FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
TOGETHER WITH REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Administrative Committee
Caliber System, Inc. 401(k)
   Savings Plan (Amended and Restated)

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Caliber System, Inc. 401(k)  Savings Plan (Amended and
Restated) as of December 31, 1997, and the related statement of changes in
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan
as of December 31, 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1997, and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in
the statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each
fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


To the Administrative Committee
Caliber System, Inc. 401(k)
   Savings Plan (Amended and Restated)


We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the Caliber System, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (Amended and Restated) as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for
the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The Fund Information in the statement of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund. The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997



1.  DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

The following description of the Caliber System, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
(Amended and Restated) (the "Plan"), provides only general information. The Plan
consists of five subplans (the Subplans) each of which contains different
provisions, principally related to contributions. Participants should refer to
the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees of Caliber
System,Inc. (the Company) and participating domestic subsidiaries (the
"Employers") not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan was
established to encourage eligible employees to save on a regular basis through
payroll deductions. Participation is available to eligible employees who have
completed twelve months of employment and have attained the age of 21 years. The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA).

Plan Mergers

Effective October 1, 1996, the Viking Financial Security Plan and Trust and the
Central Freight Lines, Inc. Employee Profit Sharing Plan and Trust, defined
contribution plans of a subsidiary of the Company, were merged into the Plan.
Assets with a fair value totaling $224 million were transferred into the Plan in
connection with these mergers.

Spin-off of Former Subsidiary

On April 4, 1996, assets with a fair value of approximately $99 million,
representing account balances at December 31, 1995 for participants who were
employees of Roadway Express, Inc. ("REX"), were transferred from the Plan to
the Roadway Express, Inc. 401(k) Stock Savings Plan. This transfer was pursuant
to the spin-off of Roadway Express, Inc. from Caliber System, Inc. effective
January 2, 1996. All benefits to participants who were employees of Roadway
Express, Inc. on or after January 1, 1996 were paid from the Roadway Express
401(k) Stock Savings Plan.

Sale of Former Division

On September 6, 1997, assets with a fair value of approximately $109 million,
representing account balances for participants who were employees at June 28,
1997, of a division of a subsidiary of the Company were transferred from the
Plan to a plan sponsored by the new owners of the division.

Contributions

The Plan is funded by combined contributions from the Plan's participants and
their employers to a trust fund maintained by the Plan's trustee, Barclays
Global Investors, N.A.  (the Trustee).  Prior to July 1, 1996, all of the
Plan assets were held by National City Bank, the Plan's former trustee.

The Subplans provide for participants to make before and after tax
contributions in amounts ranging up to 15% of their annual compensation
subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations.

Employer matching contributions vary by Subplan with matching percentages
ranging from 25% to 50% of the participants' contributions and annual limits
ranging from 1.25% to 3.5% of a participant's annual compensation.  Certain
Subplans require the employers match to be contributed only to the Company
Stock Fund.  Other Subplans allow participants to direct matching
contributions to any of the investment options, with the exception of the
Roadway Express Stock Fund.

Certain Subplans also provide for additional contributions at the discretion of
the participant's employer.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions and generally in the
employers' contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting for employer
contributions of certain Subplans ranges from five to seven years.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution,
their employer's contribution, an allocation of Plan earnings and forfeitures of
terminated participants nonvested accounts for those Subplans with a vesting
schedule. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can
be provided from the participant's account.

Investment Options

The assets of the Plan are invested primarily in the following investment funds
(unless otherwise indicated, the fair value of the shares/units owned by the
Plan are based upon quoted redemption values on the last business day of the
plan year):

     Company Stock Fund The assets of this fund are invested primarily in common
     stock of the Company. The fund keeps approximately 1% of its assets in
     short-term investments to allow participants to transfer money out of the
     fund at any time.

     Roadway Express Stock Fund In connection with the spin-off of REX,
     1,360,861 common shares of REX were distributed to the Plan during January
     1996. The fund keeps approximately 1% of its assets in short-term
     investments to allow participants to transfer money out of the fund at any
     time. This fund is not available for additional participant contributions;
     participants may only transfer their investments out of this fund. All
     dividend income earned by the fund is used to purchase Company common stock
     which is held in the fund.

     Franklin Mutual Beacon Fund The assets of this fund are invested in common
     stock, preferred stock and corporate debt securities which are available at
     prices less than their intrinsic value. The fund will tend to invest in
     securities of issuers with market capitalization in excess of $1 billion.

     Mutual Benefit Life GIC The assets of this fund are invested in a
     guaranteed investment contract with Mutual Benefit Life. The reported value
     of the units owned by the Plan is based upon the issue price of the
     investment contract adjusted for interest earned and any actual proceeds
     received by the Plan with respect to the guaranteed investment contract.
     Since July 16, 1991, assets invested in the Mutual Benefit Life GIC have
     been restricted (see Note 6).

     Bond Index Fund The assets of this fund are invested in the Masterworks
     Bond Index Fund which invests in U.S. Government and Corporate bonds with
     medium-term maturities.

     Asset Allocation Fund The assets of this fund are invested in the
     Masterworks Asset Allocation Fund, in which investments are allocated among
     common stock, U.S. Treasury bonds and money market instruments.

     Income Accumulation Fund The assets of this fund are invested in the
     Barclays Global Investors (BGI) Income Accumulation Fund which invests in
     investment contracts, U.S. government securities and short-term money
     market instruments.

     S&P 500 Stock Fund The assets of this fund are invested in the Masterworks
     S&P 500 Stock Fund which invests daily in the same stocks and substantially
     the same percentages as the S&P 500 Index.

     AIM Constellation Fund The assets of this fund are invested in the AIM
     Constellation Fund which seeks capital appreciation by investing in the
     common stock of principally medium sized and smaller emerging growth
     companies.

     Templeton Foreign Fund The assets of this fund are invested in the
     Templeton Foreign Fund which seeks long-term capital growth by investing in
     stock and debt obligations of companies and governments outside the United
     States.

     LifePath Funds The assets of this fund are invested in the LifePath Funds
     offered by Masterworks which invest their assets in a separate series of
     MasterInvestment Portfolio, an open-end management investment company
     including: LifePath 2000, LifePath 2010, LifePath 2020, LifePath 2030 and
     LifePath 2040. Each LifePath fund invests in a combination of domestic and
     foreign equity, fixed income and other securities to provide a risk-managed
     rate of return to maximize assets based on planned retirement in the decade
     indicated in the fund name.

     Vanguard Primecap Fund The assets of this fund are invested primarily in
     the Vanguard/Primecap Fund which seeks long-term growth by investing in the
     common stock of principally large and medium-sized U.S. companies. The fund
     also maintains a small investment in money market securities in order to
     provide liquidity for participant trades.

Participant Notes Receivable

Effective in 1996, participants may borrow from their fund accounts a
minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 reduced by the highest
outstanding balance of any other loan or 50% of their account balance.
Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years up to a maximum of 10 years for the
purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are secured by the balance in
the participant's account and bear interest at a rate 1% above the prime
rate as determined by the Trustee at the time a loan is processed.

2.  SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Investment Valuation and Administrative Fees

The Plan's investments are stated at fair value with the exception of the Loan
Fund and the Mutual Benefit Life GIC which are valued at cost which does not
differ materially from fair value.

Substantially all administrative fees are paid by the Company.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Administrative Committee to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.  INVESTMENTS:

The net asset value per share/unit at December 31 for the primary investments of
the respective investment funds was as follows:

                                                      1997           1996

4.  PLAN TERMINATION:

Although they have not expressed any intent to do so, the Employers have
the right under the Plan to discontinue their contributions at any time and
the Company has the right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions
of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, participants will become fully
vested in their accounts.  The Plan shall pay all expenses chargeable
against the Plan and shall then distribute all assets to the participants
in proportion to the amounts credited to their accounts at the date of such
termination.

5.  INCOME TAX STATUS:

The Internal Revenue Service ruled on April 15, 1996, that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC); therefore, the related
trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law. The Plan is required
to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The
Administrative Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of
events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified
status.

6.  MUTUAL BENEFIT LIFE GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT:

During 1991, the State of New Jersey insurance regulators took control of
Mutual Benefit Life and froze all existing assets of the company.  As a
result of these events, the future recoverability of the Plan's assets held
by Mutual Benefit Life is uncertain.  Only employees of the Company's
subsidiary, Viking Freight, Inc., hold assets in this fund.  Due to the
restricted status of the Mutual Benefit Life Guaranteed Investment
Contract, Viking Freight, Inc. has committed to protect the Plan
participants from any loss of principal (participant contributions and the
Employers match) as well as any credited interest upon maturity of the
contract.  Refer to Note 7 for further discussion.

7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

During 1997, Barclays Global Investors, N.A. was purchased by Merrill Lynch.
Effective January 1, 1998, the Plan changed the trustee to Merrill Lynch Trust
Company, FSB.

Subsequent to December 31, 1997, Mutual Benefit Life indicated they had
liquidated certain real estate holdings and converted these assets to investment
grade bonds maturing through December 31, 1999. As a result, Mutual Benefit Life
established a crediting interest rate of 9.75% during 1998 for the Plans assets
held in the Mutual Benefit Life GIC. The crediting interest rate for 1999 will
be determined quarterly or monthly based on investment performance of the assets
held in the account and requirements to pay out contracts at the end of 1999.
Effective January 1, 1998, Mutual Benefit Life has removed the penalty for early
withdrawals from the account permitting such withdrawals on a quarterly basis
beginning February 1, 1998.

On January 27, 1998, Federal Express Corporation and Caliber System, Inc. became
wholly-owned subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company, FDX Corporation.
Caliber System, Inc. shareholders received 0.8 shares of FDX Corporation common
stock for each share of Caliber System, Inc. stock. The Plan was amended on May
20, 1998, to change the oversight of the Plan to the Retirement Plan Investment
Board appointed by FDX Corporation.
