Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, plans and objectives of management for future operations. The words "may," "continue," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "will," "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be inaccurate. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. They may be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or unknown risks and uncertainties, including the risks, uncertainties and assumptions described in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2012 and elsewhere in this report. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this report may not occur as contemplated and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied by the forward-looking statements.
You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this filing. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or otherwise.

Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(1) Background and Basis of Presentation
Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in April 1984 in New Jersey, commenced business operations in 1994 and re-incorporated in Delaware in April 2007. The Company develops and is seeking to commercialize proprietary systems that generate electricity by harnessing the renewable energy of ocean waves. The Company markets its products in the United States and internationally. Since fiscal 2002, the US Navy and other government agencies have accounted for a significant portion of the Company’s revenues. These revenues were largely for the support of product development efforts. The Company’s goal, over time, is to generate revenues from the sale of products and maintenance services to utilities and other non-government commercial customers, and to have any such revenues represent a substantial portion of its total revenues. As we continue to advance our proprietary technologies, we expect to continue to have a net decrease in cash from operating activities unless or until we achieve positive cash flow from the planned commercialization of our products and services.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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 Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year or for any other interim period. Further information on potential factors that could affect the Company's financial results can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Participation of stockholders other than the Company in the net assets and in the earnings or losses of a consolidated subsidiary is reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations, which adjusts the Company's consolidated results of operations to reflect only the Company's share of the earnings or losses of the consolidated subsidiary. As of January 31, 2013, there was one noncontrolling interest, consisting of 11.8% of the Company's Australian subsidiary, Ocean Power Technologies (Australasia) Pty. Ltd.
In addition, the Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities, and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements. As of January 31, 2013, there were no such entities.
The Company has a 10% investment in Iberdrola Energias Marinas de Cantabria, S.A. (Iberdrola Cantabria). During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company evaluated the realizability of this investment and concluded that it was impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $0.3 million representing 100% of the investment amount. In addition, outstanding receivables from Iberdrola Cantabria in the amount of $0.3 million as of April 2012 were fully reserved during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. The investment in Iberdrola Cantabria and net accounts receivable and unbilled receivables from Iberdrola Cantabria were $0 as of January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2012. See Note 9.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment and patents; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax assets; and percentage of completion of customer contracts for purposes of revenue recognition. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The current economic environment, particularly the macroeconomic pressures in certain European countries, has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Revenue Recognition
The Company’s contracts are either cost plus or fixed price contracts. Under cost plus contracts, customers are billed for actual expenses incurred plus an agreed-upon fee. Currently, the Company has two types of fixed price contracts, firm fixed price and cost-sharing. Under firm fixed price contracts, the Company receives an agreed-upon amount for providing products and services specified in the contract. Under cost-sharing contracts, the fixed amount agreed upon with the customer is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project.
Generally, the Company recognizes revenue using the percentage-of-completion method based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion. In certain circumstances, revenue under contracts that have specified milestones or other performance criteria may be recognized only when the customer acknowledges that such criteria have been satisfied. In addition, recognition of revenue (and the related costs) may be deferred for fixed-price contracts until contract completion if the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the total costs of the project prior to completion. Because the Company has a small number of contracts, revisions to the percentage-of-completion determination or delays in meeting performance criteria or in completing projects may have a significant effect on revenue for the periods involved. Upon anticipating a loss on a contract, the Company recognizes the full amount of the anticipated loss in the current period.
Under cost plus and firm fixed price contracts, a profit or loss on a project is recognized depending on whether actual costs are more or less than the agreed upon amount. Under cost sharing contracts, an amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenues, resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. The Company’s share of the costs is recorded as product development expense.
Unbilled receivables represent expenditures on contracts, plus applicable profit margin, not yet billed. Unbilled receivables are normally billed and collected within one year. Billings made on contracts are recorded as a reduction of unbilled receivables, and to the extent that such billings and cash collections exceed costs incurred plus applicable profit margin, they are recorded as unearned revenues.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of investments in short-term financial instruments with initial maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents include the following:

(c) Restricted Cash and Credit Facility
A portion of the Company’s cash is restricted under the terms of two security agreements.
One agreement is between Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. and Barclays Bank. Under this agreement, the cash is on deposit at Barclays Bank and serves as security for letters of credit that are expected to be issued by Barclays Bank on behalf of Ocean Power Technologies Ltd., one of the Company's subsidiaries, under a €800,000 credit facility established by Barclays Bank for Ocean Power Technologies Ltd. The credit facility is for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees and carries a fee of 1% per annum of the amount of any such obligations issued by Barclays Bank. As of January 31, 2013, there were €266,000 in letters of credit outstanding under this agreement. The credit facility does not have an expiration date, but is cancelable at the discretion of the bank.
The other agreement is between Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. and the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU). The Company received a $500,000 recoverable grant award from the NJBPU. Under this agreement, the Company is required to assign to the NJBPU a certificate of deposit in an amount equal to the outstanding grant balance. See Note 6.
Cash restricted under security agreements is as follows:

(d) Foreign Exchange Gains and Losses
The Company has invested in certain certificates of deposit and has maintained cash accounts that are denominated in British pounds sterling, Euros and Australian dollars. These amounts are included in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Such positions may result in realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuations, which gains and losses are included in foreign exchange loss in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(e) Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and patents subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, then an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company reviewed its long-lived assets for impairment and determined there was no impairment for the nine months ended January 31, 2013.

(f) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash balances, bank certificates of deposit and trade receivables. The Company invests its excess cash in highly liquid investments (principally, short-term bank deposits, Treasury bills, Treasury notes and money market funds) and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risks related to its cash accounts, money market funds or certificates of deposit.
The table below shows the percentage of the Company's revenues derived from customers whose revenues accounted for at least 10% of the Company's consolidated revenues for at least one of the periods indicated:

The loss of, or a significant reduction in revenues from, any of the current customers could significantly impact the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company does not require its customers to maintain collateral.
(g) Net Loss per Common Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share for all periods presented is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Due to the Company's net losses, potentially dilutive securities, consisting of outstanding stock options and non-vested performance-based shares, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation due to their anti-dilutive effect.
In computing diluted net loss per share, options to purchase shares of common stock and non-vested restricted stock issued to employees and non-employee directors, totaling 1,462,731 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013, and 1,534,767 for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, were excluded from the computations as the effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses.
(h) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amendment to the disclosure requirements for presentation of comprehensive income. The amendment requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance became effective retrospectively for the interim periods and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; however, the FASB agreed to an indefinite deferral of the reclassification requirement. See page 5 for the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

(5) Related Party Transactions
In August 1999, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with an individual for the provision of marketing services. This agreement provides for fees at a rate of $950 per day of services provided. The individual became a member of the board of directors in June 2006. In addition, this individual is also the chief executive officer of a company that provides engineering and technical services to the Company. The Company also provides services to the company where this individual is the chief executive officer. This individual did not stand for re-election to the board of directors at the Company’s Annual Meeting on October 4, 2012, and is no longer considered a related party, consequently, subsequent transactions are not included in the amounts below.

(7) Deferred Credits Payable and Deferred Credits
During the year ended April 30, 2001, in connection with the sale of common stock to an investor, the Company received $600,000 from the investor in exchange for an option to purchase up to 500,000 metric tons of carbon emissions credits generated by the Company during the years 2008 through 2012, at a 30% discount from the then-prevailing market rate. If the Company received emission credits under applicable laws and failed to sell to the investor the credits up to the full amount of emission credits covered by the option, the investor was entitled to liquidated damages equal to 30% of the aggregate market value of the shortfall in emission credits (subject to a limit on the market price of emission credits). Under the terms of the agreement, if the Company did not become entitled under applicable laws to the full amount of emission credits covered by the option by December 31, 2012, the Company was obligated to return the option fee of $600,000, less the aggregate discount on any emission credits sold to the investor prior to such date. In December 2012, the Company and the investor agreed to extend the period for the sale of emission credits until December 31, 2017. As of January 31, 2013, the Company has not generated any emissions credits eligible for purchase under the agreement and the Company does not believe it is probable that it will generate any eligible emissions credits before December 31, 2017. Accordingly, the $600,000 has been classified as a current liability as of April 30, 2012 and as a noncurrent liability as of January 31, 2013.

(8) Stock-Based Compensation
Costs resulting from all stock-based payment transactions are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at their fair values. Compensation cost for the portion of the awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered that were outstanding as of May 1, 2006 is being recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the remaining service period after such date based on the award's original estimated fair value. The aggregate stock-based compensation expense related to all stock-based transactions recorded in the consolidated statements of operations was approximately $756,000 and $935,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
(a) Stock Options
Valuation Assumptions for Options Granted During the Nine Months Ended January 31, 2013 and 2012
The fair value of each stock option granted, for both service-based and performance-based vesting requirements, during the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming no dividends and using the weighted average valuation assumptions noted in the following table. The risk-free rate is based on the US Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of the stock options granted was estimated using the "simplified" method as permitted by the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility for a peer group of companies for a period equal to the stock option's expected life, calculated on a daily basis.

As of January 31, 2013, the total intrinsic value of outstanding options was approximately $106,000 and the total intrinsic value of exercisable options was $0. As of January 31, 2013, approximately 559,000 additional options are expected to vest in the future, which options had approximately $106,000 of intrinsic value and a weighted average remaining contractual term of 8.5 years. There was approximately $714,000 and $842,000 of total recognized compensation cost related to stock options for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of January 31, 2013, there was approximately $988,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options granted under the plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years. The Company normally issues new shares to satisfy option exercises under these plans. During the nine months ended January 31, 2013, stock options granted included 39,240 stock options which are subject to performance-based vesting requirements.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is involved from time to time in certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
Spain Construction Agreement
The Company is currently engaged with Iberdrola Cantabria in discussions regarding modifications to its agreement for the first phase of the construction of a wave power project off the coast of Spain. This first phase was due to be completed by December 31, 2009. If no modification is agreed to by the parties, the customer may, subject to certain conditions in the agreement, terminate the agreement and would not be obligated to make any more milestone payments. The agreement also provides that the customer may seek reimbursement for direct damages only, limited to amounts specified in the agreement, if the Company is in default of its obligations under the agreement. As of January 31, 2013, the Company does not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. See Note 1.
Spain IVA (sales tax)
The Company received notice that the Spanish Tax Authorities are inquiring into its 2010 IVA (value-added tax) filing for which the Company benefitted from the offset of approximately $250,000 input tax. The Company believes that the inquiry will find that the tax credit was properly claimed and, therefore, no liability has been recorded.

(10) Income Taxes
During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1,453,243, representing the proceeds from the sale of $18,675,000 of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards. During the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1,053,427, representing the proceeds from the sale of $12,862,000 of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards.
Other than as a result of the sale of New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards, the Company did not recognize any consolidated income tax benefit (expense) for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future years. Accordingly, the benefit of the net operating loss that would have been recognized was offset by changes in the valuation allowance.
During the nine months ended January 31, 2013, the Company had no material changes in uncertain tax positions.
(11) Operating Segments and Geographic Information
The Company views its business as one segment, which is the development and sale of its PowerBuoy product for wave energy applications. The Company operates on a worldwide basis with one operating company in the US, one operating subsidiary in the UK and one operating subsidiary in Australia, which are categorized below as North America, Europe, and Asia and Australia, respectively.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Some of the information contained in this discussion and analysis or set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, including information with respect to our plans and strategy for our business, includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. You should review the "Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2012 for a discussion of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results described in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in the following discussion and analysis. References to a fiscal year in this Form 10-Q refer to the year ended April 30 of that year (e.g., fiscal 2012 refers to the year ended April 30, 2012).
Overview
We develop and are seeking to commercialize proprietary systems that generate electricity by harnessing the renewable energy of ocean waves. Our PowerBuoy® systems use proprietary technologies to convert the mechanical energy created by the rising and falling of ocean waves into electricity. We currently offer and continue to develop two PowerBuoy product lines, which consist of our utility PowerBuoy system and our autonomous PowerBuoy system. We also offer operations and maintenance services for our PowerBuoy systems. In addition, we market our undersea substation pod product and undersea power connection infrastructure services to other companies in the marine energy sector. Since fiscal 2002, the US Navy and other government agencies have accounted for a significant portion of our revenues. These revenues were largely for the support of our product development efforts. Our goal, over time, is to generate revenues from utilities and other non-government commercial customers and to have any such revenues represent a substantial portion of our total revenues. In addition, our goal is that an increased portion of our revenues be from the sale of products and maintenance services, as compared to revenue to support our product development efforts. As we continue to advance our proprietary technologies, we expect to have a net decrease in cash from operating activities unless or until we achieve positive cash flow from the planned commercialization of our products and services.
We market our utility PowerBuoy system, which is designed to supply electricity to a local or regional power grid, to utilities and other electrical power producers seeking to add electricity generated by wave energy to their existing electricity supply. We market our autonomous PowerBuoy system, which is designed to generate power for use independent of the power grid, to customers that require electricity in remote locations. We believe there are a variety of potential applications for our autonomous PowerBuoy system, including sonar and radar surveillance, tsunami warning, oceanographic data collection, offshore platforms and offshore aquaculture.
We were incorporated in New Jersey in April 1984, began business operations in 1994, and were re-incorporated in Delaware in 2007. We currently have three wholly-owned subsidiaries, Ocean Power Technologies Ltd., Reedsport OPT Wave Park LLC, and Oregon Wave Energy Partners I, LLC, and we own approximately 88% of the ordinary shares of Ocean Power Technologies (Australasia) Pty Ltd (OPTA). In March 2012, OPTA acquired 100% ownership of Victorian Wave Partners Pty Ltd.
The development of our technology has been funded by capital we raised and by development engineering contracts we received starting in fiscal 1995. In fiscal 1996, we received the first of several research contracts with the US Navy to study the feasibility of wave energy. As a result of those research contracts, we entered into our first development and construction contract with the US Navy in fiscal 2002 under a project for the development and testing of our wave power systems at the US Marine Corps Base in Oahu, Hawaii. This project included the grid-connection of one of our utility-grade PowerBuoys at the Marine Corps Base. We generated our first revenue relating to our autonomous PowerBuoy system from contracts with Lockheed Martin Corporation, or Lockheed Martin, in fiscal 2003, and we entered into our first development and construction contract with Lockheed Martin in fiscal 2004 for the development and construction of a prototype demonstration autonomous PowerBuoy system. Subsequently, we received a contract from the US Navy to test our autonomous PowerBuoy system as a power source for the Navy’s Deep Water Active Detection System (DWADS). In 2011, an autonomous PowerBuoy was deployed for ocean trials off the coast of New Jersey under a contract from the US Navy under its Littoral Expeditionary Autonomous PowerBuoy (LEAP) program. The LEAP PowerBuoy, incorporating a unique power take-off and on-board storage system, is significantly smaller and more compact than our standard utility PowerBuoy. It is designed to provide persistent, off-grid clean energy in remote ocean locations for a wide variety of maritime security, monitoring and other commercial applications. Also in 2011, ocean trials of our first Mark 3 PowerBuoy (previously referred to as “150kW PowerBuoy” or “PB150”) were conducted. These ocean trials were conducted at a site approximately 33 nautical miles from Invergordon, off Scotland’s northeast coast. During the ocean trials, our Mark 3 PowerBuoy produced power in excess of our expectations of performance. Our utility scale Mark 3 PowerBuoy structure and mooring system achieved independent certification from Lloyd’s Register. This certification from Lloyd’s Register confirms that the Mark 3 PowerBuoy design complies with the requirements of Lloyd’s 1999 Rules and Regulations for the Classification of Floating Offshore Installations at Fixed Locations.
During the three months ended January 31, 2013, we continued work on the projects with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding and the US Department of Homeland Security, our WavePort project in Spain and our Mark 3 PowerBuoy in Oregon. We also continued to work on developing our Mark 4 PowerBuoy (previously referred to as “PB500 PowerBuoy”).
We are planning for deployment of a Mark 3 PowerBuoy off the coast of Oregon. However, deployment and commissioning of this PowerBuoy must take into consideration various regulatory, business, and a financial factors, including requirements of regulatory agencies and a significant use of funds. In February 2013, we received notification from staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that it now considers our first Oregon PowerBuoy to be subject to its jurisdiction. If FERC is ultimately determined to have such jurisdiction, significant reporting and other procedures will be necessary to comply with FERC requirements, which will require us to make additional expenditures. These factors may delay deployment of the Oregon PowerBuoy beyond calendar 2013.
Our efforts continued in connection with deployment of the planned 19MW wave power project off the coast of Victoria, Australia. Funding for this project includes a grant of A$66.5 million (approximately US $70 million) awarded by the Commonwealth of Australia. The grant is subject to certain terms, including achievement of significant external funding milestones, in order to enable our receipt of the grant funds. In November 2012, we engaged a financial advisor to lead efforts to structure power purchase agreements and secure appropriate financing for this project. The Board of Directors of the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, the Commonwealth agency, that manages the grant, is reviewing the status of the grant, including progress toward funding milestones and amendments to the grant as proposed by us.
At January 31, 2013, our total negotiated backlog was $4.3 million compared with $7.8 million at January 31, 2012. We anticipate that the majority of our backlog will be recognized as revenue over a period exceeding 12 months. A portion of our backlog at January 31, 2013, is for our Oregon project, and we intend to seek additional funding to complete this project. Most of our backlog at January 31, 2013 and 2012 consisted of cost-sharing contracts as described in the Financial Operations Overview section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Our backlog can include both funded amounts, which are unfilled firm orders for our products and services for which funding has been both authorized and appropriated by the customer (Congress, in the case of US Government agencies) and unfunded amounts, which are unfilled firm orders from the US Department of Energy (DOE) for which funding has not been appropriated. If any of our contracts were to be terminated, our backlog would be reduced by the expected value of the remaining terms of such contracts. Funded backlog was $4.3 million and $5.8 million at January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
For the three months ended January 31, 2013, we generated revenues of $0.9 million and incurred a net loss attributable to Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. of $1.5 million, compared to revenues of $0.9 million and a net loss attributable to Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. of $2.2 million for the three months ended January 31, 2012. For the nine months ended January 31, 2013, we generated revenues of $3.2 million and incurred a net loss attributable to Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. of $10.6 million, compared to revenues of $4.3 million and a net loss attributable to Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. of $11.0 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. As of January 31, 2013, our accumulated deficit was $136.5 million. We have not been profitable since inception, and we do not know whether or when we will become profitable because of the significant uncertainties with respect to our ability to successfully commercialize our PowerBuoy systems in the emerging renewable energy market.
The recent global economic uncertainty may have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Currently, the cost of electricity generated from wave energy, without the benefit of subsidies or other economic incentives, substantially exceeds the prevailing price of electricity in many significant markets in the world. As a result, the near-term growth of the market opportunity for our utility PowerBuoy systems, which are designed to feed electricity into a local or regional power grid, depends significantly on the availability and magnitude of government incentives and subsidies for wave energy. Federal, state and local governmental bodies in many countries have provided subsidies in the form of tariff subsidies, rebates, tax credits and other incentives to utilities, power generators and distributors using renewable energy. However, these incentives and subsidies generally decline over time, and many incentive and subsidy programs have specific expiration dates. The timing, scope and size of new government programs for renewable energy is uncertain, and there can be no assurances that we or our customers will be successful in obtaining any additional government funding. We do not believe the recent global economic uncertainty will have a material negative impact on our sources of supply, as our products incorporate what are substantially non-custom, standard parts found in many regions of the world.
According to the International Energy Agency, $3.4 trillion is expected to be spent for new renewable energy generation equipment in the period from 2007 to 2030. This equates to annual global expenditures of approximately $150 billion. We plan to take advantage of these global drivers of demand for renewable energy as we continue to refine and expand our proprietary technology.
Financial Operations Overview
The following describes certain line items in our consolidated statements of operations and some of the factors that affect our operating results.
Revenues
Generally, we recognize revenue using the percentage-of-completion method based on the ratio of costs incurred to total estimated costs at completion. In certain circumstances, revenue under contracts that have specified milestones or other performance criteria may be recognized only when our customer acknowledges that such criteria have been satisfied. In addition, recognition of revenue (and the related costs) may be deferred for fixed-price contracts until contract completion if we are unable to reasonably estimate the total costs of the project prior to completion. Because we have a small number of contracts, revisions to the percentage-of-completion determination or delays in meeting performance criteria or in completing projects may have a significant effect on our revenue for the periods involved. Upon anticipating a loss on a contract, we recognize the full amount of the anticipated loss in the current period.
Generally our contracts are either cost plus or fixed price contracts. Under cost plus contracts, we bill the customer for actual expenses incurred plus an agreed-upon fee. Revenue is typically recorded using the percentage-of-completion method based on the maximum awarded contract amount. In certain cases, we may choose to incur costs in excess of the maximum awarded contract amounts resulting in a loss on the contract. Currently, we have two types of fixed price contracts, firm fixed price and cost-sharing. Under firm fixed price contracts, we receive an agreed-upon amount for providing products and services that are specified in the contract. Revenue is typically recorded using the percentage-of-completion method based on the contract amount. Depending on whether actual costs are more or less than the agreed-upon amount, there is a profit or loss on the project. Under cost-sharing contracts, the fixed amount agreed upon with the customer is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project. We fund the remainder of the costs as part of our product development efforts. Revenue is typically recorded using the percentage-of-completion method based on the amount agreed upon with the customer. An amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenues resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. Our share of the costs is recorded as product development expense. Most of our revenue in the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 was from cost-sharing contracts.

Cost of revenues
Our cost of revenues consists primarily of incurred material, labor and manufacturing overhead expenses, such as engineering expense, equipment depreciation and maintenance and facility related expenses, and includes the cost of PowerBuoy parts and services supplied by third-party suppliers. Cost of revenues also includes PowerBuoy system delivery and deployment expenses and anticipated losses at completion on certain contracts.
Product development costs
Our product development costs consist of salaries and other personnel-related costs and the costs of products, materials and outside services used in our product development and unfunded research activities. Our product development costs relate primarily to our efforts to increase the output and reliability of our utility PowerBuoy system, including the Mark 3 PowerBuoy, and to our research and development of new products, product applications and complementary technologies. We expense all of our product development costs as incurred.
Selling, general and administrative costs
Our selling, general and administrative costs consist primarily of professional fees, salaries and other personnel-related costs for employees and consultants engaged in sales and marketing and support of our PowerBuoy systems and costs for executive, accounting and administrative personnel, professional fees and other general corporate expenses.
Interest income
Interest income consists of interest received on cash and cash equivalents, investments in commercial bank-issued certificates of deposit and US Treasury bills and notes. Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities were $24.5 million as of January 31, 2013, compared to $37.8 million as of January 31, 2012. Interest income in the nine months ended January 31, 2013 decreased compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2012 due to a decline in interest rates and a decline in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.
We anticipate that our interest income reported in fiscal 2013 will continue to be lower than the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year as a result of the decrease in invested cash.
Income tax benefit
During the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, we sold New Jersey net operating tax loss carryforwards resulting in income tax benefits of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Foreign exchange gain (loss)
We transact business in various countries and have exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses arise in the translation of foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, which may result in realized and unrealized gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuations. Since we conduct our business in US dollars and our functional currency is the US dollar, our main foreign exchange exposure, if any, results from changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the British pound sterling, the Euro and the Australian dollar. Due to the macroeconomic pressures in certain European countries, foreign exchange rates may become more volatile in the future.
We invest in certificates of deposit and maintain cash accounts that are denominated in British pounds sterling, Euros and Australian dollars. These foreign-denominated certificates of deposit and cash accounts had a balance of $3.2 million as of January 31, 2013 and $3.6 million as of January 31, 2012, compared to our total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities balances of $24.5 million as of January 31, 2013 and $37.8 million as of January 31, 2012. These foreign currency balances are translated at each month end to our functional currency, the US dollar, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in our results of operations.
In addition, a portion of our operations is conducted through our subsidiaries in countries other than the United States, specifically Ocean Power Technologies Ltd. in the United Kingdom, the functional currency of which is the British pound sterling, and Ocean Power Technologies (Australasia) Pty Ltd. in Australia, the functional currency of which is the Australian dollar. Both of these subsidiaries have foreign exchange exposure that results from changes in the exchange rate between their functional currency and other foreign currencies in which they conduct business. All of our international revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 were recorded in Euros, British pounds sterling, Australian dollars or Japanese yen.
We currently do not hedge our exchange rate exposure. However, we assess the anticipated foreign currency working capital requirements and capital asset acquisitions of our foreign operations and attempt to maintain a portion of our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities denominated in foreign currencies sufficient to satisfy these anticipated requirements. We also assess the need and cost to utilize financial instruments to hedge currency exposures on an ongoing basis and may hedge against exchange rate exposure in the future.

Revenues
Revenues were $0.9 million in the three months ended January 31, 2013 and also in the three months ended January 31, 2012. There was a slight decrease in revenue related to our Mark 4 PowerBuoy project, partially offset by an increase in revenue related to our project with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding.
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues was $0.9 million in the three months ended January 31, 2013 and also in the three months ended January 31, 2012. There was a slight decrease in cost of revenues related to our Mark 4 PowerBuoy project, partially offset by an increase in cost of revenues related to our project with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding.
We operated at a slight gross loss in the three month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. Most of our projects in the three month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 were under cost-sharing contracts. Under cost-sharing contracts, we receive a fixed amount agreed upon with the customer that is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project. We fund the remainder of the costs primarily as part of our product development efforts. Revenue is typically recorded using the percentage-of-completion method applied to the contractual amount agreed upon with the customer. An equal amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenues resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. Our share of the costs is considered to be product development expense. Our ability to generate a gross profit will depend on the nature of future contracts, our success at increasing sales of our PowerBuoy systems and on our ability to manage costs incurred on our fixed price contracts.
Product development costs
Product development costs decreased by $0.8 million, or 57%, to $0.6 million in the three months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $1.4 million in the three months ended January 31, 2012. Product development costs were attributable primarily to our efforts to increase the power output and reliability of our utility PowerBuoy system, especially for our utility-scale PowerBuoy system. The decrease in product development costs was related primarily to a decrease in activity related to our PowerBuoy project off the coast of Oregon. There was also a decrease in activity related to our project off the coast of Hawaii. The Hawaii project was completed in fiscal 2012. Over the next several years, it is our intent to fund the majority of our research and development expenses, including cost-sharing arrangements, with sources of external funding. If we are unable to obtain external funding, we may curtail our research and development expenses or we may decide to self-fund significant research and development expenses, in which case our product development costs may increase. During the three months ended January 31, 2013, the majority of funding for our Mark 4 PowerBuoy development project was from external sources.
Selling, general and administrative costs
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 30%, to $2.4 million for the three months ended January 31, 2013 as compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended January 31, 2012. The increase was due primarily to an increase in business development-related legal fees, site development expenses related to a potential project in Australia and certain employee-related costs.
Interest income
Interest income decreased approximately 77% to $22,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $95,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2012, due to a decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and a decrease in average yield.
Foreign exchange gain
Foreign exchange gain was $22,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2013, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $113,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2012. The difference was attributable primarily to the relative change in value of the British pound sterling, Euro, Australian dollar and Japanese yen compared to the US dollar during the two periods.
Income tax benefit
During the three months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, we sold New Jersey net operating tax loss carryforwards resulting in income tax benefits of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Revenues
Revenues decreased by $1.1 million, or 26%, to $3.2 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $4.3 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The change in revenues was attributable to the following factors:
•
|
|
Revenues relating to our autonomous PowerBuoy system decreased by $1.5 million primarily as a result of a decrease in billable work on our projects to provide our PowerBuoy technology to the US Navy's Littoral Expeditionary Autonomous PowerBuoy (“LEAP”) program. The LEAP project was completed during fiscal 2012.
|
|
|
|
•
|
|
Revenues relating to our utility PowerBuoy system increased by $0.4 million due primarily to an increase in billable work on our Power Buoy project off the coast of Oregon, our WavePort project off the coast of Spain and our project with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding, partially offset by a decrease in billable work related to our Mark 4 PowerBuoy project.
|
Cost of revenues
Cost of revenues decreased by $1.2 million, or 28%, to $3.1 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $4.3 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2012. This decrease in the cost of revenues reflected the decrease in billable work related to our LEAP project with the US Navy and our Mark 4 PowerBuoy project. The LEAP project was completed during fiscal 2012. This was partially offset by the increased activity on our PowerBuoy project off the coast of Oregon and our project with Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding.
We operated at a slight gross profit in the nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. Most of our projects in the nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 were under cost-sharing contracts. Under cost-sharing contracts, we receive a fixed amount agreed upon with the customer that is only intended to fund a portion of the costs on a specific project. We fund the remainder of the costs primarily as part of our product development efforts. Revenue is typically recorded using the percentage-of-completion method applied to the contractual amount agreed upon with the customer. An equal amount corresponding to the revenue is recorded in cost of revenues resulting in gross profit on these contracts of zero. Our share of the costs is considered to be product development expense. Our ability to generate a gross profit will depend on the nature of future contracts, our success at increasing sales of our PowerBuoy systems and on our ability to manage costs incurred on our fixed price contracts.
Product development costs
Product development costs decreased by $1.1 million, or 17%, to $5.5 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $6.6 million in the nine months ended January 31, 2012. Product development costs were attributable primarily to our efforts to increase the power output and reliability of our utility PowerBuoy system, especially for our utility-scale PowerBuoy system. The decrease in product development costs was related primarily to a decrease in activity related to our project off the coast of Scotland. The Scotland project was completed in fiscal 2012. This was partially offset by an increase in activity related to our PowerBuoy project off the coast of Oregon and our WavePort project off the coast of Spain. Over the next several years, it is our intent to fund the majority of our research and development expenses, including cost-sharing arrangements, with sources of external funding. If we are unable to obtain external funding, we may curtail our research and development expenses or we may decide to self-fund significant research and development expenses, in which case our product development costs may increase. During the nine months ended January 31, 2013, the majority of funding for our Mark 4 PowerBuoy development project was from external sources.
Selling, general and administrative costs
Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $1.0 million, or 17%, to $6.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 as compared to $5.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The increase was due primarily to an increase in business development-related legal fees and in site development expenses related to a potential project in Australia.
Interest income
Interest income decreased approximately 67% to $112,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, as compared to $342,000 in the nine months ended January 31, 2012, due to a decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and a decrease in average yield.
Foreign exchange loss
Foreign exchange gain was $16,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, compared to a foreign exchange loss of $93,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The difference was attributable primarily to the relative change in value of the British pound sterling, Euro, Australian dollar and Japanese yen compared to the US dollar during the two periods.
Income tax benefit
During the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, we sold New Jersey net operating tax loss carryforwards resulting in income tax benefits of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our inception, the cash flows from customer revenues have not been sufficient to fund our operations and provide the capital resources for the planned growth of our business. For the two years ended April 30, 2012, our net losses were $35.6 million and our net cash used in operating activities was $32.7 million.
Cash flows for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $8.2 million and $9.7 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The change was the result of an increase in cash provided by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.3 million and a decrease in net loss of $0.4 million. Our quarterly cash outflow from operating activities may vary significantly in future periods depending upon the success of our new business development initiatives and expenditures related to our PowerBuoy project off the coast of Oregon.
Net cash provided by investing activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $7.9 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and $13.6 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. The change was primarily the result of a net decrease in maturities of marketable securities during the nine months ended January 31, 2013.
Net cash used in financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $97,000 and $170,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net cash used was primarily for repayment of long-term debt.
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents
The effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents was a decrease of $9,000 and $216,000 in the nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents results primarily from gains or losses on consolidation of foreign subsidiaries and foreign denominated cash and cash equivalents.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook
We expect to devote substantial resources to continue our development efforts for our PowerBuoy systems and to expand our sales, marketing and manufacturing programs associated with the planned commercialization of the PowerBu
