NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

GeneralNature of Operations

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quantum Materials Corp., a Nevada corporation, 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, 2016 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. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally acceptedheadquartered 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.

Nature of Operations

San Marcos, Texas. 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, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,238,276 and net cash used in operating activities was $(530,988) for the six months ended December 31, 2018. 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, and cash flows from licensing and development agreements, 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.

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.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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.

Property and Equipment: Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the various classes of assets as follows:

Furniture and fixtures7 years
Computers and software3 years
Machinery and equipment3 - 10 years

QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP.

(Unaudited)

Licenses and Patents: Licenses and patents are stated at cost. Amortization is computed on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of five years.

Earnings per Share: The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260“Earnings Per Share”. Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the periods, including the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants granted. Dilutive stock options and warrants that are issued during a period or that expire or are canceled during a period are reflected in the computations for the time they were outstanding during the periods being reported.

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 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.

Fair value measurements: The Company estimates fair value at a price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market for the asset or liability. The valuation techniques require inputs that are categorized using a three-level hierarchy, from highest to lowest level of observable inputs, as follows: (1) significant observable inputs, including unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (“Level 1”), (2) significant other observable inputs, including direct or indirect market data for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or identical assets or liabilities in less active markets (“Level 2”) and (3) significant unobservable inputs, including those that require considerable judgment for which there is little or no market data (“Level 3”). When multiple input levels are required for a valuation, the Company categorizes the entire fair value measurement according to the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement even though other significant inputs that are more readily observable may have also utilized.

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 fiscal year 2018, the Company had three triggering events related to a down round feature which resulted in recording a charge for beneficial conversion expense of $1,021,500 during the year ended June 30, 2018.

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.

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. The Company adopted the guidance effective July 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

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. The Company adopted the guidance effective July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

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 Company adopted the guidance effective July 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) provisions of ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers(ASC 606), using the prospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption. The Company had no contracts not completed as of the date of adoption, nor had contracts that were modified before the effective date.

Pronouncements Yet To Be Adopted

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.

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, 2018, and June 30, 2018, the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The reported fair values forof the Company’s financial instruments, that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine 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 as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 or that will be realized in the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement.

The carrying amounts ofincluding cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current debt approximate their fairaccrued expenses, approximates book value due to the short maturity of thosethese 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. As of December 31, 2018, and June 30, 2018, the Company held no investments. The Company hired an independent resource to value its derivative liability as follows (unaudited):

D) January-March 2017 Convertible Debentures

During the third quarter of the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold 2,600 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. The Notes which were issued at face value have a maturity of two years from the date of issuance, bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum and are convertible into unregistered and restricted shares of Common Stock at $0.12 per-share, subject to normal and customary adjustments including (a) any subdivisions, combinations and classifications of the Common Stock; or (b) any payment, issuance or distribution by the Company to its stockholders of (i) a stock dividend, (ii) debt securities of the Company, or (iii) assets (other than cash dividends payable out of earnings or surplus in the ordinary course of business). The conversion price also is subject to a full ratchet adjustment upon the Company’s issuance of Common Stock, warrants, or rights to purchase Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock for a consideration per share which is less than the then applicable conversion price of the Notes excluding Common Stock and options issued to officers, directors, and employees of the Company, except for the exercise or conversion of existing convertible securities of the Company. 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 not reduced by the Company for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates for options granted after July 1, 2018. For grants prior to July 1, 2018, compensation cost was 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.. 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 computation of expected volatility during the six months ended December 31, 20162018 and 20152017 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 11 — 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 September 30, 2018. 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. A jurisdiction hearing for the limitation would be approximately $750,000, thereby reducingFlorida case on August 15, 2018 resulted in the net operating losslawsuit 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 December 31, 2018.

Quantum v. K&L Gates, Inc., 18-2393, pending in Hays County, Texas.

In September 2017, Quantum filed an injunction suit against two of its lenders, SBI Investments, LLC, 2014-1 and L2 Capital LLC, in Hays County, Texas (428th Judicial District; Cause No. 17-2033). On October 2017, these two lenders intervened in the proceeding, asserted affirmative claims for monetary damages against Quantum, and opposed Quantum’s request for temporary injunctive relief. The lenders’ law firm was K&L Gates. In 2016, tothe Board of Directors for Quantum retained the law firm of K&L Gates. In this professional capacity, K&L Gates attended confidential board meetings and reviewed, inter alia, corporate secrets. K&L Gates billed approximately $27,480,000.$100,000 per month. The Company has recorded a valuation allowanceaccrued $319,000 in relation to this action. Quantum moved to disqualify K&L Gates.

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.

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 for the year ended June 30, 2016.

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. 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.

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 does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

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 operating subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”) is a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of QMC that, is focused on the next generation photovoltaic (solar cell) market.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 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 televisiontelevisions and display industries, thedisplays, light emitting diode (“LED”) lighting (also known as solid-state lighting) industry,, and in the biomedical industry. LG, Samsung, and other manufacturerscompanies 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, however a number of recent market research reports have forecastedbut we anticipate rapid growth of the QD market, including an April 2016 reportmarket.

History of the Company

We were formed in January 2007 as a Nevada corporation in the business of the exploitation of mineral interests. We acquired Solterra in November 2008 and changed our business to the development of QDs.

Intellectual Property Portfolio

In October 2008, Solterra 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 Credence Research which states “The quantum dots market is expected to cross US$ 8.0 Bn by 2022, expanding atDr. Ghassan Jabbour, a CAGRmember 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 valuationCompany’s Board of US$88.5 mn in 2011 to US$8.2 bn by 2023.”Directors.

 

In 2014, wethe Company acquired severala patent portfolio from Bayer AG that included patents and patent applications in five diverse setscovering the high-volume manufacture of patent families from Bayer Technology Services GmbH, the global technological backboneQDs, including heavy metal-free compositions, various methods for enhancing quantum dot performance, and major innovation driver for Bayer AG of Leverkusen, Germanya quantum dot based solar cell technology (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 QDsUA License, organically developed technologies and nanoparticles; increasing quantum yields; and hybrid organic quantum dot solar cell (“QDSC”) production as well as a surface modificationour proprietary continuous flow manufacturing 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.

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.comprise our fundamental asset platform. We believe that thesethe intellectual propertiesproperty and proprietary technologies position usthe Company 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 Operation

Corporate Realignment

 

We currently operate fromIn 2016, Mr. Squires returned as President and CEO and implemented a leased facilitycost reduction initiative streamlining the G&A overhead and devoting more resources to R&D and commercialization readiness. These efforts have resulted in San Marcos, Texas atfurther optimization of the STAR Park Technology Center, an extensionchemistry and the products. Through this refinement, we have been able to continually refine and increase the throughput of Texas State University (the “San Marcos Facility”). This location providesour production equipment to the metric ton range of QDs per year. All 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 convenient accessthe ability to university facultyprovide industry leading material performance at a very competitive price point.

License Agreement

In November 2018, the Company entered into a license and specialized laboratory facilities that can support jointdevelopment agreement with Amtronics India LLC related to the volume production of quantum dots in Assam, India. The agreement is part of a larger project for the design, training, research and development efforts with Texas State University. Located approximately 30 miles south of Austin, Texas, this location is alsoa quantum dot manufacturing facility in close proximityAssam. This project has been under discussion for nearly three years. A ground-breaking ceremony took place in Assam on January 16, 2019, and the Company anticipates operations being established and operational prior to a number of leading companies inyear-end 2019. In addition to an upfront fee and royalty, the electronics, lighting, solar,agreement provides for the Company to sell equipment and life sciences markets.training services, which the Company expects will provide additional revenues.

 

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 capacityterms of the San Marcoslicensing agreement will enable the Company to begin to leverage its intellectual property portfolio and to begin generating revenues without overburdening the Company’s scientific staff in a manner that would disrupt new discovery. The other participants in the Assam project have the responsibility of, among other things, developing the site, constructing the facilities and hiring staff. The Company has agreed to construct and supply the proprietary equipment, assisting in the development and scale up of the 3rd generation solar, display and SSL products, training and providing a broad range of consulting services at additional cost, representing a potential ongoing revenue opportunity for the Company.

On or about December 23, 2018, Assam Electronics Development Corporation LTD (an Indian government enterprise involved in the development of the manufacturing facility is similar to, or greater than its largest competitors’ operating factories which are much larger and required significantly higher capital expenditures. This efficiency isin India) paid the direct resultfirst investment 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$1M USD into the overall project fund. Amtronics then transferred a $500K USD commitment fee to the designs and intellectual property resultinggroup that has secured the $20M investment funding. In terms of direct funding to the Company, on December 29, 2018 the Company received a letter from the managing director of the Assam Electronics Development Corporation LTD confirming that the $1M USD upfront license fee would be paid to the Company on or before January 31, 2019. The Company has recently been provided additional validation that the governmental transfer approval was complete and that funds should be received by the Company on or before February 20, 2019.

32

In addition to Company’s efforts to commercialize its QD-LED remote phosphor technology for displays, the Company plans for its core focus in the first half of 2019 to be research and development project, and could contract with one or more other competent suppliersfor the optimization of equipment, if necessary.its 3rd generation perovskite QD based solar technology in preparation of scaling up to commercial production levels in Assam, India.

 

We expecthave continued to commence generating revenues from the production of materials at the San Marcos facilitymaintain aggressive cost control measures, never forgetting this is a marathon and not a sprint. We are continuing to focus more resources on R&D and with our continuous flow technology we have been able to leverage every dollar spent. To further streamline our operations, we have continued to analyze our operating costs and make reductions whenever and wherever possible. To that end we have recently changed transfer agents 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 testingorder to further enhance product specifications. On July 15, 2015 we entered into a joint development agreement with an unnamed major display panel manufacturerreduce overhead cost 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.made additional cost cutting measures in our compliance operations to reduce audit fees.

 

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.

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

 

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, if at all.

The Company has continued to maintain aggressive cost control measures, although we plan on increasingly to focus more resources on research and development during the last half of fiscal year 2019, and fiscal year 2020. To further streamline operations, the Company has continued to analyze its operating costs and to make reductions where management believes prudent. To that end, the Company has recently changed transfer agents in order to further reduce overhead cost and has made additional cost cutting measures.

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 December 31, 20162018, we had a working capital deficit of $1,922,062,$5,238,276, with total current assets and liabilities of $51,507$1,154,037 and $1,973,169,$6,392,014 respectively. Included in the liabilities are $362,100 that is$779,125 owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through December 31, 2016, $85,0422018, $3,403,402 of convertible debentures, net of unamortized discount and $191,979 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 December 31, 2016,2018, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $6,821 and$325,437. 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 willmay be necessary for the Company to rely on external financing to supplement working capital in order to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the fiscal year 2017years ended 2019 and 2018;2020; the success of securing such financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, cannot be assured. The Company is seeking to raise to $2,500,000 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 six 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.

The increase is primarily due to an increase of proceeds received from conversionfor the sale of common stock, fewer principal payments on debentures and notes payable due to maturities, partially offset by fewer issuances of convertible debentures and warrants exercised.during the six months ended December 31, 2018.

 

TheseOur 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

Financing Arrangements

Over the course of meeting our capital needs, we have entered into various debentures and debt instruments, which generally have short maturity terms, typically 6 to 18 months. Many of these instruments were accompanied by shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The outstanding principal amount of these instruments at December 31, 2016, we had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a working capital deficit2018 was $3,856,550. The terms of $1,922,062 and expect to incur further lossesthe instruments are set forth 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.following table.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are controls and other procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assuranceensure that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that 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 of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the informationreports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officerchief executive officer and Chief Financial Officer,our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performedIn designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Due to the inherent limitation of controls systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out 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(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of the end of the period covered by this report.1934). Based on theirthis evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that ourthe Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective atas of December 31, 2016.2018, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

ChangeIn connection with the preparation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, management concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, as a result of material weaknesses in Accounting Staff

Subsequentour control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to December 31, 2016the lack of timely 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 March 31, 2017, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) will conduct an evaluationeffective review of the Company’s disclosure controlsperiod-end closing process and adequate personnel and resources.

Remediation Plan

Management is committed to remediating the material weaknesses discussed above. The Company has recruited experienced US GAAP/financial reporting professional to augment and upgrade its finance and accounting staff to address issues of accuracy, completeness, adequate segregation of duties, and timeliness in financial statement preparation and reporting. However, the Company may be unable to remediate this weakness until it has received additional funding that may be necessary to hire additional personnel. Until the Company has sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, it plans to work closely with external financial advisors to review and monitor its accounting procedures, perform internal audit procedures, and to prepare its consolidated financial statements and reports. In addition, The Company does not believe it has sufficient documentation with its existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. Until it has sufficient internal finance and accounting staff, it plans to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment, and internal controls which include a reviewsystematically. The Company believes its recently hired personnel, or through professional engagement 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 CFOconsultants, 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 controlsimprove its documentation and internal controls,control processes 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.procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

ThereDuring the last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company’sCompany's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during(as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Company’s fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2016Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except as set forth above.
