NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED
JUNE 30, 2012
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company does not generate significant revenue, and has negative cash flows from operations, which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among other things, an additional cash infusion. The Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its inception through June 30, 2012. It is Management's plan to generate additional working capital from investors, and then continue to pursue its business plan and purposes.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Solar3D, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Development Stage Activities and Operations
The Company has been in its initial stages of formation and for the six months ended June 30, 2012, had no revenues. A development stage activity is one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
Share based payments applies to transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, and also applies to liabilities an entity may incur for goods or services that are to follow a fair value of those equity instruments. We will be required to follow a fair value approach using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes option valuation model, at the date of a stock option grant. The deferred compensation calculated under the fair value method would then be amortized over the respective vesting period of the stock option. The adoption of share based compensation has no material impact on our results of operations.
Loss per Share Calculations
Loss per Share dictates the calculation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. No shares for employee options or warrants were used in the calculation of the loss per share as they were all anti-dilutive. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.

JUNE 30, 2012
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue upon delivery, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title, and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. We record revenue net of estimated product returns, which is based upon our return policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and historical experience. We accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on our experience, which tells us we have less than $25,000 per year in warranty returns and allowances. Generally, we extend credit to our customers and do not require collateral. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and historic credit losses have been within our expectations. We do not ship a product until we have either a purchase agreement or rental agreement signed by the customer with a payment arrangement. This is a critical policy, because we want our accountings to show only sales which are “final” with a payment arrangement. We do not make consignment sales or inventory sales subject to a “buy back” or return arrangement from customers. Accordingly, original equipment manufacturers do not presently have a right to return unsold products to us.
We also grant exclusive licenses for the use of the technology required to operate our products. Software license revenue is recognized over the contract period, for those contracts that either do not contain a service component or that have services which are not essential to the functionality of any other element of the contract.
Recently adopted pronouncements
Management reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and no pronouncements were adopted during the period.
3. CAPITAL STOCK AND WARRANTS

The Company also received funds in the amount of $12,500 for a subscription payable to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock.
4. STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
During the year ended December 31, 2010, in consideration for services as a director of the Company, the Board of Directors issued to Mr. Nelson a nonqualified stock option to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The stock options were granted on July 22, 2010 and vest 1/36th per month commencing on a monthly basis as of August 1, 2010, for as long as he is an employee or consultant of the Company. The stock options are exercisable for a period of seven years from the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.05 per share, as adjusted for the five for one reverse split of the Company’s common stock. The Company determined the fair market value of these options by using the Black Scholes option valuation model with the following significant assumptions:
| Risk free interest rate | 2.38 | % | ||
| Stock volatility factor | 229 | % | ||
| Weighted average expected option life | 7 years | |||
| Expected dividend yield | None | |||

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Cautionary Statements
This Form 10-Q contains financial projections and other “forward-looking statements,” as that term is used in federal securities laws, about Solar3D, Inc.’s (“Solar3D,” “we,” “us,” or the “Company”) financial condition, results of operations and business. These statements include, among others: statements concerning the potential for revenues and expenses and other matters that are not historical facts. These statements may be made expressly in this Form 10-Q. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” or similar expressions used in this Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the Company in those statements. The most important facts that could prevent the Company from achieving its stated goals include, but are not limited to, the following:
| (a) | inability to complete research and development of the new Solar3D technology with little or no current revenue; |
| (b) | volatility or decline of the Company’s stock price; |
| (c) | potential fluctuation in quarterly results; |
| (d) | failure of the Company to earn revenues or profits; |
| (e) | inadequate capital to continue business; |
| (f) | barriers to raising the additional capital or to obtaining the financing needed to implement its business plans; |
| (g) | lack of demand for the Company’s products and services; |
| (h) | rapid and significant changes in markets; |
| (i) | litigation with or legal claims and allegations by outside parties; |
| (j) | insufficient revenues to cover operating costs; |
| (k) | inability to start or acquire new businesses, or lack of success of new businesses started or acquired by the Company, if any; |
| (l) | inability to effectively develop or commercialize our new Solar3D technology; and |

Overview
On August 5, 2010, the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Company voted by written consent to (1) effect a one-for-five reverse stock split, and (2) change the name of the Company to Solar 3D, Inc. Our new business focus is centered on the acquisition, development, and commercialization of new proprietary technology to significantly increase the efficiency and energy production of solar photovoltaic cells that are currently offered in the market and that may be developed in the future. In furtherance of our new business focus, we recently applied for patents covering a novel six-dimensional solar cell technology that is designed to maximize the conversion of sunlight into electricity. We believe our new technology will dramatically increase the efficiency of solar cells.
Almost all conventional solar cells have a two-dimensional design where up to 30 percent of incident is sunlight reflected off of each solar cell’s surface and more light energy absorbed and lost inside the solar cell materials than is converted into energy. By contrast, our Solar3D design uses a matrix of light-collecting elements that guide sunlight into a corresponding array of six-dimensional, micro-photovoltaic structures. The sunlight, in the form of photons, is trapped among these micro-structures, where it bounces around until virtually all of the energy is converted into electricity. Solar3D aims to create a better solar cell using this innovative technique by eliminating surface reflection and maximizing the conversion of photons into electrons to achieve greater efficiency and a lower cost per watt.
We currently have two full time employees, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer. We also retain the services of several research consultants who are responsible for product development and a receptionist/secretary who oversees bookkeeping and office coordination.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, deferred tax assets and fair value computation using the Black Scholes option pricing model. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, such as the trading value of our common stock and estimated future undiscounted cash flows, that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above-described items, are reasonable.
Use of Estimates
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management utilizes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions relate to recording net revenue, collectability of accounts receivable, useful lives and impairment of tangible and intangible assets, accruals, income taxes, inventory realization, stock-based compensation expense and other factors. Management believes it has exercised reasonable judgment in deriving these estimates. Consequently, a change in conditions could affect these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our cash, cash equivalents, investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable are stated at cost which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Revenue Recognition
We will continue to recognize revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 104”). We will continue to recognize revenue upon delivery, provided that evidence of an arrangement exists, title, and risk of loss have passed to the customer, fees are fixed or determinable, and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. We will continue to record revenue net of estimated product returns, which is based upon our return policy, sales agreements, management estimates of potential future product returns related to current period revenue, current economic trends, changes in customer composition and historical experience. We will continue to accrue for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances based on our prior experience in servicing customers and products. We may extend credit to our customers based upon credit evaluations and do not require collateral. We do not and will not ship a product until we have either a purchase agreement or rental agreement signed by the customer with a payment arrangement. This is a critical policy, because we want our accounting to show only sales which are “final” with a payment arrangement. We do not and will not make consignment sales or inventory sales subject to a “buy back” or return arrangement from customers.
Provision For Sales Returns, Allowances and Bad Debts
We will continue to maintain a provision for sales allowances, returns and bad debts. Sales returns and allowances result from equipment damaged in delivery or customer dissatisfaction, as provided by agreement. The provision will continue to be provided for by reducing gross revenue by a portion of the amount invoiced during the relevant period. The amount of the reduction will continue to be estimated based on historical experience.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
REVENUE AND COST OF SALES
For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no revenue or cost of sales and is in its development stage.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $(18,465) to $283,663 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $302,128 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. SG&A expenses decreased by ($13,221) to $602,139 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $615,360 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. SG&A expenses decreased due to a decrease in investor relations expense.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development (“R&D”) costs increased by $18,487 to $45,520 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $27,033 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. R&D costs increased by $50,424 to $98,757 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $48,333 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This increase in R&D costs was the result of an increase in consulting fees related to review of the technology.
NET LOSS
Net loss increased by $(10,510) to $(385,768) for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $(375,259) for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Net loss increased by $(124,171) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $(712,455) for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in net loss was the result of a net increase in overall operating expenses. Currently, operating costs exceed revenue because sales have not yet commenced. We cannot assure when or if revenue will exceed operating costs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2012, we had a working deficit of $(220,314) as compared to a working deficit of $(5,265) at December 31, 2011. This increase in working capital deficit was due primarily to an overall increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and notes payable.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $(293,164) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to cash used of $(413,761) for the six months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease of cash used in operating activities of $(120,597) was primarily attributable to the increase in net loss plus the payment of prepaid expenses, and the increase in accounts payable, and accrued expenses.
Cash used in investing activities was $(3,213) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $(1,170) for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase of $2,043 in the use of cash in investing activities was due to higher purchases of tangible assets during the current period.
Cash provided from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $296,377 as compared to cash provided of $471,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease of $(175,123) was primarily due to an decrease in equity financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity, or capital expenditures.

Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2011. As part of such evaluation, management considered the matters discussed below relating to internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the six month period ended June 30, 2012 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
