EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A amends our original Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 (the “Original Filing”). The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to revise the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (the “Report”) issued by BKD, LLP (“BKD”) appearing under Item 8 of the Original Filing, to revise BKD’s consent on Exhibit 23.1 to the Original Filing (the “Consent”), and to remove Exhibit 4.4 to the Original Filing as it references an agreement that was not in effect during the period covered by the Original Filing. The Report inadvertently omitted to include (i) a reference to financial statement schedule II for the year ended June 30, 2014, as being included in the scope of the audit performed by BKD, and (ii) BKD’s opinion that such schedule, when considered in relation to our financial statements taken as a whole, presented fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth in such schedule. The Consent has been revised to correct an inadvertent misstatement of the date of the Report. Exhibit 4.4 to the Original Report has been removed.

In addition, the required officers of Celadon Group, Inc. (the "Company") have provided new certifications in connection with this Amendment No. 1 (Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 32.1, and 32.2).

Except as described above, no other amendments have been made to the Original Filing.  This Amendment No. 1 continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and the Company has not updated the disclosure contained herein to reflect events that have occurred since the date of the Original Filing.  This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Celadon Group, Inc.
Indianapolis, Indiana


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Celadon Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2014.  In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule II for the year ended June 30, 2014.  The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  Our audit included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Celadon Group, Inc. as of June 30, 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule II for the year ended June 30, 2014, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
 
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Celadon Group Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992 edition) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated September 15, 2014, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Celadon Group, Inc.
Indianapolis, Indiana

We have audited Celadon Group Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992 edition) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  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.
 
In our opinion, Celadon Group, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992 edition) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
 
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of Celadon Group, Inc. and our report dated September 15, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CELADON GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012


(1)
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Celadon Group, Inc. (the "Company"), through its subsidiaries, provides transportation services between the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The Company's primary transportation subsidiaries are: Celadon Trucking Services, Inc. ("CTSI"), a U.S. based company; Celadon Logistics Services, Inc. ("CLSI"), a U.S. based company; Servicio de Transportation Jaguar, S.A. de C.V. ("Jaguar"), a Mexican based company; and Celadon Canada, Inc. ("CelCan"), a Canadian based company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Celadon Group, Inc. and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned except for Jaguar in which the Company owns 75% of the shares. The entity was set up to allow the Company to operate in Mexico. The minority owner of Jaguar has been refunded all initial capital contributions and is not entitled to receive any future earnings or required to fund any losses of the subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Unless otherwise noted, all references to annual periods refer to the respective fiscal years ended June 30.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Such estimates include provisions for liability claims and uncollectible accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. The Company maintains reserves which management believes are adequate to provide for potential credit losses. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written off against the reserves. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are generally limited due to the Company's large number of customers and the diverse range of industries which they represent. Accounts receivable balances due from any single customer did not total more than 5% of the Company's gross trade receivables at June 30, 2014.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at fair value at the inception of the lease.

Depreciation of property and equipment and amortization of assets under capital leases are computed using the straight-line method and are based on the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful lives of the related assets (net of salvage value) as follows:

Revenue and service equipment
3-7 years
Furniture and office equipment
4-5 years
Buildings
20 years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of life of lease (including expected renewals) or useful life of improvement
 
 
13

 
Initial delivery costs relating to placing tractors in service are expensed as incurred. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred.

Long-lived assets are depreciated over estimated useful lives based on historical experience and prevailing industry practice. Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever an event occurs that indicates an impairment may exist. Future cash flows and operating performance are used for analyzing potential impairment losses. If the sum of expected undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value an impairment loss is recognized. The Company measures the impairment loss by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraised or estimated market values as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are recorded at the lower of carrying value or the fair value less costs to sell.

Equipment held for resale

Equipment held for resale is recorded at the lower of carrying value and fair market value less costs to sell.  The Company also ceases the depreciation on these assets.

Tires in Service

Replacement tires on tractors and trailers are included in tires in service and are amortized over 18 to 36 months.

Goodwill

The consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2014 and 2013 included goodwill of acquired businesses of approximately $22.8 million and $17.7 million respectively. Under ASC Topic 350-20 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually (or more often, if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment loss has been incurred). On April 1, 2014, we completed our most recent qualitative annual impairment test (under ASU 2011-08) for the fiscal year and concluded that there was no indication of impairment.

Insurance Reserves

The primary claims arising for us consist of cargo liability, personal injury, property damage, collision and comprehensive, workers' compensation, and employee medical expenses. We maintain self-insurance levels for these various areas of risk and have established reserves to cover these self-insured liabilities. We also maintain insurance to cover liabilities in excess of these self-insurance amounts. Claims reserves represent accruals for the estimated uninsured portion of reported claims, including adverse development of reported claims, as well as estimates of incurred but not reported claims. Reported claims and related loss reserves are estimated by third party administrators, and we refer to these estimates in establishing our reserves. Claims incurred but not reported are estimated based on our historical experience and industry trends, which are continually monitored, and accruals are adjusted when warranted by changes in facts and circumstances. In establishing our reserves we must take into account and estimate various factors, including, but not limited to, assumptions concerning the nature and severity of the claim, the effect of the jurisdiction on any award or settlement, the length of time until ultimate resolution, inflation rates in health care, and in general interest rates, legal expenses, and other factors. Our actual experience may be different than our estimates, sometimes significantly. Changes in assumptions as well as changes in actual experience could cause these estimates to change. Insurance and claims expense will vary from period to period based on the severity and frequency of claims incurred in a given period.  The administrative expenses associated with these reserves are expensed when paid.

Litigation

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources, are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
 
 
14

 
Revenue Recognition

Trucking revenue and related direct costs are recognized on the date freight is delivered by the Company to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. Prior to commencement of shipment, the Company will negotiate an agreed upon price for services to be rendered.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred by the Company. Advertising expense primarily consists of recruiting for new drivers.  Advertising expenses for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $3.2 million, $2.9 million, and $2.2 million, respectively, and are included in salaries, wages, and employee benefits and other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Deferred taxes are recognized for tax loss and credit carry forwards and the future tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting, based on enacted tax laws and rates. Federal income taxes are provided on the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the United States.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740-10-25 Income Taxes, in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.  ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.

Accounting for Derivatives

The Company has derivative financial instruments in place to reduce currency exposure for the Mexican Peso and has at times had derivative financial instruments in place to reduce exposure to fuel price fluctuations and currency exposure for Canadian Dollars. Derivative gains/(losses), initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income with an offset to accrued liabilities or other assets, are reclassified to earnings in the period when the forecasted transaction affects earnings. ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values.

Earnings per Share ("EPS")

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which requires companies to present basic EPS and diluted EPS. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Dilutive common stock options are included in the diluted EPS calculation using the treasury stock method.

Stock-based Employee Compensation Plans

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires companies to recognize the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in its consolidated statement of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters. Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Statement of operations accounts are translated at the average exchange rate prevailing during the year. Resulting translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2013-02"), which amends current comprehensive income guidance.  The Company will be required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required that provide additional detail about those amounts. The amendment is effective prospectively for public entities in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Debt

The Company had debt, excluding lines of credit, of $13.3 million at June 30, 2014, of which $3.7 million is classified as current. Debt includes revenue equipment installment notes of $2.3 million with an average interest rate of 4.12 percent at June 30, 2014 due in monthly installments with final maturities at various dates through June 2019. Included in debt is $5.9 million related to our escrow agreement from the sale of lease purchase units sold to Element Financial Corp. that carry no interest rate. Additionally, $4.4 million of debt relates to non-compete agreement payments related to acquisitions that carry no interest rates. The remainder of the balance relates to miscellaneous items acquired through acquisitions that carry no interest rate.

Lines of Credit

In December 2010, we entered into a five-year revolving credit facility agented by Bank of America, N.A. The facility refinanced our previous credit facility and provides for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. Bank of America, N.A. served as the lead arranger in the facility and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. also participated in the new facility. The facility provides for ongoing working capital needs and general corporate purposes. In May 2013, we increased our credit facility and extended the maturity. At June 30, 2014, we were authorized to borrow up to $200.0 million under this credit facility, which expires May 2018. The applicable interest rate under this agreement is based on either a base rate equal to Bank of America, N.A.'s prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin between 0.75% and 1.375% that is adjusted quarterly based on our lease adjusted total debt to EBITDAR ratio. At June 30, 2014, the credit facility had an outstanding balance of $73.8 million and $0.8 million utilized for letters of credit. The facility is collateralized by the assets of all the U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries of the Company. We are obligated to comply with certain financial covenants under our credit agreement and we were in compliance with these covenants at June 30, 2014.

(4)           EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan

The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which permits U.S. employees of the Company to contribute up to 50% of their annual compensation, up to certain Internal Revenue Service limits, on a pretax basis. The contributions made by each employee are fully vested immediately and are not subject to forfeiture. The Company makes a discretionary matching contribution of up to 50% of the employee's contribution up to 5% of their annual compensation.

STOCK PLANS

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based upon a grant-date fair value of an award.

In January 2006, stockholders approved the 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan ("2006 Plan") that provides various vehicles to compensate the Company's key employees. The 2006 Plan utilizes such vehicles as stock options, restricted stock grants, and stock appreciation rights ("SARs"). The 2006 Plan authorized the Company to grant 1,687,500 shares. In November 2008, an additional 1,000,000 shares were authorized under an amendment to the 2006 Plan.  In December 2013, a second amendment to the plan was approved by stockholders authorizing an additional 750,000 shares to be available for grant under the 2006 plan. In fiscal 2014, the Company granted restricted stock grants covering 148,500 shares.  In fiscal 2013, the Company granted restricted stock grants covering 189,413 shares. In fiscal 2012, the Company granted stock options covering 87,500 shares and restricted stock grants covering 187,417 shares.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company is authorized to grant an additional 685,526 shares.

The total compensation cost that has been recorded for such stock-based awards was an expense of $2.1 million in fiscal 2014, $3.9 million in fiscal 2013, and $2.4 million in fiscal 2012. The total income tax benefit recognized in the statement of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was $1.13 million in fiscal 2014, $1.9 million in fiscal 2013, and $1.5 million in fiscal 2012.

The Company has granted a number of stock options under various plans. Options granted to employees have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price on the grant date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The majority of options granted to employees vest 25 percent per year, commencing with the first anniversary of the grant date. Under the 2006 Plan options granted have been granted with an exercise price equal to the market price on the grant date, vest over three years for non-employee directors and four years with respect to all other grants, commencing with the first anniversary of the grant date, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

SEGMENT INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

We have two reportable segments comprised of our two operating segments, an asset-based segment and an asset-light segment. Our asset-based segment includes our asset-based dry van carrier and rail services, which are geographically diversified but have similar economic and other relevant characteristics, as they all provide truckload carrier services of general commodities to a similar class of customers. Our asset-light segment consists of our warehousing, brokerage, and less-than-load ("LTL") operations, as well as our interest in TruckersB2B, which we have determined qualifies as a reportable segment under ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting.

(11)           FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820-10 Fair Value Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in United States generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This standard establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the significant inputs used to determine fair value. Observable inputs are those which are obtained from market participants external to the Company while unobservable inputs are generally developed internally, utilizing management's estimates assumptions, and specific knowledge of the nature of the assets or liabilities and related markets. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect the Company's assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability (dollar amounts below in thousands)

Fuel derivatives

The Company pays a fixed contract rate for foreign currency.  The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on the valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

(12)           FUEL DERIVATIVES

In our day to day business activities we are exposed to certain market risks, including the effects of changes in fuel prices. We continually review new ways to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of fuel markets may have on operating results. In an effort to reduce the variability of the ultimate cash flows associated with fluctuations in diesel fuel prices, we enter into futures contracts. These instruments will be heating oil futures contracts as the related index, New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX"), generally exhibits high correlation with the changes in the dollars of the forecasted purchase of diesel fuel. We do not engage in speculative transactions, nor do we hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.

As of June 30, 2014, we had no future contracts pertaining to heating oil outstanding. Previously under such contracts, we would pay a fixed rate per gallon of heating oil and receive the monthly average price of New York heating oil per the NYMEX. We previously had done retrospective and prospective regression analyses that showed the changes in the prices of diesel fuel and heating oil were deemed to be highly effective based on the relevant authoritative guidance. Accordingly, we had designated the respective hedges as cash flow hedges.
 
 
23

 
We performed both a prospective and retrospective assessment of the effectiveness of our hedge contracts at inception and quarterly. If our analysis had shown that the derivatives were not highly effective as hedges, we would have discontinued hedge accounting for the period and prospectively recognized changes in the fair value of the derivative through earnings.

We recognized all derivative instruments at fair value on our consolidated condensed balance sheets in other assets or other accrued expenses. Our derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges, thus the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and was reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transactions affected earnings.

(13)           DISPOSITION OF MINORITY INTEREST IN SUBSIDIARY

In May 2014, the Company sold its minority ownership interest in TruckersB2B, LLC. The sales price of the transaction was approximately $21 million with a pre-tax gain on the sale of $17.1 million, not including expenses related to the sale.
