Item 2.           Acquisition and Disposition of Assets.

                           On May 7, 1997 (the "Closing Date"), the Registrant
                  consummated a purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock
                  of each of Rapid Delivery Services, Inc. ("Rapid"), a New York
                  corporation, and Worldwide Logistics Services, Inc.
                  ("Worldwide"), a New York corporation (collectively,
                  "Rapid-Worldwide"), pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase
                  Agreement (the "Stock Purchase Agreement") dated as of April
                  22, 1997, by and between the Registrant, Rapid-Worldwide and
                  James Zimbler (the sole shareholder of each of Rapid and
                  Worldwide). In consideration for all of the outstanding
                  capital stock of Rapid-Worldwide, the Registrant (i) issued to
                  Mr. Zimbler unregistered shares of the Company's common stock
                  having a market value on the Closing Date of $350,000 based on
                  the average closing bid price of the Registrant's common stock
                  for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Closing
                  Date (the "Shares"), and (ii) agreed to make available to Mr.
                  Zimbler, at the discretion of the Chairman of the Registrant,
                  up to $75,000 to be used exclusively for the operations of
                  Rapid-Worldwide. The Shares, which are "restricted"
                  securities, as that term is defined by Rule 144 of the
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), are to be
                  issued to Mr. Zimbler in four (4) equal installments
                  commencing with the first payment on the Closing Date, and the
                  remaining three equal payments to be made four, eight and
                  twelve months after the Closing Date, respectively. Mr.
                  Zimbler will continue to serve as President of Rapid-
                  Worldwide for at least two (2) years, unless terminated for
                  cause, and will be paid a salary of $60,000 per annum.

                           The purchase price for Rapid-Worldwide is subject to
                  adjustment subsequent to the Closing Date. In the event that
                  the gross revenues generated by Rapid-Worldwide for the first
                  twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the "Period") are
                  less than $750,000, for each $50,000 increment less than
                  $750,000 in revenues, Mr. Zimbler will immediately return ten
                  percent (10%) of the Shares to the Registrant. In the event
                  that the gross sales of Rapid-Worldwide equal at least
                  $750,000 for the Period, and Rapid-Worldwide has net sales of
                  $100,000 or more for the Period, Mr. Zimbler shall receive a
                  bonus of $60,000, payable in shares of the Registrant's common
                  stock, based on the average closing bid price of the
                  Registrant's common stock for the last five (5) trading days
                  of the Period. In addition, in the event that the gross sales
                  of Rapid-Worldwide are in excess of $750,000 for the Period,
                  and Rapid-Worldwide has net sales in excess of $100,000 for
                  the

                                        1

                  Period, for every $100,000 in net sales in excess of the
                  initial $100,000 in net sales (if any) of Rapid-Worldwide
                  with respect the Period, Mr. Zimbler shall receive an
                  additional bonus of $10,000, payable in shares of the
                  Registrant's common stock, calculated in the same manner as
                  discussed in the preceding sentence.

                           The Registrant has the right during the eighteen (18)
                  month period from the Closing Date to repurchase all or any
                  part of the Shares at a price equal to the original purchase
                  price, plus ten percent (10%).

                           Rapid offers same-day delivery service for shipments
                  within the eastern United States, and next day delivery to the
                  western United States. Worldwide offers single source
                  solutions for transportation and logistics management from
                  point of origin to point of consumption.

                           The disclosure contained herein is qualified in its
                  entirety by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, a copy
                  of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.

Item 9.           Sale of Equity Securities Pursuant to Regulation S.

                           On May 7, 1997, the Registrant issued to Oriental New
                  Investments, Ltd. ("Oriental"), pursuant to Regulation S under
                  the Act ("Regulation S"), a convertible debenture (the
                  "Debenture") in the principal amount of $100,000. Oriental
                  may, at its option, acquire up to an additional five (5)
                  $100,000 principal amount convertible debentures, for an
                  aggregate purchase price of $500,000, at any time prior to
                  December 31, 1997 upon the approval of the Registrant. The
                  principal amount of the Debenture is due and payable to
                  Oriental six (6) months from the Closing Date, although
                  Oriental may, at its sole discretion, extend the term of the
                  Debenture for successive six (6) month periods. Interest on
                  the Debenture accrues at the rate of ten percent (10%) per
                  annum until paid or converted and is due and payable quarterly
                  beginning on July 31, 1997. The Registrant may redeem the
                  Debenture and accrued interest thereon, in whole or in part,
                  at any time and from time to time prior to maturity, without
                  premium or penalty, upon no less than thirty (30) days and not
                  more than sixty (60) days written notice to Oriental;
                  provided, however, that the giving of any notice of redemption
                  shall not prohibit the holder from thereafter exercising its
                  right to convert the Debenture in whole or in part prior to
                  the actual date of redemption.

                           The Debenture and interest thereon is convertible,
                  after the expiration of the Regulation S restrictive period,
                  in whole or in part into a number of shares of common stock of
                  the Registrant equal to the dollar amount to be converted
                  divided by fifty percent (50%) of the average closing bid
                  price for the Registrant's common stock as reported by the
                  NASD Electronic Bulletin Board for the ten (10) days prior to
                  the date of Oriental's notice of conversion (the "Notice") to
                  the Registrant.

                           If within five (5) business days of receiving the
                  Notice, the Registrant shall fail to issue certificates for
                  the shares required by the Notice, or issue certificates with
                  restrictive legends after the expiration of the Regulation S
                  restrictive period, for any reason other than the Registrant's
                  reasonable good faith belief that the representations and
                  warranties made by Oriental in connection with the transaction
                  are not true, then the Registrant shall be required to effect
                  the registration under the Act of the shares underlying the
                  Debenture, as promptly as practicable. Furthermore, if the
                  Registrant fails to issue certificates for the shares
                  underlying the Debenture,

                                        3

                  or issue certificates with restrictive legends after the
                  expiration of the Regulation S restrictive period, for any
                  reason other than the Registrant's reasonable good faith
                  belief that the representations and warranties made by
                  Oriental in connection with the transaction are not true, then
                  the Registrant must pay to Oriental a penalty in the amount of
                  $25,000, or twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding
                  principal and accrued interest with respect to the Debenture,
                  whichever is less.

                           In making the sale of the Debenture, the Registrant
                  relied on the representations and warranties of Oriental that
                  Oriental is not a "U.S. person," as such term is defined under
                  Regulation S.

4.   MR. ZIMBLER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         Mr. Zimbler hereby represents and warrants to PKGP as follows:

     4.1  Organization and Good Standing. Rapid-Worldwide and their
          subsidiaries, if any, are corporations duly organized, validly
          existing and in good standing under the laws of the states of their
          incorporation. Rapid-Worldwide has authority to own, operate and lease

          thereto, of Rapid-Worldwide and their subsidiaries have been delivered
          to PKGP and are complete and correct as of the date hereof.
          Rapid-Worldwide is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
          corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
          character of their properties owned or leased or the nature of their
          activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the
          failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not have a
          materially adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or
          financial condition of Rapid-Worldwide.

     4.2  Capitalization. Rapid-Worldwide has the authorized, issued and
          outstanding capital stock set forth in Schedule A hereto. All of such

          authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out his

          contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by Rapid-Worldwide's
          Boards of Directors and no other corporate action or proceeding on the
          part of Mr. Zimbler or Rapid-Worldwide is necessary for the execution

          by Mr. Zimbler of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement
          has been duly executed and delivered by Mr. Zimbler and (assuming
          this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by PKGP) is a

          Worldwide, enforceable against Mr. Zimbler and Rapid-Worldwide in
          accordance with its terms.

     4.4  Non Conflict; No Consents or Approvals Required. Neither the execution
          and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated hereby by Mr. Zimbler will, with or without
          notice or passage of time, or both, (i) violate any provision of the
          charter documents or by-laws of Rapid-Worldwide, (ii) violate any law,
          rule, regulation, ordinance, order, writ, injunction, judgment or

          contract, instrument or obligation to which Mr. Zimbler or
          Rapid-Worldwide is a party or by which Mr. Zimbler or Rapid-

          affected, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any

          or order of any court, governmental department, commission, agency,
          instrmentality or arbitrator outstanding against Rapid-Worldwide
          having, or which, insofar as can be foreseen, in the future would be
          likely to have, any such effect.

          not in material default under any contract made or obligation owed by
