TRAILER BRIDGE, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2005

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the
periods shown. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and
footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of
operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. For further information, refer to the Company's audited financial
statements for the three years ended December 31, 2004 that appear in the Form
10-K.

Stock-Based Compensation - In accordance with SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), the Company has elected to continue
to account for its employee stock compensation plans under Accounting Principles
Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, with pro forma disclosures of net earnings and
earnings per share, as if the fair value based method of accounting defined in
SFAS No. 123 had been applied. Under the intrinsic value based method,
compensation cost is the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock
at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount an employee must pay
to acquire the stock. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is
measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized
over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

Pursuant to the above disclosure requirement, the following table provides an
expanded reconciliation for all periods presented that adds back to the reported
net income (loss) the recorded expense under APB 25, net of related income tax
effects, deducts the total fair value expense under SFAS 123, net of related
income tax effects and shows the reported and pro forma earnings per share
amounts.

During the three months ended March 31, 2005 1,513 options were exercised. There
were no options issued during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Earnings per share - options to purchase 486,054 shares of the Company's common
stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because
they were out of the money during the three-month period ending March 31, 2005.

New Accounting Standards - In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 123 (revised 2004), "Shared-Based
Payment." Statement 123(R) addresses the accounting for share-based payment
transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for
(a) equity instruments of the enterprise or (b) liabilities that are based on
the fair value of the enterprise's equity instruments or that may be settled by
the issuance of such equity instruments. Statement 123(R) requires an entity to
recognize the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based
compensation issued to employees in the income statement. The revised Statement
generally requires that an entity account for those transactions using the


6


fair-value-based method, and eliminates the intrinsic value method of accounting
in APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", which was
permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued. As a result of this
accounting pronouncement, we anticipate that the adoption of this standard may
have a material impact on our Financial Statements. The Company is currently in
the process of evaluating the impact of adopting of SFAS 123(R) on the Company's
financial position, liquidity or results of operations. The effective date of
this standard is the first annual period after January 1, 2006.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Company produces revenue by the movement of freight by water to and from
Puerto Rico from the continental United States through its terminal facility in
Jacksonville, Florida. The Company also generates revenue from the movement of
freight within the continental United States by truck when such movement
complements its core business of moving freight to and from Puerto Rico. The
Company's operating expenses consist of the cost of the equipment, labor,
facilities, fuel and administrative support necessary to move freight to and
from Puerto Rico and within the continental United States.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2004
- ----

The Puerto Rico lane in which the Company operates had been subjected to
overcapacity and intense competition over the five years prior to 2003. As a
result of the reduction of vessel capacity in the trade lane in 2002, the Puerto
Rico lane stabilized and competition became less intense during 2003 and has
continued to abate in 2004 and 2005. The Company increased utilization of its
vessels during 2003. The Company's utilization has been maintained over the last
twenty-seven months while rates within the Puerto Rico lane have increased.

The following table sets forth the indicated items as a percentage of net
revenues for three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

================ ================


The Company's operating ratio (operating expense stated as a percentage of
operating revenues) improved from 95.5% during the three months ended March 31,
2004 to 85.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2005. The improvement
in operating income and the resulting improved operating ratio are primarily
due to significant reductions in rent expense on vessels and equipment,
partially offset by the related increase in depreciation expense. Both of
which were the result of assets purchased in the transaction completed in
December 2004 with the proceeds of the $85 million note offering.

Revenues

The following table sets forth by percentage and dollar, the changes in the
Company's revenue by sailing route and freight carried:

Volume & Revenue Changes 2005 compared to 2004


Overall Southbound Northbound
---------------- ----------------- ----------------

Volume Percent Change:
Core container & trailer -5.4% 0.4% -22.3%
Auto and other cargos -12.2% -1.3% -71.2%
SOLs -36.1% -35.2% -50.0%

Revenue Change ($millions):
Core container & trailer $ 0.7 $ 1.0 $ (0.3)
Auto and other cargos (0.6) (0.3) (0.3)
SOLs (0.1) (0.1) (0.0)
Other Revenues 1.5
----------------
Total Revenue Change $ 1.5


Vessel capacity utilization on the core continental U.S. to Puerto Rico traffic
lane was 92.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to 91.8% for
the three months ended March 31, 2004. Southbound volume showed a small increase
in core container and trailer volume and decreases in auto and other cargo, as
well as, SOL volume in the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the same period
the year earlier. Auto and other cargo northbound showed a significant decrease
in volume in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the year earlier period due
to a significant drop in military movement in 2005.

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $24.4 million, compared to
$22.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in revenue
was primarily due to increased freight rates and increased accessorial charges.
The Company's fuel surcharge is included in the Company's revenues and amounted
to $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1.2
million in the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase in the fuel
surcharges results from increases in the contractual customer obligations. The
Company's demurrage is included in the Company's revenues and amounted to $0.6
million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $0.8 million in
the three months ended March 31, 2004. Demurrage is a charge assessed for
failure to return empty freight equipment on time. This decrease in demurrage
relates to customers returning the containers on a more timely basis. The
Company's charterhire is included in the Company's revenues and amounted to $0.5
million during the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $0.2 millions
charterhire in the three months ended March 31, 2004. Charterhire is rental
revenue for vessels not in use in liner service.

Operating Expenses

Salaries, wages and benefits increased by $0.3 million or 8.26% due primarily to
increases in incentive based compensation partially offset by lower driver
payroll. Purchased transportation related party decreased $1.8 million or 100%
primarily due to the purchase of the RO/RO barges through the use of a portion
the proceeds the senior secured notes. Purchased transportation other decreased
$.4 million or 6.83% due to exercising lease purchase options in 2004 through
the use of a portion of the proceeds of the senior secured notes. Fuel increased
by $.5 million or 21.84% due to increases in crude oil prices on the world
market during the period. Operating and Maintenance expenses increased by $.3
million or 5.51% due to higher stevedoring costs. Insurance and claims decreased
by $.1 million or 17.04% due to audit related credits in 2005. Depreciation and
Amortization increased by $.2 million or 28.75% due to purchase of property,
plant and equipment, including the Ro/Ro barges and revenue equipment purchased
with the proceeds of the senior secured notes issued December 2004. As a result,
the Company's operating ratio improved to 85.5% during the three months ended
March 31, 2005 from 95.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2004.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense of $2,577,477 was up 274.7% from the year earlier period
due to the issuance of the senior secured notes that funded the purchase of the
previously leased vessels and equipment.

PREFERRED STOCK ACCRETION AND UNDECLARED DIVIDENDS

As a result of the preferred stock redemption in December 2004, the Company is
no longer required to accrete the discount in accordance with Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 68 "Increasing Rate Preferred Stock" and is no longer obligated to
record the undeclared dividends resulting from the contractual dividend rates.

8


DEFERRED TAXES

Management is continuously evaluating the deferred tax valuation allowance, to
determine what portion of the deferred tax asset, if any, may be realized in the
future. Management's evaluation includes, among other things, such factors as a
history of profitability, a substantial history of operations upon which to base
a forecast and a history of accurately forecasting future results of operations.

As a result of the factors described above, the Company reported a net income of
$1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $0.4 million
in the same period in 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operations was $4.2 million in the first three months of
2005 compared to net cash provided by operations of $.9 million in 2004. This
represented an improvement of $3.3 million primarily from a decrease in trade
receivables by $1.7 million resulting from better collection efforts, which was
offset by $1.2 million decrease in accounts payable between periods due to
larger cash availability due to the working capital provided by the senior
secured notes. Net cash used by investing activities was $.2 million in the
first three months of 2005 compared to negligible net cash provided by investing
activities in 2004. The change is due primarily to payments made for
improvements to revenue equipment. Net cash used in financing activities was $.9
million in the first three months of 2005 compared to net cash used in financing
activities of $.3 million in 2004 representing a change of $.6 million primarily
the result of a decrease in borrowing from the Company's line of credit in 2005
due to the improvement in the Company's cash position between periods resulting
from the increased profitability and available cash from the issuance of the
December 2005 Senior Secured Notes. At March 31, 2005, cash amounted to
approximately $9.3 million, working capital was a positive $11.5 million, and
the capital deficit was $6.1 million.

The Company existing revolving credit facility is subject to a borrowing base
formula (approximately $8.0 million at March 31, 2005) based on a percentage of
eligible accounts receivable. At March 31, 2005 there were no advances drawn on
this credit facility.

As of March 31, 2005 $2.3 million of related party debt is outstanding. This
debt arose from deferred charterhire payments to K Corp., has an interest rate
of 8.03% and is payable in 36 equal monthly installments beginning in January
2005. The receivable was assigned to the Estate of Malcom P. McLean prior to the
Company acquisition of K Corp. The Company's principal payments during the
period totaled $.2 million.

The default provisions of the Title XI covenants provide that, in the event of
default of the covenants, the Company is restricted from conducting certain
financial activities without obtaining the written permission of the Secretary
of Transportation of the United States (the "Secretary"). As of March 31, 2005,
the Company was restricted from performing certain financial activities due to
it not being in compliance with Title XI debt covenants. The Company may not
take, without prior written approval, any of the following actions: (1) acquire
any fixed assets other than those required for the normal maintenance of our
existing assets; (2) enter into or become liable under certain charters and
leases (having a term of six months or more); (3) pay any debt subordinated to
the Title XI Bonds; (4) incur any debt, except current liabilities or short term
loans incurred in the ordinary course of business; (5) make investments in any
person, other than obligations of U.S. government, bank deposits or investments
in securities of the character permitted for money in the reserve fund; or (6)
create any lien on any of our assets, other than pursuant to loans guaranteed by
the Secretary of Transportation of the United States under Title XI and liens
incurred in ordinary course of business. However, none of the foregoing
covenants will apply if the Company meets certain financial tests provided for
in the agreement. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had not performed any such
restricted financial activities and therefore, the Company was in compliance
with such restrictions. Therefore, the debt was not in default, and the lender
did not have the right to call the debt.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company believes that there have been no significant changes to its critical
accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2005, as compared to
those the Company disclosed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Resources" contains statements that may be considered as forward-looking or
