</TABLE>

         The consideration paid by the Company for the Acquired Companies was
determined through arms-length negotiations among the Company and the
representatives of the stockholders of the Acquired Companies. The factors
considered by the parties in determining the purchase price include, among
other things, the historical operating results and the future prospects of the
Acquired Companies.

         The Company paid approximately $33.6 million as aggregate
consideration for these Acquired Companies, consisting of $24.3 million in
cash, and 1,090,560 shares of Common Stock. In addition, in certain instances,
additional cash consideration may be paid by the Company if such acquired
businesses obtain certain performance goals. Based on each of the Acquired
Company's most recent annual (or annualized, in certain instances) historical
operating results, and as adjusted for certain pro forma items such as changes
in owners' compensation, these [twelve] acquired businesses have annual
combined revenues of approximately $52.4 million and earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization of approximately $6.3 million.

         Each of the above referenced acquisitions is being accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, each Acquired Company is
included in the Company's consolidated results of operations from the date of
its respective acquisition.

         The Company is currently integrating the Acquired Companies into the
Company's operating environment. Each Acquired Company has been assigned to the
appropriate regional division of the Company. A manager of each Acquired
Company has continued to manage such operations after the consummation of the
respective acquisition and has been appointed a branch manager. Management is
training the staff of the Acquired Companies so that each branch will be able
to provide and market the full range of Company services. As soon as
practicable and where appropriate, the Company will assimilate each Acquired
Company's accounting, payroll and cash management functions, standardize its
insurance coverage and employee benefits and supplement or replace the use of
the Acquired Company's trade name with "Dynamex."

         In August 1997, the Company sold the assets of its logistics division
known as LogisTechs Worldwide ("LTI") to a division of Choice Courier Systems,
Inc. Additionally, in August 1997, the Company amended and restated its secured
revolving credit facility to expand such facility to $75.0 million from $40.0
million and make certain other modifications. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations".

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

         The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
information contained in the financial statements, including the notes thereto,
and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus
Supplement and in the Prospectus dated November 14, 1996 and the Prospectus
Supplements thereto dated February 7, 1997, March 11, 1997 and May 21, 1997.
The following discussion specifically relates to the three-month and nine-month
periods ended April 30, 1997. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Conditions and Results of Operations for the fiscal years ended July 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 appears in the Prospectus dated November 14, 1996.

A.       MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

         For the nine months ended April 30, 1997 the Company's pro forma
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") was
approximately $7.5 million as compared to $5.1 million for the same period one
year earlier. This increase reflects the additional cash flow resulting from
the acquisitions made during the past twelve months and the increased sales and
improved profitability from the Company's existing operations.

         Net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering the ("IPO")
which was consummated in August 1996, were approximately $21.4 million.
Approximately $8.4 million of this amount was utilized to consummate certain
acquisitions at the time of the IPO and the balance was utilized to reduce
long-term debt.

         Subsequent to the IPO, the Company completed twelve acquisitions with
total consideration of approximately $33.6 million, consisting of $24.3 million
in cash and $9.3 million in the form of the Company's common stock (1,090,560
shares). Based on each of these acquired company's most recent annual (or
annualized, in certain instances) historical operating results, and adjusted
for certain pro forma items such as changes in owners' compensation, these
twelve businesses have combined annual revenues of approximately $52.4 million
and EBITDA of approximately $6.3 million.

         The cash portion of the Post-IPO Acquisitions has been funded from
internally generated cash and proceeds from the Company's revolving credit
facility.

         On August 26, 1997, the Company amended and restated its secured
revolving credit facility. This credit facility consists of a revolving note of
up to $75.0 million with interest payable quarterly at the prime rate or
certain other rate options, as same may be modified based on the Company's
compliance with certain financial rations. The credit facility terminates on
August 31, 2000. As of September 5, 1997, amounts outstanding under the
Company's revolving credit facility were approximately $32.0 million.

         The Company anticipates utilizing its cash flow from operations,
proceeds from its revolving credit facility and the issuance of additional
shares of its common stock to complete additional acquisitions in the coming
months. The aggregate size of the acquisitions made subsequent to the IPO and
the pace of these acquisitions has been greater than management originally
anticipated. The Company anticipates that its recently expanded credit
facility, as well as cash flow from operations, will provide adequate capital
to fund its acquisition program for the next 12 to 15 months. However, even
with this expanded credit facility, should the rate and size of future
acquisitions continue consistently with recent activity, the Company may be
forced to seek additional sources of capital. Such sources of additional
capital might include the issuance of debt or equity securities or additional
bank borrowings. There is no assurance that such sources of capital will be
available to the Company or that they will be available on terms acceptable to
the Company. Accordingly, the Company's acquisition and expansion program could
be negatively affected by these factors.

B.       MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         In December 1995, the Company acquired the ground courier operations
of Mayne Nickless (the "Mayne Nickless Acquisition") which resulted in the
Company gaining operations in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle,
Vancouver, Pittsburgh, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore. In August 1996,
concurrently with the closing of its IPO, the Company completed five
acquisitions (the "IPO Acquisitions") with operations in Winnipeg, Halifax,
Chicago, Columbus, Ohio, and New York. All of these acquisitions have been
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Therefore, the results
of operations of the acquired companies are included with those of the Company
as of the date of the acquisition.

         The pro forma results of operations present the results of operations
of the Company as if the Mayne Nickless Acquisition and the IPO Acquisitions
had occurred as of the beginning of the period presented and as if the IPO had
occurred as of July 31, 1996.

         Subsequent to the IPO and through April 30, 1997, the Company
completed ten additional acquisitions with operations in New York, San Diego,
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Regina, Saskatchewan, Dallas and Richmond, Virginia
(the "Post-IPO Acquisitions"). Each of these acquisitions has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting. Therefore, the results of
operations of the businesses are included with those of the Company from the
date of acquisition.

         The following table sets forth certain items from the Company's
consolidated statements of operations expressed as a percentage of sales:

Three months ended April 30, 1996 vs. three months ended April 30, 1997.

         Sales increased $13,001,000 (61.5%) during the 1997 period due
primarily to the Mayne Nickless Acquisition which occurred in December 1995,
the IPO Acquisitions and the Post-IPO Acquisitions. Sales from the Post-IPO
Acquisitions were approximately $6,000,000 during the 1997 period.

         Cost of sales increased $8,067,000 (55.9%) during the 1997 period,
reflecting the Mayne Nickless, IPO and Post-IPO Acquisitions. As a percentage
of sales, such amounts decreased from 68.2% to 65.9% during the 1997 period.
This change reflects the higher gross profit of the Mayne Nickless, IPO
Acquisition and Post-IPO Acquisition companies. The business of those
operations consisted almost entirely of "on-demand" services. These services




                                      S-5
<PAGE>   6


generally have a higher gross margin than the "scheduled" or "fleet management"
services which comprised a larger portion of the business mix for the
historical operations of the Company.

           Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3,170,000
(61.0%) during the 1997 period due to costs associated with the Mayne Nickless,
IPO Acquisitions and Post-IPO Acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, these
expenses decreased slightly from 24.6% in the 1996 period to 24.5% during the
1997 period. The increase in absolute amounts reflects the higher
administrative costs associated with "on-demand" services, as well as increased
corporate costs associated with the Company's growth and the increased
reporting and other obligations attendant to the Company's status as a public
corporation. The decrease as a percent of sales reflects spreading certain
fixed costs over a larger revenue base. In addition, other costs were
eliminated through the consolidation of administrative and support functions in
certain branches.

           Depreciation and amortization increased both in absolute terms, by
$533,000 (114.9%) in the 1997 period, and as a percentage of sales, from 2.2%
in the 1996 period to 2.9% in the 1997 period. These increases result from
depreciation of assets acquired with the acquisitions discussed above,
including intangible assets such as goodwill.

         Interest expense decreased $238,000 (40.8%) in the 1997 period due to
the retirement of a portion of outstanding debt in August 1996 with proceeds of
the IPO. Therefore, as percentage of sales, interest expense decreased from
2.8% in the 1996 period to 1.0% in the 1997 period. This decrease was offset to
some extent by additional borrowings related to Post-IPO Acquisitions.


Pro forma three months ended April 30, 1996 to three months ended 
April 30, 1997.

           Sales increased $7,741,000 (29.3%) in the 1997 period due primarily
to the Post-IPO Acquisitions and increased sales to regional and national
accounts in Canada.

           Cost of sales increased $4,704,000 (26.4%) in the 1997 period due
primarily to the above increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, cost of
sales decreased from 67.4% in the 1996 period to 65.9% in the 1997 period. This
decrease results primarily from the effect of a high proportion of higher gross
margin "on-demand" business during the 1997 period due to the Post-IPO
Acquisitions.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,985,000
(31.1%) in the 1997 period, due to costs associated with increased sales,
including those from the Post-IPO Acquisitions, and increased costs in the 1997
quarter related to the Company's public company status. As a percentage of
sales, such costs increased from 24.2% in the 1996 period to 24.5% in the 1997
period.

         Depreciation and amortization increased $460,000 (85.7%) in the 1997
period, due to the effect of amortization of costs related to the Post-IPO
Acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, depreciation and amortization increased
from 2.0% in the 1996 period to 2.9% in the 1997 period.

         Interest expense decreased in absolute terms by $262,000 (43.2%) in
the 1997 period and as a percentage of sales, from 2.3% in the 1996 period to
1.0% in the 1997 period. This decrease results from the reduction of
outstanding debt with a portion of the proceeds of the IPO and from lower
interest rates associated with the Company's amended bank credit facility. The
decrease was offset by some extent by the effect of increased borrowings
related to the Post-IPO Acquisitions.

Nine months ended April 30, 1996 vs. nine months ended April 30, 1997.

           Sales increased $40,986,000 (81.9%) in the 1997 period due primarily
to the Mayne Nickless, IPO and Post-IPO Acquisitions. Sales from the Post-IPO
Acquisitions were approximately $8,780,000 during the 1997 period.

           Cost of sales increased $25,521,000 (72.8%) in the 1997 period,
reflecting the Mayne Nickless, IPO and Post-IPO Acquisitions. As a percentage
of sales, such amounts decreased from 70.1% in the 1996 period to 66.6% in the
1997 period. This change reflects the higher gross profit of the Mayne
Nickless, IPO Acquisition and Post-IPO Acquisition companies. The business of
those operations consisted almost entirely of "on-demand" services. These


                                      S-6

services generally have a higher gross margin than the "scheduled" or "fleet
management" services which comprised a larger portion of the business mix for
the historical operations of the Company.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $10,540,000
(85.1%) in the 1997 period due to costs associated with the Mayne Nickless, IPO
Acquisitions and Post-IPO Acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, these
expenses increased from 24.8% in the 1996 period to 25.2% in the 1997 period.
This reflects the higher administrative costs associated with "on-demand"
services, as well as increased corporate costs associated with the Company's
growth and status as a public corporation. This increase was offset by the
elimination of certain administrative costs associated with revenue from
certain unprofitable business in Western Canada and Arizona which was
discontinued. In addition, other costs were eliminated through the
consolidation of administrative and support functions in certain branches.

         Depreciation and amortization increased both in absolute terms,
$1,448,000 (135.8%) in the 1997 period, and as a percentage of sales, from 2.1%
in the 1996 period to 2.8% in the 1997 period. These increases result from
depreciation of assets acquired with the acquisitions discussed above,
including intangible assets such as goodwill.

         Interest expense decreased $226,000 (20.9%) in the 1997 period, due to
the retirement of a portion of outstanding debt in August 1996 with proceeds of
the IPO. Therefore, as percentage of sales, interest expense decreased from
2.2% in the 1996 period to 0.9% in the 1997 period. This decrease was offset to
some extent by additional borrowings related to Post-IPO Acquisitions.

         Results of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 include
an extraordinary charge of $335,000, net of income taxes, resulting from the
early retirement of the Company's Junior Subordinated Debentures concurrently
with the IPO.

Pro forma nine months ended April 30, 1996 vs. pro forma nine months ended
April 30, 1997.

         Sales increased $14,513,000 (18.8%) in the 1997 period due primarily
to the Post-IPO Acquisitions and increased sales to regional and national
accounts in Canada. The increase from these additional sales was affected by a
decline in revenues of approximately $1,600,000 in Western Canada and Arizona
due to the discontinuation of certain unprofitable business in these areas. The
increase in sales in the 1997 period was in spite of generally lower levels of
business activity in late December and early January due to the Christmas and
New Year's holidays falling in the middle of a week.

         Cost of sales increased $9,436,000 (18.3%) in the 1997 period due
primarily to the above increase in sales. As a percentage of sales, cost of
sales decreased slightly from 66.8% in the 1996 period to 66.5%in the 1997
period. This minor change results from the change in product mix between
relative high gross margin "on-demand" services and the relative lower gross
margin "scheduled" and "fleet management" services.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,647,000
(12.9%) in the 1997 period, due to costs associated with increased sales,
including sales from the Post-IPO Acquisitions, and increased costs in the 1997
quarter related to the Company's public company status. The increase was offset
by the elimination of certain administrative costs associated with revenue from
certain unprofitable business in Western Canada and Arizona which was
discontinued as well as the elimination of other costs through the
consolidation of administrative and support services in certain branches. As a
percentage of sales, however, such costs decreased from 26.6% in the 1996
period to 25.2% in the 1997 period. The decrease as a percentage of sales
reflects spreading certain fixed costs over a larger revenue base.

         Depreciation and amortization increased $693,000 (37.7%) in the 1997
period due to the effect of amortization of costs related to the Post-IPO
Acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, depreciation and amortization increased
from 2.4% in the 1996 period to 2.8% in the 1997 period.

         Interest expense decreased in absolute terms by $903,000 (54.0%) in
the 1997 period and as a percentage of sales, from 2.2% in the 1996 period to
0.8% in the 1997 period. This decrease results from the reduction of
outstanding debt with a portion of the proceeds of the IPO and from lower
interest rates associated with the Company's amended bank credit facility. The
decrease was offset to some extent by the effect of increased borrowings
related to the Post-IPO Acquisitions.

DYNAMEX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim 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 thus do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

         The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements
of Operations present the comparative results of operations for the nine months
ended April 30, 1997 as if the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") and
five acquisitions closed concurrently with the IPO ("IPO Acquisitions") had
occurred as of the beginning of that period. Consequently, the results of
operations for this period include the issuance of 173,485 shares of common
stock as partial consideration for the IPO Acquisitions and the issuance of
2,990,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the IPO. The accompanying
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations presents the comparative
results of operations for the nine and three month periods ended April 30, 1997
as if the acquisition of the on-demand, ground courier operations of Mayne
Nickless and the IPO Acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of that
period. Consequently, the results of operations for these periods include the
issuance of 173,485 shares of common stock and the issuance of 1,134,000 shares
of common stock pursuant to the IPO, the proceeds from such shares being used
to finance the cash portion of the IPO Acquisitions. In addition, the Pro Forma
results of operations have been adjusted to reflect the effect of changes to
certain components of costs and expenses. These items include adjustments to
compensation to owners and managers of the IPO Acquired Companies to reflect
agreed upon compensation levels subsequent to the acquisition by the Company,
adjustments to rental expense to reflect agreed upon modifications to lease
agreements to be effective subsequent to the acquisition by the Company and
adjustments to certain corporate overhead, other costs and expenses which are
not ongoing costs of the businesses acquired and would not have been incurred
had the acquisitions by the Company occurred at the beginning of the period.
Each of the above mentioned acquisitions has been accounted for under the
purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the total purchase price, including
transaction costs, has been allocated to the assets and liabilities of the
acquired businesses based on their estimated fair value.

         The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows give additional effect to the issuance of the balance of shares of common
stock issued in connection with the IPO, the application of the proceeds
thereof and the mandatory exercise of the bridge warrants simultaneously
therewith.

         The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of actual results
which might have occurred had the operations of the Company and the acquired
businesses been combined at the beginning of the periods presented.

         The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at July 31, 1996 has been
derived from the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1996. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

offering price of $8.00 per share, less underwriters' discount and offering
costs. In September 1996, the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment
option pursuant to which the Company issued an additional 390,000 shares of
common stock, also at the offering price of $8.00 per share, less underwriters'
discount.

         Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company issued options

Company acquired Regina Mail Marketing, Inc., which operates in Regina
Saskatchewan, for $1,200,000 in cash and 22,400 shares of common stock. In May
1997, the Company acquired Road Runner Transportation Inc., which has

$11,200,000 in cash and 350,000 shares of common stock. In August 1997, the

of Central Delivery of Washington, Inc. for approximately $500,000 in cash.
