FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report and other written and oral statements that we make from time to time contain such forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions regarding future events or performance. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “will” and similar expressions in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance or results of current and anticipated sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies, such as legal proceedings, and financial results. Factors that could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially are discussed in greater detail under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this annual report on Form 10-K.

 

We caution that the factors described herein and other factors could cause our actual results of operations and financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements we make and that investors should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 

PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

HPQS is an essential primary material for the manufacture of: Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels; Semiconductors; all High-end Electronic products; Fiber Optical cables; Halogen Lamps; HD and LCD television screens; and Epoxy Mounding Compounds (EMC).

 

We are currently seeking capital to build a Stage One pre-processing plant to upgrade the HPQ to be salable as feedstock for numerous high-tech applications. We plan to build that plant in Townsville, Queensland, Australia, near the mine site, and a major port city where the upgraded product can easily be shipped to any user in the world. The current estimated cost of the facility, plus operating capital, is approximately $10 million to both build and equip. Upon completion, that facility will be able to upgrade the raw quartz to a High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS) purity level that meets significant world-wide demand for use in the manufacture of PV Solar Panels, Semiconductors and all high-end electronics.

 

Following the establishment of the pre-processing plant, we plan to build a further upgrading (Stage Two) facility to upgrade the feedstock SQS from the pre-processing facility to HPQS, the highest quality quartz sand necessary for the manufacture of PV solar panels and high-end electronics, fiber optics, semiconductors and microchips. That facility will cost an additional $28 million to construct and to equip with necessary equipment including a “clean room” and commercial scale processing equipment. HPQS is an essential material for this process and the essential solar crucibles, as it shares the same element (Si “silicon”) and is almost non-reactive, assuring high quality silicon ingots. Apart from this, High Purity Quartz (HPQ) also finds primary applications in advanced lighting, telecom, optic and microelectronics industries. HPQS Powers are required for epoxy molding compound (EMC) used in manufacture of most semiconductors, and the fast-growing auto electronics sector.

 

Active discussions with potential end user investor partners who can provide the funding for both facilities are ongoing.

 

On October 6, 2018 Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation) signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Nanographene, Inc., a New York based graphene manufacturer and applications developer. The Joint Venture will research, evaluate and develop new combination materials of graphene and silicon-based materials and applications not presently in existence.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is not restricted from paying any dividends but is not obligated to declare a dividend. No cash dividends have ever been declared and it is not anticipated that cash dividends will ever be paid.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The provisions in the Articles of Incorporation relating to the preferred stock allow our directors to issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders, generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management.

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately 295 shareholders of record.

 

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance future growth. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors the board of directors considers relevant.

 

On August 13, 2018 the Company entered into a convertible note payable with a third party for the amount of $63,000, the note bears interest of 12% and is due May 30, 2019. Conversion price will be 55% of the lowest trading price during the 20 days prior to the latest trading day prior to conversion date. The Company evaluated the accounting for the imbedded derivative liability included in this note. The Company recorded the amortization of the discount and accrued interest due as of September 30, 2018. The amortization was $497 and the accrued interest was $994.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes, and other financial information included in this Form 10-K. Our Management's Discussion and Analysis contains not only statements that are historical facts, but also statements that are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are, by their very nature, uncertain and risky. Although the forward-looking statements in this Report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.

 

Overview

 

As a result of the sale of Vanguard’s (VNGE) oil and gas properties in June of 2014, as discussed in Item 1 of this report, we no longer had any oil and gas assets or related operations during the periods reported through June 30, 2017, resulting in no revenue or revenue related expenses. Further, in spite of the significant acquisition on July 1, 2017, the asset has not yet begun to be exploited, thus we continued through the end of the period reported to have no revenue or revenue related expenses.

 

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 23,025 common shares in satisfaction of $76,190 of convertible debt resulting in $76,190 in gain on debt extinguishment.

 

New Business Activities

 

With the acquisition of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited we now own mining exploration and development rights to significant deposits of High Purity Quartz. The reserves are adequate to provide the Company with adequate resources for 25-30 years of production. See Item 1 Business for greater details.

 

We are currently actively securing interim working capital in order to complete mining plans and build a pre-processing plant in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia, build upon our already significant management team and market HPQ and HPQS to established markets which our management team have had prior relationships. These organizational efforts will also include securing significant new capital for the acquisition of a site and the building of the pre-processing plant. Upon completion, that plant will enable the Company to upgrade its newly mined HPQS to a higher level of purity (HPQS) that has a significant world-wide demand for use in the production of advanced PV solar Panels and all high-end electronics, lighting, telecom, optic and microelectronics. Failure to secure these financings will have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company also changed its name to Graphene Solar Technologies Limited with the Secretary of State of Colorado. An amendment was at the same time was filed with FINRA with the name change and also to trade using the symbol GSTX. As of fiscal year end this request has not been approved.

 

On October 2018 the Company signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Nanographene, Inc. The Joint Venture will explore new products using this new material, graphene with silicon-based materials. Graphene is a 2D allotrope made from graphite/carbon atoms which has allowed the development of new products. Laboratory experiments have applied graphene to various existing product, such as, solar panels, integrated circuits, semiconductors, and others.

Results of Operations

 

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2018 we generated no revenues, and thus no cost of sales or gross profits.

 

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2018, we incurred $142,834 and $2,013,444 respectively in operating expenses. This represents a 1,410% increase year over year. The operating expense increases are due primarily to employment of contracting professional services in the development of markets, financing, legal fees, etc. and other general and administrative expenses.

 

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 we recorded expenses of $17,488. In September 30, 2018 a debt and a receivable were forgiven by a related party which result in a net $391,865 credit to paid in capital.146. Other expenses were accrued interest on notes payable and short-term loans for total expenses of $20,853. There was Other Comprehensive income of $92,046.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2017 we reported net loss before taxes of $160,322 while in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, we reported a net loss before taxes of $2,054,086. Since there were no tax obligations in either year, net loss in each year was the same as that reported before taxes.

 

For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2018, our cash decreased from $10,738 to $6,704, all cash is attributable to loans to the company from affiliated and non-affiliated parties plus a private placement of shares to meet expenses. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 we reported $418,755 due to affiliated parties that was an obligation on the books of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited upon its acquisition. This loan was canceled as part of the issuance of shares to the affiliate. The Company also was able to write off a small receivable of $26,890 from this same affiliate as part of the issuance providing a net credit to paid in capital $391,865. Other receivables reported in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 were extinguished during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018.

 

As of September 30, 2017, we had total current liabilities of $1,009,674 while as of September 30, 2018, we had total current liabilities of $904,266, a decrease of approximately 16%. The decrease in current liabilities was primarily the extinguishment of the $418,755 attributable to Solar Quartz Technologies Limited. This debt was extinguished upon the issuance of shares in Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation). Accounts Payable increased to $588,892 from $364,009 from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018, an increase of 162%, of which $418,826 was attributable to Solar Quartz Technologies Limited. Of the amount in Accounts Payable in Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation) approximately $315,000 was compensation payables to officers of the Company. Accrued interest payable increased from $45,060 to $55,673, all attributable to interest accruals on convertible notes payable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2018, we had $9,207 in total current assets and $904,266 in total current liabilities. Accordingly, we had a working capital deficit of $895,059.

 

Operating activities used $1,743,579 in cash for the year ended September 30, 2018, as compared with $120,822 for the year ended September 30, 2017, representing an increase of 1425% year over year. Our increase in cash used in operating activities was due to increased professional and contract labor costs as a result of the combination of the companies. The increases were attributable to the operating loss of $2,054,086 for the year ended September 30, 2018 as compared to net loss of $160,323 in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.

 

Cash from financing activities in the year ended September 30, 2018; included increases in short term loans of $68,000 and increase in Additional Paid In Capital of $2,084,151 compared to $73,157 due to affiliates in the year ended September 30, 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and New Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company’s critical accounting policies are as described below

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation— the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation) and its subsidiary, Solar Quartz Technologies Limited. Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of September 30, 2018 and 2017. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company's fiscal year-end is September 30. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Debt Issuance Costs—Costs incurred in connection short term note with the Power Up Lending was a discount of $3,000 which is to be amortized over the term of the note and netted against the related debt. .

 

Conversion Feature Liability —The Power Up Lending note has a contingent liability which could be converted into equity at a date commencing 170 day from the date of the Note (August 13, 2018). This conversion feature liability is based on the price of the average price of the shares 20 days prior to the conversion. Since the conversion feature does not come into effect until 170 days after the dae of the Note, separation of the contingent liability was not recorded in the books.

 

Stock-Based Compensation—the Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the fair value method. The fair value attributable to stock options is calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is amortized to expense over the service period which is equivalent to the time required to vest the stock options.

 

Income Taxes—Income taxes are provided based on the liability method for financial reporting purposes. Under this method 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 are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company is required to file federal income tax returns in the United States and in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company's tax returns filed since inception are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates in accordance with the normal statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction.

 

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common and potential shares.

 

Business Combinations – The Company follows the provisions of ASC 805 in accounting for business combinations. Acquisitions under common control are accounted for using the carryover basis of any assets from the acquired company.

 

Reclassifications – Certain amounts previously presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss, working capital or equity previously reported.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Various accounting standards updates have been recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or were applicable to specific industries. No new accounting pronouncements have been issued that are likely to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Fair Value Measurements—the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt was determined by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The Company calculated that the estimated fair value of the long-term debt is not significantly different than the carrying value of the debt. The participation liability associated with outstanding long-term debt was determined by utilizing a present value factor of 10 applied to proved, developed reserves associated with the wells drilled with the proceeds of the notes.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are classified for disclosure purposes according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based upon the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair-value-measurement hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

· Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

· Level 2—Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

 

 

· Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, the Company incorporates transaction-specific details that, in management's judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. The Company utilizes the most observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement of both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are characterized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

("the Company") as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended September 30, 2018, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the period ended September 30, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Matter of Emphasis

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GRAPHENE & SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

(FORMERLY SOLAR QUARTZ TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

We were incorporated in Colorado on June 21, 2010 as Vanguard Energy Corporation (Vanguard) (currently known as Graphene & Solar Technologies, Limited) and until June 2014 were involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties in southeast Texas. We were never able to earn a profit and in January of 2013 we began investigating the possibility of selling our oil and gas properties.  The sale of our oil and gas properties represented the sale of substantially all our assets in June of 2014.

 

The following history of events describes how the current entity Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technology Corporation) acquired its subsidiary Solar Quartz Technologies Limited (SQTNZ) and all entities described below other than Vanguard were entities under common control.

 

On June 20, 2016, SQTNZ agreed to acquire Solar Quartz Technologies Pte. Ltd., A Singapore Corporation, (SQTSG) in a transfer of shares or a swap for 122 shares (100%). SQTSG (formerly known as Auzsolar Pte. Ltd.) held ownership of quartz mineral rights.

 

On October 1, 2016, Australian Oil and Gas Holdings, Inc., our parent company, (AOGH), (formerly known as Anasazi Energy Corporation (ANSZ) and subsequently known as Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (SQTI)), entered into a Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement and acquired Solar Quartz Technologies Limited., a New Zealand Corporation, (SQTNZ). AOGH issued 201,182,000 shares (95%) in exchange for 100% of SQTNZ shares outstanding.

 

On July 1, 2017, Vanguard acquired SQTNZ from SQTI in a share exchange wherein Vanguard issued 213,402,755 new shares of common stock to SQTI in exchange for 122 (100%) of the common shares of SQTNZ. The assets acquired in this exchange were reflected in our financial statements at SQTI’s historical cost basis of $30,000 as it was considered an acquisition of assets from entities under common control. The issuance of these shares was equivalent to 95% of the Company's shares issued, as we committed to issue an additional 10,021,224 shares to those holders of our common stock immediately prior to the acquisition. These actions resulted in a total of 224,426,229 shares outstanding.

 

SQTNZ is a corporation that has no prior business activity other than being the title owner of the exclusive mining and development rights for two High Purity Quartz (HPQ) deposits known as Quartz Hill (represented by leases ML 30235, ML 30236 and ML 30237) and White Springs (represented by leases ML 30238 and ML 30239) located in North Queensland, Australia.

 

HPQS is an essential primary material for the manufacture of: Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels; Semiconductors; all High-end Electronic products; Fiber Optical cables; Halogen Lamps; HD and LCD television screens; and Epoxy Mounding Compounds (EMC).

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation— the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation) and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.

 

 
F-6
 
Table of Contents

 

GRAPHENE & SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

(FORMERLY SOLAR QUARTZ TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION)

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Debt Issuance Costs - Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of short-term debt are amortized over the term of the related debt and netted against the liability.

 

Conversion Feature Liability- the Note payable issued to Power Up Lending has a contingent liability which will become effective 170 days from the date of the loan (August 13, 2018). The conversion option may be exercised after 170 days at a market price based on the average 20 days from the date of the conversion. The contingent liability was not record as this conversion feature was not in effect on September 30, 2018, the end of the fiscal year.

 

Stock-Based Compensation - the Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation using the fair value method. The fair value attributable to stock options is calculated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is amortized to expense over the service period which is equivalent to the time required to vest the stock options.

 

Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided based on the liability method for financial reporting purposes. Under this method 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 are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

 

The Company is required to file federal income tax returns in the United States and in various state and local jurisdictions. The Company's tax returns filed since inception are subject to examination by taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates in accordance with the normal statutes of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction.

 

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common and potential shares.

 

Business Combinations - The Company follows the provisions of ASC 805 in accounting for business combinations. Acquisitions under common control are accounted for using the carryover basis of any assets from the acquired company.

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts previously presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net loss, working capital or equity previously reported.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Various accounting standards updates have been recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or were applicable to specific industries. Recently accounting pronouncements have been issued that are likely to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These include accounting standards as they apply to leases. The Company will treat its development of mineral rights under standards for operating leases commonly applied in mineral extraction industries.

GRAPHENE & SOLAR TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Fair Value Measurements - The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt was determined by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The Company calculated that the estimated fair value of the long-term debt is not significantly different than the carrying value of the debt.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are classified for disclosure purposes according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based upon the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair-value-measurement hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

· Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

· Level 2—Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

 

 

· Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.
 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, the Company incorporates transaction-specific details that, in management's judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. The Company utilizes the most observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement of both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are characterized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The sale of the Company’s oil and gas properties raised substantial doubt of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company also has an accumulated deficit at this point and has experienced net losses for the most part throughout its history. The Company will need additional financing to continue its operations over the next twelve months, and while management believes it will secure such financing, there can be no guarantee that it will occur.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate.

 

NOTE 4 – REORGANIZATION

 

On July 1, 2017, the Company acquired all of the shares of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand (“SQTNZ”) and has recorded it as reorganization of entities under common control. These shares were purchased from Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (“SQTI”). We subsequently changed our name to Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (formerly known as Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation) in Colorado and have applied FINRA for the name changed and to trade under the symbol “GSTX”. We have not been cleared by FINRA to use the new trading symbol GQTX. During July 2017 the Company issued 213,402,755 new shares of common stock to SQTI in exchange for 122 (100%) of the common shares of SQTNZ. The cost of this acquisition was recorded at $30,000. The difference between the consideration and the equity of the acquired entity was charged to additional paid-in capital. The issuance of these shares was equivalent to 95% of the Company's shares issued, as we committed to issue an additional 10,021,224 shares to those holders of our common stock immediately prior to the acquisition. These actions resulted in a total of 224,426,229 shares outstanding. The Company does not anticipate any further reorganization of its common stock. We plan to apply to trade on the more senior OTCQX exchange or NASDAQ. The mineral rights owned by SQTNZ were acquired from Solar Quartz Technologies Pte., formerly known as Auzsolar Pte Ltd, a Singapore corporation, all companies under common control.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

On January 10, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which authorizes the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of Company common stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plan. The Company's employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted options pursuant to the Plan, provided however, that bona fide services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors, and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. In fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, 8,200,000 were issued to management for services provided.

 

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Office Lease –   The Company leases a virtual office lease in Beverly Hills, California until June 30, 2019 at $149 per month.

 

The Power Up convertible note referred to in Note 9 includes a conversion feature which only goes into effect upon default wherein the note can be converted into share of common stock at 55% of the average market value 20 days preceding the conversion date. This conversion feature represents a contingent liability as of September 30, 2018. As of the date these financial statements were available to be issued January 18, 2019. Because the Form 10Q will be filed late, this note is probably in default although the lender has not notified the Company of an event of default.

 

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

The Company’s material future contractual obligations by fiscal year as of September 30, 2018 were as follows:

The notes payable bear interest at 10% and are due on demand. The convertible notes bear interest at 15% and are also due on demand. The principal and accrued interest of these notes can be converted at the discretion of the holders into common shares at $3.31/share.  The Power Up loan bears interest at 12% and has the option of converting the debt into shares 170 days after the date of the note at 55% of the average market value 20 days preceding the conversion date. On December 31, 2018 the market share price was $.18.

 

The Company has contractual capital commitments outstanding in the principal balance of $70,474 at September 30, 2017.  Accrued interest of $55,672 is due in addition to the principal balance of the Convertible notes.

 

NOTE 10 – RELATED PARTY

 

As of September 30, 2017, the amount due from affiliates was $26,890 and due to affiliates was $418,755. The entire amount was taken over from SQTNZ which essentially came from shareholders of Australian Oil and Gas Holdings Inc. During the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 Australian Oil and Gas Holdings, Inc. forgave the debt and receivable producing a net gain to the Company of $391,785. In July, 2017 SQTNZ entered into an agreement with PGRNZ to provide services to SQTNZ at the rate of A$75,000 per quarter for a period of 36 months with provision to extent for an additional 12 month. In July 2016 SQTL entered into an agreement with Global Digital Solutions PTY LTD to provide services to SQTL at a rate of $13,500 per month for a period of 12 months to be renewed annually, current amendment commencing January 1, 2018.

NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through January 18, 2019, the date these financial statements were available to be released. The only event requiring disclosure is the continent liability associated with the default of the Power Up note reference in Note 8. The fact that the conversion option available in the event of default is at 55% of the average market value 20 days preceding the conversion date, this represent an embedded derivative. The Company has not evaluated the effect of accounting for this liability at fair market value as of January 18, 2019, the date these financial statements were available for issuance.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Warren Dillard, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework (1992). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls. Mr. Dillard resigned his position as Principal Executive on June 30, 2018 and his position as Financial Officer on November 6, 2018. Mr. Roger May assumed the duties of interim Principal Executive on July 1, 2018 and Mr. Frank G Herrera was named interim Chief Financial and Accounting Officer on December 7, 2018. Both Messrs. May and Herrera agreed with the evaluation made by Mr. Dillard.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Table of Contents

  

Management has been addressing the underlying causes for our weaknesses in internal control which had stem from a very shallow management team and limited resources to allocate accounting systems. An accountant/operations person was added to the staff in the fourth quarter 2018 and an accounting system was acquired at that time specifically for Solar Quartz Technologies Limited. Nearly of the financial and accounting transactions have been adding to the new accounting system. Management expects that these additions will make it easier to control procedures, to evaluate processes and allow management to make better and quicker decisions. While these new processes have been in place for only a few months, management believes that by year-end 2019, the internal control function will be effective and will meet the rules and requirement of the Security and Exchange Commission. We continue to plan to raise new capital soon and to use those resources to expand the management team to assure that the processing of data and drafting financial reports will be completed in the most timely manner in future reporting periods.
