POWER2SHIP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization
Power2Ship, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Jaguar Investments, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on October 28, 1987. On March 11, 2003, the Company merged with Freight Rate, Inc. which became a wholly owned subsidiary and is currently its sole operating entity. The Company’s patent pending system delivers supply chain, tracking and other logistics information to freight carriers (currently trucking companies), shippers (companies sending or receiving freight) and their customers. This information, which instantly becomes accessible through the Company’s password-protected, web-based MobileMarket™ , enables users to make better-informed, cost-effective logistics decisions.

The Company is licensed by the United States Department of Transportation as a broker, arranging for transportation of freight (except household goods) by motor carriers. Since March 2003 the Company’s primary source of revenue has been derived from assisting s hippers in finding transportation to move their inbound and outbound freight and track the freight while in transit thereby enabling them to optimize their supply chain and reduce their transportation, warehousing and inventory carrying costs . Also, the Company provides carriers with free, unlimited use of a web-based asset management system which tracks the location, destination and availability of their transportation equipment. In addition to helping better manage the utilization of their assets and drivers, information about available transportation equipment that meets a shipper’s requirements automatically is offered to shippers through the MobileMarket™. The Company generates revenue, including a brokerage or transaction fee, upon delivery of any load that occurs as a result of a shipper selecting a carrier to move its freight through the P2S MobileMarket™.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS

Basis of Presentation
For accounting purposes, the merger with Freight Rate, Inc. was treated as a recapitalization of Freight Rate, Inc. and accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Therefore, the financial statements reported herein and accompanying notes thereto reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Freight Rate, Inc. as if it had been the reporting entity since inception.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2004 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles as would be included in audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six and three-month periods ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended June 30, 2005.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company incurred losses from operations of $1,805,355 and $1,386,993, respectively, and had negative cash flows from operations of $1,675,159 and $1,056,847, respectively. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has not been significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to continue raising additional funds with private placements of its debt and equity securities to accredited investors. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
 

 

 
  7  

 


Reclassifications
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders’ deficit.

Revenue Recognition
 
The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the reported revenue streams of the Company:
 
  - Freight transportation revenue consists of the total dollar value of services purchased from us by our customers. The Company recognizes freight transportation revenue when shipments of goods reach their destinations and the receiver of the goods acknowledges their receipt by signing a bill of lading. At that time, our obligations to the customer are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, establishes the criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis. In these transactions, we are the primary obligor, we are a principal to the transaction not an agent, we have the risk of loss for collection, we have discretion to select the supplier and we have latitude in pricing decisions.

  - Access services r evenue is recognized in the month that access to the P2S MobileMarket™ is provided to customers. When the Company provides equipment to customers, in conjunction with providing access services to them, on any basis in which ownership is retained by the Company, then the Company accounts for equipment provided to the customer as part of the access services agreement and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

  - Implementation services revenue, generated pursuant to software development contracts with customers, is recognized on the percentage of completion basis for each deliverable provided for in the contract. Revenue from implementation services is expected to be insignificant as a percentage of total revenue in the foreseeable future.

Stock Based Compensation
The Company uses SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provision of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148.

Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include the effects of potential dilution that would occur if securities (such as warrants) or other contracts (such as options) to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Such instruments that are convertible into common stock are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares included in the computation are not presented in the consolidated financial statements, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Research and Development
Costs incurred for research and development activities are expensed as incurred.

Software Development Costs
The Company has adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use, and Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Consensus #00-2, Accounting for Web Site Development Costs. The type of costs incurred by the Company in developing its internal use software and Web site include, but are not limited to, payroll and payroll-related costs (e.g. fringe benefits) for employees who devote time to the internal use computer software or Web site project, consulting fees, the price of computer software purchased from third parties and travel expenses incurred by employees or consultants in their duties directly associated with developing the software. These costs are either expensed or capitalized depending on the type of cost and the stage of development of the software and Web site. SOP 98-1 and EITF #00-2 define three stages of development:

  - the preliminary or planning stage includes all activities related to conceptualizing, evaluating and selecting the alternatives for implementing the project including, but not limited to, developing a project plan, determining desired functionalities and content, identifying required hardware and software tools and selecting external vendors and consultants. All internal and external costs during the preliminary project stage are expensed as incurred.
 
  - the application and infrastructure development stage begins immediately upon conclusion of the preliminary or planning stage and includes, but is not limited to, all activities related to designing the software configuration and software interfaces, acquiring or customizing the software necessary to build the application, coding, hardware installation and testing, including parallel processing. Generally, any internal and external costs incurred during the application and infrastructure development stage are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the software of three to five years. General and administrative costs and overhead costs are not capitalized. Amortization for each module or component of software begins after all substantial testing is completed and it is deemed to be ready for its intended use. The only exception to beginning amortization at that time would be if the functionality of that module or component is entirely dependent on the completion of other modules or component in which case the amortization would begin when both the module and the other modules upon which it is functionally dependent are ready for their intended use.
 
  - the post-implementation/operation stage includes, but is not limited to, activities related to training, user administration, application maintenance, system backups, routine security reviews, the costs of which are expensed as incurred. Also, upgrades and enhancements that result in additional functionality may occur during this stage, the costs of which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the upgrade or enhancement of three to five years.
 
 

 
  9  

 

At December 31, 2004, the net book value of capitalized software was $569,702. Amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 2004 was $27,046.

The Company makes ongoing evaluations of the recoverability of its capitalized internal use software and Web site by comparing the amount capitalized for each module or component of software to their estimated net realizable values. If such evaluations indicate that the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable values, the Company writes off the amount by which the unamortized costs exceed the net realizable values.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company's investment policy is to invest in low risk, highly liquid investments. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk in its cash investments.

The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $100,000 per institution. At December 31, 2004, the Company's cash balances did not exceed the insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash on deposit.

The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customer base including those that represent its accounts receivable at December 31, 2004. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses historically have been within management's expectations.
 
Advertising
Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $106,534 and $12,165, respectively.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” FIN 46 requires that if an entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. FIN 46 requires that its provisions are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. The Company does not have any variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For those arrangements entered into prior to January 31, 2003, the FIN 46 provisions are required to be adopted at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not identified any variable interest entities to date and will continue to evaluate whether it has variable interest entities that will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheet and results of operations.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, with certain exceptions. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 - CONCENTRATIONS

During the six months ended December 31, 2004, two customers accounted for 61% of the Company’s revenue with one customer representing approximately 45% and the other customer representing 16%. These same customers accounted for 55% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2004.

NOTE 4 - NOTE RECEIVABLE

In November 2004, the Company loaned $100,000 to an unaffiliated, non-asset based, freight transportation company. The loan has an interest rate of 5% per annum, matured on January 3, 2005 and is secured by a pledge of all the issued and outstanding capital stock of the borrower. The note has not been repaid as of the date of this report. The Company is preparing a definitive asset purchase agreement to purchase the business of the borrower, subject to completion of definitive agreements, pursuant to which the note would be forgiven by the Company and credited toward the purchase price. No assurance can be given regarding the consummation of this transaction.

NOTE 5 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In July and August, 2004, the Company entered into Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements with three of its executives pursuant to which each of them assigned to the Company all of their right, title and interest in and to all the intellectual property which they had contributed to the Company in the past in consideration for an aggregate of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock that is to be issued in January 2005. The Company believes that there are no other parties with any claims to any right, title and interest in and to any of the Company’s intellectual property. The shares issued in this transaction were valued at their fair market value of $226,000 and recorded as an intangible asset which is being amortized over its estimated useful life of 24 months from the effective dates of the Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements. The Company recorded amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 2004 of $47,085.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE

In October and November 2004, the Company issued two $55,000 5% unsecured promissory notes to two private investors. The maturity date of both of these notes was January 3, 2005. In conjunction with the notes, the Company paid loan fees totaling $10,000. The Company obtained waivers from both lenders as to the repayment of principal and accrued interest on January 3, 2005 and they have consented to change the maturity date of one note to February 25, 2005 and the other to April 3, 2005.

The Company sold a total of $2,000,000 principal amount of Series B 5% secured convertible debentures to Cornell Capital Partners, LP in June and December 2004. The Company recorded interest expense of $165,475, including $125,197 of deferred financing costs, for the six months ended December 31, 2004 for these debentures. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement associated with these debentures, the Company included 10.6 million shares issuable upon conversion of the debentures in a registration statement on Form SB-2 that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 2, 2004. This registration statement was withdrawn by the Company on January 24, 2005 upon being informed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration statement could not become effective based on the structure of the transactions between the Company and Cornell. The Company intends to re-file a registration statement including the shares underlying the debentures owned by Cornell. Given the reason for the withdrawal of the registration statement, the Company does not believe it is subject to the payment of liquidated or other damages specified in the registration rights agreement for failing to cause the registration statement to become effective within the period of time defined in the registration rights agreement.

The Company made its interest payment of $124,474 on the $1,747,000 principal amount of its 14.25% secured convertible debentures on December 31, 2004. The funds for this payment were obtained from the account established at Newbridge Securities Corporation pursuant to a security agreement with the holders of the debentures to provide collateral for the prompt payment of interest on the debentures. Pursuant to the security agreement, the funds are permitted to be withdrawn from the account for this purpose as long as the account is replenished within 45 days from the date of such withdrawal. The Company replenished the account on February 10, 2005.

NOTE 7 - STOCKHOLDERS' DEFICIT

Preferred Stock

During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued 596,000 shares of common stock to four shareholders upon conversion of 29,800 shares of Series B preferred stock.

 
  11  

 

Common Stock
During the three months ended December 31, 2004, the Company issued an aggregate of 450,000 shares of common stock to three consultants pursuant to consulting agreements to provide various business advisory services to the Company. These shares were recorded at their fair market value of $156,000 as deferred compensation and will be expensed according to the terms of the respective consulting agreements.

Options and Warrants
The Company’s board of directors has the authority to determine when and to whom it grants options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition, the board determines the number of options and warrants to be granted and all other terms and conditions related to these securities such as the recipients’ vesting schedules, expiration dates, exercise prices and restrictions.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options and warrants is measured as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, which require pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied.

 
For purposes of the pro forma calculations, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used:
 

   
2004
 
2003
 
Dividend yield
   
None
   
None
 
Expected volatility factor
   
70%
 
 
45%
 
Approximate risk free interest rates
   
5%
 
 
3%
 
Expected lives, in years
   
5
   
3
 
 
The determination of fair values for all stock options and warrants is based on the assumptions described in the preceding paragraph, and because additional option grants are expected to be made each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma effects on reported net income or loss for future years.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this report. For accounting purposes, our merger with Freight Rate, Inc. was treated as a recapitalization of Freight Rate, Inc. and accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Therefore, the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this report reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Freight Rate, Inc. as if it had been the reporting entity since inception. In February 2004 we changed our fiscal year from May 31 to June 30 in order to align our quarterly reporting obligations with calendar quarters.

Forward-looking Information
 
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB, including the discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations and our disclosures about market risk, contain certain “forward-looking statements.” These statements represent our expectations, beliefs, intentions, or strategies concerning future events and by their nature involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements about our future performance, the continuation of historical trends, the sufficiency of our sources of capital for future needs, the expected impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements, and the outcome or effects of litigation. Risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations include changes in market demand and pricing for our services, the impact of competition, changes in relationships with our customers, our ability to obtain sufficient carrier capacity at competitive rates to transport freight, our ability to retain shippers willing to have us move their freight, the risks associated with litigation and insurance coverage, the impacts of war on the economy, and changing economic conditions. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from our expectations based on these and other risks and uncertainties.
 

Critical Accounting Policies

Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the SEC, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The following is a brief discussion of the more significant accounting policies and methods used by us:

-       General . 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, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

-       Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes freight transportation revenue when shipments reach their destinations and the receiver acknowledges the receipt of goods by signing a bill of lading. Revenue from access fees is recognized in the month that access to our P2S MobileMarket™ is provided to customers. Revenue generated from implementation services, pursuant to software development contracts with customers defining the scope of work, is recognized on the percentage of completion basis for each deliverable provided for in the contract. Revenue from implementation services are non-recurring and are expected to significantly decrease in total and as a percent of total revenue in future periods.

-       Stock Based Compensation . The Company uses SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provision of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148.

OVERVIEW

We operate as an application service provider (ASP) that delivers supply chain, tracking and logistics information to the freight industry. We provide logistics information and services to shippers that need to have truckloads of goods transported to or from their facilities. We also provide logistics information and services to trucking companies (carriers) that operate fleets of trucks which enable these companies to manage the utilization of their transportation assets and personnel. Our mission is to provide our members with easily accessible and useful information that allows them to be more profitable by improving the utilization of transportation assets and optimizing the efficiency of the supply chain.

We began providing our freight transportation and implementation services in October 2002 and we began providing logistics information access services in March 2003. A key component of our business model is building our customer base so that we have a sufficient number of shippers and carriers utilizing our Web-based P2S MobileMarket™ system so that when a shipper customer wants to move a load of freight we can offer one or more carriers with available trucks and trailers that meet their criteria. We have been able to increase the number of shipper customers from whom we generated revenue from four at December 31, 2003 to 21 at December 31, 2004. We have entered into agreements to provide transportation services with some of our shipper customers including International Paper, Nestle Waters, Tyco International, Ltd., Tofutti Brands, Luckey Logistics, Gold Coast Freightways, Associated Grocers, Caruso Foods, Compass Roadmaster, Paper Pak and Valmont Industries. We can provide no assurance, however, as to the amount of revenue, if any, we will generate from such customers, since these agreements do not commit them to using us for any specific volume of transportation services.

We are presently able to identify available capacity among our carrier customers to move only a very small percentage of these loads. Given the tens of thousand of transportation routes in the U.S., in order to have the P2S MobileMarket™ be successful we must substantially increase the number of our carrier customers in order to capture a greater percentage of our shipper customer’s inbound and outbound transportation business. We spent $106,534 in the six months ended December 31, 2004 compared to $12,165 in the same six months of 2003 in marketing our services to potential carriers and shippers. As of December 31, 2004, approximately 1,750 carriers had registered on our website to become members as compared with approximately 270 of carriers at December 31, 2003. Of the 1,750 carriers that are currently registered to participate in our MobileMarket™, approximately 400 have entered into carrier agreements with us and provided us with proof that they maintain the required levels of liability insurance. We have used approximately 342 of these carriers to transport freight for our shipper customers. We intend to continue to increase our marketing efforts during fiscal 2005, including utilizing trade publications, transportation industry websites and direct mail as well as company participation in industry trade shows and trade organizations.

We are pursuing opportunities to provide logistics information and services to government agencies responsible for ensuring the safe and secure transportation of goods in containers aboard ships coming to U.S. ports. We believe that our P2S MobileMarket™, which was designed to capture and display vast quantities of logistics information, will assist these agencies to accomplish their goals. The information available from our P2S MobileMarket ™ is also useful to maritime companies, logistics companies, container leasing and manufacturing companies, freight forwarders, warehouse managers and other companies that provide freight management services.

We also are in discussions with several technology and defense companies that, in response to the Homeland Security Act and Operation Safe Commerce, are collaborating to develop solutions that address global transportation security issues. We believe that our secure, wireless, Internet-based system which uses a combination of global positioning satellite technologies can become a key component in the security solutions being developed by other companies to counteract the threat of terrorism. Our system is capable of capturing and processing data transmitted wirelessly from other technologies that could be part of any comprehensive security system. Examples of these technologies may include radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags fastened to containers and/or trailers, smart tags affixed to the goods inside shipping containers, electronic seals applied at the time the container is loaded and geo fencing to alert a truck’s owner or authorities if a vehicle deviates from its designated route. There can be no assurances, however, that we will ever enter into any agreements with the companies we are in discussions with or that we will ever generate any significant revenues.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months Ended December 31, 2004 compared to Six Months Ended December 31, 2003

Revenue

Total revenue generated during the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased by $598,014, or approximately 69%, as compared with total revenue generated during the comparable six months of 2003. The increase during the six month period of 2004 consisted of the following:

- Freight transportation revenue increased $757,006, or approximately 128%. Approximately $562,000 or 68% of this increase was attributable to revenue generated from Tire Kingdom and Carroll Tire, two subsidiaries of TBC Corporation. The remaining $263,000 increase in revenue was attributable to an increase in our number of shipper customers to 21 at December 31, 2004 from 4 as of December 31, 2003. We anticipate that revenue from freight transportation will increase in fiscal 2005 as discussed below.

- Revenue from access services and implementation services decreased approximately $226,822 or 100%. We generated no revenue from access services or implementation services during the six month period of 2004 as our sole contract for such services with The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc. was terminated in January 2004. Access services provide unlimited use of the information available through the Power2Ship MobileMarket™ for a fixed monthly fee. Implementation services generally involve software development related to the design, programming and testing of a custom developed interface to the Power2Ship MobileMarket™. While we market these services to current and prospective customers, we cannot predict if we will report significant revenue from access services or implementation services in future periods.

We anticipate that revenue will continue to increase in the remainder of fiscal 2005. We expect that our increased sales and marketing efforts which were begun in fiscal 2004 will result in additional shipper customers from whom we will generate increased revenues from freight transportation services. Our business model also includes, subject to the availability of sufficient financing, the acquisition of one or more non-asset based truck transportation services companies which, if consummated, also will increase our revenue. We are not, however, a party to any definitive acquisition agreements as of the date of this report. Finally, we entered into a letter of intent with L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. in October 2004 and expect to enter into more research and development or similar agreements related to global transportation security with L-3 Communications and other technology and/or defense companies that will generate additional revenue during fiscal year 2005. The letter of intent with L-3 Communications deals with working together on projects related to monitoring applications associated with container tracking and security status as well as carrier and shipper logistics. There can be no assurances, however, that we will enter into a definitive agreement with L-3 Communication or, if we do, that we will ever generate any significant revenue or profits from such agreement.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2004 increased by $1,016,376 or approximately 45% compared to the same six month period during 2003 which was comprised of the following:
 

- Freight transportation expense, consisting of charges from trucking companies that we hired to transport freight for our shipper customers, increased by $757,006, or approximately 137%, in the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared with the same period during 2003. Freight transportation expense is a variable cost that, during periods when gross margins are constant, increases by relatively the same percentage as freight transportation revenue. We expect freight transportation expense to increase proportionately with the increase in freight transportation revenue for the remainder of fiscal year 2005.


 
 
17
 

 


-   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $259,369 or approximately 15% during the six month period ended December 31, 2004 which consisted of the following:

  - Salaries, benefits and consulting fees decreased by $44,301 or approximately 4% during the six months ended December 31, 2004 as higher salaries and benefits were more than offset by lower consulting fees as follows:

-

  Salaries and benefits increased by $151,303 or approximately 22% to $846,995 in the six month period ended December 31,
   2004 from $695,691 in the same six months of 2003. This increase primarily was due to salary increases.
 

  Consulting fees decreased by $195,604 or approximately 40% in the six month period ended December 31, 2004 to       
  $287,054  from $482,658 in the same six months of 2003. This decrease was attributed to having fewer consultants.
 
We expect salaries, benefits and consulting expenses in the remainder of fiscal year 2005 to remain relatively constant, with increases in salaries and fringe benefits anticipated to be offset by a decrease in consulting expenses.

  - Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $303,670 or approximately 58% during the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the same months of 2003. The expenses that contributed most to this increase were:

-   Advertising and marketing expenses, including convention and trade show expenses, increased by $94,369 or approximately 776% to $106,534 during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $12,165 in same six months of 2003. This increase was attributed to hiring a public relations firm and increasing the amount we spent to advertise our products and services to shippers and carriers in trade publications, transportation industry websites and other media. We expect advertising and marketing expenses in the remainder of fiscal year 2005 to continue to increase as we increase our advertising to shippers and carriers.

-   Amortization expense associated with intangible assets increased to $47,085 during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $0 during the same six months of 2003. This increase was a result of the Company having acquired certain intellectual property from three of its executives in July and August of 2004 in consideration for an aggregate of 600,000 shares of its common stock valued at $226,000. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful life of 24 months.

-   Web hosting expense increased by $43,406 or approximately 134% to $75,786 during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $32,380 in the same six months of 2003. This increase was a result of our receiving a one-time credit of $30,982 from our Web hosting vendor in fiscal 2003 as restitution for service problems we encountered. Web hosting expense is expected to remain constant for the remainder of fiscal year 2005 at the rate incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2004.

-   Legal fees and expenses increased by $36,490 or approximately 39% to $130,458 during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $93,968 in the same six months of 2003. This increase resulted from our requiring a greater amount of legal services to prepare and review agreements and other documents incurred in the ordinary course of business including our required public filings, customer contracts and securities offerings and to represent us in various legal proceedings. In addition, we incurred significant legal expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2004 related to the preparation of our registration statement on Form SB-2 and amendments thereto which subsequently was withdrawn. We expect overall legal expenses to remain constant for the remainder of fiscal year 2005 at the rate incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2004 as we anticipate filing one or more registration statements, offering additional securities and entering into acquisitions or joint ventures, although no assurances can be made regarding the occurrence of such events .

-   Rent expense increased by $32,230 or approximately 52% to $93,829 during the six months ended December 31, 2004 from $61,599 in the same six months of 2003. This increase was a result of the one-year period of discounted rent negotiated with our landlord coming to an end at the end of May 2004. Rent expense is expected to remain constant for the remainder of fiscal year 2005 at the rate incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2004.

Other Income (Expenses)

     Total other expenses increased by $171,246 or approximately 69% during the six months ended December 31, 2004 as compared with the same six month of 2003. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in interest expense of $200,418, or approximately 91% associated with a net increase of approximately $3,800,000 in our long-term debt primarily associated with our issuance of $1,747,000 principal amount of 14.25% secured convertible debentures during March and April of 2004 and $2,000,000 principal amount of 5% Series B secured convertible debentures during June and September of 2004.

We expect interest expense to be approximately $450,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 assuming no conversions or redemptions of our Series B 5% secured convertible debentures or our 14.25% secured convertible debentures, projected additional debt from our $1,000,000 revolving credit facility averages approximately $500,000 during this period and there are no other increases in debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for fiscal year 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $14,635,225, a stockholders' deficit of $2,402,204, and cash and cash equivalents of $14,529.

At December 31, 2004, we had a working capital deficit of $319,713 as compared with a working capital surplus of $603,380 at June 30, 2004. This $923,093 decrease in working capital during this six-month period was attributed to a $643,663 decrease in current assets and a $279,430 increase in current liabilities. The decrease in current assets consisted of decreases in cash of $817,601 and prepaid insurance of $43,400 partially offset by increases in accounts receivable of $117,338 and short term notes receivable of $100,000. The increase in current liabilities during this period consisted of increases in short term notes payable of $100,000 and the outstanding balance of our line of credit of $190,959 partially offset by a decrease of $11,529 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

During the six months ended December 31, 2004, our cash balance decreased by $817,601. This decrease was the result of $1,675,159 used in operating activities and $189,096 used in investing activities offset in part by $1,046,654 provided by financing activities. This compared with an increase in our cash balance of $249,847 during the six months ended December 31, 2003. This increase was attributed to $1,056,847 used in operating activities, $209,066 used in investing activities offset by $1,515,760 provided by financing activities.

During the six months ended December 31, 2004, we used $1,675,159 in operating activities which was comprised of our net loss of $2,224,452 less $351,450 of depreciation and amortization, $190,585 in non-cash expenses associated with the issuance of our common stock, options and warrants as payment for services, interest, compensation and conversions, and $7,258 in cash used for operating assets and liabilities during the period. This compared with $1,056,847 used in operating activities during the six months ended December 31, 2003 which consisted of our net loss of $1,634,844 less $61,821 of depreciation and amortization, less $498,735 of non-cash expenses associated with the issuance of our common stock, options and warrants for services, interest, compensation, conversions and litigation settlement plus $17,441 in cash provided by operating assets and liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2004 primarily consisted of $179,284 and $173,749, respectively, used in the development of internal use software.

During the six months ended December 31, 2004, we generated net cash from financing activities of $1,046,654 which consisted of $900,000 in net proceeds received from the issuance of Series B 5% secured convertible debentures, $110,000 from the issuance of short term unsecured promissory notes and $166,654 from our line of credit less a $100,000 short term secured loan to a non-asset based trucking company and $30,000 of repayments of promissory notes. This compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $1,515,760 during the six months ended December 31, 2003 which included $1,110,960 in net proceeds received from the issuance of shares of our Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $294,800 in net proceeds received from the issuance of shares of our common stock and $290,000 in proceeds from the issuance of short term promissory notes less $180,000 in repayments of promissory notes

We estimate that our cash on hand at December 31, 2004 plus $486,000 in net proceeds received since January 1, 2005 pursuant to our issuance of $360,000 of unsecured promissory notes and $180,000 of units through February 11, 2005 and additional borrowings from our $1,000,000 credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operating activities until approximately March 15, 2005. Thereafter, we will need additional working capital to fund our operations.

We entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP on June 28, 2004 pursuant to which Cornell has agreed to purchase from us, at our option, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock during the two years after the effectiveness of a registration statement that includes the shares to be sold to Cornell. On September 2, 2004, the Company filed a registration statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that included approximately $1 million worth of shares which subsequently was amended to $3.0 million. T he Company withdrew its registration statement on January 24, 2005 upon being informed by the Securities and Exchange Commission that the registration statement could not become effective based on the structure of the transactions between the Company and Cornell. In order for us to issue and sell any shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement we will have to re-file a registration statement including such shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission and have that registration statement declared effective. There are no assurances, however, as to when we will re-file a registration statement including shares underlying the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and if and when the Securities and Exchange Commission will declare such registration statement effective. In the event the registration statement does not become effective, prior to using all of our cash on hand we will be required to seek additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to find such capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

Our future capital requirements depend primarily on the rate at which we can decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market our products and services, the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market, and our ability to attract key personnel as we grow. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of Power2Ship held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations and for future acquisitions or for the integration and expansion of existing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to continue our existing operations and to continue to implement our growth and acquisition strategy could suffer if we are unable to raise the additional funds on acceptable terms which will have the effect of adversely affecting our ongoing operations and limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain profitable operations in the future. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and current burn rate, and we have a strategy whereby certain non-essential personnel and administrative costs will be reduced or eliminated so that we may continue to meet operating obligations until such time as we can raise additional working capita. If we are unable, however, to secure the necessary additional working capital as needed, we may be forced to curtail some or all of our operations.

The failure or delay by the Holder of this Note in exercising any of his rights hereunder in any instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any other instance. The Holder of this Note may not waive any of its rights, except in an instrument in writing signed by the Holder.
