other reports or materials filed or to be filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as information included in oral

meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and pursuant to the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements may relate to financial results and plans for future business
activities, and are thus prospective. Such forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual
results to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, general economic conditions, competition and other uncertainties

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, revenues increased 3.9% to $31.4 million as
compared to $30.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. The main factor
for the increase in revenues was a 4.7% increase in the average number of
tractors from 873 in 1996 to 914 in 1997.
The Company's operating ratio was 86.4% of revenues in the second quarter of
1997 compared to 89.8% in the second quarter of 1996.
Salaries, wages and benefits decreased from 47.2% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1996 to 43.6% of revenues in the second quarter of 1997. The major
factor for the decrease was a 2.8% decrease in the amounts paid to Allen Freight
Services, Inc. (AFS) fleet owners.
Rent and purchased transportation decreased by 0.5% of revenues in the second
quarter of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease relates
primarily to the transition at AFS from using leased equipment to using Company
owned equipment.
As a percentage of revenues, the Company's depreciation expense increased 0.4%
from 9.5% in the second quarter of 1996 to 9.9% in the second quarter of 1997.
This increase was a result of the transition at AFS from using leased equipment
to using Company owned equipment.
Interest expense decreased from 3.6% of revenues in the second quarter of 1996
to 2.8% of revenues in the second quarter 1997. This decrease resulted primarily
from the Company reducing its long term debt and its borrowings under its line
of credit during the fourth quarter of 1996 using proceeds of $4.6 million
received by the Company in connection with the exercise of stock purchase
warrants by its majority shareholder.
The Company's effective tax rate remained constant at 38% for the periods
compared.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
For the six months ended June 30, 1997, revenues increased 19.1% to $64.0
million as compared to $53.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. The
main factor for the increase in revenues was a 13.6% increase in the average
number of tractors from 807 in 1996 to 917 in 1997.
8
9
The Company's operating ratio was 88.6% of revenues in the first six months of
1997 compared to 90.3% in the first six months of 1996.
Salaries, wages and benefits decreased from 45.8% of revenues in the first six
months of 1996 to 45.0% of revenues in first six months of 1997. The primary
reason for the decrease was a 0.8% decrease in the amounts paid to AFS fleet
owners.
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 18.7% of revenues in the first
six months of 1996 to 19.5% of revenues in the first six months of 1997. The
increase was due to the reduction in the number of fleet owners used in AFS
operations, the corresponding increase in the use of Company owned equipment and
the related increase in fuel and maintenance expense attributable to Company
owned equipment.
As a percentage of revenues, the Company's depreciation expense decreased 0.8%
from 10.7% in the first six months of 1996 to 9.9% in the first six months of
1997. This decrease was the result of the tractors acquired in 1996 and 1997
having higher salvage values relative to the total cost of the tractors
purchased in such periods.
Interest expense decreased from 3.8% of revenues in the first six months of 1996
to 2.8% of revenues in the first six months of 1997. This decrease resulted
primarily from the Company reducing its long term debt and its borrowings under
its line of credit during the fourth quarter 1996 using proceeds of $4.6 million
received by the Company in connection with the exercise of stock purchase
warrants by its majority shareholder.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the first six months of 1997 the Company generated $9.9 million in cash
from operating activities. Investing activities used $5.8 million in cash in the
first six months of 1997. Financing activities used $9.3 million in the first
six months 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 $6.2 million (at an interest
rate of 7.84%) at June 30, 1997, including $3.6 million (at an interest rate of
7.44%) in equipment debt and $1.5 million in letters of credit. The Company's
borrowing base limitation at June 30, 1997 was $14.8 million. The line of credit
is guaranteed by the Company and matures May 31, 1999.
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 typically entered into for the purchase of
revenue equipment; however, the Company purchased additional revenue equipment
during the first six months of 1997 with a cost of $5,726,425 using its existing
line of credit. In addition, 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.
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 June 30, 1997, to repay indebtedness coming due in the current year, and to
fund its operating needs during fiscal 1997.
