RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement in Fiscal 20182019

In May 2014, the FASB issued new revenue recognition guidance under ASU 2014-09 that supersedes 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. 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.

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 $1,213,218 
     
Accumulated deficit on December 31, 2017 $(35,554,994)
     
Accumulated deficit on January 1, 2018 $(34,341,776)
     
Net loss on March 31, 2018 $(949,005)
Less: Preferred stock - Series C dividend $(48,125)
     
Accumulated deficit on March 31, 2018 $(35,338,906)

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.

In January 2017,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04,2018-10Intangibles – GoodwillLeases (Topic 842),Codification Improvements and OtherASU 2018-11Leases (Topic 350)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 will eliminateshould 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 requirementadoption of Topic 842.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02Leases (Topic 842) which requires an entity to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measurerecognize assets and liabilities arising from 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 islease 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. We adopted the Company instandard on January 1, 2019 by applying the first quarternew lease requirements utilizing the Effective Date Method for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. We elected the package of fiscal 2023. Early adoption is permitted.practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which included carrying forward historical assessments of: (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The early adoption of this guidancestandard resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of $237,731 and additional lease liabilities of $237,731 as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, absent any goodwill impairment.our operating results or cash flows.

 

In January 2017,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying2018-09,Codification Improvements.The amendments in ASU 2018-09 affect a wide variety of Topics in the DefinitionFASB Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of a Business. Thisthe 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 adoption of the new standard clarifiesdid not have a current impact on the definitionCompany’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. The adoption did not materially impact 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 February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 amended 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.

The Company has evaluated other recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s 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 March 31, 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 $381,494 at March 31, 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.

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 three months ended March 31, 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 711 years. Amortization expense for the period ended March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 was $425,429$542,309 and $1,701,714,$1,784,390, respectively.

2019  1,471,714 
2020  1,471,714 
2021  1,405,792 
2022  786,000 
Thereafter  855,600 
Total $7,244,990 

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 three months ended March 31, 2018.

ADVERTISING

The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company spent $39,008 and $188,077 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”.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 three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 71,681,522 and 2017 were 37,125,286, and 35,141,560, 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.

 

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 March 31,: 

  2019  2018

Reclassifications and adjustments — Certain prior year amounts in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform with 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. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $13,803,498$20,880,835 and an accumulated deficit of $35,338,906.$40,431,495. 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 continuation of improving cash flow, maintaining moderate cost reductions (subsequent to aggressive cost reduction actions already taken in 20172018 and in the first quarter of 2018)2019), the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines, and the obtaining of sufficient financing to restructure current debt in a manner more in line with the Company’s improving cash flow and cost reduction successes.

 

The matters that resulted in 2017,2018 having substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, have been somewhat mitigated by the successful debt reduction settlements finalized in December of 2017 as detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 8, 2018.June 5, 2019. 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 be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Finance lease liabilities are classified according to contractual due dates.

The operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized as of the Company.lease commencement date at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term.

Therefore, we use a discount rate based on our incremental borrowing rate which was between 13.16% and 15.06% for all operating leases. Our operating lease agreements may include options to extend the lease term or terminate it early. We have included options to extend in the operating lease ROU assets and liabilities when we are reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

The reader should understand that several factors govern whether any forward-looking statement contained herein will be or can be achieved. Any one of those factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected herein. These forward-looking statements include plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to the products and the future economic performance of the Company. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, future business decisions, and the time and money required to successfully complete development projects, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in any of the forward-looking statements contained herein will be realized. Based on actual experience and business development, the Company may alter its marketing, capital expenditure plans or other budgets, which may in turn affect the Company’s results of operations. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included therein, the inclusion of any such statement should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives or plans of the Company will be achieved.

Introduction

Quest Solution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quest” or the “Company”), was incorporated in 1973. Prior to 2008, the Company was involved in various unrelated business activities. From 2008-2014, the Company was involved in multiple businesses inclusive of an oil and gas investment company. Due to changes in market conditions, management determined to look for acquisitions which were cash flow positive and would provide immediate shareholder value. In January 2014, the first such acquisition was completed of Quest Marketing Inc. (dba Quest Solution, Inc.) (“Quest Marketing”).

 

Quest is a national mobility systems integrator with a focus on design, delivery, deployment and support of fully integrated mobile solutions. The Company takes a consultative approach by offering end to end solutions that include hardware, software, communications and full lifecycle management services. The professionals simplify the integration process and deliver the solutions to our customers. Motorola, Intermec, Honeywell, Panasonic, AirWatch, Wavelink, SOTI and Zebra are major suppliers which Quest Solution uses in the solutions we provide to our customers.

In May 2014, the Board of Directors voted to get approval from the shareholders of the Company for a name change from Amerigo Energy, Inc. to Quest Solution, Inc. The Company received the approval from a majority of its stockholders and filed the amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Delaware. The name change became effective by the State of Delaware on May 30, 2014. The Company also requested a new stock symbol as a result of the name change and were assigned our new trading symbol “QUES”.

 

The Company’s business strategy developed into leveraging management’s relationships in the business world for investments for the Company. The Company intends to continue with its acquisition of existing companies with revenues and positive cash flow.

 

In November 2014, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Bar Code Specialties, Inc. (“BCS”) located in Southern California. BCS is a national mobility systems integrator and label manufacturer with a focus on warehouse and distribution industries. Since the combination of the two companies, the Company has been exploring efficiencies in all facets of the businesses and learning best practices from both executive teams.

On October 5, 2018, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Walefar and Campbeltown, (Walefar and Campbeltown are collectively referred to as the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of HTS from the Sellers and consequently acquired HTS’s wholly owned subsidiaries HTS USA, Inc. and Teamtronics Ltd.

 

The following is a discussion of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, financial resources, and working capital. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q.

 

OVERVIEW

 

On February 28, 2018, the Company finalized settlement agreements with related parties which have an effective date of December 30, 2017. As part of the settlement agreements, the Company authorized the issuance of 600,000 shares of common stock valued at $59,400, 1,685,000 shares of Preferred Stock valued at $0.80 per share and issued 3,000,000 stock warrants with an exercise price of $.20. The total net amount of debt extinguished in these transactions was $15,418,865.

 

The Company’s sales from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 were $15,180,547$18.6 million, an increase of $742,991$3.4 million, or 5.14%22.7% over the same quarter in 2017.2018.

The loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 20172019 was $949,005 million, an increase$633,358, a decrease of $617,847 million$315,647 compared with the loss in the comparative prior yearthree months ended March 31, 2018 of $331,158.$949,005.  Basic loss per share from continuing operations in Q1-2018 wereQ1-2019 was ($0.03)0.01) versus ($0.01)0.03) per share in Q1-2017.Q1-2018.

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2018,2019, the Company had a working capital deficit of $13,803,498$20,880,835 and an accumulated deficit of $35,338,906.$40,431,495. 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 continuation of improving cash flow, maintaining moderate cost reductions (subsequent to aggressive cost reduction actions already taken in 20172018 and continued in 2018)2019), the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines, and the obtaining of sufficient financing to restructure current debt in a manner more in line with the company’sCompany’s improving cash flow and cost reduction successes. The Company has also diversified its sourcing and procurement of materials and finished goods. The addition of two new key vendors increased the Company’s purchasing power by adding credit availability in an amount just under $6,000,000. The Company also completed a debt settlement with a related party in exchange for equity, eliminating future needs for cash in servicing debt.

With the acquisition of HTS in October 2018, the Company has in its portfolio of products a computer vision technology that is based on artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts. These solutions have a higher gross profit that will provide an increase in cashflow on a consolidated basis. The Company plans for these products to be a significant revenue source in 2019. Also with the acquisition of HTS, the Company acquired an operating facility with the ability for light manufacturing and assembling components. The Company can use HTS’s assembling facility to reduce the cost of goods and increase profit margins.

 

The matters that resulted in 2016, having2018, and a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, have been somewhat mitigated by the successful debt reduction settlements effective in December of 2017.entered into 2018. 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 be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
