2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Presentation and Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2019 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We derived the December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet data from audited financial statements; however, we did not include all disclosures required by GAAP. As QRHC, Quest, LDI, Youchange, QVC, QV One, and QSS each operate as environmental-based service companies, we did not deem segment reporting necessary.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are subject to seasonal variations, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Net Loss per Share

We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss applicable 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 2019 and 2018 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities include stock options and warrants and totaled 3,921,048 and 3,497,424 shares at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The following table sets forth the anti-dilutive securities excluded from diluted loss per share:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), using a modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of January 1, 2019.  Accordingly, prior year financial statement data is presented in accordance with the previous ASC Topic 840, Leases, and no retrospective adjustments were made to the comparative periods presented.  We elected the package of practical expedients, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessment of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification, and (3) initial direct costs.  As of January 1, 2019, we recognized an operating right-of-use asset of approximately $2.0 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $2.2 million.  Finance lease assets were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842, as finance lease liabilities and the corresponding assets were already recorded on the balance sheet under ASC 840.  The adoption did not materially impact our results of operations or cash flows and no cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit was necessary as of January 1, 2019.  Refer to Note 7, Leases for additional information and enhanced disclosures related to this amended guidance.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the full retrospective approach for all ongoing customer contracts.  Refer to Note 8, Revenue for additional information and disclosures related to this amended guidance.

Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides guidance on measuring credit losses on financial instruments.  The amended guidance replaces current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for us on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019.  We are assessing the provisions of this amended guidance; however, the adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $67,516, including $33,498 of depreciation expense reflected within “Cost of revenue” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as it related to assets used in directly servicing customer contracts.  Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $103,310, including $45,296 of depreciation expense reflected within “Cost of revenue.”

We recorded a right-of-use operating lease asset of $2.0 million related to our corporate office lease upon the adoption of ASC 842 effective January 1, 2019.  Refer to Note 7, Leases for additional information.

On February 20, 2018 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Earth Media Partners, LLC to sell certain assets of our wholly owned subsidiary, Earth911, Inc., in exchange for a 19% interest in Earth Media Partners, LLC, which was recorded as an investment in the amount of $246,585 as of the Closing Date, and a potential future earn-out amount of approximately $350,000.  The net assets sold related to the Earth911.com website business and consisted primarily of the website and its content and customers, deferred revenue, and accounts receivable as of the Closing Date.  Following the Closing Date, Earth911, Inc. was subsequently renamed Quest Sustainability Services, Inc.  In addition to our investment in Earth Media Partners, LLC, we accrued a receivable in the amount of $74,298 related to the earn-out as of March 31, 2019.  The carrying amount of our investment and the accrued earn-out receivable are included in other assets.

Revolving Credit Facility

6. Revolving Credit Facility

We entered into a Loan, Security and Guaranty Agreement (the “Citizens Loan Agreement”), dated as of February 24, 2017, with Citizens Bank, National Association as a lender, and as administrative agent, collateral agent, and issuing bank, which provides for an asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) of up to $20 million and an equipment loan facility in the maximum principal amount of $2.0 million.

Each loan under the ABL Facility bears interest, at our option, at either the Base Rate, as defined in the Citizens Loan Agreement, plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% (6.75% as of March 31, 2019), or the LIBOR lending rate for the interest period in effect, plus a margin ranging from 2.0% to 2.5% (4.85% as of March 31, 2019). The maturity date of the ABL Facility is February 24, 2022.  

We had no borrowings under the equipment loan facility, which were required to be requested no later than February 24, 2019.  

The ABL Facility contains certain specific financial covenants regarding a minimum liquidity requirement and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio.  In addition, the ABL Facility contains negative covenants limiting, among other things, additional indebtedness, transactions with affiliates, additional liens, sales of assets, dividends, investments and advances, mergers and acquisitions, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

The amount of interest expense related to borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $86,742 and $84,288, respectively.  Debt issuance cost of $469,507 is being amortized to interest expense over the term of the ABL Facility beginning March 1, 2017.  As of March 31, 2019, the unamortized portion of the debt issuance costs was $273,879.  The amount of interest expense related to the amortization of the discount on the ABL Facility for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $23,475.  As of March 31, 2019, the ABL Facility borrowing base availability was $12,811,000 and the outstanding liability was $5,157,659, net of unamortized debt issuance cost of $273,879.

ASU 2016-02 Adoption

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and the related amendments (collectively “ASC 842”).  We used the optional transition method of adoption, in which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard, as of January 1, 2109, to our existing leases was approximately $2.0 million and $2.2 million to record the operating lease right-of-use asset and the related liabilities, respectively, all of which relate to our corporate office lease.  Under this method of adoption, the comparative information in the condensed consolidated financial statements has not been revised and continues to be reported under the previous applicable lease accounting guidance (ASC 840).  Leases with terms of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet.

When we have the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and if it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we consider these options in determining the classification and measurement of the lease.

As of December 31, 2018, leases classified as capital leases under ASC 840 were included in Property and equipment, net and represented almost fully depreciated office equipment with a negligible book value.

We lease certain equipment to a customer under a lease arrangement that expires in 2020.  The capital lease receivable amounts are approximately $150,000 at March 31, 2019, the majority of which is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets.  

Balance Sheet Classification

The table below presents the lease related assets and liabilities recorded on the balance sheet. Right-of-use assets and related liabilities related to finance leases at March 31, 2019 are de minimis and mature in less than 12 months.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded approximately $150,000 of fixed cost operating lease expense.  Our operating lease expense is offset by a minimum annual incentive received from a local Economic Development Council (“EDC”), which is accrued monthly and will continue over the term of the lease through August 2022.  This minimum annual incentive is $63,000, which will increase to $93,600 for the annual incentive period starting September 2020.  

Cash paid for operating leases approximated operating lease expense and non-cash right of use asset amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2019.  We did not obtain any new operating lease right-of-use assets in the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Other Information

Our office lease had a remaining term of 3.5 years as of March 31, 2019, and we used an effective interest rate of 2.456%, which was our incremental borrowing rate in effect at the inception of the lease as our lease does not provide a readily determinable implicit rate.

The future minimum lease payments required under our office lease as of March 31, 2019 were as follows:

8. Revenue

Operating Revenues

We provide businesses with services to reuse, recycle, and dispose of a wide variety of waste streams and recyclables generated by their operations.  In addition, we have product sales and other revenue primarily from sales of products, such as antifreeze and windshield washer fluid, as well as minor ancillary services.  

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue as services are performed or products are delivered.  For example, we recognize revenue as waste and recyclable material are collected or when products are delivered.  We recognize revenue net of any contracted pricing discounts or rebate arrangements.    

We generally recognize revenue for the gross amount of consideration received as we are generally the primary obligor (or principal) in our contracts with customers as we hold complete responsibility to the customer for contract fulfillment.  We record amounts collected from customers for sales tax on a net basis.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by source.  Sales and usage-based taxes are excluded from revenue.  Three customers accounted for 59.7% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and three customers accounted for 48.4% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018.  We operate primarily in the United States, with minor services in Canada.

Contract Balances

Our incremental direct costs of obtaining a customer contract are generally deferred and amortized to selling, general, and administrative expense or as a reduction to revenue (depending on the nature of the cost) over the estimated life of the customer contract.  We classify our contract acquisition costs as current or noncurrent based on the timing of when we expect to recognize the amortization and are included in other assets.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $165,000 and $7,448, respectively, of deferred contract costs.  During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we amortized $53,750 and nil of deferred contract costs to selling, general, and administrative expense and as a reduction to income, respectively.  During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we amortized $33,333 and $18,069 of deferred contract costs to selling, general, and administrative expense and as a reduction to income, respectively.  

We bill certain customers in advance, and, accordingly, we defer recognition of related revenues as a contract liability until the services are provided and control is transferred to the customer.  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $50,268 and $69,473, respectively, of deferred revenue, the majority of which was classified in “Deferred revenue and other current liabilities.”

Income Taxes

9. Income Taxes

Our statutory income tax rate is anticipated to be 27%.  However, we had income tax expense of $54,769 on a net operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which is attributable to state tax obligations for states with no net operating loss carryforwards, and the continued reserve against the benefit of the net operating losses at the federal level.

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 to reduce the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, is more likely than not to be realized. Realization of our net operating loss carryforward was not reasonably assured as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and we had recorded a valuation allowance of $12,195,000 and $12,202,000, respectively, against deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $18,900,000, which expire at various dates ranging from 2031-2037.

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, and the ABL Facility. We do not believe that we are exposed to significant interest, currency, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values using Level 3 inputs, based on their short maturities or, for the ABL Facility, based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities.

Subsequent to quarter end, three stockholders sold approximately 4.3 million shares of our common stock in a registered public offering that closed on April 11, 2019.  In a separate private transaction, a certain selling stockholder sold 1,750,000 shares of our common stock. The offering and private transaction, together the “Transactions”, closed on April 11, 2019.  We did not receive any proceeds from sales by the selling stockholders in the Transactions.  We incurred costs and expenses in connection with the Transactions, consisting of various registration, due diligence, printing, and professional service fees and expenses, and such costs, less amounts reimbursed by the selling stockholders at the closing of the Transactions, were approximately $245,000.  Of the $245,000, approximately $230,000 is included in selling, general, and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019, with the remaining $15,000 to be recorded in April 2019.

Principles of Presentation and Consolidation

Principles of Presentation and Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures that are made are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in our opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at March 31, 2019 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We derived the December 31, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet data from audited financial statements; however, we did not include all disclosures required by GAAP. As QRHC, Quest, LDI, Youchange, QVC, QV One, and QSS each operate as environmental-based service companies, we did not deem segment reporting necessary.

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are subject to seasonal variations, and the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Net Loss Per Share

Net Loss per Share

We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss applicable 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 2019 and 2018 would be anti-dilutive. These potentially dilutive securities include stock options and warrants and totaled 3,921,048 and 3,497,424 shares at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), using a modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of January 1, 2019.  Accordingly, prior year financial statement data is presented in accordance with the previous ASC Topic 840, Leases, and no retrospective adjustments were made to the comparative periods presented.  We elected the package of practical expedients, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessment of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification, and (3) initial direct costs.  As of January 1, 2019, we recognized an operating right-of-use asset of approximately $2.0 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $2.2 million.  Finance lease assets were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 842, as finance lease liabilities and the corresponding assets were already recorded on the balance sheet under ASC 840.  The adoption did not materially impact our results of operations or cash flows and no cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit was necessary as of January 1, 2019.  Refer to Note 7, Leases for additional information and enhanced disclosures related to this amended guidance.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the full retrospective approach for all ongoing customer contracts.  Refer to Note 8, Revenue for additional information and disclosures related to this amended guidance.

Pending Adoption

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides guidance on measuring credit losses on financial instruments.  The amended guidance replaces current incurred loss impairment methodology of recognizing credit losses when a loss is probable with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to assess credit loss estimates.  ASU 2016-13 is effective for us on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted on January 1, 2019.  We are assessing the provisions of this amended guidance; however, the adoption of the standard is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet adopted that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.
