Notice is hereby given to you as shareholders of record of Quick-Med Technologies, Inc. as of January 9, 2008 that a Written Consent in Lieu of an Annual Meeting of Shareholders has been executed with an effective date of January 31, 2008. As explained in the enclosed Information Statement, holders of a majority of the Company's Common Stock have executed the written consent (1) re-electing certain directors of the Company, (2) ratifying the reappointment of DaszkalBolton, LLP as the Company's independent auditors for fiscal year 2008, and (3) amending the Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to 6,000,000 shares.
The Board of Directors believes it would not be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to incur the costs of holding an annual meeting or of soliciting proxies or consents from additional shareholders in connection with these actions. Based on the foregoing, our Board of Directors has determined not to call an Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and none will be held this year.
Shareholders of record of the Company's Common Stock at the close of business on January 9, 2008 have received this Notice of Consent in Lieu of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is expected to be mailed on or about January 19, 2008.

INFORMATION STATEMENT
OF
QUICK-MED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
3427 SW 42nd Way
Gainesville, Florida 32608
We Are Not Asking You For A Proxy And You Are Requested Not To Send Us A Proxy.
Quick-Med Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), furnishes this Information Statement to the holders of record of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock "). This Information Statement is being mailed on or about January 19, 2008 to all of the Company's shareholders of record at the close of business on January 9, 2007 (the "Record Date"). As of the Record Date, there were 30,725,625 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Holders of 74% of the outstanding Common Stock have executed a written consent in lieu of Annual Meeting (the "Written Consent"), with an effective date of January 31, 2008, effecting the following actions: (1) electing certain directors of the Company, (2) ratifying the reappointment of DaszkalBolton, LLP as the Company's independent accountants for fiscal 2008. No other action has been authorized by the Written Consent and (3) amending the Amended and Restated 2001 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares reserved under the Plan from 4,000,000 to 6,000,000. This Information Statement is being provided pursuant to the requirements of Rule 14c-2 promulgated under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), to inform holders of the Company's Common Stock who are entitled to vote on, authorize or consent the matters authorized by the Written Consent. This Information Statement also constitutes notice of the actions to be approved pursuant to the Written Consent for purposes of Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Because holders of approximately 74% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock have executed the Written Consent, no vote or consent of any other shareholder is being, or will be, solicited in connection with the authorization of the matters set forth in the Written Consent. Under Nevada law and our Articles of Incorporation, the votes represented by the holders signing the Written Consent are sufficient in number to elect directors and authorize the other matters set forth in the Written Consent, without the vote or consent of any other shareholder of the Company. Nevada statutes provide that any action that is required to be taken, or that may be taken, at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of a Nevada corporation may be taken, without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a written consent, setting forth the action taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes necessary to authorize such action.
Based on the foregoing, our Board has determined not to call an annual meeting of shareholders, and no annual meeting of shareholders of the Company was held in 2007. The Board believes it would not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to incur the costs of holding an annual meeting or of soliciting proxies or consents from additional shareholders in connection with these actions. There are no appraisal rights as a result of the approval of these actions.
Our Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2007, including audited consolidated financial statements (the "Annual Report"), accompanies this Information Statement. In addition, we have provided brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees, at our expense, with additional copies of this Information Statement and the Annual Report so that such record holders can supply such material to beneficial owners as of January 9, 2008.
This Information Statement is expected to be mailed to shareholders on or about January 17, 2008. We will bear all expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of this Information Statement and Annual Report. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for expenses they incur in forwarding this material to beneficial owners.
ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THE ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-KSBA FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, AS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (BUT WITHOUT EXHIBITS TO THE FORM 10-KSBA) MAY BE OBTAINED WITHOUT CHARGE UPON REQUEST TO NATASHA SOROBEY, CORPORATE SECRETARY, QUICK-MED TECHNOLOGIES, INC., 3427 SW 42ND WAY, GAINSVILLE, FLORIDA 32608

Mr. Greeno began employment with us on June 11, 2007 (the “Start Date”). Mr. Greeno will report to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) and will render such business and professional services in the performance of his duties, consistent with his position as our Chief Executive Officer, as will reasonably be assigned to him by the Board.
We will pay Mr. Greeno a base salary of $250,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), subject to review by the Board on an annual basis and subject to increase in the Registrant’s discretion. Mr. Greeno will be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of up to fifty percent (50%) of the Base Salary upon the achievement of performance objectives that will be reasonably determined by the Board or the Board’s Compensation Committee in consultation with Mr. Greeno within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, and annually thereafter as part of our annual planning process. Mr. Greeno will also be eligible to receive awards of stock options, restricted stock or other equity awards pursuant to any plans or arrangements we may have in effect from time to time.
Subject to the Board’s approval, we will grant Mr. Greeno two options (each, an “Option,” and together, the “Options”) to purchase that number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock equal to five percent (5%) of the Registrant’s outstanding equity on the date of grant, calculated on a diluted basis and taking into account any equity commitments to other employees that were made as of the Start Date and which remain outstanding as of the grant date (the “Share Number”). The first Option will be granted, subject to Board approval, on the Effective Date with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Share Number at an exercise price of $0.75 per share and will be fully vested and immediately exercisable on the date of grant. The second Option will be granted, subject to Board approval, at a date determined by the Board, but no later than October 1, 2007, and will be granted with respect to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Share Number. The second Option will vest and become exercisable as to 1/16th of the shares subject to the Option on each three (3)-month anniversary of the Start Date, subject to Mr. Greeno’s continued service with the Registrant through each such date. Each Option will have a maximum term of five (5) years. The second Option will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares as of the date of grant of the relevant Option, calculated in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Option will be subject to the terms and conditions of the equity award grant agreements between us and Mr. Greeno. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Agreement to the contrary, except in the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the Agreement), if before the one (1) year anniversary of the Start Date (A) we terminate Mr. Greeno’s employment with the Registrant for “cause” (as defined in the Agreement) or(B) Mr. Greeno voluntarily resigns from his employment with us for any or no reason except “good reason” (as defined in the Agreement), the vested shares subject to the Options will be held in escrow until the one (1) year anniversary of the Start Date.
Mr. Greeno will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all our employee benefit plans, policies and arrangements that are applicable to our other senior executive officers, as such plans, policies and arrangements may exist from time to time. Mr. Greeno will be entitled to paid vacation of four (4) weeks per year in accordance with our vacation policy, prorated for calendar year 2007.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Under United States securities laws, our directors, executive officers and any persons holding more than 10% of our issued and outstanding common stock are required to report their ownership of common stock (or securities convertible into common stock) to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Due dates for these reports have been set by the Commission and we are required to report any failure to file by those deadlines. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to us by those persons and on representations from those persons that no other reports were required, all reports were timely filed as required under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by all such persons during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In June 2007, we issued two 2007 senior convertible note payables to our Chairman and a major stockholder for $375,000 each. As of June 30, 2007, we received $303,160 from our Chairman and the remaining $71,840 in July 2007 totaling $375,000. We also received $125,000 from a major stockholder and expects to receive the remainder in September 2007. These two senior convertible note payables are secured by our revenues and assets. When these notes are fully funded, approximately $250,000 are to be allocated and restricted for payment of the chief executive officer’s salary for the next twelve months. We may prepay the principal and interest upon meeting certain cash flow requirements and the approval of our board.
In addition, we combined our other outstanding note payables to our Chairman totaling $208,955 into a single note with the same annual interest rate and extended the maturity date to 2010. This senior convertible note is also secured by our revenues and assets with the same priority as the 2007 senior convertible notes.
In June 2006, the Company issued a note payable to its Chairman for $132,950 with an 8% interest rate per annum and a maturity date of October 1, 2007. This note was combined into a $208,955 single convertible note in June 2007 as described above.
In September 2003, the Company negotiated a successor agreement with its Chairman regarding the line of credit, which became a single convertible note for up to $1,500,000 excluding accrued interest, at an interest rate of 6% and due July 1, 2004. The convertible note is secured by the assets and revenues of the Company, which has the same priority as other senior convertible note payables. The note plus accrued interest will be convertible at a conversion rate of $0.38 per share. The conversion rate was determined as 15% above the average share price over the prior 20 trading days ($0.33 per share). The note has an anti-dilution provision in the event that the Company sells stock to other investors at less than $0.20 per share. During the year ended June 30, 2006, the maturity date of the note was extended until October 1, 2007. In January 2007, the Chairman agreed to extend the maturity date of the note until April 1, 2008. In June 2007, the maturity date of the 2003 senior convertible note was extended to June 2010.
During the period ended June 30, 2007, the Company paid accrued interest on the 2003 senior convertible note for the three quarters by issuing the note payables for the interest amounts owed forthe respective periods. For the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 2007, the interest was accrued to be paid at the maturity date extended to June 2010. These note payables were combined into a $208,955 single convertible note in June 2007 as describe above.

At June 30, 2006, the accrued interest on the long term convertible note to our Chairman was $18,864.

PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Our Board has reappointed DaszkalBolton LLP as our independent auditors to audit our financial statements for the current fiscal year, and shareholders will ratify the appointment of DaszkalBolton LLP pursuant to the Written Consent. DaszkalBolton LLP is our independent auditor and has reported on our 2007 and 2006 financial statements. DaszkalBolton LLP has represented to us that it is independent with respect to the Company within the meaning of the published rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our independent auditors are appointed by our Board after receiving the recommendation of our Audit Committee.
AUDIT FEES
The aggregate fees for professional services rendered by DaszkalBolton LLP in connection with their audit of the our financial statements and review of the condensed financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-QSB during fiscal year 2007 were $38,500.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION FEES
DaszkalBolton LLP did not provide any services related to financial information systems design and implementation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
REVIEW OF AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered the non-audit services provided by DaszkalBolton LLP and determined that such services are compatible with maintaining DaszkalBolton LLP's independence, and has recommended the selection of DaszkalBolton LLP as the Company's auditors to the Board of Directors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The following Audit Committee Report is provided in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, this Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed “soliciting materials,” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, subject to Regulation 14A or 14C of the Securities and Exchange Commission or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall this Audit Committee Report be deemed to be incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this Information Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that Quick-Med specifically incorporates this information by reference.
The audit committee is responsible for oversight of our accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, and internal controls designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent accountants (or auditors) are responsible for auditing our financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the annual report with management. As part of its review, the audit committee discussed the quality, and not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
The audit committee also reviewed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the audit committee under generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the audit committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and Quick-Med, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions With Audit Committees), and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.
The audit committee discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audits. The audit committee met with the independent auditors to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of Quick-Med’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting and the other matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees). The audit committee also met without management.
The following table sets forth fees billed to us by our auditors during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 for: (i) services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the review of our quarterly financial statements, (ii) services by our auditor that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and that are not reported as Audit Fees, (iii) services rendered in connection with tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning, and (iv)all other fees for services rendered including a review of SEC registration statement filing. "Audit Related Fees" consisted of consulting regarding accounting issues.

(i) | Audit Fees | $ | 38,500 | | $ | 35,500 | |
(ii) | Audit Related Fees | $ | 0 | | $ | 5,000 | |
(iii) | Tax Fees | $ | 7,185 | | $ | 5,000 | |
(iv) | All Other Fees | $ | 0 | | $ | 0 | |
The members of the audit committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of auditing or accounting, and are not employed by us for accounting, financial management or internal control purposes. Members of the audit committee relied, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors. Accordingly, the audit committee’s oversight does not provide any basis, other than the review and discussions with management and the independent auditors referred to above, to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies or internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the audit committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States or that Quick-Med’s auditors are in fact “independent.”
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of the audit committee referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSBA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 3: INCREASE OF SHARES ISSUABLE UNDER EXISTING 2001 OPTION PLAN
To amend our Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (“Plan”) to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan from 4,000,000 shares of its common stock to 6,000,000 shares.
The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Company’s Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan.
Administration and Eligibility
The Plan is administered by a Stock Option or Compensation Committee ("Committee") appointed by the Board or in the absence of a Committee, by the Board itself. The Committee must consist of at least two (2) directors.
Employees, directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other persons associated with the Company are eligible to receive common stock and options under the Plan. The Committee determines, among other things, who is eligible to receive common stock and/or stock options, the number of shares granted or subject to an option, the time at which common stock is issued or an option is granted, the duration of an option and the exercise price of an option. The Committee has the right to adopt or rescind rules for the administration of the Plan, correct defects and omissions in, reconcile inconsistencies, and construe the Plan. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
Amendment and Termination
The Board or the Committee may at any time, and from time to time, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such respects as the Board or Committee may deem appropriate and in the best interest of the company; provided that no amendment or suspension of the Plan or any award shall impair any outstanding option without the approval of the optionee. All grants must be within ten years from the date the Plan is approved or adopted by the stockholders.
Payment of Exercise Price
Payment of the option price on exercise of stock options may be made in cash, or if approved by the Committee, shares of common stock of the company or a combination of both.
Tax Treatment to the Recipients
The common stock is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The recipients, therefore, will be required for federal income tax purposes to recognize compensation during the taxable year of issuance unless the shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, absent a specific contractual provision to the contrary, the recipients will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt since there will be no substantial risk of forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. If, however, the recipients receive shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of an option or options at an exercise price below the fair market value of the
shares on the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise will be deemed compensation for federal income tax purposes. The recipients are urged to consult each of their tax advisors on this matter.
SHAREHOLDERS WRITTEN CONSENT
IN LIEU OF ANNUAL MEETING
QUICK-MED TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
A recipient will not recognize any taxable income at the time a non-qualified stock option is granted. However, upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the recipient will include in income as compensation an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise and the recipient’s exercise price. The included amount will be treated as ordinary income by the recipient and may be subject to withholding. Upon resale of the shares by the recipient, any subsequent appreciation or depreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as capital gain or loss.
Tax Treatment to the Company
The amount of income recognized by any recipient hereunder in accordance with the foregoing discussion will be a tax-deductible expense by Composite Technology for federal income tax purposes in the taxable year of Composite Technology during which the recipient recognizes income.
2001 Stock Incentive Plan Benefits Table
The following sets the amount of common stock and options received by or allocated to each of the following under the Plan:
