Note 3 - Segment Reporting

The Company operates in two business segments, non-asset based transportation services and agent support services. The non-asset based transportation services segment includes the Company’s brokerage and contract carrier services which are provided through a network of independent sales agents throughout the United States and Canada. Revenue in this segment is generated from freight transportation transactions.  The agent support services segment includes an array of services that the Company provides to its agent network to support and encourage the expansion of agents’ businesses, primarily financial support through interest bearing long-term loans and non-interest bearing short-term loans, as well as other services including training, margin analysis, marketing assistance, industry and market segment data, and business analysis tools.  Revenue in this segment consists primarily of interest on interest bearing loans. This segment also includes potential revenues related to profit participations and realization on options to acquire equity that the Company may receive related to a loan or advance extended to an agent.

Results of operations by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 as well as total assets as of June 30, 2011 and 2010, are summarized below:
