Business Overview
Quantum Materials Corp. is a start-up solar technology and quantum dot
manufacturing firm. We perceive an opportunity to acquire a significant amount
of both quantum dot and solar photovoltaic market share by commercializing a low
cost quantum dot processing technology and a low cost quantum dot based third
generation photovoltaic technology/solar cell, pursuant to an exclusive license
agreement with William Marsh Rice University ("Rice University" or "Rice"). Our
objective is for Quantum to become the first bulk manufacturer of high quality
tetrapod quantum dots and for Solterra to be the first solar cell manufacturer
to be able to offer a solar electricity solution that competes on a
non-subsidized basis with the price of retail electricity in key markets in
North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Competitors are pursuing different nanotechnological approaches to developing
solar cells, but the general idea is the same for all. When light hits an atom
in a semiconductor, those photons of light with lots of energy can push an
electron out of its nice stable orbital around the atom. The electron is then
free to move from atom to atom, like the electrons in a piece of metal when it
conducts electricity. Using nano-size bits of semiconductor embedded in a
conductive plastic maximizes the chance that an electron can escape the
nanoparticle and reach the conductive plastic before it is "trapped" by another
atom that has also been stripped of an electron. Once in the plastic, the
electron can travel through wires connecting the solar cell to an electronic
device. It can then wander back to the nanocrystal to join an atom that has a
positive charge, which scientifically is called "electron-hole recombination".
A quantum dot solar cell typically uses a thin layer of quantum dot
semiconductor material, rather than silicon chips, to convert sunlight into
electricity. Quantum Dots, also known as nanocrystals, measure near one
billionth of an inch and are a non-traditional type of semiconductor. Management
believes that they can be used as an enabling material across many industries
and that quantum dots are unparalleled in versatility and flexible in form. See
"Note 5" regarding License Agreements with Rice University.
Quantum intends to design and manufacture solar cells using a proprietary thin
film semiconductor technology that we believe will allow us to reduce our
average solar cell manufacturing costs and be extremely competitive in this
market. Quantum will be one of the first companies to integrate non-silicon
quantum dot thin film technology into high volume low cost production using
proprietary technologies. Our objective is to become one of the first solar
module manufacturers to offer a solar electricity solution that competes on a
non-subsidized basis with the price of retail electricity in key markets in
North America, Europe and Asia. Management believes that the manufacture of our
thin film quantum dot solar cells can introduce a cost effective disruptive
technology that can help accelerate the conversion from a fossil fuel dependent
energy infrastructure to one based on renewable, carbon-neutral energy sources.
We believe that our proposed products also can be a part of the solution to
greenhouse gases and global warming.

Plan of Reorganization, Recent Financing and Change in Control
On November 4, 2008, the Company closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger and
Reorganization by and among the Company, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc.
("Solterra"), the shareholders of Solterra and Gregory Chapman as "Indemnitor"
(the "Agreement"), which resulted in Solterra becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Chapman cancelled 40,000,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company owned by him and issued a general release
in favor of the Company terminating its obligations to repay Mr. Chapman monies
owed to him.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Company issued 41,250,000 shares of its
Common Stock to the former stockholders of Solterra. Certain existing
stockholders of the Company in consideration of Solterra and its shareholders
completing the transaction, issued to the Company a Promissory Note in the
amount of $3,500,000 due and payable on or before January 15, 2009, through the
payment of cash or, with the consent of the Company, the cancellation of up to
12,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of the Company owned by them. While
this note is in default and the Company has made demand for payment and is
considering all legal options, our Management does not believe that this Note is
collectible.
On November 4, 2008, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement,
Debenture, Security Agreement, Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, Registration
Rights Agreement, Escrow Agreement, Stock Pledge Agreement and other related
transactional documents (the "Transaction Documents") to obtain $1,500,000 in
gross proceeds from three non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter
referred to as the "Lenders") in exchange for 3,525,000 restricted shares of
Common Stock of the Company (the "Restricted Shares") and Debentures in the
principal amount aggregating $1,500,000. Each Debenture has a term of three
years maturing on November 4, 2011, which was recently extended to November 4,
2013, bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is prepayable by the
Company at anytime without penalty, subject to the Debenture holders' conversion
rights. Each Debenture is convertible at the option of each Lender into the
Company's Common Stock (the "Debenture Shares", which together with the
Restricted Shares shall collectively be referred to as the "Securities"),
currently at a conversion price of $.12 per share (the "Conversion Price"). The
Registration Rights Agreement requires the Company to register the resale of the
Securities within certain time limits and to be subject to certain penalties in
the event the Company fails to timely file the Registration Statement, fails to
obtain an effective Registration Statement or, once effective, to maintain an
effective Registration Statement until the Securities are saleable pursuant to
Rule 144 without volume restriction or other limitations on sale. The Debentures
are secured by the assets of the Company and are guaranteed by Solterra as the
Company's subsidiary. In the event the Debentures are converted in their
entirety, the Company would be required to issue an aggregate of 12,500,000
shares of the Company's Common Stock, subject to anti-dilution protection for
stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reclassifications and sale of the
Company's Common Stock a price below the Conversion Price. Certain changes of
control or fundamental transactions such as a merger or consolidation with
another company could cause an event of default under the Transaction. We also
entered into a Standstill Agreement with the Debenture Holders effective June 1,
2009 which was amended and expired on December 1, 2009. At the time the
Standstill Agreement expired, the Company did not have an effective registration
statement, registering the resale of all Registrable Securities as required by
the Registration Rights Agreement. Nevertheless, management believes that no
such registration statement was then or is currently required to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission as management believes that all
securities of the Company held by the Debenture Holders are saleable pursuant to
Rule 144 without volume restriction or other limitations on sale, so long as the
Debenture Holders are not affiliated parties of the Company. As of the filing
date of this Form 10-Q, the Debenture Holders have taken no action under the
Registration Rights Agreement or other transaction documents to notify the
Company that it is in default under any of such agreements even though an event
of default may be deemed to exist for several reasons; including, without
limitation, those enumerated above and the Company's failure to obtain director
and officer liability insurance, failure to make a payment of interest on a
timely basis and failure to be current from time-to-time with all obligations
and responsibilities owed to Rice under our license agreement.
On December 18, 2011 the Company executed an agreement with the debenture
holders to extend the maturity date of the convertible debenture to November 4,
2012. All other terms in the original agreement remain unchanged. In addition,
the debenture holders were granted 2,000,000 three-year common stock warrants
with a strike price of $0.08.
On October 12, 2012 the Company executed an agreement with the debenture holders
to extend the maturity date of the convertible debenture to November 4,
2013. All other terms in the original agreement remain unchanged. In addition,
the debenture holders were granted 2,000,000 three-year common stock warrants
with a strike price of $0.08.
Plan of Operation
Since November 4, 2008, the Company is executing its business plan as follows:
Solterra plans to:
a) Scale up Quantum Dot Production by applying proprietary technology licensed
from Rice University for our quantum dot synthesis process and accomplishing
large scale production using proprietary Micro-Reactor technology jointly
developed through an agreement with Access2Flow an advanced flow chemistry
consortium based in the Netherlands. These proprietary technologies enable
Solterra to produce the highly desirable tetrapod quantum dots at a cost
savings of greater than 75% compared to competing suppliers, and will
organically supply Solterra's requirements for quantum dots for its solar
cells and other quantum dot enabled products. Additionally, Solterra intends
to market these Q-Dots through various existing supply channels into various
markets, including but not limited to medical diagnostics and electronics.
The initial pilot scale up will take place at the Access2Flow facilities in
the Netherlands and once optimized will be relocated to a solar cell
production facility, which is anticipated to be located in Saudi Arabia.

b) Fabricate solar cells and optimize the performance of solar cells based on a
proprietary blend of quantum dots (QDs). The aim is to invest our best
efforts to demonstrate and scale up production of low cost quantum dot solar
cells having peak efficiency of greater than 6%. The efficiency of solar
cells is the electrical power it puts out as percentage of the power in
incident sunlight. Within the photovoltaic market, cell pricing and peak
efficiency are key benchmarks for consumers in the decision for system
selection and installation. The design and manufacture of Solterra's quantum
dot based solar cells is projected to allow for the conversion of sunlight
into usable electricity at a combination of efficiencies and cell cost at a
very low "cents per kilowatt-hour" rate. This work to date has been
accomplished on site at the Arizona State University labs but is being
relocated better accommodate the logistic requirements of our Chief Science
Officer, Professor Ghassan Jabbour, who is working at Kaust University in
Saudi Arabia.
Objectives:
The Current Objectives of Solterra upon receipt of additional financing
are as follows:
· Become the first bulk manufacture of high quality tetrapod quantum dots and
the first solar cell manufacturer to be able to offer a solar electricity
solution that competes on a non-subsidized basis with the price of retail
electricity in key markets in North America, South America, Europe the Middle
East and Asia.
· Build a robust intellectual property portfolio in third generation
photovoltaics, quantum dot process technologies and other quantum dot enabled
technologies. Success criteria include completion of preparation and filing of
various patent applications in the area of Quantum Dot Solar Cell technology,
defining and initiating the strategy to secure a reliable source of key
materials, and filing or acquiring additional process related patent
applications in solar or printed electronics, which intellectual property
would be owned or controlled by Solterra.
· Initiate scaled manufacturing of tetrapod quantum dots, based in part on
technology licensed from William H. Marsh Rice University, and building on
continued research. Planning includes the implementation of one or more pilot
lines based on outcomes of collaboration with Access2Flow, an advanced flow
chemistry consortium based in the Netherlands. The design of the pilot line is
intended such that the initial target output of the line, at approximately one
kilogram per day, can be further scaled at least by an order of magnitude to
100 Kilograms per day in 2012. The output of the tetrapod quantum dots
manufacturing will be used for Solterra's quantum dot solar cells as well as
stand-alone sales into the biomedical research fields and to third party
developers of quantum dot products such as displays, memory and computer and
consumer electronics.
· Continue to develop and characterize the Quantum Dot Solar Cell product;
moving towards pilot proof line for solar cells and leading to high throughput
print line ultimately capable of yearly solar cell output near gigawatt range.
Target cell efficiencies are 6% within one year, 15% within 2 years and
greater than 25% within five years. Coupled within cell cost per watt
decreasing below $.75/Watt, we intend to pursue initial product sales in early
2013 with significant increases later in 2013.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2012 the Company had a working capital deficit of $3,726,586
with total current assets of $29,724 and liabilities of
$3,756,310. Approximately $1,546,018 of these liabilities are owed to our
officers, directors and employees for services rendered and expenses not
reimbursed through December 31, 2012. The Company has been in the development
stage since inception. As a result, the Company has relied on financing through
the issuance of common stock and a convertible debenture as well as advances
from a director shareholder and employees' wages being partially or fully
accrued but not paid.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company lacks sufficient cash and cash equivalent
assets and continues to incur losses in its development stage operations. In the
past, the Company has been relying on loans from its Chief Executive Officer
resulting from private sale transactions in our common stock owned by him. The
Company has also relied on various universities to perform work and to provide
U.S. licensing rights under business agreements. The Company is in arrears in
payments related to these business agreements. The company also owes $1,546,000
in back wages and salaries; employees and consultants have agreed to defer
payment of the wages and fees owed to them. Currently, the Company is seeking
additional financing; however, no definitive agreements for additional financing
have been received and the Company cannot provide any assurance that additional
funding will be available to finance our operations on terms acceptable to us,
if at all, in order to support our plan of operations. If we are unable to
achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then our
stockholders may lose their entire investment in the Company. See "Notes to
Financial Statements."
Cash was used in operating activities of $218,434 for the six months ended
December 31, 2012. This is a result of a net loss of $1,355,449 partially offset
by non-cash items including stock issued for debenture interest $75,862, options
issued for services of $181,542, as well as change in accounts payables and
accrued liabilities of $39,320, change in accrued liabilities related parties
$527,073, and a change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion feature
of $100,000. Cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended
December 31, 2012 were $232,897 which consisted of $232,897 from the proceeds of
the sale of common stock. This resulted in a increase in cash for the period of
$14,463 and cash on hand at the end of the period of $29,724.

Cash was used in operating activities of $201,851 for the six months ended
December 31, 2011. This is a result of a net loss of $728,258 partially offset
by non-cash items including stock issued for debenture interest $72,755, as well
as change in accounts payables and accrued liabilities of $36,253, change in
accrued liabilities related parties $254,770, change in fair value of warrants
and embedded conversion feature of ($469,000), amortization of convertible
debenture discount of $586,729 and amortization of deferred finance cost of
$36,167 and non-cash warrant expense of $7,644. Cash flows from financing
activities during the six months ended December 31, 2011 were $270,000 which
consisted of $270,000 from the proceeds of the sale of common stock. This
resulted in an increase in cash for the period of $68,247 and cash on hand at
the end of the period of $68,149.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which
assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its
operations for its next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially
different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not
give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying value and
classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2012, the Company had not yet
achieved profitable operations, had accumulated losses of $12,822,476 (since its
inception), hand had a working capital deficit of $3,726,586 . The
company expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all
of which casts substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to
obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities
arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company requires
immediate and substantial additional financing during fiscal 2013 to maintain
its development stage operations. The Company is exploring all reasonable
avenues of financing at this time, including, without limitation, the sale of
equity, debt borrowing and/or the receipt of product licensing fees and
royalties. We can provide no assurances that such financing will be obtained on
terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. Further, we can provide no
assurances that one or more mutually acceptable licensing agreement(s) will be
entered into on terms satisfactory to us, if at all. In this respect, see "Note
1" in our notes to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information as to the possibility that we may not be able to continue as a
"going concern."
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would
affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk
support or other benefits.

Loans from Stephen Squires
In January 2010, the board of directors granted Mr. Squires the option to
convert his cash loans to the Company into common stock of the Company's
subsidiary. In this respect, Mr. Squires has a two-year option to convert up to
$200,000 into a maximum of 5% of the outstanding common stock of Solterra. As of
the filing date of this Form 10-K, Mr. Squires has declined to exercise this
option.
16
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In November 2008, Mr. Squires received 35,500,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock as part of a plan of reorganization, 20,000,000 of which he pledged to
secure certain company indebtedness. Between December 2008 and December 2010,
Mr. Squires privately sold an aggregate of approximately 13,431,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock for an aggregate of $595,000. Mr. Squires advanced to
the Company cash loans and made payment of Company expenses utilizing $270,145
of the net proceeds of these private sales. On December 30, 2010, the Board of
Directors authorized Mr. Squires to receive 10,000,000 restricted shares of
Quantum Material Corp. in recognition of his support of the Company and in
cancellation of all outstanding cash loans and advanced expenses totaling
$270,145.
Results of operations - Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
General and administrative expenses
During the three months ended December 31, 2012 the Company incurred $411,997 of
general and administrative expenses a increase of $151,099 from the $260,898
recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in general
and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in remuneration of
staff of $131,484.
Included in the expenses for the current three months ended December 31, 2012
were remuneration of staff $323,064, legal and audit of $23,310, travel expense
of $34,595, corporate expense of $24,743, and amortization of furniture and
equipment of $409. This compares to the three months ended December 31, 2011
which included remuneration of staff $191,580, legal and audit of $18,698,
travel expense of $27,954, office expenses of $936, corporate expense of
$12,770, other professional fees of $938, and amortization of furniture and
equipment of $544.
Research and development expenses.
Research and development expenses of $2,000 were incurred in the three months
ended December 31, 2012, compared to $6,671 in the three months ended December
31, 2011. The decrease is the result of a decrease in royalties of $6,671,
offset by an increase in patent expense of $2,000.
Amortization of convertible debenture discount
The convertible debenture discount of $1,500,000 is being amortized over the 36
month term of the debenture using the effective interest method. The debenture
was issued on November 4, 2008. Amortization recorded for the three month period
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $nil and $329,585, respectively. The
amortized balance of the discount at December 31, 2012 is $nil resulting in the
convertible debenture value on the balance sheet net of the discount
$1,500,000.
Amortization of deferred finance cost
This amount relates to the $315,000 of expenses associated with the $1,500,000
convertible debenture financing raised in November 2008. The deferred financing
cost is being amortized using the effective interest method over the thirty-six
month life of the debenture. Amortization expense for the three months ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $nil and $9,917, respectively.
Interest expense on the convertible debenture
This amount relates to the 8% interest associated with the $1,500,000
convertible debenture issued in November 2008.
In December 2012 the Company issued 585,586 shares of common stock to pay
accrued interest of $30,333 for the three month period ended December 1, 2012.
Interest expense recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was
$37,946 compared to $37,513 in the three month period ended December 31, 2011.
According to the provisions of the Convertible Debenture agreement the Company
has elected to issue shares of the Company's Stock to pay accrued interest on
the debentures. In the three months ended December 31, 2012 the Company issued
585,586 shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock to pay $30,333 of
accrued interest payable. As the provision to pay stock for interest discounts
the market price of the stock the Company has attributed this discount to
interest expense and additional paid in capital. However the timing of the
shares being issued resulted in the share value being less than the interest
paid therefore a decrease in interest expense was recorded of $7,613 for the
period.
Change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion feature
This amount relates to the change in value of the derivative liabilities. The
change recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was an
increase of $267,000 and an increase of $53,000, respectively, increasing the
fair value of embedded conversion feature liability from $346,000 to $446,000.

According to the provisions of the Convertible Debenture agreement the Company
has elected to issue shares of the Company's Stock to pay accrued interest on
the debentures. In the six months ended December 31, 2012 the Company issued
561,729 shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock to pay $30,333 of
accrued interest payable. As the provision to pay stock for interest discounts
the market price of the stock the Company has attributed this discount to
interest expense and additional paid in capital. However, the timing of the
shares being issued, resulted in the share value being less than the interest
paid; therefore, a decrease in interest expense was recorded of $7,583 for the
period.
