NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
Gordon Trucking, Inc. is a Washington corporation providing truckload transportation services to customers throughout the United States and Canada. Air GTI, LLC provides air transportation support to Gordon Trucking, Inc. (GTI), which is its sole member. The Company holds a variable interest in six related entities, described below, which lease real estate and equipment to Gordon Trucking, Inc. and have been consolidated under generally accepted accounting principles. The entities are referred to collectively as the Company.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Dollars are presented in thousands in the accompanying notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements except for per share amounts.
Variable-Interest Entities
Annually, GTI does an evaluation of all existing relationships to identify situations where GTI has a “variable interest” in a “variable-interest entity” and to determine which of these variable-interest entities must be consolidated with GTI’s financial results. As a part of this annual assessment, management reviews the nature of the variable interest relationship and whether there have been any significant changes over the past year that result in a change to the original assessment. During the annual assessment, management considers the nature of any lending relationships, as well as the risk profile, including any significant changes of the variable interest. Management concluded, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, that there were no changes to previous conclusions regarding these variable interests. The variable interests identified have been due to debt and debt guarantees provided by GTI; therefore, there are no significant judgments or assumptions used during this evaluation. For 2013 and 2012, GTI held a variable interest in six related entities: Cal S&S, LLC; S&S Wisconsin, LLC; S&S Illinois, LLC; Gordon Richardson, LLC; S&S Idaho, LLC; and S&S Indy, LLC.
These entities are consolidated into GTI’s results as of the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 as outlined above. These entities generated rental income totaling approximately $2,763 and $2,423 for nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, all of which has been eliminated in consolidation. The consolidation of these entities represents $22,504 and $22,278 of the Company’s total assets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and $15,876 and $16,473 of the Company’s total liabilities as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gordon Trucking, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, Air GTI, LLC and its variable-interest entities. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes transportation revenue based on the transit time in each reporting period. Revenue is reported gross. Expenses are recognized as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received.
Notes Receivable - Related Party
Notes receivable are stated at the amount of unpaid principal. Interest income is recognized over the contractual term of the note.
Operating Supplies and Parts
The Company values its operating supplies and parts generally at the lower of average cost or market.
Federal Income Taxes
The stockholders of Gordon Trucking, Inc. have elected to file federal income taxes using S corporation status. Under tax regulations for S corporations, Gordon Trucking, Inc. elects to have net income or losses reported on the tax returns of the individual stockholders. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes.
Air GTI, LLC; Cal S&S, LLC; S&S Wisconsin, LLC; S&S Illinois, LLC; S&S Idaho, LLC; and S&S Indy, LLC are all single-member LLCs. As such, all are disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Their activities are reported with the tax filing of their respective members. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes.
Gordon Richardson, LLC is not a tax paying entity for federal or state income tax purposes. Its activity will be reported with the tax filing of its members. Accordingly, there is no provision for income taxes.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2010.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Using management’s best estimates, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or lease term.
Revenue equipment | 5-10 years |
Other vehicles and other equipment | 3-10 years |
Leasehold improvements | 5-30 years |

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012
Note 1 - Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Company records the gain or loss resulting from disposal of equipment through a sale or as a result of involuntary conversion.
Financial Instruments
The Company’s short-term financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, and letters of credit. Management believes that the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value based on the short-term nature and expected realization of such accounts. The Company’s long-term financial instruments include long-term borrowings. Management has estimated that the fair value of the long-term borrowings approximates their carrying value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities at September 30, 2013.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Certain Business Risks
The Company is subject to certain business risks that could affect future operations and financial performance. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, transportation services were provided to two significant customers, which accounted for 21 percent of freight revenue and 20 percent of total accounts receivable at September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, transportation services were provided to two significant customers, which accounted for 22 percent of freight revenue. As of December 31, 2012, two customers accounted for 20 percent of total accounts receivable.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates include uninsured losses, depreciation and allowance for accounts receivable.
Stockholders’ Equity
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company did a 10-for-1 stock split, resulting in adjusted common stock authorized of 500,000 shares, with a par value of $0.10. Upon completion of the stock split, the Company converted 450,000 shares of common stock into Class B shares. The remaining 50,000 shares are now considered Class A shares. At December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013, there are 45,300 Class A shares issued and outstanding and there are 407,700 shares of Class B stock issued and outstanding. All shares have a par value of $0.10. Class A shares have voting rights while Class B shares do not. Both classes of stock are eligible for distributions, if any should occur.
