You could rent refinery proponent’s head office by the hour. We did.

There's an app for getting a head office

Estevan – So just where are Quantum Energy Inc., and its Canadian subsidiary, Dominion Energy Processing Group, Inc., based?

The S-1 filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was filed on EDGAR, their electronic filing system, on March 6, 2017, right around the time the company was doing numerous meetings in southeast Saskatchewan. The documents are dated Feb. 22, 2017.

The filings can be found here

The S-1 filing, General form for registration of securities under the Securities Act of 1933, is a critical document in filing for a securities listing.

Quantum Energy, Inc.’s February 2017 S-1 filing lists its head office address as 60 East Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 900 Tempe, Arizona 85281.

A quick search on Google maps and using Google Streetview shows an impressive steel and glass building in Tempe, Az. The 12-story building is referred to as Hayden Ferry Lake, although some references call it Hayden Ferry Lakeside.

That particular address, Suite 900, was listed as “office space available” on the Downtown Tempe Authority website, as of Jan. 24, 2018. It has 4,000 square feet, divisible, and the contact is listed as Regus Group.

Head office can be rented by the hour, through an app

The “Regus Group” portion is key. You see, they have an app for that.

On the iTunes app store, you can download the Regus app. If you are travelling all over North America, they have numerous listings of office spaces available for rent on short term, temporary basis, even by the hour.

If you download the Regus app, and enter Tempe, Arizona, on it, seven results come up. The first one is Hayden Ferry Lake. It’s address? 60 E Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 900, Tempe, Az. 85281

The signs outside and on the building look impressive, listing Microsoft, MetLife and KPMG as tenants. It also has Regus on the side of the building.

The building overlooks a small reservoir which forms the border between Tempe and Scottsdale, on the eastern side of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area.

Using the app, you can choose “Book a room.” Room types include meeting room, training room, day office and co-working office. Choosing a day office, for two people, for one hour, a week in advance, comes up as US$26.78.

We have done this, under Brian Zinchuk Publishing, for Mar. 24, 2017, from 9-10 a.m, and have the US$26.78 receipt to prove it. In fact, booking a day office, got us on their radar, despite not having shown up to actually use it. Regus has since sent more than a dozen emails, asking about “your recent visit” following up on if we would like to use them again. The most recent, as of the time of writing, was May 10, 2018. They’ve even phoned several times to ask if we would like to use them again.

This is pertinent in that the S-1 filing’s prospectus summary said, “The registrant was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 4, 2004. Our principal executive offices are located at 60 East Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 900 Tempe, Arizona 85281.”

Head office was rented for $230 per month

Further on in the filing, it says, “The Company leases office space at 60 East Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 900, Tempe, Arizona 85281 as its corporate headquarters at a monthly rent of $230.”

A May 5, 2017, email from Greg Waddington, Regus’ area manager – Tempe, said, “Just following up to see if you decided on an office solution yet. We 6 locations in the east valley with full time private offices starting at less than $300 a month. That includes fully furnished office, unlimited high speed internet, multiline telephones at every desk, mail handling, utilities, janitorial, a free meeting room option and of course 24/7 access. A more cost effective option is our Business World membership which provides you with 5 or 10 office days a month anywhere in our network of 3,000 locations throughout the globe for $189/$299 respectively.”
