ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

Forward Looking Statements

The statements contained in all parts of this document that are not
historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include,
but are not limited to, those relating to the following: the effect and benefits
of the company's reverse merger transaction; Janel's plans to reduce costs
(including the scope, timing, impact and effects thereof); potential annualized
cost savings; plans for direct entry into the trucking and warehouse
distribution business (including the scope, timing, impact and effects thereof);
the company's ability to improve its cost structure; plans for opening
additional domestic and foreign branch offices (including the scope, timing,
impact and effects thereof); the sensitivity of demand for the company's
services to domestic and global economic and political conditions; expected
growth; future operating expenses; future margins; fluctuations in currency
valuations; fluctuations in interest rates; future acquisitions and any effects,
benefits, results, terms or other aspects of such acquisitions; ability to
continue growth and implement growth and business strategy; the ability of
expected sources of liquidity to support working capital and capital expenditure
requirements; future expectations and outlook and any other statements regarding
future growth, cash needs, operations, business plans and financial results and
any other statements that are not historical facts.

When used in this document, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect,"
"may," "plans," "project," and similar expressions are intended to be among the
statements that identify forward-looking statements. Janel's results may differ
significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such
statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those
relating to costs, delays and difficulties related to the company's dependence
on its ability to attract and retain skilled managers and other personnel; the
intense competition within the freight industry; the uncertainty of the
company's ability to manage and continue its growth and implement its business
strategy; the company's dependence on the availability of cargo space to serve
its customers; effects of regulation; its vulnerability to general economic
conditions and dependence on its principal customers; accuracy of accounting and
other estimates; risk of international operations; risks relating to
acquisitions; the company's future financial and operating results, cash needs
and demand for its services; and the company's ability to maintain and comply
with permits and licenses; as well as other risk factors described in Janel's
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on January 12, 2004. Should one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those
projected.

Overview

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and for the six months
ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the six months ended March 31, 2003. The
discussion and analysis then addresses the liquidity and financial condition of
the company, and other matters.

Results of Operations

Janel operates its business as a single segment comprised of full-service
cargo transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding - via
air, ocean and land-based carriers - customs brokerage services, warehousing and
distribution services, and other value-added logistics services.

7


Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003

Revenue. Total revenue (forwarding revenue plus interest and dividends)
for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was $16,887,122, as compared to
$11,657,136 for the same period of fiscal 2003, a year-over-year increase of
$5,229,986, or 44.9%. The higher level of revenue was primarily due to greater
shipping activity across the company's base of customers.

Forwarding Expense. Forwarding expense is primarily comprised of the fees
paid by Janel directly to cargo carriers to handle and transport its actual
freight shipments on behalf of its customers between initial and final terminal
points. Forwarding expense also includes any duties and/or trucking charges
related to the shipments. As a general rule, revenue received by the company for
shipments via ocean freight are marked up at a lower percentage versus their
related forwarding expense than are shipments via airfreight, i.e., forwarding
expense as a percentage of revenue is generally higher (and the company earns
less) for ocean freight than for airfreight.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2004, forwarding expense increased by
$5,021,598, or 49.2%, to $15,232,168, as compared to $10,210,570 for the second
quarter of fiscal 2003. The percentage increase was slightly higher than the
increase in the level of total revenue year over year, yielding an increase in
the measure of forwarding expense as a percentage of total revenue from 87.6% to
90.2% year over year. The percentage increase reflects several principal
factors: (1) expansion of Janel's Los Angeles office in June 2003 and the
resulting increase in the company's export business, which is conducted
predominantly via ocean freight; (2) improving supply-chain management and
inventory planning processes which reduced the frequency of time-critical
shipments, and shippers increasingly utilizing more economical ocean freight
rather than higher-cost airfreight; and (3) worldwide air cargo shipments
continuing to be hampered to some extent by the weakness of the U.S. dollar
versus the Euro and the Pound Sterling, which has also curtailed the volume of
European imports into the United States, shipments of which typically utilize a
higher proportion of airfreight in the transportation mix.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. As a percentage of revenue,
selling, general and administrative expense in second quarter of fiscal 2004
declined 287 basis points to 9.42%, as compared to 12.29% in the prior year's
comparable period (and decreased 16 basis points as compared to 9.58% in the
immediately preceding first quarter of fiscal 2004). However, in absolute dollar
terms, SG&A expense increased $157,639, or 11.0%, to $1,590,552 in the second
quarter of fiscal 2004, as compared to $1,432,913 in the second quarter of
fiscal 2003. The year-over-year dollar increase in SG&A primarily reflects two
main factors: (1) incremental sales commissions payable on the $5.2 million
increase in year-over-year revenue; and (2) incremental expenses related to an
increase in headcount of nine persons year over year due principally to the
expansion of the company's Los Angeles office in June 2003.

Income Before Taxes. Janel's income before taxes for the second quarter of
fiscal 2004 rose $43,278 from $9,273 in 2003 to $52,551 in 2004, a
year-over-year increase of 466.7%. Consequently, the pretax profit margin on net
revenue (total revenue less forwarding expenses) increased by 254 basis points
year-over-year from 0.64% in fiscal 2003 to 3.18% in fiscal 2004. The principal
reason for the increase in pretax profit, and in pretax profit margin, was the
significant increase in year-over-year revenue combined with the decrease in
SG&A expense as a percentage of total revenue, which were sufficient to overcome
the increase in forwarding expense as a percentage of total revenue.

Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate in both the 2004 and 2003
periods reflects the U.S. federal statutory rate and applicable state income
taxes.

Net Income. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2004 was $29,551,
an increase of $24,278, or 460.4%, as compared to net income of $5,273 for the
second quarter of fiscal 2003. This reflects an increase in Janel's net profit
margin (net income as a percent of net revenue) of 143 basis points from 0.36%
in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 to 1.79% in the second quarter of fiscal
2004.

Six Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Six Months Ended March 31, 2003

Revenue. Total revenue (forwarding revenue plus interest and dividends)
for the six months ended March 31, 2004, was $33,059,830, an increase of
$7,466,027, or 29.2%, as compared to $25,593,803 for the first six months of
fiscal 2003. The increase in revenue in fiscal 2004 was primarily due to
increased business activity across the company's customer base attributable to
both new customer accounts and increased shipping activity by existing
customers.

8


Forwarding Expense. For the six months ended March 31, 2004, forwarding
expense was $29,747,504. This represented an increase of $7,154,024, or 31.7%,
as compared to the $22,593,480 forwarding expense incurred for the six months
ended March 31, 2003. The percentage increase was slightly higher than the
increase in total revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to
2003, resulting in forwarding expense as a percentage of total revenue
increasing from 88.3% to 90.0% year over year. The year-over-year percentage
increase reflects several principal factors: (1) a higher-than-normal proportion
of higher-cost airfreight in 2003 as shippers were forced to switch to air cargo
as a substitute for their usual ocean freight shipments during the approximately
nine-week-long U.S. West Coast dock strike in October/November 2002; (2)
improving supply-chain management and inventory planning processes which reduced
the frequency of time-critical shipments, allowing shippers to increasingly
utilize more economical ocean freight rather than higher-cost airfreight in
2004; (3) worldwide air cargo shipments in total continuing to be hampered to
some extent by the weakness of the U.S. dollar versus the Euro and the Pound
Sterling, which, has also curtailed the volume of European imports to the United
States, shipments which typically utilize a higher proportion of airfreight in
the transportation mix; and (4) the expansion of Janel's Los Angeles office in
June 2003 and the resulting increase in the company's export business, which is
conducted predominantly via ocean freight.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. For the six-month periods
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses were
$3,140,558 and $2,810,772, respectively. This represents a year-over-year
increase of $329,786, or 11.7%. The increase in SG&A expense year over year from
the respective six months of fiscal 2003 primarily reflected higher sales
commissions payable on the approximately $7.5 million in additional forwarding
revenue booked during the 2004 period, incremental one-time expenses incurred in
relation to the relocation of the company's corporate accounting function to new
offices in March 2003, and incremental expenses incurred as a result of the
addition of new personnel and expansion of the company's Los Angeles office
completed in June 2003.

Income Before Taxes. Janel's income before taxes fell 16.7% to $149,481
for the six months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to $179,391 for the six
months ended March 31, 2003. Janel's pretax profit margin on net revenue (total
revenue less forwarding expense) decreased by 147 basis points from 5.98% for
the six months ended March 31, 2003 to 4.51% in the six months ended March 31,
2004. The principal reason for the decline was the reduced net revenue margin
(down 170 basis points) during the 2004 period, which was only partially offset
by the lower SG&A as a percentage of total revenue (down 148 basis points).

Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate in both the 2004 and 2003
periods reflects the U.S. federal statutory rate and applicable state income
taxes.

Net Income. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 2004, was
$83,981, down $23,410, or 21.8%, as compared to $107,391 for the six months
ended March 31, 2003. Janel's net profit margin (net income as a percentage of
net revenue) decreased by 104 basis points, from 3.58% in the six months ended
March 31, 2003 to 2.54% in the six months ended March 31, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Janel's ability to meet its liquidity requirements, which include
satisfying its debt obligations and funding working capital, day-to-day
operating expenses and capital expenditures, depends upon its future
performance, is subject to general economic conditions and other factors, some
of which are beyond its control. During the six months ended March 31, 2004,
Janel's requirements for working capital decreased by approximately $340,000,
with the increase in accounts receivable more than offsetting the net decrease
in accounts payable, accrued expenses and taxes payable.

In March 2004, the company increased its existing bank credit line by
$500,000, from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000. As of March 31, 2004, the company's
outstanding indebtedness against the credit line was $1,000,000. In April 2004,
the company repaid $200,000, or 20%, of its then-outstanding $1,000,000 bank
indebtedness, reducing the outstanding balance of its bank note payable to
$800,000. Management believes that anticipated cash flow from operations and its
expanded line of credit is sufficient to meet its current working capital and
operating needs. At April 30, 2004, Janel had $1,200,000 of available borrowing
remaining under its bank credit line, pursuant to which it may borrow up to
$2,000,000 bearing interest at prime plus one-half of one percent (0.5%) per
annum, which is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the company
and is personally guaranteed by certain shareholders of the company.

Current Outlook

Janel is primarily engaged in the business of providing full-service cargo
transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding - via air,
ocean and land-based carriers - customs brokerage services, warehousing and
distribution services, and other value-added logistics services. Its results of
operations are affected by the general economic cycle, particularly as it
influences global trade levels and specifically the import and export activities
of Janel's various current and prospective customers. Historically, the
company's quarterly results of operations have been subject to seasonal trends
which have been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors including
climate, national holidays, consumer demand, economic conditions, the growth and
diversification of its international network and service offerings, and other
similar and subtle forces.

Based upon the results for the six months ended March 31, 2004, and its
current expectations through internal growth for the remainder of fiscal 2004,
Janel currently projects that gross revenue for its fiscal year ending September
30, 2004, exclusive of any potential acquisition activity or other extraordinary
events, will fall in the range of $64-$66 million, up from $56.9 million
reported in fiscal 2003.

Janel is continuing to implement its business plan and strategy to grow
its revenues and profitability through its fiscal year ending September 30, 2004
and beyond. The company's strategy, some of which has been implemented, includes
plans to: open additional branch offices both domestically and in Southeast
Asia; introduce additional revenue streams for its existing headquarters and
branch locations; proceed with negotiations and due diligence with privately
held transportation-related firms which may ultimately lead to their acquisition
by the company; expand its existing sales force by hiring additional
commission-only sales representatives with established customer bases; increase
its focus on growing revenues related to export activities; evaluate direct
entry into the trucking and warehouse distribution business as a complement to
the services already provided to existing customers; and continue its reduction
of current and prospective overhead and operating expenses, particularly with
regard to the efficient integration of any additional offices or acquisitions.

Certain elements of the company's growth strategy, principally proposals
for acquisition, are contingent upon the availability of adequate financing at
terms acceptable to the company. The company has engaged in a number of
discussions regarding potential new business affiliations as well as efforts to
secure the adequate long-term financing that would be required to effect such
new business transactions. However, to date, the company has not completed any
such new business transactions nor has it been able to complete any such
financing transactions at terms it deems acceptable. The company cannot
presently anticipate when or if such new business transactions or the necessary
supporting financing on acceptable terms will become available. Therefore, the
implementation of significant aspects of the company's strategic growth plan may
be deferred beyond the originally anticipated timing.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Act, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, the company carried out an evaluation of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's disclosure controls
and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with
the participation of the company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO) and Principal
Financial and Accounting Officer ("CFO"). Based upon that evaluation, the

the company's periodic SEC filings.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that
are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company
reports filed or submitted under the Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and
procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
company reports filed under the Act is accumulated and communicated to
management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in internal controls or in other factors that
could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
