AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The information presented herein as of March 31, 1997, and for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, is unaudited. The December 31, 1996, balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - ---------------------------------------------- Management's Representation - --------------------------- In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements are reflected in the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and notes of General Parcel Service, Inc. (the "Company"). Corporate Name Change - --------------------- The Company will change its name to Transit Group, Inc. effective June 30, 1997. This name change reflects the new strategic direction of the Company as it concentrates its operations in the truckload and less-than-load motor carrier industry. Net Loss per Common Share - ------------------------- Net loss applicable to common shares is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods reported. Any assumption of conversion of common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants, is anti-dilutive and has not been considered in determining net loss per share or the weighted average number of shares outstanding. 2. Common Stock ------------ The Company's Chairman, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, certain affiliates of the Company's Chairman and another individual subscribed to purchase approximately 3.3 million shares of restricted common stock in May 1997 for cash, cancellation of debt and assumption of debt in the amount of approximately $5.8 million. Through May 16, 1997, the Company has received cash of $1,210,000 and debt has been canceled in the amount of $650,000. The remaining payment obligations under the stock subscriptions agreements are expected to be fulfilled by June 15, 1997. 3. Preferred Stock --------------- Dividends of $148,750 payable in April 1997 on 320,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock were not paid and are in arrears. 5 4. Discontinued Operations ----------------------- During the second and third quarters of 1996, the Company expanded its parcel shipping and delivery operations in North Carolina and commenced service throughout the state of South Carolina. The Company was not able to achieve profitable operations in either state during 1996 and in January 1997, decided to cease parcel delivery operations in both North Carolina and South Carolina as of March 31, 1997. Expenses, net of revenues, attributable to the discontinued operations in North Carolina and South Carolina from the date the decision was made to discontinue such operations through March 31, 1997 of $477,597 and a provision for incremental costs directly related to the discontinuance of such operations of $570,489 are included in the loss from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations has appropriately not been reflected as an APB No. 30 disposal of a segment. 5. Letters of Intent to Acquire Trucking Companies ----------------------------------------------- In May 1997, the Company executed letters of intent to acquire three privately-held trucking companies in seperate transactions. The three companies have combined annual revenues of approximately $84 million and will be purchased by the Company for cash and stock. Management believes that the aggregate value of the three transactions will be between $28 to $30 million. 6 GENERAL PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements including the footnotes and is qualified in its entirety by the foregoing and other more detailed financial information appearing elsewhere herein. Historical results of operations and the percentage relationships among any amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, and any trends which may appear to be inferable therefrom, should not be taken as being necessarily indicative of trends in operations or results of operations for any future periods. Comments in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding the Company's business which are not historical facts are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Amount these risks are the Company is in a highly competitive business, has a history of operating losses, and is pursuing a growth strategy that relies in part on the completion of acquisitions of companies in the trucking industry. There can be no assurance that in its highly competitive business environment, the Company will successfully improve its operating profitability or consumate such acquisitions. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Except for the year ending December 31, 1993, the Company has experienced negative annual operating cash flows since its inception. Expansion of operations and operating losses since inception have been funded from six major sources: 1) private placements of restricted shares of common and preferred stock to its principal shareholders, 2) proceeds from its initial public offering of common stock in November, 1989, 3) installment loans and leases from third party lenders collateralized by equipment acquired to support business growth, 4) a bank line of credit collateralized by accounts receivable and stock owned by a major shareholder and his affiliates, 5) short term borrowings from banks and shareholders, 6) debt issued and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of the assets of Transit Express of Charlotte, Inc. As of March 31, 1997, the Company had raised net equity capital of $8,145,052 from private placements of restricted common shares, $10,417,489 from private placements of preferred stock, $2,715,700 from its initial public offering of November 2, 1989 and $150,000 from the sale of unrestricted common shares. When combined with cumulative operating losses since inception of $20,990,596 and $953,804 of dividends paid on preferred stock, the Company's net stockholders' deficit as of March 31, 1997 was $516,159. The Company's Chairman, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, certain affiliates of the Company's Chairman and another individual subscribed to purchase approximately 3.3 million shares of restricted common stock in May 1997 for cash, cancellation of debt and assumption of debt in the amount of approximately $5.8 million. Through May 16, 1997, the Company has received cash of $1,210,000 and debt has been canceled in the amount of $650,000. The remaining payment obligations under the stock subscription agreements are expected to be fulfilled by June 15, 1997. In May 1997, the Company executed letters of intent to acquire three privately-held trucking companies in separate transactions. The three companies have combined annual revenues of approximately 7 $84 million and will be purchased by the Company for cash and stock. Management believes that the aggregate value of the three transactions will be between $28 to $30 million. As of March 31, 1997 the Company was contractually obligated to repay $6,744,939 of indebtedness to equipment lessors, banks and other secured lenders, $300,000 to holders of its convertible debentures and $150,000 to an affiliate of the Company's Chairman. In addition, the Company owed $1,998,717 to suppliers of goods and services necessary for the conduct of ongoing business including amounts represented by issued and outstanding checks, and had accrued salaries and other expenses of $1,768,472 which were unpaid at March 31, 1997. Cash used in operations during the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $808,348 as compared to cash provided by operations for the first three months of 1996 of $153,128. The net cash used in operations resulted primarily from the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This loss was partially offset by the non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization, an increase in accounts payable, a decrease in accounts receivable, and a decrease in accrued expenses. The Company's cash balance decreased by $29,285 during the first three months of 1997. The Company increased its borrowings under its bank lines of credit by $2,086,900 during the first three months of 1997. The revolving credit agreement provides for interest payable monthly for advances of $1,000,000 or greater at the lower interest of the thirty day LIBOR rate plus .75% or the Bank's prime interest rate less .75% and for all other advances at the Bank's prime interest rate less .75%. The $3,250,000 revolving credit agreement is collateralized by the Company's accounts receivable and certain stock certificates pledged by the a major shareholder. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has borrowed the full amount available under the line of credit. Management's estimates that it will incur a net loss for the second quarter of 1997 with operating losses at various Florida and Georgia facilities. Cash requirements to fund operating losses and debt service are substantial. All of these factors raise the question as to whether the Company will continue to operate as a going concern. While expense containment measures such as closing the North and South Carolina parcel delivery operations have been instituted, management is nonetheless pursuing several strategies for reducing costs and raising additional resources through debt or equity transactions. Management believes, but can offer no assurances, that it can improve operating performance and cash flows through the following measures: *Decreasing or Eliminating Parcel Delivery Operations in Florida and Georgia. - ----------------------------------------------------- During 1997, management plans to reduce or eliminate the losses from the Florida and Georgia parcel delivery operations by reducing the size of the parcel delivery operations to a size that can achieve profitable operations, selling the parcel delivery operations to an unrelated entity or discontinuing the parcel delivery operations. *Establishing a New Corporate Structure to Acquire Profitable Trucking Operations. - ---------------------------------------------------- The Company intends to reorganize into a "holding company" format to be based in Atlanta, Georgia. This new corporate structure is intended to increase the Company's flexibility to pursue the acquisition and operation of profitable less-than-load (LTL) and truckload motor carriers. In May 1997, the Company executed 8 letters of intent to acquire three privately-held trucking companies in separate transactions. The three companies have combined annual revenues of approximately $84 million and will be purchased by the Company for cash and stock. Management believes that the aggregate value of the three transactions will be between 		 $28 to $30 million. The Company's intent is to identify and acquire additional mid-size trucking companies, primarily with annual revenues between $10 million and $100 million, that possess strong market positions, sound management and a commitment to a high level of service and quality. *Relying on Equity Sales to or Loans from a Major Shareholder. - -------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's Chairman, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, certain affiliates of the Company's Chairman and another individual subscribed to purchase approximately 3.3 million shares of restricted common stock in May 1997 for cash, cancellation of debt and assumption of debt in the 		 amount of approximately $5.8 million. Through May 16, 1997, the Company has received cash of $1,210,000 and debt has been canceled in the amount of $650,000. The remaining purchase 		 obligations under the subscription agreements are expected to be fulfilled by June 15, 1997. Although there can be no assurances of any continued funding, management will continue to explore funding opportunities from its major shareholders. Financial Condition - ------------------- As of March 31, 1997, the Company's working capital deficit (current liabilities less current assets) was $6,141,983, which was an increase of $2,368,224 from the $3,773,759 working capital deficit at December 31, 1996. Total current assets of $2,340,149 included cash of $6,674, accounts receivable of $2,013,095, prepaid insurance premiums and deposits of $59,870, inventories of tires, parts, uniforms and supplies of $173,757 and other prepaid expenses of $86,753. Current liabilities of $8,482,132 included current obligations under leases and other lending agreements of $4,714,943, amounts owed to trade creditors of $1,998,717, including amounts represented by issued and outstanding checks, and other accrued expenses of $1,768,472. Total assets as of March 31, 1997, decreased by $738,072 (or 6.4%) during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $10,732,286. Accounts receivable decreased by $357,739 (or 15.1%) during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $2,013,095 primarily because of the decrease in revenue resulting from closing the North Carolina and South Carolina parcel delivery terminals. The number of weeks sales in outstanding receivables was 5.2 at March 31, 1997, compared to 5.1 at December 31, 1996. Other current assets of $320,380 decreased by $80,190 (or 20.0%) primarily because of a decrease in prepaid insurance premiums and prepaid expenses. The net book value of equipment decreased by $250,769 (or 3.3%) to $7,252,465 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 as a result of depreciation of $520,301 exceeding additions of $269,532. There were no disposals during this period. The additions included $123,276 for ten new pick-up trucks and $89,623 for four new cargo vans, $7,764 for life-extending equipment repairs, $20,147 for terminal equipment and $28,722 for computers and other office equipment. 9 Total liabilities of $11,248,445 increased by $1,790,758 (or 18.9%) during the three months ended March 31, 1997. This resulted primarily from a increase in total bank and other debt by $2,227,037 (or 110.7%) to $4,239,056, a decrease in accounts payable by $671,219 (or 25.1%) to $1,998,717, an increase in accrued expenses by $451,307 (or 34.3%) to $1,768,472 and a decrease in obligations under capital leases of $13,355 (or 0.5%). Capital lease obligations of $2,655,883 decreased during the three months ended March 31, 1997 as a result of $226,251 of scheduled principal payments in excess of $212,896 of new additions. The additions to capitalized leases were for five new cargo vans and 10 new pick-up trucks. Long term debt of $839,056 decreased $59,863 (or 6.7%) as a result of repayment of $59,863 of scheduled principal payments. Short-term borrowings increased by $2,086,900 to $3,400,000 (or 158.9%) as a result of an increase in the Company's utilization of its line of credit to fund operations, service debt and pay lease payments and borrowing from an affiliate of the Company's Chairman. The Company's stockholders' equity decreased during three months ended March 31, 1997 by $2,528,830 to a deficit of $516,159 at March 31, 1997, as a result of the net loss for the period. Results of Operations - Three months ended March 31, 1997 versus three months ended March 31, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------- During the second and third quarters of 1996, the Company expanded its parcel shipping and delivery operations in North Carolina and commenced service throughout the state of South Carolina. The Company was not able to achieve profitable operations in either state during 1996 and in January, 1997, decided to cease parcel delivery operations in both North Carolina and South Carolina as of March 31, 1997. Expenses, net of revenues, attributable to the discontinued operations in North Carolina and South Carolina from the date the decision was made to discontinue such operations of $477,597 and a provision for incremental costs directly related to the discontinuance of such operations of $570,489 are included in the loss from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations of $1,048,086 represents 41.4% of the $2,528,830 net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $5,064,992 and represented a decrease of $718,679 (or 12.4%) over the revenue for the same period last year. The revenue decrease resulted from the loss of several large customers during the second and fourth quarters of 1996. Total operating expenses (excluding interest expense) of $7,416,193 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased by $1,364,986 (or 22.6%) compared to the total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The operating ratio (total operating expenses excluding interest as a percentage of revenue), was 146.4% in the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 104.6% in the same period of 1996.

Purchased transportation decreased to $70,999 in the three months ended March 31, 1997, from $98,159 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The $27,160 (or 27.7%) decrease was a result of fewer packages brought into the Company's distribution area from outside its operating area. Selling and administrative expense of $1,084,271 was $116,748 (or 12.1%) higher than the 1996 same period level and increased as a percentage of revenue from 16.7 % in the three months ended March 31, 1996 to 21.4% in the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from increases in group health insurance, loss and damage claims and office equipment expense. Interest expense of $177,629 decreased by $29,151 (or 14.1%) compared to the same 1996 period primarily as a result of funding capital and operating needs through the sale of preferred stock rather than through debt. 11 GENERAL PARCEL SERVICE, INC.
