PART I
Our Company
Radiant Logistics, Inc. (the Company, we or us) is a non-asset based transportation and logistics services company providing customers domestic and international freight forwarding services through a network of Company-owned and independent agent offices operating under the Radiant, Airgroup, Adcom and DBA network brands. We also offer an expanding array of value added supply chain management services, including customs and property brokerage, order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing.
Since the inception of our business in 2006, we have executed on a strategy to expand operations through a combination of organic growth and the strategic acquisition of non-asset based transportation and logistics providers meeting our acquisition criteria. Our first acquisition of Airgroup Corporation (Airgroup) was completed on January 1, 2006. Airgroup, located in Bellevue, Washington, is a non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding services around the world through a network of company and agent offices.
In connection with our 2008 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 our multi-brand network. Today, 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 strategically positioned, company owned and independent agent offices.
Our growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. For organic growth, we will focus on strengthening and retaining existing, and expanding new agency relationships. We have focused our efforts on the build-out of our network of agent locations, as well as enhancing our back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems.
In addition to our focus on organic growth, we are executing our acquisition strategy to develop additional growth opportunities. We have adopted our acquisition strategy 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 agents on which we depend. The success of 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 such 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. Certain of these business risks are identified or referred to below in Item 1A of this Report.
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. Our universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3, declared effective May 11, 2012, provides us with flexibility to raise capital through the sale of registered debt or equity securities to the investing public. We have completed seven acquisitions since the 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, the Company acquired Adcom Express, Inc. d/b/a Adcom Worldwide (Adcom), adding an additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting our overall
2
domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April 2011, the Company acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc. (DBA), which operates under the trade name Distribution by Air, adding two company owned logistics offices located in Somerset, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California and 23 independent agency offices across North America. In December 2011 we acquired the assets and operations of ISLA International Ltd. (ISLA) which added a company-owned location in Laredo, Texas serving as the Companys gateway to the Mexico markets. ISLA provides the Company 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. In February 2012, we acquired the assets and operations of Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics, Inc. (ALBS) adding a company-owned location in New York-JFK, a strategic location for domestic and international logistics services. In November 2012, we acquired certain assets of Los Angeles, California based Marvir Logistics, Inc., (Marvir) an independent operating partner since 2006 providing domestic and international logistics services. On December 31, 2012, we acquired International Freight Systems of Oregon, Inc. (IFS) an independent operating partner since January 2007 providing domestic and international logistics services.
Industry Overview
As business requirements for efficient and cost-effective logistics services have increased, so has the importance and complexity of effectively managing freight transportation. Businesses increasingly strive to minimize inventory levels, perform manufacturing and assembly operations in the lowest cost locations, and distribute their products in numerous global markets. As a result, companies are increasingly looking to third-party logistics providers to help them execute their supply chain strategies.
Customers have two principal third-party alternatives: a freight forwarder or a fully-integrated carrier. We operate primarily as a freight forwarder. Freight forwarders procure shipments from customers and arrange the transportation of cargo on a carrier. A freight forwarder may also arrange pick-up from the shipper to the carrier and delivery of the shipment from the carrier to the recipient. Freight forwarders often tailor shipment routing to meet the customers price and service requirements. Fully-integrated carriers, such as FedEx Corporation (FedEx), DHL Worldwide Express, Inc. (DHL) and United Parcel Service (UPS), provide pickup and delivery service, primarily through their own captive fleets of trucks and aircraft. Because freight forwarders select from various transportation options in routing customer shipments, they are often able to serve customers less expensively and with greater flexibility than integrated carriers. Freight forwarders generally handle shipments of any size and offer a variety of customized shipping options.
Most freight forwarders, including us, focus on heavier cargo and do not generally compete with integrated shippers of primarily smaller parcels. In addition to the high fixed expenses associated with owning, operating and maintaining fleets of aircraft, trucks and related equipment, integrated carriers often impose significant restrictions on delivery schedules and shipment weight, size and type. On occasion, integrated shippers serve as a source of cargo space to forwarders. Additionally, most freight forwarders do not generally compete with the major commercial airlines, which, to some extent, depend on forwarders to procure shipments and supply freight to fill cargo space on their scheduled flights.
We believe there are several factors that are increasing demand for global logistics solutions. These factors include:
| Outsourcing of non-core activities. Companies increasingly outsource freight forwarding, warehousing and other supply chain activities to allow them to focus on their respective core competencies. From managing purchase orders to the timely delivery of products, companies turn to third party logistics providers to manage these functions at a lower cost and greater efficiency. |
| Globalization of trade. As barriers to international trade are reduced or substantially eliminated, international trade is increasing. In addition, companies increasingly are sourcing their parts, supplies |
3
and raw materials from the most cost competitive suppliers throughout the world. Outsourcing of manufacturing functions to, or locating company-owned manufacturing facilities in, low cost areas of the world also results in increased volumes of world trade. |
| Increased need for time-definite delivery. The need for just-in-time and other time-definite delivery has increased as a result of the globalization of manufacturing, greater implementation of demand-driven supply chains, the shortening of product cycles and the increasing value of individual shipments. Many businesses recognize that increased spending on time-definite supply chain management services can decrease overall manufacturing and distribution costs, reduce capital requirements and allow them to manage their working capital more efficiently by reducing inventory levels and inventory loss. |
| Consolidation of global logistics providers. Companies are decreasing the number of freight forwarders and supply chain management providers with which they interact. We believe companies want to transact business with a limited number of providers that are familiar with their requirements, processes and procedures, and can function as long-term partners. In addition, there is strong pressure on national and regional freight forwarders and supply chain management providers to become aligned with a global network. Larger freight forwarders and supply chain management providers benefit from economies of scale which enable them to negotiate reduced transportation rates and to allocate their overhead over a larger volume of transactions. Globally integrated freight forwarders and supply chain management providers are better situated to provide a full complement of services, including pick-up and delivery, shipment via air, sea and/or road transport, warehousing and distribution, and customs brokerage. |
| Increasing influence of e-business and the Internet. Technology advances have allowed businesses to connect electronically through the Internet to obtain relevant information and make purchase and sale decisions on a real-time basis, resulting in decreased transaction times and increased business-to-business activity. In response to their customers expectations, companies have recognized the benefits of being able to transact business electronically. As such, businesses increasingly are seeking the assistance of supply chain service providers with sophisticated information technology systems which can facilitate real-time transaction processing and web-based shipment monitoring. |
Our Growth Strategy
Our objective is to provide customers with comprehensive value-added logistics solutions. We plan to achieve this goal through domestic and international freight forwarding services offered by us through our Radiant, Airgroup, Adcom and DBA network brands. We expect our business to grow organically and by completing acquisitions of other companies with complementary geographical and logistics service offerings.
Our organic growth strategy involves strengthening existing and expanding new customer relationships. We have and will continue to focus our efforts on the organic build-out of our network of independent agency locations, as well as the enhancement of our back office infrastructure and transportation and accounting systems.
Our acquisition strategy has been designed to take advantage of shifting market dynamics. The third party logistics industry continues to grow as an increasing number of businesses outsource their logistics functions to more cost effectively manage and extract value from their supply chains. The industry is positioned for further consolidation as it remains highly fragmented, and as customers are demanding the types of sophisticated and broad reaching service offerings that can more effectively be handled by larger more diverse organizations. We believe the highly fragmented composition of the marketplace, the industry participants need for capital, and their owners desire for liquidity has and will continue to produce a large number of attractive acquisition candidates. More specifically, we believe that there are a number of participants within the agent-based forwarding community that will be seeking liquidity within the next several years as these owners approach retirement age, which creates a significant growth opportunity by supporting these logistics entrepreneurs in transition. Our target acquisition candidates are generally smaller than those identified as acquisition targets of
4
larger public companies and have limited ability to conduct their own public offerings or obtain financing that will provide them with capital for liquidity or rapid growth. These smaller companies may be receptive to our acquisition program as a vehicle for liquidation or growth.
On a longer-term basis, we believe we can successfully implement our acquisition strategy due to the following factors:
| the highly fragmented composition of our market; |
| our strategy for creating an organization with global reach should enhance an acquired target companys ability to compete in its local and regional markets through an expansion of offered services and lower operating costs; |
| the potential for increased profitability as a result of our centralization of certain administrative functions, greater purchasing power and economies of scale; |
| our centralized management capabilities should enable us to effectively manage our growth and the integration of acquired companies; |
| our status as a public corporation may ultimately provide us with a liquid trading currency for acquisitions; and |
| the ability to utilize our experienced management to identify, acquire and integrate acquisition opportunities. |
We intend to be opportunistic in executing our acquisition strategy with a goal of expanding both our domestic and international capabilities.
Our Operating Strategy
Leverage the People, Process and Technology Available through a Central Platform. A key element of our operating strategy is to maximize our operational efficiencies by integrating general and administrative functions into our back-office operations and reducing or eliminating redundant functions and facilities at acquired companies. This is designed to enable us to quickly realize potential savings and synergies, efficiently control and monitor operations of acquired companies, and allow acquired companies to focus on growing their sales and operations.
Develop and Maintain Strong Customer Relationships. We seek to develop and maintain strong interactive customer relationships by anticipating and focusing on our customers needs. We emphasize a relationship-oriented approach to business, rather than the transaction or assignment-oriented approach used by many of our competitors. To develop close customer relationships, we and our network of agents regularly meet with both existing and prospective clients to help design solutions for, and identify the resources needed to execute, their supply chain strategies. We believe that this relationship-oriented approach results in greater customer satisfaction and reduced business development expense.
Operations
Through our operating locations across North America, we offer domestic and international air, ocean and ground freight forwarding for shipments that are generally larger than shipments handled by integrated carriers of primarily small parcels such as FedEx, DHL and UPS. Our revenues are generated from a number of diverse services, including air freight forwarding, ocean freight forwarding, logistics and other value-added services.
Our primary business operations involve obtaining shipment or material orders from customers, creating and delivering a wide range of logistics solutions to meet customers specific requirements for transportation and related services, and arranging and monitoring all aspects of material flow activity utilizing advanced information technology systems. These logistics solutions include domestic and international freight forwarding and door-to-door delivery services using a wide range of transportation modes, including air, ocean and truck. As
5
a non-asset based provider we do not own the transportation equipment used to transport the freight. We expect to neither own nor operate any aircraft and, consequently, place no restrictions on delivery schedules or shipment size. We arrange for transportation of our customers shipments via commercial airlines, air cargo carriers, and other asset and non-asset based third-party providers. We select the carrier for a shipment based on route, departure time, available cargo capacity and cost. We charter cargo aircraft from time to time depending upon seasonality, freight volumes and other factors. We make a margin on the difference between what we charge to our customers for the services provided to them, and what we pay to the transportation providers to transport the freight.
Information Services
The regular enhancement of our information systems and ultimate migration of acquired companies and additional agency locations to a common set of back-office and customer facing applications is a key component of our growth strategy. We believe that the ability to provide accurate real-time information on the status of shipments has become increasingly important and that our efforts in this area will result in competitive service advantages. In addition, we believe that centralizing our transportation management system (rating, routing, tender and financial settlement processes) will drive significant productivity improvement across our network.
We use a web-enabled third-party freight forwarding software (Cargowise) that is integrated to our third-party accounting system (SAP). These systems combine to form the foundation of our supply-chain technologies, which we call Globalvision, and which provides us with a common set of back-office operating, accounting and customer facing applications used across our network. We have and will continue to assess technologies obtained through our acquisition strategy and expect to develop a best-of-breed solution set using a combination of owned and licensed technologies. This strategy will require the investment of significant management and financial resources to deliver these enabling technologies.
Our Competitive Advantages
As a non-asset based third-party logistics provider, we believe that we are well-positioned to provide cost-effective and efficient solutions to address the demand in the marketplace for transportation and logistics services. We believe that the most important competitive factors in our industry are quality of service, including reliability, responsiveness, expertise and convenience, scope of operations, geographic coverage, information technology and price. We believe our primary competitive advantages are: (i) our low cost, non-asset based business model; (ii) our lower-risk operation of independent agent office; (iii) the advantages our network provides to independent agent offices; (iv) our intention to develop a global network; (v) our information technology resources; and (iv) our diverse customer base.
Non-asset based business model. With relatively no dedicated or fixed operating costs, we are able to leverage our network of locations to offer competitive pricing and flexible solutions to our customers. Moreover, our balanced product offering provides us with revenue streams from multiple sources and enables us to retain customers even as they shift from priority to deferred shipments of their products. We believe our model allows us to provide low-cost solutions to our customers while also generating revenues from multiple modes of transportation and logistics services.
Lower-risk operation of network of independent agent offices. We derive a substantial portion of our revenue pursuant to agreements with independently-owned agent offices operating under our various brands. These arrangements afford us with a relatively low risk of growth model as each individual agent office is responsible for its own sales and costs of operations. Under shared revenue arrangements with our independent agent office owners, we are responsible to provide centralized back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems, billing and collection services.
Advantages to independent agent office owners. Our current network is predominantly represented by independent agent offices that rely on us for operating authority, technology, sales and marketing support, access to working capital, our carrier network, and collective purchasing power. Through the agency relationship, the
6
agent has the ability to focus on the operational and sales support aspects of the business without diverting costs or expertise to the structural aspect of its operations, providing the agent with the regional, national and global brand recognition that they would not otherwise be able to achieve by solely serving their local market.
Intention to develop a global network. We intend to focus on strengthening our worldwide supply chain services, which today include international air and ocean services that complement our North American network service offerings. These offerings include heavyweight and small package air services, providing same day (next flight out) air charters, next day a.m./p.m., second day a.m./p.m. as well as time definite surface transport moves. Our non-asset based business model allows us to use commercial passenger and cargo flights. Thus, we have thousands of daily flight options to choose from. In addition, our pickup and delivery network provides us with zip code to zip code coverage throughout North America.
Information technology resources. A primary component of our business strategy is the continued development of advanced information systems to provide accurate and timely information to our management and customers. Our customer delivery tools enable connectivity with our customers and trading partners systems, which leads to more accurate and up-to-date information on the status of shipments.
Diverse customer base. We have a well-diversified customer base that includes manufacturers, distributors and retailers. As of the date of this report, no single customer represented more than 5% of our business and no one agency location represented more than 10% of our business, reducing risks associated with any particular industry, geographic or customer concentration.
Sales and Marketing
We principally market our services through our network of company-owned and independent agent offices located across North America. Each office is staffed with operational employees to provide support for the sales team, develop frequent contact with the customers traffic department, and maintain customer service. Our current network is predominantly represented by independent agent offices that rely on us for operating authority, technology, sales and marketing support, access to working capital, our carrier network, and collective purchasing power. Through the agency relationship, the agent has the ability to focus on the operational and sales support aspects of the business without diverting costs or expertise to the structural aspect of its operations, providing the agent with the regional, national and global brand recognition that they would not otherwise be able to achieve by solely serving their local market. We have no customers or agency locations that separately account for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues, although we do have a number of significant customers and agency locations with volume and stature, the loss of one or more of which could negatively impact our ability to retain and service our customers.
Research and Development
During the past two years, we have not spent any material amount on research and development activities.
Competition and Business Conditions
The logistics business is directly impacted by the volume of domestic and international trade. The volume of such trade is influenced by many factors, including economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad, major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, acts of war, terrorism and other armed conflicts, United States and international laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, foreign investments and taxation.
The global transportation and logistics services industry is intensively competitive and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. We will compete against other domestic and international freight forwarders, as well as integrated logistics companies, transportation services companies, consultants, information technology
7
vendors and shippers transportation departments. This competition is based primarily on rates, quality of service (such as damage-free shipments, on-time delivery and consistent transit times), reliable pickup and delivery and scope of operations. Certain of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources than we do.
Regulation
Interstate and international transportation of freight is highly regulated. Failure to comply with applicable state and federal regulations, or to maintain required permits or licenses, can result in substantial fines or revocation of operating permits or authorities imposed on both transportation intermediaries and their shipper customers. We cannot give assurance as to the degree or cost of future regulations on our business. Some of the regulations affecting our current and prospective operations are described below.
Air freight forwarding operations are subject to regulation, as an indirect air cargo carrier, under the Federal Aviation Act as enforced by the Federal Aviation Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Transportation Security Administration of the Department of Homeland Security. While air freight forwarders are exempted from most of the Federal Aviation Acts requirements by the Economic Aviation Regulations, the industry is subject to ongoing regulatory and legislative developments that can impact the economics of the industry by requiring changes to operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the costs of, providing services to customers.
Surface freight forwarding operations are subject to various state and federal statutes, and are regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation and, to a very limited extent, the Surface Transportation Board. These federal agencies have broad investigatory and regulatory powers, including the power to issue a certificate of authority or license to engage in the business, to approve specified mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, and to regulate the delivery of some types of domestic shipments and operations within particular geographic areas.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration also has the authority to regulate interstate motor carrier operations, including the regulation of certain rates, charges and accounting systems, to require periodic financial reporting, and to regulate insurance, driver qualifications, operation of motor vehicles, parts and accessories for motor vehicle equipment, hours of service of drivers, inspection, repair, maintenance standards and other safety related matters. The federal laws governing interstate motor carriers have both direct and indirect application to the Company. The breadth and scope of the federal regulations may affect our operations and the motor carriers that are used in the provisioning of the transportation services. In certain locations, state or local permits or registrations may also be required to provide or obtain intrastate motor carrier services.
The Federal Maritime Commission, or FMC, regulates and licenses ocean forwarding operations. Non-vessel operating common carriers are subject to FMC regulation, under the FMC tariff filing and surety bond requirements, and under the Shipping Act of 1984, particularly those terms proscribing rebating practices.
United States customs brokerage operations are subject to the licensing requirements of the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection of the Department of Homeland Security. As we broaden our capabilities to include customs brokerage operations, we will be subject to regulation by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection. Likewise, any customs brokerage operations must also be licensed in and subject to the regulations of countries into which freight is imported.
Personnel
As of the date of this report, we have approximately 206 employees, of which 194 are full time. None of these employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have experienced no work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.

RISKS PARTICULAR TO OUR BUSINESS
You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K before investing in our common stock. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The future trading price of shares of our common stock will be affected by the performance of our business relative to, among other things, competition, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions.
Risks Related to our Business
We are largely dependent on the efforts of independent agents to generate our revenue and service our customers.
We currently sell our services through some Company-owned locations and through a network predominantly represented by independently-owned agent offices that operate under our brands located throughout North America. We have recently opened additional Company-owned locations. However, substantially more than a majority of our consolidated revenues are derived through our independent agent offices and we believe independent agent relationships will remain important to our success. Our agreements with independent agents provide our agents with benefits such as increased cash flow, back office and technology support, license to use our brands, vendor rates that are likely better than those available to the independent agent on its own, a global network of other agents able to assist in providing broad freight solutions. These agreements provide us with certain protections such as an agent-funded reserve for bad debt, indemnification and often a personal guaranty. We have long-term relationships with many of our agents, with automatic renewal of most of our contracts. While at times agency contracts technically expire, we continue to work with the agency location to renew the contract while continuing to operate pursuant to the most recent written terms of the agreements. As we renew expired contracts, there can be no guarantee that we will be able to enter into new agreements that provide for the same terms as those previously agreed. While we have no customers or agency locations that separately account for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues, we do have a number of customers and agency locations with significant volume and stature, the loss of one or more of which could negatively impact our ability to retain and service our customers. We will need to expand our existing relationships and enter into new relationships in order to increase our current and future market share and revenue. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain and expand our existing relationships or enter into new relationships, or that new or renewed relationships will be available on commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to maintain and expand our existing relationships, renew existing relationships, or enter into new relationships, we may lose customers, customer introductions and co-marketing benefits and our operating results may suffer.
If our independent agent offices fail to maintain adequate reserves against unpaid customer invoices, or if we are unable to offset against amounts payable by us to our independent agent offices for unpaid customer invoices, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
We derive a substantial portion of our revenue pursuant to agency agreements with independently-owned agent offices operating under our various brands. Each individual agent office is responsible for some or all of the bad debt expense related to the underlying customers being serviced by the office. To facilitate this arrangement, each office is required to maintain a security deposit with us that is recognized as a liability in our financial statements and used as a bad debt reserve for each location. We charge each individual offices 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 such offices weekly commission check being directed to fund
9
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 our financial statements. Further, the agency agreements provide that we may withhold all or a portion of future commission checks payable to the individual office in satisfaction of any deficit balance. Currently, a number of our agency offices have a deficit balance in their bad debt reserve account totaling approximately $600k with one agency office representing approximately $450k. We expect to replenish these funds through the future business operations of these offices. However, to the extent any of these offices were to cease operations or otherwise be unable to replenish these deficit accounts, we would be at risk of loss for any such amount. We are currently involved in collection proceedings against two customers who owe us approximately $1.1 million. We have expensed our 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) our historic collection experience; (ii) the portion of the bad debt recoverable from the individual agency location responsible for the account; and (iii) the anticipated recovery likely from these customers; we do not believe its exposure to these customers will be material.
Failure to comply with obligations as an indirect carrier could result in penalties and fines and limit our ability to ship freight.
We are regulated, among other things, as indirect air carriers by the Transportation Security Administration of the Department of Homeland Security. These agencies provide requirements, guidance and, in some cases, administer licensing requirements and processes applicable to the freight forwarding industry. We actively monitor our compliance with such agency requirements to ensure that we and our independent agents satisfactorily complete applicable security requirements and satisfy applicable qualifications and implement the required policies and procedures. These agencies generally require companies to fulfill these qualifications prior to and while operating as a freight forwarder. Failure to comply with such requirements, policies and procedures could result in penalties and fines. To date, a limited number of our independent agents have been out of compliance with the indirect air carrier regulations, resulting in small fines. While we are working with our independent agents to eliminate any additional violations, there is no assurance that additional violations will not take place, which could result in penalties or fines or, in the extreme case, limits on our ability to ship freight.
If we fail to develop and integrate information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our agents and customers and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may suffer a loss in our business.
Increasingly, we compete for business based upon the flexibility, sophistication and security of the information technology systems supporting our services. The failure of the hardware or software that supports our information technology systems, the loss of data contained in the systems, or the inability to access or interact with our web site or connect electronically, could significantly disrupt our operations, prevent clients from placing orders, or cause us to lose inventory items, orders or clients. If our information technology systems are unable to handle additional volume for our operations as our business and scope of services grow, our service levels and operating efficiency will decline. In addition, we expect our agents to continue to demand more sophisticated, fully integrated information technology systems from us as customers demand the same from their supply chain services providers. If we are unable to implement, maintain and protect our information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our agents and customers and protect against disruptions of our operations, our business may be adversely affected.
Our information technology systems are subject to risks we cannot control.
Our information technology systems are dependent upon third party communications providers, web browsers, telephone systems and other aspects of the internet infrastructure that have experienced significant system failures and electrical outages in the past. Our systems are susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss,
10
telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Despite our implementation of network security measures, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and inhibit our internal operations, and our ability to provide services to our customers.
Because our freight forwarding and domestic ground transportation operations are dependent on commercial airfreight carriers and air charter operators, ocean freight carriers, major U.S. railroads, other transportation companies, draymen and longshoremen, changes in available cargo capacity and other changes affecting such carriers, as well as interruptions in service or work stoppages, may negatively impact our business.
We rely on commercial airfreight carriers and air charter operators, ocean freight carriers, trucking companies, major U.S. railroads, other transportation companies, draymen and longshoremen for the movement of our clients cargo. Consequently, our ability to provide services for our clients could be adversely impacted by: shortages in available cargo capacity; changes by carriers and transportation companies in policies and practices such as scheduling, pricing, payment terms and frequency of service or increases in the cost of fuel, taxes and labor; and other factors not within our control. Reductions in airfreight or ocean freight capacity could negatively impact our yields. Material interruptions in service or stoppages in transportation, whether caused by strike, work stoppage, lock-out, slowdown or otherwise, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our profitability depends on our ability to effectively manage our cost structure as we grow the business.
As we continue to increase our revenue through the expansion of our network of independent agency locations, we must maintain an appropriate cost structure to maintain and increase our profitability. While we intend to increase our revenue by increasing the number and quality of our agency relationships, by strategic acquisitions, and by maintaining and expanding our gross profit margins by reducing transportation costs, our profitability will be driven by our ability to manage our agent commissions, personnel and general and administrative costs as a function of our net revenues. There can be no assurances that we will be able to increase revenues or maintain profitability.
Our business is subject to seasonal trends.
Historically, our operating results have been subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. Our first and fourth fiscal quarters are traditionally weaker compared with our second and third fiscal quarters. This trend is dependent on numerous factors, including the markets in which we operate, holiday seasons, climate, economic conditions and numerous other factors. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from clients in industries whose shipping patterns are tied closely to consumer demand which can sometimes be difficult to predict or are based on just-in-time production schedules. Therefore, our revenue is, to a large degree, affected by factors that are outside of our control. There can be no assurance that our historic operating patterns will continue in future periods as we cannot influence or forecast many of these factors.
Comparisons of our operating results from period to period are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and likely will continue to fluctuate in the future because of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from clients in industries whose shipping patterns are tied closely to economic trends and consumer demand that can be difficult to predict, or are based on just-in-time production schedules. Because our quarterly revenues and operating results vary significantly, comparisons of our results from period to period are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our historic operating patterns will continue in future periods as we cannot influence or forecast many of these factors.
11
We face intense competition in the freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management industry.
The freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management industry is intensely competitive and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. We face competition from a number of companies, including many that have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. Customers increasingly are turning to competitive bidding situations soliciting bids from a number of competitors, including competitors that are larger than us.
Our industry is consolidating and if we cannot gain sufficient market presence in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger companies in our industry.
There currently is a trend within our industry toward consolidation of the niche players into larger companies that are attempting to increase global operations through the acquisition of regional and local freight forwarders. If we cannot gain sufficient market presence or otherwise establish a successful strategy in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger companies in our industry with global operations.
If we are not able to limit our liability for customers claims through contract terms and limit our exposure through the purchase of insurance, we could be required to pay large amounts to our clients as compensation for their claims and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In general, we seek to limit by contract and/or International Conventions and laws our liability to our clients for loss or damage to their goods to $20 per kilogram (approximately $9.07 per pound) and $500 per carton or customary unit, for ocean freight shipments, depending on the International Convention. For truck/land based risks, there are a variety of limits ranging from a nominal amount to full value. However, because a freight forwarder relationship to an airline or ocean carrier is that of a shipper to a carrier, the airline or ocean carrier generally assumes the same responsibility to us as we assume to our clients. When we act in the capacity of an authorized agent for an air or ocean carrier, the carrier, rather than us, assumes liability for the safe delivery of the clients cargo to its ultimate destination, unless due to our own errors and omissions.
We have, from time to time, made payments to our clients for claims related to our services and may make such payments in the future. Should we experience an increase in the number or size of such claims or an increase in liability pursuant to claims or unfavorable resolutions of claims, our results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will provide us with adequate coverage for such claims or that the maximum amounts for which we are liable in connection with our services will not change in the future or exceed our insurance levels. As with every insurance policy, there are limits, exclusions and deductibles that apply and we could be subject to claims for which insurance coverage may be inadequate or even disputed and such claims could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs could reduce our profitability.
Our failure to comply with, or the costs of complying with, government regulation could negatively affect our results of operation.
Our business is subject to heavy, evolving, complex and increasing regulation by national and international sources. Regulatory changes could affect the economics of our industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the costs of providing, services to customers. Future regulation and our failure to comply with any applicable regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business.
If we are unable to maintain our brand image and corporate reputation, our business may suffer.
Our success depends in part on our ability to maintain the image of the Radiant brand and our reputation for providing excellent service to our customers. Service quality issues, actual or perceived, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish the image of our brand and may cause customers to use other freight-forwarding companies. Damage to our reputation and loss of brand equity could reduce demand for our services and thus have an adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations, and could require additional resources to rebuild our reputation and restore the value of our brand.
12
Our Bank of America credit facility and our Caltius mezzanine subordinated notes contain financial covenants that may limit current availability and impose ongoing operational limitations and risk of compliance.
We currently maintain a $30.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (BofA), which includes a $2.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit (collectively, the Credit Facility). Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0 in the event that availability is less than $5.0 million or an Event of Default was to occur.
In connection with our acquisition of the assets and operations of ISLA International, Ltd. in December 2011, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the Investment Agreement) with Caltius Partners IV, LP and Caltius Partners Executive IV, LP (collectively, Caltius) pursuant to which we borrowed $10.0 million in exchange for a series of Senior Subordinated Notes (the Caltius Financing). Under the Caltius Financing, we are subject to certain financial covenants, including funded leverage ratio covenants, senior funded leverage ratio covenants and fixed charges ratio covenants.
In addition, we are subject to significant restrictions, unless otherwise waived by Caltius, upon prepayment and penalties if we prepay the outstanding indebtedness during the three year period after the Caltius Financing. Further, Caltius has the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to redeem all shares of our common stock issued to Caltius in connection with the Caltius Financing at the then fair market value of such shares. The Caltius Financing also constrains our ability to obtain additional financing unless we obtain Caltiuss consent. The Caltius Financing also places restrictions on our ability to enter into future financings and acquisitions. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations under the Caltius Financing, we may be required to, among other things, immediately repay all outstanding principal and interest under the Caltius Financing, redeem all shares issued to Caltius in connection with the Caltius Financing, and forego future financing and acquisition opportunities. This may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Dependence on key personnel.
For the foreseeable future, our success will depend largely on the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer, Bohn H. Crain, as well as certain of the other key executives because of their collective industry knowledge, marketing skills and relationships with major vendors and agent office owners. We have secured employment arrangements with each of these individuals, which contain non-competition covenants that survive their actual term of employment. Nevertheless, should any of these individuals leave the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations.
Our results of operations could vary as a result of the methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies.
The methods, estimates, and judgments that we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on our results of operations (see Critical Accounting Estimates in Part II, Item 7 of this Form 10-K). Such methods, estimates, and judgments are, by their nature, subject to substantial risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, and factors may arise over time that lead us to change our methods, estimates, and judgments. Changes in those methods, estimates, and judgments could significantly affect our results of operations.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect our operations and our profitability.
Terrorist acts or acts of war or armed conflict, both foreign and domestic, could negatively affect our operations in a number of ways. Primarily, any of these acts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy and could lead to increased regulatory requirements with respect to the security and safety of freight shipments and transportation. Acts of terrorism or armed conflict, and the
13
uncertainty caused by such conflicts, could cause an overall reduction in worldwide sales of goods and corresponding shipments of goods. This would have a corresponding negative effect on our operations.
We intend to continue growing our international operations and will become increasingly subject to variations in the international trade market.
We provide services to customers engaged in international commerce, and intend to grow our international business in the coming years. Everything that affects international trade has the potential to expand or contract our international business and impact our operating results. For example, international trade is influenced by:
| currency exchange rates and currency control regulations; |
| interest rate fluctuations; |
| changes in governmental policies, such as taxation, quota restrictions, other forms of trade barriers and/or restrictions and trade accords; |
| changes in and application of international and domestic customs, trade and security regulations; |
| wars, strikes, civil unrest, acts of terrorism, and other conflicts; |
| natural disasters and pandemics; |
| changes in consumer attitudes regarding goods made in countries other than their own; |
| changes in availability of credit; |
| changes in the price and readily available quantities of oil and other petroleum-related products; and |
| increased global concerns regarding environmental sustainability. |
If any of the foregoing factors have a negative effect on the international trade market, we will likely suffer a decrease in our international business, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
In connection with our international business, we are subject to certain foreign regulatory requirements, and any failure to comply with these requirement could be detrimental to our business.
We provide services in parts of the world where common business practices could constitute violations of the anti-corruption laws, rules, regulations and decrees of the United States, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and of all other countries in which we conduct business; as well as trade control laws, or laws, regulations and Executive Orders imposing embargoes and sanctions; and anti-boycott laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws, rules, regulations and decrees is dependent on our employees, subcontractors, consultants, agents, third party brokers and customers, whose individual actions could violate these laws, rules, regulations and decrees. Failure to comply could result in substantial penalties, damages to our reputation and restrictions on our ability to conduct business. In addition, any investigation or litigation related to such violations may require significant management time and could cause us to incur extensive legal and related costs, all of which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and operating cash flows.
Risks Related to our Acquisition Strategy
There is a scarcity of and competition for acquisition opportunities.
There are a limited number of operating companies available for acquisition that we deem to be desirable targets. In addition, there is a very high level of competition among companies seeking to acquire these operating
14
companies. We are and will continue to be a very minor participant in the business of seeking acquisitions of these types of companies. A large number of established and well-financed entities are active in acquiring interests in companies that we may find to be desirable acquisition candidates. Many of these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us. Consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in negotiating and executing possible acquisitions of these businesses. Even if we are able to successfully compete with these entities, this competition may affect the terms of completed transactions and, as a result, we may pay more than we expected for potential acquisitions. We may not be able to identify operating companies that complement our strategy, and even if we identify a company that complements our strategy, we may be unable to complete an acquisition of such a company for many reasons, including:
| failure to agree on the terms necessary for a transaction, such as the purchase price; |
| incompatibility between our operational strategies or management philosophies with those of the potential acquiree; |
| competition from other acquirers of operating companies; |
| lack of sufficient capital to acquire a profitable logistics company; |
| unwillingness of a potential acquiree to agree to subordinate any future payment of earn-outs or promissory notes to the payments due to our lenders; and |
| unwillingness of a potential acquiree to work with our management. |
Risks related to acquisition financing.
We have a limited amount of financial resources and our ability to make additional acquisitions without securing additional financing from outside sources is limited. In order to continue to pursue our acquisition strategy, we may be required to obtain additional financing. We intend to obtain such financing through a combination of traditional debt financing or the placement of debt and equity securities. We may finance some portion of our future acquisitions by either issuing equity or by using shares of our common stock for all or a portion of the purchase price for such businesses. In the event that our common stock does not attain or maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept our common stock as part of the purchase price for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more of our cash resources, if available, in order to maintain our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, we will not be able to complete acquisitions and our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. The terms of our Credit Facility and Caltius Financing each require that we obtain their consent prior to securing additional debt financing. There could be circumstances in which our ability to obtain additional debt financing could be constrained if we are unable to secure the consent of each of BofA and Caltius.
Our Bank of America Credit Facility places certain limits on the acquisitions we may make.
Under the terms of our Credit Facility, we may be required to obtain BofAs consent prior to making any additional acquisitions.
We are permitted to make additional acquisitions without the consent of BofA only if certain conditions are satisfied. The conditions imposed by the Credit Facility include the following: (i) the absence of an event of default under the Credit Facility; (ii) the acquisition is consensual; (iii) the company to be acquired must be in the transportation and logistics industry, located in the United States or certain other approved jurisdictions, and have a positive EBITDA for the 12 month period most recently ended prior to such acquisitions; (iv) no debt or liens may be incurred, assumed or result from the acquisition, subject to limited exceptions; and (v) after giving effect for the funding of the acquisition, we must have undrawn availability under the Credit Facility of at least the greater of 20% of the borrowing base or $5,000,000.
15
In the event we are not able to satisfy the conditions of the Credit Facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, we must either forego the acquisition, obtain BofAs consent, or retire the Credit Facility. This may prevent us from completing acquisitions that we determine are desirable from a business perspective and limit or slow our ability to achieve the critical mass we need to achieve our strategic objectives.
The Caltius Financing requires us to meet certain financial covenants and subjects us to restrictions on future financings and acquisitions.
The Caltius Financing also places restrictions on our ability to enter into future financings and acquisitions.
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 our equity interests issued 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 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 million; (vii) the post-closing availability under the Credit 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; (ix) any future acquisition consideration in the form of earn-out payments and/or payments under promissory notes is expressly subordinated to any future amounts due and owing to Caltius; and (x) we shall have provided to Caltius certain deliverables for such acquisition.
We or our subsidiaries may, however, acquire at least 51% of the equity of another entity (Permitted Investment) so long as (i) the aggregate consideration for all such Permitted Investments does not exceed $1.0 million; (ii) we (or our subsidiary, as applicable) control and own at least 51% of the acquired entity; and (iii) we (or our subsidiary, as applicable) comply with all of the requirements of the preceding paragraph, other than the requirements set forth in sections (iv) and (vi).
If we are unable to satisfy our obligations under the Caltius Financing, we may be required to, among other things, immediately repay all outstanding principal and interest under the Caltius Financing, redeem all shares issued to Caltius in connection with the Caltius Financing, and forego future financing and acquisition opportunities. This may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
To the extent we make any material acquisitions, our earnings will be adversely affected by non-cash charges relating to the amortization of intangibles, which may cause our stock price to decline.
Under applicable accounting standards, purchasers are required to allocate the total consideration paid in a business combination to the identified acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the time of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid to acquire a business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible assets acquired must be allocated among identifiable intangible assets including goodwill. The amount allocated to goodwill is not subject to amortization. However, it is tested at least annually for impairment. The
16
amount allocated to identifiable intangibles, such as customer relationships and the like, is amortized over the life of these intangible assets. We expect that this will subject us to periodic charges against our earnings to the extent of the amortization incurred for that period. Because our business strategy focuses, in part, on growth through acquisitions, our future earnings will be subject to greater non-cash amortization charges than a company whose earnings are derived solely from organic growth. As a result, we will experience an increase in non-cash charges related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Our financial statements will show that our intangible assets are diminishing in value, when, in fact, we believe they may be increasing because we are growing the value of our intangible assets (e.g. customer relationships). Because of this discrepancy, we believe our EBITDA, a measure of financial performance that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), provides a meaningful measure of our financial performance. However, the investment community generally measures a public companys performance by its net income. Further, the financial covenants of our Credit Facility adjust EBITDA to exclude costs related to share based compensation and other non-cash charges. Thus, we believe EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, provide a meaningful measure of our financial performance. If the investment community elects to place more emphasis on net income, the future price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
We are not obligated to follow any particular criteria or standards for identifying acquisition candidates.
Even though we have developed general acquisition guidelines, other than as required under the Credit Facility or Caltius Financing, we are not obligated to follow any particular operating, financial, geographic or other criteria in evaluating candidates for potential acquisitions or business combinations. We will target businesses that we believe will provide the best potential long-term financial return for our stockholders and we will determine the purchase price and other terms and conditions of acquisitions. Our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the relevant economic, financial and other information that our management team will use and consider in deciding whether or not to enter into a particular transaction.
We may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to successfully implement our acquisition strategy.
Subject to the restrictions contained in the Credit Facility and Investment Agreement with Caltius, we may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to complete future acquisitions. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow from the operations of acquired businesses to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on the indebtedness, then we will be required to use our capital for such payments. This will restrict our ability to make additional acquisitions. We may also be forced to sell an acquired business in order to satisfy indebtedness. We cannot be certain that we will be able to operate profitably once we incur this indebtedness or that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount of proceeds from the ultimate disposition of such acquired businesses to repay the indebtedness incurred to make these acquisitions.
We may experience difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel and assets of acquired businesses that may disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.
A core component of our business plan is to acquire businesses and assets in the transportation and logistics industry. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. Such acquisitions also involve numerous operational risks, including:
| difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel; |
| the diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations; |
| the risk of entering new markets; |
| the potential loss of existing or acquired agency locations following an acquisition; |
| the potential loss of key employees following an acquisition and the associated risk of competitive efforts from such departed personnel; |
17
| possible legal disputes with the acquired company following an acquisition; and |
| the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs. |
As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate and execute any acquisitions or investments, our business and prospects may be seriously harmed.
Legal dispute emanating from recent acquisition of DBA.
In December 2012, we recovered an award in arbitration against the former shareholders of DBA. The award arose out of a prior arbitration action against the former shareholders of DBA in which we asserted, among others, certain claims for indemnification under the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the DBA Agreement) dated March 29, 2011, based upon breaches that we believe occurred under the DBA Agreement. These breaches included, among others, the breach of certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants by Paul Pollara, one of the DBA selling shareholders, and Bretta Santini Pollara, a former DBA employee and wife of Mr. Pollara.
In a related matter, in December 2011, Ms. Pollara filed a claim for declaratory relief against us seeking an order stipulating that she is not bound by the non-compete covenant contained within the DBA Agreement signed by her husband, Mr. Pollara. On January 23, 2012, we filed a counterclaim against Ms. Pollara, her company Santini Productions, Daniel Reffner (a former employee of the Company now working for Ms. Pollara), and Oceanair, Inc. (a company doing business with Santini Productions). Our counterclaim alleges claims for statutory and common law misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of duty of loyalty, and unfair competition, and seeks damages in excess of $500,000. Following certain procedural motions, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, DBA and RGL, intervened and filed a Second Amendment Counterclaim in the lawsuit. After further procedural matters were addressed, the claims that remain at issue are: (1) DBAs statutory trade secret misappropriation claim against Ms. Pollara, Santini Productions, and Oceanair; (2) RGLs and DBAs claims for interference with contractual relations against Oceanair; and (3) RGLs and DBAs claim for inducement to breach contract against Oceanair. The parties are awaiting a trial date.
Although the ultimate resolution of this dispute will not likely occur in the near-term, we believe that these breaches will not have any meaningful long-term adverse effect on our overall results of operations given our: (i) efforts to retain existing customers; (ii) restructuring of our Los Angeles operations; and (iii) efforts through a civil proceeding to recover damages and assert legal remedies against Ms. Pollara and her co-defendants who we believe breached certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations to us. Nevertheless, near-term earnings could be negatively impacted if our efforts to retain existing customers are not successful, and as a result of any legal expenses incurred in connection with the matter.
Risks Related to our Common Stock
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make a contested takeover more difficult.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL) could deter a change in our management or render more difficult an attempt to obtain control of us, even if such a proposal is favored by a majority of our stockholders. For example, we are subject to the provisions of the DGCL that prohibit a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of such corporations outstanding voting shares (an interested stockholder) for three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of 75% of our outstanding shares and that amendments to our bylaws require the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of our outstanding shares. Our certificate of incorporation also includes undesignated preferred stock, which may enable our Board of Directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest,
18
merger or otherwise. Finally, our bylaws include an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or submit proposals at a stockholders meeting.
Trading in our common stock has been limited and there is no significant trading market for our common stock.
Although our common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT, it may remain relatively illiquid, or thinly traded. Because of this limited liquidity, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares. The trading price of our shares may from time to time fluctuate widely. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including events described in the risk factors set forth in this report as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements, general conditions in the industry and the financial markets, and other events or factors. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
The influx of additional shares of our common stock onto the market may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.
We have completed several acquisitions which often include the issuance of additional shares pursuant to the purchase agreements. We issued approximately 252,000 unregistered shares of our common stock over the past 12 months as part of the purchase price, or associated with the financing of a transaction. In addition, we may issue additional shares in connection with such acquisitions upon the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds. The availability of those shares for sale to the public under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and sale of such shares in public markets could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Such an adverse effect on the market price would make it more difficult for us to sell our equity securities in the future at prices we deem appropriate or to use our shares as currency for future acquisitions which will make it more difficult to execute our acquisition strategy.
The issuance of additional shares may result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.
We currently have in place a universal shelf registration statement which allows us to publicly issue up to $75 million of additional securities, including debt, common stock, preferred stock, and warrants. The shelf registration is intended to provide greater flexibility to us in financing growth or changing our capital structure.
At any time we may make private offerings of our securities. We have issued, and may be required to issue, additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in payment of the purchase price of businesses we have acquired. This will have the effect of further increasing the number of shares outstanding. In connection with future acquisitions, we may undertake the issuance of more shares of common stock without notice to our then existing stockholders. We may also issue additional shares in order to, among other things, compensate employees or consultants or for other valid business reasons in the discretion of our Board of Directors, which could result in diluting the interests of our existing stockholders.
The exercise or conversion of our outstanding options, warrants or other convertible securities or any derivative securities we issue in the future will result in the dilution of the ownership interests of our existing stockholders and may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. We are currently authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock. As of September 26, 2013, we had 33,348,166 outstanding shares of common stock. We may in the future issue up to 5,555,781 additional shares of our common stock upon exercise of existing options.
We may issue shares of preferred stock with greater rights than our common stock.
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms for those shares without the approval of our stockholders. Any such preferred
19
stock we may issue in the future could rank ahead of our common stock in many ways, including in terms of dividends, liquidation rights, and voting rights.
As we do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock, investors in our shares of common stock will not receive any dividend income.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any dividends that we may pay in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend on our future earnings, any applicable regulatory considerations, our financial requirements and other similarly unpredictable factors. Our ability to pay dividends is further limited by the terms of our Credit Facility with BofA and the Investment Agreement with Caltius. Accordingly, investors seeking dividend income should not purchase our stock.
From time to time, we publish certain forward-looking information regarding our future anticipated performance, which information may be materially different than our actual future results.
From time to time, we publish certain forward-looking information regarding our future anticipated performance, including guidance with respect to our estimated future revenues and profits. This forward-looking information is not a guaranty and is 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 information. 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 information, such factors include the inherent risks associated with our recent and future acquisitions, our operations, management and other outside competitive and economic influences on our business. Important factors with regard to our recent acquisitions that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations, include but are not limited to: our ability to maintain the future operations of our recently acquired businesses in a manner consistent with their past practices; our recently acquired businesses will be able to maintain and grow their revenues and operating margins in a manner consistent with their most recent results of operations; our ability to integrate the operations of such businesses with our existing operations, as well as our ability to realize expected financial and operational cost and revenue synergies through such integration; our reliance on the acquired management teams and the continued customer relationships provided by the acquired businesses; the effect that these acquisitions will have on their existing customers and employees; the effect that the acquisitions will have on our historic and existing network of locations; and any material adverse change in the composition of their customers. Important additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our ability to: use our Bellevue, Washington operations as a platform upon which we can build a profitable global transportation and supply chain management company; retain and build upon the relationships we have with our agency offices; 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; maintain and enhance the future operations of our company owned operating locations; continue growing our business and maintain historical or increased gross profit margins; locate suitable acquisition opportunities; secure the financing necessary to complete any acquisition opportunities we locate; assess and respond to competitive practices in the industries in which we compete; mitigate, to the best extent possible, our dependence on current management and certain of our larger agency relationships; 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 assess and respond to such other factors that may be identified from time to time in our SEC filings and other public announcements.
Ineffective internal controls could impact our business and operating results.
Our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Even
20
effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None
Our principal executive offices are located at 405 114th Avenue S.E., Third Floor, Bellevue, Washington 98004 and consist of 13,018 feet of office space which we lease for an average of $16,020 per month over the life of the lease expiring May 31, 2021. We also sublease 3,110 feet of office space in the same building for an average of $4,067 per month over the life of the sublease expiring on May 31, 2020. In addition, we lease 92,503 feet of space for our company-owned office in Somerset, New Jersey for an average of $43,816 per month over the life of the lease expiring November 30, 2014. We lease 22,653 feet of space for our company-owned office in Carson, California for an average of $18,250 per month over the life of the lease expiring January 31, 2016. For our former company-owned office in Hawthorne, California, we lease 140,200 of space in two neighboring buildings for an average of $88,403 per month over the life of lease expiring February 29, 2016. The entire facility is subleased for an average of $77,671 per month and expires at the same time. We also have several other locations where we lease an aggregate of 28,070 square feet for an average of $25,695 per month. We believe our current offices are adequately covered by insurance and are sufficient to support our operations for the foreseeable future.
From time to time, the Company and our operating subsidiaries are involved in claims, proceedings and litigation, including the following:
DBA Distribution Services, Inc. Bretta Santini Pollara v. Radiant Logistics, Inc., United States District Court, Central District of California, Case No. 12-344 GAF
In December 2012, we recovered an award in arbitration against the former shareholders of DBA. The award arose out of a prior arbitration action against the former shareholders of DBA in which we asserted, among others, certain claims for indemnification under the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the DBA Agreement) dated March 29, 2011, based upon breaches that we believe occurred under the DBA Agreement. These breaches included, among others, the breach of certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants by Paul Pollara, one of the DBA selling shareholders, and Bretta Santini Pollara, a former DBA employee and wife of Mr. Pollara.
In a related matter, in December 2011, Ms. Pollara filed a claim for declaratory relief against us seeking an order stipulating that she is not bound by the non-compete covenant contained within the DBA Agreement signed by her husband, Mr. Pollara. On January 23, 2012, we filed a counterclaim against Ms. Pollara, her company Santini Productions, Daniel Reffner (a former employee of the Company now working for Ms. Pollara), and Oceanair, Inc. (a company doing business with Santini Productions). Our counterclaim alleges claims for statutory and common law misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of duty of loyalty, and unfair competition, and seeks damages in excess of $500,000. Following certain procedural motions, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, DBA and RGL, intervened and filed a Second Amendment Counterclaim in the lawsuit. After further procedural matters were addressed, the claims that remain at issue are: (1) DBAs statutory trade secret misappropriation claim against Ms. Pollara, Santini Productions, and Oceanair; (2) RGLs and DBAs claims for interference with contractual relations against Oceanair; and (3) RGLs and DBAs claim for inducement to breach contract against Oceanair. The parties are awaiting a trial date.
21
Although the ultimate resolution of this dispute will not likely occur in the near-term, we believe that these breaches will not have any meaningful long-term adverse effect on our overall results of operations given our: (i) efforts to retain existing customers; (ii) restructuring of our Los Angeles operations; and (iii) efforts through a civil proceeding to recover damages and assert legal remedies against Ms. Pollara and her co-defendants who we believe breached certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations to us. Nevertheless, near-term earnings could be negatively impacted if our efforts to retain existing customers are not successful, and as a result of any legal expenses incurred in connection with the matter.
In addition to the foregoing, we are involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are 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 customs and property brokerage, order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing.
We are executing a strategy to expand our operations through a combination of organic growth and the strategic acquisition of non-asset based transportation and logistics providers meeting our acquisition criteria. Our 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 independent agent offices across North America.
We continue to seek additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and have completed seven acquisitions since our acquisition of Airgroup. In November 2007, we acquired certain assets of 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
23
augmenting our overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April 2011, we acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air (DBA), adding an additional 26 locations across North America, further expanding our physical network and service capabilities. In December 2011, we acquired the assets and operations of Laredo, Texas based ISLA International Ltd, (ISLA) to serve as our gateway to Mexico. In February 2012, we acquired the assets and operations of New York-JFK based Brunswicks Logistics, Inc. d/b/a ALBS Logistics, Inc. (ALBS), a strategic location for domestic and international logistics services. In November 2012, we acquired certain assets of Los Angeles, California based Marvir Logistics, Inc., (Marvir) an independent agent, operating partner since 2006 providing domestic and international logistics services. On December 31, 2012, we acquired International Freight Systems of Oregon, Inc. (IFS) an independent operating partner since January 2007 providing domestic and international logistics services.
In connection with our 2008 acquisition of Adcom, we changed the name of Airgroup Corporation to Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. to better position our centralized back-office operations to service our multi-brand network. Today, 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 strategically positioned, company owned and independent agent offices.
Our growth strategy continues to focus on both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. For organic growth, we will focus on strengthening and retaining existing, and expanding new customer agency relationships. Since our acquisition of Airgroup in January 2006, we have focused our efforts on the build-out of our network of independent agency offices, as well as enhancing our back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems. We also continue to search for targets that fit within our acquisition criteria.
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 customers 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 its 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 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
24
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 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 Caltius Financing 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 up to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and, subject to certain sub-limits, 75% of eligible accrued but unbilled receivables and eligible foreign accounts 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.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon managements current judgments. These judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience regarding 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 managements current judgments. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates that affect our financial statements, the areas that are particularly significant 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, and the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
We perform an annual impairment test for goodwill. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors, if further testing is necessary we would go into a 2-step impairment test. The first step of the impairment test requires us to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting units carrying amount. We have only one reporting unit. To the extent a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting units goodwill may be impaired and we must
25
perform a second more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting units fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting units 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 non-compete agreements arising from our acquisitions. Customer related intangibles are amortized using accelerated methods over approximately five years and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreements.
We review 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, 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 or a House Ocean Bill of Lading 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 that would be reported under such other methods.

We generated transportation revenue of $310.8 million and net transportation revenue of $88.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to transportation revenue of $297.0 million and net transportation revenue of $84.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. Domestic and international transportation revenue was $167.4 million and $143.4 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared with $169.2 million and $127.8 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2012. The increase in transportation revenue is due principally to incremental revenues attributed to our acquisitions of ISLA and ALBS.
Cost of transportation was 71.5% of transportation revenue for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Net transportation margins were 28.5% of transportation revenue for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Agent commissions were $52.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 0.1% from $52.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of net revenues, agent commissions decreased to 59.3% for the year ended June 30, 2013, from 61.9% for the year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease as a percentage of net revenues is a result of our recent acquisitions of ISLA, ALBS, Marvir and IFS, which added company-owned locations, which are not paid commissions, in Laredo, New York-JFK, Los Angeles and Portland.
Personnel costs consist of payroll, payroll taxes, benefits and stock compensation expense. Personnel costs were $16.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 22.1% from $13.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to a full year of personnel costs related to our acquisitions of ISLA and ALBS, and a partial year of personnel costs associated with our Marvir and IFS acquisitions, as well as increased head-count at the corporate office. As a percentage of net revenues, personnel costs increased to 18.2% for the year ended June 30, 2013, from 15.6% for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs consist primarily of marketing, rent, professional services, insurance and travel expenses. SG&A costs were $9.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of 13.9% from $11.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease
27
in non-recurring legal expenses incurred in connection with the ISLA and ALBS transactions and the DBA litigation, lower bad debt expense, and savings associated with combining our two company-owned locations in Los Angeles. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A costs decreased to 11.1% for the year ended June 30, 2013, from 13.4% for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Depreciation and amortization costs were $3.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of 25.5% from $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to a full year of amortization costs associated with the intangibles for our ISLA and ALBS acquisitions, and a partial year of amortization of intangibles for our Marvir and IFS acquisitions. As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization increased to 4.5% for the year ended June 30, 2013, from 3.7% for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Transition and lease termination costs for the year ended June 30, 2013 represent non-recurring operating costs incurred in connection with the relocation of the former DBA facility in Los Angeles to a new location, certain personnel costs that were eliminated in connection with the combination of the historical DBA and Marvir locations, and a loss on disposal of furniture and equipment and totaled $1.5 million. Transition and lease termination costs for the year ended June 30, 2012 consist of personnel costs related to employees whose positions were eliminated with our integration of DBA into our operations and totaled $1.0 million. As a percentage of net revenues, non-recurring transition costs increased to 1.7% for the year ended June 30, 2013, from 1.2% for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Change in contingent consideration represents the change in the fair value of contingent consideration due to former shareholders of acquired operations. The change in both years was primarily attributable to ISLA and ALBS not achieving their specified operating objectives and totaled income of $2.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to income of $0.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. As a percentage of net revenues, the change in contingent consideration was 3.2% for the year ended June 30, 2013, from 1.1% for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Income from operations was $7.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to income from operations of $4.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, a 65.6% increase. The increase is attributable to several factors, favorable and unfavorable to the Company. Net revenues increased $3.7 million primarily due to incremental revenues of a full year for our ISLA and ALBS acquisitions. Agent commission expense was flat as the agent-based stores recorded similar results in the current year. Personnel costs increased $2.9 million primarily due to increased personnel costs associated with a full year of recently acquired company-owned stores, ISLA and ALBS, as well as a partial year of personnel costs associated with Marvir and IFS. Selling, general and administrative decreased $1.6 million primarily due to a decrease in non-recurring legal expenses incurred in connection with the ISLA and ALBS transactions and the DBA litigation, lower bad debt expense, and savings associated with combining our two company-owned locations in Los Angeles. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.8 million due to a full year of amortization of intangibles for our ISLA and ALBS acquisitions, and a partial year amortization of intangibles for our Marvir and IFS acquisitions. Transition costs increased $0.5 million due to charges incurred in combining our two company-owned locations in Los Angeles compared to transition costs associated with eliminating personnel costs related to employees whose positions were eliminated with our integration of DBA into our operations. Change in contingent consideration increased $1.9 million as a result of former shareholders of acquired operations not achieving their specified operating objectives.
Other expense was $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, as compared to other expense of $0.9 million during the year ended June 30, 2012. The increase is primarily associated with interest expense incurred with our acquisitions of ISLA, offset by the gain on litigation settlement. As a percentage of net revenues, other expense was 1.5% for the year ended June 30, 2013, up from 1.1% for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Our net income was $3.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, reflecting a 92.4% increase in results of less than $1.8 million as compared to net income of $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2012, driven principally by the increased efficiency of leveraging our scalable back office infrastructure, favorable write-down of
28
contingent consideration, offset by higher depreciation and amortization costs as well as increased lease termination costs.
Driven principally by the increased amortization of intangibles resulting from our recent acquisition activities offset partially by the change from contingent consideration and from the non-recurring items identified below. Our net income for the current year also reflected a decrease in results of operations related to greater transition costs associated with the DBA transaction for the current year as compared to the prior year period, which had only one quarter of transition costs. 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, 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 former DBA shareholders.

Adjusted EBITDA as a % of net transportation revenue |
12.1 | % | 8.9 | % |
We had adjusted EBITDA of $10.7 million and $7.5 million for years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, 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 long-term 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 furniture and equipment, 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. Our ability to generate adjusted EBITDA ultimately limits the amount of debt that we may carry and is a good indicator of our financial flexibility and capacity to complete additional acquisitions in compliance with the Caltius Financing. A violation of this covenant in the Caltius Financing would greatly limit our financial flexibility, reduce available liquidity, and absent a waiver, could give rise to an event of default under the Caltius Financing. For the forgoing reasons, we believe that the Caltius Financing is material to our operations and that adjusted EBITDA is important to an evaluation of our financial condition and liquidity. 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.

Supplemental Pro forma Information
Basis of Presentation
The results of operations discussion that appears below has been presented utilizing a combination of historical and, where relevant, pro forma unaudited information to include the effects on our consolidated financial statements of our acquisitions of ISLA, ALBS, Marvir and IFS. 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 ISLA, ALBS, Marvir and IFS, as if we had acquired all of them as of July 1, 2011. The pro forma results are also adjusted to reflect a consolidation of the historical results of operations of ISLA, ALBS, Marvir and IFS, and the Company as adjusted to reflect the amortization of acquired intangibles.
The pro forma financial data is 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $2.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2012 of $3.6 million. The change was principally driven by an increase in our net income adjusted for amortization, contingent consideration, lease termination costs, and changes in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used for investing activities was $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2013, compared to $11.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. Use of cash in 2013 consisted of $0.7 million related to the acquisitions of Marvir and IFS, the purchase of $0.3 million of fixed assets, and $0.4 million paid in earn-outs to the former shareholders of acquired operations, and the $1.1 million integration payment to the former shareholders of DBA. Use of cash in 2012 consisted of $7.7 million related to the acquisition of ISLA, $2.6 million related to the purchase of ALBS, the purchase of $0.7 million of fixed assets, and $0.5 million paid in earn-outs to the former shareholders of acquired operations.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $0.6 million compared to $7.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2012. Cash from financing activities in 2013 consisted of proceeds from our Credit Facility of $1.4 million, repayments of notes payable to former shareholders of $0.8 million, $0.1 million in non-controlling interest distributions, and proceeds of $0.1 million related to the exercise of stock options. Cash from financing activities in 2012 consisted of repayments to our Credit Facility of $0.6 million and proceeds from the issuance of debt to Caltius of $9.4 million, repayments of notes payable to former shareholders
32
of $0.9 million, $0.2 million in non-controlling interest distributions, and $0.1 million of costs of the shelf registration.
Acquisitions
Below are descriptions of recent material acquisitions 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 $5.0 million or more.
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 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 on the earlier of the date certain integration targets are achieved or 18 months after the closing, payable 50% in cash and 50% in our shares of our common stock (valued at delivery date).
Through the final earn-out period of June 30, 2012, the former Adcom shareholders earned a total of $2,318,365 in base earn-out payments. Of this amount, $1,319,195 was paid in cash and $999,170 was settled in stock through the year ended June 30, 2013.
On April 6, 2011, we closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the DBA Agreement) pursuant to which we 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 offices 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 Companys common stock. The remaining notes payable of $767,091 are payable during the year ending June 30, 2014. The remaining Company notes may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a Corporate Transaction (as defined in notes), which includes a future sale of DBA or the Company, or certain changes in corporate control.
On December 1, 2011, we 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 our 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 $7.657 million paid at closing; (ii) $1.325 million paid through the 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
33
acquired ISLA business unit generating a Modified Gross Profit Contribution (as defined within the Asset Purchase Agreement) of $6.928 million 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 $27.711 million, 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.
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 million paid at closing; (ii) $295,000 paid through the issuance of 142,489 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 $3.325 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.
Credit Facility
In August 2013, we obtained a new Credit Facility, consisting of a $30.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $2.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit and matures on the earlier of 1) six months prior to the December 1, 2016 maturity of the Senior Subordinated Notes, or 2) August 1, 2018. The Credit Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Advances under the Facility are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures, repurchase of Company stock or for other corporate purposes. Borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue interest, at the Companys option, at the banks base prime rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 2.25%. The rates can be subsequently adjusted based on the Companys fixed charge coverage ratio at the Lenders base rate plus 0.0% to 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25%. The Credit Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and provides for advances of up to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and, subject to certain sub-limits, 75% of eligible accrued but unbilled receivables and eligible foreign accounts receivable.
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0 in the event that availability is less than $5.0 million or an Event of Default was to occur.
The co-borrowers of the Credit Facility include Radiant Logistics, Inc., RGL (f/k/a Airgroup Corporation), Radiant Transportation Services (RTS, f/k/a Radiant Logistics Global Services, Inc.), Adcom Express, Inc. (d/b/a Adcom Worldwide), Radiant Customs Services, Inc., DBA (d/b/a Distribution by Air), International Freight Systems (of Oregon), Inc., Radiant Off-Shore Holdings LLC, Green Acquisition Company, Inc. and RLP. RLP is owned 40% by RGL and 60% by Radiant Capital Partners, LLC (RCP), an affiliate of the Companys Chief Executive Officer. 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 Credit 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 Credit Facility, including those advanced to RLP.
As of August 31, 2013, we have gross availability of $27.0 million, net of advances and letter of credit reserves of approximately $7.5 million for approximately $19.2 million in remaining availability under the Credit Facility

to support future acquisitions and our on-going working capital requirements. We expect to structure acquisitions with certain amounts paid at closing, and the balance paid over a number of years in the form of earn-out installments which are payable based upon the future earnings of the acquired businesses payable in cash, stock or some combination thereof. As we continue to execute our acquisition strategy, we will be required to make significant payments in the future if the earn-out installments under our various acquisitions become due. While we believe that a portion of any required cash payments will be generated by the acquired businesses, we may have to secure additional sources of capital to fund the remainder of any cash-based earn-out payments as they become due. This presents us with certain business risks relative to the availability of capacity under our Credit Facility, the availability and pricing of future fund raising, as well as the potential dilution to our stockholders to the extent the earn-outs are satisfied directly, or indirectly, from the sale of equity.
For additional information regarding the Credit Facility, see Note 6 and Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Caltius Senior Subordinated Notes
In connection with our acquisition of ISLA, effective as of December 1, 2011, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Caltius. Under the Investment Agreement, Caltius provided the Company with a $10.0 million aggregate principal amount evidenced by the issuance of 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. We have exercised our option to pay all PIK in cash. The Senior Subordinated Notes are non-amortizing, with all principal due upon maturity at December 1, 2016.
Under the Caltius financing, we are subject to certain financial covenants, including 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 4.00 to 1, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at March 31, 2014 and 3.50 to 1 at March 31, 2015. The second financial covenant limits our ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from BofA and the Senior Subordinated Notes) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 3.50 to 1, reducing to 3.25 to 1 on March 31, 2014 and 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.
Under the Investment Agreement, we also issued 500,000 restricted shares our common stock to Caltius.
For additional information regarding the Caltius Financing, see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this report.
Given our continued focus on the build-out of our network of agency locations, we believe that our current working capital and anticipated cash flow from operations are adequate to fund existing operations for the next 12 months. However, continued growth through strategic acquisitions, will require additional sources of financing as our existing working capital is not sufficient to finance our operations and an acquisition program. Thus, our ability to finance future acquisitions will be limited by the availability of additional capital. We may, however, finance acquisitions using our common stock as all or some portion of the consideration. In the event that our common stock does not attain or maintain a sufficient market value or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept our securities as part of the purchase price for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to utilize more of our cash resources, if available, in order to continue our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources through either operations or from debt facilities, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain such additional capital.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2013, 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.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Based on managements assessment based on the criteria of the COSO, we concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective at the reasonable assurance level.
36
Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures which:
(i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; |

(iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |
Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

INDEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
RADIANT LOGISTICS, INC.
F-1
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
Radiant Logistics, Inc.
Bellevue, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Radiant Logistics, Inc. (the Company) as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income (operations), stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 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 Companys acquisition criteria.
The Companys 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 independent agent offices across North America.
The Company continues to seek additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and has completed seven 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 Companys 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 Companys physical network and service capabilities. In December 2011, the Company acquired Laredo, Texas based ISLA International, Ltd. (ISLA) to serve as the Companys 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 November 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of Los Angeles, California based Marvir Logistics, Inc., (Marvir) an independent operating partner since 2006. On December 31, 2012, the Company acquired International Freight Systems of Oregon, Inc. (IFS) an independent operating partner since January 2007.
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 independent agency offices and international agents positioned strategically around the world.
The Companys growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and growth through acquisitions. For organic growth, the Company will focus on strengthening and retaining existing, and expanding new, customer agency relationships. Since the Companys acquisition of Airgroup in January 2006, the Company has focused its efforts on the build-out of its network of independent 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.
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 Radiant Capital Partners, LLC (RCP, see Note 8), an affiliate of Bohn H. Crain, the Companys Chief Executive Officer, whose accounts are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 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 (GAAP) 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, and the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts. 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 Companys receivables, income tax deposit, accounts payable and accrued transportation costs, commissions payable, other accrued costs, income taxes payable and amounts due to former shareholders of acquired operations approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Companys 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 Companys recent acquisitions of ISLA, ALBS, Marvir and IFS 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 that are not securing any corporate obligations. Checks issued by the Company that have not yet been presented to the bank for payment are reported as accounts payable and commissions payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Accounts payable and commissions payable includes outstanding payments which had not yet been presented to the bank for payment in the amounts of $4,775,189 and $4,275,239 as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
e) | Concentrations |
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
f) | Accounts Receivable |
The Companys receivables are recorded when billed and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Companys receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts,
F-9
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 receivables, historical experience and knowledge of specific customers.
The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue through independently-owned agent offices operating under the various Company brands. Each individual agent office is responsible for some or all of the bad debt expense related to the underlying customers being serviced by the office. To facilitate this arrangement, each office is required to maintain a security deposit with the Company that is recognized as a liability in the Companys financial statements. The Company charges each individual offices 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 offices 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 Companys financial statements. Further, the agency agreements provide that the Company may withhold all or a portion of future commission checks payable to the individual office in satisfaction of any deficit balance. Currently, a number of the Companys agency offices have a deficit balance in their bad debt reserve account. The Company expects to replenish these funds through the future business operations of these offices. However, to the extent any of these offices 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. The Company is currently in collection proceedings against two customers who owe the Company approximately $1.1 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, the Company does not believe its exposure to these customers will be material based upon, among others: (i) the Companys historic collection experience; (ii) the portion of the bad debt recoverable from the individual agency location responsible for the account; and (iii) the anticipated recovery likely from these customers.
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 straight line method of depreciation. 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 |
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business acquired. The Company typically performs its annual goodwill impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that time. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors, the Company determined that no further testing was necessary. If further testing was necessary, the Company would have performed a two-step impairment test for goodwill. The first step requires the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting units carrying amount. The Company has only one reporting unit. To the extent a reporting units carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting units goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second
F-10
more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting units fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. As of June 30, 2013, management believes there are no indications of impairment.
The table below reflects changes in goodwill for the years ending June 30:

i) | Long-Lived Assets |
Acquired intangibles consist of customer related intangibles and non-compete agreements arising from the Companys acquisitions. Customer related intangibles are amortized using accelerated methods over approximately five years and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreements.
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 June 30, 2013.
j) | Business Combinations |
The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting and allocates the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
The fair values of intangible assets acquired are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs. Under this method, an intangible assets 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 uses 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 reflects market participant assumptions.
F-11
The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration payable based on the likelihood of paying the contingent consideration as part of the consideration transferred. The fair value is estimated using projected future operating results and the corresponding future earn-out payments that can be earned upon the achievement of specified operating objectives and financial results by our acquired companies using Level 3 inputs and the amounts are then discounted to present value. These liabilities are measured quarterly at fair value, and any change in the contingent liability is included in the consolidated statements of income.
k) | 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. Rent expense is recognized straight line over the term of the lease. Minimum future lease payments (excluding the lease termination liability) under these non-cancelable operating leases for the next five fiscal years ending June 30 and thereafter are as follows:
2014 |
$ | 1,284,589 | ||
2015 |

|
|
Rent expense amounted to $1,895,590 and $2,025,548 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
l) | Lease Termination Costs |
Lease termination costs consist of expenses related to future rent payments for which we no longer intend to receive any economic benefit. A liability is recorded when we cease to use leased space. Lease termination costs are calculated as the present value of lease payments, net of expected sublease income, and the loss on disposition of assets. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a lease termination liability of $1,334,490 related to the lease termination, and paid $674,349 of the liability.
m) | 401(k) Savings Plan |
The Company has an employee savings plan under which the Company provides safe harbor matching contributions. During the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Companys contributions under the plans were $266,788 and $176,855, respectively.
n) | Income Taxes |
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
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.
F-12
o) | Revenue Recognition and Purchased Transportation Costs |
The Company is the primary obligor responsible for providing the service desired by the customer and is responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the service(s) ordered or purchased by the customer. At the Companys sole discretion, it sets the prices charged to its customers, and is not required to obtain approval or consent from any other party in establishing its prices. The Company has multiple suppliers for the services it sells to its customers, and has the absolute and complete discretion and right to select the supplier that will provide the product(s) or service(s) ordered by a customer, including changing the supplier on a shipment-by-shipment basis. In most cases, the Company determines the nature, type, characteristics, and specifications of the service(s) ordered by the customer. The Company also assumes credit risk for the amount billed to the customer.
As a non-asset based carrier, the Company does not own transportation assets. The Company generates the major portion of its freight forwarding 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 or a House Ocean Bill of Lading are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin net of taxes. 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.
This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under GAAP which does not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognizes revenue as progress on the transit is made. The Companys 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 brokerage, warehousing and fulfillment services, is recognized upon completion of the service.
p) | Share-Based Compensation |
The Company has issued restricted stock awards and stock options to certain directors, officers and employees. 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 Companys results of operations could be materially impacted. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy exercises and vesting of awards granted under our stock plan.
The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $369,351 and $225,991 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
q) | 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 awards and stock options, had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
For the year ended June 30, 2013, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 35,690,119 shares of common stock, including unvested restricted stock awards and options to purchase 5,255,781 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2013, of which 1,334,522 were excluded as their
F-13
effect would have been antidilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2012, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 35,113,021 shares of common stock, including options to purchase 4,873,174 shares of common stock as of June 30, 2012, of which 1,190,803 were excluded as their effect would have been antidilutive.
The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for earnings per share as follows:

NOTE 3 BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
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 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.
Through the final earn-out period ended June 30, 2012, the former Adcom shareholders earned a total of $2,318,365 in base earn-out payments. Of this amount, $1,319,195 was paid in cash and $999,170 was settled in stock.
Acquisition of DBA Distribution Services, Inc.
On April 6, 2011, the Company closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the DBA Agreement) pursuant to which the Company acquired 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 offices 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 (see Note 6), and $1.8 million payable in cash in connection with the achievement of certain integration milestones, which was partially offset by damage awards in favor of the Company under an arbitration action between the Company and the former shareholders of DBA.
F-14
In February 2012, the Company initiated an arbitration action asserting claims for indemnification against the former shareholders of DBA under the DBA Agreement. In December 2012, an arbitrator awarded the Company net damages of $698,623 from the former shareholders of DBA, finding that the former shareholders breached certain representations and warranties contained in the DBA Agreement. The award also provided that the former DBA shareholders and Mr. Pollara must pay the Companys administrative fees, compensation and expenses of the arbitrator associated with the arbitration. The award has been off-set against amounts due to former shareholders of acquired operations. The gain on litigation settlement was recorded net of judgment interest and associated legal costs (see Note 12).
The Company incurred $1,018,298 of non-recurring transition and lease termination costs for the year ended June 30, 2012, consisting principally of personnel, general and administrative costs that were eliminated in connection with the winding down of DBAs historical back-office operations and transitioning them to the corporate headquarters. These costs are reported as a separate line item on the face of the Companys consolidated statements of income.
Acquisition of ISLA International, Ltd.
On December 1, 2011, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, RGL, the Company acquired the operations and substantially all of the assets of Laredo, Texas based 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 serves as the Companys gateway to the Mexico markets. The transaction was structured as an asset purchase and valued at up to approximately $14.957 million, consisting of $7.657 million paid in cash at closing, $1.325 million paid through the issuance of the Companys common stock, and up to $5.975 million in aggregate earn-out payments covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing. The various earn-out payments shall be made in a combination of cash and common stock, as the Company may elect to satisfy up to 25% of each of the earn-out payments through the issuance of its common stock valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares.
Acquisition of Brunswicks Logistics, Inc.
On February 27, 2012, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, RGL, the Company acquired the operations and substantially all of the assets of New York based 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 $2.655 million paid in cash at closing, $295,000 paid through the issuance of the Companys common stock, and up to $4.325 million in aggregate earn-out payments covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing.
Fiscal Year 2013 Acquisitions
During fiscal year 2013, the Company made two business acquisitions. Effective November 1, 2012, we acquired the assets and operations of our Los Angeles, California operating partner Marvir. Effective December 31, 2012, we acquired the stock of our Portland, Oregon operating partner IFS. The acquisition date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

Bank of America Credit Facility
As of June 30, 2013, the Company has a $20.0 million senior credit facility (the Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A. (the Lender). The Credit Facility includes a $1.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit and matures November 30, 2014, however was refinanced subsequent to year end (see Note 14). Borrowings accrue interest, at the Companys option, at the Lenders prime rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75% to 3.00%, and can be adjusted based on the Companys performance relative to certain financial covenants. The Credit Facility is collateralized by the Companys accounts receivable and other assets of its subsidiaries.
The available borrowing amount is limited to up to 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 60% of eligible foreign accounts receivable, and is available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes. The terms of the Credit Facility are subject to customary financial and operational covenants, including covenants that may limit or restrict the ability to, among other things, borrow under the Credit facility, incur indebtedness from other lenders, and make acquisitions. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.
The Company had $8,601,189 and $7,159,159 in advances under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
As of June 30, 2013, based on available collateral and $286,800 in outstanding letter of credit commitments, there was $11,112,011 available for borrowing under the Credit Facility based on advances outstanding.
Caltius Senior Subordinated Notes
In connection with the Companys acquisition of ISLA, 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.
The terms of the Investment Agreement are subject to customary financial and operational covenants, including covenants that may limit or restrict the ability to, among other things, incur indebtedness from other lenders, and make acquisitions. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants under the Investment Agreement.
DBA Notes Payable
In connection with the DBA acquisition, 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 quarterly. The Company elected to satisfy $2.4 million of the notes through the issuance of the Companys common stock. The principal amount of the notes is payable annually on April 6 with the final installment due in fiscal year 2014.
NOTE 7 STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value at $.001 per share. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, none of the shares were issued or outstanding.

NOTE 8 VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
RLP is owned 40% by RGL and 60% by RCP, a company for which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the sole member. RLP is a certified minority business enterprise that was formed for the purpose of providing the Company with a national accounts strategy to pursue corporate and government accounts with diversity initiatives. RCPs ownership interest entitles it to a majority 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 and participating in supplier diversity programs not otherwise available to the Company. 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 enterprises, particularly as many of the Companys 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.
Certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have the sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties are considered variable interest entities. RLP qualifies as a variable interest entity and is included in the Companys consolidated financial statements.
For the year ended June 30, 2013, RLP recorded $179,954 in profits, of which RCPs distributable share was $107,972. For the year ended June 30, 2012, RLP recorded $296,323 in profits, of which Mr. Crains distributable share was $177,794. The non-controlling interest recorded as a reduction of income on the consolidated statements of income represents RCPs distributive share.

NOTE 9 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Level 3 | Total | |||||||
Contingent consideration |
$ | 6,200,000 | $ | 6,200,000 |
The Company has contingent obligations to transfer cash payments and equity shares to former shareholders of acquired operations in conjunction with certain acquisitions if specified operating results and financial objectives are met over the next three fiscal years. Contingent consideration is measured quarterly at fair value, and any change in the contingent liability is included in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded a decrease to contingent consideration of $2,825,000 and $900,000 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily for the ISLA and ALBS acquisitions. The reductions in contingent consideration were a result of the acquisitions not meeting their anticipated financial targets and additionally managements judgment surrounding the projected future operating results of the acquired businesses relative to the specified operating objectives and financial targets associated with earn-outs in their respective agreements.
The Company uses projected future financial results based on recent and historical data to value the anticipated future earn-out payments. To calculate fair value, the future earn-out payments were then discounted using Level 3 inputs. The Company has classified the contingent consideration as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs. The Company believes the discount rate used to discount the earn-out payments reflects market participant assumptions. Changes in assumptions and operating results could have a significant impact on the earn-out amount, up to a maximum of $11,800,000 through earn-out periods measured through February 2016.

NOTE 11 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company has two stock-based plans: the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (2005 Plan) and the 2012 Stock Option and Performance Award Plan (2012 Plan).

The plans provide for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, shares of restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares and performance units. Options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant and have a term of 10 years. Generally, grants under each plan vest 20% annually over a five year period from the date of grant.
Stock Awards
The Company granted restricted stock awards to certain employees in August 2012. The shares are restricted in transferability for a term of up to five years and are forfeited in the event the employee terminates employment prior to the lapse of the restriction.

NOTE 12 CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
In December 2012, an arbitrator awarded the Company net damages of $698,623 from the former shareholders of DBA, finding that the former shareholders breached certain representations and warranties contained in the DBA Agreement. In addition, the arbitrator found that Paul Pollara breached his noncompetition obligation to the Company and enjoined Mr. Pollara from engaging in any activity in contravention of his obligations of noncompetition and non-solicitation, including activities that relate to Santini Productions and his spouse, Bretta Santini Pollara until March 2016. The award also provided that the former DBA Shareholders and Mr. Pollara must pay to the Company the administrative fees, compensation and expenses of the arbitrator associated with the arbitration. The award has been off-set against amounts due to former shareholders of acquired operations. The gain on litigation settlement was recorded net of judgment interest and associated legal costs.
In a related matter, in December 2011, Ms. Pollara filed a claim for declaratory relief against the Company seeking an order stipulating that she is not bound by the non-compete covenant contained within the DBA Agreement signed by her husband, Mr. Pollara. On January 23, 2012, the Company filed a counterclaim against Ms. Pollara, her company Santini Productions, Daniel Reffner (a former employee of the Company now working for Ms. Pollara), and Oceanair, Inc. (Oceanair, a company doing business with Santini Productions). The Companys counterclaim alleges claims for statutory and common law misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of duty of loyalty, and unfair competition, and seeks damages in excess of $500,000. Following certain procedural motions, two of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, DBA and RGL, intervened and filed a Second Amendment Counterclaim in the lawsuit. After further procedural matters were addressed, the claims that remain at issue are: (1) DBAs statutory trade secret misappropriation claim against Ms. Pollara, Santini Productions, and Oceanair; (2) RGLs and DBAs claims for interference with contractual relations against Oceanair; and (3) RGLs and DBAs claim for inducement to breach contract against Oceanair. The parties are awaiting a trial date.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Contingent Consideration and Earn-out Payments
The Companys agreements with respect to the acquisitions of ISLA, ALBS, Marvir and IFS (see Note 3) contain future consideration provisions which provide for the selling shareholder(s) to receive additional consideration if specified operating objectives and financial results are achieved in future periods, as defined in their respective agreements. Any changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in the consolidated statements of income. Earn-out payments are generally due annually on November 1, and 90 days following the quarter of the final earn-out period for each respective acquisition.

NOTE 14 SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On August 9, 2013, the Company secured a new $30.0 million senior credit facility (the Subsequent Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A. (the Lender) to replace the existing $20.0 million Credit Facility. The Subsequent Credit Facility includes a $2.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit and matures the earlier of 1) six months prior to the December 1, 2016 maturity of the Senior Subordinated Notes, or 2) August 1, 2018.
Through the first anniversary of the Subsequent Credit Facility, borrowings accrue interest, at the Companys option, at the Lenders base prime rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 2.25%. The rates can be subsequently adjusted based on the Companys fixed charge coverage ratio at the Lenders base rate plus 0.0% to 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25%. The Subsequent Credit Facility is collateralized by the Companys accounts receivable and other assets of its subsidiaries.
The available borrowing amount is limited to 85% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and, subject to certain sub-limits, 75% of eligible accrued but unbilled receivables and eligible foreign accounts receivables. Borrowings are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures, repurchase of Company stock or for other corporate purposes. The terms of the Subsequent Credit Facility are subject to customary financial and operational covenants, including covenants that may limit or restrict the ability to, among other things, borrow under the Subsequent Credit Facility, incur indebtedness from other lenders, and make acquisitions.
