NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Liquidity

We have historically incurred losses from operations, and we may continue to generate negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using US GAAP as applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

On April 23, 2020, we entered into an amended and restated Draw Loan Note and Agreement and related transaction documents (collectively, the “Amended Dow Facility”) with the Dow Chemical Company to amend the terms of our current loan facility to allow us to structure a private placement of units (“Units”) comprised (in part) of subordinated, secured convertible notes (“Convertible Notes” and such offering, the “Unit Offering”), to support ongoing cash needs. In the Amended Dow Facility, the Company and Dow agreed to 1) extend the term of such loan facility by two years to December 1, 2023, 2) significantly reduce any required prepayment to Dow from the proceeds of new equity or equity-linked financings from the current 30-50% prepayment requirement on the pre-existing Dow Facility to a 10% prepayment requirement in the Amended Dow Facility, which does not begin until after we have raised an additional $7 million in equity or equity-linked capital from the date of the amendment, 3) capitalize all interest payable until such time as we have recorded GAAP revenue of at least $2 million for two consecutive calendar quarters 4) increase the rate of interest to 6.5% per annum from 5% in the pre-existing Dow Facility, and 5) allow for a subordinated security interest to be granted to new investors in the Unit Offering.

Immediately after the execution of the transaction documents related to the Amended Dow Facility, we commenced the Unit Offering in a private placement to accredited investors. The Unit Offering is comprised of the Convertible Notes and a right to exchange two shares of previously issued Common Stock of the Company for two shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series B Preferred Stock”) for every $8.00 invested in the Unit Offering (the “Exchange Rights”). The Convertible Notes are secured by a junior security interest in all the assets of the Company, bear an interest rate of 7.5% per annum and mature on December 31, 2024. Each investor’s Exchange Rights are exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days after acceptance by the Company of a fully executed subscription agreement.

At the option of each holder, the Convertible Notes are convertible into either i) Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $8.00/share; or ii) any other form of preferred or common stock (“Subsequent Stock”) issued by the Company at a conversion price per share equal to 80% of the purchase price per share at which such Subsequent Stock is sold (or if the value per share is fixed, ~~120~~125% of the number of shares that might otherwise be issuable).

If and when we raise at least $15 million of equity capital (excluding capital raised in this Unit Offering), the Convertible Notes will be automatically converted into whichever of the following equity securities would result in the greatest number of shares of Common Stock being issued to the holders on an “as-if-converted” basis at such time: (i) Series B Preferred Stock at a note conversion price of $8.00/share; or (ii) Subsequent Stock at a note conversion price per share equal to 80% of the purchase price per share at which such Subsequent Stock is sold (or if the value per share is fixed, 120% of the number of shares that might otherwise be issuable); provided, however, in the event the Company raises at least $15 million of equity capital within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the first issue date of Convertible Notes, such percentages will be changed to 90% of the purchase price per share at which such Subsequent Stock is sold (or, if the value per share is fixed, 110% of the number of shares that might otherwise be issuable).

XG SCIENCES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has an original issue price of $8.00 per share (the “Series B Original Issue Price”) and a liquidation preference of $8.00 per share, with both the Series B Original Issue Price and the liquidation preference per share subject to adjustment for stock splits, recapitalizations, and the like. The Series B Preferred Stock will be senior to the Company’s Common Stock and pari-passu with the Series A Preferred Stock in terms of right of repayment in a liquidation.

The Series B Preferred Stock has full ratchet antidilution protection that provides that each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding may be converted by an Investor at any time into that number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the then current Series B Original Issue Price by the applicable Conversion Price (as defined below) with the resulting fraction equal to the “Series B Conversion Rate”. The total number of shares of Common Stock issuable will be equal to the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted multiplied by the Series B Conversion Rate. The “Conversion Price” is, at any time, the price per share equal to the lesser of a) the Series B Original Issue Price per share and b) the lowest price per share at which the Company has sold equity or equity-linked securities (other than customary exclusions) at any future date while any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding. The Series B Original Issue Price and Conversion Price in effect at any time are also subject to proportional adjustment for share splits, share dividends, recapitalizations, and the like.

On April 23, 2020, certain members of our Board of Directors and their affiliates purchased $550,000 of ~~Units~~convertible notes.

Taking into consideration our current cash on hand, we estimate that we will need to raise approximately $500,000 - $1,000,000 of additional capital ~~in order~~ to continue our operations for the next twelve months in a minimal to no revenue growth environment.

Our Common Stock is not currently quoted on or traded on any exchange or on any over-the-counter market. In the event we are unable to fund our operations from existing cash on hand, operating cash flows, additional borrowings or raising equity capital, we may be forced to reduce our expenses, slow down our growth rate, or discontinue operations. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "“Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,"” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2021. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement, and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance has on our financial position and results of operations.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, "“Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321)"”, "“Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323)"”, and "“Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between ~~Topic~~ Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815"”, which clarifies that an entity should consider observable transactions when either applying or discontinuing the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with Topic 321. ASU 2020-01 clarifies that for certain forward contracts or purchased options to acquire investments, an entity should not consider whether, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, the underlying securities would be accounted for under the equity method or the fair value option. ASU 2020-01 is effective for us for annual periods beginning January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement and the impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance has on our financial position and results of operations.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "“Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting,"” which provides optional guidance and expedients for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are intended to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this update are elective and are effective upon issuance. We are currently assessing whether and how we will elect to apply ASU 2020-04.

~~With~~Except ~~the~~for ~~exception of~~ the standards discussed above, we believe there have been no new accounting pronouncements effective or not yet ~~effective~~ effective that have significance, or potential significance, to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dow Facility

In December 2016, we entered into the Dow Facility which provided us with up to $10 million of secured debt financing at an interest rate of 5% per year, drawable at our request under certain conditions. WeUnder ~~received~~the original terms, the loan matured on December 1, 2021.

~~Under~~The warrants meet the ~~original~~criteria ~~terms,~~for classification within stockholders’ equity. Proceeds were allocated between the ~~loan~~debt ~~matured~~and the warrants at their relative fair value on ~~December~~the 1date of issue. The total debt discount on the Dow Facility was approximately $747,000. ~~2021~~This ~~(subject~~debt discount is being amortized to ~~certain~~interest ~~mandatory~~expense ~~prepayments~~using ~~based~~the oneffective ~~our~~interest ~~equity~~method ~~financing~~over the term of the loans ~~activities)~~using an average effective interest rate of 7.9%.

We began these prepayments on equity raised as of September 10, 2018. Interest was payable beginning January 1, 2017 although we elected, per the loan documents, to capitalize the interest as part of the outstanding debt through January 1, 2019. Beginning April 1, 2019, current interest was payable in cash on the first day of following the quarter.

Dow received warrant coverage of one share of common stock for each $40 in loans received by us, equating to 20% warrant coverage, with an exercise price of $8.00 per share for the warrants issued at closing of the initial $2 million draw. After the initial closing, the strike price of future warrants issued is subject to adjustment if we sell shares of common stock at a lower price. As of March 31, 2020, we have issued 250,000 warrants to Dow, which are exercisable on or before the expiration date of December 1, 2023.

On April 23, 2020, we entered into an amended and restated Draw Loan Note and Agreement and related transaction documents (collectively, the “Amended Dow Facility”) whereby the Company and Dow agreed to 1) extend the term of such loan facility by two years to December 1, 2023, 2) significantly reduce any required prepayment to Dow from the proceeds of new equity or equity-linked financings from the current 30-50% prepayment requirement on the pre-existing Dow Facility to a 10% prepayment requirement in the Amended Dow Facility, which does not begin until after we have raised an additional $7 million in equity or equity-linked capital from the date of the amendment, 3) capitalize all interest payable until such time as we have recorded GAAP revenue of at least $2 million for two consecutive calendar quarters, 4) increase the rate of interest to 6.5% per annum from 5% in the pre-existing Dow Facility, and 5) allow for a subordinated security interest to be granted to new investors in the Unit Offering.

The aforementioned warrants meet the criteria for classification within stockholders’ equity. Proceeds were allocated between the debt and the warrants at their relative fair value on the date of issue. The total debt discount on the Dow Facility was approximately $676,000. This debt discount is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the loans using an average effective interest rate of 8.2%. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $179,085 of amortization expense consisting of $115,318 of interest expense accrued and $63,767 of amortization from debt discount accretion related to the Dow Facility warrants. We borrowed an additional $1,000,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2020, resulting in a carrying value of $9,219,420 for the Dow Facility as of March 31, 2020.

The Dow Facility entitles Dow to appoint an observer to our Board. Dow will maintain this observation right until the amount of principal and interest outstanding under the Dow Facility is less than $5 million.

NOTE 5 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company was authorized to issue up to 1,500,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, of which ~~none~~137,500 and zero were issued and outstanding as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2020 and December 31, 2019. On March 31, 2021, the Company was authorized to issue up to 3,750,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Exchange rights received with the purchase of each unit of the Convertible Notes Unit offering dated April 23, 2020, allow for an exchange of two shares of Common Stock for two shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Exchange rights exercised resulted in the issuance of Series B Preferred stock as listed below.

Each share of the Series B Preferred, is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of common stock. The Series B Preferred also contains typical anti-dilution provisions that provide for adjustment of the conversion price to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events. Each share of Series B Preferred is subject to mandatory conversion into common stock at the then-effective Series B conversion rate upon the public listing by the Company of its common stock on a Qualified National Exchange. However, the Series B Preferred is not subject to the mandatory conversion until all outstanding Convertible Securities are also converted into common stock. The Series B Preferred ranks senior to all other equity or equity equivalent securities of the Company other than those securities which are explicitly senior or pari passu in rights and liquidation preference to the Series B Preferred and pari passu with the Company’s Series A Preferred.

The Series B Preferred also contains typical anti-dilution provisions that provide for adjustment of the conversion price to reflect stock splits, stock dividends, or similar events. Each share of Series B Preferred is subject to mandatory conversion into common stock at the then-effective Series B conversion rate upon the public listing by the Company of its common stock on a Qualified National Exchange. However, the Series B Preferred is not subject to the mandatory conversion until all outstanding Convertible Securities are also converted into common stock. The Series B Preferred ranks senior to all other equity or equity equivalent securities of the Company other than those securities which are explicitly senior or pari passu in rights and liquidation preference to the Series B Preferred and pari passu with the Company’s Series A Preferred.

On April 27, 2020, the Company filed the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred Stock in connection with the Unit Offering and the Amended Dow Facility, lowering the liquidation preference from $16.00 per share to $8.00 per share, and lowering the conversion price from $16.00 per share to $8.00 per share, among other things. The Company also adjusted certain provisions to harmonize the rights of the Series B Preferred with the rights in the Series A Certificate of Designations. On December 28, 2020, the Board of Directors and a majority of the holders of Series A and Series B Preferred Stock consented to Amendments to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock by adapting the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Series A and of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations continue to allow for liquidation preference prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of the Corporation to the holders of junior securities and, as amended, after the payment of all preferential amounts required to be paid to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and other senior securities, the remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution to its stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of junior securities, including the Common Stock. On March 31, 2021, subsequent to consent by the Board of Directors and a majority of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, the Company filed the Fourth Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock increasing the number of authorized shares from 1,250,000 to 3,750,000.

The Series A Preferred and Series B Preferred are not redeemable for cash and the Company concluded that they are more akin to equity-type instruments than debt-type instruments. Accordingly, the embedded conversion option in each agreement is clearly and closely related to an equity-type host and the conversion option does not require classification and measurement as a derivative financial instrument. Therefore, the securities meet the conditions for stockholders’ equity classification.

~~During the~~ ~~period~~We ~~from~~evaluated ~~April 1 through~~ the ~~filing~~accounting ~~date~~for ~~of this report, we entered into~~ the ~~Amended Dow Facility, commenced the Unit Offering~~amendment and ~~received~~concluded ~~$550,000~~it inmet ~~funding~~the ~~therefrom,~~conditions weto ~~amended~~be ~~and~~a ~~restated~~troubled ~~our~~debt ~~Certificate~~restructure. ofThe ~~Designation~~future ofcash ~~Series~~flows Bon ~~Preferred~~the ~~Stock, received~~restructured adebt ~~Paycheck~~were ~~Protection Program loan of~~ approximately $~~825,200,~~2.7 ~~and~~million ~~received~~greater athan ~~$10,000~~the ~~Economic~~carrying ~~Industry~~value ~~Disaster~~of ~~Loan~~the ~~grant,~~debt ~~all of~~ which was ~~disclosed~~accounted infor ~~detail~~prospectively inthrough the ~~Company’s~~effective ~~Annual~~interest ~~Report on Form 10-K as filed April 29, 2020~~rate.

Immediately after executing the Amended Dow Facility, we commenced a Unit Offering in a private placement to accredited investors. The Unit Offering consists of (i) an offering of up to $10 million in Convertible Notes (“Notes”) in $8 units, and (ii) an assignable or transferrable right to exchange two shares of previously issued common stock for two shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for every $8.00 invested in the Unit Offering (“Exchange Rights”). As of June 30, 2020, we have raised $550,000 in the Unit Offering through the sale of 68,750 Units and 137,043 shares of Common Stock have been exchanged for 137,043 shares of Preferred Series B stock.

The Convertible Notes pay interest at 7.5% per year, compounded quarterly, which is payable on the maturity date unless the Company has recorded GAAP revenue of at least $4.0 million for two consecutive quarters at which time the holder may elect to receive all accrued interest in cash on a quarterly basis. The maturity date of the Notes is December 31, 2024. The Notes are convertible at the holder’s option into either) Series B Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $8.00/share; or ii) any other form of preferred or common stock (“Subsequent Stock”) issued by the Company at a conversion price per share equal to 80% of the purchase price per share at which such Subsequent Equity is sold, or if the value per share is fixed, 125% of the number of shares that might otherwise be issuable, provided that if a Qualified Capital Event occurs within 120 days after the initial funding, then the conversion price will be 90% of the purchase price per share at which the Subsequent Equity is sold, or if the value per share is fixed, 110% of the number of shares that would otherwise be issuable. No Qualified Capital Event has occurred within 120 days after the initial funding on April 23, 2020.

If we raise at least $15 million of equity capital, excluding equity raised in this offering, we may choose to convert the outstanding amount due and payable under the Note into whichever form of conversion shares would result in the greatest number of shares of Common Stock being issued to the holder in an “as-if-converted” into Common Stock basis at the conversion price then in effect.

In the event the Notes are outstanding on the date our shares of Common Stock are listed on a Qualified National Exchange, then the Notes will automatically be converted first into Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $8.00 per share and then into shares of Common Stock at the Series B Conversion Rate in effect at the time. If there is a change in control, all principal and accrued interest will paid in cash or can be converted according to the terms of the Note, at the holder’s option.

XG SCIENCES, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Notes are secured by a junior security interest in all the assets of the Company. The Notes may not be prepaid prior to the maturity date, but they may be transferred at any time to i) any entity controlled by the holder, ii) any investors in the holder or iii) any other accredited investor only in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933 and other state laws.

After the original issue date but prior to the date we raise $15 million of cumulative equity capital, excluding capital raised in this Offering, if we consummate a financing transaction with a third-party using any other form of convertible debt security, then the holder has the right to exchange their outstanding obligations for a new security with the same terms as the new convertible debt security offered to the third party. This provision is viewed as a redemption option.

Embedded features in the Notes were analyzed under ASC 815 to determine if they required bifurcation as derivative instruments. To be a derivative, one of the criteria is that the embedded component must be net settleable. The Company’s common stock is not publicly traded, there is no mechanism outside the notes that would permit the holder to achieve net settlement and the underlying shares are not readily convertible to cash. Accordingly, the embedded derivatives, including the embedded conversion feature, do not meet the definition of a derivative, and therefore, do not require bifurcation from the host instrument. Certain default put provisions, the change in control repayment provision and the redemption option were not considered to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument but we concluded that the value of these provisions was de minim us at inception. We reconsider the value of these provisions each reporting period to determine if the value becomes material to the financial statements.

For every $8.00 invested in the Unit Offering, we provided investors in the Unit Offering, the one-time right to exchange two shares of previously issued Common Stock for two shares of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company within 30 days of the closing (the “Exchange Right”). The Exchange Right is fully transferable and assignable to any other party during the 30-day period if they are an accredited investor and executed a joinder to become bound by the terms of the Agreement. The Exchange Right is a freestanding financial instrument, and its fair value is estimated based on the incremental fair value between the exchanged Common Stock and the issued Preferred Stock. In this instance, the Exchange Right was included as part of the Unit Financing in conjunction with the issuance of the Notes, therefore, the proceeds from the financing were allocated between the Notes and the Exchange Right based on their relative fair values. The difference between the fair value of the Exchange Right and the relative fair value assigned to the Exchange Right is recognized immediately as Nonoperating expense. As of June 30, 2020, Nonoperating expense of $136 had been recorded related to the Exchange Rights.

A convertible financial instrument includes a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”)if the effective conversion price is less than the company’s market price of their stock on the commitment date. The BCF for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $122,230

The sale of Convertible Notes through the quarter ended March 31, 2021, raised total proceeds of $6,440,280.

Overview of our Business

XG Sciences was formed in May 2006 for the purpose of commercializing certain technology to produce graphene nanoplatelets and integrated, value-added products containing graphene nanoplatelets. First isolated and characterized in 2004, graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms configured in an atomic-scale honeycomb lattice. Among many noted properties, monolayer graphene is harder than diamonds, lighter than steel but significantly stronger, and conducts electricity better than copper. Graphene nanoplatelets are particles consisting of multiple layers of graphene. Graphene nanoplatelets have unique capabilities for energy storage, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, barrier properties, lubricity and the ability to impart physical property improvements when incorporated into plastics, metals or other matrices.

We believe the unique properties of graphene and graphene nanoplatelets will enable numerous new product applications and the market for such products will quickly grow to be a significant market opportunity. Our business model is to design, manufacture and sell advanced materials we call xGnP^® graphene nanoplatelets and value-added products incorporating xGnP^® nanoplatelets. We currently have many customers trialing our products for numerous applications, including, but not limited to lithium ion batteries, lead acid batteries, thermally conductive adhesives, composites, thermal management and heat transfer, inks and coatings, printed electronics, construction materials, cement, and in a range of other industrial uses. We believe our proprietary processes have enabled us to be a low-cost producer of high-quality, graphene nanoplatelets and value-added integrated products containing graphene nanoplatelets and that we are well positioned to address a wide range of end-use applications.

Our Customers

We sell products to customers around the world and have sold materials to over 1,500 customers in 47 countries since 2008. Some of these customers are research organizations and some are commercial organizations. Our customers have included well-known automotive and OEM suppliers around the world (Ford, Johnson Controls, Magna, Honda Engineering), global-scale lithium -ion battery manufacturers in the U.S., South Korea and China (Samsung SDI, LG Chemical, Lishen, A123) and diverse specialty material companies (3M, BASF, Henkel, Dow Chemical, DuPont), as well as leading research centers such as Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Oakridge National Laboratory. The majority of our customers are still ordering in smaller quantities consistent with their development and engineering qualification work. We expect our average order size to increase in the second half of 2020 asinto early 2021 as many of our customers have expressed their intention of beginning to order commercial quantities of product from us ~~in 2020~~.

Our Products

XG Sciences is a manufacturer of graphene nanoplatelets marketed under the brand xGnP^® and value-added products that contain graphene nanoplatelets. The term “graphene” is used widely in the literature and the popular press to cover a variety of specific forms of the material. We generally think about two broad classes of graphene materials:

One-atom thick films of carbon commonly referred to as monolayer graphene, manufactured typically from gases by assembling molecules to form relatively large, transparent sheets of material. These materials have been characterized by their performance attributes that differentiate them from other advanced materials and that may include: strength up to 200 times that of steel, flexible and able to stretch up to 25% of its original length, optically transparent, more electrically conductive than copper, more thermally conductive than any other known material and atomic-level barrier properties. XG Sciences does not manufacture these films and does not participate in the markets for these films and believes that in general, the markets for these films do not compete with those for graphene nanoplatelets.

Ultra-thin particles of carbon that consist of layers of graphene sheets ranging in thickness from a few layers to many layers – that are commonly referred to as graphene nanoplatelets (“GNP” or “GNPs”). Because GNPs are thin and can be manufactured in a range of diameters, they are useful for a wide variety of applications. XG Sciences manufactures GNPs that range in thickness from a few nanometers and up to 10-20 nanometers and with diameters ranging from less than 1 micron and up to 100 microns. The manufacture of these graphene particles is our main area of expertise, and their use in practical applications is the focus of our sales, marketing and development activities.

The well-publicized isolation and characterization of graphene in 2004 at the University of Manchester, has spawned a new class of 2Dtwo-dimensional materials based on layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal array and each carbon having lone pair electrons. The unique characterization and related performance of this new class of materials is derived from their two-dimensional nature and their composition of sp2 carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal array. The ability of any new material to be exploited in industrial applications will depend on its fit-for-performance. In the case of graphene nanoplatelets, the fit-for-performance is very much related to their aspect ratio (among other factors) in that the diameter is typically significantly greater than the thickness. This is what differentiates the material from bulk graphite of high crystallinity and purity. We classify nanoplatelets ~~consisting~~ consisting of largely basel planes of carbon atoms packed in a hexagonal array (i.e., graphene) as graphene nanoplatelets so long as their aspect ratio may be classified as two-dimension and are thus in the form of platelets. Such a definition implies that the thickness is nanoscale – GNPs having a thickness in the range from generally 0.6 nanometers and up to many 10’s of nanometers. For context one nanometer is one billionth of a meter, and the average thickness of a human hair is about 75,000 nanometers. We have chosen to utilize the definitions as set out by the Carbon Journal editorial team (Carbon, volume 65, pp.1-6) and Fullerex (~~Bulk~~The Graphene ~~Pricing~~ Report, ~~2019~~March 2020 Edition, the Graphene Council) which provides classification for the various material types which provide meaningful descriptions of commercially available graphene.

2-5	Few Layer Graphene (FLG)

>10	Graphene Nanoplatelets (~~GNP~~GNPs)

Bulk Materials. We sell bulk materials under the trademarked brand name of xGnP^®graphene nanoplatelets. These materials are produced in various grades, which are analogous to average particle thickness, and average particle diameters. There are three commercial grades (Grades H, M & R), each of which is offered in three standard particle sizes and a fourth, Grade C, which is offered in three standard surface areas. We also have access to other development grades (Grade T, for example), but which are not yet made available commercially and have been used internally for those products containing graphene nanoplatelets. These bulk materials, which normally ship in the form of a dry powder, are especially applicable for use as additives in polymeric or metallic composites, or in coatings or other formulations where particular electrical, thermal or barrier applications are desired by our customers. We also offer our material in the form of dispersions of nanoplatelets in liquids such as water, alcohol, or organic solvents, or mixed into resins or polymers such as thermoplastics or thermosets. We use two different commercial processes to produce these bulk materials:

Grade H/M/R/T materials are produced through chemical intercalation of natural graphite followed by thermal exfoliation using a proprietary process developed by us. The “grade” designates the thickness and surface characteristics of the material, and each grade is available in various average particle diameters. Surface area, calculated by the Brunauer, Emmet, and Teller (BET) Method, is used as a convenient proxy for thickness, so each grade of products produced through chemical intercalation is designated by its average surface area, which ranges from 50 to 150 m2/gram of material. We are able to extend the surface area higher (250 m2/gram for T Grade) but are not yet producing these materials in metric-ton quantities. As the market need emerges for this class of materials, we will scale them as needed. For example, we introduced a new Grade of xGnP® powders, R-Grade, with improved electrical conductivity targeting use in applications for electrically and thermally conductive ink and composites and have scaled R-Grade to metric-ton quantities. 20

XG Sciences’ Graphene Nanoplatelet Product Portfolio and Versus Graphite

(GRAPHIC)

Composites. These consist of compositions of specially designed xGnP® graphene nanoplatelets formulated in pre-dispersed mixtures that can be easily incorporated in various polymers. Our integrated composites portfolio includes pre-compounded resins derived from a range of thermoplastics as well as master batches of resins and xGnP® nanoplatelets and their combination with resins and fibers for use in various end-use applications that may include industrial, automotive, packaging and sporting goods and which have demonstrated efficacy in standard injection molding, compression molding, blow molding and 3-D processes, to name but a few. Our current product portfolio of polymer resins containing various forms of our xGnP® graphene nanoplatelets and in varying concentration includes polyurethane (XGPU), polypropylene (XGPP™), polyethylene terephthalate (XGPET™), nylon (XGNylon)and high-density polyethylene (XGHDPE™). Others polymers may be added over time depending on the end-market and customer needs. In addition, we offer various bulk materials with demonstrated efficacy in plastic composites to impart improved physical performance to such matrices, which may be supplied as dry powders or as aqueous or solvent-based dispersions or cakes as described above. We have also targeted use of our graphene nanoplatelets as an additive in cement mixtures, which we believe results in improved barrier resistance, durability, toughness and corrosion protection. Our XGConcrete™ Additive promotes the formation of more uniform and smaller grain structure in cement. This fine-grain and uniform structure gives the concrete improvements in flexural and compressive strength. In addition, the embedded graphene nanoplatelets will stop cracks from forming and retard crack propagation, should any cracks form – the combination of which will improve lifetime and durability of cement.21

Inks and Coatings. These consist of specially-formulated dispersions of xGnP^®together with solvents, binders, and other additives to make electrically or thermally conductive products designed for printing or coating and which are showing promise in diverse customer applications such as advanced packaging, electrostatic dissipation and thermal management. We also offer a set of standardized ink formulations suitable for printing. These inks offer the capability to print electrical circuits or antennas and may be suitable for other electrical or thermal applications. All of these formulations can be customized for specific customer requirements.

Energy Storage Materials. These consist of specialty advanced materials that have been formulated for specific applications in the energy storage segment. We offer various bulk materials for use as conductive additives for cathodes and anodes in lithium-ion batteries, as an additive to anode slurries for lead-carbon batteries, as a component in coatings for current collectors in lithium-ion batteries and we are investigating the use of our materials as part of other battery components.

Thermal Management Materials. These consist mainly of various thermal interface materials (“TIM”) in the form of custom greases or pastes. Our custom XG TIM^®greases and pastes are also designed to be used in various high temperature environments. Additionally, we offer various bulk materials for use as active components in adhesives, liquids, coatings and plastic composites to impart improved thermal management performance to such matrices.

Our Focus Areas

We believe we are a “platform play” in advanced materials, because our proprietary manufacturing processes allow us to produce varying grades of graphene nanoplatelets that can be mapped to a variety of applications and in many market segments. However, we are prioritizing our efforts in specific areas and with specific customers that we believe represent opportunities for either relatively near-term revenue or especially large and attractive markets. At this time, we are focused on four key vertical markets: Automotive, Sporting Goods, Packaging and Industrial. The following graphic provides examples of target applications within each of the four key verticals where XG Sciences has either commercial sales or is in development with one or more customers.

XGS Market/Application Focus Areas

(GRAPHIC)

Addressable Markets

The markets for our materials are large and growing. As one example, the 2019 North American packaging market for plastic bottles and containers is estimated to be more than $34 billion (Mordor Intelligence). Further, Mordor estimates the 2019 global market for PET water bottles at 543.8 billion units. XG Sciences is engaged in the supply of xGnP® graphene nanoplatelets for use in water bottles manufactured initially in North America and we are expanding our market activities into other geographies. If each water bottle produced in 2019 were to incorporate just 1 milligram of xGnP® graphene nanoplatelets, the total revenue available to XG Sciences may range from $200 to $300 million, depending on product form. As a second example, the 2019 Global market for rubber used in tires is estimated at 30 million metric tons (European Rubber Journal, January 9, 2019 and according to the International Rubber Study Group). Graphene ~~nanoplates~~nanoplatelets have been shown to provide performance improvements when incorporated into tires. If graphene nanoplatelets were used in just 1 weight percent of all rubber used in tires, and used in only 20% of the available tire market, then there would exist a total global market for use of graphene nanoplatelets in tires of 60,000 metric tons on a dry powder basis.

Commercialization Process

Because graphene is a new material, most of our customers are still developing applications that use our products. Commercialization is a process, the exact timing of which is often difficult to predict. It starts with our own internal R&D to validate performance for an identified market or customer-specific need. Our customers then validate the performance of our materials and determine whether our products can be incorporated into their manufacturing processes. This is initially done at pilot production scale levels. Our customers then have to introduce products that incorporate our materials to their own customers to validate performance. After their customers have validated performance, our customers will then move to commercial scale production. Every customer goes through the same process, but will do so at varying speeds, depending on the customer, the product application and the end-use market. Thus, we are not always able to predict when our customers will begin ordering commercial volumes of our materials or predict their expected volumes over time. However, as customers move through the process, we generally receive feedback and gain greater insights regarding their commercialization plans. According to our respective customers, the following are examples where our products are providing value to our customers at levels that are either in commercial production or we believe will warrant their use on a commercial basis.

· In 2018, Callaway Golf Company introduced new dual-core Chrome Soft and Chrome Soft X golf balls incorporating our xGnP® graphene nanoplatelets into the outer core, resulting in a new class of golf ball that enables higher driving speeds, greater distance and increased control, allowing Calloway to command a premium price for their golf balls in the marketplace. In2019, Callaway expanded the use of our technology to incorporate our xGnP® into the ERC Soft line of golf balls. In 2020, Callaway continued to use our products in the newly launch Chrome Soft line of golf balls. The 2020 version of the Chrome Soft X is based on a solid core, which no longer benefited from use of our products;23

Several customers are currently in initial scale production using our products for applications including resistive heating, additives for use in the oil and gas industry, coatings to improve load-bearing and thermal conductivity, chemical resistance and barrier. We expect that demand for our products will grow as new applications gain market momentum.

The process of “designing-in” new materials is relatively complex and involves the use of relatively small amounts of the new material in laboratory and engineering development for an extended period of time. Following successful development, customers that incorporate our materials into their products will then order much larger quantities of material to support commercial production. Although, our customers are under no obligation to report to us on the usage of our materials, some have indicated that they have introduced or will soon introduce commercial products that use our materials. Thus, while many of our customers are currently purchasing our materials in kilogram (one or two pound) quantities, some are now ordering at multiple ton quantities and we believe many will require tens of tons or even hundreds of tons of material as they commercialize products that incorporate our materials. We also believe that those customers already in production will increase their order volume as demand increases and others will begin to move into commercial volume production as they gain more experience in working with our materials and engage new customers.

Commercialization Trends

We are tracking the commercial and development status of more than 75 different customer applications using our materials with some customers pursuing multiple applications. As of March 31, 2020, we had twenty (20) specific customer applications where our materials are incorporated into our customers’ products and such customers are actively selling these products to their own customers. In addition, we have another nineteen (19) customer applications where our customers have indicated that they expect to begin shipping product incorporating our materials in the next 3 – 6 months and have another twenty-two (22) customer applications where our customers have indicated an intent to commercialize in the next 6 – 9 months. We are also working with numerous additional customers that have not yet indicated an exact date for commercialization, but we believe have the potential to contribute to meaningful revenue in 2020. The following graphic demonstrates the commercialization trends over the past 8 fiscal quarters as an increasing number of customers indicate their intent to commercialize applications and move into actively selling or promoting products for future sales. We experienced an impact from the coronavirus pandemic during the quarter with several customers pushing out the timing for commercial adoption. This is reflected in the reduction in the number of customers indicating their intent to commercialize in the next 6-9 months. Also, we experienced a reduction in the number of “commercial” customers as some customers previously promoting their products to their customers suspended their marketing efforts until such time as overall market conditions are more favorable. We anticipate we may continue and see customer delays over the next several quarters due to COVID-19.

(a) Customer applications where our materials are used in customer products and they are actively selling them to their customers.

(b) Customer applications where our customers are indicating that they expect to begin shipping products incorporating our materials in the next 3-6 months.

In addition to the above, there are many additional customers demonstrating efficacy and moving through the qualification process.

Manufacturing Capacity

We completed the first phase of expansion in our newest 64,000 square-foot facility in the first half of 2018. The expansion has added 90 metric tons of graphene nanoplatelet production capacity, bringing the total capacity of the facility up to approximately 180 metric tons of dry powder. Phase two of the expansion was partially complete by year-end 2018 and resulted in up to ~270 metric tons of total graphene nanoplatelet output capacity at the facility. We completed the last portion of this phase two expansion in the second half of 2019, resulting in up to ~400 metric tons of total graphene nanoplatelet output capacity. Our total graphene nanoplatelet output capacity across both of our manufacturing facilities, as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, is an approximate 450 metric tons per year on a dry powder basis. The expansions support our mission to continue commercializing the use of graphene in customer products across diverse industries. XG’s increasing capacity will support our expected growth in demand for our products over the next several fiscal quarters. However, additional manufacturing capabilities for certain value-added products and certain bulk materials remain to be developed and may require the acquisition of additional facilities. In particular, the production processes for certain integrated products will require additional capital and may require additional facilities to meet expected future customer demand.

Some of the Company’s products are new products that have not yet been fully developed and for which manufacturing operations have not yet been fully scaled. Although we believe we will continue to scale our production capability, we have not yet demonstrated the capability to produce sufficient materials to generate the ongoing revenues necessary to sustain our operations in the long-term.

Under a previous version of the Licensing Agreement, we also awarded a small amount of common stock to MSU. As of June 30, 2020, the following technologies were included in the MSU License Agreements with XGS: U.S. Patent 7,550,529, U.S. Patent 8,501,858, U.S. Patent 8,834,959, U.S. Patent 9,080,122 and U.S. Patent 9,776,874. On August 8, 2016, we signed an agreement acquiring an exclusive license with Metna Co. (Metna) to Metna’s background IP for use of graphene nanoplatelets as additives to concrete mixtures. For purposes of the agreement, Metna’s background IP relates to the U.S. Patent 8,951,343. Also, on August 8, 2016, we entered into a second agreement for an exclusive license related to all Metna’s background technology and foreground technology, including any jointly-owned foreground technology where the end use is known to be any graphite additive dispersed in concrete mixtures. On April 25, 2019 we signed an Intellectual Property License, Joint Development and Commercialization Agreement with Niagara Bottling acquiring exclusive license to certain of Niagara’s patents and applications relating to the use of graphene nanoplatelets in packaging applications. For purposes of the agreement, Niagara’s IP relates to five (5) U.S. patents and patent applications and two (2) international applications and future registered intellectual property directed at the field. Over time, our scientists and engineers have made many further discoveries and inventions that are embodied in the form of (and as of June 30, 2020): nineteen (19) additional U.S. patents, twenty-five (25) foreign patents, eleven (11) additional U.S. patent applications and numerous trade secrets. For many of the applications filed in the U.S., additional filings are made in other countries such as the European Union, Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan or other applicable countries. As of June 30, 2020, we maintained fourteen (14) international patent applications. These filings and analyses are made on a case-by-case basis. Typically, patents that are defensive in nature are not filed abroad, while those that are protective of active XGS products or applications are filed in relevant countries abroad. Our general IP strategy is to keep as trade secrets those manufacturing processes that are difficult to enforce should they be disclosed and to seek patent coverage for other manufacturing processes, materials derived from those processes, unique combinations of materials and end uses of materials containing graphene nanoplatelets. We believe that the combination of our rights under various licenses, our patents and patent applications, and our trade secrets create a strong intellectual property position.

~~Our Intellectual Property~~25

Some of our proprietary manufacturing processes were developed at Michigan State University (MSU) and licensed to us in 2006. We license two U.S. patents from MSU. On August 8, 2016, we signed an agreement acquiring an exclusive license with Metna Co. (Meta) to Metna’s background IP for use of graphene nanoplatelets as additives to concrete mixtures. For purposes of the agreement, Metna’s background IP relates to the U.S. Patent 8,951,343. Also, on August 8, 2016, we entered into a second agreement for an exclusive license related to all Metna’s background technology and foreground technology, including any jointly-owned foreground technology where the end use is known to be any graphite additive dispersed in concrete mixtures.

For purposes of the agreement, Niagara’s IP relates to five (5) U.S. patents and patent applications and two (2) international applications and future registered intellectual property directed at the field. Over time, our scientists and engineers have made many further discoveries and inventions that are embodied in the form of (and as of March 31, 2020): eighteen (18) additional U.S. patents, twenty-three (23) foreign patents, thirteen (13) additional U.S. patent applications and numerous trade secrets. For many of the applications filed in the U.S., additional filings are made in other countries such as the European Union, Japan, South Korea, China, Taiwan or other applicable countries. As of March 31, 2020, we maintained fifteen (15) international patent applications. These filings and analyses are made on a case-by-case basis. Typically, patents that are defensive in nature are not filed abroad, while those that are protective of active XGS products or applications are filed in relevant countries abroad. Our general IP strategy is to keep as trade secrets those manufacturing processes that are difficult to enforce should they be disclosed and to seek patent coverage for other manufacturing processes, materials derived from those processes, unique combinations of materials and end uses of materials containing graphene nanoplatelets. We believe that the combination of our rights under various licenses, our patents and patent applications, and our trade secrets create a strong intellectual property position.

Operating Segment

We have one reportable operating segment that manufactures xGnP® graphene nanoplatelets and value-added products produced therefrom, conducts research on graphene nanoplatelets and related products, and licenses our technology as appropriate. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, we shipped products on a worldwide basis, however, all of our assets were located within the United States.

Revenue

For the three months ending March 31, 2020 we reported revenue of $167,063, a 17.7% increase from the $141,962 reported in the immediately prior three-month period ending on December 31, 2019 and an 80.5% decrease from the $857,913 reported for the three months ending March 31, 2019. Since we are in the business of developing new materials and for use in new ways, accurately forecasting new product adoption can be a challenge for our customers. Accordingly, our business is subject to the vagaries of unpredictable demand and inaccurate forecasts and is as seen in our first quarter, year-on-year decrease in revenue. The $690,850 decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the comparable period in the prior year, is primarily due to three customers who purchased $774,176 of our products in the first quarter of 2019 who did not purchase any products in the first quarter of 2020 All three of these customers are still using our products in production, but given the newness of our products, demand for their products incorporating our products is also unpredictable. We believe these customers will continue to ship their products incorporating our material and we expect they will resume purchasing our products at historical levels in the next few quarters. Another customer purchased $38,700 of our products in the first three months of 2019 and $83,172 in the first three months of 2020, or an increase of 115%. We have a very strong customer pipeline and continue to establish a robust baseline of customers who are nearing commercial status. We believe that once these customers reach commercial status with products that incorporate our products, each will begin to order from us on a regular basis, which will help to mitigate the quarter to quarter revenue variability. However, until such time, we expect to see variations in quarterly revenue resulting from variable order patterns from our customers.

For the three months ending June 30, 2020 we reported revenue of $81,146, a 67.2% decrease from the $247,069 reported for the three months ending June 30, 2019. Since we are in the business of developing new materials and for use in new ways, accurately forecasting new product adoption can be a challenge for our customers. The second quarter year-on-year decrease is due primarily to the vagaries of unpredictable demand and inaccurate forecasts. Also, many of our customers were impacted by COVID-19 in the second quarter and either delayed commercial adoption of our products or did not order replenishment products. For the six months ending June 30, 2020 we reported revenue of $248,209, a 77.5% decrease from the $1,104,346 reported for the six months ending June 30, 2019. We have a strong customer pipeline and continue to establish a robust baseline of customers who are nearing commercial status. We believe that once these customers reach commercial status with products that incorporate our products, each will begin to order from us on a regular basis, which will help to mitigate the quarter-to-quarter revenue variability. However, until such time, we expect to see variations in quarterly revenue resulting from variable order patterns from our customers.

Product sales consist of two broad categories: (1) material sold to customers for research or development purposes; and (2) production orders for customers. Typically, the order sizes for the first category are relatively small, however we expect orders in the second category to be much larger in the future. In addition, other customers are moving through development programs towards commercialization, requiring larger quantities of our materials for advanced testing, pilot production and commercial-scale production activities. We believe that those customers already in production will increase their order volume as demand increases and others will begin to move into commercial volume production as they gain more experience in working with our materials and engage their own customers.

We ship our products from our ~~Lansing,~~Michigan MI manufacturing facilities to customers around the world. During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, we shipped materials to customers in 1614 countries, as compared to 13 countries during the same period in 2019. For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, sales to two countries, ~~South~~Switzerland ~~Korea~~ and ~~Switzerland~~Turkey, accounted for more than 1042% of revenue. For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2019, shipments to South Korea accounted for more than 10% of product sales.

Order Summary

The table below shows a comparison of domestic and international orders fulfilled (excluding orders for free samples). The table also includes the average order size for product sales. The average order size for product revenue during the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020 decreased by 8587%, as compared to the same period in 2019. The relatively small average order size means that the majority of our customer base remains active with research and development projects that only use limited amounts of our material. We expect our average order size to increase significantly as more customers reach commercial status.

Cost of Goods Sold

We use a standard cost system to estimate the direct costs of products sold. Variances between the standard costs and the actual costs are then properly capitalized to the inventories and expensed to cost of goods sold. Direct costs include estimates of raw material costs, packaging, freight charges net of those billed to customers, and an allocation for direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Because of the nature of our production processes, there is a substantial fixed manufacturing expense requirement that represents the ongoing cost of maintaining production facilities that are not directly related to products sold, so we use a “full capacity” allocation of overhead based on an estimate of what product costs would be if the manufacturing facilities were operating on a full-time basis and producing products at the designed capacity.

23The following table shows the relationship of direct costs to product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:

The following table shows the relationship of direct costs to product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019:

We believe that the fluctuations in gross loss on product sales and direct cost from period to period are not indicative of future margins because of the relatively small size of our sales in comparison to our future expectations. Direct costs vary depending on the size of an order, the specific products being ordered, and other factors like shipping destination (which on small orders can represent a significant percentage of the cost).

The remaining “non-direct” costs of operating our manufacturing facilities are recorded as unallocated manufacturing expenses. These expenses include personnel costs, rent, utilities, indirect supplies, depreciation, and related indirect expenses. Unallocated manufacturing expenses are expensed as incurred. We allocate these costs to direct product costs based on the proportion of these expenses that would be representative of direct product costs if we were operating our factory at full capacity.

For the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, unallocated manufacturing expenses ~~increased~~decreased by 3331.52% to $~~658~~412,~~913~~802 as compared to $~~493~~599,~~469~~745 for the same period in 2019. The ~~increase~~decrease of $~~165~~186,~~444~~943 is largely due to ~~fixed~~furloughs ~~overhead~~and ~~cost~~headcount ~~not~~reductions ~~being~~as ~~allocated~~well toas ~~finished~~lower ~~goods~~variable overhead costs due to ~~capacity~~the ~~underutilization~~discontinuance of production at the Legion Drive site in late June of 2019 until sales rebound.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, we incurred selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $1,~~292~~076,~~136~~265. This is a decrease of $~~128~~410,~~787~~115 or 927.16% from the same period in 2019. This decrease in SG&A expense is primarily related to decreased personnel costs as the Company began taking measures in anticipation of slower demand and delays in customer adoption caused by COVID-19.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2020, we incurred research and development expenses (R&D) of $~~285~~184,~~727~~527. This is a decrease of $99200,~~518~~240 or ~~25.8~~52% from the same period in 2019.

Fair Value Measurements

ASB ASC 820: “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 which are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our derivative liabilities are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy because they were valued using other unobservable inputs. The valuation technique used to measure fair value of the derivative liabilities is based on a lattice model with significant assumptions and inputs determined by the Company. A lattice model was used to estimate the fair value of the derivative liabilities because management believes it reflects all of the assumptions that market participants would likely consider including early exercise of the warrants. The fair value of the derivative liabilities will be significantly influenced by the fair value of our common stock, stock price volatility and the risk-free interest components of the lattice technique.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risk. The terms of the Unit Offering issued April 23, 2020 were reviewed to determine whether or not they contain embedded derivative instruments that are required by ASC 815: “Derivatives and Hedging” to be accounted for separately from the host contract and recorded at fair value. The anti-dilution provision of the Series B Preferred Stock, the redemption rights, the conversion rights and the participation rights issued with the Unit Offering met the conditions to be accounted for separately from the host contract and are classified as derivative instrument liabilities measured at fair value. The fair values of these derivative liabilities are revalued at each reporting date, with the change in fair value recognized in earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

Liquidity

We have historically incurred ~~recurring~~ losses from operations, and we may continue to generate negative cash flows as we implement our business plan. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“~~US GAAP”) as applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

~~In December~~As ~~2016, we entered into a Draw Loan Note and Agreement with The Dow Chemical Company (the “Dow Facility”) to provide up to $10 million~~ of ~~secured~~May ~~debt financing at an interest rate of 5% per year~~17, ~~drawable at our request under certain conditions.

In late March / early April of 2020, we applied for relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) by submitting an application with the Small Business Administration (SBA) for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) and by submitting an application to an SBA lender bank, PNC, for a Paycheck Protection Plan (“PPP”) loan. On April 18, 2020, we received an approved and fully executed PPP Term Note for $825,200 with a term of two years, a six-month repayment deferral period, and an annual rate of interest of 1%, with a potential for some or all of the loan to be forgiven, dependent upon use of the loan proceeds. On April 20, 2020, we received the $825,200 under the PPP loan. On May 17, 2020, the SBA issued us a decline letter for the EIDL for which we have requested reconsideration.29

On April 23, 2020, we entered into an amended and restated Draw Loan Note and Agreement and related transaction documents (collectively, the “Amended Dow Facility”) with the Dow Chemical Company to amend the terms of our current loan facility to allow us to structure a private placement of units (“Units”) comprised (in part) of subordinated, secured convertible notes (“Convertible Notes” and such offering, the “Unit Offering”), to support ongoing cash needs. In the Amended Dow Facility, the Company and Dow agreed to 1) extend the term of such loan facility by two years to December 1, 2023, 2) significantly reduce any required prepayment to Dow from the proceeds of new equity or equity-linked financings from the current 30-50% prepayment requirement on the pre-existing Dow Facility to a 10% prepayment requirement in the Amended Dow Facility, which does not begin until after we have raised an additional $7 million in equity or equity-linked capital from the date of the amendment, 3) capitalize all interest payable until such time as we have recorded GAAP revenue of at least $2 million for two consecutive calendar quarters, 4) increase the rate of interest to 6.5% per annum from 5.0% onin the pre-existing Dow Facility, and 5) allow ~~for~~ for a subordinated security interest to be granted to new investors in the Unit Offering.

If and when we raise at least $15 million of equity capital (excluding capital raised in this Unit Offering), the Convertible Notes will be automatically converted into whichever of the following equity securities would result in the greatest number of shares of Common Stock being issued to the holders on an “as-if-converted” basis at such time: (i) Series B Preferred Stock at a note conversion price of $8.00/share; or (ii) Subsequent Stock at a note conversion price per share equal to 80% of the purchase price per share at which such Subsequent Stock is sold (or if the value per share is fixed, ~~120~~125% of the number of shares that might otherwise be issuable); provided, however, in the event the Company raises at least $15 million of equity capital within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the first issue date of Convertible Notes, such percentages will be changed to 90% of the purchase price per share at which such Subsequent Stock is sold (or, if the value per share is fixed, 110% of the number of shares that might otherwise be issuable).

~~As of June 10, 2020, we had cash on hand of $969,716.~~ Taking into consideration our current cash on hand, we estimate that we will need to raise approximately $500,000 - $1,000,000 of additional capital ~~in order~~ to continue our operations for the next twelve months in a minimal to no revenue growth environment.
