              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, 1999 and their  consolidated  results of operations and cash flows
for the three months ended September 30, 1999 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  Target
Logistics, Inc. (the "Company") Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1999.

Note 2 - Reclassifications

Exclusive  forwarder   commission  expense  (previously  referred  to  as  agent
commission  expense) was  reported  within cost of  transportation  in the prior
years' consolidated financial statements. Exclusive forwarder commission expense
is now reported within selling,  general and administrative  expense.  The prior
year has been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

Note 3 - Per Share Data

In accordance with the  requirements  of SFAS No. 128 "Earnings per Share",  net
earnings per common share  amounts  ("basic  EPS") were computed by dividing net
earnings after deducting preferred stock dividend requirements,  by the weighted
average number of common shares  outstanding  and  contingently  issuable shares
(which satisfy  certain  conditions) and excluding any potential  dilution.  Net
earnings  per common  share  amounts - assuming  dilution  ("diluted  EPS") were
computed by reflecting  potential  dilution from the exercise of stock  options.
SFAS No. 128 requires the  presentation of both basic EPS and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement.

Options to purchase  440,000 and  225,800  shares of common  stock for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were not included in the
computation  of diluted EPS because the  exercise  price of those  options  were
greater  than the  average  market  price of the  common  shares,  thus they are
anti-dilutive. The options were still outstanding at the end of the period.



(1) No diluted EPS is presented  for the three months ended  September 30, 1999,
as the effect of dilutive  securities  would be anti-dilutive on loss per common

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

         This  Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q contains  certain  forward-looking
statements  reflecting the Company's  current  expectations  with respect to its
operations,  performance,  financial  condition,  and other  developments.  Such
statements  are  necessarily  estimates  reflecting the Company's best judgement
based upon current  information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties.
While it is impossible  to identify all such factors,  factors which could cause
actual results to differ  materially  from  expectations  are: (i) the Company's
historic  losses and ability to achieve  profitability  following  the July 1998
sale by the Company of the assets of its Caribbean Air  Services,  Inc.  ("CAS")
subsidiary (the "CAS Sale"),  (ii) the Company's  ability to increase  operating
revenue,   improve  gross  profit  margins  and  reduce  selling,   general  and
administrative costs, (iii) competitive practices in the industries in which the
Company competes,  (iv) the Company's dependence on current management,  (v) the
impact of current and future laws and  governmental  regulations  affecting  the
transportation  industry in general and the Company's  operations in particular,
(vi)  general  economic  conditions,  and  (vii)  other  factors  which  may  be
identified from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission
filings and other public announcements. There can be no assurance that these and
other factors will not affect the accuracy of such  forward-looking  statements.
Forward-looking statements are preceded by an asterisk (*).

OVERVIEW

         The Company was  incorporated  in January  1996 to continue the freight
forwarding  business of TIA, Inc. ("TIA") and Caribbean Freight System, Inc. and
acquire Amertranz Worldwide, Inc. ("Amertranz"). The Company generated operating
revenues of $51.7  million,  $97.8  million,  and $75.4  million,  and had a net
profit of $14.0  million and $7.4  million,  and a net loss of $10.5 million for
the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999,  1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The fiscal
year 1999 profit includes a $16.6 million gain (net of tax) arising from the CAS
sale which closed on July 13, 1998, the 1998 profit  includes a $7.6 million net
income  tax  benefit  arising  from the CAS Sale and the  fiscal  year 1997 loss
included  a  charge  of  $3.4  million  attributed  to  restructuring  costs  in
connection with the closing of the Company's Amertranz  subsidiary.  The Company
had  consolidated  earnings  (losses) before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and
amortization  (EBITDA) of approximately $22.0 million,  $2.6 million,  and ($8.3
million), for the fiscal years ended June 30, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         * Following the closing of the Amertranz  subsidiary in June 1997,  the
Company determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders  to  deleverage  the  Company's  balance  sheet and create the cash
resources  needed  to  grow  the  Company's  freight  forwarding  and  logistics
businesses. While the Company's CAS subsidiary has been historically profitable,
management determined that this strategy can best be accomplished by the sale of
the  operations  of its CAS  subsidiary.  On July 13, 1998,  the  Company's  CAS
subsidiary  sold  substantially  all of its operating  assets to a subsidiary of
Geologistics  Corporation  for $27  million in cash  pursuant to the terms of an
Asset Purchase  Agreement  dated June 15, 1998. As a result of the CAS Sale, the
Company  deleveraged its balance sheet by repaying  approximately $15 million in
outstanding  liabilities and obtained required working capital to take advantage
of growth  opportunities  available to the Company's  Target Logistic  Services,
Inc. subsidiary ("Target").  These opportunities include improved vendor pricing
and attracting  quality  personnel and agents on a world-wide  basis,  which the
Company believes will drive its future profitability.  In addition,  the Company
may  consider  strategic  acquisitions.  There  can be no  assurance  that  this
strategy to increase profitability will be successful.

         * Management believes that the results of the Company's  operations for
the  three  months  ended   September  30,  1999   indicate  that   management's
concentrated  focus on Target's business  together with the Company's  available
resources following the CAS Sale will enable the Company to achieve the intended
growth.  For the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999,  Target's  revenue
increased  by 97.7% to  $19,076,518.  While gross  profit  margin  (i.e.,  gross
operating  revenues  less cost of  transportation  expressed as a percentage  of
gross  operating  revenue)  decreased  to 32.7% from 35.9% from the three months
ended  September  30,  1998,  this was  primarily a result of lower gross profit
margins for Target's  international air and ocean freight  movement.  Management
intends to continue to work on improving  Target's  gross profit  margins  while
focusing on increasing  operating  revenue by adding quality sales personnel and


                                       10

exclusive forwarders (previously referred to as independent agents) and reducing
fixed  selling,  general and  administrative  costs to improve the Company's net
income.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following  discussion  relates to the combined results of operation
of the Company for the three month period ended September 30, 1999,  compared to
results of operation for the three month period ended September 30, 1998.

Three Months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

         Operating Revenue. Operating revenue increased to $19.1 million for the
three months ended  September  30, 1999 from $11.2  million for the three months
ended September 30, 1998, a 69.8%  increase.  The prior year includes 12 days of
CAS  operating  revenues  due to the CAS  Sale  on July  13,  1998.  Within  the
operations of the Company's Target  subsidiary  operating  revenue  increased by
97.7% to  $19,076,518  for the  three  months  ended  September  30,  1999  from
$9,650,938 for the  corresponding  1998 period,  a $9,425,580  increase,  due to
increased freight volume.

         Cost of  Transportation.  Cost of transportation was 67.3% of operating
revenue for the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  and 64.1% of operating
revenue for the three months ended  September 30, 1998.  This increase is due to
an increase in the Target subsidiary's cost of transportation as a percentage of
sales. The Company's Target  subsidiary's cost of transportation as a percentage
of sales has increased to 67.3% for the current  period from 64.1% for the prior
year,   primarily  a  result  of  lower  gross   profit   margins  for  Target's
international air and ocean freight movement.

         Gross  Profit.  As a result of the factors  described  in the  previous
paragraph,  gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 1999 decreased
to 32.7% of  operating  revenue  from 33.2% of  operating  revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. Within the Company's Target  subsidiary,  gross
profit margin decreased to 32.7% from 35.9% for the three months ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased to 34.8% of operating  revenue for the three
months ended September 30, 1999,  from 44.4% of operating  revenue for the three
months ended  September  30, 1998.  This decrease was primarily due to (i) lower
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales within the
Company's  Target  subsidiary  partially  offset  by an  increase  in  exclusive
forwarder  commission  expense due to the  Company's  addition of new  exclusive
forwarders;  (ii) the  elimination  of CAS expenses as a result of the CAS Sale;
and (iii)  non-recurring  expenses of  $619,015  in the 1998  period  (reflected
within "Selling,  general and administrative  expenses - Corporate") as a result
of the CAS Sale.

         Within  the  Company's   Target   subsidiary,   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses (excluding exclusive forwarder commission expense) were
17.5% of operating  revenue for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 and
28.0% for the period  ended  September  30, 1998,  a 37.5%  decrease.  Exclusive
forwarder commission expense was 15.3% of operating revenue for the three months
ended  September 30, 1999 and 8.5% for the period ended September 30, 1998. This
increase is due to the Company's addition of new exclusive forwarders.

         Net Income. The Company realized a net loss of ($237,279) for the three
months ended September 30, 1999, compared to a net income of $14,787,720 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998. The 1998 results included a $16.6 million
gain (net of tax) arising from the CAS Sale, which closed on July 13, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         General.  During the three months ended  September  30, 1999,  net cash
used in operating  activities was $3,155,000.  Cash used in investing activities
was  $27,000.  Cash  provided by  financing  activities  was  $1,868,000,  which
primarily  consisted  of  borrowings  under the  Company's  accounts  receivable
financing facility.


                                       11

<PAGE>

         Currently,  approximately  $1.7  million of the  Company's  outstanding
accounts  payable  represent  unsecured  trade payables of the Company's  closed
Amertranz subsidiary.

         Capital  expenditures.  Capital expenditures for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 were $25,984.

         * Working Capital Requirements. Cash needs of the Company are currently
met by funds  generated  from  operations,  the  Company's  accounts  receivable
financing  facility,  and funds remaining from the CAS Sale. As of September 30,
1999,  the  Company had  $3,803,000  available  under its $10  million  accounts
receivable  financing facility and approximately  $6,568,000 from operations and
remaining  proceeds  from the CAS Sale.  The Company  believes  that its current
financial resources will be sufficient to finance its operations and obligations
for the long and short term. However, the Company's actual working capital needs
for the long and short terms will depend upon  numerous  factors,  including the
Company's  operating  results,  the cost of increasing  the Company's  sales and
marketing  activities,  and  competition,  none of which can be  predicted  with
certainty.

YEAR 2000

         The Company is on schedule with a project that  addresses the Year 2000
(Y2K)  issue of computer  systems and other  equipment  with  embedded  chips or
processors  not being able to  properly  recognize  and  process  date-sensitive
information  after  December 31, 1999.  Many systems use only two digits  rather
than four to define the year,  and these systems will not be able to distinguish
between  the year 1900 and the year 2000.  This may lead to  disruptions  in the
operations of business and governmental  entities resulting from miscalculations
or system  failures.  The  Company's  Y2K  project  is  designed  to ensure  the
compliance of all of the Company's  applications,  operating system and hardware
platforms,  and to address the compliance of key business partners. Key business
partners  are those  customers  and vendors  that have a material  impact on the
Company's operations. All internal phases of the project and phases dealing with
many key business partners have been completed,  and the phases dealing with the
remaining  key business  partners  should be  completed  by 1999 year end,  thus
minimizing the impact of the Y2K problem on the Company's operations.  The total
cost of the required  modifications  to become Y2K  compliant is not material to
the Company's  financial  position.  Y2K  disruptions  in the  operations of key
vendors could impact the  Company's  ability to obtain  transportation  services
necessary for the Company's operations.  If this situation occurs, the Company's
results of operations, liquidity and financial condition could be materially and
adversely affected.  The Company is unable to determine the readiness of some of
its key  business  partners at this time and is  therefore  unable to  determine
whether the  consequences  of Y2K failures of these key business  partners  will
have a material  impact on the  Company's  results of  operations,  liquidity or
financial condition.
