AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The information presented herein as of June 30, 1997, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 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. Basis of Presentation - ------------------------- Transit Group, Inc.'s ("the Company") consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1997, its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and its consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1997 present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company reflecting the disposal of the parcel delivery and courier operations (see Note 4). The Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and its consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 have been restated to reflect the disposal of such businesses. 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - ---------------------------------------------- Management's Representation - --------------------------- The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance and consistent with the accounting policies stated in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements appearing therein. 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 except for adjustments recorded pursuant to APB 30 (see Note 4). 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 the Company. Corporate Name Change - --------------------- The Company formerly known as General Parcel Service, Inc. changed 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 motor carrier industry. Net Loss per Common Shares - -------------------------- 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. 3. Common Stock Sales - ---------------------- On May 2, 1997, 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 3,387,187 shares of restricted common stock for cash, cancellation of debt and assumption of debt in the amount of approximately $5.9 million. In June 1997, warrants were exercised to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock for $62,500. 5 3. Preferred Stock - ------------------- The holders of the Company's outstanding preferred stock elected to convert their preferred stock and accrued dividends to common stock on June 30, 1997. The Company issued 4,323,922 shares of common stock upon the conversion. 4. Discontinued Operations - --------------------------- During the second quarter of 1997, the Company approved a plan to dispose of its parcel delivery and courier operations and has executed a letter of intent for the sale of a portion of such businesses. It is expected that substantially all property and equipment and certain capital and operating lease obligations will be assumed by the buyer. The Company anticipates that the disposal will be substantially completed as of September 1, 1997. Revenues attributable to the discontinued businesses were $9,778,792 and $11,383,993 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company has recorded a provision for losses during the phase-out period of approximately $800,000. A tax benefit has not been provided on the losses from discontinued operations because it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the losses may not produce a tax benefit. The loss from discontinued operations has been reflected as an APB No. 30 disposal of a segment. The December 31, 1996 consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 have been restated to separately reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the discontinued parcel delivery and courier businesses. 5. Business Combinations - ------------------------- In May 1997, the Company executed letters of intent to acquire four privately-held trucking companies in separate transactions. The four companies have combined annual revenues of approximately $100 million and are expected to be purchased by the Company for cash and stock. Management believes that the aggregate purchase price of the four transactions will be between $47 to $50 million. On July 11, 1997, the Company consummated the first of its announced acquisitions by acquiring Carolina Pacific Distributors, Inc. ("Carolina Pacific"), a privately-held North Carolina corporation, and the business and related assets operated by the owners of Carolina Pacific. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement executed at closing (the "Agreement"), Transit Group purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of Carolina Pacific and the business and related assets operated and owned by the shareholders of Carolina Pacific for a purchase price of approximately $11.3 million consisting of $3.7 million 6 in cash at closing, issuance of 1,733,000 shares of common stock of the Company to the shareholders of Carolina Pacific and assumption of approximately $0.6 million of debt. Carolina Pacific, which has been in business for more than 20 years, is a truckload carrier based in Highpoint, North Carolina. The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 account for the acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The pro forma results give effect to the amortization of goodwill, the effects of additional interest expense and certain other adjustments.

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 Operations, 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. Among 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 consummate such acquisitions. The following discussion and analysis reflect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows as restated to reflect the disposal of the parcel delivery and courier operations in accordance with APB No. 30. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and cash flow deficits since inception. From September 1985 through June 30, 1997, the Company had accumulated a deficit from operating losses of $32,300,206. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had raised $27,803,255 from (i) private placements of preferred stock, (ii) its initial public offering of November 2, 1989 and (iii) the sale of restricted and unrestricted common shares and has paid dividends on its preferred stock of approximately $1,338,804. As a result of equity placements, dividends on preferred stock and cumulative losses, the stockholders' deficit as of June 30, 1997, was $5,835,755. In May 1997, the Company executed letters of intent to acquire four privately-held trucking companies in separate transactions. On July 11, 1997, the Company purchased Carolina Pacific Distributors, Inc. ("Carolina Pacific") and the business and related assets operated by the owners of Carolina Pacific (see Note 5). The three remaining companies have combined annual revenues of approximately $90 million and are expected to be purchased by the Company for cash and stock. Management believes that the aggregate purchase price of the three transactions will be between $36 to $39 million. Management believes, but can offer no assurances, that it can improve operating performance and cash flows through the following measures: Eliminating Parcel Delivery and Courier Operations. - ---------------------------------------------------- Management has entered into a letter of intent to sell the unprofitable	 parcel delivery operations to Western Parcel Express and expects this sale to close in September 1997. Management is currently negotiating for the sale of the courier operation and expects to complete this sale in September 1997. 8 Acquiring Profitable Trucking Operations. - ----------------------------------------- The Company has reorganized into a "holding company" format based in Atlanta, Georgia. This new corporate structure is intended to increase the Company's flexibility to pursue the acquisition and operation of profitable truckload motor carriers. The Company's intent is to continue 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 Major Shareholders. - ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 3.4 million shares of restricted common stock in May 1997 for cash, cancellation of debt and assumption of debt in the 		 amount of approximately $5.9 million. In July 1997, the Company's Chairman loaned the Company $4 million to consummate the acquisition of Carolina Pacific Distributors, Inc. Obtaining Bank Financing. - ------------------------- Management is negotiating new lines of bank financing to provide working capital financing and financing for acquisition of additional truckload motor carriers. Financial Condition - ------------------- As of June 30, 1997, the Company has treated its parcel delivery operations and courier operations as discontinued operations. The Company's outstanding vehicle and equipment indebtedness and certain operating leases will either be assumed by the companies purchasing the operations or will be paid with proceeds from the sale. Results of Operations - Three and six months ended June 30, 1997 versus three and six months ended June 30, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------- At June 30, 1997, the Company had no revenues from continuing operations. The Company plans to satisfy its cash requirements for the next 12 months through revenues generated by companies acquired by the Company, such as Carolina Pacific, or companies to be acquired by the Company. The Company is negotiating new lines of bank financing to provide working capital. If necessary, the Company will raise additional capital through the issuance of restricted stock. Revenues from continuing operations commenced on July 11, 1997 with the purchase of Carolina Pacific and are expected to increase with the anticipated acquisition of the three additional companies with which it has executed letters of intent. The Company incurred corporate administration expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997 of $174,658 as compared to $59,205 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. For the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred administration expenses of $268,066 as compared to $233,863 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. These increases are attributable the reorganization to a holding company format and the opening of new corporate office in Atlanta. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company approved a plan to dispose of its parcel delivery and courier operations and has executed a letter of intent with Western Parcel Express for the sale of a portion of such businesses. It is expected that substantially all property and equipment and certain capital and 9 operating lease obligations will be assumed by the buyer. The Company anticipates that the disposal will be substantially completed in September 1997. Revenues attributable to the discontinued businesses were $9,778,792 and $11,383,993 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company has recorded a provision for losses during the phase-out period of approximately $800,000. A tax benefit has not been provided on the losses from discontinued operations because it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the losses may not produce a tax benefit. 10 TRANSIT GROUP, INC.
