Briefly, an "investment contract" exists when there is an investment or placement of money in a common enterprise with a reasonable expectation of profits to be derived from the efforts of others which is prominent in the scheme of ROYAL Q/ROYAL Q GLOBAL/ROYAL Q MOBILE APP/ROYAL QUANTITY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO., LIMITED. As such, the Securities Regulation Code (SRC) requires that said offer and sale of securities must be duly registered with the Commission and that the concerned entity and/or its agents should have the appropriate registration and/or license to sell such securities to the public.

Further, the scheme employed by ROYAL Q/ROYAL Q GLOBAL/ROYAL Q MOBILE APP/ROYAL QUANTITY INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CO., LIMITED , shows indication of a possible "Ponzi Scheme" where monies from new investors are used in paying "fake profits" to prior investors and is designed mainly to favor its top recruiters and prior risk takers and is detrimental to subsequent members in case of scarcity of new investors. The offering and selling of securities in the form of investment contracts using the "Ponzi Scheme" which is fraudulent and unsustainable, is NOT a registrable security. The Commission will not issue a License to Sell Securities to the Public to persons or entities that are engaged in this business or scheme.
