NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-UNAUDITED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
1. | Basis of Presentation |
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
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, additional cash infusion. As discussed in Note 3, the Company has obtained funds from its shareholders since its’ inception through September 30, 2008. 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 Biosolar, 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 is in its initial stages of formation and has insignificant revenues. FASB #7 defines a development stage activity as one in which all efforts are devoted substantially to establishing a new business and even if planned principal operations have commenced, revenues are insignificant.
Revenue Recognition
The Company will recognize revenue when services are performed, and at the time of shipment of products, 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. To date, the Company has had no revenues and is in the development stage.
Cash and Cash Equivalent
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Investments
Certificate of Deposits with banking institutions are short-term investments with initial maturities of more than 90 days. The carrying amount of these investments is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
Loss per Share Calculations
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128 for the calculation of “Loss per Share”. SFAS No. 128 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. The Company’s diluted loss per share is the same as the basic loss per share for the period ended September 30, 2008 as the inclusion of any potential shares would have had an anti-dilutive effect due to the Company generating a loss.
Reclassification
The expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were reclassified to conform with the expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
3. | CAPITAL STOCK |
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 1,560,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.25 per share for cash in the amount of $390,000, through a private placement made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s issued 300,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.20 per share for cash in the amount of $60,000, through a private placement made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; the Company also issued 240,000 shares of common stock for services at prices between $0.26 and $0.54 per share.
4. | INCOME TAXES |
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and the state of California. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005. |
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. Deferred income taxes have been provided by temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. To the extent allowed by GAAP, we provide valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets for amounts when the realization is uncertain. |
Included in the balance at September 30, 2008, are no tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. |
The Company's policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. |
5. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
During October 2008, the Company issued 100,000 shares of common stock for $0.25 per share in the amount of $25,000 for services, pursuant to a private placement made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue," the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. All statements other than statements of historical fact made in this report are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. Because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, risks associated with the integration of businesses following an acquisition, competitors with broader product lines and greater resources, emergence into new markets, the termination of any of our significant contracts, our inability to maintain working capital requirements to fund future operations, or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified management, technical and sales personnel.
Overview
We are developing an innovative technology to produce bio-based materials from renewable plant sources that will reduce the cost per watt of Photovoltaic solar cells. Most of the solar industry is focused on photovoltaic efficiency to reduce cost, but we are introducing a new dimension of cost reduction by replacing petroleum-based plastic solar cell components with durable bio-based plastics. The process for producing electricity from sunlight is known as Photovoltaics. Photovoltaic ("PV") is the science of capturing and converting sun light into electricity.
We are focusing our research and product development efforts on producing bio-based components that meet the thermal and durability requirements of current solar cell manufacturing processes for conventional crystalline cell designs as well as thin film PV devices in an effort to capitalize on what we perceive as cost advantages to current petroleum based solar cell components.
We are focusing our research and product development efforts on bio-based backsheets, substrates, superstrates, module, panel components, and the eventual expansion of such products to the building materials.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 24, 2006, as BioSolar Labs, Inc. Our name was changed to BioSolar, Inc. on June 8, 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 27936 Lost Canyon Road, Suite 202, Santa Clarita, California 91387, and our telephone number is (661) 251-0001. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
Application of 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.
10
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, collectibility 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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued two FASB Staff Positions - FSP FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, and FSP FAS 109-2 Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. Neither of these affected us as it does not participate in the related activities.
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections.” This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and represents another step in the FASB’s goal to converge its standards with those issued by the IASB. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a “restatement.” The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. We have evaluated the impact of the adoption of Statement 154 and do not believe the impact will be significant to our overall results of operations or financial position.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2008 COMPARED TO THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
OPERATING EXPENSES
Selling and Marketing Expenses
Selling and marketing (“S&M”) expenses increased by $74,184 or 190.78%, to $113,068 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. S&M expenses increased by $207,693 or 359.16%, to $265,521 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. S&M expenses increased due to an increase in marketing exposure.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased by $23,669 or 24.71%, to $119,459 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. G&A expenses increased by $113,804 or 44.35%, to $370,422 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. This increase in G&A expenses was the result of an increase in salaries, professional fees and travel.
Research and Development
Research and Development (“R&D”) expenses decreased by $(1,482) or (2.93)%, to $49,138 for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. R&D expenses decreased by $(33,279) or (22.09)%, to $117,346 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. This decrease in R&D expenses was the result of a decrease in consulting fees and the Company’s focus on production..
Net Loss
Our net loss increased by $(103,012) to $(279,231) for the three months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. Net loss increased by $(304,650) to $(739,122) for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, compared to the prior period. Currently the Company is in its development stage and had no revenues.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2008, we had $643,064 of working capital as compared to $1,064,077 as of December 31, 2007. This decrease of $421,012 was due primarily to use of funds for operating activities.
Net cash used in operating activities was $705,129 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to cash used of $482,025 for the prior period. This increase of $223,104 was primarily attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $110,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, as compared to cash provided of $369,401 for the prior period. The decrease of cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to a decrease in investing in certificate of deposits. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, the Company purchased equipment.
Net cash provided from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and 2007 was $390,000 and $60,000 respectively. The increase in cash provided from financing activities was due to equity financing completed by the Company pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FINANCING NEEDS
We are engaged in the development of new and innovative technology to produce bio-based materials with the intent to reduce the cost per watt of solar cells that convert sun light into electrical energy. We plan to develop bio-based backsheets, substrates, superstrate layer, module, panel components, and thereafter focus our efforts on establishing markets in the building materials.
12
Our plan of operation within the next twelve months is to utilize our cash balances to transition from research and development stage to a production stage for the bio-based plastic backsheets and substrates to reduce the cost of solar cells that convert sun light into electrical energy. In addition, during the next twelve months we plan to accelerate the development activity for other solar cell components, commence a test program to determine the physical properties and characteristics that will be most suitable for commercially available solar cell devices, and build prototype solar cells, as we attempt to validate the commercial viability of additional bio-based solar cell components. We believe that our current cash and investment balances will be sufficient to support development activity and general and administrative expenses for the next nine months. Management estimates that it will require additional cash resources during 2009, based upon its current operating plan and condition. We will be investigating additional financing alternatives, including equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that capital in any form would be available to us, and if available, on terms and conditions that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funds during the next twelve months, we may be forced to reduce the size of our organization, which could have a material adverse impact on, or cause us to curtail and/or cease, the development of our products.
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.

There was no change to our internal controls or in other factors that could affect these controls during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
