NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Gasel
Transportation Lines, Inc. and its subsidiary (the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) have been included. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates. Operating results for the six
month period ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Report on Form 10-SB for the year
ended December 31, 1999.

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

OVERVIEW.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial
Statements, including footnotes, contained herein. The discussion is
qualified in its entirety by the foregoing. Historical results of operations
and the percentage relationships among any amounts in the Financial
Statements, and any trends that may appear to be inferable therefrom, should
not be taken as necessarily indicative of trends of operations or results of
operations for any future periods.

The discussion contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements involve risks and uncertainties, and the cautionary statements set
forth below identify important factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those predicted in the forward-looking statements.
These factors include, but are not limited to, adverse changes in general
economic conditions, including adverse conditions to the companies that are
the Company's core of shippers, fuel prices, driver costs, the ability to
have enough drivers to utilize the Company equipment, the ability to finance
equipment, interest rates, the ability to borrow working capital, and other
factors.

The interim financial information for the quarters and six months periods
ended June 30, 2000, and June 30, 1999, are unaudited. The statements
included reflect all adjustments that the Company considers necessary for a
fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods
covered and of the financial condition of the Company at the date of the
interim balance sheet. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results for the entire year

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.

Freight revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2000, were $3,230,950,
an increase of $380,371 ($13.3%) from the second quarter of 1999. Training
school revenues for the second quarter of 2000 were $90,071, an increase of
$30,808 (52%) from the second quarter 1999. The increase in freight revenues
was basically attributable to the fact that the Company placed 20 new
tractors into service during January 2000. Training school revenue increases
were due to increased tuition costs to the students and an increase in the
number of students.

Equipment operating expenses increased in the second quarter of 2000 to
$2,773,200 from $2,288,565 for the second quarter of 1999. This was an
increase of $484,635 (21.2%) from the prior year. The increase in expenses
was primarily due to the increase in the amount of equipment being operated
and the increased cost of fuel resulting from higher fuel prices. Operating
expenses went down $22,167 (6.1%) to $339,824 for the second quarter of 2000
compared to $361,991 for the like period of 1999.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2000 was $207,997, a decrease of
$56,539 (21%) from the second quarter of 1999. The gross profit margin went
down from 8.7% in the quarterly period ended June 30, 1999 to 1.8% for the
same period in 2000. Contributing factors were primarily the increased cost
of diesel fuel, reduced freight revenues per tractor and increased general
and administrative costs.

The net results were that the Company had a net loss after provision for
income taxes for the second quarter of 2000 of $9,887 compared to $51,678 for
the second quarter of 1999, which is a decrease of $41,791 (81%) from the
prior year.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000.

Freight revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2000, increased $812,604
(14.6%) to $6,396,539 from $5,583,935 at the end of the six months period
ending June 30, 1999. Training school revenues for the six months ended June
30, 2000, increased $58,996 to $176,757 (50%) from $117,761 for the six
months period ended June 30, 1999. The increase in freight revenues was
basically attributable to the fact that the Company had more revenue
equipment in service and because of fuel surcharges that were added during
the year 2000. Training school revenue increases were due to increased
tuition costs to the students and an increase in the number of students.

Equipment operating expenses increased in the six months period ended June
30, 2000 by $1,090,869 (24.2%) to $5,592,016 from $4,501,147 for the same
period in 1999. The increase in expenses was primarily due to the increase in
the amount of equipment being operated and the increased cost of fuel.
Operating expenses increased $148,839 (20.9%) to $860,705 for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to $711,866 for the same period of 1999.

Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $121,356, a
decrease of $377,827 (75.7%) from $499,183 for the same period in 1999. The
gross profit margin went down from 9.1% in the second quarter of 1999 to 6.3%
in 2000. Contributing factors were primarily the increased cost of diesel
fuel, reduced freight revenues per tractor and increased general and
administrative costs.

The net results were that the Company had a net loss after provision for income
taxes for the six months period ended June 30, 2000 of ($183,329) compared to a
net profit of $105,579 for the same period of 1999, which is a decrease of
$288,908 from the prior year.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY.

The net loss for the first six months of 2000 has resulted in the Company
being in a need for working capital. Cash at the end of the period was only
$8,270.

The Company has increased its short term borrowings and is working with its
long term lenders to reach solutions to its capital needs. Internally, the
Company needs to operate at a profit. To help attain operating profits,
during the second quarter of 2000 management instituted several changes in
the method of Company operations to combat the price of fuel, to reduce
mileage without freight and generally to try to reduce operating costs and
increase equipment productivity. To reduce the cost of fuel per mile, the
Company reduced the maximum speed that the Company tractors could go, which
has resulted in increasing the average miles per gallon from 5.3 to 5.8 for
the month of June, 2000. The Company expects to ultimately reach a level of
operations at 5.95 miles per gallon. The Company is also working on
implementing a program with restricted fuel stops at preferred providers that
it hopes will reduce the price of fuel.

Other policies instituted included a new driver wage program that is
projected to increase the average revenue miles per tractor and to decrease
the amount of deadhead miles (miles traveled without carrying freight),
reorganizing the freight dispatch department to increase productivity, a
hiring program and driver incentives program to reduce driver turnover and
improve the quality of the Company drivers, and shifting of equipment among
the Company terminals to make better utilization of it.
