BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

Divesture of Canadian Operations

Effective September 30, 2016, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of Quest Solution Canada Inc., and the consideration received was $1.0 million in cash of which $916,592 was received at closing and the balance is required to be paid before June 30, 2017. In addition, the Company has redeemed 1 share of Preferred Class B Stock and 1,839,030 shares of Preferred Class C Stock of the Company, as well as the accrued dividend of $31,742 thereon. Lastly, Quest Exchange Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed 5,200,000 exchangeable shares as part of the divestiture.

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

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

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

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

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, 2016 and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 17, 2017. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2017.

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, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

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 $662,581 at March 31, 2017. This cash is security and collateral for a corporate credit card agreement with a bank and for deposit against a letter of credit issued for executive life insurance policies owned by the Company.

USE OF ESTIMATES

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

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the purchase method of accounting which requires that intangible assets be recognized apart from goodwill if they are contractual in nature or separately identifiable. Acquisitions are measured on the fair value of consideration exchanged and, if the consideration given is not cash, measurement is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets acquired, whichever is more reliably measurable. The excess of cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of identifiable acquired assets and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

The valuation and allocation process relies on significant assumptions made by management. In certain situations, the allocations of excess purchase price are based upon preliminary estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the allocations are subject to revision when the Company receives updated information, including appraisals and other analyses, which are completed within one year of the acquisition. Revisions to the fair values, which may be significant, are recorded when pending information is finalized, within one year from the acquisition date.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

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

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

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

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Amortization expense for the period ending March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $425,425 and $1,701,700, respectively.

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

Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (using an accelerated method for customer relationships and trade names) to their estimated residual values, if any. The Company’s finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade names, and internal use software and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to nine years. Purchased intangible assets are reviewed annually to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the rate of amortization is accelerated and the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life. No impairments were identified or changes to estimated useful lives have been recorded as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

ADVERTISING

The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the period ending March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, the Company spent $45,844 and $9,618 on advertising (marketing, trade show and store front expense), net of co-operative rebates, respectively. The Company received rebates on advertising from co-operative advertising agreements with several vendors and suppliers. These rebates have been recorded as a reduction to the related advertising and marketing expense in the period earned.

INVENTORY

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

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

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

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that prioritize the use of observable inputs over the use of unobservable inputs, when such observable inputs are available. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

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, 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 March 31, 2017 and in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

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

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS as of March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 were 35,141,560 and 36,928,478, 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.

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:

GOODWILL

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested annually at December 31 for impairment. The annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill exists. A qualitative assessment evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. The first step of a quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss may be recognized. The amount of impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value then an impairment loss is recognized equal to that excess. No impairment charges have been recorded as a result of the Company’s annual impairment assessments.

We test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. We are required to write down the value of goodwill only when our testing determines the recorded amount of goodwill exceeds the fair value. Our annual measurement date for testing goodwill impairment is December 31, at which date we test our reporting units, which is currently our ownership in Quest Solution, Inc.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

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

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

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

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 March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $15,073,521 and an accumulated deficit of $33,312,864. 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. Management’s plan to eliminate the going concern situation include, but are not limited to, the raise of additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity, improved cash flow management, aggressive cost reductions, and the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines. One initiative to reduce operating expense and start the path to attaining profitability was the sale of Quest Solution Canada Inc. primarily because it had incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow. In order to mitigate the risk related with this uncertainty, the Company may issue additional shares of common and preferred stock for cash and services during the next 12 months.

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 are FDIC insured institutions. The restricted cash in the amount of $662,581 at March 31, 2017 is in excess of the FDIC limit.

For the quarter and year ending March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, one customer accounted for 29.1% and 23.1% of the Company’s revenues, respectively.

Accounts receivable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are made up of trade receivables due from customers in the ordinary course of business. One customer made up 15.6% and another customer 33.1% of the trade accounts receivable balances at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Accounts payable are made up of payables due to vendors in the ordinary course of business at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. One vendor made up 74.9% and 76.4%, respectively of the outstanding balance, which represented greater than 10% of accounts payable at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

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

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

The consideration received was $1.0 million in cash of which $916,592 was received at closing and the balance is to be received before June 30, 2017. In addition, the Company has redeemed 1 share of Preferred Class B Stock and 1,839,030 shares of Preferred Class C Stock of the Company, as well as the accrued dividend of $31,742 thereon. Lastly, Quest Exchange Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed 5,200,000 exchangeable shares as part of the divestiture.

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

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

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

The following is a reconciliation of the major line items constituting pretax loss of discontinued operations to the after-tax loss of discontinued operations that are presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as indicated below:

The major classes of assets and liabilities of Quest Solution Canada Inc. were classified as held for disposal as at March 31, 2016, as follows:

The net cash flows incurred by Quest Solution Canada Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are presented below:

NOTE 5 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, accounts receivable consisted of the following:

NOTE 6 – INVENTORY

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, inventories consisted of the following:

NOTE 7 – FIXED ASSETS

Fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense for period ending March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $16,975 and $90,626, respectively

NOTE 8 – OTHER LIABILITIES

The agreement states that the Company will be assigning the policy over to the beneficiary and the beneficiary will assume all the obligations under the premium financed note in place. The premium financed note has to be bifurcated with the lender in order to complete the transaction.

The value of the policies is recorded at the new value per the right of offset noted in 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 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 of the loan. The Company also intends to settle out the loans in the future with the cash value of the policy.

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 positive cash flow 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 we 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.

Effective October 1, 2015, the Company acquired their interest in ViascanQdata, Inc., (“Viascan”) a Canadian based operation in the same business line as Quest and their CEO, Gilles Gaudreault, was appointed the CEO of Quest, with our then CEO, Tom Miller, remaining as President and Chairman of the Board. During the 2016 fiscal year, Viascan changed its corporate name to Quest Solution Canada Inc.

Divesture of Canadian Operations

Effective September 30, 2016, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of Quest Solution Canada Inc., and the consideration received was $1.0 million in cash of which $916,592 was received at closing and the balance is required to be paid before June 30, 2017. In addition, the Company has redeemed 1 share of Preferred Class B Stock and 1,839,030 shares of Preferred Class C Stock of the Company, as well as the accrued dividend of $31,742 thereon. Lastly, Quest Exchange Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed 5,200,000 exchangeable shares as part of the divestiture.

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

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

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

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

In 2016, the Company announced strategic actions to streamline its operations by reducing expenses, drive future growth and accelerate value creation for shareholders. These repositioning actions resulted in agreements to sell the Canadian operations. The operations of the Canadian subsidiary have been reported within discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The Company’s sales from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $14.4 million, a slight decrease of $0.4 million, or 2.9% over the same quarter in 2016.

The loss from continuing operations for common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0.3 million, a decrease of $1.2 million compared with the loss of the comparative prior year of $1.5 million. Basic and Diluted loss per share from continuing operations in Q1-2017 were $0.01 versus $0.04 per share in Q1-2016.

Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.03 million ($0.00 per share). There is no comparative amount for Q1-2017 as the divestiture had an effective date of September 30, 2016.

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 March 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $15,073,521 and an accumulated deficit of $33,312,864. 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. Management’s plan to eliminate the going concern situation include, but are not limited to, the raise of additional capital through the issuance of debt and equity, improved cash flow management, aggressive cost reductions, and the creation of additional sales and profits across its product lines. One initiative to reduce operating expense and start the path to attaining profitability was the sale of Quest Solution Canada Inc. primarily because it had incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flow. In order to mitigate the risk related with this uncertainty, the Company may issue additional shares of common and preferred stock for cash and services during the next 12 months.

These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. 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.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain selected condensed statement of operations data for the periods indicated in dollars. In addition, we note that the period-to-period comparison may not be indicative of future performance.

Included in salaries and benefits is the stock compensation expense which was $26,756 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $149,011 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was related to the Company issuing less stock for services during the period.

The decrease of $392,248 (52.4%) is directly related to the decrease in the outstanding balance of the line of credit amount and the improved profitability.

Net loss from continuing operations

The Company realized a net loss from continuing operations of $331,158 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to a net loss of $1,468,922 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $1,137,764. The improvement in net loss is 77.5%.

In addition, the Company had a stockholder’s deficit of $15,169,173 at March 31, 2017 and $14,825,188 as of December 31, 2016.
