Revenue and revenue recognition

Logistics



Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services to customers. With respect to its Logistics segment, the Company executedhas determined that, in general, each shipment transaction or service order constitutes a separate contract with the customer. When the Company provides multiple services to a customer, different contracts may be present for different services.



The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations as services are rendered at a point in time. A typical shipment would include services rendered at origin, such as pick-up and closeddelivery to port, freight services from origin to destination port and destination services, such as customs clearance and final delivery. The Company measures the performance of its obligations as services are completed at a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “INDCO Purchase Agreement”)point in time during the life of a shipment, including services at origin, freight and destination. The Company fulfills nearly all of its performance obligations within a one- to two-month period.



The Company evaluates whether amounts billed to customers should be reported as gross or net revenue. Generally, revenue is recorded on a gross basis when the Company is acting as principal and is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the services, when it has discretion in setting the prices for the purchaseservices to the customers, and the Company has the ability to direct the use of the services provided by the third party. Revenue is recognized on a net basis when the Company is acting as agent and we do not have latitude in carrier selection or in establishing rates with the carrier.

In the Logistics segment, the Company disaggregates its revenues by its 5 primary service categories: ocean freight, trucking, air freight, customs brokerage, and other. A summary of the outstanding common stock (the “INDCO Shares”)Company’s revenues disaggregated by major service lines for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in thousands):

(A)Stock Options
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our share-based awards. In applying this model, we use the following assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate - We determine the risk-free interest rate by using a weighted average assumption equivalent to the expected term based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity rate.
Expected term - We estimate the expected term of our options on the average of the vesting date and term of the option.
Expected volatility - We estimate expected volatility using daily historical trading data of a peer group.
 •Dividend yield - We have never paid dividends on our common stock and currently have no plans to do so; therefore, no dividend yield is applied.
The fair values of our employee option awards were estimated using the assumptions below, which yielded the following weighted average grant date fair values for the periods presented:

“Part II—Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Global Logistics Services – ThreeOperations—Critical Accounting Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 27, 2021. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ significantly from estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected. There were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended June 30, 20172022.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
While we prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also utilize and 2016

Revenues. Totalpresent certain financial measures, in particular adjusted operating income, which is not based on or included in U.S. GAAP (we refer to these as “non-GAAP financial measures”).

Organic Growth
Our non-GAAP financial measure of organic growth represents revenue growth excluding revenue from acquisitions within the preceding 12 months.
The organic growth presentation provides useful period-to-period comparison of revenue results as it excludes revenue from acquisitions that would not be included in the comparable prior period.
Adjusted Operating Income
As a result of our acquisition strategy, our net income includes material non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer-related intangible assets in the ordinary course of business as well as other intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Although these charges may increase as we complete more acquisitions, we believe we will be growing the value of our intangible assets such as customer relationships. Because these charges are not indicative of our operations, we believe that adjusted operating income is a useful financial measure for investors because it eliminates the effect of these non-cash costs and provides an important metric for our business that is more representative of the actual results of our operations.
Adjusted operating income (which excludes the non-cash impact of amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation and cost recognized on the sale of acquired inventory valuation) is used by management as a supplemental performance measure to assess our business’s ability to generate cash and economic returns.
Adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of preferred stock dividends, interest and taxes.
We believe that organic growth and adjusted operating income provide useful information in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as management. However, organic growth and adjusted operating income are not financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for total revenue, operating income or any other operating performance measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Using these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze our business has material limitations because the calculations are based on the subjective determination of management regarding the nature and classification of events and circumstances that users of the financial statements may find significant.
In addition, although other companies may report measures titled organic growth, adjusted operating income or similar measures, such non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from how we calculate our non-GAAP financial measures, which reduces their overall usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, you should consider organic growth and adjusted operating income alongside other financial performance measures, including total revenue, operating income and our other financial results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total corporate selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations2022 as compared to $3,194 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $1,293,174 as compared2021. The increase in both periods was due primarily to $906,174stock-based compensation related to restricted stock issuance with immediate vesting, higher accounting related professional expense, increased merger and acquisition expenses and increases in amortization of intangible expenses. We incur merger and acquisition deal-related expenses and intangible amortization at the Corporate level rather than at the segment level.

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the consolidated company increased $158 or 112.1%, to $299 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $141 for the three months ended June 30,2021. Interest expense for the consolidated company increased by $429 or 102.6%, to $847 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is2022 from $418 for the nine months ended June 30,2021.  The increase in both periods was primarily due to higher average debt balances to support our acquisition efforts and higher interest rates.
Income Tax Expense

The increase in expense for both periods was primarily due to an increase in pretax income.
Preferred Stock Dividends
Preferred stock dividends include any dividends accrued but not paid on the Company’s Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). For the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, preferred stock dividends were $71 and $197, respectively, representing a decrease of $126, or 42.7%64.0%. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, preferred stock dividends were $515 and $566, respectively, representing a decrease of $51, or 9.0%. The increase is duedecrease in preferred stock dividends in both periods was the result of the Company retiring $6,000 of Series C Preferred Stock on March 31, 2022 and the annual dividend rate change from 9% to 5%.
Net Income
Net income was $2,158, or $1.93 per diluted share, for the recategorizationthree months ended June 30, 2022 compared to net income of certain costs, previously included in$870 or $0.88 per diluted share, for the Global Logistics Services segment, as “corporate” costs.

This is an increase of $171,915, or 43.0%.2021. The increase isfor both periods was primarily due to higher revenues and gross profit, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses across our operating segments and at Corporate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General.8%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements, which derive fromincluding satisfying debt obligations and fund working capital, needs, day-to-day operating expenses and capital expenditures, depends upon our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, competition and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. We dependOur Logistics segment depends on our commercial credit facilities to fund our day-to-day operations as there is a timing difference between ourthe timing of collection cycles and the timing of our payments to vendors.

Janel’s

As a customs broker, our Logistics segment makes significant cash advances for a select group of our credit-worthy customers. These cash advances are for customer obligations such as the payment of duties and taxes to customs authorities primarily in the United States. Increases in duty rates could result in increases in the amounts we advance on behalf of our customers. Cash advances are a “pass through” and are not recorded as a component of revenue and expense. The billings of such advances to customers are accounted for as a direct increase in accounts receivable from the customer and a corresponding increase in accounts payable to governmental customs authorities. These “pass through” billings can influence our traditional credit collection metrics.
For customers that meet certain criteria, we have agreed to extend payment terms beyond our customary terms. Management believes that it has established effective credit control procedures and has historically experienced relatively insignificant collection problems.
Our subsidiaries depend on commercial credit facilities to fund day-to-day operations as there is a difference between the timing of collection cycles and the timing of payments to vendors. Generally, we do not make significant capital expenditures.

Global Logistics Services

Presidential Financial Corporation Borrowing Facility. On March 27, 2014, Janel Corporation and several of its subsidiaries within its Global Logistics Services segment (collectively, the “Janel Borrowers”), entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Presidential Financial Corporation (“Presidential”) with respect to a revolvingour line of credit facility (the “Presidential Facility”). As currently amended, the Presidential Facility provides that the Janel Borrowers can borrow up to $10,000,000, limited to 85%partially offset by repayments of the Janel Borrowers’ aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement. Interest will accrue at an annual rate equal to five percent above the greater of (a) the prime rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, or (b) 3.25%. The Janel Borrowers’ obligations under the Presidential Facility are secured by the assets of the Janel Borrowers. The Loan Security Agreement requires, among other things, that the Company, on a monthly basis, maintain a “minimum fixed charge covenant ratio” and “tangible net worth,” both as defined. The Presidential Facility will expire on March 27, 2018, subject to earlier termination as provided in the Loan and Security Agreement, unless renewed.

Working Capital Requirements.Janel Group’s cash needs are currently met by cash flow from operations, the Presidential Facility and cash on hand. term loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2017, the Company2022, we had $662,442 available under its Presidential Facility and $1,232,102 in cash. The Company believes that current financial resources will be sufficient to finance Janel Group operations and obligations (current and long-term liabilities) for the long- and short-terms. However, Janel Group’s actual working capital needs for the long- and short-terms will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, the cost associated with growing Janel Group either internallyno off-balance sheet arrangements or through acquisition, competition, and the availability under the Presidential Facility. None of these factors can be predicted with certainty. If cash flow and available credit are not sufficient to fund working capital, Janel Group’s operations will be materially negatively impacted.

Manufacturing

First Merchants Bank Borrowing Facility.On March 21, 2016, INDCO executed a Credit Agreement with First Merchants Bank (“First Merchants”) with respect to a $6,000,000 term loan and $1,500,000 (limited to the borrowing base and reserves) revolving loan(together, the “First Merchants Facility”). Interest will accrue on the term loan at an annual rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus either 3.75% (if INDCO’s cash flow leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2:1) or 4.75% (if INDCO’s cash flow leverage ratio is greater than 2:1). Interest accrues on the revolving loan at an annual rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 2.75%. INDCO’s obligations under theFirst Merchants Facilityare secured by all of INDCO’s assets, and are guaranteed by the Company. The Credit Agreement requires, among other things, that INDCO, on a monthly basis, not exceed a “maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio” and maintain a “minimum fixed charge covenant ratio,” both as defined. TheFirst Merchants Facilityrequires monthly payments until the expiration date on the fifth anniversary of the loan. The loan is subject to earlier termination as provided in the Credit Agreement, unless renewed.

Working Capital Requirements.INDCO’s cash needs are currently met bycash flow from operations, the First Merchants Facility, and cash on hand. As of June 30, 2017, INDCO had $1,500,000 available under its $1,500,000 revolving facility, subject to collateral availability, and $657,366 in cash. The Company believes that the current financial resources will be sufficient to finance INDCO operations and obligations (current and long-term liabilities) for the long- and short-terms. However, actual working capital needs for the long- and short-terms will depend upon numerous factors, including operating results, the cost associated with growing INDCO either internally or through acquisition, competition, and available credit under the revolving credit facility. None of these factors can be predicted with certainty. If cash flow and available credit are not sufficient to fund working capital, INDCO’s operations will be materially negatively impacted.

Current Outlook

The results of operations for both Janel Group and INDCO are affected by the general economic cycle. Janel Group is particularly influenced by global trade levels, specifically the import and export activities of its current and prospective customers. Historically, Janel Group’s quarterly results of operations have been subject to seasonal trends which have been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors, including climate, national holidays, consumer demand, economic conditions, the growth and diversification of Janel Group’s international network and service offerings, and other similar and subtle forces.

The Company cannot accurately forecast many of these factors, nor can it estimate accurately the relative influence of any factor and, as a result, there can be no assurance that historical patterns, if any, will continue in future periods.

Both Janel Group and INDCO are implementing business strategies to grow revenue and profitability for the current fiscal year and beyond. Janel Group’s strategy calls for additional branch offices, introduction of new revenue streams for existing locations, sales force expansion, additional acquisitions, and a continued focus on implementing lean methodologies to contain operating expenses. INDCO’s strategy calls for introductions of new product lines and wider distribution and promotion of its print- and web-based catalog.

obligations.

In addition to supporting its subsidiaries’ growth plans, the Company may seek to grow by entering new business segments through acquisition.

Certain elements of our profitability and growth strategy, principally proposals for acquisition and accelerating our revenue growth, are contingent upon the availability of adequate financing on terms acceptable to the Company. Without adequate equity and/or debt financing, the implementation of significant aspects of the Company’s strategic growth plan may be deferred beyond the originally anticipated timing, and the Company’s operations will be materially negatively impacted.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements 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 revenue recognition, 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 deferred income taxes. 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 management’s estimates.

Management believes that the nature of the Company’s business is such that there are few, if any, complex challenges in accounting for operations. Revenue recognition is considered the critical accounting policy.

Revenue Recognition

Global Logistics Services

The Company’s Global Logistics Services segment comprises several wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively known as “Janel Group.” Janel Group derives its revenues from air freight, ocean freight and customs brokerage services.

In its capacity as an air freight and ocean freight service provider, Janel Group acts as an indirect carrier: it does not own any transportation assets. Rather, it purchases transportation services from direct carriers (airlines, steam ship lines, etc.) and resells them to its customers. By consolidating shipments from multiple customers and availing itself of its buying power, Janel Group is able to negotiate favorable rates from direct carriers and offer to its customers better rates than the customers could obtain themselves.

Air freight revenues include charges for carrying shipments when Janel Group acts as an air freight consolidator. Ocean freight revenues include charges for carrying shipments when Janel Group acts as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (“NVOCC”). Janel Group issues a House Airway Bill (“HAWB”) or a House Ocean Bill of Lading (“HOBL”) to customers as the contract of carriage. In turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, Janel Group receives a contract of carriage known as a Master Airway Bill for air freight shipments and a Master Ocean Bill of Lading for ocean freight shipments. At this point, the risk of loss passes to the carrier; however, in order to claim for any such loss, the customer is obligated to pay the freight charges.

Based upon the terms of the contract of carriage, Janel Group recognizes air freight and ocean freight revenues when the freight is tendered to the direct carrier. Costs related to the shipments are recognized at the same time.

In some cases, Janel Group acts as an agent for the shipper, in which case it does not issue a HAWB or a HOBL. Revenues from these activities include only commission and fees earned for services performed. They are recognized upon completion of services.

In its capacity as a customs broker, Janel Group provides multiple services, including preparing documentation necessary for clearing shipments through U.S. customs, calculating and providing for payment of duties and other charges on its customers’ behalves and arranging for required inspections. Revenues derived from these activities are recognized upon completion of the services.

- 17 -

The movement of freight may require multiple services. In most instances, Janel Group may perform multiple services including destination break bulk and value-added services such as local transportation, distribution services and logistics management. Each of these services has separate fee that is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.

Customers frequently request an all-inclusive rate for a set of services known as “door-to-door services.” In these cases, the customer is billed a single rate for all services from pickup at origin to delivery. The allocation of revenue and expense among the components of services when provided under an all-inclusive rate are done in an objective manner on a fair value basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”

Manufacturing

The Company’s Manufacturing segment comprises its majority-owned INDCO subsidiary, which manufactures and distributes industrial mixing equipment. INDCO derives its revenues from product sales and shipping and handling charges, net of actual product returns and discounts. Since INDCO’s standard shipping terms are FOB shipping point, revenue primarily is recognized on the date products are shipped to the customer. INDCO recognizes revenues from both e-commerce and traditional channels in the same manner. Accounts receivable are stated at their estimated net realizable value. INDCO makes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its analysis of customer accounts and its historical experience with accounts receivable write-offs.

Estimates

While judgments and estimates are a necessary component of any system of accounting, the Company’s use of estimates primarily is limited to the following areas that, in the aggregate, are not a major component of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations:

a.accounts receivable valuation;

b.the useful lives of long-term assets;

c.the accrual of costs related to ancillary services the Company provides;

d.accrual of tax expense on an interim basis;

e.deferred tax valuation allowance; and

f.impairment of intangible assets.

Management believes that the methods utilized in these areas are non-aggressive in approach and consistent in application. Management believes that there are limited, if any, alternative accounting principles or methods which could be applied to the Company’s transactions. While the use of estimates means that actual future results may be different from those contemplated by the estimates, the Company believes that alternative principles and methods used for making such estimates would not produce materially different results than those reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company belis that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (asdesigned to ensure that term is definedinformation required to be disclosed in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange(the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act,, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods, specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, andthat such information is accumulated and communicated to management, in a timely manner.

ELFS, which the Company acquired on September 21, 2021, constituted 17 percent of the Company’s total assets and 45 percent of income before income taxes of the Company as of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that as of the systemend of such period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
