Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

(Expressed in US Dollars)

(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)

1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Quest Water Global, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on February 25, 2010, under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is an innovative water technology company that provides solutions to water scarce regions. The Company’s operations to date have been limited primarily to capital formation, organization, and development of its business plan.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2023, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,718,686 of which $1,585,493 is owed to the two principal shareholders (Note 5), and an accumulated deficit of $11,718,375. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue to develop its business and ultimately on the attainment of profitable operations. The Company has in the past, and is expected to in the future, arrange additional capital financing that may assist in addressing these issues; however, these factors continue to raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in US dollars. These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Quest Water Solutions, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Quest Nevada”); AQUAtap Global, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming; and Quest Nevada’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Quest Water Solutions Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

(b) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods shown.

The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(c) Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is US dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.

The Company’s integrated foreign subsidiaries are financially or operationally dependent on the Company. The Company uses the temporal method to translate the accounts of its integrated operations into US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in income.

(d) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements 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.

3. Investment in and Due to Related Company  

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company invested $7,600 in AQUAtap Oasis Partnership S.A.R.L. (“AQUAtap”), a limited liability company domiciled in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and by doing so obtained 38% of the issued and outstanding shares in AQUAtap. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method. During the period ended September 30, 2023, AQUAtap incurred a loss of $29,170 (2022 - $43,592). The Company’s portion of the loss of $11,085 (2022 - $16,565) has been recorded as an expense and has reduced the equity of the investment.

The due to related company amounts pertain to funds received on behalf of AQUAtap relating to rights agreements for water units. As at September 30, 2023, a balance of $42,303 was owing to AQUAtap.

6. Common Shares

On July 21, 2022, the authorized capital of the Company was increased from 95,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares of common stock with the par value of $0.000001.

On July 22, 2022, the Company converted an aggregate of $3,038,000 in debt owed to the President and Vice-President of the Company into 46,738,460 shares of common stock at a price of $0.065 per share.

Basic and diluted loss per share

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was based on the loss attributable to common shareholders of $445,023 (September 30, 2022 – $1,243,218) and a weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 131,903,029 (September 30, 2022 – 97,148,790).

At September 30, 2023, there were 6,300,000 stock options that were excluded from the diluted weighted average number of common shares calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

7. Share Based Payments

Stock Options

The Company adopted a stock option plan in May 2012 (the “Plan”) under which it is authorized to grant options to directors, officers, employees and consultants enabling them to acquire up to a maximum of 10% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company. The options can be granted for a maximum term of 10 years and vest as determined by the board of directors.

Stock option transactions are summarized as follows:

Summary of Stock Option Transactions 

The options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2023 were granted effective July 20, 2022 and have a 5 year period during which they may be exercised. They have an exercise price of $0.10 per share and have a remaining life of 3.79 years.

8. Operating Segment

The Company has only one operating segment, that being the construction and distribution of water equipment that provides drinking water to areas of the world where water and/or infrastructure is scarce. Currently the only customer is a related company in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

9. Subsequent Event

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, the Company entered into a partnership with Yonga Industries (Pty) Ltd., Yorown Energy (Pty) Ltd. and Kalo Products to form AQUAtap Oasis South Africa (PTY) Ltd.

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our” and the “Company” mean Quest Water Global, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

This quarterly report includes our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended September 30, 2023. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”). All financial information in this quarterly report is presented in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in this quarterly report.

As disclosed in our current report on Form 8-K dated January 10, 2012, on January 6, 2012, we completed a share exchange with Quest Water Solutions, Inc. (“Quest NV”), a Nevada corporation that is now our wholly owned subsidiary and operating business (the “Share Exchange”). The Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization effected through a share exchange, with Quest NV as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the accounting acquiree. Our consolidated financial statements are therefore, in substance, those of Quest NV.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report, any supplement to this quarterly report, and any documents incorporated by reference in this quarterly report, include “forward-looking statements”. To the extent that the information presented in this quarterly report discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our business plans, results of operations, products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “expects”, “plans” and “proposes”. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report, as well as the “Presentation of Information” section that appears at the beginning of this quarterly report.

Overview

We are an innovative water technology company that provides sustainable and environmentally sound solutions to water-scarce regions. We use proven technologies to create economically viable products that address the critical shortage of clean drinking water in both domestic and foreign emerging markets.

Our goal is to address the vital issue of water quality and water supply by providing an alternative, sustainable source of pure water at the smallest possible environmental cost to global areas in need, while becoming a leading company in providing decentralized, turn-key solutions using alternative energy for the purification, desalination and distribution of clean drinking water.

We focus on the manufacture and sale of two products: our AQUAtap^TM Community Water Purification and Distribution system and our WEPS^TM (atmospheric Water Extraction and Purification System). Our AQUAtap^TM system is an autonomous, decentralized, self-contained, solar-powered water purification and distribution system, while our WEPS^TM is a unique, proprietary water extraction and purification system that produces clean drinking water from humidity in the atmosphere.

To date, we have focused our activities on the formation of safe water partnerships and the sale and installation of our products, with emphasis on our AQUAtap^TM Community Water Purification & Distribution systems throughout North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, with specific attention to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”) and Angola.

Corporate History and Background

We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware on February 25, 2010. Prior to the Share Exchange, we had minimal revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization and development of our business plan. As a result of the Share Exchange, we ceased our prior operations and, through Quest NV, we now operate as an innovative water technology company that provides sustainable and environmentally sound solutions to water-scarce regions.

Quest NV was incorporated under the laws of Nevada on October 20, 2008 and commenced operations on February 20, 2009. Its operations to date have consisted of business formation, strategic development, marketing, technologies development, negotiations with technologies companies and capital raising activities. Quest NV has not generated any revenues since its inception.

Acquisition of Quest NV

On January 6, 2012, we completed the Share Exchange whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Quest NV in exchange for 2,568,493 shares of our common stock (on a pre-forward split basis), or approximately 62.74% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of the consummation of the Share Exchange. Subsequent to the Share Exchange, we completed a 20 for 1 forward split of our common stock (the “Forward Split”) that became effective on March 1, 2012. Pursuant to the Forward Split, the 2,568,493 shares described above increased to 51,369,860 shares.

As a result of the Share Exchange, Quest NV became our wholly owned subsidiary, John Balanko and Peter Miele became our directors, officers and principal stockholders, and we assumed the business and operations of Quest NV. The Share Exchange was treated as a recapitalization effected through a share exchange, with Quest NV as the accounting acquirer and the Company as the accounting acquiree.

AQUAtap Global

In July 2021, we incorporated a new operating subsidiary, AQUAtap Global, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“AQUAtap”). Through this entity, we expect to coordinate, facilitate and manage our current, planned and future safe water partnerships throughout Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean that provide clean water initiatives for underserved communities. AQUAtap, together with its strategic global partners, plans to establish subordinate partnerships in various countries and engage experienced local individuals and organizations for operational expertise. We anticipate that this will enable the subordinate partnerships to enter into public-private partnerships (commonly known as PPPs) with NGOs, strategic investors and various levels of government.

Quest Water Solutions Inc., a British Columbia, Canada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Quest NV (“Quest BC”), will remain as the technology provider to our safe water initiatives. Quest BC is responsible for designing, engineering and manufacturing our range of products, and it also sells these water technology products directly to end users through our corporate sales & marketing divisions and through global distributors and agents.

Results of Operations

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. We anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and our ability to generate any revenues in the next 12 months continues to be uncertain.

Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $140,498 in total expenses, including $123,750 in management fees, $5,514 in rent, 3,574 in transfer agent and filing fees, $3,209 in professional fees, $$2,212 in automotive expenses, $1,290 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $824 in telephone expenses and $125 in depreciation. During the same period in the prior year, we incurred $939,297 in total expenses, including $801,102 in stock-based compensation, $112,500 in management fees, $12,291 in professional fees, $5,470 in rent, $4,120 in transfer agent and filing fees, $2,417 in automotive expenses, $762 in telephone expenses and $5 in office and miscellaneous expenses. Except for the significant stock-based compensation expense we incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which was entirely attributable to the granting of an aggregate of 8,500,000 options, substantially all of which vested during the quarter, our expenses were relatively consistent between the two periods.

Other Income

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced a $2,332 decrease in the equity of our investment in the AQUAtap™ Oasis Partnership SARL, a collaborative partnership that Quest NV entered into in 2019 for the purpose of commencing a profitable safe water initiative in the DRC. The equity of that investment decreased by $8,849 during the same period in the prior year.

Net Loss

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $142,830, whereas we incurred a net loss of $948,146 during the same period in the prior year. The decrease was substantially attributable to the decrease in our stock-based compensation expense from period-to-period as described above. Our net loss per share during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.001 and $0.008, respectively.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Revenue

We did not generate any revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022. As described above, we anticipate that we will incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and our ability to generate any revenues in the next 12 months continues to be uncertain.

Expenses

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $433,938 in total expenses, including $371,250 in management fees, $16,772 in professional fees, $16,484 in rent, $14,744 in transfer agent and filing fees, $6,819 in automotive expenses, $4,933 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $2,561 in telephone expenses and $375 in depreciation. During the same period in the prior year, we incurred $1,226,653 in total expenses, including $801,102 in stock-based compensation expense, $337,500 in management fees, $40,078 in professional fees, $18,124 in transfer agent and filing fees, $16,259 in rent, $7,732 in automotive expenses, $3,256 in office and miscellaneous expenses and $2,602 in telephone expenses.

Other than the significant decrease in our stock-based compensation expense as described above, and a $33,750 increase in management fees, which was largely offset by a $23,306 decrease in professional fees, our expenses were consistent from period-to-period.

Other Income

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we experienced a $11,085 decrease in the equity of our investment in the AQUAtap™ Oasis Partnership SARL. During the same period in the prior year, we experienced a $16,565 decrease in the equity of the same investment.

Net Loss

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $445,023 and a net loss per share of $0.003, whereas we incurred a net loss of $1,243,218 and a net loss per share of $0.013 during the same period in the prior year. As described above, the decrease in our net loss between the two periods was primarily due to the significant decrease in our stock-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023 we had $42 in cash, $5,692 in total assets, $1,723,586 in total liabilities and a working capital deficiency of $1,718,686. As of that date, we also had an accumulated deficit of $11,718,375.

To date, we have experienced negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our common stock and capital contributions to fund our operations. We expect this situation to continue for the foreseeable future, and we anticipate that we will experience negative cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received $42 in net cash from operating activities, compared to $2,673 in net cash spending on operating activities during the same period in the prior year. Although we experienced a net loss in the current period as described above, it was offset by certain changes in our operating assets and liabilities, notably increases in our “accounts payable” and “due to related parties” balances.

We did not spend any net cash on investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, whereas we spent $1,500 in net cash during the same period in the prior year, all of which was attributable to equipment purchases.

We did not spend or receive any cash in respect of financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our cash increased by $42 as a result of our operating activities. As of September 30, 2023, we did not have sufficient cash resources to meet our operating expenses for the next month based on our then-current burn rate.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations over the next 12 months is to continue to address water quality and supply issues in the DRC through the installation of our AQUAtap™ Community Water Purification & Distribution systems as well as the employment of our WEPS™ technology, and we anticipate that we will require a minimum of $1,011,000 to pursue those plans.

We intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through advances from related parties as well as a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements as circumstances allow. We are presently in the process of contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements. There is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement or other financings. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options.

During the next 12 months, we estimate that our planned expenditures will include the following:

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficiency of $1,718,686 and an accumulated deficit of $11,718,375. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our creditors, our ability to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and ultimately on the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company; the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Quest Water Solutions, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada (“Quest Nevada”), and AQUAtap Global, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming; and Quest Nevada’s wholly owned subsidiary, Quest Water Solutions Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional currency is US dollars. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.

The Company’s integrated foreign subsidiaries are financially or operationally dependent on the Company. The Company uses the temporal method to translate the accounts of its integrated operations into US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, with the participation of our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.
