Discontinued Operations – Divesture of Quest Solution Canada, Inc.

 

Effective September 30, 2016, the Company sold all of the outstanding shares of Quest Solution Canada Inc. The Company decided to sell this division primarily because it has incurred significant operating losses.

 

The consideration received was $1.0 million in cash of which $576,592 was received at closing and the balance is to be received before April 30, 2017. In addition, the Company has redeemed 1 share of Preferred Class B Stock and 1,839,030 shares of Preferred Class C Stock of the Company, as well as the accrued dividend of $31,742 thereon. Lastly, Quest Exchange Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, redeemed 5,200,000 exchangeable shares as part of the divestiture.

 

Additionally, as part of the transaction, Viascan Group Inc., the acquirer, assumed $1.0 million of liabilities which the Company had at September 30, 2016. Other consideration that is part of the transaction included:

 

  Full release from five employment contracts, inclusive of the former CEO, Gilles Gaudreault. This release included cancelation of the contracts as well as the deferred salary and signing bonus provisions which would have inured to the employee.
     
  The Company canceled the intercompany debts of approximately $7.0 million as well. The Company will also receive a contingent consideration of 15% of the net value proceeds, up to a maximum of $2.3 million, received upon a liquidity event or a change of control of Quest Solution Canada Inc. for a period of 7 years subsequent to the transaction.
     
  The Company also negotiated a right of first refusal for any offer to purchase Quest Solution Canada Inc. for a 7 year period.
     
  The assets sold consisted primarily of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, and other assets. The buyer also assumed certain accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

 

On September 30, 2016, the Company divested its Canadian operations, Quest Solution Canada, Inc., in order to focus its efforts and resources on its US operations. This represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

 

Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, operating results, and operating and investing activities cash flows for the former Canadian operations are presented as a discontinued operation separate from the Company’s continuing operations, for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements and footnotes, unless indicated otherwise.
