BOYD BROS. TRANSPORTATION INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Company for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2000. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

GENERAL

The Company was founded in 1956 by Dempsey Boyd and his brothers as a small
regional flatbed trucking operation with three tractors. Since that time, the
Company has grown to one with 1,017 tractors and 1,398 trailers operating in the
eastern two-thirds of the United States. Historically, the Company owned its
revenue equipment and operated through employee drivers. The Company's expansion
in the past, therefore, has required significant capital expenditures that have
been funded through secured borrowings. During 1997, as a strategy to expand the
Company's potential for growth without the increase in capital expenditures
typically related to owned equipment, the Company began adding owner-operators
to its fleet. The Company then accelerated the implementation of this strategy
in December 1997 with the acquisition of Welborn Transport, Inc. ("Welborn"),
which specializes in short-haul routes using largely an owner-operated fleet.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of the expense items
to operating revenues for the periods indicated.



                                                                                  Percentage of Operating Revenues

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999

Operating revenues for 2000 decreased $6.4 million, or 4.8%, to $126.7 million
compared to $133.1 million for 1999. The decrease was due in part to the closing
of the brokerage company at Welborn Transport, which was replaced by a new
freight brokerage company at the Boyd division, and also the closing of the
specialized division at Welborn. This interruption in brokerage services and the
closing of the specialized division at Welborn accounted for $4.0 million of the
decrease in revenues. The remainder of the decrease in revenues was attributable
to a reduction in freight volume, especially in the steel industry.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits for 2000 increased $3.8 million, or 10.7%,
to $39.2 million compared to $35.5 million in 1999. Salaries increased due to
the decrease in the owner-operator fleet, and therefore, an increase in
employee drivers. Owner-operators left the business due to reduced freight
volume and increased fuel costs during 2000. Salaries made up 31.0% of operating
revenue in 2000 compared to 26.6% in 1999.

Cost of independent contractors for 2000 decreased $10.0 million, or 22.1%, to
$35.1 million from $45.1 million in 1999. As of December 31, 2000 the Boyd Bros.
division had an owner-operator fleet of 111 operators compared to 209
owner-operators as of December 31, 1999. Additionally, Welborn Transport, had
161 owner-operators as of December 31, 2000 compared to 298 operators in 1999.

Operating supplies expense for 2000 increased $2.5 million, or 10.8%, to $25.4
million compared with $22.9 million for 1999. The increase in operating
supplies, which includes fuel costs, net of fuel surcharges, is partly due to
the decrease in the owner-operator fleet which has resulted in an increase of
Company-operated units. The Company absorbs all of the variable costs for the
Company-operated units. The increase in fuel cost per gallon has also impacted
overall fuel costs.

Taxes and licenses expense for 2000 increased $.1 million, or 4.2%, to $2.9
million compared to $2.8 million in 1999. Taxes and licenses increased due to
the decrease in the owner-operator leased fleet, which has resulted in an
increase of Company-operated trucks for which the Company bears all of the
licensing and permitting expenses.

Insurance and claims expense for 2000 increased $.9 million, or 15.5%, to $7.0
million compared to $6.1 million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in accident claims and insurance rates.

Communications and utilities expense for 2000 increased $.01 million, or 2.8%,
to $1.51 million from $1.5 million in 1999. The increase was primarily due to a
decrease in the owner-operator fleet, which has resulted in a decrease of the
fees the Company charges for the use of the Company's satellite units.

Depreciation and amortization expense for 2000 increased $.9 million, or 8.3%,
to $11.6 million from $10.7 million in 1999. Depreciation expense increased due
to the Company's absorption of leased owner-operator tractors back into the
Company fleet.


   4

Gain on disposition of property and equipment decreased $.5 million or 31.6%, to
$1.1 million from $1.6 million. The Company traded less units during 2000 ,and
additionally trade values were depressed during 2000.

Rent expense for 2000 decreased $.1 million, or 9.3%, to $.4 million from $.5
million in 1999. Rent expense includes operating leases for both trailers and
terminals. Rent expense decreased due to the Company's cancellation of leases at
some of its outlying facilities.

Other expenses for 2000 increased approximately $.1 million, or 10.6%, to $1.5
million in 2000 from $1.4 million in 1999. Other expenses include, but are not
limited to, consulting fees, legal fees, advertising costs, bank charges and bad
debts. The Company incurred higher bad debt writeoffs in 2000. Also, the Company
contracted with more Consultants in 2000.

Interest expense (net of interest income) increased $1.4 million, or 64.1%, to
$3.8 million from $2.4 million in 1999. Interest expense increased due to an
approximately 125 basis points increase in the LIBOR rate, on which the interest
rate charged on all of the Company's debt is based.

Net income for 2000 decreased approximately $4.4 million, or 128.2%, to ($.9)
million compared to $3.5 million for 1999.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998

Operating revenues for 1999 increased $15.0 million, or 12.7%, to $133.1 million
compared to $118.1 million for 1998. Revenues increased due to better equipment
utilization and the addition of 80 tractors.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased $1.1 million, or 3.1%, to $35.5
million compared to $36.6 million in 1998. Salaries decreased due to the
increase in the owner-operator fleet, and therefore, a decrease in employee
drivers. Salaries made up 26.6% of operating revenue in 1999 compared to 31.0%
in 1998.

Cost of independent contractors for 1999 increased $13.3 million, or 41.8%, to
$45.1 million from $31.8 million in 1998. As of December 31, 1999 Boyd Bros. had
an owner-operator fleet of 209 operators compared to 150 owner-operators in
1998. Additionally, Welborn had 298 owner-operators as of December 31, 1999
compared to 281 operators in 1998.

Operating supplies expense for 1999 increased $1.5 million, or 7.0%, to $22.9
million compared with $21.4 million for 1998, despite the fact that a large
portion of the fleet is comprised of owner-operators. This increase is almost
entirely due to increased fuel prices.

Taxes and licenses expense for 1999 increased $.2 million, or 7.7%, to $2.8
million compared to $2.6 million in 1998. Taxes and licenses increased at a
slower rate than revenue due to the greater percentage of owner-operators.

Insurance and claims expense increased $.7 million, or 13.0%, to $6.1 million
compared to $5.4 million in 1998. The increase was primarily due to an increase
in accident claims.


   5

Communications and utilities expense decreased $.1 million, or 6.3%, to $1.5
million from $1.6 million in 1998. Improved cost management contributed to the
decrease in communications costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $.4 million, or 3.9%, to $10.7
million from $10.3 million in 1998. Depreciation expense increased due to the
addition of newer and more expensive tractors in order to reduce the age of the
Company's tractor fleet and due to the replenishing of the Company's trailer
fleet with longer and more expensive trailers.

Rent expense for 1999 increased $.2 million, or 67.0%, to $.5 million from $.3
million in 1998. Rent expense includes operating leases for both trailers and
terminals. Rent expense increased due to the Company entering into several lease
agreements for new trailers during 1999.

Other expenses for 1999 increased approximately $.2 million, or 17.0%, to $1.4
million in 1999 from $1.2 million in 1998. Other expenses include, but are not
limited to, consulting fees, legal fees, advertising costs and bank charges.

Interest expense (net of interest income) for 1999 increased $.8 million, or
50%, to $2.4 million from $1.6 million in 1998. During 1999 the Company incurred
additional indebtedness for the purpose of financing an increase in its tractor
and trailer fleets.

Net income for 1999 decreased approximately $.1 million, or 2.8%, to $3.5
million compared to $3.6 million for 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's primary cash requirements are for capital expenditures and
operating expenses, including labor costs, fuel costs and operating supplies.
Historically, the Company's primary sources of cash have been continuing
operations, bank borrowings and the issuance of common stock of the Company.

The growth of the Company's business and maintenance of its modern fleet has
required significant investments in new tractors and trailers, and has been
financed largely through long-term debt. Capital expenditures, net of proceeds
from disposals of property and equipment related to Company tractors, was
approximately $8.4 million in 2000, compared to $28.4 million in 1999. At
December 31, 2000, the Company had long-term debt (including current portions)
of $46.9 million, which was primarily incurred to purchase revenue equipment.
In March 2001, the Company received waivers executed by two of its lenders
relating to certain financial covenant ratio requirements contained in two of
the Company's long-term debt loan agreements as to which the Company was not in
compliance as of December 31, 2000. There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to comply with these covenants in the future. If the Company is
unable to comply with these covenants in the future, there can be no assurance
that the Company's lenders will provide any additional waivers with respect to
any such noncompliance.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities was approximately $10.1 million
during 2000 compared to approximately $11.6 million in 1999.

Historically, the Company has relied on cash generated from operations to fund
its working capital requirements. However, the Company has a bank line of credit
permitting short-term borrowings of up to $2.5 million. The revolving line of
credit is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. As of December
31, 2000, the Company had $1.0 million outstanding on its line of credit.


   6

During the second half of 2000, as well as the first quarter of 2001, the
Company experienced an increase in bad debt writeoffs. Due to the difficult
economic conditions facing the steel industry, in particular, additional bad
debt reserves maybe required if industry conditions continue to deteriorate.

Pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program, the Company purchased
263,940 and 370,463 shares of the common stock in open market or negotiated
transactions during 1999 and 2000, for an aggregate purchase prices of
$2,342,746 and $2,248,941, respectively, including an aggregate 126,000 shares
of Common Stock purchased from Miller Welborn, the Vice-Chairman of the
Company, during 2000 at a price per share of $6.50. The Company funded these
purchases using working capital. On January 8, 1999, the Company purchased
500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock from a former Chief Executive
Officer of the Company for $3,660,000. The stock purchase was funded by
available cash and a bank line of credit.

The Company currently has outstanding letters of credit, totaling approximately
$3.7 million at December 31, 2000, to cover liability insurance claims and
outstanding claims related to its previous self-insured workers' compensation
program. Annual commitment fees relating to these letters of credit do not
exceed 1.5% of the face amounts thereof.

During the first quarter of 2001 the Company purchased 10 trucks for its'
Welborn fleet at a net cost of $.4 million (Net of 23 trade trucks). The Company
has no plans to purchase any additional tractors during the remainder of 2001.

Management believes that cash flow from future operations and borrowings
available under its line of credit will be sufficient to meet its needs for
working capital for the foreseeable future. Over the long term, the Company will
continue to have significant capital requirements that may require the Company
to seek additional borrowings or equity capital. The availability of debt
financing or equity capital will depend upon prevailing market conditions, the
market price of its Common Stock and other factors over which the Company has no
control, as well as the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to its long-term debt, which at
December 31, 2000, bore interest at rates ranging from 1.25% to 1.75% above the
bank's LIBOR rate. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, the Company has estimated the fair value of its long-term debt
approximates its carrying value, using a discounted cash flow analysis based on
borrowing rates available to the Company. The effect of a hypothetical ten
percent increase in interest rates would increase the estimated fair value of
the Company's long-term debt by approximately $640,000. Management believes that
current working capital funds are sufficient to offset any adverse effects
caused by changes in the interest rates.

   7

SEASONALITY

In the trucking industry, results of operations show a seasonal pattern because
customers generally reduce shipments during the winter season, and the Company
does experience some seasonality due to the open, flatbed nature of its
trailers. The Company has at times experienced delays in meeting its shipping
schedules as a result of severe weather conditions, particularly during the
winter months. In addition, the Company's operating expenses have historically
been higher in the winter months due to decreased fuel efficiency and increased
maintenance costs in colder weather.

FUEL PRICE TREND

The average price per gallon of diesel fuel increased from about $.96 per gallon
at the beginning of 1999 and peaked at $1.67 during the fourth quarter of 2000.
If fuel prices continue to increase or are sustained at these higher levels for
a continuing period of time, the higher fuel costs may have a materially adverse
effect on the financial condition and business operations of the Company.
Additionally, the increased fuel costs may continue to have a materially adverse
effect on the Company's efforts to attract and retain owner-operators, expand
its pool of available trucks and diversify its operations. Higher fuel costs
dilute the financial incentive for owner-operators, who are typically paid a
flat rate per mile; therefore, as a result of higher fuel prices about 50
drivers left the Company's owner-operator program in the fourth quarter of 2000,
and an additional 25 drivers have departed in the first quarter of 2001. The
diminishing number of owner-operators further impacts the Company's financial
condition - and therefore compounds the direct impact of higher fuel costs -
because each owner-operator that leaves the Company's program also leaves behind
a power unit that must then be absorbed into the Company's fleet. As a result,
each of these trucks can no longer be recorded as a variable expense that is
related to a contractual rate per mile and is incurred only if freight is moved,
but must instead be recorded as a Company-owned truck with indirect costs of
ownership, such as depreciation, maintenance and capital expenses. As a result,
the continuing higher fuel costs may lead to empty trucks, diminished fleet
efficiency, and reduced revenue potential.

SAFETY AND INSURANCE

         The Company is committed to securing appropriate insurance coverage at
cost-effective rates. The primary claims that arise in the trucking industry
consist of cargo loss and damage, personal injury, property damage and workers'
compensation. The Company retains liability up to $100,000 for each claim for
personal injury and property damage, $100,000 for each claim for employee
medical and hospitalization, and $10,000 for each claim for cargo damage. The
Company is self insured for workers' compensation claims as well as physical
damage claims for its own tractors. The Company currently purchases excess
primary and umbrella insurance coverage in amounts that management believes are
adequate to supplement its retained liabilities. The Company will be facing an
increase in its auto and insurance rates during the second half of 2001. These
rates could increase as much as 25%, and in addition to an increase in the
retention per occurrence.


   8

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended, establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. Under SFAS
133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now
meet the definition of a derivative. The Company has adopted SFAS 133 effective
January 1, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to have a
significant impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows of the Company.

BOYD BROS. TRANSPORTATION INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         NATURE OF OPERATIONS - Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. and its
         subsidiary (the "Company") are flatbed carriers, transporting a variety
         of products, primarily steel and building materials. The Company has
         authority to operate in the continental United States; however, its
         market generally encompasses the eastern two-thirds of the United
         States. The Company is headquartered in Clayton, Alabama and operates
         regional and satellite terminals in locations near interstate highways
         or customer facilities. All of the Company's operations (flatbed
         trucking) constitute only one segment under the requirements of
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131,
         Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.

         PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements
         include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
         Welborn Transport, Inc. All significant intercompany items have been
         eliminated in consolidation.

         ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in
         conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
         States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
         that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
         disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
         financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
         during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
         estimates.

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on
         hand, cash on deposit and highly liquid investments with a maturity of
         three months or less at purchase date.

         SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments, which consist of
         certificates of deposit with maturities of three to twelve months, are
         stated at cost, which approximates market.

         REVENUE EQUIPMENT HELD FOR LEASE - Revenue equipment held for lease and
         not in use is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, which
         approximates net realizable value.

         TIRES IN SERVICE - Tires placed in service on newly purchased revenue
         equipment are carried at cost and depreciated over their useful lives,
         estimated to be eighteen months. The undepreciated cost of tires is
         included in prepaid tire expense.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is stated at cost.
         Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method at rates
         intended to distribute the cost of the assets over their estimated
         service lives as follows:


                                                                 
                 Land improvements                                      15 years
                 Buildings                                          5 - 25 years
                 Revenue equipment                                  4 - 7  years
                 Other equipment                                    3 - 10 years
                 Leasehold improvements                             3 - 20 years


   16

         Expenditures which significantly increase values or extend useful lives
         of property and equipment are capitalized, whereas those for normal
         maintenance and repairs are expensed. Gains and losses on disposal of
         property and equipment are reflected in operations in the year of
         disposal.

         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company periodically evaluates
         the carrying value of long-lived assets to be held and used, including
         goodwill and other intangible assets, when events and circumstances
         warrant such a review. The carrying value of long-lived assets is
         considered impaired when the anticipated undiscounted cash flow from
         such assets is less than its carrying value. In that event, a loss is
         recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the
         fair market value of the long-lived assets.

         CLAIMS - The Company accrues estimates for the uninsured portion of
         claims relating to the Company's insurance programs (see Note 5).

         REVENUE RECOGNITION - Operating revenue and related costs are recorded
         upon shipment of products to customers provided that pervasive evidence
         of an arrangement exists, the selling price is fixed and determinable,
         and collectibility of the resulting receivables is probable.

         NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE - In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings
         per Share, the Company reports two separate net income (loss) per share
         numbers, basic and diluted.

         Options that could potentially dilute basic net income (loss) per share
         in the future were not included in the computation of diluted net
         income (loss) per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.
         Antidilutive options were 408,300, 456,100 and 444,810 for the years
         ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying value of the
         Company's cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade receivables,
         trade payables and accrued expenses approximates fair value because of
         the short-term nature of these instruments. Additional fair value
         disclosure for the Company's interest-bearing debt is presented in Note
         4.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
         Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for all
         fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133, as amended,
         establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
         instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
         contracts and for hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, certain contracts
         that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the
         definition of a derivative. The Company will adopt SFAS 133 effective
         January 1, 2001. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 133 to
         have a significant impact on the financial position, results of
         operations, or cash flows of the Company.

         RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
         1999 and 1998 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2000
         presentation.

2.       EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

         The Company has a contributory 401(k) retirement plan, which covers
         employees who elect to participate and meet certain eligibility
         requirements. The amounts charged to operations related to this plan
         for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $165,562,
         $280,890 and $246,943, respectively.
   17

3.       LEASES

         LESSEE:

         OPERATING LEASES - The Company leases certain terminal buildings, land
         and equipment under agreements which expire at various dates through
         2001. The lease agreements generally include renewal options and the
         Company is required to pay taxes, insurance and normal maintenance for
         the facilities. Future minimum lease payments under all operating
         leases are insignificant.

         Total rental expense for all operating leases was $356,791, $384,723,

         SALES-TYPE LEASES - The Company leases revenue equipment to certain of
         its owner-operators and accounts for these transactions as sales-type
         leases. These receivables have terms of three and one-half to four
         years and are collateralized by a security interest in the related
         revenue equipment. Certain revenue equipment under these leases have a
         guaranteed residual value from the vendor which will be redeemed by the
         Company at the end of the lease term.

         The components of the net investment in sales-type leases at December
         31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows:

         The notes payable bear interest ranging from LIBOR plus 1.00% to LIBOR
         plus 1.75% based on the Company's level of cash flows as defined in
         their loan agreements.

         Long-term debt is scheduled to mature as follows:

         A construction line of credit with borrowings outstanding of
         $3,621,086, due in 2001, became a term loan in January 2001. Current
         and long-term portions of the amount outstanding at December 31, 2000
         are reflected according to the subsequent loan agreement.

         The Company also has a $2,500,000 line of credit under a commercial
         revolving note expiring July 6, 2001, bearing interest at LIBOR plus
         1.75%. There were borrowings of $1,049,831 outstanding at December 31,
         2000 and no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1999.

         Covenants under these loan agreements require the Company, among other
         things, to maintain a tangible net worth of $14,800,000, as defined,
         and to maintain certain financial ratios. On March 28, 2001, the
         Company received waivers from certain creditors due to non-compliance
         with financial ratios at December 31, 2000. The amount of long-term
         debt subject to these waivers was $23,672,979 and $20,163,184 at
         December 31, 2000, and the waivers extended through the periods ended
         April 30, 2001 and June 30, 2001, respectively.

         The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value and
         was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the
         borrowing rate currently available to the Company for bank loans with
         similar terms and average maturities.

5.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         At December 31, 2000, the Company is self-insured as follows:



                                                           RETENTION AMOUNT

         Workers' compensation                                 $250,000
         Liability - bodily injury                              100,000
         Liability - physical damage                            100,000
         Employee medical and hospitalization                   100,000
         Cargo loss and damage                                   10,000
         Collision                                               10,000
         Environmental losses                                  No Limit


         The above retention amounts represent rates which were negotiated with
         the Company's insurance carriers at December 31, 2000. Retention
         amounts under other previous insurance programs may vary from those
         stated above. At December 31, 2000, the Company has recorded
         liabilities for retention amounts related to claims under previous
         insurance coverage. For claims prior to June 30, 1997, the Company had
         a retention amount per occurrence under workers' compensation of
         $300,000. For the period from July 1, 1997 to June 30, 2000, workers'
         compensation insurance was provided under fully insured policies. As of
         July 1, 2000, the Company has a retention amount per occurrence under
         workers' compensation of $250,000.

         The Company has excess primary coverage on a per claim and aggregate
         basis beyond the deductible levels and also maintains umbrella policies
         to supplement the primary liability coverage.

         Effective January 2001, the Company became fully self-insured for
         liability - physical damage, except for claims related to catastrophic
         physical damage. The Company has a retention amount per occurrence
         under liability - catastrophic physical damage of $10,000.

         The liabilities for self-insurance are accrued based on claims
         incurred, with liabilities for unsettled claims and claims incurred but
         not yet reported being estimated based on management's evaluation of
         the nature and severity of individual claims and the Company's past
         claims experience.

         The Company has outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2000
         totaling approximately $3,712,000 to cover liability insurance claims
         and claims related to its previous self-insured workers' compensation
         program, and to purchase revenue equipment.

         There are sundry claims and suits pending against the Company in the
         ordinary course of business. In the opinion of the Company's
         management, any ultimate liability in these matters will have no
         material adverse effect on the financial position, operations or cash
         flows of the Company.

6.       STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

         PREFERRED STOCK - The Board of Directors is authorized to issue, at its
         discretion, up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock at par value of
         $.001. The terms and conditions of the preferred stock are to be
         determined by the Board of Directors.

         EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN - During 1999, the Company established an
         Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which 175,000 shares of the
         Company's common stock may be issued to eligible employees at a price
         equal to the lesser of 90% of the market price of the stock as of the
         first or last day of the offering periods (as defined). Employees may
         elect to have a portion of their compensation withheld, subject to
         certain limits, to purchase the Company's common stock. The expense
         associated with this plan in 2000 and 1999 was insignificant.

         STOCK OPTION PLAN - The Company has a stock option plan (the "Plan")
         that provides for the granting of stock options to key employees,
         executive officers and directors. An aggregate of 500,000 shares of the
         Company's common stock are reserved for this Plan. The options are
         exercisable in increments over a five-year period beginning on the
         first anniversary of the grant and will expire ten years after the date
         of the grant. No options were exercised in 1998 or 2000.

         Information regarding the Plan is summarized below:

         SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, encourages, but
         does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based
         employee compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to
         continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic
         value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
         Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations.
         Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the
         excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at
         the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire
         the stock. The option price of all the Company's stock options is equal
         to the market value of the stock at the grant date. As such, no
         compensation expense is recorded in the accompanying consolidated
         financial statements.

         Had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the
         grant date for options awarded in 1999 and 1998 under the Plan
         consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the
         Company's pro forma net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share
         would have differed from the amounts reported as follows:

7.       INCOME TAXES (BENEFIT)

         The provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December
         31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 consisted of the following (in thousands):



                                                                     2000           1999          1998

         Total income tax provision (benefit) for 2000, 1999, and 1998 is
         different from the amount that would be computed by applying the
         statutory federal income tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes.
         The reasons for this difference are as follows (in thousands):



                                                                     2000           1999          1998

         The Company had approximately $1,920,000 of state net operating loss
         carryforwards for tax purposes available to offset future state taxable
         income through 2011. The Company also had approximately $630,000 of
         alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards available to offset future
         federal income tax. These carryforwards were utilized during 1998.

         At December 31, 2000, the Company had state net operating loss
         carryforwards of approximately $5,260,000, which will expire in 2021.

         Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax 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
         liabilities and assets as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 are as follows

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boyd Bros.
Transportation Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. and
subsidiary as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
