### Overview

We are a developer of transparent electricity-generating coatings, and methods for their application to various materials (collectively, “**LiquidElectricity® Coatings”**). When applied in ultra-thin layers to rigid glass, and flexible glass and plastic surfaces our LiquidElectricity® Coatings transform otherwise ordinary surfaces into photovoltaic devices capable of generating electricity from natural sun, artificial light, and low, shaded, or reflected light conditions while maintaining transparency.

We have overcome major technical challenges and achieved many important milestones resulting in an expansion of the potential applications of LiquidElectricity® Coatings which span multiple industries, including architectural, automotive, agrivoltaic, aerospace, commercial transportation and marine. Our LiquidElectricity® Coatings are under development with support from commercial contract firms and at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory, through Cooperative Research and Development Agreements.

### Research and Related Agreements

We are a party to certain agreements related to the development of our technology.

### Stevenson-Wydler Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the Alliance for Sustainable Energy

On March 18, 2011, we entered into the NREL CRADA with Alliance for Sustainable Energy, the operator of the NREL under its U.S. Department of Energy contract to advance the commercial development of our technology. Under terms of the NREL CRADA, NREL researchers make use of our exclusive intellectual property (“**IP”**), newly developed IP, and NREL’s background IP in order to work towards specific product development goals, established by the Company. Under the terms of the NREL CRADA, we agreed to reimburse Alliance for Sustainable Energy for filing fees associated with all documented, out-of-pocket costs directly related to patent application preparation and filings, and maintenance of the patent applications.

On March 6, 2013, we entered into Phase II of our NREL CRADA. Under the terms of the agreement, researchers will additionally work towards:

- further improving our technology efficiency and transparency;
- optimizing electrical power (current and voltage) output;
- optimizing the application of the active layer coatings and application processes which make it possible for LiquidElectricity® Coatings to generate electricity on glass surfaces;
- developing improved electricity-generating coatings by enhancing performance, processing, reliability, and durability;
- optimizing LiquidElectricity® Coating performance on flexible substrates; and
- developing high speed and large area roll-to-roll (R2R) and sheet-to-sheet (S2S) coating application methods required for commercial-scale building integrated photovoltaic (“**BIPV”**) products and windows.

On December 28, 2015, we executed another modification to the NREL CRADA (the “**Modification”**). Under the Modification, (i) the date of completion was extended to December 2017; and (ii) the Company and the NREL will work jointly towards achieving specific product development goals and objectives for the purpose of preparing to commercialize our OPV-based transparent electricity-generating coatings for various applications, including BIPV, glass and flexible plastics.

Over the course of our collaborative research and development efforts with the NREL under the CRADA, both parties have agreed to modifications to extend the date of completion. The Company and NREL have entered into eleven such No Cost Time Extensions (“**NCTE”**). Under the terms of each NCTE, all terms and conditions of the NREL CRADA remain in full force and effect without change. The current NCTE was executed on December 6, 2021, and extends the date of completion to December 31, 2024. As of November 30, 2023, the Company had a capitalized asset balance of $103,633 related to deferred research and development costs for advances to Alliance for Sustainable Energy for work to be performed under the NREL CRADA.

### Results of Operations

Our operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2023 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year. Our quarterly results of operations have varied in the past and are likely to do so again in the future. As such, we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.

The following table presents the components of our consolidated results of operations for the periods indicated:

| Operating expenses: | Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 | 2022 | 2024 compared to 2023 Increase / (Decrease) | Percentage Change |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Selling, general & administrative | $428,991 | $313,674 | $115,317 | 37% |
| Research and development | 115,991 | 202,176 | (86,185) | -43% |
| Stock compensation | 23,215 | 85,200 | (61,985) | -73% |
| Total Operating expense | $568,197 | $601,050 | $(32,853) | -5% |

### Comparison of the three months ended November 30, 2023 to the three months ended November 30, 2022

### Selling, general and administrative

Selling, general and administrative (“**SG&A”**) costs include all expenditures incurred other than research and development related costs, including costs related to personnel, professional fees, travel and entertainment, public company costs, insurance, and other office related costs. During the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2022, SG&A costs increased primarily due to higher professional and consulting fees ($133,000), offset by decreases in personnel costs ($16,000) and other administrative costs ($2,000).

### Research and development

Research and Development (“**R&D”**) costs represent costs incurred to develop our SolarWindow® technology and are incurred pursuant to our research agreements and agreements with other third-party providers and certain internal R&D cost allocations. Payments under these agreements include salaries and benefits for R&D personnel, allocated overhead, contract services and other costs. R&D costs are expensed when incurred, except for non-refundable advance payments for future research and development activities which are capitalized and recognized as expense as the related services are performed. During the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended November 30, 2022, R&D costs decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in CRADA costs.

### Stock-based compensation

The Company grants stock options to its directors, employees and consultants. Stock compensation represents the expense associated with the amortization of our stock options. Expense associated with equity-based transactions is calculated and expensed in our financial statements as required pursuant to various accounting rules and is non-cash in nature. Stock based compensation expense decreased due to the tapering off of the vesting period of prior granted options combined with no option grants over the past few years.

### Net loss from continuing operations

Consolidated net loss from continuing operations decreased $59,535 to $499,502 during the three months ended November 30, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $559,037 in the same period of the prior year. The decrease during the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared to 2022 is primarily due to lower costs related to stock compensation, and R&D offset by higher professional and consulting fees.

### Net loss from discontinued operations

Net loss from discontinued operations of $1,870 during the three months ended November 30, 2023, and is primarily comprised of costs related to accounting fees. Net loss from discontinued operations of $167,120 during the three months ended November 30, 2022, is primarily comprised of costs related to SG&A ($87,000), legal fees ($64,000) and R&D ($16,000).

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary cash needs are for personnel, professional and R&D related fees and other administrative costs. Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and short-term investments. As of November 30, 2023, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $5,435,020. We have financed our operations primarily from the sale of equity and debt securities.

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows for the periods indicated:

|  | Three Months Ended November 30, 2023 | 2022 | 2024 compared to 2023 |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| Net cash used in operating activities | $(557,590) | $(469,447) | $(88,143) |
| Net cash provided by in investing activities | 200,000 | - | 200,000 |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | - | (500) | 500 |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $(357,590) | $(469,947) | $112,357 |

*Operating Activities -* Operating activities consist of net loss adjusted for certain non-cash items, including depreciation, stock-based compensation expense, and the effect of changes in working capital. The amount of cash used during the three months ended November 30, 2023 compared to cash used during the three months ended November 30, 2022 decreased $88,143 due to an approximate decrease in cash layouts related to personnel ($16,000), R&D ($45,000), and working capital items ($27,000).

*Investing Activities* - We have used cash primarily for liquid short-term investments, purchases of furniture, office equipment, leasehold improvements, and computers. In February 2023, we purchased $5,500,000 of twelve-month term deposits of which the Company redeemed $200,000 during the three months ended November 30, 2023

### Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments’ and Use of Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements required the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, and expenses. Management bases estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and evaluates these estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates. There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2023.

### Related Party Transactions

See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our related party transactions.

### Corporate Information

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated in 1998. The Company’s executive offices are located at 9375 E Shea Blvd., Suite 107-B, Scottsdale AZ 85260. The Company’s telephone number is (800) 213-0689. Our Internet address is *www.solarwindow.com.* We make available free of charge through our Internet website our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“**SEC”**). The information accessible through our website is not a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

## Market risk

As filed, 327 characters.

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our market risk exposure is primarily the result of fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 2,226 characters.

### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Acting Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (“**Management”**), after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of November 30, 2023, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.

### Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2023 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

## Risk factors
