NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 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 three month period ended March 31, 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 month periods ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 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.
6
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,
an increase in net earnings of $87,000 and an increase in earnings per share of
$0.01 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997.
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 first quarters ended
March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 is not expected to be material.

===========================================
Results of Operations
Operating revenue increased by $4.0 million, or 11%, to $41.0 million in the
first quarter of 1997 from $37.0 million in 1996. The increase in operating
revenue is primarily attributable to additional volume from the Company's
Forward Air operations, which increased 25% during the first quarter of 1997
compared to the prior-year period.
The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percent of operating revenue) for
the three month period ended March 31, 1997 was 95.3% compared to 95.5% for the
respective period in 1996. Except as explained below, operating expenses in the
aggregate generally reflect increases proportionate to the increased level of
operations.
8
The components of operating expenses fluctuate between periods primarily because
of the ratio of owner-operators to Company-operated equipment.
Insurance and claims were 6.1% of operating revenue for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997, compared to 4.9% for the same period 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 $681,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $806,000 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in interest costs
during 1997 is due to lower average net borrowings in 1997.
The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1997 was 39% compared to 38% for
the same period in 1996.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Cash flows from operations were $3.1 million for the first three months of 1997
compared with $1.8 million in the same period of 1996. The $1.3 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.
