1.   Basis of Presentation  
- --------------------------
          The financial information included herein is unaudited; 
    however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
    of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of
    management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim
    periods.

          The balance sheet at December 31, 1995 has been taken from the
    audited financial statements at that date.

          The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
    1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
    expected for the full year.

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


    The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain 
significant factors that have affected the Company's financial position
and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying
financial statements.

Results of Operations
- -------------------------------
    Revenue for the first quarter of 1996 was $17,587,000, an increase of
$2,190,000 and 14% from the first quarter of 1995. Net income was
$1,040,000 compared to $1,024,000 in 1995. Earnings per share were $.44
compared to $.43 during the same period last year. Colder than normal
weather during the first quarter positively affected demand for heating
fuels and our revenue from transportation of those products. The addition
of transportation services to Cary Oil and entry into Alabama and
Tennessee markets also contributed to revenue growth for the quarter.
Miles operated increased 10% to 11,391,000 in 1996. 

    Operating expenses for the first quarter of 1996 were $15,939,000
compared to $13,861,000 in 1995, an increase of 15%. Operating expenses
increased due to additional costs incurred to handle the growth in
revenue, higher costs of driver pay primarily caused by waiting time at
congested pipeline terminals during peak demand periods and higher fuel
prices. The severe winter weather and tight petroleum supplies combined
to increase the price of diesel fuel used in our operation by 18%. Our
operating ratio for the quarter was 90.6% compared to 90.0% in 1995 and
an industry ratio over 96% for all of 1995. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
    The Company believes its liquidity and capital resources are
sufficient for the foreseeable future. Working capital was $9,409,000
compared to $9,568,000 at December 31, 1995, and the current ratios were
1.91 and 1.98, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $9,415,000
at March 31, 1996, and the Company had no debt outstanding under its
$7,000,000 bank line of credit.

    Cash flows for the first three months of 1996 totaled $6,195,000
compared to $3,234,000 during the same period last year. Cash flows from
operations were $2,782,000 compared to $2,682,000 in 1995. Completion of
a new terminal facility in Atlanta, Georgia during the first quarter of
1996 caused net purchases of operating property to increase $2,209,000
over 1995 levels. Cash provided from the sale of short-term investments
was up $5,076,000 over the first quarter of 1995 as short-term
investments matured and were reinvested in cash equivalents. 

     The Company has second quarter cash commitments of approximately
$5,900,000 for tractor and trailer replacements, substantially completing
capital expenditures for the year. It is expected that capital
expenditure requirements will be met with internal cash resources.

    The Company's operations require the storage of fuel for use in its
tractors in both underground and aboveground tanks. In 1989 the Company
implemented a program to upgrade its fuel storage facilities. Under the
program, the Company incurs costs to replace tanks, remediate soil
contamination resulting from overfills, spills and leaks and monitor
facilities on an ongoing basis. These costs are recorded when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the related amount can be
reasonably estimated. Such costs have not been and are not expected to be
material to the Company's operations or liquidity.
