REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Tradition Transportation Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries Angola, Indiana

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tradition Transportation Group, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the changes in their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are available to be issued.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS (Continued)

 

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgement made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

·Exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
   
·Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
   
·Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
   
·Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
   
·Conclude whether, in our judgement, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

Report on Supplementary Information

 

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The supplementary information included on pages 18 through 19 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, such information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS (Continued)

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation and Business

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tradition Transportation Group, Inc. (Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Tradition Transportation Company, LLC (Trucking), Tradition Leasing Systems, LLC (Leasing), Tradition Logistics LLC (Logistics), and Freedom Freight Solutions LLC (Freight), collectively referred to as the "Company". All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Corporation was formed as a holding company and provides management services for the subsidiaries.

 

Trucking specializes in the transportation of freight, both local and long-haul.

 

Leasing acquires commercial over-the-road tractors, enters into lease agreements with owner- operators, and to liquidate through the sale and auction of excess tractor inventory.

 

Logistics provides time-sensitive warehousing, logistics, and freight management on a national and international basis.

 

Freight specializes in freight brokering services provided to third parties.

 

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are summarized below:

 

Estimates

 

The 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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Contract Receivables

 

Contract receivables consist of amounts billed to customers in exchange for services provided. Delinquent receivables are written off based on credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the customer. Contract receivables opening balance as of January 1, 2020 was $3,299,161.

 

The Company evaluates its contract receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, based on an evaluation of historical losses, current economic conditions, and other factors unique to the Company’s customer base. Management has determined that an allowance for doubtful accounts of $85,803 and $21,800 was necessary at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated to residual values over their estimated useful service lives using the straight-line method. Major repairs to property and equipment are capitalized while minor repairs are expensed as incurred. The ranges of estimated useful lives are as follows:

 

Description   Ranges of Useful Lives
     
Tractors, trailers, and vehicles   5 to 6 years
Warehouse equipment   5 to 7 years
Office furniture, equipment, and software   3 to 7 years

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Impairment is present when the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the assets is less than carrying value. If impairment is present, the carrying value of the impaired asset is reduced to its fair value. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no impairment loss recognized for long-lived assets.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company amortizes goodwill over 10 years and tests goodwill for impairment at the entity level, if any impairment test is required. The Company has determined that no triggering event has occurred in 2021 or 2020 that requires goodwill to be tested for impairment. Because determining whether a triggering event has occurred and testing goodwill impairment necessarily involves the use of estimates, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s evaluation of goodwill could significantly change in the future. Goodwill acquired in an acquisition in 2019 has an aggregate gross carrying amount of $589,592 and accumulated amortization of $162,137 and $103,179 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense related to goodwill was $58,958 and $58,960 during 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to approximate $58,960 each year through 2028 and approximate $14,735 in 2029.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Freight Contracts

 

The Company recognizes freight contract revenue for financial reporting purposes over time, as performances obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Freight contracts are generally accounted for as a single unit of account (a single performance obligation), and not segmented between types of services. Progress toward completion of the Company’s freight contracts is measured by the percentage of miles traveled to date and estimated total mileage for each freight contract. This method is used because management considers miles incurred to be the best available measure of progress on uncompleted freight contracts. Freight contracts have a typical contract duration of less than one month.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

 

Brokerage Services

 

Revenues from all brokerage services are recognized upon delivery as the Company acts as an agent. Performance obligations are satisfied upon delivery by a third party. Brokerage contracts have a typical contract duration of one month or less.

 

Equipment Lease Income

 

Equipment lease revenue is primarily revenue generated from equipment leased to owner operators who haul loads for the Company. The Company recognizes equipment lease income based on the terms of the lease agreement. The lease income primarily results in lease income recognized ratably over the life of the lease agreement.

 

Warehouse Lease Income

 

The Company recognizes warehouse lease income based on the terms of the lease agreement. The lease income primarily results in lease income recognized ratably over the life of the lease agreement.

 

Transaction Price and Amounts Allocated to Performance Obligations

 

Generally, the transaction price in a contract is known at contract inception and is allocated to the performance obligations based upon the stand-alone selling prices of the promised services.

 

Contract Assets and Liabilities

 

Contract assets represent revenues recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities represent payments received from customer in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations under the contract. As of January 1, 2020, contract assets and contract liabilities were approximately $304,548 and $166,886, respectively.

 

Practical Expedients

 

The Company does not enter into contracts in which the period between transfer of services to the customer and payment by the customer is greater than one year. Therefore, the consideration amounts are not adjusted for the time value of money.

 

The Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize any incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred as these costs are not material.

 

The Company has also made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers.

Income Taxes

 

Corporation is a taxable entity taxed as a C corporation. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The principal temporary differences relate to the depreciable lives and salvage values of property and equipment, net operating loss carryforward, and amortization of organizational costs for tax purposes.

 

Leasing, Logistics, Freight, and Trucking are wholly owned subsidiaries of Corporation and are not subject to federal and state income tax and their net taxable income or loss are included in the tax returns of Corporation.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Company and recognize a tax liability if the Company has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by various federal and state taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Company, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability of disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

The Company has filed its federal and state income tax returns for periods through December 31, 2020. These income tax returns are generally open to examination by the relevant taxing authorities for a period of three years from the later of the date the return was filed of its due date (including approved extensions).

 

Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

 

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This new standard, which the Company is required to adopt in its year ending December 31, 2022, is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions by requiring entities that lease assets to recognize on their balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases, and to provide additional disclosures regarding the leases. Leases with terms (as defined in the ASU) of twelve months or less are not required to be reflected on an entity’s balance sheet.

 

The Company is presently evaluating the effects that this ASU will have on its future consolidated financial statements, including related disclosures.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events occurring subsequent to the date of the consolidated financial statements in determining the accounting for and disclosure of transactions and events that affect the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 12, 2022, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

3.LINE OF CREDIT

 

At December 31, 2021, the Company has a $7,000,000 ($4,000,000 at December 31, 2020 with its predecessor bank) line of credit agreement with a bank that expires May 2022. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus 1% (4.25% at December 31, 2021). The line of credit has commercial sweep feature connected to certain Company checking accounts. If these accounts fall below the target balance of zero, the excess funds will be automatically borrowed from the line of credit.

The credit agreement is cross collateralized with the other Company loans held by its primary bank (Note 4). The credit agreement places certain restrictive covenants on the Company including requiring a minimum cash flow coverage ratio, minimum tangible net worth, and maximum debt to tangible net worth ratio.

PPP Loan

 

On April 9, 2020, the Company received a low interest loan in the amount of $1,404,100 under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The PPP loan is unsecured, bears interest at 1% and funds advanced under the program are subject to forgiveness, if certain criteria is met, with the remaining balance repayable within two years of disbursement. The PPP loan is forgivable to the extent that employers incur and spend the funds on qualified expenditures, which include payroll, employee health insurance, rent, utilities and interest costs during the covered period (as defined). In addition, employers must maintain specified employment and wage levels during the pandemic, and submit adequate documentation of such expenditures to qualify for loan forgiveness.

 

The Company has elected to treat this loan as a government grant in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 958-605, whereby income is recognized when conditions of forgiveness have been substantially met. The Company determined that conditions of forgiveness were substantially met at December 31, 2020, as such, $1,404,100 was recognized in other income in the consolidated statement of income for 2020.

 

On February 10, 2021, the Company, was legally released by its creditor and notified by the SBA its loan had been forgiven. The SBA retains the right to audit the forgiveness of the loan for six years.

5.OPERATING LEASES

 

Company as a Lessor

 

Leasing leases tractor and trailer equipment under the terms of operating lease agreements to drivers hauling loads for Freight or Trucking. The leases are non-cancelable, but Leasing does not enforce the lease other than retaining possession of the tractor, trailer, and original deposits made. Due to the turnover of drivers and limited enforcement of the lease agreements, management has not disclosed future minimum lease payments to be received. Lease revenue earned under the terms of the equipment leases was $5,196,016 and $3,151,660 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Coronavirus (COVID-19) a pandemic. The continued spread of COVID-19, or any similar outbreaks in the future, may adversely impact the local, regional, national and global economies. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s operating results is dependent on the breadth and duration of the pandemic and could be affected by other factors management is not currently able to predict. Potential impacts include, but are not limited to, additional costs for responding to COVID-19, shortages of personnel, shortages of supplies, and delays, loss of, or reduction to, revenue. Management believes the Company is taking appropriate actions to respond to the pandemic, however, the full impact is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated at the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
