Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2002
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Landair Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
2. Comprehensive Income
The Company had no items of other comprehensive income in 2002 or 2001 and, accordingly, comprehensive income is equivalent to net income.
3. Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.

5. Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the effective income tax rate varied from the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% primarily as a result of the effect of state income taxes, net of the federal benefit, and permanent differences.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
The primary claims in the Companys business are workers compensation, property damage, auto liability and medical benefits. Most of the Companys insurance coverage provides for self-insurance levels with primary and excess coverage which management believes is sufficient to adequately protect the Company from catastrophic claims. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been made for all incurred claims up to the self-insured limits, including provision for estimated claims incurred but not reported.
The Company estimates its self-insurance loss exposure by evaluating the merits and circumstances surrounding individual known claims, and by performing hindsight analysis to determine an estimate of probable losses on claims incurred but not reported. Such losses could be realized immediately as the events underlying the claims have already occurred as of the balance sheet dates.

Landair Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
6. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)
Because of the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of outstanding claims, as well as uncertainty regarding claims incurred but not reported, it is possible that managements provision for these losses could change materially in the near term. However, no estimate can currently be made of the range of additional loss that is at least reasonably possible.
7. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations, effective for business combinations occurring on or after July 1, 2001, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules in SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statement. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
The Company applied the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning in the first quarter of 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement had no effect on net income upon adoption.
SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, issued in August 2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and for the associated retirement costs. SFAS No. 143, which applies to all entities that have a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets, issued in October 2001, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144, which applies to all entities, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001
Operating revenue decreased by $697,000, or 2.6%, to $26.4 million in the second quarter of 2002 from $27.1 million in 2001. This decrease was the result of a 5.1% decrease in the average tractors in service, including owner-operators, during the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001, partially offset by higher equipment utilization. During the second quarters of 2002 and 2001, the average tractors in service were 728 and 767, respectively. The average revenue per tractor per week increased from $2,531 per tractor per week in the second quarter of 2001 to $2,575 per tractor per week in the second quarter of 2002.
The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue) was 91.3% for the second quarter of 2002 compared to 91.2% for 2001. The increase in the operating ratio in 2002
9
was primarily a result of higher insurance and claims and other operating expenses offset partially by lower salaries, wages and benefits, and other factors as discussed below.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 31.8% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2002 compared with 33.2% in 2001. The decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits as a percentage of operating revenue was attributed to a decrease in the number of non-driver employees the Company employed in the second quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2001 and lower group health costs during the second quarter of 2002 versus the second quarter of 2001. The Company increased its tractor to non-driver employee ratio from approximately 3.9 to one in the second quarter of 2001 to approximately 4.7 to one in the second quarter of 2002. Group health insurance costs as a percentage of revenue decreased from 2.4% of revenue in the second quarter of 2001 to 1.5% of revenue in the second quarter of 2002. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in the percentage of Company-operated tractors as a percentage of the fleet as a whole including owner-operated tractors. Company- operated tractors represented 72.5% of the fleet in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 71.6% in the second quarter of 2001.
Purchased transportation was 25.0% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 24.8% in 2001. In the second quarter of 2002, owner-operated tractors averaged approximately 27.5% of the Companys fleet. In the second quarter of 2001, owner-operated tractors averaged approximately 28.4% of the Companys fleet.
Fuel and fuel taxes were 10.0% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 10.8% in 2001. The decrease in fuel and fuel taxes as a percentage of operating revenue during the second quarter of 2002 is primarily attributable to a decrease in the average price of fuel, net of fuel surcharge, in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001.
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue was 9.1% in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 8.7% in 2001. Depreciation and amortization expense is relatively a fixed cost and did not fluctuate significantly from the second quarter of 2001 compared to the second quarter of 2002. A lower revenue base in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001 increased depreciation and amortization expense upward in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same quarter in 2001.
Insurance and claims were 2.9% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 2.5% in 2001. The increase in insurance and claims expense is primarily a result of an unfavorable loss experience during the second quarter of 2002 compared with 2001.
Operating leases were 1.5% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2002 compared to 1.6% in 2001.
Other operating expenses, a large component of which relates to equipment maintenance, were 11.0% of operating revenue in the second quarter of 2002 compared with 9.6% in 2001.
10
Equipment maintenance costs increased to 5.3% of operating costs in the second quarter of 2002 from 4.1% of operating costs in the second quarter of 2001.
Interest expense was $25,000, or 0.1% of operating revenue, in the second quarter of 2002 compared with $342,000 or 1.2% in 2001. The decrease was a result of lower average net borrowings during 2002 resulting from the Companys repayment of a substantial portion of its long-term debt coupled with lower effective interest rates in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter of 2001.
The combined federal and state effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 was 38.0% compared to 39.8% for 2001.
As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $264,000 from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2001 to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2002.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001
Operating revenue decreased by $4.1 million, or 7.2%, to $52.0 million in the first six months of 2002 from $56.1 million in 2001. This decrease was the result of a 10.8% decrease in the average tractors in service, including owner-operators, during the first six months of 2002 compared with the same period in 2001, partially offset by higher equipment utilization. During the first six months of 2002 and 2001, the average tractors in service were 728 and 816, respectively. The average revenue per tractor per week increased from $2,480 per tractor per week in the first six months of 2001 to $2,568 per tractor per week in the first six months of 2002.
The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue) was 92.2% for the first six months of 2002 compared to 91.9% for 2001. The increase in the operating ratio in 2002 was primarily a result of the factors discussed below.
Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 32.2% of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared to 33.6% in 2001. The decrease in salaries, wages and employee benefits as a percentage of operating revenue was due to a decrease in the number of non-driver employees the Company employed in the first six months of 2002 compared to the first six months of 2001 and lower group health costs during the first six months of 2002 versus the first six months of 2001. The Company increased its tractor to non-driver employee ratio from approximately 4.1 to one in the first six months of 2001 to approximately 4.6 to one in the first six months of 2002. Group health insurance costs as a percentage of revenue decreased from 2.8% of revenue in the first six months of 2001 to 1.4% of revenue in the first six months of 2002. These reductions were partially offset by an increase in the percentage of Company-operated tractors as a percentage of the fleet as a whole including owner-operated tractors. Company-operated tractors represented 72.5% of the fleet in the first six months of 2002 compared to 68.4% in the first six months of 2001.
11
Purchased transportation was 24.2% of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared to 25.7% in 2001. The decrease in purchased transportation as a percentage of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the percentage of owner-operated tractors as a percentage of the Companys overall fleet. In the first six months of 2002, owner-operated tractors averaged approximately 27.5% of the Companys fleet. In the first six months of 2001, owner-operated tractors averaged approximately 31.6% of the Companys fleet.
Fuel and fuel taxes were 10.4% of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared to 10.5% in 2001. The decrease in fuel and fuel taxes as a percentage of operating revenue during the first six months of 2002 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average price of fuel, net of fuel surcharge, during the first six months of 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 and was offset by an increase in the percentage of Company owned tractors compared to owner-operator tractors as previously discussed. Owner-operators are responsible for purchasing their own fuel.
Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue was 9.2% in the first six months of 2002 compared to 8.5% in 2001. The increase in depreciation and amortization as a percentage of operating revenue is attributable to the increase in the percent of Company-operated tractors as a percentage of the Companys overall fleet as previously discussed.
Insurance and claims were 3.9% of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared with 2.7% in 2001. The increase in insurance and claims expense was primarily a result of an increase in vehicle liability claims during the first six months of 2002 compared with 2001.
Operating leases were 1.7% of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared to 1.5% in 2001. The Company leased additional revenue equipment on a short-term basis in the first six months of 2002 to supplement customer shipping demands in certain markets.
Other operating expenses, a large component of which relates to equipment maintenance, were 10.7% of operating revenue in the first six months of 2002 compared with 9.4% in 2001. Equipment maintenance costs increased to 5.0% of operating costs in the first six months of 2002 from 3.9% of operating costs in the first six months of 2001.
Interest expense was $61,000, or 0.1% of operating revenue, in the first six months of 2002 compared with $802,000 or 1.4% in 2001. The decrease was a result of lower average net borrowings during 2002 resulting from the Companys strategy to repay long-term debt coupled with lower effective interest rates in the first six months of 2002 compared to the first six months of 2001.
The combined federal and state effective tax rate for the first six months of 2002 was 38.0% compared to 39.9% for 2001.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by $431,000 from $2.3 million in the first six months of 2001 to $2.7 million in the first six months of 2002.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Working capital needs generally have been met with cash flows from operations and borrowings under credit agreements. Net cash provided by operating activities of the Company was $7.8 million for the first six months of 2002 compared with $10.9 million in the same period of 2001.
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $4.3 million in the first six months of 2002 compared with net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $1.9 million in the same period of 2001. Investing activities consisted primarily of the purchase of revenue equipment during the first six months of 2002. Investing activities consisted primarily of the proceeds from the disposal of revenue equipment during the second quarter of 2001.
Net cash used in financing activities was $3.5 million in the first six months of 2002 compared with net cash used in financing activities of $12.7 million in the same period of 2001. Financing activities consisted primarily of the repayment of long-term debt during the first six months of 2002 and 2001.
The Company has a working capital line of credit facility. Subject to maintenance of financial covenants and ratios, this credit facility permits the Company to borrow up to $15.0 million under the working capital line of credit. Interest rates for advances under the facility vary based on covenants related to total indebtedness, cash flows, results of operations and other ratios. The facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% to 1.75% and is secured by accounts receivable and certain revenue equipment. The Companys working capital line of credit expires on April 30, 2004. Availability under the line of credit is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of credit. Among other restrictions, the terms of the line of credit require maintenance of certain levels of net worth and other financial ratios. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $3.1 million of letters of credit outstanding under the working capital line of credit facility. As of June 30, 2002, the Company had $11.9 million of available additional borrowing capacity under the working capital line of credit.
The Company expects to finance its normal operating requirements and planned revenue equipment purchases through available borrowing capacity under its existing line of credit and cash generated by operations. The availability of debt financing or equity capital will depend upon the Companys financial condition and results of operations as well as prevailing market conditions and other factors over which the Company has little or no control.
In February 2002, the Companys Board of Directors created a Special Committee of the Board for the purpose of evaluating and advising the Board with respect to a proposed transaction with Warehouse Logistics, L.L.C. (Warehouse), a company owned by Scott M. Niswonger and John A. Tweed, both of whom are officers, directors and shareholders of the Company. The Special Committee consists of the Companys independent directors. Subsequent thereto, the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Warehouse to acquire certain assets of Warehouse consisting primarily of service contracts and leasehold interests for $8 million payable in cash plus assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive agreements, approval of the transaction by the Special Committee and other conditions, including obtaining financing on acceptable terms, receipt by the Company of a fairness opinion and completion of due diligence. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the transaction will be consummated.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains statements with respect to the Companys beliefs and expectations of the outcomes of future events that are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Written forward-looking statements may appear in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in press releases
13
and in reports to shareholders. Oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Companys executive officers and directors on behalf of the Company to the press, potential investors, securities analysts and others. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. The Company relies on this safe harbor in making such disclosures. In connection with this safe harbor provision, the Company is hereby identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company in this report. Without limitation, factors that might cause such a difference include economic factors such as recessions, inflation, higher interest rates, downturns in customer business cycles, competition, surplus inventories, loss of a major customer, fuel price increases, the Companys lack of prior operating history as an independent entity, the inability of the Companys information systems to handle increased volume of freight, and the lack of availability of qualified drivers and independent owner-operators needed to serve the Companys transportation needs. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, estimates, projects, and similar expressions. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements contained in this report to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and commodity prices. To reduce such risks, the Company from time to time uses forward purchase contracts for fuel. All such forward purchase transactions are authorized by management.
Interest Rates
At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of the Companys total variable rate debt was estimated to be approximately $2.5 million and $8.5 million, respectively, which approximated carrying value based on the Companys current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At these borrowing levels, a hypothetical 10.0% adverse change in interest rates on the debt would increase interest expense and decrease income before income taxes by approximately $4,000 and $45,000 in the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. These amounts were determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rate increase on the Companys borrowing cost at the June 30, 2002 and 2001 borrowing levels.
Commodities
The availability and price of fuel are subject to fluctuations from factors such as seasonality, weather, government programs and policies, and changes in global production. To reduce price sensitivity caused by market fluctuations, the Company from time to time enters into forward purchase contracts. At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company had no outstanding commitments to purchase fuel.
The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are forward-looking statements of market risk based on the assumed occurrence of certain adverse market conditions.

Actual results in the future may differ materially from those projected as a result of actual developments in the market.
