Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations: Quarter Ended December 31, 1995 vs. Quarter Ended
December 31, 1994
Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 decreased by
$1,523,000 (2.7%). The lower revenues reflects a 6% decrease in the number
of loads carried as well as a lower revenue per load. Competitive pricing
and excess industry capacity, both results of continued sluggish economic
conditions, negatively affected revenue. Improvements in the Company's
ancillary businesses were not sufficient to offset the decline in the
domestic trucking business.
Operating expenses decreased by $1,004,000 (2.1%) reflecting the
decrease in revenues. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
increased to 84.3% in 1995 from 83.8% in 1994.
Depreciation expense increased by $752,000 (34.4%) due to the increase
in capital expenditures associated with the tractor replacement program,
which was completed in fiscal year 1995.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $105,000 (2.3%) due
mainly to the lower level of business. Selling and administrative expenses
were 8.2% of revenues in 1995 and 8.1% in 1994.
Interest expense increased $82,000 (11.6%) due mainly to increased
borrowings related to the higher level of capital spending incurred
throughout fiscal year 1995.
The effective income tax rates for the quarter ended December 31, 1995
and 1994 were 41.6% and 41.5%, respectively.
Net earnings decreased to $274,000 or $.03 per share from $1,014,000
or $.11 per share in the prior year. The decrease in earnings resulted
principally from the lower revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first three months of fiscal 1996, the Company financed its
capital expenditures through a combination of cash flows from operations,
available cash and increased borrowings under its revolving credit
agreement. At December 31, 1995, a total of $6,124,000 was available to
the Company under its $30,000,000 revolving credit facility.
Otherwise, there were no material changes in the Company's financial
condition and its liquidity and capital resources since September 30, 1995.
For further details, see pages 3 and 4 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report
to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 1995.
