REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Directors
Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd.
(an Illinois corporation) and Subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as of June 30, 2012, and the related
consolidated statements of income, changes in owners’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America as established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd. and
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2012, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2012



NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd. (Phoenix or the Company) provides international freight forwarding, customs house brokerage, air and ocean consolidation, and non-vessel operating common carrier services throughout the United States of America and abroad. The Company's sales are primarily concentrated in the United States of America (76%), Europe (4%) and the Asia/Pacific Rim region (20%).

Principles of Consolidation

The financial statements include the consolidated accounts of Phoenix and companies in which Phoenix (PHX USA) has a controlling interest. The consolidated financial statements include the following subsidiaries:

Phoenix International Logistics Co., Ltd. (Phoenix China), 100% owned.
Phoenix International Freight Services Limited (Phoenix England), 100% owned.
Phoenix International Freight Services, SAS (Phoenix France), 90% owned.
Shanghai He Xun Software Company (SHA He Xun), 100% owned.
Phoenix International Freight Services Limited (Phoenix India), 100% owned.
Phoenix International Freight Services Limited (Phoenix Ireland), 75% owned.
Phoenix Cesped S.r.l. (Phoenix Italy), 55% owned.

PHX Holdings Ltd (PHX Holdings), 100% owned.
Phoenix International Freight Services Limited (Phoenix Hong Kong), 100% owned by PHX Holdings.

The portion of net income attributable to non-controlling interests for subsidiaries not wholly owned is presented as net income applicable to non-controlling interest on the consolidated statement of operations, and the portion of the owners' equity of such subsidiaries is presented as non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of changes in owners' equity.

All intercompany transactions have been eliminated between Phoenix and the consolidated entities.

Variable Interest Entities

Phoenix evaluates consolidation of entities in accordance with applicable literature that requires that assets, liabilities and results of the activity of a variable interest entity (VIE) be consolidated into the financial statements of the enterprise that is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that the following entities represent VIEs that are required to be consolidated because Phoenix is the primary beneficiary: Phoenix International Tahiti SARL, Phoenix Properties - Missouri, and Phoenix Properties Missouri, LLC (collectively Phoenix Properties).

June 30, 2012



Revenue Recognition

Net revenues consist of the total dollar value of services purchased from the Company by customers. Gross profits are gross revenues less the direct costs of transportation and handling. The Company acts principally as the service provider for these transactions and recognizes revenue as these services are rendered. At that time, the Company's obligations to the transactions are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Nearly all transactions in the Company's business are recorded at the gross amount the Company charges its customers for the service it provides. In these transactions, the Company is the primary obligor, is a principal to the transaction, has all credit risk, maintains substantially all risks and rewards, and has latitude in pricing decisions. Unbilled services of $30,896,138 are included in accounts receivable and represent accrued revenues for services performed.

Cash

The Company maintains its primary cash accounts with one financial institution, which could potentially subject the Company to risk for those amounts in excess of insured limitations. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

The Company maintained $66,844,875 in cash balances at financial institutions outside the United Stated of America. The Company has not experienced any losses on such amounts and believes it is not subject to significant risks related to cash.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

The local currency is the functional currency for all of Phoenix's operations outside the United States. The determination of the functional currency is made based on the appropriate economic and management indicators. Assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated foreign affiliates are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end rate of exchange, and their statements of earnings are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are made directly to other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are charged or credited to earnings.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income includes net income and other non-owner changes in equity that bypass the statement of income and are reported as a separate component of owners' equity. For the year ended June 30, 2012, other comprehensive income is made up solely of the change in foreign currency translation adjustments.

Property, Equipment and Depreciation

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated lives of the assets. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the statement of income.

Phoenix International Freight Services, Ltd. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
June 30, 2012



Depreciation is based upon the following useful lives:

Asset description
 
Life
Buildings
 
39
Leasehold improvements
 
15 - 39
Furniture and fixtures
 
7
Machinery and other equipment
 
5 - 7
Automobiles and other transportation equipment
 
3 - 7

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended June 30, 2012, was $3,763,885. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, whereas major improvements are capitalized.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year.

Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of Phoenix's assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. No valuation allowance has been recorded in 2012.

The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At June 30, 2012, there was no liability for uncertain tax positions recorded on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company's policy is to classify all income tax-related interest and penalties as income tax expense. There were no interest and penalties in 2012. The Company's open tax years are 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and multiple state and foreign jurisdictions.

As limited partnerships, the taxable income of the Phoenix Properties is the responsibility of the partners and is included in the partners' tax returns.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized as the excess cost of an acquired entity over the net amount assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested for impairment on an annual basis, and more often if circumstances require. Impairment losses are recognized whenever the implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value. In 2012, no impairment loss has been recognized.

June 30, 2012



Accounts Receivable

The Company grants unsecured credit to customers in the normal course of business. However, the Company maintains an international credit insurance policy for its foreign sales. The majority of the Company's accounts receivable is due from companies operating within a variety of industries. Credit is extended to customers based on evaluation of the customers' financial condition. Accounts receivable are due based on contract terms and stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time past due, the customer's current ability to pay, and the condition of the general economy and industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has adopted authoritative guidance on the disclosure regarding fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

The Company discloses estimated fair values of financial instruments and extends existing disclosure to the fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the financial statements, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their respective fair values as of June 30, 2012, because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying values of debt instruments reasonably approximates their fair values, as stated interest rates approximate current market interest rates of debt with similar items.
