            Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants



Board of Directors
Transport South, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Transport South, Inc.
as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended.  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 generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards 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.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transport
South, Inc. as of December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                            December 31, 1996


NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Transport South, Inc. is a common carrier of petroleum products
throughout the southern United States and its customers include gasoline
and other petroleum product retailers.
  
  
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost. 
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
 
Income Taxes - Taxable income, losses and credits flow through to the
stockholders pursuant to the Company's election of "S" Corporation income
tax status.  Accordingly, income tax expense includes only those income
taxes payable to states which do not recognize "S" Corporation status.
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability
method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and
liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable
income.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.  A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax
assets when it is more likely than not that the asset will not be
realized.  Deferred income taxes were not significant at December 31,
1996.
  
Income tax payments for the years ended December 31, 1996 totalled
$50,450.

Cash - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Pro Forma Net Income Per Common Share (Unaudited) - Pro forma net income
per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares
and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.
 
Claims Payable - Claims payable represents the estimated cost of open
claims that is retained and paid by the Company under its insurance
programs for workers' compensation, bodily injury and property damage. 
These estimates are based on historical information along with certain
assumptions about future cash flows.  Changes in assumptions for such
things as medical costs, environmental hazards, and legal actions, as
well as changes in accrual experience could cause these estimates to
change. In the accompanying Statement of Income, workers' compensation
costs are included in wages and employee benefits expenses and other
claims costs are included in claims and insurance expenses.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company's financial instruments
include cash, cash equivalents and long-term obligations.  The carrying
value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the
relatively short period to maturity of the instruments.  The carrying
value of the Company's long-term obligations approximates fair value
based upon borrowing rates currently available to the Company for
borrowings with comparable terms.
 
Interim Financial Information - The accompanying balance sheet as of
September 30, 1997 and accompanying statements of income and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, included herein have been
prepared by the Company and are unaudited. The information furnished in
the unaudited financial statements referred to above includes all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements. These adjustments are  all of
a normal recurring nature.  
 
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, the 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.

NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES (Unaudited)

A pro forma adjustment for income taxes is shown on the statement of
income, as if the Company was taxed as a "C" corporation.  The 1996 pro
forma provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax
determined by applying the applicable federal rates due to the following:
 
     Tax at applicable federal rate of 34%      $ 47,000
     State tax, net                                6,000
     Non-deductible items, primarily meals
        and entertainment                         44,000
     Other                                        19,000
                                                --------

NOTE 10 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued the following
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS):
 
SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, which is effective for financial statements
for periods ending after December 15, 1997.  The new standard eliminates
primary and fully diluted earnings per share and requires presentation of
basic and diluted earnings per share together with disclosure of how the
per share amounts were computed.
 
SFAS 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, which is
effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15,
1997.  SFAS 129 requires disclosure of certain information about a
Company's securities.
 
Management does not expect the adoption of these new standards to have a
material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial
condition.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Dollars in Thousands)


1.  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is
    presented as if the Transaction occurred on September 30, 1997. The
    unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1997, and the year ended December
    31, 1996, are presented as if the Transaction occurred as of the
    beginning of the period presented. 

    The Company purchased a majority of the transportation assets of
    Transport South Inc. on December 1, 1997. The purchase price for the
    acquired assets consisted of $10,903 that was paid from the Company's
    existing cash balances and $3,619 in assumed liabilities. The excess
    of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired resulting from the
    preliminary price allocation is $7,591.

    The Transaction will be accounted for by the Company as a purchase
    whereby the basis for accounting for Transport South, Inc.'s assets
    and liabilities will be based upon their fair market values at the
    date of the acquisition. Pro forma adjustments, including the
    preliminary purchase price allocation and estimated cost savings
    resulting from the Transaction represent the Company's preliminary
    determination of these adjustments and are based upon preliminary
    information, assumptions and operating decisions which the Company
    considers reasonable under the circumstances. Final amounts may
    differ significantly from those set forth herein.


2.  Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial
    Statements of Kenan Transport Company (the Company) have been
    prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 8-K and do no
    include all of the information and notes required by generally
