Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. The report focuses exclusively on regulatory compliance and listing status rather than financial performance metrics.
Material Changes and Delisting Proceedings
The Company's common stock has been delisted from Nasdaq due to failure to meet continued listing standards. Key events include:
- Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS): The Company failed to maintain the required $50 million MVLS for 30 consecutive business days prior to May 6, 2024, and failed to regain compliance by November 4, 2024.
- Minimum Bid Price: The stock price remained below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, failing to comply with the Price Rule despite a 180-day compliance window ending December 16, 2024.

- Appeal Outcome: On January 24, 2025, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel denied the Company's appeal of the delisting decision.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Trading Status: Effective January 28, 2025, trading on Nasdaq was suspended. The stock will trade on the over-the-counter (OTC) market under the ticker symbol "QTIH". The formal delisting will occur 10 calendar days after Nasdaq files Form 25 with the SEC.
Management Commentary: The Company states it does not expect the delisting to impact its day-to-day operations. Management intends to apply for listing on the OTC Markets' OTCQX or OTCQB tiers and plans to reapply for Nasdaq listing if initial listing standards are met in the future.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing highlights risks regarding the ability to service debt obligations (including convertible notes), securing sufficient capital for operations, market acceptance of services, and global economic conditions. Forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.
