RISK FACTORS
LOSSES FROM OPERATIONS; NO ASSURANCES OF PROFITABILITY
We had net income from operations of $177,198 for the year ended December 31, 2003, $374,115 for the year ended December 31, 2002, and a net a loss from operations of $624,031 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. There can be no assurance that we will not incur additional losses in the future. Our operating expenses have increased as our business has grown and can be expected to increase significantly as a result of our expansion efforts. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient revenue to meet its operating expenditures or to operate profitably.
ECONOMIC RISKS; RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUSINESS OF TRANSPORTATION LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT
Our business is dependent upon a number of factors, over which we have little or no control, that may have a material adverse effect on our business. These factors include excess capacity in the trucking industry, significant increases or rapid fluctuations in fuel prices, interest rates, fuel taxes, government regulations, governmental and law enforcement anti-terrorism actions, tolls, license and registration fees, insurance premiums and labor costs. It is difficult at times to attract and retain qualified drivers and owner-operators. Operations also are affected by recessionary economic cycles and downturns in our customers’ business cycles, particularly in market segments and industries (such as retail and paper products) in which we have a significant concentration of customers. Seasonal factors could also adversely effect us. Our customers tend to reduce shipments after the winter holiday season and operating expenses tend to be higher in the winter months primarily due to increased operating costs in colder weather and higher fuel consumption as a result of increased idle time. Regional or nationwide fuel shortages could also have adverse effects.
DEPENDENCE ON EQUIPMENT PROVIDED BY THIRD PARTIES; RELIANCE ON INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS
The trucking industry is dependent upon transportation equipment such as chassis, containers and rail, truck and ocean services provided by independent third parties. Periods of equipment shortages have occurred historically in the transportation industry, particularly in a strong economy. If we cannot secure sufficient transportation equipment or transportation services from these third parties to meet the customers’ needs, the business, results of operations and financial position could be materially adversely effected and customers could seek to have their transportation and logistics needs met by other third parties on a temporary or permanent basis. The reliance on agents and independent contractors could reduce operating control and the strength of relationships with customers, and we may have trouble attracting and retaining agents and independent contractors.
4
NEW TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY; CONSOLIDATION AMONG CUSTOMERS
If, for any reason, our business of providing warehousing and logistic services ceases to be a preferred method of outsourcing these functions, or if new technological methods become available and widely utilized, our business could be adversely effected. Moreover, increasing consolidation among customers and the resulting ability of such customers to utilize their size to negotiate lower outsourcing costs has, and may continue in the future to have, a depressing effect on the pricing of third-party logistic services.
INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS DUE TO INCREASED SECURITY MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO TERRORISM
The continued threat of terrorism within the United States and the ongoing military action and heightened security measures in response to such threat has and may cause significant disruption to commerce. Our business depends on the free flow of products and services through these channels of commerce. Recently, in response to terrorists’ activities and threats aimed at the United States, transportation and other services have been slowed or stopped altogether. Further delays or stoppages in transportation or other services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, we may experience an increase in operating costs, such as costs for transportation, insurance and security as a result of the activities and potential activities. We may also face interruption of services due to increased security measures in response to terrorism. The U.S. economy in general is being adversely effected by the terrorist activities and potential activities. Any economic downturn could adversely impact our results of operations, impair our ability to raise capital or otherwise adversely effect our ability to grow our business. It is impossible to predict how this may effect our business or the economy in the U.S. and in the world, generally. In the event of further threats or acts of terrorism, our business and operations may be severely and adversely effected or destroyed.
COMPETITION
The transportation services industry is heavily fragmented and intensely competitive and includes numerous regional, inter-regional and national competitors, none of which dominates the market.
REGULATION
Our operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations. Although compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations or financial condition, there is no assurance that additions or changes to current laws or regulations will not have a material effect on us, our profitability and our financial condition.
5
SUBSTANTIAL ALTERATION OF OUR CURRENT BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODEL
Our present business and revenue model represents the current view of the optimal business and revenue structure which is to derive revenues and achieve profitability in the shortest period of time. There can be no assurance that current models will not be altered significantly or replaced with an alternative model that is driven by motivations other than near-term revenues and/or profitability (for example, building market share before our competitors). Any such alteration or replacement of the business and revenue model may ultimately result in the deferring of certain revenues in favor of potentially establishing larger market share. We cannot assure that any adjustment or change in the business and revenue model will prove to be successful.
INABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH AND INTERNAL EXPANSION
We have not yet undergone the significant managerial and internal expansion that we expect will occur, and our inability to manage growth could hurt our results of operations. Expansion of our operations will be required to address anticipated growth of our customer base and market opportunities. Expansion will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. Currently, we have a limited number of employees. We will need to improve existing procedures and controls as well as implement new transaction processing, operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base. Our failure to manage growth effectively could have a damaging effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY MANAGEMENT; LOSS OF KEY MANAGEMENT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OPERATIONS
We believe that the attraction and retention of qualified personnel is critical to success. If we lose key personnel or we are unable to recruit qualified personnel, the ability to manage the day-today aspects of the business will be weakened. Our operations and prospects depend in large part on the performance of the senior management team. The loss of the services of one or more members of the senior management team, could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operation. Because the senior management team has unique experience with us and within the transportation industry, it would be difficult to replace them without adversely effecting our business operations. In addition to their unique experience, the management team has fostered key relationships with the our suppliers. These relationships are especially important to a non-asset based company such as Segmentz and the loss of these relationships could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
Our business is dependent on the services of our Chairman and CEO, Allan Marshall. Loss of Mr. Marshalls services could have material adverse effect on operations. We have secured Key-man life insurance on Mr. Marshall on behalf of the Company and its shareholders in an amount of three million dollars.
6
NEED FOR SUBSTANTIAL, ADDITIONAL FINANCING
There is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain financing required to continue to expand our business or that our present funding sources will continue to extend terms under which we can operate efficiently. If we are unable to secure financing under favorable terms, we may be materially adversely effected. We also rely on factors to expedite cash flow. There is no assurance that we will continue to be able to factor our receivables or to obtain either replacement or additional financing on acceptable terms.
Our continued viability depends on our ability to raise capital. Changes in economic, regulatory or competitive conditions may lead to cost increases. Management may also determine that it is in our best interest to expand more rapidly than currently intended, to expand marketing activities, to develop new or enhance existing services or products, to respond to competitive pressures or to acquire complementary services, businesses or technologies. In any such case or other change of circumstance, additional financing will be necessary. If any additional financing is required, there can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such additional financing on terms acceptable to us and at times required by us, if at all. In such event, we may be required to materially alter our business plan or curtail all or a part of our expansion plans.
VOLATILITY OF THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR STOCK
The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of your investment to decline. Any of the following factors could effect the market price of our common stock:
In addition, many of the risks described elsewhere in this Risk Factors section could materially and adversely effect the stock price. The stock markets have experienced price and volume volatility that have effected many companies’ stock prices. Stock prices for many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. These types of fluctuations may effect the market price of our common stock.
APPLICABILITY OF LOW PRICED STOCK RISK DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Our common stock may be considered a low priced security under rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act). Under these rules, broker-dealers participating in transactions in low priced securities must first deliver a risk disclosure document which describes that risks associated with such stock, the broker-dealer’s duties, the customer’s rights and remedies, and certain market and other information, and make a suitability determination approving the customer for low priced stock transactions based on customer’s financial situation, investment experience and objectives. Broker-dealers must also disclose these restrictions in writing and provide monthly account statements to the customer, and obtain specific written consent of the customer. With these restrictions, the likely effect of designation as a low price stock, would be to decrease the willingness of broker-dealers to make a market for the stock, to decrease the liquidity of the stock and to increase the transaction costs of sales and purchase of such stocks compared to other securities.
7
DILUTION; RESALES UNDER THIS PROSPECTUS MAY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES IN THE PUBLIC MARKET RESULTING IN MARKET PRESSURE THAT MAY CAUSE THE PRICE FOR OUR SHARES TO DROP OR REMAIN AT LOW LEVELS
Prior to this offering, approximately 1,050,000 shares of our common stock were freely tradeable in the public market. The addition to the public market of the 19,090,233 shares covered by this prospectus, in addition to the 8,430,212 shares covered by this Prospectus that will become free-trading upon exercise of common stock purchase warrants, could cause the market price of our shares to fall or remain at lower levels. The sale, or availability for sale, of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market subsequent to the offering under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) or this prospectus or otherwise, could have a major negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also limit our ability to raise additional capital from the sale of our equity securities or debt financing.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. All statements which address operating performance, events or developments that management expects or anticipates to incur in the future, including statements relating to sales and earnings growth or statements expressing general optimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements. Because such forward-looking statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on management’s current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in management’s forward-looking statements. The differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, adverse economic conditions, competitive pressures, inadequate capital, unexpected costs, lower revenues, net income and forecasts, the possibility of fluctuation and volatility of our operating results and financial condition, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans and loss of key executives, among other things. These factors, as well as others, are discussed under Risk Factors and elsewhere in this prospectus.
8
NO DIVIDENDS ANTICIPATED
We intend to retain all future earnings for use in the development of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. See Price Range of Common Stock and Dividend Policy.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by the selling security holders. We will received proceeds in the amount of the exercise price in the event the selling security holders exercise their common stock purchase warrants. In the event that the Company receives proceeds consequential to the exercise of warrants in concert with this registration it will use proceeds to acquire additional companies, make capital investments to enhance its technology and support expanding operational requirements, and for general working capital purposes.
CAPITALIZATION
The following table sets forth our capitalization as of March 31, 2004. The table should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. The table does not give effect to the issuance of up to 9,558,212 shares of common stock in the event common stock purchase warrants that have been granted through May 28, 2004, are exercised.

Our common stock is owned of record by approximately 600 holders. We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to keep future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future. Our future payment of dividends will depend on our earnings, capital requirements, expansion plans, financial condition and other relevant factors.
The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to the following and other factors:
If we do not have a substantial market for our shares, a significant number of shares being sold could greatly effect the market and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. Moreover, historic market prices may not be indicative of the prices at which our shares can be bought or sold.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses, valuation of investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables.
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Company’s large number of customers and wide range of industries and locations served. No customer comprised more than ten percent of the December 31, 2003 or 2002 customer accounts receivable balance. One customer represented approximately 20% of the sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 and another customer represented approximately 18% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2002. The one significant customer for the year ended 2003 is related to a multi-year contract with a national logistics company, providing service to an investment credit grade, Fortune 500(TM) manufacturing company.
The Company extends credit to its various customers based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and ability to pay the Company within the payment terms. The Company provides for estimated losses on accounts receivable considering a number of factors, including the overall aging of the receivables, previous history with the customer and the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation. Based on managements’ review of accounts receivable and other receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1,080,000 and $137,000 is considered necessary as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Accrued liabilities consist primarily of estimates that take into account potential income or expense that may be generated related to credits, offsets, deposits or prepaid amounts that may become payable to customers. These amounts are accrued to estimate the potential liability that may exist and are based on managements’ review of historical data and projections regarding credits or offsets that might become due. Management believes that the estimated accrued liabilities are reasonable in comparison to such historical data; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. A ten percent variation from this estimate could be an additional expense or income of approximately $24,000.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002
Results of Operations
Total revenues were approximately $14,688,000 for the year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of approximately $4,693,000 million or 47% over total revenues of approximately $9,995,000 the comparable period in 2002. Approximately $600,000 or 12% of the increase in total revenues was attributable to the operations of the businesses the Company acquired in 2003; approximately $4,093,000 or 88% was due to an increase in Segmentz’ core revenues (organic growth); and Segmentz terminated relationships with its largest customer in 2002, representing approximately $1,191,000 of business during the year ending December 31, 2002, resulting in approximately 60% of organic growth for Segmentz during the year ending December 31, 2003. Revenues were lower than expected in the fourth quarter due to the timing of holiday schedules. Additionally, the Company did not complete its Dasher Express acquisition until December 31, 2003.
Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for trucking services, fuel, insurance, sales, marketing and general and administrative support increased by approximately $3,337,100 or 43%, to approximately $11,118,700 for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to approximately $7,781,600 for the year ended December 31, 2002. As a percentage of revenues, trucking and transport related services of fuel, insurance, sales and marketing are aggregated as cost of goods sold and amounted to 77% of related revenues for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to 78% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in cost of services provided resulted primarily from corresponding increase in business, as well as increased network size resulting from planning for expansion and delivery of stated service levels to our customers. The Company had a $30,000 claim in the fourth quarter which was a contributing factor in the increase in cost of services.
Gross margin increased by approximately $1,356,170 or 61%, to approximately $3,569,044 for the year ended December 31, 2003, as compared to approximately $2,212,874 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase is primarily attributed to (i) increased sales; (ii) acquisitions; and (iii) successful cross-selling and marketing within the Company’s facilities based network.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,566,400 or 90%, to approximately $3,309,900 for the year ended December 31, 2003, up from approximately $1,743,500 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase was a result of (i) significant costs incurred to prepare company infrastructure for rapid integration and expansion of target entities; (ii) increased costs of being a fully reporting public company; and (iii) an increase in staff and facilities costs through the year to manage growth. The Company believes it is sufficiently staffed for it’s 2004 anticipated growth.
The Company earned $203,163 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, as opposed to approximately $374,115 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. This reduction in earnings was primarily due to (i) cost associated with the Company expanding infrastructure to support growth; (ii) $30,000 claim in the fourth quarter; (iii) timing of the holiday schedule in quarter four; and (iv) the delay in obtaining a more favorable credit facility.
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2003, decreased by $.04 per share to $.02 per share, as compared to $.06 per share for December 31, 2002.
24
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003
Results of Operations
Revenues increased approximately $3,733,000, or 129%, to approximately $6,621,000 for the period ended March 31, 2004, as compared to approximately $2,888,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003. The increases in revenue primarily relate to (i) the three recent acquisitions (ii) expansion of the Chicago terminal location, (iii) a dedicated delivery services (DDS) contract to provide staging, processing, delivery and report integration from a regional cross-dock hub facility in Evansville, IN., (iv) cross-selling of expanded company services and points of service throughout the Company’s client base, (v) increased ability to provide expedited service through increases in scheduled services within the Company’s freight network and, (vi) general increases resulting from marketing efforts and brand awareness.
Costs of services provided, which consist primarily of payment for trucking services, fuel, insurance, cross dock facilities, equipment costs and payroll expenses increased by approximately $3,281,000, or 150%, to approximately $5,471,000 for the period ended March 31, 2004, as compared to approximately $2,190,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003. As a percentage of revenues cost of services amounted to approximately 83% of related revenues for the period ended March 31, 2004, as compared with approximately 76% for the period ended March 31, 2003. Increased costs of service for the first quarter result primarily from (i) lower freight volume in accordance with historical results and expectations, (ii) rental equipment costs and repair costs, related to the short term needs to integrate our time scheduled operations and expedited operating requirements, and (iii) a significant increase in depreciation and amortization related to the recent acquisitions, which should reduce as we integrate equipment plans with operational consolidation. The Company anticipates costs returning to historical levels during the second, third and fourth quarters as we complete the integration of acquired companies, in addition to additional freight volume in our current network.
General and administrative expense increased by approximately $1,200,000 or 239% to approximately $1,703,000 as compared to approximately $503,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003. The increase of general and administrative expenses resulted primarily to (i) expansion of technology, equipment, personnel and infrastructure for increased sales and anticipated increases in the second and third quarter, (ii) expansion of facilities in several cities to allow us to meet significant opportunities, (iii) expenses directly related to integration of acquisitions, (iv) additional sales, marketing and branding efforts to introduce our expanded locations, service offerings and brands to our new and expanding client base and (v) expenses related to prospective acquisitions. The Company had anticipated these increases in general and administrative costs in connection with acquisitions and internally generated growth and believes it will be able to reduce expenses to historical percentage levels as acquisitions are completed, integrated and synergies are capitalized upon.
25
The Company realized a loss from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes of approximately $624,000 for the period ended March 31, 2004, compared with income from continuing operations before provisions for income taxes of approximately $184,000 for the period ended March 31, 2003.
The income tax benefit was approximately $220,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to a provision of $53,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Differences between the effective tax rate used for 2004 and 2003, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, are primarily due to permanent differences and adjustments to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
Basic loss per share from continuing operations for the period ended March 31, 2004 was $.02, compared with basic earnings of $.02 for the period ended March 31, 2003. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations for the period ended March 31, 2004 was $.02, compared with diluted earnings per share of $.02 for the period ended March 31, 2003.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2004 the Company has approximately $5,000,000 of working capital and has cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,553,000, compared with a cash overdraft at March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily a result of the Company’s capital transaction during the year ended December 31, 2003 and the three months ended March 31, 2004.
During the period ended March 31, 2004, the Company received approximately $1,737,500 in gross proceeds from a private placement offering of the Company’s stock that was made in accordance with exemption under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, in which the Company sold approximately 400,000 units to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per unit, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and two investor exercised purchase rights under the terms of options issued in connection with this placement, buying 625,000 shares for $1.50 per share.
In March 2002, the Company issued 350,000 warrants to purchase common stock in the Company for between $1.01 and $1.15 in connection with a term note that has been repaid. In February of 2004 the company received approximately $367,500 related to these warrants being exercised.
The Company incurred offering costs of approximately $170,000 during the period ended March 31, 2004.
In January of 2004, the Company entered into a term credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services (MLBFS) with a stated credit limit of $1.75 million. This facility is a revolving facility that provides for advance against the Company’s eligible accounts receivable balances. The facility bears interest at London InterBank Over the Counter Rate (LIBOR) plus 275 basis points. The LIBOR rate at the closing of the facility was 1.09. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had $1,100,000 available under this credit facility.
26
The Company may receive proceeds in the future from the exercise of warrants and options outstanding as of March 31, 2004 in accordance with the following schedule:
Number of Shares | Proceeds | ||||||
Options outstanding under the Company’s Stock Option Plan | 500,000 | $ | 655,000 | ||||
Non-Plan Options | 310,000 | 432,000 | |||||
Warrants | 6,703,200 | 9,205,000 | |||||
Total | 7,513,200 | $ | 10,292,000 | ||||
Since March 31, 2004, the Company received approximately $10,672,500 in gross proceeds from a private placement offering of the Company’s stock that was made in accordance with exemption under regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, in which the Company sold 6,098,571 units to accredited investors (each of which was a qualified institutional buyer) at a price of $1.75 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and two tenths of a warrant to purchase a share of common stock for an exercise price of $2.20 per share . The Company incurred offering costs of approximately $1,100,000.
The Company has embarked on upgrades to technology and support infrastructure that it believes will enhance cash flows by providing customers and customer service representatives with access to delivery information and documentation that will enable efficient collections of accounts receivable from customers. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on terms favorable to the Company or successfully implement infrastructure upgrades pursuant to our plans.
Our strategy is to continue to expand through acquisitions and internal development. We intend to seek, on a selective basis, acquisition of businesses that have product lines or services which complement and expand our existing services and product lines, and provide us with strategic distribution locations or attractive customer bases. Our ability to implement our growth will depend on a number of things, which may be beyond our control. Successful deployment of this strategy will be dependent on our ability to identify, consummate and assimilate such acquisitions on desirable economic terms. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in implementing our growth strategy. Our ability to implement our growth strategy will also be dependent upon obtaining adequate financing. We may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms.

The Company sustains a competitive advantage by providing flexible, customized, end-to-end solutions, which utilize experienced personnel and technology to exceed the customer’s expectations.
The Segmentz acquisition strategy focuses on integrating logistics businesses that will enhance service offerings within our current market areas as well as extend our network to targeted locations in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. The Company selects acquisition targets based upon their ability to demonstrate: (1) consistent profitability; (2) history of service level delivery and brand identity; (3) regional or service niche and position that is accretive to our current footprint and overlaps or enhances our current service offerings; and (4) creates maximum capacity and equipment utilization to stabilize a platform that will support continued enterprise revenue growth that drives profitability.
Segmentz intends to create additional stockholder value by: (1) improving productivity by adopting enhanced technologies and business processes; (2) improving transportation margins by leveraging our growing purchasing power and (3) enhancing the opportunity for organic growth by cross-selling and offering expanded services to new and existing customers.

Through March 25, 2004, Segmentz has completed the acquisition of three strategically located logistics and transportation providers. The acquisition companies are as follow: Dasher Express, Inc., (Dasher) on December 31, 2003, certain assets of Frontline Freight (Frontline) on January 8, 2004, and Bullet Freight Systems (Bullet) on October 1, 2003. The Company has developed and implemented a comprehensive process, which has allowed rapid integration of these companies into the network. The Company’s focus has been to solidify and expand the time definite network of facilities in the Midwestern and Southeastern United States. The next phase of the Company’s acquisition strategy is to further enhance expedited delivery services, expand logistics services offerings and increase market share. In 2004, the Company plans to continue acquisition activity. The Company has researched and identified a number of companies that may be suitable candidates. Although there is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any acquisitions, the Company is currently in preliminary discussions with a select number of them.
There are a variety of risks associated with the Company’s ability to achieve strategic objectives, including the ability to acquire and profitably manage additional businesses, current reliance on key customers, the risks inherent in expanding, and the intense competition in the industry for customers and for the acquisition of additional businesses.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
The third party logistics industry is rapidly changing to keep pace with shippers’ demands, technology innovation and the influx of capital. These dynamics will pose major challenges and opportunities to both users and service providers, demanding the attention of all supply chain professionals. Businesses are striving to reduce inventory levels, reduce order and cycle lengths, perform manufacturing and assembly operations in low cost locations and distribute their products throughout global markets. This trend has increased the need for expedited or time-definite shipment services. Furthermore, customers increasingly cite an efficient supply chain as a critical element in improving their financial performance. To remain competitive, successful companies must achieve success in their core businesses and execute quickly and accurately.
Modern third-party logistics providers have emerged recently because of transportation deregulation in the 1980s, tax advantages to outsourcing, predictability of costs, capital savings and the shipper emphasis on core competencies in the 1990s. As a result, outsourcing has dramatically increased. In the last decade, according to research by investment banker Lazard Freres and BG Strategic Advisors, the third party logistics (3PL) category has grown at a rate greater than 20 percent per year. Many companies have grown as the market has grown, including Expeditors, CH Robinson, and Landstar. This has spawned an entire industry of small and midsized logistics providers, which number approximately 1,000 today. Many observers have predicted that the logistics provider industry will continue to expand at a rate of 15-20 percent annually. A recent Lazard Freres study shows that while 37 percent of high-volume shippers outsourced transportation in 2000, 73 percent expected to do so by 2005. As the outsourcing trend continues the third party logistics industry will benefit. Less frequently noted is the enormous fragmentation in the logistics industry. The four core logistics sectors-warehousing, transportation management, air/ocean freight forwarding, and dedicated contract carriage are growing at a rate of 15-25 percent annually. The market share available for small companies in the third party logistics sector of the industry is between 30 and 80 percent. To put this in perspective, the parcel sector of the industry is growing at 4 percent, and the market share available for small companies is zero.
29
This combination of high growth and high fragmentation makes the logistics industry ripe for consolidation. A growing market supports a broad range of successful companies that attract expansion-minded buyers. At the same time, fragmentation translates into a plethora of small acquisition opportunities for larger, cash-rich companies. Further, as the market inevitably matures, businesses that were used to 20% growth will likely supplement their organic operations with acquisitions. The Company believes logistics companies that can successfully position their businesses to benefit from these trends will enjoy an exciting future. These will be the companies with broad multimodal capabilities, geographic scope, and technological leadership. The Company also believes smart, midsized companies must invest aggressively in niche strategies and technologies that create differentiation and drive growth. Consolidation is an unmistakable reality. The choice to raise capital to pursue a niche strategy, sell to a larger player, or harvest the business-is not easy. However, just as UPS and FedEx achieved domination in the once-fragmented parcel industry, today’s logistics providers who pick a unique strategy and make the necessary investments can be very successful going forward
The total U.S. expedited cargo market, including air and surface, was estimated to generate $81.4 billion in revenue in 2003. The U.S. domestic airfreight market estimated to be approximately $30.7 billion, or 37.7% of this market. Approximately $3.7 billion, or 11.9% of that market, made up of heavyweight overnight and deferred airfreight, representing the portion of the market within which the Company primarily competes. Although aircraft normally transports expedited airfreight, freight forwarders often elect to transport cargo by truck, especially for shipments without time sensitive transit times. Generally, the cost of shipping freight, especially heavy freight, by truck is substantially less than shipping by aircraft. The Company believes there is an increasing demand for lower-cost truck transportation of expedited airfreight. Integrated air cargo carriers that transport heavy freight are targeting their marketing efforts at higher yielding overnight freight to better utilize their high fixed-cost infrastructures. As a result, these carriers are outsourcing deferred freight to surface transportation providers. Domestic airlines have eliminated many cargo aircraft while the demand for air cargo services has increased creating capacity constraints. Thus, the reduced capacity of air cargo space has resulted in increased demand for surface transportation of cargo.
The Company also feels that the large third party logistics providers have not targeted the middle market of the industry. Web-based transportation and warehousing management systems now enable mid sized logistics companies to provide leading edge services to smaller customers. Historically, large logistics service providers would not do business with small to midsized companies, which are defined as under $50 million in annual transportation spending.
The Company’s competitive advantage is its ability to serve commercial shippers and collaborate with global logistics providers. The company is following industry trends by creating a strong expedited delivery network to support both commercial shipments and deferred airfreight. The Company has strategically positioned its service stations to respond quickly to customer needs providing comprehensive solutions. Segmentz culture promotes attention to detail, understanding the customer’s unique parameters and offering the services that support segments of that customers supply chain to increase efficiency and reduce costs.

GROWTH STRATEGY
The Company’s current growth strategy is to increase capacity and leverage the expanding expedited delivery network to maximize profitability. The principal components of the Company’s growth strategy are to:
31
ACQUISITION STRATEGY
The Company believes there are many attractive acquisition candidates in this industry because of the highly fragmented composition of the marketplace, the industry participants’ need for capital and their owners’ desire for liquidity.
The Company will continue to expand the business by acquiring select candidates. Service or Region drives the Company’s acquisitions, with each candidate either offering specialty services, technology, personnel (Service) or locations that fit into the network, thus significantly expanding by offering the Company’s services and cross selling to their customers. (Region).
A Service acquisition is significant to the brand recognition of the Company. It will provide increased industry recognition for excellence in service and a client base that will further enhance brand identity. It may take more time and effort to integrate this type of company, as the corporate culture must be maintained while integrated into the Segmentz culture .
A Region acquisition, on the other hand, will more likely be geographical in nature, will be a generally smaller acquisition and will enable Segmentz to expand into new markets. When justified by the size and service offerings of a Region acquisition, the Company expects to retain the management, along with the operations, sales and technical personnel of the acquired company, while seeking to improve the company’s profitability by implementing the Company’s operating strategies. In most instances where there is overlap of geographic coverage, the operations acquired by Region acquisitions can be integrated into existing operations in that market, resulting in the elimination of duplicating overhead and operating costs.
The Company believes it can successfully implement the acquisition strategy due to: (i) few exit opportunities that exist for smaller transportation services providers; (ii) single source selling strategy that empowers acquired companies to meet or surpass their profit expectations as part of Segmentz; (iii) delivery of lower insurance, human resource and central operational costs; (iv) the liquidity provided at the time of sale combined with upside from the stock of the public company; (v) continued involvement of the management of the acquired companies in branding Segmentz expanding offerings; and (vi) the ability of management to integrate acquisitions while maintaining internal growth and customer satisfaction.
32
OPERATIONS
The Company’s primary business operation involves obtaining shipments from customers and delivering a wide range of logistics solutions to meet specific requirements and arranging and monitoring all aspects of the shipment utilizing advanced information technology systems. These logistics solutions include expedited transportation, deferred airfreight transportation, local cartage, aircraft charters, dedicated delivery, consolidation, warehouse management and fulfillment. Additionally, the company picks up shipments from business partners such as air freight forwarders, integrated air cargo carriers, and passenger and cargo airlines consolidating these shipments at the Company’s service stations. The Company will then cross-dock and transport these shipments through the Segmentz network to service stations nearest the ultimate destinations of the shipments. The Company operates regularly scheduled service to and from each of the service stations through regional hubs. When a shipment arrives at the service station nearest its destination, the shipments go through sorting, segregating and then routing for delivery to its final destination.
SERVICES
Segmentz provides three core services to over 1,000 customers:
33
INFORMATION SYSTEMS
A key component of the Segmentz growth strategy is the significant capital, planning and corporate intelligence that is deployed towards technology to enhance service levels, productivity and customer access to information. The third-party logistics services business increasingly relies upon advanced information technology to link the shipper with its inventory and as an analytical tool to optimize transportation solutions. This trend favors the larger, more professionally managed companies that have the resources to support a sophisticated information technology infrastructure. By outsourcing all non-core business services to third party providers, companies can help to control costs, eliminate staff and focus on internal business. Furthermore, this kind of outsourcing is often done in lockstep with unit pricing models that provide for a variable price that is less than the current pricing available to a company. This method is calculated on a unit basis, enabling a company to price logistics, storage, shipping, staging and related services into their wholesale pricing matrix and providing a scalable solution that can scale downwards in an off economy, as well as upwards as the market demands. Such models are popular as risk sharing, an outsourcing concept that has been adopted in many support and third party service arenas, enabling outsourced companies to build critical mass, method and pricing efficiencies, and to pass these efficiencies on to clients in pricing schedules that help clients build competitive market positions that are measurably more predictable.
In executing this strategy, the Company has and will continue to invest significant management and financial resources to deliver these technologies. The Company believes these technologies will provide financial and competitive advantages in the years ahead and will increase our sustainable competitive advantages in the marketplace.
CUSTOMERS, SALES AND MARKETING
Segmentz has many commercial customers that range from small companies to Fortune 100 companies. The Company also serves third party logistics providers, airfreight forwarders, integrated air cargo carriers and passenger or cargo airlines. The Company’s third party logistics customers vary in size from small, independent, single facility companies to large, global logistics companies, such as Eagle Global, Schneider Logistics, Nippon Express, Danzas/AEI, Exel and Pilot Air Freight. Segmentz maintains a reputation for dependable service, which has allowed the Company to provide overflow capacity to integrated air cargo carriers such as United Parcel Service, Federal Express, DHL Worldwide Express and Menlo Worldwide. The Company also provides services to passenger and cargo airline customers including British Airways, Continental, United Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Alliance Airlines, Kitty Hawk Cargo, Delta Airlines and Air Cargo, Inc.
34
Segmentz markets services throughout the United States through the business development staff, facilities management and agents. The Executive management team is also actively involved in sales and marketing at the national account level, which supports local sales activity. The Company’s sales focus will be to promote single source logistics and transportation solutions. The Company has a strong commitment to marketing to the airfreight community that has time-sensitive shipping needs requiring customized services, and has also developed a network of consulting firms and specialty professional firms that introduce the Company to contract based freight management and logistics opportunities. The Company will allocate resources to respond to such requests for proposal (RFP), that build upon the Company’s logistics and contract services offerings. The Company participates in industry trade shows, direct mail programs, advertises in industry journals, and is listed with prominent internet search engines.
For large-scale contract logistics projects, the Company offers onsite personnel and White Paper support of customer initiatives. This offering provides customers with experienced personnel and case study data developed with a stated goal of examination of a customer’s historical requirements, their customer’s requirements and the likelihood that change will occur in the immediate future. The onsite personnel build relationships with customers by maintaining interactive analysis capabilities that leverage experience in the freight and delivery environment, offering customers the intelligence and tools to stay ahead of their competitors.
The Company has created the Segmentz name with the intention of building a branded identifiable organization known by customers and within the industry. The Company has branded each acquired company a Segmentz company to leverage our brand with the brand of each acquired company. In the near future, the Company will consolidate acquisitions into service defined operating companies ultimately re-branding under the Segmentz name.
COMPETITION AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS
The volume of domestic and international trade directly affects the Company’s business. The volume of this trade is influenced by many factors, including economic and political conditions in the United States and abroad, major work stoppages, exchange controls, currency fluctuations, acts of war, terrorism and other armed conflicts, and United States and international laws relating to tariffs, trade restrictions, foreign investments and taxation.
The logistics service and transportation industries are intensely competitive and should remain so for the near future. Segmentz competitors include regional trucking companies that specialize in handling deferred airfreight and national and regional less-than-truckload carriers. To a lesser extent, the Company competes with integrated air cargo carriers and passenger and cargo airlines. The Company believes competition is based primarily on service, on-time delivery, flexibility and reliability, as well as rates. The Company offers services at rates that generally are significantly below the charge to transport the same shipment to the same destination by air. The Company believes that it has an advantage over less-than-truckload carriers based upon the Company’s reputation for faster, more reliable service between multiple cities.
The Company has competition from a large number of firms, which have only one office or a small number of offices, and can not offer the breadth of services and integrated approach that the Company offers. However, some of this competition comes from major United States and foreign-owned firms, which have networks of offices and offer a wide variety of services. The Company believes that quality of service, including information systems capability, global network capacity, reliability, responsiveness, expertise and convenience, scope of operations, customized program design and implementation and price are important competitive factors in the industry.
35
REGULATION
The Company is licensed by the Department of Transportation as a motor carrier and broker. The Company does not believe that transportation related regulatory compliance has had a material adverse impact on operations to date. However, failure to comply with the applicable regulations or to maintain required permits or licenses could result in substantial fines or revocation of operating permits or authorities. The Company cannot give assurance as to the degree or cost of future regulations on business. Some of the regulations affecting the Company’s operations are described below.
The Surface Transportation Board and U.S. Department of Transportation also have the authority to regulate interstate motor carrier operations, including the regulation of certain rates, charges and accounting systems, to require periodic financial reporting, and to regulate insurance, driver qualifications, operation of motor vehicles, parts and accessories for motor vehicle equipment, hours of service of drivers, inspection, repair, maintenance standards and other safety related matters. The federal laws governing interstate motor carriers have both direct and indirect application to the Company. The breadth and scope of the federal regulations may affect the operations of the Company and the motor carriers, which the Company uses to provide transportation services. In certain locations, state or local permits or registrations may also be required to provide or obtain intrastate motor carrier services for the Company. Property brokerage operations similarly subject the Company to various federal statutes and regulation as a property broker by the Surface Transportation Board, and the Company has obtained a property broker license and posted a surety bond as required by federal law. In the United States, the Company is also subject to federal, state and local provisions relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise for the protection of the environment. Similar laws apply in many foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates or may operate in the future. Although current operations have not been significantly affected by compliance with these environmental laws, governments are becoming increasingly sensitive to environmental issues, and the Company cannot predict what impact future environmental regulations may have on the business. The Company does not anticipate making any material capital expenditures for environmental control purposes.
SEASONALITY
Historically, the Company’s revenues and profitability have been subject to quarterly seasonal trends. The first quarter has traditionally been the weakest and the third and fourth quarters have traditionally been the strongest. Typically, this pattern has been the result of factors such as climate, national holidays, customer demand and economic conditions. Additionally, a significant portion of the Company’s revenue is from customers whose business levels are impacted by the economy.

The agreement shall be automatically extended for an additional one-year period after the initial term unless at least 30 days prior to the termination date either the Company or Mr. Marshall give written notice to the other that the employment agreement will not be renewed. In addition to auto, cellular and other expense allowances, Mr. Marshall’s starting base salary was $150,000 under the terms of the agreement, with provisions for annual increase in base salary of ten percent each year.

Stock Option Plan
On November 1, 2001, the Company’s majority stockholders approved the 2001 Stock Compensation Plan (2001 Plan). The number of shares of common stock which may be issued under the 2001 Plan shall initially be 600,000 shares which amount may, at the discretion of the Board, be increased from time to time to a number of shares of common stock equal to 5% of the total outstanding shares of common stock, provided that the aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be granted under the 2001 Plan shall not exceed 600,000 shares. The Company may also grant options under the 2001 Plan to attract qualified individuals to become employees and non-employee directors, as well as to ensure the retention of management of any acquired business operations. Under the 2001 Plan, the Company may also grant restricted stock awards. Restricted stock represents shares of common stock issued to eligible participants under the 2001 Plan subject to the satisfaction by the recipient of certain conditions and enumerated in the specific restricted stock grant. Conditions that may be imposed include, but are not limited to, specified periods of employment, attainment of personal performance standards or the Company’s overall financial performance. The granting of restricted stock represents an additional incentive for eligible participants under the 2001 Plan to promote the Company’s development and growth and may be used by Management as another means of attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as the Company’s employees and directors. Currently, the Company has granted the 600,000 options as provided for in its 2001 Plan.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information known to us, as of the date of this Prospectus filing, relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by:
Under securities laws, a person is considered to be the beneficial owner of securities owned by him (or certain persons whose ownership is attributed to him) and that can be acquired by him within 60 days from the date of this filing, including upon the exercise of options, warrants or convertible securities. The Company determined a beneficial owner’s percentage ownership by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by him, but not those held by any other person, and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date of this filing, have been exercised or converted.
46
Except with respect to beneficial ownership of shares attributed to the named person, the following table does not give effect to the issuance of shares in the event outstanding common stock purchase warrants are exercised.
The Company believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as being owned by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner in the table set forth below is care of Segmentz, Inc., 18302 Highwoods Preserve Parkway, Suite 100 Tampa, Florida 33647.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended December 31, 2002, a stockholder of the Company consented to a reduction in balance due to it from the Company pursuant to an agreement to offset credit losses in connection with Huff Timber Company, a former customer, and Logistics Management Resources, Inc., and the receivable losses experienced by the Company in the year ended December 31, 2002. The amount of offset was approximately $299,300 and is reflected as a reduction to G&A expenses in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Company utilizes the services of tractor owner-operators that are employed by Bryant Plastics, a stockholder in the Company. The Company’s agreement with Bryant Plastics is identical to its agreement with any independent owner-operators, and Bryant receives payment terms and percentages that are identical to other agreements with unrelated entities. The Company believes these terms to be equitable and fair and believes that these transactions are treated in the normal course of business as if Bryant had no relationship with the Company other than that of an owner-operator.
In October 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell several owned vehicles to Bryant Plastics, Inc., resulting in a gain on sale of $76,000. In this transaction, Bryant exchanged 90,000 shares of stock at $1.40 per share in exchange for clear title to several tractors that had been purchased by Segmentz previously.
In July 2003, the Company consented to utilize best efforts to retire all preferred shares by fiscal year end. In concert with this agreement, the Company’s officers entered into negotiations with the CEO of the Company that resulted in the purchase of 414,923 shares of preferred series A stock for the price of $.58 per share, a total of $240,655. Because the purchase price of these shares had been set at $1.00 at the time of their issuance resulting from them having been converted from debt at face value, this purchase resulted in a gain for the Company in the amount of $174,268.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there are 25,951,305 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, which are held of record by approximately 600 holders. As of the date of this prospectus, all shares of preferred stock have been either redeemed by the Company or converted into common stock.
COMMON STOCK
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a shareholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.
48
Holders of our common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the common stock. The rights of the holders of common stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is authorized and issued. All outstanding shares of common stock and the shares underlying all option and warrants will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable upon our issuance of these shares.
PREFERRED STOCK
As of the date of the this prospectus we have the following series of preferred stock designated:
Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The series A-1 preferred stock (i) does not accrue dividends, (ii) votes on an as converted basis with the common stock on all matters to be voted upon by the holders of the common stock, (iii) is convertible into common stock at the greater of $1.00 per share or a 30% discount to the average closing bid price of the common stock for the 5 trading days prior to the date of conversion, and (iv) is not redeemable by us. All Series A-1 preferred stock has been converted into common stock.
Series B-1 Preferred Stock. All Series B-1 preferred stock was retired on December 17, 2003.
Series C Preferred Stock. The series C preferred stock (i) accrues dividends at a rate of 10% of the stated value ($100 per share) per year, (ii) has no voting rights, (iii) is not convertible, and (iv) is redeemable by the Company for $60,000 on the 6 month anniversary of the date of issuance. If the Company does not redeem the shares of series C preferred stock on the 6 month anniversary, we are required to issue to the holders of the series C preferred stock 5 shares of common stock for every 1 share of series C preferred stock held on each of the 7, 8, and 9 month anniversaries (or 3,000 shares of common stock per month in the aggregate). If we do not redeem the series C preferred stock on the 9 month anniversary, the series C preferred stock is automatically converted into debt, payable upon demand, accruing interest at a rate of 12% per year. All series C preferred Stock has been redeemed.
We may issue additional series of preferred stock from time to time, with such designations, preferences, conversion rights, cumulative, relative, participating, optional or other rights, including voting rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions as are determined by our Board of Directors. We have no present intention of issuing shares of preferred stock.
49
COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
As of May 28, 2004, we had 9,558,212 common stock purchase warrants outstanding entitling the holders to purchase 9,558,212 shares of our common stock for a weighted average exercise price of $1.53 per share.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation. Its address is 2591 Dallas Parkway, Suite 102, Frisco, TX 75034.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
On May 25, 2004 we had 25,951,305 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Of those shares approximately 1,050,000 shares are freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by an affiliate of ours. This does not include shares being registered under this Prospectus or shares that may be issued upon exercise of options or warrants.
The remaining 5,811,072 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 28, 2004 (not including the 19,090,233 shares of common stock being registered under this Prospectus and 9,558,212 shares underlying issued and outstanding warrants) are restricted securities, and will become eligible for public sale at various times, provided the investors comply with the requirements of Rule 144. In general, Rule 144 permits a shareholder who has owned restricted shares for at least 1 year, to sell without registration, within a 3 month period, up to 1% of our then outstanding common stock. We must be current in our reporting obligations in order for a shareholder to sell shares under Rule 144. In addition, shareholders other than our officers, directors or 5% or greater shareholders who have owned their shares for at least 2 years, may sell them without volume limitation or the need for our reports to be current.
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of common stock or the availability of these shares for sale will have on the market price of our shares from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market could negatively damage effect market prices for the common stock and could damage our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Adorno & Yoss, P.A., 350 East Las Olas Boulevard, Suite 1700, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. Adorno & Yoss, P.A. owns 100,000 common stock purchase warrants, exercisable at $1.40 per share until January 8, 2006.

1. | Significant Accounting Principles |
Basis of Presentation
Segmentz, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("the Company") provide regional outsourced trucking, time definite transportation, dedicated delivery and supply chain management services within a network of cross dock facilities throughout the east.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Segmentz, Inc. and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company does not have any variable interest entities whose financial results are not included in the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses, valuation of investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation. These reclassifications did not have any effect on total assets, total liabilities, total stockholders' equity or net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and investments in money market funds with high quality financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a remaining maturity of less than three months at the time of purchase as cash equivalents.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, are cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables.
The majority of cash is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand, and, therefore, bear minimal risk.
Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the Company's large number of customers and wide range of industries and locations served. No customer comprised more than ten percent of the December 31, 2003 or 2002 customer accounts receivable balance. One customer represented approximately 20% of the sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 and another customer represented approximately 18% of sales for the year ended December 31, 2002. The one significant customer for the year ended 2003 is related to a multi-year contract with a national logistics company, providing service to a Fortune 500(TM) manufacturing company (whose credit is investment grade).
The Company extends credit to its various customers based on evaluation of the customer's financial condition and ability to pay the Company in accordance with the payment terms. The Company provides for estimated losses on accounts receivable considering a number of factors, including the overall aging of accounts receivables, customers payment history and the customer's current ability to pay its obligation. Based on managements' review of accounts receivable and other receivables, an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1,080,000 and $137,000 is considered necessary as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. We do not accrue interest on past due receivables.

Factoring Arrangement
During the second quarter of 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with a factoring company to provide for the borrowing against eligible receivables of up to ninety percent (90%) of the face value of such receivables. The borrowings against eligible receivables is not a true sale and the company maintains any advances under this agreement as an obligation due under factoring arrangement and any receivables, net of allowances for losses, as assets pursuant to Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 140 "Accounting for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities," such amounts are not sold without recourse and therefore reported in accordance with provisions of applicable rules and guidelines. As of January 31, 2004 the company terminated this arrangement and paid the obligation due under factoring arrangement in full.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Major improvements that increase the estimated useful life of an asset are capitalized. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in the results of operations. Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets:

Goodwill
Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations.
The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires an annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, the first step of the impairment test requires that the Company determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit's carrying amount. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second more detailed impairment assessment. The second impairment assessment involves allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. The Company acquired all of the goodwill in the current year and is in the process of obtaining a valuation on each acquisition. Management does not believe there is any impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2003 In the future, the Company expects to perform the annual test during its fiscal third quarter unless events or circumstances indicate impairment of the goodwill may have occurred before that time

Other Long-Lived Assets
Other long-lived assets primarily related to capitalized set up costs that are recovered over the term of multi-year contacts and acquired identifiable intangible assets.
During the year ended December 31, 2003 the Company capitalized approximately $162,000 of direct and incremental setup costs that are scheduled to be reimbursed by a customer over the term of the contract. These costs are amortized over the remaining life of that contract. As of December 31, 2003 accumulated amortization related to these setup costs was approximately $25,000.
Acquired identifiable intangible assets of approximately $825,000 consist of the present value of excess cash flows from favorable lease transactions and favorable insurance rates, and safety history from an asset acquisition. These intangibles are amortized on a straight-line method over 1 to 5 years and favorable lease agreements are amortized using the straight-line method over contract period, which is five years. As of December 31, 2003, there was no accumulated amortization related to these identifiable intangible assets. The yearly amortization expense related to these assets will be approximately $210,000 in 2004 and $155,000 for subsequent years.
The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which establishes accounting standards for the impairment of long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization. The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset is less than its carrying amount, the asset is considered to be impaired. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. For the year ended December 31, 2003 there was no impairment recorded related to these long-lived assets.

Accrued Expenses, Other
Accrued liabilities consist primarily of estimates that take into account potential income or expense that may be generated related to credits, offsets, deposits or prepaid amounts that may become payable to customers. These amounts are accrued to estimate the potential liability that may exist and are based on managements' review of historical data and projections regarding credits or offsets that might become due. Management believes that the estimated accrued liabilities are reasonable in comparison to such historical data; however, actual results could differ from these estimates. A ten percent variation from this estimate could be an additional expense or income of approximately $24,000.
Estimated fair value of financial instruments
The aggregated net fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payable, accrued expenses and short-term borrowings. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments since they are short-term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are receivable or payable on demand. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated based upon the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities.
Revenue Recognition
Operating revenues for the Company are recognized on the date the freight is delivered or the services are performed. Related costs of delivery of shipments in transit or services in progress are accrued as incurred and expensed when the revenue is recognized.

Income Taxes
Taxes on income are provided in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and the tax effects of net operating loss and capital loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that included the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to offset the net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. During the year ended December 31, 2003 it became evident to management that the valuation allowance related to prior year deferred tax assets was no longer deemed necessary and the valuation of approximately $97,000 was reversed.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock based compensation under the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and has disclosed pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts using the fair value based method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." The Company has implemented the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. There was no stock based compensation given to employees during the year ended December 31, 2002.

The preceding pro forma results were calculated with the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Results may vary depending on the assumptions applied within the model. Compensation expense recognized in providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on net income for future years.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year.

Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities"
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements," addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority of the entity's expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity. The interpretation requires that if a business enterprise has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of the activities of the variable interest entity must be included in the consolidated financial statements with those of the business enterprise. The Company does not have any variable interest entities whose financial results are not included in the consolidated financial statement.
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 pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first interim period that commences after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of this statement beginning on January 1, 2004. We have not entered into or modified any financial instruments subsequent to May 31, 2003 affected by this statement. We do not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

5. | Obligations Due Under Factoring Arrangement |
The Company factors a significant portion of its accounts receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company utilized the services of several factoring companies. Accounts receivable are factored to companies with full recourse for unpaid invoices in excess of 90 days old. The most recent agreement provides for the payment of factoring fees at 2.5 percent of each invoice factored. As of January 31, 2004 the Company terminated the factoring agreement and the obligation due under factoring arrangement was fully satisfied.
6. | Notes Payable and Capital Leases |
In February 2003 the Company entered into a note with Sports Funding, Inc for a term of eighteen months. The note was for $250,000, at an interest rate of 12% per annum plus an origination fee of $5,000 and 250,000 three-year warrants at $1.01 per share. In addition to all assets of the Company, tangible or intangible, collateralizing the loan, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer personally pledged a security interest in all the Segmentz, Inc. common stock and preferred stock owned by them. Interest was payable monthly with the entire principle balance being due at the end of eighteen months.
In April 2003 the above agreement was amended to increase the borrowed amount by $100,000. The terms of the loan were the same as above with an additional 100,000 three-year warrants issued at a price of $1.15 per share. All of the warrants were callable by the Company if the last sale price of the common stock is at least 166.6% of the then current exercise price for 10 consecutive trading days.

9. | Segment Information |
Historically the Company has had two reportable segments; truck hauling and warehouse operations, although the Company continues to provide these two services, the warehousing segment has become an immaterial component of providing overall third party logistical support to the Company's customers and no longer meets the criteria for a reportable segment. Therefore, for the year ending December 31, 2003 the Company has only one reportable segment.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, information regarding operations by segment was as follows:

The sale was effected and the terms have been modified several times during the fiscal year and at year end the sale had been consummated for all business intents and purposes in that Segmentz continues to serve its customers and operate in all of the Company's cities. The total purchase price was $1,952,206, which includes acquisition costs and advances in excess of the agency agreement of approximately $1,402,206. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price based on management's estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at December 31, 2003.

13. | Related Party Transactions |
During the year ended December 31, 2002, a stockholder of the Company consented to a reduction in balance due to it from the Company pursuant to an agreement to offset credit losses in connection with Huff Timber Company, a former customer, and Logistics Management Resources, Inc., and the receivable losses experienced by the Company in the year ended December 31, 2002. The amount of offset was approximately $299,300 and is reflected as a reduction to G&A expenses in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Company utilizes the services of tractor owner-operators that are employed by Bryant Plastics, a stockholder in the Company. The Company's agreement with Bryant Plastics is identical to its agreement with any independent owner-operators, and Bryant receives payment terms and percentages that are identical to other agreements with unrelated entities. The Company believes these terms to be equitable and fair and believes that these transactions are treated in the normal course of business as if Bryant had no relationship with the Company other than that of an owner-operator.
In October 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to sell several owned vehicles to Bryant Plastics, Inc., resulting in a gain on sale of $76,000. In this transaction, Bryant exchanged 90,000 shares of stock at $1.40 per share in exchange for clear title to several tractors that had been purchased by Segmentz previously.
In July 2003, the Company consented to utilize "best efforts" to retire all preferred shares by fiscal year end. In concert with this agreement, the Company's officers entered into negotiations with the CEO of the Company that resulted in the purchase of 414,923 shares of preferred series A stock for the price of $.58 per share, a total of $240,655. Because the purchase price of these shares had been set at $1.00 at the time of their issuance resulting from them having been converted from debt at face value, this purchase resulted in a gain for the Company in the amount of $174,268.
14. | Subsequent Events |
Since December 31, 2003, the Company received approximately $1,550,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement offering of the Company's stock that was made in accordance with exemption under Regulation D, Rule 506 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, in which the Company sold approximately 400,000 units to accredited investors at a price of $2.00 per unit, each unit consisting of two shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and one investor exercised purchase rights under the terms of options issued in connection with this placement, buying 500,000 shares for $1.50 per share.
Since December 31, 2003, the Company entered into a term credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services (MLBFS) with a stated credit limit of $1.75 million. This facility is a revolving facility that provides for advance against the Company's eligible accounts receivable balances. The facility bears interest at London InterBank Over the Counter Rate (LIBOR) plus 275 basis points. The LIBOR rate at the closing of the facility was 1.21%. As of January 31, 2004, the Company has drawn approximately $600,000 against its available credit line.
In January 2004, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire selected assets and to assume certain liabilities of Frontline Freight Systems, Inc. In concert with this acquisition, the Company issued 77,000 shares of Segmentz stock that is held in escrow, pending the achievement of revenue milestones, and assumed certain liabilities that have been defined not to exceed the collection of assets acquired by the Company in connection with this transaction.

Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Principles
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of (a) the financial position at March 31, 2004, (b) the results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, and (c) cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, have been made.
The unaudited financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the entire year.
Stock-Based Compensation
Segmentz, Inc. (the Company) accounts for stock based compensation under the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock based compensation and has disclosed pro forma net income and earnings per share amounts using the fair value based method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation." The Company has implemented the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. There was no stock based compensation given to employees during the period ended March 31, 2003.

1. Significant Accounting Principles -continued
Stock-Based Compensation
The preceding pro forma results were calculated with the use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for the period ended March 31, 2004 (1) risk-free interest rate of 2.80%, (2) no dividend yield (3) expected lives of between 3.0 and 5.0 years (4) volatility of 85%. Results may vary depending on the assumptions applied within the model. Compensation expense recognized in providing pro forma disclosures may not be representative of the effects on net income for future years.
Use of Estimates
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company reviews its estimates, including but not limited to, recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of prepaid expenses, valuation of investments and allowance for doubtful accounts, on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences and existing and expected future conditions. These evaluations are performed and adjustments are made as information is available. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results could differ from these estimates.

1. Significant Accounting Principles -continued
Income Taxes
Taxes on income are provided in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the book values and the tax bases of particular assets and liabilities and the tax effects of net operating loss and capital loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized as income or expense in the period that included the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to offset the net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. There is no allowance recorded as of March 31, 2004 on any deferred tax assets.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires companies to present basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and dilutive options outstanding during the year.
Common stock equivalents in the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was anti-dilutive due to the net losses sustained by the Company during this period. Therefore, the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding in this period is the same as the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.
2. Obligations Due Under Factoring Arrangement
As of January 31, 2004 the Company terminated the factoring agreement and the obligation due under factoring arrangement was fully satisfied.

3. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be a party to a variety of legal actions that affect any business. The Company does not anticipate any of these matters or any matters in the aggregate to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or its financial position or results of operations.
Regulatory Compliance
The Company's activities are regulated by state and federal regulatory agencies under requirements that are subject to broad interpretations. The Company cannot predict the position that may be taken by these third parties that could require changes to the manner in which the Company operates.
4. Line of Credit
In January of 2004, the Company entered into a term credit facility with Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services (MLBFS) with a stated credit limit of $1.75 million. This facility is a revolving facility that provides for advances against the Company's eligible accounts receivable balances. The facility bears interest at London InterBank Over the Counter Rate (LIBOR) plus 275 basis points. The LIBOR rate at March 31, 2004 was 1.09%. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had approximately $1,100,000 available under this credit facility.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
ITEM 24. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Delaware General Business Law (the Corporation Act) permits the indemnification of directors, employees, officers and agents of Delaware corporations. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate) and Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Corporation Act.
The provisions of the Corporation Act that authorize indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of criminal laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b) deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution and (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for the best interests of the Company in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder. The statute does not effect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws.
The effect of the foregoing is to require the Company to indemnify the officers and directors of the Company for any claim arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned Registrant undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
II-3
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or preceding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-4
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 on Form SB-2 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Tampa, Florida on June 8, 2004.
