NOTE 1 – THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company
Radiant Logistics, Inc. (the “Company”) operates as a third party logistics company, providing multi-modal transportation and logistics services primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company services a large and diversified account base consisting of consumer goods, food and beverage, manufacturing and retail customers which it supports from an extensive network of approximately 150 operating locations across North America. The Company provides these services through a multi-brand network comprised of Company-owned offices and locations operated by its strategic operating partners, as well as an integrated international service partner network located in other key markets around the globe. As a third party logistics company, the Company has approximately 10,000 asset-based transportation companies, including motor carriers, railroads, airlines and ocean lines, in its carrier network. The Company believes shippers value its services because it is able to objectively arrange the most efficient and cost-effective means, type and provider of transportation service without undue influence caused by the ownership of transportation assets. In addition, the Company’s minimal investment in physical assets affords it the opportunity for a higher return on invested capital and net cash flows than the Company’s asset-based competitors.
Through its operating locations across North America, the Company offers domestic and international air and ocean freight forwarding services and freight brokerage services including truckload services, less than truckload services and intermodal services, which is the movement of freight in trailers or containers by combination of truck and rail. The Company’s primary business operations involve arranging the shipment, on behalf of its customers, of materials, products, equipment and other goods that are generally larger than shipments handled by integrated carriers of primarily small parcels, such as FedEx, DHL and UPS, including arranging and monitoring all aspects of material flow activity utilizing advanced information technology systems. The Company also provides other value-added logistics services, including customs brokerage, order fulfillment, inventory management and warehousing services to complement its core transportation service offering.
The Company expects to grow its business organically and by completing acquisitions of other companies with complementary geographic and logistics service offerings. The Company’s organic growth strategy will continue to focus on strengthening existing and expanding new customer relationships leveraging the benefit of the Company’s new truck brokerage and intermodal service offerings, while continuing its efforts on the organic build-out of the Company’s network of strategic operating partner locations. In addition, as the Company continues to grow and scale the business, the Company is creating density in its trade lanes which creates opportunities for the Company to more efficiently source and manage our transportation capacity.
In addition to its focus on organic growth, it will continue to search for acquisition candidates that bring critical mass from a geographic standpoint, purchasing power and/or complementary service offerings to the current platform. As the Company continues to grow and scale the business, it remains focused on leveraging its back-office infrastructure to drive productivity improvement across the organization.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include revenue recognition, accruals for the cost of purchased transportation, the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities, changes in contingent consideration, accounting for the issuance of shares and share-based compensation, the assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets and goodwill, and the establishment of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
b)
|
Fair Value Measurements
|
In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs are unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.
c)
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
The carrying values of the Company’s receivables, accounts payable and accrued transportation costs, commissions payable, other accrued costs, and the income tax deposit approximate the fair values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s credit facility and other long-term liabilities would not differ significantly from fair value (based on Level 2 inputs) if recalculated based on current interest rates. Contingent consideration attributable to the Company’s acquisitions are reported at fair value using Level 3 inputs.
d)
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are not securing any corporate obligations. Cash balances may at times exceed federally insured limits. Checks issued by the Company that have not yet been presented to the bank for payment are reported as accounts payable and commissions payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Accounts payable and commissions payable includes outstanding payments which had not yet been presented to the bank for payment in the amounts of $5,154,280 and $3,137,103 as of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
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.
9
The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenue through ind
ependently-owned strategic operating partner locations operating under the various Company brands. Each individual strategic operating partner is responsible for some or all of the bad debt expense related to the underlying customers being serviced by such
operating partner. To facilitate this arrangement, certain strategic operating partners are required to maintain a security deposit with the Company that is recognized as a liability in the Company’s financial statements. The Company charges each individu
al strategic operating partner’s bad debt reserve account for any accounts receivable aged beyond 90 days. However, the bad debt reserve account may carry a deficit balance when amounts charged to this reserve exceed amounts otherwise available in the bad
debt reserve account. In these circumstances, deficit bad debt reserve accounts, as well as other deficit balances owed to us by our strategic operating partners, are recognized as a receivable in the Company’s financial statements. Other strategic operati
ng partners are not responsible to establish a bad debt reserve, however, they are still responsible for deficits and their strategic operating partner agreements provide that the Company may withhold all or a portion of future commission checks payable to
the individual operating partner in satisfaction of any deficit balance. Currently, a number of the Company’s operating partners have a deficit balance in their bad debt reserve account. The Company expects to replenish these funds through the future busi
ness operations of these operating partners. However, to the extent any of these operating partners were to cease operations or otherwise be unable to replenish these deficit accounts, the Company would be at risk of loss for any such amount.
g)
|
Furniture and Equipment
|
Technology (computer software, hardware, and communications), vehicles, furniture, and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Depreciation is computed using three to fifteen year lives for vehicles, communication, office, furniture, and computer equipment using the straight line method of depreciation. Computer software is depreciated over a three year life using the straight line method of depreciation. For leasehold improvements, the cost is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life on a straight line basis. Upon retirement or other disposition of these assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is reflected in other income or expense. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals of minor items are charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized.
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of a business acquired. The Company typically performs its annual goodwill impairment test effective as of April 1 of each year, unless events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred before that time. The Company assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. After assessing qualitative factors, the Company determined that no further testing was necessary. If further testing was necessary, the Company would have performed a two-step impairment test for goodwill. The first step requires the Company to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. 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. As of March 31, 2016, management believes there are no indications of impairment.
Acquired intangibles consist of customer related intangibles, trade names and trademarks, and non-compete agreements arising from the Company’s acquisitions. Customer related intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method over a period of up to 10 years, trademarks and trade names are amortized using the straight line method over 15 years, and non-compete agreements are amortized using the straight line method over the term of the underlying agreements.
The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. During the fiscal year, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of customer related intangibles associated with the On Time Express, Inc. (“OTE”) acquisition due to a loss of customers. As a result, the Company reviewed the customer related intangibles and recorded an impairment loss of $3,679,825 during the second fiscal quarter. The impairment was measured using future discounted cash flows using Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Management has performed a review of all long-lived assets and has determined no further impairment of the respective carrying value has occurred as of March 31, 2016.
10
The Company accounts for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting and allocates the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, the estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
The fair values of intangible assets acquired are estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with Level 3 inputs. Under this method, an intangible 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 uses risk-adjusted cash flows discounted at rates considered appropriate given the inherent risks associated with each type of asset. The Company believes the level and timing of cash flows appropriately reflects market participant assumptions.
The Company determines the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration payable based on the likelihood of paying the contingent consideration as part of the consideration transferred. The fair value is estimated using projected future operating results and the corresponding future earn-out payments that can be earned upon the achievement of specified operating objectives and financial results by our acquired companies using Level 3 inputs and the amounts are then discounted to present value. These liabilities are measured quarterly at fair value, and any change in the contingent liability is included in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company has operating lease commitments for equipment rentals, office space, and warehouse space under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through May 2021. Rent expense is recognized straight line over the term of the lease. Minimum future lease payments (excluding the lease payments included in the lease termination liability) under these non-cancelable operating leases for each of the next five fiscal years ending June 30 and thereafter are as follows:

Lease Termination and Transition Costs
|
Lease termination costs consist of expenses related to future rent payments for which we no longer intend to receive any economic benefit. A liability is recorded when we cease to use leased space. Lease termination costs are calculated as the present value of lease payments, net of expected sublease income, and the loss on disposition of assets. Transition costs consist of nonrecurring personnel costs that will be eliminated in connection with the winding-down of the historical back-office of SBA and other operating locations.

The Company has employee savings plans under which the Company provides matching contributions. The Company’s contributions under the plans were $208,104 and $507,513 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $126,311 and $349,408 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.
Deferred income taxes are reported using the asset and 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, if any, are recorded as a component of interest expense or other expense, respectively.
o)
|
Revenue Recognition and Purchased Transportation Costs
|
The Company is the primary obligor responsible for providing the service desired by the customer and is responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the service(s) ordered or purchased by the customer. At the 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 generally does not own transportation assets. The Company generates the major portion of its freight forwarding revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and reselling those services to its customers. Based upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments where the Company issues a House Airway Bill or a House Ocean Bill of Lading are recognized at the time the freight is tendered to the direct carrier at origin net of duties and taxes. Costs related to the shipments are also recognized at this same time based upon anticipated margins, contractual arrangements with direct carriers, and other known factors. The estimates are routinely monitored and compared to actual invoiced costs. The estimates are adjusted as deemed necessary by the Company to reflect differences between the original accruals and actual costs of purchased transportation.
This method generally results in recognition of revenues and purchased transportation costs earlier than the preferred methods under GAAP which does not recognize revenue until a proof of delivery is received or which recognizes revenue as progress on the transit is made. The 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.
All other revenue, including revenue from other value-added services including brokerage services, warehousing and fulfillment services, is recognized upon completion of the service.
p)
|
Share-Based Compensation
|
The Company has issued restricted stock awards and stock options to certain directors, officers and employees. The Company accounts for share-based compensation under the fair value recognition provisions such that compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is expensed ratably over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the percentage of awards that will be forfeited, stock volatility, the expected life of the award, and other inputs. If actual forfeitures differ significantly from the estimates, share-based compensation expense and the Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted. The Company issues new shares of common stock to satisfy exercises and vesting of awards granted under our stock plan.
The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $326,973 and $1,085,169 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $281,204 and $732,772 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015.

Basic and Diluted Income Per Share
|
Basic income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares, such as stock awards and stock options, had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Net income attributable to common stockholders is calculated after earned preferred stock dividends, whether or not declared.
For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 48,745,727 shares of common stock. Unvested restricted stock awards and options to purchase 4,349,922 shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as there was a net loss in the period and their effect would have been antidilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 36,476,629 shares of common stock, including unvested restricted stock awards and options to purchase 5,270,183 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2015, of which 777,051 were excluded as their effect would have been antidilutive.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 48,282,964 shares of common stock. Unvested restricted stock awards and options to purchase 4,349,922 shares of common stock were excluded from the diluted income per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, as there was a net loss in the period and their effect would have been antidilutive. For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the weighted average outstanding number of potentially dilutive common shares totaled 36,161,557 shares of common stock, including unvested restricted stock awards and options to purchase 5,270,183 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2015, of which 912,768 were excluded as their effect would have been antidilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation
|
For the Company’s significant foreign subsidiaries that prepare financial statements in currencies other than U.S. dollars, the local currency is the functional currency. All assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates and all income statement amounts are translated at the weighted average rates for the period. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Gains and losses on transactions of monetary items are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified in the Company’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the classification used in fiscal year 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 to further clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest, requiring entities to present debt issuance costs related to a debt liability as a reduction of the carrying amount of that liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 to provide additional guidance related to debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2015, the
FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, to require all deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after Dece
mber 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, to replace existing guidance. The guidance requires the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases with terms more than 12 months on the balance sheet. Guidance is also provided for the presentation of leases within the statement of operations and cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation, to improve the accounting for share-based compensation. The guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based compensation, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, tax withholdings, and classification of items in the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
NOTE 3 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
Fiscal Year 2016 Acquisition
Copper Logistics, Incorporated
On November 2, 2015, the Company acquired the operations and assets of Copper Logistics, Incorporated (“Copper”), a Minneapolis, Minnesota based company that provides a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services across North America. The Company has structured the transaction similar to previous acquisitions, with a portion of the expected purchase price payable in subsequent periods based on future performance of the acquired operation.
Fiscal Year 2015 Acquisitions
Wheels Group, Inc.
On April 2, 2015, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Wheels Group Inc. (“Wheels”). Under an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement”), the Company purchased Wheels for approximately $26.9 million in cash and 6,900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company was also responsible for a portion of Wheels’ transaction costs, in addition to its own costs. Wheels, founded in 1988, provides truck brokerage and intermodal services throughout the United States and Canada along with value added warehouse and distribution service offerings in support of U.S. shippers looking to access the Canadian markets. Wheels is one of the largest third party logistics providers in Canada. Wheels, now formally amalgamated into Wheels International, Inc., provides these services primarily to the food and beverage, consumer packaged goods, frozen foods and refrigerated product, and building products industries. The goodwill recognized is attributable to a larger geographic footprint and an increased service line expansion and is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for Wheels are included in the Company’s financial statements as of the date of purchase.
Service by Air, Inc.
On June 8, 2015, the Company acquired the outstanding stock of Service by Air, Inc. (“SBA”), a privately-held New York corporation founded in 1976. SBA is a domestic and international freight forwarder serving manufacturers, distributors and retailers through a combination of three company-owned operating locations and forty independent strategic operating partners across North America. The base purchase price was approximately $12.25 million, consisting of $11.4 million paid in cash at closing, and $0.85 million payable net of working capital and other holdbacks. The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to the expected cost synergies associated with eliminating redundancies and migrating back-office operations of SBA to the Company and is not deductible for tax purposes. The results of operations for SBA are included in the Company’s financial statements as of the date of purchase.
14
Other Acquisitions
On September 1, 2014, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company acquired the assets and operations of Trans-Net, Inc. (“TNI”), a privately-held company based in Issaquah, Washington. TNI has extensive experience providing integrated project logistics solutions in key Russian oil, gas, mining and infrastructure development markets. On December 15, 2014, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company acquired the assets and operations of Don Cameron & Associates, Inc. (“DCA”), a privately-held company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. DCA has extensive experience providing a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services across North America to the med-tech, advertising/marketing, pharmaceutical, and trade show industries. Effective as of June 1, 2015, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the company acquired the stock of Highways and Skyways, Inc. (“Highways”), a privately-held company based near Cincinnati, Ohio. Highways services a full range of domestic and international transportation and logistics services to manufacturing, apparel, paper products, medical devices, consumer products and technology industries. Each of the TNI, DCA and Highways acquisitions include earn-out payments that are payable upon achieving certain earnings up to a maximum contingent consideration of $6.5 million, although there are no maximums on certain of the earn-out payments.
Each of the TNI, DCA, Highways, and Copper acquisitions were financed with proceeds from the Company’s Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6), and the transactions were structured using cash, stock, and earn-out payments. The goodwill recorded is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over a period of 15 years. The consideration paid, purchase price, and pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of these acquisitions was not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The results of operations for the businesses acquired are included in our financial statements as of the date of purchase. The preliminary fair value estimates for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon preliminary calculations and valuations and our estimates and assumptions are subject to change as we obtain additional information for our estimates during the respective measurement periods (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary estimates for Wheels, SBA, Highways and Copper not yet finalized relates to certain tangible assets and liabilities acquired, and identifiable intangible assets.

Bank of America Credit Facility
The Company has a $65.0 million senior credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”) on its own behalf and as agent to the other lenders named therein, currently consisting of the Bank of Montreal (as the initial member of the syndicate under such loan), pursuant to an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement. The Credit Facility includes a $2.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit and matures August 9, 2018.
Borrowings accrue interest based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio at the Lender’s base rate plus 0.0% to 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.50% to 2.25%.
The Credit Facility provides for advances of up to 85% of the eligible Canadian and domestic accounts receivable, 75% of eligible accrued but unbilled domestic receivables and eligible foreign accounts receivable, all of which are subject to certain sub-limits, reserves and reductions.
The Credit Facility is
collateralized by a first-priority security interest in all of the assets of the U.S. co-borrowers, a first-priority security interest in all of the accounts receivable and associated assets of the Canadian co-borrowers (the “Canadian A/R Assets”) and a second-priority security interest on the other assets of the Canadian borrowers.
Borrowings are available to fund future acquisitions, capital expenditures, repurchase of Company stock or for other corporate purposes. The terms of the Credit Facility are subject to customary financial and operational covenants, including covenants that may limit or restrict the ability to, among other things, borrow under the Credit Facility, incur indebtedness from other lenders, and make acquisitions. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.
As of March 31, 2016, based on available collateral and $286,800 in outstanding letter of credit commitments, there was $39,161,000 available for borrowing under the Credit Facility and excluding any availability attributable to accounts receivable of SBA.
Senior Secured Loan
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Wheels, Wheels obtained a CAD$29.0 million senior secured Canadian term loan from Integrated Private Debt Fund IV LP (“IPD”) pursuant to a CAD$29,000,000 Credit Facilities Loan Agreement (the “IPD Loan Agreement”). The Company and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are guarantors of the Wheels obligations thereunder. The loan matures on April 1, 2024 and accrues interest at a rate of 6.65% per annum. The Company is required to maintain 5 months interest in a debt service reserve account to be controlled by IPD. This amount is recorded as deposits and other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The loan repayment consists of interest-only payments for the first 12 months followed by blended principal and interest payments for the next eight years. The loan may be prepaid in whole at any time upon providing at least 30 days prior written notice and paying the difference between (i) the present value of the loan interest and the principal payments foregone discounted at the Government of Canada Bond Yield for the term from the date of prepayment to April 1, 2024, and (ii) the face value of the principal amount being prepaid. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants.
The loan is collateralized by a (i) first-priority security interest in all of the assets of Wheels except the Canadian A/R Assets, (ii) a second-priority security interest in the Canadian A/R Assets, and (iii) a second-priority security interest on all of the Company’s assets.
Subordinated Secured Loan
In connection the Company’s acquisition of Wheels, the Company obtained a $25.0 million subordinated secured term loan from Alcentra Capital Corporation ($10.0 million) and Triangle Capital Corporation ($15.0 million) (collectively, the “Subordinated Lenders”) pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Alcentra/Triangle Subordinated Loan Agreement”). The loan matures on April 2, 2021 and accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum during the first six months of the loan, followed by a variable rate of LIBOR plus 9.5%-12% (all with a 1% LIBOR floor), depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Prior to April 2, 2016, the loan may not be prepaid. After this, prior to April 2, 2017, the loan may be prepaid by paying a prepayment premium equal to 3% of the amount prepaid. After April 2, 2017, the loan may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without penalty. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants. In April 2016, the Company repaid this loan in full (see Note 14).
The loan is collateralized by a third-priority security interest in all of the Company’s U.S. based assets. The loan is subordinate to the Senior Credit Facility and the loan from IPD, and is senior to all other indebtedness.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value at $0.001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 per share.
Series A Preferred Stock
The Company has 839,200 outstanding shares of 9.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Shares”) liquidation preference $25 per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares are cumulative from the date of original issue and are payable on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors. If the Company does not pay dividends in full on any two payment dates (whether consecutive or not), the per annum dividend rate will increase an additional 2.0% per annum per $25.00 stated liquidation preference, up to a maximum of 19.0% per annum. If the Company fails to maintain the listing of the Series A Preferred Shares on the NYSE MKT or other exchange for 30 days or more, the per annum dividend rate will increase by an additional 2.0% per annum so long as the listing failure continues. The Series A Preferred Shares require the Company to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 2.0. If the Company is not in compliance with this ratio, then it cannot pay any dividend on its common stock. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with this ratio.
Commencing on December 20, 2018, the Company may redeem, at its option, the Series A Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared). Among other things, the Series A Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or other mandatory redemption, and are not convertible into or exchangeable for any of the Company’s other securities. Holders of Series A Preferred Shares generally have no voting rights, except if the Company fails to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares for six or more quarterly periods (whether consecutive or not). Under such circumstances, holders of Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote to elect two additional directors to the Company’s Board of Directors, until all unpaid dividends have been paid or declared and set aside for payment. In addition, certain changes to the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares cannot be made without the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class. The Series A Preferred Shares are senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividends and distributions, including distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. The Series A Preferred Shares a
re listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “RLGT-PA.”
For the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company’s board of directors declared and paid cash dividends to holders of Series A Preferred Shares in the amount of $1.828125 per share, totaling $1,534,163.
Common Stock
On July 16, 2015, the Company closed a registered underwritten public offering of 6,133,334 shares of common stock, including the full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. Proceeds from the offering totaled $38,430,194 after deducting the underwriting discount of $2,484,000 and offering costs of $485,810. The proceeds were used to reduce the borrowings under the Credit Facility.
In January 2016, the Company’s board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2016. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time-to-time, shares of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prevailing market prices or through privately negotiated transactions as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. The Company has not purchased any shares under this program as of the date of this filing.
NOTE 8 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
RLP is owned 40% by RGL and 60% by RCP, a company for which the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the sole member. RLP is a certified minority business enterprise that was formed for the purpose of providing the Company with a national accounts strategy to pursue corporate and government accounts with diversity initiatives. 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 enterprise, 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.
18
Certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have the su
fficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties are considered “variable interest entities”. RLP qualifies as a variable interest entity and is included in the Company’s
condensed consolidated financial statements.
RLP recorded $32,983 and $89,339 in profits, of which RCP’s distributable share was $19,790 and $53,603
, f
or the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. RLP recorded $31,757 and $104,411 in profits, of which RCP’s distributable share was $19,054 and $62,646, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015. The non-controlling interest recorded as a reduction of income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations represents RCP’s distributive share.

The Company has contingent obligations to transfer cash payments and equity shares to former shareholders of acquired operations in conjunction with certain acquisitions if specified operating results and financial objectives are met over the next four fiscal years. Contingent consideration is measured quarterly at fair value, and any change in the contingent liability is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company recorded an increase to contingent consideration of $441,560 and $627,793 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and a decrease to contingent consideration of $428,216 and $1,149,012 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The change in the current period is principally attributable to a reduction in management’s estimates of future earn-out payments for OTE, offset by increases in management’s estimated future earn-out payments for DCA and Highways.
The Company uses projected future financial results based on recent and historical data to value the anticipated future earn-out payments. To calculate fair value, the future earn-out payments were then discounted using Level 3 inputs. The Company has classified the contingent consideration as Level 3 due to the lack of relevant observable market data over fair value inputs. The Company believes the discount rate used to discount the earn-out payments reflects market participant assumptions. Changes in assumptions and operating results could have a significant impact on the earn-out amount, up to a maximum of $16.1 million through earn-out periods measured through November 2019, although there are no maximums on certain earn-out payments. Contingent consideration is net of advances on earn-out payments of $0.8 million.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liabilities for the liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to losses in the U.S. and a foreign jurisdiction that is being benefited at a lower foreign rate. This is partially offset by a benefit for a nontaxable gain related to contingent consideration.
Tax years which remain subject to examination by federal authorities are the years ended June 30, 2013 through June 30, 2015. Tax years which remain subject to examination by state authorities are the years ended June 30, 2012 through June 30, 2015.
NOTE 11 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Awards
The Company granted restricted stock awards to certain employees in August 2012. The shares are restricted in transferability for a term of up to five years and are forfeited in the event the employee terminates employment prior to the lapse of the restriction. The awards generally vest ratably over a five year period. The Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to stock awards of $589 and $2,779 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively, and $1,261 and $3,783 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.

NOTE 12 – CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
DBA Distribution Services, Inc. – Bretta Santini Pollara v. Radiant Logistics, Inc., United States District Court, Central District of California, Case No. 12-344 GAF
In December 2012, an arbitrator awarded the Company damages from the former shareholders of DBA, finding that the former shareholders breached certain representations and warranties contained in the DBA Agreement. In addition, the arbitrator found that Paul Pollara breached his noncompetition obligation to the Company and enjoined Mr. Pollara from engaging in any activity in contravention of his obligations of noncompetition and non-solicitation, including activities that relate to Santini Productions and his spouse, Bretta Santini Pollara until March 2016. The award also provided that the former DBA Shareholders and Mr. Pollara must pay to the Company the administrative fees, compensation and expenses of the arbitrator associated with the arbitration. The award has been off-set against amounts due to former shareholders of acquired operations. The gain on litigation settlement was recorded net of judgment interest and associated legal costs.
In a related matter, in December 2011, Ms. Pollara filed a claim for declaratory relief against the Company seeking an order stipulating that she is not bound by the non-compete covenant contained within the DBA Agreement signed by her husband, Mr. Pollara. On January 23, 2012, the Company filed a counterclaim against Ms. Pollara, her company Santini Productions, Daniel Reffner (a former employee of the Company now working for Ms. Pollara), and Oceanair, Inc. (“Oceanair”, a company doing business with Santini Productions). The Company’s counterclaim alleges claims for statutory and common law misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of duty of loyalty, and unfair competition, and sought damages in excess of $1,000,000.
In April 2014, a jury returned a verdict in the Company’s favor in the amount of $1,500,000, but the judge entered a judgment notwithstanding the verdict and dismissed the case. The Company has filed a notice of appeal with the 9
th
Circuit Court of Appeals. Santini and Oceanair also appealed the trial court’s denial of fees. Oral argument at the 9
th
Circuit Court of Appeals occurred in May 2016 and the Company is currently awaiting a decision. Due to the uncertainty associated with the litigation and judicial review process, the Company is unable at this time to express an opinion as to the outcome of this matter.
Ingrid Barahoma v. Accountabilities, Inc. d/b/a/ Accountabilities Staffing, Inc., Radiant Global Logistics, Inc. and DBA Distribution Services, Inc. (Ingrid Barahona California Class Action)
On October 25, 2013, plaintiff Ingrid Barahona filed a purported class action lawsuit against RGL, DBA Distribution Services, Inc. (“DBA”), and two third-party staffing companies (collectively, the “Staffing Defendants”) with whom Radiant and DBA contracted for temporary employees. In the lawsuit, Ms. Barahona, on behalf of herself and the putative class, seeks damages and penalties under California law, plus interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs, along with equitable remedies, alleging that she and the putative class were the subject of unfair and unlawful business practices, including certain wage and hour violations relating to, among others, failure to provide meal and rest periods, failure to pay minimum wages and overtime, and failure to reimburse employees for work-related expenses. Ms. Barahona alleges that she was jointly employed by the staffing companies and Radiant and DBA. Radiant and DBA deny Ms. Barahona’s allegations in their entirety, deny that they are liable to Ms. Barahona or the putative class members in any way, and are vigorously defending against these allegations based upon a preliminary evaluation of applicable records and legal standards.
21
If Ms. Barahona’s allegations were to prevail on all claims the Company, as well as its co-defendants, could be liable for uninsured damages in a
n amount that, while not significant when evaluated against either the Company’s assets or current and expected level of annual earnings, could be material when judged against the Company’s earnings in the particular quarter in which any such damages arose
, if at all. However, based upon the Company’s preliminary evaluation of the matter, it does not believe it is likely to incur material damages, if at all, since, among others: (i) the amount of any potential damages remains highly speculative at this stag
e of the proceedings; (ii) the Company does not believe as a matter of law it should be characterized as Ms. Barahona’s employer and co-defendant Accountabilities admitted to being the employer of record, (iii) any settlement will be properly apportioned b
etween all named defendants and Radiant and DBA will not exclusively fund the settlement; (iv) wage and hour class actions of this nature typically settle for amounts significantly less than plaintiffs’ demands because of the uncertainly with litigation an
d the difficulty in taking these types of cases to trial; and (v) Plaintiff has indicated her desire to resolve this matter through a mediated settlement. Plaintiff recently admitted in a report to the court that she is unable to prosecute the case because
the payroll and personnel records she needs are in the possession of Tri-State and/or Accountabilities, and the case has been stayed as to them pending resolution of their chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In January 2016, the court held a status confere
nce, which has since been continued until May 2016 so the parties can attempt to obtain the necessary documents. DBA and Radiant are currently attempting to obtain the necessary records through the Tri-State and Accountabilities’ Trustee. At this time, the
Company is unable to express an opinion as to the likely outcome of the matter.
High Protection Company, a Utah Corporation, Plaintiff v. Professional Air Transportation, LLC, a Utah Limited Liability Company, d/b/a ADCOM, SLC; Radiant Logistics, Inc., a Foreign Corporation; ADCOM World-Wide,, an Operating Division of Radiant Logistics, Inc.; Radiant Global Logistics, Inc., a Foreign Corporation, d/b/a Container Lines; Felipe Lake, an Individual, Rubens Correa, an Individual; and Does 1-100, Defendants, United States District Court for the District Court of Utah (Central), Civil Docket No. 2:14-cv-00466-TC-BCW (formerly Salt Lake County, Utah, Case # 140902965)
On or about May 27, 2014, the Company, together with its co-defendants, including certain of its subsidiaries, were sued in the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, State of Utah. The matter was subsequently removed to the Federal Courts in the United States District Court, for the District of Utah. The lawsuit alleges liability and damages arising from the ocean shipment of five (5) armored vehicles from Jordan to the Kandahar Air Base, Afghanistan, commencing in August, 2011.
On April 10, 2011, the Plaintiff, High Protection Company, was awarded a contract from the United States Army in the amount of $716,000 for the manufacture and delivery of five armored vehicles. The vehicles were to be delivered to the Kandahar Airfield in Kandahar, Afghanistan, by May 16, 2011. The delivery of the vehicles was delayed into 2013 due to various delays that occurred during the shipping process, including the closing of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan from November 2011 to July 2012. In June 2013, the United States Army terminated its contract with the Plaintiff. Plaintiff asserted damages against the Company and its co-defendants in excess of $1,000,000, including loss of a $716,000 contract with the United States Army, demurrage and storage charges now alleged to exceed $200,000, and loss of the vehicles.
Based upon the Company’s preliminary understanding of the claims, it does not believe it is likely to be exposed to damages, or damages that are material, since, among others: (i) the Company is insured for claims of this nature subject to a $1,000,000 aggregate limit for all claims made and reported during the policy period (subject to a typical reservation of rights letter received from the Underwriter); (ii) the Company believes the Plaintiff’s losses, if any, were due, to a material extent, to its own contributory negligence; and (iii) the Plaintiff’s claim should be limited as a result of the limitations upon liability contained within the air bill of lading and other shipping documents used in the transaction.
In compliance with an Amended Scheduling Order, discovery has continued, and expert discovery has been scheduled. The Amended Scheduling Order permits amendment of pleadings, joinder of parties; expert discovery, dispositive motions, and final pre-trial conferences. The Amended Scheduling Order also includes scheduling for a potential jury trial date in December 2016. Plaintiff and Defendants have filed Motions for Summary Judgment with supporting Memoranda. An Order granting a Motion to Stay Proceedings was granted in December 2015 for purposes of a pending Mediation scheduled to commence in
February 2016
. The Mediation between the parties took place and the parties were unable to come to a resolution in this matter. Since the proceeding remains in its early stages, the Company is unable at this time to express an opinion as to the outcome of this matter.
The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are in the very early stages of litigation and therefore difficult to judge their potential materiality. For those claims for which we can judge the materiality, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Legal expenses are expensed as incurred.
22
Contingent Consideration and Earn-out Payments
The Company’s agreements with respect to previous acquisitions contain future consideration provisions which provide for the selling shareholder(s) to receive additional consideration if specified operating objectives and financial results are achieved in future periods, as defined in their respective agreements. Any changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Earn-out payments are generally due annually on November 1, and 90 days following the quarter of the final earn-out period for each respective acquisition.
The following table represents the estimated undiscounted earn-out payments to be paid in each of the following fiscal years:

NOTE 13 – OPERATING AND GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding allocation of resources and assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer. With the recent acquisition of Wheels, the Company has determined that it has two geographic operating segments: United States and Canada. Immaterial operations outside of the United States and Canada are reported in the United States segment.
23
The Company evaluates the performance of the segments primarily based on their respective revenues, net reven
ues and income from operations. Accordingly, capital expenditures and total assets are not reported in segment results. In addition, the Company has disclosed a corporate segment, which is not an operating segment and includes the costs of the Company’s ex
ecutives, board of directors, professional services such as legal and consulting, amortization of acquired intangible assets and certain other corporate costs associated with operating as a public company. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in
the condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations.
