FROZEN FOOD EXPRESS INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2002 and 2001
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
---------------------
These consolidated financial statements include Frozen Food Express Industries,
Inc. (FFEX) and its subsidiary companies, all of which are wholly- owned. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consisted only of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position
and results of operations have been made. Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations,
certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, have been condensed or omitted from these statements
unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent
fiscal year. We believe that the disclosures contained herein, when read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes included, or incorporated by
reference, in our Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 9, 2002, are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested, therefore, that
these statements be read in conjunction with the statements and notes (included,
or incorporated by reference), in our report on Form 10-K.
2. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
--------------------
As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively, there were 16,699,000
and 16,573,000 shares of our common stock outstanding.
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
-----------------------------
We have accrued for costs related to liability, cargo and work-related injury
claims which had occurred prior to the date of the financial statements. Some
of these involve litigation. The aggregate amount of these claims is
significant. In the opinion of management, these actions can be successfully
defended or resolved, and any additional costs incurred over amounts accrued
will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows
or results of operations.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
------------------
Common stock equivalents included in diluted weighted average shares, all of
which result from dilutive stock options were as follows:
2002 2001
------- ------
For the three months ended June 30 242,000 15,000
For the six months ended June 30 - -
5. OPERATING SEGMENTS
------------------
Our operations consist of two reportable segments. The freight segment is
engaged primarily in the motor carrier freight transportation business. The
smaller segment is primarily engaged in non-freight business relating to the
sale and service of refrigeration equipment and of trailers used in freight
transportation.
Following is information for each reportable segment for the three and six-
month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 (in millions):

by the freight segment.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
------------------------
In July 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 142
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (FAS 142). Under this pronouncement,
which we adopted as of January 1, 2002, goodwill and intangible assets with
indefinite lives are not amortized but are to be reviewed at least annually
for impairment. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have
indefinite lives will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
The impact of adopting FAS 142 on our consolidated financial statements was
not significant because the amount of goodwill and other intangible assets in
our financial statements is minimal. We did not experience a significant
impact from the adoption of FAS 142.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
----------------
After the end of 2002's second quarter, one of our trucks was involved in a
major accident. The accident resulted in significant injuries to several
occupants of the other vehicle. At this time, it is not possible to determine
the extent, if any, to which our driver was responsible for the accident, nor
is it possible to reliably estimate what amount of money damages, if any, may
result from this event. We will continue to investigate this event and as more
information becomes available in the future, we will be better able to
determine what amount to accrue as a contingent liability reserve relative to
this potential claim. We do not presently expect the amount of any such
reserve to approach the deductibles under our liability insurance policies.
However, any such reserve could negatively impact 2002 operating results.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following table sets forth, as a percentage of freight revenue, certain
major operating expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001.

==== ==== ==== =====
Second Quarter of 2002 vs. 2001
During the second quarter of 2002, our freight revenue decreased by $217,000
as compared to the second quarter of 2001 to $84.4 million. Non-freight
revenue aggregated 4.7% and 14.8% of total revenue during the second quarter
of 2002 and 2001, respectively.
During December of 2001, we sold the largest component of our non-freight
operation. See "First Six Months of 2002 vs. 2001".
Excluding the impact of reduced fuel adjustment revenue during the second
quarter of 2002, freight revenue improved by $1.2 million. Full truckload
revenue rose by $1.3 million between the second quarters of 2001 and 2002, on
a 4.3% increase in the number of full truckload shipments we transported.
Also excluding the impact of reduced fuel adjustment charges, revenue from our
less-than-truckload (LTL) activities did not appreciably change between the
second quarters of 2001 and 2002. During 2001, and through the first quarter
of 2002, the number of LTL shipments we transported fell significantly from
comparable prior-year levels. During the second quarter of 2002, we actually
hauled 1.3% more LTL shipments than during the second quarter of 2001, but the
average weight of those shipments was 1.1% less than it was last year.
We are starting to see some diminished pressure on our freight rates which has
negatively impacted our results during recent years. As market conditions
permit, during the last half of 2002, we intend to increase certain of our
freight rates.
The number of tractors in our fleet of company-operated, full-truckload
equipment increased from approximately 1,300 at the beginning of 2002 to about
1,350 by the end of the second quarter of 2002. As of June 30, 2001 we had
approximately 1,250 such trucks. The number of full-truckload tractors
provided to us by owner-operators declined in 2002 by 10 to about 500. As of
June 30, 2001, there were approximately 575 tractors in our owner-operator-
provided full-truckload fleets. The increased number of company-operated full-
truckload tractors resulted from an increase in the level of our dedicated
fleet operations.
Full-truckload activities, which contributed about 73% of freight revenue
during both the second quarters of 2002 and 2001, are conducted primarily with
company-operated equipment, while LTL activities are conducted primarily with
equipment provided by owner-operators. Changes in the mix of LTL versus full-
truckload revenue as well as fluctuations in the amount of total freight
handled on company-operated versus owner-operator provided equipment, impact
the percent of freight revenue absorbed by the various categories of operating
expenses between the two quarters.
During the second quarter of 2002, the percent of freight revenue absorbed by
salaries, wages and related expense was 27.9%, as compared to 26.2% during the
year-ago quarter. Total salaries and wages rose by 6.1%, but payroll expenses
related to drivers, which represent more than half of our payroll did not
change appreciably between the quarters. Of the $1.3 million increase in
salaries, wages and related expense, about 45% was related to increased
payroll for non-driver employees and the balance was due to increases in other
costs associated with employment, such as health insurance and the incidence
of work related injuries.
Supplies and expenses fell by $2.0 million between the second quarters of 2001
and 2002. About 60% of this decrease was related to the cost of fuel consumed
by our company-operated fleet. Per-gallon costs we paid for fuel decreased by
12% during the second quarter of 2002 as compared to 2001. Sudden and
dramatic fuel price volatility enhances or diminishes our profitability. We
have in place a number of strategies designed to address such volatility.
Owner-operators are responsible for all costs associated with their equipment,
including fuel. Therefore, the cost of such fuel is not a direct expense of
ours. With regard to fuel expenses for company-operated equipment, we attempt
to mitigate the impact of fluctuating fuel costs by purchasing more fuel-
efficient tractors and aggressively managing fuel purchasing.
The total of depreciation and revenue equipment rent expense rose from 11.2%
of freight revenue for the second quarter of 2001 to 12.2% for the comparable
2002 quarter. This change resulted primarily from the increased use of
company operated trucks in our refrigerated full-truckload operations.
Claims and insurance expense fell from 5.6% of freight revenue during the
second quarter of 2001, to 3.8% for 2002. This resulted from a variety of
factors, including but not limited to changes in the frequency of physical
damage losses and liability claims. However, after the end of 2002's second
quarter, one of our trucks was involved in a major accident. The accident
resulted in significant injuries to several occupants of the other vehicle. At
this time, it is not possible to determine the extent, if any, to which our
driver was responsible for the accident, nor is it possible to reliably
estimate what amount of money damages, if any, may result from this event. We
will continue to investigate this event and as more information becomes
available in the future, we will be better able to determine what amount to
accrue as a contingent liability reserve relative to this potential claim. We
do not presently expect the amount of any such reserve to approach the
deductibles under our liability insurance policies. However, any such reserve
could negatively impact 2002 operating results.
Our income from operations was $836,000 during the second quarter of 2002 as
compared to $856,000 in the second quarter of 2001.
Interest and other expense, net fell from $429,000 to $182,000 between the two
quarters. Decreased interest costs associated with lower levels of borrowed
funds was the principal factor affecting this decrease.
We earned pre-tax income of $654,000 during the second quarter of 2002 as
compared to $427,000 during the comparable 2001 period.
Our effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 was 53.7%, as
compared to 41.9% during last year's second quarter. Under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, if we can reliably estimate
our expectations of full year pre-tax and taxable income, we are obligated to
record our interim period income tax expense based on that full year estimate.
Because we are at this time unable to reliably predict our full year pre-tax
and taxable income (or loss), we have computed our year-to-date income tax
expense based on our year-to-date pre-tax and taxable income.
First Six Months of 2002 vs. 2001
Items not specifically discussed with regard to the six-month period
fluctuated on a year-to-date basis in a manner and for reasons similar to
those outlined in the above discussion regarding the three-month period.
Excluding the decreased impact of fuel adjustment charges, for the first six
months of 2002, revenue from our full-truckload operations rose by $3.3
million, or 2.9%, while revenue from our LTL operations declined by $0.5
million, or 1.3%. Excluding the impact of fuel adjustment charges, freight
revenue increased by $2.8 million, or 1.8%.
In December 2001, we sold the largest component of our non-freight operations.
The business we sold is a dealership engaged in the sale and service of
refrigeration equipment and of trailers used in freight transportation.
Products offered included trailers manufactured by Wabash and mobile trailer
refrigeration machinery manufactured by Carrier Transicold. Because revenue
and expenses from the dealership were present in our financial statements
during 2001, but not in 2002, our non-freight revenue declined by $20.1
million this year, however, our non-freight expense fell by only $19.8
million. For the fist half of 2002, the operating loss from our non-freight
activities rose by $346,000 as compared to the first half of 2001. This
partially offset the $474,000 increment in operating income from our freight
activities.
With regard to our freight business, our full-truckload operations have
continued to expand during 2002. Our LTL operation has continued to contract,
but LTL revenue has declined at a slower pace than was the case during 2001.
Increased competition from logistics outsourcing and freight consolidators has
negatively impacted our penetration of the market for refrigerated LTL
services. Slow or negative growth in the demand for such services, together
with the increased presence of competitors capable of arranging such services
resulted in a 12.6% decrease in the number of LTL shipments we transported
during the first six months of last year. During the first six months of
2002, the number of such shipments was only down 0.5% from 2001. While LTL
operations offer the opportunity to earn higher revenue on a per-mile and per-
hundredweight basis than do full-truckload operations, the level of investment
and fixed costs associated with LTL activities significantly exceed those of
full-truckload activities. Accordingly, as LTL revenue fluctuates, many costs
remain fixed, leveraging the impact from such revenue fluctuations on
operating income. In recent years, as LTL activity and revenue declined, many
LTL-related costs have remained static. In order to address this challenge,
we are exploring and are implementing a number of strategies designed to
reduce the level of fixed costs associated with our LTL operations.
Because we carry large deductibles for personal injury claims, insurance
premiums are not a primary determinant of claims and insurance expense.
Individual events which result in our exposure for significant liability for
personal injury occur infrequently. Because of this irregular timing of
larger claims, our claims and insurance expense will demonstrate significant
volatility over time. Accordingly, during 2001, 61% of our June 30 year-to-
date claims and insurance expense was incurred during the second quarter as
compared to 47% during 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary needs for capital resources are to finance working capital,
capital expenditures and, from time to time, acquisitions. Working capital
investment typically increases during periods of sales expansion when higher
levels of receivables and, with regard to non-freight operations, inventory
are present. In May of 2002, we entered into a new $40 million 3-year credit
facility with Comerica Bank-Texas and LaSalle Bank. The new credit agreement
is initially secured by our accounts receivable. To the extent that our
receivables do not support our borrowing needs, we may, subject to the $40
million limit, pledge a portion of our tractors or trailers to support
additional borrowing. Like the agreement it replaced, the new agreement limits
capital expenditures, our ability to pay dividends and the amount of fixed
charges and debt we may incur .At June 30, 2002, we had long-term debt of $5.4
million as of June 30, 2002. The unused portion of the company's $40 million
revolving credit facility was approximately $29 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating
activities was $0.5 million as compared to $3.2 million in 2001. This was due
primarily to accounts receivable and inventories having increased at a more
rapid rate than last year.
We believe that our current cash position, funds from operations, and the
availability of funds under our credit agreement will be sufficient to meet
anticipated liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. At June 30,
2002, working capital was $27.4 million as compared to $25.1 million at
December 31, 2001.
OUTLOOK
Statements contained herein which are not historical facts are forward-looking
statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act ("PSLRA") of 1995. Certain statements contained herein including
statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business
or the industry in which we operate, our intent, plans, belief or current
expectations of the company, our directors or our officers, primarily with
respect to the future operating performance or our financial position and
other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical
facts, are "forward-looking" statements (as such term is defined in PSLRA).
Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may
differ materially from those expressed or implied from such forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include competition, weather
conditions and the general economy; the availability and cost of labor;
interest rates and the company's ability to negotiate favorably with lenders
and lessors; the availability and cost of new equipment, fuel and supplies;
the market for previously-owned equipment; the impact of changes in the tax
and regulatory environment in which we operate, operational risks, insurance
and risks associated with the technologies and systems we use.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As of June 30, 2002, debt stood at $5.4 million, which approximated fair
market value. We sponsor a Rabbi Trust for the benefit of participants in a
supplemental executive retirement plan. As of June 30, 2002, the trust had
about 119,000 shares of our stock. To the extent that trust assets are
invested in our stock, our future pre-tax income will reflect changes in the
market value of our stock.
We own life insurance policies that have cash surrender value. The investment
returns earned by the insurance company serve to pay insurance costs and
increase cash surrender value, which is a key determinant of the amount that
we could receive pursuant to the policy as of the date of our financial
statements. Accordingly, changes in the market value of and returns from
those investments could impact the value of our life insurance policies.
We held no other material market risk sensitive instruments (for trading or
non-trading purposes) that would involve significant relevant market risks,
such as equity price risk. Accordingly, the potential loss in our future
earnings resulting from changes in such market rates or prices is not
significant.
