In most cases the value proposition for an on-demand service is wrapped up in the fact that the user or consumer of the service avoids a significant up-front  revenues. Generally, the Company's on-demand services provide higher gross margins than do scheduled distribution or fleet management services because driver compensation for on-demand services is generally lower as a percentage of sales from such services. However, scheduled distribution and fleet management services generally have fewer administrative requirements related to order taking, dispatching drivers and billing. As a result of these offsetting variances, the Company's EBITDA margins should not be materially impacted by business mix in any particular period. As the Company pursues new opportunities with national accounts, management anticipates that on-demand revenues will decrease as a percentage of total sales, and therefore that gross margin will decline over-time but EBITDA margins will not be materially impacted by the business mix.

EBITDA margin (adjusted for non-recurring expenses associated with the audit and systems conversions) declined slightly in the third quarter vs. year-to-date as a result of increased infrastructure expenses for technology, facilities and management. In addition to the slightly lower margin and the non-recurring expenses associated with the audit and systems conversions ($300,000 in Q3, $550,000 YTD), the earnings loss in the third quarter was worsened from approximately $425,000 of higher interest expense and bank fees ($250,000 from bank waiver The voluntary surrender of a known right; conduct supporting an inference that a particular right has been relinquished.

 basis, Total Same Branch Sales (revenue per day for operations owned during both periods) increased 4.9% and 4.1% over the prior year period for the year-to-date fiscal year 2000 and the third quarter, respectively. Excluding the effect of the change in exchange rates between the U.S. and Canada, Total Same Branch Sales increased 3.6% for the year-to-date and 3.1% in the third quarter.

In the Company's U.S. operations, Same Branch Sales increased 3.7% for the year-to-date fiscal year 2000 and 4.3% in the third quarter. Same Branch Sales in the Company's Canadian operations increased 7.2% and 3.9% in US dollars for the year-to-date and third quarter, respectively. The Canadian operations' growth was aided by favorable exchange rate changes year over year. Excluding this favorable exchange rate effect, Canadian Same Branch Sales increased 3.3% for the year-to-date and 0.8% in the third quarter. Consequently, the decrease in the consolidated growth rate in the third quarter resulted from lower growth in Canada somewhat offset by third quarter increase in the U.S. growth rate.

Management focuses on the Company's Core Same Branch Sales that excludes Transition Branches (the Canadian Prairies The Canadian prairies is a large area of flat sedimentary land stretching throughout western Canada between the Canadian Shield in the east and the Canadian Rockies. The Canadian prairies – the portion of the Great Plains landform that supports various grasses and shrubs , Boston, Hartford and Dallas) where the Company has experienced revenue growth and profitability challenges. The Transition Branches account for approximately 10% of the Company's revenues in the current year-to-date vs. 15% year-to-date in fiscal year 1999. Core Same Branch Sales increased 11.3% and 8.7% for the year-to-date and the third quarter, respectively. Excluding the favorable exchange rate effects, Core Same Branch Sales increased 10.0% for the year-to-date and 7.7% in the third quarter. Core Same Branch Sales in the Company's U.S. operations increased 11.2% year-to-date and 9.9% in the third quarter. Core Same Branch Sales in Canada increased 7.5% and 3.0% for the year-to-date and third quarter, respectively. Management believes Core Same Branch Sales is a more appropriate indicator of the Company's long-term growth and fiscal year 2001 growth prospects.

Rick McClelland's comments on growth were, "These core rates of growth are more in line with what we told our investors to expect, and I am pleased that we have been able to re-develop this revenue momentum despite the many distractions of the past year.

"I believe the growth rate supports these facts:

-- This an industry that is never going away and is growing 5-6%
