Significant
Accounting Policies

Basis
of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements of Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc.
(we, us, our or the
Company) have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) and in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in
annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to those rules and regulations. However, we believe
that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.
The Company provides premium transportation and logistics
services to thousands of customers primarily through its three
wholly owned subsidiaries: (1) Express-1, Inc.
(Express-1) which provides time critical expedited
transportation to its customers; (2) Concert Group
Logistics, Inc. (CGL) which provides freight
forwarding services through a chain of independently owned
stations located throughout the United States; and
(3) Bounce Logistics, Inc. (Bounce) which
provides premium truckload brokerage transportation services to
customers throughout the United States. For specific financial
information relating to these subsidiaries refer to
Note 6 Operating Segments.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect, in our opinion, all material adjustments (which include
only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present
our financial position as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 and results of operations for the three-
and six- month periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial
statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been
prepared on the basis of the most current and best available
information and actual results could differ materially from
those estimates.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010 included in Exhibit 99.1 to our
Current Report on
Form 8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(theSEC) on August 15, 2011 and available on
the SECs website (www.sec.gov). Results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for a full year.
Revenue
Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time delivery is
completed on the freight shipments it handles; with related
costs of delivery being accrued as incurred and expensed within
the same period in which the associated revenue is recognized.
The Company uses the following supporting criteria to determine
that revenue has been earned and should be recognized:
|
|
|
|
|
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
|
|
|
|
Services have been rendered;
|
|
|
|
The sales price is fixed and determinable; and
|
|
|
|
Collectability is reasonably assured.
|
The Company reports revenue on a gross basis in accordance with
the Financial Accounting Standards Boards
(FASB) Accounting Standard Codification
(ASC) Topic 605, Reporting Revenue Gross as
Principal Versus Net as an Agent, and, as such,
presentation on a gross basis is required as:
|
|
|
|
|
The Company is the primary obligor and is responsible for
providing the service desired by the customer;
|
7
|
|
|
|
|
The customer holds the Company responsible for fulfillment
including the acceptability of the service. (Requirements may
include, for example, on-time delivery, handling freight loss
and damage claims, establishing
pick-up and
delivery times, and tracing shipments in transit.);
|
|
|
|
For Express-1 and Bounce, the Company has complete discretion to
select its drivers, contractors or other transportation
providers (collectively, service providers). For
CGL, the Company enters into agreements with significant service
providers that specify the cost of services, among other things
and has ultimate authority in providing approval for all service
providers that can be used by CGL independently owned stations.
Independently owned stations may further negotiate the cost of
services with CGL approved service providers for individual
customer shipments;
|
|
|
|
Express-1 and Bounce have complete discretion to establish sales
prices. Independently owned stations within CGL have the
discretion to establish sales prices; and
|
|
|
|
The Company bears credit risk for all receivables. In the case
of CGL, the independently owned stations reimburse CGL for a
portion (typically
70-80%) of
credit losses. CGL retains the risk that the independent station
owners will not meet this obligation.
|
Stock-Based
Compensation
The Company has in place a stock option plan approved by the
stockholders of the Company for up to 5,600,000 shares of
its common stock. Through the plan, the Company offers stock
options to employees and directors.
Options generally become fully vested three to five years from
the date of grant and expire five to ten years from the grant
date. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the
Company granted 200,000 options to purchase shares of its common
stock while cancelling or retiring 11,000 options in the same
period. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2010,
the Company granted 450,000 options to purchase shares of its
common stock while cancelling or retiring 152,000 options in the
same period. As of June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010,
the Company had 2,693,000 and 3,114,000 options outstanding,
respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had an
additional 1,933,000 options available for future grants under
the existing plan. During the life of the plan 974,000 stock
options have been exercised.
The weighted-average fair value of each stock option recorded in
expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model and amortized over the requisite service period of
the underlying options. The Company has used one grouping for
the assumptions, as its option grants have similar
characteristics. The expected term of options granted has been
derived based upon the Companys history of actual exercise
behavior and represents the period of time that options granted
are expected to be outstanding. Historical data was also used to
estimate option exercises and employee terminations. Estimated
volatility is based upon the Companys historical market
price at consistent points in a period equal to the expected
life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the
U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant
and the dividend yield is zero.

Estimated remaining compensation expense related to existing
stock-based plans is $82,000, $129,000 and $59,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
As of June 30, 2011, the aggregate intrinsic value of
options outstanding was $5.1 million and the aggregate
intrinsic value of options exercisable was $4.1 million. As
of June 30, 2010, the aggregate intrinsic value of options
outstanding was $525,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of
options exercisable was $441,000.
501,000 options were exercised during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2011 and 327,000 options were exercised
during the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. Cash
proceeds received from the exercise of options for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $727,000 and
$409,000, respectively.
Use of
Estimates
The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These principles
require management to make estimates and assumptions that impact
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company
reviews its estimates, including but not limited to: accrued
revenue, purchased transportation, recoverability of long-lived
assets, accrual of acquisition earn-outs, estimated legal
accruals, valuation allowances for deferred taxes, reserve for
uncertain tax positions, and allowance for doubtful accounts, on
a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical
experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These
evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as
information is available. Management believes that these
estimates are reasonable and have been discussed with the audit
committee; however, actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Income
Taxes
Taxes on income are provided in accordance with ASC Topic 740,
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been reflected in the condensed
consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on the differences between the
book values and the tax basis of particular assets and
liabilities, and the tax effects of net
9
operating loss and capital loss carry forwards. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period
that included the enactment date. A valuation allowance is
provided to offset the net deferred tax assets if, based upon
the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or
all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company
has evaluated its tax position and concluded no valuation
allowance on its deferred tax assets is required, as of
June 30, 2011. For state tax purposes, as of June 30,
2011, the net operating loss carry forward was approximately
$1,500,000.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes is determined based
on ASC Topic 740, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in a companys financial
statements and provides guidance on the financial statement
recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides
guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and
transition. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has accrued
$200,000 for certain potential state income taxes.
Goodwill
and Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives
Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of
net assets acquired in business combinations. Intangible assets
with indefinite lives consist principally of the Express-1 and
CGL trade names. The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic
350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other,
which requires an annual impairment test for goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives. If the carrying value
of intangibles with indefinite lives exceeds their fair value,
an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that
excess. Goodwill is evaluated using a two-step impairment test
at the reporting unit level. The first step compares the book
value of a reporting unit, including goodwill, with its fair
value. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair
value, we complete the second step in order to determine the
amount of goodwill impairment loss that we should record. In the
second step, we determine an implied fair value of the reporting
units goodwill by allocating the fair value of the
reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities other than
goodwill. The amount of impairment is equal to the excess of the
book value of goodwill over the implied fair value of that
goodwill. The Company performs the annual impairment testing
during the third quarter unless events or circumstances indicate
impairment of the goodwill may have occurred before that time.
For the periods presented, we did not recognize any goodwill
impairment as the estimated fair value of our reporting units
with goodwill significantly exceeded the book value of these
reporting units.
The Companys trade name intangible assets with indefinite
lives totaled $6.4 million as of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010 and represented 11.5% of total assets as
of June 30, 2011 and 11.3% of total assets as of
December 31, 2010.
Identified
Intangible Assets
The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 360,
Property, Plant and Equipment, which
establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews
long-lived assets to be
held-and-used
for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash
flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group
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 group 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. During the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, there was no impairment of the
identified intangible assets.
The Companys intangible assets subject to amortization
consist of trade names, employee contracts, non-compete
agreements, customer relationships and other intangibles that
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of the related intangible asset. The estimated useful
lives of the respective intangible assets range from four to
12 years.
10
Other
Long-Term Assets
Other long-term assets consist primarily of balances
representing various deposits, the long term portion of the
Companys non-qualified deferred compensation plan and
notes receivable from various CGL independent station owners.
Also included within this account classification are incentive
payments to independent station owners within the CGL network.
These payments are made by CGL to certain station owners as an
incentive to join the network. These amounts are amortized over
the life of each independent station contract and the
unamortized portion is recoverable in the event of default under
the terms of the agreements.
Fair
Value Measurements
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date and classifies the inputs used to
measure fair value into the following hierarchy:
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices for identical instruments
in active markets;
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Quoted prices for similar instruments
in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived
valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in
active markets; and
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Valuations based on inputs that are
unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other
valuation techniques that reflect managements judgment and
estimates.
|
Estimated
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The aggregate net fair value estimates discussed herein are
based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information
available to management. The respective carrying value of
certain financial instruments approximated their fair values.
These financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable,
notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and
short-term borrowings. Fair values approximate carrying values
for these financial instruments since they are short-term in
nature and they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair
value of the Companys long-term debt and CGL notes
receivable approximated their respective carrying values based
on the interest rates associated with these instruments.
Earnings
per Share
Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with ASC
Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires
companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share.
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
income by the combined weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during
the period.

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be a party
to a variety of legal actions. The Company does not currently
anticipate any of these matters or any matters in the aggregate
to have a materially adverse effect on the Companys
business or its financial position or results of operations.
The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance
policies that it deems sufficient to cover potential legal
claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations
as a transportation company. In the event the Company is
required to satisfy a legal claim in excess of the coverage
provided by this insurance, the cash flows and earnings of the
Company could be negatively impacted.
Long-Term
Debt and Capital Leases
The Company enters into long-term debt and capital leases with
various third parties from time to time to finance certain
operational equipment and other assets used in its business
operations. The Company also uses financing for acquisitions and
business start ups, among other things. Generally, these loans
and capital leases bear interest at market rates, and are
collateralized with accounts receivable, equipment and certain
assets of the Company.
The following table outlines the Companys debt obligations
as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Revolving
Credit Facility
|
Line
of Credit
On March 31, 2011, the Company amended the credit agreement
governing the Companys revolving credit facility and the
term loan described in Note 3 above to extend the maturity
date of the revolving credit facility to March 31, 2013 and
to eliminate the receivables borrowing base limitation
previously applicable to the revolving credit facility. The
revolving credit facility continues to provide for a line of
credit of up to $10.0 million. The Company may draw upon
this line of credit up to $10.0 million, less amounts
outstanding under letters of credit. The proceeds of the line of
credit will be used exclusively for working capital purposes.
Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as
collateral securing the Companys performance under the
revolving credit facility and term loan. The revolving credit
facility bears interest based at the one-month LIBOR plus a
current increment of 175 basis points (1.94% as of
June 30, 2011).
The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility and
the term loan contains certain covenants related to the
Companys financial performance. Included among the
covenants are a fixed charge coverage ratio and a total funded
debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ratio. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in
compliance with all terms under the credit agreement and no
events of default existed under the terms of this agreement.
12
The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of
$410,000 at each of June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010 related to insurance policies either continuing in force or
recently cancelled. Amounts outstanding for letters of credit
reduce the amount available under the revolving credit facility,
on a
dollar-for-dollar
basis.
Available capacity in excess of outstanding borrowings under the
line of credit was approximately $9.6 million and
$6.8 million as of June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and
December 31, 2010, the line of credit balance was $0 and
$2,749,000, respectively.

Party Transactions

In January 2008, in conjunction with the acquisition of CGL, the
Company entered into a lease for approximately 6,000 square
feet of office space located within an office complex at 1430
Branding Avenue, Downers Grove, Illinois 60515. The building is
owned by an Illinois limited liability company, which has within
its ownership group Daniel Para, the President of CGL. On
June 11, 2011, the Company amended this lease to extend the
term of the lease by one year, through December 31, 2013.
On August 1, 2011, the Company amended this lease to expand
the office space to approximately 7,425 square feet. The
amended lease calls for rent payments of $114,000, $132,000 and
$133,000 for the years ending December 31, 2011, 2012 and
2013, respectively.
In March 2010, the Company issued a promissory note to an
employee for $150,000. The note accrues interest at
5.5 percent per annum, and is collateralized by a mortgage
on real property. The note has no stated maturity, however, the
note and accrued interest are payable in full to the Company
upon termination of the employees employment. The note and
accrued interest will be paid by the employee in the form of
performance bonuses in the future. As of June 30, 2011 the
note had an outstanding balance of $135,000, of which
approximately $15,000 was classified as a current note
receivable based on the expected bonus to be paid to the
employee in 2012, and approximately $120,000 was classified as a
long-term note receivable.
The above transactions are not necessarily indicative of
amounts, terms and conditions that the Company may have received
in transactions with unrelated third parties.
The Company has three reportable segments based on the type of
service provided to its customers:
Express-1, Inc. provides time critical
expedited transportation to its customers. This typically
involves dedicating one truck and driver to a load which has a
specified time delivery requirement. Most of the services
provided are completed through a fleet of exclusive use vehicles
that are owned and operated by independent contract drivers. The
use of non-owned resources to provide transportation services
minimizes the amount of capital investment required and is often
described with the terms non-asset or
asset-light.
Concert Group Logistics, Inc. provides
freight forwarding services through a chain of independently
owned stations located throughout the United States, along with
our two CGL-owned branches. These stations are responsible for
selling and operating freight forwarding transportation services
within their geographic area under the authority of CGL. In
October of 2009, certain assets and liabilities of LRG
International Inc. (LRG) were purchased to
complement the operations of CGL.
Bounce Logistics, Inc. provides premium
truckload brokerage transportation services to its customers
throughout the United States.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same
as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies. The Company evaluates performance based on operating
income of the respective reportable segments.

Proposed
Equity Investment
On June 13, 2011, the Company entered into an Investment
Agreement (the Investment Agreement) with Jacobs
Private Equity, LLC (JPE) and the other investors
party thereto (including by joinders thereto) (collectively with
JPE, the Investors), providing for an aggregate
investment by the Investors of up to $150 million in cash
in the Company, including amounts payable upon exercise of the
warrants described below. The Investment Agreement has been
approved by the Companys Board of Directors, acting upon
the unanimous recommendation of a special committee composed of
independent directors. Following the closing of the transactions
contemplated by the Investment Agreement, JPE will be the
controlling stockholder of the Company, and Bradley Jacobs, the
Managing Member of JPE, will become Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company. Mr. Jacobs will also become the
Companys Chief Executive Officer following the closing.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement,
upon the closing, the Company will issue to the Investors, for
$75,000,000 in cash, (i) an aggregate of 75,000 shares
of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of the
Company (the Preferred Stock) and (ii) warrants
to purchase 42,857,143 shares of common stock of the
Company (subject to adjustment in connection with the
contemplated reverse stock split described below) (the
Warrants, and together with the Preferred Stock, the
Securities). We refer to this investment as the
Equity Investment.
14
The descriptions of the Equity Investment and the Investment
Agreement and the related Exhibits contained herein are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the Investment
Agreement and the Exhibits thereto, copies of which are filed as
Exhibit 2.1 to this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
and incorporated by reference herein.
The authorized preferred stock of the Company consists of
10,000,000 shares, but none of those shares have been
issued or designated. In connection with the Equity Investment,
the Company will file a Certificate of Designation of
Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, designating
the 75,000 shares of Preferred Stock for issuance to JPE
and the other Investors upon the closing of the Equity
Investment.
The Preferred Stock will have an initial liquidation preference
of $1,000 per share, for an aggregate initial liquidation
preference of $75,000,000. The Preferred Stock will be
convertible at any time, in whole or in part and from time to
time, at the option of the holder thereof into a number of
shares of Company common stock equal to the then-applicable
liquidation preference divided by the conversion price, which
shall initially be $1.75 per share of Company common stock
(before giving effect to the contemplated 4:1 reverse stock
split referred to below, and subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments), for an effective initial aggregate conversion rate
of 42,857,143 shares of Company common stock. The Preferred
Stock will pay quarterly cash dividends equal to the greater of
(i) the as-converted dividends on the
underlying Company common stock for the relevant quarter and
(ii) 4% of the then-applicable liquidation preference per
annum. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any quarter will accrete
to liquidation preference for all purposes. The Preferred Stock
is not redeemable or subject to any required offer to purchase,
and will vote together with the Companys common stock on
an as-converted basis on all matters, except as
otherwise required by law, and separately as a class with
respect to certain matters implicating the rights of holders of
shares of Preferred Stock.
Each Warrant will initially be exercisable at any time and from
time to time from the closing date until the tenth anniversary
of the closing date, at the option of the holder thereof, into
one share of Company common stock at an initial exercise price
of $1.75 in cash per share of Company common stock (before
giving effect to the contemplated 4:1 reverse stock split
referred to below, and subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments). The initial aggregate number of shares of Company
common stock subject to Warrants will be 42,857,143 shares.
In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, the
common stock of the Company will undergo a 4:1 reverse stock
split. Giving effect to such reverse stock split, the Preferred
Stock will have a conversion price of $7.00 per share of Company
common stock. Also giving effect to such split, the Warrants
will have an exercise price of $7.00 per share of Company common
stock, and the aggregate number of shares of Company common
stock subject to the Warrants will be 10,714,286 shares.
The closing of the Equity Investment is subject to the approval
by the stockholders of the Company of (i) the Equity
Investment as required by NYSE Amex Rule 713, (ii) an
amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Company
providing for, among other things, an increase in the number of
authorized shares of Company common stock and the reverse stock
split described above and (iii) a new incentive
compensation plan to be entered into in connection with the
Equity Investment. The closing of the Equity Investment is
further subject to other customary closing conditions. The
Company has scheduled a special meeting of its stockholders for
September 1, 2011, at which time the Companys
stockholders of record as of the close of business on
August 1, 2011 will have the opportunity to vote on the
foregoing proposals, as well as a proposal to change the
Companys name to XPO Logistics, Inc. A
definitive proxy statement with respect to the special meeting
was filed with the SEC on August 3, 2011.
The Company estimates direct incremental costs associated with
the Equity Investment will be approximately $3,600,000 if the
closing of the Equity Investment occurs and estimates the direct
incremental costs will be between approximately $650,000 and
$5,500,000 if the closing of the Equity Investment does not
occur, depending on certain other circumstances. Included in the
estimated direct incremental costs is $1,000,000 in professional
service fees which the Company may be obligated to reimburse JPE
in the event the closing of the Equity Investment occurs and in
certain other circumstances as specifically described in
Section 5.04(a) of the Investment Agreement. Also included
in the estimated direct incremental costs is an estimated
$450,000 in professional service fees, for which JPE may be
obligated to reimburse the Company in the event the closing of
the Equity Investment does not occur under certain circumstances
as specifically described in Section 5.04(a) of the
Investment Agreement. In addition, included in the upper range
of the estimated direct incremental costs of $5,500,000 in the
event the closing of the
15
Equity Investment does not occur is a termination fee of up to
$3,374,000 which the Company may be obligated to pay upon
termination of the Investment Agreement in connection with a
Superior Proposal (as defined in the Investment Agreement) to
acquire 100% of the Company and in certain other circumstances
as specifically described in Section 5.04(b) of the
Investment Agreement. The direct incremental costs incurred to
date of approximately $440,000 have been included in the
Companys selling, general and administrative expenses in
the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations
as of June 30, 2011.
Employment

On July 18, 2011, the Company and John D. Welch, the
Companys Chief Financial Officer, amended his employment

and of no further force or effect if the Investment Agreement,
described above, is terminated prior to the closing of the

Cause or (c) any financial restatement or
material loss to the Company to which Mr. Welch materially
contributed due to fraud or willful misconduct; and
(vi) the modification of the definition of Good
Reason to provide that Good Reason will also exist if the
Company replaces Mr. Welch as Chief Financial Officer. This

the Equity Investment, provides for an increase in his salary
from $160,000 to $180,000, and specifies the amount and terms of
his existing 2011 bonus opportunity.

as of July 1, 2008, July 14, 2010 and June 10,
2011. The amendment is effective as of July 18, 2011, but
will be null and void and of no further force or effect if the
Investment Agreement, described above, is terminated prior to
the closing of the Equity Investment. The significant terms of
this amendment include: (i) the acceleration upon the
closing of the Equity Investment of the vesting of all
outstanding unvested options held by Mr. Welch that were

vested or unvested) in the event of (a) a breach of the
restrictive covenants, (b) a termination by the Company for
Cause or (c) any financial restatement or
material loss to the Company to which Mr. Welch materially
contributed due to fraud or willful misconduct. This amendment

Forward-Looking Statements. This Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of
historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this
Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
which address activities, events or developments that the
Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future,
including such things as future capital expenditures (including
the amount and nature thereof), finding suitable merger or
acquisition candidates, expansion and growth of the
Companys business and operations, the proposed Equity
Investment and other such matters, are forward-looking
statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions
and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and
its perception of historical trends, current conditions and
expected future developments as well as other factors it
believes are appropriate in the circumstances. In some cases,
readers can identify forward-looking statements by the use of
forward-looking terms such as may, will,
should, expect, intend,
plan, anticipate, believe,
estimate, predict, potential
or continue or the negative of these terms or other
comparable terms.
Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could adversely affect actual results
and performance include, among others, potential fluctuations in
quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation,
technology change, competition and the possibility that the
closing of the Equity Investment may not occur. Consequently,
all of the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly
Report on
Form 10-Q
are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no
assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by
the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized,
that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on
the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes
no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements
in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions. In certain circumstances, those estimates and
assumptions can affect amounts reported in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. We have made our
best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the
financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality.
We do not believe there is a great likelihood that materially
different amounts will be reported related to the accounting
policies described below. However, application of these
accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of
assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual
results could differ from these estimates. Note 1 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
consolidated financial statements included in Exhibit 99.1
to our Current Report on
Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on August 15, 2011, includes a summary
of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report
on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2010 includes a summary of
our critical accounting policies. For the period ended
June 30, 2011, there were no significant changes to our
critical accounting policies.
New
Pronoucements
The Companys management does not believe that any recent
codified pronouncements by the FASB will have a material impact
on the Companys current or future consolidated financial
statements.
Executive
Summary
Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc. (the Company,
we, our and us), a Delaware
corporation, is a transportation services organization focused
upon premium logistics solutions provided through its non-asset
based or asset-light operating units. The Companys
operations are provided through three distinct but complementary
operating divisions, each with its own President. Our wholly
owned subsidiaries include Express-1, Inc.
17
(Express-1),
Concert Group Logistics, Inc. (CGL) and Bounce
Logistics, Inc. (Bounce). These operating divisions
are more fully outlined in the following table.

Express-1 and CGL were both existing companies acquired as part
of two separate acquisitions. Express-1 was formed in 1989,
while CGL was formed in 2001. Bounce was a
start-up
operation formed in March 2008.
Express-1, Inc. provides time critical
expedited transportation to its customers. This typically
involves dedicating one truck to a load which has a specified
time delivery requirement. Most of the services provided are
completed through a fleet of exclusive use vehicles that are
owned and operated by independent contract drivers. The use of
non-owned resources to provide transportation services minimizes
the amount of capital investment required and is often described
with the terms non-asset or asset-light.
Concert Group Logistics, Inc. provides
freight forwarding services through a chain of independently
owned stations located throughout the United States. These
stations are responsible for selling and operating freight
forwarding transportation services within their geographic area
under the authority of CGL. In October of 2009, certain assets
and liabilities of LRG (currently CGL International) were
purchased to complement the operations of CGL. These two
branches located in Tampa and Miami are company owned and
provide primarily international forwarding services. The
financial reporting of this operation has been included with CGL.
Bounce Logistics, Inc. provides premium
truckload brokerage transportation services to its customers
throughout the Unites States through a sales service center
located in South Bend, Indiana. The operation is supported by an
outside sales team responsible for establishing and managing
customer relations.
Proposed
Equity Investment
On June 13, 2011, the Company entered into an Investment
Agreement with JPE and other investors providing for an
aggregate investment of up to $150 million in cash in the
Company, including amounts payable upon exercise of warrants.
For more information regarding the proposed Equity Investment,
refer to Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.
As controlling stockholder, JPE intends to leverage the
Companys prominent positions in expedited transportation
solutions, freight brokerage and freight forwarding to make the
Company a platform for growth. JPE intends to grow the Company
organically by hiring additional personnel and by other means.
JPE also intends to grow the Company through multiple strategic
acquisitions.
Other
Reporting Disclosures
Throughout our reports, we refer to the impact of fuel on our
business. For purposes of these references, we have considered
the impact of fuel surcharge revenues, and the related fuel
surcharge expenses only as they relate to our Express-1 business
unit. The expedited transportation industry commonly negotiates
both fuel surcharges charged to its customers as well as fuel
surcharges paid to its carriers. Therefore, we feel that this
approach most readily conveys the impact of fuel revenues, costs
and the resulting gross margin within this business unit. Our
fuel surcharges are determined on a negotiated customer by
customer basis and are primarily based on a fuel matrix driven
by the Department of Energy fuel price index. Fuel surcharge
revenues are charged to our customers to provide for variable
costs associated with changing fuel prices. Independent
contractors and brokered carriers are responsible for the cost
of fuel, and therefore are paid a fuel surcharge by the Company
to offset their variable cost of fuel. The fuel surcharge
payment is expensed as paid and included in the Companys
cost of transportation. Fuel surcharge payments are consistently
applied based on the Department of Energy fuel price index and
the type of truck utilized. Because fuel surcharge revenues vary
based on negotiated customer rates and the overall mix of
business, and because our fuel surcharge expense is applied on a
consistent basis, gross margin and our gross margin percentage
attributable to fuel surcharges will vary from period to period.
The impact of fuel surcharge revenue and expense will be
discussed within managements discussion and analysis of
Express-1.
18
Within our other two business units, CGL and Bounce, fuel
charges to our customers are not commonly negotiated and
identified separately from total revenue and the associated cost
of transportation. Although fuel costs are factored into overall
pricing of these services, they are not typically separately
identified between carriers and we therefore have not included
an analysis of fuel surcharges for these two operating units. We
believe this is a common practice within the freight forwarding
and freight brokerage business sectors.
Express-1 refers from time to time to its international
operations. These operations refer to freight which originates
in or is delivered to either Canada or Mexico. In all cases,
these freight shipments either originate in or are delivered to
the United States, and therefore only a portion of the freight
movement actually takes place in Canada or Mexico. This freight
is being carried for domestic customers who pay in
U.S. dollars. We discuss this freight separately because
Express-1 has developed an expertise in cross-docking freight at
the border through the utilization of Canadian and Mexican
carriers, and this portion of our business has seen significant
growth.
CGL also refers from time to time to its international
operations. These freight movements also originate in or are
delivered to the United States and are primarily paid for in
U.S. dollars. We discuss this freight separately because of
CGLs more recent focus on international freight through
its purchase of LRG (currently CGL International), and because
we believe that international freight has tremendous upside
potential for the future.
We often refer to the costs of our Board of Directors, our
executive team and certain operating costs associated with
operating as a public company as corporate charges.
In addition to the aforementioned items, we also record items
such as our income tax provision and other charges that are
reported on a consolidated basis within the corporate line items
of the following tables.

Consolidated
Results
In total, our revenues for the second quarter were 9.3% greater
than the comparable quarter in 2010. This
quarter-over-quarter
organic growth was primarily from our international revenues at
Express-1 and continued strong growth at Bounce.
Direct expenses represent expenses attributable to freight
transportation. Our asset-light operating model
provides transportation capacity through variable cost
transportation alternatives, and therefore enables us to control
our operating costs as our volumes fluctuate. Our primary means
of providing capacity are through our fleet of independent
contractors at Express-1 and brokerage relationships at CGL and
Bounce. We continue to view this operating model as a strategic
advantage particularly in uncertain economic times. Our overall
gross margin for the second quarter of 2011 was 16.3%,
representing a decrease when compared to 17.9% in the second
quarter of 2010. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of
revenue can be attributed to the following items:
|
|
|
|
|
International shipments at Express-1 tend to be higher revenue
shipments, but historically have generated a lower gross margin
percentage. As international revenue becomes a larger component
of revenue, it is expected that the gross margin percentage will
decrease.
|
|
|
Bounce continues to grow at a higher rate than Express-1 and
CGL. Bounces historically lower margin percentage will
decrease the Companys overall margin to the extent it
becomes a larger percentage of our total revenue.
|
|
|
Market conditions remain highly competitive which also decreased
the gross margin percentage.
|
Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A)
expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 11.4% during
the second quarter of 2010 to 12.6% in the second quarter of
2011. This increase can be attributed to transaction costs of
approximately $440,000 that occurred during the second quarter
of 2011, associated with the proposed Equity Investment,
incurred in the second quarter of 2011. Overall, SG&A
expenses increased by $939,000 for the second quarter of 2011
compared to the same period in 2010, resulting primarily from an
increase of $618,000 in purchased services, of which
approximately $440,000 is related to non-recurring expenses
associated with the proposed Equity Investment. Additionally,
total other expenses, consisting primarily of advertising,
driver relations and travel costs, increased by $271,000.
The Company finished the three months ended June 30, 2011
with $914,000 in net income which is a 39.2% decrease when
compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2010.
Lower than expected gross margins in addition to the transaction
costs related to the proposed Equity Investment contributed to
the reduction in net income as compared to the same quarter in
2010.
Express-1
Express-1 generated second quarter revenue of $23.1 million
as revenue grew by 12.2% compared to the same period in 2010.
Express-1 continued to increase its international operations as
its Mexican and Canadian cross border freight movements
represented 22.6% of the Companys total revenue for the
quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 14.7% of the
Companys total revenue for the comparable 2010 quarter. As
Express-1s growth continues, our customer base continues
to diversify both geographically and by industry. Management
anticipates solid revenue growth for the remainder of 2011 as
international shipments continue to pace our growth.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, fuel surcharge
revenues represented 17.7% of our owner/operator revenue as
compared to 12.7% in the same period in 2010. Rising fuel prices
positively impacted our gross margin percentage as fuel costs
rose and our fuel charge revenue mix with our customers was
favorable during the second quarter of 2011.
Express-1s gross margin percentage was 19.5% for the three
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 23.5% for the same
quarter in 2010. Reasons for the decrease in margin percentage
include:
|
|
|
|
|
International revenue in the second quarter has increased
revenue but decreased margin percentage. International shipments
are typically higher revenue shipments that have not generated
the gross margin percentage that we have been able to generate
on our domestic moves.
|
|
|
Large volume customers have not yet participated in rate
increases.
|
23
|
|
|
|
|
Express-1 continues to handle a higher percentage of shipments
through brokered carriers associated mainly with the growth in
international business. All cross border moves are handled by
brokered carriers.
|
Historically, the utilization of brokered carriers has enabled
Express-1 to handle peak volume periods for its customers while
building its fleet of owner operators. Brokered carriers also
are utilized to more efficiently handle freight that crosses
into Canada or Mexico. This key component of Express-1s
purchased transportation costs is critical to our ongoing
success; however, margins relating to this business are
typically lower than margins associated with our own fleet of
independent contractors. During the quarter ended June 30,
2011, 32.8% of Express-1s revenue was carried by brokered
carriers as compared to 29.5% in the same quarter in 2010. Much
of the increase was due to the growth of our international
business.
SG&A expenses increased by $118,000 for the three-month
period ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in
2010. Of the increase in SG&A, $123,000 related to
increases in other expense, consisting primarily of advertising,
driver relations and travel costs. These expenses increased as
management continues to focus on owner operator fleet growth and
sales initiatives. Salaries and benefits, purchased services and
depreciation and amortization remained relatively flat between
these comparable periods.
Operating income for the three-month period ended June 30,
2011 was $2.0 million compared to $2.5 million in the
comparable period in 2010 representing a decrease of roughly
$470,000. This decrease is primarily due to the revenue mix and
the fact that market conditions remain highly competitive.
CGL
CGLs revenues during the quarter ended June 30, 2011
were relatively comparable at $15.7 million with the
revenues of $16.1 million during the corresponding period
of 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company modified
CGLs revenue recognition policy to conform with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue for CGL
was previously recognized on the date the freight was picked up
from the shipper. Under the modified revenue recognition policy,
revenue is recognized when delivery is completed on the freight
shipments. This correction reduced revenue and direct expenses
by $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, and
was immaterial to the Companys June 30, 2011
financial statements. This correction was not applied to
previous periods presented as the impact on those periods was
not material.
Direct expenses consist primarily of payments for purchased
transportation in addition to payments to CGLs independent
offices that control the overall operation of our
customers shipments. As a percentage of CGL revenue,
direct expenses also remained relatively comparable,
representing 89.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011,
compared to 89.7% for the same period in 2010. With the increase
in gross margin percentage, CGLs gross margin increased
1.4% to $1.7 million.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue were slightly
higher in comparison to the comparable quarter in 2010.
SG&A expenses were 8.1% of revenues for the quarter ended
June 30, 2011 as compared to 6.8% of revenues in the
comparable period in 2010. Overall SG&A expenses increased
in the second quarter of 2011 by $179,000 as compared to the
same period in 2010, due primarily to increased salaries and
benefits relating to additional staff employed during the period
and purchased services relating to temporary employment. We
anticipate the current SG&A percentage of revenue being
sustained for the remainder of the year.
As a result of the factors discussed above, CGLs second
quarter operating income decreased 28.1% to $399,000 in 2011
compared to $555,000 for the comparable period in 2010.
Management continues to focus on the expansion of its
independent office network, and is actively pursuing strategic
opportunities. As of June 30, 2011, the Company maintained
a network of 23 independent offices and two Company owned
branches. The amount of stations was similar to the same period
in 2010.
Bounce
Bounce continues to see significant growth as its revenue for
the quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased by 43.0% to
$6.7 million compared to revenues of $4.7 million for
the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The increase in revenue
24
can be attributed to an increased focus on increasing our
customer base through investments in sales and marketing. We
continue to be optimistic about growth potential for the
remainder of fiscal year 2011.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Bounces direct
transportation expenses increased to 84.7% as a percentage of
revenue as compared to 83.9% in the comparable period in 2010.
This cost increase reflects a tightening of truck capacity in
the marketplace as growth in demand has outpaced the supply of
capacity. This decrease in margin has been more than offset by
additional business that has generated an additional $268,000 in
gross margin for the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the
same period in 2010.
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs fell to 12.7% for
the second quarter of 2011, compared to 13.1% in the second
quarter of 2010. Overall SG&A expenses increased by
$237,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to
the same period in 2010. Salaries and benefits increased by
$129,000 resulting from the addition of employees year over
year. Other expenses, consisting primarily of advertising and
employees travel costs, increased by $90,000 during the
second quarter of 2011. Bounce is also investing resources in
the area of capacity management which we believe will generate
more capacity moving forward. Management believes that it can
reduce SG&A costs into the 12% range for the remainder of
2011 as volumes and revenues continue to grow.
The above items have resulted in Bounce generating operating
income of $172,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $141,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Management believes the near term investment being made in
training, carrier development and sales will not only continue
our revenue growth but will yield operating margin improvements
in the remainder of 2011.
Corporate
Corporate costs for the quarter ended June 30, 2011
increased by $405,000 as compared to the same period in 2010. As
a percentage of revenue, corporate costs increased from 1.3% for
the quarter ended June 30, 2010 to 2.1% for the same period
in 2011. This increase was primarily due to approximately
$440,000 of transaction costs constituting accounting, legal,
financial consulting, and other costs associated with the
proposed Equity Investment.

Consolidated
Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenues for each
of the business units increased when compared to the same period
in 2010. In total, our revenues for the first six months of 2011
were 18.9% greater than for the comparable period in 2010. This
organic growth comes primarily from our international revenues
at both Express-1 and CGL.
Direct expenses represent expenses attributable to freight
transportation. Our asset-light operating model
provides transportation capacity through variable cost
transportation alternatives, and therefore enables us to control
our operating costs as our volumes fluctuate. Our primary means
of providing capacity are through our fleet of independent
contractors at Express-1 and brokerage relationships at CGL and
Bounce. We continue to view this operating model as a strategic
advantage particularly in uncertain economic times. Our overall
gross margin for the six months ended June 2011 was 16.8%,
representing a decrease when compared to 17.8% in the comparable
six months of 2010. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage
of revenue can be attributed to the fact that international
shipments tend to provide higher revenue, but at a lower gross
margin percentage. As international revenue becomes a larger
component of revenue it is expected that the gross margin
percentage will decrease. In addition, Bounce continues to grow
at a higher rate than Express-1 and CGL and Bounces
historically lower margin
28
percentage will decrease the Companys overall margin
percentage. Market conditions remain highly competitive, which
also can decrease the gross margin percentage.
SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from
12.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to 12.6%
for the same period in 2011. This percentage increase of
SG&A mostly relates to approximately $440,000 of costs
representing accounting, attorney and various other expenses
related to the proposed Equity Investment. Overall, SG&A
expenses increased by $2.1 million for the first six months
of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, resulting primarily
from an increase of $873,000 in salaries and benefits, $769,000
in purchased services and $494,000 in total other expenses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 the Companys
net income decreased by $307,000 to $2.0 million when
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to the
factors noted above.
Express-1
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, Express-1
generated $43.8 million in revenue, which represented an
increase of 19.1% compared to the same period in 2010. Express-1
continued to increase its international operations as its
Mexican and Canadian cross border freight movements represented
21.2% of Express-1s total revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 compared to 14.5% of the Companys total
revenue for the comparable 2010 period. As Express-1s
growth continues, our customer base continues to diversify both
geographically and by industry. We believe that this growth will
come from both existing customers who will increase their
shipping volumes, and additional freight moved for new customers.
Fuel prices have increased throughout the period resulting in a
corresponding increase in fuel surcharge as a percentage of
revenue. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, fuel
surcharge revenues represented 16.7% of our revenue as compared
to 12.1% in the same period in 2010. This increase in fuel
surcharge positively impacted our gross margin percentage for
the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Express-1s gross margin percentage was 20.6% for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 23.1% for the same
period in 2010. One reason for the significant decrease in
margin is the mixture of international revenue and large
customer revenue, these particular areas tend to be lower gross
margin areas. The growth in these specific areas led to a lower
than historical gross margin percentage. In addition, brokered
carriers also are utilized to more efficiently handle freight
that crosses into Canada or Mexico. This key component of
Express-1s purchased transportation costs is critical to
our ongoing success; however, margins relating to this business
are typically lower than margins associated with our own fleet
of independent contractors. During the six months ended
June 30, 2011, 31.8% of Express-1s revenue was
carried by brokered carriers as compared to 27.9% in the same
period in 2010.
SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 decreased to 11.7% compared to 11.9% for the
comparable period in 2010. SG&A expenses increased by
$749,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to
the same period in 2010. Of the increase in SG&A, $321,000
resulted from the net addition of 20 employees between
June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Purchased services
increased by $174,000 during the period of which the largest
component related to approximately $60,000 of temporary
employment and related costs. Additional cost increases related
to special projects and software expenses. Additionally, other
costs, related to advertising, driver relations, travel, and
meals and entertainment, increased by $269,000.
Operating income for the six-month period ended June 30,
2011 was $3.9 million compared to $4.1 million for the
comparable period in 2010 representing a decrease of $216,000.
This decrease was due primarily to the decrease in gross margin
percentage.
CGL
CGL continued its growth trend during the six months ended
June 30, 2011. Revenues of $31.5 million compared
favorably to revenues of $29.0 million in 2010,
representing an 8.4% increase over the comparable period in
2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company modified
CGLs revenue recognition policy to conform with United
States generally accepted accounting principles. Revenue for CGL
was previously recognized on the date the freight was picked up
from the shipper. Under the modified revenue recognition policy,
revenue is recognized when delivery is completed on the freight
shipments. This correction reduced revenue and direct expenses
by $1.4 million
29
and $1.2 million, respectively, and was immaterial to the
Companys June 30, 2011 financial statements. This
correction was not applied to previous periods presented as the
impact on those periods was not material.
Direct expenses consist primarily of payments for purchased
transportation in addition to payments to CGLs independent
offices that control the overall operation of our
customers shipments. As a percentage of CGL revenue,
direct expenses represented 89.2% for the six months ended
June 30, 2011, compared to 89.5% for the same period in
2010. With the improved revenue and direct expenses as a
percentage of revenue, the gross margin improved to
$3.4 million, an 11.1% increase over the comparable period
in 2010.
SG&A stayed relatively consistent for the six months ended
June 30, 2011. SG&A expenses represented 8.0% of
revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared
to 7.7% of revenues in the comparable period in 2010. Overall
expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2011
by $279,000 as compared to the same period in 2010, due
primarily to increased salaries and benefits relating to
additional staff employed during the period. We anticipate the
current SG&A percentage of revenue being sustained for the
remainder of the year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, CGLs
operating income was $871,000 compared to $811,000 for the
comparable period in 2010. This increase of 7.4% was due
primarily to increased revenues in addition to improved margins
and limited SG&A growth.
Management continues to focus on the expansion of its
independent office network, and is actively pursuing strategic
opportunities. As of June 30, 2011, the Company maintained
a network of 23 independent offices and two Company owned
branches. The amount of stations was similar to the same period
in 2010.
Bounce
Bounce continues to see significant growth as its revenue for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased by 62.5% to
$12.7 million compared to revenues of $7.8 million for
the same period in 2010. The increase in revenue can be
attributed to an increased focus on increasing our customer base
through investments in sales and marketing. We continue to be
optimistic about growth potential for the remainder of fiscal
year 2011.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Bounces
direct transportation expenses increased to 84.6% as a
percentage of revenue as compared to 83.7% in the comparable
period in 2010. We believe this cost increase reflects a
tightening of truck capacity in the marketplace as growth in
demand has outpaced the supply of capacity. This decrease in
margin has been more than offset by additional business that has
generated an additional $677,000 in gross margin for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the same period
in 2010. We continue to have confidence in Bounces ability
to grow and access truck capacity in 2011.
As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs fell to 12.9% for
the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 13.3% in
the same period for 2010. Overall SG&A expenses increased
by $605,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared
to the same period in 2010. Salaries and benefits increased by
$354,000 resulting from the net addition of 14 employees
between June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2011. Other
expenses increased by $196,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of increases in
advertising expenses of approximately $70,000 and travel, meals
and entertainment expenses of approximately $48,000. Bounce is
also investing resources in the area of capacity management
which we believe will generate more capacity moving forward.
Management believes that it can reduce SG&A costs into the
12% range for the remainder of 2011 as volumes and revenues
continue to grow.
The above items have resulted in Bounce generating operating
income of $310,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011,
compared to $238,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2010. Management believes the near term investment being made in
training, carrier development and sales will not only support
continued revenue growth but will yield operating margin
improvements in the remainder of 2011.
Corporate
Corporate SG&A costs for the six months ended June 30,
2011 increased by $438,000 or 1.7% as compared to the same
period in 2010. This increase relates to $440,000 in accounting,
legal, financial consulting and other costs associated with the
proposed Equity Investment as mentioned above.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
General
As of June 30, 2011, we had $12.3 million of working
capital with associated cash of $647,000 compared with working
capital of $12.3 million and cash of $561,000 as of
December 31, 2010. This represents a decrease of $53,000 or
0.4% in working capital during the six-month period ended
June 30, 2011. The Company does not have any material
commitments that have not been disclosed elsewhere. We
continually evaluate our liquidity requirements, capital needs
and availability of capital resources based on our operating
needs. We believe that our existing cash balances together with
the funds expected to be generated from operations and funds
available under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient
to finance our operations for the foreseeable future.
Cash
Flow
During the six months ended June 30, 2011,
$3.6 million was generated in cash from operations compared
to the generation of $792,000 for the comparable period in 2010.
The primary source of cash for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2011 was our trucking revenue while the primary
use of cash for the period was payment for transportation
services.
Cash generated from revenue equaled $85.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to
$66.2 million for the same period in 2010 and correlates
directly with revenue increases between the two periods. Cash
flow increases are related to volume increases and a decrease in
our average days outstanding in accounts receivable by six days
between the six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 and
June 30, 2010.
Cash used for payment of transportation services for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 equaled $71.6 million as
compared to $55.9 million for the same period in 2010. The
increase in cash outflows between the two periods also directly
correlates to the increase in business between the two years.
Our average days outstanding in accounts payable and accrued
expenses decreased by eight days between the six-month periods
ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010.
Other operating uses of cash included SG&A items which
equaled $9.9 million and $7.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The
major items included under this heading include payroll and
purchased services. For the six-month period ended June 30,
2011, payroll expenses equaled $6.3 million as compared to
$5.4 million for the same period in 2010. Included in the
$6.3 million in payroll expenses is $96,000 of increased
payroll incentives accrued during the period which will be paid
in future periods.
Investing activities used approximately $710,000 during the six
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to our use of $150,000
on these activities during the comparable period in 2010. During
this period, cash was used to purchase $260,000 in fixed assets
and to fund an acquisition earn-out payment of $450,000. During
the same period in 2010 the Company used $151,000 to purchase
fixed assets.
Financing activities used approximately $2,770,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $857,000 in the
comparable period in 2010. The primary uses of cash for the
second quarter of 2011 were payments on the line of credit of
$2,749,000 and payments on the term loan of $845,000 offset by
proceeds from the exercise of options of $727,000. During the
same period in 2010, net payments on the line of credit and term
loan of $1.3 million represented the primary use of cash.
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options totaling $409,000
provided a source of funds due to financing activities.
Long-Term
Debt and Line of Credit
The Company entered into a $5.0 million term loan on
March 30, 2010. Commencing April 30, 2010, the term
loan is payable in 36 consecutive monthly installments
consisting of $139,000 in monthly principal payments plus the
unpaid interest accrued on the loan. Interest is payable at the
one-month LIBOR plus 225 basis points (2.44% as of
June 30, 2011).
On March 31, 2011, the Company amended the credit agreement
governing the Companys revolving credit facility and the
term loan described above to extend the maturity date of the
revolving credit facility to March 31, 2013 and to
eliminate the receivables borrowing base limitation previously
applicable to the revolving credit
31
facility. The revolving credit facility continues to provide for
a line of credit of up to $10.0 million. The Company may
draw upon this line of credit up to $10.0 million, less
amounts outstanding under letters of credit. The proceeds of the
line of credit will be used exclusively for working capital
purposes.
Substantially all of the assets of the Company are pledged as
collateral securing the Companys performance under the
revolving credit facility and the term loan. The revolving
credit facility bears interest based upon the one-month LIBOR
plus a current increment of 175 basis points (1.94% as of
June 30, 2011).
The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility and
the term loan contains certain covenants related to the
Companys financial performance. Included among the
covenants are a fixed charge coverage ratio and a total funded
debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ratio. As of June 30, 2011, the Company was in
compliance with all terms under the credit agreement and no
events of default existed under the terms of this agreement.
We had outstanding standby letters of credit as of June 30,
2011 of $410,000 related to insurance policies either continuing
in force or recently cancelled. Amounts outstanding for letters
of credit reduce the amount available under our line of credit,
on a
dollar-for-dollar
basis.
Available capacity in excess of outstanding borrowings under the
line of credit was approximately $9.6 million as of
June 30, 2011. The revolving credit facility carries a
maturity date of March 31, 2013.
Options
The following schedule represents those options that the Company
has outstanding as of June 30, 2011. The schedule
segregates the options by expiration date and exercise price to
better identify their potential for exercise. Additionally, the
total approximate potential proceeds by year have been

Controls
and Procedures.
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures. Under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the
Companys principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operations of its disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on their evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such
time such that the material information required to be included
in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms relating to Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc., including
our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by
others within those entities, particularly during the period
