NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. GENERAL
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Fritz
Companies, Inc. (the Company) for the three and nine months ended February 29,
1996 and February 28, 1995 are unaudited and in the opinion of management,
contain all material adjustments which consist only of normal and recurring
adjustments, except for the adjustments described below in Note 5, necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of such periods. Effective May 31, 1995 the
Company changed its fiscal year end of December 31 to a fiscal year end of May
31. On May 30, 1995 the Company completed its merger with Intertrans Corporation
(Intertrans). The February 28, 1995 period represents combined operating results
reported for Fritz Companies, Inc. and Intertrans for the three and nine months
ended December 31, 1994 and January 31, 1995, respectively, accounted for on
pooling of interests basis.
During the three months ended February 29, 1996, the Company entered
and recorded certain transactions relating to merger and related costs,
acquisitions and logistics services. See Note 5 below for further discussion.
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are
described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended May 31, 1995. In accordance with SEC regulations, certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted for the purposes of the condensed consolidated interim
financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, including the
notes thereto, for the year ended May 31, 1995 included in the Company's Form
10-K filed on August 28, 1995. The results of operations for the three and nine
months ended February 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.
2. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On October 2, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
two-for-one stock split effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend that was
distributed on October 30, 1995 to stockholders of record on October 13, 1995.
Stockholders' equity has been adjusted to give effect to the stock split for the
prior periods. In addition, all references in the financial statements to number
of shares, per share amounts, stock option data and the Company's common stock
have been adjusted.
The Company also retired all of its 15.3 million shares of treasury
stock on October 1, 1995. As a result, common stock was debited for $153,000 and
paid-in capital for $34.8 million. The reduction in paid-in capital was
partially offset by stock options exercised for $15.6 million for nine months
ended February 29, 1996 and related tax benefit for $11.4 million. The tax
benefit is related to the difference between the market price at the date of
exercise and the option price.
During the nine months ended February 29, 1996, the Company granted
options for the purchase of 299,608 shares of common stock, net of
cancellations, and made restricted stock grants of 199,378 shares, net of
forfeitures, under the 1992 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan.

<PAGE> 7
FRITZ COMPANIES, INC. FORM 10-Q/A
3. INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense for the nine months ended February 29, 1996
consisted of approximately $14.9 million of current tax provision and $0.4
million of net deferred tax provision.
4. ACQUISITIONS
In the nine months ended February 29, 1996, the Company acquired
eight freight forwarding customs brokerage companies, and purchased additional
interests in companies for an aggregate purchase price of $26.4 million
consisting of cash of $19.8 million and net obligations payable of $6.6 million.
Of the total acquisition price, the Company acquired current assets of $34.0
million, fixed assets of $9.6 million, noncurrent assets of $4.8 million,
current liabilities of $31.8 million and noncurrent liabilities of $4.8 million.
Intangible assets of $14.6 million were recorded in connection with these
acquisitions, which are being amortized on a straight line basis over various
lives ranging from three to forty years.
5. ADJUSTMENTS RELATED TO RESTATEMENT
In connection with the preparation of the year end financial
statements, the Company completed an analysis of merger and related costs and
other transactions during the year, and concluded certain adjustments were
necessary for the third quarter of 1996. The Company has accordingly restated
its financial statements for the quarterly period ended February 29, 1996. The
items requiring adjustment were as follows:
Merger and Related Costs
In May 1995, the Company merged with Intertrans in a transaction
accounted for as a pooling of interests. In connection with the merger, the
Company originally estimated and recorded approximately $30 million of merger
and related costs, of which approximately $12.5 million was accrued under
applicable accounting guidelines. For the year ended May 31,1996, the Company
identified additional merger and related costs of $14.6 million, of which
approximately $4.6 million were incurred in the third quarter of fiscal year
1996, and the remaining balance in the fourth quarter. These third quarter
charges consist primarily of EDP systems integration costs that previously had
been capitalized.
Other Items
The Company recorded adjustments which represent the effect of
consolidating certain subsidiaries acquired as of the closing date rather than
as originally recorded using the effective date provided in the purchase
agreement. The effect of these adjustments was to reduce revenue by
approximately $26 million, net revenue by approximately $8 million and pre-tax
income by approximately $0.9 million.
The Company also recorded adjustments to restate revenue, net
revenue and pre-tax income pending receipt of additional documentation and
information. The effect of these adjustments was to reduce revenue and net
revenue by approximately $5 million and by approximately $3 million of pre-tax
income for logistics services provided to a customer through an agent. Although
the Company believes the services were performed, it has deferred recognition of
revenue pending receipt of additional documentation and payment from the agent
to substantiate completion of the earnings process. The remaining adjustment
comprises approximately $2 million of revenue and net revenue and $0.5 million
of pre-tax income relating to transactions requiring additional documentation
and information that the Company is seeking to obtain.
Further, the Company recorded additional operating expenses of
approximately $2.0 million primarily related to software development costs that
previously had been capitalized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following discussion is of the Company's financial condition and
results of operations for the three and nine months ended February 29, 1996 and
February 28, 1995. See Note 1 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements. The merger with Intertrans was completed on May 30, 1995. The
results of the prior year for comparison purposes are based on the reported
revenues and earnings of the Company and Intertrans of last year, accounted as a
pooling of interests.
As discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, the Company has restated its third quarter of fiscal year 1996
financial statements. The changes from the restatement have been reflected
throughout these financial statements.
For nine months ended February 29, 1996, the Company further expanded
its domestic infrastructure by acquiring a freight logistics company, MDS
(Atlantic), Inc. in New Jersey, and a warehousing and distribution facility in
Charleston, South Carolina.
The Company also augmented its international operations by acquiring
Nielsen Global Freight Corporation (Nielsen), one of the largest logistics
service companies in Finland providing air and sea freight forwarding, customs
clearance, inland freight consolidation, warehousing and logistics management
in Finland. Nielsen is headquartered in Helsinki. The Company also acquired
Quick Freight (Pty) Ltd. and Quickair (Pty) Ltd., an international freight
forwarder and customs broker headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa and
expanded its operations in Asia with the acquisition of Logistics (Holdings)
Ltd., a Hong Kong based international NVOCC operator and Amel Express Limited,
a Hong Kong based air and ocean freight forwarder with emphasis on the garment
on hanger business from Hong Kong to New York. In Latin America, freight
forwarding/customs brokerage operations were expanded with the acquisition of
Stair/Stanzione Group, Rex Air Freight, and Consolidados De Carga with offices
in Venezuela, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama and Peru. In Canada, operations were
expanded with the acquisition of Robinson and Heath, Ltd., headquartered in
Toronto, with offices located in Ontario, Montreal and Vancouver; and George
Fairman Custom House Brokers Consultant Ltd. based in Toronto. These two
companies provide customs brokerage and consulting services, international
freight forwarding and warehousing and distribution services.

FRITZ COMPANIES, INC. FORM 10-Q/A
THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY
28, 1995
REVENUE AND NET REVENUE: For the third quarter of fiscal year 1996,
revenue increased 2% to $241.1 million from $237.0 million in 1995, and net
revenue increased 6% to $103.8 million from $97.8 million in 1995. The results
of operations for the principal services areas in which the Company is engaged
are more fully described below and in addition, due to the accounting year
changes, the comparable period of last year includes a significant portion
of the calendar fourth quarter which was a peak season for the Company
("seasonality effect"). In addition, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements.
CUSTOMS BROKERAGE: For the third quarter of fiscal year 1996, net
revenue decreased 3.8% to $31.0 million from $32.2 million in 1995. The decrease
in net revenue was attributable to growth in the Company's customer base being
outweighed by the "seasonality effect." As a percentage of the Company's net
revenue customs brokerage represented 29.8%, down from 33.0% in the prior period
as the Company's other logistics and transportation services grew at a faster
rate primarily due to acquisitions, new clients and the "seasonality effect."
OCEAN FREIGHT FORWARDING: For the third quarter of fiscal year 1996,
revenue increased 23.4% to $76.5 million from $62.0 million in 1995 and net
revenue increased 4.5% to $22.6 million from $21.6 million in 1995. The
expansion of Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) and ocean export
activities in Europe and Asia accounted for the majority of the increase in the
third quarter.
AIRFREIGHT FORWARDING: For the third quarter of fiscal year 1996,
revenue decreased 10.6% to $112.6 million from $126.1 million in 1995 and net
revenue increased 14.4% to $34.9 million from $30.5 million in 1995. While
revenue growth was down, due principally to "seasonality effect," the
airfreight margin expansion from the Company's merger with Intertrans continued
to improve.
WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION: For the third quarter of fiscal year
1996, revenue increased 25.5% to $20.9 million from $16.7 million in 1995 and
net revenue increased 14.2% to $15.3 million from $13.4 million in 1995. The
growth was attributable primarily to the Company's acquisition of a
warehousing/distribution concern and increased penetration of domestic
services from existing integrated logistics customers on inbound shipments from
Asia and Europe to the United States.
OPERATING EXPENSES: Operating expenses for the third quarter of fiscal
year 1996 increased 16.9% to $98.2 million from $84.0 million for the prior
period principally due to additional merger and related costs, warehouse
related expenses and the "seasonality effect."

NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY

REVENUE AND NET REVENUE: Revenue for the nine months ended February 29,
1996 increased 24% to $783.6 million from $631.7 million in 1995, and net
revenue increased 26.8% to $338.5 million from $267.0 million in 1995. As a
result of the Company's focus on integrated transportation logistics services
for existing and new customers, geographic expansion, and strategic
acquisitions, all of the Company's principal service areas reported revenue
increases. The results of operations for the principal service areas in which
the Company is engaged are more fully described below.
CUSTOMS BROKERAGE: For the nine months ended February 29, 1996, net
revenue increased 14.1% to $104.0 million from $91.2 million in 1995. The
increase in net revenue was attributable to growth in the Company's existing
customer base and new clients. As a percentage of the Company's net revenue,
customs brokerage represented 30.7%, down from 34.2% in the prior period as the
Company's other logistics and transportation services grew at a faster rate
primarily due to acquisitions and new clients.
OCEAN FREIGHT FORWARDING: For the nine months ended February 29, 1996,
revenue increased 37.0% to $242.6 million from $177.0 million and net revenue
increased 29.2% to $76.4 million from $59.1 million in 1995. The expansion of
NVOCC and ocean export activities in Europe and Asia accounted for the majority
of the increase for the nine months ended February 29, 1996.
AIRFREIGHT FORWARDING: For the nine months ended February 29, 1996,
revenue increased 14.7% to $371.0 million from $323.4 million in 1995 and net
revenue increased 28.3% to $108.2 million from $84.3 million in 1995. The
Company's continued expansion of its operations in Latin America, Europe and
Asia led to volume increases in airfreight forwarding, as well as a margin
expansion from the Company's merger with Intertrans.
WAREHOUSING AND DISTRIBUTION: For the nine months ended February 29,
1996, revenue increased 64.6% to $66.0 million from $40.1 million in 1995 and
net revenue increased 54.4% to $49.9 million from $32.3 million in 1995. The
growth was attributable primarily to the Company's acquisition of a
warehousing/distribution concern and increased use of domestic services by the
Company's existing customers on inbound shipments from Asia and Europe to the
United States.
OPERATING EXPENSES: For the nine months ended February 29, 1996,
operating expenses increased 29.3% to $294.6 million from $227.8 million in
1995. Operating expenses, excluding adjustments for merger and related costs
which was discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements, were 85.7% and 85.3% of net revenue in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Improvement in operating margin, primarily as a result of the Company's merger
with Intertrans, was offset by increases in warehouse related expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's cash and equivalents increased $6.2 million to $80.5
million at February 29, 1996 from $74.3 million at May 31, 1995. This increase
was primarily due to cash provided by financing activities in excess of cash
used from operating activities and investing activities. The Company's
investing activities for this period include capital expenditures of $30.9
million and cash outlays of $17.6 million for cost of interests in acquired
companies during the nine months ended February 29, 1996.
On December 15, 1995, the Company entered into an $80 million
syndicated multi-currency credit facility (the Credit Facility) maturing
December 15, 1998. The Credit Facility replaces the Company's previous
revolving line of credit of $50 million. The primary purpose of the Facility
is to provide the Company with the resources necessary to support the rapid
growth of its business. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are unsecured.
In addition, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants
such as (i) maximum leverage ratio, (ii) minimum fixed charge coverage ratio,
and (iii) minimum current ratio. In addition, the Company has a term loan for
real estate mortgage financing in the amount of $18.5 million that will be due
on June 30, 1997.
