| · | Operating costs and expenses decreased by $219,156, an improvement of 9.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the same period of 2014. The decrease was the result of a change in service mix year over year toward lower cost services. Operating cost and expenses consist of cost of revenues, general and administrative expenses, and selling expenses. |
| · | Operating income was $513,077 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to an operating income of $200,628 for the comparable period ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the change in service mix and the contribution from shipping and chartering and inland transportation management services. |
| · | Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was $240,822 after deducting $19,000 in deferred tax benefits, compared to income tax benefit of $27,255 for the same period of the prior year. The increase in income tax expense was the result of a larger taxable base attributable to the increase in income from the inland transportation management segment of the Company. |
| · | For the three months ended September 30, 2015, net income was $155,048, compared to net income of $165,501 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
