Cars,
clearly CTSO has a product the WORLD understands is filling an important urgent care need--and that it will continue to save lives. CTSO, as you know, has taken a conservative approach to the FDA seeking approval in relation to Cardiac Surgery, where the case for its efficacy is clearest and strongest. I'm curious about how much this company will grow, as global sales continue to ramp up, before the FDA (eventually??) approves. Clearly CTSO is being very careful and cautious with FDA as it appears nothing is a sure thing with this process. Ease of use and safety records appear stellar and will continue to drive acceptance. Looking forward to more good news from rest of world and FDA pathway.
I wonder why there isn't more of a following here. I don't have time to converse much here, but I'm invested and paying close attention to this company.
GLTA
Agree! Both points!
Thanks Spartak, If thats true--it snuck in under my radar!! I've only been here waay to long (with two a's) ha.
Clearsudden,
What makes you sure? I'd like to share your optimistism about this myself.
Best,
Thanks for the careful read of this Jamis, I'm wondering if this language is somehow related to Uniglobe Kisco and paralene coatings and new applications that push beyond film...
Best,
Thanks DDhawk for this clear and concise summation of Sri's incentivised agreement with QMA.
Best
This is a 2015 article by Carlson. Good nevertheless.
Thanks for re-posting Jamis.
Thanks Solar. From the updated solterra site under "business objectives":
"Solterra intends to acquire a significant amount of solar photovoltaic market share by introducing a new generation of solar cells built on industry-leading technologies that are ready to emerge from the R&D realm and begin full-scale production by commercializing a high volume, extremely competitive cost-per-watt, quantum dot based third-generation photovoltaic solar cell."
I think its exciting to see a small company that is not just "green-washing" but really gearing up to make a significant change in energy patterns and the human ecological equation. Construction of coal-burning electrical generation plants in China (and elsewhere) needs to wind down if we want to cap global carbon emissions and maintain the climate conditions (and a way of life) we're accustomed to.
China knows this. The business "tipping point" appears to be at hand. Better late than never. Go Steve. Go Solterra. 24-hour clean energy solar panels! Fire up R2R production!

From what I've witnessed in the past two years, I second your commentary Lineman. Many strategic and thoughtful moves accumulating. Nice to give credit where it is due among a very small group of individuals--lead by Squires of course.
Agree DDHawk, empowering an experienced marketing expert is an exciting move at this point in time. Sri was involved with some explosive growth in prior jobs. SS focusing on developments in china, the epicenter of quantum display and solar growth, another exciting strategic move. QMC appears to be making serious decisions that play to the strengths they already have and have been recently assembling.
Best
Exciting development! Multiple benefits from this latest move imo. The company continues to position itself for a busy (near) future.
Best wishes to all
Thanks Trevorbc, very nice little article. And while you've got your red highlighter working, why not include the last paragraph with quotes from Ray Martin? All very good.
Best
Nice article Trevorbc. Really seems to confirm that QMC is accurately reading the industry (and research) roadmap, as indicated by other companies and Bawendi. And is making smart, anticipatory moves.
Best,
Monday Morning press release:
QMC Enters Next Phase of
Cadmium-Free Quantum Dot Development
Company participating at SID’s Display Week Conference in San Francisco
San Marcos, TX – May 23, 2016– Quantum Materials Corp (OTCBB: QTMM) today announced that it has completed the initial development phase with its display film partners and is entering a preproduction phase in which the Company has committed to an accelerated sample optimization and delivery schedule for its cadmium-free quantum dots.
Quantum Materials has begun shipping additional deliveries of cadmium-free quantum dot samples to its partners and is scheduled to increase shipment quantities as development reaches pre-commercial scale later this year. The Company anticipates that, in conjunction with its partners, commercial quantities of a high performance cadmium-free quantum dot film will be available to display manufacturers in early 2017. Increasing concern over the use of cadmium in consumer displays has been driven by RoHS Directives and heightened corporate environmental responsibility, resulting in significant interest from the display industry in a cadmium-free quantum dot display film.
“Our decision to accelerate development of cadmium-free quantum dots and our ability to recruit a distinguished scientific, technical and production team has allowed us to achieve this milestone and initiate ramping-up of sample production volumes,” said Stephen Squires, President and CEO of Quantum Materials Corp. “The revolutionary nature of our high-volume production process is recognized by our esteemed customers and partners and has allowed us to attract talented employees on the cutting edge of the nano-sciences. On a daily basis the Quantum Materials’ team is accelerating discovery and fast-tracking significant advances in material science.”
Quantum Materials will be participating at the Society for Information Display (SID) ‘Display Week 2016 International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition’ from May 22-May 27, 2016 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California. Quantum Materials will be exhibiting in partnership with Uniglobe Kisco Inc. at Booth 1342 and Mr. Squires will be participating in a CMO panel discussion on Wednesday morning at 8:30am in Room 123.
“We value our relationship with Kisco and look forward to working with them at DisplayWeek to continue growing the current customer partnerships they have facilitated and build upon the momentum we are developing as a team,” Mr. Squires concluded.

Jamis, I'd like to hear what the Uniglobe-Kisco reps say when they are asked during display week, "What's your relationship with these QMC guys"?
Anyone here walking the floor?
Best,
From the Kisco site:
Quantum dot
It is possible to generate more power by scattering quantum dots onto the surfaces of solar panel glasses, EVA sheets and silicone cells, and by transforming unused UV lights/infrared lights in solar energy generation into a visible light region (500-600nm region).
Hey Trevorbc, with the above application of of QD's --wouldn't the same treatment of window glass create windows that are "brighter " than the incoming light? In low light architectural settings or low light climates does this have future application ? (along with solar power generation directly from window surfaces of course)
Best
A "Sunday Short Course" at SID that I wouldn't mind sitting in on if I could...
S-3
Room130
3:00-
7:00 pm
Prof. Vladimir Bulovic
MIT School of Engineering, Cambridge, MA, USA S-3: Fundamentals of Printed Active Surfaces
This course will present the science and technology behind a series of recent commercial advancements enabled by nanostructured materials. For example, high luminescence efficiency and tunable saturated color of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) led to their commercialization in energy-efficient lighting and in millions of high-color-quality displays and will next enable the launch of a new QD-LED technology. Building to such technology examples, the course will begin with an exposition of a series of advantageous general phenomena encountered in nano-scale materials and structures and then use these to construct nano-scale devices. Scaling to practical paper-thin technologies will lead us to highlight the new manufacturing techniques and allow us to allude to a series of opportunities just beyond the present horizon.

Spartak, given QMC's position as a very small fish swimming with some very big partner fishes--QMC will continue to be subject to severe restrictions on what news is revealed and when. We just don't get to call all the shots--period. Big things appear to be unfolding that will eventually emerge from a climate of "silence".
That said, I do expect some news to come come out of this display week--(in fact significant news already has). But if no further news arrives -- will I sell? No way. Things are happening behind the scenes. I'll be looking at the year as a whole and the company's stated goals. I have developed some faith in the strategic thinking of management because, frankly, they have earned it by delivering concrete achievements.
If we see ten, I'm buying again!
glta
Thanks Ih8aloss,
Timely and intriguing reread! Some very basic unanswered questions are looming large. At some point soon we will burst out of Warner's "speculative" world into the world of facts, contracts and revs!
Best to all!
Jamis, all,
Given the lack of exciting new weekend finds, I fed Jamis China news discovery from last Sunday into a different translating program (Systranet.com). This yielded some nuanced differences that our more exacting readers might enjoy. No startling revelations, but it does highlight the ambiguity of language in translation and the value, eventually, of getting QMC's version of what this meeting was all about. I think it also helps point out (what we already know) that China has a different business/PR culture. QMA's first "Board of Directors Beiing Workshop/Conference" is indeed a curious multifaceted event... FWIW
China mass production quantum dot material fill blank on May 08, 2016 11:19 origin: Chinese economical net Li Wanxiang [hits printed book manuscript] [words big is small] [cell phone reads news] Chinese economical net Beijing on May 8 news (by Li Wanxiang) on the morning of May 8, the quantum material (Asia) the limited company first board of directors Beijing workshop is held in new century JAL Hotels. The conference is chaired by director Mr. Liu Xiao. US Quantum Materials Corp. The founder and president in Stephen Mr. Squires company, Dr. Liu Peng and other all directors attended the conference, some management attend the conference. It has been learned that this conference has made three important decisions. First, (Beijing) limited company cooperates with Nobel science and technology, puts up a factory in mainland China investment, production quantum material. Second, in mainland China establishment quantum material application R&D center , to promote the quantum dot in demonstration, illumination, solar electrical energy generation, communication and other domain the applied research. Third, to promote the production and applied research of quantum material, forms one "quantum material industry investment fund", scale 5 billion Renminbi. Liu Xiao introduced that the quantum material (Asia) limited company registers in Hong Kong, by Hong Kong glory science and technology limited company and US Quantum Materials Corp. (I.e. QMC) joint contribution, both sides hold the stockholder's rights respectively 50%. QMC is North American one produces the quantum dot material specially the listed company, is the global most competitive quantum dot material handling business. Compared with other colleagues, the quantum dot that QMC produces does not include toxic substance - cadmium, and quality is optimal, the production cost is lowest, the output is biggest. Stephen Mr. Squires talked about, the quantum dot material is the future world most has one of the development potential new materials. Quantum dot size is at 2 to 20nm about, by minority atomic buildings. As the internal structure and size are different, can send out the different color light. When the size is precise enough, may send out the bright red greenish blue light, and is easy to adjust, can more accurate control color display, in the demonstration, illumination, stored energy, the gene mark, the drug screen, the solar electrical energy generation, communication, forgery-proof and other domains, possibly start a revolution. It is reported that in mainland China production quantum dot material, will fill our country directly in this domain blank, simultaneously is helpful to promoting the transformations of some of our country industries.

Nice call Suny! And a little green for us to boot!
I enjoy this moment of encouraging information drift and trust in the thinking of the managment to release or not release PR's as needed.
Its easy to see there are significant things in the works--we are not blind with the clues we have in hand, but its also not difficult to image why, strategically, QMC might not PR the latest news bits.
1) a possible shift toward more "underpromise, over-deliver" thinking. If so I'm fine with this. I think there are factual, product related, revenue related events on the near horizon and i'm look forward to unambigous, impactfull PRs as concrete events play out.
2) regarding Uniglobe: They are introducing QMC. At a major trade event. Despite our impatience as investors--lets let them do this. Why race to over-explain this when the timing of more news is unambiguous and Uniglobe has picked up the microphone. Personally, I want to hear from them not QMC. I think this is a very positive PR moment without the PR from QMC. Very cool on the part of QMC management.
3) regarding the recent QMA meeting, the announcement of a giant fund is indeed fascinating--but who yet knows what this means? private, corporate, government funds? It is no surprise that QMC has little or no experience with how this fund materializes--and no surprise that a QMC press release is not yet the place for providing more information on this. Again, a super positive development- but hard to nail down in a PR without over-reaching at this point. If this is government funding I assume everyone respectfully awaits a government PR. Or maybe its an investment fund that will open its doors to investors when ready? Again, I've developed some faith in the strategic thinking of QMC management and I'm very happy, for the moment, watching things unfold.
IMHO

It appears we are running out of steam for the moment, but any serious drop in price will quickly bring in buyers imo. Including me. Too much compelling news waiting in the wings. Rev's may still take a while but so much strategic alignment occurring...
(same thinking Spartak as in your prior post)
Thank you Kinnaree for sharing this info archive. The vitamin/Nobel document reveals a lot, not only about some of the people involved in QMAsia but also about a culture of doing business in hongkong/china. Difficult to decipher some aspects of this PR event and the way that finished plans, and speculative futures are combined. Intriguing never the less.
Good luck with your coconuts!
Looking back at the GTG JV partnership press release these two passages stood out for me. At the time both underlined comments looked like optimistic and speculative filler. Now it is beginning to appear that a major alignment of resources is occurring. These two comments were indicators, it would appear, of what we are now seeing unfold.
ABOUT GUANGHUI TECHNOLOGY GROUP
Guanghui Technology Group (GTG) is Financial Advisory and Services Company aiming at assisting advanced technological companies to enter into China market. GTG’s founding partners and affiliates have contributed to a number of high-profile government and industrial funding projects including multi-billion dollar fund raising in the China display sector as well as large scale international M&A in solar energy sector, also involved in a number of strategic investment projects in diversified fields such as Lighting, Li-ion battery, Biomedical and Security, etc.
and from S Squires:
“This agreement represents our commitment to provide customers with best-in-class Quantum Dot materials, including Cadmium free quantum dots. Our patented mass production process enables us to rapidly establish locally based manufacturing to meet their volume production demands,” commented Stephen B. Squires, Founder and CEO of Quantum Materials Corp. “Combining our resources and expertise in advanced quantum dot technologies with GTG’s strong financial support and business relationships with top-tier manufacturers of displays, lighting products and solar panels will facilitate generating tremendous business opportunities in both the government and private sectors.”
Thanks BigE for this substantial posting. It helps clarify the apparent industry roadmap--clearly QD are central. I also like "display industry in the wave of Chinese power" Awkward translation, but seems to say it all.
Best
Yes, hopefully a significant PR regarding significant events on our way to significant revenue.
But I have to admit that I love these indicators of strategic pieces being put in place--that are not being PR'ed. More facts will of course be appreciated, but for now, this is very entertaining!
Thank you Jamis. Excellent find! Another intriguing weekend!
BigE My entry: Oct 15--for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
I've suddenly become very interested in Parylene coatings! both for LED and Solar apps. A best of class material for encapsulating thin film electronics of all types. Thus (perhaps) Uniglobe parylene coating expertise and Nitto Film expertise are aligning to serve up QDX product.
Kisco worldwide network lands close to home. Scroll down to US offices.
Fine Polymers LLC -- Austin, Tx
UKI also proudly introduces Quantum Materials Corp (QMC), developer of an industry-first continuous-flow..
Looking forward to some details regarding what proudly introduces means.
Bravo Beacher!
Great find! This global coating specialist appears to be a sweet fit--best in class coatings for both LED and Solar. Silicone lenses, parylene coatings, commitment to innovation, global footprint..Go Kisco!
Good luck to all.
Jamis, I don't think most of the Chairman/CEO splitting discourse (or the reservations in taking this step) is addressing start-ups or is really very applicable to QMC. At this stage in the company development I think this move is is a clear sign of:
1) strategic thinking and team thinking in place- with a high level of internal trust and very careful divisions of labor.
2) A global plan unfolding that will be be particularly demanding of SS's time and attention. It is vital that he effectively delegate authority (as indicated by this move)
3) the quality of board appts, and recent hires.. again key indicators that #1 above is in place.
I hope I'm correct while reading from afar along with everyone else. I'm excited about 2016 unfolding. We are hearing some very confident CEO/company speak.
Exterminator, nice post. Details, insights, overview. Thanks
Jamis, I'm happy to scoop up some $.11 shares today. And to let 2016-17 unfold. Thanks for your posts.
Good luck to all,
Thank you for sharing your thoughtful line of questions from the SH meeting. Welcome to this board and to an apparently transformational year for QMC.
Thanks J45 for your analysis of this manipulation. Also, in a more general sense for your commitment and skill in "setting the record straight"
