This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with theour consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. HistoricalThe following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that include risks and uncertainties (see discussion of “Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Our actual results and percentage relationshipsmay differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those factors set forth under Item 1A—Risk Factors of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the United States of America and the world, including in the statementprimary regions we operate. Many State Governors issued temporary Executive Orders in 2020, which continue to remain effective in many states that, among other stipulations, effectively limit in-person work activities for most industries and businesses having the effect of suspending or severely curtailing operations. Many of these orders are in the process of being lifted. To date, we have not incurred any significant interruptions to our day-to-day operations or supply chain, except some of our employees have or are working remotely. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we proactively implemented certain measures to strengthen cash flow, manage costs, strengthen liquidity and enhance employee safety. These measures included the reduction of payroll costs, a reduction in capital expenditures and other discretionary spending, the elimination of most business travel and restriction of visitors to our corporate office, enhanced cleaning and disinfection procedures at our corporate office and branch locations, promotion of social distancing and the wearing of face coverings (masks) at our corporate office and branch locations, and requirements for employees to work from home where possible.

As the impact of COVID-19 became more widespread in March 2020, our sales volumes began to decline from previous years. Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020, were 3.48% lower than those of the year ended December 31, 2019. COVID-19 had a more significant impact on our gross margin. Total gross margin percentage dropped 5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. The timing and the extent of any continued recovery, or subsequent contraction, in our sales volumes cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As such, the extent of the ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on various developments, including trendsthe duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on capital and financial markets, governmental limitations on business operations generally, and its and their impact on potential customers, employees, vendors and distribution partners, all of which cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

The Company’s consolidated revenue from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $55.2 million, representing a decrease of $2.0 million from 2019’s amount of $57.2 million.

This Amendment reduced the number of shares issued in the acquisition to 568,415 shares from 1,122,648 shares and the amount of share consideration to approximately $2.7 million from approximately $5.3 million. This adjustment was made as a result of a correction in the calculation of working capital and other share give back provisions of the HTS Purchase Agreement.

In April 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with accredited investors (the “Purchasers”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in April, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate, with the Conversions included, of $5.0 million of units (the “Units”) resulting in gross proceeds of $5.0 million (the individual Unit price purchase price was $6.00), before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses (the “Offering”). Each Unit was comprised of one share of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and a warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, and, as a result of the Offering, the Company issued 833,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 833,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $7.00 per Warrant Share, which Warrants are exercisable for a period of five and one-half years from the issuance date. Both Mr. Shai Lustgarten, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Carlos J. Nissensohn, a consultant to and principal stockholder of the Company, participated in the offering by each converting $200 thousand of unpaid principal owed to them from the HTS acquisition (the “Conversions”), by the Company in exchange for Shares and Warrants on the same terms as all other Purchasers. With the Conversions included, the Offering resulted in gross proceeds of $5.0 million. As a result of the Conversions, a principal amount of $150 thousand is owed to each Walefar and Campbeltown respectively under the note issued to them as partial consideration in the sale of HTS Image Processing to the Company on October 2018.

GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $ 25.3 million. These facts and others raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis.

Management’s plan to eliminate the going concern situation includes, but is not limited to, the following:

The continuation of improving cash flow by implementing and maintaining moderate cost reductions;
Increasing the accounts receivable factoring line of credit;
Negotiating lower interest rates on outstanding debt;
Potential issuances of additional common stock;
The creation of additional sales and profits across product lines, and obtaining sufficient financing to restructure current debt in a manner more in line with the Company’s improving cash flow and cost reduction successes;
In our portfolio of products, we have a computer vision technology that is based on AI and machine learning concepts. These solutions have a higher gross profit that will provide an increase in cashflow on a consolidated basis going forward. We have an operating facility with the ability for light manufacturing and assembling components, which helps reduce the cost of goods and increase profit margins;
In April 2019, the Company raised approximately $5.0 million in gross proceeds from the sale of 833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The application of many accounting principles requires us to make assumptions, estimates and/or judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. These assumptions, estimates and/or judgments, however, are often subjective and they and our actual results may change based on changing circumstances or changes in our analyses. If actual amounts are ultimately different from our estimates, the revisions are included in our results of operations for the period in which the actual amounts first become known. We believe the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results if we were to change underlying assumptions, estimates and/or judgments. See also note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a summary of our significant accounting policies.

Revenue Recognition.

When entering into contracts with our customers, we review follow the five steps outline in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):

i.Identify the contract with our customer.
ii.Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
iii.Determine the transaction price.
iv.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. And
v.Evaluate the satisfaction of the performance obligations,

We account for contracts, with our customers, when we have approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

We evaluate, in accordance with Topic 606, whether or not we meet the criteria to be a principal or an agent and record the revenue on a gross or net basis. We are considered a principal if we obtain control of any one of the following:

i.A good or another asset from another party that we then transfer to our customer.
ii.A right to a service to be performed by another party, which gives the us the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on our behalf, and
iii.A good or service from another party that we then combine with other goods or services in providing the specified good or service to our customer.

We have certain relationships with manufacturers and suppliers to sell us products or provide services. Our contracts may transfer to our customer a right to a future service or product to be provided by our manufacturer or supplier. When a specified good or service is a right to a good or service is provided by a manufacturer or supplier, we evaluate whether we control the right to the goods or services before that right is transferred to the customer rather than whether we control the underlying goods or services.

Indicators that we control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer (and we are therefore a principal) include, but are not limited to, the following:

i.

We are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service. This typically includes responsibility for the acceptability of the specified good or service. If we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, this may indicate that the other party involved in providing the specified good or service is acting on our behalf. Often, we provide value added services (combining hardware, integrating hardware to software, etc.) to the products and services purchased from our manufacturers and suppliers.

ii.We have inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer. Our purchases of products or services from our manufactures and suppliers is evidenced by our issuing a binding purchase order contract with the negotiated terms including specifications, pricing, delivery among other things. Our obligation for purchased products and services is mutually exclusive of our customers’ performance (failure to take acceptance, make payment, etc.)
iii.We have sole discretion in establishing our price for the specified good or service. Establishing the price our customer pays for a specified good or service may indicate we have the ability to direct the use of that good or service and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits. We control and set the pricing for the product or services to be provided to our customers.

If the terms of a transaction do not indicate we are acting as a principal in the transaction, we are then considered acting as an agent and the associated revenues would be recognized on a net basis.

As principal, when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation, we recognize revenue in the gross amount of consideration which we expect to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred. We are an agent if our performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified good or service by another party. As an agent, we do not control the specified good or service provided by another party before that good or service is transferred to our customer. As an agent, when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation, we recognize revenue in the amount of any fee or commission which we expect to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by another party to our customer.

Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue (on either a gross or net basis previously discussed) only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to our customer. A good or service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control. The standard defines control as an entity’s ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, an asset. We recognize revenue (either gross or net) once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer:

i.We have a right to payment for the product or service,
ii.The customer has legal title to the product,
iii.We have transferred physical possession of the product to the customer,
iv.The customer has the risk and rewards of ownership of the product, and
v.The customer has accepted the product.

Revenue Recognition for Hardware. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in these transactions, with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales. We recognize revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer.

Manufacturers and suppliers, from whom we purchase hardware, often provide their warranties only providing assurance the products and services will conform to their specifications. These assurance type warranties are not sold separately and are not considered separate performance obligations. In some transactions, a third-party will provide the customer with an extended warranty. These extended warranties are sold separately and provide the customer with a service in addition to assurance that the product will function as expected. We consider these warranties to be separate performance obligations from the underlying product. For warranties, where we are arranging those services be provided by a third-party, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and records revenue on a net basis at the point of sale.

16

Revenue Recognition for Software. Sales of software licenses are generally considered a single performance obligation. When we are considered to be the principal, we recognize revenues on a gross basis at the point the software is delivered to and accepted by our customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software assurance, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the latest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software assurance is in effect.

As explained above, we evaluate whether the software assurance is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering:

i.If the software provides its original intended functionality to the customer without the updates,
ii.If the customer would ascribe a higher value to the upgrades versus the up-front deliverable,
iii.If the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such as updates that maintain the original functionality), and
iv.If the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades.

If we determine the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license, the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance are recognized as a single performance obligation.

In some transactions, a third-party will provide the customer with an extended warranty. These extended warranties are sold separately and provide the customer with a service in addition to assurance that the product will function as expected. We consider these warranties to be separate performance obligations from the underlying product. For warranties, where we are arranging those services be provided by a third-party, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and records revenue on a net basis at the point of sale.

Revenue Recognition for Services. We provide professional services, which include project managers and consultants recommending, designing and implementing IT solutions. Revenue from professional services is recognized either on a time and materials basis or proportionally, as costs are incurred for fixed fee project work. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis each month as work is performed and we transfers those services.

Revenues from the sale of professional and support services, provided by us, are recognized over the period the service is provided. As the customer receives the benefit of the service each month, we recognize the respective revenue on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in the transaction. Additionally, we manage services team provides project support to customers that are billed on a fixed fee basis. We are acting as the principal in the transaction and recognize revenue on a gross basis based on the total number of hours incurred for the period over the total expected hours for the project. Total expected hours to complete the project is updated for each period and best represents the transfer of control of the service to the customer.

Freight Costs. We record both the freight billed to its customers and the related freight costs as cost of sales when the underlying product revenue is recognized. For freight not billed to its customers, we record the freight costs as cost of sales. The Company considers shipping to be a fulfillment activity and not a separate performance obligation.

Evaluation of Goodwill Impairment.

We have made acquisitions in the past that resulted in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently, if triggering events occur or other impairment indicators arise which might impair recoverability.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment. We performed a Step 1 quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2020, our annual impairment test date. We compared the carrying value inclusive of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, to its fair value. We estimated the fair value of these reporting units by weighting results from the income approach and the market approach, as further described below. Based on this quantitative test, we determined there was no impairment as of the December 31, 2020.

For purposes of performing the quantitative impairment test described above, we estimate the fair value by utilizing fair value techniques consistent with the income approach and market approach. When performing the income approach for each reporting unit, we use a discounted cash flow analysis based on our internal projected results of operations, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) and terminal value assumptions. Our cash flow projections are based on five-year financial forecasts developed by management that include revenue projections, capital spending trends, and investment in working capital to support anticipated revenue growth. The WACC is an estimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise and represents the expected cost of new capital likely to be used by market participants. The WACC is used to discount our combined future cash flows. The inputs and variables used in determining the fair value of a reporting unit require management to make certain assumptions regarding the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes, as well as estimates of future cash flows. Our estimates regarding future cash flows are based on historical experience and projections of future operating performance, including revenues, margins and operating expenses. We also make certain forecasts about future economic conditions, interest rates and other market data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates may change in future periods. Changes in assumptions or estimates could materially affect the estimate of a reporting unit’s fair value, and therefore could affect the likelihood and amount of potential impairment. Under the market approach, we compare the reporting units to selected reasonably similar (or “guideline”) publicly traded companies. Under this method, valuation multiples are: (i) derived from the operating data of selected guideline companies; (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of our reporting unit relative to the selected guideline companies; and (iii) applied to the operating data of our reporting unit to arrive at an indication of value. The application of the market approach results in an estimate of the price reasonably expected to be realized from a sale of the Company.

Stock Based Compensation

We periodically issue stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) where the value of the award is measured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.

We record stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the expected volatility and expected option life assumption consistent with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is estimated based on a historic volatility rate and the expected option life is calculated based on historical stock option experience as the best estimate of future exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates consistent with the expected life of each stock option grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense is recorded for all stock options expected to vest based on the amortization of the fair value at the date of grant on a straightline basis primarily over the vesting period of the options.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The guidance removes the following exceptions: 1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, 2) exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, 3) exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary and 4) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Additionally, the guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by: 1) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, 2) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction, 3) specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements (although the entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority), 4) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and 5) making minor improvements for income tax accounting related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method. ASU 2019-12 became effective on January 1, 2021 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard establishes an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, we recognize an allowance for our estimate of expected credit losses over the entire contractual term of our receivables from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. Topic 326 applies to trade receivables from certain revenue transactions including receivables from equipment sales, parts and service sales. Under Topic 606 revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services transferred to a customer. At the point that these trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life are recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures or our existing internal controls because accounts receivable are of short duration and there is not a material difference between incurred losses and expected losses.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities are no longer required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

The

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving their objectives. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgement and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Due to their inherent limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal controlscontrol over financial reporting. It is possible to design safeguards to reduce, but not eliminate, this risk. Management is responsible for the Company are provided by executive management’s reviewestablishing and approval of all transactions. The Company’smaintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:

(1)pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
(2)provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management; and
(3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject tofor the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.Company.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, managementhas used the criteriaframework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control—Integrated Framework published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation(2013 framework), known as COSO, to evaluate the effectiveness of the designour internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of itsdeficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, and testingsuch that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based on this assessment, management hassuch evaluation, our CEO concluded that, as of December 31, 2015,2020, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective.

As a result of our evaluation, we identified a material weakness in our controls related to segregation of duties and other immaterial weaknesses in several areas of data management and documentation.

Our management is composed of a small number of professionals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of duties exist. Accordingly, as a result of the material weakness identified above, we have concluded that the control deficiencies result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements may not be prevented on a timely basis by the Company’s internal control overcontrols. We continue to employ and refine a structure in which critical accounting policies, issues and estimates are identified, and together with other complex areas, are subject to multiple reviews by executives. In addition, we evaluate and assess our internal controls and procedures regarding our financial reporting, was effectiveutilizing standards incorporating applicable portions of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s 2009 Guidance for Smaller Public Companies in Auditing Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting as necessary on an on-going basis. We have implemented a new ERP and accounting software in 2020 that encompasses all our subsidiaries. This software allows for a higher level of control, better audit trail and improved segregation of duties and improves the Company’s overall compliance with COSO but the deficiency is still present. The hiring of additional staff is dependent upon our obtaining sufficient cash flows from operations or financings.

While the material weakness set forth above were the result of the scale of the Company’s operations and is intrinsic to provide reasonable assurance regardingits small size, the reliabilityCompany believes the risk of material misstatements relative to financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.are minimal.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Our Board is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of our independent auditor. It is the policy of our Board to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accountants. On June 6, 2019, RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) notified the Company of its resignation, effective immediately, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. RBSM served as the auditors of the Company’s financial statements for the period from the Company’s fiscal year end December 31, 2014 through the date of dismissal. On June 6, 2019, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Haynie & Company to provide audit services for the year ending December 31, 2019. Our Board has considered whether the provision by Haynie & Company of services of the varieties described below is compatible with maintaining the independence of Haynie & Company. Our Board believes that Haynie & Company only provided audit services. We use another firm to provide tax compliance services.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quest Solution, Inc.OMNIQ Corp. and subsidiaries (“The Company”)Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20152020 and 2014,2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 20152020, and 2014. the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Consideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a deficit in stockholders’ equity, and has sustained recurring losses from operations. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidatedthe Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements.misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included considerationAs part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence supportingregarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessingstatements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement presentation.statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion,Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements referredthat were communicated or required to above present fairly, in allbe communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material respects,to the financial positionstatements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of Quest Solution, Inc.critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and subsidiaries,we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Goodwill — Refer to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements

The Company has goodwill of $14.7 million as of December 30, 2020. The Company evaluates its goodwill at least annually or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company performed a goodwill analysis by calculating the fair value of its operating segment using both an income and market approach and comparing it to the carrying amount of its goodwill. The income approach employed a discounted cash flow using a forecast developed by management. The market approach used information from comparable companies to calculate a value using multiples of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. These valuation methods require management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to projected cash flows. No impairment was recorded by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020

We identified goodwill as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions made by management to estimate fair value, including the impact of forecasted growth, and the difference between the fair values and the carrying values as of December 31, 20152020. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and 2014an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialist, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions related to certain assumptions within the results of its operations, and itsprojected cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.flows.

 

The accompanyingAddressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming thatstatements. These procedures included, among others, gaining an understanding of management's process for developing the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2fair value estimate. We also evaluated the expertise, qualifications, and independence of management’s specialist engaged to complete the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiencyevaluation. We used professionals inside our firm with specialized skills and significant subordinated debt resulting from acquisitions. These factors raise substantial doubt aboutknowledge to assess the Company’s abilitymethodology. In evaluating the Company’s assumptions, we compared them to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regardhistorical results, financial information subsequent to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result fromyear end, and to customer orders to be filled. Finally, we considered the outcomesensitivity of this uncertainty.their cash flow model assumptions by assessing different scenarios.

COVID-19

The outbreak of the sharesCOVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the United States of Bar Code Specialties, Inc. (“BCS”) locatedAmerica and the world, including in Southern California. BCS isthe primary regions we operate. Many State Governors issued temporary Executive Orders in 2020, that, among other stipulations, effectively limited in-person work activities for most industries and businesses having the effect of suspending or severely curtailing operations. Many of these orders are in the process of being lifted.. To date, we have not incurred any significant interruptions to our day-to-day operations or supply chain, except some of our employees have or are working remotely. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we proactively implemented certain measures to strengthen cash flow, manage costs, strengthen liquidity and enhance employee safety. These measures included the reduction of payroll costs, a national mobility systems integratorreduction in capital expenditures and label manufacturer withother discretionary spending, the elimination of most business travel and restriction of visitors to our corporate office, enhanced cleaning and disinfection procedures at our corporate office and branch locations, promotion of social distancing and the wearing of face coverings (masks) at our corporate office and branch locations, and requirements for employees to work from home where possible.

As the impact of COVID-19 became more widespread in March 2020, our sales volumes began to decline from previous years. Our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020, were 3.48% lower than those of the year ended December 31, 2019. COVID-19 had a focusmore significant impact on warehouseour gross margin. Total gross margin percentage dropped 5% for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to 2019. The timing and the extent of the continued recovery in our sales volumes cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As such, the extent of the ultimate impact of the pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on various developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, the impact on capital and financial markets, governmental limitations on business operations generally, and its and their impact on potential customers, employees, vendors and distribution industries. Since the combinationpartners, all of the two companies, the company has been exploring efficiencies in all facets of the businesses and learning best practices from both executive teams.which cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.

Effective October 1, 2015, the Company acquired the interest in ViascanQdata, Inc., (“Viascan”) a Canadian based operation in the same business line as Quest and their CEO, Gilles Gaudreault, was appointed the CEO of Quest, with our then CEO, Tom Miller, remaining as President and Chairman of the Board.

NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has acquired a significant working capital deficit and issued a substantial amount of subordinated debt in connection with its recent acquisitions. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $20,093,457 and an accumulated deficit of $18,457,236. The Company is dependent on the completion of working capital financings, vendor trade credit extensions, restructuring of subordinated debt and private placement of its securities in order to continue operations. These factors taken together raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATIONPrinciples of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

TheOur consolidated financial statements of Quest include the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, BCSfinancial position and ViascanQdata. BCS was acquired on November 21, 2014, and as such the operating results of BCS have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning on November 22, 2014. Effective October 1, 2015,of OMNIQ Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries Quest Marketing, Inc., Quest Exchange Ltd., and HTS Image Processing, Inc., collectively referred to herein as “we” or “us” or “our” or the financial statements of ViascanQData, Inc. (“ViascanQdata”) have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations as well. The Companies currently operate as a single business unit. “Company.”

All materialsignificant intercompany transactionsaccounts and accountstransactions have been eliminated in consolidation.these consolidated financial statements. Business combinations are included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSUse of Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to use its judgment to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosures at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These assumptions and estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ materially from those estimates. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis based on information currently available, and changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise these estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

Cash consists of petty cash, checking, savings, and money market accounts. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 20152020 and 2014.2019.

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federalfederally insured limits. At

The Company has restricted cash on deposit with a federally insured bank in the amount of $533 thousand at December 31, 20152020 and 2014,2019, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

We manage credit risk associated with our accounts receivables at the Company’s uninsured cashcustomer level. Because the same customers typically generate the revenues that are accounted for under both Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Credit Losses (Topic 326)., the discussions below on credit risk and our allowances for doubtful accounts address our total revenues from Topic 606 and Topic 326.

We believe concentration of credit risk, with respect to our receivables, is limited because our customer base is comprised of a number of geographically diverse customers. We manage credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and other monitoring procedures.

Pursuant to Topic 326 for our accounts receivables, we maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects our estimate of our expected credit losses. Our allowance is estimated using a loss rate model based on delinquency. The estimated loss rate is based on our historical experience with specific customers, our understanding of our current economic circumstances, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and our own judgment as to the likelihood of ultimate payment based upon available data. We perform credit evaluations of customers and establish credit limits based on reviews of our customers’ current credit information and payment histories. We believe our credit risk is somewhat mitigated by our geographically diverse customer base and our credit evaluation procedures. The actual rate of future credit losses, however, may not be similar to past experience. Our estimate of doubtful accounts could change based on changing circumstances, including changes in the economy or in the particular circumstances of individual customers. Accordingly, we may be required to increase or decrease our allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on management’s evaluation, accounts receivable has a balance totaled $0in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $28 thousand and $0,$36 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

USE OF ESTIMATESInventory

 

The preparationSubstantially all inventory consists of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally acceptedraw materials and finished goods and are valued at the lower of actual cost or net realizable value; where net realizable value is considered to be estimated selling price in the United Statesordinary course of America requires managementbusiness, less reasonably predictable cost of completion, disposal and transportation.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using both straight-line over the estimated useful lives. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are included in sales, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. However, expenditures for additions or improvements that significantly extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized in the period incurred. At the time assets are sold or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and the related gains or losses are reflected in the statements of operations in gains from sales of property and equipment, net.

We periodically evaluate the appropriateness of remaining depreciable lives assigned to make estimatesproperty and assumptionsequipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 was $178 thousand and $151 thousand, respectively. Generally, we assign the following estimated useful lives to these categories:

CategoryEstimated Useful Life

The FASB fair value measurement guidance established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three broad levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring a company to develop its own assumptions

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observable inputs may result in a reclassification of assets and liabilities within the three levels of the hierarchy outlined above.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, such as cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Goodwill and Intangibles

We have made acquisitions in the past that resulted in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the consolidated financial statementsidentifiable net assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently, if triggering events occur or other impairment indicators arise which might impair recoverability.

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment. We performed a Step 1 quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment as of December 31, 2020, our annual impairment test date. We compared the carrying value inclusive of goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, to its fair value. We estimated the fair value of these reporting units by weighting results from the income approach and the reported amountsmarket approach, as further described below. Based on this quantitative test, we determined there was no impairment as of revenuesthe December 31, 2020.

For purposes of performing the quantitative impairment test described above, we estimate the fair value by utilizing fair value techniques consistent with the income approach and expenses duringmarket approach. When performing the income approach for each reporting period. Certain accounting policies involve judgmentsunit, we use a discounted cash flow analysis based on our internal projected results of operations, weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) and uncertaintiesterminal value assumptions. Our cash flow projections are based on five-year financial forecasts developed by management that include revenue projections, capital spending trends, and investment in working capital to suchsupport anticipated revenue growth. The WACC is an extent that thereestimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise and represents the expected cost of new capital likely to be used by market participants. The WACC is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if differentused to discount our combined future cash flows. The inputs and variables used in determining the fair value of a reporting unit require management to make certain assumptions had been used. The Company evaluates itsregarding the impact of operating and macroeconomic changes, as well as estimates and assumptionsof future cash flows. Our estimates regarding future cash flows are based on a regular basis. The Company uses historical experience and variousprojections of future operating performance, including revenues, margins and operating expenses. We also make certain forecasts about future economic conditions, interest rates and other market data. Many of the factors used in assessing fair value are outside the control of management, and these assumptions and estimates may change in future periods. Changes in assumptions or estimates could materially affect the estimate of a reporting unit’s fair value, and therefore could affect the likelihood and amount of potential impairment. Under the market approach, we compare the reporting units to selected reasonably similar (or “guideline”) publicly-traded companies. Under this method, valuation multiples are: (i) derived from the operating data of selected guideline companies; (ii) evaluated and adjusted based on the strengths and weaknesses of our reporting unit relative to the selected guideline companies; and (iii) applied to the operating data of our reporting unit to arrive at an indication of value. The application of the market approach results in an estimate of the price reasonably expected to be realized from a sale of the Company.

Identifiable intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 11 years.

Leases

We adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): effective January 1, 2019. We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the arrangement based on the terms and conditions in the contract. A contract contains a lease if there is an identified asset and we have the right to control the asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease arrangements can take several forms. Some arrangements are clearly within the scope of lease accounting, such as a real estate contract that provides an explicit contractual right to use a building for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration. However, the right to use an asset can also be conveyed through arrangements that are believednot leases in form, such as leases embedded within service and supply contracts. We analyze all arrangements with potential embedded leases to be reasonable underdetermine if an identified asset is present, if substantive substitution rights are present, and if the circumstancesarrangement provides the customer control of the asset.

Our lease portfolio is substantially comprised of operating leases related to formleases of real estate and improvements. From time to time, we may also lease various types of small equipment and vehicles.

Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an individual asset for the basis for making judgments about carrying values oflease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the lessor’s implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments by utilizing a fully collateralized rate for a fully amortizing loan with the same term as the lease.

Lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain those options will be exercised. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, we record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Our leases can include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into our determination of lease payments when such renewal options and/or termination options are reasonably certain of exercise.

A ROU asset is subject to the same impairment guidance as assets categorized as plant, property, and equipment. As such, any impairment loss on ROU assets is presented in the same manner as an impairment loss recognized on other long-lived assets.

A lease modification is a change to the terms and conditions of a contract that change the scope or consideration of a lease. For example, a change to the terms and conditions to the contract that adds or terminates the right to use one or more underlying assets, or extends or shortens the contractual lease term, is a modification. Depending on facts and circumstances, a lease modification may be accounted as either: (1) the original lease plus the lease of a separate asset(s) or (2) a modified lease. A lease will be remeasured if there are changes to the lease contract that do not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.give rise to a separate lease.

 

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONSPurchase Accounting and Business Combinations

 

The Company accountsWe account for itsour business combinations using the purchase method of accounting which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

 

The valuation and allocation process reliesprocesses rely on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receiveswe receive updated information, including appraisals and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date.

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLERevenue Recognition.

When entering into contracts with our customers, we review follow the five steps outline in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):

i.Identify the contract with our customer.
ii.Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
iii.Determine the transaction price.
iv.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations. And
v.Evaluate the satisfaction of the performance obligations,

We account for contracts, with our customers, when we have approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

We evaluate, in accordance with Topic 606, whether we meet the criteria to be a principal or an agent and record the revenue on a gross or net basis. We are considered a principal if we obtain control of any one of the following:

i.A good or another asset from another party that we then transfer to our customer.
ii.A right to a service to be performed by another party, which gives the us the ability to direct that party to provide the service to the customer on our behalf, and
iii.A good or service from another party that we then combine with other goods or services in providing the specified good or service to our customer.

We have certain relationships with manufacturers and suppliers to sell us products or provide services. Our contracts may transfer to our customer a right to a future service or product to be provided by our manufacturer or supplier. When a specified good or service is a right to a good or service is provided by a manufacturer or supplier, we evaluate whether we control the right to the goods or services before that right is transferred to the customer rather than whether we control the underlying goods or services.

Indicators that we control the specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer (and we are therefore a principal) include, but are not limited to, the following:

i.We are responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service. This typically includes responsibility for the acceptability of the specified good or service. If we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service, this may indicate that the other party involved in providing the specified good or service is acting on our behalf. Often, we provide value added services (combining hardware, integrating hardware to software, etc.) to the products and services purchased from our manufacturers and suppliers.
ii.We have inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer. Our purchases of products or services from our manufactures and suppliers is evidenced by our issuing a binding purchase order contract with the negotiated terms including specifications, pricing, delivery among other things. Our obligation for purchased products and services is mutually exclusive of our customers’ performance (failure to take acceptance, make payment, etc.
iii.We have sole discretion in establishing our price for the specified good or service. Establishing the price our customer pays for a specified good or service may indicate we have the ability to direct the use of that good or service and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits. We control and set the pricing for the product or services to be provided to our customers.

If the terms of a transaction do not indicate we are acting as a principal in the transaction, we are then considered acting as an agent and the associated revenues would be recognized on a net basis.

As principal, when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation, we recognize revenue in the gross amount of consideration which we expect to be entitled in exchange for the specified good or service transferred. We are an agent if our performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of the specified good or service by another party. As an agent, we do not control the specified good or service provided by another party before that good or service is transferred to our customer. As an agent, when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation, we recognize revenue in the amount of any fee or commission which we expect to be entitled in exchange for arranging for the specified goods or services to be provided by another party to our customer.

Under Topic 606, we recognize revenue (on either a gross or net basis previously discussed) only when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to our customer. A good or service is considered to be transferred when the customer obtains control. The standard defines control as an entity’s ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, an asset. We recognize revenue (either gross or net) once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer:

i.We have a right to payment for the product or service,
ii.The customer has legal title to the product,
iii.We have transferred physical possession of the product to the customer,
iv.The customer has the risk and rewards of ownership of the product, and
v.The customer has accepted the product.

Revenue Recognition for Hardware. Revenues from sales of hardware products are recognized on a gross basis as we are acting as a principal in these transactions, with the selling price to the customer recorded as sales and the acquisition cost of the product recorded as cost of sales. We recognize revenue from these transactions when control has passed to the customer.

 

Accounts receivableManufacturers and suppliers, from whom we purchase hardware, often provide their warranties only providing assurance the products and services will conform to their specifications. These assurance type warranties are carriednot sold separately and are not considered separate performance obligations. In some transactions, a third-party will provide the customer with an extended warranty. These extended warranties are sold separately and provide the customer with a service in addition to assurance that the product will function as expected. We consider these warranties to be separate performance obligations from the underlying product. For warranties, where we are arranging those services be provided by a third-party, we are acting as an agent in the transaction and records revenue on a net basis at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company provides allowancesthe point of sale.

Revenue Recognition for uncollectible accounts receivable equalSoftware. Sales of software licenses are generally considered a single performance obligation. When we are considered to be the principal, we recognize revenues on a gross basis at the point the software is delivered to and accepted by our customer. Generally, software licenses are sold with accompanying third-party delivered software assurance, which is a product that allows customers to upgrade, at no additional cost, to the estimated collection losseslatest technology if new capabilities are introduced during the period that the software assurance is in effect.

As explained above, we evaluate whether the software assurance is a separate performance obligation by assessing if the third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software itself. This involves considering:

i.If the software provides its original intended functionality to the customer without the updates,
ii.If the customer would ascribe a higher value to the upgrades versus the up-front deliverable,
iii.If the customer would expect frequent intelligence updates to the software (such as updates that maintain the original functionality), and
iv.If the customer chooses to not delay or always install upgrades.

If we determine the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance is critical or essential to the core functionality of the software license, the software license and the accompanying third-party delivered software assurance are recognized as a single performance obligation.

In some transactions, a third-party will provide the customer with an extended warranty. These extended warranties are sold separately and provide the customer with a service in addition to assurance that the product will function as expected. We consider these warranties to be incurred in collection of all receivables. Accounts receivableseparate performance obligations from the underlying product. For warranties, where we are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company’s management determines which accountsarranging those services be provided by a third-party, we are past due and if deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivableacting as an agent in the periodtransaction and records revenue on a net basis at the determination is made. The Company generally requires no collateral to secure its ordinary accounts receivable. Based on management’s evaluation, accounts receivable has a balance in the allowance for doubtful accountspoint of $83,870 and $66,215 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.sale.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENTRevenue Recognition for Services. We provide professional services, which include project managers and consultants recommending, designing and implementing IT solutions. Revenue from professional services is recognized either on a time and materials basis or proportionally, as costs are incurred for fixed fee project work. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis each month as work is performed and we transfers those services.

 

PropertyRevenues from the sale of professional and equipmentsupport services, provided by us, are stated at purchased cost and depreciated using both straight-line and accelerated methodsrecognized over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. Upon dispositionthe period the service is provided. As the customer receives the benefit of property and equipment, related gains and lossesthe service each month, we recognize the respective revenue on a gross basis as we are recordedacting as a principal in the resultstransaction. Additionally, we manage services team provides project support to customers that are billed on a fixed fee basis. We are acting as the principal in the transaction and recognize revenue on a gross basis based on the total number of operations.

Total expected hours to complete the project is updated for each period and 2014best represents the transfer of control of the service to the customer.

Freight Costs. We record both the freight billed to its customers and the related freight costs as cost of sales when the underlying product revenue is recognized. For freight not billed to its customers, we record the freight costs as cost of sales. The Company considers shipping to be a fulfillment activity and not a separate performance obligation.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective November 20, 2019, we implemented a one-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The par value of common stock and the number of authorized shares were not adjusted as a result of the reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts in the financial statements and notes thereto have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented to give effect to this reverse stock split, including reclassifying an amount equal to the reduction in par value of common stock to additional paid-in capital. As a result of the Reverse Split, proportionate adjustments have been made to the per share exercise price and/or the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all stock options and warrants issued by the Company and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of such stock options, Preferred stock, restricted stock units and warrants, and, in the case of stock options and warrants, a proportionate increase in the exercise price of all such stock options and warrants. In addition, the number of shares authorized for future grant under the Company’s equity incentive/compensation plans immediately prior to the Effective Time was $155,798reduced proportionately.

Stock-Based Compensation

We periodically issue stock options and $16,222, respectively. For federal income tax purposes, depreciationwarrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. We account for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees based on the authoritative guidance provided by Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) where the value of the award is computedmeasured on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense on the straight-line basis over the vesting period.

We record  stock-based compensation expense according to the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, the Company determines the appropriate fair value model to be used for valuing share-based payments and the amortization method for compensation cost.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the modified accelerated cost recovery system. ExpendituresBlack-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company estimates the expected volatility and expected option life assumption consistent with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. The expected volatility of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is estimated based on a historic volatility rate and the expected option life is calculated based on historical stock option experience as the best estimate of future exercise patterns. The dividend yield assumption is based on historical and anticipated dividend payouts. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on observed interest rates consistent with the expected life of each stock option grant. The Company uses historical data to estimate pre-vesting option forfeitures and records stock-based compensation expense only for major renewalsthose awards that are expected to vest. Compensation expense is recorded for all stock options expected to vest based on the amortization of the fair value at the date of grant on a straightline basis primarily over the vesting period of the options.

In August 2020, the Board of Directors approved our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and betterments that extendlater amended it. In September 2020, our shareholders adopted and ratified the useful lives2020 Equity Incentive Plan. The total number of property and equipment are capitalized.

Equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to parties other than employees for acquiring goods or services under guidance of section 505-50-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC Section 505-50-30”). Pursuant to FASB ASC Section 505-50-30, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.

 

ADVERTISINGWarrants

The fair value of the warrants is estimated on the date of issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected term of the warrants, expected stock price volatility, and expected dividends. These estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. Expected volatilities used in the valuation model are based on the average volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Advertising

 

The Company generally expenses marketing and advertising costs as incurred. During 20152020 and 2014,2019, the Company spent $159,599$283 thousand and $236,142,$224 thousand, respectively, on marketing, trade show and store front expense and advertising, net of co-operative rebates.

 

The Company received rebates on advertising from co-operative advertising agreements with several vendors and suppliers. These rebates have been recorded as a reduction to the related advertising and marketing expense.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair valueCompany is U.S. dollars. Transactions in currencies other than the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price)functional currency are recorded using the appropriate exchange rate at the time of the transaction. All of our continuing operations are conducted in U.S. dollars except its subsidiary located in Israel. The records of the Israeli operation were maintained in the principal or most advantageous market forlocal currency and re-measured to the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participantsfunctional currency as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that prioritize the use of observable inputs over the use of unobservable inputs, when such observable inputs are available. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical monetary assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.

Assets and liabilities are classified based onconverted using the lowest level of input that is significant tobalance sheet period-end date exchange rate, while the fair value measurements.

Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures certain liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis such as our contingent consideration related to business combinations and recognizes transfers within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There have been no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the fiscal years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014.

The Company has classified its contingent consideration related to the acquisitions as a Level 3 liability.Revenue and other assumptions used in the calculation require significant management judgment. The Company reassesses the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis. Based on that assessment, the Company recognized an adjustment of $0 to the actual calculation of the earn-out obligations during each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

As of December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any contingent liabilities.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Recurring technology and services revenue consists of subscription-based fees, software subscription license fees, software maintenance fees and hosting fees related to the use of our solution to manage our customers’ communications expenses, as well as fees for perpetual software licenses and professional services and products sold.

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery or performance of service has occurred. Recurring technology and services subscription-based fees, software subscription license fees, software maintenance fees and hosting fees are recognized ratably over the term of the period of service. The subscription-based services we provide include help desk, staging, carrier activations and provisioning.

Sales revenue is recognized upon the shipment of merchandise to customers. The Company recognizes revenues from software sales when software products are shipped.

Software license fees consist of fees paid for a perpetual license agreement for our technology, which are recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 605, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended.

Professional services related to the implementation of our software products, which we refer to as consulting services, are generally performed on a fixed fee basis under separate service arrangements. Consulting services revenue is recognized as the services are performed by measuring progress towards completion based upon either costs or the achievement of certain milestones.

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were 36,195,065 and 33,596,375, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the fully diluted number of 45,477,429 includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting their debt into common shareholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $2,269,006 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $1,254,382). Despite the fact the conversion is “out of the money”, accounting rules require these amounts to be included in diluted shares outstanding. Additional terms of the debt would require the Board of Directors to consent to any debt holder converting and having a position greater than 4.99% outstanding on the date of conversion.

The fully diluted number of 45,213,835 includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting their debt into common shareholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $2,269,006 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $1,254,382) as well as the 5,200,000 shares of Series B exchange shares issued related to the ViascanQdata acquisition. The 5,200,000 shares of Series B are exchangeable on a 1 for 1 basis into common stock of the Company. Despite the fact the conversion is “out of the money”, accounting rules require these amounts to be included in diluted shares outstanding. Additional terms of the debt would require the Board ofDirectors to consent to any debt holder converting and having a position greater than 4.99% outstanding on the date of conversion.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 7,454,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 5,200,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Series B Preferred Stock and 3,818,769 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. 

Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested annually at December 31 for impairment. The annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill exists. A qualitative assessment evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of a quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss may be recognized. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value then an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. No impairment charges have been recorded as a result of the Company’s annual impairment assessments.Income Taxes

 

We testaccount for our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. We are required to write down the value of goodwill only when our testing determines the recorded amount of goodwill exceeds the fair value. Our annual measurement date for testing goodwill impairment is December 31, at which date we test our reporting units, which is currently our ownership in Quest Marketing.

None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U. S. Dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) in stockholder’s equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current earnings. The functional currency for Quest is the U. S. Dollar.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for consolidated financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

F-11

The CompanyWe also followsfollow the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

 

Our income is subject to taxation in both the U.S. and a foreign jurisdiction, Israel. Significant judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company has evaluatedestablishes reserves for income tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the deferredextent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves for tax contingencies are established when the we believe positions do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATIONComprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as a change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources and includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Our other comprehensive income (loss) is composed of foreign currency translation adjustments.

Net Loss Per Common Share

See NOTE 14 regarding our 1-for-20 reverse stock split. Share related amounts have been retroactively adjusted in this report to reflect this reverse stock-split for all periods presented.

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were 4,322,303 and 3,889,478, respectively. Diluted net loss per share of common stock is the same as basic net loss per share of common stock because the effects of potentially dilutive securities are antidilutive.

The following table sets forth the potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because such securities have an anti-dilutive impact due to losses reported:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The guidance removes the following exceptions: 1) exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, 2) exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, 3) exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary and 4) exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. Additionally, the guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by: 1) requiring that an entity recognize a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax, 2) requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction, 3) specifying that an entity is not required to allocate the consolidated amount of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements (although the entity may elect to do so (on an entity-by-entity basis) for a legal entity that is both not subject to tax and disregarded by the taxing authority), 4) requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and 5) making minor improvements for income tax accounting related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method. ASU 2019-12 became effective on January 1, 2021 and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The amendments of this ASU should be applied on a prospective basis. We intend to continue to monitor the developments with respect to the planned phase-out out of LIBOR after 2021 and work with our lenders to seek to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition. However, we can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR as there can be no assurances as to whether such replacement or alternative base rate will be more or less favorable than LIBOR. Our exposure related to the expected cessation of LIBOR is limited to the interest expense we incur on balances outstanding under our Credit Facility. The potential impact from the cessation of LIBOR as a reference rate, as well as the applicability of ASU 2020-04, is not currently estimable.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, Credit Losses (Topic 326). This standard establishes an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, we recognize an allowance for our estimate of expected credit losses over the entire contractual term of our receivables from the date of initial recognition of the financial instrument. Measurement of expected credit losses are based on relevant forecasts that affect collectability. Topic 326 applies to trade receivables from certain revenue transactions including receivables from equipment sales, parts and service sales. Under Accounting Standard Codification Topic 606 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers), revenue is recognized when, among other criteria, it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it is entitled for goods or services transferred to a customer. At the point that these trade receivables are recorded, they become subject to the CECL model and estimates of expected credit losses over their contractual life are recorded at inception based on historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The adoption of Topic 326 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures or our existing internal controls because accounts receivable are of short duration and there is not a material difference between incurred losses and expected losses.

On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework. ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities are no longer required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but public companies are required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requiresaccompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of $25.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $56.7 million. These facts and others raise substantial doubt about the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards madeCompany’s ability to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases relatedcontinue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan basedgenerate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on the estimated fair values.a timely basis.

 

For non-employee stock-based compensation, we have adopted ASC Topic 505 “Equity-Based PaymentsManagement’s plan to Non-Employees”, which requires stock-based compensation relatedeliminate the going concern situation includes, but is not limited to, non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC Topic 718.following:

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has evaluated the recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the company’s financial statements.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

IntangibleWe have made acquisitions in the past that resulted in the recognition of goodwill. Based on our analysis there have been no impairment charges recorded against goodwill in 2020 and 2019. Identifiable intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 1011 years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 20152020 and 20142019 was $2,506,168$2.1 million and $9,376,$2.0 million, respectively.

Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. OurThe impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company has made a significant investment in software over the years. This amount is treated as intangible assets which are being amortized over the expected useful life. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for potential impairment.

 

Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (using an accelerated method for customer relationships and trade names) to their estimated residual values, if any. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade names, and internal use software and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to nine years. Purchased intangible assets are reviewed annually to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the rate of amortization is accelerated, and the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life. No impairments were identified or changes to estimated useful lives have been recorded as of December 31, 20152020 and 2014.2019.

As  of December 31, 2015,2019, the Company had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of approximately $15,151,000.$22.1 million. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in 2024. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC Section 382”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its use of pre-change NOL carryforwards to offset future taxable income. Within the meaning of IRC Section 382, an “ownership change” occurs when the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders (generally 5% shareholders, applying certain look-through rules and aggregation rules which combine unrelated shareholders that do not individually own 5% or more of the corporation’s stock into one or more “public groups” that may be treated as 5-percent shareholder) increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders’ lowest percentage ownership during the testing period (generally three years). In general, the annual use limitation equals the aggregate value of common stock at the time of the ownership change multiplied by a specified tax-exempt interest rate. The Company has not completed a study as to whether there is a 382 limitation on its NOLs that will limit or possibly eliminate the use of its NOLs in the future. Company’s Management has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on the entire NOL as it believes that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset associated with the NOLs will not be realized regardless of whether or not an “ownership change” has occurred.
