Highlight of Business Operations:

Cost of products increased by $2.3 million, or 154.3%, to $3.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.5 million in the same period in 2010. Gross profit for products was $3.1 million in 2011 compared to $1.0 million in 2010. The increase in gross profit was attributable to a $1.9 million (approximately $0.7 million from the Avis transaction) increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit to $2.8 million in 2011 from $0.9 million in 2010 and a $0.1 million increase in the transportation asset management gross profit to $0.2 million in 2011 from $0.1 million in 2010. As a percentage of product revenues, gross profit increased to 44.5% in 2011 from 40.7% in 2010. The increase in gross profit as a percent of product revenue was due to transportation asset management product revenue contributing a higher gross profit percentage of 21.9% in 2011 from 15.1% in 2010 and the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage of 48.8% in 2011 remaining relatively consistent with the gross profit margin of 49.2% in 2010.

Cost of services decreased by $0.1 million, or 4.1%, to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $1.6 million in the same period in 2010. Gross profit for services was $2.8 million in 2011 compared to $2.4 million in 2010. The increase in gross profit was attributable to a $0.3 million increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit to $0.9 million in 2011from $0.6 million in 2010 and a $0.1 million increase in transportation asset management gross profit to $1.9 million in 2011 from $1.8 million in 2010. As a percentage of service revenues, gross profit increased to 65.5% in 2011 from 59.6% in 2010. The increase in gross profit as a percent of service revenue was due to an increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage to 66.8% in 2011 from 64.1% in 2010 and an increase in the transportation asset management gross profit percentage to 64.2% in 2011 from 58.3% in 2010. The increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage is primarily due to an increase in revenues while fixed costs remained constant.

Transportation asset management product revenue increased by $1.0 million to $2.6 million in 2011 from $1.6 million in 2010.

The increase in gross profit was attributable to a $3.4 million (approximately $0.7 million from the Avis transaction) increase in the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit to $5.7 million in 2011 from $2.3 million in 2010 offset by a $0.1 million decrease in the transportation asset management gross profit to $0.7 million in 2011 from $0.8 million in 2010. As a percentage of product revenues, gross profit decreased to 43.0% in 2011 from 47.7% in 2010. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of product revenue was due to transportation asset management product revenue contributing a lower gross profit percentage of 24.7% in 2011 from 49.6% in 2010 principally due to increasing hardware sales and the industrial and rental fleet management gross profit percentage of 47.1% in 2011 remaining relatively consistent with the gross profit margin of 47.0% in 2010.

The Strategy of Ben Graham – Warren Buffett’s Mentor

From 1923 to 1957 Warren Buffett’s mentor, Ben Graham, followed a strategy of investing in net-nets. He said: “It always seemed, and still seems ridiculously simple to say that if one can acquire a diversified group of common stocks at a price less than the...net current assets alone…the results should be quite satisfactory. They were so in our experience, for more than 30 years.”
Today net-nets are rare. They are collected under GuruFocus’ Net-Net Screener. GuruFocus also publishes a monthly newsletter which recommends the safest net-nets. All of these are included in GuruFocus Premium Membership.
