EXPEDITED LOGISTICS AND FREIGHT SERVICES, LLC AND AFFILIATES
 
NOTES TO INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020
 
(1) Summary of operations and significant accounting policies
 
Nature of operations
Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC (the “Company”) provides a variety of logistics services, which include domestic and international freight shipping and forwarding and hazardous material warehousing and distribution. The Company is headquartered in Houston, Texas and has other offices in Texas, Louisiana, Colorado, and Oklahoma.
 
The Company has dedicated agents, those who work in specific areas to assist in logistics, in the following locations: Texas, Louisiana, North Dakota, and Oklahoma.

Basis of presentation
The interim combined financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as codified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in its Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).

Principles of combination
The interim combined financial statements consist of three companies that are affiliated by common control and shared management and are collectively referred to in these interim combined financial statements as the Company. The entities included are Expedited Logistics and Freight Services, LLC, ELFS Management, Inc., and ELFS Brokerage, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Recently adopted accounting standards
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of The Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform by virtue of referencing LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. As a result, the guidance was effective for all reporting entities immediately upon issuance on March 12, 2020 and through December 31, 2022. Both the optional expedients and election can be made after March 12, 2020, but no later than December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 and elected the practical expedients in connection with its modification of its note receivable agreement.

Accounting standards not yet adopted
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2022 and must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into, after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the interim combined financial statements. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02 on the Company’s interim combined financial statements.

Use of estimates
The preparation of interim combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the reporting period.

Areas where accounting estimates are made by management include allowance for doubtful accounts and depreciation and amortization of property and equipment.

NOTES TO INTERIM COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020
 
(1) Summary of operations and significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Use of estimates (continued)
The Company analyzes its estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Under different assumptions or conditions, the actual results could differ, possibly materially from those previously estimated. Many of the conditions impacting these assumptions are outside of the Company’s control.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
For purposes of the interim combined statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other similar short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Concentration of credit risk
The Company primarily invests its excess cash in deposits with various banks, and at times, these deposits may exceed federally insured limits. The Company manages this risk by selecting depository institutions based, in part, upon its review of the financial stability of the institutions and has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
 
Accounts receivable
The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses based on management’s expectations of future losses in relation to the outstanding balance. The Company extends credit based on established terms and limits, and generally, does not require collateral. Accounts are written off at 180 days without continued business unless payment arrangements have been made. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $433,008 and $270,387, respectively.
 
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Additions of new equipment and major renewals and replacements of existing equipment are capitalized. Repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or sold are removed from the appropriate asset and depreciation accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
 
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method applied to the expected useful lives of the various assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the life of the improvement.
 
Income taxes
As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to members in accordance with their respective percentage ownership. Therefore, no provision or liability for federal income taxes has been included in the interim combined financial statements. The Company is however subject to income and margin taxes in various states throughout the country but primarily in Texas.
 
Management evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the current or prior period interim combined 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 or state tax authorities for years before 2017. No authorities have commenced income tax examinations as of November 2, 2021.

(1) Summary of operations and significant accounting policies (continued)
 
Revenue recognition
The Company’s revenue streams are from domestic and international freight services, which includes trucking, air freight, ocean freight, customs clearance and warehousing. In addition to these revenue streams are accessorial revenue to the core services. Accessorial revenue includes, but is not limited to, fuel service charges, wait time fees, hazardous cargo fees, labor charges, handling, cartage, bonding and additional labor charges. Warehousing contracts are treated by the Company as operating lease revenue. The Company recognizes all other revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company records revenue from contracts on a gross basis as a principal in the presentation of revenue and expenses.

Contracts with customers are created using an agreed-upon sales price in fixed rate and cost plus margin contracts. The Company recognizes revenue for trucking, air freight and ocean freight over time as the service is being performed. Accessorial and customs brokerage services are recognized using the point in time method.
 
For purposes of disaggregation, the revenue streams are as follows:

Long-lived assets
The Company’s long-lived assets and other assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company has determined there are no impairment losses for the six month period ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Subsequent events
The Company has evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after June 30, 2021 through November 2, 2021, the date the interim combined financial statements were available to be issued. Other than the event described in note 8, no events have occurred that would have a material effect on the interim combined financial statements.

(7) COVID-19 pandemic
 
The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has impacted and may continue to impact our business operations, including employees, customers, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow for an extended period of time. In particular, we have experienced significant changes in demand among our various customers depending on their industry. Federal and state governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border closures, limitations on public gatherings, work from home, supply chain logistical changes, and closure of nonessential businesses, which measures have adversely impacted our business operations in the fiscal year 2020 and 2021. Although some of the states and foreign markets in which we operate have begun to reopen on a phased basis, the United States and other countries continue to struggle with rolling outbreaks of the virus.
 
The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve as of the date of this filing. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce.
