NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS








Forward Looking Statements





Certain statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements regarding the plans and objectives of management for future operations.  Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements included herein are based on current expectations that involve numerous risks and uncertainties.  Our plans and objectives are based, in part, on assumptions involving judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control.  Although we believe that our assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report will prove to be accurate.  In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein particularly in view of the current state of our operations, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a statement by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the factors set forth under the headings “Business,”and“Risk Factors” in  our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).





Note 1. - Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Business





AutoInfo, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sunteck Transport Co., Inc. and Eleets Logistics, Inc. (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operates in two business segments, non-asset based transportation services and agent support services. The non-asset based transportation services segment includes our brokerage and contract carrier services which are provided through a network of independent sales agents throughout the United States and Canada. Revenue in this segment is generated from freight transportation transactions. The agent support services segment includes an array of services that we provide to our agent network to support and encourage the expansion of our agents’ businesses, primarily financial support through interest bearing long-term loans and non-interest bearing short-term loans, as well as other services including training, margin analysis, marketing assistance, industry and market segment data, and business analysis tools.  Revenue in this segment consists primarily of interest on interest bearing loans made to agents. This segment also includes potential revenues related to profit participations and realization on options to acquire equity that the Company may receive related to a loan or advance extended to an agent.




As a non-asset based provider of brokerage and contract carrier transportation services, the Company does not own any equipment and its services are provided through its strategic alliances with less than truckload, truckload, air, rail, ocean common carriers and independent owner-operators to service customers’ needs. The Company’s brokerage and contract carrier services are provided through a network of independent sales agents throughout the United States and Canada. During its most recently completed fiscal year, the Company generated revenue, gross profit and net income of approximately $279.7 million, $53.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Basis of Presentation





The financial statements of the Company have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).





The consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In management’s opinion, these financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.  Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted from these statements.  The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.





Principles of Consolidation





The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AutoInfo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sunteck Transport Co., Inc. and Eleets Logistics, Inc.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.





Use of Estimates





The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions.  These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. The Company believes that all such assumptions are reasonable and that all estimates are adequate, however, actual results could differ from those estimates.





Revenue Recognition





Gross revenues from transportation services consist of the total dollar value of services purchased by shippers.  Gross profits are gross revenues less the direct costs of transportation. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of freight, at which time the related transportation cost, including commission, is also recognized.  At that time, the Company’s obligations are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Gross revenues and profits from agent support services consist primarily of interest on interest bearing loans.





Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-45 “Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations” (ASC 605-45), establishes criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis. The Company is the primary obligor in its transactions, has all credit risk, maintains substantially all risk and rewards, has discretion in selecting the supplier, and has latitude in pricing decisions.  Accordingly, the Company records all transactions at the gross amount, consistent with the provisions of ASC 605-45.





Income on all loans is recognized on the interest method. Accrual of interest is suspended at the earlier of the time at which collection becomes doubtful or the loan becomes delinquent.  Interest income on impaired loans is recognized either as cash is collected or on a cost-recovery basis as conditions warrant.





7
 Index





Cash and cash equivalents





Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks.





Provision For Doubtful Accounts





The Company continuously monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and has established an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future based on current economic trends, its historical payment and bad debt write-off experience, and any specific customer related collection issues.





Fixed Assets





Fixed assets as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consisting primarily of furniture, fixtures and equipment and computer system development costs, were carried at cost net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of fixed assets was provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from three to five years.





Income Per Share





Basic income per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents outstanding were 1,711,000 and 865,000, respectively, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.





Income Taxes





The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, 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 respective 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 and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.





Segment Information





The Company operates in two business segments, non-asset based transportation services and agent support services. The non-asset based transportation services segment includes our brokerage and contract carrier services which are provided through a network of independent sales agents throughout the United States and Canada. Revenue in this segment is generated from freight transportation transactions.  The agent support services segment includes an array of services that we provide to our agent network to support and encourage the expansion of our agents’ businesses, primarily financial support through interest bearing long-term loans and non-interest bearing short-term loans, as well as other services including training, margin analysis, marketing assistance, industry and market segment data, and business analysis tools.  Revenue in this segment consists primarily of interest on interest bearing loans. This segment also includes potential revenues related to profit participations and realization on options to acquire equity that the Company may receive related to a loan or advance extended to an agent.

Item 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Cautionary statement identifying important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those projected in forward looking statements.





Readers of this report are advised that this document contains both statements of historical facts and forward looking statements.  Forward looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward looking statements for any reason.   Examples of forward looking statements include, but are not limited to (i) projections of revenues, income or loss, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure and other financial items, (ii) statements of our plans and objectives with respect to business transactions and enhancement of shareholder value, (iii) statements of future economic performance, and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying other statements and statements about our business prospects.





The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.





Overview





Through our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Sunteck Transport Co., Inc. and Eleets Logistics, Inc. (collectively, “we,” “us,” or “our”), we operate in two business segments, non-asset based transportation services and agent support services.  The non-asset based transportation services segment includes our brokerage and contract carrier services which are provided through a network of independent sales agents throughout the United States and Canada.  As a non-asset based provider of brokerage and contract carrier transportation services, we do not own any equipment and our services are provided through strategic alliances with less than truckload, truckload, air, rail, ocean common carriers and independent owner-operators to service customers’ needs.  Our brokerage and contract carrier services are provided through a network of independent sales agents throughout the United States and Canada.  Revenue in this segment is generated from freight transportation transactions.





Our agent support services segment includes an array of services that we provide to our agent network to support and encourage the expansion of their businesses, primarily financial support through interest bearing long-term loans and non-interest bearing short-term loans, as well as other services including training, margin analysis, marketing assistance, industry and market segment data, and business analysis tools.  Revenue in this segment consists primarily of interest on interest bearing loans.  This segment also includes potential revenues related to profit participations and realization on options to acquire equity that we may receive related to a loan or advance extended to an agent.





Our contractual arrangement with one of our significant independent agents provides for the agent’s retention of all of the gross profit earned on the transactions it generates.  The agent pays us interest on loans and advances we extend to it at rates ranging from 8% to 20% plus a fee equal to 25% of the agent’s pre-tax income, as defined in the applicable agreement.  In addition, the agent has granted to us an option to convert a portion of outstanding loans into a 25% equity ownership interest in the agent’s business.





During the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, we received interest payments of $489,000 and $453,000, respectively, on loans and advances to this agent but no incremental amounts were earned since the agent did not generate pre-tax income in 2011 or 2010.  Future fee revenue is dependent upon several factors including the continuation of the economic recovery and the agent’s continued revenue growth and implementation of cost control measures.





This significant agent generated approximately 42% and 45% of gross transportation services revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.





10
 Index





During the next twelve months, we plan to continue to offer our brokerage and contract carrier transportation services and expand our agent network.  We are presently profitable and have adequate available lines of credit to satisfy our working capital requirements during the next twelve months.




Results of operations





Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010





Revenues





Gross revenues totaled $75,479,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $56,915,000 in the same prior year period, an increase of approximately 33%.





Gross revenues from transportation services, consisting of freight fees and other related services revenue, totaled $74,944,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $56,430,000 in the same prior year period, an increase of approximately 33%.  Gross profits were $13,157,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $10,407,000 in the prior year period, an increase of approximately 26%. This is the result primarily of the increased cost of purchased transportation based upon an increase in fuel prices, the demand for transportation and a decrease in the availability of truck capacity.





Gross revenues from agent support services, consisting primarily of interest on loans, totaled $535,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $485,000 in the same prior year period, an increase of approximately 10%. This increase is the direct result of the increase in interest bearing loans and advances from $10.5 million at March 31, 2010 to $11.1 million at March 31, 2011.




Costs and expenses





Commissions, all of which were attributable to our transportation services segment, totaled $10,076,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $8,053,000 in the same prior year period, an increase of 25%.  This increase is the result of the increase in gross profits. As a percentage of gross profit from transportation services, commissions were 76.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared with 77.4% in the prior year.





Operating expenses totaled $2,376,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to $1,978,000 in the same prior year period, an increase of 20.1%.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, $2,311,000 of these expenses were attributable to our transportation services segment and $65,000 were attributable to our agent support services segment, as compared with $1,912,000 attributable to our transportation services segment and $66,000 attributable to our agent support services segment in the same prior year period.  As a percentage of gross profit, the aggregate operating expenses for both segments were 17.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared with 18.2% in the same prior year period.  This percentage of gross profit decrease is the direct result of a significant increase in gross revenues, cost containment measures and our ability to leverage administrative overhead with growth. We presently have adequate facilities and management to handle the present and anticipated transaction volume in 2011 without a significant increase in overhead.





Interest expense, all of which was attributable to our transportation services segment, was $161,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.




11
 Index




Income tax





Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $418,000 consisting of federal income taxes of $357,000 and state income taxes of $61,000 compared to $275,000 for the same prior year period consisting of the utilization of the deferred tax benefit of $235,000 and state income taxes of $40,000.  The increase in income taxes is directly related to higher pre-tax income.




Trends and uncertainties





The transportation industry is highly competitive and highly fragmented.  In our brokerage services, our primary competitors are other non-asset based as well as asset based third party logistics companies, freight brokers, carriers offering logistics services and freight forwarders.  In our contract carrier services, our competitors are other contract carriers and common carriers. We also compete with customers’ and shippers’ internal traffic and transportation departments as well as carriers’ internal sales and marketing departments directly seeking shippers’ freight. We anticipate that competition for our services will continue to increase.  Many of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources, sales and marketing resources and experience.  We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively compete with our competitors in effecting our business expansion plans.  The most significant trend contributing to our growth during the past two years has been the expansion of our brokerage services agent network and contract carrier agent and owner operator network.  Sales agents are independent contractors and, as such, there are no assurances that we can either maintain our existing agent network or continue to expand this network.





For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, our gross revenues increased to $75.5 million from $56.9 million in the same prior year period. Factors that could adversely affect our operating results include:





·
the success of Sunteck in expanding its business operations; and




·
general economic conditions.





Depending on our ability to generate revenues, we may require additional funds to expand our business operations and for working capital and general corporate purposes. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financings may involve restrictive covenants that further limit our ability to make decisions that we believe will be in our best interests.  In the event we cannot obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to us when required, our ability to expand our operations may be materially adversely affected.





Advances and other assets





An integral component of our growth strategy is, and has been, the expansion of our independent sales agent network. During the past two years, we have expanded this strategy to include independent sales agents with the experience and opportunity to build the infrastructure required to generate opportunities for significant increases in revenues.  As our year-over-year results reflect, this initiative has been successful.  In identifying these opportunities, we analyze a prospective sales agent’s customer relationships, financial stability, industry experience and past performance.  Based upon the results of such analysis we determine our level of interest in affiliating with the target sales agent and evaluate such sales agent’s capital needs to support its integration into our business and to maximize the agent’s potential revenue growth, and thus revenue contribution.





Our agent expansion and recruiting program includes several components which are tailored to the specific needs of individual agent groups.  Each of these situations has differing characteristics and are addressed and evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The options we consider to support a new sales agent’s business expansion include signing bonuses, short-term advances, non-interest bearing loans, long-term advances and interest bearing loans.

Loans have been utilized in a limited number of sales agent opportunities and the loan proceeds are restricted in use. Such funds can be used by independent sales agents only to invest in operating facilities, equipment and personnel, which typically includes both sales and operating staff.  These are viewed by us as contributing to future revenue enhancement that we will benefit from.





Liquidity and capital resources





During the past two years, our sources for cash have been the cash flow generated from operations and available borrowings under our line of credit.





At March 31, 2011, we had an outstanding balance of $18,130,000 under our $30 million line of credit.  In April 2011, we modified our credit facility with Regions Bank to (a) increase our line of credit from $30 million to $35 million, (b) extend the maturity date from March 2012 to June 2014, and (c) change the interest rate from LIBOR plus 2.5% with a floor ranging from 3.0 – 3.5% to LIBOR plus 1.75% - 2.25%, with no floor, based upon the maintenance of certain financial covenants.  We believe that we have sufficient working capital to meet our short-term operating needs.





At March 31, 2011, we had liquid assets of approximately $203,000.  Available cash is used to reduce borrowings on our line of credit.





The total amount of debt outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 was $18,130,000 and $19,947,000, respectively.  The following table presents our debt instruments and their weighted average interest rates as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively:

Inflation and changing prices had no material impact on our revenues or the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2011.





Critical accounting policies





Preparation of our financial statements 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.  Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our financial statements.  The most significant areas involving our estimates and assumptions are described below.  Actual results could differ materially from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions.





Revenue recognition





Gross revenues from transportation services consist of the total dollar value of services purchased by shippers.  Gross profits are gross revenues less the direct costs of transportation. Revenue is recognized upon the delivery of freight, at which time the related transportation cost, including commission, is also recognized.  At that time, our obligations are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Gross revenues and profits from agent support services consist primarily of interest on interest bearing loans.

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605-45 “Revenue Recognition – Principal Agent Considerations” (ASC 605-45), establishes criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis.  We are the primary obligor in our transactions, have all credit risk, maintain substantially all risk and rewards, have discretion in selecting the supplier, and latitude in pricing decisions.  Accordingly, we record all transactions at the gross amount, consistent with the provisions of ASC 605-45.





Income on all loans is recognized on the interest method. Accrual of interest is suspended at the earlier of the time at which collection becomes doubtful or the loan becomes delinquent.  Interest income on impaired loans is recognized either as cash is collected or on a cost-recovery basis as conditions warrant.





Allowance for doubtful accounts





We continuously monitor the creditworthiness of our customers and have established an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future based on current economic trends, our historical payment and bad debt write-off experience, and any specific customer related collection issues.




Off-balance sheet arrangements




We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
