                             GENERAL INFORMATION


           INTRODUCTION TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

     In September 1995, Coach USA, Inc. ("Coach USA" or the "Company"), was
founded to create a national company providing motorcoach transportation
services, including charter and tour services, and related passenger ground
transportation services.

     In May 1996, Coach USA acquired, simultaneously with the closing of an
initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering"), six established
businesses. Consideration for these businesses consisted of a combination of
cash and common stock of Coach USA. These six businesses along with Coach USA
prior to the Initial Public Offering are referred to herein as the "Founding
Companies" and the transaction pursuant to which these six businesses were
acquired is referred to herein as the "Merger" or "Mergers." Coach USA has
acquired additional businesses in 1996 and 1997. Of these additional businesses
acquired (collectively the "Acquisitions"), several acquisitions were accounted
for as poolings-of-interests and are referred to herein as the "Pooled
Companies." The remaining businesses acquired were accounted for as purchases
and are referred to herein as the "Purchased Companies" .

     The accompanying pro forma combined statements of income of the Company for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, include the
combined operations of the Pooled Companies and the Founding Companies from
January 1, 1996, and the Purchased Companies from the date of their respective
acquisition.

     The Founding Companies were not under common control or management through
May 1996. The Pooled Companies and Purchased Companies were not under common
control or management prior to their respective acquisition. This pro forma
information may not be indicative of the actual results if the transactions had
occurred on the dates indicated or the actual results which may be realized in
the future. Expected benefits and cost reductions anticipated by the Company,
future corporate costs of Coach USA, and interest expense have not been adjusted
in the pro forma information for 1996 or 1997 to reflect savings as a result of
the offering proceeds or to reflect additional interest expense and amortization
related to the senior subordinated notes issued in June 1997.

     Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results for full years. The results of the Company have historically been
subject to significant seasonal fluctuations. It is suggested that these pro
forma combined financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of the Company and the Founding Companies and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 28056),
as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the
supplemental consolidated financial statements of the Company included in Form
8-K dated August 8, 1997.

               NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF INCOME

     The Founding Companies, Pooled Companies and Purchased Companies have been
managed prior to their acquisitions as independent private companies. Therefore,
general and administrative expenses and interest expense for the periods
presented reflect compensation and related benefits that owners received from
their respective businesses prior to acquisition. Additional pro forma
adjustments have been presented for the purpose of reflecting net income as if
the merger of the Founding Companies and the acquisition of the Pooled Companies
had occurred January 1, 1996. Certain stockholders agreed to reductions in
salaries, benefits and the conversion of outstanding debt to equity in
connection with the Acquisitions. Certain stockholders also have entered into
employment agreements which provide for a set base salary and certain other
benefits and two-year covenants not to compete following termination of such
person's employment.

     The pro forma data presents compensation at the level that certain
stockholders of the Company agreed to receive from the Founding and Pooled
Companies subsequent to the Merger and Pooled Company acquisitions as well as a
non-recurring non-cash charge recorded by the Company in March 1996. In
addition, the pro forma data presents the reduction of interest expense related
to the conversion of stockholders' debt to equity at one of the Pooled
Companies, the reduction of the acquisition related costs incurred in the
acquisition of the Pooled Companies, and the incremental provision for income
taxes as if all entities had been subject to federal and state income taxes and
for the impact of the compensation differential and interest reduction discussed
above.

PRO FORMA NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

     The computation of pro forma net income per common and common equivalent
share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 is based upon 17,399,702
weighted average shares outstanding which includes (i) 2,165,724 shares issued
by Coach USA prior to the Initial Public Offering, (ii) 5,099,687 shares issued
to the stockholders of the Founding Companies in connection with the Initial
Public Offering, (iii) 1,700,714 of the 4,140,000 shares sold in the Initial
Public Offering to pay the cash portion of the consideration for the Founding
Companies, (iv) 118,142 of the 4,140,000 shares sold in the Initial Public
Offering attributed to excess S Corporation distributions, (v) 2,321,144 of the
4,140,000 shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, net of shares sold to
cover the purchase of the Founding Companies, (vi) 5,436,592 shares issued in
connection with the acquisition of the Pooled Companies, (vii) 425,039 shares
issued in connection with the conversion of indebtedness to equity at one of the
Pooled Companies, and (viii) 132,660 shares representing the weighted average
portion of shares for the dilution attributable to outstanding options to
purchase the Company's common stock, using the treasury stock method.

     The computation of pro forma net income per common and common equivalent
share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 is based upon 20,419,928
weighted average shares outstanding, common and common equivalent shares, which
include (i) 19,351,349 shares issued and outstanding for the entire nine month
period and (ii) 981 shares issued to minority interests of the Pooled Companies,
and (iii) 387,064 shares representing the weighted average portion of shares
issued in connection with the Purchased Companies acquired in 1997, (iv) 21,888
shares representing the weighted average portion of shares issued in connection
with the exercise of stock options, and (v) 658,646 shares representing the
weighted average portion of shares for the dilution attributable to outstanding
options to purchase the Company's common stock, using the treasury stock method.

             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION:

     In September 1995, Coach USA, Inc. ("Coach USA" or the "Company") was
founded to create a national company providing motorcoach transportation
services, including charter and tour services, and related passenger ground
transportation services.

     In May 1996, Coach USA acquired, simultaneously with the closing of its
initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering"), six established
businesses. Consideration for these businesses consisted of a combination of
cash and common stock of Coach USA (the "Common Stock"). These six businesses
along with Coach USA prior to the Initial Public Offering are referred to herein
as the "Founding Companies," and the transaction pursuant to which these six
businesses were acquired is referred to herein as the "Merger" or "Mergers."
Coach USA has acquired additional businesses in 1996 and 1997. Of these
additional businesses acquired, those accounted for as poolings-of-interests are
referred to herein as the "Pooled Companies." The remaining businesses were
accounted for as purchases and are referred to herein as the "Purchased
Companies" (see Note 5).

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

   INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally
included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those
rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows with respect to the interim consolidated financial statements, have
been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.

     It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the audited supplemental consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto of Coach USA included in the Company's Form 8-K
filed with the SEC on August 8, 1997.

   SEASONALITY

     The timing of certain holidays, weather conditions and seasonal vacation
patterns may cause the Company's quarterly results of operations to fluctuate
significantly. The Company expects to realize higher revenues, operating income
and net income during the second and third quarters and lower revenues and net
income during the first and fourth quarters.

   RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain reclassifications have been made in prior periods to conform with
the current presentation.

   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." SFAS No.
128 revises the methodology to be used in computing earnings per share (EPS)
such that the computations required for primary and fully diluted EPS are to be
replaced with "basic" and "diluted" EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the year. Diluted EPS is computed in the same manner as fully diluted
EPS, except that, among other changes, the average share price for the period is
used in all cases when applying the treasury stock method to potentially
dilutive outstanding options.

     The Company will adopt SFAS No. 128 effective December 15, 1997, and will
restate EPS for all periods presented. The Company anticipates that the amounts
reported for basic EPS for the unaudited nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1997 will be $1.25 and $1.08, and that basic EPS for the unaudited pro forma
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 will be $.81 and $1.19. The
Company anticipates that the amounts reported for diluted EPS for the unaudited
nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 will be $1.22 and $1.04 and that
diluted EPS for the unaudited pro forma nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
1997 will be $.80 and $1.14.

4.   LONG TERM OBLIGATIONS

     In May 1996, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement ("Credit
Facility"). In August 1997, the Company amended and restated its Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility, as amended, provides for a revolving facility of
$300 million through a syndicate of eighteen banks, and allows the Company to
have other senior indebtedness of $80 million (in addition to fully subordinated
debt) outside the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is secured by
substantially all of the assets of the Company and matures August, 2000, at
which time all amounts then outstanding become due. Interest on outstanding
borrowings is charged, at the Company's option, at the banks' prime rate plus up
to 0.25% or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 0.50% to 1.75%
(6.66% at November 4, 1997), both as determined by the ratio of the Company's
funded debt to cash flow (as defined). A commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to
0.375% is payable on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. Under the terms
of the Credit Facility, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios,
including maximum leverage ratios, minimum net worth, minimum fixed charge
coverage ratios, and maximum capital expenditure levels. The Credit Facility
prohibits the payment of cash dividends. As of November 4, 1997, the Company had
a total of $133.1 million outstanding under the Credit Facility and other
sources and had utilized $10.6 million of the facility for letters of credit
securing certain insurance obligations and performance bonds, resulting in a
borrowing availability of $236.3 million under the Credit Facility and other
sources. The Company's obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by
the domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

     In June 1997, the Company completed the sale of $150.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 93/8% senior subordinated notes due 2007. The net proceeds
from the offering were used to repay amounts owed under the Credit Facility.

     During 1997, the Company has issued $26.2 million in convertible
subordinated notes (the Notes) to former owners of certain of the Purchased
Companies as partial consideration of the acquisition purchase

price. The Notes bear interest, payable quarterly, at a weighted average
interest rate of 5.3 percent and are convertible by the holder into shares of
the Company's Common Stock at a weighted average price of $37.49 per share. The
Notes are redeemable for cash or the Company's Common Stock at any time after
one year of issuance. The terms of the Notes require $12.1 million of principal
payments in 1999 and 14.1 million of principle payments in 2000.

5.   BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

   POOLINGS

     During 1996 and through the third quarter of 1997, the Company acquired all
of the outstanding stock of thirteen companies in exchange for 5,436,592 shares
of Common Stock. These companies provide motorcoach transportation, paratransit
and taxicab services. These acquisitions have been accounted for as
poolings-of-interests and the results of operations of these thirteen companies
are included for all periods presented herein.

   PURCHASES

     During 1996 and through the third quarter of 1997, the Company completed
several acquisitions accounted for as purchases. The aggregate consideration
paid in these transactions consisted of $72.0 million in cash, 587,740 shares of
Common Stock and $48.7 million of notes convertible into 1,455,430 shares of
Common Stock. The accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 1997 includes
preliminary allocations of the respective purchase prices and are subject to
final adjustment. The preliminary allocations reflected liabilities in excess of
assets of $115.3 million, which has been recorded as Goodwill and is being
amortized over 40 years. Set forth below are unaudited pro forma combined
revenue and income data reflecting the pro forma effect of these acquisitions on
the Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the
nine months ended September 30, 1997. The unaudited data presented below
consists of the income statement data as presented in these condensed
consolidated financial statements plus (i) the income statement data of the
Founding Companies for the periods prior to June 1, 1996 and (ii) all Purchased
Companies as if the acquisitions were effective on the first day of the year
being reported. The revenue and net income data are in thousands.

(b) adjustment to depreciation and amortization expense due to the purchase
price allocations; (c) adjustment to the federal and state income tax provisions
based on the combined operations; (d) elimination of historical interest expense
related to certain obligations converted to equity; (e) elimination of
non-recurring acquisition costs associated with Pooled Companies; and (f) to

Companies been combined at the beginning of the periods presented.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

   CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS

     The Company is subject to certain claims and lawsuits arising in the normal
course of business, most of which involve claims for personal injury and
property damage incurred in connection with its operations. The Company
maintains various insurance coverages in order to minimize financial risk
associated with the claims. The Company has provided for certain of these
actions in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
In the opinion of management, uninsured losses, if any, resulting from the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not be material to the Company's
financial position or results of operations.

   REGULATORY MATTERS

     The Surface Transportation Board ("STB") must approve or exempt any
consolidation or merger of two or more regulated interstate motorcoach operators
or the acquisition of one such operator by another. As of November 11, 1997, the
STB had exempted from regulatory approval requirements each of the acquisition
transactions involving federally-regulated interstate motorcoach operators
entered into by the Company through April 1997. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to obtain such approval or exemption with respect to
the acquisitions completed after April 1997 or future acquisitions.

   ESTIMATED INSURANCE CLAIMS PAYABLE

     The Company's operations include risks relating to bodily injury include
risks relating to property damage to third parties and workers' compensation.
The Company has commercial liability insurance policies that provide coverage by
the insurance company, subject to deductibles ranging from $5,000 to $250,000.
The Company is consolidating its insurance program under a program which
provides for deductibles ranging from $100,000 to $250,000. As such, any claim
within the deductible per incident would be the financial obligation of the
Company.

     The accrued insurance claims payable represents management's estimate of
the Company's potential claims costs in satisfying the deductible provisions of
the insurance policies for claims occurring through September 30, 1997. The
accrual is based on known facts and historical trends. Management believes such
accrual to be adequate.

   COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS

     The Company is a party to various collective bargaining agreements with
certain of its employees. The agreements require the Company to pay specified
wages and provide certain benefits to its union employees. These agreements will
expire at various times through 2000.

7.   SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

     The Company's payment obligations under the Senior Subordinated Notes are
jointly and severally guaranteed (the "Subsidiary Guarantees") by all domestic
subsidiaries (Guarantors) of the Company. The following unaudited condensed
consolidating balance sheet, statement of income and statement of cash flows
presents the combined financial statements of the Guarantors and non-guarantor
subsidiaries. Separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning the
Guarantors are not deemed material to investors.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

    This filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on
current plans and expectations of the Company and involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual future activities and results of
operations to be materially different from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to
differ include, among others, risks associated with acquisitions, fluctuations
in operating results because of acquisitions and variations in stock prices,
changes in government regulations, competition, and risks of operations and
growth of the newly acquired businesses.

    Coach USA was founded in September 1995 to create a nationwide provider of
motorcoach and other ground transportation services. On May 17, 1996, Coach USA
acquired, simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the
six Founding Companies. Through the remainder of 1996, and through September 30,
1997, the Company completed the acquisition of several companies, some of which
have been accounted for as poolings-of- interest and some of which have been
accounted for as purchases. As a result, the pro forma combined financial
statements, including the pro forma combined results discussed below, include
the historical financial statements of each of the Founding Companies and the
Company (including the Pooled Companies) for all periods presented at historical
cost, as if these companies had always been members of the same operating group
and give effect to (i) the Compensation Differential; (ii) the elimination of
merger costs related to pooled acquisitions; (iii) certain tax adjustments
related to the taxation of certain Founding Companies and Pooled Companies as S
Corporations prior to the consummation of the mergers of the Founding Companies
and the subsequent acquisitions; and (iv) the tax impact of the Compensation
Differential in each period.

    The Company has begun to realize savings by consolidating certain general
administrative and purchasing functions and reducing insurance expenses. In
addition, the Company has begun to realize savings from its ability to borrow at
lower interest rates than the Founding Companies and the subsequent
acquisitions. These savings are being partially offset by the costs of being a
public company and the incremental increase in costs related to the Company's
new corporate management. Neither these savings nor the costs associated
therewith for the periods prior to the Initial Public Offering have been
included in the pro forma financial information discussed below. As a result,
pro forma results may not be comparable to, or indicative of, future
performance.

    The Company's motorcoach revenues are derived from fares charged to
individual passengers and fees charged under contracts to provide motorcoach
services. Taxicab operation revenues are derived from fees and other services
charged to independent taxicab operators. Operating expenses consist primarily
of salaries and benefits for motorcoach drivers and mechanics, depreciation,
maintenance, fuel, oil, insurance and commissions to agents. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and related benefits
to the owners and certain key employees of the Founding Companies, the Pooled
Companies, and the Purchased Companies, administrative salaries and benefits,
marketing, communications and professional fees.

   The pro forma combined results discussed below occurred when the combined
Founding Companies were under common control and management from June 1, 1996,
and the Pooled and Purchased Companies were under common control from the date
of their respective acquisitions. All other periods reflected were not under
common control or management and may not be comparable to, or indicative of,
future performance.

COMBINED RESULTS FOR THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 1996 COMPARED TO 1997

   Revenues increased by 53.1% and 46.1% to $143.4 million and $354.0 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
increase in revenues was largely due to the revenues of the Purchased Companies
of $47.2 million and $97.1 million, respectively, for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997.

   Operating expenses increased 51.8% and 42.5% to $102.2 million and $260.9
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997. The increase in
operating expenses was the result of the increased operations, including
operations of the Purchased Companies, offset by savings in the Company's
insurance program and parts buying program.

   General and Administrative expenses, after elimination of the Compensation
Differential, and acquisition related costs increased 46.3% and 42.2% as
compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
The increase in general and administrative expenses in the nine month period
ended September 30, 1997 was largely due to the acquisition of the Purchased
Companies and an increase of $2.1 million related to the establishment of the
corporate management group required to execute the acquisition program and to
manage the consolidated group of companies.

   Goodwill and Other Amortization increased $0.8 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily
as a result of the acquisition of the Purchased Companies and the amortization
of deferred offering costs associated with the senior subordinated notes issued
in June 1997.

   Interest expense increased $3.4 million and $5.9 million as compared to the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, due to the higher level of debt
related to additional equipment, debt related to the Purchased Companies and
additional interest costs associated with the senior subordinated notes issued
in June 1997, partially offset by the repayment of debt through the use of
proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, a secondary offering of Coach USA
common stock, and due to lower rates from the credit facility.

      Pro forma combined net income before extraordinary items, which has been
adjusted for the Compensation Differential and the pro forma provision for
taxes, increased during the three and nine months ended September 30,

1997 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily
due to continued revenue growth and the effects of increased purchasing power on
lowering certain costs.

      The historical results discussed below occurred when the combined Founding
Companies were under common control and management from June 1, 1996, and the
Pooled and Purchased Companies were under common control from September 1, 1996.
All other periods reflected were not under common control or management and may
not be comparable to, or indicative of, future performance.

HISTORICAL RESULTS FOR THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED
TO 1997

      Revenues increased by 53.1% and 79.4% to $143.4 million and $354.0 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase in revenues was largely due to
the revenues of the Purchased Companies of $47.2 and $97.1 million, and
incremental increases at certain Pooled Companies.

      Operating expenses increased 51.8% and 78.5% to $102.2 million and $260.9
million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase in operating expenses was
directly related to increased revenues.

      General and Administrative expenses increased 27.0% and 54.9% as compared
to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in general
and administrative expenses in the three and nine month period ended September
30, 1997 was primarily due to the overall increase in operations and the
establishment of the corporate management group required to execute the
acquisition program and to manage the consolidated group of companies.

      Goodwill and Other Amortization increased $.8 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, primarily
as a result of the acquisition of the Purchased Companies and the amortization
of deferred offering costs associated with the senior subordinated notes issued
in June 1997.

      Interest expense increased $6.2 million as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, due to the higher level of debt related to additional
equipment, debt related to the Purchased Companies and additional interest costs
associated with the senior subordinated notes issued in June 1997, partially
offset by the repayment of

debt through the use of proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, a secondary
offering of Coach USA common stock, and due to lower rates from the credit
facility.

      Net income increased during the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 primarily
due to the acquisitions of the Founding Companies and Purchased Companies and
the effects of increased purchasing power on lowering certain costs.

EFFECTS OF COMBINATION

      Effective in the second quarter of 1996, the Company began incurring
expenses, including salaries for members of senior management and administrative
staff, travel and office expenses, related to the establishment of its corporate
and administrative infrastructure. Management believes that these additional
costs will be offset by operational efficiencies achieved through integration of
the operations of these companies. Specifically the Company expects insurance,
financing and benefits efficiencies to be derived as a result of the Company's
acquisition program.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. Capital expenditures net of disposals during
the period totaled $50.5 million. The majority of the capital expenditures were
for the purchase of motorcoach equipment for fleet additions.

      In 1996, the Company completed the Initial Public Offering of 4,140,000
shares of Common Stock and a secondary offering of 2,084,307 shares of Common
Stock, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $96.6 million. The net
proceeds were used to pay the cash portion of the purchase price for the
Founding Companies, repay certain indebtedness assumed by the Company in the
Mergers and to repay amounts owed under the Credit Facility.

      In August 1997, the Company further amended and restated its credit
agreement (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Facility agreement, as amended,
provides for a revolving credit facility of $300 million through a syndicate of
eight banks, and allows for an additional $80 million of debt (other than fully
subordinated debt) outside the credit facility. The Credit Facility is secured
by substantially all of the assets of the Company and matures in August 2000.
Interest on outstanding borrowings is charged, at the Company's option, at the
banks' prime rate plus up to .25% or the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")
plus .50% to 1.75%, both as determined by the ratio of the Company's funded debt
to cash flow (as defined). A commitment fee ranging from 0.15% to 0.375% is
payable on the unused portion of the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the
Credit Facility, the Company must maintain certain minimum financial ratios. The
Credit Facility prohibits the payment of cash dividends. As of November 4, 1997,
the Company had a total of $133.1 million outstanding under the Credit Facility
and other outside credit facilities and had utilized $10.6 million of the
facility for letters of credit securing certain insurance obligations and
performance bonds, resulting in a borrowing availability of $236.3 million under
the Credit Facility.

      In June 1997, the Company completed the sale of $150.0 million aggregate
principal amount 93/8% senior subordinated notes due 2007. The net proceeds from
the offering were used to repay amounts owed under the Credit Facility.

      Management believes that the Company's revolving credit facility, its cash
flows from operations, and shares of Common Stock available under its shelf
registration statement will provide sufficient liquidity or acquisition currency
to execute the Company's acquisition and internal growth plans for the next
twelve months. Should the Company accelerate its acquisition program, the
Company may need to seek additional financing through the public or private sale
of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company could
secure such financing if and when it is needed or on terms the Company deems
acceptable.
