                                     PART I

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

GENERAL

The Company operates primarily as a truckload contract carrier with various
customers which ship truckload quantities of both refrigerated and
non-refrigerated commodities over various distances on a nationwide basis. As a
contract carrier, the freight rates are negotiated with the shipper and are
dependent upon competition, place of origin and destination, and the type of
commodity being hauled. The Company also operates a brokerage division out of
its offices in the Columbus, Ohio area where it takes shipping orders and
selects carriers other than the Company owned equipment or leased
owner/operators to transport the freight for a negotiated fee.

In addition to its primary business, the Company operates three driver training
schools, located in Marietta, Nelsonville, and Lima Ohio through its wholly
owned subsidiary, Gasel Driver Training Schools, Inc. Operation of these schools
is licensed by the Ohio Department of Highway Patrol.

The Company intends to continue to expand its business and operations through
internal growth and acquisitions. We are primarily interested in medium to long
haul truckload carriers with compatible freight lanes and existing business that
can be integrated into the Company's methods of operation.

HISTORY

Gasel Transportation Lines, Inc. (the "Company") is a corporation that was
organized under the laws of the State of Ohio on January 27, 1988. The Company
was initially formed for the purpose of becoming a transportation freight broker
hauling freight under the authority of other motor carriers on a commission
basis with its sole offices located in Marietta, Ohio. Shortly after its
inception, the Company evolved its business to obtain licensing with the
Interstate Commerce Commission ("ICC") as a common and contract general
commodities motor freight carrier in the 48 contiguous United States and Canada
and to operate its own tractors and trailers. In September 1988, the Company
received licensing from the ICC authorizing it to transport in interstate
commerce both as a


<PAGE>

common and contract carrier, and the Company obtained licenses in the 48
contiguous United States to operate under such licenses. Shortly thereafter, the
Company sought approval to operate in Canada, and it was licensed to operate
there, too. The Company also obtained its authority to broker freight. In
December, 1995, the ICC ceased operations and its regulatory functions and
jurisdiction over motor carriers was transferred to the United States Department
of Transportation.

In July, 1995, the Company acquired a trucking terminal and offices on County
Road 10, Rt. 4, Box 181A, Marietta, Ohio. This facility is now the principal
office and main terminal for the Company. The actual mailing address is P.O. Box
1199, Marietta, Ohio 45750, and the telephone is (740) 373-6479.

In July, 1996, the Company acquired the assets of a Florida based trucking
company, Earl W. Kersey Trucking, Inc. that included a terminal and offices
located on Highway 301 N, Dade City, Florida. During 1999, the Company purchased
5 acres of land adjoining the Dade City, Florida terminal.

At year end of 2000, the Company concluded its search for an acquisition when it
entered into an agreement to purchase certain assets of Eagle Transport, Inc.
and Eagle Transportation Services, Inc., affiliated companies with offices in
Plain City, Ohio (which is in the greater Columbus, Ohio area.) Effective with
the first day of 2001, the Company purchased the transportation equipment owned
by Eagle Transport, Inc. and the freight transportation business of Eagle
Transportation Services, Inc., which historically had approximately $9,000,000
in freight transportation revenues from both the equipment owned by Eagle
Transport, Inc. and through owner/operators and brokered freight. The purchase
included the leasing of an office at the former Eagle offices and the hiring of
some of Eagle's former employees, primarily those involved in freight
dispatching.

The Company has had a steady growth in revenues and owned equipment over the
past several years. During that time it has increased the number of owned,
either directly or by capital lease, tractors from 23 to its current number
as of March 31, 2001, of 112, its dry van box trailers from 31 to 162, and
its refrigerated climate control trailers from 11 to 102. In addition, there
are 11 tractors and 11 dry van box trailers that are owned and used in the
driver training schools. Annual freight revenues went from $3,325,606 for
calendar year 1994 to $12,516,997 for calendar year 2000.

The Company has received ISO 9002 certification by American Systems Registrar.
This certification means that the Company has been audited and verified to have
written policies and procedures for everything that the Company does, plus a
backup procedure in the event of a failure.

OPERATING STRATEGY

The Company is in direct competition with other motor freight carriers,
including many companies that are significantly larger than the Company.
Therefore, the Company focuses on providing a high level of transportation
services to its customer base with commensurate rates, rather than competing
primarily on the basis of price. Further, the Company has been able to compete
with these other carriers by having its terminals,


<PAGE>

together with the equipment that was based out of them, located in areas where
there were fewer competitors domiciled, by attempting to provide better and more
timely service, by operating new and specialized equipment, and by catering to
certain major shippers. With the acquisition of the Eagle Transportation
Services terminal location, the Company began competing in the Columbus, Ohio
market where there are many carriers located, which helps to re-enforce the need
for the Company to concentrate on providing excellence in its services. Our
company continues to upgrade its equipment so that it now operates late model
equipment utilizing fully integrated computer systems with onboard
communications systems.

OPERATIONS

As a licensed carrier with the U. S. Department of Transportation and the
various states and Canada, the Company business is dependent upon maintaining
such operating authority. One condition of retaining such authority is that the
Company must maintain liability insurance for protection of the public. Another
is that the Company meet the safety fitness regulations as evidenced by a
"satisfactory" by the U. S. Department of Transportation.

Each of the owned terminals are required to comply with various state and
federal environmental regulations with regard to the storage of fuel and oil and
the disposal of waste oil and tires. There is no significant cost associated
with operating under these regulations; however, in the event of a major fuel or
oil spillage, the cost of clean up could be significant.

DRIVERS

The Company does not have any employees that work for it directly because it
leases all of them from PeopLease Corporation. This includes the drivers. All of
the drivers must meet specific guidelines relating primarily to safety record,
driving experience and personal evaluation, including DOT mandated drug testing
and personal background checks. We recruit and retain drivers by offering
competitive compensation packages, purchasing quality tractors and equipping
them with optimal comfort and safety features, and emphasizing training and
retention programs. Drivers can earn bonuses on a per mile basis for safety,
paperwork, compliance and number of miles driven. All employees, including
drivers, are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan and health and life
insurance plans provided by PeopLease Corporation.

Although we currently have an adequate number of drivers, there can be no
assurance that we will not be affected by a shortage of qualified drivers in the
future. Significant driver turnover is a problem within the industry as a whole.
In addition, the trucking industry is experiencing a diminished workforce of
qualified drivers. As a result, we must compete with other transportation
service companies for the available drivers. We anticipate that the intense
competition for qualified drivers in the trucking industry will continue. The
Company is able to acquire new, inexperienced drivers through its driver
training schools and utilize them in conjunction with experienced drivers as
teams.


<PAGE>

In addition to our driver employees, we contract with a limited select group of
independent contractors who own and operate their own tractors and trailers. Our
experience with these has been limited to owner/operators who formerly worked
with Eagle Transportation Services, Inc. Each owner-operator is required to
enter into an owner-operator lease agreement which is cancelable by either party
upon thirty days notice. The owner-operators provide us with an additional
source of drivers. As of March 31, 2001, there were 8 owner-operators working
under this arrangement.

INSURANCE AND SAFETY

Our safety department is responsible for training and supervising personnel to
keep safety awareness at its highest level. We have implemented an active safety
and loss prevention program at our corporate headquarters. The emphasis on
safety begins in the hiring and continues in orientation, safety training, and
drug testing. Newly hired drivers, regardless of experience level, must
participate in a training program.

Our safety and loss prevention program is comprised of the ongoing education,
training and retraining of drivers regarding safe vehicle operation, loading and
unloading procedures, and accident reporting. It also includes random drug
testing. There are incentives for driver compliance.

There is also a disciplinary system for our drivers. Pursuant to this system,
disciplinary action ranges from written warnings to immediate termination
depending on the frequency and severity of the offense. Our Assistant Vice
President of Safety continuously monitors driver performance and makes
recommendations to our executive officers regarding employment and retention of
drivers.

We are committed to securing appropriate insurance coverage at cost-effective
rates. The primary risks that arise in the trucking industry consist of cargo
loss and damage, personal injury, property damage and workers' compensation
claims. We maintain insurance that we believe is adequate to cover our potential
liabilities and risks. Workers' compensation claims are through PeopLease
Corporation, and we are able to get a better group rate because of our
arrangement with them.

FUEL MANAGEMENT

As are all trucking companies, we are dependent upon the availability of diesel
fuel. We manage fuel purchases by directing our drivers to certain truck stops
along designated routes that give us certain discounts in return for volume
purchases on a recurring basis. Through the use of computerized monitoring
devices imbedded in the engines of our tractors, we monitor fuel usage, miles
per gallon, cost per mile, and cost per gallon. We have not experienced any
difficulty in maintaining fuel supplies sufficient to support our operations.
Nevertheless, shortages of fuel, increases in fuel prices or fuel tax rates or
rationing of petroleum products could have a material adverse effect on our
operations and profitability.

COMPETITION

The trucking industry is highly competitive and fragmented. We compete primarily
with other medium to long-haul, temperature-controlled and dry van truckload
carriers. Although there has been substantial downward pressure on the trucking
industry's rate

<PAGE>

structure, we believe that competition for the freight transported by us is
based primarily on quality of service, such as just-in-time performance, and, to
a lesser degree, on freight rates. There are a number of other trucking
companies which have substantially greater financial resources, operate more
equipment or carry a larger volume of freight than we do. We also compete with
other motor carriers in hiring qualified drivers. Our primary emphasis is
service, especially to our core carrier customers, rather than price alone.
However, due to substantial increases in operating costs, we have had to adjust
our rates to enable us to make an operating profit. This has been an industry
trend and has not caused a loss of customers.

EMPLOYEES

Through the leasing arrangement with PeopLease Corporation, we employ 171
persons, of whom 125 are drivers, 9 are shop personnel, 16 are in operations,
dispatch or brokerage, 17 administrative responsible for safety, billing,
accounting and collections, and 4 are in executive management positions.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

The principal offices and terminal for the Company are Company owned and located
on 12.5 acres adjacent to State Route 4, approximately 4 miles southwest of
Marietta, Ohio. The property has four buildings on it, the major one of which is
constructed of cement block and steel, is in good condition, and has the
corporate offices, a drivers lounge, and three maintenance bays located therein.
Other buildings include a freight transfer building made out of steel that is in
fair to good condition, a wood building for the drivers school and lounge that
was recently remodeled and is in good condition, and a cement block supply
storage building that is in good condition. The lot is used for parking the
Company transportation equipment and for operating a driving school practice
area.

The other major terminal operated by the Company is at the Company owned
facility in Dade City, Florida. There is a pre-engineered steel terminal and
office building located thereon that has three maintenance bays as well as
offices and supply storage. The building is in good condition. The total area
for this facility is 8.5 acres.

The Marietta, Ohio terminal has above ground fuel storage that is regulated by
the EPA. Additionally, both terminals have waste oil storage facilities that are
also regulated.

Both properties are subject to mortgages with the usual conditions that the
Company is entitled to use of the properties for its business needs so long as
they are operated in a lawful manner and the mortgage notes are paid and not in
default. There are no other operating or use restrictions.

The Company also leases offices and parking facilities at Paulsboro, New Jersey,
Alta Vista, Virginia and Plain City, Ohio. The leases in New Jersey and Virginia
are month to month while the lease in Plain City, Ohio is for a term of five (5)
years with options to renew for two additional five year periods and includes
office furniture and equipment.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The Company from time to time has been a party to litigation incidental to its
business, primarily involving claims for personal injury and property damage
incurred in the transportation of freight. We are not party to any litigation
which, individually or in the aggregate, management believes will have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition or operations. We maintain
insurance that we believe is adequate to cover our liability risks.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Freight revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000, increased $
1,319,128 (11.7%) to $12,516,997 from $11,197,869 for the year ended 1999.
Training school revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000,
increased $217,829 to $505,432 (75.7%) from $287,603 for the twelve months
period ended December 31, 1999. The increase in freight revenues was basically
because the Company had more revenue equipment in service and fuel surcharges
escalated with the increased prices of diesel fuel during the year 2000.
Training school revenue increases were due to increased tuition cost to the
students, increased number of schools in operation, and increased average
enrollment per facility.

Operating income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2000 was a loss of
($681,548), a decrease of $1,440,023 (189.9%) from $758,475 for the same period
in

<PAGE>

1999. The gross profit margin declined from 19.4% in 1999 to 7.6% in 2000.
Primary factors for the gross margin decrease were the increased cost of diesel
fuel, increased driver wages, increased insurance costs, and reduced equipment
productivity, which resulted in less than expected revenues per unit.

The net results were that the Company incurred a net loss after provision for
income taxes for the twelve months period ended December 31, 2000 of
($1,045,402) compared to a net profit of $100,697 for the same period in 1999, a
decrease of $1,146,099 (1,138.2%) from the prior year.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

The deficit earnings for the year 2000 have resulted in the Company being in a
severe need of working capital. Cash at the end of the year was $7,736, but
there was also an overdraft of $742,871.

The Company has increased its short-term borrowings and is working with its
long-term lenders to reach solutions to its capital needs. By year end 2000, the
Company had completed an extension or rewrite of most of its equipment notes.
The extensions and rewrites were done to reduce the total payments for the
months of October, November, and December of 2000, and improve cash flow. In
most cases, the principal payments for the months of October through December
2000 were deferred to the end of the notes, keeping its older, favorable
interest rates unchanged and paying the applicable interest. In a few cases,
principal and interest payments were waived for fees and placed on the end of
the notes.

The Company plans to raise sufficient equity and debt capital to offset its cash
deficit, and hopes that its anticipated net profits for the year 2001 will
provide the additional necessary working capital.

As part of its 3-year business plan, the Company intends to raise approximately
$500,000 in working capital during the first half of year 2001. Toward this
goal, the Company is working with Strategica Financial Services, a merchant
banking firm of Miami, Florida, and other industry specific lenders.

The balance of the cash deficit and maintenance of a positive working capital
position is planned to be provided by the Company's future earnings. To generate
positive earnings, the Company initiated an aggressive profit improvement
program during the second quarter of 2000. The earnings improvements were
primarily aimed at offsetting the rising fuel costs, reducing mileage without
freight (deadhead miles), increasing equipment productivity, and generally
reducing major operating costs.

A major step in decreasing fuel costs was to reduce the maximum speed of the
tractors. Decreasing the tractor road speed improved the fleet average fuel
consumption from 5.3 to 6.0 gallons per mile during the second quarter of 2000.
The Company expects to

<PAGE>

achieve and sustain a fleet average of 6.2 miles per gallon with better
driver/equipment monitoring and education.

The price the Company pays for its on-the-road fuel was significantly lowered
with the implementation of a designated fuel stop program. The Company completed
its negotiations with several major national fuel providers during the second
quarter of 2000 resulting in the reduction of its preferred fuel providers from
four to two and greatly improved the price per gallon, taking advantage of
volume discounts and identifying the clear price leaders. Through this action,
the Company has sustained an average of $.05 to $.08 per gallon favorable
purchase price to the national average since the second quarter of 2000.

Another major change in the Company's operations to reduce costs included
installing a new driver wage scale designed to attract and maintain a higher mix
of experienced drivers to ultimately improve equipment revenue and operating
costs. The Company also adopted a centralized dispatch method of organization
aimed at improving the equipment productivity, and developed a
recruiting/retention program to reduce driver turnover and improve driver
quality.

While these corrective actions produced positive earnings in the second quarter
of 2000, the succeeding third and fourth quarters were affected by several other
internal problems and external industry influences. Internally, the Company
suffered the loss of a major customer with higher than average outbound and
inbound rates, and length of haul. Replacement freight was not secured until the
end of the third quarter, causing a significant fall off in load activity and
revenue.

Simultaneously, the truckload industry was hit with a serious downturn in
business, resulting in freight volume being down for most of the year 2000. In
addition, fuel prices continued to escalate during the second half of the year,
peaking at approximately $.30 per gallon over the prices at the beginning of the
year.

Furthermore, there was an industry wide trend of significantly rising
equipment-related insurance costs. Upon the renewal of its insurance coverage in
October 2000, the Company sustained an increase in its insurance costs by
approximately 15%. This compares favorably, however, with more dramatic
increases for some fleet owners reporting 30% to 60% increases in insurance.

The Company is working with its insurance agent and underwriters to engineer
ways to reduce and minimize its insurance costs, including the use of higher
deductibles, more stringent hiring criteria, stronger safety practices, and
company participating insurance programs.

Although fuel surcharges are in place for most major customers, the Company
estimates it recovers only approximately 60% of fuel price increases. This
less-than-full fuel recovery is due to the majority of the Company's inbound
freight being provided by third

<PAGE>

parties ("brokered freight") without the benefit of any fuel surcharges accruing
to the Company. The Company is working on replacing brokered freight with direct
business to secure higher rates and incur less deadhead, particularly in the
Northeast and Florida.

Other corrective actions to improve earnings completed or in progress by the end
of 2000 include:

(1)  Increasing freight rates across the board by approximately 10%. Increases
     were implemented to be effective January 10, 2001. The Company did not
     expect any adverse fall off in freight activity resulting from this
     proposed increase as it had not raised the rates in over six years, and in
     fact, there was none. Additionally, there are signs of a trend by other
     carriers in the industry to increase rates as fuel, driver, and insurance
     costs continue to rise.

(2)  Continuing to improve the fuel costs reduction program. The Company
     believes it can further improve its fuel costs by stepping up its
     equipment-monitoring program and implementing fuel performance incentives
     to the drivers. The Company's trucks are equipped with an electronic
     monitoring device that is being utilized to cut down fuel consumption.
     Although the Company has consistently enjoyed a high rate of compliance
     with its designated fuel providers at approximately 90%, a level of 95% is
     expected to ultimately be achieved.

(3)  Installing a wireless equipment to dispatch communications system. At year
     end approximately fifty percent of the fleet was equipped with mobile
     communications gear ("Terion") providing satellite tracking of the
     equipment and real time digital communications between dispatch and driver
     for better load management, coordination with shippers, and improved
     equipment productivity. The balance of the units were expected to be
     installed by mid-January 2001, and in fact they were. Specific cost
     decreases are expected to occur in phone costs, and deadhead and
     out-of-route mileage.

(4)  Adding new driver training schools in Lima and Sandusky, Ohio. These new
     locations not only contributed to additional gross revenues, but the Lima
     school is expected to supply the Company with a new driver base for the
     greater Columbus, Ohio metro area where the Company established a presence
     in January 2001 with its acquisition of the Eagle Transportation Services,
     Inc.'s transportation business.

(5)  Adding 21 new state-of-the-art tractors replacing 18 older models. Eleven
     of the new tractor lot was put into service in late December 2000 with the
     balance installed by mid-January 2001. The Company expects to benefit from
     the new equipment's lower operating costs and deferred note payments
     resulting from paying off loans on the old equipment and financing of the
     new equipment.

(6)  Adding 34 new and late model refrigerated trailers in late December 2000.
     This equipment addition is expected to improve the Company's opportunity to
     haul more

<PAGE>

     temperature controlled freight at higher rates and improve its efficiency
     by eliminating costly freight transfers.

(7)  Developing a turnaround plan for the Company's Florida traffic lane. An
     analysis of the Florida traffic lane, where the Company has a major driver
     base and equipment maintenance facility, was completed in December 2000.
     The analysis revealed it was operating at a large deficit.

     The loss was a result of inadequate rates for both inbound freight to
     Florida and outbound freight from the state. The Florida inbound rates were
     particularly low for the mid to southern regions of the state. The Company
     planned to increase its rates from its primary Florida inbound customers by
     $.10 to $.20 per mile for North Florida and $.20 to $.30 per mile for South
     Florida by early January 2001, and it did so as planned.

     Additionally, the Company is working with a major Florida-based citrus
     customer that will potentially provide year-round freight out of Florida at
     significantly higher rates and eliminate excessive deadhead experienced
     during 2000. Meanwhile, in early 2001 it has placed additional power units
     with an existing profitable plant distributor and with the largest retailer
     in the U.S. so that it has better utilization of its Florida based
     equipment.

Interim unaudited financial statements for the first two months of 2001 indicate
that these changes are beginning to have a positive effect on the results of
operations.

The Company aggressively pursued acquisitions of other truckload companies
during the year 2000, primarily to secure complimentary traffic lanes and expand
its customer base.

The Company made one such acquisition at the year end which took effect as of
January 1, 2001, by acquiring the equipment and transportation business of Eagle
Transport, Inc. and Eagle Transportation Services, Inc.(collectively "Eagle").
By making such acquisition, the Company obtained a Columbus, Ohio area based
motor freight brokerage operation and a company owned equipment truckload
operation. Eagle Transportation Services, Inc. retained its warehousing
business, which is expected to compliment the Company's motor freight business.

Eagle's unaudited gross revenue for the year 2000 was approximately $9 million
and it had been moderately profitable the past three years with net profits of
approximately 3% of sales. Although no assurances can be given, management
expects the Eagle acquisition to add at least $9 million in annual revenues to
the Company and be a major factor in generating and improving its profits.

Profit improvements for the Company are expected immediately from Eagle's higher
rates, better margins from brokerage (20+%), and greater equipment efficiencies
from a larger, more geographically dispersed customer base.

<PAGE>

The Company also acquired several industry experienced executives and managers
from Eagle who are expected to strengthen the Company's management team and its
sales and marketing functions.

Although the Eagle acquisition is expected to replace a large portion of the
existing lower margin brokered freight, the Company plans to continue
acquisition pursuits to further assist in acquiring better outbound freight
rates from the Northeast and Florida. During a period of what is popularly
characterized as a "flushing out" of the trucking segment of the transportation
industry, the Company expects to find additional acquisition candidates at
extremely advantageous prices and terms.

                               AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This summary of significant accounting policies of Gasel Transportation Lines,
Inc., and its subsidiary, Gasel Driver Training Schools, Inc., is presented to
assist in understanding the Company's financial statements. The financial
statements and notes are representations of the Company's management who is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies
conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently
applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

The Company is engaged in the interstate trucking industry. Gasel holds federal
authority as a motor freight common carrier, contract carrier, and freight
broker. Its authority includes the continental United States and Canada.
Principal offices of the Company are located in Marietta, Ohio. In addition, the
Company has motor terminal and maintenance facilities in Marietta, Ohio,
Columbus, Ohio, and Dade City, Florida. Other operating locations include motor
terminals in Paulsboro, New Jersey, and Alta Vista, Virginia. Gasel's subsidiary
is a state-licensed Class A truck driver training school.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, which contemplate continuation of the
Company as a going concern. Although the Company's historical earnings have been
consistently positive, it sustained a substantial operating loss in 2000, which
consumed a significant amount of working capital.

At December 31, 2000, although the Company's current liabilities exceeded its
current assets by $4,023,552, a large part of the deficit ($3,361,004) relates
to the current portion of long term debt, which management expects to pay from
its normal operations cash flow.

Management believes it has the capability to obtain additional capitalization in
the form of debt and equity to appropriately capitalize the Company.
Additionally, to offset certain external conditions that could adversely effect
the Company's financial performance and condition, such as diesel fuel prices,
insurance and the general economy, management believes the Company has adequate
contingencies in place.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY (continued)

Strong corrective actions have been installed in 2000 and in early 2001 to
generate positive cash flows. These actions are mainly designed to increase
revenues through rate increases and reduce costs through equipment productivity
improvements and operating cost reductions.

In addition, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets and book of
business on December 27, 2000, of Eagle Transportation, Inc., and related
companies, a historically profitable, approximately $9 million per year gross
revenues (unaudited) motor freight operation based in Columbus, Ohio.

Management expects this acquisition to provide a significant increase in the
Company's freight volume, equipment efficiencies and contribute strongly to its
plans to generate future positive cash flows.

Interim unaudited financial statements for the first two months of 2001 indicate
that these changes are beginning to take effect,  as the Company earned a modest
profit.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant inter company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenue and direct shipment costs upon delivery of the
related freight. Direct shipment costs generally include the leased driver
costs. These costs are recorded as an expense and as accrued contract labor upon
delivery of the related freight. Driver training school revenues and rental
income are recognized when earned.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents, and long
term debt. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments have been
estimated by the Company to approximate fair value.

                     Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be
cash equivalents.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
effect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those estimates.

CREDIT RISK

The Company maintains cash in demand deposit accounts with federally insured
banks. At times, the balances in the accounts may be in excess of federally
insured limits.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of
credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. Credit risk is generally
diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's
customer base and their dispersion across many different industries and
geographic regions.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of
$40,000.

INVENTORY

Inventories consist primarily of maintenance supplies and fuel and are stated at
the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value.

                     Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. For financial reporting purposes,
the cost of such property is depreciated principally by the straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of 3-10 years for tractors and trailers, 40
years for buildings and 3-10 years for shop and office equipment. Amortization
of equipment purchased under capitalized lease obligations is included in
depreciation expense. For tax reporting purposes, accelerated depreciation or
applicable cost recovery methods are used. Gains and losses are recognized in
the year of disposal. Tires purchased with tractors and trailers are capitalized
as a part of the cost of such equipment, with replacement tires being
inventoried and expensed when placed in service.

GOODWILL

Goodwill purchased as part of the acquisition of the freight transport and
freight brokerage business of Eagle, as further described in Note 17, is being
amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated beneficial life of fifteen
years.

The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated if circumstances indicate a possible
impairment in value. If undiscounted cash flows over the remaining amortization
period indicate that goodwill may not be recoverable, the carrying value of
goodwill will be reduced to the estimated fair market value.

ADVERTISING

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $36,243
and $20,580 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

                     Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has elected to account for the stock option plan under Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB
25) and related Interpretations in accounting. The alternative fair value
accounting provided under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) requires use of option valuation models that were
not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under APB 25, when the
exercise price of the Company's stock options equals the market price of the
underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

STOCK SPLIT

In December 1999, outstanding shares of common stock were split two-for-one. All
share and per share amounts have been restated.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are reported using the liability method. Deferred tax
assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax
liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary
differences are the changes between the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation
allowance, when in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws
and rates on the date of enactment.

At December 31, 2000, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of $4.2
million for income tax purposes that expire in years 2009 through 2020.

NOTE 7 - EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Earnings per common and common equivalent share were computed by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the number of common
shares was increased by the number of shares issuable on the exercise of
outstanding stock options and warrants when the market price of the common stock
exceeds the exercise price of the options and warrants. This increase in the
number of common shares was reduced by the number of common shares that are
assumed to have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the
options; those purchases were assumed to have been made at the average price of
the common stock during that part of the year when the market price of the
common stock exceeded the exercise price of the options.

The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share (EPS)
and the effect on income and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive
potential common stock.

On November 26, 1999, the Company authorized a 2 for 1 stock split for
stockholders of record at December 10, 1999 and delivered the split shares on
December 20, 1999. (See Note 1.)

NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has adopted a stock option plan which provides for the granting of
options to certain officers, directors and key employees of the Company.
Currently, options for 310,000 shares of common stock have been issued under
this plan. The option price, number of shares and grant date are determined at
the discretion of the Company's board of directors. Grantees vest in the options
at the date of the grant. The exercise price of each option that has been
granted under the plan equals 100% of the market price of the Company's stock on
the date of the grant. Options under this plan vest on the grant date and are
exercisable for a period not to exceed 10 years from the option grant date.
Options are non-transferable.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of December 31,
2000 and 1999, and changes during the years then ended is presented below:

</TABLE>

The Black Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions
may materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair
value of its stock options.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. There were no options
granted during the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999; therefore, no pro
forma presentations are required.

NOTE 10 - WARRANTS

As part of the July,  1996  securities  offering,  the underwriter was granted a
warrant to purchase  30,870 shares of common stock at a purchase  price of $1.25
per share.  This  warrant was  exercised  in August,  1999,  by  executing a 10%
cognovit  note in the amount of $38,500,  of which  $26,419 was  outstanding  at
December 31, 2000.

As part of a consulting agreement dated October, 1998, Merchants Financial
acquired 80,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a purchase price of
$1.38 per share by executing 10% cognovit demand notes totaling $110,000. At

                     Years Ended December 31, 2000 and 1999


NOTE 16 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various other claims, legal proceedings and
investigations covering a wide range of matters that may arise in the ordinary
course of business. Management believes the resolutions of claims and pending
litigation will not have a material effect, individually or in the aggregate, to
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows prior to
contemplating potential insurance recoveries or accruals.

NOTE 17 - ACQUISITIONS AND COMMITMENTS

Effective January 1, 2001, Gasel acquired the freight transport and freight
brokerage business of Eagle Transportation Services, Inc. and Eagle Transport,
Inc., together with certain transportation equipment owned by them. Eagle
Transportation Services, Inc. and Eagle Transport, Inc. are Ohio corporations
with their principal offices located in Plain City, Ohio.

The purchase price of the acquisition was a total of $1,454,725. Of that amount
$892,225 was the amount of debt that encumbered the tractors and trailers and
which Gasel Transportation Lines, Inc. is to refinance and remove the primary
obligor's from liability thereon. While awaiting financing, the Company is
required to make the payments on the debt and indemnify the Sellers. On December
27, 2000 the balance of the purchase price ($562,500) was paid by delivering at
closing $150,000 in cash, a promissory note payable to the Sellers in the amount
of $150,000 and bearing interest at 10% per annum, a warrant to purchase 100,000
common shares of Gasel Transportation Lines, Inc. at an exercise price of $2.50
per share, a warrant to purchase 75,000 common shares of Gasel Transportation
Lines, Inc. at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, and a certificate for
175,000 common shares of Gasel Transportation Lines, Inc. valued at $1.50 per
share.

The purchase of Eagle's business was accounted for by the purchase method,
whereby the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed or to be assumed
from the purchased corporation are recorded by the Company at their fair value.
The excess of the amount paid over the fair value of Eagle's identifiable net
assets was $362,500,which has been reflected in the balance sheet as goodwill.
The Company expects to benefit from the goodwill acquired in this transaction
over a period of fifteen years, and is amortizing the amount recorded using the
straight-line method over that period. The supplemental disclosures reported in
the cash flow statement present additional information about the assets acquired
and liabilities recorded in 2000 as a result of the acquisition of Eagle
Transportation Services, Inc. and Eagle Transport, Inc.
