INDCO, Inc. (“INDCO”)

General. On March 21, 2016,Commission.


Business description
The Company operates its business as two distinct segments: Global Logistics Services and Manufacturing.
The Company's Global Logistics Services segment is comprised of several wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively known as "Janel Group." Janel Group is a non-asset based, full-service provider of cargo transportation logistics management services, including freight forwarding via air-, ocean- and land-based carriers, customs brokerage services, warehousing and distribution services, and other value-added logistics services.

Effective January 3, 2018, the Company executedpurchased Global Trading Resources, Inc. ("GTRI"), a full-service cargo transportation logistics management services provider, which provides freight forwarding via air-, ocean- and closedland-based carriers, customs brokerage services, warehousing and distribution services, and other value-added logistics services. See note 3.

On April 1, 2017, the Company purchased W.J. Byrnes & Co. ("Byrnes"), a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “INDCO Purchase Agreement”) forglobal logistics services provider with five U.S. locations.

Effective March 5, 2018, the purchase by the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock (the “INDCO Shares”) of INDCO,Aves Labs, Inc. ("Aves"). Aves provides high-quality antibodies and other immunoreagents for biomedical research and antibody manufacturing.

The Company's manufacturing segment is comprised of Indco, Inc. ("Indco"), which is a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Aves, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Indco manufactures and distributes industrial mixing equipment.equipment and apparatus for specific applications within various industries. The INDCO Shares represent approximatelycustomer base is comprised of small- to mid-sized businesses as well as repetitive production orders for other larger customers.

Basis of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as well as Indco, which Janel owns 91.65% of, the beneficial ownership of INDCO. The remaining 8.35% ownership was retainedwith a non-controlling interest held by existing INDCOIndco management.

Under The Indco non-controlling interest is mandatory redeemable and is recorded as a liability. See note 2. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


Uses of estimates in the termspreparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") 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 financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most critical estimates made by the Company are those relating to the potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, the impairment of other long-lived assets, the valuation of acquisitions, the valuation of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, gain on extinguishment of dividends on our Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock and the realization of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the contractual amount. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its assessment of various factors. The Company considers historical collection experience, the age of the INDCO Purchase Agreement,accounts receivable balances, credit quality of the Company's customers, any specific customer collection issues that have been identified, current economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the customers' ability to pay. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances that have aged significantly once all collection efforts have been exhausted and the receivables are no longer deemed collectible from the customer. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2018 and September 30, 2017 was $202,000 and $230,000, respectively.

Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (using the first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value.
Property and equipment and depreciation policy
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to amortize the costs of the related assets over their estimated useful lives on the straight-line and accelerated methods for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Property and equipment acquired in business combinations are initially recorded at fair value.
Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are recorded as expenses when incurred. Replacements and major renewals are capitalized.
Business segment information
The Company operates in two reportable segments: Global Logistics Services and Manufacturing. The Company's Chief Executive Officer regularly reviews financial information at the reporting segment level in order to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and the assess their performance.
Revenues and revenue recognition 
Global Logistics Services
Revenues are derived from customs brokerage services and from freight forwarding services. Total revenues consist of the total dollar value of goods and services purchased from us by customers. Our net revenues are our total revenues less purchased transportation and related services, including contracted motor carrier, rail, ocean, air, and other costs, and the purchase price and services related to the products we source. We act principally as the service provider for these transactions and recognize revenue as these services are rendered or goods are delivered. At that time, our obligations to the transactions are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Most transactions in our transportation and sourcing businesses are recorded at the gross amount we charge our customers for the INDCOservice we provide and the goods we sell. In these transactions, we are the primary obligor, we have credit risk, we have discretion to select the supplier, and we have latitude in pricing decisions. Certain transactions in customs brokerage, managed services, freight forwarding, and sourcing are recorded at the net amount we charge our customers for the service we provide because many of the factors stated above are not present.

Manufacturing
Revenues from Indco are derived from the engineering, manufacture, and delivery of specialty mixing equipment. Revenues from Aves are derived from the sale of high-quality antibodies and other immunoreagents for biomedical research and antibody manufacturing. Payments are received by either credit card or invoice by the Company. A significant portion of Indco sales come from print- and web-based catalog and specification features. Such online sales are generally credit card purchases. Revenues from Indco and Aves are recognized when products are shipped and risk of loss transfers to the carrier(s) used.
Income per common share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of common shares was $11,000,000, subjectoutstanding, excluding unvested restricted stock, during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share reflects the additional dilution from potential issuances of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants or the vesting of restricted stock units. The treasury stock method is used to calculate the potential dilutive effect of these common stock equivalents. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-based compensation to employees
Equity classified share-based awards

The Company recognizes compensation expense for stock-based payments granted based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with ASC (“Accounting Standards Codification”) Topic 718, "Compensation-Stock Compensation." For employee stock-based awards, we calculate the fair value of the award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes method for stock options and the quoted price of our common stock for restricted shares; the expense is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest.

Stock-based compensation to non-employees

Liability classified share-based awards

The Company maintains other share unit compensation grants for shares of Indco, the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, which vest over a period of up to three years following their grant. The shares contain certain closingput features where the Company is either required or expects to settle vested awards on a cash basis.

These awards are classified as liability awards, measured at fair value at the date of grant and re-measured at fair value at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date. The determination of the fair value of the share units under these plans is described in note 8. The fair value of the awards is expensed over the respective vesting period of the individual awards with recognition of a corresponding liability. Changes in fair value after vesting are recognized through compensation expense. Compensation expense reflects estimates of the number of instruments expected to vest. The impact of forfeitures and fair value revisions, if any, are recognized in earnings such that the cumulative expense reflects the revisions, with a corresponding adjustment to the settlement liability. Liability-classified share unit liabilities due within 12 months of the reporting date are presented in trade and other payables while settlements due beyond 12 months of the reporting date are presented in non-current liabilities.

Non-employee share-based awards

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50 "Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees." Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees are based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transactions are determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date. The Company believes that the fair value of the stock-based award is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value of the granted stock-based awards is remeasured at each reporting date and expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award.
Mandatorily Redeemable Non-Controlling Interests
The non-controlling interests that are reflected as mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements consist of non-controlling interests related to the Indco acquisition whose owners have certain redemption rights that allow them to require the Company to purchase the non-controlling interests of those owners upon certain events outside the control of the Company, including upon the death of the holder. The Company will be required to purchase 20% of the 8.45% mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest at the option of the holder beginning on the third anniversary of the date of the Indco acquisition.On the date the Company acquires the controlling interest in a business combination, the fair value of the non-controlling interest is recorded in the long-term liabilities section of the consolidated balance sheet under the caption "Mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests." The mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest is adjusted each reporting period to its then current redemption value, based on the predetermined formula defined in the respective agreement. The Company reflects any adjustment in the redemption value and any earnings attributable to the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest in its consolidated statements of operations by recording the adjustments and customary indemnifications, representationsearnings to other income and warranties.expense in the caption " change in fair value of mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest."

Income taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. 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 tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the period in which related temporary differences become deductible. The benefit of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company's income tax returns are recognized in the consolidated financial statements if such positions are more likely than not of being sustained.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”), which significantly changes the existing U.S. tax laws, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, a move from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, as well as other changes. As a result of enactment of the legislation, the Company recorded an additional one-time income tax benefit of $49,284 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating losses.

Recent accounting pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires entities to recognize revenue in a way that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entities expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The FASB subsequently issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-10 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and may be adopted earlier, but not before December 15, 2017. The revenue standards are required to be adopted by taking either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The Company anticipates the adoption of this standard may change the timing of revenue recognition for our transportation business from at delivery to over the transit period as our performance obligation is completed. Due to the short transit period of many of our performance obligations, we do not expect this change to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows once implemented. We are currently assessing the necessary system, process, and internal control changes that will allow the Company to quantify the impact. The new standard will expand our existing revenue recognition disclosures upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reclassifications

Prior period year financial statement amounts are reclassified as necessary to conform to the current year presentation. These prior period reclassifications did not affect the Company’s net income, earnings per share, stockholders’ equity or working capital.

(A)Currency Risks
The nature of Janel's operations requires it to deal with currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. This results in the Company being exposed to the inherent risks of international currency markets and governmental interference. A number of countries where Janel maintains offices or agent relationships have currency control regulations. The Company tries to compensate for these exposures by accelerating international currency settlements among those agents.
(B)        Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's assets that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables from customers. The Company places its cash with financial institutions that have high credit ratings. The receivables from clients are spread over many customers. The Company maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectability and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition.

Results of Operations

Global Logistics Services – Three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenues. Total revenues from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $17,963,837, as compared to $15,425,092 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $2,538,745, or 16.5%.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The increase is due to revenue of $1,104,742 derived from Byrnes customers and $1,434,003 derived from new and existing non-Byrnes customers.

Forwarding Expenses. Total forwarding expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $14,455,926, as compared to $12,157,139 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $2,298,787, or 18.9%. The increase is due to forwarding expenses of $691,411 attributable to Byrnes customers and $1,607,376 associated with new and existing non-Byrnes customers.

Certain items have been categorized as “corporate” expenses attributable to overall management of the Company and other non-segment specific activities. These expenses are discussed below under “Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.” The following discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Global Logistics Service segment excludes these “corporate” items.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $2,870,235, as compared to $2,613,697 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $256,538, or 9.8%. The increase primarily is due to additional selling, general and administrative costs associated with the integration of the Byrnes offices. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were 16.0%, as compared to 16.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $116,672, as compared to $120,988 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($4,316), or (3.6%). The decrease was due to an improvement in working capital for the period that lowered average borrowings against the Presidential Borrowing Facility referenced below.

Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes. As a result of the above, income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $521,004, as compared to $533,268 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($12,264), or (2.3%).

Manufacturing – Three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenues. Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $2,283,041, as compared to $2,080,361 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $202,680, or 9.7%. The increase primarily is due to growth in demand for core INDCO manufactured mixer products.

Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $989,313 as compared to $961,587 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $27,726, or 2.9%. The increase primarily is due to costs associated with meeting the growth in demand described above.

Gross Margin. Total gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,293,728, as compared to $1,118,774 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $174,954, or 15.6%. As a percentage of revenue, gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 56.7%, as compared to 53.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase primarily is due to growth in sales of relatively higher margin products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $635,680, as compared to $594,186 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $41,494 or 7.0%. The increase primarily is due to additional sales expenses associated with the growth of the business.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $67,608 as compared to $78,904 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($11,296), or (14.3%). The decrease is due to paydown of principal on the First Merchants Bank Borrowing Facility referenced below.

Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes. As a result of the above, income from continuing operations before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $587,940, as compared to $443,184 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $144,756, or 32.7%.

Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total corporate selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $496,396, as compared to $253,053 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $243,343, or 96.2%. The increase is due to the recategorization of certain costs, previously included in the Global Logistics Services segment, as “corporate” costs. These include primarily the salaries of executives whose responsibilities have shifted from the Global Logistics Service segment to Janel Corporation corporate development.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.Total amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $193,166 as compared to $200,737 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($7,571), or (3.8%). The decrease is due to an amortization adjustment related to INDCO in the first quarter following the INDCO acquisition.

Net Loss. As a result of the above, net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was ($689,562), as compared to ($453,790) for the three months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($235,772) or (52.0%).

Consolidated income taxes – Three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

The company recorded a net income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2017 of $129,419, as compared to $36,604 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Global Logistics Services – Nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenues. Total revenues from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $49,499,193, as compared to $53,935,789 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($4,436,596), or (8.2%). The decrease primarily is due to the loss of a low-margin, high-revenue customer, offset by revenues from new customers, including those derived from the Byrnes acquisition.

Forwarding Expenses. Total forwarding expenses from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $39,810,183 as compared to $44,171,758 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($4,361,575), or (9.9%). The decrease primarily is due to reduction in expenses associated with the loss of the low-margin, high-revenue customer referenced above, offset by additional expenses associated with new customer revenues, including those derived from the Byrnes acquisition.

For the current fiscal year, certain items have been categorized as “corporate” expenses attributable to overall management of Janel and other non-segment specific activities. These expenses are discussed below under “Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.” The following discussion of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Global Logistics Service segment excludes these “corporate” items.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $8,001,437 as compared to $8,086,749 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($85,312), or (1.1%). The decrease is due to certain cost reduction initiatives enacted in prior periods. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were 16.2%, as compared to 15.0% for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of 1.2%. The increase primarily is due to the reduction in revenues associated with the loss of the low-margin, high-revenue customer referenced above.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $356,362, as compared to $382,804 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($26,442), or (6.9%). The decrease was due to an improvement in working capital for the period, which lowered average borrowings against the Presidential Borrowing Facility referenced below.

Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes. As a result of the above, income from continuing operations before income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,331,211, as compared to $1,294,478 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $36,733, or 2.8%.

Manufacturing – Nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

INDCO, which comprises the Company’s Manufacturing segment, was purchased as of March 1, 2016. Therefore, prior period data includes only the results of the four months in that period that the Company owned INDCO.

Revenues. Total revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $6,444,205 and $2,792,667 for the four months ended June 30, 2016.

Cost of Revenues. Total cost of revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,888,458 and $1,266,878 for the four months ended June 30, 2016.

Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes. Income from continuing operations before income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $1,425,954 and $622,610 for the four months ended June 30, 2016.

Corporate – Nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

Corporate Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Total corporate selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 were $1,293,174 as compared to $906,174 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $387,000, or 42.7%. The increase is due to the recategorization of certain costs, previously included in the Global Logistics Services segment, as “corporate” costs. These include primarily the salaries of executives whose responsibilities have shifted from the Global Logistics Service segment to Janel Corporation corporate development.

Amortization of Intangible Assets.Total amortization of intangible assets for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $571,497, as compared to $399,582 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $171,915, or 43.0%. The increase is due to the full-year impact of goodwill amortization associated with the March 2016 purchase of INDCO and additional goodwill amortization associated with the April 2017 purchase of Byrnes. These amounts do not include amortization associated with the INDCO term loan origination fee.

Net Loss. As a result of the above, net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was ($1,864,671) as compared to ($1,305,756) for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($558,915) or (42.8%).

Consolidated income taxes – Nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

The company recorded a net income tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 of $356,257, as compared to $75,181 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General. Our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements, which derive from debt obligations, 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 depend on our commercial credit facilities to fund our day-to-day operations, as there is a timing difference between our collection cycles and the timing of our payments to vendors.

Janel’s cash flow performance for the nine months ending June 30, 2017 is not necessarily indicative of future cash flow performance.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $2,828,686, as compared to $1,039,570 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. This is an increase of $1,789,116, or 172.1%. The increase primarily is due to changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by changes in accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Discontinued Operating Activities. Net cash used in discontinued operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $46,878, which amount was reported within continuing operations in 2017, as compared to $184,845 for the nine months ending June 30, 2016. This is a decrease of ($137,967), or (74.6%). The 2016 figure includes the settlement of a lawsuit involving the Company's discontinued food business.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was $120,132, as compared to $11,042,213 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease reflects the INDCO acquisition in the prior period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was ($1,784,201) as compared to $9,820,642 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ending June 30, 2017 primarily went toward the second of three annual earnout payments associated with the 2014 acquisition of Alpha/PCL and toward repayment of the First Merchants Bank Borrowing Facility associated with the INDCO acquisition. The cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 primarily came from the First Merchants Bank Borrowing Facility and the sale of additional Preferred Series C shares, both associated with the INDCO acquisition.

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 revolving 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% 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. As of June 30, 2017, the Company 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 internally 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.

- 16 -

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.U.S. GAAP. 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 differencedifferences 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’sour estimates.

Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2017 includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The following is a brief discussion of certain accounting policies and estimates.

22


Management believes that the nature of the Company’sCompany'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

policy due to the complexity of arranging and managing global logistics and supply-chain management transactions. 

Income taxes
The Company’s Global Logistics Services segment comprises several wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively known as “Janel Group.” Janel Group derives its revenuesCompany uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes." Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current year and (ii) deferred tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from air freight, ocean freightmatters that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and customs brokerage services.

In its capacity as an air freightliabilities 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 ocean freight service provider, Janel Group acts as an indirect carrier: it does not own any transportation assets. Rather, it purchases transportation servicesliabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.


On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Act”), which significantly changes the existing U.S. tax laws, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from direct carriers (airlines, steam ship lines, etc.) and resells them34% to its customers. By consolidating shipments21%, a move 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 tenderedworldwide tax system to a direct carrier, Janel Group receivesterritorial system, as well as other changes. As a contractresult 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 termsenactment of the contractlegislation, the Company has made a reasonable estimate and recorded an additional one-time income tax benefit of carriage, Janel Group recognizes air freight and ocean freight revenues when$49,284 during the freight is tendered to the direct carrier. Costsfirst quarter of fiscal 2018, related to the shipments are recognized atestimated re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating losses and deferred tax liabilities attributable to intangible assets. The Company continues to evaluate the same time.

In some cases, Janel Group acts as an agent forimpact 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 recognizednew legislation will have 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.

Consolidated Financial Statements.

Estimates

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


d.accrual of tax expense on an interim basis;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 further believes that there are limited, if any, alternative accounting principles or methods which could be applied to the Company’sCompany'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.

Critical Accounting PronouncementsPolicies and Estimates Applicable to the Global Logistics Services Segment

Revenue Recognition
Revenues are derived from customs brokerage services and from freight forwarding services.

Customs brokerage services include activities required for the clearance of shipments through government customs regimes, such as preparing required documentation, calculating and providing for payment of duties and other charges on behalf of customers, arranging required inspections, and arranging final delivery. Revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.

Freight forwarding may require multiple services, including long-distance shipment via air, ocean or ground assets, destination handling ("break bulk"), warehousing, distribution and other logistics management activities. As an asset-light business, Janel Group owns none of the assets by which it fulfills its customers' logistics needs. Rather, it purchases the services its customers need from asset owners, such as airlines and steamship lines, and resells them. By consolidating shipments from multiple customers, Janel Group can negotiate terms of service with asset owners that are more favorable than those the customers could negotiate themselves.

In the case of ocean and air freight movements, Janel Group may negotiate a contract of carriage, the terms of which determine when revenue is recognized. For movements by ground, revenue generally is recognized at the time of cargo tender to the vendor. For other activities, such as warehousing and distribution services, revenue is recognized upon completion of the service.

Net Revenue

Our total revenues represent the total dollar value of services and goods we sell to our customers. Our net revenues are our total revenues less forwarding expenses, which are purchased transportation and related services, including contracted air, ocean, rail, motor carrier and other costs. Total revenues can be influenced greatly by changes in transportation rates or other items, such as fuel prices, which we do not control. Our net revenues, however, are the primary indicator of our ability to source, add value, and sell services and products that are provided by third parties; therefore, we consider net revenues to be our primary performance measurement. Accordingly, the discussion of our results of operations below focuses on the changes in our net revenues.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Applicable to the Manufacturing Segment

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are derived from the engineering, manufacture, and delivery of specialty mixing equipment. Payments are made by either credit card acceptance or invoice billing by Indco. A significant portion of sales comes from Indco's web-based catalog. Such online sales are generally credit card purchases. Revenue is recognized when products are shipped and risk of loss transfers to the carrier(s) used.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

While we prepare our financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we also utilize and present certain financial measures, in particular EBITA, which is not based on or included in U.S. GAAP (we refer to these as "non-GAAP financial measures").

EBITA

Our net income will include material non-cash charges relating to the amortization of customer related intangible assets and 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 earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization, or EBITA, 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.

EBITA is a non-GAAP measure of income and does not include the effects of preferred stock dividends, interest and taxes. EBITA is used by management as a supplemental performance and liquidity measure, primarily to exclude the impact of acquisition-related intangible assets in order to compare current financial performance to historical performance, assess the ability of our assets to generate cash and assist in the evaluation of potential acquisitions.
Companies have some discretion as to which elements of amortization are excluded in the EBITA calculation. We include all amortization charges related to intangible assets. We will not adjust EBITA to exclude expenses specifically attributable to acquisitions, severance and lease termination costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, litigation expenses or stock based-compensation. We do not adjust for depreciation as we view depreciation as an on-going expense. While management considers EBITA useful in analyzing our results, it is not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of income (loss) from operations to EBITA:

Revenue

Total revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $18,180,140, as compared to $15,482,185 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $2,697,955 or 17.4%. This increase mainly is the result of additional revenue from the acquisitions of Byrnes and GTRI.
Net Revenue

Net revenue from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $3,526,730, an increase of $459,699, or 15.0%, as compared to $3,067,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase is mainly the result of additional net revenue from the Byrnes and GTRI acquisitions, which added net revenue of $498,093, offset by a slight organic decline in our base business and a slight decline in net revenue as a percentage of revenue due to mix of business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were $3,028,173, as compared to $2,486,391for the three months ended March 31, 2017. This is an increase of $541,782, or 21.8%. The increase mainly was due to additional expenses from two acquisitions, acquisition integration expense and investment in a marketing program, somewhat offset by a reallocation of administrative expenses from Janel Group to the corporate group and cost efficiencies across the rest of Janel Group. As a percentage of revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses were 16.7% and 16.1% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income from Operations

Janel Group earned income from operations of $498,557 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as compared to $580,640 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $82,083, or 14.1%. Income from operations declined due to acquisition integration expenses and investments in a marketing program, somewhat offset by a reallocation of administrative expenses from Janel Group to the corporate group and cost efficiencies across the rest of Janel Group.

Results of Operations - Manufacturing – Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

The Company's manufacturing segment is comprised of its majority-owned Indco subsidiary, and Aves, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The revenue decrease occurred across our manufacturing product lines partially offset by revenue from the acquisition of Aves, which contributed $81,052.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1,315,359, an increase of $42,739, or 3.4%, as compared to $1,272,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The acquisition of Aves accounted for nearly all of the gross profit increase. The gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 60.5%, as compared to 54.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, with the increase due to a mix shift to some higher margin products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Manufacturing segment were $927,520 and $656,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue due to a product mix shift, a stock-based compensation expense of $120,655 related to new Indco option grants and new expenses from the acquisition of Aves.

Income from Operations

The Manufacturing segment earned $387,839 and $600,857 in income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $213,018, or 35.5%. The decrease primarily is due to a stock option expense in the quarter and a decline in revenue to existing customers, partially offset by contributions from the acquisition of Aves.

Results of Operations – Janel Corporation – Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017

Revenue

On a consolidated basis, the Company earned revenue of $20,355,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $17,841,023 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase of $2,514,401, or 14.1%, was the result of higher revenues in the Global Logistics Services segment offset by lower revenues in the Manufacturing segment.

EBITA

On a consolidated basis, the Company earned EBITA of $60,594 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $787,568 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $726,974 or 92.3%. Just over half of the decline in EBITA is due to stock-based compensation expense and a decline in profits at our business segments. The balance of the decline relates to higher professional fees and higher expenses associated with acquisition activities.

Amortization

For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, corporate amortization expenses were $200,959 and $191,665, respectively. These amounts do not include the amortization associated with the Indco term loan origination fee. This increase is the result of the full-year impact of amortizing intangible assets associated with the Byrnes acquisition and additional intangible asset amortization associated with the GTRI acquisition.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the consolidated Company decreased $75,329, or 39.2%, to $116,838 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from $192,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease is due primarily to a new credit facility with a lower interest rate and a lower debt level in the Manufacturing segment, partially offset by acquisition related borrowings.

Income Taxes

On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $40,921 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to a $137,911 income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease is due to the new tax rate provided for in the Tax Reform Act and a corresponding one-time income tax benefit of $49,284.  On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation through the Tax Reform Act, which significantly changes the existing U.S. tax laws, including a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%. As a result of enactment of the Tax Reform Act, the Company has made a reasonable estimate and recorded an additional one-time income tax benefit of $49,284 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, related to the estimated re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating losses and deferred tax liabilities attributable to intangible assets. In 2016, a deferred tax asset was established to reflect a net operating loss carryforward, which the Company has begun using, and expects to continue to use through ongoing profitability.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

On August 28, 2013, the Company sold its New Jersey freight forwarding and logistics operations, and in June 2012 discontinued its food segment business. As a result, the New Jersey operations and expenses associated with the food segment are included in discontinued operations. The three months ended March 31, 2017 reflect a loss from discontinued operations of ($25,563).

Preferred Stock Dividends

Preferred stock dividends include $15,000 in annual dividends, paid quarterly, on the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and dividends accrued but not paid on the Company's Series C Cumulative Preferred Stock (the "Series C Stock"). For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, preferred stock dividends were $91,317 and $126,344, respectively. The decrease of $35,351, or 27.7%, is the result of the reduction of the interest rate on the Series C Stock. See note 8 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Net (Loss) Income

Net loss was $216,337, or $0.54 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Net income was $240,207, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease from 2017 to 2018 is primarily due to higher professional fees and stock based compensation of $120,655, partially offset by the one-time income tax benefit of $49,284 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the estimated re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets as a result of a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, lower interest expense and lower discontinued operations expenses in fiscal 2017.
26


Income (Loss) Available to Common Stockholders

Income (loss) available to holders of common shares ("Common Stockholders") was ($307,654), or ($0.54) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $113,863, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease primarily is due to higher professional fees, stock-based compensation and higher expenses associated with acquisition activities, partially offset by the decrease to the annual dividend rate of the Series C Stock.

Results of Operations Global Logistics Services - Six Months Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017
Revenues

Total revenues from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 were $35,528,158, as compared to $31,535,356 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The increase primarily is due to the acquisitions of Byrnes and GTRI.

Net Revenue

Net revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $6,918,068, an increase of $736,969, or 11.9%, as compared to $6,181,099 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The increase is mainly the result of additional net revenue from the Byrnes and GTRI acquisitions which added net revenue of $812,348 offset by a slight organic decline in our base business.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 were $5,783,857 as compared to $5,145,458 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. This is an increase of $638,399, or 12.4%. The increase is due to additional expenses from two acquisitions, acquisition integration expenses and investments in a marketing program, somewhat offset by a reallocation of administrative expenses from Janel Group to the corporate group and cost efficiencies across the rest of Janel Group.
Income from Operations
Janel Group earned income from operations of $1,134,211 for the six months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $1,035,641 for the six months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $98,570, or 9.5%. Income from operations increased due to two acquisitions offset somewhat by integration expenses and investments in a marketing program.

Revenue

Total revenue from continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $4,100,384, as compared to $4,161,164 for the six months ended March 31, 2017 a decrease of $60,780, or 1.5%. The revenue decrease occurred across our manufacturing product lines partially offset by the revenue from the acquisition of Aves.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was $2,512,664, an increase of $250,645, or 11.1%, as compared to $2,262,019 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The gross profit margin for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was 61.3%, as compared to 54.4% for the six months ended March 31, 2017 due to a mix shift to some higher margin products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the Manufacturing segment were $1,698,874 and $1,263,712 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of revenue due to a stock-based compensation expense of $120,655, product mix shift, and new expenses from the acquisition of Aves.

Income from Operations

The Manufacturing segment earned $813,790 and $968,395 in income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, a decrease of $154,605, or 16.0%. The decrease primarily is due to a stock option expense in the quarter and a decline in revenue to existing customers, partially offset by a contribution from the acquisition of Aves.

The increase of $3,932,022, or 11.0%, was the result of higher revenues due to acquisitions, offset by lower revenues due to slight organic declines in our base business at both segments.

Income from Operations

On a consolidated basis, the Company earned income from operations of $157,067 for the six months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to $905,642 for the six months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $748,575, or 82.7%. The majority of the decline is due to stock-based compensation expense, a decline in profits at the Company’s business segments, higher professional fees and higher expenses associated with acquisition activities.

EBITA

Amortization

For the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, corporate amortization expenses were $394,125 and $383,331, respectively. These amounts do not include the amortization associated with the Indco term loan origination fee. This increase is the result of the full-year impact of amortizing intangible assets associated with the Byrnes acquisition and additional intangible asset amortization associated with the acquisitions of GTRI and Aves.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the consolidated Company decreased $148,699, or 38.9%, to $233,828 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 from $382,527 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease is due primarily to a new credit facility with a lower interest rate and a lower debt level at the Manufacturing segment, partially offset by acquisition-related borrowings.

Income Taxes

On a consolidated basis, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $40,118 for the six months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to a $179,663 income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2017.

As a result of enactment of the legislation, the Company has made a reasonable estimate and recorded an additional one-time income tax benefit of $49,284 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, related to the estimated re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating losses and deferred tax liabilities attributable to intangible assets. In 2016, a deferred tax asset was established to reflect a net operating loss carryforward, which the Company has begun using, and expects to continue to use through ongoing profitability.

The decrease is primarily due to higher professional fees and stock based compensation of $120,655, partially offset by the one-time income tax benefit of $49,284 during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the estimated re-measurement of certain deferred tax assets as a result of a reduction in the corporate tax rate from 34% to 21%, partially offset by lower interest expense and lower discontinued operations expenses in fiscal 2017.

Income Available to Common Stockholders

Income available to Common Stockholders was $1,078,035, or $1.91 per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and $50,493, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The increase primarily is due to the gain on extinguishment of Series C Stock dividends of $1,311,712, offset by an increase in professional fees, stock-based compensation and higher expenses associated with acquisition activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General

Our ability to satisfy liquidity requirements, including satisfying debt obligations and funding working capital, day-to-day operating expenses and capital expenditures, depends upon future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, competition and other factors, some of which are beyond Janel's control. Janel's 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, Janel does not make significant capital expenditures.
Janel's cash flow performance for the six months ended March 31, 2018 is not necessarily indicative of future cash flow performance.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company's cash and working capital deficiency (current assets minus current liabilities) was $746,252 and $6,850,492 as compared to $987,848 and $6,873,283 as of September 30, 2017. The decreases are considered nominal, representing relatively stable collections from customers and payments of vendors.
Cash flows from continuing operating activities

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,204,193 and $1,010,774, respectively. The increase in cash provided by continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2018 was driven principally by the timing of cash payments to vendors and a decrease in accounts receivable.
Cash flows from discontinued operating activities

Net cash used in discontinued operating activities was $37,547 for the six months ended March 31, 2017. The net cash used is related to legal fees and settlements. There was no net cash used in discontinued operating activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018.
Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,359,202 and $130,607 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.  In the six months ended March 31, 2018, the activity consisted mainly of the acquisitions of Aves and GTRI. In the six months ended March 31, 2017, the activity related to the purchase of fixed assets.
Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $913,413 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and $(1,043,176) for the six months ended March 31, 2017. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2018 primarily includes the proceeds from the sale of additional shares of Series C Stock. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 2017 primarily related to payments on bank loans, notes payable, and treasury stock acquisitions. 
Credit Facilities
Global Logistics Services

Presidential Financial Corporation Facility

On March 27, 2014, Janel Corporation and several of its Janel Group subsidiaries (collectively, the "Janel Borrowers") entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Presidential Loan Agreement") with Presidential Financial Corporation with respect to a revolving line of credit facility (the "Presidential Facility"). At September 30, 2017, the Presidential Facility provided that the Janel Borrowers could borrow up to $10.0 million limited to 85% of the Janel Borrowers' aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Presidential Loan Agreement. Interest accrued at an annual rate equal to 5% above the greater of (a) the prime rate of interest quoted in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, new accounting pronouncementsor (b) 3.25%. The Janel Borrowers' obligations under the Presidential Facility were secured by all of the assets of the Janel Borrowers. The Presidential Facility was terminated on October 17, 2017 and the Company replaced the Presidential Facility with the Santander Bank Facility, the Presidential Facility.
29


At September 30, 2017, outstanding borrowings under the Presidential Facility were $6,138,537, representing 80.3% of the $7,643,380 available thereunder, and interest was accruing at an effective interest rate of 7.5%. The Janel Borrowers were in compliance with the covenants defined in the Presidential Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2017.

Santander Bank Facility

On October 17, 2017, the Janel Group subsidiaries (collectively the "Janel Group Borrowers"), with Janel Corporation as a guarantor, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Santander Loan Agreement") with Santander Bank, N.A. ("Santander") with respect to a revolving line of credit facility (the "Santander Facility"). The Santander Facility provides that the Janel Group Borrowers can borrow up to $10.0 million, limited to 85% of the Janel Group Borrowers' aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Santander Loan Agreement. Interest accrues on the Santander Facility at an annual rate equal to, at the Janel Group Borrowers' option, Prime plus 0.50%, or LIBOR (30, 60 or 90 day) plus 2.50% subject to a LIBOR floor of 75 basis points. The Janel Group Borrowers' obligations under the Santander Facility are issuedsecured by all of the assets of the Janel Group Borrowers. The Santander Loan Agreement requires, among other things, that the Janel Group Borrowers, on a quarterly basis, maintain a Minimum Debt Service Coverage ratio, as defined in the Santander Loan Agreement. The loan is subject to earlier termination as provided in the Santander Loan Agreement and matures on October 17, 2020, unless renewed. The Santander Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain a lock box with Santander in addition to containing certain subjective acceleration clauses. As a result of these terms the loan is classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet.

On March 21, 2018, the Janel Group Borrowers, the Company, and Aves entered into an amendment with Santander (the "Santander Amendment") with respect to the Santander Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the Santander Amendment, and among other changes effected by such Santander Amendment, Aves was added as a Loan Party Obligor (but not a Janel Group Borrower) under the Santander Loan Agreement, the maximum amount available under the Santander Loan Agreement was increased from $10.0 million to $11.0 million (subject to 85% of eligible receivables), the foreign account sublimit was increased from $1.5 million to $2.0 million, a one-time waiver was granted until May 31, 2018 for the stated event of default related to the delivery of the quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017, and a one-time waiver, retroactive to March 5, 2018, of the provision that prohibits the Company from using proceeds of the revolving loan to finance acquisitions was granted for the purpose of partially funding the acquisition of Aves.

At March 31, 2018, outstanding borrowings under the Santander Facility were $6,642,524, representing 73.34% of the $9,057,588 available thereunder, and interest was accruing at an effective interest rate of 5.25%. As of March 31, 2018, Santander had granted the Janel Group Borrowers a one-time waiver until May 31, 2018 for an event of default related to the delivery of the quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017.  Such event of default was subsequently remedied.  Other than as specifically referenced above, the Janel Group Borrowers are in compliance with the covenants defined in the Santander Loan Agreement as of March 31, 2018. 

Working Capital Requirements

The Company believes that its current financial resources will be sufficient to finance Janel Group's 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 internally or through acquisition, competition, and the availability under the Santander Facility, none of which 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 Facility

On March 21, 2016, Indco executed a Credit Agreement (the "First Merchants Credit Agreement") with First Merchants Bank 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 accrues 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 the First Merchants Facility are secured by all of Indco's assets and are guaranteed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board orCompany. The First Merchants Credit Agreement requires, among other standard setting bodiesthings, that may have an impactIndco, 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 in the First Merchants Credit Agreement. The First Merchants Facility requires monthly payments until the expiration date on the Company’s accountingfifth anniversary of the loan. The loan is subject to earlier termination as provided in the First Merchants Credit Agreement.
30


As of March 31, 2018, there were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan and reporting.$3,236,966 of borrowings under the term loan, with interest accruing on the term loan at an effective interest rate of 5.63%. Indco was in compliance with the covenants defined in the First Merchants Credit Agreement at March 31, 2018.
Working Capital Requirements

Indco's cash needs are currently met by the term loan and revolving credit facility under the First Merchants Credit Agreement and cash on hand. As of March 31, 2018, Indco had $1.5 million available under its $1.5 million revolving facility subject to collateral availability and $320,366 in cash. The Company belisbelieves that such recently issued accounting pronouncementsthe current financial resources will be sufficient to finance Indco’s operations and other authoritative guidanceobligations (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 the availability under the revolving credit facility, none of which the effective date is in the future eithercan be predicted with certainty. If cash flow and available credit are not sufficient to fund working capital, Indco's operations will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position,materially negatively impacted.

CURRENT OUTLOOK
The results of operations in both the Global Logistics Services and cash flows when implemented.

Manufacturing segments are affected by the general economic cycle, particularly as it influences global trade levels and specifically the import and export activities of Janel Group’s various current and prospective customers. Historically, the Company'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 particular factor. As a result, there can be no assurance that historical patterns will continue in future periods.
The Company's subsidiaries are implementing business strategies to grow revenue and profitability for fiscal 2018 and beyond. Janel Group's strategy calls for additional branch offices, the 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 introduction of new product lines and wider distribution and promotion of its print and web-based catalog.
In addition to supporting its subsidiaries' growth plans, the Company may seek to grow by entering new business segments through acquisition.
Certain elements of the Company's profitability and growth strategy, principally proposals for acquisition and accelerating 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.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“("Exchange Act”Act")) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information whichthat 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 time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to management in a timely manner. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated this system
Our management assessed the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and have concluded that the system is effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting duringas of March 31, 2018. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting set forth by the most recent fiscal quarterCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).

In connection with the preparation of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management identified the following material weaknesses as of March 31, 2018:

We did not maintain a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of U.S. GAAP necessary to support our operations; and

We did not apply the appropriate level of review and oversight in the accounting for and disclosure of significant, infrequently occurring transactions, such as for business combinations.
As a result of these material weaknesses, our management has concluded that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2018.
31


Our management performed analyses, substantive procedures, and other post-closing activities with the assistance of consultants and other professional advisors in order to ensure the validity, completeness and accuracy of our income tax provision and accounting for complex and/or non-routine transactions and the related disclosures. Accordingly, our management believes that the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q as of March 31, 2018 are fairly presented, in all material respects, and in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Remediation Plan

Our management has been actively engaged in remediation efforts to address the material weaknesses, as well as other identified areas of risk. These remediation efforts, outlined below, are intended to address the identified material weaknesses and to enhance our overall control environment.

In an effort to remediate these material weaknesses, the Company has undertaken the following steps:

 - 18 -·the appointment of a new corporate controller;

 ·engagement of external advisors to supplement the staff charged with compiling and filing our U.S. GAAP results;

·implementation of organizational structure changes that better integrate the tax accounting and finance functions as well as a formalized review process;

·enhancement of our processes and procedures for determining, documenting and calculating our income tax provision;

·increasing the level of certain tax review activities throughout the year and during the financial statement close process; and

·enhancing the procedures and documentation requirements, including related training, surrounding the evaluation and recording of complex and/or non-routine transactions, such as business combinations.

Our management believes that the foregoing efforts will effectively remediate the material weaknesses. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, our management may decide to take additional measures to address the material weaknesses or modify the remediation plan described above.


Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those controls determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our executive management team, together with our board of directors, is committed to achieving and maintaining a strong control environment, high ethical standards, and financial reporting integrity.
