Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

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, 2007 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, 2007.

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 April 30, 2008, the results of its operations for the three and nine months periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007. The tax provisions for the three and nine months periods ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 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 nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 14.7% and 14.4%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 26.1% and 27.0% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated in Canada. For the nine month period ended April 30, 2008, Canadian revenues accounted for approximately 38.4% of total consolidated revenue, compared to 37.4% for the same period in 2007. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 13.9% in the nine month period ended April 30, 2008 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 nine month period ended April 30, 2008 would have accounted for 35.3% of total sales.

Office Depot represented approximately 9.9% of the net accounts receivable at April 30, 2008. 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 net recoverable contract contingency costs capitalized at April 30, 2008 amount to $1,270 compared to $1,381 at July 31, 2007.

Other long-term liabilities— During July 2006 the Company entered into a new lease for its U.S. corporate headquarters. This lease agreement contains tenant improvement allowances and rent escalation clauses. The Company recognizes a deferred rent liability for tenant improvement allowances within other long-term liabilities

DYNAMEX INC.

and amortizes these amounts over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. For scheduled rent escalation clauses during the lease term, the Company records rental expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

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

Comprehensive Income

The three components of comprehensive income are net income, foreign currency translation gains (losses) 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 and nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 was as follows:

Repurchase of Equity Securities

The Board of Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up to $58 million of Dynamex Inc. common stock on the open market. Through April 30, 2008, the Company had repurchased a total of 1,841 shares at an average price of $19.77 per share for a total dollar cost of $36,402. Delaware law permits treasury shares to be retired when appropriately authorized by the Board of Directors, and the Company has retired such shares by appropriate reductions in the value of common stock and additional paid-in capital. During the nine months ended April 30, 2008, the Company did not purchase any Dynamex Inc. common stock on the open market. In May 2008, the Company repurchased 106 shares of Dynamex common stock at an average price of $24.06 per share, leaving a balance of $19,052 in the current authorization. Management intends to continue to purchase shares from time to time using available cash or temporary borrowings from the bank facility.

Contingencies

The California Employment Development Department (the “EDD”), in 2005, 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 assessment plus accrued interest against the Company, the bulk of which is for personal income taxes. The Company subsequently provided documentation to the EDD related to the original assessment which resulted in a reduction in the assessment of approximately $100. The Company is pursuing an administrative appeal of the denial of its Refund Claim. The California Unemployment Appeals Board confirmed the denial following an evidentiary hearing in May. The Company plans to appeal the denial to the California Superior Court.

DYNAMEX INC.

Company is collecting documentation which will work to reduce the personal income tax portion of the assessment. The Company has filed a Petition for Reassessment and intends to vigorously contest the assessment.

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 opposed the Motion. A hearing was held on December 12, 2006, and on December 14, 2006, the Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification was denied. The Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal. Briefs have been filed by both parties, and the Court is expected to schedule an Oral hearing within the next several months.

On October 17, 2007, two former independent contractor drivers in New York filed a purported class action / collective action against the Company in the United States District Court in New York alleging that the Company had unlawfully misclassified its drivers in New York and in the United States as independent contractors rather than as employees, and that the Company had unlawfully failed to comply with the “Truth In Truck Leasing” and “Leasing Regulations” under U.S. Transportation Statutes. The Complaint seeks relief under the New York Labor and Wage Statutes and the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act including payment of wages for all hours worked plus overtime, as well as for reimbursement of business expenses and improper deductions made from driver wages and injunctive relief to prevent further violations. The truck leasing claims seek unspecified amounts by which plaintiffs were underpaid and amounts for which the Company had over deducted.

The Company believes that the independent contractor owner-operator drivers are properly classified as independent contractors and intends to vigorously defend this litigation. Given the nature and preliminary status of the claims, however, the Company cannot yet determine the amount or a reasonable range of potential loss in these matters, if any.

The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company 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.

Other Income

In December 2006 the Company reached agreement with Canadian taxing authorities on the valuation of intercompany services performed by the U.S. on behalf of Dynamex Canada. The Canadian Revenue Authority (CRA) specifically challenged certain allocations of expenses between the Canadian and United States operations during audits of fiscal years 2001 and 2002. As a result, Canadian taxable income was reduced approximately $4 million with a corresponding increase in U.S. taxable income. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007 Dynamex Canada transferred cash to the U.S. in payment for services provided by the U.S. from 2001 to 2005 which resulted in a foreign currency transaction gain of approximately $937.

Dynamex Canada received in December 2006 from the CRA approximately $1.35 million Cdn in income tax refunds for income tax years 2001 to 2003 and approximately $345 Cdn in interest income on the overpayment of such Canadian income taxes. The effects of the foreign currency transaction gain and the total interest income of $425 received and accrued are recorded in Other Income in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.

Management recorded the net effects of the above described items during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Since the challenge by the CRA and the resulting transfer pricing studies were accounting estimates resolved during the second quarter, management considers it appropriate to record the effects during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The effect of this resolution was an increase in net income of approximately $972 ($0.09 per basic share and $0.09 per fully diluted share for the nine months ended April 30, 2007). Excluding the impact of this transaction, fully diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, would have been $0.92 as shown in the following table:

8. Income Taxes

Total income tax expense was $2,325 or 38.1% of income before taxes in the current year quarter, and $6,709 or 37.5% in the nine months ended April 30, 2008. The effective income tax rate for the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter was higher as a result a higher proportion of pre-tax income generated in the U.S. than the previous year and an $80,000 positive tax adjustment in the prior year related to a reduction in the Canadian income tax rate. The Company’s current effective income tax rate in the U.S. is approximately 41.6% and 34.1% in Canada. In 2007 the Company’s resolution of cross-border transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 2001 through 2005 described in Footnote 7 above affected reported income tax expense in FY 2007. Total income tax expense was $6,066, 35.8% of income before taxes for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Excluding the impact of the one-time benefit from the resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues, income tax expense would have been approximately $5.7 million, 36.5% of income before taxes as shown in Footnote 7 above.

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 adopted FIN 48 on August 1, 2007. The adoption of the FIN 48 provision did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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, bad debts, 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 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 resulting in a contribution to fixed overhead comparable to on-demand services. As a result of these variances, the Company’s gross margin is dependent in part on the mix of business for a particular period.

During the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 14.7% and 14.4%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated sales. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 26.1% and 27.0% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, 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 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, 2007. As of, and for the nine month period ended April 30, 2008, there have been no material changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurement,” This Statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. While SFAS 157 does not require any new value measurements, it may change the application of fair value measurements embodied in other accounting standards. SFAS 157 will be effective at the beginning of the Company’s 2009 fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement, but does not expect the impact on our consolidated financial statements to be material.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 (“SFAS 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No 115.” This Statement permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. A business entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings. The fair value option (a) may be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable, and (c) is applied to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141R (“SFAS No. 141R”), “Business Combinations.” This Statement requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full fair value. The Statement applies to all business combinations, including combinations among mutual entities and combinations by contract alone. Under SFAS 141R, all business combinations will be accounted for by applying the acquisition method. SFAS 141R is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be effective for us beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 for business combinations occurring after the effective date. The Company believes the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Three months ended April 30, 2008 compared to three months ended April 30, 2007

Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2008 was $3.8 million ($0.37 per fully diluted share) compared to $3.5 million ($0.32 per fully diluted share) for the three months ended April 30, 2007.

Sales for the three months ended April 30, 2008 were $113 million, a 9.1% increase compared to the same period in 2007. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 15.2% compared to the prior year quarter, which had the effect of increasing sales for the three months ended April 30, 2008 by approximately $5.5 million had the conversion rate been the same as the prior year period. Also, management estimates that approximately 3.1% of the year-over-year increase in sales is attributable to fuel surcharges. The core growth rate per day, the rate excluding changes in foreign exchange and fuel surcharges, declined approximately 0.6% this quarter. The prior year quarter includes approximately $5.1 million in sales for services provided on an interim basis to one customer in Canada. Excluding those one-time sales, the core growth rate per day was approximately 4.8%.

Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2008 increased $7.1 million, or 9.3%, to $83.4 million from $76.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 73.8% for the three months ended April 30, 2008, slightly higher than the 73.6% for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to a bad debt provision of approximately $300,000 for one Canadian customer that filed for protection from its creditors and a increase to the reserve for workers’ compensation claims for prior years by $180,000.

SG & A expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2008 increased $1.5 million, or 7.1%, to $22.8 million from $21.3 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 20.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2008, compared to 20.6% in the same period last year. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase is attributable to the stronger Canadian dollar with the balance primarily attributable to the impact of

DYNAMEX INC.

additional personnel hired over the last twelve months to support not only the current level of business but also future sales growth, in addition to normal increases in compensation and higher premiums related to medical and dental coverage. As the core growth rate accelerates above the current level, management expects to realize additional leverage from its relatively fixed cost infrastructure.

For the three months ended April 30, 2008, depreciation and amortization was $747,000 compared to $554,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is attributable to lessor financed leasehold improvements that occurred during fiscal year 2007 and the higher level of capital expenditures in FY 2007 and FY 2008. 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.

Other income, net for the three months ended April 30, 2008, was $124,000 compared to $44,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase is principally attributable to interest income due to higher cash and cash equivalents on hand during the current year quarter compared to the prior year.

Interest expense was $48,000, an increase of $16,000 or 50.0% for the current quarter.

The effective income tax rate was 38.1% for the current quarter compared to 35.8% for the prior year. The higher income rate this quarter results from the higher proportion of pre-tax income generated in the U.S. than the previous year and an $80,000 positive tax adjustment in the prior year related to a reduction in the Canadian income tax rate. The Company’s current effective income tax rate in the U.S. is approximately 41.6% and 34.1% in Canada. The expected repatriation of $5 million in excess Canadian cash in the Fiscal year 2008 fourth quarter will increase income tax expense by approximately $150,000.

Nine months ended April 30, 2008 compared to nine months ended April 30, 2007

Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 was $11.2 million ($1.09 per fully diluted share) compared to $10.9 million ($1.01 per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, was favorably impacted by approximately $972,000 ($0.09 per fully diluted share) from the settlement of cross border transfer pricing issues with the Canadian tax authorities. See Footnote 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 were $337 million, a 10.3% increase over $305 million for the same period in 2007. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 13.9% over the prior year period, which had the effect of increasing sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 by approximately $15.6 million had the conversion rate been the same as the prior year period. Also, management estimates that approximately 2.1% of the year-over-year increase in sales is attributable to fuel surcharges. The core growth rate per day, the rate excluding changes in foreign exchange and fuel surcharges, was approximately 3.6% this period. The prior year nine months includes approximately $7.2 million in sales for services provided on an interim basis to one customer in Canada. Excluding the temporary sales last year in Canada, the core growth rate per day was approximately 6.4%.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 increased $22.8 million, or 10.1%, to $247.6 million from $224.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 73.6% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, compared to 73.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. The year-over-year improvement resulted from the optimization of the operations of new business started during the last fiscal year that was offset somewhat by higher bad debt expense of $300 related to one Canadian customer that filed for protection from its creditors and an increase to the reserve for workers’ compensation claims for prior years by $180,000.

SG & A expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 increased $6.2 million, or 9.7%, to $69.4 million from $63.2 million for the same period in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 20.5% for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, compared to 20.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Approximately $2.9 million of the increase is attributable to the stronger Canadian dollar with the balance primarily attributable to the impact of additional personnel hired over the last twelve months to support not only the current level of business but also future sales growth, in addition to normal increases in compensation and higher premiums related to medical and dental coverage. As the core growth rate accelerates above the current level, management expects to realize additional leverage from its relatively fixed cost infrastructure.

DYNAMEX INC.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2008, depreciation and amortization was $2.1 million compared to $1.7 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to lessor financed leasehold improvements that occurred during fiscal year 2007. 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.

Other income, net for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, was $427,000 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is principally attributable to the prior year resolution of cross-border transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 2001 through 2005. As a result, the Company realized interest income of approximately $425,000 from the overpayment of prior year Canadian taxes without a corresponding increase in interest expense from the U.S. as the Company had available net operating losses to offset the additional income, and the realization of $937,000 in foreign currency transaction gains on those inter-company charges. The prior year inter-company charges were denominated in Canadian dollars, the value of which increased in U.S. dollars from those prior year levels.

Interest expense was $180,000, a decrease of $80,000 or 30.8% for the current quarter. Lower interest expense compared to the prior year is primarily attributable to a lower average outstanding debt.

The effective income tax rate was 37.5% for the current period compared to 35.8% for the prior year. Excluding the prior year impact of the one-time benefit from the resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues, the prior year income tax expense would have been approximately $5.7 million, 36.5% of income before taxes (see Footnote 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow generated from operations and our bank revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2007. The additional requirement this year is primarily attributable to the $4.7 million payment in August 2007 for stock repurchase transactions consummated in FY 2007 plus the positive impact of the lessor financed leasehold improvements included in the prior year period. The increase in accounts receivable, although higher than the FY 2007 yearend balance after considering the growth in sales and changes in the Canadian dollar, is significantly below the increase for the same period last year. Management expects the increase in accounts receivable to be more in-line with the year-over-year growth in sales by the end of this fiscal year.

Net cash provided by operations, prior to changes in current operating assets and liabilities, was $15.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 compared to $19.0 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. Excluding the non-cash lessor financed leasehold improvement of $2.0 million from the prior year, net cash generated from operations, before changes in current operating assets and liabilities, decreased 7.9% this period compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increase in cash taxes as the Company utilized available deductions and credits in the prior year.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended April 30, 2008 were approximately $2.3 million compared to $3.3 million in 2007. The 2007 expenditures include $2.0 million of lessor financed leasehold improvements. Management expects capital expenditures to be in the $2.5 million to $3 million range for the full fiscal year, excluding lessor financed leasehold improvements. Our cash flow from operations has been our primary source of liquidity, and we expect it to continue to be the primary source in the future.

Our revolving credit facility was initially established in 2005 and last amended in July 2007. The credit facility has a maturity date of July 31, 2009 and has no scheduled principal payments. The revolving credit facility is secured by all of the Company’s U.S. assets and 100% of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility requires us to satisfy certain financial and other covenants, including:

DYNAMEX INC.


		Level at April 30,
Compliance Area	Covenant	2008
Ratio of funded debt to EBITDA	Maximum of 2.00 to 1.00	0.22
Total indebtedness	$20 million, including LOC’s	$6.2 million
Letters of credit sublimit	$7.5 million	$6.2 million
Maximum treasury stock purchases in any fiscal year	$20 million	$0
Fixed charge coverage ratio	Equal to or greater than 1.50 to 1.00	1.67

The Company’s EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was approximately $6.9 million (6.1% of sales) for the three months ended April 30, 2008, compared to $6.0 million (5.8% of sales) in the same period last year. The Company’s EBITDA was approximately $20.2 million (6.0% of sales) for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, compared to $18.9 million (6.2% of sales) in the same period last year. The decrease in EBITDA for the nine months ended April 30, 2008, as a percentage of sales, is primarily attributable to the one-time benefit from resolution of cross-border transfer pricing issues in the prior year. Excluding this one-time benefit, EBITDA was $17.5 million (5.7% of sales) for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. EBITDA and EBITDA margin (percentage of EBITDA to sales) are 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 expense, 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						Nine months ended
	April 30,						April 30,
	2008			2007			2008			2007

Net income	$	3,774		$	3,487		$	11,187		$	10,857
Adjustments:
Income tax expense		2,325			1,945			6,709			6,066
Interest expense		48			32			180			260
Depreciation and amortization		747			554			2,119			1,742

EBITDA	$	6,894		$	6,018		$	20,195		$	18,925


EBITDA margin		6.1	%		5.8	%		6.0	%		6.2	%

Management expects internally generated cash flow and temporary borrowings from its bank credit facility will be sufficient to fund its operations, capital requirements and common stock repurchases.

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 $4.3 million and a decrease in quarterly net income of approximately $170,000 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.

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.

DYNAMEX INC.


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 April 30, 2008 (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.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The California Employment Development Department (the “EDD”), in 2005, 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 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 is pursuing an administrative appeal of the denial of its Refund Claim. The California Unemployment Appeals Board confirmed the denial following an evidentiary hearing in May. The Company plans to appeal the denial to the California Superior Court.

The California EDD conducted an employment tax audit of the Company’s other California operations in 2006. Based on its conclusion that certain independent contractors used by the Company should be reclassified as employees, a Notice of Assessment was issued by the EDD in April 2007 in the amount of $2.8 million; $2.0 million of which the EDD claims represents personal income tax of the reclassified individuals. As in the earlier matter, the Company is collecting documentation which will work to reduce the personal income tax portion of the assessment. The Company has filed a Petition for Reassessment and intends to vigorously contest the assessment.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to other information in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business. This report contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the following risk factors and elsewhere in this report.

Competition May Adversely Affect Our Results

The market for same-day delivery and logistics services has been and is expected to remain highly competitive. Competition is often intense, particularly for basic delivery services. High fragmentation and low barriers to entry characterize the industry. We compete with other companies in the industry not only to be providers of services but also for qualified drivers. Some of these companies have longer operating histories and greater financial and other resources than we do. Because of the low cost of entry, companies that do not currently operate delivery and logistics businesses may enter the industry in the future. See “Business — Competition” in the July 31, 2007 Form 10K.

An Increase in Claims May Expose Us to Losses

We utilized the services of approximately 4,600 independent contractor owner-operator drivers. From time to time such persons are involved in accidents or other activities that may give rise to liability claims. We currently carry liability insurance with a per occurrence and an aggregate limit of $30 million. Our independent contractor owner-operators are required to maintain liability insurance of at least the minimum amounts required by applicable state or provincial law (generally such minimum requirements range from $20,000 to $40,000). We also have insurance policies covering property and fiduciary trust liability, which coverage includes all drivers and messengers. We make no assurance that claims against us, whether under the liability insurance or the surety bonds, will not exceed the applicable amount of coverage, that our insurer will be solvent at the time of settlement of an insured claim, or that we will be able to obtain insurance at acceptable levels and costs in the future. If we were to experience a material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents, liability claims, workers’ compensation claims or unfavorable resolutions of claims, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs could reduce our profitability.

We Rely on Independent Contractor Owner-Operator Drivers to Make Deliveries for Our Customers

Substantially all of our drivers at April 30, 2008 were independent contractor owner-operators. We are currently a party to purported class actions brought by former drivers in California and New York alleging, among other things, that the Company has misclassified its drivers in these jurisdictions as independent contractors rather than employees and seeking recovery of overtime pay and other benefits and expense reimbursements. We believe that our classification of our owner-operators as independent contractors is proper under applicable law and we intend to vigorously defend these actions. However, in the event of an adverse determination in these actions, the Company could be required to pay overtime pay and other benefits and expense reimbursements to former and current drivers who are members of the class for prior periods and, in the case of current drivers, prospectively. To the extent that we are required to pay our owner-operators overtime pay and other benefits and expense reimbursements, our operating costs will increase, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We also do not pay or withhold any federal, state or provincial employment tax with respect to or on behalf of independent contractors. Our classification of our owner-operator drivers as independent contractors has been challenged from time to time by various taxing authorities, as in the case of California, where we have been subjected to assessments and interest for prior periods as a result of audits by the California Employment Development Department. While we believe that our owner-operators are not employees under existing interpretations of federal (U.S. and Canadian), state and provincial laws and intend to vigorously defend such challenges, there is no certainty that we will prevail. If we are required to pay employer taxes or pay backup withholding in respect of prior periods on behalf of our owner-operators, our operating costs will increase, which could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

See “Business — Services” and “—Employees” in our July 31, 2007 Form 10K and “Legal Proceedings” in Part I,

DYNAMEX INC.

Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

We May Be Adversely Affected by Local Delivery Industry and General Economic Conditions

Our sales and earnings are especially sensitive to events that affect the delivery services industry including extreme weather conditions, economic factors affecting our significant customers and shortages of or disputes with labor, any of which could result in our inability to service our clients effectively or our inability to profitably manage our operations. In addition, downturns in the level of general economic activity and employment in the U.S. or Canada may negatively impact demand for our services.

Fluctuations of Foreign Exchange Rates May Adversely Affect Our Results

About one-third of our 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 our consolidated financial statements. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency for the Canadian operations; therefore, any change in the exchange rate will affect our reported sales, expenses and net income for such period. We historically have not entered into hedging transactions with respect to our foreign currency exposure, but may do so in the future. We cannot be assured that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in the July 31, 2007 Form 10K.

Failure to Maintain Permits and Licensing May Adversely Affect Our Ability to Operate

Although certain aspects of the transportation industry have been significantly deregulated, our delivery operations are still subject to various federal (U.S. and Canadian), state, provincial and local laws, ordinances and regulations that in many instances require certificates, permits and licenses. If we fail to maintain required certificates, permits or licenses, or to comply with applicable laws, ordinances or regulations we may incur substantial fines or possible revocation of our authority to conduct certain of our operations. See “Business — Regulation” in the July 31, 2007 Form 10K.

We Depend Upon Key Personnel for Our Continued Operations

Our success is largely dependent on the skills, experience and performance of certain key members of our management. The loss of the services of any of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future success and plans for growth also depend on its ability to attract and retain skilled personnel in all areas of our business. There is strong competition for skilled personnel in the same-day delivery and logistics businesses.

Technological Advances May Adversely Affect Our Business

Technological advances in the nature of facsimile, electronic mail and electronic signature capture have affected the market for on-demand document delivery services. Although we have shifted our focus to the distribution of non-faxable items and logistics services, there can be no assurance that these or other technologies will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.

We Are Highly Dependent Upon Our Technology Infrastructure

We rely heavily on technology to operate our transportation and business networks, and any disruption to our technology infrastructure or the internet could harm our operations and our reputation among our customers. Our ability to attract and retain customers and to compete effectively depends in part upon the sophistication and reliability of our technology network, including our ability to provide features of service that are important to our customers. Any disruption to our computer systems and web site could adversely impact our customer service, our ability to receive orders and respond to prompt delivery assignments and result in increased costs. While we have invested and will continue to invest in technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans, these measures cannot fully insulate us from technology disruptions and the resulting adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

We Are Dependent on Availability of Qualified Delivery Personnel

We are dependent upon our ability to attract and retain, as employees or through independent contractor or other arrangements, qualified delivery personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the needs of our operations. We compete in markets in which unemployment is generally relatively low and the competition for independent contractor owner-operators and other employees is intense. We must continually evaluate and upgrade our pool of available independent contractor owner-operators to keep pace with demands for delivery services. We have no assurance that qualified delivery personnel will continue to be available in sufficient numbers and on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to attract and retain qualified delivery personnel could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We May Need for Additional Financing to Pursue Our Acquisition Strategy

We intend to pursue acquisitions that are complementary to our existing operations, primarily through the acquisition of customer lists of small local delivery companies that can be tucked into our current operating locations. We may be required to incur additional debt, issue additional securities that may potentially result in dilution to current holders and also may result in increased goodwill, intangible assets and amortization expense. We have no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing if necessary, or that such financing can be obtained on terms we will deem acceptable. As a result, we may be unable to successfully implement our acquisition strategy. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Factors Beyond Our Control May Affect the Volatility of Our Stock Price

Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. Variations in our operating results, general trends in the industry and other factors could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate significantly. In addition, general trends and developments in the industry, government regulation and other factors could have a significant impact on the price of our common stock. The stock market has, on occasion, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often particularly affected market prices for smaller companies and that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies, and the price of our common stock could be affected by such fluctuations.

Escalating Fuel Costs May Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The independent contractor owner-operators we engage are responsible for all vehicle expense including maintenance, insurance, fuel and all other operating costs. We make every reasonable effort to include fuel cost adjustments in customer billings that we pay to independent contractor owner-operators to offset the impact of fuel price increases. If future fuel cost adjustments are insufficient to offset independent contractor owner-operators’ costs, we may be unable to attract a sufficient number of independent contractor owner-operators that may negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
