NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATIONAND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES-

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The interim consolidated financial statements of Quest Solution, Inc. include the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, Inc., an Oregon Corporation, and Quest Exchange Ltd., a Canadian based holding Company.

Divesture of Canadian Operations

Effective September 30, 2016, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of Quest Solution Canada Inc., and the consideration received was $1.0 million in cash, which was all collected at June 30, 2017. In addition, the Company has redeemed 1 share of Preferred Class B Stock and 1,839,030 shares of Preferred Class C Stock of the Company, as well as the accrued dividend of $31,742 thereon. Lastly, Quest Exchange Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed 5,200,000 exchangeable shares as part of the divestiture.

Additionally, as part of the transaction, Viascan Group Inc., the acquirer, assumed $1.0 million of liabilities which the Company had at September 30, 2016. Other consideration that is part of the transaction included:

Full release from five employment contracts, inclusive of the former CEO, Gilles Gaudreault. This release included cancelation of the contracts as well as the deferred salary and signing bonus provisions which would have inured to the employee.
The Company canceled the intercompany debts of approximately $7.0 million as well. The Company will also receive a contingent consideration of 15% of the net value proceeds, up to a maximum of $2.3 million, receivable upon a liquidity event or a change of control of Quest Solution Canada Inc. for a period of 7 years subsequent to the transaction.
The Company also has a right of first refusal for any offer to purchase Quest Solution Canada Inc. for a 7 year period.
The assets sold consisted primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, and other assets. The buyer also assumed certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

The operations of Quest Solution Canada Inc. have been classified as a discontinued operation and the assets and liabilities of Quest Solution Canada Inc. have been classified as held for disposal.company.

 

On December 31, 2016, the Company merged BCS in Quest Marketing to form one US legal entity as part of its streamlining efforts.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

 

F-4 

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 20162017 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017.May 8, 2018. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.reports, except for the adoption of ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company operates in one segment.

 

Operating results for the threesix months ended June 30, 20172018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesSUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of Quest Solution, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Cash

Cash consistsAdoption 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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company maintains its cashNew Accounting Pronouncement in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits.

The Company has restricted cash on deposit with a federally insured bank in the amount of $684,610 at June 30, 2017. This cash is security and collateral for a corporate credit card agreement with a bank and for deposit against a letter of credit issued for executive life insurance policies owned by the Company.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. The Company uses historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances to form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for its 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.

F-5 

The valuation and allocation process relies 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 receives 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 RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company provides allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all receivables. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company’s management determines which accounts are past due and if deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable in the period the determination is made. The Company generally requires no collateral to secure its ordinary accounts receivable.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at purchased cost and depreciated using both straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. Upon disposition of property and equipment, related gains and losses are recorded in the results of operations. For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using the modified accelerated cost recovery system. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 10 years. Amortization expense for the period ending June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $850,857 and $1,701,700, respectively.

  June 30, 2017  December 31,2016 
Goodwill $10,114,164  $10,114,164 
Trade Names  4,390,000   4,390,000 
Customer Relationships  9,190,000   9,190,000 
Accumulated amortization  (5,058,724)  (4,207,867)
Intangibles, net $18,635,440  $19,486,297 

The future amortization expense on the Trade Names and Customer Relationships are as follows:

Years ending December 31,   
2017 $850,857 
2018  1,679,599 
2019  1,471,714 
2020  1,471,714 
2021  1,405,791 
Thereafter  1,641,601 
Total $8,521,276 

F-6 

Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our 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.

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 June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

ADVERTISING

The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the six month periods ending June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company spent $92,629 and $42,046 on advertising (marketing, trade show and store front expense), net of co-operative rebates, respectively. 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 in the period earned.

INVENTORY

Substantially all inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods and are valued based upon first-in first-out (“FIFO”) cost, not in excess of market. The determination of whether the carrying amount of inventory requires a write-down is based on a detailed evaluation of inventory relative to any potential slow moving products or discontinued items as well as the market conditions for the specific inventory items.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the non-cash write-down of tangible and intangible assets over their expected economic lives. We expect this expense to continue to grow in absolute dollars and potentially as a percentage of revenue as we continue to grow and incur capital expenditures to improve our technological infrastructure and acquire assets through potential future acquisitions.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants 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:

F-7 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical 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 on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews 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.

Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring BasisFiscal 2018

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 period ending June 30, 2017 or fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

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 the quarter ending June 30, 2017 and in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company does not have any unrecorded contingent liabilities.

NET 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 six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were 35,472,251 and 36,323,489, 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.

F-8 

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:

  As of June 30, 
  2017  2016 
Options to purchase common stock  5,625,000   6,044,000 
Convertible preferred stock  3,143,530   10,082,560 
Convertible debentures  553,000   553,000 
Warrants to purchase common stock  1,405,000   1,410,000 
Common stock subject to repurchase  (507,079)  (2,157,079)
Potential shares excluded from diluted net loss per share  10,219,451   15,932,481 

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.

We test 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 Solution, Inc.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency for the Company is U.S. dollars. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded using the appropriate exchange rate at the time of the transaction. All of the Company’s continuing operations are conducted in U.S. dollars. The Company owns a non-operating subsidiary in Canada, from which it has received no revenue since October 1, 2016. Canadian records of the divested Canadian operation were maintained in the local currency and re-measured to the functional currency as follows: monetary assets and liabilities are converted using the balance sheet period-end date exchange rate, while the non-monetary assets and liabilities are converted using the historical exchange rate. Expenses and income items are converted using the weighted average exchange rates for the reporting period. Foreign transaction gains and losses are reported on the consolidated statement of operations and were included in the amount of loss from discontinued operations.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, which is currently performed by the external auditors. Management will be required to perform this assessment for both interim and annual reporting periods and must make certain disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on our financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance under ASU 2014-09 that will supersedesupersedes the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The new standard, ASC Topic 606, focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objective of ASC Topic 606, the new standard, is for companies to recognize revenue when it transfers the promised goods or services to its customers at an amount that represents what the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year (ASU 2015-14). This ASU will now be effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Since the issuance of the original standard, the FASB has issued several other subsequent updates including the following: 1) clarification of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations (ASU 2016-08); 2) further guidance on identifying performance obligations in a contract as well as clarifications on the licensing implementation guidance (ASU 2016-10); 3) rescission of several SEC Staff Announcements that are codified in Topic 605 (ASU 2016-11); and 4) additional guidance and practical expedients in response to identified implementation issues (ASU 2016-12). The Company took into the guidance provided in these ASUs related to revenue recognition.

Accordingly, the Company has adopted ASC Topic 606 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition approach, in which the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. An adjustment to decrease deferred revenue in the amount of $1,213,218 was established on the date of adoption relating to amounts deferred related to extended service contract sales through December 31, 2017. Prior to adoption of ASC Topic 606 net revenue from the sales of these contracts would be recognized immediately since the Company has no continuing obligation related to the sale of these products if the new guidance had been applied in the past. As a result of the adoption the Company recognizes revenue from extended service contracts on a net versus gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASC Topic 606 as an adjustment of $1,213,218 of net deferred revenue to the opening balance of accumulated deficit.

Deferred net revenue on December 31, 2017 $1,213,217 
     
Accumulated deficit on December 31, 2017 $(35,554,994)
     
Accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018 $(34,341,777)
     
Net loss on June 30, 2018 $(3,404,376)
Less: Preferred stock - Series C dividend $(94,950)
     
Accumulated deficit on June 30, 2018 $(37, 841,103)

Under this approach, revenue for 2017 is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income on the historical basis, and revenue for 2018 is reported in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income under ASC Topic 606. A comparison of revenue for 2018 periods to the historical basis is included below. The Company acknowledges that the required adoption of ASC Topic 606 could have a material effect on annual revenue or net income from continuing operations on an ongoing basis.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10Leases (Topic 842),Codification Improvements and ASU 2018-11Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, to provide additional guidance for the adoption of Topic 842. ASU 2018-10 clarifies certain provisions and correct unintended applications of the guidance such as the application of implicit rate, lessee reassessment of lease classification, and certain transition adjustments that should be recognized to earnings rather than to stockholders’ equity. ASU 2018-11 provides an alternative transition method and practical expedient for separating contract components for the adoption of Topic 842.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) which requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases with terms greater than 12 months. ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-10, and ASU 2016-02 (collectively, “the new lease standards”) are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect the new lease standards will have on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the Company anticipates recognizing assets and liabilities arising from any leases that meet the requirements under the new lease standards on the adoption date and including qualitative and quantitative disclosures in the Company’s Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09,Codification Improvements.The amendments in ASU 2018-09 affect a wide variety of Topics in the FASB Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The Company has evaluated ASU 2018-09 in its entirety and determined that the amendments related to Topic 718-740,Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, are the only provisions that currently apply to the Company. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 related to Topic 718-740,Compensation-Stock Compensation-Income Taxes, clarify that an entity should recognize excess tax benefits related to stock compensation transactions in the period in which the amount of the deduction is determined. The amendments in ASU 2018-09 related to Topic 718-740 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and supersedes the guidance in Subtopic 505-50,Equity - Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Under ASU 2018-07, equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards are measured at the grant date fair value on the grant date. The probability of satisfying performance conditions must be considered for equity-classified nonemployee share-based payment awards with such conditions. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. This standard amends Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) to provide guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the Tax Reform Act) pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, which allows companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740 within a one-year measurement period from the Tax Act enactment date. This standard is effective upon issuance. As described in the footnotes to the Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Tax Reform Act is being assessed; however, in certain cases, as described below, we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and valuation allowance. The Company determined that the $62.9 million recorded in connection with the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets and liabilities, and corresponding valuation allowance was a provisional amount and a reasonable estimate at December 31, 2017. The Company has not completed the accounting with regard to the tax effects associated with an intra-entity transfer of certain intellectual property rights with the enactment of Tax Reform Act. Our accounting for the intra-entity transfer reflects the utilization of net operating losses on the basis of the laws in effect before the Tax Reform Act.  The Company is evaluating the impact under Tax Reform Act on the Company’s global business structure. In all aspects, the Company will continue to make and refine calculations as additional analysis is completed. The Company expects to complete the accounting assessment during the one year measurement period provided by SAB 118.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) that will eliminate the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, impairment charge will be based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. This new standard clarifies the definition of a business and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 amendingamended the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and requiring lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months, including those classified as operating leases. Both the asset and liability will initially be measured at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, with the asset being subject to adjustments such as initial direct costs. Consistent with current U.S GAAP, the presentation of expenses and cash flows will depend primarily on the classification of the lease as either a finance or an operating lease. The new standard also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases in order to provide additional information about the nature of an organization’s leasing activities. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires modified retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09 amending several aspects of share-based payment accounting. This guidance requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recorded in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, with prospective application required. The guidance also changes the classification of such tax benefits or tax deficiencies on the statement of cash flows from a financing activity to an operating activity, with retrospective or prospective application allowed. Additionally, the guidance requires the classification of employee taxes paid when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows, with retrospective application required.

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 June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

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

The Company has restricted cash on deposit with a federally insured bank in the amount of $665,477 at June 30, 2018. This cash is security and collateral for a corporate credit card agreement with a bank and for deposit against a letter of credit issued for executive life insurance policies owned by the Company.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties to such an extent that there is reasonable likelihood that materially different amounts could have been reported under different conditions, or if different assumptions had been used. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. The Company uses historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances to form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

F-11 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company provides allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all receivables. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company’s management determines which accounts are past due and if deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable in the period 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 accounts of $12,501 and $12,501 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

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 10 years. Amortization expense for the period ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $850,858 and $1,701,714, respectively.

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 the reporting unit’s 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. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-04—Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 requires goodwill impairments to be measured on the basis of the fair value of a reporting unit relative to the reporting unit’s carrying amount rather than on the basis of the implied amount of goodwill relative to the goodwill balance of the reporting unit. Thus, ASU 2017-04 permits an entity to record a goodwill impairment that is entirely or partly due to a decline in the fair value of other assets that, under existing GAAP, would not be impaired or have a reduced carrying amount. Furthermore, the ASU removes “the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test.” Instead, all reporting units, even those with a zero or negative carrying amount will apply the same impairment test. Accordingly, the goodwill of reporting unit or entity with zero or negative carrying values will not be impaired, even when conditions underlying the reporting unit/entity may indicate that goodwill is impaired.

We test our goodwill 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.

None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Intangibles

Intangible assets with finite useful lives consist of Trademark and customer lists and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which range from two to seven years. The estimated useful lives associated with finite-lived intangible assets are consistent with the estimated lives of the associated products and may be modified when circumstances warrant. Such assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount. The amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the impaired asset. There was no impairment recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

ADVERTISING

The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company spent $75,568 and $92,629 on advertising (marketing, trade show and store front expense), net of co-operative rebates, respectively. 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 in the periods they are received.

INVENTORY

Substantially all inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods and are valued based upon first-in first-out (“FIFO”) cost, not in excess of market. The determination of whether the carrying amount of inventory requires a write-down is based on a detailed evaluation of inventory relative to any potential slow moving products or discontinued items as well as the market conditions for the specific inventory items.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants 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 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 on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews 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.

NET 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 six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were 41,856,966 and 35,472,251, 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.

Dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because such securities have no anti-dilutive impact due to losses reported.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency for the Company is U.S. dollars. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recorded using the appropriate exchange rate at the time of the transaction. All of the Company’s continuing operations are conducted in U.S. dollars. The Company owns a non-operating subsidiary in Canada, from which it has no activity since October 1, 2016.

Reclassifications and adjustments — Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. The impact of the reclassifications made to prior year amounts is not material and did not affect net loss.

 

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 acquisitions. As of June 30, 2017,2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $14,940,888$14,448,529 and an accumulated deficit of $33,808,344.$37,841,103. 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 to obtain additional debt or equity financing for working capital (i.e., vendor trade credit extensions ) or refinancing (restructuring of subordinated debt) as may be required and, ultimately, to attain profitable operations. Management is focused on reducing operating expenses.basis.

NOTE 3 – CONCENTRATIONS

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Beginning January 1, 2015, all of our cash balances were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. This coverage is available at all FDIC member institutions. The Company uses Wells Fargo Bank, which areis an FDIC insured institutions.institution. The restricted cash in the amount of $684,610$665,477 at June 30, 20172018 is in excess of the FDIC limit.

Accounts receivable at June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 20162017 are made up of trade receivables due from customers in the ordinary course of business. One customer made up 23.7%33.84% and another customer 33.1%15.7% of the trade accounts receivable balances at June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

 

Accounts payable are made up of payables due to vendors in the ordinary course of business at June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016.2017. One vendor made up 80.5%42.3% and 76.4%70.1%, respectively of the outstanding balance, which represented greater than 10% of accounts payable at June 30, 20172018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

NOTE 4 –DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS – DIVESTURE OF QUEST SOLUTION CANADA, INC.

Effective September 30, 2016, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of Quest Solution Canada Inc. The Company decided to sell this division primarily because it has incurred significant operating losses.

The consideration received was $1.0 million in cash, which was all collected at June 30, 2017. In addition, the Company has redeemed 1 share of Preferred Class B Stock and 1,839,030 shares of Preferred Class C Stock of the Company, as well as the accrued dividend of $31,742 thereon. Lastly, Quest Exchange Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed 5,200,000 exchangeable shares as part of the divestiture.

F-12 

Additionally, as part of the transaction, Viascan Group Inc., the acquirer, assumed $1.0 million of liabilities which the Company had at September 30, 2016. Other consideration that is part of the transaction included:

Full release from five employment contracts, inclusive of the former CEO, Gilles Gaudreault. This release included cancelation of the contracts as well as the deferred salary and signing bonus provisions which would have inured to the employee.
The Company canceled the intercompany debts of approximately $7.0 million as well. The Company will also receive a contingent consideration of 15% of the net value proceeds, up to a maximum of $2.3 million, receivable upon a liquidity event or a change of control of Quest Solution Canada Inc. for a period of 7 years subsequent to the transaction.
The Company also has a right of first refusal for any offer to purchase Quest Solution Canada Inc. for a 7 year period.
The assets sold consisted primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, and other assets. The buyer also assumed certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

On September 30, 2016, the Company divested its Canadian operations, Quest Solution Canada, Inc., in order to focus its efforts and resources on its US operations. This represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and operating and investing activities cash flows for the former Canadian operations are presented as a discontinued operation separate from the Company’s continuing operations, for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and footnotes, unless indicated otherwise.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2017,2018, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Based onupon that evaluation, our principal executive officerChief Executive Officer and principal financial officerChief Financial Officer, (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) concluded that, as of June 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures are effectivewere ineffective as of the end of the period covered to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with limited staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Principal Executive Officer, and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During 2017, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which were disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2018.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter, i.e.(i.e., the threesix months ended June 30, 2017,2018), that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
