(2) Reflects an operating expense (credit) accrued for environmental remediation during 1995. See Note 6 to Financial Statements. (3) Distributions primarily to fund tax liabilities resulting from the Company's S Corporation status were made to the Company's stockholders in each year between 1990 and 1994, prior to the termination of the Company's S Corporation status on March 30, 1994. See Note 8 to Financial Statements. (4) Between January 1, 1987 and March 30, 1994, the Company was treated as an S Corporation for federal and certain state income tax purposes. As a result, the Company's taxable earnings for 1989 through 1993, and the first quarter of 1994, were taxed for federal and certain state income tax purposes directly to the Company's then-existing stockholders. On March 30, 1994, the Company terminated its S Corporation status and became subject to federal and certain additional state income taxes. For informational purposes, unaudited pro forma net income data is provided to reflect an adjustment for a provision for federal and state income taxes as if the Company had not been treated as an S Corporation during those periods. The pro forma net income data do not give effect to the non-cash charge of approximately $5.5 million in recognition of deferred income taxes that resulted from the termination of the Company's S Corporation status.

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the 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 that operates over 575 tractors and 916 trailers in the eastern two-thirds of the United States. The Company's historical strategy has been to own all of its revenue equipment and to operate through employee drivers. The Company's expansion, therefore, has required significant capital expenditures which have been funded through secured borrowings. The Company operated as an S Corporation from January 1, 1987 through March 30, 1994. As a result, the net taxable income of the Company during such period was taxed directly to the Company's stockholders rather than to the Company. The termination of the Company's S Corporation status on March 30, 1994, resulted in a one-time non-cash charge of approximately $5.5 million in recognition of deferred income taxes and a corresponding reduction in stockholders' equity. The pro forma income data of the Company has been prepared to reflect the termination of S Corporation status. See Note 8 to Financial Statements. 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 YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, ------------------------------------ 1996 1995 1994 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating revenues 100.00% 100.00% 100.00% ------ ------ ------ Operating expenses Salaries, wages, and employee benefits 43.37 44.58 41.94 Operating supplies 29.84 27.73 25.44 Taxes and licenses 3.39 2.95 3.25 Insurance and claims 5.16 5.19 6.20 Depreciation and amortization 12.61 11.79 10.91 Gain on disposition of property and equipment, net (1.23) (1.05) (.69) Other 2.81 2.18 4.03 ------ ------ ------ Total operating expenses 95.95 93.37 91.08 Operating income 4.04 6.63 8.92 Interest expense, net (1.90) (1.13) (1.27) Other -- -- .12 ------ ------ ------ Income before income taxes 2.14 5.50 7.76 Income taxes* .88 2.06 2.98 ------ ------ ------ Net income* 1.26% 3.43% 4.78% ------ ------ ------ * Amounts for 1994 are pro forma. 4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 Operating revenues for 1996 increased $3.7 million or 5.91% to $65.5 million as compared to $61.9 million for 1995. The increase resulted primarily from additional tractors in use. The Company's operating ratio increased from 93.37% in 1995 to 95.95% in 1996. The increased operating ratio was due primarily to increases in fuel costs, maintenance and lower utilization of equipment. Operating supplies expense for 1996 increased $2.4 million or 14.0% due primarily to higher fuel costs. Additionally, maintenance and related costs were higher. Salaries, wages and employee benefit expenses for 1996 increased by $847,268 or 3.1%, to $28.4 million as compared to $27.6 million for 1995. The increase was less than the percentage increase in revenue due to a reduction in non-driver personnel costs and headcount. Insurance and claims expense for 1996 increased $169,115 or 5.3% to $3.4 million as compared to $3.2 million in 1995. The increase was less than the percentage increase in revenue due primarily to a reduction in insurance premiums. Taxes and licenses increased $398,429 or 21.9% due to having a newer fleet of tractors. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $965,582 or 13.2% due primarily to lower utilization and the increase in tractor prices. Environmental remediation expense was $19,408 in 1996 compared with a credit of $293,652 in 1995. The initial estimate of remediation expense in 1994 was substantially reduced in 1995. Gain on sale of equipment increased $157,739 or 24.3% in 1996 over 1995 due to the sale of more equipment in 1996 as opposed to 1995. Interest expense, net increased $545,290 or 78.0% in 1996 over 1995. Long-term debt increased substantially due to the purchase and trade-in of an increased number of tractors. Net income for 1996 was $827,617 compared with $2,124,658 for 1995. COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 Operating revenues for 1995 increased $2.73 million or 4.62% to $61.9 million as compared to $59.1 million for 1994. The increase resulted primarily from additional tractors in use. The Company's operating ratio increased from 91.08% in 1994 to 93.37% in 1995. The increased operating ratio was due primarily to increases in driver wages, fuel costs, and maintenance expenses, which were partially offset by a $294,000 credit against environmental expenses previously accrued. Salaries, wages and employee benefit expenses for 1995 increased by $2.8 million or 11.2%, to $27.6 million as compared to $24.8 million for 1994, and also increased as a percentage of operating revenues. The increase in salaries, wages, and employee benefit expenses as a percentage of operating revenues is due primarily to increases in the number of employees and increases in overall compensation for drivers in order to enhance driver recruitment and retention. Operating supplies expense for 1995 increased $2.1 million or 14.1% to $17.2 million as compared to $15.0 million for 1994, and also increased as a percentage of revenues due to increased maintenance and fuel costs. Insurance and claims expenses for 1995 decreased by $459,047 or 12.5% to $3.2 million as compared to $3.7 million for 1994. The decrease was due to reduced reserves for pending claims and a reduction in liability premiums. Depreciation and amortization expense for 1995 increased $844,000 or 13.1%, to $7.3 million as compared to $6.5 million for 1994. This increase was a result of the net increase in fleet size, lower utilization and the purchase of higher priced new tractors. Management believes that the additional cost of owning better equipped tractors can be offset by lower driver turnover and maintenance expenses. Environmental remediation expenses produced a credit of $294,000 in 1995 compared to an expense of $800,000 in 1994. The initial estimate of remediation expense in 1994 was substantially reduced in 1995 due to a reduced estimate of anticipated remediation expenses. 5 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Gain on sale of equipment increased $238,404 or 58.2%, to $648,061 in 1995 compared to $409,657 in 1994. The gain on sale of equipment was due to the sale of more equipment in 1995 compared to 1994. Net income for 1995 was $2.1 million compared with pro forma net income of $2.8 million for 1994. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The growth of the Company's business and maintenance of its modern fleet have 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, were approximately $14.9 million in 1996, compared to $10.7 million in 1995. At December 31, 1996, the Company had long-term debt (including current portions) of $19.8 million, primarily incurred to purchase revenue equipment. Management anticipates increasing the Company's fleet by approximately 50 tractors in 1997, net of replacements, at an anticipated cost of approximately $10.1 million. Management expects to finance such equipment purchases through equipment financing arrangements with various lenders. 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 $1.5 million. The revolving line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory. Interest on the borrowings is at the prime rate less .125%. In May 1994 the Company completed an initial public offering of 823,000 shares of Common Stock. Net proceeds from the offering totaled $7,937,332, all of which were used to repay indebtedness incurred by the Company to purchase revenue equipment. In addition, in May 1994 the Company received approximately $600,000 upon repayment of a note from the Company's principal stockholder, all of which proceeds were also applied to repayment of outstanding indebtedness. In January 1996, the Company implemented a stock repurchase program based on management's belief that, at then current market prices, the common stock represented a sound investment for the Company's corporate funds. Pursuant to the repurchase program, the Company purchased 122,300 shares of the common stock in open market and negotiated transactions, for an aggregate purchase price of $928,500. The Company funded such purchases using working capital and borrowings under its line of credit. The Company currently has outstanding letters of credit, totaling $1,607,000 at December 31, 1996, to cover liability insurance claims and self-insured workers' compensation programs. Annual commitment fees relating to those letters of credit do not exceed 1.5% of the face amounts thereof. In connection with the termination of its S Corporation status and the initial public offering of Common Stock, the Company distributed approximately $2,525,000 to its stockholders of record on March 30, 1994. The distributions represented the previously undistributed taxable earnings of the Company included in the taxable income of such stockholders as a result of the Company's S Corporation status. 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 which 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 the Common Stock and other factors over which the Company has no control, as well as the Company's financial condition and results of operations. 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. 6 BALANCE SHEETS DECEMBER 31, ------------------------- 1996 1995 -

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS - Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. (the "Company") is a flatbed carrier,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. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. 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. INVENTORIES - Parts and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market. 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 5-7 years Other equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements 5-20 years 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. CLAIMS - The Company accrues estimates for the uninsured portion of claims relating to the Company's insurance programs (see Note 6). REVENUE RECOGNITION - Operating revenue and related costs are recognized on the date shipments are delivered by the Company. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE - Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year, adjusted to reflect the reincorporation described in Note 7. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1994 financial statements to conform to the 1996 presentation. 11 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2. PRO FORMA INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) PRO FORMA INCOME TAXES - As described in Note 8, through March 30, 1994, the Company was treated as an S Corporation pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. As such, for all periods prior to March 30, 1994, the Company was not subject to federal income taxes and certain state income taxes. For informational purposes, the statements of operations include an unaudited pro forma adjustment for income taxes which would have been recorded if the Company had not been an S Corporation, computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109. PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER SHARE - Pro forma net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year, adjusted to reflect the reincorporation described in Note 7. 3. 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, 1996, 1995, and 1994 were $233,444, $218,496, and $226,501, respectively. There are no significant post-retirement benefits provided for retired employees of the Company. 4. LEASES The Company leases certain terminal buildings, land and equipment under various agreements, which expire at various dates through 1999. 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 with an initial or remaining noncancellable lease term of more than one year are as follows: YEAR ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1997 $27,048 1998 27,048 1999 6,762 ------- Total $60,858 ======= Total rental expense for all operating leases totaled $98,648, $96,300, and $97,686 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 5. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt at December 31, 1996 and 1995 is summarized as follows: 1996 1995 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue equipment obligations repaid in 1996 $ -- $ 3,650,715 Revenue equipment obligations at LIBOR plus 1.25% (6.81% - 1996 and 7.31% - 1995) payable in monthly installments through August 2001 19,823,044 9,667,697 ----------- ----------- Total 19,823,044 13,318,412 Less current maturities 4,625,204 4,090,561 ----------- ----------- Long-term debt, exclusive of current maturities $15,197,840 $ 9,227,851 =========== =========== 12 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Revenue equipment obligations are collateralized by revenue equipment. Long-term debt is scheduled to mature as follows: Year ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1997 $ 4,625,204 1998 4,625,204 1999 4,625,204 2000 4,330,309 2001 1,617,123 ----------- Total $19,823,044 =========== The Company has a $1,500,000 line of credit agreement with a bank which was not utilized at December31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. The interest rate available on borrowings under the line of credit is prime less .125%. The covenants of 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. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 1996. The fair value of long-term debt 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 and approximates its carrying value. 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is currently self-insured as follows: RETENTION AMOUNT PER OCCURRENCE ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workers' compensation $300,000 Liability - bodily injury and property damage 100,000 Employee medical and hospitalization 90,000 Cargo loss and damage 10,000 Collision and environmental losses No limit 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. 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, 1996, totaling $1,607,000 to cover liability insurance claims and self-insured workers' compensation programs, 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 operations or financial position of the Company. During 1994, the Company retained an environmental consulting firm to conduct an audit of its compliance with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations concerning the environment. The environmental consulting firm detected the presence of soil contamination and potential groundwater contamination related primarily to the use of underground storage tanks, including tanks used by a prior owner of the property, at the Company's terminal in Birmingham, Alabama. The Company notified the Alabama Department of Environmental Management of this contamination. The Company completed the 13 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS process of removing and replacing all currently known underground storage tanks at the Birmingham terminal. The Company also replaced all underground storage tanks at the Clayton, Alabama, terminal. Based upon cost estimates provided by its environmental consulting firm and contractors in 1994, the Company recorded an $800,000 charge to establish a reserve for the removal and replacement of underground storage tanks at the Company's terminals. Based on subsequent reviews of this project by management and its independent consultants, the Company reduced this reserve during 1995 by $293,652 and again during 1996 by $54,878, reflecting a decline in the current estimated costs of remediating the sites. The environmental remediation liability included in the accompanying balance sheet at December31, 1996 is $145,122. There can be no assurance that material liabilities or expenditures will not arise from these or additional environmental matters that may be discovered, or from future requirements of law. The Company does not believe that these expenditures will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. 7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY REINCORPORATION - Originally incorporated in Alabama in 1956 under the name of Boyd Brothers Transportation Company, Incorporated, the Company reincorporated as a Delaware corporation on March 23, 1994, and changed its name to Boyd Bros. Transportation Inc. As a result of the merger that effected the reincorporation, each share of common stock outstanding in the Alabama corporation was converted into 12,000 shares of common stock, resulting in a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding prior to the offering. All common shares and per share amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been adjusted retroactively to give effect to the reincorporation. 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. 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. 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 1994, 1995, or 1996. Information regarding the Plan is summarized below: Option Shares Price ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shares under option: Options granted in 1994 260,000 $ 11.00 Options terminated (16,100) ------- Outstanding at December 31, 1994 243,900 Options granted in 1995 73,000 $ 11.00 Options terminated (25,950) ------- Outstanding at December 31, 1995 290,950 Options granted in 1996 64,500 $7.75-11.00 Options terminated (97,050) ------- Outstanding at December 31, 1996 258,400 ======= Stock options exercisable and shares available for future grants at December 31, 1996, were 77,960 and 75,650, respectively, under the Plan. 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 fair value of the stock at the grant date. As such, no compensation expense is recorded in the accompanying financial statements. 14 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for options awarded in 1996 and 1995 under these plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, the Company's pro forma net income and net income per share would have differed from the amounts reported as follows: As Reported Pro Forma ----------------------- ---------------------- 1996 1995 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- Net income $827,617 $2,124,658 $696,085 $2,079,365 Net income per share $ 0.22 $ 0.56 $ 0.19 $ 0.54 The weighted average fair value of the options granted during 1996 and 1995 is estimated as $6.24 and $8.63, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: dividend yield 0%, volatility of 82.6%, risk-free interest rate of 6.5% and an expected life of 7 years. PUBLIC OFFERING - The Company completed the initial public offering of its common stock in May 1994, under which 823,000 shares of stock were sold. Net proceeds from the offering totaled $7,937,332. DISTRIBUTIONS TO S CORPORATION STOCKHOLDERS - In connection with the termination of its S Corporation status and its initial public offering of common stock, the Company distributed $2,525,000 to the S Corporation stockholders. The distributions represented the previously undistributed taxable earnings of the Company included in the taxable income of the S Corporation stockholders as a result of the Company's S Corporation status. 8. INCOME TAXES The Company terminated its S Corporation status on March 30, 1994, and became subject to corporate income taxes on that date. Upon termination of the S Corporation election, deferred income taxes became a liability of the Company and were recorded in the balance sheet with a corresponding charge to the income statement. The liability as of March 30, 1994, computed under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, was approximately $5,478,000 and is included in the 1994 provision for deferred income taxes. The provision (credit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 consisted of the following (in thousands): 1996 1995 1994 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $ (545) $ 125 $ 1,029 State (58) 20 272 ------- ------ ------- Total current (603) 145 1,301 ------- ------ ------- Deferred: Federal 1,019 979 5,322 State 163 153 (79) ------- ------ ------- Total deferred 1,182 1,132 5,243 ------- ------ ------- Total provision for income taxes $ 579 $1,277 $ 6,544 ======= ====== ======= Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 differs from the amounts computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 34% to income before income taxes as follows (in thousands): 1996 1995 1994 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax expense at the statutory rate $ 478 $1,157 $ 1,561 Deferred taxes recorded upon termination of S Corporation status -- -- 5,478 Tax benefit of pro-rata allocation of items between C Corporation and S Corporation -- -- (737) State income taxes, net of federal benefit 69 94 184 Other 32 26 58 ------ ------ ------- $ 579 $1,277 $ 6,544 ====== ====== ======= 15 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Company has approximately $2,400,000 of state net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes available to offset future state taxable income through 2011.
