THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996
For the quarter ended March 31, 1997 revenues increased 38.7% to $32.6 million
as compared to $23.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase
in revenues was attributable to a 23.9% increase in average tractors from 742 in
1996 to 919 in 1997 of which 166 were added in connection with the acquisition
of Allen Freight Services, Inc. (A.F.S.) on March 11, 1996. A.F.S. produced
revenues of $5.2 million for the first quarter of 1997 and $1.2 million for the
period from March 11, 1996 to March 31, 1996.
The Company's operating ratio was 90.8% in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
90.9% in the first quarter of 1996.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 44% as a percentage of revenues in
the first quarter of 1996 to 46.4% in the first quarter of 1997. The major
factors for the increase were an increase in workers' compensation expense, and
the accrual of bonus compensation related to the Company's Incentive
Compensation Plan.
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 19.4% of revenues in the first
quarter of 1996 to 20.6% in the first quarter of 1997. Factors contributing to
the increase were increases in tires and maintenance expenses and increases in
loading, unloading and spotting expenses. The tires and maintenance expense
increase was a result of the delayed delivery of new replacement and additional
equipment which forced the use of older equipment beyond its normal retirement
date. The loading, unloading and spotting expense increase can be attributed to
the acquisition of A.F.S. which has customers requiring this service as a part
of the movement of their freight.
The Company's operating taxes and licenses expenses decreased 0.7% from 6.5% as
a percentage of revenues in the first quarter of 1996 to 5.8% in the first
quarter of 1997. This reduction can be attributed to a decrease in fuel taxes
which relates to the use of fleet owners by A.F.S. and to a decrease in license
and registration expense which is attributable to a reduced amount of individual
state decals required as more states join the International Fuel Tax Agreement
(IFTA).
The Company realized a decrease in depreciation expense of 2.2% of revenues in
the first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1996 from 12.2% to
10.0%. This was the result of tractor additions in 1996 and 1997 having higher
salvage values relative to the total cost of the tractors purchased and the use
of fleet owners by A.F.S.

9
Communications and utilities expenses decreased from 1.1% as a percentage of
revenues in the first quarter of 1996 to .6% in the first quarter of 1997. This
decrease reflects the negotiation of lower rates for communications services.
Interest expense decreased in absolute dollars $79,627, which reflects a lower
line of credit balance for the first quarter of 1997 when compared to the first
quarter of 1996.
The Company's effective tax rate increased from 38.0% in the first quarter of
1996 to 40.0% in the first quarter of 1997. This increase is primarily due to
state income taxes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first quarter of 1997 the Company generated $4.8 million in cash from
operating activities. Investing activities used $1.9 million in cash in the
first quarter of 1997. Financing activities used $8.4 million in the first
quarter of 1997 primarily for the repayment of the Company's line of credit and
repayments of long-term debt.
The Company's principal subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., has a $15.0 million
secured bank line of credit subject to borrowing limitations. Outstanding
advances on this line of credit were approximately $2.9 million (at an interest
rate of 8.07%) at March 31, 1997, including $1.5 million in letters of credit.
The Company's borrowing base limitation at March 31, 1997 was $10.9 million. The
line of credit is guaranteed by the Company and matures May 31, 1998.
Proceeds of $4.6 million received by the Company from its majority shareholder
as a result of the exercise of stock purchase warrants, in the fourth quarter of
1996, were used to pay down the Company's line of credit.
In addition to cash flow from operations, the Company uses its existing line of
credit on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term
debt. Longer-term transactions, such as installment notes (generally three and
four year terms at fixed rates) are entered into for the purchase of revenue
equipment. P.A.M. Dedicated Services, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, entered
into an installment obligation in the first quarter of 1997 for the purchase of
replacement revenue equipment for approximately $1.7 million payable in 48
monthly installments at an interest rate of 7.50%.
During 1997 the Company plans to replace and/or add 500 trailers and 205
tractors and expects to incur additional debt of approximately $17.0 million.
However, the Company intends to structure a portion of these equipment
expenditures in the form of operating leases. Management expects that the
Company's existing working capital and its available line of credit will be
sufficient to meet the Company's capital commitments as of March 31, 1997, to
repay indebtedness coming due in the current year, and to fund its operating
needs during fiscal 1997.
