PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT
Item 3. INCORPORATION OF
CERTAIN DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE
Incorporated hereby by reference and made a
part hereof is the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File no. 000-52956) filed under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and which became effective on December 6, 2007, registering the Registrant's Common Stock
under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c),
14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered
have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents.
Item 4.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Not
applicable.
Item 5. INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS
AND COUNSEL
The legality of the securities
being registered by this Registration Statement is being passed upon by Morse & Morse PLLC, 1400 Old Country Road, Suite 302,
Westbury, NY 11590,counsel to the Registrant.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS
AND OFFICERS
Our company is incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada, which laws provide for indemnification of officers and directors under certain circumstances.
Our Bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under the general corporation law of
the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines
and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered in connection with acting as directors of our company.
Our articles of incorporation
provide that no Director or Officer of the corporation shall be personally liable to the corporation or any of its stockholders
for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director or Officer involving any act or omission of any such Director or Officer;
provided, however, that: the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a Director or Officer (i) for acts
or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in
violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the Stockholders of the
corporation shall be prospective only, and shall not adversely affect any limitations on the personal liability of a Director or
Officer of the corporation for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification.
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company
under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of our company in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 9. UNDERTAKINGS
A. To Update
Annually
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that it will (other than as provided in the proviso to item 512(a) of Regulation S-K) (1) file, during any period
in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement (i) to include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (ii) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement, and (iii) include any additional or
changed material information on the plan of distribution; (2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of such securities
at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) file a post-effective amendment to remove from
registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
B. Incorporation
of Subsequent Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Documents by Reference
The undersigned registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing
of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in
the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Insofar as indemnification
for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8 of Quantum
Materials Corp.
Gentlemen:
You have requested our
opinion as counsel for Quantum Materials Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act') with respect to shares (the "Shares")
of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Registrant which may be issued pursuant to the direct issuance of shares or
exercise of options granted or to be granted under the Registrant's 2013 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Corporation Plan
covering up to 60,000,000 shares (the “2013 Plan”).
We have examined such corporate
records and other documents and have made such examination of law as we have deemed relevant in connection with this opinion.
Based upon the foregoing,
we advise you that in our opinion each authorized but unissued Share issued by the Registrant in accordance with the terms of the
2013 Plan, upon the direct issuance of shares and/or exercise of options properly granted (or to be granted) under the 2013 Plan,
is duly authorized, and, when (a) the applicable provisions of such "blue sky" and securities laws as may be applicable
have been complied with and (b) each such Share has been delivered in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Plan, assuming no change
in the applicable law or pertinent facts, each such Share will be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
We hereby consent to the
filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, and we further consent to the use of our name therein under
the caption "Interests of Named Experts and Counsel," in Part II of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent,
we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules
and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
MORSE &
