Amendment No. 6 to Registration Statement on Form 10-12G filed December 13, 2023
Business Overview, page 1
1.Your response to prior comment 1 does not provide sufficient information for us to
evaluate why you would not be an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940. Please provide a more detailed explanation regarding whether the company
could be considered an investment company under the 1940 Act. Also, please provide a
more detailed analysis as to how your acquisition strategy will not cause you to be an
investment company under the 1940 Act.
Quality International Co. Ltd FCZ, page 19
2.Please revise the disclosure throughout this section to clarify whether references to "we"
and "our" are to Ilustrato Pictures International, Inc. or Quality Industrial Corp. For
example, we note the disclosure on page 20 that "we issued to an accredited investor a
two-year convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,100,000 (the

“August 2022 Note”). The August 2022 Note bears interest at 7% per annum. We have the
right to prepay the August 2022 Note at any time. All principal on the August 2022 Note
is convertible into shares of our common stock." However, there is no disclosure
elsewhere in your document that you issued such a note in the principal amount of
$1,100,000.
3.We note your response to prior comment 6 and the second Whereas clause in the
Shareholder Guarantee filed as exhibit 2.17 that "WHEREAS, the Guarantors are also
guaranteeing that certain amount of the purchase consideration to be paid by QIND and
received by the Guarantors or the Company ... and be applied towards the settlement of
certain loans from the National Bank of Fujairah PJSC and/or the Company Legacy
Assets, as that is defined in the Share Purchase Agreement" and section 1 of exhibit 2.17.
Please disclose the amount of loans that are guaranteed and the relationship, if any,
between the guarantors and the National Bank of Fujairah PJSC.
4.Please disclose the amount of the "Company Legacy Assets" that are guaranteed. In this
regard, we note the definition of "Company Legacy Assets" on page 1 of the Share
Purchase Agreement filed as exhibit 2.9. Also, disclose the total amount of accounts
receivable and any other assets that are guaranteed by Gerab National Enterprises LLC. In
addition, disclose the relationship, if any between the guarantors and the customers of
Quality International Co. Ltd FCZ in which the balances owed from the accounts
receivable of such customers are guaranteed.
5.Please ensure that you have disclosed the material terms of the Share Purchase Agreement
and the Amended Share Purchase Agreement, such as the escrow provision in the
agreements are not discussed in your amended Form 10. Also the documents, such as the
escrow agreement, mentioned on page 13 of the Share Purchase Agreement are missing.
Please revise accordingly.
6.We note the disclosure in the last paragraph on page 21 about two board seats of Quality
International. Please also discuss the operational control of Quality International, such as
whether Quality Industrial currently has full voting and managerial control over Quality
International, or if certain milestones or other conditions in the purchase agreement must
be met first.
Legal Proceedings, page 32
7.We note your response to prior comment 2. Please ensure that you provided the
disclosure required by Item 103 of Regulation S-K, such as the disclosure on page 33
about the "new motion seeking a monetary judgment in Black Ice’s in the amount of
$3.772 million for the historic note with a principal amount of $4,000."
Risk Factors, page 35
8.We note the new disclosure on pages 20-21 about the revised payment
arrangement. Please include a risk factor to address the risk to you if Quality Industrial is

unable to make timely payments under the Share Purchase Agreement and the transaction
is terminated by Quality International. Regarding the $5 million tranche payment due on
September 15, 2023 and the $73.5 million tranche payment due on or before November
30, 2023 that have not been paid, revise the appropriate section to clarify whether Quality
Industrial has any arrangements for additional funding to make the payments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources, page 72
9.The operating cash flow discussion in the fourth paragraph of page 72 appears to be
outdated and is not reflective of the audited consolidated statements of cash flows on page
F-8. In addition, we note that you have included another discussion of operating cash
flows in the sixth paragraph, immediately following the table, which also incorrectly
refers to net cash provided by operating activities in the year 2021 instead of net cash
used. Please revise the section to eliminate all inconsistent and confusing disclosure.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-2
10.We note that your auditor refers to relying on the work of the auditors of Quality
International Inc. Ltd FZC for fiscal year 2022 in forming its opinion. Please file the audit
report of the other auditors in the filing, as required by Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X. Also
note that, in accordance with Rule 2-02 of Regulation S-X, the other auditors' report must
indicate that the financial statements were audited in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB, and that the auditor must be registered with the PCAOB, if in performing the
audit the firm played a "substantial role" in the audit of Ilus, as that term is defined in
PCAOB Rule 1001(p)(ii).
11.Further, we note that in its report your auditor refers to the subsidiary as Quality
International Inc. Ltd FZC while elsewhere in the document you use the name Quality
International Co Ltd FCZ or Quality International Co Ltd FZC. Please revise the filing
throughout to consistently use the correct name of this subsidiary.
Note 1: Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-9
12.Please have your auditor revise its audit report to include an explanatory paragraph stating
that the previously issued financial statements have been restated for the correction of an
error and to refer to the disclosure of the correction in the notes to the financial
statements. Refer to paragraphs 9-10 and 16-17 of PCAOB Auditing Standard 2820.
13.Please revise your consolidated balance sheets on page F-5 to label the column for the
year ended December 31, 2022 as "restated".
14.Please revise your disclosures in Note 1 to correctly reference Form 10, not the Annual
Report, Form 10-K, or Form 10-K/A.

Note 2: Summary of Accounting Policies
Business Segment, page F-19
15.We note the revised segment disclosures provided in response to comment 10. Please
revise the table on page F-19 to disclose your 2022 non-operating income for the
Emergency and Response Division. Currently, the amounts in the table do not add up.
Similarly, revise the other non-operating expenses presented for your Industrial and
Manufacturing Division to correctly show a negative amount of $(104,550) instead
of $104,550.
Leases, page F-21
16.The revised lease disclosures provided in response to comment 12 do not appear to
include the amounts relating to your total lease cost for the operating lease cost, short-term
lease cost, and variable lease cost. In addition, the disclosures do not include a maturity
analysis showing the undiscounted cash flows on an annual basis for a minimum of each
of the first five years and a total of the amounts for the remaining years. Please revise the
disclosures to comply with ASC 842-20-50-4 and ASC 842-20-50-6 or explain to us why
they are not required.
Note 10: Non-Current Liabilities, page F-30
17.We note your response to comment 14 indicating that you chose not to record warrants in
your financial books if the exercise price is significantly higher than the current market
price and instead you classify them as a contingent liability. Please provide us with the
guidance in US GAAP on which you based this policy. Explain in detail how that
guidance is applicable to your circumstances. Also, explain to us when you began
applying the accounting policy for warrants described in your 2023 Forms 10-
Q. Alternatively, if true, revise the filing to disclose that you classified the warrants as
liabilities pursuant to the guidance in ASC 470 and ASC 815, and recorded a zero fair
value for the warrant liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
Note 11: Common Stock and Preferred Stock, page F-31
18.We note your response to comment 16 that the redeemable preferred stock was initially
categorized as mezzanine equity, and it is now deemed as temporary equity due to an
ongoing case with FB Fire Technologies Ltd. However, we note that the Class E
redeemable preferred stock is classified as permanent equity as of December 31, 2022.
Please revise your disclosure to classify the redeemable preferred stock as temporary
equity, or as previously requested, provide us with a detailed analysis with appropriate
references to supporting accounting guidance on which you relied in concluding that the
redeemable preferred shares should be classified in permanent equity.

19.We note your response to comment 20 and your table displaying the range of potential
outcomes for the contingent consideration. Please disclose the amount of the contingent
consideration arrangement recognized as of the acquisition date and the basis for
determining the amount of the payment. Refer to ASC 805-30-50-1.c.
Exhibit 23.2: Financial Statements of Quality International Co. Ltd FZC, page X-23
20.We note the information filed in response to comment 17, but note the audit report
indicates that the financial statements of Quality International Co. Ltd FZC for the year
ended December 31, 2021 are audited in accordance with International Standards of
Auditing. Also, you did not include an audit report covering the year ended December 31,
2020. Please revise the filing to include financial statements for the required periods that
are audited in accordance with either (i) the standards of the PCAOB or (ii) United States
Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, as required by Rules 2-02 and 1-02 of Regulation
S-X. Include Rule 2-02 of Regulation S-X compliant audit reports covering all reported
periods. To the extent the auditor refers to relying on the work of another auditor in its
report, please file the other auditor's report, as required by Rule 2-05 of Regulation S-X.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
