                       Report of Independent Accountants


December 2, 1999


To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Pacer International, Inc.


In our opinion, the accompanying combined balance sheet, and the related
combined statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Conex
Global Logistics Services, Inc., MSL Transportation Group, Inc. and Jupiter
Freight, Inc. (together, the "Company") as of December 31, 1998, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   The Company

     Conex Global Logistics Services, Inc. ("Conex"), MSL Transportation Group,
     Inc. ("MSL"), and Jupiter Freight, Inc. ("Jupiter") (together, the
     "Company") operate as interrelated freight service companies and are
     controlled by the same stockholders.  The Company's business consists of
     (1) intermodal marketing, which involves the provision of logistics
     services by coordinating the transportation of goods by truck and rail, (2)
     specialized trucking services, including drayage, and (3) other
     transportation services, such as freight consolidation, handling and a
     bonded container freight station.  The services are primarily provided in
     the United States, with occasional movements to Canada and Mexico.


2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Principles of Combination

     The combined financial statements of the Company include all accounts of
     Conex, MSL and Jupiter.  All material intercompany amounts and transactions
     have been eliminated.

     Interim Financial Information

     The interim financial data as of September 30, 1999 and for the nine months
     ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 is unaudited; however, in
     the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes all adjustments,
     consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
     statement of the results of the interim periods.

     Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
     financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
     during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an
     original maturity of three months or less.


The accompanying notes are an integral part of these combined financial
statements.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Marketable Equity Securities

     Marketable equity securities are classified as available for sale, and are
     reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from
     earnings and reported as other comprehensive income in the accompanying
     statement of stockholders' equity.  Realized gains or losses have been
     computed using the specific identification method.

     Accounts Receivable

     Trade accounts receivable are reflected net of allowances for doubtful
     accounts of $883,296 and $677,356 at December 31, 1998 and September 30,
     1999 (unaudited), respectively.

     Property, Plant and Equipment

     Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  For assets financed
     under capital leases, the present value of the future minimum lease

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

     Reliance on Independent Contractors

     The Company relies upon the services of independent contractors for
     underlying transportation services for their customers.  Contracts with
     independent contractors are, in most cases, terminable upon short notice by
     either party.  Although the Company believes its relationships with
     independent contractors are good, there can be no assurance that the
     Company will continue to be successful in retaining and recruiting
     independent contractors or that independent contractors who terminate their
     contracts can be replaced by equally qualified persons.

     Dependence on Railroads and Equipment and Service Availability

     The Company is dependent upon the major railroads in the United States for
     substantially all of the intermodal services provided by the Company.  In
     many markets rail services are limited to a few railroads or even a single
     railroad.  Consequently, a reduction in or elimination of rail service to a
     particular market is likely to adversely affect the Company's ability to
     provide intermodal transportation services to some of the Company's
     customers.  Furthermore, significant rate increases, work stoppage or
     adverse weather conditions can impact the railroads and therefore the
     Company's ability to provide cost-effective services to its customers.

     In addition, the Company is dependent in part on the availability of rail,
     truck and ocean services provided by independent third parties.  If the
     Company were unable to secure sufficient equipment or other transportation
     services to meet its customers' needs, its results of operations could be
     materiality adversely affected on a temporary or permanent basis.

     Concentration of Business on Intermodal Marketing

     Significant portions of the Company's revenues are derived from intermodal
     marketing.  As a result, a decrease in demand for intermodal transportation
     services relative to other transportation services could have a material
     adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

statements.

     Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration
     of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable.  The Company sells
     its services primarily on 21-day terms, performs credit evaluation
     procedures on its customers, and generally does not require collateral.
     The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts.

     The following summarizes, with respect to significant customers,  the
     accounts receivable balances at December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999
     and 1998 and sales activity for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
     nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998:

     The Company maintains its cash accounts in commercial banks, money market
     accounts and certificates of deposit.  As of December 31, 1998, the Company
     had cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
     ("FDIC") limit of $100,000 per institution.  However, the Company does not
     anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

     Financial Instruments

     The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivables and accounts payable
     approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
     Other fair value disclosures are in the respective notes.

     Revenue Recognition

     Revenues and related expenses for trucking, warehousing and transloading
     are recognized upon completion of the Company's services.  Rail intermodal
     income and expense are recognized at order placement.

Pacer International, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Set forth below is certain unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
information for our company which gives effect to our original recapitalization
and acquisition of Pacer Logistics and  our current acquisition of certain
assets of Conex Global Logistics Services, Inc., MSL Transportation Group, Inc.
and Jupiter Freight, Inc. (collectively "Conex") pursuant to a purchase
agreement dated December 31, 1999 (the "Purchase Agreement"). The Unaudited Pro
Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 17, 1999 gives effect to the
acquisition of Conex assets as if it  had occurred at September 17, 1999 and
includes the actual results of our recapitalization and acquisition of Pacer
Logistics as they were completed May 28, 1999.   The Unaudited Pro Forma
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 25, 1998 and
the nine  months ended September 17, 1999, give effect to our original
recapitalization and the Pacer Logistics acquisition  using the purchase method
of accounting for the Pacer Logistics transaction and the acquisition of Conex
assets, as if our recapitalization,  the Pacer Logistics acquisition and the
acquisition of Conex assets had occurred at the beginning of the first period
presented. The historical financial data for September 17, 1999 and the nine
months then ended has been derived from Pacer International's unaudited
financial statements and include, in the opinion of our management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the data for such period. The financial data for September 30,
1999 and the nine months then ended has been derived from Conex's unaudited
financial statements and include, in the opinion of Conex's management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the data for such period.

The results of operations and balance sheet data for Conex have period ending
dates of December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1999.  No adjustment has been made
to conform to Pacer International's period ending dates of December 25, 1998 and
September 17, 1999 due to immateriality.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments, as described in the notes to the unaudited
pro forma consolidated financial statements, are based on available information
and upon certain assumptions that management believes are reasonable. The
purchase of Pacer Logistics and the acquisition of Conex assets has been
reflected based on preliminary estimates of fair values, which may be updated
based on final appraisals and other estimates of fair value.

Management does not claim or represent that the unaudited pro forma consolidated
statement of operations information nor the unaudited pro forma consolidated
balance sheet data set forth below is indicative of the results of operations or
financial position that would have been reported had the transactions actually
occurred at the beginning of the period presented nor is it indicative of our
future results. There can be no assurance that the assumptions used in the
preparation of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information, which
we believe to be appropriate in the circumstances, will prove to be correct. The
unaudited pro forma consolidated information should be read in conjunction with
the historical consolidated financial statements of Pacer International and
notes thereto and the audited historical financial statements of Conex included
in this filing.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these unaudited pro forma
financial statements.

</TABLE>

(i)  Reflects the elimination of the gain on sale associated with assets not
     being acquired.

The following notes relate to the pro forma statements of operations for Pacer
International's acquisition of Pacer Logistics. The acquisition was completed on
May 28, 1999 and therefore the pro forma adjustments for the nine months ended
September 17, 1999 reflect the first five months of 1999 as actual results
are included in the statement of operations since May 28, 1999.

(j)  Represents amounts derived from the historical audited statement of
     operations of Pacer International, Inc. for the year ended December 25,
     1998. Prior to the consummation of our recapitalization, Pacer
     International was known as APL Land Transport Services, Inc. Prior to
     November 1998, Pacer International operated as the American President Lines
     Stacktrain Services, a division of APL Land Transport Services, Inc. For
     the nine months ended September 17, 1999 amounts were derived from the
     unaudited statement of operations of Pacer International, Inc. and includes
     the results of Pacer Logistics since the date of acquisition.

(k)  Represents amounts derived from the historical audited consolidated
     statement of operations of Pacer Logistics, Inc. for the year ended
     December 31, 1998. Prior to the consummation of the acquisition of Pacer
     Logistics, Pacer Logistics, Inc. was known as Pacer International, Inc. For
     the pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September
     17, 1999, amounts represent the results of operations from January 1, 1999
     through May 31, 1999. The results of operations for the period from the
     acquisition date of May 28, 1999 until May 31, 1999 were immaterial and no
     adjustment has been made to include them in the results of Pacer
     International, Inc.

(l)  On April 20, 1999, Pacer Logistics acquired certain assets of the Keystone
     companies and as part of the acquisition of the Manufacturers
     Consolidation Service companies in December 1998, Pacer Logistics initiated
     a plan of employee reductions resulting in annual cost savings of $900,000.
     To reflect the pro forma effect of this acquisition and cost reductions on
     Pacer Logistics' operations, the schedule below presents the unaudited
     historical statement of operations of the Keystone companies, for the
     period January 1, 1999 to April 20, 1999, along with applicable pro forma
     adjustments for the Keystone Terminals acquisition and the impact of cost
     savings from the Manufacturers Consolidation Service companies' employee
     reductions.
