The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Quest Resource Holding Corporation (“QRHC”), formerly Infinity Resources Holdings Corp., and its subsidiaries, Earth911, Inc. (“Earth911”), Quest Resource Management Group, LLC (“Quest”), Landfill Diversion Innovations, LLC, and Youchange, Inc. (“YouChange”) (collectively, “QRHC”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our company”). | |||||
On July 16, 2013, we acquired the membership interests of Quest held by Quest Resource Group LLC (“QRG”), comprising 50% of Quest (the “Quest Interests”). Prior to July 16, 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, Earth911, held the remaining 50% membership interest of Quest. Upon acquisition of the Quest Interests, we assigned the Quest Interests to Earth911 so that Earth911 now owns Quest, and Quest is now our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. We consolidated Quest in these financial statements for the period from July 16, 2013 to December 31, 2013 and for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |||||
On October 28, 2013, we changed our name to Quest Resource Holding Corporation, increased our shares of common stock authorized for issuance to 200,000,000, and changed our trading symbol to “QRHC.” | |||||
Operations – We are an environmental solutions company that serves as a single-source provider of full service recycling and waste stream management solutions, as well as environmental program services and information provider. We offer innovative, cost-effective, one-stop reuse, recycling, and waste disposal management programs designed to provide regional and national customers with a single point of contact for managing a variety of recyclables and disposables. One customer accounted for 59% and 76% of revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We also own the Earth911.com website, offering original online environmental related content about reuse, recycling, and disposal of waste and recyclables, and we own a comprehensive online database of local recycling and proper disposal options. Our principal offices are located in Frisco, Texas. | |||||
Liquidity – During 2013, we restructured and relocated operations of Earth911 and YouChange to reduce future operating expenses and streamline management. On April 18, 2014 and September 24, 2014, we issued 1,192,500 and 9,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively, to third-parties for an aggregate of $18,577,018. See Note 12 for a discussion of the equity sales. We expect that the acquisition of the Quest Interests will provide increased cash flow from operations. In addition, we plan to increase working capital by increasing sales, maintaining efficient operating expenses, and through other initiatives. | |||||
Pro forma Year Ended December 31, 2013 Operating Results – As discussed above and in Note 8 to these financial statements, we previously accounted for Quest as an equity investment. On July 16, 2013, we acquired the remaining 50% membership interests of Quest, and now hold 100% of the membership interests of Quest. The accompanying financial statements consolidate the results of operations of Quest from the date of acquisition. | |||||

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||||||
Principals of Presentation, Consolidation and Reclassifications | |||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operating activity of QRHC and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as the equity method accounting for its investment in Quest through July 15, 2013. | |||||||||||||
As Quest, Earth911, and YouChange are deemed to be operating as ecology based green service companies, no segment reporting was deemed necessary. | |||||||||||||
Through July 16, 2013, Quest was deemed to be a separate operating company, and as such, there were no intercompany transactions that required elimination at that time. All other intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including transactions between QRHC and Quest subsequent to July 16, 2013. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation that did not have an effect on our net loss or net loss per share. | |||||||||||||
Accounting Estimates | |||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||
We use significant estimates when accounting for the collectability of accounts receivable, depreciable lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, accruals, assumptions used in the valuation and recognition of share-based payments and warrant liability, the realization of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets, the equity method investment in Quest, and the application of accounting for the senior secured convertible notes, all of which are discussed in their respective notes to the consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||||||
We recognize revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met: | |||||||||||||
•persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; | |||||||||||||
•delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; | |||||||||||||
•the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and | |||||||||||||
•collectability is reasonably assured. | |||||||||||||
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement – We document all terms of an arrangement in a service agreement or quote signed or confirmed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue. | |||||||||||||
Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed – We perform all services or deliver all products prior to recognizing revenue. Services are deemed to be performed when the services are complete. | |||||||||||||
The Fee for the Arrangement is Fixed or Determinable – Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the quote, service agreement, or accepted customer purchase order. | |||||||||||||
Collectability Is Reasonably Assured – We assess collectability on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. | |||||||||||||
We provide businesses with management programs to reuse, recycle, and dispose of a wide variety of waste streams and recyclables generated by their business. We utilize third-party subcontractors to execute the collection, transport, and recycling or disposal of used motor oil, oil filters, scrap tires, cooking oil, and expired food products. We evaluate the criteria outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-45, Revenue Recognition—Principal Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of service revenue and related costs or the net amount earned as management fees. Generally, when we are primarily obligated in a transaction, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, have credit risk, or have several but not all of these indicators, we record revenue gross and record amounts collected from customers for sales tax on a net basis. In situations in which we are not primarily obligated and determine amounts earned using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two, we record the net amounts as management fees earned. Currently, we have no contracts accounted for as management fees. | |||||||||||||
Earth911 revenue primarily represents licensing fees that are recognized ratably over the term of the license. We derive some revenue from advertising contracts, which is also recognized ratably over the term that the advertisement appears on our website. | |||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||
We consider all highly liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. | |||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||
We follow the allowance method of recognizing uncollectible accounts receivable, which recognizes bad debt expense based on a review of the individual accounts outstanding and our prior history of uncollectible accounts receivable. Credit is extended based on evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and is generally unsecured. Accounts receivable are typically due within 30 days and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts are considered past due if outstanding longer than contractual payment terms. We record an allowance based on consideration of a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts are past due, our previous loss history, the credit-worthiness of individual customers, economic conditions affecting specific customer industries, and economic conditions in general. We charge-off accounts receivable after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. We credit payments subsequently received on such receivables to bad debt expense in the period we receive the payment. | |||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we have established an allowance of $760,917 and $319,735, respectively, for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. We record delinquent finance charges on outstanding accounts receivables only if they are collected. | |||||||||||||
The changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||

Ending balance | $ | 760,917 | $ | 319,735 | |||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||||
Inventories consist of used consumer electronics and computer devices and are stated at the lower of cost (average cost method which approximates first-in, first-out) or market. We determine cost based on our estimate of the “collection” value of each item, which is what we then pay the supplier. We establish reserves for inventory to reflect situations in which the cost of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, we consider such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventory and current and expected market conditions. We record inventories within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” within our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, finished goods inventories were $30,759 and $3,251, respectively, consisting of a waste compactor at December 31, 2014 and composite heaters at December 31, 2013, with no reserve for inventory obsolescence at either date. | |||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value is 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 that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and | |||||||||||||
Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||
Stock Options - We estimate the fair value of stock options on grant date in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Significant assumptions used in the calculation are as follows: | |||||||||||||
• | Expected term is determined in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using the simplified method for plain vanilla options by the average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award as appropriate statistical data required to properly estimate the expected term was not available; | ||||||||||||
• | Expected volatility is measured using the historical changes in the market price of our common stock and applicable comparison companies; | ||||||||||||
• | Risk-free interest rate is used to approximate the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and | ||||||||||||
• | Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of options granted by us and our analysis of potential future forfeitures. | ||||||||||||
Warrants - We estimate fair value of the warrant liability using Level 3 inputs for the initial valuation of the warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The March 29, 2013 cashless exercise value was calculated using Level 1 and 3 inputs from the exercise of all warrants that were exercisable on that date and the quoted common stock market price. See Note 10. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - The fair value of the reporting unit used in the goodwill and other intangible assets impairment analysis performed during 2013 was determined assuming the suspension of funding of future development activities of the reporting unit and anticipated continuing negative cash flows from operations. These were determined to be level 3 inputs. | |||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||
We record property and equipment at cost. We provide for depreciation on the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining term of the related leases. We charge expenditures for repairs and maintenance to operations as incurred; we capitalize renewals and betterments when they extend the useful life of the asset. We record gains and losses on the disposition of property and equipment in the period incurred. We report assets to be disposed of, if any, at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $292,067, and $209,375, respectively. | |||||||||||||
The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows: | |||||||||||||
Vehicles | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
Computer equipment | 3 to 5 years | ||||||||||||
Office furniture and fixtures | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
We review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If we consider such assets to be impaired, we measure the impairment recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We determine fair value based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. | |||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | |||||||||||||
We analyze assets that are held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We review the amortization method and period at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recorded to operations when the change arises. We recognize impairment when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amounts of such assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets. We carry assets held for sale, if any, at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. We did not recognize any impairment charges for long-lived assets during 2014 and 2013. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||||||
The excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the (ii) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We do not amortize goodwill; however, annually, or whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, we evaluate qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Our test of goodwill impairment includes assessing qualitative factors and the use of judgment in evaluating economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, and entity-specific events, as well as overall financial performance. After evaluating these qualitative factors, an impairment loss was recorded in 2013 because the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s assets exceeded the fair value determined. Any future increases in the fair value amount will not result in an adjustment to the impairment loss recorded in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 16 regarding the impairment of goodwill recognized during 2013. We performed our Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis in the third quarter 2014 with no impairment recorded. | |||||||||||||
Net Loss Per Share | |||||||||||||
We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have other potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not shown in a diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect in both 2014 and 2013 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities include options, restricted stock units, warrants, and convertible promissory notes (see Notes 7 and 12), and total 18,130,132 shares and 15,164,789 shares at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Concentrations | |||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. We deposit our cash with commercial banks. Cash deposits at commercial banks are at risk to the extent that the balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured level per institution. The bank cash balances on deposit have exceeded federally insured limits, including $4,635,398 at December 31, 2014; however, we have never experienced any losses related to these balances. | |||||||||||||
We sell our products and services primarily to consumers, advertisers, and businesses without requiring collateral; however, we routinely assess the financial condition of our customers and maintain allowances for anticipated losses. The following table discloses the number of customers that accounted for more than 10% of our annual revenue and related receivable balances: | |||||||||||||

We believe we have no significant credit risk in excess of recorded reserves. | |||||||||||||
Investment in Quest | |||||||||||||
We account for investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which we exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not we exercise significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors, including, among others, representation on the investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company. Prior to July 17, 2013, we accounted for the investment in Quest under the equity method of accounting, in which the investee company’s accounts are not consolidated within our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations. Our share of earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity in Quest Resource Management Group, LLC income” in our consolidated statement of operations. Our carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the caption “Investment in Quest Resources Management Group, LLC” in our consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to our acquisition of the Quest Interests, the operational activity and the balance sheet are consolidated with QRHC. | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||||||
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. We establish valuation allowances to reduce a deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. We assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets based on current earnings performance and on projections of future taxable income in the relevant tax jurisdictions. These projections do not include taxable income from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and do not reflect a general growth assumption but do consider known or pending events, such as the passage of legislation. We review our estimates of future taxable income annually. All tax positions are first analyzed to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. After the initial analysis, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our income tax returns are subject to adjustment under audit for approximately the last three years. | |||||||||||||
If we are required to pay interest on the underpayment of income taxes, we recognize interest expense in the first period the interest becomes due according to the provisions of the relevant tax law. | |||||||||||||
If we are subject to payment of penalties, we recognize an expense for the amount of the statutory penalty in the period when the position is taken on the income tax return. If we did not recognize the penalty in the period when the position was initially taken, we recognize the expense in the period when we change our judgment about meeting minimum statutory thresholds related to the initial position taken. | |||||||||||||
Advertising | |||||||||||||
We charge our advertising costs to expense when incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, advertising expense totaled $72,241 and $29,440, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||
We expense all share-based grants to employees, including grants of employee stock options, based on their estimated fair values at grant date, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation. We record compensation expense for stock options over the vesting period using the estimated fair value on the date of grant, as calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. We classify all share-based awards to employees as equity instruments and recognize the vesting of the awards ratably over their respective terms. See Note 12 for a description of our share-based compensation plan and information related to awards granted under the plan. |

On December 15, 2010, Quest entered into a Revolving Credit Note and Loan Agreement with Regions Bank (“Regions”), a national banking association. This agreement, as amended, provides Quest with a loan facility up to $10,000,000 for working capital with advances generally limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable from Quest’s largest customer and 85% of all other eligible accounts receivable. The interest on the outstanding principal amount accrues daily and is payable monthly based on a fluctuating interest rate per annum, which is the base rate plus 1.50% (2.66% as of December 31, 2014). The base rate for any day is the greater of (a) the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%, (b) Region’s published effective prime rate, or (c) the Eurodollar rate for such day based on an interest period of one month. To secure the amounts due under the agreement, Quest granted Regions a security interest in all of its assets. Quest had $5,250,000 outstanding and $4,750,000 available to be borrowed as of December 31, 2014. The amount of interest expense related to the Regions line of credit for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $163,607 and $103,031, respectively. | |
During the year ended December 31, 2014, Quest entered into a Sixth Amendment to the Loan Agreement with Regions. The loan agreement was amended to, among other things, (i) add a $5.0 million accordion feature, (ii) increase the borrowing base, (iii) reduce the applicable margin for eurodollar rate loans by 1.0% per annum, (iv) add an unused fee of 0.25% per annum, (v) extend the maturity date to May 31, 2015, (vi) release the guaranty of our Chief Executive Officer previously executed in favor of Regions, (vii) add our company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Earth911, as guarantors, (viii) allow for permitted acquisitions, and (ix) delete two of the financial covenants and modify the other financial covenants in certain respects. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with the financial covenants. | |
In connection with the Sixth Amendment, on May 9, 2014, we and Earth911entered into a Guaranty (the “Guaranty”) for the benefit of Regions to guarantee the obligations of Quest under the loan agreement and other loan documents. In addition, on May 9, 2014, Earth911 entered into a Pledge Agreement with Regions, pursuant to which Earth911 pledged to Regions 50% of the membership interests in Quest held by Earth911 to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the obligations of Quest and the Guarantors under the loan agreement and other loan documents. |

Convertible Secured Promissory Notes – Quest Acquisition - In connection with our acquisition of Quest on July 16, 2013, we issued convertible secured promissory notes with a total principal amount of $22,000,000 to the owners of QRG and related parties: the Chief Executive Officer of Quest and the former President of Quest. After the close of the transaction, the Chief Executive Officer of Quest became the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors of our company. The convertible secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Sellers Notes”) were each secured by a first-priority security interest in a 25% membership interest held by Earth911 in Quest (comprising a total of 0.5% of the membership interests of Quest), as set forth in security and membership interest pledge agreements, by and between Earth911 and the sellers. The Sellers Notes accrued interest at a rate of 7% per annum and were payable on a monthly basis on the 5th day of the month beginning on September 5, 2013. The principal amount was due and payable in one installment on July 16, 2016. | |||||||||
The Sellers Notes were convertible at any time, in the sole discretion of the holders, into shares of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share. In addition, the Sellers Notes were convertible, in our sole discretion, into shares of our common stock at a price of $2.00 per share at any time after (i) the two year anniversary of the Notes, (ii) the principal amount of each Sellers Note has been paid down by $5,000,000 as a result of the first capital raise, (iii) our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE MKT, and (iv) our common stock has traded at four times the $2.00 conversion price, as adjusted for any stock splits, reverse stock splits, or both. Based on our share price at the time we entered into the Sellers Notes agreement, we recognized a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) of $5,500,000 and discounted the Sellers Notes. | |||||||||
On September 24, 2014, we repaid $11,000,000 of the Sellers Notes using proceeds from our public offering. Additionally, the holders converted the remaining $11,000,000 of Sellers Notes, plus accrued interest through September 24, 2014 of $101,260, into 5,550,630 shares of our common stock. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, for the portion of the Sellers Notes retired through conversion to our common stock, the remaining unamortized BCF of $1,658,531 at the time of conversion is reflected as “Interest expense” in our consolidated statement of operations. Additionally, for the portion of the Sellers Notes repaid in cash, we did not allocate the consideration paid to the BCF, as we determined the intrinsic value was zero as of the extinguishment date, and we recorded the $1,658,531 difference between the carrying amount of the remaining Sellers Notes and the consideration paid as “Loss on extinguishment of debt” in our consolidated statement of operations. Therefore, as of December 31, 2014, the unamortized discount on the Sellers Notes was nil. The amount of interest expense related to the Sellers Notes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,126,521 and $708,822, respectively. The amount of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount on the Sellers Notes for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,998,403 and $843,066, respectively. | |||||||||
Stockbridge Senior Secured Convertible Note - Earth911 had entered into a securities purchase agreement with Stockbridge Enterprises, L.P., a related party (“Stockbridge”), pursuant to which Earth911 issued a senior secured convertible note (the “Convertible Note”) and four warrants to Stockbridge as of March 22, 2012 and as amended on October 10, 2012 and March 29, 2013. Under the amendments the terms of the note and the warrants were amended and additional warrants were issued to Stockbridge (the “Allonge” and the “Second Allonge”). The Convertible Note and warrants were also adjusted for the Earth911 Merger in October 2012. On July 16, 2013, Stockbridge elected to convert $3,000,000 in principal and $34,500 of accrued interest into 8,382,597 shares of our common stock. | |||||||||
The amended Convertible Note provided for up to $3,000,000 principal with a maturity date of October 1, 2015, which was extendable under certain circumstances. The annual amended interest rate was 9.0% and was due monthly in arrears. Reflecting the adjustment for the Earth911 Merger, the Convertible Note was convertible into shares of our common stock at $0.362 per share prior to the maturity date, subject to a downward formula-based adjustment for future issuances of common stock or stock equivalents under certain conditions whereby the issue price was lower than the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). As a result of the Earth911 Merger, a United States exchange listed our common stock, which was a Triggering Event under the Convertible Note; therefore the conversion price was the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price or the average closing bid price during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. | |||||||||
In connection with the Convertible Note, we issued five-year warrants that were subsequently adjusted for the Earth911 Merger and consisted of the following: | |||||||||
(i) | a warrant issued March 2012 to acquire up to 1,381,115 shares of our common stock, exercisable immediately upon execution of the Convertible Note (“Warrant 1-1”); | ||||||||
(ii) | three contingent warrants issued March 2012, exercisable only in the event that all outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Convertible Note was not paid in full at such dates, as follows: a warrant to acquire up to 345,278 shares of our common stock, exercisable at the conclusion of 42 months after the issuance date of the warrant (“Warrant 1-2”); a warrant to acquire up to 345,278 shares of our common stock, exercisable at the conclusion of 45 months after the issuance date of the warrant (“Warrant 1-3”); and a warrant to acquire up to 690,557 shares of our common stock, exercisable at the conclusion of 48 months after the issuance date of the warrant (“Warrant 1-4”); | ||||||||
(iii) | a warrant issued October 2012 upon execution of the Allonge to acquire up to 5,524,461 shares of our common stock, exercisable immediately (“Warrant 1-5”); and | ||||||||
(iv) | a warrant issued March 2013 upon execution of the Second Allonge to acquire up to 500,000 shares of our common stock, exercisable immediately (“Warrant 1-6”). | ||||||||
Warrant 1-1, Warrant 1-5, and Warrant 1-6 were exercisable at the lower of $0.37 per share or the average closing bid price during the ten trading days immediately preceding the exercise date. | |||||||||
Warrant 1-1, Warrant 1-5, and Warrant 1-6 were exercised in March 2013 as part of the Second Allonge using a cashless exercise formula. | |||||||||
If the contingent Warrant 1-2, Warrant 1-3, and Warrant 1-4 had become exercisable, the exercise price would have been the lower of $0.37 per share or the average closing bid price during the ten trading days immediately preceding the exercise date. The exercise price for all of the warrants was also subject to a downward formula-based adjustment for future issuances of common stock or stock equivalents under certain conditions whereby the issue price is lower than the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale. These warrants were cancelled when the Convertible Note was converted on July 16, 2013. | |||||||||
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, Warrant 1-1 and Warrant 1-5 were initially valued and accounted for as a warrant liability of $18,742,526 and allocated as a discount to the Convertible Note of $1,500,000 with the remainder of $17,242,526 expensed as a financing cost. See Note 10 regarding the valuations of the warrant liability. | |||||||||
The Convertible Note increased by another $1,000,000 draw during the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, which was accounted for as an additional discount and an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital. The Convertible Note discount total of $3,000,000, which is equal to the amount of the funds drawn on the Convertible Note, was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the Convertible Note beginning March 22, 2012. | |||||||||
As of December 31, 2013, the unamortized portion of the debt discount was nil. The amount of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount on the Convertible Note for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $2,313,897. | |||||||||
On March 29, 2013, Stockbridge elected to exercise Warrant 1-1, Warrant 1-5, and Warrant 1-6 with exercisable rights in total to purchase 7,405,576 shares of our common stock at $0.37 per share under the cashless exercise option of the Second Allonge. We determined the net number of shares to issue using the “Cashless Exercise” formula, as amended and restated, as follows: | |||||||||
Net Number of Shares to be Issue =p> | (A x B) – (A x C) | ||||||||
D | |||||||||
For purposes of the foregoing formula as of March 29, 2013: | |||||||||
A =,405,576, the total number of warrant shares with respect to which these warrants were then being exercised. | |||||||||
B =3.30, the closing price of our common stock plus 0.1% on the date of exercise of the warrant. | |||||||||
C =0.37, the warrant exercise price then in effect for the applicable warrant shares at the time of such exercise. | |||||||||
D =3.00, the closing price of our common stock on the date of exercise of the warrant. | |||||||||
Based on the cashless exercise formula, on March 29, 2013 Warrant 1-1, Warrant 1-5, and Warrant 1-6 yielded a net number of shares to issue of 7,232,779 with a value of $21,698,338 based on the $3.00 closing price of the stock on the date of issue. | |||||||||

Prior to July 16, 2013, we held a 50% ownership interest in Quest, which Earth911 acquired on August 21, 2008. On July 16, 2013, we acquired all of the Quest Interests, held by QRG, comprising 50% of the membership interests of Quest. The purchase price for the Quest Interests consisted of 22,000,000 shares of our common stock issued at a fair market value of $2.50 per share based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the transaction and the Sellers Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000,000. We paid the total purchase price of $77,000,000 to the owners of QRG and related parties: the Chief Executive Officer of Quest and the former President of Quest. After the close of the transaction, the Chief Executive Officer of Quest became the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board of Directors of our company. Subsequent to our purchase of the Quest Interests on July 16, 2013, we consolidated 100% of the operating activity of Quest into the operations of our company and reflected the adjustments for the ownership purchase and valuation of goodwill. | |||||||||
Concurrently with our acquisition of the Quest Interests, we assigned the Quest Interests to Earth911, our wholly owned subsidiary, which now holds 100% of Quest. We accounted for the acquisition of Quest under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations; thereby, the acquisition accounting for the acquired Quest Interests and the step up in basis of the previously owned 50% interest resulted in the following total purchase price for Quest as follows: | |||||||||
Consideration paid for Quest Interests | $ | 77,000,000 | |||||||
Non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date | 27,050,000 | ||||||||
fair value | |||||||||
Total consideration | $ | 104,050,000 | |||||||
We primarily employed two methodologies that yielded substantially the same results to determine the fair value of our preexisting equity interest in Quest, which we re-measured as a non-controlling interest independent of the acquired controlling interest as of the effective date of the acquisition: (i) the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties; and (ii) the present value of expected future cash flows of Quest; which are level 2 and level 3 inputs, respectively. | |||||||||
The purchase price allocation as of July 16, 2013 for the assets, liabilities, intangibles and goodwill totaling $104,050,000 was as follows: | |||||||||
Net assets and liabilities | $ | 1,214,804 | |||||||
Customer relationships | 12,720,000 | ||||||||
Trademarks | 6,230,000 | ||||||||
Goodwill | 83,885,196 | ||||||||
$ | 104,050,000 | ||||||||
In connection with the fair value adjustment to the investment in Quest due to the acquisition, we recorded in 2013 a gain on investment in Quest of $23,449,372, equal to the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the asset on the date of the acquisition. In addition, we recognized $26,850,039 of goodwill impairment based on our goodwill impairment testing. We determined that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge. The impact of the goodwill impairment and the gain on investment was a net expense of $3,400,667, which was included in the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |||||||||

Income Taxes | 9. Income Taxes | ||||||||
We compute income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method, we determine deferred income tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and measure them using currently enacted tax rates and laws. We provide a valuation allowance for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. In our opinion, realization of our net operating loss carryforward is not reasonably assured as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and we have recorded a valuation allowance of $9,108,000 and $6,582,000, respectively, against deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||

As of December 31, 2014, we had federal income tax net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $14,800,000, which expire at various dates beginning in 2031. We are subject to limitations existing under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (Change of Control) relating to the availability of the operating loss. Such limitation of the net operating losses may have occurred, which we have not fully analyzed at this time as we have fully reserved the deferred tax asset. | |||||||||
As of December 31, 2014, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during 2015. It is our policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. | |||||||||
Tax positions are positions taken in a previously filed tax return or positions expected to be taken in a future tax return that are reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities reported in the financial statements. Tax positions include the following: | |||||||||
• | an allocation or shift of income between taxing jurisdictions; | ||||||||
• | the characterization of income or a decision to exclude reportable taxable income in a tax return; or | ||||||||
• | a decision to classify a transaction, entity or other position in a tax return as tax exempt. | ||||||||
We are potentially subject to tax audits for federal and state tax returns for tax years ended 2012 to 2014. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ||||
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, notes payable, capital lease obligations, and warrant liability. We do not believe that we are exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the warrant liability, the fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values using Level 3 inputs, based on their short maturities or, for long-term debt and long-term portions of capital lease obligations, based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. | |||||
On May 7, 2014, we issued aggregate of 200,000 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered during the year ended December 31, 2014. 100,000 warrants vested immediately, while the remaining 100,000 warrants vest on May 7, 2015. We measured the warrants at fair value by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model, which utilizes Level 3 inputs. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation for the warrants that immediately vested on May 7, 2014 were as follows: volatility of 97.6%; risk free interest rate of 0.9%; expected term of 3 years; and expected dividend yield of 0%. The grant date fair value of the initial warrant valuation described above was $1.61 per warrant. As of December 31, 2014, the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation for the 100,000 warrant liability for the warrants that vest on May 7, 2015 were as follows: volatility of 89.5%; risk free interest rate of 0.8%; expected term of 2.4 years; and expected dividend yield of 0%. The fair value of the warrant liability as of December 31, 2014 was $0.52 per warrant. We based the risk free interest rate on U.S. Treasury rates with maturity dates approximating the expected term of the warrants. We determined the historical volatility using the historical changes in the market price of our common stock and applicable comparison companies. | |||||
On May 28, 2014, we issued aggregate 1,650,000 contingent warrants to a third party to purchase shares of our common stock in exchange for services rendered during the year ended December 31, 2014. 450,000 of these warrants vested during 2014, while the remaining 1,200,000 contingent warrants have not yet vested, and we deemed the probability of vesting as remote. We measured the 450,000 vested warrants during the year ended December 31, 2014 at fair value by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, which utilizes Level 3 inputs. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation for the warrants are as follows: volatility of 93.5%; risk free interest rate of 0.5%; expected term of 2.0 years; and expected dividend yield of 0%. The fair value of the warrant described above as of December 31, 2014 was $0.39 per warrant. We based the risk free interest rate on U.S. Treasury rates with maturity dates approximating the expected term of the warrants. We determined the historical volatility using the historical changes in the market price of our common stock and applicable comparison companies. | |||||
We measured the March 29, 2013 fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the Stockbridge Senior Secured Convertible notes by utilizing the quoted market price for our common stock and the valuation for the cashless exercise of Warrant 1-1, Warrant 1-5, and Warrant 1-6 in March 2013, which are Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. These inputs of (i) an observable warrant exercise transaction and (ii) publicly traded market price provided a reasonable basis for valuation for the warrants as of March 29, 2013. Based on that valuation using the $3.00 closing market price and exercisable rights in total to purchase 6,905,576 shares of our common stock at $0.37 per share, Warrant 1-1 and Warrant 1-5 had a net number value of $20,233,338. Using the same valuation method, Warrant 1-6 had a net number value of $1,465,000 upon issuance on March 29, 2013. All three warrants were exercised on March 29, 2013. See Note 7 for further discussion regarding the cashless exercise of these warrants. | |||||

Additionally, we sublease corporate office space in Frisco, Texas under a 16 month, non-cancelable operating sublease. Finally, we lease corporate office space in Scottsdale, Arizona under a 66 month, non-cancelable operating lease, which we fully reserved in 2013 during the restructuring and relocation of our Earth911 and YouChange operations. The lease expires in March 2017 and provides for a renewal option of 60 months, and was subleased during 2014.

Our Frisco operating lease agreement and sublease agreement contain provisions that abate rent payments for a period of five months and two months, respectively. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is charged to accrued liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. | |||||
Indemnifications | |||||
During the normal course of business, we make certain indemnities and commitments under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These may include (i) intellectual property indemnities to customers in connection with the use, sales, and/or license of products and services; (ii) indemnities to customers in connection with losses incurred while performing services on their premises; (iii) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on negligence or willful misconduct; and (iv) indemnities involving the representations and warranties in certain contracts. In addition, under our bylaws we are committed to our directors and officers for providing for payments upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. The majority of these indemnities and commitments do not provide for any limitation on the maximum potential for future payments that we could be obligated to make. We have not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. |

Incentive Compensation Plan - In October 2012, we adopted our 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2012 Plan”) as the sole plan for providing equity-based incentive compensation to our employees, non-employee directors, and other service providers. The plan allows for the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance awards, and other incentive awards to our employees, non-employee directors, and other service providers who are in a position to make a significant contribution to our success and our affiliates. The purposes of the plan are to attract and retain individuals, further align employee and stockholder interests, and closely link compensation with our performance. The plan is administered by our board of directors. Our policy is to fulfill any exercise of options from common stock that is authorized and unissued. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for grant under the plan is 7,500,000. Stock compensation expense prior to October 2012 related to options granted prior to the Earth911 Merger that was superseded by the 2012 Plan at the time of the Earth911 Merger. The number of shares available for award under the plan is subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes in accordance with the provisions of the plan. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Restricted Stock Units – During the year ended December 31, 2014, we granted restricted stock units representing 132,600 hypothetical shares of common stock under the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on the revenue generated by new business activity of one of our subsidiaries. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be exercisable immediately and will be paid in the form of common stock. While we do not anticipate issuing dividends, the restricted stock unit awards will not participate in any dividends prior to vesting. | |||||||||||||||||||||
We determined the fair value of the restricted stock unit awards granted based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant, which was $3.75 per share. We assumed a forfeiture rate of 0%. We recorded $211,875 of stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 related to these warrants as the third party satisfied the first vesting condition. Due to the uncertainty of attaining any of the remaining performance conditions, we recorded no additional stock-based compensation expense for the remaining performance conditions for the year ended December 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Employee Stock Purchase Plan – On September 17, 2014, our stockholders approved the Quest Resource Holding Corporation 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). We recorded expense of $4,863 related to the ESPP during the year ended December 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Stock-based compensation expense for stock based incentive awards was $1,085,217 and $2,194,390 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the balance of unearned stock-based compensation to be expensed in future periods related to unvested share-based awards, as adjusted for expected forfeitures, was approximately $2,551,531. The weighted-average period over which the unearned stock-based compensation is expected to be recognized is approximately 3 years. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation - We account for all stock-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options and employee stock purchases, based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period, net of forfeitures. | |||||||||||||||||||||
We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model as our method of valuation. The fair value is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. The fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant as determined by the Black-Scholes-Merton model is affected by our stock price as well as other assumptions. These assumptions include the expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, and an estimated forfeiture rate. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Stockbridge Convertible Note - In March 2012, we issued the Convertible Note to Stockbridge, a related party. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, we issued four warrants (Warrants1-1 through 1-4) in March 2012. On July 16, 2013, Stockbridge elected to convert $3,000,000 in principal and $34,500 of accrued interest of the Convertible Note into 8,382,597 shares of our common stock. With the conversion, the contingent Warrants 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4 were cancelled. | |
Allonge to the Convertible Note - In October 2012, we amended the Convertible Note. We increased the original principal amount to $3,000,000 from the original $1,000,000 amount. We changed the maturity of the note to October 1, 2014. We changed the conversion rate of the Convertible Note to $0.50 per common share prior to the maturity date and $0.25 per common share after the maturity, subject to certain adjustments. In connection with the amendment, we issued Warrant 1-5 in October 2012 and issued 100,000 shares of our common stock. | |
Second Allonge to the Convertible Note - On March 29, 2013, the terms of the note and the warrants were amended and additional warrants were issued to Stockbridge. Under the amendment on March 29, 2013, Earth911 and Stockbridge entered into the Second Allonge, pursuant to which the parties agreed to (i) change all references to common stock, options, warrants, warrant shares, or convertible securities of Earth911 in the original note documents and the Allonge documents to our common stock, options, warrants, warrant shares, or convertible securities, respectively, and (ii) expand all references to a “Triggering Event” in the original note documents and the Allonge documents to include any exchanges on which our common stock may be listed or quoted for trading. The parties also (i) amended how the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise would be defined in a formula used to calculate the net number of shares that Stockbridge would receive upon a cashless exercise, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Convertible Note to October 1, 2015, (iii) revised the terms of Warrant 1-5 to apply the conversion rate from the shares of Earth911 to the number of shares of our common stock underlying Warrant 1-5 and the exercise price at which such shares would be issued upon the exercise date, and (iv) amended the exercisable dates of the contingent Warrant 1-2, the contingent Warrant 1-3, and the contingent Warrant 1-4 to be exercisable 42 months, 45 months, and 48 months, respectively, following the issuance date of the contingent warrants. Finally, Stockbridge retroactively agreed to waive its right to effect a partial conversion of the Convertible Note, with such waiver to be effective for a period of 12 months from October 17, 2012. | |
To effect the changes in the Second Allonge, we issued to Stockbridge an additional warrant to purchase 500,000 shares of our common stock (“Warrant 1-6”). Warrant 1-6 was exercisable at or after the date of the Second Allonge, and was in the same form as Warrant 1-5, as amended by the Second Allonge. Warrant 1-6 would expire five years from the date of issuance. | |
The Convertible Note was converted and the all of the warrants were either exercised or cancelled in 2013. See Note 7 for a discussion of the Convertible Note and of the exercise of the related exercisable warrants in 2013. | |
Acquisition of the Quest Interests - On July 16, 2013, we acquired all of the Quest Interests held by QRG, comprising 50% of the membership interests of Quest. The purchase price for the Quest Interests consisted of 22,000,000 shares of our common stock issued at a fair market value of $2.50 per share based on the closing price of the stock on the date of the transaction and the Sellers Notes as described in Note 7 in the aggregate principal amount of $22,000,000. The total purchase price of $77,000,000 was paid to the owners of QRG who at the time of the transaction were related parties: the Chief Executive Officer of Quest and the former President of Quest. After the close of the transaction, the Chief Executive Officer of Quest became the President, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors of our company. As described in Note 7, on September 24, 2014, we paid $11,000,000 to the holders of the Sellers Notes and such holders converted the remaining $11,000,000 of principal, plus accrued interest through September 24, 2014 of $101,260, into 5,550,630 shares of our common stock. Unpaid interest related to the Sellers Notes at December 31, 2014 and 2013 is nil and $132,878 respectively. |

Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill Impairment | 16. Goodwill Impairment |
Goodwill is accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 350 and is assigned to reporting units based on where the related acquired net assets are assigned and based on management’s expectations about which reporting units will benefit from the synergies of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested for impairment when events and circumstances warrant and at least annually. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or reporting unit exceeds its fair value. We primarily employ two methodologies for determining the fair value of a long-lived asset: (i) the amount at which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties; or (ii) the present value of expected future cash flows grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable independent cash flows. | |
For the year ending December 31, 2013, we recognized $26,850,039 of goodwill impairment based on our goodwill impairment testing. We determined that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment charge. In connection with the acquisition that gave rise to the goodwill, we recorded in 2013 a $23,449,372 gain on our equity method based investment in Quest. The impact of the goodwill impairment and the gain on investment is a net expense of $3,400,667 included in the operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2013. As required by FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, we performed our goodwill impairment analysis for 2014 with no impairment recorded. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
Principals of Presentation, Consolidation, and Reclassifications | Principals of Presentation, Consolidation and Reclassifications | ||||||||||||
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the operating activity of QRHC and its subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as well as the equity method accounting for its investment in Quest through July 15, 2013. | |||||||||||||
As Quest, Earth911, and YouChange are deemed to be operating as ecology based green service companies, no segment reporting was deemed necessary. | |||||||||||||
Through July 16, 2013, Quest was deemed to be a separate operating company, and as such, there were no intercompany transactions that required elimination at that time. All other intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation, including transactions between QRHC and Quest subsequent to July 16, 2013. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation that did not have an effect on our net loss or net loss per share. | |||||||||||||
Accounting Estimates | Accounting Estimates | ||||||||||||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||
We use significant estimates when accounting for the collectability of accounts receivable, depreciable lives of fixed assets and intangible assets, accruals, assumptions used in the valuation and recognition of share-based payments and warrant liability, the realization of goodwill and intangible assets, deferred tax assets, the equity method investment in Quest, and the application of accounting for the senior secured convertible notes, all of which are discussed in their respective notes to the consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition | ||||||||||||
We recognize revenue only when all of the following criteria have been met: | |||||||||||||
•persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; | |||||||||||||
•delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; | |||||||||||||
•the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable; and | |||||||||||||
•collectability is reasonably assured. | |||||||||||||
Persuasive Evidence of an Arrangement – We document all terms of an arrangement in a service agreement or quote signed or confirmed by the customer prior to recognizing revenue. | |||||||||||||
Delivery Has Occurred or Services Have Been Performed – We perform all services or deliver all products prior to recognizing revenue. Services are deemed to be performed when the services are complete. | |||||||||||||
The Fee for the Arrangement is Fixed or Determinable – Prior to recognizing revenue, a customer’s fee is either fixed or determinable under the terms of the quote, service agreement, or accepted customer purchase order. | |||||||||||||
Collectability Is Reasonably Assured – We assess collectability on a customer by customer basis based on criteria outlined by management. | |||||||||||||
We provide businesses with management programs to reuse, recycle, and dispose of a wide variety of waste streams and recyclables generated by their business. We utilize third-party subcontractors to execute the collection, transport, and recycling or disposal of used motor oil, oil filters, scrap tires, cooking oil, and expired food products. We evaluate the criteria outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 605-45, Revenue Recognition—Principal Agent Considerations, in determining whether it is appropriate to record the gross amount of service revenue and related costs or the net amount earned as management fees. Generally, when we are primarily obligated in a transaction, have latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, have credit risk, or have several but not all of these indicators, we record revenue gross and record amounts collected from customers for sales tax on a net basis. In situations in which we are not primarily obligated and determine amounts earned using a fixed percentage, a fixed-payment schedule, or a combination of the two, we record the net amounts as management fees earned. Currently, we have no contracts accounted for as management fees. | |||||||||||||
Earth911 revenue primarily represents licensing fees that are recognized ratably over the term of the license. We derive some revenue from advertising contracts, which is also recognized ratably over the term that the advertisement appears on our website. | |||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||||||||||||
We consider all highly liquid instruments with a remaining maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. | |||||||||||||
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable | ||||||||||||
We follow the allowance method of recognizing uncollectible accounts receivable, which recognizes bad debt expense based on a review of the individual accounts outstanding and our prior history of uncollectible accounts receivable. Credit is extended based on evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and is generally unsecured. Accounts receivable are typically due within 30 days and are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts are considered past due if outstanding longer than contractual payment terms. We record an allowance based on consideration of a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts are past due, our previous loss history, the credit-worthiness of individual customers, economic conditions affecting specific customer industries, and economic conditions in general. We charge-off accounts receivable after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. We credit payments subsequently received on such receivables to bad debt expense in the period we receive the payment. | |||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we have established an allowance of $760,917 and $319,735, respectively, for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. We record delinquent finance charges on outstanding accounts receivables only if they are collected. | |||||||||||||
The changes in our allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||
Years ended December 31, | |||||||||||||

Inventories | Inventories | ||||||||||||
Inventories consist of used consumer electronics and computer devices and are stated at the lower of cost (average cost method which approximates first-in, first-out) or market. We determine cost based on our estimate of the “collection” value of each item, which is what we then pay the supplier. We establish reserves for inventory to reflect situations in which the cost of the inventory is not expected to be recovered. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, we consider such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell such inventory and current and expected market conditions. We record inventories within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” within our consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, finished goods inventories were $30,759 and $3,251, respectively, consisting of a waste compactor at December 31, 2014 and composite heaters at December 31, 2013, with no reserve for inventory obsolescence at either date. | |||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value is 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 that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and | |||||||||||||
Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||
Stock Options - We estimate the fair value of stock options on grant date in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation, using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. Significant assumptions used in the calculation are as follows: | |||||||||||||
• | Expected term is determined in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using the simplified method for plain vanilla options by the average of the contractual term and vesting period of the award as appropriate statistical data required to properly estimate the expected term was not available; | ||||||||||||
• | Expected volatility is measured using the historical changes in the market price of our common stock and applicable comparison companies; | ||||||||||||
• | Risk-free interest rate is used to approximate the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and | ||||||||||||
• | Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of options granted by us and our analysis of potential future forfeitures. | ||||||||||||
Warrants - We estimate fair value of the warrant liability using Level 3 inputs for the initial valuation of the warrants using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model. The March 29, 2013 cashless exercise value was calculated using Level 1 and 3 inputs from the exercise of all warrants that were exercisable on that date and the quoted common stock market price. See Note 10. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - The fair value of the reporting unit used in the goodwill and other intangible assets impairment analysis performed during 2013 was determined assuming the suspension of funding of future development activities of the reporting unit and anticipated continuing negative cash flows from operations. These were determined to be level 3 inputs. | |||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment | ||||||||||||
We record property and equipment at cost. We provide for depreciation on the straight-line method, over the estimated useful lives of the assets. We amortize leasehold improvements over the shorter of the useful life or the remaining term of the related leases. We charge expenditures for repairs and maintenance to operations as incurred; we capitalize renewals and betterments when they extend the useful life of the asset. We record gains and losses on the disposition of property and equipment in the period incurred. We report assets to be disposed of, if any, at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $292,067, and $209,375, respectively. | |||||||||||||
The useful lives of property and equipment for purposes of computing depreciation are as follows: | |||||||||||||
Vehicles | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
Computer equipment | 3 to 5 years | ||||||||||||
Office furniture and fixtures | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
Machinery and equipment | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | 5 to 7 years | ||||||||||||
We review property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We measure recoverability of assets to be held and used by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If we consider such assets to be impaired, we measure the impairment recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We determine fair value based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the asset. | |||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||||||||
We analyze assets that are held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. We review the amortization method and period at least at each balance sheet date. The effects of any revision are recorded to operations when the change arises. We recognize impairment when the estimated undiscounted cash flow generated by those assets is less than the carrying amounts of such assets. The amount of impairment is the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of such assets. We carry assets held for sale, if any, at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. We did not recognize any impairment charges for long-lived assets during 2014 and 2013. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill | Goodwill | ||||||||||||
The excess of (i) the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the (ii) fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. We do not amortize goodwill; however, annually, or whenever there is an indication that goodwill may be impaired, we evaluate qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Our test of goodwill impairment includes assessing qualitative factors and the use of judgment in evaluating economic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, and entity-specific events, as well as overall financial performance. After evaluating these qualitative factors, an impairment loss was recorded in 2013 because the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s assets exceeded the fair value determined. Any future increases in the fair value amount will not result in an adjustment to the impairment loss recorded in our consolidated financial statements. See Note 16 regarding the impairment of goodwill recognized during 2013. We performed our Step 1 goodwill impairment analysis in the third quarter 2014 with no impairment recorded. | |||||||||||||
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share | ||||||||||||
We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We have other potentially dilutive securities outstanding that are not shown in a diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect in both 2014 and 2013 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities include options, restricted stock units, warrants, and convertible promissory notes (see Notes 7 and 12), and total 18,130,132 shares and 15,164,789 shares at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Concentrations | Concentrations | ||||||||||||
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and trade accounts receivable. We deposit our cash with commercial banks. Cash deposits at commercial banks are at risk to the extent that the balances exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured level per institution. The bank cash balances on deposit have exceeded federally insured limits, including $4,635,398 at December 31, 2014; however, we have never experienced any losses related to these balances. | |||||||||||||
We sell our products and services primarily to consumers, advertisers, and businesses without requiring collateral; however, we routinely assess the financial condition of our customers and maintain allowances for anticipated losses. The following table discloses the number of customers that accounted for more than 10% of our annual revenue and related receivable balances: | |||||||||||||
Customers Exceeding 10% | |||||||||||||

2013 | 1 | 76 | % | 31 | % | ||||||||
We believe we have no significant credit risk in excess of recorded reserves. | |||||||||||||
Investment in Quest | Investment in Quest | ||||||||||||
We account for investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which we exercise significant influence, under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not we exercise significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors, including, among others, representation on the investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company. Prior to July 17, 2013, we accounted for the investment in Quest under the equity method of accounting, in which the investee company’s accounts are not consolidated within our consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations. Our share of earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity in Quest Resource Management Group, LLC income” in our consolidated statement of operations. Our carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the caption “Investment in Quest Resources Management Group, LLC” in our consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to our acquisition of the Quest Interests, the operational activity and the balance sheet are consolidated with QRHC. | |||||||||||||
Income Taxes | Income Taxes | ||||||||||||
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. We establish valuation allowances to reduce a deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. We assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets based on current earnings performance and on projections of future taxable income in the relevant tax jurisdictions. These projections do not include taxable income from the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and do not reflect a general growth assumption but do consider known or pending events, such as the passage of legislation. We review our estimates of future taxable income annually. All tax positions are first analyzed to determine if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. After the initial analysis, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our income tax returns are subject to adjustment under audit for approximately the last three years. | |||||||||||||
If we are required to pay interest on the underpayment of income taxes, we recognize interest expense in the first period the interest becomes due according to the provisions of the relevant tax law. | |||||||||||||
If we are subject to payment of penalties, we recognize an expense for the amount of the statutory penalty in the period when the position is taken on the income tax return. If we did not recognize the penalty in the period when the position was initially taken, we recognize the expense in the period when we change our judgment about meeting minimum statutory thresholds related to the initial position taken. | |||||||||||||
Advertising | Advertising | ||||||||||||
We charge our advertising costs to expense when incurred. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, advertising expense totaled $72,241 and $29,440, respectively. | |||||||||||||
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||
We expense all share-based grants to employees, including grants of employee stock options, based on their estimated fair values at grant date, in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation. We record compensation expense for stock options over the vesting period using the estimated fair value on the date of grant, as calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. We classify all share-based awards to employees as equity instruments and recognize the vesting of the awards ratably over their respective terms. See Note 12 for a description of our share-based compensation plan and information related to awards granted under the plan. |

Convertible Note Amendment Description | (i) amended how the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise would be defined in a formula used to calculate the net number of shares that Stockbridge would receive upon a cashless exercise, (ii) extended the maturity date of the Convertible Note to October 1, 2015, (iii) revised the terms of Warrant 1-5 to apply the conversion rate from the shares of Earth911 to the number of shares of our common stock underlying Warrant 1-5 and the exercise price at which such shares would be issued upon the exercise date, and (iv) amended the exercisable dates of the contingent Warrant 1-2, the contingent Warrant 1-3, and the contingent Warrant 1-4 to be exercisable 42 months, 45 months, and 48 months, respectively, following the issuance date of the contingent warrants. Finally, Stockbridge retroactively agreed to waive its right to effect a partial conversion of the Convertible Note, with such waiver to be effective for a period of 12 months from October 17, 2012 | |||||||
