The Company
Radiant Logistics, Inc. (the "Company," "we" or "us") is a non-asset based transportation and logistics services company providing customers domestic and international freight forwarding services and an expanding array of value added supply chain management services, including order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing. We are executing a strategy to expand our operations through a combination of organic growth and the strategic acquisition of best-of-breed, non-asset based transportation and logistics providers.
We completed the first step in our business strategy through the acquisition of Airgroup Corporation ("Airgroup") effective as of January 1, 2006. Airgroup is a Bellevue, Washington based non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding services through a network which includes a combination of company-owned and exclusive agent offices across North America.
We continue to identify a number of additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and have completed three material acquisitions since our acquisition of Airgroup. In November 2007, we acquired the Automotive Services Group in Detroit, Michigan to service the automotive industry. In September 2008, we acquired Adcom Express, Inc. d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), adding an additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting our overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April of 2011, we acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air ("DBA"), adding an additional 25 locations across North America, further expanding our fiscal network and service capabilities.
In connection with the acquisition of Adcom, we changed the name of Airgroup Corporation to Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. ("RGL") in order to better position our centralized back-office operations to service our multi-brand network. RGL, through the Airgroup, Adcom and DBA network brands, has a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers and international agents positioned strategically around the world.
Our growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and acquisitions. From an organic perspective, we will focus on strengthening existing and expanding new customer relationships. One of the drivers of our organic growth will be retaining existing and securing new exclusive agency locations. We have focused our efforts on the build-out of our network of exclusive agency offices, as well as enhancing our back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems. We will continue to search for targets which fit within our acquisition criteria.
As we continue to build out our network of exclusive agent locations to achieve a level of critical mass and scale, we are executing an acquisition strategy to develop additional growth opportunities. Our acquisition strategy relies upon two primary factors: first, our ability to identify and acquire target businesses which fit within our general acquisition criteria; and second, the continued availability of capital and financing resources sufficient to complete these acquisitions.
Successful implementation of our growth strategy depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to: (i) continue developing new agency locations; (ii) locate acquisition opportunities; (iii) secure adequate funding to finance identified acquisition opportunities; (iv) efficiently integrate the businesses of the companies acquired; (v) generate the anticipated economies of scale from the integration; and (vi) maintain the historic sales growth of the acquired businesses in order to generate continued organic growth. There are a variety of risks associated with our ability to achieve our strategic objectives, including the ability to acquire and profitably manage additional businesses and the intense competition in the industry for customers and for acquisition candidates. Certain of these business risks are identified or referred to below in Item 1A of this Report.
2
We will continue to search for targets that fit within our acquisition criteria. Our ability to secure additional financing will rely upon the sale of debt or equity securities, and the development of an active trading market for our securities. We can make no assurance as to our long term access to debt or equity securities or our ability to develop an active trading market.
Industry Overview
As business requirements for efficient and cost-effective logistics services have increased, so has the importance and complexity of effectively managing freight transportation. Businesses increasingly strive to minimize inventory levels, perform manufacturing and assembly operations in the lowest cost locations, and distribute their products in numerous global markets. As a result, companies are increasingly looking to third-party logistics providers to help them execute their supply chain strategies.
Customers have two principal third-party alternatives: a freight forwarder or a fully-integrated carrier. We operate as a freight forwarder. Freight forwarders procure shipments from customers and arrange the transportation of cargo on a carrier. A freight forwarder may also arrange pick-up from the shipper to the carrier and delivery of the shipment from the carrier to the recipient. Freight forwarders often tailor shipment routing to meet the customer’s price and service requirements. Fully-integrated carriers, such as FedEx Corporation, DHL Worldwide Express, Inc. and United Parcel Service ("UPS"), provide pickup and delivery service, primarily through their own captive fleets of trucks and aircraft. Because freight forwarders select from various transportation options in routing customer shipments, they are often able to serve customers less expensively and with greater flexibility than integrated carriers. Freight forwarders generally handle shipments of any size and offer a variety of customized shipping options.
Most freight forwarders, including us, focus on heavier cargo and do not generally compete with integrated shippers of primarily smaller parcels. In addition to the high fixed expenses associated with owning, operating and maintaining fleets of aircraft, trucks and related equipment, integrated carriers often impose significant restrictions on delivery schedules and shipment weight, size and type. On occasion, integrated shippers serve as a source of cargo space to forwarders. Additionally, most freight forwarders do not generally compete with the major commercial airlines, which, to some extent, depend on forwarders to procure shipments and supply freight to fill cargo space on their scheduled flights.
We believe there are several factors that are increasing demand for global logistics solutions. These factors include:
|
|
·
|
Outsourcing of non-core activities. Companies increasingly outsource freight forwarding, warehousing and other supply chain activities to allow them to focus on their respective core competencies. From managing purchase orders to the timely delivery of products, companies turn to third party logistics providers to manage these functions at a lower cost and greater efficiency.
|
|
|
·
|
Globalization of trade. As barriers to international trade are reduced or substantially eliminated, international trade is increasing. In addition, companies increasingly are sourcing their parts, supplies and raw materials from the most cost competitive suppliers throughout the world. Outsourcing of manufacturing functions to, or locating company-owned manufacturing facilities in, low cost areas of the world also results in increased volumes of world trade.
|
|
|
·
|
Increased need for time-definite delivery. The need for just-in-time and other time-definite delivery has increased as a result of the globalization of manufacturing, greater implementation of demand-driven supply chains, the shortening of product cycles and the increasing value of individual shipments. Many businesses recognize that increased spending on time-definite supply chain management services can decrease overall manufacturing and distribution costs, reduce capital requirements and allow them to manage their working capital more efficiently by reducing inventory levels and inventory loss.
|
3
|
|
Consolidation of global logistics providers. Companies are decreasing the number of freight forwarders and supply chain management providers with which they interact. We believe companies want to transact business with a limited number of providers that are familiar with their requirements, processes and procedures, and can function as long-term partners. In addition, there is strong pressure on national and regional freight forwarders and supply chain management providers to become aligned with a global network. Larger freight forwarders and supply chain management providers benefit from economies of scale which enable them to negotiate reduced transportation rates and to allocate their overhead over a larger volume of transactions. Globally integrated freight forwarders and supply chain management providers are better situated to provide a full complement of services, including pick-up and delivery, shipment via air, sea and/or road transport, warehousing and distribution, and customs brokerage.
|
|
|
·
|
Increasing influence of e-business and the Internet. Technology advances have allowed businesses to connect electronically through the Internet to obtain relevant information and make purchase and sale decisions on a real-time basis, resulting in decreased transaction times and increased business-to-business activity. In response to their customers' expectations, companies have recognized the benefits of being able to transact business electronically. As such, businesses increasingly are seeking the assistance of supply chain service providers with sophisticated information technology systems which can facilitate real-time transaction processing and web-based shipment monitoring.
|
Our Growth Strategy
Our objective is to provide customers with comprehensive value-added logistics solutions. We plan to achieve this goal through domestic and international freight forwarding services offered by us through our Airgroup, Adcom and DBA brands. We expect to grow our business organically and by completing acquisitions of other companies with complementary geographical and logistics service offerings.
Our organic growth strategy involves strengthening existing and expanding new customer relationships. One of the drivers of this strategy is our ability to retain existing and secure new exclusive agency locations. Since our acquisition of Airgroup, we have focused our efforts on the organic build-out of our network of exclusive agency locations, as well as the enhancement of our back office infrastructure and transportation and accounting systems. Through our most recent acquisition of DBA, we have made further progress in our acquisition strategy and intend to pursue further acquisition opportunities to consolidate and enhance our position in current markets and acquire operations in new markets.
Our growth strategy has been designed to take advantage of shifting market dynamics. The third party logistics industry continues to grow as an increasing number of businesses outsource their logistics functions to more cost effectively manage and extract value from their supply chains. The industry is positioned for further consolidation as it remains highly fragmented, and as customers are demanding the types of sophisticated and broad reaching service offerings that can more effectively be handled by larger more diverse organizations. We believe the highly fragmented composition of the marketplace, the industry participants' need for capital, and their owners' desire for liquidity has and will continue to produce a large number of attractive acquisition candidates. More specifically, we believe that there are a number of participants within the agent-based forwarding community that will be seeking liquidity within the next several years as these owners approach retirement age, which creates a significant growth opportunity by supporting these logistics entrepreneurs in transition. Our target acquisition candidates are generally expected to have earnings of $1.0 to $5.0 million per year. Companies in this range of earnings may be receptive to our acquisition program since they are often too small to be identified as acquisition targets by larger public companies or to independently attempt their own public offerings.
On a longer-term basis, we believe we can successfully implement our acquisition strategy due to the following factors:
|
|
·
|
the highly fragmented composition of our market;
|
|
|
·
|
our strategy for creating an organization with global reach should enhance an acquired target company’s ability to compete in its local and regional markets through an expansion of offered services and lower operating costs;
|
|
|
·
|
the potential for increased profitability as a result of our centralization of certain administrative functions, greater purchasing power and economies of scale;
|
4
|
|
·
|
our centralized management capabilities should enable us to effectively manage our growth and the integration of acquired companies;
|
|
|
·
|
our status as a public corporation may ultimately provide us with a liquid trading currency for acquisitions; and
|
|
|
·
|
the ability to utilize our experienced management to identify, acquire and integrate acquisition opportunities.
|
We intend to be opportunistic in executing our acquisition strategy with a bias towards completing transactions in key gateway locations such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Miami, Dallas, and Houston to expand our international base of operations. We believe that our domestic and expanded international capabilities, when taken together, will provide significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Our Operating Strategy
Leverage the People, Process and Technology Available through a Central Platform. A key element of our operating strategy is to maximize our operational efficiencies by integrating general and administrative functions into our back-office operations and reducing or eliminating redundant functions and facilities at acquired companies. This is designed to enable us to quickly realize potential savings and synergies, efficiently control and monitor operations of acquired companies, and allow acquired companies to focus on growing their sales and operations.
Develop and Maintain Strong Customer Relationships. We seek to develop and maintain strong interactive customer relationships by anticipating and focusing on our customers' needs. We emphasize a relationship-oriented approach to business, rather than the transaction or assignment-oriented approach used by many of our competitors. To develop close customer relationships, we and our network of exclusive agents regularly meet with both existing and prospective clients to help design solutions for, and identify the resources needed to execute, their supply chain strategies. We believe that this relationship-oriented approach results in greater customer satisfaction and reduced business development expense.
Operations
Through our operating locations across North America, we offer domestic and international air, ocean and ground freight forwarding for shipments that are generally larger than shipments handled by integrated carriers of primarily small parcels such as Federal Express Corporation and United Parcel Service. Our revenues are generated from a number of diverse services, including air freight forwarding, ocean freight forwarding, logistics and other value-added services.
Our primary business operations involve obtaining shipment or material orders from customers, creating and delivering a wide range of logistics solutions to meet customers' specific requirements for transportation and related services, and arranging and monitoring all aspects of material flow activity utilizing advanced information technology systems. These logistics solutions include domestic and international freight forwarding and door-to-door delivery services using a wide range of transportation modes, including air, ocean and truck. As a non-asset based provider we do not own the transportation equipment used to transport the freight. We expect to neither own nor operate any aircraft and, consequently, place no restrictions on delivery schedules or shipment size. We arrange for transportation of our customers’ shipments via commercial airlines, air cargo carriers, and other assets and non-asset based third-party providers. We select the carrier for a shipment based on route, departure time, available cargo capacity and cost. We charter cargo aircraft from time to time depending upon seasonality, freight volumes and other factors. We make a profit or margin on the difference between what we charge to our customers for the totality of services provided to them, and what we pay to the transportation provider to transport the freight.
5
The regular enhancement of our information systems and ultimate migration of acquired companies and additional exclusive agency locations to a common set of back-office and customer facing applications is a key component of our growth strategy. We believe that the ability to provide accurate real-time information on the status of shipments will become increasingly important and that our efforts in this area will result in competitive service advantages. In addition, we believe that centralizing our transportation management system (rating, routing, tender and financial settlement processes) will drive significant productivity improvement across our network.
We utilize a web-enabled third-party freight forwarding software (Cargowise) which is integrated to our third-party accounting system (SAP). These systems combine to form the foundation of our supply-chain technologies, which we call "Globalvision", and which provides us with a common set of back-office operating, accounting and customer facing applications used across our network. We have and will continue to assess technologies obtained through our acquisition strategy and expect to develop a "best-of-breed" solution set using a combination of owned and licensed technologies. This strategy will require the investment of significant management and financial resources to deliver these enabling technologies.
Our Competitive Advantages
As a non-asset based third-party logistics provider, we believe that we are well-positioned to provide cost-effective and efficient solutions to address the demand in the marketplace for transportation and logistics services. We believe that the most important competitive factors in our industry are quality of service, including reliability, responsiveness, expertise and convenience, scope of operations, geographic coverage, information technology and price. We believe our primary competitive advantages are: (i) our low cost, non-asset based business model; (ii) our intention to develop a global network; (iii) our information technology resources; and (iv) our diverse customer base.
Non-asset based business model. With relatively no dedicated or fixed operating costs, we are able to leverage our network of exclusive agency offices and offer competitive pricing and flexible solutions to our customers. Moreover, our balanced product offering provides us with revenue streams from multiple sources and enables us to retain customers even as they shift from priority to deferred shipments of their products. We believe our model allows us to provide low-cost solutions to our customers while also generating revenues from multiple modes of transportation and logistics services.
Intention to develop a global network. We intend to focus on expanding our network on a global basis. Once accomplished, this will enable us to provide a closed-loop logistics chain to our customers worldwide. Within North America, our capabilities consist of our pickup and delivery network, ground and air networks, and logistics capabilities. Our ground and pickup and delivery networks enable us to service the growing deferred forwarding market while providing the domestic connectivity for international shipments once they reach North America. In addition, our heavyweight air network provides for competitive costs on shipments, as we have no dedicated charters or leases and can capitalize on available capacity in the market to move our customers’ goods.
Information technology resources. A primary component of our business strategy is the continued development of advanced information systems to continually provide accurate and timely information to our management and customers. Our customer delivery tools enable connectivity with our customers’ and trading partners’ systems, which leads to more accurate and up-to-date information on the status of shipments.
Diverse customer base. We have a well-diversified base of customers that includes manufacturers, distributors and retailers. As of the date of this report, no single customer represented more than 5% of our business and only one agency location represented more than 10% of our business, reducing risks associated with any particular industry, geographic or customer concentration.
6
We principally market our services through the senior management teams in place at over 100 company-owned and exclusive independent agent offices located across North America. Each office is staffed with operational employees to provide support for the sales team, develop frequent contact with the customer’s traffic department, and maintain customer service. Our current network is predominantly represented by exclusive agent operations that rely on us for operating authority, technology, sales and marketing support, access to working capital and our carrier network, and collective purchasing power. Through the agency relationship, the agent has the ability to focus on the operational and sales support aspects of the business without diverting costs or expertise to the structural aspect of its operations and provides the agent with the regional, national and global brand recognition that they would not otherwise be able to achieve by serving their local markets.
As we continue to grow, we expect to implement a national accounts program which is intended to increase our emphasis on obtaining high-revenue national accounts with multiple shipping locations. These accounts typically impose numerous requirements on those competing for their freight business, including electronic data interchange and proof of delivery capabilities, the ability to generate customized shipping reports and a nationwide network of terminals. These requirements often limit the competition for these accounts to a very small number of logistics providers. We believe that our anticipated future growth and development will enable us to more effectively compete for and obtain these accounts.
Research and Development
During the past two years, we have not spent any material amount on research and development activities.
Competition and Business Conditions
The logistics business is directly impacted by the volume of domestic and international trade. The volume of such trade is influenced by many factors, including economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad, major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, acts of war, terrorism and other armed conflicts, United States and international laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, foreign investments and taxation.
The global logistics services and transportation industries are intensively competitive and are expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. We will compete against other integrated logistics companies, as well as transportation services companies, consultants, information technology vendors and shippers' transportation departments. This competition is based primarily on rates, quality of service (such as damage-free shipments, on-time delivery and consistent transit times), reliable pickup and delivery and scope of operations. Most of our competitors will have substantially greater financial resources than we do.
Principal Customers
We have no customers that account for more than 5% of our revenues and one agency location which accounts for more than 10%, but less than 12.5%, of our total gross revenues.
Regulation
There are numerous transportation related regulations. Failure to comply with the applicable regulations or to maintain required permits or licenses could result in substantial fines or revocation of operating permits or authorities. We cannot give assurance as to the degree or cost of future regulations on our business. Some of the regulations affecting our current and prospective operations are described below.
Air freight forwarding businesses are subject to regulation, as an indirect air cargo carrier, under the Federal Aviation Act by the U.S. Department of Transportation and by the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration. However, air freight forwarders are exempted from most of the Federal Aviation Act's requirements by the Economic Aviation Regulations. The air freight forwarding industry is subject to regulatory and legislative changes that can affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the costs of providing, services to customers.
7
Surface freight forwarding operations are subject to various federal statutes and are regulated by the Surface Transportation Board. This federal agency has broad investigatory and regulatory powers, including the power to issue a certificate of authority or license to engage in the business, to approve specified mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, and to regulate the delivery of some types of domestic shipments and operations within particular geographic areas.
The Surface Transportation Board and U.S. Department of Transportation also have the authority to regulate interstate motor carrier operations, including the regulation of certain rates, charges and accounting systems, to require periodic financial reporting, and to regulate insurance, driver qualifications, operation of motor vehicles, parts and accessories for motor vehicle equipment, hours of service of drivers, inspection, repair, maintenance standards and other safety related matters. The federal laws governing interstate motor carriers have both direct and indirect application to the Company. The breadth and scope of the federal regulations may affect our operations and the motor carriers which are used in the provisioning of the transportation services. In certain locations, state or local permits or registrations may also be required to provide or obtain intrastate motor carrier services.
The Federal Maritime Commission, or FMC, regulates and licenses ocean forwarding operations. Indirect ocean carriers (non-vessel operating common carriers) are subject to FMC regulation, under the FMC tariff filing and surety bond requirements, and under the Shipping Act of 1984, particularly those terms proscribing rebating practices.
United States customs brokerage operations are subject to the licensing requirements of the U.S. Treasury and are regulated by the U.S. Customs Service. As we broaden our capabilities to include customs brokerage operations, we will be subject to regulation by the U.S. Customs Service. Likewise, any customs brokerage operations would also be licensed in and subject to the regulations of their respective countries.
In the United States, we are subject to federal, state and local provisions relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise for the protection of the environment. Similar laws apply in many foreign jurisdictions in which we may operate in the future. Although current operations have not been significantly affected by compliance with these environmental laws, governments are becoming increasingly sensitive to environmental issues, and we cannot predict what impact future environmental regulations may have on our business. We do not anticipate making any material capital expenditures for environmental control purposes.
Personnel
As of the date of this report, we have approximately 151 employees, of which 140 are full time. None of these employees are currently covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have experienced no work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are largely dependent on the efforts of our exclusive agents to generate our revenue and service our customers.
We currently sell our services through a network predominantly represented by exclusive agent stations located throughout North America. Although we have exclusive and long-term relationships with these agents, our Airgroup agency agreements are generally terminable by either party subject to requisite notice provisions that generally range from 10-30 days. The Adcom agency agreements generally carry a fixed term and can range from 1 to 25 years and generally include a first-right-of refusal to acquire the location. Although we have no customers that account for more than 5% of our revenues, there is one agency location which accounts for more than 10% of our total gross revenues. The DBA agency agreements generally carry a term of 1 year and automatically renew on each anniversary absent a 90-day notice of termination from either party. The loss of one or more of these exclusive agents could negatively impact our ability to retain and service our customers. We will need to expand our existing relationships and enter into new relationships in order to increase our current and future market share and revenue. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain and expand our existing relationships or enter into new relationships, or that any new relationships will be available on commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to maintain and expand our existing relationships or enter into new relationships, we may lose customers, customer introductions and co-marketing benefits and our operating results may suffer.
8
If we fail to develop and integrate information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our agents and customers and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may suffer a loss in our business.
Increasingly, we compete for business based upon the flexibility, sophistication and security of the information technology systems supporting our services. The failure of the hardware or software that supports our information technology systems, the loss of data contained in the systems, or the inability to access or interact with our web site or connect electronically, could significantly disrupt our operations, prevent clients from placing orders, or cause us to lose inventory items, orders or clients. If our information technology systems are unable to handle additional volume for our operations as our business and scope of services grow, our service levels, operating efficiency and future transaction volumes will decline. In addition, we expect our agents to continue to demand more sophisticated, fully integrated information technology systems from us as customers demand the same from their supply chain services providers. If we fail to hire qualified persons to implement, maintain and protect our information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our agents and customers and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may suffer a loss in our business.
Because our freight forwarding and domestic ground transportation operations are dependent on commercial airfreight carriers and air charter operators, ocean freight carriers, major U.S. railroads, other transportation companies, draymen and longshoremen, changes in available cargo capacity and other changes affecting such carriers, as well as interruptions in service or work stoppages, may negatively impact our business.
We rely on commercial airfreight carriers and air charter operators, ocean freight carriers, trucking companies, major U.S. railroads, other transportation companies, draymen and longshoremen for the movement of our clients’ cargo. Consequently, our ability to provide services for our clients could be adversely impacted by shortages in available cargo capacity; changes by carriers and transportation companies in policies and practices such as scheduling, pricing, payment terms and frequency of service or increases in the cost of fuel, taxes and labor; and other factors not within our control. Reductions in airfreight or ocean freight capacity could negatively impact our yields. Material interruptions in service or stoppages in transportation, whether caused by strike, work stoppage, lock-out, slowdown or otherwise, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our profitability depends on our ability to effectively manage our cost structure as we grow the business.
As we continue to expand our revenues through the expansion of our network of exclusive agency locations, we must maintain an appropriate cost structure to maintain and expand our profitability. While we intend to continue to work on growing revenue by increasing the number of our exclusive agency locations, by strategic acquisitions, and by continuing to work on maintaining and expanding our gross profit margins by reducing transportation costs, our ultimate profitability will be driven by our ability to manage our agent commissions, personnel and general and administrative costs as a function of our net revenues. There can be no assurances that we will be able to increase revenues or maintain profitability.
9
We face intense competition in the freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management industry.
The freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management industry is intensely competitive and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. We face competition from a number of companies, including many that have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. There are a large number of companies competing in one or more segments of the industry, although the number of firms with a global network that offer a full complement of freight forwarding and supply chain management services is more limited. Depending on the location of the customer and the scope of services requested, we must compete against both the niche players and larger entities. In addition, customers increasingly are turning to competitive bidding situations soliciting bids from a number of competitors, including competitors that are larger than us.
Our business is subject to seasonal trends.
Historically, our operating results have been subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. Our first and fourth fiscal quarters are traditionally weaker compared with our second and third fiscal quarters. This trend is dependent on numerous factors, including the markets in which we operate, holiday seasons, climate, economic conditions and numerous other factors. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from clients in industries whose shipping patterns are tied closely to consumer demand which can sometimes be difficult to predict or are based on just-in-time production schedules. Therefore, our revenue is, to a larger degree, affected by factors that are outside of our control. There can be no assurance that our historic operating patterns will continue in future periods as we cannot influence or forecast many of these factors.
Our industry is consolidating and if we cannot gain sufficient market presence in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger, global companies in our industry.
There currently is a marked trend within our industry toward consolidation of the niche players into larger companies that are attempting to increase global operations through the acquisition of regional and local freight forwarders. If we cannot gain sufficient market presence or otherwise establish a successful strategy in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger companies in our industry with global operations.
Our information technology systems are subject to risks which we cannot control.
Our information technology systems are dependent upon third party communications providers, web browsers, telephone systems and other aspects of the Internet infrastructure which have experienced significant system failures and electrical outages in the past. Our systems are susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Despite our implementation of network security measures, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and inhibit our internal operations, and our ability to provide services to our customers.
If we are not able to limit our liability for customers’ claims through contract terms and limit our exposure through the purchase of insurance, we could be required to pay large amounts to our clients as compensation for their claims and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
In general, we seek to limit by contract and/or International Conventions and laws our liability to our clients for loss or damage to their goods to $20 per kilogram (approximately $9.07 per pound) and $500 per carton or customary unit, for ocean freight shipments, again depending on the International Convention. For truck/land based risks there are a variety of limits ranging from a nominal amount to full value. However, because a freight forwarder’s relationship to an airline or ocean carrier is that of a shipper to a carrier, the airline or ocean carrier generally assumes the same responsibility to us as we assume to our clients. When we act in the capacity of an authorized agent for an air or ocean carrier, the carrier, rather than us, assumes liability for the safe delivery of the client’s cargo to its ultimate destination, unless due to our own errors and omissions.
10
We have, from time to time, made payments to our clients for claims related to our services and may make such payments in the future. Should we experience an increase in the number or size of such claims or an increase in liability pursuant to claims or unfavorable resolutions of claims, our results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will provide us with adequate coverage for such claims or that the maximum amounts for which we are liable in connection with our services will not change in the future or exceed our insurance levels. As with every insurance policy, there are limits, exclusions and deductibles that apply and we could be subject to claims for which insurance coverage may be inadequate or even disputed and which claims could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs could reduce our profitability.
Our failure to comply with, or the costs of complying with, government regulation could negatively affect our results of operation.
Our freight forwarding business as an indirect air cargo carrier is subject to regulation by the United States Department of Transportation ("DOT") under the Federal Aviation Act, and by the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA"). Our overseas independent agents’ air freight forwarding operations are subject to regulation by the regulatory authorities of the respective foreign jurisdictions. The air freight forwarding industry is subject to regulatory and legislative changes which can affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the costs of providing, services to customers. We do not believe that costs of regulatory compliance have had a material adverse impact on our operations to date. However, our failure to comply with any applicable regulations could have an adverse effect. There can be no assurance that the adoption of future regulations would not have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our present levels of capital may limit the implementation of our business strategy.
The objective of our business strategy is to build a global logistics services organization. One element of this strategy is an acquisition program which contemplates the acquisition of a number of diverse companies within the logistics industry covering a variety of geographic regions and specialized service offerings. We have a limited amount of cash resources and our ability to make additional acquisitions without securing additional financing from outside sources is limited. This may limit or slow our ability to achieve the critical mass we need to achieve our strategic objectives.
Our credit facility contains financial covenants that may limit its current availability.
The terms of our credit facility are subject to certain financial covenants which may limit the amount otherwise available under that facility. Principal among these are financial covenants that limit funded debt to a multiple of our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). Under this covenant, our funded debt is limited to a multiple of 4.00 of our EBITDA measured on a rolling four quarter basis. Our ability to generate EBITDA will be critical to our ability to use the full amount of the credit facility.
Dependence on key personnel.
For the foreseeable future our success will depend largely on the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer, Bohn H. Crain, as well as certain of the other key executives of Radiant Global Logistics, because of their collective industry knowledge, marketing skills and relationships with major vendors and owners of our exclusive agent stations. We have secured employment arrangements with each of these individuals, which contain non-competition covenants which survive their actual term of employment. Nevertheless, should any of these individuals leave the Company it could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations.
11
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect any market on which our shares trade, the markets in which we operate, our operations and our profitability.
Terrorist acts or acts of war or armed conflict could negatively affect our operations in a number of ways. Primarily, any of these acts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy and could lead to increased regulatory requirements with respect to the security and safety of freight shipments and transportation. They could also result in a continuation of the current economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad. Acts of terrorism or armed conflict, and the uncertainty caused by such conflicts, could cause an overall reduction in worldwide sales of goods and corresponding shipments of goods. This would have a corresponding negative effect on our operations. Also, terrorist activities similar to the type experienced on September 11, 2001 could result in another halt of trading of securities, which could also have an adverse effect on the trading price of our shares and overall market capitalization.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR ACQUISITION STRATEGY
There is a scarcity of and competition for acquisition opportunities.
There are a limited number of operating companies available for acquisition which we deem to be desirable targets. In addition, there is a very high level of competition among companies seeking to acquire these operating companies. We are and will continue to be a very minor participant in the business of seeking acquisitions of these types of companies. A large number of established and well-financed entities are active in acquiring interests in companies which we may find to be desirable acquisition candidates. Many of these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us. Consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in negotiating and executing possible acquisitions of these businesses. Even if we are able to successfully compete with these entities, this competition may affect the terms of completed transactions and, as a result, we may pay more than we expected for potential acquisitions. We may not be able to identify operating companies that complement our strategy, and even if we identify a company that complements our strategy, we may be unable to complete an acquisition of such a company for many reasons, including:
|
|
·
|
failure to agree on the terms necessary for a transaction, such as the purchase price;
|
|
|
·
|
incompatibility between our operational strategies and management philosophies;
|
|
|
·
|
and those of the potential acquiree;
|
|
|
·
|
competition from other acquirers of operating companies;
|
|
|
·
|
lack of sufficient capital to acquire a profitable logistics company; and
|
|
|
·
|
unwillingness of a potential acquiree to work with our management.
|
Risks related to acquisition financing.
In order to continue to pursue our acquisition strategy in the longer term, we may be required to obtain additional financing. We intend to obtain such financing through a combination of traditional debt financing or the placement of debt and equity securities. We may finance some portion of our future acquisitions by either issuing equity or by using shares of our common stock for all or a portion of the purchase price for such businesses. In the event that our common stock does not attain or maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept common stock as part of the purchase price for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to utilize more of our cash resources, if available, in order to maintain our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, we will not be able to complete acquisitions and our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings.
12
Our credit facility places certain limits on the type and number of acquisitions we may make.
In March 2010, our $15.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $0.5 million sublimit to support letters of credit, was increased to $20.0 million, to provide additional funding for further acquisitions and our on-going working capital requirements. Under the terms of the credit facility, we are subject to a number of financial and operational covenants which may limit the number of additional acquisitions we make without the lender’s consent. In the event that we are not able to satisfy the conditions of the credit facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, we would have to forego the acquisition unless we either obtained the lender’s consent or retired the credit facility. This may prevent us from completing acquisitions which we determine are desirable from a business perspective and limit or slow our ability to achieve the critical mass we need to achieve our strategic objectives.
To the extent we make any material acquisitions, our earnings will be adversely affected by non-cash charges relating to the amortization of intangibles which may cause our stock price to decline.
Under applicable accounting standards, purchasers are required to allocate the total consideration paid in a business combination to the identified acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the time of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid to acquire a business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible assets acquired must be allocated among identifiable intangible assets including goodwill. The amount allocated to goodwill is not subject to amortization. However, it is tested at least annually for impairment. The amount allocated to identifiable intangibles, such as customer relationships and the like, is amortized over the life of these intangible assets. We expect that this will subject us to periodic charges against our earnings to the extent of the amortization incurred for that period. Because our business strategy focuses on growth through acquisitions, our future earnings will be subject to greater non-cash amortization charges than a company whose earnings are derived organically. As a result, we will experience an increase in non-cash charges related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Our financial statements will show that our intangible assets are diminishing in value, when, in fact, we believe they may be increasing because we are growing the value of our intangible assets (e.g. customer relationships). Because of this discrepancy, we believe our EBITDA, a measure of financial performance which does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), provides a meaningful measure of our financial performance. However, the investment community generally measures a public company’s performance by its net income. Further, the financial covenants of our credit facility adjust EBITDA to exclude costs related to share based compensation and other non-cash charges. Thus, we believe EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, provide a meaningful measure of our financial performance. If the investment community elects to place more emphasis on net income, the future price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
We are not obligated to follow any particular criteria or standards for identifying acquisition candidates.
Even though we have developed general acquisition guidelines, we are not obligated to follow any particular operating, financial, geographic or other criteria in evaluating candidates for potential acquisitions or business combinations. We will target companies which we believe will provide the best potential long-term financial return for our stockholders and we will determine the purchase price and other terms and conditions of acquisitions. Our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the relevant economic, financial and other information that our management team will use and consider in deciding whether or not to enter into a particular transaction.
We may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to successfully implement our acquisition strategy.
We may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to complete future acquisitions. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow from the operations of acquired companies to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on the indebtedness, then we will be required to use our capital for such payments. This will restrict our ability to make additional acquisitions. We may also be forced to sell an acquired company in order to satisfy indebtedness. We cannot be certain that we will be able to operate profitably once we incur this indebtedness or that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount of proceeds from the ultimate disposition of such acquired companies to repay the indebtedness incurred to make these acquisitions.
13
We may experience difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel and assets of companies that we acquire which may disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.
A core component of our business plan is to acquire businesses and assets in the transportation and logistics industry. We have only made a limited number of acquisitions and, therefore, our ability to complete such acquisitions and integrate any acquired businesses into our operations is unproven. Increased competition for acquisition candidates may develop, in which event there may be fewer acquisition opportunities available to us as well as higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. Such acquisitions also involve numerous operational risks, including:
|
|
·
|
difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel;
|
|
|
·
|
the diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;
|
|
|
·
|
the risk of entering new markets;
|
|
|
·
|
the potential loss of key employees; and
|
|
|
·
|
the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs.
|
As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate and execute any acquisitions or investments, our business and prospects may be seriously harmed.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make a contested takeover of our Company more difficult.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") could deter a change in our management or render more difficult an attempt to obtain control of us, even if such a proposal is favored by a majority of our stockholders. For example, we are subject to the provisions of the DGCL that prohibit a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares (an "interested stockholder") for three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of 75% of our outstanding shares and that amendments to our bylaws require the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of our outstanding shares. Our certificate of incorporation also includes undesignated preferred stock, which may enable our Board of Directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. Finally, our bylaws include an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or submit proposals at a stockholders meeting.
Trading in our common stock has been limited and there is no significant trading market for our common stock.
Our common stock is not listed on any stock exchange. Instead, our common stock was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and transitioned to the OTCQB in February of 2011. The OTCQB is one of three tiers established by OTC Markets Group, Inc. Trading on the OTCQB is often characterized by low trading volume and significant price fluctuations. Because of this limited liquidity, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares. The trading price of our shares may from time to time fluctuate widely. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including events described in the risk factors set forth in this report as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements, general conditions in the industry, and other events or factors. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
14
The influx of additional shares of our common stock onto the market may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.
We completed private placements of approximately 15.4 million shares of our common stock between October 2005 and February 2006. The availability of those shares for sale to the public under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and sale of such shares in public markets could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Such an adverse effect on the market price would make it more difficult for us to sell our equity securities in the future at prices which we deem appropriate or to use our shares as currency for future acquisitions which will make it more difficult to execute our acquisition strategy.
The issuance of additional shares in connection with the Adcom and other potential acquisitions may result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.
We have issued, and may be required to issue, additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in payment of the purchase price of companies we have acquired. This will have the effect of further increasing the number of shares outstanding. In connection with future acquisitions, we may undertake the issuance of more shares of common stock without notice to our then existing stockholders. We may also issue additional shares in order to, among other things, compensate employees or consultants or for other valid business reasons in the discretion of our Board of Directors, and could result in diluting the interests of our existing stockholders.
We may issue shares of preferred stock with greater rights than our common stock.
Although we have no current plans or agreements to issue any preferred stock, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms for those shares without the approval of our shareholders. Any such preferred stock we may issue in the future could rank ahead of our common stock, in terms of dividends, liquidation rights, and voting rights.
As we do not anticipate paying dividends, investors in our shares will not receive any dividend income.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any dividends that we may pay in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our future earnings, any applicable regulatory considerations, covenants of our debt facility, our financial requirements and other similarly unpredictable factors. Our ability to pay dividends is further limited by the terms of our credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will retain any earnings which we may generate from our operations to finance and develop our growth and that we will not pay cash dividends to our stockholders. Accordingly, investors seeking dividend income should not purchase our stock.
We are not subject to certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Since our common stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange, we are not subject to certain of the corporate governance requirements established by the national securities exchanges pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These include rules relating to independent directors, and independent director nomination, audit and compensation committees. Unless we voluntarily elect to comply with those obligations, investors in our shares will not have the protections offered by those corporate governance provisions. As of the date of this report, we have not elected to comply with any regulations that do not apply to us. While we may make an application to have our securities listed for trading on a national securities exchange, which would require us to comply with those obligations, we cannot assure that we will do so or that such application will be approved.
15
We are required to comply with Section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and our stock price could decline.
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404a of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting. Any failure to maintain adequate controls could result in delays or inaccuracies in reporting financial information or non-compliance with SEC reporting and other regulatory requirements, any of which could adversely affect our business and stock price.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our principal executive offices are located at 405 114th Avenue S.E., Bellevue, Washington 98004 and consist of 13,018 feet of office space which we lease for an average of $16,020 per month over the life of the lease expiring May 31, 2021. Subsequent to year-end, we began subleasing 3,110 feet of office space in the same building for an average of $4,067 per month over the life of the sublease expiring May 31, 2020. In addition, we lease 92,503 feet of space for our company-owned station in Somerset, NJ for an average of $43,816 per month over the life of the lease expiring November 30, 2014. For our company-owned station in Hawthorne, CA, we lease 140,200 of space in two neighboring buildings for an average of $85,879 per month over the life of lease expiring February 29, 2016. We also own a small parcel of undeveloped acreage located at Grays Harbor, Washington, which is not material to our business. We believe our current offices are adequately covered by insurance and are sufficient to support our operations for the foreseeable future.
From time to time, our operating subsidiaries are involved in legal matters or named as a defendant in legal actions arising in its ordinary course of business.

Holders
As of October 5, 2011, the number of stockholders of record of our common stock was 125. We believe there are additional beneficial owners of our common stock who hold their shares in street name.
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date, and we have no intention of paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Whether we declare and pay dividends will be determined by our board of directors at its discretion, subject to certain limitations imposed under Delaware law. The timing, amount and form of dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. Our ability to pay dividends is limited by the terms of our Bank of America, N.A. credit facility.
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 1981 Marcus Avenue, Lake Success, NY 11042, serves as our transfer agent.
Since June 30, 2010, we have issued the following unregistered securities:
|
|
·
|
In January 2011, we issued 732,038 shares of common stock to Robert Friedman, the former sole shareholder of Adcom Express, Inc. (“Adcom”). The shares issued to Mr. Friedman, valued at approximately $0.26 million, were issued in connection with an earn-out obligation derived from our acquisition of Adcom in September 2008.
|
|
|
·
|
In June 2011, we issued an aggregate of 90,250 shares of common stock to certain select independent agents affiliated with DBA. The shares were valued at approximately $0.18 million.
|
|
|
·
|
In June 2011, we issued an aggregate of 1,071,429 shares of our common stock to a group of 13 former shareholders of DBA. The shares, valued at approximately $2.4 million, were issued in connection with the conversion of approximately $2.4 million of a multi-year promissory note in the original principal amount of $4.8 million, issued in connection with the acquisition of DBA.
|
We did not utilize or engage a principal underwriter in connection with any of the above securities transactions. The above securities were only offered and sold to “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Management believes the above shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and result of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information included elsewhere in this report.
17
We are a Bellevue, Washington based non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding services & fulfillment services through a network which includes a combination of company-owned and exclusive agent offices across North America. Operating under the Airgroup, Adcom, DBA & Radiant brands, we service a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers and international agents positioned strategically around the world.
As a non-asset based provider of third-party logistics services, we seek to limit our investment in equipment, facilities and working capital through contracts and preferred provider arrangements with various transportation providers who generally provide us with favorable rates, minimum service levels, capacity assurances and priority handling status. Our non-asset based approach allows us to maintain a high level of operating flexibility and leverage a cost structure that is highly variable in nature while the volume of our flow of freight enables us to negotiate attractive pricing with our transportation providers.
We continue to identify a number of additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and have completed two material acquisitions since our initial acquisition of Airgroup in January of 2006. In November 2007, we acquired the Automotive Services Group in Detroit, Michigan to service the automotive industry. In September 2008, we acquired Adcom, adding an additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting our overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April of 2011, we acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air (“DBA”), adding an additional 25 locations across North America further expanding our fiscal network and service capabilities. We have built a global transportation and supply chain management company offering our customers domestic and international freight forwarding services and an expanding array of value added supply chain management services, including order fulfillment, inventory management, and warehousing.
Our growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and acquisitions. From an organic perspective, we will focus on strengthening existing and expanding new customer relationships. One of the drivers of our organic growth will be retaining existing, and securing new exclusive agency locations. Since our acquisition of Airgroup, we have focused our efforts on the build-out of our network of exclusive agency offices, as well as enhancing our back-office infrastructure and transportation and accounting systems. We will continue to search for targets that fit within our acquisition criteria.
Our acquisition strategy relies upon two primary factors: first, our ability to identify and acquire target businesses that fit within our general acquisition criteria; and second, the continued availability of capital and financing resources sufficient to complete these acquisitions. Our ability to secure additional financing will rely upon the sale of debt or equity securities, and the development of an active trading market for our securities.
Successful implementation of our growth strategy depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to: (i) continue developing new agency locations; (ii) locate acquisition opportunities; (iii) secure adequate funding to finance identified acquisition opportunities; (iv) efficiently integrate the businesses of the companies acquired; (v) generate the anticipated economies of scale from the integration; and (vi) maintain the historic sales growth of the acquired businesses in order to generate continued organic growth. There are a variety of risks associated with our ability to achieve its strategic objectives, including the ability to acquire and profitably manage additional businesses and the intense competition in the industry for customers and for acquisition candidates.
Performance Metrics
Our principal source of income is derived from freight forwarding services. As a freight forwarder, we arrange for the shipment of our customers’ freight from point of origin to point of destination. Generally, we quote our customers a turnkey cost for the movement of their freight. Our price quote will often depend upon the customer’s time-definite needs (first day through fifth day delivery), special handling needs (heavy equipment, delicate items, environmentally sensitive goods, electronic components, etc.), and the means of transport (truck, air, ocean or rail). In turn, we assume the responsibility for arranging and paying for the underlying means of transportation.

Our transportation revenue represents the total dollar value of services we sell to our customers. Our cost of transportation includes direct costs of transportation, including motor carrier, air, ocean and rail services. We act principally as the service provider to add value in the execution and procurement of these services to our customers. Our net transportation revenue (gross transportation revenue less the direct cost of transportation) is the primary indicator of our ability to source, add value and resell services provided by third parties, and is considered by management to be a key performance measure. In addition, management believes measuring its operating costs as a function of net transportation revenue provides a useful metric, as our ability to control costs as a function of net transportation revenue directly impacts operating earnings.
Our operating results will be affected as acquisitions occur. Since all acquisitions are made using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations, our financial statements will only include the results of operations and cash flows of acquired companies for periods subsequent to the date of acquisition.
Our GAAP-based net income will be affected by non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and other intangible assets arising from completed acquisitions. Under applicable accounting standards, purchasers are required to allocate the total consideration in a business combination to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values at the time of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is to be allocated to goodwill, which is tested at least annually for impairment. Applicable accounting standards require that we separately account for and value certain identifiable intangible assets based on the unique facts and circumstances of each acquisition. As a result of our acquisition strategy, our net income will include material non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and other intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Although these charges may increase as we complete more acquisitions, we believe we will actually be growing the value of our intangible assets (e.g., customer relationships). Thus, we believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, is a useful financial measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of these non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business.
Further, the financial covenants of our credit facility adjust EBITDA to exclude costs related to share based compensation expense, extraordinary items and other non-cash charges.
Our compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility is particularly important given the materiality of the credit facility to our day-to-day operations and overall acquisition strategy. Our debt capacity, subject to the requisite collateral at an advance rate of 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and up to 60% of eligible foreign receivables, is limited to a multiple of 4.00 times our consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) as measured on a rolling four quarter basis. If we fail to comply with the covenants in our credit facility and are unable to secure a waiver or other relief, our financial condition would be materiality weakened and our ability to fund day-to-day operations would be materially and adversely affected. Accordingly, we intend to employ EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as management tools to measure our historical financial performance and as a benchmark for future financial flexibility.
Our operating results are also subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis. The impact of seasonality on our business will depend on numerous factors, including the markets in which we operate, holiday seasons, consumer demand and economic conditions. Since our revenue is largely derived from customers whose shipments are dependent upon consumer demand and just-in-time production schedules, the timing of our revenue is often beyond our control. Factors such as shifting demand for retail goods and/or manufacturing production delays could unexpectedly affect the timing of our revenue. As we increase the scale of our operations, seasonal trends in one area of our business may be offset to an extent by opposite trends in another area. We cannot accurately predict the timing of these factors, nor can we accurately estimate the impact of any particular factor, and thus we can give no assurance any historical seasonal patterns will continue in future periods.

Accounting policies, methods and estimates are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements prepared by management and are based upon management’s current judgments. These judgments are normally based on knowledge and experience regarding to past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting policies, methods and estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ from management’s current judgments. While there are a number of accounting policies, methods and estimates that affect our financial statements, the areas that are particularly significant include the initial valuation of acquiried intangibles, assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets (including acquired intangibles), recoverability of goodwill, and revenue recognition.
We perform an annual impairment test for goodwill. The first step of the impairment test requires us to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit's carrying amount. We have only one reporting unit. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and we must perform a second more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. We typically perform our annual impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate, an impairment may have occurred before that time.
Acquired intangibles consist of customer related intangibles and non-compete agreements arising from our acquisitions. Customer related intangibles are amortized using accelerated methods over approximately five years and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreements.
We review long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, we estimate fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
As a non-asset based carrier we do not own transportation assets. We generate the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and reselling those services to our customers. Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where we issue a House Airway Bill ("HAWB") or a House Ocean Bill of Lading ("HOBL") are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin. Costs related to the shipments are also recognized at this same time based upon anticipated margins, contractual arrangements with direct carriers, and other known factors. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. The estimates are adjusted as deemed necessary by us to reflect differences between the original accruals and actual costs of purchased transportation.
This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under GAAP which do not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognize revenue as progress on the transit is made. Our method of revenue and cost recognition does not result in a material difference from amounts that would be reported under such other methods.

Basis of Presentation
The results of operations discussion which appears below has been presented utilizing a combination of historical and, where relevant, pro forma unaudited information to include the effects of the acquisition of DBA on our consolidated financial statements during fiscal year 2011. The pro forma information has been presented for fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 as if we had acquired DBA as of July 1, 2009. The pro forma results are also adjusted to reflect a consolidation of the historical results of operations of DBA and the Company as adjusted to reflect the amortization of acquired intangibles and are also provided in the Financial Statements included within this report.
The pro forma financial data is not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had this acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or which might be attained in the future.
We generated transportation revenue of $203.8 million and net transportation revenue of $62.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to transportation revenue of $146.7 million and net transportation revenue of $45.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. Net income was $2.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.
We had adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million and $4.2 million for years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of interest and taxes, and excludes the "non-cash" effects of depreciation and amortization on long-term assets. Companies have some discretion as to which elements of depreciation and amortization are excluded in the EBITDA calculation. We exclude all depreciation charges related to property, plant and equipment, all amortization charges relating to leasehold improvements and other intangible assets, and impairment charges relating to goodwill. We then further adjust EBITDA to exclude costs related to share based compensation expense, unusual items and other non-cash charges consistent with the financial covenants of our credit facility. Our ability to generate adjusted EBITDA ultimately limits the amount of debt that we may carry and is a good indicator of our financial flexibility and capacity to complete additional acquisitions in compliance with the credit agreement. A violation of this covenant in the credit agreement would greatly limit our financial flexibility, reduce available liquidity, and absent a waiver, could give rise to an event of default under the credit agreement. For the forgoing reasons, we believe that the credit agreement is material to our operations and that adjusted EBITDA is important to an evaluation of our financial condition and liquidity. While management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.
The following table provides a reconciliation for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010 of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure in accordance with SEC Regulation G (in thousands):

We generated transportation revenue of $203.8 million and net transportation revenue of $62.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to transportation revenue of $146.7 million and net transportation revenue of $45.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. Domestic and international transportation revenue was $113.9 million and $89.9 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared with $78.6 million and $68.1 million, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2010. Transportation revenues and costs of transportation increased in fiscal year 2011 primarily due to the acquisition of DBA in the fourth quarter.
Cost of transportation was 69.3% and 68.9% of transportation revenue for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Net transportation margins were 30.7% and 31.1% of transportation revenue for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The nominal margin regression was attributed to differing product mixes of shipments and services throughout the fiscal year with slightly lower margin characteristics.

Agent commissions were $42.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 35.0% from $31.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2010, as a result of increased revenues associated with newly-added agent-based locations, as well as the acquisition of DBA. As a percentage of net revenues, agent commissions decreased to 67.8% for the year ended June 30, 2011, from 68.8% for the year ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is attributed to additional company-owned locations where commissions are not payable, principally associated with the acquisition of DBA which includes two large company-owned locations.
Personnel costs consist of payroll, payroll taxes, benefits and stock compensation expense. Personnel costs were $7.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 31.5% from $5.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributed to the increased personnel costs associated with acquiring DBA. As a percentage of net revenues, personnel costs decreased to 12.4% for the year ended June 30, 2011, from 12.9% for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") costs consist primarily of marketing, rent, professional services, insurance and travel expenses. SG&A costs were $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of 24.2% from $4.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. The increase was primarily attributed to increased costs associated with the acquisition of DBA. As a percentage of net revenues, SG&A costs decreased to 8.6% for the year ended June 30, 2011, from 9.4% for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Transition costs associated with DBA acquisition were $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. There were no such costs during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of net transportation revenue, non-recurring transition costs were 0.9% for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Depreciation and amortization costs were $1.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of 17.1% from $1.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. The decrease related primarily to lower amortization expenses of intangibles associated with the RGL and Adcom acquisitions which were slightly offset by amortization costs associated with the intangibles of DBA. As a percentage of net revenues, depreciation and amortization decreased to 2.1% for the year ended June 30, 2011 from 3.5% for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Income from operations was $5.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to income from operations of $2.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Other expense was $0.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, as compared to other income of $0.7 million during year ended June 30, 2010. The change was primarily due to gains associated with a litigation settlement, extinguishments of debt and foreign currency exchange during 2010 which were not replicated in 2011. As a percentage of net revenues, other expense was 0.2% for the year ended June 30, 2011 and other income was 1.5% for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Net income for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $2.9 million as compared to net income of $2.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Transition costs associated with DBA acquisition were $0.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2011. There were no such costs during the comparable prior period. As a percentage of net transportation revenue, non-recurring transition costs were 0.7% for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Depreciation and amortization costs were $1.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of 35.6% from $2.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. Depreciation and amortization as a percentage of net transportation revenue decreased to 1.7% for the year ended June 30, 2011, from 3.1% for the comparable prior year period.
Income from operations was $5.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to income from operations of $2.2 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Other expense was $0.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to other income of $0.7 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Net income was $3.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $1.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $2.9 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2010 of $2.8 million. The change was principally driven by timing differences between the collection of receivables driven by overall growth and an increase in the our net income, offset by cash flows associated with an increase to the provision for doubtful accounts related to the acquired DBA receivables which historically have taken longer to collect, and the difference between the non-cash loss on litigation in fiscal 2011 as compared to the non-cash gain on litigation settlement in fiscal 2010.
Net cash used for investing was $5.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2011, compared to net cash used for investing activities of $1.9 million for the year ended June 30, 2010. Use of cash in 2011 consisted of $5.4 million for the acquisition of DBA (less cash acquired of $2.0 million), an additional $0.4 million for furniture and equipment, and $1.6 million paid to the former shareholders of subsidiaries. Use of cash in 2010 consisted of $1.4 million paid to former shareholders of subsidiaries and $0.5 million for furniture and equipment purchases.
25
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended June 30, 2011 was $2.2 million compared to net cash used for financing activities of $1.1 million for year ended June 30, 2010. Cash from financing activities in 2011 consisted of proceeds from our credit facility of $2.6 million and proceeds from sales of Company stock to DBA stations of $0.2 million, which amounts were offset by $0.5 million used to purchase shares of our common stock and $0.1 million in non-controlling interest distributions. Use of cash for 2010 consisted of $0.8 million used to purchase shares of our common stock, $0.2 million in payments to reduce our credit facility, and $0.1 million in non-controlling interest distributions.
Recent Acquisitions
Below are descriptions of recent material acquisitions including a breakdown of consideration paid at closing and future potential earn-out payments. We define "material acquisitions" as those with aggregate potential consideration of $1.0 million or more.
Effective September 1, 2008, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Adcom Express, Inc. The transaction was valued at up to $11.05 million, consisting of: (i) $4.75 million in cash paid at the closing; (ii) $0.25 million in cash payable shortly after the closing, subject to adjustment, based upon the working capital of Adcom as of August 31, 2008; (iii) up to $2.8 million in four "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" of up to $0.7 million each, covering the four year earn-out period through 2012, based upon Adcom achieving certain levels of "Gross Profit Contribution" (as defined in the agreement), payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of our common stock (valued at delivery date); (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" of up to a maximum of $2.0 million, equal to 20% of the amount by which the Adcom cumulative Gross Profit Contribution exceeds $16.56 million during the four year earn-out period; and (v) an "Integration Payment" of $1.25 million payable on the earlier of the date certain integration targets are achieved or 18 months after the closing, payable 50% in cash and 50% in our shares of our common stock (valued at delivery date).
Through June 30, 2011, the former Adcom shareholders earned a total of $1,454,141 in base earn-out payments. Of this amount, $578,536 was paid in cash and $258,510 was settled in stock through the year ended June 30, 2011. The remaining amount of $617,095 is included in the amount Due to former shareholders of subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011.
Assuming minimum targeted earnings levels are achieved, the following table summarizes our contingent base earn-out payments related to the acquisition of Adcom, for the fiscal years indicated based on results of the prior year (in thousands):

On April 6, 2011, we closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") pursuant to which we acquired all of the outstanding stock of DBA Distribution Services, Inc. ("DBA"), a privately-held New Jersey corporation. For financial accounting purposes, the transaction was deemed to be effective as of April 1, 2011. DBA operates under the trade name "Distribution by Air" and provides a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services across North America. The shares of DBA were acquired by us via a merger transaction pursuant to which DBA was merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The $12.0 million transaction consisted of cash of $5.4 million paid at closing, the delivery of $4.8 million in seller notes payable over the next three years, and $1.8 million in connection with the achievement of certain integration milestones to be paid within 180 days after the milestones have been achieved; however, no later than the 18th month anniversary of the closing. In May 2011, we elected to satisfy $2.4 million of the seller notes through the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock. The seller notes may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a “Corporate Transaction” (as defined in the Form of Note), which includes a future sale of DBA or Radiant, or certain changes in corporate control. The cash component of the transaction was financed through a combination of our existing funds and funds available under an existing revolving credit facility provided by Bank of America, N.A.
26
Founded in 1981, DBA services a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers through a combination of company-owned logistics centers located in Somerset, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California and twenty-three agency offices across North America.
Credit Facility
In April 2011, in connection with the acquisition of DBA, the Company’s $20.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $0.5 million sublimit to support letters of credit (collectively, the "Facility"), was extended to a maturity date of March 31, 2013. The Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Advances under the Facility are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes Borrowings under the facility accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at the bank’s prime rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75% to 3.00%, and can be adjusted up or down during the term of the Facility based on the Company’s performance relative to certain financial covenants. The Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and provides for advances of up to 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and for advances of up to 60% of eligible foreign accounts receivable.
The terms of the Facility are subject to certain financial and operational covenants which may limit the amount otherwise available under the Facility. The first covenant limits funded debt to a multiple of 4.00 times our consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) measured on a rolling four quarter basis. The second financial covenant requires that we maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0. The third financial covenant is a minimum profitability standard that requires us not to incur a net loss before taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles and extraordinary items in any two consecutive quarterly accounting periods.
Under the terms of the Facility, we are permitted to make additional acquisitions without the lender's consent only if certain conditions are satisfied. The conditions imposed by the Facility include the following: (i) the absence of an event of default under the Facility; (ii) the company to be acquired must be in the transportation and logistics industry; (iii) the purchase price to be paid must be consistent with the Company’s historical business and acquisition model; (iv) after giving effect for the funding of the acquisition, the Company must have undrawn availability of at least $1.0 million under the Facility; (v) the lender must be reasonably satisfied with projected financial statements the Company provides covering a 12 month period following the acquisition; (vi) the acquisition documents must be provided to the lender and must be consistent with the description of the transaction provided to the lender; and (vii) the number of permitted acquisitions is limited to three per calendar year and shall not exceed $10.0 million in aggregate purchase price financed by funded debt. In the event we are not able to satisfy the conditions of the Facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, we must either forego the acquisition, obtain the lender's consent, or retire the Facility. This may limit or slow our ability to achieve the critical mass it may need to achieve its strategic objectives.
The co-borrowers of the Facility include Radiant Logistics, Inc., RGL (f/k/a Airgroup Corporation), Adcom Express, Inc. (d/b/a Adcom Worldwide), DBA (d/b/a Distribution by Air), Radiant Transportation Services ("RTS", f/k/a Radiant Logistics Global Services, Inc.), and RLP. RLP is owned 40% by RGL and 60% by RCP, an affiliate of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. RLP has been certified as a minority business enterprise, and focuses on corporate and government accounts with diversity initiatives. As a co-borrower under the Facility, the accounts receivable of RLP are eligible for inclusion within the overall borrowing base of the Company and all borrowers will be responsible for repayment of the debt associated with advances under the Facility, including those advanced to RLP. At June 30, 2011, we were in compliance with all of its covenants.
27
Given our continued focus on the build-out of our network of exclusive agency locations, we believe that our current working capital and anticipated cash flow from operations are adequate to fund existing operations. However, continued growth through strategic acquisitions, will require additional sources of financing as our existing working capital is not sufficient to finance our operations and an acquisition program. Thus, our ability to finance future acquisitions will be limited by the availability of additional capital. We may, however, finance acquisitions using our common stock as all or some portion of the consideration. In the event that our common stock does not attain or maintain a sufficient market value or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept our securities as part of the purchase price for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to utilize more of our cash resources, if available, in order to continue our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources through either operations or from debt facilities, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain such additional capital.
As of August 31, 2011, we have approximately $14.5 million in remaining availability under the Facility to support future acquisitions and our on-going working capital requirements. We expect to structure acquisitions with certain amounts paid at closing, and the balance paid over a number of years in the form of earn-out installments which are payable based upon the future earnings of the acquired businesses payable in cash, stock or some combination thereof. As we continue to execute our acquisition strategy, we will be required to make significant payments in the future if the earn-out installments under our various acquisitions become due. While we believe that a portion of any required cash payments will be generated by the acquired businesses, we may have to secure additional sources of capital to fund the remainder of any cash-based earn-out payments as they become due. This presents us with certain business risks relative to the availability of capacity under our Facility, the availability and pricing of future fund raising, as well as the potential dilution to our stockholders to the extent the earn-outs are satisfied directly, or indirectly, from the sale of equity.
Financial Outlook
For our fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, we are forecasting $9.3 million of adjusted EBITDA on total revenue of $285.0 million and expect net earnings of $3.4 million, compared to $6.8 million of adjusted EBITDA on total revenue of $203.8 million and net earnings of $2.9 million for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Our guidance for fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, includes approximately $0.1 million in severance costs associated with the DBA transaction. The projected adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 is burdened by an estimated $0.7 in non-recurring transition costs associated with our acquisition of DBA which are anticipated through December 31, 2011. Excluding these costs, adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 is projected to be $10.0 million.
For our fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, we are forecasting $9.0 million of adjusted EBITDA on total revenue of $285.0 million and expect net earnings of $3.4 million, compared to $6.8 million of adjusted EBITDA on total revenue of $203.8 million and net earnings of $2.9 million for our fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. Our guidance for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, includes approximately $0.5 million in non-recurring transition costs in connection with the wind-down of DBA's back office operations. This guidance does not include the benefit of any further acquisitions we may complete over the course of fiscal 2012.
Our estimate of future revenues and profits is based on the assumption that the cumulative historical financial results of operations of the Company for the most recent 12 months ended June 30, 2011 are indicative of the future financial performance and excludes the impact of further acquisitions, new agent stations or further improvement in the economic climate. A reconciliation of estimated annual adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 amounts to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows:

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2011, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 provides amendments to literature on fair value measurements and disclosures currently within the ASC by clarifying certain existing disclosures and requiring new disclosures for the various classes of fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The guidance in ASU 2010-29 provides amendments to clarify the acquisition date which should be used for reporting the pro forma financial information disclosures in Topic 805 when comparative financial statements are presented. The amendments also improve the usefulness of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosures by requiring a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination(s). The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The guidance in ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including clarification of the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value and disclosure requirements and changing a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
29
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 applies to both annual and interim financial statements and eliminates the option for reporting entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This ASU also requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. Finally, this ASU requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal year, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Audit Committee
Our board of directors has not created a separately-designated standing audit committee or a committee performing similar functions. Accordingly, our full board of directors acts as our audit committee.
Although Bohn H. Crain, our CEO, has the requisite background and professional experience to qualify as an audit committee financial expert, he has not been designated as such by our Board of Directors since he does not satisfy the "independence" standards adopted by the American Stock Exchange.
We currently have a small number of employees and centralized operations. In light of the foregoing, our board of directors concluded that the benefits of retaining an individual who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert," as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, would be outweighed by the costs of retaining such a person. As a result, no member of our board of directors is an "audit committee financial expert."
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all employees including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

Section 16 Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires our officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Such officers, directors and ten percent (10%) stockholders are also required by applicable SEC rules to furnish copies of all forms filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act. Based solely on our review of copies of forms filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal 2011, all reporting persons timely complied with all filing requirements applicable to them, except that Messrs.

Narrative Disclosure of Executive Compensation
Employment Agreement
On January 13, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Bohn H. Crain to serve as our Chief Executive Officer. On June 11, 2011, we and Bohn Crain, entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Letter Agreement") for the purpose of amending the Employment Agreement to (1) extend Mr. Crain’s Employment Agreement through December 31, 2016, (2) increase the renewal periods of the Employment Agreement from one to three years, and (3) increased Mr. Crain’s base salary.
The Employment Agreement (as amended) provides for an annual base salary of $325,000, a performance bonus of up to 50% of the base salary based upon the achievement of certain target objectives, and discretionary merit bonus that can be awarded at the discretion of our board of directors. We may terminate the Employment Agreement at any time for cause. If we terminate the Employment Agreement due to Mr. Crain’s disability, Mr. Crain’s unvested options shall immediately vest and we must continue to pay Mr. Crain for an additional one year period his base salary and bonuses as well as fringe benefits, including participation in pension, profit sharing and bonus plans as applicable, and life insurance, hospitalization, major medical, paid vacation and expense reimbursement. If Mr. Crain terminates the Employment Agreement for good reason or we terminate for any reason other than for cause, Mr. Crain’s unvested options shall immediately vest and we must continue to pay Mr. Crain for the remaining term of the Employment Agreement his base salary and bonuses as well as fringe benefits. The Employment Agreement contains standard and customary non-solicitation, non-competition, work made for hire, and confidentiality provisions.

The options vest in equal annual installments over a five year period commencing on the date of grant and terminate ten years from the date of grant.
Change in Control Arrangements
The options granted to Mr. Crain contain a change in control provision which is triggered in the event that we are acquired by merger, share exchange or otherwise, sell all or substantially all of our assets, or all of the stock of the Company is acquired by a third party (each, a "Fundamental Transaction"). In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, all of the options will vest and Mr. Crain shall have the full term of such options in which to exercise any or all of them, notwithstanding any accelerated exercise period contained in any such option.
The Employment Agreement with Mr. Crain also contains a change in control provision. If his employment is terminated following a change in control (other than for cause), then we must pay him a termination payment equal to 2.99 times his base salary in effect on the date of termination of his employment, any bonus to which he would have been entitled for a period of three years following the date of termination, any unpaid expenses and benefits, and for a period of three years provide him with all fringe benefits he was receiving on the date of termination of his employment or the economic equivalent. In addition, all of his unvested stock options shall immediately vest as of the termination date of his employment due to a change in control. A change in control is generally defined as the occurrence of any one of the following:
|
|
·
|
any "Person" (as the term "Person" is used in Section 13(d) and Section 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), except for our chief executive officer, becoming the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of our securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities;
|
|
|
·
|
a contested proxy solicitation of our stockholders that results in the contesting party obtaining the ability to vote securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of our then-outstanding securities;
|
|
|
·
|
a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of 50% or more in value of our assets to another Person or entity, except to an entity controlled directly or indirectly by us;
|
37
|
|
·
|
a merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving us in which we are not the surviving entity and in which our stockholders prior to the transaction continue to own less than 50% of the outstanding securities of the acquirer immediately following the transaction, or a plan involving our liquidation or dissolution other than pursuant to bankruptcy or insolvency laws is adopted; or
|
|
|
·
|
during any period of twelve consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the board cease for any reason to constitute at least the majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by our stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a "change in control" is not deemed to have occurred (i) in the event of a sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of substantially all of our assets to, or a merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving, us and any entity in which our chief executive officer has, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% equity or ownership interest; or (ii) in a transaction otherwise commonly referred to as a "management leveraged buy-out."
Directors’ Compensation
In January 2009, we began compensating Mr. Harrington $3,000 per month for his services. Mr. Crain does not receive any additional compensation for serving our board of directors. Other than our arrangement with Mr. Harrington, we do not have any standard arrangements regarding payment of any cash or other compensation to our current directors for their services as directors, other than to reimburse them for their cost of travel and other out-of-pocket costs incurred to attend board meetings or to perform any special assignment on behalf of the Company.
Stock Incentive Plan
On October 20, 2005, we adopted the Radiant Logistics, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 5,000,000 shares of our common stock in the form of stock options or restricted stock awards. Awards may be made to our employees, officers or directors as well as our consultants or advisors. The Plan is administered by our Board of Directors which has full and final authority to interpret the Plan, select the persons to whom awards may be granted, and determine the amount, vesting and all other terms of any awards. To the extent permitted by applicable law, our Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board. The Plan is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and is not a "qualified plan" under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC) of 1986, as amended. The Plan has not been approved by our shareholders. As a result, "incentive stock options" as defined under Section 422 of the IRC may not be granted under the Plan until our shareholders approve the Plan.
All stock options granted under the Plan are exercisable for a period of up to ten years from the date of grant, are subject to vesting as determined by the Board upon grant, and have an exercise price equal to not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, awards may not be transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Board has discretion to determine the effect on any award granted under the Plan of the death, disability, retirement, resignation, termination or other change in employment or other status of any participant in the Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock for which awards may be granted to a participant under the Plan in any calendar year is 2,500,000.
The Plan states that a "Change of Control" occurs when (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) acquires "beneficial ownership" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company except where the acquisition is approved by the Board; or (ii) if the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger or other reorganization in which the holders of the outstanding voting stock of the Company immediately preceding the consummation of such event, shall, immediately following such event, hold, as a group, less than a majority of the voting securities of the surviving or successor entity or in the event of a sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or otherwise.
38
Unless otherwise provided in option or employment agreements, if the Plan is terminated as a result of or following a "Change of Control", all vested awards may be exercised for 30 days from the date of notice of the termination. All participants will be credited with an additional six months of service for the purpose of unvested awards. If the Plan is assumed or not terminated upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control", all participants will be credited with an additional six months of service if, during the remaining term of such participant’s awards, any participant is terminated without cause.

A description of the material terms of The Radiant Logistics, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan is set forth in Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION - Stock Incentive Plan.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
Our board is responsible for reviewing and approving all related party transactions. Before approving such a transaction, the board takes into account all relevant factors that it deems appropriate, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to us than terms generally available from an unaffiliated third party. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, principal stockholder or any of such persons' immediate family members or affiliates must first be presented to our board for review, consideration and approval. All of our directors, executive officers and employees are required to report to our board any such related party transaction. In approving or rejecting the proposed agreement, our board considers the facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the board, including, but not limited to the risks, costs and benefits to us, the terms of the transaction, the availability of other sources for comparable services or products and, if applicable, the impact on a director's independence. Our board approves only those agreements that, in light of known circumstances, are in, or are not inconsistent with, our best interests, as our board determines in its good faith discretion. Although the policies and procedures described above are not written, the board applies the foregoing criteria in evaluating and approving all such transactions. Each of the transactions described below were approved by our board of directors in accordance with the foregoing.
Minority Business Enterprise jointly-owned and operated with CEO
On June 28, 2006, we joined Radiant Capital Partners, LLC ("RCP"), an affiliate of Mr. Crain, our Chief Executive Officer, to form Radiant Logistics Partners, LLC ("RLP"). RLP commenced operations in 2007 as a minority business enterprise for the purpose of enabling us to expand the scope of our service offerings to include participation in certain supplier diversity programs which would have otherwise not been available to us. RLP is owned 60% by Mr. Crain and 40% by the Company.
40
In the course of evaluating and approving the ownership structure, operations and economics emanating from RLP, a committee consisting of the independent Board member of the Company, considered, among other factors, the significant benefits provided to the Company through association with a minority business enterprises, particularly as many of the Company’s largest current and potential customers have a need for diversity offerings. In addition, the Committee concluded the economic relationship with RLP was on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available from unaffiliated third parties.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, RLP recorded $331,808 in revenues including $296,699 in commission revenues earned from members of the affiliated group, and paid management service fees totaling $4,070 to members of the affiliated group and reported a profit of $265,350. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, RLP recorded $246,533 in revenues including $160,071 in commission revenues earned from members of the affiliated group, and paid management service fees totaling $5,671 to members of the affiliated group and reported a profit of $197,734. The profits and losses of RLP are split 40% to the Company and 60% to RCP.
Director Independence
Mr. Harrington satisfies the definition of "independent" established by the NYSE-AMEX as set forth in Section 803 of the NYSE-AMEX Company Guide. Mr. Crain does not satisfy the definition of "independent" established by the NYSE-AMEX as set forth in Section 803 of the NYSE-AMEX Company Guide. As of the date of the report, we do not maintain a separately designated audit, compensation or nominating committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
Radiant Logistics, Inc.
Bellevue, Washington
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Radiant Logistics, Inc. ("the Company") as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income (operations), stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Radiant Logistics, Inc. as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Supplemental disclosure of non-cash investing and financing activities:
In September 2009, the Company finalized its purchase price allocation relating to the acquisition of Adcom, resulting in an increase of net assets acquired by $151,550 due to increased transaction costs and other adjustments to the fair value of the acquired assets. The effect of this transaction was an increase to goodwill of $157,291 with offsetting changes to other balance sheet amounts as follows: a decrease to the allowance for doubtful accounts of $72,280, an increase in other receivables of $11,831, an increase in accounts payable of $4,275, an increase of other accrued costs of $279,488, and a decrease in the amount due to former shareholders of subsidiaries of $42,361.
In June 2010, $488,497 was recorded as due to former shareholders of subsidiaries and an increase to goodwill for the second annual earn-out from the Company’s acquisition of Adcom based on the gross profit contribution for year ended June 30, 2010.
In September 2010, the Company revised its estimate of the "Tier-One Earn-Out Payment" (see Note 4) relating to the acquisition of Adcom for the year ended June 30, 2010, resulting in an increase to goodwill and the amount due to the former shareholders of subsidiaries of $28,522.
In December 2010, the Company issued 732,038 shares of common stock at a fair value of $0.35 per share in satisfaction of the $258,510 Adcom earn-out payment for the year ended June 30, 2010, resulting in a decrease to the amount due to former shareholders of subsidiaries, an increase in common stock issuable of $732 and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $257,778.
In May 2011, the Company exercised its right to convert $2.4 million worth of notes payable into 1,071,429 shares of Company stock, resulting in a decrease to other current and long term liabilities totaling $2.4 million, an increase in common stock of $1,071 and an increase in additional paid-in capital of $2,398,929.
In June 2011, $617,095 was recorded as due to former shareholders of subsidiaries and an increase to goodwill for the third annual earn-out from the Company’s acquisition of Adcom based on the gross profit contribution for year ended June 30, 2011.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 -

THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
The Company
Radiant Logistics, Inc. (the "Company") is a non-asset based transportation and logistics services company providing customers domestic and international freight forwarding services and an expanding array of value added supply chain management services, including order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing. The Company is executing a strategy to expand its operations through a combination of organic growth and the strategic acquisition of best-of-breed, non-asset based transportation and logistics providers.
The Company completed the first step in its business strategy through the acquisition of Airgroup Corporation ("Airgroup") effective as of January 1, 2006. Airgroup is a Bellevue, Washington based non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding services through a network which includes a combination of company-owned and exclusive agent offices across North America.
The Company continues to identify a number of additional companies as suitable acquisition candidates and has completed two material acquisitions since its acquisition of Airgroup. In November 2007, the Company acquired the Automotive Services Group in Detroit, Michigan to service the automotive industry. In September 2008, the Company acquired Adcom Express, Inc. d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), adding an additional 30 locations across North America and augmenting the Company’s overall domestic and international freight forwarding capabilities. In April 2011, the Company acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air ("DBA"), adding an additional 25 locations across North America further expanding its fiscal network and service capabilities.
In connection with the acquisition of Adcom, the Company changed the name of Airgroup Corporation to Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. ("RGL") in order to better position its centralized back-office operations to service a multi-brand network. RGL, through the Airgroup, Adcom and DBA network brands, has a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers and international agents positioned strategically around the world.
The Company’s growth strategy will continue to focus on both organic growth and acquisitions. From an organic perspective, the Company will focus on strengthening existing and expanding new customer relationships. One of the drivers of the Company’s organic growth will be retaining existing, and securing new exclusive agency locations. Since the Company’s acquisition of Airgroup in January 2006, the Company has focused its efforts on the build-out of its network of exclusive agency offices, as well as enhancing its back-office infrastructure, transportation and accounting systems. The Company will continue to search for targets that fit within its acquisition criteria.
As the Company continues to build out its network of exclusive agent locations to achieve a level of critical mass and scale, it is executing an acquisition strategy to develop additional growth opportunities. The Company’s acquisition strategy relies upon two primary factors: first, the Company’s ability to identify and acquire target businesses that fit within its general acquisition criteria; and second, the continued availability of capital and financing resources sufficient to complete these acquisitions.
Successful implementation of the Company’s growth strategy depends upon a number of factors, including its ability to: (i) continue developing new agency locations; (ii) locate acquisition opportunities; (iii) secure adequate funding to finance identified acquisition opportunities; (iv) efficiently integrate the businesses of the companies acquired; (v) generate the anticipated economies of scale from the integration; and (vi) maintain the historic sales growth of the acquired businesses in order to generate continued organic growth. There are a variety of risks associated with the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives, including the ability to acquire and profitably manage additional businesses and the intense competition in the industry for customers and for acquisition candidates.
The Company will continue to search for targets that fit within its acquisition criteria. The Company's ability to secure additional financing will rely upon the sale of debt or equity securities, and the development of an active trading market for its securities. Although the Company can make no assurance as to its long term access to debt or equity securities or its ability to develop an active trading market, in March of 2010, the Company was successful in increasing its credit facility from $15.0 million to $20.0 million.

Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as a single variable interest entity, Radiant Logistics Partners LLC ("RLP"), which is 40% owned by Radiant Global Logistics (f/k/a Airgroup Corporation), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and whose accounts are included in the consolidated financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 -
|
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
a)
|
Use of Estimates
|
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include revenue recognition, accruals for the cost of purchased transportation, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, accounting for the issuance of shares and share based compensation, the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
b)
|
Fair Value Measurements
|
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
|
c)
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
The fair values of the Company’s receivables, accounts payable and accrued transportation costs, commissions payable, other accrued costs, income taxes payable and amounts due to former shareholders of subsidiaries approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt (including the credit facility, notes payable and other long-term liabilities), if recalculated based on current interest rates, would not differ significantly from the recorded amount.
|
d)
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less which are not securing any corporate obligations.
|
e)
|
Concentrations
|
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
|
f)
|
Accounts Receivable
|
The Company’s receivables are recorded when billed and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Company’s receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable on a customer-by-customer basis. The Company records a reserve for bad debts against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to an amount the Company believes will be reasonably collected. The reserve is a discretionary amount determined from the analysis of the aging of the accounts receivables, historical experience and knowledge of specific customers.
On occasion the Company extends credit to agent-based stations.
F-9
|
g)
|
Furniture and Equipment
|
Technology (computer software, hardware, and communications), furniture, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation is computed using five to seven year lives for vehicles, communication, office, furniture, and computer equipment and the double declining balance method. Computer software is depreciated over a three year life using the straight line method of depreciation. For leasehold improvements, the cost is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life on a straight line basis. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in other income or expense. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of minor items are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized.
|
h)
|
Goodwill
|
The Company performs an annual impairment test for goodwill. The first step of the impairment test requires the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit's carrying amount. The Company has only one reporting unit. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. The Company typically performs its annual impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate, an impairment may have occurred before that time. As of June 30, 2011, management believes there are no indications of impairment.
The table below reflects changes in goodwill for the years ending June 30:

|
Long-Lived Assets
|
Acquired intangibles consist of customer related intangibles and non-compete agreements arising from the Company’s acquisitions. Customer related intangibles are amortized using accelerated methods over approximately 5 years and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreements. See Notes 4 and 5.
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Management has performed a review of all long-lived assets and has determined no impairment of the respective carrying value has occurred as of June 30, 2011.

|
Commitments
|
The Company has operating lease commitments for equipment rentals, office space, and warehouse space under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through April 2021. Minimum future lease payments under these non-cancelable operating leases for the next five fiscal years ending June 30 and thereafter are as follows:

k)
|
401(k) Savings Plan
|
The Company has employee savings plans under which the Company provides a discretionary matching contribution. During the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s contributions under the plans were $110,309 and $100,284, respectively.
|
l)
|
Income Taxes
|
Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. Estimated interest and penalties are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively.
|
m)
|
Revenue Recognition and Purchased Transportation Costs
|
The Company is the primary obligor responsible for providing the service desired by the customer and is responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the service(s) ordered or purchased by the customer. At the Company’s sole discretion, it sets the prices charged to its customers, and is not required to obtain approval or consent from any other party in establishing its prices. The Company has multiple suppliers for the services it sells to its customers, and has the absolute and complete discretion and right to select the supplier that will provide the product(s) or service(s) ordered by a customer, including changing the supplier on a shipment-by-shipment basis. In most cases, the Company determines the nature, type, characteristics, and specifications of the service(s) ordered by the customer. The Company also assumes credit risk for the amount billed to the customer.
As a non-asset based carrier, the Company does not own transportation assets. The Company generates the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and reselling those services to its customers. Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where the Company issues a House Airway Bill ("HAWB") or a House Ocean Bill of Lading ("HOBL") are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin. Costs related to the shipments are also recognized at this same time based upon anticipated margins, contractual arrangements with direct carriers, and other known factors. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. The estimates are adjusted as deemed necessary by the Company to reflect differences between the original accruals and actual costs of purchased transportation.
This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under GAAP which do not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognize revenue as progress on the transit is made. The Company’s method of revenue and cost recognition does not result in a material difference from amounts that would be reported under such other methods.
F-11
|
n)
|
Share Based Compensation
|
The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions such that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards which will be forfeited, stock volatility, the expected life of the award, and other inputs. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates, share-based compensation expense and the Company's results of operations could be materially impacted.
|
o)
|
Basic and Diluted Income Per Share
|
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares, such as stock options, had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2011, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 32,021,404 shares of common stock, including options to purchase 3,865,242 shares of common stock at June 30, 2011, of which 106,900 were excluded as their effect would have been antidilutive. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 32,720,019 shares of common stock, including options to purchase 3,620,000 shares of common stock at June 30, 2010, of which 3,060,000 were excluded as their effect would have been antidilutive. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted per share computations for earnings per share as follows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. The guidance in ASU 2010-06 provides amendments to literature on fair value measurements and disclosures currently within the ASC by clarifying certain existing disclosures and requiring new disclosures for the various classes of fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
F-12
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The guidance in ASU 2010-29 provides amendments to clarify the acquisition date which should be used for reporting the pro forma financial information disclosures in Topic 805 when comparative financial statements are presented. The amendments also improve the usefulness of the pro forma revenue and earnings disclosures by requiring a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination(s). The amendments in this update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The guidance in ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including clarification of the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value and disclosure requirements and changing a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 applies to both annual and interim financial statements and eliminates the option for reporting entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. This ASU also requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income. Finally, this ASU requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal year, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The guidance in ASU 2011-08 is intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

ACQUISITION OF ADCOM EXPRESS, INC.
|
On September 5, 2008, the Company entered into and closed a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") pursuant to which it acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Adcom Express, Inc., d/b/a Adcom Worldwide ("Adcom"), a privately-held Minnesota corporation. For financial accounting purposes, the transaction was deemed to be effective as of September 1, 2008. The stock was acquired from Robert F. Friedman, the sole shareholder of Adcom. The total value of the transaction was $11,050,000, consisting of: (i) $4,750,000 in cash paid at the closing; (ii) $250,000 in cash payable shortly after the closing, subject to adjustment, based upon the working capital of Adcom as of August 31, 2008; (iii) up to $2,800,000 in four "Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments" of up to $700,000 each, covering the four year earn-out period through June 30, 2012, based upon Adcom achieving certain levels of "Gross Profit Contribution" (as defined in the SPA), payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Company common stock (valued at delivery date); (iv) a "Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment" of up to $2,000,000, equal to 20% of the amount by which the Adcom cumulative Gross Profit Contribution exceeds $16,560,000 during the four year earn-out period; and (v) an "Integration Payment" of $1,250,000 payable on the earlier of the date certain integration targets are achieved or 18 months after the closing, payable 50% in cash and 50% in shares of Company common stock (valued at delivery date). The Integration Payment, the Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments and certain amounts of the Tier-2 Payments may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a "Corporate Transaction" (as defined in the SPA), which includes a sale of Adcom or the Company, or certain changes in corporate control. The cash component of the transaction was financed through a combination of existing funds and the proceeds from the Company’s revolving credit facility.

Founded in 1978, Adcom provides a full range of domestic and international freight forwarding solutions to a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers through a combination of three company-owned and twenty-seven independent agency locations across North America.
The total purchase price consisted of an initial payment of $4,750,000 and acquisition expenses of $288,346. Also included in the acquisition is $1,250,000 in future integration payments and $319,845 in working capital and other adjustments. The total net assets acquired were $6.61 million, and there were also $220,000 in restructuring charges associated with the acquisition. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities at September 5, 2008.

None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
The former shareholder of Adcom filed an arbitration claim against the Company regarding, among other things, the final purchase price based upon the closing date working capital, as adjusted, of Adcom. On January 22, 2010, the arbitrator issued his ruling which reduced Mr. Friedman’s closing date working capital calculation by $1,443,914. After giving effect for other ancillary issues addressed in the arbitration results and the reserves otherwise maintained in connection with the Friedman liability, the Company reported a gain of $354,670 in connection with arbitration ruling.
Through June 30, 2011, the former Adcom shareholders earned a total of $1,454,141 in base earn-out payments. Of this amount, $578,536 was paid in cash and $258,510 was settled in stock through the year ended June 30, 2011. The remaining amount of $617,095 is included in the amount due to former shareholders of subsidiaries as of June 30, 2011, and is expected to be paid out 50% in cash and 50% in Company stock in October 2011 (See Note 12).
In June of 2010, the Company recognized a gain of $135,012 related to payments made to the former shareholder of Adcom in satisfaction of integration and earn-out obligations payable in Company stock that were ultimately paid in cash at a discount.

ACQUISITION OF DBA DISTRIBUTION SERVICES, INC.
|
On April 6, 2011, the Company closed on an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") pursuant to which the Company acquired DBA Distribution Services, Inc. ("DBA"), a privately-held New Jersey corporation. For financial accounting purposes, the transaction was deemed to be effective as of April 1, 2011. The shares of DBA were acquired by the Company via a merger transaction pursuant to which DBA was merged into a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company. The $12.0 million transaction consisted of cash of $5.4 million paid at closing, the delivery of $4.8 million in seller notes payable over the next three years and $1.8 million in connection with the achievement of certain integration milestones to be paid within 180 days after the milestones have been achieved; however, no later than the 18th month anniversary of the closing. The remaining seller notes may be subject to acceleration upon occurrence of a "Corporate Transaction", which includes a future sale of DBA or Radiant, or certain changes in corporate control. The cash component of the transaction was financed through a combination of the Company's existing funds and funds available under an existing revolving credit facility provided by Bank of America, N.A.
The seller notes payable are due annually on March 31 in three equal payments. The note also accrues interest at 6.5%, with payments of that interest due on a quarterly basis. In May 2011, the Company elected to satisfy $2.4 million of the seller notes through the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock. Of the remaining $2.4 million outstanding as of June 30, 2011, $0.8 million is payable during each of the years ending June 30, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Founded in 1981, DBA services a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers through a combination of company-owned logistics centers located in Somerset, New Jersey and Los Angeles, California and twenty-four agency offices located across North America.
The total net assets acquired were $12.0 million. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities at April 6, 2011:

The fair value of the financial assets acquired includes receivables with a fair value of $14,675,079. The gross amount due under the contracts is $15,728,582, of which $1,053,503 is expected to be uncollectible.
The fair value of the intangible assets were estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs. Under this method, an intangible asset's fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows (excess earnings) attributable solely to the intangible asset over its remaining useful life. To calculate fair value, the Company used risk-adjusted cash flows discounted at rates considered appropriate given the inherent risks associated with each type of asset. The Company believes the level and timing of cash flows appropriately reflect market participant assumptions.
The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the expected cost synergies associated with eliminating redundancies and migrating back office operations of DBA to the Company, in addition to an expectation of better buy rates from some carriers due to increased volumes associated with the acquisition of DBA. The goodwill recorded is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Associated with the acquisition of DBA, the Company incurred $582,762 of non-recurring transition costs consisting principally of personnel, general and administrative costs which are being eliminated in connection with the winding down of DBA's historical back-office operations and transitioning them to the corporate headquarters. These costs are reported as a separate line item on the face of the Company's statement of income for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Since acquisition, DBA produced revenue of $19.0 million and a net loss of $0.3 million, including other purchase accounting charges resulting from the acquisition.
If the acquisition had taken place effective July 1, 2009, the result would have produced combined revenue of $278.5 million and $234.1 million and combined net income of $3.1 million and $1.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented is for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisitions and any borrowings undertaken to finance the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of fiscal 2010.

Certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have the sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties are considered "variable interest entities". RLP is 40% owned by Radiant Global Logistics ("RGL"), qualifies as a variable interest entity and is included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 8). RLP commenced operations in February 2007. Non-controlling interest recorded as an expense on the statements of income was $159,209 and $118,641 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

RELATED PARTY
|
RLP is owned 40% by RGL and 60% by Radiant Capital Partners, LLC ("RCP"), a company for which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the sole member. RLP is a certified minority business enterprise which was formed for the purpose of providing the Company with a national accounts strategy to pursue corporate and government accounts with diversity initiatives. RCP’s ownership interest entitles it to a majority of the profits and distributable cash, if any, generated by RLP. The operations of RLP are intended to provide certain benefits to the Company, including expanding the scope of services offered by the Company and participating in supplier diversity programs not otherwise available to the Company. In the course of evaluating and approving the ownership structure, operations and economics emanating from RLP, a committee consisting of the independent Board member of the Company, considered, among other factors, the significant benefits provided to the Company through association with a minority business enterprises, particularly as many of the Company’s largest current and potential customers have a need for diversity offerings. In addition, the Committee concluded that the economic relationship with RLP was on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available from unaffiliated third parties. RLP is consolidated in the financial statements of the Company (see Note 7).

Depreciation and amortization expense related to furniture and equipment was $383,816 and $438,909 for the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
As a condition of signing a new lease for the Company’s new corporate office, the Company was reimbursed approximately $391,000 for leasehold improvement purchases related to the new office. This lease incentive is included in other long-term liabilities on the balance sheet and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the lease.

OTHER LONG TERM DEBT
|
In April 2011, in connection with the acquisition of DBA, the Company’s $20.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $0.5 million sublimit to support letters of credit (collectively, the "Facility"), was extended to a maturity date of March 31, 2013. Advances under the Facility are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes. Borrowings under the facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the bank’s prime rate minus 0.75% to plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75% to 3.00%, and can be adjusted up or down during the term of the Facility based on the Company’s performance relative to certain financial covenants. The Facility is collateralized by accounts receivable and other assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and provides for advances of up to 80% of eligible domestic accounts receivable and for advances of up to 60% of eligible foreign accounts receivable.
F-17
The terms of the Facility are subject to certain financial and operational covenants which may limit the amount otherwise available under the Facility. The first covenant limits funded debt to a multiple of 4.00 times the Company’s consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as adjusted, measured on a rolling four quarter basis. The second financial covenant requires the Company to maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0. The third financial covenant is a minimum profitability standard that requires the Company not to incur a net loss before taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles and extraordinary items in any two consecutive quarterly accounting periods.
Under the terms of the Facility, the Company is permitted to make additional acquisitions without the lender's consent only if certain conditions are satisfied. The conditions imposed by the Facility include the following: (i) the absence of an event of default under the Facility; (ii) the company to be acquired must be in the transportation and logistics industry; (iii) the purchase price to be paid must be consistent with the Company’s historical business and acquisition model; (iv) after giving effect for the funding of the acquisition, the Company must have undrawn availability of at least $1.0 million under the Facility; (v) the lender must be reasonably satisfied with projected financial statements the Company provides covering a 12 month period following the acquisition; (vi) the acquisition documents must be provided to the lender and must be consistent with the description of the transaction provided to the lender; and (vii) the number of permitted acquisitions is limited to three per calendar year and shall not exceed $10.0 million in aggregate purchase price financed by funded debt. In the event that the Company is not able to satisfy the conditions of the Facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, it must either forego the acquisition, obtain the lender's consent, or retire the Facility. This may limit or slow the Company’s ability to achieve the critical mass it may need to achieve its strategic objectives.
The co-borrowers of the Facility include Radiant Logistics, Inc., RGL (f/k/a Airgroup Corporation), Adcom Express, Inc. (d/b/a Adcom Worldwide), DBA (d/b/a Distribution by Air), Radiant Transportation Services ("RTS", f/k/a Radiant Logistics Global Services, Inc.), and RLP. As a co-borrower under the Facility, the accounts receivable of RLP are eligible for inclusion within the overall borrowing base of the Company and all borrowers will be responsible for repayment of the debt associated with advances under the Facility, including those advanced to RLP. At June 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.
As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $7,777,017 in advances under the Facility and $2,492,251 in outstanding checks, which had not yet been presented to the bank for payment. The outstanding checks have been reclassed from cash as they will be advanced from, or against, the Facility when presented for payment to the bank. These amounts total the balance of other long term debt in the balance sheet of $10,269,268.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $5,279,095 in advances under the Facility and $2,361,926 in outstanding checks, which had not yet been presented to the bank for payment. The outstanding checks have been reclassed from cash as they will be advanced from, or against, the Facility when presented for payment to the bank. These amounts total the balance of other long term debt in the balance sheet of $7,641,021.
At June 30, 2011, based on available collateral and $205,000 in outstanding letter of credit commitments, there was $11,671,392 available for borrowing under the Facility based on advances outstanding.

Legal Proceedings
In December 2010, the Company recorded a charge of $150,000 in connection with the settlement of a dispute with one of its competitors related to the 2007 departure of the competitor’s then Chicago operation. By agreement among the parties, without admission of any wrong doing on the part of the Company and with affirmation of the parties’ right to freely compete in the marketplace, the Company agreed to make a $150,000 donation to a mutually agreeable IRC 503(c) charitable organization. Neither the Company nor its competitor received any payment in connection with the settlement. Of this amout, $75,000 was paid during the year ending June 30, 2011, and the remaining $75,000 is included in current portion of notes payable and other liabilities on the balance sheet.
Adcom Purchase Contingencies
Effective September 5, 2008, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Adcom Express (See Note 4). The Company’s agreement with respect to the acquisition of Adcom contains future contingent consideration provisions which provide for the selling shareholder to receive additional consideration if minimum pre-tax income levels are made in future periods. Contingent consideration is accounted for as additional goodwill when earned based on the accounting principles in effect at the time of the acquisition.

Through June 30, 2011, the former Adcom shareholder earned a total of $1,454,141 as part of the Tier 1 Earn-Out arrangement. Of this amount, $617,095 is unpaid as of June 30, 2011. This balance is included in due to former shareholders of subsidiaries and is payable on or before October 1, 2011.

Any amounts due under these arrangements are payable as a function of the financial performance of any newly acquired operation and are conditioned payable upon, among other things, the retention of any newly acquired operations for a period of not less than 12 months. Payment of the finder’s fee may be paid in cash, Company shares, or a combination of cash and shares.

NOTE 14 -

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
|
On October 20, 2005, the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan ("2005 Plan). The 2005 Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be acquired by the holders of said awards. For the 2005 Plan the awards can take the form of incentive stock options ("ISOs") or nonqualified stock options ("NSOs") and may be granted to key employees, directors and consultants. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event, or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria, and restrictions as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (i) no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date of grant of such Option, (ii) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a participant who owns more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the date of grant of such Option, and (iii) no Option granted to a prospective employee, prospective consultant or prospective director may become exercisable prior to the date on which such person commences Service with the Participating Company. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Option Agreement evidencing the Option, any Option granted hereunder shall have a term of ten (10) years from the effective date of grant of the Option.
F-20
The price at which each share covered by an Option may be purchased shall be determined in each case by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that such price shall not, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, be less than the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock at the time the Option is granted. If a participant owns (or is deemed to own under applicable provisions of the Code and rules and regulations promulgated hereunder) more than ten percent (10%) of the combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company and an Option granted to such participant is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, the Option price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock covered by the Option on the date the Option is granted.
Fair market value of the Stock on any given date means (i) if the Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the National Market or Small Cap Market of The NASDAQ Stock Market, its Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system for the last market trading day prior to the time of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; (ii) if the Stock is regularly traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board Service, or a comparable automated quotation system, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Stock on the last market trading day prior to the day of determination; or (iii) in the absence of an established market for the Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Plan Administrator.
Under the 2005 Plan, stock options were granted to employees and are exercisable in whole or in part at stated times from the date of grant up to ten years from the date of grant. Under the 2005 Plan, 245,242 stock options were granted to employees at a weighted average exercise price of $1.66 per share during the year ended June 30, 2011. During the year ended June 30, 2010, 300,000 stock options were granted to employees at a weighted average exercise price of $0.28 per share. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $115,346 for the year ended June 30, 2011, and $218,781 for the year ended June 30, 2010.
The following table reflects activity under the plan for years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010:
