ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we will use the terms we, our, us and
Allied to refer to Allied Holdings, Inc. (a Georgia corporation) and its subsidiaries on a
consolidated basis and, as the context requires, to Allied Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries that
filed for Chapter 11 pursuant to the U.S Bankruptcy Code.)
(1) Organization and Operations
Company Overview
We are a vehicle-hauling company providing a range of logistics and other support services to the
automotive industry. Our principal operating divisions are Allied Automotive Group, Inc. (Allied
Automotive Group) and Axis Group, Inc. (Axis Group). Allied Automotive Group, through its
subsidiaries, is engaged in the business of transporting automobiles, light trucks, and
sports-utility vehicles (SUVs) from manufacturing plants, ports, auctions, and railway
distribution points to automobile dealerships. Axis Group, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in
the business of securing and managing vehicle distribution services, automobile inspections,
auction and yard management services, vehicle tracking, vehicle accessorization, and dealer
preparatory services for the automotive industry.
Chapter 11 Overview
On July 31, 2005 (the Petition Date), Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its
subsidiaries (the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Chapter 11). Our captive insurance company, Haul Insurance Limited, as
well as our subsidiaries in Mexico and Bermuda (the Non-debtors) were not included in the Chapter
11 filings. Our Canadian subsidiaries obtained approval for creditor protection under the
Companies Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada and are included among the subsidiaries that filed
voluntary petitions seeking bankruptcy protection. Like Chapter 11, the Companies Creditors
Arrangement Act in Canada allows for reorganization under the protection of the court system.
The Debtors are currently operating their business as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Bankruptcy Court) and cannot
engage in transactions considered to be outside of the ordinary course of business without
obtaining Bankruptcy Court approval. We currently have the exclusive right to file a plan of
reorganization until November 1, 2006 and to solicit acceptance of the plan through January 2,
2007. The exclusivity period can be extended at our request, if approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
However, we can provide no assurance as to whether any request to extend the exclusivity period
will be approved. Proceedings between the Petition Date and the date that the plan of
reorganization is consummated will be referred to as the Chapter 11 Proceedings. See Note 3 for
other disclosures required by entities in reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.
(2) Accounting and Reporting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
statements and are based on the Security and Exchange Commissions Regulation S-X and its
instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all of the information and notes required by
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete financial statements. However,
except as disclosed in this report, there have been no material changes in the information that we
disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In the opinion of management, the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
items, necessary to present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows
for the interim periods presented. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. As a result of our Chapter 11 filings, we have applied
the guidance in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7
(SOP 90-7), Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code.

ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going
concern basis, which assumes that we will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will
realize our assets and discharge our post-petition liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
However, continuation as a going concern is predicated upon, among other things, the confirmation
of a plan of reorganization, compliance with the provisions of the debtor-in-possession facility
(See Note 11), our ability to reach an agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters
(IBT or Teamsters) on a new collective bargaining agreement, our ability to generate sufficient
cash from operations, our ability to obtain financing sufficient to satisfy our future obligations
and our ability to comply with the terms of the ultimate plan of reorganization. The accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue as a going concern, nor do they include any adjustments to the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that might be required as a result of the plan of reorganization. A plan
of reorganization could substantially change the amounts currently recorded in the accompanying
unaudited consolidated financial statements. Asset and liability carrying amounts do not purport to
represent the realizable or settlement values that will be reflected in the plan of reorganization
and it is not possible to estimate the impact of the Chapter 11 Proceedings on our financial
statements. As a result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, we may take, or be required to take, actions
that may cause assets to be realized or liabilities to be settled for amounts other than those
reflected in the financial statements.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements in order to
conform to the current period presentation.
Use of Estimates and Seasonality
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that management make a
number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well
as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant items subject to
estimates and assumptions include the carrying amounts of property and equipment and goodwill;
valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax assets; self-insurance reserves,
assets and obligations related to employee benefits; liabilities subject to compromise; and
reorganization items. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Our revenues are seasonal, with the second and fourth quarters generally experiencing higher
revenues than the first and third quarters as a result of the higher volume of vehicles shipped.
The volume of vehicles shipped is generally higher during the second quarter as North American
light vehicle production has historically been at its highest level during this quarter due to
higher consumer sales of automobiles, light trucks and SUVs in the spring and early summer. The
introduction of new models in the fall of each year combined with the manufacturers motivation to
ship vehicles before calendar year-end, increase shipments to dealers through the fourth quarter.
During the first and third quarters, vehicle shipments typically decline due to lower production
volume during those periods. The third quarter volume does benefit from the introduction of new
models, but the net volume for the quarter is typically lower than the second and fourth quarters
due to the scheduled original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) plant shutdowns, which generally occur
early in the third quarter. The first quarter volume is negatively impacted by the holiday
shutdown in December of each year and the relatively low inventory of vehicles to ship as a result
of maximizing shipments at the end of the year. As a result of these and other factors, our
operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
(3) Accounting for Reorganization
As a result of our Chapter 11 filings, we have applied the guidance in SOP 90-7 in the preparation
of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements. SOP 90-7 does not change the
application of GAAP in the preparation of financial statements. However, SOP 90-7 does require
that financial statements, for periods including and subsequent to the filing of a Chapter 11
petition, distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization
from the ongoing operations of the business and also that liabilities subject to compromise be
segregated from those not subject to compromise. In accordance with SOP 90-7 we have:
|
|
|
separated liabilities that are subject to compromise from liabilities that are not
subject to compromise; |

distinguished transactions and events that are directly associated with the
reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business; and |
|
|
|
|
ceased accruing interest on the 85/8% senior notes (Senior
Notes). |
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Liabilities subject to compromise include certain known liabilities incurred by the Debtors prior
to the Petition Date. Liabilities subject to compromise exclude pre-petition claims for which the
Debtors have received the Bankruptcy Courts approval to pay, such as claims related to active
employees and retirees, maintenance of insurance programs, cargo damage claims and claims related
to certain critical service vendors. Liabilities subject to compromise are included at amounts
expected to be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court and are subject to future adjustments that may
result from negotiations, actions by the Bankruptcy Court, developments with respect to disputed
claims or matters arising out of the proof of claims process whereby a creditor may prove that the
amount of a claim differs from the amount that we have recorded.
The bar date set by the Bankruptcy Court for the submission of claims by creditors was February 17,
2006. A number of proofs of claim were filed against the Debtors by various creditors and security
holders and we have not reconciled these claims to our records. As part of the claims
reconciliation process, the Debtors will review these claims for validity. As claims are
reconciled, the Debtors may need to record additional liabilities subject to compromise.
Adjustments arising out of the claims reconciliation process could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
We ceased the recording of interest on liabilities subject to compromise, primarily the Senior
Notes, as of the Petition Date. Contractual interest on the Senior Notes in excess of reported
interest was approximately $3.2 million and $6.5 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, contractual interest not accrued since the Petition
Date was approximately $11.9 million, excluding any potential compound or default interest arising
from events of default related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings.
Liabilities subject to compromise are as follows at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 (in
thousands):

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN
48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step
is recognition: The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position
will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The second step
is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is
measured to determine the amount of the benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax
position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of
being realized. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions to be completed prior to assessing
the need for a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Additional disclosure requirements of
the Interpretation include a rollforward of unrecognized tax benefits, information regarding the
uncertainty of unrecognized tax benefits, a description of all open tax years by jurisdiction and
the accounting policy on the income statement classification of interest and penalties and amounts
of each recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48

is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2006, which would be effective for us on January 1, 2007. A change in net
assets as a result of applying the provisions of this Interpretation will be considered a change in
accounting principle with the cumulative effect of the change treated as an offsetting adjustment
to the opening balance of accumulated deficit in the period of transition. We have not determined
the effect on our financial position or results of operations of adopting FIN 48.

We utilize primarily one company to remanufacture and supply certain parts needed to maintain a
significant portion of our fleet of specialized tractors and trailers (together called Rigs),
which we include in property and equipment. While we believe that a limited number of other
companies could provide comparable remanufacturing services and parts, a change in this service
provider could cause a delay in and increase the cost of the remanufacturing process and the
maintenance of our Rigs. Such delays and additional costs could adversely affect our operating
results as well as our Rig remanufacturing and maintenance programs and customer relationships. In
addition, we purchase our tractors primarily through one manufacturing company. We have not yet
determined whether another manufacturer could provide us with the number of specialized tractors
that we need to operate our fleet of Rigs and if so, we have not determined the cost.

The deferred financing costs at December 31, 2005 represent costs related to the
debtor-in-possession financing discussed in Note 11, which were fully amortized as interest expense
as of May 18, 2006. As previously disclosed, during the first quarter of 2006 we obtained
forbearance from our lenders as a remedy to certain covenant
violations. The forbearance period was scheduled to end on May 18, 2006. Accordingly, we reduced the
amortization period of the deferred financing costs so that the amortization period ended on May
18, 2006 resulting in the full amortization of these costs at June 30, 2006.
The write-off and amortization of deferred financing costs was $2.0 million and $5.7 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively and $5.6 million and $6.5 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
(8) Accounts and Notes Payable and Accrued Liabilities
We enter into notes payable with third parties for insurance financing arrangements. Outstanding
notes payable for insurance financing arrangements as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were
$14.3 million and $33.4 million, respectively, and are included in accounts and notes payable in
the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. These amounts bear interest at rates
ranging between 5.75% and 7.96% and are due in monthly installments, generally over a period of
less than a year. The weighted-average interest rate on amounts outstanding at June 30, 2006 was
7.56%.

(9) Claims and Insurance Reserves
We retain losses for certain risks within certain limits through high deductibles or self-insured
retentions. For certain risks, coverage for losses is provided by primary and reinsurance companies
unrelated to our company. Haul Insurance Limited, our captive insurance subsidiary, provides
reinsurance coverage to certain of our licensed insurance carriers for certain types of losses for
certain years within our insurance program, primarily insured workers compensation, automobile and
general liability risks. Haul Insurance Limited was not included in the companies that filed for
Chapter 11. In states where we are insured for workers compensation claims, the majority of our
risk in 2006 is covered by a fully insured program with no deductible.
The parties to our insurance arrangements have agreed that certain contractual documentation needs
to be corrected within the automobile policy and we filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to
obtain approval for the amendments agreed to by the parties.

The majority of our pre-petition liabilities related to insurance and claims are not classified as
liabilities subject to compromise since we have received the Bankruptcy Courts approval to
maintain our existing insurance programs. Pre-petition liabilities classified as subject to
compromise represent reserves for product liability claims.
We believe that adequate provision has been made for all incurred claims including those not
reported. However, favorable or unfavorable developments subsequent to the date of our estimates
could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

A substantial number of our employees are covered by union-sponsored, collectively bargained,
multiemployer pension plans. In the event we withdraw our participation in any of these plans, we
could incur a withdrawal liability for a portion of the unfunded benefit obligation of the plan, if
any. If a withdrawal were to occur, the liability would be actuarially determined based on factors
at the time of withdrawal.
A number of proofs of claim related to pre-petition liabilities under the multiemployer pension
plans to which we contribute were filed on or before the bar date established by the Bankruptcy
Court. The majority of the claims were filed on a contingent basis, which means that no plan
withdrawal liability was asserted, but should a withdrawal occur, we would have an obligation
related to the withdrawal. Currently, we have no intention of withdrawing our participation in
these plans.
Two such claims, totaling $15.8 million, assert general unsecured claims for withdrawal liability
on a noncontingent basis. While we have not validated these claims, we have determined that it is
probable that a withdrawal had occurred in each case prior to the Petition Date and that the claim
amounts asserted are reasonable estimates of the
withdrawal liability. Accordingly, the amount of $15.8 million is included in liabilities subject
to compromise as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
(b) Employee Retention Plan
The Allied Holdings, Inc. Amended Severance Pay and Retention and Emergence Bonus Plan for Key
Employees was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on January 6, 2006. The Plan includes three
components: a severance component, a stay bonus component and a discretionary bonus component.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized reorganization expenses of
$773,000 and $1,589,000, respectively related to the stay and discretionary bonus components. No
expense was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 related to the severance
portion of the employee retention plan. The liabilities related to the Plan were $683,000 and
$173,000 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, and are included in other accrued
liabilities in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

DIP Facility
In connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings, on August 1, 2005, we entered into a financing
agreement (the DIP Facility) for debtor-in-possession financing of up to $230 million. General
Electric Capital Corporation and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. currently serve as agents for
the lenders. The DIP Facility originally provided for aggregate financing of up to $230 million
comprised of (i) a $130 million revolving credit facility (Revolver), which includes a swing-line
credit commitment of $10 million and up to $75 million in letters of credit, (ii) a $20 million
term loan (DIP Facility Term Loan A) and (iii) an $80 million term loan (DIP Facility Term Loan
B). The Revolver bears interest at an annual rate, at our option, of either an annual index rate
(based on the greater of the base rate on corporate loans as published from time to time in The
Wall Street Journal or the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus 2.00%, or LIBOR plus 3.00%. In
addition, we are charged a letter of credit fee under the Revolver payable monthly at a rate per
annum equal to 2.75% times the amount of all outstanding letters of credit under the Revolver.
There is also a fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Revolver.
During 2006, we have continued to be impacted by liquidity constraints and violated various
covenants included in the DIP Facility. As previously disclosed, these violations required us to
enter into certain amendments to the DIP Facility and forbearance agreements. On June 30, 2006, we
entered into a fifth amendment (the Fifth Amendment) to the DIP Facility to provide us with $30
million of additional availability through a new term loan (Term Loan C). Term Loan C will bear
interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 9.5%, payable at our option in cash each month or in kind
by addition to principal on a monthly basis, with interest compounded on a monthly basis. The
maturity date for Term Loan C is June 30, 2007. The Fifth Amendment provides us with additional
availability by allowing us to pay interest in kind on DIP Facility Term Loan B by addition to
principal on a monthly basis. As a result, the DIP Facility now provides for debtor-in-possession
financing of up to $260 million plus interest paid in kind. Further, the Fifth Amendment reduces
the interest rate on DIP Facility Term Loan B from LIBOR plus 9.5% to LIBOR plus 8.5%. The
interest rate on DIP Facility Term Loan A remained unchanged at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 5.5%.
As of June 30, 2006, the interest rates on the Revolver, DIP Facility Term Loan A and DIP Facility
Term Loan B were 10.25%, 10.63% and 13.63% respectively.
The Fifth Amendment extended the maturity date of DIP Facility Term Loan B and Term Loan A from
February 2, 2007 to June 30, 2007. The maturity date of the Revolver remains February 2, 2007. In
addition, the Fifth Amendment revises the existing financial covenants set forth in the DIP
Facility and waives all the defaults under
the DIP Facility that we disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2005. We believe that the additional availability obtained by the Fifth Amendment should
provide us with the cash required to prevent the previously projected liquidity shortfalls and
enable us to meet our working capital needs during the expected term of the Chapter 11 Proceedings.
The Fifth Amendment has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
We will be obligated to repay the DIP Facility prior to maturity if the plan of reorganization is
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and becomes effective prior to the expiration of the DIP
Facility. The agreement covering the DIP Facility also requires mandatory prepayment from the net
cash proceeds of any asset sales, extraordinary receipts, or any insurance proceeds that we
receive. The DIP Facility, as amended, also includes customary affirmative, negative, and
financial covenants binding on our company, including implementation of a cash management system as
set forth in the DIP Facility. The negative covenants limit our ability to, among other things,
incur debt, incur liens, make investments, sell assets, or declare or pay any dividends on our
capital stock. The financial covenants included in the DIP Facility also limit the amount of our
capital expenditures, set forth a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio,
and require that we maintain minimum consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization as set forth in the DIP Facility.
In addition, the DIP Facility includes customary events of default including events of default
related to (i) the failure to comply with the financial covenants set forth in the DIP Facility,
(ii) the failure to establish and maintain the cash management system set forth in the DIP
Facility, (iii) the conversion of the Chapter 11 Proceedings to a Chapter 7 case or the appointment
of a Chapter 11 trustee with enlarged powers, (iv) the granting of certain other super-priority
administrative expense claims or non-permitted liens or the invalidity of liens securing the DIP
Facility,

(v) the stay, amendment or reversal of the Bankruptcy Court orders approving the DIP
Facility, (vi) the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or entry of an order by the court
dismissing the Chapter 11 case if such plan or order does not provide for payment in full of the
DIP Facility or (vii) the granting of relief from the automatic stay to holders of security
interests in our assets that would have a material adverse effect on our company.
Obligations under the DIP Facility are secured by 100% of the capital stock of our domestic and
Canadian subsidiaries, 66% of the capital stock of our direct foreign subsidiaries other than those
domiciled in Canada, and all of our current and after-acquired U.S. and Canadian personal and real
property. The DIP Facility entitles the lenders to super-priority administrative expense claim
status under the Bankruptcy Code and will generally permit the ordinary course payment of
professionals and administrative expenses prior to the occurrence of an event of default under the
DIP Facility or a default under the Bankruptcy Court orders approving the DIP Facility.
The amount available under the $130 million Revolver may be reduced based on the calculation of
eligible Revolver collateral. As of June 30, 2006, $105.8 million of eligible Revolver collateral
was available. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $38.5 million of the Revolver was committed
under letters of credit primarily related to the settlement of insurance claims and $42.4 million
in loans were outstanding under the Revolver. We had approximately $18.6 million and $14.2 million
available under the Revolver as of June 30, 2006 and August 26, 2006, respectively. As of August
26, 2006, we had borrowed $10 million from the $30 million available under Term loan C. As a
result, we had $20 million available under Term Loan C as of August 26, 2006.
Canadian Revolving Credit Facility
Our subsidiary, Allied Systems (Canada) Company, also has a $2.5 million revolving credit facility
with a bank in Canada (the Canadian Revolver) for use in our Canadian operations. The Canadian
Revolver bears interest at the banks prime lending rate plus 0.5% and is secured by a letter of
credit of $2.6 million, which is included in the $38.5 million of outstanding letters of credit
discussed in Note 14(b).
Senior Notes
On September 30, 1997, we issued the $150 million 85/ 8 % Senior Notes through a
private placement. The Senior Notes were subsequently registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, are payable in semi-annual installments of interest only and mature on October 1, 2007.
Borrowings under the Senior Notes are general unsecured obligations of Allied Holdings, Inc. and
are guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries (the Guarantor Subsidiaries). The
guarantees are full and unconditional and there are no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantor
Subsidiaries to make distributions to our company. We own 100% of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The
following companies (the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries) do not guarantee the obligations under the
Senior Notes:
|
|
|
Haul Insurance Limited; |
|
|
|
|
Arrendadora de Equipo Para el Transporte de Automoviles, S. de R.L. de C.V. ; |

Axis Logistica, S. de R.L. de C.V. ; |
|
|

|
Ace Operations, LLC. |
See Note 19 for combined balance sheet information, combined statement of operations information
and combined statement of cash flows information for the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the
Nonguarantor Subsidiaries.
The agreement governing the Senior Notes sets forth a number of negative covenants, which would
limit our ability to, among other things, purchase or redeem stock, make dividend or other
distributions, make investments, and incur or repay debt (with the exception of payment of interest
or principal at stated maturity). One such covenant would limit our ability to incur more than
$230 million of additional indebtedness beyond the $150 million that existed on the date that the
Senior Notes were issued. Although we are not presently in compliance with some of these covenants
as a result of the filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, any action to be
taken by the holders of the Senior Notes as a result of these violations has been stayed by the
Bankruptcy Court.

(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
The filings for protection under Chapter 11 on July 31, 2005 constituted an event of default under
the Senior Notes. The indenture agreement governing the Senior Notes provides that as a result of
this event of default, the outstanding amount of the Senior Notes became immediately due and
payable without further action by any holder of the Senior Notes or the trustee under the
indenture. However, payment of the Senior Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments, is
automatically stayed as of the Petition Date, absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court. As a
result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings, and pursuant to SOP 90-7, we have reclassified the
outstanding balance on the Senior Notes along with the related interest accrued as of the Petition
Date to liabilities subject to compromise.
(12) Impairment of Goodwill
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, we review our goodwill annually for impairment or on an interim basis if an
event occurs or circumstances change that would potentially reduce the fair value of our goodwill
below its carrying amount. SFAS No. 142 requires that if the fair value of a reporting unit is less
than its carrying amount, including goodwill (Step I), further analysis (Step II) is required to
measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The amount by which the reporting units
carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the reporting units goodwill,
determined in Step II, is to be recognized as an impairment loss. Our reporting units are the
Allied Automotive Group and the Axis Group.
As a result of circumstances affecting Allied Automotive Group that culminated at the end of the
second quarter of 2005, we reassessed its goodwill for impairment as of June 30, 2005. Allied
Automotive Group was adversely affected by the actual and forecasted reduction of OEM production of
automobiles in 2005. Accordingly, we revised our forecasts downward in the second quarter of 2005
from those used to perform our annual impairment test as of October 1, 2004. Our deteriorating
financial performance combined with our lenders reaction to our revised forecasts resulted in the
need to execute amendments to our Pre-petition Facility on a weekly basis to address our borrowing
capacity and various covenant violations during the second quarter of 2005. The assessment
resulted in an impairment loss of $79.2 million and represented the entire carrying value of
goodwill for this reporting unit, since the estimated fair value of this reporting units goodwill
was determined to be zero. To determine the fair value of the reporting unit, management
considered available information including market values of securities, appraisals of the
Automotive Groups long-term tangible assets and discounted cash flows from our revised forecasts.
The discounted cash flow analysis involved estimates and assumptions by management regarding future
sales volume, prices, inflation, expenses and capital spending, discount rates, exchange rates, tax
rates and other factors. The assumptions used were consistent with the assumptions used for
internal planning. The impairment loss is reflected as Impairment of goodwill in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of operations.
(13) Income Taxes
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the income tax (expense) benefit
differed from the amounts computed by applying statutory rates to the reported income (loss) before
income taxes since we did not meet the more likely than not criteria to recognize the tax benefits
of losses in most of our jurisdictions. The loss before income taxes generated deferred tax assets
for which we increased the valuation allowance. For the three
months ended June 30, 2006, no expense was recognized related to the income before income taxes,
except for the minor amount related to foreign jurisdictions where the valuation allowance is not
required, since we reported a year-to-date loss before income taxes and no benefit was recognized
for the loss before income taxes in the first quarter. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2005, we did recognize a tax benefit related to the impairment of goodwill to the extent that
related deferred tax liabilities existed.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Effect of Chapter 11 Filings
As discussed in Note 1, on July 31, 2005 Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its
subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Our
Canadian subsidiaries are included among the subsidiaries that filed voluntary petitions seeking
bankruptcy protection in the Bankruptcy Court, and they also filed applications for creditor
protection under the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act in Canada, which, like Chapter 11, allows
for reorganization under the protection of the court system. Our captive insurance company, Haul
Insurance Limited, as well as our subsidiaries in Mexico and Bermuda were not included in the
Chapter 11 filings.
As debtors-in-possession, we are authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing
business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the
prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. As of the Petition Date, most pending litigation and
pre-petition liabilities are stayed, and absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party,
subject to certain exceptions, may take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to recover
pre-petition claims against us. One exception to this stay of litigation is any action or
proceeding by a governmental agency to enforce its police or regulatory power. The claims asserted
in litigation and proceedings to which the stay applies may be fully and finally resolved in
connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Proceedings and, to the extent not resolved,
will need to be addressed in the context of any plan of reorganization. At this time, it is not
possible to predict the outcome of the Chapter 11 Proceedings or its effect on our business or on
outstanding legal proceedings.
(b) Letters of Credit
At June 30, 2006, we had issued $141.4 million of outstanding letters of credit to third parties
related primarily to the settlement of insurance claims and reserves and support for a line of
credit at one of our foreign subsidiaries. Of the $141.4 million, $38.5 million of these letters of
credit were secured by availability under the Revolver in the DIP Facility and $102.9 million were
issued by our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, and are
collateralized by $102.9 million of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits held
by this subsidiary. We renew these letters of credit annually.
The amount of letters of credit that we may issue under the Revolver may not exceed $75 million and
may be less than this amount based on existing availability under the DIP Facility. We utilized
$38.5 million of this availability at June 30, 2006 and the remaining letter of credit availability
under the DIP Facility as of June 30, 2006 was $18.6 million.
(c) Litigation, Claims, Assessments
We are involved in various litigation and environmental matters relating to employment practices,
damages, and other matters arising from operations in the ordinary course of business. In our
opinion, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial position but could have a material effect on our results of operations in a future
period.
As part of the previously disclosed settlement agreement with Ryder System, Inc. (Ryder), we
issued a letter of credit in favor of Ryder and agreed to certain scheduled increases in the amount
of the letter of credit. At June 30, 2006, the letter of credit totaled $7.5 million and is
included in the $38.5 million of outstanding letters of credit noted in (b) above. Ryder may only
draw on the letter of credit if we fail to pay workers compensation and liability claims assumed
by us in the Ryder Automotive Carrier Group acquisition. We have provided the letter of credit in
favor of Ryder because Ryder has issued a letter of credit to its insurance carrier relating to the
workers compensation and liability claims assumed by us. Under the agreement with Ryder, effective
March 31, 2005 and periodically thereafter, an actuarial valuation will be performed to determine
the remaining amount outstanding of the workers compensation and liability claims that we assumed.
Based on the results of the actuarial valuation, the letter of credit will be adjusted, as
appropriate. As a result of the valuation completed on January 11, 2006, the letter of credit was
reduced by $2.0 million on January 20, 2006. The letter of credit totals $7.5 million as of August
26, 2006.

(d) Purchase and Service Contract Commitments
We have a ten-year agreement with IBM, which commenced in February 2004, whereby IBM provides our
mainframe computer processing services, manages those applications relating to our electronic data
interchange, network services and technical services and provides us with applications development
and support services. Our Chapter 11 filing has not affected the services pursuant to this
contract. The purchase commitment for the remaining life of the agreement was approximately $82.8
million as of June 30, 2006.
(e) Leases
We lease Rigs, office space, computer equipment, and certain terminal facilities under
noncancelable operating lease agreements. Included in these noncancelable leases are operating
lease commitments for approximately 443 Rigs. Lease terms range between five and seven years,
expire between 2006 and 2010, and contain residual guarantees of up to 25% of the original cost of
the Rigs. We included these residual value guarantees in the calculations that we performed in
determining the proper classification of these leases. No accruals for these guarantees were
considered necessary at June 30, 2006.
(f) Collective Bargaining Agreements
Employees of our subsidiary, Allied Systems Ltd., which represents approximately 80% of our U.S.
employees, are represented by the Teamsters. A collective bargaining agreement, with these
employees commenced on June 1, 2003 and will expire on May 31, 2008.
On March 8, 2006, Allied Systems Ltd, made a proposal to the IBT for a new collective bargaining
agreement regarding its employees in the U.S. represented by the Teamsters, by modifying the
current collective bargaining agreement. The proposal seeks to eliminate future increases to
wages, health and welfare benefits and pension contributions as contemplated by the current
collective bargaining agreement and in the aggregate seeks to reduce current total compensation by
approximately 17%. We believe that our proposal would reduce our costs during the remaining term
of the current collective bargaining agreement as long as its proposed terms remain in effect. We
have proposed a new five-year agreement, which would begin as soon as an agreement is reached.
On April 13, 2006 we filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court requesting a 10% reduction in wages
earned under the Master Agreement during the months of May and June 2006. The Bankruptcy Court
granted this motion on May 1, 2006. The order granted by the Bankruptcy Court also allowed us to
avoid paying wage and cost of living increases for the month of June 2006 that were previously
scheduled under the Master Agreement to go into effect on June 1, 2006. The order reduced our
labor costs for employees covered by the collective bargaining agreement in the U.S. in May and
June 2006. The IBT has appealed the order granted by the Bankruptcy Court and the appeal is
pending. Now that the order has expired, we have returned wages for these employees to the level
required by the Master Agreement, including implementing, effective July 1, 2006, the wage and cost
of living increases previously scheduled to go into effect on June 1, 2006.
The agreement with the Teamsters Union in Eastern Canada and our subsidiary, Allied Systems
(Canada) Company was extended on November 20, 2005 for a twelve-month period ending on October 31,
2006. This contract covers those drivers, mechanics and yard personnel that are represented by
the Teamsters Union in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which represent approximately 70% of
our Canadian bargaining employees. We have not yet begun negotiations with the Teamsters Union in
Canada.
(15) Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, requires the presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss)
per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the periods
presented. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities and other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock
or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the earnings of the entity.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we excluded options to acquire approximately
18
ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
1,570,000 and 1,632,000 shares of common stock, respectively from the calculation of diluted
earnings (loss) per share as the impact would have been antidilutive. Similarly, for the six
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we excluded options to acquire approximately 1,570,000 and
1,586,000 shares of common stock, respectively from the calculation of diluted loss per share as
the impact would have been antidilutive. Any plan of reorganization could
require the issuance of new or additional common stock or share-based awards, which could dilute
current equity interests.
(16) Stock-Based Compensation
We have a long-term incentive plan that allows for the issuance of grants or awards of nonqualified
and incentive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and
performance shares to our employees and directors to acquire up to 2,150,000 shares of our common
stock.
We have awarded nonqualified and incentive stock options under our long-term incentive plan that
has been approved by our stockholders. The vesting period for each award varies from a minimum of
two years to a maximum of five years and each award vests ratably by year over the vesting period.
All options expire ten years from the date of the grant if not previously exercised or forfeited.
Under our incentive plan, we are authorized to issue nonqualified and incentive stock options to
employees and non-employee directors to purchase a limited number of our common stock, when the
options vest, at a price not less than the fair market value on the date of grant. As of June 30,
2006, approximately 525,000 shares remain available for issuance out of our long-term incentive
plan. Upon the issuance of stock options, shares are reserved under our long-term incentive plan,
and upon stock option exercise, we increase our outstanding shares and record an increase to
additional paid-in-capital. Upon the consummation of a plan of reorganization, the rights and
values of the stock options issued could be modified significantly. As a result, the options could
lose value, be rendered null and void, be replaced by new options or be otherwise impacted.
Prior to January 1, 2006, SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, required the
adoption of either the fair-value-based method or the intrinsic-value-based method with pro forma
disclosures of the impact of the fair-value-based method. We elected to apply the
intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations. Under this method, we recorded no compensation expense on the date we granted
stock-based awards if the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant was equal to
the exercise price of the stock option, and recognized compensation expense for restricted stock
ratably over the associated service period.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No.
123(R)) using the modified prospective transition method under which compensation expense is
recognized for any new stock options granted and for the unvested portion of outstanding stock
options at the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). We recognize compensation expense on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period. In accordance with the provisions of the modified
prospective method, the financial statements of prior periods have not been restated.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation expense
of approximately $93,000 and $186,000, respectively which reduced our income before income taxes by
$93,000 and increased our loss before income taxes by approximately $186,000, respectively. The
impact on our basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was a
decrease of $0.01 and the impact on our loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was
an increase of $0.02. The expense recorded represented compensation expense related to stock
options that were unvested at the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The method used to
determine the fair value of those stock options and the related weighted-average assumptions are
disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. No new stock
options were granted during the six months ended June 30 2006, and we do not expect to grant any
stock options during the Chapter 11 Proceedings. The stock-based compensation expense recorded
during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are included in salaries, wages and fringe
benefits in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
19
ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
At June 30, 2006, unrecognized compensation expense associated with unvested stock options was
approximately $408,000 which, subject to any modifications that may occur in future periods, will
be recognized at $186,000, $197,000 and $25,000 during the six months ending December 31, 2006 and
the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This amount of unrecognized
compensation cost, the period of amortization and other parameters could be impacted by the plan of
reorganization.
If we had applied the fair-value-based method prescribed by SFAS No. 123 prior to January 1, 2006,

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, options to acquire approximately 5,000 shares
of our common stock were forfeited and no stock options were granted, expired or exercised. During
the six months ended June 30, 2005, we granted incentive stock options to acquire approximately
210,000 shares of our common stock. The weighted average-grant date fair value of those options
was $3.07 per share. The fair values of the options granted during the six months ended June 30,
2005 were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions: dividend yield 0%, expected volatility 74%, risk-free interest
rate 4.2%, expected holding period 7.85 years. No options were exercised during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2005. The total fair value of options that vested during the three
months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $58,000 and $219,000, respectively. The total
fair value of options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was
approximately $443,000 and $612,000, respectively. Information regarding stock options as of June

Revenues are attributed to the respective countries based on the terminal that provides the service
and long-lived assets consist of property and equipment.
Our Automotive Groups three largest customers are General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, these customers accounted for 35%, 23% and 15%,
respectively, of our Automotive Groups revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, these
customers accounted for 36%, 23% and 15%, respectively, of our Automotive Groups revenues. A
significant reduction in production, changes in product mix, plant closings, changes in production
schedules, changes in our Automotive Groups customers distribution strategies or the imposition
of vendor price reductions by these manufacturers, the loss of General Motors, Ford,
DaimlerChrysler, Toyota or Honda as a customer, or a significant reduction in the services provided
to any of these customers by the Automotive Group would have a material adverse effect on our
operations. General Motors, DaimlerChrysler and Ford, in particular, have publicly announced plans
to significantly reduce vendor costs including those associated with transportation services. In
addition, our two largest customers have recently announced plans regarding their intent to close
certain production facilities, some of which we serve. A loss of volume would negatively impact
our financial results.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the discussion and analysis in this section in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes included in Item 1. Financial Statements of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements, related notes and other
financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2005. In addition, we use forward-looking statements in the discussion that follows.
Forward-looking statements by nature involve risks and uncertainties and hence our actual results
could differ materially from our expectations as a result of various factors, some of which we
discuss below in Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and under Item 1A Risk
Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Executive Overview
Since July 31, 2005, Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its subsidiaries have been
operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and continuation of our company as a going
concern is predicated upon, among other things: (i) our ability to obtain confirmation of a plan
of reorganization; (ii) compliance with the provisions of the DIP Facility; (iii) our ability to
reach an agreement with the IBT on a new collective bargaining agreement; (iv) our ability to
generate cash flows from operations; (v) our ability to obtain financing sufficient to satisfy our
future obligations; and (vi) our ability to comply with the terms of the ultimate plan of
reorganization. These matters create uncertainty concerning our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Under Chapter 11, we continue to operate our business without significant interruption during the
restructuring process as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and
in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of
Bankruptcy Procedure, applicable court orders, as well as other applicable laws and rules. However,
we can provide no assurance that we can continue to operate our business without significant
interruption. In general, a debtor-in-possession is authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to
operate as an ongoing business, but may not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of
business without the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court. We currently have the exclusive right
to file a plan of reorganization until November 1, 2006 and to solicit acceptance of the plan
through January 2, 2007. The exclusivity period can be extended at our request, if approved by
the Bankruptcy Court. However, we can provide no assurance as to whether any request to extend the
exclusivity period will be approved.
During the Chapter 11 Proceedings we have renewed contracts and obtained rate increases with
certain of our major customers and have presented a proposal to the IBT for a new collective
bargaining agreement. We believe that the proposed new collective bargaining agreement would
reduce our labor costs over the remaining term of the current collective bargaining agreement by
approximately $65 million per year. Negotiations with the IBT regarding these changes are in
process. We have not yet begun negotiations with the Teamsters Union in Canada regarding our
collective bargaining agreement that covers those drivers, mechanics and yard personnel that are
represented by the Teamsters Union in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, which represent
approximately 70% of our Canadian bargaining employees. This agreement expires on October 31,
2006.
During 2006, we have continued to be impacted by liquidity constraints and previously violated
various covenants included in the DIP Facility, which covenant violations have been subsequently
waived pursuant to the Fifth Amendment. As previously disclosed, those violations required us to
enter into certain amendments to the DIP Facility and forbearance agreements. To create additional
liquidity we requested and received from the Bankruptcy Court interim relief to temporarily reduce
wages earned by our collective bargaining employees under the Master Agreement by 10% in May and
June of 2006, and undertook a number of internal cost-saving initiatives. In addition, on June 30,
2006 we entered into the Fifth Amendment to the DIP Facility which provides us with an additional
$30 million of liquidity through a new term loan, reduces the interest rate on certain other
portions of the DIP Facility, waives all the defaults previously disclosed, permits a portion of
the interest due under the DIP Facility to be paid in kind by addition to principal on a monthly
basis and extends the maturity date on the term loans to June 30, 2007. The Fifth Amendment was
approved by the Bankruptcy Court on July 12, 2006. We believe that the additional availability
obtained by the Fifth Amendment should provide us with the cash required to prevent the previously
projected liquidity shortfalls and enable us to meet our working capital needs during the expected
term of the Chapter 11 Proceedings. As of August 26, 2006, we had borrowed $10 million from the
available $30 million
29
term loan. The Fifth Amendment is more fully discussed in Note 11 to the
unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements and in our
discussion of liquidity below.
We are working towards emerging from the Chapter 11 Proceedings with a redesigned capital structure
in order to lower debt through improved customer contracts and improved contract terms with the IBT
regarding our employees in the U.S. represented by the Teamsters. We can provide no assurance that
these actions will succeed, nor that the Creditors Committee or other interested parties will
support our proposed plan of reorganization. Actions by the Committee or other interested parties
could delay the approval of our plan of reorganization and our subsequent emergence from Chapter
11. If the Chapter 11 Proceedings are delayed, we may incur increased legal and professional fees,
which could adversely affect our operations. Due to these uncertainties, an investment in our
common stock or debt securities is highly speculative and accordingly, we urge investors to
exercise caution with respect to existing and future investments in our common stock or debt
securities.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2005
For the second quarter of 2006, our revenues increased 5.5% over the second quarter of 2005. Our
operating income for the second quarter of 2006 reflected an improvement of $89.7 million over the
second quarter of 2005 and our net income improved $81.3 million over the second quarter of 2005.
The improvement in our operating income and our net income were primarily a result of the $79.2
million impairment of goodwill recorded in the second quarter of 2005. Also positively impacting
our operating performance and net income were customer rate increases partially offset by the
effect of the lower volume of vehicles delivered and certain categories of higher expenses
including insurance. Our net income also benefited from a reduction in interest expense in the
second quarter of 2006 over the second quarter of 2005 but was negatively impacted by
reorganization items in the second quarter of 2006 as well as an $11.6 million income tax benefit
recorded during the second quarter of 2005 related to the impairment of goodwill. The following
table sets forth the percentage relationship of expense items to revenues:

Revenues
Revenues were $245.4 million in the second quarter of 2006 versus revenues of $232.6 million in the
second quarter of 2005, an increase of 5.5% or $12.8 million. The increase in revenues was due
primarily to an increase in revenue per vehicle delivered by our Automotive Group, which was
partially offset by a decrease in the number of vehicles that we delivered. During the second
quarter of 2006, revenue per vehicle delivered increased by $12.81 or 12.6% over the second quarter
of 2005. The increase in revenue per unit is due primarily to certain customer rate increases, an
increase in fuel surcharges received from customers, the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and
an increase in the average length of haul.
During the Chapter 11 Proceedings we have renewed contracts with rate increases with certain of our
major customers. We estimate that our revenues increased by approximately $9.1 million or $4.40
per unit in the second quarter of 2006 versus the second quarter of 2005 as a result of changes in
customer pricing.
Revenues from our fuel surcharge programs represent billings to our customers related to the
increase in the price of fuel. The fuel surcharge programs mitigate, in part, the rising cost of
fuel by allowing us to pass on at least a portion of the increase to those customers who
participate in the programs. In the second quarter of 2006, revenues from fuel surcharges
represented 7.4% of the Automotive Groups revenues, whereas, in the second quarter of 2005,
revenues earned from the fuel surcharge programs represented only 4.5% of our Automotive Groups
revenues, an increase of approximately $7.5 million or $3.90 per vehicle delivered. The increase
in fuel surcharge revenues is due primarily to the increase in the average price of fuel, which was
approximately 26% higher in the second quarter of 2006 than the second quarter of 2005 for our U.S.
operations. Customer fuel surcharges reset at varying intervals, which do not exceed one quarter,
based on fuel prices in the applicable preceding time period. This results in a lag between the
time period when fuel prices change and the time period when the fuel surcharge is adjusted.
The Canadian dollar strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar in the second quarter of 2006 compared
to the second quarter of 2005. Since we earn a portion of our revenues from our Canadian
subsidiary, our revenues are positively impacted when the Canadian dollar strengthens against its
U.S. counterpart. During the second quarter of 2006, the
31
Canadian dollar averaged the equivalent
of U.S. $0.8907 versus U.S. $0.8042 during the second quarter of 2005, which resulted in an
estimated increase in revenues of $5.5 million. This amount contributed $2.67 of the overall increase of $12.81 per unit. The effect on operating income
of this increase in revenues is partially offset by a corresponding increase in expenses for our
Canadian subsidiary related to the currency fluctuation.
Our revenue per vehicle delivered also increased by approximately $0.73 per vehicle in the second
quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005 due to an increase in the average distance
driven to deliver a vehicle which we refer to as the average length of haul. A portion of our
revenues is based on the number of miles driven to deliver a vehicle, therefore, an increase in the
average length of haul increases our revenue and revenue per unit. The average length of haul may
fluctuate based on changes in the distribution patterns of our customers and how the vehicle
deliveries are dispatched from our terminal locations.
The number of vehicles that we delivered declined by approximately 6.2%, to 2,076,000 units, in the
second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. This reduction was due to a decline
in vehicle production by our three largest customers, the discontinuation of unprofitable business
for one of our major customers at one of our terminal locations, the closure of certain
unprofitable terminal locations in the latter part of 2005 and fewer vehicles hauled for Toyota
because of their decision to minimize their reliance on any one carhaul company.
Our revenues are variable and can be impacted by changes in OEM production levels, especially
sudden unexpected or unanticipated changes in production schedules, changes in distribution
patterns, product type, product mix, product design or the weight or configuration of vehicles
transported by our Automotive Group. As an example, our revenue will be adversely affected by
recent decisions announced by General Motors and Ford to close certain manufacturing plants in the
future and the recent decision by Ford to reduce production in the fourth quarter of 2006 at
several of its manufacturing plants.
In addition, our revenues are seasonal, with the second and fourth quarters generally experiencing
higher revenues than the first and third quarters as a result of the higher volume of vehicles
shipped. The volume of vehicles shipped is generally higher during the second quarter as North
American light vehicle production has historically been at its highest level during this quarter
due to higher consumer sales of automobiles, light trucks and SUVs in the spring and early summer.
The introduction of new models in the fall of each year combined with the manufacturers motivation
to ship vehicles before calendar year-end, increase shipments to dealers through the fourth
quarter. During the first and third quarters, vehicle shipments typically decline due to lower
production volume during those periods. The third quarter volume does benefit from the
introduction of new models, but the net volume for the quarter is typically lower than the second
and fourth quarters due to the scheduled OEM plant shutdowns, which generally occur early in the
third quarter. The first quarter volume is negatively impacted by the holiday shutdown in December
of each year and the relatively low inventory of vehicles to ship as a result of maximizing
shipments at the end of the year. As a result of these and other factors, our operating results
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
Salaries, wages, and fringe benefits
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits decreased from 50.8% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005
to 46.8% of revenues in the second quarter of 2006. The decrease in salaries as a percentage of
revenues was due primarily to the increases in revenues related to the fuel surcharge programs and
customer rate increases, which do not cause salary expense to vary, as well as a decrease in
expense for our nonbargaining employees. Driver pay is based primarily on the number of miles
driven to deliver vehicles and is affected by changes in revenue related to changes in volume, but
is not affected by fluctuations in customer rates or fluctuations in fuel surcharge revenues.
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits related to our nonbargaining employees, who are not directly
involved in the generation of revenues, decreased by approximately $1.6 million, which was due
primarily to a reduction in head count and the effect of unpaid furloughs that took effect in May
and June 2006. As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2005, those employees with annual salaries of less than $80,000 were required to
accept a five-day unpaid furlough in the month of June 2006 and those with annual salaries of
$80,000 or more were required to accept ten days of unpaid furlough by June 2006. The unpaid
furloughs of our salaried nonbargaining employees reduced our nonbargaining labor costs by
approximately $200,000 in May 2006 and $800,000 in June 2006.
32
Our labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements related to the delivery of vehicles
decreased $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005
primarily as a result of the lower number of vehicles delivered during the second quarter of 2006
compared to the second quarter of 2005. However, the labor cost per vehicle delivered for these
employees increased by approximately 1.4%. The effect of the lower number of vehicles delivered is
estimated to be approximately $6.0 million, partially offset by the increase in the cost per
vehicle delivered estimated to be approximately $1.2 million. The increase in cost per vehicle
delivered is attributable to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar, the agreed-upon rate
increases related to our employees covered by the Master Agreement with the Teamsters and an
increase in the average length of haul. We estimate that the strengthening of the Canadian dollar
resulted in an increase in labor costs of approximately $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2006
compared to the second quarter of 2005. As part of our contract with the Teamsters, an increase in
benefits went into effect on August 1, 2005 and a 2% wage increase went into effect on June 1,
2005. The average length of haul for vehicles delivered by these employees was approximately 2%
higher in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. These increases were
partially offset by the 10% reduction in wages earned by these employees in May and June of 2006.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the
10% wage reduction for these employees was effected after obtaining the Bankruptcy Courts
approval.
Workers compensation expense, which is a component of salaries, wages and fringe benefit expense
increased by approximately $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2006 as compared to the second
quarter of 2005. The increase was due primarily to a change in our insurance programs. In 2006, a
fully insured program with no deductible covers the majority of our risk for workers compensation
claims. As a result, our premium expense has increased.
Operating supplies and expenses
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 19.0% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 to
20.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 2006. The increase was due primarily to an increase in
fuel expense, which increased from 7.7% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 to 9.3% of
revenues in the second quarter of 2006. The average price of fuel was approximately 26% higher in
the second quarter of 2006 than the second quarter of 2005 for our U.S. operations. We estimate
that the increase in the price of fuel resulted in additional fuel expense of approximately $6.0
million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005. However, due to the
fuel surcharge agreements we have in place with substantially all of our customers, any unfavorable
impact on our operating income due to an increase in fuel prices was mitigated quarter over quarter
as the corresponding effect of fuel surcharges, net of broker participation, was approximately $7.4
million. The difference between the increase in fuel expense resulting from higher fuel prices and
the amount of fuel surcharges received during the quarter is due to the timing difference described
above in the revenue discussion.
Repairs and maintenance increased from 4.5% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 to 4.6% of
revenues in the second quarter of 2006. The actual expense increased $1.0 million due primarily to
an increase in the frequency and nature of vehicle repairs as a result of the increasing age of our
fleet. Due to the significance of their nature, some of these repairs required outside vendor
assistance while others were repaired at our maintenance shops. In addition, because liquidity
constraints have limited the amount of capital we have been able to invest in our fleet, we expect
repairs and maintenance expenses in future quarters of 2006 to be higher than the comparable
quarters in 2005.
Purchased transportation
Purchased transportation expense primarily represents the cost to our Automotive Group of utilizing
Teamster represented owner-operators of Rigs who receive a percentage of the revenue they generate
from transporting vehicles on our behalf as well as certain fringe benefit payments. Fuel
surcharge revenue and customer rate increases derived from deliveries by owner-operators is
reimbursed to the owner-operator and recorded in purchased transportation. Therefore, while
purchased transportation as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly from 13.5% of revenues in
the second quarter of 2005 to 13.3% of revenues in the second quarter of 2006, our purchased
transportation expense increased by $1.3 million, or 4.1%, quarter over quarter. Purchased
transportation, as a percentage of revenues, may fluctuate based on changes in the distribution
patterns of our customers and how the vehicle deliveries are dispatched from our terminal
locations.
33
Insurance and claims
As a percentage of revenues, insurance and claims expense was flat quarter over quarter. The
actual expense increased $0.5 million due primarily to a change in coverage to reduce the amount of
risk that we retain. Such coverage requires a higher premium expense.
Operating taxes and licenses
Operating taxes and licenses decreased from 3.3% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 to 3.0%
of revenues for the second quarter of 2006. This category of expense represents taxes on fuel
purchased for our Rigs, which may vary based on fuel consumption as well as license renewal fees,
which are primarily fixed. Since the increase in our revenues was due primarily to an increase in
fuel surcharge revenues and customer rate increases, operating taxes and licenses as a percentage
of revenues decreased quarter over quarter.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses decreased from 1.9% of revenues in the second quarter of 2005 to 0.8% of
revenues in the second quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of a decrease in the use of external
professionals for services unrelated to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. In addition, other operating
expenses in the second quarter of 2005 were higher due to the incurrence of professional fees
relating to our review of various strategic alternatives related to our operating performance and
highly leveraged financial position and to prepare for a potential Chapter 11 filing.
Impairment of goodwill
The impairment of goodwill of $79.2 million was recorded at our Automotive Group in the second
quarter of 2005 and represented the entire carrying amount of goodwill for this reporting unit,
since the estimated fair value of the reporting units goodwill was determined to be zero. During
2005, the fair value of goodwill at our Automotive Group was affected by a decrease in projected
sales volume for this reporting unit that was impacted by a decline in actual and projected OEM
production levels, particularly at our two largest customers, as well as managements analysis of
other cash flow factors and trends, including capital expenditure requirements in excess of
previous estimates.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased from $14.7 million in the second quarter of 2005 to $9.5 million in the
second quarter of 2006. This reduction was primarily a result of lower charges related to
deferring financing costs as well as the discontinuation of interest accrued on our Senior Notes
subsequent to the Petition Date.
Charges related to deferred financing costs were $3.7 million lower in the second quarter of 2006
than the second quarter of 2005. This was due primarily to the write-off of $4.9 million in
deferred financing costs during the second quarter of 2005 as a result of the violation of one of
the financial covenants in our Pre-petition Facility as of June 30, 2005. The effect of this
write-off on the quarter over quarter comparisons was partially offset by higher amortization of
deferred financing costs related to the DIP Facility in the second quarter of 2006. In March 2006,
we revised the end of the amortization period of the deferred financing costs related to the DIP
Facility from February 2, 2007, the original maturity date of the DIP Facility, to May 18, 2006,
the end of the forbearance period under the DIP Facility for certain financial covenant violations.
Effective August 1, 2005 and in accordance with SOP 90-7, we ceased accruing interest on our Senior
Notes since the repayment of this debt and related interest are stayed by the Bankruptcy Court as a
result of the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Contractual interest not accrued or paid on the Senior Notes
was $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our average outstanding debt quarter over
quarter and an increase in lender fees related to the forbearance agreements negotiated during the
second quarter of 2006. Our average outstanding debt during the second quarter of 2006 increased
by approximately $23.1 million over the second quarter of 2005, resulting in additional interest
expense of approximately $0.9 million, excluding the impact of not accruing interest on our Senior
Notes.
34
Investment income
Investment income increased from $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2005 to $1.2 million in the
second quarter of 2006, which was due primarily to an increase of $5.6 million in the average
amount of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits held by our captive insurance
subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, as well as an increase in interest rates on time deposits. The
average amount of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits increased during 2005,
subsequent to the second quarter of 2005, as a result of additional amounts required to
collateralize letters of credit issued to secure the payment of insurance claims.
Foreign exchange gains (losses)
Foreign exchange gains were $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2006 compared to foreign exchange
losses of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2005. This fluctuation was due primarily to the
effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the intercompany payable balance denominated in U.S
dollars recorded on one of our Canadian subsidiarys balance sheet. The Canadian dollar was
stronger relative to the U.S. dollar at the end of the second quarter of 2006 than at the beginning
of that quarter but was weaker at the end of the second quarter of 2005 than at the beginning of
that quarter thereby causing a gain on the intercompany payable in the second quarter of 2006
versus a loss in the second quarter of 2005. In addition, the average outstanding intercompany
amount payable by this subsidiary increased from $45.0 million during the second quarter of 2005 to
$50.7 million during the second quarter of 2006 and the exchange rate increase during the second
quarter of 2006, 4.2%, was more than the rate of decrease in the second quarter of 2005, 1.0%,
thereby causing a differential between the magnitude of the exchange gain recorded in the second
quarter of 2006 and the magnitude of the exchange loss recorded in the second quarter of 2005.
Reorganization items
During the second quarter of 2006 we incurred approximately $4.7 million in costs related to the
Chapter 11 Proceedings. These costs were primarily for legal and professional services rendered
and are summarized in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item
1. Financial Statements.
Income taxes
In the second quarter of 2006, a tax expense of $63,000 was recognized. In the second quarter of
2005, a tax benefit of $11.6 million was recognized. In 2006, the income tax expense was less than
the amount computed by applying statutory rates to the reported income before income taxes since we
reported a year-to-date loss before income taxes and no benefit was recorded in the first quarter.
The loss before income taxes generated deferred tax assets for which we increased the valuation
allowance. During the second quarter of 2005, we did recognize a tax benefit related to the
impairment of goodwill to the extent that related deferred tax liabilities existed.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our revenues increased 7.2% over the six months ended June
30, 2005. Our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflected an improvement of
$95.7 million over the six months ended June 30, 2005 and our net loss improved $83.1 million over
the six months ended June 30, 2005. The improvement in our operating income and our net loss were
primarily a result of the $79.2 million impairment of goodwill recorded during the six months ended
June 30, 2005. Also positively impacting our operating performance and net income were customer
rate increases partially offset by the effect of the lower volume of vehicles delivered and certain
categories of higher expenses including insurance. Our net loss also benefited from a reduction in
interest expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the six months ended June 30, 2005 but
was negatively impacted by reorganization items in the six months ended June 30, 2006 as well as an
$11.4 million income tax benefit recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2005 related to the
impairment of goodwill. The following table sets forth the percentage relationship of expense items
to revenues:

Revenues
Revenues were $486.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus revenues of $453.5
million in the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase of 7.2% or $32.7 million. The increase
in revenues was due primarily to an increase in revenue per vehicle delivered by our Automotive
Group. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, revenue per vehicle delivered increased by
$11.92 or 11.7% over the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase in revenue per unit is due
primarily to certain customer rate increases, an increase in fuel surcharges received from
customers, the strengthening of the Canadian dollar and an increase in the average length of haul.
As previously discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison, during the Chapter 11 Proceedings
we renewed contracts with rate increases with certain of our major customers. As a result of these
rate increases, we estimate that our revenues increased by approximately $18.8 million or $4.54 per
unit in the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus the six months ended June 30, 2005.
In the six months ended June 30, 2006, revenues from fuel surcharges represented 6.9% of the
Automotive Groups revenues, whereas, in the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues earned from
the fuel surcharge programs represented only 4.0% of our Automotive Groups revenues, an increase
of approximately $14.8 million or $3.75 per vehicle delivered. The increase in fuel surcharge
revenues is due primarily to the increase in the average price of fuel, which was approximately 24%
higher in the six months ended June 30, 2006 than the six months ended June 30, 2005 for our U.S.
operations.
The Canadian dollar strengthened relative to the U.S. dollar in the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the
Canadian dollar averaged the equivalent of U.S. $0.8786 versus U.S. $0.8103 during the six months
ended June 30, 2005, which resulted in an estimated increase in revenues of $8.2 million. This amount contributed $1.97 of the overall increase of $11.92 per unit. However, as noted above, the effect on operating
36
income of this increase in revenues is partially offset by a corresponding increase in expenses for
our Canadian subsidiary related to the currency fluctuation.
Our revenue per vehicle delivered increased by approximately $0.90 per vehicle in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005 due to an increase in the
average length of haul.
The number of vehicles that we delivered declined by approximately 4.1%, to 4,152,000 units, in the
six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. This reduction was
due to a decline in vehicle production by two of our largest customers, the discontinuation of
unprofitable business for one of our major customers at one of our terminal locations, the closure
of certain unprofitable terminal locations in the latter part of 2005 and fewer vehicles hauled for
Toyota because of their decision to minimize their reliance on any one carhaul company.
In addition, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, $1.4 million of the higher reported revenue
compared to the same period in 2005 is attributable to our Axis Group. Increases in business
volumes, and therefore revenues, were reported by the Axis Groups vehicle inspection service and
vehicle transportation management divisions. Also, a Mexican subsidiary of the Axis Group had a
significant improvement in revenue through the start up of a large operation at Fords Hermosillo
production facility.
Salaries, wages, and fringe benefits
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits decreased from 52.8% of revenues in the six months ended June
30, 2005 to 49.5% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in salaries as a
percentage of revenues was due primarily to the increases in revenues related to the fuel surcharge
programs and customer rate increases, which do not cause salary expense to vary, as well as a
decrease in expense for our nonbargaining employees. As discussed above in the quarter over
quarter comparison, driver pay is based primarily on the number of miles driven to deliver vehicles
and is affected by changes in revenue related to changes in volume, but is not affected by
fluctuations in customer rates or fluctuations in fuel surcharge revenues. Salaries, wages and
fringe benefits related to our nonbargaining employees, who are not directly involved in the
generation of revenues, decreased by approximately $2.3 million, which was due primarily to a
reduction in head count and the effect of the unpaid furloughs which are more fully discussed in
the quarter over quarter comparison above.
Our labor costs for employees covered by bargaining agreements related to the delivery of vehicles
decreased $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June
30, 2005 primarily as a result of the lower number of vehicles delivered during the six months
ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. However, the labor cost per
vehicle delivered for these employees increased by approximately 3.7%. The effect of the lower
number of vehicles delivered is estimated to be approximately $8.0 million, partially offset by the
increase in the cost per vehicle delivered estimated to be approximately $6.8 million. The
increase in cost per vehicle delivered is attributable to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar,
the agreed-upon rate increases related to our employees covered by the Master Agreement with the
Teamsters and an increase in the average length of haul. We estimate that the strengthening of the
Canadian dollar resulted in an increase in labor costs of approximately $3.0 million in the six
months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005. As part of our contract
with the Teamsters, an increase in benefits went into effect on August 1, 2005 and a 2% wage
increase went into effect on June 1, 2005. The average length of haul for vehicles delivered by
these employees was approximately 2% higher in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2005. These increases were partially offset by the 10% reduction in
wages earned by these employees in May and June 2006.
Workers compensation expense, which is a component of salaries, wages and fringe benefit expense,
increased by approximately $4.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to
the six months ended June 30, 2005 due primarily to the change in our insurance programs. As
previously discussed, in 2006, a fully insured program with no deductible covers the majority of
our risk for workers compensation claims resulting in an increase in our premium expense.
Operating supplies and expenses
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 18.9% of revenues in the six months ended June 30,
2005 to 20.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was due primarily to
an increase in fuel expense,
37
which increased from 7.6% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to 9.0% of revenues in
the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average price of fuel was approximately 24% higher in the
six months ended June 30, 2006 than the six months ended June 30, 2005 for our U.S. operations. We
estimate that the increase in the price of fuel resulted in additional fuel expense of
approximately $10.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 2005. However, due to the fuel surcharge agreements we have in place with substantially
all of our customers, any unfavorable impact on our operating income due to an increase in fuel
prices was mitigated as the corresponding effect of fuel surcharges, net of broker participation,
was approximately $14.3 million. The difference between the increase in fuel expense resulting
from higher fuel prices and the amount of fuel surcharges received from customers during the
quarter is due to the timing difference described above in the quarter over quarter revenue
discussion.
Repairs and maintenance increased from 4.3% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to
4.8% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The actual expense increased $3.6 million
due primarily to an increase in the frequency and nature of vehicle repairs as a result of the
increasing age of our fleet. Due to the significance of their nature, more of these repairs
required outside vendor assistance.
Purchased transportation
Purchased transportation as a percentage of revenues decreased slightly from 13.3% of revenues in
the six months ended June 30, 2005 to 13.1% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Purchased transportation expense increased by $3.3 million, or 5.5%. The nature of this expense
and the reasons for its fluctuation is discussed above in the quarter over quarter comparison.
Insurance and claims
Insurance and claims expense increased from 4.1% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005
to 4.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This was primarily due to a change in
coverage to reduce the amount of risk that we retain. Such coverage requires a higher premium
expense.
Operating taxes and licenses
Operating taxes and licenses decreased from 3.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005
to 3.1% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The nature of these expenses and the
reasons for their fluctuation as a percentage of revenues are discussed in the quarter over quarter
comparison above.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased from 3.4% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005
to 3.0% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to the increase in revenues
related to the fuel surcharge programs and customer rate increases, which do not have corresponding
increases in depreciation and amortization expense. To a lesser extent, this reduced percentage
was due to a decrease in the depreciable asset base that has been reduced due to certain aged
equipment reaching its depreciable limit and a decline in capital expenditures over more than the
past five years.
Other operating expenses
Other operating expenses decreased from 1.6% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to
0.8% of revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2006 primarily as a result of a decrease in the
use of external professionals for services unrelated to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. In addition,
other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2005 were higher due to the incurrence of
professional fees relating to our review of various strategic alternatives related to our operating
performance and highly leveraged financial position and to prepare for a potential Chapter 11
filing.
Impairment of goodwill
The circumstances giving rise to the impairment of goodwill of $79.2 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2005 are discussed above in the quarter over quarter comparison.
38
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased from $23.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $19.1
million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This reduction was primarily the result of the
discontinuation of interest accrued on our Senior Notes subsequent to the Petition Date and to a
lesser extent to lower charges related to deferred financing costs.
As more fully discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison above, effective August 1, 2005 we
ceased accruing interest on our Senior Notes. Contractual interest not accrued or paid on the
Senior Notes was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Charges related to deferred financing costs were $0.9 million lower in the six months ended June
30, 2006 than the six months ended June 30, 2005. This was due primarily to the write-off of $4.9
million in deferred financing costs during the six months ended June 30, 2005 as a result of the
violation of one of the financial covenants in our Pre-petition Facility as of June 30, 2005, the
effect of which was partially offset by higher amortization of deferred financing costs related to
the DIP Facility in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The reasons for the higher amortization in
the six months ended June 30, 2006 are discussed in the quarter over quarter comparison.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in our average outstanding debt and an
increase in lender fees related to the forbearance agreements negotiated during the second quarter
of 2006. Primarily due to increased borrowings under the Revolver included in the DIP Facility
compared to borrowings under the revolver portion of our Pre-petition Facility, our average
outstanding debt during the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by approximately $32.0 million
over the six months ended June 30, 2005, resulting in additional interest expense of approximately
$2.3 million, excluding the impact of not accruing interest on our Senior Notes.
Investment income
Investment income increased from $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $2.2 million
in the six months ended June 30, 2006, which was due primarily to an increase of $10.9 million in
the average amount of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits held by our captive
insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, as well as an increase in interest rates on time
deposits. The average amount of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits
increased during 2005, subsequent to June 30, 2005, as a result of additional amounts required to
collateralize letters of credit issued to secure the payment of insurance claims.
Foreign exchange gains (losses)
Foreign exchange gains were $1.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to foreign
exchange losses of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. This fluctuation is due
primarily to the effect of changes in currency exchange rates on the intercompany payable balance
denominated in U.S dollars recorded on one of our Canadian subsidiarys balance sheet. The Canadian
dollar was stronger relative to the U.S. dollar at the end of June 2006 than at the end of December
2005 but was weaker at the end of June 2005 than at the end of December 2004 thereby causing a gain
on the intercompany payable in the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus a loss in the six months
ended June 30, 2005. In addition, the average outstanding intercompany amount payable by this
subsidiary increased from $42.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 to $49.9 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the exchange rate increase during the six months
ended June 30, 2006, 4.1%, was more than the rate of decrease in the six months ended June 30,
2005, 1.9%, thereby causing a differential between the magnitude of the exchange gain recorded in
the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the magnitude of the exchange loss recorded in the six
months ended June 30, 2005.
Reorganization items
During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we incurred approximately $8.3 million in costs related
to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. These costs were primarily for legal and professional services
rendered. See Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1.
Financial Statements for a summary of these reorganization items.
Income taxes
39
In the six months ended June 30, 2006, a tax expense of $190,000 was recognized. In the six months
ended June 30, 2005, a tax benefit of $11.4 million was recognized. In 2006, the income tax
expense differed from the amount computed by applying statutory rates to the reported loss before
income taxes since we did not meet the more likely than not criteria to recognize the tax benefits
of losses in most of our jurisdictions. The loss before income taxes generated deferred tax assets
for which we increased the valuation allowance. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we did
recognize a tax benefit related to the impairment of goodwill to the extent that related deferred
tax liabilities existed.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and borrowings under our DIP
Facility. We use our cash primarily for the purchase, remanufacture and maintenance of our Rigs and
terminal facilities, the payment of operating expenses, the servicing of our debt, and the funding
of other capital expenditures. We also use our cash to pay legal and professional fees and other
costs related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. We use restricted cash, cash equivalents and other
time deposits to collateralize letters of credit required by third-party insurance companies for
the settlement of insurance claims. These collateral assets are not available for general use in
operations, but are restricted for payment of insurance claims.
The DIP Facility entered into in connection with the Chapter 11 filings provides us with financing
during the Chapter 11 Proceedings. Funds under the DIP Facility allow us to operate in the normal
course of business and are available to help satisfy our working capital obligations during the
Chapter 11 Proceedings, including payment under normal terms for goods and services provided after
the Petition Date, payment of wages and benefits to active employees and retirees and other items
approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The DIP Facility is more fully discussed in Note 11 to the
unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements.
During 2006, we have continued to be impacted by liquidity constraints and have been taking various
steps to preserve our liquidity, which include:
|
|
|
Rescheduling and deferring capital expenditures; |
|
|
|
|
Obtaining the Bankruptcy Courts approval to reduce wages paid to our collective
bargaining employees covered under the Master Agreement with the IBT by 10% for the months
of May and June 2006; |
|
|
|
|
Obtaining the Bankruptcy Courts approval to delay wage and cost of living increases to
our collective bargaining employees that were previously scheduled to go into effect on
June 1, 2006; |
|
|
|
|
Implementing unpaid furloughs for certain nonbargaining employees for certain periods in
May and June 2006; |
|
|
|
|
Filing a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to terminate certain nonbargaining retiree
benefits, which motion is still pending approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and |
|
|
|
|
Implementing other internal cost-saving initiatives. |
The reduction of wages paid to our collective bargaining employees covered by the Master Agreement
with the IBT decreased our labor costs by approximately $2 million per month in May and June 2006.
The wage and cost of living increases scheduled to go into effect on June 1, 2006 for those
employees were delayed until July 1, 2006 resulting in cost savings of approximately $325,000 in
June 2006. The unpaid furloughs required of our salaried nonbargaining employees reduced our
nonbargaining labor costs by approximately $200,000 in May and $800,000 in June 2006.
On June 30, 2006 we entered into the Fifth Amendment to the DIP Facility which provides us with an
additional $30 million of liquidity through a new term loan, reduces the interest rate on certain
other portions of the DIP Facility, provides for the payment of interest in kind by addition to
principal on a monthly basis for certain of the term loans, waives all the covenant violations
previously disclosed and extends the maturity date on the term loans to June 30, 2007. The Fifth
Amendment was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on July 12, 2006. We believe that the additional
availability obtained by the Fifth Amendment should provide us with the cash required to prevent
the previously projected liquidity shortfalls and enable us to meet our working capital needs
during the expected term of the Chapter 11 Proceedings. As of August 26, 2006, we had borrowed $10
million from the available $30 million term loan. The Fifth Amendment is more fully discussed in
Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial
Statements.

Operating Activities
We use the indirect method to prepare our statement of cash flows. Accordingly, we compute net
cash provided by operating activities by adjusting net loss for all items included in the net loss
that do not currently affect operating cash receipts and payments. Cash provided by operating
activities was $38.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to cash used in
operating activities of $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase in cash
from operating activities was principally due to the increase in cash collections from our
customers of approximately $37.7 million primarily as a result of the increase in revenues. This
was augmented by higher interest received on restricted deposits as well as lower payments relating
to interest and insurance. Although premiums for insurance coverage for 2006 were higher than in 2005, the premiums for 2006 were paid in December 2005, whereas the premiums for 2005 were paid in January 2005. Insurance payments were less as a result of 2006 insurance premiums
being primarily paid in 2005. The positive impact of these items on operating activities were
partially offset by cash payments related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings and increased costs related
to fuel, salaries, wages and fringe benefits.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we used $9.8 million in investing activities compared to
$27.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. During the six months ended June 30, 2005,
restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits required to collateralize our
self-insurance reserves at our captive insurance company increased $16.4 million. The increase
during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was only $0.3 million. In addition, the net amount
deposited with insurance carriers was $7.4 million lower during the six months ended June 30, 2006
compared to the six months ended June 30, 2005.
The lower cash required for investing in the activities above were partially offset by higher
capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus the six months ended June 30,
2005. We invested approximately $12.1 million in our fleet of Rigs during the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and approximately $8.7 million on capital expenditures during the six months ended
June 30, 2005, most of which was spent on our fleet of Rigs. During the six months ended June 30,
2006, we remanufactured 102 tractors, 145 trailers and replaced (overhauled) approximately 238
engines. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we remanufactured 70 tractors, 69 trailers and
replaced (overhauled) approximately 189 engines.
An estimate of our planned capital expenditure for 2006 is included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. However, in order to service our existing business, we
have found it necessary to increase the planned capital expenditure for 2006 that was disclosed in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K, by approximately $3.5 million for the remanufacture of an
additional 50 Rigs.
Investing activities were also negatively impacted by lower proceeds from the sale of property and
equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2006 which were $2.0 million lower than proceeds
received during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Financing Activities
We used $28.3 million in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2006 while
financing activities provided net cash of $30.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
As a result of the increase in cash provided from operations during the six months ended June 30,
2006, there was no need for us to borrow additional amounts under the Revolver during the period.
Instead, we paid down $9.6 million of the Revolver. In contrast, during the six months ended June
30, 2005, net borrowings increased by $28.3 million. In addition, we did not borrow under
insurance financing arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2006 since we were able to
obtain funding for substantially all of our 2006 insurance programs in the fourth quarter of 2005.
This is in contrast to the six months ended June 30, 2005 when we borrowed under insurance
financing arrangements, since we did not finance our insurance premiums at the end of 2004.
Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2006, the repayments under insurance financing
arrangements were $13.3 million higher than the repayments during the six months ended June 30,
2005 since more premiums were financed for the 2006 coverage.
Debt and Letters of Credit
The amount available under the $130 million Revolver may be reduced based on the calculation of
eligible Revolver collateral. As of June 30, 2006, $105.8 million of eligible Revolver collateral
was available. As of June 30, 2006, approximately $38.5 million of the Revolver was committed
under letters of credit primarily related to the
41
settlement of insurance claims and $42.4 million in loans were outstanding under the Revolver. We
had approximately $18.6 million and $14.2 million available under the Revolver as of June 30, 2006
and August 26, 2006, respectively. Additionally, we had $30 million and $20 million available
under Term Loan C as of June 30, 2006 and August 26, 2006, respectively.
We renew our letters of credit annually. At June 30, 2006, we had agreements with third parties to
whom we had issued $141.4 million of letters of credit primarily relating to settlements of
insurance claims and reserves as well as support for a line of credit at one of our foreign
subsidiaries. Of the $141.4 million, $38.5 million of these letters of credit are secured by
availability under the Revolver and $102.9 million are issued by our wholly owned captive insurance
subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited and are collateralized by $102.9 million of restricted cash,
cash equivalents and other time deposits held by this subsidiary. The amount of letters of credit
that we may issue under the Revolver may not exceed $75 million and may be less than this amount
based on existing availability under the DIP Facility. We utilized $38.5 million of this
availability at June 30, 2006 and the remaining letter of credit availability under the DIP
Facility as of June 30, 2006 was $18.6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Between January 1, 2006 and August 26, 2006, we entered into no new significant off-balance sheet
arrangements. See our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our off-balance sheet
arrangements as of December 31, 2005.
Disclosures About Market Risks
We face several risks, some of which we discuss in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The primary market risks inherent in our market risk sensitive
instruments and positions are the potential loss arising from adverse changes in fuel prices,
interest rates, self-insured claims and foreign currency exchange rates.
Fuel Prices
Our Automotive Group is dependent on diesel fuel to operate its fleet of Rigs. Diesel fuel
prices are subject to fluctuations due to unpredictable factors such as the weather, government
policies, and changes in global demand and global production. To reduce the price risk caused by
market fluctuations, Allied Automotive Group periodically purchases fuel in advance of consumption.
A 10% increase in diesel fuel prices over the average price of fuel for the first six months of
2006 would increase costs by $10.7 million over the next twelve months assuming levels of fuel
consumption in the next twelve months are consistent with levels of fuel consumed in the first six
months of 2006. At least a portion of this increase in costs could be recovered by our fuel
surcharge arrangements with our customers. Currently, we have in place fuel surcharge agreements
with substantially all of our customers. In periods of rising fuel prices and declining vehicle
deliveries, we may not recover all of the fuel price increase through our fuel surcharge programs
since fuel surcharges reset at varying intervals, which do not exceed one quarter, based on fuel
prices in the applicable preceding time period.
Interest Rates
We enter into debt obligations to support general corporate purposes including capital expenditures
and working capital needs. Prior to the Chapter 11 filings, the Senior Notes bore interest at a
fixed rate. During the Chapter 11 Proceedings, the Senior Notes rank as an unsecured claim, and we
have ceased the accrual and payment of interest pending consummation of a plan of reorganization.
As of June 30, 2006, we had $142.4 million outstanding under the DIP Facility subject to variable
rates of interest. The interest rates on the Revolver in our DIP Facility may vary based on either
an annual index rate (based on the greater of the base rate on corporate loans as published from
time to time in The Wall Street Journal and the federal funds rate plus 0.50%) plus 2.00%, or LIBOR
plus 3.00%. The $20 million term loan bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 5.50%. The
$80 million term loan bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 8.50%. Based on the
outstanding balance of the DIP Facility as of June 30, 2006, the impact of a three-percentage point
increase in interest rates would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of
approximately $4.3 million.
Our subsidiary, Allied Systems (Canada) Company also has a $2.5 million revolving credit facility
with a bank in Canada (the Canadian Revolver) for use in our Canadian operations. The Canadian
Revolver bears interest at the
42
banks prime lending rate plus 0.50% and is secured by a letter of credit of $2.6 million, which is
included in the $38.5 million of outstanding letters of credit discussed in the Liquidity section
above under Debt, Contractual Obligations and Letters of Credit. The interest rate at June 30,
2006 was 6.50%. Based on the outstanding balance of the Canadian Revolver as of June 30, 2006, the
impact of a three-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an immaterial
increase in our annual interest expense.
Risk Management Retention
As more fully discussed in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we retain losses for certain risks
within certain limits through high deductibles or self-insured retentions. In states where we are
insured for workers compensation claims, the majority of our risk in 2006 is covered by a fully
insured program with no deductible. For certain risks, coverage for losses is provided by primary
and reinsurance companies unrelated to our company. Our coverage is based on the date that a claim
is incurred. Haul Insurance Limited, our captive insurance subsidiary, provides reinsurance
coverage to certain of our licensed insurance carriers for certain types of losses for certain
years within our insurance program, primarily insured workers compensation, automobile and general
liability risks. Haul Insurance Limited was not included in the companies that filed for Chapter
11.
We are also required to provide collateral to our insurance companies and various states for losses
in respect of worker injuries, accident, theft, and other loss claims. For this purpose, we
utilize cash and/or letters of credit. To reduce our risks in these areas as well as the letter of
credit or underlying collateral requirements, we have implemented various risk management programs.
However, we can provide no assurance that the current letter of credit requirements will be
reduced nor can we provide assurance that these letter of credit requirements will not increase.
Because we retain liability for a significant portion of our risks, an increase in the number or
severity of accidents, on the job injuries, other loss events over those anticipated, or adverse
development of existing claims including wage and medical cost inflation could have a material
adverse effect on our profitability. While we currently have insurance coverage for claims above
our retention levels, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to obtain insurance coverage
in the future.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Though we operate primarily in the U.S., we own foreign subsidiaries, the most significant being
Allied Systems (Canada) Company. The net investment in our foreign subsidiaries translated into
U.S. dollars using the rate of exchange in effect at June 30, 2006, was $39.6 million. The
potential impact on other comprehensive income resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in quoted
foreign currency exchange rates approximates $4.0 million.
At June 30, 2006, we had an intercompany payable balance of $44.9 million denominated in U.S.
dollars recorded on our Canadian subsidiarys balance sheet. The potential impact from a
hypothetical 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates related to this balance would be
a $4.5 million charge or credit to the income statement. We do not currently use derivative
financial instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Inflation
While we may have been subject to some measure of inflation, we do not believe that this has
impacted our results significantly. In addition, it would be difficult to isolate such effects on
our operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the U.S. requires us to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors we
consider relevant to the circumstances. Such decisions include the selection of applicable
accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which impact
reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in future economic conditions or other business
circumstances may affect the outcomes of our estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, actual results
could differ from those anticipated.
43
A summary of the significant accounting policies that we follow in the preparation of our financial
statements as well as footnotes describing various elements of the financial statements and the
assumptions on which specific amounts were determined, are included in our consolidated financial
statements included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, our critical accounting
policies and estimates are discussed in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and we believe that no
changes have occurred.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial
Statements.
Factors Which May Affect Future Results
Our business is subject to certain risks, including the risks set forth in Part II, Item 1A.Risk
Factors. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should take such risks into account in
evaluating any investment decision involving our securities. More detailed information concerning
these and other risks is contained in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our
other Reports filed with the SEC.
Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other materials we
file with the SEC or otherwise make public. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations, contains
forward-looking statements. In addition, our senior management might make forward-looking
statements orally to analysts, investors, the media and others. Statements concerning our future
operations, prospects, strategies, financial condition, future economic performance (including our
ability to emerge from Chapter 11) and demand for our services, and other statements of our plans,
beliefs, or expectations are forward-looking statements. In some cases these statements are
identifiable through the use of words such as anticipate, believe, estimate, expect,
intend, plan, project, target, can, could, may, should, will, would and similar
expressions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The
forward-looking statements we make are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to
various assumptions, risks and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those suggested by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others,
those set forth in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors and in the other documents that we file with
the SEC. There also are other factors that we may not describe, generally because we currently do
not perceive them to be material, which could cause actual results to differ materially from our
expectations.
We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The information required under this item is provided under the caption Disclosures about Market
Risks under Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this
quarterly report, Allied, under the supervision and with the participation of Allieds management,
including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the
effectiveness of Allieds disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Sections 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, except as set forth below under the heading
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting, Allieds disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in alerting them in a timely manner of material information required to be included
in Allieds periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. In connection with the audit of our
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, KPMG
identified certain deficiencies that were considered to be a material weakness. While KPMG
acknowledged to the Audit Committee and management that they had observed improvement during 2005
in processes and controls with respect to our analysis, evaluation and review of
44
certain financial information included in our financial reporting, KPMG indicated that the design
and operating effectiveness of these new controls could only be evaluated when they have been
operating for a reasonable period of time.
During 2006 we have allocated additional resources to achieve our plan to remediate the material
weakness. However, certain system and process changes are required to complete the plan and such
changes require design, development, testing and implementation. We believe the resources
allocated are appropriate and will achieve the desired objectives.
Since we are not an accelerated filer (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2), we have not
conducted the initial assessment of our internal control over financial reporting mandated by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and will report on that annual assessment in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K, when required, which will be no earlier than for the year ending
December 31, 2007. That process could identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses not
previously reported.
We can provide no assurances that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our
internal control over financial reporting will not be discovered in the future. If we fail to
remediate any such material weakness, our operating results or customer relationships could be
adversely affected or we may fail to meet our SEC reporting requirements or our financial
statements may contain a material misstatement.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial
reporting objectives or of preventing fraud due to its inherent limitations, regardless of how well
designed or implemented. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human
diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human
failures. Because of these limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements or instances of
fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal control over financial
reporting.
Other than the items identified above, there were no other changes in our internal control over
financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various litigation and environmental matters relating to workers compensation,
products liability, auto liability, employment practices, and other matters arising from operations
in the ordinary course of business. We believe that the ultimate disposition of these matters will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial position but could have a material effect on
our results of operations in future periods.
See also Note 14 (c) of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Item 1. Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to certain risks, including the risks described below. Readers of this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should take such risks into account in evaluating any investment
decision involving our securities. This Item 1A does not describe all risks applicable to our
business and is intended only as a summary of certain material factors that affect our operations
and the carhaul industry in which we operate. More detailed information concerning these and other
risks is contained in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other reports
filed with the SEC.
We may not be able to successfully reorganize under Chapter 11, which would likely terminate
our future business prospects and our ability to continue as a going concern and result in a
liquidation of our assets.
On July 31, 2005, Allied Holdings, Inc. and substantially all its subsidiaries filed for voluntary
reorganization under Chapter 11. Our ability to successfully reorganize could be hampered by a
number of factors including our ability to obtain the required votes of the Creditors Committee to
approve and implement a plan of reorganization, our ability to reach agreements with the Teamsters
in the United States on modifications to the Master Agreement which we
45
believe are necessary to allow us to emerge from Chapter 11, our ability to comply with the
covenants contained within our DIP Facility, as well as financing to replace the DIP Facility upon
the earlier of our emergence from Chapter 11 or the termination of such facility, our ability to
motivate and retain key employees and suppliers and the extent to which the reorganization process
serves to divert managements attention away from the daily running of the business. In addition,
the adverse publicity regarding our Chapter 11 filings and performance could affect our results
going forward. Any adverse effect on our credit standing with our lenders and suppliers could
affect the costs of doing business and our negotiating power with lenders and creditors. We can
provide no assurance that the reorganization process will be successful. If it is not successful,
it is likely that we would be forced to cease operations and liquidate our assets.
We have a significant amount of debt and substantially all our assets are pledged as collateral for
debt obligations, which could limit our operational flexibility and customer relationships or
otherwise adversely affect our financial condition.
As of June 30, 2006, we had borrowings under our DIP Facility of approximately $142.4 million and
Senior Notes outstanding of $150 million. As more fully discussed in Part I, Item 2. Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity and Capital
Resources, additional borrowings may be available under our DIP Facility. However, we are exposed
to the risks normally associated with substantial amounts of debt such as:
|
|
|
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend our debt as it matures. The Revolver
under the DIP Facility matures on February 2, 2007 and the term loans under the DIP
Facility mature on June 30, 2007; |
|
|
|
|
If we are not able to refinance or extend our debt when it matures, we may not be able
to repay the debt; |
|
|
|
|
Substantially all our assets are pledged as collateral for our debt and as a result we
are limited in our ability to sell assets to generate additional cash; |
|
|
|
|
Our flexibility in responding to changes in the business and industry may be reduced; |
|
|
|
|
We may be more vulnerable to economic downturns; |
|
|
|
|
We may be unable to invest in our fleet of Rigs; |
|
|
|
|
We may be unable to meet customer demands; and |
|
|
|
|
We may be limited in our ability to withstand competitive pressures. |
The terms of our DIP Facility place restrictions on us, which create risks of default and reduces
our flexibility.
Our DIP Facility contains a number of affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, which limit
our ability to, among other things, incur or repay debt (with the exception of payment of interest
or principal at stated maturity), incur liens, make investments, purchase or redeem stock, make
dividend or other distributions or enter into a merger or consolidation transaction.
If we fail to comply with the covenants contained in our DIP Facility, and these are not waived, or
we do not adequately service our DIP Facility, our lenders could declare a default under the DIP
Facility. If a default occurs under our DIP Facility, our lenders may elect to declare all
borrowings outstanding, together with interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable.
Borrowings under our DIP Facility are collateralized with substantially all of our assets. If we
were unable to repay any borrowings under our DIP Facility when due, our lenders would have the
right to proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the debt. Any default under our
DIP Facility, particularly any default that resulted in acceleration of indebtedness or foreclosure
on collateral, would have a material and adverse affect on us.
We will be required to make significant capital expenditures on our Rigs in the coming years or we
may not be able to maintain our current level of terminal operations or customer relationships.
46
In recent years, as a result of our financial condition, we have operated under a reduced capital
expenditure plan with respect to our fleet of Rigs. As a result, we have been unable to replace or
remanufacture the number of Rigs or engines we normally would have if we had not been forced to
significantly reduce our capital expenditures. We believe that approximately 67% of our active
fleet of Rigs will reach the end of their useful lives and must be replaced in 2006 through 2010,
which will require a significant increase in our capital spending on the fleet, from approximately
$34 million in 2006 to approximately $85.5 million in 2007 and approximately $75 million in each of
the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. No assurances can be provided that we will have the necessary
capital from our operations or that we will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us,
or at all, to support this necessary increase in capital investment. In addition, even if we are
able to invest the $34 million budgeted for our fleet of Rigs in 2006, we still believe that
approximately 240 of the Rigs that we own will be at risk of failing during 2006 as a result of
tractor engine failures or trailer failures or the Rigs otherwise reaching the end of their useful
lives. A large number of Rig failures in 2006 or beyond could result in our inability to meet our
service requirements under existing customer contracts, which could result in the termination of
such agreements by our customers and would likely have a material adverse effect on our operations
and financial results.
Additionally, between the beginning of January 2004 and June 30, 2006, we have removed 953 tractors
and 1,085 trailers from our operations, and as a result, we presently have no excess Rigs that we
could utilize to service our existing business beyond the Rigs that we presently operate. In the
event we do not have sufficient funds available to make the capital expenditures outlined above at
the appropriate time or if our Rig engines or tractors fail, we will be required to remove Rigs
from operations. In the event we are required to remove Rigs from operations for this or other
reasons, there will be an adverse effect on our operations, our financial results and customer
relationships.
If we are not able to modify our Master Agreement with the IBT in the U.S. or renegotiate our other
union contracts on terms favorable to us as they expire, or if work stoppages or other labor
disruptions occur during such negotiations, it could preclude us from emerging from bankruptcy and
would have a material adverse effect on our operations.
On March 8, 2006, certain of our subsidiaries, including Allied Systems, Ltd. made a proposal to
the IBT for a new collective bargaining agreement regarding their employees in the U.S. represented
by the Teamsters, by modifying the current collective bargaining agreement, which expires on May
31, 2008 and covers approximately 3,700 drivers and yard and shop personnel employed by our
Automotive Group. The proposal seeks to eliminate future increases to wages, health and welfare
benefits and pension contributions as contemplated by the Master Agreement and in the aggregate
seeks to reduce current Teamster employee compensation by approximately 17%. We believe our
proposal would reduce our costs, during the remaining term of the collective bargaining agreement,
by approximately $65 million per year as long as our proposed terms remain in effect. We have
proposed a new agreement, which would begin as soon as an agreement is reached, and have commenced
negotiations with the IBT.
We can provide no assurance that we will be able to modify our Master Agreement in the U.S. as
necessary to allow us to emerge from Chapter 11 or to negotiate new union contracts as the current
contracts expire, or that such contracts will be on terms acceptable to us or that these contracts
will not result in increased labor costs, labor disruptions, increased employee turnover, higher
risk management costs, work stoppages, or lost customer market share which could in turn, have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or customer
relationships.
Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow and interest expense.
A portion of our indebtedness is subject to variable rates of interest. In addition, we may also
incur additional debt obligations attracting interest at variable rates and/or may refinance our
current debt at higher interest rates.
Therefore, our interest expense could increase which in turn would reduce the amounts available for
servicing our debt, funding our operations and capital expenditure program, meeting customer
demands and pursuing new business opportunities.
A shortage of fuel or higher fuel prices resulting from fuel shortages or other factors could have
a detrimental effect on the automotive industry or the automotive transportation industry and could
materially and adversely affect our operations.
Higher fuel prices or a shortage of fuel could impact the sales of SUVs or light trucks at our
major customers, which
47
could impair our revenues and negatively impact our earnings. Further, fuel is a major expense in
the transportation of automobiles and the cost and availability of fuel are subject to economic and
political factors and events, which we can neither control nor accurately predict. We attempt to
minimize the effect of fuel price fluctuations by periodically purchasing a portion of our fuel in
advance, but we can provide no assurance that such activity will effectively mitigate our exposure.
In addition, we have negotiated fuel surcharges with substantially all of our customers, which now
enable us to pass on a portion of any increase in fuel costs to these customers. Customer fuel
surcharges reset at varying intervals, which do not exceed one quarter, based on fuel prices in the
applicable preceding time period. This results in a lag between the time period when actual fuel
prices change and the time period when the fuel surcharge is adjusted. Nevertheless, we can provide
no assurance that we will be able to continue to obtain fuel surcharges from these customers.
Furthermore, in periods of rising fuel prices and declining vehicle deliveries, we may not recover
all of the fuel price increase through our fuel surcharge programs due to the lag discussed above.
Higher fuel prices resulting from fuel shortages or other factors could materially and adversely
affect us if we are unable to pass on the full amount of fuel price increases to our customers
through fuel surcharges or higher shipment rates. In addition, higher fuel prices, even if passed
on to customers, or a shortage of fuel supply, or the timing of fuel surcharge recoveries could
have an adverse effect on the automotive transportation industry and our business in general.
A further decline in the automotive industry could have a material adverse effect on our
operations.
The automotive transportation industry in which we operate is dependent upon the volume of new
automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks manufactured, imported and sold in North America. The
automotive industry is highly cyclical, and the demand for new automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks
is directly affected by such external factors as general economic conditions in the U.S and Canada,
unemployment, consumer confidence, government policies, continuing activities of war, terrorist
activities, and the availability of affordable new car financing. As a result, our results of
operations could be adversely affected by further downturns in the general economy and in the
automotive industry and by consumer preferences in purchasing new automobiles, SUVs, and light
trucks or the overall financial condition of our major customers. A significant decline in the
volume of automobiles, SUVs, and light trucks manufactured, distributed, and sold in North America
could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The internal strategies of our largest customers could have a material effect on our performance.
Allied Automotives business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford,
DaimlerChrysler, Toyota and Honda. General Motors and Ford have publicly announced plans to reduce
production levels and eliminate excess manufacturing capacity including plans to eliminate jobs and
reduce costs for certain employees. The efforts underway by our customers to improve their overall
financial condition could result in numerous changes that are beyond our control including
additional unannounced customer plant closings, changes in products or distribution patterns,
further volume reductions, labor disruptions, changes or disruptions in our accounts receivable,
mandatory reductions in our pricing, terms or service conditions or market share losses. We cannot
accurately anticipate some of the risks associated with the financial condition of our largest
customers.
Losses may exceed our insurance coverage or reserves.
Because we retain liability for a significant portion of our risks, an increase in the number or
severity of accidents, on the job injuries, other loss events over those anticipated, or adverse
developments in existing claims including wage and medical cost inflation could have a material
adverse effect on our profitability. While we currently have insurance coverage for the majority of
our U.S. workers compensation claims in 2006 and other claims above our retention levels, there
can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such insurance coverage in the future.
We establish liabilities for our self-insured obligations based on actuarial valuations, our
historical claims experience and managements evaluation of the nature and severity of claims made
against us. If the cost of these claims exceeds our estimates, as could occur if there were
unfavorable developments in existing claims, we would be required to record additional expense in
subsequent years.
We have a history of losses and may not be able to improve our performance to achieve
profitability.
We reported net losses of $125.7 million, $53.9 million, $8.6 million, $7.5 million and $39.5
million for the years
48
ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively and a net loss of $2.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition, our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2006 was
$216.6 million. Our ability to improve our performance and profitability are dependent upon several
factors including the timely and successful confirmation and implementation of a plan of
reorganization, the economy, the dynamics of the automotive transportation industry including
actions by our major customers, our ability to develop and implement successful business
strategies, our ability to maintain effective relationships with our employees including those
represented by the Teamsters, our ability to maintain effective relationships with our suppliers,
the price and availability of fuel and our ability to successfully manage other operational
challenges. If we fail to improve our performance, it could continue to have an adverse effect on
our financial condition, cash flow, liquidity and business prospects and our operations would not
likely be profitable in the ensuing years.
Our restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits are not available for use in our
general operations even if they were needed to fund our operations.
As of June 30, 2006, our restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits were
approximately $102.9 million. We use these restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time
deposits to collateralize letters of credit required by third-party insurance companies for the
settlement of insurance claims. These assets are not available for use in our general operations
even if needed for our continued operations or to service our debt obligations.
If we do not maintain our relationships with major customers or these relationships are terminated,
reduced or redesigned, our operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Allied Automotives business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford,
DaimlerChrysler, Toyota and Honda. Approximately 88% of our Automotive Groups 2005 revenues were
generated through the services provided to these customers. Allied Automotive anticipates that it
will continue to renew its contracts with its significant customers on or before expiration of the
existing contracts or will serve its customers without interruption under the terms of current
contracts, which may expire. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to
successfully renew these contracts on or prior to their expiration on terms satisfactory to us or
that we will be able to continue to serve these customers without service interruption. In
addition, the Automotive Group faces the risk of losing market share in connection with its
negotiations to renew its customer contracts. For instance, in 2004, the Automotive Group renewed
its agreement with DaimlerChrysler and though the agreement resulted in increased billing rates,
the Automotive Group lost DaimlerChryslers business at six locations in connection with the
contract renewal. Also, in 2005, in connection with the renewal of its contract with Toyota, the
Automotive Group lost business at locations that generated approximately 32% of the 2005 revenues
associated with the Toyota account. A continued loss in market share without an increase in
revenues or pricing or an adequate reduction in costs would likely have an adverse effect on our
operations.
Our Automotive Group believes that its relationships with its customers are mutually satisfactory;
however, we can provide no assurance that these relationships will not be terminated in whole or in
part in the future. Furthermore, automotive manufacturers are relying increasingly on logistics
companies and re-engineering vehicle delivery practices, which could result in a reduction of
services provided by us or an increase in the Automotive Groups cost of delivery for some or all
of our major customers. A significant reduction in vehicle production levels, plant closings, or
the imposition of vendor price reductions by these manufacturers, or the individual loss of General
Motors, Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Toyota or Honda as a customer, or a significant reduction or a
change in the design, definition, frequency or terms of the services provided for any of these
customers by our Automotive Group would have a material adverse effect on our operations. General
Motors, DaimlerChrysler and Ford, in particular, have publicly announced plans to significantly
reduce vendor costs including those costs associated with logistics services.
Competition in the automotive transportation industry could result in a loss of our market share or
a reduction in our rates, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
The automotive transportation industry is highly competitive. Our Automotive Group currently
competes with other motor carriers of varying sizes, as well as with railroads and independent
owner-operators. Allied Automotive also competes with nonunion motor carriers that may be able to
provide services to their customers at lower prices and in a more flexible manner than we can. The
development of new methods for hauling vehicles could also lead to increased competition. For
example, some customers occasionally utilize local drive-away services to facilitate local delivery
of products. There has also been an increase in the number of automobile-hauling companies that
utilize
49
nonunion labor, and we believe that the market share and Rig capacity represented by such companies
is increasing. Automobile-hauling companies that utilize nonunion labor operate at a significant
cost advantage as compared to our Automotive Group and other unionized automobile-hauling
companies. Nonunion car-haul competitors also operate without restrictive work rules that apply to
our Automotive Group and other unionized companies. Railroads, which specialize in long-haul
transportation, may be able to provide delivery services at costs to customers that are less than
the long-haul delivery cost of Allied Automotives services. Further, the railroads could form
alliances for local delivery of customer products. If we lose market share to these competitors, or
have to reduce our rates in order to retain our market share, our financial condition and results
of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Our common stock is not currently listed on a national securities exchange, which could make it
more difficult for investors to liquidate their shares, result in a decline in the stock price and
make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.
We voluntarily requested that our common stock be delisted from the American Stock Exchange
(AMEX) during 2005 since we did not believe that we would be able to comply with the continuing
listing requirements of the AMEX. The stock was subsequently delisted in August 2005 and is
currently traded on the Pink Sheets, which are a daily listing of bid and ask prices for
over-the-counter stocks not included on the daily over-the-counter bulletin boards. We can provide
no assurance that we will be able to re-list our common stock on a national securities exchange or
that the stock will continue being traded on the Pink Sheets.
Adverse changes in the foreign business climate, primarily in Canada, could adversely affect our
operations.
Although the majority of our operational activity takes place in the U.S., we derive a portion of
our revenues and earnings from operations in foreign countries, primarily Canada. The risks of
doing business in foreign countries include the potential for adverse changes in the local
political climate, adverse changes in diplomatic relations between foreign countries and the U.S.,
hostility from local populations, terrorist activity, the potential adverse effects of currency
exchange controls, increased security at U.S. border crossings which could slow the movement of
freight and increase our operating costs, deterioration of foreign economic conditions, currency
rate fluctuations, foreign exchange restrictions and potential changes in local taxation policies.
Due to the foregoing risks, any of which, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our
operations, we believe that our business activities outside of the U.S. involve a higher degree of
risk than our domestic activities.
Major changes in key personnel on whom we depend could adversely affect our operations.
Our success is dependent upon our senior management team, as well as our ability to attract and
retain qualified personnel. If our management team is unable to develop successful strategies,
achieve company objectives or maintain satisfactory relationships with our customers, employees,
suppliers and creditors, our ability to grow our business and meet business challenges could be
impaired. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to retain our existing senior management
team or that we will be able to attract qualified replacement personnel.
The loss of our Teamster drivers and mechanics could adversely affect our operations.
Our ability to perform daily operations on behalf of our customers is dependent upon our ability to
attract and retain qualified drivers and mechanics to staff our Automotive Groups terminals and
garages. Should we experience higher Teamster employee retirements or resignations due to our
efforts to seek interim wage relief or modifications in our Master Agreement, our ability to grow
our business, maintain our current business levels and meet customer service requirements could be
adversely impacted. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to retain existing Teamster
personnel at existing staffing levels or attract new Teamster employees to replenish our work
force.
We have previously had material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting,
and any unidentified material weaknesses could cause us to fail to meet our SEC and other
reporting requirements.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2003, 2004 and 2005, KPMG identified certain deficiencies that were considered to be a material
weakness. While KPMG acknowledged to the Audit Committee and management that they had observed
improvement during 2005 in processes and controls with respect to our analysis, evaluation and
review of certain financial information included in our
50
financial reporting, KPMG indicated that the design and operating effectiveness of these new
controls could only be evaluated when they have been operating for a reasonable period of time.
During 2006 we have allocated additional resources to achieve our plan to remediate the material
weakness. However, certain system and process changes are required to complete the plan and such
changes require design, development, testing and implementation. We believe the resources
allocated are appropriate and will achieve the desired objectives.
Since we are not an accelerated filer (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2), we have not
conducted the initial assessment of our internal control over financial reporting mandated by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and will report on that annual assessment in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K, when required, which will be no earlier than for the year ending
December 31, 2007. That process could identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses not
previously reported.
We can provide no assurances that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our
internal control over financial reporting will not be discovered in the future. If we fail to
remediate any such material weakness, our operating results or customer relationships could be
adversely affected or we may fail to meet our SEC reporting requirements or our financial
statements may contain a material misstatement.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial
reporting objectives or of preventing fraud due to its inherent limitations, regardless of how well
designed or implemented. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human
diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human
failures. Because of these limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements or instances of
fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by our internal control over financial
reporting.
