11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Sale of Capitalized Software

On January 7, 2015, in an effort to give investors a more concentrated presence in the waste industry the Company sold the capitalized software assets of Here to Serve Technology, LLC (HTST) to Mobile Science Technologies, Inc., a Georgia corporation (MSTI), a related party due to being owned by some of the shareholders of the Company. No gain or loss was recognized on this transaction as the Company received equity equal to book value ($434,532) of the capitalized software in the exchange. This represents approximately 15% of the equity of MSTI and is reflected in the accompanying balance sheet as “investment in related party affiliate”. The Company's investment of 15% of the common stock of MSTI is accounted for under the equity method because the company exercises significant influence over its operating and financial activities. Significant influence is exercised because both Companies have a Board Member in common. Accordingly, the investment in MSTI is carried at cost, adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of earnings or losses.

The following presents unaudited summary financial information for MSTI. Such summary financial information has been provided herein based upon the individual significance of this unconsolidated equity method investment to the consolidated financial information of the Company.

Following is a summary of financial position and results of operations of MSTI:
