1. Significant Accounting Principles

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the financial position at March 31, 2004, (b) the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, have been made.

 

The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Segmentz, Inc. (the Company) accounts for stock based compensation under the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and has disclosed pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts using the fair value based method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.” The Company has implemented the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. There was no stock based compensation given to employees during the period ended March 31, 2003.

1. Significant Accounting Principles -continued

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The preceding pro forma results were calculated with the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the period ended March 31, 2004 (1) risk-free interest rate of 2.80%, (2) no dividend yield (3) expected lives of between 3.0 and 5.0 years (4) volatility of 85%. Results may vary depending on the assumptions applied within the model. Compensation expense recognized in providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on net income for future years.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses, valuation of investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

1. Significant Accounting Principles -continued

 

Income Taxes

 

Taxes on income are provided in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and the tax effects of net operating loss and capital loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that included the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to offset the net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. There is no allowance recorded as of March 31, 2004 on any deferred tax assets.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year.

 

Common stock equivalents in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during this period. Therefore, the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in this period is the same as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.

 

2. Obligations Due Under Factoring Arrangement

 

As of January 31, 2004 the Company terminated the factoring agreement and the obligation due under factoring arrangement was fully satisfied.

Regulatory Compliance

 

The Company’s activities are regulated by state and federal regulatory agencies under requirements that are subject to broad interpretations. The Company cannot predict the position that may be taken by these third parties that could require changes to the manner in which the Company operates.

 

4. Line of Credit

Forward-Looking Statements. This Form 10-QSB includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-QSB which address activities, events or developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), finding suitable merger or acquisition candidates, expansion and growth of the Company’s business and operations, and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances. However, whether actual results or developments will conform with the Company’s expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, general economic market and business conditions; the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in laws or regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the control of the Company.

 

This Form 10-QSB contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of predictive, future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “will,” or similar terms. These statements appear in a number of places in this filing and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for its limited history; (ii) the Company’s business and growth strategies; and, (iii) the Company’s financing plans. Investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Factors that could adversely affect actual results and performance include, among others, the Company’s limited operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating results and expenses, government regulation, technology change and competition. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-QSB are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations to update any such forward-looking statements.

Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for trucking services, fuel, insurance, cross dock facilities, equipment costs and payroll expenses increased by approximately $3,281,000, or 150%, to approximately $5,471,000 for the period ended March 31, 2004, as compared to approximately $2,190,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues cost of services amounted to approximately 83% of related revenues for the period ended March 31, 2004, as compared with approximately 76% for the period ended March 31, 2003. Increased costs of service for the first quarter result primarily from (i) lower freight volume in accordance with historical results and expectations, (ii) rental equipment costs and repair costs, related to the short term needs to integrate our time scheduled operations and expedited operating requirements, and (iii) a significant increase in depreciation and amortization related to the recent acquisitions, which should reduce as we integrate equipment plans with operational consolidation. The Company anticipates costs returning to historical levels during the second, third and fourth quarters as we complete the integration of acquired companies, in addition to additional freight volume in our current network.

General and administrative expense increased by approximately $1,200,000 or 239% to approximately $1,703,000 as compared to approximately $503,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003. The increase of general and administrative expenses resulted primarily to (i) expansion of technology, equipment, personnel and infrastructure for increased sales and anticipated increases in the second and third quarter, (ii) expansion of facilities in several cities to allow us to meet significant opportunities, (iii) expenses directly related to integration of acquisitions, (iv) additional sales, marketing and branding efforts to introduce our expanded locations, service offerings and brands to our new and expanding client base and (v) expenses related to prospective acquisitions. The Company had anticipated these increases in general and administrative costs in connection with acquisitions and internally generated growth and believes it will be able to reduce expenses to historical percentage levels as acquisitions are completed, integrated and synergies are capitalized upon.

 

The Company realized a loss from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes of approximately $624,000 for the period ended March 31, 2004, compared with income from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes of approximately $184,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003.

 

The income tax benefit was approximately $220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a provision of $53,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Differences between the effective tax rate used for 2004 and 2003, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, are primarily due to permanent differences and adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

 

Basic loss per share from continuing operations for the period ended March 31, 2004 was $.02, compared with basic earnings of $.02 for the period ended March 31, 2003. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations for the period ended March 31, 2004 was $.02, compared with diluted earnings per share of $.02 for the period ended March 31, 2003.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Principals of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Operating Revenues

 

Operating revenues for transportation services are recognized on the date the freight is delivered. Related costs of delivery of shipments in transit are accrued as incurred. Revenues from warehousing and other services are recognized as the services are performed.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company extends credit to its various customers based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and ability to pay the Company in accordance with the payment terms. The Company provides for estimated losses on accounts receivable considering a number of factors, including the overall aging of accounts receivables, customers payment history and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation. Based on managements’ review of accounts receivable and other receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1,054,000 as of March 31, 2004 is deemed adequate. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates

 

12


Table of Contents

and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses, valuation of investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Contingent Liabilities

 

The Company is party to a number of legal actions, which are not material to operations pursuant to Item 301 of Regulation S-B.

 

EBITDA

 

EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was approximately $(314,000) compared to approximately $216,000 in the comparable period of the prior year. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization costs. The Company also excludes the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, discontinued operations, and the impact of restructuring and other charges from the computation. The Company believes EBITDA is a useful measure of operating performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, making comparisons between companies’ earnings power more meaningful and providing consistent comparisons of the Company’s performance. In order to provide consistent comparisons of year-over-year EBITDA, the following reconciliation is provided.

USE OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP MEASURES

 

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included in this report earnings “EBITDA” with EBITDA being defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, discontinued operations, and the impact of restructuring and other charges from the computation of EBITDA. For each non-GAAP financial measure, the Company has presented the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure and has reconciled the non-GAAP financial measure with such comparable GAAP financial measure.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors to assist in understanding the underlying operational performance of the Company. Specifically, EBITDA is useful measures of

operating performance before the impact of investing and financing transactions, making comparisons between companies’ earnings power more meaningful and providing consistent period-over-period comparisons of the Company’s performance. In addition, the Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally to measure its on-going business performance and in reports to bankers to permit monitoring of the Company’s ability to pay outstanding liabilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2004 the Company has approximately $5,000,000 of working capital and has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,553,000, compared with a cash overdraft at March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily a result of the Company’s capital transaction during the year ended December 31, 2003 and the three months ended March 31, 2004.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company received approximately $1,737,500 in gross proceeds from a private placement offering of the Company’s stock that was made in accordance with exemption under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, in which the Company sold approximately 400,000 units to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per unit, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and two investor exercised purchase rights under the terms of options issued in connection with this placement, buying 625,000 shares for $1.50 per share.

 

In March 2002, the Company issued 350,000 warrants to purchase common stock in the Company for between $1.01 and $1.15 in connection with a term note that has been repaid. In February of 2004 the company received approximately $367,500 related to these warrants being exercised.

 

The Company incurred offering costs of approximately $170,000 during the period ended March 31, 2004.

 

In January of 2004, the Company entered into a term credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services (MLBFS) with a stated credit limit of $1.75 million. This facility is a revolving facility that provides for advance against the Company’s eligible accounts receivable balances. The facility bears interest at London InterBank Over the Counter Rate (LIBOR) plus 275 basis points. The LIBOR rate at the closing of the facility was 1.09. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had $1,100,000 available under this credit facility.

 

The Company may receive proceeds in the future from the exercise of warrants and options outstanding as of March 31, 2004 in accordance with the following schedule:

$1.75 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and two tenths of a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for an exercise price of $2.20 per share. The Company incurred offering costs of approximately $1,100,000.

 

The Company has embarked on upgrades to technology and support infrastructure that it believes will enhance cash flows by providing customers and customer service representatives with access to delivery information and documentation that will enable efficient collections of accounts receivable from customers. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms favorable to the Company or successfully implement infrastructure upgrades pursuant to our plans.

 

Our strategy is to continue to expand through acquisitions and internal development. We intend to seek, on a selective basis, acquisition of businesses that have product lines or services which complement and expand our existing services and product lines, and provide us with strategic distribution locations or attractive customer bases. Our ability to implement our growth will depend on a number of things, which may be beyond our control. Successful deployment of this strategy will be dependent on our ability to identify, consummate and assimilate such acquisitions on desirable economic terms. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. Our ability to implement our growth strategy will also be dependent upon obtaining adequate financing. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms.

 

Item 3. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
