Note 5--Contingent Matter

The Company's former parent (FedEx Corporation, successor in interest to Caliber
Systems, Inc., formerly known as Roadway Services, Inc.) is currently under
examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995, years
prior to the spin-off of the Company. The IRS has proposed substantial
adjustments for these tax years for multi-employer pension plan deductions. The
IRS is challenging the timing, not the validity of these deductions. The Company
is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter; however, its former
parent intends to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments.

Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former parent
on January 2, 1996 (the date of the spin-off) the Company is obligated to
reimburse the former parent for any additional taxes and interest that relate to
the Company's business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such
payments is dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's disputes
with the IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the obligations
under the tax sharing agreement. On January 16, 2003, the Company made a
$14 million payment to its former parent under the tax sharing agreement for
taxes and interest related to certain of the proposed adjustments for tax years
1994 and 1995.

We estimate the possible range of the remaining payments that may be due to the
former parent to be approximately $0 to $16 million in additional taxes and $0
to $11 million in related interest, net of tax benefit. The Company has
established a $16 million deferred tax liability and certain reserves with
respect to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance, however, that
the amount or timing of any liability of the Company to the former parent will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
financial position.
