QUEST WATER GLOBAL, INC.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
(Expressed in US Dollars)
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, 2025, the Company has a working
capital deficiency of $
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.
The prior period presentation was updated to conform to current period presentation. There was no effect on net loss.
(b) Interim Financial Statements
These condensed consolidated 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, 2024. In the opinion of management, these condensed consolidated 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 US GAAP 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.
| F-6 |
(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) Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to, the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period.
(e) 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.

9. Operating Segment
The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management for making decisions and assessing performance of its businesses on a corporation-wide basis. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), the Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the Company’s performance and allocates resources based on consolidated operating results. At the moment, 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. The segment’s performance evaluation is based on its income. Segment income is defined as gross sales and miscellaneous income. Currently the only customer is a related company in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was no income.

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 condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at and for the period ended September 30, 2025. 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 read this quarterly report and the documents that we reference in this quarterly report and have filed as exhibits with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. 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 Community Water Purification and Distribution system and our WEPS (atmospheric Water Extraction and Purification System). Our AQUAtap system is an autonomous, decentralized, self-contained, solar-powered water purification and distribution system, while our WEPSTM 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 Community Water Purification & Distribution systems throughout North America, Bangladesh, Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, with specific attention to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the “DRC”), and South Africa.
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.
| 4 |
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 separate partnerships in each country in which it plans to operate and engage experienced local individuals and organizations for operational expertise. We anticipate that this will enable these 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, 2025

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred $291,413 in total expenses, including $153,750 in management fees, $120,311 in marketing expenses, $11,000 in professional fees, $5,341 in transfer agent and filing fees, $817 in automotive expenses and $384 in telephone expenses, as offset by a recovery of $190 in office and miscellaneous expenses. During the same period in the prior year, we incurred $137,329 in total expenses, including $123,750 in management fees, $6,076 in professional fees, $3,864 in transfer agent and filing fees, $1,921 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $859 in automotive expenses, $734 in telephone expenses and $125 in depreciation.

Net Loss
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $291,413, whereas we incurred a net loss of $137,329 during the same period in the prior year. Our net loss per share during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $0.002 and $0.001, respectively.
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Revenue
We did not generate any revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024. 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, 2025, we incurred $630,907 in total expenses, including $401,250 in management fees, $120,311 in marketing expenses, $50,000 in consulting fees, $30,489 in professional fees, $15,984 in transfer agent and filing fees, $8,584 in office and miscellaneous expenses, $2,497 in automotive expenses, $1,625 in telephone expenses and $167 in depreciation.

Except
for the significant consulting fees we incurred during the prior year, which was entirely attributable to the granting of an aggregate
of 3,750,000 options which vested during the first quarter of that year, and the increases in our marketing fees and management fees
described above, our expenses were relatively consistent between the two periods.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we incurred a net loss of $630,907 and a net loss per share of $0.005, whereas we incurred a net loss of $610,054 and a net loss per share of $0.005 during the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025 we had $9 in cash, $72,794 in total assets, $3,009,661 in total liabilities and a working capital deficiency of $3,003,593. As of that date, we also had an accumulated deficit of $13,223,903.
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, 2025.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we used $574,352 in net cash on operating activities, compared to $438,019 in net cash used on operating activities during the same period in the prior year. Although our adjusted net loss for the two periods was similar, certain changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the current period, notably the increases in the “accounts payable and related liabilities” and “due from related company” balances, meant that we spent more net cash.
We did not use any net cash on investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024.
We received $574,357 in net cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, all of which was in the form of advances from related parties. During the same period in the prior year, we received $438,028 in net cash from financing activities, all of which was also in the form of advances from related parties.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our cash increased by $5 as a result of our operating activities. As of that date, 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 WEPSTM technology, and we anticipate that we will require a minimum of $990,000 to pursue those plans.
We intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through advances from related parties as well as a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements as circumstances allow. We are presently in the process of contacting broker/dealers in Canada and elsewhere regarding possible financing arrangements. There is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement or other financings. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options.
During the next 12 months, we estimate that our planned expenditures will include the following:
| Description | Amount ($) | |||
| Equipment purchases | 250,000 | |||
| Management fees | 495,000 | |||
| Consulting fees | 120,000 | |||
| Professional fees | 50,000 | |||
| Advertising and promotion expenses | 15,000 | |||
| Travel and automotive expenses | 30,000 | |||
| Other general and administrative expenses | 30,000 | |||
| Total | 990,000 | |||

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, 2025, we had a working capital deficiency of $3,003,593 and an accumulated deficit of $13,223,903. 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

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.

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. Based upon this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to certain deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the period ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
