Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

(Unaudited)

 

1. Recent Developments

Equity Investment

On September 2, 2011, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2011 (the “Investment Agreement”), by and among Jacobs Private Equity, LLC (“JPE”), the other investors party thereto (collectively with JPE, the “Investors”) and XPO Logistics, Inc. (formerly Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), the Company issued 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 “Series A Preferred Stock”), which are initially convertible into an aggregate of 10,714,286 shares of common stock, and (ii) warrants initially exercisable for an aggregate of 10,714,286 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $7.00 per common share (the “Warrants”). The Company’s stockholders approved the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders on September 1, 2011. We refer to this investment as the “Equity Investment.” See Notes 6 and 7.

Change of Company Name

In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, the name of the Company was changed from “Express-1 Expedited Solutions, Inc.” to “XPO Logistics, Inc.” on September 2, 2011. The Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation effecting the name change at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders on September 1, 2011.

Reverse Stock Split

In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, the Company effected a 4-for-1 reverse stock split on September 2, 2011. The Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation effecting the reverse stock split at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders on September 1, 2011. Unless otherwise noted, all share-related amounts herein reflect the reverse stock split.

In connection with the reverse stock split, stockholders received one new share of common stock for every four shares of common stock held at the effective time. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of outstanding common stock from 33,011,561 to 8,252,891. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock and the per share exercise price of those options.

Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

In connection with the closing of the Equity Investment, the number of authorized shares of common stock was increased from 100,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares on September 2, 2011. The Company’s stockholders approved the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation effecting the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock at the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders on September 1, 2011.

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

The Company is a third party logistics provider of freight transportation 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 truck brokerage transportation services to customers throughout the United States. For specific financial information relating to these subsidiaries refer to Note 8 – Operating Segments.

Table of Contents

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of 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.

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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 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 consolidated 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 SEC on August 15, 2011 and available on the SEC’s 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 when 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 Board’s (“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.

 

   

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.

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

At the special meeting of the Company’s stockholders on September 1, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2011 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Plan”), which previously had been approved by the Company’s board of directors. As of September 1, 2011, the 2011 Plan replaced the previously existing Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”). All options outstanding under the 2001 Plan as of September 1, 2011 remained in effect pursuant to the same terms as when originally granted. Certain outstanding options that were granted prior to June 13, 2011 and held by the Company’s executive officers and certain directors vested and became immediately exercisable on September 2, 2011. The Company accounted for this acceleration of vesting under the 2001 Plan by recognizing stock compensation expense of $81,000.

The 2011 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance compensation awards, performance units, cash incentive awards, deferred share units and other equity-based and equity-related awards for up to 839,622 shares of common stock, of which 814,622 shares of common stock remained available as of September 30, 2011, to eligible employees and directors of the Company.

Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock

There was no stock appreciation right or restricted stock activity for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, and there were no such awards outstanding at September 30, 2011.

Restricted Stock Units

In September 2011, the Company granted 87,500 restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSUs expire 10 years from the grant date. The RSUs vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period from the date of grant. The Company intends to settle vested RSUs through the issuance of one share of common stock per RSU. The RSUs are reported as equity and valued based on the market price of the common stock at the grant date of the RSUs. The stock-based compensation expense for RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was not material. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $657,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs that is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted average period of four years.

Stock Options

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company granted 218,750 options to purchase shares of its common stock while cancelling or retiring 2,750 options in the same period. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted 158,750 options to purchase shares of its common stock while cancelling or retiring 75,250 options in the same period. As of September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, the Company had 842,000 and 782,500 options outstanding, respectively. During the life of the 2001 Plan, 243,500 stock options have been exercised. Options granted under the 2001 Plan generally become fully vested three to five years from the date of grant and expire five to 10 years from the grant date. Options granted under the 2011 Plan generally become fully vested four years from the date of grant and expire 10 years from the grant date.

The weighted-average fair value of each stock option recorded in expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and was amortized over the requisite service period of the option. 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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $297,000 and $156,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation related to outstanding stock options.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $1,443,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested outstanding stock options that is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.7 years. Estimated remaining compensation expense related to existing stock-based plans is $140,000 for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $536,000, $462,000, $279,000 and $26,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $2.0 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $1.9 million. As of September 30, 2010, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was $2.2 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was $1.7 million.

125,250 options were exercised during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, and 86,750 options were exercised during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010. Cash proceeds received from the exercise of options for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were $727,000 and $434,000, 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 these estimates 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 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 September 30, 2011.

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 company’s 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. The Company had accrued $250,000 and $135,000 for uncertain tax positions related to certain potential state income taxes as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

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 unit’s 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 Company’s trade name intangible assets with indefinite lives totaled $6.4 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and represented 5.0% of total assets as of September 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. 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, there was no impairment of the identified intangible assets.

The Company’s intangible assets subject to amortization consist of 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.

Table of Contents

Other Long-Term Assets

Other long-term assets consist primarily of balances representing various deposits, 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 management’s 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 Company’s 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 available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income available to common shareholders for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 included a reduction of $44,586,000 as a result of a beneficial conversion charge and dividend with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. See Notes 6 and 7.

Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the combined weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the potential dilution of stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock outstanding during the period, if dilutive. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010, diluted weighted average common shares outstanding included 156,810 and 146,733 shares, respectively, related to the assumed exercise of stock options outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, the weighted average of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share was as follows:

3. 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 expect any of these matters or any of these matters in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s 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.

4. Debt

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 other assets of the Company.

The following table outlines the Company’s debt obligations as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The Company entered into a $5.0 million term loan on March 31, 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 (2.47% as of September 30, 2011).

 

5. Revolving Credit Facility

Line of Credit

On March 31, 2011, the Company amended the credit agreement governing the Company’s revolving credit facility and the term loan described in Note 4 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 Company’s performance under the revolving credit facility and term loan. The revolving credit facility bears interest at the one-month LIBOR plus a current increment of 175 basis points (1.97% as of September 30, 2011).

The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility and the term loan contains certain covenants related to the Company’s 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 September 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.

The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of $410,000 at each of September 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the line of credit balance was $0 and $2,749,000, respectively.

6. Stockholders’ Equity

On June 13, 2011, the Company entered into the Investment Agreement described in Note 1. On September 2, 2011, upon the closing of the Equity Investment, the Company issued to the Investors, for $75,000,000 in cash, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants.

The Series A Preferred Stock has an initial liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is convertible at any time in whole or in part at the option of the holder thereof into shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $7.00 per common share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), for an effective initial aggregate conversion rate of 10,714,286 shares of common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock pays and or accrues quarterly cash dividends equal to the greater of (i) the as-converted dividends on the underlying common stock for the relevant quarter and (ii) 4% of the then-applicable liquidation preference per annum. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any quarter accrete to liquidation preference for all purposes. The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock at September 30, 2011 was $75,000,000. The Series A Preferred Stock votes together with the 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 involving Series A Preferred Stock holder rights.

The Warrants are initially exercisable at any time in whole or in part until September 2, 2021 at the option of the holder thereof for one share of common stock per Warrant at an initial exercise price of $7.00 in cash per common share (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments), for an effective initial aggregate number of shares of common stock subject to Warrants of 10,714,286.

After deducting $3,372,000 of direct incremental issuance costs, the Company received net proceeds of $71,628,000 for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants, which was recorded in equity based on the relative fair values of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants, resulting in $42,794,000 allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock and $28,834,000 allocated to the Warrants.

The conversion feature of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined to be a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) based on the effective initial conversion price and the market value of the Company’s common stock at the commitment date for the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock. ASC Topic 470, “Debt”, requires recognition of the BCF related to the Series A Preferred Stock as a discount on the Series A Preferred Stock and amortization of such amount as a deemed distribution through the earliest conversion date. The calculated value of the BCF was in excess of the relative fair value of net proceeds allocated to the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company therefore recorded a discount on the Series A Preferred Stock of $44,211,000 with immediate recognition of this amount as a deemed distribution as the Series A Preferred Stock is convertible at any time.

 

7. Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, on September 2, 2011, the Company paid JPE $1,000,000 as reimbursement for certain expenses incurred by JPE in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, which reduced the net proceeds received for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants. With the approval of the audit committee of the Company’s board of directors, the Company also agreed to pay an incremental $261,000 of expenses incurred by JPE in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement. In addition, with the approval of the Company’s board of directors, the Company agreed to pay JPE $297,000 as reimbursement for certain executive search firm expenses incurred by JPE on behalf of the Company.

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, who continued to be employed by the Company as of September 30, 2011. 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% 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 employee’s employment. The note and accrued interest will be paid by the employee in the form of performance bonuses in the future. As of September 30, 2011, the note had an outstanding balance of $140,000, of which approximately $25,000 was classified as a current note receivable based on the expected bonus to be paid to the employee in 2012, and approximately $115,000 was classified as a long-term note receivable.

8. Operating Segments

The Company has three reportable operating segments based on the type of service provided to its customers:

Express-1, Inc. provides time-critical expedited transportation to its customers, most typically via carrier arrangements that assign one truck to a load, with a specified delivery time requirement. Most of the services provided by Express-1 are completed via a fleet of exclusive-use vehicles that are owned and operated by independent contract drivers.

Concert Group Logistics, Inc. (CGL) provides freight forwarding services through a network of independently owned stations and Company-owned branches located throughout the United States.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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 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 Company’s business and operations 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 potential inability to identify and consummate acquisitions and arrange adequate financing. All of the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date hereof. All of the forward-looking statements included 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 obligation 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 audited 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. “Management’s 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 September 30, 2011, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies.

New Pronouncements

The Company’s management does not believe that any recent codified pronouncements by the FASB will have a material impact on the Company’s current or future consolidated financial statements.

Executive Summary

XPO Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”), a Delaware corporation, is a third party logistics provider of freight transportation services through three non-asset based or asset-light business units: Express-1, Inc. (“Express-1”), Concert Group Logistics, Inc. (“CGL”) and Bounce Logistics, Inc. (“Bounce”). These wholly owned subsidiaries provide services complementary to each other, effectively giving the Company a platform for expansion in three distinct areas of the transportation industry.

CGL    Downers Grove, Illinois    Freight Forwarding    January 2008
Bounce    South Bend, Indiana    Premium Truck Brokerage    March 2008

Express-1, Inc. was founded in 1989 and acquired in 2004. Express-1 provides time-critical expedited transportation to its customers, most typically through carrier arrangements that assign one truck to a load, with a specified delivery time requirement. Most of the services provided by Express-1 are completed via a fleet of exclusive-use vehicles that are owned and operated by independent contract drivers.

Concert Group Logistics, Inc. (CGL) was founded in 2001 and acquired in 2008. CGL provides freight forwarding services through a network of independently owned stations and Company-owned branches located throughout the United States. These stations and branches are responsible for selling and operating freight forwarding transportation services within their geographic area under the authority of CGL. In October 2009, certain assets and liabilities of LRG International Inc. (now known as CGL International) were purchased to complement the operations of CGL through two Florida branches that primarily provide international freight forwarding services. The financial reporting of this operation has been included with CGL.

Bounce Logistics, Inc. was founded as a start-up operation by the Company in 2008. Bounce provides premium truck brokerage transportation services to customers in North America through a centralized service center and a field sales team responsible for establishing and managing customer relationships.

Strategy for Growth

The Company generally does not own its own trucks, ships or planes; instead we use a network of relationships with ground, ocean and air carriers to find the best transportation solutions for our customers. This allows capital to be invested primarily in expanding the Company’s workforce of talented people who are adept in the critical areas of competitive selling, price negotiation, carrier relations and customer service.

Following a significant investment by JPE in the Company in September 2011, the Company began to implement a growth strategy that will leverage its strengths – including management expertise, substantial liquidity and potential access to additional capital – in pursuit of profitable growth. Our strategy anticipates that this will be facilitated by a highly experienced executive team recently put in place, and by new technology that will integrate the Company’s operations on a shared platform for cross-company benchmarking and analysis.

Our growth strategy focuses on the following three key areas:

Targeted acquisitions — The Company intends to make selective acquisitions of non-asset based logistics truck brokerage businesses that would benefit from our greater scale and potential access to capital, and may make similar acquisitions of freight forwarding, expedited and intermodal service businesses, among others. We believe that the Company is in a position to make the first phase of acquisitions by using existing cash balances, together with the funds expected to be generated from operations and funds available under our revolving credit facility, and potentially by expanding our credit facilities.

Organic growth — The Company is planning to add a significant number of new truck brokerage offices throughout North America, and is actively recruiting managers with a track record of building successful broker operations. We expect the new brokerage offices to generate revenue growth by developing customer and carrier relationships in new territories.

Optimized operations — The Company intends to accelerate the earnings performance of its existing operations, acquired companies and greenfield locations by investing in an expanded sales and service workforce, implementing an advanced IT infrastructure, incorporating industry best practices, and leveraging scale to share capacity more efficiently and increase buying power.

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 customers as well as fuel surcharges paid to 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 Company’s 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 is discussed within management’s discussion and analysis of Express-1.

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 therefore we have not included an analysis of fuel surcharges for these two operating segments. We believe this is a common practice within the freight forwarding and freight brokerage business sectors.

Table of Contents

This discussion and analysis refers from time to time to Express-1’s international operations. These operations consist of freight shipments that originate in or are 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 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.

This discussion and analysis also refers from time to time to CGL’s 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 CGL’s more recent focus on international freight through its purchase of LRG International, Inc. (now known as CGL International), and because we believe that international freight has significant 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, the Company’s consolidated revenue for the third quarter was 6.6% greater than in the same period in 2010. This growth was driven primarily by increased international revenue 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 conditions. Our overall gross margin for the third quarter of 2011 was 17.3%, a decrease when compared to 18.3% in the third quarter of 2010. The decrease in gross margin can be attributed primarily to the following items:

 

   

International shipments at Express-1 tend to be higher revenue transactions, but historically have generated a lower gross margin percentage. As international revenue becomes a larger component of revenue, it is expected to continue to impact the gross margin percentage.

 

   

Bounce continues to grow at a higher rate than Express-1 and CGL. Bounce’s historically lower gross margin percentage compared with Express-1 will decrease the Company’s overall margin to the extent it becomes a larger percentage of our total revenue.

 

   

Express-1 results in the third quarter of 2010 were positively impacted by floods in Mexico that generated significantly higher margins than normal.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of revenue were 16.4% in the third quarter of 2011, an increase from 11.7% in the same period last year. Overall, SG&A expenses increased by $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, resulting primarily from an increase of $2.4 million in purchased services, of which approximately $700,000 represented indirect expenses associated with the Equity Investment and $1.6 million represented recruiting and other costs related to new executive team appointments. Additionally, salary and benefits increased by $122,000.

The Company finished the three-months ended September 30, 2011 with $190,000 in net income, which is an 89.0% decrease when compared to $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2010. Lower gross margins, indirect transaction costs related to the Equity Investment and professional search fees contributed to the reduction in net income.

Express-1

Express-1 generated third quarter revenue of $23.4 million, reflecting growth of 9.4% compared to the same period in 2010. As Express-1 continued to increase its international operations, its Mexican and Canadian cross-border freight represented 22.6% of revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to 20.2% of revenue for the same period in 2010.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, fuel surcharge revenue represented 16.5% of revenue as compared to 12.1% in the same period in 2010. Rising fuel prices positively impacted gross margin percentage in the quarter as our fuel charge revenue mix with our customers became more favorable.

Express-1’s gross margin percentage was 21.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 24.8% for the same quarter in 2010. Reasons for the decrease in gross margin percentage include:

 

   

The increase in international transactions, which are typically higher revenue shipments at a lower gross margin percentage than our domestic transactions;

 

   

A higher percentage of shipments placed through brokered carriers, associated mainly with the growth in international business. All cross-border moves are handled by brokered carriers; and

 

   

Express-1 results in the third quarter of 2010 were positively impacted by floods in Mexico that generated significantly higher margins than normal.

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 are also utilized to more efficiently handle freight that crosses

into Canada or Mexico. This component of Express-1’s purchased transportation costs is critical to our ongoing success; however, gross margin percentages relating to this business are typically lower than margins associated with our own fleet of independent contractors. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, 34.2% of Express-1’s revenue was carried by brokered carriers as compared to 32.6% in the same quarter in 2010. The increase was due primarily to the growth of our international business.

SG&A expenses decreased by $224,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Of the decrease in SG&A, $115,000 of the decrease relates to a reduction in costs associated with the change from self-funded insurance to a traditional plan, which has stabilized expenses. Salaries, purchased services and depreciation and amortization remained relatively flat between these comparable periods.

Operating income was consistent between the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, with $2.5 million in operating income for both periods.

Management’s growth strategy for Express-1 is based on:

 

   

Targeted investments to expand the sales and service workforce, in order to capture key opportunities in specialized areas (e.g., refrigeration and defense);

 

   

An increased focus on carrier recruitment and retention, as well as improved utilization of the current carrier fleet;

 

   

Technology upgrades to improve efficiency in sales and carrier procurement; and

 

   

Selective acquisitions of non-asset based expedited businesses that would benefit from our scale and potential access to capital.

CGL

CGL’s revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 decreased to $16.9 million from revenue of $18.6 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of certain lost revenue from larger customers and specific project work from 2010 that was not offset by revenue gains in other areas.

Direct expenses consisted primarily of payments for purchased transportation and payments to CGL’s independent offices that control the overall operation of our customers’ shipments. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses improved to 89.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to 89.8% for the same period in 2010. The gross margin percentage in the third quarter of 2011 increased to 11.0%. The improvement reflects a favorable change in service mix, specifically an increase in international business and a decrease in lower-margin deferred shipments.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue remained constant at 7.2% of revenue for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Overall, SG&A expenses decreased in the third quarter of 2011 by $120,000 as compared to the same period in 2010.

Primarily as a result of the factors discussed above, CGL’s second quarter operating income increased 15.8% to $639,000 in 2011 compared to $552,000 for the same period in 2010.

As of September 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.

Management’s growth strategy for CGL is based on:

 

   

Plans to open new offices in key U.S. markets, which will consist of both Company-owned and independently operated stations;

 

   

Increased international growth, with a focus on Asia and Latin America;

 

   

Technology upgrades to improve efficiency in sales and carrier procurement; and

 

   

Selective acquisitions of complementary, non-asset based freight forwarding businesses.

Bounce

Bounce continues to see significant growth, with revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increasing by 44.8% to $8.2 million, compared to revenue of $5.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. Revenue growth was largely driven by expansion of the Bounce customer base resulting from a year-over-year headcount increase of eight salespeople in the quarter.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, Bounce’s direct transportation expenses remained constant at 83.5% as a percentage of revenue, compared to the same period in 2010. Additional volume coupled with gross margin of 16.5% added an additional $417,000 of gross margin, compared to the same period last year.

As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs decreased to 10.4% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 11.6% for the third quarter of 2010. Overall SG&A expenses increased by $198,000 for the quarter compared to the same period in 2010. Salaries and benefits increased by $209,000, due primarily to an increase in head count. Purchased services, other expenses and depreciation and amortization remained relatively unchanged for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The above items resulted in operating income of $499,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 78.2% from $280,000 for the same period last year.

Management’s growth strategy for Bounce is based on:

 

   

Investment in an expanded sales and service workforce;

 

   

Technology upgrades to improve efficiency in sales and carrier procurement; and

 

   

The integration of industry best practices, with specific focus on better leveraging our scale and lowering administrative overhead.

Management’s growth strategy for the broader truck brokerage segment is based on:

 

   

Selective acquisitions of non-asset based truck brokerage firms that would benefit from our scale and potential access to capital;

 

   

The opening of a significant number of new truck brokerage offices in the U.S.; and

 

   

Investments in an expanded sales and service workforce, supported by sophisticated technology for sales, freight tracking and carrier procurement.

Corporate

Corporate costs for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 increased by $2.7 million as compared to the same period in 2010. As a percentage of revenue, corporate costs increased to 6.6% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared with 1.0% in the same period in 2010. This increase was primarily due to approximately $700,000 of indirect expenses related to the Equity Investment, and $1.6 million of recruiting and other costs related to new executive team appointments. Additionally, salary and benefits increased by $193,000.

Consolidated Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue for each of the business units increased when compared to the same period in 2010. In total, our revenue for the first nine months of 2011 was 14.2% greater than for the comparable period in 2010. This organic growth comes primarily from our international revenue at Express-1 and continued 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 conditions. Our overall gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 17.0%, a decrease when compared to 18.0% in the comparable nine 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 our 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 Bounce’s historically lower margin percentage will decrease the Company’s overall margin percentage. Market conditions remain highly competitive, which also can contribute to a lower gross margin percentage.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 11.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 13.9% for the same period in 2011. Overall, SG&A expenses increased by $4.6 million for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, reflecting increases of $1.0 million in salaries and benefits, $3.1 million in purchased services and $470,000 in total other expenses. $1.0 million of the SG&A increase represented indirect costs including accounting, attorney and various other expenses related to the Equity Investment, and $1.6 million represented recruiting and other costs related to new executive team appointments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s net income decreased by $1.8 million to $2.2 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to the factors noted above.

Express-1

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, Express-1 generated $67.2 million in revenue, which represented an increase of 15.5% compared to the same period in 2010. As Express-1 continued to increase its international operations, revenue related to Mexican and Canadian cross-border freight transactions increased by $5.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Express-1’s customer base continues to diversify both geographically and by industry, and we believe that growth will come from both existing customers who will increase their shipping volumes, and additional freight moved for new customers.

Fuel prices have remained higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This has resulted in a corresponding increase in fuel surcharge revenue as a percentage of total revenue. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, fuel surcharge revenue represented 16.6% of revenue as compared to 12.1% for the same period in 2010. This increase in fuel surcharge positively impacted gross margin percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Express-1’s gross margin percentage was 20.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 23.8% for the same period in 2010. One reason for the significant decrease in gross margin percentage is the mixture of international revenue and revenue from large customers, who tend to carry lower gross margin percentages. In addition, brokered carriers are utilized by Express-1 to more efficiently handle freight that crosses into Canada or Mexico. This component of Express-1’s purchased transportation cost is critical to our ongoing success; however, gross margin percentages relating to this business are typically lower than gross margin percentages associated with our own fleet of independent contractors. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, 32.6% of Express-1’s revenue was associated with brokered carriers as compared to 29.6% in the same period in 2010.

SG&A as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased to 11.4%, compared to 12.3% for the same period in 2010. SG&A expenses increased by $525,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Of the increase in SG&A, $236,000 related to other expenses. An increase of $80,000

in travel, meals and entertainment was the largest component of this difference. Purchased services increased by $200,000 during the period, the largest component relating to custom software improvements. Additionally, salaries and benefits increased by $134,000 related to an increase in headcount at Express-1.

Operating income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011 was $6.4 million, compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2010, representing a decrease of $300,000. This decrease was due primarily to the decrease in gross margin percentage.

CGL

CGL experienced slight growth during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Revenue of $48.4 million compared favorably to revenue of $47.6 million for the same period in 2010, representing a 1.6% increase.

Direct expenses consisted primarily of payments for purchased transportation and payments to CGL’s independent offices that control the overall operation of our customers’ shipments. As a percentage of revenue, direct expenses represented 89.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 89.6% for the same period in 2010. CGL’s gross margin percentage improved to 10.9%, compared to 10.4% for the same period in 2010.

SG&A stayed relatively consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. SG&A expenses represented 7.7% of revenue for the period, compared to 7.5% of revenue for the same period in 2010. Overall expenses increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 by $159,000 as compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to increased salaries and benefits relating to additional staff employed during the period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, CGL’s operating income was $1.5 million, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2010. This increase of 10.8% was due primarily to improved margins and SG&A efficiency.

As of September 30, 2011, the Company maintained a network of 23 independent offices and two Company-owned branches. The number of stations was similar to the same period in 2010.

Bounce

Bounce continues to see significant growth, with revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increasing by 55.0% to $20.9 million compared to revenue of $13.5 million for the same period in 2010. The revenue growth can be attributed in part to a focus on increasing our customer base through investments in sales headcount and marketing.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Bounce’s direct transportation expenses increased to 84.2% as a percentage of revenue, as compared to 83.6% for the same period in 2010. We believe that this increase reflects a tightening of truck capacity in the marketplace as growth in demand has outpaced supply. The impact on the gross margin percentage has been more than offset by additional business in the period, as an additional $1.1 million in gross margin was generated for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. We continue to have confidence in Bounce’s ability to grow and access truck capacity for the remainder of 2011.

As a percentage of revenue, SG&A costs fell to 11.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 12.6% in the same period in 2010. Overall SG&A expenses increased by $803,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Salaries and benefits increased by $563,000 resulting from the addition of employees between September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2011. Other expenses increased by $178,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily as a result of increases in advertising of approximately $60,000, and travel, meals and entertainment expense increases of approximately $30,000. Bounce is also investing resources in the area of capacity management, which we believe will generate more capacity moving forward.

The above items have resulted in Bounce generating operating income of $809,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $518,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

associated with the Equity Investment as mentioned above. In addition the Company has incurred $1.6 million of recruiting and other costs related to new executive team appointments.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a non-GAAP financial measure as defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. “EBITDA” is defined as net income increased by the sum of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance because it allows management, investors and others to evaluate and compare our core operating results from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization) and tax consequences. In addition to its use by management, we believe EBITDA is a measure widely used by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the financial performance of companies in our industry. Other companies may calculate EBITDA differently, and therefore our EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or liquidity under United States generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operating activities and other measures determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from EBITDA are significant and necessary components of the operations of our business, and, therefore, EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA to net income for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 and the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

As of September 30, 2011, we had $84.2 million of working capital with associated cash of $71.5 million compared with working capital of $12.3 million and cash of $561,000 as of December 31, 2010. This represents an increase of $71.9 million or 584.1% in working capital during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the net proceeds of cash received relating to the Equity Investment which closed on September 2, 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 existing operations for the next 12 months.

Cash Flow

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $3.3 million was generated in cash from operations compared to the generation of $203,000 for the comparable period in 2010. The primary source of cash for the nine-month period ended September 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 $131.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $107.6 million for the same period in 2010 and correlates directly with revenue increases between the two periods. Cash flow

increases are related primarily to volume increases and a decrease in our average days outstanding in accounts receivable by eight days between the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Cash used for payment of transportation services for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 equaled $111.2 million as compared to $92.2 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 nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010.

Other operating uses of cash included SG&A items, which equaled $16.0 million and $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Significant SG&A items include payroll and purchased services. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, payroll expenses equaled $9.7 million as compared to $8.7 million for the same period in 2010. Included in the $9.7 million in payroll expenses is $294,000 of increased payroll incentives accrued during the period, which will be paid in future periods.

Investing activities used approximately $883,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a use of $480,000 from these activities during the comparable period in 2010. During this period, cash was used to purchase fixed assets of $442,000 in addition to our initial earn-out payment of $450,000 to the former owners of LRG International. During the same period in 2010 the Company used $482,000 to purchase fixed assets.

Financing activities generated approximately $68.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $733,000 for the same period in 2010. Sources of cash from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included $71.6 million of net proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants and $727,000 in proceeds from the exercise of options. The primary uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were payments on our line of credit of $2.7 million and payments on our term loan of $1.2 million. During the same period in 2010, sources of cash from financing activities included $5.0 million of proceeds from our term loan, in addition to $434,000 in proceeds associated with the exercise of stock options during the period. Uses of cash for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included payments on term debt of $2.2 million and net payments on the line of credit of $2.5 million.

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 (2.47% as of September 30, 2011).

On March 31, 2011, the Company amended the credit agreement governing the Company’s 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 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 Company’s 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 (1.97% as of September 30, 2011).

The credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility and the term loan contains certain covenants related to the Company’s 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 September 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.

The Company had outstanding standby letters of credit as of September 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.
