CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Except for historical information, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on our business and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating results, financial condition, and stock price. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,” “will,” “would”, “if, “shall”, “might”, “will likely result, “projects”, “goal”, “objective”, or “continues”, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Additionally, statements concerning future matters such as our business strategy, development of new products, sales levels, expense levels, cash flows, future commercial and financing matters, future partnering opportunities and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking statements.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect our good faith judgment, based on currently available information, they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we intend to operate in one or more very competitive and rapidly changing industry. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Annual Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this Annual Report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date we file this Annual Report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Annual Report.

 

CERTAIN REFERENCES AND NAMES OF OTHERS USED HEREIN

 

This Annual Report may contain additional trade names, trademarks, and service marks of others, which are the property of their respective owners. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, we do not intend our use or display other companies’ trade names, trademarks, or service marks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, these other companies.

 

PART I

 

The terms “we,” “our,” “us”, “Quantum Energy” and the “Company” refer to Quantum Energy Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context suggests otherwise.

 

ITEM 1.

Business

 

General

 

We, Quantum Energy Inc., are a Nevada corporation. 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 concentrate on the energy industry and, in particular, refining, as well as the oil and gas portions of the energy industry. We currently have two 100% owned subsidiaries: Dominion Energy Processing Group, Inc. (“DEPG”), a Canadian Federal business corporation, which is our 100% owned Canadian subsidiary and FTPM Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation.

During the period from October 2017 to April 2019, among other things: we reviewed all of the outstanding agreements and transactions that we had entered into between August 2013 and November 2017 and we began to renegotiate, rescind or settle all of those agreements that had proven not to be in our best interest or in the best interest of our stockholders. In this regard, the shares of our common stock that had been issued in connection with such cancelled transactions were returned to us and shares of our Series B Preferred Stock that had been issued were returned and cancelled.

 

From December 2016 to about September 2020, we have pursued energy and refining opportunities, including alternative energy opportunities, as well as, the substantial financing needed by such energy opportunities as follows:

 

On April 15, 2018, we entered into a (conditional) binding letter of intent (the “IEC LOI”) with Inductance Energy Corporation Energy Corporation, a Wyoming corporation (“IEC”), which purports to have developed an alternative source of energy through the invention and development of magnetic “earth engines”. Pursuant to the IEC LOI , if all of the conditions contained in the IEC LOI are satisfied, (a) we would merge with a newly formed subsidiary of IEC with us being the surviving company, (b) we would issue to IEC such number of new shares of our Common Stock as shall represent 60% of our then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (c) IEC would provide to us, as the surviving company, up to $50,000,000(USD). The LOI ultimately expired without being implemented.

 

On April 2, 2019, we and our wholly owned subsidiary FTPM Resources, Inc. entered into non-binding Letter of Intent with Easy Energy systems Inc. (“EESI”) to form a joint venture the purpose of developing and marketing of clear glucose using EESI’s patented Modular Energy Production System technology (“MEPS®”). EESI’s Modular Energy Production Systems are small-scale modular biorefineries for the production of alternative liquid biofuels and other products from various feedstocks. MEPS® modules are fully automated, self-contained shipping container sized modules (the “Modules”) that contain a specific scientific process to process energy based on the particular targeted Feedstock. The Modules are factory-built and can be connected together in a matter of weeks to convert different forms of Feedstock into different forms of renewable energy and other high value products. The Modules can be shipped to remote villages and cities all over the world. That joint venture was to have been owned 33% by FTPM and 67% by EESI.

 

On June 28, 2019, we and EESI modified that proposed joint venture transaction and we entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (the June 28, 2019 Binding Letter of Intent”) with EESI to form a joint venture (hereinafter referred to as “JV-1”) for the purpose of creating and funding multiple operating joint venture limited liability companies (each an “Operating JV”) each of which to be focused on a different vertical market feedstock utilizing the MEPS® technology to create energy. Each Operating JV is expected to be assigned exclusive distribution rights based on a territory and/or specified Feedstock, and each of which will be financed by the funding source of that Operating JV. Each Operating JV would be owned 50% by that funding source for the particular LLC and the remaining 50% by JV-1 (which will be split equally between us and EESI). That joint venture was ultimately terminated.

 

At the beginning of March 2020, we again enter discussions with Inductance Energy Corporation (“IEC”), as we were in April 2018. In this particular instance IEC was offering to bring to the table several significant investors interested in funding the Company through its regulatory cleanup. It was suggested that MP Special Purpose Corporation (“MP”), would be interested in signing a joint commitment letter so long as necessary shares were set aside in return for the significant effort that would be expended by both IEC and MP. On March 22, 2020 IEC began due diligence on the Company, with the permission of its Board of Directors, for the purpose of forming future business alliances including joint ventures, joint stock ownership, and capital raises. Due diligence on the Company was completed by IEC at the beginning of July of 2020. The results of such within forwarded to the various investors of MP. The Company and MP signed an Agreement and Plan of Asset Acquisition (“Plan”), on September 22, 2020 to allow the Company to enter into the refining of rare earth materials from various locations under the control of MP and IEC. The Plan was assignable to IEC, or other investors or investor group’s willing to fund the growth of the Company through a private investment into a public entity, otherwise known as a PIPE (“PIPE”).

 

Since early November 2020 the Company expanded its board to include directors William Hinz, Douglas Bean, and Anthony Ker. The company also recruited and contractually hired Harry Ewert as its new CEO. Mr. Ewert also joined the Board of Directors. The Company recruited and contractually hired William Westbrook as its CFO. Both Mr. Ewert and Mr. Westbrook began their contracts in early December with the Company.

 

After the expanded Board of Directors was seated, and at the start of Mr. Ewert and Mr. Westbrook’s contracts, the Company moved quickly to establish a strategic and tactical operating plan to enter the rare earth refining market. The company established a technical committee which helped build out a plan to develop a private investment path. In addition, the Company moved to conduct due diligence on the former Willwood Air Force Base located in Wyoming at which IEC had been granted a special use permit for the processing of rare earth materials, and the manufacturer of permanent magnets.

 

In January 2021 the Company settled on a $50 million private placement offering, that would include a proposed $15 municipal bond package as offered by the town of Byron Wyoming, only 9 miles from the 164 acre former Willwood Air Force Base. The company decided to include the $15 million bond package in its $50 million private placement offering, therefore needing to raise $35 million of new equity in the company. The Board of Directors voted previously to authorize the development of a private placement memorandum to be filed with the SEC so that the private placement offering could be discussed with current and potential individual investors, and investor groups in the United States and Canada.

 

The Company has experienced strong demand for participation in its private placement offering, and expanded its staff to include two additional finance positions, as well as plans to expand its internal accounting staff.

The Company has developed a strategic plan for hiring experienced professionals, including those that are credentialed and hold licenses in engineering, mining, and chemical engineering. This increased depth of personnel surrounding the granting of a license from IEC to the Company for the exclusive production of magnetic materials and assemblies. The decision on the granting of a license from IEC, on an exclusive basis, would be made by IEC only if the Company could show substantial progress in its capital raise efforts, and its ability to attract technical expertise.

 

As the Company experienced success in both its private placement efforts, as well as its exploratory efforts for sources of rare earths,  the Company put forth expanded efforts to execute on its new strategic and tactical business plans in order to begin refining rare earth  materials for the recovery of oxides and metals that are required for the production of various magnetic products, and assemblies.

 

The Company developed a straightforward strategic and tactical business plan that could be executed around 3 basic business segments; Mining, Minerals and Magnets. These 3 segments would become a highly focused center of work for the Company.

 

Various work at the Company by its technical committee had shown that the Company could enter the mining industry through a very unique path of recovering rare earth and ferrite magnet material from discarded appliances, computers, and other sources in the United States and Canada. Secondly, the Company would concentrate its efforts on the recovery of rare earth materials from other waste streams including fly ash and fly bottom waste streams from combusted coal burning power plants in the United States and Canada. It is estimated that over 1 billion tons of this material exists and dumpsites, and far greater than 4 billion pounds of this material is still generated from coal burning power plants and other sources in the United States alone each and every year.

 

Successful recovery from these waste streams are described as follows;

 

 

1.

Rare Earth and Ferrite (Iron) Magnets that are used in a wide variety of appliances and electronics that can be recovered, that were disposed of in the United States and Canada. These appliances include; televisions, computers, refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, as well as motor vehicles, and used electrical motors. Quantum is working with a wide variety of returned merchandise centers, landfills, and other recycling businesses to secure these resources. These types of magnet resources can be mechanically gathered, and reprocessed for use by IEC, and other customers.

     
 

2.

Fly ash and fly bottom waste streams. Fly ash and fly bottom waste streams are the remaining byproduct of coal combustion. There are billions of pounds of fly ash and fly bottom waste that are produced each and every year in the United States and Canada, as well as foreign countries. Currently Quantum has two large developmental projects to recover and test both fly ash and fly bottom waste streams for their rare earth content. These two sources currently produce just over 1.4 billion pounds of fly ash and fly bottom waste on an annual basis. Well-known resource testing shows that most fly ash, as well as fly bottom waste streams on average contain about 1.85% rare earth material.

     
 

3.

Coal and other mining resources. Currently in the United States and Canada, the mining of coal to be consumed in coal power plants is in rapid decline. Coal producing states such as Wyoming, Kentucky, and West Virginia must move from a coal-based economy or continue to face declining royalty revenues from these natural resources. Rare earth minerals could be one answer to this problem. It is well known from a wide variety of Department of Energy studies that coal, and coal byproducts contain high concentrations of rare earth materials. Quantum is in negotiations with several operating and now defunct coal bearing properties in order to secure rights to process and refine rare earth materials.

 

 

 

Refining rare earth materials from used magnets, fly ash and fly bottom waste streams, and coal reserves range in difficulty from very simple, to a chemical process commonly called ion exchange, and precipitation. Both practices have been in place for many decades, worldwide, and are still used to this day for most mining recovery operations in addition to these 2 common practices, membrane recovery, similar to reverse osmosis, is finding favor by a wide variety of professionals, in many geographic areas. W

 

The reprocessing of waste stream magnets whether ferrite (iron), or rare earth, such as neodymium iron boron magnets, is a relatively simple process where the waste material is pulverized to approximately 80 mesh (177 microns), then re-blended into the required recipe, and then reformed in, to produce a value-added product. a choice of several different processes.

 

Refining rare earth materials from fly ash and fly bottom waste, is similar to recovering rare earth materials from coal ash, or coal seam material. It is a well-known ion exchange and precipitation process. A chemical process in which a wide variety of diluent made from acids and caustics are used to precipitate individual rare earth elements from waste streams. This can also include the recovery of rare earth materials from various membranes, such as membranes similarly used in reverse osmosis processes used to clean water. Membranes are size to very specific microns, and once the process is complete, the desired elements are recovered from recycling the membrane material.

 

The reclaiming of base materials that are suitable to be processed to extract rare Earth materials is heavily tied to wastewater treatment. While large quantities of water are not required to reclaim rare earth containing material, water can be used along with magnetic separation in the early stages of recovery. Wastewater resulting from these early-stage processes needs to be treated and then reintroduced into the process, thereby limiting the loss of treatment water to evaporation. Wastewater treatment also allows waste sludge to be minimalized, and dried for disposal in a common landfill. Typically these dried sludges are less than 1% of the overall material processed. The Company is currently seeking to purchase several different proven waste water technologies and systems to market alongside its rare earth recovery systems.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quantum Energy, Inc. as of February 28, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of February 28, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Companys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTE 1 -

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

QUANTUM ENERGY INC. (“the Company”) was incorporated under the name “Boomers Cultural Development Inc.” under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 5, 2004. On May 18, 2006, the Company changed its name to Quantum Energy, Inc.

 

The Company is a development stage diversified holding company with an emphasis in land holdings, refinery and fuel distribution.

 

The Company is domiciled in the Unites States of America and trades on the OTC market under the symbol QEGY.

 

 

NOTE 2 -

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The 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.

 

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 February 28, 2022 and 2021, 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 February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no assets or liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.

NOTE 2 -

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

 

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 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 February 28, 2022 and 2021, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. As shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations, the Company has an accumulated deficit and a working capital deficit at February 28, 2022 and 2021. 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 February 28, 2022 and 2021, respectively, would be as follows:

 

   

February 28,

2022

   

February 28,

2021

 

Warrants

    1,925,000       2,925,000  

TOTAL POSSIBLE DILUTION

    1,925,000       3,925,000  

 

At February 28, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the effect of the Company's outstanding options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

NOTE 5 -

OTHER ASSETS

 

Work in Progress

Work in progress consists of partially manufactured and raw rare earth metal products used in production in the amount of $118,358 at February 28, 2022.

Interest expense for the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2021 was $7,597 and $7,598, 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 November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021 were $107,868 and $17,868, respectively. In January 2022, the Company settled their dispute with Andrew Kacic and paid him $88,000. Included in this settlement was $107,868 in accounts payable – related parties, $64,300 in notes payable related parties and $16,573 in accrued interest – related parties. Write off of the notes payable and the accrued interest are included in gain on debt conversion in the amount of $80,873 for the year ended February 28, 2022. Write off of $19,868 of accounts payable related parties is included in professional fees at February 28, 2022.

 

Certain officers, directors and other related parties of the Company have paid various expenses on behalf of the Company. Balances due to the officers, directors and a related company for reimbursement of these expenses were $198,803 and $197,302 at February 2022 and February 28, 2021, respectively, which amounts are included in “Accounts payable and accrued liabilities - related parties” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Pursuant to these transactions, the Company agreed to use $150,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the Units to purchase the distribution rights of EES-E and EETC and in turn the Company would assign such distribution rights to EES-E and EETC respectively. Also, Raul Factor agreed to invest the required reasonable funding as determined by the board of directors of EETC for the startup, working capital, specific module development and required 6 months of economic demonstration of carpet and artificial turf into energy or value-added products for EETC. Also, EES agreed to contribute its module technologies developed by or available via license agreements from others to EES further on to EES-E via license agreements conforming to the terms set forth in these License and Operating Agreements. Raul Factor also agreed to fund additional capital requirements. At the date of this report, while the $200,000 was received from Raul Factor, the stock has yet to be issued. As of February 28, 2022, the stock was valued at $380,000 utilizing the closing price on November 30, 2021.

NOTE 12 -

Risks and Uncertainties

 

Coronavirus Impact (COVID-19) 

 

Due to the recent outbreak of the coronavirus reported in many countries worldwide, local and federal governments have issued travel advisories, canceled large scale public events and closed schools. In addition, companies have begun to cancel conferences and travel plans and require employees to work from home. Global financial markets have also experienced extreme volatility and disruptions to capital and credit markets.

 

We are unable to predict the impact of the coronavirus on our operations at this time. Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel, potential impact on our business partners and customers, and other matters affecting the general work and business environment could harm our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy. The adverse events may also adversely impact our ability to raise capital or to continue as a going concern. We continue to monitor the recent outbreak of the coronavirus on our operations.

 

Suprock Litigation

 

On December 10, 2021, the Company filed an action against the Suprock Parties in the United States District Court of the State of Nevada. (See: 2:21-cv-02184-JAD-BNW Quantum Energy Inc. v. PCS Advisors LLC et al). The complaint alleges breach of implied covenant of good faith & fair dealing, unjust enrichment, and breach of contract. The Company is seeking the return of the shares of its common stock and monetary damages.

ITEM 9.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

For the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2020 there were no disagreements with our auditors on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.  For the years ended February 28, 2022 and 2020, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due primarily to a material weakness in the segregation of duties in the Company’s internal control of financial reporting as discussed below.

 

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) and all related information appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

 

Management conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of the period covered by this report, based on the criteria in a framework developed by the Company’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, walkthroughs of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective, because management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the segregation of duties as described below.

 

While the Company does adhere to internal controls and processes that were designed and implemented based on the COSO report, it is difficult with a very limited staff to maintain appropriate segregation of duties in the initiating and recording of transactions, thereby creating a segregation of duties weakness. Due to: (i) the significance of segregation of duties to the preparation of reliable financial statements; (ii) the significance of potential misstatement that could have resulted due to the deficient controls; and (iii) the absence of sufficient other mitigating controls, we determined that this control deficiency resulted in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement or lack of disclosure within the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented or detected.

 

Managements Remediation Initiatives.

 

Management has evaluated, and continues to evaluate, avenues for mitigating our internal controls weaknesses, but mitigating controls to completely mitigate internal control weaknesses have been deemed to be impractical and prohibitively costly, due to the size of our organization at the current time. Management expects to continue to use reasonable care in following and seeking improvements to effective internal control processes that have been and continue to be in use at the Company.

 

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred prior to the Company’s most recent financial quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
