PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

General

 

Quest Solution, Inc., a Delaware corporation, formerly Amerigo Energy, Inc., together with its two wholly owned subsidiaries, referred to herein as “we,” “us,” and “our” (“Quest” or the “Company”), was incorporated in 1973. Since its incorporation, the Company has been involved in various lines of business.

 

Between 2008 and 2013, the Company was in the business of developing oil and gas reserves while increasing the production rate base and cash flow. The plan was to continue acquiring oil and gas leases for drilling and to take advantage of other opportunities and strategic alliances. Due to declines in production with respect to the Company’s oil and gas leases, the Company sought to explore its position in the oil industry. As the operational leases for the Company were not providing sufficient cash flow from operations to allow management to expand its investment in this industry, other potential opportunities were evaluated.

 

In February 2013, the Company acquired the rights to a spirits line of business and compiled a team of beverage, entertainment, retail and consumer product industry professionals. On January 10, 2014, the Company came to agreement with the original owners of the spirits brand, to cancel the previous agreement and the license was returned to them. The cancellation of a Consulting Agreement between the Company and the previous owners resulted in the return and cancellation 1,765,000 of the shares of common stock of the Company that had previously been issued.

 

In January 2014, the Company had determined it was in the best interest of stockholders to focus on operating companies with a track record of positive cash flows and larger existing revenue bases. The Company’s strategy developed into leveraging management’s relationships in the business world for investments for the Company. On January 10, 2014, the Company entered into that certain Share Purchase Agreement with Quest Solution, Inc., an Oregon corporation (“Quest Solution”), in the technology, software, and mobile data collection systems business, in order to acquire Quest Solution for a purchase price of $16,000,000, payable in the form of (i) a promissory note for $4,969,000; and (ii) a promissory note for $11,031,000.

 

In May 2014, our Board of Directors voted to change the name of the Company from Amerigo Energy, Inc. to Quest Solution, Inc., and the Company received the approval from a majority of its stockholders and filed the amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for 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 were assigned our new trading symbol “QUES” on the OTCQB.

 

On November 19, 2014, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Bar Code Specialties, Inc., a California corporation (“BCS”), and David Marin, the sole stockholder of BCS, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of BCS held by the Mr. Marin for an aggregate purchase price of $11,000,000, payable in the form of a five-year secured subordinated convertible promissory note. BCS is a company specializing in systems integration and data collection. Initially the company focused on the distribution vertical, but quickly grew its operational focus to include retail, manufacturing, food, and healthcare.

 

Effective October 1, 2015, the Company acquired the interest in ViascanQdata, Inc. (“ViascanQData”), 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.

 

Strategy

 

Following the acquisition of Quest Solution, BCS and ViascanQdata, the Company’s strategy is to use the identified synergies between the companies to offer a more complete offering of products, services and solutions to customers throughout North America. Further the market in which Quest operates is undergoing consolidation and Quest may potentially acquire profitable, strategic companies in the data collection and mobile systems integration market to become the leading specialty integrator within our served markets.

The acquisition of ViascanQdata enables Quest to provide a full service label and ribbon offering throughout North America. Quest intends to invest in the expansion of the label business in the United States to drive business growth and increased margins.

 

Target Markets

 

Based on its expertise, competence, success and software solution set, Quest focuses on markets that represent high-return mobile line of business applications. Quest believes it can further develop its existing and substantial installed base of customers who are in need of replacement of legacy systems with a go-to-market strategy that leverages our field sales and system resources, telemarketing, customer portals and vertical market and barcode label specialists. Quest also believes that its base of industry leading customers are candidates for the Company’s barcode label and ribbon (media) offerings to the Company’s core markets are manufacturing, distribution, transportation and logistics, retail and healthcare sectors.

 

Competitive overview

 

The mobile system integration market is characterized by a limited number of large competitors and numerous smaller niche players. Quest typically pursues larger accounts and national customers, competing most often with the larger channel partners, including Stratix, Peak Technologies, Lowry, and Barcoding.com. For specific solutions the Company also competes with niche players that are often focused on a single industry. Hardware sales are often pressured by competition from online retailers, but Quest’s consultative, integrated solutions approach is a clear differentiator for most prospective customers.

 

Sales Strategy

 

The Company’s current direct sales teams are supported by systems engineers averaging over twenty (20) years of experience in the mobile industry. The sales organization’s growth in size and reach mirrors the Company’s addition of new products and services. Sales team members are organized by territory, and to a lesser extent, areas of expertise. Quest’s sales team adequately addresses national accounts offering a broad array of unique solutions for line of business application, which allows for upsell and cross sell opportunities within each client. For the barcode label (media) business, Quest utilizes a specialty sales force and well as resellers and distributors of Quest manufactured label products to serve the market.

 

Sales persons are supported internally by sales support personnel who coordinate quotes and logistics and by members of the systems engineering group and software teams.

 

The normal sales cycle is six (6) to nine (9) months, and typically involves the development of a scope of work and preparation of a ROI analysis. Quest prepares templates for this purpose which reduces the sales cycle. The analyses and proposals include information on leasing and other financing options, which helps differentiate the Company from its competitors. The label business sales cycles are shorter with purchases made more frequently on a transactional basis.

These Options vests with respect to 200,000 shares on November 20, 2014, and the balance will vest in a series of twenty (20) equal installments on the last day of each complete calendar quarter over the five (5)-year period commencing on January 1, 2015, subject to their continuous service with the Company. On November 20, 2014, the Company vested a total of 400,000 warrants valued at $183,662. The value of these warrants was estimated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: exercise price of $0.50, term of 5 years; risk free interest rate of 1.64%; dividend yield of 0% and expected volatility of 154%. As of December 31, 2014 a total value of these 400,000 warrants had been recognized as a non-cash expense related to these options. In 2015, 1,200,000 of these stock options were canceled.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition together with its consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

 

Overview - Results of Operations

 

Revenues

 

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized $63,854,132 and $37,309,973 in net revenues, respectively. The increase in revenue is attributable to the acquisitions of BCS that the Company completed during the fourth quarter 2014 and ViascanQdata that closed on October 1, 2015. Revenue for 2015 and 2014 was generated from the sales of hardware, software, labels and ribbons and related services provided by the Company to its customers.

 

Operating expenses

 

Salary and benefits – Salary, commissions and employee benefits for the year ended December 31, 2015 totaled $8,492,549, compared to $5,462,268 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in expenses is attributable to the acquisitions of BCS that the Company completed during 2014 and ViascanQdata in 2015 and the related increases of sales commissions associated with increased net revenues of the Company. The Company had 151 full time staff and 5 part time contractors and consultants as of December 31, 2015 and 68 people on full time and 2 on part time staff as of December 31, 2014.

 

General and Administrative – General and administrative expenses were $2,714,546 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $1,038,308 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase is related to a full year of BCS and one quarter of ViascanQdata general and administrative expenses consisting primarily of $443,698 in occupancy costs and $492,773 of business travel and related expenses.

 

Professional Fees – Professional fees for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $429,518 compared to $656,238 for the period year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease was related to the decreased use of outside consultants and specifically legal fees attributable to the acquisitions of ViascanQdata that the Company completed during 2015 and BCS in 2014. In 2015, the Company incurred $75,532 of professional and legal fees and $24,367 in accounting consulting expenses, including auditing expenses related to the acquisitions of ViascanQdata. In 2014, the Company incurred $90,202 of professional and legal fees and $137,765 in accounting consulting expenses, including auditing expenses related to the acquisitions of Quest Solution and BCS.

 

Stock based compensation expense – Stock based compensation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $ 751,054, compared to $308,453 for the Year ended December 31, 2014. This increase in 2015 relates to the Company issuing additional net shares for services, the increase in vesting of incentive stock options and the increase in stock price during the period. In 2014, $183,662 of the stock based compensation charge relates to options issued to the Company’s officers and directors, while the balance relates to shares issued for consulting contracts which were expensed over the term of the contract.

Other income and expenses

 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had $71,461 and $42,148, respectively, in other income. This increase is attributable to increased operations due to the acquisitions of BCS in 2014 and ViascanQdata that the Company completed October 1, 2015.

 

The Company incurred $1,610,237 in interest expense for year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $871,971 for the year ended December 31, 2014. This is directly attributable to $893,702 and $800,000 of debt discount amortized for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively on the issuance of acquisition promissory notes with Quest Solution in 2014, as well as the increased borrowings on the credit facility and the interest expense on the subordinated debts issued in the 2015 and 2014 acquisitions.

 

The Company had a $0 gain in debt settlement as of December 31, 2015, compared to gain on settlement of debt of $184,351 for the year ended December 31, 2014. These related to settlement of liabilities to outside parties, inclusive of settlement of other debts settled at a discount.

 

In third quarter 2015 the Company recognized a $374,500 gain on sale of technology licenses and trade agreements that were transferred to a former employee and shareholder in the ordinary course of business as part of an omnibus settlement agreement (Note 9). In the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a non-cash loss on license settlement of $93,578 related to the liquor brand and a charge of $82,020 to other expense related to one-time costs incurred for the business related to the acquisitions during the year.

 

Foreign currency transactions

 

The Company uses the temporal method to translate its foreign currency transactions. Under this method, monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the consolidated balance sheet date. Other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Items appearing in the current year’s consolidated statement of loss, except for cost of inventory and amortization, which are translated using the historical rate, are translated at average yearly rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statement of loss.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $1,797,977 related to the deferred tax asset true up for the items allocated from acquisitions that were not deductible for tax purposes, mainly intangible assets. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a net tax benefit of $1,299,417, related to the cumulative net operating losses of the company. Management’s analysis of the future utilization of the cumulative net operating loss carryforwards determined that it is more likely than not that a portion will be utilized prior to expiration. Accordingly, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset is 67% during the periods ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Net income (loss) attributable to common stock

 

The Company realized net loss of $1,715,080 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to a net income of $301,649 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease in income is attributable to the $2,629,833 in amortization expense of acquired intangibles, the non-cash interest expense of $718,202 as well as the acquisition costs for ViascanQdata on October 1, 2015 offset in part by the deferred tax benefit of $1,785,524 .

 

Liquidity and capital resources

In addition, the Company’s stockholder’s equity (deficit) of ($471,367) and $1,193,512 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Non-cash charges in 2015 included a $5,107,707 increase in accounts payable, $718,202 of accretion on debt discount related to the Quest Solution acquisition, stock compensation charges of $429,617 with an offset of $1,785,524 related to the reduction in the valuation allowance of the deferred tax asset that the Company recorded on the books. The Company’s current assets increased to $16,962,346 and current liabilities increased to $37,055,082 at December 31, 2015 from $10,507,759 and $15,601,353 at December 31, 2014.

 

The Company’s cash used in investing activities was $1,117,134 for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2,333,362 from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014. This was attributable to the $690,805 held as restricted at the bank and $74,855 in cash on the acquired company (Viascan) and acquisition costs of $232,026 in the acquisitions of ViascanQdata 2015.

 

The Company’s financing activities used $6,502,942 of cash during the year ended December 31, 2015, and $2,333,362 during the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase in usage of $5,971,259.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company’s management conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “Commission”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of December 31, 2015, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to a reasonable assurance level of achieving such objectives. However, it should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting: The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The internal controls for the Company are provided by executive management’s review and approval of all transactions. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting also includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
     
  (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of its management; and
     
  (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of its internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

 

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2015, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

  

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Quest Solution, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Quest Solution, Inc. and subsidiaries (“The Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Quest Solution, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and significant subordinated debt resulting from acquisitions. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

QUEST SOLUTION, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014

 

NOTE 1 – HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

 

Quest Solution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Quest” 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 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, 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 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 Quest 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 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 the 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.

 

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 December 31, 2015, the Company had a working capital deficit of $20,093,457 and an accumulated deficit of $18,457,236. 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. 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.

 

F-6
 

 

NOTE 3 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements of Quest include the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, BCS and ViascanQdata. 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 ViascanQData, Inc. (“ViascanQdata”) have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations as well. The Companies currently operate as a single business unit. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

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 December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s uninsured cash balance totaled $0 and $0, respectively.

 

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 $83,870 and $66,215 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

F-7
 

 

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 the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $155,798 and $16,222, 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-8
 

 

ADVERTISING

 

The Company generally expenses marketing and advertising costs as incurred. During 2015 and 2014, the Company spent $159,599 and $236,142, respectively, on marketing, trade show and store front expense and advertising, net of co-operative rebates.

 

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.

 

INVENTORY

 

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

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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

 

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
     
  Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.
     
  Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observable inputs may result in a reclassification of assets and liabilities within the three levels of the hierarchy outlined above.

 

F-9
 

 

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 fiscal years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

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 each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any contingent liabilities.

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 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were 36,195,065 and 33,596,375, respectively.

 

F-10
 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the fully diluted number of 45,477,429 includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting their debt into common shareholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $2,269,006 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $1,254,382). 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.

 

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 $2,269,006 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $1,254,382) as well as the 5,200,000 shares of Series B exchange shares issued related to the ViascanQdata acquisition. The 5,200,000 shares of Series B are exchangeable on a 1 for 1 basis into common stock of the Company. 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.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, diluted net loss per share did not include the effect of 7,454,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 5,200,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of Series B Preferred Stock and 3,818,769 shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible debentures, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. 

 

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 Marketing.

 

None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

 

Adjustments resulting from the process of translating foreign functional currency financial statements into U. S. Dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or (loss) in stockholder’s equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current earnings. The functional currency for Quest is the U. S. Dollar.

 

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.

 

F-11
 

 

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 December 31, 2015 and 2014 for all of the net operating loss carryforward except for ViascanQData which has not been analyzed as of December 31, 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.

 

NOTE 4 – CONCENTRATIONS

NOTE 7 – 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 years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $2,506,168 and $9,376, respectively.

Accumulated amortization     (3,759,201 )     (1,251,033 )
Intangibles, net   $ 29,782,821     $ 466,870  

 

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 December 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

NOTE 8 – COST OF GOODS SOLD, RELATED PARTY EXPENSES

 

At the acquisition of Quest Marketing, there was $1,273,292 of related party prepaid expenses for insurance policies, Quest Marketing previously maintained insurance policies with an insurance company which the previous owners own.

The amount of expense was $1,273,292 in prepaid expenses for insurance coverage, paid in 2013, for 2014 coverage. As of January 1, 2014, the Company will not be renewing any of these policies now that they have expired.

The licenses were previously acquired for $450,000 from Rampart Systems. Thomet shall 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).

NOTE 11 – 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 December 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 $1,101,298, along with $39,694 of prepaid insurance expense costs, with a net negative cash value of the policies of $53,083.

 

 

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 20 – INCOME TAX

 

Included in the current tax provision of $12,454 is state income taxes of $18,037 and included in the deferred benefit for income tax is state income taxes of $122,457.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $1,797,977 related to the deferred tax asset true up for items allocated from acquisitions that were not deductible for tax purposes, mainly intangible assets.

 

The tax effect of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows at December 31, 2015:

 

Deferred tax assets  Current   Long-Term 
Reserves and deferred revenue  $160,545   $- 
Stock options and other   -    82,152 
Net operating loss        986,999 
Total gross deferred tax assets   160,545    1,069,151 
           
Deferred tax liabilities   -    - 
Amortization of intangible assets and depreciation   -    (653,156)
           
Net deferred tax assets  $160,545   $433,995 

  

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31: 

 

    December 31,  
    2015     2014

Valuation allowance     (1,845,851 )     (2,638,210 )

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1,845,850 and $2,638,210, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.. As the Company continues its integration process of Quest Marketing and BCS, the Company will continue to monitor the potential utilization of this asset. Should factors and evidence change to aid in this assessment, a potential adjustment to the valuation allowance in future periods may occur.

NOTE 21 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The board of directors has approved the creation of a Series C Preferred Stock which will carry a $1.00 per share value and convertible into common stock at $1.00 per share. The Company intends to work with debt holders for them to convert their debt into the Series C Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred stock will be redeemable at the option of the Board and will carry a 6% dividend. The Company intends to have at least $4,000,000 of debt converted into the Series C Preferred during the second quarter of fiscal 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 Q3 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.

 

On March 24, 2016 , the Company converted by negotiated settlement a $1,598,423 CDN ($1,150,864 USD) past due and outstanding trade payable into a 14 month commercial promissory note due May 31, 2017. Monthly payments are structured to the cash flow cycles of the business ranging from $56,667 CDN to $130,000 CDN per month ($40,800 USD to $93,600 USD per month.) The monthly installments under this note total $1,568,422 CDN and the final $30,000 balance will be forgiven if all monthly payments have been timely made under this commercial note agreement.

 

The company has reviewed all relevant data and other than above, no material subsequent items have occurred.
