All of the individuals named above are part of QSEP's Board of Directors. All of them are investing their own money in QSEP. While NDA's may prevent them from talking about the specifics of any particular corporate relationships, this is a powerful alternative way to express just how confident they are in QSEP's immediate future.

I've emphasized the word immediate because I think the motivation for early conversion of 10 year stock options is based on a strong belief that the stock will be going substantially higher in the near term. This early conversion will reduce the future tax burden substantially if that were to occur (long term capital gain instead of ordinary income).

The "bargain element" of a stock option is taxed as ordinary income while the remaining gain is taxed at the lower capital gains rate. Exercise of a stock option while the underlying security price is low insures that the "bargain element" will also be low allowing for the best tax outcome (the bargain element is the difference between the price at the time of exercise and the grant price). For the owner of a QSEP stock option it requires a very powerful incentive to give up a 10 year "free look". A savvy investor would hold onto a stock option as long as possible, exercising and putting up money only at a time when the outlook was so positive that it is likely to move the stock substantially higher. Anybody exercising their stock options today must feel now is that time.

The independent auditors must be getting the filings finalised for QS. I received an email & document to sign & return to them after my recent investment in a private placement in QS. The auditors must have been paid & moving forward now. The current ceo Kyte is great at fund raising as he has raised millions in the past for QS.

It is our goal to dedicate sufficient resources to Dr. Christopher Gallagher, our lead engineer in the development of our AOT technology,

I believe Dr. Gallagher is very capable and determined to sort out the variables that could lead us to a consistent and reliable commercial proof of concept of AOT. Once we can truly say that we have a commercial product, we plan to swiftly move to prove AOT in the field and to seek commercialization opportunities.

One of the first impressions I had of Dr. Gallagher’s attitude is that it simply comes down to the fact that he enjoys solving problems and winning.

But the current ceo isn't getting compensated

Currently, Mr. Kyte will not receive any cash or stock consideration for his roles as CEO and CFO of the Company until approved by the Board. Currently, there is no agreement or arrangement regarding compensation for Mr. Kyte in his roles as CEO and CFO of the Company

[zerosnoop]

But the board are working for free on behalf of the shareholders

The Board also approved a resolution suspending all Board compensation effective January 1, 2021, payable under the Company’s May 6, 2014, Board compensation policy as amended January 1, 2015.

If that were the case, why hasn't a prestigious university such as Temple not discredited him and what you would call his pseudo-science claims? Claims which were signed off on as being valid at the RMOTC? Are you saying it was not run by professionals that know their business and field? They themselves would be discredited by such actions.
