ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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,

expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. The interim financial

statements and notes thereto of Allied Holdings, Inc. and

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

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.

<PAGE> 9
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.
