ACQUISITIONS

On October 4, 2010, the Company acquired 100% of the international freight forwarding assets of Ferrara International Logistics Inc. (“FIL”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Ferrara.
 
 
- 9 -

 
 
The Company acquired the FIL business in order to (i) expand its domestic forwarding network in the United States, (ii) to increase revenues by adding additional air and ocean export shipment volumes, and (iii) to provide additional logistics services through the warehousing and distribution of freight.
 
The purchase price under the terms of the Purchase Agreement consists of (i) cash in an amount equal to 70% of the annual actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) achieved over the three 12-month periods following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”) from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets, and (ii) 1,714,286 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $600,000 based on the closing market price of the stock on October 1, 2010 (the “Share Allocation”).   The Share Allocation is subject to decrease if actual EBITDA from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets during the Earn-Out Period is below $2 million, and will be issued in three installments on October 4, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Purchase price allocation

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting the Company has initially allocated the consideration to the identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values.  Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets.

The initial consideration estimated at $1,840,000 consists of $600,000 of common stock and $1,400,000 non-interest bearing notes issued, net of imputed interest of $160,000.  The consideration has been allocated as follows:

Intangible assets:
     
Customer relationships subject to amortization
  $ 1,220,000  
Goodwill
    620,000  
Total fair value
  $ 1,840,000  

In addition, the Company incurred $18,411 in acquisition related costs, all of which were charged to expense and are included under selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Nicholas V. Ferrara, the principal owner of FIL, will be employed by the Company at an annual salary of $182,000 plus benefits.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As used throughout this Report, “we,” “our,” “Janel”, “the Company” and similar words refers to Janel World Trade, Ltd.

forward-looking statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations with respect to our operations, performance, financial condition, and other developments.  These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words “may”, “will”, “believes”, “should”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, and similar expressions.  These statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and readers are advised that various factors could affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.  While it is impossible to identify all such factors, such factors include, but are not limited to, those risks identified in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

overview

Janel is primarily a non-asset based third party logistics services provider engaged in full-service cargo transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding via air, ocean and land based carriers, customs brokerage services, and warehousing and distribution services.   Our headquarters are in Jamaica, New York and we operate through a network which includes 5 company-owned offices in the United States and independent international agents in approximately 52 countries around the world.

During the month of April 2011, the Company started a new business segment which is comprised of vertical sales primarily in the food industry.  This new segment will be involved with supply chain services, including supplier selection, manufacturing, transportation, import, distribution, marketing, and sales within the food industry.

As a non-asset based third party logistics provider, we do not own any transportation assets and fulfill our transportation needs by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and from other transportation providers who generally provide us with favorable rates with priority handling of our shipments.   By consolidating multiple shipments from our customers we are able to negotiate favorable pricing from these transportation providers and can offer lower rates to our customers than they could obtain on their own.  This non-asset based approach provides us with a variable cost structure and allows for a high level of operating flexibility.  Our investment in assets is limited to the purchase of office, warehouse and computer equipment and the leasing of office and warehouse space for our company owned offices.

Our new food industry segment which began during April 2011, will require working capital for the purchase of products from suppliers to be held in inventory for the sale of the products at a future date, as well as, the prepayment of fees, principally to supermarket chains, for positioning of retail store shelf space, commonly referred to as “slotting fees”.

Historically, Janel’s quarterly operating results have been subject to seasonal trends.  The fiscal first and second quarters have traditionally been the weakest and the fiscal third and fourth quarters have traditionally been the strongest. This pattern has been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors including climate, national holidays, consumer demand, economic conditions and other similar and subtle forces.  A significant portion of our revenues are derived from customers in industries with shipping patterns closely tied to consumer demand and from customers with shipping patterns dependent upon just-in-time production schedules. Many customers may ship a significant portion of their goods at or near the end of a quarter.  Therefore, the timing of our revenues are, to a large degree, affected by factors beyond our control, such as shifting consumer demand for retail goods and manufacturing production delays.  We cannot accurately forecast many of these factors, nor can we estimate the relative impact of any particular factor and, as a result, there is no assurance that historical patterns will continue in the future

results of operations

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The discussion and analysis then addresses the liquidity and financial condition of the Company, and other matters.

 
- 12 -

 

Janel operates its business as three reportable segments.  The first and largest segment is comprised of full-service cargo transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding via air, ocean and land-based carriers, customs brokerage services, warehousing and distribution services, and other value-added logistics services.  The second segment, which is no longer active, was comprised of computer software sales, support and maintenance, and from January 1, 2011 the Company has only incurred costs associated with the wind-down of this business segment.  The third segment, which began during the month of April 2011, is comprised of vertical sales primarily in the food industry.  This new business will be involved with supply chain services, including supplier selection, manufacturing, transportation, import, distribution, marketing, and sales within the food industry.

On October 4, 2010, the Company acquired the international freight forwarding assets of Ferrara International Logistics, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“FIL”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Registrant and FIL dated October 4, 2010.  The purchase price paid and to be paid under the terms of the Purchase Agreement consists of (i) cash in an amount equal to 70% of the annual actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) achieved over the three 12-month periods following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”) from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets, and (ii) 1,714,286 restricted shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock valued at $600,000 based on the closing market price of the stock on October 1, 2010 (the “Share Allocation”), issued pursuant to an exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated there under.  The Share Allocation is subject to decrease if actual EBITDA from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets during the Earn-Out Period is below $2 million, and will be issued in three installments on October 4, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Revenue. Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $22,476,995, as compared to $21,004,703 for the same period of fiscal 2010, a year-over-year increase of $1,472,292 or 7.0%.  For the three months of fiscal 2011, revenue from the new food industry segment which began in April 2011 was $28,564.  For the three months of fiscal 2011 and 2010 there was no revenue from the computer software business segment and the Company does not anticipate any future revenue from the computer software business segment.  When compared to the prior year, the Company’s transportation logistics segment revenue increased by 6.9% to $22,448,431 for the first quarter of 2011 from $21,004,703 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  This increase is mainly the result of new revenue in the amount of $1,245,503 from the FIL asset purchase acquisition, the relative strengthening of the U.S. economy year-over-year and the consequent increase in ocean fright and airfreight shipping activity by existing and new customers between the two periods.  Net revenue (revenue minus forwarding expenses) for the transportation logistics segment in fiscal 2011 was $2,321,513, a decrease of $51,428 (2.2%) as compared to net revenue of $2,372,941 for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Forwarding Expense. Forwarding expense is primarily comprised of the fees paid by Janel directly to cargo carriers to handle and transport its actual freight shipments on behalf of its customers between initial and final terminal points.  Forwarding expense also includes any duties, trucking and warehousing charges related to the shipments.  For the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and primarily because of new forwarding expenses in the amount of $942,618 from the FIL asset purchase acquisition, forwarding expense increased by $1,495,156, or 8.0%, to $20,126,918 as compared to $18,631,762 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  Forwarding expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 89.5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011, from 88.7% for the same period of fiscal 2010, a 0.8 percentage point increase.  This percentage increase is principally the result of (i) a greater amount of revenue generated from our two largest customers where the forwarding expenses as a percentage of revenue are historically higher than the forwarding expenses as a percentage of revenue from other customers, and (ii) higher forwarding expenses as a percentage of revenue from these top two customers when compared to the same period of fiscal 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,616,778 (11.6% of revenue), and $1,952,095 (9.3% of revenue), respectively.  This represents a year-over-year increase of $664,683, or 34.0%.  The increases in amount and as a percentage of revenue are primarily the result of new selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition of approximately $595,773  and the start up of the food industry segment of approximately $170,770.

Depreciation and Amortization.  For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, depreciation and amortization expenses were $97,407 and $61,557, respectively.  This represents a year over year increase of $35,850, or 58.2%.  The increases in amount and as a percentage of revenue are primarily a result of new amortization expenses associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition totaling $30,500.  Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 
- 13 -

 

Interest Expense.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, interest expense was $32,461 and $24,980, respectively.  This $7,481 increase is primarily the result of imputed interest amortization expense of $13,333 associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition (refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  Offsetting this increase are lower interest costs primarily the result of lower borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2011 versus the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Income (Loss) Before Taxes. For the reasons stated above, the Company incurred a loss before taxes of ($395,624) for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, as compared to income before taxes of $335,431 for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Income Taxes.   The company recorded a net income tax benefit of ($148,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to an income tax provision of $165,000 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  Both fiscal periods reflect the U.S. federal statutory rate and applicable state income taxes.

Net Income (Loss).   For the three months ended June 30, 2011, there was a net loss of ($247,624) compared to net income of $170,431 for the three months ended June 30, 2010.  Net loss available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was ($251,374), or ($0.011) per diluted share, as compared to net income available to common shareholders of $166,635 or $0.009 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010

Revenue. Total revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was $71,612,621, as compared to $57,273,590 for the same period of fiscal 2010, a year-over-year increase of $14,339,031 or 25.0%.  For the nine months of fiscal 2011, revenue from the new food industry segment which began in April 2011 was $28,564.  For the nine months of fiscal 2011 there was no revenue from the computer software business segment and for the same period of fiscal 2010, revenue from the computer software business segment totaled $57,206.  The Company does not anticipate any future revenue from the computer software business segment.  When compared to the prior year, the Company’s transportation logistics segment revenue increased by 25.1% to $71,584,057 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 from $57,216,384 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  This increase is mainly the result of the relative strengthening of the U.S. economy year-over-year, the consequent increase in ocean fright and airfreight shipping activity by existing customers between the two periods, and by new revenue in the amount of $3,721,242 from the FIL asset purchase acquisition.  Net revenue (revenue minus forwarding expenses) for the transportation and logistics segment in fiscal 2011 was $7,258,459, an increase of $953,857 (15.1%) as compared to net revenue of $6,304,602 for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Forwarding Expense. Forwarding expense is primarily comprised of the fees paid by Janel directly to cargo carriers to handle and transport its actual freight shipments on behalf of its customers between initial and final terminal points.  Forwarding expense also includes any duties, trucking and warehousing charges related to the shipments.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and primarily because of the higher revenue base, forwarding expense increased by $13,413,816, or 26.4%, to $64,325,598 as compared to $50,911,782 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  Included in this increase are new forwarding expenses in the amount of $2,599,402 from the FIL asset purchase acquisition.  Forwarding expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 89.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, from 88.9% for the same period of fiscal 2010, a 0.9 percentage point increase.  This percentage increase is principally the result of (i) a greater amount of revenue generated from our two largest customers where the forwarding expenses as a percentage of revenue are historically higher than the forwarding expenses as a percentage of revenue from other customers, and (ii) higher forwarding expenses as a percentage of revenue from these top two customers when compared to the same period of fiscal 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses were $7,514,229 (10.5% of revenue), and $5,673,199 (9.9% of revenue), respectively.  This represents a year-over-year increase of $1,841,030, or 32.5%.  The increases in amount and as a percentage of revenue are primarily the result of new selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition of approximately $1,511,426 (includes $18,411 of one-time legal and professional transaction related costs), the selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the start up of the food industry segment of approximately $170,770, and the elimination this year of some of the payroll cutbacks made in the prior year resulting from the Company’s austerity program, during which personnel positions were eliminated and workweek reductions were implemented in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, depreciation and amortization expenses were $277,005 and $183,252, respectively.  This represents a year over year increase of $93,753, or 51.2%.  The increases in amount and as a percentage of revenue are primarily a result of new amortization expenses associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition totaling $91,500.  Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 
- 14 -

 

Interest Expense.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, interest expense was $105,246 and $79,807, respectively.  This $25,439 increase is primarily the result of imputed interest amortization expense of $39,999 associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition (refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).  Offsetting this increase are lower interest costs primarily the result of lower borrowings during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 versus the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

Income (Loss) Before Taxes. For the reasons stated above, the Company incurred a loss before taxes of ($606,325) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to income before taxes of $226,478 for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Income Taxes.   The company recorded a net income tax benefit of ($227,000) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 compared to an income tax provision of $203,000 for the same period of fiscal 2010.  Both fiscal periods reflect the U.S. federal statutory rate and applicable state income taxes.

Net Income (Loss).   For the nine months ended June 30, 2011, there was a net loss of ($379,325) compared to net income of $226,478 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  Net loss available to common shareholders for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was ($390,575), or ($0.017) per diluted share, as compared to net income available to common shareholders of $215,182, or $0.012 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.

liquidity and capital resources

General.  Our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements, which include satisfying our debt obligations and funding working capital, day-to-day operating expenses and capital expenditures depends upon our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, competition and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.  If we achieve significant near-term revenue growth, we may experience a need for increased working capital financing as a result of the difference between our collection cycles and the timing of our payments to vendors.  In addition, the new food industry segment which began during April 2011 will require working capital for the purchase of products from suppliers to be held in inventory for the sale of the products at a future date, as well as, the prepayment of slotting fees.  Within our transportation logistics segment, generally we do not have a need for significant capital expenditure as we are a non-asset based freight forwarder.

Janel’s cash flow performance for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 is not necessarily indicative of future cash flow performance.

As of June 30, 2011, and compared with the prior fiscal year, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents declined by $(779,261), or (57.5)%, to $575,651 from $1,354,912, respectively.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, Janel’s net working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) decreased by $(658,607), or (36.0)%, from $1,832,263 at September 30, 2010, to $1,173,656 at June 30, 2011.  This decrease is primarily due to the net loss ($379,325) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the $227,428 current portion of the related party note payable associated with the earn-out under the FIL Purchase Agreement (refer to Note 4 to the Company’s Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report), and the $71,389 current portion of the $400,000 term loan which was entered into on April 5, 2011 with Community National Bank – for a further description see Community National Bank Term Loan, below.

Cash flows from operating activities.  Net cash used in operating activities was $(218,622) for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $307,389 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The change was principally driven by an increase in collections of outstanding accounts receivable, which were offset by an increase in payments of outstanding accounts payable, the net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the purchase of inventory for the new food industry segment, a change in the deferred tax asset and the inclusion of a tax refund receivable in the prior year.

Cash flows from investing activities.  Net cash used for investing activities, primarily capital expenditures for property and equipment, were $342,527 and $12,026 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Cash flows from financing activities.  Net cash used for financing activities was $218,112 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, compared to $512,202 for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, consisted primarily of the early repayment on October 4, 2010 of the $435,000 non-interest bearing note payable due under the July 2008 FIL asset purchase acquisition (refer to Note 3 to the Company’s Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report), repayments of long-term debt, and the purchase of treasury stock; which were partially offset by new borrowings of $400,000 under a term-loan entered into on April 5, 2011 with Community National Bank – for a further description see Community National Bank Term Loan, below.  The cash used in financing activities for fiscal year ended 2009, consisted primarily of repayments under the term and line note agreements with JPMorgan Chase Bank.

Community National Bank Borrowing Facility.  On August 3, 2010, the Company’s Janel Group of New York, Inc. (“Janel New York”) subsidiary entered into a one year $3.5 million revolving line of credit agreement with Community National Bank (“CNB”).  The new credit facility (the “CNB Facility”) replaces Janel New York’s previous term loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The interest rate of the CNB Facility is the prime rate plus 1%, with a minimum rate of 5%.  Under the CNB Facility, Janel New York may borrow up to $3.5 million limited to 80% of the Company’s aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable.  On August 3, 2010, $951,190 of the CNB Facility was used to pay off the outstanding balances under the term loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The initial CNB Facility was for a one year term, expiring on July 31, 2011, however, on August 1, 2011 the CNB Facility was renewed for an additional one year term, expiring on July 31, 2012.  Obligations under the CNB Facility are secured by all of the assets of the Company, and are guaranteed by the Company and James N. Jannello, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  As of June 30, 2011, there were outstanding borrowings of $951,336 under the CNB Facility (which represented 42.6% of the amount available thereunder) out of a total amount available for borrowing under the CNB Facility of approximately $2,235,195.

Community National Bank Term Loan.  On April 5, 2011 Janel New York entered into a term loan in the amount of $400,000 with CNB (“CNB Term Loan”).  The interest rate of the CNB Term Loan is 6%.  The CNB Term Loan is for a five year term, expiring April 5, 2016, with monthly installment payments of principal and interest totaling $7,735.  Obligations under the CNB Term Loan are secured by all of the assets of the Company, and are guaranteed by the Company and James N. Jannello, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  The borrowings under the CNB Term Loan are being used to construct a 15,000 square foot walk/drive-in freezer in our New Jersey warehouse for our traditional freight forwarding and logistics segment.

 Working Capital Requirements.  The Company’s cash needs are currently met by the CNB Facility and cash on hand.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $1,283,859 available under its $3.5 million CNB Facility and $575,651 in cash from operations and cash on hand.  We believe that our current financial resources will be sufficient to finance our operations and obligations (current and long-term liabilities) for the long and short terms.  However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short terms will depend upon numerous factors, including our operating results, the cost associated with growing the Company either internally or through acquisition, the amount of inventory levels required within the new food industry segment to have a seamless supply chain necessary to re-stock the product being sold to new customers, the level of cost associated with the prepayment of slotting fees within the new food industry segment, competition, and the availability of a revolving credit facility, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Current Outlook

Janel’s results of operations are affected by the general economic cycle, particularly as it influences global trade levels and specifically the import and export activities of Janel’s various current and prospective customers.  Historically, the Company’s quarterly results of operations have been subject to seasonal trends which have been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors including climate, national holidays, consumer demand, economic conditions, the growth and diversification of its international network and service offerings, and other similar and subtle forces. The Company cannot accurately forecast many of these factors nor can the Company estimate accurately the relative influence of any particular factor and, as a result, there can be no assurance that historical patterns, if any, will continue in future periods.

Janel is progressing with the implementation of its business plan and strategy to grow its revenue and profitability for fiscal 2011 and beyond through other avenues. The Company’s strategy for growth includes plans to: open, as warranted, additional branch offices domestically and/or outside the continental United States; introduce additional revenue streams for its existing headquarters and branch locations; accelerate the revenue growth within the new food industry segment; proceed with negotiations and due diligence with privately held transportation-related firms which may ultimately lead to their acquisition by the Company; expand its existing sales force by hiring additional commission-only sales representatives with established customer bases; increase its focus on growing revenue related to export activities; evaluate direct entry into the trucking and warehouse distribution business as a complement to the services already provided to existing customers; and continue its focus on containing current and prospective overhead and operating expenses, particularly with regard to the efficient integration of any additional offices or acquisitions.

Certain elements of the Company’s growth strategy, principally proposals for acquisition and accelerating the revenue growth within the new food industry segment, are contingent upon the availability of adequate financing at terms acceptable to the Company.  The Company is continuing in its efforts to secure long-term financing, but has to date been unable to complete any such long-term financing transactions at terms it deems acceptable, and cannot presently anticipate when or if financing on acceptable terms will become available. Therefore, the implementation of significant aspects of the Company’s strategic growth plan may be deferred beyond the originally anticipated timing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.  Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to the financial statements.  The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for transportation and other direct costs, accruals for cargo insurance, and deferred income taxes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  We reevaluate these significant factors as facts and circumstances change.  Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from our estimates.  These accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management believes that the nature of the Company’s business is such that there are few, if any, complex challenges in accounting for operations. Revenue recognition is considered the critical accounting policy due to the complexity of arranging and managing global logistics and supply-chain management transactions.

Revenue Recognition

A. Full-Service Cargo Transportation Logistics Management

Revenues are derived from airfreight, ocean freight and custom brokerage services. The Company is a non-asset-based carrier and accordingly does not own transportation assets. The Company generates the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct carriers (airlines, steam ship lines, etc.) and reselling those services to its customers. By consolidating shipments from multiple customers and availing itself of its buying power, the Company is able to negotiate favorable rates from the direct carriers, while offering to its customers lower rates than the customers could obtain themselves.

Airfreight revenues include the charges for carrying the shipments when the Company acts as a freight consolidator. Ocean freight revenues include the charges for carrying the shipments when the Company acts as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC).  In each case, the Company is acting as an indirect carrier.  When acting as an indirect carrier, the Company will issue a House Airway Bill (HAWB) or a House Ocean Bill of Lading (HOBL) to customers as the contract of carriage.  In turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, the Company receives a contract of carriage known as a Master Airway Bill for airfreight shipments and a Master Ocean Bill of Lading for ocean shipments.  At this point the risk of loss passes to the carrier, however, in order to claim for any such loss, the customer is first obligated to pay the freight charges.

Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where the Company issues a HAWB or a HOBL are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier.  Costs related to the shipments are recognized at the same time.

Revenues realized when the Company acts as an agent for the shipper and does not issue a HAWB or a HOBL include only the commission and fees earned for the services performed.  These revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.

Customs brokerage and other services involves provide multiple services at destination including clearing shipments through customs by preparing required documentation, calculating and providing for payment of duties and other charges on behalf of the customers, arranging for any required inspections, and arranging for final delivery.  These revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.

The movement of freight may require multiple services. In most instances the Company may perform multiple services including destination break bulk and value added services such as local transportation, distribution services and logistics management.  Each of these services has separate fee that is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.

Customers will frequently request an all-inclusive rate for a set of services that is known in the industry as “door-to-door services.”  In these cases, the customer is billed a single rate for all services from pickup at origin to delivery.  The allocation of revenue and expense among the components of services when provided under an all inclusive rate are done in an objective manner on a fair value basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”

B. Computer Software Sales, Support and Maintenance

The Company recognizes revenue, including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the provisions of the SEC’s Staff Accounting bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”), and EITF 00-21, Revenue Agreements with Multiple Deliverables.  Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products and services are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet.

C. Food Sales

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of products has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  This generally means that we recognize revenue when title to our products is transferred to our customers.  Title usually transfers upon shipment to or receipt at our customer’s locations, as determined by the specific sales terms of each transaction.

Our customers can earn certain incentives, which are included as deductions from revenue in the consolidated statements of operations.  To date, these incentives include, but are not limited to, cash discounts for early payment of our invoices.
 
Estimates

While judgments and estimates are a necessary component of any system of accounting, the Company’s use of estimates is limited primarily to the following areas that in the aggregate are not a major component of the Company’s consolidated statements of income:

 
a.
accounts receivable valuation;
 
b.
the useful lives of long-term assets;
 
c.
the accrual of costs related to ancillary services the Company provides; and
 
d.
accrual of tax expense on an interim basis.

Management believes that the methods utilized in all of these areas are non-aggressive in approach and consistent in application. Management believes that there are limited, if any, alternative accounting principles or methods which could be applied to the Company’s transactions. While the use of estimates means that actual future results may be different from those contemplated by the estimates, the Company believes that alternative principles and methods used for making such estimates would not produce materially different results than those reported.
