Note 1 - Business Organization, Nature of Operations

Energous Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 30, 2012. The Company is developing WattUp^™, a wire-free charging technology that provides power at a distance for electronic devices that can be mobile and under full software control. The Company’s ultimate goal is to license our WattUp technology to consumer product companies, silicon manufacturers, wireless data router manufacturers and other commercial partners. The Company believes that its proprietary technology can potentially be used in a variety of devices, including smart phones, tablets, e-book readers, wearables, sensors, cameras, keyboards, mice, remote controls, rechargeable lights and any other devices, requiring less than 10 watts, with similar charging requirements that would otherwise need a battery or a connection to a power outlet.

The Company believes its technology is novel in its approach, in that it charges devices by surrounding them with a radio frequency (“RF”) pocket (“RF pocket”). The Company is developing solutions that enable wire-free transmission of energy from one or multiple transmitter(s) to multiple receivers connected to or integrated into electronic devices, at distances of up to fifteen (15) feet. The Company has developed multiple prototype systems consisting of either a single or multiple transmitter (s) in various forms and sizes, multiple smart phone receiver cases, various other forms of receiving devices and management software to demonstrate the technology.

Note 2 – Liquidity and Management Plans

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company has recorded revenue of $225,000 and $425,000, respectively. The Company incurred a net (loss) income of ($6,146,582) and $278,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and net loss of $13,071,861 and $30,731,102 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Since inception, the Company has met its liquidity requirements principally through the private placement of convertible notes, the sale of its common stock in a registered public offering, the sale of its common stock to a strategic investor, the issuance of its common stock to the Company’s landlord to reduce its monthly base rent obligation and pay for certain tenant improvements, the sale of common stock in a December 2014 secondary offering and revenue associated with product development projects entered into with customers.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company had cash on hand of $20,508,268. In April 2014, the Company completed its IPO of 4,600,000 shares of common stock through which the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $24.8 million. In connection with the completion of the IPO, the Company’s outstanding convertible notes and interest accrued thereon were converted into 1,833,336 and 96,792 shares, respectively, of common stock, thus extinguishing the debt associated with the notes. On April 4, 2014, the Company issued 210,527 shares of common stock to a strategic investor upon the receipt of net proceeds of $900,000 ($300,000 received on March 27, 2014, $700,000 received on April 4, 2014 less $100,000 to MDB Capital Group as a commission ). On September 10, 2014, the Company issued 41,563 shares of common stock to the Company’s landlord as prepaid rent and tenant improvements. On November 12, 2014, the Company issued 5,353 shares of common stock to a search firm for services associated with recruiting certain employees. In December 2014, the Company completed a secondary offering of 3,285,714 shares of common stock through which the Company raised net proceeds of approximately $21.0 million. The Company expects that cash on hand as of June 30, 2015, together with anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations into the third quarter of 2016.

Note 2 – Liquidity and Management Plans, continued

Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable.  Although the Company will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that our available resources including the net proceeds from the Company’s IPO, secondary offering, and strategic investor financing will be sufficient to enable it to develop and obtain regulatory approval of its technology to the extent needed to create future revenues sufficient to sustain its operations.  The Company may choose to pursue additional financing, depending upon the market conditions, which could include follow-on equity offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements or other alternatives. Should the Company choose to pursue additional financing, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to do so on terms that it would find acceptable. On April 24, 2015, the Company filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, under which the Company may from time to time, sell any combination of debt or equity securities up to an aggregate of $75,000,000.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”), and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 30, 2015.  The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those described in the December 31, 2014 audited financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported expenses during the reporting periods.

The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the valuation of the Company’s common stock, the valuation of stock-based compensation instruments and recognition of revenue, the useful lives of long-lived assets, and income tax expense. Some of these judgments can be subjective and complex, and, consequently, actual results may differ from these estimates. Although the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the estimates and assumptions were made. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net (loss) income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances that may be uninsured or in deposit accounts that exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. The Company maintains its cash deposits with major financial institutions.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, collection of the revenue is reasonably assured, and the fees are fixed or determinable.

The Company records revenue associated with product development projects that it enters into with certain customers.  In general, these projects are associated with complex technology development, and as such the Company does not have certainty about its ability to achieve the program milestones. Achievement of the milestone is dependent on our performance and the milestone typically needs to be accepted by the customer. The payment associated with achieving the milestone is generally commensurate with the Company’s effort or the value of the deliverable and is nonrefundable. However, the Company also expects to receive nonrefundable payments, typically at the beginning of a customer relationship, for which there are no milestones. The Company recognizes this revenue ratably over the initial engineering product development period. The Company records the expenses related to these projects in the periods incurred and recognizes revenue when it has achieved the development milestones.  The costs associated with the revenue from these projects are expensed as incurred and generally included in research and development expense.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. For internally developed patents, all patent application costs are expensed as incurred as research and development expense. Patent application costs, generally legal costs, are expensed as research and development costs until such time as the future economic benefits of such patents become more certain. The Company incurred research and development costs of $3,779,852 and $1,556,493 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $8,055,416 and $2,485,706 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with accounting guidance that requires that awards are recorded at their fair value on the date of grant and are amortized over the vesting period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the equity instrument issued.

Income Taxes

Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in the Company’s tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of June 30, 2015, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share, continued

 Basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). The computation of diluted (loss) income per share excludes potentially dilutive securities of 4,754,243 and 0 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and 4,754,243 and 2,669,006 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, because their inclusion would be antidilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company calculated the potential diluted earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, as follows:

Since the effect of the assumed conversion of convertible debt on diluted earnings per share would be, in fact, anti-dilutive, the assumed conversion of convertible debt has been excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net (loss) income per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in the ASU must be applied using one of two retrospective methods and are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On July 9, 2015, the FASB modified ASU 2014-09 to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. As modified, the FASB permits the adoption of the new revenue standard early, but not before the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. A public organization would apply the new revenue standard to all interim reporting periods within the year of adoption. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Under U.S. GAAP, financial statements are prepared under the presumption that the reporting organization will continue to operate as a going concern, except in limited circumstances. Financial reporting under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting.

The going concern basis of accounting is critical to financial reporting because it establishes the fundamental basis for measuring and classifying assets and liabilities. Currently, U.S. GAAP lacks guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statement footnotes. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs." This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard would have on our condensed financial statements.

Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies

Investor Relations Agreements

Effective January 13, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor (“IR Firm”) to provide investor relations services to the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, in addition to monthly cash compensation of $8,000 per month, on March 27, 2014 the Company issued to the IR firm a consulting warrant (“IR Consulting Warrant”) for the purchase of 36,000 shares of common stock. The IR Consulting Warrant has a strike price of $7.80, representing 130% of the IPO price. The IR Consulting Warrant had an initial catch up vesting equivalent to 3,000 shares per month of service, partial months to be prorated on a thirty (30) day basis, from the effective date of this agreement until March 27, 2014. Thereafter, the IR Consulting Warrant vested at a rate of 3,000 shares per month of service. On February 26, 2015, the Company issued to the IR Firm incentive warrants (“IR Incentive Warrants”) to purchase 15,000 shares of common stock with a strike price of $7.80 based upon certain qualified investors and/or institutional or brokerage firms having purchased at least $250,000 in value of the Company’s common shares at the IPO price or greater in the open market on or after the 46^th day following March 27, 2014. All IR Incentive Warrants granted during a six month period will collectively vest at each six month anniversary. Both the IR Consulting Warrant and IR Incentive Warrants will have an expiration date four (4) years from the grant date. The shares underlying both the IR Consulting Warrant and the IR Incentive Warrants will either be registered at the next available opportunity or the warrants will include a cashless exercise provision.

As of March 31, 2015, all 36,000 shares under the IR Consulting Warrant were vested. The Company incurred stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $98,545 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $7,522 and $159,573 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in connection with the IR Consulting Warrant, which was included in general and administrative expense.

On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a six month consulting agreement with a consultant to provide the Company with investor relations services. Compensation under the agreement included the Company’s issuance on February 26, 2015, of 15,000 shares of common stock valued at $147,900 and monthly cash payments of $5,000. The total value of the common stock compensation was recorded as a prepaid expense and is being amortized over the six month contract period. The Company incurred amortization expense of $73,950 and $110,925 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, which was included in general and administrative expense.

Operating Leases

On September 10, 2014, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with Balzer Family Investments, L.P. (the “Landlord”) related to space located at Northpointe Business Center, 3590 North First Street, San Jose, California. The initial term of the lease is 60 months, with initial monthly base rent of $36,720 and the lease is subject to certain annual escalations as defined in the agreement. On October 1, 2014, the Company relocated its headquarters to this new location.  The Company issued to the Landlord 41,563 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $500,000, of which $400,000 will be applied to reduce the Company’s monthly base rent obligation by $6,732 per month and of which $100,000 was for certain tenant improvements. The Company recorded $400,000 as prepaid rent on its balance sheet, which is being amortized over the term of the lease and recorded $100,000 as leasehold improvements.

Development and Licensing Agreement

Effective January 28, 2015, the Company signed a development and licensing agreement with a consumer electronics company to embed WattUp wire-free charging receiver technology in various products including, but not limited to certain mobile consumer electronics and related accessories. During the development phase and through customer shipment of their first product, Energous will afford this customer an exclusive “time to market advantage” in the licensed product categories.

This development and licensing agreement contains both invention and development milestones that the Company will need to achieve during the next two years. Pursuant to the Agreement, on March 23, 2015, the Company received an initial non-refundable payment of $500,000. The agreement provides for additional amounts to be received by the Company based upon its achievement of certain milestones which were initially recorded as deferred revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized as revenue $225,000 and $425,000, respectively, under the agreement.

Effective April 3, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment of the development and license agreement with this consumer electronics company to include joint development of wire-free transmitter technology and technology license back to the Company. On June 5, 2015, the Company entered into a second amendment of the development and license agreement with this consumer electronics company to conform the agreement for technical changes in the product delivery milestones.

Amended Employee Agreement – Stephen Rizzone

On April 3, 2015, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreement with Stephen R. Rizzone, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”).

The Employment Agreement has an effective date of January 1, 2015 and an initial term of four years (the “Initial Employment Period”). The Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $365,000, and Mr. Rizzone is eligible to receive quarterly cash bonuses with a total target amount equal to 100% of his base salary based upon achievement of performance-based objectives established by the Company’s board of directors.

Pursuant to Mr. Rizzone’s prior employment agreement, on December 12, 2013 Mr. Rizzone was granted a ten year option to purchase 275,689 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.68 vesting over four years in 48 monthly installments beginning October 1, 2013 (the “First Option”). Mr. Rizzone was also granted a second option award to purchase 496,546 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 (the “Second Option”). The Second Option vests over the same vesting schedule as the First Option.

Effective with the approval on May 21, 2015 by the Company’s stockholders of its new performance-based equity plan, the Employment Agreement provided and Mr. Rizzone received, a grant of 639,075 Performance Share Units (the “PSUs”). The PSUs, which represent the right to receive shares of common stock, shall be earned based on the Company’s achievement of market capitalization growth between the effective date of the Employment Agreement and the end of the Initial Employment Period. If the Company’s market capitalization is $100 million or less, no PSUs will be earned. If the Company reaches a market capitalization of $1.1 billion or more, 100% of the PSUs will be earned. For market capitalization between $100 million and $1.1 billion, the percentage of PSUs earned will be determined on a quarterly basis based on straight line interpolation. PSUs earned as of the end of a calendar quarter will be paid 50% immediately and 50% will be deferred until the end of the Initial Employment Period subject to Mr. Rizzone’s continued employment with the Company (See Note 6).

Mr. Rizzone is also eligible to receive all customary and usual benefits generally available to senior executives of the Company.

The Employment Agreement provides that if Mr. Rizzone’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability, if Mr. Rizzone’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or if he resigns for good reason, twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to the Option and the Second Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable, he will have a period of one year post-termination to exercise the Option and the Second Option, and if a Liquidation Event (as defined in the Employment Agreement) shall occur prior to the termination of the Option and the Second Option, one hundred percent (100%) of the shares subject to the Option and Second Option shall immediately vest and become exercisable effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Liquidation Event. In addition, any outstanding deferred PSUs shall be immediately vested and paid, but any remaining unearned portion of the PSUs shall immediately be canceled and forfeited.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

On August 14, 2014, the compensation committee of the board of directors granted two inducement RSU awards to Cesar Johnston, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Engineering. Under the first award, Mr. Johnston has the right to receive 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and this award vests over four years beginning on the first anniversary of his employment start date of July 14, 2014. In addition, Mr. Johnston was granted 20,000 performance based RSU awards.

Overview

We are developing technology that can enable wire-free charging that provides power at a distance for electronic devices that are mobile and under full software control. Our ultimate goal is to license our WattUp™ technology to consumer product companies, silicon manufacturers, wireless data router manufacturers and other commercial partners to make wire-free charging an affordable, ubiquitous and convenient service for end users. There are a wide variety of potential uses for our proprietary technology, including smart phones, e-book readers, tablets, wearables, keyboards, mice, remote controls, rechargeable lights, the Internet of Things (IOT), cylindrical batteries, toys, gaming consoles and any other devices, requiring less than 10 watts, with similar charging requirements that would otherwise need a battery or a connection to a power outlet.

We believe our technology is novel in its approach, in that it charges devices by surrounding them with a three dimensional (“3D”) radio frequency (“RF”) pocket (“RF pocket”). We are developing solutions that enable wire-free transmission of energy from multiple transmitters to multiple receivers connected to or integrated into electronic devices, with a range of fifteen (15) feet in radius or in a circular charging envelope of thirty (30) feet. We have developed multiple prototype systems consisting of single and multiple transmitters in various forms and sizes, multiple smart phone receiver cases, various other forms of receiving devices and management software. We have validated the technology in our laboratories and developed multiple prototype systems consisting of either a single or multiple transmitter(s) in various forms and sizes, multiple smartphone receiver cases, various other forms of receiving devices and management software to demonstrate the technology.

Our technology solution consists principally of transmitter and receiver application specific integrated circuits (“ASICs”) and novel antenna designs driven through innovative algorithms and software applications. We are developing multiple generations of transmitter and receiver ASICs, multiple antenna designs, as well as algorithms and software designs that we believe, in the aggregate, will optimize our technology by reducing size and cost, while increasing performance to a level that we believe will allow for our technology to be integrated into low-power devices (that we have defined as devices requiring less than 10 watts), thereby eliminating the need for a charging cord or pad to maintain a charge. We submitted our first ASIC design for wafer fabrication in November 2013. Since then, we have continued to improve on our ASIC developments and we expect to continue investing in this area. We are also developing what we believe will be an enterprise class management and control system for our WattUp solution that will incorporate cloud-based network management as well as the necessary local interface and control for the transmitter and receiver.

We believe that if our development, regulatory and commercialization efforts are successful, our transmitter and receiver solutions will initially be able to simultaneously charge multiple mobile consumer electronic devices at varying charging levels, depending on the number of devices, with a range of fifteen (15) feet in radius or in a circular charging envelope of thirty (30) feet. Subsequent development efforts will focus on increasing the power delivery capability, increasing distance, enhancing the management and control solution and lowering overall system cost.

As part of our commercialization efforts, in May 2014 we executed our first of 16 joint development agreements with strategic partners which provide for the exchange of technology and which serve to describe the integration of our technology into the strategic partners’ products. At the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in January 2015, we met with over 100 existing or new potential joint development partners and investors and demonstrated whole house charging coverage through the use of WattUp technology through multiple transmitters packaged in a variety of consumer-friendly form factors, including televisions, bed-side units, sound bars, wall units and speakers. It is our objective during 2015 to narrow our research and development efforts to strategic partners whose goals, capabilities and commercialization potential most closely align with ours. Accordingly, in January 2015 we entered into a funded product development and licensing agreement with a tier 1 consumer electronics company to embed our receiver technology in various products including, but not limited to, mobile consumer electronics and certain related accessories. During the development phase through the first customer shipment, we will afford this customer a time to market advantage in the licensed product categories. This agreement contains both invention and development milestones that will need to be met for the agreement to continue through to the licensing phase.

We have pursued an aggressive intellectual property strategy and are developing new patents. As of June 30, 2015, we had in excess of 150 pending U.S. patent and provisional patent applications. In addition to the inventions covered by these patent applications, we have identified a significant number of additional specific inventions we believe may be novel and patentable. We intend to file for patent protection for the most valuable of these, as well as for other new inventions that we expect to develop. Our strategy is to continually monitor the costs and benefits of each patent application and pursue those that will best protect our business, such as in the area of directed power transmission, energy harvesting and network management. We have received our first notice of allowance from the U.S. patent office and we believe that the first of our patents will be issued during the third or fourth quarter of 2015.

We have recruited and hired a seasoned management team with public company and relevant industry experience to develop and execute our operating plan. In addition, we have identified and hired additional engineering resources, which we expect will build up the engineering capability of our internal team.

During the three and six months ended June, 2015, we have recorded revenue of $225,000 and $425,000, respectively, and have incurred significant losses from operations since inception. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future as we develop our technology.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, collection of the revenue is reasonably assured, and the fees are fixed or determinable.

We record revenue associated with product development projects that we enter into with certain customers. In general, these projects are associated with complex technology development, and as such we do not have certainty about our ability to achieve the program milestones. Achievement of the milestone is dependent on our performance and the milestone typically needs to be accepted by the customer. The payment associated with achieving the milestone is generally commensurate with our effort or the value of the deliverable and is nonrefundable. However, we also expect to receive nonrefundable payments, typically at the beginning of a customer relationship, for which there are no milestones. We typically recognize this revenue ratably over the initial engineering product development period. Therefore, we record the expenses related to these projects in the periods incurred and recognizes revenue when it has achieved the development milestones. The costs associated with the revenue from these projects are expensed as incurred and generally included in research and development expense.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded revenue of $225,000 and $425,000, respectively. We had not recorded any revenue prior to 2015.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenues.  During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded revenue of $225,000. We had not recorded any revenue prior to 2015.

Operating Expenses and Loss from Operations.  Operating expenses are made up of research and development, general and administrative and marketing expenses. Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $6,149,970 and $3,495,023, respectively.

Research and development costs. Research and development costs include costs for developing our technology such as ASIC design costs, salaries, software and facility costs. Research and development costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $3,779,852 and $1,556,493, respectively. The increase in research and development costs of $2,223,359 is primarily due to a $1,703,401 increase in compensation (including an increase in stock-based compensation of $404,508) from a larger headcount within the department and a $509,101 increase in spending on components, third party design and engineering supplies primarily principally in support of ASIC development partially offset by a decrease of $194,779 in costs pertaining to patent filings.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $9,709 as compared to interest expense, net of $1,034,737 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and included amortization of debt discount of $0 and $964,851, respectively. The change in interest income (expense), net, resulted primarily from the reduction in amortization of debt discount. The related convertible notes were extinguished in April 2014 and accordingly there was no similar amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Gain on Debt Extinguishment. Gain on debt extinguishment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $0 as compared to $2,084,368 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The gain on debt extinguishment resulted from the conversion of the convertible notes and the related extinguishment of the notes, accrued interest payable and the derivative liability.

Net Loss. As a result of the above, net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $13,071,861 as compared to $30,731,102 for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three and six months ended June, 2015, we recorded revenue of $225,000 and $425,000, respectively, and have a net (loss) income of ($6,146,582) and $278,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and net losses of $13,071,861 and $30,731,102 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Since inception, we have met our liquidity requirements principally through the private placement of convertible notes, the sale of our common stock in registered public offerings, the issuance of our common stock to our landlord to reduce our monthly base rent obligations and pay for certain tenant improvements and the sale of our common stock in a December 2014 secondary offering.

As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $20,508,268.

We believe our current cash on hand, together with anticipated revenues, will be sufficient to fund our operations into the third quarter of 2016. However, we may require additional financing to fully implement our business plan, the ultimate goal of which is to license our technology to device manufacturers, wireless service providers and other commercial partners to make wire-free charging an affordable, ubiquitous and convenient service for end users. Potential financing sources could include follow-on equity offerings, debt financing, co-development agreements or other alternatives. Depending upon market conditions, we may choose to pursue additional financing to, among other reasons, accelerate our product development efforts, regulatory activities and business development and support functions with a view to capitalizing on the market opportunity we see for our wire-free charging technology. On April 24, 2015, we filed a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3, under which we may from time to time, sell any combination of debt or equity securities up to an aggregate of $75,000,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash flows used in operating activities were $10,500,199, consisting of a net loss of $13,071,861, less non-cash expenses aggregating $3,253,459 (representing principally stock-based compensation of $2,798,766 and depreciation expense of $414,301), offset by a decrease of $898,670 in accounts payable. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash flows used in operating activities were $4,426,554, consisting of a net loss of $30,731,102, offset by non-cash expenses of $26,112,969 and net changes in operating assets and liabilities of $191,579.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, cash flows used in investing activities were $512,912 and $354,953, respectively. The cash used for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of the purchase of laboratory and computer equipment and software to accommodate newly hired employees and to support engineering services and testing performed for our customers.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash flows provided by financing activities were $26,787, which consisted of proceeds from the exercise of stock options and the disgorgement of profit from the sale of stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, cash flows provided by financing activities were $25,773,170 and consisted principally of the net proceeds from our IPO of $24,872,170, and net proceeds of $900,000 from the sale of our common stock.

Research and development of new technologies is, by its nature, unpredictable. Although we will undertake development efforts with commercially reasonable diligence, there can be no assurance that our available resources including the net proceeds from our public offerings will be sufficient to enable us to develop our technology to the extent needed to create future revenues to sustain our operations.

We cannot assure that our technology will be adopted, that we will ever earn revenues sufficient to support our operations, or that we will ever be profitable. Furthermore, since we have no committed source of financing, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital as and when we need it to continue our operations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and interim chief financial officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, as of June 30, 2015, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for the purpose of providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
