NobleCON13 annual small cap and emerging growth investor conference is dedicated to providing a forum where private and publicly traded emerging growth companies with less than $2 billion in market capitalization can network with the investment community, fund managers and high net worth investors who focus on small cap equities.

"The Nobel conference's focus on emerging growth companies is a perfect fit for Quest," said Mr. Hatch. "Last year we experienced strong growth, added new lines of business, including integrated sustainability programs in the manufacturing sector, and brought in $50 million in potential additional annualized revenue," said Mr. Hatch. "We expect to continue to grow and expand our business year over year and feel we have the executive team in place to drive success."

In connection with our growth strategy, we recently added David Sweitzer to our executive management team. Mr. Sweitzer was appointed October 3, 2016 as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Sweitzer's focus is on executing the company's strategy, streamlining operations to increase efficiencies, maximizing margin, and developing an operation that is both flexible and highly scalable.

The options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on October 3, 2016. For each of fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019, Mr. Sweitzer will receive a grant of options to purchase 10,500 shares of our common stock, which will vest yearly over a period of five years from the date of grant and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
