Note 3. Intangible Assets

 

The Company purchased the stock of Morris and Smith in 2008, which resulted in the recognition of intangible assets. These intangible assets include the "employment and non-compete agreements" which are critical to the Company because of the management team's business intelligence and customer relationship value which is required to execute the Company's business plan. The intangibles also include their "company operating authority" and "customer lists."

 

The Company operating authorities are tied to their motor carrier numbers that are issued and monitored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The USDOT issues a rating to each company which has a direct impact on that company's ability to attract and maintain a stable customer base as well as reduce the Company's insurance costs, one of the most significant expenditures for freight companies. Morris and Smith have the DOT's highest rating, "Satisfactory," which provides the Company with significant value. The customer lists adds value to the Company by providing an established cliental with established rates as well as predictable freight volume.
