NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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. include the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, Inc., an Oregon Corporation, Bar Code Specialties, Inc., (“BCS”) a California Corporation and Quest Canada, Inc., (formerly known as ViascanQdata, Inc.), (“Viascan”) a Canadian based operation in the same business line as Quest.. BCS was acquired on November 21, 2014, and as such the operating results of BCS have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning on November 22, 2014. Effective October 1, 2015, the financial statements of Viascan have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations. The companies currently operate as a single business unit. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
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, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Quest Solution, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Cash
Cash 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015.
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 $553,439 at March 31, 2016. 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 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. Based on management’s evaluation, accounts receivable has a balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $88,215 and $83,870 for the period ending March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 15 years. Upon disposition of property and equipment, related gains and losses are recorded in the results of operations. Depreciation expense for period ending March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $70,162 and $155,798, 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.
F-5 |
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Amortization expense for the period ending March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $425,428 and $2,506,168, respectively.

2016 | $ | 1,701,714 | ||
2017 | 1,701,714 | |||
Total | $ | 3,403,428 |
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.
The Company has made a significant investment in software over the years. This amount is treated as intangible assets which are being amortized over the expected useful life. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for potential impairment.
Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (using an accelerated method for customer relationships and trade names) to their estimated residual values, if any. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade names, and internal use software and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to nine years. Purchased intangible assets are reviewed annually to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the rate of amortization is accelerated and the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life. No impairments were identified or changes to estimated useful lives have been recorded as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The net value of these intangible assets of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $9,567 and $8,250. No additions were made in the first quarter of 2016.
ADVERTISING
The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the period ending March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company spent $21,688 and $77,410 on advertising (marketing, trade show and store front expense), net of co-operative rebates, respectively.
The Company received rebates on advertising from co-operative advertising agreements with several vendors and suppliers. These rebates have been recorded as a reduction to the related advertising and marketing expense in the period earned.
F-6 |
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. Inventory reserves relating primarily to the acquisition of Viascan on October 1, 2015 of $649,511 and $609,443, were recorded as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
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.
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 March 31, 2016 or fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.
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 March 31, 2016 and in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any unrecorded contingent liabilities.
F-7 |
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were 36,947,978 and 35,029,495, respectively.
The fully diluted number of 45,213,835, includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting their debt into common shareholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $2,656,382 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 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.
Foreign currency translation, foreign exchange contracts and comprehensive loss
The functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss).
The Company currently does not enter into financial instruments for either trading or speculative purposes. There were no forward foreign exchange contracts used during the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.
Total comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive earnings losses 1,858, such as foreign currency translation gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has evaluated the recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has acquired a significant working capital deficit and issued a substantial amount of subordinated debt in connection with its recent acquisitions. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a working capital deficit of $21,858,064 and an accumulated deficit and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $20,387,516. The Company is dependent on the completion of working capital financings, vendor trade credit extensions, restructuring of subordinated debt and private placement of its securities in order to continue operations. Additionally, the company is currently in default under it’s financing agreements with FGI, as more fully discussed in Note 10 to these financial statements. These factors taken together raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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 Citizens National Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, which are FDIC insured institutions. In Canada, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) insures eligible deposits at each member bank/institution up to a maximum of $100,000 CDN (principal and interest combined) per depositor. Based on these facts, collectability of bank balances appears to be adequate.
For the quarter and year ending March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, one customer accounted for 20% and another customer accounted for 5% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.
Accounts receivable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are made up of trade receivables due from customers in the ordinary course of business. One customer made up 30.7% and another customer 13.6% of the trade accounts receivable balances at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Accounts payable are made up of payables due to vendors in the ordinary course of business at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. One vendor made up 55.0% and 62.2%, respectively of the outstanding balance, which represented greater than 10% of accounts payable at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION OF VIASCANQDATA, INC.
On November 6, 2015, effective as of October 1, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of ViascanQdata, a Canadian based company in the same industry of technology, software, and mobile data collection systems business which also has a media and label business.
The purchase price for the shares of ViascanQdata was 5,200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Shares of Quest Exchange Ltd. (the “Exchangeable Shares”) (which are convertible on a 1:1 basis into common shares of Quest Solution, Inc., with no other preferential rights) as well as a promissory note of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000). Given the associated assumed debts at the closing, the goodwill acquired is estimated at $11,137,861. In 2016, the Company will do a valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired and recognize any intangibles that were acquired.
ViascanQdata historically has used the Canadian Dollar (CDN) as its functional currency. All numbers have been adjusted based on the exchange rate with the US Dollar as of the date of the transaction.
In accordance with ASC 805-10-25-13, the following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition and the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of net assets acquired:

NOTE 6 – PREPAIDS
The Company currently has $699,679 and $730,591 of expenses that were prepaid as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which we expect to expense during 2016.
The Company plans to repurchase at least 4,500,000 shares of common stock (including the 900,000 shares acquired on December 31, 2015 with the Thomet settlement) through the end of 2016. It is anticipated that the completion of this will be completed before the end of third Quarter 2016. The Company is repurchasing these shares to create the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) and to reduce the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The ESPP will allow all employees to purchase shares of stock directly from the Company and eventually directly from the market. The Company has begun the launch of this program in the United States and will be launching soon with its Canada operations. The Company intends for this process to be non-dilutive to shareholders. The Company has recorded a $980,490 prepaid deposit on the balance sheet relative to the plan to repurchase shares for the ESPP.
NOTE 7 – INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
On August 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with a former owner and current subordinated debt holder. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company was required to pay $7,036,000 as full satisfaction for two (2) promissory notes by September 30, 2015. Included in this agreement (and deducted from the $7.036 million settlement) was the assignment of license rights with an assigned value of $1.15 million. The licenses were previously acquired for $450,000 from Rampart Systems. The assignee has agreed to pay Quest Solution a royalty fee of 3.5% of revenue related to the “gun-barrel,” “rebar inspection,” and “air frame” licenses for a five (5) year period, beginning on the effective date of the Assignment Agreement (as defined in the Settlement Agreement). The parties agreed to exclude the existing mining distribution license from the royalties to be paid to the Company by the assignee. On October 19, 2015, Quest Solution entered into that First Amendment to the Omnibus Settlement Agreement, which modified the payment schedule under the Settlement Agreement.
NOTE 8 – OTHER LIABILITIES
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.
At March 31, 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 $1,087,826, along with $39,694 of prepaid insurance expense costs, with a net negative cash value of the policies of $106,248.
F-10 |
The value of the policies are recorded at the new value per the right of offset noted in FASB No. 39 and 41 and Topics 210-220. 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 met all of these, 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 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.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
PRELIMINARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. 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.
A complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties are contained in our Annual Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 18, 2016.
Introduction
Quest Solution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QUES” or the “Company”), formerly named Amerigo Energy, Inc. 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 positive cash flow and would provide immediate shareholder value. In January 2014, we made our first such acquisition of Quest Marketing Inc. (dba Quest Solution, Inc.).
Quest Solution 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, our 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 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”.
The Quest Solution business plan previously included developing oil and gas reserves while increasing the production rate base and cash flow. Due to declines in production on the oil leases the Company had an interest in, the Company was forced to revisit its position in the oil industry.
The Company’s business strategy developed into leveraging management’s relationships in the business world for investments for the Company. The Company intends on continuing 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. Effective October 1, 2015, the company acquired 100% of the shares of ViascanQData (“Viascan”) located in Canada. The company’s currently operate as a single business unit. Since the combination of the three companies, the Company has been exploring efficiencies in all facets of the businesses and learning best practices from both executive teams
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.
