QS Energy, Inc. reported significant financial challenges in its latest 10-Q filing for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. The company recorded no revenue for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, maintaining a trend from the previous year. Operating expenses surged to $12.05 million for the nine-month period, a stark increase from $758,000 in the same period of 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a rise in non-cash expenses, including stock compensation, which accounted for a substantial portion of the total expenses. The net loss for the nine months reached $13.78 million, compared to a loss of $1.15 million in the prior year, reflecting a deterioration in financial performance.
The company’s balance sheet as of September 30, 2025, showed total assets of $104,000, a decrease from $164,000 at the end of 2024. Current liabilities remained relatively stable at $5.55 million, with a stockholders' deficit of $5.45 million. Notably, the company has 42 convertible notes payable totaling $1.07 million that are past due, raising concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company had only $49,000 in cash on hand, which management estimates will last until December 2025, underscoring the urgent need for additional funding.
Strategically, QS Energy has been focusing on its Applied Oil Technology (AOT), which aims to enhance oil transport efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The company has entered into a Distributor Agreement with VIPS Petroleum to promote and sell its AOT product in several territories, including Malaysia and India. However, as of the filing date, no purchase orders had been received under this agreement, and the company has not yet generated any revenue from these efforts. The company is also considering dissolving its subsidiary, QS Energy Pool, Inc., to cut costs.
Operationally, QS Energy has ramped up its research and development expenditures, which totaled $1.40 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $143,000 in the same period of 2024. This increase reflects the company's commitment to advancing its AOT technology, although it has yet to achieve commercial acceptance. The company has also initiated preparations for a flow loop in Corpus Christi, Texas, to conduct operational trials of the AOT under live-flow conditions, which it hopes will lead to further testing and eventual deployment.
Looking ahead, QS Energy's management has expressed substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue operations without raising additional capital. The company is actively seeking funding through the issuance of debt and equity securities to support its ongoing operations and product development. However, there are no assurances that such financing will be available or on favorable terms. The company’s future hinges on its ability to secure contracts for its AOT technology and to navigate the financial challenges it currently faces.
