PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

 

We were incorporated in Colorado on June 21, 2010. Between February 1,2011 and June 14, 2014 we were involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties in southeast Texas.

 

We were never able to earn a profit and in January of 2013 we began investigating the possibility of selling our oil and gas properties.

 

As of April 30, 2014, we had liabilities of approximately $8,800,000. On March 31, 2014, we failed to make the interest payment on our convertible notes having an outstanding balance of $8,254,500. As a result, the note holders were entitled to declare the notes in default, in which case the principal amount of the notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest, would be immediately due and payable.

 

With a view to paying our note holders, on June 17, 2014 we sold our oil and gas properties to Vast Exploration, Inc. for $5,500,000.

 

The proceeds from the sale were used to:

 

 

· purchase the net profits interest held by Vanguard Net Profits, LLC for $230,619; and

 

 

 

 

· pay the balance to the holders of the Convertible Notes.

 

In consideration for accepting less than the full amount due on their notes, and releasing their lien on our oil and gas properties, holders of notes in the remaining principal amount of $2,900,117 agreed to accept 860,380 shares of our common stock in payment of the notes and accrued interest.

 

On August 19, 2014, a 100-for-1 reverse split of our common stock became effective.

 

The sale of our oil and gas properties represented the sale of substantially all of our assets.

 

Subsequent Events

 

On July 1, 2017 the Company authorized an increase in its authorized common shares to 500,000,000 and its authorized preferred shares to 10,000,000.

 

July 1, 2017 the company acquired all of the shares of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand (“SQTNZ”). These shares were purchased from Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (“SQTI”). The agreed value of that company’s assets is US$530 million. We subsequently changed our name to Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation in Colorado and with FINRA, and have also been cleared by FINRA to use the new trading symbol SQTX. The Company issued 213,402,755 new shares of common stock to SQTI in exchange for 122 (100%) of the common shares of SQTNZ. The issuance of these shares was equivalent to 95% of the Company's shares issued, after we issue an additional 10,021,224 shares of common stock to those holders of our common stock immediately prior to the acquisition. The Company does not anticipate any further reorganization of its common stock. We are currently preparing filing all necessary reports to the SEC with audited financial statements to resume our status as fully reporting with the SEC, and subsequently apply to trade on the more senior OTCQX exchange or NASDAQ.

 

SQTNZ is a corporation that has no prior business activity other than being the title owner of the exclusive mining and development rights for two High Purity Quartz (HPQ) Silica deposits known as Quartz Hill (represented by leases ML 30235, ML 30236 and ML 30237) and White Springs (represented by leases ML 30238 and ML 30239) located in North Queensland, Australia. Together they contain in excess of 15 million tons of High Purity Quartz which is feedstock in high demand in the marketplace to be used in the production of High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS).

As of September 30, 2017, we did not have any employees.

_______________

(1) Price reflects a 100-for-1 stock split which became effective on August 19, 2014.

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors is not restricted from paying any dividends but is not obligated to declare a dividend. No cash dividends have ever been declared and it is not anticipated that cash dividends will ever be paid.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The provisions in the Articles of Incorporation relating to the preferred stock allow our directors to issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in certain transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by our management.

 

As of August 31, 2017, we had approximately 215 shareholders of record.

 

We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception, and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance future growth. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors the board of directors considers relevant.

Disclosure controls and procedures are procedures designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as this Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and is communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Warren Dillard, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework (1992). Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.

 

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2017.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

These consolidated financial statements of Vanguard Energy (Vanguard 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 financials statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of 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 Vanguard’s audited financial statements as of September 30, 2014.

 

On March 31, 2014 the Company failed to make the schedules interest payments on its 2012 Convertible Notes (Notes). As a result, the note holders were entitled to declare the Notes in default, in which case the principal amount of the Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest would be immediately due and payable. For this reason, the Notes are classified as current obligations within the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015.

 

The sale of the Company’s oil and gas properties, as explained in Note 3, raised substantial doubt of the Company to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation— The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Vanguard Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries. Vanguard’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company's fiscal year-end is September 30. 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 follows

 

Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common and potential shares. The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 excludes 759,474 and 167,610 shares, respectively, issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants and debt conversions features because their effect is 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.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Various accounting standards updates have been recently issued, most of which represented technical corrections to the accounting literature or were applicable to specific industries. No new accounting pronouncements have been issued that are likely to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

VANGUARD ENERGY CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Participation Liability—In prior periods the Company recognized a participation liability related to a net profits interest granted to person who purchased the Company’s 2010 Convertible Promissory Notes. The net profits interest was held by Vanguard Net Profits, LLC and covered some of the Company’s oil and gas properties. On June 17, 2014 the Company settled the net profits interests for $230,619. The Company recognized a gain on the settlement of the participation liability of $171,772 during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as a result.

 

Fair Value Measurements—The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of long-term debt was determined by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The Company calculated that the estimated fair value of the long term debt is not significantly different than the carrying value of the debt. The participation liability associated with outstanding long-term debt was determined by utilizing a present value factor of 10 applied to proved developed reserves associated with the wells drilled with the proceeds of the notes.

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs used in determining fair value are classified for disclosure purposes according to a hierarchy that prioritizes those inputs based upon the degree to which they are observable. The three levels of the fair-value-measurement hierarchy are as follows:

 

 

· Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

 

 

 

· Level 2—Inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

 

 

· Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the Company's own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

In determining fair value, the Company utilizes observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, the Company incorporates transaction-specific details that, in management's judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value. The Company utilizes the most observable inputs available for the valuation technique employed. If a fair value measurement reflects inputs at multiple levels within the hierarchy, the fair-value measurement of both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are characterized based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

NOTE 3 –SALE OF OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES/ PAYMENT OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES

 

During 2012, the Company sold $8,254,500 of Convertible Promissory Notes. On March 31, 2014 the Company failed to make the scheduled interest payments on the notes. As a result, the note holders were entitled to declare the notes in default, in which case the principal amount of the notes plus all accrued and unpaid interest would be immediately due and payable.

 

The Company’s inability to make the interest payment to the note holders was the result of the expenditure of considerable capital to work over some of the Company’s wells. The costs of the work far exceeded the Company’s expectations and yet the work was required in order to get the wells back into production. This depleted the Company’s cash position far below its expectations. Further, although the initial work on those wells was successful in boosting production momentarily, further complications resulted in lower production than anticipated, which was not adequate to replenish the cash expended and enable the Company to make required interest payments.

 

With a view to paying its note holders, the Company, on June 17, 2014 sold its oil and gas properties to Vast Exploration, Inc. for $5,500,000, after obtaining approvals from the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock and approvals of a majority of note holders. An impairment charge of $880,213 was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 for the amount which the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties exceeded the estimated net proceeds from the planned sale. The Company adjusted the impairment charge by $(18,634) during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 based on final closing of the transaction. The total impairment as of September 30, 2014 is $861,579.

A loss on early extinguishment of debt totaling $380,539 was recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 for the write-off of a portion of the debt issuance costs and debt issuance discount associated with the debt repayment. After the payment of the $5,259,706 approximately $2,900,000 remains to be paid to the convertible note holders. As of September 30, 2014 the unamortized discount on the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes totaled $71,754. Interest expense for the amortization of debt issuance cost and discount on the notes for the period ending September 30, 2014 was $445,078. The effective interest rate of the 2012 Convertible Promissory Notes was 28.3% for the period ending September 30, 2014. Accrued interest at September 30, 2015 was $38,571 and at September 30, 2014 was $702,902.

 

In consideration for accepting less than the full amount due on the notes, and releasing their lien on the Company’s oil and gas properties, holders of notes in the approximated principal of amount of $2,923,040 as a group, have agreed to received shares in the Company’s stock in payment of the remaining balances on their notes, plus accrued interest. The conversion of most of the notes payable into shares was enacted in December 2014 represented approximately 90% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares. As of September 30, 2015 nearly all of the notes payable had been exchanged for shares with the exception of $146,937.

 

NOTE 4 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On July 1, 2017 the company acquired all of the shares of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand (“SQTNZ”). These shares were purchased from Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (“SQTI”). We have agreed with SQTI that the market value of that SQTNZ’s assets is US$530 million. We subsequently changed our name to Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation in Colorado and with FINRA, and have also been cleared by FINRA to use the new trading symbol SQTX. During July 2017 the Company issued 213,402,755 new shares of common stock to SQTI in exchange for 122 (100%) of the common shares of SQTNZ. The issuance of these shares was equivalent to 95% of the Company's shares issued, after we issue in the future an additional 10,021,224 shares of common stock to those holders of our common stock immediately prior to the acquisition.
