(Unaudited)
 
NOTE 1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited interim financial statements as of June 28, 2002 and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001 are condensed and do not contain all information required by generally accepted accounting principles to be included in a full set of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, that are necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for any full fiscal year. These unaudited interim financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2001 and unaudited financial statements for the three months ended April 5, 2002 included in the Company’s prospectus dated June 12, 2002 related to the Company’s initial public offering.
 
All references in the condensed consolidated financial statements to number of shares outstanding, price per share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated for all periods presented to reflect a 2 for 1 common stock split effective June 7, 2002.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements as of June 28, 2002 and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001 include the accounts of the Company and all entities which the Company controls. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Industry Segments
 
The Company operates in two reportable industry segments, providing intermodal rail stacktrain services (the “wholesale” segment) and providing other logistics services (the “retail” segment) in North America.
 
Other Comprehensive Income
 
The Company classifies items of comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and displays the accumulated balance of comprehensive income separately from accumulated deficit and additional paid-in-capital in the equity section of the balance sheet.
 
Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign currency translation adjustments and derivative transactions, net of related tax. Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the following (in millions):

Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Management estimates that the $150.0 million principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes are valued at $150.8 million and $120.0 million as of June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively, based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of long term debt, other than the Senior Subordinated Notes, approximates fair value due to the floating nature of the interest rates.
 
Adoption of Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
 
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (“SFAS 142”), “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS 142 supercedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 17 and addresses the financial accounting and reporting standards for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The Company adopted SFAS 142 on December 29, 2001 and ceased to amortize goodwill on that date. The carrying amount of goodwill at June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001 assigned to the wholesale segment was $23.3 million, and the carrying amount of goodwill at June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001 assigned to the retail segment was $258.2 million.
 
As part of the adoption of SFAS 142, the Company completed a goodwill impairment test during the first quarter of fiscal year 2002, and concluded that no adjustment to the balance of goodwill at the date of adoption was required. The adoption of SFAS 142 removed certain differences between book and tax income; therefore, the Company’s estimated fiscal year 2002 effective tax rate has been adjusted to approximately 39.7%.
 
A reconciliation of previously reported net income and earnings per share to the amounts adjusted for the goodwill amortization, net of related income tax is as follows:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” in July 2001. SFAS 143, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. SFAS 143 will be adopted by the Company in the 2003 fiscal year. While the Company has not yet completed its analysis of the effects that this new standard may have on its results of operations, it does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a significant effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4 and SFAS 64, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, gains and losses from debt extinguishment are to be classified as extraordinary only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operation – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”. The Statement also requires that sale-leaseback accounting be used for transactions that are similar in form and substance to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company does not expect implementation of this standard to have a significant effect on its results of operations or financial condition.
 
NOTE 2.    INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
On June 18, 2002, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) of 14,000,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share, including 4,750,000 shares by selling stockholders. Total proceeds on the 9,250,000 shares sold by the Company were approximately $138.8 million. Net proceeds were approximately $125.9 million after deducting $12.9 million of underwriting discounts, commissions and related expenses. The Company repaid $63.5 million of outstanding term loans and $62.4 million of the revolving credit facility with the proceeds of the offering. In connection with the term loan repayment, the Company expensed to interest expense $0.8 million of deferred loan fees.
 
In addition, a 2,100,000 share over-allotment option was exercised by the underwriters with all proceeds to the selling stockholders.
 
In June 2002, prior to the consummation of the offering, the Company issued 4,469,688 shares of common stock upon the exchange of all outstanding shares of Pacer Logistics exchangeable preferred stock at an exchange rate of 200 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Pacer Logistics exchangeable preferred stock.
 
NOTE 3.    MERGER AND SEVERANCE
 
In December 2000, the Company recorded a charge of $7.7 million relating to the consolidation of retail segment operations resulting from the December 22, 2000 acquisition of Rail Van. The charge included $5.0 million for the severance of 99 employees from the Chicago, Memphis, Los Angeles and Walnut Creek offices and the termination of agency agreements. An additional $2.0 million was included to cover lease costs for facilities no longer required primarily in Walnut Creek and Memphis. The remaining $0.7 million of this charge was for the write-off of computer software under development.

In September 2001, the Company recorded an additional charge of $1.6 million including $0.8 million for the severance of employees in the wholesale segment, $0.5 million for additional lease costs due to the worsening of the real estate market and the difficulty in subletting facilities no longer required and $0.3 million for the write-off of retail segment assets that have been abandoned. The 2001 charge was partially offset by the release of $1.2 million of remaining unused liability from the 2000 charge in the fourth quarter of 2001. The remaining severance is to be paid to senior management spread over a two-year period. The table below details merger and severance activity through June 28, 2002 (in millions).

NOTE 4.    LONG-TERM DEBT
 
At June 28, 2002, the Company had $85.0 million available under the $100.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in 2004, subject to borrowing base requirements. At June 28, 2002, the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and term loan were 4.4% and 4.9%, respectively. During the first two quarters of 2002, the Company repaid $63.3 million of the revolving credit facility, $64.7 million of the term loans and $0.1 million of capital lease obligations. The repayment of the revolving credit facility and term loans were funded by the Company’s initial public offering and operating cash flows. See note 2 for a discussion of the initial public offering.
 
The revolving and term loan credit facilities are generally guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and are collateralized by liens on the Company’s and the Company’s subsidiaries’ properties and assets. The credit agreement contains certain restrictions and financial covenants such as an adjusted total leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At June 28, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
 
NOTE 5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Company has signed long-term agreements with APL Limited (the Company’s former parent) for the domestic transportation on the stacktrain network of APL Limited’s international freight for an annual management fee of $6.6 million and for administrative services such as office space and associated office services and payable processing on a per transaction basis. In addition, the information technology services of APL Limited are currently being provided to the Company. The annual fee for these services is $10.0 million. In March 2001, the Company commenced plans for the conversion from APL Limited’s computer systems to a stand-alone capability based on information technology systems currently available in the marketplace from unrelated third parties. At June 28, 2002, an aggregate of $9.0 million had been paid to such third parties for the acquisition and development of software in connection with the conversion project, which has been capitalized in property and equipment. This amount includes $6.9 million paid to a third party developer under a $10 million fixed-price development contract. The Company is currently negotiating proposed contract modifications requested by the developer that, if accepted and agreed to, would extend the completion of this development work through the end of 2004 at an increased cost to the Company. There is no assurance that the Company and the developer will reach an agreement on these modifications or that the enhancements will be completed as originally contemplated; however, the Company will proceed with other aspects of the conversion project and will continue to avail itself of the services and support under its existing long-term agreement with APL Limited until such time as the proposed stand-alone systems or other replacement systems are completed and implemented.
 
NOTE 6.    MINORITY INTEREST
 
Pursuant to the Company’s recapitalization and acquisition of Pacer Logistics, 24,300 of Pacer Logistics’ one million authorized shares of preferred stock were issued to certain management shareholders of Pacer Logistics as 7.5% exchangeable preferred stock on May 28, 1999.

NOTE 7.    STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
On June 13, 2002, the 2002 Stock Option Plan became effective and serves as the successor to the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan. The Company initially reserved 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2002 plan, plus such additional number of shares of the Company’s common stock which remain available for future issuance under the 1999 Plan. In addition, any shares issued under the 1999 plan that are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company or that are issuable upon exercise of options that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full will be available for grant and issuance under the 2002 plan. The 2002 plan terminates in ten years, unless it is terminated earlier by the Company’s board of directors.

NOTE 8.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Two subsidiaries of Pacer Logistics, Interstate Consolidation, Inc. and Intermodal Container Service, Inc., were named defendants in a class action filed in July 1997 in the State of California, Los Angeles Superior Court, Central District, alleging, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, unfair business practices, conversion and money had and received in connection with monies allegedly wrongfully deducted from truck drivers’ earnings. The defendants entered into a Judge Pro Tempore Submission Agreement dated as of October 9, 1998, pursuant to which the plaintiffs and defendants have waived their rights to a jury trial, stipulated to a certified class, and agreed to a minimum judgement of $250,000 and a maximum judgement of $1.75 million. On August 11, 2000, the Court issued its Statement of Decision, in which Interstate Consolidation, Inc. and Intermodal Container Service, Inc. prevailed on all issues except one. The only adverse ruling was a Court finding that Interstate failed to issue certificates of insurance to the owner-operators and therefore failed to disclose that in 1998, Interstate’s retention on its liability policy was $250,000. The court has ordered that restitution of $488,978 be paid for this omission. The court entered judgment on the August 11, 2000 decision on January 23, 2002. Plaintiffs’ counsel has appealed the entire ruling and the Company is appealing the restitution issue. Based upon information presently available and in light of legal and other defenses and insurance coverage, management does not expect these legal proceedings, claims and assessments, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
 
NOTE 9.    SEGMENT INFORMATION

NOTE 11.    HEDGING ACTIVITIES
 
The Company records the fair value of interest rate swap agreements designated as hedging instruments as a derivative asset or liability. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are reported as unrealized gains or losses in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge but the derivative instrument is not fully effective in hedging the designated risk, the ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reported in interest expense immediately.
 
The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements on April 11, 2001 with a combined notional amount of $100.0 million which mature on October 11, 2002, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These swap agreements effectively change the variable-rate cash flows on the Company’s debt obligations to fixed-rate cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company receives variable interest rate payments based on LIBOR and make fixed interest rate payments at 4.43%. The average interest rate for amounts received during the first six months of 2002 was approximately 1.9%.
 
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 28, 2002 includes no net gains or losses representing cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, since the critical terms of the Company’s swap agreements and debt obligations are matched. The Company recognizes additional interest expense resulting from amortization of amounts deferred to other comprehensive income (loss).

NOTE 12.    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
In conjunction with the Company’s recapitalization and acquisition of Pacer Logistics on May 28, 1999, the Company issued $150.0 million of 11.75% senior subordinated notes due June 1, 2007 and entered into a credit agreement that provided for a seven-year $135.0 million term loan due May 28, 2006 and a five-year $100.0 million revolving credit facility due May 28, 2004. In addition, on December 22, 2000, the Company entered into an amendment to the credit agreement that provided for an additional term loan in the amount of $40.0 million that was borrowed to finance the acquisition of Rail Van. The outstanding principal amount of the $40.0 million term loan was repaid in June 2002 with proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by each of the Company’s subsidiaries. The term and revolving loans and letters of credit under the credit agreement are guaranteed by all of the Company’s existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s obligations and the obligations of such subsidiaries are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets and all of the properties and assets of such subsidiaries, whether such properties and assets are now owned or subsequently acquired, subject to exceptions.
 
The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to SEC Regulation S-X Rule 3-10 “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.” This information is not intended to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the individual companies or groups of companies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

ITEM  2.
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that reflect our current estimates, expectations and projections about our future results, performance, prospects and opportunities. Forward-looking statements include, among other things, the information concerning our possible future results of operations, business and growth strategies, financing plans, our competitive position and the effects of competition, the projected growth of the markets in which we operate, and the benefits and synergies to be obtained from our completed and any future acquisitions. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “may”, “should”, “will”, “would” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to us and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements we make in this quarterly report. Important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements we make in this quarterly report include:
 
 
 
General economic and business conditions;
 
 
 
Industry trends;
 
 
 
Increases in our leverage;
 
 
 
Changes in our business strategy, development plans or cost savings plans;
 
 
 
Our ability to integrate acquired businesses;
 
 
 
The loss of one or more of our major customers;
 
 
 
Competition;
 
 
 
Availability of qualified personnel;
 
 
 
Changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulation; and
 
 
 
The other risk factors detailed from time to time in the documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in the prospectus dated June 12, 2002 for our initial public offering.
 
You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as otherwise required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this quarterly report.
 
Results of Operations
 
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the MD&A, including a discussion of our Critical Accounting Policies, and the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s prospectus dated June 12, 2002 related to the Company’s initial public offering.

Overview.    Our results for the second quarter of 2002 continued to be negatively impacted by issues from 2001 including the general economic downturn, and particularly a cyclical slowdown in the automotive sector. While results improved compared to the first quarter of 2002, our truck brokerage, freight handling and international freight forwarding operations continued to experience reduced shipments from major retailers and other customers including Kraft, Ford, Bridgestone and the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). Our wholesale operations were also affected by reduced automotive and international shipments as discussed below. Despite these factors which impacted gross revenues, we were able to increase net revenues, income from operations, net income and earnings per share for the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter.

Gross Revenues.    Gross revenues decreased $30.4 million, or 7.0%, for the three months ended June 28, 2002 compared to the three months ended June 29, 2001. However, as discussed below, net revenues increased 4.5% for the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter. Gross revenues in our retail segment decreased $27.6 million reflecting reductions primarily in the truck brokerage and freight handling operations associated with the cyclical slowdown in the automotive sector and less freight forwarding business for the USDA noted above. Wholesale segment gross revenues increased $1.2 million reflecting an increase in wholesale third-party domestic operations partially offset by decreases in wholesale automotive and wholesale international operations. The increase in the wholesale third-party domestic operations was a result of increased freight revenues from several intermodal marketing companies, including our intermodal marketing operations. The wholesale automotive operations decrease in freight revenues reflected the cyclical slowdown in the automotive sector. The wholesale segment continues to handle all of the containerized auto business moved by rail in and out of Mexico. The wholesale international operations decrease in freight revenues was primarily the result of the loss of low margin business of an international shipping customer in the fourth quarter of 2001. In addition, we saw an increase in ancillary revenues of $3.1 million from railcar rental and container per diem revenue associated with the increase in equipment under lease in the 2002 quarter partially offset by lower repositioning revenue.
 
Through our strategy to increase the use of intercompany services and cross-selling activities, our retail segment usage of our wholesale segment for rail transportation increased revenues by $4.0 million, or 20.1%, in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter. Cross-selling activities within the retail segment increased revenues by $2.2 million, or 78.3%, in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter.
 
Net Revenues.    Net revenues increased $3.6 million, or 4.5%, for the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter. The retail segment’s net revenues decreased $4.3 million primarily due to the economic downturn discussed above. The retail segment gross margin decreased to 14.5% during the 2002 quarter compared to 14.6% during the 2001 quarter due primarily to changes in business mix. The wholesale segment’s net revenues increased $7.9 million in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter primarily due to strength in wholesale third-party domestic operations and ancillary revenues described above, as well as improved yield management. Equipment repositioning costs were less in the 2002 quarter as a result of the increase in domestic traffic volume, especially the northbound general freight traffic out of Mexico that began to increase in the fourth quarter of 2001. The wholesale segment gross margin increased to 26.1% in the 2002 quarter from 22.2% in the 2001 quarter primarily due to business mix changes and increases in higher margin ancillary services discussed above. The gross margin on freight transportation increased to 21.9% in the 2002 quarter compared to 19.5% in the 2001 quarter due primarily to the loss of the low margin international shipping customer and changes in business mix.
 
Direct Operating Expenses.    Direct operating expenses, which are only incurred by the wholesale segment, increased $1.5 million, or 6.3%, in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter due to increased railcar lease and maintenance expenses as a result of the expansion of the fleet of railcars during the latter part of 2001 partially offset by reduced container and chassis lease expenses as a result of the downsizing of the container and chassis fleet during 2001.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 1.3%, in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter primarily as the result of increased compensation expense reflecting infrastructure needs in our wholesale segment partially offset by savings in our retail segment associated with reduced headcount in the 2002 quarter. The retail segment employed approximately 130 fewer people during the 2002 quarter primarily as a result of our fiscal year 2001 consolidation and integration activities.
 
Depreciation and amortization.    Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.0 million, or 45.5%, for the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter primarily as a result of

adopting SFAS 142 on December 29, 2001 and ceasing the amortization of goodwill during 2002. Depreciation expense was $2.4 million and $2.6 million in the 2002 and 2001 quarters, respectively, and goodwill amortization expense was $0 and $1.8 million for the 2002 quarter and 2001 quarter, respectively.
 
Income From Operations.    Income from operations increased $3.6 million, or 25.4%, from $14.2 million in the 2001 quarter to $17.8 million in the 2002 quarter. The increase in operating profit is a result of the increase in net revenues and wholesale segment margins described above. The wholesale segment accounted for an increase of $3.9 million due primarily to the strength in wholesale third-party domestic operations and ancillary services, partially offset by increased labor costs associated with the infrastructure needs of the wholesale division. Retail segment income from operations declined $0.3 million reflecting the economic downturn discussed above partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization expense and savings associated with reduced headcount related to our year 2001 consolidation and integration activities.
 
Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million, or 3.2%, for the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter due to lower interest rates in 2002. In June 2002, we completed our initial public offering of common stock and repaid $125.9 million of our variable interest rate bank debt. Included in interest expense for the 2002 quarter were $0.8 million of loan fees written-off associated with the debt repayment from our IPO.
 
Income Tax Expense.    Income tax expense increased $1.5 million in the 2002 quarter compared to the 2001 quarter due to higher pre-tax income in the 2002 quarter.
 
Minority Interest Expense.    Minority interest expense, which represents 7.5% paid-in-kind dividends on the Series B exchangeable preferred stock of Pacer Logistics, decreased $0.3 million because the dividends ceased to accrue as of May 28, 2001. As a result, we have not recognized any minority interest expense since that date. All 22,348.44 outstanding shares of Series B exchangeable preferred stock of Pacer Logistics were exchanged for the Company’s common stock in conjunction with our IPO at an exchange rate of 200 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of exchangeable preferred stock.
 
Net Income.    Net income increased $2.7 million from $2.4 million in the 2001 quarter to $5.1 million in the 2002 quarter due to the increased income from operations discussed above, coupled with reduced interest expense due to lower interest rates in the 2002 quarter and reduced minority interest and goodwill amortization charges. Partially offsetting this increase was increased income tax expense associated with higher pre-tax income in the 2002 quarter.

Overview.    Our results for the first six months of 2002 continued to be negatively impacted by issues from 2001 including the general economic downturn, and particularly a cyclical slowdown in the automotive sector. As a result, our truck brokerage, freight handling and international freight forwarding operations continued to experience reduced shipments from major retailers and other customers including Kraft, Ford, Bridgestone and the USDA. Our wholesale operations were also affected by reduced automotive and international shipments as discussed below. Despite these factors which impacted gross revenues, we were able to increase net revenue, income from operations, net income and earnings per share for the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period.

Gross Revenues.    Gross revenues decreased $88.3 million, or 10.1%, for the six months ended June 28, 2002 compared to the six months ended June 29, 2001. However, as discussed below, net revenues increased 3.6% for the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. Gross revenues in our retail segment decreased $76.9 million reflecting reductions primarily in the truck brokerage and freight handling operations associated with the cyclical slowdown in the automotive sector and less freight forwarding business for the USDA noted above. Wholesale segment gross revenues increased $0.3 million reflecting an increase in wholesale third-party domestic operations partially offset by decreases in wholesale automotive and wholesale international operations. The increase in the wholesale third-party domestic operations was a result of increased freight revenues from several intermodal marketing companies, including our intermodal marketing operations. The wholesale automotive operations decrease in freight revenues reflected the cyclical slowdown in the automotive sector. The wholesale segment continues to handle all of the containerized auto business moved by rail in and out of Mexico. The wholesale international operations decrease in freight revenues was primarily the result of the loss of low margin business of an international shipping customer in the fourth quarter of 2001. In addition, we saw an increase in ancillary revenues of $8.0 million from railcar rental and container per diem revenue associated with the increase in equipment under lease in the 2002 quarter partially offset by lower repositioning revenue.
 
Through our strategy to increase the use of intercompany services and cross-selling activities, our retail segment usage of our wholesale segment for rail transportation increased revenues by $11.7 million, or 29.7%, in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. Cross-selling activities within the retail segment increased revenues by $3.5 million, or 64.1%, in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period.
 
Net Revenues.    Net revenues increased $5.9 million, or 3.6%, for the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period. The retail segment’s net revenues decreased $10.2 million primarily due to the economic downturn discussed above. The retail segment gross margin increased to 14.7% during the 2002 period compared to 14.5% during the 2001 period due primarily to yield management initiatives and changes in business mix. The wholesale segment’s net revenues increased $16.1 million in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period primarily due to strength in wholesale third-party domestic operations and ancillary revenues described above, as well as improved yield management. Equipment repositioning costs were less in the 2002 period as a result of the increase in domestic traffic volume, especially the northbound general freight traffic out of Mexico that began to increase in the fourth quarter of 2001. The wholesale segment gross margin increased to 25.9% in the 2002 period from 21.9% in the 2001 period primarily due to business mix changes and increases in higher margin ancillary services discussed above. The gross margin on freight transportation increased to 20.9% in the 2002 period compared to 19.8% in the 2001 period due primarily to the loss of the low margin international shipping customer and changes in business mix.
 
Direct Operating Expenses.    Direct operating expenses, which are only incurred by the wholesale segment, increased $4.3 million, or 8.8%, in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period due to increased railcar lease and maintenance expenses as a result of the expansion of the fleet of railcars during the latter part of 2001 partially offset by reduced container and chassis lease expenses as a result of the downsizing of the container and chassis fleet during 2001.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 2.9%, in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period primarily as the result of reduced headcount in the 2002 period. The retail segment employed approximately 140 fewer people during the 2002 period primarily as a result of our fiscal year 2001 consolidation and integration activities. The savings associated with the retail segment reduced headcount were partially offset by an increase in our wholesale segment employment and compensation expense reflecting infrastructure needs of our wholesale division. In addition, during March 2001, we terminated the container and chassis maintenance management contract and brought that function in-house, which while increasing administrative labor costs, reduced repair and maintenance costs and provided for more control of the maintenance function.

Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $4.0 million, or 44.4%, for the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period as a result of adopting SFAS 142 on December 29, 2001 and ceasing the amortization of goodwill during 2002. Depreciation expense was $5.0 million and $5.3 million in the 2002 period and 2001 period, respectively and goodwill amortization expense was $0 and $3.7 million for the 2002 period and 2001 period, respectively.
 
Income From Operations.    Income from operations increased $7.9 million, or 30.9%, from $25.6 million in the 2001 period to $33.5 million in the 2002 period. The increase in operating profit is a result of the increase in net revenues and margins described above. The wholesale segment accounted for an increase of $8.4 million due primarily to the strength in wholesale third-party domestic operations and ancillary services, partially offset by increased labor costs associated with the infrastructure needs of the wholesale division. Retail segment income from operations declined $0.5 million reflecting the economic downturn discussed above partially offset by the elimination of goodwill amortization expense and savings associated with reduced headcount related to our year 2001 consolidation and integration activities.
 
Interest Expense.    Interest expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 8.7%, for the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period due to lower interest rates in 2002. In June 2002, we completed our initial public offering of common stock and repaid $125.9 million of our variable interest rate bank debt. Included in interest expense for the 2002 period were $0.8 million of loan fees written-off associated with the debt repayment from our IPO.
 
Income Tax Expense.    Income tax expense increased $3.7 million in the 2002 period compared to the 2001 period due to higher pre-tax income in the 2002 period.
 
Minority Interest Expense.    Minority interest expense, which represents 7.5% paid-in-kind dividends on the Series B exchangeable preferred stock of Pacer Logistics, decreased $0.8 million because the dividends ceased to accrue as of May 28, 2001. As a result, we have not recognized any minority interest expense since that date. All 22,348.44 outstanding shares of Series B exchangeable preferred stock of Pacer Logistics were exchanged for common stock in conjunction with our IPO at an exchange rate of 200 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of exchangeable preferred stock.
 
Net Income.    Net income increased $6.8 million from $2.0 million in the 2001 period to $8.8 million in the 2002 period due to the increased income from operations discussed above, coupled with reduced interest expense due to lower interest rates in the 2002 period and reduced minority interest and goodwill amortization charges. Partially offsetting this increase was increased income tax expense associated with higher pre-tax income in the 2002 period.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Cash used in operating activities was $6.2 million and $1.0 million for the first two quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increased use of cash was due to a reduction in accounts payable partially offset by lower accounts receivable and improved income from operations. The lower accounts receivable resulted from improved collection efforts and the lower accounts payable resulted from improved payables processing, both associated with the consolidation of our retail segment operations in Ohio. Decreased gross revenues and expense levels during the 2002 period resulting from the economic downturn also contributed to the lower levels of receivables and payables. In addition, we made merger and severance payments of $1.7 million and $2.1 million during the 2002 period and 2001 period, respectively. Cash generated from operating activities is typically used to pay down debt, for working capital purposes, to fund capital expenditures and for acquisitions. We had working capital of $32.1 million at June 28, 2002 compared to $18.5 million at June 29, 2001. The increase in working capital is primarily due to the decrease in payables during 2002 as discussed above.
 
Our operating cash flows are also the primary source for funding our contractual obligations. The table below summarizes our major commitments consisting of long-term debt,

These amounts represent the aggregate operating lease expense that will be reflected in our statement of operations during these periods to the extent these operating leases remain outstanding.
 
Our total long-term debt was incurred to finance our recapitalization, the acquisition of Pacer Logistics in 1999 and the acquisitions of Conex, GTS, RFI and Rail Van during the year 2000. There were no acquisitions in 2001 or in the first six months of 2002. The majority of the operating lease requirements relate to our wholesale segment’s lease of railcars, containers and chassis. We do not anticipate additional equipment leases during 2002 other than for the replacement of 700 containers anticipated to be retired by the end of 2002. In addition, each year a portion of the operating leases require renewal or can be terminated based upon equipment requirements. Partially offsetting these lease payment requirements are railcar and container per diem revenues which were $31.5 million in the first six months of 2002, $23.5 million in the first six months of 2001 and $52.5 million in the full year 2001.
 
Based upon the current level of operations including the integration of the 2000 acquisitions and the anticipated future growth in both operating segments, management believes that operating cash flow and availability under the revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet our working capital, capital expenditure and other cash needs for at least the next two years, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Our largest customer generated $67.4 million, or 8.6%, of our gross revenues during the first two quarters of 2002 and $128.1 million, or 7.7%, of our gross revenues in the year 2001. Loss of this customer, or others, could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and operating cash flows. In addition, if the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, our results of operations and operating cash flows could be adversely impacted.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $4.0 million and $8.0 million for the first two quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The use of cash during both the 2002 and 2001 periods was for capital expenditures primarily for the planned conversion from APL Limited’s computer systems to a stand-alone capability for our wholesale segment and the expansion of our retail segment computer system to handle all of our retail operations requirements. In connection with the conversion of the wholesale segment to stand-alone computer systems, we are currently negotiating proposed contract modifications requested by a third-party software developer that, if accepted and agreed to, would extend the completion of the development work through the end of 2004 at an increased cost to us. There is no assurance that we will reach an agreement with the developer on these modifications or that the development work will be completed as originally contemplated; however, we will proceed with other aspects of the conversion project and will continue to avail ourselves of the services and support under our existing long-term agreement with APL Limited until such time as the proposed stand-alone systems or other replacement systems are completed and implemented.
 
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $10.2 million and $9.0 million for the first two quarters of 2002 and 2001, respectively. During the 2002 period, we completed our IPO as discussed below. Proceeds of $125.9 million, net of fees and expenses, from this transaction were used to repay $63.5 million of term loans and $62.4 million of the revolving credit facility. In addition, during the 2002 period we repaid $1.2 million of term loans, $0.9 million of the revolving credit facility and $0.1 million of capital lease obligations. During the 2001 period, a net $0.9 million was borrowed from the revolving credit facility, $0.9 million was repaid on the term loans and $0.1 million of capital lease obligations were repaid.
 
On June 18, 2002, we completed an initial public offering of 14,000,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share, including 4,750,000 shares by selling stockholders. Total proceeds on the 9,250,000 shares sold by us were approximately $138.8 million. Net proceeds

were approximately $125.9 million after deducting $12.9 million in underwriting discounts, commissions and related fees. We repaid $63.5 million of outstanding term loans and $62.4 million of the revolving credit facility with the proceeds of the offering. In addition, a 2,100,000 share over-allotment option was exercised by the underwriters with all proceeds to the selling stockholders.
 
Prior to the consummation of the offering, we issued 4,469,688 shares of common stock upon the exchange of all outstanding shares of Pacer Logistics exchangeable preferred stock at an exchange rate of 200 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Pacer Logistics exchangeable preferred stock.
 
We entered into two interest rate swap agreements on April 11, 2001 with a combined notional amount of $100.0 million, which mature on October 11, 2002, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These swap agreements effectively change the variable-rate cash flows on our debt obligations to fixed-rate cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable interest rate payments based on LIBOR and make fixed interest rate payments at 4.43%. Our average interest rate for amounts received during the first six months of 2002 was approximately 1.9%.
 
The revolving and term loan credit facilities are generally guaranteed by all of our existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and are collateralized by liens on our and our subsidiaries’ properties and assets. At June 28, 2002, we had $85.0 million available under the revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base requirements. The credit agreement contains certain restrictions and financial covenants such as an adjusted total leverage ratio and a consolidated interest coverage ratio. At June 28, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
 
The wholesale segment took delivery of 250 new 53-foot chassis and 291 new 40-foot chassis financed through operating leases and returned 604 48-foot and 144 53-foot chassis and 597 48-foot and 26 53-foot containers during the 2002 period.
 
Other Matters
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 (“SFAS 143”), “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” in July 2001. SFAS 143, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. We will adopt SFAS 143 in the 2003 fiscal year. While we have not yet completed our analysis of the effects that this new standard may have on our results of operations, we do not expect the implementation of this standard to have a significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 145, “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections as of April 2002”, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 rescinds SFAS 4 and SFAS 64, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, gains and losses from debt extinguishment are to be classified as extraordinary only if they meet the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, “Reporting the Results of Operation – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”. The Statement also requires that sale-leaseback accounting be used for transactions that are similar in form and substance to sale-leaseback transactions. The Company does not expect implementation of this standard to have a significant effect on its results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 3.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Our market risk is affected primarily by changes in interest rates. Under our policies, we may use hedging techniques and derivative financial instruments to reduce the impact of adverse changes in market prices.
 
We have market risk in interest rate exposure, primarily in the United States. We manage interest exposure through our mix of fixed and floating rate debt. Interest rate swaps may be used to adjust interest rate exposure when appropriate based on market conditions. For qualifying hedges, the interest differential of swaps is included in interest expense.
 
Effective April 11, 2001, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements totaling a notional amount of $100.0 million, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. As of June 28, 2002, a liability of $0.9 million is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and offset in other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) which represents the fair market value of the swaps. The swaps terminate on October 11, 2002. Based upon the average variable interest rate debt outstanding during the first six months of 2002, a 1% change in our variable interest rates would effect our pre-tax earnings by approximately $1.8 million on an annual basis including the effects of the interest rate swap entered into on April 11, 2001.
 
As our foreign business expands, we will be subjected to greater foreign currency risk.

During the first six months of 2001, certain members of our senior management exercised options to purchase 365,748 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $0.11 per share and exercised options to purchase 1,000 shares at an average purchase price of $5.00 per share. The proceeds were used to repay the remaining portion of the notes payable to management that were part of the purchase price for Pacer Logistics acquired on May 28, 1999 and for general corporate purposes. In addition, certain members of senior management exercised 27,498 Pacer International, Inc. preferred stock options with an exercise price of $9.00 per share. We elected, at our discretion, to repurchase and retire the preferred stock that was issued upon exercise of the options. We granted 278,000 options during the first six months of 2001 to management personnel to purchase Pacer International, Inc. common stock at $12.50 per share.
 
These shares of common stock were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act. The purchasers represented their intentions to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view to resale or distribution, and appropriate legends were affixed to the share certificates issued.
 
On June 18, 2002, we completed an initial public offering of 14,000,000 shares of common stock at $15.00 per share, including 4,750,000 shares by selling stockholders. The principal underwriters for this offering were Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation and Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. Total proceeds on the 9,250,000 shares sold by us were approximately $138.8 million. We incurred underwriting discounts, commissions and related fees of approximately $12.9 million. Net proceeds of $125.9 million have been used to repay $63.5 million of outstanding term loans and $62.4 million of the revolving credit facility. In addition, a 2,100,000 share over-allotment option was exercised by the underwriters with all proceeds to the selling stockholders.
 
Prior to the consummation of the offering, we issued 4,469,688 shares of common stock upon the exchange of all 22,348.44 outstanding shares of Pacer Logistics exchangeable preferred stock at an exchange rate of 200 shares of common stock for each outstanding share of Pacer Logistics exchangeable preferred stock.

Pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization among us and Coyote Acquisition LLC, prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to our initial public offering, Coyote Acquisition LLC contributed all of its assets to us in exchange solely for newly issued shares of our common stock. Coyote Acquisition LLC’s assets consist solely of 17,824,000 shares of our common stock. We issued 17,824,000 shares of our common stock to Coyote Acquisition LLC in the transaction. The reorganization had no effect on the number of shares owned by Coyote Acquisition LLC or their rights as a stockholder. These shares of common stock were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as transactions by an
