QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

General

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quantum Materials Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Company”).

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ended December 31, 20162017 are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2016.2017. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial information includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of any subsequent periods. Certain information in the footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. As such, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016.2017.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company is a nanotechnology company specializing in the design, development, production and supply of quantum dots, including tetrapod quantum dots, a high performancehigh-performance variant of quantum dots, and highly uniform nanoparticles, using its patented automated continuous flow production process. Quantum dots and other nanoparticles are expected to be increasingly utilized in a range of applications in the life sciences, television and display, solid state lighting, solar energy, battery, security ink, and sensor sectors of the market. Key uncertainties and risks to the Company include, but are not limited to, if and how quickly various industries adopt and fully embrace quantum dot technology and technological changes, including those developed by the Company’s competitors, rendering the Company’s technology uncompetitive or obsolete.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented and has a history of losses. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $4,044,635 and net cash used in operating activities was $(620,969) for the six months ended December 31, 2017. 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 unaudited 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11—Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity (Topic 480), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement that a down round feature precludes equity classification when assessing whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2017-11 early, effective July 1, 2017, and implemented the pronouncement retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to outstanding financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on its financial statements. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company had a triggering event related to a down round feature which resulted in recording a charge for beneficial conversion expense of $530,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2017.

QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU guidance related to stock-based compensation. The new guidance simplifies the accounting for stock-based compensation transactions, including income tax consequences, statement of cash flows presentation, estimating forfeitures when calculating compensation expense, and classification of awards as either equity or liabilities.

The new standard requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized as income tax benefit (expense) in the income statement. The new guidance also requires presentation of excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than a financing activity and requires presentation of cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity. The new guidance also provides for an election to account for forfeitures of stock-based compensation.

The Company adopted the guidance effective July 1, 2017. With respect to the forfeiture election, the Company will continue its current practice of estimating forfeitures when calculating compensation expense. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The amendment provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) and allows entities to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. The Tax Act has several significant changes that impact all taxpayers, including a transition tax, which is a one-time tax charge on accumulated, undistributed foreign earnings. We will continue to evaluate this area and expect to finalize our conclusions by the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) – Scope of Modification Accounting.The amendments included in this update provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments in this update will be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases,which updates guidance on accounting for leases. The update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases; however, this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The standards update is effective for interim and annual periods after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective adoption, with certain relief provisions, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements when adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15Preparation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accounting in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will continue to evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at this time, the Company has not adopted this standard. The Company does not anticipate or expect adoption of this ASU will have a material effect to the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date,which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities are required to adopt the revenue recognition standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. Early adoption of this updated guidance is permitted as of the original effective date of December 31, 2016. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04“Fair Value Measurement” as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

 

This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Hierarchical levels, as defined in this guidance and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 – Inputs that are bothValuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant tojudgment.

As of December 31, and June 30, 2017, the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The reported fair values forof the Company’s financial instruments, that use Level 2including cash and Level 3 inputscash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to determinethe short maturity of these instruments. Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of its debt obligations approximates fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized asvalue. As of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 or that will be realized in2017, the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred inCompany held no investments.

Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features and II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests. ASU 2017-11 eliminates the requirement that a down round feature precludes equity classification when assessing whether an instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A freestanding equity-linked financial instrument no longer would be accounted for as a derivative liability at fair value as a result of the existence of a down round feature. The Company implemented ASU 2017-11 retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to outstanding financial instruments, which was $0 for the implementation period, six months ended December 31, 2017. A triggering event occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2017, increasing beneficial conversion expense in the amount of $530,000.

During the third quarter of the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 260 Units for total proceeds of $260,000 from five non-affiliated parties. Each Unit consists of a $1,000 Unsecured Convertible Promissory Note (each, a “Note”) and a warrant to purchase 4,166 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a purchase price of $0.15 per share (each, a “Warrant”) over a period of five years.

In evaluating the accounting treatment of this anti-dilution feature, the Company believes that is has control over whether or not the anti-dilution feature will be exercised. The Company is able to decide on which type of financing is raised, and thus the Company can prevent the issuance of shares at a price below the anti-dilution strike price. The number of Warrants and exercise price is proportionately adjustable for events including subdivisions, combinations or consolidations, reclassifications, exchanges, mergers, and reorganizations.

Incentive Stock Options: The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The volatility is based on expected volatility over the expected life of thirty-six to sixty months. Compensation cost is recognized based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, therefore, the Company has reduced the cost for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates, which were between 14% and 17% during the six months ended December 31, 2016.2017. As the Company has not historically declared dividends, the dividend yield used in the calculation is zero. Actual value realized, if any, is dependent on the future performance of the Company’s common stock and overall stock market conditions. There is no assurance the value realized by an optionee will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

The following assumptions were used for the periods indicated:

 

 Six Months Ended  Six Months Ended 
 December 31,  December 31,

Risk-free interest rates  1.25%  1.49%  -   1.25%
Expected term (in years)  5.0   5.0   -   5.0 

 

The computation of expected volatility during the six months ended December 31, 20162017 and 20152016 was based on the historical volatility. Historical volatility was calculated from historical data for the time approximately equal to the expected term of the option award starting from the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period corresponding with the expected life of the option.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAX

 

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.Operating Leases

 

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from the existing deferred tax liabilities or future taxable income. To the extent the Company believes that recovery will not meet the more likely than not threshold, it establishesleases certain office and lab space under a valuation allowance. The Company has recorded valuation allowances in the U.S. for its net deferred tax assets since management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized because future taxable income necessary to utilize these losses cannot be established or projected.month-to-month operating lease agreement.

NOTE 12 — LITIGATION

 

The Company completedwas 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-Q, the balance in arrears is $95,000 plus interest and other charges which has been accrued at June 30, 2017. 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 Quantum Materials’ transfer agent, Empire Stock Transfer, Inc., to set aside fifty-million (50,000,000) shares of stock as collateral for four loan agreements Quantum Materials 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 evaluation study whetherinjunction to stop the release of the stock. 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 Quantum Materials. Quantum filed a motion to disqualify the law firm for that conflict, and they subsequently withdrew.

New counsel for SBI and L2, Cleveland Terrazas PLLC, brought suit against Quantum 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 Quantum’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 Quantum 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 claim 140% interest, attorney’s fees, 20 million shares of stock, and damages. Quantum maintains all loans have been paid timely.

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

CAUSE NUMBER: 17CV06093; Johnson County, Kansas

The Kansas lawsuit 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 Quantum; the second claim is for breach of contract of the first L2 promissory note against Quantum; the final claim is for breach of contract regarding the second L2 promissory note against both Quantum and Squires, individually.

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 largely mirrors the suit in Kansas; defaults are alleged as follows:

On July 6, 2017, Quantum 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 Quantum, the Revised Report materially and adversely affects SBI’s rights with respect to the notes. This restatement of financial statements constituted a breach of each of the notes. Furthermore, because each note contains a cross-default clause, each of Quantum’s breaches of a specific note also constituted a breach of every other note.

On July 27, 2017, Quantum’s auditor resigned, and replaced its auditor without seeking or obtaining the consent of SBI. This replacement of Quantum’s auditor constituted an “ownership change”alleged breach of the SBI notes. Because each note contains a cross-default clause, each of Quantum’s breaches of a specific note also constituted a breach 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, QTMM’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 QTMM and awarded costs of court.

On March 29, 2018, at a discovery hearing, wherein QTMM 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 occurredpreviously requested, and determinedalso 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.

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 December 31, 2016 to approximately $27,480,000. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance on the entire NOL as it believes that it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset associated with the NOLs will not be realized regardless of whether an “ownership change” has occurred.2017.

When a company operates in a jurisdiction that generates ordinary losses but does not expect to realize them, ASC 740-270-30-36(a) requires the exclusion of the respective jurisdiction from the overall annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) calculation and instead, a separate AETR should be computed. The Company operates in one jurisdiction and has determined that its deferred tax assets are not realizable on a more likely than not basis and has recorded a full valuation allowance. The effective income tax rate for the three months and six ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 was 0%.

In September 2016, the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer loaned the Company $100,000 to provide short-term bridge financing. This transaction is described in more detail in Note 6 under the heading “Promissory Note”. The Company repaid the loan on October 11, 2016.

 

NOTE 14 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09,Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases, which updates guidance on accounting for leases. The update requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. Similar to current guidance, the update continues to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases; however, this distinction now primarily relates to differences in the manner of expense recognition over time and in the classification of lease payments in the statement of cash flows. The standards update is effective for interim and annual periods after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective adoption, with certain relief provisions, for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements when adopted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Income Taxes: Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This ASU requires entities to present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. It thus simplifies the current guidance, which requires entities to separately present deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as current and noncurrent. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective forDuring the year ended June 30, 2016.

In August 2014,2016, the FASBCompany’s prior CFO and two of the Company’s directors invested $15,000, $10,000, and $25,000 respectively in the convertible debentures issued ASU No. 2014-15Preparation of Financial Statements — Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Under GAAP, continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entity’s liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. If and when an entity’s liquidation becomes imminent, financial statements should be prepared under the liquidation basis of accountingheading April – June, August, October and November 2016 Convertible Debentures as described in accordance with Subtopic 205-30, Presentation of Financial Statements—Liquidation Basis of Accounting. Even when an entity’s liquidation is not imminent, there may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In those situations, financial statements should continue to be prepared under the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendments in this update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will continue to evaluate the going concern considerations in this ASU, however, at this time, the Company has not adopted this standard. The Company does not anticipate or expect adoption of this ASU will have a material effect to the consolidated financial statements.Note 5.

QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14,Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities are required to adopt the revenue recognition standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10,Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing.

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. We are currently trading in the over-the-counter marketplace on the OTCQB under the ticker symbol “QTMM.” Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”) is a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of QMC that is focused on the photovoltaic (solar cell) market.

 

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 size of the quantum dot. As such, the photonic emissions can be tuned by the creation of QDs of different 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 biomedical, 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 the television and display industries, the light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting (also known as solid-state lighting) industry, and the biomedical industry. LG, Samsung, and other manufacturers 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. QDs remain an expensive product, however a number of recent market research reports have forecasted rapid growth of the QD market, including an April 2016 report by Credence Research which states “The quantum dots market is expected to cross US$ 8.0 Bn by 2022, expanding at a CAGR of 51.3% during the forecast period 2015 to 2022,” and a report published by Transparency Market Research, also in April 2014, which forecasts that “the market will develop at an exceptional 53.8% CAGR between 2013 and 2023. If the projections hold true, the market could rise from a valuation of US$88.5 mnmillion in 2011 to US$8.2 bnbillion by 2023.”

 

In 2014, we acquired several patents and patent applications in five diverse sets of patent families from Bayer Technology Services GmbH, the global technological backbone and major innovation driver for Bayer AG of Leverkusen, Germany (the “Bayer Patents”). The Bayer Patents acquired 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 cadmium-free QDs and nanoparticles; increasing quantum yields; 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.

 

In addition to the Bayer Patents, we have a worldwide exclusive license from William Marsh Rice University (“Rice”) to a patented chemical process that permits it to produce high performance TQDs using a lower cost and environmentally friendly solvent for greater manufacturing flexibility.

 

In February 2018, the Company re-evaluated the Rice Technology and the business case and determined that it was highly unlikely that the Company would be using the cadmium-based Rice technology. The Company’s substantial advancement of cadmium free dots coupled with the high volume, low cost flow technology purchased from Bayer Advanced Materials and further developed by the Company has resulted in the obsolescence of the Rice Technology. The final decision not to continue with the Rice license was driven largely by concerns that the Rice royalties could unduly burden the cost of the Company’s quantum dot products.

We have developed proprietary equipment that allows it to mass produce consistent quantities of QDs and TQDs in a continuous process at lower capital costs than other existing processes. We also have the exclusive license from the University of Arizona (“UA”) to a patented technique for printing LEDs. We believe that these intellectual properties and proprietary technologies position us 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.

 

Plan of OperationOperations

 

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.

 

The Company has established commercial-scale manufacturing equipment at the San Marcos facility and now has the capacity to produce more than two metric tons (2,000kg) per year of quantum dots and other nanomaterials for supply to its customers. Management believes that the 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 resulting from the development project and could contract with one or more other competent suppliers of equipment, if necessary.

 

We expect to commence generating revenues from the production of materials at the San Marcos facility in the fourth quarter of 2017. Such revenues are expected to be modest at first and will be dependent upon our ability to generate purchase orders from development partners.

 

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. On July 15, 2015 we entered into a joint development agreement with an unnameda major display panel manufacturer and on September 11, 2015 we entered into a funded product development agreement with a leading global optical film manufacturer, Nitto Denko Corporation. In June 2016 we entered into a development agreement with an unnamed company in the oil and natural gas sector to produce novel technology for use in that industry. To date, we have not entered into any formal commercial supply agreements, joint ventures, or licensing agreements.

 

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) sales of quantum dots and other nanomaterials, (ii) royalties from sales of products and components by third parties incorporating the Company’s products, (iii) milestone payments under joint development arrangements with product developers and manufacturers, and (iv) sublicensing fees where we engage in sublicensing arrangements for its owned and/or licensed technology.

On January 29, 2016 Quantum Materials Corp. (QMC) announced the formation of a Joint Venture with Guanghui Technology Group (GTG) to establish infrastructure in China to both produce quantum dots and to further develop quantum dot-based technology solutions for display, solid state lighting (SSL), lithium ion batteries, security and solar energy markets. GTG is a Financial Advisory and Services Company that assists advanced technological companies enter the China market. GTG is investing US$20 million into the joint venture to build out QDXTM quantum dot production facilities and fund quantum dot application development in China.

On January 30, 2017, Guanghui Technology Group (GTG) reported an investment commitment from the China Government Guidance Fund of 150 million RMB (US $21.8 million) for the benefit of the QMA partnership.  Quantum Materials Asia intends to initiate production upon completion of matching funds required to access the China Government Guidance funding. The initial focus will be the delivery of quantum dot materials to the China Display industry. Quantum Materials Corp is currently training key personnel intended to be deployed to support QMA’s schedule and is providing sample materials to a number of Chinese display industry companies. Quantum Materials Corp. will supply production knowledge and personnel to the joint venture in return for a 50% profit interest and a 25% ownership interest in QMA.

 

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, Rice, 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 TQD technology licensed from Rice 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, and 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 20162017, we had a working capital deficit of $1,922,062,$(4,044,635) with total current assets and liabilities of $51,507$1,399,700 and $1,973,169,$5,444,335, respectively. Included in the liabilities are $362,100 that is$664,175 owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through December 31, 2016, $85,0422017, and $2,815,593 of convertible debentures, net debentures. In view of unamortized discount that are due within one year. As a result,our working capital deficit we have relied on financing through the issuance of common stock and convertible debentures.debentures and we expect that conversions of outstanding notes will reduce our working capital deficit in the future.

 

As of December 31, 2016,2017, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $6,821$58,992 primarily obtained from recent debt offerings and we will continue to incur losses in operations.operations until we generate revenues from scaled up production. 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 will be necessary for the Company to rely on external financing to supplement working capital in order to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in fiscal year 2017 and 2018; the success of securing such financing on terms acceptable to the Company cannot be assured. The Company is seeking to raise to $2,500,000$2,000,000 in equity and/or debt financings to support operations over the next twelve months. These financings, plus the potential exercise of stock options and stock purchase warrants previously issued, coupled with material reductions in general & administrative expenses, should provide sufficient working capital to scale up to full production over the next sixnine months. 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.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to reflect the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2016,2017, we had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a working capital deficit of $1,922,062$3,926,039 and expect to incur further losses in the development of the business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We continue to explore available financing options, including, without limitation, the sale of equity, debt borrowing and/or the receipt of product licensing fees and royalties. We can provide no assurances that future financing, if needed, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. In this respect, see Note 1 in our notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information as to the possibility that we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at December 31, 2016.2017.

 

Change in Accounting Staff

 

Subsequent to December 31, 20162017 and prior to the filing of this Form 10-Q, there has been a complete change in the Company’s accounting staff, including the Chief Financial Officer. Prior to MarchDecember 31, 2017, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the prior Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) will conductconducted an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls which include a review of the controls’ (i) objectives, (ii) design, (iii) implementation, and (iv) the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in quarterly and annual reports. In the course of the evaluation, the CEO and CFO will seek to identify data errors, control problems, acts of fraud, and if appropriate, then seek to confirm that appropriate corrective action, including process improvements to be undertaken. This type of evaluation will be done on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions concerning the effectiveness of our controls can be reported in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and internal controls, and to make modifications if and as necessary.

 

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting except as set forth above.
