NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JUNE 30, 2002
NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and the footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
NOTE B: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- ------------------------------------------
On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities," issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1998.
Statement No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring the recording of each derivative instrument in the balance sheet as
either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Changes in the derivative
instrument's fair value must be recognized currently in earnings unless specific
hedge accounting criteria are met. For hedges which meet the criteria, the
derivative instrument's gains and losses, to the extent effective, may be
recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) rather than current
earnings.
The Company had no transition adjustment as a result of adopting SFAS 133 on
January 1, 2001 as the Company's only derivative instruments were entered into
after January 1, 2001. Effective February 28, 2001 the Company entered into an
interest rate swap agreement on a notional amount of $15,000,000. The pay fixed
rate under the swap is 5.08%, while the receive floating rate is "1-month"
LIBOR. This interest rate swap agreement terminates on March 2, 2006. Effective
May 31, 2001 the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on a
notional amount of $5,000,000. The pay fixed rate under the swap is 4.83%, while
the receive floating rate is "1-month" LIBOR. This interest rate swap agreement
terminates on June 2, 2006.
The Company designates both of these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges
of its exposure to variability in future cash flows resulting from interest
payments indexed to "1-month" LIBOR. Changes in future cash flows from the
interest rate swaps will offset changes in interest rate payments on the first
$20,000,000 of the Company's current revolving credit facility or future
"1-month" LIBOR based borrowings that reset on the second London Business Day
prior to the start of the next interest period. The hedge locks the interest
rate at 5.08% or 4.83% plus the pricing spread (currently 1.15%) for the
notional amounts of $15,000,000 and $5,000,000, respectively.
These interest rate swap agreements meet the specific hedge accounting criteria.
The effective portion of the cumulative gain or loss has been reported as a
component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in shareholders' equity and
will be reclassified into current earnings by June 2, 2006, the latest
termination date for all current swap agreements. The Company records all
derivatives at fair value as assets or liabilities in the condensed consolidated
balance sheet, with classification as current or long-term depending on the
duration of the instrument. At June 30, 2002, the net deferred hedging loss in
accumulated other comprehensive loss was approximately $567,000.
The measurement of hedge effectiveness is based upon a comparison of the
floating-rate leg of the swap and the hedged floating-rate cash flows on the
underlying liability. This method is based upon the premise that only the
floating-rate component of the swap provides the cash flow hedge, and any
changes in the swap's fair value attributable to the fixed-rate leg is not
relevant to the variability of the hedged interest payments on the floating-rate
liability. The calculation of ineffectiveness involves a comparison of the
present value of the cumulative change in the expected future cash flows on the
variable leg of the swap and the present value of the cumulative change in the
expected future interest cash flows on the floating-rate liability.
NOTE C: COMMON STOCK OFFERING
- -------------------------------
During March 2002, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $43.9
million from a public offering of 2,100,000 shares of its common stock. The
Company has repaid certain long-term debt obligations and intends to use the
remaining proceeds to fund its capital expenditures and to finance general
working capital needs.
During April 2002, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $10.9
million from the sale of an additional 521,250 shares of its common stock in
order to cover broker over-allotments. The Company intends to use the proceeds
to fund its capital expenditures and to finance general working capital needs.
NOTE D: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141,
"Business Combinations," and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," and announced the approval for issuance of SFAS No. 143, "Accounting
for Asset Retirement Obligations."
SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations completed after June 30, 2001,
to be accounted for under the purchase method. This standard also establishes
for all business combinations made after June 30, 2001, specific criteria for
the recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill. SFAS No. 141 also
requires that the excess of the fair value of acquired assets over cost
(negative goodwill) be recognized immediately as an extraordinary gain, rather
than deferred and amortized. The Company will account for all future business
combinations under SFAS No. 141.
SFAS No. 142 addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets
after an acquisition. Goodwill and other intangibles that have indefinite lives
will no longer be amortized, but will be subject to annual impairment tests. All
other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their estimated
useful lives. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life should be
tested for impairment in accordance with guidance in SFAS No. 142 which applies
a fair-value-based test. SFAS No. 142 is required to be applied in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company ceased amortization of all
indefinite life intangibles upon adoption of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1,
2002. Approximately $8.1 million in net book value remains recorded for goodwill
at June 30, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. A
reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the
amounts adjusted for the exclusion of goodwill amortization net of related
income tax effect follows:

SFAS No. 143 provides accounting requirements for retirement obligations
associated with tangible long-lived assets, including: (i) the timing of
liability recognition; (ii) initial measurement of the liability; (iii)
allocation of asset retirement cost to expense; (iv) subsequent measurement of
the liability; and (v) financial statement disclosures. SFAS No. 143 requires
that an asset retirement cost should be capitalized as part of the cost of the
related long-lived asset and subsequently allocated to expense using a
systematic and rational method. This standard becomes effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company will adopt the Statement effective
January 1, 2003. At this time, the Company has not yet determined what impact,
if any, the adoption of this Statement will have on either its financial
position or results of operations.
In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement
supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of", and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB
Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of
Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently
Occurring Events and Transactions", for the disposal of a segment of a business.
This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements", to
eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is
likely to be temporary. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002 and
there was not a material impact on the Company's financial position or results
of operations.
In May 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and
64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections" as of April 2002. SFAS
No. 145, rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of
Debt", and SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund
Requirements". Under the provisions of SFAS No. 145, gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt can only be classified as extraordinary items if they
meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30. The provisions of this Statement
related to the rescission of SFAS No. 4 shall be applied in fiscal years
beginning after May 15, 2002. Earlier application is permitted. This statement
also amends SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency
between the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and certain lease
modifications that have economic effects that are similar and is effective for
transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. This Statement also amends other
existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections,
clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions and
are effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. At this
time, the Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of
this Statement will have on either its financial position or results of
operations.
In July of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS No. 146 replaces EITF No. 94-3
"Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs
to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)". SFAS
No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal
activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an
exit or disposal plan as was required by EITF No. 94-3. Examples of costs
covered by SFAS No. 146 include lease termination costs and certain employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued
operation, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activity. SFAS No. 146 is to
be applied to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. At
this time, the Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption
of this Statement will have on either its financial position or results of
operations.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VS. THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the quarter ended June 30, 2002, revenues increased 23.3% to $70.8 million
as compared to $57.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase
was due to improved utilization of existing revenue equipment and an increase in
the average number of tractors from 1,554 in the second quarter of 2001 to 1,769
in the second quarter of 2002. Improved utilization of existing revenue
equipment resulted in a 6.5% increase in average revenue generated per tractor
each work day from $588 in the second quarter of 2001 to $626 in the second
quarter of 2002.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 43.7% of revenues in the second
quarter of 2001 to 45.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 2002. The increase
relates to an increase in the number of employees and an increase in amounts
accrued for employee bonus plans.
Operating supplies and expenses decreased from 20.1% of revenues in the second
quarter of 2001 to 18.4% of revenues in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease
relates primarily to a decrease in fuel costs of 1.1%, net of a fuel surcharge
passed on to customers.
Depreciation and amortization decreased from 8.8% of revenues in the second
quarter of 2001 to 8.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease
was due to the elimination of goodwill amortization as required by recently
adopted accounting standards and an increase in utilization of existing revenue
equipment.
Other expenses decreased from 1.7% of revenues in the second quarter of 2001 to
1.2% of revenues in the second quarter of 2002. The decrease is related to the
expiration of non-compete agreements with certain employees of a previously
acquired company.
The Company's operating ratio decreased to 87.6% for the second quarter of 2002
from 89.6% for the second quarter of 2001, as a result of the factors described
above.
The Company's effective tax rate increased from 39.9% in the second quarter of
2001 to 40.0% in the second quarter of 2002, which, combined with increased
revenues, resulted in an increase in the provision for income taxes from $1.9
million for the second quarter of 2001 to $3.4 million for the second quarter of
2002.
Net income increased to $5.0 million, or 7.1% of revenues, in the second quarter
of 2002 from $2.9 million, or 5.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 2001,
representing an increase in diluted net income per share to $.45 in the second
quarter of 2002 from $.34 in the second quarter of 2001.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 VS. SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, revenues increased 15.8% to $134.2
million as compared to $115.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
The increase was due to improved utilization of existing revenue equipment and
an increase in the average number of tractors from 1,511 for the first six
months of 2001 to 1,724 in the first six months of 2002. Improved utilization of
existing revenue equipment resulted in a 3.1% increase in average revenue
generated per tractor each work day from $599 in the first six months of 2001 to
$618 in the first six months 2002.
Salaries, wages and benefits increased from 43.9% of revenues in the first six
months of 2001 to 44.7% of revenues in first six months of 2002. The increase
relates to an increase in the number of employees and an increase in amounts
accrued for employee bonus plans.
Operating supplies and expenses decreased from 19.2% of revenues in the first
six months of 2001 to 18.7% of revenues in the first six months of 2002. The
decrease relates primarily to a decrease in fuel costs of .3%, net of a fuel
surcharge passed on to customers.
Rent and purchased transportation decreased from 5.5% of revenues in the first
six months of 2001 to 4.2% of revenues in the first six months of 2002. The
decrease relates primarily to a decrease in amounts paid to other transportation
companies in the form of brokerage fees.
Insurance and claims increased from 4.4% of revenues in the first six months
2002 to 5.2% of revenues in the first six months of 2002. The increase relates
to increased premiums associated with the annual renewal of insurance policies.
Other expenses decreased from 2.4% of revenues in the first six months of 2001
to 1.2% of revenues in the first six months of 2002. The decrease is due to the
absence of an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts in the first six
months of 2002 as compared to the first six months of 2001.
The Company's operating ratio decreased to 88.3% for the first six months of
2001 from 90.1% for the first six months of 2001, as a result of the factors
described above.
The Company's effective tax rate increased from 39.9% in the first six months of
2001 to 40.0% in the first six months of 2002, which, combined with increased
revenues, resulted in an increase in the provision for income taxes from $3.7
million for the first six months of 2001 to $5.8 million for the first six
months of 2002.
Net income increased to $8.6 million, or 6.4% of revenues, in the first six
months of 2002 from $5.5 million, or 4.8% of revenues in the first six months of
2001, representing an increase in diluted net income per share to $.85 in the
first six months of 2002 from $.65 in the first six months of 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- ----------------------------------
During the first six months of 2002, the Company generated $19.7 million in cash
from operating activities. Investing activities used $22.8 million in cash in
the first six months of 2002. Financing activities generated $14.7 million in
the first six months of 2002, primarily from the issuance of common stock.
Accounts receivable at June 30, 2002 increased approximately $20.5 million from
December 31, 2001. The increase relates primarily to new trade terms between the
Company and its largest customer which have the effect of extending the
collection of the receivable to the next accounting period.
During March and April 2002, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$54.8 million from a public offering of 2,621,250 shares of its common stock.
The Company has repaid certain long-term debt obligations and intends to use the
remaining proceeds to fund its capital expenditures and to finance general
working capital needs. For additional information see Note C to the condensed
consolidated financial statements.
The Company's principal subsidiary, P.A.M. Transport, Inc., maintains two $20.0
million lines of credit (Line A and Line B) with separate financial
institutions. Amounts outstanding under Line A bear interest at LIBOR (on the
first day of the month) plus 1.40%, are secured by accounts receivable and
mature on May 31, 2003. At June 30, 2002, the entire outstanding balance of $2.7
million on Line A was comprised of letters of credit, with availability to
borrow $17.3 million. Amounts outstanding under Line B bear interest at LIBOR
(on the last day of the previous month) plus 1.15%, are secured by revenue
equipment and mature on November 30, 2003. At June 30, 2002, Line B was fully
utilized with $20.0 million outstanding.
In addition to cash flows from operations, the Company uses its existing lines
of credit on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay
long-term debt. Longer-term transactions, such as installment notes (generally
three to five 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 2002 at a cost of approximately $4.6
million using its existing lines of credit. During the remainder of 2002, the
Company plans to replace 200 tractors and 121 trailers, and plans to add 100
additional trailers, which would result in net capital expenditures of
approximately $12.7 million. Management expects that the Company's existing
working capital and its available lines of credit will be sufficient to meet the
Company's present capital commitments, to repay indebtedness coming due in the
current year, and to fund its operating needs during the remainder of fiscal
2002.
During February 2001 and May 2001 the Company entered into separate interest
rate swap agreements on notional amounts of $15,000,000 and $5,000,000,
respectively. The pay fixed rate under the swaps are 5.08% and 4.83%,
respectively, while the receive floating rate is "1-month" LIBOR. The
$15,000,000 swap agreement terminates on March 2, 2006 while the $5,000,000 swap
agreement terminates on June 2, 2006. For additional information with respect to
the interest rate swap agreements, see Note B to the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
- -----------------------------
See Note D to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description
of the most recent accounting pronouncements and their impact, if any, on the
Company.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's primary market risk exposures include commodity price risk (the
price paid to obtain diesel fuel for our tractors) and interest rate risk. The
potential adverse impact of these risks and the general strategies the Company
employs to manage such risks are discussed below.
The following sensitivity analyses do not consider the effects that an adverse
change may have on the overall economy nor do they consider additional actions
the Company may take to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results of
changes in prices or rates may differ materially from the hypothetical results
described below.
Commodity Price Risk
Prices and availability of all petroleum products are subject to political,
economic and market factors that are generally outside of the Company's control.
Accordingly, the price and availability of diesel fuel, as well as other
petroleum products, can be unpredictable. Because the Company's operations are
dependent upon diesel fuel, significant increases in diesel fuel costs could
materially and adversely affect the Company's results of operations and
financial condition. Based upon the Company's 2001 fuel consumption, a 10%
increase in the average annual price per gallon of diesel fuel would increase
the Company's annual fuel expenses by $3.2 million.
In August 2000 and July 2001, the Company entered into agreements to obtain
price protection and reduce a portion of the Company's exposure to fuel price
fluctuations. Under these agreements, the Company was obligated to purchase
minimum amounts of diesel fuel per month, with a price protection component, for
the six month periods ended March 31, 2001 and February 28, 2002. The
agreements also provide that if during the 48 months commencing April 2001, the
price of heating oil on the New York Mercantile Exchange ("NY MX HO") falls
below $.58 per gallon, the Company is obligated to pay, for a maximum of twelve
different months selected by the contract holder during such 48-month period,
the difference between $.58 per gallon and NY MX HO average price, multiplied by
900,000 gallons. Accordingly, in any month in which the holder exercises such
right, the Company would be obligated to pay the holder $9,000 for each cent by
which $.58 exceeds the average NY MX HO price for that month. For example, the
NY MX HO average price during February 2002 was approximately $.54, and if the
holder were to exercise its payment right, the Company would be obligated to pay
the holder approximately $36,000. In addition, if during any month in the
twelve-month period commencing January 2005, the average NY MX HO is below $.58
per gallon, the Company will be obligated to pay the contract holder the
difference between $.58 and the average NY MX HO price for such month,
multiplied by 1,000,000 gallons.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company's two $20.0 million lines of credit each bear interest at a floating
rate equal to LIBOR plus a fixed percentage. Accordingly, changes in LIBOR,
which are effected by changes in interest rates generally, will affect the
interest rate on, and therefore the Company's costs under, the lines of credit.
In an effort to manage the risks associated with changing interest rates, the
Company entered into interest rate swap agreements effective February 28, 2001
and May 31, 2001, on notional amounts of $15,000,000 and $5,000,000,
respectively. The "pay fixed rates" under the $15,000,000 and $5,000,000 swap
agreements are 5.08% and 4.83%, respectively. The "receive floating rate" for
both swap agreements is "1-month" LIBOR. These interest rate swap agreements
terminate on March 2, 2006 and June 2, 2006, respectively.
