Our MobileMarket(TM) collects and processes current location and other transportation information as the freight is being transported. The information that is relevant to our shipper and carrier customers becomes instantly accessible to them through our website at www.power2ship.com. We believe that the information we provide assists smaller carriers, particularly those with less than 30 trucks, compete more effectively with larger carriers by improving their management and utilization of transportation assets. We currently have approximately 17 shipper customers and approximately 19 carrier customers. In addition, we believe our system assists shippers become more profitable by reducing their transportation, warehouse operations and inventory carrying costs. We are also collaborating with several technology and defense companies that, in response to the Homeland Security Act and Operation Safe Commerce, are collaborating to develop solutions that address global transportation security issues. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 we reported total revenue of $2,091,965 and a net loss of $4,134,885 and the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for fiscal 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. We estimate that our current funds on hand will only be sufficient to fund our operations through December 31, 2004. As described elsewhere herein, we have included up to $3.0 million SEDA Shares to be sold to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. following the date of this prospectus to provide additional working capital for our company. If, however, we are unable to secure this funding by December 31, 2004, we may be forced to curtail some or all of our operations. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and existing burn rate, and we have a strategy whereby certain non-essential personnel and administrative costs will be reduced or eliminated so that we may continue to meet operating obligations until such time as we can raise additional working capital. Our offices are located at 903 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33487. Our telephone number is (561) 998-7557. Our fiscal year end is June 30. THE OFFERING This offering relates to the sale of common stock by certain persons who are stockholders of Power2Ship. The selling stockholders consist of: * Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., which intends to sell up to $3.0 million of our shares of common stock (the $3 million SEDA Shares) to be purchased under a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. See "Selling Security Holders - Standby Equity Distribution Agreement." For each share of common stock purchased under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay 98% of the daily volume weighted average priced which is calculated automatically by Bloomberg, LLC, a reporting service, by taking the sum of the value of all the sales of the registrant's common stock for a given day (the total shares sold in each trade times the sales price per share of the common stock for that trade) and then dividing this sum by the total number of shares sold on that day for the five trading days following the notice date. For the purposes of this prospectus, we have used a sales price of $0.[4084] per share which would result in the issuance of 7,345,740 shares of our common stock for the $3.0 million. If the actual sales price is higher, it will result in the issuance of a lesser number of shares of our common stock for the $3.0 million. If the actual sales price is lower, it will result in the issuance of a greater number of shares of our common stock for the $3.0 million. We have included a total of 11,018,610 shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part which is 150% of the shares to be issued for the $3.0 million based upon the sales price of $0.[4084] per share. -2- * Cornell Capital Partners also intends to sell up to 12,992,255 shares of our common stock including shares which are issuable upon the conversion of our $500,000 principal amount 14.25% secured convertible debentures, $2 million principal amount of our Series B 5% secured convertible debentures, shares of our common stock presently owned by them and shares underlying outstanding warrants, * Newbridge Securities Corporation and certain of its employees, which collectively intend to sell up to 2,217,007 shares of common stock including shares owned by them and shares underlying warrants owned by that firm and its employees, all of which were received as placement agent fees and business advisory fees, and * Additional stockholders who are set forth later in this prospectus under "Selling Security Holders" who intend to sell up to 14,440,554 shares of our common stock, including shares issuable upon the conversion of $1,247,000 principal amount 14.25% secured convertible debentures and outstanding options and warrants with exercise prices ranging from $0.31 to $1.51 per share. Under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically issue and sell to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $10.0 million. We have included shares in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, for $3.0 million of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the "$3.0 million SEDA Shares"). In the event we wish to sell Cornell Capital Partners any additional shares of our common stock above the $3.0 million SEDA Shares, we will be required to file additional registration statements with the SEC and those registration statements must be declared effective by the SEC. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will purchase the $3.0 million SEDA Shares for a 2% discount to the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five days immediately following the date that we provide them with notice of our intent to sell all or a portion of the $3.0 million SEDA Shares. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. may sell any of the $3.0 million SEDA Shares purchased under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement at the then prevailing market price. Among other things, this prospectus relates to the $3.0 million SEDA Shares to be issued under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. Cornell Capital Partners is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of the $3.0 million SEDA Shares under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We will pay Cornell Capital Partners a fee of 5% of the gross proceeds raised under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. -3- COMMON STOCK OFFERED 29,609,816 shares by selling stockholders.

These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous assumptions and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, our ability to implement our business model, economic, political and market conditions and fluctuations, government and industry regulation, interest rate risk, competition, and other factors. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. You should consider the areas of risk described in connection with any forward-looking statements that may be made herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and readers should carefully review this prospectus in its entirety, including the risks described in "Risk Factors." Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information under the Federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus, and you should not rely on these statements without also considering the risks and uncertainties associated with these statements and our business. RISK FACTORS Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected and you could lose all of your investment in our company. We have a limited operating history from which an evaluation of our future Prospects can be made. If we are not successful in developing a wide market for Our products, the future viability of our business could be at risk. We did not begin generating revenues until our fiscal year ended May 31, 2003. There is a limited financial history of operations from which to evaluate our future prospects, including our ability to develop a wide base of customers for our MobileMarket(TM) and to otherwise achieve our business objectives. We are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital, possible delays in the development of our products and services, implementation of our business plan and uncertain markets. We may encounter unanticipated problems, expenses and delays in marketing our services and securing additional customers. If we are not successful in developing a wide market for our products and services, our ability to generate sufficient revenue to sustain our operations would be adversely affected. -5- We have a history of losses and an accumulated deficit. We expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003 we reported total revenue of $2,091,965 and $1,019,883 and a loss available to common stockholders of $5,481,929 and $2,235,872, respectively. At June 30, 2004 we had an accumulated deficit of $12,759,197. Further, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we reported net cash used in operating activities of $2,598,189. Our revenue has not been sufficient to sustain our operations and we do not expect significant revenue or profitable operations for the foreseeable future. The independent auditor's report for the year ended June 30, 2004 on our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion stating that our recurring losses from operations and negative operating cash flows raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. As described below, we will need to raise additional working capital in order to implement our business model and sustain our operations. Because we are subject to all of the business risks inherent in a new company with an unproven market, we cannot guarantee you that we will ever report profitable operations or generate sufficient revenue to sustain our company as a going concern. Our primary assets serve as collateral under outstanding debentures. If we should default on these debentures, the debenture holders could foreclose on our assets and we would be unable to continue our business and operations. We have granted the holders of our $1,747,000 principal amount 14.25% secured convertible debentures and our $2,000,000 principal amount Series B 5% secured convertible debentures a blanket security interest in all of our assets and properties. If we should default under the repayment provisions of either of these secured debentures, the debenture holders could seek to foreclose on our primary assets in an effort to seek repayment under the debentures. If the debenture holders were successful, we would be unable to conduct our business as it is presently conducted and our ability to generate revenues and fund our ongoing operations would be materially adversely affected. We will require additional capital to fund our ongoing operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will not be able to continue operations. While we are attempting to increase sales, our revenue growth has not been significant enough to generate sufficient gross profits to fund our daily operations. We do not presently have sufficient financial resources and financing commitments to fund our ongoing operations beyond December 2004 and the report of our independent auditors on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of our strategy to improve sales volume, we cannot accurately predict when, or if, our sales and profits will increase to the level necessary to sustain our operations therefore we believe that we will need to raise additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans and sustain our ongoing operations. A large part of our financing needs are expected to be provided from the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement described elsewhere herein. We have included $3.0 million SEDA Shares in this prospectus for sale to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement following the date of this prospectus. Other than this Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we do not presently have any additional sources of working capital. If we are unable to secure this funding by December 31, 2004 because the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not declared effective by the SEC prior to that date, and we are unable to obtain additional working capital from alternative sources, we may be required to curtail or discontinue some or all of our business and operations. Certain contractual limitations of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement may adversely affect our needs for working capital in future periods. If we are unable to obtain working capital as needed in future periods, our ability to continue our business and operations would be in jeopardy. We are a party to a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP which permits us to sell up to $10,000,000 of our common stock, as described elsewhere in this prospectus. We have included $3.0 million of the SEDA Shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and we can issue and sell those shares to Cornell Capital Partners commencing upon the effective date of the registration statement. There are restrictions on our ability to request advances under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. For example, we may not request advances if the shares to be issued in connection with such advances would result in Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock. Even if we request advances the amount of each advance is limited to a maximum of $500,000 every seven trading days. As a result of these contractual limitations no assurances can be given that such financing will be available in sufficient amounts or at all when needed to sustain our working capital needs. The Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and our Series B 5% secured convertible debentures contain certain covenants prohibiting us from raising capital at less than the market price. These limitations may hamper our ability to raise working capital in future periods which could result in our ability to continue as a going concern. The Standby Equity Distribution Agreement and the purchase agreement for our Series B 5% secured convertible debentures contain covenants that restrict us from raising capital from the sale of stock or other securities convertible into stock at a price less than the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance. The existence of these covenants may severely limit our ability to raise capital from the sale of stock or convertible securities because any potential purchasers of our stock or convertible securities may want to pay a discount to the market price of our stock. Historically we have been dependent on revenue from two customers and a significant portion of our revenue for fiscal 2003 is non-recurring revenue. If we were to be deprived of revenue from these key customers, our future revenues and business operations could be materially and adversely effected. All of our revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 was derived from two customers, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company and Tire Kingdom, which represented approximately 53% and 47%, respectively of our revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Tire Kingdom represented approximately 64% of our revenue and The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company represented approximately 15% of our revenue. Nearly all of the revenue from The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was derived under the terms of a license and customization agreement which was terminated in January 2004 and does not represent recurring revenues to us. We do not have an agreement with Tire Kingdom. We are seeking to reduce our dependence on revenues from Tire Kingdom during fiscal 2005 by expanding our customer base ^in order to eliminate our dependence upon revenues from a limited number of customers. Because of the significant nature of the revenue from Tire Kingdom to our results of operations, however, the loss of this customer, prior to our obtaining additional customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects. -6- We are dependent on contracts, some of which are short term. If these contracts are terminated, our results of operations would be materially adversely affected. We have entered into agreements to provide transportation services with some of our shipper customers. These agreements, however, do not commit them to using us for any specific volume of transportation services and the agreements can be terminated on 30 days notice. The termination of any of these contracts could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects. We rely on third party providers to provide support for our products and services. Failure by our third party providers to deliver services could adversely impact our services to our customers. We rely on several third party providers for support for our MobileMarket(TM). IBM provides us with dedicated hosting and support for our web site as well as network services. In addition, we purchase GPS locator devices which are included in wireless access packages we offer to carriers from a single-source. Although we do not presently have alternative providers engaged for these products or services, we believe that we could engage other companies to provide these products or services upon substantially the same terms and conditions as our existing third party provides. In the event any of these third party providers are unable to deliver the services or products which we have contracted for, our ability to provide our products and services to our customers would be adversely impacted until such time as we were able to engage alternate sources. We face risks related to rapidly evolving technologies. If we do not respond to these evolving technologies, we may have difficulty in retaining our customers or expanding our customer base. Our markets are subject to rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product introductions and evolving industry standards that may render existing products and services obsolete. Our growth and future operating results will depend, in part, upon our ability to enhance existing applications and develop and introduce new applications or capabilities that: * meet or exceed technological advances in the marketplace; * meet changing customer requirements; * comply with changing industry standards; * achieve market acceptance; * integrate third party software effectively; and * respond to competitive offerings. We may not possess sufficient resources to continue to make the necessary investments in technology. In addition, we may not successfully identify new software opportunities or develop and bring new software to market in a timely and efficient manner. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to develop and introduce new and enhanced software in a timely manner, we may lose existing customers and fail to attract new customers, which may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues sufficient to provide for our ongoing operations. There is a limited ability to safeguard our proprietary information and we may be unable to prevent a third party from the unauthorized use of our propriety information. Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent on our internally developed technologies and trademarks. We seek to protect such intellectual property through a combination of confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions, copyright and trade secret laws and intend to apply for patents. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may copy aspects of our software or obtain and use information that it regards as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our software is difficult, and software piracy could be a problem. Furthermore, potential competitors may independently develop technology similar to ours. While we have applied for a patent for our propriety software and applied for a trademark on our company name, Power2Ship, and on our brand-name "MobileMarket", we cannot provide any assurance that we will be granted either protection or, if granted, that third parties will not violate these protections. Any such violation of our intellectual property rights could prove costly to defend and funds devoted to these possible efforts would reduce the amount of working capital available to fund our ongoing operations. -7- Our Chairman and CEO is the sole holder of our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock which may give him voting control of our company and the ability to solely Influence its business and direction. Our voting securities consist of shares of our common stock and our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of shares of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to 200 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, and these classes of our voting securities vote together on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Mr. Hersh, our Chairman and CEO, is the sole holder of our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock which, together with his common stock holdings, gives him voting rights at September 30, 2004, 2004 over approximately 36.4% of our voting securities. As a result of these voting rights, notwithstanding that our common stockholders are entitled to vote on matters submitted to our stockholders, Mr. Hersh may have the power to strongly influence the election of all of our directors and strongly influence the business and direction of our company. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants, the conversion of shares of our Series B, C, and Y Convertible Preferred Stock and the conversion of our 14.25% secured convertible debentures and our Series B 5% convertible secured debentures will be dilutive to our existing stockholders. As of September 30, 2004 we had the following securities which are convertible or exercisable into shares of our common stock outstanding: * options and warrants to purchase a total of 22,724,788 shares of our common stock at prices ranging between $0.31 to $2.00 per share; * 198,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into 3,960,000 shares of our common stock; * 10,832 shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into 1,083,200 shares of our common stock; * 87,000 shares of our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock which is convertible into 230,405 shares of our common stock; * approximately [4,939,214] shares of our common stock underlying our 14.25% secured convertible debentures based upon a conversion price of [$0.3537] at August 23, 2004; and * 10,600,000 shares of our common stock underlying our Series B 5% secured convertible debentures. The exercise of these warrants and options and the conversion of the debentures and shares of our preferred stock may materially adversely affect the market price of our common stock and will have a dilutive effect on our existing stockholders. -8- We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters. Recent Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and Nasdaq are those that address board of directors' independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. Although we recently adopted a Code of Ethics, we have not yet adopted any of these other corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange or Nasdaq, we are not required to do so. We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees of our board of directors as we presently only have one independent director. If we expand our board membership in future periods to include additional independent directors, we may seek to establish an audit and other committees of our board of directors. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions. Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a takeover which may not be in the best interests of our stockholders. Provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may be deemed to have anti-takeover effects, which include when and by whom special meetings of our stockholders may be called, and may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt. In addition, certain provisions of Nevada law also may be deemed to have certain anti-takeover effects which include that control of shares acquired in excess of certain specified thresholds will not possess any voting rights unless these voting rights are approved by a majority of a corporation's disinterested stockholders. In addition, our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined by our board of directors. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion or voting rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of our common stockholders. If the selling security holders all elect to sell their shares of our common stock at the same time, the market price of our shares may decrease. It is possible that the selling security holders will offer all of the shares for sale. Further because it is possible that a significant number of shares of our common stock could be sold at the same time hereunder, the sales, or the possibility thereof, may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay less than the then-prevailing market Price of our common stock. The sale of our stock under our Standby Equity Distribution Agreement could encourage short sales by third parties, which could Contribute to the future decline of our stock price. The $3.0 million SEDA Shares to be issued to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement will be issued at a 2% discount to the volume weighted average price for the five days immediately following the notice date of an advance. These discounted sales could cause the price of our common stock to decline. A significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock caused by the sale of material amounts of common stock under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement could encourage short sales by third parties. In a short sale, a prospective seller borrows stock from a stockholder or broker and sells the borrowed stock. The prospective seller hopes that the stock price will decline, at which time the seller can purchase shares at a lower price to repay the lender. The seller profits when the stock price declines because it is purchasing shares at a price lower than the sale price of the borrowed stock. Such sales could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock by increasing the number of shares being sold. -9- Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCBB, but trading in our stock is Limited. Because our stock currently trades below $5.00 per share, and is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our stock is considered a "penny stock" which can adversely effect its liquidity. The market for our common stock is extremely limited and there are no assurances an active market for our common stock will ever develop. Accordingly, purchasers of our common stock cannot be assured any liquidity in their investment. In addition, the trading price of our common stock is currently below $5.00 per share and we do not anticipate that it will be above $5.00 per share in the foreseeable future. Because the trading price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, our common stock is considered a "penny stock," and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Under this rule, broker/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a "penny stock," including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of our securities in the secondary market because few broker or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol PWRI. The following table sets forth the reported high and low sale prices for our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board for the periods indicated. The quotations represent inter-dealer prices without retail mark-ups, mark-downs or commissions, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. The quotations may be rounded for presentation.
High Low ----- ----- Fiscal 2005 ----------- First Quarter $0.45 $0.30 Fiscal 2004 Fourth Quarter $0.45 $0.30 Third Quarter $0.50 $0.27 Second Quarter $0.63 $0.39 First Quarter $0.50 $0.27 Fiscal 2003 Fourth Quarter $1.24 $0.60 Third Quarter $1.00 $0.37 Second Quarter $1.02 $0.54 First Quarter $1.43 $0.75 Fiscal 2002 Fourth Quarter $1.77 $0.61 Third Quarter $1.45 $0.64 Second Quarter $1.01 $0.94 First Quarter $4.05 $1.01
On October 18, 2004 the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board was $0.45 per share. As of September 30, 2004, we had approximately 356 shareholders of record. Certain of the shares of common stock are held in "street" name and may be held by numerous beneficial owners. -10- DIVIDEND POLICY We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We intend to keep future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. We do not anticipate that any cash dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

CAPITALIZATION The following table sets forth our capitalization as of June 30, 2004. This table should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
June 30, 2004 ---------------- Long-term liabilities $ 2,962,080 Stockholders' equity: Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, 200,000 shares authorized, 198,000 shares issued and outstanding 1,980 Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, 20,000 share authorized, 10,832 shares issued and outstanding 108 Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, 87,000 shares authorized, 87,000 shares issued and outstanding 870 Common stock, $0.001 par value, 100,000,000 shares authorized, 38,248,146 shares issued and outstanding 38,248 Deferred compensation ( 208,410) Additional paid-in capital 11,794,765 ---------------- Accumulated deficit (12,759,197) ---------------- Total stockholders' deficit ( 1,131,636) Total capitalization $ 1,830,444
-11- DILUTION The net tangible book value of Power2Ship as of June 30, 2004 was $ (1,898,245) or $ (0.0496) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the tangible book value of Power2Ship (total tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. For the shares being offered by the selling security holders none of the proceeds will be paid to Power2Ship therefore our net tangible book value will be unaffected by this offering. Our net tangible book value, however, will be impacted by the number of $3.0 million SEDA Shares issued under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The offering price of the $3.0 million SEDA shares is not fixed until prior to the sale. The following example shows the dilution to new investors at an offering price of $[ 0.4084] per share which represents the price at which we would sell the $3.0 million SEDA Shares to Cornell Capital if we had noticed them of our intent to sell the shares on [September 30], 2004 If we assume that we had issued [7,345,740] shares for $3.0 million ^under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement at an assumed offering price of [$ 0.4084] per share (i.e., the maximum number of shares needed to fully use the $3.0 million SEDA Shares based upon a notice to Cornell Capital on [September 30, 2004], less commitment fees of $150,000, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2004 would have been $ 951,755 or $ 0.021 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $ 0.0286 per share and an immediate dilution to new stockholders of $0.3798 per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution: Assumed public offering price per share $ 0.4084 Net tangible book value per share before this offering $(0.0496) Increase attributable to new investors $ 0.4084 Net tangible book value per share after this offering $ 0.0210 Dilution per share to new shareholders $ 0.3798 The offering price of the $3.0 million SEDA Shares is based on the then-existing market price. In order to give prospective investors an idea of the dilution per share they may experience, we have prepared the following table showing the dilution per share at various assumed offering prices:
Assumed No. of Shares to Dilution per Share Offering Price Be Issued (1) to New Investors -------------- -------------- ---------------- 0.3063 9,794,319 $ 0.388 0.4492 6,678,540 $ 0.386 0.4900 6,122,449 $ 0.387 (1) This represents the number of $3.0 million SEDA Shares that are registered hereunder in connection with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement.
-12- USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of the shares by the selling security holders. Any proceeds that we receive from the exercise of outstanding warrants or options will be used by us for general working capital. The actual allocation of proceeds realized from the exercise or sale of these securities will depend upon the amount and timing of such exercises, our operating revenues and cash position at such time and our working capital requirements. There can be no assurances that any of the outstanding warrants will be exercised. Under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, subject to certain limitations as described elsewhere herein, we can issue and sell up to $10.0 million of our common stock. We have included $3.0 million of SEDA Shares in the registration statement which is a part of this prospectus. In the event we wish to issue and sell up to the balance of the $10.0 million under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement we will be required to file additional registration statements and those registration statements must be declared effective by the SEC. We will use the proceeds from the sale of the $3.0 million SEDA Shares for general working capital. Pending utilization of the proceeds as described above, the net proceeds of the offering will be deposited in interest bearing accounts or invested in money market instruments, government obligations, certificates of deposits or similar short-term investment grade interest bearing investments. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of our operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. For accounting purposes, our merger with Freight Rate, Inc. was treated as a recapitalization of Freight Rate, Inc. and accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Therefore, the financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Freight Rate, Inc. as if it had been the reporting entity since inception. In February 2004 we changed our fiscal year from May 31 to June 30 in order to align our quarterly reporting obligations with calendar quarters. As a result the consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus include consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2004and May 31, 2003, and the transition period associated with the changed fiscal year which is the one month period ended June 30, 2003. OVERVIEW We operate as an application service provider (ASP) that delivers supply chain, tracking and logistics information to the freight industry. We did not begin reporting revenue until the last part of fiscal 2003 following our March 2003 merger with Freight Rate, Inc. We provide logistics information and services to shippers that need to have truckloads of goods transported to or from their facilities. We also provide logistics information and services to trucking companies (carriers) that operate fleets of trucks which enable these companies to manage the utilization of their transportation assets and personnel. Our mission is to provide our members with easily accessible and useful information that allows them to be more profitable by improving the utilization of transportation assets and optimizing the efficiency of the supply chain. We began providing our freight transportation and implementation services in October 2002 and we began providing logistics information access services in March 2003. A key component of our business model is building our customer base so that we have a sufficient number of shippers and carriers utilizing our Web-based P2S MobileMarket(TM) system so that when a shipper customer wants to move a load of freight we can offer one or more carriers with available trucks and trailers that meet their criteria. We have been able to increase the number of our shipper customers from whom we generated revenues from approximately five at the end of fiscal 2003 to approximately 17 at the end of fiscal 2004. Our shipper customers include companies such as International Paper, Nestle Waters, Tyco International, Ltd., Tofutti Brands, Luckey Logistics, Gold Coast Freightways, Associated Grocers, Caruso Foods, Compass Roadmaster, Paper Pak and Valmont Industries. -13- We are presently able to identify available capacity among our carrier customers to move only a very small percentage of these loads. Given the tens of thousand of transportation routes in the U.S., in order to successfully build our company we must substantially increase the number of our carrier customers in order to capture a greater percentage of our shipper customer's inbound and outbound transportation business. During fiscal 2004 we spent $90,134 in the marketing of our company's services to potential carriers in a effort to increase our carrier based as compared with $9,981 spent in fiscal 2003. We currently have approximately 400 carriers who have entered into carrier agreements with us ^as compared with approximately 43 of carriers at May 31, 2003. ^We have used approximately 19 of these carriers to transport freight for our shipper customers based upon the geographical locations of the particular shipper customer. We intend to continue to increase our marketing efforts during fiscal 2005, including utilizing trade publications, transportation industry websites and direct mail as well as company participation in industry trade shows and trade organizations. We are pursuing opportunities to provide logistics information and services to government agencies responsible for ensuring the safe and secure transportation of goods in containers aboard ships coming to U.S. ports. We believe that our P2S MobileMarket(TM), which was designed to capture and display vast quantities of logistics information, will assist these agencies to accomplish their goals. The information available from our P2S MobileMarket (TM) is also useful to maritime companies, logistics companies, container leasing and manufacturing companies, freight forwarders, warehouse mangers and other companies that provide freight management services. We also are in discussions with several technology and defense companies that, in response to the Homeland Security Act and Operation Safe Commerce, are collaborating to develop solutions that address global transportation security issues. We believe that our secure, wireless, Internet-based system which uses a combination of global positioning satellite technologies can become a key component in the security solutions being developed by other companies to counteract the threat of terrorism. Our system is capable of capturing and processing data transmitted wirelessly from other technologies that could be part of any comprehensive security system. Examples of these technologies may include radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags fastened to containers and/or trailers, smart tags affixed to the goods inside shipping containers, electronic seals applied at the time the container is loaded and geo fencing to alert a truck's owner or authorities if a vehicle deviates from its designated route. There can be no assurances, however, that we will ever enter into any agreements with the companies we are in discussions with or that we will ever generate any significant revenues. -14- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FISCAL YEAR 2004 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 2003 REVENUE Total revenue generated during fiscal year 2004 increased by $1,072,082, or approximately 105% as compared with total revenue generated during fiscal year 2003. This increase consisted of the following: - Freight transportation revenue increased $1,295,203, or approximately 268%, in fiscal year 2004 from fiscal year 2003. Approximately 66%, or $860,738, of this increase was attributable to revenue from Tire Kingdom, our largest customer. The remainder of the revenue increase was attributable to an increase in the number of our shipper customers from approximately five in fiscal 2003 to approximately 17 in fiscal 2004, as well as our having generated revenue for an entire 12 month period during fiscal 2004 as compared to only eight months in fiscal 2003. We anticipate that revenue from freight transportation will increase in fiscal 2005 as discussed below. - Revenue from access services increased $201,949 in fiscal 2004, or approximately 229%, from fiscal year 2003. This revenue is attributable to a single customer, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc., under a contract which was completed, paid in full and thenterminated in January 2004. The increase was attributable to revenue from this contract for approximately eight months during fiscal 2004 (until the date of termination of the contract) versus approximately two months in fiscal 2003. Access services provide unlimited use of the information available through the MobileMarket(TM) for a fixed monthly fee. While we market these services to our existing and potential customer base, we cannot predict if we will report significant revenue from access services in future periods. - Revenue from implementation services decreased $425,070, or approximately 95%, in fiscal 2004 from fiscal year 2003. This revenue was attributable to a single customer, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc., under a contract which was substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2003. Implementation services include design, programming and testing of custom developed interfaces that permit the MobileMarket(TM) to communicate and share data with a customer's existing computer software. While we market these services to our existing and potential customer base, we cannot predict if we will report significant revenue from implementation services in future periods. We anticipate that revenue will continue to increase in fiscal 2005. We expect that our increased sales and marketing efforts which were begun in fiscal 2004 will result in additional shipper customers which from whom we will generate increased revenues from freight transportation services. Our business model also includes, subject to the availability of sufficient financing, the acquisition of one or more truck transportation services companies which, if consummated, will also increase our revenue. We are not, however, a party to any acquisition agreements as of the date of this prospectus. Finally, we entered into a letter of intent with L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. in October 2004 and expect to enter into additional research and development or similar agreements related to global transportation security with other technology and/or defense companies that will generate additional revenue during fiscal 2005. The non-binding letter of intent with L-3 Communications relates to joint efforts on projects related to monitoring applications associated with container tracking and security status as well as carrier and shipper logistics. The final terms of our agreement with L-3 are to be set forth in a binding, definitive agreement. There can be no assurances, however, that we will enter into a definitive agreement with L-3 Communications or, if we do, that we will ever generate any significant revenue or profits from such agreement. OPERATING EXPENSES Total operating expenses incurred during fiscal year 2004 increased by $3,593,863, or approximately 161%, as compared with total operating expenses incurred during fiscal year 2003. This increase consisted of freight transportation costs rising by almost the same percentage as the increase in freight transportation revenue, as well as to increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses associated with the increase in the number of employees and consultants. -15- Freight transportation expenses, consist of charges from trucking companies for providing the transportation services we arranged for our shipper customers, increased by $1,107,815 or approximately 234%, in fiscal year 2004 as compared with fiscal year 2003. Freight transportation expenses are variable costs that are expected to increase relatively the same percentage as freight transportation revenue. The percentage increase during fiscal year 2004 was less than the 268% increase in freight transportation revenue due to an increase in our gross margin to approximately 11% in fiscal year 2004 from approximately 2% in fiscal year 2003. We were able to increase our gross margin by obtaining higher prices from our shipper customers in fiscal year 2004 than in fiscal year 2003 when we provided a significant amount of our services at cost to our largest customers while establishing and building our relationships with them. We expect freight transportation expenses to increase proportionately with the increase in freight transportation revenue in fiscal year 2005. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2,322,133 or approximately 145%, to$3,920,842 in fiscal year 2004 from $1,598,709 in fiscal year 2003. Approximately 75% of this increase was attributable to increases in salaries, benefits and consulting fees and the remainder of the increase was attributable to increases in legal, accounting, rent, sales and marketing expenses. Salaries, benefits and consulting expenses increased by $1,750,532 or approximately 166% in fiscal year 2004 from fiscal year 2003. Included in this increase were the following: - Salaries and benefits increased by $814,921, or approximately 117%, in fiscal 2004 to $1,509,909 from $694,988 in fiscal year 2003, accounting for approximately 47% of the increase in total salaries, benefits and consulting expenses. This increase primarily was due to an increase in the number of our non-research and development employees to 23 at the end of fiscal year 2004 from 12 at the end of fiscal year 2003, of which 10 became employees during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. This increase was also due to higher compensation levels of many of these employees which was below industry average compensation levels in fiscal year 2003 while we were a development stage company. - Consulting fees increased by $935,611, or approximately 258%, in fiscal year 2004 to$1,298,396 from $362,785 in fiscal year 2003, accounting for approximately 53% of the increase in consulting fees. This increase was attributed to the larger number of financial advisors and technology and other consultants that we engaged in fiscal year 2004 versus fiscal year 2003. Non-cash compensation in the form of common stock, stock options or warrants valued at $1,053,965 represented approximately 82% of total consulting fees for fiscal year 2004. We expect salaries, benefits and consulting expenses in fiscal year 2005 to remain relatively constant with fiscal year 2004, with increases in salaries and fringe benefits associated with additional employees are anticipated to be offset in part by a comparable decline in consulting expenses. The most significant expenses accounting for the remaining $571,601 increase in total selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal year 2004 as compared with fiscal year 2003 were the following: - Legal and accounting fees increased by $143,177 or approximately 106% to $277,620 during fiscal year 2004 from $134,443 in fiscal year 2003. This increase resulted from higher legal and accounting fees related to public reporting requirements, litigation and other legal matters incurred in the ordinary course of business in fiscal year 2004 compared with fiscal year 2003. While we do not anticipate any legal expenses related to litigation settlements in fiscal 2005, we do expect overall legal and accounting expenses to continue to increase in fiscal year 2005, but at a lower rate than in fiscal year 2004. The most likely areas attributable to such projected increases are associated with our continued compliance with provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, including new provisions which will phase in during fiscal 2005 and beyond, fees and costs related to capital raising transactions, potential mergers and acquisitions, if any and preparation of a greater number of agreements with customers. -16- - Rent expense increased by $89,230 or approximately 276% to $121,586 in fiscal year 2004 from $26,712 in fiscal year 2003 as we moved to a much larger facility in Boca Raton, Florida in June 2003 to accommodate our growth in personnel and operations. We expect rent expense for fiscal year 2005 to be approximately $190,000. - Travel, meals and entertainment expenses increased by $92,157 or approximately 103% to $181,791 in fiscal year 2004 from $89,634 in fiscal year 2003 as a result of additional travel to existing and potential shipper customers, trade shows and conventions, vendors and potential investors. We expect travel, meals and entertainment expenses in fiscal year 2005 to increase as we increase the amount of travel to attract and implement our services for new shipper customers, to evaluate non-asset based trucking companies that are potential acquisition candidates and to collaborate with technology and/or defense companies related to global transportation security. - Advertising and marketing expenses, including convention and trade show expenses, increased by $80,153 or approximately 803% to $90,134 in fiscal year 2004 from $9,981 in fiscal year 2003 as we began advertising and marketing, including participating in national and regional transportation industry conventions and trade shows, to introduce our products and services to our target markets during fiscal year 2004. We did very little marketing and did not participate in any trade shows in fiscal year 2003 as we were not ready for these types of promotional activities during that time period. We expect advertising and marketing expenses in fiscal year 2005 to continue to increase as we increase our advertising to shippers and carriers in trade publications, transportation industry websites and through direct mail, attend more conventions and trade shows and join more industry organization and associations. Research and development expenses increased $163,915 or approximately 105% in fiscal year 2004 as compared with fiscal year 2003. This increase was primarily due to an increase of two additional employees in this department as well as an increase in the compensation level of many of these employees in fiscal year 2004 which was below industry average compensation levels in fiscal year 2003. These employees design, program and test all of the computer software applications related to our logistics information system. We expect research and development expenses to be higher during fiscal year 2005 than fiscal year 2004 as a result of a full 12 months of higher salaries. OTHER EXPENSES Total other income (expense) decreased by $622,768 or approximately 61%, in fiscal year 2004 as compared with fiscal year 2003. This decrease primarily consisted of: - Litigation settlement expenses decreased by $1,002,098, or 100%, in fiscal year 2004 versus fiscal year 2003. Expenses in fiscal year 2003 represented the value of 1,698,472 shares of our common stock issued to two former consulting firms in settlement of disputed agreements following mediation of the matter. We do not anticipate any further litigation settlement expenses in fiscal year 2005. -17- - Interest expense increased by $283,519, or approximately 232%, in fiscal year 2004 versus fiscal year 2003. The fiscal year 2004 interest expense primarily consisted of interest of: - $130,173, including $81,383 of non-cash expense related to the issuance of shares of our common stock associated with $340,000 of short-term promissory notes issued in December 2003 and January 2004 that were repaid in March 2004, - $175,912 of interest on our $1,747,000 principal amount 14.25% secured convertible debentures issued in March and April 2004; and - $72,500 associated with a $125,000 short-term convertible promissory note issued in March 2003 that was repaid in September 2003 with shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. We expect interest expense to be approximately $850,000 in fiscal year 2005 assuming no conversions or redemptions of our Series B 5% or 14.25% secured convertible debentures and projected additional debt in the form of a revolving credit facility secured primarily by our accounts receivable averaging approximately $500,000 which we may seek to obtain during fiscal 2005. We do not, however, have any commitments for any accounts receivable financing as of the date of this prospectus. - Income from forgiveness of debt, which was associated with accrued salaries and notes in fiscal year 2003, decreased by $93,074 or 100% in fiscal year 2004. We do not expect to have any income from forgiveness of debt in fiscal year 2005. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We have experienced losses and negative cash flows from operations since our inception, and our independent auditors' report on our financial statements for fiscal 2004 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. As of June 30, 2004, we had an accumulated deficit of $12,759,197, a stockholders' deficit of $1,131,636, and cash and cash equivalents of $832,130. At June 30, 2004, we had a working capital surplus of $603,380 as compared with a working capital deficit of $216,783 at June 30, 2003. This $820,163 increase in working capital was attributed to a $742,989 increase in current assets and a $77,174 decrease in current liabilities. The increase in current assets during this period consisted of a $768,812 increase in cash, a $29,220 increase in prepaid insurance and a $55,044 decrease in accounts receivable, net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The decrease in current liabilities during this period consisted of a $308,000 decrease in short-term notes payable and a $21,513 decrease in accrued salaries partially offset by a $159,241 increase in accounts payable, and a $93,098 increase in accrued expenses. During fiscal year 2004, our cash balance increased by $768,812. This increase was attributed to $2,598,189 used in operating activities and $79,773 used in investing activities offset in part by $3,446,774 provided by financing activities. During fiscal year 2003, our cash balance decreased by $17,627. This decrease was attributed to $826,368 used in operating activities and $130,663 used in investing activities offset in part by $939,404 provided by financing activities. -18- Net cash used in operating activities for fiscal 2004 of $2,598,189 consisted of our net loss of $4,134,885 partially offset by $1,373,846 of non-cash expenses and $162,850 provided by the net change in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash expenses primarily consisted of $1,287,711 of expenses associated with the issuance of our common stock, options and warrants as payment for services, interest, compensation, conversions and litigation settlement. Net cash used in operating activities of $826,368 in fiscal 2003 consisted of our net loss of $2,235,872 partially offset by $1,356,290 of non-cash expenses and $53,214 of cash provided by the net changes in operating assets and liabilities. Non-cash expenses primarily consisted of $1,402,553 of expenses associated with the issuance of our common stock for services and pursuant to a litigation settlement. Net cash used in investing activities in fiscal years 2004 and 2003 consisted of $79,773 and $130,663, respectively, and was used to purchase various fixed assets including computers, furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements. Net cash provided by financing activities of $3,446,774 in fiscal year 2004 included $2,109,916 received from the issuance of our Series B 5% and 14.25% secured convertible debentures, $1,110,960 received from the issuance of shares of our Series B and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $340,000 received from issuance of promissory notes and $285,898 received from the issuance of shares of our common stock which was partially offset by $400,000 in repayments of promissory notes. Net cash provided by financing activities of $939,404 in fiscal year 2003 included $217,000 received from the issuance of convertible promissory notes, $225,000 received from the exercise of stock options, $195,720 received from the issuance of convertible preferred stock and $328,500 received from the issuance of shares of our common stock which was partially offset by $26,816 in repayments of promissory notes. We estimate that our cash on hand at June 30, 2004 plus $900,000 in net proceeds we received from Cornell Capital Partners, LP following the filing in September 2004 of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be sufficient to fund our operating activities until approximately December 31, 2004. ^Our anticipated commitments for capital expenditures during fiscal year 2005 is $30,000.^ We will need additional working capital to fund both our current operations and our anticipated growth. As described below, we have included up to $3.0 million SEDA Shares to be sold to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. following the date of this prospectus to provide additional working capital for our company. We entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP on June 28, 2004 pursuant to which Cornell has agreed to purchase from us, at our option, up to $10,000,000 of our common stock during the two years after the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, including the shares to be sold to Cornell, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have included $3.0 million SEDA Shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will be required to file additional registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission and those registration statements must be declared effective in order for us to issue and sell any additional shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement in excess of the $3.0 million SEDA Shares. We will have the right to sell up to $500,000 of our shares to Cornell as frequently as every seven trading days. The share price for such sales will be calculated at 98% of the lowest price (using the daily volume weighted average price) of our common stock during the five trading days following the date on which we notify Cornell of our intent to sell them the shares. There are no assurances, however, that the Securities and Exchange Commission will declare our registration statement effective. In the event the registration statement does not become effective, prior to using all of our cash on hand we will be required to seek additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to find such capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all. -19- Our future capital requirements depend primarily on the rate at which we can decrease our use of cash to fund operations. Cash used for operations will be affected by numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, our ability to successfully market our products and services, the degree to which competitive products and services are introduced to the market, and our ability to attract key personnel as we grow. As long as our cash flow from operations remains insufficient to completely fund operations, we will continue depleting our financial resources and seeking additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of Power2Ship held by existing stockholders will be reduced and those stockholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain certain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our common stock. There can be no assurance that acceptable financing to fund our ongoing operations and for future acquisitions or for the integration and expansion of existing operations can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to continue our existing operations and to continue to implement our growth and acquisition strategy could suffer if we are unable to raise the additional funds on acceptable terms which will have the effect of adversely affecting our ongoing operations and limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain profitable operations in the future. We are constantly evaluating our cash needs and existing burn rate, and we have a strategy whereby certain non-essential personnel and administrative costs will be reduced or eliminated so that we may continue to meet operating obligations until such time as we can raise additional working capita. If we are unable, however, to secure the necessary additional working capital as needed, we may be forced to curtail some or all of our operations. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES ----------------------- As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by our annual report on Form 10-KSB, being June 30, 2004, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our company's management, including our company's Chief Executive Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our company's Chief Executive Officer concluded that our company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no significant changes in our company's internal controls or in other factors, which could significantly affect internal control subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation. Disclosure controls and procedures and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. BUSINESS We are an application service provider (ASP) that offers a highly accessible, Web-based information and communication system for certain segments of the truck transportation industry. We have developed our P2S MobileMarket(TM) system, which collects, consolidates, processes and presents real-time, transportation-related data that we believe is valuable to logistics personnel working for shippers and carriers. Our customers are both companies shipping full truckloads of goods to or from their facilities, whom we refer to as shippers, and companies transporting this freight, who we refer to as carriers. -20- THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY Trucks dominate freight movement in North America. Generally, there are between four and seven separate truck movements required to make a typical finished good. For example, raw materials are transported to component manufacturers, components are shipped to assemblers, assemblers send goods to distributors and distributors transport goods to retailers. Even for imported products, a truck typically is involved at the dock or airport, and for final delivery to the customer. The trucking industry has been forced to offer specialized services in an effort to accommodate the demands of different products. For example, some products require refrigeration, others require certain delivery guarantees, others are only shipped in small loads, and yet others require a combination of different freight services. We believe that our P2S MobileMarket(TM) will benefit the following segments of the trucking industry: - Truckload carriers who use their trucking assets to pick-up and deliver goods only for shippers needing the full capacity of a given truck are the largest and most diverse for-hire segment. These carriers are typically non-union operators that can operate as one driver in the vehicle or they can use driving teams to increase vehicle productivity; - Owner-operators, often called independent truckers, who own or lease a single truck or very small fleets. These independents play a vital role in the growth of many carriers who use them to expand operations without adding the fixed costs associated with equipment and drivers; and - Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carriers which, as the name implies, use their trucking assets to pick-up and deliver goods for several shippers on the same trip. Many of these companies are characterized by networks of consolidation centers and satellite terminals. The average haul for national LTL carriers is about 650 miles and for regional LTL carrier approximately is approximately 250 miles. Additional carrier segments that could benefit primarily from the real-time tracking feature of our P2S MobileMarket(TM) include: - Private fleets operated by medium and large shippers who account for more than 50% of all truck movements and 35% of truckload volume, predominately medium to short haul. The visibility of the moving inventory is of substantial value for this type of movement. These carriers are prime targets for our GPS solution with the modified asset tracking tool. - Dedicated contract carriers that are set up and run according to a specific shipper's needs. In addition, they offer other services such as warehousing and logistics planning. The visibility of the moving inventory is also of substantial value for this type of movement. These carriers are also prime targets for our GPS solution with our modified asset tracking tool. - Van lines that move household goods, office equipment, trade show and museum displays. -21- Freight rates increase as shipping requirements become more specialized. Shipping rates are extremely inconsistent across the different market segments based on supply and demand of transportation assets availability. These price variances, as well as operational inefficiencies, contribute to higher transportation costs and lower profit margins for shippers. Shippers have been forced to look for alternatives to remain competitive. We believe that the trucking industry can respond to this need to lower rates through the implementation of a more efficient shipping and communication system. To compete effectively today, we believe that small and medium sized trucking companies must use computer and wireless communication systems to enhance customer service and productivity and attract as well as to enhance their abilities to retain quality drivers and other personnel by providing competitive compensation, fringe benefits and other incentives. We believe that our MobileMarket(TM) will cost-effectively enable carriers to meet these challenges. THE P2S MOBILEMARKET(TM) We designed our P2S MobileMarket(TM) to help smaller motor carriers compete more effectively with large carriers, while also providing valuable logistics services to both small and large shippers. This information, accessed through a password-protected portion of our Web site at www.power2ship.com, helps shippers and carriers by enabling them to minimize excess transportation capacity of carriers, execute freight transactions online and easily track the movement of loads and/or trucking assets online. The P2S MobileMarket(TM) is a complex data exchange formulated to identify in real-time the current locations of drivers, with tractors and trailers, and their destinations. Rather than just knowing which driver and truck are connected with each shipment, the MobileMarket(TM) determines when and where available capacity will exist. This current and future capacity is captured in our programs and our shipper customers are able to sort capacity data and identify the closest available carrier at the best price. This sorted capacity data is displayed online to the shipper for its selection. For this software to function, certain information must be collected and maintained in our MobileMarket(TM). We have built a tool for carriers to use, without charge, which extracts the information required to execute the transactions electronically. This tool, which we refer to as our Asset Management Tool, maintains: - descriptions of carriers' terminal locations and facilities; - drivers' names, qualification, work schedule, licenses and permits; - tractor manufacturer, model, type and year; - trailer manufacturer, model, type and year; - rates for transportation services; and - lanes of transportation services. We believe that this information enables carriers' dispatchers to manage their trucking assets more effectively by tracking these assets, and it also helps them to determine which trucking asset combination is recommended for a given shipment. At the same time, the unused capacity, or future unused capacity, is displayed in the P2S MobileMarket(TM) for our shipper customers to view and select as shipments are input. -22- In order to complete the marketplace concept for the shipper side of the transaction, we built a shipping tracking and load input screen into the MobileMarket(TM) which provides shippers with a single place to view the location and status of each load booked, en-route and delivered. This screen also consolidates information collected from all carriers currently being used by our shipper customer and, on posted shipments, displays the names and prices of any carriers with available capacity to move the shipment. We believe our product enables our shipper customers to easily track all of their shipments no matter how many carriers they use, as well as being able to identify those carriers with available capacity closest to their pick-up locations for the lowest prices. Some of the information collected to create the shipment tracking and load input screen includes: - shippers' distribution or pick-up locations, including hours of operation, number of docks, and shipping and receiving hours; - shippers' preferences/requirements for carriers, such as types of equipment, amount of insurance and historical performance; and - shipper's payment methods and terms. Once this information has been collected from shippers and carriers, our MobileMarket(TM) facilitates the execution of transportation transactions by creating: - scheduled and actual pick-up and delivery times; - electronic bills of lading; - alerts upon exception generation which are delays in scheduled pick-ups or deliveries; - real-time asset/shipment locations; and - electronic versions of receiver's signatures upon shipment delivery. We charge the shippers who use our P2S MobileMarket(TM) primarily based upon their actual usage of the system without requiring them to purchase any software or hardware. Carriers who use our system have unlimited access and use of the system for free, although they may choose to purchase vehicle locator and communication devices offered by us to enhance the benefits they derive from the system. Some of the benefits that we believe shippers may derive from using the P2S MobileMarket(TM) include: - a single, consolidated online page listing any carriers meeting their pre-defined load, performance and pricing requirements having excess capacity (equipment) to move their loads; - online access to carriers' profiles and historical performance information prior to selecting the desired carriers; - reduces the time spent searching for carriers thus enabling logistics personnel to concentrate on other transportation tasks; -23- - frequently updated location information of inbound loads and, if the shippers have a captive fleet, outbound loads thus enabling shippers to more accurately schedule advertising campaigns, warehouse personnel, etc.; - receive automatic notification and alerts of probable delivery delays providing more time to develop and implement contingent plans; - electronic bill of lading and exception management tools permit exact settlements, significantly improving relations with vendors and carriers; - customized management reporting utilizing historical data is available for an additional charge; - custom development of interfaces to legacy systems of large shippers; and - access to logistics experts that will use third-party software to analyze historical data and recommend supply chain optimization strategies. Some of the benefits that we believe carriers may derive from using the P2S MobileMarket(TM) include: - free use of an online asset management tool to set-up, store, update and track their trucking assets, such as tractors, trailers and drivers, and provide trucking asset utilization reports; - frequently updated location information available to constantly track trucking assets; - receive automatic notification and alerts to pro-actively address possible delays and problems; - loads offered to qualified carriers with excess capacity without freight brokerage fee or sales commission; - we pay carriers and assume responsibility for collecting payment from shippers; - accelerated payment options; - damaged or improper quantities of goods reported to all parties resulting in faster resolution; and - access to historical transaction data for reporting and performance metrics. During fiscal 2004 we spent approximately $320,000 on research and development as compared to approximately $156,000 spent during fiscal 2003. Our research and development expenses are primarily salaries and related to the development and enhancement of our software. HOW WE GENERATE REVENUE The majority of our continuing revenue is generated by providing freight transportation services. We provide freight transportation for our shipper customers using various independent carriers located throughout the United States. The price we charge for these freight transportation services depends upon several factors, including the distance the freight is being transported, the type of transportation equipment required to move the freight, the value of the freight and the volume of available loads near the locations where the freight is delivered. Generally, prices range from approximately $1.00 per mile up to $10.00 per mile multiplied by the distance the freight is being transported. The freight rates we charge our shipper customers include all the direct costs of the shipment as negotiated with the carriers transporting the freight and our, gross profit margin that generally ranges from approximately 7.4% to 10.7% . -24- During fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2004, we also generated revenue from additional services provided pursuant to a contract with one customer, The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, including: - access services revenue which included unlimited use of the information available through our P2S Mobile Market(TM) for a fixed monthly fee, as well as a virtual private network (VPN) fee which provided our customer with data encryption and other extra security measures for their data; and ^ - implementation services revenue which were software development fees which provided for the design, programming and testing of a custom developed interface to our P2S Mobile Market(TM). The fees charged The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company for these services were determined by us based upon the scope of services provided. While we continue to market these access services and implementation services to our existing and potential customer base, we cannot predict if we will have additional revenue from these types of services in future periods. FUTURE PRODUCT OFFERINGS ------------------------ In the future, as we continue to expand our operations and introduce new services, we may also generate revenue from new product offerings including: - monthly subscription fees of $99 charged to shippers for unlimited access to the P2S MobileMarket(TM). We do not presently charge subscription fees to any of our shipper customers since a free introductory period is being offered in order to attract more customers to this service. We plan to charge monthly subscription fees during 2005. - logistics optimization fees charged to shippers seeking to identify and implement strategies to improve the efficiency of their supply chain. In order to support this service we will use sophisticated logistics optimization software to analyze the historical information collected for a particular shipper, identify embedded trends of activity, and recommend methods of improving complete supply chain strategies for them. This service will become available to all shippers once they have sufficient historical information collected in the P2S MobileMarket(TM). - monthly fees for the use of vehicle locator and communication devices. Our present business model envisions offering our carrier customers three year contracts, with a monthly fee of $79 per truck, which will provide the carrier with wireless access to the P2S MobileMarket(TM) and customer support. Our mobile device consists of a vehicle locator device (GPS) and a handheld personal digital assistant (PDA). The GPS is easily installed in the truck's cab and connected to the truck's battery for power. It uses global positioning system technology to determine specific latitude and longitude coordinates. Next, an internal modem in the GPS wirelessly transmits the location data to the nearest cellular tower. This data is then sent over a terrestrial network to reach the Internet and transmitted to the P2S MobileMarket(TM). The PDA contains our proprietary software that enables communication of location and other transportation-related information between drivers and the P2S MobileMarket(TM) when connected to the GPS. We have negotiated agreements to provide wireless connectivity to carriers at very competitive rates with T-Mobile. We have provided a total of 16 of our vehicle locator and communication devices to six carriers on a no-charge trial basis while we were finalizing this product offering. We recently began offering these devices to our carrier customers at the $79 per truck monthly fee; however, we have not generate any revenue from this product offering as of September 30, 2004. -25- We also are collaborating with several technology and defense companies that, in response to the Homeland Security Act and Operation Safe Commerce, are working to develop solutions that address global transportation security issues. We believe that our secure, wireless, Internet-based system which uses a combination of global positioning satellite technologies can become a key component in the security solutions being developed by other companies to counteract the threat of terrorism. Our system is capable of capturing and processing data transmitted wirelessly from other technologies that may be part of any comprehensive security system. Examples of these technologies include radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags fastened to the outside of containers and/or trailers, smart tags affixed to the goods inside shipping containers, electronic seals applied at the time the container is loaded and the ability to alert a truck's owner or authorities if a vehicle deviates from its designated route. In October 2004 we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with L-3 Communications Security and Detection Systems, Inc. which contemplates joint efforts on projects related to monitoring applications associated with container tracking and security status as well as carrier and shipper logistics. The letter of intent also sets forth that the specific roles and responsibilities of both parties will be determined on a project-by-project basis commencing at a meeting to take place no later than October 31, 2004. The collaboration is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement with L-3 Communications. There can be no assurances, however, that we will enter into any definitive agreements with L-3 Communication or any of the other companies we are in discussions with or that we will ever generate any significant revenue or profits from such agreements. SUPPORT FOR OUR P2S MOBILEMARKET(TM) In September 2002, we entered into a three-year agreement with BellSouth Corporation to provide a comprehensive communications solution for the P2S MobileMarket(TM) at BellSouth's highly secure-business center in Miami, Florida. In August 2003, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) assumed BellSouth's obligations under this agreement to provide us with dedicated hosting and support services to us at this facility. Our production web server, which houses all of our front-end web pages or application interfaces, and our production database server, which houses all of the back-end database functionality and information, are backed-up daily and two months of backup tapes are stored by IBM at their location. In the second quarter of 2003, we entered into a non-exclusive distributor agreement with Wireless Links, Inc., a developer and marketer of GPS locator devices. Under the terms of this agreement we have the right to license and distribute these products to our customers located in North America. This company has agreed to a special pricing arrangement that is based upon quantities ordered, a monthly license fee of $15.00 per device and 10% of any activation commission we receive as a result of activation of the devices on wireless networks. These costs are factored into the 36-month access/service contracts which we enter into with carriers described above. We are obligated to make these monthly licensing fees per device to the company even if our customer is not paying our monthly fees. The agreement provides for termination by either party under certain circumstances, and upon the expiration of the initial three-year term is renewable for successive one-year terms upon the consent of the parties. -26- KEY CUSTOMERS All of our revenue for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2003 was derived from two customers, The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company and Tire Kingdom, which represented approximately 53% and 47%, respectively of our revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Tire Kingdom represented approximately 64% of our revenue and The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company represented approximately 15% of our revenue. Nearly all of the revenue from The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was derived under the terms of a license and customization agreement which was terminated in January 2004 and does not represent recurring revenues to us. SALES, MARKETING AND STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS We market our products and services to both shippers and carriers. Our sales and marketing efforts to expand our carrier base are focused on small to mid-sized carriers. We use a combination of direct sales calls and trade show appearances to market our products and services. Our in-house sales organization is currently comprised of three individuals and supported by an implementation manager. We anticipate expanding this organization as our business increases, and we do not anticipate that we will have any difficulty in locating experienced personnel to fill any new sales and marketing positions we may create in the future. In June 2004 we engaged Palm Beach Media Associates, Inc. to market our P2S MobileMarket(TM). Palm Beach Media Associates has assisted us in preparing marketing materials including several PowerPoint presentations, print collateral materials, hats and signage. We have begun running print advertising in The Trucker Magazine, magazine which serves the trucking market including for-hire carriers, over the road drivers, owners/operators and other trucking management and which has a qualified circulation of approximately 181,000, Transportation Topics, a magazine serving regulated haulers for hire and private carriers and which has a qualified circulation of approximately 127,000, and Logistics Today, a magazine serving business responsible for logistics and the procurement of transportation services and which has a qualified circulation of approximately 77,000. In August 2004 we began a three-month Internet marketing campaign which is a marketing mix of web banners and email blasts on www.eyefortransport.com. ------------------------ In October 2004 we will introduce our Carrier Welcome Package which is a comprehensive user guide of our products and services that will be distributed to new carrier members. In June 2003, we entered into a strategic alliance with ARL, Inc. ARL, which does business under the name of American Road Line, is a freight brokerage service provided to motor carriers which was established in 1978. Over the years, it has grown from a small, family-owned trucking company into a large competitor with 80 agents nationwide and it maintains a large owner/operator and fleet owner base of equipment. ARL also has a brokerage division that has a carrier base of over 7,000 carriers. Under the terms of our strategic alliance with ARL we have agreed to identify and introduce owner-operators and fleet operators to ARL who may want to sign up with ARL. Any of these new owner-operators and fleet operators who sign up with ARL will become our member-carriers and will be required to install our wireless products in their trucks which electronically provides GPS and PDA information to the MobileMarket(TM). In September 2003, we entered into an oral agreement with Driver and Equipment Placement Services, a re-marketer of used transportation tractors for multiple financial institutions, to promote our MobileMarket(TM) to owner-operator customers as a tool for them to increase their profitability. -27- In September 2003, under an oral agreement we formed a strategic alliance with Zethcon Corporation to co-market our track and trace ASP solution, which is part of our ASP software that provides real-time visibility of in-transit inventory. Zethcon Corporation develops and markets warehouse management system and order management system solutions specifically tailored to third party logistics providers and manufacturers with extensive fulfillment requirements. Currently, Zethcon's customers have web-based, real time visibility of the movement of their goods within their "four walls." Our track and trace ASP solution adds real time visibility of shipments after they leave the warehouse. We have agreed to develop the interface between Zethcon's warehouse management system and our ASP software. In October 2003, we entered into an agreement with Comdata Corporation(R) which allows us to use the Comdata Express Cash system to settle with our carrier customers. This arrangement allows our carrier customers to access funds from freight transactions processed through the P2S MobileMarket(TM) with a private label Power2Ship Comdata card. Our carriers are able to withdraw funds transferred to them from us at no additional costs with the Comchek(R) convenience card at all locations that support the Comdata Network, or have funds direct deposited to their bank accounts. Our carrier customers can also access their funds from over 400,000 Cirrus(R) ATM locations and through the Maestro(R) network. In April 2004, we formed a strategic alliance with TruckersB2B, Inc. to offer our services to its fleets. TruckersB2B is a majority owned subsidiary of Celadon Group Inc. and is a leading provider of exclusive services and increased purchasing power to small and mid-sized trucking fleets. Through our logistics technology, TruckersB2B members will be able to enroll as P2S member carriers. In August 2004 we announced that we had completed the development and testing of the tools and infrastructure that will support the marketing campaign to TruckersB2B's 16,500 fleets representing over 435,000 trucks. COMPETITION ASP-based businesses such as ours are characterized by rapidly advancing technologies, increasing competition and a strong emphasis on proprietary products. We compete with a number of companies including Elogex, Lean Logistics, NetTrans, Internet Truck Stop, Truck-Load Information Center and Link Logistics. Virtually all of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources, operating history and brand recognition than we do. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through the establishment of collaborative arrangements with large, established companies. Although various companies offer software or services to address certain portions of our MobileMarket(TM) solution, we do not believe any of these companies offer the comprehensive, end-to-end solution available to our customers. There is no assurance that we will be able to effectively compete within our market segment. OUR HISTORY Power2Ship, formerly known as Jaguar Investments, Inc., was formed in Nevada on October 28, 1987. The company was initially a shell company with no business or operations. In December 2001 we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Premier Sports Media and Entertainment Group, Inc. in exchange for 1,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares of common stock issued by us to the Premier Sports Media and Entertainment Group shareholders in this transaction represented approximately 8% of our issued and outstanding common stock immediately after the transaction. Before this transaction we did not engage in any material business operations. -28- On March 11, 2003, we consummated a merger with Freight Rate, Inc. d/b/a Power2Ship, under which Freight Rate became our wholly owned subsidiary. At the effective time of the merger, the holders of Freight Rate's common and preferred stock, warrants and options exchanged those securities for the following of our securities: - 11,869,712 shares of our common stock, - options to acquire an aggregate of 13,986,679 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $.38 to $.75 per share, - common stock purchase warrants to acquire 3,913,204 shares of our common stock at exercise prices of $.75 to $1.75 per share, - 100,000 shares of our Series X Preferred Stock which are convertible on March 11, 2004 into shares of common stock based upon the degree to which a one-year funding schedule of up to $2.5 million is met. If the entire $2.5 million of funding is concluded, the Series X Preferred Stock will be cancelled. - 87,000 shares of our Series Y Preferred Stock issued to our CEO in exchange for an equal number of Freight Rate's Series C Convertible Preferred Stock owned by him at the time of the merger. In connection with the merger, R&M Capital Partners, Inc., a principal stockholder of our company prior to the merger with Freight Rate, agreed to cancel 2,650,000 shares of our common stock owned by them for no consideration. R&M Capital Partners, Inc., which was our largest stockholder prior to the merger, agreed to cancel these shares to satisfy a term of the merger agreement which required that the securities to be issued to Freight Rate in the transaction represent 70% of our fully diluted shares after the merger. For accounting purposes, the cancellation of shares was treated as part of the recapitalization. For accounting purposes, the transaction was treated as a recapitalization of Freight Rate and accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we issued an aggregate of 100,000 shares of our Series X Convertible Preferred Stock to holders of Freight Rate's common stock and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock prior to the transaction, including to Mr. Gass, a former member of our board of directors and Mr. Richard Hersh, our Chairman and CEO. Simultaneous with closing the merger we entered into a stock purchase agreement under which we sold 95% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Premier Sports Media and Entertainment Group to The DAR Group, Inc., an unaffiliated third party, in consideration for the forgiveness by The DAR Group of all of our indebtedness to The DAR Group of approximately $2.0 million and the assumption by The DAR Group of all of our liabilities as of the closing date of the stock purchase agreement. GOVERNMENT REGULATION The transportation industry has been subject to legislative and regulatory changes that have affected the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and cost of providing, transportation services. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future legislative and regulatory changes may have on the transportation industry. -29- We are subject to licensing and regulation as a transportation broker and are licensed by the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT"). In August 2002, Freight Rate, Inc. obtained a license from the DOT to engage in operations arranging or brokering transportation of freight (except household goods) by motor vehicle. Effective October 20, 2003 that license was transferred to Power2Ship, Inc. This DOT license remains effect so long as we maintain insurance coverage for the protection of the public as well as designation of our agents for service of process. We presently maintain insurance coverage in the amount of $250,000 for contingent cargo and $1,000,000 for contingent auto which we believe is sufficient for the protection of the public. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY To protect our proprietary rights, we rely generally on copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with employees and third parties, and agreements with consultants, vendors and customers, although we have not signed such agreements in every case. Despite such protections, a third party could, without authorization, copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property. We can give no assurance that our agreements with employees, consultants and others who participate in development activities will not be breached, or that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. In June 2004 we filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office entitled System and Method for Managing Logistics and Revenue Logistics for the Transportation of Freight. We also have filed applications to register certain of our trademarks and service marks in the United States. In general, there can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights through copyright, trademark and trade secret laws will be effective, if granted, or if granted that these protections will be sufficient so as to prevent misappropriation of our intellectual property. Our failure or inability to protect our proprietary rights could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. EMPLOYEES As of September 30, 2004, we had 27 full-time employees. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements, and we believe that we have satisfactory relationships with our employees. PROPERTIES Our principal executive offices are located in approximately 10,545 square feet of commercial office space at Congress Corporate Plaza, 903 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida. We lease these premises from an unaffiliated third party under a lease expiring in May 2007. This lease requires annual payments of base rent during fiscal years 2005 and 2006 of approximately $119,000 and $125,000, respectively, as well as approximately $50,000 per year for our proportionate share of operating costs for the premises. We have provided the landlord with a security deposit of approximately $27,700. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In January 2004, we were named as one of a number of defendants in a civil action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York titled Dale Sobek and Seema Bhagat vs. Joseph Quattrochi, Cardinal Capital Management, Inc., R&M Capital Partners, Inc., Power2Ship, Inc. and Madison Stock Transfer, Inc, case number 03CV10219. The lawsuit was filed by a stockholder of our company who purportedly acquired shares of our common stock from another of our stockholders in May 2002 and received additional shares as collateral from the selling stockholder. Following the transaction, the selling stockholder induced our transfer agent to issue it replacement shares for the shares of our common stock allegedly provided to the plaintiff as collateral. The plaintiff's are alleging breach of contract and racketeering and are seeking punitive damages from all defendants of $5,000,000 and $750,000 for conversion by certain of the defendants, including our company. We believe that the claim is without merit as it pertains to our company, and we have filed a motion to dismiss all claims with prejudice. The motion is pending judicial determination. -30- In April 2004, we obtained an order for provisional relief from the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, against Flow Capital Advisors et al in the matter of Power2Ship, Inc. vs. Flow Capital Advisors, Inc., Douglas F. Gass and Madison Stock Transfer, Inc. restraining Flow Capital from transferring or in any manner encumbering any securities of Power2Ship held by it. Flow Capital received 779,155 shares of our common stock and an option to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock, in addition to other compensation, pursuant to two consulting agreements between Flow Capital and Power2Ship. In our compliant we alleged that the first consulting agreement represented a wrongful usurping of corporate opportunity by the principal shareholder of Flow Capital and that both consulting agreements were fraudulently obtained through material omissions and misrepresentations made prior to, and after, entering into the consulting agreements. Mr. Douglas F. Gass, a control person of Flow Capital Advisors, is a former member of our board of directors. In May 2004, we initiated an arbitration proceeding under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Florida to resolve this dispute and discontinued our legal action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. In July 2004, Mr. Gass and Flow Capital Advisors entered a motion in the Broward County, Florida 17th Judicial Circuit Court to stay the arbitration. We submitted our answer to the complaint and counterclaims to the court on August 12, 2004. The court granted the motion to stay the arbitration and the matter remains pending.

DIRECTOR'S COMPENSATION We do not have any standard arrangements with members of our board of directors which provide them with compensation for any services provided as a director. In August 2003 at the sole discretion of the board of directors we issued Mr. Douglass Gass, who was then a member of our board of directors, 50,000 shares of our common stock which was valued at $31,500 as compensation for services rendered by him. In the future, our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to provide compensation to our independent, non-employee directors for their services on our board.

The plan is intended to further the growth and advance the best interests of our company, by supporting and increasing our ability to attract, retain and compensate persons of experience and ability and whose services are considered valuable, to encourage the sense of proprietorship in such persons, and to stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and success of Power2Ship. The plan provides for stock compensation through the award of shares of our common stock. The board of directors may appoint a Compensation Committee of the board of directors to administer the plan. In the absence of such appointment, our board of directors is responsible for the administration of this plan. To date, our board has not appointed a Compensation Committee to administer the plan. The board of directors has the sole power to award shares of common stock under the plan, as well as determining those eligible to receive an award of plan shares. Awards of shares under the plan may be made as compensation for services rendered, directly or in lieu of other compensation payable, as a bonus in recognition of past service or performance or may be sold to an employee. -37- The maximum number of shares which may be awarded under the plan is 5,000,000. At September 30, 2004, we have granted 3,481,000 shares under the plan. However, no award can be issued that would bring the total of all outstanding awards under the plan to more than 20% of the total number of shares of our common stock at the time outstanding. Awards may generally be granted to: * executive officers, officers and directors (including advisory and other special directors) of Power2Ship; * full-time and part-time employees of our company; * natural persons engaged by us as a consultant, advisor or agent; and * a lawyer, law firm, accountant or accounting firm, or other professional or professional firm engaged by us. Grants to employees may be made for cash, property, services rendered or other form of payment constituting lawful consideration under applicable law. Shares awarded other than for services rendered may not be sold at less than the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date, unless terminated earlier by the board of directors or unless extended by the board of directors, after which time no incentive award grants can be authorized under the plan. The board of directors has absolute discretion to amend the plan, however, the board has no authority to extend the term of the plan, to increase the number of shares subject to award under the plan or to amend the definition of "Employee" under the plan. LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS As authorized by the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation provide that none of our directors shall be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except liability for: - any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to our company or its stockholders; - acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; - unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock redemptions or repurchases; and - any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. This provision limits our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of the fiduciary duty of care except in the situations described above. This provision does not limit our rights or the rights of any stockholder to seek injunctive relief or rescission if a director breaches his duty of care. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws. Our by-laws require us to indemnify directors and officers against, to the fullest extent permitted by law, liabilities which they may incur under the circumstances described above. Our articles of incorporation further provide for the indemnification of any and all persons who serve as our director, officer, employee or agent to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons according to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. -38- CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS In June 2003, we granted 30,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Darden, our president, as compensation for services rendered by him which we valued at $23,700. In August 2003, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Douglas Gass, who was then a member of our board of directors, as compensation for services rendered by him which we valued at $31,500. In January 2004, we issued 25,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Gass, a former member of our board of directors, as compensation for services rendered by him which we valued at $10,625. In April 2004, we issued 25,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Urbanowicz, our Vice President of Information Technology, as compensation for services rendered by him which we valued at $9,500. All of the foregoing were issued pursuant to our 2001 Employee Stock Compensation Plan. On March 10, 2003, we entered into a two-year consulting agreement with Flow Capital Advisors, Inc., a corporate financial advisory firm of which Mr. Douglas Gass, a former member of our board of directors, is president to advise us in our funding and public relations activities. This agreement is now the subject of litigation as described elsewhere in this prospectus. On March 10, 2003, we issued Mr. Hersh, our CEO, a convertible promissory note in the amount of $135,000 in exchange for his forgiveness $147,520 of accrued salary. The interest rate of the note is 8% per annum and it has a maturity date of June 30, 2006. The outstanding principal balance of the note may be converted at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (a) $1.51 per share, or (b) 50% of the average of the closing bid price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, but not less than $0.75 per share. On September 28, 2003, we forgave a $20,000 short-term note from Mr. Hersh by reducing the outstanding balance of the convertible promissory note to $115,000. On March 10, 2003, we issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 to Mr. Michael Garnick, one of our principal stockholders, which bore interest at the rate of 5% per annum and it had a maturity date of April 10, 2004. We had used the funds for working capital. The holder of the note had the right to convert the outstanding principal balance of the note and interest accrued thereon into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.40 per share. On June 5, 2003, we borrowed an additional $100,000 from this stockholder, and we issued the lender a new convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $225,000. The new note bears interest of 5% per annum, has a maturity date of December 5, 2003 and has the same conversion provision as provided for in the original note. Subsequent to its issuance, this conversion provision in the new note was amended to change the conversion price to $0.79 per share which equaled the closing market price of our common stock on the issue date. We used these additional funds for working capital $100,000 of the principal amount of note was repaid on July 22, 2003. We have also granted the note holder warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.79 per share which expired on June 5, 2004. These warrants were valued at $16,650 and recorded as interest expense. Further, the new note has a prepayment provision requiring certain amounts of principal and interest accrued thereon to be repaid upon our receipt of capital in excess of specified amounts during each month of the term of the note. On August 9, 2003, the stockholder agreed to cancel the prepayment provision of the note in consideration for 125,000 shares of our common stock valued at $72,500. On September 18, 2003, the stockholder purchased 25,800 shares of our Series B preferred stock valued at $129,000 and paid for it by forgiving the $125,000 outstanding balance on the convertible note and accrued interest thereon. On March 6, 2003, we issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $175,000 to an unaffiliated stockholder. The interest rate of the note is 8% per annum and it has a maturity date of June 30, 2006. The holder of the note has the right to convert the outstanding principal balance of the note into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $1.51 per share, or (ii) 50% of the average of the closing bid price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion, but not less than $0.25 per share. In November 2002, Freight Rate lent Mr. Richard Hersh, our CEO, $20,000 under the terms of a short-term demand note bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. This transaction occurred prior to the reverse merger when Freight Rate was a private company. The note, including interest, has been paid in full. At May 31, 2002, Freight Rate owed its former Chairman, $83,733 relating to services performed under a consulting agreement which was cancelled on March 15, 2001. On March 6, 2003, the indebtedness was forgiven and converted to fully vested options to purchase 221,755 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.38 per share, resulting in a gain of $79,304. In March 2002, we repurchased 50,000 shares of our common stock owned by Freight Rate's former Chairman for aggregate consideration of $25,000. We issued him a non-interest bearing note that was paid in full by May 2003. From August 1, 2001 through May 31, 2003, we shared office facilities leased by a company owned by Freight Rate's former Chairman. The amount paid for rent for the year ended May 31, 2003 was $26,712 and for the year ended December 31, 2002 it was $21,783. Previously, Messrs. Hersh, Darden and Urbanowicz, officers and directors or key employees of our company, each individually owned a 10% interest in all of our intellectual property, including certain trademarks, service marks and patent rights to our ASP software. In July and August 2004 we acquired this 30% interest from Messrs. Hersh, Darden and Urbanowicz in exchange for an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our common stock, valued at $226,000, pursuant to the terms of ^Intellectual Property Assignment Agreements. While all rights to the intellectual property have now been assigned to our company by each of Messrs. Hersh, Darden and Urbanowicz, under the terms of these agreements at the request of the recipients we agreed to defer the issuance of the shares of our common stock until January 4, 2005. We will, however, record an expense of $226,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2005 for the shares of our common stock to be issued as consideration under this agreement as the number of shares to be issued are fixed and our expense is equal to the fair market value of those shares on the date we reached the agreement to acquire the rights. Messrs. Hersh and Darden are two of the three members of our board of directors. In our discussions with Messrs. Hersh, Darden and Urbanowicz leading up to the signing of the agreement, we analyzed our business in an attempt to reach a fair value of the intellectual property rights we wished to acquire. As a result of this analysis, we believe that the value of our business is based primarily on our unique intellectual property, including but not limited our trade marks, service marks and ASP software. Our board of directors determined that the value of our company, based upon our market capitalization as calculated using the average closing price of our common stock for the 30 trading days preceding the agreement to acquire the intellectual property rights, was $15 million. In determining the ultimate purchase price of the intellectual property rights, we established an arbitrary amount of $226,000, which represented approximately 1.5% of our market capitalization. We believe that this amount is fair to our stockholders and reasonable consideration to be paid to Messrs. Hersh, Darden and Urbanowicz for the rights we acquired. Before deciding to use a market capitalization valuation method, alternative valuation methods were considered by our board of directors, but upon analysis were deemed to be inappropriate. Our board of directors considered a valuation based on book value, but determined that book value was not meaningful since we have a negative book value. Our board of directors considered a valuation based on discounted cash flow, but deemed this basis to be unreliable since it requires numerous assumptions, including our projected cash flows, which are difficult to make with any degree of confidence at our current stage of development. Finally, our board of directors considered a valuation based on comparable company analysis, but determined it would not be possible since we are unaware of any comparable companies. ^ -39- In October 2004 we entered into a consulting agreement with Michael Garnick, an attorney and a principal shareholder of our company, to provide business advisory services to us for a period of one year. We issued Mr. Garnick 150,000 shares valued at $55,500 which will be recorded as consulting expense. PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS At September 30, 2004, there were 38,255,289 shares of our common stock and 87,000 shares of our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Our common stock and Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock are our only classes of our voting securities. The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2004, information known to us relating to the beneficial ownership of these shares by: - each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the class of stock; - each director; - each executive officer; and - all executive officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed is in care of 903 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33487. We believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Under securities laws, a person is considered to be the beneficial owner of securities he owns and that can be acquired by him within 60 days from September 30, 2004 upon the exercise of options, warrants, convertible securities or other understandings. We determine a beneficial owner's percentage ownership by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by him, but not those held by any other person and which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2004, have been exercised or converted.

The remaining 693,000 shares of our preferred stock remain without designation.

COMMON STOCK Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, subject to the preferences of any series of preferred stock, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of common stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions for the common stock. The rights of the holders of common stock are subject to any rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any preferred stock is authorized and issued. -41- PREFERRED STOCK Our board of directors, without further stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and fix or alter the designations, relative rights, priorities, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of each series. The rights, preferences, limitations and restrictions of different series of preferred stock may differ with respect to dividend rates, amounts payable on liquidation, voting rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions and other matters. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock which ranks senior to our common stock for the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets on liquidation. In addition, our board of directors can fix limitations and restrictions, if any, upon the payment of dividends on our common stock to be effective while any shares of preferred stock are outstanding. The rights granted to the holders of any series of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock and issuance of preferred stock may delay, defer or prevent a change in our control. SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK In June 2003, our board of directors created a series of 200,000 shares of our preferred stock and designated that series as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The designations, rights and preferences of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock include: * it has a stated value of $5.00 per share; * it pays a 10% per annum cumulative dividend, in arrears, commencing on June 30, 2004.

The designations, rights and preferences of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock include: * it has a stated value of $30.00 per share; * it does not pay any dividends; * the shares ranks (i) senior to our Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock and pari passu with our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock; (ii) pari passau with any other class or series of our capital stock hereafter created and not specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) prior to our common stock and to any other series of preferred stock or any class or series of capital stock of the corporation hereafter created not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with the Series C Preferred Stock, in each case as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Power2Ship; * the shares have no voting rights, other than as provided under the laws of the State of Nevada; * each share is convertible at the holder's option, subject to certain limits, at the conversion rate of $0.30 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or recapitalizations; * each share is convertible at our option at $0.30 per share in the event of a merger or acquisition in which we are not the surviving corporation, a change of control involving 50% or more of our voting shares, or after one year if the average closing price of our common stock for any 10 consecutive trading days exceeds $2.00 per share; and * the shares are not redeemable by us. SERIES Y CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK In March 2003 our board of directors created a series of 87,000 shares of our preferred stock and designated that series as Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock. The designations, rights and preferences of the Series Y Convertible Preferred Stock include: * it has a stated value of $0.01 per share; * it does not pay any dividends; * the shares ranks (i) junior to any other class or series of our capital stock hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Series Y Preferred Stock, (ii) prior to our common stock; and (iii) prior to any other series of preferred stock or any class or series of capital stock of the corporation hereafter created not specifically ranking by its terms senior to or on parity with the Series Y Preferred Stock, in each case as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Power2Ship; * in addition to any voting rights provided under the laws of the State of Nevada, the Series Y Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock on all actions to be voted on by our stockholders and each share of Series Y Preferred Stock shall entitles the record holder thereof to 200 votes on each such action; * each share is convertible into 2.66065 share of common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits or recapitalizations; and * the shares are not redeemable by us. -43- OPTIONS At September 30, 2004, we had outstanding options which have been granted outside our 2001 Employee Stock Compensation Plan entitling the holders thereof to purchase 14,531,994 shares of common stock at prices ranging from $.31 to $1.01 per share.

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS This prospectus relates to periodic offers and sales of up to 36,955,556 shares of common stock by the selling security holders listed below and their pledgees, donees and other successors in interest, which includes: * 9,909,508 shares of our common stock presently issued or issuable, * 4,939,214 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of $1,747,000 principal amount 14.25% secured convertible debentures based upon a conversion price of $[0.3537] at August 23, 2004, * 10,600,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of $2,000,000 principal amount of Series B 5% secured convertible debentures, * 4,126,758 shares of our common stock underlying outstanding options and warrants, * 853,333 shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding notes in the principal amount of $290,000 and. * [7,345,740] shares of our common stock underlying the $3 million SEDA Shares. -44- 14.25% SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES In March and April 2004, we issued $1,747,000 of our 14.25% secured convertible debentures to 35 accredited investors in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on exemptions provided by Section 4(20 and Rule 506 of Regulation D. The principal amount of the 14.25% secured convertible debentures is with a first priority lien on all of our tangible and intangible assets, subject to automatic subordination to most traditional asset-based loans. The interest on these debentures is secured with the proceeds of an account established for the benefit of the debenture holders with Newbridge Securities Corporation that has been funded with one six-month interest payment or approximately $125,000. The debentures mature on December 31, 2006, and pay interest of 14.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31. The debentures may be converted by the holders at any time into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $.80 per share or 90% of the average closing bid price of our common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date that a registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the debentures becomes effective. We have included the shares issuable upon the conversion of the 14.25% secured convertible debentures in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The 14.25% secured convertible debentures will automatically convert into shares of our common stock, providing that we are not in default with any provision of the debenture and the shares underlying the debentures have been registered, if the closing bid price of our common stock for the 20 trading days prior to conversion has been equal to at least 150% of the conversion price as described above. We may redeem the debentures, with 15 days notice at any time, by paying a premium of up to 20% of their original purchase price in a combination of cash and common stock. The shares issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the 14.25% secured convertible debentures are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and combinations, reclassifications and dividends. In addition, we issued 131,025 shares of our common stock valued at $55,031 to the debenture holders that we have accounted for as additional interest costs. These shares were issued pursuant to the registration rights agreement with the debenture holders as a late filing penalty for not filing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a party by July 31, 2004. SERIES B 5% SECURED CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES On June 28, 2004, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, LP for the issuance and sale of $2,000,000 in Series B 5% secured convertible debentures maturing on the second anniversary of their issue dates. In conjunction with the purchase agreement, we also entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement which is described below. We received $1,000,000, less $125,000 in transaction fees, in funding on June 29, 2004, and the remaining $1,000,000, less $100,000 in transaction fees, will be received, at our sole discretion, upon filing this registration statement. These funds are being used for general corporate and working capital purposes and to expand our advertising and marketing campaigns. -45- The debentures are convertible at the option of the holder at a conversion price equal to the lesser of: * $0.456 per share, representing 120% of the closing bid price of our common stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP on June 28, 2004 in the case of the first $1,000,000 of Series B 5% secured convertible debentures and 120% of the closing bid price of our common stock as quoted by Bloomberg, LP on the date of closing the second $1,000,000 of Series B 5% secured convertible debentures, or * 100% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices for our common stock, as quoted by Bloomberg, LP, for the 30 trading days immediately preceding any conversion date. We have the right to redeem, with three business days' advance written notice, all or a portion of the outstanding debentures at a redemption price of 120% of the amount redeemed, plus accrued interest. In connection with any redemption, we are also required to issue a warrant to purchase 35,000 of our common shares for each $100,000 of debentures redeemed. These warrants are exercisable at $0.456 per share on or prior to the second anniversary of the issue date of the debentures being redeemed. The debentures are secured by all of the assets and property of Power2Ship and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Freight Rate, Inc., although this lien is subordinate to the lien previously granted to the holders of our 14.25% secured convertible debentures and to the lien on accounts receivable and other assets related thereto being proposed for a revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the purchase agreement and related debentures and warrants, no conversion of the debentures or exercise of the warrants may occur if a conversion or exercise would result in Cornell and any of its affiliates beneficially owning common shares of Power2Ship which exceed 4.99% of our outstanding common shares following such conversion or exercise. STANDBY EQUITY DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT SUMMARY At the same time we entered into the securities purchase agreement with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., we also entered into the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement with them. Under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we may, at our discretion, periodically sell to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. shares of common stock for a total purchase price of up to $10.0 million. We have included $3.0 million SEDA Shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. If we wish to issue and sell up to the additional $7.0 million under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we will be required to file additional registration statements with the SEC and those registration statements must be declared effective. For each share of common stock purchased under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay 98% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock as published on the OTC Bulletin Board or other principal market on which our common stock is traded for the five days immediately following the notice date. The volume weighted average priced is calculated automatically by Bloomberg, LLC, a reporting service, by taking the sum of the value of all the sales of the registrant's common stock for a given day (the total shares sold in each trade times the sales price per share of the common stock for that trade) and then dividing this sum by the total number of shares sold on that day. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. is a private Delaware limited partnership whose business operations are conducted through its general partner, Yorkville Advisors, LLC. In connection with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we have issued to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. 691,128 shares of our common stock. We are also committed to pay to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. an amount equal to 5% of each purchase of our common stock made by it under the agreement. We also paid to Yorkville Advisors Management, LLC, the investment manager for Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., a structuring fee of $15,000, and we have paid to Newbridge Securities Corporation, as a placement agent fee in connection with the standby agreement, 25,132 shares of our common stock. The costs associated with this registration will be borne by us. There are no other significant closing conditions to draws under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. THE STANDBY EQUITY DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT EXPLAINED Under the terms of the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, we may periodically sell shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. to raise capital to fund our working capital needs. The periodic sale of shares is known as an advance. We may request an advance every seven trading days. A closing will be held one trading day after the end of each pricing period at which time we will deliver shares of common stock and Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. will pay the advance amount. There are no closing conditions for any of the draws other than the written notice and associated correspondence. We may request advances under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement once the underlying shares are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Thereafter, we may continue to request advances until Cornell Capital Partners has advanced $10.0 million or 24 months after the effective date of the accompanying registration statement, whichever occurs first. The amount of each advance is limited to a maximum draw down of $500,000 every seven trading days. The amount available under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement is not dependent on the price or volume of our common stock. Our ability to request advances is conditioned upon us registering the shares of common stock with the SEC. In addition, we may not request advances if the shares to be issued in connection with such advances would result in Cornell Capital Partners owning more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock. We do not have any agreements with Cornell Capital Partners regarding the distribution of such stock, although Cornell Capital Partners has indicated that intends to promptly sell any stock received under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. There are certain conditions to our right to request an advance. These conditions include: * maintaining our authorization for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, * having an effective registration statement related to the stock to be issued, * the absence of a stop order or other action adversely affecting the registration statement, * no events shall have occurred that would require Power2Ship to file a post-effective amendment to the effective registration statement, and * the advance will not cause Cornell Capital Partners to beneficially own more than 9.9% of our outstanding common stock. -46- Cornell Capital Partners is permitted to terminate the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement if: * there is a stop order or suspension of the effectiveness of this registration statement for 50 trading days, or * we fail to materially comply with certain covenants, which include the following: * maintaining a quotation of our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, * maintaining ours status as public company under Section 12(g) of the Securities Act of 1934, * delivering instructions to the transfer agent to issue shares in connection with an advance notice, * failing to notify Cornell Capital Partners of events impacting the registration of the stock to be issued, including the issuance of a stop order, * issuing stock or convertible securities at a price less than the market price of our common stock on the date of issuance, or * merging or consolidating Power2Ship with another company where the acquiring entity does not assume our obligations under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. We cannot predict the actual number of shares of common stock that will be issued pursuant to the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, in part, because the purchase price of the shares will fluctuate based on prevailing market conditions and we have not determined the total amount of advances we intend to draw. As set forth above, we have only included $3.0 million SEDA Shares in this offering. Nonetheless, we can estimate the number of shares of our common stock that will be issued using certain assumptions. Assuming we issued the number of shares of common stock being registered in the accompanying registration statement at a price of $[0.4084] per share, we would issue [7,345,740]shares of common stock to Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. for gross proceeds of $3.0 million. These shares would represent approximately [11] % of our outstanding common stock upon issuance. Proceeds used under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement will be used in the manner set forth in the "Use of Proceeds" section of this prospectus. We cannot predict the total amount of proceeds to be raised in this transaction because we have not determined the total amount of the advances we intend to draw. We have the right to terminate the standby agreement upon three days' prior written notice provided there is no outstanding balance owed to Cornell Capital under the purchase agreement and related debentures, and there are no pending advance notices submitted by us to Cornell Capital. The following table sets forth * the name of each selling security holder, * the number of shares owned, and * the number of shares being registered for resale by each selling security holder. We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time to update the disclosure set forth in this prospectus. All of the shares owned by the selling security holders may be offered hereby. Because the selling security holders may sell some or all of the shares owned by them, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be held by the selling security holders upon termination of any offering made hereby. If all the shares offered hereby are sold, the selling security holders will not own any shares after the offering.

We will not pay selling commissions and expenses associated with any sale by the selling security holders. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The shares offered hereby by the selling security holders may be sold from time to time by the selling security holders, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. These sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions. The shares may be sold by one or more of the following methods, including, without limitation: * ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser; * block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; * purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; * an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; * privately-negotiated transactions; * broker-dealers may agree with the selling security holders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; * through the writing of options on the shares; * a combination of any such methods of sale; and * any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The selling security holders shall have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time. The selling stockholders or their respective pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest, may also sell the shares directly to market makers acting as principals and/or broker-dealers acting as agents for themselves or their customers. Such broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agents or to whom they sell as principal or both, which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions. Market makers and block purchasers purchasing the shares will do so for their own account and at their own risk. It is possible that a selling security holders will attempt to sell shares of common stock in block transactions to market makers or other purchasers at a price per share which may be below the then market price. The selling security holders cannot assure that all or any of the shares offered in this prospectus will be issued to, or sold by, the selling security holders. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. and any brokers, dealers or agents, upon effecting the sale of any of the shares offered in this prospectus, are deemed "underwriters" as that term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules and regulations under such acts. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. -61- The selling security holders, alternatively, may sell all or any part of the shares offered in this prospectus through an underwriter. To our knowledge no selling security holder has entered into any agreement with a prospective underwriter, and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be entered into. If a selling security holder notifies us that they have a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the resale of the common stock, then we would be required to amend the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and file a prospectus supplement to describe the agreements between the selling security holder and the broker-dealer. The selling security holders should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling security holders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Registration M, the selling security holders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling security holders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. The selling security holders are not permitted to cover short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place. The selling security holders are advised that if a particular offer of common stock is to be made on terms constituting a material change from the information set forth above with respect to the Plan of Distribution, then, to the extent required, a post-effective amendment to the accompanying registration statement must be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Statutory Underwriter Cornell Capital Partners is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the sale of common stock under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. For so long as Cornell Capital is an "underwriter," Cornell Capital may not sell shares by relying on Rule 144. Cornell Capital Partners will pay us 98% of the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the five days immediately following the advance date. In addition, Cornell Capital Partners will retain 5% of the gross proceeds under the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, and received a one-time commitment fee of 691,128 shares of our common stock. We also paid Yorkville Advisors Management, Inc., the investment manager for Cornell Capital Partners, a structuring fee of $15,000 in connection with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. The 2% discount, the 5% retention, the one-time commitment fee and the structuring fee are underwriting discounts. In addition, we engaged Newbridge Securities Corporation, a registered broker-dealer, to advise us in connection with the Standby Equity Distribution Agreement. For its services, Newbridge Securities Corporation received 25,132 shares of our common stock. Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. was formed in February 2000 as a Delaware limited partnership. Cornell Capital Partners is a domestic hedge fund in the business of investing in and financing public companies. Cornell Capital Partners does not intend to make a market in our stock or to otherwise engage in stabilizing or other transactions intended to help support the stock price. Prospective investors should take these factors into consideration before purchasing our common stock. -62- Special Considerations Related to Penny Stock Rules Shares of our common stock may be subject to rules adopted by the SEC that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in those securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document which contains the following: * a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; * a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to violation to these duties or other requirements of securities laws; * a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the "bid" and "ask" price; * a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; * definitions of significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and * other information as the SEC may require by rule or regulation. Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer also must provide the customer the following: * the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; * the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; * the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and * monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. Holders of shares of our common stock may have difficulty selling those shares because our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules. SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE At September 30, 2004, we had 38,255,289 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, of which 25,313,280 are restricted securities. In general, Rule 144 permits a shareholder who has owned restricted shares for at least one year, to sell without registration, within a three-month period, up to one percent of our then outstanding common stock. In addition, shareholders other than our officers, directors or 5% or greater shareholders who have owned their shares for at least two years may sell them without volume limitation or the need for our reports to be current. -63- We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of common stock or the availability of these shares for sale will have on the market price of the shares from time to time. Nevertheless, the possibility that substantial amounts of common stock may be sold in the public market could adversely affect market prices for the common stock and could damage our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

File, during any period in which offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: i. Include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; ii. Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement; and notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and iii. Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. II-6 2. For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. 3. File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or preceding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-7 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form SB-2 and authorized this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Boca Raton, Florida on October 19, 2004. POWER2SHIP, INC.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Power2Ship, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 2004 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003, and the one month ended June 30, 2003. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted 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 audits 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 consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Power2Ship, Inc. and Subsidiary, as of June 30, 2004 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003, and for the one month ended June 30, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had net losses and cash used in operations of $4,134,885 and $2,598,189, respectively, for the year ended June 30, 2004. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ Sherb & Co., LLP New York, New York Certified Public Accountants August 12, 2004 F-2

See accompanying notes F-8 POWER2SHIP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ORGANIZATION ------------ Power2Ship, Inc. (the "Company"), formerly Jaguar Investments, Inc., was incorporated in Nevada on October 28, 1987. On March 11, 2003, the Company merged with Freight Rate, Inc. which became a wholly owned subsidiary and is currently its sole operating entity. The Company's patent pending system delivers supply chain, tracking and other logistics information to freight carriers (currently trucking companies), shippers (companies sending or receiving freight) and their customers. This information, which instantly becomes accessible through the Company's password-protected, web-based MobileMarket(TM), enables users to make better-informed, cost-effective logistics decisions. The Company is licensed by the United States Department of Transportation as a broker, arranging for transportation of freight (except household goods) by motor vehicle. Since October 2002, the Company's primary source of revenue has been derived from providing freight transportation services to its shipper customers. The Company transports inbound and outbound freight using independent trucking companies and tracks the freight while in transit through the Company's web-based MobileMarket(TM). The Company believes that the accurate and timely information available in the MobileMarket(TM) enables its shipper customers to optimize their supply chain and reduce their transportation, warehousing and inventory carrying costs. Also, the Company provides freight carriers with free, unlimited use of a web-based asset management system to track the location, destination and availability of their transportation equipment and help them better manage the utilization of their assets and drivers. By using the asset management system, the Company's MobileMarket(TM) is capable of automatically displaying to shippers any available transportation equipment that meets their requirements and enables them to book a particular transportation asset through the MobileMarket(TM). The Company generates revenue each time a shipper selects a carrier to move its freight either through the MobileMarket(TM) or with the assistance of a Company employee. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND OTHER MATTERS BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- For accounting purposes, the merger with Freight Rate, Inc. was treated as a recapitalization of Freight Rate, Inc. and accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Therefore, the financial statements reported herein and accompanying notes thereto reflect the assets, liabilities and operations of Freight Rate, Inc. as if it had been the reporting entity since inception. On February 27, 2004, as reported in Form 8-K, the Company's board of directors authorized a change in the Company's fiscal year from May 31 to June 30 in order to align the Company's quarterly reporting obligations with calendar quarters, resulting in a more traditional reporting pattern and thereby reducing potential confusion in the marketplace. As a result, this Form 10-KSB includes consolidated financial statements for the years-ended June 30, 2004, May 31, 2003 and the transition period associated with the changed fiscal year which is the one month period ended June 30, 2003. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. RECLASSIFICATIONS ----------------- Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported results of operations or stockholders' deficit. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS ------------------------- The Company considers all unrestricted deposits and highly liquid investments, readily convertible to known amounts, with an original maturity of three months or less, to be cash equivalents. F-9 FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT ----------------------- Furniture and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs of the assets are charged to expense as incurred. INCOME TAXES ------------ Under the asset and liability method of FASB Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities, and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when in the Company's opinion it is likely that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. REVENUE RECOGNITION ------------------- The Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 for revenue recognition. In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The following policies reflect specific criteria for the reported revenue streams of the Company: Freight transportation revenue consists of the total dollar value of services purchased from us by our customers. The Company recognizes freight transportation revenue when shipments of goods reach their destinations and the receiver of the goods acknowledges their receipt by signing a bill of lading. At that time, our obligations to the customer are completed and collection of receivables is reasonably assured. Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent, establishes the criteria for recognizing revenues on a gross or net basis. In these transactions, we are the primary obligor, we are a principal to the transaction not an agent, we have the risk of loss for collection, we have discretion to select the supplier and we have latitude in pricing decisions. Access services revenue is recognized in the month that access to the P2S MobileMarket(TM) is provided to customers. Implementation services revenue, generated pursuant to software development contracts with customers, is recognized on the percentage of completion basis for each deliverable provided for in the contract. Revenue from implementation services is expected to be insignificant as a percentage of total revenue in the foreseeable future. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ----------------------------------- The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair market value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments. USE OF 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. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS ------------------------------- The Company evaluates the recoverability and carrying value of its long-lived assets at each balance sheet date, based on guidance issued in SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Among other factors considered in such evaluation is the historical and projected operating performance of business operations, the operating environment and business strategy, competitive information and market trends. At June 30, 2004, the Company had no assets which were considered to be impaired. F-10 STOCK BASED COMPENSATION ------------------------ The Company uses SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provision of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock option grants as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 has been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ------------------------ Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE AND WEB-SITE DEVELOPMENT COSTS ---------------------------------------------------- Internal use software and web-site development costs are expensed as incurred. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK ----------------------------- Financial assets that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company's investment policy is to invest in low risk, highly liquid investments. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk in its cash investments. The Company maintains its cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $100,000 per institution. At June 30, 2004, the Company's cash balances exceeded the insured limits by approximately $700,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash on deposit. The Company performs on-going credit evaluations of its customer base including those that represent its accounts receivable at June 30, 2004. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses and such losses historically have been within management's expectations. LOSS PER COMMON SHARE --------------------- Basic loss per common share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share include the effects of potential dilution that would occur if securities (such as warrants) or other contracts (such as options) to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Such instruments that are convertible into common stock are excluded from the computation in periods in which they have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares included in the computation are not presented in the consolidated financial statements, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The Company had options, warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible debt or preferred stock totaling 74,239,167 as of May 31, 2003, 74,614,282 as of June 30, 2003 and 36,859,100 as of June 30, 2004, that were not included in computing its diluted loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive since the Company had net losses for the periods presented in its financial statements. ADVERTISING ----------- Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003 totaled approximately $36,000 and $10,000 respectively. There was no advertising expense for the month of June, 2003. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -------------------------------- In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 requires that if an entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities and results of activities of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the entity. FIN 46 requires that its provisions are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. The Company does not have any variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. For those arrangements entered into prior to January 31, 2003, the FIN 46 provisions are required to be adopted at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not identified any variable interest entities to date and will continue to evaluate whether it has variable interest entities that will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheet and results of operations. F-11 In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, with certain exceptions. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003, the Company incurred losses from operations of $3,730,055 and $1,208,274, respectively and had negative cash flows from operations of $2,598,189 and $826,368, respectively. While the Company is attempting to increase sales, the growth has not been significant enough to support the Company's daily operations. Management intends to continue raising additional funds with private placements of its debt and equity securities to accredited investors. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to improve sales volume and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. NOTE 4 - CONCENTRATIONS During the twelve months ended June 30, 2004, six customers accounted for 95% of the Company's revenue. Their individual percentages ranged from 2% to 64% with one customer representing approximately 64% and one other customer representing 15%. Four of the same customers accounted for 79% of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30, 2004. NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS In November, 2002, the Chief Executive Officer received $20,000 from the Company in the form of a short-term demand note bearing interest at the rate of 6% per annum. As of May 31, 2003 the balance of the note and accrued interest was $20,985. This transaction occurred prior to the reverse merger when Freight Rate was a private company. In September, 2003, the note was paid in full. In November, 2004, an employee received $6,000 from the Company in the form of a short-term demand note bearing interest at the rate of 18% per annum. As of June 30, 2004 the balance of the note and accrued interest was $4,250. NOTE 6 - FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT At June 30, 2004, furniture and equipment consisted of the following:
Estimated Useful lives Computer Hardware & Software $166,024 5 years Equipment 54,396 5 years Furniture & Fixtures 24,651 7 years Leasehold Improvements 3,028 4 years --------- 248,099 Less: accumulated depreciation (72,800) --------- $175,299 =========
F-12 Depreciation expense was $37,656 and $7,659 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003, respectively. NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE AND CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE In June, 2004, the Company issued $1,000,000 of its Series B Convertible Debentures to one accredited investor and paid commissions and expenses of $135,500 that were accounted for as deferred financing costs to be amortized over the terms of the Debentures. In addition, the company issued 816,260 common shares valued at $348,179 to the lender and placement agent that were also accounted for as deferred financing costs to be amortized over the terms of the Debentures. The Debentures mature on June 28, 2006, and earn interest of 5.00% per annum. The Debentures may be converted by the holder at any time into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of an amount equal to 120% of the closing bid price of the common stock as of the closing date or 100% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock for the thirty trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Company may redeem the Debentures, with three days notice at any time, by paying a premium of up to 20% of their original purchase price in a combination of cash and common stock. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2004, there was no accrued interest on the Debentures and no amortization of deferred financing costs. The Company has provided the Debenture holders with a security interest in its tangible and intangible assets, subject to automatic subordination to most traditional asset-based loans, to secure the prompt payment of principal In March and April, 2004, the Company issued $1,747,000 of its Series A Convertible Debentures to 35 accredited investors and paid commissions and expenses of $227,110 that were accounted for as deferred financing costs to be amortized over the terms of the Debentures. In addition, the company issued 873,500 warrants valued at $108,160 (see Note 11) and 131,025 common shares valued at $55,031 to the lenders that were accounted for as additional interest costs. The Debentures mature on December 31, 2006, and earn interest of 14.25% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 31. The Debentures may be converted by the holders at any time into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $.80 per share or 90% of the average closing bid price of the common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the date that a registration statement registering the shares of common stock underlying the Debentures becomes effective. The Company may redeem the Debentures, with fifteen days notice at any time, by paying a premium of up to 20% of their original purchase price in a combination of cash and common stock. For the twelve months ended June 30, 2004, the accrued interest on the Debentures was $66,867 (paid July 1, 2004) and amortization of deferred financing costs was $39,642. The Company has provided the Debenture holders with a security interest in its tangible and intangible assets, subject to automatic subordination to most traditional asset-based loans, to secure the prompt payment of principal. In addition, the Company is required to set aside the equivalent of six months interest on the debentures in a separate account in the event of a default. At June 30, 2004, the Company had restricted cash of $124,474 for this purpose. In December 2003 and January 2004, the Company issued a total of $340,000 of 18% short-term promissory notes to six individuals, paid commissions associated with the placement of such notes of $34,000 and issued the lenders a total of 185,458 shares of the Company's restricted common stock valued at $81,383. Interest expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004 on the notes was $14,790. The total of commissions, value of the common stock and interest of $130,173 was recorded as interest expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 2004. In March, 2004, the Company repaid $190,000 of these notes and converted $150,000 into Series A Convertible Debentures discussed above. On July 15, 2003, the Company issued a promissory note in the amount of $170,000 for licenses to use certain logistics software. The note replaced a prior note for the licenses which was the subject of a lawsuit and other disputed claims by various parties. The lawsuit was initiated by the software vendor to enforce payment of the prior promissory note in the amount of $143,000 which had expired in May 2002. This prior note had been issued to the software vendor in September 2001 to reflect the balance we owed on software licenses purchased in March 2000. We did not made the required payments on the prior note and asserted counterclaims against the software vendor in the lawsuit for breach of contract, fraudulent inducement and declaratory relief. The new note was the result of a settlement agreement for all claims by all parties. The note bears no interest and required the Company to pay $30,000 upon issuing the note followed by 22 consecutive payments of $5,000 on the first of each month beginning on August 1, 2003 for a total of $140,000. The new note payable was recorded at the face value of $170,000 and the old note of $140,000 and accrued interest of $15,111 was written off. Prepaid interest in the amount of $11,889 was recorded. If all the aforementioned payments are made on or before their applicable due dates, or within their permitted grace periods, the $30,000 balance remaining of the note will be waived. The Company expects to receive the waiver in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2005 and will write off the note balance of $30,000 against the prepaid interest, leaving a gain of $18,101 that will be recorded at that time. At June 30, 2004, the outstanding balance on the note was $80,000 of which $20,000 was accounted for as long term notes payable and $60,000 as notes payable - short term. F-13 In March 2003, the Company issued a $125,000 convertible promissory note to a private investor that also was a non-affiliated Company shareholder. In June 2003, the Company and the shareholder cancelled the old note and issued a new promissory note for $225,000 as the Company received an additional $100,000. The new note had an interest rate of 5% per annum, had a maturity date of December 5, 2003 and had a conversion price of $.40 per share. Subsequent to its issuance, the conversion provision in the new note was amended to change the conversion price to $.79 per share which equaled the closing market price of our common stock on the issue date of the note. We also granted the note holder, in connection with the loan, warrants to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.79 per share which expired on June 5, 2004. These warrants were valued at $16,650 and recorded as interest expense. In July 2003, the Company made a $100,000 principal payment on the $225,000 note and, in September 2003, repaid the $125,000 outstanding balance of the note, plus accrued interest of $4,000, with 25,800 shares of its Series B preferred stock convertible at $0.25 per share. This conversion provision represents a beneficial conversion feature, the value of which is calculated by subtracting the conversion price of $0.25 from the market price of the common stock on the date the preferred shares were issued. In this case, since the beneficial conversion feature is valued at more than the conversion price, the total value of the shares or $129,000 has been recognized as preferred dividends during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2003. On March 10, 2003, the Company issued an 8% convertible promissory note due June 30, 2006 in the amount of $135,000 to its Chief Executive Officer in exchange for his forgiveness of $147,520 of accrued salary. The outstanding principal balance of the note may be converted at any time into common stock at a conversion price equal to the lesser of $1.51 per share or 50% of the average closing bid prices of the Company's common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion but no less than $0.75 per share. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2004, $20,000 was repaid leaving a balance of $115,000. On March 6, 2003, the Company issued a convertible promissory note in the amount of $175,000 to an unaffiliated Company shareholder. The interest rate of the note is 8% per annum and it had a maturity date of June 30, 2006. The holder of the note has the right to convert the outstanding principal balance of the note into the Company's common stock at any time prior to its maturity date at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 1) $1.51 per share or 2) 50% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of conversion but no less than $0.25 per share. As of June 30, 2004, the Company has accrued interest in the amount of $18,441 and the principal balance of the note is $175,000. Since the conversion price per share is contingent upon the occurrence of a future event, no beneficial conversion feature is recognized in earnings until the contingency is resolved. NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES OPERATING LEASE --------------- The Company leases office space under an operating lease commencing May 15, 2003. The lease terminates on May 31, 2007. At June 30, 2004, minimum rental commitments are as follows: 2005 $ 119,475 2006 125,213 2007 52,813 ------------- $ 297,501 ============= Also required was an additional security deposit of $9,312 by June 1, 2004. This amount was secured by 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $39,500 which were deposited with the landlord in June, 2003 and returned in May, 2004 when the payment of the additional deposit was made. F-14 For the years ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003, rent expense was $121,586 and $26,712, respectively. For the month of June, 2003, rent expense was $8,845. In addition, the Company leases a phone system and a copier with total rental commitments of $24,412 through March 31, 2007. At June 30, 2004, minimum rental commitments are as follows: 2005 $ 10,780 2006 10,780 2007 2,852 ------------- $ 24,412 ============= Total amounts expensed for the years ended June 30, 2004 and May 31, 2003, was $9,576 and $1,797, respectively. For the month of June, 2003, the amount expensed was $150. LICENSE AGREEMENT ----------------- The Company has entered into an agreement with a vendor for GPS devices which requires the company to pay the vendor a monthly royalty fee on each device once it is put into service with a customer. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the company paid $5,325 in connection with this agreement. CONTINGENCIES ------------- In January 2004, we were named as one of a number of defendants in a civil action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York titled Dale Sobek and Seema Bhagat vs. Joseph Quattrochi, Cardinal Capital Management, Inc., R&M Capital Partners, Inc., Power2Ship, Inc. and Madison Stock Transfer, Inc, case number 03CV10219. The lawsuit was filed by a stockholder of our company who purportedly acquired shares of our common stock from another of our stockholders in May 2002 and received additional shares as collateral from the selling stockholder. Following the transaction, the selling stockholder induced our transfer agent to issue it replacement shares for the shares of our common stock allegedly provided to the plaintiff as collateral. The plaintiff's are alleging breach of contract and racketeering and are seeking punitive damages from all defendants of $5,000,000 and $750,000 for conversion by certain of the defendants, including our company. We believe that the claim is without merit as it pertains to our company and we have filed a motion to dismiss all claims with prejudice. The motion is pending judicial determination. In April 2004, we obtained an order for provisional relief from the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Kings, against Flow Capital Advisors et al in the matter of Power2Ship, Inc. vs. Flow Capital Advisors, Inc., Douglas F. Gass and Madison Stock Transfer, Inc. restraining Flow Capital from transferring or in any manner encumbering any securities of Power2Ship held by it. Flow Capital received 779,155 shares of our common stock and an option to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock, in addition to other compensation, pursuant to two consulting agreements between Flow Capital and Power2Ship. In our compliant we alleged that the first consulting agreement represented a wrongful usurping of corporate opportunity by the principal shareholder of Flow Capital and that both consulting agreements were fraudulently obtained through material omissions and misrepresentations made prior to, and after, entering into the consulting agreements. In May 2004, we initiated an arbitration proceeding under the rules of the American Arbitration Association in Florida to resolve this dispute and discontinued our legal action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. In July 2004, Mr. Gass and Flow Capital Advisors entered a motion in the Broward County, Florida 17th Judicial Circuit Court to stay the arbitration. We submitted our answer to the complaint and counterclaims to the court on August 12, 2004. The court granted the motion to stay the arbitration and the matter remains pending.

Such amounts would be subject to the limitations contained under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code relating to changes in ownership. However, given that the realization of this tax effect is uncertain, a full valuation allowance was recorded. Reconciliation of the differences between income taxes computed at the federal statutory tax rates and the provision for income taxes is as follows:

NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY ------------------------------ SERIES B CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK ------------------------------------ During June, 2003, the Company sold 9,000 shares of its Series B convertible preferred stock for $45,000. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2004, the Company sold 163,200 shares of its Series B convertible preferred stock for $816,000 and issued 25,800 shares as repayment of a promissory note and accrued interest thereon (see Note 7).

OPTIONS AND WARRANTS -------------------- The Company's board of directors has the authority to determine when and to whom it grant options and warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the board determines the number of options and warrants to be granted and all other terms and conditions related to these securities such as the recipients' vesting schedules, expiration dates, exercise prices and restrictions. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options and warrants is measured as the excess, if any, of the estimated fair value 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 following table presents pro forma net loss and per share amounts as if the fair value method had been applied to employee stock options and warrants granted:
Twelve Months One Month Twelve Months Ended Ended Ended June 30,2004 June 30, 2003 May 31,2003 ------------ ------------- ----------- Loss available to common shareholders: As reported $(5,481,929) $(212,416) $(2,235,872) ============ ============= =========== Pro forma $(5,725,481) $(212,416) $(2,385,881) ============ ============= =========== Loss per share, basic and diluted: As reported $ (0.17) $ (0.01) $ (0.15) ============ ============= =========== Pro forma $(0.17) $ (0.01) $ (0.16) ============ ============= ===========
F-19 For purposes of the pro forma calculations, the fair value of each option was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used: 2004 2003 ---- ----- Dividend yield None None Expected volatility factor 57 - 88% 0 - 64% Approximate risk free interest rates 3% 3% Expected lives, in years 1-30 1-5 The determination of fair values for all stock options and warrants is based on the assumptions described in the preceding paragraph, and because additional option grants are expected to be made each year, the above pro forma disclosures are not representative of pro forma effects on reported net income or loss for future years. STOCK OPTIONS ------------- During fiscal year 2003, the Company granted options to purchase 2,049,375 shares of common stock to consultants, suppliers and investors of the Company. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.38 per share to $0.75 per share, which was the fair market value of the common stock at the grant date. Consulting expense in the amount of $31,785 was recorded for the year ended May 31, 2003 relating to these options. In March 2003, the Company issued its former Chairman 83,733 options in consideration for his forgiveness of $83,733 relating to accrued salary and services performed under a consulting agreement resulting in a gain of $79,304. In November 2003, in connection with a twelve-month Business Advisory Agreement, the Company granted a securities advisor an option to purchase 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $.01 per share. These options were exercised in June, 2004. Using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, $270,000 was expensed as consulting fees. In December 2003 and April 2004, the Company granted options to purchase 71,500 and 250,000 shares of common stock to certain employees and directors of the Company. The options expire in three to five years from the grant date. The options are exercisable at prices ranging from $.31 to $.52 per share which were equal to or above the fair values of the common stock at the respective grant dates. Accordingly, under APB 25, no compensation was recognized. In April 2004, the Company granted options to purchase 320,334 shares of common stock to consultants and charged $85,683 to consulting fees for the fair value of the instruments granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company also cancelled 100,000 options for one of the consultants.
