QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

General

 

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Quantum Materials Corp. (the “Company”).

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of and for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2014. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial information includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial information. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of any subsequent periods. Certain information in the footnote disclosures normally included in annual Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented under the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. As such, these interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014. Certain amounts in the current year Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the classifications in the prior year Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented and has a history of losses, resulting in an accumulated deficit and negative net worth. 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.

 

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 Debenture 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 “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities.”  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 and are disclosed on the balance sheet under Derivative Liabilities.

 

7
 

 

 

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, 2012, 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, the Company valued the convertible debenture 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, 2014 and 2013.   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.

November 2008 Convertible Debenture

 

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 originally had a term of three years maturing on November 4, 2011 bearing interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty, subject to the Debenture holders’ conversion rights.  In 2011, the Company obtained annual one year extensions of the maturity date of the Debentures through November 4, 2014. In partial consideration of such a loan extension, the Company agreed to issue to the Debenture holders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable at $.10 per share. These Warrants contain cashless exercise provisions in the event that there is no current registration statement filed. The maturity date was extended to November 4, 2014 in June 2013 and the conversion price per share was lowered as described below.

 

In recognition of the 3,525,000 shares issued at origination, the Company recorded a discount of $1,155,826.  The discount is made up of two components: $577,913 related to the discount for the relative fair value of the shares issued; and $577,913 related to a beneficial conversion feature. The discount was amortized over the 3 year life of the debenture, using the interest rate method and recorded as interest expense. Each Debenture is convertible at the option of each Lender into the Company Common Stock (the “Debenture Shares”, which together with the Restricted Shares shall collectively be referred to as the “Securities”) at a conversion price of $.2667 per share (the “Conversion Price”).   In October 2010, the conversion price was decreased to $0.12 per share and in June 2013, the conversion price was lowered to $.06 per share.

 

On June 30, 2014, $1 million of the Debentures were converted into 16,666,667 common shares. The remaining $500,000 of Debentures were converted into 8,333,333 of common shares at the due date November 4, 2014, converted at $.06 per share.  The Company recorded the conversion at the fair market value of the shares at the date of conversion, off-set by the reduction of the derivative liability.

The Transaction Documents include a Stock Pledge Agreement pursuant to which Stephen Squires, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, had pledged 20,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to the Debenture holders (the “Holders”). The 20,000,000 shares which were the subject of a Pledge Agreement were released to Mr. Squires following the debt conversion described above.  

 

The Company had also issued shares, on a quarterly basis, for interest that has accrued on the outstanding debt.

 

In accounting for the above convertible debentures, the Company has recognized a derivative liability associated with the conversion feature, in the amount of $0 and $1,871,337, as of March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.

  

February 2014 Convertible Debenture

 

On February 6, 2014, 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 $400,000 in gross proceeds from two non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Lenders”) in exchange for 5,000,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $.06 per share through December 31, 2016.  The Debenture has a term of two years maturing on January 31, 2016. The Debenture bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty, subject to the Debenture holders’ right of conversion at a conversion price of $.04 per share.  The debt is secured by a security interest in certain microreactor equipment.  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the investor has certain preferential rights to fund a second microreactor at a cost of up to $650,000. In the event of a second investment, the investor would receive warrants to purchase up to 8,125,000 shares, exercisable at $.06 per share with the second Debenture convertible at a conversion price of $.06 per share. The Agreement also provides for the investor to have the right to appoint one member to the Company’s Board of Directors in the event that any one of the aforementioned Debentures are converted into Common Stock of the Company.

 

In accounting for the above convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received and has recognized a beneficial conversion expense of $115,603, warrant expense of $95,603 recorded as debt financing costs, and interest expense of $21,805 and $0 and for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The debt discount and deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan terms, twenty-four months.

 

In January 2015, the holders of the $400,000 convertible debenture converted the debt into 10,000,000 common shares.

 

September 2014 Convertible Debenture

 

On September 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Convertible Debenture Agreement to obtain a total of $375,050 in gross proceeds from five non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Lenders”).  An additional $125,000 was received in October through December 2014, for total loan proceeds of $500,050. The Debenture has a term of five years maturing on September 18, 2019. The Debenture bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty. The Debenture holders’ have the right of conversion at a conversion price of $.15 per share at any date, and will receive an equal number of warrants, 3,333,667, having a strike price of $.30 per share.

 

In accounting for the above convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received and has recognized a beneficial conversion expense of $171,976, warrant expense of $203,074 recorded as debt financing costs, and interest expense of $4,073 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The debt discount and deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan terms, sixty months. The remaining balance was written off due to the conversion.

 

In October 2014, $350,000 of the Debentures were converted into 2,333,333 shares of Common Stock and a like number of warrants exercisable at $.30 per share over a term of five years. In December 2014, an additional $125,000 of the Debentures were converted into 833,334 shares and a like number of warrants exercisable at $.30 per share over a term of five years.

Business Overview

 

Quantum Materials Corp. (“Quantum”) 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 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. QMC owns 100% of Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”), an operating subsidiary that is focused on the thin film 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 (wavelength) emitted varies depending on the size of the quantum dot so products can be tuned for specific applications. 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 those in the biomedical, display, and solid state 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 QDs and TQDs using a lower cost and environmentally friendly solvent for greater manufacturing flexibility. The Company has also developed a proprietary method that it believes will allow it to mass produce large quantities of QDs and TQDs in a continuous flow process at lower costs than other competing processes. This technology is protected by patents the Company acquired from Bayer AG. It also has the exclusive license to a patented screen printing technique for manufacture of quantum dot enhanced electronic displays and other electronic components. Management believes that these proprietary technologies position the Company to become a leader in the overall quantum dot industry and a preferred supplier of quantum dots and other nanoparticles to an expanding range of applications.

Plan of Operation

 

The Company has recently entered the commercialization stage of its business with the launch of the Wet Lab in July, 2013. 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. 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. Currently, the Wet Lab produces sample quantities of Nanomaterials, via the patented continuous flow process, for supply to potential customers, research facilities, and potential development joint ventures. The facility is also used to fine tune the characteristics of the materials for optimized performance in customer-specific applications, and for continued R&D activities. As of the date of this report, the company is in the process of building out two new labs in the Star Park Technology Center facility. Build out and move in is expected to be completed by the end of May 2015.

 

The Company has established its first continuous manufacturing process at the Wet Lab and can produce kilogram volumes of Nanomaterials. In April 2015, the company took delivery of production scale equipment unit capable of producing up to 2,000 kilograms (two metric tons) of quantum dots per year. This unit is intended to be used to fulfill large commercial orders. The unit will be commissioned and tested over the next several months following the filing of this Form 10-Q. While the Company plans to work extensively with its provider of equipment units, the Company owns the rights to the designs and intellectual property resulting from the development project, and can contract with other suppliers if necessary.

 

The Company is preparing to enter the next phase of its development – production and supply of commercial scale volumes of materials to potential customers and joint ventures in various industries. The Company expects to commence generating limited revenues from the production of materials at the Wet Lab before the end of fiscal year 2015. 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.

 

The Company’s ongoing research and development functions are considered key to maintaining and enhancing its competitive position in the growing nanomaterials and quantum dot market. Nanomaterials and quantum dot technology continue 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, University of Arizona, University of Nevada-Reno, Texas State University and the numerous research centers and departments with which the Company has relationships.

 

Quantum also owns 100% of Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (“Solterra”), an operating subsidiary that is focused on the thin film photovoltaic (solar cell) market. Solterra plans to utilize Quantum’s patented low-cost, high-volume quantum dot production combined with technology licensed from Rice University and the University of Arizona to commercialize quantum dot solar cells at a fraction of the cost of current silicon based solar cells.

 

The key assets of the Company are its patents, high volume process equipment, licenses and other 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. The Company is also working closely with numerous universities and public and private labs to develop and expand its intellectual property portfolio. As the business progresses, the Company expects to 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 paid as agreed, waived and/or 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 measured 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.

 

The business of the Company is subject to various types of government regulations, including restrictions on the chemical composition of nanomaterials used in life sciences and other sensitive applications, and regulation of hazardous materials used in or produced by the manufacture or use of quantum dots. Management believes that its patented technology, licensed patented chemistry and proprietary manufacturing process allow the Company to comply with current regulations by producing nanomaterials and by using environmentally friendly solvents, which are nevertheless contained and recycled in the production process.

Shipping Samples to Potential Clients

 

As a result of our automated production system, we have increased our rate of shipping samples to potential customers, and have delivered more than 40 shipments. To our knowledge these represents the first shipments of automated flow production, not manual “batch” production. We believe our volume production process assures our clients that we can deliver high volumes of quantum dots for industrial use and the ability to quickly expand capacity when needed. Industries or uses intended include televisions and displays, solid state lighting, biotech, anti-counterfeiting, batteries and capacitors, sensors, solar panels, paint and coatings, inks, hydrogen conversion, glass, and lasers.

 

For the most part, our shipments of samples are to client’s specifications. For others, these samples are shipments for evaluation for secondary purposes as we collaborate toward the development of their specific quantum dot enabled product. We have an attractive pipeline of potential clients and partners that continues to expand to provide the Company with opportunities for growth. These potential clients require a broad range of nanomaterials from relatively simple red emitting quantum dots to thick-shell quantum dots and cadmium free red and green quantum dots to other nanoparticles.

 

In advancing these development activities, the Company follows a disciplined process to protect its intellectual property and foster collaborative arrangements. First, NDAs are entered into, followed by sample agreements. The Company then formulates, manufactures, and supplies product samples to the counterparty’s specifications for evaluation and testing. If successful, this then leads to discussions on the form of a possible commercial relationship. Each step takes time, and the Company has increased its sample production capacity to satisfy the backlog of requests for its materials of different compositions. Sample production is currently accommodated through use of the automated production equipment at the Company’s Wet Lab.

 

In seeking to expand its customer base, the Company’s marketing strategy will be to engage in joint ventures or other strategic arrangements with manufacturers and others to jointly develop applications using its patented continuous production process and licensed screen printing technology to maximum effect. Such joint collaborations will involve the Company working closely with the industry counterpart to optimize the performance of the Company’s materials in each application or device and to use the results from product development and testing to further enhance product specifications to meet the requirements of the market.

 

These collaborations will support the Company’s internal research and development activities, which will continue to be a primary part of the Company’s business. The principal revenue streams for the Company are expected to be from (i) sales of Nanomaterials, (ii) royalties from sales of products and components by third parties incorporating the Company’s Nanomaterials, (iii) milestone payments under joint development arrangements with product developers and manufacturers, and (iv) sub-licensing fees where the Company engages in sub-licensing arrangements for its technology.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company has not entered into any formal commercial supply agreements, joint ventures, or licensing agreements, but has executed the following array of agreements and taken the following steps toward commercialization of its Nanomaterials in various market sectors:

  

              Universities,  
      Product       Researchers,  
      Manufacturers       Other  
NDAs     40       12  
Sample Agreements     11       3  
Initial Samples Delivered     14       3  
Total Samples Delivered     40       3  
Commercial Discussions Underway     29       5  

 

However, there can be no assurance that the above activities will result in sales of the Company’s products or that such sales will result in profits to the Company.

The Company’s existing business development team is led by its director of marketing, who handles the North American, U.K. and European Union markets, supported by two staff employees responsible for Asia and the Middle East, respectively. The Company’s marketing and sales capabilities, considered to be critical to the success of the business, will also be expanded with the recruitment of one additional full time person during the next twelve months.

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 nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was a decrease of $563,547 and a decrease of $164,665, respectively, decreasing the fair value of embedded conversion feature liability from $1,871,337 as of June 30, 2014 to $0 as of March 31, 2015.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2015 the Company had a working capital deficit of $744,873 with total current liabilities of $764,312. Approximately $506,563 of these liabilities is owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through March 31, 2015.   As a result, the Company has relied on financing through the issuance of common stock and convertible debentures as well as advances from a director and shareholder and employees’ wages being partially or fully accrued but not paid.

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company lacks cash or cash equivalent assets and continues to incur losses in its 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. In April 2015, the Company completed equity financing of $1,005,000 as discussed in Note 9. It may become necessary to seek additional financing in the future. 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.

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,575,970 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $394,916 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $1,181,054. The increase was primarily driven by the decrease in stock and stock options issued for services, a greater gain in the change in fair value of warrants and embedded conversion feature and a decrease in the related party’s accrued liabilities.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $190,285 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $185,511 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $4,774.

 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,599,883 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $609,500 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $990,383. The increase is due to greater proceeds from the issuance of common stock and convertible debentures.

 

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 reflect the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.  At March 31, 2015, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has a working capital deficit of $744,873 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 continues to explore available financing options, 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 future financing, if needed, 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.

 

Debt Conversions

 

On November 4, 2014, holders of $500,000 principal associated with the convertible debenture issued in November 2008, converted the principal into 8,333,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the conversion price of $.06 per share.

On January 21, 2015, holders of $100,000 principal associated with the convertible debenture issued in November 2014, converted the principal into 666,667 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the conversion price of $.15 per share.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

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.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

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 March 31, 2015. 

 

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, 2014, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of June 30, 2014.

 

Management did 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.  As of the date of this 10-Q, we did not have sufficient in-house expertise in US GAAP reporting. This deficiency of not having sufficient qualified staff previously 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 have recruited 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 the new staff 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.
