FROZEN FOOD EXPRESS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 1995 and 1994
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated condensed financial statements include Frozen Food Express
Industries, Inc. (FFEX) and its subsidiary companies (the company), all of which
are wholly owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed financial statements included
herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and have not been audited or reviewed
by independent public accountants. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which consisted only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position and results of operations have been made.
Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and 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. FFEX believes that the disclosures contained herein, when
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included, or
incorporated by reference, in FFEX's Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29,
1995, are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is
suggested, therefore, that these statements be read in conjunction with the
statements and notes (included, or incorporated by reference), in the
aforementioned report on Form 10-K.
2. FINANCING AND INVESTING ACTIVITIES NOT AFFECTING CASH
During the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the company funded
contributions to its Employee Savings Plan by transferring 40,975 and 47,086
shares, respectively, of treasury stock to the Plan trustee. The fair market
value of the transferred shares was approximately $484,000 for 1995 and
approximately $604,000 for 1994.
3. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
As of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, there were 16,103,001 and 12,666,684
shares of stock outstanding.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The company has accrued for costs related to public liability and work-related
injury claims, some of which involve litigation. The aggregate amount of these
claims is significant. In the opinion of management, these actions can be
successfully defended or resolved, and any additional costs incurred over
amounts accrued will not have a material adverse effect on the company's
financial position or results of operations.
5. NET INCOME PER SHARE
For 1994, net income per share and weighted shares outstanding have been
restated to give effect to a 5-for-4 stock split effected in the form of a 25%
stock dividend paid during March, 1995.
6. PRIOR PERIOD AMOUNTS
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year
presentation.

==== ==== ==== ====
SECOND QUARTER OF 1995 VS. 1994
During the second quarter of 1995, revenue increased by 5% to $73,837,000 with
freight revenue up $2.2 million or 3.4% and non-freight revenue up $1.3 million
or about 23%. Less-than-truckload (LTL) revenue was 1.8% lower while full-
truckload revenue increased by 6.1% as compared to the same quarter of 1994.
Full-truckload activities accounted for 68% and 66% of freight revenue during
the second quarter of 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The decrease in LTL revenue resulted primarily from a decrease in the number of
shipments transported. During the second quarter of 1994, LTL revenue was 8%
higher than in the comparable quarter of 1993. That increase was in part due to
a 24-day strike which affected unionized haulers of less-than-truckload freight,
which created a temporary increase in demand for the company's services. The
absence of such an increase in demand during the 1995 quarter, coupled with
general softness in the perishable commodity transportation industry resulted in
decreased LTL shipments during 1995 as compared to 1994.
The increase in full-truckload revenue resulted primarily from a 6.9% increase
in the number of shipments transported.
The number of tractors in the fleet of company-operated, full-truckload
equipment rose from approximately 1,000 at the beginning of 1995 to about 1,045
by the end of the quarter, while the number of full-truckload tractors provided
by owner-operators increased by about 90 units.
Full-truckload activities, which contributed 68% and 66% of freight revenue
during the second quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively, are conducted
primarily with company-operated equipment, while LTL activities are conducted
primarily with equipment provided by owner-operators. This increase in the
percentage of freight revenue derived from full-truckload shipments impacted the
percent of freight revenue absorbed by the various categories of operating
expenses between the two quarters.
During 1994, the company expanded transportation services for customers shipping
products to and from Mexico and Canada. Approximately 6% of 1994's freight
revenue was derived from international activities. During 1995, efforts to
continue expanding international services have been negatively affected by the
devaluation of the Mexican peso. Accordingly, the percentage of revenue derived
from international activities has not changed appreciably during 1995.
As of June 30,1995, approximately 27% of the full-truckload fleet consisted of
tractors provided by owner-operators as compared to 22% at January 1, 1995, June
30, 1994 and January 1, 1994. This increased participation by the owner-
operator fleet has also affected the mix of operating expenses as a percent of
freight revenue.
Purchased transportation, which consists primarily of payments to owner-
operators, increased from 20.6% of freight revenue for the second quarter of
1994 to 21.6% for 1995. This increase is primarily related to the less rapid
expansion of the company-operated, full-truckload fleet.
Revenue equipment rent, which is primarily related to the company-operated,
full-truckload fleet, rose from 6.3% to 6.7% of freight revenue while
depreciation expense was unchanged at 3.9% of freight revenue. The change
resulted primarily from the addition of new leased trailers.
Operating income increased from $5,986,000 to $6,066,000 between the two
quarters.
Interest and other expense rose from $410,000 to $600,000 between the two
quarters. Due to substantially lower borrowings under the company's line of
credit, interest expense associated with bank debt was significantly less during
the 1995 quarter. This reduction was more than offset by net expenses
associated with the implementation during the 1994 second quarter of a company-
owned life insurance ("COLI") program.
The provision for income tax was 30.3% of pre-tax income for the second quarter
of 1995, as compared to 32.1% for 1994. This reduced effective income tax rate
is primarily attributable to permanent tax savings resulting from the COLI
program. The amount of the tax reduction exceeds the aforementioned net COLI
expenses included in interest and other expenses.
FIRST HALF 1995 VS. 1994
For the six months ended June 30,1995, revenue and income from operations
increased by 7.8% and 1.3%, respectively. Of the $10,211,000 increase in total
revenue, revenue generated by the company-operated, full-truckload fleet
increased by $5,341,000, and full-truckload revenue generated by owner-operator
provided equipment rose by $1,917,000, or 10.5%. LTL revenue increased by
$452,000 and non-freight revenue increased by $2,501,000.
Insurance and claims expense, as a percentage of freight revenue, was 5.1%
during the first half of 1995 as compared to 5.3% during the first half of 1994.
Partially because the company carries significant deductibles under its policies
of liability insurance, premiums paid to insurance companies do not
significantly contribute to overall insurance costs. Claims against the company
for over-the-road accidents are the primary component of insurance and claims
expense and these expenses tend to vary in relation to miles traveled.
The provision for income tax decreased from 33.0% of 1994's first-half pre-tax
income to 30.6% for 1995 (see above discussion of the second quarter effective
tax rate). First half 1995 net income rose by 1.1% to $5,595,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company continues to maintain a strong financial structure with a good
working capital position and strong capital resources. At June 30, 1995,
working capital was $30 million as compared to $25.6 million at December 31,
1994.
During the first half of 1995, net cash provided by operating activities was
$5,645,000, as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $5,571,000
in the same period of 1994. The increased generation of cash was related
primarily to improved collections of accounts receivable and decreased federal
income tax payments.
As of June 30, 1995, the unused portion of the company's $50,000,000 revolving
credit facility totaled approximately $28,000,000. This availability was
approximately $32,000,000 at December 31, 1994.
