September 30, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated statements of cash flows
for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 have been
prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations, and cash flows for the interim periods have been made. Certain
items in the September 30, 1993 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the classification of September 30, 1994.
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

F. Acquisitions:
During the second and third quarters, the Company acquired Unimodal Australia
Pty. Ltd. (Unimodal), an ocean freight forwarder based in Australia, Banner
International Ltd. (Banner), an airfreight forwarder located in New Zealand,
and Pace Express Pty. Ltd. (Pace), an airfreight forwarder located in
Australia, for approximately $12.0 million in cash. The acquisitions have
been accounted for as purchases; the cost of which has been allocated on the
basis of the estimated fair market value of the assets acquired and the
liabilities assumed. This allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately
$9.0 million. The results of operations for these companies are included in
the consolidated statement of income from the acquisition dates forward.
G. Short-term Investments:
The Company has adopted statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." As a
result, short-term investments are classified as available for sale and
recorded at cost, which approximates market. The investments consist of U.S.
Government instruments with original maturities in excess of three months.

Included in the results of operations for the third quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1994 are the results from the ocean freight activities which
include the activities of Votainer, which was acquired by the Company in the
third quarter of 1993. The results of the airfreight and ocean freight
activities for the 1994 periods are:

Operating income (loss) $ 9,683 $ 1,053 $ 10,736 $ 27,309 $ (300) $ 27,009
========= ========= ========= ========= ========= =========
Revenues for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 1994
increased 34.4% to $258.2 and 36.4% to $700.9, respectively, over the comparable
periods in 1993. Airfreight revenues for the third quarter and the nine months
increased 36.0% to $226.5 and 27.2% to $621.3, respectively. The increase in
airfreight revenues for both the quarter and nine months was due to increases in
shipments and the total weight of cargo shipped. For the quarter, shipments
increased 10.5% and the weight of cargo shipped increased 38.7% over the third
quarter of 1993. For the nine month period, shipments increased 10.5% and the
weight of cargo shipped increased 30.7% over the first nine months of 1993.
Gross profit (revenues less transportation expense) from airfreight operations
for the third quarter of 1994 increased $13.8 million or 26.1% over the
comparable 1993 period to $66.6. For the nine months, gross profit increased
$27.9 million or 17.5% over the comparable 1993 period to $187.2. The higher
gross profit for both the quarter and nine month periods was attributable to
increases in both shipments and total weight of cargo shipped. The gross margin
(gross profit as a percent of revenues) decreased approximately 2.3% for the
quarter and 2.5% for the nine months when compared to the comparable periods in
1993. This decrease is due to the Company's customers shipping significantly
more weight which resulted in lower selling prices per unit of weight, and
competitive pricing pressures.
Page 8
Internal operating expenses (terminal, selling and general and administrative)
increased $12.8 million or 24.9% for the quarter and $37.2 million or 26.1% for
the nine month period from the comparable periods in 1993. These increases were
mainly attributable to the inclusion of the internal operating expenses for
Votainer and several smaller acquisitions which were acquired by the Company
subsequent to June 30, 1993. As a percentage of revenues, internal operating
expenses were 24.9% for the quarter and 25.7% for the nine months in 1994 as
compared to 26.8% and 27.8%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1993.
The improvement in both periods resulted from the greater efficiencies
associated with the increase in shipments and shipment weights.
Interest expense for the third quarter and the first nine months of 1994 was
marginally lower than the comparable periods in 1993.
The effective income tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1994 were 39.3% and 38.5%, respectively. For the quarter, the
effective rate decreased 1.8% from 41.1% for the 1993 quarter. The higher
effective rate in the 1993 quarter resulted mainly from the Company's
adjustment of its year-to-date effective tax rate to reflect the 1% increase in
the United States Federal statutory rate and losses incurred by various foreign
subsidiaries for which there were no tax credits available. For the first nine
months of 1994, the effective income tax rate was 38.5% which was marginally
higher than the 38.3% rate for the comparable 1993 period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------
As of September 30, 1994, the Company's working capital decreased approximately
$2.7 million to $78.1 million from $80.8 million at December 31, 1993. The
decrease is mainly attributable to the business acquisitions (See Note F).
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 were $7.4
million compared to $3.3 million for the first nine months of 1993. This
increase is due primarily to the construction costs for the Company's new
warehouse and distribution facility in Singapore. This facility is scheduled for
completion in March, 1995 at a cost of approximately $10.0 million, which will
be partially financed by a $6.5 million mortgage loan.
At September 30, 1994, the Company had available for future borrowings $19.73
million of its $20.0 million revolving credit facility. Additionally, the
Company's foreign subsidiaries had approximately $11.2 million available under
various overdraft facilities with foreign banks.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. - Legal Proceedings
-----------------
The Company believes that there are no legal proceedings, other than ordinary
routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company, to which the
Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party. Management is of the opinion
that the ultimate outcome of existing legal proceedings, if adverse, would not
have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.
