Significant Accounting Principles |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Segmentz,
Inc. have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-QSB. The financial statements
reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring
adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary
for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial
statements.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and footnotes included thereto
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 for Segmentz,
Inc. on Form 10KSB as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and available on the SECs
website www.sec.gov.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles 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 that
effect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates, and the results reflected within these financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the entire year.
In conjunction with the preparation of these statements, the
Company evaluated its historical performance, as well as its
expected performance for the remainder of 2005 and the full year
of 2006, as a basis for determining whether the Company should
be considered to have operational, liquidity and other concerns
that might raise doubts about its continuance and ability
to meet future financial obligations. Among the items considered
in this analysis were the historical losses, the significance of
the restructuring charges, the completeness of the
restructuring, the historical performance of the Companys
expedited (Express-1) and dedicated operations and the
availability and adequacy of the Companys liquidity and
capital resources. In the opinion of the Companys
management, based upon the above analysis, the Company should be
considered as a going concern. Additional business risk factors
have been outlined in the Companys annual report filed on
Form 10-KSB and are available on both the Companys
(www.express-1.com) and SEC websites.
Recent Accounting Developments
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R is a
revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its
related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123R focuses
primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity
obtains employee services through share-based payment
transactions. SFAS No 123R requires the measurement of the
cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of
equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the
date of grant. The cost will be recognized over the period
during which an employee is required to provide services in
exchange for the award. SFAS No. 123R is effective as
of the beginning of the first interim or Quarterly reporting
period that begins after December 15, 2005. Segmentz cannot
precisely determine the impact on earnings that will result from
the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.
Stock-Based Compensation
Segmentz, Inc. (the Company) accounts for stock based
compensation under the intrinsic value method of accounting for
stock based compensation and has disclosed pro forma net income
and earnings per share amounts using the fair value based method
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock
Based Compensation. The Company has implemented the

for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and
Disclosure.

The preceding pro forma results were calculated with the use of

assumptions were used for the three month and the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2004 (1) risk-free
interest rate of 2.80%, (2) no dividend yield,
(3) expected lives of between 3.0 and 5.0 years and
(4) volatility of between 35% and 85%. Results may vary
depending on the assumptions applied

within the model. Compensation expense recognized in providing
pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects
on net income for future years.
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These principles require 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. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not
limited to; purchased transportation, recoverability of
long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses, valuation
of investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular
basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and
existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are
performed and adjustments are made as information is available.
Management believes that these estimates are reasonable;
however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Income Taxes
Taxes on income are provided in accordance with
SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the book values and the tax basis of particular assets
and liabilities and the tax effects of net operating loss and
capital loss carry forwards. 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 the tax rate is
recognized as income or expense in the period that included the
enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to offset the
net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence,
it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax
assets will not be realized. There is an allowance recorded as
of September 30, 2005 of approximately $2,300,000 on
deferred tax assets.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which
requires companies to present basic earnings per share and
diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by
the combined weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the period.
For purposes of calculating earnings per share, the basic
weighted average number of shares was 26,385,577 and 26,287,697
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 and
2004, while the basic weighted average number of shares was
26,605,712 and 23,058,423, respectively, for the nine-month
period ended on the same dates. The diluted weighted average
number of shares outstanding was 26,385,577 and 26,287,697 for
the three-month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. The diluted weighted average number of shares was
26,605,712 and 23,058,423 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Common stock equivalents in the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were
anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company
during these periods. As a consequence, the diluted weighted
average common shares outstanding in these periods are the same
as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding, for
purposes of calculating earning per share.

Commitments and Contingencies |
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be a party
to a variety of legal actions. The Company does not anticipate
any of these matters or any matters in the aggregate to have a
materially adverse effect on the Companys business or its
financial position or results of operations.
Regulatory Compliance
The Companys activities are regulated by state and federal
agencies under requirements that are subject to broad
interpretations. Among these regulations are limitations on the
hours-of-service that can be performed by the Companys
drivers, limitations on the types of commodities that can be
hauled, limitations on the gross vehicle weight for each class
of vehicle utilized by the company and limitations on the
transit authorities within certain regions. The Company cannot
predict future changes to be adopted by the regulatory bodies
that could require changes to the manner in which the Company
operates.
Line of Credit
In November 2004, Segmentz entered into agreements with Fifth
Third Bank, a Michigan banking corporation, under which Fifth
Third Bank extended to it an asset-based line of credit. Under
the Loan Documents, Segmentz may draw down on the line of credit
the lesser of $3,500,000 or 80% of the eligible accounts
receivable of Segmentz and its wholly owned subsidiary
Express-1, Inc. All obligations of Segmentz under the agreements
are secured by the accounts receivable of Segmentz. Express-1,
Inc. entered into agreements providing for a guaranty of the
obligations of Segmentz under the Loan Documents, which the
guaranty is secured by the accounts receivable of Express-1,
Inc. All advances under the Loan Documents are subject to
interest at the rate of the one-month LIBOR plus 3.0%, payable
monthly. The maturity date of the loan is December 31,
2005. The Companys line of credit contains various
covenants pertaining to the maintenance of certain financial
ratios. As of September 30, 2005, the Company did not meet
two of the required ratios. As of September 30, 2005 the
interest rate was approximately 7.09% and there was
approximately $1,000,000 available under this credit facility.
On November 4, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement
with Chemical Bank (Chemical), a Michigan banking corporation,
under which Chemical extended an asset-based line of credit to
the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Express-1,
Inc. with Segmentz acting as guarantor. Under the terms of the
agreement, Segmentz may draw down amounts under the facility not
to exceed $6.0 million in the aggregate, at interest rates
that are based upon Chemical Banks prime lending rate. The
amount that may be drawn at any time is limited to the lessor of
the $6.0 million limit or 80% of eligible accounts
receivable, plus $800,000. Segmentz assets pledged as collateral
for the borrowing base include accounts receivable and the real
property located in Buchanan, Michigan. At the time of the
agreement, availability under the Chemical Bank facility was
approximately $4.5 million. The initial rate of interest on
this facility will be approximately 6.75%, based upon the
financial results through September 30, 2005, and will be
reset quarterly, thereafter, absent an event of default. The new
facility has a maturity date of November 15, 2007.
Bank Note
In April 2005, Segmentz entered into a mortgage with Fifth Third
Bank for approximately $680,000 related to the purchase of the
Buchanan facility. The note is amortized over a ten-year period
at a fixed rate of approximately 6%; with a final balloon
payment for all accrued interest and principal after five years.
In conjunction with the new facility through Chemical Bank,
Segmentz will repay and retire the Fifth Third mortgage facility
as part of the financing arranged with Chemical Bank.

Restructuring, Exit and Consolidation Expenses |
During the fourth quarter of 2004, shortly after the Express-1
acquisition was completed, the Company implemented a
restructuring plan aimed at optimizing performance in its call
center operations, consolidating duplicate functions from
several locations, eliminating unprofitable locations and
focusing the Company on providing premium transportation
services. The initial intent of the plan was to convert more of
the Companys transportation cost to a variable cost model,
effectively reducing its fixed cost and appropriately aligning
support functions with sustainable revenue levels. In the second
quarter of 2005, the Companys Board of Directors expanded
the restructuring plan to include the elimination of all
non-expediting services and the elimination of excess overhead
costs, including the consolidation of the Companys
administrative and management functions within its Buchanan,
Michigan location.
As a result of the restructuring plan, the Company has incurred
$2,010,000 of non-cash impairment of intangibles, losses on the
sale and disposal of fixed assets totaling $1,378,039,
write-offs on uncollectable receivables of $310,000, employee
related expenses of $455,000, and $295,000 of other accruals and
expenses associated with restructuring for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2005. The Companys management
believes the restructuring plan is substantially completed as of
September 30, 2005.
Future net lease obligations for closed facilities have been
estimated at approximately $375,000 over the next four years. At
September 30, 2005, one of the facilities was subleased and
the Company was continuing to explore early termination or
sublease opportunities for the remaining facilities.

addition to the buyers accounts receivable secure this
note.
BFS also agreed to assume certain liabilities at closing in
addition to selling 160,000 shares of Segmentz Inc. common stock
to the Seller. These shares are reflected on the Segmentz, Inc.
balance sheet under the caption Treasury Stock at
September 30, 2005.
6. Subsequent Events
On October 24, 2005, the Company executed an early
termination agreement with the lessor of its Knoxville,
Tennessee property. The Company was released from all future
obligations on the property in exchange for a one-time payment
of $100,000. At the time of the agreement, the remaining rental
payment stream for the Knoxville facility was approximately
$264,000 payable monthly through May 1, 2009. The Company
had recorded an impairment of approximately $138,000 as of
September 30, 2005, in anticipation of future early
termination or sublease agreements.
On November 4, 2005, the Company entered into a new
two-year revolving loan agreement with Chemical Bank of
Michigan. The terms of the agreement are outlined more fully in
footnote 3 within this Form 10-QSB. The Company plans
to retire the Fifth Third Bank agreement and transition
substantially all banking activities to Chemical Bank during the

Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation. |
Forward-Looking Statements. This Form 10-QSB
includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of
historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this
Form 10-QSB which address activities, events or
developments which the Company expects or anticipates will or
may occur in the future, including such things as future capital
expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), finding
suitable merger or acquisition candidates, expansion and growth
of the Companys business and operations, and other such
matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are
based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in
light of its experience and its perception of historical trends,
current conditions and expected future developments as well as
other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
However, whether actual results or
10
developments will conform with the Companys expectations
and predictions is subject to a number of risks and
uncertainties, general economic market and business conditions;
the business opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be
presented to and pursued by the Company; changes in laws or
regulation; and other factors, most of which are beyond the
control of the Company.
This Form 10-QSB contains statements that constitute
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of predictive,
future-tense or forward-looking terminology, such as
believes, anticipates,
expects, estimates, plans,
may, will, or similar terms. These
statements appear in a number of places in this filing and
include statements regarding the intent, belief or current
expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers with
respect to, among other things: (i) trends affecting the
Companys financial condition or results of operations for
its limited history; (ii) the Companys business and
growth strategies; (iii) the Companys ability to
integrate the companies it has acquired and, (iv) the
Companys financing plans. Investors are cautioned that any
such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve significant risks and uncertainties, and
that actual results may differ materially from those projected
in the forward-looking statements as a result of various
factors. Factors that could adversely affect actual results and
performance include, among others, the Companys limited
operating history, potential fluctuations in quarterly operating
results and expenses, government regulation, technology change
and competition. Consequently, all of the forward-looking
statements made in this Form 10-QSB are qualified by these
cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the
actual results or developments anticipated by the Company will
be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will
have the expected consequence to or effects on the Company or
its business or operations. The Company assumes no obligations
to update any such forward-looking statements.
General
We provide specialized expedited transportation services to
customers through our primary operating subsidiary, Express-1,
located in Buchanan, Michigan. In addition, we provide dedicated
expedited services from our facility in Evansville, Indiana.
Express-1 specializes in time critical deliveries and offers a
variety of vehicle capacities, including vans, straight trucks
and semis. Our asset-light model primarily utilizes a fleet of
independent contractors to provide time-definite services
throughout the United States and certain provinces of Canada.
Express-1 is ISO 9001:2000 certified and operates a
24/7 call center providing coverage for all forms of
on-demand capacity needs including surface and air delivery.
Express-1 has been recognized for its excellence in customer
service. Express-1 acts as a Tier 1 supplier to major
automotive manufacturers as well as servicing the needs of a
diverse client base including a number of Fortune 500
companies and third-party logistics providers.
Our operation in Evansville, Indiana provides dedicated
expedited transportation services from a primary automotive
parts distribution facility. These services are fulfilled
through a fleet of company operated trucks and trailers. The
dedicated service contract extends through April 2007.
Restructuring
In late 2004, subsequent to the acquisition of Express-1, our
Board of Directors committed us to a restructuring plan designed
to enhance our operating flexibility, upgrade and standardize
our business processes, improve our customer service and
increase our profitability. In the second quarter of 2005, our
Board of Directors increased the scope of this plan by
committing the Company to the disposal of significantly all
non-expedited operations and the consolidation of all
administrative functions within our Buchanan, Michigan location.
The restructuring plan was substantially completed during the
quarter ended September 30, 2005, and all known costs have
either been expensed or accrued. Management believes the
restructuring plan positions our Company to become profitable in
the fourth quarter of 2005. Due to the success of this
restructuring effort in addition to our renewed focus on our
core expedited business model, our management team believes the
remaining operations provide a solid and profitable foundation
for future growth.
11
Significant components of the restructuring include:
|
|
|
|
|
Reduction in head-count from 441 employees as of
September 30, 2004, to 127 at the end of
September 2005. |
|
|
|
Reduction of corporate administrative costs by approximately
$100,000 per month. Included in this cost was the elimination of
the corporate offices in Tampa, Florida. |
|
|
|
Reduction in the fixed cost component of our business model
related to the elimination of company owned equipment and
related expenses and the transition to an asset-light model. |
|
|
|
Reduction in the number of information system platforms
maintained from four systems to one system. |
|
|
|
Reduction in the truckers liability portion of our
insurance rates of approximately 19% associated with a change in
the risk profile of our new expedited business model. |
Plan of Operation
Our Board of Directors and management team is focused on
expanding our expedited operations under our brand, Express-1.
In support of this strategy, we intend to seek shareholder
approval to change our company name to Express-1 in conjunction
with our annual shareholders meeting. Express-1 has become
a recognized leader in the expedited transportation market since
its inception in 1989. Our management estimates the expedited
market in the United States to be in excess of $2.5 billion
dollars and growing as more manufacturers shift to just-in-time
inventories and leaner supply chains. We believe our footprint
within the expedited transportation services niche will continue
to expand at a substantial rate for the foreseeable future.
In support of the transition towards a more profitable expedited
business model, the Company will primarily focus on aggressive
organic growth and improved operating efficiencies. In the near
future, acquisitions will be considered only to the extent that
they compliment our expedited business model and are accretive
to our operational focus and the earnings of the company.
There are a variety of risks associated with the Companys
ability to achieve strategic objectives. For a more detailed
discussion of these risks, see the section entitled Risks
Particular to The Companys Business contained in the
Companys annual report for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and filed on Form 10-KSB with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Revenues decreased by $4,849,622, or 33.8%, to $9,511,754 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005, as compared to
$14,361,376 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The
decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to the cessation
of our unprofitable linehaul, Tampa brokerage, pickup and
delivery operations in accordance with our restructuring plan.
This decrease was partially mitigated by the impact of the
Express-1 acquisition on the full quarter of 2005, as opposed to
only two months within the third quarter of 2004.
12
Operating expenses, which consist primarily of payments for
trucking services provided by both partner carriers and
independent contractors, fuel, insurance, equipment costs and
payroll expenses decreased by $4,665,488 or 38.5%, to $7,447,718
for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to
$12,113,206 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. As a
percentage of revenues, operating expenses amounted to 78.3% of
related revenues for the three months ended September 30,
2005, compared with 84.3% for the same three-month period in the
prior year. The change in operating expenses during the quarter
resulted primarily from the disposition of our unprofitable
pickup and delivery operations. The effect of the disposition
was mitigated by the full quarter impact of Express-1 in the
third quarter of 2005, contrasted against two months for the
third quarter of 2004.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense decreased
by $133,054 or 4.9% to $2,558,309 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 compared to $2,691,363 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2004. SG&A expenses included
approximately $490,039 of identified restructuring costs in the
third quarter of 2005. As a percentage of revenue, SG&A
expenses represented 27.5% of revenue in the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 compared to 18.7% of revenues for the
same quarter of 2004. The increase in SG&A expenses in
relationship to revenue is primarily the result of restructuring
charges including general and administrative costs associated
with our disposed operations and the closing of our former Tampa
administrative offices. Our management believes SG&A will
decrease as a percentage of revenue in the future as the savings
associated with relocating administrative functions to Buchanan,
Michigan are realized.
Our Company realized a loss from operations before provision for
income taxes of $550,697 for the period ended September 30,
2005, compared with a loss from operations before provision for
income taxes of $454,783 for the period ended September 30,
2004.
There was no tax benefit recorded for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 compared to a benefit of approximately
$166,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The lack
of tax benefit was due to the significance of net operating
losses in the preceding quarters. Future profitability will be
monitored to reassess the deferred tax asset and related
allowance and to determine the appropriate tax provision for
future periods. Differences between the effective tax rate used
for 2005 and 2004, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory
rate, are primarily due to permanent differences and adjustments
to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Basic and diluted loss per share for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005 was $.02, compared with basic and
diluted loss per share of $.01 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2004. The diluted loss per share was
equivalent to the basic loss per share, as common stock
equivalents were anti-dilutive for the quarters ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Revenues increased $1,600,152, or 5.6%, to $30,150,370 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to
$28,550,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
The increase is primarily the result of the full year impact of
the Express-1 acquisition in 2005, as opposed to two months in
2004. The impact of Express-1 on revenues was offset by the
reduction in revenues associated with the disposal of our
unprofitable linehaul, pick-up and delivery and Tampa brokerage,
businesses during 2005.
13
Operating expenses, which consist primarily of payments for
trucking services provided by both partners and independent
contractors, fuel, insurance, equipment costs and payroll
expenses increased by $94,569, or 0.4%, to $23,897,865 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to
$23,803,296 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses amounted to
79.3% of related revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, compared with 83.4% for the same period
in the year earlier. The reduction in operating expense as a
percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to the decrease
in fixed costs associated with the disposal of our unprofitable
pick-up and delivery operations coupled with improvements in
margin associated with rate increases in the Evansville
dedicated operation. We anticipate continued improvement in
margin, throughout 2005, as the full impact of the restructuring
plan is realized in the form of reduced fixed overhead costs.
Sales, general and administrative (SG&A) expense increased
by $6,190,822 or 97.6% to $12,531,967 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, compared to $6,341,145 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004. As a percentage of
revenues, SG&A amounted to 41.6% of related revenues for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared with 22.2%
for the same period in the year earlier. The change in SG&A
resulted primarily from (i) the additional restructuring,
exit and consolidation costs of approximately $4,448,039, and
(ii) certain severance and other non-recurring costs not
included as part of the restructuring attributable to the
operation of the ceased pick-up and delivery operations coupled
with the costs associated with maintaining corporate offices in
Tampa, Florida.
The Company realized a loss from operations before provision for
income taxes of $6,412,570 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, compared with a loss from operations
before provision for income taxes of $1,688,165 for the same
period in September 30, 2004. The loss is primarily the
result of $4,448,039 in restructuring and exit costs coupled
with the costs of maintaining duplicate administrative functions
at the closed pick-up and delivery locations and our former
Tampa, Florida headquarters.
There was no tax benefit recorded for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2005, compared to a benefit of $601,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. There was no
tax benefit recorded due to the significant losses recorded in
preceding periods. We will continue to monitor profitability
during the fourth quarter of 2005 as well as into 2006, to
access both our deferred tax position as well as associated
provisions for tax expenses and benefits. Differences between
the effective tax rate used for 2005 and 2004, as compared to
the U.S. federal statutory rate, are primarily due to
permanent differences and adjustments to the deferred tax asset
valuation allowance.
Basic and diluted loss per share for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was $0.24, compared with basic and
diluted loss per share of $0.05 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004. The diluted loss per share was
equivalent to the basic loss per share, as common stock
equivalents were anti-dilutive for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004.
Critical Accounting Policies
|
|
|
Principles of Consolidation |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Segmentz, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company
does not have any variable interest entities whose financial
results are not included in the consolidated financial
statements.
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. These principles require 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 consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates,
including but not limited to, purchased transportation,
recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid
expenses, valuation of
14
investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular
basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and
existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are
performed and adjustments are made as information is available.
Management believes that these estimates are reasonable and have
been discussed with the audit committee; however, actual results
could differ from these estimates.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents and
accounts receivables.
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial
institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may
exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits.
Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and,
therefore, bear minimal risk.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables
is limited due to the Companys large number of customers
and diverse range of industries and locations served. No
customer comprised more than ten percent of the
September 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004 customer
accounts receivable balance.
The Company extends credit to its various customers based on
evaluation of the customers financial condition and
ability to pay the Company in accordance with the payment terms.
The Company provides for estimated losses on accounts receivable
considering a number of factors, including the overall aging of
accounts receivables, customers payment history and the
customers current ability to pay its obligation. Based on
managements review of accounts receivable and other
receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately
$578,000 is considered necessary as of September 30, 2005,
which is primarily related to the accounts receivables of the
Bullet and Temple business units. Management believes that
account receivables are recorded at their net realizable value.
We do not accrue interest on past due receivables.
The Company is party to legal actions, which are not material to
operations pursuant to Item 301 of Regulation S-B.
EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was
positive $331,465 compared to negative $149,322 in the
comparable period of the prior year. EBITDA for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 was negative $655,964 compared to
negative $771,645 in the comparable period of the prior year. We
define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization. In addition, we exclude from our EBITDA
calculation the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle, discontinued operations, and the impact of
restructuring and certain other charges, and include in the
EBITDA calculation selected financial data related to various
Company acquisitions. A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth herein.

The Core Business column is provided to reflect for
the readers a subtotal of the operations that remain, after the
recent completion of the restructuring. |
The selected data represents reporting units within
the Company and are primarily allocated based on acquisitions,
which is the basis for their respective earn-out provisions. The
subtotal entitled Core Business represents the
operations remaining after the completion of the restructuring
plan, and is intended only to give the reader the ability to
view what are now our ongoing operations, exclusive of the
closed operations. The column entitled Other represents services
or location revenue and expenses that has primarily been
eliminated based on the restructuring plan implemented in the
fourth quarter of 2004. Neither Dedicated nor Other met the
quantitative criteria in 2004 or 2005 required for segment
reporting.

USE OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP MEASURES
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), we have
included in this report earnings EBITDA with EBITDA
being defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization and excluding the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle, discontinued operations, and the impact
of restructuring and other charges. We have also included some
selected financial data related to the various acquisitions and
operating locations. For each non-GAAP financial measure, we
have presented the most directly comparable GAAP financial
measure and reconciled the non-GAAP financial measure with such
comparable GAAP financial measure.
These non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to
investors to assist in understanding the underlying operational
performance of our company. Specifically, EBITDA is a useful
measure of operating performance before the impact of investing
and financing transactions, making comparisons between
companies earnings power more meaningful and providing
consistent period-over-period comparisons of our Companys
performance. In addition, we use these non-GAAP financial
measures internally to measure our on-going business performance
and in reports to bankers to permit monitoring of our ability to
pay outstanding liabilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2005 we have approximately $498,000 of
working capital with associated cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $176,000, compared with working capital of
approximately $3,714,000 and cash of approximately $854,000 at
December 31, 2004.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 cash
has decreased by approximately $678,000. During the same period
we completed payments related to previous acquisitions of
approximately $1,524,000 and experienced operational losses
which were primarily off-set by: (i) the net increase of
approximately $1,434,000 in debt; (ii) the significant
decrease in the accounts receivable associated with our
restructuring of approximately $1,863,000; (iii) the sale
of the Lexington facility; (iv) the $3,510,000 of non-cash
impairments recorded during the period and (v) the
extension of credit facilities to the buyers of our pickup and
delivery operations in the amount of $400,000. We will fund
future revenue growth primarily through operations and the line
of credit.
In conjunction with the preparation of these statements and to
further analyze the ability of our operations to generate future
operating cash flow, we evaluated our historical performance, as
well as our expected performance for the remainder of 2005 and
the full year of 2006, as a basis for determining whether our
Company should be considered to have operational, liquidity and
other concerns that might raise doubts about our continuance and
ability to meet future financial obligations. Among the items
considered in this analysis were the historical losses, the
significance of the restructuring charges, the completeness of
the restructuring, the historical performance of our expedited
(Express-1) and dedicated operations and the availability and
adequacy of our liquidity and capital resources. In the opinion
of our management, based upon the above analysis, our Company
should be considered as a going concern.
To ensure that our Company has adequate near-term liquidity, our
wholly owned operating subsidiary, Express-1 entered into new
agreements on November 4, 2005 with Chemical Bank, a
Michigan banking corporation, under which Chemical Bank extended
an asset-based line of credit to Express-1 with Segmentz acting
as guarantor. Under the loan documents, Express-1 may draw down
under the line of credit the lesser of $6,000,000 or 80% of the
eligible accounts receivable of Express-1, Inc, plus $800,000.
The additional $800,000 is available based upon the granting of
a security interest in our Buchanan, Michigan facility and
further subject to the retirement of the Fifth Third mortgage on
this same facility. All obligations of Express-1 under the
agreements are secured by the accounts receivable of Express-1,
Inc. Segmentz entered into agreements providing for a guaranty
of the obligations of Express-1 under the loan documents. All
advances under the agreement are subject to interest at the rate
of the Banks prime plus an applicable margin that ranges
from negative 0.50% to positive 0.25% based upon the performance
of Segmentz in the preceding quarter. Interest is payable
monthly. The maturity date of the loan is November 15,
2007. The Companys line of credit contains various
covenants pertaining to the maintenance of certain financial
ratios. As of the date of
17
the Chemical Bank agreement, we have available borrowing
capacity of approximately $1.5 million, and an initial
effective interest rate of prime minus one quarter percent
(6.75%). The Chemical Bank facility will be used, in part, to
retire the existing Fifth Third agreement, during November 2005.
As of September 30, 2005, our Company had in place a
banking agreement with Fifth Third Bank, a Michigan banking
corporation. The agreement provided for the extension of an
asset-based line of credit to Segmentz. Under the Loan
Documents, Segmentz could draw down under the line of credit the
lesser of $3,500,000 or 80% of the eligible accounts receivable
of Segmentz and its wholly owned subsidiary Express-1, Inc. All
obligations of Segmentz under the agreements have been secured
by the accounts receivable of Segmentz. Express-1, Inc. entered
into agreements providing for a guaranty of the obligations of
Segmentz under the Loan Documents, which guaranty was secured by
the accounts receivable of Express-1, Inc. All advances under
the Loan Documents have been subject to interest at the rate of
the one-month LIBOR plus 3.0%, payable monthly. The maturity
date of the loan is July 1, 2005, which was extended
through December 31, 2005. The Fifth Third facility
contained various covenants pertaining to the maintenance of
certain financial ratios. As of September 30, 2005, our
Company did not meet two of the required ratios. While
management believes it is unlikely that the bank will demand
payment or perfect its security interest, there is no assurance
that remedies under the agreement would be exercised. As of
September 30, 2005 the interest rate was approximately
6.08% and approximately $1,000,000 was available under the Fifth
Third Bank credit facility. Our management expects to retire the
Fifth Third facility, in November 2005 and replace it with the
new Chemical Bank facility, outlined herein.
We may receive proceeds in the future from the exercise of
warrants and options outstanding as of September 30, 2005
in accordance with the following schedule:

Our strategy is to continue to expand primarily through organic
growth within the expedited transportation market. Our ability
to implement our growth will depend on a number of factors,
which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that
we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. Our
successful implementation will also be dependent upon obtaining
adequate financing. We may not be able to obtain financing on
favorable terms.
We will be required to make significant payments in the future
if the contingent consideration installments under our various
acquisitions become due. While we believe that a significant
portion of the required payments will be generated by our
operations, we may have to secure additional sources of capital
to fund some portion of the contingent consideration payments as
they become due. This presents our Company with certain business
risks relative to the availability and pricing of future fund
raising, as well as the potential dilution of our stockholders
equity, if the fund raising involves the sale of equity.
These contingent consideration amounts are tied directly to
divisional performance of the respective entities, mitigating
some of the risks that might exist for contingent payments tied
to other performance indicators. We will examine the annual
benchmarks for each contingent consideration payment and will
reserve any potential funds due under these agreements at the
end of each fiscal quarter when the pro-rated annual benchmark
is achieved for that quarterly period.

we could pay over the next five years if certain criteria

We have been named as a defendant in several legal proceedings.
Although we believe that the claims asserted in these
proceedings are without merit and intend to vigorously defend
these matters, there is the possibility that we could incur
material expenses in the defense and resolution of these
matters. Furthermore, since we have not established material
reserves in connection with such claims, any such liability,
would be recorded as an expense in the period incurred or
estimated. This amount, even if not material to our overall
financial condition, could adversely affect our results of
operations in the period recorded.

Item 3. |
Controls and Procedures. |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures. Under the supervision and with the
participation of the Companys management, including the
Companys principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operations of its disclosure
controls and procedures, as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their
evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective such that the material information
required to be included in our Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) reports is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
rules and forms relating to Segmentz, Inc., including our
consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others
within those entities, particularly during the period when this
report was being prepared.
(b) Changes in internal controls. There were
no significant changes in our internal controls or to our
knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect our
disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the evaluation
date.
