EGL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS







The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by EGL, Inc. (EGL or the Company) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) for interim financial statements and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles and practices disclosed in, and should be read in conjunction with, the annual audited financial statements of the Company included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 0-27288).  In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Companys financial position at September 30, 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.  Results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for EGLs full fiscal year.

Note 1 - Organization, operations and summary of significant accounting policies

EGL is a leading global transportation, supply chain management and information services company dedicated to providing flexible logistics solutions on a price competitive basis.  The Companys services include air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage, local pick up and delivery service, materials management, warehousing, trade facilitation and procurement, integrated logistics and supply chain management services.  The Company provides services in over 100 countries on six continents through offices around the world as well as through its worldwide network of exclusive and nonexclusive agents.  The principal markets for all lines of business are North America, Europe and Asia with significant operations in the Middle East, India, South America and South Pacific (see Note 15).

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include EGL and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and investments which the Company controls, through majority ownership or other variable interests.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Investments in 50% or less owned affiliates, over which the Company has significant influence, are accounted for by the equity method.  The Company has reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate operational and financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements.  Management must apply significant judgment in this process.  Among the factors, but not fully inclusive of all factors that may be considered by management in these processes are:  the range of accounting policies permitted by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; managements understanding of the Companys business  both historical results and expected future results; expectations of the future performance of the economy, both domestically and globally, within various areas that serve the Companys principal customers and suppliers of goods and services; expected rates of change, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates; and whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends.  The estimation process often times may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that lies within that range of reasonable estimates based upon the quantity, quality and risks associated with the variability that might be expected from the future outcome and the factors considered in developing the estimate.  This estimation process may result in the selection of estimates that could be viewed as conservative or aggressive by others.  Management attempts to use its business and financial accounting judgment in selecting the most appropriate estimate, however, actual amounts could and will differ from those estimates.

Revenue recognition



Domestic revenues and most domestic operating costs are recognized when shipments are picked up from the customer.  International revenues and freight consolidation costs are recognized in the period when shipments are tendered to a carrier for transport to a foreign destination.  This is one of the permissible methods under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 91-9, Revenue and Expense Recognition for Freight Services in Process.  This method generally results in recognition of revenues and gross profit earlier than methods that do not recognize revenues until a proof of delivery is received.  This method of revenue and cost recognition does not result in a material difference than if revenue and costs were recognized upon delivery.  Customs brokerage and other revenues are recognized upon completing the documents necessary for customs clearance or completing other fee-based services.  Revenues recognized as an indirect air carrier or an ocean freight consolidator include the direct carriers charges to EGL for carrying the shipment.  Revenues recognized in other capacities include only the commissions and fees received.  The Company reports the costs of certain reimbursed incidental activities on a gross basis in revenues and cost of transportation.

Stock-based compensation



Stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (Revised) Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).  The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006.  The Company establishes fair values for its equity awards to determine its cost and recognizes the related expense over the appropriate vesting period.  The Company recognizes expense for stock options, restricted stock and shares issued under the Companys employee stock purchase plan.  Before the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (APB 25) and related interpretations.  See Note 4 for additional information related to stock-based compensation expense.

New accounting pronouncements



On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS No. 154).  SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle.  The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations or its financial condition.

FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, was published July 18, 2006 clarifying FAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 sets the threshold for recognizing tax positions as more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities.  A position that meets the threshold shall be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  Subsequent de-recognition occurs during any period when the threshold is no longer met.  Interest and penalties otherwise applicable to the difference between the tax position recognized and the tax position taken on the return will be accrued and consistently reported in the financial statements.  Additional disclosure will be required in tabular format showing changes to the tax benefits recognized during the period and the reason for such changes.  The effective date is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006.  The Company has developed a plan for implementation effective January 1, 2007 and has begun gathering data from its foreign locations to complete the evaluation of the impact, if any, adoption of this interpretation will have on its financial statements.

On September 15, 2006, the Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157).  SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is required to adopt the provision of SFAS No. 157, as applicable, as of January 1, 2008.  The Company is currently evaluating this standard but has not yet determined the impact, if any, this adoption will have on its financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (CONTINUED)







On September 29, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132-R (SFAS No. 158).  SFAS No. 158 requires an entity to recognize in its statement of financial condition the funded status of its defined benefit postretirement plans, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation.  SFAS No. 158 also requires an entity to recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan within accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, to the extent such changes are not recognized in earnings as components of periodic net benefit cost.  The requirement to recognize the funded status of a benefit plan and the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 158 are effective as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006.  As such, the Company is required to adopt this portion of SFAS No. 158 as of December 31, 2006.  The requirement to measure the plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008.  The Company is evaluating this standard but has not yet determined the impact this adoption will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108 ("SAB 108"), effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006.  SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement for the purpose of a materiality assessment.  The Company does not anticipate the adoption of SAB 108 to have an effect on its financial statements.

Note 2  Business combination

In January 2006, the Company acquired from our former agent, certain freight forwarding and customs brokerage operations in Colombia for approximately $1.4 million, net of cash acquired.  The Company recognized $926,000 in goodwill, $513,000 for customer relationships and $150,000 for non-compete agreements in connection with these acquisitions.  The purchase agreements for the acquisitions provided for additional contingent three-year earnout payments of up to $1.1 million in the aggregate if certain post-acquisition performance criteria are achieved.  The Company recorded the acquisitions above using the purchase method of accounting; with the related results of operations being included in the Companys consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition forward.  The pro forma effect on revenues and net income of the Company assuming these acquisitions were consummated at January 1, 2005 was immaterial.

Note 3 - Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts 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 entity.  Stock options, shares issued under the employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock awards are the only potentially dilutive share equivalents the Company had outstanding for both periods presented.

Potential common shares issuable which were excluded from diluted potential common shares as their effect would be anti-dilutive were 794,000 and 1.2 million for nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively; and 850,000 and 1.3 million for three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The shares are anti-dilutive because the assumed proceeds under the treasury stock method are greater than the average market price of the underlying shares.



Note 4 - Stock-based compensation

Stock-based awards are granted under the provisions of the following plans:

Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Long-Term Incentive Plan permits the award of both incentive and non-qualified stock options.  The exercise price for all incentive stock options will be equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, as defined in the plan.  A maximum of 12.2 million shares is authorized for issuance under the plan.  Options awarded under the plan generally vest ratably over a three-year or five-year period from date of grant (or 100% upon death).  Vested options granted to date generally terminate seven years from date of grant.  Additional awards may be granted under the Long-Term Incentive Plan in the form of cash, stock, or stock appreciation rights.  The stock appreciation rights awards may consist of the right to receive payment in cash or common stock.  Any such award may be subject to certain conditions, including continuous service with the Company or achievement of certain business objectives.

EGL Director Plan

The Director Plan provides for an award to each non-employee director at the time they join the Board of either an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock or a number of shares of restricted stock, as determined at the discretion of the Board or a committee of the Board.  In addition, each non-employee director serving on the day after the annual shareholders meeting will receive an award of an option to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock or a number of shares of restricted stock, as determined at the discretion of the Board or a committee of the Board.  These awards vest on the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of award or the day preceding the annual meeting of shareholders following the award.  The Board or a committee of the Board may also make additional awards under the Director Plan, including awards of restricted stock to nonemployee directors in lieu of cash payments of annual retainers or annual committee chair or lead director fees.  A maximum of 400,000 shares are authorized to be issued under the plan.

Stock purchase plan

In 1999, the Company initiated an employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) to provide eligible employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries, including subsidiaries based outside of the United States, with the opportunity to purchase the Companys common stock through payroll deductions.  Employees may purchase common stock under this plan during a six-month offering period based on a formula provided in the plan document, which generally allows the Companys employees to purchase common stock at 85% of quoted fair market value.  Under this plan, 550,000 shares are authorized for purchase.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 20,000 and 31,000 shares, respectively, of common stock were purchased under this plan.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123R.  SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS 123) and supersedes APB 25.  SFAS 123R eliminates the alternative of using the intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS 123, which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the issuance of stock options or shares issued under the Companys ESPP.  SFAS 123R requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based awards be recognized in the financial statements.  SFAS 123R establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for stock-based awards and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting for generally all stock-based awards with employees.

The Company adopted SFAS 123R as of January 1, 2006 using the modified-prospective transition method.  Under this transition method, compensation expense includes: a) compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted through January 1, 2006, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and b) compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.  Results from prior periods have not been restated.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based awards to employees and non-employee directors using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB 25. Under APB 25, the Company generally only recorded stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock and was not required to recognize compensation expense for the cost of stock options or shares issued under the Companys ESPP.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and shares issued under the ESPP of $2.6 million or $1.8 million after tax and $7.8 million or $5.0 million after tax in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively.  The impact of stock-based compensation expense on basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.04 and $0.12 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively.  The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to stock-based awards for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

In response to recent publicity regarding stock option practices at other companies, management, under the direction and oversight of the Audit Committee, conducted an internal review of historical stock option grant practices and related accounting treatment.  Based upon this review, management and the Audit Committee determined that for certain stock option grants, mainly between 2000 and 2002, the measurement dates for accounting purposes were different from the recorded grant dates of the awards.  The examination has been completed and the company has determined that the cumulative impact of the adjustments related to incorrect measurement dates resulted in an understatement of compensation expense of $2.1 million pre-tax.  The Company concluded that the impact of these adjustments to the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements and it has been recorded as a charge in personnel costs in the third quarter of 2006.



Stock Options

Option awards issued under the Long-Term Incentive Plan are subject to a graded vesting over a service period of 3 or 5 years.  Option awards issued under the EGL Director Plan generally are subject to vesting over a twelve-month period.  In December 2005, the Company granted options to purchase 1.4 million shares to certain of its employees and executive officers with the number of options to be exercisable contingent upon satisfying performance vesting and time vesting criteria.  The performance vesting of the option shares is determined based upon the Companys earnings per share (EPS) for the year ending December 31, 2006.  Any portion of the option shares that do not satisfy the performance vesting criteria will terminate upon determining the EPS for 2006.  The portion of the options that satisfy the performance criteria will vest over a three year period with one third vesting in March 2007 upon determination of the EPS for 2006 with the remaining shares vesting in two equal installments in December 2007 and 2008.  The Company believes it is probable that such performance criteria will be met and began recognizing expense on such options effective January 1, 2006.  There was no compensation expense in 2005 for these stock-based awards.



Compensation costs for awards with service conditions only are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.  Compensation costs for awards with performance and service conditions granted prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.  For awards granted after January 1, 2006 with performance and service conditions, compensation cost will be recognized using the graded-vesting attribution method.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $13.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively.  Option exercises are settled with newly issued shares of the Companys common stock.

30.15                          



As of September 30, 2006, there was $22.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the Companys plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.71 years.  The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys stock over a preceding period commensurate with the expected term of the option adjusted for future projected volatility.  The expected term was determined using the simplified method described in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.  The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity commensurate with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant.  Expected dividend yield was not considered in the option pricing formula as the Company does not pay dividends and has no plans to do so in the future.  The weighted average assumptions used for grants in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:

Restricted Stock

The Company issues restricted stock to certain executive officers and other key employees under the Long-Term Incentive Plan.  The Company issued 37,500 shares of restricted common stock to its executive officers and other key employees on March 16, 2006.  One-fifth of the restricted shares vested in March 2006.  The remaining restricted shares will then vest in four equal installments in December of the years 2006 through 2009.  Upon vesting, the shares of common stock of the Company awarded as set forth above shall have no further restrictions.  In addition, restricted stock is issued to the Companys Board of Directors under the EGL Director Plan generally with a twelve-month vesting period.  The Company issued 6,700 shares of restricted common stock under the Director Plan on May 16, 2006 and issued an additional 2,300 shares on August 18, 2006.

The fair value of restricted stock is the excess of the average market price or closing price of the Companys common stock at the date of grant over the exercise price, which is zero.  Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the recognition of unearned compensation at the date restricted stock is granted is no longer required.  Therefore, the amount that had been in unearned compensation expense as of January 1, 2006 was reclassified into additional paid-in capital.

A summary of restricted stock transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is as follows:

The weighted-average fair values of restricted stock granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $43.26.  The total intrinsic value of restricted stock released during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $999,000.  As of September 30, 2006, there was $1.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.50 years.  The Company generally issues shares for restricted stock and shares under the ESPP from treasury shares.

Note 6  Future lease obligations

The Company maintains facility accruals for its remaining lease obligations under noncancelable operating leases at domestic and international locations that the Company has vacated and consolidated due to excess capacity resulting from the Company having multiple facilities in certain locations and changing business needs.  All lease costs for facilities being consolidated were charged to operations until the date that the Company vacated each facility.  Non-merger restructuring facility accruals are included in other liabilities and other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The changes in these accruals during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are as follows:

Amounts recorded for future lease obligations are net of approximately $15.7 million in anticipated future recoveries from actual sublease agreements and $8.9 million from expected sublease agreements as of September 30, 2006.  Sublease income has been anticipated only in locations where sublease agreements have been executed as of September 30, 2006 or are deemed probable of execution.  The Companys lease agreements for these facilities expire from 2006 to 2025 and sublease agreements expire from 2006 to 2012.  There is a risk that subleasing transactions will not occur within the same timing or pricing assumptions made by the Company, or at all, which could result in future revisions to these estimates.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement



The Company entered into an agreement dated as of September 30, 2005 establishing a $300 million, senior secured revolving credit facility (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).  The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates the Companys prior revolving credit agreement dated as of September 15, 2004, as previously amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).  The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is with a syndicate of 13 financial institutions with Bank of America, N.A., as lender and administrative agent and matures on September 30, 2010.

The Company may use borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes, to make permitted acquisitions and investments, to pay dividends subject to certain limitations and to repurchase its common stock.

Amounts borrowed under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of the Companys existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and secured equally and ratably by:

EGL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (CONTINUED)







-

all of the Companys present and future shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) each of its present and future subsidiaries (limited, in the case of certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries, to a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of such subsidiaries);



-

all of the Companys and each of its domestic subsidiaries present and future property and assets; and



-

all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above.



Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will initially bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either, at the Companys option, (1) LIBOR plus 1.25% or (2) the Base Rate (defined as the higher of Bank of America, N.A.s prime rate or 0.50% over the Federal Funds rate).  In addition, the Company is initially required to pay a commitment fee of 0.30% on the undrawn amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  Interest rates and commitment fees under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are subject to increase or decrease as a function of the ratio of the Companys Consolidated Net Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).  The Company may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR loans, subject to availability.  Interest will be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is subject to various covenants, including, among others, the following:

-

a requirement that the Company maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a ratio of Consolidated Net Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2006, and decreasing to 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter;



-

a requirement that, on a rolling four-quarter basis, the Company have a ratio of Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Charges (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of at least 2.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2006 and increasing to 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter;



-

a requirement that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company have a ratio of book accounts receivable by the Company and its subsidiaries to Consolidated Net Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of at least 1.1 to 1.0; and



-

limitations on, among other things, liens indebtedness, asset sales, dividends and stock redemptions, investments and acquisitions, transactions with affiliates and consolidations, mergers and sales of all or a substantial part of the Companys consolidated assets.



The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for an agreement of this type.  The occurrence of certain specified internal control events that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company also constitutes an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  If a default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent may, among other things, declare all outstanding principal amounts immediately due and payable.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains a $75 million sub-facility for letters of credit.  At September 30, 2006, the Company had borrowings of $72.9 million, $14.3 million in letters of credit outstanding and unused borrowing capacity of $212.8 million under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Note Purchase Agreement

On October 12, 2005, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement) providing for the issuance and sale of $100 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate, senior secured notes due October 12, 2012 (the Notes) to the purchasers named therein.  Banc of America Securities LLC acted as placement agent for this offering.  The issuance and sale of the Notes by the Company, and the resale of the Notes by Banc of

America Securities LLC was made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

The Notes are guaranteed by all of the Companys existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by:

-

all of the Companys present and future shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) each of its present and future subsidiaries (limited, in the case of certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries, to a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of such subsidiaries);



-

all of the Companys and each of its domestic subsidiaries present and future property and assets; and



-

all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above.



The Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with the Companys obligations under its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Companys guarantor subsidiaries to guarantee the Companys obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement rank pari passu in right of payment with their guarantees in respect of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Interest on the Notes will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.65% for the applicable interest period. Interest periods are defined as the three month period commencing on the closing date and each successive three month period thereafter.  Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each interest period.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company is subject to various covenants, including, among others, the following:

-

a requirement that the Company maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0;



-

a requirement that the Company maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a ratio of Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of at least 2.5 to 1.0;



-

a requirement that the Company have, at all times, a ratio of (x) book accounts receivable of the Company and certain subsidiaries to (y) Consolidated Net Debt (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of at least 1.1 to 1.0;



-

a requirement that the Company not, at any time, permit the aggregate amount of all Priority Debt (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to exceed 10% of its Consolidated Net Worth (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter; and



-

limitations on, among other things, liens asset sales, dividends and stock redemptions, investments and acquisitions, transactions with affiliates and consolidations and mergers.



The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default.  If a default occurs and is continuing, the Notes then outstanding shall (either automatically or by declaration of the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding, depending upon the circumstances resulting in the default) become immediately due and payable.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing because the Company failed to pay principal, interest or other amounts due and payable on the Notes, then any Note holder may declare all of the Notes held by it to be immediately due and payable.

International credit facilities and other debt

As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $29.5 million of borrowing capacity on international credit facilities and $7.7 million outstanding against those facilities.  Borrowings under international bank lines of credit are generally renewed upon expiration.  The notes payable to seller is composed of a note payable to the former owners of the Companys operations in Thailand, which is payable in annual installments of $200,000 through 2008.  As of September 30, 2006, the Company has no amounts outstanding under financed insurance premiums; however the Company may finance future insurance premiums as the Companys policies renew.  Financed software licenses and maintenance are payable in quarterly installments of approximately $235,000 in December 2006 and $174,000 in March 2007.  Loans for financed vehicles are payable in monthly payments totaling approximately $381,000 through October 2011 and have implied interest rates averaging 7.2%.

Note 9  Interest rate swap

In November 2005, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with a third-party financial institution to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of the Companys $100 million floating rate, senior secured notes, which has been designated as a fair value hedge under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended by SFAS 149.  In accordance with the swap agreement, the notional amount stepped down to $75 million in April 2006.

The fair value of the Companys interest rate swap agreement recorded as a derivative asset and included in other assets, net on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet totaled approximately $183,000 as of September 30, 2006, and recorded as a derivative liability and included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet totaled approximately $207,000 as of December 31, 2005.  The change in the mark-to-market valuation is a component of other comprehensive income (see Note 5).  The interest rate swap expires in January 2009.

Note 10  Guarantees

The Company guarantees certain financial liabilities, the majority of which relate to the Companys freight forwarding operations.  The Company, in the normal course of business, is required to guarantee certain amounts related to customs bonds and services received from airlines.  These types of guarantees are usual and customary in the freight forwarding industry.  The Company operates as a customs broker and prepares and files all formal documentation required for clearance through customs agencies, obtains customs bonds, facilitates the payment of import duties on behalf of the importer and arranges for payment of collect freight charges.  The Company also assists the importer in obtaining the most advantageous commodity classifications, qualifying for duty drawback refunds and arranging for surety bonds for importers.

The Company secures guarantees primarily by three methods:  a $75 million standby letter of credit subfacility (Note 8), surety bonds and security time deposits, which are restricted as to withdrawal for a specified timeframe and are classified on the Companys balance sheet as restricted cash.

The Company issues IATA (International Air Transportation Association) related guarantees, customs bonds and letters of credit in the normal course of business.  IATA-related guarantees and customs bonds are issued to facilitate the movement and clearance of freight.  Letters of credit include, but are not limited to, facilities associated with insurance requirements and certain potential tax obligations.  Generally, letters of credit have one-year or two-year terms and are renewed upon expiration.  As of September 30, 2006, total IATA-related guarantees, customs bonds and letters of credit were approximately $90.7 million.  Approximately $73.1 million of guarantees, customs bonds and letters of credit were outstanding, including guarantees of the Companys trade payables and accrued transportation costs and borrowings against its international credit facilities of $7.7 million which were recorded as liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.

Note 11  Contingencies



Litigation

One former and two current independent contractor pickup and delivery (P&D) drivers filed a complaint in California state court on September 12, 2005, on behalf of themselves and similarly situated drivers in California alleging various causes of action based on their theory that the drivers are employees and not independent contractors.  The complaint requests (i) that the matter be designated as a class action on behalf of all independent contractor P&D drivers working for the Company in California; (ii) a declaratory judgment that the Company has violated the law; (iii) an equitable accounting; and (iv) an unspecified amount of damages and restitution in the form of business expenses, unpaid overtime, meal period compensation, unlawful deductions from wages, statutory penalties, interest, attorneys fees and costs.  The Company removed the case to federal district court for the Northern District of California, and the parties have agreed to focus only on the individual claims of the three named defendants in the first phase of the proceedings.  In the event one or more of the plaintiffs claims survive the summary judgment phase, the next phase would focus on whether the action is maintainable as a class action.  The Company intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit and believes that plaintiffs are properly classified as independent contractors.

Other legal matters

In addition, the Company is party to routine litigation incidental to its business, which primarily involves employment matters or claims for goods lost or damaged in transit or improperly shipped.  Many of the other lawsuits to which the Company is a party are covered by insurance and are being defended by Companys insurance carriers.  The Company has established accruals for these other matters and it is managements opinion that the resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  However, a substantial settlement payment or judgment in excess of the Companys accruals could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

U.K. fire damage



On January 9, 2005, the Companys London (Thurrock) warehouse and all contents were destroyed by fire.  At the time of the fire, the Company maintained insurance coverage for damaged property, business interruption and cargo losses with insurance limits of $35 million for damaged property and business interruption and $10 million for cargo losses.

In March 2006, the Company received a payment of $517,000 on its property insurance claim which resulted in a gain of $324,000 in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income.  On March 31, 2006, the Company resolved its outstanding business interruption claim with its insurance carrier.  The total agreed amount was $3.1 million which includes the $928,000 interim payment received in May 2005.  The outstanding payment of $2.2 million, of which $223,000, $1.5 million and $483,000 were recorded in revenues, personnel costs and other selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, was received on May 4, 2006.

As of September 30, 2006, $4.9 million of cargo claims have been settled under the Companys insurance policy.  An additional estimated $5.6 million of claims remain open of which $5.1 million is deemed probable of recovery under the Companys insurance policy.  As of September 30, 2006, the Company had recorded a liability of $459,000 for the estimated claims in excess of its insurance policy limits, of which $46,000 and $213,000 was expensed in the first and second quarters of 2006, respectively, and $624,000 was released in the third quarter of 2006.  At September 30, 2006, a $5.1 million insurance receivable and a $5.6 million insurance liability for these estimated cargo losses were included in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet.  However, existing claims could be settled in excess of the Companys insurance limits, which could have a material adverse impact on its financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

U.S. Government billing

During 2003 and 2004, the Company acted as a logistics subcontractor in the Middle East to Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. (KBR), which as general contractor provided various services to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) and other U.S. government agencies.  In 2004, the Company received an administrative subpoena from the Office of Inspector General of the DOD requesting documents relating to the billing of war risk surcharges by the Company on certain shipments of KBR freight in the period from late 2003 to mid-2004.  The Company has cooperated fully with the governments request and its investigation.  In the course of its internal investigation of the matter, the Company reviewed documents related to the imposition of war risk surcharges on it by transportation providers.  The Company uncovered evidence suggesting that certain documents related to the imposition of war risk surcharges on the Company, that were then charged to KBR, were false and the charges were not warranted.  Following this discovery, and with approval from the government, the Company engaged auditors to conduct a forensic analysis of war risk surcharges charged by the Company.  This analysis concluded that approximately $1.1 million of war risk surcharges charged by the Company were not actually imposed on the Company by transportation providers.  The Company provided the results of this investigation to the government and promptly terminated two employees for violation of the Companys Code of Conduct.

As a result of discussions with the government, we received a letter from the United States Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Texas on December 12, 2005, offering to settle the war risk surcharge issue for the sum of $4.0 million.  Of the $4.0 million, $1.1 million reimburses the government for war risk surcharges (the full amount of which had been previously reserved in EGLs financial statements), and the remaining $2.9 million represents penalties for improper billings.  EGL entered into a settlement agreement with the government in accordance with the letter on June 5, 2006 and paid the $4.0 million on June 21, 2006.  Recognizing EGLs cooperation in and assistance with the governments review, as part of the settlement the United States Attorneys Office and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service agreed to waive all investigatory expenses.  In addition, the United States Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Texas is not expected to recommend to the DOD or the Department of Justice any criminal indictment of the Company related to the war risk surcharges.

Federal income tax audit

The Companys U.S. federal income tax returns from fiscal years 2000 to 2001 are currently subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  The case has been with the Appeals Division of the IRS since June 2005 with settlement discussions continuing.

The income tax returns that are under audit are the income tax returns filed by EGL for fiscal years ended September 30, 2000, September 30, 2001, December 31, 2001, and the final income tax return filed by Circle International Group, Inc., a subsidiary of EGL, Inc., for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2000, when it was a separate company prior to the merger with EGL, Inc.

Specifically, the IRS is proposing to disallow various merger transaction costs taken as tax deductions related to the merger of EGL and Circle, and to allocate to all of its foreign affiliates certain merger and selling, general and administrative expenses that were taken as tax deductions on the 2000 and 2001 fiscal return years for both EGL and Circle.  The IRS is also proposing to disallow the deduction of various software research and development expenditures that were taken as tax deductions on the 2000 and 2001 fiscal tax returns for EGL.

If the proposed adjustments were upheld, the Company would be required to pay a total amount of approximately $14 million in cash taxes, of which approximately $6.5 million would impact the consolidated statement of income, plus accrued interest of approximately $6.2 million through September 30, 2006.  The remaining cash tax impact of $7.5 million is related to temporary items that will be recovered in future periods.  No penalties have been proposed by the IRS as part of this examination.  Interest will continue to accrue until the matters are resolved.  The Company believes that the matters raised by the IRS were properly reported on its U.S. federal income tax returns in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in effect during the tax periods involved and is challenging these adjustments vigorously.  While the outcome of proceedings for these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the

Company does not believe material adjustments to its tax returns are probable at this time.  However there is no assurance that the final outcome of the future proceedings with the IRS will not result in material adjustments which would have a material adverse impact on the Companys results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Note 12  Employee benefit plans

The Company maintains the EGL, Inc. 401(k) Plan pursuant to which the Company provides up to dollar for dollar discretionary matching of employee tax-deferred savings up to a maximum of 5% of eligible compensation for employees in the United States.  Each participant vests in the Companys contribution over the course of five years at a vesting rate of 20% per year. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company funded the 2005 discretionary contribution to the plan of $2.0 million.  No additional discretionary contributions were made to this plan in the three months ended September 30, 2006.

Certain of our international subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time employees.  Benefits are based on the employees years of service and compensation.  The Companys plans are funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations of the country in which the plans are located.  These foreign plans are not subject to the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  Components of compensation expense consisted of the following (in thousands):

Note 13  Related party transactions

Aircraft usage payments

In conjunction with the Companys business activities, the Company periodically utilized aircraft owned or leased by entities that are controlled by James R. Crane, the Companys Chief Executive Officer.  In January 2005, the Company purchased from an unrelated party an aircraft that was previously leased by an entity controlled by Mr. Crane for $12.5 million to be utilized for business travel, eliminating the use of Mr. Cranes aircraft and reimbursement thereof.



For 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved, in lieu of incremental cash compensation, an arrangement to provide Mr. Crane, or his designees, with up to an aggregate of 141.3 hours of personal use of the Companys aircraft without reimbursement by Mr. Crane.  In the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, Mr. Crane used 9.0 and 62.6 hours, respectively.  Members of the Companys Board of Directors are also allowed personal usage of the Companys aircraft subject to availability, with priority given to the Companys usage, and the cumulative number of hours allowed for all directors may not exceed 100 hours per year.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the directors did not utilize the company plane.  The Company intends to

include usage of its aircraft as taxable income as required by current U.S. federal income tax regulations for Mr. Crane and each director.  The U.S. federal income tax regulations also restrict the amount of corporate tax deductions for operating costs and tax depreciation attributable to personal use of the company plane.  The amount of non-deductible personal use expense is reduced by the imputed income recognized by the employee.



In the second quarter of 2006, the Company made a decision to sell the aircraft as it was not utilized to the extent anticipated when purchased.  The sale is expected to be completed by the end of 2006.  As of June 30, 2006, the Company had designated the aircraft as an asset held for sale.  The Company reclassified $11.4 million, which represents the net realizable value of the aircraft as of September 30, 2006, from property, plant and equipment to assets held for sale.  The Company recognized an impairment loss on the asset of $369,000, which is the difference of the carrying value of the asset and the net realizable value of the asset at September 30, 2006.  The asset held for sale is included in other assets, net on the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet.



Shared employees



Certain of the Companys employees also perform services for unaffiliated companies owned by Mr. Crane.  The Company is reimbursed for these services based upon an allocation percentage of total salaries agreed to by the Company and Mr. Crane.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company was reimbursed $45,000 and $110,000, respectively.  The Company received reimbursements of $14,000 and $9,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.  The amount billed but not received as of September 30, 2006 was $36,000 and is included in other receivables on the consolidated balance sheets.



Note 14  Subsequent events

On November 3, 2006, the Company sold a facility in the United Kingdom for $8.5 million and will recognize a gain on the sale of this asset of approximately $3.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2006.

Note 15  Business segment information

The Company is organized functionally in geographic operating segments.  Accordingly, management focuses its attention on revenues, net revenues, income before taxes, identifiable assets, capital expenditures and depreciation and amortization in each of these geographical divisions when evaluating the effectiveness of geographic management.

Revenues from transfers between divisions represent approximate amounts that would be charged if an unaffiliated company provided the services.  Revenues and expenses for geographic divisions include 100 percent of amounts for unconsolidated affiliates directly involved in freight forwarding activities.  Total divisional revenues are reconciled with total consolidated revenues by eliminating inter-divisional revenues and revenues and expenses for unconsolidated affiliates.  Income (loss) before taxes by geographic division includes profits (losses) on intercompany transactions.



Performance measurement and resource allocation for the reportable segments are based on many factors.  The primary financial measures used by management to evaluate the operating performance of the Companys segments include the revenues, costs and expenses directly controlled by each reportable segment and exclude the following:

-

certain costs related to general corporate functions and



-

interest and certain other miscellaneous nonoperating income and expenses not directly used in assessing the performance of the operating segments.

|        | RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                          



The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected selected aspects of the Companys financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the discussion under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the annual audited financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (File No. 0-27288).

Overview

The primary macroeconomic growth indicators of our business include general growth in the economy, international trade, particularly out of Asia, the level of high-tech spending and the increase in outsourcing of logistics projects.  Business drivers that we control and focus on internally are our ability to: (i) link transportation services with our logistics services, (ii) cross-sell our services to existing and prospective customers and (iii) collaborate with our customers to provide flexible, cost-effective and profitable supply chain solutions.

We achieved gross revenues of $833 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, a 6.8% increase over gross revenues of $780 million in the third quarter of 2005.  Net revenues increased $18.5 million, or 7.5%, to $265.5 million in the third quarter of 2006 compared to $247.0 million in the same quarter last year.  Operating income declined 8% to $30.2 million, as compared with the third quarter of 2005 due to the 7.5% increase in net revenues while operating expenses increased 10.0%.  Third quarter operating expenses increased faster than net revenues due to infrastructure investments made for certain logistics start-up operations in North America and expansion of existing operations in Asia Pacific.  We remain committed to leveraging our infrastructure by containing our operating expenses and improving our yield management in 2006.

Our results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the third quarter of 2006 reflect, among other things, the following:

Leveraging our global network.  In the third quarter of 2006, we continued to leverage our global network and our ability to cross-sell services in an effort to increase volumes through our service offerings in the geographic divisions we serve.  In addition, our balanced product offering enabled us to provide flexible solutions to our customers both domestically and internationally.

Continued focus on net revenue margins.  Gross revenues improved by 7% in the third quarter of 2006 as compared to the third quarter of 2005 reversing the temporary decline experienced in the second quarter as we continue to increase revenues with existing customers and win business from new customers.  Net revenue margins improved to 31.9% in the third quarter of 2006 from 31.7% in the third quarter of 2005.

Stock option repricing.  In response to recent publicity regarding stock option practices at other companies, management, under the direction and oversight of the Audit Committee, conducted an internal review of historical stock option grant practices and related accounting treatment.  Based upon this review, management and the Audit Committee determined that for certain stock option grants, mainly between 2000 and 2002, the measurement dates for accounting purposes were different from the recorded grant dates of the awards.  The examination has been completed and we have determined that the cumulative impact of the adjustments related to incorrect measurement dates resulted in an understatement of compensation expense of $2.1 million pre-tax.  We concluded that the impact of these adjustments to the years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 are not material to our consolidated financial statements and it has been recorded as a charge in personnel costs in the third quarter of 2006.  Management and the Audit Committee found no indication of intentional misconduct in the dating of stock options.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)







Income tax.  The tax rate for the third quarter of 2006 was 30.8% which includes the benefits related to the filing of prior year federal and foreign income tax returns, state tax refund claims and utilization of foreign net operating losses.

Cash flows from operations.  Cash flows from operations for the first nine months of 2006 were $71.7 million as compared to operating income of $78.6 million.

Global deployment of information technology systems.  In 2006, we continued the global deployment of our EGL Vision Suite of Technologies  Logistics Vision, Financial Vision and People Vision.  Logistics Vision is the freight forwarding system that allows a seamless flow of data across the globe, eliminating duplicate data entry on multiple systems.  Financial Vision is the Oracle-based financial system that allows global visibility of financial results, streamlined financial reporting and the ability to automate intercompany accounting and settlements.  People Vision is the Oracle-based human resources application that allows global visibility to employee tracking, training and development.  Management continues to believe that successful deployment of systems remains a critical component of improving operational efficiencies and effectively growing the business.

Our organization continues to focus on increasing net revenue growth across all product lines and increasing operating income in all geographic locations.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)







Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005



Revenues increased $95.0 million, or 4.2%, to $2,356.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2,261.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due to a $73.2 million increase in air freight forwarding revenues, a $16.9 million increase in ocean freight forwarding revenues and a $4.8 million increase in customs brokerage and other revenues.  Net revenues, which represent revenues less freight transportation costs, increased $55.4 million, or 7.9%, to $752.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $696.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases across all product lines.  Net revenue margins of 31.9% increased by 110 basis points from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to improvements in ocean freight forwarding and customs brokerage and other margins.

Air freight forwarding revenues.  Air freight forwarding revenues increased $73.2 million, or 5.0%, to $1,543.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $1,469.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to continuing volume increases in Asia/South Pacific and North America.

Air freight forwarding net revenues increased $15.1 million, or 3.7%, to $422.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $407.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases in Asia/South Pacific and North America.  Air freight forwarding margins decreased to 27.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 27.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 resulting from the pass through of rising fuel costs to our customers which increased gross revenues without corresponding increases in net revenues.

Ocean freight forwarding revenues.  Ocean freight forwarding revenues increased $16.9 million, or 5.1%, to $346.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $329.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to volume increases in Asia/South Pacific and Europe/Middle East as a result of our increased focus on the ocean market and our customers continued shift toward a lower cost deferred product.

Ocean freight forwarding net revenues increased $13.3 million, or 19.7%, to $80.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $67.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to increases in Asia/South Pacific and Europe/Middle East.  Ocean forwarding margins increased to 23.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 20.5% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from increases across all geographic divisions due to the introduction of more capacity by ocean carriers resulting in lower transportation costs.

Customs brokerage and other revenues.  Customs brokerage and other revenues, which include warehousing, distribution and other logistics services, increased $4.8 million, or 1.0% to $467.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $462.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Customs brokerage revenues decreased primarily due to a decline in Europe/Middle East and North America trade activity.  Warehousing and logistics revenues increased due to continued growth in Asia/South Pacific, North America and South America as a result of the addition of several new logistics projects, offset by a decline in Europe/Middle East.

Customs brokerage and other net revenues increased by $27.0 million, or 12.2%, to $248.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $221.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Customs brokerage and other margins increased to 53.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 48.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to new projects with higher margins in North America and Asia/South Pacific and disposition of several lower margin projects.

Personnel costs.  Personnel costs include all compensation expenses, including those relating to sales commissions and salaries and to headquarters employees and executive officers.  Personnel costs increased $28.0 million, or 7.2%, to $418.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $390.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  As a percentage of net revenues, personnel costs were 55.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 56.0% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to growth in net revenues offset somewhat by a 10% increase in headcount.  The increase in personnel costs was due primarily to stock-

based compensation expense resulting from the implementation of FAS 123R, the adjustment to correct our prior stock option grant practices, and increased temporary labor related to several new logistics projects in North America.  We implemented FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and incurred $7.8 million of stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $115,000 of stock-based compensation expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  In addition, we recorded $2.1 million of stock-based compensation related to our review of our option grant practices during the 1996 through 2005 fiscal years.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses.  Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10.7 million, or 4.4%, to $255.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $244.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase is primarily due to higher professional fees, facilities costs and insurance premiums and claims activity offset by decreased bad debt expense and depreciation.  As a percentage of net revenues, other selling, general and administrative expenses were 33.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 35.1% in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

EEOC legal settlement.  In February 2005, we recaptured $6.0 million of the $8.5 million previously held in a fund to resolve potential claims in connection with a 2001 consent decree with the EEOC, resulting primarily from a significantly lower number of qualified claimants than originally projected.

Nonoperating (income) expense, net.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, nonoperating expense, net, was $8.2 million compared to nonoperating income of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The $10.4 million change was due primarily to a $3.6 million increase in foreign exchange losses due to a weakening of the U.S. dollar particularly against Asian currencies and a $5.8 million increase in net interest expense.

Effective tax rate.The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 35.6% compared to 44.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Our effective tax rate decreased significantly due to benefits related to the reduction of nondeductible expenses, state tax refund claims and utilization of foreign net operating losses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared To Three Months Ended September 30, 2005



Revenues increased $53.2 million, or 6.8%, to $832.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $779.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases of $27.3 million in air freight forwarding revenues, $14.9 million in ocean freight forwarding revenues and $11.0 million in customs brokerage and other revenues.  Net revenues, which represent revenues less freight transportation costs, increased $18.5 million, or 7.5%, to $265.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $247.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to increases across all product lines.  Net revenue margins of 31.9% improved by 20 basis points from the third quarter of 2005 due to increased ocean freight forwarding and customs brokerage and other margins, offset by a decline in air freight forwarding margins.



Air freight forwarding revenues.  Air freight forwarding revenues increased $27.3 million, or 5.3%, to $543.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $516.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to increases in volumes in North America, Asia/South Pacific and Europe/Middle East.

Air freight forwarding net revenues increased $668,000, or 0.5%, to $146.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $145.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to an increase in North America, offset by a decrease in Europe/Middle East.  Air freight forwarding margins decreased to 26.9% in the

three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 28.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 resulting from the pass through of rising fuel costs to our customers which increased gross revenues without corresponding increases in net revenues.

Ocean freight forwarding revenues.  Ocean freight forwarding revenues increased $14.9 million, or 13.7%, to $123.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $108.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 due primarily to increases in Europe/Middle East and Asia/South Pacific.

Ocean freight forwarding net revenues increased $4.3 million, or 18.5%, to $27.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $23.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to increases in Asia/South Pacific and Europe/Middle East.  Ocean forwarding margins, increased to 22.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 21.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2005 from increases in Asia/South Pacific, South America and Europe/Middle East due to the introduction of more capacity by ocean carriers resulting in lower transportation costs.

Customs brokerage and other revenues.  Customs brokerage and other revenues, which include warehousing, distribution and other logistics services, increased $11.0 million, or 7.1%, to $165.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $154.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005.  Customs brokerage revenues increased primarily due to increases in Europe/Middle East and North America trade activity.  Warehousing and logistics revenues increased due to growth in North America and Asia/South Pacific, offset by a decline in Europe/Middle East.

Customs brokerage and other net revenues increased by $13.6 million, or 17.4%, to $91.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $78.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005.  Customs brokerage and other margins increased to 55.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 50.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 primarily due to new projects implemented in North America with higher margins.

Personnel costs.  Personnel costs include all compensation expenses, including those relating to sales commissions and salaries and to headquarters employees and executive officers.  Personnel costs increased $14.2 million, or 11.0%, to $143.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $129.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005.  As a percentage of net revenues, personnel costs were 54.1% in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 52.4% in the three months ended September 30, 2005, due to personnel costs increasing at a faster rate than net revenues.  The increase in personnel costs was due primarily to stock-based compensation expense resulting from the implementation of FAS 123R, the adjustment to correct our prior stock option grant practices, and increased temporary labor.  We implemented FAS 123R on January 1, 2006 and incurred $2.6 million of stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $22,000 of stock-based compensation expense in the three months ended September 30, 2005.  In addition, we recorded $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to our review of our stock option grant practices during the 1996 through 2005 fiscal years.  Temporary labor increased primarily due to new logistics projects in North America.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses.  Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.2 million or 8.5%, to $91.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $84.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase is primarily due to increased facility costs, professional fees, travel and entertainment expense, offset by a decrease in depreciation, communications costs and bad debt expense.  As a percentage of net revenues, other selling, general and administrative expenses were 34.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 34.2% in the three months ended September 30, 2005.

Nonoperating income (expense), net.  For the three months ended September 30, 2006, nonoperating expense, net, was $2.1 million compared to nonoperating income of $380,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  The $2.5 million change was primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in net interest expense.

Effective tax rate.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was 30.8% compared to 42.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  Our effective tax rate decreased significantly compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005 due to benefits related to the reduction of nondeductible expenses, state tax refund claims and utilization of foreign net operating losses.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations, fund working capital and make capital expenditures depends upon our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.  If we achieve significant near-term revenue growth, we may experience a need for increased working capital financing as a result of the difference between our collection cycles and the timing of our payments to vendors.  Historically, we have generated higher cash flow from operations in the first half of the year than the second half of the year, reflecting the seasonality of our business.

We make significant disbursements on behalf of our customers for transportation costs (primarily ocean) and customs duties for which the customer is the primary obligor.  The billings to customers for these disbursements, which are several times the amount of revenues and fees derived from these transactions, are not recorded as revenues and expense on our statement of income; rather, they are reflected in our trade receivables and trade payables.  Growth in the level of this activity or lengthening of the period of time between incurring these costs and being reimbursed by our customers for these costs may negatively affect our liquidity.

As primarily a non-asset based freight forwarder, we do not have significant capital expenditures that would be required of an asset based forwarder.  We believe our anticipated capital expenditures for 2006 will be in the range of $45 to $50 million, with a range of $32 to $37 million expected on information systems expenditures.  Our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $33.8 million.

Based on current plans, we believe that our existing capital resources, including $146.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $212.8 million of available borrowing capacity on our credit facility, will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements through September 30, 2007.  However, future changes in our business could cause us to consume available resources before that time.  Additionally, funds may not be available when needed and even if available, additional funds may be raised through financing arrangements and/or the issuance of preferred or common stock or convertible securities on terms and prices significantly more favorable than those of the currently outstanding common stock, which could have the effect of diluting or adversely affecting the holdings or rights of our existing stockholders.  If adequate funds are unavailable, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some of our operating activities, including, without limitation, the timing and extent of our marketing programs, and the extent and timing of hiring additional personnel.  We cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.

Cash flows from operating activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $71.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $165.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The decrease in cash flows from operating activities is primarily due to a net increase in changes from working capital, offset somewhat by an increase in net income.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, there was a $14.2 million net decrease in cash from changes in working capital, primarily due to a $49.1 million increase in trade receivables, and a $14.4 million increase in other assets and liabilities, offset by a $50.4 million increase in payables and other accrued liabilities.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, there was a $93.0 million net increase in working capital, primarily due to a $54.3 million increase in payables and other accrued liabilities, a $45.9 million decrease in trade receivables, due to improved collection efforts and a $1.2 million decrease in other receivables, offset by a $8.4 million increase in other assets and liabilities.

Cash flows from investing activities.  Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $31.3 million compared to $28.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  We incurred capital expenditures of $33.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to $33.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Capital expenditures in 2005 related primarily to the purchase of a corporate plane for $12.5 million.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we received $3.5 million from sales of property and equipment as compared to $761,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, $2.4 million was transferred to restricted cash, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, during which $5.0 million was transferred from restricted cash primarily as a result of the U.S. District Court order granting the recapture of $6.0 million of the Settlement Fund.  In connection with our acquisition of Miami International Forwarders in 2003 and the buyout of a minority interest partner in Thailand in 2001, we made earnout payments totaling $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we purchased a freight forwarding and customs brokerage operation in Colombia for $1.4 million, net of cash acquired and received $1.3 million from the sale of TDS Logistic, Inc.

Cash flows from financing activities.  Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $13.3 million compared to net cash used of $96.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 consists of $28.9 million in net repayments of debt, $3.5 million of repayment of financed insurance premiums and $1.5 million in payments of capital lease obligations, offset by $14.5 million in proceeds from the exercise of 634,000 stock options and $5.6 million in excess tax benefits from employee stock options.  The cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consists of $4.8 million in net repayments of debt, the repurchase of approximately 5.0 million shares of our outstanding common stock for $94.3 million, $2.3 million of repayment of financed insurance premiums, $1.5 million in payments of capital lease obligations and $1.1 million in payment of financing fees, offset by $6.2 million from the exercise of 337,000 stock options.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

We entered into an agreement dated as of September 30, 2005 establishing a $300 million, senior secured revolving credit facility (the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).  The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates our prior revolving credit agreement dated as of September 15, 2004, as previously amended (the Prior Credit Agreement).  The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is with a syndicate of 13 financial institutions with Bank of America, N.A., as lender and administrative agent and matures on September 30, 2010.

We may use borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for working capital, capital expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes, to make permitted acquisitions and investments, to pay dividends subject to certain limitations and to repurchase our common stock.

Amounts borrowed under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of our existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and secured equally and ratably by:

-

all of our present and future shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) each of our present and future subsidiaries (limited, in the case of certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries, to a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of such subsidiaries);



-

all of our and each of our domestic subsidiaries present and future property and assets; and



-

all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above.



Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement will bear interest initially at a rate per annum equal to either, at our option, (1) LIBOR plus 1.25% or (2) the Base Rate (defined as the higher of Bank of America, N.A.s prime rate or 0.50% over the Federal Funds rate).  In addition, we are required to pay a commitment fee of 0.30% on the undrawn amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  Interest rates and commitment fees under the

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)







Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are subject to increase or decrease as a function of the ratio of our Consolidated Net Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).  We may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR loans, subject to availability.  Interest will be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.

Under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we are subject to various covenants, including, among others, the following:

-

a requirement that we maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a ratio of Consolidated Net Funded Indebtedness to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2006, and decreasing to 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter;



-

a requirement that, on a rolling four-quarter basis, we have a ratio of Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Charges (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of at least 2.5 to 1.0 through December 31, 2006, and increasing to 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter;



-

a requirement that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, we have a ratio of book accounts receivable by us and our subsidiaries to Consolidated Net Funded Indebtedness (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) of at least 1.1 to 1.0; and



-

limitations on, among other things, liens indebtedness, asset sales, dividends and stock redemptions, investments and acquisitions, transactions with affiliates and consolidations, mergers and sales of all or a substantial part of our consolidated assets.



The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains events of default customary for an agreement of this type.  The occurrence of certain specified internal control events that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on us also constitutes an event of default under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.  If a default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent may, among other things, declare all outstanding principle amounts immediately due and payable.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains a $75 million sub-facility for letters of credit.  At September 30, 2006, we had borrowings of $72.9 million, $14.3 million in letters of credit outstanding and unused borrowing capacity of $212.8 million under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Note Purchase Agreement

On October 12, 2005, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the Note Purchase Agreement) providing for the issuance and sale of $100 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate, senior secured notes due October 12, 2012 (the Notes) to the purchasers named therein.  Banc of America Securities LLC acted as placement agent for this offering.  The issuance and sale of the Notes by us, and the resale of the Notes by Banc of America Securities LLC was made pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.

The Notes are guaranteed by all of our existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries and are secured by:

-

all of our present and future shares of capital stock of (or other ownership or profit interests in) each of our present and future subsidiaries (limited, in the case of certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries, to a pledge of 65% of the capital stock of such subsidiaries);



-

all of our and each of our domestic subsidiaries present and future property and assets; and



-

all proceeds and products of the property and assets described above.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)









The Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with our obligations under our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the obligations of our guarantor subsidiaries to guarantee our obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement rank pari passu in right of payment with their guarantees in respect of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Interest on the Notes will accrue at a floating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 1.65% for the applicable interest period. Interest periods are defined as the three month period commencing on the closing date and each successive three month period thereafter.  Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each interest period.

Under the Note Purchase Agreement, we are subject to various covenants, including, among others, the following:

-

a requirement that we maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a ratio of Consolidated Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not greater than 3.5 to 1.0;



-

a requirement that we maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a ratio of Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Interest Expense (each as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of at least 2.5 to 1.0;



-

a requirement that we have, at all times, a ratio of (x) book accounts receivable of the Company and certain subsidiaries to (y) Consolidated Net Debt (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of at least 1.1 to 1.0;



-

a requirement that we not, at any time, permit the aggregate amount of all Priority Debt (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to exceed 10% of its Consolidated Net Worth (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter; and



-

limitations on, among other things, liens asset sales, dividends and stock redemptions, investments and acquisitions, transactions with affiliates and consolidations and mergers.



The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary events of default.  If a default occurs and is continuing, the Notes then outstanding shall (either automatically or by declaration of the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding, depending upon the circumstances resulting in the default) become immediately due and payable.  If an event of default occurs and is continuing because we failed to pay principal, interest or other amounts due and payable on the Notes, then any Note holder may declare all of the Notes held by it to be immediately due and payable.

Capital expenditures.  We are in the process of developing and implementing computer system solutions for operational, human resources and financial systems.  Once placed into service, depreciation related to the systems is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the software.  As of September 30, 2006, $49.7 million of this software was under development and was not being depreciated.  Our expected capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2006 are approximately $45 to $50 million, including approximately $32 to $37 million for information technology development and upgrades.

Litigation.  We are party to routine litigation incidental to our business, which primarily involves other employment matters or claims for goods lost or damaged in transit or improperly shipped.  Many of the other lawsuits to which we are a party are covered by insurance and are being defended by our insurance carriers.  We have established accruals for these other matters and it is managements opinion that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.  However, a substantial settlement payment or judgment in excess of our accruals could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)







Federal income tax audit.  As discussed in note 11 of the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements, EGLs U.S. federal income tax returns from fiscal years 2000 to 2001 have been audited by the IRS with the case currently at the Appeals division for resolution.  The IRS has proposed, among other items, to disallow various merger transaction costs and various software research and development expenditures taken as tax deductions.  If the proposed adjustments are upheld, we would be required to pay a total of approximately $14 million in cash taxes, of which approximately $6.5 million would impact the consolidated statement of income, plus accrued interest of approximately $6.2 million through September 30, 2006.  We believe our U.S. federal income tax returns were completed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and do not believe material adjustments to our tax returns are probable.  However, there is no assurance that the final outcome will not result in material adjustments which would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As is common in our industry, we have entered into certain off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business that result in risks not directly reflected in our balance sheets.  Our significant off-balance sheet arrangements include liabilities associated with guarantees secured by letters of credit, surety bonds and security time deposits and non-cancelable operating leases.  We have not engaged in any off-balance sheet financing arrangements through special purpose entities.

Guarantees.  We guarantee certain financial liabilities, the majority of which relate to our freight forwarding operations.  In the normal course of our business, we are required to guarantee certain amounts related to customs bonds and services received from airlines.  These types of guarantees are usual and customary in the freight forwarding industry.  We operate as a customs broker and prepare and file all formal documentation required for clearance through customs agencies, obtain customs bonds, facilitate the payment of import duties on behalf of the importer and arrange for payment of collect freight charges.  We also assist the importer in obtaining the most advantageous commodity classifications, qualifying for duty drawback refunds and arranging for surety bonds.

We secure these guarantees primarily by three methods:  a $75 million standby letter of credit sub-facility included within our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, surety bonds and security time deposits.  Security time deposits are restricted as to withdrawal for a specified timeframe and are classified on our balance sheet as restricted cash.  As of September 30, 2006, we had $14.3 million in letters of credit outstanding.  We also issue IATA (International Air Transportation Association) related guarantees, customs bonds and letters of credit in the normal course of business.  IATA related guarantees and customs bonds are issued to facilitate the movement and clearance of freight.  Letters of credit include, but are not limited to, guarantees associated with insurance requirements and certain potential tax obligations.  Generally, guarantees have one-year or two-year terms and are renewed upon expiration.  As of September 30, 2006, total IATA related guarantees, customs bonds and letters of credit were approximately $90.7 million.  Approximately $73.1 million of guarantees, customs bonds and letters of credit were outstanding, including guarantees of our trade payables and accrued transportation costs and borrowings against our international credit facilities of $7.7 million, which were recorded as liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet.

Leases.  We enter into operating lease agreements, principally for freight operation facilities and office space.  These leases are non-cancelable and expire on various dates through 2025.  Certain of our lease agreements contain renewal options and rent escalation clauses.  These leases allow us to conserve cash by paying a monthly lease payment for use of facilities, rather than purchasing the facilities.  We may decide to cancel or terminate a lease before the end of its term due to excess capacity resulting from having multiple facilities in certain locations or changing business needs, in which case we typically are liable to the lessor for the remaining lease payments under the term of the lease.  We maintain facility accruals for remaining lease obligations under non-cancelable operating leases at domestic and international locations that we have vacated.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2006, there have not been any material changes in EGL's contractual obligations as presented in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Critical Accounting Policies



See note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and see note 1 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item I.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes in exposure to market risk from that discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains systems of disclosure controls and procedures designed to (1) ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, (2) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, as defined in Rules 13a - 15 (e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Exchange Act.  During the quarter the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.



During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

One former and two current independent contractor pickup and delivery (P&D) drivers filed a complaint in California state court on September 12, 2005, on behalf of themselves and similarly situated drivers in California alleging various causes of action based on their theory that the drivers are employees and not independent contractors.  The complaint requests (i) the matter be designated as a class action on behalf of all independent contractor P&D drivers working for EGL in California; (ii) a declaratory judgment that EGL has violated the law; (iii) an equitable accounting and an unspecified amount of damages; and (iv) restitution in the form of business expenses, unpaid overtime, meal period compensation, unlawful deductions from wages, statutory penalties, interest, attorneys fees and costs.  We removed the case to federal district court for the Northern District of California, and the parties have agreed to focus only on the individual claims of the three named defendants in the first phase of the proceedings.  In the event one or more of the plaintiffs claims survive the summary judgment phase, the next phase would focus on whether the action is maintainable as a class action.  We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit and believe that plaintiffs are properly classified as independent contractors.



In addition, we are party to routine litigation incidental to our business, which primarily involves employment matters or claims for goods lost or damaged in transit or improperly shipped.  Many of the other lawsuits to which we are a party are covered by insurance and are being defended by our insurance carriers.  We have established accruals for these other matters and it is managements opinion that resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.  However, a substantial settlement payment or judgment in excess of our accruals could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or cash flows.



ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Our results of operations could be adversely affected as a result of goodwill impairments.

When we acquire a business, we record an asset called goodwill equal to the excess amount we pay for the business, including liabilities assumed, over the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets of the business we acquire. Through December 31, 2001, pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, we amortized this goodwill over its estimated useful life of 40 years following the acquisition, which directly impacted our earnings. In September, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)



38

EGL, INC.







No. 142 which provides that effective at the beginning of the 2002 Fiscal Year, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives not be amortized, but instead must be tested at least annually for impairment, and intangible assets that have finite useful lives should continue to be amortized over their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 also provides specific guidance for testing goodwill and other non-amortized intangible assets for impairment. SFAS No. 142 requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions to allocate goodwill to our companys geographical divisions and to determine the fair value of the geographical divisions net assets and liabilities, including, among other things, an assessment of market conditions, projected cash flows, investment rates, cost of capital and growth rates, which could significantly impact the reported value of goodwill and other intangible assets. Fair value is determined using a combination of the discounted cash flow, market multiple and market capitalization valuation approaches. Absent any impairment indicators, we perform our impairment tests annually during the fourth quarter. Future impairments, if any, will be recognized as operating expenses.

We may not be successful in continuing to meet the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has introduced many requirements applicable to us regarding corporate governance and financial reporting, including the requirements, beginning with the Annual Report for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004, for management to report on our internal controls over financial reporting and for our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to this report. We continue actions to ensure our ability to comply with these requirements, including but not limited to, the engaging of outside experts to assist in the evaluation of our controls, adding staff to our internal audit department and documenting our existing controls. As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in complying in future years. Failure to maintain compliance could result in a decrease in the market value of our common stock and other publicly-traded securities, the reduced ability to obtain financing, the loss of customers, penalties and additional expenditures to meet the requirements.

We may not be successful in deploying our global IT infrastructure.

Global deployment of our logistics and sales information technology infrastructure is a critical component of our continued world-wide growth.  As we continue our deployment of these systems to our offices throughout the world during 2006, there is no certainty that the deployment will meet our internal timelines or be successful.  Our failure to successfully and timely deploy these information technology systems can adversely impact our operational efficiencies and could slow or prevent future growth.
