PART I

Item 1. Business

Overview

QDs are nanoscale semiconductor crystals typically between 10 and 100 atoms in diameter. Approximately 10,000 would fit across the diameter of a human hair. Their small size makes it possible for them to exhibit certain quantum mechanical properties. QDs emit either photons or electrons when excited. In the case of photons, the wavelength (color) of light emitted varies depending on the composition and size of the quantum dot. As such, the photonic emissions can be tuned by the creation of QDs of different types and/or sizes. Their unique properties as highly efficient, next generation semiconductors have led to the use of QDs in a range of electronic and other applications, in the display and lighting industries. QDs also have applications in solar cells, where their characteristics enable conversion of light energy into electricity with the potential for significantly higher efficiencies and lower costs than existing technologies, thereby creating the opportunity for a step change in the solar energy industry through the use of QDs in printed photovoltaic cells.

QDs were first discovered in the early 1980s and the industry has developed to the point where QDs are now being used in an increasing range of applications, including televisions and displays, light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting (also known as solid-state lighting), and in the biomedical industry. LG, Samsung, and other companies have recently launched new televisions using QDs to enhance the picture color quality and power efficiency. A number of major lighting companies are developing product applications using QDs to create a more natural light for LEDs. The biomedical industry is using QDs in diagnostic and therapeutic applications; and applications are being developed to print highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells in mass quantities at a low cost.

QDs also have applications in solar cells, where their characteristics enable conversion of light energy into electricity with the potential for significantly higher efficiency than existing technologies. In traditional solar cells, a photon can only be converted into a fixed amount of energy per photon, regardless of the photon’s total energy. Excess energy is converted to heat which further lowers the efficiency of the panel. QD-based solar cells have the potential to significantly exceed this efficiency because QDs are capable of generating multiple electrons per photon strike rather than converting the extra energy of high energy photons to heat as in the case of traditional solar cells. QD solar cells can also convert the infrared portion of the spectrum that is not absorbed by traditional solar cells. These attributes make the theoretical maximum efficiency of QD solar cells substantially higher that of traditional silicon solar cells. We believe the use of QDs in solar cells will create the opportunity for a step change in efficiency and performance in printed photovoltaic cells.

A key challenge for the quantum dot industry has been and may continue to be its ability to scale up production volumes sufficiently to meet growing demand for QDs while maintaining product quality and consistency and reducing the overall costs of supply to stimulate new applications. QDs remain an expensive product, but we anticipate rapid growth of the QD market.

History of the Company

QMC was formed in January 2007, as a Nevada corporation under the name “Hague Corp.” and its shares began trading in the over-the-counter market in the fourth calendar quarter of 2008. The original business of Hague Corp. was the exploitation of mineral interests. Solterra, a Delaware corporation, was formed in May 2008 by Mr. Stephen Squires, our Chief Executive Officer, and other shareholders to develop quantum dot applications in the solar cell industry. Solterra was acquired by Hague Corp. in November 2008, pursuant to a merger transaction wherein the shareholders of Solterra exchanged their shares of common stock in Solterra for shares of common stock in Hague Corp., and Solterra became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Hague Corp. Upon the closing of the merger, Hague Corp. changed its business from the exploitation of minerals to the development of QDs, and subsequently changed its name to “Quantum Materials Corp.” in 2010.

In October 2008, Solterra also entered into a license agreement with the University of Arizona, which was later amended, (the “UA License”) pursuant to which Solterra has been granted exclusive rights to use the University of Arizona’s patented screen-printing techniques in the production and sale of organic light emitting diodes (“OLEDs”) incorporating QDs in printed electronic displays and other printed electronic components. This technology was developed at University of Arizona by Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. In 2020, the Company determined that the U of A patented technology was not optimal for its printed solar cell product and developed its own solution.

In 2010, Solterra entered into an agreement with a third-party provider of industrial process equipment to develop a proprietary process for continuous flow production of QDs and TQDs under which Solterra retained all ownership and rights to the design and any related intellectual property. The development work has since been completed and the first two units have been delivered and placed into operation.

In 2013, the Company opened the Wet Lab in San Marcos, Texas at Star Park, an extension of Texas State University. In 2014, the first piece of manufacturing equipment was delivered to the Wet Lab. The capacity of the initial unit was approximately 250kg of QDs or TQDs per year and was intended to be used for internal research and development purposes although it also can be used for commercial production.

In 2014, the Company acquired a patent portfolio from Bayer AG that included patents and patent applications covering the high-volume manufacture of QDs, including heavy metal-free compositions, various methods for enhancing quantum dot performance, and a quantum dot based solar cell technology (the “Bayer Patents”).

In 2015, the Company expanded its San Marcos facility and took delivery of a second, larger unit capable of producing approximately 2,000kg of QDs and other nanoparticles per year. This second unit is intended to be used for the Company’s initial commercial production. The Company believes this equipment has positioned the Company to quickly and efficiently scale up mass production of QDs and TQDs for commercial sale, solar panel production, and other applications allowing the Company to readily meet increases in volume demand by simply adding additional equipment units.

The Bayer Patents, the UA License, organically developed technologies and our proprietary continuous flow manufacturing process comprise our fundamental asset platform. We believe that the intellectual property and proprietary technologies position the usCompany to become a leader in the overall nanomaterials and quantum dot industry, and a preferred supplier of high performance QDs and TQDs to an expanding range of applications.

In 2016, Mr. Squires returned as President and CEO and implemented a cost reduction initiative streamlining the G&A overhead and devoting more resources to R&D and commercialization readiness. These efforts have resulted in further optimization of the chemistry and the products. Through this refinement, we have been able to double the through put of our current production equipment from 2000 Kg of QDs per year to 4,000 Kg of QDs per year. All of our discoveries are purposely developed to be compatible with our patented flow manufacturing process. Management believes that this and a number of other material performance enhancement discoveries made by us provide us with the ability to provide industry leading material performance at a very competitive price point.

In 2019 the Company developed the QDX Ledger, which is based on technology acquired the blockchain-based technology assets of Capstan Platform, Inc. to provide an immutable, scalable and shared data store for consistent tracking and visibility among participants in a product supply chain. The identity and access credentials of participants, be they individuals, corporations or machines is also secured on the platform, providing mechanisms to control and restrict the supply of products as might be required by regulatory mandates and socially conscious business practices.

QDX Quantum Dots can be incorporated into almost any physical product so that its authenticity can be verified and tracked from point of manufacture through to sale to an end customer. Unlike existing approaches to establishing product identity, including QR code stickers and RFID tags, we believe that QDX Quantum Dots are more tamper proof, resistant to environmental extremes and low cost. We believe that they may be incorporated into products as diverse as auto parts, consumer electronics, apparel and luxury fashion accessories, industrial IoT devices, bank notes and even liquids, such as gasoline and lubricants.

In early 2020 and in the advent of the Covid 19 pandemic, the company recognized a need for a secure method for the validation and reporting of the Covid 19 testing process. The Company leveraged its existing QDX Ledger platform technology to launch the QDX HealthID later rebranded the QMC HealthID and is operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Quantum Materials Corp.

Business Opportunities

The following outlines the business opportunities that the Company has pursued over the last few years:

WeThe Company can provide no assurances that ourits efforts to date will result in the grant of patents for proprietary processes or result in future sales and/or profitable operations.

A uniquely performing variant of QDs are.are TQDs, which have a molecular configuration consisting of a center portion and four arms extending from the center that are equally spaced in three dimensions. TQDs have material advantages over standard spherical QDs where both absorption of photons and charge transport are enhanced by the legs of the tetrapod which effectively serve as trillions of antennae for light. Their unique architecture and shape also promotes more uniform distances between the dots, which helps to eliminate the problem of aggregation. TQDs are more costly and difficult to produce in quantity using known methods, with the exception of our patented flow technology.

Initially, our principal business emphasis was on the development of tetrapod quantum dots (“TQDs”) for solar cell applications through Solterra. TQDs are a variant of QDs with material advantages over standard spherical QDs, particularly in solar panel applications. The solar cell market became increasingly volatile, with prices eroding due to the influx of subsidized products from outside the United States.We believe that we are well-positioned to bring a solar cell to market with sufficiently high conversion efficiency that, when combined with our low- cost proprietary manufacturing process, will result in a product capable of producing energy at a competitive cost per watt compared to existing solar cell technology and at a scale that will meet growing market demand for distributed, sustainable energy.

How Quantum Dots are Produced

High volume production of QDs is typically accomplished through one of several methods including:

Colloidal synthesis: Growth of QDs from precursor compounds dissolved in solutions, much like traditional chemical processes. This manual batch process requires careful control of temperature, mixing and concentration levels of precursor materials. Precise control must be maintained uniformly throughout the solution otherwise non-uniform, irregular QDs are produced. Due to their very small size it is extremely difficult if not impossible to segregate the QDs by size once they have been produced and a conglomeration of varied size QDs are not capable of producing the unique features that are required in most applications.

Prefabricated seed growth: QDs are created from chemical precursors in the presence of a molecular cluster compound under conditions whereby the integrity of the molecular cluster is maintained and acts as a prefabricated seed template. This manual batch method can produce reasonable quantities of QDs but can take significant capital resources to achieve significant volume and still results in low yields.

QMC’s automated continuous process: Unlike the more labor-intensive batch processes described above, we use a continuous manufacturing process to produce QDs and TQDs. We Believe that this patented process and chemistry provides advantages to other methods such as more precise control of process variables which leads to improved quality control. We believe that by using this method yields are higher and manufacturing costs are lower as compared to other methods. We also believe that we are the only company to successfully deploy continuous flow technology in the large-scale manufacturing of highly uniform QDs of both cadmium-based, cadmium-free and a number of other elemental chemistries.

Raw materials for the commercial production of QD are purchased in bulk from chemical supply companies. Indium, a component of our cadmium-free QD is considered a rare metal. Indium is primarily found in South America, Canada, Australia, China and the Commonwealth of Independent States. There is also a mature and efficient indium recycling process. While our management does not believe that a supply disruption of the indium-containing compounds used in the manufacturing of QDs represents a significant risk, no assurances can be given in this regard.

Major Market Segments

Life Sciences. The life sciences industry was one of the early areas of adoption of QD technology, especially for QDs used in fluorescent markers in diagnostic applications. This includes both the in vitro use of QDs for marking (illuminating) particular cell types or metabolic processes for understanding diseases, and in vivo imaging made possible by QD fluorescence in near infrared that can be detected in deep tissues. The fluorescent qualities of QDs provide an attractive alternative to traditional organic dyes in bio-imaging. It is estimated that QDs are 20 times brighter and 100 times more stable than standard fluorescent indicators. QD technology is also being used in place of colloidal gold nanoparticles in lateral flow test kits such as those used in the rapid Covid 19 antigen test. QDs have been reported in literature to exponential improve the sensitivity of these test enabling earlier detection.

TVs, Displays, and Other Optoelectronics.This market is comprised principally of quantum dot LCD displays (“QDLCDs”) for televisions, computers, cell phones, tablets and various other applications. In QDLCDs, QDs are used to down convert some of the blue light from the LED backlight directly to green and red light allowing for the creation of more vibrant colors and energy savings as compared to a traditional LCD TV/display. Unlike OLEDs which are extremely expensive to produce and require massive manufacturing capital expenditures, QD films are a drop-in solution for LCD manufacturers using existing infrastructure allowing for OLED-like color performance at significantly lower capital investment. LCD TVs make up the vast majority of new TV shipments, and we expect this proportion to grow. Samsung and several other OEMs are currently shipping televisions using QDs to enhance the color quality and power efficiency.

Lighting. In the lighting market, companies began to commercialize quantum dot LEDs in 2013 with significant R&D occurring among manufacturers of solid-state lighting. While companies have launched quantum dot LED lamps, the market for quantum dot LED lamps and the other lighting products is still relatively small. We believe QD-based LED lighting will be a highly competitive replacement for currently available compact florescent and LED lighting, as QD technology provides greater power efficiency and the ability to tune the light spectrum to emit light that is the most pleasing and/or appropriate for the application.

Solar Energy. QDs are capable of producing energy from a broad spectrum of solar and radiant energy, including the ultraviolet and infrared frequencies conventional silicon solar cells generally do not convert to electricity. QD solar cells have theoretical conversion potentials of approximately twice that of conventional solar cells, and applications are being developed to “print” highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells in mass quantities at low cost. Management believes that QD solar cells and panels will be the next evolutionary development in the field of solar energy. Management also believes that increased conversion efficiencies will be realized with the use of TQDs resulting from their unique shape and that our low costlow-cost proprietary continuous production process and printing technology will permit Solterra to offer solar electricity solutions that can compete on a non-subsidized basis with the price of retail electricity in key markets around the world. We believe that global energy consumption trends that include the need for distributed energy generation (non-grid and especially in developing markets) and the desire for non-fossil fuel generated energy even at increased costs will drive market demand for solar. Management believes this will be especially true if existing generation by nuclear and coal is decommissioned due to age-related, safety, or environmental concerns or global governmental policy.

Anti-counterfeitingOther applications. Current and future applications of QDs and other nanoparticles may impact a broad range of other industrial markets. These potentially include batteries and energy storage, commercial glass, water purification, improved thermoelectric components, biohazard detection sensors, diode lasers, and others. We intend to monitor these uses as they mature from basic research and plan for specific compositions as market opportunities develop.

We anticipate that the biggest growth sectors for QDs will be in Life Science, anti-counterfeiting, and photovoltaics. Other current and potential applications for QD include nano-bio, commercial glass, batteries, sensors, lasers, and paints. QDs remain an expensive product. Although the high cost has slowed market growth, we believe the recent growth of mass manufacturing is quickly easing the cost constraints.

Current Position

Since January 2017, we have continued to fine-tune our operations. These efforts have enabled us to achieve the highest optical performance for cadmium free quantum dots in the company’s history. In addition, we have expanded the color range to now include the blue spectrum in addition to red and green spectrum. While achieving extraordinary performance is important, management believes that being able to produce these materials repeatedly and at a low price point is the formula for success, and we have made these performance improvements while also doubling throughput and further reducing production. We are now developing the infrastructure to support volume production.

Widespread, rapid adoption of quantum dots by various industries but specifically by the Life Science market may cause supply pressure that will need to be met with significant increases in available production capability. We are now in the process of building addition production capability in order to be better positioned to react to such demand. This production is anticipated to come online in the fourth quarter of 2021. We believe our low-cost high-volume manufacturing process is ideally positioned to meet these requirements. This is anticipated to be a key advantage to the Company to meet market demand and drive increased revenue.

The advantages and benefits of our automated production process and equipment are:

Sales and Marketing Overview

During the past year, we have made significant progress in the development of QDs for use in anti-counterfeiting and Life Science applications. We are engaged with a leading nicotine delivery company developing a proof of concept for a unique authentication technology based on our food grade QDs. This is a funded POC that is scheduled to be complete by the third quarter of 2021. The company has also been developing Quantum Dot enabled lateral flow test kits using our proprietary Quantum Dot technologies. The initial focus is to use our technologies to enhance the sensitivity of the Covid 19 antigen test and to produce antibody test kit technologies that provide quantitative results. We have also developed a proof-of-concept Quantum Dot enabled Covid 19 test cassette with a photonic reader device that communicates directly with our QMC HealthID app in order to deliver an at home testing solution that will provide the highest possible test result and test reporting integrity without the presence of a third-party care giver. The technologies that we are developing for lateral flow test kits will also be applicable to a wide range of lateral flow test kits beyond Covid 19 and we are already exploring those opportunities.

Prior to the covid pandemic the Company entered into an agreement with QMVT in which QMVT would have access to technologies developed by the company that were mutually agreed to be ready for market and in which QMVT would develop that market and distribute the product. The initial focus was to be on a grow film for in door farming. With the advent of the pandemic the company shifted its primary focus to provide solution that would help address a number of challenges related to covid testing management and enhanced covid test kit technologies. The company and QMVT have agreed to dissolve the QMVT relationship and are currently in the process of negotiating the terms to do so.

Our discussions with Life Science companies provide strong evidence that the market opportunity is substantial and that our business plan is aligned with the customers’ product specification needs. While we are pursuing applications in several other markets as well, we believe that the Life Sciences and anti-counterfeiting represents the most substantial and most immediate opportunities. We further believe that our advantages in delivery of large volumes of high quality, narrow spectra, high performance QDs and other nanomaterials via our patented continuous production process makes us an attractive supplier. While we continue to pursue direct sales opportunities, we are also pursuing license agreements with strategic partners that can accelerate adoption in key verticals.

We believe that our recent move into the anti-counterfeiting market utilizing the QDX Quantum Ledger Blockchain Anti-counterfeiting platform is among the first in the quantum dot industry. Piracy and counterfeiting cost businesses more than $200 billion annually and account for the loss of more than 750,000 jobs in the US alone. Counterfeit drugs cost the global pharmaceutical industry approximately $18 billion in lost profits annually and according to Interpol, result in as many as one million deaths annually. QDs and other custom nanoparticles added to ink can be used to create unclonable unique “fingerprints”“quantum fingerprints” for every package using current printing technology, and these “fingerprints” can be quickly verified utilizing a tokenized blockchain distributed ledger technology with a handheld device or optical in-line screening in manufacturing or handling lines.track and trace systems. Our plan is to be the industry innovative leader in this market space.

Life Sciences. The life sciences industryAlthough the development and launch of our QMC HealthID was onepart of our intended business trajectory, we were encouraged by the founder of the World Nano-foundation very early areas of adoption of QD technology, especially for QDs used in fluorescent markers in diagnostic applications.

Operational Overview

Our operations are located in San Marcos, Texas at the Star Park Technology Center, an extension of Texas State University (“TSU”). This location provides us with space for future expansion and with convenient access to TSU faculty and specialized laboratory facilities and equipment that can support joint research and development efforts with Texas State University. Located 30 miles south of Austin, Texas, the San Marcos facility is also in close proximity to a number of leading companies in the electronics, lighting, solar, and life sciences markets. The company is also exploring the possibility of relocating to a standalone facility that will better facilitate our ability to expand our Quantum Dot production, produce micro reactors to support licensing and joint venture opportunities and also allow us to reduce fixed overhead cost.expand our R&D staff activities.

We have recently achieved commercial-scale continuous manufacturing equipment at the San Marcos facility and now have the capacity to produce more than four metric tons (4,000kg) per year of nanomaterials for supply to our customers. Management believes that the production capacity of the San Marcos facility is similar to, or greater than its largest competitors’ factories which are much larger and require significantly larger capital expenditures to build and labor expense to operate. This efficiency is the direct result of our patented continuous flow process and proprietary manufacturing know how and equipment. While we plan to work extensively with our current providers of equipment, we own all rights to the designs and intellectual property resulting from the development projects and could contract with one or more other competent suppliers of equipment or build the manufacturing equipment in-house, if necessary. This also holds true in the eventprocess of building 4 additional reactors in order to increase Quantum Dot production volumes and expand the range of Quantum Dot types we are successful negotiating a licensing agreement with a significant chemical company, in which case we would likely be responsible for managing their scale up efforts.can produce at any one time.

We expect to commence generating revenues from licensing agreements, joint ventures and/or the production of materials at the San Marcos facility in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.2021. In the event we secure a license agreement we anticipate an upfront licensing payment to the company with ongoing royalty payments. Revenues from materials manufactured by the company are expected to be modest at first and will be dependent upon our ability to generate purchase orders from development partners.

Our ongoing research and development functions are considered key to maintaining and enhancing our competitive position in the growing nanomaterials and QD market. Nanomaterials and QD technology continue to evolve, with new discoveries and refinements being made on an ongoing basis. We intend to be at the forefront of technological development and will focus a significant part of our efforts on this, as it has done historically. Continuing R&D activities at the San Marcos facility and our collaboration with Texas State University, University of Arizona,Universities, and the numerous other research centers and departments with which we have relationships will be important aspects of the Company’s strategy. We intendare planning to increase its development of quantum dotour R&D efforts focused on Quantum Dot solar cellscell optimization and commercialization. Our license in 2018/India has indicated that the flooding and then the Covid 19 and are currently considering re-establishingpandemic resulted in extraordinary delays in constructing the facilities in India. It was our intent to direct revenues from that project to accelerate our solar cell developmentdevelopment. We are now better positioned to increase our investment in closer proximity to strategically significant solar technology resources.those technologies without relying solely on funds coming from India.

Our key assets include patents, proprietary high-volume process equipment technology, licenses and other intellectual property rights, our knowhow and the expertise, capabilities, and relationships brought to us by our the Company by its management team. We are implementing a comprehensive patent strategy will put additional focus on building out our intellectual property portfolio and licensing rights.

Patent licenses withThe company has developed its own unique process for producing Quantum Dot solar cells and has determine that it will not be using the University of Arizona include provisions for milestonesdeveloped process. We believe our approach is less costly and milestone payments. To date, such payments have been waived and/or extended by University of Arizona, illustrating the support the university has givenhelps us as we have attempted to advancereduce any royalty stacking on our business with measured resources. Solterra plans to utilize our patented low-cost, high-volume quantum dot production combined with carbon QD and TQD technology to commercialize QD solar cells at a fraction of the cost of current silicon based solar cells.end product.

Our business is subject to various types of government regulations, including restrictions on the chemical composition of nanomaterials used in life sciences and other sensitive applications, the manufacture, transportation and export of chemical substances, and the regulation of hazardous materials used in or produced by the manufacture or use of QDs.

In fiscal year 2017, we applied for and received a Low Volume Exemption (“LVE”) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”) which allows us to manufacture QD quantities of 10,000 kilograms or less per year in the United States. We also recently gained Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registration for QDX cadmium-free quantum dots through a division of the American Chemical Society and has also completed the requisite analysis in support of the QDX Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Both CAS and the SDS are required in order to ship high volumes of advanced materials abroad. Management believes that the patented (owned and licensed) processes and proprietary manufacturing equipment employed allow us to comply with current regulations. However, new regulations or requirements may develop that could adversely affect us and our products in the future. See “Risk Factors” section.

Employees

We have traditionally operated with limited resources and infrastructure. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we have 931 employees, including 48 contractors, and 27 full time employees and the management team.

Competition

The commercial nanomaterials industry and more specifically, the quantum dot industry, is relatively young and undeveloped, with a number of small competitors attempting to establish themselves in different segments by employing one or more competitive strategies. We believe that competition among these companies is based on the following factors:

We believe we are well positioned in all four areas described above. We believe our wide range of QDs, including cadmium/heavy metal-freefood grade, IR emitting and cadmium free QDs, meet or exceed our competitors’ current brightness and light purity specifications,offerings, and our patented continuous manufacturing process allows us to produce large volumes of precise nano wavelength QDs at competitive price points while also giving us the ability to quickly scale up capacity and locate it anywhere in the world it is needed. Lastly, our continuing relationships with universities such as University of Arizona, and Texas State University, private and public labs and our approach to joint development ventures should enable us to achieve and maintain a leading position in R&D and commercialization of new products.

The Company is subject to other competitive risks of early stage and commercial businesses generally, and of advanced technology businesses in particular, including competing in an environment where other companies may be better financed or have more experience than the Company.

Licenses and Intellectual Property

In 2010, we entered into an agreement with a third-party provider of industrial process equipment to develop proprietary equipment for continuous production of QDs under which we retained all ownership and rights to the design and any related intellectual property. We have made significant improvements to date, received two production machines, a 250kg per year capacity unit primarily for internal researchthose designs and development purposeshave now designed our own from proprietary micro-reactors with an increased range of capability, automation, scalability, and sample production, and a larger commercial production unit that process improvements have allowed us to increase from approximately 2,000kg per year when first delivered to 4,000kg per year today.modularization. We believe the design of this manufacturingnew process equipment will position us to quickly and efficiently scale up mass production of a wider range of QDs for commercial sale.

While we plan to work extensively with its current provider of equipment, we own all rights to the designs and intellectual property resulting from the development projects and could contract with one or more other competent suppliers of equipment or build the equipment in-house, if necessary.

Bayer Patents

In 2014, we acquired several patents and patent applications in five diverse sets of patent families from Bayer Technology Services GmbH, (the “Bayer Patents”). The Bayer Patents provide broad intellectual property protection for advances we have achieved in economical high-volume QD manufacturing. In addition, the Bayer Patents cover volume production technology for heavy metal-free QDs and nanoparticles; increasing quantum yields; heavy metal-free QDs; and hybrid organic quantum dot solar cell (“QDSC”) production as well as a surface modification process for increased efficiency of high-performance solar cells and printed electronics.

Agreement with University of Arizona

Solterra entered into an exclusive Patent License Agreement with the University of Arizona (“UA”) in July 2009. On November 22, 2017, Solterra memorialized prior oral agreements and entered into an amended license agreement with UA. Pursuant toThe company has since determined that it will not use the UA License Agreement, as amended, Solterra is obligated to pay minimum annual royalties of $50,000 by January 31, 2019, $125,000 by June 30, 2019subject I.P. and $200,000 on each June 30th thereafter, subject to adjustments for increases in the consumer price index. Such minimum royalty payments shallwill be credited against royalties due in each respective royalty year, July 1 to June 30, following the due date. Royalties based on net sales are 2% of net sales of licensed products for non-display electronic component applications and 2.5% of net sales of licensed products for printed electronic displays. As of June 30, 2017, and 2018, no royalties have been accrued for this obligation.

Agreement with Texas State Universityusing a process technology developed entirely inhouse.

The Company entered into a Service Agreement with Texas State University (“TSU”) by which the Company occupies certain office and lab space at TSU’s STAR Park (Science Technology and Advanced Research) Facility. The agreement is month-to-month and can be terminated with 60-days written notice of either party.

Other Intellectual Property

The Company also owns additional intellectual property in the form of proprietary equipment designs, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, scientific and technical know-how, and “trade secrets” that it intends to further develop and apply in its business, seeking to protect same with appropriate governmental filings and/or secrecy agreements.

Governmental Approvals

Chemical substances manufactured in the Unites States in quantities of 10,000 kilograms or less per year are exempt from full premanufacture notice (“PMN”) review under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (“TSCA”). Low Volume Exemption (“LVE”) substances undergo a 30-day review. During fiscal year 2017, we applied for and received an LVE.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the following risks. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition, cause the trading price of our common stock to decline materially or cause our actual results to differ materially from those expected or those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf.

Not ApplicableRisks Related to Our Business

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations under the notes. A portion of this indebtedness is past due.

We currently have a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness. As of the date covered by this report, June 30, 2019 and 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $7,141,117 and $6,099,077, respectively, with total current assets and liabilities of $20,069 and $7,161,186 respectively for fiscal year 2019. Included in the liabilities are $757,569 owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through June 30, 2019, $2,605,042, of convertible debentures, net of unamortized discount, and $25,130, of notes payable that are due within one year. In addition to disputed amounts already in litigation, an aggregate principal amount of $2,287,350 of our outstanding convertible debentures is past due as of the date of this report. There can be no assurance that the holders of these debentures will not declare an event of default and demand immediate payment of the amounts owed.

We have relied on financing through the issuance of common stock and convertible debentures. As of June 30, 2020, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $248,905. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any refinancings will be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity and results of operations. Our substantial indebtedness subjects us to various risks, including:

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, we have recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented and have a history of losses. Our ability of to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to reverse negative operating trends, obtain revenues from operations, raise additional capital, and/or obtain debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern, if at all.

We have a history of net losses, we anticipate increasing expenses in the future, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability.

We continue to be a development stage company and face risks associated with introducing new products based on new technologies. We continue to incur losses in operations. We expect our costs will increase substantially in the foreseeable future and our losses will continue as we expect to invest significant additional funds towards growing our business and as we continue to invest in commercializing our product offerings, expanding our marketing channels and operations, hiring additional employees, and developing new solutions. These efforts may prove more expensive than we currently anticipate, and we may not succeed in increasing our revenue sufficiently to offset these higher expenses. Further, we expect these efforts to be negatively impacted by the current Covid 19 pandemic and the resulting economic uncertainty. To date, we have financed our operations principally from the sale of our equity and the incurrence of indebtedness. Our cash flow from operations was negative for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. We may not generate positive cash flow from operations or profitability in any given period, and our limited operating history may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and our future prospects.

We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly changing industries, including increasing expenses as we continue to grow our business. We expect our operating expenses to increase significantly over the next several years as we continue to hire additional personnel, expand our operations and infrastructure, and continue to develop and expand our solutions. These investments may be more costly than we expect, and if we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the realization of these benefits is delayed, they may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If our growth rate were to decline significantly or become negative, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are not able to achieve or maintain positive cash flow in the long term, we may require additional financing, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all and/or which could be dilutive to our stockholders. If we are unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, results of operations, and financial condition would be adversely affected. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our common stock.

None of our products has commenced commercial production, and if we continue to experience significant operating losses, we may need additional financing to fund our operations, which may not be available to us.

None of our properties has commenced commercial production, and we have a limited history of earnings or cash flow from our operations. We believe that additional financing will be required in the future to fund our operations. While we may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of our assets, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. We do not know whether additional financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional financing when necessary, we may have to delay our development and sales efforts or be forced to cease operations.

The recent Covid 19 pandemic has had, and similar health epidemics could in the future have, an adverse impact on our business, operations, and the markets and communities in which we and our customers and strategic alliances operate.

Our business and operations have been adversely affected by the recent Covid 19 pandemic, which has impacted the markets and communities in which we and our customers and other business partners operate. Since December 2019, when Covid 19 was first reported, the virus has spread to countries worldwide, including the United States.

The ongoing Covid 19 pandemic has adversely impacted, and may continue to adversely impact, many aspects of our business. As certain of our potential customers and strategic relationships experience downturns or uncertainty in their own business operations and revenue because of the economic effects resulting from the spread of Covid 19, they have and may continue to decrease their spending on new technologies and delay or cancel assessment and implementation of new technology solutions, such as our offerings.

The Covid 19 pandemic has been declared a national emergency. In response to the Covid 19 pandemic, many state, local, and foreign governments have put in place, and continue to enforce in whole or in part, and may at any time choose to fully reinstate, quarantines, executive orders, shelter-in-place orders, and similar government orders and restrictions in order to control the spread of the disease. Such orders or restrictions, or the perception that such orders or restrictions could occur or reoccur, have resulted in business closures, work stoppages, slowdowns and delays, work-from-home policies, travel restrictions, and cancellation or postponement of events, among other effects that could negatively impact productivity and disrupt our operations and those of our customers and strategic alliances.

Many of our employees and consultants continue to work remotely. We may take further actions that alter our operations as may be required by U.S. federal, state, or local, and foreign, authorities, or which we determine are in the best interests of our business, our employees and the communities we serve. There is no guarantee that we will be as effective while working remotely because our team is dispersed, many employees and consultants may have additional personal needs to attend to (such as looking after children as a result of school closures or family who become sick), and employees may become sick themselves and be unable to work. Decreased effectiveness of our team could adversely affect our results due to our inability to meet in person with potential customers and other business relationships, longer time periods to complete sales and implementation of our products, longer time to respond to inquiries, extended timelines for a variety of business matters and a corresponding reduction in growth, or other decreases in productivity that could seriously harm our business. In addition, working remotely could increase our cybersecurity risk and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions, which could adversely impact our business operations or delay necessary interactions with our customers and other business relationships. Furthermore, we may decide to postpone or cancel planned investments in our business in response to changes in our business as a result of the spread of Covid 19, which may impact our product development, sales efforts and rate of growth, any of which could seriously harm our business.

In addition, while the potential impact and duration of the Covid 19 pandemic on the global economy and our business in particular may be difficult to assess or predict, the pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity in the future. Moreover, to the extent the Covid 19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

The global impact of Covid 19 continues to rapidly evolve, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely. The ultimate impact of the Covid 19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. While the spread of Covid 19 may eventually be contained or mitigated, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak of this or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could seriously harm our business.

If the market for QDs develops slower than we expect or declines, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The QD market is not as mature as the commercial applications of the technology are still being developed. It is uncertain whether QDs will achieve and sustain high levels of customer demand and market acceptance. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the widespread adoption of QDs. Many enterprises have invested substantial personnel and financial resources to traditional electronic components in their businesses and therefore may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to QDs. It is difficult to predict customer adoption rates and demand for our products, the future growth rate and size of the QD market, or the entry of competitive technologies. The development and expansion of the QD market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance, and perceived value associated with QDs. If we or other QD manufacturers experience disruptions in delivery or technical performance problems, the market for QDs as a whole, including our products, may be negatively affected. If QDs do not achieve widespread adoption or there is a reduction in demand for QDs caused by a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, competing technologies and products, reductions in corporate spending, or otherwise, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our future success depends upon our ability to compete in the marketplace.

The commercial QD industry is relatively young and undeveloped, with a number of small competitors attempting to establish themselves in different segments employing one or more competitive strategies. Competition among these companies is based on product quality and performance characteristics, volume, price and continuing research development and product improvements. We are subject to other competitive risks of early stage and commercial businesses generally, and of advanced technology businesses in particular, including competing in an environment where other companies may be better financed or have more experience than us.

We have entered into a number of non-disclosures agreements (“NDAs”) and material transfer agreements with several product manufacturers as well as others. No assurances can be given that sales, joint venture agreements and/or license agreements will result from these agreements.

In the past several years, we have entered into a number of NDAs and material transfer agreements with several product manufacturers in different industries, as well as universities and independent research laboratories. In most cases, the NDAs with manufacturers are for exploring joint development of specific products or applications. No assurances can be given that the non-disclosure agreements and sample supply agreements entered into by us as described above will result in sales of our products.

Our ongoing research and development functions present significant challenges.

Quantum dot technology continues to evolve, with new discoveries and refinements being made on an ongoing basis. We have concentrated our research and development efforts on the design, development, production and supply of nanomaterials, including QDs, TQDs and other nanoparticles. We are likely to recognize the costs associated with these investments earlier than some of the anticipated benefits, and the return on these investments may be lower, or may develop more slowly, than we expect. If we do not achieve the benefits anticipated from these investments, or if the achievement of these benefits is delayed, we may not be able to produce or sell our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

The QDX Ledger relies on software and programming that is complex, and if it contains undetected errors, the QDX Ledger could be adversely affected.

The QDX Ledger relies on software and computer programming that is highly complex. In addition, the QDX Ledger and internal systems depend on the ability of this software to store, retrieve, process and manage immense amounts of data and digital media content. Errors or other bugs or defects within the software on which QDX Ledger depends may result in delay introductions of new features or enhancements, result in errors or compromise our ability to perform the functions for which it was developed. Any errors, bugs or defects discovered in the software on which the QDX Ledger depends could therefore result in harm to our reputation, loss of users, loss of revenue, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect the QDX Ledger, subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position and/or adversely affect sales of our products and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity and results of operations.

Misconduct and errors by our employees and third-party service providers, or by users and developers on the QDX Ledger, could harm our network and reputation.

The QDX Ledger may be exposed to many types of operational risk, including the risk of misconduct and errors by our employees, consultants, former employees and consultants, and other third-party service providers, third party validators or by users on the QDX Ledger. Participants on the QDX Ledger who we do not control could be in a position to handle large amounts of sensitive and potentially proprietary data, whose exposure could result in significant liability. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct or errors by employees, consultants or third-party service providers, and we cannot control third-party users on the QDX Ledger. The precautions we intend to take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses. Any of these occurrences could result in our diminished ability to operate our business and develop the QDX Ledger, potential liability to our company, inability to attract future users, reputational damage to the QDX Ledger and our company, regulatory intervention and financial harm, which could negatively impact the QDX Ledger, the growth of the QDX Ledger and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity and results of operations.

The QDX Ledger may face the risk that one or more of its competitors, or other third parties, may obtain patents or other protections covering technology critical to the operation of the QDX Ledger.

We believe that a number of organizations are or may be working to develop decentralized application systems for anti-counterfeiting and other novel technologies that may be competitive with our own technology. Some or all of these organizations, including organizations that may have technology similar to us, may have substantially greater technological expertise, experience with blockchain technologies and/or financial resources than our company has, and many of them may be attempting to patent technologies that may be competitive with or similar to our technology, or attempting to reverse engineer our technology, which may be possible as a substantial portion of the software underlying the QDX Ledger is open source software that is generally available to the public and described in publicly available whitepapers. We do not have access to detailed information about the technologies these organizations may be attempting to patent. The QDX Ledger may ultimately compete with these alternative networks, which could negatively impact the QDX Ledger and may prevent the further development of QDX Ledger. Further, occasionally, we may be targeted with patent infringement lawsuits.

If one or more other persons, companies or organizations obtains a valid patent covering technology critical to the QDX Ledger, we might be unwilling or unable on commercially reasonable terms to license the technology and it could become impossible for the QDX Ledger to operate, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and the QDX Ledger.

The QDX Ledger may be vulnerable to risks, both foreseen and unforeseen, arising from the new and untested nature of blockchain technology.

Blockchain technology, which is sometimes referred to as “distributed ledger technology,” is a relatively new, untested and evolving technology. Accordingly, the further development and future viability of blockchain technology is generally uncertain, and practical and ideological challenges, both known and unknown, may prevent its further development.

The slowing or stopping of the development or acceptance of blockchain networks and blockchain assets would have an adverse material effect on the successful adoption of the QDX Ledger.

The growth of the blockchain industry in general is subject to a high degree of uncertainty regarding customer adoption and long-term development. The factors affecting the further development of the blockchain industry, as well as blockchain networks, include, without limitation:

The blockchain industry as a whole has been characterized by rapid changes and innovations and is constantly evolving. Although it has experienced significant growth in recent years, the slowing or stopping of the development, general acceptance and adoption and usage of blockchain networks may deter or delay the acceptance and adoption of the QDX Ledger.

The QDX Ledger has been developed by key technology employees of Capstan Platform, Inc. and its affiliates, and their operation and further development depend on the continued availability of those key employees.

We acquired the blockchain-based assets of Capstan Platform, Inc. in August 2019. Capstan’s Co-Founder and CTO, Jay M. Williams, has joined our leadership team as CTO, and other Capstan employees have been engaged as consultants for us to continue our blockchain development. The QDX Ledger and any related protocol used that may be developed in the future, including technology and intellectual property involved in their creation and operation, has been or will be, as applicable, developed primarily by a small number of key technology employees and consultants of our company. The loss of the services of any of those key persons could have a material adverse effect on our ability to develop, operate or maintain the QDX Ledger because the skillset required to successfully develop blockchain is rare. If we were to lose the services of any these key persons, it could be difficult or impossible to replace them, and the loss of any of them could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial conditions.

Our proprietary rights may be difficult to enforce.

We generally rely on patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secret laws to establish and maintain proprietary rights in our technology and products. Although we hold several patents and other patent applications are currently pending, there can be no assurance that any of these patents or other proprietary rights will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented or that our rights will, in fact, provide competitive advantages to us. In addition, there can be no assurance that patents will be issued from pending applications or that claims allowed on any patents will be sufficiently broad to protect our technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States. The outcome of any actions taken in these foreign countries may be different than if such actions were determined under the laws of the United States. If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights to the totality of the features (including aspects of products protected other than by patent rights) in a market, we may find ourselves at a competitive disadvantage to others who need not incur the substantial expense, time and effort required to create innovative products that have enabled us to be successful.

We may be found to infringe on intellectual property rights of others.

Third parties may assert claims or initiate litigation related to exclusive patent, copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property rights to technologies and related standards that are relevant to us. The asserted claims and/or initiated litigation can include claims against us or our manufacturers, suppliers, or customers, alleging infringement of their proprietary rights with respect to our existing or future products or components of those products. Regardless of the merit of these claims, they can be time-consuming, result in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel, or require us to develop a non-infringing technology or enter into license agreements. Where claims are made by customers, resistance even to unmeritorious claims could damage customer relationships. There can be no assurance that licenses will be available on acceptable terms and conditions, if at all, or that any arrangements with our suppliers will be available or adequate to cover our costs if a claim were brought directly against us or our customers. Furthermore, because of the potential for high court awards that are not necessarily predictable, it is not unusual to find even arguably unmeritorious claims settled for significant amounts. If any infringement or other intellectual property claim made against us by any third party is successful, if we are required to indemnify a customer with respect to a claim against the customer, or if we fail to develop non-infringing technology or license the proprietary rights on commercially reasonable terms and conditions, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

We rely on the availability of third-party licenses.

Much of our technology includes intellectual property licensed from third parties, including our license with the University of Arizona. It may be necessary in the future to seek or renew licenses relating to various aspects of these items. There can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on acceptable terms, if at all. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition. Moreover, the inclusion in our products of intellectual property licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis could limit our ability to protect our proprietary rights in our products.

Our business is subject to environmental and other regulations.

Our business is subject to various types of government regulations, including regulation of hazardous materials used in or produced by the manufacture or use of nanomaterials, the manufacture, transportation and export of chemical substances, and the restrictions on the chemical composition of QDs used in the various applications. These laws, regulations and standards impose numerous obligations that are applicable to our operations. Failure to comply with environmental laws, regulations, standards, permits and orders may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial obligations, and the issuance of injunctions limiting or preventing some or all of our operations. Certain environmental laws impose strict liability for the remediation of spills and releases of oil and hazardous substances that could subject us to liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault. In addition, changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any such changes that result in more stringent and costly requirements with respect to our operations could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial results.

As we grow, we will need to obtain and retain additional qualified management and personnel.

We have traditionally operated with limited resources and infrastructure. As of the date of this report, we have a total of thirty-one employees, including our management team. We believe our success will depend in large part on our ability to attract and retain highly skilled administrative, technical, managerial, sales, and marketing personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially in Austin, Texas. Our financial condition or volatility or lack of positive performance in our stock price or equity incentive awards may also adversely affect our ability to hire and retain key employees. As a result of one or more of these factors, we may increase our hiring or otherwise enter into arrangements in geographic areas outside the United States, which could subject us to additional geopolitical and exchange rate risk. The loss of services of any of our key personnel; the inability to retain and attract qualified personnel in the future; or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly engineering and sales personnel, could make it difficult to meet key objectives, such as timely and effective product development, manufacturing and sales.

Our future success depends on our ability to develop our manufacturing capacity. If we are unable to achieve our capacity expansion goals, it would limit our growth potential and impair our operating results and financial condition.

In the future, we may seek to establish large scale production facilities. Our ability to complete the planning, construction and equipping of large scale manufacturing facilities is subject to significant risk and uncertainty, including:

If we are unable to develop and successfully operate manufacturing facilities, or if we encounter any of the risks described above, we may be unable to scale our business to the extent necessary to improve results of operations and achieve profitability. Moreover, there can be no assurance that if we do expand our manufacturing capacity that we will be able to generate customer demand for our QD products at these production levels or that we will increase our revenues or achieve profitability.

We may be unable to effectively manage the expansion of our operations.

We expect to expand our business in order to satisfy anticipated demand for our QDs and obtain market share. To manage the development and expansion of our operations, we will be required to improve our operational and financial systems, procedures and controls and to expand, train and manage a larger employee base. Our management will also be required to maintain and expand our relationships with customers, distribution partners, suppliers and other third parties and to attract new customers, distribution partners and suppliers. In addition, our current and planned operations, personnel, systems and internal procedures and controls might be inadequate to support our future growth. If we cannot manage our growth effectively, we may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities, execute our business strategies or respond to competitive pressures, and our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Technological changes in the QDs and end-user industries could render our products uncompetitive or obsolete.

The nanotechnology market is rapidly evolving and competitive, characterized by continually changing technology requiring improved features. We will need to invest significant financial resources in research and development to keep pace with technological advances in the industry and to effectively compete in the future. A variety of competing technologies are under development by other companies that could result in lower manufacturing costs or higher product performance than those expected for our products. Our failure to further refine our technology and develop and introduce new products could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Our success will depend on our ability to successfully grow our distribution relationships and distribution channels.

If we are unable to develop successfully our distribution relationships and distribution channels, our revenues and future prospects will be materially harmed. As we seek to enter into commercial production of our products, our business plan will depend substantially on our ability to establish and expand our distribution channels by identifying, developing and maintaining relationships with product manufacturers and resellers. For example, in February 2020, we entered into a marketing consulting and distribution agreement with QMVT Vertical Markets, LLC to assist in building a marketing and sales force to operate in parallel with our research and development capabilities. We may be unable to enter into these relationships in the markets we target or on terms and conditions favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to sell our products into new markets or to further penetrate existing markets for QDs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, if we enter into sales and marketing relationships that are not successful, our sales and distribution could suffer and it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our sales, marketing and distribution plans may substantially rely on the efforts and abilities of third parties and such plans may not be successful.

We intend to sell our products to product manufacturers, domestic and international distributors, and other resellers. We expect to collaborate closely with a number of manufacturers and distributors, both domestically and internationally. These resellers are expected to range from large, multinational corporations to small, development-stage companies to private-public partnerships with governmental entities. Our sales, marketing and distribution plans may substantially rely on the efforts and abilities of these third parties and such plans may not be successful. Our failure to successfully choose, collaborate with and monitor our resellers could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity and results of operations.

We anticipate facing risks associated with the international marketing, distribution and sale of our products, and if we are unable to effectively manage these risks, it could impair our ability to develop and expand our business.

We expect that significant resources will be required to develop successfully our international sales channels. In addition, the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of our products outside the United States expose us to a number of markets in which we have limited experience. If we are unable to manage effectively these risks, it could impair our ability to grow our business abroad. These risks include:

International operations may also result in greater shipping costs and additional expenses to conform our products to the requirements of local laws or local product specifications. As we develop our international business, our success will depend, in large part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our international operations. For example, we have experienced extraordinary delays in constructing the facilities in India due to flooding and the Covid 19 pandemic. Our failure to manage any of these risks successfully could harm our international operations, reduce or delay our international sales, result in fines and penalties and have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, liquidity and results of operations.

Our success in the future may depend on our ability to establish and maintain strategic alliances, and any failure on our part to establish and maintain such relationships could adversely affect our market penetration and revenue growth.

Our ability to establish strategic relationships will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control, such as the competitive position of our technology and our products relative to our competitors. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to establish strategic relationships successfully. In addition, strategic alliances that we may establish, will subject us to a number of risks, including risks associated with sharing proprietary information and loss of control of operations that are material to our business and profit-sharing arrangements. Moreover, strategic alliances may be expensive to implement, require us to issue additional shares of our common stock and subject us to the risk that the third party will not perform its obligations pursuant to the arrangement, which may subject us to losses over which we have no control or expensive termination arrangements.

Due to financial and experience constraints, we expect to rely on strategic relationships to develop our business, including those relating to product development, manufacturing, marketing and sales. Identifying and developing strategic alliance candidates is expensive and time-consuming. In addition, these arrangements may leave us vulnerable to capacity constraints and reduced component availability, and our control over customer relationships, product delivery schedules, manufacturing and costs would be limited. In addition, we may have limited control over quality systems and controls, and therefore must rely on our relationships to manufacture our products to our quality and performance standards and specifications. Delays, component shortages, including custom components that are manufactured for us at our direction, and other manufacturing and supply problems, could impair the manufacture and distribution of our products and ultimately our company’s reputation. Furthermore, any adverse change in the financial or business condition of our strategic alliance counterparts could disrupt our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our products. If we are required to change our strategic alliance counterparts or bring those functions in-house, we may lose revenue, incur increased costs, and damage our relationships with other customers and strategic alliances.

Compliance with occupational safety and health requirements and best practices can be costly, and noncompliance with such requirements may result in potentially significant monetary penalties and adverse publicity.

We expect our manufacturing operations and research and development activities to involve the use of mechanical equipment which involves a risk of potential injury to our employees. These operations are subject to regulation under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”). If we fail to comply with OSHA requirements, or if an employee injury occurs, we may be required to pay substantial penalties, incur significant capital expenditures, suspend or limit production or cease operations. Also, any such violations, employee injuries or failure to comply with industry best practices may subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position and/or adversely affect sales of our products.

Our business and financial results may be adversely affected by various legal and regulatory proceedings.

We are, and in the future may become, subject to lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings in the normal course of our business, such as our ongoing litigation with SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1, and L2 Capital, LLC. Some of these legal and regulatory proceeds could be material. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. As a result, future adverse rulings, settlements, or unfavorable developments could result in charges that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition in any particular period. For additional information regarding certain of the matters in which we are involved, see Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled “Litigation.”

Product liability claims against us could result in adverse publicity and potentially significant monetary damages.

Like other retailers, distributors and manufacturers of products that are used by consumers, we will face the risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products we sell results in injury. Since some of our products may be used in electricity producing devices, it is possible that consumers could be injured by our products, whether by product malfunctions, defects, improper installation or other causes. In addition, since the products we are developing incorporate new technologies and use new installation methods, we cannot predict whether or not product liability claims will be brought against us in the future or the effect of any resulting adverse publicity on our business. We intend to rely on our general liability insurance to cover product liability claims and currently do not expect to obtain separate product liability insurance. The successful assertion of product liability claims against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages and if our insurance protection is inadequate to cover these claims, such claims could require us to make significant payments. Also, any product liability claims and any adverse outcomes with respect thereto may subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position and/or adversely affect sales of our products.

We have significant deferred tax assets, and any impairments of or valuation allowances against these deferred tax assets in the future could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We intend to use significant deferred tax assets to offset income. The extent to which we can use deferred tax assets may be limited for various reasons, including but not limited to changes in tax rules or regulations and if projected future taxable income becomes insufficient to recognize the full benefit of our net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards prior to their expiration. Additionally, our ability to fully use these tax assets will also be adversely affected if we have an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An ownership change is generally defined as a greater than 50% increase in equity ownership by “5% stockholders” (as that term is defined for purposes of Section 382) in any three-year period. Future changes in our stock ownership, depending on the magnitude, including the purchase or sale of our common stock by 5% stockholders, and issuances or redemptions of common stock by us, could result in an ownership change that would trigger the imposition of limitations under Section 382. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that in the future we will not experience limitations with respect to recognizing the benefits of our NOL carryforwards and other tax attributes for which limitations could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. With current financing arrangements being pursued, we expect the Section 382 limitation to be materially limited.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting may adversely impact our company.

As discussed in Part II, Item 9A, entitled “Controls and Procedures,” in this report, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. The material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of timely and effective review of our period-end closing process and adequate personnel and resources.

We are currently working to remediate the material weakness. We cannot be sure when we will successfully remediate the material weakness or whether compensating controls will be effective in preventing or detecting material errors. The remediation may require substantial time and resources to successfully implement. We may be unable to remediate this weakness until we have received additional funding that may be necessary to hire additional personnel. In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. Until we have sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, we plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment, and internal controls systematically. This material weakness could cause creditors, customers, investors, regulators, strategic alliances and others to lose confidence in the effectiveness of our internal controls and the accuracy of our financial statements and other information, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the federal securities laws, which can be expensive.

We are a public reporting company in the United States and therefore, we are subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and other federal securities laws, and the compliance obligations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The costs of preparing and filing annual and quarterly reports and other information with the SEC will cause our expenses to be higher than they would be if we were a privately-held company.

The issuance or sale of equity, convertible or exchangeable securities in the market, or the perception of such future sales or issuances, could lead to a decline in the price, if any, of our common stock.

Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 750,000,000 shares of our common stock. Any issuance of equity or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our equity securities, including for the purposes of expansion of our business, may have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders.

The perceived risk associated with the possible issuance of a large number of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exchange for a large number of shares of our common stock could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline. Subsequent sales of our common stock in the open market or the private placement of our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock could also have an adverse effect on the market price, if any, of our shares. If our stock price declines, it may be more difficult for us to or we may be unable to raise additional capital.

Over the course of meeting our capital needs, we have entered into various debentures and debt instruments, which generally have short maturity terms. Many of these instruments were accompanied by shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, property or services, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. Also, any stock we sell in the future may be valued on an arbitrary basis by us and the issuance of shares of common stock for future services, acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

Future sales of substantial amounts of our currently outstanding common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing trading prices of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity or equity-related securities. We cannot predict what effect, if any, future sales of our common stock, or the availability of shares for future sales, will have on the market price of our stock.

We may experience volatility in our stock price, which could negatively affect your investment, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the offering price.

Our common stock is not traded on an established trading market or exchange. There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to be, or be admitted to, trade on any established trading market or exchange. Additionally, there can be no assurance that if our common stock is admitted to a trading market or exchange, we will maintain the requirements for continued listing or trading.

Our common stock may not be traded actively. An illiquid market for shares of our common stock may result in lower trading prices and increased volatility, which could negatively affect the value of your investment or your ability to sell your shares. If an active trading market does develop, it may not last and the trading price of the shares may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

We anticipate that our operating expenses will continue to increase significantly, particularly as we begin production and develop our internal infrastructure to support our anticipated growth. If our product revenues in any quarter do not increase correspondingly, our net losses for that period will increase. Moreover, given that a significant portion of our operating expenses cannot be quickly reduced, if we cannot obtain revenues from operations or our product revenues are delayed or below expectations, our operating results are likely to be adversely and disproportionately affected.

The stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of companies’ stock, including ours, regardless of actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This type of litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would harm our business, operating results or financial condition.

We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on or repurchase any shares of our common stock.

We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that our board of directors deems relevant. Cash dividend payments in the future may only be made out of legally available funds and, if we experience substantial losses, such funds may not be available. Accordingly, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock in order to generate cash flow from your investment and there is no guarantee that the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market after this offering may never exceed the price paid by you in this offering.

Because our shares are deemed “penny stock,” you may have difficulty selling them in the secondary trading market.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Additionally, if the equity security is not registered or authorized on a national securities exchange, the equity security also would constitute a “penny stock.” As our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock, these regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving our common stock, of a risk disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Disclosure is also required to be made regarding compensation payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. In addition, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks. The ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of stockholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market may be limited. As a result, the market liquidity for our common stock may be severely and adversely affected. We can provide no assurance that trading in our common stock will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future, which would negatively affect the market for our common stock.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments

Not applicable.

Item 2. Properties

In June 2013, we opened a Wet Lab facility and principal executive office in San Marcos, Texas for research and development and the production of QDs and other nanomaterials. The facility where the Company is located is owned by Texas State University. In June 2015, the Company moved into a larger lab space in the same facility. As of June 30, 2017, our monthly rent for the San Marcos facility and office was $9,075. We recentlyhave decreased our laboratory and office space subsequent to the original agreement at the San Marcos facility, and as of the date of this Form 10-K, our monthly rent is $4,538.$5,813.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company was served in Hays County, Texas in a complaint for breach of contract in February 2017. In April 2017, the Company settled this complaint for $129,000 payable over a four-month period. As of the filing date of this Form 10-K, the balance in arrears is approximately $53,000 plus interest and other charges which has been accrued at June 30, 2018.2019. The Company repaid $237,300 in principal plus interest to L2 Capital LLC and $101,700 plus interest to SBI Investments LLC on September 30, 2017, and $149,555 plus interest to L2 Capital LLC and $64,095 plus interest to SBI Investments LLC on November 3, 2017, respectively.

CAUSE NUMBER 17-2033; Hays County, Texas

Two lenders, SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1, and L2 Capital, LLC, asked the Company’ transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., to set aside fifty-million (50,000,000) shares of stock as collateral for four loan agreements the Company had entered into in late March 2017. This joint request occurred despite the fact that or about September 30, 2017 Quantum had repaid $339,000 (plus accrued interest of $10,170) on two of the loans. Subsequently, in November 2017, the Company also repaid $213,650 and $8,636 of accrued interest on two of the remaining loans on their due dates.

Quantum filed suit for an injunction to stop the release of the stock on September 28, 2017. The two lenders, SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1 (SBI), and L2 Capital, LLC (L2), hired the national law firm of K&L Gates to stop the injunction; problematically, this same firm had previously represented the Company. The Company filed a motion to disqualify the law firm for that conflict, and they subsequently withdrew.

SBI and L2, with new counsel, and Cleveland Terrazas PLLC, brought suit against the Company on October 10, 2017 for $1.5 million on the four notes that had been repaid and were not in actual default, though SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1, and L2 Capital, LLC claimed technical defaults. The court in Hays County granted the Company’s temporary injunction and set the full case for trial. The next day, SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1, and L2 Capital, LLC dismissed their suit against the Company and refiled similar actions in Kansas and Florida on the notes claiming that one note was paid on a Monday when it was due on a Sunday, demanding late payment in stock (they refused cash), and another was paid on a Friday when it was due Saturday, claiming a pre-payment penalty. All three suits are related to the same transactions. The lenders claimclaimed 140% interest, attorney’s fees, 20 million shares of stock, and damages. The Company maintains all loans have been paid timely.

The Company denies allcase has been dismissed as of the above-mentioned allegations and will vigorously defend all claims.date of this report.

CAUSE NUMBER: 17CV06093; Johnson County, Kansas

The Kansas lawsuit, instituted on October 30, 2017, is based on the same nucleus of facts. The putative default is the failure to properly and timely file a Form S-1 with the SEC. Three causes of action are alleged: the first is breach of contracts regarding the Registration Rights Agreement against the Company; the second claim is for breach of contract of the first L2 promissory note against the Company; the final claim is for breach of contract regarding the second L2 promissory note against both the Company and Stephen Squires, individually. The claims against Squires individually were abandoned.  Trial was conducted October 13^th, 2020.  Final arguments were submitted in writing to the court February 2021.  The court has not yet ruled.

The Company denies all the above-mentioned allegations and will vigorously defend all claims.

CAUSE NUMBER: 2017-025283-CA-01; Miami-Dade County, Florida

The Florida lawsuit, instituted on October 30, 2017, largely mirrors the suit in Kansas; defaults are alleged as follows:

On July 6, 2017, the Company filed a revised Form 10-Q/A report (the Report) with the SEC, restating its financial statements. In comparison to the unrestated financial statement previously filed by the Company, SBI alleged that the Revised Report materially and adversely affects SBI’s rights with respect to the notes, constituting a breach of each of the notes. Furthermore, because each note contains a cross-default clause, SBI alleged that each of the Company’s breaches of a specific note also constituted a breach of every other note.

On July 27, 2017, the Company’s auditor resigned, and the Company replaced its auditor without seeking or obtaining the consent of SBI. SBI alleged that this replacement of the Company’s auditor constituted a breach of the SBI notes, and because each note contains a cross-default clause, of every other note.

The Company denies all of the above-mentioned allegations and will vigorously defend all claims.

The case was reheard in late March 2018 and a 45-day continuance was decided resulting in an April 30, 2018 rehearing. After a day of litigation in San Marcos, the Company’s motion to enjoin L2 and SBI and prevent them from obtaining stock before a full trial on the merits was granted on October 27, 2017, by Judge Gary Steel. L2 and SBI objected to the injunction and appealed to the Third Court of Appeals in Austin, TX. On March 8, 2018, in a unanimous opinion, the Third Court of Appeals denied the appeal, sustained the injunction in favor of the Company and awarded costs of court.

On March 29, 2018, at a discovery hearing, wherein the Company asked the court to order L2 and SBI to produce evidence to support their positions, L2 and SBI requested and received a stay of litigation, postponing the trial date of April 2018, which they had previously requested, and also postponing discovery until rulings in Florida and Kansas, or until further order of the court. The court also announced that when Florida and Kansas have spoken, discovery will be expedited. A jurisdiction hearing for the Florida case on August 15, 2018 resulted in the lawsuit being dismissed and a hearing is scheduled in Kansas in April 2019.

The Company expects to successful in the L2 and SBI litigation. The ultimate outcome is not determinable and as such, no liability has been recorded for this contingent liability at June 30, 2018.2019.

CAUSE NUMBER: PSC190273; Riverside California

Edward James Schloss filed a complaint against Quantum Materials Corp. and Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. alleging financial elder abuse, fraud, breach of written contract, breach of oral contract, constructive termination, retaliation, failure to pay wages, waiting time penalties, failure to permit inspection of employee records, unfair competition, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and failure to indemnify employee expenses. Mr. Schloss was a former officer of Quantum who later became a contractor to the company after his dismissal.  The Company acknowledges Mr. Schloss is owed some fees but expects to be successful in resolving the litigation.  The ultimate outcome is not determinable and as such, other than unpaid accrued contractor and/or prior salary fees, no contingent liability has been recorded at June 30, 2019.

CAUSE NUMBER: 19-2774; Hays County Texas

This litigation filed November 12, 2019 in Hays County (San Marcos) alleged misappropriation of trade secrets and related claims based on Quantum Material Corp’s (“QMC” or “Company”) hiring of a previous employee of the Plaintiff (Practice Interactive, Inc. d/b/a Intiva Health “Intiva”). Intiva initiated the case by securing a no-notice temporary restraining order against the Company and the employee (“Hartigan”).

At a temporary injunction hearing in December 2019, the court granted a limited injunction against Hartigan and found that it should not enjoin the Company. The court set the bond at $50,000: Intiva never took action to post the bond; thus, the injunction never went into effect. The order also set the case for trial in July 2021. We believe that trial will most likely not go forward in July. Although the parties agreed in December that discovery can move forward without a firm trial date, Intiva has propounded no discovery or taken any other substantive action since then. Counsel for Intiva recently changed firms, a fact that we believed contributed to his client taking no action of late. He filed a change-of-firm notice with the Court recently, and we anticipate there will soon be activity in the case.

CAUSE NUMBER: 18-2393; Hays County, Texas

The current litigation with K&L Gates was pending before the Texas Supreme Court. It was awaiting a ruling to determine if the strong opinion at the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin in favor of Quantum Materials will be reversed. The state Supreme Court on Oct 15, 2020 declined to take the interlocutory appeal. The case has now been sent back to Hays County for a jury trial.

Quantum Materials retained K&L Gates (“Gates”) on a myriad of issues. As part of that representation, a lawyer from Gates sat in on confidential board meetings and participated in the company’s most important negotiations, including but not limited to a new contract with the founder and former CEO, Steve Squires, to become CEO again. Gates billed a very substantial fee in a very short period of time. Over $300,000. Before negotiations occurred on what Squires believed to be an excessive bill, SBI Investments and L2, creditors of Quantum Materials, demanded that the transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer, transfer huge amounts of stock as collateral for loans.

Quantum Materials sued Empire to prevent this transfer, first winning a Temporary Restraining Order, then a Temporary Injunction, and finally, after an appeal to the 3rd Court of Appeals in Austin, an appellate victory.

Before that appellate victory and before the Injunction trial, K&L Gates entered an appearance for SBI Investments and L2, even though they were still under contract with Quantum Materials as intervenors. Quantum Materials objected and raised objections to their firm, entering an appearance against them. K&L Gates forced substantial research, and briefs to be filed before withdrawing before the Temporary Injunction trial. (see TRO, TI order, appellate opinion.)

Either K&L Gates shared all information with their “new” client, to the disadvantage of their “old” client, a duty under full disclosure, or they didn’t share. Gates claimed that the contract with Quantum Materials waived all conflicts.

Following up on the actions begun by Gates on behalf of SBI Investments and L2, the suit by Gates against Quantum Materials was dismissed in Texas, and another law firm sued Quantum Materials in both Florida and Kansas. In Florida, the case was ultimately dismissed, and legal fees were ordered to be paid to Quantum Materials. Much of the Kansas case has been dismissed, but the balance is set to be tried in Kansas in October. (see the report on Kansas case.)

Ultimately, Quantum Materials sued K&L Gates for fiduciary violations and Deceptive Trade Practices and other claims (see suit), and Gates filed a counterclaim for its $300,000 in alleged fees. Gates filed an action to dismiss the case, called a “SLAPP” action, and after a hearing on the merits in Hays county, lost. Gates then appealed to the 3rd court of appeals in Austin, and after briefing and oral argument, again lost. Gates has now appealed its most recent defeat to the Texas Supreme Court.

Item 5. Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

Our common stock has traded in the over-the-counter marketplace on the OTCQB under the symbol “QTMM” since October 12, 2018. Previously, our common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace from November 2017 to October 2018 and on the OTCQB previous to November 2017.

As of October 9, 2018,March 12, 2021, the issuer had 456,727,981693,367,942 shares of common stock outstanding and 239held by 245 stockholders of record according to our transfer agent.record.

The following table sets forth the high and low bid information for the most recent two fiscal years.periods indicated. These quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

Historically we have not paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the Board of Directors intends to retain all of our earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. There can be no assurance that our operations will prove profitable to the extent necessary to pay cash dividends. Moreover, even if such profits are achieved, the future dividend policy will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.

Issuer Sales of Unregistered Securities

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference.

Business Overview

We are a nanotechnology company specializing in the design, development, production and supply of nanomaterials, including quantum dots (“QDs”), tetrapod quantum dots (“TQDs”), and other nanoparticles for a range of applications in televisions, displays and other optoelectronics, photovoltaics, solid state lighting, life sciences, security ink, battery, and sensor sectors of the market. Our wholly-ownedwholly owned operating subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”), is focused on the next generation photovoltaic (solar cell) market, using quantum dot semiconductors.

QDs are nanoscale semiconductor crystals typically between 10 and 100 atoms in diameter. Approximately 10,000 would fit across the diameter of a human hair. Their small size makes it possible for them to exhibit certain quantum mechanical properties. QDs emit either photons or electrons when excited. In the case of photons, the wavelength (color) of light emitted varies depending on the composition and size of the quantum dot. As such, the photonic emissions can be tuned by the creation of QDs of different types and/or sizes. Their unique properties as highly efficient, next generation semiconductors have led to the use of QDs in a range of electronic and other applications, in the display and lighting industries. QDs also have applications in solar cells, where their characteristics enable conversion of light energy into electricity with the potential for significantly higher efficiencies and lower costs than existing technologies, thereby creating the opportunity for a step change in the solar energy industry through the use of QDs in printed photovoltaic cells.

QDs were first discovered in the early 1980s and the industry has developed to the point where QDs are now being used in an increasing range of applications, including televisions and displays, light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting (also known as solid-state lighting), and in the biomedical industry. LG, Samsung, and other companies have recently launched new televisions using QDs to enhance the picture color quality and power efficiency. A number of major lighting companies are developing product applications using QDs to create a more natural light for LEDs. The biomedical industry is using QDs in diagnostic and therapeutic applications; and applications are being developed to print highly efficient photovoltaic solar cells in mass quantities at a low cost.

A key challenge for the quantum dot industry has been and may continue to be its ability to scale up production volumes sufficiently to meet growing demand for QDs while maintaining product quality and consistency and reducing the overall costs of supply to stimulate new applications.

Plan of Operation

We currently operate from a leased facility in San Marcos, Texas at the STAR Park Technology Center, an extension of Texas State University (the “San Marcos Facility”). This location provides us with convenient access to university faculty and specialized laboratory facilities that can support joint research and development efforts with Texas State University. Located approximately 30 miles south of Austin, Texas, this location is also in close proximity to a number of leading companies in the electronics, lighting, solar, and life sciences markets. We intend to relocate the operations to a larger facility capable of accommodating the manufacturing of QD processing equipment once sustained revenues are achieved.

The Company has established commercial-scale manufacturing equipment at the San Marcos facility and now through process optimizations has the capacity to produce more than four metric tons (4,000kg) per year of quantum dots and other nanomaterials for supply to its customers. Management believes thatThe Company has continuously improved the Quantum Dot production capacity of the San Marcos facility is similar to, or greater than its largest competitors’ operating factories which are much larger and required significantly higher capital expenditures. This efficiency is the direct result of our patented continuous flow process and proprietary manufacturing knowhow and equipment. While we plan to work extensively with its current provider of equipment, we own all rights to the designs and intellectual property resultinghave designed new reactors from the developmentground up. The Company is in the process is building 4 new reactors in-house using its own design and could contract with one or more other competent suppliers of equipment, if necessary.I.P. In order to preserve this I.P. the Company has determined that it will be manufacturing micro-reactors in-house for the foreseeable future.

We expect to commence generating revenues from the production of materials at the San Marcos facility in early calendar year 2019.facility. Such revenues are expected to be modest at first and will be dependent upon our ability to generate purchase orders from development partners and licensees.

Our marketing strategy is to engage in strategic arrangements with manufacturers, distributors, and others to jointly develop applications using its patented continuous production process. Such joint collaborations will involve us working closely with its industry counterparts to optimize the performance of our materials in each application or device and to use the results from product development and testing to further enhance product specifications. We continue to collaborate with a number of partners in the display industry.Life Science, consumer goods, Pharma and designer products industries. We have signed a licensing agreement to establish quantum dot production in Asia and we are currently awaiting receipt of the upfront license fee before commencing work. Toto date, we have not entered into any formal commercial supply agreements.

We believe these collaborations will support our internal research and development activities which will continue to be a primary part our business. Our principal revenue streams are expected to come from (i) Licensing agreements for our quantum dot enabled end to end solutions. (ii) sales of quantum dots and other nanomaterials, (ii) royalties from manufacture and/or sales of products and components by third parties incorporating the Company’s products or technology, (iii) milestone payments under joint development arrangements with product developers and manufacturers, and (iv) fees where we engage in licensing/sublicensingsub-licensing arrangements for our owned and/or licensed technology. (v) Fees from app deployment and usage.

Our ongoing research and development functions are considered key to maintaining and enhancing its competitive position in the growing nanomaterials and quantum dot market. Nanomaterial and quantum dot technology continues to evolve, with new discoveries and refinements being made on an ongoing basis. We intend to be at the forefront of technological development and intend to focus a significant part of our efforts on this, as we have done historically. Continuing R&D activities at the San Marcos facility and our collaboration with Texas State University, UA, and the numerous other research centers and departments with which we have relationships will be important aspects of our strategy.

Solterra plans to utilize QMC’s patented low-cost, high-volume quantum dot production combined with the Bayer quantum dot solar cell patents to commercialize quantum dot solar cells at a cost that is competitive with conventional fossil fuel generation on an unsubsidized basis.

Our business is subject to various types of government regulations, including restrictions on the chemical composition of nanomaterials used in life sciences and other sensitive applications, the manufacture, transportation and export of chemical substances, and the regulation of hazardous materials used in or produced by the manufacture or use of QDs. Management believes the patented (owned and licensed) processes and proprietary manufacturing equipment employed allow us to comply with current regulations. However, new regulations or requirements may develop which could adversely affect the Company or its products in the future. See “Risk Factors” section.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our judgments and estimates in determining our financial condition and operating results. Estimates are based upon information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates, sometimes materially. Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and operating results and require management’s most subjective judgments often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters inherently uncertain. The most critical accounting policies and estimates are described below.

Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.”

The Company recognizes revenue when product has been deliveredits customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. The five-step model is applied to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services transferred to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract and determine those that are performance obligations and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize revenue in the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Title and risk of loss has passedgenerally pass to our customers upon shipment. In limited circumstances where either title or risk of loss pass upon destination, we defer revenue recognition until such events occur. The transaction price is allocated to the customer, collection ofseparate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices are typically estimated based on observable transactions when these services are sold on a standalone basis. For the resulting receivable is reasonably assured, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,years ended June 30, 2019 and the fee is fixed or determinable. The assessment of whether the fee is fixed or determinable considers whether a significant portion of the fee is due after normal payment terms. If it is determined that the fee is not fixed or determinable, the Company recognizes2018 our revenue at the time the fee becomes due, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. Sales arrangements may contain customer-specific acceptance requirements for both products and services. In such cases, revenue is deferred at the time of delivery of the product or service and is recognized upon receipt of customer acceptance.was immaterial.

Accounts Receivable: Trade accounts receivablesContract liabilities are recorded in accordance with termspresented on our consolidated balance sheet and amounts specified in the related contracts on an ongoing basis. Managementconsist of the Company continually monitors accounts receivable for collectability issues. The Company evaluates the collectabilityadvanced payments. As of accounts receivable on a specific account basis using a combination of factors, including the age of the outstanding balances, evaluation of the customer’s financial condition,June 30, 2019, and discussions with relevant Company personnel2018 contract liabilities were $500,000 and with the customers directly.$0, respectively.

Financial Instruments: Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, payables, and convertible debentures. The carrying value of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either their short-term nature or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

Asset Impairment: In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35“Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment if facts and circumstances indicate that any of those assets might be impaired. If an evaluation is required, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are compared to the asset’s carrying amount to determine if an impairment of such property is necessary. The effect of any impairment would be to expense the difference between the fair value of such property and the carrying value. There were no impairment charges in the consolidated statements of operations during the years ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

Debt Issuance Costs: The costs related to the issuance of debt are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the related debt and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the maturity period of the related debt.

Income Taxes: The Company follows ASC 740“Income Taxes”regarding the accounting for deferred tax assets and liabilities. Under the asset and liability method required by this guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax asset will be reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the Company’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future period.

The Company follows ASC 740“Income Taxes” regarding the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold that an income tax position is required to meet before recognizing in the consolidated financial statements and applies to all income tax positions. Each income tax position is assessed using a two-step process. A determination is first made as to whether it is more likely than not that the income tax position will be sustained, based upon technical merits, upon examination by the taxing authorities. If the income tax position is expected to meet the more likely than not criteria, the benefit recorded in the consolidated financial statements equals the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon its ultimate settlement. Additionally, the Company recognizes income tax related penalties and interest in the provision for income taxes.

Beneficial Conversion: Debt and equity instruments that contain a beneficial conversion feature are recorded as a deemed dividend to the holders of the convertible notes. The deemed dividend associated with the beneficial conversion is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the underlying common stock less the proceeds that have been received for the equity instrument limited to the value received. The beneficial conversion amount is recorded as beneficial conversion expense and an increase to additional paid-in-capital.

Derivative Instruments: The Company enters into financing arrangements which may consist of freestanding derivative instruments or hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC 815,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,as well as related interpretation of this standard. In accordance with this standard, derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets and are measured at fair values with gains or losses recognized in earnings. Embedded derivatives that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract are bifurcated and are recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized as either a gain or loss in earnings. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, considering all of the rights and obligations of each instrument.

The Company estimates fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques (and combinations thereof) that are considered consistent with the objective measuring fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, the Company considers, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. For less complex derivative instruments, such as freestanding warrants, the Company generally uses the Black-Scholes model, adjusted for the effect of dilution, because it embodies all of the requisite assumptions (including trading volatility, estimated terms, dilution and risk-free rates) necessary to fair value these instruments. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques (such as Black-Scholes model) are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, income (expense) going forward will reflect the volatility in these estimates and assumption changes. Increases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and increases in fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative expense. Conversely, decreases in the trading price of the Company’s common stock and decreases in trading fair value during a given financial quarter result in the application of non-cash derivative income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Going Concern

The Company recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented and has a history of losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to reverse negative operating trends, obtain revenues from operations, raise additional capital, and/or obtain debt financing.

In conjunction with anticipated revenue streams, management is currently negotiating equity and debt financing, the proceeds from which would be used to settle outstanding debts, to finance operations, and for general corporate purposes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had a working capital deficit of $4,387,148,$7,141,117, with total current assets and liabilities of $1,758,206$20,069 and $6,145,354$7,161,186 respectively. Included in the liabilities are $682,242$757,569 owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through June 30, 2018, $3,402,4212019, $2,605,042 of convertible debentures, net of unamortized discount and $134,255$25,130 of notes payable that are due within one year. As a result, we have relied on financing through the issuance of common stock and convertible debentures.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $2,025.$478. We continue to incur losses in operations. Over the past five years we have primarily relied on sales of common stock and debt instruments to support operations as well as employees and consultants agreeing to defer payment of wages and fees owed to them and/or converting such wages and fees into securities of the Company. Management believes it may be necessary for the Company to rely on external financing to supplement working capital to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the fiscal years ended 20192020 and 2020;2021; the success of securing such financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, cannot be assured. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.
