NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

For the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

 

1. Background

 

Summary

 

Coach Industries Group, Inc. (“Coach” or the “Company”) is a holding company which, through its subsidiaries offers an array of financial services and insurance products to commercial fleet operators and independent contractors and manufactures specialty vehicles.

 

Coach owns four wholly owned subsidiaries that operate in three business segments: financial services to commercial fleet operators; third party contract rights management for commercial fleet operators; and manufacturing specialty vehicles. Coach Financial Services (“CFS”) offers financial services to commercial fleet operators. Corporate Development Services, Inc. (“CDS”) provides the services of independent contractors, subcontractor settlement processing and specialty insurance products to commercial fleet operators. Commercial Transportation Manufacturing Corporation (“CTMC”) and Springfield Coach Industries Corporation, Inc. (“SCB”) manufacture specialty vehicles, such as limousine buses, Lincoln Town Car limousines and Ford Excursion limousines.

 

The Company’s long-term strategy is to offer and expand its financial services to commercial fleet operators, specifically the 7,000 courier companies and the 16,000 limousine operators, throughout the United States. The Company will actively pursue acquisition candidates that can support the expansion of these products and financial services.

 

Financial Services

 

Coach offers an array of financial services and products in the commercial fleet industry. CFS offers financial services to CDS, SCB and CTMC customers and other commercial fleet operators. CFS targets small to mid-size business and professionals. The Company plans to offer an array of financial products, including financing for luxury limousines, commercial fleets and high-end automobiles and specialty lines of insurance products. CFS provides various leases, including commercial motor vehicle leases, equipment leases and retail installment loans to commercial customers who purchase vehicles from SCB or CTMC and from non SCB/CTMC customers.

 

Independent Contract Settlement

 

CDS provides the services of independent contractors, subcontractor settlement processing and specialty insurance products to commercial fleet operators. CDS is one of three entities providing independent contractors to the commercial fleet industry. CDS provides services that insulate the commercial fleet operator from workplace concerns relating to employment by creating an independent operator status for the individual drivers. CDS provides specialty insurance products to these drivers, as well as health benefits and other insurance products they require through various relationships with independent brokers. The Company currently provides its products to approximately 6,000 drivers and 250 courier companies.

 

Manufacturing

 

CTMC’s and SCB’s operation consists of manufacturing, selling and servicing specialty vehicles, limousine buses and to a lesser extent, Lincoln Town Cars. SCB manufactures its vehicles pursuant to a Quality Vehicle Modifier Agreement with Ford Motor Company. SCB’s operations consist of manufacturing, selling and servicing Lincoln Town Cars and Ford Excursions Limousines. The operations are housed in a 45,000 square foot manufacturing facility with approximately 70 employees involved in the direct manufacture of the modified chassis for the combined facilities of CTMC and SCB.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Financial Statements

 

The interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements, notes and accounting policies included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30, 2005 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations, for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

 

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic earning (loss) per shares excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if convertible securities or options to issue common stock of the Company were exercised. In calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share, interest expense net of applicable taxes on convertible securities is added back to net income, if dilutive. The resulting net income amount is divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding based on the treasury stock method, if dilutive.

 

The following reconciles the numerators and the denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share computation for June 30, 2005 and 2004 as follows:

3. Related Party Transactions

 

The Company has balances due to our Chief Executive Officer and director of the Company of $27,450 for expenses and cash funding.

 

During May 2005, the Company settled certain obligations with an officer and director and his related companies. All obligations owed to the executive and settlements of related obligations owed by various entities of the officer were considered settled as a result of the agreement. Included was a charge-off of $429,000 of a receivable owed to the Company from a related entity of the

Table of Contents

officer offset by a reduction of a liability due to the officer of $485,000 owed to the officer for his personal guarantees. These balances were offset at year-end and as part of the agreement; all balances due between the related entities and the Company were considered settled.

 

The above referenced settlement includes the cancellation of 556,098 shares of common stock issued a related entity of the officer valued at $684,000 for a payable due in installments over a 12 month period in the amount of $250,000. The Company recognized a gain on settlement of this obligation amounting to $434,000 for the three and six months ended.

 

The officer and director resigned effective May 31, 2005 and entered into a non-compete agreement, whereby the former officer cannot compete with the Company for a period of three years. The Company issued 600,000 shares valued at $396,000 and paid $55,000 for the non-compete agreement discussed above. The cost of this agreement will be amortized over the term of the non-compete agreement.

 

4. Floor Plan and Warehouse Lines of Credit

 

On June 1, 2004, the Company signed an agreement with Ford Motor Company and established a $2.0 million floor plan line of credit, solely for the purchase of chassis inventory. The floor plan was partially secured by an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $500,000. The Company has repaid the floor plan and the balance outstanding to Ford Motor Company at June 30, 2005 was zero.

 

During March 2005, the Company secured a line of credit secured by a certificate of deposit. The line of credit of $500,000 bears interest at 3.3% or 100 basis points over the certificate rate.

 

During June 2005, the Company secured lines of credit with Daimler Chrysler up to $3.5 million; $1.0 million to fund the purchase of chassis for the manufacturing facility and $2.5 million for the acquisition of leases secured by commercial vehicles. Effective July 2005, Daimler Chrysler agreed to increase the lease line to $4.0 million and committed to support the Company’s business plan. The body builder line of credit used to purchase chassis for the manufacturing facility is collateralized by the chassis and also a $100,000 irrevocable letter of credit which will secure up to $500,000 in body builder availability. At June 30, 2005 the balance of the line of credit to Daimler Chrysler was zero. The interest rates charged on both lines of credit are based on internal published rates at Daimler Chrysler which the lowest published rate at June 30, 2005 for a sixty month lease obligation was 6.46%.

 

The Company has a secured guidance line with Sovereign Bank with a balance of $1.3 million as of June 30, 2005 with a total availability of $4.5 million. Sovereign Bank is in negotiations with the Company relating to a personal guarantee relating to an officer and director that left during May 2005. The Company and the Bank are working through the requirements needed to continue the relationship.

 

5. Notes Payable

 

The Company has a Notes Payable to a related party in the amount of $150,000 and $900,000 at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively of which $150,000 to a former shareholder of CDS which matures on December 31, 2005 and $700,000 was paid to former CDS shareholders in January 2005, in accordance with the purchase agreement with CDS. Interest on the $150,000 note payable is paid monthly at a rate of 5.5 percent per annum. No interest accrues on the $700,000 notes payable to shareholders of CDS.

 

6. Convertible Note

 

On September 29, 2004, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Term Note (the “Convertible Note”) with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”). The Convertible Note was for $6.0 million and was funded at various times from the date of the Convertible Note.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES SUBJECT TO ESTIMATION AND JUDGMENT

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. When preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts on our balance sheets and income statements, and our related disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for income taxes, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable in order to form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily ascertained from other sources. Actual results may deviate from these estimates if alternative assumptions or condition are used.
