PART I
------
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
CNF Transportation Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the
Registrant or the Company) is a management company of global
supply-chain services with businesses in regional less-than-
truckload trucking, multi-modal full truckload, multi-client
warehousing and expedited ground transport (Con-Way
Transportation Services); domestic and international airfreight,
ocean freight, customs brokerage and logistics services (Emery
Worldwide); full-service logistics management (Menlo Logistics);
postal sortation and transportation services (Emery Worldwide
Airlines), and trailer manufacturing (Road Systems).
In compliance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information", the Company discloses segment information
in the manner in which the components are organized for making
operating decisions, assessing performance and allocating
resources. The Company's four segments, which are discussed
below, include Con-Way Transportation Services, Emery Worldwide,
Menlo Logistics and Other. The Other segment consists primarily
of the operations under a Priority Mail contract with the U.S.
Postal Service, and includes Road Systems and, prior to the sale
of its assets in May 1999, VantageParts. For financial
information concerning the Company's business segments, refer to
Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders,
which is incorporated herein by reference.
The operations of the Company are primarily conducted in the U.S.
but to an increasing extent are conducted in foreign countries.
For geographic group information, also refer to Note 13 of the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 1999
Annual Report to Shareholders.
On December 2, 1996, the Company completed the tax-free
distribution (the Spin-off) to its shareholders of a new publicly
traded company, Consolidated Freightways Corporation (CFC), a
long-haul less-than-truckload (LTL) motor carrier and its related
businesses. The Registrant's shareholders received one share of
CFC stock for every two shares of the Registrant's stock that
were owned on November 15, 1996. Following the Spin-off, the
Company changed its name to CNF Transportation Inc. The Company,
formerly Consolidated Freightways, Inc., was incorporated in
Delaware in 1958.
- PAGE 4 -
CON-WAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SEGMENT
- --------------------------------------
The Con-Way reporting segment consists of Con-Way Transportation
Services Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Con-Way Regional Carriers
Con-Way's primary business units are three regional LTL motor
carriers that operate dedicated regional trucking networks.
These regional LTL carriers principally serve core geographic
territories with next-day and second-day service to
manufacturing, industrial, commercial and retail business-to-
business customers.
Con-Way's regional carriers include Con-Way Central Express
(CCX), which serves 25 states of the central and northeast U.S.,
Ontario and Quebec, Canada and Puerto Rico; Con-Way Southern
Express (CSE), which serves a 12-state southern market from Texas
to Virginia and Florida, and also operates in Puerto Rico and
parts of Mexico; and Con-Way Western Express (CWX), which
operates in 13 western states and serves parts of Canada and
Mexico.
In 1998, Con-Way began offering coast-to-coast service in all 50
states by fully linking its three regional carriers. The
expansion of Con-Way's joint service offerings permits Con-Way's
regional carriers to provide full service throughout the U.S. and
to major cities in Canada. By offering joint services, the
regional carriers can provide next-day and second-day freight
delivery between their respective core territories utilizing
existing infrastructure. The joint service allows each carrier
to provide coverage of inter-regional market lanes that were not
previously serviced as part of its core territory.
In February 1999, Con-Way began offering customers a new
guaranteed delivery service option. The new service offers an
automatic 100% delivery guarantee for an additional charge to the
customer.
Con-Way Truckload Services, Con-Way NOW and Con-Way Integrated
Services
Con-Way Truckload Services (CWT) is a full-service, multi-modal
truckload company that provides door-to-door delivery of
truckload shipments by highway and rail forwarding with domestic
intermodal marketing services, and assembly and distribution
services. In addition, CWT is a subcontractor for the Priority
Mail operation, which is discussed below in the "Other" segment.
Con-Way NOW specializes in time-definite shipments, such as
replacement parts, medical equipment and other urgent shipments,
where expedited delivery is critical. Con-Way NOW has delivery
service in 48 states and parts of Canada.
- PAGE 5 -
In 1998, Con-Way created a new business, Con-Way Integrated
Services (CIS), to provide logistics solutions to customers. CIS
offers integrated supply chain services for shippers, using its
own multi-client warehouses, its multi-modal carrier
relationships, and alliances with leading supply chain software
firms to bring semi-customized solutions configured to its
customers' needs.
Con-Way - Competitive Conditions
The trucking industry is intensely competitive. Principal
competitors of Con-Way include regional and national LTL
companies. Competition in the trucking industry is based on
freight rates, service, reliability, transit times and scope of
operations.
EMERY WORLDWIDE SEGMENT
- -----------------------
The Emery Worldwide reporting segment includes the combined
accounts of Emery Air Freight Corporation and its subsidiaries
(EAFC), a portion of the operations of Emery Worldwide Airlines,
Inc. (EWA), and Emery Expedite!, Inc. The Registrant is the owner
of 100% of the outstanding shares of these companies. EWA
primarily provides nightly air delivery services for EAFC and
Express Mail (a next-day delivery service) under a contract
awarded by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The operations of the
Express Mail contract are reported in the Emery Worldwide
business segment. In 1997, EWA was awarded a contract for the
sortation and transportation of Priority Mail, a second-day
delivery service, in the eastern United States. The operations
of the Priority Mail contract are reported in the Other business
segment.
- PAGE 6 -
Emery Air Freight Corporation
Emery Air Freight Corporation (EAFC) provides both domestic and
international air freight services. In North America, EAFC
relies principally on the dedicated aircraft of EWA and EAFC's
ground fleet to provide commercial door-to-door delivery for next-
day, second-day and deferred shipments. Internationally, EAFC
acts principally as a freight forwarder by providing door-to-door
and airport-to-airport commercial services in over 200 countries.
Emery Air Freight Corporation - North America
EAFC's hub-and-spoke system is centered at the Dayton, Ohio
International Airport, where its leased air cargo facility (the
Hub) and related support facilities are located. The Hub handles
a wide variety of shipments, ranging from small packages to
heavyweight cargo, with a total effective sort capacity of
approximately 1.2 million pounds per hour, generally handling
over 5 million pounds of freight daily. While Emery's freight
system is designed to handle parcels, packages and shipments of a
variety of sizes and weights, its air freight operations are
focused primarily on heavy air freight (defined as shipments of
70 pounds or more). The operation of the Hub in conjunction with
EWA's airlift system contributes to EAFC's ability to maintain
service reliability. As of December 31, 1999, EAFC had
substantially completed a $75 million redesign and expansion of
the Hub that is expected to increase freight handling capacity
30% in the year 2000.
In addition to the Dayton Hub, EAFC operates nine regional hubs,
strategically located around the United States near Sacramento
and Los Angeles, California; Dallas, Texas; Chicago, Illinois;
Poughkeepsie, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; Atlanta,
Georgia; Nashville, Tennessee; and Orlando, Florida.
EAFC provides services in North America through a system of sales
offices and service centers. EAFC's door-to-door service within
North America relies on the airlift system of EWA, supplemented
with commercial airlines. Customers are typically concerned with
timely deliveries rather than the mode of transportation. Because
the average cost of ground transportation is considerably less
than air transportation, EAFC seeks to manage its costs by using
trucks, rather than aircraft, to transport freight whenever
possible, typically in connection with second-day and deferred
deliveries.
Emery Air Freight Corporation - International
Internationally, EAFC operates primarily as an air freight
forwarder using commercial airlines, while utilizing controlled
lift only on a limited basis. (International business is defined
as shipments that either originate or terminate outside of the
United States). EAFC provides services internationally through
foreign subsidiaries, branches, service centers and agents. In
1997, EAFC opened new distribution centers in Singapore and Miami
to serve Asia and Latin America, respectively.
EAFC's expansion plans have been focused on international
operations due to the expectation of greater opportunities in an
expanding worldwide economy and the lower capital requirements of
the variable-cost based international operations. From 1995 to
1999, EAFC's international air freight revenue increased 37.5%,
compared with a 13.8% increase in North American air freight
revenue for the same period. Emery's fastest-growing regions
internationally have been Latin America and Asia. In 1998,
however, business in Asia declined as a result of a severe
regional economic downturn that also adversely impacted other
international regions.
- PAGE 7 -
Emery Worldwide Airlines
In addition to providing aircraft for EAFC's commercial air
freight operations, EWA uses its aircraft to provide charter
services and also to provide air delivery services for Express
Mail (a next-day delivery service) under a ten-year contract with
the USPS. The current Express Mail contract was awarded to EWA
in 1993. In addition, EWA has also received separate contracts
to carry peak-season Christmas and other mail for the USPS.
Emery recognized approximately $253 million, $214 million and
$163 million of revenue in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively,
from Express Mail and other contracts for the USPS, excluding
Priority Mail revenue that is reported in the "Other" segment.
Emery Expedite!, Emery Global Logistics and Emery Customs
Brokerage
To enhance the range of services it can offer to its customers
and to provide further avenues for growth, Emery has established
several variable-cost based "strategic business units." These
units include Emery Expedite!, a rapid response freight handling
subsidiary providing door-to-door delivery of shipments in North
America and overseas. Emery Global Logistics operates North
American and international warehouses and distribution centers
for a variety of customers. Emery Customs Brokerage (ECB)
provides full service customs clearance regardless of mode or
carrier. Through ECB, Emery also serves as a global freight
forwarder and non-vessel-operating common carrier that provides
full and less-than-container load service.
Emery - Competition
The air freight industry is intensely competitive. Principal
competitors of Emery include other integrated air freight
carriers, air freight forwarders and international airlines and,
to a lesser extent, trucking companies, passenger and cargo air
carriers. Competition in the air freight industry is intense and
is based on, among other things, freight rates, quality of
service, reliability, transit times and scope of operations.
Emery - Strategic Initiatives
Management will continue to focus on positioning Emery as a
premium service provider. In North America, management intends
to continue developing an infrastructure capable of servicing a
higher volume of premium and guaranteed delivery services and
will seek to reduce the costs associated with its infrastructure.
Key initiatives include replacing older and less reliable
aircraft with newer aircraft having lower maintenance costs and
the recent reconfiguration of its Hub sortation center.
- PAGE 8 -
Internationally, Emery's management will focus on expanding its
variable-cost-based operations and will continue its efforts to
increase international revenue as a percentage of total revenue.
For 1999, total international revenue of $1.09 billion comprised
45% of Emery's total revenue.
An important element in providing premium service is the ability
to track freight information, optimize carrier selections, and
interlink and analyze customer data. Starting in 1996, Emery
began to invest in what is expected to be a $75 million multi-
year technology program to upgrade its hardware and software
systems architecture, including its global tracking system called
Emcon 2000. The Emcon 2000 system is expected to provide
enhanced tracking information for shipments to reduce mis-sorts,
avoid potential overloads and to signal freight with specialized
handling requirements. Emery's management expects the Emcon 2000
system to be implemented in 2000 in its North American operations
and in 2001 for its international operations.
MENLO LOGISTICS SEGMENT
- -----------------------
The Menlo reporting segment consists of Menlo Logistics, Inc.,
which was founded in 1990, and its subsidiaries (Menlo). Menlo
specializes in developing and managing complex national and
global supply and distribution networks, including transportation
management, dedicated contract warehousing and dedicated contract
carriage. In serving its customers, Menlo uses and develops
logistics optimization and customer order and shipment tracking
software, and also provides real-time warehouse, transportation
and order management systems. Menlo has developed the ability to
link these systems with each other and with its customers'
internal systems.
The Company believes that Menlo's technology skills, operations
processes and design expertise with sophisticated logistics
systems have established it as a leader in the emerging field of
contract logistics. Complex projects, which call upon Menlo's
skills in managing carrier networks, dedicated vehicle fleets and
automated warehouses as an integrated system, recently have been
the fastest growing segment of Menlo's business.
The Company believes that three industry trends have driven
Menlo's growth. First, the Company believes that a number of
businesses are increasingly evaluating their overall logistics
costs, including transportation, warehousing and inventory
carrying costs. Second, the Company believes that outsourcing of
non-core services, such as distribution, has become more
commonplace with many businesses. Finally, the Company believes
that the ability to access information through computer networks
has increased the value of capturing real-time logistics
information to track inventories, shipments and deliveries.
Menlo's ability to provide solutions to intricate distribution
issues for large companies with complex supply chains has helped
Menlo to secure new projects and expand services for existing
customers. In 1998, Menlo secured six new significant contracts.
In 1999, Menlo began new projects with Delphi, Williams-Sonoma,
The North Face, and a major tool manufacturer. Also in 1999,
Menlo agreed to expand certain projects for Hewlett-Packard.
Compensation from Menlo's customers takes different forms,
including cost-plus, gain-sharing, per-piece, fixed-dollar and
consulting fees. In most cases, customers reimburse start-up and
development costs.
- PAGE 9 -
Menlo seeks to limit the financial commitments it undertakes by
typically providing that any facility or major equipment lease
that it enters into on behalf of a customer must be assumed by
the customer upon termination of the contract with Menlo.
However, few customer relationships have been ended by either
Menlo or its customers.
While the Company seeks to take advantage of cross-business
synergies whenever possible, Menlo is operated as an independent
business segment within the Company and not as a conduit through
which business can be referred to Con-Way or Emery. The
independence of Menlo from the Company's other primary business
units is viewed as essential to maintaining Menlo's credibility
with its customers.
Menlo - Competition
Menlo operates in the relatively new but intensely competitive
third-party logistics (3PL) industry. Competition is based
largely on computer system skills and the ability to rapidly
implement logistics solutions. Competitors in the 3PL industry
are numerous and include domestic and foreign logistics companies
and the logistics arms of integrated transportation companies;
however, Menlo primarily competes against a limited number of
major competitors that have resources sufficient to service large
logistics contracts.
OTHER SEGMENT
- -------------
The Other segment consists primarily of the operations under a
Priority Mail contract with the USPS, and includes Road Systems,
a trailer manufacturer, and prior to the sale of its assets in
May 1999, VantageParts, a wholesale distributor of truck parts
and supplies.
Priority Mail Contract
In April 1997, the USPS awarded EWA a contract for the sortation
and transportation of Priority Mail, a second-day delivery
service, in portions of 13 states in the eastern United States.
This contract expires in February 2002 and may be renewed, at the
option of the USPS, for two additional terms of three years. The
Company recognized $555.5 million, $410.8 million, and $51.6
million of revenue from the Priority Mail contract in 1999, 1998,
and 1997, respectively.
Among other things, the Priority Mail contract calls for EWA to
lease or acquire, equip, fully staff and operate ten Priority
Mail Processing Centers (PMPCs) in ten major metropolitan areas,
primarily along the eastern seaboard. All ten of the PMPCs were
operational as of June 30, 1998. EWA also provides air
transportation under the contract and provides ground
transportation between the PMPCs and other USPS facilities. Con-
Way Truckload Services, a subsidiary of Con-Way Transportation
Services, acts as a subcontractor and provides line-haul
transportation between PMPCs.
- PAGE 10 -
Issues arising from the Priority Mail contract, including an
ongoing dispute as to pricing terms under the contract, are
discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis - Other Segment
contained in the Company's 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders,
which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company has had
discussions with the USPS on a range of possibilities for
restructuring the activities under the Priority Mail contract.
Although the Company cannot predict whether these discussions
will in fact result in additional payments to the Company or a
modification to the contract, the wide range of alternatives
discussed has included both increasing and decreasing the scope
of the Company's activities under the contract and both partial
and total termination of the contract. In addition, both the
Company and the USPS have notified each other of alleged breaches
under the contract. If the Company's activities under the
contract are curtailed or terminated, the costs could be
material. Likewise, it is possible that the USPS could assert
claims against the Company for breach of the contract or other
matters, which could be significant.
In March 2000, the Company filed a claim with the USPS related to
the Priority Mail contract to recover actual and expected
reductions to EWA's contract pricing. This claim was filed in
response to a reduction by the USPS in contract pricing for both
prior and future periods. The claim is in addition to the
previously reported 1999 pricing claim and substantially covers
the remaining initial term of the contract.
Road Systems and VantageParts
A majority of the revenue from Road Systems and, prior to the
sale of its assets in May 1999, VantageParts, was from sales to
other subsidiaries of the Company and to CFC. Road Systems
primarily manufactures and rebuilds trailers, converter dollies
and other transportation equipment.
Prior to the sale of its assets in May 1999, VantageParts served
as a distributor and remanufacturer of vehicle component parts
and accessories to the heavy-duty truck and trailer industry, as
well as the maritime, construction and aviation industries.
GENERAL
- -------
Employees
At December 31, 1999, the Company had approximately 34,400
regular employees of which 30,800 were regular full-time
employees. The 34,400 regular part-time and full-time employees
by segment were as follows: Con-Way, 15,100; Emery Worldwide,
11,900; Menlo, 2,200; Other segment, 4,300. Approximately 900
regular employees were employed by CNF in executive,
administrative and technology positions to support the Company's
operating subsidiaries.
- PAGE 11 -
Seasonality
The Company operates in industries that are affected directly by
general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, both of
which affect demand for transportation services. In a typical
year for the trucking and air freight industries, the months of
September and October usually have the highest business levels
while the months of January and February usually have the lowest
business levels. Operations under the Priority Mail contract
peak in December due primarily to higher shipping demand related
to the holiday season.
Regulation - Ground Transportation
The motor carrier industry is subject to federal regulation by
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Surface
Transportation Board (STB), both of which are units of the United
States Department of Transportation (DOT). The FHWA performs
certain functions inherited from the Interstate Commerce
Commission (ICC) relating chiefly to motor carrier registration,
cargo and liability insurance, extension of credit to motor
carrier customers, leasing of equipment by motor carriers from
owner-operators and enforces comprehensive trucking safety
regulations. The STB has authority to resolve certain types of
pricing disputes and authorize certain types of intercarrier
agreements under jurisdiction inherited from the ICC.
At the state level, federal preemption of economic regulation
does not prevent the states from regulating motor vehicle safety
on their highways. In addition, federal law allows all states to
impose insurance requirements on motor carriers conducting
business within their borders, and empowers most states to
require motor carriers conducting interstate operations through
their territory to make annual filings verifying that they hold
appropriate registrations from FHWA. Motor carriers also must
pay state fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, which
normally are apportioned on the basis of mileage operated in each
state.
Regulation - Air Transportation
The air transportation industry is subject to extensive
regulation by various federal, state and foreign governmental
entities. The industry is subject to federal regulation under
the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (Aviation Act) and
regulations issued by the DOT pursuant to the Aviation Act.
EAFC, as an air freight forwarder, and EWA, as an airline, are
subject to different regulations. Air freight forwarders are
exempted from most DOT economic regulations and are not subject
to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) safety regulations,
except security-related rules. Airlines such as EWA are subject
to, among other things, maintenance, operating and other safety-
related regulations by the FAA, including Airworthiness
Directives promulgated by the FAA which require airlines such as
EWA to make modifications to aircraft.
- PAGE 12 -
During recent years, operations at several airports have been
subject to restrictions or curfews on arrivals or departures
during certain night-time hours designed to reduce or eliminate
noise for surrounding residential areas. None of these
restrictions have materially affected EWA's or EAFC's operations.
If such restrictions were to be imposed with respect to the
airports at which EWA's or EAFC's activities are centered
(particularly EAFC's major Hub at the Dayton International
Airport), and no alternative airports were available to serve the
affected areas, there could be a material adverse effect on EWA's
or EAFC's operations. Under applicable law, the FAA is
authorized to establish aircraft noise standards and the
administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency is
authorized to issue regulations setting forth standards for
aircraft emissions. The Company believes that its present fleet
of owned, leased and chartered aircraft is operating in
substantial compliance with currently applicable noise and
emission laws.
Regulation - Environmental
The Company is subject to stringent laws and regulations that (i)
govern activities or operations that may have adverse
environmental effects such as discharges to air and water, as
well as handling and disposal practices for solid and hazardous
waste, and (ii) impose liability for the costs of cleaning up,
and certain damages resulting from, sites of past spills,
disposals or other releases of hazardous materials. In
particular, under applicable environmental laws, the Company may
be responsible for remediation of environmental conditions and
may be subject to associated liabilities (including liabilities
resulting from lawsuits brought by private litigants) relating to
its operations and properties. Environmental liabilities
relating to the Company's properties may be imposed regardless of
whether the Company leases or owns the properties in question and
regardless of whether such environmental conditions were created
by the Company or by a prior owner or tenant, and also may be
imposed with respect to properties which the Company may have
owned or leased in the past.
The Company's operations involve the storage, handling and use of
diesel and jet fuel and other hazardous substances. In
particular, the Company is subject to stringent environmental
laws and regulations dealing with underground fuel storage tanks
and the transportation of hazardous materials. The Company has
been designated a Potentially Responsible Party (PRP) by the EPA
with respect to the disposal of hazardous substances at various
sites. The Company expects that its share of the clean-up costs
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
CON-WAY TRANSPORTATION SERVICES SEGMENT
- ---------------------------------------
As of December 31, 1999, Con-Way operated 318 freight service
centers, of which 86 were owned and 232 were leased. The service
centers, which are strategically located to cover the geographic
area served by Con-Way, represent physical buildings and real
property with dock, office and/or shop space ranging in size from
approximately 1,000 to 96,000 square feet. These facilities do
not include meet-and-turn points, which generally represent small
owned or leased real property with no physical structures.
In addition to freight service centers operated by Con-Way's
regional carriers, Con-Way Integrated Services leases 3
warehouses near Los Angeles, California; Chicago, Illinois; and
Jersey City, New Jersey. The warehouses range in size from
approximately 103,000 to 171,000 square feet.
The total number of trucks, tractors and trailers utilized in the
Con-Way operations at December 31, 1999 was approximately 27,700.
EMERY WORLDWIDE SEGMENT
- -----------------------
Emery's hub system is centered at the Dayton, Ohio International
Airport (the Hub), where its leased air cargo facility and
related support facilities are located. The Hub, which
encompasses approximately 800,000 square feet, was financed by
City of Dayton, Ohio revenue bonds. The Hub and related property
secures the principal amount of the industrial revenue bonds.
As of December 31, 1999, EAFC operated 232 freight service
centers, of which 11 were owned. The service centers are
strategically located to cover the geographic areas served by
Emery. These facilities range in size from approximately 1,000
to 112,000 square feet of office, dock and/or shop space.
In addition to the freight service centers operated by EAFC, Emery
also leases various customer-dedicated warehouses and 4 large multi-
user warehouses in Dayton, Ohio; Miami, Florida; the Netherlands,
and Singapore. The multi-user warehouses range from approximately
104,000 to 136,000 square feet.
At December 31, 1999, Emery operated 74 aircraft, of which 26
were owned and 48 were leased. In addition to owned and leased
aircraft, Emery "wet leases" aircraft on a short-term basis to
supplement nightly capacity and to provide feeder services. The
wet lease agreements call for the owner-lessor to provide flight
crews, insurance, maintenance, fuel and other supplies required
to operate the aircraft. Although aircraft under wet leases can
vary depending on seasonal demand, 17 aircraft were used in
connection with these agreements as of December 31, 1999. At
December 31, 1999, EWA had entered into commitments for operating
leases for 9 new aircraft to be delivered in 2000.
- PAGE 14 -
As of December 31, 1999, 1 aircraft was dedicated for exclusive
use in the Priority Mail operations and 19 of the aircraft
reported above were designated for shared use with the Priority
Mail operation. These aircraft, which are used primarily at
night in EWA's commercial non-Priority Mail freight operations,
are also used in "daylight turns" of aircraft for the
transportation of Priority Mail. As of December 31, 1999, 26
aircraft were dedicated to service the Express Mail contract with
the USPS. Operations related to the Express Mail contract are
included in the Emery Worldwide segment and the Priority Mail
operations are included in the Other segment.
At December 31, 1999, EAFC operated approximately 1,700 trucks,
tractors and trailers, as well as equipment provided by its
agents.
MENLO LOGISTICS SEGMENT
- -----------------------
As of December 31, 1999, Menlo operated 35 warehouses. Of these
warehouses operated by Menlo, 25 were leased by Menlo and 9 were
leased or owned by Menlo's clients. The 25 facilities leased by
Menlo ranged in size from approximately 16,000 to 366,000 square
feet.
At December 31, 1999, Menlo operated approximately 400 trucks,
tractors and trailers.
OTHER SEGMENT
- -------------
The principal operating properties of the Other segment are
comprised primarily of 10 Priority Mail Processing Centers
(PMPCs) and related sortation and transportation equipment. The
PMPCs, which are large warehouses modified for efficient
sortation of mail, range in size from approximately 120,000 to
300,000 square feet. The 10 PMPCs are located in the eastern
United States in Newark and Bridgeport, New Jersey; Bethpage and
Rochester, New York; Nashua, New Hampshire; Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Jacksonville, Miami
and Orlando, Florida.
As discussed above under "Emery Worldwide Segment", as of
December 31, 1999, 1 aircraft in EWA's fleet was used exclusively
in the Priority Mail operations and 19 of the aircraft that are
dedicated to Emery's operations were designated for shared use
with the Priority Mail operation. These aircraft, which are used
primarily at night in EWA's commercial non-Priority Mail freight
operations, are also used in "daylight turns" of aircraft for the
transportation of Priority Mail.
At December 31, 1999, approximately 900 trucks, tractors and
trailers were operated by EWA in the Priority Mail operation.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The legal proceedings of the Company are summarized in Note 12 of
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the
1999 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by
reference. Discussion of environmental matters is presented in
Item 1.
The Department of Transportation, through its Office of Inspector
General, and the Federal Aviation Administration are conducting
an investigation relating to the handling of hazardous materials
by Emery. The investigation is ongoing and Emery is cooperating
fully. Because the investigation is at a preliminary stage, we
are unable to predict the outcome of this investigation.
On February 16, 2000, a DC-8 cargo aircraft operated by EWA
crashed shortly after take-off from Mather Field, near
Sacramento, California. The crew of three was killed. There
were no reported injuries on the ground. The cause of the crash
has not been determined. The National Transportation Safety
Board has begun an investigation.
We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter or
the effect it may have on the Company. We may be subject to
claims and proceedings relating to the crash, which could include
private lawsuits seeking monetary damages and governmental
proceedings. Although EWA maintains insurance that is intended
to cover claims that may arise in connection with an airplane
crash, the Company cannot assure that the insurance will in fact
be adequate to cover all possible types of claims. In
particular, any claims for punitive damages or any impact of
possible government proceedings or other sanctions would not be
covered by insurance.

ABOUT MARKET RISK 12
Certain statements included or incorporated by reference herein
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Any such
forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference
herein should not be relied upon as predictions of future events.
Certain such forward-looking statements can be identified by the
use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects,"
"may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends,"
"plans," "estimates" or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or
other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by
discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Such forward-
looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data
or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and they may be
incapable of being realized. In that regard, the following
factors, among others and in addition to the matters discussed
below and elsewhere in this document and in documents
incorporated by reference herein, could cause actual results and
other matters to differ materially from those in such forward-
looking statements: changes in general business and economic
conditions; increasing domestic and international competition and
pricing pressure; changes in fuel prices, particularly in light
of recent fuel price increases; uncertainty regarding the
Company's Priority Mail contract with the USPS, including
uncertainties regarding the Company's claims under the contract
described herein or incorporated by reference; labor matters,
including changes in labor costs, renegotiations of labor
contracts and the risk of work stoppages or strikes; changes in
governmental regulation; environmental and tax matters, including
- PAGE 17 -
claims made by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the
aviation excise tax and aircraft maintenance tax matters
discussed in documents incorporated by reference; and matters
relating to the spin-off of Consolidated Freightways Corporation
(CFC). In that regard, the Company is or may be subject to
substantial liabilities with respect to certain matters relating
to CFC's business and operations, including, without limitation,
guarantees of certain indebtedness of CFC and liabilities for
employment-related, tax and environmental matters, including the
tax matters discussed in documents incorporated by reference.
Although CFC is, in general, either the primary or secondary
obligor or jointly and severally liable with the Company with
respect to these matters, a failure to pay or other default by
CFC with respect to the obligations as to which the Company is or
may be, or may be perceived to be, liable, whether because of CFC
successfully contesting their obligation to reimburse the Company
or otherwise, could lead to substantial claims against the
Company. As a result of the foregoing, no assurance can be given
as to future results of operations or financial condition.
