EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") is a Colorado corporation located at 00 Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000
The Company was originally incorporated in Colorado on June 21, 2010 as Vanguard Energy Corporation. Between February 1, 2011 and June 14, 2014, it was involved in the exploration and development of oil and gas properties in southeast Texas.
It never earned a profit and in January of 2013 began investigating the possibility of selling their oil and gas properties.
The Company sold its oil and gas properties in 2014. The sale of the oil and gas properties represented the sale of substantially all of the assets.
On July 1, 2017 the Company authorized an increase in its authorized common shares to 500,000,000 and its authorized preferred shares to 10,000,000.
On July 1, 2017 the Company acquired all of the shares of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand (“SQTNZ”). These shares were purchased from Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (“SQTI”). The agreed value of that company’s assets is US$530 million. We subsequently changed our name to Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation in Colorado and with FINRA, and have also been cleared by FINRA to use the new trading symbol SQTX. The Company issued 213,402,755 new shares of common stock to SQTI in exchange for 122 (100%) of the common shares of SQTNZ. The issuance of these shares was equivalent to 95% of the Company's shares issued, after we issue an additional 10,021,224 shares of common stock to those holders of our common stock immediately prior to the acquisition. The Company does not anticipate any further reorganization of its common stock. We are currently preparing filings of all necessary reports to the SEC with audited financial statements in order to resume our status as fully reporting with the SEC, and subsequently apply to trade on the more senior OTCQX exchange or NASDAQ.
SQTNZ is a corporation that has no prior business activity other than being the title owner of the exclusive mining and development rights for two High Purity Quartz (HPQ) Silica deposits known as Quartz Hill (represented by leases ML 30235, ML 30236 and ML 30237) and White Springs (represented by leases ML 30238 and ML 30239) located in North Queensland, Australia. Together they contain in excess of 15 million tons of High Purity Quartz, which is feedstock in high demand in the marketplace to be used in the production of High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS).
HPQS is an essential primary material for the manufacture of:
| · | Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels; |
| · | Semi-conductors; and |
| · | AL High-end electronic products |
| · | Fiber Optical cables |
| · | Halogen Lamps |
| · | HD and LCD television screens. |
| · | Epoxy Mounding Compounds (EMC) |
The Company will focus on re-establishing previous Chinese orders for low-end sales of unprocessed raw quartz from the mine sites directly from the Pre-Processing Factory currently being established in Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. The SQTX management team is highly optimistic following strong indications from the Australian Federal Government's Clean Energy Fund ($ One Billion) that they may fund the first stage funding requirement of $10 million to build the Pre-Processing Factory as well as the second stage funding of US$30 million required to build the high tech HPQS production factory land to be developed con-currently with the Townsville based Pre-processing factory. These fundings are not in place at this time, but we are confident regarding the positive outcome of important high-level discussions with the Director/CEO of the Clean Energy Fund in Brisbane, Australia

___________
(1) Entitled to 10 shares of common for each share owned
The Company currently intends to retain its earnings for future growth and, therefore, do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company would expect that determinations to pay dividends on its shares would be based primarily upon the financial condition, results of operations, regulatory and business capital requirements, any restrictions contained in financing or other agreements binding upon the Company, and other factors that the board of directors deems relevant.
2. BUSINESS PLAN
The Company is proceeding to establish its new commercial production level High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS) factory. HPQS production worldwide never meets the demand from the solar Phto-Voltaic crucible and semi-conductor industries. There are only three significant commercial HPQS manufacturers worldwide. The SQTX technology team has a long established and proven track record of their technological production capability of making Solar grade HPQS in compliance with global solar and semiconductor industry quality and purity standards. SQTX’s executive management team has 6-10 years’ experience in all facets of the production of specialized HPQ products critical for the high-end solar and electronics components industry. SQTX has the added significant advantage of owning 15 million tons its own 99% pure high purity silica deposits, capable of providing 25 to 30 years supply of HPQ feed-stock for the HPQS products. SQTX is seeking to raise additional development funds of US$38 million, with an initial US$10 million, from an Industry Joint Venture partner, Equity investor or appropriate Lender.
High purity quartz (“HPQ”) and HPQ sands (“HPQS”) are extensively used during the manufacturing of mono-crystalline silicon, through the Czochralski process, in crucibles in which silicon ingots are produced for use in solar cell and all electronics, and semi-conductor manufacturing. HPQ is the only preferred material for this process and the essential crucibles, as it shares the same element (Si) and is almost non-reactive, assuring high quality silicon ingots. Apart from this, High Purity Quartz (HPQ) also finds primary applications in advanced lighting, telecom, optic and microelectronics industry. HPQS/powders are required for epoxy molding compound (EMC) used in manufacture of most electronic semiconductors, and is a fast growth sector, which includes auto electronics.
The company plans significant new funding in order to initiate revenues from exploiting its considerable resources:
Stage One – US$ 10 Million – Townsville Pre-Processing Factory “ SQ1” and “SQ5” Products
The company will initially seek $10 million to sponsor the generation of early revenue from sales of un-processed raw quartz directly from the Quartz Hill mine site. The raw quartz rock will be shipped to the new Townsville Pre-Processing Factory for low-cost preparation involving high pressure washing, crushing and sizing, ready for shipping to international markets. SQT management is confident of re-establishing previous US$ 100 Million plus orders from China and several other new emerging markets that require basic HPQ for their own “value adding” production centers. While SQTX considers generation of early sales revenues is a vital function, the Pre-Processing Factory will also produce “SQ5” Feedstock for the new Commercial Scale HPQS Factory to generate sales into the solar industry, semi-conductor and all high-end electronics markets. By building the new Townsville factory, Stage One funding will provide a base for international sales operations focusing on generating high volume, low-end sales revenues from largely unprocessed quartz. The factory is designed with more than enough production capacity to meet both SQ5 feedstock and low-end production demands.
Stage Two – US$ 20 Million - HPQS Production Factory - “SQ7” Products
These funds will be needed six (6) months after the initial US$10 million. Funds will pay for establishing the fully operational Solar Grade, or Crucible Grade HPQS manufacturing facility. The factory will focus on manufacturing Solar Grade, or Crucible Grade HPQS products to world standard purity grade HPQS, for supply to all high-end electronics manufacturers. The Solar industry utilizes SQ7 HPQS extensively. This operational segment is the most challenging, requiring almost spotless production facilities and high-tech Clean Rooms, to insure ultimate high purity standards in the production process. The SQTX technical team has a previous proven ability to meet these standards and successfully achieve appropriate production quality for solar and crucible grade HPQS.
Stage Three - US$ 8 million - Factory Up-Grade Semi-Conductor Grade-“SQ9” Products
This funding is scheduled for one year after receipts of the Stage Two funding and will be used to purchase additional high-level refining equipment and meet the cost of facility upgrades to the existing HPQS factory to facilitate production of SQ9 semi-conductor grade HPQ. This grade of HPQ is the highest purity and yields the largest profit margin. It is extensively used in the semiconductor industry for tool wear applications and has consistent market demand. Semi-conductor grade SQ9 requires SQ7 solar grade HPQS as essential feedstock to enable manufacture of SQ9 semi-conductor

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements:
BASIS OF PRESENTATION – Note 1
These unaudited consolidated financial statements of Vanguard Energy Corporation (Vanguard or the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). In the opinion of management, these financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read along with Vanguard’s audited financial statements as of September 30, 2016.
Going Concern – The Company has incurred cumulative net losses since its inception and will require capital for future operating activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise new funds through the future issuances of debt or common stock is unknown. The obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of a plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Future issuances of the Company's equity or debt securities will be required in order for the Company to finance operations and continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – Note 2
As of June 30, 2017, Vanguard’s significant accounting policies were consistent with those discussed in the audited financial statements as of September 30, 2016.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share—Basic earnings (loss) per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common and potential common shares. The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 excludes 5,374 and 62,974 shares, respectively, issuable pursuant to outstanding warrants, stock options and debt conversion features because their effect is anti-dilutive.
SUBSEQUENT EVENT – Note 3
On July 1, 2017 the company acquired all of the shares of Solar Quartz Technologies Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand (“SQTNZ”). These shares were purchased from Solar Quartz Technologies, Inc. (“SQTI”). The agreed value of that company’s assets is US$530 million. We subsequently changed our name to Solar Quartz Technologies Corporation in Colorado and with FINRA, and have also been cleared by FINRA to use the new trading symbol SQTX. In July 2017 the Company issued 213,402,755 new shares of common stock to SQTI in exchange for 122 (100%) of the common shares of SQTNZ. The issuance of these shares was equivalent to 95% of the Company's shares issued, after we issue an additional 10,021,224 shares of common stock to those holders of our common stock immediately prior to the acquisition. The Company does not anticipate any further reorganization of its common stock. We are currently preparing filing all necessary reports to the SEC with audited financial statements to resume our status as fully reporting with the SEC, and subsequently apply to trade on the more senior OTCQX exchange or NASDAQ.
SQTNZ is a corporation that has no prior business activity other than being the title owner of the exclusive mining and development rights for two High Purity Quartz (HPQ) Silica deposits known as Quartz Hill (represented by leases ML 30235, ML 30236 and ML 30237) and White Springs (represented by leases ML 30238 and ML 30239) located in North Queensland, Australia. Together they contain deposits in excess of 15 million tons of 99% pure High Purity Quartz which is feedstock in high demand in the marketplace to be used in the production of High Purity Quartz Sand (HPQS) based on independent professional reports.
HPQS is an essential primary material for the manufacture of: Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels; Semiconductors; all High-end Electronic products; Fiber Optical cables; Halogen Lamps; HD and LCD television screens; and Epoxy Mounding Compounds (EMC).
CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE – Note 4
At June 30, 2017, convertible notes totaling $70,747 remained outstanding together with accrued interest of $44,003.
INCOME TAXES – Note 5
The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Statutory tax rate changes and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur. The Company recorded no income tax expense for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017 because the Company estimates it will record no income tax expense for the tax year ending September 30, 2017. The Company has a valuation allowance that fully offsets net deferred tax assets.
5. RISK FACTORS
Investment in our Shares involves a high degree of risk and should be regarded as speculative. You should consider investing in our Shares only if you can afford the loss of your entire investment. Accordingly, you should consider carefully the following factors, in addition to the other information concerning our Company and our business contained in this Memorandum, before purchasing the Shares offered hereby. The following factors are not to be considered a definitive list of all the risks associated with an investment in our Shares.
Unanticipated obstacles to execution of business plan
Our proposed plan of operation and prospects will depend largely upon our ability to successfully establish Company's presence in a timely fashion, retain and continue to hire skilled management, technical, marketing and other personnel; and attract and retain significant numbers of quality business partners and corporate clients. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our business plan or develop or maintain future business relationships, or that unanticipated expenses, problems or technical difficulties which would result in material delays in implementation will not occur.
Competition
The market can be highly competitive. Even though there are high barriers to entry, we expect that it’s possible competition will intensify in the future. We believe that numerous factors, including price, client base, brand name, and general economic trends (particularly unfavorable economic conditions adversely affecting consumer investment), could impact the market. Increased competition could result in significant price competition, which in turn could result in lower revenues, which could materially adversely affect our potential profitability.
Over Reliance on Management
We depend on our senior management to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and business plan, and to manage employees and consultants. Our success will be dependent on the personal efforts of key personnel. Any of our officers or employees can terminate his or her employment relationship at any time, and the loss of the services of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects..
Forward Looking Statements
This Memorandum contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections about our business, our industry, and the industry of our clients. When used in this Memorandum, the words "expects," anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "believes," and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The cautionary statements made in this Memorandum should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Memorandum.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

We will afford you and your professional advisors the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, our officers concerning such matters and to obtain any additional information (to the extent we possess such information and can acquire it without unreasonable expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any information set forth in the Memorandum. All such information and materials may be requested from Xxxxx Xxx at xx@xxx.xxxxx.xxx.
Investment in the Shares involves significant risks and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity with respect to this investment and who can bear the economic risk of a complete loss of their investment. The Offering is made in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and regulations.
The suitability standards discussed below represent minimum suitability standards for prospective investors. The satisfaction of such standards by a prospective investor does not necessarily mean that the Shares are suitable investment for such prospective investor. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult their personal financial advisors to determine whether an investment in the Shares is appropriate. The Company may reject subscriptions, in whole or in part, in its absolute discretion.
The Company will require each investor to represent in writing, among other things, that (i) by reason of the investor's business or financial experience, or that of the investor's professional advisor, the investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares and of protecting its own interests in connection with the transaction (ii) the investor is acquiring the Shares for its own account, for investment only and not with a view toward the resale or distribution thereof, (iii) the investor is aware that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, (iv) the investor is aware of, and has executed and delivered, the subscription agreement to be entered into in connection with the purchase of the Shares, (v) the investor is aware of the absence of a market for the Shares, and (vi) unless otherwise approved by the Company, such investor meets the suitability requirements set forth below.
Except as set forth below, each investor must represent in writing that he or she qualifies as an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and must demonstrate the basis for such qualification. Such qualification will be outlined in detail in the Subscription Agreement.
