The entity was non performing and the largest hurdle in current debt on the balance sheet. The company started negotiating with the primary debt holder to divest Planet Eco so SPQS could focus on its primary subsidiary Zabo Foods. Both entities operated under a Memorandum of Understanding restricting the release of public disclosure until execution of the Divestiture Agreement.

SPQS was able to remove $1,549,874.00 in current liabilities. SPQS will now focus on its primary subsidiary Zabo Foods which had shown incredible potential in 2011 but was crippled with the need for financing and significant current debt held by SPQS. Zabo Foods has three main staples of products, Zabo chips, sauces, and distribution of Stevia.Commenting on the divestment, CEO of SPQS Jeffery Burns said: “We identified our problems in June and have worked as fast as possible to right the ship.
