              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
December 31, 1999 and their  consolidated  results of operations  and cash flows
for the three and six months  ended  December 31, 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  450,000 and 75,000 shares of common stock for the three and
six months ended December 31, 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 six months ended  December 31, 1999 and
the three months ended  December 31, 1998, as the effect of dilutive  securities
would be anti-dilutive on loss per common share.

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 six months ended December 31, 1999 indicate that  management's  concentrated
focus on Target's business together with the Company's  available resources will
enable the Company to achieve the intended growth.  For the three and six months
ended  December 31,  1999,  Target's  revenue  increased by 136.0% and 117.7% to
$24,858,531 and $43,935,049,  respectively,  over the prior year's corresponding
periods.  While gross profit margin (i.e., gross operating revenues less cost of
transportation  expressed as a percentage of gross operating  revenue) decreased
to 28.6% and 30.4%  from  32.8% and 34.3%  from the three and six  months  ended
December 31, 1998,  respectively.  This decrease was primarily a result of lower
gross profit margins for Target's  international  air import  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  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 results of  operation of the
Company for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999, compared to
results of  operation  for the three and six month  periods  ended  December 31,
1998.

Three Months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
- - ---------------------------------------------

         Operating Revenue. Operating revenue increased to $24.9 million for the
three  months ended  December  31, 1999 from $10.5  million for the three months
ended December 31, 1998, a 136.4% increase, due to increased freight volume.

         Cost of  Transportation.  Cost of transportation was 71.4% of operating
revenue for the three  months ended  December  31, 1999,  and 67.7% of operating
revenue for the three months ended December 31, 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 71.4% for the current  period from 67.2% for the prior
year,  primarily  a  result  of  higher  cost  of  transportation  for  Target's
international air import freight movement.

         Gross  Profit.  As a result of the factors  described  in the  previous
paragraph,  gross profit for the three months ended  December 31, 1999 decreased
to 28.6% of  operating  revenue  from 32.3% of  operating  revenue for the three
months ended December 31, 1998.  Within the Company's Target  subsidiary,  gross
profit margin  decreased to 28.6% from 32.8% for the three months ended December
31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased to 27.7% of operating  revenue for the three
months ended  December 31, 1999,  from 42.7% of operating  revenue for the three
months ended  December 31, 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;  and (ii) the  elimination  of CAS  expenses  as a result of the CAS
Sale.

         Within  the  Company's   Target   subsidiary,   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses (excluding exclusive forwarder commission expense) were
12.7% of  operating  revenue for the three  months  ended  December 31, 1999 and
29.7% for the period ended  December 31, 1998, a 57.2%  decrease.  This decrease
was primarily due to operating  revenue growth without a corresponding  increase
in fixed  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses.  Exclusive  forwarder
commission  expense was 13.1% of  operating  revenue for the three  months ended
December 31, 1999 and 8.3% for the period ended December 31, 1998. This increase
is due to the Company's addition of new exclusive forwarders.

         Net Income.  The Company  realized net income of $137,687 for the three
months ended  December 31, 1999,  compared to a net loss of  ($632,297)  for the
three months ended December 31, 1998.

Six Months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998
- - -------------------------------------------

         Operating Revenue. Operating revenue increased to $43.9 million for the
six months ended  December 31, 1999 from $21.8  million for the six months ended
December  31, 1998, a 102.0%  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 117.7% to
$43,935,049 for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from  $20,184,947 for the
corresponding  1998 period,  a  $23,750,102  increase  due to increased  freight
volume.

<PAGE>

         Cost of  Transportation.  Cost of transportation was 69.6% of operating
revenue for the six months  ended  December  31,  1999,  and 67.2% of  operating
revenue for the six months ended  December 31, 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 69.6% for the current  period from 65.7% for the prior
year,  primarily  a  result  of  higher  cost  of  transportation  for  Target's
international air import freight movement.

         Gross  Profit.  As a result of the factors  described  in the  previous
paragraph,  gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 1999 decreased to
30.4% of operating  revenue  from 32.8% of operating  revenue for the six months
ended December 31, 1998.  Within the Company's Target  subsidiary,  gross profit
margin  decreased to 30.4% from 34.3% for the six months ended December 31, 1999
and 1998, respectively.

         Selling,  General and  Administrative  Expenses.  Selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  decreased  to 30.8% of  operating  revenue for the six
months  ended  December 31,  1999,  from 43.6% of operating  revenue for the six
months ended  December 31, 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;  and (ii) the  elimination  of CAS  expenses  as a result of the CAS
Sale.

         Within  the  Company's   Target   subsidiary,   selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses (excluding exclusive forwarder commission expense) were
14.8% of operating  revenue for the six months ended December 31, 1999 and 28.9%
for the period ended  December 31, 1998,  a 48.8%  decrease.  This  decrease was
primarily due to operating  revenue growth without a  corresponding  increase in
fixed  selling,  general  and  administrative   expenses.   Exclusive  forwarder
commission  expense  was 14.1% of  operating  revenue  for the six months  ended
December 31, 1999 and 8.4% for the period ended December 31, 1998. This increase
is due to the Company's addition of new exclusive forwarders.

         Net Income.  The Company  realized a net loss of ($99,592)  for the six
months ended December 31, 1999, compared to a net income of $14,155, 423 for the
six months ended  December 31, 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 six months ended  December 31, 1999, net cash used
in operating  activities was $2,627,000.  Cash used in investing  activities was
$89,000.  Cash provided by financing activities was $1,364,000,  which primarily
consisted  of  borrowings  under the  Company's  accounts  receivable  financing
facility.

         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 six months ended
December 31, 1999 were $88,315.

         * Working Capital Requirements. Cash needs of the Company are currently
met by funds  generated  from  operations,  the  Company's  accounts  receivable
financing  facility,  and cash on hand. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had
$4,593,000  available  under  its  $10  million  accounts  receivable  financing
facility and  approximately  $6,529,512  from  operations  and cash on hand. 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 did not experience any material disruptions due to 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,  and the total cost of  modifications  to
become Y2K compliant was not material to the Company's financial position.
