                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Members of Global Materials Services LLC
(formerly Mid-South Terminal Company)


In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors, the
accompanying consolidated statements of financial position and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in members' equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Global Materials Services LLC (the Company) and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Arrow Terminals BV,
Vlissingen (Arrow BV), a wholly-owned subsidiary, which statements reflect total
assets of 1 percent and 8 percent of the related consolidated totals as of
December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and total revenues of 7 percent and 6
percent of the related consolidated totals for the years then ended. Those
statements were audited by other auditors whose report thereon has been
furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Arrow BV, is based solely on the report of the other
auditors. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes 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 audits and the report of
other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

GLOBAL MATERIALS SERVICES LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue for transfer and handling and for material
processing activity when the service is complete. The Company recognizes revenue
for storage and space rental and for equipment rental and contract labor when it
is due from customers.

INVESTMENT IN JOINT VENTURES

The Company and Builders Transportation Company ("Builders") operate a joint
venture that provides local trucking services, Mid-South Port Transportation,
LLC ("MSPT"). Profits and losses are allocated to the Company and Builders in
proportion to their respective ownership interests (each partner holds a 50%
interest). During 2001, the Company entered into a joint venture that provided
them a 33% ownership interest in Global Materials Services Venezuela C.A.
("GMSV"). GMSV is still in the start up phase and has not begun operations. The
Company accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting.

FAVORABLE LEASEHOLDS

Assets contributed or acquired subject to favorable operating leases are
amortized over the life of related lease agreements. Accumulated amortization
was approximately $857,479 and $727,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.

GOODWILL

Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets
acquired through acquisitions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis
over 30 years. Accumulated amortization totaled approximately $2,344,000 and
$1,358,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

IMPAIRMENT

Long-lived assets, including goodwill, associated with assets acquired in a
purchase business combination, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to
be recognized is measured as the amount by which the carrying value of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

Costs incurred in obtaining financing are deferred and amortized over the life
of the related debt. Accumulated amortization was approximately $409,000 and
$262,000 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Effective January 1, 2000, the Company's Members approved a long-term incentive
compensation plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for incentive compensation
equal to 5.0% of the increase in enterprise value, as defined in the Plan, to be
allocated to key executives of the Company at the percentages stated in the
Plan. Vesting occurs over five years, with 33.3% of the benefit accruing to
participants at the end of each of years 3, 4, and 5. Participants will receive
payments of their vested benefit in seven equal annual installments beginning
May 1 following the year of the participant's termination of employment with the
Company. Interest will accrue on the unpaid balances at the rate stated in the
Plan to be paid ten days following each quarter.

INCOME TAXES

Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are corporations and therefore are subject
to income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax effect of
temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their
reported amounts in the financial statements.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has certain financial instruments, which include cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of
these financial instruments approximate their fair value.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Accounts receivable as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 are primarily (74% and 84%)
concentrated with customers in the metals industry. Credit is extended based
upon an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, and generally,
collateral is not required; however, the Company maintains a warehousing lien on
most customer inventory.

The Company recognized revenue of approximately $4,621,000 and $4,591,000 in
2001 and 2000, respectively, on services provided to one customer.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial statements to
conform to the 2001 presentation with no effect on previously reported net
income, assets, liabilities or members' equity.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at historical cost, net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser
of the lease term or estimated useful lives. Normal repairs and maintenance
costs are expensed; major expenditures which extend the estimated useful lives
of the assets are capitalized. Property and equipment consisted of the following
at December 31, 2001 and 2000:

The notes payable to the bank cause the Company to be subject to certain
financial covenants, the most restrictive of which requires the Company to
maintain minimum levels of tangible net worth and certain financial ratios. The
Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at December 31, 2001.

NOTE 4 - SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION

During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company paid $4,492,650, $4,354,400 and
$2,991,000 in interest expense, respectively. During 2001, the Company paid
$152,950 for income taxes. During 2000, the Company paid $1,490,000 for income
taxes relating to the 1999 and 2000 tax years. These tax payments were
associated with taxes payable on the Hill Marine Enterprises, Inc. acquisition,
taxable income at Tajon Holdings, Inc., Arrow Terminals Holdings, Inc., Arrow
Terminals L.P., Global Materials Services LLC, Arrow Terminals Canada Company,
and Arrow Terminals B.V.

Also, during 2000, the Company charged the deferred compensation balance of
$240,000 against goodwill related to the Arrow acquisition since these amounts
are to be paid out of an escrow account and the Company converted $2,000,000 of
notes payable to members' equity.

NOTE 5 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

RISKS

Credit risk represents the maximum potential loss due to possible
non-performance by counterparties under the terms of the contracts. The Company
manages credit risk by entering into financial instrument transactions with
approved counterparties to limit potential exposure. Credit risk may occur when
there is a gain in the fair value of the financial instrument and the
counterparty fails to perform according to the terms of the contract and/or when
the collateral proves to be of insufficient value.

Market risk is the possibility that future changes in markets or prices might
decrease the value of the Company's position. The measurement of market risk
associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and
offsetting on and off-balance sheet hedges or positions are aggregated, and the
resulting net positions are identified.

GLOBAL MATERIALS SERVICES LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

The Company has certain interest rate swap agreements, which are hedge
instruments accounted for under Statement of Financial Standards No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," adopted by the
Company on January 1, 2001. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires the recognition
of all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company's
interest rate swap agreements have been designated as cash-flow hedges used to
convert a portion of the Company's variable-rate bank debt to fixed rates and
thereby minimize earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility.
Changes in fair vale of interest-rate swaps are recorded in other comprehensive
loss, until earnings are affected by the variability of actual cash flows. The
Company has four interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $35,625,869
at December 31, 2001. As of December 31, 2001, deferred losses on interest rate
swaps, net of $57,823 in deferred taxes, totaled $2,093,780 and were included in
other comprehensive loss. At the end of 2001, amounts to be included in the
statement of income within the next twelve months associated with the provisions
of SFAS No. 133 are not expected to be material.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" for the Company's subsidiaries that are
corporations. SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the
financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax
rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

The components of the Company's income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

NOTE 11 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 141, Business Combinations. SFAS
No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business
combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Goodwill and certain intangible
assets will remain on the balance sheet and not be amortized. On an annual
basis, and when there is reason to suspect that their values have been
diminished or impaired, these assets must be tested for impairment, and
write-downs my be necessary. The Company will apply the provisions of SFAS No.
141 to any future business combinations.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. SFAS No. 142 changes the accounting for goodwill and other
indefinite-lived intangible assets from an amortization method to an
impairment-only approach. Amortization of goodwill and other indefinite-lived
intangible assets will cease upon adoption of this statement. Management of the
Company is currently analyzing the impact of SFAS No. 142 and cannot estimate
the impact of adoption at this time.

In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets effective for years beginning after December 15,
2001. This Statement supersedes SFAS 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of, but retains the fundamental provision of
SFAS 121 for recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets
to be held and used and measurement of long-lived assets to be held for sale.
The statement requires that whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that a long-lived asset's carrying value may not be recoverable, the asset
should be tested for recoverability. The statement also requires that a
long-lived asset classified as held for sale should be carried at the lower of
its carrying value or fair value, less cost to sell. Management of the Company
is currently analyzing the impact of SFAS No. 121 and cannot estimate the impact
of adoption at this time.
