PRO FORMA SUMMARY COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
Set forth below is unaudited pro forma summary combined financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The pro forma summary combined statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 1998 reflects the effects on the historical results of operations
of C2 of the following transactions as if these transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1998.
- the sale of 5,202,664 shares of C2 common stock;
- the application of the proceeds for the purchase of 666.667
membership units (two-thirds) of TLC from Christiana for
approximately $10.7 million;
- the additional operating expenses associated with corporate
charges including officers salaries, professional, legal,
occupancy, public company and other corporate related expenses;
- the establishment of deferred income taxes for TLC; and
- the establishment of minority interest related to the one-third
ownership of TLC not held by C2.
In addition, the pro forma financial data reflects the following
pre-acquisition adjustments:
- the approximate $3 million repayment by TLC of a note to Christiana;
- $10 million of borrowings by TLC and subsequent payment of the
dividend to Christiana;
- the additional interest expense associated with these aforementioned
increases in outstanding debt and the adjustment to interest
expense to reflect the costs of borrowing under TLC's new
credit facility; and
- the cash payment to Christiana for income taxes related to TLC
earnings and certain expenses paid by Christiana on behalf of TLC.
The pro forma summary combined balance sheet reflects the affect of the
aforementioned transactions as if these transactions had occurred on December
31, 1998.
The pro forma financial data does not purport to represent what C2's
financial position or results of operations would actually have been if such a
transaction in fact had occurred on those dates or to project C2's financial
position or results of operations for any future period.

between the acquisition price and the historical cost basis of TLC has
been reflected as an equity adjustment.
(2) Represents a $3 million draw on TLC's revolving credit facility and
subsequent payment of the Christiana note prior to the acquisition of
two-thirds of TLC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Members of Total Logistic Control, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Total Logistic
Control, LLC (a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary
of Christiana Companies, Inc.) as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related
statements of income, member's equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 financial position of Total Logistic
Control, LLC as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December
31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: Total Logistic Control, LLC ("TLC") is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Christiana Companies, Inc. ("Christiana"). TLC was formed on
June 30, 1997 as a result of the combination of Wiscold, Inc. ("Wiscold") and
Total Logistic Control, Inc. ("Total Logistic"), both former wholly owned
subsidiaries of Christiana. The accompanying financial statements have been
restated to reflect this combination for all periods presented. The December 31,
1998 and 1997 balance sheets reflect the consolidated results of TLC. The
statements of earnings, member's equity and cash flows for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and for the period from July 1, 1997 through December 31, 1997
reflect the consolidated results of TLC. The statements of earnings, equity and
cash flows for the period from January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997 and for the
year ended December 31, 1996 reflect the combined operations of Wiscold and
Total Logistic. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. TLC
operates in two industry segments (i) refrigerated and non-refrigerated
warehousing, and (ii) integrated third-party logistics services including
distribution and transportation services predominately in the Midwestern United
States.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Transportation revenue is recognized when the goods
are delivered to the customer. Warehousing revenue is recognized as services are
provided. Costs and related expenses are recorded as incurred.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance
for uncollectable accounts of $200,000 and $310,000 at December 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. The provision for bad debts was $145,000, $106,000 and
$248,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
INVENTORIES: Inventories consist of transportation equipment repair parts
and commodities held for distribution under an exclusive logistic contract.
These items are carried at their lower of FIFO (first-in, first-out) cost or
market value. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, inventories are comprised of the
following:

FIXED ASSETS: Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated
depreciation, which is computed using both straight-line and accelerated methods
for financial reporting purposes. The cost of major renewals and improvements
are capitalized; repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Tires
related to new equipment are included in the capitalized equipment cost and
depreciated using the same methods as equipment. Replacement tires are expensed
when placed in service. A summary of the cost of fixed assets, accumulated
depreciation and the estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes is
as follows:

GOODWILL: Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years
($157,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996). The accumulated amortization at December 31,
1998 and 1997 was $758,000 and $601,000, respectively. TLC continually evaluates
whether events or circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining
estimated useful life may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of
goodwill may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that goodwill should be
evaluated for possible impairment, TLC uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash
flows over the remaining life of the goodwill to measure whether the goodwill is
impaired. If impaired, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying
value exceeds the fair value.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: TLC considers all highly liquid investments with
original maturities of less than ninety days to be cash equivalents.
INCOME PER MEMBERSHIP UNIT: Basic and Diluted Income per Membership Unit
have been restated in accordance with SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share" and have
been computed based on the weighted number of units as if the units had been
outstanding for all periods presented. As TLC does not have dilutive financial
instruments, basic and diluted income per membership unit are the same for all
periods presented.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS: During 1997, TLC adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and Assets to be Disposed of." Adoption of this standard did
not have an impact on TLC's financial position or results of operations. TLC
continually evaluates whether events or circumstances have occurred that may
indicate the remaining estimated useful life of long-lived assets may warrant
revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors
indicate that long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, TLC
uses an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the
long-lived assets to measure whether the long-lived assets are impaired. If
impaired, a loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value
exceeds the fair value.

B. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, TLC had amounts due to Christiana of
$3,000,000 which represented a note payable to Christiana that bears interest at
a rate of 8.0% per annum. Related party interest expense was $240,000 for 1998,
1997 and 1996. Prior to the combination of Wiscold and Total Logistic, Total
Logistic charged Christiana a management fee related to certain administrative
services rendered by TLC on behalf of Christiana. The amount of this management
fee was $120,000 and $240,000 for 1997 and 1996, respectively, and is reflected
as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the statement
of earnings. The amount of services rendered by Christiana on behalf of TLC for
1998, 1997 and 1996 is not material.
During 1997, TLC made a payment on behalf of Christiana to retire a
promissory note and accrued interest thereon in the amount of $2,326,000. TLC
also repaid $295,000 of debt to Christiana during 1997. TLC is required make
distributions to Christiana for current taxes payable attributable to TLC's
income. During 1998, TLC recorded distributions to Christiana for income taxes
of $1,757,000. Also during 1998, TLC made a distribution to Christiana of
$10,000,000 to fund Christiana's purchase of additional shares of Waterford
International, Inc. in accordance with a Merger Agreement (Note H). These
distributions to Christiana are reflected as reductions to Member's Equity in
1998 and 1997 as applicable.
C. INDEBTEDNESS:

============ ============
</TABLE>
TLC has a revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings at
December 31, 1998 of up to $70,000,000. Borrowings under this agreement mature
on November 2, 2003 and bear interest, payable monthly at either LIBOR plus 100
basis points, or a floating rate at the bank's prime rate (6.9% at December 31,
1998) and are secured by substantially all of TLC's assets. The revolving
credit agreement requires, among other things, that defined levels of net worth
and debt service coverage be maintained and restricts certain activities
including limitation on new indebtedness and the disposition of assets. As of
December 31, 1998, TLC was in compliance with all covenants. No compensating
balances are required under the terms of this credit facility.
TLC's subordinated note bears interest at 8% and is guaranteed by
Christiana.

As of December 31, 1998, the future maturities of consolidated indebtedness
are as follows:
<TABLE>

</TABLE>
The weighted average interest rate paid on short-term borrowings 7.69% and
7.65% for 1998 and 1997, respectively. The carrying value of TLC's debt
approximates fair value. The carrying amount of TLC's floating rate debt was
assumed to approximate its fair value. The fair value of TLC's fixed-rate,
long-term notes payable was based on the market value of debt with similar
maturities and interest rates. The fixed-rate subordinated note that was given
to a former owner of TLC was negotiated in the overall context of the
acquisition. TLC believes it is impracticable to obtain the current fair value
of this note because of the excessive costs that would have to be incurred to
obtain this information.
D. INCOME TAXES:
Prior to July 1, 1997, TLC was included in the consolidated income tax
return of Christiana. The amounts reflected in the financial statements are as
if TLC was filing on a stand-alone basis. Income taxes paid as shown in the
statement of cash flows represents combined cash payments made to Christiana by
TLC.
Effective June 30, 1997, TLC converted from a C-Corporation to a Limited
Liability Company. For purposes of taxation, all earnings of TLC are passed
through to its members and taxed at the member level. As TLC was no longer a
taxable entity as of June 30, 1997, all deferred taxes of TLC were removed from
the balance sheet. The removal of these deferred taxes due to TLC's change in
tax status resulted in an increase to earnings of $11,171,000 during fiscal
1997. The $515,000 and $304,000 provision for income taxes for 1997 and 1996,
respectively, represents the combined Federal and state income tax provision for
the periods during which TLC was a C-Corporation.
A summary of TLC's provision for income taxes is as follows:

In the event that TLC was a taxable entity, a net deferred tax liability of
$11,477,000 and $11,523,000 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 would have been
recorded on the balance sheet. The components are as follows:

E. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:
Prior to the combination of Wiscold and Total Logistic Control, TLC had two
401(k) plans covering substantially all employees. Upon formation of TLC these
plans were merged to form one continuing plan. The expense incurred by TLC
related to these plans is not material. TLC does not provide post employment
medical or insurance benefits.
F. COMMITMENTS:
TLC has operating leases for warehousing and office facilities along with
certain transportation equipment. Rental expense under these leases was
$6,017,000, $6,965,000 and $6,483,000 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At
December 31, 1998, future minimum lease payments under these operating leases
are as follows:

G. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
During 1998, TLC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components. Components of comprehensive income are net income and all other
non-member changes in equity. TLC does not have any other comprehensive income
items. Accordingly, comprehensive income and net income are the same for all
periods presented.

<PAGE> 19
During 1998, the Financial Accountings Standards Board released Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivatives and hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet
and measure those instruments at fair value. As TLC does not use derivatives nor
engage in hedging activities, this statement will not have an impact on TLC's
financial position. Adoption of this statement is required by TLC beginning on
January 1, 2000.
H. WEATHERFORD INTERNATIONAL, INC. MERGER AGREEMENT:
On December 12, 1997, Christiana entered in an agreement with Weatherford
International, Inc. ("Weatherford") whereby Weatherford would purchase all of
the outstanding shares of Christiana. The terms of the merger provided that each
Christiana common share would be converted into (i).7453 shares of Weatherford
International, Inc. common stock, (ii) cash in the approximate amount of $4.00,
depending upon the balance of certain assets and liabilities at the time of
closing and (iii) a contingent cash payment of approximately $1.92 after 5
years, subject to the incurrence of any indemnity claims by Weatherford during
this period.
On August 17, 1998, the shareholders of both Weatherford and Christiana
overwhelmingly approved the Merger agreement and sale of TLC to C2, Inc.
However, due to a decline in the value of Weatherford's common stock price, the
merger transaction was postponed until the conditions were met for Christiana's
shareholders to not recognize any taxable gain or loss on their exchange of
Christiana shares for Weatherford common stock in the merger. To meet this
requirement, Weatherford's stock price was to be approximately $30.00 per share.
On October 14, 1998, Weatherford and Christiana amended the merger agreement
in order to complete the merger on a partially tax-free basis. The revised
merger agreement eliminated the requirement for a contingent cash payment after
five years. This cash payment was instead used by Christiana to purchase
additional Weatherford common stock in the open market. Additionally, Christiana
agreed to spend up to $5 million of available cash to purchase additional shares
of Weatherford stock, if necessary. The share price of Weatherford stock needed
to consummate the merger was reduced from $30 to approximately $13 per share.
By its terms, the Merger Agreement was consummated on February 8, 1999. At
or prior to the completion of the merger:
(1) TLC declared and paid a $20,000,000 dividend to Christiana. $10,000,000
was declared and paid during 1998 while the remaining $10,000,000 was
declared and paid during 1999, prior to the merger.
(2) Christiana sold 666.667 Membership Units (two-thirds) of TLC to C2, Inc.
(a newly formed corporation) for $10,667,000.
(3) TLC agreed to indemnify Christiana for certain liabilities of
Christiana.

I. SEGMENT INFORMATION:
TLC divides its operations into two primary segments - warehousing services
and logistic services. These segments are determined based upon the primary
service lines provided to customers by TLC. However, TLC provides multiple
services from both segments to many customers.
TLC's warehousing segment operates twelve distribution warehouses consisting
of seven refrigerated and five non-refrigerated. These distribution centers
offer storage, order selection, assembly and repackaging services in addition to
inventory management services. In addition, TLC's refrigerated warehousing
operations offer temperature sensitive storage, blast freezing and individual
quick freeze (IQF) and packaging services.
TLC's logistic segment offers transportation and logistics management
services in addition to international transportation and foodservice
distribution services. These services are provided using both owned equipment
and third party carrier management services.
Segment profit for 1998 is revenues less direct and allocable operating
expenses. Segment profit for 1997 and 1996 reflects only the segment gross
margin as TLC did not specifically allocate selling, general and administrative
expenses to its warehousing and logistic segments during these years. Corporate
items include interest expense, interest income, amortization expense, other
income/expense and income taxes. Corporate items for 1997 and 1996 also include
all selling, general and administrative expenses. Beginning in 1998, all
corporate depreciation and amortization has been included as a component of
warehousing and logistic segment profit. Corporate assets are principally cash
and cash equivalents, goodwill, prepaid items and certain nonoperating fixed
assets. Corporate capital expenditures consist primarily of computer equipment
and software and other nonoperating fixed assets.
