A. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the current period's presentation. Operating results for
the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
September 30, 2000. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
1999.
B. Earnings Per Share

C. Segment Information
The Company's operations are classified into two reportable
business segments based on differences in their operations. The
Company's principal business is the transportation of bulk commodities
in tank trailers and tank containers for chemical and dry bulk
shippers. In connection with this transportation service, the Company
may provide, when required, intermodal transportation services and tank
cleaning. The Company is also in the business of leasing tank
trailers, tank containers and other associated specialized equipment
primarily to customers in the chemical and food industries and its
suppliers.

months ended March 31, 2000 when compared with the corresponding period
of the prior year:

FORM 10-Q Page 8 of 14
Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2000 decreased by
$4,272,000 (4.0%) to $101,347,000 compared with $105,619,000 during the
same period last year. The winding down of the Company's international
operations accounted for $4,870,000 of the six-month decrease in
revenues when compared with the prior year. In addition, the decline
in leasing revenues from external customers of $1,224,000 resulted from
the fact that revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 included
approximately $1,200,000 of opportunity revenues, which resulted from
bad weather in Puerto Rico. After considering the effects of revenues
earned and reported in the prior year for which there has been no
comparable revenue earned during the current year, overall revenues
from the remaining base level of the bulk transportation business have
increased by $2,804,000.
Operating expenses decreased by $2,092,000 (2.2%) to $91,493,000 in
2000 from $93,585,000 in 1999.
The following table identifies by general expense category net
increases and decreases for the six months:
(In thousands) Increase/(Decrease)
Leased operator costs $ 2,353 (1)
Fuel costs 2,580 (2)
Facility costs (272)(3)
Purchased transportation-international operations (3,112)(4)
Purchased transportation-other (2,982)(5)
All other items (659)
Net decrease $(2,092)
Explanation of certain variances:
(1) Increase due to inclusion of additional fuel payments to leased
operators and certain leased operator termination costs.
(2) Increase due to significant increase in fuel costs incurred.
(3) Includes provision of $725,000 for terminal closings.
(4) Resulted from shutting down international operations.
(5) Resulted from shifts in the mix of business.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses were 90.3% in 2000
and 88.6% in 1999.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1,302,000
(20.6%) reflecting both the disposition of property and equipment
during fiscal 1999 and the first six months of fiscal 2000 and the fact
that a larger portion of the Company's assets have become fully
depreciated.
Selling and administrative expenses decreased by $362,000 (3.4%) to
$10,412,000 compared with $10,774,000 during the same period last year.
Included in the fiscal year 2000 expenses are certain items that
reduced the effect of management's cost containment measures
implemented to more properly align the Company's infrastructure with
the current level and mix of business. These expenses, which are not
expected to be incurred in the future, include consulting fees,
FORM 10-Q Page 9 of 14
temporary staffing and overtime cost, which aggregated $499,000. As a
percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses were 10.3%
in 2000 and 10.2% in 1999.
Other expense (income) for the six months ended March 31, 2000
includes a non-cash impairment charge of $3,115,000 related to the
Company's existing transportation management software system. The
Company has determined that this system no longer supports the
Company's operational needs and, therefore, has no future useful
service potential. The ongoing operational needs of the Company do not
require continued use of this asset. A substantial portion of this
system has never been implemented and used operationally. As a
consequence, for accounting purposes, the Company determined in the
second quarter to treat the entire system as if it has been abandoned
and that the fair value of the asset is zero. The Company has
purchased new transportation management software, which currently is
being implemented. The implementation of this system is expected to be
completed during the first half of fiscal 2001. The expected cost for
this system, including all implementation and training, is
approximately $1,300,000.
Also included in other expense (income) is a non-cash impairment
charge of $2,203,000 related to the write-down of several Company-owned
locations to adjust their carrying values to fair value.
Interest expense increased by $883,000 (46.9%) reflecting higher
borrowing rates and an increased level of indebtedness when compared
with the same period of last year.
The effective rate of income tax benefit was 38.2% in fiscal 2000
compared with 37.2% in the prior year.
The net loss of $8,294,000 or $.94 per diluted share reflects the
additional costs incurred to eliminate unprofitable terminals and
product lines, as well as higher interest costs due to increased rates
and higher outstanding balances and the asset impairments.
Results of Operations: Quarter Ended March 31, 2000 vs. Quarter Ended
March 31, 1999
Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 decreased by
$1,834,000 (3.6%) to $49,554,000 compared with $51,388,000 during the
same quarter last year. The following table summarizes the change in
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 when compared with

(4) Resulted from shutting down international operations.
(5) Resulted from shifts in the mix of business.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expenses were 96.8% in 2000
and 89.4% in 1999.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $662,000 (21.2%)
reflecting both the disposition of property and equipment during fiscal
1999 and fiscal 2000 and the fact that a larger portion of the
Company's assets have become fully depreciated.
Selling and administrative expense increased by $127,000 (2.4%) to
$5,489,000 compared with $5,362,000 during the same period last year.
The second quarter of 2000 included consulting fees, temporary staffing
and overtime costs of $499,000, as more fully described above. As a
FORM 10-Q Page 11 of 14
percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses were 11.1%
in 2000 and 10.4% in 1999.
Other expense (income) for the quarter and six months ended March
31, 2000 includes a non-cash impairment charge of $3,115,000 related to
the Company's existing transportation management software system. The
Company has determined that this system no longer supports the
Company's operational needs and, therefore, has no future useful
service potential. The ongoing operational needs of the Company do not
require continued use of this asset. A substantial portion of this
system has never been implemented and used operationally. As a
consequence, for accounting purposes, the Company determined in the
second quarter to treat the entire system as if it has been abandoned
and that the fair value of the asset is zero. The Company has
purchased new transportation management software, which currently is
being implemented. The implementation of this system is expected to be
completed during the first half of fiscal 2001. The expected cost for
this system, including all implementation and training, is
approximately $1,300,000.
Also included in other expense (income) is a non-cash impairment
charge of $2,203,000 related to the write-down of several Company-owned
locations to adjust their carrying values to fair value.
Interest expense increased by $400,000 (42.2%) reflecting higher
borrowing rates and an increased level of indebtedness when compared
with the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
The effective rate of income tax benefit was 38.7% in fiscal 2000
compared with 37.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 1999.
The net loss of $7,903,000 or $.90 per diluted share reflects the
additional costs incurred to eliminate unprofitable terminals and
product lines, higher selling and administrative expenses, as well as
higher interest costs due to increased rates and higher outstanding
balances and the asset impairments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the six months ended March 31, 2000, the Company's operating
activities required a cash outflow of $6,590,000. However, the cash
flow from operating activities was substantially better during the
second quarter, as shown in the following table:
First Quarter Second Quarter Six Months
Ended 12/31/99 Ended 3/31/00 Ended 3/31/00
Cash (used in)
provided by
operating activities $(11,234,000) $ 4,644,000 $(6,590,000)
During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, slower than normal
collections of accounts receivable adversely affected cash provided by
operating activities by $6,476,000. During the second quarter,
collections of accounts receivable provided cash of $1,614,000.
FORM 10-Q Page 12 of 14
The Company incurred a net loss of $8,294,000 during the first six
months of fiscal year 2000, which, from a cash flow point of view, was
more than offset by non-cash depreciation and amortization of
$5,027,000 and the asset impairment of $5,318,000. The growth in
accounts receivables as well as other working capital changes caused
overall operations to require cash of $6,590,000. Drawing down cash
balances of $388,000, net proceeds from the sale of equipment of
$2,199,000 and net borrowings of $4,003,000 were the sources of funding
these cash requirements. During the second quarter, the Company
reduced its overall indebtedness by $3,239,000.
Capital expenditures for the six months ended March 31, 2000 were
$4,193,000 compared with $4,123,000 in the prior year. Proceeds from
the sale of equipment and facilities were $6,392,000, primarily the
result of selling four terminals. The net impact of purchasing and
disposing of equipment and facilities during the six months ended March
31, 2000 was a source of cash of $2,199,000.
The source of the borrowings was the Company's $75,000,000 bank
credit facility, which had $54,400,000 outstanding at March 31, 2000.
Under this facility, borrowings are restricted to the net book value of
available equipment and eligible accounts receivable less outstanding
letters of credit. The Company exceeded the borrowing base by
$3,126,000 at March 31, 2000, was not in compliance with the fixed
charge coverage ratio and the net worth covenant under this facility at
March 31, 2000 and had incurred a loss in the first quarter due to a
restatement, and a loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. The
Company currently is negotiating with its bank group to obtain waivers
and amendments to its credit agreement. Although there can be no
assurance that the requested waivers and amendments will be received,
the Company expects to be able to secure such waivers and amendments in
an acceptable form.
The Company anticipates that its currently available funds, cash
generated from operations and cash realized from the sale of property
and equipment will be sufficient to meet cash and working capital
requirements, including anticipated capital expenditures, through the
end of fiscal 2000.
The Company does not anticipate making any additional purchases of
equipment in 2000. The Company expects to make modest capital
expenditures for refurbishment of trailers and facilities in the second
half of fiscal 2000. In connection with the previously mentioned
purchase of transportation management software, the Company expects to
spend $776,000 during fiscal 2000. Based on current operating
projections, including the above capital expenditure estimates and
excluding any non-operating proceeds, it is expected that overall
indebtedness will decrease during the second half of fiscal 2000.
Otherwise, there have been no material changes in the Company's
financial condition and its liquidity and capital resources since
September 30, 1999. For further details, see the Company's 1999 Annual
Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
1999.

Forward-Looking Statements
The Company may make forward-looking statements relating to
anticipated financial performance, business prospects, acquisitions or
divestitures, new products, market forces, commitments and other
matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides
a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with
