Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial statements. Accordingly, our interim statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required for our annual financial statements. In the opinion of our management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of these interim results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013. The results for the three months and six months ended December 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending June 30, 2014.
 
Since November 4, 2008, the Company has changed its business plans and is no longer intending to pursue the mining of mineral rights located in Nevada. The Company intends to pursue the business plans of its subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”).  The following is a brief business overview of Solterra.
 
Solterra is a start-up solar technology and quantum dot manufacturing firm which was founded by Stephen Squires. Mr. Squires perceives 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 to 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, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Going Concern
 
The Company recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented. Current liabilities exceed current assets, resulting in a negative net worth and accumulated deficits during the development stage. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to reverse negative operating trends, raise additional capital, and obtain debt financing.
 
Management has revised its business strategy to include expansion into other lines of business. In conjunction with the anticipated new revenue streams, management is currently negotiating new debt and equity financing, the proceeds from which would be used to settle outstanding debts at more favorable terms, to finance operations, and to develop its business plans. 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 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.
 
Note 2. Derivatives and Fair Value
 
The Company has evaluated the application of ASC 815 to the Convertible Note issued November 4, 2008.  Based on the guidance in ASC 815, the Company concluded these instruments were required to be accounted for as derivatives as of July 1, 2009 due to the down round protection feature on the conversion price and the exercise price.  The Company records the fair value of these derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the statements of operations as “Gain (loss) on derivative liabilities.”  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 and are disclosed on the balance sheet under Derivative Liabilities.
 
 
 
ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 825-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:  Level 1  – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;  Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities associated with the November 4, 2008 note.  At June 30, 2013, all of the Company’s derivative liabilities were categorized as Level 3 fair value assets. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
 
Level 3 Valuation Techniques
 
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.  Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.  At the date of the original transaction, we valued the convertible note that contains down round provisions using a lattice model, with the assistance of a valuation consultant, for which management understands the methodologies. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and holder behavior as of July 1, 2009.  Using assumptions, consistent with the original valuation, the Company has subsequently used the Black-Scholes model for calculating the fair value, as of June 30, 2013 and 2012.   The fair value of the derivatives as of July 1, 2009 upon implementation of ASC 815-40-15 was estimated by management to be $495,912.  As part of implementing ASC 815-40-14 the Company decreased the accumulated deficit by $162,643 and decreased additional paid in capital by $212,184 and increased the discount on the convertible debenture by $446,371.  The adjustment to the accumulated deficit was a result of the interest expense recorded in connection with the original derivative liability and the reversal of prior amortization expense, and the change in fair value of the derivative liability as of July 1, 2009.

License Agreement - Work-Study Arrangements
 
License Agreement with Rice University

On August 20, 2008, Solterra entered into a License Agreement with Rice University.  In August 2013, Solterra entered into an amended License Agreement and Quantum Materials entered into a new License Agreement with Rice. Rice is the owner of certain inventions and patent applications, know-how and rights pertaining to the synthesis of uniform nanoparticle shapes with high selectivity.  We have obtained the exclusive rights to license and sublicense (subject to Rice’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld), develop, manufacture, market and exploit Rice’s inventions, patent applications and any issued patents in the case of Solterra, for the manufacture and sale of photovoltaic cells and photovoltaic applications and in the case of Quantum Materials for the manufacture and sale of quantum dots for electronic and medical applications (excluding photovoltaic applications). With respect to Rice’s patent applications, Rice made a provisional filing for an invention disclosure titled “synthesis of uniform nanoparticle shapes with high selectivity” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on April 13, 2007 and a subsequent utility filing on April 11, 2008 under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”). PCT enables the U.S. applicant to file one application, "an international application," in a standardized format in English in the U.S. Receiving Office (the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office), and have that application acknowledged as a regular national or regional filing in any State or region that is party to the PCT. Dr. Michael Wong is a director of our company and is the inventor of Rice’s patent application licensed by Solterra.

Our initial agreement with Rice requires the payment of certain patent fees to Rice and for us to acquire additional funding and to meet certain milestones by specific dates.  Rice and the Company recently established new milestones for the Company to achieve in the months and years ahead, the failure of which could lead to the termination of the license agreement.
 
Rice is entitled to receive during the term of each License Agreement certain royalties under the License Agreement of adjusted gross sales (as defined) ranging from 2% to 4% for photovoltaic cells and 7.5% of adjusted gross sales for quantum dots sold in electronic and medical applications. Minimum royalties payable under the License Agreement include $29,450 due January 1, 2015, $217,000 due January 1, 2016, $648,750 due January 1, 2017, $2,038,500 due January 1, 2018 and $3,738,600 due January 1, 2019 and each January 1 of every year thereafter, subject to adjustments for changes in the consumer pricing index.  The term of the License Agreement is to expire on the expiration date of Rice’s rights in its intellectual property and the Licensee’s rights are worldwide. Our Agreement, as amended, with Rice provides for termination of each Agreement in the event that we are determined to be insolvent as defined in the Agreements.

Agreement with Arizona State University

Solterra had an agreement with Arizona State University (“ASU”) pursuant to which ASU at a cost of $835,000 will assist Solterra under the direction of Dr. Ghassan Jabbour in scaling up or optimizing the solar cells so that they can be printed. As of June 30, 2010, $630,000 of these costs in this agreement have been incurred and a further $205,000 were to accrue before the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.  During February 2010, Dr. Jabbour accepted a Directorship at the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), in Saudi Arabia, as a result of Dr. Jabbour now being located in Saudi Arabia it is no longer logistically feasible for him to conduct the development work at ASU. We have paid ASU $175,000 under our contract with ASU.  Dr. Jabbour is continuing his development work at the KAUST facilities and we have attempted to negotiate a substantially reduced fee payable to ASU.  Dr. Jabbour is also our Chief Science Officer and is an employee of QMC/Solterra. 

Agreement with University of Arizona

Solterra has entered into an exclusive Patent License Agreement with the University of Arizona ("UA") to license US Patent # 7,015,052, which was issued on March 21, 2006, entitled “Screen Printing Techniques for the Fabrication of Organic Light - Emitting Diodes”. Pursuant to the License Agreement, Solterra has an exclusive license to market, sell and distribute licensed products within its field of use which is defined as organic light emitting diodes in printed electronic displays and all other printed electronic components. Solterra has the right to grant sublicenses with respect to the licensed product and the license method (as defined in the agreement). Pursuant to said agreement, as amended, we are obligated to pay minimum annual royalties of $5,000 by June 30, 2012, $25,000 by December 31, 2013, $50,000 by December 31, 2014, $125,000 by June 30, 2015 and $200,000 on each June 30th thereafter, subject to adjustments for increases in the Consumer Price Index.  Royalties based on net sales are 2% of net sales of licensed products for non-display electronic component applications and 2.5% of net sales of licensed products for printed electronic displays. Our Agreement with UA may be terminated by UA in the event that we are in breach of any provision of this Agreement and said breach continues for 60 days after receiving written notice. Our Agreement with UA will also automatically terminate if Solterra becomes insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they become due. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to meet our obligations under our Agreement with UA. Termination of our Agreement with UA could materially adversely affect our operations.
  
 
 
Employment agreements
 
The Company has two employment agreements in effect.  The CEO and Vice President of Research and Development each has a five year agreement which started in January 2013.   In August 2013, Robert Glass resigned from the Board of Directors and terminated his employment agreement. The Company intends to request that Dr. Glass return his 5,000,000 share signing bonus and agree to cancel his 5,000,000 options signing bonus. The Company will consider legal redress if necessary to accomplish the foregoing. No assurances can be given that the Company’s efforts to have the aforementioned securities cancelled will be successful.

Note 7.  Warrants
 
No warrants were issued in the three month period ending December 31, 2013. For the six months ended December 31, 2013, the Company issued warrants to purchase 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock exercisable at prices ranging from $0.55 per share to $0.062 per share.
 
Note 8.  Subsequent events
 
On February 6, 2014, the Company closed on secured debt funding which will be used to acquire and deploy automated equipment (a microreactor) to significantly increase Tetrapod Quantum Dot production. The additional production capacity can fulfill demand for several joint development collaborations, expand sales for niche markets and new product evaluation, as well as provide Tetrapod Quantum Dot production for in house research and development needs. The Company granted warrants to the investors as well as certain rights to participate in future offerings and the right to appoint a director to the Board under certain conditions.
 
Effective on February 10, 2014, the Company accepted salary conversions from seven employees totaling approximately $546,275 into 17,071,081 options. The options have a term of five years, are immediately vested and are exercisable at $.06 per share. Of the seven employees, four executive officers agreed to convert all or a portion of their accrued salaries. The number of options granted was based upon the dollar amount converted plus a 25% bonus divided by a value of $.04 per option. These options were issued under the Company’s Stock Option Plan. Chris Benjamin converted $90,000 of salary into 2,812,500 options; Stephen Squires converted $95,000 of salary into 2,968,750 options; Ghassan Jabbour converted $120,000 of salary into 3,750,000 options; and David Doderer converted $25,000 of salary into 781,250 options.

Business Overview
 
QMC is a nanotechnology company specializing in the design, development, production and supply of tetrapod quantum dots (“TQDs”), a high performance variant of quantum dots, for a range of applications in the life sciences, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, lighting, security ink and sensor sectors of the market. QMC owns 100% of Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”), an operating subsidiary that is focused on the photovoltaic (solar cell) market. 
 
Quantum dots are tiny nanoparticles of a semiconductor material which emit light, or fluoresce, when excited with energy. The color of light emitted varies depending on the size of the quantum dot so that photonic emissions can be tuned by the creation of quantum dots of different sizes. Their unique properties as highly efficient, next generation semiconductors have led to the use of quantum dots in a range of electronic and other applications, including in the biomedical, display and lighting industries. Quantum dots 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 quantum dots in printed photovoltaic cells.
 
The Company has the exclusive license to a patented chemical process that permits it to produce high performance, heavy metal-free TQDs using a lower cost and environmentally friendly solvent for greater manufacturing flexibility.  The Company has developed a proprietary method that it believes will allow it to mass produce consistent quantities of TQDs in a continuous process at lower costs than other existing processes, and has filed a provisional patent application on same. It also has the exclusive license to a patented screen printing technique for manufacture of quantum dot enhanced electronic displays and other electronic components. The Company believes that these three proprietary technologies position the Company to become a leader in the overall quantum dot industry, and a preferred supplier of high performance tetrapod quantum dots to an expanding range of applications.

Critical Accounting Policies

Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates

Long-lived assets
We review our long-lived assets, which include intangible assets subject to amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets (collectively referred to as “the asset”) may not be recoverable.  Such circumstances include, but are not limited to:
 
·a significant decrease in the market price of the asset;
·a significant change in the extent or manner in which the asset is being used;
·a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset;
·a current period loss combined with projection of continuing loss associated with use of the asset; and
·a current expectation that, more likely than not, the asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life
 
 
 
Plan of Operation

The Company has to date been a research and development business operating out of temporary facilities. It has now entered the commercialization stage of its business with the launch of the Wet Lab in July, 2013, its first permanent facility. The Wet Lab is located in San Marcos, Texas, approximately 30 miles south of Austin, Texas. This facility is part of the Star Park Technology Center, an extension of Texas State University, the fifth largest university in Texas and one of eight Texas Emerging Research Universities. This arrangement provides the Company with the opportunity to expand its operations within this 30 acre technology park. The Company has a year to year lease agreement and the option to add additional lab and office space on an as-needed basis. This location provides the Company with convenient access to an experienced faculty and specialized laboratory facilities that can support joint research and development efforts with Texas State University, and is in proximity to a number of leading companies in the life sciences, lighting, solar and electronics markets.

The Wet Lab will be the center of operations of the Company and will be used by the Company to produce small sample quantities of TQDs (via batch method) and larger quantities of TQDs (via its proprietary process units, once this equipment is acquired) for supply to research facilities, customers and potential customers, and potential development joint ventures.  The facility will be used to support test production runs, to fine tune the characteristics of the quantum dots for optimized performance in the customer's specific application, and for continued R&D activities. The Wet Lab was established through funds raised in a private placement of common shares of the Company completed in early June 2013. The Company obtained $250,000 to finance the build out and costs of operation of the Wet Lab for the balance of 2013.

The primary short term objective of the Company is to establish its first continuous manufacturing process at the Wet Lab and produce volumes of TQDs for supply to customers on a commercial scale. The Company has completed a joint development effort with a non-affiliated third party provider of industrial process equipment which resulted in the design and successful proof of concept testing of a scalable production unit for manufacturing the Company’s proprietary TQDs on a low cost, continuous basis.  The Company has negotiated an agreement with the equipment provider for the delivery of a lab scale equipment unit capable of producing 2 grams per hour. This first unit will be used to validate synthesis protocols for customized TQDs developed to meet customer specification and will also be used to produce samples and to fulfill small to medium-size orders. The Company has also negotiated an agreement with the equipment provider for the delivery of a production scale equipment unit capable of producing 2 kilograms per hour. This unit is intended to be used to fulfill additional commercial orders. Subject to the Company obtaining financing for both of these equipment acquisitions, the sample size and production size equipment units are expected to be delivered to the Wet Lab during the first and third quarters of 2014, respectively. Each unit will be commissioned and tested upon delivery, with a view towards commencing initial production runs of TQDs within 30-60 days after installation. While the Company plans to work extensively with this  provider of equipment units , the Company owns all rights to the designs and intellectual property resulting from the development project, and could contract with one or more other competent suppliers of equipment if that became necessary.
 
The Company is preparing to enter the next phase of its development – production and supply of commercial scale volumes of TQDs to potential customers and joint ventures in order to develop a platform of initial customers in various industries. In order to finance the development of its business, including the establishment of its continuous process manufacturing facility, purchase of the first two equipment units and the expansion of its marketing and sales capabilities, the Company will be seeking additional investment capital. Provided this capital raise is successful and can be accomplished in the first quarter of 2014, the Company expects to commence generating limited revenues from the production of TQDs at the Wet Lab in the second quarter of 2014. Such revenues are expected to be modest at first and will be dependent upon the Company generating purchase orders from potential customers currently under NDAs and evaluating the Company’s technology. As part of this strategy, the Company has engaged in discussions with numerous target customers and has signed a number of NDAs and Sample Agreements to increase the probability of receiving firm orders from one or more of these entities.

The Company’s ongoing research and development functions are considered key to maintaining and enhancing its competitive position in the growing quantum dot market. Quantum dot technology continues to evolve, with new discoveries and refinements being made on an ongoing basis. The Company intends to be at the forefront of technological development, and will focus a significant part of its efforts on this, as it has done historically. Continuing R&D activities at the Wet Lab will be an important aspect of the Company’s strategy, as will the Company’s collaboration with Rice, University of Arizona, Texas State University and the numerous research centers and departments with which the Company has relationships.

The key assets of the Company are its licenses and intellectual property rights, its knowhow and the expertise, capabilities and relationships brought to the Company by its management team. The Company will continue to develop its intellectual property portfolio and licensing rights, and currently has two patents pending for continuous process production of quantum dots. The Company will also work closely with Rice and University of Arizona to develop and expand its intellectual property portfolio. As the business progresses, the Company will continually build out its portfolio of owned and licensed intellectual property, and take all appropriate steps to protect these rights.

The Licenses with Rice and University of Arizona include provisions for milestones and milestone payments. To date, these have been waived and extended by both Rice and University of Arizona, respectively, illustrating the support each university has given to the Company as it has attempted to advance its business with limited resources. As the Company moves forward, it expects to be able to meet all payment and other obligations under the Licenses, and the Company’s funding strategy takes account of these requirements.

 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2013 the Company had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,676,798 with total current liabilities of approximately $2,680,947.  Approximately $1,924,839 of these liabilities is owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through December 31, 2013.  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, 2013, the Company lacks cash or cash equivalent assets and continues to incur losses in its development stage operations.  Over the past five years, the Company relied on sales of its Common Stock to support its operations and on various universities performing work and providing U.S. licensing rights under business agreements in which the Company has at times been in arrears in payments 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 the securities of the Company.   Currently, the Company is seeking additional financing in excess of $3,000,000; 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 $372,782 for the six months ending December 31, 2013. This is a result of a net loss of $970,980 and changes in accounts payable of $57,500 and change in fair value of warrants of 334,374, partially offset by stock issued for services of $503,000, stock issued for debenture interest of $76,211, and changes in accrued liabilities for related parties of $410,861. There were no cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended December 31, 2013. Cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2013 were $204,500 which consisted of proceeds of the sale of common stock.   In 2010, our board approved granting Mr. Squires the two year right to convert loans made by him of up to $200,000 into a maximum 5% interest in the common stock of Solterra, which option has expired unexercised. As of December 31, 2013, Mr. Squires does not have any unreimbursed cash advances due to him, and has accrued payroll and expenses totaling $246,307 owed to him and accrued payroll of $85,500 owed to his wife in her role as a bookkeeper for the Company.

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.  
 
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, 2013, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $17,343,785 since its inception, at December 31, 2013, has a working capital deficit of $2,676,798 and 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 (estimated at $3,000,000) during fiscal 2014 to maintain and expand 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 2” 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.

Results of operations – Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

General and administrative expenses

During the three months ended December 31, 2013 the Company incurred $664,994 of general and administrative expenses an increase of $252,997 from the $411,997 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in corporate expenses, primarily stock based compensation, in the amount of $200,100.
 
Included in the expenses for the current three months ended December 31, 2013 were remuneration of staff $249,003, legal and audit of $19,.000, travel expense of $8,385, corporate expense of $15,319, and other professional fees of $89,648. This compares to the three months ended December 31, 2012 which included 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.

 Research and development expenses.

Research and development expenses of $934 were incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2013, compared to $2,000 in the three months ended December 31, 2012.  The decrease is the result of a decrease in patent expense of $2,000, offset by an increase in Q Dot manufacturing expense of $934.

 
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 2013 the Company issued 777,778 shares of common stock to pay accrued interest of $37,877 for the three month period ended December 1, 2013.

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, 2013 and 2012 was a decrease of $134,603 and an increase of $267,000, respectively, decreasing the fair value of embedded conversion feature liability from $587,229 as of September 30, 2013 to $452,626 as of December 31, 2013.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our short term money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that the information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective at December 31, 2013.  Management basis its determination upon the company’s inability for timely filing of our Form 10-K for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 and our Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011.
 
We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
In our Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2013.
 
Management did however identify a significant deficiency; a significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of the registrant’s financial reporting.  Currently we do not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting.  Instead, we rely very much on the expertise and knowledge of external financial advisors in US GAAP conversion.  External financial advisors have helped prepare and review the consolidated financial statements.  This deficiency of not having sufficient qualified staff has resulted in the Company being unable to file our 10-K for the years ending June 30, 2013, June 30, 2011 and 2010 and our Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 in a timely manner.  Although we have not identified any material errors with our financial reporting or any material weaknesses with our internal controls, no assurances can be given that there are no such material errors or weaknesses existing.  To remediate this situation, we are seeking to recruit experienced professionals to augment and upgrade our financial staff to address issues of timeliness and completeness in US GAAP financial reporting.  In addition, we do not believe we have sufficient documentation with our existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls.  We plan to work closely with external financial advisors to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls systematically.
 
We believe that the remediation measures we are taking, if effectively implemented and maintained, will remediate the significant deficiency discussed above.
 
Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter to which this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
