ITEM 2.      Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

             On March 30, 2001, the Company consummated a transaction providing
for the sale of certain assets and liabilities of Sureway Air Traffic
Corporation, its air delivery business. The selling price for the net assets was
approximately $14,150,000 and is comprised of $11,650,000 in cash, a
subordinated promissory note (the "Note Receivable") for $2,500,000 and
contingent cash payments based upon the ultimate development of certain
liabilities retained by the Company. The note receivable bears interest at the
rate of 10.0% per annum, with interest only in monthly installments. The entire
balance of principal, plus all accrued interest, is due and payable on March 30,
2006. As a result of this transaction, a provision for loss on the disposition
of the Company's air delivery business has been provided in the amount of
$2,807,000 (net of provision for income taxes of $125,000). William Beaury, a
former owner of Sureway and beneficial owner of approximately 8.7% of the
Company's common stock, is a principal of the purchaser. For further information
