TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) JUNE 30, 1996 NOTE A: 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. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. NOTE B: NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT In the first six months of 1996, the Company's subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., entered into installment obligations for the purchase of revenue equipment in the approximate amount of $13.5 million payable in 48 and 60 monthly installments at an interest rate of 6.95%. NOTE C: ACQUISITION On March 11, 1996, the Company closed the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock (the "Shares) of Allen Freight Services, Inc., a Missouri corporation ("AFS"). The total purchase price for the Shares was $200,000, which was negotiated by the parties at arms length. Assets of approximately $3.7 million were acquired and liabilities of approximately $3.5 million were assumed. The Company paid the purchase price by utilizing its existing line of credit. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method, effective March 11, 1996, with the operations of AFS included in the Company's financial statements, since that date. If the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1995, the effect on consolidated operating revenues, net income and net income per share would not have been material. The purchase price has been allocated to assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Approximately $1.5 million in goodwill was recorded as a result of the purchase allocation and it is being amortized over a 25-year period. The Company also entered into three-year Non-competition Agreements with four former shareholders and officers/employees of AFS. 6 7 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 7 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 For the quarter ended June 30, 1996, revenues increased 26.6% to $30.2 million as compared to $23.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. The main factor for the increase in revenues was a 27.2% increase in average tractors from 686 in 1995 to 873 in 1996, of which 145 were added in connection with the acquisition of Allen Freight Services, Inc. (AFS). AFS which produced revenues of $4.3 million for the second quarter of 1996. The Company's operating ratio was 89.8% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996 compared to 85.7% in the second quarter of 1995. Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 43.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 1995 to 47.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996. The major factor for the increase was a 3.8 % increase in the amounts paid to AFS fleet owners. Operating supplies and expenses increased from 17.7% of revenues in the second quarter of 1995 to 18.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996, reflecting the approximate four cents per share increase in fuel costs for the quarter. Rent and purchased transportation increased 0.6% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. This increase relates primarily to the acquisition of AFS which uses operating leases for its trailer requirements. This increase is offset by a reduction in the use of rental equipment by Choctaw Express, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, in 1995 which was replaced by Company owned equipment in 1996. The Company incurred an increase in depreciation expense as a result of the new equipment being placed into service. Depreciation expense increased from 9.3% of revenues in the second quarter of 1995 to 9.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996. Interest expense increased approximately $200,000 in the second quarter of 1996 when compared to the second quarter of 1995, primarily as a result of borrowings associated with new equipment purchases and an increased line of credit balance. The Company's effective tax rate increased from 38% in the second quarter of 1995 to 40% in the second quarter of 1996 as a result of AFS' practice of paying per diem expenses to its drivers a portion of which is a nondeductible permanent difference in the calculation of income tax expense. As of July 1, 1996 per diems will no longer be paid to AFS drivers. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 For the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenues increased 17.0% to $53.7 million as compared to $45.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. The main factor for the increase in revenues was a 22.6% increase in average tractors from 658 in 1995 to 807 in 1996, of which 145 were added in connection with the acquisition of AFS which produced revenues of $5.5 million for the first six months of 1996. The Company's operating ratio was 90.3% of revenues in the first six months of 1996 compared to 87.4% in the first six months of 1995. Salaries, wages and benefits increased to 45.8% of revenues in the first six months of 1996 compared to 44.3% of revenues in the first six months of 1995. This increase results from the 2.5% increase in amounts paid to AFS fleet owners. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in employee bonus expense of 1.2% in the first six months of 1996 when compared to the first six months of 1995. Operating supplies and expenses increased to 18.7% of revenues in the first six months of 1996 from 18% of 8 9 revenues in the first six months of 1995, reflecting the increase in fuel costs for the six month period which is approximately eight cents per share. This increase was offset by a decrease in repairs and maintenance of .2% of revenues. This decrease is indicative of the operation of a newer fleet of trucks. The Company incurred an increase in depreciation expense as a result of the new equipment being placed into service. Depreciation expense increased from 9.2% of revenues in the first six months of 1995 to 10.7% of revenues in the first six months of 1996. Interest expense increased approximately $370,000 in the first six months of 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995. This increase relates to borrowings for new equipment purchases and an increased line of credit balance. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 39.2% from 38% as a result of AFS' practice of paying per diem expenses to its drivers a portion of which is a nondeductible permanent difference in the calculation of income tax expense. As of July 1, 1996 per diems will no longer be paid to AFS drivers. The Company's results for the first quarter were adversely affected by a General Motors brake plant strike for 23 days. The strike not only idled the G.M. system, but had repercussions felt by manufacturers and suppliers not normally thought to be associated with the auto industry. Equipment utilization, as measured in miles per truck per day, decreased 48 miles as a result of the strike, while costs declined only marginally due to the proportion of costs which are relatively fixed. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., has a $10 million secured bank line of credit subject to borrowing limitations. Outstanding advances on this line of credit were approximately $6.5 million, including $0.7 million in letters of credit, (at an interest rate of 8.00%) at June 30, 1996. The Company's borrowing base limitation at June 30, 1996 was $10 million. The line of credit is guaranteed by the Company and matures May 31, 1997. On July 3, 1996, P.A.M. Transport, Inc. entered into a new loan agreement, with its existing lender, to increase its secured bank line of credit subject to borrowing limitations to $15 million. This new agreement matures May 31, 1998. The Company entered into installment obligations in the first six months of 1996 for the purchase of revenue equipment for approximately $13.5 million payable in 48 and 60 monthly installments at an interest rate of 6.95%. Operating results during the first six months of 1996 provided net cash from operations of approximately $4.7 million. Management expects that the Company's existing working capital and its available line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's commitments as of June 30, 1996, and to fund its operating needs during fiscal 1996. However, if additional financing were required, management believes that such financing would be available from its existing lender. ACQUISITION On March 11, 1996, the Company closed the purchase of all of the outstanding capital stock (the "Shares") of Allen Freight Services, Inc. ("AFS"), a Missouri corporation. The total purchase price for the Shares was $200,000, which was negotiated by the parties at arms-length. The acquisition was financed through borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit agreement and the acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting effective March 11, 1996 with operations included in the Company's financial statements beginning on the acquisition date. The Company will also make payments under three-year Non-competition Agreements which were entered into with four AFS former stockholders and officers/employees. See Note C to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (unaudited). 9 10 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
