PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

General

 

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

 

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

 

In February 2013, the Company acquired the rights to a spirits line of business and compiled a team of beverage, entertainment, retail and consumer product industry professionals. During this time, the Company focused on the marketing and distribution of premium alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages with an emphasis on utilizing and leveraging associations with iconic brand names, brands with historic origins or entertainers and celebrities. We intended on developing, producing, marketing and distributing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for sale primarily in the continental United States.

 

On January 10, 2014, the Company came to agreement with the original owners of the spirits brand Le Flav Spirits, to cancel the previous agreement and the license was returned to them. The cancellation of a Consulting Agreement between the Company and Le Flav Spirits resulted in the return and cancellation 1,765,000 of the shares of common stock of the Company that had previously been issued in conjunction with the Company’s spirits line of business. In connection with the cancellation of the Consulting Agreement, Le Flav Spirits also agreed to cancel a $2,000,000 promissory note issued by the Company and a $65,000 annual consulting contract with the Company. 

 

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

In May 2014, our Board of Directors voted to change the name of the Company from Amerigo Energy, Inc. to Quest Solution, Inc., and the Company received the approval from a majority of its stockholders and filed the amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of Delaware. The name change became effective by the State of Delaware on May 30, 2014. The Company also requested a new stock symbol as a result of the name change and we were assigned our new trading symbol “QUES” on the OTCQB.

 

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

 

On November 20, 2014, the Board appointed Scot Ross, formerly the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of BCS, as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Kurt Thomet, formerly the Founder and President of Quest Solution prior to its acquisition by the Company, as the Company’s President. Concurrently with these appointments, the Company entered into respective employment agreements with Jason F. Griffith, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Ross, and Mr. Thomet.

 

Strategy

 

Following the acquisition of Quest Solution and BCS, the Company’s strategy is to continue to acquire profitable, strategic companies in the mobile systems integration market building the leading company in our market. An important tenet of the Company’s strategy is to acquire companies that are accretive with Quest’s publicly traded common stock combined with earn-out from the selling company. Acquiring private companies, at private company valuations, with publicly valued stock is accretive to current stakeholders and provides an upside to the stockholders of the acquired companies.

 

The Company is a national mobility systems integrator with a focus on design, delivery, deployment and support of fully integrated mobile and automatic identification data collection solutions. Quest takes a consultative approach by offering end-to-end solutions that include hardware, software, communications and full lifecycle management services. Quest simplifies the integration process with its experienced team of professionals. The Company delivers problem solving solutions backed by numerous customer references. The Company offers comprehensive packaged and configurable software.

Quest also delivers full installation services for all mobile, data collection computers and printing equipment including full staging and kitting of the equipment.

Target Markets

 

Based on its expertise, competence, success and software solution set, Quest focuses on markets that represent high-return mobile line of business applications, Quest installs bases in need of replacement and aligning with its telemarketing and vertical market specialist talent and contact list. The Company traditionally focuses in manufacturing, distribution, logistics, retail, and healthcare sectors.

 

Competitive overview

 

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

 

Sales Strategy

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

General Discussion of Operations

 

Concentrations 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s revenues.

 

Accounts receivable at December 31, 2014 are made up of trade receivables due from customers in the ordinary course of business. One customer made up 34% of the balance for 2014, which represented greater than 10% of accounts receivable at December 31, 2014.

 

Accounts payable are made up of payable due to vendors in the ordinary course of business at December 31, 2014. One vendor made up 82% of the balance, which represented greater than 10% of accounts payable at December 31, 2014.

 

Employees and Consultants

Expected Significant Changes In The Number Of Employees

 

The Company does not expect any significant change in the number of employees at the parent company over the next twelve (12) months of operations. As noted previously, the Company currently coordinates all operations, using its executive officers and various consultants as necessary. Should the Company be approached with an accretive acquisition that the Company determines is a positive return on investment and/or weighted average cost of capital, then there will likely be increases in employees who come with the acquired company.

The increase was related to the increased use of outside consultants and specifically attributable to the acquisitions of Quest Solution and BCS that the Company completed during 2014. In 2014, the Company incurred $90,202 of professional legal fees and $137,765 in accounting consulting expenses, including auditing expenses related to the acquisitions of Quest Solution and BCS.

 

Stock based compensation expense – Stock based compensation expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were $308,453, compared to $693,368 for the Year ended December 31, 2013. This decrease relates to the Company issuing fewer net shares for services and the increase in stock price during the period. $183,662 of the stock based compensation charge in 2014 relates to options issued to the Company’s officers and directors, while the balance relates to shares issued for consulting contracts which were expensed over the term of the contract.

 

Other income and expenses

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had $42,148 and $16,266, respectively, in other income. This increase is attributable to increased operations due to the acquisitions of Quest Solution and BCS that the Company completed during 2014.

 

The Company accrued $871,971 in interest expense for year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $278,700 for the year ended December 31, 2013. This is directly attributable to $800,000 of debt discount on the acquisition promissory notes with Quest Solution, as well as the increased operations in the Company and the interest expense on the debt for the acquisition.

 

The Company recognized a gain in debt settlement of $184,351 as of December 31, 2014, compared to gain on settlement of debt of $133,593 for the year ended December 31, 2013. These related to settlement of liabilities to outside parties, inclusive of settlement of the judgment payable and other debts settled at a discount.

 

The Company recognized a loss on license settlement of $93,578 related to the liquor brand, this was a non-cash item for 2014.  Additionally the Company recognized a $82,020 other expense related to one-time costs incurred for the business related to the acquisitions during the year.

 

Provision for income taxes

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $1,299,417 related to the reversal of a portion of a portion of the valuation allowance recorded on the deferred tax asset resulting from cumulative net operating loss carryforwards as a result of the acquisition of Quest Solution and BCS. Management’s analysis of the future use of the currently existing cumulative net operating loss carryforwards determined that it is more likely than not that a portion will be utilized prior to expiration. Accordingly, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset was reduced by 33% during the period ended December 31, 2014, and a tax benefit recognized.

Net income (loss) attributable to common stock

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The financial statements required by this Item are included as a separate section of this report commencing on page F-1.

 

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

Previous independent registered public accounting firm

 

(a) On January 20, 2015, Quest Solution, Inc. (the “Registrant” or the ‘Company”) was notified by L.L. Bradford & Company, LLC (“Bradford”) that the firm resigned as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm.  Except as noted in the paragraph immediately below, the reports of Bradford on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013 and for the period then ended did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

 

The reports of Bradford on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained the explanatory paragraphs which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has reported a net loss of for the year ended December 31, 2013 and had an accumulated deficit as of December 31, 2013 that raises doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Bradford also served as the auditor for Quest Marketing, Inc. and Bar Code Specialties, Inc., which were acquired in 2014 and the respective audit reports for those did not contain the explanatory paragraphs relative to going concern issues.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013 through January 20, 2015, the Company has not had any disagreements with Bradford on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to Bradford’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

During the years ended December 31, 2013  through January 20, 2015, there were no reportable events, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

New independent registered public accounting firm

 

On January 20, 2015  (the “Engagement Date”), the Company engaged RBSM LLP (“RBSM “) as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The decision to engage RBSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

During the two most recent fiscal years and through the Engagement Date, the Company has not consulted with RBSM regarding either:

 

1.the application of accounting principles to any specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report was provided to the Company nor oral advice was provided that RBSM concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or
   
 2.any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: The Company conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the Commission”) rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of December 31, 2014, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to a reasonable assurance level of achieving such objectives. However, it should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

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

 

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

 

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

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of its internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

 

Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

 

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

 

Changes In Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Quest Solution, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Quest Solution, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operation, stockholders’ equity, and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

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

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Amerigo Energy, Inc. as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operation, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 12 to the financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has an accumulated deficit that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 12. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

QUEST SOLUTION, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

NOTE 1 – HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

 

Quest Solution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“QUES” or the “Company”), formerly named Amerigo Energy, Inc. was incorporated in 1973. Prior to 2008, the Company was involved in various unrelated business activities. From 2008-2014 the company was involved in multiple businesses inclusive of an oil and gas investment company. Due to changes in market conditions, management determined to look for acquisitions which were positive cash flow and would provide immediate shareholder value. In January 2014, we made our first such acquisition of Quest Marketing Inc. (dba Quest Solution, Inc.).

 

Quest Solution is a national mobility systems integrator with a focus on design, delivery, deployment and support of fully integrated mobile solutions. The Company takes a consultative approach by offering end to end solutions that include hardware, software, communications and full lifecycle management services. The professionals simplify the integration process and deliver the solutions to our customers. Motorola, Intermec, Honeywell, Panasonic, AirWatch, Wavelink, SOTI and Zebra are major suppliers which Quest Solution uses in the solutions we provide to our customers.

 

In May 2014, our Board of Directors voted to get approval from the shareholders of the Company for a name change from Amerigo Energy, Inc. to Quest Solution, Inc. The company received the approval from a majority of its stockholders and filed the amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the State of Delaware. The name change became effective by the State of Delaware on May 30, 2014. The Company also requested a new stock symbol as a result of the name change and we assigned our new trading symbol “QUES”.

 

The Quest Solution business plan previously included developing oil and gas reserves while increasing the production rate base and cash flow. Due to declines in production on the oil leases the company had an interest in, the company was forced to revisit its position in the oil industry.

 

The Company’s business strategy developed into leveraging management’s relationships in the business world for investments for the Company. The company intends on continuing with its acquisition of existing companies with revenues and positive cash flow.

 

In November 2014, the company acquired 100% of the shares of Bar Code Specialties, Inc. (“BCS”) located in Southern California. BCS is a national mobility systems integrator and label manufacturer with a focus on warehouse and distribution industries. Since the combination of the two companies, the company has been exploring efficiencies in all facets of the businesses and learning best practices from both executive teams.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements of Quest Solution include the combined accounts of Quest Marketing, Inc., an Oregon Corporation and Bar Code Specialties, Inc., a California Corporation. BCS was acquired on November 21, 2014, and as such the operating results of BCS have been consolidated into the Company’s consolidated results of operations beginning on November 22, 2014. The company’s currently operate as a single business unit. All material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

 

Cash consists of petty cash, checking, savings, and money market accounts. For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federal insured limits. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s uninsured cash balance totaled $0 and $0, respectively.

 

F-7
 

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

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

 

PURCHASE ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

 

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

 

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

 

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

Accounts receivable are carried at their estimated collectible amounts. The Company provides allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable equal to the estimated collection losses that will be incurred in collection of all receivables. Accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. The Company’s management determines which accounts are past due and if deemed uncollectible, the Company charges off the receivable in the period the determination is made. The Company generally requires no collateral to secure its ordinary accounts receivable. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, accounts receivable past 90 days due totaled $118,913 and $0, respectively. Based on management’s evaluation, accounts receivable has a balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts of $66,215 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $16,222 and $-0-, 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 years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $9,376 and $-0-, respectively.

 

   2014   2013 
Software  $1,276,524   $-0-
Licenses   450,000    0 
Accumulated amortization   (1,251,033)   (-)
Intangibles, net  $466,870   $-0-

 

Total expected amortization expense for the next 2 years are as follows:

 

Years ending December 31,     
2015    8,968 
2016    7,902 
Total   $16,870 

 

The company has made a significant investment in software over the years. This amount is treated as intangible assets which are being amortized over the expected useful life. Intangible assets are evaluated annually for potential impairment.

 

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

 

F-8
 

 

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

 

Deferred Financing Costs incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt and the bank line of credit are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying indebtedness using the straight line method.

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

 

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs for purchases of raw materials as cost of goods sold and freight out as operating expenses in the statements of income. Total delivery costs for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $174,942 and $0, respectively.

 

ADVERTISING

 

The Company generally expenses advertising costs as incurred. During 2014 and 2013, the Company spent $236,142 (marketing, trade show and store front expense) and $0 on advertising, 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.

 

INVENTORY

 

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

 

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

 

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

 

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

F-9
 

 

Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

The Company measures certain liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis such as our contingent consideration related to business combinations and recognizes transfers within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurred. There have been no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

The Company has classified its contingent consideration related to the acquisitions as a Level 3 liability. Revenue and other assumptions used in the calculation require significant management judgment. The Company reassesses the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities on a quarterly basis. Based on that assessment, the Company recognized an adjustment of $0 and $0 to the actual calculation of the earn-out obligations during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2014, liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the following (in thousands):

REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

Recurring technology and services revenue consists of subscription-based fees, software subscription license fees, software maintenance fees and hosting fees related to the use of our solution to manage our customers’ communications expenses, as well as fees for perpetual software licenses and professional services and products sold.

 

We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery or performance of service has occurred. Recurring technology and services subscription-based fees, software subscription license fees, software maintenance fees and hosting fees are recognized ratably over the term of the period of service. The subscription-based services we provide include help desk, staging, carrier activations and provisioning.

 

Sales revenue is recognized upon the shipment of merchandise to customers. The Company recognizes revenues from software sales when software products are shipped.

 

Software license fees consist of fees paid for a perpetual license agreement for our technology, which are recognized in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 605, Software Revenue Recognition, as amended.

 

Professional services related to the implementation of our software products, which we refer to as consulting services, are generally performed on a fixed fee basis under separate service arrangements. Consulting services revenue is recognized as the services are performed by measuring progress towards completion based upon either costs or the achievement of certain milestones.

 

NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

 

Net loss per share is provided in accordance with FASB ASC 260-10, “Earnings per Share”. Basic net loss per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued, unless doing so is anti-dilutive. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for computing basic EPS for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 33,596,375 and 26,396,051, respectively.

 

F-10
 

 

The fully diluted number of 45,477,429, includes the potential of the existing senior subordinated debt holders converting their debt into common shareholder equity at $1.00 per share (for $6,375,000 in debt) and $2.00 per share (for $10,396,317 in debt). Despite the fact the conversion is “out of the money”, accounting rules require these amounts to be included in diluted shares outstanding. Additional terms of the debt would require the Board of Directors to consent to any debt holder converting and having a position greater than 4.99% outstanding on the date of conversion.

 

Goodwill

 

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

 

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

 

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Income tax expense is based on reported earnings before income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between assets and liabilities recognized for consolidated financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates in effect in years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company also follows the guidance related to accounting for income tax uncertainties. In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

NOTE 19 – INCOME TAX

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a tax benefit of $1,299,417 related to the reversal of a portion of a portion of the valuation allowance recorded on the deferred tax asset resulting from cumulative net operating loss carryforwards as a result of the acquisition of Quest Marketing, Inc. on January 9, 2014 and of Bar Code Specialties on November 21, 2014. Management’s analysis of the future use of the currently existing cumulative net operating loss carryforwards determined that it is more likely than not that a portion will be utilized prior to expiration. Accordingly, the valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset was reduced by 33% during the period ended December 31, 2014, and a tax benefit recognized.

 

The Company has evaluated the deferred income taxes with regards to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and has determined no limitations on the use of net operating loss carryforwards exist at December 31, 2014.

 

The Company reported no uncertain tax liability as of December 31, 2014 and expects no significant change to the uncertain tax liability over the next twelve months.

 

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a net operating loss (NOL) carryforward of approximately $11,581,254 adjusted for stock based compensation and certain other non-deductible items available to reduce future taxable income, if any. The NOL carryforward begins to expire in 2021.

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

 

   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
Deferred tax assets   3,937,626    3,937,626 
Valuation allowance   (2,638,210)   (3,937,626)
Total deferred tax assets  $1,299,417   $- 

 

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,638,210 and $3,937,626, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would be realized for at least 33% of the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2014 and not realized as of December 31, 2013, and recorded a full valuation allowance. As the Company continues its integration process of Quest Marketing, Inc. and Bar Code Specialties, Inc., the Company will continue to monitor the potential utilization of this asset. Should factors and evidence change to aid in this assessment, a potential adjustment to the valuation allowance in future periods may occur.

 

Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

 

Federal statutory tax rate   (35.0)%
Permanent difference and other   35.0%
Effective tax rate   0.0%
