                          SIMON TRANSPORTATION SERVICES INC.

                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (Unaudited)

Note 1.           Basis of Presentation

                  The condensed  consolidated  financial  statements include the
                  accounts  of  Simon  Transportation  Services  Inc.,  a Nevada
                  holding company, and its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Dick Simon
                  Trucking,  Inc.  (together,  the  "Company").  All significant
                  intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
                  consolidation.

                  The financial statements have been prepared, without audit, in
                  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,
                  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and
                  Exchange  Commission.  In  the  opinion  of  management,   the
                  accompanying  financial  statements  include  all  adjustments
                  which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
                  the interim periods  presented,  such  adjustments  being of a
                  normal  recurring  nature.  Certain  information  and footnote
                  disclosures  have been  condensed or omitted  pursuant to such
                  rules  and  regulations.  The  September  30,  2000  condensed
                  consolidated  statement of financial position was derived from
                  the audited  balance  sheet of the Company as of September 30,
                  2000.  It  is  suggested  that  these  condensed  consolidated
                  financial  statements and notes thereto be read in conjunction
                  with the consolidated  financial  statements and notes thereto
                  included  in the Form  10-K of Simon  Transportation  Services
                  Inc.  for the  year  ended  September  30,  2000.  Results  of
                  operations in interim periods are not  necessarily  indicative
                  of results to be expected for a full year.


Note 2:           Subsequent Event

                  On January 22,  2001,  the  Company  acquired a portion of the
                  trucking  assets  of  Westway   Express,   Inc.   ("Westway"),
                  primarily  mobile  communication  equipment and  miscellaneous
                  assets.  The Company entered into a lease for a terminal owned
                  by  Westway,   refinanced  Westway  leases  for  tractors  and
                  trailers,  and assumed leases for terminals.  The Company will
                  also pay Westway for assisting the Company in hiring  drivers.
                  Total  consideration to Westway is approximately $2.1 million,
                  excluding  future lease payments.  The transaction  included a
                  five year non-compete agreement.

uncertainties  include economic  recessions or downturns in customers'  business
cycles, excessive increases in capacity within the truckload markets,  decreased
demand for transportation  services offered by the Company,  rapid inflation and
fuel price  increases,  increases  in interest  rates,  the resale value of used
equipment,  and the availability and compensation of qualified drivers.  Readers
should review and consider the various  disclosures  made by the Company in this
quarterly  report and in its reports to its stockholders and periodic reports on
Forms 10-K and 10-Q.





                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

         The Company's  fiscal year ends on September 30 of each year. Thus, the
fiscal  quarters  discussed in this report  represent the Company's first fiscal
quarters of its 2001 and 2000 fiscal years, respectively.


Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

         Operating  revenue increased $11.6 million (21.6%) to $65.5 million for
the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2000,   from  $53.9  million  for  the
corresponding  period of 1999.  Approximately  31%  of  the  revenue  growth was
represented  by fuel surcharge revenue, which impacts the percentage  of revenue
represented  by the  various expense items.  Weighted average tractors increased
17.4%, to 1,973 in the 2000 period from 1,681 in the 1999  period.

         Salaries,  wages, and benefits  increased $3.4 million (15.2%) to $26.0
million  during the quarter  ended  December 31, 2000 from $22.6  million in the
1999 period. As a percentage of revenue, salaries, wages, and benefits decreased
to 39.7% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2000, from 41.9% for
the  corresponding  period of 1999. The decrease was primarily  attributable  an
increase  in the  revenue  per  mile,  mostly  attributable  to fuel  surcharge.
Effective  November 1, 2000,  management  raised  driver  wages by two cents per
mile. One cent of the increase  applies to all drivers at all levels and another
cent can be attained based upon a monthly mileage target. (*)

         Fuel and fuel taxes  increased  $4.4 million  (42.7%) to $14.8  million
during the  quarter  ended  December  31,  2000 from  $10.4  million in the 1999
period.  As a percentage of revenue,  fuel and fuel taxes  increased to 22.6% of
revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2000,  from 19.3% of revenue for
the corresponding period of 1999. This was the result of a 29.5% increase in the
average  price of fuel during the 2000 quarter from $1.22 per gallon in the 1999
quarter to $1.58 per gallon in the 2000 quarter.  The Company has  agreements in
place  with a  substantial  number  of  customers  who have  agreed  to pay fuel
surcharges to help offset the escalation in fuel prices. However, increased fuel
prices will not be fully offset by these surcharges.

         Operating  supplies and expenses increased $2.0 million (29.6%) to $8.8
million during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $6.8 million in the 1999
period. As a percentage of revenue, operating supplies and expenses increased to
13.4% of revenue for the three  months ended  December 31, 2000,  from 12.6% for
the corresponding period of 1999. The increase is primarily  attributable to the
increased recruiting and other costs associated with driver turnover.

         Taxes and  licenses  increased  $0.7  million  (42.1%) to $2.3  million
during  the  quarter  ended   December  31,  2000  from  $1.6  million  for  the
corresponding  period of 1999.  As a percentage  of revenue,  taxes and licenses
increased  to 3.5% of revenue for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2000,
compared  with  3.0% for the  corresponding  period  of 1999.  The  increase  is
primarily  attributable  to the  payment of federal  highway use tax on vehicles
that have been removed from service and replaced with new equipment.

         Insurance and claims  increased  $2.1 million  (146.0%) to $3.5 million
during the quarter ended  December 31, 2000 from $1.4 million during the quarter
ended  December  31,  1999.  As a percentage  of revenue,  insurance  and claims
increased to 5.3% for the three months ended  December 31, 2000,  compared  with

2.6% for the  corresponding  period of 1999,  primarily as a result of increased
claims associated with driver turnover.  Effective, October 1, 1999, the Company
adopted  a  fully-developed  claims  expense  estimate  based  on  an  actuarial
computation  of the ultimate  liability.  Both the method  formerly  used by the
Company  and  the   fully-developed   method  are  acceptable  under  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.

         Communications  and utilities  increased  $0.3 million  (31.9%) to $1.3
million  during the quarter ended December 31, 2000 from $1.0 million during the
quarter ended December 31, 1999. As a percentage of revenue,  communications and
utilities remained  essentially constant at 1.9% of revenue for the three months
ended  December 31, 2000,  compared  with 1.8% for the  corresponding  period of
1999.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased $0.2 million (19.5%) to $1.0
million  during the quarter  ended  December  31, 2000 from $1.2 million for the
corresponding  period of 1999.  As a  percentage  of revenue,  depreciation  and
amortization  (adjusted for the net gain on the sale of property and  equipment)
decreased to 1.5% of revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2000,  from
2.2%  for the  corresponding  period  of  1999,  because  of a  decrease  in the
percentage of the Company's  revenue  equipment that was owned or acquired under
capital leases. Depreciation and amortization was adjusted for a net gain on the
sale of revenue equipment of $270,765 during the 2000 period compared with a net
gain of $439,923  during the 1999  period.  Because of a softening of the market
for used  equipment,  management  does not  expect  gains on the sale of revenue
equipment to continue as in the past.(*)

         Rent  increased  $1.6 million  (18.4%) to $10.4 million for the quarter
ended December 31, 2000 from $8.8 million for the corresponding  period of 1999.
As a  percentage  of revenue,  rent  decreased to 15.9% of revenue for the three
months ended December 31, 2000, from 16.3% for the corresponding period of 1999,
as a result of higher  revenue per mile in the 2000  period.  The fixed costs of
rent were  offset  against  a higher  rate per  mile.  Substantially  all of the
Company's revenue  equipment is financed through  operating leases.  The Company
utilized  operating  leases  during  the most  recent  quarter  because  of more
favorable terms. If the Company continues to use operating lease financing,  its
operating  ratio will  continue  to be affected  in future  periods  because the
implied  financing  costs of such  equipment are included as operating  expenses
instead of interest expense. During the 2001 quarter, the Company began an owner
operator program.  Currently,  owner operators comprise  approximately 6% of the
total  Company  fleet.  As the  ratio  of owner  operators  to  Company  drivers
increases, the percentage of rent will also increase.(*)

         As a result of the foregoing,  the Company's  operating ratio increased
to 103.9% for the three  months  ended  December  31,  2000,  from 99.8% for the
corresponding period of 1999.

         Net interest expense increased $0.1 million (29.2%) to $0.4 million for
the quarter  ended  December  31, 2000 from $0.3  million for the  corresponding
period of 1999.  As a  percentage  of revenue,  net  interest  expense  remained
constant at 0.6% of revenue for the three  months ended  December 31, 2000,  and
the corresponding period in 1999.

         The Company's effective combined federal and state income tax rates for
the  three  months  ended  December  31,  2000 and  1999  was  0.0%  and  36.0%,
respectively.  Due to the loss  reported  by the  Company  in the  2000  period,
management has established a valuation allowance to offset the potential benefit
for income taxes until such time as the Company returns to profitability.

         As a result of the factors  described  above,  net loss  increased $2.9
million to a loss of $3.0 million for the three months ended  December 31, 2000,
compared with a net loss of $0.1 million for the  corresponding  period of 1999.
As a percentage  of revenue,  net loss was 4.6% of revenue in the quarter  ended
December 31, 2000, compared with 0.3% in the 1999 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The  growth  of  the  Company's   business  has  required   significant
investment in new revenue  equipment that the Company  historically has financed
with  borrowings  under   installment   notes  payable  to  commercial   lending
institutions  and equipment  manufacturers,  equipment  leases from  third-party
lessors, borrowings under its line of credit, and cash flow from operations. The
Company's  primary  sources of liquidity  currently  borrowings  and leases with
financial  institutions  and  equipment  manufacturers.  During the  three-month
periods ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,  the Company  continued to finance its
tractors with operating leases.

         Net cash used in  operating  activities  was $1.9 million for the three
months ended  December 31, 2000.  Accounts  receivable  increased  $2.4 million,
prepaid  licensing on revenue  equipment  increased  $0.9 million,  and accounts
payable,   accrued   liabilities  and  accrued  claims  decreased  $3.4  million
collectively.  These  uses of cash  were  offset  by a  non-cash  charge of $1.0
million for depreciation.

         Net cash  provided by  investing  activities  was $0.4  million for the
three months ended December 31, 2000. The Company  purchased $2.9 million of new
property and revenue equipment and sold revenue equipment for $3.3 million.  The
Company  expects  capital  expenditures  (primarily  for revenue  equipment  and
satellite  communications  units), net of revenue equipment sales and trade-ins,
to be  approximately  $33.3 million in aggregate for fiscal years 2001 and 2002.
The Company expects projected  capital  expenditures to be funded with operating
leases, borrowings and, if available, cash flows from operations.(*)

         Net cash provided by financing  activities was $0.9 million in the 2000
period,  consisting  of borrowings  under the  Company's  line of credit of $1.8
million  offset by payments of $0.9  million of  principal  under the  Company's
long-term debt and capitalized lease agreements.

         The maximum  amount  committed  under the  Company's  line of credit at
December  31, 2000 was $20 million.  As of December  31,  2000,  the Company had
drawn $17.8 million against the line. The interest rate on the line of credit is
1.75 percent above the 30-day London Interbank  Offered Rate ("LIBOR") in effect
from  time-to-time.  At December  31,  2000,  the Company had other  outstanding
long-term debt and capitalized lease obligations (including current portions) of
approximately $2.9 million, most of which comprised obligations for the purchase
of revenue equipment. As of September 30, 2000, the Company's future commitments
under noncancelable operating leases amounted to $74.1 million.

         In January 2001, the Company amended its credit  facility.  The amended
agreement  provides  for a $10 million  term loan in addition to the $20 million
line of credit.  The term loan matures September 30, 2001 and the line of credit
matures  September 30, 2002.  Borrowings  under the line of credit and term loan
are secured by the Company's Salt Lake City terminal  facility.  In addition,  a
portion of  borrowings  under the  agreement  are  guaranteed  by the  Company's
majority stockholder.  All borrowings under the agreement bear interest at rates
ranging from 1.75 percent to 3.25 percent  above the  Eurodollar  Rate in effect
from  time-to-time.  Applicable  interest  rates  are  determined  based  on the
Company's net worth.

         The Company's  working  capital at December 31, 2000 was $16.1 million.
Management believes that available  borrowings under the line of credit and term
loan,  and  future   borrowings  under   installment   notes  payable  or  lease
arrangements  for revenue  equipment  will allow the Company to continue to meet
its  working  capital  requirements,   anticipated  capital  expenditures,   and
obligations  under debt and  capitalized  and operating  leases at least through
fiscal year 2001. (*)

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

         The  principal  market  risks to  which  the  Company  is  exposed  are
fluctuation in fuel prices and interest rates on our debt financing.

         We are not  engaged  in any fuel  hedging  transactions.  Thus,  we are
exposed to  fluctuations  in fuel  prices but are not exposed to any market risk
involving hedging costs.

         The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which we are exposed are  interest  rates
on our debt  financing.  Our variable rate debt consists of a revolving  line of
credit and term loan, and an equipment finance term loan carrying interest rates
tied to LIBOR or the Eurodollar rate. These variable interest rates expose us to
the risk that interest rates may rise. At December 31, 2000,  assuming borrowing
equal to the $17.8 million drawn on the line of credit and $0.2 million on other
outstanding  variable rate loans, a one  percentage  point increase in the LIBOR
and Eurodollar rate would increase our annual interest  expense by approximately
$180,000.  The balance of our equipment  financing  carries fixed interest rates
and includes term notes payable and capitalized  leases  totaling  approximately
$2.7  million.  These fixed  interest  rates expose us to the risk that interest
rates may fall. A one percentage  point decline in interest rates would have the
effect of  increasing  the  premium  we pay over  market  interest  rates by one
percentage point or approximately $27,000 annually.



PART II

                               OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.           Legal Proceedings.

         The Company and certain of its officers and  directors  have been named
as defendants in a securities  class action filed in the United States  District
Court for the District of Utah, Caprin v. Simon Transportation  Services,  Inc.,
et al.,  No.  2:98CV 863K (filed  December 3, 1998).  Plaintiffs  in this action
allege that defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions during the
period  February  13, 1997  through  April 2, 1998 in  violation of Sections 11,
12(2) and 15 of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934  and Rule  10b-5  promulgated  thereunder.  On
September  27,  2000,  the District  Court  dismissed  the case with  prejudice.
Plaintiffs have asked the Court for  reconsideration and alteration or amendment
of the decision.

         The  Company is a  defendant  in a lawsuit  filed  April of 1998 in the
Third  District  Court in and for Salt Lake County Utah,  Gallegos v. Dick Simon
Trucking,  Inc.,  based upon the death of two people and the severe brain injury
to a child in an accident  involving  a Company  truck.  The lawsuit  involves a
punitive  damage  claim,  which is  uninsurable  under Utah law. The Company has
admitted  liability on the non-punitive  damages claims.  The lawsuit is set for
trial on March 29, 2001. The probable verdict range of the  compensatory  damage
claim is from 5 to 20  million  dollars,  well  within the  Company's  liability
insurance  limits.  Liability for the punitive  damage claim and likely punitive
damage  verdict  amount,  if any, are very  difficult to predict.  Management is
unable to assess the ultimate impact of this litigation on the Company's results
of operations or financial position.

         The Company from time to time is a party to  litigation  arising in the
ordinary course of its business,  substantially all of which involves claims for
personal injury and property damage incurred in the  transportation  of freight.
Management is not aware of any claims or threatened claims that reasonably would
be expected to exceed insurance limits or have a materially  adverse effect upon
the Company's operations or financial position.
