REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Administrative Committee
Stonepath Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan
Seattle, Washington
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Stonepath Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“the Plan”) as of December 31, 2005, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Stonepath Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan as of December 31, 2005, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplementary information included in Schedule H, line 4i — Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplementary information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplementary information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

STONEPATH GROUP, INC. 401(k) PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1)   Description of plan
 
    The following description of the Stonepath Group, Inc. (the “Company”) 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. The effective date of the Plan is January 1, 2003. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
    General — The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all full-time employees of the Company who have six months of service and are age twenty-one or older. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
 
    Contributions — Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans (“rollovers”). Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Company contributes 50% of the first 8% of base compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan. The matching Company contribution is participant-directed. Contributions are subject to certain limitations as set forth by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
    Participant accounts — Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution, (b) Plan earnings, and (c) administrative expenses. Allocations of Plan earnings are based on participant account balances. Allocations of expenses are based on participant account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
 
    Vesting — Participant’s contributions plus actual earnings are 100% vested immediately. Employer contributions made after January 1, 2003 are generally subject to the following vesting schedule:
         
Years of Service   Vested %
Less than 1
    20 %
1
    40 %
2
    60 %
3
    80 %
4
    100 %
    A participant’s account becomes 100% vested if the participant reaches age 65, dies, or becomes disabled while in the service of the Company.

(1)   Description of plan (continued)
 
    Participant loans — Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at rates ranging from 2.0% to 10.5%, which are commensurate with local prevailing rates at the inception of the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.
 
    Payment of benefits — On termination of service, a participant will receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested interest in his or her account.
 
    Forfeited accounts — At December 31, 2005 and 2004, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $4,935 and $12,282, respectively. These accounts will be used to pay administrative expenses and reduce Company matching contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2005, forfeitures were used to pay $6,665 of administrative expenses and reduce employer contributions by $28,000.
 
    Investment options — Upon enrollment in the Plan, participants may direct employee and Company contributions in the following investment options:
    UBS Fiduciary Trust Company Common Collective Trust — The participants may invest in various investment options under a common collective trust. A description of each investment option can be found in the Plan document.
 
    Stonepath Group, Inc. Common Stock
(2)   Summary of significant accounting policies
 
    Basis of accounting — The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
 
    Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires the plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
    Investment valuation and income recognition — The value of each investment option within the common collective trust is determined at the close of each business day based on fair value as determined by the respective fund managers. The fair values are generally determined based on quoted market prices of the funds’ investment holdings. The value of the Company’s common stock is based on the quoted market price.
 
    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
    Payment of benefits — Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
    Administrative expenses — Administrative expenses relate to Plan administration, custodianship of investments, and the annual Plan audit. Additionally, certain expenses of the Plan are paid by the Company and are not included in the Plan’s financial statements.

    Recent Accounting Pronouncements — On December 29, 2005, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Staff Position Nos. AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (“FSP”). The FSP clarifies the definition of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts for contracts held by defined contribution plans. The FSP also establishes enhanced financial statement presentation and disclosure requirements for defined contribution plans subject to the FSP and is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 2006. Management is currently evaluating the effect of the pronouncement on the financial statements.

(4)   Plan termination
 
    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination, participants would become 100% vested in their employer contributions.
 
(5)   Transactions with parties-in-interest
 
    As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Plan held 408,213 and 414,519 shares, respectively, of Stonepath Group, Inc. common stock (employer securities) with a fair value of $296,523 and $502,764, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Plan purchased 119,862 shares of Stonepath Group, Inc. common stock at a cost of $109,728, and sold 126,168 shares of Stonepath Group, Inc. common stock for $114,954.
 
    Certain Plan investments are units of common collective trusts managed by UBS Fiduciary Trust Company, the Plan’s Trustee. Transactions with UBS Fiduciary Trust Company qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These investments amounted to $8,497,105 and $8,322,736 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Fees incurred by the Plan for asset management services amounted to $95,139 for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
(6)   Tax status
 
    The Plan has adopted a prototype standardized 401(k) profit-sharing plan and trust sponsored by UBS Fiduciary Trust Company. The prototype plan has obtained a determination letter dated April 11, 2002, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. UBS Fiduciary Trust Company believes the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.
