·  
UniversalPost Private Postal Network/Postal Nation

·  
Universal Express Logistics, Inc.
·  Virtual Bellhop®

Marketplace
 
A challenging global economy has grown over the past decade. Internet, catalog and retail sales continue to mandate an inexpensive and responsive outsourced final mile domestic and international delivery network. We continue to address that innovative and outsourced final mile network, and we have undergone visionary expansion in the last decade. We currently are establishing strong strategic relationships with companies and manufacturers, thus strengthening our long term private postal network, luggage business and logistical courier network. Members of UniversalPost’s private postal network provide the public with a complement to the U.S. Post Office for many retail and business postal services. In addition, these postal service centers offer individuals and business customers an additional variety of personal business services and merchandise.
 
Luggage Express has begun to separate passengers from suitcases and offer a safer and more pleasurable travel experience.
 
These courier companies and private postal centers form a highly fragmented cottage industry. We believe that since this industry generates over $14 billion in sales and presently consists of more than 30,000 independent operators, there is a market opportunity for the development of an association with the goal of unifying and organizing the independent and franchised postal stores and couriers nationwide. These members are electronically connected to other members via our new website, new sales and products.
 
We believe that an affordable outsourced distribution system is needed to suit consumers’ future needs. We believe that we have positioned ourself to be a contender in the global economy for the next decade with the development of its outsourced and innovative subsidiaries.
 
We are now positioned as a significant player in the international shipping and transportation industries. By building our divisions through classic outsourcing techniques, our future revenue growth will not be offset by increased overhead.
 
2

 
In just the past few years, we have identified more than 9,000 private postal centers in a network called UniversalPost that produces growing revenue streams for both its members and us. We offer our UniversalPost Network members discounted services from some of the country’s largest vendors, as well as innovative new luggage services that resonate in the world’s present security-conscious travel climate.
 
Our business strategy is far more than the sum of today’s parts. Our three highly synergistic divisions position us to create an entirely new industry paradigm by offering the private postal industry and consumers value-added services and products, logistical services, equipment leasing and cost-effective delivery of goods and services worldwide.
 
UniversalPost™ Network, the name for our private postal network, taps the purchasing power of over 20,000 privately owned and operated postal stores to create the nation’s first truly organized and funded private postal system.
 
Our web-based CRM software system empowers swift delivery of business products and services to the network: commercial mail receiving; office products and supplies; packaging and shipping; copying, imaging, photo finishing and digital services; home office boutique items; and even concierge services.
 
Universal Express Logistics, Inc. joins our visionary Luggage Express™ service offered through the UniversalPost Network and its Internet-based Virtual Bellhop® luggage pickup and delivery service to free travelers from the stress of dealing with their luggage as they travel across the country and around the world. Today’s target customer is the upscale traveler planning extended stays at destination resorts, but the service is equally appealing to any traveler who prefers not to pay extra airline fees or struggle with heavy and awkward baggage at either end of their trip. When you consider that domestic airline luggage is expected to exceed 3 billion pieces annually, Our revenue potential is substantial as acceptance of luggage transportation services reaches critical mass with further branding and advertising.
 
MadPackers™ is a service oriented company that is assisting the college world by moving students and their belongings into their rooms ahead of time; creating a fluid move in process on the first days of school for students, parents and administrations across the country through a “door to dorm™” shipping service. MadPackers takes students’ belongings from their home and sends them directly to their college residences. They also take students’ belongings back home after the semester has ended. They store students’ belongings during winter, summer, and study abroad breaks, as well as ship to study abroad and spring break destinations. MadPackers provides students, parents, and administrations an innovative solution to the move in process on and off campuses across the country.

We are also affiliated with The Coalition for Luggage Security (the “Coalition”). The Coalition is made of companies and individuals with the mission of creating safer air travel by separating luggage from passengers. The founder and president of the Coalition is Richard Altomare, who is also our CEO and Chairman. Currently, his white paper entitled, “More Safety, Less Hassle for American Travelers: A Private Sector Solution” has been circulated in Congress.

UniversalPost™ Network- The Private Postal Network/Postal Nation
 
UniversalPost Network/Postal Nation, a private postal network, is an association formed to create a very much needed partnership between previously unconnected shipping and packaging store owners. This concept has been accomplished many times before in American industries, most notably by FTD’s maturation of the independent florists across America and Interflora’s unification and development of florists in Europe. UniversalPost Network provides independent store-owners with a variety of cost effective services and products to help increase their profitability, while they are still able to maintain their local or franchised identities.

On April 25, 2006, Universal Post and PostalNation agreed with QuikDrop International to offer its technology and hardware for eBay marketing for customers of postal store members throughout the United States.
 
On May 12, 2006, we announced a pilot program for a number of UniversalPost Network/Postal Nation members for the use of R-Post’s registered e-mail secured program.
 
On August 23, 2006, we announced a UniversalPost Network/Postal Nation program with Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
 
UniversalPost™ Network- International Courier Service
 
UniversalPost Network, the International Courier Service, is an alliance of independently owned and operated express courier services operating in 268 cities in 120 countries. UniversalPost Network provides global delivery and services to international firms. This network currently delivers over 650,000 packages per month and is part of the world’s largest independently owned courier network. It is the fifth largest express courier network in the world behind the integrated United States express carriers such as FedEx, UPS and DHL.
 
Unlike the major integrators who operate their own aircraft and thus offer rigid pick up and delivery schedule, UniversalPost Network members offer flexible, customized International services to meet a client’s specific distribution needs. Instead of operating our own costly fleet, UniversalPost Network offers express International air courier service and expedited air cargo through regularly scheduled commercial airlines to transport time-sensitive documents, parcels, freight and mail.
 
According to industry estimates, private postal stores alone ship $600 million annually in International packages and without UniversalPost Network are totally dependent upon their suppliers’ shipping. The obvious synergy between UniversalPost, the International Courier Service and UniversalPost Network, the private postal network, enhances our unusual position in the shipping service industry.
 
Now UniversalPost Network members can offer an in-house solution for international deliveries at a higher profit margin for themselves and increase the value of international delivery service to their customers rather than the more expensive traditional carriers. The UniversalPost Networks’ use of the UniversalPost envelope for their international shipping method instead of outsourced options strengthens the local postal stores’ position as an international delivery solution.
 
Luggage Express™ and Virtual Bellhop®
 
Luggage Express and its premier service, the Virtual Bellhop, facilitate and manage the movement of baggage door-to-door for leisure and business travelers.
 
With many years of logistical corporate and entrepreneurial experience in relevant core businesses, Universal Express has created a powerful logistical business model driven by multi-channel distribution and multi-market demand. We have established relationships with travel service providers and distribution partners.

There are significant market opportunities not limited to the abundance of checked bags presently being moved each year. Making travel easier and more enjoyable through luggage free travel is the goal of our two companies.
 
Whether it be through partners like hotels, airlines, cruise lines, credit card companies, airline or travel agencies, or simply our neighborhood postal store, we continue to introduce Americans to luggage-free travel.
 
With over 1.5 billion suitcases presently being checked by domestic passengers, our companies offer significant benefits to the airlines. Customer satisfaction, easier check-in, a secure alternative to curb-side check-in, less congestion in the departure hall and minimizing departure delays, defines our service. The FAA expects the number of airline passengers to double, making domestic luggage exceed 3 billion suitcases. Luggage Express and Virtual Bellhop are indeed poised for luggage-free travel.
 
Luggage Express is developing an innovative revenue program for the selling of Luggage Express Associate Program (LEAP) territories to investors and business entrepreneurs. The development of this program is in its final stages. We have been working with Francorp, Inc. the premier franchising organization to guide and assist us in the franchising program for its L.E.A.P. (Luggage Express Associate Program) division.
 
On April 13, 2006, MadPackers, our college shipping and logistics division, launched its promotional tour of universities. On April 25, 2006, Madpackers signed an agreement with Florida Atlantic University.

On May 17, 2006, Luggage Express entered into a partnership with The Association of Corporate Travel Executives, an association that provides global and regional leadership of the business travel industry.
 
On June 21, 2006, we announced the signing of a contract to purchase Global Trucking Services, a provider of luggage delivery services and trucking services for major airlines serving the Miami, Florida market.

Universal Express Properties
 
We announced our real estate division on November 12, 2004. The division concentrates on commercial property acquisitions, commercial loans and other lending activities, and seeks to be the lead investor in private placements, limited partnerships and other activities with a goal to develop a portfolio sufficient to operate the company as a real estate investment trust (REIT).

On July 18, 2006, we announced the signing of an agreement to purchase Jacksonville Oil Company, a North Florida oil and gas retailer.
 
Competition
 
We believe that the maturation of the Private Postal Network (UniversalPost) will strengthen the profitable atmosphere of this cottage private postal industry. Lack of financial strength and market penetration have prevented some excellent franchisors and independent stores from properly promoting their services. The ability of UniversalPost to create a nationally accepted private postal industry that the American public will embrace and trust should recreate a viable industry. We feel that we can convince through financial discounts the independent and nationwide franchisors that they must self-regulate for consumer acceptance and seize this opportunity to become part of this new cooperative partnership and private postal network.
 
Industry Background
 
The future of the industry lies predominately in the international business community and domestic acceptance of private postal stores as a natural cohesive industry. As the world moves towards a Global Economy and trade tariffs begin to break down, we believe that new shipping markets and small business opportunities will be developed and the key ingredients underlying these developments will be transportation and outlets for carriers as well as final mile fulfillment for direct marketing products.
 
The opportunities to expand our corporate scope are limitless due to shipping, logistical distribution needs and growth of services through the world.
 
The transportation industry has already developed the necessary infrastructure and continues to grow. We believe that the missing ingredients needed to make this industry improve are packaging, logistics and inexpensive residential locations.
 
7

 
We believe that a nationwide organized domestic fulfillment network with an affordable international delivery system can become a key player in the global economy. We have positioned ourself to be that public player in this lucrative market. Members of UniversalPost provide the public with a complement to the U.S. Post Office for many retail postal services. In addition, our service centers offer individuals and business customers a variety of personal, business and communications services and merchandise.
 
Management
 
Mr. Richard A. Altomare has been our President and CEO since May 1992, upon appointment by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “Reorganization Court”) for Packaging Plus Services, Inc. (our predecessor company) during Packaging Plus Services, Inc.’s reorganization, completed in May of 1994. Mr. Altomare directs our business, and is continuing to build a multi-faceted company foundation for future growth in the global marketplace. He envisions a synergistic company capable of creating a profitable partnership between packaging store owners and their carriers, as well as building innovative businesses in the logistics, commercial vehicles capital funding and leasing and transportation fields.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We filed a lawsuit for $168 million in 2003 against North American Airlines and its President Mr. McKinnon in New York Supreme Court, Queens County, New York, for breach of contract and fraud, plus punitive damages. This suit was predicated upon Mr. McKinnon’s actions

following the signing of a contract for us to purchase this charter airline, the breach of that contract in various ways by Mr. McKinnon and Mr. McKinnon’s attempts to frustrate the accomplishment of the proposed acquisition. This case is pending.
 
In 2005, we filed a lawsuit for $269 million against Capitalliance Financial Services and individuals and firms associated with Capitalliance in New York Supreme Court, New York County. This suit was predicated upon a series of failed transactions proposed to us, which were grounded on fraud, misrepresentation and a series of forged instruments and documents. This case is pending.
 
In 2006, we brought an action in New York Supreme Court, County of Albany, for $160 Million against Coach Industries Group and related companies. This suit is predicated on fraud and breach of contract, with respect to the violation of a “right of first refusal” we had to purchase a courier management company, Corporate Development Services (formerly, SubContracting Concepts, Inc.). This case is pending.
 
On March 2, 2004, we brought suit against the SEC in federal court in Florida seeking damages from “naked shorting” of its shares and other matters. Thereafter, on March 23, 2004, the SEC brought an action in federal court in New York against certain of our officers. These matters are pending. We and our president have been leading opponents of the growing “naked shorting” scandal for ten years and has joined with many other public companies in focusing on this national problem in press releases and public forums. It is significant that we have received very substantial jury verdicts and judgments concerning this problem, as indicated below.
 
On July 26, 2001, a jury in the Circuit Court of the Eleventh Circuit, Dade County, Florida awarded the Company a damage verdict after trial, of $87,622,000 compensatory damages, $275,000,000 punitive damages and $26,286,000 pre-judgment interest, or a total judgment entered of $389 Million, against Select Capital and various stock manipulators and “naked shorters.” This judgment continues to grow with post-judgment interest. On August 23, 2003, another jury in the Circuit Court, Dade County, Florida, after trial, awarded another verdict to us in the total amount of $137 Million, against South Beach Financial and related stock manipulators and “naked shorters”. Judgment was entered in favor of the Company upon this verdict. This judgment continues to grow with post-judgment interest. These judgments were non-appealable. Our collection efforts with respect to these judgments are ongoing, and we believe that the judgments are substantially collectable.
 
We are involved in several lawsuits with vendors, suppliers, and professionals. We dispute all these claims. We believe that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
 
Included in this report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including sales levels, distribution and competition trends and other market factors.
 
Overview
 
Management is continually concentrating on raising new capital to further develop the UniversalPostNetwork/Postal Nation, our multi-faceted national private postal business centers nationwide connected through the World Wide Web, and for future acquisitions.

Management views this year as a period of growth based upon its decision to concentrate on core business development through the UniversalPost Network/Postal Nation, Virtual Bellhop®, Luggage Express™, MadPackers™, UniversalPost International Delivery and USXP Capital™.
 
Results of Operations
 
During the year ended June 30, 2006, our revenues increased 15.3%, from $931,009 in the year ended June 30, 2005, to $1,073,486. We attribute this increase to the improvement in the performance of our luggage business. During the year ended June 30, 2006, our cost of goods sold decreased 9.1%, from $914,404 in the year ended June 30, 2005, to $830,883. We attribute this decrease to better pricing terms, including larger discounts, that we were able to obtain in the year ended June 30, 2006. Due to our increased revenues and decreased cost of goods sold, our gross profit increased to $242,603 from $16,605.
 
During the year ended June 30, 2006, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased 37% to $5,445,311 from $3,973,999 in the year ended June 30, 2005. We attribute the increase in these expenses to the larger number of employees and increase in overall operating costs in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year. Our amortization of deferred compensation increased 117% to $12,434,041 in the year ended June 30, 2005 compared to $5,732,540 in the prior year. This increase was generally due to the timing of payments which came due under various employment contracts and contracts with outside advisors and consultants. For these reasons we also expect this increase to continue in the year ended June 30, 2007. Our stock based compensation also increased substantially in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year, increasing 258%, to $1,245,876 from $348,431, as a result of the greater amount of stock that we used to pay for various outside services compared to the prior year. Our depreciation expense was virtually unchanged in the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year.
 
In the year ended June 30, 2006, we received an additional amount of $27,500 from the settlement of a suit involving the sale of Downtown Theater Ticket Agency, Inc.. The total amount that we received from the settlement through June 30, 2006 is $89,333, including $54,133 that we received in the year ended June 30, 2005. We had other income of $25,000 due to insurance payments in the year ended June 30, 2006, but we had no other income in the prior year. Our interest income in the years ended June 30 2006 and 2005 was essentially the same. In the year ended June 30, 2006, our interest expense increased 117%, to 46,021 from 21,166, due to a combination of increased borrowing and higher interests rates on these borrowings.
 
As a result of the factors described above, particularly the $12,434,041 of amortized deferred compensation, our net comprehensive loss for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased 89% to $18,899,026 from $9,985,868.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
During the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2006, our financing activities provided $8,686,856 while we used $6,532,973 in our operating and investing activities.
 
Our working capital equity for fiscal 2006 was $1,312,543 compared with a deficiency of $2,200,428 in fiscal 2005.
 
11

 
Until the UniversalPost Network/Postal Nation, Virtual Bellhop, Luggage Express, MadPackers, USXP Capital and UniversalPost International Delivery are fully developed, we will continue to rely on equity and debt raises to fund our operations. We are continuing efforts to raise cash by arranging lines of credit, and obtaining additional equity capital. Our future business operations will require additional capital.
 
Management is presently exploring methods to increase available credit lines as well as methods to increase working capital through both traditional and non-traditional debt services.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 

 



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Universal Express, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders equity (deficit) and cash flows of Universal Express, Inc. (the Company) for the year ended June 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2005 of Universal Express, Inc. in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has experienced net losses since inception. The Company’s financial position and operating results raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 4. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
Board of Directors & Stockholders
Universal Express, Inc. and Subsidiaries
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Universal Express, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the one year in the period ended June 30, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conduct our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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.
 
The Company has generated losses to date. This factor among others raises substantial doubt the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The Company’s continuation as a going concern depends upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to conduct its operations and its ability to obtain additional sources of capital and financing. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2006, and the results of its operations and it cash flows for the one year in the period ended June 30, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting standards.

("SkyNet") in exchange for 400,000, a non-exclusive license to sublicense the SkyNet name in connection with an international courier service in the United States, and delivery service credits of $700,000 provided that USXP shall not use more than $50,000 in credits in any one month, unless authorized by SkyNet. Through June 30, 2005 the Company has used $20,177 & June 30, 2006 $32,506 of the aforementioned credits. Total credits used to date are $52,683. These credits are classed as income as used.

On May 11, 2001 USXP sold all of the assets of its subsidiary Downtown Theater Ticket Agency, Inc. ("DTTA") for $50,000 and a promissory note of approximately $392,000 payable over approximately 33 years. The present value of this note using a 9% discount rate is $119,402. Due to the uncertainty of collectability and the non-recourse nature of this long-term note the Company has recorded a reserve of $111,702, resulting in an unreserved other receivable of $7,700, representing approximately 1 year of payments. The Company did not receive any payments on this note after July 2001, and filed a lawsuit to collect. This suit was settled after June 30, 2004, and the Company received an initial payment under the settlement of $60,000, and another $55,000 to be paid $1,833 per month for 30 months. As of June 30, 2006, the Company has received $89,333 of this amount.

In addition, USXP owns several other subsidiaries with little or no activity and seeks new acquisitions which will complement the PBC Network.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Hereinafter, all of the aforementioned companies are collectively referred to as the "Company".

Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company incurred losses from operations of $18,872,267 and $9,985,868 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern without the raising of additional debt and/or equity financing to fund operations. Management is actively pursuing new debt and/or equity financing and is continually evaluating the Company's operations, however, any results of their plans and actions cannot be assured. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements consolidate the accounts of USXP and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
For the luggage transportation operations, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the luggage.

For the transportation/equipment leasing brokerage company, revenue is recognized upon delivery of the transportation/equipment to the end user.

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs for the luggage transportation operations are charged to costs of goods sold as incurred.

Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred.
Advertising expense was $1,279,662 and $394,658 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of companies acquired over the fair market value of their net assets at the date of acquisition. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. At June 30, 2006, the Company believes that there has been no impairment of goodwill. This subsidiary is vital to the revenues generated in our luggage division and as such it is still a very valuable asset to the Company.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the respective assets, ranging from five to ten years.

Deferred Service Costs
Deferred service costs are recorded in connection with common stock issued to advisors for future services and are amortized over the period of the agreement, ranging from six months to ten years.

Stock Based Compensation
Financial Accounting Statement No. 123 ("SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations through June 30, 2006. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The Company has adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, which require pro-forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied. The Company computed the effect on net income and earnings(loss) per share as if the fair value method of accounting had been applied and found the differences immaterial.

Stock Based Compensation, continued
As required by Statement No. 123 the Company accounts for stock issued for services to non-employees by reference to the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of issuance. Effective July 1, 2006, the Company will adopt accounting methods described by SFAS No. 123R as required.

Basic Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is calculated utilizing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents and contingently issuable shares have not been included in the computation since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using the effective tax rates in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets is also recorded when it is probable that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recovered. At June 30, 2006, the Company believes that there has been no impairment of its long-lived assets.

Marketable Securities
Investments in marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value with any unrealized holding gains or losses included in unrealized loss on marketable securities, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.

Segment Disclosure
The Company uses the "management approach" model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company's management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.

As such, the Company has two major segments for the year ended June 30, 2006: Logistics and International Shipping, Transportation/Equipment Leasing Brokerage and Parent (other). Logistics and International Shipping includes Virtual Bellhop, LLC, Luggage Express, Worldpost, and Private Postal Center Network.com.

Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130") "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income is comprised of net income (loss) and all changes to the statements of stockholders' equity, except those due to investments by stockholders, changes in paid-in capital and distributions.

NOTE 2 - CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The Company places its cash in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial institutions. However, cash balances may exceed FDIC insured levels at various times during the year.

NOTE 3 - LOAN TO OFFICER

UNIVERSAL EXPRESS, INC.
June 30, 2006
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Prior to the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley act, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, in accordance with the such officer' employment contract was entitled to secure loans from the Company in an amount not to exceed $950,000. The board agreed to forgive 10% per year (2.5% quarterly) of the outstanding balance of the Company loans to such officer, commencing January 2, 2001. These loans bear interest at the applicable federal rate, which approximated 6%. As of June 30, 2006 the amount owed under such loan is $722,709.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY RECEIVABLES

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had advanced $906,000 to the spouse of the Chief Executive Officer, who is also an employee of the Company. These loans were advanced from 1999-2003, pursuant to the First Amended Plan of Reorganization of Packaging Plus Services, Inc., that the Reorganization Court approved in February 18, 1994 (the “Reorganization Plan”) and the Long Term Employment Agreement part of the Reorganization Plan, which authorized the Chief Executive Officer of the Company to receive loans from the Company. In 1999, at the recommendation of the Company’s then accountants, all future loans under the Reorganization Plan and Employment Agreement for the Chief Executive Officer were recorded in the name of his spouse. The Company feels that there is adequate security for the advances based on the relationship of the borrower to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company has not yet determined repayment terms of these advances.

NOTE 5 - NOTES RECEIVABLES

These notes are from previous acquisitions of Universal Jet Aviation and Bags To Go. These acquisitions were resold immediately to the former owners within the same acquisition period. The note due from Universal Jet Aviation is $631,305 and Bags To Go is $216,748. The Company believes these notes are collectable and are pursuing avenues to collect them.

NOTE 13 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases certain office space and equipment under operating lease agreements with unrelated parties. The base rent under these agreements aggregates approximately $21,934 per month. The related leases expire between July 2006 and 2008.

The following is a schedule of future minimum rental payments (exclusive of common area charges) required under operating leases that have remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year as of June 30, 2005.

Rent expense charged to operations was $410,660 and $306,438 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The leases also contain provisions for contingent rental payments based upon increases in taxes, insurance and common area maintenance expenses as well as renewal options.

The employment agreement with the Company's Chief Executive Officer provides for an annual base salary of $650,000 per annum.

The Company is involved in various lawsuits and claims in the normal course of business. The Company believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

On July 5, 2001, the Company was awarded a $389 million judgment by a jury in Dade County, Florida against the Company's former investment banker. On April 23, 2003, the Company was awarded an additional $137 million judgment against two other parties related to this matter. The Company is currently pursuing collection of the judgments. At this time, however, no estimate can be made as to the time or amount of collection.

NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2006 the Company had approximately $77,000,000 of net operating loss carry forwards expiring beginning in 2009 through 2026. A substantial amount of the carry forwards are subject to annual limitations pursuant to provisions contained in the Internal Revenue Code

which become effective when an "ownership change", such as the ownership change effected pursuant to the Reorganization Plan occurs. To the extent that such net operating losses are not utilized in a particular year, such amounts become available to increase the following year's limitations.

Deferred tax assets in the amount of approximately $26,000,000 (resulting from the benefit of the aforementioned net operating losses) have been fully offset by a valuation allowance since realization of the benefit of the net operating losses is not assured.

Significant components of the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2006 were from net operating losses. The deferred tax assets have been presented in the Company's financial statements as follows:

(“Pollard”) as our new independent auditor. Our board of directors approved the engagement of Pollard on July 21, 2006. During the fiscal years 2004 and 2005 and through July 21, 2006, we had no disagreements with Durland on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. In addition, no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We have not designated a formal audit committee. However, as defined in Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our entire board of directors, in the absence of a formally appointed committee, is, by definition, our audit committee.
 
In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, commencing with the engagement, the board obtained from its independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between the auditors and us that might bear on the auditors’ independence as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.” The board discussed with the auditors any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence, including fees for non-audit services, and satisfied itself as to the auditors' independence. The board also discussed with management and the independent auditors the quality and adequacy of our internal controls. The board reviewed with the independent auditors their management letter on internal controls, if one was issued by our auditors.
 
The board discussed and reviewed with the independent auditors all matters required to be discussed by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees”.

The board reviewed our audited financial statements as of and for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 with management and its independent auditors. Management has the sole ultimate responsibility for the preparation of our financial statements, and the respective independent auditors have the responsibility for their examination of those statements.

21


Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with the respective independent auditors and management, the board of directors approved our audited financial statements and recommended that they be included in our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 2006, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Our principal accountants for the year ended June 30, 2006, Pollard-Kelley Auditing Services, Inc., and, for the year ended June 30, 2005, Durland & Company, CPA's P.A., did not engage any other persons or firms other than the respective principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
