NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Financial Information
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the parent company
Knight Transportation, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Quad-K Leasing,
Inc., KTTE Holdings, Inc., QKTE Holdings, Inc., and Knight Dedicated Services
Limited Partnership, which is comprised of KTTE Holdings, Inc. as general
partner and QKTE Holdings, Inc. as sole limited partner (hereinafter
collectively called the "Company"). All material intercompany items and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The statements presented do not include all information and footnotes required
to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Results of operations in interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Note 2. Income Tax Matters
Income taxes have been provided at the statutory federal and state rates
adjusted for certain permanent differences between financial statement and
income tax reporting.
Note 3. Legal Matters
The Company's tractor and trailer fleets are registered in Oklahoma and Utah and
operate primarily in the western United States, including California. The
Company is presently being audited by the State of California's Department of
Motor Vehicles, with respect to the 1994, 1995, and 1996 "mileage years".
Although no assessment has yet been made, California is asserting that all the
Company's trailers are subject to mileage based apportioned registration, and
that the Company owes trailer registration fees in excess of those amounts
previously paid. The Company intends to vigorously contest the position taken by
California. To the extent the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts, it may be
required to pay additional registration fees for the mileage years involved and
penalties as well as increased registration fees (relative to payments paid with
respect to prior periods) for future periods. The Company believes that the
outcome of the California audit will not have a materially adverse effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
Note 4. Subsequent Event
The Company registered an additional 800,000 shares of Common Stock effective as
of July 18, 1996. The Company received net proceeds of $13,952,000 in connection
with the offering. It is expected that approximately $10.2 million of the net
proceeds from the shares offered on behalf of the Company will be used to repay
its current line of credit indebtedness incurred primarily to acquire revenue
equipment, with the balance used to acquire additional revenue equipment and for
general corporate purposes.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Knight Transportation, Inc.'s (the "Company") operating revenue for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 increased by 40% to $35.6 million from $25.0 million
over the same period in 1995. For the three months ended June 30, 1996,
operating revenue increased by 40% to $19.0 million from $13.5 million over the
same period in 1995. The increase in operating revenue resulted from expansion
of the Company's customer base and increased volume from existing customers, and
was facilitated by the continued expansion of the Company's fleet, including an
increase in the Company's independent contractor fleet. The Company's fleet
increased by 35.8% to 508 tractors (including 146 owned by independent
contractors) as of June 30, 1996, from 374 tractors (including 78 owned by
independent contractors) as of June 30, 1995. Despite increases in revenue, the
Company's revenue per mile declined to $1.25 per mile for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from $1.26 per mile for the same period in 1995. This decrease was
offset by revenue increases resulting from the growth of the Company's
independent contractor program combined with additional revenues generated by
the Company's expansion of its operations with the commencement of dedicated
service and regional operations near Houston in early 1996.
Salaries, wages and benefits decreased as a percentage of operating revenue to
28.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 30.5% for the same period in
1995. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, salaries, wages and benefits
decreased to 28.3% from 29.8% for the same period in 1995. These decreases were
primarily the result of the increase in the ratio of independent contractors to
company drivers.
Fuel expense decreased as a percentage of operating revenue to 10.6% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 from 11.1% for the same period in 1995. For the three
months ended June 30, 1996, fuel expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased
to 10.7% from 10.9% for the same period in 1995. Although fuel costs increased
slightly, the overall decrease resulted from the growth of the Company's
independent contractor program. Independent contractors are required to pay
their own fuel costs.
Operations and maintenance expense decreased as a percentage of operating
revenue to 4.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 7.0% for the
corresponding period in 1995. For the three months ended June 30, 1996,
operations and maintenance expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 4.8%
from 6.6% for the same period in 1995. These decreases resulted from a
substantial decline in trailer lease costs incurred due to an increase in
Company owned trailers during the period and the continued growth in the
Company's independent contractor program.
Insurance and claims expense decreased as a percentage of operating revenue to
4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 4.3% for the same period in
1995. For the three months ended June 30, 1996 insurance and claims expense
increased to 4.2% from 4.0% for the same period in 1995. The overall decrease
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was due to a reduction in insurance
premium costs and an overall lower level of new claims reserves during the
period. Although insurance and claims expense decreased as a percentage of
operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996, the increase during
the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was the result of a reevaluation of
reserves for incurred but not reported incidents in the Company's new
operations.
7
<PAGE>
Operating taxes and licenses decreased as a percentage of revenue to 3.5% for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 4.1% for the same period in 1995. For
the three months ended June 30, 1996, operating taxes and licenses decreased to
3.6% from 4.3% for the same period in 1995. These decreases resulted primarily
from growth in the Company's independent contractor program. Independent
contractors are required to pay their own mileage taxes.
For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, depreciation and amortization
expense increased as a percentage of operating revenue to 10.0% from 9.9% for
the corresponding period in 1995. For the three month period ended June 30,
1996, depreciation and amortization expense increased as a percentage of
operating revenue to 10.0% from 9.8% for the same period in 1995. Although
depreciation expense decreased as a result of the continued growth in the
Company's independent contractor program, overall depreciation expense increased
due to the Company's expansion of its trailer fleet during the period.
Purchased transportation increased as a percentage of operating revenue to 18.4%
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from 11.3% for the same period in 1995.
For the three months ended June 30, 1996, purchased transportation increased to
18.3% from 13.5% for the same period in 1995. These increases were due to the
growth in the Company's independent contractor program from 78 tractors as of
June 30, 1995 to 146 as of June 30, 1996.
Communications and miscellaneous operating expenses as a percentage of revenues
for both the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 1996 were slightly
higher than the same periods in 1995.
The Company's operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating
revenue) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased to 82.9% from 81.1%
for the same period in 1995. The Company's operating ratio for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 increased to 82.8% from 81.9% for the same period in 1995.
Management believes the increases in the operating ratio were mainly due to the
competitive marketplace resulting in a lower revenue per mile and lower tractor
utilization.
For both the six month and three month periods ended June 30, 1996, net interest
expense as a percentage of revenue was slightly higher than the same periods in
1995, resulting from increased borrowings to finance the purchase of additional
revenue equipment.
Income taxes have been provided at the statutory federal and state rates,
adjusted for certain permanent differences between financial statement and
income tax reporting.
As a result of the preceding changes, the Company's net income as a percentage
of operating revenue was 9.5% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to 9.9% for the same period in 1995 and 9.5% for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to 10.3% for the same period in 1995.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The growth of the Company's business has required a significant investment in
new revenue equipment. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been
funds provided by operations, term borrowings to finance equipment purchases,
and the Company's line of credit. Net cash provided by operating activities
totaled approximately $7.1 million for the first six months of 1996 and $5.9
million for the corresponding period in 1995.
Capital expenditures for the purchase of revenue equipment, office equipment and
leasehold improvements totaled $15.1 million for the first six months of 1996
and $6.5 million for the same period in 1995.
Net cash provided by financing activities and direct financing was $7.6 million
for the first six months of 1996 compared to net cash used in financing
activities of $2.0 million for the same period in 1995. Net cash provided by
financing activities during the first six months of 1996 was primarily the
result of increased borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit to
fund expansion of the Company's tractor and trailer fleet in addition to the
Company's financing of its 1996 insurance premiums.
The Company has a $15 million line of credit from its lender and uses that line
to finance the acquisition of revenue equipment and other corporate purposes to
the extent the cost of such acquisitions are not provided by funds from
operations. Under the Company's line of credit, the Company is obligated to
comply with certain financial covenants. The rate of interest on borrowings
against the line of credit will vary depending upon the interest rate election
made by the Company, based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR),
the prime rate, or the lender's certificate of deposit rate. At June 30, 1996,
the Company had borrowings under the revolving line of credit totaling $11.7
million.
Management of the Company believes it has adequate liquidity to meet its current
needs. The Company will continue to have significant capital requirements over
the long term, which may require the Company to incur debt or seek additional
equity capital. The availability of this capital will depend upon prevailing
market conditions, the market price of the common stock and other factors over
which the Company has no control, as well as the Company's financial condition
and results of operations.
The Company registered an additional 800,000 shares of Common Stock effective as
of July 18, 1996. The Company received net proceeds of $13,952,000 in connection
with the offering. It is expected that approximately $10.2 million of the net
proceeds from the shares offered on behalf of the Company will be used to repay
its current line of credit indebtedness incurred primarily to acquire revenue
equipment, with the balance used to acquire additional revenue equipment and for
general corporate purposes.
Seasonality
To date, the Company's revenues have not shown any significant seasonal pattern.
Because the Company has operated primarily in Arizona, California and the
western United States, winter weather has not adversely affected the Company's
business. Expansion of the Company's operations into Texas and Louisiana, as
well as in the Midwest and on the East Coast, could expose the Company to
greater operating variances due to seasonal weather.

<PAGE>
Inflation
Many of the Company's operating expenses, including fuel costs and fuel taxes,
are sensitive to the effects of inflation, which could result in higher
operating costs. The effects of inflation on the Company's business during the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were not significant.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company is party to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business
primarily involving claims for personal injury or property damage incurred in
the transportation of freight. The company maintains insurance to cover
liabilities in amounts in excess of self-insured retentions.
In 1994, the Company received notice from the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") of charges of race discrimination filed by
two drivers seeking employment as dispatchers. The EEOC found reasonable
cause to believe the Company had discriminated against the individuals and a
class of similarly situated individuals based on race. The EEOC also
determined that the Company had engaged in retaliatory conduct against a
charging party. The Company has been notified by the EEOC that conciliation
has failed with respect to the two charges, including the class charge, and
the EEOC has filed suit against the Company alleging unlawful employment
practices on the basis of race and unlawful retaliation. The EEOC is seeking
damages on behalf of the individuals involved and a class of persons the
Company is alleged to have failed to hire as dispatchers. The EEOC is also
seeking injunctive relief against alleged unlawful employment practices, the
institution of policies providing for equal employment, pecuniary relief for
the affected class, including back pay, pre-judgment interest and
compensation for past and future services, and punitive damages. It is the
Company's policy to comply with all applicable laws relating to equal
employment opportunity. The Company believes that the EEOC claims are without
merit and that it has defenses to all claims. The Company intends to
vigorously defend the claims.
The Company's tractor and trailer fleets are registered in Oklahoma and Utah
and operate primarily in the western United States, including California. The
Company is presently being audited by the State of California's Department of
Motor Vehicles, with respect to the 1994, 1995, and 1996 "mileage years".
Although no assessment has yet been made, California is asserting that all
the Company's trailers are subject to mileage based apportioned registration,
and that the Company owes trailer registration fees in excess of those
amounts previously paid. The Company intends to vigorously contest the
position taken by California. To the extent the Company is unsuccessful in
its efforts, it may be required to pay additional registration fees for the
mileage years involved and penalties as well as increased registration fees
(relative to payments paid with respect to prior periods) for future periods.
The Company believes that the outcome of the California audit will not have a
materially adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.
Two of the Company's officers, Kevin P. Knight and Gary J. Knight, are
engaged in arbitration proceedings with their former employer, Swift
Transportation, Inc. ("Swift") with respect to claims by Swift for damages
and injunctive relief in connection with disputes related to their departure
in March 1990 from employment with Swift. The matter has been submitted to
the Superior Court of the State of Arizona for definition of issues and
referral for further arbitration proceedings. The Company is not a party to
any of these proceedings and does not believe these proceedings will affect
its business or financial condition.
