                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Retirement Plan Investment Board of FDX Corporation
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, 1998 and 1997, and the related statement of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial
statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed 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, 1998, 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 statements 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 Plan 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 audits 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.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1998

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 four 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. ("Caliber") and participating domestic subsidiaries (the
"Employers") not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. On January 27,
1998, Federal Express Corporation and Caliber became wholly-owned subsidiaries
of a newly formed holding company FDX Corporation (the "Company"). The Plan was
amended on May 20, 1998, to change the oversight of the Plan to the Retirement
Plan Investment Board appointed by the Company.

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 1,000 hours during 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).

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 Caliber 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, Merrill Lynch
Trust Company, FSB (the "Trustee"). Prior to January 1, 1998, all of the Plan
assets were held by Barclays Global Investors, N.A., the Plan's former trustee.

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

Employers match 50% of participant's contributions up to a maximum of 6% or 7%
of the participant's annual compensation depending on the Subplan. Each Subplan
allows participants to direct matching contributions to any of the investment
options, with the exception of the Roadway Express Stock Fund and effective
September 1998 the FDX Stock Fund.

Certain Subplans also provide for additional contributions at the discretion of
the participants' employer. There were no discretionary contributions made for
the 1998 plan year.

Vesting

                                       6

<PAGE>


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. On January 27, 1998, Caliber shareholders received 0.8 shares of
    Company common stock for each share of Caliber stock. 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. Effective
    September 1998, this fund is not available for additional participant
    contributions; participants may only transfer their investments out of this
    fund.

    Roadway Express Stock Fund

    In connection with Caliber's spin-off of Roadway Express, Inc. ("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. The fund
    will be eliminated effective September 30, 1999. Participants have until
    September 30, 1999 to reallocate their balance in this fund to the remaining
    investments available. Any amounts remaining in the fund after September 30,
    1999 will be transferred to the Income Accumulation 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 were invested in a guaranteed investment contract
    with Mutual Benefit Life. The reported value of the units owned by the Plan
    was 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 through December 31, 1997.

    During November 1998, all assets invested in the Mutual Benefit Life GIC
    were transferred to the Income Accumulation Fund.

    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

                                       7

<PAGE>


    The assets of this fund are invested in the MasterWorks Asset Allocation
    Fund, of 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 Merrill Lynch 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.

                                       8

    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

    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 Retirement Plan Investment Board to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

4.  PLAN TERMINATION:

Although it has 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
Internal Revenue Service is currently conducting an examination of the Plan, and
the Company continues its discussions with the Examiner regarding the
appropriate correction of certain defects which Caliber identified prior to the
commencement of the examination. However, the Retirement Plan Investment Board
does not expect that this or any course of action or series of events that have
occurred will adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
