U.S. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Management's Representation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
U.S. Transportation Systems, Inc. and Subsidiaries and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, and, accordingly, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to permit that fair presentation has been made. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally required by financial accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Company's December 31, 1994 Form 10- KSB report. The results of
operations for the period ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Note 2 - Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 1993, the Company adopted a formal plan to
discontinue its charter bus operations, which plan was to be completed on
October 31, 1995. The Company's charter operations were primarily located in New
York, Tampa, Atlantic City and Toledo. The Company's charter operations have had
minimal gross profit margins which have continued to decrease over the last few
years and, in fact, were profitable only when used in conjunction with contract
operations. The Company closed the Atlantic City and New York operations in July
1994 and sold the assets of such operations individually. The Company sold the
Tampa and Toledo operations, respectively, as continuing businesses in March and
October 1995. The Company has reclassified the segment's net assets (which
consist primarily of revenue equipment) which it plans to sell. The Company
generated $1,575,000 from the disposal of the assets of the discontinued
operations, during the nine months ended September 30, 1995, $1,150,000 in the
form of sales-type leases.
Net sales of the Company's charter segment were $731,000 and
$2,013,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Such amounts are not included in net sales in the accompanying statements of
operations.
Interest expense has been allocated to discontinued operations.
Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations totals $141,000 in 1995
and $224,000 in 1994 and is made up of: 1) interest directly attributable to the
discontinued operations; and 2) interest not directly attributable to any
operating segment, which amount has been allocated based upon the ratio of net
assets of the discontinued operations to the sum of the Company's total net
assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 3 - Secondary Offerings
In February 1995, the Company completed an underwriting consisting
of 170,000 preferred stock units. Each unit consists of one share of Series A
Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and one Redeemable Class A
Warrant. The Preferred Stock is convertible at a rate of 15 shares for every
share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Preferred
Stock will be automatically converted into Common Stock at a rate of 12 shares
of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment, either
(1) on February 21, 1998; or (2) if the closing price of the Common Stock
exceeds $1.75 for five consecutive trading days. Each Class A warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock and one
Redeemable Class B Common Stock Purchase Warrant ("Class B Warrant"), at an
exercise price of $1.35. Class A Warrants expire on August 20, 1996, unless the
Company modifies the Class A Warrants to also permit exercise from August 21,
1996 through February 20, 1998 at $1.60 per share. Each Class B Warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of
$1.65. Class B Warrants expire on February 20, 1997 unless the Company modifies
the Class B Warrants to permit exercise from February 21, 1997 through February
21, 1999 at $2.00 per share. At any time that the Class A and Class B Warrants
(collectively, the "Warrants") are exercisable, the Warrants are also subject to
redemption by the Company on not less than 30 days notice at $.01 per Warrant,
provided the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock exceeds $1.75
per share for five consecutive trading days. Dividends on the Preferred Stock
are cumulative from the date of issue and are payable semi-annually. During the
first year, the Company will pay total dividends on each share of Preferred
Stock equal to $.60 cash plus up to 1.2 shares of Common Stock, provided that
the value of the stock dividend will not exceed $1.20 per annum, based on 100%
of the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported for the ten trading
days before the record dates for the dividends. During subsequent years, the
Company may either pay an annual dividend equal to $.60 in cash and up to 1.2
shares of Common Stock or, at the Company's discretion, no cash and up to 1.8
shares of Common Stock, provided that the value of the stock dividend will not
exceed $1.20 or $1.86-2/3 per annum, depending on which option the Company
chooses. Between August 21, 1996 and February 20, 1998, the Preferred Stock is
redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, at $12.60 in cash per share, at
which time the Company would be required to pay any dividends which had accrued
but not been paid through the date of the redemption. In the event of the
liquidation of the Company, holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a
liquidation preference of $12.00 per share, plus any accrued but unpaid
dividends. Holders of the Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.

common stock of Automated Solutions, Inc. for 1,800,000 shares of the Company's

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 vs.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994
Results of Operations
The Company's revenue for the first nine months of 1995 increased
significantly from the same period in 1994, from $9,334,557 in 1994 to
$11,481,654 in 1995, i.e., by 23 percent. This increase substantially resulted
from the acquisition of Armstrong Freight Express in June 1995 (see Note 4) and
the acquisition of ATAB of Texas in October 1994.
At the end of 1993, the Company's Board of Directors decided to
terminate the Company's charter bus operations. Charter operations had produced
very small profit margins in recent years and only when undertaken in
conjunction with contract operations. Management determined, in the face of
dwindling margins, that the Company's assets could be better utilized.
Accordingly, net assets and liabilities of the discontinued segment with a net
book value of $1,775,789 at September 30, 1995, have been reclassified as
"Assets held for sale," and the revenues and expenses of the Company's charter
operations have been eliminated from the Company's 1995 and 1994 statements of
operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, net losses
from charter bus operations totaled $364,000 and $924,000, respectively. The
Company believes it will sell or otherwise dispose of its "Assets held for sale"
prior to December 31, 1995 at an aggregate amount not materially less than the
amount recorded on the balance sheet as of September 30, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital of $2,707,877 at September 30, 1995
represented an increase of $927,822 from the Company's working capital of
$1,780,055 at September 30, 1994. This improvement is chiefly the result of the
Company's secondary offering in February 1995.
Cash flow from both continuing operations and discontinued
operations was positive during the first nine months. The Company anticipates
positive cash flow from continuing operations in the foreseeable future.
Further, the Company anticipates that cash flow from the discontinued charter
segment will continue to be positive as the Company disposes of this segment's
assets through the end of 1995.
The Company has no significant commitments at this time which would
require it to expend capital and believes its current facilities and capital
equipment are adequate for the Company as currently structured.
