PROXY STATEMENT


 
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 2006

Proxies in the form enclosed with this Statement are solicited by the Board of Directors of Q Comm International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Q Comm” or the “Company”) to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and at any adjournments thereof, to be held at Q Comm’s corporate offices located at 510 E. Technology Avenue, Building C, Orem, Utah on Thursday, the 24th day of August, 2006, at 2:00 p.m., Mountain Daylight Time, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting and this Proxy Statement (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board of Directors knows of no other business which will come before the meeting. Q Comm’s principal executive offices are located at 510 East Technology Avenue, Building C, Orem, Utah, 84097. The approximate date on which this Statement and the accompanying proxy will be mailed to shareholders is August 3, 2006. The Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, is being mailed herewith to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
 
RECORD DATE AND QUORUM
 
Shareholders of record at the close of business on July 21, 2006 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were 6,914,795 shares of common stock of the Company outstanding. Each share of common stock outstanding on the record date is entitled to one vote on each matter presented for action at the meeting. Shares of common stock were the only voting securities of the Company outstanding on the record date. A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding on the record date are present at the meeting in person or by proxy.
 
VOTING OF PROXIES
 
The persons acting as proxies pursuant to the enclosed proxy will vote the shares represented as directed in the signed proxy. Unless otherwise directed in the proxy, the proxyholders will vote the shares represented by the proxy: (i) for election of the six director nominees named in this Proxy Statement; (ii) for ratification of the appointment of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. as independent auditors to audit the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006; (iii) for approval of an increase in the number of available shares under Q Comm’s 2004 Stock Option Plan; and (iv) in the proxyholders’ discretion, on any other business that may come before the meeting and any adjournments of the meeting.
 
All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Under the Company’s bylaws and Utah law: (1) shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions or “broker non-votes” (i.e. shares held by a broker or nominee that are represented at the meeting, but with respect to which such broker or nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum; (2) there is no cumulative voting, and the director nominees receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected and, accordingly, abstentions, broker non-votes and withholding of authority to vote will not affect the election of directors; and (3) proxies that reflect abstentions or non-votes will be treated as unvoted for purposes of determining approval of that proposal and will not be counted as votes for or against that proposal. A shareholder who has signed and returned the enclosed proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by (i) submitting to the Company a properly executed proxy bearing a later date, (ii) submitting to the Company a written revocation of the proxy or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
 
VOTING REQUIREMENTS
 
The election of directors requires a plurality of the votes cast for the election of directors. Accordingly, the directorships to be filled at the Annual Meeting will be filled by the nominees receiving the highest number of votes. In the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor of or withheld with respect to any or all nominees; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
 
The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast for or against the matter by shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of our independent auditors. An abstention from voting on this matter will be treated as “present” for quorum purposes. However, since an abstention is not treated as a “vote” for or against the matter it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING AND COMMITTEES

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Board of Directors held five meetings, its Audit Committee held four meetings and its Compensation and Personnel Committee had two meetings. Each of our incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the number of Board of Directors meetings and committee meetings on which such directors served.
 
We have a policy of encouraging our directors to attend annual meetings of shareholders and believe that attendance at annual meetings is as important as attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors. One of our directors who was serving at the time attended our last shareholder meeting held on November 29, 2005.
 
In March 2004, our Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee were consolidated and their functions assumed by a newly designated Compensation and Personnel Committee. Our two currently standing committees, the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Personnel Committee are described below.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE
 
The Audit Committee is currently composed of Messrs. Crook (Chairman), Hargens and Phillips. The primary purposes of our Audit Committee are (a) to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and (iv) the performance of our independent auditors; (b) to decide whether to appoint, retain or terminate the Company’s independent auditors and to pre-approve all audit, audit-related and other services, if any, to be provided by the independent auditors; and (c) to prepare any report of the Audit Committee required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for inclusion in our annual proxy statement.
 
Our Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of our Audit Committee is independent within the meaning of Section 121(A) of the American Stock Exchange (“Amex”) listing standards and within the rules of the SEC. No member of the Audit Committee is an officer of the Company or employed or affiliated with our outside accountants, nor has any member of the Audit Committee been an officer of the Company within the past three years. No member of the Audit Committee has any relationship with the Company that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with his independence from management and the Company. Each member of the Audit Committee is, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, financially literate, and at least one member of the Audit Committee has accounting or related financial management experience. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Crook, is an “audit committee financial expert,” as that term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
The Audit Committee and our Board of Directors have established a procedure whereby complaints or concerns with respect to accounting, internal controls and auditing matters may be submitted to the Audit Committee, which is described under “Other Matters - Policies on Reporting of Concerns Regarding Accounting and Other Matters and on Communicating with Non-Management Directors” below.
 
Our Audit Committee Charter was included as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement that was filed with the SEC on November 17, 2005.
 
COMPENSATION AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
 
Our Compensation and Personnel Committee was established in March 2004. Prior to that time, the functions of the Compensation and Personnel Committee were performed by a committee of a different name. The members of the Compensation and Personnel Committee are Messrs. Jurika (Chairman), Phillips and Tesmer. Each member of our Compensation and Personnel Committee is independent within the meaning of the rules of Amex and the SEC, and no member receives directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees that would be prohibited under the rules of the SEC regarding the independence of members of boards of directors and committees. The primary purposes of the Compensation and Personnel Committee are to (a) determine, or recommend to the Board of Directors for determination, the compensation of our chief executive officer, (b) review and recommend the compensation and benefits payable to our other officers, (c) review our policy relating to employee compensation and benefits, (d) administer our stock option plans and (e) nominate, or recommend to the Board of Directors for nomination, director nominees to be elected by the shareholders.

The Compensation and Personnel Committee does not set specific, minimum qualifications that director nominees must meet in order for the committee to recommend them to the Board of Directors, but rather believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merits, taking into account our needs and the composition of the Board of Directors. Members of the Compensation and Personnel Committee discuss and evaluate possible candidates in detail and suggest individuals to explore in more depth. Outside consultants may also be employed to help in identifying candidates. Once a suitable candidate is identified, the Chairperson of the Compensation and Personnel Committee enters into a discussion with that nominee. The policy of the Compensation and Personnel Committee provides that nominees who have been recommended by shareholders be evaluated by the Compensation and Personnel Committee in the same manner as other nominees. Shareholders who wish to submit nominees for director for consideration by the Compensation and Personnel Committee for election at our 2006 Annual Meeting of shareholders may do so by submitting in writing such nominees’ names, in compliance with the procedures and along with the other information required by our Bylaws, to Mark Robinson, Corporate Secretary at Q Comm International, Inc., 510 East Technology Avenue, Orem, Utah 84097.
 
Our Compensation and Personnel Committee Charter was included as Appendix B to the Proxy Statement that was filed with the SEC on November 17, 2005. This charter is not available on the Company’s website.
 
Our executive compensation consists of three components: base salary, annual incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses, and stock options, each of which is intended to complement the others and, together, to satisfy Q Comm’s compensation objectives. The Compensation and Personnel Committee’s policies with respect to each of the three components are discussed below:

Base Salary. The Compensation and Personnel Committee considers several factors in determining base salaries for our executive officers, including industry information regarding comparative positions, responsibilities of the executive officers, length of service with Q Comm, and corporate and individual performance. Such factors are applied by the Compensation and Personnel Committee on a subjective basis and without application of set criteria. When determining base salaries, Q Comm examines the base salaries at companies of similar size and with similar employee bases. Also, the Compensation and Personnel Committee believes that Q Comm’s competitors for executive talent include a broad range of companies, not just those companies in a peer group established to compare shareholder returns. Thus, the industry information used by the Compensation and Personnel Committee are not entirely derived from the same peer group as used in the Comparison of Five Year Cumulative Total Return graph included in this Proxy Statement.

Bonuses. Cash bonuses paid to our executive officers are based on performance objectives against the Company’s goals that are established at the beginning of the year, subject to modifications to reflect unusual or unforeseen circumstances. These goals are largely financial goals based on objective standards such as net revenue and earnings as compared to targets.

Stock Options. Stock options provide additional incentives to our executive officers to maximize long-term shareholder value. The options that have been granted vest over a defined period to encourage these executive officers to continue their employment with Q Comm. Q Comm also grants stock options to many employees, commensurate with their potential contributions to Q Comm. Such factors are applied on a subjective basis by the Compensation and Personnel Committee and without use of specific objectives or formulas.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation. Michael Keough was the Chief Executive Officer of Q Comm through December 31, 2005. For fiscal year 2005, Mr. Keough received base salary compensation based upon industry averages for comparative positions, responsibilities, length of service and corporate and individual performance.

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors has appointed Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2006. Although shareholder approval is not required, we desire to obtain from the shareholders an indication of their approval or disapproval of the Board of Directors’ action in appointing Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. as the independent auditors of the Company and its subsidiary. If the shareholders do not ratify this appointment, such appointment will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.
 
We expect that a representative of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to questions. A representative of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. will be given the opportunity to make a statement at the Annual Meeting, if Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. desires to do so.
 
The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, P.C. for fiscal year 2006 and proxies that are returned will be so voted unless otherwise instructed.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee is comprised of three non-management Directors and operates pursuant to a written Charter. During fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee held four meetings with the independent auditors. The Audit Committee’s primary purposes are (a) to assist the Board of Directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) our independent auditors’ qualifications and independence and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; (b) to decide whether to appoint, retain or terminate the Company’s independent auditors and to pre-approve all audit, audit-related and other services, if any, to be provided by the independent auditors; and (c) to prepare any report of the Audit Committee required by the rules and regulations of the SEC for inclusion in our annual proxy statement. The Board of Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” within the meaning of the rules of both AMEX and the SEC. The Board of Directors has also determined that each member is financially literate and at least one member of the Audit Committee has accounting or related financial management expertise, as such qualifications are defined under the rules of AMEX, and that Mr. Crook is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, and the establishment and effectiveness of internal controls and procedures that are designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The independent auditors have free access to the Audit Committee to discuss any matters they deem appropriate.

In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as currently in effect. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and has discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence. All non-audit services performed by the independent auditors must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee or a member thereof.
 
During fiscal 2005, the Audit Committee performed all of its duties and responsibilities under the Audit Committee Charter. In addition, based on the reports and discussions described in this Report, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements of Q Comm for fiscal 2005 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year.

CHANGE OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT 

On October 6, 2005, the Company engaged Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell, Salt Lake City, Utah as an independent registered public accounting firm for the Company to audit and report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2005, and to review our quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

Tanner LC declined to stand for re-election as our independent registered public accounting firm, effective October 5, 2005. Tanner LC reported on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and reviewed our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended September 30, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005. For these periods and up to October 5, 2005, there were no disagreements with Tanner LC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tanner LC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report.

The audit report of Tanner LC, dated March 29, 2005, except for Notes 9, 14, 16 and 17, which are dated August 9, 2005, on our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2004 and for the year then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In addition to its engagement as our independent registered public accounting firm, Tanner LC prepared our federal and state income tax filings for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
There were no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v) during the year ended December 31, 2005, except that Hansen Barnett & Maxwell identified one “significant deficiency” and one “material weakness” in our internal control over financial reporting, as those terms are defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). Specifically, Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell identified a “significant deficiency” in our ability to summarize timely and adequately our financial data in our financial statements, including the timely and adequate preparation of the supporting schedules thereto and the timely reconciliation of general ledger accounts. This “significant deficiency” was primarily due to our lack of an effective computer software accounting system and our lack of a sufficient number of trained personnel. Ultimately, we were able adequately to prepare the financial statements and the supporting schedules. Additionally, Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell identified a “material weakness” in our ability to track our terminals in the hands of our brokers and our customers. Despite this “significant deficiency” and this “material weakness,” our management has concluded that the Company’s financial statements for 2005 present fairly, in all material respects, our results of operations and financial position in accordance with GAAP. The Company disclosed this “significant deficiency” and this “material weakness” to the Company’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors.

Our Remediation Efforts in 2006. In 2006, we have improved our ability to summarize our financial data in our financial statements by implementing a new computer software accounting system and by hiring and training additional personnel in our accounting department. In 2006, we also plan to implement the necessary controls and processes that will allow us to track our terminals in the hands of our brokers and our customers. Beyond these specific efforts, we will generally seek to improve our internal control over financial reporting, with the goal to eliminate all “significant deficiencies” and “material weaknesses.”

No consultations occurred between the Company and Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell during the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period prior to Hansen, Barnett & Maxwell’s appointment as our independent registered public accounting firm regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, or other information provided that was considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was the subject of disagreement or a reportable event requiring disclosure under Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, as the case may be.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF AVAILABLE SHARES UNDER THE 2004 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 

2004 STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
The Compensation and Personnel Committee of the Board of Directors has increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) from 500,000 shares of Common Stock to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Because the Company may issue incentive stock options (“ISO’s”) under the Stock Option Plan, Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code requires shareholder approval of the increase. In addition, Section 711 of the American Stock Exchange Rules requires such shareholder approval to be solicited pursuant to SEC rules. Described below are the material features of the Stock Option Plan and certain material information about Option grants that have been issued under the Stock Option Plan as of July 5, 2006.
 
GENERAL
 
The Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of ISO’s and non-qualified stock options (“NSO’s”) (collectively, “Options”). The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation and Personnel Committee (the “Administrator”). Options are granted at the discretion of the Administrator and may be made to Company officers, directors, key employees, and consultants as determined by the Administrator, taking into account the duties of the respective persons, their present and potential contributions to our success, and such other factors as the Administrator deems relevant. Presently, there are six executive officers, five non-employee directors, and forty-four other employees of the Company currently employed by the Company (as well as all future employees) that are eligible to participate in the Stock Option Plan.
 
Currently, a maximum of 500,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, merger, warrant or rights issuance, combination or exchange of shares, or other changes in the Common Stock as provided in the Stock Option Plan) may be granted under the Stock Option Plan (not including the 500,000 increase in available shares proposed in this Proxy Statement). All grants of Options under the Stock Option Plan must be evidenced by an agreement containing, at a minimum, certain material terms and conditions. The Board of Directors can increase the number of shares that may be granted under the Stock Option Plan, subject to shareholder approval. To the extent: (i) Options expire prior to exercise, or (ii) the recipient of an Options does not otherwise receive the full number of shares of Common Stock that might have been issued to the recipient, such shares will again be available for grant under the Stock Option Plan. With respect to a grantee who is an employee of the Company, such employee may not exercise his or her Options unless such employee is then in the employ of the Company, and unless such employee has remained continuously so employed since the date of grant of the Options. With respect to a grantee who is a non-employee director, such director may not exercise his or her Options unless such director is then serving as a member of the Board of Directors. In the event that the employment of the employee terminates or the service of a director as a member of the Board of Directors ceases, (other than by reason of death, disability, or cause), all Options of such person that are exercisable at the time of such termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within 90 days after the date of such termination.
 
THE ADMINISTRATOR
 
As mentioned above, the Administrator oversees the Stock Option Plan. The Administrator must be made up of “non-employee directors” (as defined under SEC Rule 16(b)(3)) and “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Unless otherwise determined by our Board of Directors, the Administrator has full authority and discretion, in the administration of the Stock Option Plan, subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Stock Option Plan. The Administrator’s authority and discretion include the following: to grant Options; to determine which Options shall constitute ISO’s and which Options shall constitute NSO’s; to determine the purchase price of the shares of Common Stock covered by each Option; to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which Options shall be granted; to determine the number of shares to be covered by each grant; to interpret the Stock Option Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Stock Option Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the Option agreements (which need not be identical) and to cancel or suspend Options, as necessary; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Stock Option Plan. Further, the Administrator may specify additional terms and conditions that may be placed upon receiving Options. Our Board of Directors has sole authority, unless expressly delegated to the Administrator, to grant Options to non-employee directors. The Administrator’s decisions in the administration of the Stock Option Plan shall be final and binding on all persons for all purposes.
 

19


 
OPTIONS
 
The Stock Option Plan permits the granting of both ISO’s and NSO’s. Generally, the Option price of both ISO’s and NSO’s must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of each Option is ten years. For any participant who owns shares possessing more than 10% of the voting rights of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of any ISO must be at least equal to 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to such ISO on the date of grant and the term of the ISO may not be longer than five years. The Stock Option Plan limits grants of ISO’s that may be exercised for the first time by the holder during any calendar year to $100,000 in fair market value. Options become exercisable at such time or times as the Compensation and Personnel Committee may determine at the time it grants Options. The exercise price for Options must be paid to the Company in full, at the time of exercise, in cash.
 
ISO’s may be granted under the Stock Option Plan only to employees of the Company. No ISO’s will be granted after ten years following the effective date of the Stock Option Plan. As of July 5, 2006, the Company had issued 376,500 ISO’s under the Stock Option Plan.
 
NSO’s may be granted under the Stock Option Plan may be granted to employees, directors and consultants. NSO’s are not subject to the ISO requirements of the Code and, therefore, may not contain the same restrictions as ISO’s issued under the Stock Option Plan. As of July 5, 2006, the Company had issued 105,000 NSO’s under the Stock Option Plan.
 
Each Option agreement with a grantee provides an exercise schedule for the Option as determined by the Administrator. The Administrator has the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate. The exercise period of Options is ten years from the date of the grant unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. In the case of ISO’s, such exercise period must not exceed ten years from the date of grant.
 
An Option may not be exercised unless (i) with respect to grantee who is an employee of the Company, such grantee is then in the employ of the Company, and unless the grantee has remained continuously so employed since the date of grant and (ii) with respect to an grantee who is a non-employee director, the grantee is then serving as a member of the Board of Directors. In the event that the employment of a grantee terminates or the service of an grantee as a member of the Board of Directors ceases (other than by reason of death, disability or cause), all Options of such grantee that are exercisable at the time of such termination may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised within 90 days after the date of such termination or service (or such different period as the Administrator prescribes).
 
If grantee dies while employed by the Company or serving as a member of the Board of Directors, or within 90 days after the date of termination of such grantee’s employment or cessation of such grantee’s service (or within a different period specified by the Administrator), or if the grantee’s employment terminates or service ceases by reason of disability, all Options theretofore granted to such grantee may, unless earlier terminated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the grantee or by his beneficiary, at any time within one year after the death or disability of the grantee (or such different period as the Administrator prescribes). Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Options not otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of employment are forfeited as of such date.
 
Such Options may be exercised no later than twelve months following an active employee’s death unless the Administrator determines otherwise, but in no event later than the expiration of the exercise period for the Option. Options are terminated immediately upon termination of an employee for material misconduct. NSO’s are exercisable during a grantee’s lifetime only by such grantee and are transferable only upon death by will or the laws of descent or distribution. ISO’s are exercisable during a grantee’s lifetime only by such grantee and are transferable only upon death by will or the laws of descent or distribution.
 

20

 
 
AMENDMENTS
 
Our Board of Directors may suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Stock Option Plan at any time, and the Administrator may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Stock Option Plan at any time, in each case subject to the rights of the holders of outstanding Options as specified in their Option agreements and as specified in applicable law.
 
GRANTS UNDER THE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
As of July 5, 2006, Options for 481,500 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Stock Option Plan at exercise prices ranging from $2.22 to $4.87 per share, and at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.87 per share. These Options have expiration dates ranging from May 26, 2009 to February 16, 2016 years. Based on a closing price of $1.49 for the Company’s Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange as of July 5, 2006, the unexercised Options granted under the Stock Option Plan (as computed according to the weighted-average exercise price of $3.87) had no value at that date. As of July 5, 2006, no Options had been exercised, leaving 18,500 shares available for future grant under the Stock Option Plan. No other forms of awards have been granted under the Stock Option Plan. Neither the Board of Directors nor the Administrator has yet decided how to allocate the additional 500,000 shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. The Options outstanding under the Stock Option Plan as of July 5, 2006 are summarized below:

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
The following describes the general federal income tax consequences of the NSO’s and ISO’s to employees of the Company.
 
NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS
 
The grant of NSO’s will have no immediate tax consequences to us or the grantee. The exercise of a NSO will require an employee to include in his gross income the amount by which the fair market value of the acquired shares on the exercise date (or the date on which any substantial risk of forfeiture lapses) exceeds the Option price. Upon a subsequent sale or taxable exchange of the shares acquired upon exercise of a NSO, an employee will recognize long or short-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale and the tax basis of such shares. We will be entitled (provided applicable withholding requirements are met) to a deduction for Federal income tax purposes at the same time and in the same amount as the employee is in receipt of income in connection with the exercise of a NSO.
 
INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.
 
The grant of an ISO will have no immediate tax consequences to us or our employee. If the employee exercises an ISO and does not dispose of the acquired shares within two years after the grant of the ISO nor within one year after the date of the transfer of such shares to him, he will realize no compensation income and any gain or loss that he realizes on a subsequent disposition of such shares will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss. For purposes of calculating the employee’s alternative minimum taxable income, however, the ISO will be taxed as if it were a NSO.
 
The foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income taxation upon an employee with respect to the grant and exercise of NSO’s and ISO’s under the Stock Option Plan. This summary does not purport to be complete and does not discuss the income tax laws of any state or foreign country in which an employee may reside.
 
Our 2004 Stock Option Plan is included as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement.
 
VOTE REQUIRED
 
The increase in the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan will be submitted to stockholders for their approval at the Annual Meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy is required for this approval. The Board of Directors believes that this increase is in the best interest of the Company because such additional shares will be available for grant to employees, directors and consultants upon whose performance and contribution Q Comm depends for its long-term success and growth.
 
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” an increase in the number of shares available under the Stock Option Plan.

MISCELLANEOUS
 
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
Shareholders interested in presenting a proposal for consideration at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2007 must follow the procedures found in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and our bylaws. To be eligible for inclusion in the Company’s 2007 proxy materials, all qualified proposals must be received by our Corporate Secretary within a reasonable period of time before the Company prints and mails proxy materials to shareholder.
 
A shareholder’s notice must set forth, as to each proposed matter: (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election to the Board of Directors, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitation of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 14a-11 thereunder; (ii) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and, if such business includes a proposal to amend our bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment; (iii) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the shareholder proposing such business; (iv) the number of shares of Company common stock which are beneficially owned by such shareholder; and (v) any financial interest of the shareholder in such proposal or nomination.
 
POLICIES ON REPORTING OF CONCERNS REGARDING ACCOUNTING AND OTHER MATTERS AND ON COMMUNICATING WITH NON-MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS
 
We have adopted policies on reporting of concerns regarding accounting and other matters and on communicating with our non-management directors. Any person, whether or not an employee, who has a concern about our conduct or any of our people, including with respect to our accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing issues, may, in a confidential or anonymous manner, communicate that concern by forwarding it in a sealed envelope to Gary Crook, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, in care of Corporate Secretary at 510 East Technology Avenue, Building C, Orem Utah 84097, such envelope to be labeled with a legend such as: “Anonymous Submission of Complaint or Concern.” All communication received will be relayed to the Chairperson of our Audit Committee.
 
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
 
The cost of this proxy solicitation and any additional material relating to the meeting which may be furnished to the shareholders will be borne by Q Comm. In addition, solicitation by telephone, telegraph or other means may be made personally, without additional compensation, by officers, directors and regular employees of Q Comm. Q Comm also will request brokers, dealers, banks and voting trustees and their nominees holding shares of record but not beneficially to forward proxy soliciting material to beneficial owners of such shares, and Q Comm, upon request, will reimburse them for their expenses in so doing.
 
EVERY SHAREHOLDER, WHETHER OR NOT HE OR SHE EXPECTS TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING IN PERSON, IS URGED TO EXECUTE THE PROXY AND RETURN IT PROMPTLY IN THE ENCLOSED BUSINESS REPLY ENVELOPE.

APPENDIX A

Q COMM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
2004 STOCK OPTION PLAN


 
1.
Purpose; Types of Awards; Construction.

The purpose of the Q Comm International, Inc. 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is to align the interests of officers, other key employees, consultants and non-employee directors of Q Comm International, Inc. (the “Company”) and its affiliates with those of the stockholders of the Company, to afford an incentive to such officers, em-ploy-ees, consultants and directors to continue as such, to increase their efforts on behalf of the Company and to promote the success of the Company’s business. To further such purposes, the Committee may grant options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The provisions of the Plan are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and of Section 162(m) of the Inter-nal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the require-ments thereof, as now or hereafter construed, interpreted and applied by regulations, rulings and cases.

 
2.
Definitions.

As used in this Plan, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings indicated below:

(a)    “Agreement” shall mean a written agreement entered into between the Company and an Optionee in connection with an award under the Plan.
 
(b)    “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(c)    “Cause,” when used in connection with the termination of an Optionee’s employment by the Company or the cessation of an Optionee’s service as a consultant or a member of the Board, shall mean (i) the conviction of the Optionee for the commission of a felony, or (ii) the willful and continued failure by the Optionee substantially to perform his duties and obligations to the Company or a Subsidiary (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness), or (iii) the willful engaging by the Optionee in misconduct that is demonstrably injurious to the Company or a Subsidiary.

Administration.

The Plan, except as may otherwise be determined by the Board, shall be administered by the Commit-tee, the members of which shall be “non-employee directors” under Rule 16b-3 and “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Committee shall have the authority in its discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the express provi-sions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically grant-ed to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without limita-tion, the authority to grant Options; to deter-mine which Options shall constitute Incentive Stock Options and which Options shall constitute Non-qualified Stock Op-tions; to determine the pur-chase price of the shares of Common Stock covered by each Option; to deter-mine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which awards shall be granted; to deter-mine the number of shares to be covered by each award; to inter-pret the Plan; to pre-scribe, amend and rescind rules and regula-tions relat-ing to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of the Agreements (which need not be iden-ti-cal) and to cancel or sus-pend awards, as necessary; and to make all other determi-na-tions deemed necessary or advisable for the administra-tion of the Plan.

The Committee may not delegate its authority to grant Options. The Com-mit-tee may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any respon-sibility the Com-mit-tee may have under the Plan. The Board shall have sole au-thor-i-ty, unless ex-press-ly dele-gat-ed to the Com-mit-tee, to grant Op-tions to Non-employee Directors. All decisions, deter-mination and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Optionees of any awards under this Plan.

A-3



The Board shall have the authority to fill all vacan-cies, howev-er caused, in the Committee. The Board may from time to time appoint additional members to the Committee, and may at any time remove one or more Commit-tee members. One member of the Committee shall be se-lected by the Board as chairman. The Committee shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall deem advisable. All determinations of the Commit-tee shall be made by a majority of its members either present in person or participating by conference tele-phone at a meeting or by written consent. The Com-mittee may appoint a secretary and make such rules and regula-tions for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable, and shall keep minutes of its meetings.

No member of the Board or Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any award granted hereunder.

 
4.
Eligibility.

Awards may be granted to officers and other key employees of and consultants to the Company, and its Sub-sid-iar-ies, in-clud-ing offi-cers and directors who are employ-ees, and to Non-employee Directors. In deter-min-ing the per-sons to whom awards shall be grant-ed and the number of shares to be covered by each award, the Commit-tee shall take into account the duties of the respective persons, their present and potential contribu-tions to the success of the Company and such other fac-tors as the Committee shall deem relevant in connection with accom-plishing the pur-pose of the Plan.

 
5.
Stock.

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock reserved for the grant of awards under the Plan shall be 500,000, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 9 hereof. Such shares may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company.

If any outstanding award under the Plan should for any reason expire, be canceled or be forfeited without having been exer-cised in full, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexer-cised, canceled or terminated portion of such award shall (unless the Plan shall have been termi-nated) become available for subse-quent grants of awards under the Plan.

 
6.
Terms and Conditions of Options.

Each Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Agreement, in such form and contain-ing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall from time to time ap-prove, which Agreement shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and condi-tions, unless otherwise specifi-cally provided in such Option Agreement:

(a)    Number of Shares. Each Option Agree-ment shall state the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Option relates.
 
(b)    Type of Option. Each Option Agree-ment shall specifically state that the Option constitutes an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-qualified Stock Option.
 
(c)    Option Price. Each Option Agreement shall state the Option Price, which shall not be less than one hun-dred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock covered by the Option on the date of grant unless, with respect to Non-qualified Stock Options, otherwise determined by the Committee. The Option Price shall be sub-ject to ad-just-ment as pro-vided in Section 9 hereof. The date as of which the Committee adopts a resolution ex-pressly grant-ing an Option shall be consid-ered the day on which such Option is granted, unless such resolution specifies a different date.
 
(d)    Medium and Time of Payment. The Option Price shall be paid in full, at the time of exer-cise, in cash.
 

A-4


 
(e)    Exercise Schedule and Period of Op-tions. Each Option Agreement shall provide the exer-cise schedule for the Option as determined by the Commit-tee; provided, however, that, the Committee shall have the authority to accel-er-ate the exercisability of any out-standing Option at such time and under such cir-cum-stances as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropri-ate. The exercise period shall be ten (10) years from the date of the grant of the Option unless otherwise deter-mined by the Com-mit-tee; pro-vid-ed, howev-er, that, in the case of an Incen-tive Stock Option, such exercise period shall not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant of such Option. The exer-cise period shall be subject to earlier termina-tion as provided in Sections 6(f) and 6(g) hereof. An Option may be exer-cised, as to any or all full shares of Common Stock as to which the Option has become exer-cis-able, by writ-ten notice delivered in person or by mail to the Secre-tary of the Company, specifying the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised.
 
(f)     Termination. Except as provid-ed in this Section 6(f) and in Section 6(g) hereof, an Option may not be exercised unless (i) with respect to an Op-tionee who is an employee of the Company, the Op-tion-ee is then in the employ of the Compa-ny or a Sub-sid-iary (or a compa-ny or a Parent or Subsid-iary compa-ny of such company issuing or assuming the Option in a transac-tion to which Section 424(a) of the Code ap-plies), and unless the Optionee has remained con-tinuously so employed since the date of grant of the Option and (ii) with respect to an Optionee who is a Non-employee Director, the Optionee is then serving as a member of the Board or as a member of a board of directors of a compa-ny or a Parent or Subsid-iary compa-ny of such company issuing or assuming the Option. In the event that the em-ploy-ment of an Optionee shall termi-nate or the service of an Optionee as a member of the Board shall cease (other than by reason of death, Dis-abili-ty, or Cause), all Op-tions of such Optio-nee that are exer-cis-able at the time of such termi-na-tion may, unless earlier terminated in accor-dance with their terms, be exercised within ninety (90) days after the date of such termina-tion or service (or such dif-fer-ent period as the Commit-tee shall prescribe).
 
(g)    Death or Disability of Optionee. If an Opti-onee shall die while em-ployed by the Compa-ny or a Subsid-iary or serving as a member of the Board, or within ninety (90) days after the date of termi-na-tion of such Optionee’s employ-ment or cessation of such Optionee’s service (or within such dif-ferent period as the Com-mittee may have provided pursuant to Section 6(f) here-of), or if the Optionee’s employment shall termi-nate or service shall cease by reason of Dis-abili-ty, all Op-tions there-to-fore granted to such Optio-nee (to the extent other-wise exercis-able) may, unless earlier termi-nated in accordance with their terms, be exercised by the Optionee or by his beneficiary, at any time within one year after the death or Disabil-ity of the Optionee (or such differ-ent period as the Commit-tee shall pre-scribe). In the event that an Option grant-ed here-un-der shall be exercised by the legal repre-senta-tives of a deceased or former Optio-nee, written notice of such exer-cise shall be accom-panied by a certi-fied copy of letters testamenta-ry or equivalent proof of the right of such legal repre-sen-ta-tive to exer-cise such Option. Unless otherwise deter-mined by the Committee, Options not other-wise exercisable on the date of termina-tion of em-ploy-ment shall be for-feited as of such date.
 
(h)    Other Provisions. The Option Agree-ments evi-dencing awards under the Plan shall contain such other terms and conditions not incon-sistent with the Plan as the Commit-tee may determine, including penalties for the commission of competitive acts.
 
 
7.
Non-qualified Stock Options.

Options granted pursuant to this Section 7 are intended to constitute Non-qualified Stock Options and shall be subject only to the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6 hereof.

 
8.
Incentive Stock Options.

Options granted pursuant to this Section 8 are intended to constitute Incentive Stock Options and shall be subject to the following special terms and conditions, in addition to the general terms and conditions specified in Section 6 hereof. An Incentive Stock Option may not be granted to a Non-employee Director or a consultant to the Company.


A-5



(a)    Value of Shares. The aggre-gate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incen-tive Stock Option is granted) of the shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Op-tions granted under this Plan and all other option plans of any subsid-iary become exercisable for the first time by each Optio-nee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.
 
(b)    Ten Percent Stockholder. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Per-cent Stockholder, (i) the Option Price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option, and (ii) the exercise period shall not exceed five (5) years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option.
 
 
9.
Effect of Certain Changes.

(a)    In the event of any extraordinary dividend, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, stock split, warrant or rights issuance, or combination or exchange of such shares, or other similar transactions, each of the number of shares of Common Stock available for awards, the number of such shares covered by outstanding awards, and the price per share of Options, as appropriate, shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee to reflect such event and preserve the value of such awards.
 
(b)    Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each Option granted under the Plan and then outstand-ing but not yet exercisable shall thereupon become fully exer-cis-able.
 
 
10.
Surrender and Exchange of Awards.

The Committee may permit the voluntary sur-render of all or a portion of any Option granted under the Plan or any option granted under any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary (“Surrendered Option”), to be conditioned upon the grant-ing to the Optionee of a new Option for the same number of shares of Common Stock as the Surrendered Option, or may require such voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of a new Option to such Optionee. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Option may be an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-qualified Stock Option, and shall be exercis-able at the price, during such period and on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Com-mittee at the time the new Option is granted.

 
11.
Period During Which Awards May Be Granted.

Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan from time to time within a period of ten (10) years from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, or the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company, whichever is earlier, unless the Board shall terminate the Plan at an earlier date.

 
12.
Non-transferability of Awards.

Except as otherwise determined by the Commit-tee, awards granted under the Plan shall not be trans-ferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and awards may be exercised or other-wise realized, during the lifetime of the Optio-nee, only by the Optionee or by his guardian or legal repre-sen-tative.

 
13.
Approval of Shareholders.

The Plan shall take effect upon its adoption by the Board and shall terminate on the tenth anniversary of such date, but the Plan (and any grants of awards made prior to the share-holder ap-proval men-tioned herein) shall be subject to the ap-proval of Company’s shareholders, which approv-al must occur within twelve months of the date the Plan is adopt-ed by the Board.

 
14.
Agreement by Optionee Regarding Withholding Taxes.

If the Committee shall so require, as a condi-tion of exercise of a Non-qualified Stock Option (a “Tax Event”), each Optio-nee who is not a Non-employee Director shall agree that no later than the date of the Tax Event, such Op-tion-ee will pay to the Compa-ny or make arrange-ments satisfac-tory to the Commit-tee re-garding payment of any federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld upon the Tax Event. Alterna-tively, the Com-mittee may pro-vide that such an Optionee may elect, to the extent permit-ted or re-quired by law, to have the Company deduct feder-al, state and local taxes of any kind re-quired by law to be with-held upon the Tax Event from any pay-ment of any kind due the Optio-nee. The with-hold-ing obliga-tion may be satis-fied by the with-hold-ing or deliv-ery of Common Stock. Any decision made by the Committee under this Section 15 shall be made in its sole discretion.

A-6



 
15.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

The Board at any time and from time to time may suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Plan; provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the Board, an amend-ment that re-quires stock-hold-er approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Rule 16b-3, Section 162(m) of the Code or any other law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall not be effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders. Except as provided in Section 9(a) hereof, no suspension, termination, modification or amendment of the Plan may ad-versely affect any award previously grant-ed, unless the written consent of the Optionee is ob-tained.

 
16.
Rights as a Shareholder.

An Optionee or a transferee of an award shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares covered by the award until the date of the issu-ance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distribution of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 9(a) hereof.

 
17.
No Rights to Employment or Service as a Director or Consultant.

Nothing in the Plan or in any award granted or Agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer upon any Optionee the right to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or as a member of the Board or a consultant to the Company or any Subsidiary or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or such Agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate such Optionee’s employment or service. Awards granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change in duties or position of an employee Optionee as long as such Optionee continues to be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary.

 
18.
Beneficiary.

An Optionee may file with the Committee a writ-ten designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Committee and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Optionee, the executor or admin-istrator of the Optionee’s estate shall be deemed to be the Optionee’s beneficiary.

 
19.
Governing Law.

The Plan and all determinations made and ac-tions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah.
