NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the February 29, 2020 audited financial statements and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2020 and 2019, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related footnotes included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). It is management’s opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments), have been made which are necessary for fair condensed consolidated financial statements presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended August 31, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations expected for the year ending February 28, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries FTPM Resources Ltd. and Dominion Energy Processing Group, Inc. after elimination of the intercompany accounts and transactions.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological and other risks associated with operating an emerging business, including the potential risk of business failure.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

AUGUST 31, 2020
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company's financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, promissory notes payable, and promissory notes payable - related parties. All instruments are accounted for on a cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively.
When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date.
At August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, the Company had no assets or liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets which include a deposit on land purchase for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows and reports any impairment at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of options to purchase common stock using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time stock options will be held before they are exercised (“expected life”), the estimated volatility of the Company’s common stock price over the expected term (“volatility”), forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation. Options granted have a ten-year maximum term and varying vesting periods as determined by the Board of Directors. The value of shares of common stock awards is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the award.
Related Parties
In accordance with ASC 850 “Related Party Disclosure”, a party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company; its directors, officers, and management; members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management; and other parties with which the Company may deal with if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

New Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements, including the new lease standard. The Company does not have any leases and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for the next twelve months.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. As shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020. Achievement of the Company's objectives will be dependent upon the ability to obtain additional financing, generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs. The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing, obtaining additional financing from investors, and/or lenders, and attaining additional commercial revenue. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve these objectives, therefore substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern exists.
NOTE 4 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and warrants.
The dilutive effect of outstanding securities as of May 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively, would be as follows:
August 31, 2020 |
February 29, 2020 |
|||||||
Warrants |
3,925,000 | 3,925,000 | ||||||
TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTION |
3,925,000 | 3,925,000 |
At August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 5 – OTHER ASSETS
Peconic Note Receivable
On April 17, 2019, the Company loaned funds under a secured convertible promissory note (“Peconic Note”) to Peconic Energy, Inc. (“Peconic”) for the principal amount of $30,000 with the principal balance and all accrued interest being due and payable 18 months from the date of the note. Interest shall be accrued at rate of 12% per annum or 40% of the gross revenues generated by the maker, whichever is greater. The Peconic Note is secured by 100% of the Peconic’s assets and is convertible at any time during the term of the note into 40% of the Peconic’s assets. For the period ended May 31, 2019, it was determined that it was highly unlikely that the Company would collect this note receivable. Therefore, the Company allowed for this note in the amount of $30,000 at May 31, 2019.

Deposit on land purchase
On December 5, 2016, the Company executed a Farm Contract of Purchase and Sale with a landowner in Stoughton, Saskatchewan (“the Stoughton Agreement”). The purchase price of the property is $500,000 (Canadian) subject to certain terms and conditions including approval of the purchase by the Saskatchewan Farmland Review board, the Company completing various test for hydrology and land suitability, the proposed refinery project meeting all requirements of various Saskatchewan government laws and bylaws, and full approval by all levels of provincial government and agencies. The Company paid $7,822 as a deposit on the property.
The purchase contract originally expired on December 15, 2017; however, the contract was amended to extend the closing date to July 10, 2018 for removal of all terms and conditions to the purchase.
On June 8, 2018, the Company amended the Stoughton Agreement to a purchase price of $525,000 (Canadian) and extended the option to purchase the property until December 31, 2018 for no additional consideration. The Stoughton Agreement expired on December 31, 2018.
On June 3, 2019, by mutual agreement of the parties, the Stoughton Agreement was extended until October 31, 2019 for no additional consideration. At the date of the report for the period ended May 31, 2019, the Stoughton Agreement had been terminated. (Note 13). Due to the termination of the agreement, the Company reclassed this deposit of $7,822 to accounts payable related party as the deposit was refunded but the money was given to a related party to pay amounts due him.
NOTE 6 – PROMISSORY and CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,453 and $153, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 was $2,906 and $368, respectively.
Convertible note payable consists of one note payable in the amount of $67,500 at August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively. The note which was issued in April 2019 for $45,000 accrues interest at an annual rate of 12% and matures in April 2020. In the event of default, the note principal is increased by 150% times the outstanding principal and provides for default interest at 22%. Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 was $3,713 and $3,319, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 was $7,426 and $4,219, respectively. Due to the conversation features of this note the Company calculated a derivative utilizing a Black Scholes method.

Interest expense for the three months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 was $1,614 and $4,887, respectively. Interest expense for the six months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 was $3,827 and $5,118, respectively.
Starting January 1, 2019, the Company began accruing a monthly management fee of $15,000 due to an advisory company owned by Andrew J. Kacic, the Company’s former chief executive officer (“CEO”). During the year ended February 28, 2019, the Company recognized management fees of $30,000 under this agreement which amount is included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related parties” on the consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2019. Since February 28, 2019, no additional management fees have been accrued since the parties are in dispute. There were no similar management fees due the CEO prior to December 31, 2018. Certain directors and officers of the Company dispute the management fee asserting that no consulting agreement has been executed. It is possible that the amount ultimately paid to the advisory company will be other than the accrued balance of $30,000 due to continuing negotiations between the board of directors and the former CEO. The disputed amount as of the date of these financials is $150,000, which is the remaining 10 (ten) months of the management fee for the calendar year ended 2019. Amounts due to Andrew Kacic at August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 were $17,868 and $17,868, respectively.
Certain officers and directors of the Company had paid various expenses on behalf of the Company. Balances due to the officers and directors for reimbursement of these expenses were $158,969 and $158,969 at August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020, respectively, which amounts are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related parties” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Corporate Background
Our business strategy is to develop a “state-of-the art”, energy efficient, 40,000 BPD full slate refinery in Stoughton, Saskatchewan, Canada (the “Stoughton Refinery”) to refine the light shale crude oil primarily from the Viewfield oil field of the Bakken formation in Saskatchewan, Canada. Our principal executive offices are located at 3825 Rockbottom, Henderson, Nevada. The Company’s telephone number is (702) 323-6455. Our website is www.quantum-e.com and is not part of this Quarterly Report.
Historical Operations
We were originally incorporated as Boomers Cultural Development, Inc. (“Boomers”) on February 5, 2004, in the State of Nevada to be a service-oriented firm that would integrate the cultural interests of baby boomers with destination learning, by packaging onsite personal growth, education, and entertainment seminars with a variety of vacation destinations. On May 18, 2006, our name was changed to Quantum Energy, Inc. and our business focus was changed to plans were the energy industry and in particular the oil and gas segments of the energy industry. From 2008 through 2010, we planned, when and if funding became available, to acquire high-quality oil and gas properties, primarily proven producing and proven undeveloped reserves as well as exploring low-risk development drilling and work-over opportunities with experienced, well-established operators. However, the anticipated funding opportunities did not materialize.
We currently have two subsidiaries: Dominion Energy Processing Group, Inc. (“DEPG”), a Canadian Federal business corporation, which is our 100% owned Canadian subsidiary through with we intend to develop, construct and operate the Stoughton Refinery; and FTPM Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation which is a dormant company.
Overview of Current Operations
Our current and planned operations are to develop, construct and operate a “state-of-the-art”, energy efficient, full slate oil refinery including a storage tank farm and associated facilities in Stoughton, Saskatchewan, Canada (the Stoughton Refinery”). In this regard, on August 2, 2016, we formed our Canadian subsidiary, Dominion Energy Processing Group, Inc. for purposes of the Pre-development work, construction and operation of the Stoughton Refinery. The Stoughton Refinery, when fully developed and operating, will be designed to produce up to 40,000 barrels of oil per day to be drawn from the Bakken formation in the province of Saskatchewan.
We have identified a 480-acre site in Stoughton Saskatchewan (the “Land”) on which we intend to construct the Stoughton Refinery. The Land is located in southeastern Saskatchewan in the regional municipality of Tecumseth in the heart of the Viewfield oil field area of the Bakken formation. The unconventional, marketable resources of the Bakken in the Viewfield oil field area are expected to be 74 million m³ (464 million barrels) (see “The Ultimate Potential for Unconventional Petroleum from the Bakken Formation of Saskatchewan – Energy Briefing Note” April 2015 of the National Energy Board (an independent economic regulatory agency created in 1959 by the Government of Canada,http://www.nebone.gc.ca/nrg/sttstc/crdlndptrlmprdct/rprt/2015bkkn/2015bkkn-eng.pdf). The Land is approximately 100 kilometers north of the Canadian USA border. The Land has sufficient acreage to accommodate expansion of the Stoughton Refinery facilities to included future ethanol and rail carload and unload facilities.
If the viability and suitability of the Land for the development, construction and operation of the Stoughton Refinery is validated, and provided we have the required capital, we intend to commence the process of obtaining necessary permits and approvals to develop, construct and operate the Stoughton Refinery.
Business Strategy
We have implemented several initiatives that we believe will further our business strategy to build and operate the Stoughton Refinery. The principal elements of our business strategy are:
Identify and Attract Growth Capital. In order to execute our business strategy, we will require a significant amount of financing. Any proceeds we receive from financing will be used to commence only the very early stages of this process. If we raise the maximum amount of funds necessary to complete the project, we will be able to commence the process of obtaining the studies to validate the viability and suitability of the Land for the purpose of building the Stoughton Refinery and obtain the environmental permit and purchase the Land. If the Land is determined to be viable and suitable, we will need financing, in addition to the proceeds from our Primary Offering, to do the balance of the Predevelopment Work and to purchase the Land. Also, we estimate that the Stoughton Refinery will cost approximately $600,000,000(CAD) to build and commence operations. Accordingly, we intend to seek the necessary substantial financing to for the construction of the Stoughton Refinery after completion of the Pre-development Work.
Increase Refinery Throughput. As we commence building operations for the Stoughton Refinery and the Stoughton Refinery comes online, we will seek to increase crude oil throughput. We intend to construct the Stoughton Refinery to be able to process up to approximately 40,000 barrels per day.
Location of the Stoughton Refinery reducing Logistics Costs
Because of the location of the Stoughton Refinery, we believe that the logistics costs will be reduced due to the proximity of the supply of feed stock and the consumption of our refined products by our intended customers.
Governmental Regulation
All of our contemplated operations and properties are and will be subject to extensive Canadian and U.S. federal, provincial, state and local environmental and health and safety regulations governing, among other things, the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of petroleum and hazardous substances; the emission and discharge of materials into the environment; waste management; and characteristics and composition of gasoline and diesel fuels. Our operations also require numerous permits and authorizations under various environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these permits or environmental laws generally could result in fines, penalties or other sanctions or a revocation of our permits. We will have to make significant capital and other expenditures related to environmental and health and safety compliance, including with respect to our air permits and the low-sulfur gasoline and ultra-low-sulfur diesel regulations.
Canada has adopted the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (“CEPA”) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has adopted regulations that require significant reductions in the sulfur content in gasoline and diesel fuel. These regulations required most refineries to begin reducing sulfur content in gasoline. However, we believe we may qualify for what is known as “small refiner status” under such regulations which would provide us some relief from some of such regulations. We intend to have the Stoughton Refinery designed and engineered to adhere to all required regulations of CEPA. No assurances can be given that the Stoughton Refinery we will adhere to all required regulations of CEPA.
Certain environmental laws hold current or previous owners or operators of real property liable for the costs of cleaning up spills, releases and discharges of petroleum or hazardous substances, even if these owners or operators did not know of and were not responsible for such spills, releases and discharges. These environmental laws also assess liability on any person who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, regardless of whether the affected site is owned or operated by such person.
In addition to clean-up costs, we may face liability for personal injury or property damage due to exposure to chemicals or other hazardous substances that we may have manufactured, used, handled or disposed of or that are located at or released from our refinery or otherwise related to our current or former operations. We may also face liability for personal injury, property damage, natural resource damage or for clean-up costs for the alleged migration of petroleum or hazardous substances from our refinery to adjacent and other nearby properties.

The oil and natural gas industry is extensively regulated by numerous Canadian federal, provincial, state and local authorities. Legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is under constant review for amendment or expansion, frequently increasing the regulatory burden. Also, numerous departments and agencies, both federal, provincial and state, are authorized by statute to issue rules and regulations that are binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its individual members, some of which carry substantial penalties for failure to comply. Although the regulatory burden on the oil and natural gas industry will increase our cost of doing business and, consequently, will affect our profitability, we believe that these burdens generally will not affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than they affect other companies in the industry with similar types, quantities and locations of production.
The availability, terms and cost of transportation significantly affect sales of oil and natural gas. The inter-provincial transportation and sale for resale of oil and natural gas is subject to federal and provincial regulation, including regulation of the terms, conditions and rates for interstate transportation, storage and various other matters, primarily by the Canadian National Energy Board. Canadian regulations govern the price and terms for access to oil and natural gas pipeline transportation. Regulations covering inter-provincial oil and natural gas transmission in some circumstances may also affect the intra-provincial transportation of oil and natural gas.
Although oil and natural gas prices are currently unregulated, the Canadian Parliament historically has been active in the area of oil and natural gas regulation. We cannot predict whether new legislation to regulate oil and natural gas might be proposed, what proposals, if any, might actually be enacted by the Canadian Parliament or the various provincial or state legislatures, and what effect, if any, the proposals might have on our operations. Sales of condensate, oil and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) are not currently regulated and are made at market prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
As of August 31, 2020, our assets totaled $47 which consisted of cash. The Company's total liabilities were $1,181,545, which consisted of accounts payable and accrued expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses – related parties, common stock payable, convertible note payable, derivative liability, promissory notes payable and promissory notes payable – related parties. As of August 31, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $12,679,670 and working capital deficit of $1,181,498.
The Company's significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As indicated herein, we need capital for the implementation of our business plan, and we will need additional capital for continuing our operations. We do not have sufficient revenues to pay our operating expenses at this time. Unless the Company is able to raise working capital, it is likely that the Company will either have to cease operations or substantially change its methods of operations or change its business plan. For the next 12 months the Company has an oral commitment from its CEO to advance funds as necessary to meeting our operating requirement.
Cash (Used in) Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended August 31, 2020 and 2019 were $-0- and $80,138, respectively. The decrease amount was attributed to interest expense on convertible note warrants and loss on derivative.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $-0- for the six months ended August 31, 2020, and was $80,040 for six months ended August 31, 2019, which was all due to cash received from notes payable.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2020.
Our management, with the participation of our president (our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our president (our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer) has concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information that is required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
1) |
We have an inadequate number of administrative personnel. |
2) |
We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within our accounting functions. |
3) |
We have insufficient written policies and procedures over our disclosures. |
The reason for this deficiency relates to the fact that our management is relying on external consultants for purposes of preparing our financial reporting package; however, the officers may not be able to identify errors and irregularities in the financial reporting package before its release as a continuous disclosure document.
Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our president (our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer), to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of our Company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Further, the evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting was made as of a specific date, and continued effectiveness in future periods is subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management has conducted, with the participation of our president, our principal executive officer and our principal accounting officer and principal financial officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2020 in accordance with the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control — Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of August 31, 2020, our Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on present Company activity. Our Company is in the process of adopting specific internal control mechanisms. Future controls, among other things, will include more checks and balances and communication strategies between the management and the board to ensure efficient and effective oversight over Company activities as well as more stringent accounting policies to track and update our financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above during the quarter ended August 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
