             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1.    Basis of Presentation

           The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have
           been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
           Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include
           all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
           accounting principles for complete financial statements. The
           statements contained herein reflect all adjustments, all of which
           are of a normal, recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of
           management, necessary to present fairly the financial condition,
           results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
           Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
           1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
           expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. The interim financial
           statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
           statements and notes thereto of Allied Holdings, Inc. and
           Subsidiaries, (the "Company") included in the Company's 1996 Annual
           Report on Form 10-K.

Note 2.    Long-Term Debt

           In February 1996, the Company issued $40 million of senior
           subordinated notes through a private placement. Proceeds from the
           senior subordinated notes were used to reduce borrowings outstanding
           under the Company's $130 million revolving credit facility. In
           connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company refinanced
           its revolving credit facility and recorded a $935,000 extraordinary
           loss, net of income taxes, during the first quarter of 1996 related
           to the extinguishment of debt.

Note 3.    Acquisition of Kar-Tainer International Limited

           In April 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of the stock of
           Kar-Tainer International Limited for $13.1 million. Kar-Tainer is
           a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Axis Group, Inc., a wholly-owned
           subsidiary of the Company.  Kar-Tainer, with offices in the United 
           States, Bermuda, London, and South Africa, is a leader in the 
           containerized shipping of vehicles. Kar-Tainer has been involved in 
           the containerized shipment of completely built up (CBU) and semi 
           knocked down (SKD) vehicles in international markets since 1983. 
           Kar-Tainer has worked with vehicle manufacturers and shipping lines
           around the world, and is a leader in the design and manufacture of 
           ramps, frames, and cassettes for the shipment of CBU and SKD 
           vehicles in standard ISO containers.

Note 4.    Earnings per Share

           In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
           SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This new statement will not
           result in changes to the Company's earnings per share for the first
           six months of 1997 or prior years.

Note 5.    Acquisition of Ryder Automotive Carrier Services, Inc. and RC
           Management Corp.

           In May 1997, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Ryder
           Automotive Carrier Services, Inc. and RC Management Corp. from Ryder
           System, Inc. for approximately $114.5 million, subject to the
           execution of a definitive agreement between the parties.  The 
           acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of September 
           1997.   The subsidiaries of Ryder Automotive Carrier Services are 
           engaged in car hauling, vehicle processing and dealer prep, rail 
           unloading and loading services of vehicle railcars, and rail and 
           port yard management. RC Management Corp. is principally involved 
           in providing logistics services to the new retail used car 
           superstores.  Ryder's automotive carrier group, headquartered in 
           Troy, Michigan, has approximately 3,400 rigs at 91 locations in 34 
           states and Canada. Its employees number approximately 6,000, and 
           its revenues in 1996 were approximately $600 million.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Revenues for the second quarter of 1997 were $112.6 million, compared
          with revenues of $107.2 million reported for the second quarter of
          1996, an increase of 5%. Revenues for the six-month period ended June
          30, 1997 were $209.0 million, versus revenues of $200.6 million
          reported for the same period last year, a 4% increase. The increase
          in revenues during 1997 was primarily due to an increase in the
          number of vehicles the Company delivered together with an increase in
          the revenue generated per vehicle delivered. The Company delivered
          approximately 2% more vehicles during the first six months of 1997
          than during the first six months of 1996. A 13% increase in vehicle
          deliveries in Canada due to increased Canadian new vehicle production
          and sales more than offset a 4% decline in vehicle deliveries in 
          the United States.  In addition, the revenue generated per vehicle 
          delivered for the first six months of 1997 increased approximately 
          2% from the first six months of 1996 due to an increase in longer 
          haul dealer deliveries.

          Net income was $3.5 million during the second quarter of 1997, versus
          $3.1 million during the second quarter of 1996, or $0.45 per share in
          1997, versus $0.40 per share in 1996, an increase of 13%. Net income
          was $3.7 million, or $0.48 per share, compared with net income of
          $3.5 million, or $0.45 per share for the comparable six-month period
          a year ago, an increase of 6% (excluding a $935,000 extraordinary
          loss on the early extinguishment of debt recorded during the first
          quarter of 1996). The increase in earnings is attributable to the
          increase in revenues, however earnings from the increased revenues
          were partially offset by losses from the Company's logistics 
          subsidiary, Axis Group, Inc., which have totaled approximately 
          $0.18 per share during the first six months of 1997, versus $0.07 
          per share during the first six months of 1996. The Axis Group was 
          formed in April 1996.

          Salaries, wages and fringe benefits as well as operating supplies and
          expenses as a percentage of revenues remained approximately unchanged
          during both the second quarter of 1997 compared to 1996 and the first
          six months of 1997 compared to the first six months of 1996.

          Purchased transportation was 9.1% of revenues during both the second
          quarter of 1997 and 1996, however, purchased transportation increased
          from 8.8% of revenues for the first six months of 1996 to 9.2% of
          revenues during the first six months of 1997. This increase for the
          six month period is due to increased use of owner-operators together
          with an increase in the number of vehicles delivered for the Company 
          by other carriers.

          Insurance and claims decreased from 4.0% of revenues during the
          second quarter of 1996 to 3.8% of revenues during the second quarter
          of 1997 and from 4.0% of revenues for the first six months of 1996 to
          3.9% of revenues for the first six months of 1997. The decrease was
          due to a slight decrease in liability claims for cargo damage.

          Operating taxes and licenses decreased from 4.2% of revenues for the
          second quarter and the first six months of 1996 to 3.9% of revenues
          for the second quarter and the first six months of 1997. The decrease
          was primarily due to a decline in the operating taxes and licenses
          the Company paid for its fleet of specialized tractor-trailers 
          ("Rigs") due to a decrease in the number of active Rigs the Company 
          operated.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $14,520,000 for the
          six months ended June 30, 1997 versus $15,279,000 for the same period
          in 1996. This decrease in cash flows from operations is mainly
          because of a decrease in the Company's accounts payable from December
          31, 1996 to June 30, 1997.

          Net cash used in investing activities totaled $21,278,000 for the six
          months ended June 30, 1997 versus $13,633,000 for the same period in
          1996. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of
          Kar-Tainer which was offset by a reduction in the purchases of
          property and equipment.

          Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $9,251,000 for the
          six months ended June 30, 1997 versus net cash used in financing
          activities of $8,205,000 for the same period in 1996. During the
          first six months of 1997, the Company had $20,655,000 of borrowings
          of long-term debt, approximately $13,000,000 of which was used for
          the purchase of Kar-Tainer. During the second quarter of 1997, the
          Company repaid $11,400,000 of long-term debt. During the first
          quarter of 1996, the Company issued $40,000,000 of senior
          subordinated notes, the proceeds of which were used to repay
          long-term debt. During the first six months of 1996, $47,692,000 of
          long-term debt was repaid.

SEASONALITY AND INFLATION

          The Company generally experiences its highest revenues during the
          second and fourth quarters of each calendar year due to the shipment
          of new models. Also, the first and third quarters are impacted by
          manufacturing plant downtime. During the past three years, inflation
          has not significantly affected the Company's results of operations.
