               AMERTRANZ WORLDWIDE HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1 - Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the  instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X related to
interim  period  financial  statements  and,  therefore,   do  not  include  all
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles.
However,  in the opinion of management,  all  adjustments  (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
of the  consolidated  financial  position of the Company and its subsidiaries at
September 30, 1996 and their  consolidated  results of operations and cash flows
for the quarter  ended  September  30, 1996 have been  included.  The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year. Reference should be made to the annual
financial  statements,  including  footnotes thereto,  included in the Amertranz
Worldwide  Holding Corp. (the "Company") Form 10-K for the six months ended June
30, 1996.

Note 2 - Subsequent Events

(a) On October 10, 1996, Consolidated Air Services, Inc., an Arizona Corporation
("Consolidated") merged (the "Merger") with and into the Company pursuant to the
terms of an Agreement of Merger dated as of September 30, 1996.

In the Merger,  all of the issued and outstanding  shares of  Consolidated  were
exchanged for an aggregate of 20,000  shares of the Company's  Class B Preferred
Stock.  Each share of the Company's Class B Preferred  Stock is convertible,  at
the option of the holder  thereof at any time after  October 10,  1997,  into 10
shares  of the  Company's  Common  Stock.  In  addition,  the  Company  issued a
promissory  note to the  Consolidated  Stockholders  in the aggregate  principal
amount of $150,000.

For the 12 months ended June 30, 1996,  Consolidated generated gross revenues of
$5,995,000 and net income of $347,000.  The acquisition will be accounted for as
a purchase.

(b) Amertranz is a defendant in a lawsuit initiated by the trustee in bankruptcy
of Aeronautics  Express,  Inc. ("AEI"), a company with whom Amertranz engaged in
discussions  concerning  a  prospective  business  combination  during the early
spring of 1994.  The complaint was filed in the United States  Bankruptcy  Court
for the  Southern  District of New York in  December,  1995,  and  alleges  that
Amertranz improperly obtained control over the assets of AEI, committed fraud in
connection  with the business  discussion,  breached an agreement not to solicit
the business or customers  of AEI,  induced AEI to convey  property to Amertranz
for less  than fair  value  and  failed  to pay AEI  compensation  for  services
rendered by AEI to  Amertranz.  The  complaint  sought  damages in excess of $11
million.  The Company has reached an agreement with the trustee in bankruptcy to
settle the  litigation  for  $50,000,  and this  settlement  was approved by the
United States Bankruptcy Court on October 30, 1996. The Company has paid $25,000
of this  settlement,  with the balance due 45 days following the finalization of
the Court's order.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This  Form 10-Q  contains  certain  forward-looking  statements  reflecting  the
Company's current expectations and there can be no assurances that the Company's
actual  future   performance  will  meet  such   expectations.   Forward-looking
statements are preceded by an asterisk.

Results of Operations

Three Months ended September 30, 1996

The  Company  began  its  existence  as the  holding  company  for the  combined
operations of Amertranz Worldwide, Inc. ("Amertranz") and the freight forwarding
business of TIA, Inc.  ("TIA") and Caribbean  Freight  System,  Inc.  ("CFS") on
February  8, 1996.  From and after  February  8, 1996,  the  freight  forwarding
business  of TIA  and CFS was  operated  through  the  Company's  Caribbean  Air
Services  subsidiary.  Prior to such date,  the  operations of AmerTranz and the
freight  forwarding  business of TIA and CFS were independent of each other. The
following  discussion  relates to the  combined  results of the  Company for the
period July 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996.

         Operating  Revenue.  Operating revenue was $15.3 million for the period
July 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996.

         Cost of  Transportation.  Cost of transportation was 75.8% of operating
revenue for the period.

         Gross  Profit.  Gross  profit  for the  period  was 24.2% of  operating
revenue.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative expenses for the period was 31.5% of operating revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On July 3, 1996,  the Company  completed an initial public  offering  ("IPO") of
2,300,000 shares of common stock and redeemable  common stock purchase  warrants
at an  initial  offering  price of $6.00 per share  and $0.10 per  warrant.  The
proceeds from the IPO, net of  underwriting  discounts and commissions and after
deducting expenses of the IPO, were approximately $12.3 million. Of this amount,
$4,137,000 was used to repay the outstanding  principal and interest  balance on
earlier bridge financings,  $373,000 was used to repay the outstanding principal
and  interest  balance  on earlier  interim  financing,  $2 million  was used as
partial payment on a pre-IPO  obligation to TIA and CFS ("Exchange  Note"),  and
approximately  $700,000 was used to repay overdue trade payables.  The remaining
balance  of the  proceeds  was  retained  by the  Company  for  working  capital
purposes. Additionally, TIA and CFS exchanged $2,000,000 principal amount of the
Exchange Note for 200,000 shares of the Company's Class A Preferred Stock.

Capital  expenditures  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  were
$218,177.

*The Company  believes that funds raised in the IPO, cash flows  generated  from
operations  and  available  funds under its  existing  loan  facilities  will be
sufficient to finance its operations and obligations for the foreseeable future.
However,  the Company's  actual working  capital needs will depend upon numerous
factors,  including the Company's operating results,  the cost of increasing the
Company's  sales and  marketing  activities,  changes in law which  affect doing
business in Puerto Rico,  and  competition,  none of which can be predicted with
certainty.
