The Internal Revenue Service requires employers to provide an annual financial summary of the employee benefit plans to employees. The purpose of the summary is to provide information regarding the financial status of each plan and to comply with your rights to the information required by law.

The attached Summary Annual Reports from ABX Air, Inc. summarizes the data provided to the IRS for each benefit plan for the plan year 2003. Some of the plans included may not apply to you because eligibility for benefits is determined by employment status.

During 2003, employees were covered by plans from ABX Air, Inc. and Airborne Express. The attached reports cover the period you were covered under the ABX Air plans in 2003. The IRS has granted Airborne/DHL an extension to complete their Summary Annual Reports due to the hurricanes affecting Florida this year. We anticipate receiving the Airborne/DHL Summary Annual Reports sometime in early 2005, they will be distributed once received.
