CURRENT BUSINESS
Segmentz, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation, is a Tampa, Florida based
company that provides transportation logistics management services and support for mid-sized and
national corporate clients. The Company serves direct users of transport, storage, staging, warehouse
services and other logistics services.
The Company and its subsidiary Trans-Logistics, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Trans-Logistics"),
have principal executive offices located at 18302 Highwoods Preserve Parkway, Suite 210, Tampa,
Florida 33467. The telephone number is (813) 989-2232. The internet web site addresses are

several niche services within the industry more broadly known as the supply chain management industry,
including transportation logistics, management and delivery. (See "Description of Business - Products and Services").
The Company serves direct users of transport, storage, staging, warehouse service and other
logistics services, as well as larger companies that include Bax Global, Quebecor World Logistics, Inc.
(Quebecor), and CH Robinson, Inc. The Company offers warehouse locations in two facilities covering the
east coast and is attempting to expand to offer smaller satellite facilities to enable conduit and direct
route trucking solutions on a contracted, dedicated route basis to larger clients.
Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the period ended December 31, 2000.
Revenues increased approximately $8,096,598, or 2,184%, to approximately $8,467,230 for the year ended
December 31, 2001 as compared to approximately $370,632 for the period ended December 31, 2000.
This increase was primarily due to (i) twelve complete months to realize revenues in 2001 (ii) growth
resulting from new client acquisition, (iii) growth resulting from the acquisition of the assets of
Q Logistics, inc. (Q Logistics) from Bankruptcy (and clients that elected to utilize the
Companys services as a consequent) and various expansion into related business lines.
Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for trucking services, fuel, insurance,
sales, marketing and general and administrative support increased by approximately $ 8,473,481,
or 2,389%, to approximately $8,828,104 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to approximately
$354,623 for the period ended December 31, 2000. As a percentage of revenues Trucking and transport
related services of fuel, insurance, sales and marketing are aggregated as cost of goods sold
and amounted to 88% of related revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to 92%
for the period ended December 31, 2000, and general and administrative expenses increased from 5%
for the period ended December 31, 2000 to 16% for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Gross margin increased by approximately $922,092, or 2,602%, to approximately $957,518 for the
year ended December 31, 2001, as compared to approximately $35,426 for the period ended December
31, 2000. This increase is primarily attributable to having a full year of operations, increased
sales and client base and efficiencies resulting from increased size that reduces costs as a percentage
of gross sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,298,975 or 6,689%, to
approximately $1,318,392 for the year ended December 31, 2001, up from approximately $19,417 for the
period ended December 31, 2000. This increase was in large part due to: (i) increased facilities
cost to manage the acquisition of the assets of Q logistics;(ii) increased overhead costs resulting
from the period in which the company expanded personnel and facilities to support growth that was
to have resulted from the merger with LMRI, (iii) expansion of sales and business to facilitate
national transportation operations and support and (iv) due to the $225,000 reserve against potential loss
booked against LMRI's current obligations to the Company.
The Company experienced a loss in investment value of $78,999, booked consequential to its settlement
for expenses caused at the time of the recission with Logistics Management Resources, Inc. (LMRI
or LMR), resulting primarily from the value realized by the Company at the time of sale of the
securities tendered in connection with a settlement of claims between LMRI and the Company,
and the value of those securities at the time the Company received them, as compared with no
such losses in the prior fiscal period ended December 31, 2000. (see Financial Statements-Notes 2, 5 and 14)
For the period January 1, 2001 through July 1, 2001, the Company extended credit to Huff Trucking
Company (Huff), in connection with services rendered, and to be rendered by Huff in connection
with ongoing operations. Huff Trucking Company is related to LMRI, a party to a failed merger transaction
with the Company in the 2001 calendar year. At the time of the Rescission Agreement with LMRI,
there remained a balance due and owing to the Company of approximately $265,000, such amounts not
having been paid as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The Company continues to collect
balances due under this agreement and realized approximately $7,000 from clients who had been back
billed for services provided by the Company in which Huff had been advanced funds, expenses or
had billed the Client directly without the consent or authority of Trans-Logistics. The Company
booked a reserve of $200,000 in connection with losses it believes it may occur. The Company intends
to vigorously pursue its remedies and collection efforts against Huff Trucking Company
The Company experienced losses from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes
that approximated $656,421 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, compared with income
from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes of approximately $16,009
for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2000.
The Company operates tractors and trailers, which are owned by the Company or provided by
independent owner-operators, for clients that ship products throughout North America. The
Company has insurance and requisite authorities, licenses and permits that enable it to haul
various types of freight for third parties on an as-needed basis. The Company recognizes
revenues in this line of its business that are directly tied to the relationship between the
Company, its customers and third parties who, from time to time, may fulfill transportation
requirements. When the Company has a client and a load to ship and a third party trucking
company provides fulfillment for that load, the Company bills the client directly for
the gross value of trucking services. In cases where the Company refers a client to a
third party company who provides trucking services, the Company would act as a broker in
such transactions and would be paid by the fulfillment firm a commission. The Company
only reports income as such definitions apply and has provided trucking service and
brokered services throughout the past fiscal year.
For the period ended March 31, 2002 compared with the period ended March 31, 2001.
Revenues increased approximately $444,691, or 26%, to approximately $2,150,380 for the
period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $1,705,689 for the period ended
March 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to (i)addition of the warehouse segment
of our business and;(ii) expansion of the business client base and services offered.
Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for trucking services,
fuel, insurance, sales, marketing and general and administrative support increased by
approximately $ 217,813, or 15%, to approximately $1,665,177 for the period ended
March 31, 2002, as compared to approximately $1,447,364 for the period ended March 31, 2001.
As a percentage of revenues Trucking and transport related services of fuel, insurance,
sales and marketing are aggregated as cost of goods sold and amounted to 77.44% of
related revenues for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to 85% for the
period ended March 31, 2001, and general and administrative expenses increased from 7%
for the period ended March 31, 2001 to 16% for the period ended March 31, 2002.
Gross margin increased by approximately $226,878, or 88%, to approximately $485,203
for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to approximately $258,325 for the
period ended March 31, 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to offering various
services and building value added propositions that were more profitable, as well as
to cost management and budgeting by management that resulted in enhanced trends in gross
profit margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $247,741
or 217%, to approximately $361,843 for the period ended March 31, 2002, up from
approximately $114,102 for the period ended March 31, 2001. This increase was in
large part due to: (i) costs incurred as a result of being a public company;
(ii) increased size of administration associated with two segments of business and;
(iii) additional costs resulting from size increases.
The Company realized income from continuing operations before provisions for income
taxes of approximately $123,360 for the period ended March 31, 2002, compared with
income from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes of approximately
$144,223 for the period ended March 31, 2001.
Although the Company has tax loss carry forward from earlier periods, GAAP accounting
requires a provision for taxes of $25,000 for the period ended March 31, 2002, leaving
net profits of $98,360 compared with net profits after provisions for income taxes of
$99,423 from the period ended March 31, 2001, while diluted income per share from
continuing operations for the period ended March 31, 2002 decreased by one cent per
share to $.01 per share, as compared to $.02 per share for the same period in 2001.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately 248,310 at March 31, 2002,
compared with $39,489 at December 31, 2001. This increase of approximately
$208,821 was primarily a result of the Companys enhanced cash management and
examination of payment and collection cycles to increase free cash flow and
quick term availability of cash.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a $1,000,000 factoring facility with Yankton Factors Inc. that provides for 97.5% advance rate against eligible receivables defined as those receivables which are likely to be paid to the Company within ninety days from the invoicing for services. This facility bears interest of 2.5% for up to 75 days of credit and is estimated to have an annual cost of approximately prime rate plus eighteen percent (18%) to the Company. The facility is currently unsecured and has outstanding balances due of $639,461 at December 31, 2001. The Company has subsequently entered into a factoring relationship with Riviera Finance, LLC (Riviera) that provides for 80% advance against eligible receivables at a rate of one percent (1%) per ten (10) days, which is intended to be utilized as a cash flow enhancement for large credit clients of the Company that have historically paid within twenty days to enable expansion within these clients, and to provide significant revenue increases with minimal capital requirements. This facility provides for the non-recourse sale of approved trade receivables to Riviera and has no outstanding balances due at December 31, 2001. The Company has embarked upon an aggressive campaign to manage cash that has resulted in greater anticipated levels of cash available for operations which it believes will be adequate to fund operations and financial requirements in the next fiscal year. The Company arranged for the conversion of debt due to related parties to preferred stock (See ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS).
Our strategy is to continue to expand through acquisitions and internal
development. We intend to seek, on a selective basis, acquisition of businesses
that have product lines or services which complement and expand our existing
services and product lines, and provide us with strategic distribution locations
or attractive customer bases. Our ability to implement our growth strategy will
be dependent on our ability to identify, consummate and assimilate such
acquisitions on desirable economic terms. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. Our ability to
implement our growth strategy will also be dependent upon obtaining adequate
financing. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms
HISTORY OF SEGMENTZ
The Company's predecessor, WBNI, originally known as Rose
Auto Stores-Florida, Inc. ("Rose"), was organized for the purpose
of operating a specialty automotive aftermarket parts and accessory
retail store in South Florida. Rose began experiencing financial
difficulties in 1990 following its acquisition by WSR Corporation. By 1997
an involuntary petition of bankruptcy was filed against Rose. Subsequent
thereto, Rose and the committee of unsecured creditors worked together to develop
a plan in bankruptcy.
Rose emerged from the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings by filing a
Plan under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on February 10, 1999.
The case was administered by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern
District of Florida (Miami Division) (the "court"). The court entered an order
approving the Plan on April 22, 1999.
The Plan provided for the liquidation of Rose's assets and distribution
of the proceeds to secured, priority and unsecured creditors. The Plan
further provided that Rose would remain in existence, although all capital
stock outstanding as of the date of the bankruptcy petition was canceled.
Under the Plan, Rose secured post-petition financing in the amount of $ 10,000
from Halter Financial Group, Inc. ("HFG") to meet the cost and expense of the
reorganization effort. In satisfaction of HFG's administrative claim for such
amount and for the services rendered and expenses incurred in connection
with the anticipated acquisition or merger transaction between Rose and a
privately held operating company, HFG received 60% of the newly-issued shares
of common stock of the reorganized Company. Creditors with allowed unsecured
claims received a PRO RATA distribution of 40% of such common stock.
The following is a schematic diagram of the history of Segmentz and its merger with Trans-Logistics:

MERGER WITH WBNI On January 31, 2001, Rose completed a merger with WBNI,
a privately held Texas corporation pursuant to which Rose issued an
aggregate of 20,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of
the issued and outstanding shares of the private company's capital stock.
As a result of the transaction, Rose changed its name to WBNI, Inc
("WBNI"). Timothy P. Halter resigned as the sole officer and director
of Rose and the private company was dissolved. The merger was entered
into as the private company had an option to acquire the business
operation of WorldByNet.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation that
provided business-to-consumer and business-to-business solutions
for the purpose of connecting affinity groups. On February 22, 2001,
it was determined by management of WBNI that it would be in WBNI's
best interest to terminate the option to acquire WorldByNet as a result
of its due diligence inquiry into said entity.
On October 29, 2001, WBNI exchanged 5,982,680 shares of its common
stock for 100 shares of the common stock of TRANSL Holdings, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation ("TRANSL"). WBNI now wholly owns TRANSL,
which wholly owns Trans-Logistics, Inc., a Florida Corporation
(Trans-Logistics). Trans-Logistics agreed to pay Turner Capital
Partners, LLC a fee of $75,000 for consulting services related
to the WBNI transaction, which has been paid.
HISTORY OF TRANS-LOGISTICS
Trans-Logistics is a logistics and brokerage organization serving
irregular route, long haul, and common motor carriers of general
commodities. The Company is a Florida corporation and was formed
on April 28, 2000.
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2001
(the Stock Purchase Agreement), by and between Logistics Management
Resources, Inc.(LMRI), Trans-Logistics, Inc., Christine Otten (the
then sole stockholder of Trans-Logistics) and Allan Marshall, the
Chief Executive Officer of Trans-Logistics, Ms. Otten agreed to sell
her shares of common stock in Trans-Logistics to LMRI for:
i) $80,000 (payable $40,000 immediately following the execution
of the Stock Purchase Agreement and 18,000,000 shares of Common Stock
of LMRI);
ii) The value of all Trans-Logistics accounts receivable at the
closing date (with a provision that provided minimum realized value
of $230,000);
iii) Four times (4X) the gross profits of Trans-Logistics, Inc.
(labeled as gross brokerage commissions but defined as trucking sales
minus cost of sales for the period October 1, 2001-December 31, 2001, and:
iv)Guaranteed sale value on 18,000,000 shares of common stock of
the Company.
Subsequent to January 1, 2001, LMRI failed to pay the purchase
price for Ms. Otten's Trans-Logistics shares and Trans-Logistics experienced
losses consequential to its partnership during the time under which
Christine Otten believed the Company was in the process of combining its
purpose and business operation with LMRI. Direct cost of the merger
including legal expenses, accounting expenses, opportunities lost,
cost to finance expansion and client acquisition and cost to examine the
Q logistics transaction in bankruptcy, which were significant.
On August 10, 2001, Trans-Logistics and LMRI agreed to
rescind and cancel the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement
(the Rescission Agreement). Under the terms of the Rescission Agreement,
the Company agreed to a reimbursement of 1,500,000 shares of LMRIs
common stock and a note receivable in the amount of $450,000, which
the Company has an allowance of $225,000 recorded for estimated,
uncollectible amounts as of December 31, 2001. LMRI tendered
a certificate for 1.5 million shares pursuant to the Rescission
Agreement, which was received by Trans-Logistics on August 10, 2001.
The shares closed at $.99, which resulted in a reduction of
general and administrative expenses of $148,500 and extinguishment
of the first part of rescission obligation due to Trans-Logistics
under the terms of that agreement. The shares were sold to the market
as soon as conditions permitted with the intention of maximizing cash
value received while ensuring that shares were sold as quickly as was
practical. There are no current liabilities to LMRI pursuant to the
Rescission Agreement. The Company incurred a loss of approximately
$79,000 on the sale of these shares, based upon the accounting for the
potential share value that was booked upon receipt of the shares and
the subsequent realization of a lesser amount when the shares were
sold. This Rescission Agreement was effective as of July 1, 2001.
As part of the above noted Rescission Agreement, the Company has
recognized a demand note receivable in the amount of $450,000 due
from LMRI, booked as a reduction to general and administrative expenses. The
terms of this note do not include interest until demand is made for payment.
The balance due under the terms of this note is $425,000 as of March 31, 2002.
Further payments on this note have been promised to be made during the
second quarter of 2002. The Company intends to vigorously pursue
collection of the LMRI note.
For the period January 1, 2001 through July 1, 2001, the
Company extended credit to Huff Trucking Company (Huff), in
connection with services rendered, and to be rendered by Huff in
connection with ongoing operations. At the time of the Rescission Agreement,
there remained a balance due and owing to the Company of approximately $265,000,
such amounts not having been paid as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001.
The Company continues to collect balances due under this agreement and realized
approximately $7,000 from clients who had been back billed for services provided
by the Company in which Huff had been advanced funds, expenses or had billed the
Client directly without the consent or authority of the Trans-Logistics. The
Company booked a reserve of $200,000 in connection with losses it believes it may
occur. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its remedies and collection efforts.
On November 1, 2001, WBNI, changed its name to Segmentz, Inc. During May 2001,
the Company acquired the assets of Q Logistics for $367,385. Q Logistics
operated warehouse facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Edison, New Jersey;
Orlando, Florida and Chicago, Illinois. Operations in Orlando and Chicago were
subsequently discontinued. (See ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES).
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
Third Party logistics companies provide customized domestic and international
freight transportation of customers' goods and packages, via truck, rail, airplane and
ship, and provide warehousing and storage of those goods. Many companies utilize
information systems and expertise to reduce inventories, cut transportation costs, speed
delivery and improve customer service. The third-party logistics services business has
been bolstered in recent years by the competitiveness of the global economy, which causes
shippers to focus on reducing handling costs, operating with lower inventories and shortening
inventory transit times. The third-party logistics services sector of the domestic logistics
market was approximately $53.4 billion in 2000. Using a network of transportation, handling
and storage providers in multiple transportation modes, third-party logistics services
companies seek to improve their customers' operating efficiency by reducing their inventory
levels and related handling costs. Many third-party logistics service providers are
non-asset-based, primarily utilizing physical assets owned by others in multiple transport
modes. The third-party logistics services business increasingly relies upon advanced
information technology to link the shipper with its inventory and as an analytical tool
to optimize transportation solutions. This trend favors the larger, more professionally
managed companies that have the resources to support a sophisticated information technology
infrastructure.
By outsourcing all non-core business services to third party providers, companies
can help to control costs, eliminate staff and focus on internal business. Furthermore,
this kind of outsourcing is often done in lockstep with unit pricing models that provide
for a variable price that is less than the current pricing available to a company that is
calculated on a unit basis, enabling a company to price logistics, storage, shipping,
staging and related services into their wholesale pricing matrix and providing a scalable
solution that scales downwards in an off economy, as well as upwards as the market demands.
Such models are popular as risk sharing, a outsourcing concept that has been adopted in
many support and third party service arenas, enabling outsourced companies to build critical
mass, method and pricing efficiencies, and to pass these to clients in pricing schedules
that help these clients build competitive market positions that are measurably more
predictable.

existing systems, to handle distribution planning, just-in-time delivery and automated ordering
throughout their operations, and additionally will provide and manage warehouses, distribution
centers and other facilities for them. The Company also consults on identifying bottlenecks and
inefficiencies and eliminating them by analyzing freight patterns and costs, optimizing
distribution centers and warehouse locations, and analyzing/developing internal policies and
procedures for its customers. The Company has enterprise-wide technology solutions that enable
real-time tracking and monitoring of various products and offers these and other related solutions
under long term contracts to a host of customers. The third-party service platform provides
guaranteed service level agreements (SLAs) to ensure stable, predictable delivery and tracking
of many products through the supply chain. The industry should grow in all segments, especially
during difficult and unpredictable economic climates due to the capital-intensive nature of
warehousing, transportation and technology equipment needed to track and monitor products as
they are shipped, staged and delivered.
CONVERSION OF DEBT TO EQUITY
The Companys credit facility, of which $773,896 was outstanding as of December 30, 2001,
has been converted into 773,896 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share
(Series A Preferred Stock) which bears interest at six percent (6%) as of period ending
December 31, 2001. The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock
of the Company at market or the last placement price of the Companys securities at which
equity was placed with investors, whichever is less (but under no circumstances less than
$.50 per share). Any interest payable under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock may
be tendered in shares of Common Stock at the market price of the Company, at the Companys
sole discretion.
The Company had as of December 30, 2001, $426,898 in demand and term notes payable to
the Companys largest shareholder, (See ITEM 12 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS)
and to a customer of the Company. These notes were converted into 426,898 shares of
Series B Preferred Stock par value $.001 per share ( Series B Preferred Stock) as of
the period ending December 31, 2001. Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into shares
of Common Stock of the Company at market price or at the last placement price of the
Companys securities with investors, whichever is less (but under no circumstances less
than $.50 per share).
FACTORING
The Company factors substantially all of its accounts receivable. During the year
ended December 31, 2001, the Company utilized the services of two factoring companies.
Accounts receivable are sold to the factoring companies with recourse for unpaid invoices
in excess of ninety (90) days old. The most recent agreement provides for the payment of
factoring fees at two and one-half (2.5%) of each invoice factored.
Accounts receivable transferred to the factoring companies were as follows:
Factored accounts $6,056,953
Customer payments (charge backs) (5,417,492)
---------
Amount due to factoring companies $ 639,461
=======
During the period ended December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a $1,000,000
factoring facility with Yankton Factors Inc. that provides for 97.5% advance rate against
eligible receivables defined as those receivables which are likely to be paid to the Company
within ninety days from the invoicing for services, this facility bears interest of 2.5% for
up to 75 days of credit and is estimated to have an annual cost of approximately prime rate
plus eighteen percent to the Company. The facility is currently unsecured and has outstanding
balances due of $639,461 at December 31, 2001.
The Company has subsequently entered into a Factoring relationship with Riviera
Finance that provides for 80% advance against eligible receivables at a rate of 1% per 10 days,
which is intended to be utilized as a cash flow enhancement for large credit clients of the
Company that have historically paid within twenty days to enable expansion within these clients,
to provide significant revenue increases with minimal capital requirements. This facility
provides for the non-recourse sale of approved Trade receivables to Riviera and has no
outstanding balances due at December 31, 2001.
The Company will need to continue to obtain financing, of which there can be no assurance
GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company acquired certain unencumbered assets of Q Logistics, for a purchase
price of $367,385, out of bankruptcy reorganization in May 2001. In connection with the
acquisition of Q-Logistics, the Company entered into a demand note for $245,000. The note
was subsequently converted to Series B Preferred Equity, which provides for conversion into
Common Shares of Stock in the Company at a conversion price of market or at the last
placement price for securities, whichever is lesser. (See Note 8 to the Financial Statements).
The rationale behind the transaction was that warehouse management, inventory staging,
shipping management, electronic inventory tracking and management and other related services
would be accretive to the transport brokerage business, adding levels of captive clients
that the Company could offer various support services to over long-term relationships..
The growth market for third-party logistics support and supply chain management
services continues to expand significantly and the Company intends to combine its
disparate product offerings to customers to create an integrated suite of management
tools, decisioning tools, reporting tools and support services that will enable sole
source and limited source contract opportunities for existing and new clients. The Company
has significant experience, acquired in its Quebecor relationship, which will provide
evidence, to existing and new clients, of its ability to deliver a managed
turnkey solution for staging, transportation, inventory and distribution of products
across the supply chain.
We have acquired businesses in the past and may consider acquiring businesses
in the future that provide complementary services to those we currently provide or
expand our geographic presence. There can be no assurance that the businesses that we
have acquired in the past or any businesses that we may acquire in the future can be
successfully integrated. While we believe that we have sufficient financial and management
resources to successfully conduct our acquisition activities, there can be no assurance in
this regard or that we will not experience difficulties with customers, personnel
or others. Our acquisition activities involve more difficult integration issues than
those of many other companies because the value of the companies we acquire comes
mostly from their business relationships, rather than their assets.
The integration of business relationships poses more of a risk than the integration
of tangible assets because relationships may suddenly weaken or terminate. Further,
logistics businesses we have acquired and may acquire in the future compete with
many customers of our wholesale operations and these customers may shift their business
elsewhere if they believe our retail operations receive favorable treatment from
our wholesale operations. In addition, although we believe that our acquisitions
will enhance our competitive position, business and financial prospects, there can be no
assurances that such benefits will be realized or that any combination will be successful.
SALES AND MARKETING
The Company plans to increase market share by implementing sophisticated state-of-the-art
technology to optimize efficiency, profitability and improve corporate image. The Company
also plans to increase brand awareness through marketing initiatives such as a newly
designed web site, direct mail, advertising, collateral, trade shows, etc.
The Company plans to increase non-asset based agent development program in strategic
locations and cross train sales staff to expand new services to existing customers.
COMPETITION
The transportation services industry is highly competitive. Its retail
businesses compete primarily against other domestic non-asset based transportation
and logistics companies, asset-based transportation and logistics companies,
third-party freight brokers, internal shipping departments and other freight
forwarders. Its wholesale business competes primarily with over-the-road
full truckload carriers, conventional intermodal movement of trailers on flat
cars, and containerized intermodal rail services offered directly by railroads.
We also face competition from Internet-based freight exchanges, which attempt
to provide an online marketplace for buying and selling supply chain services.
Historically, competition has created downward pressure on freight rates, and
continuation of this rate pressure may materially adversely affect the
Company's net revenues and income from operations. In addition, some of the
Company's competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources
than we do.
The Company has identified several direct competitors. These companies offer
each of the individual services that the Company offers. However, the Company
believes these identified competitors offer many of these individual services
merely as ancillary services and tend to focus on one main service offering
(for example, truck leasing, freight forwarding, etc.). These direct competitors
include:
RYDER INTEGRATED LOGISTICS, INC. is a subsidiary of the $4.9 billion transportation
and logistics provider Ryder Systems, Inc. Ryder's primary business is providing truck
leasing services.
MENLO LOGISTICS, INC. is a subsidiary of $5.5 billion transportation and logistics
services provider CNF. Menlo's primary business is less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation
services.
C.H. ROBINSON WORLDWIDE ("CHR") is one of the largest third-party logistics providers in
North America. CHR's primary business is international freight forwarding brokerage.
EXEL LOGISTICS, a British logistics company with $5.3 billion in 1999 revenues, provides
global freight management, integrated transportation and warehousing. Exel's primary business
is warehousing services.
SUPPLIERS
The Company utilizes the services of various third party transportation companies. No significant
third party provider results in over 10% of the Company's revenue.
CUSTOMERS
The Company's largest customer constitutes approximately twenty six (26%) of the
Company's revenue. The top six (6) debtor balances comprised forty percent (40%)
of outstanding accounts receivable balances, and include clients like Quebecor,
Cantex, Inc., Air Ride, Beaulieu, Murphy and Ricoh.
EMPLOYEES
As of April 1, 2002, the Company had seventy three (73) full time employees. We consider
our employee relations to be good, and we have never experienced a work stoppage.
REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company, its suppliers and its customers are subject to changes in government regulation,
which could result in additional costs and thereby affect the Company's results of operations.
The transportation industry is subject to legislative or regulatory changes that
can affect its economics. Although the Company operates in the intermodal segment of
the transportation industry, which has been essentially deregulated, changes in the levels
of regulatory activity in the intermodal segment could potentially affect the Company and
its suppliers and customers. Future laws and regulations may be more stringent and
require changes in operating practices, influence the demand for transportation services
or require the outlay of significant additional costs. Additional expenditures incurred
by the Company, or by its suppliers, who would pass the costs onto the Company through
higher prices, would adversely affect the Company's results of operation.
If the Company expands its services internationally, the Company may become subject
to international economic and political risks. Doing business outside the United States
subjects the Company to various risks, including changing economic and political conditions,
major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, armed conflicts and
unexpected changes in United States and foreign laws relating to tariffs, trade
restrictions, transportation regulations, foreign investments and taxation. Significant
expansion in foreign countries will expose the Company to increased risk of loss from
foreign currency fluctuations and exchange controls as well as longer accounts receivable
payment cycles. The Company has no control over most of these risks and may be unable
to anticipate changes in international economic and political conditions and, therefore,
unable to alter business practices in time to avoid the adverse effect of any of these changes.
If the Company fails to comply with or lose any required licenses, governmental
regulators could assess penalties or issue a cease and desist order against the Company's
operations that are not in compliance.
There are newly adopted and pending laws regarding transportation, whether by air,
sea, freight or rail, which may have an effect on the Company. At this time, the Company
cannot ascertain the full effects of such laws. Internet Regulation - Few laws or regulations
are currently directly applicable to the Company's access to the Internet or conducting
business on the Internet. However, because of the Internet's popularity and increasing use,
new laws and regulations may be adopted. Such laws and regulations may cover issues such
as: user privacy, pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, and characteristics and
quality of products and services.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
The Company has developed Broker/Agent and internal Company software that
enables the management, analysis and deployment of transportation and logistics solutions
over Internet connections or via secure dial in access. The Company maintains all rights
to the code, concepts and visual appearance of this software and is in the process of
cataloguing the unique features of these software products, with the intention of
filing for patent or copyright protection. However, the Company has not filed for
any patents, copyrights or trademarks. The Company name has not been federally
trademarked.
REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS
The Company does not currently intend to voluntarily send an annual report to its
security holders of record.

RISK FACTORS
Purchase of the Company's Shares involves significant risk. An
investment should be made only after careful consideration of the significant
risk factors set forth below as well as information set forth elsewhere in this
Form 10-SB and should be undertaken only for long-term investment purposes by
persons who can afford to sustain a loss of their entire investment. In addition
to considerations bearing on their individual financial positions and the
factors set forth elsewhere herein, prospective purchasers should consider the
following:
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUSINESS
The Company's business is dependent upon a number of factors beyond its
control that may have a material adverse effect on the business. These factors
include excess capacity in the trucking industry and significant increases or
rapid fluctuations in fuel prices, interest rates, fuel taxes, government
regulations, governmental and law enforcement anti-terrorism actions, tolls,
license and registration fees and insurance premiums. It is difficult at times
to attract and retain qualified drivers and owner-operators. Operations also are
affected by recessionary economic cycles and downturns in the Company's
customers' business cycles, particularly in market segments and industries (such
as retail and paper products) in which the Company has a significant
concentration of customers. Seasonal factors could also adversely affect the
Company. Customers tend to reduce shipments after the winter holiday season and
operating expenses tend to be higher in the winter months primarily due to
increased operating costs in colder weather and higher fuel consumption due to
increased idle time. Regional or nationwide fuel shortages could also have
adverse affects.
The trucking industry is dependent upon transportation equipment such
as chassis and containers and rail, truck and ocean services provided by
independent third parties. Periods of equipment shortages have occurred
historically in the transportation industry, particularly in a strong economy.
If the Company cannot secure sufficient transportation equipment or
transportation services from these third parties to meet the customers' needs,
the business, results of operations and financial position could be materially
adversely affected and customers could seek to have their transportation and
logistics needs met by other third parties on a temporary or permanent basis.
The reliance on agents and independent contractors could reduce operating
control and the strength of relationships with customers, and the Company may
have trouble attracting and retaining agents and independent contractors.
Historically, sectors of the transportation industry have been cyclical
as a result of economic recession, customers' business cycles, increases in
prices charged by third-party carriers, interest rate fluctuations and other
economic factors over which the Company has no control. Increased operating
expenses incurred by third-party carriers can be expected to result in higher
costs, and net revenues and income from operations could be materially adversely
affected if the Company was unable to pass through to the customers the full
amount of increased transportation costs. The Company has a large number of
customers in the automotive and consumer goods industries. If these customers
experience cyclical movements in their business activity, due to an economic
downturn, work stoppages or other factors over which the Company has no control,
the volume of freight shipped by those customers may decrease and operating
results could be adversely affected. Any unexpected reduction in revenues for a
particular quarter could cause the Company's quarterly operating results to be
below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. In this event,
the trading price of the Company's common stock may fall significantly. The
Company's significant debt levels may limit its flexibility in obtaining
additional financing and in pursuing other business opportunities.
If, for any reason, the Company's business of providing warehousing and
logistic services ceases to be a preferred method of outsourcing these
functions, or if new technological methods become available and widely utilized,
the Company's business could be adversely affected.
Moreover, increasing consolidation among customers and the resulting
ability of such customers to utilize their size to negotiate lower outsourcing
costs has and may continue in the future to have a depressing effect on the
pricing of third-party logistic services.
THE COMPANY MAY FACE INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES
IN RESPONSE TO TERRORISM
Terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11,
2001 have disrupted commerce throughout the United States. The continued threat
of terrorism within the United States and the ongoing military action and
heightened security measures in response to such threat may cause significant
disruption to commerce. The Company's business depends on the free flow of
products and services through these channels of commerce. Recently, in response
to terrorists' activities and threats aimed at the United States, transportation
and other services have been slowed or stopped altogether. Further delays or
stoppages in transportation or other services could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.
Furthermore, the Company may experience an increase in operating costs, such as
costs for transportation, insurance and security as a result of the activities
and potential activities. The Company may also face interruption of services due
to increased security measures in response to terrorism. The Company may also
experience delays in receiving payments from payers that have been affected by
the terrorist activities and potential activities. The U.S. economy in general
is being adversely affected by the terrorist activities and potential activities
and any economic downturn could adversely impact our results of operations,
impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely affect our ability to
grow our business.
It is impossible to predict how this may affect our business or the
economy in the U.S. and in the world, generally. In the event of further threats
or acts of terrorism, the Company's business and operations may be severely
adversely affected or destroyed.
THE COMPANY MAY SUBSTANTIALLY ALTER ITS CURRENT BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODEL
The Company's current business and revenue model represents the current
view of the optimal business and revenue structure, i.e., to derive revenues and
achieve profitability in the shortest period of time. There can be no assurance
that current models will not be altered significantly or replaced with an
alternative model that is driven by motivations other than near-term revenues
and/or profitability (i.e. building market share before the Company's
competitors). Any such alteration or replacement of the business and revenue
model may ultimately result in the deferring of certain revenues in favor of
potentially establishing larger market share. The Company cannot assure that any
adjustment or change in the business and revenue model will prove to be
successful.
NEED FOR SUBSTANTIAL ADDITIONAL FINANCING
The Company relies on factors to expedite cash flow. There is no assurance
that the Company will continue to be able to factor its receivable or to obtain,
either replacement or additional financing on acceptable terms.
The Company's continued viability depends on its ability to raise
capital. Changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions may lead to
cost increases. Management may also determine that it is in the best interest of
the Company to expand more rapidly than currently intended, to expand marketing
activities, to develop new or enhance existing services or products, to respond
to competitive pressures or to acquire complementary services, businesses or
technologies. In any such case or other change of circumstance, additional
financing will be necessary. If any additional financing is required, there can
be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain such additional
financing on terms acceptable to the Company and at times required by the
Company, if at all. In such event, the Company may be required to materially
alter its business plan or curtail all or a part of its expansion plans. Any
such additional financing may result in significant dilution to existing
stockholders or the issuance of securities with rights superior to those of the
existing Common Stock. In the event that the Company is unable to raise or
borrow additional funds, the Company may be required to curtail significantly
one or more of its marketing and/or development programs or seek additional
third-party funds by relinquishing the marketing, distribution, development or
other rights to the Company's products and services.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MANAGEMENT
There are several risks associated with the management of the Company.
If the Company loses key personnel and qualified technical staff, the ability to
manage the day-to-day aspects of the business will be weakened.
The Company believes that the attraction and retention of qualified
personnel is critical to success. If the Company loses key personnel or is
unable to recruit qualified personnel, the ability to manage the day-to-day
aspects of the business will be weakened. The Company's operations and prospects
depend in large part on the performance of the senior management team. The loss
of the services of one or more members of the senior management team, could have
a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of
operation. You should be aware that the Company faces significant competition in
the attraction and retention of personnel who possess the skill sets that are
needed. Because the senior management team has unique experience with the
Company and within the transportation industry, it would be difficult to replace
them without adversely affecting the business operations. In addition to their
unique experience, the management team has fostered key relationships with the
Company's suppliers. Such relationships are especially important in an
increasingly non-asset based company such as Segmentz. Loss of these
relationships could have a material adverse effect on the Company's
profitability.
The Company's business is highly dependent upon the services of
Management, particularly Allan Marshall, Chief Executive Officer and Dennis
McCaffrey, Chief Operating Officer. The loss of the services of these members
of management could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations
and future profitability.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK
Allan Marshal and Christine Otten collectively own approximately 92% of the
outstanding common stock. As a result, they are able to control all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the
approval of significant corporate transactions, such as acquisitions, and to
block an unsolicited tender offer. This concentration of ownership could delay,
defer or prevent a change in control of the Company or impede a merger,
consolidation, takeover or other business combination which a stockholder, may
otherwise view favorably.
Provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws may
discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of the Company that a
stockholder may consider favorable. These provisions could also discourage proxy
contests and make it more difficult for you and other shareholders to elect
directors and take other corporate actions.
The market price of the Company's common stock may be volatile, which
could cause the value of your investment to decline. Any of the following
factors could affect the market price of the Company's common stock:
o changes in earnings estimates and outlook by financial analysts;
o the Company's failure to meet financial analysts' and investors'
performance expectations;
o changes in market valuations of other transportation and logistics
companies; and
o general market and economic conditions.
In addition, many of the risks described elsewhere in this "Risk
Factors" section could materially and adversely affect the stock price. The
stock markets have experienced price and volume volatility that has affected
many companies' stock prices. Stock prices for many companies have experienced
wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of
those companies. Fluctuations such as these may affect the market price of the
Company's common stock.
VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICES
The Company's common stock is a new issue of securities for which there
is currently no trading market. Although the Company expects its common stock to
be quoted on the NASDAQ Over the Counter Market ("NASDAQ OTC"), an active
trading market for the Company's common stock may not develop or be sustained.
In the event that an established public market does develop for the
Company's shares, market prices will be influenced by many factors, and will be
subject to significant fluctuation in response to variations in operating
results of the Company and other factors such as investor perceptions of the
Company, supply and demand, interest rates, general economic conditions and
those specific to the industry, international political conditions, development
with regard to the Company's activities, future financial condition and
management.
FUTURE SALES OF THE COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKET MAY DEPRESS THE
STOCK PRICE
The market price of the common stock could decline as a result of sales
by the Company's existing stockholders of a large number of shares of the common
stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for the Company to sell
additional equity securities at a time and price that the Company deems
appropriate.
APPLICABILITY OF LOW PRICED STOCK RISK DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
The common stock of the Company may be considered a low priced security
under rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under these rules,
broker-dealers participating in transactions in low priced securities must first
deliver a risk disclosure document which describes that risks associated with
such stock, the broker-dealer's duties, the customer's rights and remedies, and
certain market and other information, and make a suitability determination
approving the customer for low priced stock transactions based on customer's
financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must
also disclose these restrictions in writing and provide monthly account
statements to the customer, and obtain specific written consent of the customer.
With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a low prices stock,
would be to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the
stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and increase the transaction cost
of sales and purchase of such stocks compared to other securities.
CONTROL BY PRESENT STOCKHOLDERS
The present stockholders own a majority of the outstanding common stock
of the Company. Since there are no cumulative voting rights under the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the present stockholders will remain in control of
the Company and will be able to elect all Directors of the Company and the
purchasers of the shares will not be able to elect any Directors of the Company
and they will have no input or decision making authority with respect to the
business decisions and policies of the Company.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following analysis of the financial condition of Trans-Logistics as
of March 31, 2002, and the results of operation for the fiscal year ended
December 31 2001, should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements of Trans-Logistics, Inc., including footnote disclosures, and it
should be understood that this discussion is qualified in its entirety by the
foregoing and other, more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere
herein. The Company acquired all outstanding capital stock of TRANSL Holdings on
October 29, 2001, which owns Trans-Logistics, Inc.
Historical results of operations and the percentage relationships among
any amounts included in the Statement of Operations of Trans-Logistics and any
trends which may appear to be inferable there from, should not be taken as being
necessarily indicative of trends of operations or results of operations for any
future periods.
These and other statements, which are not historical facts, are based
largely on current expectations and assumptions of management and are subject to
a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
Assumptions and risks related to forward-looking statements, include
that we are pursuing a growth strategy that relies in part on the completion of
acquisitions of companies in the non-asset based logistics segment of the
transportation industry, as well as the integration of third party brokers and
agents into our back office, contact and support resources.
Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve judgments
with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. When
used in this Report, the words "estimates", "projects", and "expect"
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that assumptions underlying the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate and,
therefore, there can be no assurance that the results contemplated in the
forward-looking information will be realized.
Management decisions are subjective in many respects and susceptible to
interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business
developments, the impacts of which may cause us to alter our business strategy,
which may in turn, affect our results of operations. In light of the significant
uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included herein, the
inclusion of such information should not be regarded as our representation that
statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date of this
Report, and we do not have any obligation to publicly update or revise
any of these forward-looking statements.
Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of
revenues, income, or loss, capital expenditures, plans for future operations,
financing needs or plans, the impact of inflation and plans relating to the
foregoing. Statements in the Company's Form 10-SB, including Notes to the
Financial Results of Operations, describe factors, among others, that could
contribute to or cause such differences.

Results of Operations
For the year ended December 31, 2001 compared to the period ended December 31, 2000.
Revenues increased approximately $8,096,598, or 2,184%, to approximately
$8,467,230 for the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to
approximately $370,632 for the period ended December 31, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to (i) twelve complete months to realize
revenues in 2001, (ii) growth resulting from new client acquisition,
(iii) growth resulting from the acquisition of the assets of
Q Logistics, inc. (Q Logistics) from Bankruptcy (and clients
that elected to utilize the Companys services as a consequent) and
various expansion into related business lines.
Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for
trucking services, fuel, insurance, sales, marketing and general
and administrative support increased by approximately $ 8,473,481,
or 2,389%, to approximately $8,828,104 for the year ended December 31, 2001,
as compared to approximately $354,623 for the period ended December 31, 2000.
As a percentage of revenues Trucking and transport related services of fuel,
insurance, sales and marketing are aggregated as cost of goods sold and
amounted to 88% of related revenues for the year ended December 31, 2001,
as compared to 92% for the period ended December 31, 2000, and general and
administrative expenses increased from 5% for the period ended
December 31, 2000 to 16% for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Gross margin increased by approximately $922,092, or 2,602%, to
approximately $957,518 for the year ended December 31, 2001, as compared
to approximately $35,426 for the period ended December 31, 2000. This
increase is primarily attributable to having a full year of operations,
increased sales and client base and efficiencies resulting from increased
size that reduces costs as a percentage of gross sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,298,975 or 6,689%, to
approximately $1,318,392 for the year ended December 31, 2001, up from approximately $19,417 for the
period ended December 31, 2000. This increase was in large part due to: (i) increased facilities
cost to manage the acquisition of the assets of Q logistics;(ii) increased overhead costs resulting
from the period in which the company expanded personnel and facilities to support growth that was
to have resulted from the merger with LMRI, (iii) expansion of sales and business to facilitate
national transportation operations and support and (iv) due to the $225,000 reserve against potential loss
booked against LMRI's current obligations to the Company.
The Company experienced a loss in investment value of $78,999, booked
consequential to its settlement for expenses caused at the time of the
recission with Logistics Management Resources, Inc. (LMRI or LMR),
resulting primarily from the value realized by the Company at the
time of sale of the securities tendered in that settlement and the
value of those securities at the time the Company received them,
as compared with no such losses in the prior fiscal period ended
December 31, 2000. (see Financial Statements Notes 2, 5 and 14)
For the period January 1, 2001 through July 1, 2001, the Company extended
credit to Huff Trucking Company (Huff), in connection with services rendered,
and to be rendered by Huff in connection with ongoing operations. Huff
Trucking Company is related to LMRI, a party to a failed merger transaction
with the Company in the 2001 calendar year. At the time of the rescission
agreement with LMRI, there remained a balance due and owing to the Company
of approximately $265,000, such amounts not having been paid as of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001. The Company continues to collect balances due
under this agreement and realized approximately $7,000 from clients who had
been back billed for services provided by the Company in which Huff had been
advanced funds, expenses or had billed the Client directly without the consent
or authority of the Trans-Logistics. The Company booked a reserve of $200,000
in connection with losses it believes it may occur. The Company intends to
vigorously pursue its remedies and collection efforts against Huff Trucking
Company
The Company experienced losses from continuing operations before provisions for
income taxes that approximated $656,421 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001,
compared with income from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes
of approximately $16,009 for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2000.
The Company operates tractors and trailers, which are owned by the Company or
provided by independent owner-operators, for clients that ship products throughout
North America. The Company has insurance and requisite authorities, licenses and
permits that enable it to haul various types of freight for third parties on an
as-needed basis. The Company recognizes revenues in this line of its business that
are directly tied to the relationship between the Company, its customers and third
parties who, from time to time, may fulfill transportation requirements. When the
Company has a client and a load to ship and a third party trucking company provides
fulfillment for that load, the Company bills the client directly for the gross value
of trucking services. In cases where the Company refers a client to a third party
company who provides trucking services, the Company would act as a broker in such
transactions and would be paid by the fulfillment firm a commission. The Company
only reports income as such definitions apply and has provided trucking service
and brokered services throughout the past fiscal year.
For the period ended March 31, 2002 compared with the period ended March 31, 2001.
Revenues increased approximately $444,691, or 26%, to approximately $2,150,380
for the period ended March 31, 2002 as compared to approximately $1,705,689 for the
period ended March 31, 2001. This increase was primarily due to (i)addition of the
warehouse segment of our business and;(ii) expansion of the business client base and
services offered.
Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for trucking services,
fuel, insurance, sales, marketing and general and administrative support increased by
approximately $ 217,813, or 15%, to approximately $1,665,177 for the period ended
March 31, 2002, as compared to approximately $1,447,364 for the period ended March 31, 2001.
As a percentage of revenues Trucking and transport related services of fuel, insurance,
sales and marketing are aggregated as cost of goods sold and amounted to 77.44% of related
revenues for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to 85% for the period ended
March 31, 2001, and general and administrative expenses increased from 7% for the period
ended March 31, 2001 to 16% for the period ended March 31, 2002.
Gross margin increased by approximately $227,218, or 88%, to approximately
$485,203 for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to approximately $258,325
for the period ended March 31, 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to
offering various services and building value added propositions that were more
profitable, as well as to cost management and budgeting by management that resulted
in enhanced trends in gross profit margins.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $247,741
or 217%, to approximately $361,843 for the period ended March 31, 2002, up from
approximately $114,102 for the period ended March 31, 2001. This increase was in
large part due to: (i) costs incurred as a result of being a public company;
increased size of administration associated with two segments of business and;
(iii) additional costs resulting from size increases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $39,489 at December 31, 2001,
compared with $1,709 at December 31, 2000. This increase of approximately $37,780
was primarily a result of the Company increasing in size and having greater average
cash balances as a consequent of such growth. Cash and cash equivalents were
approximately 248,310 at March 31, 2002, compared with $46,425 at March 31, 2001.
This increase of approximately $201,885 was primarily a result of the Companys
enhanced cash management and examination of payment and collection cycles to increase
free cash flow and quick term availability of cash.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Company entered into a $1,000,000 factoring facility with Yankton Factors Inc. that provides for 97.5% advance rate against eligible receivables defined as those receivables which are likely to be paid to the Company within ninety days from the invoicing for services. This facility bears interest of 2.5% for up to 75 days of credit and is estimated to have an annual cost of approximately prime rate plus eighteen percent (18%) to the Company. The facility is currently unsecured and has outstanding balances due of $639,461 at December 31, 2001. The Company has subsequently entered into a factoring relationship with Riviera Finance, LLC (Riviera) that provides for 80% advance against eligible receivables at a rate of one percent (1%) per ten (10) days, which is intended to be utilized as a cash flow enhancement for large credit clients of the Company that have historically paid within twenty days to enable expansion within these clients, and to provide significant revenue increases with minimal capital requirements. This facility provides for the non-recourse sale of approved trade receivables to Riviera and has no outstanding balances due at December 31, 2001. The Company has embarked upon an aggressive campaign to manage cash that has resulted in greater anticipated levels of cash available for operations which it believes will be adequate to fund operations and financial requirements in the next fiscal year. The Company arranged for the conversion of debt due to related parties to preferred stock (See ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS).
Our strategy is to continue to expand through acquisitions and internal development.
We intend to seek, on a selective basis, acquisition of businesses that have product
lines or services which complement and expand our existing services and product lines,
and provide us with strategic distribution locations or attractive customer bases. Our
ability to implement our growth strategy will be dependent on our ability to identify,
consummate and assimilate such acquisitions on desirable economic terms. There can be
no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. Our ability
to implement our growth strategy will also be dependent upon obtaining adequate financing.
We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Trans-Logistics began operations in the fourth quarter of 2000, therefore full
year end information does not necessarily compare like periods. In the financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2001, the following table illustrates comparable operations
results for the partial year ending December 31, 2000 and for the full year ended
December 31, 2001:
Three Months Ended

Continuing Operations:
OPERATING REVENUES
Total operating revenues increased approximately $444,691, or 26.7%,
to approximately $2,150,380 for the period ended March 31, 2002, as compared
to approximately $1,705,689 for the period ended March 21, 2001. This increase
was primarily due to increase in revenues achieved consequential to the acquisition
of Q Logistics from bankruptcy and increase of revenues in the business lines of
the Company.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
Depreciation and amortization increased from $ 24,934 for the three
month period ended March 31, 2002 compared with $ 6,467 for the three month period
ended March 31, 2001. The reason for this increase was the placing of service those
assets acquired in the purchase of Q logistics out of bankruptcy.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
General and administrative expenses increased slightly from $ 114,102 for
the period ended March 31, 2001 to $ 361,843 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.
The reason for this was primarily due to increased size of management and administrative
staff coincidental with becoming a reporting public company, and with the Companys
efforts to increase the size of its business.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $248,310 at March 31, 2002,
compared with $39,489 at December 31, 2001. This increase of approximately $208,821
was primarily a result of the Companys enhanced cash management and examination
of payment and collection cycles to increase free cash flow and quick term availability
of cash.
The Company will require significant capital to continue to meet its
expansion goals over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to obtain the capital necessary to continue operations.
(See "Risk factors-Need for substantial Additional financing")
ITEM 3. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Company leases its Corporate Headquarters, located at 18302
Highwood's Preserve Parkway, Suite 210, Tampa, FL 33467, which is 2,073 square
feet. The Company pays $3,411 per month and the lease expires May 2006.
A lease period begins in May 2001 and expires in April 2006. The
initial lease term is for a period of 5 years and the lease agreement includes
an optional lease period of an additional three (3) years.
Minimum future rent commitments under this agreement are:
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31 AMOUNT
2002 50,979
2003 52,658
2004 49,195
2005 47,292
Thereafter 15,969
------
Total $216,093
=======
As part of the lease agreement the Company is liable for an unused
letter of credit in the amount of $40,000. This amount is reduced by $8,000 per
year and may be drawn upon if certain lease commitments have not been met or
have been violated.
On December 15, 2001, the Company moved the location of its northeast
regional support and logistics center from 40 Brunswick Avenue in Edison New
Jersey to 39 Mill Road in Edison New Jersey. This facility was moved in concert
with expansion needs of the Company's largest logistics support client,
increasing the space from 120,000 square feet to 140,000, the number of trailer
bays for loading and unloading products by over fifty percent and a location
that offers enhanced accessibility for ground transportation carriers. The
Company continues to provide comparable services for this client and others from
its new facility.
The Company has been party to a lease in its Atlanta facility that it
believed to be month-to-month pursuant to data provided by LMR. In cooperation
with LMR, the Company purchased the assets of QLS from bankruptcy and began
utilizing the space in Forest Park, Georgia pursuant to providing logistic services
for clients. The Company notified the landlord, IDI Services, Inc. (“IDI”), of its
intentions to find smaller space and offered IDI an opportunity to provide a lesser
facility size within the facility currently occupied by the Company. IDI informed
the Company at that time that the Company was party to a lease arrangement that had
previously not been disclosed or evidenced. IDI and the Company are engaged in
discussions to resolve this misunderstanding in which the Company asserts that IDI
accepted a letter of credit provided by LMRI as inducement to enter into the lease
with LMR with whom the Company had an arrangement to vacate the premises of its
month-to-month sublease on 30 days written notice. IDI’s assertion included a variety
of material issues, including a representation that the Company was a prime lease
holder with an obligation through May 2006. The Company has secured legal counsel
and continues to assert that any lease documents that exist suggesting the Company’s
prime tenancy are not authorized by the Company, its board, or officers as provided
for in the Company’s bylaws. The Company continues to defend its position in this
matter and will endeavor to reach an amicable settlement pursuant to this issue.
As the result of its purchase of Q Logistic Solutions, Inc., the
Company utilizes facilities located in Atlanta, Georgia and Edison, New Jersey
on an "at-will" basis; monthly rents for these facilities are approximately
$51,000 and $43,000 respectively.
The Company also has six Sales Agent offices across the United States.
These offices are located at:
- RR 1 Box 385, Clinton, ME 04927
- 11448 Rene Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32218
- 7240 Indiana Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76137
- 9 Beacon Hill, East Brunswick, NJ 08816
- 2059 S. Hamilton, Dalton, GA 30720
The Company believes that the condition of its facilities is excellent
and that the provided space is sufficient for its use and operation at the
present time. In the opinion of the Company's management, these properties are
adequately insured, in good condition and suitable for the Company's anticipated
future use.

ITEM 8. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Capital Stock
The Company's authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of
common stock, par value $.001 and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.001. Each share of common stock entitles a shareholder to one vote on
all matters upon which shareholders are permitted to vote. No shareholder has
any preemptive right or other similar right to purchase or subscribe for any
additional securities issued by the Company, and no shareholder has any right to
convert the common stock into other securities. No shares of common stock are
subject to redemption or any sinking fund provisions. All the outstanding shares
of the Company's common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Subject to the
rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any, the Company's shareholders
of common stock are entitled to dividends when, as and if declared by the Board
from funds legally available therefore and, upon liquidation, to a pro-rata
share in any distribution to shareholders. The Company does not anticipate
declaring or paying any cash dividends on the common stock in the year 2001 or
in the foreseeable future.
Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Board has the
authority, without further shareholder approval, to provide for the issuance of
up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock in one or more series
and to determine the dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights
in terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, the number of shares
constituting any such series and the designation of such series. The Company's
Board has the power to afford preferences, powers and rights (including voting
rights) to the holders of any preferred stock preferences, such rights and
preferences being senior to the rights of holders of common stock. No shares of
the Company's preferred stock are currently outstanding. Although the Company
has no present intention to issue any shares of preferred stock, the issuance of
shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares,
may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of
the Company.
As a WBNI successor, the Company is prohibited from issuing non-equity
voting securities under Section 1123(a)(6) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
If there are to be any classes of securities issued in the future, all shall
possess voting power, an appropriate distribution of such voting power among
such classes, including, in the case of any class of equity securities having a
preference over another class of equity securities with respect to dividends,
and adequate provision for the election of directors representing such preferred
class in the event of default in the payment of such dividends.
PROVISIONS HAVING A POSSIBLE ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT
The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain
provisions, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and
stability in the composition of the Company's Board and in the policies
formulated by the Board and to discourage certain types of transactions which
may involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company. In
addition, the Board has the authority, without further action by the Company's
shareholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of its preferred stock in one or
more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions
thereof. The issuance of the Company's preferred stock or additional shares of
common stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common
stock and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in
the Company's control.

PART II
ITEM 1. MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY
AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Market Information
The Company's common stock is listed on the Over-the-Counter Pink
Sheets. Since the Company's common stock has not begun trading, there is not an
established active public market for its common stock. No assurance can be given
that an active market will exist for the Company's common stock and the Company
does not expect to declare dividends in the foreseeable future since the Company
intends to utilize its earnings, if any, to finance its future growth, including

the Company's common stock will continue to be quoted on the "Pink Sheets." The
Company's market makers must make an application to the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc., or NASD, following the effective date of this Form

ITEM 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On June 17, 2002, the Company received a summons from Industrial Property Fund I, LP that named the Company as a co-defendant in a civil action pursuant to the Companys tenancy in Forest Park, GA., which the Company continues to assert and claim is a month-to-month tenancy under which the Company has no obligation other than payment of rent when due. No remedy is being sought against the Company at this time relating to this civil action.
ITEM 3. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
Not Applicable
ITEM 4. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Pursuant to the Reorganization Plan of WBNI, all of its outstanding
capital stock as of February 10, 1999, the date of its bankruptcy petition, was
canceled. Subsequently, WBNI issued an aggregate of 520,233 shares of common
stock to certain of its creditors. The 520,233 shares were issued in accordance
with Section 1145 under the United States Bankruptcy Code and the transaction
was thus exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Securities Act of 1933.
On October 29, 2001, WBNI's majority stockholders approved a merger with
TRANSL Holdings and issued 5,982,680 shares of common stock. Minority
stockholders were mailed notices of such action as well as other actions taken
by the majority stockholders pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation law.
WBNI was the surviving entity and changed its name to Segmentz, Inc. The Company
relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 for the issuance of the
5,982,680 shares because the transaction did not involve a public offering and
was therefore exempt from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the
Securities Act. No underwriters were used in connection with this transaction.
ITEM 5. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Segmentz is a Delaware corporation. The Company certificate of
incorporation provides that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless its
officers, directors and others serving the corporation in various capacities to
the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that
a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify officers and directors in
specified circumstances.
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify its
directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of the corporation, referred to as a derivative action) if they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was
unlawful. A similar standard of conduct is applicable in the case of derivative
actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of that
action, and Section 145 requires court approval before there can be any
indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable
to the corporation.
Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent that a
director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or in the defense of
any claim, issue or matter within that action, suit or proceeding, that person
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by that person in connection with that defense. The
Company's certificate of incorporation provides that the indemnification rights
described above shall be contract rights and shall include the right to be paid
expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final
disposition subject to any undertakings required under the DGCL. Section 145
requires an undertaking to repay any amount advanced if the director or officer
receiving that amount is ultimately determined not to be entitled to
indemnification.
Indemnification provided for by Section 145 of the DGCL and the Company's
certificate of incorporation is not to be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which the indemnified party may be entitled. Both Section 145 and the
Company's certificate of incorporation permit the Company to maintain insurance
on behalf of a director, officer or others against any liability asserted
against that person and incurred by that person, whether or not the Company
would have the power to indemnify that person against those liabilities under
Section 145. Anyone claiming rights to indemnification under the Company's
certificate of incorporation may bring suit if that indemnification is not paid
within thirty days.

1. Acquisition
In October 2001, Segmentz, Inc., formerly known as WBNI, Inc., merged with TransL Holdings, Inc., the sole stockholder of Trans-Logistics, Inc. This consolidated entity is hereinafter referred to as the Company. Prior to acquisition, Segmentz, Inc. was an inactive public shell with approximately 460 stockholders who owned 520,233 shares of common stock.
Pursuant to the agreement, the stockholders of TransL Holdings, Inc. (TransL) received in return for all of their shares in TransL, 5,982,680 unregistered shares of Segmentz, Inc., which represented approximately 92 percent of its total shares outstanding.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which TransL is treated as the acquirer and Segmentz, Inc. as the acquiree. All references in the accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and the per share amounts have been restated to reflect the subsequent change in the common stock as if the acquisition had occurred on April 28, 2000.
2. Background Information
WBNI, Inc., a Texas corporation incorporated in 2000, is the surviving corporation of a sequence of mergers and reverse mergers of inactive companies. In November 2001, WBNI, Inc. changed its name to Segmentz, Inc.
TransL Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in October 2001, is the 100 percent stockholder of Trans-Logistics, Inc., a Florida corporation incorporated in April 2000. This parent and subsidiary are hereinafter referred to as Trans-Logistics. Trans-Logistics is a logistics and brokerage organization serving irregular route, long haul, and common motor carriers of general commodities throughout the southeastern United States. It was incorporated on April 28, 2000; however, it began its operations during September 2000. Trans-Logistics corporate headquarters is located in Tampa, Florida.
During May 2001, Trans-Logistics acquired the assets of Q Logistic Solutions, Inc. (QLS) for approximately $367,000. QLS operated warehouse facilities in Atlanta, Georgia; Edison, New Jersey; Orlando, Florida; and Chicago, Illinois. Operations in Orlando and Chicago were subsequently discontinued. This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

2. Background Information (continued)
Effective January 1, 2001, Trans-Logistics was acquired by Logistics Management Resources, Inc. (LMR) in August 2001. This acquisition was rescinded and cancelled. It is the Companys assertion that this transaction was never consummated and, therefore, never occurred. No consideration was ever tendered and control was never transferred. The purchase price was to be determined based on results of future revenues plus $80,000, less certain liabilities assumed. A portion of the consideration was to be paid at closing with the balance to be paid in installments. The delivery of shares by either party to the other never occurred and, therefore, the Company has not recorded this acquisition under applicable pushdown accounting rules. Under the terms of the Rescission Agreement, the Company agreed to a reimbursement of 1,500,000 shares of LMRs common stock and a note receivable in the amount of $450,000, which the Company has an allowance of $225,000 recorded for estimated, uncollectible amounts as of December 31, 2001. LMR tendered a certificate for 1.5 million shares pursuant to the Rescission Agreement, which was received by Trans-Logistics on August 10, 2001. The shares closed at $.99, which resulted in a reduction of general and administrative expenses of $148,500 and extinguishment of the first part of rescission obligation due to Trans-Logistics under the terms of that agreement. The shares were sold to the market as soon as conditions permitted with the intention of maximizing cash value received while ensuring that shares were sold as quickly as was practical. There are no current liabilities to LMR pursuant to the Rescission Agreement. Any liabilities to Trans-Logistics that might have existed were extinguished pursuant to mutual conditional general releases executed simultaneously with the Rescission Agreement. The Company incurred a loss of approximately $79,000 on the sale of these shares.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies are as follows:
The financial statements reflect the accounts of Segmentz, Inc., Trans-Logistics, Inc., and TransL, Inc. Prior to October 2001, the date of the merger, the financial statements are those of Trans-Logistics, the only operating company at that time.
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.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Period

3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Operating revenues for truck brokerage services are recognized on the date the freight is delivered. Related costs of delivery of shipments in transit are accrued as incurred. Revenues from warehousing services are recognized as the services are performed.
Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
The Company extends credit to its various customers based on the customers ability to pay. The Company provides for estimated losses on accounts receivable based on bad debt experience and a review of existing receivables. Based on managements review of accounts receivable and other receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts of $245,000 is considered necessary as of December 31, 2001.
Equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is calculated by the straightline method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging generally from two to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterments and renewals are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income in the period that included the enactment date.
Basic loss per share has been computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. The Companys diluted loss per share includes the effect, if any, of unissued shares under options, warrants, and stock award computed using the treasury method. In all periods presented, there were no differences between basic and diluted loss per common share because the assumed exercise of common share equivalents, if any, was anti-dilutive. The assumed exercise of warrants, as well as conversion of preferred stock, could potentially dilute basic earnings per share.

Year Ended December 31, 2001 and the Period
April 28, 2000 (Date of Inception) through December 31, 2000
3. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, include trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Companys large number of customers and wide range of industries and locations served. One customer comprised approximately 21 percent of the December 31, 2001 customer accounts receivable balance. Sales to this customer comprised approximately 26 percent of the Companys sales for the year ended December 31, 2001.
The Company maintains its cash accounts with substantially one financial institution located in Tampa, Florida. The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations insured limit of $100,000.
The Company believes the carrying amount of cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable (net of allowance), notes receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to their short maturity.
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Board No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets may not be recoverable. In performing the review of recoverability, the Company estimates the future undiscounted cash flows that are expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. Because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, there will usually be differences between the estimated and actual future undiscounted cash flows, and these differences may be material. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the Company recognizes a loss for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. The fair value of the asset is measured using quoted market prices or, in the absence of quoted market prices, fair value is based on an estimate of discounted cash flow analysis. During the periods presented, the Company determined that its long-lived assets were not impaired.
Certain minor reclassifications have been made in the 2000 financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2001. These reclassifications had no effect on total assets, stockholders equity, total cash flows, or net income.

5. Note Receivable
As disclosed in Note 2, during the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company and LMR mutually rescinded an acquisition agreement. This agreement did not rescind an amount that was due to the Company as part of the purchase price. As a result, the Company has recognized a reduction of general and administrative expenses and a demand note receivable of an equal amount of $450,000 due from LMR, less an allowance of $225,000 as an estimate of uncollectible amounts as of December 31, 2001. The terms of this note exclude interest until demand is made for payment. As of the date of these financial statements, no demand has been made. Subsequent to year-end, $25,000 has been received on this note.
6. Obligation Due Under Factoring Arrangement
The Company factors substantially all of its accounts receivable. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company utilized the services of two factoring companies. Accounts receivable are factored to companies with full recourse for unpaid invoices in excess of 75 days old. The most recent agreement provides for the payment of factoring fees at 2.5 percent of each invoice factored.

7. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is different from that which would be obtained by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes. The items causing this difference are as follows:
2001 2000
Tax expense at U.S. statutory rate $ 223,100 $ 5,400
State income taxes, net of federal benefit 23,900 600
Effect of non-deductible expenses (1,700)
Change in valuation allowance (245,300)
Effect of using surtax exemption (3,083)
$ 0 $ 2,917
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets at December 31, 2001 are as follows:
Deferred tax assets:
Accounts and loan receivables due to bad debts $ 176,900
Capital loss carry forward 29,700
Net operating loss carry forward 38,700
Total gross deferred tax assets 245,300
Less valuation allowance 245,300
Net deferred tax assets $ 0
Based on an assessment of all available evidence, including 2001 and 2000 operating results, management does not consider realization of the deferred tax assets generated from operations to be more likely than not, and has established a valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax asset.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $103,000, which expire in 2022.

The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental payments required under operating leases that have an initial or remaining non-cancelable lease term in excess of one year as of December 31, 2001:

Rent expense amounted to $722,361 for the year ended December 31, 2001. There was no rent expense during the period ended December 31, 2000.
13. Other Commitments
The Company has an employment agreement with an officer of the Company that entitles the officer to receive a severance payment equal to the remaining salary owed under the employment agreement, plus the base salary for the next five years after the term of the employment agreement, including certain other benefits to be paid for following termination.
As previously disclosed, the Company has a stand by letter of credit amounting to $40,000.
14. Contingent Liabilities
The Company has been party to a lease
in its Atlanta facility that it believed to be month-to-month
pursuant to data provided by LMR, which was in operational control of the Company
at the time the Company purchased the assets of QLS from bankruptcy and began
utilizing the space in Forest Park, Georgia pursuant to providing logistic services
for clients. The Company notified the landlord, IDI Services, Inc. (IDI),
of its intentions to find smaller space and offered IDI an opportunity to provide
a lesser facility size within the facility currently occupied. On June 17, 2002,
the Company received a summons from Industrial Property Fund I, LP that named
the Company as a co-defendant in a civil action pursuant to the Company’s
tenancy in Forest Park, GA., which the Company continues to assert and claim
is a month-to-month tenancy under which the Company has no obligation other
than payment of rent when due. No remedy is being sought against the Company
at this time relating to this civil action.

by the Company. IDI informed the Company at that time that the Company was party to a lease arrangement that had previously not been disclosed or evidenced. As of February 28, 2002, IDI and the Company were engaged in discussions to resolve this misunderstanding in which the Company asserts that IDI accepted a letter of credit provided by LMR as inducement to enter into the lease with LMR with whom the Company had an arrangement to vacate the premises of its month-to-month sublease on 30 days written notice. IDIs assertion included a variety of material issues, including a representation that the Company was a prime lease holder with an obligation through May 2006. The Company has subsequently secured legal counsel and continues to assert that any lease documents that exist suggesting the Companys prime tenancy are not authorized by the Company, its board, or officers as provided for in the Companys bylaws. The Company continues to defend its position in this matter and believes that it will reach an amicable settlement pursuant to this issue.
15. Segment Information

3. Sale of Accounts Receivable
During the first quarter of 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a financing company to purchase certain receivables of the Company without recourse at a rate estimated to be one percent per ten days outstanding. The Company is treating this as a sales transaction in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, the receivable is removed from the assets of the Company on the date of sale of the receivable in exchange for cash received, and the reserve is held until the receivable is paid to the purchaser (at which time, the remaining balance due to the Company, if any, is paid).
4. Line of Credit
As of December 31, 2001, the Company had entered into an agreement with a related party to provide a line of credit up to $1.0 million. At December 31, 2001, that party agreed to convert its outstanding balance of $773,896 to Series A preferred stock of the Company. The Company currently has up to $250,000 available under the facility, of which $238,902 is outstanding as of March 31, 2002.

there were no dilutive securities outstanding at
