"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On June&amp;#160;12, 2009, we acquired the
operating subsidiaries of Walker Logistics Overseas, Ltd.
(&amp;#8220;Walker&amp;#8221;). Walker is a leading international freight
forwarder headquartered in London. Walker is a global, fully
integrated import and export door-to-door provider specializing in
air freight, ocean freight, warehousing, courier, and logistics
solutions. Its customers are primarily in electronics,
telecommunications, medical, sporting goods, and military
industries. The majority of their revenues are from air and ocean
freight.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The acquisition of Walker fit one of our
key strategic initiatives to continue to build our global
forwarding network. The Walker acquisition strengthens our position
in the United Kingdom and builds additional airfreight
capabilities. This acquisition also gives us increased exposure to
the Asia-European Union trade lane. This acquisition added less
than $0.01 to our diluted earnings per share for the quarter and
did not have a material impact on our results of operations or our
financial position.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

and restricted stock awards. Awards that expire or are cancelled
without delivery of shares generally become available for issuance
under the plans.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stock Options&amp;#8212;&lt;/b&gt;The
contractual lives of all options as originally granted are ten
years. Options vested over a five-year period from the date of
grant, with none vesting the first year and one quarter vesting
each year after that. Recipients are able to exercise options using
a stock swap which results in a new, fully-vested restoration
option with a grant price established based on the date of the
swap&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;and a remaining
contractual life equal to the remaining life of the original
option. Options issued to non-employee directors vest immediately.
The fair value per option is established using the Black-Scholes
option pricing model, with the resulting expense being recorded
over the vesting period of the award. Other than restoration
options, we have not issued any new stock options since 2003. As of
June&amp;#160;30, 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation expense
related to stock options since all outstanding options were fully
vested.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Restricted Stock Awards&amp;#8212;&lt;/b&gt;We
have awarded performance-based restricted shares and restricted
units to certain key employees and non-employee directors. These
restricted shares and restricted units are subject to certain
vesting requirements over a five-year period, based on the
operating performance of the company. The awards also contain
restrictions on the awardees&amp;#8217; ability to sell or transfer
vested shares or units for a specified period of time. The fair
value of these shares is established based on the market price on
the date of grant, discounted for post-vesting holding
restrictions. The discounts have varied from 12 percent to 22
percent and are calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. Increased stock price volatility is the primary reason that
the discount increased. These grants are being expensed based on
the terms of the awards.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;We have also awarded to certain key
employees restricted shares and units that vest primarily based on
continued employment. The value of these awards is established by
the market price on the date of the grant and is being expensed
over the vesting period of the award.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;As of June&amp;#160;30, 2009, there was
unrecognized compensation expense of $119.3 million related to
previously granted restricted equity. The amount of future expense
will be based primarily on company performance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;We have also issued to certain key
employees restricted shares and units which are fully vested upon
issuance and contain restrictions on the awardees&amp;#8217; ability to
sell or transfer vested shares and units for a specified period of
time. The fair value of these shares is established using the same
method discussed above. These grants have been expensed during the
year they were earned by employees.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Employee Stock Purchase
Plan&amp;#8212;&lt;/b&gt;Our 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan allows our
employees to contribute up to $10,000 of their annual cash
compensation to purchase company stock. Purchase price is
determined using the closing price on the last day of the quarter,
discounted by 15 percent. Shares are vested immediately. Employees
purchased approximately 50,000 shares of our common stock at an
aggregate cost of $2.2 million during the quarter ended
June&amp;#160;30, 2009. The 15 percent discount resulted in an expense
to the company of approximately $392,000 during the
quarter.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;We adopted SFAS No.&amp;#160;157 as of
January&amp;#160;1, 2008. This standard defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No.&amp;#160;157 establishes a valuation
hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to measure
fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad
levels as follows. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs
are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3
inputs are unobservable inputs based upon our own assumptions used
to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset
or liability&amp;#8217;s classification within the hierarchy is
determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant
to the fair value measurement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gender Discrimination
Lawsuit&amp;#8212;&lt;/b&gt;As we previously disclosed, certain gender
discrimination class claims were settled in 2006. The settlement
was within our insurance coverage limits, and was fully funded by
insurance.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Although the gender class settlement was
fully funded by insurance, those insurers reserved the right to
seek a court ruling that a portion of the settlement was not
covered under their policies, and also to dispute payment of
certain defense costs incurred in that litigation. Insurance
coverage litigation between us and one of our insurance carriers
concerning these issues and insurance coverage for individual
lawsuits that were not part of the class settlement has been
pending in Minnesota State Court. Recent court rulings have
determined that the gender class settlement payment was
appropriately covered under applicable policies, and that the
insurance carrier has a duty to reimburse reasonable defense costs
in the gender class action in all but two of the individual
lawsuits. This ruling is being appealed by the insurance
carrier.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;The settlement of the gender
discrimination class claims did not include claims of putative
class members who subsequently filed individual Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charges after the denial of class
status. Fifty-four of those EEOC claimants filed lawsuits.
Fifty-three of those suits have been settled or dismissed. The
settlement amounts were not material to our financial position or
results of operations. We are vigorously defending the remaining
lawsuit.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Accident Litigation&amp;#8212;&lt;/b&gt;On
March&amp;#160;20, 2009 a jury in Will County, Illinois entered a
verdict of $23.75 million against us, a federally authorized motor
carrier with which we contracted, and the motor carrier&amp;#8217;s
driver. The award was entered in favor of three named plaintiffs
following a consolidated trial, stemming from an accident that
occurred on April&amp;#160;1, 2004. The motor carrier and the driver
both admitted that at the time of the accident the driver was
acting as an agent for the motor carrier, and that the load was
being transported according to the terms of our contract with the
motor carrier. Our contract clearly defined the motor carrier as an
independent contractor. The verdict has the effect of holding us
vicariously liable for the damages caused by the admitted
negligence of the motor carrier and its driver. There were no
claims that our selection or retention of the motor carrier was
negligent.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font size=

&lt;!--##PBStart##--&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Given our prior experience with claims
of this nature, we believe the court erred in allowing theses
claims to be considered by a jury. As a result we are vigorously
pursuing all available legal avenues by which we may obtain relief
from the verdict. On April&amp;#160;17, 2009, as provided under
Illinois law, we filed a post-trial motion. In that motion we have
requested the entry of an order granting judgment in our favor not
withstanding the verdict, due to the fact that the evidence
presented to the jury was legally insufficient to support the
verdict. In the alternative we have requested that the verdict be
set aside and that a new trial be ordered due to numerous
prejudicial trial errors which denied us a fair trial. In the event
the trial court fails to grant our request for post-trial relief we
will challenge the verdict before the Illinois appellate
court.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;Under the terms of the insurance program
which we had in place in 2004 we would be responsible for the first
$5.0 million of claims of this nature. Because there are multiple
potential outcomes, many of which are reasonably possible, but none
of which we believe is probable, we have not recorded a liability
for this claim at this time.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;We are not subject to any other pending
or threatened litigation other than routine litigation arising in
the ordinary course of our business operations, none of which is
expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Pronouncements&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 6px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In December 2007, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Standard (SFAS) No.&amp;#160;141R, &lt;i&gt;Business Combinations&lt;/i&gt;. SFAS
No.&amp;#160;141R establishes principles and requirements for how the
acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The
statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the
goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements
to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
combination. We have adopted SFAS No.&amp;#160;141R as of
January&amp;#160;1, 2009 and applied it to the acquisition discussed in
Note 8. SFAS No.&amp;#160;141R did not have any impact on our financial
statements upon adoption.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS
No.&amp;#160;165, &lt;i&gt;Subsequent Events&lt;/i&gt;. This standard is intended
to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial
statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically,
this standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date
during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under
which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring
after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions
that occurred after the balance sheet date.&amp;#160;SFAS No.&amp;#160;165
was effective for us during the quarter ended June&amp;#160;30,
2009.&amp;#160;The adoption of SFAS No.&amp;#160;165 did not have a
material impact on the consolidated financial statements.&amp;#160;We
evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements through the date of this
filing. See Note 9.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB
Staff Position FAS No.&amp;#160;107-1 and Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No.&amp;#160;28-1 (FSP FAS No.&amp;#160;107-1 and APB
No.&amp;#160;28-1), &lt;i&gt;Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,&lt;/i&gt; which amends SFAS No.&amp;#160;107,
&lt;i&gt;Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,&lt;/i&gt; and
requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments
for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well
as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS No.&amp;#160;107-1 and APB
No.&amp;#160;28-1 also amend APB Opinion No.&amp;#160;28, &lt;i&gt;Interim
Financial Reporting,&lt;/i&gt; to require those disclosures in summarized
financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS
No.&amp;#160;107-1 and APB No.&amp;#160;28-1 was effective for us during
the quarter ended June&amp;#160;30, 2009. We have adopted FSP FAS
No.&amp;#160;107-1 and APB No.&amp;#160;28-1 and provided the required
disclosure in Note 5.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"&gt;&lt;font face=
"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS
No.&amp;#160;162, &lt;i&gt;The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles&lt;/i&gt;. This standard is intended to improve financial
reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for
selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial
statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental
entities. In June 2009, FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the Codification) as the single source of
authoritative, nongovernmental accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excluding the
guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
FASB approved an Exposure Draft that replaced SFAS 162 and modified
GAAP by establishing only two levels of GAAP, authoritative and
nonauthoritative. This was accomplished by authorizing the
Codification to become the single source of authoritative U.S.
accounting and reporting standards, except for rules and
interpretive releases of the SEC, which are sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All other nongrandfathered,
non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has
become nonauthoritative. The Codification is effective for our
financial statements during the quarter ending September&amp;#160;30,
2009. We do not expect the Codification to have any impact on our
consolidated financial statements.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

"Times New Roman" size="2"&gt;On July&amp;#160;7, 2009, we acquired
certain assets of International Trade&amp;#160;&amp;amp; Commerce, Inc.
(&amp;#8220;ITC&amp;#8221;). ITC is a United States customs brokerage
company specializing in warehousing and distribution and
cross-border services between the United States and Mexico. ITC is
headquartered in Laredo, Texas and has approximately 40 employees
and staff. We do not expect this acquisition to have a material
impact on our results of operations or financial
position.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
