                             LANDAIR SERVICES, INC.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)
                                  June 30, 1997

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they 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. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Landair Services,
Inc. annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Common stock
equivalents consist of outstanding stock options and have been included in the
calculation of net income per share using the treasury stock method. See Note 6.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the effective
income tax rate varied from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34%
primarily due to the effect of state income taxes, net of the federal benefit,
and permanent differences.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal
course of its business, most of which involve claims for personal injury and
property damage incurred in connection with the transportation of freight.
Management believes none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate,
will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company.

NOTE 5 - CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING ESTIMATE

Effective July 1, 1996, the Company changed the estimated useful life of tires
in service to reflect the increased warranty periods provided by the tire
manufacturers. The change resulted in a decrease in other expenses of $140,000
and $280,000, an increase in net earnings of $85,000 and $171,000 and an
increase in earnings per share of $0.01 and $0.03 for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.

NOTE 6 - ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING RULES

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.
At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used
to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new
requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of
stock options will be excluded. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation
of primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is not expected to be material.

Results of Operations

Operating revenue increased by $6.6 million, or 17%, to $45.5 million in the
second quarter of 1997 from $38.9 million in 1996. For the first six months of
1997, operating revenue of $86.5 million was $10.6 million, or 14%, higher than
the same period of 1996. The increase in operating revenue compared to the
prior-year periods is attributable to additional volume from the Company's
Forward Air operations, which increased 25% during the second quarter and first
six months of 1997, coupled with increased revenue in the Company's Truckload
operations, which increased 8% and 4%, respectively, due to improvements in
utilization and yield.

The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue)
for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997 was 91.2% and 93.1%,
respectively, compared to 93.1% and 94.2% for the respective periods in 1996.
Except as explained below, operating expenses in the aggregate generally
reflect increases proportionate to the increased level of operations.



                                        8

<PAGE>   9




The components of operating expenses fluctuate between periods primarily because
of the ratio of owner-operators to Company-operated equipment.

Insurance and claims were 5.4% and 5.8% of operating revenue for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, compared to 4.9% for
the same periods in 1996. The increase in costs during 1997 is due primarily to
an increase in the frequency and severity of accidents coupled with increased
estimated liability related to claims incurred in prior years.

See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the current
year financial impact of a change in the estimated useful life of tires in
service.

Interest expense was $658,000 and $1,339,000, respectively, for the three months
and six months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $788,000 and $1,594,000 for the
same periods in 1996. The decrease in interest costs during 1997 is due to lower
average net borrowings in 1997.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of 1997 was
39% compared to 38% for the same periods in 1996.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Cash flows from operations were $9.2 million for the first six months of 1997
compared with $4.8 million in the same period of 1996. The $4.4 million increase
in cash flows from operations was attributable to increased business volumes and
collection of accounts receivable in working capital accounts.

Management believes available borrowing under existing lines of credit, future
borrowing under installment notes for revenue equipment, and cash generated by
operations will be sufficient to fund the Company's cash needs and anticipated
capital expenditures over the near term.
