-

Quest Water Global reported a cash balance of only $9 as of September 30, 2025, indicating an extreme lack of liquidity to fund ongoing operations.
-
No Revenue and Increasing Losses
The company generated no revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and incurred a net loss of $630,907, an increase from $610,054 in the prior year period. Cash used in operating activities increased to $574,352.
-
Heavy Reliance on Related Party Financing

Analysis
This quarterly report reveals Quest Water Global, Inc. is in severe financial distress, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company reported a critically low cash balance of just $9, a working capital deficiency of over $3 million, and an accumulated deficit exceeding $13 million. Operations continue to generate no revenue and increasing losses, with funding almost entirely reliant on advances from related parties. A newly disclosed $30 million commitment for a DRC partnership, which is 7.5 times the company's market capitalization, appears highly unrealistic given its current financial state and lack of external funding. Additionally, the company's disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective, adding to compliance concerns. Investors should be aware of the significant risks highlighted by these disclosures.
