Graphene & Solar (GSTX) logs quarterly loss, heavy debt and dilution risk
Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited reported another loss-making quarter with no revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Operating expenses were $759,871, down from $965,764 a year earlier, leading to a net loss of $862,697.
The company ended the quarter with just $78,842 in cash and a working capital deficit of $4,610,133, as current liabilities reached $4,700,487. Management again raised substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is relying on new debt and equity financing, including related-party funding.
Debt consists largely of high-interest notes and convertible notes, many held by related parties, and shareholders face ongoing dilution from stock-based compensation, debt conversions, and share-based consulting fees. As of April 8, 2026, the company had 676,194,059 common shares outstanding, with authorization increased to 1.5 billion shares.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Going concern uncertainty: cumulative losses of $75,179,116 as of December 31, 2025, minimal cash, and dependence on new financing raise substantial doubt about continuing operations.
- Severe leverage and deficit: total liabilities of $4,746,543 versus $323,798 in assets and a stockholders’ deficit of $4,422,745 indicate a highly strained balance sheet.
- Heavy dilution risk: 676,194,059 shares outstanding as of April 8, 2026, a 1.5 billion authorized share cap, and large pending share issuances to executives, consultants, and lenders.
- Internal control weaknesses: management reports material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, including inadequate segregation of duties and insufficient accounting expertise.
- Related-party dependence: significant related-party debt, management service fees, and insider convertible notes concentrate financial exposure with insiders and affiliates.
Insights
GSTX remains pre-revenue, highly leveraged and dependent on continual external funding.
Graphene & Solar Technologies generated no revenue in the quarter and recorded a net loss of $862,697. Operating expenses fell versus the prior year but remain substantial at $759,871 without offsetting income. The business is still in development, focused on future silicon wafer production rather than current sales.
Liquidity is very tight: cash was only $78,842 against current liabilities of $4,700,487, creating a working capital deficit of $4,610,133. Management explicitly states that recurring losses and funding uncertainty raise doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The company is pursuing debt and equity financing and potential joint ventures, but no binding agreements are disclosed.
Shareholder dilution risk is significant. Additional paid-in capital rose to $69,971,613 and stock payable increased to $1,509,631, reflecting large pending share issuances to executives, consultants, and lenders. Authorized share capital was raised to 1,500,000,000 shares, and shares outstanding were 676,194,059 as of April 8, 2026, with many more shares approved but unissued.
Debt-heavy capital structure, related-party notes, and going concern language signal elevated credit risk.
Total liabilities were $4,746,543 versus total assets of only $323,798, leaving a stockholders’ deficit of $4,422,745. Current liabilities include accounts payable, related-party balances, and multiple notes payable, some in default, plus convertible notes both to third parties and insiders.
Convertible notes carry interest rates around 10% and often include share grants and discounts, increasing both financing cost and dilution. Several related-party notes have been repeatedly extended, with maturity pushed into 2026–2027 and compensated via additional share issuances, underscoring reliance on insiders for funding.
Management acknowledges material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting—such as inadequate segregation of duties and insufficient accounting expertise—as of September 30, 2025. Combined with the going concern uncertainty and heavy use of complex, equity-linked debt, this creates a fragile credit profile that depends on continued support from creditors and related parties.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
These consolidated financial statements of Graphene & Solar Technologies Limited (GSTX or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read along with Graphene & Solar’s audited financial statements as of September 30, 2025.
Going Concern
– The Company has incurred cumulative net losses since inception of $
Future issuances of the Company’s equity or debt securities will be required for the Company to finance operations and continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
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 and its subsidiaries. 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 can be found in the Company’s Annual Report in form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2025.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
Significant estimates include but are not limited to the estimated useful lives of equipment for purposes of depreciation and the valuation of common shares issued for services, equipment, and the liquidation of liabilities.
Cash and Cash
Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or
other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date
of such investments. As of December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025, the Company had $

Stock-Based Compensation - ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee and non-employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees and non-employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values on the grant date. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

Foreign Currency Translations – The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiary is primarily the respective local currency. Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. Dollars at the year-end exchange rate, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. All other foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other (income) expense, net.
Other comprehensive
income loss was $
Accumulated other
comprehensive income was $
Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share were not calculated as such potential shares would be anti-dilutive.
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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not believe that any recently issued but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Effective for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 2023-07, “Segment Reporting” (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. See Segment Reporting.
Segment Reporting
Effective as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 2023-07, “Segment Reporting” (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and are evaluated regularly by management, namely the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as the CODM.
7
The CODM evaluates the Company’s financial results and allocates resources on a consolidated basis. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that it operates as a single operating and reportable segment.
Although the Company has identified geographic regions for purposes of internal review and future revenue analysis, the Company and its subsidiaries have not generated any revenues to date. Accordingly, no geographic revenue information has been presented for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
The Company’s assets are located in multiple jurisdictions and are managed on a consolidated basis. Because the Company operates as a single operating unit and has not generated revenues to date, management believes that presenting additional geographic asset information would not be meaningful. The Company will reassess its segment and geographic reporting disclosures as operations expand and revenues are generated.
In accordance with ASC 280, the Company provides the following segment information:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND PLAN OF OPERATION
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-Q.
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 Quarterly 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.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information contained in this Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including among other things, statements regarding our capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statement which does not contain a historical fact may be deemed to be a forward-looking statement. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. In evaluating forward looking statements, you should consider various factors outlined in our Form 10-K report for the year ended September 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, from time to time, in other reports we file with the SEC. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update these statements or disclose any difference between our actual results and those reflected in these statements.
Overview
The Company acquired Solar Quartz Technologies Limited, a New Zealand corporation with substantial mineral resource and technical engineering assets, in July 2017. Since that time the Company has been engaged in developing several projects in the renewable energy sector, clean water and advanced materials. At present the focus of the Company is on Silicon Wafer manufacturing for the solar photovoltaic manufacturing sector. However, substantial efforts are underway to secure funding, and we believe that funding for the Company is imminent in the near future, although no assurance can be made as to the amount of funds, if any, or the terms thereof.
Current Business and Operation
The company has a focus and strategy to supply silicon wafers for the photovoltaic manufacturing sector. This leverages the existing company operations and planned production of upstream supply chain components (quartz sand, crucibles, silicon and polysilicon). The company is exploring partnerships with established incumbent manufacturers to reshore silicon wafer and solar photovoltaic cell production to the USA, Australia and Europe.
In 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of Ausquartz Group Holdings Pty Ltd, a company associated with our CEO, Jason May. Ausquartz specializes in the processing of high-purity quartz, a key upstream material for solar manufacturing. This acquisition was undertaken to secure strategic control over a critical raw material input—high-purity quartz—and to support the Company's vertical integration strategy. The transaction aligns with our broader business plan to develop a secure, domestic supply chain for silicon wafer manufacturing.
To further this strategy, in 2024, we established a wholly owned subsidiary, The Quartz & Silicon Materials Company Limited (“QSM”), to lead the development of integrated solar manufacturing projects. These include early-stage planning and permitting for:
18
| · | A 10GW silicon wafer manufacturing facility in the U.S. |
| · | A 10GW wafer facility in Australia. |
| · | A 60,000 metric ton chemical-grade silicon smelter and a 30,000 metric ton solar-grade polysilicon plant, both in New Zealand. |
| · | Acquisition and development of quartz resources in Australia, Brazil, the U.S., Canada, and Europe. |
Funding and Business Outlook
- The Company is currently engaged in advanced discussions with multiple large incumbent manufacturers regarding potential joint ventures and offtake agreements related to silicon ingot, wafer, and cell manufacturing.
- We are actively pursuing a combination of equity and debt financing, as well as governmental support under the U.S. One Big Beautiful Bill Act and Australia’s Made in Australia initiatives. While these discussions are ongoing, no binding agreements have been executed as of the date of this filing.
- The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025 has helped clarify the U.S. policy landscape, preserving critical incentives such as the Section 45 manufacturing production credit. This legislative clarity supports our confidence in pursuing domestic solar manufacturing projects.
- QSM’s business model is based on proven technologies with minimal R&D risk; the Company does not intend to develop new technology but rather to manufacture established silicon wafer products at scale. This lowers the technical and commercialization risks typically associated with early-stage manufacturing ventures.
Status of Commercial Product Development
- While the Company has not generated revenues in fiscal years 2024 or 2025, it made significant progress in engineering, planning, and permitting activities.
- The Company’s commercial product is standard silicon wafers used in the solar supply chain. These wafers are not subject to additional R&D prior to production. The remaining requirements are infrastructure development, equipment procurement, and commissioning.
- We anticipate initial sample production to begin following completion of financing and facility construction phases.
The Company is actively recruiting new members of the management team to assist with implementing its strategic plan. The company is re-engaging various opportunities that it was pursuing pre-pandemic.
Currently, GSTX is primarily focused upon completing development and initial sample production of commercially viable silicon wafers and solar cells. The goal for FY 2026 is to establish initial production and begin generating revenue.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 due to the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our 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 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2025 based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2025 due to the existence of the material weaknesses identified below:
- Inadequate segregation of duties in the financial reporting process;
- Lack of sufficient personnel with appropriate accounting expertise;
- Ineffective controls over the review of journal entries and account reconciliations;
- Insufficient controls over the completeness and accuracy of disclosures.
These material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements or disclosures that may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Disclosure of Fraud
In connection with the certifications required under Rules 15d-14(a) and 15d-14(b) of the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have disclosed to our auditors, the audit committee of our board of directors, and in this report, any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As of the date of this filing, management is not aware of any such instances of fraud that occurred during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025.
Remediation Efforts
We are in the process of designing and implementing measures to remediate the material weaknesses described above. These measures include, but are not limited to:
- Hiring additional accounting personnel with relevant expertise;
- Implementing enhanced review procedures and formalized documentation controls;
- Establishing more robust segregation of duties within the finance and accounting functions;
- Providing additional training and resources to employees involved in financial reporting.
Management is committed to remediating the identified material weaknesses as quickly and effectively as possible. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and will disclose any changes in future filings.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Other than the remediation efforts described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
