Allied Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The statements contained herein reflect all adjustments, all of which are of a normal, recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2001. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of Allied Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) included in the Company’s 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2. Long-Term Debt and Supplemental Guarantor Information

On September 30, 1997, the Company issued $150 million of 8 5/8 % senior notes (the “Notes”) through a private placement. Subsequently, the senior notes were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The net proceeds from the Notes were used to fund the acquisition of Ryder Automotive Carrier Services, Inc. and RC Management Corp., pay related fees and expenses, and reduce outstanding indebtedness. The Company’s obligations under the Notes are guaranteed by substantially all of the subsidiaries of the Company (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Haul Insurance Ltd., Arrendadora de Equipo Para el Transporte de Automoviles, S. de R.L. de C.V., Axis Logistica, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Axis Netherlands C.V. do not guarantee the Company’s obligations under the Notes (the “Nonguarantor Subsidiaries”). The following condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations and statements of cash flows present the financial statements of the parent company and the combined financial statements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Nonguarantor Subsidiaries. The Guarantors are jointly and severally liable for the Company’s obligations under the Notes and there are no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the Company.

Note 3. Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income was a loss of $11.9 million for the third quarter of 2001 versus a loss of $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2000, and a loss of $38.5 million for the first nine months of 2001 versus a loss of $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2000. The difference between comprehensive income and net income is the change in the foreign currency translation adjustment, net of income taxes.

Note 4. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

			The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. The statement establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

			From time to time, the Company enters into futures contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in fuel prices. Gains and losses from fuel hedging contracts are recognized as part of fuel expense when the Company uses the underlying fuel being hedged. The Company does not enter into fuel hedging contracts for speculative purposes. At September 30, 2001, the Company did not have any outstanding fuel hedging contracts or other derivative instruments that fall under the provisions of SFAS No. 133.

Note 5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved Statement of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 prospectively prohibits the pooling of interest method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 requires companies to cease amortizing goodwill that existed at June 30, 2001. The amortization of existing goodwill will cease on December 31, 2001. Any goodwill resulting from acquisitions completed after June 30, 2001 will not be amortized. SFAS No. 142 also establishes a new method of testing goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or on an interim basis if an event occurs or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 will result in the Company’s discontinuation of amortization of its goodwill; however, the Company will be required to test its goodwill for impairment under the new standard beginning in the first quarter of 2002, which could have an adverse effect on the Company’s future results of operations if an impairment occurs.

			In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations"' which addresses accounting and reporting for asset retirement costs of long lived assets resulting from legal obligations associated with acquisition, construction or development transactions. The Company plans to adopt Statement No. 143 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Management has determined the adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

			In August 2001, The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” which clarifies accounting and reporting for assets held for sale, scheduled for abandonment or other disposal, and recognition of impairment loss related to the carrying value of long-lived assets. The Company plans to adopt Statement No. 144 in the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this statement on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Note 6. Workforce Reduction Accrual

The Company has implemented a program to achieve a significant reduction in corporate overhead expenses. Targeted in the plan are workforce reductions and additional efforts to decrease discretionary spending and eliminate fixed costs. The components of the workforce reduction accrual are as follows (Dollars in millions):


	Year Ended			Quarter Ended

Note 7. Segment Reporting

In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company has identified two reportable industry segments through which it conducts its operating activities: Allied Automotive Group and Axis Group. These two segments reflect the organization used by management for internal reporting. Allied Automotive Group is engaged in the business of transporting automobiles and light trucks from manufacturing plants, ports, auctions, and railway distribution points to automobile dealerships. Axis Group provides distribution, automobile inspection, auction, and logistics services for the automotive industry.

Note 8. Equity Investments

			Axis Group has entered into three joint ventures for the purpose of managing the distribution of vehicles in the United Kingdom and Brazil. The Company is accounting for the investments under the equity method of accounting with its share of the ventures’ earnings or loss reflected as equity in earnings (loss) of joint ventures in the consolidated statements of operations. The related equity investments are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

			Equity in earnings for these joint ventures is recorded net of income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations by the Company. Income taxes related to the joint ventures were $.6 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and $2,000 and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Included in the 2001 results are $1.7 million in fees related to management services provided to the joint venture and $1.5 million for similar fees is included in the 2000 results.

			The majority of the Company’s equity in earnings of joint ventures in 2001 was derived from its joint venture in the United Kingdom, Ansa Logistics Limited. Summarized unaudited financial information of Ansa Logistics Limited for the periods ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, is as follows (in thousands):

Note 9. Litigation

			The Company is routinely a party to litigation incidental to its business, primarily involving claims for personal injury and property damage incurred in the transportation of vehicles. The Company does not believe that any of such pending litigation, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

			The Company is defending two pieces of related litigation in the Supreme Court of Erie County, New York: Gateway Development & Manufacturing, Inc. v. Commercial Carriers, Inc., et al., Index No. 1997/8920 (the “Gateway Case”), and Commercial Carriers, Inc., v. Gateway Development & Manufacturing, Inc., et al. (the “CCI Case”), Index No. I2000/8184. The claims at issue in both the Gateway Case and the CCI Case center around the contention that the Company breached legal duties with respect to a failed business transaction involving Gateway Development & Manufacturing, Inc., Ryder Truck Rental, Inc., and Ryder System, Inc. In the Gateway Case, the Company has sought and received summary judgment in its favor on the sole claim (for tortious interference with contract) asserted against it by Gateway Development & Manufacturing, Inc., but the court has permitted the filing and service of cross-claims against the Company by the other defendants in that action. In the CCI Case, the Company has accepted service of a separate complaint asserting claims against the Company that are virtually identical to the cross-claims asserted against the Company by the other defendants in the Gateway Case. It is anticipated that the claims asserted in both the Gateway Case and the CCI Case will be resolved in a unified proceeding. With respect to the entirety of this litigation, the Company intends to continue its vigorous defense against the claims asserted it, as management believes all of those claims are without merit. While the ultimate results of this litigation cannot be predicted, if this litigation is resolved in a manner that is adverse to the Company, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

			The Company is defending a third piece of related litigation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Ryder Systems, Inc. v. Allied Holdings, Inc., AH Acquisition Corp. and Allied Automotive Group, Inc., Case No. 01-3553-CIV-HUCK. The claims at issue in this case center around the Allied parties’ September 1997 stock acquisition of certain corporations wholly-owned by Ryder. Through that acquisition, Allied parties agreed to assume financial responsibility for certain third-

party injury claims arising on or before the September 1997 closing date. Ryder’s four-count complaint alleges in count one that the Allied parties have breached their agreement with Ryder by failing to undertake certain logistical actions to actually substitute Allied parties for Ryder under an insurance policy covering these third-party claims and with various states’ agencies who regulate matters such as self-insured workers’ compensation. In counts two through four, the complaint alleges that, if the contract does not create these obligations, the legal doctrines of promissory estoppel, good faith and fair dealing, and negligent misrepresentation, create them. The Allied parties have moved to dismiss all counts of the complaint or, alternatively, to transfer the case to the Northern District of Georgia. With respect to the entirety of this litigation, the Company intends to continue its vigorous defense against the claims asserted, as management believes all of those claims are without merit. While the ultimate results of this litigation cannot be predicted, management does not expect that the resolution of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

			Revenues were $204.0 million for the third quarter of 2001 versus revenues of $236.3 million for the third quarter of 2000, a decrease of 13.7%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 revenues were $672.4 million, versus revenues of $815.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, a decrease of 17.5%.

			Allied has initiated an aggressive plan to revitalize the Company. The key elements of the turnaround plan include:

			• Focus on Execution
			• De-leverage the Company
			• Eliminate Non-contributory Expense
			• Eliminate Non-performing Assets
			• Better Management of Cash
			• Price Adjustments
			• Optimize Invested Assets
			• Implement Strategic Growth Plan

			Unanticipated adjustments in new vehicle production by the auto manufacturers led to lower vehicle delivery volumes and a decline in revenues and earnings during the third quarter. The events of September 11, 2001 caused a significant drop in new vehicle productions during the balance of the month. The Company estimates its vehicle deliveries were reduced by approximately 85,000 units during September 2001 following the terrorist acts, which reduced net earnings by approximately $2 million for the month.

			As part of the initiative to adjust pricing, effective on or about September 6, 2001, the Company implemented an administrative processing fee for vehicles transported on behalf of its clients in the United States and Canada. Allied has implemented the new processing fee with clients representing approximately 85% of its annual revenues. The remaining portion of Allied’s business is under a contract which prohibits the implementation of the fee at the present time. The administrative processing fee is approximately an 8.5% price increase over the Company’s previous rates.

			The Company experienced a net loss of $12.6 million for the third quarter of 2001 versus a net loss of $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2000. Basic and diluted loss per share for the third quarter of 2001 was $1.56 versus basic and diluted loss per share of $0.58 for the third quarter of 2000. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001, the net loss was $37.2 million, versus net income of $1.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. Basic and diluted loss per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 were $4.60 versus basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.16 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000.

			As part of the initiative to eliminate non-performing assets, Allied announced that it will close certain non-performing and non-core terminal locations within the U.S. and Canada. Allied closed its Doremus, NJ facility on July 1, 2001. In the first nine months of 2001, the operations of Allied at Doremus, NJ generated approximately $4.8 million in revenues and posted an operating loss of approximately $1.4 million. Allied intends to close its Houston, TX, Selkirk, NY and Edison, NJ terminal facilities during the fourth quarter of 2001. In the first nine months of 2001, the operations of the automotive group at Houston, Selkirk and Edison generated approximately $23 million in revenues and posted operating losses of approximately $4 million.

			The following is a discussion of the changes in the Company’s major expense categories:

			Salaries, wages and fringe benefits increased from 56.2% of revenues for the third quarter of 2000 to 58.2% of revenues for the third quarter of 2001, and increased from 54.2% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 to 58.2% of revenues for the first nine months of 2001. The increase was due in part to severance charged to expense of $4.9 million in the first six months of 2001 and $1.6 million in the third quarter of 2001 included in the Company’s workforce and overhead reduction program, as well as annual wage increases for remaining employees. In addition, the significant drop in vehicle deliveries caused operating inefficiencies that increased salaries, wages, and fringe benefits as a percentage of revenues.

			Operating supplies and expenses decreased from 17.3% of revenues for the third quarter of 2000 to 16.6% of revenues for the third quarter of 2001, and also decreased from 17.3% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 to 17.1% of revenues for the first nine months of 2001. The decrease was due primarily to an increase in the percentage of units hauled by owner operators versus company drivers. Owner operators are responsible for related operating expenses. In addition, operating supplies and expenses declined due to a decrease in parts and maintenance expense related to vigorous expense reduction programs and decreasing volumes, combined with lower fuel costs.

			Purchased transportation increased from 10.0% of revenues in the third quarter of 2000 to 11.4% of revenues in the third quarter of 2001, and increased from 9.8% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 to 11.2% of revenues for the first nine months of 2001. As volumes decline, units are hauled by drivers with the highest seniority and owner operators generally have more seniority than company drivers in the current workforce. The number of owner operators stayed relatively constant from year to year while the number of company drivers decreased, resulting in higher purchased transportation for 2001 compared to 2000.

			Insurance and claims expense increased from 4.8% of revenues for the third quarter of 2000 to 5.2% of revenues for the third quarter of 2001, and increased from 4.5% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 to 5.6% of revenues for the first nine months of 2001. The increase was a result of an increase in cargo claims expense and costs related to higher auto, general liability and property insurance premiums that were unaffected by the decline in vehicles delivered.

			Depreciation and amortization expense increased from 6.4% of revenues in the third quarter of 2000 to 7.4% of revenues in the third quarter of 2001, and increased from 5.6% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 to 6.8% of revenues for the first nine months of 2001. The increase as a percentage of revenues was due primarily to a sharp decline in vehicles delivered which reduced revenues. Depreciation and amortization expense stayed relatively constant in 2001 versus 2000; depreciation and amortization expense was $15.1 million in the third quarter of 2001 versus $15.0 million in the third quarter of 2000, and $45.4 million for the first nine months of 2001 versus $45.7 million for the first nine months of 2000.

			Loss/gain on sale of assets increased from a loss of $97,000 for the first nine months of 2000 to a gain of $2,719,000 for the first nine months of 2001. The Company disposed of excess real estate and other assets in Canada during the second quarter of 2001.

Interest expense as a percentage of revenues increased from 3.5% of revenues for the third quarter of 2000 to 4.5% of revenues for the third quarter of 2001, and increased from 3.1% of revenues for the first nine months of 2000 to 4.1% for the first nine months of 2001. The increase was due to higher interest rates charged under the Company’s revolving credit facility and senior subordinated notes as a result of the amendments in the second quarter of 2001, as well as higher long-term debt levels and additional costs related to the amendments.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

			Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $25.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. The decline in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to reduced earnings during the first nine months of 2001 versus 2000, offset with a favorable change in operating assets and liabilities as the Company has implemented measures to improve asset utilization.

			Net cash used in investing activities totaled $15.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 versus $37.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. The decrease was due primarily to the purchase of CT Group, a logistics service group, in 2000 for $8.2 million, combined with a change in the investment portfolio mix of the Company’s captive insurance company which increased short-term investments by $14.0 million and reduced cash and cash equivalents by a like amount in 2000.

			Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $23.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2001 versus $3.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000. The increase was due to an increase in borrowings during 2001 as a result of lower operating cash flow.

			In April 2001 the Company amended its revolving credit facility and its senior subordinated notes to avoid defaults relating to its financial covenants. The maturity date of the amended revolving credit facility has been accelerated from September 30, 2002 to January 31, 2002.

			The Company’s future cash flow would be insufficient to meet its debt payment obligations if it is required to repay the outstanding balance of the Credit Facility at its currently scheduled maturity in January 2002. The Company’s ability to meet its principal payment obligations at the January 2002 maturity will depend on whether it can arrange a refinancing, restructuring or extension of such facility on satisfactory terms within that time frame. The Company is engaged in discussions with a number of lenders to replace its revolving credit facility, and completion of the financing is anticipated by January 2002.

			If the Company is unable to refinance, restructure or extend its Credit Facility, the Company may be required to sell additional assets, reduce or delay capital investments or seek to raise additional capital, among other things. The Company cannot give any

			assurance that any refinancing, restructuring or extension of the current Credit Facility would be possible, that any assets could be sold, or, if sold, of the timing of the sales and the amount of proceeds realized from those sales, or that additional capital could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all. The Company’s inability to refinance, restructure or extend its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. Additionally, the Company has been advised by its independent public accountants that if the Company is unable to refinance, restructure or extend its indebtedness, the auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001 may contain a paragraph regarding uncertainties as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The debt under the Company’s Credit Facility is secured by liens on all of its assets, and the Company’s failure to pay these obligations when due would permit the lenders to pursue their remedies under the Credit Facility.

			The Company’s ability to obtain sufficient cash to make scheduled payments on its debt obligations as they become due until the January 2002 maturity will depend on future cash flow from operations, sales of assets and the Company’s financial performance, which will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors. The Company cannot control many of these factors, such as general economic and financial conditions in the automotive industry and the economy at large.

			Allied is continuing its efforts in regard to the potential sale of its Axis Group, Inc. subsidiary. Allied is currently engaged in discussions with prospective buyers of Axis and expects to complete a transaction regarding Axis by January 2002.

Disclosures About Market Risks

			The market risk inherent in the Company’s market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in short-term investment prices, interest rates, fuel prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.

			Short-term Investments – The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment portfolio. The Company places its investments in instruments that meet high credit quality standards, as specified in the Company’s investment policy guidelines. The policy also limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issue, issuer, and type of instrument. Short-term investments at September 30, 2001, which are recorded at a fair value of $64.8 million, have exposure to price risk. This risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in quoted prices and amounts to $6.5 million.

			Interest Rates – The Company primarily issues long-term debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including capital expenditures and working capital needs. The majority of the Company’s long-term debt obligations bear a fixed rate of interest. A one-percentage point increase in interest rates affecting the Company’s floating rate long-term debt would reduce pre-tax income by $1.6 million over the next fiscal year. A one-percentage point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate long-term debt.

			Fuel Prices – The Company is dependent on diesel fuel to operate its fleet of rigs. Diesel fuel prices are subject to fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as weather, government policies, changes in global demand, and global production. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, the Company periodically follows a policy of hedging a portion of its anticipated diesel fuel consumption. The instruments used are principally readily marketable exchange traded futures contracts that are designated as hedges. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to the price changes of diesel fuel. Gains and losses resulting from fuel hedging transactions are recognized when the underlying fuel being hedged is used. In addition, the Company has contractual agreements with certain customers that provide for fuel surcharges that mitigate the exposure to risk associated with fuel price increases. A 10% increase in diesel fuel prices would reduce pre-tax income by $4.7 million over the next fiscal year.

			Foreign Currency Exchange Rates – Although the majority of the Company’s operations are in the United States, the Company does have foreign subsidiaries (primarily Canada). The net investments in foreign subsidiaries translated into dollars using exchange rates at September 30, 2001, are $97.3 million. The potential loss in fair value impacting other comprehensive income resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates amounts to $9.7 million. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

			Seasonality and Inflation

			The Company’s revenues are seasonal, with the second and fourth quarters generally experiencing higher revenues than the first and third quarters. The volume of vehicles shipped during the second and fourth quarters is generally higher due to the introduction of new models which are shipped to dealers during those periods and the higher spring and early summer sales of automobiles and light trucks. During the first and third quarters, vehicle shipments typically decline due to lower sales volume during those periods and scheduled plant shut downs. Inflation has not significantly affected the Company’s results of operations.
