NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following accounting principles and practices of the Company
are set forth to facilitate the understanding of the data
presented in the financial statements.
Business Activity
-----------------
The Company is a truckload carrier with operations throughout
the United States.
Revenue Recognition
-------------------
Operating revenues and related expenses are recognized on the
shipping date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Trade Accounts Receivable
-------------------------
The Company considers accounts receivable to be fully
collectible. Accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is
considered necessary at year-end. If amounts become
uncollectible, they will be charged to operations when that
determination is made. Bad debt expense was $8,687 and $4,949
during 1997 and 1996, respectively. Concentrations of credit
risk on accounts receivable are limited due to the large number
of customers and their dispersion across different industries
and geographic locations.
Inventory
---------
Inventory consists of replacement parts, tires, fuel, and
supplies and is stated on the balance sheets at cost. The cost
of tires on newly acquired revenue equipment is expensed when
the equipment is placed in service. Replacement tires withdrawn
from inventory are expensed at the time of withdrawal.
12
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated
over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method
for book purposes as required by ICC regulations, and straight-
line, double-declining-balance, and accelerated methods for tax
purposes. Amortization of the capital lease expense is included
in depreciation.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as
incurred and expenditures for major renovations are capitalized.
Gains and losses on disposal of equipment are recognized in the
period of disposition.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported
amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Note 2 Note Payable
The Company has available a $2,500,000 unsecured line of credit
through National City Bank. The line calls for interest at the
LIBOR rate plus 1.25 percent. No amounts had been drawn on the
line at December 31, 1997 or 1996. In addition, at December 31,
1997, the Company has $1,635,000 issued under standby letters of
credit at National City Bank.
Note 3 Long-Term Debt
The Company has a multiple draw term loan at National City Bank
secured by revenue equipment. This loan bears interest at a
fluctuating rate based on the Base Commercial Rate less 1/4
percent or the Libor rate, if so elected by the Company under
the loan provisions. The interest rate in effect at December 31,
1997 was 7.06875%. Principal payments of $316,738 are due
monthly. The loan matures on September 1, 1999.

Note 4 Capital Lease
The Company has a lease that expires December 31, 2007, with its
majority shareholder for the Company headquarters. At the
inception of the lease, the minimum rental payments were $36,000
per month. The lease was renegotiated in 1996, with future
monthly rental payments of $41,683 until the end of the lease.
During 1997 and 1996, the lease payments amounted to $500,196.
The following is a schedule by year of future minimum rental

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Note 5 Employees' Retirement Plan
Employees of the Company who meet certain eligibility
requirements participate in a qualified profit sharing plan.
Contributions to the plan are determined by the Board of
Directors and for 1997 and 1996 amounted to $400,000 for each
year. All plan administration expenses including legal,
accounting, and investment management fees are paid by the
Company.
Note 6 Communications Expense
Communications expense includes depreciation of communications
equipment in the amount of $68,155 and $185,976 for 1997 and
1996, respectively.
Note 7 Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts
used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the
Company's deferred tax position at December 31, 1997 are as
follows:
Items resulting in deferred tax
liabilities:
Tax depreciation in excess of
book depreciation $ 6,603,815
Items resulting in deferred tax

rates applied to the cumulative deferred tax components.

normal course of operations. In the opinion of management,
adequate provisions have been recorded in accrued expenses in
the financial statements for all such risks.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
In January 1998, US Xpress Enterprises ("US Xpress") acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of Victory Express for $51 million and the assumption
of liabilities and other acquisition related costs.
The following Pro Forma Financial Information is based on the historical
financial statements of US Xpress and adjusted to give effect to the
acquisition. The Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997, give effect to the acquisition as if it had occurred on
January 1, 1997. The Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the
acquisition as if it had occurred on December 31, 1997. In opinion of
management, the historical consolidated financial statements of US Xpress and
Victory Express reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
to present fairly US Xpress and Victory Express's financial position and results
of operations as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 1997. The pro
forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions
that management believes are reasonable.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The
total purchase price for the acquisition has been allocated to tangible and
identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon management's
preliminary estimates of their fair value with the excess of purchase price over
fair value of assets acquired allocated to goodwill. The allocation of the
purchase price for the acquisition is subject to revision when additional
information concerning asset and liability valuations is obtained. In
management's opinion, the asset and liability valuations for the acquisition
will not be materially different from the pro forma information presented. For
purposes of presenting pro forma results, no changes in revenues and expenses
have been made to reflect the results of any modification to operations that
might have been made had the acquisition been consummated on the assumed
effective date of the Acquisition. The pro forma expenses include the recurring
cost which are directly attributable to the acquisition, such as interest
expense, depreciation expense and amortization of goodwill.
The Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to represent what US
Xpress's results of operations or financial position would actually have been
had the acquisition in fact occurred on January 1, 1997 or to project the
Company's results of operations or financial position for or at any future
period or date.
