2. Principles of Consolidation and Accounting Policies

2.Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-majority owned affiliates or those in which we do not have control where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for on the equity method. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in our consolidated subsidiaries, consequently, all of our shareholders’ equity (deficit), net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the periodsperiod’s presented are attributable to controlling interests for the periods presented in the accompanying statements and notes.interests. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. We have considered subsequent events through August 10,November 9, 2009, the date of this report. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after thesuch reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. At JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the net book value of assets held for sale was approximately $117.5$124.4 million and $32.4 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $3.7$6.7 million and $7.0$13.8 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, and $3.7$0.4 million and $6.4$6.8 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, respectively, to reduce properties and equipment held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) Losses“Gains on Property Disposals, Net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-termasset-backed securitization borrowings approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts within the prior year have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. We reclassified certain reorganization and settlement costs to their related expense account to make the presentation comparable to 2009.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we determined indicators of impairment, primarily volume reductions in all of our reporting segments, were present. We performed certain tests consisting of discounted cash flow models and determined that the lives assigned to certain customer relationships should be reduced to better align with actual attrition rates. This resulted in additional amortization expense of $1.4 million and $2.8 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Estimated amortization expense related to intangible assets for all of 2009 and each of the next five years is as follows:

4. Restructuring

During the first nine months of 2009, we closed 18 service centers that were previously a part of the Regional Transportation networks. As a part of this action, we incurred certain restructuring charges of approximately $7.2 million consisting of employee severance, lease cancellations and other incremental costs. Also during the first nine months of 2009, we integrated our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks into a single transportation network branded “YRC”. We incurred additional severance costs of $34.0 million, including $24.4 million in the National Transportation segment and $4.2 million in our Regional Transportation segment as we reduced headcount in response to both the YRC integration and lower volumes. Our National Transportation segment also recorded a $23.0 million charge consisting of contract and lease cancellations related to the YRC integration. Finally, our YRC Logistics segment recorded $5.2 million of severance and lease cancellation costs primarily in response to lower business levels.

We assess the accrual requirements under our restructuring efforts at the end of each reporting period. A rollforward of the restructuring accrual is set forth below:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we determined our investment with respect to Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. incurred an other than temporary impairment. This is primarily the result of different assumptions with respect to revenue growth rates from the initial valuation to those assumed in the current economic environment. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge for this equity method investment of $30.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This amount is classified as a non-operating expense in the accompanying statements of operations. No such amount was recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2008.

6. Liquidity

The current economic recession and the lingering tight credit market resulting from the global financial crisis continueenvironment continues to have a dramatic effect on our industry. The current recessionaryThis economic environment continues to negatively impact our customers’ needs to ship and, therefore, negatively impacts the volume of freight we service and the price we receive for our services. As a result, we continue to experience lower year-over-year revenue (primarily a function of declining volume), operating losses and significant operating losses. In addition, we believe that some of our customers have reduced their shipments with us to mitigate the risks of integration of our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks. We experienced these reduced shipment levels to a greater extent in March 2009 and for a longer period extending into the second quarter than we anticipated when planning the integration of our networks. As a result, our financial results for the second quarter have fallen short of our previous expectations. As our service has improved from the March 2009 integration, our shipment volumes have stabilized; we have added new customers to our networks and have increased our volumes with certain existing customers during the second quarter. Although many of our customers have returned their business to us, this business has not returned as quickly as we had anticipated.negative cash flow. In addition, we believe that many of our existing customers have reduced their business with us during the last couple of quarters due to the uncertaintytheir concerns regarding our financial condition. As a result, these concerns have had an adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and liquidity.

(Unaudited)

As a part of our comprehensive plan, we have executed on a number of significant initiatives during 2009 to respond to these conditions, which are described more fully below. In March 2009, we completed the integration of our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks into one service network, now branded “YRC”. As we continue to improve our service and stabilize our financial condition, we anticipate the return of the shipping volume from these customers. However, we cannot predict how quickly and to what extent thesethis volume will return. On a sequential basis, as compared with the second quarter, our operating revenue decreased 1.6% due to modestly declining volumes, will return.but our operating results improved by approximately $182 million, and our operating cash flows improved by $77 million. Sequential improvements were aided by successful cost and liquidity actions within our comprehensive plan which we discuss below.

Operating Performance and Cash Flow Improvement ActivitiesComprehensive Plan

In light of the current economic recession,environment and the resulting challenging business conditions, we have implemented or are in the process of implementing the following actions (among others) as part of our comprehensive plan to reduce our cost basestructure and improve our operating income andresults, cash flow from operations:operations, liquidity and financial condition:

Certain of these actions are further described below. The final execution of our plan has certain risks that we are not able to completely control which may adversely impact our liquidity. See “Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity” below.

YRC Integration

In March 2009, we completed the integration of our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks into one service network, now branded “YRC”. Since the integration, our service (both on-time deliveries and reduced claims) has improved to a level above pre-integration. In addition, productivity measurements for city pick up and delivery labor, dock labor, and load average in our line haul operation have also improved since the integration. During the integration, we believe that many of our customers reduced their shipments with us to mitigate their risks from our integration. As our service has improved from the March 2009 integration, many of these customers are now returning their shipping volumes to us and we have added new customers. However, these volumes have not returned as quickly as we had anticipated. We cannot predict how quickly and to what extent these volumes will return. As a result of the successful integration, we have been able to implement a number of significant cost savings actions, including reducing the number of terminals, reducing headcount and decreasing our fleet size. We will implement further cost saving measures in the event thatif we experience further declines in shipping volume.

Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Modification

OnIn August 7, 2009, a majoritythe employees in most of our employeesbargaining units who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “Teamsters”) ratified a modification to our collective bargaining agreement. The modification provides (among other things) the following:

 

a temporary cessation of the requirement for the Company’s subsidiaries to make contributions on behalf of most of the Company’s Teamster represented employees to the Pension Fundsunion multi-employer pension funds from July 2009 through December 31, 2010. These contributions will not need to be repaid in the future and, therefore, will be a cost reduction during this period;period

a reduction in the increase in contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans from $1.00 per hour to $0.20 per hour that are scheduled foroccurred on August 1, 2009 and to $0.40 per hour for thosethat is scheduled for August 1, 2010;2010

 

the establishment of a stock option plan for participating union employees, providing for options to purchase an additional 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as if all outstanding stock options were exercised on the date the plan is established. This plan is required to be on terms substantially similar to the plan created in January 2009, when the first 10% wage reduction was implemented, including the requirement that the Company’s shareholders approve the plan. If the Company’s shareholders do not approve the plan, the participating union employees would receive stock appreciation rights on similar terms. The stock option grants will occur on the date the Teamsters certifyimplemented. These options are expected to the Company that the Company has entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement that is acceptable to the Teamsters and the date that the Company certifies to the Teamsters there exists no event or condition which constitutesbe granted immediately following a default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or which upon notice, lapse of time or both would, unless cured or waived, become or lead to such a default.

on or before September 6, 2009, subject to the approvalsuccessful completion of the Company’s board of directors andExchange Offer (and any associated reverse stock split substantially contemporaneous with the Company’s bank group, the Company is required to appoint an officer with authority to coordinate and oversee the Company’s continued recovery efforts. This officer will be the same officer as discussed under “Credit Agreement Amendment – Designated Officer” below.Exchange Offer)

 

during the period in which the temporary pension contribution cessation is in effect, subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, the Company is required to appoint a director that the Teamsters nominate. This person has not yet been nominated.

As with prior ratification elections, a small number of the bargaining units representing less than 10% of our Teamster employees did not yetinitially ratify the labor agreement modifications.modifications on August 7, 2009. The Company and the Teamsters expect to addresshave since addressed employee concerns and most of these units have these smallereither subsequently ratified the modifications or have merged or will merge with other bargaining units reconsiderthat have previously ratified the modificationsmodifications. A small number of bargaining units representing less than 4% of our Teamster employees, mostly Reddaway employees or Reimer employees in Canada continue to consider the near future. If thesemodifications. These units do not approve the modification, they will continue under their current collective bargaining agreements without additional modification. Absent ratification, among other obligations, the Company would remain obligated to make contributions for these employees to the applicable Pension Funds. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company was obligated to make approximately $2.1 million in average monthlyimpact contributions to U.S. multi-employer pension funds, as the Pension Funds for these non-ratifying units. Certain of the smaller Pension Funds (primarily in the Northeast) to which the Company contributes terminated the Company’s participation in these Pension Funds in advance of the ratification of the labor agreement modifications. With respect to the non-ratifying bargaining units, if these units do not subsequently ratify the modifications, the Company and these Pension Funds will need to agree to amend the termination notices to allow these units to continue togenerally participate in the Pension Funds to avoid withdrawal liability.these funds.

(Unaudited)

— Revolver Reserve Amount

During 2009, the Company has sold certain of its assets, generally excess real estate and real estate that the Company has sold and leased back from the buyer. Much of the excess real estate has been available for sale due to the Company’s integration of its Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks and the Company’s cost reductions that the Company has undertaken in response to its volume declines. Prior to Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, give effectthe Credit Agreement provided that a portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s sales of real estate was placed into a revolver reserve. The Credit Agreement only permitted the Company to borrow from the revolver reserve if 66 2/3% of the Lenders voted in favor of the borrowing. The amount in the revolver reserve is part of, and not in addition to, the $950 million credit facility that the Credit Agreement provides. The revolver reserve effectively “blocks” the Company from borrowing on that portion of the Credit Facility until the conditions to borrowing to access the blocked amount are met. Prior to Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, Amendment. Set forth below is a summary ofany amounts in the principal terms ofrevolver reserve that were not borrowed by October 29, 2009 would have permanently reduced the revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement Amendment.

Financial Covenants

The Credit Agreement Amendment suspends the requirement that the Company maintains liquidity equal to or greater than $100 million at all times until September 1, 2009. In addition, the Credit Agreement Amendment amends the minimum consolidated EBITDA negative covenant:

(a)by including an add back to consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries of up to $14 million for certain restructuring charges for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2009, of up to $8 million for certain restructuring charges for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 and of up to $5 million for certain restructuring charges for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010; and

(b)by resetting minimum Consolidated EBITDA amounts and test dates as follows:

Period

  Minimum Consolidated EBITDA

For the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2009

  $15,000,000

For the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2010

  $20,000,000

For the two consecutive fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2010

  $80,000,000

For the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2010

  $145,000,000

For the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2010

  $210,000,000

Revolver Reserve Amount

The Credit Agreement Amendment extends the date uponfrom October 29, 2009 to January 1, 2012 (or such later date as may be agreed to by 66 2/3% of the lenders) on which the revolving commitments will be permanently reduced by the revolver reserve amount, subject to early termination upon a Deferral Termination Event (defined below) so long as the Recapitalization Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is completed and the CDA Amendment (defined below) is effective. The Exchange Offer, as presently contemplated (and described below in “Contemplated Exchange Offer”), would meet the definition in the Credit Agreement of a Recapitalization Transaction. On November 5, 2009, the CDA Amendment became effective. However, if the Exchange Offer is not completed on or before December 16, 2009 (or such later date as may be agreed to by 66 2/3% of the lenders, the “Exchange Offer Deadline”), the revolving commitments will be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the then current Revolver Reserve Amount (as defined below) to September 1, 2009.

Asset Sale Mandatory Prepaymentrevolver reserve amount on that date.

PursuantAmendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement bifurcated the revolver reserve amount into two blocks: the existing revolver reserve block and the new revolver reserve block.

The existing revolver reserve block is $106 million and will not increase above that amount. Until the earlier of the completion of the Exchange Offer and the Exchange Offer Deadline, the Credit Agreement Amendment the asset sale mandatory prepayment provision was amendedcontinues to no longer requireprovide the Company access to include any$50 million of the existing revolver reserve block at any time for specified operating needs (“Permitted Interim Loans”). Access to the remaining existing revolver reserve block (and any portion of the $50 million of the existing revolver reserve block that could be, but is not, borrowed prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer) is subject to borrowing conditions, including (among others) the following:

after giving effect to each borrowing, unrestricted Permitted Investments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are less than or equal to $125 million (or, $100 million to the extent that any Permitted Interim Loans are outstanding)

completion of the Exchange Offer

either

the Company meets certain specified minimum weekly operating thresholds based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and maintains certain monthly selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense amounts below specified maximum thresholds or

66 2/3% of the lenders approve the borrowing

The new revolver reserve block was approximately $8.7 million at October 27, 2009 and will be increased by mandatory prepayments of net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and any excess cash flow sweeps. The Company may access the new revolver reserve block after the existing revolver reserve block has been fully borrowed, subject to the same borrowing conditions applicable to the existing revolver reserve block, except that the Company must obtain the approval of 66 2/3% of the lenders rather than complying with the minimum weekly operating EBITDA thresholds and maximum SG&A monthly expense amounts.

— Interest and Fee Deferrals

Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement provides that the lenders will defer the payment of revolver and term loan interest, letter of credit fees and commitment fees for the period:

beginning upon the completion of the Exchange Offer and

ending on December 31, 2010, subject to an extension until December 31, 2011 if agreed to by 66 2/3 % of the lenders.

— Deferral Exceptions and Termination Events

There are exceptions and termination events with respect to the interest and fee deferral described above, including (among others) the following:

no further interest and fees will be deferred and all previously deferred amounts will become payable at the direction of a majority of the lenders, upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including (among others) the following, unless 66 2/3% of the lenders agree otherwise (each, a “Deferral Termination Event”):

the modification to our collective bargaining agreement (described above in “— Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Ratification”) terminates or is amended or otherwise modified (including, by the operation of any “snapback” or similar provisions) in any way that is adverse to the Company or the Lenders in a manner that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in an impact of greater than $5 million in any calendar year;

the Company amends or otherwise modifies the Contribution Deferral Agreement and related agreements in any way that is adverse to the Company or the lenders; or

on or after completion of the Exchange Offer, the Company makes any cash payment of any pension fund obligations and any interest thereon that the Company deferred in 2009 under the Contribution Deferral Agreement other than:

payments of proceeds resulting from the sale of real property that collateralizes the deferred pension obligations and which the pension funds have a first $50lien; or

payments of permitted fees and expenses.

no further interest and fees will be deferred upon any cash payment (other than payments described in the preceding bullets) of any pension fund liabilities (and any interest thereon) due prior to December 31, 2011 other than certain permitted payments, including payments to the Company’s single employer pension plans that are required to be made pursuant to ERISA and payments to certain multiemployer pension plans (each, a “Deferral Suspension Event”). Any deferred interest and fees will not become due and payable solely as a result of a Deferral Suspension Event.

commencing on January 1, 2011,

if after giving effect to an interest or fee payment on the applicable interest or fee payment date, the Available Interest Payment Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on the interest or fee payment date would be equal to or greater than $150 million, the Company must make such payment in full in cash on such interest or fee payment date and

to the extent that the Available Interest Payment Amount on any business day exceeds $225 million, the Company must apply the excess over $225 million to pay previously deferred interest and fees.

— Mandatory Prepayments

Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, we are obligated to make mandatory prepayments on an annual basis of any excess cash flow and upon the receipt of net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and the issuance of equity and if we have an average liquidity amount for the immediately preceding five business days in excess of $250 million. The percentage of net cash proceeds received and the manner in which they are applied varies as set forth in greater detail in the Credit Agreement.

Asset Sales

The Credit Agreement, as amended, allows us to receive up to $400 million of net cash proceeds from asset sales in 2009 and $200 million of net cash proceeds from asset sales in 2010, which limits do not include net cash proceeds received from certain asset sales, including the following:

the sale of real estate asset salesthat constitutes first lien collateral of the pension funds pursuant to the Contribution Deferral Agreement

the initial sale and lease back transaction completed with NATMI Truck Terminals, LLC in the first half of 2009, and

permitted dispositions approved by a majority of the lenders.

In addition, after Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, we can only consummate sale and leaseback transactions if

a majority of our bank lenders approve the transactions or

such transactions were approved by the bank lenders in connection with Amendment effective date until September 1, 2009No. 12.

The Company expects to close approximately $50 million of approved sale leaseback transactions in the Revolver Reserve Amount,fourth quarter of 2009. See “—Lease Financing Transactions”. The closing of these sale leaseback transactions is subject to:to the satisfaction of normal and customary due diligence and related conditions, including the right of each buyer to terminate its obligation in its sole discretion during the inspection period, which conditions may be outside of the Company’s control.

Amendment No, 12 to the Credit Agreement allows the Company to add back certain restructuring charges when evaluating minimum consolidated EBITDA as set forth in greater detail in the Credit Agreement.

Teamster Approval of the respective net cash proceeds,Credit Agreement

The August 2009 modification to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters requires, among other things, that we enter into a bank amendment that is acceptable to the Teamsters. The Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee (“TNFINC”) certified to us that Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement was satisfactory to the Teamsters, subject to the following conditions:

ABS Facility AmendmentAmendments and Renewal

On July 30,October 27, 2009, we also amended our ABS Facility. The ABS Facility amendments extended the Company and the other parties thereto entered into Amendment No. 7 toexpiration of the ABS Facility (the “ABS Amendment”). from February 11, 2010 to October 26, 2010;providedthat, if the Exchange Offer is not completed by the Exchange Offer Deadline, the ABS Facility will expire on February 11, 2010.

The ABS Amendment amendsFacility amendments have amended certain Trigger Events (as defined in the ABS Facility) to make the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABS Facility) and maximum capital expenditure requirements consistent with the Credit Agreement. The ABS Amendment also amends specified provisions with respect to the Liquidity Notification Date (as defined in the ABS Facility) consistent with the See “Credit Agreement.Agreement Amendments – Financial Covenants” above. In connection with the ABS Facility Amendment, the Company paid fees to each participating co-agentaddition, certain calculations under the ABS Facility in an amount equalwere amended to 0.50%reduce the impact of certain negative effects that the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway has had on those calculations, due to rating adjustments and the timing of customer payments. As a result of the Group Limit (as defined inamendments, the obligation to repay outstanding amounts under the ABS Facility) applicableFacility due to those integration effects has been reduced or eliminated. The Co-Agents under the ABS Facility have completed preliminary work to verify the related integration adjustments; however, further substantiation by the Co-Agents as part of their annual audit of the ABS Facility is required. This audit must be completed by November 30, 2009.

The ABS Facility amendments also reduced the aggregate commitments under the ABS Facility from $500 million to $400 million and reduced the letter of credit facility sublimit from $105 million to $84 million. The Company believes that co-agent.the impact of this reduction will not affect the Company’s liquidity because the $400 million commitment level is sufficient given the Company’s current level of accounts receivable underlying the ABS Facility.

Upon completion of the Exchange Offer, the Co-Agents under the ABS Facility have also agreed to defer most of the fees during the term of the ABS Facility. This includes the $10 million fee that was originally due on September 30, 2009, prior to the ABS Facility amendments.

Lease Financing Transactions

We have entered into several lease financing transactions with various parties, including NATMI Truck Terminals, LLC and its affiliates (“NATMI”) and Estes Express Lines (“Estes”). The underlying transactions included providing title of certain real estate assets to the issuer in exchange for agreed upon proceeds; however, the transactions did not meet the accounting definition of a “sale leaseback” and as such, the assets remain on our balance sheet and long-term debt (titled Lease Financing Obligations) is reflected on our balance sheet in the amount of the proceeds. We are required to make annual lease payments, which are recorded as principal and interest payments under these arrangements, generally over a term of ten years.arrangements.

TheseThe deferred amounts bear interest at the applicable interest rate set forth in the trust documentation that governs the Pension Fundeach pension fund and range from 4% to 18% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2009.

On November 5, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Contribution Deferral Agreement (the “CDA Amendment”).

— Amortization and Interest Deferral

Prior to the CDA Amendment, outstanding deferred pension payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement were to be paid to the Funds in thirty-six equal monthly installments payable on the 15th day of each calendar month commencing on January 15, 2010 (each a “CDA Amortization Payment”) and interest payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement (each a “CDA Interest Payment”) were required to be made to the Funds in arrears on the fifteenth day of each calendar month.

The CDA Amendment provides that upon the completion of the Exchange Offer on or prior to Exchange Offer Deadline (so long as the lenders under the Credit Agreement do not permanently reduce revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement as a result of reducing the revolver reserve amount), all CDA Amortization Payments and CDA Interest Payments due from the date the completion of the Exchange Offer through the end of 2010 shall be deferred until December 31, 2011;provided, that the CDA Amortization Payments and CDA Interest Payments will become due at the election of the majority of the pension funds on December 31, 2010 if 90% of the pension funds do not approve a continuation of the deferral of CDA Amortization Payments and CDA Interest Payments for calendar year 2011. In addition, all deferred interest rate forand amortization payments will become payable at the Central States Pension Fund representingelection of the largestmajority of the pension funds and no new amounts may be deferred upon the earliest to occur of:

any Deferral Termination Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

certain events of default; and

the amendment, modification, supplementation or alteration of the Credit Agreement that imposes any mandatory prepayment, commitment reduction, additional interest or fee or any other incremental payment to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement not required as of the effective date of the CDA Amendment unless the pension funds receive a proportionate additional payment in respect of the deferred pension obligations at the time an additional payment to the lenders under the Credit Agreement is required pursuant to the terms of the amendment, modification, supplementation or alteration. For the avoidance of doubt, granting of consent by the lenders under the Credit Agreement to permit an asset sale shall not by itself trigger the provision described in the prior sentence.

— Mandatory Prepayments

The CDA Amendment amends the mandatory prepayment provision tied to liquidity to provide that the Company will only be required to prepay obligations under the Contribution Deferral Agreement if the liquidity of the Company and its subsidiaries is greater than $250 million after deducting any amount due under the Credit Agreement by virtue of the Credit Agreement liquidity mandatory prepayment (as described in the Credit Agreement Amendment section above);provided that such prepayment obligation does not arise unless and until the excess liquidity amount is equal to prime plus two percent. We remit interest payments monthly.or greater than $1 million at any time.

In— Collateral

As part of the Contribution Deferral Agreement, in exchange for the deferral of the contribution obligations, we pledged identified real property to the Pension Fundspension funds so that the Pension Fundspension funds have a first priority security interest in certain of the identified real property and a second priority security interest in other identified real property located throughout the U.S. and Mexico.

We mustare required to prepay the deferred obligations on a ratable basis to the Pension Funds (i) with the net cash proceeds from the sale of first priority collateral or (ii) to the extent that Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement)we sell any of the Company is greater than $250first lien property pledged to the pension funds with the net proceeds from the sale. We have made payments of $15.4 million an amount equalpursuant to such excess (the “Excess Amount”); provided that Liquidity must be equal to $250 million after giving effect to such payment and no payment shall be required until the Excess Amount is equal to or great than $1 million at any time.

We made a payment of $4.7 millionsales to reduce theseour obligations in Juneto the pension funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 leaving a balance of $128.5$141.8 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2009. Additional repayment amounts are required in thirty-six equal monthly installments commencing on January 15, 2010.

YRC Assurance Co. Ltd. (“YRC Assurance”) was the Company’s captive insurance company domiciled in Bermuda and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of YRC Worldwide. YRC Assurance insured certain of our subsidiaries for certain of their respective self-insured obligations for workers’ compensation liabilities. Certain qualifying investments were made by YRC Assurance as required by Bermuda regulations. These investments included purchasing a position in the underlying receivables supporting our ABS Facility. As a result, as shown in the table above, our capacity under the ABS Facility was reduced by YRC Assurance’s investment in receivables of $221.0 million at December 31, 2008. Our Credit Agreement required us to cease the participation of YRC Assurance in the ABS Facility. We have complied with this requirement, and YRC Assurance is in the process of beingwas dissolved. As a result of these transactions, the operating companies who received insurance from YRC Assurance are now self-insured for their workers’ compensation liabilities.

Contemplated Exchange Offer

The Company intends to launch the Exchange Offer based upon terms discussed with representatives of a committee of the holders of its contingent convertible notes and a committee of the holders of its USF 8 1/2% notes (collectively the “Notes”). The successful completion of this exchange would allow the Company access to the existing revolver reserve and to begin deferring payment of lender interest and fees under its recently amended Credit Agreement and ABS Facility and to begin deferring the CDA Interest Payments and CDA Amortization Payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement. See “Credit Agreement Amendments”, “ABS Facility Amendments” and “Pension Contribution Deferral Obligations” above.

In the aggregate and with full participation, noteholders would exchange approximately $536.8 million in face value of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest for shares of common stock and new preferred stock, which together on an as-if converted basis would represent 95% of the Company’s common stock, prior to the Company’s grant of options to its union employees pursuant to modification to the Company’s collective bargaining agreements.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

In light of our recent operating results, we have satisfied our short term liquidity needs through a combination of borrowings under our Credit Agreement and ABS Facilitycredit facilities and, to a more significant degree, retained proceeds from asset sales and sale/leaseback financing transactions and deferralstransactions. In an effort to further manage liquidity, we have also instituted the deferral of pension plan payments. As our operating results improve, we expect that cash generated from operations will reduce our need to continue to rely upon these sources of liquidity to meet our short term funding requirements. Although we expect the wage reduction and temporary pension contribution cessation will improve our liquidity position, these and other cost savings measures noted above will be realized over time as they are implemented over the next several months. In order toTo continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our operatingcash flow requirements throughout the remainder of 2009:2009 and through 2010:

 

our operating results must continue to improve quarter-over-quarter and shipping volumes must continue to stabilize or recover quarter-over-quarter,quarter-over-quarter;

 

we must continue to have access to our Credit Agreement and ABS Facility,credit facilities;

 

we needpayment of interest and fees to completeour lenders and to purchasers of our accounts receivable pursuant to the sale/leasebackABS Facility must be deferred at least through 2010;

payment of interest and real estate sale transactions currently under contract as anticipated,principal to the pension funds must be deferred at least through 2010;

 

our wage reductions and temporary cessation of pension contributions must continuecontinue;

we must complete the sale/leaseback and real estate sale transactions currently under contract as anticipated; and

 

we must realize the cost savings we expect from these and other actions we have taken to date in the anticipated time periods.

OverWe expect our business to experience its usual seasonal low point in late 2009 and the longer term, we have an aggregatewinter of approximately $386.8 million2010. Deferral of indebtedness that matures or that we are otherwise requiredpayment of interest and fees to repurchase at the option of the holder within the next twelve months. Specifically, $150 million in aggregate principal amount of USF’s 81/2% Guaranteed Notes (the “USF Notes”) mature on April 15, 2010 and $236.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.0% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “5.0% Notes”) may be put to us by the holders of the 5.0% Notes on August 8, 2010. In addition, our Credit Agreement permits the lenders, to accelerate the maturity datepurchasers of our obligationsaccounts receivable under our ABS Facility and pension funds subject to the Contribution Deferral Agreement and access to the revolver reserve blocks under the Credit Agreement ifand certain benefits of the remaining obligations under the USF Notes is equal to or greater than $50 million on or after March 1, 2010 or if the remaining obligations under the 5.0% Notes is equal to or greater than $50 million on or after June 25, 2010. Finally, the modification to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamster’s provides that the Teamsters may terminate the wage and benefit reductions in the modification if the USF NotesABS Facility are not refinanced, repurchased or extinguished before March 1, 2010 or the 5.0% Notes are not refinanced, repurchased or extinguished before July 1, 2010 (or, in each case, such later date as the Teamsters may determine). If we do not have sufficient free cash flow to satisfy these obligations and the capital markets are not available to refinance the obligations, we would not be able to refinance these existing notes. Accordingly, we have retained financial and legal advisors and have commenced discussions with certain holders of these and other outstanding debt securities in an effort to address these upcoming maturities.

Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Liquidity

Our ability to satisfy our future liquidity requirements isall subject to a numbersuccessful completion of risksthe Exchange Offer by the Exchange Offer Deadline. As our business reaches this seasonal low point, we will need access to the additional liquidity that these agreements and uncertainties as outlined below.facilities provide to fund our operations.

The Credit Agreement andIf we have not completed the ABS Facility each requires usExchange Offer prior to complythe Exchange Offer Deadline, we will continue to explore options to complete our restructuring out of court, including further discussions with a number of covenants. Any failure to comply with these covenants would impact our ability to access borrowingslenders under these facilities. As previously discussed, the Credit Agreement, Amendmentthe Teamsters, our multi-employer pension funds and other stakeholders. Among other things, these discussions could result in amendments to the Exchange Offer, which our lenders, the Teamsters and the ABS Amendment eliminated any minimum EBITDA requirements through September 30, 2009 and resetmulti-employer pension funds who are parties to the minimum EBITDA requirement forContribution Deferral Agreement would have to approve. The approval of these parties is beyond the fourth quarterCompany’s control. Other options could also arise out of 2009 and each quarter during 2010. Additionally, these amendments eliminateddiscussions; however, these options would require the minimum liquidity requirement for August 2009. This minimum liquidity requirement will resume atparticipation of our stakeholders or other third parties, none of which are within the $100 million level in September 2009. Company’s control.

If we failare unable to meetcomplete the Exchange Offer and address our minimumnear term liquidity requirement or our required EBITDA levels under our Credit Agreement and ABS Facility after these dates,needs as a result of any such discussions, we would needthen expect to seek relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company expects that any such filing for relief would occur after its orderly completion of planning and preparation for such a waiverfiling.

To successfully complete a restructuring in a bankruptcy case, we would require debtor-in-possession financing, the most likely source of which would be our existing lenders. If we were unable to obtain financing in a bankruptcy case or forbearance from our lendersany such financing was insufficient to fund operations pending the completion of a restructuring, there would be substantial doubt that the Company could complete a restructuring.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and lessors under our Credit Agreement, our ABS Facility and certain of our leases; otherwise our lenders and lessors could declare an event of default and accelerate our obligations thereunder. Ourliquidity to fund operations raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets carrying amounts or the amount of and classification of liabilities that maymight result from these and other significant uncertainties surrounding the Company’s ability to continue to meet it’s obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business.

As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $35.8 million of sale/leaseback transactions under contract that we expect to complete during the third quarter of 2009. In addition, we signed a contract with NATMI on August 7, 2009 for $81.4 million related to additional properties. The amount of actual dispositions and sale and financing leasebacks that we complete will be determined by the availability of capital and willing buyers and counterparties in the market and the outcome of discussions to enter intothis uncertainty.

The contingent convertible notes include a provision whereby the note holder can require immediate conversion of the notes if, among other things, that we enter into a bank amendment that is acceptable toreasons, the Teamsters. We are involved in ongoing discussions with our lenders regarding this amendment. If we fail to enter into such a bank amendment, the Teamsters may nullify the benefits of our recent modification to the collective bargaining agreement (including the wage reduction, temporary pension contribution cessation and related cost benefits).

Our forecasts include significant judgment and significant market risk that may or may not be realized. Items that contribute to these judgments and risks, many of which are beyond our control, include the actual duration of the U.S. recession and our related assumptions around economic outlook, the continued improvements in productivities and service for our YRC network and the return of customers shipments to that network, our ability to further reduce costs and our need for additional liquidity including liquidity from cash flows from operating activities and other liquidity enhancing initiatives (such as sale and leaseback type transactions) that may not materialize. Our forecasts are also dependentcredit rating on the factors listed incontingent convertible notes assigned by Moody’s is lower than B2 or if the introduction to MD&A and the risk factors listed in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Based upon this particular conversion right and based upon an assumed market price of our reporting segments, were present. We performed certain tests consistingstock of discounted cash flow models and determined that$1.25 per share, which approximates the lives assigned to certain customer relationships should be reduced to better align with actual attrition rates. This resulted in additional amortization expense of $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009.

Pension Contribution Deferral Obligations

On June 17, 2009, we entered into a Contribution Deferral Agreement with the Central States, Southeast, Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the “Central States Pension Fund”) whereby approximately $84.0 million of pension contributions originally due to the Central States Pension Fund on or before June 15, 2009 was converted to debt. Other Pension Funds to which we owed pension contributions of $49.2 million have also executed joinder agreements and are parties to the Contribution Deferral Agreement.

These amounts bear interest at the applicable interest rate set forth in the trust documentation that governs the Pension Fund and range from 4% to 18% as of June 30, 2009. The interest rate for the Central States Pension Fund representing the largest deferred amount is equal to prime plus two percent (5.25% at June 30, 2009). We remit interest payments monthly.

In exchange for the deferral of the obligations, we pledged identified real property to the Pension Funds so that the Pension Funds have a first priority security interest in certain of the identified real property and a second priority security interest in other identified real property located throughout the U.S. and Mexico.

We must prepay the obligations on a ratable basis to the Pension Funds (i) with the net cash proceeds from the sale of first priority collateral or (ii) to the extent that Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement as currently in effect) of the Company is greater than $250 million, an amount equal to such excess (the “Excess Amount”); provided, that, Liquidity shall be equal to $250 million after giving effect to such payment and no payment shall be required until the Excess Amount is equal to or great than $1 million at any time.

We made a payment of $4.7 million to reduce these obligations in June 2009 leaving a balance of $128.5 million as of June 30, 2009. Additional repayment amounts are required in thirty-six equal monthly installments commencing on January 15, 2010.

Contingent Convertible Senior Notes

In May 2008, the FASB issued ASC 470-20-65-1 relative to accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (formerly FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. This FSPguidance clarifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. We adopted the FSPthis guidance on January 1, 2009.

The transition provisions require that the FSPthis guidance be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on prior periods presented is recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented, with the offsetting adjustment to shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, we recognized a reduction in long-term debt of $11.0 million, an increase in deferred income taxes, net of $3.9 million, an increase in capital surplus of $15.0 million, and an increase in retained deficit of $7.9 million. Adoption of the FSPthis guidance also resulted in the recognition of additional interest expense of $0.8 million in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations for each of the three month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2008 and $1.6$2.3 million for each of the sixthree and nine month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2008.

8. Employee Benefits

7.Restructuring and Reorganization

During the first half of 2009, we closed 18 service centers that were previously a part of the Regional Transportation networks. As a part of this action, we incurred certain restructuring charges of approximately $7.9 million consisting of employee severance, lease cancellations and other incremental costs. Also during the first half of 2009, we integrated our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks into a single transportation network branded “YRC”. We incurred additional severance costs of $29.0 million, including $20.5 million in the National Transportation segment as we reduced headcount in response to both the YRC integration and lower volumes. Our National Transportation segment also recorded a $15.4 million charge consisting of contract and lease cancellations related to the YRC integration. Finally, our YRC Logistics segment recorded $5.0 million of severance and lease cancellation costs primarily in response to lower business levels.

We assess the accrual requirements under our restructuring efforts at the end of each reporting period. A rollforward of the restructuring accrual is set forth below:

Curtailment and Settlement Events

In 2008, we curtailed our defined benefit plans that cover approximately 14,000 employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. As a result of this action, the service cost for the pension plans was reduced in 2009 as compared to 2008. During the first halfthree quarters of 2009, lump sum benefit payments increased over the prior period and coupled with the reduced service cost resulted in a settlement chargescharge of $0.8$2.2 million and $5.8$8.0 million during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, respectively. These amounts are included in “Salaries, wages and employees’ benefits” in the accompanying statements of operations.

Effective Tax Rate

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 3.8% and 21.9%, respectively, compared to 7.2% and 7.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2009 rates include a state tax benefit, certain permanent items and a valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for year-end 2009. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

Uncertain Tax Positions

In 2008, the Company established for 2008 a reserve of approximately $115.5 million relative to YRC Assurance Company, Ltd. (the “Captive”). In 2009, the dissolution of the Captive has caused the uncertain tax position for 2008 to be reversed, thereby offsetting the reserve established for 2008. Total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits were $84.6 million and $199.8 million at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits are included in “Other current and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying balance sheets.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

On January 2, 2009, we awarded our non-union employees options to purchase up to an aggregate of 5.3 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to $3.34 per share. The options will vest at the rate of 25% per year and will expire in 10 years. The options were granted subject to shareholder approval, which was received on May 14, 2009 at our annual shareholder meeting.

On January 2, 2009, we also adopted a Non-Union Employee Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) Plan that awarded up to 5.3 million cash settled SARs. These SARs terminated on May 14, 2009, upon the shareholder approval of the Non-Union Employee Option Plan discussed above.

The fair value of each option award was estimated on the date the grant was approved by shareholders using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Expected volatilities were estimated using historical volatility of our common stock. We used historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior were considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted was derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

We valued the award granted under the Non-Union Employee Option Plan in 2009 using the above described model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

  2009

   —     —

   88.3   88.3

   1.6   1.6

Based on the above fair value calculation, we recognized compensation expense of $1.0$1.4 million related to these outstanding stock option awards for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 which is included in “Salaries, wages and employees’ benefits” in our accompanying statement of consolidated operations. Compensation expense will continue to be recognized ratably over the vesting period.

On February 12, 2009, we formalized a Union Employee Option Plan that provides for a grant of up to 11.4 million options to purchase our common stock at an exercise price equal to $3.74 per share. As a part of the union wage reduction, we agreed to award a certain equity interest to all effected union employees. These options vested immediately and are exercisable after a twelve month period beginning for a substantial majority of options in February 2009. These options were granted subject to shareholder approval, which was received on May 14, 2009, at our annual shareholder meeting.

On February 12, 2009, we also formalized the Union Employee Stock Appreciation Right Plan that provided for a grant of up to 11.4 million cash settled SARs. These SARs terminated on May 14, 2009 upon the shareholder approval of the Union Employee Option Plan discussed above.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2009, only 10.8 million stock options of the 11.4 million available had been distributed; accordingly, we recognized expense only on the outstanding stock options. This expense was recognized on the grant date as the options vested immediately versus over a period of time. Based on the fair value calculation above, we recognized compensation expense of $20.6 million related to these outstanding stock option awards for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, which is included in “Salaries, wages and employees’ benefits” in our accompanying statement of consolidated operations.

In August 2009, we agreed to establish an additional stock option plan (the “New Stock Option Plan”) for our union employees that provides for a grant of 20% of our outstanding shares on a fully diluted basis. These options are subject to certain conditions of acceptance between the Company and the union. Once these conditions are met, the options will be granted to our union employees and will have similar terms to those awarded under the Union Employee Option Plan formalized in February 2009, including immediate vesting and exercisable after a twelve month period beginning generallyexpected to begin in Augustthe fourth quarter of 2009. These options are subject to certain conditions of acceptance between the Company and the union and, subject to shareholder approval as a part of our annual shareholder meeting that traditionally occurs in May. If such acceptance and approval is not obtained, the options automatically terminate and an equal number of stock appreciate rights will be issued.

Effective Tax Rate11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was 16.2% and 25.6%, respectively, compared to 34.0% and 36.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Significant items impacting the 2009 rate include a state tax benefit, certain permanent items and a valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2009. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

Uncertain Tax Positions

In 2008, the Company established for 2008 a reserve of approximately $115.5 million relative to YRC Assurance Company, Ltd. (the Captive). In 2009, the ongoing dissolution of the Captive has caused the uncertain tax position for 2008 to be reversed, thereby offsetting the reserve established for 2008. Total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits were $83.9 million and $199.8 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Amounts recorded for unrecognized tax benefits are included in “Other current and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying balance sheets.

11.Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Dilutive securities, consisting of options to purchase our common stock or rights to receive common stock in the future, are usually included in our calculation of diluted weighted average common shares and dilutive securities related to our net share settle contingent convertible notes are also included in our calculation of diluted weighted average common shares; however, due to our net loss position for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2008, there are no dilutive securities for these periods. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, there were 894,000 dilutive securities consisting of options to purchase our common stock or rights to receive common stock in the future and 177,000 dilutive securities related to our net share settle contingent convertible notes.

Antidilutive options and share units were 17,510,00017,257,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, and 1,293,000 and 2,418,0002,356,000 for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, respectively.2008.

12. Business Segments

12.Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on operating income and return on committed capital.

We have four reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. National Transportation includes carriers that provide comprehensive regional, national and international transportation services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. YRC Logistics provides domestic and international freight forwarding, warehousing and cross-dock services, multi-modal brokerage services, and transportation management services. Truckload consists of Glen Moore, a domestic truckload carrier.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies note in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based on the direct benefits received or as a percentage of revenue. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents, investments in equity method affiliates and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments.

16.Guarantees of the Contingent Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2003, YRC Worldwide issued 5.0% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In November 2003, we issued 3.375% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In December 2004, we completed exchange offers pursuant to which holders of the contingent convertible senior notes could exchange their notes for an equal amount of new net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. Substantially all notes were exchanged as part of the exchange offers. In connection with the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes, the following 100% owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes: YRC Inc., YRC Worldwide Technologies, Inc., YRC Logistics, Inc., YRC Logistics Global, LLC, Globe.com Lines, Inc., Roadway LLC, and Roadway Next Day Corporation. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 with respect to the financial position, and for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2008 for results of operations and for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2008 for the statementsstatement of cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the contingent convertible senior notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABS agreement.

Three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased 44.6%45.1% during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 versus the same period in 2008 due to decreased revenue at all of our operating companies. This decline is attributed to both declines in volume over the comparable prior year quarter and declines in yield or price. Our volumes were impacted by multiple factors, most notably the economy and business diversion due to customer concerns surrounding our financial stability. The declines in yield are a factor of excess capacity in the transportation sector resulting in increased competition for lower freight volumes. Additionally, revenue was also negatively impacted by lower fuel surcharge revenue in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.

Consolidated operating revenue includes fuel surcharge revenue. Fuel surcharges are common throughout our industry and represent an amount that we charge to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods as there is a lag in the Company’s adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. Fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has blurred over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us and falling fuel costs are detrimental to us, in the short term.

ConsolidatedAbsent the impairment charge taken in September 2008, consolidated operating loss increased significantly during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 as compared to the operating income for the same period in 2008 and is reflective2008; however our operating results improved significantly from a sequential view of decreased operating revenue atthe three months ended September 30, 2009 versus the three months ended June 30, 2009. This improvement was reflected in all of our segments and is due to the increased union wage reduction from 10% to 15% effective in August 2009, the suspension of pension contributions and related expense for the majority of our Union Pension Funds effective throughout the quarter and improved operating companies. Significant volume declinesperformance, especially within our NationalRegional Transportation and Regional Transportation segments resulted in an operating loss of $299.7 million for the second quarter of 2009, a significantly larger reduction from the prior year’s comparable quarter operating income.YRC Logistics. Operating expenses for the 2009 quarter decreased $699.7$889.5 million as compared to the same period in 2008 and were comprised of a $319.8$479.9 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits, a $229.3$242.6 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies, a $117.9$139.4 million decrease in purchased transportation, which is attributable to declining volumes and improved carrier pricing due to the depressed economy, and a $27.3$25.5 million decrease in other operating expenses. These expense reductions however did not keep pace with the significant revenue decline resulting in the operating loss for the secondthird quarter of 2009. Additionally, in

Consolidated operating loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 the Company recorded reorganization and settlementincludes non-cash impairment charges of $2.4$823.1 million primarily relatedrepresenting a complete writeoff of goodwill associated with our National Transportation segment, the majority of goodwill associated with our YRC Logistics segment and reductions in the tradename values attributed to Roadway and Reimer Express Lines (a part of the closureNational Transportation segment) and USF (a part of 27 service centers in ourthe Regional Transportation segment. Similar closure costs occurred in 2009 within both National Transportation (primarily a result ofsegment). There were no impairment charges during the YRC integration) and Regional Transportation and are classified within the various expense captions as discussed below.three months ended September 30, 2009.

The decrease in salaries, wages and benefits in the secondthird quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 is largely due to a 15% wage reduction for the majority of our union employees and a 10% wage reduction for most union and non-union employees resulting in approximately a $72.1 millionemployees. The pension contribution cessation discussed above also favorably impacted benefit expense reduction in 2009 offset by increased workers’ compensation expense of $40.4 million due to unfavorable development of prior year claims and a higher frequency of claims in the current2009 period. Additionally, the decrease in salaries and benefits is a result of lower headcount in the current year due to lower volumes and the YRC integration efforts. The decrease in operating expenses and supplies is a result of lower fuel costs of 69.8%64.6%, due to lower diesel prices and reduced miles driven, lower vehicle maintenance of 33.4%35.8% partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $4.7 million or 50.3%, an increase in professional services of $22.6$8.7 million or 88.5%29.8% related to additional financial advisory services and costs associated with lease terminations of $12.5$6.6 million resulting from integration activities. Finally, the decrease in other operating expenses is largely due to the decrease in discretionary spend for travel and employee activities.

Our consolidated operating loss during the secondthird quarter of 2009 was offset by $1.0$11.1 million of net gains from the sale of property and equipment and the fair value adjustments for property and equipment held for sale versus $3.1compared to $15.5 million of lossesgains for the same period in 2008.

Nonoperating expenses consisted primarily of interest expense which continued to increase significantly in the secondthird quarter of 2009 over 2008. This increase is due to increased borrowings under our asset-backed securitization facility and credit facility as well as an increase in interest rates based on our amended credit facility terms, all of which resulted in additional interest of $14.3$13.4 million. The increase in interest expense is also attributable to increased net deferred debt cost amortization of $5.3$6.6 million and additional interest related to our lease financing obligations of $3.7$8.2 million and deferred pension obligations of $1.4$2.0 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009. Offsetting these 2009 increases was the reduction in interest expense of $4.9 million related to notes redeemed in November 2008. Nonoperating expenses in 2009 also included an impairment charge of $30.4 million related to our equity investment in Jiayu. This adjustment was required as the estimated current fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, was less than our investment. This was primarily a result of updated assumptions in the current model reflecting current depressed economic conditions primarily related to lower revenue growth rates versus that used in similar models at the time of the investment.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 was 16.2%3.8% compared to 34.0%7.2% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. Significant items impacting the 2009 rate include a state tax benefit, certain permanent items and a valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31,year-end 2009. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

SixNine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

Consolidated operating revenue decreased by 38.9%41.0% during the sixfirst nine months ended June 30,of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, which is reflective of decreased revenue at all of our operating companies. The decreased operating revenue is a result of lower volumes and yield across the operating companies as well as decreased fuel surcharge revenue.

Consolidated

Absent the impairment charge taken in September 2008, consolidated operating loss decreasedincreased significantly during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 as compared toversus the operating incomecomparable amount for the same period in 2008. Significant volume declines within our National Transportation and Regional Transportation segments resulted in an operating loss of $679.0$783.5 million for the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2009, a significantly larger operating loss from the prior year comparable period. Operating expenses for the first halfnine months of 2009 were down $1,103.7$1,993.2 million as compared to the same period in 2008

and were comprised of a $505.9$994.2 million decrease in salaries, wages and benefits, a $348.2$597.3 million decrease in operating expenses and supplies, a $197.0$336.4 million decrease in purchased transportation, which is attributable to declining volumes and improved carrier pricing due to the depressed economy, and a $35.3$61.4 million decrease in other operating expenses. These expense reductions however did not keep pace with the significant revenue decline resulting in the operating loss for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009. Additionally, in

Consolidated operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, include the Company recorded reorganization and settlementimpairment charge of $823.1 million previously disclosed. There were no similar impairment charges of $15.2 million primarily related toduring the closure of 27 service centers in our Regional Transportation segment. Similar closure costs occurred in 2009 within both National Transportation (primarily a result of the YRC integration) and Regional Transportation and are classified within the various expense captions as discussed below.nine months ended September 30, 2009.

The decrease in salaries, wages and benefits in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, is largely due to a 10% wage reduction for most union (increased to 15% effective August 2009) and non-union employees resulting in approximately a $162.1 million expense reduction in 2009 offset by increased workers’ compensation expense of $59.9$58.9 million due mostly to unfavorable development of prior year claims. Additionally, the decrease in salaries and benefits is a result of lower headcount in the current year due to lower volumes partially offset by increased severance benefits of $31.8$36.1 million and pension settlement costs of $5.8$8.0 million associated with one of our defined benefit plans. The decrease in operating expenses and supplies is a result of lower fuel costs of 64.8%64.7%, due to lower diesel prices and reduced miles driven, lower vehicle maintenance of 25.0%28.6% partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $15.9$16.6 million or 88.8%61.1%, an increase in professional services of $30.4$39.0 million or 64.1%51.1% and costs associated with lease terminations of $21.8$28.3 million resulting from integration activities. Finally, the decrease in other operating expenses is due to the decrease in discretionary spend for travel and employee activities.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, we recognized net lossesgains on the sale of property and equipment and the fair value adjustments for property and equipment held for sale of $0.6$10.6 million compared to lossesgains of $6.5$8.9 million for the same period in 2008.

Nonoperating expenses consisted primarily of interest expense and increased significantly for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 versus the comparable period in 2008. Increased borrowings and increased borrowing costs in 2009 resulted in increased interest expense of $24.5$37.9 million versus the comparable period in 2008. Interest expense in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, attributable to items that were not incurred in 2008, included expense related to lease financing obligations of $6.1$14.3 million and deferred pension obligations of $1.7$2.5 million. Amortization of deferred debt costs increased $9.1$15.7 million during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008. Offsetting these 2009 increases was the reduction in interest expense of $9.7$14.7 million related to notes redeemed in November 2008. Nonoperating expenses in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 also included an impairment charge of $30.4 million related to our investment in Jiayu. This adjustment was required as the estimated current fair value, using a discounted cash flow model, was less than our investment. This was primarily the result of different assumptions with respect to revenue growth rates from the initial valuation to those assumed in the current economic environment.

Our effective tax rate for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 was 25.6%21.9% compared to 36.1%7.8% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. Significant items impacting the 2009 rate include a state tax benefit, certain permanent items and a valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31,year-end 2009. We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we believe that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset.

National Transportation Results

National Transportation represented approximately 65% and 71% of our consolidated revenue in the third quarters of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and approximately 66% and 71% of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and approximately 67% and 70% of our consolidated revenue in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

National Transportation reported secondthird quarter 2009 operating revenue of $873.7$849.3 million, representing a decrease of $819.1$844.4 million or 48.4%49.9% from the secondthird quarter of 2008. The two primary components of operating revenue are volume, comprised of the number of shipments and the weight per shipment, resulting in tonnage, and price, usually evaluated on a per hundred weight basis. The decline in operating revenue was largely driven by a 39.4%43.3% decline in picked up tonnage per day. The decline in picked up tonnage per day was made up of a 37.1%39.9% decline in shipments per day and a 3.7%5.5% decline in weight per shipment.

The decline in shipments and tonnage resulted from a weakening economy and the diversion of freight by certain customers to other carriers. As the economy has continued to deteriorate, industry capacity is more readily available and market competition for available shipments has intensified. Additionally, we believe that certain customers diverted freight during the secondthird quarter of 2009 due to perceived uncertainty around our financial stability.

The decline in operating revenue was impacted further by a 14.2%an 11.5% decline in revenue per hundred weight. The decline in revenue per hundred weight was mostlyprimarily the result of lower fuel surcharge revenue and higher than normal revenue adjustments, primarily rerates, related to the transition to the integrated YRC National network. Lower fuel surcharge revenue is driven by substantially lower diesel fuel prices in the secondthird quarter of 2009 as compared to the prior year period.period and lower overall volume.

Operating loss for National Transportation was $239.5$122.0 million in the secondthird quarter of 2009 compared to operating incomeloss of $74.6$573.6 million in the prior year period.period which included a non-cash charge of $635.9 million relating to the impairment of goodwill and tradenames of Roadway and Reimer Express Lines. Absent this charge, operating income for National Transportation was $62.3 million in the third quarter of 2008. Revenue in 2009 was lower by $819.1$844.4 million while total costs decreased by only $505.0 million.$660.1 million in 2009 excluding the impact of the prior period impairment charge. The cost declines consisted primarily of lower salaries, wages and benefits of $242.4$367.5 million, lower operating expenses and supplies of $147.5$165.4 million, lower purchased transportation costs of $83.6$99.4 million, and lower other operating expenses of $24.2$27.8 million.

The decline in salaries, wages and benefits during the third quarter 2009 compared to the third quarter 2008 was due mostly to a decline in hourly wages and benefits of $259.4$376 million or 30.0% partially offset by higher workers’ compensation expense of $23.9 million.43.0%. The decline in salaries wages and benefitswages resulted from lower volume and the 10% pay reduction which took effect in 2009 for most union and non-union employees. Those costemployees and an additional 5% reduction for union employees which took effect in the third quarter of 2009. In addition to volume decreases, a further reduction in benefits expense resulted from the ratification by certain labor unions of a temporary cessation of pension contributions to the Pension Funds effective throughout the third quarter of 2009. These reductions were partially offset by higher costs associated with on-going contractual wage and benefit increases.severance charges in the third quarter of 2009 of $3.2 million, as compared to $4.3 million during the third quarter of 2008. The secondthird quarter of 2008 also included a curtailment gain of $34.5$61.1 million. The increase in workers’ compensation expense was due mostly to unfavorable development of prior year claims and a higher rate for claims in the current year.

Operating expenses and supplies declined mostly due to lower volumes, reduced facility and fleet size, and a decrease in fuel costs. Fuel and oil costs were 73.6%69.8% lower than the prior year. This decline was partially offset by higher costs associated with continuing YRC integration efforts including facility closure costs and relocation costs. Additionally, bad debt expense increased $6.7of $7.6 million or 103.8% induring the secondthird quarter of 2009 compared to the prior year period due to a continued increase of bankruptcies and similar credit risks in our customer base.2009.

The decline in purchased transportation in the third quarter 2009 versus the third quarter 2008 of 44.1% resulted primarily from lower volumes during the 2009 quarter. Rail costs were down 51.3%52.3% due to lower volume and substantially lower fuel surcharges compared to the prior year while externally purchased transportation costs were down 49.4%51.1%.

The decline in other operating expenses isin the third quarter 2009 versus the third quarter 2008 of 26.7% was due primarily to a decline in fuel taxes related to the lower cost of fuel and fewer miles driven, and lower claims, and insurance costs. General liability claims decreased $6.7 million mostly due to net favorable development of prior year claims while cargoreductions in terminals and fleet. Cargo claims expense decreased by $5.5$2.4 million due primarily to fewer shipments.shipments offset by higher claims experience. Depreciation declined by $3.5 million related to reduced facility and fleet size. The gain on disposal of property was $11.0 million in 2009 compared to $5.4 million in the comparable prior year period.

SixNine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

National Transportation revenue decreased $1,356.4$2,200.7 million or 41.7%44.5% in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 versus the same period in 2008. The decline in operating revenue was largely driven by a 34.6%38.0% decline in total picked up tonnage. As discussed in the quarterly results,above, these tonnage declines are primarily the result of a slowing economy and the diversion of freight in the current year due to perceived uncertainty around our financial stability as well as the integration of the Yellow and Roadway networks which was completed in March 2009.stability. We believe that the impact of freight diversion in the first sixnine months of 2009 is substantially greater than the impact in the same period in 2008 that resulted from uncertainty and timing around union labor negotiations. The decline in tonnage was impacted further by a 10.3%10.7% decrease in revenue per hundred weight resulting mostly from lower fuel surcharge revenue and higher than normal revenue adjustments, primarily rerates, related to the 2009 YRC network.network change.

Revenue decreased $1,356.4$2,200.7 million in the first halfnine months of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 while operating costs only decreased $749.9 million.$1,409.8 million, exclusive of the previously noted goodwill impairment charge incurred in 2008. The cost declines in 2009 consisted primarily of lower salaries, wages and benefits of $379.9$749.5 million, lower operating expenses &and supplies of $189.0$354.4 million, lower purchased transportation costs of $139.4$238.8 million, and lower other operating expenses of $31.1$67.2 million.

The decline in salaries, wages and benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period was as a result of lower volume, wage reductions previously discussed, and the 10% pay reductiontemporary cessation of pension contributions to the Pension Funds, but were partially offset by increased stock compensation expense of $16.1 million, increased workers’ compensation expense of $35.6$41.4 million, higher labor costs

associated with the initial implementation of the integrated network and higher costs related to annual contractual wage and benefit increases, and increased severance costs and increased pension settlement costs.of $17.8 million. The sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 included a curtailment gaingains of $34.5$95.5 million; no comparable amount was recorded in the current 2009 period.

Operating expenses and supplies declined during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period mostly due to lower volumes and a decrease in fuel costs. Fuel and oil costs were 67.4%68.3% lower than the prior year period. This decline was partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense of $18.6 million in the current year compared to prior period due to an increase of bankruptcies and credit risks in our customer base as well as higher costs associated with the YRC integration and bad debt expense as was discussed in the second quarter results.integration.

The decline in purchased transportation during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period resulted primarily from lower volumes during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to the comparable prior period. Rail costs were down 46.0%48.3% due to lower volume and substantially lower fuel surcharges compared to the prior year period while externally purchased transportation costs were down 42.8%45.7%.

The decline in other operating expenses isduring the nine months ended September 30, 2009 versus the comparable 2008 period was due primarily to a decline in fuel taxes of $14.9$26.2 million from the prior year period related to fewer miles driven, and lower cargo claims expense of $10.6$12.9 million mostly due to fewer shipments.shipments offset by higher claims experience, and lower depreciation of $7.1 million due to reduced facilities and fleet downsizing.

The gain on disposal of property was $0.4$11.4 million in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to a lossgain of $4.2$1.2 million in the comparable prior year period.

Three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $337.9$338.8 million for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, representing a decrease of $195.7$170.7 million, or 36.7%33.5% from the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. The decreased operating revenue was driven by lower business volumes and weaker pricing including lower fuel surcharge revenue. Total weight per day was down 26.4%25.4% in the secondthird quarter 2009, representing a 22.0%22.7% decline in total shipments per day and a 5.7%3.5% decline in total weight per shipment compared to last year’s quarter. Year-over-year shipment volumes were negatively impacted by a continued weak economy and the diversion of freight by our customers due to concernsuncertainty over our financial stability.

Total revenue per hundred weight decreased 11.9%12.2% in the secondthird quarter 2009 as compared to the secondthird quarter 2008, primarily due to lower fuel surcharge revenue associated with lower diesel fuel prices and continued market pricing pressure impacts on our base rates. A meaningful portion of our regional footprint is concentrated in the Upper Midwest where business levels and pricing negotiations have been especially difficult due to the economic challenges in this geographic area.

Operating lossincome for Regional Transportation was $48.3$0.3 million for the secondthird quarter 2009, compared to $2.1an $88.0 million operating loss for the third quarter 2008. The operating loss for the third quarter 2008 includes an impairment charge of $89.7 million related to the reduction in fair value of the USF tradename. Absent this charge, the $0.3 million operating income for the secondthird quarter 2009 would have been compared to operating income of $1.7 million for the third quarter 2008, consisting of a $195.7$170.7 million decline in revenue and a $145.3$169.3 million decrease in operating expenses. Regional Transportation has reduced most operating expenses in proportion to lower business volumes. Expense decreases in the secondthird quarter 2009 were in salaries, wages and benefits of $63.1$102.2 million, operating expenses and supplies of $66.1$54.9 million, purchased transportation of $10.8$8.2 million and other operating expenses of $5.0 million and reorganizations and settlements of $1.8 million. Expense increases in the second quarter 2009 were in depreciation and amortization of $0.3 million and gains/losses on property disposals of $1.3$7.8 million.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense decreased 19.4%32.1% reflecting lower employee levels and increased productivity as well as compensation and benefit reductions for most employees in Regional Transportation.

Regional Transportation incurred $2.9 million of severance and lease termination costs in the second quarter 2009 for the closure of five service centers at Holland in mid-June. These costs were recorded in salaries, wages and employees’ benefits expense and operating expenses and supplies expense. Reorganization costs in second quarter 2008 were $1.8 million related to additional costs from the closure of service centers at Holland and Reddaway during mid-February 2008. These costs consisted primarily of employee severance and facilities costs.

Depreciation and amortization was 1.5% higher primarily due to a change in the life of customer related intangible assets, partially offset by impacts from a smaller equipment fleet. LossesGains on property disposals were $0.6$0.2 million in secondthird quarter 2009 compared to a $0.7$3.9 million gain in secondthird quarter 2008.2008, primarily from the sale of terminal facilities.

Three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

In the secondthird quarter of 2009, YRC Logistics operating revenue was $101.8$102.4 million, a decrease of $58.0$62.9 million or 36.3%38.1% from the secondthird quarter of 2008. YRC Logistics recognized revenue declines in each of its service offerings as a result of the weakened economy and customer diversion.diversion due to concerns regarding our financial stability. Decreases in 2009 revenue for distribution services were caused

by deteriorating economic conditions in the retail sector and YRC Logistics’ decision to exit its domestic ocean service offering in June 2008.customer losses. Revenue declines in transportation services can be largely attributed to the depressed manufacturing sector. Global services revenue fell as shipment counts declined throughout the world from the poor global economic conditions.

YRC Logistics incurred angenerated operating lossincome of $8.0$6.3 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to an operating incomeloss of $1.9$90.6 million in the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008.

Operating income decreased by $0.6 million relatedfrom $6.9 million, absent the impairment charge, in the third quarter of 2008 to $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2009. YRC Logistics experienced a settlement. The three months ended June 30, 2009 also includes a $1.6$1.7 million increasedecrease in workers’ compensation expense compared to the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 primarily related to a favorable reserve adjustment related to a specific claim and $0.4 million of employee severance due to headcount reductions. Overall salaries, wages and employees’ benefits decreased 20.7% during the threeclaim.

Nine months ended June 30, 2009 versus the year ago period as head count reductions lagged the volume declines. This relationship was offset by a 41.9% decrease in purchased transportation during the three months ended June 30, 2009 versus the year ago period that is attributed to decreased volumes and more competitive carrier rates due to the excess capacity in the market.

Six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

In the first half of 2009, YRC Logistics revenue decreased by $95.7$158.6 million or 30.9% from33.4% for the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. YRC Logistics recognized revenue declines in 2009 in each of its service offerings as overall business volumes continued to erode as a result of the global recession. Sluggish conditions in the retail sector, certain customer losses and YRC Logistics’ decision to exit its domestic ocean service offering in June 2008 were the main drivers behind the decline in revenue for the distribution services group. A continued weak manufacturing and construction sector largely attributed to revenue declines in the transportation services group. Poor global economic conditions, especially Europe and Asia, resulted in lower volumes and shipment counts in the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2009 causing global services revenue to decline.

Absent this charge, operating income decreased from $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to a loss of $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease reflects a 30.9%33.4% reduction in revenue and a 27.0%31.2% reduction in expenses as compared to the 2008 period.

Three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

Truckload reported operating revenue of $27.5$29.9 million for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, representing a decrease of $4.0$3.4 million or 12.6%10.1% from the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. The two primary components of truckload operating revenue are volume, comprised of the miles driven, and price, usually evaluated on a revenue per mile basis. Total miles driven per day were up 13.1%10.4% in the secondthird quarter 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 due primarily to higher use of Truckload services by YRC Worldwide operating companies as they shifted certain line haul miles from rail providers to road service partially offset by the soft economy. However, revenue per mile was down 22.1%19.9%, due primarily to lower fuel surcharge revenue associated with lower diesel fuel prices.

Operating loss for Truckload was $2.4$1.4 million for the secondthird quarter 2009, an improvement of $1.5 million fromflat with the secondthird quarter of 2008, consisting of a $4.0$3.4 million decrease in revenue and a $5.5$3.4 million decrease in operating expenses. Expense decreases were primarily in the areas of fuel (lower diesel prices partially offset by higher miles driven which consumed more gallons), driver recruiting, purchased transportation, equipment depreciation and losses on equipment disposals.bodily injury and property damage claims. Increased operating expenses were primarily volume related higher wages and benefits costs of $1.5 million.$1.3 million and higher vehicle maintenance costs.

SixNine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 compared to sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008

Truckload reported operating revenue of $53.5$83.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, representing a decrease of $3.6$6.9 million or 6.2%7.6% from the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008. Total miles driven per day were up 14.5%increased 13.1% in the first sixnine months of 2009 as compared to 2008 due primarily to higher use of Truckload services by YRC Worldwide operating companies partially offset by the soft economy. However, revenue per mile was down 17.8%18.6%, due primarily to lower fuel surcharge revenue associated with lower diesel fuel prices.

Operating loss for Truckload was $4.6$6.0 million for the first halfnine months of 2009, an improvement of $4.4 million from the first halfnine months of 2008, consisting of a $3.6$6.9 million decrease in revenue and an $8.0$11.3 million decrease in operating expenses. Expense decreases were primarily in the areas of fuel (lower diesel prices partially offset by higher miles driven which consumed more gallons), driver recruiting, purchased transportation, equipment depreciation, bodily injury and property damage claims and losses on equipment disposals. Increased operating expenses were primarily volume related higher wages and benefits costs of $3.7 million.$5.0 million and higher vehicle maintenance costs.

Financial Condition

Liquidity

The current economic recession and the lingering tight credit market resulting from the global financial crisis continueenvironment continues to have a dramatic effect on our industry. The current recessionaryThis economic environment continues to negatively impact our customers’ needs to ship and, therefore, negatively impacts the volume of freight we service and the price we receive for our services. As a result, we continue to experience lower year-over-year revenue (primarily a function of declining volume), operating losses and significant operating losses. In addition, we believe that some of our customers have reduced their shipments with us to mitigate the risks of integration of our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks. We experienced these reduced shipment levels to a greater extent in March 2009 and for a longer period extending into the second quarter than we anticipated when planning the integration of our networks. As a result, our financial results for the second quarter have fallen short of our previous expectations. As our service has improved from the March 2009 integration, our shipment volumes have stabilized, we have added new customers to our networks and have increased our volumes with certain existing customers during the second quarter. Although many of our customers have returned their business to us, this business has not returned as quickly as we had anticipated.negative cash flow. In addition, we believe that many of our existing customers have

reduced their business with us during the last couple of quarters due to the uncertaintytheir concerns regarding our financial condition. As a result, these concerns have had an adverse effect on our revenues, results of operations and liquidity.

As a part of our comprehensive plan, we have executed on a number of significant initiatives during 2009 to respond to these conditions, which are described more fully below. In March 2009, we completed the integration of our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks into one service network, now branded “YRC”. Since the integration, our service has improved to a level above pre-integration. As we continue to improve our service and stabilize our financial condition, we anticipate the return of the shipping volume from these customers. However, we cannot predict how quickly and to what extent thesethis volume will return. On a sequential basis, as compared with the second quarter, our operating revenue decreased 1.6% due to modestly declining volumes, will return.but our operating results improved by approximately $182 million, and our operating cash flows improved by $77 million. Sequential improvements were aided by successful cost and liquidity actions within our comprehensive plan which we discuss below.

Operating Performance and Cash Flow Improvement ActivitiesComprehensive Plan

a longer-term amendment to our Credit Agreement (defined below) to provide us greater access to the liquidity that our revolving credit facility provides and the deferral of interest and fees that we pay to our lenders, subject to the conditions that the amended Credit Agreement requires. See “— Credit Agreement Amendments” below.

an agreement with our Teamster multi-employer pension funds to defer the payment of interest on our deferred obligations, and to defer the beginning of installment payments of previously deferred contributions, in each case, subject to the conditions that the CDA Amendment (defined below) requires.

Certain of these actions are further described below. The final execution of our plan has certain risks that we are not able to completely control which may adversely impact our liquidity. See “Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity” below.

YRC Integration

In March 2009, we completed the integration of our Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks into one service network, now branded “YRC”. Since the integration, our service (both on-time deliveries and reduced claims) has improved to a level above pre-integration. In addition, productivity measurements for city pick up and delivery labor, dock labor, and load average in our line haul operation have also improved since the integration. During the integration, we believe that many of our customers reduced their shipments with us to mitigate their risks from our integration. As our service has improved from the March 2009 integration, many of these customers are now returning their shipping volumes to us and we have added new customers. However, these volumes have not returned as quickly as we had anticipated. We cannot predict how quickly and to what extent these volumes will return. As a result of the successful integration, we have been able to implement a number of significant cost savings actions, including reducing the number of terminals, reducing headcount and decreasing our fleet size. We will implement further cost saving measures in the event thatif we experience further declines in shipping volume.

Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Modification

OnIn August 7, 2009, the employees in most of our employeesbargaining units who are represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the “Teamsters”) ratified a modification to our collective bargaining agreement. The modification provides (among other things) the following:

 

a temporary cessation of the requirement for the Company’s subsidiaries to make contributions on behalf of most of the Company’s Teamster represented employees to the Pension Fundsunion multi-employer pension funds from July 2009 through December 31, 2010. These contributions will not need to be repaid in the future and, therefore, will be a cost reduction during this period;period

 

a 15% wage reduction (which includes the 10% wage reduction previously implemented in January 2009) for most of the Company’s Teamster represented employees;employees

 

a reduction in the increase in contributions to multiemployer health and welfare plans from $1.00 per hour to $0.20 per hour that are scheduled foroccurred on August 1, 2009 and to $0.40 per hour for thosethat is scheduled for August 1, 2010;2010

 

the establishment of a stock option plan for participating union employees, providing for options to purchase an additional 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as if all outstanding stock options were exercised on the date the plan is established. This plan is required to be on terms substantially similar to the plan created in January 2009, when the first 10% wage reduction was implemented. These options are expected to be granted immediately following a successful completion of the Exchange Offer (and any associated reverse stock split substantially contemporaneous with the Exchange Offer)

2009, when the first 10% wage reduction was implemented, including the requirement that the Company’s shareholders approve the plan. If the Company’s shareholders do not approve the plan, the participating union employees would receive stock appreciation rights on similar terms. The stock option grants will occur on the date the Teamsters certify to the Company that the Company has entered into an amendment to its Credit Agreement that is acceptable to the Teamsters and the date that the Company certifies to the Teamsters there exists no event or condition which constitutes a default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or which upon notice, lapse of time or both would, unless cured or waived, become or lead to such a default.

on or before September 6, 2009, subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors and the Company’s bank group, the Company is required to appoint an officer with authority to coordinate and oversee the Company’s continued recovery efforts. This officer will be the same officer as discussed under “Credit Agreement Amendment – Designated Officer” below.

during the period in which the temporary pension contribution cessation is in effect, subject to the approval of the Company’s board of directors, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, the Company is required to appoint a director that the Teamsters nominate. This person has not yet been nominated.

As with prior ratification elections, a small number of the bargaining units representing less than 10% of our Teamster employees did not yetinitially ratify the labor agreement modifications.modifications on August 7, 2009. The Company and the Teamsters expect to addresshave since addressed employee concerns and most of these units have these smallereither subsequently ratified the modifications or have merged or will merge with other bargaining units reconsiderthat have previously ratified the modificationsmodifications. A small number of bargaining units representing less than 4% of our Teamster employees, mostly Reddaway employees or Reimer employees in Canada continue to consider the near future. If thesemodifications. These units do not approve the modification, they will continue under their current collective bargaining agreements without additional modification. Absent ratification, among other obligations, the Company would remain obligated to make contributions for these employees to the applicable Pension Funds. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company was obligated to make approximately $2.1 million in average monthlyimpact contributions to U.S. multi-employer pension funds, as the Pension Funds for these non-ratifying units. Certain of the smaller Pension Funds (primarily in the Northeast) to which the Company contributes terminated the Company’s participation in these Pension Funds in advance of the ratification of the labor agreement modifications. With respect to the non-ratifying bargaining units, if these units do not subsequently ratify the modifications, the Company and these Pension Funds will need to agree to amend the termination notices to allow these units to continue togenerally participate in the Pension Funds to avoid withdrawal liability.these funds.

Credit Agreement AmendmentFacilities

On July 30, 2009, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 9 toOur primary liquidity vehicles, the Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”), which amends certain ofand the provisions ofABS Facility are collectively referred to herein as the Credit Agreement.“credit facilities”. The Credit Agreement continues to provide us with a $950 million senior revolving credit facility, including sublimits available for borrowings under certain foreign currencies and for letters of credit, and a senior term loan in an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately $111.5 million. Unless otherwise noted, all referencesThroughout 2009, we have entered into various waivers and amendments in respect of our credit facilities to provide additional liquidity and to provide relief to the Company’s covenants under the credit facilities.

Credit Agreement Amendments

On October 9, 2009, and October 27, 2009, the Company entered into Amendments Nos. 11 and 12, respectively, to our Credit Agreement. The following discusses certain aspects of these amendments.

— Revolver Reserve Amount

During 2009, the Company has sold certain of its assets, generally excess real estate and real estate that the Company has sold and leased back from the buyer. Much of the excess real estate has been available for sale due to the Company’s integration of its Yellow Transportation and Roadway networks and the Company’s cost reductions that the Company has undertaken in response to its volume declines. Prior to Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, give effectthe Credit Agreement provided that a portion of the net proceeds from the Company’s sales of real estate was placed into a revolver reserve. The Credit Agreement only permitted the Company to borrow from the revolver reserve if 66 2/3% of the Lenders voted in favor of the borrowing. The amount in the revolver reserve is part of, and not in addition to, the $950 million credit facility that the Credit Agreement provides. The revolver reserve effectively “blocks” the Company from borrowing on that portion of the Credit Facility until the conditions to borrowing to access the blocked amount are met. Prior to Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, Amendment. Set forth below is a summary ofany amounts in the principal terms ofrevolver reserve that were not borrowed by October 29, 2009 would have permanently reduced the revolving credit commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement Amendment.

Financial Covenants

The Credit Agreement Amendment suspends the requirement that the Company maintains liquidity equal to or greater than $100 million at all times until September 1, 2009. In addition, the Credit Agreement Amendment amends the minimum consolidated EBITDA negative covenant:

(a)by including an add back to consolidated EBITDA of the Company and its subsidiaries of up to $14 million for certain restructuring charges for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2009, of up to $8 million for certain restructuring charges for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2010 and of up to $5 million for certain restructuring charges for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010; and

(b)by resetting minimum Consolidated EBITDA amounts and test dates as follows:

Period

  Minimum
Consolidated EBITDA

For the fiscal quarter ending on December 31, 2009

  $15,000,000

For the fiscal quarter ending on March 31, 2010

  $20,000,000

For the two consecutive fiscal quarters ending on June 30, 2010

  $80,000,000

For the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2010

  $145,000,000

For the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2010

  $210,000,000

Revolver Reserve Amount

The Credit Agreement Amendment extends the date uponfrom October 29, 2009 to January 1, 2012 (or such later date as may be agreed to by 66 2/3% of the lenders) on which the revolving commitments will be permanently reduced by the revolver reserve amount, subject to early termination upon a Deferral Termination Event (defined below) so long as the Recapitalization Transaction (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is completed and the CDA Amendment (defined below) is effective. The Exchange Offer, as presently contemplated (and described below in “Contemplated Exchange Offer”), would meet the definition in the Credit Agreement of a Recapitalization Transaction. On November 5, 2009, the CDA Amendment became effective. However, if the Exchange Offer is not completed on or before December 16, 2009 (or such later date as may be agreed to by 66 2/3% of the lenders, the “Exchange Offer Deadline”), the revolving commitments will be permanently reduced by an amount equal to the then current Revolver Reserve Amount (as defined below) to September 1, 2009.

Asset Sale Mandatory Prepaymentrevolver reserve amount on that date.

PursuantAmendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement bifurcated the revolver reserve amount into two blocks: the existing revolver reserve block and the new revolver reserve block.

The existing revolver reserve block is $106 million and will not increase above that amount. Until the earlier of the completion of the Exchange Offer and the Exchange Offer Deadline, the Credit Agreement Amendment the asset sale mandatory prepayment provision was amendedcontinues to no longer requireprovide the Company access to include any$50 million of the existing revolver reserve block at any time for specified operating needs (“Permitted Interim Loans”). Access to the remaining existing revolver reserve block (and any portion of the $50 million of the existing revolver reserve block that could be, but is not, borrowed prior to the completion of the Exchange Offer) is subject to borrowing conditions, including (among others) the following:

after giving effect to each borrowing, unrestricted Permitted Investments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are less than or equal to $125 million (or, $100 million to the extent that any Permitted Interim Loans are outstanding)

completion of the Exchange Offer

either

the Company meets certain specified minimum weekly operating thresholds based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and maintains certain monthly selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense amounts below specified maximum thresholds or

66 2/3% of the lenders approve the borrowing

The new revolver reserve block was approximately $8.7 million at October 27, 2009 and will be increased by mandatory prepayments of net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and any excess cash flow sweeps. The Company may access the new revolver reserve block after the existing revolver reserve block has been fully borrowed, subject to the same borrowing conditions applicable to the existing revolver reserve block, except that the Company must obtain the approval of 66 2/3% of the lenders rather than complying with the minimum weekly operating EBITDA thresholds and maximum SG&A monthly expense amounts.

— Interest and Fee Deferrals

Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement provides that the lenders will defer revolver and term loan interest, letter of credit fees and commitment fees for the period:

beginning upon the completion of the Exchange Offer and

ending on December 31, 2010, subject to an extension until December 31, 2011 if agreed to by 66 2/3 % of the lenders.

— Deferral Exceptions and Termination Events

There are exceptions and termination events with respect to the interest and fee deferral described above, including (among others) the following:

no further interest and fees will be deferred and all previously deferred amounts will become payable at the direction of a majority of the lenders, upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including (among others) the following, unless 66 2/3% of the lenders agree otherwise (each, a “Deferral Termination Event”):

the modification to our collective bargaining agreement (described above in “— Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Ratification”) terminates or is amended or otherwise modified (including, by the operation of any “snapback” or similar provisions) in any way that is adverse to the Company or the Lenders in a manner that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in an impact of greater than $5 million in any calendar year;

the Company amends or otherwise modifies the Contribution Deferral Agreement and related agreements in any way that is adverse to the Company or the lenders; or

on or after completion of the Exchange Offer, the Company makes any cash payment of any pension fund obligations and any interest thereon that the Company deferred in 2009 under the Contribution Deferral Agreement other than:

payments of proceeds resulting from the sale of real property that collateralizes the deferred pension obligations and which the pension funds have a first $50lien; or

payments of permitted fees and expenses.

no further interest and fees will be deferred upon any cash payment (other than payments described in the preceding bullets) of any pension fund liabilities (and any interest thereon) due prior to December 31, 2011 other than certain permitted payments, including payments to the Company’s single employer pension plans that are required to be made pursuant to ERISA and payments to certain multiemployer pension plans (each, a “Deferral Suspension Event”). Any deferred interest and fees will not become due and payable solely as a result of a Deferral Suspension Event.

commencing on January 1, 2011,

if after giving effect to an interest or fee payment on the applicable interest or fee payment date, the Available Interest Payment Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) on the interest or fee payment date would be equal to or greater than $150 million, the Company must make such payment in full in cash on such interest or fee payment date and

to the extent that the Available Interest Payment Amount on any business day exceeds $225 million, the Company must apply the excess over $225 million to pay previously deferred interest and fees.

— Mandatory Prepayments

Under the Credit Agreement, as amended, we are obligated to make mandatory prepayments on an annual basis of any excess cash flow and upon the receipt of net cash proceeds from certain asset sales and the issuance of equity and if we have an average liquidity amount for the immediately preceding five business days in excess of $250 million. The percentage of net cash proceeds received and the manner in which they are applied varies as set forth in greater detail in the Credit Agreement.

Asset Sales

The Credit Agreement, as amended, allows us to receive up to $400 million of net cash proceeds from asset sales in 2009 and $200 million of net cash proceeds from asset sales in 2010, which limits do not include net cash proceeds received from certain asset sales, including the following:

the sale of real estate asset salesthat constitutes first lien collateral of the pension funds pursuant to the Contribution Deferral Agreement

the initial sale and lease back transaction completed with NATMI in the first half of 2009, and

permitted dispositions approved by a majority of the lenders.

In addition, after Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement, we can only consummate sale and leaseback transactions if

a majority of our bank lenders approve the transactions or

such transactions were approved by the bank lenders in connection with Amendment effective date until September 1, 2009No. 12.

The Company expects to close approximately $50 million of approved sale leaseback transactions in the Revolver Reserve Amount,fourth quarter of 2009. See “—Lease Financing Transactions”. The closing of these sale leaseback transactions is subject to:to the satisfaction of normal and customary due diligence and related conditions, including the right of each buyer to terminate its obligation in its sole discretion during the inspection period, which conditions may be outside of the Company’s control.

— Financial Covenants

Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement eliminated the previous requirement that the Company maintain certain leverage and interest coverage ratios. In addition, Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement eliminated minimum consolidated EBITDA level requirements for the fourth quarter of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. Finally, Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement reset certain requirements that the Company maintain minimum consolidated EBITDA and maximum capital expenditure levels, as follows:

 

(a)in the case of the first $20 million of net cash proceeds received, no restrictions;

Teamster Approval of the respective net cash proceeds,Credit Agreement

The August 2009 modification to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters requires, among other things, that we enter into a bank amendment that is acceptable to the Teamsters. The Teamsters National Freight Industry Negotiating Committee (“TNFINC”) certified to us that Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement was satisfactory to the Teamsters, subject to the following conditions:

the Exchange Offer shall have occurred on or before the Exchange Offer Deadline

immediately following the Exchange Offer (including any reverse stock split contemplated thereby and contemporaneous therewith) the Company issues options to purchase 20% of the common stock of the Company as the modification to the collective bargaining agreement requires

if the Company requests a borrowing or letter of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement under circumstances where 66 2/3% of the lenders must approve the borrowing or letter of credit, then 50%66 2/3% of such proceeds will be placed in an escrow account until that condition is satisfied, at which time the escrow amount will be released. Iflenders do so approve the conditions are not satisfied before August 30, 2009, then any amount retained in borrowing or letter of credit

ABS Facility AmendmentAmendments and Renewal

On July 30,October 27, 2009, we also amended our ABS Facility. The ABS Facility amendments extended the Company and the other parties thereto entered into Amendment No. 7 toexpiration of the ABS Facility (the “ABS Amendment”). from February 11, 2010 to October 26, 2010;providedthat, if the Exchange Offer is not completed by the Exchange Offer Deadline, the ABS Facility will expire on February 11, 2010.

The ABS Amendment amendsFacility amendments have amended certain Trigger Events (as defined in the ABS Facility) to make the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the ABS Facility) and maximum capital expenditure requirements consistent with the Credit Agreement. The ABS Amendment also amends specified provisions with respect to the Liquidity Notification Date (as defined in the ABS Facility) consistent with the See “Credit Agreement.Agreement Amendments – Financial Covenants” above. In connection with the ABS Facility Amendment, the Company paid fees to each participating co-agentaddition, certain calculations under the ABS Facility in an amount equalwere amended to 0.50%reduce the impact of certain negative effects that the integration of Yellow Transportation and Roadway has had on those calculations, due to rating adjustments and the timing of customer payments. As a result of the Group Limit (as defined inamendments, the obligation to repay outstanding amounts under the ABS Facility) applicableFacility due to those integration effects has been reduced or eliminated. The

Co-Agents under the ABS Facility have completed preliminary work to verify the related integration adjustments; however, further substantiation by the Co-Agents as part of their annual audit of the ABS Facility is required. This audit must be completed by November 30, 2009.

The ABS Facility amendments also reduced the aggregate commitments under the ABS Facility from $500 million to $400 million and reduced the letter of credit facility sublimit from $105 million to $84 million. The Company believes that co-agent.the impact of this reduction will not affect the Company’s liquidity because the $400 million commitment level is sufficient given the Company’s current level of accounts receivable underlying the ABS Facility.

Upon completion of the Exchange Offer, the Co-Agents under the ABS Facility have also agreed to defer most of the fees during the term of the ABS Facility. This includes the $10 million fee that was originally due on September 30, 2009, prior to the ABS Facility amendments.

Lease Financing Transactions

We have entered into several lease financing transactions with various parties, including NATMI and Estes. The underlying transactions included providing title of certain real estate assets to the issuer in exchange for agreed upon proceeds; however, the transactions did not meet the accounting definition of a “sale leaseback” and as such, the assets remain on our balance sheet and long-term debt (titled Lease Financing Obligations) is reflected on our balance sheet in the amount of the proceeds. We are required to make annual lease payments, which are recorded as principal and interest payments under these arrangements.

As previously discussed,revolver reserve amount (now known as the existing revolver reserve block after the Credit Agreement Amendment amended, among other things, the terms of the asset sale mandatory prepayment provision through August 31,amendments) equal to $102 million at September 30, 2009. Thereafter, unless otherwise amended, our

The Credit Agreement will require therequires any net proceeds from certain real estate asset sales (other than approximately $117 million in net cash proceeds received in the initial sale and leaseback transaction completed with NATMI in the first half of 2009 and sales of real estate on which the pension funds have a first priority security interest under the Contribution Deferral Agreement) received on or after January 1, 2009 to be applied as follows:

Amendment No. 12 to the Credit Agreement requires that the prepayments (using the applicable prepayment percentage) described above shall be applied (i) first, to repay any outstanding Permitted Interim Loans; (ii) second, to repay any outstanding loans (or to cash collateralize any letters of credit) from the new revolver reserve block; (iii) third, to repay any outstanding loans (or to cash collateralize any letters of credit) from the existing revolver reserve block; and (iv) fourth, to repay any other outstanding revolver loans (or to cash collateralize any other letters of credit) and increase the new revolver reserve amount by such prepayment amount. Prior to Amendment No. 12, the revolver reserve amount (now known as the existing revolver reserve amount) was increased by 50% of the net cash proceeds received in 2009 from real estate asset sales subject to the above prepayment requirements, except for approximately $48 million of such net cash proceeds received in August 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had received approximately $252 million of net cash proceeds from real estate assets sales subject to the above prepayment requirements.

Pension Contribution Deferral Obligations

On June 17, 2009, weWe have entered into a Contribution Deferral Agreement with the Central States, Southeast, Southwest Areas Pension Fund (the “Central States Pension Fund”)26 union multi-employer pension funds, which provide retirement benefits to certain of employees, whereby approximately $84.0 million of pension contributions originally due to the Central States Pension Fund on or before June 15, 2009funds were converted to debt. All other Pension FundsAt September 30, 2009, $141.8 million of deferred contributions were subject to which we such owed pension contributionsthe terms of $49.2 million have also executed joinder agreements and are parties to the Contribution Deferral Agreement. In addition, we have deferred our Julycertain additional pension contributions of $30.1$22.7 million which relate to June hours,these pension funds, and are working with each Pension Fundthe applicable fund to execute additional joinder agreements to add these amounts to the Contribution Deferral Agreement. At JuneSeptember 30, 2009, these amounts related to Junepension contributions for union employee hours worked prior to the cessation of contributions that the modification to the collective bargaining agreement provides. See “—Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Modification”above.These amounts are classified as “Wages, vacations and employees’ benefits” in our consolidated balance sheet.

TheseThe deferred amounts bear interest at the applicable interest rate set forth in the trust documentation that governs the Pension Fundeach pension fund and range from 4% to 18% as of JuneSeptember 30, 2009.

On November 5, 2009, we entered into an amendment to the Contribution Deferral Agreement (the “CDA Amendment”).

— Amortization and Interest Deferral

Prior to the CDA Amendment, outstanding deferred pension payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement were to be paid to the funds in thirty-six equal monthly installments payable on the 15th day of each calendar month commencing on January 15, 2010 (each a “CDA Amortization Payment”) and interest payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement (each a “CDA Interest Payment”) were required to be made to the funds in arrears on the fifteenth day of each calendar month.

The CDA Amendment provides that upon the completion of the Exchange Offer on or prior to Exchange Offer Deadline (so long as the lenders under the Credit Agreement do not permanently reduce revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement as a result of reducing the revolver reserve amount), all CDA Amortization Payments and CDA Interest Payments due from the date the completion of the Exchange Offer through the end of 2010 shall be deferred until December 31, 2011;provided, that the CDA Amortization Payments and CDA Interest Payments will become due at the election of the majority of the pension funds on December 31, 2010 if 90% of the pension funds do not approve a continuation of the deferral of CDA Amortization Payments and CDA Interest Payments for calendar year 2011. In addition, all deferred interest rate forand amortization payments will become payable at the Central States Pension Fund representingelection of the largestmajority of the pension funds and no new amounts may be deferred upon the earliest to occur of:

any Deferral Termination Event (as defined in the Credit Agreement);

certain events of default; and

the amendment, modification, supplementation or alteration of the Credit Agreement that imposes any mandatory prepayment, commitment reduction, additional interest or fee or any other incremental payment to the Lenders under the Credit Agreement not required as of the effective date of the CDA Amendment unless the pension funds receive a proportionate additional payment in respect of the deferred pension obligations at the time an additional payment to the lenders under the Credit Agreement is required pursuant to the terms of the amendment, modification, supplementation or alteration. For the avoidance of doubt, granting of consent by the lenders under the Credit Agreement to permit an asset sale shall not by itself trigger the provision described in the prior sentence.

— Mandatory Prepayments

The CDA Amendment amends the mandatory prepayment provision tied to liquidity to provide that the Company will only be required to prepay obligations under the Contribution Deferral Agreement if the liquidity of the Company and its subsidiaries is greater than $250 million after deducting any amount due under the Credit Agreement by virtue of the Credit Agreement liquidity mandatory prepayment (as described in the Credit Agreement Amendment section above);provided that such prepayment obligation does not arise unless and until the excess liquidity amount is equal to prime plus two percent. We remit interest payments monthly.or greater than $1 million at any time.

In— Collateral

As part of the Contribution Deferral Agreement, in exchange for the deferral of the contribution obligations, we pledged identified real property to the Pension Fundspension funds so that the Pension Fundspension funds have a first priority security interest in certain of the identified real property and a second priority security interest in other identified real property located throughout the U.S. and Mexico.

We mustare required to prepay the deferred obligations on a ratable basis to the Pension Funds (i) with the net cash proceeds from the sale of first priority collateral or (ii) to the extent that Liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement)we sell any of the Company is greater than $250first lien property pledged to the pension funds with the net proceeds from the sale. We have made payments of $15.4 million an amount equalpursuant to such excess (the “Excess Amount”); provided that Liquidity must be equal to $250 million after giving effect to such payment and no payment shall be required until the Excess Amount is equal to or great than $1 million at any time.

We made a payment of $4.7 millionsales to reduce theseour obligations in Juneto the pension funds during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 leaving a balance of $128.5$141.8 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2009. Additional repayment amounts are required in thirty-six equal monthly installments commencing on January 15, 2010.

As we sold certain assets, we used the net cash proceeds to reduce the outstanding revolving loan balance. The amended Credit Agreement provides that we create the revolver reserve anblock with a certain accumulated portion of the net cashthose proceeds, from certain asset sales (the “Revolver Reserve Amount”), which amount reduces our revolving creditavailable capacity under the revolver on a dollar-for-dollar basis unless certain conditions are satisfied. As a result of this provision, the available capacity of our overall availabilityrevolver was reduced by $94.7$102.2 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2009.

YRC Assurance Co. Ltd. (“YRC Assurance”) was the Company’s captive insurance company domiciled in Bermuda and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of YRC Worldwide. YRC Assurance insured certain of our subsidiaries for certain of their respective self-insured obligations for workers’ compensation liabilities. Certain qualifying investments were made by YRC Assurance as required by Bermuda regulations. These investments included purchasing a position in the underlying receivables supporting our ABS Facility. As a result, as shown in the table above, our capacity under the ABS Facility was reduced by YRC

Assurance’s investment in receivables of $221.0 million at December 31, 2008. Our Credit Agreement required us to cease the participation of YRC Assurance in the ABS Facility. We have complied with this requirement, and YRC Assurance is in the process of beingwas dissolved. As a result of these transactions, the operating companies who received insurance from YRC Assurance are now self-insured for their workers’ compensation liabilities.

Contemplated Exchange Offer

The Company intends to launch the Exchange Offer based upon terms discussed with representatives of a committee of the holders of its contingent convertible notes and a committee of the holders of its USF 8 1/2% notes (collectively the “Notes”). The successful completion of this exchange would allow the Company access to the existing revolver reserve and to begin deferring payment of lender interest and fees under its recently amended Credit Agreement and ABS Facility and to begin deferring the CDA Interest Payments and CDA Amortization Payments under the Contribution Deferral Agreement. See “Credit Agreement Amendments”, “ABS Facility Amendments” and “Pension Contribution Deferral Obligations” above.

In the aggregate and with full participation, noteholders would exchange approximately $536.8 million in face value of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest for shares of common stock and new preferred stock, which together on an as-if converted basis would represent 95% of the company’s common stock, prior to the Company’s grant of options to its union employees pursuant to modification to the Company’s collective bargaining agreements. See “Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Modification” and “Teamster Approval of the Credit Agreement” above.

Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity

In light of our recent operating results, we have satisfied our short term liquidity needs through a combination of borrowings under our Credit Agreement and ABS Facilitycredit facilities and, to a more significant degree, retained proceeds from asset sales and sale/leaseback financing transactions and deferralstransactions. In an effort to further manage liquidity, we have also instituted the deferral of pension plan payments. As our operating results improve, we expect that cash generated from operations will reduce our need to continue to rely upon these sources of liquidity to meet our short term funding requirements. Although we expect the wage reduction and temporary pension contribution cessation will improve our liquidity position, these and other cost savings measures noted above will be realized over time as they are implemented over the next several months. In order toTo continue to have sufficient liquidity to meet our operatingcash flow requirements throughout the remainder of 2009:2009 and through 2010:

 

our operating results must continue to improve quarter-over-quarter and shipping volumes must continue to stabilize or recover quarter-over-quarter,quarter-over-quarter;

 

we must continue to have access to our Credit Agreementcredit facilities;

payment of interest and fees to our lenders and to purchasers of our accounts receivable pursuant to the ABS Facility must be deferred at least through 2010;

payment of interest and principal to the pension funds must be deferred at least through 2010;

our wage reductions and temporary cessation of pension contributions must continue;

 

we need tomust complete the sale/leaseback and real estate sale transactions currently under contract as anticipated,

our wage reductions and temporary cessation of pension contributions must continueanticipated; and

 

we must realize the cost savings we expect from these and other actions we have taken to date in the anticipated time periods.

OverWe expect our business to experience its usual seasonal low point in late 2009 and the longer term, we have an aggregatewinter of approximately $386.8 million2010. Deferral of indebtedness that matures or that we are otherwise requiredpayment of interest and fees to repurchase at the option of the holder within the next twelve months. Specifically, $150 million in aggregate principal amount of USF’s 8 1/2% Guaranteed Notes (the “USF Notes”) mature on April 15, 2010 and $236.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 5.0% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023 (the “5.0% Notes”) may be put to us by the holders of the 5.0% Notes on August 8, 2010. In addition, our Credit Agreement permits the lenders, to accelerate the maturity datepurchasers of our obligationsaccounts receivable under our ABS Facility and pension funds subject to the Contribution Deferral Agreement and access to the revolver reserve blocks under the Credit Agreement ifand certain benefits of the remaining obligations under the USF Notes is equal to or greater than $50 million on or after March 1, 2010 or if the remaining obligations under the 5.0% Notes is equal to or greater than $50 million on or after June 25, 2010. Finally, the modification to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamster’s provides that the Teamsters may terminate the wage and benefit reductions in the modification if the USF NotesABS Facility are not refinanced, repurchased or extinguished before March 1, 2010 or the 5.0% Notes are not refinanced, repurchased or extinguished before July 1, 2010 (or, in each case, such later date as the Teamsters may determine). If we do not have sufficient free cash flow to satisfy these obligations and the capital markets are not available to refinance the obligations, we would not be able to refinance these existing notes. Accordingly, we have retained financial and legal advisors and have commenced discussions with certain holders of these and other outstanding debt securities in an effort to address these upcoming maturities.

Risks and Uncertainties Relating to Liquidity

Our ability to satisfy our future liquidity requirements isall subject to a numbersuccessful completion of risksthe Exchange Offer by the Exchange Offer Deadline. As our business reaches this seasonal low point, we will need access to the additional liquidity that these agreements and uncertainties as outlined below.facilities provide to fund our operations.

The Credit Agreement and the ABS Facility each requires us to comply with a number of covenants. Any failure to comply with these covenants would impact our ability to access borrowings under these facilities. As previously discussed, the Credit Agreement Amendment and the ABS Amendment eliminated any minimum EBITDA requirements through September 30, 2009 and reset the minimum EBITDA requirement for the fourth quarter of 2009 and each quarter during 2010. Additionally, these amendments eliminated the minimum liquidity requirement for August 2009. This minimum liquidity requirement will resume at the $100 million level in September 2009. If we failhave not completed the Exchange Offer prior to meet our minimum liquidity requirement or our required EBITDA levels under our Credit Agreement and ABS Facility after these dates,the Exchange Offer Deadline, we would needwill continue to seek a waiver or forbearance from our lenders and lessors under our Credit Agreement, our ABS Facility and certain of our leases; otherwise our lenders and lessors could declare an event of default and accelerate our obligations thereunder.

As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $35.8 million of sale/leaseback transactions under contract that we expectexplore options to complete during the third quarterour restructuring out of 2009. In addition, we signed a contract with NATMI on August 7, 2009 for $81.4 million related to additional properties. The amount of actual dispositions and sale and financing leasebacks that we complete will be determined by the availability of capital and willing buyers and counterparties in the market and the outcome of discussions to enter into and close any such transactions on negotiated terms and conditions,court, including (without limitation) usual and ordinary closing conditions such as favorable title reports or opinions and favorable environmental assessments of specific properties.

The modification to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters requires, among other things, that we enter into a bank amendment that is acceptable to the Teamsters. We are involved in ongoingfurther discussions with our lenders regarding this amendment. under the Credit Agreement, the Teamsters, our multi-employer pension funds and other stakeholders. Among other things, these discussions could result in amendments to the Exchange Offer, which our lenders, the Teamsters and the multi-employer pension funds who are parties to the Contribution Deferral Agreement would have to approve. The approval of these parties is beyond the Company’s control. Other options could also arise out of these discussions; however, these options would require the participation of our stakeholders or other third parties, none of which are within the Company’s control.

If we failare unable to enter intocomplete the Exchange Offer and address our near term liquidity needs as a result of any such discussions, we would then expect to seek relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Company expects that any such filing for relief would occur after its orderly completion of planning and preparation for such a bank amendment,filing.

To successfully complete a restructuring in a bankruptcy case, we would require debtor-in-possession financing, the Teamsters may nullifymost likely source of which would be our existing lenders. If we were unable to obtain financing in a bankruptcy case or any such financing was insufficient to fund operations pending the benefitscompletion of our recent modificationa restructuring, there would be substantial doubt that the Company could complete a restructuring.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows and liquidity to fund operations raises substantial doubt about the collective bargaining agreement (includingCompany’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the wage reduction, temporary pension contribution cessation and related cost benefits).outcome of this uncertainty.

Forward-Looking Statements in “Liquidity”

Our beliefs regarding liquidity sufficiency are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our forecasts include significant judgment and significant market risk that may or may not be realized. Items that contribute to these judgments and risks, many of whichForward-looking statements are beyond our control, include the actual duration of the U.S. recession and our related assumptions around economic outlook, the continued improvements in productivities and service for our YRC network and the return of customers shipments to that network, our ability to further reduce costs and our need for additional liquidity including liquidity from cash flows from operating activitiesindicated by words such as “expected”, “will” and other liquidity enhancing initiatives (such as sale and leaseback type transactions) that may not materialize. Our forecasts are also dependent on the factors listed in the introduction to MD&A and the risk factors listed in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.similar words.

ContingentlyContingent Convertible Notes

The balance sheet classification of our contingent convertible notes between short-term and long-term is dependent upon certain conversion triggers, as defined in the applicable indenture. The contingent convertible notes include a provision whereby the note holder can require immediate conversion of the notes if, among other reasons, the credit rating on the contingent convertible notes

assigned by Moody’s is lower than B2 or if the credit rating assigned by S&P is lower than B. At JuneSeptember 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the conversion trigger was met, and accordingly, the contingent convertible notes have been classified as a short-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Based upon this particular conversion right and based upon an assumed market price of our stock of $1.50$1.25 per share, which approximates the current market price, our aggregate obligation for full satisfaction of the $379.1$386.8 million par value of contingent convertible notes would require cash payments of $13.7$11.4 million. Our Credit Agreement will not allow us to pay more than $1 million in cash payments with respect to the conversion of these notes unless a majority of the lenders approve the excess payments.

Cash Flow Measurements

We use free cash flow as a measurement to manage workingdetermine the cash flow available to fund strategic capital allocation alternatives and capital expenditures.nondiscretionary expenditures including debt service requirements. Free cash flow indicates cash available to fund additional capital expenditures, to reduce outstanding debt (including current maturities) or to invest in our growth strategies. This measurement is used for internal management purposes and should not be construed as a better measurement than net cash from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table illustrates our calculation for determining free cash flow for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30:

Operating cash flows decreased $354.0 millionCash used in operations during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009 versus the same period in 2008. Cash from operations was impacted by the reductionis reflective of general business volumes in 2009 with lower revenue and an exponentially larger reduction inour increased operating income. Lower business volumes contributed to a reduction in accounts receivable and accounts payable from 2008 to 2009 of $167.0 million and $83.1 million, respectively.losses. The 2009 period reflects the deferral of union pension contributions of $133$157 million that, if paid would have increased the negative free cash flow for 2009 by the same amount.

NetIn the first nine months of 2009, net property and equipment additions were $77.5transactions reflect net proceeds of $70.8 million lowerdue to significantly increased sales of excess property resulting from the integration of the YRC network as well as network efficiencies made in Regional Transportation.

We intend to continue leasing revenue equipment under various master lease agreements to satisfy any equipment needs in the near term. Proceeds from dispositions have increasedIn 2008 we also had reduced equipment capital expenditures offset by the initial payment of approximately $34 million for a 65% ownership interest in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $71.3 million in 2009 versus net cash used by financing activities of $37.4 million in 2008. During the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2009, we increasedreceived borrowings of $305.1 million from several sale leaseback type transactions, incurred indebtedness of $157.2 million related to the deferral of certain pension contributions and had $40.7 million of borrowings under our ABS facility. Debt payments in 2009 include proceeds from property sales that were in turn used to pay down amounts under our revolving loan facility by $58.0 million versus reduced borrowings of $40 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30,and pension deferral obligations.

The principal terms of the modification of the NMFACDA Amendment are set forth herein under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Financial Condition—Liquidity—Ratification of Collective Bargaining Agreement Modification”Pension Contribution Deferral Obligations” and incorporated herein by reference.

Real Estate Sales

On August 7, 2009, we entered into real estate sales contracts with NATMI to sell and simultaneously lease back a pool of our facilities and to sell excess property located throughout the United States.

The aggregate purchase price for the subject facilities is approximately $81.4 million. We expect to close the transactions in the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The closings of the transactions are subject to the satisfaction of normal and customary due diligence and related conditions, including NATMI’s right to terminate its obligation to purchase a portion or all of the facilities in its sole discretion during the inspection period. If we are unable to obtain by closing a lien release for a specific facility from JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, the administrative agent to our Credit Agreement, NATMI may terminate its obligation to purchase and we may terminate our obligation to sell certain facilities, subject to a customary breakup fee. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the administrative agent will be authorized to release such a lien provided that no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing prior to the closing for a facility or would arise after giving effect to such closing.

Initial annual lease payments for the facilities that will be leased back from NATMI will be approximately $9.7 million in the aggregate, subject to annual increases based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. The initial lease term for each facility will be 10 years, with renewal options to extend the term of each lease by up to an additional 30 years. During the lease term for each facility, as it may be extended, we will have a right of first offer in the event NATMI proposes to sell the facility.

We have previously entered into other sale-leaseback transactions with NATMI in the ordinary course of business.
