With the resources that Sunbelt has, combined with the medical expertise of Quantum, this is surely a winning combination." Swartz further added, "We have been given the mission to identify and procure medical billing companies, human resources outsourcing, medical consulting and certain strategic medical practices in specific Florida counties." The establishment of this relationship marks another benchmark in the overall development strategy of The Quantum Group, who recently announced the intent to acquire Tektonica-USA, Inc., a construction firm that will specialize in build-outs and renovations for the healthcare industry; and consolidated both Renaissance Health Systems, Inc., a new healthcare delivery system model called the Community Health System, and Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc., whose focus is to develop new and revolutionary technology for use in the healthcare industry. The Company also signed a letter of intent on August 4, 2004 to acquire a medical billing and collections software platform for medical practices. Furthermore, Quantum announced the launch of its new prototype medical association interactive and educational website that was built for the Broward County Medical Association (http://www.bcma.com/). The agreement with Sunbelt is effective immediately and both Mr. Guillama and Mr. Swartz exude confidence in this new relationship. Mr. Guillama added, "The possibilities and potential that lie ahead for The Quantum Group to make a positive impact on the healthcare industry, and for our community at large, is the driving factor of our Company. We look towards the opportunity to make a difference." Mr. Alan Carter, the President of Sunbelt Business Brokers of Southeast Florida, said, "This assignment is a reflection of how forward- thinking companies are now recognizing the value of Business Brokers. Companies recognize that to acquire other companies should no longer be an internal effort only. We appreciate the faith that The Quantum Group has placed in Sunbelt and are confident that we will succeed in identifying and closing on viable acquisitions."
