4 ACQUISITIONS

On October 4, 2010, the Company acquired the international freight forwarding business of Ferrara International Logistics Inc. (“FIL”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and Ferrara.

The purchase price under the terms of the Purchase Agreement consists of (i) cash in an amount equal to 70% of the annual actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) achieved over the three 12-month periods following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”) from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets, and (ii) 1,714,286 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock valued at $600,000 based on the closing market price of the stock on October 1, 2010 (the “Share Allocation”). The Share Allocation is subject to decrease if actual EBITDA from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets during the Earn-Out Period is below $2 million, and will be issued in three installments on October 4, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Purchase price allocation

In accordance with the acquisition method of accounting the Company has initially allocated the consideration to the identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying net tangible and identifiable intangible assets.

The initial consideration estimated at $1,840,000 consists of $600,000 of common stock and $1,400,000 non-interest bearing notes issued, net of imputed interest of $160,000. The consideration has been allocated as follows:

Intangible assets:
Customer relationships subject to amortization	$	1,220,000
Goodwill		620,000
Total fair value	$	1,840,000

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Nicholas V. Ferrara, the principal owner of FIL, will be employed by the Company at an annual salary of $182,000 plus benefits.

5 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(1) In March 2010 the Company reached a settlement agreement and mutual general release with a defendant in litigation which had commenced in 2008. Terms of the settlement include the issuance of 489,750 shares of Janel’s common stock, surrender of 69,475 shares of preferred stock, elimination of a $125,000 note payable to the defendant and a release of any and all claims and demands of the defendant.

In November 2010 the Company reached a settlement agreement and mutual general releases with another defendant. Terms of the settlement include the issuance of 780,000 shares of Janel’s common stock to Mr. Francis, as well as payments totaling $23,359. Upon issuance and delivery of the settlement shares and payment of the cash settlement, both signed a stipulation and Order of Dismissal ending all claims made in their entirety.

(2) On December 3, 2010 the former “CFO” of Janel filed a complaint alleging, among other things, discrimination by the Company. No damages were claimed in the complaint. The Company’s response to the complaint is due March 3, 2011. The Company intends to vigorously defend this claim.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As used throughout this Report, “we,” “our,” “Janel”, “the Company” and similar words refers to Janel World Trade, Ltd.

forward-looking statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations with respect to our operations, performance, financial condition, and other developments. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the words “may”, “will”, “believes”, “should”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, and similar expressions. These statements are necessarily estimates reflecting management’s best judgment based upon current information and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and readers are advised that various factors could affect our financial performance and could cause our actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. While it is impossible to identify all such factors, such factors include, but are not limited to, those risks identified in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

overview

Janel is a non-asset based third party logistics services provider engaged in full-service cargo transportation logistics management, including freight forwarding via air, ocean and land based carriers, customs brokerage services, and warehousing and distribution services. Our headquarters are in Jamaica, New York and we operate through a network which includes 4 company-owned offices in the United States and independent international agents in approximately 52 countries around the world.

As a non-asset based third party logistics provider, we do not own any transportation assets and fulfill our transportation needs by purchasing transportation services from direct (asset-based) carriers and from other transportation providers who generally provide us with favorable rates with priority handling of our shipments. By consolidating multiple shipments from our customers we are able to negotiate favorable pricing from these transportation providers and can offer lower rates to our customers than they could obtain on their own. This non-asset based approach provides us with a variable cost structure and allows for a high level of operating flexibility. Our investment in assets is limited to the purchase of office and computer equipment and the leasing of office and warehouse space for our company owned offices.

Historically, Janel’s quarterly operating results have been subject to seasonal trends. The fiscal first quarter has traditionally been the weakest and the fiscal third and fourth quarters have traditionally been the strongest. This pattern has been the result of, or influenced by, numerous factors including climate, national holidays, consumer demand, economic conditions and other similar and subtle forces. A significant portion of our revenues are derived from customers in industries with shipping patterns closely tied to consumer demand and from customers with shipping patterns dependent upon just-in-time production schedules. Many customers may ship a significant portion of their goods at or near the end of a quarter. Therefore, the timing of our revenues are, to a large degree, affected by factors beyond our control, such as shifting consumer demand for retail goods and manufacturing production delays. We cannot accurately forecast many of these factors, nor can we estimate the relative impact of any particular factor and, as a result, there is no assurance that historical patterns will continue in the future

results of operations

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, as compared to the results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. The discussion and analysis then addresses the liquidity and financial condition of the Company, and other matters.

Janel operates its business as two reportable segments. The first segment is 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. The second segment is comprised of computer software sales, support and maintenance. The Company does not anticipate any future revenue from the computer software sales, support and maintenance segment and from January 1, 2011 will only incur costs associated with the wind-down of this business segment.

On October 4, 2010, the Company acquired the international freight forwarding assets of Ferrara International Logistics, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“FIL”) pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Registrant and FIL dated October 4, 2010. The purchase price paid and to be paid under the terms of the Purchase Agreement consists of (i) cash in an amount equal to 70% of the annual actual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) achieved over the three 12-month periods following the Closing (the “Earn-Out Period”) from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets, and (ii) 1,714,286 restricted shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock valued at $600,000 based on the closing market price of the stock on October 1, 2010 (the “Share Allocation”), issued pursuant to an exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated there under. The Share Allocation is subject to decrease if actual EBITDA from revenues generated from the customers included in the purchased assets during the Earn-Out Period is below $2 million, and will be issued in three installments on October 4, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009

Revenue. Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was $26,433,994, as compared to $16,997,932 for the same period of fiscal 2010, a year-over-year increase of $9,436,062 or 55.5%. For the three months of fiscal 2010, revenue from the computer software business segment totaled $33,036. For the three months of fiscal 2011, transportation logistics accounted for all of the revenue and there was no revenue from the computer software business segment. The Company does not anticipate any future revenue from the computer software business segment. When compared to the prior year, the Company’s transportation logistics segment revenue increased by 55.8% to $26,433,994 for the first quarter of 2011 from $16,964,896 for the same period of fiscal 2010. This increase is mainly the result of the relative strengthening of the U.S. economy year-over-year, the consequent increase in ocean fright and airfreight shipping activity by existing customers between the two periods, and by new revenue from the FIL asset purchase acquisition. Net revenue (revenue minus forwarding expenses) in fiscal 2011 was $2,599,957, an increase of $718,876 (38.2%) as compared to net revenue of $1,881,081for the same period of fiscal 2010.

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. For the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and primarily because of the higher revenue base, forwarding expense increased by $8,750,222, or 58.0%, to $23,834,037 as compared to $15,083,815 for the same period of fiscal 2010. Forwarding expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 90.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, from 88.7% for the same period of fiscal 2010, a 1.5 percentage point increase. This percentage increase is principally the result of higher forwarding expense as a percentage of revenue on increased ocean freight volume from one of our largest customers as compared to the same period of fiscal 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense. For the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,525,220 (9.55% of revenue), and $1,942,133 (11.43% of revenue), respectively. This represents a year-over-year increase of $583,087, or 30.0%, primarily the result of new selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the FIL asset purchase acquisition of approximately $459,449 (includes $30,500 of amortization expense and $18,411 of one-time legal and professional transaction related costs) and the elimination this year of some of the payroll cutbacks made in the prior year resulting from the Company’s austerity program, during which personnel positions were eliminated and workweek reductions were implemented due to the lower volume of business in the prior year. Primarily because of the higher revenue base, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased by 16.45%, to 9.55% for the three months ended December 31, 2010 from 11.43% for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

Income (Loss) Before Taxes. Income before taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 improved by $77,584 to $28,947, as compared to a loss before taxes of ($48,637) for the same period of fiscal 2010.

Income Taxes. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was 70.4%. This differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to state and local income taxes of $6,500 net of federal benefit and non-deductible expenses. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2009 included state and local minimum taxes. Both fiscal periods reflect the U.S. federal statutory rate and applicable state income taxes.

Net Income (Loss). For the three months ended December 31, 2010, Janel’s net income improved by $58,607 to $8,570 from a loss of ($50,037) for the three months ended December 31, 2009. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2010 was $4,820, or $0.000 per diluted share, up $58,607 as compared to a net loss available to common shareholders of $(53,787), or $(0.003) per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2009.

liquidity and capital resources

General. Our ability to satisfy our liquidity requirements, which include satisfying our debt obligations and funding working capital, day-to-day operating expenses and capital expenditures depends upon our future performance, which is subject to general economic conditions, competition and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If we achieve significant near-term revenue growth, we may experience a need for increased working capital financing as a result of the difference between our collection cycles and the timing of our payments to vendors. Also, as a non-asset based freight forwarder, we do not have a need for significant capital expenditure.

Janel’s cash flow performance for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of future cash flow performance.

As of December 31, 2010, and compared with the prior fiscal year, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents declined by $139,430, or 10.3%, to $1,215,482 from $1,354,912, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2010, Janel’s net working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) decreased by $337,218, or 18.4%%, from $1,832,263 at September 30, 2010, to $1,495,046 at December 31, 2010. This decrease is entirely due to the $417,778 current portion of the related party note payable established for the earn-out associated with the FIL Purchase Agreement (refer to Note 4 to the Company’s Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report).

Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $351,023 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $146,949 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The change was principally driven by an increase in our net profit and collections of outstanding accounts receivable, which were partially offset by an increase in payments of outstanding accounts payable.

Cash flows from investing activities. Net cash used for investing activities, primarily capital expenditures for property and equipment, were $13,823 and $1,182 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash flows from financing activities. Net cash used for financing activities was $476,630 for the three months ended December 31, 2010, compared to $274,070 for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The cash used in financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2010, consisted primarily of the early repayment on October 4, 2010 of the $435,000 non-interest bearing note payable due under the July 2008 FIL asset purchase acquisition (refer to Note 3 to the Company’s Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report). The cash used in financing activities for fiscal year ended 2009, consisted primarily of repayments under the term and line note agreements with JPMorgan Chase Bank.

Community National Bank Borrowing Facility. On August 3, 2010, the Company’s Janel Group of New York, Inc. (“Janel New York”) subsidiary entered into a one year $3.5 million revolving line of credit agreement with Community National Bank (“CNB”). The new credit facility (the “CNB Facility”) replaces Janel New York’s previous term loan agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The interest rate of the CNB Facility is the prime rate plus 1%, with a minimum rate of 5%. Under the CNB Facility, Janel New York may borrow up to $3.5 million limited to 80% of the Company’s aggregate outstanding eligible accounts receivable. On August 3, 2010, $951,190 of the CNB Facility was used to pay off the outstanding balances under the term loan with JPMorgan Chase Bank. The CNB Facility is for a one year term, expiring on July 31, 2011, and obligations under the CNB Facility are secured by all of the assets of the Company, and are guaranteed by the Company and James N. Jannello, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. As of December 31, 2010, there were outstanding borrowings of $951,336 under the CNB Facility (which represented 43.5% of the amount available thereunder) out of a total amount available for borrowing under the CNB Facility of approximately $2,185,297.

Working Capital Requirements. The Company’s cash needs are currently met by the CNB Facility and cash on hand. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $1,233,961 available under its $3.5 million CNB Facility and $1,215,482 in cash from operations and cash on hand. We believe that our current financial resources will be sufficient to finance our operations and obligations (current and long-term liabilities) for the long and short terms. However, our actual working capital needs for the long and short terms will depend upon numerous factors, including our operating results, the cost associated with growing the Company either internally or through acquisition, competition, and the availability of a revolving credit facility, none of which can be predicted with certainty.

Current Outlook

Janel’s 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. The Company cannot accurately forecast many of these factors nor can the Company estimate accurately the relative influence of any particular factor and, as a result, there can be no assurance that historical patterns, if any, will continue in future periods.

Janel is progressing with the implementation of its business plan and strategy to grow its revenue and profitability for fiscal 2011 and beyond through other avenues. The Company’s strategy for growth includes plans to: open, as warranted, 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.

Certain elements of the Company’s growth strategy, principally proposals for acquisition, are contingent upon the availability of adequate financing at terms acceptable to the Company. The Company is continuing in its efforts to secure long-term financing, but has to date been unable to complete any such long-term financing transactions at terms it deems acceptable, and cannot presently anticipate when or if financing on acceptable terms will become available. Therefore, the implementation of significant aspects of the Company’s strategic growth plan may be deferred beyond the originally anticipated timing.

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, accruals for cargo insurance, and deferred income taxes. 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 more fully described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

A. Full-Service Cargo Transportation Logistics Management

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.

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 break bulk 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.”

B. Computer Software Sales, Support and Maintenance

The Company recognizes revenue, including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the provisions of the SEC’s Staff Accounting bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”), and EITF 00-21, Revenue Agreements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products and services are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet.

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

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure 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 us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), 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, Chief Operating 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 have concluded 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, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Janel is occasionally subject to claims and lawsuits which typically arise in the normal course of business. While the outcome of these claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the outcome of any of these legal matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Subsequent to the October 2007 acquisition of certain assets of Order Logistics, Inc. (“OLI”), a Delaware corporation, consisting principally of proprietary technology, office locations and personnel, and customer relationships, Janel learned that immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, OLI had entered into an undisclosed agreement with a third party (the “Settlement Agreement”) which permitted that party to use OLI proprietary technology and customer relationships being purchased by Janel, and to solicit OLI employees in its South Carolina office. Janel believes that OLI’s failure to disclose the Settlement Agreement prior to the closing of the asset acquisition was a material violation of the OLI covenants, representations and warrantees set forth in the October 18, 2007 Asset Purchase Agreement which has damaged the value of the assets acquired by Janel.

On February 11, 2008, Janel filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against defendants OLI (which changed its name to World Logistics Services, Inc. (“World Logistics”)), Richard S. Francis (“Francis”), the President of World Logistics, and Brian P. Griffin (“Griffin”), who was the Chief Executive Officer of World Logistics when Janel completed its October 2007 acquisition the OLI assets. Janel claimed that the defendants made false and misleading statements of material facts concerning the exclusivity of the rights to the assets which were offered and sold to Janel by having concealed and withheld the provisions of a settlement agreement with a third-party business associate and creditor made only two days before the closing of the asset sale, in which World Logistics agreed to the cancellation of a restrictive covenant which had prevented the creditor from using World Logistics proprietary computer software, or soliciting its list of valuable customers and employees. Janel claimed that the defendants violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws, committed common law fraud, breach of contract and other wrongdoing, with the specific intent to defraud Janel and obtain 285,000 shares of its newly authorized Class B convertible preferred stock, and more than $2,300,000 in payments by Janel of the defendants long overdue obligations to suppliers, creditors and tax authorities. In March 2010, Mr. Griffin and Janel entered into a settlement agreement in which Mr. Griffin withdrew all of his counterclaims against Janel, and agreed to provide both testimonial and documentary evidence as a witness for the Company. Janel withdrew all of its claims in the lawsuit against Mr. Griffin, and issued 489,750 shares of Janel’s Common Stock in April and May 2010, without additional consideration, to a limited list of persons formerly associated with World Logistics, not including Mr. Griffin. On November 15, 2010 Mr. Francis and Janel entered into a settlement agreement in which Mr. Francis withdrew all of his counterclaims against Janel and Janel withdrew all of its claims in the lawsuit against Mr. Francis, and issued 780,000 shares of Janel’s Common Stock plus cash consideration of $23,359 payable in six equal monthly installments to Mr. Francis. As a result, on November 23, 2010 the Janel lawsuit against World Logistics, Francis and Griffin was dismissed in its entirety.

On December 3, 2010 the former “CFO” of Janel filed a complaint alleging, among other things, discrimination by the Company. No damages were claimed in the complaint. The Company’s response to the complaint is due March 3, 2011. The Company intends to vigorously defend this claim.
