NOTE1 –     THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The Company

 

Radiant Logistics, Inc. (the "Company") is a non-asset based transportation and logistics services company providing customers domestic and international freight forwarding services and other value added supply chain management services, including order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing. The Company is executing a strategy to expand operations through a combination of organic growth and the strategic acquisition of non-asset based transportation and logistics providers meeting the Company’s acquisition criteria.

 

The Company’s first acquisition of Airgroup Corporation ("Airgroup") was completed on January 1, 2006. Airgroup, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington, is a non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding services through a network of exclusive agent offices across North America.

 

The Company continues to seek additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and has completed five material acquisitions since its acquisition of Airgroup. In November 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of Automotive Services Group in Detroit, Michigan to service the automotive industry. In September 2008, the Company acquired Adcom Express, Inc. d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), adding an additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting the Company’s overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April 2011, the Company acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air ("DBA"), adding an additional 26 locations across North America, further expanding the Company’s physical network and service capabilities. In December 2011, the Company acquired Laredo, Texas based Isla International Ltd, (“Isla”) to serve as the Company’s gateway to Mexico. In February 2012, the Company acquired New York-JFK based Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics, Inc. (“ALBS”), a strategic location for domestic and international logistics services.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Adcom, the Company changed the name of Airgroup Corporation to Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. ("RGL") in order to better position its centralized back-office operations to service a multi-brand network. RGL, through the Radiant, Airgroup, Adcom and DBA network brands, has a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers through a combination of company owned and exclusive agency offices and international agents positioned strategically around the world.

 

The Company’s growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and growth through acquisition. For organic growth, the Company will focus on strengthening and retaining existing, and expanding new customer agency relationships. Since the Company’s acquisition of Airgroup in January 2006, the Company has focused its efforts on the build-out of its network of exclusive agency offices, as well as enhancing its back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems. In addition to the focus on organic growth, the Company will continue to search for targets that fit within its acquisition criteria.

 

Interim Disclosure

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company’s management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

 

The interim period information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the respective interim periods. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an entire year.

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as a single variable interest entity, Radiant Logistics Partners, LLC ("RLP"), which is 40% owned by RGL, and 60% owned by RCP, an affiliate of Bohn H. Crain, the Company’s CEO, whose accounts are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

NOTE2 –     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

a)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include revenue recognition, accruals for the cost of purchased transportation, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, changes in contingent consideration, accounting for the issuance of shares and share-based compensation, the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

b)Fair Value Measurements

 

In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

 

c)Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair values of the Company’s receivables, income tax deposit, accounts payable and accrued transportation costs, commissions payable, other accrued costs, and amounts due to former shareholders of acquired operations approximate the carrying values dues to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s credit facility, DBA notes payable, and other long-term liabilities would not differ significantly from the recorded amount if recalculated based on current interest rates. The fair value of the subordinated Caltius notes payable is not practicable to determine given the complex terms associated with this instrument. Contingent consideration attributable to the Company's recent acquisitions of Isla and ALBS are reported at fair value. 

 

d)Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.

 

e)Concentrations

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

 

f)Accounts Receivable

 

The Company’s receivables are recorded when billed and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Company’s receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on a customer-by-customer basis. The Company records a reserve for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to an amount the Company believes will be reasonably collected. The reserve is a discretionary amount determined from the analysis of the aging of the accounts receivable, historical experience and knowledge of specific customers.

 

10
 

 

 

The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue pursuant to exclusive agency agreements with independently-owned stations operating under the various Company brands. Each individual station is responsible for some or all of the bad debt expense related to the underlying customers being serviced by the station. To facilitate this arrangement, each station is required to maintain a security deposit with the Company that is recognized as a liability in the Company’s financial statements. The Company charges each individual station’s bad debt reserve account for any accounts receivable aged beyond 90-days. The bad debt reserve account is continually replenished with a portion (typically 5% - 10%) of the station’s weekly commission check being directed to fund this account. However, the bad debt reserve account may carry a deficit balance when amounts charged to this reserve exceed amounts otherwise available in the bad debt reserve account. In these circumstances, deficit bad debt reserve accounts are recognized as a receivable in the Company’s financial statements. Further, the agency agreements provide that the Company may withhold all or a portion of future commission checks payable to the individual station in satisfaction of any deficit balance. As of the date of this report, a number of the Company’s agency stations have a deficit balance in their bad debt reserve account. The Company expects to replenish these funds through the future business operations of these stations. However, to the extent any of these stations were to cease operations or otherwise be unable to replenish these deficit accounts, the Company would be at risk of loss for any such amount. As of the date of this Report, the Company has begun collection proceedings against two customers who owe the Company approximately $1.5 million. The Company has expensed its portion of these amounts. While there can be no assurance as to the amount that may be recovered in the future, based upon, among others: (i) the Company’s historic collection experience; (ii) the portion of the bad debt recoverable from the individual agency station responsible for the account; and (iii) the anticipated recovery likely from these customers; the Company does not believe its exposure to these customers will be material.

 

g)Furniture and Equipment

 

Technology (computer software, hardware, and communications), furniture, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation is computed using five to seven year lives for vehicles, communication, office, furniture, and computer equipment using the double declining balance method. Computer software is depreciated over a three year life using the straight line method of depreciation. For leasehold improvements, the cost is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life on a straight line basis. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in other income or expense. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of minor items are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized.

 

h)Goodwill

 

The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill. The first step of the impairment test requires that the Company determine the fair value of its reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit's carrying amount. The Company has only one reporting unit. To the extent the reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second, more detailed, impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. The Company performs its annual impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that time. As of March 31, 2012, management believes there are no indications of impairment.

 

i)Long-Lived Assets

 

Acquired intangibles consist of customer-related intangibles and covenants not to compete ("CNTC") agreements arising from our acquisitions. Customer-related intangibles are amortized using accelerated methods over approximately five years and CNTC agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the underlying agreement (see Notes 4, 5, 6 and 7).

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Management has performed a review of all long-lived assets and has determined no impairment of the respective carrying value has occurred as of March 31, 2012.

 

11
 

 

j)Commitments

 

The Company has operating lease commitments for equipment rentals, office space, and warehouse space under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through May 2021. As of March 31, 2012, minimum future lease payments under these non-cancelable operating leases for the next five fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

 

Fiscal Year Ending June 30  Amount 
2012 (remaining portion)  $519,966 
2013   2,086,112 
2014   1,923,133 
2015   1,623,333 
2016   1,011,221 
Thereafter   1,611,368 
      
Total minimum lease payments  $8,775,133 

 

Rent expense amounted to $527,229 and $1,509,579 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Rent expense amounted to $130,152 and $472,711 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

 

k)401(k) Savings Plan

 

The Company has employee savings plans under which the Company provides safe harbor matching contributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s contributions under the plans were $54,125 and $30,116 respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s contributions under the plans were $112,669 and $81,933 respectively.

 

l)Income Taxes

 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of particular assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided to offset the net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively.

 

m)Revenue Recognition and Purchased Transportation Costs

 

The Company derives its revenue from transportation and other value added services including warehousing and fulfillment services.

 

As a non-asset based carrier, the Company does not own transportation assets. The Company generates the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and reselling those services to its customers. Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where the Company issues a House Airway Bill ("HAWB") or a House Ocean Bill of Lading ("HOBL") are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin. Costs related to the shipments are also recognized at this same time based upon anticipated margins, contractual arrangements with direct carriers, and other known factors. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. The estimates are adjusted as deemed necessary by the Company to reflect differences between the original accruals and actual costs of purchased transportation.

 

12
 

 

This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which do not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognize revenue as progress on the transit is made. The Company’s method of revenue and cost recognition does not result in a material difference from amounts that would be reported under such other methods.

 

All other revenue, including revenue from other value added services including warehousing and fulfillment services, is recognized upon completion of the service.

 

n)Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions such that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited, stock volatility, the expected life of the award, and other inputs. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates, share-based compensation expense and the Company's results of operations could be materially impacted.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $68,682, which, net of income taxes, resulted in a $45,582 reduction of net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $14,794, which, net of income taxes, resulted in a $9,172 reduction of net income.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $134,091, which, net of income taxes, resulted in a $83,137 reduction of net income. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $95,564, which, net of income taxes, resulted in a $59,250 reduction of net income.

 

o)Basic and Diluted Income per Share

 

Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares, such as stock options, had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 32,493,001 shares of common stock.  Options to purchase 4,505,507 shares of common stock were not included in the diluted EPS computation for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as there was a loss in the period and they are thus anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 32,719,945 including options to purchase 3,758,282 shares of common stock at March 31, 2011, of which 110,503 were excluded as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 34,954,441, including options to purchase 4,514,879 shares at March 31, 2012, of which 214,300 were excluded as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 31,543,046.

 

13
 

 

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for earnings per share as follows: 

 

 

   Three months ended March 31,   Nine months ended March 31, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
Weighted average basic shares outstanding   32,493,001    30,514,759    32,039,823    30,368,446 
Options   -    2,205,186    2,914,618    1,174,600 
Weighted average dilutive shares outstanding   32,493,001    32,719,945    34,954,441    31,543,046 

 

p)Other Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has no components of Other Comprehensive Income and, accordingly, no Statement of Comprehensive Income has been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE3 –     RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE4 –     ACQUISITION OF ADCOM EXPRESS, INC.

 

On September 5, 2008, the Company entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") pursuant to which it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Adcom Express, Inc., d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), a privately-held Minnesota corporation founded in 1978. At the time of the acquisition, Adcom provided a full range of domestic and international freight forwarding solutions to a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers through a combination of three company-owned and twenty-seven independent agency locations across North America.

 

Contingent consideration associated with the acquisition of Adcom included "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" of up to $700,000 annually, covering the four year earn-out period through June 30, 2012, based upon Adcom achieving certain levels of "Gross Profit Contribution" (as defined in the Agreement), payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Company common stock (valued at delivery date); and a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" of up to $2,000,000, equal to 20% of the amount by which the Adcom cumulative Gross Profit Contribution exceeds $16,560,000 during the four year earn-out period. The Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments and certain amounts of the Tier-2 Payments may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a "Corporate Transaction" (as defined in the SPA), which includes a sale of Adcom or the Company, or certain changes in corporate control.

 

Assuming minimum targeted earnings levels are achieved, the following table summarizes our contingent base earn-out payments related to the acquisition of Adcom, for the fiscal year indicated based on achieving gross profit contributions (in thousands):

 

14
 

 

Estimated payment anticipated for fiscal year(1):       2013
Earn-out period:       7/1/2011 – 6/30/2012
Earn-out payments:        
Cash       $ 350
Equity         350
    Total potential earn-out payments       $ 700
           
Total gross margin targets       $ 4,320

 

 

(1)Earn-out payments are paid October 1 following each fiscal year end in a combination of cash and Company common stock.

 

No Tier II payments have been paid and management does not believe Tier II payments will be earned for the year ending June 30, 2012.

 

NOTE5 –     ACQUISITION OF DBA DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, INC.

 

On April 6, 2011, the Company closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc. ("DBA"), a privately-held New Jersey corporation founded in 1981. At the time of the acquisition DBA serviced a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers through a combination of company-owned logistics stations located in Somerset, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California and twenty-four agency offices located across North America. For financial accounting purposes, the transaction was deemed to be effective as of April 1, 2011. The shares of DBA were acquired by the Company via a merger transaction pursuant to which DBA was merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The $12.0 million purchase price consisted of $5.4 million paid in cash at closing, the delivery of $4.8 million in Company notes (payable in principal installments of $1.6 million on the anniversary date over the next three years plus interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum) and $1.8 million payable in cash in connection with the achievement of certain integration milestones to be paid within 180 days after the milestones have been achieved; however, no later than the 18th month following the closing. In May 2011, the Company elected to satisfy $2.4 million of the Company notes through the issuance of 1,071,429 shares of the Company's common stock. The remaining Company notes may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a “Corporate Transaction” (as defined in the Form of Note), which includes a future sale of DBA or the Company, or certain changes in corporate control. The cash component of the transaction was financed through a combination of our existing funds and funds available under an existing revolving credit facility provided by Bank of America, N.A.

 

The total net assets acquired were $12.0 million. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities at April 6, 2011:

 

Current assets  $16,909,820 
Furniture and equipment   562,257 
Deferred tax asset   723,666 
Intangibles   1,801,562 
Goodwill   5,021,603 
Other assets   392,562 
      
Total assets acquired   25,411,470 
      
Current liabilities   12,572,203 
Long term deferred tax liability   684,594 
Other long term liabilities   154,673 
      
Total liabilities acquired   13,411,470 
      
Net assets acquired  $12,000,000 

 

15
 

 

The fair value of the financial assets acquired included receivables with a fair value of $14,675,079 as of the acquisition date. The gross amount due under the contracts at the acquisition date was $15,728,582, of which $1,053,503 was expected to be uncollectible.

 

The fair values of the intangible assets were estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs. Under this method, an intangible asset's fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) attributable solely to the intangible asset over its remaining useful life. To calculate fair value, the Company used risk-adjusted cash flows discounted at rates considered appropriate given the inherent risks associated with each type of asset. The Company believes the level and timing of cash flows appropriately reflect market participant assumptions.

 

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the expected cost synergies associated with eliminating redundancies and migrating back office operations of DBA to the Company, in addition to an expectation of better buy rates from some carriers due to increased volumes associated with the acquisition of DBA.  The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

 

In January 2012, we asserted certain claims for indemnification against the former shareholders of DBA, relating to actions taken by certain former DBA shareholders following the transaction that we believe constitute breaches under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, and for which we have asserted set-off rights against certain future payments due to the former DBA shareholders under the Agreement and Plan of Merger. In a related matter, we have also commenced a legal action against an affiliate of a former DBA shareholder asserting damages and seeking injunctive relief relating to customer solicitations that we believe constitute a breach of certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations owed to the Company. Further reference is made to Item 1A, Part II of this Report, Risk Factors-DBA Claims Notice and Related Matters.

 

NOTE6 –     ACQUISITION OF ISLA INTERNATIONAL, LTD.

 

On December 1, 2011, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, RGL, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Laredo, Texas based Isla International, Ltd. ("Isla"), a privately-held company founded in 1996. At the time of the acquisition, Isla provided bilingual expertise in both north and south bound cross-border transportation and logistics services to a diversified account base including manufacturers in the automotive, appliance, electronics and consumer packaged goods industries from its strategically-aligned location in Laredo, Texas and will serve as the Company’s gateway to the Mexico markets. The transaction was structured as an asset purchase and valued at up to approximately $15.0 million, consisting of: (i) cash of $7,656,582 paid at closing, (ii) $1.325 million payable by issuance of 552,333 shares of our restricted stock on the three-month anniversary of the closing (valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price calculated preceding the delivery of the shares); (iii) up to $3.975 million in aggregate "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing, based upon the acquired Isla business unit generating a "Modified Gross Profit Contribution" (as defined within the Asset Purchase Agreement) of $6,927,644 for each twelve month earn-out period following closing; and (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" after the fourth anniversary of the closing, equal to 20% of the amount by which the aggregate "Modified Gross Profit Contribution" of the acquired Isla business unit during the four-year earn-out period exceeds $27,710,576, with such payment not to exceed $2.0 million. The various Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments and the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment shall be made in a combination of cash and our common stock, as we may, at our sole discretion, elect to satisfy up to 25% of each of the earn-out payments through the issuance of our common stock valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares.

 

The transaction was financed through the net proceeds made available through the issuance of $10.0 million in subordinated debt. As well, in connection with the transaction, the Company entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility with the Company's senior lender, Bank of America, N.A.

 

The total recorded purchase price consisted of an initial cash payment of $7,656,582, $1.325 million in future payments and estimated contingent consideration associated with the Tier-1 and Tier-2 earn-outs of $4.075 million. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities at December 1, 2011:

 

Furniture and equipment  $112,736 
Intangibles   7,847,976 
Goodwill   5,095,870 
      
Total assets acquired  $13,056,582 

  

The fair values of the intangible assets was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs. Under this method, an intangible asset's fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) attributable solely to the intangible asset over its remaining useful life. To calculate fair value, the Company used risk-adjusted cash flows discounted at rates considered appropriate given the inherent risks associated with each type of asset. The Company believes the level and timing of cash flows appropriately reflect market participant assumptions.

 

16
 

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using future projected gross margins of Isla and the corresponding future earn-out payments. To calculate fair value, the future earn-out payments were then discounted using Level 3 inputs. The Company believes the discount rate used to discount the earn-out payments reflect market participant assumptions.

 

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the strategic location of the Isla operation along the U.S-Mexico border, allowing Isla to serve as the Company's gateway to Mexico and a strategic differentiator in the marketplace. The goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a period of 15 years.

 

NOTE7 –     ACQUISITION OF BRUNSWICKS LOGISTICS, INC.

 

On February 27, 2012, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, RGL, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of New York based Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics Company ("ALBS"), a privately-held company founded in 1997. At the time of the acquisition, ALBS provided a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services across North America to a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers from its strategic international gateway location at New York-JFK airport. The transaction was structured as an asset purchase and valued at up to approximately $7.275 million, consisting of: (i) cash of $2,655,000 paid at closing, (ii) $295,000 payable in shares of our restricted stock on the three-month anniversary of the closing (valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares); (iii) up to $3.325 million in aggregate "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing; and (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" after the fourth anniversary of the closing, with such payment not to exceed $1.0 million.

 

The transaction was financed with proceeds from the credit facility with Bank of America, N.A.

 

The total recorded purchase price consisted of an initial cash payment of $2,655,000, $295,000 in future payments and estimated contingent consideration associated with the Tier-1 and Tier-2 earn-outs of $3.025 million. The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities at February 27, 2012:

 

Prepaid expenses  $2,750 
Intangibles   3,631,135 
Goodwill   2,341,115 
      
Total assets acquired  $5,975,000 

 

 

The fair values of the intangible assets was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs. Under this method, an intangible asset's fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) attributable solely to the intangible asset over its remaining useful life. To calculate fair value, the Company used risk-adjusted cash flows discounted at rates considered appropriate given the inherent risks associated with each type of asset. The Company believes the level and timing of cash flows appropriately reflect market participant assumptions.

 

The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using future projected gross margins of ALBS and the corresponding future earn-out payments. To calculate fair value, the future earn-out payments were then discounted using Level 3 inputs. The Company believes the discount rate used to discount the earn-out payments reflect market participant assumptions.

 

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the strategic location of the ALBS operation at New York-JFK airport, allowing ALBS to serve as the Company's gateway to international partners around the world and a strategic differentiator in the marketplace. The goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a period of 15 years.

 

17
 

 

Since acquisition, ALBS produced revenue of approximately $2.2 million and net income of less than $0.1 million, including other purchase accounting charges resulting from the acquisition.

 

If the acquisition had taken place effective July 1, 2010, the result would have produced combined revenue of $242.1 million and $237.9 million and combined net income of $1.7 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions and any borrowings undertaken to finance the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2011.

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share was $.05 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Basic and diluted earnings per share was $.06 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

NOTE11 – RELATED PARTY

 

RLP is owned 40% by RGL and 60% by Radiant Capital Partners, LLC ("RCP"), a company of which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the sole member. RLP is a certified minority business enterprise which was formed for the purpose of providing the Company with a national accounts strategy to pursue corporate and government accounts with diversity initiatives. RCP’s ownership interest entitles it to 60% of the profits and distributable cash, if any, generated by RLP. The operations of RLP are intended to provide certain benefits to the Company, including expanding the scope of services offered by the Company to its customers and to its exclusive agency stations, to enable participation in supplier diversity programs not otherwise available to the Company or its agency stations. In the course of evaluating and approving the ownership structure, operations and economics emanating from RLP, a committee consisting of the independent Board member of the Company, considered, among other factors, the significant benefits provided to the Company through association with a minority business enterprise, particularly as many of the Company’s largest current and potential customers have a need for diversity offerings. In addition, the Committee concluded that the economic relationship with RLP was on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available from unaffiliated third parties. RLP is consolidated in the financial statements of the Company (see Note 10).

 

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, RLP recorded $265,350 in profits; of which Mr. Crain’s distributable share was $159,210. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, RLP recorded $197,734 in profits; of which Mr. Crain’s distributive share was $118,640.

Caltius Senior Subordinated Notes

 

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Isla International, Ltd., effective as of December 1, 2011, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with Caltius Partners IV, LP and Caltius Partners Executive IV, LP (collectively, "Caltius"). Under the Investment Agreement, Caltius provided the Company with a $10.0 million aggregate principal amount evidenced by the issuance of senior subordinated notes (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"), the net proceeds of which were primarily used to finance the cash payments due at closing of the Isla transaction. The Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest at the rate of 13.5% per annum (the "Accrual Rate"), and must be paid currently in cash on a quarterly basis at a rate of 11.75% per annum (the "Pay Rate"). The outstanding principal balance of the Senior Subordinated Notes will be increased by an amount (the "PIK Amount") equal to the difference between interest accrued at the Accrual Rate and Interest Accrued at the Pay Rate unless the Company makes an election to pay the PIK Amount in cash. The Company has exercised its option to pay all PIK in cash. The Senior Subordinated Notes are non-amortizing, with all principal due upon maturity at December 1, 2016.

 

20
 

 

Under the Investment Agreement, the Company also issued 500,000 restricted shares of Company common stock to Caltius.

 

The terms of the Investment Agreement are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions on: (i) types and amounts of indebtedness that can be incurred; (ii) dividends that can be paid; (iii) distributions that can be made; (iv) certain asset sales, lease commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. In addition, the Investment Agreement prohibits the Company from incurring any earn-out obligations or seller notes in connection with any future acquisitions, unless explicitly subordinated to the Senior Subordinated Notes, or, in general, any indebtedness that is subordinated to the Senior Facility, unless such indebtedness is also subordinated to the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

The Investment Agreement contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, funded leverage ratio covenants, senior funded leverage ratio covenants and fixed charges ratio covenants. The first financial covenant limits our ratio of "Funded Debt" (as defined therein) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 4.25 to 1, reducing to 4.00 to 1 at March 31, 2013, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at March 31, 2014 and reducing to 3.50 to 1 at March 31, 2015. The second financial covenant limits the Company's ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from the Bank and the Senior Subordinated Notes) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 3.75 to 1, reducing to 3.50 to 1 on March 31, 2013, reducing to 3.25 to 1 on March 31, 2014 and reducing to 3.00 to 1 on March 31, 2015. The third financial covenant requires that the Company maintains a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.05 to 1.0. At March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of our covenants.

 

Under the Investment Agreement, the Company is permitted to make additional acquisitions only if certain conditions are satisfied, including the following: (i) the acquisition constitutes a business reasonably related to its then current business; (ii) no default or event of default shall exist prior to or will be caused as a result of such acquisition; (iii) Caltius has been provided with prior written notice of such acquisition, such notice to include (a) a description of the property or equity interests to be purchased, (b) the price and terms of such acquisition, (c) a certificate of a financial officer, certifying as to certain information requested in the Investment Agreement, and (d) such other information with respect thereto as is reasonably requested by Caltius; (iv) in the event of an acquisition of equity interests of a company, such company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary; (v) the target company shall have as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of such company ending on or immediately prior to the date of such acquisition actual (or pro forma to the extent approved in writing by Caltius) EBITDA and net income greater than $1, in each case for the 12 month period ending on such date; (vi) the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of the acquisition shall not exceed $7.5 million for any single transaction and $12.5 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year or such other amount approved in writing by the Caltius; provided, however, that (a) the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of equity interests issued by the Company during the nine-month period prior to the closing of such acquisition to the extent the Company notifies Caltius in writing of the use of such cash consideration from sales such equity interests in such transaction or transactions and (b) the written consent of Caltius shall be required if the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of such transaction is equal to or greater than $25.0 million; (vii) the post-closing availability under the Senior Facility is at least $4.0 million on a pro forma basis; (viii) the number of permitted acquisitions that the Company and its co-borrowers have completed in such fiscal year does not exceed three; and (ix) the Company shall have provided to Caltius certain deliverables for such acquisition.

 

The Investment Agreement contains a number of events of default, certain of which are typical for transactions of this type, including, without limitation, the following events: (i) failure to pay amounts due under the Senior Subordinated Notes; (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty contained in the Investment Agreement or related documents; (iii) failure to comply with or perform certain covenants under the Investment Agreement; (iv) any material default under any of our indebtedness or that of the co-borrowers, including unsatisfied judgments, in excess of agreed upon per item and aggregate amounts; (v) the bankruptcy, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver; (vi) the dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or termination of the Company or any of the co-borrowers; (vii) the Company or any co-borrower suspends or is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by the order of any governmental authority from conducting all or any material part of its business for more than 30 calendar days; or (viii) Bohn Crain ceases to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company does not appoint a successor acceptable to Caltius within 30 days after the date on which Bohn Crain is no longer serving as the Chief Executive Officer.

The co-borrowers under the Investment Agreement include Radiant Logistics, Inc., RGL (f/k/a Airgroup Corporation), Adcom (d/b/a Adcom Worldwide), DBA (d/b/a Distribution by Air), Radiant Transportation Services ("RTS", f/k/a Radiant Logistics Global Services, Inc.), Radiant Customs Services, Inc. ("RCS") and RLP.

 

In connection with the Caltius financing and effective as of December 1, 2011, the Company also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Caltius under which the Company agreed to provide limited registration rights covering the Caltius Shares and agreed to certain contingent redemption rights regarding the Caltius Shares. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, Caltius has the right to cause the Company to redeem the Caltius Shares at their then appraised fair market value if (subject to certain notice and cure periods): (a) the Company’s shares of common stock are no longer listed and registered, quoted or eligible for quotation, on an exchange or automated quotation system; (b) the Company has been unable to timely file all periodic reports required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (c) the Company has otherwise been unable to satisfy our registration rights requirements regarding the Caltius Shares.

 

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company agreed to provide demand registration rights covering the Caltius Shares through the end of the first anniversary of the closing in the limited instances that the Company are either no longer current in our periodic reports required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Company is otherwise unable to maintain the listing of its shares on the exchange or automated quotation system upon which they currently trade. The Company also agreed to provide "piggyback" registration rights on customary and standard terms until the earlier of: (i) such time that Caltius no longer owns any of the Caltius Shares; or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date of the Investor Rights Agreement. The Company has agreed to provide Caltius with customary rights of indemnification and to cover certain of the expenses associated with the registration of the Caltius Shares. The demand and piggyback registration rights granted are subject to standard and customary rights of deferral, underwriter cut-back, and black-out periods.

 

DBA – Notes Payable

 

In connection with the close of the acquisition of DBA, the Company issued notes payable in the amount of $4.8 million payable to the former shareholders of DBA. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.5%, and such interest is payable on a quarterly basis. The principal amount of the notes is payable annually on March 31 in three equal payments. The Company has repaid a portion of the note early in the amount of $98,725 in connection with termination of some former DBA employees who were also shareholders.

 

The notes contained an Optional Forced Conversion Right which allowed the Company in its sole discretion on or before the expiration of the third month following three month anniversary of the closing date, to elect to satisfy up to $2.4 million of the notes by the issuance of Company common stock. Accordingly, in May 2011, the Company elected to satisfy $2.4 million of the notes through the issuance of 1,071,429 shares of the Company's common stock.

 

Bank of America – Credit Facility

 

Effective December 1, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A. (the "Lender"). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lender provided the Company with a $20.0 million senior secured credit facility, including a $1.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit (collectively, the "Senior Facility"). Advances under the Senior Facility are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes. The Senior Facility had the effect of amending and fully restating our pre-existing senior credit facility with the Lender as amended from time to time, to accommodate the subordinated debt provided by Caltius, as described below. Borrowings under the Senior Facility accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at the Lender's prime rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75% to 3.00%, and can be adjusted up or down during the term of the Senior Facility based on the Company’s performance relative to certain financial covenants. The Senior Facility has a maturity date of November 30, 2013, and is collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable and other assets of its subsidiaries. Advances under the Senior Facility of up to 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 60% of eligible foreign accounts receivable are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes.

 

The terms of the Senior Facility are subject to certain financial and operational covenants which may limit the amount otherwise available under the Senior Facility. The first financial covenant limits the Company's ratio of "Funded Debt" (as defined therein) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 4.00 to 1, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at December 31, 2012, reducing to 3.5 to 1 at December 31, 2013, and reducing to 3.25 to 1 at December 31, 2014. The second financial covenant limits the Company's ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from the Bank) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 2.50 to 1 and reducing to 2.25 to 1 on December 31, 2012. The third financial covenant requires the Company maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0. The fourth financial covenant is a minimum profitability standard which requires the Company not to incur a net loss before taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles and extraordinary items in any two consecutive quarterly accounting periods.

 

22
 

 

Under the terms of the Senior Facility, the Company is permitted to make additional acquisitions without the consent of the Lender, only if certain conditions are satisfied. The conditions imposed by the Senior Facility include the following: (i) the absence of an event of default under the Senior Facility; (ii) the company to be acquired must be in the transportation and logistics industry; (iii) the purchase price to be paid must be consistent with the Company’s historical business and acquisition model; (iv) after giving effect for the funding of the acquisition, the Company must have undrawn availability of at least $4.0 million under the Senior Facility; (v) the Lender must be reasonably satisfied with projected financial statements the Company provides covering a twelve month period following the acquisition; (vi) the acquisition documents must be provided to the Lender and must be consistent with the description of the transaction provided to the Lender; and (vii) the number of permitted acquisitions is limited to three per fiscal year and the aggregate cash consideration payable at closing shall not exceed $7.5 million for any single transaction and $12.5 million in the aggregate, provided however the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of newly issued equity interests of the Company during the nine month period prior to the closing of any such transaction and the aggregate consideration at closing is not more than $25.0 million. In the event the Company is not able to satisfy the conditions of the Senior Facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, the Company must either forego the acquisition, obtain the Lender's consent, or retire the Senior Facility.   

 

The co-borrowers of the Senior Facility include Radiant Logistics, Inc., RGL (f/k/a Airgroup Corporation), Adcom (d/b/a Adcom Worldwide), DBA (d/b/a Distribution by Air), RTS (f/k/a Radiant Logistics Global Services, Inc.), RCS and RLP. As a co-borrower under the Senior Facility, the accounts receivable of RLP are eligible for inclusion within the overall borrowing base of the Company and all borrowers will be responsible for repayment of the debt associated with advances under the Senior Facility, including those advanced to RLP. At March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had $7,579,106 in advances under the Senior Facility and $3,912,575 in outstanding payments which had not yet been processed by the bank.

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future operating performance, events, trends and plans. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained herein, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues and costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "believes" or the negative thereof or any variation thereon or similar terminology or expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. While it is impossible to identify all of the factors that may cause our actual operating performance, events, trends or plans to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking statements, we have assumed, for the purposes of our forward-looking statements, that, as it pertains to our recent acquisitions of Isla International, Ltd., DBA and Brunswicks Logistics, such acquired businesses will be able to, among others: (i) maintain an operating platform that will enable them to maintain and expand their future operations and service their existing customer base in a manner consistent with their past practices; (ii) maintain the core of key personnel that have been material to their ongoing operations and customer services; (iii) maintain and grow their revenues and operating margins in a manner consistent with the trends demonstrated by their most recent results of operations; and (iv) integrate their operations with our existing operations to realize expected financial and operational cost and revenue synergies. As it pertains to such recent acquisitions, important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations, include but are not limited to, among others: (i) any negative discrepancies between the unaudited results of operations of the acquired businesses provided to us in the acquisition process, upon which we have relied, and future audited results of operations for the same period; (ii) any disruption in the acquired management teams; (iii) any material reduction in the level of business derived from the historic customers and/or the continued customer relationships provided by the acquired businesses; (iv) any adverse effect the acquisition could have on their existing customers, agents and employees; (v) any adverse effect the acquisitions could have on our historic and existing network of exclusive agency locations; (vi) any material adverse change in the composition of customers of the acquired businesses; (vii) any unexpected liabilities that we could be exposed to by virtue of the acquisitions; and (viii) any claims that may arise in the future under the agreements underlying the acquisitions. Our actual operating performance, events, trends or plans may also differ materially from those set forth in our forward-looking statements based upon the inherent risks associated with our ability to: (i) use our current infrastructure as a "platform" upon which we can build a profitable global transportation and supply chain management company; (ii) retain and build upon the relationships we have with our exclusive agency offices; (iii) continue the development of our back office infrastructure and transportation and accounting systems in a manner sufficient to service our expanding revenues and network of operating locations; (iv) maintain and enhance the future operations of our company owned operating locations; (v) continue growing our business and maintain historical or increased gross profit margins; (vi) locate suitable acquisition opportunities; (vii) secure the financing necessary to complete any acquisition opportunities we locate; (viii) assess and respond to competitive practices in the industries in which we compete; (ix) mitigate, to the best extent possible, our dependence on current management and certain of our larger exclusive agency locations; (x) assess and respond to the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulations affecting the transportation industry in general and our operations in particular; and (xi) assess and respond to such other factors which may be identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings and other public announcements including those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part 1 Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, as they speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements.

  

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this report.

 

Overview

 

We are a non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding and fulfillment services through a network of company-owned and exclusive agent offices across North America operating under the Airgroup, Adcom, DBA and Radiant brands. We service a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers and international agents positioned strategically around the world. Our corporate office is located in Bellevue, Washington.

 

We have adopted a growth strategy focused on organic and acquisitive growth as we believe that building the size, scope and scale of our operating platform and service offerings will provide competitive advantages designed to attract and retain future customers and continue to expand our network of independent agency stations. Our organic growth efforts continue to focus on the build-out of our network of exclusive agency offices, enhancing our back-office infrastructure and transportation and accounting systems, and strengthening and retaining existing, and expanding new customer relationships. Successful implementation of our organic growth strategy depends on our ability to develop new agency locations and successfully integrate completed acquisitions.

 

As we continue to add to our network of exclusive agent locations, we are executing an acquisition strategy to develop additional growth opportunities. We have adopted an acquisition strategy in order to, among others, secure greater efficiencies in our ability to acquire purchased transportation, as well as to gain enhanced yield through revenue and cost synergies. This in turn provides a greater value proposition to the exclusive agents on which we depend. The success or our acquisition strategy depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to: (i) identify and acquire target businesses that fit within our acquisition criteria; (ii) continue to secure adequate funding to finance identified acquisition opportunities; (iii) efficiently integrate the businesses of the companies acquired; (iv) generate the anticipated economies of scale from the integration; and (v) maintain the historic sales growth of the acquired businesses in order to generate organic growth from the acquired business. There are a variety of risks associated with our ability to achieve our strategic objectives, including the ability to acquire and profitably manage additional businesses and the intense competition in the industry for customers and for acquisition candidates.

We will continue to search for targets that fit within our acquisition criteria. Our ability to continue to secure adequate funding to finance acquisition opportunities will depend upon, among other things, our ability to sell debt or equity securities, continued cooperation by our current lenders and the development of an active trading market for our securities. Although we can make no assurance as to our long term access to debt or equity securities or our ability to develop an active trading market, we were successful in securing $10.0 million in senior subordinated debt in December 2011. The Company’s universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, declared effective May 11, 2012, provides the Company flexibility to raise capital through the sale of registered debt or equity securities to the investing public. We have completed five material acquisitions since our initial acquisition of Airgroup in January of 2006. In November 2007, we acquired certain assets of the Automotive Services Group. in Detroit, Michigan to service the automotive industry. In September 2008, we acquired Adcom Express, Inc. d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), adding an additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting our overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April 2011, we acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc. ("DBA"), which operates under the trade name "Distribution by Air", adding two company owned logistics stations located in Somerset, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California and 23 agency officers across North America. In December 2011 we acquired Isla International Ltd. ("Isla") which added a company-owned logistics station located in Laredo, Texas serving as the Company's gateway to the Mexico markets. Isla provides us with bilingual expertise in both north and south bound cross-border transportation and logistics services to a diversified account base including manufacturers in the automotive, appliance, electronics and consumer packaged goods industries from its strategically-aligned location in Laredo, Texas. In February 2012, we acquired Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics, Inc. (“ALBS”) which added a company-owned logistics station located in New York-JFK, a strategic location for domestic and international logistics services.

 

Subsequent to our acquisition of Adcom, we changed the name of Airgroup Corporation to Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. ("RGL") to better position our centralized back-office operations to service the Airgroup, Adcom, DBA and Radiant brands. RGL, through the Airgroup, Adcom, DBA and Radiant brands, has a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers and international agents positioned strategically around the world. We have built a global transportation and supply chain management company offering our customers domestic and international freight forwarding services and other value-added supply chain management services, including order fulfillment, inventory management, and warehousing.

 

Performance Metrics

 

Our principal source of income is derived from freight forwarding services. As a freight forwarder, we arrange for the shipment of our customers’ freight from point of origin to point of destination. Generally, we quote our customers a turnkey cost for the movement of their freight. Our price quote will often depend upon the customer’s time-definite needs (first day through fifth day delivery), special handling needs (heavy equipment, delicate items, environmentally sensitive goods, electronic components, etc.), and the means of transport (motor carrier, air, ocean or rail). In turn, we assume the responsibility for arranging and paying for the underlying means of transportation.

 

Our transportation revenue represents the total dollar value of services we sell to our customers. Our cost of transportation includes direct costs of transportation, including motor carrier, air, ocean and rail services. We act principally as the service provider to add value in the execution and procurement of these services to our customers. Our net transportation revenue (gross transportation revenue less the direct cost of transportation) is the primary indicator of our ability to source, add value and resell services provided by third parties, and is considered by management to be a key performance measure. In addition, management believes measuring our operating costs as a function of net transportation revenue provides a useful metric, as our ability to control costs as a function of net transportation revenue directly impacts operating earnings.

Our operating results will be affected as acquisitions occur. Since all acquisitions are made using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, our financial statements will only include the results of operations and cash flows of acquired companies for periods subsequent to the date of acquisition.

 

Our GAAP-based net income (loss) will be affected by non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and other intangible assets attributable to completed acquisitions. Under applicable accounting standards, purchasers are required to allocate the total consideration in a business combination to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the time of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is to be allocated to goodwill, which is tested at least annually for impairment. Applicable accounting standards require that we separately account for and value certain identifiable intangible assets based on the unique facts and circumstances of each acquisition. As a result of our acquisition strategy, our net income (loss) will include material non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and other intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Although these charges may increase as we complete more acquisitions, we believe we will be growing the value of our intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships). Thus, we believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a useful financial measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of these non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business.

 

Further, the financial covenants of our credit facility are measured against adjusted EBITDA which excludes costs related to share-based compensation expense, change in contingent consideration, extraordinary items and other non-cash charges.

 

Our compliance with the financial covenants of our borrowing arrangements is particularly important given the materiality of these facilities to our day-to-day operations and overall acquisition strategy. Our debt capacity, subject to the requisite collateral at an advance rate of 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 60% of eligible foreign receivables, is limited to a multiple of our consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) as measured on a rolling four quarter basis. If we fail to comply with these covenants and are unable to secure a waiver or other relief, our financial condition would be materiality weakened and our ability to fund day-to-day operations would be materially and adversely affected. Accordingly, we intend to employ EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as management tools to measure our historical financial performance and as a benchmark for future financial flexibility.

 

Our operating results are also subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. The impact of seasonality on our business will depend on numerous factors, including the markets in which we operate, holiday seasons, consumer demand and economic conditions. Since our revenue is largely derived from customers whose shipments are dependent upon consumer demand and just-in-time production schedules, the timing of our revenue is often beyond our control. Factors such as shifting demand for retail goods and/or manufacturing production delays could unexpectedly affect the timing of our revenue. As we increase the scale of our operations, seasonal trends in one area of our business may be offset to an extent by opposite trends in another area. We cannot accurately predict the timing of these factors, nor can we accurately estimate the impact of any particular factor, and thus we can give no assurance any historical seasonal patterns will continue in future periods.

 

Results of Operations

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The results of operations discussion that appears below has been presented utilizing a combination of historical and, where relevant, pro forma information to include the effects on our consolidated financial statements of our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS. The pro forma results are developed to reflect a consolidation of the historical results of operations of the Company and adjusted to include the historical results of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, as if we had acquired all of them as of July 1, 2010.

 

The pro forma financial data are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had these acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or which might be attained in the future.

Three months ended March 31, 2012 (actual and unaudited) and March 31, 2011 (actual and unaudited)

 

We generated transportation revenue of $70.7 million and $42.0 million and net transportation revenue of $20.3 million and $13.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net loss was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, and net income was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

We had adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million and $1.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of interest and taxes and excludes the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on current assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to property, plant and equipment, and all amortization charges, including amortization of leasehold improvements and other intangible assets. We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude changes in contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, extraordinary items, costs related to share-based compensation expense, and other non-cash charges consistent with the financial covenants of our credit facility. As explained above, we believe that EBITDA is useful to us and to our investors in evaluating and measuring our financial performance. While management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G (in thousands), for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

 

   Three months ended March 31,   Change

The following table summarizes transportation revenue, cost of transportation and net transportation revenue (in thousands) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (actual and unaudited):

 

    Three months ended March 31,   Change  
    2012   2011   Amount   Percent  
                   
Transportation revenue   $ 70,749   $ 42,030   $ 28,719     68.3 %
Cost of transportation     50,432     29,005     21,427     73.9 %
                           
Net transportation revenue   $ 20,317   $ 13,025   $ 7,292     56.0 %
Net transportation margins     28.7 %   31.0 %            

 

 

Transportation revenue was $70.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 68.3% over transportation revenue of $42.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Domestic transportation revenue increased by 98.9% to $45.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. International transportation revenue increased by 32.2% to $25.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from $19.3 million for the comparable prior year period. These increases in revenue were due principally to incremental revenues attributed to our acquisition of DBA, Isla, and ALBS.

Cost of transportation increased 73.9% to $50.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $29.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is due to increased volume as reflected in our increased transportation revenues.

 

Net transportation margins decreased to 28.7% of transportation revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 31.0% of transportation revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The margin reduction is attributable to differing product mixes of shipments throughout the quarter and the inclusion of our recently acquired operations included in the current quarter which are providing services that typically yield lower margins than the comparable prior year period.

 

The following table compares certain condensed consolidated statement of operations data as a percentage of our net transportation revenue (in thousands) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (actual and unaudited):

Agent commissions were $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 38.6% from $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of DBA agent-based stations in April 2011. Agent commissions as a percentage of net transportation revenue decreased to 60.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from 67.9% for the comparable prior year period as a result of our acquisitions of DBA, ISLA, and ALBS, which added company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK and are not paid commissions as these are company owned locations.

 

Personnel costs were $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 112.7% from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Personnel costs as a percentage of net transportation revenue increased to 16.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from 12.1% for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, which added the personnel costs associated with the new company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs were $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 174.8% from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. As a percentage of net transportation revenue, selling, general and administrative costs increased to 14.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from 8.5% for the comparable prior year period. These higher costs were driven, in part, by the incremental facilities costs of our new Company-owned locations which were as expected, as well as by the non-recurring transaction expenses of approximately $141,000 incurred in connection with our recent acquisitions and approximately $287,000 which we incurred in connection with our up-listing to the NYSE Amex and the on-going dispute with the former DBA shareholders and other legal matters.

Transition costs associated with the DBA acquisition were $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Transition costs consist of personnel costs related to employees whose positions will be eliminated with the integration of DBA into Radiant. There were no such costs during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of net transportation revenue, non-recurring transition costs were 1.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Depreciation and amortization costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012, were $1.0 million, an increase of 307.1% from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net transportation revenue increased to 5.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, from 1.9% for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to amortization costs associated with our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS.

 

Income from operations was $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a 76.0% decrease of $0.9 million as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Other expense was ($0.4) million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Our net loss was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, reflecting a 109.7% decrease in results of $0.8 million as compared to net income of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, driven principally by the increased amortization of intangibles resulting from our recent acquisition activities and from the non-recurring items identified below. Our net loss for the current quarter also reflected a decrease in results of operations as compared to the two most recent quarters ended September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011, as these prior periods were not burdened by these non-cash and non-recurring charges. Although we do not believe the deterioration in GAAP-based earnings is reflective of the true earnings power of the business, our near-term earnings have and will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of these incremental non-cash charges and other non-recurring costs including, transition costs related to our recent DBA acquisition, lost revenue experienced by our Los Angeles DBA office, and the legal expenses incurred in connection with the legal proceedings  relating to the DBA acquisition, although it is our expectation that some or all of these amounts may be recoverable in our claims brought against the DBA shareholders.

 

Nine months ended March 31, 2012 (actual and unaudited) and March 31, 2011 (actual and unaudited)

 

We generated transportation revenue of $215.2 million and $132.9 million and net transportation revenue of $61.8 million and $41.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Net income was $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to net income of $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

 

We had adjusted EBITDA of $5.2 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of interest and taxes and excludes the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on current assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to property, plant and equipment, and all amortization charges, including amortization of leasehold improvements and other intangible assets. We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude changes in contingent consideration, expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, extraordinary items, costs related to share-based compensation expense, and other non-cash charges consistent with the financial covenants of our credit facility. As explained above, we believe that EBITDA is useful to us and to our investors in evaluating and measuring our financial performance. While management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements. Set forth below is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Transportation revenue was $215.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 61.9% over transportation revenue of $132.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Domestic transportation revenue increased by 80.0% to $130.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from $72.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. International transportation revenue increased by 40.2% to $84.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from $60.3 million for the comparable prior year period. These increases in revenue are due principally to incremental revenues attributed to our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS.

 

Cost of transportation increased 67.5% to $153.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $91.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, as a result of increased volume as reflected in our increased transportation revenues.

 

Net transportation margins decreased to 28.7% of transportation revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 31.1% of transportation revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The margin reduction is attributable to differing product mixes of shipments throughout the quarter and the inclusion of our recently acquired operations included in the current 9 month period which are providing services that typically yield lower margins than the comparable prior year period.

 

The following table compares certain condensed consolidated statement of operations data as a percentage of our net transportation revenue (in thousands) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (actual and unaudited):

Agent commissions were $38.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 36.4% from $28.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase is primarily attributable to the addition of DBA agent-based stations in April 2011. Agent commissions as a percentage of net transportation revenue decreased to 62.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from 69.0% for the comparable prior year period. This decrease is a result of our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, which added company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK, where commissions are not payable.

 

Personnel costs were $9.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 98.6% from $4.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Personnel costs as a percentage of net transportation revenue increased to 15.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from 11.4% for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily attributable to our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS, which added the personnel costs associated with the new company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and New York-JFK.

 

Selling, general and administrative costs were $8.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 145.7% from $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Selling, general and administrative costs as a percentage of net transportation revenue increased to 13.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from 8.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to our acquisitions of DBA and Isla which added costs associated with the new company-owned operations in Newark, Los Angeles, Laredo, and ALBS, combined with non-recurring legal expenses incurred in connection with the Isla and ALBS transactions.

 

Transition costs associated with the DBA acquisition were $0.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. Transition costs consist of personnel costs related to employees whose positions will be eliminated with the integration of DBA into Radiant. There were no such costs during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of net transportation revenue, non-recurring transition costs were 1.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Depreciation and amortization costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, were $2.0 million, an increase of 123.2% from $0.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net transportation revenue increased to 3.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, from 2.2% for the comparable prior year period. The increase is primarily due to amortization costs associated with our acquisitions of DBA, Isla, and ALBS.

 

Income from operations was $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, a 35.2% decrease of $1.4 million as compared to income from operations of $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Other expense was $0.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $0.1 million (including the loss on litigation settlement) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Net income was $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, a 56.0% decrease of $1.3 million as compared to net income of $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, driven principally by the increased amortization of intangibles resulting from our recent acquisition activities and from the non-recurring items identified below. Although we do not believe the deterioration in GAAP-based earnings is reflective of the true earnings power of the business, our near-term earnings have and will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of these incremental non-cash charges and other non-recurring costs including, transition costs related to our recent DBA acquisition, lost revenue experienced by our Los Angeles DBA office, and the legal expenses incurred in connection with the legal proceedings  relating to the DBA acquisition, although it is our expectation that some or all of these amounts may be recoverable in our claims brought against the DBA shareholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $3.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The change was principally driven by growth in transportation revenues as well as decreases in prepaid services, increases in accounts payable and accrued transportation costs partially offset by increases in outstanding receivables and income tax deposit.

Acquisitions

 

Below are descriptions of material acquisitions we have made since 2008, including a breakdown of consideration paid at closing and future potential earn-out payments. We define "material acquisitions" as those with aggregate potential consideration of $1.0 million or more.

 

Adcom Express

 

Effective September 1, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Adcom Express, Inc. The transaction was valued at up to $11.05 million, consisting of: (i) $4.75 million in cash paid at the closing; (ii) $0.25 million in cash payable shortly after the closing, subject to adjustment, based upon the working capital of Adcom as of August 31, 2008; (iii) up to $2.8 million in four "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" of up to $0.7 million each, covering the four year earn-out period through 2012, based upon Adcom achieving certain levels of "Gross Profit Contribution" (as defined in the stock purchase agreement), payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of our common stock (valued at delivery date); (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" of up to a maximum of $2.0 million, equal to 20% of the amount by which the Adcom cumulative Gross Profit Contribution exceeds $16.56 million during the four year earn-out period; and (v) an "Integration Payment" of $1.25 million, payable (a) on the earlier of the date certain integration targets are achieved or 18 months after the closing, and (b) payable 50% in cash and 50% in our shares of our common stock (valued at delivery date).

 

As of March 31, 2012, we owe the former shareholder of Adcom Express, Inc. $33,708 in cash.

 

Assuming minimum targeted earnings levels are achieved, the following table summarizes our contingent base earn-out payments related to the acquisition of Adcom, for the fiscal years indicated based on achieving Gross Profit Contributions (in thousands):

 

Estimated payment anticipated for fiscal year(1):     2013
Earn-out period:     7/1/2011 – 6/30/2012
Earn-out payments:      
Cash     $ 350
Equity       350
    Total potential earn-out payments     $ 700
         
Total gross margin targets     $ 4,320

 

 

(1)Earn-out payments are paid October 1 following each fiscal year end in a combination of cash and common stock.

 

No Tier II payments have been paid and management does not believe Tier II payments will be earned for the year ending June 30, 2012.

 

Distribution By Air

 

On April 6, 2011, we closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of DBA in a transaction valued at $12.0 million. The shares of DBA were acquired via a merger transaction pursuant to which DBA was merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company.  

 

The $12.0 million purchase price consisted of $5.4 million paid in cash at closing, the delivery of $4.8 million in Company notes (payable in principal installments of $1.6 million on the anniversary date over the next three years plus interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum), and $1.8 million payable in cash upon the achievement of certain integration milestones to be paid within 180 days after the milestones have been achieved, or no later than 18 months following the closing.  A conversion feature was included in the notes, and in May 2011, we elected to satisfy $2.4 million of the Company notes through the issuance of 1,071,429 shares of our common stock.  The remaining Company notes may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a "Corporate Transaction" (as defined in the Agreement), which includes a future sale of DBA or the Company or certain changes in corporate control. The cash component of the transaction was financed through a combination of our existing funds and funds available under our revolving credit facility.

 

In January 2012, we asserted certain claims for indemnification against the former shareholders of DBA, relating to actions taken by certain former DBA shareholders following the transaction that we believe constitute breaches under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, and for which we have asserted set-off rights against certain future payments due to the former DBA shareholders under the Agreement and Plan of Merger. In a related matter, we have also commenced a legal action against an affiliate of a former DBA shareholder asserting damages and seeking injunctive relief relating to customer solicitations that we believe constitute a breach of certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations owed to the Company. Further reference is made to Item 1A, Part II of this Report, Risk Factors-DBA Claims Notice and Related Matters.

In connection with the acquisition of DBA, we entered into a sixth modification to amend our secured credit facility (the "Facility") with Bank of America N.A. ("BofA"), extending the maturity to March 31, 2013, which was subsequently extended to November 30, 2013. The Facility is in the principal amount of $20 million (including availability for letters of credit), and provides for advances of up to 80% of our eligible accounts receivable. Advances under the facility are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes.

 

Isla International

 

On December 1, 2011, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, RGL, we closed on an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 15, 2011 (the "APA") to acquire the business of Laredo, Texas based Isla International, Ltd. ("Isla"). ISLA is a privately-held company providing a full range of cross-border transportation and logistics services between the United States and Mexico. Pursuant to the APA, we acquired the historic operations, employee base, operating methods and systems, customer relationships and goodwill of Isla. We did not, however, acquire any accounts receivable and we did not assume accounts payable and other certain obligations.

 

The transaction is valued at up to approximately $15.0 million, consisting of: (i) cash of $7,656,582 paid at closing, (ii) $1.325 million payable by issuing 552,333 shares of our restricted stock on the three-month anniversary of the closing (valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares); (iii) up to $3.975 million in aggregate "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing, based upon the acquired Isla business unit generating a "Modified Gross Profit Contribution" (as defined within the Asset Purchase Agreement) of $6,927,644 for each twelve month earn-out period following closing; and (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" after the fourth anniversary of the closing, equal to 20% of the amount by which the aggregate "Modified Gross Profit Contribution" of the acquired Isla business unit during the four-year earn-out period exceeds $27,710,576, with such payment not to exceed $2.0 million.  The various Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments and the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment shall be made in a combination of cash and our common stock, as we may, at our sole option (and provided we remain current in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and maintain the listing of our common shares on an exchange or automated quotation system), elect to satisfy up to 25% of each of the earn-out payments through the issuance of our common stock valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares.  During the earn-out period, RGL has agreed to a number of operational covenants regarding the post-closing operation of the acquired Isla business unit, including, among others, affirmative covenants: (i) to account for and operate the acquired Isla International business as a separate profit center; and (ii) to permit the former owner and President of Isla to operate the acquired Isla business unit in the manner historically operated; and negative covenants which prohibit: (i) the sale of the assets of the Isla business unit; and (ii) terminating, without cause, the employment of certain key operating personnel of the Isla business unit.

  

The transaction was financed through the net proceeds made available through the issuance of $10.0 million in subordinated debt. As well, in connection with the transaction, we entered into an amended and restated revolving credit facility (the "Senior Facility") with our senior lender, BofA, extending the maturity to November 30, 2013.

 

Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a/ ALBS Logistics

 

On February 27, 2012, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, RGL, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of New York based Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics Company ("ALBS"), a privately-held company founded in 1997. At the time of the acquisition, ALBS provided a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services across North America to a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers from its strategic international gateway location at New York-JFK airport. The transaction was structured as an asset purchase and valued at up to approximately $7.275 million, consisting of: (i) cash of $2,655,000 paid at closing, (ii) $295,000 payable in shares of our restricted stock on the three-month anniversary of the closing (valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares); (iii) up to $3.325 million in aggregate "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing; and (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" after the fourth anniversary of the closing, with such payment not to exceed $1.0 million.

 

The transaction was financed with proceeds from the credit facility with Bank of America, N.A.

In December 2011, in connection with the acquisition of Isla, the Senior Facility, including a $1.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit, was extended to a maturity date of November 30, 2013. The Senior Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of us and our subsidiaries. Advances under the Senior Facility are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes, including the repurchase of our stock. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at our option, at the bank’s prime rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75% to 3.00%, and can be adjusted up or down during the term of the Senior Facility based on the our performance relative to certain financial covenants. The Senior Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of us and our subsidiaries, and provides for advances of up to 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and for advances of up to 60% of eligible foreign accounts receivable.

 

The terms of the Senior Facility are subject to certain financial and operational covenants which may limit the amount otherwise available under the Senior Facility. The first financial covenant limits our ratio of "Funded Debt" (as defined therein) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 4.00 to 1, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at December 31, 2012, reducing to 3.5 to 1 at December 31, 2013, and reducing to 3.25 to 1 at December 31, 2014. The second financial covenant limits our ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from the Bank) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 2.50 to 1 and reducing to 2.25 to 1 on December 31, 2012. The third financial covenant requires us to maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0. The fourth financial covenant is a minimum profitability standard which requires us not to incur a net loss before taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles and extraordinary items in any two consecutive quarterly accounting periods. On May 15, 2012, the Company entered into a First Loan Modification Agreement that, among other things, amends the definition of EBITDA to provide that changes in contingent consideration will adjust EBITDA as defined in the Agreement. The description of the First Loan Modification to our Senior Facility is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Under the terms of the Senior Facility, we are permitted to make additional acquisitions without the consent of BofA only if certain conditions are satisfied. The conditions imposed by the Senior Facility include the following: (i) the absence of an event of default under the Senior Facility; (ii) the company to be acquired must be in the transportation and logistics industry; (iii) the purchase price to be paid must be consistent with the our historical business and acquisition model; (iv) after giving effect for the funding of the acquisition, we must have undrawn availability of at least $4.0 million under the Senior Facility; (v) BofA must be reasonably satisfied with projected financial statements we provide covering a twelve month period following the acquisition; (vi) the acquisition documents must be provided to the Lender and must be consistent with the description of the transaction provided to BofA; and (vii) the number of permitted acquisitions is limited to three per fiscal year and the aggregate cash consideration payable at closing shall not exceed $7.5 million for any single transaction and $12.5 million in the aggregate, provided however, that the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of our newly issued equity interests during the nine month period prior to the closing of any such transaction and the aggregate consideration at closing is not more than $25.0 million. In the event we are unable to satisfy the conditions of the Senior Facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, we must either forego the acquisition, obtain the BofA's consent, or retire the Senior Facility.

 

The co-borrowers of the Senior Facility include us, RGL, Adcom, DBA, Radiant Transportation Services ("RTS"), Radiant Container Services and RLP. RLP has been certified as a minority business enterprise, and focuses on corporate and government accounts with diversity initiatives. As a co-borrower under the Senior Facility, the accounts receivable of RLP are eligible for inclusion within our overall borrowing base and all borrowers will be responsible for repayment of the debt associated with advances under the Senior Facility, including those advanced to RLP. At March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of our covenants.

 

Mezzanine Financing

 

In connection with our acquisition of Isla, effective as of December 1, 2011, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Caltius Partners IV, LP and Caltius Partners Executive IV, LP (collectively, "Caltius"). Under the Investment Agreement, Caltius provided us with $10.0 million evidenced by the issuance of senior subordinated notes (the "Senior Subordinated Notes"), the net proceeds of which were primarily used to finance the cash payments due at closing of the Isla transaction. The Senior Subordinated Notes accrue interest at the rate of 13.5% per annum (the "Accrual Rate"), and must be paid currently in cash on a quarterly basis at a rate of 11.75% per annum (the "Pay Rate"). The outstanding principal balance of the Senior Subordinated Notes will be increased by an amount (the "PIK Amount") equal to the difference between interest accrued at the Accrual Rate and Interest Accrued at the Pay Rate unless the Company makes an election to pay the PIK Amount in cash. The Senior Subordinated Notes are non-amortizing, with all principal due upon maturity at December 1, 2016.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured, and pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement dated December 1, 2011 among BofA, Caltius, us and the co-borrowers under the Investment Agreement (the "Subordination Agreement"), are subordinated to the Senior Facility. The Subordination Agreement provides that, in general, we and the co-borrowers may not make, and Caltius may not receive, any payment with respect to the Senior Subordinated Notes or other subordinated debt if, at the time of such payment: (i) a payment default exists under the Senior Facility and such default has not been cured or waived; or (ii) we, our co-borrowers and Caltius shall have received a notice from BofA stating that a financial covenant default exists under the Senior Facility and the sum of the unrestricted cash of us and our co-borrowers and the aggregate availability (without regard to any default) under the Senior Facility is less than $5.0 million. The Subordination Agreement also places restrictions on the ability of us and our co-borrowers to prepay the Senior Subordinated Notes and amend any documents associated with the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

The Senior Subordinated Notes may not be prepaid during the first two years, except in conjunction with a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of us and our co-borrowers taken as a whole, or a merger or consolidation of us or any of our co-borrowers and with a prepayment premium of 5% of any principal repaid during the first two years. During the third year of the financing, the Senior Subordinated Notes may be prepaid with a prepayment premium of 2% of any principal repaid during the third year. Thereafter, the Senior Subordinated Notes may be prepaid without penalty.

 

Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Investment Agreement), the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes have the right (but not the obligation) to require us to (i) prepay all or any portion of the Senior Subordinated Notes, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all applicable repayment charges, and (ii) pay in full all of the other obligations then owed to such holders.

 

Under the Investment Agreement, we also issued 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Caltius. We agreed to issue an additional 100,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Caltius (all shares issued to Caltius are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the "Caltius Shares") if within the first twelve months of the financing, our shares are not traded on the New York Stock Exchange Amex Equities ("AMEX"). The Company agreed to provide certain limited registration rights covering the Caltius Shares as more fully described below. Also, under the Investment Agreement, we agreed to provide Caltius with the right to designate one representative to attend and observe meetings of our Board of Directors, and to maintain key man life insurance covering our CEO, Bohn Crain.

 

The terms of the Investment Agreement are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions on: (i) types and amounts of indebtedness that can be incurred; (ii) dividends that can be paid; (iii) distributions that can be made; (iv) certain asset sales, lease commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. In addition, the Investment Agreement prohibits us from incurring any earn-out obligations or seller notes in connection with any future acquisitions, unless explicitly subordinated to the Senior Subordinated Notes, or, in general, any indebtedness that is subordinated to the Senior Facility, unless such indebtedness is also subordinated to the Senior Subordinated Notes.

 

The Investment Agreement contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, funded leverage ratio covenants, senior funded leverage ratio covenants and fixed charges ratio covenants. The first financial covenant limits our ratio of "Funded Debt" (as defined therein) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 4.25 to 1, reducing to 4.00 to 1 at March 31, 2013, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at March 31, 2014 and reducing to 3.50 to 1 at March 31, 2015. The second financial covenant limits our ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from the Bank and the Senior Subordinated Notes) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 3.75 to 1, reducing to 3.50 to 1 on March 31, 2013, reducing to 3.25 to 1 on March 31, 2014 and reducing to 3.00 to 1 on March 31, 2015. The third financial covenant requires that we maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.05 to 1.0. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all covenants.

 

Under the Investment Agreement, we are permitted to make additional acquisitions only if certain conditions are satisfied, including the following: (i) the acquisition constitutes a business reasonably related to our then current business; (ii) no default or event of default shall exist prior to or will be caused as a result of such acquisition; (iii) Caltius has been provided with prior written notice of such acquisition, such notice to include (a) a description of the property or equity interests to be purchased, (b) the price and terms of such acquisition, (c) a certificate of a financial officer, certifying as to certain information requested in the Investment Agreement, and (d) such other information with respect thereto as is reasonably requested by Caltius; (iv) in the event of an acquisition of equity interests of a company, such company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary; (v) the target company shall have as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of such company ending on or immediately prior to the date of such acquisition actual (or pro forma to the extent approved in writing by Caltius) EBITDA and net income greater than $1, in each case for the 12 month period ending on such date; (vi) the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of the acquisition shall not exceed $7.5 million for any single transaction and $12.5 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year or such other amount approved in writing by the Caltius; provided, however, that (a) the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of equity interests issued by us during the nine-month period prior to the closing of such acquisition to the extent we notify Caltius in writing of the use of such cash consideration from sales of such equity interests in such transaction or transactions and (b) the written consent of Caltius shall be required if the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of such transaction is equal to or greater than $25.0 million; (vii) the post-closing availability under the Senior Facility is at least $4.0 million on a pro forma basis; (viii) the number of permitted acquisitions that we and our co-borrowers have completed in such fiscal year does not exceed three; and (ix) we shall have provided to Caltius certain deliverables for such acquisition. 

 

The Investment Agreement contains a number of events of default, certain of which are typical for transactions of this type, including, without limitation, the following events: (i) failure to pay amounts due under the Senior Subordinated Notes; (ii) a breach of any representation or warranty contained in the Investment Agreement or related documents; (iii) failure to comply with or perform certain covenants under the Investment Agreement; (iv) any material default under any of our indebtedness or that of the co-borrowers, including unsatisfied judgments, in excess of agreed upon per item and aggregate amounts; (v) the bankruptcy, insolvency or the appointment of a receiver; (vi) the dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or termination of the Company or any of the co-borrowers; (vii) the Company or any co-borrower suspends or is enjoined, restrained or in any way prevented by the order of any governmental authority from conducting all or any material part of its business for more than 30 calendar days; or (viii) Bohn Crain ceases to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Company does not appoint a successor acceptable to Caltius within 30 days after the date on which Bohn Crain is no longer serving as the Chief Executive Officer.

The co-borrowers under the Investment Agreement include us, RGL, Adcom, DBA, RTS, Radiant Customs Services, Inc. ("RCS") and RLP.

 

In connection with the Caltius financing and effective as of December 1, 2011, we also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Caltius under which we agreed to provide limited registration rights covering the Caltius Shares and agreed to certain contingent redemption rights regarding the Caltius Shares. Under the Investor Rights Agreement, Caltius has the right to cause us to redeem the Caltius Shares at their then appraised fair market value if (subject to certain notice and cure periods): (a) our shares of common stock are no longer listed and registered, quoted or eligible for quotation, on an exchange or automated quotation system; (b) we have been unable to timely file all periodic reports required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); and (c) we have otherwise been unable to satisfy our registration rights requirements regarding the Caltius Shares.

 

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, we agreed to provide demand registration rights covering the Caltius Shares through the end of the first anniversary of the closing in the limited instances that we are either no longer current in our periodic reports required by the Exchange Act, or we are otherwise unable to maintain the listing of our shares on the exchange or automated quotation system upon which they currently trade. We also agreed to provide "piggyback" registration rights on customary and standard terms until the earlier of: (i) such time that Caltius no longer owns any of the Caltius Shares; or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date of the Investor Rights Agreement. We have agreed to provide Caltius with customary rights of indemnification and to cover certain of the expenses associated with the registration of the Caltius Shares. The demand and piggyback registration rights granted are subject to standard and customary rights of deferral, underwriter cut-back, and black-out periods.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2012, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. Those judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience with regard to past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management’s current judgments. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates which affect our financial statements, the areas of particular significance include the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets (including acquired intangibles), recoverability of goodwill, contingent consideration, and revenue recognition.  

  

We perform an annual impairment test for goodwill. The first step of the impairment test requires that we determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and we must perform a second more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. We typically perform our annual impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate, an impairment may have occurred before that time. 

 

Acquired intangibles consist of customer related intangibles and covenants not to compete ("CNTC") agreements arising from our acquisitions. Customer related intangibles will be amortized using accelerated methods over approximately 5 years and CNTC agreements will be amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreement.

 

We review long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

 

As a non-asset based carrier, we do not own transportation assets. We generate the major portion of our air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and reselling those services to our customers. Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where we issue a House Airway Bill ("HAWB") or a House Ocean Bill of Lading ("HOBL") are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin. Costs related to the shipments are also recognized at this same time based upon anticipated margins, contractual arrangements with direct carriers, and other known factors. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. The estimates are adjusted as deemed necessary by us to reflect differences between the original accruals and actual costs of purchased transportation.

 

This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under GAAP which do not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognize revenue as progress on the transit is made. Our method of revenue and cost recognition does not result in a material difference from amounts which would be reported under such other methods.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation of the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2012, was carried out by our management under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that, as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2012, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Set forth below are risk factors that have materially changed since our annual report on Form 10-K, or risk factors that were not included in such report.

 

DBA Claims Notice and Related Matters

 

In January 2012, we asserted certain claims for indemnification against the former shareholders of DBA under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 29, 2011, relating to, among other things, the failure to identify certain purchased transportation charges, the failure to identify certain related party transactions, and the loss of certain Los Angeles-based customer accounts as a result of solicitations by the former DBA shareholder who managed our Los Angeles office, together with an affiliate of such shareholder who managed certain Los Angeles-based account relationships, that constituted a breach of the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in the Agreement and Plan of Merger governing the transaction. In February 2012, we filed a formal arbitration action against the former DBA shareholders detailing these claims and asserting our right of off-set of $1.8 million against amounts otherwise payable to the DBA shareholders in the future.

 

Although the arbitration and ultimate resolution of this dispute will not likely occur within the short-term, the Company believes that these breaches will not have any meaningful long term adverse effect on its overall results of operations given the Company's: (i) termination of the previously undisclosed related party transactions, (ii) efforts to recover lost customer relationships and retain existing customer relationships, (iii) efforts through the arbitration proceeding to assert legal remedies as a result of the breaches; and (iv) efforts through a concurrent civil proceeding to enjoin further customer solicitation and assert legal remedies against a former Company employee/affiliate of the former DBA shareholder who we believe breached certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations to the Company. Nevertheless, near-term earnings have and will continue to be negatively impacted as a result of lost revenue experienced by our Los Angeles office and the legal expenses incurred in connection with this matter, although such amounts may be recoverable in addition to our initial $1.8 million claim. Further, if we are unable to enforce the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants and are otherwise unable to retain customers historically serviced from our Los Angeles station, we could then be subject to an impairment of the then unamortized customer relationship intangible asset ascribed to any such lost customers. The total value of unamortized customer relationship intangible asset value ascribed to the competing party was approximately $100,000 as of March 31, 2012. In the unlikely event of impairment, the Company believes this non-cash charge would be more than off-set by the anticipated gain on litigation associated with our $1.8 million in off-set rights.
