CD&L, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated
balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the
year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
CD&L, Inc. (the "Company" or "CD&L") Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to
the current year presentation.
(2) SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:
Effective as of January 1, 2000, CD&L and First Union Commercial
Corporation ("First Union") modified the Loan and Security Agreement (the
"First Union Agreement") entered into on July 14, 1997 to change the
covenants and financial ratios that the Company must maintain. Under the
terms of the First Union Agreement, as amended, the Company is in
compliance with all such covenants and financial ratios as of and for the
six months ended June 30, 2000.
(3) LONG-TERM DEBT:
On January 29, 1999, the Company completed a $15 million private placement
of senior subordinated notes and warrants (the "Senior Notes") with three
financial institutions. The Senior Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and
are subordinate to all senior debt including the Company's credit facility
with First Union. The Senior Notes mature on January 29, 2006 and may be
prepaid by the Company under certain circumstances. The warrants expire
January 19, 2009 and are exercisable at any time prior to expiration at a
price of $.001 per equivalent share of common stock for an aggregate of
506,250 shares of the Company's stock, subject to additional adjustments.
The Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants as a credit to
additional paid-in-capital and a debt discount on the Senior Notes. Under
the terms of the Senior Notes, the Company is required to maintain certain
financial ratios and comply with other financial conditions. Effective as
of January 1, 2000, CD&L and the note holders modified the Senior
Subordinated Loan Agreement (the "Senior Note Agreement") entered into on
January 29, 1999 to change the financial ratios and conditions that the
Company must comply with and increased the interest rate on the Senior
Notes to 13% per annum. Under the terms of the Senior Note Agreement, as
amended, the Company is in compliance with all such financial ratios and
conditions as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2000.
(4) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS:
CD&L has two reportable segments: Air and Ground. Separate management of
each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different
cost and delivery parameters.

(5) LITIGATION:
In February 1996, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") filed
an action against Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a
subsidiary of the Company, Mr. Vincent Brana and certain other parties in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
alleging, among other things, that Securities Courier had fraudulently
obtained automobile liability insurance from Liberty Mutual in the late
1980s and early 1990s at below market rates. This suit, which claims common
law fraud, fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the
civil provisions of the Federal RICO statute, among other things, seeks an
unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages from the
defendants, as well as attorneys' fees and other expenses. Three additional
defendants were added by way of a second amended complaint on April 9,
1998. Securities and Mr. Brana have filed cross claims against each of
these additional defendants and certain original defendants who had acted
as insurance brokers for certain of the policies at issue. Under the terms
of its acquisition of Securities, the Company has certain rights to
indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the indemnification, Mr.
Brana has entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed a Promissory
Note in the amount of up to $500,000 or such greater amount as may be due
for any defense costs or award arising out of this suit. Mr. Brana has
agreed to repay the Company on December 1, 2002, together with interest
calculated at a rate per annum equal to the rate charged the Company by its
senior lender. In April 1999 a motion for summary judgment was filed and
denied by the Court in December 1999. The plaintiff subsequently filed a
Third Amended Complaint for breach of contract and additional claims for
quantum meruit. The parties are presently participating in court-ordered
non-binding mediation in an attempt to resolve this litigation which
extends the time to respond to the Third Amended Complaint until thirty
days after completion of the final mediation session, subject to the
Court's
7
approval. Mediation efforts continue at this time. Due to the continuing
legal costs in defending this suit, Mr. Brana has delivered 357,301 shares
of CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the note. The Company
does not believe that an adverse determination in this matter would result
in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal
injury and property damage incurred in connection with its same-day ground
and air delivery operations. Management believes that none of these
actions, including the action described above, will have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
(6) INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by
dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution if certain
securities are converted and also includes certain shares that are
contingently issuable. Because of the Company's net loss for the six months
ended June 30, 2000, equivalent shares represented by 67,185 Stock Options,
506,059 Warrants and 51,169 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares would be
anti-dilutive and therefore are not presented for the six months ended June
30, 2000.
A reconciliation of weighted average common shares outstanding to weighted
average common shares outstanding assuming dilution follows:

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Overview
The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and of its
liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related
notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The Company is provided a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements
contained in this report by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. The Company may discuss forward-looking information in this report
such as its expectations for future business development, cost reduction
programs, product-based operating structures, revenue growth and fuel,
insurance and labor cost controls, as well as its liquidity and capital
needs and its future prospects. These forward-looking statements involve
certain risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual events or results
to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include without limitation
the risk that the Company will be unable to continue growing revenue
internally, or that the Company's cost reduction programs will fail to
prevent further erosion of its profit margins or cause loss of key
personnel, or that the Company's industry-based strategic re-positioning
will fail to generate revenue growth, profitability, operating efficiencies
or improved service levels, or that the Company will be unable to reduce
its fuel, labor and insurance costs, or that the Company will be unable to
achieve the other cost savings or additional profits for forward quarters
contemplated by the Company's business management strategy, or that the
Company will be unable to continue to meet its financial covenants under
existing credit lines or otherwise have adequate credit facilities to
support its operations and revenue growth or other risks specified in the
Company's Form 10-K and other SEC filings.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30,
1999
Revenue for the first half of 2000 increased by $11.6 million, or 10.8%, to
$118.8 million from $107.2 million for the first half of 1999. Ground
delivery revenue grew by 12.9% to $84.9 million and air courier revenue
grew 6.1% to $33.9 million for the first half of 2000 compared to the same
period in 1999. Revenue from acquisitions completed in 1999 contributed
$3.0 million and $2.6 million to the ground and air courier revenue
increases, respectively.
Cost of revenue increased by $9.9 million, or 12.0%, to $92.1 million for
the first six months of 2000 from $82.2 million for the first six months of
1999. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 represents
77.6% of revenues as compared to 76.7% for the same period in 1999. The
increase in cost of revenue is due to an increase in ground delivery cost
of revenue, which is primarily in the contract distribution business. This
business typically has lower initial margins due to start-up costs.
Additionally, labor and vehicle operating costs increased in 2000, but were
partially offset by a reclassification of $1.1 million in certain salaries
to selling, general, and administration ("SG&A") expense. The increased
labor cost is attributable to the tight labor market for reliable drivers
and sub-contractors.
SG&A expenses increased by $4.5 million, or 22.6%, to $24.4 million for the
first six months of 2000 from $19.9 million for the same period in 1999.
Stated as a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 20.5% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 18.6% for the same period in
1999. In addition to the $1.1 million reclassification from cost of
revenue, the variance is primarily attributable to increased staffing and
related expenses, the administrative expenses of the companies acquired in
1999, bad debt expense recorded as a result of a previous customer filing
for bankruptcy protection and increased consulting expenses.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million to $2.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $2.1 million for the same
period in 1999, primarily reflecting an increase in goodwill amortization
expense as a result of the Company's acquisitions in 1999.
As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income decreased by
$3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same
period in 1999.
Interest expense increased by $0.4 million to $1.9 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $1.5 million for the same period
in 1999, primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates.
Interest expense is expected to continue to increase as a result of higher
interest rates being charged under the amended credit facilites.
Net income (loss) decreased by $2.1 million to a loss of $(1.0) million for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to income of $1.1 million
for the same period in 1999 for the reasons discussed above.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended June
30, 1999
Revenue for the second quarter of 2000 increased by $3.0 million, or 5.4%,
to $58.8 million from $55.8 million for the second quarter of 1999. Ground
delivery revenue grew by 7.7% to $42.0 million and air courier revenue
decreased .5% to $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared to
the same period in 1999. Revenue from acquisitions completed in 1999
contributed $0.7 million to the ground revenue increase.
10
Cost of revenue increased by $2.7 million, or 6.3%, to $45.3 million for
the second quarter of 2000 from $42.6 million for the second quarter of
1999. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 represents
77.0% of revenues as compared to 76.4% for the same period in 1999. The
increase in cost of revenue is due to an increase in ground delivery cost
of revenue, which is primarily in the contract distribution business. This
business typically has lower initial margins due to start-up costs.
Additionally, labor and vehicle operating costs increased in 2000, but were
partially offset by a reclassification of $0.6 million in certain salaries
to SG&A expense. The increased labor cost is attributable to the tight
labor market for reliable drivers and sub-contractors.
SG&A expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 11.8%, to $11.4 million for the
second quarter of 2000 from $10.2 million for the same period in 1999.
Stated as a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 19.4% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 18.2% for the same period in
1999. In addition to the $0.6 million reclassification from cost of
revenue, the variance is primarily attributable to increased staffing and
related expenses and the administrative expenses of the companies acquired
in 1999.
As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income decreased by
$1.0 million to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as
compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 1999.
Interest expense increased by $0.1 million to $1.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $0.9 million for the same period
in 1999, primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates.
Interest expense is expected to continue to increase as a result of higher
interest rates being charged under the amended credit facilities.
Net income decreased by $0.6 million to $0.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 1999
for the reasons discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital decreased from $6.0 million as of December 31, 1999 to $2.1
million as of June 30, 2000. This decrease of $3.9 million reflects an
increase in the amount of short-term borrowings outstanding and long-term
debt maturing in the next twelve months. Cash and cash equivalents
increased from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. Cash was provided by financing
activities (an increase in the Company's borrowings on its line of credit
offset by repayments of long-term debt) and used in operations (primarily
as a result of the net loss for the six month period) as well as to finance
acquisitions of equipment and leasehold improvements. Capital expenditures
amounted to $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenditures primarily upgraded Company
computer system capability and maintained Company facilities in the
ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2000 the Company had available
$5.7 million under its revolving credit facility after adjusting for the
restrictions for outstanding letters of credit and the subordinated
debentures. However, subsequent to June 30, 2000, use of availability for
increased letter of credit commitments as well as restrictions on
availability per the modified debt agreements have substantially decreased
the amount available.
Management believes that anticipated cash flows generated from operations,
together with its borrowing capacity, are sufficient to support the
Company's operations and general business and liquidity requirements for
the foreseeable future. However, if cash flows from operations materially
fall short of our projections, no assurances can be given with respect to
the adequacy of existing credit lines, or the availability of alternative
borrowing sources.
Inflation
Other than the described effects of recent fuel increases and labor costs,
inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's results of
operations for the past three years.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
CD&L's major "market risk" exposure is the effect of changing interest
rates. CD&L manages its interest expense by using a combination of fixed
and variable rate debt. At June 30, 2000, the Company's debt consisted of
approximately $25.0 million of fixed rate debt with a weighted average
interest rate of 10.7% and $9.8 million of variable rate debt with a
weighted average interest rate of 9.3% The amount of variable rate debt
fluctuates during the year based on CD&L's cash requirements. If interest
rates on such variable rate debt were to increase by 85 basis points
(one-tenth of the rate at June 30, 2000), the net impact to the Company's
results of operations and cash flows for the six month period ended June
30, 2000 would be a decrease of approximately $38,000.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 - Legal Proceedings.
In February 1996, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") filed
an action against Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a
subsidiary of the Company, Mr. Vincent Brana and certain other parties in
the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
alleging, among other things, that Securities Courier had fraudulently
obtained automobile liability insurance from Liberty Mutual in the late
1980s and early 1990s at below market rates. This suit, which claims common
law fraud, fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the
civil provisions of the Federal RICO statute, among other things, seeks an
unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages from the
defendants, as well as attorneys' fees and other expenses. Three additional
defendants were added by way of a second amended complaint on April 9,
1998. Securities and Mr. Brana have filed cross claims against each of
these additional defendants and certain original defendants who had acted
as insurance brokers for certain of the policies at issue. Under the terms
of its acquisition of Securities, the Company has certain rights to
indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the indemnification, Mr.
Brana has entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed a Promissory
Note in the amount of up to $500,000 or such greater amount as may be due
for any defense costs or award arising out of this suit. Mr. Brana has
agreed to repay the Company on December 1, 2002, together with interest
calculated at a rate per annum equal to the rate charged the Company by its
senior lender. In April 1999 a motion for summary judgment was filed and
denied by the Court in December 1999. The plaintiff subsequently filed a
Third Amended Complaint for breach of contract and additional claims for
quantum meruit. The parties are presently participating in court-ordered
non-binding mediation in an attempt to resolve this litigation which
extends the time to respond to the Third Amended Complaint until thirty
days after completion of the final mediation session, subject to the
Court's approval. Mediation efforts continue at this time. Due to the
continuing legal costs in defending this suit, Mr. Brana has delivered
357,301 shares of CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the
note. The Company does not believe that an adverse determination in this
matter would result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial position or results of operations of the Company.
The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal
injury and property damage incurred in connection with its same-day ground
and air delivery operations. Management believes that none of these
actions, including the action described above, will have a material adverse
effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
the Company.
