QUANTUM MATERIALS CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

General

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quantum Materials Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Company”).

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the six months ended December 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, 2015. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated 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, 2015. Certain amounts in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the classifications of the current year consolidated financial statements.

 

Nature of Operations

 

The Company is a nanotechnology company specializing in the design, development, production and supply of quantum dots, including tetrapod quantum dots, a high performance variant of quantum dots, and highly uniform nanoparticles, using its patented automated continuous flow production process. Quantum dots and nanoparticles are expected to be increasingly utilized in a range of applications in the life sciences, television and display, solid state lighting, solar energy, battery, security ink, and sensor sectors of the market. Key uncertainties and risks to the Company include, but are not limited to, if and how quickly various industries adopt and fully embrace quantum dot technology and technological changes, including those developed by our competitors, rendering our technology uncompetitive or obsolete.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company recorded losses from continuing operations in the current period presented and has a history of losses. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to reverse negative operating trends, obtain revenues from operations, raise additional capital, and/or obtain debt financing.

 

In conjunction with anticipated revenue streams, management is currently negotiating equity financing, the proceeds from which would be used to settle outstanding debts, to finance operations, and for general corporate purposes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise capital, obtain debt financing, or improve operating results sufficiently to continue as a going concern.

 

The accompanying 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.

Restatement of Unaudited Quarterly Financial Data

 

The Company identified certain errors in the Company’s previously released financial information for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The Company follows ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement” as it relates to financial assets and financial liabilities, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP and expands

Table of Contents

 

disclosures about fair value measurements.  The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.

 

This guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.   Hierarchical levels, as defined in this guidance and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 — Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

The reported fair values for financial instruments that use Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine fair value are based on a variety of factors and assumptions. Accordingly, certain fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 or that will be realized in the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement.

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Convertible Debentures

 

The Company measured the estimated fair value of the convertible debentures using significant other observable inputs, representative of a Level 2 fair value measurement, including the interest and conversion rates for the instruments. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s convertible debentures as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015:

Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company has evaluated the application of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, 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 consolidated balance sheets at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities.”  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815.

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 incorporated 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.  Using assumptions, consistent with the original valuation, the Company has subsequently used the Black-Scholes model for calculating the fair value.

 

The Company is not a party to any hedge arrangements, commodity swap agreements or any other derivative financial instruments other than described above.

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 “Debenture Holders”) 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 a one year extension 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 $0.10 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 to $0.06 per share.

 

On June 30, 2014, $1,000,000 of the Debentures were converted into 16,666,667 common shares. The remaining $500,000 was converted at $0.06 per share into 8,333,333 of common shares at the due date November 4, 2014. 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.

 

Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $0 and $9,027, respectively, and $0 and $21,805 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

As of December 31 and June 30, 2015, $0 of principal was outstanding.

 

February 2014 Convertible Debenture

 

On February 6, 2014, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, Debenture and Escrow Agreement to obtain $400,000 in gross proceeds from two non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Debenture Holders”). The Debentures have a term of two years maturing on January 31, 2016 and bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The Debentures are pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty. The Debenture Holders have the right of conversion at a conversion price of $0.04 per share at any date. The Debenture Holders received 5,000,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $0.06 per share through December 31, 2016. 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. Such rights were exercised as described under the January 2015 Convertible Debenture below.

 

In accounting for the above convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received in the amount of $95,603, recorded as debt discount.

 

In January 2015, the holders of the $400,000 convertible debenture converted into 10,000,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31 and June 30, 2015, $0 of principal was outstanding.

 

September 2014 Convertible Debenture

 

Between September 16, 2014 and October 28, 2014, the Company entered into Convertible Debenture Agreements to obtain a total of $500,050 in gross proceeds from five non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Debenture Holders”). The Debentures have terms of five years maturing between September 16, 2019 and October 30, 2019. The Debentures bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and are pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty. The Debenture Holders have the right of conversion at a conversion price of $0.15 per share at any date, and will receive an equal number of warrants having a strike price of $0.30 per share and a term of five years.

 

In accounting for the above convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received in the amount of $203,074, recorded as debt discount. The debt discount is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan, five years. The Company recognized accretion of debt discount expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $0 and $191,126, respectively, and $0 and $203,074 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recognized a beneficial conversion expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $0 and $58,333, respectively, and $0 and $230,309 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $384 and $4,073, respectively, and $768 and $4,073 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

In October 2014, $350,000 of the Debentures were converted into 2,333,333 shares of common stock and an equal number of warrants and in December 2014, $125,000 of the Debentures were converted into 833,334 shares of common stock and an equal number of warrants.

The Debenture has a term of five years maturing on November 25, 2019 and bears interest at the rate of 6% per annum and is pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty. The debenture holder funded five times between December 2014 and April 2015 for total proceeds to the Company of $350,000.

January 2015 Convertible Debenture

 

On January 15, 2015, the Company entered into Convertible Debenture Agreements to obtain $500,000 in gross proceeds from two non-affiliated parties (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Debenture Holders”). The Debentures have a term of two years maturing on January 15, 2017 and bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum. The debentures are pre-payable by the Company at any time without penalty. The Debenture Holders have the right of conversion at a conversion price of $0.06 per share at any date. The Debenture Holders received 6,250,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $0.06 per share through January 15, 2017. The debt is secured by a security interest in certain microreactor equipment. The Agreement also provides for the investors to have the right to appoint one member to the Company’s Board of Directors in the event that any one of the aforementioned debentures are converted into common stock of the Company.

 

In accounting for the convertible debentures, the Company allocated the fair value of the warrants to the proceeds received in the amount of $348,105, recorded as debt discount and is amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the loan, two years. The Company recognized accretion of debt discount expense for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $43,037 and $0, respectively, and $85,224 and $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

NOTE 6 — DEFERRED REVENUE

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded $225,000 of deferred revenue. This represents full payment pursuant to the previously announced funded product development agreement with Nitto Denko Corporation (the “Agreement”). The Agreement does not require specific deliverables by the Company, however it does place certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to communicate with a limited number of specifically named businesses during the four month term of the agreement. Management does not believe that the restrictions have a material negative affect on the Company’s business prospects. All $225,000 of deferred revenue will be earned and recognized in the quarter ended March, 31, 2016.

In October 2009 the Board of Directors authorized the approval of a stock option plan covering 7,500,000 shares of common stock, which was increased to 10,000,000 shares in December 2009 and approved by stockholders in January 2010. The Plan provides for the direct issuance of common stock and the grant of incentive and non-incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2015, 9,200,000 options have been granted, with terms ranging from five to ten years, and 250,000 have been cancelled.

 

In January 2013 the Board of Directors authorized the approval of a stock option plan covering 20,000,000 shares of common stock, which was increased to 60,000,000 shares in March 2013 and approved by stockholders in March 2013. The Plan provides for the direct issuance of common stock and the grant of incentive and non-incentive stock options. As of December 31, 2015, 62,703,473 options have been granted, with terms ranging from five to ten years, 3,325,000 have been exercised and 12,703,225 have been cancelled.

 

In March 2012 3,500,000 stock options, with a term of five years, were granted outside of the 2009 and 2013 stock option plans. In May, September and October 2015, 2,000,000, 1,000,000 and 500,000 stock options, respectively, with terms of ten years, were granted outside of the 2009 and 2013 stock option plans.

 

Incentive Stock Options: The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The volatility is based on expected volatility over the expected life of sixty months. Compensation cost is recognized based on awards that are ultimately expected to vest, therefore, the Company has reduced the cost for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. As the Company has not historically declared dividends, the dividend yield used in the calculation is zero. Actual value realized, if any, is dependent on the future performance of the Company’s common stock and overall stock market conditions. There is no assurance the value realized by an optionee will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes-Merton model.

 

The Company did not grant any stock options during the six months ended December 31, 2014. The following assumptions were used for the six months ended December 31, 2015:

The computation of expected volatility during the six months ended December 31, 2015 was based on the historical volatility. Historical volatility was calculated from historical data for the time approximately equal to the expected term of the option award starting from the grant date. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the period corresponding with the expected life of the option.

Agreement with Texas State University

 

The Company entered into a Service Agreement with Texas State University (“TSU”) by which the Company occupies certain office and lab space at TSU’s STAR Park (Science Technology and Advanced Research) Facility. The agreement is month-to-month and can be terminated with 30-days written notice of either party.

 

NOTE 11 — INCOME TAX

 

The Company follows ASC 740 “Income Taxes” regarding the accounting for deferred tax assets and liabilities. Under the asset and liability method required by this guidance, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A deferred tax asset will be reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on the Company’s estimates, it is more likely than not that a portion of those assets will not be realized in a future period.

 

The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from the existing deferred tax liabilities or future taxable income. To the extent the Company believes that recovery will not meet the more likely than not threshold, it establishes a valuation allowance. The Company has recorded valuation allowances in the U.S. for its net deferred tax assets since management believes it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized because future taxable income necessary to utilize these losses cannot be established or projected.

Table of Contents

 

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was 0%. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses and valuation allowances. As a result of stock compensation expense incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company has increased deferred tax assets by $626,000 with a corresponding increase to the valuation allowance of $626,000 as of December 31, 2015.

Business Overview

 

Quantum Materials Corp. (OTCQB:QTMM) (“QMC”) is a nanotechnology company specializing in the design, development, production and supply of nanomaterials, including quantum dots (“QDs”), tetrapod quantum dots (“TQDs”), and other nanoparticles for a range of applications in televisions, displays and other optoelectronics, photovoltaics, solid state lighting, life sciences, security ink, battery, and sensor sectors of the market. Solterra Renewable Technologies, Inc. is a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of QMC that is focused on the photovoltaic (solar cell) market (“Solterra”).

 

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

Table of Contents

 

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

 

A key challenge for the quantum dot industry has been and may continue to be its ability to scale up production volumes sufficiently to meet growing demand for QDs while maintaining product quality and consistency and reducing the overall costs of supply to stimulate new applications. QDs remain an extremely expensive commodity. A number of recent market research reports have forecasted rapid growth in the QD market including “Quantum Dot Market by Product (Display, Medical Devices, Batteries, Solar Cells, Sensors, and Others), Material, Application (Healthcare, Consumer, Defense, and Industry), and Geography - Forecast up to 2020” published by MarketsandMarkets in January 2015 which states “The quantum dot market is estimated to reach $4,704.86 million by 2020, at a CAGR of 63.61% from 2014 to 2020.” Also published in January 2015, Touch Display Research forecasts that “the quantum dot display and lighting component market will surpass $2 billion by 2016 and reach $10.6 billion by 2025.”

 

The Company recently acquired several patents and patent applications in five diverse sets of patent families from Bayer Technology Services GmbH, the global technological backbone and major innovation driver for Bayer AG of Leverkusen, Germany (the “Bayer Patents”). The Bayer Patents acquired provide broad intellectual property protection for advances the Company has achieved in economical high-volume QD manufacturing. In addition, the Bayer Patents cover volume production technology for heavy metal-free QDs and nanoparticles; increasing quantum yields; heavy metal-free QDs; and hybrid organic quantum dot solar cell (“QDSC”) production as well as a surface modification process for increased efficiency of high performance solar cells and printed electronics.

 

In addition to the Bayer Patents, the Company has a worldwide exclusive license from William Marsh Rice University (“Rice”) to a patented chemical process that permits it to produce high performance TQDs using a lower cost and environmentally friendly solvent for greater manufacturing flexibility. The Company has developed proprietary equipment that allows it to mass produce consistent quantities of QDs and TQDs in a continuous process at lower capital costs than other existing processes. It also has the exclusive license to a patented screen printing technique for manufacture of OLEDs. The Company believes that these intellectual properties and proprietary technologies position the Company to become a leader in the overall nanomaterials and quantum dot industry, and a preferred supplier of high performance QDs and TQDs to an expanding range of applications.

 

Plan of Operation

 

The Company currently operates from a leased facility, the Wet Lab, in San Marcos, Texas at the Star Park Technology Center, an extension of Texas State University. This location provides the Company with convenient access to university faculty and specialized laboratory facilities that can support joint research and development efforts with Texas State University.  Located 30 miles south of Austin, Texas, this location is also in close proximity to a number of leading companies in the electronics, lighting, solar, and life sciences markets.

 

The Company has established commercial-scale continuous manufacturing equipment at the Wet Lab and now has the capacity to produce more than two metric tons (2,000kg) per year of nanomaterials for supply to its customers. Management believes that the production capacity of the Wet Lab is similar to, or greater than its largest competitors’ operating factories which are much larger and require significantly larger capital expenditures. This efficiency is the direct result of the Company’s patented continuous flow process and proprietary manufacturing equipment.  While the Company plans to work extensively with its current provider of equipment, 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 necessary.

 

Revenues in the Company’s fiscal 2016 are expected to be modest initially and will be dependent upon the Company generating purchase orders from potential customers currently under non-disclosure agreements (“NDAs’) and evaluating the Company’s technology. As part of this strategy, the Company has engaged in discussions with

 

19



Table of Contents

 

numerous target customers and has signed a number of NDAs and sample supply agreements (“Sample Agreements”) to increase the probability of receiving firm orders from one or more of these entities.

 

The Company’s marketing strategy is to engage in joint ventures or other strategic arrangements with manufacturers, distributors, and others to jointly develop applications using its patented continuous production process. Such joint collaborations will involve the Company working closely with its industry counterparts 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. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has entered into a joint development agreement with a major display panel manufacturer and a funded product development agreement with a leading global optical film manufacturer, Nitto Denko Corporation; however, the Company has not entered into any formal commercial supply agreements, joint ventures, or licensing agreements.

 

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 QDs and other nanomaterials, (ii) royalties from sales of products and components by third parties incorporating the Company’s products, (iii) milestone payments under joint development arrangements with product developers and manufacturers, and (iv) sublicensing fees where the Company engages in sublicensing arrangements for its 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 and the Company’s collaboration with Texas State University, Rice University, University of Arizona, and the numerous other research centers and departments with which the Company has relationships will be important aspects of the Company’s strategy.

 

Solterra plans to utilize QMC’s patented low-cost, high-volume quantum dot production combined with TQD technology licensed from Rice to commercialize quantum dot solar cells at a fraction of the cost of current silicon based solar cells.

 

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 QDs. Management believes that the patented (owned and licensed) processes and proprietary manufacturing equipment employed 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. However, new regulations or requirements may develop that could adversely affect the Company or its products in the future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2015 we had a working capital deficit of $458,165, with total current assets and liabilities of $549,713 and $1,007,878, respectively. Included in the liabilities is $240,832 that is owed to our officers, directors and employees for services rendered and accrued through December 31, 2015. Also included in the liabilities is $225,000 of deferred revenue associated with a funded product development agreement with a leading global optical film manufacturer, Nitto Denko Corporation. As a result, we have 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 December 31, 2015, we have cash and cash equivalent assets of $309,209 and continue to incur losses in operations. Over the past five years we have relied on sales of common stock to support operations and on various universities performing work and providing U.S. licensing rights under business agreements in which we have 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 securities of the Company. Management believes it will be necessary for the Company to rely on external financing to supplement working capital in order to meet the

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $816,812 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1,210,726 for the same period of 2014, a decrease of $393,914. The decrease was primarily driven by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses and deferred revenue.

 

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $21,682 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $125,419 for the same period of 2014, a net increase in cash of $147,101. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, we purchased certain patents from Bayer AG for $137,743. There were no such purchases during the six months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $430,500 for the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $1,313,656 for the same period of 2014, a decrease of $883,156. The decrease is due fewer sales of common stock and no proceeds from convertible debentures.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations for the next fiscal year. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to reflect the carrying value and classification of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern.  At December 31, 2015, we have not yet achieved profitable operations, have a working capital deficit of $458,165 and expect to incur further losses in the development of the business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. We continue 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 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.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2014

 

General and administrative expenses

 

During the three months ended December 31, 2015 the Company incurred $2,410,431 of general and administrative expenses, an increase of $1,098,013 from the $1,312,418 recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $1,601,582, offset by decreases in compensation of $154,708, legal and audit fees of $238,883, and

 

21



Table of Contents

 

other professional fees of $111,169. The increase in stock-based compensation is primarily due to i) the immediate vesting of 10,000,000 stock options held by the CFO due to a revised employment agreement executed during the three months ended December 31, 2015 and ii) the fair value of stock warrants granted upon conversion of salaries during the three months ended December 31, 2015.

During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company incurred $3,308,325 of general and administrative expenses, an increase of $1,564,775 from the $1,743,550 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2014.  The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation of $1,832,987, offset by decreases in compensation of $121,433 and legal and audit fees of $129,915. The increase in stock-based compensation is primarily due to i) the immediate vesting of 10,000,000 stock options held by the CFO due to a revised employment agreement executed during the six months ended December 31, 2015 and ii) the fair value of stock warrants granted upon conversion of salaries during the three months ended December 31, 2015.

 

Included in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was compensation of $482,792, legal and audit of $269,771, other professional fees of $329,121, travel expense of $48,888, corporate expense of $186,259 and stock based compensation of $1,930,220. Included in general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was compensation of $604,225, legal and audit of $399,686, other professional fees of $345,639, travel expense of $90,384, corporate expense of $176,006 and stock based compensation of $97,233.

 

Research and development expenses

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company incurred $146,055 of research and development expenses, an increase of $98,393 from the $47,662 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The primary reason for the increase are costs associated with a sponsored research agreement the Company has in place with Texas State University.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities

 

This amount relates to the change in value of the derivative liabilities.  The change recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2014 was a decrease of $1,871,337, decreasing the fair value of embedded conversion feature liability from $1,871,337 at June 30, 2014 to $0 at December 31, 2014. There was no change recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2015 due to the conversion of the debenture during the year ended June 30, 2015, resulting in the derivative liability being written down to $0.

 

Gain on settlement

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s former CFO surrendered 638,300 shares of common stock and options to purchase an additional 987,500 shares in exchange for the cancellation of indebtedness to the Company aggregating $79,000. As a result of this surrender, the Company recorded a gain on settlement of $174,568.

 

The gain on settlement of $546,129 recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2014 relates to the settlement reached with a former employee in December 2014.

 

Beneficial conversion feature on convertible debenture

 

The beneficial conversion expense for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $0 compared to $230,309 during the six months ended December 31, 2014. During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company did not enter into any convertible debenture agreements, whereas in the six months ended December 31, 2014, the company entered into convertible debenture agreements that contained beneficial conversion features. See Note 5.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $21,571 compared to $25,838 in the six months ended December 31, 2014.

 

Interest expense recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2015 relates to the 8% interest associated with the $500,000 convertible debentures issued in January 2015 and the 6% interest associated with the $25,050 convertible debenture issued in September 2014.

 

According to the provisions of the Convertible Debenture agreements, the Company may elect to issue shares of the Company’s common stock to pay accrued interest on the debentures.  In the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued zero and 92,637 shares of common stock, respectively, to pay $0 and $21,806 of accrued interest payable, respectively.

 

Accretion of debt discount

 

During the six months ended December 31, 2015 the Company recorded $85,224 of accretion of debt discount expense, a decrease of $133,186 from the $218,410 recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is related to the write-off of the debt discount upon conversion of the September 2014 convertible debentures during the six months ended December 31, 2014.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not applicable.

 

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 December 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

 

During the six month ended December 31, 2015, management has taken steps to remedy the significant deficiency disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015 which includes risk assessment, internal control, and

documenting financial processes. Management will continue a systematic process to document the existing financial processes, risk assessment and internal controls. In addition, resources permitting, we also plan to recruit additional experienced professionals to further augment and upgrade our accounting and finance staff and have identified several candidates.
