NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF
OPERATIONS
|
Quantum Solar Power Corp. (the
Company) was incorporated in Nevada on April 14, 2004. The Company is a
development stage company engaged in the business of developing and
commercializing next generation solar power technology under the name Next
Generation Device abbreviated NGD. Quantums NGD is a patent pending,
functioning, laboratory model that demonstrates its utility in solar power
conversion. On June 16, 2008 stockholders by way of Proxy Statement confirmed
and ratified the change of the Companys name from QV, Quantum Ventures, Inc. to
Quantum Solar Power Corp.
The Company operates in one reportable
segment being the research and development of solar power technology in Canada
and the United States of America. Revenues will be substantially derived from
royalty based licensing arrangements in this reporting segment.
Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements
have been prepared consistent with accounting policies generally accepted in the
United States (U.S. GAAP) assuming the Company will continue as a going
concern. Currently, the Company has no sales and has incurred a net loss of
$3,850,803 for the nine months ending March 31, 2011 and an accumulated loss of
$5,498,519 for the period from April 14, 2004 (inception) to March 31, 2011. The
future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon
future profitable operations from development and commercialization of an NGD.
Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and
public offerings of its common stock. These factors raise substantial doubt that
the Company will be able to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans for the continuation
of the Company as a going concern include financing the Company's operations
through issuance of its common stock. If the Company is unable to complete its
financing requirements or achieve revenue as projected, it will then modify its
expenditures and plan of operations to coincide with the actual financing
completed and actual operating revenues. There are no assurances, however, with
respect to the future success of these plans.
The accompanying financial statements
do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might
be necessary should the Company fail in any of the above objectives and is
unable to operate for the coming year.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial
statements have been prepared by the Company in conformity with U.S. GAAP
applicable to interim financial information. Accordingly, certain information

omitted. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial
statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto for the year ended June

Basis of Presentation
(contd
)
Certain comparative figures have been
reclassified to conform with the current periods presentation.
Recent accounting pronouncements
Recent accounting pronouncements that
the Company has adopted or will be required to adopt in the future are
summarized below.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU
2010-06 which is intended to improve disclosures about fair value measurements.
The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in and out of
fair value hierarchy levels, the reasons for the transfers and to present
information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the
reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3). Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should
provide fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and
disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value measurements
using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable
inputs (Level 3). The Company has applied the new disclosure requirements as of
January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances
and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be effective for
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of
this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the
Companys financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU
2010-13, Compensation Stock Compensation (Topic 718), amending ASC 718. ASU
2010-13 clarifies that a share-based payment award with an exercise price
denominated in the currency of a market in which the entitys equity securities
trade should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as
equity. ASU 2010-13 also improves GAAP by improving consistency in financial
reporting by eliminating diversity in practice. ASU 2010-13 is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (January
1, 2011 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU
2010-13, but does not expect its adoption to have a material impact on the
Companys financial reporting and disclosures.

Stock-based compensation
The Company used the Black-Scholes
option pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted. During
fiscal 2010, the Company granted 500,000 (2009 Nil; 2008 Nil) options with a
weighted average fair value of $1.91 (2009 $Nil; 2008 - $Nil) per option to a
director of the Company, which is being recognized over the vesting periods of
the options.
During the period ended December 31,
2010, 100,000 options with a weighted average fair value of $0.75 were granted
to two former board members, exercisable at any time after the date of the
agreement.
During the quarter ended March 31,
2011, 250,000 options, vesting in monthly instalments, were granted to a
consultant, and 900,000 options, vesting immediately, were granted to another
consultant. Total stock-based compensation for the 9 month period ended March
31, 2011 was $1,158,627 (2009 -$Nil). This amount represents the value of vested
options.
The fair value of stock options has
been estimated with the following assumptions:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report
constitute "forward-looking statements". These statements, identified by words
such as plan, "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and
similar expressions, include our expectations and objectives regarding our
future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These
statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events
and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our
actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be
materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under this caption
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We intend to discuss in our
Quarterly and Annual Reports any events and circumstances that occurred during
the period to which such document relates that are reasonably likely to cause
actual events or circumstances to differ materially from those disclosed in this
Quarterly Report. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we
file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the SEC).
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated on April 14, 2004 under the laws of the
State of Nevada. Our principal executive offices are located at 300-1055 West
Hastings Street, Vancouver BC Canada V6E 2E9.
We are currently in the business of developing and marketing
our NGD Technology for the production of solar energy without the need for
expensive silicon based absorber components or other rare earth elements. The
NGD Technology which is covered by three provisional U.S. patents differs from
conventional solar technology as it does not require expensive silicon based
absorber components or rare earth elements. Our researchers at Simon Fraser
University in British Columbia, Canada have developed and built a proof of
concept prototype of a next generation device utilizing the NGD Technology (see
Technology Acquisition and NGD
TM
Technology below).
We are a development stage company. We have not earned any
revenue to date nor have we engaged in any licensing agreements to date. We do
not anticipate earning revenue until we have completed the development and
testing of our NGD Technology. We are presently in the development stage of our
business and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to complete
commercial development or successfully sell or license products incorporating
our solar power generation devices, once development and testing is complete. We
have limited operations. We conduct all of our research and development on a
contractual basis with Simon Fraser University. We have relied on the sale of
our securities and loans or capital infusions from our officers and directors to
fund our operations to date.
RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
Since the filing of our Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter
ended December 31, 2010 with the SEC, we experienced the following significant
corporate developments:
(1)
|
On February 25, 2011, we entered into a waiver agreement
(the Waiver Agreement) with Teatyn Enterprises Inc. (Teatyn), whereby
Teatyn and the Company mutually agreed to terminate the investor relations
consulting agreement dated for reference January 15, 2011 (the Investor
Relations Consulting Agreement) and waive any and all claims arising
under the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement. In consideration of the
Waiver Agreement, we agreed to issue to Teatyn 50,000 warrants to purchase
our common stock at an exercise price of USD $1.90 per share until January
14, 2012. The warrants were issued pursuant to the provisions of
Regulation S of the Act as Teatyn represented that it was not a "U.S.
Person" as defined under Regulation S and not acquiring the shares for the
account or benefit of a U.S. Person.
|
|
|
(2)
|
On February 28, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted our
2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan"). The purpose of the 2011 Plan
is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by
offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and
eligible consultants (Participants) to acquire and maintain stock
ownership in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in
our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our
service.
|
3
|
The 2011 Plan allows us to grant options to its officers,
directors and employees. In addition, we may grant options to individuals
who act as consultants to us, so long as those consultants do not provide
services connected to the offer or sale of our securities in capital
raising transactions and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain
a market for the our securities.
|
|
|
|
A total of 14,650,000 shares of our common stock are
available for issuance under the Plan.
|
|
|
|
The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock
options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted
under the Plan are those intended to qualify as incentive stock options
as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in
order to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code, the Plan must be approved by our stockholders
within 12 months of its adoption. The Plan has not been approved by our
stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the Plan are
option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section
422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
|
|
|
(3)
|
On May 2, 2011, we entered into a task order agreement
(the Agreement), with SgurrEnergy, Ltd. (Sgurr). Under the terms of
the Agreement, Sgurr has agreed to provide us with business advisory
services, including but not limited to networking services to find
directors, officers and potential manufacturing entities to engage us. In
consideration of Sgurrs business advisory services, we will pay hourly
rates ranging from CDN $84.56 to CDN $214.50. We have agreed to provide a
down- payment of CDN $20,000 on execution of the Agreement and provide
advance deposits of CDN $20,000 each month for the first six months. We
have agreed to reimburse Sgurr for applicable expenses plus 7.5%. We may
cancel the Agreement and cease advance deposits at any time by providing
notice and paying for any work completed up to the date of the
cancellation notice.

On May 5, 2011 our Board of Directors ratified, confirmed
and approved the entry into an investor relations consulting agreement
(the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement) with John Thornton dated
for reference March 1, 2011. Mr. Thornton has agreed to provide us with
investor relations consulting services and in consideration of which, we
have agreed to pay Mr. Thornton CDN $3,500 plus HST per month. In

term of the Investor Relations Consulting Agreement is for a period of one
year. The right to exercise the Options will vest as to 20,833 at the
beginning of each calendar month with the exception that 20,837 will vest
on the beginning of the last month of the Investor Relations Consulting
Agreement.

TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITION
We acquired the NGD
TM
Technology on December 16,
2009 by an agreement (the Technology Acquisition Agreement) with Canadian
Integrated Optics (IOM) Limited, (CIO). In consideration of the NGD
Technology, we issued 71,500,000 shares of our common stock to CIO (of which CIO
transferred over 99% pursuant to the terms of a takeover bid, under Canadian
Securities Laws) and Desmond Ross, our former director and executive officer,
returned 47,000,000 shares to the treasury. Under the Technology Acquisition
Agreement, we also agreed to pay CIO, or such other parties designated by CIO,
for ongoing development and research costs under CIOs existing research
agreement (the CIO Research Agreement) with Simon Fraser University (SFU).
The initial term of the CIO Research Agreement was until July 30, 2010.
Subsequent to entering into the Technology Acquisition
Agreement, CIO entered into an amendment agreement to the CIO Research
Agreement, whereby SFU agreed to extend the term until December 31, 2010 and in
consideration of which we paid $310,076 CDN. On December 23, 2010, CIO entered
into another amendment agreement dated January 1, 2011, whereby SFU agreed to
further extend the term until July 31, 2011 and in consideration of which we
will pay $476,482 CDN plus expenses, during the term.
4
During the nine months ended March 31, 2011 we paid $1,885,314
USD under the CIO Research Agreement.
NGD TECHNOLOGY
Our NGD Technology is a patent pending, technology and proof
of concept prototype for producing solar power without the necessity of
utilizing expensive silicon based absorber components or other rare earth
elements.
Solar cells based on the NGD Technology can reach a regime of
cost and efficiency not obtainable with conventional solar cells. As a result,
we believe our NGD Technology has the potential to enable the manufacture of
solar cells at significantly less cost per Watt than current producers.
Thin Film solar cell technologies have proven inexpensive to
manufacture but are at present only capable of efficiencies in the 10% power
conversion efficient (PCE) range. Crystalline silicon solar cells are in the
15% to 20% PCE range but are very expensive to manufacture due to the cost of
silicon processing. The reason for both these shortfalls is directly linked with
the semiconductors used in the fabrication process.
All currently available solar cell technologies rely on a
photovoltaic effect in which an incoming solar photon knocks loose a negative
charge, leaving behind a positive charge, in a semiconducting material such as
silicon. The positive and negative charges are then collected through separate
conducting layers to be delivered as current to a load. Defects within the
semiconductor layer can affect the power conversion efficiency by reducing the
voltage and the current delivered to the load. Elimination of these defects can
only occur through expensive purification and processing.
The NGD Technologys principle of operation avoids the
detrimental effects of defects within the semiconductor absorber layers by
disposing of it altogether, and thus has the potential to simultaneously satisfy
the requirements of high power conversion efficiencies and low costs. In
addition, by eliminating expensive and exotic materials and manufacturing in a
continuous rather than batch or wafer based process, we believe module costs can
be reduced well below $1 per Watt-peak
(W
p
), the nominal price
of a solar
module widely recognized as the standard of solar commercial
enablement.
The market for solar energy has been limited by the costs of
panels and by their low efficiencies. Quantum expects that with its low cost,
high efficiency NGD that the economics of solar power will prove to be superior
to alternatives and that new and unforeseen markets will open for solar
devices.
The solar panel business has been in a high growth phase over
the past years however it is not sustainable since the growth has been
fundamentally based on the availability of tax incentives, subsidies and other
inducements. The economics of unsubsidized solar power are not attractive except
in certain niche applications where choices are limited and the high costs can
be justified.
An average crystalline silicon cell solar module has an
efficiency of 15%, an average thin film cell solar module has an efficiency of
6%. Thin film manufacturing costs potentially are lower, though. Crystalline
silicon cell technology forms about 90% of solar cell demand. The balance comes
from thin film technologies. Approximately 45% of the cost of a silicon cell
solar module is driven by the cost of the silicon wafer, a further 35% is driven
by the materials required to assemble the solar module.
Thin film manufacturer First Solar is reported in some
publications to have approximately $6 billion in contracts between 2010 and
2013. If First Solar were to have the opportunity to accept contracts worth $1
trillion and had the manufacturing capability to fulfill these contracts they
would still be inhibited and negatively governed by material availability.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is enough tellurium available in
global reserves to meet only 0.02 Terawatts (TRW) of energy provision using
existing thin film technology. The same applies to San Jose, California-based
Nanosolars Indium supply. Both companies current material choices (according to
the Andrea Feltrin, Alex Freundlich Report, Photovoltaics and Nanostructures
Laboratories, Center for Advanced Materials and Physics Department, University
of Houston, Texas) limits these companies forever to sub-Gigawatt energy
production (maximum 0.02 TRW per year).
5
Current Thin Film companies are coming close to competing
commercially with coal but the materials they use such as tellurium and indium
are very rare and capable of meeting only 0.13% of the worldwide energy demand
even if they accessed the entire worldwide reserves of these materials.

PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of
operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the nine
month period ended March 31, 2011 and changes in our financial condition from
June 30, 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2010 filed with the SEC on September 13, 2010.
If we can obtain sufficient financing we intend to continue the
final development of our NGD Technology, and identify and engage original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) interested in licensing our technology. We
anticipate that the licensing agreements will be between us and OEMs with the
expertise and facilities required to mass manufacture solar cells based on our
NGD technology and that the OEMs will distribute the solar cells worldwide
using their existing sales and marketing channels and at their expense. The cost
of manufacture will be solely the responsibility of the OEMs. We expect to
receive revenue on royalties based on the number of cells produced by the OEMs.
This business model should allow us to maximize capital resources available at
startup and through our OEM licensees positively address the demand for high
efficiency solar cell devices. This business model should enable us to increase
revenues and create brand recognition without the time, capital and risk
associated with manufacturing plant construction.
There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient
financing to proceed with our plan of operation.

For the period from inception on April 14, 2004 to March 31,
2011, we have not earned any operating revenue. We had an accumulated net loss
of $5,498,519 since inception. We incurred total operating expenses of
$5,392,519 since inception.
We have not earned any revenues since inception. We do not
anticipate earning revenues until such time as we complete further development
of, and enter into licensing agreements for our NGD Cell Technology. We are
presently in the development stage of our business and we can provide no
assurance that we will be able to generate revenues from sales of our product or
that the revenues generated will exceed the operating costs of our business.
Operating Expenses
We have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $882,887
for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011. Operating expenses for this period

Our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2011 have increased as a result of increased operations in the
development of our NGD
TM
Technology. This has resulted in increased
research and development activities and general and administrative expenses. All
expenses increased from fiscal 2010 to 2011. Professional fees related to
meeting our ongoing reporting requirements with the SEC.
We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we
undertake our plan of operation. The increase will be attributable to our
development, of our NGD solar cell technology. We also anticipate our ongoing
operating expenses will also increase as a result of our ongoing reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act.
Net Loss
We incurred a loss in the amount of $5,498,519 for the period
from inception to March 31, 2011. Our loss was attributable to the costs of
operating expenses which primarily consisted of research and development costs,
general and administrative expenses and professional fees paid in connection
with preparing and filing our Current, Quarterly and Annual Reports.

As at March 31, 2011, we had cash of $1,148,052 and a working
capital surplus of $924,319.
The change in our working capital at March 31, 2011 from our
year ended June 30, 2010 is primarily a result of increases in proceeds from the
sale of common stock and from decreases in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, and our revolving line of credit with CIO. The increase in our cash
used during the period ended on March 31, 2011 from the comparable periods of
the preceding fiscal years is due to increases in operating expenditures.
8
Future Financings
As of March 31, 2011, we had cash on hand of $1,148,052. Since
our inception, we have used proceeds from the sales of our common stock to raise
money for our operations and for our technology acquisition. We have not
attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to
pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their
report to our audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010,
that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going
concern.
We have no revenues to date from our inception. We anticipate
continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to continue to
fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in
dilution to our existing stockholders. We believe that we have obtained
sufficient financing to cover our anticipated expenses over the next four
months. However, there is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales
of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing for to fund our
planned business activities.
Significant Trends, Uncertainties and Challenges
We believe that the significant trends, uncertainties and
challenges that directly or indirectly affect our financial performance and
results of operations include:
-
Our ability to achieve module efficiencies and other performance targets
through our partners, and to obtain necessary or desired certifications for
our photovoltaic modules based on our technology, in a timely manner;
-
Our ability to license the technology to effective manufacturers and/or
distributers;
-
Our ability to achieve projected operational performance and cost metrics;
-
Our ability to consummate strategic relationships with key partners,
including original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers, system integrators,
value added resellers and distributors who deal directly with manufacturers
and end-users.
-
Changes in the supply and demand for photovoltaic modules as well as
fluctuations in selling prices for photovoltaic modules worldwide;
-
Our ability to raise additional capital on terms favorable to us;
-
Our future strategic partners expansion of their manufacturing facilities,
operations and personnel; and
-
Our ability and the ability of our distributors, suppliers and customers to
manage operations and orders during financial crisis and financial downturn.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to
our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report for the year
ended June 30, 2010.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company is actively engaged in research and development
activities internationally and is exposed to foreign currency risk. We currently
conduct significant research and development operations on a contractual basis
at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.
We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in
any hedging activities. Because most of our purchases and sales will made in
Canadian dollars, any exchange rate change affecting the value of the in
Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar could have an effect on our
financial results as reported in U.S. dollars. If the Canadian dollar were to
depreciate against the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be
correspondingly reduced. If the in Canadian dollar were to appreciate against
the U.S. dollar, amounts reported in U.S. dollars would be correspondingly
increased.
Although our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, we may
conduct business and incur costs in the local currencies of other countries in
which we may operate, make sales and buy materials. As a result, we are subject
to currency translation risk. Further, changes in exchange rates between foreign
currencies and the U.S. dollar could affect our future net sales and cost of
sales and could result in exchange losses.
We cannot accurately predict future exchange rates or the
overall impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risks for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to our cash equivalents. This can also have an effect on the
ability of manufacturers and consumers to obtain sufficient financing to
license, manufacture, distribute or purchase a device using our technology.
Commodity and Component Risk
Failure to receive timely delivery of production tools by our
future licensees equipment suppliers could delay manufacturing capacity and
materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition in future periods. The failure of any suppliers to perform could
disrupt our future licensees supply chain and impair our operations.
If delivery of production tools or raw materials are not made
on schedule or at all, then our licensees might be unable to carry out our
commercialization and manufacturing plans, produce photovoltaic modules in the
volumes and at the times that we expect or generate sufficient revenue from
operations, and our business, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially and adversely affected.
Credit Risk
We currently do not hold financial instruments that subject us
to credit risk. Our receivables are all in the form of security deposits and
travel advances to employees and so expose us to minimal risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
10
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2011 (the Evaluation Date). This evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date
as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial
reporting discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010.
Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over
financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as
identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in
our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2011
fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in
all material respects.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter months ended March 31, 2011
that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
If photovoltaic technology is not suitable for widespread
adoption, or if sufficient demand for solar modules does not develop or takes
longer to develop than we anticipate, we may never earn revenues or become
profitable.
The solar energy market is at a relatively early stage of
development and the extent to which solar modules will be widely adopted is
uncertain. If photovoltaic technology proves unsuitable for widespread adoption
or if demand for solar modules fails to develop sufficiently, we may be unable
to grow our business or generate sufficient net sales to sustain profitability.
In addition, demand for solar modules in our targeted may not develop or may
develop to a lesser extent than we anticipate. Many factors may affect the
viability of widespread adoption of photovoltaic technology and demand for solar
modules, including the following:
1.
|
cost-effectiveness of the electricity generated by
photovoltaic power systems compared to conventional energy sources and
products, including conventional energy sources, such as natural gas, and
other non-solar renewable energy sources, such as wind;
|
|
|
2.
|
availability and substance of government subsidies,
incentives and renewable portfolio standards to support the development of
the solar energy industry;
|
|
|
3.
|
performance and reliability of photovoltaic systems
compared to conventional and other non-solar renewable energy sources and
products;
|
|
|
4.
|
success of other renewable energy generation
technologies, such as hydroelectric, tidal, wind, geothermal, solar
thermal, concentrated photovoltaic, and biomass;
|
|
|
5.
|
fluctuations in economic and market conditions that
affect the price of, and demand for, conventional and non-solar renewable
energy sources, such as increases or decreases in the price of oil,
natural gas and other fossil fuels; and
|
|
|
6.
|
fluctuations in capital expenditures by end-users of
solar modules, which tend to decrease when the economy slows and interest
rates increase.
|
An increase in interest rates or lending rates or tightening
of the supply of capital in the global financial markets (including a reduction
in total tax equity availability) could make it difficult for end-users to
finance the cost of a photovoltaic system and could reduce the demand for solar
modules utilizing our NGD Technology and/or lead to a reduction in the average
selling price for photovoltaic modules.
Many of potential solar technology customers will depend on
debt financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to develop,
build and purchase a photovoltaic system. As a result, an increase in interest
rates or lending rates could make it difficult for our potential customers to
secure the financing necessary to develop, build, purchase or install a
photovoltaic system on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our
solar modules which could limit our growth or reduce our net sales. Due to the
overall economic outlook, our end-users may change their decision or change the
timing of their decision to develop, build, purchase or install a photovoltaic
system. In addition, we believe that a significant percentage of our end-users
install photovoltaic systems as an investment, funding the initial capital
expenditure through a combination of equity and debt. An increase in interest
rates and/or lending rates could lower an investors return on investment in a
photovoltaic system, increase equity return requirements or make alternative
investments more attractive relative to photovoltaic systems, and, in each case,
could cause these end-users to seek alternative investments. A reduction in the
supply of project debt financing or tax equity investments could reduce the
number of solar projects that receive financing and thus lower demand for solar
modules.
Existing regulations and policies and changes to these
regulations and policies may present technical, regulatory and economic barriers
to the purchase and use of photovoltaic products, which may significantly reduce
demand for our solar modules.
12
The market for electricity generation products is heavily
influenced by foreign, federal, state and local government regulations and
policies concerning the electric utility industry, as well as policies
promulgated by electric utilities. These regulations and policies often relate
to electricity pricing and technical interconnection of customer-owned
electricity generation. In the United States and in a number of other countries,
these regulations and policies have been modified in the past and may be
modified again in the future. These regulations and policies could deter
end-user purchases of photovoltaic products and investment in the research and
development of photovoltaic technology. For example, without a mandated
regulatory exception for photovoltaic systems, utility customers are often
charged interconnection or standby fees for putting distributed power generation
on the electric utility grid. If these interconnection standby fees were
applicable to photovoltaic systems, it is likely that they would increase the
cost to our end-users of using photovoltaic systems which could make them less
desirable, thereby harming our business, prospects, results of operations and
financial condition. In addition, electricity generated by photovoltaic systems
mostly competes with expensive peak hour electricity, rather than the less
expensive average price of electricity. Modifications to the peak hour pricing
policies of utilities, such as to a flat rate for all times of the day, would
require photovoltaic systems to achieve lower prices in order to compete with
the price of electricity from other sources.
We anticipate that solar modules utilizing our technology and
their installation will be subject to oversight and regulation in accordance
with national and local ordinances relating to building codes, safety,
environmental protection, utility interconnection and metering and related
matters. It is difficult to track the requirements of individual states and
design equipment to comply with the varying standards. Any new government
regulations or utility policies pertaining to our solar modules may result in
significant additional expenses to us, our resellers and their customers and, as
a result, could cause a significant reduction in demand for our solar
modules.
We face intense competition from manufacturers of
crystalline silicon solar modules, thin film solar modules and solar thermal and
concentrated photovoltaic systems; if global supply exceeds global demand, it
could lead to a reduction in the average selling price for photovoltaic
modules.
The solar energy and renewable energy industries are both
highly competitive and continually evolving as participants strive to
distinguish themselves within their markets and compete with the larger electric
power industry. Within the global photovoltaic industry, we face competition
from crystalline silicon solar module manufacturers, other thin film solar
module manufacturers and companies developing solar thermal and concentrated
photovoltaic technologies.
Even if demand for solar modules continues to grow, the rapid
expansion plans of many solar cell and module manufacturers could create periods
where supply exceeds demand.
During any such period, our competitors could decide to reduce
their sales price in response to competition, even below their manufacturing
cost, in order to generate sales. As a result our partners may be unable to sell
solar modules based on our technology at attractive prices, or for a profit,
during any period of excess supply of solar modules, which would reduce our net
sales and adversely affect our results of operations. Also, we may decide to
lower our average selling price to certain customers in certain markets in
response to competition.
Our failure to further refine our technology and develop and
introduce improved photovoltaic products could render solar modules based on our
technology uncompetitive or obsolete and reduce our net sales and market
share.
We will need to invest significant financial resources in
research and development to continue to improve our module conversion efficiency
and to otherwise keep pace with technological advances in the solar energy
industry. However, research and development activities are inherently uncertain
and we could encounter practical difficulties in commercializing our research
results. We seek to continuously improve our products and processes, and the
resulting changes carry potential risks in the form of delays, additional costs
or other unintended contingencies. In addition, our significant expenditures on
research and development may not produce corresponding benefits. In addition,
other companies could potentially develop a highly reliable renewable energy
system that mitigates the intermittent power production drawback of many
renewable energy systems, or offers other value-added improvements from the
perspective of utilities and other system owners, in which case such companies could compete with us even
if the levelized cost of electricity associated with such new system is higher
than that of our systems. Our solar modules may be rendered obsolete by the
technological advances of our competitors, which could reduce our net sales and
market share.
13
Our failure to protect our intellectual property rights may
undermine our competitive position and litigation to protect our intellectual
property rights or defend against third-party allegations of infringement may be
costly.
Protection of our proprietary processes, methods and other
technology is critical to our business. Failure to protect and monitor the use
of our existing intellectual property rights could result in the loss of
valuable technologies. We rely primarily on patents, trademarks, trade secrets,
copyrights and contractual restrictions to protect our intellectual property.
Our existing provisional patents and future patents could be challenged,
invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable. Our pending patent
applications may not result in issued patents, or if patents are issued to us,
such patents may not be sufficient to provide meaningful protection against
competitors or against competitive technologies.
We also rely upon unpatented proprietary manufacturing
expertise, continuing technological innovation and other trade secrets to
develop and maintain our competitive position. While we generally enter into
confidentiality agreements with our associates and third parties to protect our
intellectual property, such confidentiality agreements are limited in duration
and could be breached and may not provide meaningful protection for our trade
secrets or proprietary manufacturing expertise. Adequate remedies may not be
available in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets
and manufacturing expertise. In addition, others may obtain knowledge of our
trade secrets through independent development or legal means. The failure of our
patents or confidentiality agreements to protect our processes, equipment,
technology, trade secrets and proprietary manufacturing expertise, methods and
compounds could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition,
effective patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret protection may be
unavailable or limited in some foreign countries, especially any developing
countries into which we may expand our operations. In some countries we have not
applied for patent, trademark or copyright protection.
Third parties may infringe or misappropriate our proprietary
technologies or other intellectual property rights, which could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
Policing unauthorized use of proprietary technology can be difficult and
expensive. Also, litigation may be necessary to enforce our intellectual
property rights, protect our trade secrets or determine the validity and scope
of the proprietary rights of others. We cannot assure you that the outcome of
such potential litigation will be in our favor. Such litigation may be costly
and may divert management attention and other resources away from our business.
An adverse determination in any such litigation may impair our intellectual
property rights and may harm our business, prospects and reputation. In
addition, we have no insurance coverage against litigation costs and would have
to bear all costs arising from such litigation to the extent we are unable to
recover them from other parties.
We have yet to attain profitable operations and we will need
additional financing to fund continued development of solar energy
products.
We have incurred a net loss of $5,498,519 for the period from
inception to March 31, 2011, and have earned no revenues to date. We expect to
spend additional capital in order produce and market solar energy products which
we are licensed to do, and establish our infrastructure and organization to
support anticipated operations. We cannot be certain whether we will ever earn a
significant amount of revenues or profit, or, if we do, that we will be able to
continue earning such revenues or profit. Also, any economic weakness may limit
our ability to continue development and ultimately market our products and
services. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result
in investors losing a portion or all of their investment. These factors raise
substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. We have
cash in the amount of $1,148,052 as at March 31, 2011.
We believe that we have obtained sufficient financing to fund
our anticipated expenditures for the next four months. However, business
activities beyond the next four months will require additional funding in the
event that our cash on hand is insufficient for any additional work proposed. We
currently do not have sufficient arrangements for future financing and we may
not be able to obtain financing when required.
14
Our financial statements included with this Quarterly Report
have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. If we are
not able to earn revenues, then we may not be able to continue as a going
concern and our financial condition and business prospects will be adversely
affected. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue
as a going concern and adversely affect our ability to obtain additional
financing.
Our short operating history makes our business difficult to
evaluate, accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which to base an
evaluation of our business and prospects.
Our business is in the early stage of development and we have
not generated any revenues or profit to date. We commenced our operations in
April, 2004. Because of our limited operating history, investors may not have
adequate information on which they can base an evaluation of our business and
prospects. To date, we have done the following:
1.
|
Completed organizational activities;
|
2.
|
Developed a business plan;
|
3.
|
Obtained interim funding;
|
4.
|
Engaged consultants for professional services;
and
|
5.
|
Acquired NGD Technology.
|
In order to establish ourselves as a technology supplier, we
are dependent upon continued funding and the successful development of the NGD
Technology and products. Failure to obtain funding for continued development and
marketing would result in us having difficulty establishing licensing agreements
for our technology or achieving profitability. Investors should be aware of the
increased risks, uncertainties, difficulties and expenses we face as a
development stage company and our business may fail and investors may lose their
entire investment.
We have a limited operating history upon which to base an
evaluation of our business and prospects. Our business and prospects must be
considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently
encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly
companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as renewable energy. These
risks include the initial completion of a developed product, the demand for the
companys product, the companys ability to adapt to rapid technological change,
the level of product and price competition, the companys success in setting up
and expanding distribution channels and whether the company can develop and
market new products and control costs.
To address these risks, we must successfully implement our
business plan and marketing strategies. We may not successfully implement all or
any of our business strategies or successfully address the risks and
uncertainties that we encounter. We have no history of earning revenues and
there is no assurance that we will be able to generate revenues from sales or
that the revenues generated will exceed the operating costs of our business.
Operating results are difficult to predict, with the result
that we may not achieve profitability and our business may fail.
Our future financial results are uncertain due to a number of
factors, many of which are outside our control. These factors include:
1.
|
Our ability to successfully license our technology to
OEMs and the ability of licensees to attract customers;
|
2.
|
Our ability to generate revenue through the licensing of
the NGD Technology;
|
3.
|
The amount and timing of costs relating to expansion of
our operations;
|
4.
|
The announcement or introduction of competing
distributors and products of competitors; and
|
5.
|
General economic conditions and economic conditions
specific to the solar power generation.
|
We believe that we can compete favorably on these factors.
However, we will have no control over how successful our competitors are in
addressing these factors. These factors could negatively impact on our financial
results, with the result that we may not achieve profitability and our business
may fail.
15
We will require additional financing and may not be able to
continue operations if additional financing is not obtained.
As of March 31, 2011, we had cash in the amount of $1,148,052.
Under the Foreign Private Placement we have obtained sufficient financing to
fund our anticipated business activities over the next four months. Our total
expenditures over the next four months are anticipated to be approximately
$1,100,000 the majority of which is due to the development and marketing of our
products and general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated
with our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. Depending on the success
of our initial marketing efforts, we estimate that we will require further
funding to implement an advertising campaign to establish and enhance awareness
of our products.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 of our
June 30, 2010 year end audited financial statements, we are in the development
stage of operations, have had losses from operations since inception, and have
insufficient working capital available to meet ongoing financial obligations
over the next fiscal year. After the fiscal year end, we will require additional
financing for any operational expenses and to pursue our plan of operation. We
will require additional capital and financing in order to continue otherwise our
business will fail. We have no agreements for additional financing and there can
be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us on acceptable
terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operation.
We will depend on recruiting and retaining qualified
personnel and the inability to do so would seriously harm our business.
Our success is dependent in part on the services of certain key
management personnel, including Daryl J. Ehrmantraut, our Chief Executive
Officer and President, Graham R. Hughes, our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary
and Treasurer, and Dr. Andras Pattantyus-Abraham, our Chief Technology Officer.
We have an employment agreement with Mr. Ehrmantraut. We do not have employment
agreements with Mr. Hughes or Dr. Pattantyus-Abraham. We do not have any
employment agreements with any third parties providing services to us. The
experience of these individuals is an important factor contributing to our
success and growth and the loss of one or more of these individuals could have a
material adverse effect on our company. Our future success also depends on our
attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled personnel and we may be
unable to retain our key personnel or attract, assimilate or retain other highly
qualified personnel in the future.
We may become liable for defects or patent disputes that
arise and this could negatively affect our business.
We may become liable for any defects that exist in the NGD
Technology, or any patent disputes. If we are deemed to be liable for any
defects or licensing issues, this will have a material adverse impact on our
financial condition and results of operation.
Because we are significantly smaller and less established we
may lack the financial resources necessary to compete effectively and sustain
profitability.
Our future success depends on our ability to compete
effectively with other distributors of other solar technology. Many of these
competitors are more established, offer more products, services and features,
have a greater number of clients, locations, and employees, and also have
significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, public relations, name
recognition, and other resources than we have. While our objective is to
continue to develop our technology, if we do not compete effectively with
current and future competitors, we may not generate enough revenue to be
profitable. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and
result in investors losing a portion or all of their investment. Increased
competition may result in increased operating costs and the inability to
generate revenues, any one of which could materially adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Many of our current and
potential competitors have significantly greater financial, marketing, customer
support, technical and other resources than us. As a result, such competitors
may be able to attract potential customers away from us, and they may be able to
devote greater resources to the development and promotion of their products than
we can.
16
We do not intend to pay dividends in the near
future.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to
declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our board of directors
determines whether to pay dividends on our issued and outstanding shares. The
declaration of dividends will depend upon our future earnings, our capital
requirements, our financial condition and other relevant factors. The Nevada
Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after
giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1.
|
We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due
in the usual course of business; or
|
|
|
2.
|
Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total
liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of
stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the
distribution.
|
Our board does not intend to declare any dividends on our
shares for the foreseeable future.
Our business is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations
causing negative changes in exchange rates to result in greater costs.
A portion of our expenses and capital spending will be
transacted in Canadian dollars. We do not have a foreign currency hedging
program in place. Due to the unpredictable behavior of foreign currency exchange
rate fluctuations we cannot assure that this will not have a material adverse
impact on our financial condition and results of operation.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be
more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices
in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ
system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.
Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the
meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may
further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any
market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common
stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule
15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:
1.
|
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in
the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
|
|
|
2.
|
contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties
to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer
with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of
securities laws;
|
|
|
3.
|
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a
dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the
significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
|
|
|
4.
|
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on
disciplinary actions;
|
|
|
5.
|
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or
in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and
|
|
|
6.
|
contains such other information and is in such form,
including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by
rule or regulation.
|
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any
transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and
ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS.
On February 8, 2011, we issued an aggregate of 10,000 shares of
our common stock at a price of $1.00 per share to individuals who submitted
completed subscription agreements before our foreign private placement offering
closed, but did not receive their shares. The shares were issued pursuant to the
provisions of Regulation S of the Act to persons who represented that they were
not "U.S. Persons" as defined under Regulation S and not acquiring the shares
for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, we issued an
aggregate of 161,500 shares of our common stock, accepted as compensation by
finders who provided personal introductions to the Company for the purposes of
completing our foreign private placement offering. The shares were issued
pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S of the Act to persons who represented
that they were not "U.S. Persons" as defined under Regulation S and not
acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.
On March 31 2011, as part consideration for services rendered
in accordance with the terms of a business consulting agreement between Caisey
Harlingten and us dated April 19, 2010, we issued 30,000 shares of our common
stock to Mr. Harlingten. The Shares were issued to Mr. Harlingten pursuant to
Regulation S under the Act. Mr. Harlingten represented that he is not a U.S.

account or benefit of a U.S. Person.
