                       Report of Independent Accountants


To the Stockholders of
R&M Enterprises, Inc. and
Williams Truck Brokers, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet and the related combined
statements of income, of changes in stockholders' equity and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of R&M
Enterprises, Inc, and Williams Truck Brokers, Inc. at December 31, 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. 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 audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, which 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,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

R&M ENTERPRISES, INC.
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.     Organization and Basis of Presentation

       R&M Enterprises, Inc. is a Nebraska corporation engaged in the short and
       long haul transportation services business.

       Williams Truck Brokers, Inc. is a Nebraska corporation whose business
       consists of arranging the shipment of goods for a variety of shippers
       utilizing unrelated transportation companies.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       Interim statements
       The combined financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 1998
       and 1999 contained in this report are unaudited but reflect all
       adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary
       for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The
       results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
       indicative of results for the full year.

       Principles of combination
       The combined financial statements include the accounts of R&M
       Enterprises, Inc. and Williams Truck Brokers, Inc. (collectively the
       "Company"). The Companies are affiliated through common ownership. All
       material inter-company transactions have been eliminated in combination.

       Estimates
       The process of preparing financial statements requires the use of
       estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
       revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
       transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
       Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated
       amounts.

       Revenue recognition
       Revenues and related expenses are recognized under a method which
       approximates when freight is shipped. The Company believes that
       alternative methods of revenue recognition would not result in a material
       difference in annual revenues or earnings per share.

       Cash
       The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
       original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The
       Company's cash management program utilizes zero balance accounts.

       Concentrations of credit risk
       Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
       concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts
       receivable. Two customers represent 26% and 27% of the Company's accounts
       receivable and revenue balances, respectively, at December 31, 1998.
       Although the company does not currently foresee a credit risk associated
       with these receivables, payment is dependent upon the financial stability
       of these companies.

                                       6
<PAGE>

       The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit
       and generally does not require collateral. The Company establishes an
       allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit
       risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. The
       Company's historical experience in collection of accounts receivable
       falls within the recorded allowances. Due to these factors, no additional
       credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is believed
       inherent in the Company's trade accounts receivable.

       Fair value of financial instruments
       The Company has short-term trade receivables and payables and long-term
       debt instruments, including capital leases. The carrying values of trade
       receivables and payables equal current fair value. The terms of the
       Company's revolving credit agreement include variable interest rates
       which approximate current market rates. The Company's long-term debt
       instruments include varying interest rates between 6.9% and 10.25%. Based
       on the current balance due, the fair value of these instruments does not
       differ materially from the carrying value

       Equipment
       Equipment is stated at historical cost. Except for life extending repair
       costs (such as engine overhauls), all equipment maintenance and repair
       costs are charged to operating expense as incurred. The Company
       periodically reviews the value of its equipment to determine if an
       impairment has occurred. The Company measures the potential impairment of
       its equipment by the undiscounted value of expected future operating cash
       flows in relation to the fair value of the equipment. Based on its review
       the Company does not believe an impairment of its equipment has occurred.
       Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the
       estimated useful life of the asset. Leased equipment is amortized over
       varying periods not in excess of the estimated useful life of the asset
       or lease term depending on the type of capital lease. Gain or loss upon
       retirement or disposal of equipment is recorded as income or expense. The
       ranges of depreciable lives used for financial reporting purposes are:

                                                                        Years
                                                                     -----------

          Office and shop equipment and furniture                      3 to 7


       Income taxes
       The Company is organized as an S-Corporation and is therefore exempt from
       federal and Nebraska state income tax. Taxable income of the Company is
       allocated to its shareholders for inclusion in the determination of their
       individual taxable income. Accordingly, federal and state income taxes
       are not provided for in 1998.

       Comprehensive income
       In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
       SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS 130 establishes
       standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
       components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The
       provision of SFAS 130 were adopted during the current period. The Company
       has no items of other comprehensive income at December 31, 1998.

8.   Commitments and Contingencies

     The Company had outstanding standby irrevocable letters of credit of
     approximately $191,000 at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999. These
     letters of credit which are payable at sight, collateralize the Company's

     owner. During 1998, the Company recorded lease expense, supplies expense,
