Sands brothers & Co., LTD was to provide investment banking services to qgly. the agreement was oct 1,1996 I guess george longo was not around to veto that plan.
from 10-QSB On October 1, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with Sands Brothers & Co., Ltd, ("Sands") to assist the Company raise additional capital and to provide other investment banking services. For this service, Sands received 800,000 warrants at an exercise price of $1.75. Subsequently, this contract, was modified in November 1996, and stipulated Sands had the conditional right to purchase, at $10 per share, 200,000 shares of the Company's stock, for every million dollars they identify for the Company in a private placement of the Company's Stock pursuant to Regulation D. The Company desired that the private placement was not to exceed $10 million. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company decided not to pursue a private placement offering. Therefore, the aforementioned possible additional warrants for Sands will not materialize.
However, in order to terminate this arrangement with Sands, the Company issued to Sands 350,000 additional warrants to purchase the Company's stock at $10 per share. Accordingly, a provision for loss of $700,000 ($417,000 net of taxes) for a total of 1,150,000 warrants issued to Sands, and other expenses expected to be incurred, was charged against earnings.
