(Energy Quest or the Company), have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Energy Quests Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein.  The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the full year.  Notes to the consolidated financial statements which substantially duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2009 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.



2.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses from operations since inception and at September 30, 2010, has a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit that creates substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.  These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.  The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there-from, and/or raises equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations.  Management plans to raise equity financings over the next twelve months to finance operations.  There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to complete any of these objectives.



3.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Convertible Debt

On January 29, 2010, the Company borrowed $50,000 from a private investor and issued a callable convertible note with an 8% interest rate, 22% interest rate upon default and a maturity of nine months.  The Company paid a finders fee of $2,500.  The note is convertible into common shares at 55% of the average of the lowest three closing prices for the Companys common shares during the ten trading day period ending one trading day prior to the date the conversion notice is sent by the investor to the borrower.

The embedded conversion option contains a reset provision that can cause an adjustment to the conversion price if the Company sells or issues an equity instrument at a price lower than the initial conversion price.  Due to this provision, the embedded conversion option qualifies for derivative accounting under ASC 815-15 (See Note 8 below).  This fair value of the derivative liability at issuance of $81,995 resulted in a full discount to the note payable and a loss on the fair value of derivatives of $31,995.The carrying value of the convertible note is to be accreted over the term of the convertible note up to its face value of $50,000.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2010, $21,000 was converted into 272,704 common shares.  As at September 30, 2010, the carrying values of the convertible note and accrued convertible interest payable thereon were $25,920 and $2,540, respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $46,920 as the accretion of interest expense on the convertible note and recorded the cost associated with obtaining the convertible note as deferred financing cost of $2,500 on February8, 2010.  As of September 30, 2010, the Company recorded $2,143 on amortization of the deferred financing cost.

6.

Equity



a.

On June 5, 2010, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares pursuant to a private placement at $0.05 per share for cash proceeds of $100,000.



b.

On August 9, 2010, the Company issued 43,580 common shares upon the partial conversion of the Note referred to in Note 5.



c.

On August 16, 2010, the Company issued 58,766 common shares upon the partial conversion of the Note referred to in Note 5.

e.

On September 22, 2010, the Company issued 170,358 common shares upon the partial conversion of the Note referred to in Note 5.



7.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 825 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  In determining fair value for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  A financial instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  ASC 825 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

Level 1 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market and do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Level 2 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are other than Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.  Level 2 instruments require more management judgment and subjectivity as compared to Level 1 instruments.  For instance: determining which instruments are most similar to the instrument being priced requires management to identify a sample of similar securities based on the coupon rates, maturity, issuer, credit rating and instrument type, and subjectively select an individual security or multiple securities that are deemed most similar to the security being priced; and determining whether a market is considered active requires management judgment.

Level 3 applies to assets and liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  The determination of fair value for Level 3 instruments requires the most management judgment and subjectivity.

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair values of the cash equivalents and investment securities are determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.  Convertible notes payable are valued based on Level 2 inputs, consisting of quoted prices in less active markets.  The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations.



8.

Derivative Liability

ASC 815-15lays out a procedure to determine if an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own common stock.

Convertible Debt - The embedded conversion option in the Companys $50,000 note described in Note 5 contains a reset provision that can cause an adjustment to the conversion price if the Company sells or issues an equity instrument at a price lower than the initial conversion price.  The fair value of these liabilities will be re-measured at the end of every reporting period and the change in fair value will be reported in our consolidated statement of operations as a gain or loss on derivative financial instruments.

The following table summarizes the change in derivative liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010:

|                                                   |                       
|-------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------
|Derivative Liabilities at December 31, 2009        | $                    
|Addition of new derivative liabilities             | 81,995                
|Change in fair value of embedded conversion option | (48,771)              
|Derivative Liabilities at September 30, 2010       | $         33,224      

The following table summarizes the loss on derivatives for the nine months ended September 30, 2010:

|                                                                         |                
|------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------
|Fair value of derivative liabilities in excess of note proceeds received | $        36,573
|Change in fair value of derivative liabilities at September 30, 2010     | (7,925)        
|Loss on derivative liabilities                                           | $ 28,648       

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the embedded conversion feature using the following assumptions: number of options as set forth in the convertible note agreements; no expected dividend yield; expected volatility ranging from 212% - 534%; risk-free interest rates ranging from 0.15% - 0.24% and expected terms based on the contractual term.

Overview



We are engaged in the development and production of hydrogen-enriched alternative fuels.  We plan to employ gasification technologies and catalytic conversion processes to produce clean fuels.  We design, build, lease and in some cases operate the gasification technologies with broad potential application within the energy field.  Our various technologies allow for the use of steam for reformation of coal and other carbonaceous feedstocks, conversion of waste solid fuel sources into gaseous form and allow for incineration of waste in an environmentally friendly manner.



We have one wholly-owned subsidiary, Syngas Energy Corp., and its principal business involves an integrated gasification production system technology that combines modern gasification with turbine technologies to produce synthetic gas, hydrogen or electricity.



On May 31, 2010, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with ZAO Transmashholding, a company registered in Moscow, Russia.  The business purpose of the Joint Venture is to use the knowledge, connections and efforts of both parties to enhance their financial capacities in order to achieve their common business goals.  Transmashholding has set up a bank account with $102,368,000 (Rub 3,200,000,000) to act as collateral for the Joint Venture to acquire lines of credit for financing its business projects.  We are solely responsible for acquiring the lines of credit against the provided collateral, and will assume the main responsibility of finding and arranging investment opportunities for the Joint Venture.  All revenues generated by the Joint Venture will be divided equally between both parties.  Each party will be responsible for their own costs and neither party shall be liable for mistakes made by the other.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of September 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $13,192 and a working capital deficiency of $820,138.  As of September 30, 2010 our accumulated deficit was $7,035,202.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 our net loss was $547,409 compared to $761,393 during the same period in 2009.  This decrease was due mostly to lower consulting and management fees.



Our loss was funded by proceeds from shareholder loans.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we raised in net proceeds $197,500 through financing activities and our cash position increased by $12,376.



We used net cash of $175,260 in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to net cash of $170,447 in operating activities for the same period in 2009.  We did not use any money in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 nor did we use any money for investing activities during the same period in 2009.  The effect of exchange rates on cash was an increase in cash of $284 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to an increase of $366 during nine months ended September 30, 2009.



During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 our monthly cash requirement was approximately $20,623, compared to approximately $18,939 for the same period in 2009.  We expect to require a total of approximately $26,585,000 to fully carry out our business plan over the next twelve months beginning December 2010 as set out in this table:

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that we are a going concern, meaning we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.  Different bases of measurement may be appropriate when a company is not expected to continue operations for the foreseeable future.  Our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds there-from, and/or raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations.  Management plans to raise equity financings over the next twelve months to finance operations.  There is no guarantee that we will be able to complete any of these objectives.  We have incurred losses from operations since inception and at September 30, 2010, have a working capital deficiency and an accumulated deficit that creates substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.



We intend to raise funds to meet our cash requirements (approximately $26,572,000) from private placements, loans, or possibly a registered public offering (either self-underwritten or through a broker-dealer) within the next few months.  At this time we do not have any commitments from any broker-dealer to provide us with financing.  There is no guarantee that we will be successful in raising any capital.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such additional funds on favorable terms, if at all.  If we fail in raising capital, our business may fail and we may curtail or cease our operations.



Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 and from inception to September 30, 2010.



Limited Revenues



Since our inception on December 14, 2004 to September 30, 2010, we have earned limited revenue of $5,164.  As of September 30, 2010, we have an accumulated deficit of $7,035,202 and we did not earn any revenues during the three months ending on September 30, 2010.  At this time, our ability to generate any significant revenues continues to be uncertain.  Our financial statements contain an additional explanatory paragraph in Note 2, which identifies issues that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.



Net Loss



We incurred a net loss of $220,595 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $320,200 for the same period in 2009.  This decrease in net loss is mostly due to lower consulting and management fees and research and development expenses.  From inception on December 14, 2004 to September 30, 2010, we have incurred a net loss of $7,035,202.  Our basic and diluted loss per share was $0.01 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, $0.03 for the same period in 2009.

|
|



Our total operating expenses decreased from $319,536 to $175,857 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease in expenses is mostly due to lower consulting and management fees.  Since our inception on December 14, 2004 to September 30, 2010, we have incurred total operating expenses of $7,064,008.



Our consulting and management fees decreased $202,500 from $238,500 to $36,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease was largely due to lower payments made to our consultants.  Since our inception on December 14, 2004 until September 30, 2010 we have spent $5,327,394 on consulting and management fees.



Our general and administrative expenses consist of bank charges, travel, meals and entertainment, office maintenance, communication expenses (internet, fax, and telephone), courier, postage costs, office supplies.  Our general and administrative expenses increased $69,180 from $27,717 to $96,897 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  Since our inception on December 14, 2004 until September 30, 2010 we have spent $547,960 on general and administrative expenses.



We did not incur any research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $1,045 spent on research and development during the three months ended September 30, 2009.  Since our inception on December 14, 2004 until September 30, 2010 we have spent $266,494 on research and development.  Going forward, we anticipate that we will spend approximately $1,600,000 on research and development during the next 12 months.



Our professional fees, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and auditing fees, decreased by $9,314 to $5,460 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $14,774 for the same period in 2009, mainly due to slightly decreased legal and auditing services provided in the three month periods ended September 30, 2010.



Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009



Limited Revenues



We did not earn any revenues during the nine months ending on September 30, 2010, nor did we earn any revenues in the same period in 2009.  At this time, our ability to generate any significant revenues continues to be uncertain.



Net Loss



We incurred a net loss of $547,409 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to a net loss of $761,393 for the same period in 2009.  This decrease in net loss is mostly due to lower consulting and management fees.  Our basic and diluted loss per share was $0.04 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and $0.07 for the same period in 2009.

|



Our total operating expenses decreased from $759,191 to $464,308 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease in expenses is mostly due to lower consulting and management fees.  Since our inception on December 14, 2004 to September 30, 2010, we have incurred total operating expenses of $7,064,008.



Our consulting and management fees decreased $306,187 from $492,187 to $186,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.  This decrease was largely due to lower payments made to our consultants.



Our general and administrative expenses consist of bank charges, travel, meals and entertainment, office maintenance, communication expenses (internet, fax, and telephone), courier, postage costs, office supplies.  Our general and administrative expenses increased $40,682 from $82,991 to $123,673 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009.



We spent $1,500 on research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to $15,383 spent on research and development during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.



Our professional fees, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and auditing fees, decreased by $15,495 to $40,635 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $56,130 for the same period in 2009, mainly due to decreased legal and auditing services provided in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010.



Inflation



The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position.  The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



As of September 30, 2010, we had no off-balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 4T.  Control and Procedures.



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is collected and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.  The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of September 30, 2010 that, as a result of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as described further in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 12, 2010, and amended on July 6, 2010, disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective in providing reasonable assurance that material information is made known to them by others within the Company:



a)    We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of generally accepted accounting principles commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.  We have limited experience in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.  Also, we do not have an independent audit committee.  As a result, there is a lack of monitoring of the financial reporting process and there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and



b)    Due to our small size, we do not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting process.  The areas where we have a lack of segregation of duties include cash receipts and disbursements, approval of purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment.  This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.



Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting



There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.







10



|
|
|

Limitations On The Effectiveness Of Internal Controls



Our management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error.  An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and/or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
