ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.
 
     On April 12, 1995, Fritz Companies, Inc. (the "Registrant") entered into an
amendment of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Amendment") dated as
of February 14, 1995, by and among the Registrant, Fritz Air Freight, a wholly
owned subsidiary of the Registrant, ("Merger Sub"), and Intertrans Corporation
("Intertrans") (the "Plan of Reorganization") which provides for the merger (the
"Merger") of Merger Sub with and into Intertrans. A copy of the Amendment is
attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. In the event the Merger is consummated,
Intertrans will be held as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.
 
     Under the terms of the Amendment, if the Average Fritz Trading Price (as
defined below) is greater than $55.00, Intertrans shareholders will receive
0.365 of a share of Registrant common stock for each share of Intertrans common
stock. The Amendment also provides that the Registrant does not have the right
to terminate the Merger if the Average Fritz Trading Price exceeds $55.00. Prior
to adoption of the Amendment, the Plan of Reorganization provided that, in the
event the Average Fritz Trading Price was greater than $55.00, the Registrant
had the right to accept an Exchange Ratio of 0.380 or terminate the Merger
unless Intertrans agreed to accept an Exchange Ratio equal to $20.90 divided by
the Average Fritz Trading Price.
 
     Pursuant to the Amendment, each outstanding share of Intertrans' common
stock will be converted into the right to receive that fraction of a share of
the Registrant's common stock as is equal to the "Exchange Ratio," which shall
be determined as follows:
 
          (i) if the Average Fritz Trading Price (as defined below) is at least
              equal to $46.15 but not greater than $47.37, the Exchange Ratio
              will equal the quotient of (A) $18.00 divided by (B) the Average
              Fritz Trading Price, calculated to the nearest one-one thousandth
              of a share;
 
          (ii) if the Average Fritz Trading Price is at least equal to $41.00
               but less than or equal to $46.15, the Exchange Ratio will equal
               0.390;
 
          (iii) if the Average Fritz Trading Price is greater than or equal to
                $47.37 but not greater than $55.00, the Exchange Ratio will
                equal 0.380;
 
          (iv) if the Average Fritz Trading Price is less than $41.00,
               Intertrans will have the right to terminate the Plan of
               Reorganization unless Registrant elects to increase the Exchange
               Ratio to a fraction equal to (A) $16.00 divided by (B) such
               Average Fritz Trading Price, calculated to the nearest one-one
               thousandth of a share; or
 
          (v) if the Average Fritz Trading Price is greater than $55.00, the
              Exchange Ratio will equal 0.365.
 
     As used above, the term "Average Fritz Trading Price" means the arithmetic
mean of each of the closing sale prices per share of the Registrant's common
stock on the Nasdaq National Market for each of the twenty (20) trading days
ending on the fourth trading day immediately preceding the scheduled date of the
first to occur of the shareholders' meetings of the Registrant and Intertrans
convened to approve the Merger and the issuance of shares in connection
therewith.
 
     The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Registrant and the Annual Meeting
of Shareholders of Intertrans are scheduled to occur on May 30, 1995. The Merger
is expected to close shortly thereafter.

     2. DEFINED TERMS.  All references in the Merger Agreement and this
Amendment to the "Merger" shall be deemed to be references to the terms of the
