COVID-19

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was first identified in late 2019. COVID-19 spread rapidly throughout the world and, in March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. COVID-19 is a pandemic of respiratory disease spreading from person-to-person that poses a serious public health risk. It has significantly disrupted supply chains and businesses around the world. The extent and duration of the COVID-19 impact on our operations and financial position is highly uncertain.

Management cares about the employees, customers and the communities served, so quick and strict action was taken based on the Center for Disease Control and WHO recommendations to combat illness in the workforce and to lessen business interruption for the Company and customers. OMNIQ has been designated an essential business and the operations remain open to serve customers. The Company’s management and employees are focused on safely providing the equipment, parts, and services customers need to continue their work.

Management continues to closely monitor and evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations and will take, the necessary actions to right-size the business in this environment, which is evolving daily. Some potential actions include, but are not limited to, modified work schedules as well as appropriate adjustments to the operating expenditures and capital spending plans.

 

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of Quest Solution, Inc.OMNIQ Corp. 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.

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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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

 

The Company has restricted cashevaluated recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on deposit with a federally insured bank in the amount of $684,610 at September 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.

F-4

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 consolidatedCompany’s financial statements.

 

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONSREVERSE STOCK SPLIT

 

Effective November 20, 2019, the Company implemented a one-for-20 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock (the “Reverse Split”). 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 fairpar value of consideration exchangedcommon stock and if the consideration given isnumber of authorized shares were not cash, measurement is based onadjusted as a result of the fairReverse 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 the Reverse 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 consideration given Reverse Split, proportionate adjustments have been made to the per share exercise price and/or the fair valuenumber of shares issuable upon the exercise or vesting of all preferred stock, stock options and warrants issued by the Company and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Split, which resulted in a proportionate decrease in the number of shares of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excessCompany’s common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise or vesting of costsuch preferred stock, stock options, restricted stock units and warrants, and, in the case of an acquired entity overstock options and warrants, a proportionate increase in the fair valueexercise price of identifiable acquired assetsall such stock options and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

The valuation and allocation process relies on significant assumptions made by management.warrants. In certain situations,addition, the allocationsnumber of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly,shares authorized for future grant under 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. RevisionsCompany’s equity incentive/compensation plans immediately prior to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date.Reverse Split was reduced proportionately.

 

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.

PROPERTYGOODWILL 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 1011 years. Amortization expense for the period endingnine months ended September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016 was $1,276,286 and $1,701,700, respectively.

  September 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  (5,484,153)  (4,207,867)
Intangibles, net $18,210,011  $19,486,297 

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

Years ending December 31,   
2017 $425,429 
2018  1,679,599 
2019  1,471,714 
2020  1,471,714 
2021  1,405,791 
Thereafter  1,641,600 
Total $8,095,847 

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 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 September 30, 20172019 was $1.6 million and December 31, 2016.

ADVERTISING

The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the nine month periods ending September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company spent $183,301 and $77,205 on advertising (marketing, trade show and store front expense), net of co-operative rebates,$1.5 million, 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.

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:

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.

 

F-6F-7

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 period ending September 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 September 30, 2017 and in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

As of September 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”.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 nine months ended September 30, 20172020 and 20162019 were 35,587,2384,339,634 and 36,506,733,3,865,647, 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.

 

GOODWILLThe 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 September 30:

 

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.

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 supersede the existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The new standard focuses on creating a single source of revenue guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers for all industries. The objective of 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 new standard will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and we expect to implement the standard with the modified retrospective approach, which recognizes the cumulative effect of application recognized on that date. We are evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position and cash flows.

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2015-11 (ASC 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. This guidance requires companies to measure inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-11 as of January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis and there is expected to be no impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position, thereby simplifying the current guidance that requires an entity to separate deferred assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 as of January 31, 2016 on a prospective basis. The statement of financial position as of January 31, 2016 reflects the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 amending 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. This ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. 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 FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)(“ASU 2016-08”). ASU 2016-08 does not change the core principle of Topic 606 but clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU 2016-08 is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-08 on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. We are currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 reduces diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in ASU 2016-15 provide guidance on specific cash flow issues including debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, and distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-15 on our consolidated financial statements and results of operations.

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. This new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018; however, early adoption is permitted with prospective application to any business development transaction.

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. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any goodwill impairment.

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

 

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 September 30, 2017,2020, the Company had a working capital deficit of $14,811,674$24.6 million and an accumulated deficit of $34,758,766.$53.8 million. 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. Management’s plansplan to eliminate the going concern situation include,includes, but areis not limited to, the raisecontinuation of additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity, improvedimproving cash flow, management, aggressivemaintaining moderate cost reductions, and the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines.

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 is an FDIC insured institution. The restricted cash in the amount of $684,610 at September 30, 2017 is in excess of the FDIC limit.

For the nine months and year endingended September 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,September 30, 2019, one customer accounted for 16.0%39.0% and 17.3%15.3% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Less Current Portion  (238,700)  (227,932)
Total long term other liabilities $415,397  $332,270 

The Company has purchased key man life insurance policies for some of its executives to insure the Company against risk of loss of an executive. Should loss of an executive occur, those funds would be used to pay off their respective promissory notes, repurchase their shares and settle out any amounts owed to them and their estate.

.

On June 10, 2016, the Company entered into an assignment whereby the insured individuals would assume the key man insurance policies. The agreement stated that the Company assign the policy over to the insured and the insured would assume all the obligations under the premium financed note in place. At September 30, 2017, the three life insurance policies and premium financed notes have been transferred to the insureds.

At September 30, 2017, the balance of amount of the remaining premium financed note is $1,482,850 and the cash value of the policy as of this date is $1,425,537, with a net positive cash value of the policy of $57,313.

The value of the policies is recorded at the new value per the right of offset noted in Topics 210-220. To have a right of offset, the Company would need to show (1) amounts of debt are determinable, (2) reporting entity has the ‘right’ to setoff, (3) the right is enforceable by law, and (4) reporting entity has the ‘intention’ to setoff. Given that the Company has met all of these, the Company has elected to use the right of setoff as the cash value of the policies is being used as the collateral for the loans. Should the Company default on payments to the policy or determine to not continue with the policies, the cash value of the policy is intended to pay off the loan. The Company also intends to settle out the loans in the future with the cash value of the policy.

NOTE 9 – DEFERRED REVENUE

Deferred revenue consists of prepaid third party hardware service agreements, software maintenance service contracts and the related costs and expenses recorded net of the revenue charged to the customer and paid within normal business terms. The net amount recorded as a deferred revenue liability is being recognized into the results of operations over the related periods on a straight line basis, normally 1-5 years with 3 years being the average term.

NOTE 106 – CREDIT FACILITIES AND LINE OF CREDIT

 

On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Factoring and Security Agreement (the “FASA”) with Action Capital Corporation (“Action”) to establish a sale of accounts facility, whereby the Company may obtain short-term financing by selling and assigning to Action acceptable accounts receivable. Pursuant to the FASA, the outstanding principal amount of advances made by Action to the Company at any time shall not exceed $5,000,000.$5.0 million. Action will reserve and withhold an amount in a reserve account equal to 10%5% of the face amount of each account purchased under the FASA. The balance outstanding under the Action credit line at September 30, 2017 was $3,677,6612020 and at December 31, 2016 $5,059,2922019, was $3.2 million and $1.4 million respectively, which includes accrued interest.

 

The per annum interest rate with respect to the daily average balance of unpaid advances outstanding under the FASA (computed on a monthly basis) will be equal to the “Prime Rate” of Wells Fargo Bank N.A. plus 2%, plus a monthly fee equal to 0.75% of such average outstanding balance. The Company shall also pay all other costs incurred by Action under the FASA, including all bank fees. The FASA will continue in full force and effect unless terminated by either party upon 30 days’ prior written notice. Performance of the Company’s obligations under the FASA is secured by a security interest in certain collateral of the Company. The FASA includes customary representations and warranties and default provisions for transactions of this type.

StockThese options and warrants were valued at the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation methodology. The Company determines the assumptions used in the valuation of warrants and option awards as of the date of grant. Differences in the expected stock price volatility, expected term or risk-free interest rate may necessitate distinct valuation assumptions at those grant dates. As such, the Company may use different assumptions for options and warrants granted throughout the year. The valuation assumptions used to determine the fair value of each option/warrant award on the date of grant were: expected stock price volatility 152.5% - 155.6%; expected term in years 1.0-10.0; and risk-free interest rate 0.22%-1.16%. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing model could materially affect compensation expense recorded in future periods.

NOTE 11 – LITIGATION

 

Our subsidiary, OMNIQ Vision, Inc. (f/k/a HTS (USA), Inc.), was previously in litigation with a former employee who claimed that he was owed wages and commissions. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the case had been resolved. While the terms of the resolution are confidential, management has determined that the amounts involved in resolving the case are immaterial to the financial statements taken as a whole.

The Company is currently pursuing legal claims against two former employees who resigned from the Company to launch a competing business, RedLPR LLC (the “RedLPR case”). The claims include trade secret misappropriation and tortious interference. The RedLPR case was filed in the U.S. District Court, District of Utah on June 24, 2019.

The Company recently was named a defendant in a Mississippi state lawsuit that is directly related to the RedLPR case (the “Mississippi case”). The Mississippi case also names RedLPR, LLC as a defendant. The Mississippi case was brought by Riverland Park Technologies (“Riverland”). Riverland is also a party to the RedLPR case. The Mississippi case was filed in the Circuit Court of Rankin County, Mississippi on September 21, 2020.

The Company was named a defendant in a case involving a former employee who claims he is owed approximately $60 thousand in unpaid commissions. The Company’s position is that the former employee’s claims have no apparent factual basis and appear to be designed to force a quick “nuisance value” settlement. This case was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego on October 21, 2020.

The company is not a party to any other pending material legal proceeding. To the knowledge of management, no federal, state or local governmental agency is presently contemplating any proceeding against the Company. To the knowledge of management, no director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the Company’s Common Stock is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company in any proceeding.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2017,2020, 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 officerour Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial and Accounting Officer) concluded that, as of September 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures arewere 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 its 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 our Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During 2019, 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 March 30, 2020.
