Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 84.0% for the three months and 53.9% for the six months compared to the prior year periods, primarily driven by the acquisition of Adcom Express, Inc. in September 2008.
- Net Loss: The company reported a net loss of $10.2 million for the quarter and $10.0 million for the six months, a significant reversal from net income of $1.3 million and $1.4 million in the comparable 2007 periods.
- Goodwill Impairment: A non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $11,403,342 was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2008, due to a sustained decline in share price resulting in market capitalization falling below book value.
- Operating Income: Despite the impairment, income from operations improved to $879,639 for the quarter (from $169,923) and $1,262,203 for the six months (from $277,294), reflecting operational growth.
- Equity Deficit: Stockholders' equity turned negative to $(848,912) from a positive $9,023,829 at June 30, 2008, due to the accumulated net loss.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Acquisition Integration: The company is integrating Adcom, which added 30 locations. Management notes that Adcom has a higher percentage of international sales, which generally carry lower margins, contributing to a decrease in net transportation margins (31.7% vs 36.3% in the prior year quarter).
- Liquidity and Capital Resources: The company has a $15 million revolving credit facility with approximately $2.7 million remaining availability. Management anticipates pursuing an additional equity offering within the next twelve months to fund future acquisitions and working capital.
- Legal Proceedings:
- Adcom Dispute: A dispute exists with the former shareholder of Adcom regarding closing date working capital and alleged breaches of representations. The company believes amounts due could be reduced by more than $500,000.
- Burke Proceedings: A settlement was reached in February 2009 regarding garnishment proceedings related to the automotive asset acquisition, limiting recovery to a letter of credit posted by the seller.
- Internal Controls: Management concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2008, citing a material weakness in the goodwill and intangible assets impairment analysis process.
- Unusual Items: The $11.4 million goodwill impairment is a non-cash charge. Additionally, $220,000 in restructuring charges were incurred related to the Adcom acquisition.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Goodwill Impairment Validity: Verify the assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis that led to the $11.4 million write-off and the conclusion that no residual fair value remained for goodwill.
- Adcom Integration Performance: Monitor the actual gross profit contribution of Adcom against the earn-out targets to assess future cash and stock obligations.
- Debt Covenant Compliance: Confirm continued compliance with the credit facility covenants, specifically the minimum profitability standard and fixed charge coverage ratio, given the recent net losses.
- Legal Resolution: Track the resolution of the dispute with the former Adcom shareholder regarding working capital adjustments and potential reductions in purchase price.
- Remediation of Internal Controls: Review the company's plan to remediate the material weakness in financial reporting controls identified in this filing.
