QUEST SOLUTION, INC
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The interim consolidated financial statements of Quest Solution, Inc. includes the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“QMI”), and Bar Code Specialties, Inc., a California corporation (“BCS”). BCS was acquired on November 21, 2014, and the operating results of BCS have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning on November 22, 2014. Quest Solution, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries currently operate as a single business unit under the Quest Solution brand. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “Quest Solution, Inc.,” “Quest Solution,” or “Quest” refer only to Quest Solution, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and not to any of its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” refer collectively to Quest Solution, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including QMI and BCS.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP 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.
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, 2014 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on April 9, 2015. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Company 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 are responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits.
F-4 |
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
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. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accounts receivable 90 days past due totaled $78,624 and $118,913, respectively. Based on management’s evaluation, accounts receivable has a balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $20,249, and $62,800 for the period ending September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
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 10 years. Upon disposition of property and equipment, related gains and losses are recorded in the results of operations. Depreciation expense for period ending September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $57,264 and $8,523, respectively. 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 intangible assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Amortization expense for the period ending September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $12,652 and $9,376, respectively.

On August 27, 2015, Quest Solution entered into an Omnibus Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with its former President, Kurt Thomet (“Thomet”) reducing Intangible License asset by $450,000. Included in this agreement was the assignment of license rights to Mr. Thomet that were previously acquired for $450,000 from Rampart Systems. Further details can be found in Note 10.
There are no expected amortization expenses going forward.
The Company has made a significant investment in software over the years. This amount is treated as intangible assets which are being amortized over the expected useful life. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for potential impairment.
Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (using an accelerated method for customer relationships and trade names) to their estimated residual values, if any. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade names, and internal use software and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to nine years. Purchased intangible assets are reviewed annually to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the rate of amortization is accelerated and the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life. No impairments were identified or changes to estimated useful lives have been recorded.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred Financing Costs incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt and the bank credit facility are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying indebtedness using the straight line method.
SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS
The Company classifies shipping and handling costs for purchases of raw materials and freight out net of freight charged to customers as a component of cost of goods sold. Total delivery costs for the three months ending September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were $29,637 and $11,298, respectively. Total delivery costs for the nine months ending September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were $84,968 and $11,881, respectively.
ADVERTISING
The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred, net of co-operative rebates. Total advertising costs for the three months ending September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were $5,166 and $7,338, respectively. Total advertising costs for the nine months ending September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were $150,689 and $124,745, respectively.
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
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Recurring technology, deferred maintenance service agreements and contract service revenue consists of subscription-based fees, software subscription license fees, software maintenance fees and hosting fees related to the use of our solution to manage our customers’ communications expenses, as well as fees for perpetual software licenses, professional services and products sold.
We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery or performance of service has occurred. Recurring technology and services subscription-based fees, software subscription license fees, software maintenance fees and hosting fees are recognized ratably over the term of the period of service. The subscription-based services we provide include help desk, staging, carrier activations and provisioning.
Sales revenue is recognized upon the shipment of merchandise to customers. The Company recognizes revenues from software sales when software products are shipped.
Software license fees consist of fees paid for a perpetual license agreement for our technology, which are recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 605, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended.
Professional services related to the implementation of our software products, which we refer to as consulting services, are generally performed on a fixed fee basis under separate service arrangements. Consulting services revenue is recognized as the services are performed by measuring progress towards completion based upon either costs or the achievement of certain milestones.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share.” Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were 35,702,188 and 33,362,776, respectively.
The fully diluted number of 39,630,570, includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting a portion of their debt into common stockholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $1,594,000 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $1,962,382 in debt). Despite the fact the conversion is “out of the money”, accounting rules require these amounts to be included in diluted shares outstanding. Additional terms of the debt would require the board of directors of Quest Solution (the “Board”) to consent to any debt holder converting and having a position greater than 4.99% outstanding on the date of conversion.

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.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.
Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for consolidated financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.
The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.
The Company has evaluated the deferred income taxes with regards to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and has determined no limitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards exist at September 30, 2015.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options and employee stock purchases related to an Employee Stock Purchase Plan based on the estimated fair values.
For non-employee stock-based compensation, we have adopted ASC Topic 505 “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires stock-based compensation related to non-employees to be accounted for based on the fair value of the related stock or options or the fair value of the services on the grant date, whichever is more readily determinable in accordance with ASC Topic 718.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has evaluated the recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company balances are net per the right of offset noted in FASB No. 39 and 41. To have 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 satisfied these requirements, the Company has elected to use the right of setoff as the cash value of the policies are 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 of the loan. The Company also intends on settling out the loans in the future with the cash value of the policy.
As of September 30, 2015, the balance of amount of premium financed notes are $1,194,074 and the cash value of the policy as of this date is $1,114,774, along with $59,540 of prepaid insurance expense costs, with a net negative cash value of the policies of $19,760.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
Quest Solution was incorporated in 1973. Prior to 2008, Quest Solution was involved in various unrelated business activities. Between 2008 and 2014, Quest Solution was involved in multiple businesses inclusive of an oil and gas investment company. Due to changes in market conditions, Quest Solution management determined to look for acquisitions which had positive cash flow and would provide immediate stockholder value. Quest Solution proceeded with a change in its business operations through its acquisition of QMI in January 2014 and BCS in November 2014.
Quest Solution is a national mobility systems integrator with a focus on design, delivery, deployment and support of fully integrated mobile solutions. Quest Solution takes a consultative approach by offering end to end solutions that include hardware, software, communications and full lifecycle management services. Quest Solution’s professionals simplify the integration process and deliver the solutions to its customers. Quest Solution counts Motorola, Intermec, Honeywell, Panasonic, AirWatch, Wavelink, SOTI and Zebra among its major suppliers.
In May 2014, our Board voted to receive approval from its stockholders to effect a name change from Amerigo Energy, Inc. to Quest Solution, Inc. We received the approval from a majority of our stockholders and filed an amendment to our Certificate 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 we assigned our new trading symbol “QUES.”
In November 2014, Quest Solution acquired BCS. 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, we have been exploring efficiencies in all facets of the businesses and learning best practices from both executive teams.
As further discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements included in this report, Quest Solution acquired ViascanQData. ViascanQData is a national mobility systems integrator and label manufacturer with a focus on warehouse and distribution industries as well as having a strong media division selling labels and ribbons.
In October 2015, our Board voted to relocate our corporate headquarters from Henderson, Nevada to Eugene, Oregon. The relocation was effective as of November 6, 2015.
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.
