                       ANUHCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   Principles of Consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements include Anuhco and all of its
subsidiary companies ("the Company").  All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The condensed
financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and have
not been examined or reviewed by independent public accountants.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
results of operations have been made.

  Pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
from these statements unless significant changes have taken place since the
end of the most recent fiscal year.  Anuhco believes that the disclosures
contained herein, when read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes included, or incorporated by reference, in Anuhco's Form 10-K, filed
with the SEC on March 2, 1994, are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading.  It is suggested, therefore, that these statements be read in
conjunction with the statements and notes included, or incorporated by
reference, in the aforementioned report on Form 10-K.

2.   Income Taxes

  During the first quarter of 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS
109").  SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets, net of
applicable reserve, related to net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and
certain temporary differences.  Although the Company has NOL carryforwards
and temporary differences in excess of $35 million, no asset recognition is
provided in these consolidated financial statements, as the realization of
such an asset within the next several years is not reasonably assured based
on the information currently available to the Company.  Such an asset may be
recognized in future periods based upon the facts and circumstances at that
time.

3.   Profit Sharing

  In September 1988, the employees of Crouse Cartage Company ("Crouse
Cartage") approved the establishment of a profit sharing plan ("the Plan"). 
The Plan is structured to allow all employees (union and non-union) to
ratably share 50 percent of income before income taxes (excluding
extraordinary items and gains or losses on the sale of assets) in return for
a 15 percent reduction in their wages.  Plan distributions are made on a
quarterly basis.  The Plan was recertified in 1991, and shall continue in
effect at least until a replacement of the Collective Bargaining Agreement is
<PAGE>
reached between Crouse Cartage and its union employees who are members of the
Teamsters Union ("Union").  Crouse Cartage executed an interim agreement with
the Union on April 4, 1994.  A final agreement is expected to be negotiated
during the second quarter 1994.  Based upon the Union's national standard
agreement currently pending a vote of the Union membership, Crouse Cartage
believes the final agreement will not have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations.  Although the outcome is uncertain, Crouse
Cartage believes the Plan will be further extended coincident with the
conclusion of the overall union contract negotiations.  The accompanying
consolidated balance sheet for the period ended March 31, 1994 includes an
accrual for profit sharing costs of $887,921.  The accompanying consolidated
statements of income includes profit sharing costs of $887,921.

4.   Revolving Credit Agreement

  In September 1988, Crouse Cartage entered into a five-year credit agreement
with a commercial bank which provided for maximum borrowings equaling the
lesser of $2,500,000 or the sum of 80 percent of the net depreciated value of
Crouse Cartage's revenue equipment.  In May, 1993 the term of this agreement
was extended to July 31, 1995.  At March 31, 1994, the outstanding balance on
this revolving line of credit was $800,000.

5.   Shareholders' Equity

  In accordance with a resolution to amend the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, duly prepared and adopted at the Company's 1993 Annual
Shareholders' Meeting, the capital stock of the Company was changed from
stock without par value to $0.01 par value per share.  Such change has no
impact on total shareholders' equity but does require a reclassification of
a portion of capital stock to paid-in capital.  This amendment will provide
a cost savings on certain franchise taxes.

  Income per share is based on the average number of common shares
outstanding during each period.  The average number of common shares so
computed was 7,542,537 and 7,542,270 for the quarter ending March 31, 1994
and 1993, respectively.

6.   Discontinued Operations

  Under the provisions of a Joint Plan of Reorganization ("the Joint Plan"),
American Freight System, Inc. ("AFS") is responsible for the continued
resolution of pre-July 11, 1991 creditor claims and conversion of assets
owned before that date.  As claims are allowed and sufficient cash is
available, distributions to the creditors and Anuhco will occur.

<PAGE>
  To date AFS has achieved more favorable results than were assumed in the
March 21, 1991 disclosure statement relating to the Joint Plan.  Such results
are due to favorable (i) settlements of certain claims, (ii) court decisions
and (iii) asset realizations.  A revised projection is that total
distributions to Anuhco (including the $7.25 million previously distributed
during 1992, 1993 and 1994) may exceed $10 million, excluding any proceeds
which may result from a judgment against Westinghouse Credit Corporation
("WCC").  This revised projection continues to include the assumptions
enumerated in the disclosure statement regarding conditions and
contingencies.  Due to the number and value of claims to be resolved and
assets to be converted to cash, the timing and amount of additional interim
distributions and the timing of the final distribution have not been included
in the revised projection.

  On February 23, 1993, a judgment in favor of Anuhco and AFS was entered in
the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, Missouri ("the
Court").  This judgment was entered in a case filed by Anuhco and AFS against
WCC seeking damages as a result of WCC's failure to provide financing
pursuant to a loan commitment issued on June 3, 1988.  The judgment awarded
$70 million in actual damages to be paid to Anuhco and AFS.  WCC filed
motions with the Court to have this judgment set aside or to have a new trial
granted.  On April 8, 1993 WCC's motions were overruled.  WCC filed a notice
of appeal of this judgment with the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western
District, where the matter continues to pend.  A surety bond in support of
such judgment, accrued interest (9% simple interest) and other costs has been
posted by WCC in the amount of $77.9 million.

7.   Subsequent Event

  On April 29, 1994 AFS made an interim distribution under the Joint Plan at
the rate of 5% of each allowed unsecured claim.  Anuhco's participation in
this distribution was $1.25 million, or $0.166 per share.  This distribution
will be recorded as Income from Discontinued Operations in the second quarter
ending June 30, 1994.

First Quarter, 1994 Compared to First Quarter, 1993

  A comparative summary of consolidated operating expenses as a percent of
consolidated operating revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 1994 and
1993 is:

  Total operating expenses............  96.5%   98.2%      (1.7)%
</TABLE>

  Anuhco's first quarter 1994 consolidated operating revenue and performance
were favorably effected by January 1, 1994 rate increases, improved economic
conditions and improved weather conditions throughout its operating
territory, as compared to the first quarter 1993.  Total tonnage of first
quarter shipments increased 11.33% to 200,150 tons; on an increase of 16.77%
in tonnage of shipments of less than 10,000 pounds and an increase of 7.44%
in tonnage of shipments 10,000 pounds and over.  For shipments of less than
10,000 pounds average revenue per shipment increased 3.65% to $100.89 and
average weight of shipment increased 1.85% to 1,062 pounds.  For shipments of
10,000 pounds and over, average revenue per shipment declined 0.14% to
$640.67 and average weight of shipment decreased 4.99% to 29,606 pounds.  







<PAGE>

                            FINANCIAL CONDITION

  The Company's financial condition was strengthened during the first quarter
of 1994.  Shareholders' equity increased by $754,000 primarily as a result of
net income from continuing operations.  Crouse Cartage borrowed $800,000
under its revolving credit agreement which was utilized in the purchase of
approximately $3.1 million of operating property during the first quarter. 
In addition, loan payments from working capital reduced the Company's long-
term debt net of current maturities, by $240,000.

                               ANUHCO, INC.
                         REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

                           FIRST QUARTER 1994

     First quarter 1994 consolidated net income from continuing operations
was $752,000 or $0.100 per share on revenue of $21.2 million, as compared
with first quarter 1993 consolidated net income from continuing operations of
$335,000 or $0.044 per share on revenue of $18.0 million.  This increase
reflects a continued improvement in the economy throughout Crouse's operating
territory.  Net income showed improvement not only as a result of the
economy, but also reduced interest expense, due to debt reductions.  Neither
the first quarter 1994 nor the first quarter 1993 included any income from
discontinued operations.  A distribution to Anuhco from discontinued
operations is currently under evaluation by American Freight System but the
timing and amount, if any, has not yet been determined.

     Crouse Cartage Company, Anuhco's general commodities motor carrier, had
operating income of $850,000 on revenues of $21.2 million for the first
quarter 1994; as compared to operating income of $452,000 on revenues of
$18.0 million for the first quarter 1993.  Crouse Cartage's performance in
1994 was favorably affected by rate increases, better weather and an
improving economy.  Crouse Cartage's negotiations with the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters have not been completed.  At this time we are not
aware of any reason that the negotiations will not be amicably concluded.  As
a result of these ongoing negotiations, we are unable to determine what
economic effect, if any, the new contract would have on the Company.  To
date, actions taken against other motor carriers have not had an adverse
effect on Crouse Cartage.

     The Missouri Court of Appeals has not issued an opinion on the appeal of
the $70 million judgment which Anuhco and American Freight System hold
against Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
