                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 For the Three Months Ended September 30, 1996
                                  (unaudited)


Note 1.  The information furnished herein has been prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of the
         management of Emons Transportation Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Emons
         Transportation Group"), all adjustments (which include only normal
         recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present a fair statement
         of the results for the periods covered by this report have been made.

Note 2.  Earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the
         weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
         for the period. Earnings per common share for the three month periods
         ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 does not include conversion of
         convertible preferred stock because the effect of such inclusion would
         be anti-dilutive.

Note 3.  Emons Transportation Group is not currently a party to any legal
         proceedings.  However, Emons Industries, Inc. ("Industries"), a
         subsidiary of the Company, is currently a defendant in 551 product
         liability actions.  The Company is in the process of cleaning up a fuel
         oil leak at its locomotive maintenance facility in York, Pennsylvania.

         Product Liability Actions
         -------------------------

         Prior to March 1971, under previous management, Industries (then known
         as Amfre-Grant, Inc.) was engaged in the business of distributing (but
         not manufacturing) various generic and prescription drugs. Industries
         sold and discontinued these business activities in March 1971 and
         commenced its railcar leasing and railroad operations in October 1971.
         One of the drugs which had been distributed was diethylstilbestrol
         ("DES"), which was taken by women during pregnancy to prevent
         miscarriage.

         As of September 30, 1996, Industries was one of numerous defendants
         (including many of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturers) in 551
         lawsuits in which the plaintiffs allege that DES caused adenosis,
         infertility, cancer or birth defects in the offspring or grandchildren
         of women who ingested DES during pregnancy. In these actions, liability
         is premised on the defendant's participation in the market for DES, and
         liability is several and limited to the defendant's share of the
         market. Of these lawsuits, 545 were commenced after the confirmation of
         Industries' Reorganization Plan in December 1986 (the "Plan"), while
         the remaining 6 lawsuits are claims which will be treated under the
         Plan. In one action, Industries is allegedly identified as the sole
         defendant. These actions are currently in various stages of litigation.

         Industries has filed a motion in Bankruptcy Court seeking a judgment
         declaring that the 545 post-confirmation lawsuits represent claims
         which should be asserted against Industries' Chapter 11 estate and are
         not post-reorganization liabilities. In November 1994, the Bankruptcy
         Court, in the context of a motion for a preliminary injunction, held
         that it was likely that Industries would prevail on the merits of this
         claim. Counsel has advised the Company that the Bankruptcy Court should
         grant Industries' application to classify all of these cases as
         bankruptcy claims. In addition, on February 14, 1995, the Bankruptcy
         Court advised Industries that it would sign an order which would stay
         execution of any judgment rendered against Industries pending
         determination of Indus-

                                       5

         tries' application. The order, which was submitted to the Court in
         March 1995, has not yet been signed.

         Industries has product liability insurance and defense coverage for
         nearly all the claims which fall within the policy period 1948 to 1970
         up to varying limits by individual and in the aggregate for each policy
         year. To date, Industries has not exhausted insurance coverage in any
         policy year. During the period July 1, 1996 through September 30, 1996,
         6 lawsuits were settled or dismissed at no material liability to
         Industries.

         Management intends to vigorously defend all of these actions. In the
         event that the post-reorganization lawsuits described above are not
         treated under the Plan, it is possible that Industries could ultimately
         have liability in these actions in excess of its product liability
         insurance coverage described above. However, based on Industries'
         experience in prior DES litigation, including the proceedings before
         the Bankruptcy Court, and its current knowledge of pending cases, the
         Company believes that it is unlikely that Industries' ultimate
         liability, if any, in excess of insurance coverage and existing
         reserves in the pending cases will be in an amount sufficient to have a
         material adverse effect upon the Company's consolidated financial
         position or results of operations.


         Environmental Liability
         -----------------------

         During fiscal 1994, the Company discovered a diesel fuel oil leak at
         its locomotive maintenance facility in York, Pennsylvania resulting
         from the fueling of its locomotives. The Company is currently working
         with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to clean
         up the contaminated area. Based upon information currently available,
         the Company believes it has provided adequate reserves as of September
         30, 1996 for the estimated clean up costs.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                      ------------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's primary sources of liquidity include its cash and accounts
receivable, which aggregated $3,776,000 and $3,670,000 at September 30, 1996 and
June 30, 1996, respectively, and the remaining balance under a $750,000 Senior
Secured Term Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") issued by a local bank to a
subsidiary.  The Company borrowed an additional $225,000 under this Agreement in
August 1996 to finance the acquisition of locomotives for the York, PA
operations, leaving a $325,000 remaining balance available which may be borrowed
through June 30, 1997.  The Company intends to use the balance remaining under
this Agreement to finance other projects to generate additional business and for
other business opportunities which may arise.

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $59,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1996.  The net increase includes $494,000 of
cash provided by operations, and $596,000 of additional net borrowings, offset
by $1,021,000 of capital investments.

     The Company generated $494,000 of cash from operations for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $1,112,000 for the corresponding
period in the prior year.  Excluding changes in assets and liabilities, cash
provided by operations increased from $564,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to $587,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
Cash was reduced by $93,000 for changes in assets and liabilities in the three
months ended September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of a reduction in
accounts payable and accrued expenses during the quarter.

     The Company invested $1,021,000 in capital expenditures during the first
three months of fiscal 1997, including $776,000 of investments in railroad track
structures (net of $330,000 of government grants) in connection with the
Company's continuing extensive track rehabilitation program, and a $224,000
investment in four locomotives for the York, PA operations.  As of September 30,
1996, the Company has approximately $1 million of government grants for track
rehabilitation projects and almost $800,000 of government funding under no and
low interest loan programs for future track rehabilitation projects.

     The Company's long-term debt obligations increased $596,000 during the
three month period ended September 30, 1996 including $261,000 of scheduled debt
repayments offset by $857,000 of additional borrowings.  Additional borrowings
include $225,000 of borrowings under the $750,000 Senior Secured Term Loan to
finance the acquisition of four locomotives for the York, PA operations, and
$632,000 of borrowings under government funded no and low interest loan track
rehabilitation programs.


Analysis of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 1996
     compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995

     Results of Operations

     The Company generated net income of $176,000 for the three month period
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to net income of $218,000 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1995.  Excluding a $60,000 gain on sale of
property recorded in the first quarter of the prior year, income before income
taxes totaled $289,000 for both the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and the
corresponding quarter in the prior year.  Operating revenues and operating
expenses increased $244,000 and $267,000, respectively, over the prior year,
while interest ex-

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
pense decreased $20,000 from the prior year. The provision for income taxes
decreased $18,000 from the prior year.

     Revenues

     Operating revenues increased $244,000, or 6.6%, from $3,686,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 to $3,930,000 for the corresponding period
in the current year. This increase consists of $192,000 additional freight and
haulage revenues (excluding intermodal freight), $29,000 additional logistics
revenues, $50,000 additional intermodal freight and handling revenues, and
$27,000 less other operating revenues.

     Freight and haulage revenues increased $192,000, or 7.5%, consisting of an
11% increase in the number of carloads handled partially offset by a 3% decrease
in average revenues per carload.  The total number of carloads handled increased
approximately 1,000 carloads from 8,700 for the three months ended September 30,
1995 to 9,700 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The net increase
includes 200 additional agricultural carloads in York, PA resulting from local
supply conditions, 115 additional carloads generated by continued growth in the
Company's logistics operations in York, PA, 55 carloads relating to a new local
oil move on the St. Lawrence & Atlantic Railroad ("SLR"), 700 additional bridge
carloads in York, PA, and a net increase in a variety of other business.  These
increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately 175 paper related
carloads on SLR as a result of lost business due to customers using alternative
pulpwood supply sources and routings.  The 3% decrease in average revenues per
carload is attributable to mix of business which includes a greater percentage
of bridge carloads handled by York, PA operations during the current quarter
which are generally at lower rates.

     Logistics revenues generated by the Company's operations in York, PA
increased $29,000, or 9.6%, for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the prior year quarter.  This increase includes a 19% net increase in the
number of railcars handled including additional building products transfer
business at the Company's new lumber transload and storage facility, paper
transfer and storage business, and bulk products transfer business, partially
offset by a decrease in cross dock canned goods transfer and truck brokerage
business.  In addition, freight and haulage revenues generated by the Company's
logistics operations increased by over $40,000 from the prior year.

     The Company's rail intermodal terminal, which commenced operations on SLR
in September 1994, generated an additional $50,000 of freight and intermodal
handling revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the
corresponding quarter in the prior year.  Intermodal volume increased by
approximately 1,100 trailers and containers, or 48%, from 2,250 trailers and
containers during the three month period ended September 30, 1995 to 3,350
trailers and containers during the three months ended September 30, 1996.

     Other operating revenues decreased $27,000 in the current quarter as
compared to the prior year as a result of a decrease in demurrage revenues,
partially offset by increases in railcar storage and other miscellaneous
operating revenues.

     The $56,000 decrease in interest and other non-operating income is
attributable to a $60,000 gain on the sale of non-essential real estate in the
prior year.

     Expenses

     Operating expenses increased $267,000, or 8.5%, from $3,144,000 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1995 to $3,411,000 for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996.  The increase consists of $190,000 additional
cost of operations and $77,000 additional selling and administrative expenses.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     Cost of operations increased $190,000, or 7.7%, from $2,486,000 for the
three month period ended September 30, 1995 to $2,676,000 for the corresponding
period in the current year.  The increase includes $151,000 additional railroad
operating expenses and $32,000 additional intermodal operating expenses, while
total logistics operating expenses remained at approximately the same level in
the current year quarter as compared to the prior year quarter.

     The increase in railroad operating expenses of $151,000 is primarily
attributable to additional transportation expenses associated with the increased
level of business and, to a lesser extent, additional locomotive maintenance
expenses required on SLR in the current year.  The increase in transportation
expenses includes additional labor and benefits, railcar rental, and
subcontracted transload fees associated with a new local oil move on SLR, and
general cost increases, partially offset by a reduction in car hire expenses in
conjunction with the decrease in demurrage revenues.

     While total logistics operating expenses remained at approximately the same
level in the current year as compared to the prior year, the mix of expenses
changed in conjunction with the mix in business.  Property rent increased
approximately $50,000 as a result of the increase in paper warehousing, while
brokered freight expense decreased approximately $40,000 as a result of a
reduction in canned goods cross dock business which requires truck brokering
services.  Other general cost increases associated with the increased level of
business were offset by a $32,000 one time charge recorded last year for the
relocation of a warehouse operation in York, PA.

     Rail intermodal operating expenses increased $32,000 primarily due to
additional fees paid to the independent rail intermodal terminal operator as a
result of the 48% volume increase over the prior year.

     Selling and administrative expenses increased $77,000, or 11.8%, from
$658,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $735,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1996.  The net increase includes additional salaries and
wages as a result of the addition of a new New England Business Unit Vice
President and wage adjustments, and additional professional fees incurred to
pursue potential business opportunities.  These increases were partially offset
by a reduction in the provision for profit sharing and incentive compensation in
the current year.

     Interest expense decreased $20,000 for the three month period ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the prior year despite an increase in the
amount of long-term debt outstanding due to the mix of debt which includes a
greater amount of no and low interest government trackwork loans in the current
year as compared to the prior year.

     The provision for income taxes decreased $18,000 from $131,000 for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 to $113,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 as a result of the $60,000 decrease in income before income taxes.
