1.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Basis of Presentation - The consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by United Shipping & Technology, Inc. which, together
with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, shall be referred to herein as the
"Company," without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of the Company, all
adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 29, 2001,
and the results of its operations for the three months ended September 29, 2001,
and its cash flows for the three months ended September 29, 2001 have been
included. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations,
although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended
June 30, 2001, and the footnotes thereto, included in the Company's Report on
Form 10-KSB, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of United Shipping & Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated
in the consolidation.

         Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period
presentation.

         Comprehensive loss - Comprehensive loss was $7.5 million and $7.2
million for the three months ended September 29, 2001 and September 30, 2000,
respectively. The difference between net loss and total comprehensive loss
related to foreign currency translation adjustments.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         Earnings per Share - Basic net loss per share excludes dilution and is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential
dilution that could occur if securities or other obligations to issue common
stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance
of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. For all periods
presented, diluted net loss per share is equal to basic net loss per share
because the effect of including such securities or obligations would have been
antidilutive.

2.    ACQUISITIONS

      Effective August 28, 1999, the Company acquired from CEX Holdings, Inc.
("CEX") all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Velocity Express, Inc.
("Velocity"), formerly known as Corporate Express Delivery Systems, Inc., a
provider of same-day delivery solutions. The acquisition purchase price, which
was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, was approximately
$91.2 million, subject to adjustment as defined in the merger agreement. The
purchase price consisted of $43 million in cash provided by an institutional
debt financier and an investment firm, and $19.5 million in a combination of
short and long-term notes issued to CEX. The Company, as a result of the
acquisition, received approximately $86.6 million of Velocity's assets and
assumed approximately $115.3 million of Velocity's liabilities, which resulted
in the Company recognizing approximately $91.2 million in goodwill.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         On August 2, 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price
adjustments to the CEX merger agreement related to the acquisition of Velocity.
Under the terms of the settlement regarding the purchase price, the Company was
no longer liable for the convertible subordinated note to CEX in the amount of
$3.6 million, the long-term subordinated note to CEX of $6.5 million, the
short-term subordinated note to CEX of $4.4 million and the accrued interest
related to the notes of approximately $2.8 million. Additionally, the purchase
price adjustments provide for the discharge of certain pre-acquisition insurance
liabilities totaling approximately $13.5 million as well as certain other
adjustments which had the impact of reducing specific liabilities by
approximately $12.0 million. The purchase price adjustments totaling
approximately $42.8 million were recorded as an offset to the goodwill in the
Company's first quarter of fiscal 2002. In conjunction with the agreement
pertaining to the purchase price adjustments, the Company issued common stock
warrants for services rendered by an outside consultant, who subsequently was
appointed Chairman of the Board of the Company. The fair value of the warrants
amounted to approximately $1.0 million and is included in other expense in the
statement of operations.

3.       RESTRUCTURING

         The Company began implementing a multi-faceted restructuring program in
March 2001 to allow it to achieve a cost structure to better position itself to
achieve profitability in the ever-changing logistics and transportation
marketplace. The Company as a result has streamlined and downsized its
operations by reducing its workforce and consolidating various locations. In
fiscal 2001, the Company took a restructuring charge of $7.1 million consisting
of: severance costs in the amount of $2.2 million related to the workforce
reduction of 234 full-time employees, $3.3 million for rental costs associated
with the termination of building leases and location rationalization costs, and
$1.6 million for the write-off of equipment. As of September 29, 2001,
approximately $6.6 million in costs have been charged against the reserve.

4.       LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES

         Long-term debt and capital leases consisted of the following:

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                                   (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         The senior subordinated note has interest payable quarterly at 12% and
is due September 30, 2004. The note is subordinate to the revolving note. The
initial carrying value of the senior subordinated note was reduced by $1.7
million for the fair value of the common stock warrant issued to the senior
subordinated lender. The warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions. The
unamortized discount aggregated $1.0 million at September 29, 2001, and is being
amortized over the five-year life of the note.

         In August 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price
adjustments to the CEX merger agreement whereby the convertible subordinated
note, the long-term subordinated note, and the short-term subordinated note
along with all accrued interest thereon, totaling approximately $14.5 million of
notes and $2.8 million of accrued interest, were terminated.

         Substantially all of the assets and operations of Velocity have been
pledged to secure borrowings under the revolving note and the senior
subordinated note. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants, the
more significant of which include limitations on dividends, loans and
investments, capital expenditures, new indebtedness and changes in capital
structure. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial covenants
related to minimum EBITDA. The agreements with the lenders also require the
Company to obtain the consent of the lenders for additional acquisitions.

5.       EQUITY

         Series F Convertible Preferred Stock - In July 2001, the Company
entered into Subscription Note Purchase Agreements whereby the Company issued
subscription notes payable February 2, 2002 in the aggregate principal amount of
approximately $7.1 million (collectively, the "Series F Subscription Notes"), to
a group of institutional investors and executive management of the Company. In
September 2001, the Company's shareholders approved the issuance of Series F
Preferred, and all of the principal balances of the Series F Subscription Notes
were converted into 646,029 shares of Series F Preferred. Each share of Series F
Preferred is immediately convertible into twenty shares of the Company's common
stock. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,110,384 shares of common
stock in connection with these sales.

         Series D Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock - The Company
entered into a bridge loan agreement dated January 4, 2001, and a supplemental
bridge loan agreement dated January 31, 2001 (collectively, the "Bridge Loan
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company received $3.5 million on January 4,
2001, and an additional $1.5 million on January 31, 2001. The indebtedness was
represented by promissory notes, payable on July 4, 2001, bearing interest at a
rate of 18% per annum (the "Bridge Notes"), which were convertible at the option
of the lender into 909,090 shares of the Company's Series D Preferred at an
exercise price of $5.50 per share upon shareholder approval of the conversion.

         The Company entered into note purchase agreements in connection with
the issuance of promissory notes convertible into shares of Series D Preferred
(the "Subscription Notes"). During March and April 2001, the Company sold
Subscription Notes convertible into 624,906 shares of Series D Preferred to
accredited investors for an aggregate $5.0 million. Each Subscription Note was
converted into shares of Series D Preferred at an effective purchase price of
$8.00 per share of Series D Preferred after shareholder approval of the
conversion.

         During March 2001, the Company entered into securities purchase
agreements in connection with the sale of Series D Preferred. The Company sold
252,429 shares of Series D Preferred at $8.00 per share for approximately $2.0
million.

                                   (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


         Each share of Series D Preferred is immediately convertible into ten
shares of the Company's common stock. The Series D shares have a mandatory
redemption feature that requires the Company to redeem each outstanding share on
the redemption date, March 1, 2007, at a price equal to the liquidation value
per such share. In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company issued
warrants to purchase an aggregate 216,533 shares of Series D Preferred at a
purchase price of $0.01 per share (the "Bridge Warrants").

         In September 2001 at a special shareholders' meeting, the Company's
shareholders approved proposals which accomplished the following: (1) conversion
of $5.0 million principal amount of the Bridge Notes into Series D Preferred;
and (2) issuance of shares of Series D Preferred to subscribers for such
securities and holders of subscription notes which were convertible into Series
D Preferred.

         As a result of the conversion of the 18% Bridge Notes into the
Company's Series D Preferred, the Company recorded a $4.7 million non-cash
interest charge. $880,000 from the 18% Bridge Notes was allocated to the Series
D Preferred warrants at the date of shareholder approval in September 2001. The
warrants were subsequently marked to market by adjusting the warrant value by
$650,000 at September 29, 2001.

         The Company's Series D Preferred that resulted from the conversion of
the subscription notes was deemed to have contained beneficial conversion
features that were recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders.
The value of the proceeds allocated to the beneficial conversion feature was
$2.7 million and was recognized as a return to the preferred shareholders at the
date of shareholder approval in September 2001 since the Series D Preferred was
immediately convertible.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

               UNITED SHIPPING & TECHNOLOGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

         In accordance with the "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private

Use of EBITDA and Cash Net Income

      The Company evaluates operating performance based on several measures,
including income (loss) applicable to common shareholders plus interest,
non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges associated with the
valuation of the Company's redeemable preferred stock and preferred warrants,
and non-cash charges associated with the granting of equity as payment for
certain services ("EBITDA") and income (loss) applicable to common shareholders
plus non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges associated with
the valuation of the Company's redeemable preferred stock and preferred
warrants, and non-cash charges associated with the granting of equity as payment
for certain services ("cash net income"). The Company considers EBITDA and cash
net income important indicators of the operational strength and performance of
its business; however, EBITDA and cash net income are supplemental measures of
performance and are not intended to represent measures of performance in
accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"). In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company reported positive
EBITDA of $569,000 as compared to negative EBITDA of $2.6 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 2001, an improvement of $3.1 million or 122%. Also in the
first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company reported cash net loss of $0.4 million
as compared to cash net loss of $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal
2001, an improvement of $3.7 million. These improvements are the result of the
Company's focus on cost containment, back office consolidation, and improvements
to the balance sheet which will be discussed in detail below.

Historical Results of Operations

Quarter ended September 29, 2001 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 2000

         Revenue for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 was in line with
management expectations, decreasing $37.3 million or 28.0% to $95.8 million from
$133.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in revenue
for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 is primarily the result of the loss of
revenues from divesture of non-core business operations of approximately $14.0
million over the same quarter last year, the elimination by the Company of $13.6
million of low-margin business through the consolidation of its networks, the
closing or consolidation of unprofitable locations of approximately $7.8
million, and $1.9 million due to the overall slowing of the economy and the
impact on the Company of the events of September 11th. Revenue by service
offering for the quarter was as follows:

         Scheduled services                        53%
         Distribution services                     21%
         Demand services                           21%
         Critical parts services                    5%

                                       13
<PAGE>

         Cost of services for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 was $76
million, a reduction of $28.8 million or 27.5% from $104.8 million for the
quarter ended September 30, 2000. As a percentage of revenue, cost of services
increased from 78.7% to 79.3% for the quarter ended September 29, 2001. The
overall dollar decrease is consistent with the revenue trend discussed above,
and is consistent with the expectation of savings as a result of the initiatives
begun in fiscal 2001. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of
revenue is principally a reflection of the timing of the implementation of
various initiatives that were instituted during the last fiscal year. Because
the savings in cost of services is a result of the initiatives begun in the
second half of fiscal 2001, management believes a more meaningful analysis of
the results comes from comparing the results of the first quarter of 2002 to
those of the fourth quarter of 2001, where the Company achieved a 1.4 percent
improvement in gross profit percentage over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001.
This savings is principally the result of continuing to move towards a variable
cost model under which the Company uses owner-operators and independent
contractors in greater proportion than employee drivers, as well as insurance
and safety initiatives resulting in lower claims and insurance expense.

         Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the quarter
ended September 29, 2001 were $17.0 million or 17.7% of revenue, a reduction of
$12.8 million or 43.1% as compared with $29.8 million or 22.4 % of revenue for
the quarter ended September 30, 2000. The decrease in SG&A for the quarter is a
result of the continued efforts by the Company to integrate, through technology,
all back office processes into one national platform, as well as its aggressive
approach to continued cost cutting of approximately $10.4 million, and the sale
of non-core business of $2.4 million. This focus has enabled the company to
realize a year-over-year improvement of 4.7 percent as a percent of revenue and
a 2.2 percent improvement as a percent of revenue over the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2001. The cost reduction initiatives which began in the second half of
fiscal 2001 included the flattening of the corporate and regional management
structure, the closing and consolidation of unprofitable locations, and the
selling of non-core business. The Company also realized additional savings in
the first quarter of fiscal 2002 through the centralization of the back office,
credit and cash applications, finance, and driver service functions. The Company
believes that further savings will be realized as it continues to centralize its
billing and invoicing processes, accounts payable and payroll functions.

         As compensation for structuring and finalizing the agreement between
the Company and CEX, the Company issued common stock warrants. The fair value of
the warrants was approximately $1.0 million and is included in other expense in
the statement of operations.

         Interest expense for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 increased
$4.1 million to $5.7 million from $1.6 million for the quarter ended September
30, 2000. Included in interest expense for the quarter are certain non-cash
charges related to the conversion of the Series D Bridge Notes and interest
thereon amounting to approximately $4.7 million. Interest expense related to the
Company's borrowings decreased $0.6 million over the same quarter in the prior
year primarily as a result of lower interest rates and lower borrowings.

         As a result of the foregoing factors, the net loss for the quarter
ended September 29, 2001, including one-time non-cash charges relating to equity
financing costs of $5.7 million, was $7.4 million, compared with $7.2 million
for the same period in fiscal 2001. Had the effect of the one-time charges been
excluded, net loss for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 would have been $1.7
million, compared with $7.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2001.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

         Historically, the Company has operated at a loss and has funded its
operations through a credit facility with a commercial lender, various private
placements of equity and debt, including sales of preferred stock, the issuance
of warrants, and various bridge loan agreements.

         Series F Convertible Preferred Stock - In July 2001, the Company
entered into Subscription Note Purchase Agreements whereby the Company issued
subscription notes payable February 2, 2002 in the aggregate principal amount of
approximately $7.1 million (collectively, the "Series F Subscription Notes"), to
a group of institutional investors and executive management of the Company. In
September 2001, the Company's shareholders approved the issuance of Series F
Preferred, and all of the principal balances of the Series F Subscription Notes
were converted into 646,029 shares of Series F Preferred. Each share of Series F
Preferred is immediately convertible into twenty shares of the Company's common
stock. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,110,384 shares of common
stock in connection with these sales.

         Series D Convertible and Redeemable Preferred Stock - The Company
entered into a bridge loan agreement dated January 4, 2001, and a supplemental
bridge loan agreement dated January 31, 2001 (collectively, the "Bridge Loan
Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company received $3.5 million on January 4,
2001, and an additional $1.5 million on January 31, 2001. The indebtedness was
represented by promissory notes, payable on July 4, 2001, bearing interest at a
rate of 18% per annum (the "Bridge Notes"), which were convertible at the option
of the lender into 909,090 shares of the Company's Series D Preferred at an
exercise price of $5.50 per share of Series D Preferred.

         The Company entered into note purchase agreements in connection with
the issuance of promissory notes convertible into shares of Series D Preferred
(the "Subscription Notes"). During March and April 2001, the Company sold
Subscription Notes convertible into 624,906 shares of Series D Preferred to
accredited investors for an aggregate $5.0 million. Each Subscription Note was
converted into shares of Series D Preferred at an effective purchase price of
$8.00 per share of Series D Preferred after shareholder approval of the
conversion.

         Each share of Series D Preferred is convertible into ten shares of the
Company's common stock. The Series D Preferred shares have a mandatory
redemption feature that requires the Company to redeem each outstanding share on
the redemption date, March 1, 2007, at a price equal to the liquidation value
per such share. In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company issued
warrants to purchase an aggregate 216,533 shares of Series D Preferred at a
purchase price of $0.01 per share (the "Bridge Warrants").

         In September 2001 at a special shareholders' meeting, the Company's
shareholders approved proposals which accomplished the following: (1) conversion
of $5.0 million principal amount of the Bridge Notes into Series D Preferred;
and (2) issuance of shares of Series D Preferred to subscribers for such
securities and holders of subscription notes which were convertible into Series
D Preferred.

         As a result of the conversion of the 18% Bridge Notes into the
Company's Series D Preferred, the Company recorded a $4.7 million non-cash
interest charge. $880,000 from the 18% Bridge Notes was allocated to the Series
D Preferred warrants at the date of shareholder approval in September 2001. The
warrants were subsequently marked to market by adjusting the warrant value by
$650,000 at September 29, 2001.

         The Company's Series D Preferred that resulted from the conversion of
the subscription notes was deemed to have contained beneficial conversion
features that were recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders.
The value of the proceeds allocated to the beneficial conversion feature was
$2.7 million and was recognized as a return to the preferred shareholders at the
date of shareholder approval in September 2001 since the Series D Preferred was
immediately convertible.

                                       15
<PAGE>

         The principal financing agreements consist of a revolving note and a
senior subordinated note. The Company's subsidiary is the borrower on the notes
with the Company, and its other subsidiaries, acting as guarantors.

         Borrowings under the revolving note are limited to the lesser of $55
million or an amount based on a defined portion of receivables. Interest is
payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 2.75% (8.75% at September 29, 2001). The
Company may elect the rate of LIBOR plus 6% at its discretion from time to time.
All amounts advanced are due September 30, 2002. In addition, the Company is
required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% on unused amounts of the total
commitment, as defined in the agreement.

         The senior subordinated note has interest payable quarterly at 12% and
is due September 30, 2004. The note is subordinate to the revolving note. The
initial carrying value of the senior subordinated note was reduced by $1.7
million for the fair value of the common stock warrant issued to the senior
subordinated lender. The warrant is subject to anti-dilution provisions. The
unamortized discount aggregated $1.0 million at September 29, 2001, and is being
amortized over the five-year life of the note.

         In August 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price
adjustments to the CEX merger agreement whereby the convertible subordinated
note, the long-term subordinated note, and the short-term subordinated note
along with all accrued interest thereon, totaling approximately $14.5 million of
notes and $2.8 million of accrued interest, were terminated.

         Substantially all of the assets and operations of Velocity have been
pledged to secure borrowings under the revolving note and the senior
subordinated note. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants, the
more significant of which include limitations on dividends, loans and
investments, capital expenditures, new indebtedness and changes in capital
structure. The Company is also required to maintain certain financial covenants
related to minimum EBITDA. The agreements with the lenders also require the
Company to obtain the consent of the lenders for additional acquisitions.

         Cash flows from operations -- The Company incurred an operating loss of
approximately $0.7 million for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 and has
positive working capital of approximately $15.1 million at September 29, 2001.
In August 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price adjustments to the
CEX merger agreement related to the acquisition of Velocity that resulted in an
improvement to working capital of approximately $14.9 million. The improvement
to working capital over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 was approximately
$17.9 million.

         As of September 29, 2001, the Company had no outstanding purchase
commitments for capital improvements.

         Cash flow used in operations was $0.8 million during the first quarter
of fiscal 2002, driven principally by the positive cash flow generated from
accounts receivable of $5.5 million offset with negative cash flow from other
current assets, accounts payable and miscellaneous accruals of $6.1 million.

         Cash flow used as a result of investing activities was primarily for
capital expenditures that amounted to $0.7 million.

         Cash flow generated through financing activities amounted to $0.5
million during the first quarter of 2002. Net proceeds from private placement of
Preferred Stock of $6.6 million was the primary source of cash during the
quarter. Long-term debt and notes payable resulted in negative cash flow of $6.1
million during the quarter ended September 29, 2001.

         The Company's operating plans include the continued implementation and
consolidation activities it had initiated in fiscal 2001 to further improve the
operating performance of the Company, as well as specific initiatives to reduce
specific cash expenditures related to general and administrative expenses. The
Company continues with the cost initiatives already in place, its back office
consolidation, and is quickly moving to achieve a variable cost model of service
to enable it to generate profitable revenue.

         The Company is dependent upon achieving certain revenue and expense
targets in its financial plan for fiscal 2002. The Company expects to meet its
financial projections for the next fiscal year and to continue to secure
additional financing from its lenders or through the issuance of additional
Company equity securities; however, there can be no assurance that such funding
can be obtained.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

         The Company's operations are not currently subject to material market
risks for interest rates, foreign currency rates, or other market price risks.



PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

         As of September 29, 2001, the Company was not a party to any material
legal proceedings.

         The Company is a party to litigation and has claims asserted against it
incidental to its business. Most of such claims are routine litigation that
involve workers compensation claims, claims arising out of vehicle accidents and
other claims arising out of the performance of same-day delivery services. The
Company carries workers' compensation insurance and auto liability coverage for
the current policy year. The Company is also named as a defendant in various
employment-related lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. The
Company vigorously defends against all of the foregoing claims.

         The Company does not believe that the pending lawsuits, if resolved or
settled unfavorably to the Company, would have a material adverse effect upon
the Company's financial position or results of operations. A monetary settlement
paid by the Company or an award against it in any of such actions could,
however, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's cash flow in a given
period in which a settlement or award occurs.

         Cautionary Statements Regarding Pending Litigation and Claims

         The Company's statements above concerning pending litigation constitute
forward-looking statements. Investors should consider that there are many
important factors that could adversely affect the Company's assumptions and the
outcome of claims, and cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors include:

         o        The Company has made estimates of its exposure in connection
                  with the lawsuits and claims that have been made. As a result
                  of litigation or settlement of cases, the actual amount of
                  exposure in a given case could differ materially from that
                  projected. In addition, in some instances, the Company's
                  liability for claims may increase or decrease depending upon
                  the ultimate development of those claims.

         o        In estimating the Company's exposure to claims, the Company is
                  relying upon its assessment of insurance coverages and the
                  availability of insurance. In some instances insurers could
                  contest their obligation to indemnify the Company for certain
                  claims, based upon insurance policy exclusions or limitations.
                  In addition, from time to time, in connection with routine
                  litigation incidental to the Company's business, plaintiffs
                  may bring claims against the Company that may include
                  undetermined amounts of punitive damages. The Company is
                  currently not aware of any such punitive damages claim or
                  claims in the aggregate which would exceed 10% of its current
                  assets. Such punitive damages are not normally covered by
                  insurance.

                                       17

         o        Although the Company has numerous claims, few, if any, are
                  believed to have the potential to have a material adverse
                  impact on the Company on a consolidated basis. An award
                  against the Company or a subsidiary, or a settlement paid by
                  it, in connection with currently pending claims could,
                  however, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
                  cash flow in a given period in which an award or settlement
                  occurs. Further, multiple awards against, or settlements by,
                  the Company or its subsidiaries in a particular period could
                  have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial
                  condition, cash flow and results of operations.


ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

         The following describes sales of the Company's securities in the last
fiscal quarter without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"):

         Pursuant to Subscription Note Purchase Agreements entered into during
July 2001 (collectively, the "Series F Note Agreements"), the Company issued
subscription notes in the aggregate principal amount of $7,055,700
(collectively, the "Series F Subscription Notes"), to a group of institutional
investors and executive management of the Company. No interest accrued on the
unpaid principal balances of the Series F Subscription Notes. On September 5,
2001, the Company's shareholders approved the issuance of Series F Preferred
having voting power greater than 20% of the outstanding voting securities of the
Company, and all of the principal balance of the Series F Subscription Notes was
converted into a number of shares of the Company's Series F Preferred equal to
the quotient of the principal being converted divided by $11.00. Subsequent to
shareholder approval on September 5, 2001, the principal amount of the Series F
Subscription Notes was converted into 641,412 shares of Series F Preferred. Each
share of Series F Preferred is convertible into twenty shares of the Company's
common stock. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 1,102,445 shares of
common stock in connection with these sales.

         In December 2000, the Company entered into a bridge loan agreement with
TH Lee Putnam Ventures ("THLPV"), and related entities, dated January 4, 2001,
and a supplemental bridge loan agreement dated January 31, 2001 (collectively,
the "Bridge Loan Agreement"). Pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreement, THLPV
loaned the Company $3,500,000 on January 4, 2001 and an additional $1,500,000 on
January 31, 2001. In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company
issued bridge notes to THLPV in the aggregate amount of $5,000,000, which were
due and payable on July 4, 2001. The bridge notes were subordinate to the
Company's senior indebtedness. Each bridge note carried interest on the unpaid
principal amount at an annual percentage rate of 18%. Interest on each of the
bridge notes was payable at maturity in immediately available funds or in shares
of Series D Preferred.

         On September 5, 2001, the shareholders approved the bridge notes and
their conversion into Series D Preferred. The bridge notes provided that the
number of shares of Series D Preferred issuable upon conversion of the bridge
notes would equal the principal value of the bridge notes and all accrued
interest divided by the lesser of: (a) the average closing price of common stock
as reported by Nasdaq for the five days prior to the conversion, or (b) a price
25% lower than the price per share at which the Series D Preferred, or any
voting stock that we issued subsequent to issuance of the bridge notes, was last
sold to one or more third party investors. Accordingly, pursuant to the purchase
price of the Series D Preferred established in the Series D Preferred purchase
agreement, the conversion price of the bridge notes was $0.55 per share, and
resulted in the issuance to THLPV of 1,017,538 shares of Series D Preferred, or
10,175,380 shares of common stock upon conversions.

         Pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company also issued to THLPV
bridge warrants to purchase an aggregate 216,533 shares of Series D Preferred at
a per share purchase price of $0.01. The bridge warrants were issued on January
4, 2001, and expire on January 4, 2006.

                                       18

         Pursuant to Stock Purchase Agreements entered into during March and
April 2001, the Company issued two subscription notes in the total principal
amount of $3,999,250 to two institutional investors, and two subscription notes,
each in the principal amount of $500,000 to two non-U.S. investors (collectively
the "Series D Subscription Notes"). No interest accrued on the unpaid principal
balance outstanding on the Series D Subscription Notes. The Company's
shareholders approved of the issuance of Series D Preferred having voting power
greater than 20% of the Company's outstanding voting securities and all of the
principal balance of the Series D Subscription Notes have been converted 624,906
shares of Series D Preferred. Each share of Series D Preferred is convertible
into ten shares of common stock.

         In connection with the sales of the Series D Preferred, the Company
engaged BB&T Capital Markets as its exclusive agent and has agreed to pay BB&T
Capital Markets approximately $200,000 as commissions on these sales. Except
with respect to its private placement of Series D Preferred Shares, no
underwriter or placement agent was used in connection with any of the
above-referenced securities transactions, and no underwriting commissions were
paid. No means of general solicitation was used in offering the securities. The
securities in each transaction were sold to a limited group of accredited
investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") in a private placement transactions, exempt
from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of
Regulation D thereunder.
