NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

Organization

Quadrant 4 System Corporation (sometimes referred to herein as “Quadrant 4” or the “Company”) was incorporated by the Florida Department of State on May 9, 1990 as Sun Express Group, Inc. and changed its name on March 31, 2011. The Company changed its domicile to Illinois on April 25, 2014. The Company generates revenue from clients located mostly in North America operating out of multiple office locations in the United States. In addition, the Company’s revenues are derived from a few select industries pertaining to information technology, consulting, professional services and vertical cloud platforms that include a large number of participants and are subject to rapid change.

Operations

The Company is engaged in the Information Technology sector as a provider of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) systems to the health insurance (QBIX/QHIX), media (QBLITZ) and education (QEDX) verticals (collectively “Platforms”). Along with these platforms, we also provide relevant services that leverage on our proprietary Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) technology stack. Our core services include Consulting, Application Life Cycle Management, Enterprise Applications & Data Management, Mobility Applications and Business Analytics (collectively “Consulting”). We blend these services with our technology platforms to offer client specific and industry specific solutions to Healthcare, Media, Education, Retail and Manufacturing industry segments (collectively “Solutions”). Consulting and Solutions are grouped together as “Services”.

The Company generates revenues principally from two broad segments, namely Services and Platforms. The Services component includes Consulting that bills on a time & material basis; Solutions that bills on time & material basis; and managed services that bills fixed monthly fees and provides pre-determined services.  The Platform segment bills on transaction basis such as per member per month enrolled for the QBIX/QHIX; per bandwidth consumed for the QBLITZ; and per student per month for the QEDX platforms. The QBIX revenue stream started in 2015. The Company anticipates to increase the Platform based revenues in 2016.
