ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

Velocity Express Corporation (formerly known as United Shipping & Technology, Inc.) and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of providing same-day transportation and distribution/logistics services to individual consumers and businesses. The Company operates primarily in the United States with limited operations in Canada. The Company has not separately stated the revenues for its Canadian operations. The Company currently operates in a single-business segment.

On December 18, 2001, United Shipping & Technology, Inc. reincorporated in Delaware through a merger with and into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, Velocity Express Corporation. The merger was effective as of January 4, 2002 at which time United Shipping & Technology, Inc. ceased to exist as a separate corporate entity, and all of its assets and liabilities became the assets and liabilities of Velocity Express Corporation. The name of the Company was changed to Velocity Express Corporation.

Company Overview

The Company has one of the largest nationwide networks of customized, time-critical delivery solutions in the United States and is a leading provider of scheduled, distribution and expedited logistics services. Our customers are comprised of multi-location, blue chip customers with operations in the financial, healthcare, office products, technology, and energy sectors.

The Company’s service offerings are divided into the following categories:

•

Scheduled logistics consisting of the daily pickup and delivery of parcels with narrowly defined time schedules predetermined by the customer.

•

Distribution logistics consisting of the receipt of customer bulk shipments that are divided and sorted at major metropolitan locations and delivered into multiple routes with defined endpoints and more broadly defined time schedules.

•

Expedited logistics consisting of unique and expedited point-to-point service for customers with extremely time sensitive delivery requirements.

The largest customer base for scheduled logistics consists of financial institutions that need a wide variety of services including the pickup and delivery of non-negotiable instruments, primarily canceled checks and ATM receipts, the delivery of office supplies, and the transfer of inter-office mail and correspondence. Distribution logistics typically involves receiving bulk shipments from the customer and dividing and sorting them for delivery to specific locations. Customers utilizing distribution logistics normally include pharmaceutical wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers or other companies who must distribute merchandise every day from a single point of origin to many locations within a clearly defined geographic region. Most expedited logistics services occur within a major metropolitan area or radius of 40 miles, and the Company usually offers one-hour, two- to four-hour and over four-hour delivery services depending on the customer’s time requirements. These services are typically available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Expedited logistics services also include critical parts management and delivery for companies.

Acquisition and Integration of CEDS

Immediately after the acquisition of CEDS, the Company initiated various post-merger integration and consolidation initiatives. In fiscal 2000, the Company integrated CEDS’ management team into its own, resulting in the elimination of redundant positions and the realignment and “right sizing” of CEDS’ field management structure. Upon the completion of this integration, the Company then began divesting CEDS’ non-core air courier business operations, with the sale of one of the three acquired air courier operations in June 2000 and the closing or consolidation of unprofitable locations.

In fiscal 2001, the Company divested the second of the three non-core air courier operations in October 2000 and in the third quarter of fiscal 2001 announced the implementation of a multi-faceted restructuring program allowing it to accelerate the “right-sizing” of its operations. As a result, the Company streamlined and downsized its operations by reducing its workforce and consolidating various locations. The total charge associated with this restructuring program was $7.1 million consisting of severance costs of $2.2 million, $3.3 million for rental costs associated with the termination of building leases and location rationalization costs and $1.6 million for the write off of equipment.

In fiscal 2002, the Company divested its third air courier business operation in October 2001 and then focused its efforts on increasing the efficiency of its driver costs through the variable cost delivery model and its back office processes. In July 2001, Company began the transition to a variable cost delivery model using independent contractors and employee-owner operators in greater proportion to employee drivers. This transition resulted in improved insurance expense and improvement in overall driver and vehicle-related costs. During the same period the Company began integrating, through technology, all back office processes into one common platform, which allowed the Company to eliminate numerous redundant functions within its back office structure.

For further discussion regarding the impact these initiatives had on the operating performance of the Company, please see additional discussion in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section below.

Industry Overview

The Company operates in the same-day transportation and logistics industry, which includes scheduled and non-scheduled, same-day transportation of documents and packages in local and inter-city markets. The industry

also provides warehousing, facilities management and logistics solutions, as well as supply chain management and cross-dock and package aggregation services.

The Company believes the market for same-day transportation services is large and growing. Based on industry studies, the U.S. same-day transportation services market is estimated to generate revenues in excess of $20 billion per year. Although the market is large, it is highly fragmented. There are relatively low entry barriers in this market as the capital requirements to start a local courier business are relatively small and the industry is not subject to extensive regulation. The Company believes there are currently as many as 6,000 same-day transportation companies in the United States. Most are privately held and operate only on the local level. The focus is generally on operations, with little attention given to marketing and sales. Accordingly, the Company believes there is little perceived service differentiation between competitors, and that customer loyalty is generally short-term.

There are no dominant brands in the same-day transportation industry, and there is a relatively basic level of technology usage. By contrast, the next-day package delivery industry is highly consolidated and dominated by large, well-recognized companies such as UPS^® and Federal Express^®, both of which use technology extensively.

The Company expects that further growth in the same-day transportation market will be fueled by corporate America’s trend toward outsourcing and third-party logistics. Many businesses that outsource their distribution and logistics needs prefer to purchase such services from one source, capable of servicing multiple cities nationwide. Outsourcing decreases their number of vendors and also maximizes efficiency, improves customer service and simplifies billing. Customers are also seeking to reduce their cycle times and implement “supply chain management” and “just-in-time” inventory management practices designed to reduce inventory carrying costs. The growth of these practices has increased the demand for more reliable delivery and logistics services. The Company believes that same-day transportation customers increasingly seek greater reliability, convenience, and speed from a trusted package delivery provider. Customers are also seeking to streamline their processes, improve their customer-vendor relationships and increase their productivity. The Company believes it is the only national same-day transportation and logistics service provider with the geographic reach and national footprint to meet these evolving needs.

Regulation and Safety

The Company’s business and operations are subject to various federal, state, and local regulations and, in many instances, require permits and licenses from these authorities. The Company holds nationwide general commodities authority from the Federal Highway Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation to transport certain property as a motor carrier on an inter-state basis within the contiguous 48 states and, where required, holds statewide general commodities authority. The Company is also subject to regulation by the Federal Aviation Administration/Transportation Safety Administration for cargo shipments intended for transport on commercial airlines.

In connection with the operation of certain motor vehicles, the handling of hazardous materials in its delivery operations and other safety matters, including insurance requirements, the Company is subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the states. The Company is also subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, provincial occupational health and safety legislation and federal and provincial employment laws with respect to such matters as hours of work, driver logbooks and workers’ compensation. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all of these regulations. Failure to comply with the applicable regulations could result in substantial fines or possible revocations of one or more of the Company’s operating permits.

From time to time, the Company’s drivers are involved in accidents. The Company carries liability insurance with a per claim self-insured retention of $750,000. Owner-operators and independent contractors are

required to maintain auto liability insurance at amounts required by the Company. The Company also has insurance policies covering property and fidelity liability, which coverage includes all drivers. The Company reviews prospective drivers to ensure that they have acceptable driving records, and pass a criminal background and drug test.

Sales and Marketing

The Company has initiated a comprehensive sales and marketing program that emphasizes its competitive position as the leading national provider of same-day transportation services. The Company has also realigned its national accounts and logistics team, and restructured its field sales organization to effectively pursue growth opportunities. Sales efforts are conducted at both the local and national levels through the Company’s extensive network of local sales representatives. The Company employs 68 marketing and sales representatives who make regular calls on existing and potential customers to determine their ongoing delivery and logistics needs. Sales efforts are coordinated with customer service representatives who regularly communicate with customers to monitor the quality of services and quickly respond to customer concerns.

The Company’s sales department develops and executes marketing strategies and programs that are supported by corporate communications and research services. The corporate communications department also provides ongoing communication of corporate activities and programs to employees, the press and the general public. The expansion of the Company’s national sales program and continuing investment in technology to support expanding operations have been undertaken at a time when large companies are increasing their demand for delivery providers who offer a range of delivery services at multiple locations. As of the end of fiscal 2002, approximately 66 percent of the Company’s revenues come from customers with whom the Company has entered into contracts, which typically carry a term of one to three years.

Competition

The Company competes with a number of established, local, same-day couriers and messenger services. Competition in local markets is intense. Nationally, the Company competes with other large companies having same-day transportation operations in multiple markets. Although many of the Company’s competitors have substantial resources and experience in the same-day transportation business, the Company believes that its national presence, wide array of service offerings, use of sophisticated technology and branding strategy will allow it to successfully compete in any market in which it currently operates or may elect to enter.

There are also a number of national and international carriers who provide document and package shipment solutions to individuals and business customers. This market, which is dominated by major carriers such as UPS^{^®}, Federal Express^{^®}, Airborne^™, DHL^™ and the United States Postal Service, is also extremely competitive. However, these companies engage primarily in the next-day and second-day ground and air delivery businesses and operate by imposing strict drop-off deadlines and rigid package dimension and weight limitations on customers. By comparison, the Company operates in the same-day transportation business, and handles customized delivery needs on either a scheduled, distribution or expedited basis. Accordingly, the Company does not believe that it is in direct competition with these major carriers in same-day transportation services although there are no assurances that one of these entities might not enter its market.

Technology

The Company believes the integration of high-tech communications software within the currently low-tech same-day transportation business can provide a market differentiation between its services and those of its competitors. The Company believes customers will be attracted to companies with the ability to offer greater efficiency, service, and information through the use of technology. The Company plans to continue to use technology to manage and coordinate its dispatching, delivery, tracking, warehousing and logistics, and other back office functions in order to help its customers and itself operate more efficiently and cost-effectively. To

meet the customers’ needs for reliability, efficiency and speed, the Company has implemented and will continue to implement the following technology initiatives:

•

Smart package tracking technology which will provide a single source of aggregated delivery information to national customers;

•

A customer-oriented web portal for online information access to provide package tracking, chain-of-custody updates, electronic signature capture, and real-time proof of delivery retrieval; and

•

Route optimization software for large-market delivery efficiency

Trademarks

The Company currently has applications for trademarks and service marks (“marks”) in the United States and internationally, including but not limited to, Velocity Express^SM and Relentless Reliability^SM. There can be no assurance that any of these marks, if registered, will afford the Company protection against competitors with similar marks that may have a prior use date. In addition, no assurance can be given that others will not infringe upon the Company’s marks, or that the Company’s marks will not infringe upon marks and proprietary rights of others. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that challenges will not be instituted against the validity or enforceability of any mark claimed by the Company, and if instituted, that such challenges will not be successful.

Employees

As of June 29, 2002, the Company had approximately 2,389 employees, of whom approximately 823 primarily were employed in various management, sales, and other corporate positions and approximately 1,566 were employed as drivers and operations personnel. Additionally, the Company had contracts with approximately 3,557 independent contractor drivers in its delivery operations in North America. The Company believes that its relations with its employees are good and the Company is not a party of any collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Velocity is a party to litigation and has claims asserted against it incidental to its business. Most of such claims are routine litigation that involve workers’ compensation claims, claims arising out of vehicle accidents and other claims arising out of the performance of same-day transportation services. Velocity carries workers compensation insurance and auto liability coverage for its employees for the current policy year. Velocity and its subsidiaries are also named as defendants in various employment-related lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of the business of Velocity. The Company vigorously defends against all of the foregoing claims.

The Company has established reserves for litigation, which it believes, are adequate. The Company reviews its litigation matters on a regular basis to evaluate the demands and likelihood of settlements and litigation related expenses. Based on this review, the Company does not believe that the pending lawsuits, if resolved or settled unfavorably to the Company, would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s balance sheet or results of operations. The Company has managed to fund settlements and litigation expenses through cash flow and believes that it will be able to do so going forward. Settlements and litigation expenses have not had a material impact on cash flow and the Company believes they will not have a material impact going forward.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Pending Litigation and Claims

The Company’s statements above concerning pending litigation constitute forward-looking statements. Investors should consider that there are many important factors that could adversely affect the Company’s assumptions and the outcome of claims, and cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors include:

•

The Company has made estimates of its exposure in connection with the lawsuits and claims that have been made. As a result of litigation or settlement of cases, the actual amount of exposure in a given

case could differ materially from that projected. In addition, in some instances, the Company’s liability for claims may increase or decrease depending upon the ultimate development of those claims.

•

In estimating the Company’s exposure to claims, the Company is relying upon its assessment of insurance coverages and the availability of insurance. In some instances insurers could contest their obligation to indemnify the Company for certain claims, based upon insurance policy exclusions or limitations. In addition, from time to time, in connection with routine litigation incidental to the Company’s business, plaintiffs may bring claims against the Company that may include undetermined amounts of punitive damages. The Company is currently not aware of any such punitive damages claim or claims in the aggregate which would exceed 10% of its current assets. Such punitive damages are not normally covered by insurance.

PART II.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements and such differences may be material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, goodwill and intangible assets, insurance reserves, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

•

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make payments when due or within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Estimates are used in determining this allowance based on the Company’s historical collection experience, current trends, credit policy and a percentage of accounts receivable by aging category. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make required payments, additional allowances may be required.

•

Goodwill and Intangible Impairment

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in June 2001. Effective with fiscal 2002 as a result of adopting this new standard, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill. Rather, goodwill is subjected to impairment testing, which requires that the Company estimate the fair value of its goodwill and compare that estimate to the amount of goodwill recorded on the balance sheet. The estimation of fair value requires making judgments concerning future cash flows and appropriate discount rates. These cash flow estimates take into account current customer volumes and the expectation of new or renewed contracts, historic gross margins, historic working capital parameters and planned capital expenditures. The estimate of the fair value of goodwill could change over time based on a variety of factors, including the actual operating performance of the Company. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges for these assets.

•

Insurance Reserves

The Company maintains an insurance program with insurance policies that have deductibles as follows: $250,000 for workers’ compensation, $750,000 for automobile liability and $200,000 for employee 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.

•

Income Taxes

In determining the carrying value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets, the Company must assess the likelihood of sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions in order to realize the benefit of these assets. Management evaluates whether the deferred tax assets may be realized and assesses the need for additional valuation allowances or reduction of existing allowances. During the year ended June 29, 2002, the Company recorded $5.3 million of valuation allowances related to its net deferred tax assets.

•

Contingencies

As discussed in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and contingencies and has recorded liabilities for these matters in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. SFAS No. 5 requires a liability to be recorded based on the Company’s estimate of the probable cost of the resolution of a contingency. The actual resolution of these contingencies may differ from our estimates. If a contingency were settled for an amount greater than the estimate, a future charge to income would result. Likewise, if a contingency were settled for an amount that is less than the estimate, a future credit to income would result.

Historical Results of Operations

Quarter and Year ended June 29, 2002 Compared to Quarter and Year Ended June 30, 2001

Revenue for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 decreased $25.7 million or 24.1% to $81.0 million from $106.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in revenue for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 is primarily the result of the elimination by the Company of $21.0 million of low-margin business and the consolidation of unprofitable locations, and $4.7 million from the divesture of a non-core air courier business operation compared to the same period last year.

Revenue for the year ended June 29, 2002 decreased $129.0 million or 27.3% to $342.7 million from $471.7 million for the year June 30, 2001. The decrease in revenue for the year ended June 29, 2002 is primarily the result of the elimination by the Company of $96.4 million of low-margin business and the consolidation of unprofitable locations, and $32.6 million from the divesture of a non-core air courier business operation compared to the same period last year. Revenue by service offering for the year ended June 29, 2002 was as follows:

Scheduled logistics	53.2	%
Distribution logistics	23.4	%
Expedited logistics	23.4	%

Cost of services for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 was $61.4 million, a reduction of $24.7 million or 28.7% from $86.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Cost of services improved 4.9 percentage points as our costs as a percentage of revenue decreased from 80.7% to 75.8% for the quarter ended June 29, 2002. Approximately $20.9 million of the savings in cost of services correlates to the reduced revenue described above, including $4.0 million as a result of the divestiture of a non-core air courier business operation. Approximately $3.8 million relates to efficiencies gained as the Company continues to move to a variable cost model using independent contractors and employee-owner operators in greater proportion to employee drivers. This variable cost strategy has resulted in improved insurance expense and improvement in overall driver and vehicle-related costs. For example, at this time last year, the Company was funding $1.3 million per month in self-insurance risk for workers’ compensation and auto liability. Today, because of improvements, the Company funds the same risk for $0.5 million per month, a savings of $0.8 million per month. Cost of services as a percentage of revenue also improved 0.6 percentage points when comparing the results of the fourth quarter of 2002 to those of the third quarter of 2002.

Cost of services for the year ended June 29, 2002 was $264.8 million, a reduction of $112.7 million or 29.9% from $377.5 million for the year ended June 30, 2001. Cost of services improved 2.7 percentage points as our costs as a percentage of revenue decreased from 80.0% to 77.3% for the year ended June 29, 2002. Approximately $103.6 million of the savings in cost of services relates to the reduced revenue described above, including $26.7 million as a result of divesture of a non-core air courier business operation. Approximately $9.1 million relates to the Company’s continued efforts of moving to a variable cost model using independent contractors and employee-owner operators in greater proportion to employee drivers. This variable cost strategy has resulted in improved insurance expense and improvement in overall driver and vehicle-related costs. The improvement in the gross margin percentage was due to a 2.4 percentage point improvement in insurance expense resulting from focus on numerous safety initiatives and a 0.3 percentage point improvement in overall driver and vehicle-related costs resulting from the Company’s continued efforts of moving to a variable cost model using independent contractors and employee-owner operators in greater proportion to employee drivers.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 were $14.9 million or 18.4% of revenue, a reduction of $6.8 million or 31.3% as compared with $21.7 million or 20.4% of revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in SG&A for the quarter is a result of integrating, through technology, all back office processes into one common platform resulting in savings of approximately $4.8 million, the sale of a non-core air courier business operation of $0.5 million, and the impact of implementing SFAS No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, whereby the Company no longer amortizes

its goodwill resulting in savings of $1.5 million in amortization. This focus has enabled the Company to realize a year-over-year improvement of 2.0 percentage points. Compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2002, SG&A as a percentage of revenue improved by 0.5 percentage points.

SG&A expenses for the year ended June 29, 2002 were $63.0 million or 18.4% of revenue, a reduction of $37.9 million or 37.6% as compared with $100.9 million or 21.4% of revenue for the year ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in SG&A is the result of integrating, through technology, all back office processes into one common platform of approximately $27.0 million, the sale of a non-core air courier business operation of $4.8 million, and goodwill amortization savings of $6.1 million.

As compensation for structuring and finalizing the agreement between the Company and CEX, the Company issued common stock warrants in the first quarter of fiscal 2002. The fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.0 million and is included in other expense in the statement of operations.

Occupancy charges for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 were $3.0 million, a reduction of $0.8 million or 21.1% from $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. Occupancy charges for the year ended June 29, 2002 were $13.1 million, a reduction of $2.5 million or 16.0% from $15.6 million for the year ended June 30, 2001. The improvement for the quarter and the year is due to divestitures of a non-core air courier business operation, the consolidation of operating locations, and the closure of the former corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas.

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 decreased $0.8 million to $0.8 million from $1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower interest rates.

Interest expense for the year ended June 29, 2002 increased $6.3 million to $12.6 million from $6.3 million for the year ended June 30, 2001. Included in interest expense for the period are certain non-cash charges related to the conversion of the Series D Bridge Notes and interest thereon amounting to approximately $4.7 million as well as a non-cash charge of $4.0 million related to a long-term guarantee the Company received from its largest shareholder on two letters of credit supporting the Company’s revolving credit facility. Interest expense related to the Company’s borrowings decreased over the same period in the prior year as a result of lower interest rates.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the net income for the quarter ended June 29, 2002 was $0.9 million, compared with a net loss of $8.6 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, an improvement of $9.5 million or 110%.

The net loss for the year ended June 29, 2002 was $10.5 million, compared with $35.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, an improvement of $24.8 million or 70.3%. Had the effect of one-time non-cash interest charges of $9.1 million been excluded, net loss for the year ended June 29, 2002 would have been $1.4 million, compared with $35.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, which would have been an improvement of $33.9 million.

Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $20.4 million for the year ended June 29, 2002 as compared with $35.0 million for the year ended June 30, 2001. The difference between net loss applicable to common shareholders and net loss was comprised of non-cash charges associated with the Company’s redeemable preferred stock. With the elimination of the redemption features, the preferred stock is now classified as permanent equity, and the Company is no longer required to take charges of this nature.

Quarter and Year ended June 30, 2001 Compared to Quarter and Year Ended July 1, 2000

In comparing the results of fiscal 2001 to fiscal 2000, there are several factors to consider. Although fiscal 2001 contained two additional months of Velocity results compared with fiscal 2000, many consolidation and post-merger integration initiatives that were started in fiscal 2000 continued to be implemented throughout fiscal

2001. These initiatives included divestiture of specific non-core business operations at the end of fiscal 2000 and early in fiscal 2001, the closing of unprofitable locations, and the consolidation of other strategic locations. Additionally, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2001, a Company-wide restructuring program that included continued location and business rationalization as well as significant general and administrative cost savings measures was implemented.

Revenue for the year ended June 30, 2001 increased $0.6 million or 0.1% to $471.7 million from $471.1 million for the year ended July 1, 2000. Results of fiscal 2000 include the results of Velocity as of the August 1999 acquisition date and are inclusive of ten months rather than twelve months of activity as in fiscal 2001. Revenues year over year remained relatively flat despite the additional two months of activity in fiscal 2001 principally due to the Company’s ongoing efforts to rationalize its business going forward and to exit unprofitable markets. Furthermore, the Company realized lower revenues in fiscal 2001 as a result of certain operations that were sold at the end of fiscal 2000 and during the current year.

Revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, decreased $32.9 million or 23.6% to $106.7 million from $139.6 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2000. The decrease in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 is primarily the result of the following: (1) the loss of revenues from divesture of non-core business operations of approximately $19.5 million over the same quarter last year, (2) the closing or consolidation of unprofitable locations of approximately $8.0 million; and (3) adverse economic conditions resulting in lost revenue of approximately $5.5 million.

Cost of services for the year ended June 30, 2001 increased $12.6 million or 3.5% to $377.5 million from $364.9 million for the year ended July 1, 2000, and as a percentage of revenue, increased from 77.4% to 80.0%. The increase in cost of services resulted from increased costs associated with having twelve months of activity in fiscal 2001 compared to ten months in fiscal 2000 as well as from increased insurance costs compared to the prior year. The increase was offset by decreased costs resulting from the revenue decrease described above as certain of these costs are variable and follow the revenue level, as well as from decreased costs associated with operations that were sold as describe above.

Cost of services for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 decreased $22.3 million or 20.6% to $86.1 million from $108.4 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2000, and as a percentage of revenue, increased from 77.6% to 80.7%. The overall dollar decrease is consistent with the revenue trend discussed above, while the increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue is principally the result of increased insurance costs associated with the Company’s self-insurance program and an overall hardening in the insurance market.

SG&A expenses for the year ended June 30, 2001 were $116.4 million or 24.7% of revenue as compared with $129.6 million or 27.5 % of revenue for the year ended July 1, 2000, a decrease of $13.2 million or 10.2%. The decrease in SG&A, despite the additional two months of activity for Velocity in fiscal 2001, is the result of the Company’s cost-cutting initiatives in fiscal 2000 as well as the result of the restructuring programs initiated in the third quarter of fiscal 2001.

SG&A expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were $25.5 million or 23.9% of revenue as compared with $36.6 million or 26.2 % of revenue for the quarter ended July 1, 2000, a decrease of $11.1 million or 30.2%. The decrease in SG&A for the quarter is a result of the sale of various operations of $4.1 million, and the continued efforts by the Company to integrate the administrative functions of the Company of approximately $7.0 million.

The Company began implementing a multi-faceted restructuring program in March 2001 to allow it to achieve a cost structure to better position itself to achieve profitability in the ever-changing logistics and transportation marketplace. The Company has streamlined and downsized its operations by reducing its workforce and consolidating various locations. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has taken a restructuring charge of $7.1 million consisting of severance costs in the amount of $2.2 million related to the workforce

reduction of 234 full-time employees, $3.3 million for rental costs associated with the termination of building leases and location rationalization costs, and $1.6 million for the write off of equipment. As of June 30, 2001, approximately $4.8 million in costs have been charged against the reserve.

Interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2001 increased $1.1 million to $6.3 million from $5.3 million for the year ended July 1, 2000. The increase for the fiscal year is primarily due to twelve months of borrowings under the revolving note in fiscal 2001 compared to ten months of borrowings in fiscal 2000.

Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 decreased $0.5 million to $1.6 million from $2.1 million for the quarter ended July 1, 2000. The decrease for the quarter is principally attributable to lower interest rates and lower average borrowings under the Company’s revolving note.

As a result of the foregoing factors, the net loss for the year and quarter ended June 30, 2001, including one-time restructuring charges of $7.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, was $35.3 million and $8.6 million, respectively, compared with $28.2 million and $7.5 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2000.

Use of EBITDA

The Company evaluates operating performance based on several measures, including income (loss) applicable to common shareholders plus interest, income taxes, non-cash depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Company considers EBITDA an important indicator of the operational strength and performance of its business because EBITDA is used as an acceptable measurement in the Company’s industry and the Company believes this indicator gives investors and shareholders a benchmark to compare the Company’s results to both other industry competition as well as the Company’s historical results; however, EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance and is not intended to represent measures of performance in accordance with disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Furthermore, EBITDA presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Management believes that there is no limitation on its discretionary use of funds depicted by EBITDA.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company reported income from operations of $1.7 million as compared to a loss from operations of $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, an improvement of $9.2 million. Furthermore, the Company reported positive EBITDA of $3.0 million as compared to negative EBITDA of $3.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, an improvement of $6.9 million.

For the year ended June 29, 2002, the Company reported income from operations of $1.9 million as compared to a loss from operations of $29.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001. The Company also reported positive EBITDA of $6.8 million as compared to negative EBITDA of $17.3 million for the same period in fiscal 2001, an improvement of $24.1 million. These improvements are the result of the Company’s transition to a variable cost driver model, back office consolidation, and improvements to the balance sheet, which have been discussed above.

Cash flow used in operations was $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 as compared to $3.9 million in the prior year comparable period. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the use of funds was comprised of cash flow provided by operations of $2.3 million and cash flow consumed as a result of working capital changes of $6.7 million, while in fiscal 2001, the use of funds was comprised of cash flow used in operations of $6.4 million and cash flow provided as a result of working capital changes of $2.5 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company generated $2.9 million in working capital through the reduction of accounts receivable, while the implementation of the variable cost strategy has lowered the days required to fund accounts payable leading to a use of working capital of $2.9 million. The remaining use of working capital included

approximately $3.0 million for the funding of the Company’s self-insurance risk associated with workers’ compensation and auto liability insurance and settlement of pre-acquisition legal lawsuits, and $3.7 million for other accruals, including wages and benefits. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company generated $3.3 million in working capital through the reduction of accounts receivable and $1.7 million from increased accounts payable. The remaining use of working capital included approximately $3.2 million for the funding of the Company’s self-insurance risk associated with workers’ compensation and auto liability insurance and settlement of pre-acquisition legal lawsuits, offset by $0.7 million for other accruals, including wages and benefits.

Cash flow used as a result of investing activities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 was $1.3 million and consisted of capital expenditures used for the Company’s customer-driven technology solutions initiative and capitalized costs related to the integration of the back office. During the fourth quarter of 2001, cash flow provided as a result of investing activities was $2.6 million and consisted of proceeds from the sale of assets of $1.7 million and the settlement of a note receivable of $0.9 million.

Cash flow generated from financing activities in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 amounted to $4.9 million, compared to $3.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001. In fiscal 2002, the source of funds was primarily from the private placement of Series G Convertible Preferred Stock through which the Company raised net cash proceeds of approximately $4.1 million. Long-term debt and notes payable resulted in net cash flow of $0.8 million, comprised of $0.3 million paid for debt financing costs, and $1.1 million provided by the revolving credit facility. During the fourth quarter of 2001, cash flow from financing activities was mainly from long-term debt and notes payable resulting in cash flow of $3.2 million, including $3.7 million provided by the revolving credit facility, $0.4 paid against acquisition notes and $0.1 million paid for debt financing costs. Net proceeds from issuance of preferred stock related to $0.2 million received on the Series D subscription notes. For more information on long-term debt or equity, refer to Notes 7 and 8, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow used in operations was $9.8 million for fiscal 2002. This use of funds was comprised of cash flow provided by operations of $3.4 million and cash flow absorbed as a result of working capital changes of $13.2 million. The execution of the Company’s restructuring plan which was implemented in fiscal 2001, the integration, through technology, of all back office processes into one common platform, and the implementation of the variable cost strategy were the principal drivers in the change in working capital during fiscal 2002. During fiscal 2002 the Company has funded $3.9 million of its restructuring plans via the payment of severance costs and rental costs associated with the termination of building leases and location rationalizations. The Company generated $7.3 million in working capital through the reduction of accounts receivable, while the implementation of the variable cost strategy has lowered the days required to fund accounts payable leading to a use of working capital of $3.9 million. The remaining use of working capital during fiscal 2002 of $12.7 million included approximately $7.8 million for the funding of the Company’s self-insurance risk associated with workers’ compensation and auto liability insurance and settlement of pre-acquisition legal lawsuits, and $4.9 million for other accruals, including wages and benefits.

Cash flow used as a result of investing activities during fiscal 2002 was $3.8 million and consisted of capital expenditures of $4.9 million used for the Company’s customer-driven technology solutions initiative and capitalized costs related to the integration of the back office, offset by proceeds of $1.2 million, primarily from the sale of a non-core air courier business operation. The Company’s customer-driven technology solutions initiative is comprised of two elements: (i) smart package tracking technology which will provide a single source of aggregated delivery information to national customers, and (ii) a customer-oriented web portal for online information access to provide package tracking, chain-of-custody updates, electronic signature capture, and real-time proof of delivery retrieval. Management accelerated the implementation of this technology solutions initiative in order to meet the needs of its targeted national customers. This solution will provide the Company’s national customers with a single source of aggregated delivery information.

Cash flow generated from financing activities in fiscal 2002 amounted to $13.4 million during fiscal 2002. The primary source of cash during fiscal 2002 was the private placement of Series F and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock through which the Company raised net cash proceeds of approximately $11.3 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The exercise of stock options resulted in proceeds of $0.2 million. Long-term debt and notes payable resulted in a use of cash flow of $2.0 million during fiscal 2002, which included a $2.0 million payment made to CEX in connection with the finalization of all purchase price adjustments, $1.8 million paid for debt financing costs, and $1.7 million provided by the revolving credit facility. For more information on long-term debt or equity, please see Notes 7 and 8, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company reported operating income of approximately $1.9 million for fiscal 2002 and has positive working capital of approximately $21.2 million at June 29, 2002. In August 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price adjustments to the CEX merger agreement related to the acquisition of Velocity that resulted in an improvement to the balance sheet of $42.8 million.

The Company reviews the adequacy of its provision for bad debts on a regular basis, taking into consideration customer payment trends, accounts receivable balances that have been outstanding greater than 90 days, customer payment trends in the transportation sector, and the strength of the overall economy. As a result of these reviews, the Company noticed a deterioration in its customers’ payment practices in fiscal 2002 and increased its provision for bad debts to $2.3 million, an increase of $1.1 million over fiscal 2001’s year-end balance of $1.2 million.

In the short term, the Company intends to continue the execution of activities it previously initiated over the past 18 months to further improve the operating performance of the Company and to meet its fiscal 2003 financial plan. These activities include, but are not limited to, expanding the variable cost model using independent contractors and employee owner-operators in greater proportion to employee drivers, the implementation of customer-driven technology solutions and continued leveraging of the consolidated back office SG&A platform. Currently, the Company has sufficient cash to fund the fiscal 2003 operating plan as discussed above. If, however, the Company elects to accelerate its transition to a variable cost model using independent contractors and employee owner-operators as a result of continued increases in insurance and fuel costs or expands the implementation of its customer-driven technology solutions due to customer demands or competitive pressures as a result of continued softness in the economy, the Company may need to secure additional funding. If additional funding is required, the Company will continue to secure additional financing from its lenders or through the issuance of additional equity; however, there can be no assurance that such funding can be obtained.

In the long term, the Company intends to continue to fund its operations through the extension of its existing revolving credit and senior subordinated debt facilities. The revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital

Corporation, allows for borrowings under the revolving note limited to the lesser of $40 million or an amount based on a defined portion of receivables. Interest for the first year is payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 1.25% (6.0% at June 29, 2002). The Company may elect the rate of LIBOR plus 3% at its discretion in which case interest is payable at the end of a LIBOR advance period. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% on unused amounts of the total commitment, as defined in the agreement. The term of the facility is two years, ending January 2004. The Company’s accounts receivable have been pledged to secure borrowings under the revolving note. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants, the more significant of which include limitations on dividends, acquisitions, new indebtedness in excess of $0.5 million and changes in capital structure. The Company is also required to maintain financial covenants related to capital expenditures and maintaining of minimum availability levels. The senior subordinated note has interest payable quarterly at 12% per annum and is due September 30, 2004. The note is subordinate to the revolving note. The initial carrying value of the senior subordinated note was reduced by $1.7 million for the fair value of the common stock warrant issued to the senior subordinated lender. The unamortized discount was $0.7 million at June 29, 2002, and is being amortized over the remaining three-year life of the note. The warrant has an exercise price of $8.46 per share and entitles the holder to acquire, in whole or in part 534,939 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted to reflect certain anti-dilution rights as defined in the warrant purchase agreement. If additional funding is required as a result of working capital requirements due to business expansion or changes in working capital requirements, the Company will attempt to secure additional financing from its existing lenders through the expansion of these facilities or through the issuance of additional equity; however, there can be no assurance that such funding can be obtained.

Risk Factors

The Loss of Significant Customers Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Business. The Company’s contracts with its commercial customers typically have a term of one to three years, but are terminable upon 30 or 60 days notice. Although the Company has no reason to believe that these contracts will be terminated prior to the expiration of their terms, early termination of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company Could Face Significant Risks of Tax Authorities Classifying Independent Contractors as Employees. A significant number of the Company’s drivers are currently independent contractors (meaning that they are not its employees). From time to time, federal and state taxing authorities have sought to assert that independent contractor drivers in the same-day transportation and transportation industries are employees. The Company does not pay or withhold federal or state employment taxes with respect to drivers who are independent contractors. Although the Company believes that the independent contractors the Company utilize are not employees under existing interpretations of federal and state laws, the Company cannot guarantee that federal and state authorities will not challenge this position or that other laws or regulations, including tax laws and laws relating to employment and workers’ compensation, will not change. If the IRS were to successfully assert that the Company’s independent contractors are in fact its employees, the Company would be required to pay withholding taxes, extend additional employee benefits to these persons and could be required to pay penalties or be subject to other liabilities as a result of incorrectly classifying employees. If drivers are deemed to be employees rather than independent contractors, the Company could be required to increase their compensation since they may no longer be receiving commission-based compensation. Any of the foregoing possibilities could increase the Company’s operating costs and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent Terrorist Attacks Harmed The Company’s Business and May Harm Business in the Future. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and their aftermath have negatively impacted the logistics industry generally and the Company’s business specifically. Given the magnitude and unprecedented nature of the September 11 terrorist attacks, it is unclear what the long-term impact of these events will be on the logistics industry in general and on the Company’s business in particular. Additional terrorist attacks, the fear of such attacks or increased hostilities could further negatively impact the logistics industry and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company May Need Additional Capital if it Accelerates its Operating Plan. Achieving the Company’s financial goals involves the continued execution of activities initiated over the past 18 months, including expanding the variable cost model using independent contractors and employee owner-operators in greater proportion to employee drivers, the implementation of customer-driven technology solutions and continued leverage of the consolidated back office SG&A platform. In the event that the Company elects to accelerate these activities due to customer demands or competitive pressures, the Company may need to secure additional funding.

To date, the Company has primarily relied upon debt and equity investments to fund operations and growth. If its strategy requires additional funding, the Company will continue to seek the required additional financing from lenders or through the issuance of additional equity; however, there can be no assurance that this funding can be obtained.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Velocity Express Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Velocity Express Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity (deficit) for each of the three years in the period ended June 29, 2002. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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.

Since the date of completion of our audit of the accompanying financial statements and initial issuance of our report thereon dated September 4, 2002, the Company, as described in Note 13, has experienced negative cash flows from operations. The liquidity of the Company is dependent in part on its revolving credit facility which expires in January 2004. Note 13 describes management’s plans to address these issues.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Velocity Express Corporation and subsidiaries at June 29, 2002, and June 30, 2001, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 29, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in 2002.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Velocity Express Corporation (formerly known as United Shipping & Technology, Inc.) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are engaged in the business of providing same-day transportation and distribution/logistics services to individual consumers and businesses. The Company operates primarily in the United States with limited operations in Canada. The Company currently operates in a single-business segment and thus additional disclosures under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, are not required.

Reincorporation—On December 18, 2001, United Shipping & Technology, Inc. reincorporated in Delaware through a merger with and into its wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, Velocity Express Corporation. The merger was effective as of January 4, 2002 at which time United Shipping & Technology, Inc. ceased to exist as a separate corporate entity, and all of its assets and liabilities became the assets and liabilities of Velocity Express Corporation. The name of the Company was changed to Velocity Express Corporation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Velocity Express Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Fiscal Year

The Company’s fiscal year ends the Saturday closest to June 30^th. Each quarter consists of a 13-week period ending on a Saturday. In fiscal years consisting of 53 weeks, the final quarter will consist of 14 weeks. Fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 each consisted of 52 weeks.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the same-day transportation and distribution/logistics services is recognized when services are rendered to customers.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company places its cash with federally insured financial institutions. At times, such cash balances may be in excess of the federally insured limit. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the wide variety of customers to which the Company’s services are sold and the dispersion of those services across many industries and geographic areas. Further, the Company does not have any one customer that accounts for 10% or more of its revenues. The Company performs credit evaluation procedures on its customers and generally does not require collateral on its accounts receivable. An allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically based on management’s evaluation of collectibility, historical experiences, and other economic factors.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates market value.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company follows SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates potential impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the assets with the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with them. If an impairment exists, the Company measures the impairment utilizing discounted cash flows.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the business acquired and, prior to July 1, 2001, was being amortized on the straight-line basis. Effective July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill is no longer amortized over its useful life, but rather, must be tested for impairment annually, or more often if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill, as determined pursuant to the statement, exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company has one reporting unit for purposes of SFAS No. 142. The Company performed the annual impairment test, and no impairment was noted.

See Note 6, Goodwill, for effects of adoption of SFAS No. 142 in fiscal year 2002.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs relate to the cost incurred in the arrangement of the Company’s debt agreements and are being amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related debt.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes following the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. SFAS No. 109 requires that deferred income taxes be recognized for the future tax consequences associated with differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable earnings. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

Foreign assets and liabilities are translated using the year-end exchange rate. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the year. Translation gains or losses, net of applicable deferred taxes, are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Comprehensive Income

The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income reflects the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. For the Company, comprehensive income represents net income adjusted for foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income is disclosed in the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity.

Stock Plans and Awards

The Company follows Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, in accounting for its employee stock options. Pro forma net earnings and earnings per share are presented in Note 8 as if the Company had adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

Reverse Stock Split

On April 25, 2002, the Company effected a one-for-five reverse stock split, which resulted in the automatic conversion of five shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock into one share of Common Stock. For Preferred Stock, options and warrants outstanding, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon the exercise of such options, warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the conversion of Preferred Stock, and the per share exercise or conversion prices thereof, have been adjusted appropriately to give effect to the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split affected all stockholders equally resulting in each shareholder owning a reduced number of shares of Common Stock but the same percentage of the outstanding shares, except for adjustments for fractional interests that resulted from the reverse stock split. Any fractional share interest resulting from the reverse stock split was rounded upward to the nearest whole share. Following the reverse stock split, each share of Common Stock resulting from the reverse stock split entitled the holder thereof to one vote per share and was otherwise identical to the outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split did not affect the par value of the Common Stock and had no impact on total shareholders’ equity. All share and per share information has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. This statement develops one accounting model (based on the model in SFAS No. 121) for long-lived assets to be disposed of, expands the scope of discontinued operations and modifies the accounting for discontinued operations. The adoption of this statement beginning fiscal 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires recording costs associated with exit or disposal activities at their fair values when a liability has been incurred. Under previous guidance, certain exit costs were accrued upon management’s commitment to an exit plan. The adoption of this statement in fiscal 2003 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. ACQUISITION

Effective August 28, 1999, the Company acquired from CEX Holdings, Inc. (“CEX”) all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Velocity Express, Inc. (“Velocity”), formerly known as Corporate Express Delivery Systems, Inc., a provider of same-day delivery solutions. The acquisition purchase price, which was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, was approximately $91.2 million, subject to adjustment as defined in the merger agreement. The purchase price consisted of $43 million in cash provided by an institutional debt financier and an investment firm, and $19.5 million in a combination of short and long-term notes issued to CEX. The Company, as a result of the acquisition, received approximately $86.6 million of Velocity’s assets and assumed approximately $115.3 million of Velocity’s liabilities, which resulted in the Company recognizing approximately $91.2 million in goodwill. The results of Velocity’s operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since August 28, 1999.

On August 2, 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price adjustments to the CEX merger agreement related to the acquisition of Velocity. The purchase price adjustments provide for the discharge of certain pre-acquisition insurance liabilities, principally the amount of the accruals necessary for workers’ compensation and auto insurance reserves of approximately $13.5 million as well as certain other adjustments including litigation and customer loss accruals, which had the impact of reducing specific liabilities by approximately $12.0 million. Additionally, under the terms of the settlement regarding the purchase price, the Company was no longer liable for the convertible subordinated note to CEX in the amount of $3.6 million, the long-term subordinated note to CEX of $6.5 million, the short-term subordinated note to CEX of $4.4 million and the accrued interest related to the notes of approximately $2.8 million. The purchase price adjustments totaling approximately $42.8 million were recorded as an offset to the goodwill in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2002. In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company finalized all purchase price adjustments associated with the amendment to the merger agreement resulting in a reduction in the previously reported adjustment to goodwill of approximately $3.1 million. In conjunction with the agreement pertaining to the purchase price adjustments, the Company issued a five-year common stock warrant for 400,000 shares at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrants were issued for services rendered by two outside consultants, one of whom subsequently was appointed Chairman of the Board of the Company. The fair value of the warrants amounted to approximately $1.0 million and is included in other expense in the statement of operations. The fair value was determined on date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming expected volatility of 121%, a risk-free interest rate of 4%, and an expected life of five years.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values.

4. RESTRUCTURING

In connection with the acquisition of Velocity, management implemented a plan to involuntarily terminate approximately 100 employees and to consolidate certain facilities. Approximately $3.9 million in anticipated costs relating to such items was included in the acquisition cost allocation. As of June 29, 2002, approximately

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

$3.7 million in costs (primarily related to severance payments and lease terminations) has been charged against the reserve and no amounts related to such plan have been included in the determination of net loss for the year.

In fiscal 2001, the Company took a restructuring charge of $7.1 million consisting of $2.2 million related to severance costs associated with a workforce reduction of 234 full-time employees, $3.3 million for rental costs associated with the termination of building leases and location rationalization costs, and $1.6 million for the write-off of equipment. As of June 29, 2002, $7.1 million in costs have been charged against the reserve.

5. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment consist of the following:

	June 29, 2002			June 30, 2001
	(Amounts in thousands)
Land	$	194		$	194
Buildings and leasehold improvements		1,144			805

		23,586			18,895
Less accumulated depreciation		(12,616	)		(10,053	)

Total	$	10,970		$	8,842

6. GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible assets acquired in business combinations. Management periodically reviews goodwill for impairment and assesses whether significant events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recorded in the period such determination is made. Accumulated amortization at June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001 was $9.4 million. Effective with fiscal 2002, the Company has adopted SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and therefore no longer amortizes goodwill.

A reconciliation of previously reported net loss and net loss per share to the amounts adjusted for the goodwill amortization is as follows:

	June 29, 2002			June 30, 2001			July 1, 2000
	(Amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

On January 25, 2002, the Company entered into a new revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, which replaced the credit facility with GE Capital. Borrowings under the revolving note are limited to the lesser of $40 million or an amount based on a defined portion of receivables. Interest for the first year is payable monthly at a rate of prime plus 1.25% (6.0% at June 29, 2002). The Company may elect the rate of LIBOR plus 3% at its discretion in which case interest is payable at the end of a LIBOR advance period. Further, the Company has the ability to lower these margins by 0.50% over the remainder of the agreement provided it meets certain conditions as defined in the agreement. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.375% on unused amounts of the total commitment, as defined in the agreement. The term of the new facility is two years, ending January 2004.

In exchange for a long-term guarantee to provide additional collateral support under the revolving note during the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company agreed to compensate its largest investor by reducing the conversion prices of the Series B and Series C Preferred. In conjunction with the conversion price amendment, the Company recognized a $4.0 million charge, representing the fair value of the benefit received by the investor as a result of the reduction of the conversion prices, which was recorded as non-cash interest expense.

The senior subordinated note has interest payable quarterly at 12% per annum and is due September 30, 2004. The note is subordinate to the revolving note. The initial carrying value of the senior subordinated note was reduced by $1.7 million for the fair value of the common stock warrant issued to the senior subordinated lender. The unamortized discount was $0.7 million at June 29, 2002, and is being amortized over the remaining term of

the note. The warrant has an exercise price of $8.46 per share and entitles the holder to acquire, in whole or in part, 534,939 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted to reflect certain anti-dilution rights as defined in the warrant purchase agreement.

In August 2001, the Company completed certain purchase price adjustments to the CEX merger agreement whereby the convertible subordinated note, the long-term subordinated note, and the short-term subordinated note along with all accrued interest thereon, totaling approximately $14.5 million of notes and $2.8 million of accrued interest, were terminated. For additional information regarding the settlement with CEX, see Note 3.

The Company entered into a bridge loan agreement dated January 4, 2001, and a supplemental bridge loan agreement dated January 31, 2001 (collectively, the “Bridge Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company received $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The indebtedness was represented by promissory notes, payable on July 4, 2001, bearing interest at a rate of 18% per annum (the “Bridge Notes”), which were convertible at the option of the lender into 909,090 shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred at an exercise price of $5.50 per share pursuant to the Bridge Loan Agreement, upon shareholder approval of the conversion. In September 2001, shareholders approved the conversion, and the Bridge Notes and accrued interest thereon were converted to Series D Preferred.

The Company entered into note purchase agreements in connection with the issuance of promissory notes convertible into shares of Series D Preferred (the “Subscription Notes”). During March and April 2001, the Company sold Subscription Notes convertible into 624,906 shares of Series D Preferred to accredited investors for an aggregate $5.0 million. Each Subscription Note was converted into shares of Series D Preferred at an effective purchase price of $8.00 per share of Series D Preferred pursuant to the Subscription Notes, upon shareholder approval, which was obtained in September 2001.

The Company’s accounts receivable have been pledged to secure borrowings under the revolving note. The Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants, the more significant of which include limitations on dividends, acquisitions, new indebtedness in excess of $0.5 million and changes in capital structure. The Company is also required to maintain financial covenants related to capital expenditures and maintaining of minimum availability levels.

Redemption Rights Waivers

In December 2001, the Company reached agreements with the holders of each series of its then outstanding Preferred stock pursuant to which such holders waived their rights to the cash redemption features of their respective series of Preferred stock. These waivers allowed the Company to reclassify the Preferred stock into shareholders’ equity. The Preferred shareholders did not receive any consideration in exchange for providing these waivers.

Series G Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2002, the Company issued 5,865,331 shares of Series G Preferred for net proceeds of $4.1 million. The initial conversion price of the Series G Preferred was $3.75, and, at the time of issuance, each share of Series G Preferred was convertible, upon shareholder approval, into 0.2 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the conversion price and the number of common shares into which the Series G is convertible are subject to adjustment in order to prevent dilution. Series G Preferred shareholders must wait at least 180 days from the date of the issuance of the shares before requesting registration rights.

Series F Convertible Preferred Stock

During fiscal 2002, the Company issued 1,072,752 shares of Series F Preferred for net proceeds of approximately $11.3 million. The initial conversion price of the Series F Preferred was $2.75, and, at the time of issuance, each share of Series F Preferred was convertible into four shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the conversion price and the number of common shares into which the Series F is convertible are subject to adjustment in order to prevent dilution. The Company also issued warrants to purchase 360,128 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $3.60 per share in connection with these sales. The warrants expire between July and November of 2006. The fair value of the warrants as determined by an outside independent appraiser was determined to be approximately $0.3 million and was charged to accumulated deficit. At June 29, 2002, 1,066,390 shares of Series F Preferred are outstanding.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

During fiscal 2002 at a special shareholders’ meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the conversion of the Bridge Notes and the Subscription Notes (Note 7) that the Company entered into in fiscal 2001 into shares of Series D Preferred, resulting in the issuance of 1,642,444 shares of Series D Preferred. As a result of the conversion, the Company recorded a $4.7 million non-cash interest charge. The initial conversion price of the Series D Preferred was $4.00, and, at the time of issuance, each share of Series D Preferred was convertible into two shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the conversion price and the number of common shares into which the Series D is convertible are subject to adjustment in order to prevent dilution.

The Company’s Series D Preferred that resulted from the conversion of the subscription notes was deemed to have contained beneficial conversion features that were recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders. The value of the proceeds allocated to the beneficial conversion feature was $2.7 million and was recognized as a return to the preferred shareholders at the date of shareholder approval since the Series D Preferred was immediately convertible.

In connection with the Bridge Loan Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 216,533 shares of Series D Preferred at a purchase price of $0.01 per share (the “Bridge Warrants”). The warrants expire January 3, 2006. The fair value of the Bridge Warrants as determined by an outside independent appraiser was determined to be approximately $0.9 million and was allocated from the value received from the Series D Bridge Notes.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In fiscal 2001, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements in connection with the sale of Series D Preferred. The Company sold 252,429 shares of Series D Preferred at $8.00 per share for approximately $2.0 million.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

In September 2000, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series C Preferred”) at $6.00 per share for total proceeds of $12.0 million and the cancellation of two warrants issued in connection with the Series B Preferred. The initial conversion price of the Series C Preferred was $30.00, and, at the time of issuance, each share of Series C Preferred was convertible into 0.20 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the conversion price and the number of common shares into which the Series C is convertible are subject to adjustment in order to prevent dilution.

In connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred the Company issued warrants to purchase 825,484 shares of Series C Preferred at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Series C Warrants”). The warrants expire September 1, 2005. The fair value of the Series C Warrants as determined by an outside independent appraiser was determined to be approximately $3.5 million and was allocated from the value received from the Series C Preferred Stock. The $2.7 million remaining fair value received for the Series C Preferred in excess of the Series C Preferred redemption value and the Series C Warrants was recorded as additional paid-in capital.

Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2000, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 2,806,797 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) at a price of $9.00 per share for a total of approximately $25.3 million. Three separate warrants were issued to the Series B Preferred shareholders subject to approval at a special meeting of shareholders in August 2000. The fair value of the warrants issued with the Series B Preferred was allocated from the carrying amount of the Series B Preferred to the respective warrants at the August 2000 measurement date. The initial conversion price of the Series B Preferred was $45.00, and, at the time of issuance, each share of Series B Preferred was convertible into 0.20 shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the conversion price and the number of common shares into which the Series B is convertible are subject to adjustment in order to prevent dilution.

The Company agreed to issue with the preferred shares three warrants upon the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The terms of the three warrants were as follows:

•

A warrant to purchase the number of shares of Series B Preferred equal to an aggregate of $30 million divided by the 45-day average closing sales price of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the date of exercise. The fair value of this warrant as determined by an outside independent appraiser was determined to be approximately $4.4 million at the date of shareholder approval. In exchange for the Series C Warrants, the Company subsequently canceled this warrant.

•

A warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 452,901 shares of Series B Preferred at an exercise price of $9.00 per share, subject to adjustment in order to prevent dilution. The fair value of this preferred warrant as determined by an outside independent appraiser was determined to be approximately $0.6 million at the date of shareholder approval. In exchange for the Series C Warrants, the Company subsequently canceled this warrant.

•

A warrant to purchase an aggregate of 85,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant becomes exercisable on a pro rata basis in the event and to the extent that any of the 600,000 options granted under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan are exercised. The exercise price is equal to the

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

lowest exercise price of the initially approved 2000 Plan options, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. The fair value of this warrant as determined by an outside independent appraiser was determined to be approximately $0.4 million at the date of shareholder approval. The warrant expires on May 31, 2004.

In September 2000, two of the warrants issued to the Series B Preferred shareholders were exchanged as partial consideration for the Series C Preferred. The remaining outstanding warrant issued with the Series B Preferred provides for the purchase of an aggregate of 85,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant becomes exercisable on a pro rata basis in the event and to the extent that any of the 3,000,000 options granted under the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (“2000 Plan”) are exercised. The exercise price is equal to the lowest exercise price of the initially approved 2000 Plan options, subject to adjustment to prevent dilution. The warrant expires on May 31, 2004.

The Company’s Series B Preferred was deemed to have contained beneficial conversion features that were recognized as a deemed dividend to preferred shareholders. The value of the proceeds allocated to the beneficial conversion feature was approximately $3.5 million and was recognized in fiscal 2000 as a return to the preferred shareholders at the date of issuance since the Series B Preferred is immediately convertible.

Preferred Warrants

In connection with the redemption rights waivers that the Company obtained from the preferred shareholders in December 2001, the Series C and Series D warrants were adjusted to their market values at December 14, 2001. The adjustments amounted to $3.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the Series C and Series D warrants, representing the change in fair value of the warrants as determined by an outside independent appraiser from September 29, 2001 to December 14, 2001, and were recorded as charges to accumulated deficit. The charges resulted in carrying amounts of $4.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, at June 29, 2002.

In fiscal 2001, in accordance with EITF 00-19, prior to their reclassification to permanent equity, the Series B and Series C warrants were adjusted to their market values as of the year-end reporting date. The adjustments, $(2.3) million and $3.2 million, respectively, represent the changes in the fair values of the warrants as determined by an outside independent appraiser from the measurement dates to the reporting date. The net change was recorded as an increase in the carrying values of the warrants and a reduction to accumulated deficit.

All the Company’s convertible preferred stock and the related warrants are subject to adjustments to prevent dilution.

Common stock

During fiscal 2002, the Company issued 25,448 shares of common stock as a result of shareholder conversions of Series F Preferred and 152,787 shares of common stock as a result of shareholder conversions of Series D Preferred.

In May 2001 pursuant to a settlement agreement dated June 20, 2000 between the Company and a former employee, the Company issued 100,000 shares of its common stock in connection with the settlement of certain litigation. Previously, in August 2000, the Company issued 20,000 shares of its common stock in connection with this settlement. Shares issued pursuant to the settlement agreement were issued at their fair value at the time of issuance.

In fiscal 2002, the Company issued four non-qualified stock options outside of the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan to four employees for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $6.25 per share.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

In fiscal 2001, the Company issued three non-qualified stock options outside of the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan to three employees for the purchase of 95,000 shares of common stock at purchase prices ranging from $17.66 to $19.78 per share.

In fiscal 2000, the Company issued two non-qualified stock options outside of the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan to an employee for the purchase of 65,000 shares of common stock at purchase prices ranging from $24.75 to $54.38 per share.

In accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company continues to elect to utilize APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the options granted and shares sold pursuant to the purchase plan as prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000:

	2002			2001			2000
	*(In thousands, except per* *share amounts)*
Net loss applicable to common shareholders:
As reported	$	(20,357	)	$	(35,022	)	$	(31,720	)

Pro forma	$	(20,766	)	$	(43,248	)	$	(36,799	)

Basic and diluted loss per common share:
As reported	$	(5.82	)	$	(10.51	)	$	(11.37	)

Pro forma	$	(5.93	)	$	(12.98	)	$	(13.19	)

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions for the fiscal years shown:

	2002		2001		2000
Expected dividend yield	0	%	0	%	0	%
Expected stock volatility	115	%	121	%	134	%
Risk-free interest rate	2.5	%	4.0	%	6.2	%
Expected life of options	3		5		5

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. Under the forgoing assumptions, the weighted-average fair value of each option granted during fiscal year 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $3.95, $7.95 and $41.35, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding by dividing net income or loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other obligations to issue common stock such as options, warrants or convertible preferred stock,

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

were exercised or converted into common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. For all periods presented, diluted net loss per share is equal to basic net loss per share because the effect of including such securities or obligations would have been antidilutive.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000:

At June 29, 2002, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes of approximately $89.4 million, which expire 2005 through 2022. Usage of a portion of the losses may be limited pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

The change in the valuation allowance was an increase of $5.3 million, $17.8 million and $12.4 million in fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and resulted principally from net operating loss carry forwards.

The Company leases equipment, vehicles, and buildings under non-cancelable leases. Future minimum lease commitments under non-cancelable leases as of June 29, 2002 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Fiscal year:
2003		$12,900
2004		10,045
2005		4,363
2006		2,119

Thereafter		536

		$30,864

Rent expense was $16.5 million, $23.1 million and $29.4 million during the years ended June 29, 2002, June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively.

Automobile and Workers’ Compensation Liabilities

The Company is partially self-insured for automobile, workers’ compensation and cargo claims. The Company has elected to retain a portion of expected losses through the use of deductibles. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based upon the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liability for

claims incurred. These estimates include the Company’s actual experience based on information received from the Company’s insurance carriers and historical assumptions of development of unpaid liabilities over time. The Company pre-funds this estimated liability on a monthly basis based upon actuarial loss projections. As of June 29, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the Company has deposits recorded of $11.9 million and $13.0 million, respectively.

The Company has established reserves for automobile and workers’ compensation liabilities, which it believes, are adequate. The Company reviews these matters, internally and with outside brokers, on a regular basis to evaluate the likelihood of losses, settlements and litigation related expenses. The Company has managed to fund settlements and expenses through cash flow and believes that it will be able to do so going forward. There have not been any losses that have differed materially from the accrued estimated amounts.

Litigation

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of their business. The Company determined the size of its legal reserve with respect to these matters in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles based on management’s estimate of the most likely liability. In the opinion of management, none of these legal proceedings or claims is expected to have a material effect upon the Company’s financial position or results of operations. However, the impact on cash flows might be material in the periods such claims are settled and paid.

11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has defined contribution retirement plans (the “Plans”) in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All full-time employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plans. Company contributions to these plans are discretionary. The Company made no matching contribution for fiscal 2002, and contributed $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the fiscal years 2001 and 2000, respectively.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into service agreements with MCG Global, LLC and its related entities (“MCG”). Vincent A. Wasik, currently a shareholder and Chairman of the Board of the Company, is an owner and principal of MCG, although he was neither a shareholder nor Chairman of the Board at the time the initial service agreement was entered into. Under the agreements, MCG has provided services in connection with the Company’s business that include the following matters: (1) management and consulting assistance with operations, debt structure, vendors and contractual obligations; (2) negotiation and settlement of the Company’s rights and obligations under the September 24, 1999 Merger Agreement under which the Company acquired Velocity; (3) assistance with all aspects of the Company’s replacement of its Senior Revolving Credit Facility held by GE Capital Corporation and mezzanine debt facility held by Bayview Capital Partners LP; and (4) services in connection with the Company’s centralization of data platforms, cash and lock-box management, consolidation of back office functions, technology initiatives and strategic planning. The Company granted a total of 245,000 warrants to purchase common stock. 200,000 of the warrants are five-year common stock warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, assuming expected volatility of 121%, a risk-free interest rate of 4%, and expected life of five years. The remaining 45,000 warrants are five-year warrants, having an exercise price of $8.10 per share, and were priced at fair market value on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq system. Cash and warrant-based compensation for these services amounted to $1.8 million in fiscal 2002.

VELOCITY EXPRESS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

One of the Company’s former board members is a partner in the senior subordinated note lender. During fiscal 2000, in addition to the lender providing debt financing of $5.0 million for the Velocity acquisition, the former board member and other partners in the senior subordinated note lender collectively purchased 4,731 shares of the Company’s common stock and received 475 warrants at an exercise price of $62.50 per share. Proceeds from the sale of common stock were approximately $0.1 million. These transactions were valued at the fair value of the Company’s warrants and stock at the time of the transactions.

During fiscal 2000, the Company sold its Midnite Express operations to an employee of the Company. The employee resigned from the Company at the time of the sale. The Company received proceeds from the sale of approximately $1.6 million, which consisted of approximately $1.4 million in notes receivable and $0.2 million in cash, the fair value allocated as a result of purchase accounting for the Velocity acquisition. At June 30, 2001, the balance of the receivable was $0.2 million and was included with Other Assets.

13. CASH REQUIREMENTS

The Company has experienced negative cash flow from operations amounting to approximately $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2003. At the same time, the Company has continued to execute on its operating plan to improve the operating c performance by expanding the variable cost model using independent contractors and employee owner-operators rather than employee drivers, by the use of technology to improve utilization of resources to meet customer-driven demands and the continued leveraging of personnel to eliminate SG&A expenses. These efforts have resulted in a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $3.4 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2003, as compared to a net loss of $21.3 million for the prior year comparable period.

In the past, the Company has been successful in obtaining additional funding through the issuance of additional equity; however, its continued ability to meet future cash requirements is dependent in part on its success in renewing the revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation which expires in January 2004 or negotiating a new replacement facility with other sources. In anticipation of the expiration date of the facility, the Company is currently engaged in activities to extend the facility beyond January 2004 as well as the pursuit of other sources of additional financing from lenders or additional issuances of equity; however, there can be no assurance that such extension of the current facility or alternative sources of funding can be arranged.
