NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Nature of Operations

 

Quantum Materials Corp., a Nevada corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Company”) are headquartered in 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-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 June 30, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $5,385,949 and net cash used in operating activities was $(184,090) for the three months ended September 30, 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, 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 fixtures     7 years  
Computers and software     3 years  
Machinery and equipment     3 - 10 years

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.

 

Debt Issuance Costs: The costs related to the issuance of debt are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the maturity period of the related debt. Accumulated amortization was $145,545 and $86,555 at June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $58,990 and $88,956 respectively.

 

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

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.

 

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

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The revenue recognition standard affects all entities that have contracts with customers, except for certain items. The new revenue recognition standard eliminates the transaction and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and replaces it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Public business entities are required to adopt the revenue recognition standard for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. Early adoption of this updated guidance is permitted as of the original effective date of December 31, 2016. The Company does not anticipate or expect adoption of this ASU will have a material effect to the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment.

 

As of September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximates book value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, the carrying value of its debt obligations approximates fair value. As of September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018, the Company held no investments. The Company hired an independent resource to value its derivative liability as follows (unaudited):

B) January 2015 Convertible Debenture

 

On January 15, 2015, the Company entered into Convertible Debenture Agreements to obtain $500,000 in gross proceeds from two non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Debenture Holders”). The Debentures have a term of two years maturing on January 15, 2017 and bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The debentures are pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty. The Debenture Holders have the right of conversion into unregistered and restricted shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.06 per share at any date. The Debenture Holders received 6,250,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $0.06 per share through January 15, 2017. The debt is secured by a security interest in certain microreactor equipment. The Agreement also provides for the investors to have the right to appoint one member to the Company’s Board of Directors in the event any one of the aforementioned debentures are converted into common stock of the Company. On October 10, 2016, the maturity date of the debentures was extended to January 15, 2018 and the 6,250,000 warrants were converted into common stock for total proceeds of $375,000. On January 12, 2018 the debentures were extended for ten days to January 25, 2018. On January 24, 2018, the debentures were extended to December 15, 2018. As compensation for extending the debentures, the Debenture Holders received 3,500,000 shares of Common Stock, which were valued at $0.06 per share, a total of $210,000 recorded as debt extension expense.

 

In accounting for the convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received in the amount of $348,105, recorded as debt discount and is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan, two years. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $10,082 and $10,082, respectively.

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. The conversion price was reset to $0.012 per share in June 2018 as a result of a triggering event.

 

In accounting for the convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received in the amount of $609,595, recorded as debt discount and is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan, two years.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, of $26,067 and $31,444, respectively.

 

During the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $455,000 and $285,000 of principal was converted into 3,791,666 and 2,375,000 shares of common stock respectively. As of September 30, and June 30, 2018, $1,275,000 of principal was outstanding. As of the date of this report, maturities totaling $825,000 of principal have been extended for one year until March and April of 2019, and the remaining $250,000 have not been extended, and are past due as of the date of this report.

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 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.

 

In accounting for the convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received in the amount of $73,250, recorded as debt discount and is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loans, two years.

In connection with the first funding tranche, SBI and L2 received 253,525 and 760,576 common stock warrants, respectively, exercisable at $0.13 per share through March 28, 2022. At each subsequent funding to the first tranche, the Company will issue to each of SBI and L2 Capital warrants to purchase 50% of the total amount of each tranche funded plus the applicable original issue discount, divided by the lesser of (i) the closing bid of the common stock on March 29, 2017 and (ii) the closing bid price of the common stock on the funding date of each respective tranche. The promissory notes have a term of six months from the issuance date and bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum. The promissory notes are not pre-payable by the Company without penalty. The promissory notes are convertible into unregistered and restricted shares of Common Stock only if there is an Event of Default as defined in the notes.

 

In March 2017, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement (“Eloc”) with SBI and L2 Capital, allowing them to purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock.

NOTE 8 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718 “Compensation — Stock Compensation” for share-based payments which requires all stock-based payments, including stock options, to be recognized as an operating expense over the vesting period, based on their grant date fair values.

 

In October 2009 the Board of Directors authorized the approval of a stock option plan covering 7,500,000 shares of common stock, which was increased to 10,000,000 shares in December 2009 and approved by stockholders in January 2010. The Plan provides for the direct issuance of common stock and the grant of incentive and non-incentive stock options. As of September 30, 2018, 9,200,000 options have been granted, with terms ranging from five to ten years, and 800,000 have been cancelled leaving a balance of 8,400,000 of options outstanding. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 1,500,000 shares of restricted stock out of the plan, leaving 100,000 options or grants available for grant under the plan.

 

In March 2012, 3,500,000 stock options, with a term of five years, were granted outside of a stock option plan. In March 2017, the term of these options was extended for an additional five years. In June 2016, and 2017, 6,000,000 and 17,000,000 stock options, with a term of ten years, were granted, respectively, outside of a stock option plan, and 3,000,000 shares were cancelled, leaving a balance of 23,500,000 outstanding outside of a defined option plan.

 

In January 2013 the Board of Directors authorized the approval of a stock option plan covering 20,000,000 shares of common stock, which was increased to 60,000,000 shares in March 2013 and approved by stockholders in March 2013. The Plan provides for the direct issuance of common stock and the grant of incentive and non-incentive stock options. As of September 30, 2018, 72,653,473 options have been granted, with terms ranging from five to ten years, 3,325,000 have been exercised and 18,886,559 have been cancelled, and 50,441,914 remain outstanding.

 

On February 17, 2016, the Shareholders approved the 2015 Employee Benefit and Consulting Services Compensation Plan covering 15,000,000 shares. The Plan provides for the direct issuance of common stock and the grant of incentive and non-incentive stock options. As of September 30, 2018, 4,900,000 options have been granted with a term of five years, and 1,625,000 have been cancelled leaving a balance outstanding of 3,275,000 options.

 

Incentive Stock Options: The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The volatility is based on expected volatility over the expected life of thirty-six to sixty months. Compensation cost is recognized based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, therefore, the Company has reduced the cost for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates, which were between 14% and 17% during the three months ended September 30, 2018. 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 three months ended September 30, 2017 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. As no options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2018, no corresponding assumptions were calculated.

NOTE 11 — LITIGATION

 

The Company was served in Hays County, Texas in a complaint for breach of contract in February 2017. In April 2017, the Company settled this complaint for $129,000 payable over a four-month period. As of the filing date of this Form 10-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 injunction 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 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 previously requested, and also postponing discovery until rulings in Florida and Kansas, or until further order of the court. The court also announced that when Florida and Kansas have spoken, discovery will be expedited. A jurisdiction hearing for the Florida case on August 15, 2018 resulted in the lawsuit being dismissed and a hearing is scheduled in Kansas in April 2019.

 

The Company expects to successful in the L2 and SBI litigation. The ultimate outcome is not determinable and as such, no liability has been recorded for this contingent liability at March 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, the 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 $100,000 per month. The Company has accrued $319,000 in relation to this action. Quantum moved to disqualify K&L Gates. The day before Quantum’s motion to disqualify was ruled on, K&L Gates withdrew in lieu of the Austin law firm Cleveland & Terrazas. On September 21, 2018, the “Deputy General Counsel of K&L Gates,” Mr. Charles Tea, sent a demand for payment of over $300,000 to Quantum’s CEO.

Business Overview

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

History of the Company

 

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.

 

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 Dr. Ghassan Jabbour, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

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

 

The Bayer Patents, the UA License, organically developed technologies and our proprietary continuous flow manufacturing process comprise our fundamental asset platform. We believe that the intellectual property and proprietary technologies position the 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.

 

In 2016, Mr. Squires returned as President and CEO and implemented a cost reduction initiative streamlining the G&A overhead and devoting more resources to R&D and commercialization readiness. These efforts have resulted in further optimization of the chemistry and the products. Through this refinement, we have been able to continually refine and increase the throughput of our 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 the ability to provide industry leading material performance at a very competitive price point.

 

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.

 

  31  
 

 

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 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 September 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $5,385,949, with total current assets and liabilities of $1,230,813 and $6,616,762 respectively. Included in the liabilities are $1,372,450 owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through September 30, 2018, $3,472,214 of convertible debentures, net of unamortized discount and $119,447 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 September 30, 2018, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $21,835. We continue to incur losses in operations. Over the past five years we have primarily relied on sales of common stock and debt instruments to support operations as well as employees and consultants agreeing to defer payment of wages and fees owed to them and/or converting such wages and fees into securities of the Company. Management believes it may be necessary for the Company to rely on external financing to supplement working capital to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the fiscal years ended 2019 and 2020; the success of securing such financing on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all, cannot be assured. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.

 

The following table summarizes the net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

 

    Three Months Ended  
    September 30,  
    2018     2017  
             
Operating activities   $ (184,090 )   $ (345,128 )
Investing activities     -       -  
Financing activities   $ 203,900     $ 452,644  

 

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $184,090 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $345,128 for the same period of 2017, a decrease in cash used of $161,038. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased in net loss for the quarter, decreased payments on accounts payable, and decreased payments for prepaid expenses.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily related to purchases of equipment. No purchases of capital equipment occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2018 or 2017.

 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $203,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $452,644 for the same period of 2017, a decrease of $248,744. The decrease is primarily due to fewer issuances of convertible debentures, and lower proceeds from notes payable and fewer principal payments on debentures and notes payable due to maturities, and an increase of proceeds for the sale of common stock during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Our 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.

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 September 30, 2018 was $3,454,550. The terms of the instruments are set forth in the following table.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018, Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2017.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

During the three months ended September 31, 2018, the Company incurred $1,361,732 of general and administrative expenses compared with $1,267,453 incurred in the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $94,279, or 7.4%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases in professional fees, legal and audit, and general corporate expenses, partially offset by compensation expense, including stock-based compensation.

 

  33  
 

 

Included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 are the following:

 

    Three Months Ended              
    September 30,     Increase/        
    2018     2017     (Decrease)     %

Total General and Administrative Expenses   $ 1,361,732     $ 1,267,453     $ 94,279       7.4 %

 

Research and development expenses

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred $23,087 of research and development expenses, a decrease of $54,855, or 70.4% from the $77,942 recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to decreased expenditures for lab equipment, repairs and maintenance, and chemicals and consumables in the San Marcos facility.

 

Beneficial conversion feature on convertible debenture

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 the Company incurred $16,870 of beneficial conversion expense compared to $752,426 recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in beneficial conversion expenses of $735,556, or 97.8% was due primarily to a triggering event, creating a down-round feature in certain debentures to be recognized during the three months ending September 30, 2017.

 

Interest expense, net

 

Interest expense recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $51,085 compared to $700,693 in the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $649,608, or 92.7%. The decreased interest expense recorded in the three months ending September 30, 2017 was primarily related a $436,000 charge to interest expense related to a derivative liability, that has subsequently no longer exists, a decrease of principal of the 8% interest rate on the debentures of outstanding convertible debentures, and interest recorded due to debenture extensions.

 

Change in value of derivative liability

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 the Company recorded a benefit of $90,709 related to the change in value of derivative liability. The benefit is related to the change in value of the convertible debentures feature issued in March and May of 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 the Company recorded an expense of $82,162 related to the change in value of derivative liability. The expense is related to the change in value of the “make-whole” provision issued in relation to debenture extensions during the fourth quarter of 2018.

 

Accretion of debt discount

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018 the Company recorded $90,010 of accretion of debt discount expense, a decrease of $241,152, or 72.8% from the $331,162 recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in accretion of debt discount expense is primarily related to the issuance of the convertible debentures during the quarter.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure 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 ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the 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 reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In 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 our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2018, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.

 

In 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 our 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 the lack of timely and effective review of the Company’s period-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 systematically. The Company believes its recently hired personnel, or through professional engagement of consultants, will improve its documentation and internal control processes and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange 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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

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

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

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

 

We currently have a substantial amount of outstanding indebtedness. As of September 30, 2018, we had a working capital deficit of $5,385,949, with total current assets and liabilities of $1,230,813 and $6,616,762 respectively. Included in the liabilities are $3,472,214 of convertible debentures, net of unamortized discount, and $119,447 of notes payable that are due within one year. In addition to disputed amounts already in litigation, an aggregate principal amount of $250,000 of our outstanding convertible debentures is past due as of the date of this report. There can be no assurance that the holders of these debentures will not declare an event of default and demand immediate payment of the amounts owed.

 

We have relied on financing through the issuance of common stock and convertible debentures. As of September 30, 2018, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $21,835. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow in the future to service our debt, we may be required to refinance all or a portion of our existing debt or to obtain additional financing. There can be no assurance that any refinancings will be possible or that any additional financing could be obtained on terms acceptable to us. The inability to obtain additional financing could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity and results of operations. Our substantial indebtedness subjects us to various risks, including:

 

we may be unable to satisfy our obligations under our outstanding indebtedness;
we may be more vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry conditions;
we may find it more difficult to fund future working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other purposes; and
we may have to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash resources to the payments on our outstanding indebtedness, thereby reducing the funds available for operations and future business opportunities.

 

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

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in this report, we have recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented and have a history of losses. Our ability of to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to reverse negative operating trends, obtain revenues from operations, raise additional capital, and/or obtain debt financing. 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 we will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern, if at all. The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report 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.

We have a history of losses and we may not be able to sustain profitability in the future.

 

We continue to be a development stage company and face risks associated with introducing new products based on new technologies. We continue to incur losses in operations. 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 our securities. Management believes it may be necessary for us to rely on external financing to supplement working capital to meet the Company’s liquidity needs in the fiscal years ended 2019 and 2020. The success of securing such financing on terms acceptable to us, if at all, cannot be assured. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, our stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Our license agreement with the University of Arizona requires minimum annual royalties, which we have been unable to pay.

 

Solterra’s Exclusive Patent License Agreement with the University of Arizona requires Solterra to pay minimum annual royalties, which we have been unable to pay to date. While the licensor has in the past waived certain milestone dates and extended certain payment dates, there is no assurance that we will meet the new milestones or payment requirements or that UA will agree to waive any future requirements. Termination of the license agreement could materially and adversely affect our business.

 

  37  

 

 

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

 

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

 

Our ongoing research and development functions present significant challenges.

 

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

 

Our proprietary rights may be difficult to enforce.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  38  

 

 

We rely on the availability of third-party licenses .

 

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

 

Our business is subject to environmental and other regulations.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

we will need to raise additional capital in order to finance the costs of constructing and equipping of large scale manufacturing facilities, which we may be unable to do so on reasonable terms or at all, and which could be dilutive to our existing stockholders;
the build-out of any facilities will be subject to the risks inherent in the development of a manufacturing facility, including risks of delays and cost overruns as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be out of our control, such as delays in government approvals, burdensome permit conditions and delays in the delivery of manufacturing equipment from numerous suppliers;
we may be required to depend on third parties or strategic partnerships that we establish in the development and operation of additional production capacity, which may subject us to risks that such third parties do not fulfill their obligations to us under our arrangements with them; and
we may be required to obtain licenses, permits or authorizations from regulatory authorities, the failure of which to obtain, could delay or prevent the construction or opening of large-scale manufacturing facilities.

 

  39  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

If we are unable to develop successfully our distribution relationships and distribution channels, our revenues and future prospects will be materially harmed. As we seek to enter into commercial production of our products, our business plan will depend substantially on our ability to establish and expand our distribution channels by identifying, developing and maintaining relationships with product manufacturers and resellers. We may be unable to enter into these relationships in the markets we target or on terms and conditions favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to sell our products into new markets or to further penetrate existing markets for QDs, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 

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

 

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

 

  40  

 

 

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

 

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

 

difficulty in recruiting and retaining individuals skilled in international business operations;
the difficulty of managing and staffing international offices and the increased travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with multiple international locations;
our executive officers’ lack of proximity to the international activities being managed and the inherent limitations of cross-border information flow;
the management of our relationships with distributors outside the United States, whose sales and lead generation activities are very important to our international operations;
difficulties in enforcing contracts and collecting accounts receivable, and longer payment cycles, especially in emerging markets;
tariffs and trade barriers and other regulatory limitations on our ability to sell our products in certain foreign markets;
increased exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk;
potential exposure to adverse tax consequences;
shortages in component parts and raw materials;
import and export and trade regulation changes that could erode our profit margins or restrict our ability to transport our products;
the burden and cost of complying with foreign and U.S. laws governing corporate conduct outside the U.S.;
potential restrictions on the transfer of funds between countries;
import and export duties and value-added taxes;
natural disasters, including earthquakes, typhoons and tsunamis;
increased exposure to possible violations of U.S. laws regulating the export of our products, and to other U.S. and foreign laws affecting the conduct of business globally such as product certification, environmental and waste management and data privacy laws;
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries; and
political and economic instability.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  41  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We are, and in the future may become, subject to lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings in the normal course of our business, such as our ongoing litigation with SBI Investments LLC, 2014-1, and L2 Capital, LLC. Some of these legal and regulatory proceeds could be material. Litigation can be expensive, lengthy, and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. As a result, future adverse rulings, settlements, or unfavorable developments could result in charges that could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition in any particular period. For additional information regarding certain of the matters in which we are involved, see Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled “Litigation.”

 

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

 

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

 

  42  

 

 

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

 

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

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

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

 

As discussed in Part II, Item 9A, entitled “Controls and Procedures,” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, and Part II, Item 4, entitled “Controls Procedures” in this report, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. The material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to the lack of timely and effective review of our period-end closing process and adequate personnel and resources.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

  43  

 

 

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 our common stock and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, property or services, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. Also, any stock we sell in the future may be valued on an arbitrary basis by us and the issuance of shares of common stock for future services, acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.

 

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

 

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

 

Our common stock has traded in the over-the-counter marketplace on the OTCQB under the symbol “QTMM” since October 2018. Previously, our common stock was quoted on the OTC Pink marketplace from November 2017 to October 2018 and on the OTCQB previous to November 2017. There can be no assurance that our common stock will continue to be, or be admitted to, trade on any established trading market or exchange. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will maintain the requirements for continued listing or trading on an established trading market or exchange.

 

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

 

our ability to commercialize our products and technologies;
the amount and timing of expenses associated with our research and development programs and our ability to develop enhancements to our manufacturing processes and our products;
additions or departures of key scientific or management personnel;
our ability to effectively manage our growth;
the cost of raw materials;
our ability and the terms upon which we are able to raise capital sufficient to continue our operations;
our cash position;
sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders in the future;
trading volume of our common stock;
changes in accounting practices;
ineffectiveness of our internal controls;
disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our technologies;
significant lawsuits, including creditor, patent or stockholder litigation;
industry adoption of QD technology or other new competing technologies;
the rate and cost at which we are able to expand our manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated product demand, including the rate and cost at which we are able to implement advances in our QD technologies;
our ability to establish and expand key distribution partners;
our ability to establish strategic relationships with third parties to accelerate our growth plans;
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;

 

  44  

 

 

developments in the competitive environment, including the introduction of improved products or technological advancements by our competitors;
overall performance of the equity markets;
publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;
our failure to meet the estimates and projections of the investment community or that we may otherwise provide to the public;
changes in the market valuations of similar companies;
general political and economic conditions; and
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

From July 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, we had the following sales and issuances of unregistered equity securities:
