Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1
to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Company's
Annual Report on form 10K for the year ended June 30, 1997.
2. STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FURNISHED
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of
management contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30,
1997, the results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 1997
and 1996 and the cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
1996. The results of operations for the three month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. These results have been determined on the basis of generally
accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those
used in the preparation of the Company's audited consolidated financial
statement for the year ended June 30, 1997.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
Primary earnings per share is computed by subtracting the applicable
periods' required preferred dividends from the net income in order to
determine net income attributable to common shareholders. During the quarter
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, there were no required preferred dividends
to be subtracted from the net income. Earnings (loss) per share and common
equivalent share are then computed based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares (preferred
stock, options and warrants) outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents as of September 30, 1996 were anti-dilutive and excluded in the
earnings per share computation.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED STANDARDS
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new
statement titled "Earnings per Share" ("FAS 128"). The new statement is
effective for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
FAS 128 replaces the presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per
share with the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
potential 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 entity. Had
this new statement been in effect for the periods presented, the Company
would report basic earnings (loss) per share for the three month periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 of $0.05 and
6
$(0.10), respectively. Dilutive earnings (loss) per share for the three month
period ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would be $0.04 and $(0.10),
respectively.

5. DISCONTINUED SUBSIDIARY
Having experienced significant losses in the long-haul trucking
operation, Country Wide Truck Service, Inc. discontinued it's operation.
On December 31, 1996, CW Truck made a General Assignment of all its
assets for the pro rata benefit of all its creditors. In conjunction with
the General Assignment, CW Truck sold all of its rolling stock assets for the
outstanding debt on the equipment. Revenues applicable to the discontinued
subsidiary were approximately $7,600,000, $22,700,000 and $29,100,000 for the
years ended June 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Revenue applicable
to the discontinued subsidiary for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
was $4,293,733.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended September 30,
1997 amounted to $193,000 compared to a net loss of $(96,000) for the prior
year period. The improved results were due to the liquidation of a trucking
subsidiary effective December 31, 1996, and improved results from the
Company's logistics subsidiary, Vertex Transportation, Inc.
First quarter operating revenue decreased 19.4% to $8,497,000 from
$10,547,000 for the first quarter of 1996. The reduction in revenue was a
result of the liquidation of the trucking subsidiary effective December 31,
1996 which had revenue in the quarter ended September 30, 1996 of $4,293,733.
Operating revenue for the Company's Vertex Transportation, Inc. subsidiary
increased 16% to $8,497,000 for the period ended September 30, 1997, from
$7,328,000 for the prior year period.
Operating costs for the first quarter decreased by $2,245,000 from the prior
year period. As a percentage of sales, operating costs for the quarter
decreased 2.4% from the prior year period. This change is primarily
attributable to the discontinuance of the trucking subsidiary partially
offset by increased purchase transportation cost due to increased logistics
business.
Depreciation and amortization expense, as well as interest expense, for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 were $41,000 and $45,000 respectively, as
compared with $259,000 and $175,000, respectively, for the prior year period.
The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense is due to the
liquidation of the trucking subsidiary and sale of the rolling stock. The
decrease in interest is due to reduced borrowings from continuing operations
and an improved lending rate.
Having experienced significant losses in its trucking operation, Country Wide
Truck Service, Inc., a Company subsidiary, discontinued its operation on
December 31, 1996, and began an orderly liquidation process. On December
31, 1996, a General Assignment of all assets of CW Truck was made for the pro
rata benefit of all creditors. In conjunction with the General Assignment,
on December 31, 1996, all of the rolling stock assets were sold for the
outstanding debt on the equipment. The Company maintains a continuing
corporate guarantee on the debt secured by the rolling stock. Results of
operation for CW Truck have been classified as continuing operations in the
Company's financial statement for all periods presented.
The increase in sales for the Company's Vertex Transportation, Inc.
subsidiary for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 of $8,497,000 from
$7,328,000 in the prior year period resulted in an increase in that
subsidiary's net income of 27.4% to $304,148 from $238,687.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
On April 29, 1997, the Company, through its Vertex Transportation, Inc.
subsidiary, secured new financing with a commercial bank. The new facility
is a three year contract which allows for borrowing of up to $4,000,000 which
is limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable. The agreement bears an
interest rate at the bank's prime lending rate plus 2 1/2% and is secured by
essentially all of the Company's assets.
8
Effective April 29, 1997 the Company's previous revolving credit line in the
amount of $2,173,171 was paid. As of September 30, 1997 the Company had
borrowings of $2,635,909 and unused borrowing capacity of $1,033,413 under
the new credit facility.
At September 30, 1997, the Company's ratio of current assets to current
liabilities and its debt to equity were 1:1 and 247.7:1, respectively, as
compared to 0.9:1 and (44):1, respectively at June 30, 1997.
The Company ended the September 30, 1997 period with $10,000 of cash and
working capital of $423,000. Based upon the Company's expected cash flow from
operations and funds available as of April 29, 1997, from its new credit
facility, management believes that the Company's capital resources are
sufficient to meet its presently anticipated operating needs.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the Company discontinued it's
product sales segment which was operated by the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary, Nationwide Produce Co., since July 1992 when the Company acquired
all of the outstanding stock of Nationwide from Martrade Ltd. The Company's
discontinuance of the product sales segment culminated in the filing of a
General Assignment during September 1995 of all assets of Nationwide Produce
Co. for the pro rata benefit of all creditors of the subsidiary.
During the quarter ended December 31, 1996, the Company discontinued all
operations relating to it's wholly owned subsidiary, CW Truck. On December
31, 1996 the Company made a General Assignment of all the assets of CW Truck
for the pro rata benefit of all creditors of the subsidiary. In conjunction
with the General Assignment the Company, on December 31, 1996, sold all the
rolling stock assets of the Company for all the outstanding debt on the
equipment.
