The Company
LifeQuest World Corp (“we” or the “Company” or “LifeQuest”) through its our wholly owned subsidiary, BioPipe Global Corp., is a wastewater treatment company with world’s only sludge free onsite waste water system.
On April 17, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BioPipe Acquisition, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Merger Sub”) and BioPipe Global Corp., a privately held New Jersey corporation (“BioPipe Global”). In connection with the closing of this merger transaction, Merger Sub merged with and into BioPipe Global (the “Merger”) on April 30, 2019, with the filing of Articles of Merger with the New Jersey Secretary of State.
In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement:
§ | All of the outstanding shares of BioPipe Global was exchanged for the right to receive an aggregate of 75,000,000 share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which was issued to certain shareholders in connection with an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement set forth below; |
§ | BioPipe Global provided customary representations and warranties and closing conditions, including approval of the Merger by a majority of its voting shareholders; and |
§ | Bradford Brock, our prior officer and director, was required to cancel 55,000,000 shares of his Common Stock in the Company but permitted to retain 1,000,000 shares in the Company. |
As a result of the Merger Agreement, we are engaged in eco-friendly decentralized wastewater treatment.
On May 7, 2019, BioPipe Global acquired all the assets of BioPipe Global AG, a Swiss company, and its wholly-owned Turkish subsidiary, BioPipe Cevre Teknolojileri A.S. We acquired all trade receivables, income, royalties, damages, rights to sue, rights to enforce and any and all payments unpaid and due now or hereafter due or payable with respect to the patented BioPipe System.
In the last five years, the BioPipe system has been installed in Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman Maldives and Bangladesh. These BioPipe systems are running successfully at resorts, hotels, commercial and government buildings, labor camps, ports and individual homes. In the future we can expect to see an increase in these types of installations as well as a cost-effective replacement for today’s Septic systems for single family homes and housing communities in the USA and around the world.

Traditional centralized wastewater treatment systems are expensive, energy-intensive and chemical-dependent. The world is seeking sustainable solutions through decentralized wastewater treatment which “get back to nature” while using 21st century technologies and management. Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater. Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling certain needs in residences (e.g. toilet flushing), businesses and industry, and where necessary, treated to reach potable standards.
The reuse of wastewater has long been established as critically important for irrigation, especially in arid countries. According to the World Bank, there will be a 40 percent global shortfall between supply and demand of water by 2030. And by 2025, approximately 1.8 billion people will be living in regions with “absolute water scarcity.” The World Bank also estimates that 70 percent of water use today is for agriculture. A projected global population of 9 billion by 2050 is expected to require a 60 percent increase in agricultural production and a 15 percent increase in water withdrawals. Recycled water can meet some of this need, benefited by the nutrient content inherent in wastewater. Only mid-range treatment levels would be required, as irrigation can be accomplished while minimizing the potential for human contact with the recycled water. Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain as an alternative water source for human activities. This can reduce scarcity and alleviate pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies. At the nexus between unusable wastewater and usable clean water, lies BioPipe:
We are a company seeking, and finding, opportunities to improve the supply of clean water for emerging and first-world nations. Clean water availability is a globally essential issue and critical to stopping the cycle of disease and sickness across the globe. Lifequest's main business focus is on reclamation and resuse of treated wastewater. Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater. Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling certain needs in residences (e.g. toilet flushing), businesses and industry, and where necessary, treated to reach drinking water standards. Reclaiming water from waste for reuse applications (instead of using freshwater supplies) can be a water-saving measure. When treated waste water is eventually discharged back into natural water sources, it still has significant benefits to the ecosystem; improving streamflow, nourishing plant life and recharging aquifers, as part of the natural water cycle. With number of water-stressed countries rising, treatment and reuse of wastewater is becoming increasingly necessary.
BioPipe is a revolutionary sewage wastewater treatment system. Patented in over 40 plus countries, Biopipe is a highly scalable, eco-friendly and extremely cost-effective wastewater treatment with a broad installed base. It is the planet’s first biological wastewater treatment system where the process takes place entirely inside the pipe and:
§ | has an extremely small foot print which allows it to be installed in places of high population density and commercial buildings; |
§ | Low cost and easy to assemble and install; |
§ | virtually silent; |
§ | odor free; |
§ | chemical free; |
§ | zero sludge; |
§ | very low energy consumption; and |
§ | discharge meets strict European Union standards. |
Biopipe has around 37 plants installed around the globe and we expect significant number of projects in Bangladesh, India and South Africa. We have set up joint venture in Bangladesh and finalized joint venture terms with in-country partners in India and South Africa and have ongoing discussion in various other countries.

Our Strategy
Our initial focus is on countries that have high water stress and a large gap between production of sewage and industrial wastewater versus installed capacity or simply lag adequate wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Our core strategy is to introduce Biopipe through joint ventures with strategic and well-established partners in top 10 countries with sewage problem. The JV partners, handles sales marketing, installation, operations and maintenance. This includes India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh is an important market for our solutions. According to Bangladesh Institute of Planners, capital Dhaka along dumps 1.16 million m3 of sewage per day into the local rivers. https://bdnews24.com/environment/2019/05/25/dhaka-pumps-1.1-million-cubic-metres-of-sewage-into-rivers-daily-study-says
Nearly 2,000,000m3/dayof textile waste water is dumped untreated. Textile manufacturers without an ETP system are paying up to $200/m3 for treatment-https://www.thedailystar.net/frontpage/news/worries-over-waste-water-1700863. Thetwotypes of wastewater problems present an enormous opportunity for Lifequest. We have a Biopipe system running at a government owned multifamily building for nearly 2 years andwehave demonstrated the efficacy of the system. We have formed a 50-50 Joint Venture with Biotech Innovations Ltd. Biotech already has a robust pipeline of projects and is required to sell aminimum2,500m3capacity in 2020 and increase it by 30% thereafter to maintain exclusivity for Bangladesh.
India
India is unique because it not only one of the most water stressed countries in the world and also has a huge sewage and industrial wastewater problem.
7 |
We have signed and MoU and finalized a 50-50 joint venture agreement with Environest Global Pvt Limited to introduce Biopipe in India, Mauritius, Maldives and Sri Lanka. The agreement calls for minimum sale of 10,000 m3 in total capacity in Year 2020 and must maintain it in order to maintain exclusivity.
We are targeting the textile and tannery wastewater sector outside the joint venture. Currently textile manufacturers are willing to pay up to $18/m3 for treating textile waste and if we put a reverse osmosis (RO) unit in, the water can be resold to the government for $2/m3.
South Africa
South Africa is another water stressed country with massive sewage problem. More than half of the sewage treatment installed capacity is not working and close to 50,000 liters of sewage is being dumped every second -
https://mg.co.za/article/2017-07-21-south-africas-shit-has-hit-the-fan .. The local governments are asking developers to have their own decentralized sewage wastewater systems before any development is approved. This creates a highly scalable Build Own & Operate (BOO) or leasing opportunity whereby we will provide the system and charge the customers for the amount of water reused. BOO or Leasing is expected to produce a long term stable cashflow.
Sanitation makes a key contribution to public health, particularly in densely populated areas. Adequate sanitation is defined as any private or shared, but not public, facility that guarantees that waste is hygienically separated from human contact (JMP, 2000). Adequate sanitation reduces the risk of a broad range of diseases – including respiratory ailments, malaria, and diarrhea – and reduces the prevalence of malnutrition. Access to this standard of sanitation produces direct health gains by preventing disease and delivering economic and social benefits. It is estimated that a reduction in diarrhea illness would produce a gain of 99 million days of school and 456 million days of work for the working population (age 15–59) in Africa.
The 2016 General Household Survey performed by Stats SA reported on, inter alia, the number of households with access to sanitation and the type of sanitation accessed. The table below uses information from the survey and links it to the suitability of the Biopipe closed loop, flush toilet system:
Sanitation Type | Statistic | 2015 | Biopipe Closed Loop |
Flush toilet connected to a public sewerage system | Number | 9,641,000 | X |
Percentage | 59.80% | ||
Flush toilet connected to a septic tank | Number | 516,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 3.20% | ||
Chemical toilet | Number | 45,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 0.30% | ||
Pit latrine/toilet with ventilation pipe | Number | 2,680,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 16.60% | ||
Pit latrine/toilet without ventilation pipe | Number | 2,343,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 14.50% | ||
Bucket toilet | Number | 179,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 1.1% | ||
Ecological sanitation | Number | 30,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 0% | ||
None (open defecation, etc) | Number | 580,000 | ✔ |
Percentage | 3.60% |
8 |
From the above table, one can deduce the available market for the Biopipe closed loop flush toilet system to be around 6.25 million households. Assuming a flush volume of 4 liters and 10 flushes per household per day, that equates to a market size, by treatment volume, of 250,000 m3/day.
With the average system servicing 25 households – i.e. 1,000 liters per day (25*40 liters), the market equates to 250,000 systems.
We have finalized a 50-50 Joint Venture with Abrimix (Pty) Ltd. to introduce Biopipe system in Africa, excluding Morocco and Egypt and vice versa we will introduce Abrimix system in Bangladesh, India and Turkey.
Additionally, we are having dialogue with potential partners in Egypt and Ethiopia.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
Results of Operations for the Years Ended May 31, 2019 and 2018
Revenues
Our total revenue reported for the year ended May 31, 2019 was $3,302, compared with $29,158 for the year ended May 31, 2018.
We expect our revenues to increase in future quarters as a result of our joint ventures and other marketing initiatives.
Cost of Revenues
Our total cost of revenues for the year ended May 31, 2019 was to $2,254, compared with $8,092 for the year ended May 31, 2018.
We expect to sell our Biopipe systems with at least 50% gross margin.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses decreased to $87,562 for the year ended May 31, 2019 from $182,470 for the year ended May 31, 2018. The decrease in operating expenses is a result of unwinding of prior operations.
We expect to incur more in operating expenses for the year ended May 31, 2020 as a result of the increased costs of reporting with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the growth of our business with access to the capital in this offering.
Other Expenses/Other Income
We had other expenses of $8,411,921 for the year ended May 31, 2019, as compared with other expenses of $66,230 for the same period ended 2018. The increase in other expenses is a result of interest expense and loss on settlement of debt.
Net Loss
We finished the year ended May 31, 2019 with a loss of $8,323,311, as compared to a net income of $137,306 during the year ended May 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2019, we had total current assets of $0.00 and current liabilities of $147,931, resulting in a working capital deficit of $147,931. This compares with the working capital deficit of $145,760 at May 31 2018. This decrease in working capital deficit, as discussed in more detail below, is primarily the result of ceasing of existing operations.
Our operating activities used $51,036 in cash for the year ended May 31, 2019 as compared with $141,138 provided from operating activities in the year ended May 31, 2018.
Investing activities provided $25,800 in cash for the year ended May 31, 2019 compared with cash used of $118,548 in the year ended May 31, 2018.
Financing activities provided $25,800 in cash for the year ended May 31, 2019 compared with $118,548 used in the year ended May 31, 2018. Our positive financing cash flow in 2018 was largely the result of proceeds from convertible debt placement.
Based upon our current financial condition, we do not have sufficient cash to operate our business at the current level for the next twelve months. We intend to fund operations through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. We plan to seek additional financing in a private equity offering to secure funding for operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising additional funding. If we are not able to secure additional funding, the implementation of our business plan will be impaired. There can be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the year ended May 31, 2019.
Critical Accounting Polices
In December 2001, the SEC requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting polices” in the Management Discussion and Analysis. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results, and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Offering Circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of May 31, 2019, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The recent accounting pronouncements that are material to our financial statements are disclosed in Note 2 of our consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Offering Circular filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in Note 2 of our unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein.
Please consider the following risk factors and other information in this offering circular relating to our business before deciding to invest in our common stock.
This offering and any investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this offering circular before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We consider the following to be the material risks for an investor regarding this offering. Our company should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount.
An investment in our common stock is highly speculative, and should only be made by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this report before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent.
Risk Factors Related to the Business of the Company
We have limited cash on hand and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
At May 31, 2019, we did not have any cash on hand and working capital deficit of $147,931 and for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, we had $3,302 in revenues. Subsequently we raised $400,000 from exercise of warrants and we believe that we sufficient capital to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. However, this amount will limit our ability to make capital investments in Build Own & Operate or Leased projects. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next twelve months as we ramp our marketing and funding of Build Own & Operate and Leased plants. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.

We have a limited operating history upon which investors can evaluate our future prospects.
Our operating subsidiary, BioPipe Global Corp., was incorporated in the State of New Jersey on April 23, 2019. Therefore, we have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our business plan or performance and prospects can be made. The business and prospects of the Company must be considered in the light of the potential problems, delays, uncertainties and complications encountered in connection with a newly established business. To successfully introduce and market our products and services at a profit, we must establish brand name recognition and competitive advantages for our products. There are no assurances that the Company can successfully address these challenges. If it is unsuccessful, the Company and its business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.
Given the limited operating history, management has little basis on which to forecast future demand for our products and services from our existing customer base, much less new customers. We are depended on our in-country joint venture partners. It is difficult to accurately forecast future revenues because the business of the Company is new and its market has not been developed. If the forecasts for the Company prove incorrect, the business, operating results and financial condition of the Company will be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, the Company may be unable to adjust its spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unanticipated reduction in revenue. As a result, any significant reduction in revenues would immediately and adversely affect the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company.
We are dependent on our in-country Joint Venture partners
We intend not to enter markets without joint venture or distributorship. Our success depends on the ability of our joint venture partners and distributors to effectively market, install and support our wastewater treatment systems.
We may not be able to compete successfully with current and future competitors.
We have many potential competitors in the wastewater equipment and services industry. We will compete, in our current and proposed businesses, with other companies, most of which have far greater marketing and financial resources and experience than we do. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to penetrate our intended market and be able to compete profitably, if at all.
If we do not continually upgrade our technology, it may become obsolete and we may not be able to compete with other companies.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to keep pace with advances in technology for wastewater treatment or that our services will not become obsolete. We cannot assure you that competitors will not develop related or similar wastewater treatment systems.
Defects in our products or failures in quality control could impair our ability to sell our products or could result in product liability claims, litigation and other significant events involving substantial costs.
Detection of any significant defects in our products or failure in our quality control procedures may result in, among other things, delay in time-to-market, loss of sales and market acceptance of our products, diversion of development resources, and injury to our reputation. The costs we may incur in correcting any product defects may be substantial. Additionally, errors, defects or other performance problems could result in financial or other damages to our customers, which could result in litigation. Product liability litigation, even if we prevail, would be time consuming and costly to defend, and if we do not prevail, could result in the imposition of a damages award. We presently maintain product liability insurance; however, it may not be adequate to cover any claims.
There can be no assurances of protection for proprietary rights or reliance on trade secrets.
The ownership and protection of the Company’s trademarks, patents, trade secrets and intellectual property rights are significant aspects of its future success. Unauthorized parties may attempt to replicate or otherwise obtain and use the Company’s products and technology. Policing the unauthorized use of current or future trademarks, patents, trade secrets or intellectual property rights could be difficult, expensive, time-consuming and unpredictable, as may be enforcing these rights against unauthorized use by others. Identifying unauthorized use of intellectual property rights is difficult as the Company may be unable to effectively monitor and evaluate the intellectual property used by its competitors, including parties such as unlicensed dispensaries, and the processes used to produce such products. In addition, in any infringement proceeding, some or all of the trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights or other proprietary know-how, or arrangements or agreements seeking to protect the same may be found invalid, unenforceable, anti-competitive or not infringed. An adverse result in any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of the trademarks, patents or other intellectual property rights at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put existing intellectual property applications at risk of not being issued. Any or all of these events could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, other parties may claim that the Company’s products infringe on their proprietary and perhaps patent protected rights. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, legal fees, result in injunctions, temporary restraining orders and/or require the payment of damages.
13 |
We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.
We must continually implement and improve our products and/or services, operations, operating procedures and quality controls on a timely basis, as well as expand, train, motivate and manage our work force in order to accommodate anticipated growth and compete effectively in our market segment. Successful implementation of our strategy also requires that we establish and manage a competent, dedicated work force and employ additional key employees in corporate management, product development, client service and sales. We can give no assurance that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our existing and future operations. If we fail to implement and improve these operations, there could be a material, adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Risks associated with operating abroad may negatively affect our ability to implement our business plan.
The Company’s expansion into jurisdictions outside of the United States is subject to risks. In addition, in jurisdictions outside of the United States, there can be no assurance that any market for the Company’s products or services will develop or be maintained. The Company may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase its exposure to one or more existing risks, including economic instability, changes in laws and regulations, and the effects of competition. These factors may limit the Company’s ability to successfully expand its operations into such jurisdictions and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
If we make any acquisitions or enter into a merger or similar transaction, our business may be negatively impacted.
We have no present plans for any specific acquisition. However, in the event that we make acquisitions in the future, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired companies’ personnel and operations with our own. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions, mergers and other similar transactions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:
● | the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations; | |
● | the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our Management and the management of acquired companies; | |
● | the difficulty of incorporating acquired rights or products into our existing business; | |
● | difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies; | |
● | the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers; | |
● | potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition. |
There might be unanticipated obstacles to the execution of our business plan.
The Company’s business plans may change significantly. The Company’s Build Own & Operate (BOO) and Leasing endeavors are capital intensive. Management believes that the Company’s chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current water stress and wastewater problem around the world.
We may engage in transactions that present conflicts of interest.
The Company’s officers and directors may enter into agreements with the Company from time to time which may not be equivalent to similar transactions entered into with an independent third party. A conflict of interest arises whenever a person has an interest on both sides of a transaction. While we believe that it will take prudent steps to ensure that all transactions between the Company and any officer or director are fair, reasonable, and no more than the amount it would otherwise pay to a third party in an “arms’-length” transaction, there can be no assurance that any transaction will meet these requirements in every instance.
14 |
We have agreed to indemnify our officers and directors against lawsuits to the fullest extent of the law.
The Company is a Minnesota corporation. Minnesota law permits the indemnification of officers and directors against expenses incurred in successfully defending against a claim. Minnesota law also authorizes corporations to indemnify their officers and directors against expenses and liabilities incurred because of their being or having been an officer or director. Our organizational documents provide for this indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law.
We currently do not maintain any insurance coverage. In the event that we are found liable for damage or other losses, we would incur substantial and protracted losses in paying any such claims or judgments. Although we intend to acquire such coverage immediately upon resources becoming available, there is no guarantee that we can secure such coverage or that any insurance coverage would protect us from any damages or loss claims filed against us.
Failure to comply to local laws and regulations.
We may incur substantial costs on an ongoing basis to comply with all laws and regulations. New or stricter laws and/or regulations could increase our costs and make us less competitive.
Wastewater operations entail significant risks and may impose significant costs.
Wastewater treatment systems fail or do not operate properly, or if there is a spill, untreated or partially treated wastewater could discharge onto property or into nearby streams and rivers, causing various damages and injuries, including environmental damage. Liabilities resulting from such damages and injuries could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Significant or prolonged disruptions in the supply of important goods or services from third parties could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We are dependent on procuring all our components from third parties and any deterioration in quality or disruption or prolonged delays in obtaining important supplies such as water pipe, valves, pumps, control panels, or other materials, could harm our ability to deliver and commission plants on time.
We depend significantly on the services of the members of our management team, and the departure of any of those persons could cause our operating results to suffer.
Our success depends significantly on the continued individual and collective contributions of our management team. The loss of the services of any member of our management team or the inability to hire and retain experienced management personnel could harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Risks Related to the Offering and the Market for our Stock
Because there is no minimum offering amount, funds raised may not be sufficient to complete the plans of the Company as set forth in “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular.
There is no minimum offering amount. If we do not raise the maximum proceeds, funds raised may not be sufficient to complete all plans of the Company as set forth in “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular, which could inhibit our ability to commence to generate revenue.
We have the right to issue shares of preferred stock. If we were to issue preferred stock, it is likely to have rights, preferences and privileges that may adversely affect the common stock.
We are authorized to issue 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, with such rights, preferences and privileges as may be determined from time-to-time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix for any series the dividend rights, dissolution or liquidation preferences, redemption prices, conversion rights, voting rights, and other rights, preferences and privileges for the preferred stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, depending on the rights, preferences and privileges attributable to the preferred stock, could reduce the voting rights and powers of the common stock and the portion of our assets allocated for distribution to common stockholders in a liquidation event, and could also result in dilution in the book value per share of the common stock we are offering. The preferred stock could also be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method for raising additional capital or discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company, to the detriment of the investors in the common stock offered hereby.
15 |
New investors in our common stock will experience immediate and substantial dilution after this Offering.
If you purchase shares of common stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate dilution, because the price that you pay will be substantially greater than the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share that you acquire. This dilution is due in large part to our negative book value.
If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “LQWC” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc., an electronic inter-dealer quotation medium for equity securities. We do not currently have an active trading market. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained.
Our securities are very thinly traded. Accordingly, it may be difficult to sell shares of our common stock without significantly depressing the value of the stock. Unless we are successful in developing continued investor interest in our stock, sales of our stock could continue to result in major fluctuations in the price of the stock.
The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Our stock price is subject to a number of factors, including:
§ | Technological innovations or new products and services by us or our competitors; |
§ | Government regulation of our products and services; |
§ | The establishment of partnerships with other environmentalcompanies; |
§ | Intellectual property disputes; |
§ | Additions or departures of key personnel; |
§ | Issuances of our common stock; |
§ | Our ability to execute our business plan; |
§ | Operating results below or exceeding expectations; |
§ | Financial condition of our joint venture partners; |
§ | Whether we achieve profits or not; |
§ | Loss or addition of any strategic relationship; |
§ | Industry developments; |
§ | Economic and other external factors; and |
§ | Period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. |
Our stock price may fluctuate widely as a result of any of the above. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Because we are subject to the “Penny Stock” rules, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any listed, trading equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules which may increase the difficulty Purchasers may experience in attempting to liquidate such securities.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will occur only if our stock price appreciates.
16 |
We will have broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this Offering and we may not use those proceeds in ways that will enhance our business operations.
We have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds we will receive in this Offering. We will use the proceeds that we receive from the sale of shares in this Offering for legal fees, accounting expenses, research and development, capital investments and working capital. As part of your investment decision, you will not be able to assess or direct how we apply these net proceeds. If we do not apply these funds effectively, we may lose significant business opportunities.
The securities laws may restrict transferability of the securities sold in the Offering.
The shares in this Offering have not been registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any state or foreign securities laws. Such securities are being issued based upon the Company’s reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act for an offer and sale of securities that does not involve a public offering. Unless such securities are so registered, they may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws.
You must make an independent investment analysis in connection with this Offering.
No independent legal, accounting or business advisors have been appointed to represent the interests of prospective Investors in connection with this Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents makes any representation or expresses any opinion with respect to the merits of an investment in the shares offered hereby. Each prospective Investor is therefore encouraged to engage independent accountants, appraisers, attorneys and other advisors to (i) conduct due diligence review as the prospective investor may deem necessary and advisable, and (ii) provide advice with respect to the merits of an investment in the shares offered hereby and applicable risk factors as a prospective investor may deem necessary and advisable to rely upon. We will fully cooperate with any prospective Investor who desires to conduct an independent analysis, so long as it determines, in our sole discretion, that cooperation is not unduly burdensome. Each prospective Investor acknowledges that he, she or it has been informed and understands.
Because we lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has no technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company's financial personnel to advise the Board on such matters, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.
We lack certain internal controls over financial reporting in that we do not yet have an audit committee and our Board of Directors has little technical knowledge of U.S. GAAP and internal control of financial reporting and relies upon the Company's financial personnel and Accounting firm to advise the Board on such matters. Accordingly, we are subject to increased risk related to financial statement disclosures.
This offering circular contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We use words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “plan”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us as described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this offering circular.

Overview
LifeQuest World Corp (“we” or the “Company” or “LifeQuest”) through its our wholly owned subsidiary, BioPipe Global Corp., is a wastewater treatment company with world’s only sludge free onsite waste water system.
On April 17, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with BioPipe Acquisition, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“Merger Sub”) and BioPipe Global Corp., a privately held New Jersey corporation (“BioPipe Global”). In connection with the closing of this merger transaction, Merger Sub merged with and into BioPipe Global (the “Merger”) on April 30, 2019, with the filing of Articles of Merger with the New Jersey Secretary of State.
In addition, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement:
§ | All of the outstanding shares of BioPipe Global was exchanged for the right to receive an aggregate of 75,000,000 share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which was issued to certain shareholders in connection with an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement set forth below; |
§ | BioPipe Global provided customary representations and warranties and closing conditions, including approval of the Merger by a majority of its voting shareholders; and |
§ | Bradford Brock, our prior officer and director, was required to cancel 55,000,000 shares of his Common Stock in the Company but permitted to retain 1,000,000 shares in the Company. |
As a result of the Merger Agreement, we are engaged in eco-friendly decentralized wastewater treatment.
On May 7, 2019, BioPipe Global acquired all the assets of BioPipe Global AG, a Swiss company, and BioPipe Cevre Teknolojileri A.S. a Turkish company. We acquired all trade receivables, income, royalties, damages, rights to sue, rights to enforce and any and all payments unpaid and due now or hereafter due or payable with respect to the patented BioPipe System.
In the last seven years, the BioPipe system has been installed in Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman Maldives and Bangladesh. These BioPipe systems are running successfully in resorts and hotels, high-rise office and residential buildings, labor camps and single family homes. In the future we can expect to see an increase in these types of installations as well as a cost-effective replacement for today’s Septic systems for single family homes and housing communities in the USA and around the world.
Traditional centralized wastewater treatment systems are expensive, energy-intensive and chemical-dependent. The world is seeking sustainable solutions through decentralized wastewater treatment which “get back to nature” while using 21st century technologies and management. Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater. Reused water may also be directed toward fulfilling certain needs in residences (e.g. toilet flushing), businesses and industry, and where necessary, treated to reach drinking water standards.
The reuse of wastewater has long been established as critically important for irrigation, especially in arid countries. According to the World Bank, there will be a 40 percent global shortfall between supply and demand of water by 2030. And by 2025, approximately 1.8 billion people will be living in regions with “absolute water scarcity.” The World Bank also estimates that 70 percent of water use today is for agriculture. A projected global population of 9 billion by 2050 is expected to require a 60 percent increase in agricultural production and a 15 percent increase in water withdrawals. Recycled water can meet some of this need, benefited by the nutrient content inherent in wastewater. And only mid-range treatment levels would be required, as irrigation can be accomplished while minimizing the potential for human contact with the recycled water. Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain as an alternative water source for human activities. This can reduce scarcity and alleviate pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies. At the nexus between unusable wastewater and clean water, lies BioPipe:
We are a company seeking, and finding, opportunities to improve the supply of clean water for emerging and first-world nations. BioPipe's main business focus is water reclamation. This is the process of converting wastewater into water that can be repurposed for other uses. Reclaiming water from waste for reuse applications (instead of using freshwater supplies) can be a water-saving measure. When treated waste water is eventually discharged back into natural water sources, it still has significant benefits to ecosystems; improving streamflow, nourishing plant life and replenishing aquifers, as part of the natural water cycle. Wastewater reuse is a long-established practice used for irrigation, especially in arid countries. Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain as an alternative water source for human activities. This can reduce scarcity and alleviate pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies.

BioPipe is a revolutionary wastewater treatment system. Patented in 40 plus countries, Biopipe is a highly scalable, eco-friendly and extremely cost-effective wastewater treatment with a broad installed base. It is the planet’s first biological wastewater treatment system where the process takes place entirely inside the pipe and:
§ | has an extremely small foot print which allows it to be installed in places of high population density and commercial buildings; |
§ | virtually silent; |
§ | odor free; |
§ | zero sludge; |
§ | chemical free; |
§ | very low energy consumption; and |
§ | discharge meets strict European Union standards. |
Biopipe has a robust pipeline of projects in various parts of the world and is in the process of setting up joint ventures in Bangladesh, India, South Africa and Netherlands.
Industry Drivers
According to Water Resource Institute water shortages affect 2.7 billion people now and 2.4 billion people lack proper wastewater treatment. An additional 2.1 billion people need upgraded treatment. Population is expected to grow from 7.4 billion in 2016 to 9.1 billion in 2050 which will require 60% increase in global food production by 2050. Manufacturing water demand will grow 400% by 2050 and global water consumption is expected to double by 2050. This will result in 40% water deficit by 2030 and by 2025, two-thirds of the world will face water shortages. Governments and private sectors are rapidly moving towards treatment and re-use.
Our Solutions
SEWAGE WASTEWATER
Biopipe, established in 2014, is the 1stpatented and world’s only sludge free onsite wastewater treatment system. Biopipe is 100% sludge free, odor free, silent, easy to assemble and install, scalable, low cost, ecological and virtually maintenance free (if 1000 gallons of sewage wastewater (grey water and black water) goes in, 1000 gallons of clean water is discharged). The treated water is clean enough to exceed EU Standards for discharge and reuse. The entire treatment takes place within a series of pipes and the only output is non-potable clean water that can be used for irrigation, flushing or cleaning.
37 systems are currently running around the world at government and commercial buildings, hotels, resorts, labor camps and residences.
19 |
Example 1: 73m3/day system running at a government building in Sharjah- UAE
Example 2: 100m3/day system running a government residential building in Dhaka, Bangladesh
The system has a very small footprint and can treat a single residential home (replaces expensive septic tank), large commercial properties like hotels, offices, labor camps, and community housing. It does not use any chemicals, low cost, easy to design and install and the only output is clean water that meets European Union standards and can be discharged into the ground. Throughout Middle East the treated water is used for irrigation and can certainly be used for re-flushing and cleaning.
Decentralized (Onsite) Wastewater Treatment Market
Wastewater treatments that have small foot print, mobile, plug and play solutions like Biopipe and Abrimix are highly desirable. They require very little onsite infrastructure and require low capex. These systems can be remotely monitored and operated substantially lower cost than centralized systems. Additionally, localized treatment and reuse reduces water and energy demand. Biopipe uses very low power to operate because it does not use blowers in its system.
20 |
Septic Tank Market
Biopipe residential system has the potential to replace septic tanks. Our small footprint system can be easily installed in the basement or backyard and the water can be either discharged or re-used for irrigation. According to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, the distribution and density of septic systems vary widely by region and state, from a high of about 55 percent in Vermont to a low of about 10 percent in California. New England states have the highest proportion of homes served by septic systems. New Hampshire and Maine both report that about one-half of all homes are served by individual systems. More than one-third of the homes in the southeastern states depend on these systems, including approximately 48 percent in North Carolina and about 40 percent in both Kentucky and South Carolina. More than 60 million people in the nation are served by septic systems. About one-third of all new development is served by septic or other decentralized treatment systems. More than one in five households in the United States depend on individual onsite or small community cluster systems (septic systems) to treat their wastewater. These systems are used to treat and dispose of relatively small volumes of wastewater, usually from houses and businesses located in suburban and rural locations not served by a centralized public sewer system.
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER
We are in the process of adding Abrimix’s unique patented technology for treating a variety of industrial wastewater such as textile, tanneries, fisheries, food processing, abattoir, dairy processing waste oil. It is vastly superior to competing DAF technology and has low capital and operational costs, small footprint and easy to maintain.
Textile and tannery wastewater are a huge problem in India and Bangladesh which are the two important countries for Biopipe. We are looking to combine Abrimix and Biopipe in certain industries like Dairy where Abrimix cannot make the water dischargeable but when combined with Biopipe, the post treated water will become dischargeable. Biopipe currently has11 plantsrunning in South Africa and Nigeria.
Example: 5m3/day Tannery Wastewater Treatment Plant
Untreated Treated

Competition
The wastewater treatment industry is highly competitive and dominated by large companies. However, the decentralized wastewater treatment industry, which is growing rapidly, remains fragmented. To best of our knowledge there is no other competitive system like Biopipe that is low cost, low maintenance, modular, silent, odorless, zero sludge and yields clear dischargeable water.
Abrimix competes with DAF and other ETPs but no technology can match the price performance of Abrimix.
Environmental, Health and Safety Regulation
Different countries have different discharge standards for treated wastewater. We meet or exceed the discharge standards in countries we are now operating or intend to operate in. We are not subject to EPA regulations.
We estimate that, at a per share price of $0.50, the net proceeds from the sale of the 15,000,000 shares in this offering will be approximately $7,485,000, after deducting the estimated offering expenses of approximately $15,000.
We intend to use the proceeds for working capital and to invest in Build Own & Operate (BOO) and Build Own Operate & Transfer (BOOT) plants in South Africa, Bangladesh and India. Accordingly, we expect to use the proceeds of the Maximum Offering as follows:
Maximum Offering

The expected use of net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, including negotiations with the other parties in the merge and acquisitions process of the target companies, the amount of cash available from other sources and any unforeseen cash needs. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this offering.
If you invest in our shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our capital stock after this Offering. Our net tangible book value as of May 31, 2019 was negative $147,931 or (0.0012) per share of outstanding common stock. Without giving effect to any changes in the net tangible book value after May 31, 2019 other than the sale of 15,000,000 shares in this offering at the initial public offering price of $0.50 per share less direct costs of the offering, our pro forma net tangible book value as of May 31, 2019 would have been $7,337,069 or $0.071 per share of outstanding capital stock. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of our shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our capital stock immediately afterwards. This represents an immediate increase of $0.0725per share of capital stock to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $0.429 per share of common stock to the new investors, or approximately 100% of the assumed initial public offering price of $0.50 per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

The following is a summary of the rights of our capital stock as provided in our articles of incorporation and bylaws. For more detailed information, please see our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of September 13, 2019, there were 88,294,700 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Our shares are currently held by 42 stockholders of record with others in street name. As of September 13, 2019, there were no shares of our preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock representing fifty percent (50%) of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
26 |
Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created by our board of directors from time to time, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available therefore.
Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created from time to time by our board of directors, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders.
In the event of any merger or consolidation with or into another company in connection with which shares of our common stock are converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash). Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to divide the authorized shares of our preferred stock into one or more series, each of which must be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and our articles of incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including, but not limited to, the following:
1. | The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title; | |
2. | The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends will be cumulative, and if so, from which date(s), and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series; | |
3. | Whether that series will have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights; | |
4. | Whether that series will have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors determines; | |
5. | Whether or not the shares of that series will be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or date upon or after which they are redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates; | |
6. | Whether that series will have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund; | |
7. | The rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series; | |
8. | Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series. |
Provisions in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws That Would Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control
Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue a class of preferred stock commonly known as a "blank check" preferred stock. Specifically, the preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares of one or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, is authorized to adopt resolutions; to issue the shares; to fix the number of shares; to change the number of shares constituting any series; and to provide for or change the following: the voting powers; designations; preferences; and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following: dividend rights, including whether dividends are cumulative; dividend rates; terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions; redemption prices; conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred stock.
In each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our shareholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director's authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

Market Information
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “LQWC” on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc.
Our securities are thinly traded and there is no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or if developed, that it will be sustained. Therefore, a shareholder may be unable to resell his or her securities in our company.
Penny Stock
The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;(b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;(d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;(e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and;(f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with; (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;(b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
Effective June 3, 2019 a warrant for 1,000,000 shares of common stock was exercised for a payment of $200,000 was received.
During July 2019 a warrant for 1,000,000 shares of common stock was exercised and a payment of $200,000 was received.
These securities were issued pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The investor represented his intention to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view towards distribution. The investor was given adequate information about us to make an informed investment decision. We did not engage in any general solicitation or advertising. We directed our transfer agent to issue the stock certificates with the appropriate restrictive legend affixed to the restricted stock.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
We do not have any equity compensation plans.

Director Independence
The Board of Directors reviews the independence of our directors on the basis of standards adopted by the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). As a part of this review, the Board of Directors considers transactions and relationships between our company, on the one hand, and each director, members of the director’s immediate family, and other entities with which the director is affiliated, on the other hand. The purpose of such a review is to determine which, if any, of such transactions or relationships were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent under NASDAQ rules. As a result of this review, the Board of Directors has determined that none of our directors is an “independent director” within the meaning of applicable NASDAQ listing standards.

Notes to Financial Statements
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
LifeQuest World Corporation (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota on November 1, 1997. The Company develops and distributes dietary supplements. The shares of the Company trade on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol, “LQWC.”
On October 20, 2017, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Amagon ApS. The Company acquired 100% interest in Amagon ApS in exchange for 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock. Since the shareholders of Amagon ApS control the Company upon consummation of the Share Exchange through the voting rights in the preferred stock, the transaction has been recorded as a reverse merger and resulted in a recapitalization with Amagon ApS being the acquirer for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the historical financial statements are those of Amagon ApS and have been prepared to give retroactive effect to the reverse acquisition.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial statements which conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company's management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The following policies are considered to be significant:
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Company are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company has elected a May 31 year-end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
This considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, unless held for reinvestment as part of the investment portfolio, pledged to secure loan agreements or otherwise encumbered. The carrying amount approximates the fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized. If donated, property and equipment are recorded at the approximate fair value on the date of donation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
F-5 |
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Organization evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets by measuring the carrying amounts of the assets against the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets. At the time such evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the assets’ carrying value, the assets are adjusted to their fair value (based upon discounted cash flows). No impairment losses were recognized for the year ended May 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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, including functional allocations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances in making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. While actual results could differ from those estimates, management believes that the estimates are reasonable.
Key estimates made in the accompanying financial statements include, among others, the economic useful lives and recovery of long-lived assets and contingencies.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. Accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to certain limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts or lack of access to its cash, and believes it is not exposed to significant risk of loss with respect to cash. However, no assurance can be provided that access to the Company’s cash will not be impacted by adverse economic conditions in the financial markets.
At May 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had in its bank accounts no funds in excess of the $250,000 per depository institution that is federally insured.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date that these financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities and such assessments inherently involves exercise of judgement. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee is disclosed.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses and shareholder loans. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:
Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
Level 2— Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3— Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.
Financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered, or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09,Revenue From Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity is expected to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by 1 year. Accordingly, ASU 2014-09 will now be effective for the Company’s year ending December 31, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 must be made using either of two methods: (a) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined with ASU 2014-09; or (b) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined in ASU 2014-09. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14 on its financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases, which requires an entity to recognize the rights and obligations resulting from leases as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, including leases previously recorded and classified as operating leases. Pursuant to this new guidance, a lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (lease liability) and a right-of-use assets (lease asset) representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. This new standard is effective for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, with early application permitted, using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force) did not or are not believed to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future financial statements.
F-7 |
NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred losses since inception and has not yet received any revenues from sales of products or services. These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock and/or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plans include selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
