                           CD&L, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  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. The condensed consolidated
     balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
     financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative
     of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the
     year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the
     consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
     CD&L, Inc. (the "Company" or "CD&L") Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1999.

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to
     the current year presentation.

(2)  SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS:

     Effective as of January 1, 2000, CD&L and First Union Commercial
     Corporation ("First Union") modified the Loan and Security Agreement (the
     "First Union Agreement") entered into on July 14, 1997 to change the
     covenants and financial ratios that the Company must maintain. Under the
     terms of the First Union Agreement, as amended, the Company is in
     compliance with all such covenants and financial ratios as of and for the
     six months ended June 30, 2000.

(3)  LONG-TERM DEBT:

     On January 29, 1999, the Company completed a $15 million private placement
     of senior subordinated notes and warrants (the "Senior Notes") with three
     financial institutions. The Senior Notes bear interest at 12% per annum and
     are subordinate to all senior debt including the Company's credit facility
     with First Union. The Senior Notes mature on January 29, 2006 and may be
     prepaid by the Company under certain circumstances. The warrants expire
     January 19, 2009 and are exercisable at any time prior to expiration at a
     price of $.001 per equivalent share of common stock for an aggregate of
     506,250 shares of the Company's stock, subject to additional adjustments.
     The Company has recorded the fair value of the warrants as a credit to
     additional paid-in-capital and a debt discount on the Senior Notes. Under
     the terms of the Senior Notes, the Company is required to maintain certain
     financial ratios and comply with other financial conditions. Effective as
     of January 1, 2000, CD&L and the note holders modified the Senior
     Subordinated Loan Agreement (the "Senior Note Agreement") entered into on
     January 29, 1999 to change the financial ratios and conditions that the
     Company must comply with and increased the interest rate on the Senior
     Notes to 13% per annum. Under the terms of the Senior Note Agreement, as
     amended, the Company is in compliance with all such financial ratios and
     conditions as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

(4)  REPORTABLE SEGMENTS:

     CD&L has two reportable segments: Air and Ground. Separate management of
     each segment is required because each business unit is subject to different
     cost and delivery parameters.

(5)  LITIGATION:

     In February 1996, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") filed
     an action against Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a
     subsidiary of the Company, Mr. Vincent Brana and certain other parties in
     the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
     alleging, among other things, that Securities Courier had fraudulently
     obtained automobile liability insurance from Liberty Mutual in the late
     1980s and early 1990s at below market rates. This suit, which claims common
     law fraud, fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the
     civil provisions of the Federal RICO statute, among other things, seeks an
     unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages from the
     defendants, as well as attorneys' fees and other expenses. Three additional
     defendants were added by way of a second amended complaint on April 9,
     1998. Securities and Mr. Brana have filed cross claims against each of
     these additional defendants and certain original defendants who had acted
     as insurance brokers for certain of the policies at issue. Under the terms
     of its acquisition of Securities, the Company has certain rights to
     indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the indemnification, Mr.
     Brana has entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed a Promissory
     Note in the amount of up to $500,000 or such greater amount as may be due
     for any defense costs or award arising out of this suit. Mr. Brana has
     agreed to repay the Company on December 1, 2002, together with interest
     calculated at a rate per annum equal to the rate charged the Company by its
     senior lender. In April 1999 a motion for summary judgment was filed and
     denied by the Court in December 1999. The plaintiff subsequently filed a
     Third Amended Complaint for breach of contract and additional claims for
     quantum meruit. The parties are presently participating in court-ordered
     non-binding mediation in an attempt to resolve this litigation which
     extends the time to respond to the Third Amended Complaint until thirty
     days after completion of the final mediation session, subject to the
     Court's

                                       7
<PAGE>

     approval. Mediation efforts continue at this time. Due to the continuing
     legal costs in defending this suit, Mr. Brana has delivered 357,301 shares
     of CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the note. The Company
     does not believe that an adverse determination in this matter would result
     in a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or
     results of operations of the Company.

     The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
     normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal
     injury and property damage incurred in connection with its same-day ground
     and air delivery operations. Management believes that none of these
     actions, including the action described above, will have a material adverse
     effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
     the Company.

(6)  INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:

     Basic income (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by
     dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the
     weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
     Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution if certain
     securities are converted and also includes certain shares that are
     contingently issuable. Because of the Company's net loss for the six months
     ended June 30, 2000, equivalent shares represented by 67,185 Stock Options,
     506,059 Warrants and 51,169 Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares would be
     anti-dilutive and therefore are not presented for the six months ended June
     30, 2000.

     A reconciliation of weighted average common shares outstanding to weighted
     average common shares outstanding assuming dilution follows:

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

     Overview

     The following discussion of the Company's results of operations and of its
     liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the
     condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and the related
     notes thereto which appear elsewhere in this report.

     Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

     The Company is provided a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements
     contained in this report by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
     1995. The Company may discuss forward-looking information in this report
     such as its expectations for future business development, cost reduction
     programs, product-based operating structures, revenue growth and fuel,
     insurance and labor cost controls, as well as its liquidity and capital
     needs and its future prospects. These forward-looking statements involve
     certain risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual events or results
     to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
     statements. Potential risks and uncertainties include without limitation
     the risk that the Company will be unable to continue growing revenue
     internally, or that the Company's cost reduction programs will fail to
     prevent further erosion of its profit margins or cause loss of key
     personnel, or that the Company's industry-based strategic re-positioning
     will fail to generate revenue growth, profitability, operating efficiencies
     or improved service levels, or that the Company will be unable to reduce
     its fuel, labor and insurance costs, or that the Company will be unable to
     achieve the other cost savings or additional profits for forward quarters
     contemplated by the Company's business management strategy, or that the
     Company will be unable to continue to meet its financial covenants under
     existing credit lines or otherwise have adequate credit facilities to
     support its operations and revenue growth or other risks specified in the
     Company's Form 10-K and other SEC filings.

     Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30,
     1999

     Revenue for the first half of 2000 increased by $11.6 million, or 10.8%, to
     $118.8 million from $107.2 million for the first half of 1999. Ground
     delivery revenue grew by 12.9% to $84.9 million and air courier revenue
     grew 6.1% to $33.9 million for the first half of 2000 compared to the same
     period in 1999. Revenue from acquisitions completed in 1999 contributed
     $3.0 million and $2.6 million to the ground and air courier revenue
     increases, respectively.

     Cost of revenue increased by $9.9 million, or 12.0%, to $92.1 million for
     the first six months of 2000 from $82.2 million for the first six months of
     1999. Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2000 represents
     77.6% of revenues as compared to 76.7% for the same period in 1999. The
     increase in cost of revenue is due to an increase in ground delivery cost
     of revenue, which is primarily in the contract distribution business. This
     business typically has lower initial margins due to start-up costs.
     Additionally, labor and vehicle operating costs increased in 2000, but were
     partially offset by a reclassification of $1.1 million in certain salaries
     to selling, general, and administration ("SG&A") expense. The increased
     labor cost is attributable to the tight labor market for reliable drivers
     and sub-contractors.

     SG&A expenses increased by $4.5 million, or 22.6%, to $24.4 million for the
     first six months of 2000 from $19.9 million for the same period in 1999.
     Stated as a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 20.5% for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 18.6% for the same period in
     1999. In addition to the $1.1 million reclassification from cost of
     revenue, the variance is primarily attributable to increased staffing and
     related expenses, the administrative expenses of the companies acquired in
     1999, bad debt expense recorded as a result of a previous customer filing
     for bankruptcy protection and increased consulting expenses.

     Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million to $2.3 million for
     the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $2.1 million for the same
     period in 1999, primarily reflecting an increase in goodwill amortization
     expense as a result of the Company's acquisitions in 1999.

     As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income decreased by
     $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same
     period in 1999.

     Interest expense increased by $0.4 million to $1.9 million for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $1.5 million for the same period
     in 1999, primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates.
     Interest expense is expected to continue to increase as a result of higher
     interest rates being charged under the amended credit facilites.

     Net income (loss) decreased by $2.1 million to a loss of $(1.0) million for
     the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to income of $1.1 million
     for the same period in 1999 for the reasons discussed above.

     Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to the Three Months Ended June
     30, 1999

     Revenue for the second quarter of 2000 increased by $3.0 million, or 5.4%,
     to $58.8 million from $55.8 million for the second quarter of 1999. Ground
     delivery revenue grew by 7.7% to $42.0 million and air courier revenue
     decreased .5% to $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared to
     the same period in 1999. Revenue from acquisitions completed in 1999
     contributed $0.7 million to the ground revenue increase.


                                       10
<PAGE>


     Cost of revenue increased by $2.7 million, or 6.3%, to $45.3 million for
     the second quarter of 2000 from $42.6 million for the second quarter of
     1999. Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2000 represents
     77.0% of revenues as compared to 76.4% for the same period in 1999. The
     increase in cost of revenue is due to an increase in ground delivery cost
     of revenue, which is primarily in the contract distribution business. This
     business typically has lower initial margins due to start-up costs.
     Additionally, labor and vehicle operating costs increased in 2000, but were
     partially offset by a reclassification of $0.6 million in certain salaries
     to SG&A expense. The increased labor cost is attributable to the tight
     labor market for reliable drivers and sub-contractors.

     SG&A expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 11.8%, to $11.4 million for the
     second quarter of 2000 from $10.2 million for the same period in 1999.
     Stated as a percentage of revenue, SG&A increased to 19.4% for the three
     months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to 18.2% for the same period in
     1999. In addition to the $0.6 million reclassification from cost of
     revenue, the variance is primarily attributable to increased staffing and
     related expenses and the administrative expenses of the companies acquired
     in 1999.

     As a result of the factors discussed above, operating income decreased by
     $1.0 million to $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 as
     compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 1999.

     Interest expense increased by $0.1 million to $1.0 million for the three
     months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $0.9 million for the same period
     in 1999, primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates.
     Interest expense is expected to continue to increase as a result of higher
     interest rates being charged under the amended credit facilities.

     Net income decreased by $0.6 million to $0.1 million for the three months
     ended June 30, 2000 as compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 1999
     for the reasons discussed above.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Working capital decreased from $6.0 million as of December 31, 1999 to $2.1
     million as of June 30, 2000. This decrease of $3.9 million reflects an
     increase in the amount of short-term borrowings outstanding and long-term
     debt maturing in the next twelve months. Cash and cash equivalents
     increased from $0.3 million to $0.5 million. Cash was provided by financing
     activities (an increase in the Company's borrowings on its line of credit
     offset by repayments of long-term debt) and used in operations (primarily
     as a result of the net loss for the six month period) as well as to finance
     acquisitions of equipment and leasehold improvements. Capital expenditures
     amounted to $0.8 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
     2000 and 1999, respectively. These expenditures primarily upgraded Company
     computer system capability and maintained Company facilities in the
     ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2000 the Company had available
     $5.7 million under its revolving credit facility after adjusting for the
     restrictions for outstanding letters of credit and the subordinated
     debentures. However, subsequent to June 30, 2000, use of availability for
     increased letter of credit commitments as well as restrictions on
     availability per the modified debt agreements have substantially decreased
     the amount available.

     Management believes that anticipated cash flows generated from operations,
     together with its borrowing capacity, are sufficient to support the
     Company's operations and general business and liquidity requirements for
     the foreseeable future. However, if cash flows from operations materially
     fall short of our projections, no assurances can be given with respect to
     the adequacy of existing credit lines, or the availability of alternative
     borrowing sources.

     Inflation

     Other than the described effects of recent fuel increases and labor costs,
     inflation has not had a material impact on the Company's results of
     operations for the past three years.

     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

     CD&L's major "market risk" exposure is the effect of changing interest
     rates. CD&L manages its interest expense by using a combination of fixed
     and variable rate debt. At June 30, 2000, the Company's debt consisted of
     approximately $25.0 million of fixed rate debt with a weighted average
     interest rate of 10.7% and $9.8 million of variable rate debt with a
     weighted average interest rate of 9.3% The amount of variable rate debt
     fluctuates during the year based on CD&L's cash requirements. If interest
     rates on such variable rate debt were to increase by 85 basis points
     (one-tenth of the rate at June 30, 2000), the net impact to the Company's
     results of operations and cash flows for the six month period ended June
     30, 2000 would be a decrease of approximately $38,000.

                           Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

     Item 1 - Legal Proceedings.

     In February 1996, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company ("Liberty Mutual") filed
     an action against Securities Courier Corporation ("Securities"), a
     subsidiary of the Company, Mr. Vincent Brana and certain other parties in
     the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
     alleging, among other things, that Securities Courier had fraudulently
     obtained automobile liability insurance from Liberty Mutual in the late
     1980s and early 1990s at below market rates. This suit, which claims common
     law fraud, fraudulent inducement, unjust enrichment and violations of the
     civil provisions of the Federal RICO statute, among other things, seeks an
     unspecified amount of compensatory and punitive damages from the
     defendants, as well as attorneys' fees and other expenses. Three additional
     defendants were added by way of a second amended complaint on April 9,
     1998. Securities and Mr. Brana have filed cross claims against each of
     these additional defendants and certain original defendants who had acted
     as insurance brokers for certain of the policies at issue. Under the terms
     of its acquisition of Securities, the Company has certain rights to
     indemnification from Mr. Brana. In connection with the indemnification, Mr.
     Brana has entered into a Settlement Agreement and executed a Promissory
     Note in the amount of up to $500,000 or such greater amount as may be due
     for any defense costs or award arising out of this suit. Mr. Brana has
     agreed to repay the Company on December 1, 2002, together with interest
     calculated at a rate per annum equal to the rate charged the Company by its
     senior lender. In April 1999 a motion for summary judgment was filed and
     denied by the Court in December 1999. The plaintiff subsequently filed a
     Third Amended Complaint for breach of contract and additional claims for
     quantum meruit. The parties are presently participating in court-ordered
     non-binding mediation in an attempt to resolve this litigation which
     extends the time to respond to the Third Amended Complaint until thirty
     days after completion of the final mediation session, subject to the
     Court's approval. Mediation efforts continue at this time. Due to the
     continuing legal costs in defending this suit, Mr. Brana has delivered
     357,301 shares of CD&L common stock to the Company as collateral for the
     note. The Company does not believe that an adverse determination in this
     matter would result in a material adverse effect on the consolidated
     financial position or results of operations of the Company.

     The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the
     normal course of its business, most of which involves claims for personal
     injury and property damage incurred in connection with its same-day ground
     and air delivery operations. Management believes that none of these
     actions, including the action described above, will have a material adverse
     effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of
     the Company.
