Chapter 11 OverviewFiling and Emergence
On July 31, 2005 (“the Petition(the “Petition Date”), Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its subsidiaries (the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”). Our captive insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, as well as our subsidiaries in Mexico and Bermuda (the “Non-debtors”) were not included in the Chapter 11 filings. Our Canadian subsidiaries obtained approval for creditor protection under the Companies Creditors’ Arrangement Act in Canada and are included among the subsidiaries that filed voluntary petitions seeking bankruptcy protection. Like Chapter 11, the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada allows for reorganization under the protection of the court system.
On May 18, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors’ Modified Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated April 6, 2007 (the “Joint Plan”). On May 29, 2007, the effective date of the Joint Plan (the “Effective Date”), the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
As of the Effective Date and pursuant to the Joint Plan, all equity interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. were cancelled, and a certificate of merger was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State effectingto effect the merger of Allied Holdings, Inc. into its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Systems Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. as the surviving corporation. Also as of the Effective Date, the authorized capital stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. became one hundred100 million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and ten10 million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
We continue to operate in substantially our previous form, and the outstanding claims against and interests in the Debtors are being resolved pursuant to the Joint Plan. As of the Effective Date, our debtor-in-possession credit facilities were converted to senior secured credit facilities that serve as our exit financing facilities (“Secured Credit Facilities”).financing. The implementation of the Joint Plan includes, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions:
 i) Payment in cash, reinstatement, return of collateral or other treatment of other secured claims, as agreed to with the holder of each such claim;
 
 ii) Distribution of new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis to the holders of allowed general unsecured claims;
 
 iii) Cancellation of the existing common stock interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. (holders of equity interests receivereceived nothing under the Joint Plan); and
 
 iv) Assumption of selected contracts.

Claims Resolution and Share Distribution
Pursuant to the Joint Plan, 10 million shares of new common stock will be issued for distribution by our disbursing agent. All such shares are being issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state laws, as allowed by Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Prior to the Effective Date, pre-petition claims were included in liabilities subject to compromise and, for the most part, were included in schedules that we filed with the Bankruptcy Court and proofs of claim filed by our creditors. Claims that were not objected to are considered to be allowed claims. Claims that were objected to are subject to a claims reconciliation process. Many of these claims were disallowed, reduced or reclassified by the Bankruptcy Court including claims that were duplicated, overstated, amended or without merit and many were resolved prior to the Effective Date. The claims reconciliation process will continue until all claims are resolved.
Unsecured claimants– General unsecured creditors are entitled to distribution of new common stock pursuant to the Joint Plan. The number of shares to be received by these claimants is dependent on the New DIP Facility andamount of the Secured Credit Facilities.

Since the claims reconciliation process is incomplete, we have not yet finalized these amounts, but have included an estimate of these amounts as of the Effective Date based on the information available to us. If the actual amounts of these claims differ from our estimates, we will record additional expense in the Successor’s financial statements and are based onthese additional expenses could be material.

They do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed in this report, management believes that there have been no material changes in the information that we disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. As a result of our Chapter 11 filings,Proceedings, we have applied the guidance in the American Instituteassumed a number of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 90-7 (“SOP 90-7”),Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.

Disputes relating to certain cure amounts are pending before the Bankruptcy Court. Obligations relating to the assumed leases and contracts for the period subsequent to the Effective Date will be settled in the normal course of business. Any lease or contract not specifically assumed is deemed to be rejected under the Joint Plan as of the Effective Date and any related pre-petition amounts and any damages caused by the deemed rejection are treated as general unsecured claims.
We have emerged from Chapter 11 with a redesigned capital structure, lower debt, improved customer contracts and improved contract terms with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “Teamsters” or “IBT”) regarding our employees in the U.S. represented by the Teamsters. We believe that the factors that precipitated our need to file for protection under Chapter 11 have been adequately addressed and that we are positioned to improve our operating performance and profitability. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will realize our assets and discharge our post-petition liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
However, our ability to achieve the necessary improvements is dependent upon several factors including the timely and successful implementation of the Joint Plan, the economy, the dynamics of the automotive transportation industry including actions by our major customers, our ability to retain our existing business, our ability to develop

(2) Accounting and Reporting Policies
Fresh-Start Reporting
Upon our emergence from Chapter 11, we implemented fresh-start reporting pursuant to the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 90-7,Financial Reporting By Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code(“SOP 90-7”). We selected May 31, 2007 as the fresh-start reporting date since it was the closest month-end to the Effective Date and the effect of using May 31, 2007, instead of May 29, 2007, was not material to our financial condition or results of operations wouldfor the periods presented. SOP 90-7 requires the implementation of fresh-start reporting if the reorganization value of the assets of the entity that emerges from Chapter 11 is less than the sum of the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims and holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the plan of reorganization receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity. Under fresh-start reporting a new reporting entity is deemed created and assets and liabilities are reflected at their fair values. Accordingly, the financial statements prior to the fresh-start reporting date are not likely be profitable inconsidered comparable to the ensuing years.financial statements prepared subsequent to the fresh-start reporting date. References to the “Successor” refer to our company subsequent to the fresh-start reporting date and references to the “Predecessor” refer to our company prior to the fresh-start reporting date.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) Regulation S-X and its instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include any adjustments relatingall of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed in this report, management believes that there have been no material changes in the information that we disclosed in the notes to the recoverability and classificationconsolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Use of Estimates and Seasonality
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that management make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of property

and equipment and goodwill; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax assets; uncertain tax positions; self-insurance liabilities; assets and obligations related to employee benefits; liabilities subject to compromise; and reorganization items. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our revenues are seasonal, with the second and fourth quarters generally experiencing higher revenues than the first and third quarters as a result of the higher volume of vehicles shipped. The volume of vehicles shipped is generally higher during the second quarter as North American light vehicle production has historically been at its highest level during this quarter due to higher consumer sales of automobiles, light trucks and SUVs in the spring and early summer. The introduction of new models in the fall of each year, combined with the manufacturers’ motivation to ship vehicles before calendar year-end, increase shipments to dealers through the fourth quarter. During the first and third quarters, vehicle shipments typically decline due to lower production volume during those periods. The third

ALLIED SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
quarter volume does benefit from the introduction of new models, but the net volume for the quarter is typically lower than the second and fourth quarters due to the scheduled original-equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) plant shutdowns, which generally occur early in the third quarter. The first quarter volume is negatively impacted by the holiday shutdowns in December of each year and the relatively low inventory of vehicles to ship as a result of maximizing shipments at the end of the year. However, given the unpredictable nature of consumer sentiment and our customers’ emphasis on more effective use of plant capacity, particularly those ofat General Motors, Corporation, Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Corporation (the “Big Three”)(our Automotive Group’s three largest customers), there can be no assurance that historical revenue patterns or manufacturer production levels will be an accurate indicator of future OEM shipment activity. Delivery activity at the Automotive Group and the Axis Group can also be impacted by the availability of rail cars, rail transportation schedules or changes in customer service demands. As a result of these and other factors, our operating results for the three monthsone-month period ended MarchJune 30, 2007 and the five-month period ended May 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
(3) Accounting for the Reorganization and Fresh-Start Reporting
As a result of our Chapter 11 filings, we have applied the guidance in SOP 90-7 in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. SOP 90-7 does not change the application of GAAP in the preparation of financial statements. However, SOP 90-7 does require that financial statements, for periods including and subsequent to the filing of a Chapter 11 petition, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business and also that liabilities subject to compromise be segregated from those not subject to compromise. In accordance with SOP 90-7, during the Chapter 11 Proceedings, we have:
separated liabilities that are subject to compromise from liabilities that are not subject to compromise;
distinguished transactions and events that areseparated liabilities that were subject to compromise from liabilities that were not subject to compromise, distinguished transactions and events that were directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business; and
ceased accruing interest on the 85/8% senior notes (“Senior Notes”) as of the Petition Date.
In addition, SOP 90-7 requires the implementation of fresh-start reporting if (1) the reorganization valuefrom the ongoing operations of the assets ofbusiness, ceased accruing interest on the entity that emerges from Chapter 11 is less than the sum of the postpetition liabilities85/8% senior notes (“Senior Notes”) and allowed claims and (2) holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the plan of reorganization receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares of the emerging entity. We will implementapplied fresh-start reporting as of May 31, 2007 (the “fresh-startthe fresh-start reporting date”), pursuant to SOP 90-7 since, based on the Joint Plan, the reorganization value of our assets post-emergence is less than the sum of the postpetition liabilities and allowed claims and holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Joint Plan are entitled to less than 50 percent of our voting shares post-emergence.date.

Pro Forma Fresh-Start Balance Sheet
As noted above, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we will adopt fresh-start reporting pursuant to SOP 90-7. Upon emergence, a new reporting entity (the “Successor Company”) was created and the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities will be adjusted to reflect estimated fair values. The financial statements of the Successor Company will not be comparable, in various material respects, to any of our previously issued financial statements.
Fresh-start reporting will reflectrequires resetting the value of the Successor Company as determined in the confirmed Joint Plan. Presented below is a pro forma fresh-start balance sheet reflecting the estimated effects of the Joint Plan, including settlement of liabilities subject to compromise, cancellation of existing stock of Allied Holdings, Inc. and issuance of new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. Also included are the estimated fresh-start adjustments, such as the restatementhistorical carrying amounts of assets and liabilities to fair values. The pro forma balance sheet was prepared as if the adoption of fresh-start reporting had occurred as of March 31, 2007.
Appraisals of our tangible and intangible assets have not been completed and various data to determine the fair value of liabilities are still being compiled.

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141,Business Combinations.The excess reorganization value over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets is recorded as goodwill on our consolidated balance sheet. Deferred taxes are determined in conformity with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.
SOP 90-7 also required that we adopt, on the fresh-start reporting date, all changes in accounting principles that would be required to be implemented within twelve months of the fresh-start reporting date. As a result, at the fresh-start reporting date, we adopted SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements.; the measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R);and SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option For Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115.
SFAS No. 157 was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in September 2006. SFAS No. 157 establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures about fair-value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value. Specifically, this Statement clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell thean asset or transfer thea liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. This Statement also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair-value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value and, for recurring fair-value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, the effect of the measurements on earnings for the period. This Statement encourages entities to combine the fair value information disclosed under this Statement with the fair value information disclosed under other accounting pronouncements, including SFAS No. 107,Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,where practicable. SFAS No. 157 would otherwise be effectiveThe fair values of our assets and liabilities for our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2008, and interim periods within 2008. However, we expect to implement SFAS No. 157 at the fresh-start reporting date, pursuant to SOP 90-7. The provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively, except for limited exceptions,were determined in which case, it should be applied retrospectively. We have not determined whetheraccordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 157 will require any changes to our fair-value measurements after the effective date of the Statement. However, expanded disclosures of fair value will be required.157.
Effective December 31, 2006, we adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R),which required, as of December 31, 2006, the initial recognition of the funded status of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans and also certain additional disclosures. SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end balance sheet forbeginning with the year ending December 31, 2008. However, as required by SOP 90-7, we expect to implementimplemented this provision as of the fresh-start reporting date pursuantby measuring the assets and liabilities as of the fresh-start reporting date. Prior to SOP 90-7. We utilizethe adoption, we utilized a measurement date of December 31 for the postretirement benefit plans and for the Allied Defined Benefit Pension Plan. With respect toPlan and for the other two defined benefit pension plans, we utilizeutilized a measurement date of September 30. All these measurement dates will now be December 31. The effect of the change in measurement dates, which was not material, was reflected in reorganization items in the statement of operations as a fresh-start reporting adjustment.
In February 2007, theThe FASB issued SFAS No. 159The Fair Value Option For Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115. in February 2007. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent

reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected are to be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 is effective at the beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2007. We have not yet decided whether we will electelected the fair value option for any of our assets or liabilities.
Except for these new pronouncements and a change in 2008 nor haveaccounting policy relating to tires on tractors and trailers, as discussed below, the significant accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, were all adopted by the Successor, though many account balances were adjusted to fair value when we adopted fresh-start reporting.

(Unaudited)
Previously, new or replacement tires on tractors and trailers were charged to operating supplies and expenses based on expected usage. We estimated the average useful life of a tire to be approximately two years. Tires with estimated remaining useful lives of one year or less were classified as current within prepayments and other current assets. Tires with estimated remaining useful lives in excess of one year were classified within other noncurrent assets. Tires purchased with tractors and trailers are now capitalized as part of the cost of tractors and trailers with depreciation expense recognized over the life of the tractor or trailer; subsequent replacement tires are charged to operating expense at the time those tires are placed into service, similar to repairs and maintenance. No retrospective application was required since as of the fresh-start reporting date, a new entity is deemed to be formed and all assets and liabilities were reported at the fair values. We believe that this method is preferable since it provides a less subjective and more precise method for recognizing expenses related to tires. The method is also more commonly used in the industry. At the fresh-start reporting date, the fair value of tractors and trailers included the value of the tires. Prepayments and other current assets and other noncurrent assets no longer include amounts relating to tires.
A reorganization value of $303 million was assigned to the Successor. This value was determined by the Bankruptcy Court with assistance from various financial advisers who applied various valuation methods. This reorganization value reflects financial market conditions existing at the time and the inherent uncertainty related to the achievement of our financial objectives. The valuation also included a number of assumptions, including a successful reorganization of the Debtors’ businesses and finances in a timely manner, assumptions regarding the amount of available cash, market conditions, and the Joint Plan becoming effective in accordance with its terms on a basis consistent with the estimates and other assumptions.
The determination of reorganization value also included reviews of certain of our historical financial information for recent years and interim periods, certain internal financial and operating data, such as financial projections relating to our business and prospects, publicly available financial data and market values of public companies deemed generally comparable to us. Consideration was also given to the value of publicly available transactions that occurred in industries deemed comparable to the industry in which we operate as well as certain economic and industry information relevant to our business.
The determination of reorganization value also included the use of discounted cash flow analyses, comparable public companies trading multiples and comparable transaction multiples methodologies. The valuation techniques utilized reflect both the market’s then view of our strategic initiatives and operations, as well as a longer-term focus on the intrinsic value of the financial projections associated with our strategic alternatives. The valuation multiples used to arrive at the going concern reorganization value were based on the public market valuation of selected public companies and public transactions deemed generally comparable to our operating businesses and the industry in which we operate as well as general capital market conditions. Factors considered in selecting comparable companies and transactions included factors such as comparable companies’ businesses, assets and capital structures, as well as such companies’ operating performance relative to ours and the turnaround required for us to perform as projected.
An estimate of reorganization value is not entirely mathematical, but rather, involves complex considerations and judgments concerning various factors that could affect the value of an operating business. Moreover, the value of an operating business is subject to uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult to predict and will fluctuate with changes in factors affecting the financial conditions and prospects of such a business. As a result, the projections utilized in the determination of reorganization value are not necessarily indicative of actual outcomes and may be significantly more or less favorable.
SOP 90-7 requires the allocation of reorganization value to individual assets and liabilities in accordance with the guidance contained in SFAS No. 141. As outlined below, the carrying amount of assets increased $131.5 million and liabilities decreased $0.4 million, as a result of the application of fresh-start reporting. Assets were adjusted to estimated fair values; liabilities were stated at the present values of estimated amounts to be paid at appropriate current interest rates, where appropriate, less original issue discount; defined benefit pension and other postretirement plan assets and obligations were stated at estimated fair value based on actuarial valuations; and deferred taxes were determined in accordance with SFAS No. 109. In connection with the allocation of reorganization value to individual assets and liabilities, we recorded certain previously unrecorded intangible assets relating to customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and trade names. The sum of the individual amounts allocated to assets and liabilities exceeded the reorganization value by $85.9 million, which we reported as goodwill.

Adjustments to reflect the revaluation of assets and liabilities resulted in a net gain of $131.9 million and the discharge of pre-petition debt resulted in a gain of $120.8 million. Both of these gains are included in reorganization items in the Predecessor’s statement of operations.
For each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, for the period subsequent to adoption, SFAS No. 157 requires the following disclosure about the fair values:

The carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities already approximated fair value at the fresh-start reporting date. As a result, there were no fair value adjustments relating to these items, and they are not included in the table above. Fair values for such assets and liabilities were assessed, at the fresh-start reporting date, using significant unobservable inputs (i.e., Level 3 inputs), except for cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits, which were assessed using quoted prices (i.e., Level 1 inputs).
We determined the fair values of property and equipment and other intangible assets using the value in continued use premise as of May 31, 2007. This premise of value differs from the value in exchange premise, which is the price at which an asset would sell on a piecemeal basis. Value in use is the worth of an asset used in an operating business and reflects the extent to which the underlying asset contributes to the profitability of the business enterprise. Adopting one or the other of these value premises can have a marked effect on the valuation of an asset. Assets that are special-purpose in nature may have little value if marketed piecemeal, yet they may provide a substantial contribution to the business. For this analysis, value in use was considered to be the proper basis for estimating the fair value of our assets since we intend to continue operating the assets in a continuous business operation, which we assume to be the highest and best use of the assets with market participants.
We considered the income, market and cost approaches in our analyses, as appropriate. The income approach measures the value of an asset by the present value of its future economic benefits. Value indications are developed in this technique by discounting expected cash flows to their present value at a rate of return that incorporates the risk-free rate for the use of funds, the expected rate of inflation and risks associated impact ifwith the asset. The discount rate selected is generally based on rates of return available from alternative investments of similar type and risk as of the valuation date. Applying the income approach is difficult in the case of assets such as property and equipment since it is difficult to segregate specific revenue and cost streams for each piece of equipment. The market approach measures the value of an asset through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable property. Sales and offering prices are adjusted for differences in location, time of sale, utility and the terms and conditions of sale between the asset being appraised and the comparable properties. The cost approach considers the concept of replacement as an indicator of value. We selected the most appropriate approach for each tangible and intangible asset based upon the quantity and quality of available information, nature, and characteristics of the subject.
Pursuant to SOP 90-7, at the fresh-start reporting date, liabilities are to be stated at the present values of amounts to be paid at appropriate current interest rates. Our accounting policy is to report our liability for claims and self-

11


ALLIED SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
insurance liabilities on an undiscounted basis. However, the fair value requirements of fresh-start reporting require discounting of liabilities that are expected to be paid over a period of greater than one year to reflect the liabilities at the present value of amounts to be paid in determining fair value. Therefore, as of the fresh-start reporting date, we makediscounted the estimated future payment stream for claims and self insurance liabilities using appropriate risk-free rates, ranging from 4.88% to 5.21%, for the projected payout periods, while at the same time increasing the future payment stream for such claims and liabilities for a risk premium based on the uncertainty inherent in the estimation of the liability of the portfolio. The risk premium was estimated using the cost of capital method, with the required capital percentage varying by the type of risk category.
We account for compensated absences in accordance with SFAS No. 43,Accounting for Compensated Absences, and in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting. Such costs are allocated among interim periods based on an estimate of time expired, benefit received or activity associated with the periods. At the fresh-start reporting date, a fair value adjustment resulted from the process of adjusting the interim period liabilities to the liabilities determined by applying the criteria of SFAS No. 43 to the interim date. In addition, the fair value adjustment of $4.0 million includes the effect of adjusting the liability for compensated absences for sick pay that had previously been accrued but is not required to be accrued per SFAS No. 43.
The interest rates payable on our senior secured credit facilities were established based on our credit profile. Since the rates were established so close to the fresh-start reporting date, in an open market, the interest rates of our senior secured credit facilities approximate the market interest rates at the fresh-start reporting date. Accordingly, the fair value of the senior secured credit facilities is considered to be the face amount less the original issue discount associated with the senior secured credit facilities. Unamortized debt issue costs associated with the New DIP Facility were eliminated as a result of the fair value adjustment.
We also performed a revaluation of the defined benefit pension and other postretirement assets and obligations as of the fresh-start reporting date, resulting in a net reorganization gain of $4.4 million. The weighted-average discount rate used in the actuarial valuation at the fresh-start reporting date was 6.0%, as compared to the weighted-average discount rate of 5.75% as of our last measurement date, December 31, 2006. In connection with this election.revaluation as required by SOP 90-7, we also early-adopted the requirements under SFAS No. 158, to measure the funded status of our plans as of the date of the remeasurement, eliminating the previous difference in the measurement dates.
All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections, including the fair value adjustments, the financial projections, the reorganization and equity value projections, are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond our control. Accordingly, we can provide no assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections will be realized, and actual results could vary materially.
The following table presents the effects on the consolidated balance sheet of transactions outlined in the Joint Plan and the effects of applying fresh-start reporting as of the fresh-start reporting date. The table represents the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise, cancellation of previous common stock, issuance of new stock as well as fresh-start adjustments including the revaluation of assets and liabilities to fair values and the recording of goodwill and other intangibles assets. The allocation of reorganization value to individual assets and liabilities is subject to adjustment as additional or improved information becomes available. Accordingly, the fresh-start valuation adjustments recorded below may be revised. We expect to finalize this allocation within one year of the Effective Date.

Property and equipment purchased after the fresh-start reporting date may have estimated useful lives outside of these ranges.
The cost approach was utilized for the valuation of the buildings and land improvements, considering the appropriate quantitative and qualitative property characteristics of the properties under consideration. The cost approach is based upon the current cost to develop the particular asset, less an allowance for depreciation. To establish the replacement cost new less depreciation of the buildings and land improvements, we analyzed relevant documents, such as surveys/site plans, prior appraisals and asset lists. Where applicable, we applied multipliers for property location and current costs. We also determined an allowance for physical depreciation and obsolescence for the buildings and land improvements based upon an age-life analysis with adjustments made for the condition of the assets, both positive and negative.
The sales comparison approach was used to value the land. It was also used to estimate the fair value of the overall properties, on a comparative basis to sales or listings of similar facilities. This approach measures the value of an asset through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable property. Sales and listing prices are adjusted for various financial and physical differences in comparison to the asset being appraised. The sales comparison approach was used in estimating the fair value of the land as if vacant and available for development, as well as for the combined site and current existing building and land improvements, as improved. The sales comparison approach is an appraisal technique in which a market value estimate is based upon prices paid in actual market transactions for properties that are comparable to the subject. It is a process of analyzing recently sold or listed properties that are similar to the subject properties. The reliability of this technique depends upon (a) the degree of comparability of the property appraised with each sale; (b) the length of time since the sale; (c) the accuracy of the sales data; and (d) the absence of unusual conditions affecting the sale. The steps included in the sales comparison approach included researching the market to obtain information on sales transactions, listings, and offerings for properties similar to the subject; verifying that the information obtained was factually accurate and that the transactions reflected arms-length market considerations to the best extent possible; analyzing the comparable sale properties to the subject using an appropriate unit of measure (e.g., sale price per acre or per square foot) and adjusting the sale price of each comparable property accordingly; and reconciling the various value indications produced from the analysis of comparable sales into a single value indication or a range of values. Market research was conducted to obtain applicable data.
In valuing the tractors and trailers (or together “Rigs”) we relied on the cost approach to value. To determine replacement cost new, we utilized the direct cost method. The direct cost method applied actual purchase prices for tractors and trailers recently purchased. Next, physical deterioration was applied to the assets. Depreciation from physical deterioration was estimated for the tractors and trailers based upon expected useful life and depreciation curves established by analyzing market data. Over the life of these assets, we typically remanufacture the tractors and trailers and rebuild the engines of the tractors to extend their useful lives. After approximately eight years, the engines are rebuilt. We have accounted for the remanufacturing of the assets and the engine rebuilds in our analysis. We analyzed historical data to better understand the life cycle of the Rigs and the magnitude of time and materials spent to remanufacture and rebuild these assets. We obtained information about the timing of these maintenance items and factored them into our analysis for the individual tractors and trailers. The depreciation factor for these items was based upon a straight-line method over eight years, which is consistent with the history of these assets. We utilized the indirect cost method to compare the values concluded upon from the direct cost method. The indirect cost method produced values consistent with those of the direct cost method.
In valuing the remaining personal property, we gave consideration to the cost, market, and income approaches to value and concluded that the best approaches were the cost and market approaches to value. To determine the replacement cost new, we utilized the indirect cost method and applied published price inflation index figures. Based upon observations, conversations, and inspections and analyses, we adjusted the “percent good” factor for personal property assets to account for the condition of the assets and other factors that influence effective age. The percent good factor represents the remaining value of the asset as a percent of its replacement cost, thus implying an estimate of physical deterioration. We assessed whether there was any functional or economic obsolescence (i.e., loss in value of the property caused by the inability of the property to adequately perform the function for which it is

(Unaudited)
utilized or loss in value from impairment of desirability or useful life arising from economic forces) and determined that there was none. We also developed indications of value based on market based research sources in which we identified comparable assets to certain computer equipment, machinery and equipment, plant vehicle, and vehicle assets and gathered information concerning used, resale and wholesale prices and the costs to deliver and install the property. To arrive at a fair value, we analyzed the overall validity of each approach based on the resources used.
As more fully discussed in Note 11, induring the second quarter oftwo-month period ended May 31, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Yucaipa pursuant to which Yucaipa would purchasepurchased certain specialized tractors and car-haul trailers (“Rigs”) from the bankruptcy auction of Blue Thunder Auto Transport, Inc. (the “Blue Thunder Rigs”). The Blue Thunder Rigs wouldwere then be sold to us at cost. We financed these Rigs with purchase money financing provided to us by Yucaipa. See Note 11 for a discussion of this financing arrangement. Pursuant to this agreement, we purchased 170 Rigs from Yucaipa during the second quarter oftwo-month period ended May 31, 2007 at a cost of $13.5 million. The Blue Thunder Rigs range betweenranged from three to five years in age.
(6) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As discussed in Note 3, in connection with the allocation of reorganization value to individual assets and liabilities, we recorded certain previously unrecorded intangible assets relating to customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and trade names and allocated the excess of reorganization value over the sum of the individual assets and liabilities to goodwill.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,the excess of reorganization value over individual assets and liabilities, recognized by entities that adopt fresh-start reporting in accordance with SOP 90-7 shall be reported as goodwill and accounted for in the same manner as goodwill. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets determined to have indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are evaluated for impairment annually, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, intangible assets, other than those determined to have an indefinite life, are amortized to their estimated residual values on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. These intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Customer Relationships
According to SFAS No. 141, in order for a customer relationship intangible asset to exist, the following conditions must be met:
There must be an established relationship between the vendor and customer such that both parties are aware of the identity and history of one another;
Data must be available that documents the relationship and transactions between the vendor and customer; and
There should be an identifiable income stream that is generated by the customer relationship.
In valuing the customer relationships, we utilized a variation of the income approach known as the residual income method. The income approach measures the future economic income that can be attributed to the existing customer relationships based on their expected remaining lives and requires an analysis of the following two key inputs:
The remaining useful lives of the customer relationships, considering their current terms and the renewal probability based on a customer historical attrition analysis; and
The debt-free net cash flow expected to be generated by the customer relationships over their remaining estimated useful lives.

17


ALLIED SYSTEMS HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Key assumptions and inputs used to develop the debt-free cash flow for the customer relationships were projected revenue growth, the average estimated remaining life of customer relationships, estimated customer relationship attrition, projected earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation, an estimated income tax rate, required return for the use of other contributory assets, an appropriate discount rate and the incremental value of the tax savings generated by the amortization of the intangible asset.
Developed Technology
A proprietary technology intangible asset can be defined as proprietary knowledge or processes that have been developed or purchased and are recognized as providing or having the potential to provide significant competitive advantages or product differentiation. A proprietary technology intangible asset can be identified as the end product, such as in high-tech companies, or can be an internally developed system or software package that enhances the process of producing other products, delivering a service or facilitates general business management. There are several approaches commonly used to value a technology intangible asset including the income, cost, and market approaches. Reconciling the value indications of different approaches requires an analysis of the qualitative factors that contribute to the value of the technology intangible asset, including age, life cycle, growth potential, profitability, required research and development expense, market opportunity and competition.
The developed technology that we identified as having value consists of proprietary internal use applications related primarily to operations and logistics. Since our proprietary technology is used internally and cannot be mapped directly to a product revenue stream, we utilized the cost approach to develop an indication of the value of the developed technology. The cost approach quantifies value by examining either the historical cost to create it or the estimated current cost to reproduce it at a given level of functionality. If the historical cost approach is used, an obsolescence factor is considered to adjust for the economic and functional obsolescence created by the passage of time. The valuation of our developed technology included reviews of cost detail including the estimated cost per hour to develop each application and the associated overhead costs, reviews of the time detail for the developed technology including estimated number of programs per application and estimated development hours per program, calculation of estimated cost to recreate each application, and in turn, the total cost of each system and use of obsolescence factors.
Trade Names and Trademarks
We relied upon the Relief from Royalty (“RFR”) method under the income approach to estimate the value of the trade name. The RFR method provides an estimate of the value of a trade name based on the present value of the projected cost savings attributable to the ownership of the trade name. This method is based on the theory that the owner of a trade name is relieved of paying a royalty or license fee for the use of the trade name. The method is a function of: (a) projected sales from products or services attributable to the trade name, (b) a reasonable market royalty rate that would otherwise be charged by a licensor of the trade name to a licensee of the trade name, and (c) an appropriate discount rate to reflect the risk of achieving the projected royalty savings attributable to the trade name. In implementing the RFR method to value our trade names and trademarks, we utilized revenue projections, royalty rates, tax rates, intangible discount rates and an amortization period for certain tax benefits.

(9) Insurance and Claims
We retain losses for specified risks subject to limits through high deductibles or self-insured retentions. For specified risks, coverage for losses is provided by primary and reinsurance companies unrelated to our company. Haul Insurance Limited, our captive insurance subsidiary, provides reinsurance coverage to certain of our licensed insurance carriers for selected losses and years within our insurance program, primarily insured workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability risks. In states where we are insured for workers’ compensation claims, the majority of our risk in 2006 and 2007 is covered by a fully insured program with no deductible.
Claims and insurance liabilities are adjusted periodically, as claims develop, to reflect changes in actuarial estimates based on actual experience. During the quarterone-month period ended MarchJune 30, 2007 and the two-month period ended May 31, 2007, there were no changes in the estimated ultimate amount of claims from prior years. During the five-month period ended May 31, 2007, the estimated ultimate amount of claims from prior years decreased approximately $1.4 million or $0.16 per share.
Our accounting policy is to report our liability for claims and self-insurance liabilities on an undiscounted basis. We have determined that the historical unfavorable development of aged claims was such that we cannot reliably determine such liabilities on a discounted basis. However, the fair value reporting requirements under fresh-start accounting require discounting of liabilities that are expected to be paid over a period of greater than one year to reflect the liabilities at the present value of amounts to be paid in determining fair value. Therefore, as of the fresh-start reporting date, we discounted the estimated future payment stream for self-insurance liabilities using appropriate risk-free rates, ranging from 4.88% to 5.21%, for the projected payout periods, while at the same time increasing the future payment stream for these liabilities for a risk premium based on the uncertainty inherent in the estimation of the liability of the portfolio. The risk premium was estimated using the cost of capital method, with the required capital percentage varying by the type of risk category. Subsequent to fresh-start reporting, the liabilities will continue to be reported on an undiscounted basis. The fair value adjustment made at the fresh-start reporting date will be amortized into expense over the period of projected payouts.
The amounts recognized in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of March 31,June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 represent the undiscounted estimated ultimate amount of claims.claims, reduced by the remaining fair-value adjustment as of June 30, 2007 of $6.2 million. These amounts are presented below (in thousands):

A substantial number of our employees are covered by union-sponsored, collectively bargained, multiemployer pension plans. In the event we reduce the level of our participation in any of these plans, we could incur a withdrawal liability for a portion of the unfunded benefit obligation of the plan, if any. If a withdrawal were to occur, the liability would be the actuarially determined unfunded obligation based on factors at the time of withdrawal.
A number of proofs of claim related to pre-petition liabilities under the multiemployer pension plans to which we contribute were filed on or before the bar date established by the Bankruptcy Court. The majority of the claims were filed on a contingent basis, which means that no plan withdrawal liability was asserted, but shouldif a withdrawal occur,had occurred, we would have had an obligation related to the withdrawal. Currently, we have no intention of withdrawingWe did not withdraw our participation in these plans.
Two suchproofs of claims, totaling $15.8 million, assertasserted general unsecured claims for withdrawal liability on a noncontingent basis. We have determined that it iswas probable that a withdrawal had occurred in each case prior to the Petition Date and that the claim amounts asserted arewere reasonable estimates of the withdrawal liability. Accordingly, the amount of $15.8 million iswas included in liabilities subject to compromise as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

One of the claims, which was for $10.9 million, was withdrawn on the date that the Joint Plan was confirmed and is reflected in the gain on debt discharge. The remaining liability of $4.9 million is entitled to settlement as of the Effective Date along with the other general unsecured claims.
(b) Employee Retention Plan
The Allied Holdings, Inc. Amended Severance Pay and Retention and Emergence Bonus Plan for Key Employees (the “employee retention plan”) was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on January 6, 2006. The employee retention plan includesincluded three components: a severance component, a stay bonus component and a discretionary bonus component. During the three monthstwo-month period ended MarchMay 31, 2007, the five-month period ended May 31, 2007 and the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, we recognized reorganization expenses of $360,000$241,000, $601,000, $773,000 and $817,000,$1,589,000, respectively, related to the stay and discretionary bonus components. No expense was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 related to the severance portion of the employee retention plan. The liabilities related to the employee retention plan were $1.6$0.9 million and $1.7 million at March 31,June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006,

respectively, and are included in “other accrued liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. We paid $1.0 million of the retention amount in May 2007 in connection with the Bankruptcy Court’s confirmation of the Joint Plan and the final retention payment of $1.0 million was made in July 2007, 60 days after the Effective Date.
On April 30, 2007, The only expense recognized for the severance portion of the employee retention plan was severance of $1.1 million related to the termination of our previous Chief Executive Officer who was notified by the Board of Directors notified our Chief Executive Officeron April 30, 2007 that his employment would be terminated on or about May 31, 2007.

Original DIP Facility
In connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings, on August 1, 2005, we obtained debtor-in-possession financing of up to $230 million (the “Original DIP Facility”). General Electric Capital Corporation and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. served as agents for the lenders. The Original DIP Facility initially provided for aggregate financing of up to $230 million comprised of (i) a $130 million revolving credit facility (“Original DIP Revolver”), which included a swing-line credit commitment of $10 million and up to $75 million in letters of credit, (ii) a $20 million term loan (“Original DIP Facility Term Loan A”) and (iii) an $80 million term loan (“Original DIP Facility Term Loan B”). The Original DIP Revolver bore interest at an annual rate, at our option, of either an annual index rate (based on the greater of the base rate on corporate loans as published from time to time inThe Wall Street Journalor the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus 2.00%, or the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 3.00%. In addition, we were charged a letter of credit fee under the Original DIP Revolver payable monthly at a rate per annum equal to 2.75% times the amount of all outstanding letters of credit under the Original DIP Revolver. There was also a fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Original DIP Revolver.

Original DIP Facility Term Loan C bore interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 9.5%, payable at our option in cash each month or in kind by addition to principal on a monthly basis, with interest compounded on a monthly basis. The Fifth Amendment provided us with additional availability by allowing the payment of interest in kind on Original DIP Facility Term Loan B by addition to principal on a monthly basis. Accordingly, subsequent to the Fifth Amendment, the Original DIP Facility provided for debtor-in-possessiondebtor in possession financing of up to $260 million plus interest paid in kind. Further, the Fifth Amendment reduced the interest rate on Original DIP Facility Term Loan B from LIBOR plus 9.5% to LIBOR plus 8.5%. The interest rate on Original DIP Facility Term Loan A remained unchanged at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 5.5%. During the first quarter ofended March 31, 2007, we paid interest in kind by addition to principal of approximately $3.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2006, we paid interest in kind by addition to principal of approximately $6.3 million. The deferred financing fees relating to the Original DIP Facility were expensed during the first quarter ofended March 31, 2007 as part of the extinguishment of the debt.
New DIP Facility
The New DIP Facility, which was arranged by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co., was entered into on March 30, 2007 and amended in April 2007, provided financing of up to $315 million, and replaced the Original DIP Facility. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the New DIP Facility provided us with the option to convert to exit financinga senior secured credit facility upon our emergence from Chapter 11, which we exercised, as described below under “Secured“Senior Secured Credit Facilities”. The New DIP Facility included a $230 million secured term loan facility, a $50 million synthetic senior letter of credit facility and a $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“New DIP Revolver”), which included a swing-line credit commitment of $10 million. Proceeds from the New DIP Facility of $205 million at March 30, 2007 were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Original DIP Facility and associated fees, and to provide additional liquidity for working capital needs. Excess cash received in connection with the funding of the New DIP Facility was invested in overnight repurchase agreements (“REPOs”). In connection with the repayment of the Original DIP Facility and the funding of the New DIP Facility, we paid fees of approximately $9.4 million, $1.3 million of which related to the early repayment of the Original DIP Facility and $8.1 million of which related to the New DIP Facility. The fees related to the early repayment of the Original DIP Facility are includedreported in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and include a prepayment penalty of $1.1 million.
The interest rates on the term loans in the New DIP Facility were based on either the Base Rate plus 2.50%, or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.50%. The interest rate on the New DIP Revolver was based on either the Base Rate plus 1% or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2%. The swing line loans bore interest at the Base Rate plus 2.5%. Base Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus1/2 of 1%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is generally LIBOR, but the rate could be affected if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulated a reserve requirement. In addition, we were charged a participation fee pursuant to the letter of credit facility equal to approximately 3.80% per annum of the amount of the synthetic letter of credit facility plus a fronting fee of 0.55% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under letters of credit issued under the synthetic letter of credit facility. We were also obligated to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.375% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the New DIP Revolver and a commitment fee of 1.75% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the term loan facility. AsOn May 11, 2007, an additional $25 million was drawn under the term loans. Accordingly, as of March 31,May 11, 2007, $205$230 million was outstanding under the term loans and at that date, we had not drawn on the New DIP Revolver. On May 11, 2007, the remaining $25 million was drawn under the term loans and theThe resulting excess cash was invested in REPOs.
On May 15, 2007, we restructured the New DIP Facility resulting in (1) an amended and restated $265 million first lien credit facility (the “First Lien Facility”) with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as lead Arranger and Syndication Agent, and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and (2) a $50 million second lien term loan facility with Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as lead Arranger, Syndication Agent, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Second Lien Facility”). As amended and restated, the First Lien Facility provided for aggregate financing of $265 million comprised of a $180 million secured term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Facility”), a $50 million synthetic letter of credit facility (the “Letter of Credit Facility”) and a $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolver”), which included a swing-line credit commitment of $10 million. The Second Lien Facility provided for a $50 million secured term loan.loan (the “Second Lien Term Facility”). The interest rate on the First Lien Term Facility was based on

the Base Rate plus 3.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.0%. The interest rate on the Second Lien Facility was based on the Base Rate plus

6.5%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%. The interest rate on the New DIP Revolver was based on the Base Rate plus 1% or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2%. The swing line loans in the New DIP Revolver bore interest at the Base Rate plus 1%.
The REPOs discussed above are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near to maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. In addition, the REPOs have original maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, these securities qualify to be treated as cash and cash equivalents.
Senior Secured Credit Facilities
As a condition precedent to our emergence from Chapter 11, on May 29, 2007, the First Lien Facility and the Second Lien Facility were converted to Secured Credit Facilities.senior secured credit facilities. As a result of the conversion, the First Lien Facility will mature five years after the Effective Date and the Second Lien Facility will mature five and a half years after the Effective Date.
Amounts outstanding under the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities will bear interest at the following annual rates:
 First Lien Term Loan Facility ��� At our option, either the Base Rate (which is equal to the greater of the prime rate as published from time to time inThe Wall Street Journalor the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%) plus 3.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.0%;
Second Lien Term Loan Facility — At our option, either the Base Rate plus 6.5%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%; and
First Lien Revolver — At our option, either the Base Rate plus 1.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0%.
As of June 30, 2007, the weighted-average interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan Facility and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility was 10.1%.
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under those facilities atas of the date of the conversion, beginning no later than 90 days after the date of the conversion. Future results of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap agreements.
In addition, the following are among the fees we will be charged under the Secured Credit Facilities:senior secured credit facilities are the following: (A) a credit fee pursuant to the Letter of Credit Facility equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.15% per annum times the average daily amount deposited by the lenders under the Letter of Credit Facility; (B) a commitment fee of 1.75% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the First Lien Term Loan Facility; (C) a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the First Lien Revolver; and (D) a fronting fee under the Letter of Credit Facility of 0.55% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility.
The Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities include customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants binding on us, including delivery of financial statements and other reports and maintenance of corporate existence. The negative covenants limit our ability to, among other things, incur debt, incur liens, make investments, sell assets, or declare or pay any dividends on capital stock. The financial covenants included in the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities limit the amount of annual capital expenditures and set forth a maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities require mandatory prepayment with the net cash proceeds from certain asset sales, equity offerings, and any insurance proceeds that we receive. As of September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of the senior secured credit facility but can provide no assurance that we will be able to comply with these covenants or, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain amendments or waivers of such covenants.
The Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities include customary events of default including events of default related to (i) failure to make payments when due under the Secured Credit Facilities,senior secured credit facilities, (ii) failure to comply with the financial covenants set forth in the Secured Credit Facilities,senior secured credit facilities, (iii) defaults under other agreements or instruments of indebtedness, (iv) the granting of certain other super-priority administrative expense claims or non-permittednon-

Obligations under the First Lien Facility are secured by a first priority lien on 100% of the capital stock of our domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries, all of our current and after-acquired personal and real property and all intercompany debt. Obligations under the Second Lien Facility are secured by a second priority lien on 100% of the capital stock of our domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries, all of our current and after-acquired personal and real property and all intercompany debt. The liens securing the Second Lien Facility have been subordinated to the liens securing the First Lien Facility.
As of September 28,June 30, 2007, we had not drawn on the First Lien Revolver. As of November 9, 2007, we had drawn $3$4 million on the First Lien Revolver and as a result, $32$31 million was available as of that date.
Debt ClassificationAggregate minimum payments due on the senior secured credit facilities at June 30, 2007, are as follows (in thousands):
If the New DIP Facility had not been converted to the Secured Credit Facilities, it would have matured no later than September 30, 2007. We intended to refinance the short-term obligation on a long-term basis, and we subsequently converted it to the long-term Secured Credit Facilities. We believe that it is not probable that we will be in noncompliance with the provisions of the Secured Credit Facilities within one-year from the balance sheet date. Therefore, we have excluded the New DIP Facility from current liabilities and have classified it as noncurrent, pursuant to SFAS No. 6,Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected To Be Refinanced.

The Canadian Revolver bears interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 0.5% and is secured by a letter of credit of $2.6 million, which is included in the $40.0$40.9 million of outstanding letters of credit discussed in Note 13(b). At June 30, 2007, nothing was drawn on this facility.
Rig Financing
As discussed in Note 65 above, induring the second quarter oftwo months ended May 31, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Yucaipa pursuant to which Yucaipa would purchase the Blue Thunder Rigs, which would then be sold to us at cost. We financed the purchase of these Rigs with purchase money financing provided to us by Yucaipa (the “Rig Financing”), which Rig Financing was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on April 6, 2007. The Rig Financing of $15 million was completed prior to the Effective Date and included funds to retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs, and to pay certain costs and expenses associated with the purchase, such as registration expenses. The notes under the Rig Financing bore interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4%, payable in-kind quarterly by addition to principal. Pursuant to this agreement, upon our emergence from Chapter 11, the $15.1 million related to the Rig Financing was converted to equity of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. Of the $15.1 million, $13.5 million representsrepresented the purchase cost of the Rigs, $0.3 million was used to pay certain costs associated with the purchase, $0.1 million representsrepresented interest, and the reminder was received by us to retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs. As stipulated in the Rig Financing agreement, upon conversion, Yucaipa was entitled to receive a percentage of the new equity of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc., with the numerator equal to the amount owed under the Rig Financing, including interest, and the denominator equal to $285 million minus debt, exclusive of the Rig Financing, plus cash on the Effective Date, after giving effect to the Joint Plan. Such percentage was estimated to be approximately 22%, of which Yucaipa’s portion was approximately 18% and the other participants in the Rig Financing were to receive the remaining 4%.

(12) Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, theAs a result of our emergence from Chapter 11, income from discharge of indebtedness, for income tax (expense) benefitpurposes, of approximately $100 million will reduce the amount of our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes. We estimate that we will have remaining net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $40 million after the effects of the Joint Plan. We have not finalized our assessment of the tax effect of our emergence from Chapter 11 and this estimate, as well as the overall effect on all tax attributes, is subject to revision, which could be significant. As a result of the issuance of new common stock upon emergence, we realized a change in ownership under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the amount of our net operating loss carryforwards that we can utilize each year will be limited.
The valuation allowance decreased approximately $45 million during 2007 due primarily to the reduction of our net operating loss carryforwards, as a result of the discharge of indebtedness, and the effect of the fresh-start reporting adjustments. Management concluded that at June 30, 2007, we continue to require a valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets since we have concluded, after considering all sources of taxable income, that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In accordance with SOP 90-7, if we utilize pre-emergence net operating loss carryforwards or other tax attributes, or release associated valuation allowances, we will sequentially reduce the carrying amount of goodwill followed by other indefinite-lived assets until the net carrying amount of these assets is eliminated.
The income tax expense in the accompanying statements of operations differed from the amounts computed by applying statutory rates to the reported income (loss) before income taxes for all periods presented. For periods with income before taxes, the expected tax expense is offset by the reversal of associated valuation allowances in most cases. For all periods presented, we recognized tax expenses related to foreign jurisdictions where no valuation allowance is recorded. In addition, we recognized tax expense during the two months ended May 31, 2007 since the effects of the Joint Plan created deferred tax liabilities for which the timing of the reversal is indefinite. The reversal of those items is not available to offset against deferred tax assets. As a result, an additional valuation allowance was required. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, no expense was recognized related to the income before income taxes, except for the amount related to foreign jurisdictions, since we reported a year-to-date loss before income taxes and no benefit was recognized for the loss before income taxes in the first quarter of 2006. For periods with a loss before income taxes, no benefit was recognized since we did not meet the more likely than not criteria to recognize the tax benefits of losses in most of our jurisdictions. The loss before income taxes generated deferred tax assets for which we increased the valuation allowance. For both periods presented, we recognized tax expenses related to foreign jurisdictions where no valuation allowance is recorded.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,”and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of the benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than a 50 percent likelihood of being realized. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions to be completed prior to assessing the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The cumulative-effect of applying the provisions of this Interpretation of $1.2$1.8 million was reported as an adjustment to the January 1, 2007, balance of accumulated deficit. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 after applying the provisions of FIN 48 were $7.0 million. Included in the total unrecognized benefits at January 1, 2007, are $1.4 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rates in future periods. At January 1, 2007, we had $643,000 of accrued interest and $233,000 of accrued penalties. It is our policy to classify interest and penalties recognized on the potential underpayment of income taxes as interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively, in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change from January 1, 2007 to March 31, 2007. For certain uncertain tax positions it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months as a result of the effects ofUpon our emergence from Chapter 11, orwe reduced the FIN 48 liability by approximately $1.3 million related to uncertain tax positions in periods prior to the Petition Date since the claims settlement of audits that may be initiated.process limits certain jurisdictions from assessing additional tax liabilities in those periods.

ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
(Unaudited)
As discussed in Note 1, on July 31, 2005 Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Our Canadian subsidiaries arewere included among the subsidiaries that filed voluntary petitions seeking bankruptcy protection in the Bankruptcy Court, and they also filed applications for creditor protection under the Companies Creditors’ Arrangement Act in Canada, which, like Chapter 11, allows for reorganization under the protection of the court system. Our captive insurance company, Haul Insurance Limited, as well as our subsidiaries in Mexico and Bermuda were not included in the Chapter 11 filings.
On May 18, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Joint Plan and on the Effective Date, the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
As debtors-in-possession, we were authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing business, but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Petition Date, most pending litigation and pre-petition liabilities were stayed, and absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party, subject to certain exceptions, could take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to recover pre-petition claims against us. One exception to this stay of litigation was any action or proceeding by a governmental agency to enforce its police or regulatory power. The claims asserted in litigation and proceedings to which the stay applied could be fully and finally resolved in connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Proceedings and, to the extent not resolved, will need to be addressed in the context of the Joint Plan.
(b) Letters of Credit
At March 31,June 30, 2007, we had issued $139.8$139.3 million of outstanding letters of credit to third parties related primarily to the settlement of claims and insurance liabilities and support for a line of credit at one of our foreign subsidiaries. Of the $139.8$139.3 million, outstanding at March 31, 2007, $42.0$40.9 million of these letters of credit were secured by availability under the New DIPFirst Lien Revolver and $97.8$98.4 million were issued by our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, and were collateralized by $97.8$98.4 million of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits held by this subsidiary. We renew these letters of credit annually. See Note 11 for a discussion of the current letter of credit facilities under the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities.
(c) Litigation, Claims, Assessments
We are involved in various litigation and environmental matters relating to employment practices, damages,automobile liability, general liability, and other matters arising from operations in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position but could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in a future period.
As part of the previously disclosed settlement agreement with Ryder System, Inc. (“Ryder”), we issued a letter of credit in favor of Ryder and agreed to certain scheduled increases in the amount of the letter of credit. At March 31,June 30, 2007, the letter of credit totaled $7.5 million and is included in the $42.0$40.9 million of outstanding letters of credit noted in (b) above. Ryder may only draw on the letter of credit if we fail to pay workers’ compensation and liability claims assumed by us in the Ryder Automotive Carrier Group acquisition. We have provided the letter of credit in favor of Ryder because Ryder has issued a letter of credit to its insurance carrier relating to the workers’ compensation and liability claims assumed by us. Under the agreement with Ryder, an actuarial valuation will be performed periodically to determine the remaining amount outstanding of the workers’ compensation and liability claims that we assumed. Based on the results of the actuarial valuation, the letter of credit will be adjusted, as appropriate. The letter of credit totals $7.5 million as of September 28,November 9, 2007.
We are defending against an appeal in the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals concerning the confirmation of our Joint Plan. The appeal was filed by certain Predecessor stockholders. The appeal was dismissed by the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia as, inter alia, moot due to the substantial consummation of the Joint Plan. The stockholders have appealed the dismissal. We do not believe that the appeal has merit, and thus, we do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
(d) Purchase and Service Contract Commitments
We have a ten-year agreement with IBM, which commenced in February 2004, whereby IBM provides our mainframe computer processing services, manages those applications relating to our electronic data interchange, network services and technical services and provides us with applications development and support services.

(e) Leases
We lease Rigs, office space, computer equipment, and certain terminal facilities under noncancelable operating lease agreements. Included in these noncancelable leases are operating lease commitments for approximately 315187 Rigs. Original lease terms range between five and seven years. However, during 2006 and 2005, we amended certain of these lease agreements to extend them for an additional year. These operating leases expire between 2007 and 2010 and contain residual guarantees of up to 25% of the original cost of the Rigs. We included these residual value guarantees in the calculations that we performed in determining the proper classification of these leases. No accruals for these guarantees were considered necessary at MarchJune 30, 2007.
Also included in the noncancelable operating leases disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 was a lease for corporate office space in Decatur, Georgia. This lease is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007. We will not be renewing this lease and have advised the landlord of our intention to vacate the premises effective December 31, 2007. A new lease agreement for corporate office space in Atlanta, Georgia has been signed.

Our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters Union in Eastern Canada was to expire on October 31, 2006. The negotiations regarding a new agreement were postponed during the Chapter 11 Proceedings and further negotiations subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11 resulted in an extension of the expiration date through June 28, 2007. On June 24, 2007, our Teamster-represented employees in Eastern Canada ratified a new, three-year agreement that provides for certain wage and benefit increases retroactive to November 1, 2006, with an additional increaseswage and benefit increase that was effective November 1, 2007 and an additional increase scheduled to occur on November 1, 2007 and November 1, 2008.

(g) Employee Agreements with Certain Executive Officers
As of the Effective Date, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with certain executive officers of our company. The agreements provide for compensation to the officers in the form of annual base salaries and are for one-year terms whichthat renew automatically unless either party gives the required notice before the end of the current term. In addition, we entered into an employment agreement with our new President and Chief Executive Officer which(“CEO”) that became effective on June 1, 2007. This agreement includes provisions for a sign-on bonus, annual base salary, a performance-based bonus, options to acquire 300,000 shares of Successor common stock at an exercise price of $18.30 and reimbursement of relocation expenses, among other provisions. Each of the employment agreements provide for severance benefits based upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the agreement. These employment agreements supersede any severance that would otherwise be payable under the employee retention plan.
During July 2007, the employment agreement with one of the above executive officers was terminated, and we paid $225,000 in severance as required by the terms of that agreement. This amount will be recognized as an expense during the three monthsthree-month period ending September 30, 2007.
As disclosed in note 10 above, our former Chief Executive Officer was terminated on or about May 31, 2007 and in connection therewith, we paid him $1.1 million, to him, the severance amount due to him under the employee retention plan. Also, in May 2007, we rejected the employment agreement dated February 23, 2000, as amended on January 21, 2005, with ourthe then Chairman of theour Board of Directors. As allowed by the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, he is entitled to a claim for damages, based on the termination provisions of the employment agreement. The claim for approximately $429,000 will be allowed as ais being settled along with other general unsecured claim. These amounts will be recognized as an expense during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, on or prior to the fresh-start reporting date.claims.
(14) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
SFAS No. 128,Earnings Per Share,requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings (loss) of the entity. ForDue to their antidilutive effect, we excluded 1.1 million and 1.6 million options to acquire Predecessor common stock for the three monthstwo and five-month periods ended MarchMay 31, 2007 and the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, we excluded options to acquire approximately 1,532,000 and 1,573,000 shares of common stock, respectively, from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the impact would have been antidilutive.respectively. Pursuant to the Joint Plan, new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. was issued by the Successor as of the Effective Date and all interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. common stock prior to the Effective Date, including options to acquire the Predecessor common stock, were cancelled.
Upon our emergence from Chapter 11 and the adoption of fresh-start reporting, the Successor adopted a new capital structure. In connection therewith, 10 million shares of common stock became issuable to unsecured creditors. As of August 1,June 30, 2007, we had7,035,101 of the 10 million shares were issued 7,035,101 shares of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. common stock. However, weand 2,964,899 were reserved for future issuance. We are still reviewing creditor claims of pre-petition liabilities and certain of those claims are not yet liquidated. Upon resolution of these matters, the additional shares will be issued. In addition, the number of shares issued to new shareholders may be revised based upon resolution of the final claims. Therefore, upon resolutionPursuant to SFAS No. 128, we have included the full 10 million shares as outstanding in the computation of these matters we could issue additionalthe weighted-average number of shares which we currently estimate would result in no more than 10,000,000used to compute the earnings (loss) per share for the one-month period ended June 30, 2007 since all conditions of distribution were met as of the fresh-start reporting date.
At June 30, 2007, outstanding options to acquire 300,000 shares in total.of Successor common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their antidilutive effect.

On the Effective Date, the long-term incentive plan and all interests in Allied Holdings, Inc.our common stock, including options to acquire theour common stock, were cancelled.
During the three monthstwo-month period ended MarchMay 31, 2007, the five-month period ended May 31, 2007, and the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of approximately $57,000$225,000, $282,000, $93,000 and $93,000,$186,000, respectively. The expense recorded in all periods presented represented compensation expense related

to stock options that were unvested at the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment(“SFAS No. 123(R)”). No new stock options were granted during the three monthstwo-month period ended MarchMay 31, 2007, or the three monthsfive-month period ended MarchMay 31, 2007, nor the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006. The stock-basedStock-based compensation expense, recorded duringto the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006extent recorded, is included in salaries, wages and fringe benefits in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The expense for the two and five month periods ended May 31, 2007 included the accelerated recognition of $187,000 of share-based compensation due to the cancellation of the Predecessor’s share-based awards.
The stockholders of the Successor have not approved a new long-term incentive plan. However, on June 1, 2007, we granted our new CEO options to acquire 300,000 shares of Successor common stock at an exercise price of $18.30. This award vests over five years, 20% per year on the anniversary of the grant date, and will expire after ten years. The fair value of these stock options was determined at the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula, which requires us to make certain assumptions. The risk-free rate of 4.92% was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect for the expected term of the options at the time of grant. The dividend yield on our common stock is assumed to be zero since we do not pay dividends and have no current plans to do so. Expected volatility was determined based on our historical volatility data, prior to our Chapter 11 filing, of 77%. The expected term of the options was estimated as 6.5 years based on the “simplified method” allowed by the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107. Under the simplified method, the expected term is calculated as the sum of the vesting term plus the contractual term divided by two. Since this option has a graded vesting schedule, 20% per year, the vesting term for the simplified method is the average of the respective vesting terms. During the one-month period ended June 30, 2007, we recognized compensation expense related to this award of $30,000, based on a grant date fair value of $6.09 per option. None of the options were exercisable as of June 30, 2007. At March 31,June 30, 2007, unrecognized compensation expense associated with unvested stock options was approximately $225,000, all of$1,797,000, which will be recognized as compensation expense duringon a straight-line basis over the second quarterrequisite service period of five years for the entire award.

General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, in particular, have each publicly announced plans to significantly reduce vendor costs including those associated with transportation services. In addition, our two largest customers, General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company, have recently announced plans regarding their intent to close certain production facilities, some of which we serve. A loss of volume would negatively impact our financial results.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the discussion and analysis in this section in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in “Item 1. Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements, related notes and other financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, we use forward-looking statements in the discussion that follows. Forward-looking statements by nature involve risks and uncertainties and hence our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as a result of various factors, some of which we discuss in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” on our emergence from Chapter 11 and on the application of fresh-start reporting, a new reporting entity was deemed to be formed and as a result, the financial statements of the Successor are not comparable to the financial statements of the Predecessor.
However, the discussion of results of operations in this section compares the three months ended June 30, 2007 with the three months ended June 30, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2007 with the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our discussion of operating, investing and financing activities compares the six months ended June 30, 2007 with the six months ended June 30, 2006. We believe that for purposes of management’s discussion and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, this presentation provides management and investors with a better perspective of trends and of our ongoing financial and operational performance. In addition, the application of fresh-start reporting does not significantly impact factors such as seasonality of revenues. Further, though having a significant noncash impact on our current and future results of operations, fresh-start reporting will have no impact on underlying cash flows.
Executive Overview
As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” from July 31, 2005 through May 29, 2007, the Effective Date, Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its subsidiaries operated under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 and Allied Holdings, Inc. merged into its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Systems Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. as the surviving corporation. Thecorporation with authorized capital stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. as of the Effective Date consisted of one hundred100 million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and ten10 million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
We continue to operate in substantially our previous form, and the outstanding claims against and interests in the Debtors are being resolved pursuant to the Joint Plan. As of the Effective Date, our debtor-in-possession financing was converted to Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities that serve as our exit financing. The implementation of the Joint Plan includes, among other things, the consummation of the following transactions:
 i) Payment in cash, reinstatement, return of collateral or other treatment of other secured claims, as agreed with the holder of each such claim;
 
 ii) Distribution of new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc.Inc on a pro rata basis to the holders of allowed general unsecured claims;
 
 iii) Cancellation of the existing common stock interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. (holders of equity interests receivereceived nothing under the Joint Plan); and
 
 iv) Assumption of selected contracts.
We will adopt fresh-start reporting as of the Effective Date, pursuant to SOP 90-7, which is more fully discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.” Upon adoption, assets and liabilities will be adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values and the effects of the Joint Plan will be recorded. As a result, subsequent financial statements of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. will not be comparable, in various material respects, to any of our previously issued financial statements.
In addition, the Joint Plan requires that we work with the IBT to determine whether we can reach an agreement regarding the potential to have the employees of our Axis Group who perform carhaul work be represented by the IBT, and if so, on what terms and conditions, and to have carhaul work that is controlled by the Axis Group assigned by right of first refusal to our Automotive Group or another carhaul company subject to the Master Agreement. We were to reach an agreement with the IBT on this issue within ninety days of the Effective Date. Allied and the IBT have agreed to extend the date to October 26, 2007 to reach an agreement on this matter. If an agreement acceptable to both Allied and the IBT is not reached by October 26, 2007, we will have four months to sell those operations within the Axis Group. We are continuing to work with the IBT in an effort to bring this matter to a conclusion within the sixty-day extension.
On the Effective Date, we emerged from Chapter 11 with a redesigned capital structure, lower debt, improved customer contracts and improved contract terms with the IBT regarding our employees in the U.S. represented by the Teamsters. We believe that the factors that precipitated our need to file for protection under Chapter 11 have been adequately addressed and that we are positioned to improve our operating performance and profitability. However, our ability to achieve the necessary improvements is dependent upon several factors including the timely and successful implementation of the Joint Plan, the economy, the dynamics of the automotive transportation industry including actions by our major customers, our ability to retain our existing business, our ability to develop and implement successful business strategies, our ability to maintain effective relationships with our employees including those

represented by the Teamsters, our ability to maintain effective relationships with our suppliers and customers, the price and availability of fuel and our ability to successfully manage other operational challenges. If we failFailure to improve our performance it could continue to have an adverse effect onalso adversely affect our financial condition, cash flow, liquidity and business prospects and our operations would not likely be profitable in the ensuing years.prospects.

The number of vehicles delivered by our Automotive Group in each of the quarters during 2005 and 2006 and the first quartertwo quarters of 2007 has been consistently less than the number of vehicles delivered during the comparable period in the prior year. Furthermore, the level of decline on a year-over-year basis has been increasing. We have been able to offset at least a portion of the unfavorable impact on revenue caused by the reduction in the number of vehicles delivered with customer rate increases. We have reached an agreement in principle with Chrysler Corporation to renew our current contract for a two year term expiring September 30, 2009.  The agreement in principle provides for us to retain substantially all the business our Automotive Group currently transports for Chrysler in North America.  The agreement in principle provides for increases in the rates on the business served by our Automotive Group effective October 1, 2007 and October 1, 2008.  The agreement in principle remains subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.
Allied Automotive’s business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, who each reduced production levels during 2006 and 2007, including selected plant closures in the U.S. General Motors and Ford have publicly announced additional plans to reduce production levels and eliminate excess manufacturing capacity including plans to eliminate jobs and reduce costs for certain employees. The efforts underway by our customers to improve their overall financial condition could result in numerous changes that are beyond our control including additional unannounced customer plant closings, changes in products or distribution patterns, further volume reductions, labor disruptions, changes or disruptions in our accounts receivable, mandatory reductions in our pricing, terms or service conditions or market share losses. We cannot accurately anticipate some of the risks associated with the financial condition of our largest customers and the trend of lower vehicle deliveries in comparison to prior years could continue.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2006
For the firstsecond quarter of 2007, our revenues decreased 19.8%9.3% over the firstsecond quarter of 2006. The number of vehicles delivered in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 was 18%10% lower than the number delivered in the firstsecond quarter of 2006. Revenue per vehicle delivered decreased $3.27 or 2.9%.was relatively flat quarter over quarter. Our operating resultsincome for the firstsecond quarter of 2007 were $6.8decreased $12.5 million lower thanfrom the firstsecond quarter of 2006 and our net lossincome increased $4.3$212 million. Our operating results were affected by the lower number of vehicles delivered quarter over quarter. The primary factors contributing to the increase in our net income were the gain on debt discharge realized on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and the fair value adjustments recorded for fresh-start reporting. To a lesser extent, the increase in net lossincome was also due to certain customer rate increases. These increases were partially offset by the lower volume of vehicles delivered which were partially offset by customer rate increases, a reductionand the shorter distances driven to deliver vehicles, and an increase in interest expense and lower workers’ compensation expense related primarily toreorganization costs, excluding the effect of lower premiums for 2007 coverage.favorable gains noted above. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of expense items to revenues:

Revenues
Revenues were $193.1$222.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 compared to revenues of $240.8$245.4 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2006, a decrease of 19.8%9.3%, or $47.7$22.9 million. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to a decline in the number of vehicles delivered by our Automotive Group as well as a decrease in revenue per vehicle delivered.Group.
The number of vehicles that we delivered declined by approximately 18%10% from 2,076,000 units in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 1,700,0001,873,000 units in the firstsecond quarter of 2007. This reduction was due primarily to a 12%6% decline in vehicle production by our three largest customers and, to a lesser extent, to the closure of certain terminal locations, in 2006 and fewer vehicles hauled for Toyota and Honda as a result of contract revisions.revisions and certain changes in customer and vehicle mix.
DuringRevenue per vehicle delivered by the firstAutomotive Group was relatively flat quarter of 2007,over quarter. Though revenue per vehicle delivered decreased by $3.27, or 2.9%, over the first quarter of 2006, primarilyincreased $1.44 as a result of a decrease incertain customer rate increases, $0.60 due to the average distance driven to deliver a vehicle, the weakeningstrengthening of the Canadian dollar a decrease in fuel surcharges and other factors$0.22 due to changes such as customer and vehicle mix. These decreasesmix, these increases were partially offset by certain customer rate increases.
During the first quarter of 2007,a 1.6% decrease in the average distance driven to deliver a vehicle, which we refer to as the “average length of haul,” decreased 2.8%, or $3.09that caused a decrease in revenue per vehicle delivered of $1.90 quarter over quarter and a reduction in fuel surcharge revenue of $0.52 per vehicle delivered. A portion of our revenues is based on the number of miles driven to deliver a vehicle, therefore, a decrease in the average length of haul decreases our revenue and revenue per unit. The average length of haul may fluctuate based on changes in the distribution patterns of our customers and how the vehicle deliveries are dispatched from our terminal locations.
During the firstsecond quarter of 2007, the Canadian dollar averaged the equivalent of U.S. $0.8537$0.9100 compared to U.S. $0.8662$0.8907 during the firstsecond quarter of 2006, which resulted in a decreasean increase in revenues of approximately $0.6$1.1 million. This factor contributed $0.37 to the overall decrease in revenue per unit of $3.27. However, the effect on operating income was partially offset by a corresponding decreaseincrease in expenses for our Canadian subsidiary related to the currency fluctuation.
During the firstsecond quarter of 2007, fuel surcharge revenue per vehicle delivered decreased $0.29, or 4%,$0.52 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Revenues from our fuel surcharge programs represent billings to our customers related to

34


the price of fuel in excess of certain levels established with those customers. The fuel surcharge programs mitigate, in

37


part, the rising cost of fuel by allowing us to pass on at least a portion of the increase to those customers who participate in the programs. Fuel surcharges received from customers vary primarily as a result of the changes in the average price of fuel and reset at varying intervals, which do not exceed one quarter, based on fuel prices in the applicable preceding time period. This results in a lag between the time period when fuel prices change and the time period when the fuel surcharge is adjusted. ThoughGenerally, fuel prices in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 were higher than fuel prices in the first quarter of 2006, fuel prices in the fourth quarter of 2006 were approximately 6.5% and 11% lower than fuel prices in the fourthsecond quarter of 2005 for our U.S. and Canadian operations, respectively.2006. However, due to the lag discussed above, fuel surcharge revenue would also be impacted by prices in previous quarters. Future revenues derived from fuel surcharges would be impacted if any customer terminated its fuel surcharge agreement with us.
During the Chapter 11 Proceedings, we renewed contracts with rate increases with certain of our major customers and estimate that our revenues increased by approximately $2.4 million, or $1.42, per unit in the first quarter of 2007 over the first quarter of 2006 as a result of changes in customer pricing.
Our revenues are variable and can be impacted by changes in OEM production levels, especially sudden unexpected or unanticipated changes in production schedules, changes in distribution patterns, product type, product mix, product design or the weight or configuration of vehicles transported by our Automotive Group. As an example, our revenues were adversely affected by recent decisions announced by General Motors and Ford to close certain manufacturing plants in the future and the recent decisions by General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to further reduce production at several of theirits manufacturing plants.
In addition, our revenues are seasonal, with the second and fourth quarters generally experiencing higher revenues than the first and third quarters as a result of the higher volume of vehicles shipped. The volume of vehicles shipped is generally higher during the second quarter as North American light vehicle production has historically been at its highest level during this quarter due to higher consumer sales of automobiles, light trucks and SUVs in the spring and early summer. The introduction of new models in the fall of each year combined with the manufacturers’ motivation to ship vehicles before calendar year-end, increase shipments to dealers through the fourth quarter. During the first and third quarters, vehicle shipments typically decline due to lower production volume during those periods. The third quarter volume does benefit from the introduction of new models, but the net volume for the quarter is typically lower than the second and fourth quarters due to the scheduled OEM plant shutdowns, which generally occur early in the third quarter. The first quarter volume is negatively impacted by the holiday shutdown in December of each year and the relatively low inventory of vehicles to ship as a result of maximizing shipments at the end of the year. However, given the unpredictable nature of consumer sentiment and our customers’ emphasis on more effective use of plant capacity, particularly at General Motors, Ford and Chrysler (our Automotive Group’s three largest customers), there can be no assurance that historical revenue patterns or manufacturer production levels will be an accurate indicator of future OEM shipment activity. Delivery activity at the Automotive Group and the Axis Group can also be impacted by the availability of rail cars, rail transportation schedules or changes in customer service demands. As a result of these and other factors, our operating results for the three months ended March 31,first and second quarters of 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits decreased $25.1$5.5 million, or 20.0%4.8%, in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of the following:
The decrease in the number of vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006, which resulted in a decrease in bargaining wages and benefits of approximately $18.4 million. Driver pay is based primarily on the number of miles driven to deliver vehicles and is affected by changes in revenue related to changes in volume.
Lower workers’ compensation expense of $5.8 million due primarily to the effect of lower premiums for 2007 coverage and to a lesser extent, favorable development of claims from prior years of $1.0 million; and
A reduction in non-bargaining salaries and benefits of $1.3 million due primarily to a 5.9% reduction in the average number of employees and lower costs for employee medical claims in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006.
The decrease in the number of vehicles delivered in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006, which resulted in a decrease in bargaining wages and benefits of approximately $8.9 million. Driver pay is based primarily on the number of miles driven to deliver vehicles and is affected by changes in revenue related to changes in volume.
Lower workers’ compensation expense of $3.4 million due to the effect of lower premiums for 2007 coverage.
As a percentage of revenues, salaries, wages and fringe benefits decreasedincreased from 52.2%46.8% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 52.1%49.2% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2007, primarily as a result of the decreasean increase in workers’ compensation expense,labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements and an increase in non-bargaining salaries. These increases were partially offset by certain fixedthe lower workers’ compensation expense.
Though labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements decreased primarily as a result of the lower volume, labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements increased from 37.3% of revenues to 39.9% of revenues primarily as a result of a 7.6% increase in labor cost components included in salaries, wages and fringe benefits that do not fluctuate directly with revenues.per vehicle delivered, or $6.3 million. This increase

3538


was due primarily to the wage and cost of living increases that took effect on July 1, 2006, the effect of the retroactive payments for our Teamster-represented employees in Eastern Canada of approximately $1.2 million recorded in June 2007, as well as a 10% reduction in wages earned by bargaining employees in May and June 2006 that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court to address a short-term liquidity shortfall in those months.
Salaries related to our non-bargaining employees increased from 4.5% of revenues to 5.3% of revenues primarily as a result of the unpaid furloughs that took effect in May and June 2006. As disclosed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, those employees with annual salaries of less than $80,000 were required to accept a five-day unpaid furlough during the month of June 2006 and those with annual salaries of $80,000 or more were required to accept ten days of unpaid furlough by June 2006. Non-bargaining salaries and benefits increased approximately $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 and the unpaid furloughs affected non-bargaining labor costs in the second quarter of 2006 by approximately $1.0 million. The impact of the furloughs was partially offset by a 4.6% reduction in headcount.
Operating supplies and expenses
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 20.2%20.5% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 22.3%21.5% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2007. This increase was due primarily to certain fixed costs included in operating supplies and expenses, such as outsourcing costs related to the maintenance of our computer equipment and certain other maintenance costs related to our terminal operations, which are not directly affected by fluctuations in revenue.
Fuel expense increased from 8.6%9.5% of our Automotive Group’s revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 9.2%9.8% of our Automotive Group’s revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2007. For our U.S. operations2007 due to a 0.7% increase in the average price of fuel was approximately 1.8% higherto us in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 thancompared to the firstsecond quarter of 2006, and for our Canadian operations the average price of fuel was flat quarter over quarter.2006. The fuel surcharge agreements that we have in place with substantially all of our customers mitigate, in part, the unfavorable impact on our operating income resulting from increases in fuel prices. However, due to the lag between when fuel prices change and the time period when the fuel surcharge is adjusted, there was a net unfavorable impact, net of broker participation, quarter over quarter of approximately $1.1$1.3 million on our operating loss.income. The difference between the increase in fuel expense resulting from higher fuel prices and the amount of fuel surcharge received from customers during any quarter is due to the timing difference described above in the revenue section.
Overall, operating supplies and expenses decreased $5.5$2.4 million, or 11.4%4.8%, in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of:
A decrease of $3.0
A decrease of $1.7 million in fuel expense due primarily to the lower number of vehicles delivered, partially offset by an increase in the average price of fuel. We estimate that the lower number of vehicles delivered resulted in a reduction in fuel expense of approximately $3.7 million which was partially offset by approximately $0.7 million due to the increase in the price of fuel; and
A decrease of $2.8 million in repairs and maintenance primarily as a result of the lower number of miles driven to deliver vehicles.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in various other general operating suppliesthe average price of fuel to us. We estimate that the lower number of vehicles delivered resulted in a reduction in fuel expense of $1.9 million which was partially offset by approximately $0.2 million due to the increase in the price of fuel to us. Though fuel prices in the second quarter of 2007 were generally lower than fuel prices in the second quarter of 2006, the cost of fuel to us was higher due to factors such as the volume purchased prior to the reduction in prices as well as the location of purchase.
A decrease of $0.5 million in repairs and expenses.maintenance primarily as a result of the lower number of miles driven to deliver vehicles, partially offset by an increase in the frequency and nature of vehicle repairs; and
A decrease of $0.3 million in the costs of tolls and motels as a result of the decrease in the number of miles driven and vehicles delivered.
Purchased transportation
Purchased transportation expense primarily represents the cost to our Automotive Group of utilizing Teamster represented owner-operators of Rigs who receive a percentage of the revenue they generate from transporting vehicles on our behalf as well as certain fringe benefit payments. Fuel surcharge revenue and customer rate increases derived from deliveries by owner-operators are reimbursed to the owner-operator and recorded in purchased transportation. Purchased transportation as a percentage of revenues decreased from 12.8%13.3% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 11.9% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 and purchased transportation expense decreased by $8.0$6.2 million, or 25.9%18.8%, quarter over quarter. The decrease in purchased transportation expense was

39


due primarily to a 12.6%6.5% reduction in the number of vehicles delivered by owner-operators on our behalf, as well as a decrease of approximately 11.9%9.4% in the average length of haul for those vehicle deliveries. While the Automotive Group’s average length of haul decreased only 2.8%1.6% in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 overcompared to the firstsecond quarter of 2006, deliveries over the shorter distance were primarily made by our owner-operators with our employee drivers making the deliveries over the longer distance. Purchased transportation as a percentage of revenues may fluctuate based on changes in the distribution patterns of our customers and how the vehicle deliveries are dispatched from our terminal locations.
Insurance and claims
Insurance and claims expense increased from 4.5%4.2% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 4.6%4.7% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2007. The actual expense decreased $2.0 million primarily as a result of the lower expense associated with the lower number ofwas relatively flat quarter over quarter. Though fewer miles were driven in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2006.2006, the impact of the reduced miles was offset by higher insurance premiums and higher loss rates. As a percentage of revenues, insurance and claims expense increased due in part to the decrease in revenues associated with the decrease in revenue per unit, which does not causehigher insurance premiums and claims expense to vary.

36


Operating taxes and licenses
Operating taxes and licenses primarily represent taxes on fuel purchased for our tractors and trailers and include license renewal fees. The taxes vary based on fuel purchases while the license renewal fees are primarily fixed. The actual operating taxes and license expense decreased $1.0 million, primarily as a result of the lower fuel consumption in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. However, as a percentage of revenues, operating taxes and licenses increased from 3.2% to 3.5% due to the fixed cost components that do not fluctuate with revenue.higher loss rates.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.6$2.0 million from 3.0% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to 4.0%4.2% of revenues in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 due to increases in capital spending related to our fleet of Rigs and an increase in 2006the carrying amount of property and equipment of the first quarterSuccessor due to revaluation adjustments recorded pursuant to SOP 90-7 on the application of 2007.fresh-start reporting as of the fresh-start reporting date. During 2006, capital expenditures were approximately $35.8$35.6 million, an increase of $16.4 million over the amount invested in 2005. For2005 and for the first quarter ofsix months June 30, 2007, capital expenditures were $11.6$32.0 million. The majority of our capital expenditures are related to our fleet of Rigs.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses increased from 0.8% of revenues in the second quarter of 2006 to 1.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 2007. The actual expense increased $1.3 million primarily as a result of an increase in professional services related to auditing and tax as well as certain post-emergence expenses related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Though we emerged from Chapter 11 effective May 29, 2007, we continue to incur certain expenses related to the bankruptcy filing. All such expenses incurred subsequent to the emergence date are included in operations. Those expenses prior to the emergence date are included in reorganization items. For the one-month period ended June 30, 2007, the amount of such expenses included in other operating expenses was approximately $620,000.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreasedincreased from $9.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to $7.6$16.1 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2007. This reduction was primarily a result ofFactors causing the expense to be higher include the following:
 LowerThe equity value received by Yucaipa and the other participants in the Rig Financing exceeded the carrying amount of the Rig Financing by $6.3 million, which was recognized as interest expense;
Higher amortization of deferred financing costs inof $0.9 million, principally the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. Primarily as a result of the first quarter 2006 accelerateda shorter amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Original DIP Facility, deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2007 were $3.5 million lower than the first quarter of 2006. In March 2006, the amortization period (six months) for the deferred financing costs related to the OriginalNew DIP Facility which was revisedentered into at the end of March 2007 and which was scheduled to end on the extended date of the forbearance period, May 18, 2006. Previously, themature in September 2007, as well as higher deferred financing costs were being amortized through the original maturity date, February 2, 2007.
Lower interest of $0.5 million related to insurance financing arrangements as a result of lower insurance borrowings in 2007the New DIP Facility compared to 2006.
The reductions above were offset by the following:
A prepayment penalty of $1.1 million, incurred during the first quarter of 2007, in respect of the Original DIP Facility;
Lender fees of approximately $0.6 million incurred during the first quarter of 2007,deferred financing costs related to the Original DIP Facility; and
 
 An increase in the average outstanding debt in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. The average outstanding debt increased by $70.3 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006, which resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $1.7 million.
The effect of the factors above were partially offset by the following:

A decrease in the effective interest rate. Average interest rates were approximately 0.95 percentage points higher3.9% lower in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 compared toversus the firstsecond quarter of 2006 resulting in additionala decrease in interest expense of approximately $0.4 million.$1.5 million; and
Lender fees of approximately $0.8 million incurred in the second quarter of 2006 related to forbearance agreements negotiated in that quarter in relation to the Original DIP Facility.
Investment income
Investment income increased from $1.0$1.2 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2006 to $1.2$1.5 million in the firstsecond quarter of 2007 due primarily to an increase in interest rates on time deposits. The weighted-averagedeposits as well as interest rateearned on repurchase agreements in 2007.

Foreign exchange gains, net
Foreign exchange gains, net were $4.5 million in the average balancesecond quarter of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits2007 compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2006. This fluctuation was due primarily to the reduced amount requiredeffect of changes in the U.S. and Canadian currency exchange rates on the intercompany payable balance denominated in U.S dollars recorded on one of our Canadian subsidiary’s balance sheet. The Canadian dollar was stronger relative to collateralize lettersthe U.S. dollar at the end of credit relatedboth the second quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2006 than at the beginning of the respective quarters, thereby causing gains on the intercompany payable in both quarters. However, the exchange rate increase in the second quarter of 2007, 9.1%, was more than the rate of increase in the second quarter of 2006, 4.2%, thereby causing a higher gain in the second quarter of 2007 compared to insurance liabilities.the gain recorded in the second quarter of 2006.

Reorganization items
ReorganizationWe reported a gain on reorganization items represent costs related toof $236.7 million in the Chapter 11 Proceedings. These costs, which were flatsecond quarter overof 2007 and reorganization expenses of $4.7 million in the second quarter represent primarily legal and professional services rendered in connection with our Chapter 11 filing. These costs are summarizedof 2006. As more fully discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.Statements, the gain on reorganization items for the second quarter of 2007 primarily represents the gain on debt discharge of $120.8 million, and $131.9 million related to fair value adjustments for fresh-start reporting, which were partially offset by $16.5 million of other costs related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings, primarily legal and professional fees. Reorganization items for the second quarter of 2006 primarily represents legal and professional fees related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. The component of reorganization items related to professional fees increased in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 due to the following:
Bankruptcy court-approved fees of approximately $6.6 million incurred in May 2007 to Yucaipa for their substantial contribution to the development of the Joint Plan;
Higher fees for legal and reorganization consulting services incurred to comply with the Joint Plan; and
Severance of $1.1 million paid to the Company’s former CEO.
Income taxes
In the firstsecond quarter of 2007 and 2006, we recognized income tax expensesexpense of $195,000$13.4 million and $127,000,$63,000, respectively. The income tax expense in both quarters differed from the amount computed by applying statutory rates to the reported income before income taxes. The expected tax expense is offset by the reversal of associated valuation allowances in most cases. For both periods, we recognized tax expenses related to foreign jurisdictions where a valuation allowance is not required. In addition, we recognized tax expense during the two months ended May 31, 2007 since the effects of the Joint Plan created deferred tax liabilities for which the timing of the reversal is indefinite. The reversal of those items is not available to offset against deferred tax assets. As a result, an additional valuation allowance was required. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, no expense was recognized related to the income before income taxes, except for the amount related to foreign jurisdictions, since we reported a year-to-date loss before income taxes sinceand no benefit was recognized for the loss before income taxes in the first quarter of 2006.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our revenues decreased 14.5% over the six months ended June 30, 2006. The number of vehicles delivered in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was 14% lower than the number delivered in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and revenue per vehicle delivered was relatively flat. Our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $19.3 million lower than the six months ended June 30, 2006 and our net income increased $207.7 million for the same period. Our operating results were affected by the lower number of vehicles delivered. The primary factors contributing to the increase in our net income were the gain on debt discharge realized on the settlement of liabilities subject to compromise and the fair value adjustments recorded for fresh-start reporting. To a lesser extent, the increase in net income was also due to certain customer rate increases. These increases were partially offset by the lower volume of vehicles delivered and the shorter distances driven to deliver vehicles, and an increase in interest expense and reorganization costs, excluding the effect of favorable gains noted above. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of expense items to revenues:

Revenues
Revenues were $415.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to revenues of $486.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of 14.5%, or $70.6 million. The decrease in revenues was due primarily to a decline in the number of vehicles delivered by our Automotive Group.
The number of vehicles that we diddelivered declined by approximately 14% from 4,152,000 units in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 3,573,000 units in the six months ended June 30, 2007. This reduction was due primarily to a 9% decline in vehicle production by our three largest customers and, to a lesser extent, to the closure of certain terminal locations, fewer vehicles hauled for Toyota and Honda as a result of contract revisions and certain changes in customer and vehicle mix.
Also contributing to the decline in revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 was a $1.57 decrease, or 1.4% decrease, in revenue per vehicle delivered by the Automotive Group. Though revenue per vehicle delivered increased $1.43 as a result of certain customer rate increases and $0.10 due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, these increases were offset by a 2.2% decrease in the average

42


length of haul that caused a decrease in revenue per vehicle delivered of $2.48 period over period, a reduction in fuel surcharge revenue of $0.38 per vehicle delivered and a reduction of $0.24 due to changes such as customer mix.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Canadian dollar averaged the equivalent of U.S. $0.8820 compared to U.S. $0.8786 during the six months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in an increase in revenues of approximately $0.4 million. However, the effect on operating income was partially offset by a corresponding increase in expenses for our Canadian subsidiary related to the currency fluctuation.
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits decreased $30.6 million, or 12.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of the following:
The decrease in the number of vehicles delivered in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in a decrease in bargaining wages and benefits of approximately $26.9 million.
Lower workers’ compensation expense of $9.1 million due to the effect of lower premiums for 2007 coverage; and
A reduction in non-bargaining salaries and benefits of $0.6 million due primarily to a 5.2% reduction in the average head count for the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus the six months ended June 30, 2006 and lower costs for employee medical claims, partially offset by the unpaid furloughs discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison.
As a percentage of revenues, salaries, wages and fringe benefits increased from 49.5% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 50.5% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of increased labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements and an increase in non-bargaining salaries. These increases were partially offset by the lower workers’ compensation expense.
Though labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements decreased primarily as a result of the lower volume, labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements increased from 39.7% of revenues to 41.5% of revenues primarily as a result of a 3.7% increase in labor cost per vehicle delivered or $6.2 million. This increase was due primarily to the wage and cost of living increases that took effect on July 1, 2006, the effect of the retroactive payments for our Teamster-represented employees in Eastern Canada of approximately $1.2 million recorded in June 2007, as well as a 10% reduction in wages earned by bargaining employees in May and June 2006 that was approved by the Bankruptcy Court to address a short-term liquidity shortfall in those months.
Salaries related to our non-bargaining employees increased from 4.8% of revenues to 5.5% of revenues primarily as a result of the unpaid furloughs that took effect in May and June 2006 and the decrease in revenues.
Operating supplies and expenses
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 20.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 21.9% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was due primarily to certain fixed costs included in operating supplies and expenses, such as outsourcing costs related to the maintenance of our computer equipment and certain other maintenance costs related to our terminal operations, which are not meetdirectly affected by fluctuations in revenue.
Fuel expense increased from 9.2% of our Automotive Group’s revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 9.7% of our Automotive Group’s revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to a 3.6% increase in the average price of fuel to us in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. The fuel surcharge agreements that we have in place with substantially all of our customers mitigate, in part, the unfavorable impact on our operating income resulting from increases in fuel prices. However, due to the lag between when fuel prices change and the time period when the fuel surcharge is adjusted, there was a net unfavorable impact, net of broker participation, period over period of approximately $2.5 million on our operating income. The difference between the increase in fuel expense resulting from higher fuel prices and the amount of fuel surcharge received from customers during any quarter is due to the timing difference described above in the revenue section.

43


Overall, operating supplies and expenses decreased $8.0 million, or 8.1%, in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of:
A decrease of $4.8 million in fuel expense due primarily to the lower number of vehicles delivered, partially offset by an increase in the average price of fuel to us. We estimate that the lower number of vehicles delivered resulted in a reduction in fuel expense of $6.1 million which was partially offset by approximately $1.3 million due to the increase in the price of fuel to us. Though fuel prices in the six months ended June 30, 2007 were lower than fuel prices in the six months ended June 30, 2006 for both our U.S and Canadian operations, the cost of fuel to us was higher due to factors such as the volume purchased prior to the reduction in prices as well as the location of purchase.
A decrease of $3.4 million in repairs and maintenance primarily as a result of the lower number of miles driven to deliver vehicles.
A decrease of $1.0 million in the costs of tolls, travel and meals as a result of the decrease in the number of miles driven and vehicles delivered.
The above decreases were partially offset by other increases of approximately $1.3 million due to the accrual for additional claims arising out of the claims reconciliation process and other general expenses.
Purchased transportation
Purchased transportation as a percentage of revenues decreased from 13.1% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 11.9% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and purchased transportation expense decreased by $14.2 million, or 22.3%, period over period. The decrease in purchased transportation expense was due primarily to a 9.5% reduction in the number of vehicles delivered by owner-operators on our behalf, as well as a decrease of approximately 10.6% in the average length of haul for those vehicle deliveries. While the Automotive Group’s average length of haul decreased only 2.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 over the six months ended June 30, 2006, deliveries over the shorter distance were primarily made by our owner-operators with our employee drivers making the deliveries over the longer distance.
Insurance and claims
Insurance and claims expense increased from 4.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 4.7% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The actual expense decreased $1.8 million as a result of the lower number of miles driven to deliver vehicles in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, partially offset by higher insurance premiums and higher loss rates. As a percentage of revenues, insurance and claims expense increased due in part to the higher insurance premiums and higher loss rates.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.6 million from 3.0% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 4.1% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The factors contributing to this increase are discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison above.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses increased from 0.8% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to 1.3% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2007. The actual expense increased $1.4 million. The factors contributing to this increase are discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison above.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased from $19.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $23.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
The increase was due primarily to the following:

44


The equity value received by Yucaipa and the other participants in the Rig Financing exceeded the carrying amount of the Rig Financing by $6.3 million, which was recognized as interest expense;
An increase in the average outstanding debt during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average outstanding debt increased by $36.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, which resulted in additional interest expense of approximately $2.0 million;
A prepayment penalty of $1.1 million, incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007, related to the Original DIP Facility; and
Legal and other fees of approximately $0.6 million incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2007 related to the repayment of the Original DIP Facility and entering into the New DIP Facility.
However, the factors above were partially offset by the following:
A decrease in the effective interest rate — average interest rates were approximately 1.7% lower in the six months ended June 30, 2007 versus the six months ended June 30, 2006 resulting in a decrease in interest expense of approximately $1.3 million;
Lender fees of $0.8 million incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to forbearance agreements negotiated in that period in relation to the Original DIP Facility;
Lower interest of $0.8 million related to insurance financing arrangements as a result of lower insurance borrowings in 2007 compared to 2006; and
Lower amortization of deferred financing costs of $2.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This was due to the revision in March 2006 of the end of the amortization period of the deferred financing costs related to the Original DIP Facility from February 2, 2007, the original maturity date, to May 18, 2006, the end of the forbearance period for certain covenant violations that had occurred. The effect of this revision on interest expense, period over period was partially offset by the effect of the shorter amortization period used to amortize the deferred financing costs related to the New DIP Facility in the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Investment income
Investment income increased from $2.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 to $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to an increase in interest rates on time deposits as well as interest earned on repurchase agreements. Average interest rates on time deposits were approximately 5.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 4.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest earned on repurchase agreements, entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $0.3 million. We had no repurchase agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Foreign exchange gains, net
Foreign exchange gains, net were $4.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This fluctuation was due primarily to the effect of changes in the US and Canadian currency exchange rates on the intercompany payable balance denominated in U.S dollars recorded on one of our Canadian subsidiary’s balance sheet. The Canadian dollar was stronger relative to the U.S. dollar at the end of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and also at the six months ended June 30, 2006 than at the beginning of these respective periods thereby causing gains on the intercompany payable for both periods. However, the exchange rate increase of 10.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2007 was more likely than not criteriathe rate of increase of 4.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2006, thereby causing a higher gain in the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to recognize the gain recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

45


Reorganization items
We reported a gain on reorganization items of $233.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and reorganization expenses of $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The factors affecting reorganization items are discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison above.
Income taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized income tax benefitsexpense of losses$13.6 million and $190,000, respectively. The income tax expense in both periods differed from the amount computed by applying statutory rates to the reported income (loss) before income taxes. The expected tax expense in 2007 is offset by the reversal of associated valuation allowances in most of our jurisdictions.cases. The loss before income taxes in 2006 generated deferred tax assets for which we increased the valuation allowance. For both periods, we recognized tax expenses related to foreign jurisdictions where thea valuation allowance is not required. In addition, we recognized tax expense during the two months ended May 31, 2007 since the effects of the Joint Plan created deferred tax liabilities for which the timing of the reversal is indefinite. The reversal of those items is not available to offset against deferred tax assets. As a result, an additional valuation allowance was required.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and borrowings from our lenders. We also periodically borrow under insurance financing arrangements to fund our insurance programs. We use our cash primarily for the purchase, remanufacture and maintenance of our Rigs and terminal facilities, the payment of operating expenses, the servicing of our debt, the funding of other capital purchases, and during the Chapter 11 Proceedings, to pay legal and professional fees related toof the Chapter 11 Proceedings.Predecessor. We use restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits to collateralize letters of credit required by third-party insurance carriers. These collateral assets are not available for our general use in operations. During the Chapter 11 Proceedings, we obtained debtor-in-possession financing which allowed us to continue to operate in the normal course of business during the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Funds were available to help satisfy our working capital obligations, including payment under normal terms for goods and services provided after the Petition Date, payment of wages and benefits to active employees and retirees and other items approved by the Bankruptcy Court. As more fully discussed in Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” the debtor-in-possession financing was converted to senior secured credit facilities that served as our exit financing upon our emergence from Chapter 11. We believe that funds from operations and borrowings available under the senior secured credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs within the next twelve months.
Operating Activities
We use the indirect method to prepare our statement of cash flows. Accordingly, we compute net cash provided by operating activities by adjusting the net lossincome (loss) for all items included in the net lossincome (loss) that do not currently affect operating cash receipts and payments. Cash provided by operating activities was $5.6$0.5 million for the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $13.1$38.0 million for the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease in operating cash flows of $7.5$37.5 million. This decrease in cash from operating activities was primarily due to the unfavorable operating performance compared to the prior quarter. Lessperiod. Also, less cash was collected from our customers and payments for reorganization items and insurance were also higher. These items were partially offset by lower payments for interest and certain operating expenditures.
Investing Activities
During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007, we used $10.5$31.4 million in investing activities compared to $4.7$9.8 million during the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in capital spending on our fleet. Capital expenditures for the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007 were $11.6$32.0 million compared to $6.2$12.6 million in the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006, most of which was spent on our fleet of Rigs. During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007, we purchased 5576 new tractors and 545 new trailers. We also remanufactured 3856 tractors and 5392 trailers and replaced approximately 78198 engines. During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006, we purchased no6 new tractors or trailers butand one trailer and remanufactured 45102 tractors and 70120 trailers and replaced approximately 105171 engines.

During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an agreement with Yucaipa pursuant to which Yucaipa would purchase the Blue Thunder Rigs, which were then to be sold to us at cost. The Rig Financing, which was provided by Yucaipa, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on April 6, 2007. The Rig Financing of $15 million was completed prior to the Effective Date and included funds to retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs, and to pay certain costs and expenses associated with the purchase, such as registration expenses. The notes under the Rig Financing bore interest at LIBOR plus 4%, payable in-kind quarterly by addition to principal. Pursuant to this agreement, we purchased 170 Rigs from Yucaipa during the second quarter of 2007 for

38


$13.5 $13.5 million and upon our emergence from Chapter 11, the $15.1 million related toYucaipa converted the Rig Financing was converted toof $15.1 million into new equity of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc.our company. Of the $15.1 million, $0.1 million represented interest, $13.5 million represented the purchase cost of the Rigs, $0.3 million was used to pay certain costs associated with the purchase $0.1 million represented interest, andwhile the reminder was received by us to retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs. As stipulated in the Rig Financing agreement, Yucaipa received a percentage of the new equity of Allied, Systems Holdings, Inc., with the numerator equal to the amount owed under the Rig Financing, including interest, and the denominator equal to $285 million minus debt, exclusive of the Rig Financing, plus cash on the Effective Date, after giving effect to the Joint Plan.

Financing activities provided us with $30.8$52.1 million during the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007 while we used $9.5$28.3 million in financing activities during the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in net cash flow provided by financing activities was due primarily to the following factors:
  Net borrowings under our credit facilities were approximately $40.6$64.7 million in the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007. In the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006, we had net repayments of $1.5$9.1 million under the then revolving credit facility;
 
  During the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007, the repayments under insurance financing arrangements were $6.6$15.4 million lower than the repayments during the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2006 since more premiums were financed for the 2006 coverage; and
 
  In the first quarter ofsix months ended June 30, 2007, we paid financing costs of $8.1$8.6 million related to the New DIP Facility, partially offsetting the other increases.
Debt and Letters of Credit
As more fully discussed in Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements,” in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, effective May 29, 2007, our New DIP Facilitydebtor-in-possession financing was converted to the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities that serve as our exit financing. The First Lien Facility will mature five years after the Effective Date and the Second Lien Facility will mature five and a half years after the Effective Date.
Amounts outstanding under the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities will bear interest at the following annual rates:
 First Lien Term Loan Facility — At our option, either the Base Rate (which is equal to the greater of the prime rate as published from time to time inThe Wall Street Journalor the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%) plus 3.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.0%;
Second Lien Term Loan Facility — At our option, either the Base Rate plus 6.5%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%; and
First Lien Revolver — At our option, either the Base Rate plus 1.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0%.
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007 we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our Secured Credit Facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under those facilities at the date of the conversion. Future results of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap agreements.
Second Lien Term Loan Facility — At our option, either the Base Rate plus 6.5%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%; and
First Lien Revolver — At our option, either the Base Rate plus 1.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0%.
As of June 30, 2007, the weighted-average interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan Facility and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility was 10.1%.
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our senior secured credit facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under those facilities as of the date of the conversion beginning no later than 90 days after the date of conversion. Future results of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap agreements.

In addition, among the fees we will be charged under the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities are the following: (A) a credit fee pursuant to the Letter of Credit Facility equal to the Adjustedreserve-adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.15% per annum times the average daily amount deposited by the lenders under the Letter of Credit Facility; (B) a commitment fee of 1.75% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the First Lien Term Loan Facility; (C) a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the First Lien Revolver; and (D) a fronting fee under the Letter of Credit Facility of 0.55% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. As of March 31,June 30, 2007, $205$230 million was outstanding under the term loans. On May 11, 2007, the remainingloans of which $25 million was drawn under the term loanon May 11, 2007 and the excess cash was invested in REPOs. As of September 28,November 9, 2007, we had $32$31 million available under the First Lien Revolver.

39


As of March 31,September 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facility but can provide no assurance that we will be able to comply with these covenants or, if we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain amendments or waivers of such covenants.
We also have a Canadian Revolver, which bears interest at the bank’s prime lending rate plus 0.5% and is secured by a letter of credit of $2.6 million, which is included in the $49.8$40.9 million of outstanding letters of credit discussed below. As of March 31,June 30, 2007, $0.4 millionnothing was outstanding on the Canadian Revolver. However, as of September 28, 2007, there were no borrowings on the Canadian Revolver.
As holders of allowed general unsecured claims, holders of the Senior Notes received new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis in exchange for the cancellation of the debt pursuant to the Joint Plan as of the Effective Date.
We renew our letters of credit annually. At March 31,June 30, 2007, we had issued $139.8$139.3 million of outstanding letters of credit to third parties related primarily to the settlement of insurance liabilitiesclaims and reserves and support for a line of credit at one of our foreign subsidiaries. Of the $139.8$139.3 million, outstanding at March 31, 2007, $42.0$40.9 million of these letters of credit were secured by availability under the New DIP Revolver and $97.8$98.4 million were issued by our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, and were collateralized by $97.8$98.4 million of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits held by this subsidiary.
The amount of letters of credit that we may issue under the First Lien Revolver included in the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities may not exceed $50 million. As of September 28,November 9, 2007, we had utilized $40.0$42.4 million of this availability and had $10.0$7.6 million available. See Note 11 for a discussion of the current letter of credit facilities under the Secured Credit Facilities.senior secured credit facilities.
Contractual Obligations
The following significant changes to the contractual obligations disclosed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K have occurred:
The Original DIP Facility was replaced by the New DIP Facility, which was later restructured and converted to senior secured credit facilities upon our emergence from Chapter 11. See Note 11 for further discussion of these facilities.
As holders of allowed general unsecured claims, holders of the Senior Notes are entitled to receive new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis in exchange for the cancellation of the debt pursuant to the Joint Plan as of the Effective Date.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Between January 1, 2007 and September 28,November 9, 2007, we entered into no new significant off-balance sheet arrangements. See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2006.
Disclosures About Market Risks
We face several risks, some of which we discuss in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The primary market risks inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions are the potential loss arising from adverse changes in fuel prices, interest rates, losses related to retained risks and foreign currency exchange rates.
Fuel Prices

48


Our Automotive Group is dependent on diesel fuel to operate its fleet of Rigs. Diesel fuel prices are subject to fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as the weather, government policies and changes in global demand and global production. To reduce the price risk caused by market fluctuations, our Automotive Group periodically purchases fuel in advance of consumption. A 10% increase in diesel fuel prices over the average price of diesel fuel for the 12 months ended March 31,June 30, 2007 would increase costs by $9.4$9.2 million over the next 12 months assuming levels of fuel consumption in the next 12 months are consistent with levels of fuel consumed during the 12 months ended March 31,June 30, 2007. At least a portion of this increase in costs could be recovered by our fuel surcharge arrangements with our customers. Currently, we have in place fuel surcharge agreements with substantially all of our customers. In periods of rising fuel prices and declining vehicle deliveries, we may not recover all of the fuel price increase through our fuel surcharge programs since fuel surcharges reset at varying intervals, which do not exceed one quarter, based on fuel prices in the applicable preceding time period.
Interest Rates
We enter into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including capital expenditures and working capital needs. As of March 31,June 30, 2007, we had $205.0$230 million outstanding under the New DIP Facilitysenior secured credit facilities subject to variable rates of interest. As discussed previously, the New DIP Facility was subsequently restructured and converted to exit financing. See “Debt and Letters of Credit” above for a discussion of the Secured Credit Facilities’

40


senior secured credit facilities’ interest rates, which remainare variable. Based on the outstanding balance of the New DIP Facilitysenior secured credit facilities as of March 31,June 30, 2007, the impact of a three-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $6.2$6.9 million.
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under those facilities atas of the date of the conversion beginning no later than 90 days after the date of conversion. Future results of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap agreements.
Risk Management Retention
As more fully discussed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we retain losses for certain risks within certain limits through high deductibles or self-insured retentions. For certain risks, coverage for losses is provided by unrelated primary and reinsurance companies unrelated to our company (“third-party insurance carriers”). Our coverage is based on the date that a claim is incurred. Haul Insurance Limited, our captive insurance subsidiary, provides reinsurance coverage to certain of our third-party insurance carriers for certain types of losses for certain years within our insurance program, primarily insured workers’ compensation, automobile and general liability risks. In states where we are insured for workers’ compensation claims, the majority of our risk in 2007 and 2006 is covered by a fully insured program with no deductible.
We are also required to provide collateral to our third-party insurance carriers and various states for losses in respect of worker injuries, accident, theft, and other loss claims. For this purpose, we utilize cash and/or letters of credit. To reduce our risks in these areas as well as the letter of credit or underlying collateral requirements, we have implemented various risk management programs. However, we can provide no assurance that the current letter of credit requirements will be reduced nor can we provide assurance that these letter of credit requirements will not increase.
Because we retain liability for a significant portion of our risks, an increase in the number or severity of accidents, on the job injuries, other loss events over those anticipated, or adverse development of existing claims including wage and medical cost inflation could have a material adverse effect on our profitability. While we currently have insurance coverage for claims above our retention levels, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Though we operate primarily in the U.S., we own foreign subsidiaries, the most significant being Allied Systems (Canada) Company. The net investment in our foreign subsidiaries translated into U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange in effect at March 31,June 30, 2007, was $40.7$58.2 million. The potential impact on other comprehensive income resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates approximates $4.1$5.8 million.

49


At March 31,June 30, 2007, we had an intercompany payable balance of $46.9$58.4 million denominated in U.S. dollars recorded on our Canadian subsidiary’s balance sheet. The potential impact from a hypothetical 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates related to this balance would be a $4.7$5.8 million charge or credit to the statement of operations. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Inflation
While we may have been subject to some measure of inflation, we do not believe that this has impacted our results significantly. In addition, it would be difficult to isolate such effects on our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. GAAP requires us to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors we consider relevant to the

41


circumstances. Such decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which impact reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in future economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of our estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those anticipated.
A summary of the significant accounting policies that we follow in the preparation of our financial statements as well as footnotes describing various elements of the financial statements and the assumptions on which specific amounts were determined, are included in our consolidated financial statements included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K,10-K. As of the fresh-start reporting date, we added the accounting policy related to Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets to the list of those that we consider to be critical accounting policies. The adoption of fresh-start reporting also impacted our accounting policy related to property and equipment. The critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates, related to property and equipment and Goodwill and other Intangible Assets are discussed in Notes 6 and 7, respectively, to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”
Other critical accounting estimates made at the fresh-start reporting date are discussed in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in “Item 1. Financial Statements.”
Except as referred to above, we believe that no material changes have occurred with respect to our critical accounting policies and estimateestimates since the filing of that report, except for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes —We adopted the provisions of FIN 48our 2006 Annual Report on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We undertook a comprehensive review of our tax positions, and the cumulative effect of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 to all tax positions resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $1.2 million as of January 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $7.0 million, and interest and penalties were $0.9 million. Included in the total unrecognized benefits at January 1, 2007, are $1.4 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rates in future periods. For certain uncertain tax positions it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months as a result of the effects of our emergence from Chapter 11 or the settlement of audits that may be initiated.
The determination as to whether a tax position meets the recognition threshold requires significant judgment as it relates to whether, based on the technical merits, the position would be sustained upon examination. Additional judgment is required to determine, for those tax positions that meet the recognition threshold, the amount of tax benefit that can be recognized, which is specified in FIN 48 as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. To make those determinations, we consider the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date.
For certain uncertain tax positions it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months as a result of the effects of our emergence from Chapter 11 or the settlement of audits that may be initiated.Form 10-K.

Factors Which May Affect Future Results
Our business is subject to certain risks, including the risks set forth in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Readers of this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q should take such risks into account in evaluating any investment decision involving our securities. More detailed information concerning these and other risks is contained in other sections of this Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q and our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other materials we file with the SEC or otherwise make public. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance and demand for our services, and other statements of our plans, beliefs, or expectations are forward-looking

50


statements. In some cases these statements are identifiable through the use of words such as “anticipate,” “believe,”

42


“estimate, “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar expressions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various assumptions, risks and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, those set forth in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in the other documents that we file with the SEC. There also are other factors that we may not describe, generally because we currently do not perceive them to be material, which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations.
We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information required under this item is provided under the caption “Disclosures about Market Risks” under “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, Allied, under the supervision and with the participation of Allied’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Sections 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that Allied’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner of material information required to be included in Allied’s periodic SEC filings.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
During the threesecond quarter of 2007, upon our emergence from Chapter 11, we established controls over the application of fresh-start reporting. Except for such application of fresh-start reporting, during the six months ended March 31,June 30, 2007, there were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various litigation and environmental matters relating to workers’ compensation, products liability, auto liability, employment practices, and other matters arising from operations in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position but could have a material effect on our results of operations in future periods.
We are defending against an appeal in the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals concerning the confirmation of our Joint Plan. The appeal was filed by certain Predecessor stockholders. The appeal was dismissed by the District Court for the Northern District of Georgia as, inter alia, moot due to the substantial consummation of the Joint Plan. The stockholders have appealed the dismissal. We do not believe that the appeal has merit, and thus, we do not believe that this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
See also Note 13 (c) of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, “Item 1. Financial Statements.”
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to certain risks, including the risks described below. This Item 1A does not describe all risks applicable to our business and is intended only as a summary of certain material factors that affect our operations and the car-haul industry in which we operate. More detailed information concerning these and other risks is contained in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other reports filed with the SEC. The risks described below, as well as the other risks that are generally set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Readers of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q should take such risks into account in evaluating any investment decision involving our common stock or debt securities.

Our actual financial results and financial condition could significantly vary from the projections provided to the Bankruptcy Court and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.
In connection with the filing of the Joint Plan, we filed four-year income statement projections as exhibits to the plan documents as well as other projected financial information filed with the Bankruptcy Court. The four-year income statement projections were based on information available to us as of March 23, 2007. Our actual results and financial condition could vary materially from the income statement and other projections filed with the Bankruptcy Court. The four-year income statement projections and other projected information filed with the Bankruptcy Court are not included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q nor are they incorporated by reference. Investors should not place undue reliance on those projections.
Our net operating loss carry forwards may be limited
At the fresh-start reporting date, our net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes were estimated at $40 million and are estimated to expire between 2021 and 2026. As a result of the issuance of new common stock upon emergence, we realized a change in ownership under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the amount of our net operating loss carryforwards that we can utilize each year will be limited.
We have a significant amount of debt and substantially all our assets are pledged as collateral for debt obligations, which could limit our operational flexibility and customer relationships or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.
As of March 31,June 30, 2007, we had consolidated term debt and borrowings under the New DIP Facilitysenior secured credit facilities of approximately $205.0$230 million. Upon emergence we had $230 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. We are exposed to the risks normally associated with substantial amounts of debt such as:
  We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend our debt as it matures.
 
  If we are not able to refinance or extend our debt when it matures, we may not be able to repay the debt;
 
  Substantially all our assets are pledged as collateral for our debt and as a result we are limited in our ability to sell assets to generate additional cash;
 
  Our flexibility in responding to changes in the business and industry may be reduced;
 
  We may be more vulnerable to economic downturns;
 
  We may be unable to invest in our fleet of Rigs;
 
  We may be unable to meet customer demands; and
 
  We may be limited in our ability to withstand competitive pressures.
The terms of the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities place restrictions on us, which create risks of default and limits our flexibility.
The new Secured Credit Facilities containsenior secured credit facilities contains a number of affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, which limit our ability to, among other things, incur or repay debt (with the exception of payment of interest or principal at stated maturity), incur liens, make investments, purchase or redeem stock, make dividend or other distributions or enter into a merger or consolidation transaction.
If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in the Secured Credit Facilities,senior secured credit facilities, and these are not waived, or we do not adequately service this debt, our lenders could declare a default under the Secured Credit Facilities.senior secured credit facilities. If a default occurs under the Secured Credit Facilities,senior secured credit facilities, our lenders may elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable. Borrowings under the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities are collateralized with substantially all of our assets. If we were unable to repay any borrowings under the Secured Credit Facilitiessenior secured credit facilities when due, our lenders would have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt. Any default under the Secured Credit Facilities,senior secured credit facilities, particularly

52


any default that results in acceleration of indebtedness or foreclosure on collateral, would have a material and adverse affect on us.
We will be required to make significant capital expenditures on our Rigs in the coming years and we may not be able to maintain our current level of terminal operations or customer relationships.
In recent years, as a result of our financial condition, we have operated under a reduced capital expenditure plan with respect to our fleet of Rigs. As a result, we have been unable to replace or remanufacture the number of Rigs or engines we normally would have if we had not been forced to significantly reduce our capital expenditures. We believe that approximately 67% of our active fleet of Rigs will reach the end of their useful lives and must be replaced in 2007 through 2010, which will require a significant increase in our capital spending, from approximately $35.8 million in 2006 to approximately $66.8 million in 2007 (excluding the Blue Thunder Rigs) and $70 million in each of the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. No assurances can be provided that we will have the necessary capital from our operations or that we will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, to support this necessary increase in capital investment.
Even if we are able to invest the amounts indicated above each year, we will be operating a substantial number of Rigs beyond their scheduled replacement or remanufacturing due dates. Accordingly, Rigs may have to be taken out of service sooner than planned as a result of equipment failures or the Rigs otherwise reaching the end of their useful

44


lives. We presently have no excess Rigs to service our existing business or to seek additional business. A large number of Rig failures could result in our inability to meet our service requirements under existing customer contracts, which could result in the termination of such agreements by our customers and would likely have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Additionally, we may be forced to increase repair and maintenance spending in an effort to maintain the number of Rigs in service. If we are unable to make planned reinvestments in the fleet because of liquidity or other constraints, or if there is inadequate manufacturing or remanufacturing capacity when we require it, repairs and maintenance expense will be adversely impacted.
If we are not able to renegotiate our union contracts on terms favorable to us as they expire, or if work stoppages or other labor disruptions occur during such negotiations, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The Joint Plan incorporates modifications to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters in the U.S. The amendment took effect upon the Effective Date and is renewable three years from that date. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to negotiate new union contracts as the current contracts expire, or that such contracts will be on terms acceptable to us or that these contracts will not result in increased labor costs, labor disruptions, increased employee turnover, higher risk management costs, work stoppages, or lost customer market share which could in turn, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or customer relationships.
Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow and interest expense.
A portion of our indebtedness is subject to variable rates of interest. In addition, we may also incur additional debt obligations attracting interest at variable rates and/or may refinance our current debt at higher interest rates.
Therefore, our interest expense could increase which in turn would reduce the amounts available for servicing our debt, funding our operations and capital expenditure program, meeting customer demands and pursuing new business opportunities.
A shortage of fuel or higher fuel prices resulting from fuel shortages or other factors could have a detrimental effect on the automotive industry or the automotive transportation industry and could materially and adversely affect our operations.
Higher fuel prices or a shortage of fuel could impact the sale of SUVs or light trucks at our major customers which could impair our revenues and negatively impact our earnings. Further, fuel is a major expense in the transportation of automobiles, and the cost and availability of fuel are subject to economic and political factors and events, which we can neither control nor accurately predict. We have the optionattempt to minimize the effect of fuel price fluctuations by periodically purchasing a portion of our fuel in advance, but even if we utilize this option, we can provide no assurance that such activity will effectively mitigate our exposure. In addition, we have negotiated fuel surcharges with substantially all of our

53


customers, which now enables us to pass on a portion of any increase in fuel costs to these customers. Customer fuel surcharges reset at varying intervals which do not exceed one quarter, based on the fuel prices from the applicable previous period. Therefore, there is a lag between the time fuel prices change and the time that the fuel surcharge is adjusted. Nevertheless, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to continue to obtain fuel surcharges from these customers. Furthermore, in periods of rising fuel prices and declining vehicle deliveries, we may not recover all of the fuel price increase through our fuel surcharge programs since fuel surcharge rates in any quarter reset at the beginning of the quarter based on fuel prices in the preceding quarter and are also influenced by our customers’ production levels.
Higher fuel prices resulting from fuel shortages or other factors could materially and adversely affect us if we are unable to pass on the full amount of fuel price increases to our customers through fuel surcharges or higher shipment rates. In addition, higher fuel prices, even if passed on to customers, or a shortage of fuel supply, or the timing of fuel surcharge recoveries could have an adverse effect on the automotive transportation industry and our business in general.
A further decline in the automotive industry could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The automotive transportation industry in which we operate is dependent upon the volume of new automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks manufactured, imported and sold in North America. The automotive industry is highly cyclical, and the demand for new automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks is directly affected by such external factors as

45


general economic conditions in the U.S and Canada, unemployment, consumer confidence, fuel prices, government policies, continuing activities of war, terrorist activities, and the availability of affordable new car financing. As a result, our results of operations could be adversely affected by downturns in the general economy and in the automotive industry and by consumer preferences in purchasing new automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks or the overall financial condition of our major customers. A significant decline in the volume of automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks manufactured, distributed, and sold in North America could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The internal strategies of our largest customers could have a material effect on our performance.
Our Automotive Group’s business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and Honda. General Motors and Ford have publicly announced plans to reduce production levels and eliminate excess manufacturing capacity including plans to eliminate jobs and reduce costs for certain employees. The efforts underway by our customers to improve their overall financial condition could result in numerous changes that are beyond our control including additional unannounced customer plant closings, changes in products or distribution patterns, further volume reductions, labor disruptions, changes or disruptions in our accounts receivable, mandatory reductions in our pricing, terms or service conditions or market share losses. We cannot accurately anticipate some of the risks associated with the financial condition of our largest customers.
Losses may exceed our insurance coverage or liabilities recorded.reserves.
Because we retain liability for a significant portion of our risks, an increase in the number or severity of accidents, on the job injuries, other loss events over those anticipated, or adverse developments in existing claims including wage and medical cost inflation could have a material adverse effect on our profitability. While we currently have insurance coverage for claims above our retention levels, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage in the future.
We establish liabilities for our self-insured obligations based on actuarial valuations, our historical claims experience and management’s evaluation of the nature and severity of claims made against us. If the cost of these claims exceeds our estimates, as could occur if there were unfavorable developments in existing claims, we would be required to record additional expenses in subsequent years.
We are also required to provide collateral to our third-party insurance carriers and various states for losses in respect of worker injuries, accident, theft, and other loss claims. For this purpose, we utilize cash cash equivalents and other time deposits and/or letters of credit. We can provide no assurance that the current letter of credit requirements will be reduced nor can we provide assurance that these letter of credit requirements will not increase.
We have a history of losses and may not be able to improve our performance to achieve profitability.

54


We reported net losses of $12.6 million, $12.3 million, $125.7 million, $53.9 million, $8.6 million and $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, our accumulated deficit at MarchThough we reported net income of $205 million for the five months ended May 31, 2007, this was $217.7 million.primarily a result of one-time adjustments related to the effects of the Joint Plan and fresh-start reporting. Our ability to improve our performance and profitability is dependent upon several factors including the timely and successful implementation of the Joint Plan, the economy, the dynamics of the automotive transportation industry including actions by our major customers, our ability to develop and implement successful business strategies, our ability to maintain effective relationships with our employees including those represented by the Teamsters, our ability to maintain effective relationships with our suppliers, the price and availability of fuel and our ability to successfully manage other operational challenges. If we fail to improve our performance, it could continue to have an adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flow, liquidity and business prospects and our operations would not likely be profitable in the ensuing years.
Our restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits are not available for use in our operations even if they were needed to fund our operations.
As of March 31,June 30, 2007, our restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits were approximately $97.8$98.4 million. The amount of restricted cash has not changed significantly through July 31, 2007. We use these restricted cash and investments to collateralize letters of credit required by third-party insurance carriers. These assets are not available for use in our operations even if needed for our continued operations or to service our debt obligations.

If we do not maintain our relationships with major customers or these relationships are terminated, reduced or redesigned, our operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our Automotive Group’s business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota and Honda. Approximately 88% of our Automotive Group’s 2006 revenues were generated through the services provided to these customers. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully renew these contracts on or prior to their expiration on terms satisfactory to us or that we will be able to continue to serve these customers without service interruption. In addition, the Automotive Group faces the risk of losing market share in connection with its negotiations to renew its customer contracts. For instance, in 2004, the Automotive Group renewed its agreement with Chrysler and though the agreement resulted in increased billing rates, the Automotive Group lost Chrysler’s business at six locations in connection with the contract renewal. Also, in 2005, in connection with the renewal of its contract with Toyota, the Automotive Group lost business at locations that generated approximately 32% of the 2005 revenues associated with the Toyota account. The Automotive Group recently reached an agreement in principle with Ford, which would give Ford the right to use other carriersresource certain of our business at certain locations mutually acceptable to Allied and Ford. A continued loss in market share without an increase in revenues or pricing or an adequate reduction in costs would likely have an adverse effect on our operations.
A significant reduction in vehicle production levels, plant closings, or the imposition of vendor price reductions by these manufacturers, or the loss of General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota or Honda as customers, or a significant reduction or a change in the design, definition, frequency or terms of the services provided for any of these customers by our Automotive Group would have a material adverse effect on our operations. General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford, in particular, have publicly announced plans to significantly reduce vendor costs including those costs associated with logistics services.
Competition in the automotive transportation industry could result in a loss of our market share or a reduction in our rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The automotive transportation industry is highly competitive. Our Automotive Group currently competes with other motor carriers of varying sizes, as well as with railroads and independent owner-operators. Allied Automotive also competes with non-union motor carriers that may be able to provide services to their customers at lower prices and in a more flexible manner than we can. The development of new methods for hauling vehicles could also lead to increased competition. For example, some customers occasionally utilize local drive-away services to facilitate local delivery of products. There has also been an increase in the number of vehicle-hauling companies that utilize non-union labor, and we believe that the market share and Rig capacity represented by such companies is increasing. Vehicle-hauling companies that utilize non-union labor operate at a significant cost advantage as compared to our Automotive Group and other unionized vehicle-hauling companies. Non-union vehicle-hauling competitors also operate without restrictive work rules that apply to our Automotive Group and other unionized companies.

55


Railroads, which specialize in long-haul transportation, may be able to provide delivery services at costs to customers that are less than the long-haul delivery cost of Allied Automotive’s services. Further, the railroads could form alliances for local delivery of customer products. If we lose market share to these competitors or have to reduce our rates in order to retain our market share, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. We hope to prevent further deterioration to our market share on the basis of reliability through our experienced drivers, effective management, productive and service-driven operations, extensive and flexible distribution network, and management of risk, particularly with respect to cargo claims, worker injuries and traffic accidents. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to prevent further loss of our market share through these initiatives.
Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, and is subject to restrictions on transfer which could make it more difficult for investors to liquidate their shares, result in a decline in the stock price and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
On the Effective Date, our pre-Chapter 11 common stock was cancelled and new common stock was issued. These securities are not currently listed on a national securities exchange, and are subject to restrictions on transfer which could make it more difficult for investors to liquidate their shares, result in a decline in the stock price and make it difficult for us to raise additional capital. We can provide no assurance that we will be abledo not currently intend to re-list our common stock on a national securities exchange.
We mayintend to terminate our SEC reporting obligations, which could make an investment in our common stock less liquid.
The transfer restrictions included in our certificate of incorporation are designed, in part, to limit our number of shareholders of record so that we can deregister from our reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we currently anticipate that we will terminate our reporting obligations with the SEC priorsubsequent to December 2007. Ifthe filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. When we terminate our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, it wouldwill likely further reduce any market for our common stock. In addition, although we will be required to continue to provide certain information to our shareholders, such information will not be as detailed as that required under the Exchange Act.
Adverse changes in the foreign business climate, primarily in Canada, could adversely affect our operations.

47


Although the majority of our operational activity takes place in the U.S., we derive a portion of our revenues and earnings from operations in foreign countries, primarily Canada. The risks of doing business in foreign countries include the potential for adverse changes in the local political climate, adverse changes in diplomatic relations between foreign countries and the U.S., hostility from local populations, terrorist activity, the potential adverse effects of currency exchange controls, increased security at U.S. border crossings which could slow the movement of freight and increase our operating costs, deterioration of foreign economic conditions, currency rate fluctuations, foreign exchange restrictions and potential changes in local taxation policies. Due to the foregoing risks, any of which, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our operations, we believe that our business activities outside of the U.S. involve a higher degree of risk than our domestic activities.
Major changes in key personnel on whom we depend could adversely affect our operations.
Our success is dependent upon our senior management team, as well as our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Effective June 1, 2007, we hired a new President and Chief Executive Officer. If our management team is unable to develop successful strategies, achieve company objectives or maintain satisfactory relationships with our customers, employees, suppliers and creditors, our ability to grow our business and meet business challenges could be impaired. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing senior management team or that we will be able to attract qualified replacement personnel.
The loss of our Teamster drivers and mechanics could adversely affect our operations.
Our ability to perform daily operations on behalf of our customers is dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified drivers and mechanics to staff our Automotive Group’s terminals and garages. Should we experience higher than historical Teamster employee retirements or resignations which could occur as a result of our efforts to seek interim wage relief and modifications to the Master Agreement, our ability to grow our business, maintain our current business levels and meet customer service requirements could be adversely impacted. We can provide no

56


assurance that we will be able to retain existing Teamster personnel at existing staffing levels or attract new Teamster employees to replenish our work force, when necessary.
We have previously had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and any unidentified material weaknesses could cause us to fail to meet our SEC and other reporting requirements.
In connection with its audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, including reviews of the quarterly periods for those years, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) advised the Audit Committee and management that KPMG had identified deficiencies in our analysis, evaluation and review process for financial reporting. KPMG informed the Audit Committee and management that it believed such deficiencies were a “material weakness” in our internal control over financial reporting, with respect to our analysis, evaluation and review of financial information included in our financial reporting.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, KPMG indicated that they did not identify a material weakness as of December 31, 2006. Since we are not an accelerated filer (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2), we have not conducted the initial assessment of our internal control over financial reporting mandated by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 nor has KPMG audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We will report on our annual assessment in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, when required, which will be no earlier than for the year ending December 31, 2007. That process could identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses not previously reported.
We can provide no assurances that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be discovered in the future. If we fail to remediate any such material weakness, our operating results or customer relationships could be adversely affected or we may fail to meet our SEC reporting requirements or our financial statements may contain a material misstatement.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives or of preventing fraud due to its inherent limitations, regardless of how well designed or implemented. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and as a result is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Because of these and other limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements or instances of fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal control over financial reporting.
