Our strong cash flow from operations will allow us to finance our organic growth as we evaluate strategic acquisitions in our industry.

Second Quarter Fiscal Results
Revenue for the fiscal second quarter, ended September 30, 2011, grew 144.7% to $11.8 million from the $4.8 million seen for the corresponding quarter last year. The growth is mainly due to the acquisition of Cross Creek Trucking, Inc. on April 1,2011, growth seen in freight revenue in correlation with the United State’s economy, and positive effects from the Company’s growing brokerage operations.
Operating expenses for the fiscal second quarter, ended September 30, 2011, increased by 132.5% to $11.8 million, in comparison to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was less than the increase seen for revenue due to the increase in fuel costs and transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Cross Creek Trucking, along with higher wages, benefits, salaries, and general and administrative costs. Administrative and general costs for the three months ended September 20, 2011 rose by 147% to $1.2 million, in comparison to the $468,902 for the same period last year.

Salaries, wages, and benefits rose 188.5% to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the $1.3 million for the corresponding period a year prior.
The Company has announced a net loss of $1.4 million for the fiscal second quarter ended September 30, 2011, or $0.04 per diluted share. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, a net loss of $301,795, or $0.01 per diluted share, was reported. The increase of $1.1 million was due to the increases in fuel costs, higher expenses in association with the acquisition of Cross Creek Trucking, Inc. and increased interest and operating expenses.

We are achieving cost savings and efficiencies through the elimination of overlapping lanes, better customer utilization and lowering our fleet maintenance costs through bulk buying and nationwide service contracts. Our network of subsidiary companies is benefitting from our state-of-the-art trucking technology platform, which is helping us run more efficiently while controlling overhead. We are excited by the growth prospects for our business going forward and see solid opportunities to acquire additional niche trucking players and integrate them into our growing network.”
