ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Background

Target Logistics, Inc. (“we” or “the Company”) provides freight forwarding services and logistics services, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Target Logistic Services, Inc. (“Target”). Our principal executive office is located at 500 Harborview Drive, Third Floor, Baltimore, Maryland 21230, and our telephone number is 410-332-1598. Information about us may be obtained from our website www.targetlogistics.com. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, are available free of charge on the website as soon as they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) through a link to the SEC’s EDGAR reporting system. Simply select the “Investors” menu item, then click on the “SEC Filings” link. The SEC’s EDGAR reporting system can also be accessed directly at www.sec.gov. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in January 1996 as the successor to operations commenced in 1970.

Description of Business

All of our services are provided through our Target subsidiary and its network of offices in 33 cities throughout the United States, including exclusive agency relationships in 20 cities. Our freight forwarding services involve arranging for the total transport of customers’ freight from the shipper’s location to the designated recipients, including the preparation of shipping documents and the providing of handling, packing and containerization services. We concentrate on cargo shipments weighing more than 50 pounds requiring time definite delivery, and our average shipment weighs approximately 1,100 pounds. We also assemble bulk cargo and arrange for insurance. We also have international freight forwarding operations with a worldwide agent network providing coverage in over 70 countries. We have developed several niches in our industry, including fashion services, consumer direct logistics of oversized freight, the distribution of materials for the entertainment industry, and an expertise in material supply logistics to manufacturing concerns.

Operations

Movement of Freight. We do not own any airplanes or significant trucking equipment and we rely on independent contractors for the movement of our cargo. We utilize our expertise to provide forwarding services that are tailored to meet customer requirements. We arrange for transportation of customers’ shipments via commercial airlines, air cargo carriers, steamship lines, and, if delivery schedules permit, we make use of lower cost inter-city truck transportation services. We select the carrier for particular shipments on the basis of cost, delivery time and available cargo capacity. Through our advanced data processing system, we can provide, at no additional cost to the customer, value-added services such as electronic data interchange, computer based shipping and tracking systems and customized computer generated reports. Additionally, we provide cargo assembly and warehousing services.

The rates we charge our customers are based on destination, shipment weight and required delivery time. We offer graduated discounts for shipments with later scheduled delivery times and rates generally decrease in inverse proportion to the increasing weight of shipments. Due to the high volume of freight in our system, we are able to obtain favorable contract rates from carriers and we are often able to book freight space at times when available space is limited. When possible, we consolidate different customers’ shipments to reduce the customers’ cost of transportation.

Information Systems. An important component of our business strategy is to provide accurate and timely information to our management and customers. Accordingly, we have invested, and will continue to invest, substantial management and financial resources in developing these information systems.

We lease two HP 9000 mainframe computers and have a proprietary freight forwarding software system which we have named “TRACS”. TRACS is an integrated freight forwarding and financial management data processing system. It provides us with the information needed to manage our sourcing and distribution activities through either printed or electronic medium. Specifically, the TRACS system permits us to track the flow of a particular shipment from the point of origin through the transportation process to the point of delivery. We intend to continuously upgrade TRACS to enhance its ability to maintain a competitive advantage.

International Operations. Our international operations consist of air and ocean freight movements imported to and exported from our Target subsidiary’s network of offices in the United States. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, our international freight forwarding accounted for 29.7% of our operating revenue.

Customers and Marketing

Our principal customers include large manufacturers and distributors of computers and other electronic and high-technology equipment, computer software and wearing apparel. As of June 30, 2004, we had approximately 2,860 accounts.

We market our services through an organization of approximately 34 full-time salespersons and 40 independent sales agents supported by the sales efforts of senior management, and the operations staff in our Target subsidiary’s offices. We strongly promote team selling, wherein the salesperson is able to utilize expertise from other departments in the Company to provide value-added services to gain a specific account. We staff each office with operational employees to provide support for the sales team, develop frequent contact with the customer’s traffic department, and maintain customer service. We believe that it is important to maintain frequent contact with our customers to assure satisfaction and to immediately react to resolve any problem as quickly as possible.

We have and continue to develop expertise in several niches: fashion and entertainment and media. Our fashion services division targets chain retail and department store customers and provides specific expertise in handling fashion-related shipments. The fashion services division specializes in the movement of wearing apparel from manufacturing vendors to their department store customers located throughout the United States. Our Entertainment Media Logistics (EML) service provides logistic solutions to the film, entertainment and broadcast industries.

Many of our customers utilize more than one transportation provider. In soliciting new accounts, we use a strategy of becoming an approved carrier in order to demonstrate the quality and cost-effectiveness of our services. Using this approach, we have advanced our relationships with several of our major customers, from serving as a back-up freight services provider to primary freight forwarder.

Competition

Although there are no weight restrictions on our shipments, we focus primarily on cargo shipments weighing more than 50 pounds and requiring second-day delivery. As a result, we do not directly compete for most of our business with overnight couriers and integrated shippers of principally small parcels, such as United Parcel Service of America, Inc., Federal Express Corporation, DHL Worldwide Express, Inc., Airborne Freight Corporation and the United States Postal Service. However, some integrated carriers, such as Menlo Worldwide and Pittston BAX Group, Inc., primarily solicit the shipment of heavy cargo in competition with forwarders. Additionally, there is a developing trend among integrated shippers of primarily small parcels to solicit the shipment of heavy cargo.

There is intense competition within the freight forwarding industry. While the industry is highly fragmented, we most often compete with a relatively small number of forwarders who have nationwide networks and the capability to provide a full range of services similar to those we offer. These include EGL, Inc., Pilot Air Freight, Inc., SEKO Worldwide and Stonepath Group, Inc. There is also competition from passenger and cargo air carriers and trucking companies. On the international side of the business, we compete with forwarders that have a predominantly international focus, such as Exel plc, DHL and Kuehne Nagal International. All of these companies, as well as many other competitors, have substantially greater facilities, resources and financial capabilities than we have. We also face competition from regional and local air freight forwarders, cargo sales agents and brokers, surface freight forwarders and carriers and associations of shippers organized for the purpose of consolidating their members’ shipments to obtain lower freight rates from carriers.

Employees

We and our Target subsidiary had approximately 224 full-time employees as of June 30, 2004. 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.

Regulation

Our freight forwarding business as an indirect air cargo carrier is subject to regulation by the United States Department of Transportation under the Federal Aviation Act. However, air freight forwarders (including Target) are exempted from most of that Act’s requirements by the Economic Aviation Regulations promulgated thereunder, but must adhere to certain rules, such as security requirements. Our foreign 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.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

As of June 30, 2004, Target leased terminal facilities consisting of office and warehouse space in 13 cities located in the United States, and also utilized 20 offices operated by exclusive agents. These leased facilities range in size from approximately 1,000 square feet to approximately 100,000 square feet and consist of offices and warehouses with loading bays. All of these properties are leased from third parties. Our executive offices are located in Baltimore, Maryland. Target’s headquarters are located within the terminal facility in Los Angeles, California, and consists of approximately 100,000 square feet of floor space leased pursuant to the terms of a lease which expires in July 2005. Management believes that our current facilities are more than sufficient for our planned growth.

We have an additional 12 terminal facilities in the following locations:

 
Atlanta, Georgia
 
Houston, Texas
 
Charlotte, North Carolina
 
Memphis, Tennessee
 
Chicago, Illinois
 
Miami, Florida
 
Columbus, Ohio
 
Newark, New Jersey
 
Dallas, Texas
 
New York, New York
 
Greensboro, North Carolina
 
Seattle, Washington

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, our Target subsidiary is involved in legal matters or named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal operations, or is presented with claims for damages arising out of its actions. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Class F Preferred Stock. On April 23, 2004, the Company issued 122,946 shares of Class F, voting, cumulative, convertible preferred stock with a par value of $10.00 in exchange for 122,946 Class A preferred shares, in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).

Each share of Class F Preferred Stock has a par or stated value of $10.00 per share. Holders of Class F Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds, dividends at an annual rate of $1.00 per share, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31 of each year, in cash or in shares of Class F Preferred Stock at the rate of $10.00 per share. Dividends accrue and are cumulative from the most recent date to which dividends have been paid. The Class F Preferred Stock has priority as to dividends over the Common Stock and all other series or classes of the Company’s stock that rank junior to the Class F Preferred Stock (“Junior Dividend Stock”). No dividend (other than dividends payable solely in Common Stock, Junior Dividend Stock or warrants or other rights to acquire Common Stock or Junior Dividend Stock) may be paid or set apart for payment on, and no purchase, redemption or other acquisition may be made by the Company of, the Common Stock or Junior Dividend Stock unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Class F Preferred Stock, including the full dividend for the then-current semi-annual dividend period, has been paid. In a case of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of shares of Class F Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to stockholders an amount in cash equal to $10.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, to the payment date, before any payment or distribution is made to the holders of Common Stock or any other series or class of stock that ranks junior as to liquidation rights to the Class F Preferred Stock. The holders of Class F Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters presented to the holders of the Common Stock for vote. In exercising such voting rights, each outstanding share of Class F Preferred Stock is entitled to the number of votes which is equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class F Preferred Stock is convertible. Each holder of Class F Preferred Stock has the right, at the holder’s option, to convert any or all shares into shares of fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock, at the conversion rate of one share of Class F Preferred Stock for 25 shares of Common Stock. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any share dividend or split, recapitalization or other similar corporate change, the conversion rate shall be accordingly adjusted. The right of such conversion may be exercised at the option of the holder of shares of Class F Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time. The Company has agreed to register for resale under the Securities Act any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of the Class F Preferred Stock.

Sales of Common Stock. On April 23, 2004, the Company privately placed 3,448,276 shares of Common Stock for $2,000,000 to a group of investors headed by Kinderhook Partners, LP., and on April 30, 2004, the Company privately placed 200,000 shares of Common Stock for $120,000 to Benchmark Consulting, Inc. These securities were sold in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and regulation D promulgated thereunder. The proceeds from these sales were used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and reflect our current expectations with respect to our operations, performance, financial condition, and other developments. Such statements are necessarily estimates reflecting our best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and readers are advised that various factors could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, they include (i) our ability to increase operating revenue, improve gross profit margins and reduce selling, general and administrative costs, (ii) competitive practices in the industries in which we compete, (iii) our dependence on current management, (iv) the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulations affecting the transportation industry in general and our operations in particular, (v) general economic conditions, and (vi) other factors which may be identified from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings and other public announcements. We do not undertake and specifically disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Overview

We generated operating revenues of $126.1 million, $113.4 million, and $93.5 million, and had a net profit of $0.5 million, a net profit of $0.8 million, and a net loss of $0.9 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Net income for the year ended June 30, 2003 includes $1,447,699 in non-recurring reversals of accruals for expenses, accruals for contingencies and accruals for accounts payable of previously closed and sold subsidiaries


 
  9  

 

We had earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of approximately $1,760,276, $2,114,530, and $340,000, for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, 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 current 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, and all amortization charges, including amortization of goodwill, leasehold improvements and other intangible assets. While management considers EBITDA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the revenue of our Target subsidiary increased by 11.2% when compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003. Target’s gross profit margin (i.e., gross operating revenue less cost of transportation expressed as a percentage of gross operating revenue) decreased to 32.7% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 from 33.2% for the prior fiscal year. This decrease is primarily due to increased international air import freight volume which historically reflects a lower gross profit margin as a percentage of sales. Management continues to believe that we must focus on increasing revenues and must increase gross profit margin to maintain profitability. Management intends to continue to work on growing revenue by increasing sales generated by our employed sales personnel, sales generated by exclusive forwarders, and by strategic acquisitions. Management also intends to continue to work on improving Target’s gross profit margins by reducing transportation costs.

Our results for the year ended June 30, 2003 have been impacted by SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (see Note 3). Under this statement, from and after July 1, 2002, we may no longer amortize goodwill, including the goodwill included in the carrying value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting, and certain other intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite useful life. Therefore, the results for the year ended June 30, 2003 are not comparable to the results for the year ended June 30, 2002. In order to make the operating results for the year ended June 30, 2002 more comparable to the presentation of the operating results for the year ended June 30, 2003 and make an analysis of 2003 and 2002 more meaningful, the following discussion is based on financial information for the year ended June 30, 2002 prepared on a pro forma basis as if SFAS No. 142 had been applied for that period. Please refer to the Consolidated Statements of Operations contained in this Annual Report for a reconciliation of the differences between the GAAP and pro forma presentations of this information.

Results of Operations

Years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue increased to $126.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $113.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2003, a 11.2% increase. Domestic revenue increased by 6.0% to $88,621,984 for the year ended June 30, 2004 from $83,610,134 for the prior fiscal year, due to the movement of larger size shipments, partially offset by the elimination of our Target subsidiary’s consumer direct logistics operation at the end of last fiscal year. In addition, international revenue increased by 25.9% to $37,467,077 for the 2004 fiscal year from $29,771,065 for the 2003 fiscal year, mainly due to increased international air import freight volume.

Cost of Transportation. Cost of transportation increased to 67.3% of operating revenue for the year ended June 30, 2004 from 66.8% of operating revenue for the 2003 fiscal year. This increase was primarily due to increased international air import freight volume which historically reflects a higher cost of transportation as a percentage of sales.

Gross Profit. As a result of the factors described above, gross profit for the 2004 fiscal year decreased to 32.7% from 33.2% of operating revenue for the 2003 fiscal year, a 1.5% decrease.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 31.6% of operating revenue for the year ended June 30, 2004 from 33.0% of operating revenue for the 2003 fiscal year. Within our Target subsidiary, selling, general and administration expenses (excluding exclusive forwarder commission expense) were 16.7% of operating revenue for the 2004 fiscal year and 17.3% for the 2003 fiscal year, a 3.5% decrease. Exclusive forwarder commission expense was 14.0% and 14.6% of operating revenue for the 2004 and 2003 fiscal years, respectively.

Other Income. Other income of $1,447,699 for the year ended June 30, 2003 is the result of a non-recurring reversal of accruals for expenses, accruals for contingencies, and accounts payable of previously closed and sold subsidiaries.

Net Profit. For the year ended June 30, 2004, we realized a net profit of $540,142, compared to a net profit of $839,500 for the year ended June 30, 2003.

Years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue increased to $113.4 million for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $93.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2002, a 21.3% increase. Domestic revenue increased by 20.0% to $83,610,134 for the year ended June 30, 2003 from $69,652,711 for the prior fiscal year, due to increased domestic freight volume. In addition, international revenue increased by 24.9% to $29,771,065 for the 2003 fiscal year from $23,831,028 for the 2002 fiscal year, mainly due to increased international air import and export freight volume.

Cost of Transportation. Cost of transportation decreased to 66.8% of operating revenue for the year ended June 30, 2003 from 67.6% of operating revenue for the prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily due to a lower cost of transportation, as a percentage of sales, on domestic freight movements.

Gross Profit. As a result of the factors described above, gross profit for the year ended June 30, 2003 increased to 33.2% from 32.4% of operating revenue for the 2002 fiscal year, a 2.5% increase. This increase is primarily due to increases in domestic gross profit margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 33.0% of operating revenue for the year ended June 30, 2003 from 32.5% of operating revenue for the pro forma year ended June 30, 2002. Within our Target subsidiary, selling, general and administration expenses (excluding exclusive forwarder commission expense) were 17.3% of operating revenue for the 2003 fiscal year and 16.7% for the 2002 fiscal year, a 3.6% increase. This increase was primarily due to expenses incurred at Target’s new Columbus, Ohio terminal (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Asset Purchase Acquisitions”, below). Exclusive forwarder commission expense was 14.6% of operating revenue for each of the years ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Other Income. Other income of $1,447,699 for the year ended June 30, 2003 is the result of a non-recurring reversal of accruals for expenses, accruals for contingencies, and accounts payable of previously closed and sold subsidiaries.

Net Profit. For the year ended June 30, 2003, we realized a net profit of $839,500, compared to a net loss of ($338,659) for the pro forma year ended June 30, 2002.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. During the 2004 fiscal year, net cash provided by operating activities was $192,719. Cash used in investing activities was $135,569 representing capital expenditures. Cash provided by financing activities was $1,840,683, which primarily consisted of the issuance, on April 23, 2004, of 3,448,276 shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon completion of a $2,000,000 private placement of equity securities.

Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the 2004 fiscal year were $135,569.

GMAC Facility. On May 3, 2004, the Company’s Target subsidiary amended its $10 million revolving credit facility (“GMAC Facility”) with GMAC Commercial Finance LLC (“GMAC”), guaranteed by the Company, for a three-year term ending March 31, 2007. Under the new terms of the GMAC Facility, Target can borrow (i) the lesser of $13 million or 85% of eligible accounts receivable for the period beginning May 3, 2004 through March 31, 2005, and (ii) the lesser of $15 million or 85% of eligible accounts receivable for the period beginning April 1, 2005 through March 31, 2007. The interest rate of the amended facility, which can be adjusted quarterly, is either (i) prime plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%), or (ii) upon the achievement of certain financial milestones (measured quarterly,), prime plus one-half of one percent (0.50%). Prior to the May 3, 2004 amendment, the interest rate of the GMAC Facility was prime plus 1%, however, at any time prior to September 20, 2002, the interest rate could not be less than 6.0%, and from September 20, 2002 through May 2, 2004 could not be less than 5.0%. The borrowings under the GMAC Facility are secured by a first lien on all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. As of June 30, 2004, there were outstanding borrowings of $7,572,116 under the GMAC Facility (which represented 60.0% of the amount available thereunder) out of a total amount available for borrowing under the GMAC Facility of approximately $12,723,945. We entered into the GMAC Facility on January 16, 1997, and subsequently extended the facility for an additional three-year term and on September 20, 2002 for an additional two-year term. On May 3, 2004, the GMAC Facility was extended for an additional three-year term ending March 31, 2007.

Asset Purchase Acquisitions. On November 30, 2001, February 11, 2002, and October 13, 2002, our Target subsidiary acquired the assets and certain liabilities of SDS Logistics, a Newark, New Jersey based forwarder, Air America Freight Service, Inc., an Atlanta, Georgia based forwarder, and Cassady Air Transportation, Inc., a Columbus, Ohio based forwarder, respectively, in each instance for a combination of an initial cash payment and an earn out structure over five years. The earn-out structures are strictly dependent on future profits achieved at the location acquired, and we have no minimum commitment or obligation. We do not expect that the earn-out payments will have a material impact on our liquidity.
 
Working Capital Requirements. The Company’s and Target’s cash needs are currently met by the accounts receivable financing facility and cash on hand. As of June 30, 2004, we had $5,151,829 available under our $13 million accounts receivable financing facility and approximately $5,896,878 in cash from operations and cash on hand. We believe that our current financial resources will be sufficient to finance our operations and obligations (current and long-term liabilities) for the long and short terms. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short terms will depend upon numerous factors, including our operating results, the cost of increasing the Company’s sales and marketing activities, and, competition, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Inflation

We do not believe that the relatively moderate rates of inflation in the United States in recent years have had a significant effect on our operations. 

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Contractual Obligations and Commitments. The following table presents, as of June 30, 2004, our significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations to third parties by payment date. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, starting on page F-7. As discussed there, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Since future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources, primarily allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for transportation and other direct costs, accruals for cargo insurance, and the classification of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards between current and long-term assets. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We reevaluate these significant factors as facts and circumstances change. Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from our estimates.

During our fiscal years ended June 30, 1997 through 2001, we included reserves for accrued expenses, accounts payable and contingencies relating to our subsidiaries that were either closed or sold. Following discussions with our Audit Committee, independent auditors and Company counsel, we determined that those reserves were no longer necessary. As a result, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, we recognized $1,447,699 of other income. Had we not made the adjustment during the 2003 fiscal year, we would have reported a net loss before taxes of $103,790 for the 2003 fiscal year.

Our balance sheet includes an asset in the amount of $11,239,917 for purchased goodwill. In accordance with accounting pronouncements, the amount of this asset must be reviewed annually for impairment, written down and charged to results of operations in the period(s) in which the recorded value of goodwill is more than its fair value. We obtained an independent valuation analysis completed in January 2004, and based on the valuations, we determined that the goodwill was not impaired. Had the determination been made that the goodwill asset was impaired, the value of this asset would have been reduced by an amount ranging from zero to $11,239,917, and our financial statements would reflect the reduction. For additional description, please refer to Note 2 to our Notes to the audited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Annual Report.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Interpretation 46 changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. During October 2003, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FIN 46 deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 31, 2003, if the variable interest was created prior to February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting such variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46. On December 24, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN-46R), primarily to clarify the required accounting for interests in variable interest entities. FIN-46R replaces FIN-46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, that was issued in January 2003. FIN-46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN-46 as of December 24, 2003. In certain situations, entities have the option of applying or continuing to apply FIN-46 for a short period of time before applying FIN-46R. While FIN-46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN-46, it also incorporates many FASB Staff Positions previously issued by the FASB. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.
 
In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ” and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. This Statement amends Statement 133 for decisions made (i) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to Statement 133, (ii) in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments, and (3) in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, in particular, the meaning of an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors, the meaning of underlying, and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements.


 
  13  

 

In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements”. The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with FASB’s proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. While FASB still plans to revise that definition through an amendment to Concepts Statement 6, FASB decided to defer issuing that amendment until it has concluded its deliberations on the next phase of this project. That next phase will deal with certain compound financial instruments including puttable shares, convertible bonds, and dual-indexed financial instruments. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” which replaces the previously issued Statement. The revised Statement increases the existing disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. However, it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans as required under SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions ,” SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” Specifically, the revised Statement requires companies to provide additional disclosures about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, and benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Also, companies are required to provide a breakdown of plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and target allocation percentages for these asset categories. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
 
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the “FAQ”) issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 did not impact the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved the consensus reached on the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. The accounting provisions of EITF 03-1 are effective for all reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements are effective only for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1 and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.
 
ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our principal financial instrument is long-term debt under the GMAC Facility which provides for an interest rate, that can be adjusted quarterly, of either (i) prime plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%), or (ii) upon the achievement of certain financial milestones (measured quarterly), prime plus one-half of one percent (0.50%). We are affected by market risk exposure primarily through the effect of changes in interest rates on amounts payable under the GMAC Facility. A significant rise in the prime rate could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. At June 30, 2004, an aggregate principal amount of $7,572,116 was outstanding under the GMAC Facility bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.0%. If principal amounts outstanding under the GMAC Credit Facility remained at this year-end level for an entire year and the prime rate increased or decreased, respectively, by 0.5%, we would pay or save, respectively, an additional $37,861 in interest in that year. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge against changes in interest rates or for any other purpose.

REPORT OF REGISTERED INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


The Board of Directors
Target Logistics, Inc.
Baltimore, Maryland

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Target Logistics, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity 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 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Target Logistics, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of financial statements is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies of the Company, as summarized below, are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Target, and other inactive subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In the process of preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Company estimates the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The primary estimates underlying the Company’s consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for transportation and other direct costs, accruals for cargo insurance, and the classification of NOL and tax credit carryforwards between current and long-term assets.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed under the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 8 years. Assets under capital leases are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term. The Company utilizes a half-year convention for assets in the year of acquisition and disposal. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the asset life of the asset or the remaining lease term.

Accounting for Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.” This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may be not be recoverable and is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. SFAS No. 144 requires companies to separately report discontinued operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sales, abandonment or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale. Assets to be disclosed are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on July 1, 2002. Management has performed a review of all long-lived assets and has determined that no impairment of the respective carrying value has occurred as of June 30, 2004.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of cost over net assets acquired and was amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which requires the use of a non-amortization approach to account for purchased goodwill and certain intangibles. The Company adopted this statement on July 1, 2002. Under the non-amortization approach, goodwill and certain intangibles are not amortized into results of operations, but instead are reviewed for impairment, written down and charged to results of operations only in periods in which the recorded value of goodwill and certain intangibles is more than its fair value. The Company obtained an independent valuation analysis completed in January 2004, and based on the valuation, the Company determined that the goodwill was not impaired. The Company amortized approximately $596,000 of goodwill for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002.

The independent valuation analysis is dependent on a discounted seven-year cash flow analysis.

The discounted cash flow analysis is dependent on the Company’s Target Logistic Services, Inc. (“Target”) subsidiary achieving certain future results. These include the following major assumptions: (a) Revenue growth of 4.5% for fiscal 2004, 7.5% for fiscal 2005 thru 2006 and 4.5% for fiscal 2007 thru 2010; (b) Gross Profit percentage increasing from 33.9% in fiscal 2004 to 34.1% in fiscal 2005, to 34.3% in fiscal 2006, and to 34.5% in fiscal 2007 and thereafter; (c) Operating expenses (excluding forwarder commissions) reducing from 17.2% in fiscal 2004 and 2005, to 17.1% in fiscal 2006, 2007 and 2008, and to 17.0% in fiscal 2009 and 2010; and (d) a 16.00% discount rate. While management believes that these are achievable, any downward variation in these major assumptions or in any other portion of the discounted cash flow analysis could negatively impact the overall valuation analysis.

The Company performs an annual valuation analysis. Based on the results of these annual valuation analyses, the Company’s financial results could be impacted by impairment of goodwill, which could result in periodic write-downs ranging from zero to $11,239,917.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets or liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that the tax change occurs.

Stock Options

The Company accounts for its employee stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. Compensation expense relating to employee stock options is recorded only if, on the date of grant, the fair value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. The Company adopted the disclosure-only requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ”, and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”, which allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 for transactions with employees and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock options as if the fair value based method of accounting in SFAS No. 123 had been applied to these transactions.

The Company accounts for non-employee stock-based awards in which goods or services are the consideration received for the equity instruments issued based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more readily determinable.

The Company accounts for equity-based awards granted to employees and directors under APB Opinion No. 25 under which no compensation cost has been recognized for stock options granted at market value (Note 3). Had compensation cost for these stock options been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share would have been increased to the following pro forma amounts:

The effects of applying SFAS No. 123 in the pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future amounts as additional awards in future years are anticipated.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with EITF 91-9 “Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process”, revenue from freight forwarding is recognized upon completed delivery of goods, and direct expenses associated with the cost of transportation are accrued concurrently. Ongoing provision is made for doubtful receivables, discounts, returns and allowances. 

The Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net”, as a result of the following: Target 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. The prices charged by Target to its customers are set by Target in its sole discretion and Target is not required to obtain approval or consent from any other party in establishing its prices. Target has multiple suppliers for the services it sells to a customer and Target 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. Target, in most cases, does determine the nature, type, characteristics, and specifications of the service(s) ordered by the customer. Target assumes credit risk for the amount billed to the customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are not held as collateral, and which are purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents.

Per Share Data

Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders less preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities. Diluted loss per share has not been presented for the year ended June 30, 2002 since the inclusion of outstanding convertible preferred stock and stock options would be antidilutive.

The following table summarizes the equivalent number of common shares assuming the related securities that were outstanding as of June 30, 2002 had been converted, but not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share as such shares are antidilutive:

 
June 30, 2002
Convertible preferred stock
9,983,626
Stock Options
576,957
Stock Warrants
   
Antidilutive securities
10,560,583

Options to purchase 95,000, 590,000, and 576,957, shares of common stock for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the exercise prices of those options were greater than the average market price of the common shares, thus they are anti-dilutive. The options were still outstanding at the end of the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash equivalents are reflected at cost which approximate their fair values. The fair value of notes and loans payable outstanding is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered by lenders for similar borrowings with similar credit ratings. The carrying amounts of the accounts receivable and debt approximate their fair value.

Foreign Currency Transactions

In the normal course of business the Company has accounts receivable and accounts payable that are transacted in foreign currencies. The Company accounts for transaction differences in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Number 52, “Foreign Currency Translation”, and accounts for the gains or losses in operations. For all periods presented, these amounts were immaterial to the Company’s operations.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 2002 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 and 2004 presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Interpretation 46 changes the criteria by which one company includes another entity in its consolidated financial statements. Previously, the criteria were based on control through voting interest. Interpretation 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity’s activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. During October 2003, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FIN 46 deferring the effective date for applying the provisions of FIN 46 until the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 31, 2003, if the variable interest was created prior to February 1, 2003 and the public entity has not issued financial statements reporting such variable interest entity in accordance with FIN 46. On December 24, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, (FIN-46R), primarily to clarify the required accounting for interests in variable interest entities. FIN-46R replaces FIN-46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, that was issued in January 2003. FIN-46R exempts certain entities from its requirements and provides for special effective dates for entities that have fully or partially applied FIN-46 as of December 24, 2003. In certain situations, entities have the option of applying or continuing to apply FIN-46 for a short period of time before applying FIN-46R. While FIN-46R modifies or clarifies various provisions of FIN-46, it also incorporates many FASB Staff Positions previously issued by the FASB. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements of the Company.

In April 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ” and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. This Statement amends Statement 133 for decisions made (i) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to Statement 133, (ii) in connection with other FASB projects dealing with financial instruments, and (3) in connection with implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative, in particular, the meaning of an initial net investment that is smaller than would be required for other types of contracts that would be expected to have a similar response to changes in market factors, the meaning of underlying, and the characteristics of a derivative that contains financing components. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity”. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. SFAS 150 requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. Some of the provisions of this Statement are consistent with the current definition of liabilities in FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, “Elements of Financial Statements”. The remaining provisions of this Statement are consistent with FASB’s proposal to revise that definition to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. While FASB still plans to revise that definition through an amendment to Concepts Statement 6, FASB decided to defer issuing that amendment until it has concluded its deliberations on the next phase of this project. That next phase will deal with certain compound financial instruments including puttable shares, convertible bonds, and dual-indexed financial instruments. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the financial statements.

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 132, “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” which replaces the previously issued Statement. The revised Statement increases the existing disclosures for defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. However, it does not change the measurement or recognition of those plans as required under SFAS No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions ,” SFAS No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits,” and SFAS No. 106, “Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.” Specifically, the revised Statement requires companies to provide additional disclosures about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, and benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans. Also, companies are required to provide a breakdown of plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and target allocation percentages for these asset categories. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition.” SAB 104 supersedes SAB 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Additionally, SAB 104 rescinds the SEC’s Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements Frequently Asked Questions and Answers (the “FAQ”) issued with SAB 101 that had been codified in SEC Topic 13, Revenue Recognition. Selected portions of the FAQ have been incorporated into SAB 104. While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104, which was effective upon issuance. The adoption of SAB 104 did not impact the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved the consensus reached on the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." The objective of this Issue is to provide guidance for identifying impaired investments. EITF 03-1 also provides new disclosure requirements for investments that are deemed to be temporarily impaired. The accounting provisions of EITF 03-1 are effective for all reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004, while the disclosure requirements are effective only for annual periods ending after June 15, 2004. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of EITF 03-1 and does not believe the impact will be significant to the Company's overall results of operations or financial position.

3. STOCK OPTION PLAN

In June 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Amertranz Worldwide Holding Corp. 1996 Stock Option Plan (“1996 Plan”), which was subsequently approved by shareholders. The 1996 Plan authorizes the granting of awards, the exercise of which would allow up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be acquired by the holders of said awards. The awards can take the form of incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or nonqualified stock options (“NSOs”) and may be granted to key employees, officers, directors and consultants. Any plan participant who is granted an Incentive Stock Option and possesses more than 10% of the voting rights of the Company’s outstanding common stock must be granted an option price at least 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant and the option must be exercised within five years from the date of grant. Under the 1996 Plan, stock options have been granted to employees and directors for terms of up to 10 years at exercise prices ranging from $.10 to $6.00 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. At June 30, 2004, 437,957 stock options granted to employees and directors were exercisable.

Prior to the adoption of the 1996 Plan, there were 224,399 options granted to purchase common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.048 to $0.408. These options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Asset Exchange Agreement. At each of June 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 6,957 of these options were outstanding and exercisable.

The earn-out structures are strictly dependent on future profits achieved at the location acquired, and the Company has no minimum commitment or obligation. The Company does not expect that the earn-out payments will have a material impact on its overall financial results.

6. OTHER ASSETS

As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s Target subsidiary had long-term other assets of $977,700 and $1,266,772, respectively. The June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 balances include (i) $116,744 and $236,125, respectively, note receivable, net of a $95,422 reserve, due from an overseas agent, (ii) $200,000 and $200,000, respectively, note receivable due from an independent sales organization representing the Company’s Target subsidiary, (iii) $528,878 and $704,120, respectively, remaining amortization associated with asset purchase acquisitions (refer to Note 5), and (iv) $132,078 and $126,527, respectively, of outstanding security deposits.

The $116,744 note receivable is subject to interest at a rate of 7.0% and is for a four-year term. The $200,000 note receivable is subject to interest at the prime rate with principal repayments made once the monthly commission payments earned exceed an established threshold defined in the agreement between Target and the independent sales organization, upon termination of the agreement, or upon the sale of the rights under the agreement to Target.

7. DEBT

As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, long-term and short-term debt consisted of the following:

During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s Target subsidiary (“Borrower”) maintained an Accounts Receivable Management and Security Agreement with GMAC Commercial Credit LLC (“GMAC”) whereby the Borrower can receive advances of up to 85% of the net amounts of eligible accounts receivable outstanding to a maximum of $13,000,000 since May 3, 2004 and $10,000,000 prior to that date. Since May 3, 2004, the credit line (“GMAC Facility”) is subject to interest at a rate of either (i) prime plus three-quarters of one percent (0.75%), or (ii) upon the achievement of certain financial milestones (measured quarterly), prime plus one-half of one percent (0.50%), and prior to May 3, 2004 at a rate of prime plus one percent (1.0%). The prevailing prime rate as defined by GMAC was 4.0% as of June 30, 2004 and 2003. Under the GMAC Facility and prior to May 3, 2004, the interest rate could not be less than 5.0% per annum (and not less than 6.0% prior to September 20, 2002). At June 30, 2004 and 2003, the outstanding balance on the GMAC Facility was $7,572,116 and $7,455,199 which represented 60% and 80% of the approximate $12,723,945 and $9,347,165 available thereunder, respectively. At June 30, 2004, the remaining amount available under the GMAC Facility was approximately $5,151,829. GMAC has a security interest in all present and future accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and other assets of the Borrower and the GMAC Facility is guaranteed by the Company. The GMAC Facility expires on March 31, 2007.

Litigation

On October 12, 2000, Pilot Air Freight Corp. (“Pilot”), a major competitor of Target, sued Target in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 00-CV-5190, with respect to the termination by a former Pilot freight forwarder of its relationship with Pilot and entering into an exclusive forwarder relationship with Target. Pilot alleged, among other things, intentional interference with contract, tortious interference with business relations, violation of section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, violation of Pennsylvania state statutes concerning stored electronic communications, and misappropriation of trade secrets. Pilot sought an amount “in excess of $100,000” in damages, punitive damages, and an injunction against Target requiring it to cease competing in the Hartford, Connecticut market for six months. During subsequent discovery proceedings, Pilot claimed that its damages exceed $3 million. In February, 2003, Target settled all of Pilot’s claims against Target for $50,000.

From time to time, our Target subsidiary is involved in legal matters or named as a defendant in legal actions arising from normal operations, or is presented with claims for damages arising out of its actions. Management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial statements.
