Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The interim consolidated financial statements of Quest Solution, Inc. include the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, Inc., an Oregon Corporation, Bar Code Specialties, Inc., (BCS) a California Corporation and Quest Canada, Inc., (formerly known as ViascanQdata, Inc.), (Viascan) a Canadian based operation in the same business line as Quest.. BCS was acquired on November 21, 2014, and as such the operating results of BCS have been consolidated into the Companys consolidated results of operations beginning on November 22, 2014. Effective October 1, 2015, the financial statements of Viascan have been consolidated into the Companys consolidated results of operations. The companies currently operate as a single business unit. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The interim consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies This summary of significant accounting policies of Quest Solution, Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Companys consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Companys management who is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. Cash Cash consists of petty cash, checking, savings, and money market accounts. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. The Company has restricted cash on deposit with a federally insured bank in the amount of $553,439 at March 31, 2016. This cash is security and collateral for a corporate credit card agreement with a bank and for deposit against a letter of credit issued for executive life insurance policies owned by the Company. 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 Companys 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 managements evaluation, accounts receivable has a balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $88,215 and $83,870 for the period ending March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are stated at purchased cost and depreciated using both straight-line and accelerated methods over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 15 years. Upon disposition of property and equipment, related gains and losses are recorded in the results of operations. Depreciation expense for period ending March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $70,162 and $155,798, respectively. For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using the modified accelerated cost recovery system. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. The assets are being amortized on the straight-line method over useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years. Amortization expense for the period ending March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $425,428 and $2,506,168, respectively. March 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Goodwill $ 21,252,024 $ 21,252,024 Trade Names 4,390,000 4,390,000 Customer Relationships 9,190,000 9,190,000 Accumulated amortization (2,931,592 ) (2,506,168 ) Intangibles, net $ 31,909,432 $ 32,325,856 Total expected amortization expense for the next 2 years are as follows: Years ending December 31, 2016 $ 1,701,714 2017 1,701,714 Total $ 3,403,428 Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Our impairment testing of goodwill is performed separately from our impairment testing of intangibles. The annual evaluation for impairment of goodwill and intangibles is based on valuation models that incorporate assumptions and internal projections of expected future cash flows and operating plans. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company has made a significant investment in software over the years. This amount is treated as intangible assets which are being amortized over the expected useful life. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for potential impairment. Purchased intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives (using an accelerated method for customer relationships and trade names) to their estimated residual values, if any. The Companys finite-lived intangible assets consist of customer relationships, contractor and resume databases, trade names, and internal use software and are being amortized over periods ranging from two to nine years. Purchased intangible assets are reviewed annually to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If such facts and circumstances exist, recoverability is assessed by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their remaining lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairments, if any, are based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. If the useful life is shorter than originally estimated, the rate of amortization is accelerated and the remaining carrying value is amortized over the new shorter useful life. No impairments were identified or changes to estimated useful lives have been recorded as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The net value of these intangible assets of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $9,567 and $8,250. No additions were made in the first quarter of 2016. ADVERTISING The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the period ending March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, the Company spent $21,688 and $77,410 on advertising (marketing, trade show and store front expense), net of co-operative rebates, respectively. The Company received rebates on advertising from co-operative advertising agreements with several vendors and suppliers. These rebates have been recorded as a reduction to the related advertising and marketing expense in the period earned. INVENTORY Substantially all inventory consists of raw materials and finished goods and are valued based upon first-in first-out (FIFO) cost, not in excess of market. The determination of whether the carrying amount of inventory requires a write-down is based on a detailed evaluation of inventory relative to any potential slow moving products or discontinued items as well as the market conditions for the specific inventory items. Inventory reserves relating primarily to the acquisition of Viascan on October 1, 2015 of $649,511 and $609,443, were recorded as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the non-cash write-down of tangible and intangible assets over their expected economic lives. We expect this expense to continue to grow in absolute dollars and potentially as a percentage of revenue as we continue to grow and incur capital expenditures to improve our technological infrastructure and acquire assets through potential future acquisitions. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that prioritize the use of observable inputs over the use of unobservable inputs, when such observable inputs are available. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: ● Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. ● Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data. ● Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by the Company. Assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements. The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observable inputs may result in a reclassification of assets and liabilities within the three levels of the hierarchy outlined above. Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The Company measures certain liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis such as our contingent consideration related to business combinations and recognizes transfers within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There have been no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the period ending March 31, 2016 or fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. The Company has classified its contingent consideration related to the acquisitions as a Level 3 liability. As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any unrecorded contingent liabilities. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, Earnings per Share. Basic net loss per common share (EPS) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 were 36,947,978 and 35,029,495, respectively. The fully diluted number of 45,213,835, includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting their debt into common shareholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $2,656,382 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $1,962,382 in debt). Despite the fact the conversion is out of the money, accounting rules require these amounts to be included in diluted shares outstanding. Additional terms of the debt would require the Board of Directors to consent to any debt holder converting and having a position greater than 4.99% outstanding on the date of conversion. GOODWILL Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is tested annually at December 31 for impairment. The annual qualitative or quantitative assessments involve determining an estimate of the fair value of reporting units in order to evaluate whether an impairment of the current carrying amount of goodwill exists. A qualitative assessment evaluates whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units 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 Companys annual impairment assessments. We test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or, under certain circumstances, more frequently, such as when events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. We are required to write down the value of goodwill only when our testing determines the recorded amount of goodwill exceeds the fair value. Our annual measurement date for testing goodwill impairment is December 31, at which date we test our reporting units, which is currently our ownership in Quest Solution, Inc. Foreign currency translation, foreign exchange contracts and comprehensive loss The functional currency of the Companys foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of the foreign subsidiaries financial statements are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reported as a separate component of stockholders equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in net income (loss). The Company currently does not enter into financial instruments for either trading or speculative purposes. There were no forward foreign exchange contracts used during the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Total comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and other comprehensive earnings losses 1,858, such as foreign currency translation gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale marketable securities. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS The Company has evaluated the recent pronouncements and believes that none of them will have a material effect on the Companys financial statements. |
