Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Polices

Description of Business- Dynamex Inc. (the “Company” or “Dynamex”) provides same-day delivery and logistics services in the United States and Canada. The Company’s primary services are (i) same-day, on-demand delivery, (ii) scheduled and distribution and (iii) fleet outsourcing and facilities management.

Basis of presentation —The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynamex Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements except per share data are stated in thousands of dollars unless otherwise indicated. Except as otherwise indicated, references to years mean our fiscal year ending July 31, 2006 or ended July 31 of the year referenced, and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006.

The accompanying interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at October 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the three month periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, and cash flows for the three month periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. The tax provisions for the three month periods ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 are based upon management’s estimates of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.

Business and credit concentrations —The Company’s customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region or industry. During the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 13.0% and 10.4%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 25.4% and 24.7% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated in Canada. For the three month period ended October 31, 2006, Canadian revenues accounted for approximately 36.4% of total consolidated revenue, compared to 34.5% for the same period in 2005. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 5.8% in the three month period ended October 31, 2006 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Had the exchange rate been the same as in the prior period, Canadian sales for the three month period ended October 31, 2006 would have accounted for 35.1% of total sales.

Office Depot represented approximately 13.6% of the net accounts receivable at October 31, 2006. There were no other significant accounts receivable from a single customer. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Other assets – Recoverable contract contingency costs- The Company has recorded as an Other Asset certain costs related to contractually reimbursable contingency costs incurred in connection with the launch of certain contracts in accordance with EITF 99-5, “Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements,” These costs will be recovered during the initial contract term, from a designated portion of the unit price specified in the contract. Should the contract be cancelled for any reason, the customer is obligated to reimburse the Company for any unamortized balance. Total recoverable contract contingency costs capitalized at October 31, 2006 amount to $1,227 compared to $581 at July 31, 2006.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation.

DYNAMEX INC.

2. Comprehensive Income

The three components of comprehensive income are net income, foreign currency translation gains and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Investments consist of payroll withholdings from participants in the Company’s deferred compensation plan that are invested in funds designated by the individual participants. Comprehensive income for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was as follows:


	Three months ended
	October 31,
	2006			2005
Net income	$	3,649		$	3,181

Unrealized gains (losses) on investments		(12	)		24
Foreign currency translation gains		127			738


Comprehensive income	$	3,764		$	3,943

3. Intangibles — net

At October 31, 2006, intangibles and related amortization expense for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 consisted of the following:


								Amortization Expense
			Accumulated					Three months ended October 31,
	Asset		Amortization			Net		2006		2005
Deferred bank financing fees	$	129	$	(101	)	$	28		6		6
Customer lists		80		(53	)		27		8		8
Trademarks and other		470		(154	)		316		5		5

Total	$	679	$	(308	)	$	371	$	19	$	19

Amortization of deferred financing fees is classified as interest expense in the condensed statements of consolidated operations. Estimated amortization expense for the succeeding five fiscal years, including deferred bank financing fees, is $76 for 2007, $31 for 2008 and $19 each year thereafter.

4. Computation of Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,Earnings Per Share. Common stock equivalents related to stock options are excluded from diluted earnings per share calculation if their effect would be anti-dilutive to earnings per share.

5. Repurchase of Equity Securities

The Board of Directors has authorized management to purchase up to $30 million of Dynamex Inc. common stock on the open market. Through July 31, 2006, the Company had repurchased a total of 1,219 shares at an average price of $17.66 per share for a total dollar cost of $21,538. During the three months ended October 31, 2006, the Company purchased and retired 54 shares at an average price of $20.12. The Company intends to purchase additional common shares from time to time at prices acceptable to the Company.

6. Contingencies

On April 15, 2005, a purported class action was filed against the Company by a former Company driver in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, alleging that the Company unlawfully misclassified its California drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees, and asserting, as a consequence, entitlement on behalf of the purported class claimants to overtime compensation and other benefits under California wage and hour laws, reimbursement of certain operating expenses, and various insurance and other benefits and the obligation of the Company to pay employer payroll taxes under federal and state law. The plaintiff filed a Motion for Class Certification on November 2, 2006. The Company responded in a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification on November 29, 2006. An oral argument hearing is scheduled on December 12, 2006.

We believe that the Company’s drivers are properly classified as independent contractors and intend to vigorously defend this litigation. Given the nature and preliminary status of the claims, however, we cannot yet determine the amount or a reasonable range of potential loss in these matters, if any.

The California Employment Development Department (the “EDD”) conducted an employment tax audit of certain of the Company’s operations in California for the period April 2003 through March 2005. As a result of the audit, the EDD concluded that certain independent contractors used by the Company should be reclassified as employees. Based on such reclassification, the EDD made a $345,000 assessment plus accrued interest against the Company, the bulk of which is for personal income taxes. The Company has filed a request to extend the period to file a petition for reassessment citing failure of proper notice. No hearing has been scheduled with regard to the Company’s request. The Company subsequently provided documentation to the EDD related to the original assessment which resulted in a reduction in the assessment of approximately $100,000. The Company has established a reserve for the estimated liability associated with the EDD assessment.

On January 19, 2006, a purported class action was filed against the Company by an employee in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, alleging that the Company unlawfully failed to pay wages for work performed, for which they received no compensation as well as for overtime work for which they received no overtime pay to which the employees were entitled under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the New York Labor Law and the supporting New York State Department of Labor regulations (NYLL). The plaintiff seeks

DYNAMEX INC.

recovery of unpaid wages, overtime compensation, liquidated damages, additional liquidated damages for unreasonably delayed payment of wages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs under the action.

The Company and the plaintiff have reached an agreement in principle to settle the purported class action in New York. The settlement will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions regarding Company operations and future prospects. Although the Company believes its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risk and uncertainty, including, among other things, competition, foreign exchange, and risks associated with the same-day transportation industry. These and other risks are mentioned from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Caution should be taken that these factors could cause the actual results to differ from those stated or implied in this and other Company communications.

General

The Company, through its national network of same-day delivery and logistics operations, is the leading provider of such services in the United States and Canada.

Sales consist primarily of charges to customers for delivery services and weekly or monthly charges for recurring services, such as facilities management. Sales are recognized when the service is performed. The yield (value per transaction) for a particular service is dependent upon a number of factors including size and weight of articles transported, distance transported, special handling requirements, requested delivery time and local market conditions. Generally, articles of greater weight transported over longer distances and those that require special handling produce higher yields.

Cost of sales consists of costs relating directly to performance of services, including driver and messenger costs, third party delivery charges, warehousing and sorting expenses, insurance and workers’ compensation costs. Substantially all of the drivers used by the Company provide their own vehicles, and more than 99% are independent contractors as opposed to employees of the Company. Drivers and messengers are generally compensated based on a percentage of the delivery charge. Consequently, the Company’s driver and messenger costs are variable in nature. To the extent that delivery personnel are employees of the Company, employee benefit costs related to them, such as payroll taxes and insurance, are also included in cost of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG & A”) include salaries and benefit costs incurred at the business center level related to taking orders and dispatching drivers and messengers, as well as administrative costs related to such functions. Also included in SG & A expenses are regional and corporate level marketing and administrative costs and occupancy costs related to business center and corporate locations.

Generally, the Company’s on-demand services provide higher gross profit margins than do local and regional distribution or fleet management services because driver payments for on-demand services are generally lower as a percentage of sales from such services due primarily to the smaller size of the vehicle required. However, scheduled distribution and fleet management services generally have fewer administrative requirements related to order taking, dispatching drivers and billing. As a result of these variances, the Company’s gross profit margin is dependent in part on the mix of business for a particular period.

During the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 13.0% and 10.4%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 25.4% and 24.7% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally

DYNAMEX INC.

accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s critical accounting policies are set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006. As of, and for the three month period ended October 31, 2006, there have been no material changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (FIN 48) that provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. The Company will adopt FIN 48 on August 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48; however, we do not expect the adoption of this provision to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. In SAB No. 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company believes the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Three months ended October 31, 2006 compared to three months ended October 31, 2005

Net income for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $3.6 million ($0.34 per fully diluted share) compared to $3.2 million ($0.27 per fully diluted share) for the three months ended October 31, 2005.

Sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 were $101 million, an 11.1% increase over $91 million for the same period in 2005. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 5.8% over the prior year quarter, which had the effect of increasing sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 by approximately $2.0 million had the conversion rate been the same as the prior year period. Excluding the effect of this increase, sales per day would have been approximately 8.8% higher in the current quarter compared to the prior year. Management estimates that approximately 0.6% of the year-over-year increase in sales is attributable to fuel surcharges. U.S. sales increased approximately 7.8% and Canadian sales, in Canadian dollars, increased approximately 11.0% this quarter compared to last year.

Cost of sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 increased $7.5 million, or 11.3%, to $73.7 million from $66.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 73.2% for the three months ended October 31, 2006, slightly higher than the 73.1% for the same period in the prior year. The new business added this quarter negatively impacted margins due to normal operational and administrative challenges during the early stages of such large startups. As we move out of the startup phase into a normal operating environment, management expects margins on the new business to strengthen.

SG & A expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2006 increased $1.5 million, or 7.9%, to $20.5 million from $19.0 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 20.4% in the current year compared to 21.0% in the prior year quarter. Approximately $400,000 of the dollar increase is attributable to the stronger Canadian dollar. Also, the current year quarter includes charges totaling approximately $300,000 for additional space needed to service new business along with approximately $225,000 in costs directly associated with new business startups in a number of locations.

For the three months ended October 31, 2006, depreciation and amortization was $592,000 compared to $494,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to lessor financed leasehold improvements associated with the recent move of the corporate headquarters, the acquisition of new route optimization software and the installation at corporate headquarters of a voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) telephone system late in FY 2006. Management does not expect a significant change in the level of depreciation and amortization expense due to limited capital requirements associated with its non-asset based business.

Interest expense for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $111,000, $27,000 above the prior year period. Higher interest expense compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to a higher average outstanding debt and a higher average interest rate. The increase in bank debt compared to July 31, 2006 results primarily from share repurchases and the increase in accounts receivable during the quarter.

The effective income tax rate was 36.9% for the current quarter compared to 35.1% for the prior year, primarily due to a higher effective tax rate on United States income due in part to the new Texas margin tax enacted in July 2006. The current year quarter includes an adjustment of approximately $100,000 to deferred income taxes payable due to a reduction in future Canadian income tax rates. Management expects the effective income tax rate to be approximately 39% for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $167,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2005. The large increases in accounts receivable in the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, compared to July 31, 2006 and 2005 are due primarily to an increase in days sales outstanding along with the growth in sales. Management expects the increase in accounts receivable to be more in-line with the year-over-year growth in sales by the end of the second quarter of this fiscal year.

Net cash provided by operations, prior to changes in current operating assets and liabilities, was $6.2 million for the three months ended October, 2006 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2005, assisted by lessor financed leasehold improvements of approximately $1.2 million and $229,000 of non cash rent expense.

Capital expenditures for the three months ended October 31, 2006 were approximately $1.6 million compared to $117,000 in 2005. The 2006 expenditures include $1.2 million of lessor financed leasehold improvements (which were required by U.S. GAAP to be capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the life of the asset or the lease term). Management expects capital expenditures to be in the $2 million to $3 million range for the full fiscal year, excluding lessor financed leasehold improvements. The Company does not have significant capital expenditure requirements to replace or expand the number of vehicles used in its operations because substantially all of its drivers provide their own vehicles.

On April 22, 2005, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the March 2, 2004 $30 million Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) (together the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amendment decreased the facility from $30 million to $15 million, and reduced the applicable margin on LIBOR contracts from a range of 1.25% — 1.75% to 1.00% — 1.50%, based on the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility. The Amendment also extended the maturity date to November 30, 2008 from November 30, 2007, eliminated the financial ratio requiring a measurement of funded debt to eligible receivables, as defined and reduced the restrictions on Permitted Acquisitions. The Amended Credit Facility has no scheduled principal payments; however, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios related to minimum amounts of stockholders’ equity, fixed charges to cash flow and funded debt to cash flow, as defined. Amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by all of the Company’s U.S. assets and 100% of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also contains restrictions on incurring additional debt and investments by the Company.

Effective October 31, 2005, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to eliminate stock acquisitions of up to $25 million from the fixed charge coverage ratio calculation. On November 10, 2005, the Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $15 million to $20 million to accommodate temporary borrowings to fund the stock repurchase program.

On July 21, 2006, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2009, to permit aggregate treasury stock purchases up to $35 million, and to eliminate the requirement to maintain a specified amount of minimum stockholders’ equity. At October 31, 2006, total long-term debt was $3.8 million compared to $0.9 million at July 31, 2006. Letters of credit totaling $5.6 million were outstanding at October 31, 2006. On October 5, 2006, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to increase the sub-limit for letters of credit to $7.5 million.

The Company’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was approximately $6.5 million (6.4% of sales) for the three months ended October 31, 2006, compared to $5.5 million (6.0% of sales) in the same period last year. The increase in EBITDA, as a percentage of sales, is primarily attributable to the 11.1% increase in sales that was offset only partially by the 7.9% increase in selling general and administrative expenses mentioned above. EBITDA is supplementally presented because management believes that it is a widely accepted and useful financial indicator regarding our results of operations. Management believes EBITDA assists in

analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Although our management uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business compared to that of others in our industry, the use of EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain costs that are material in amount, such as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles and, when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, not as an alternative for, operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities. The following table reconciles net income presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure:


	Three months ended
	October 31,
	2006		2005
Net income	$	3,649	$	3,181
Adjustments:
Income tax expense		2,131		1,718
Interest expense		111		84
Depreciation and amortization		592		494

EBITDA	$	6,483	$	5,477

Management expects that its future capital requirements will generally be met from internally generated cash flow and from temporary borrowings available from the Revolving Credit Facility to support its stock repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors, authorizing management to purchase up to $30 million of Dynamex Inc. common stock on the open market. Through October 31, 2006, the Company had purchased a total of 1,273,900 shares at an average price of $17.77 per share at a total dollar cost of $22,632,000. The Company intends to purchase additional common shares from time to time at prices acceptable to the Company. The Company’s access to other sources of capital, such as additional bank borrowings and the issuance of debt securities, is affected by, among other things, general market conditions affecting the availability of such capital.

Inflation

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations nor does it believe it will do so in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance the Company’s business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Exchange Exposure

Significant portions of the Company’s operations are conducted in Canada. Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollar result in fluctuations in the amounts relating to the Canadian operations reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company historically has not entered into hedging transactions with respect to its foreign currency exposure, but may do so in the future.

The sensitivity analysis model used by the Company for foreign exchange exposure compares the revenue and net income figures from Canadian operations, at the actual exchange rate, to a 10% decrease in the exchange rate. Based on this model, a 10% decrease would result in a decrease in quarterly revenue of approximately $3.7 million and a decrease in quarterly net income of approximately $200,000 over this period. There can be no assurances that the above projected exchange rate decrease will materialize. Fluctuations of exchange rates are beyond the control of the Company’s management.

DYNAMEX INC.

Interest Rate Exposure

The sensitivity analysis model used by the Company for interest rate exposure compares interest expense fluctuations over a one-year period based on current debt levels and current average interest rates versus current debt levels at current average interest rates with a 10% increase. Based on this model, a 10% increase would result in no material increase in interest expense. There can be no assurances that the above projected interest rate increase will materialize. Fluctuations of interest rates are beyond the control of the Company’s management.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of October 31, 2006 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
