1 BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
attached consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant
to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes that the disclosures
made
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods
presented. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included
in
the Company=s
Form
10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about December
29, 2006.
2 STOCK
REPURCHASE PLAN
On
October 12, 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of
up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain
conditions. It is expected that purchases under the program will depend
upon
prevailing market conditions and other factors such as the Company’s cash
position. The repurchase plan may be suspended by the Company at any time.
During the three months ended December 31, 2006, 17,000 shares were repurchased
under this plan at a cost of $8,501.
3 SUBSEQUENT
EVENT
On
January 10, 2007, Janel World Trade, Ltd. (“Janel”) entered into a Securities
Purchase agreement with an Institutional Purchaser, pursuant to which Janel
sold
an aggregate of one million unregistered shares of newly-authorized $0.001
par
value 3% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Stock”) for a total
purchase price of $500,000. The shares are convertible into shares of Janel’s
$0.001 par value common stock at any time on a one-share for one-share
basis.
Janel
simultaneously entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the
Institutional Purchaser requiring the underlying shares of common stock
issuable
upon conversion of the Series A Stock to be included in the next securities
registration statement (except for a registration statement on Forms S-4
or S-8)
filed by Janel with the securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and listed
(if possible) on NASDAQ or a National Securities Exchange. The registration
statement must be filed no later than nine months from closing, for an
offering
made on a continuous basis pursuant to SEC Rule 415, and become effective
within
ninety days after filing. Janel has agreed that none of its officers or
directors will enter into any transaction for the disposition of any Janel
shares owned by them or their affiliates until the expiration of nine months
following the effective date of the required registration
statement.
In
addition, Janel agreed to pay the purchasers an advisory fee of $2,000
per month
for twelve months beginning March 1, 2007.

Item
2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Forward
Looking Statements
The
statements contained in all parts of this document that are not historical
facts
are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, those relating to the following: the effect and benefits of the
company’s reverse merger transaction; Janel’s plans to reduce costs (including
the scope, timing, impact and effects thereof); potential annualized cost
savings; plans for direct entry into the trucking and warehouse distribution
business (including the scope, timing, impact and effects thereof); the
company's ability to improve its cost structure; plans for opening additional
domestic and foreign branch offices (including the scope, timing, impact
and
effects thereof); the sensitivity of demand for the company's services to
domestic and global economic and political conditions; expected growth; future
operating expenses; future margins; fluctuations in currency valuations;
fluctuations in interest rates; future acquisitions and any effects, benefits,
results, terms or other aspects of such acquisitions; ability to continue
growth
and implement growth and business strategy; the ability of expected sources
of
liquidity to support working capital and capital expenditure requirements;
future expectations and outlook and any other statements regarding future
growth, cash needs, operations, business plans and financial results and
any
other statements that are not historical facts.
When
used
in this document, the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "may," "plans,"
"project," and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements
that
identify forward-looking statements. Janel’s results may differ significantly
from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Such statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those relating
to costs, delays and difficulties related to the company's dependence on
its
ability to attract and retain skilled managers and other personnel; the intense
competition within the freight industry; the uncertainty of the company's
ability to manage and continue its growth and implement its business strategy;
the company's dependence on the availability of cargo space to serve its
customers; effects of regulation; its vulnerability to general economic
conditions and dependence on its principal customers; accuracy of accounting
and
other estimates; risk of international operations; risks relating to
acquisitions; the company's future financial and operating results, cash
needs
and demand for its services; and the company's ability to maintain and comply
with permits and licenses; as well as other risk factors described in Janel’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 29, 2006. Should
one
or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying
assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those
projected.

Overview
The
following discussion and analysis addresses the results of operations for
the
three months ended December 31, 2006, as compared to the results of operations
for the three months ended December 31, 2005. The discussion and analysis
then
addresses the liquidity and financial condition of the company, and other
matters.
Results
of Operations
Janel
operates its business as a single segment comprised of full-service cargo
transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding - via air,
ocean and land-based carriers - customs brokerage services, warehousing and
distribution services, and other value-added logistics services.
Three
Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31,
2005
Revenue.
Total
revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $16,727,869, as compared
to
$18,781,315 for the same period of fiscal 2006, a year-over-year decrease
of
$2,053,446, or 10.9%. Management attributes the decreased level of revenue
in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007 to softness in the global logistics industry,
which it believes to be attributable, in part, to better inventory management
on
the part of retailers during the weeks prior to the end-of-year holiday shopping
season.
Forwarding
Expense. Forwarding
expense is primarily comprised of the fees paid by Janel directly to cargo
carriers to handle and transport its actual freight shipments on behalf of
its
customers between initial and final terminal points. Forwarding expense also
includes any duties and/or trucking charges related to the shipments. As
a
general rule, revenue received by the company for shipments via ocean freight
are marked up at a lower percentage versus their related forwarding expense
than
are shipments via airfreight, i.e., forwarding expense as a percentage of
revenue is generally higher (and the company earns less) for ocean freight
than
for airfreight.
For
the
first quarter of fiscal 2007, forwarding expense decreased by $2,034,493,
or
12.1%, to $14,804,254, as compared to $16,838,747 for the first quarter of
fiscal 2006. The percentage decrease was slightly greater than the decrease
in
total revenue year over year, yielding a favorable decrease of 116 basis
points
in the measure of forwarding expense as a percentage of revenue to 88.50%
from
89.66% for the first fiscal quarter of 2006. An improvement (i.e. decrease)
in
this measure would typically result from a somewhat higher proportion of
airfreight versus ocean freight in the company’s revenue mix during the period.
Net revenue (revenue minus forwarding expenses) in the first quarter of fiscal
2007 was $1,923,615, a decrease of $18,953, or 1.0%, as compared to $1,942,568
in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expense.
Selling,
general and administrative expense in first quarter of fiscal 2007 increased
by
$54,613 (3.1%) to $1,844,358, or 11.0% of total revenue, as compared to
$1,789,745, or 9.53% of total revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
The
year-over-year dollar increase in SG&A resulted primarily from
year-over-year increases in accounting, legal and investor relations expenses.
10
Income
Before Taxes. Janel’s
income before taxes declined from $155,455 in the first quarter of fiscal
2006
to $92,198 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, down 40.7%. The principal
reason
for the drop was the lower level of overall revenue, compounded by the
relatively higher SG&A as a percentage of revenue in the 2007
quarter.
Income
Taxes. The
effective income tax rate in both the 2007 and 2006 periods reflects the
U.S.
federal statutory rate and applicable state income taxes.
Net
Income. Net
income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $52,198, or $0.0031 per basic
share, as compared to net income of $88,655, or $0.0053 per basic share in
the
first quarter of fiscal 2006, a decline of 41.1%.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Janel’s
ability to meet its liquidity requirements, which include satisfying its
debt
obligations, funding working capital, day-to-day operating expenses and capital
expenditures depends upon its future performance, which is subject to general
economic conditions and other factors, some of which are beyond its control.
During the three months ended December 31, 2006, Janel’s net working capital
(total current assets less total current liabilities) increased by $55,740,
or
1.5%.
At
December 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $34,275 to $1,307,677
from $1,341,952 at September 30, 2006. For the three months ended December
31,
2006, Janel’s primary use of cash was an increase in accounts receivable of
approximately $404,000, offset by an increase in accounts payable of
approximately $235,000, and a decrease in prepaid expenses and sundry current
assets of approximately $79,000.
In
July
2005, Janel decreased its line of credit from $3,000,000 to $1,500,000, because
its cash flow is adequate for financing its receivables, and it obtained
a
reduced interest rate. At December 31,
2006,
Janel had $1,500,000 of available borrowing under its line of credit, bearing
interest at prime less one-half of one percent (0.5%) per annum, collateralized
by substantially all the assets of Janel and personal guarantees by certain
shareholders of the company.
On
January 10, 2007, Janel sold an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock to an institutional investor for an aggregate
purchase price of $500,000. A discussion of this transaction is set forth
in the
company’s Form 8-K Report filed January 17, 2007.
11
Management
believes that anticipated cash flow, and availability under its existing
line of
credit are sufficient to meet its current working capital and operating needs.
However, the company is also proceeding with its comprehensive growth strategy
for fiscal 2007 and beyond, which encompasses a number of potential elements,
as
detailed below under “Current Outlook.” To successfully execute various of these
growth strategy elements in the coming months, the company will need to secure
additional financing estimated at up to $10,000,000. There is no assurance
either that such additional capital as necessary to execute the company’s
business plan and intended growth strategy will be available or, if available,
will be extended to the company at mutually acceptable terms.
Current
Outlook
Janel
is
primarily engaged in the business of providing full-service cargo transportation
logistics management, including freight forwarding - via air, ocean and
land-based carriers - customs brokerage services, warehousing and distribution
services, and other value-added logistics services. Its results of operations
are affected by the general economic cycle, particularly as it influences
global
trade levels and specifically the import and export activities of Janel’s
various current and prospective customers. Historically, the company’s quarterly
results of operations have been subject to seasonal trends which have been
the
result of, or influenced by, numerous factors including climate, national
holidays, consumer demand, economic conditions, the growth and diversification
of its international network and service offerings, and other similar and
subtle
forces.
Based
upon the results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the first
quarter
of fiscal 2007, and its current operations, Janel conservatively projects
that
gross revenue from its currently existing accounts and businesses for its
fiscal
year ending September 30, 2007 will be in line with gross revenue for fiscal
2006.
In
addition, Janel is progressing with the implementation of its business plan
and
strategy to grow its revenue and profitability for fiscal 2007 and beyond
through other avenues. The company’s strategy for growth includes plans to: open
additional branch offices domestically and/or outside the continental United
States; introduce additional revenue streams for its existing headquarters
and
branch locations; proceed with negotiations and due diligence with privately
held transportation-related firms which may ultimately lead to their acquisition
by the company; expand its existing sales force by hiring additional
commission-only sales representatives with established customer bases; increase
its focus on growing revenue related to export activities; evaluate direct
entry
into the trucking and warehouse distribution business as a complement to
the
services already provided to existing customers; and continue its focus on
containing current and prospective overhead and operating expenses, particularly
with regard to the efficient integration of any additional offices or
acquisitions.
Assuming
a continued expansion of the global economy and domestic consumer demand,
the
company believes that gross revenue for fiscal 2007 could exceed its gross
revenue for fiscal 2006. In the event of a successful execution of substantial

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
discusses the company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect
the
amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Since
future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty,
the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual
results
could differ from those estimates, and such difference may be material to
the
financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent
in the
preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate
carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent
from other sources, primarily allowance for doubtful accounts, accruals for
transportation and other direct costs, and accruals for cargo insurance.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various
assumptions which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
We
reevaluate these significant factors as facts and circumstances change.
Historically, actual results have not differed significantly from our estimates.
These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion
and analysis and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included
in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30,
2006.
Management
believes that the nature of the company’s business is such that there are few,
if any, complex challenges in accounting for operations. Revenue recognition
is
considered the critical accounting policy due to the complexity of arranging
and
managing global logistics and supply-chain management transactions.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenues
are derived from airfreight, ocean freight and custom brokerage services.
The
company is a non-asset-based carrier and accordingly does not own transportation
assets. The company generates the major portion of its air and ocean freight
revenues by purchasing transportation services from direct carriers (airlines,
steam ship lines, etc.) and reselling those services to its customers. By
consolidating shipments from multiple customers and availing itself of its
buying power, the company is able to negotiate favorable rates from the direct
carriers, while offering to its customers lower rates than the customers
could
obtain themselves.
Airfreight
revenues include the charges for carrying the shipments when the company
acts as
a freight consolidator. Ocean freight revenues include the charges for carrying
the shipments when the company acts as a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier
(NVOCC). In each case, the company is acting as an indirect carrier. When
acting
as an indirect carrier, the company will issue a House Airway Bill (HAWB)
or a
House Ocean Bill of Lading (HOBL) to customers as the contract of carriage.
In
turn, when the freight is physically tendered to a direct carrier, the company
receives a contract of carriage known as a Master Airway Bill for airfreight
shipments and a Master Ocean Bill of Lading for ocean shipments. At this
point
the risk of loss passes to the carrier, however, in order to claim for any
such
loss, the customer is first obligated to pay the freight charges.
13
Based
upon the terms in the contract of carriage, revenues related to shipments
where
the company issues a HAWB or a HOBL are recognized at the time the freight
is
tendered to the direct carrier. Costs related to the shipments are recognized
at
the same time.
Revenues
realized when the company acts as an agent for the shipper and does not issue
a
HAWB or a HOBL include only the commission and fees earned for the services
performed. These revenues are recognized upon completion of the
services.
Customs
brokerage and other services involves provide multiple services at destination
including clearing shipments through customs by preparing required
documentation, calculating and providing for payment of duties and other
charges
on behalf of the customers, arranging for any required inspections, and
arranging for final delivery. These revenues are recognized upon completion
of
the services.
The
movement of freight may require multiple services. In most instances the
company
may perform multiple services including destination breakbulk and value added
services such as local transportation, distribution services and logistics
management. Each of these services has separate fee that is recognized as
revenue upon completion of the service.
Customers
will frequently request an all-inclusive rate for a set of services that
is
known in the industry as “door-to-door services.” In these cases, the customer
is billed a single rate for all services from pickup at origin to delivery. The
allocation of revenue and expense among the components of services when provided
under an all inclusive rate are done in an objective manner on a fair value
basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, “Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.”
Estimates
While
judgments and estimates are a necessary component of any system of accounting,
the company’s use of estimates is limited primarily to the following areas that
in the aggregate are not a major component of the company’s consolidated
statements of income:
a.
|
accounts
receivable valuation;
|
b.
|
the
useful lives of long-term assets;
|
c.
|
the
accrual of costs related to ancillary services the company provides;
and
|
c.
|
accrual
of tax expense on an interim basis.
|
Management
believes that the methods utilized in all of these areas are non-aggressive
in
approach and consistent in application. Management believes that there are
limited, if any, alternative accounting principles or methods which could
be
applied to the company’s transactions. While the use of estimates means that
actual future results may be different from those contemplated by the estimates,
the company believes that alternative principles and methods used for making
such estimates would not produce materially different results than those
reported.

4. Controls and Procedures.
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures that is designed
to
provide reasonable assurance that information, which is required to be disclosed
by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities
and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to
management in a timely manner. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer have evaluated this system of disclosure controls and procedures
as of
the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, and believe that
the
system is effective. There have been no changes in our internal control over
financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.
