The Company
LifeQuest World Corp., through its our wholly owned subsidiary, BioPipe Global Corp., is a wastewater treatment company that treats domestic sewage (wastewater from toilets, kitchens, showers, laundry, etc.) into clean water ready for secondary purposes like flushing of toilets or irrigation, without producing sludge.
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, 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. |
From the date of the Merger Agreement, we have been engaged in eco-friendly decentralized wastewater treatment. The Company’s mission is to become a singular platform for highly efficient, scalable, low footprint onsite treatment technologies for treatment sewage wastewater and industrial wastewater. Our flagship product is Biopipe STP, (sewage wastewater treatment), which is a highly scalable and biological sewage wastewater system that treats domestic sewage into clean water ready for secondary purposes.
On May 7, 2019, under an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement, 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 STP system has been installed in Bangladesh, India, Ethiopia, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Maldives. These BioPipe systems are running successfully at hospitals, resorts, hotels, commercial and government buildings, labor camps, ports and individual homes.
On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into a 50-50 joint venture and technology transfer agreement with South Africa based, Abrimix Pty Ltd. The purpose of the agreement was to introduce our Biopipe STP into southern Africa and eventually introduce Abrimix in the countries we operate in. Abrimix is a patented, low footprint, scalable industrial wastewater treatment technology with the ability to treat a wide variety of industrial wastewater. Due to disruptions related to Covid-19 and a lack of funding, the parties to the joint venture dissolved the venture and, on May 30, 2022 , a technology license agreement was put in place which includes royalty payment of 7.5% of Net Revenue.
Traditional centralized wastewater treatment systems are expensive to install and operate, energy-intensive and are dependent on chemicals. The world is seeking sustainable solutions through decentralized wastewater treatment which “get back to nature” while using 21st century technologies and management. Reuse of Biopipe treated water 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 circular water economy as a business model provides sustainable production and consumption of treated water and recovery of resources. 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.
Circular Economy of Water
Lifequest is seeking to build a platform of disruptive decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DEWATS) that are highly efficient, scalable, cost effective with small footprint. Our flagship biological treatment system, Biopipe STP, can be adapted to treat all types of wastewaters, but our current focus is on domestic wastewater. Our Abrimix process through our technology partnership is a versatile primary treatment for all types of industrial wastewater with a small footprint and is superior to the nearest Dissolve Air Floatation technology. The treated water from our Biopipe system can be reused for irrigation, exterior washing, irrigation and re-flushing of toilets. Both solutions offer a pathway to zero liquid discharge solutions.
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, such as improving streamflow, nourishing plant life and recharging aquifers, as part of the natural water cycle. With the number of water-stressed countries rising, treatment and reuse of wastewater is becoming increasingly necessary.
BioPipe is a revolutionary sewage wastewater treatment system. 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:
| ☐ | | | 100% biological system with NO chemicals used |
| ☐ | | | There is absolutely no sludge produced and no odor |
| ☐ | | | Lower energy consumption versus competing systems |
| ☐ | | | Very low operation and maintenance cost |
| ☐ | | | Virtually silent |
| ☐ | | | Modular design |
| ☐ | | | Low footprint |
| ☐ | | | Meets or exceeds discharge standards globally |
Biopipe currently has around 44 plants installed around the globe, and we expect significant number of projects in India and Ethiopia and limited numbers in South Africa and the Philippines. Some of these plants were installed prior to the merger agreement. We have now set up joint ventures, licensing and distribution in five countries.
Abrimix is an industrial effluent treatment technology. It is an innovative technology that applies “shear” to increase the kinetics and completeness of reactions within aqueous solutions. The Abrimix Technology can be applied to various influents where certain reactions are desired to achieve the dissolution, oxidation, and/or precipitation of certain elements, the phase separation of ultra-fine suspended solids and the breaking of emulsions within a liquid. Abrimix (Pty) Ltd. has several plants running in South Africa and Biopipe’s subsidiary in India has done two plants in India to date under the joint venture.
The key component to the Abrimix Technology is the powerful static in-line mixer or “Reaction Enhancing Unit.” This patented unit improves the speed and thoroughness of liquid and gaseous chemical interactions within aqueous solutions. The unit, most commonly referred to as a High Shear Reactor (HSR), utilizes a specifically designed and researched hydrodynamic flow path that is derived from proven and sound fluid engineering mechanics.
Glanris Media is a green hybrid media made from rice hull and is extremely effective in removing heavy metals, color/turbidity, chlorine and chloramine, suspended solids and colloids, gas and oil, solvents and low molecular weight organics, as well as odors. The media can be regenerated with a weak acid. Glanris media is produced by Glanris Corp and the Company is a distributor in India.
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 and Abrimix through joint ventures, license agreements partners or distribution partners with strategic and well-established partners in the top 10 countries with sewage problems. The JV partner, license partner or distribution partner handles sales marketing, installation, operations, and maintenance. This includes India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Ethiopia, and South Africa.
Our Market
Packaged Treatment
Our decentralized wastewater treatment falls into the category of packaged wastewater technology. According to Ken Research estimates, the Global Water and Wastewater Treatment Equipment Market is valued around ~US$ 50 billion by 2022 and it is further expected to reach a market size of ~US$ 75 billion opportunity by 2028. The key drivers are (a) rising population and rapid urbanization. According to The World Bank Group, the urban population has seen a rise from 55% of the world population in 2018 to 57% of the world population in 2021, as many people from rural area shift to the urban region for better employment opportunities.
Biological Treatment
According to a report published by Research Dive, the global biological wastewater treatment market is anticipated to reach $15 billion and rising at a CAGR of 5.2% through 2031. Our Biopipe biological treatment technology, currently being applied to domestic sewage wastewater, can be applied to many other types of wastewaters. Abrimix wastewater treatment technology has the ability to treat a wide variety of industrial wastewaters.
Countries We Operate In:
India
Biopipe Global has a 99% owned subsidiary in Biopipe India Private Ltd. for our operations in India.
India possesses 4% of the world’s water resources and is home to 17.7% of the world’s population and ranks 13th for overall water stress. India is also recognized as one of the world’s “very highly water-stressed countries” on the Aqueduct’s Water Risk Atlas, ranking 13th. (World Resources Institute, 2019).
Water stress has developed in most places due to the imbalance between local supplies and demand from people, agriculture, and industry—in 26 of India’s 32 major cities, 10%–60% of total water demand remains unmet. Two facts exacerbate the water scarcity: (i) most of India’s water sources are highly polluted; and (ii) very little wastewater is actually treated and reused, making water the other single-use resource wreaking havoc on the climate with its pollution.
It has also made it mandatory by certain state pollution control boards for apartments and commercial complexes to install STPs. India generates 72,368 million liters (MLD) of sewage every day, only 28% is treated and reused. A new report by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), states that 80% of wastewater generated by urban India has the potential to be treated and reused for non-potable purposes like irrigation, which can relieve the immense pressure on water bodies, lower pollution levels and provide water security in the face of climate crisis-induced weather events that can render water bodies unreliable. The Indian water and wastewater treatment market is on a dynamic trajectory, projected to rise from USD 1.31 billion in 2020 to an impressive USD 2.08 billion by 2025, showcasing a compelling CAGR of 9.7%.
Bangladesh
We currently have nine Biopipe STPs running in Bangladesh and we are in the process of introducing our Abrimix industrial wastewater solution under our license agreement.
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. According to www.water.org, out of its population of 165 million people, 68 million people (41% of the population) lack access to a reliable, safely managed source of water, and 100 million people (61%) lack access to safely managed household sanitation facilities. https://bdnews24.com/environment/2019/05/25/dhaka-pumps-1.1-million-cubic-metres-of-sewage-into-rivers-daily-study-says
According to official records of the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA), around 350,000 kilograms (350 metric tons) of toxic waste is dumped into rivers every day from about 7,000 industries and other residential areas in greater Dhaka and adjacent areas. Bangladesh annually discharges 1.03 billion tons of textile wastewater without treatment. The government has implemented a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) policy to address industrial wastewater discharge. Under this policy, industries are required to treat and recycle their wastewater to ensure zero discharge into water bodies.
South Africa
We currently have one Biopipe sewage treatment plant in South Africa under the 50-50 joint venture. Abrimix Pty Ltd. has eleven of its own industrial wastewater treatment plants in South Africa. The Company teamed with Abrimix to introduce Biopipe in South Africa and Abrimix’s technology in the countries we currently operate in. The agreement is for 50-50 distribution of profits.
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 what we believe is 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.
South Africa is heavily dependent on centralized wastewater treatment plants and most are not functioning well or not meeting the standards. A total of 334 (39%) of municipal wastewater systems were identified to be in a critical state in 2021, compared to 248 (29%) in 2013. A total of 102 (89%) out of the 115 DPW systems were identified in critical state, compared to 84% in 2013.
South Africa represents a huge opportunity for decentralized wastewater systems or packaged treatment plants like Biopipe. There was only one packaged treatment plant installed by the government sector. However, due to budget constraints, as well as Covid, we have not been able to penetrate the market in South Africa as we had planned. Also, we have experienced operated plant issues with Morgan Beef and we have to upgrade the plant to produce better quality effluent. For South Africa, we expect business activity to pick up in the second half of fiscal year 2024.

Capex Advantage
Biopipe has considerable advantages over other packaged or decentralized wastewater treatment technologies when it comes to operating cost. It currently costs circa $2,550,000 per 1000m3 for a centralized system which involves $1,481,000 per 1000m3 capex on reticulated sewerage, circa $162,000 per 1000m3 for main sewer lines and $891,890 per 1000m3 on conventional treatment plant. Biopipe offers considerably lower capex.
Opex Advantage
The average cost to treat 1 m3 of wastewater is circa $1/m3 and median cost is $0.48/m3, with the latter giving a more representative estimate of treatment cost. Biopipe does not use energy hogging blowers for aeration, dosing of chemicals and minimal maintenance.

Ethiopia
On October 1, 2019, we entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement with Tesurcon Trading PLC . Under the agreement, we have been working in Ethiopia for the past 3 years to develop the market for our Biopipe system. The exercise started with a shipment of a demo plant in 2021 to the Ministry of Water & Irrigation. Due to political uncertainty and longer government approval process, we were able to finally install and commission the demo plant at the Ministry of Water & Irrigation facility in 2023. Since then, we have concluded one commercial sale and currently have a robust pipeline of projects.
Ethiopia is considered water-stressed because the rapid population growth over the last decade has put a strain on its abundant water sources. Despite estimations showing that 13.5 to 28 billion cubic meters of renewable annual groundwater is available per year, only 2.6 billion cubic meters is usable. According to the UNICEF/WHO Joint Monitoring Program, only half of the population in Ethiopia has access to basic water services, while less than 10 percent of the population can access basic sanitation services. Access to basic WASH services is substantially lower among rural populations than urban. As of 2020, only 40 percent of Ethiopia’s rural population could access basic water, compared with 84 percent in urban areas. Rural and urban access to at least basic sanitation reflects a similarly large gap with only five percent of the rural population having access compared to 21 percent of the urban. Since 78 percent (93.6 million people) of Ethiopia’s total population resides in rural areas, overcoming these access gaps is key to Ethiopia’s national development. On the other hand, rapid urban population growth is estimated to be nearly five percent per year. This puts pressure on the need to maintain and expand water and sanitation infrastructure in Ethiopia’s cities and small towns.
Sanitation and water deficit remains a problem. According to a 2021 Joint Monitoring Program, only 7 percent of the households in Ethiopia have an individual toilet where fecal waste ends up safely disposed of and treated in situ or offsite.
The Philippines
We have a joint venture with Bpipe Corporation on a 40-60 basis.
The Philippines has the two factors that cause us to operate there (a) water deficit and (b) sanitation deficit. According to UNICEF, around 50.3 million Filipinos (around 10 million families) do not have access to safely managed sanitation services and of these some 24 million use limited/unimproved toilets or none at all. The main sources of water pollution include:
| • | untreated domestic (also called ‘municipal’) wastewater discharges (33%); |
| • | industrial sources (27%); |
| • | agriculture and livestock (29%); |
| • | and non-point sources such as agricultural farms (11%). |
The pollution of Philippine waters comes for a significant part from untreated domestic and industrial wastewater. Only about five percent of households are connected to sewerage networks and treatment facilities. In Metro Manila alone, approximately 2,000 cubic meters of solvent wastes, 22,000 tons of heavy metals, infectious wastes, biological sludge, lubricants, and intractable wastes, as well as 25 million cubic meters of acid/alkaline liquid wastes are improperly disposed of annually.
Our principal place of business is located at 100 Challenger Road, 8th Floor Ridgefield Park, NJ 07660. General information about us can be found at http://biopipe.co/.

Our total revenue reported for the year ended May 31, 2023, was $149,806, compared with $349,297 for the year ended May 31, 2022.
Our revenues fiscal year ended 2023 revenue declined largely due to delays in a major government tender that was pushed out into fiscal year 2024, lack of sales activity in Bangladesh due to shortage of hard currency and delays in getting our demo plant commissioned on time. We could not generate any revenue from our South African operated plant due to issues with Morgan Beef and need for upgrading the plant to produce better quality effluent. The key issues involved generation of wastewater at twice the capacity of the designed plant, high variability in incoming wastewater, management turnover at Morgan Beef and suspension of its export license due to outbreak of foot and mouth disease. Additionally, the client would like the water to be treated to point where the treated water can be used for washing the inside of the abattoir. Unless we experience continued setbacks, such as those described above, we expect business activity to pick up in the second half of fiscal year 2024 after the plant upgrade is completed. We have selected an engineering procurement and construction (EPC) company to provide the secondary and tertiary treatments to meet the client’s quality and volume needs. Our Biopipe sewage treatment technology was selected as the technology of choice in a municipal tender involving twenty-one plants. We are in the middle of final negotiations of the terms with the general contractor who has won the tender. All plants have to delivered within the next twelve months. Additionally, we have entered into an agreement with a channel partner in India which has already secured one contract and upon successful commissioning of the 200 m3/day plant, expect additional orders of two 400 m3/day plants. We are also seeing strong activity in Ethiopia where Biopipe has been approved by the government. We shipped our first commercial plant after successfully demonstrating the efficiency of Biopipe system at Ministry of Water and Irrigation.
Cost of Revenues
Our total cost of revenues for the year ended May 31, 2023, was to $111,936 compared with $258,336 for the year ended May 31, 2022. Our gross margins were relatively stable year over year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses declined to $307,324 for the year ended May 31, 2023, from $378,564 for the year ended May 31, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses is largely the result of a decline in professional fees and wages.
We expect our operating expenses will increase in future quarters with the expenses for professional fees in connection with this offering, as well as increased operational activity.
Other Expenses/Other Income
We had other expenses of $41,959 for the year ended May 31, 2023, as compared with other expenses of $24,641 for the year ended 2022. We booked an expense on the Bangladesh joint venture, which was dissolved and our relationship with restructured into a licensing agreement. We also booked an expense based on fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Each foreign entity maintains the books in the foreign currency and then translates them to USD for the financial statements, which results in fluctuations throughout the year.
Net Loss
We finished the year ended May 31, 2023, with a loss of $379,714, as compared to a net loss of $217,338 during the year ended May 31, 2022.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended November 30, 2023 and 2022
Revenues
Our total revenue reported for the six months ended November 30, 2023, was $42,251, compared with $45,591 for the six months ended November 30, 2022. The decrease in revenues is the result of delays in delivery and commissioning of two new plants. Additionally, a tender in which our Biopipe STP was selected as the system of choice was delayed and was opened in April of 2023.
Cost of Revenues
Our total cost of revenues for the six months ended November 30, 2023, was to $23,464 compared with $6,441 for the six months ended November 30, 2022. The increase in cost of revenues is the result of purchases of high sheer reactors from Abrimix Pty Ltd.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses declined to $100,730 for the six months ended November 30, 2023, from $150,374 for the six months ended November 30, 2022. The decrease in operating expenses is the result of decline in SG&A.
We expect our operating expenses will increase in future quarters with the expenses for professional fees in connection with this offering, as well as increased operational activity.
Other Expenses/Other Income
We had other income of $79 for the six months ended November 30, 2023, as compared with other expenses of $88,570 for the six months ended November 30, 2022. The other expenses in 2022 were the result of loss of $92,227 from dissolution of the joint venture in Bangladesh.
Net Loss
We finished the six months ended November 30, 2023, with a loss of $89,725, as compared to a net loss of $261,393 during the six months ended November 30, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of November 30, 2023, we had total current assets of $345,591 and current liabilities of $101,349, resulting in working capital of $244,242 as of November 20, 2023, as compared with working capital of $228,480 at May 31, 2023.
Our operating activities used $259,141 in cash for the year ended May 31, 2023, as compared with cash used of $242,929 from operating activities in the year ended May 31, 2022. Our negative operating cash flow for 2023 was mainly the result of changes in accounts receivable, net operating loss and net loss allocated to noncontrolling interest.
Our operating activities used $52,865 in cash for the six months ended November 30, 2023, as compared with cash used of $143,009 from operating activities in the six months ended November 30, 2022. Our negative operating cash flow for 2023 was mainly the result of our net loss for the period, offset by adjustments to operating activities.
Our investing activities provided $38,679 for the year ended May 31, 2023, as compared with net cash used of $397,847 for the year ended May 31, 2022. Our positive investing cash flow in 2023 is the result of changes to the basis of purchased fixed assets from foreign currency.
Our investing activities used $750 for the six months ended November 30, 2023, as compared with net cash provided of $38,849 for the six months ended November 30, 2022. Our negative investing cash flow in 2023 is the result of changes in the fixed asset basis from foreign currency.
Financing activities provided $11,500 in cash for the six months ended November 30, 2023, compared with $12,942 in cash provided in the six months ended November 30, 2022. Our positive financing cash flow was mainly the result of sale of common sure pursuant to Reg D.
Based upon our current financial condition, we have sufficient capital to operate our business for the next twelve months at the current levels, but we lack funds for our expansion efforts. We are seeking financing to upgrade our operating plant at Morgan Beef Pty Ltd. in South Africa, to finance government tenders and work orders received from Eagle Infrastructure Ltd. where we must supply 21 Biopipe sewage wastewater treatment plants in India and to ramp up the marketing of our products. We intend to fund these expansion efforts through this offering, or through increased sales and debt and/or equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund expenditures or other cash requirements. 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 years ended May 31, 2023 and 2022 or for the six months ended November 30, 2023.
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 November 30, 2023, 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 yearend 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.
RISK FACTORS
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 Our Financial Condition
We have limited cash on hand and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
As at November 30, 2023, we had cash on hand of $303,531 and we had working capital of $244,242. While this is enough to operate at present levels for the next 12 months, our current capital resources 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 purchase orders, government tenders, upgrading of Morgan Beef Build Own & Operate plant, and other initiatives. We also expect to experience negative cash flow in 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 thereafter maintain profitability. As of November 30, 2023, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,401,511and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to generate significant revenues, achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.
Risk Factors Related to Our Business
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, license and distribution 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, Licensors and Distributors
Our success depends on the ability of our joint venture, license and distribution partners to effectively market, install and support our wastewater treatment systems. Acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, or alliances could be difficult to identify, pose integration challenges, divert the attention of management, disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value, and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We have in the past and may in the future seek to obtain joint venture, license, and distribution partners that we believe could complement or expand product offerings, enhance our technology, or otherwise offer growth opportunities.
Any such transaction may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable opportunities, whether or not the transactions are completed, and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. Any such transactions that we are able to complete may not result in synergies or other benefits we expect to achieve, which could result in substantial impairment charges. These transactions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
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. Our offshore operating entities carry general liability insurance. The company uses off-the-shelf components which our covered by manufacturer warranties.
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.
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.
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), municipal projects requiring bank guarantees and purchase order financing 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.
Failure to comply with 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.
Risks Related to Insiders and Control Persons
Insiders will continue to have substantial control over us and our policies after this offering and will be able to influence corporate matters.
Enes Kutluca, our COO and director, owns 20,802,342 shares of our common stock representing 20.93% of our outstanding shares. Mr. Kutluca also has an option to purchase 10% of our outstanding common stock. The option is exercisable at market price and subject to vesting. Max Khan, our CEO and director, has the same option as Mr. Kutluca. These options commence, as stated in their respective employment agreements, upon the company adopting a stock option plan, which has not yet occurred and the board of directors has stated that it does not expect to adopt a plan until second half of 2024. Fifty percent (50%) of the options shall vest on the date a stock option plan is adopted and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the options shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date a stock option plan is adopted by the company.
Once the stock option plan is adopted, these shareholders will have the right to acquire approximately 20% of our outstanding common stock. Even after the offering, these officers and shareholders, whose interests may differ from other stockholders, have the ability to exercise significant control over us. They are able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, and any change of control of our company. They could prevent transactions, which would be in the best interests of the other shareholders. Their interests may not necessarily be in the best interests of the shareholders in general.
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.
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.
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.
Members of our Board and our executive officers may have other business interests and obligations to other entities.
Neither our directors nor our executive officers will be required to manage our company as their sole and exclusive function and they may have other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those relating to our company, provided that such activities do not compete with the business of our company. We are dependent on our directors and executive officers to successfully operate our company, and in particular Max Khan and Mehmet Enes Kutluca. Their other business interests and activities could divert time and attention from operating our business.
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.
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 environmental companies; |
| • | 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; |
| • | 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.
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.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
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.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
LifeQuest World Corp., through its our wholly owned subsidiary, BioPipe Global Corp., is a wastewater treatment company with world’s only sludge free onsite wastewater 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.
As a result of the Merger Agreement, we are now engaged in eco-friendly decentralized wastewater treatment. The Company’s mission is to become a singular platform for highly efficient, scalable, low footprint onsite treatment technologies for treatment sewage wastewater and industrial wastewater. Our flagship product is Biopipe STP, (sewage wastewater treatment), which is a highly scalable and biological sewage wastewater system that treats domestic sewage into clean water ready for secondary purposes.
On May 7, 2019, under an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement, 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 STP system has been installed in Bangladesh, India, Ethiopia, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Maldives. These BioPipe systems are running successfully at hospitals, resorts, hotels, commercial and government buildings, labor camps, ports and individual homes.
On September 26, 2019, the Company entered into a 50-50 joint venture and technology transfer agreement with South Africa based, Abrimix Pty Ltd. The purpose of the agreement was to introduce our Biopipe STP into southern Africa and eventually introduce Abrimix in the countries we operate in. Abrimix is a patented, low footprint, scalable industrial wastewater treatment technology with the ability to treat a wide variety of industrial wastewater. Due to disruptions related to Covid-19 and a lack of funding, the parties to the joint venture dissolved the venture and, on June 1, 2022, a technology license agreement was put in place. Under the licensing agreement, the prior joint venture partner, Biotech Innovations Ltd. is required to pay 7.5% of net revenues.
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 supply wastewater treatment systems in countries that have water and sanitation deficits and low sewerage connections. 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 wastewater 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.
BioPipe is a revolutionary onsite wastewater treatment system which 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 footprint which allows it to be installed in places of high population density and commercial buildings; |
| • | very low energy consumption; and |
| • | discharge meets strict European Union standards. |
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.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Due to climate change, there is an ever-increasing focus on sustainability and the circular economy. As a result, green capital investment is expected to reach $6 trillion with nearly $400 billion expected to be spent on water.

Regulations:
Governments throughout the world are increasingly tightening environmental regulations. Other than renewable energy, treatment and reuse of water is becoming critical due to water deficits, tightening discharge standards and mortality caused by water pollution.
Corporates and investors also see regulations as potentially helping to drive water demand efficiency optimization solutions.
The United Nations estimates that some 1.8 billion people hailing from countries around the globe drink water that is contaminated with fecal matter. Drinking poop-infused water can result in serious illnesses like dysentery, typhoid, and polio rearing their ugly heads. Globally, nearly 1.2 trillion gallons of untreated wastewater back into bodies of water, ranging from the vast ocean to tiny streams that go on to form rivers. It is now estimated that circa 47 percent of people around the globe will struggle to find sufficient stores of drinking water by 2050.
According to the study conducted by Acumen Research and Consulting (ARC), (2019), the market size of the global industrial wastewater treatment is poised to increase up to the US $16.5 billion by 2026 with an average growth rate of 4.5% CAGR. A report published by UN Water, UNESCO in 2017, highlighted that approximately 70% of the wastewater both municipal and industrial is treated in high-income countries as compared to upper-middle-income countries (38%) and lower-middle-income countries (28%), whereas, the lower-income countries are limited to only 8%. Considering the existing patterns, it is anticipated that approximately 80% of the global wastewater is discharged without any treatment.
Approximately 3,575,000 people die from water related diseases each year and nearly 5.2 billion people do not have access to sewage system.
High capex: Although rapid progress is being made in treatment of industrial wastewater, high capital investment requirement, inefficient treatment options, and lack of infrastructure remain a high hurdle. The concepts, such as the circular economy (CE), partitions-release-recover (PRR), and transforming wastewater into bio factory are anticipated to be more convenient options to tackle the industrial wastewater problem.
Rising water consumption:
According to the United Nations, global freshwater demand predicted to exceed supply by 40% by 2030 with agriculture accounting for 70% of the total consumption. The problem has been exacerbated by rising salinity throughout the world due to rising see levels and catastrophic storms.

Our Solutions
SEWAGE WASTEWATER TREATEMENT
Biopipe Global AG (Switzerland), established in 2014 and acquired by Lifequest World Corp in 2019 via its wholly owned operating subsidiary, Biopipe Global Corp., is the 1st patented 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.
Biopipe currently has around 44 plants installed around the globe, and we expect significant number of projects in India and Ethiopia and limited numbers in South Africa and the Philippines. Some of these plants were installed prior to the merger agreement. We have now set up joint ventures, licensing and distribution in five countries at government and commercial buildings, hotels, resorts, labor camps and residences.
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.
The Abrimix ETP
Abrimix is a versatile technology for treating a wide variety of industrial wastewater. The Abrimix Wastewater Treatment Plant is a proven and patented technology that effectively separates suspended solids and organic/inorganic contaminants from the wastewaters of processing plants. The Abrimix Plant is also able to effectively separate and break emulsions within liquids allowing for the separation of suspended solids.
The Abrimix Treatment Plant utilizes a proprietary technology mixer, the Abrimix HSR, and a gravity assisted separation column, the Abrimix SSF column, to achieve desired treated water results with high efficiency.
The Abrimix HSR imparts a high-speed mixing regime within an elevated pressure environment, allowing reagents to be quickly and efficiently dispersed into the wastewater. As the water travels from the Abrimix HSR to the Abrimix SSF column, the utilization of custom sized micro bubbles added to the elevated pressure environment allows for the distinct separation of suspended solids and water, pushing moisture-reduced suspended solids to the top of the Abrimix SSF column and treated water to the bottom. Treated water can be further polished, depending on end-use, by the addition of a tertiary filter. This gravity assisted system reduces electricity consumption and eliminates the need for sludge dewatering equipment. However, to be on safer side we have considered the dewatering unit in this process.
The rapid rate of reaction and separation achieved with the use of the Abrimix treatment plant through which the wastewater passes accounts for the benefits obtained with improved results and reduced reagent consumptions.
The Main Benefits of the Abrimix Treatment Plant are:
| • | | Can handle variable water contamination qualities |
| • | | Can handle variable suspended solids loading |
| • | | Can handle variable flow rates |
| • | | Reduced treatment time due to high efficiency |
| • | | Reduced Reagent consumption |
| • | | Reduced OPEX costs |
| • | | Reusable Water Discharge |
| • | | Small Plant Footprint |
We have sold two plants in India- a 5m3/hour gooseberry processing plant and a 350m3/day for a pharmaceutical API manufacturer. Both plants were done on a capex basis and operations and maintenance is done by our subsidiary in India. The pharma plant is expected to be commissioned in first quarter of 2024.

Decentralized (Onsite) Wastewater Treatment Market
A centralized system requires a far-reaching network of pumps and pipelines to transport the collected wastewater to a central installation for treatment prior to discharge and/or reuse. Wastewater treatment systems that have small foot print, mobile, plug and play solutions like Biopipe and Abrimix are highly desirable. They require very little onsite infrastructure and 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.
Competition
The packaged wastewater treatment market is highly competitive. We compete against the following established technologies:
MBBRs biologically treat wastewater by circulating moving media in aerobic, activated-sludge environments. The moving media is typically a floating plastic substrate colonized by a community of bacteria. These bacteria form a biofilm on the plastic surface. Increased levels of biofilm enhance the biological treatment process by introducing a more robust microbial community. In addition to the biofilm attached to the plastic carriers, biomass in the system also exists in the form of suspended flocks. At smaller scales*in India, MBBR tanks were found to be constructed of reinforced concrete or mild steel. Some suppliers also offer fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) tanks.
SBR (Sequence Batch Reactor)
SBRs are based on the activated-sludge treatment process. SBRs use a batch approach in which secondary sewage treatment occurs in a single tank. In the first stage of SBR treatment, influent is added to the batch-reactor tank and aerated. Following aeration, the wastewater is allowed to settle. Finally, the treated wastewater is removed from the top of the tank using a decanter valve, pump, or airlift tube. At smaller scale SBR tanks can be constructed with reinforced concrete or mild steel.
MBR (Membrane Bioreactor)
Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) combine two treatments processes: the activated-sludge process and membrane filtration. Wastewater is first aerated in a bioreactor tank, where microorganisms are present in the form of suspended flocks. Then, a microporous membrane is used for solid/liquid separation. This configuration eliminates the need for secondary clarifiers. For smaller plants steel tanks are used, which reduces the civil costs (or costs associated with constructing reinforced concrete structures—e.g., tanks, foundations). Note that MBRs can also be added to existing MBBRs as retrofits.
DAF (Dissolved Air Floatation) INDUSTRIAL ETP
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) clarifier systems are advanced separators for the treatment of industrial wastewater. DAF systems separate suspended solids, oils, and fats together with all the pollutants associated with them. This technology applies dissolved air in the form of microbubbles that drag the buoyant solids to the surface of the equipment where skimmers eliminate them. After this process, a clear effluent is discharged from the DAF system.
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.

The Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $0.001 per share, super voting rights and every share of Series B Preferred Stock may convert into 240 shares of common stock. To date, the company has not issued any shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
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.
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.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Options
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any options to purchase shares of our common stock but we do anticipate establishing employee stock option plans in the second half of 2024.

Market Information
Our common stock is quoted under the symbol “LQWC” on the OTC Pink 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.

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.
Committees of the Board
Our full board serves the functions that would normally be served by a separately-designated Audit Committee, Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee. Further, we do not have an audit committee financial expert on the Board.
Code of Ethics
We do not have a code of ethics but we plan to adopt one this fiscal year.
Conflicts of Interest
No member of management will be required by us to work on a full-time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officers and directors in that they may have other business interests currently and in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. Our officers and directors have other business interests in companies other than ours. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer's understanding of his fiduciary duties to the Company.
Currently we have only two officers and directors. We will seek to add additional officers and/or directors as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.
In an effort to resolve such potential conflicts of interest, our officers and directors have agreed that any opportunities that they are aware of independently or directly through their association with us (as opposed to disclosure to them of such business opportunities by management or consultants associated with other entities) would be presented by them solely to us.
We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
LifeQuest World Corporation 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.
On September 26, 2019, Biopipe Africa Ltd., 50% owned joint venture was established. As of May 31, 2023 the other 50% joint owner has not contributed required capital, the subscription receivable is therefore considered impaired. See Note 6 for additional discussion.
On April 19, 2022, Biopipe India, 99% owned subsidiary was established. See Note 6 for additional discussion.
Collectively LifeQuest World Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary are collectively referred herein as “the Company.”
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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. The following policies are considered to be significant:
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of LifeQuest World Corporation, and its 50% owned subsidiary BioPipe Africa LTD, and its 70% owned subsidiary Aquity Capital Ltd, and its 99% owned subsidiary Biopipe India Private Limited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated 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
The Company 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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023, the Company had in its bank accounts $57,235 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 involve the exercise of judgment. 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.
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.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)
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 on products based on a percentage of completion methodology.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are stated at the amount billed to the Company’s customer. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions.
Accounts receivable is ordinarily due 30 days after the issuance of the invoice. Accounts past due more than 120 days are considered delinquent unless determined otherwise by Company’s management. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer.
NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
The Company has incurred losses since inception and incurred an operating loss for the year ended May 31, 2023 due to Covid-19 related disruption which disrupted business through first half of 2022, the Company had an operating loss of $379,714.
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, here can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts. The Company has adequate working capital for the foreseeable future.
NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
Convertible Notes
On November 7, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $25,000. The note is due on demand and bears interest at 12% per annum. The loan and any accrued interest can then be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $0.01 per share of common stock. Because of the discounted conversion price, a beneficial conversion feature of $25,000 was recorded as a discount to the notes with the offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. As of August 30, 2019, $25,000 of the debt discount was amortized.
On December 4, 2018, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $23,000. The note is due on demand and bears interest at 12% per annum. The loan and any accrued interest can then be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $0.01 per share of common stock. Because of the discounted conversion price, a beneficial conversion feature of $22,000 was recorded as a discount to the notes with the offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. As of August 30, 2019, $23,000 of the debt discount was amortized.
On February 20, 2019, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $40,000. The note is due on demand and bears interest at 12% per annum. The loan and any accrued interest can then be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a rate of $0.01 per share of common stock. Because of the discounted conversion price, a beneficial conversion feature of $40,000 was recorded as a discount to the notes with the offset to Additional Paid-in Capital. As of August 30, 2019, $40,000 of the debt discount was amortized.
All three of the above notes were settled on June 18, 2019, as part of the stock issuance mentioned in the settlement agreement below.
Settlement Agreements
On June 18, 2019, the Company entered into a certain settlement agreement with a shareholder of certain note payables in the amount of $88,000 including accrued interest for 12,571,000 shares of common stock. As of August 31, 2022, the Company had issued 12,571,000 shares of common stock.

LifeQuest World Corporation, Inc. and subsidiaries
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2023 and 2022
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
LifeQuest World Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota on November 1, 1997. The Company originally developed and distributed dietary supplements. The shares of the Company trade on the OTC Markets under the symbol, “LQWC.”
On April 17, 2019, the Company 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, 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 |
| • | The Company’s 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, the Company is now engaged in eco-friendly decentralized wastewater treatment. The Company’s mission is to become a singular platform for highly efficient, scalable, low footprint onsite treatment technologies for treatment sewage wastewater and industrial wastewater. The Company’s flagship product is Biopipe STP, (sewage wastewater treatment), which is a highly scalable and biological sewage wastewater system that treats domestic sewage into clean water ready for secondary purposes.
On May 7, 2019, under an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement, BioPipe Global acquired all the assets of BioPipe Global AG, a Swiss company, and its wholly-owned Turkish subsidiary, BioPipe Cevre Teknolojileri A.S. The Company 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 STP system has been installed in Bangladesh, India, Ethiopia, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Maldives. These BioPipe systems are running successfully at hospitals, resorts, hotels, commercial and government buildings, labor camps, ports and individual homes.
On September 26, 2019, Biopipe Africa Ltd., 50% owned joint venture was established. As of May 31, 2023, as a result of the lack of payment, the subscription receivable was therefore considered impaired. See Note 5 for additional discussion.
On April 19, 2022, Biopipe India, 99% owned subsidiary was established. See Note 5 for additional discussion.
Collectively LifeQuest World Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary are collectively referred herein as “the Company.”
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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. The following policies are considered to be significant:
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of LifeQuest World Corporation, its 100% owned subsidiary, BioPipe Global Corp., its 50% owned subsidiary BioPipe Africa LTD, and its 70% owned subsidiary Aquity Capital Ltd, and its 99% owned subsidiary Biopipe India Private Limited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
Basis of Accounting
The consolidated 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
The Company 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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company 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 quarters s ended November 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
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 November 30, 2023, the Company had in its bank accounts $37,743 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 involve the exercise of judgment. 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 on products based on a percentage of completion methodology.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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.
