that certain Management Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2007, as amended (the Management

Change in Control, was the controlling shareholder of the Company.
Also on July 7, 2008, the Company terminated (i) those certain Registration Rights Agreements,
dated March 23, 2007 and March 26, 2007, by and between the Company and KI Equity (the KI Equity

The Rights Agreements granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights to KI Equity,

penalties in connection with the termination of the Rights Agreements or the Consulting Agreement.

On July 7, 2008, after the closing of the Change in Control, the Company issued 31,437,000
shares (the Shares) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock), for an

issuance. The Shares were issued pursuant to the private placement exemption provided by Section
4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and Rule 506 promulgated
thereunder. The Shares are deemed to be restricted securities as defined in Rule 144 promulgated
under the Securities Act, and the certificates evidencing the Shares bear a legend stating the

accredited investor as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the

Item 5.01. Change in Control of Registrant.
(a) On June 2, 2008, KI Equity and Keating entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended

$926,273.46, or approximately $0.0134 per share.
Also on June 2, 2008, the Investors entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement, as amended (the
Garisch Purchase Agreement), with Garisch, pursuant to which Garisch agreed to sell to the
Investors, and the Investors agreed to purchase from Garisch, 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the
Garisch Shares), for an aggregate purchase price of $73,726.54, or approximately $0.0134 per
share.

Pursuant to the terms of the KI/Keating Purchase Agreement and effective upon the Closings,
Keating resigned from his positions as the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company, and Keating, Jeff Andrews and Margie Blackwell

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Transactions with Related Persons
In the following discussion, all share amounts reflect a 20 for 1 reverse stock split effected
as of March 17, 2007.
During the Companys 2006 fiscal year, Mr. Michael A. Littman, the managing member of the
Companys majority shareholder at the time, Ponce Acquisition, LLC, a Colorado limited liability
company (Ponce Acquisition), performed legal services for, and made cost advances on
behalf of, the Company. Such services were rendered in connection with bringing the Company
current in its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act and obtaining a quotation for the
Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the OTCBB). On January 30, 2007, the
Company issued a promissory note (the Note) to Mr. Littman in the principal amount of $434,385 to
evidence these legal fees and cost advances. The Note was paid in full from the proceeds of the
2007 Transaction (as described below).
On January 31, 2007, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to Ponce Acquisition
for an aggregate offering price of $15,000. Ponce Acquisition acquired control of the Company as a
result of this issuance. The proceeds from this issuance were used to pay expenses for the
Companys reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. In connection with the 2007 Transaction,
Ponce Acquisition cancelled and returned to the Company an aggregate of 7,450,000 shares of Common
Stock.

On March 23, 2007, KI Equity acquired control of the Company under the terms of that certain

shares of Common Stock for an aggregate offering price of $600,000.
Effective as of the closing of the 2007 Transaction, in accordance with the terms of the 2007
Agreement, the then-existing officers and directors of the Company resigned, and Kevin R. Keating
(Keating) was appointed the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President,
Secretary, Treasurer and a director of the Company, and Jeff L. Andrews and Margie L. Blackwell
were appointed directors of the Company.
Keating is the father of Timothy J. Keating, the managing member of Keating Investments, LLC,
which in turn is the managing member of KI Equity. Additionally, Jeff L. Andrews and Margie L.
Blackwell are members of Keating Investments, LLC. At the time of the appointments of Keating,
Jeff L. Andrews and Margie L. Blackwell, KI Equity was the controlling shareholder of the Company.
On March 26, 2007, the Company issued 7,500,000 shares of Common Stock to KI Equity for an
aggregate offering price of $75,000. The proceeds from this sale were used for working capital to
pay expenses to maintain the reporting status of the Company. Also on March 26, 2007, the Company
issued 1,600,000 shares of its Common Stock to Keating, who at the time of the issuance was the
sole officer and a director of the Company, for services rendered to the Company valued at $16,000.
The shares of Common Stock issued to KI Equity and Keating in March of 2007 were issued
pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. As
such, these shares are restricted shares, and the holder thereof may not sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of such shares without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption
therefrom. The Company granted demand and piggyback registration rights to KI Equity and Keating
with respect to the above shares; however, these registration rights were terminated on July 7,
2008, as disclosed under Item 1.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Effective March 26, 2007, the Company entered into the Management Agreement with Vero. Under
the terms of the Management Agreement, Vero provided the Company with managerial and administrative
services in exchange for a monthly fee of $1,000. Vero is owned and controlled by Keating. The
Management Agreement was terminated on July 7, 2008, as disclosed under Item 1.02 of this Current
Report on Form 8-K.
On July 7, 2008, after the closing of the Change in Control disclosed under Item 5.01 of this
Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company issued an aggregate of 31,437,000 shares of Common Stock to
the Investors for an aggregate offering price of $562,500. As part of this issuance, Mr. Glenn L.
Halpryn, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, acquired 7,476,111
shares of Common Stock for $36,563, Mr. Noah M. Silver, the Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer
and a director of the Company, acquired 3,821,556 shares of Common
Stock for $16,563, Mr. Alan Jay
Weisberg, the Chief Financial and Accounting Officer and a director of the Company, acquired
785,925 shares of Common Stock for $3,125 and Mr. Ronald Stein, a director of the Company, acquired
294,722 shares of Common Stock for $9,375. Also as part of the issuance, Mr. Glenn L. Halpryns
father, Ernest Halpryn, acquired 2,799,858 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price
of $23,438, and Steven Jerry Glauser, who beneficially owns 37.1% of the Companys issued and
outstanding Common Stock, acquired 8,448,694 of shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase
price of $225,000.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
The Companys Board intends to conduct an appropriate review of and oversee all related party
transactions on a continuing basis and review potential conflict of interest situations where
appropriate. The Board has not adopted formal standards to apply when it reviews, approves or
ratifies any related party transaction. However, traditionally, the Board has followed the
following standards: (i) all related party transactions must be fair and reasonable to the Company
and on terms comparable to those reasonably expected to be agreed to with independent third parties
for the same goods and/or services at the time they are authorized by the Board, and (ii) all
related party transactions should be authorized, approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the directors who have no interest, either directly or indirectly, in any such related
party transaction.
5
Director Independence
The Board has determined that Dr. Curtis Lockshin and Mr. Ronald Stein are independent
directors as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, although these
independent director standards or any other standards do not directly apply to the Company because
the Company does not currently have any securities that are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, a
national securities exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system having requirements that a
majority of the Board be independent. The Board has determined that Messrs. Halpryn, Weisberg and
Silver are not independent directors as defined under Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace
Rules.
Item 8. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings.
Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrants Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters.
The Companys Common Stock is traded on the OTCBB under the symbol QBYT. The Companys
Common Stock began quotation on the OTCBB on an unpriced basis in December 2006.
The Common Stock trades only sporadically and has experienced in the past, and is expected to
experience in the future, significant price and volume volatility.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the range of high and low bid
quotations for the Common Stock, as reported by the OTCBB. Since shares of the Common Stock were
initially quoted on an unpriced basis, there is no available information on the high and low bid
quotations for the Common Stock on the OTCBB during December 2006. Quotations reflect inter-dealer
prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not necessarily represent actual
transactions.*

election of directors is not permitted by the Articles. The Articles provide that any action to be
taken by the shareholders of the Company which, pursuant to statute, requires the vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, may be acted upon by the vote or
concurrence of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the shares, class or series
entitled to vote thereon.
The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as may be
declared from time to time by the Board out of legally available funds, subject to preferential
dividend rights, if any, of the holders of Preferred Stock. In the event of liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of Common Stock are entitled
to receive, ratably, the net assets of the Company available to shareholders after distribution is
made to the holders of Preferred Stock, if any, who are given preferred rights upon liquidation.
The holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemptive
rights. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are, and all unissued shares when
offered and sold will be, fully paid, and nonassessable. To the extent that additional shares of
the Companys Common Stock are issued, the relative interests of then existing shareholders may be
diluted.
The Articles provide the Board with the authority to determine the designations, powers,
preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Preferred Stock, and
establish different series of Preferred Stock and variations in the relative rights and preferences
as between different series thereof in accordance with Colorado law. The holders of any series of
Preferred Stock shall have no voting power whatsoever, except for such voting powers with respect
to the election of directors or other matters as may be stated in the resolutions of the Board
creating any such series of Preferred Stock.
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Article 109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the CBCA) permits the Company to
indemnify any officer, director, employee or agent (any such person, a Proper Person) against
expenses, fines, penalties, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding
to which such person was a party, to the extent that such persons actions were in good faith, were
believed to be in the Companys best interest and were not unlawful. Indemnification is mandatory
with respect to a Proper Person who was wholly successful in defense of a proceeding.
The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with an action brought
on the Companys behalf are generally the same as those mentioned above. However, with respect to
actions against directors or officers, indemnification may be granted only with respect to
reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action.
In these actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner the
person reasonably believed was in the Companys best interest; the person must not have been
adjudged liable to the Company; and the person must not have received an improper personal benefit.
7
The Articles provide that the Company shall indemnify any person who is or was a director of
the Company to the maximum extent provided by Colorado law. The Articles also provide that the
Company shall indemnify any person who is or was an officer, employee or agent of the Company, and
who is not a director of the Company, to the maximum extent provided by law, or to a greater extent
if consistent with law and if provided by resolution of the Companys shareholders or directors, or
in a contract.
The Articles authorize the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company and who while a
director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company, is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other
foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or employee
benefit plan, against any liability asserted against or incurred by such person in any such
capacity or arising out of such persons status as such, whether or not the corporation would have
the power to indemnify such person against such liability under provisions of Colorado law.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, this
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.
This summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the Articles and the Bylaws of the Company, which are filed as
exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, and to the relevant provisions of the
CBCA.

Item 5.03. |
|
Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On July 7, 2008, subsequent to the Closings, the Board, in accordance with the Colorado
Business Corporation Act (the CBCA), unanimously adopted the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the
Company (the Amended Bylaws), which became effective immediately upon their adoption by the
Board. A summary of the amendments is as follows:
|
|
|
At any meeting of the Companys shareholders, unless a greater number is
required by the CBCA, the Amended Bylaws establish that one-third of the shares
entitled to be cast by shareholders on any matter constitutes a quorum.
Previously, a quorum was determined only with reference to relevant provisions
contained in the Companys Articles of Incorporation. |
|
|
|
|
The Amended Bylaws provide that the Board shall comprise a number of directors
fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board. Previously, the number of
directors serving on the board was fixed at three. |
|
|
|
|
The Amended Bylaws clarify that each of the Companys outstanding shares of
capital stock is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a shareholder
vote, unless otherwise required by the CBCA or the Companys Articles of
Incorporation, as amended. |
10
|
|
|
The Amended Bylaws clarify that shareholder proxies may be in any written,
electronic or other form permitted under the CBCA. |
|
|
|
|
Instead of a unanimous written consent, and the Amended Bylaws provide that any
action required to be taken, or which may be taken at a meeting of shareholders,
may be taken without a meeting and by a written consent executed by shareholders
holding not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to
authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to
vote thereon were present and voted. |
|
|
|
|
Under the Amended Bylaws, any or all of the shareholders may participate in any
annual or special shareholders meeting by, or the meeting may be conducted through
the use of, any means of communication by which all persons participating in the
meeting may hear each other during the meeting. Any shareholder participating in
any meeting by such means shall be deemed present at that meeting. |
|
|
|
|
The Amended Bylaws permit the Company to issue uncertificated as well as
certificated shares of stock. |
|
|
|
|
The Amended Bylaws provide for implementation of indemnification of the
Companys directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents (Proper Persons)
permitted by Colorado law subject to certain customary requirements and exclusions.
Additionally, the Company may, but is not required to, provide advancement of
reasonable expenses incurred by any Proper Person in defending certain actions,
suits or proceedings. Previously, the Bylaws provided only that the Company had
the power to provide indemnification. |
|
|
|
|
The Amended Bylaws clarify that, while the Board has the right to amend the
Companys Amended Bylaws, the Boards right is subject to the shareholders
superior right to amend the Companys Amended Bylaws. |
The foregoing description of the changes to the Bylaws is only a summary and is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Bylaws which is attached as Exhibit 3.2
to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
