3. Consideration.
3.1. The consideration for the purchase

instructions to be provided by Liberty to Janel, as follows:

Price shall be allocated among the Liberty Assets as set forth on Schedule 3.3 and the IRS Form 8883 presented by

3.4, all as agreed upon by Janel and the Stockholders, or, in case of a dispute, as determined by the Auditor. If the total
of Liberty’s accounts payable as of the Closing Date exceed the total of Liberty’s accounts receivable as of the Closing
Date, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by such difference to the extent known at the Closing, and the Management Stockholders
shall promptly remit to Janel any such amount determined later and not so deducted from the Purchase Price to the extent such difference
was not deducted from the Purchase Price. If the total of Liberty’s accounts receivable as of the Closing Date exceed the
total of Liberty’s accounts payable as of the Closing Date, Janel shall promptly remit to the Management Stockholders the
amount of such difference to the extent such difference was not so added to the Purchase Price.
3.5. If after the Closing,
Liberty receives payments or other consideration on account of any of the Excluded Assets (for example, the IRS deposit), Janel
shall be promptly cause such amounts to be remitted 20% to the Investment Stockholder and 40% to each of the Management Stockholders.

the certificates and other contracts, documents and instruments required to be delivered by them, respectively, as set forth in
Sections 10 and 11.

Closing, any of the Liberty Assets are destroyed or damaged or taken in condemnation, the insurance proceeds or condemnation award

awards received by Liberty on or prior to the Closing and shall assign to or assert for the benefit of Janel all of its rights

condemnation. As and to the extent that there is available insurance under policies maintained by Liberty or its affiliates, predecessors
and successors in respect of any Assumed Obligation, Liberty shall cause such insurance to be applied toward the payment of such

or cause a material liability under any Facility Leases; and, there exists no occurrence of any event which (whether with or without
notice, lapse of time or both or the happening or occurrence of any other event) would constitute a default thereunder by any other
party. Liberty has delivered true and correct copies of the Facility Leases to Janel prior to the date hereof.

of the performance of the services thereunder, neither Liberty nor each Management Stockholder will, directly or indirectly, on
behalf of any party other than Janel or any affiliate of Janel, (i) solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent
contractor, or otherwise, any person who is or was an employee of Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel) at any time during
the term of the Employment Agreement or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate
of Janel) to terminate his employment with Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel), as the case may be; or (ii) interfere
with Janel’s (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel) relationship with any person who at any time during the term of the
Employment Agreement was an employee, contractor, vendor, supplier, or customer of Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not be deemed to be in violation of this Section: Management Stockholder’s
engagement of or interfence with the relationship of Piccerelli, Gilstein & Company, LLP and its personnel, Pasco Gasbarro
Jr. Esq. and Meridien Benefits Group, Inc. and its personnel.
(b) At any time during the a period
of two (2) years after the Closing the Investor Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, on behalf of any party other than
Janel or any affiliate of Janel, (i) solicit, employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise,
any person who is or was an employee of Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel) at any time during such period or in any
manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel) to terminate his employment
with Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel), as the case may be; or (ii) interfere with Janel’s (or any subsidiary
or affiliate of Janel) relationship with any person who at any time prior to the Closing Date was an employee, contractor, vendor,
supplier, or customer of Janel (or any subsidiary or affiliate of Janel). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not
be deemed to be in violation of this Section: (a) Investor Stockholder’s engagement of or interfence with the relationship
of Piccerelli, Gilstein & Company, LLP and its personnel, Pasco Gasbarro Jr. Esq. and Meridien Benefits Group, Inc. and its
personnel and (b) inquiries and employment by general help wanted ads and employment of persons whose employment with Janel or
Liberty has been terminated.
13.4. In the event
of breach by Liberty or any Stockholder of the terms of this Section, Janel shall be entitled to institute legal proceedings to
obtain damages for such breach, or to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement and to enjoin Liberty and the Stockholders
from any further violation of this Section and to exercise such remedies cumulatively or in conjunction with all other rights and
remedies provided at law. Liberty and each Stockholder acknowledges, however, that the remedies at law for any breach by any of
them of the provisions of this Section may be inadequate. In addition, in the event the undertakings set forth in this Section
shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of extending for too great a period of
time or by reason of being too extensive in any other respect, each such agreement shall be interpreted to extend over the maximum
period of time for which it may be enforceable and to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable
and enforced as so interpreted, all as determined by such court in such action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Janel shall be not
entitled to institute legal proceedings to obtain damages from the Investor Shareholder for such breach, but its sole and exclusive
remedies against the Investor Stockholder shall be limited to enforcing the specific performance of this Agreement and to enjoin
such Investor Stockholder from any further violation of this Section 13.
14.1. Indemnification
by Janel. Janel hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders from and against any and all Losses (as hereinafter
defined), to the extent such Losses arise out of, result from, or are in connection with: (i) any breach by Janel of any of the
terms of this Agreement, (ii) any failure of any warranty or representation of Janel made herein, or (iii) any failure by Janel
to perform or comply with any of their covenants or obligations under this Agreement.
14.2. Indemnification
by Liberty and the Stockholders. Liberty and the Management Stockholders hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify and
hold harmless Janel and its shareholders, directors, officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all Losses, to the
extent such Losses arise out of, result from, or are in connection with: (i) any breach by Liberty or any Management Stockholder
of any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any failure of any warranty or representation of Liberty or any Management Stockholder
made herein, or (iii) any failure by Liberty or any Management Stockholder to perform or comply with any of its covenants or obligations
under this Agreement.
14.3. Indemnification
by the Investment Stockholder. The Investment Stockholder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Janel and its shareholders,
directors, officers, agents and employees, from and against any and all Losses, to the extent such Losses arise out of, result
from, or are in connection with: (i) any breach by the Investment Stockholder of any of the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any failure
of any warranty or representation of the Investment Stockholder made herein, or (iii) any failure by the Investment Stockholder
to perform or comply with any of his covenants or obligations under this Agreement.
14.4. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Losses” shall mean the aggregate of any and all payments for claims, liabilities, suits,
actions, demands, charges, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees
and court costs) of every kind and nature incurred by the indemnified party, net of all reserves with respect to such item, tax
benefits, insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment from third parties. Tax benefits will be
considered to be realized for purposes of this Section in the year in which an indemnity payment occurs, taking into account the
present value of any such tax benefits, and the amount of tax benefits shall be determined by assuming the person entitled to be
indemnified is in the maximum applicable foreign, federal, state and local income tax bracket.
14.5. If any claim
is made, or any suit or proceeding is instituted, which, if valid or prosecuted successfully would entitle a party to indemnification
under this Section (a “Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly give notice thereof to the others in writing.
At the election of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall, at its own cost and expense, assume the defense of such
Claim or participate either directly or through their counsel with the indemnified party in the resolution, by litigation or otherwise,
of any Claim. The indemnified party agrees to cooperate (and to cause parties within its control to cooperate) with the indemnifying
party in determining the validity of any Claim or assertion of any Losses including giving (and causing parties within its control
to give) the indemnifying party full access to information within its possession. The indemnified party agrees that it will not
(and will cause parties within its control not to) settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party
and to exercise its best efforts to avoid or minimize the Losses resulting from any Claim.
14.6. If any Claim is made which is
subject to indemnification hereunder by Liberty or the Stockholders, Janel shall have the right to withhold from the payments under
the Employment Agreement next due an amount which, in Janel’s reasonable discretion, will be sufficient to pay all amounts
due with respect to such Claim, subject to the following: (a) Janel shall notify the Stockholders in writing (“Claim Notice”)
that it has a claim, detailing the nature and amount of such claim; (b) if the Stockholders do not send a written notice to Janel
disputing all or a portion of the claim within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Claim Notice, Janel may set off, withhold
and deduct the amount of the claim; and (c) if the Stockholders sends a written notice to Janel disputing all or a portion of the
claim within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Claim Notice, Janel may set off, withhold and deduct that portion of the claim
that has not been disputed, and any amounts set off, withheld and deducted with respect to the portion of the claim that has been
disputed shall be paid by Janel to Hillel Tendler, Esquire, as escrow agent, to hold until Janel and the Stockholders shall agree
in writing, or a final non-appealable order from a court of competent jurisdiction, directing payment of the escrow. Any interest
earned on the escrow shall become part of the escrow.
14.7. The following
limitations shall apply to indemnification hereunder:
(a) Liberty and
the Stockholders shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 14.2 and 14.3 of less than $1,000 per
individual claim, and shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification unless and until the aggregate amount of all claims
of $1,000 or more for indemnifiable Losses equals or exceeds $50,000 in the aggregate, whereupon Janel shall be entitled to indemnification
for the full amount of such Losses.
(b) The maximum aggregate
amount of liability by Liberty and the Stockholders under this Agreement, including all indemnifiable Losses arising out of or
resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, shall not exceed 25% of the Purchase
Price actually received individually from Janel by such indemnifying party, with the following exceptions:
(i) The
maximum aggregate amount of liability (A) by the Management Stockholders for breaches of the representations and warranties set
forth in Sections 7.3, 7.8 and 7.17, and (B) by the Investor Stockholder for breaches of any of the representations and warranties
set forth in Sections 7A.1, 7A.2 and 7A.3, shall not exceed 100% of the Purchase Price actually received individually from Janel
by such indemnifying party.
(ii) The
maximum aggregate amount of liability for breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.2, 7.5, 7.7, 7.9,
7.23, 7.24, 7.25 and 7.26 shall not exceed 50% of the Purchase Price actually individually received from Janel by such party.
14.8. This Section
14 sets forth Janel’s sole and exclusive monetary remedy with respect to any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach
or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (including Schedules and Exhibits
hereto) or in any certificate or document or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise under this Agreement or
with respect to transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise, against Liberty or the Stockholders individually, as
stockholder or as officers of Liberty, and Janel shall not have any other rights or remedies in connection with or with respect
thereto.
None of the parties
hereto has incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage fees, finder’s fees, agent’s
commissions, or the like in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto agrees to
indemnify and hold the other parties hereto harmless against and in respect of any such obligation or liability based on agreements,
arrangements, or understandings claimed to have been made by such party with any third party.
| 16. | Nature of Representations and Warranties. |
All of the parties
hereto are executing and carrying out the provisions of this Agreement in reliance on the representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements contained in this Agreement or at the closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder, and any investigation
that they might have made or any other representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, promises or information, written or
oral, made by the other party or any other person shall not be deemed a waiver of any breach of any such representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement.
All notices, writings
and other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing, and sent by email with
acknowledgement requested, with a copy by registered U.S. mails, to the address set forth below, they shall be deemed to have been

provided.
18.1. Each party hereto
shall be responsible for and bear all of its own costs and expenses (including the expenses of its representatives) incurred at
any time in connection with negotiation, due diligence and closing the transaction described herein.
18.2. Liberty and the
Stockholders shall pay all income taxes and other taxes based on its taxable income which may be required as a result of the transactions
contemplated hereby.
Except as otherwise
provided herein, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained shall survive the execution, and delivery
of this Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall continue for a period of 18 months following
the Closing Date, except the agreement by Janel to pay the Purchase Price shall survive until payment and except for breaches of
the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.2, 7.3, 7.5, 7.7, 7.9, 7.17, 7.23, 7.24, 7.25, 7.26, 7A.1 and 7A.3 which
shall survive until the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation with respect thereto, and the covenants set forth in
Sections 8.1 and 9.1 which shall continue for a period of 12 months following the termination of any association between Janel
and the Stockholders.
| 20. | Termination of Agreement. |
20.1. This Agreement
may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing, by written notice
from the party terminating the Agreement to the other party, as follows:
(i) By Mutual Consent.
By the mutual written consent of Janel and Liberty.
(ii) By Either Party.
At any time before the Closing, by Janel or Liberty, (a) in the event of a material breach hereof by the non-terminating party
if such non-terminating party fails to cure such breach within five business days following written notification thereof by the
terminating party, or (b) in the event one or more of the conditions precedent to such party’s obligation to close the transactions
pursuant to this Agreement, as set forth in Section 10 or 11, as the case may be but subject to the condition set forth in the
next sentence, have not been satisfied as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
20.2. In the event
of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 20, or if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Closing
Date, all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate, except the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 20
and except for the provisions of Sections 8.1, 9.1, 18, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27. If the Closing shall not have occurred on or before
the Closing Date, nothing herein shall prejudice the ability of the non-terminating party from seeking damages from any other party
for any willful breach of this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the right to pursue any remedy at law
or in equity.
| 21. | Exclusivity; Termination of Agreement. |
21.1. Until the Closing,
Liberty and the Stockholders will not directly or indirectly, through any representative or otherwise, solicit or entertain offers
from, negotiate with or in any manner, encourage, discuss, accept or consider any proposal of any other person relating to the
acquisition of the Liberty’s stock or Liberty’s assets or business in whole or in part, whether directly or indirectly,
through purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, and will immediately notify Janel regarding any contact between Liberty
or the Stockholders or their respective representatives and any other person regarding any such offer or proposal or any related
inquiry.
21.2. In the event
the Closing does not take place on the Closing Date, the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to exclusivity set forth
above in this Section and to proceed to Closing will terminate.
The failure of any
party at any time or times to require performance of any provision of this Agreement will in no manner affect the right to enforce
the same. The waiver by any party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement will not be construed to be a waiver by any
such party of any succeeding breach of that provision or a waiver by such party of any breach of any other provision.
The invalidity, illegality
or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement will not affect any other provision of this Agreement, which
will remain in full force and effect, nor will the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a portion of any provision of
this Agreement affect the balance of such provision. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement
or any portion thereof shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall
be reformed, construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles.
Any dispute to be submitted
to binding arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Providence, Rhode Island,
in accordance with the rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator’s decision will be final
and may be enforced through any court having jurisdiction. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses associated with such
arbitration proceedings, including costs of witnesses, travel, attorneys, and other representatives. The general costs and expenses
of the arbitration proceedings, such as the fees of the mediator or arbitrator and the charges of the American Arbitration Association,
will be divided equally among the parties to the dispute.
26.1. Any suit, action
or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, shall be brought in the state and federal courts located in Rhode Island. The parties
hereto hereby accept the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts, as set forth above, for the purpose of any such suit, action or
proceeding. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that any of them
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof brought as set forth above, and hereby further irrevocably waive any claim
that any suit, action or proceeding so brought, has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
26.2. The parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that any party’s remedy at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement
would be inadequate and such breach or threatened breach shall be per se deemed as causing irreparable harm to such party. Therefore,
in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the parties hereto agree that, in addition to any available remedy at law, including
but not limited to monetary damages, an aggrieved party, without posting any bond, shall be entitled to obtain, and the offending
party agrees not to oppose the aggrieved party’s request for, equitable relief in the form of specific enforcement, temporary
restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy that may then be available to the aggrieved
party.
| 27. | Binding Agreement; Assignment. |
This Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Janel, at its option,
may designate one or more other direct or indirect subsidiaries or affiliates of Janel to purchase the Liberty Shares, but Janel
shall remain primary obligor to pay the Purchase Price and amounts due under the Notes contemplated by this Agreement. Except as
set forth herein, this Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto except as provided herein or with the prior written
consent of the other parties.
| 28. | Entire Agreement; Modification. |
This Agreement, which
includes all schedules and exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof, superseding all prior negotiations, correspondence, understandings and agreements, if any, between the parties;
no amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be binding on the parties unless made in writing and duly executed by all
parties. There are no oral or implied agreements and no oral or implied warranties between the parties hereto other than those
expressed herein. The Non-Disclosure and Non-Circumvention Agreement between Oaxaca Group, LLC, Janel and Liberty dated February
24, 2015, shall remain in full force and effect.
Each of the parties
hereto agrees to execute, acknowledge, seal and deliver, after the date hereof and after the Closing, such further assurances,
instruments and documents and to take such further actions as the other may reasonably request in order to fulfill the intent of
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
| 30. | Facsimile Signature and Counterparts. |

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS= REPORT
Liberty International Inc.
Pawtucket, Rhode Island
We have audited the accompanying financial
statements of Liberty International Inc. which comprise the balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements
of operations and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management=s Responsibility for the
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor=s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. 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 involves performing procedures
to obtain audit evidence about the amount and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend upon the
auditors= judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity=s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity=s internal control. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty International Inc. as of September
30, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND 2013
| 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Business description
Liberty International Inc. (“the
Company”) operates its business as a full-service cargo transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding
– via air, ocean and land-based carriers – custom brokerage services, warehousing and distribution services, and other
value-added logistics services.
Business combination
On December 1, 2013, the Company
entered into a merger agreement with International Delivery Systems, Inc. (“IDS”), a company with common ownership.
The Company accounts for business combinations in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations.
Use of estimates
in the preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.
Cash
The Company maintains cash balances
at various financial institutions. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$250,000. The Company's accounts at these institutions may, at times, exceed the Federally insured limits. The Company has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts receivable and
allowance for doubtful accounts receivable
The Company has a policy of reserving
for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable.
The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company
generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential bad debts if required.
The Company determines whether
an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have
an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, the Company uses assumptions and judgment, based on the best available
facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the
amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluation and adjusted as additional information is received.
The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may also record a general allowance
as necessary.
Direct write-offs are taken in
the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances
that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts.
Property and equipment
and depreciation policy
Property and equipment are recorded
at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to amortize the costs of the related assets over their estimated useful
lives on the straight-line and accelerated methods for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Maintenance, repairs and minor
renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Replacements and major renewals are capitalized.
Business segment information
The Company operates as one reportable
segment which is full service cargo transportation logistics management.
Revenues and revenue recognition
Full service cargo transportation
logistics management
Revenues are derived from airfreight,
ocean freight and custom brokerage services. The Company is a non-asset based carrier and, accordingly, does not own transportation
assets. The Company generates the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from
direct carriers (airlines, steamship lines, etc.) and reselling those services to its customers. By consolidating shipments from
multiple customers and availing itself of its buying power, the Company is able to negotiate favorable rates from the direct carriers,
while offering to its customers lower rates than the customers could obtain themselves.
Airfreight revenues include the
charges to the Company for carrying the shipments when the Company acts as a freight consolidator. Ocean freight revenues include
the charges to the Company for carrying the shipments when the Company acts as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (“NVOCC).
In each case, the Company is acting as an indirect carrier. When acting as an indirect carrier, the Company will issue a House
Airway Bill (“HAWB”) or a House Ocean Bill of Lading (“HOBL”) to customers as the contract of carriage.
In turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, the Company receives a contract of carriage known as a Master
Airway Bill for airfreight shipments and a Master Ocean Bill of Lading for ocean shipments. At this point, the risk of loss passes
to the carrier; however, in order to claim for any such loss, the customer is first obligated to pay the freight charges.
Based upon the terms in the contract
of carriage, revenues related to shipments where the Company issues a HAWB or a HOBL are recognized at the time the freight is
tendered to the direct carrier. Costs related to the shipments are recognized at the same time.
Revenues realized when the Company
acts as an agent for the shipper and does not issue a HAWB or a HOBL include only the commission and fees earned for the services
performed. These revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.
Customs brokerage and other services
involves providing multiple services at destination, including clearing shipments through customs by preparing required documentation,
calculating and providing for payment of duties and other charges on behalf of the customers arranging for any required inspections,
and arranging for final delivery. These revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.
The movement of freight may require
multiple services. In most instances, the Company may perform multiple services including destination breakbulk and value added
services such as local transportation, distribution services and logistics management. Each of these services has a separate fee
which is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.
Customers will frequently request
an all-inclusive rate for a set of services, which is known in the industry as “door-to-door services”. In these cases,
the customer is billed a single rate for all services from pickup at origin to delivery. The allocation of revenue and expense
among the components of service when provided under an all-inclusive rate are done in an objective manner on a fair value basis.
Income taxes
The Company elected to be taxed
as an "S" Corporation. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise=s financial statements and prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods
presented. The 2011 - 2013 tax returns remain subject to examination.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions
of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous
accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain
financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried
at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 820 defines fair value as
the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC
820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example
cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies
that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting
pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on
its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows when implemented.

and 2013, property and equipment consists of the following:

| |
$ | 286,199 | | |
$ | 292,099 | |
| 3 | LOANS PAYABLE – STOCKHOLDERS |
Loans payable – stockholders
bear interest at .2% per annum and are due on demand. The loans were repaid in 2014.
As of September 30, 2014 and
2013, treasury stock consists of 37.5 and 75 shares, at cost, which totals $62,000 and $397,000, respectively. During 2014 37.5
shares of treasury stock related to IDS, totaling $335,000, were retired as part of the merger agreement.
| 5 | PROFIT SHARING AND 401(K) PLANS |
The Company maintains a non-contributory
profit sharing plan and a contributory 401(k) plan covering substantially all full-time employees. The 401(k) plan provides for
participant contributions of up to 100% of annual compensation (not to exceed the IRS limit), as defined by the plan. Under the
terms of the Plan, the Company has the option of making both matching contributions and discretionary contributions determined
on an annual basis. The expense charged to operations for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 aggregated approximately
$49,716 and $59,595, respectively.
| 6 | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company conducts its operations
from leased premises. Rental expense on operating leases for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 approximated $185,000
and $182,800, respectively.
Future minimum lease commitments
(excluding renewal options) under non-cancellable leases are as follows:
September 30, 2015 | |
$ | 144,000 | |
2016 | |
$ | 70,000 | |
The Company sub-leases office
space to an unrelated third party on a month-to-month basis. Income received for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 amounted
to $4,800 and $6,600, respectively, and is included in other income.
Currency risks
The nature of the Company’s
operations requires it to deal with currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. This results in the Company being exposed to the inherent
risks of international currency markets and governmental interference. A number of countries where the Company maintains offices
or agent relationships have currency control regulations that influence its ability to hedge foreign currency exposure. The Company
tries to compensate for these exposures by accelerating international currency settlements among those offices or agents.
Concentration of credit
risk
The Company’s assets that
are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables from customers. The Company places its cash
with financial institutions that have high credit ratings. The receivables from clients are spread over many customers. The Company
maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectability and performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers’ financial condition.
Legal proceedings
The Company is occasionally subject
to claims and lawsuits which typically arise in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicated
with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
| 8 | CONCENTRATION OF CUSTOMERS |
Sales to three major customers
were approximately 34.5% and 29.2% of sales for the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amounts due from these
customers aggregated approximately $831,000 and $1,120,000 at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Management has evaluated events
occurring after the date of these financial statements through the date that these financial statements were issued. Other than
the item below, there have been no other events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
On August 14, 2015, The Company
and its stockholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Janel Corporation for
the purchase of the Company and all of the outstanding common stock. Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
took place on the same day. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Liberty Shares was $2,500,000,
subject to certain closing adjustments for Liberty’s accounts payable and receivable as of the closing date.

The Company has a policy of reserving
for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable.
The Company extends credit to its customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company
generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers and maintains an allowance for potential bad debts if required.
The Company determines whether
an allowance for doubtful accounts is required by evaluating specific accounts where information indicates the customers may have
an inability to meet financial obligations. In these cases, the Company uses assumptions and judgment, based on the best available
facts and circumstances, to record a specific allowance for those customers against amounts due to reduce the receivable to the
amount expected to be collected. These specific allowances are re-evaluation and adjusted as additional information is received.
The amounts calculated are analyzed to determine the total amount of the allowance. The Company may also record a general allowance
as necessary.
Direct write-offs are taken in
the period when the Company has exhausted its efforts to collect overdue and unpaid receivables or otherwise evaluate other circumstances
that indicate that the Company should abandon such efforts.
Property and equipment
and depreciation policy
Property and equipment are recorded
at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to amortize the costs of the related assets over their estimated useful
lives on the straight-line and accelerated methods for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
Maintenance, repairs and minor
renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Replacements and major renewals are capitalized.
Business segment information
The Company operates as one reportable
segment which is full service cargo transportation logistics management.
Revenues and revenue recognition
Full service cargo transportation
logistics management
Revenues are derived from airfreight,
ocean freight and custom brokerage services. The Company is a non-asset based carrier and, accordingly, does not own transportation
assets. The Company generates the major portion of its air and ocean freight revenues by purchasing transportation services from
direct carriers (airlines, steamship lines, etc.) and reselling those services to its customers. By consolidating shipments from
multiple customers and availing itself of its buying power, the Company is able to negotiate favorable rates from the direct carriers,
while offering to its customers lower rates than the customers could obtain themselves.
Airfreight revenues include the
charges to the Company for carrying the shipments when the Company acts as a freight consolidator. Ocean freight revenues include
the charges to the Company for carrying the shipments when the Company acts as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (“NVOCC).
In each case, the Company is acting as an indirect carrier. When acting as an indirect carrier, the Company will issue a House
Airway Bill (“HAWB”) or a House Ocean Bill of Lading (“HOBL”) to customers as the contract of carriage.
In turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, the Company receives a contract of carriage known as a Master
Airway Bill for airfreight shipments and a Master Ocean Bill of Lading for ocean shipments. At this point, the risk of loss passes
to the carrier; however, in order to claim for any such loss, the customer is first obligated to pay the freight charges.
Based upon the terms in the contract
of carriage, revenues related to shipments where the Company issues a HAWB or a HOBL are recognized at the time the freight is
tendered to the direct carrier. Costs related to the shipments are recognized at the same time.
Revenues realized when the Company
acts as an agent for the shipper and does not issue a HAWB or a HOBL include only the commission and fees earned for the services
performed. These revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.
Customs brokerage and other services
involves providing multiple services at destination, including clearing shipments through customs by preparing required documentation,
calculating and providing for payment of duties and other charges on behalf of the customers arranging for any required inspections,
and arranging for final delivery. These revenues are recognized upon completion of the services.
The movement of freight may require
multiple services. In most instances, the Company may perform multiple services including destination breakbulk and value added
services such as local transportation, distribution services and logistics management. Each of these services has a separate fee
which is recognized as revenue upon completion of the service.
Customers will frequently request
an all-inclusive rate for a set of services, which is known in the industry as “door-to-door services”. In these cases,
the customer is billed a single rate for all services from pickup at origin to delivery. The allocation of revenue and expense
among the components of service when provided under an all-inclusive rate are done in an objective manner on a fair value basis.
Income taxes
The Company elected to be taxed
as an "S" Corporation. Therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.
ASC Topic 740.10.30 clarifies
the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise=s financial statements and prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected
to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740.10.40 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods
presented. The 2011 - 2013 tax returns remain subject to examination.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted the provisions
of ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which defines fair value as used in numerous
accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements.
The estimated fair value of certain
financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried
at historical cost basis, which approximates their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
ASC 820 defines fair value as
the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC
820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the
use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair
value:
Level 1 —
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — quoted prices for
similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
Level 3 — inputs that are
unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies
that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting
pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on
its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows when implemented.
Currency risks
The nature of the Company’s
operations requires it to deal with currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. This results in the Company being exposed to the inherent
risks of international currency markets and governmental interference. A number of countries where the Company maintains offices
or agent relationships have currency control regulations that influence its ability to hedge foreign currency exposure. The Company
tries to compensate for these exposures by accelerating international currency settlements among those offices or agents.
Concentration of credit
risk
The Company’s assets that
are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and receivables from customers. The Company places its cash
with financial institutions that have high credit ratings. The receivables from clients are spread over many customers. The Company
maintains an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on expected collectability and performs ongoing credit evaluations
of its customers’ financial condition.
Legal proceedings
The Company is occasionally subject
to claims and lawsuits which typically arise in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicated
with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Management has evaluated events
occurring after the date of these financial statements through the date that these financial statements were issued. Other than
the item below, there have been no other events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
On August 14, 2015, The Company
and its stockholders entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Janel Corporation for
the purchase of the Company and all of the outstanding common stock. Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
took place on the same day. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Liberty Shares was $2,500,000,
subject to certain closing adjustments for Liberty’s accounts payable and receivable as of the closing date.
Exhibit 99.2
JANEL CORPORATION
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
The transaction (the “Transaction”) contemplated
by the Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among, Janel Corporation, (the ”Company”) and Liberty
International Inc. (“Liberty”) closed on September 14, 2015.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information for
the Company and Liberty are attached hereto:
Unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet at June
30, 2015, presenting the balance sheets of the Company and Liberty, giving effect to the Transaction, as if it had closed on October
1, 2014
Unaudited pro forma condensed income statement for
the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, presenting the statements of income of the Company
and Liberty giving effect to the Transaction as if it had closed on October 1, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
In presenting the pro forma financial information, we have adjusted
the historical financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) attributable directly to the Transaction,
(2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results.
Accordingly, we have adjusted the historical financial statements to give effect to the following:
| · | An estimated increase in bank borrowings used for the purchase price
and additional working capital for Liberty. |
| · | A charge to income for the additional interest expense associated
with the increase in bank borrowings. |
| · | A charge to income for the costs associated with the acquisition ($63,595). |
| · | A charge to income for the estimated amortization of the intangible
assets. |
The Transaction will be accounted for under the acquisition
method of accounting in accordance with the authoritative guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board for generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States with the Company treated as the accounting acquirer. The allocation of the purchase
price is preliminary and is dependent upon certain valuations that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information
to make a final allocation. Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited
pro forma adjustments presented herein.
You should read this information in conjunction with:
| · | The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial
information. |
| · | The Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September
30, 2014 and Form 10-Q for the nine months ended June 30, 2015. |
| · | The Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 21,
2015. |
| · | Liberty’s separate audited financial statements as of and for
the years ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto and its unaudited financial statements as of and for
the nine months ended June 30, 2015 included in Exhibit 99.1 hereto. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has
been prepared for informational purposes only. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management's estimates based on information
available at this time. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial
position or results of operations actually would have been had the Transactions been completed at the dates indicated. In addition,
the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating
results of the combined company.
