SECTION 1– REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On January 30, 2013, Quantum Solar Power Corp. (the “Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, 0935493 B.C. Ltd. (“NumberCo”) and Canadian Integrated Optics, BC Ltd. (“CIO”), (collectively the “Debtors”) entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Simon Fraser University (“SFU”) to settle obligations totaling $455,901 (the “SFU Indebtedness”) under the terms of the Amended Research Agreement between the Debtors and SFU. The SFU Indebtedness was incurred by CIO in the course of conducting research activities at SFU on behalf of the Company. The Company and NumberCo had guaranteed (the “Guarantee”) the majority of the SFU Indebtedness in May of 2012 and the Company was obligated to pay the balance of the SFU Indebtedness which was incurred from research activities conducted on the Company’s behalf between May and November of 2012. The guarantee of the Company and NumberCo was secured by a security agreement granting SFU security over three Kurt J. Lesker PVD 75 deposition tools (the “Collateral”). Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement by Bills of Sale dated for reference January 22, 2013, NumberCo transferred the Collateral and certain supporting equipment to SFU. In addition, the Debtors agreed to release any possible claims they may have had against SFU for losses possibly incurred from the mislabeling of gasses at SFU’s 4D Lab Facility. In addition to providing the Debtors with a release of the obligations under the Amended Research Agreement, Guarantee and Security Agreement, SFU agreed to release claims to the intellectual property developed under the Amended Research Agreement.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

SECTION 7 – REGULATION FD

ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.

As a by-product of research on the Company’s photovoltaic technology, a discovery was made of a way of nano-structuring glass to make it super hydrophobic (water beads and rolls off) and resistant to oil and other materials. Given that the solar panel prices are currently very low as a result of Chinese manufacturers flooding the market with low cost silicon products, the Company has determined to focus its research activities on this glass technology. The technology has potential application to many different kinds of glass products particularly advanced glass products such as glass for touchscreens, car glass and mirrors. Although the Company has developed the technology no patents have been obtained to date. Because of the difficulty obtaining financing in the Company due to its current stock market prices and debt burdens the Company will seek to obtain financing to develop the technology through NanoSMC Structured Materials Corp., a subsidiary focused on glass research and development.
