INTRENET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 1997
(Unaudited)



(1) Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements



	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Intrenet, Inc. and all of its
subsidiaries (collectively, the Company).  Truckload carrier
subsidiaries at March 31, 1997 were Roadrunner Trucking, Inc.
(RRT), Eck Miller Transportation Corporation (EMT), Advanced
Distribution System, Inc. (ADS), and Roadrunner Distribution 
Services, Inc. (RDS). Also included is the Company's intermodal
broker and logistics manager, INET Logistics, Inc. (INL). All
significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in
consolidation.  Through its subsidiaries, the Company provides
general and specialized regional truckload carrier brokerage and
logistics management services throughout North America.



	The consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC).  In management's opinion, these
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. 
Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements
unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the
most recent fiscal year.  For this reason, the accompanying
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for
the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's 1996
Annual Report on Form 10-K.



	The results for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire year.





(2) Earnings  Per Common and Common Equivalent Share



	Earnings per common and common equivalent share have been
computed on the basis of the weighted average common shares
outstanding during the periods.  No effect has been included for
options or warrants outstanding, if the effect would be
antidilutive.  The Financial Accountings Standard Board recently
released a new accounting rule on the calculation of earnings
per share that is effective at year-end 1997.  This rule, which
does not permit early adoption, is not expected to have a
material effect on the Company's reported earnings per share.





(3) Income Taxes



	Income taxes in interim periods are generally provided on the
basis of the estimated effective tax rate for the year. In 1997,
however, as a result of the first quarter pre-tax losses, and
the uncertainty related to forecasting future operating results
in the current competitive operating environment, the Company
has not recorded any income tax benefit in the three months
ended March 31, 1997. The tax benefit from the first quarter
losses will be recorded when earnings recover, and the tax
benefit becomes realizable.Item 2. Management's Discussion and
Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations





Results of Operations



Introduction



	The Company reported a net loss of $252,000 on revenues of
$57.7 million in the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
This compares with a net loss of $1.5 million on revenues of
$52.7 million in the comparable period of 1996.  The Company's
revenue grew by 9.4 percent compared to the first quarter of
1996 and each of its four largest wholly owned subsidiaries, Eck
Miller Transportation, Roadrunner Trucking, Advanced
Distribution System and Roadrunner Distribution Services
reported revenue improvements.  The improvement to Intrenet's
business results continues to be an active and on-going campaign
to deliver high quality transportation services while reducing
operating expenses.  This improvement occurred despite the fact
that fuel prices averaged approximately $.09 per gallon more in
the first quarter of 1997 than 1996.  Fuel prices did decline
during the first quarter and are currently lower than the
Company experienced in the second quarter of 1996.  Barring any
unforeseen changes in the overall economy or in the price of
fuel, management expects to benefit from continuing cost
reduction programs in the areas of safety, fuel purchasing and
insurance costs.  In addition, the Company expects to benefit
from greater equipment utilization and an expanded fleet to
allow for revenue growth.  Management expects continuing
momentum from the aforementioned cost reduction programs will
enable the Company to achieve profitability in 1997.



	The company reported that revenue miles for the first quarter
of 1997 increased to 40.4 million miles up from 39.0 million
miles.  Revenue per mile in the first quarter of 1997 also
improved by 3.1 percent to $1.33 per mile, up from $1.29
compared to first quarter 1996 results.



	Intrenet's total operating fleet, including owner-operators,
grew approximately 8 percent during the first quarter of 1997 to
2,254 tractors from 2,082 tractors in 1996.  The growth in the
Company's fleet is due to a 27 percent increase in the number of
owner-operators as compared with the first quarter of 1996.



	A discussion of the impact of the above and other factors on
the results of operations in the three months ended March 31,
1997 as compared to the comparable period of 1996 follows.

Operating Revenues



	Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997
totaled $57.6 million as compared to $52.7 million for the same
period in 1996, reflecting better freight availability than the
prior year.  Each of the company's four motor carrier
subsidiaries  reflected  revenue growth in  the  first  quarter 
of  1997 by comparison to the prior year.  The 



Company's $4.9 million in revenue growth resulted  from the
increased use of owner operators ($3.4 million) and freight
brokered  to other carriers  ($1.5 million).  The average number
of company owned tractors declined 4.0%  from 1,264 to 1,214,
while the average owner-operator tractor count increased 18.3%
from 838 to 991.  Approximately 55% of the Company's revenue in
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 was generated by
Company operated equipment, and 37% by owner-operator equipment.
This compares to approximately 61% and 35% in the 1996 period. 
The remaining revenues were from freight brokered to other
carriers.  



	The Company experienced a slight, 3.1%, improvement in the
average revenue per revenue mile in 1997 as compared to 1996. 
Part of this improvement was the result of a partial recovery of
increased fuel costs by way of a fuel surcharge on the customer
freight rates.



Operating Expenses



 	The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of
operating expenses to operating revenues for the three months
ended March 31. 

						 

				    Three Months 	Ended March 31  

						 1997  	 1996  	 

Operating revenues 				100 % 	100 % 	 

  	 	 	 

Operating expenses: 	 	 	 

   Purchased transportation 	 	 	 

       and equipment rents 			41.3 	38.7 	 

   Salaries, wages and benefits 		25.1 	27.4 	 

   Fuel and other operating expenses 		21.3 	22.7 	 

   Operating taxes and licenses 	  	4.6 	  4.9 	   

   Insurance and claims           	  		3.5 	  3.6  	 

   Depreciation 	  			2.0 	  2.0 	 

   Other operating expenses 	  		1.2 	  2.2 	 

 	 	 	 

         Total operating expenses 		99.0% 	 101.5%   





	Purchased transportation and equipment rents increased as a
percentage of revenue due to the significant growth in the
Company's use of owner-operators.  Correspondingly, salaries,
wages and benefits decreased as a percentage of revenue because
of the relatively smaller portion of the Company's total revenue
generated by Company operated equipment and the growing portion
of the Company's total revenue from freight brokered to other
carriers.  Fuel and other operating expenses are attributable to
Company operated equipment and these expenses also decline in
relation to the growth in the use of owner-operators and freight
brokered to other carriers.  Other operating expenses decreased
in 1997 over 1996 due to lower provisions for doubtful accounts,
reduced professional fees and reduced accounts receivable
service fees.



Interest Expense



	Interest expense increased in 1997, primarily as a result of
the increased borrowings under the bank revolving line of credit
resulting from the Company's decision to discontinue its
accounts receivable factoring service.


Provision for Income Taxes


	Income taxes in interim periods are generally provided on the
basis of the estimated effective tax rate for the year. In 1997,
however, as a result of the first quarter pre-tax losses, and
the uncertainty related to forecasting future operating results
in the current competitive environment, the Company has not
recorded any income tax benefit in the three months ended March
31, 1997. The tax benefit from the first quarter losses will be
recorded when earnings recover, and the tax benefit becomes
realizable.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


	The Company generated $0.9 million in cash in the first three
months of 1997. As reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, the Company used $1.4 million of cash
in operating activities, primarily to finance increased accounts
receivable and to purchase plates and permits for the Company's
fleet.  This cash use was offset by $2.3  million of cash
generated by financing activities, primarily bank borrowings.  



	The Company's day-to-day financing is provided by borrowings
under a bank credit facility. The credit facility consists of a
$5 million term loan, $3.4 million of which is currently
outstanding, with a final maturity of December 31, 1999, and a
$28 million revolving line of credit which expires January 15,
1999.  Quarterly principal payments of $312,500 on the term loan
are required.  The line of credit includes provisions for the
issuance of stand-by letters of credit which, as issued, reduce
available borrowings under the line of credit.  Borrowings under
the line of credit are limited to amounts determined by a
formula tied to the Company's eligible accounts receivable and
inventories, as defined in the credit facility (The Borrowing
Base).  Borrowings under the revolving line of credit totaled
$6.7 million at March 31, 1997, and outstanding letters of
credit totaled $6.3 million at that date. The combination of
these two totaled $13.0 million, leaving $6.7 million of
borrowing capacity available at March 31, 1997. Since that date,
the Company's available borrowing capacity under the credit
facility has increased, and has averaged approximately $7.6
million in the last  ten days of April.


	The Company believes that cash generated from operations, and
cash available to it under the bank credit facility will be
sufficient to meet the Company's needs for the foreseeable
future.
