NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2023
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Company Description and Principles of Combination
These combined financial statements include the accounts Lew Thompson & Son Trucking, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, Lew Thompson and Son Dedicated, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, Josh Thompson Trucking, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, Lew Thompson & Son Dedicated Leasing, Inc., an Arkansas corporation, and Lew Thompson & Son Leasing, Inc., an Arkansas corporation. References in this report to "we," "us," "our," the "Company," and similar expressions refer to the combined financial statements of the aforementioned companies.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination. The Company operates as a dedicated contract carrier primarily transporting poultry related feed and live haul freight within the United States.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue, drivers' wages, and other direct operating expenses are recognized proportionally as the transportation service is performed based on the percentage of miles completed as of the period end. Revenue is recognized on a gross basis at amounts charged to our customers because we control and are primarily responsible for the fulfillment of the promised service. Revenue includes transportation revenue, fuel surcharges, loading and unloading activities, equipment detention, and other accessorial services.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors we consider as relevant to the circumstances. Such decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which impact reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in future economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of our estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those anticipated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at acquisition to be cash equivalents. Additionally, we are also subject to concentrations of credit risk related to deposits in banks in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limits. For the period ended March 31, 2023, we maintained cash in one bank that exceeded the FDIC limit of $250,000.
Accounts Receivable and Concentration of Credit Risk
We extend credit to our customers in the normal course of business, which are generally due within 30-45 days of the services performed. We perform ongoing credit evaluations and generally do not require collateral. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at their invoiced amounts reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts, if necessary, which reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Receivable balances are written off when collection is deemed unlikely.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. For the period ended March 31, 2023 three customers accounted for 10% or more of total accounts receivable at 46.4%, 27% and 11.4% and two customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenues at 45.8% and 41.1%, respectively.
The carrying amount reported in the combined balance sheet for accounts receivable approximates fair value due to the short collection period for receivables.
Inventories and Supplies
Inventories and supplies consist of parts, tires, fuel, and supplies. Tires on new revenue equipment are capitalized as a component of the related equipment cost when the tractor or trailer is placed in service and recognized through depreciation over the life of the vehicle. Replacement tires and parts on hand at period end are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Replacement tires are expensed when placed in service.
5
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets to an estimated salvage value. We annually review the reasonableness of our estimates regarding useful lives and salvage values of our revenue equipment and other long-lived assets based upon, among other things, our experience with similar assets, conditions in the used revenue equipment market, and prevailing industry practice. Changes in the useful life or salvage value estimates, or fluctuations in market values that are not reflected in our estimates, could have a material effect on our results of operations.
Pursuant to applicable accounting standards, revenue equipment and other long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever an event occurs that indicates impairment may exist. Undiscounted expected future cash flows are used to analyze whether an impairment has occurred. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the long-lived asset, then an impairment loss is recognized. We measure the impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis or the appraised value of the assets, as appropriate. There were no impairment events during the period ended March 31, 2023.
Insurance and Other Claims
Given the nature of the Company’s operating environment, the Company has, and in the future may, become subject to vehicle liability claims. The Company maintains insurance for individual vehicle claims (including related bodily injury and property damage claims) exceeding $50,000. The Company also maintains insurance coverage for health insurance claims over a certain amount per claim and is fully insured for all workers’ compensation claims.
The Company remains liable, subject to the limits discussed above, for vehicle liability claims incurred. The amount of loss reserves and loss adjustment expenses related to these claims is determined based on an estimation process that uses information obtained from Company-specific data. The estimation process requires management to continuously monitor and evaluate the life cycle of these outstanding claims and estimate the ultimate settlement costs of these claims.
Income Taxes
For federal and state income tax returns, Lew Thompson & Son Trucking, Inc. (the Company), an Arkansas corporation, including the accounts of the Company, Lew Thompson & Son Dedicated, Inc., Josh Thompson Trucking, Inc., Lew Thompson & Son Dedicated Leasing, Inc., and Lew Thompson & Son Leasing Inc. have elected to be taxed as an S corporation under the Internal Revenue Code. Under this election, taxable income of these entities is allocated to its shareholders and no income tax is payable by the Company, except in certain states that do not recognize this election. Some of the states allow a pass-through entity to elect to be taxed at the entity level and allow owners to exclude from their taxable income any income which is taxed directly by the pass-through entity, and the company records income tax similar to entity-level tax for ASC 740 (Income Taxes) purposes. For the first quarter 2023, the company recognized pass-through entity income tax in the amount of $123,550.
For fiscal period ended March 31, 2023, the Company determined that there were no uncertain tax positions as a result of applying the guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Accordingly, there was no provision for any uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2023, and the Company recognized no interest or penalties during those periods. In the event that an uncertain tax position would require the Company to recognize interest and penalties, these expenses would be recognized in interest expense and operating expenses, respectively. Tax years 2018 through 2023 remain open to examination by the tax authorities under the statute of limitations.
Lease Accounting
At the commencement date of a new lease agreement with contractual terms longer than twelve months, we recognize an asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet and categorize the lease as either finance or operating. Certain lease agreements have lease and non-lease components, and we have elected to account for these components separately.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are initially recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. When the rate implicit in the lease is readily determinable, this rate is used for calculating the present value of remaining lease payments; otherwise, our incremental borrowing rate is used. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at the lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of the lease. Options to extend or terminate a lease agreement are included in or excluded from the lease term, respectively, when those options are reasonably certain to be exercised. Right-of-use assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets.
6
Operating lease right-of-use assets are amortized over the lease term on a straight-line basis, and the lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease within operating expenses.
