PART I
Statements and information presented within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for
CD&L, Inc. (the "Company", "CDL", or "we") include certain statements that may
be deemed to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A
of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") and Section 21E of the
Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to,
statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and other
statements contained in this report that are not historical facts. When used in
this report, the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes,"
"seeks" and "estimates" and similar expressions are generally intended to
identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain
assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and
perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future
developments and other factors it believes are appropriate in the circumstances.
Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties,
including the risk factors (Item 1. Business Description - Risk Factors)
discussed below, general economic and business conditions, the business
opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by the
Company, changes in law or regulations and other factors, many of which are
beyond the control of the Company. Readers are cautioned that any such
statements are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results or
developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly
qualified by these factors.
Item 1. Business Description.
Overview
We are one of the leading national full-service providers of customized,
time-critical, delivery services to a wide range of commercial, industrial,
retail and E-commerce based customers. Our services are provided throughout the
United States, but concentrated on the East Coast.
In conjunction with our initial public offering in November 1995 we acquired 11
time-critical ground and air delivery businesses that operated in 52 cities
across the United States. As of December 31, 2001, we had acquired 15 additional
time-critical ground and air delivery businesses. On March 30, 2001, we
consummated a transaction providing for the sale of certain assets and
liabilities of Sureway Air Traffic Corporation, Inc., our air delivery business.
The selling price for the net assets was approximately $14,150,000 and was
comprised of $11,650,000 in cash, a subordinated promissory note (the "Note
Receivable") for $2,500,000 and contingent cash payments based upon the ultimate
development of certain liabilities retained by us. The Note Receivable bears
interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, with interest only in monthly
installments. The entire balance of principal, plus all accrued interest, is due
and payable on March 30, 2006. As of December 31, 2001 collection of the Note
Receivable, interest accrued thereon and certain other related receivables was
in doubt. As such, the Company recorded a pretax charge in the fourth quarter of
2001 for $3,205,000 to write-off the Note Receivable, write-off certain other
direct expenses incurred on behalf of Sureway for which collection is in doubt
and to true-up certain accruals that were estimated in 2000 relative to the
disposition of Sureway. Collection efforts on all amounts due will continue.
Accordingly, the financial position, operating results and the provision for
loss on the disposition of the Company's air delivery business have been
segregated from continuing operations and reclassified as a discontinued
operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
-3-
We offer the following delivery services:
o rush delivery service, typically consisting of delivering
time-sensitive packages, such as critical machine parts or
emergency medical devices, from-point-to-point on an as-needed
basis;
o dedicated contract logistics, providing a comprehensive
solution to major corporations that want the control,
flexibility and image of an in-house fleet with all the
economic benefits of outsourcing;
o routed services, providing, on a recurring and often daily
basis, deliveries from pharmaceutical suppliers to pharmacies,
from manufacturers to retailers, and the inter-branch
distribution of financial documents in a commingled system;
and
o facilities management, including providing and supervising
mailroom personnel, mail and package sorting, internal
delivery and outside local messenger services.
Our Industry
The overall domestic ground delivery industry is composed largely of companies
that provide same-day, next-day and two-day delivery services. We primarily
service the same-day, time-critical delivery segment of that overall market. In
contrast, the next-day and two-day delivery market segments are dominated by
large national entities such as United Parcel Service, Inc., Federal Express
Corp. and the United States Postal Service.
We believe that the same-day delivery industry, which is currently serviced by a
fragmented system of approximately 10,000 companies that include only a small
number of large regional or national operators, is undergoing substantial growth
and consolidation. We believe that several factors, including the following, are
driving that growth and consolidation:
o Outsourcing and Vendor Consolidation. Commercial and industrial
businesses, which are major consumers of same-day delivery services,
have continued to follow the trend of concentrating on their core
business by outsourcing non-core activities. Businesses also are
increasingly seeking single-source solutions for their regional and
national same-day delivery needs rather than utilizing a number of
smaller, local delivery companies. At the same time, larger national
and international companies are looking toward decentralized
distribution systems. We believe that significant opportunities exist
for larger regional or national carriers that are able to provide a
full range of services to such businesses.
-4-
o Heightened Customer Expectations. Increasing customer demand for
specialized services such as customized billing, enhanced tracking,
storage, inventory management and just-in-time delivery capabilities
favor companies with greater resources to devote to providing those
services. The use of facsimile technology and the Internet have
increased the speed at which the processing of information and
transactions occur such that the requirements for immediate delivery of
a wide range of critical items has become commonplace. This practice
increases demand for same-day, time-critical delivery services.
o E-commerce Opportunities. The significant growth in
business-to-business and business-to-consumer customized and
time-critical services through E-commerce presents expansion
opportunities.
Our Services
We provide our customers with a full range of customized, time-critical delivery
service options.
Rush. In providing rush delivery services, or services on demand, our messengers
and drivers respond to customer requests for the immediate pick-up and delivery
of time-sensitive packages. We generally offer one-, two- and four-hour service,
on a 7-days-a-week, 24-hours-a-day basis. Our typical customers for rush service
include commercial and industrial companies, hospitals and service providers
such as accountants, lawyers, advertising and travel agencies and public
relations firms.
Scheduled. Our scheduled delivery services are provided on a recurring and often
daily basis. We typically pick up or receive large shipments of products, which
are then sorted, routed and delivered. These deliveries are made in accordance
with a customer's specific schedule that generally provides for deliveries to be
made at particular times. Typical routes may include deliveries from
pharmaceutical suppliers to pharmacies, from manufacturers to retailers, the
inter-branch distribution of financial documents, payroll data and other
time-critical documents for banks, financial institutions and insurance
companies. We also provide these services to large retailers for home delivery,
including large cosmetic companies, door-to-door retailers, catalog retailers,
home health care distributors and other direct sales companies.
Facilities Management. We provide mailroom management services, including the
provision and supervision of mailroom personnel, mail and package sorting,
internal delivery and outside local messenger services. Typical customers for
our facilities management services include commercial enterprises and
professional firms.
Dedicated Contract Logistics. We offer efficient and cost-effective dedicated
delivery solutions, such as fleet replacement solutions, dedicated delivery
systems and transportation systems management services. These services provide
major pharmaceutical wholesalers, office product companies and financial
institutions with the control, flexibility and image of an in-house fleet and
with all of the economic benefits of outsourcing.
-5-
Our Internal Operations
We operate from 67 leased facilities and 27 customer owned facilities in 21
states. The size of each facility varies, but typically includes dedicated
dispatch and order entry functions as well as delivery personnel. We accomplish
coordination and deployment of our delivery personnel either through
communications systems linked to our computers, through pagers, mobile data
units, or by radio or telephone. A dispatcher coordinates shipments for delivery
within a specific time frame. We route a shipment according to its type and
weight, the geographic distance between its origin and destination and the time
allotted for its delivery. In the case of scheduled deliveries, we design routes
to minimize the unit costs of the deliveries and to enhance route density. We
continue to deploy new hardware and software systems designed to enhance the
capture, routing, tracking and reporting of deliveries throughout our network.
To further improve customer service, we have begun to provide certain customers
the opportunity to access this information via the Internet. Full implementation
of our Internet portal is expected during 2002.
Sales and Marketing
We believe that a direct sales force most effectively reaches customers for
same-day, time-critical delivery services and, accordingly, we do not currently
engage in mass media advertising. We market directly to individual customers by
designing and offering customized service packages after determining their
specific delivery and distribution requirements. We are implementing a
coordinated major account strategy by building on established relationships with
regional and national customers. We also employ certain direct response
marketing techniques.
Many of the services we provide, such as facilities management, dedicated
contract logistics and routed delivery services are determined on the basis of
competitive bids. However, we believe that quality and service capabilities are
also important competitive factors. In certain instances, we have obtained
business by offering a superior level of service, even though we were not the
low bidder for a particular contract. We derive a substantial portion of our
revenues from customers with whom we have entered into contracts. Virtually all
of the scheduled dedicated vehicle and facilities management services that we
provide are pursuant to contracts.
Competition
The market for our delivery services is highly competitive. We believe that the
principal competitive factors in the markets in which we compete are
reliability, quality, breadth of service offerings, technology and price. We
compete on all of those factors. Most of our competitors in the time-critical
delivery market are privately held companies that operate in only one location
or within a limited service area. In addition to our time-critical delivery
services, customers also utilize next-day and second-day services. The market
for next-day and second-day services is dominated by nationwide network
providers, which have built large, capital-intensive distribution channels that
allow them to process a high volume of materials. These companies typically have
fixed deadlines for next-day or second-day delivery services. By contrast, we
specialize in on-demand deliveries or services which, by their nature, are not
governed by rigid time schedules. If one of our customers is unable to meet a
network provider's established deadline, we can pick up the shipment on-demand
and deliver it, in some cases, before the network provider's scheduled delivery
time. Our services are available 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week.
-6-
Acquisitions and Sales of Businesses
We were formed as a Delaware corporation in June 1994. As of December 31, 2001,
we had acquired 26 same-day time-critical delivery businesses, including the 11
companies that we acquired simultaneously with the commencement of our
operations in November 1995. We paid approximately $67,800,000 ($29,600,000 in
cash and 2,935,702 shares of our common stock) to acquire the 11 founding
companies. In addition to the acquisition of those companies, we acquired
certain additional assets from two companies in transactions that we accounted
for as purchases. Those acquired assets were not material.
In 1996, we acquired five additional businesses that had approximately
$15,600,000 in aggregate annual revenues. We paid approximately $3,300,000 to
acquire those companies using a combination of cash, seller-financed debt and
shares of our common stock. Subsequently, the aggregate purchase price paid for
those companies was reduced by approximately $616,000 because the actual
revenues of some of the acquired companies did not reach the revenues projected
by the sellers. We accounted for each of the 1996 acquisitions as purchases.
In 1997, we did not make any acquisitions and instead focused on internal
growth. Consistent with our change of strategic focus, in January 1997 we sold
our contract logistics subsidiary back to its founder in exchange for 137,239
shares of our common stock. In connection with that sale, we recorded a gain of
approximately $816,000 before the effect of Federal and state income taxes.
In December 1997, we sold our direct mail business for $850,000 in cash and
notes. In connection with that sale, we recorded a gain of approximately $23,000
net of Federal and state income taxes of approximately $15,000. Subsequently, in
1999 the company to which we sold our direct mail business went out of business
and defaulted on their note and the Company wrote off the remaining balance of
the note of $661,868.
In 1998, we acquired four same-day, time-critical delivery businesses that had
aggregate annual revenues of approximately $25,100,000. We paid approximately
$14,500,000 for the businesses consisting of a combination of cash, shares of
our common stock, and seller-financed debt. We accounted for each of the 1998
acquisitions as purchases.
In 1999, we acquired four same-day, time critical delivery businesses that had
aggregate annual revenues of approximately $24,800,000. We paid approximately
$12,700,000 for the businesses consisting of a combination of cash, shares of
our common stock and seller-financed debt. The acquisitions were accounted for
as purchase transactions. Under the terms of the purchase agreements, additional
payments of approximately $600,000 were made in 2000 and 2001 upon the
accomplishment of certain financial objectives.
-7-
On December 1, 2000, we made a strategic decision to dispose of our air delivery
business and accordingly have restated the accompanying balance sheets,
statements of operations and statements of cash flows to reflect such as
discontinued operations. On March 30, 2001, we consummated a transaction
providing for the sale of certain assets and liabilities of Sureway Air Traffic
Corporation, Inc., our air delivery business. The selling price for the net
assets was approximately $14,150,000 and was comprised of $11,650,000 in cash, a
subordinated promissory note (the "Note Receivable") for $2,500,000 and
contingent cash payments based upon the ultimate development of certain
liabilities retained by us. The Note Receivable bears interest at the rate of
10.0% per annum, with interest only in monthly installments. The entire balance
of principal, plus all accrued interest, is due and payable on March 30, 2006.
As of December 31, 2001 collection of the Note Receivable, interest accrued
thereon and certain other related receivables was in doubt. As such, the Company
recorded a pretax charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 for $3,205,000 to
write-off the Note Receivable, write-off certain other direct expenses incurred
on behalf of Sureway for which collection is in doubt and to true-up certain
accruals that were estimated in 2000 relative to the disposition of Sureway.
Collection efforts on all amounts due will continue. As a result of this
transaction and the subsequent adjustments to the Note Receivable and other
liabilities retained by us, provisions for losses on the disposition of the
Company's air delivery business have been provided in the amounts of $2,305,000
and $2,807,000 (net of benefit for income taxes of $900,000 and $125,000,
respectively) for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
On June 14, 2001, the Company consummated a transaction providing for the sale
of all the outstanding stock of National Express, Inc., the Company's Mid-West
Region subsidiary. The selling price was approximately $2,530,000 and was
comprised of $880,000 in cash and a subordinated promissory note (the
"Promissory Note") for $1,650,000. The Promissory Note bears interest at the
rate of 7.0% per annum. The Promissory Note is payable in seventeen equal
quarterly installments beginning March 14, 2002 and continuing through March 14,
2006 and a final balloon payment of approximately $1,100,000 on June 14, 2006.
As a result of the transaction, the Company recorded a $2,283,000 loss on the
sale with no related tax benefit.
Regulation
Our delivery operations are subject to various state and local regulations and,
in many instances, we require permits and licenses from state authorities. To a
limited degree, state and local authorities have the power to regulate the
delivery of certain types of shipments and operations within certain geographic
areas. Interstate and intrastate motor carrier operations are also subject to
safety requirements prescribed by the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT")
and by state departments of transportation. If we fail to comply with applicable
regulations, we could face substantial fines or possible revocation of one or
more of our operating permits.
Safety
We seek to ensure that all of our employee drivers meet safety standards
established by us and our insurance carriers as well as the U.S. DOT. In
addition, where required by the DOT, state or local authorities, we require that
our independent owner/operators meet certain specified safety standards. We
review prospective drivers in an effort to ensure that they meet applicable
requirements.
-8-
Employees and Independent Contractors
As of December 31, 2001, we employed approximately 1,940 people, 1,287 as
drivers or messengers, 464 in operations, 140 in clerical and administrative
positions, 26 in sales, 16 in information technology and 7 in executive
management. We are not a party to any collective bargaining agreements. We also
had agreements with approximately 1,700 independent contractor drivers as of
December 31, 2001. We have not experienced any work stoppages and believe that
our relationship with our employees and independent contractor drivers is good.
Risk Factors
You should carefully consider the following factors as well as the other
information in this report before deciding to invest in shares of our common
stock.
We have limited capital resources.
As of December 31, 2001, we had total cash on hand and borrowing ability of
$2,200,000 under our revolving credit facility, after adjusting for the
restrictions for outstanding letters of credit and minimum availability
requirements. While we believe that cash flows from operations, together with
our recently amended borrowing facilities are sufficient to meet our liquidity
needs for the foreseeable future, no assurances can be given that cash flows
from operations will be satisfactory, that we will be able to satisfy all terms
and covenants of our lending arrangements and/or that additional borrowing
capacity will be available, if required. Our revolving credit facility, as
amended, expires on January 31, 2003. We are currently in negotiations with two
financial institutions for a replacement credit facility. No assurances can be
given that such negotiations will result in adequate replacement financing or
that we will be able to renew our existing facility.
Price competition could reduce the demand for our service.
The market for our services has been extremely competitive and is expected to be
so for the foreseeable future. Price competition is often intense, particularly
in the market for basic delivery services where barriers to entry are low.
Claims above our insurance limits, or significant increases in our insurance
premiums, may reduce our profitability.
We utilize the services of approximately 720 employee drivers. From time to time
some of those drivers are involved in automobile accidents. We currently carry
liability insurance of $1,000,000 for each driver accident, subject to
applicable deductibles (generally $250,000 per occurrence) and carry umbrella
coverage up to $10,000,000 in the aggregate. However, claims against us may
exceed the amounts of our insurance coverage. If we were to experience a
material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents, liability claims or
workers' compensation claims, or unfavorable resolutions of claims, our
operating results could be materially affected.
-9-
As a same-day delivery company, our ability to service our clients effectively
is often dependent upon factors beyond our control.
Our revenues and earnings are especially sensitive to events that are beyond our
control that affect the same-day delivery services industry, including:
o extreme weather conditions;
o economic factors affecting our significant customers;
o mergers and consolidations of existing customers;
o fluctuations in fuel prices; and
o shortages of labor, mainly drivers and messengers.
In addition, demand for our same-day delivery services may decrease
as a result of downturns in the level of general economic activity
and employment.
Our reputation will be harmed, and we could lose customers, if the information
and telecommunications technologies on which we rely fail to adequately perform.
Our business depends upon a number of different information and
telecommunication technologies as well as the ability to develop and implement
new technology enabling us to manage and process a high volume of transactions
accurately and timely. Any impairment of our ability to process transactions in
this way could result in the loss of customers and diminish our reputation.
Governmental regulation of the transportation industry, particularly with
respect to our independent contractors, may substantially increase our operating
expenses.
From time to time, federal and state authorities have sought to assert that
independent contractors in the transportation industry, including those utilized
by us, are employees rather than independent contractors. We believe that the
independent contractors that we utilize are not employees under existing
interpretations of federal and state laws. However, federal and state
authorities have and may continue to challenge this position. Further, laws and
regulations, including tax laws, and the interpretations of those laws and
regulations, may change. If, as a result of changes in laws, regulations,
interpretations or enforcement by federal or state authorities, we become
required to pay for and administer added benefits to independent contractors,
our operating costs could substantially increase.
Shareholders will experience dilution when we issue the additional shares of
common stock that we are permitted or required to issue under convertible notes,
options and warrants.
-10-
We are permitted, and in some cases obligated, to issue shares of common stock
in addition to the common stock that is currently outstanding. If and when we
issue these shares, the percentage of the common stock currently issued and
outstanding will be diluted. The following is a summary of additional shares of
common stock that we have currently reserved for issuance as of December 31,
2001:
o 506,250 shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at
an exercise price of $.001 per share.
o 3,625,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of options or other
benefits under our employee stock option plan, consisting of:
o outstanding options to purchase 1,846,216 shares at a weighted
average exercise price of $3.30 per share, of which options
covering 1,587,872 shares were exercisable as of December 31,
2001; and
o 1,778,784 shares available for future awards after December 31,
2001.
o 100,000 shares are issuable upon the exercise of options or other
benefits under our independent director stock option plan, consisting
of:
o outstanding options to purchase 97,500 shares at a weighted
average exercise price of $2.28 per share, of which options
covering 97,500 shares were exercisable as of December 31, 2001;
and
o 2,500 shares available for future awards after December 31,
2001.
o 524,961 shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding convertible
notes at a weighted average exercise price of $6.54 per share.
Our success is dependent on the continued service of our key management
personnel.
Our future success depends, in part, on the continued service of our key
management personnel. If certain employees, including those individuals
identified to leading the product-driven groups were unable or unwilling to
continue in their present positions, our business, financial condition,
operating results and future prospects could be materially adversely affected.
If we fail to maintain our governmental permits and licenses, we may be subject
to substantial fines and possible revocation of our authority to operate our
business in certain jurisdictions.
-11-
Our delivery operations are subject to various state, local and federal
regulations that in many instances require permits and licenses. If we fail to
maintain required permits or licenses, or to comply with applicable regulations,
we could be subject to substantial fines or our authority to operate our
business in certain jurisdictions could be revoked.
Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws, shareholder rights plan and Delaware
law contain provisions that could discourage a takeover that current
shareholders may consider favorable.
Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and our shareholder
rights plan, as well as Delaware law, may discourage, delay or prevent a merger
or acquisition that you may consider favorable. These provisions of our
certificate of incorporation and by-laws:
o establish a classified board of directors in which only a
portion of the total number of directors will be elected at
each annual meeting;
o authorize the board to issue preferred stock;
o prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors;
o limit the persons who may call special meetings of
stockholders;
o prohibit stockholder action by written consent; and
o establish advance notice requirements for nominations for
the election of the board of directors or for proposing
matters that can be acted on by stockholders at
stockholder meetings.
In addition, we have adopted a Stockholder Protection Rights Plan in order to
protect against offers to acquire us that our Board of Directors believe to be
inadequate or not otherwise in our best interests. There are, however, certain
possible disadvantages to having the Plan in place, which might adversely impact
us. The existence of the Plan may limit our flexibility in dealing with
potential acquirers in certain circumstances and may deter potential acquirers
from approaching us.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In February 1996, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") filed an
action against Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a subsidiary of
the Company, Mr. Vincent Brana, an employee of the Company, and certain other
parties in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. Under the terms of its acquisition of Securities, the Company had certain
rights to indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the
indemnification, Mr. Brana has entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed
a Promissory Note in such amount as may be due for any defense costs or award
arising out of this suit. Mr. Brana has agreed to repay the Company on December
1, 2002, together with interest calculated at a rate per annum equal to the rate
charged the Company by its senior lender. Mr. Brana delivered 357,301 shares of
CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the note. On September 8,
2000 the parties entered into a settlement agreement in which Securities and Mr.
Brana agreed to pay Liberty Mutual $1,300,000. An initial payment of $650,000
was made by Securities on October 16, 2000, $325,000 plus interest at a rate of
10.5% per annum was paid in monthly installments ending July 1, 2001 and
$325,000 plus interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum is due in monthly
installments ending July 1, 2002.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000 the Company had a receivable due from Mr. Brana
totaling $2,800,000 and $2,908,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2000,
considering the market value of the collateral and Mr. Brana's failure to update
and provide satisfactory evidence to support his ability to pay the promissory
note, the Company recorded a $2,500,000 reserve against the receivable.
Recently, Mr. Brana has disputed his obligation to satisfy the amounts when they
are due.
The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal
course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal injury and
property damage incurred in connection with its same-day delivery operations. In
connection therewith, the Company has recorded reserves of $575,000 and $455,000
as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Management believes that none of these actions, including the action described
above, will have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position or results of operations of the Company.

of Operations
Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements.
The Company is provided a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements contained
in this report by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
Company may discuss forward looking information in this Report such as its
expectations for future performance, growth and acquisition strategies,
liquidity and capital needs and its future prospects. Actual results may not
necessarily develop as the Company anticipates due to many factors including,
but not limited to the timing of certain transactions, unexpected expenses
encountered, the effect of economic and market conditions, the impact of
competition and the factors listed in Item 1. Business Description - Risk
Factors. Because of these and other reasons, the Company's actual results may
vary materially from management's current expectations.
Overview
The consolidated financial statements of the Company including all related
notes, which appear elsewhere in this report, should be read in conjunction with
this discussion of the Company's results of operations and its liquidity and
capital resources.
Discontinued Operations
On December 1, 2000, we made a strategic decision to dispose of our air delivery
business and accordingly have restated the accompanying balance sheets,
statements of operations and statements of cash flows to reflect such as
discontinued operations. On March 30, 2001, we consummated a transaction
providing for the sale of certain assets and liabilities of Sureway Air Traffic
Corporation, Inc. ("Sureway"), our air delivery business. The selling price for
the net assets was approximately $14,150,000 and was comprised of $11,650,000 in
cash, a subordinated promissory note (the "Note Receivable") for $2,500,000 and
contingent cash payments based upon the ultimate development of certain
liabilities retained by us. The Note Receivable bears interest at the rate of
10.0% per annum, with interest only in monthly installments. The entire balance
of principal, plus all accrued interest, is due and payable on March 30, 2006.
As of December 31, 2001 collection of the Note Receivable, interest accrued
thereon and certain other related receivables was in doubt. As such, the Company
recorded a pretax charge in the fourth quarter of 2001 for $3,205,000 to
write-off the Note Receivable, write-off certain other direct expenses incurred
on behalf of Sureway for which collection is in doubt and to true-up certain
accruals that were estimated in 2000 relative to the disposition of Sureway.
Collection efforts on all amounts due will continue. As a result of this
transaction and the subsequent adjustments to the Note Receivable and other
liabilities retained by us, provisions for losses on the disposition of the
Company's air delivery business have been provided in the amounts of $2,305,000
and $2,807,000 (net of benefit for income taxes of $900,000 and $125,000,
respectively) for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
-18-
The Company reported net losses of $2,305,000 and $1,419,000 from discontinued
operations for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively
(including provisions for losses on the disposition of the assets of Company's
air delivery business, net of tax of $2,305,000 and $2,807,000, respectively)
and $1,961,000 income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the year
ended December 31, 1999.
Results of Operations 2001 Compared with 2000
The following discussion compares the year ended December 31, 2001 and the year
ended December 31, 2000, for continuing operations.
Income and Expense as a Percentage of Revenue
For the Years Ended
December 31,
-------------------
2001 2000
---- ----
Revenue 100.0% 100.0%
Gross profit 20.4% 20.3%
Selling, general and
administrative expenses 16.8% 20.0%
Goodwill Impairment 2.1% 0.0%
Depreciation and amortization 1.5% 2.0%
Operating loss (0.0)% (1.7)%
Interest expense 1.8% 1.8%
Loss from continuing operations (2.5)% (3.7)%
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 decreased $9,535,000,
or 5.6%, to $160,544,000 from $170,079,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000.
The decrease included approximately $4,500,000 in lost revenue due to the sale
of the Company's Mid-West Region operations on June 14, 2001. The balance of the
decrease in revenue is due to the Company's ongoing efforts to increase its
profit margins and eliminate less profitable business. As a result of a
portfolio review, contracts with certain customers that had unacceptable profit
margins were given notice of rate increases. If the rate increases were not
accepted, the contracts were terminated. This revenue loss was partially offset
by the effect of fuel surcharges and price increases implemented throughout 2000
that remained in effect for 2001.
Cost of revenue consists primarily of payments to employee drivers and
independent contractors, agents, other direct pick-up and delivery costs and the
costs of dispatching drivers and messengers. These costs decreased $7,776,000,
or 5.7%, from $135,616,000 for 2000 to $127,840,000 in 2001. Stated as a
percentage of revenue, these costs were flat, amounting to 79.6% for 2001 and
79.7% for 2000. This reflects the impact of a reduction in vehicle operating and
insurance costs partially offset by higher labor costs. The decrease in
insurance costs was primarily attributable to decreased medical, workers'
compensation and auto liability claims. The increased labor costs, as a
percentage of revenue, were partially attributable to the effect of the
September 11, 2001 events on the Company's New York City operations. The
elimination of less profitable business and better utilization of direct labor
have contributed to increased gross profit margins in other areas of the Company
where a slowing economy has helped in recruiting and retaining reliable couriers
and subcontractors at reasonable costs.
-19-
As a result of the above, gross profit decreased by $1,759,000, from $34,463,000
in 2000 to $32,704,000 in 2001. As a percentage of revenue gross profit was
consistent, and amounted to 20.4% in 2001 and 20.3% in 2000.
Selling, general and administrative expense ("SG&A") includes costs incurred at
the terminal level related to taking orders and administrative costs related to
such functions. Also included are costs to support the Company's marketing and
sales effort and the expense of maintaining information systems, human
resources, financial, legal and other corporate administrative functions. SG&A
decreased by $7,097,000, or 20.9%, from $33,978,000 in 2000 to $26,881,000 in
2001. As a percentage of revenue SG&A decreased to 16.8% in 2001 compared to
20.0% of revenue in 2000. SG&A expense was favorably impacted by decreases in
payroll costs, medical insurance claims, telecommunications costs, professional
fees, facilities rental costs, and bad debt expense. The decrease in such costs
is due primarily to both the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce and better
control such costs and certain non-recurring items recorded during 2000,
primarily the bad debt expense related to the bankruptcy of a significant
customer. Additionally, the sale of the Mid-West Region operations reduced SG&A
by approximately $1,000,000.
Goodwill impairment for 2001 was $3,349,000 compared to $0 for 2000. The charge
taken in 2001 was the result of a comprehensive review of the Company's
intangible assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). As a result of recording
significant losses on the dispositions of Sureway and the Mid-West Region and as
a result of inadequate cash flows from certain acquired businesses due to the
loss of customers, the Company determined that the carrying amount of certain
assets might not be fully recoverable. The measurement of impairment losses
recognized in 2001 is based on the difference between the fair values, which
were calculated based upon the present value of projected future cash flows, and
the carrying amounts of the assets.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $879,000, or 26.2%, from $3,355,000
for 2000 to $2,476,000 for 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
full depreciation of certain vehicles held under a capital lease that ended
during 2000 and reduced capital expenditures in 2000 and 2001.
As a result of the above, operating loss decreased to a loss of ($2,000) for the
year ended December 31, 2001 compared to a loss of ($2,870,000) for the year
ended December 31, 2000. The operating loss was (0.0%) of revenue for the year
ended December 31, 2001 compared to an operating loss of (1.7%) of revenue for
the year ended December 31, 2000.
-20-
Interest expense decreased by $163,000 from $3,060,000 in 2000 to $2,897,000 in
2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased borrowings on the
Company's revolving line of credit as a result of the sales of Sureway and the
Mid-West Region operations, partially offset by an increase in the interest
rates paid on the seller-financed debt from acquisitions.
Other expense decreased by $253,000, to $2,185,000 in 2001 from $2,438,000 in
2000. The 2001 loss is primarily due to the Company selling all the outstanding
stock in National Express, Inc. on June 14, 2001. The selling price was
approximately $2,530,000 and was comprised of $880,000 in cash and a
subordinated promissory note (the "Promissory Note") for $1,650,000. The
Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 7.0% per annum. The Promissory
Note is payable in seventeen equal quarterly installments beginning March 14,
2002 and continuing through March 14, 2006 and a final balloon payment of
approximately $1,100,000 on June 14, 2006. As a result of the transaction, the
Company recorded a $2,283,000 loss on the sale. The 2000 loss is primarily as a
result of recording a reserve related to a note receivable from a stockholder
related to the Company's funding of litigation defense and settlement expenses
in connection with the action filed by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company against
Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a subsidiary of the Company, and
Mr. Vincent Brana, an employee of the Company. Under the terms of its
acquisition of Securities, the Company has certain rights to indemnification
from Mr. Brana. In connection with the indemnification, Mr. Brana has entered
into a settlement agreement and executed a Promissory Note due and payable on
December 1, 2002. Mr. Brana has delivered 357,301 shares of CD&L common stock to
the Company as collateral for the note. Considering the market value of the
collateral and Mr. Brana's failure to update and provide satisfactory evidence
to support his ability to pay the note when due, the Company recorded a
$2,500,000 reserve against the note receivable.
Benefit for income taxes decreased by $1,019,000 from a benefit for income taxes
of $2,139,000 in 2000 to a benefit for income taxes of $1,120,000 in 2001. The
decrease was caused by the decrease in pre-tax loss in 2001 and the recording of
a non-deductible $2,283,000 loss on the sale of the stock of National Express,
Inc., the Company's Mid-West Region subsidiary, on June 14, 2001, partially
offset by the recording in 2000 of a $1,000,000 valuation allowance against the
deferred tax assets recorded by the Company.
Results of Operations 2000 Compared with 1999
The following discussion compares the year ended December 31, 2000 and the year
ended December 31, 1999, for continuing operations.
-21-
Income and Expense as a Percentage of Revenue
For the Years Ended
December 31,
-------------------
2000 1999
---- ----
Revenue 100.0% 100.0%
Gross profit 20.3% 22.2%
Selling, general and
administrative expenses 20.0% 17.1%
Depreciation and amortization 2.0% 2.3%
Operating (loss) income (1.7)% 2.8%
Interest expense 1.8% 1.7%
(Loss) income from continuing
operations (3.7)% 0.6%
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased
$11,699,000, or 7.4%, to $170,079,000 from $158,380,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1999.
The increase included $2,978,000 contributed by the businesses acquired in 1999
as well as increased sales from the Company's existing operations.
Cost of revenue consists primarily of payments to employee drivers and
independent contractors, agents, other direct pick-up and delivery costs and the
costs of dispatching drivers and messengers. These costs increased $12,411,000,
or 10.1%, from $123,205,000 for 1999 to $135,616,000 in 2000. Stated as a
percentage of revenue, these costs increased to 79.7% for 2000 from 77.8% for
1999. This increase reflects the impact of higher insurance, facilities, vehicle
and labor costs offset, partially, by a reclassification of $2,400,000 in
administrative salaries and benefits previous considered a component of cost of
revenue to selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in
insurance costs was primarily attributable to increased medical, workers'
compensation and auto liability claims. Additionally, the expense related to
unreported claims increased as a result of the increase in the reserve for
claims that have been incurred but not yet reported. The increase in facilities
costs includes the impact of opening 11 new facilities and the closing of 16
facilities during the year.
As a result of the above, gross profit decreased by $712,000, from $35,175,000
in 1999 to $34,463,000 in 2000. As a percentage of revenue gross profit
decreased to 20.3% in 2000 compared to 22.2% of revenue in 1999.
-22-
SG&A includes costs incurred at the terminal level related to taking orders and
administrative costs related to such functions. Also included are costs to
support the Company's marketing and sales effort and the expense of maintaining
information systems, human resources, financial, legal and other corporate
administrative functions. SG&A increased by $6,855,000, or 25.3%, from
$27,123,000 in 1999 to $33,978,000 in 2000. As a percentage of revenue SG&A
increased to 20.0% in 2000 compared to 17.1% of revenue in 1999. In addition to
the $2,400,000 reclassification from cost of revenue, SG&A expense was
unfavorably impacted by increases in medical insurance claims, bad debt expense
related to the bankruptcy of a significant customer, professional fees,
administrative costs of the companies acquired in 1999, legal expenses and
acquisition and merger related expenses.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $317,000, or 8.6%, from $3,672,000
for 1999 to $3,355,000 for 2000. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
full depreciation of certain vehicles held under a capital lease that ended
during 2000. Replacement vehicles under a similar capital lease were not
received until January 2001.
As a result of the above, operating (loss) income decreased to a loss of
($2,870,000) for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to income of
$4,380,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999. The operating loss was (1.7%)
of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 compared to operating income of
2.8% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1999.
Interest expense increased by $329,000 from $2,731,000 in 1999 to $3,060,000 in
2000. The increase is primarily attributable to increased borrowings on the
Company's revolving line of credit and an increase in interest rates.
Other expense increased by $2,358,000, to $2,438,000, primarily as a result of
recording a reserve related to a note receivable from a stockholder related to
the Company's funding of litigation defense and settlement expenses in
connection with the action filed by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company against
Securities, a subsidiary of the Company, and Mr. Vincent Brana, an employee of
the Company. Under the terms of its acquisition of Securities, the Company has
certain rights to indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the
indemnification, Mr. Brana has entered into a settlement agreement and executed
a Promissory Note due and payable on December 1, 2002. Mr. Brana has delivered
357,301 shares of CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the note.
Considering the current market value of the collateral and Mr. Brana's failure
to update and provide satisfactory evidence to support his ability to pay the
note when due, the Company has recorded a $2,500,000 reserve against the
$2,908,000 note receivable.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes decreased by $2,758,000 from a provision
for income taxes of $619,000 in 1999 to a (benefit) for income taxes of
($2,139,000) in 2000. The decrease was caused by the decrease in pre-tax income
to a pre-tax loss in 2000 of ($8,368,000), partially offset by the recording of
a $1,000,000 valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets recorded by the
Company.

The Company's working capital increased by $8,353,000 from a deficit of
($3,430,000) as of December 31, 2000 to $4,923,000 as of December 31, 2001. The
increase is a result of the sales of Sureway and the Mid-West Region and the use
of the proceeds to pay down short-term borrowings and the refinancing of certain
of the notes issued to sellers in connection with the acquisitions consummated
in 1998 and 1999.
Cash and cash equivalents increased slightly during 2001. Cash of $3,942,000 was
provided from operations and $12,420,000 was provided by investing activities
due to the sales of Sureway and the Mid-West Region, while $14,177,000 was used
by net financing activities to pay down debt. Cash used by the discontinued
operations was $1,339,000.
Capital expenditures amounted to $333,000, $859,000 and $746,000 for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenditures
primarily upgraded and expanded computer system capability, expanded and
improved Company facilities in the ordinary course of business and upgraded the
Company fleet.
Outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility were $0 and
$7,080,644 was outstanding in Standby Letters of Credit as of December 31, 2001.
The Company also had $13,750,000 in principal outstanding under its 12% Senior
Subordinated Notes ($13,012,000 net of unamortized discount). The Company also
had $614,000 of capital lease obligations and various equipment notes, $192,000
of debt related to litigation settlements and $6,777,000 of seller financed
debt. The Company had total cash on hand of $1,165,000 and borrowing ability of
$1,100,000 under the revolving credit facility, after adjusting for the
restrictions for outstanding letters of credit and minimum availability
requirements, as of December 31, 2001.
During 2001 and 2000, the Company has had liquidity difficulties and has had to
renegotiate certain covenants and terms of its revolving credit facility, senior
subordinated notes and seller notes, including during the first quarter of 2002.
This is further discussed in Note 9. Additionally, the Company has an
accumulated deficit of ($9,114,000) as of December 31, 2001. The Company's
amended revolving credit facility with First Union expires on January 31, 2003.
There can be no assurances that the Company's lenders will agree to waive any
future covenant violations (if necessary), continue to renegotiate the terms of
their loans, or further extend the expiration date of the Company's financing
facilities. Furthermore, there are no guarantees that the Company will be able
to meet its financial plan and projections, upon which the debt covenants are
based.
-24-
Management believes that cash flows from operations and its borrowing capacity
(see Note 9 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements)
are sufficient to support the Company's operations and general business and
capital liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
Inflation
While inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's results of
operations for the last three years, fluctuations in fuel prices can and do
affect the Company's operating costs.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
CDL is exposed to the effect of changing interest rates. At December 31, 2001,
the Company's debt consisted of approximately $20,595,000 of fixed rate debt
with a weighted average interest rate of 11.70% and $0 of variable rate debt
with a weighted average interest rate of 5.00%. The amount of variable rate debt
fluctuates during the year based on CD&L's cash requirements. Maximum borrowings
of variable rate debt at any quarter end were $301,000. If interest rates on
such variable rate debt were to increase by 50 basis points (approximately
one-tenth of the rate at December 31, 2001), the net impact to the Company's
results of operations and cash flows would be an increase of approximately
$13,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To CD&L, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CD&L, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2001. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CD&L, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index to
financial statement schedules is the responsibility of the Company's management
and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

CD&L, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) ORGANIZATION, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND BUSINESS:
CD&L, Inc. (the "Company") was founded in June 1994. In November 1995,
simultaneous with the closing of the Company's initial public offering (the
"Offering") separate wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company merged (the
"Merger") with each of eleven acquired businesses. Consideration for the
acquisition of these businesses consisted of a combination of cash and common
stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share. The assets and liabilities of
the acquired businesses at September 30, 1995 were recorded by the Company at
their historical amounts.
CD&L, Inc. and subsidiaries ("CDL") provides an extensive network of same-day
delivery services to a wide range of commercial, industrial and retail
customers. CDL operations currently are concentrated on the East Coast, with a
strategic presence on the West Coast.
During 2001 and 2000, the Company has had liquidity difficulties and has had to
renegotiate certain covenants and terms of its revolving credit facility, senior
subordinated notes and seller notes, including during the first quarter of 2002.
This is further discussed in Note 9. Additionally, the Company has an
accumulated deficit of ($9,114,000) as of December 31, 2001. The Company's
amended revolving credit facility with First Union expires on January 31, 2003.
There can be no assurances that the Company's lenders will agree to waive any
future covenant violations (if necessary), continue to renegotiate the terms of
their loans, or further extend the expiration date of the Company's financing
facilities. Furthermore, there are no guarantees that the Company will be able
to meet its financial plan and projections, upon which the debt covenants are
based.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Principles of Consolidation -
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of the Financial Statements -
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
-32-
Cash and Cash Equivalents -
CDL considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at
cost, which approximates market value.
Equipment and Leasehold Improvements -
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Leasehold improvements and assets subject to capital leases are
amortized over the shorter of the terms of the leases or the estimated useful
lives of the assets.
Deferred Financing Costs -
The costs incurred for obtaining financing, including all related fees are
included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are
amortized over the life of the related financing, from 2 - 7 years.
Intangible Assets -
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, non-compete agreements, customer lists
and deferred financing costs. See Note 7.
Insurance -
The Company maintains certain insurance risk through insurance policies with a
$250,000 deductible for workmens' compensation and automobile liability and a
$125,000 deductible for employee health medical costs. The Company reserves the
estimated amounts of uninsured claims and deductibles related to such insurance
retentions for claims that have occurred in the normal course of business. These
reserves are established by management based upon the recommendations of
third-party administrators who perform a specific review of open claims, with
consideration of incurred but not reported claims, as of the balance sheet date.
Actual claim settlements may differ materially from these estimated reserve
amounts. The Company's estimated cumulative losses for workmens' compensation
and automobile liability claims for the period January 1, 1999 through December
31, 2001 amounted to $9,654,000, of which $9,534,000 has been funded to the
Company's insurance carrier. The net liability of $120,000 is included in
accrued expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, the
Company has accrued $300,000 for incurred but unpaid employee health medical
costs as of December 31, 2001.
Revenue Recognition -
Revenue is recognized when the shipment is completed, or when services are
rendered to customers, and expenses are recognized as incurred. Certain
customers pay in advance, giving rise to deferred revenue.
-33-
Income Taxes -
CDL accounts for income taxes utilizing the liability approach. Deferred income
taxes are provided for differences in the recognition of assets and liabilities
for tax and financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences result primarily
from accelerated depreciation and amortization for tax purposes and various
accruals and reserves being deductible for tax purposes in future periods.
Long-Lived Assets -
CDL reviews its long-lived assets and certain related intangibles for impairment
whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be fully recoverable. The measurement of impairment losses to be
recognized is based on the difference between the fair values and the carrying
amounts of the assets. Impairment would be recognized in operating results if a
diminution in value occurred. During 2001 the Company believes that such a
change occurred and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $3,349,000. The
charge taken in 2001 was the result of a comprehensive review of the Company's
intangible assets under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"). As a result of recording
significant losses on the dispositions of Sureway and the Mid-West Region and as
a result of inadequate cash flows from certain acquired businesses due to the
loss of customers, the Company determined that the carrying amount of certain
assets might not be fully recoverable. The measurement of impairment losses
recognized in 2001 is based on the difference between the fair values, which
were calculated based upon the present value of projected future cash flows, and
the carrying amounts of the assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments -
Due to the short maturities of CDL's cash, receivables and payables, the
carrying value of these financial instruments approximates their fair values.
The fair value of CDL's debt is estimated based on the current rates offered to
CDL for debt with similar remaining maturities. CDL believes that the carrying
value of its debt estimates the fair value of such debt instruments.
Stock Based Compensation -
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") requires
that an entity account for employee stock compensation under a fair value based
method. However, SFAS 123 also allows an entity to continue to measure
compensation cost for employee stock-based compensation plans using the
intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("Opinion 25"). CDL has elected to
continue to account for employee stock-based compensation under Opinion 25 and
provide the required pro forma disclosures as if the fair value based method of
accounting under SFAS 123 had been applied (see Note 13).
-34-
Income (Loss) Per Share -
Basic earnings per share represents net income (loss) divided by the weighted
average shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share represents net income
(loss) divided by weighted average shares outstanding adjusted for the
incremental dilution of common stock equivalents. Because of the Company's net
loss for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, equivalent shares
represented by 1,842 and 1,840 Stock Options and 505,351 and 505,955 Warrants
respectively, for which the exercise or conversion price was less than the
average market price of common shares, would be anti-dilutive and therefore are
not included in the loss per share calculations for the years ended December 31,
2001 and 2000.
A reconciliation of weighted average common shares outstanding to weighted
average common shares outstanding assuming dilution follows:
2001 2000 1999
---- ---- ----
Basic weighted average common
shares outstanding 7,658,660 7,430,175 7,214,426

Accounting Pronouncements -
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations" ("SFAS 141"), and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 141 changes the accounting for business
combinations, requiring that all business combinations be accounted for using
the purchase method and that intangible assets be recognized as assets apart
from goodwill if they arise from contractual or other legal rights, or if they
are separate or capable of being separated from the acquired entity and sold,
transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged. SFAS 141 is effective for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 specifies the
financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible
assets. Goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will
not be amortized but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment.
SFAS 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
SFAS 142 requires that the useful lives of intangible assets acquired on or
before June 30, 2001 be reassessed and the remaining amortization periods
adjusted accordingly. Previously recognized intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives shall be tested for impairment. Goodwill recognized on or
before June 30, 2001, will be tested for impairment as of the beginning of the
fiscal year in which SFAS 142 is initially applied in its entirety.
-35-
Adoption of SFAS 142 will increase earnings by approximately $675,000 for the
year ended December 31, 2002. Amortization of goodwill and other intangibles was
$929,000, $1,113,000 and $1,120,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000
and 1999, respectively. (See Note 7).
In September 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal of Long-lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"). This statement addresses the
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived
assets. SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS 121, but retains SFAS 121's fundamental
provisions for (a) recognition/measurement of impairment of long-lived assets to
be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by
sale. SFAS 144 also supercedes the accounting/reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the Effects of a
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions" ("APB No. 30") for segments of a business to
be disposed of, but retains APB No. 30's requirement to report discontinued
operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a
component of an entity that either has been disposed of or is classified as held
for sale. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier application
encouraged. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 144 effective December 31, 2001. The
adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
Reclassifications -
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated
financial statements in order to conform to the 2001 presentation.
(3) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
On December 1, 2000, the Company made a strategic decision to dispose of its air
delivery business. Subsequently, on March 30, 2001, the Company consummated a
transaction providing for the sale of certain assets and liabilities of Sureway
Air Traffic Corporation, Inc. ("Sureway"), its air delivery business. The
selling price for the net assets was approximately $14,150,000 and was comprised
of $11,650,000 in cash, a subordinated promissory note (the "Note Receivable")
for $2,500,000 and contingent cash payments based upon the ultimate development
of certain liabilities retained by the Company. The Note Receivable bears
interest at the rate of 10.0% per annum, with interest only payable in monthly
installments. The entire balance of principal, plus all accrued interest, is due
and payable on March 30, 2006. As of December 31, 2001 collection of the Note
Receivable, interest accrued thereon and certain other related receivables was
in doubt. As such, the Company recorded a pretax charge in the fourth quarter of
2001 for $3,205,000 to write-off the Note Receivable, write-off certain other
direct expenses incurred on behalf of Sureway for which collection is in doubt
and to true-up certain accruals that were estimated in 2000 relative to the
disposition of Sureway. Collection efforts on all amounts due will continue. As
a result of this transaction and the subsequent adjustments to the Note
Receivable and other liabilities retained by us, provisions for losses on the
disposition of the Company's air delivery business have been provided in the
amounts of $2,305,000 and $2,807,000 (net of benefit for income taxes of
$900,000 and $125,000, respectively) for the years ended December 31, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
-36-
Accordingly, the financial position, operating results and the provision for
loss on the disposition of the Company's air delivery business have been
segregated from continuing operations and reclassified as a discontinued
operation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Results from the discontinued air delivery business were as follows (in

(4) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES:
On February 16, 1999, CDL and its subsidiary, Sureway, entered into and
consummated an asset and stock purchase agreement with Victory Messenger
Service, Inc., Richard Gold, Darobin Freight Forwarding Co., Inc., ("Darobin")
and The Trust Created Under Paragraph Third of the Last Will and Testament of
Charles Gold (the "Trust"), (collectively "Gold Wings"), whereby Sureway
purchased all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of Darobin and
certain of the assets and liabilities of the other sellers. The purchase price
was comprised of approximately $3,000,000 in cash, including estimated direct
acquisition costs, $1,650,000 in a 7% subordinated note (the "Note") and 200,000
shares of CDL common stock at $3.875 per share. The Note was due April 16, 2001,
with interest payable quarterly commencing April 1, 1999. In 2001 the Note was
renegotiated to include monthly principal and interest payments through April
2004 at an increased interest rate of 9%. The Note is subordinate to all
existing or future senior debt of CDL. In addition, a contingent earn out in the
aggregate amount of up to $520,000 was payable based on the achievement of
certain financial goals during the two year period following the closing. The
earn out was payable 55% in cash and 45% in CDL common stock. The net assets
acquired in this transaction are included in net assets of discontinued
operations in the accompanying financial statements. The obligations under the
Note and earn out, however, remain with CDL following the sale of the air
delivery business. During 2000, approximately $250,000 of the earn out was paid
in cash and the remaining obligation under the earn out was reduced by
approximately $100,000. In 2001, approximately $150,000 was paid to Gold Wings
in full settlement of the earn out. In 2002 the Note was renegotiated to include
monthly principal and interest payments through June 2007 and the interest rate
was changed to a floating rate with a floor of 7% and a ceiling of 9%.
On April 30, 1999, CDL entered into and consummated an asset purchase agreement
with its subsidiary, Silver Star Express, Inc. ("Silver Star") and Metro Parcel
Service, Inc., Nathan Spaulding and Kelly M. Spaulding, (collectively, "Metro
Parcel"), whereby Silver Star purchased certain of the assets and liabilities of
Metro Parcel. The purchase price was comprised of approximately $710,000 in
cash, $202,734 in a 7% subordinated note (the "Metro Parcel Note") and 40,000
shares of CDL's common stock at $3.25 per share. The Metro Parcel Note was due
April 30, 2001 with interest payable quarterly commencing August 1, 1999. The
Metro Parcel Note is subordinate to all existing or future senior debt of CDL.
In 2001 the Metro Parcel Note was renegotiated to include monthly principal and
interest payments through April 2004 at an increased interest rate of 9%. In
2002 the Metro Parcel Note was renegotiated to include monthly principal and
interest payments through June 2007 and the interest rate was changed to a
floating rate with a floor of 7% and a ceiling of 9%.
On April 30, 1999, CDL entered into and consummated an asset purchase agreement
with its subsidiary, Clayton/National Courier Systems, Inc. ("Clayton/National")
and Westwind Express, Inc., Logistics Delivery Systems, Inc., Fastrak Delivery
Systems, Inc., Sierra Delivery Services, Inc., and Steven S. Keihner
(collectively, "Westwind"), whereby Clayton/National purchased certain of the
assets and liabilities of Westwind. The purchase price was comprised of
approximately $2,650,000 in cash, $1,680,000 in various 7% subordinated notes
(the "Westwind Notes") and 149,533 shares of CDL's common stock at $3.21 per
share. The Westwind Notes are comprised of two-year notes due April 30, 2001
with a total principal amount of $1,200,000 and three-year notes due April 30,
2002 with a total principal amount of $480,000. Interest on the Westwind Notes
was payable quarterly commencing July 31, 1999. The Westwind Notes are
subordinate to all existing or future senior debt of CDL. In addition, a
contingent earn out in the aggregate amount of up to $700,000 was payable based
on the achievement of certain financial goals during the two year period
following the closing. The earn out was payable 60% in cash and 40% in one year
promissory notes bearing interest at a rate of 7% per annum having similar terms
as the Westwind Notes referred to above. During 2000, the earn out was settled
for $100,000 payable in twelve monthly cash installments commencing November 1,
2000. In 2001 the Westwind Notes due April 30, 2001 were consolidated and
renegotiated to include monthly principal and interest payments through April
2004 at an increased interest rate of 9%. In 2002 the Westwind Notes due April
30, 2002 were consolidated and renegotiated to include monthly principal and
interest payments through April 2007 and the interest rate was changed to a
floating rate with a floor of 7% and a ceiling of 9%. In addition, the Westwind
Notes amended in 2001 were renegotiated and amended to include monthly principal
and interest payments through June 2007 and the interest rate was changed to a
floating rate with a floor of 7% and a ceiling of 9%.
-38-
On May 10, 1999, CDL entered into and consummated an asset purchase agreement
(the "Skycab Purchase Agreement") with its subsidiary, Sureway, Skycab, Inc. and
Martin Shulman (collectively, "Skycab"), whereby Sureway purchased certain
assets of Skycab. The purchase price was comprised of approximately $78,100 in
cash and a contingent earn out payable for sixteen quarters following the
closing date. The net assets acquired in this transaction are included in net
assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.
CDL financed each of the above acquisitions using proceeds from its revolving
credit facility with First Union Commercial Corporation. All of the above
transactions have been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the allocation of the cost of the acquired assets and liabilities
have been made on the basis of the estimated fair value. The aggregate amount of
goodwill recorded for the Gold Wings and Skycab acquisitions was originally
$5,200,000 and was being amortized over 25 years, but has now been sold. The
goodwill recorded for the Metro Parcel acquisition was approximately $1,100,000
to be amortized over 25 years. The goodwill for the Westwind acquisition was
approximately $5,200,000 to be amortized over 40 years. Under the provisions of
SFAS 142 the Company will stop amortizing such goodwill in 2002 and will begin
annually testing such goodwill for impairment. The consolidated financial
statements include the operating results of Gold Wings, Metro Parcel, Westwind,
and Skycab from their respective acquisition dates.
On June 14, 2001, the Company consummated a transaction providing for the sale
of all the outstanding stock of National Express, Inc., the Company's Mid-West
Region subsidiary. The selling price was approximately $2,530,000 and was
comprised of $880,000 in cash and a subordinated promissory note (the
"Promissory Note") for $1,650,000. The Promissory Note bears interest at the
rate of 7.0% per annum. The Promissory Note is payable in seventeen equal
quarterly installments beginning March 14, 2002 and continuing through March 14,
2006 and a final balloon payment of approximately $1,100,000 on June 14, 2006.
The Promissory Note is included in Security Deposits and Other Assets in the
accompanying balance sheets. As a result of the transaction, the Company
recorded a $2,283,000 loss on the sale with no related tax benefit, which is
included in Other Expense, net in the accompanying statements of operations for
the year ended December 31, 2001. The Company recorded revenues for the Mid-West
Region amounting to $4,500,000, $10,800,000 and $11,700,000 for the years ending
December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Goodwill of $11,531,000 and $19,754,000 as of December 31, 2001 and 2000,
respectively (net of accumulated amortization and impairment of $5,645,000 and
$2,326,000, respectively) represents the excess of acquisition costs over the
fair value of net assets of businesses purchased and was amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods up to 40 years. Under SFAS 142, goodwill
associated with acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001 is not amortized (See
Note 4). Effective January 1, 2002, goodwill existing at June 30, 2001 will no
longer be amortized, but rather, evaluated for impairment on an annual basis
using a fair value based test. Other intangibles principally include non-compete
agreements and deferred financing costs of $721,000 and $912,000 as of December
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively (net of accumulated amortization).
During 2001 the Company recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $3,349,000. The
charge taken in 2001 was the result of a comprehensive review of the Company's
intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS 121. As a result of recording
significant losses on the dispositions of Sureway and the Mid-West Region, the
Company determined that the carrying amount of certain assets might not be fully
recoverable. The measurement of impairment losses recognized in 2001 is based on
the difference between the fair values and the carrying amounts of the assets.

(9) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT:
Short-term borrowings -
At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Company had a line of credit agreement for
$15,000,000 and $22,500,000, respectively. During 2001, upon the closing of the
sale of its air delivery business, the credit agreement was amended, reducing
the maximum available amount to $15,000,000. The Company's short-term borrowings
on its line of credit are as follows for the years ended December 31 (in
thousands) -
2001 2000 1999
---- ---- ----
End of year balance $- $11,169 $7,188
Maximum amount outstanding during the year 11,500 14,000 14,600
Average balance outstanding during the year 2,700 9,700 5,600
Weighted average borrowing cost during the year 11.0% 9.5% 9.8%
Standby letters of credit, end of year balance 7,081 5,728 3,284
Subsequent to December 31, 2001, CDL and First Union Commercial Corporation
("First Union") modified an agreement entered into in July 1997, establishing a
revolving credit facility (the "First Union Agreement"). The amendment extended
the agreement until January 31, 2003, increased the standby letter of credit fee
and reset the financial ratios and covenants that the Company must achieve
throughout the term of the First Union Agreement. Credit availability is based
on eligible amounts of accounts receivable, as defined, up to a maximum amount
of $15,000,000 and is secured by substantially all of the assets, including
certain cash balances, accounts receivable, equipment and leasehold improvements
and general intangibles of the Company and its subsidiaries. The First Union
Agreement provides for both fixed and variable rate loans. Interest rates on
fixed rate borrowings are based on LIBOR, plus 1.5% to 2%. Variable rate
borrowings are based on First Union's prime lending rate (which was 4.50% at
December 31, 2001), minus .25% to plus .25%. Based on eligible accounts
receivable at December 31, 2001, $1,100,000 of the credit facility was available
for future borrowings after adjusting for the restrictions for outstanding
letters of credit and minimum availability requirements.
Under the terms of the First Union Agreement, the Company is required to
maintain certain financial ratios and comply with other financial conditions.
The First Union Agreement also prohibits the Company from incurring certain
additional indebtedness, limits certain investments, advances or loans and
restricts substantial asset sales, capital expenditures and cash dividends. At
December 31, 2001 the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants of the
First Union Agreement, as retroactively amended in 2002.
Long-Term Debt -
On January 29, 1999, the Company completed a $15,000,000 private placement of
senior subordinated notes and warrants with three financial institutions. The
notes originally bore interest at 12.0% per annum and are subordinate to all
senior debt including the Company's credit facility with First Union. Under the
terms of the notes, as amended in 2002, the Company is required to maintain
certain financial ratios and comply with other financial conditions for which
the Company was in compliance as of December 31, 2001. The notes mature on
January 29, 2006 and may be prepaid by the Company under certain circumstances.
The warrants expire on January 19, 2009 and are exercisable at any time prior to
expiration at a price of $.001 per equivalent share of common stock for an
aggregate of 506,250 shares of the Company's stock, subject to additional
adjustments. The Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants of
$1,265,000 as a credit to additional paid-in-capital and a debt discount on the
senior subordinated notes. The Company used the proceeds to finance acquisitions
and to reduce outstanding short-term borrowings.
-42-
As of August 17, 2000, November 21, 2000, March 30, 2001, May 30, 2001, August
20, 2001, November 19, 2001 and April 12, 2002, the Company and the note holders
modified the senior subordinated notes entered into on January 29, 1999 to
change the financial ratios and conditions that the Company must comply with.
The most recent amendment increases the interest rate on the notes to 15.0%
beginning April 1, 2002. The interest rate will be reduced to 12.0%
retroactively to April 1, 2002 contingent upon the Company meeting certain debt
restructuring goals. In addition, as a result of the terms of certain prior
amendments, the Company was required to repay $1,000,000 of the notes in 2001
with the proceeds from the sale of its air delivery business as well as repay an
additional $250,000 of the notes in 2001. Payments totalling $750,000 are
required to be repaid in 2002. Furthermore, as noted above, in order for the
Company to achieve a retroactive interest rate reduction, it will be required to
restructure its debt. This would require the Company to pay an additional
$1,750,000 in 2002 to the noteholders and an additional $750,000 in each of
2003, 2004 and 2005 in order to meet the restructuring goals. As the Company has
not yet achieved this debt restructuring, the accompanying financial statements
reflect the principal payment requirements under the current agreements.

(a) In September 1995, the Company issued $2,000,000 in the aggregate
principal amount of its 8% Subordinated Convertible Debentures (the "8%
Debentures"). On April 1, 1998 the Company converted $740,000 of the
$2,000,000 of the 8% Debentures to 10% Subordinated Convertible Debentures
(the "10% Debentures") and issued $150,000 of additional 10% Debentures.
The remaining 8% Debentures, totaling $1,260,000 were repaid in August
1998. On August 1, 1999, the 10% Debentures were further amended extending
the maturity date to August 21, 2001 and reducing the conversion price to
$5.00 per share. An additional $150,000 of 10% Debentures were issued at
that time and $311,250 of 10% Debentures were repaid. During 2000, $578,750
of 10% Debentures were repaid. During 2001, the remaining $150,000 of 10%
Debentures were repaid.
(b) In March 2001, the Company renegotiated the repayment terms of certain
seller-financed debt. Upon maturity, the individual notes were converted
into four year term loans with principal and interest payments due monthly.
The thirty-sixth payment was to be a balloon payment of the remaining
principal and interest due. In April 2002, the Company renegotiated the
repayment terms of certain seller-financed debt. Effective with the July
2002 payments, the individual notes convert into five year term loans with
principal and interest payments due monthly. The interest rate on
seller-financed debt, as amended in 2002, is generally a floating interest
rate with a floor of 7% and a ceiling of 9%. The one note not yet
renegotiated in 2002 has a balance of $1,551,000 at December 31, 2001 and
bears interest at a rate of 11.0%.

(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

$10,769,000 and $9,583,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.
Litigation -
In February 1996, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") filed an
action against Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a subsidiary of
the Company, Mr. Vincent Brana, an employee of the Company, and certain other
parties in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. Under the terms of its acquisition of Securities, the Company had certain
rights to indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the
indemnification, Mr. Brana has entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed
a Promissory Note in such amount as may be due for any defense costs or award
arising out of this suit. Mr. Brana has agreed to repay the Company on December
1, 2002, together with interest calculated at a rate per annum equal to the rate
charged the Company by its senior lender. (See Note 16) Mr. Brana delivered
357,301 shares of CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the note.
On September 8, 2000 the parties entered into a settlement agreement in which
Securities and Mr. Brana agreed to pay Liberty Mutual $1,300,000. An initial
payment of $650,000 was made by Securities on October 16, 2000, $325,000 plus
interest at a rate of 10.5% per annum was paid in monthly installments ending
July 1, 2001 and $325,000 plus interest at a rate of 12.0% per annum is due in
monthly installments ending July 1, 2002. Recently, Mr. Brana has disputed his
obligation to satisfy the amounts when they are due.
-46-
The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal
course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal injury and
property damage incurred in connection with its same-day delivery operations. In
connection therewith, the Company has recorded reserves of $575,000 and $455,000
as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Management believes that none of
these actions, including the action described above, will have a material
adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations
of the Company.
Earn-Outs
Certain of the companies acquired by the Company are eligible to earn additional
amounts, consisting of a combination of cash and notes payable, as adjustments
to the purchase prices paid for those companies. At December 31, 1999, the
Company had recorded an accrual for the estimated earn-outs for Gold Wings,
Westwind and Skycab in the amounts of $520,000, $700,000 and $100,000, in
connection with recording their respective acquisitions. Due to applicable
targets not being met, the earn outs for Everready Express and Manteca
Enterprises were reduced by $242,000 and $679,000, respectively during 1999. The
Company recorded an increase in purchase price for a settlement reached in
connection with the acquisition of Metro Courier in the amount of $167,000
during 1999. At December 31, 2000, the Company had recorded an accrual for the
estimated earn-outs for Gold Wings and Westwind in the amounts of $170,000 and
$75,000, in connection with their respective acquisitions. Due to applicable
targets not being met, the earn outs for Gold Wings and Westwind were reduced by
$100,000 and $600,000, respectively during 2000. In 2001, approximately $150,000
was paid to Gold Wings in full settlement of the earn out on that acquisition
and the $75,000 was paid to Westwind. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has
recorded and paid all required earn-outs.
(13) Stock Option Plans:
The Company has two stock option plans under which employees and independent
directors may be granted options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock at
or above the fair market value at the date of grant. Options generally vest in
one to four years and expire in 10 years.
-47-
Employee Stock Compensation Program -
In September 1995, the Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders of the
Company approved the Company's Employee Stock Compensation Program (the
"Employee Stock Compensation Program"). The Employee Stock Compensation Program
authorizes the granting of incentive stock options, non-qualified supplementary
options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and stock bonus awards to
key employees of the Company, including those employees serving as officers or
directors of the Company. The Company initially reserved 1,400,000 shares of
Common Stock for issuance in connection with the Employee Stock Compensation
Program. In June 1998 the Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders of the
Company approved an additional 500,000 shares for issuance under the Employee
Stock Compensation Program. In June 2000 the Board of Directors adopted and the
stockholders of the Company approved the Year 2000 Employee Stock Compensation
Program, which provided an additional 1,350,000 shares for issuance to key
employees of the Company. In June 2001 the Board of Directors adopted and the
stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Year 2000 Employee
Stock Compensation Program, which provided an additional 375,000 shares for
issuance to key employees of the Company. The Employee Stock Compensation
Programs are administered by a committee of the Board of Directors (the
"Administrators") made up of directors who are disinterested persons. Options
and awards granted under the Employee Stock Compensation Programs will have an
exercise or payment price as established by the Administrators provided that the
exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market
value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Unless otherwise specified
by the Administrators, options and awards will vest in four equal installments
on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant.
1995 Stock Option Plan for Independent Directors -
In September 1995, the Board of Directors adopted, and the stockholders of the
Company approved, the Company's 1995 Stock Option Plan for Independent Directors
(the "Director Plan"). The Director Plan authorizes the granting of
non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors of the Company. The
Company has reserved 100,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance in connection
with the Director Plan. The Director Plan is administered by a committee of the
Board of Directors (the "Committee"), none of whom will be eligible to
participate in the Director Plan. The Director Plan provided for an initial
grant of an option to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock upon election as a
director of the Company, a second option to purchase 1,000 shares of Common
Stock upon the one-year anniversary of such director's election and subsequent
annual options for 500 shares of Common Stock upon the anniversary of each year
of service as a director. In June 1998 the stockholders of the Company approved
amendments to the Director Plan. The amendments replaced the annual stock option
grants of the original plan with quarterly grants of 1,250 shares of stock
options on the first trading day of each fiscal quarter commencing on October 1,
1997. In August of 1998 and February of 1999, the Committee approved further
amendments to the Plan. These amendments replaced the time period to exercise
vested options after a participating director has served as a director for a
period of three consecutive years or more. The Director Plan was amended to
provide that in the event any holder, who has served as a director for three or
more consecutive years, shall cease to be a director for any reason, including
removal with or without cause or death or disability, all options (to the extent
exercisable at the termination of the director's service) shall remain
exercisable by the holder or his lawful heirs, executors or administrators until
the expiration of the ten year period following the date such options were
granted.

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 and has chosen to continue to
account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method.
Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock-based
compensation plans. Pro forma information regarding net (loss) income and (loss)
earnings per share is required, and has been determined as if the Company had
accounted for its stock options under the fair value method. The fair value for
these options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model with the following assumptions for 2001, 2000 and 1999.
2001 2000 1999
---- ---- ----
Weighted average fair value $0.53 $1.83 $2.33
Risk-free interest rate 4.80% 6.50% 6.00%
Volatility factor 141% 140% 76%
Expected life 7 years 7 years 7 years
Dividend yield None None None
---- ---- ----
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value
estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma net (loss) income and (loss) income per share were as follows (in
thousands, except per share data):

(14) EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
Effective April 1, 1998, CDL adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
"Employee Purchase Plan") which was amended in 1999. The Employee Purchase Plan
permitted eligible employees to purchase CDL common stock at 85% of the closing
market price on the last day prior to the commencement or the end of the
purchase period. The Employee Purchase Plan provided for the purchase of up to
500,000 shares of common stock. During 2001, 2000 and 1999, 0, 305,202 and
73,172 shares were issued under the Employee Purchase Plan, respectively.
(15) SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
On December 27, 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company announced the
declaration of a dividend of one right (a "Right") for each outstanding share of
Common Stock of the Company held of record at the close of business on January
6, 2000, or issued thereafter and prior to the time at which they separate from
the Common Stock and thereafter pursuant to options and convertible securities
outstanding at the time they separate from the Common Stock. The Rights were
issued pursuant to a Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement, dated as of
December 27, 1999, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, as Rights Agent. Each Right entitles its registered holder to purchase
from the Company, after the Separation Time, one one-hundredth of a share of
Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for $27.00 (the
"Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment. The holders of Rights will, solely by
reason of their ownership of Rights, have no rights as stockholders of the
Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.
The Rights will separate from the Common Stock if any person or group (subject
to certain exceptions) becomes the beneficial owner of fifteen percent or more
of the Common Stock or any person or group (subject to certain exceptions) makes
a tender or exchange offer that would result in that person or group
beneficially owning fifteen percent or more of the Common Stock. Upon separation
of the Rights from the Common Stock, each Right (other than Rights beneficially
owned by the acquiring person or group, which Rights shall become void) will
constitute the right to purchase from the Company that number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company having a market price equal to twice the Exercise
Price for an amount equal to the Exercise Price. In addition, if a person or
group who has acquired beneficial ownership of fifteen percent or more of the
Common Stock controls the board of directors of the Company and the Company
engages in certain business combinations or asset sales, then the holders of the
Rights (other than the acquiring person or group) will have the right to
purchase common stock of the acquiring company having a market value equal to
two times the Exercise Price.
In certain circumstances, the Board of Directors may elect to exchange all of
the then outstanding Rights (other than Rights beneficially owned by the
acquiring person or group, which Rights become void) for shares of Common Stock
at an exchange ratio of one share of Common Stock per Right, appropriately
adjusted to reflect certain changes in the capital stock of the Company. In
addition, the Board of Directors may, prior to separation from the Common Stock,
redeem all (but not less than all) the then outstanding Rights at a price of
$.01 per Right. Unless redeemed, exchanged or amended on an earlier date, the
Rights will expire on the tenth anniversary of the record date.

(16) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
Leasing Transactions -
Certain subsidiaries of the Company paid approximately $173,000, $523,000 and
$536,000 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, in
rent to certain directors, stockholders or companies owned and controlled by
directors or stockholders of the Company. Rent is paid for office, warehouse
facilities and transportation equipment.
Note Receivable from Stockholder -
In connection with his indemnification to CDL under the terms of CDL's
acquisition of Securities, Mr. Vincent Brana, an employee of the Company, has
entered into a settlement agreement and executed a promissory note in the amount
of $500,000 or such greater amount as may be due under the settlement agreement.
The Company has agreed to advance certain legal fees and expenses related to
certain litigation involving Securities, for which Mr. Brana has indemnified
CDL. At December 31, 2001 and 2000 the Company had a receivable due from Mr.
Brana totaling $2,800,000 and $2,908,000, respectively. Mr. Brana has agreed to
repay the Company on December 1, 2002, together with interest calculated at a
rate per annum equal to the rate charged the Company by its senior lender. The
Company holds 357,301 shares of common stock as security for the promissory
note. As of December 31, 2000, considering the market value of the collateral
and Mr. Brana's failure to update and provide satisfactory evidence to support
his ability to pay the promissory note, the Company recorded a $2,500,000
reserve against the receivable. Recently, Mr. Brana has disputed his obligation
to satisfy the amounts when they are due.

Effective as of January 5, 2000, Mr. Van Ness entered into an
employment agreement with the Company (the "2000 Agreement") commencing upon
termination of the employment agreement with the Company entered into on January
4, 1999. In January 2001, certain terms of the 2000 Agreement were modified by
an Amendatory Agreement which was further orally modified in June 2001 to
provide for an annual salary of $300,000 per year for the duration of the 2000
Agreement with the right to receive an annual bonus equal to up to 100% of Mr.
Van Ness' then-current base salary based upon the Company attaining certain
targets. For the period January 1, 2001 to present, Mr. Van Ness has continued
to serve as the Company's Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Mr.
Van Ness and the Company are currently negotiating an extension of the 2000
Agreement at a reduced salary.
-57-
The employment agreement provides that, in the event of a termination
of employment by the Company for any reason other than "cause" or "disability"
(as defined in the 2000 Agreement) or by Mr. Van Ness as a result of a material
breach by the Company, then Mr. Van Ness will be entitled to receive for the
remainder of the term all base salary due, all annual bonuses and all other
benefits and prerequisites. In the event that Mr. Van Ness' employment
terminates within 360 days of a "change in control" (as defined in the 2000
Agreement), Mr. Van Ness will be entitled to receive two times the sum of his
then-current base salary and the highest annual bonus earned by him during his
employment with the Company (subject to certain limitations under the Internal
Revenue Code). Mr. Van Ness' employment agreement is subject to certain
non-competition, non-solicitation and anti-raiding provisions.
Effective as of May 1, 2000 Messrs. Brannan, Brooks and Reardon entered
into five year employment agreements with the Company. Salaries for those
individuals under the agreement in 2001 were, respectively, $300,000, $240,000
and $200,000.
Each agreement contains identical terms and conditions (other
than salary) including covenants against competition and change in control
provisions. The change in control provision provides that if the employment with
the Company is terminated for any reason by either the employee or the Company
within six months following a change in control of the Company, the employee
will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two (2) times the sum of
employee's then current base salary plus the highest approved bonus payment made
to the employee during his employment with the Company (subject to certain
limitations under the Internal Revenue Code). Each employment agreement also
contains non-competition covenants that will continue for two years following
termination of employment unless termination was by the Company without cause or
by the employee as a result of a breach of the employment agreement by the
Company in which event the covenants against competition will cease upon
termination of employment.
