TRANSIT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The information presented herein as of June 30, 1997, and for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, is
unaudited.  The December 31, 1996, balance sheet data was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include
all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.

1.  Basis of Presentation
- -------------------------

Transit Group, Inc.'s ("the Company") consolidated balance 
sheet as of June 30, 1997, its consolidated statements of 
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 
1997 and its consolidated statement of cash flows for the six 
month period ended June 30, 1997 present the consolidated 
financial position, results of operations and cash flows 
of the Company reflecting the disposal
of the parcel delivery and courier operations (see Note 4).  The
Company's consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1996,
its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 and its consolidated statement
of cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 have
been restated to reflect the disposal of such businesses.

2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- ----------------------------------------------

Management's Representation
- ---------------------------

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have
been prepared by the Company in accordance and consistent with
the accounting policies stated in the Company's 1996 Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements appearing therein.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of such consolidated financial statements are
reflected in the interim periods presented.  Such adjustments
consisted of normal recurring items except for adjustments
recorded pursuant to APB 30 (see Note 4).  Interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as
permitted by Form 10-QSB and do not contain certain information
included in the annual consolidated financial statements and
notes of the Company.

Corporate Name Change
- ---------------------

The Company formerly known as General Parcel Service, Inc.
changed its name to Transit Group, Inc. effective June 30, 1997.
 This name change reflects the new strategic direction of the
Company as it concentrates its operations in the truckload motor
carrier industry.

Net Loss per Common Shares
- --------------------------

Net loss applicable to common shares is based on the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the periods
reported. Any assumption of conversion of common stock
equivalents, such as options and warrants, is anti-dilutive and
has not been considered in determining net loss per share or the
weighted average number of shares outstanding.

3.  Common Stock Sales
- ----------------------

On May 2, 1997, the Company's Chairman, the Company's President
and Chief Executive Officer, certain affiliates of the Company's
Chairman and another individual subscribed to purchase 3,387,187
shares of restricted common stock for cash, cancellation of debt
and assumption of debt in the amount of approximately $5.9
million. In June 1997, warrants were exercised to purchase
25,000 shares of common stock for $62,500.

5

3.  Preferred Stock
- -------------------

The holders of the Company's outstanding preferred stock elected
to convert their preferred stock and accrued dividends to common
stock on June 30, 1997.  The Company issued 4,323,922 shares of
common stock upon the conversion.

4.  Discontinued Operations
- ---------------------------

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company approved a plan
to dispose of its parcel delivery and courier operations and has
executed a letter of intent for the sale of a portion of such
businesses.  It is expected that substantially all property and
equipment and certain capital  and operating lease obligations
will be assumed by the buyer.  The Company anticipates that the
disposal will be substantially completed as of September 1,
1997.  

Revenues attributable to the discontinued businesses were
$9,778,792 and $11,383,993 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company has recorded a
provision for losses during the phase-out period of
approximately $800,000.  A tax benefit has not been provided on
the losses from discontinued operations because it is more
likely than not that a portion or all of the losses may not
produce a tax benefit.

The loss from discontinued operations has been reflected as an
APB No. 30 disposal of a segment.  The December 31, 1996
consolidated balance sheet, the consolidated statements of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1996 and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996 have been restated to
separately reflect the financial position, results of operations
and cash flows of the discontinued parcel delivery and courier
businesses.  

5.  Business Combinations
- -------------------------

In May 1997, the Company executed letters of intent to acquire
four privately-held trucking companies in separate transactions.
The four companies have combined annual revenues of
approximately $100 million and are expected to be purchased by
the Company for cash and stock.  Management believes that the
aggregate purchase price of the four transactions will be
between $47 to $50 million.  

On July 11, 1997, the Company consummated the first of its
announced acquisitions by acquiring Carolina Pacific
Distributors, Inc. ("Carolina Pacific"), a privately-held North
Carolina corporation, and the business and related assets
operated by the owners of Carolina Pacific.  Pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Agreement executed at closing (the "Agreement"),
Transit Group purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of
Carolina Pacific and the business and related assets operated
and owned by the shareholders of Carolina Pacific for a purchase
price of approximately $11.3 million consisting of $3.7 million

6

in cash at closing, issuance of 1,733,000 shares of common stock
of the Company to the shareholders of Carolina Pacific and
assumption of approximately $0.6 million of debt. 

Carolina Pacific, which has been in business for more than 20
years, is a truckload carrier based in Highpoint, North Carolina.

The following unaudited pro forma combined results of operations
of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 account for the acquisition as if it had occurred on
January 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The pro forma results
give effect to the amortization of goodwill, the effects of
additional interest expense and certain other adjustments.

TRANSIT GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements including the footnotes and is
qualified in its entirety by the foregoing and other more
detailed financial information appearing elsewhere herein. 
Historical results of operations and the percentage
relationships among any amounts included in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations, and any trends which may appear to be
inferable therefrom, should not be taken as being necessarily
indicative of trends in operations or results of operations for
any future periods.

Comments in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations regarding the
Company's business which are not historical facts are forward
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.  Among
these risks are the Company is in a highly competitive business,
has a history of operating losses, and is pursuing a growth
strategy that relies in part on the completion of acquisitions
of companies in the trucking industry.  There can be no
assurance that in its highly competitive business environment,
the Company will successfully improve its operating
profitability or consummate such acquisitions.

The following discussion and analysis reflect the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows as
restated to reflect the disposal of the parcel delivery and
courier operations in accordance with APB No. 30.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Company has incurred substantial operating losses and cash
flow deficits since inception.  From September 1985 through June
30, 1997, the Company had accumulated a deficit from operating
losses of $32,300,206.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had
raised $27,803,255 from (i) private placements of preferred
stock, (ii) its initial public offering of November 2, 1989 and
(iii) the sale of restricted and unrestricted common shares and
has paid dividends on its preferred stock of approximately
$1,338,804.  As a result of equity placements, dividends on
preferred stock and cumulative losses, the stockholders' deficit
as of June 30, 1997, was $5,835,755.   

In May 1997, the Company executed letters of intent to acquire
four privately-held trucking companies in separate transactions.
On July 11, 1997, the Company purchased Carolina Pacific
Distributors, Inc. ("Carolina Pacific") and the business and
related assets operated by the owners of Carolina Pacific
(see Note 5).  The three remaining companies have combined 
annual revenues of approximately $90 million and are expected 
to be purchased by the Company for cash and stock.  Management 
believes that the aggregate purchase price of the three 
transactions will be between $36 to $39 million.

Management believes, but can offer no assurances, that it can
improve operating performance and cash flows through the
following measures:

Eliminating Parcel Delivery  and Courier Operations. 
- ----------------------------------------------------
Management has entered into a letter of intent to sell the
unprofitable	 parcel delivery operations to Western Parcel
Express and expects this sale to close in September 1997. 
Management is currently negotiating for the sale of the
courier operation and expects to complete this sale in September
1997. 

8

Acquiring Profitable Trucking Operations. 
- -----------------------------------------
The Company has reorganized into a "holding company" format based in
Atlanta, Georgia.  This new corporate structure is intended to 
increase the Company's flexibility to pursue the acquisition
and operation of profitable truckload motor carriers. The
Company's intent is to continue to identify and acquire
additional mid-size trucking  companies, primarily with
annual revenues between $10 million and $100 million, that 		
possess strong market positions, sound management and a
commitment to a high level of service and quality.

Relying on Equity Sales to or Loans from Major Shareholders. 
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Company's Chairman, the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer, certain affiliates of the Company's Chairman
and  another individual subscribed to purchase approximately
3.4 million shares of restricted common stock in May 1997
for cash, cancellation of debt and assumption of debt in the 		
amount of  approximately $5.9 million. In July 1997, the
Company's Chairman loaned the Company $4 million to
consummate the acquisition of Carolina Pacific Distributors, Inc.

Obtaining Bank Financing.
- -------------------------
Management is negotiating new lines
of bank financing to provide  working capital financing and
financing for acquisition of additional truckload motor
carriers.  

Financial Condition
- -------------------

As of June 30, 1997, the Company has treated its parcel delivery
operations and courier operations as discontinued operations. 
The Company's outstanding vehicle and equipment indebtedness and
certain operating  leases will either be assumed by the
companies purchasing the operations or will be paid with
proceeds from the sale.

Results of Operations - Three and six months ended 
June 30, 1997 versus three and six months ended June 30, 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------

At June 30, 1997, the Company had no revenues from continuing
operations.  The Company plans to satisfy its cash requirements
for the next 12 months through revenues generated by companies
acquired by the Company, such as Carolina Pacific, or companies
to be acquired by the Company.  The Company is negotiating new
lines of bank financing to provide working capital.  If
necessary, the Company will raise additional capital through the
issuance of restricted stock.  Revenues from continuing 
operations commenced on July 11, 1997 with the purchase of Carolina Pacific 
and are expected to increase with the anticipated acquisition
of the three additional companies with which it has executed
letters of intent.

The Company incurred corporate administration expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 of $174,658 as compared to
$59,205 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1997, the Company incurred administration
expenses of $268,066 as compared to $233,863 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996.  These increases are attributable the
reorganization to a holding company format and the opening of new
corporate office in Atlanta. 

During the second quarter of 1997, the Company approved a plan
to dispose of its parcel delivery and courier operations and has
executed a letter of intent with Western Parcel Express for the
sale of a portion of such businesses.  It is expected that
substantially all property and equipment and certain capital and

9

operating lease obligations will be assumed by the buyer.  The
Company anticipates that the disposal will be substantially
completed in September 1997.  

Revenues attributable to the discontinued businesses were
$9,778,792 and $11,383,993 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company has recorded a
provision for losses during the phase-out period of
approximately $800,000.  A tax benefit has not been provided on
the losses from discontinued operations because it is more
likely than not that a portion or all of the losses may not 
produce a tax benefit.
