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) or its successor, Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware 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 protection 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.
(collectively with its subsidiaries referred to as Allied Automotive or the/our Automotive
Group) and Axis Group, Inc. (Axis or the 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 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of Georgia (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking protection under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code (Chapter 11). Our captive insurance subsidiary, 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.
On May 18, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors Modified Second
Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, dated April 6, 2007
(the Joint Plan). On May 29, 2007, the effective date of the Joint Plan (the Effective Date),
the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
As of the Effective Date and pursuant to the Joint Plan, all equity interests in Allied were
cancelled and a certificate of merger was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State effecting the
merger of Allied Holdings, Inc. into its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Systems Holdings, Inc., a
Delaware corporation, with Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. as the surviving corporation. Also as of
the Effective Date, the authorized capital stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. became one
hundred million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and ten million
(10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
We continue to operate in substantially our previous form, and the
outstanding claims against and interests in the Debtors are being resolved pursuant to the Joint
Plan. As of the Effective Date, our debtor-in-possession credit facilities were converted to exit
financing facilities (Secured Credit Facilities). The implementation of the Joint Plan includes, among
other things, the consummation of the following transactions:
|
i) |
|
Payment in cash, reinstatement, return of collateral or other treatment of other
secured claims, as agreed to with the holder of each such claim; |
|
|
ii) |
|
Distribution of new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis
to the holders of allowed general unsecured claims; |
|
|
iii) |
|
Cancellation of the existing
common stock interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. (holders of equity interests receive
nothing under the Joint Plan); and |
|
|
iv) |
|
Assumption of selected contracts. |
Upon our
emergence from Chapter 11, Yucaipa American Alliance Fund I, LP
and Yucaipa American Alliance (Parallel) Fund I, LP became owners of
the majority of our common stock. Yucaipa American Alliance
Fund I, LP and Yucaipa American Alliance (Parallel) Fund I,
LP along with their related legal entities will be referred to as
Yucaipa hereafter. Two of Yucaipas employees now
serve as members of our Board of Directors. Upon our successful
emergence from Chapter 11, the Bankruptcy Court approved fees of
approximately $6.6 million payable to Yucaipa for its
substantial contribution in the development of the Joint Plan, which
fees were paid in May 2007.
We have
also entered into a management agreement with Yucaipa under which
Yucaipa will provide various services for our company for a fee of
$1.5 million per year.

Credit Facilities.
(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 (SEC) 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, management believes that 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, 2006. 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, 2006. 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.
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.
On the Effective Date, we emerged from Chapter 11 with a redesigned capital structure, lower debt,
improved customer contracts and improved contract terms with the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters (the Teamsters or IBT) regarding our employees in the U.S. represented by the
Teamsters. We believe that the factors that precipitated our need to file for protection under
Chapter 11 have been adequately addressed and that we are positioned to improve our operating
performance and profitability. However, our ability to achieve the necessary improvements is
dependent upon several factors including the timely and successful implementation of the Joint
Plan, the economy, the dynamics of the automotive transportation industry including actions by our
major customers, our ability to retain our existing business, 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 and customers, 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.
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 (1) any adjustments to the
carrying values of assets and liabilities that will be required as a
result of the Joint Plan, or (2)
the adjustments required as a result of the implementation of fresh-start reporting, which
adjustments are more fully discussed in Note 3. Further, asset and liability carrying amounts
contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not purport to represent the realizable or
settlement values pursuant to the Joint Plan.
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

(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
and equipment and goodwill; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax assets;
uncertain tax positions; self-insurance liabilities; 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
shutdowns 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. However, given the unpredictable nature of
consumer sentiment and our customers emphasis on more effective use of plant capacity,
particularly those of General Motors Corporation, Ford Motor Company and Chrysler Corporation (the
Big Three), there can be no assurance that historical revenue patterns or manufacturer production
levels will be an accurate indicator of future OEM shipment activity. Delivery activity at the
Automotive Group and the Axis Group can also be impacted by the availability of rail cars, rail
transportation schedules or changes in customer service demands. As a result of these and other
factors, our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
(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) as of the Petition Date. |
In addition, SOP 90-7 requires the implementation of fresh-start reporting if (1) the
reorganization value of the assets of the entity that emerges from Chapter 11 is less than the sum
of the postpetition liabilities and allowed claims and (2) holders of voting shares immediately
before confirmation of the plan of reorganization receive less than 50 percent of the voting shares
of the emerging entity. We will implement fresh-start reporting as of May 31, 2007 (the
fresh-start reporting date), pursuant to SOP 90-7 since, based on the Joint Plan, the
reorganization value of our assets post-emergence is less than the sum of the postpetition
liabilities and allowed claims and holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the
Joint Plan are entitled to less than 50 percent of our voting shares post-emergence.
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 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 that were
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.
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 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. As of
March 31, 2007, contractual interest not accrued since the Petition Date was approximately $21.6
million, excluding any potential compound or default interest arising from events of default
related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings.
Liabilities subject to compromise were as follows at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (in
thousands):

Pro Forma Fresh-Start Balance Sheet
As noted above, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, we will adopt fresh-start
reporting pursuant to SOP 90-7. Upon emergence, a new reporting entity (the Successor Company)
was created and the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities will be adjusted to reflect
estimated fair values. The financial statements of the Successor Company will not be comparable,
in various material respects, to any of our previously issued financial statements.
Fresh-start reporting will reflect the value of the Successor Company as determined in the
confirmed Joint Plan. Presented below is a pro forma fresh-start balance sheet reflecting the
estimated effects of the Joint Plan, including settlement of liabilities subject to compromise,
cancellation of existing stock of Allied Holdings, Inc. and issuance of new common stock of Allied
Systems Holdings, Inc. Also included are the estimated fresh-start adjustments, such as the
restatement of assets and liabilities to fair values. The pro forma balance sheet was prepared as
if the adoption of fresh-start reporting had occurred as of March 31, 2007.
Appraisals of our tangible and intangible assets have not been completed and various data to
determine the fair value of liabilities are still being compiled. Therefore the pro forma balance
sheet does not reflect the final allocation of the reorganization value to individual assets and
liabilities. Accordingly, the amounts shown are subject to changes and revisions.
In addition, in accordance with SOP 90-7, upon implementation of fresh-start reporting we will be
required to adopt any changes in accounting principles that would otherwise be required within
twelve months of the fresh-start

pronouncements and the following condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet does not include
the impact, if any, of such new pronouncements.

(4) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 establishes a single
authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
expanded disclosures about fair-value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies only to fair-value
measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected
to increase the consistency of those measurements. SFAS No. 157
clarifies the definition of fair value. Specifically, this Statement clarifies that the exchange
price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or
transfer the liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or
liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. This
Statement also emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement. Therefore, a fair-value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that
market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 expands disclosures
about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods
subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value
and, for recurring fair-value measurements using significant unobservable inputs, the effect of the
measurements on earnings for the period. This Statement encourages entities to combine the fair
value information disclosed under this Statement with the fair value information disclosed under
other accounting pronouncements, including SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments, where practicable. SFAS No. 157 would otherwise be effective for our financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 2008, and interim periods within 2008. However, we
expect to implement SFAS No. 157 at the fresh-start reporting date, pursuant to SOP 90-7. The
provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively, except for limited exceptions, in
which case, it should be applied retrospectively. We have not determined whether the provisions of
SFAS No. 157 will require any changes to our fair-value measurements after the effective date of
the Statement. However, expanded disclosures of fair value will be required.
Effective December 31, 2006, we adopted the recognition and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 158,
Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of
FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R), which required, as of December 31, 2006, the initial
recognition of the funded status of our defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit
plans and also certain additional disclosures. SFAS No. 158 also requires the measurement of
defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employers fiscal year-end
balance sheet for the year ending December 31, 2008. However, we expect to implement this provision
as of the fresh-start reporting date pursuant to SOP 90-7. We utilize a measurement date of
December 31 for the postretirement benefit plans and for the Allied Defined Benefit Pension Plan.
With respect to the other two defined benefit pension plans, we utilize a measurement date of
September 30.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option For Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities, including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to
choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the fair value
option). A business entity is required to report unrealized gains and losses on items for which
the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent
12
ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected
are to be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No. 159 is effective at the
beginning of fiscal years beginning on or after November 15, 2007. We have not yet decided whether
we will elect the fair value option in 2008 nor have we determined the associated impact if we make
this election.

As more fully discussed in Note 11, in the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an agreement
with Yucaipa pursuant to which Yucaipa would purchase certain specialized tractors and car-haul
trailers (Rigs) from the bankruptcy auction of Blue Thunder Auto Transport, Inc. (the Blue
Thunder Rigs). The Blue Thunder Rigs would then be sold to us at cost. We financed these Rigs
with purchase money financing provided to us by Yucaipa. See Note 11 for a discussion of this
financing arrangement. Pursuant to this agreement, we purchased 170 Rigs from Yucaipa during the
second quarter of 2007 at a cost of $13.5 million. The Blue Thunder Rigs range between three to
five years in age.

(9) Insurance and Claims
We retain losses for specified risks subject to limits through high deductibles or self-insured
retentions. For specified 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 selected losses and
years within our insurance program, primarily insured workers compensation, automobile and general
liability risks. In states where we are insured for workers compensation claims, the majority of
our risk in 2006 and 2007 is covered by a fully insured program with no deductible.
Claims and insurance liabilities are adjusted periodically, as claims develop, to reflect changes
in actuarial estimates based on actual experience. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the
estimated ultimate amount of claims from prior years decreased approximately $1.4 million or $0.16
per share.
The amounts recognized in the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets as of March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006 represent the undiscounted estimated ultimate amount of claims. These
amounts are presented below (in thousands):

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 liabilities 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 our consolidated financial statements.

A substantial number of our employees are covered by union-sponsored, collectively bargained,
multiemployer pension plans. In the event we reduce the level of 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 the actuarially determined
unfunded obligation 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. 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 March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

(b) Employee Retention Plan
The Allied Holdings, Inc. Amended Severance Pay and Retention and Emergence Bonus Plan for Key
Employees (the employee retention plan) was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on January 6, 2006.
The employee retention plan includes three components: a severance component, a stay bonus
component and a discretionary bonus component. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006, we recognized reorganization expenses of $360,000 and $817,000, respectively, related to the
stay and discretionary bonus components. No expense was recognized during the three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006 related to the severance portion of the employee retention plan. The
liabilities related to the employee retention plan were $1.6 million and $1.7 million at March 31,
2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and are included in other accrued liabilities in the
accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets. We paid $1.0 million of the retention amount
in May 2007 in connection with the Bankruptcy Courts confirmation of the Joint Plan and the final
retention payment of $1.0 million was made in July 2007, 60 days after the Effective Date.
On April 30, 2007, the Board of Directors notified our Chief Executive Officer that his employment
would be terminated on or about May 31, 2007. In connection therewith, we paid $1.1 million to
him, the severance amount due to him under the employee retention plan. This amount will be
recognized as an expense during the three months ending June 30, 2007 on or prior to the
fresh-start reporting date.

Original DIP Facility
In connection with the Chapter 11 Proceedings, on August 1, 2005, we obtained debtor-in-possession
financing of up to $230 million (the Original DIP Facility). General Electric Capital
Corporation and Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. served as agents for the lenders. The Original
DIP Facility initially provided for aggregate financing of up to $230 million comprised of (i) a
$130 million revolving credit facility (Original DIP Revolver), which included a swing-line
credit commitment of $10 million and up to $75 million in letters of credit, (ii) a $20 million
term loan (Original DIP Facility Term Loan A) and (iii) an $80 million term loan (Original DIP
Facility Term Loan B). The Original DIP Revolver bore 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 the London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus 3.00%. In addition, we were charged a
letter of credit fee under the Original DIP Revolver payable monthly at a rate per annum equal to
2.75% times the amount of all outstanding letters of credit under the Original DIP Revolver. There
was also a fee of 0.5% on the unused portion of the Original DIP Revolver.
On June 30, 2006, we entered into a fifth amendment (the Fifth Amendment) to the Original DIP
Facility to provide $30 million of additional availability through a new term loan (Original DIP
Facility Term Loan C). The

ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Original DIP Facility Term Loan C bore 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 Fifth Amendment provided us with additional availability by
allowing the payment of interest in kind on Original DIP Facility Term Loan B by addition to
principal on a monthly basis. Accordingly, subsequent to the Fifth Amendment, the Original DIP
Facility provided for debtor-in-possession financing of up to $260 million plus interest paid in
kind. Further, the Fifth Amendment reduced the interest rate on Original DIP Facility Term Loan B
from LIBOR plus 9.5% to LIBOR plus 8.5%. The interest rate on Original DIP Facility Term Loan A
remained unchanged at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 5.5%. During the first quarter of 2007, we paid
interest in kind by addition to principal of approximately $3.4 million. During 2006, we paid
interest in kind by addition to principal of approximately $6.3 million. The deferred financing
fees relating to the Original DIP Facility were expensed during the first quarter of 2007 as part
of the extinguishment of the debt.
New DIP Facility
The New DIP Facility, which was arranged by an affiliate of Goldman Sachs & Co., was entered into
on March 30, 2007 and amended in April 2007, provided financing of up to $315 million and replaced
the Original DIP Facility. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the New DIP Facility
provided us with the option to convert to exit financing upon our emergence from Chapter 11, which
we exercised, as described below under Secured Credit Facilities. The New DIP Facility included
a $230 million secured term loan facility, a $50 million synthetic senior letter of credit facility
and a $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility (New DIP Revolver), which included a
swing-line credit commitment of $10 million. Proceeds from the New DIP Facility of $205 million at
March 30, 2007 were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Original DIP Facility and
associated fees, and to provide additional liquidity for working capital needs. Excess cash
received in connection with the funding of the New DIP Facility was invested in overnight
repurchase agreements (REPOs). In connection with the repayment of the Original DIP Facility and
the funding of the New DIP Facility, we paid fees of approximately $9.4 million, $1.3 million of
which related to the early repayment of the Original DIP Facility and $8.1 million of which related
to the New DIP Facility. The fees related to the early repayment of the Original DIP Facility are
included in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and include a prepayment penalty
of $1.1 million.
The interest rates on the term loans in the New DIP Facility were based on either the Base Rate
plus 2.50%, or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.50%. The interest rate on the New DIP Revolver was
based on either the Base Rate plus 1% or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2%. The swing line loans
bore interest at the Base Rate plus 2.5%. Base Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to
the greater of (i) the Prime Rate in effect on such day and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate
in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate is generally LIBOR, but the rate
could be affected if the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System regulated a reserve
requirement. In addition, we were charged a participation fee pursuant to the letter of credit
facility equal to approximately 3.80% per annum of the amount of the synthetic letter of credit
facility plus a fronting fee of 0.55% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under letters of credit issued under the synthetic letter of credit facility. We were also
obligated to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.375% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion
of the New DIP Revolver and a commitment fee of 1.75% per annum times the daily average undrawn
portion of the term loan facility. As of March 31, 2007, $205 million was outstanding under the
term loans and we had not drawn on the New DIP Revolver. On May 11, 2007, the remaining $25
million was drawn under the term loans and the excess cash was invested in REPOs.
On May 15, 2007, we restructured the New DIP Facility resulting in (1) an amended and restated
$265 million first lien credit facility (the First Lien Facility) with Goldman Sachs Credit
Partners L.P., as lead Arranger and Syndication Agent, and The CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc., as
Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and (2) a $50 million second lien term loan facility with
Goldman Sachs Credit Partners L.P., as lead Arranger, Syndication Agent, Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent (the Second Lien Facility). As amended and restated, the First Lien Facility
provided for aggregate financing of $265 million comprised of a $180 million secured term loan
facility (the First Lien Term Facility), a $50 million synthetic letter of credit facility (the
Letter
of Credit Facility) and a $35 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the First Lien
Revolver), which included a swing-line credit commitment of $10 million. The Second Lien Facility
provided for a $50 million secured term loan. The interest rate on the First Lien Term Facility was
based on the Base Rate plus 3.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.0%. The interest rate on
the Second Lien Facility was based on the Base Rate plus

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

6.5%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%. The interest rate on the New DIP Revolver was
based on the Base Rate plus 1% or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 2%. The swing line loans in
the New DIP Revolver bore interest at the Base Rate plus 1%.
The REPOs discussed above are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are so near to
maturity that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest
rates. In addition, the REPOs have original maturities of three months or less. Accordingly, these
securities qualify to be treated as cash and cash equivalents.
Secured Credit Facilities
As a condition precedent to our emergence from Chapter 11, on May 29, 2007, the First Lien Facility
and the Second Lien Facility were converted to Secured Credit Facilities. As a result of the
conversion, the First Lien Facility will mature five years after the Effective Date and the Second
Lien Facility will mature five and a half years after the Effective Date.
Amounts outstanding under the Secured Credit Facilities will bear interest at the following annual
rates:
|
|
First Lien Term Loan Facility At our option, either the Base Rate (which is equal to the
greater of the prime rate as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal or the
federal funds rate plus one-half of 1% ) plus 3.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 4.0%; |
|
|
Second Lien Term Loan Facility At our option, either the Base Rate plus 6.5%, or the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%; |
|
|
First Lien Revolver At our option, either the Base Rate plus 1.0%, or the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0%. |
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007 we entered into floating-to-fixed
interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest
rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed
rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our Secured Credit Facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50%
of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under
those facilities at the date of the conversion. Future results
of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap
agreements.
In addition, the following are among the fees we will be charged under the Secured Credit
Facilities: (A) a credit fee pursuant to the Letter of Credit Facility equal to the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate plus 4.15% per annum times the average daily amount deposited by the lenders under
the Letter of Credit Facility; (B) a commitment fee of 1.75% per annum times the daily average
undrawn portion of the First Lien Term Loan Facility; (C) a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum
times the daily average undrawn portion of the First Lien Revolver; and (D) a fronting fee under
the Letter of Credit Facility of 0.55% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility.
The Secured Credit Facilities include customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants
binding on us, including delivery of financial statements and other reports and
maintenance of corporate existence. 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
capital stock. The financial covenants included in the Secured Credit Facilities limit the amount
of annual capital expenditures and set forth a maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest
coverage ratio. In addition, the Secured Credit Facilities require mandatory prepayment with the
net cash proceeds from certain asset sales, equity offerings, and any insurance proceeds that we
receive.
The Secured Credit Facilities include customary events of default including events of default
related to (i) failure to make payments when due under the Secured Credit Facilities, (ii) failure
to comply with the financial covenants set forth in the Secured Credit Facilities, (iii) defaults
under other agreements or instruments of indebtedness, (iv) the granting of certain other
super-priority administrative expense claims or non-permitted liens or the invalidity of liens
securing the Secured Credit Facilities, (v) the stay, amendment or reversal of the bankruptcy court
orders approving the New DIP Facilities, or (vi) the granting of relief from the automatic stay to
holders of security interests in our

assets with a book value in excess of $1 million that would have a material adverse effect on us or
(vii) a change in control, except as contemplated by the Joint Plan.
Obligations under the First Lien Facility are secured by a first priority lien on 100% of the
capital stock of our domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of our direct
foreign subsidiaries, all of our current and after-acquired personal and real property and all
intercompany debt. Obligations under the Second Lien Facility are secured by a second priority lien
on 100% of the capital stock of our domestic and Canadian subsidiaries, 65% of the capital stock of
our direct foreign subsidiaries, all of our current and after-acquired personal and real property
and all intercompany debt. The liens securing the Second Lien Facility have been subordinated to
the liens securing the First Lien Facility.
As of September 28, 2007, we had drawn $3 million on the First Lien Revolver and as a result, $32
million was available as of that date.
Debt Classification
If the New DIP Facility had not been converted to the Secured Credit Facilities, it would have
matured no later than September 30, 2007. We intended to refinance the short-term obligation on a
long-term basis, and we subsequently converted it to the long-term Secured Credit Facilities. We
believe that it is not probable that we will be in noncompliance with the provisions of the Secured
Credit Facilities within one-year from the balance sheet date. Therefore, we have excluded the New
DIP Facility from current liabilities and have classified it as noncurrent, pursuant to SFAS No. 6,
Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected To Be Refinanced.
Canadian Revolving Credit Facility
The Canadian revolving credit facility represents the amount drawn down by our subsidiary, Allied
Systems (Canada) Company, from a $2.5 million revolving credit facility with a bank in Canada (the
Canadian Revolver). 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 $40.0 million
of outstanding letters of credit discussed in Note 13(b).
Rig Financing
As discussed in Note 6 above, in the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an agreement with
Yucaipa pursuant to which Yucaipa would purchase the Blue Thunder Rigs, which would then be sold to
us at cost. We financed the purchase of these Rigs with purchase money financing provided to us by
Yucaipa (the Rig Financing), which Rig Financing was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on April 6,
2007. The Rig Financing of $15 million was completed prior to the Effective Date and included funds
to retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs, and to pay certain costs and
expenses associated with the purchase, such as registration expenses. The notes under the Rig
Financing bore interest at the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4%, payable in-kind quarterly by
addition to principal. Pursuant to this agreement, upon our emergence from Chapter 11, the $15.1
million related to the Rig Financing was converted to equity of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. Of
the $15.1 million, $13.5 million
represents the purchase cost of the Rigs, $0.3 million was used to pay certain costs associated
with the purchase, $0.1 million represents interest, and the reminder was received by us to
retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs. As stipulated in the Rig
Financing agreement, upon conversion, Yucaipa was to receive a percentage of the new equity of
Allied Systems Holdings, Inc., with the numerator equal to the amount owed under the Rig Financing,
including interest, and the denominator equal to $285 million minus debt, exclusive of the Rig
Financing, plus cash on the Effective Date, after giving effect to the Joint Plan. Such percentage
was estimated to be approximately 22% of which Yucaipas portion was approximately 18% and the
other participants in the Rig Financing were to receive the remaining 4%. The conversion will be
effected as of the fresh-start reporting date. The excess of the equity value received by Yucaipa
and the other participants over the carrying amount of the Rig Financing will be recognized as an
expense as of the conversion date.

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 SEC. As holders of allowed
general unsecured claims, holders of the Senior Notes received new common stock of Allied Systems
Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis in exchange for the cancellation of the debt pursuant to the
Joint Plan.
(12) Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the income tax (expense) benefit differed from
the amounts 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. For both periods presented, we recognized tax expenses related
to foreign jurisdictions where no valuation allowance is recorded.
In June 2006, the 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 a 50 percent likelihood 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.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The cumulative-effect of applying the
provisions of this Interpretation of $1.2 million was reported as an adjustment to the January 1,
2007, balance of accumulated deficit. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January
1, 2007 after applying the provisions of FIN 48 were $7.0 million. Included in the total
unrecognized benefits at January 1, 2007, are $1.4 million of tax benefits that, if recognized,
would favorably affect the effective income tax rates in future periods. At January 1, 2007, we
had $643,000 of accrued interest and $233,000 of accrued penalties. It is our policy to classify
interest and penalties recognized on the potential underpayment of income taxes as interest expense
and other operating expenses, respectively, in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change from January 1, 2007 to March 31,
2007. For certain uncertain tax positions it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will
change significantly within the next twelve months as a result of the effects of our emergence from
Chapter 11 or the settlement of audits that may be initiated. The range of the change that is
reasonably possible is not currently determinable.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Canada, Mexico and in various state
and provincial jurisdictions. Tax years 2001 through 2006 remain subject to examination for
federal, state and provincial jurisdictions. We have recently been notified that the Canada
Revenue Agency intends to audit the Canadian federal income tax returns for the years 2005 and 2006
for activity after the Petition Date.

(Unaudited)
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.
On May 18, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Joint Plan and on the
Effective Date, the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11.
As debtors-in-possession, we were authorized under Chapter 11 to continue to operate as an ongoing
business, but could 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 were stayed, and absent further order of the Bankruptcy Court, no party,
subject to certain exceptions, could take any action, again subject to certain exceptions, to
recover pre-petition claims against us. One exception to this stay of litigation was 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 applied could 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 the Joint Plan.
(b) Letters of Credit
At March 31, 2007, we had issued $139.8 million of outstanding letters of credit to third parties
related primarily to the settlement of claims and insurance liabilities and support for a line of
credit at one of our foreign subsidiaries. Of the $139.8 million outstanding at March 31, 2007,
$42.0 million of these letters of credit were secured by availability under the New DIP Revolver
and $97.8 million were issued by our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance
Limited, and were collateralized by $97.8 million of restricted cash, cash equivalents and other
time deposits held by this subsidiary. We renew these letters of credit annually. See Note 11 for
a discussion of the current letter of credit facilities under the Secured Credit Facilities
(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 adverse 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 March 31, 2007, the letter of credit totaled $7.5 million and is
included in the $42.0 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, an actuarial valuation will be performed periodically 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. The letter of credit totals $7.5 million as of September 28, 2007.
(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 $75.0
million as of March 31, 2007.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
(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 315 Rigs. Original lease terms range between five and seven
years. However, during 2006 and 2005, we amended certain of these lease agreements to extend them
for an additional year. These operating leases expire between 2007 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 March 31, 2007.
(f) Collective Bargaining Agreements
Employees of our subsidiary, Allied Systems Ltd., which represents approximately 80% of our U.S.
employees, are covered by the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement (Master
Agreement) with the Teamsters in the U.S. The Master Agreement with these employees commenced on
June 1, 2003 and is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2008.
The Joint Plan incorporates modifications to the Master Agreement with the Teamsters. The
modifications were ratified by the affected employees and took effect upon the Effective Date.
These modifications will remain in effect through May 28, 2010 as a part of any new collective
bargaining agreement that we enter into with the Teamsters in the U.S. Significant provisions of
the modifications include:
|
|
|
Total U.S. wage concessions of 15%, limited to $35 million per year during the three-year
duration of the agreement; |
|
|
|
|
The elimination of future Teamster wage increases; |
|
|
|
|
A wage freeze relating to the salaries of management and other nonbargaining employees
during the three-year duration of the agreement, subject to certain exceptions; |
|
|
|
|
The right of Teamsters in the U.S. to receive a portion of earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in excess of the projections included in the
Disclosure Statement for the Joint Plan; |
|
|
|
|
A requirement that a new Chief Executive Officer be appointed by the Effective Date; and |
|
|
|
|
A requirement that within ninety days of the Effective Date, Allied and the IBT reach an
agreement regarding the potential to have the employees of the Axis Group who perform carhaul
work be represented by the IBT and have all carhaul work controlled by the Axis Group
assigned by right of first refusal to our
Automotive Group or another carhaul company subject to the Master Agreement. Allied and the
IBT have extended the date to October 26, 2007 to reach an agreement on this matter. If
Allied and the IBT can not reach a mutual agreement on this matter by October 26, 2007, we
will have four months to sell those operations within the Axis Group. |
Our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters Union in Eastern Canada was to expire on
October 31, 2006. The negotiations regarding a new agreement were postponed during the Chapter 11
Proceedings and further negotiations subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11 resulted in an
extension of the expiration date through June 28, 2007. On June 24, 2007, our Teamster-represented
employees in Eastern Canada ratified a new, three-year agreement that provides for certain wage and
benefit increases retroactive to November 1, 2006, with additional increases scheduled to occur on
November 1, 2007 and November 1, 2008. The effect of the retroactive payments of approximately $1.2
million will be reflected in the statement of operations for the three-month period ending June 30,
2007. This agreement 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 can provide no assurance that our future union contracts which are negotiated as current
contracts expire will not result in increased labor costs, labor disruptions and/or work stoppages,
increased employee turnover or higher risk

management costs, which could in turn materially and adversely affect our financial condition,
results of operations or customer relationships.
(g) Employee Agreements with Certain Executive Officers
As of the Effective Date, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with certain
executive officers of our company. The agreements provide for compensation to the officers in the
form of annual base salaries and are for one-year terms which renew automatically unless either
party gives the required notice before the end of the current term. In addition, we entered into
an employment agreement with our new President and Chief Executive Officer, which became effective
on June 1, 2007. This agreement includes provisions for a sign-on bonus, annual base salary, a
performance-based bonus and reimbursement of relocation expenses, among other provisions. Each of
the employment agreements provide for severance benefits based upon the occurrence of certain
events as defined in the agreement. These employment agreements supersede any severance that would
otherwise be payable under the employee retention plan.
During July 2007, the employment agreement with one of the above executive officers was terminated,
and we paid $225,000 in severance as required by the terms of that agreement. This amount will be
recognized as an expense during the three months ending September 30, 2007.
As disclosed in note 10 above, our Chief Executive Officer was terminated on or about May 31, 2007
and in connection therewith, we paid $1.1 million to him, the severance amount due to him under the
employee retention plan. Also, in May 2007, we rejected the employment agreement dated February
23, 2000 as amended on January 21, 2005 with our then Chairman of the Board of Directors. As
allowed by the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, he is entitled to a claim for damages, based on
the termination provisions of the employment agreement. The claim for approximately $429,000 will
be allowed as a general unsecured claim. These amounts will be recognized as an expense during the
quarter ended June 30, 2007, on or prior to the fresh-start reporting date.
(14) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) of the entity. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we excluded
options to acquire approximately 1,532,000 and 1,573,000 shares of common stock, respectively, from
the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the impact would have been antidilutive.
Pursuant to the Joint Plan, new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. was issued as of the
Effective Date and all interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. common stock prior to the Effective Date,
including options to acquire the common stock, were cancelled.
As of
August 1, 2007, we had issued 7,035,101 shares of Allied Systems
Holdings, Inc. common stock. However, we
are still reviewing creditor claims of pre-petition liabilities and certain of those claims are not
yet liquidated. In addition, the number of shares issued to new shareholders may be revised based
upon resolution of the final claims. Therefore, upon resolution of these matters we could issue
additional shares, which we currently estimate would result in no more than 10,000,000 shares in total.
(15) Stock-Based Compensation
In prior years we awarded nonqualified and incentive stock options under our long-term incentive
plan that was approved by our stockholders. On the Effective Date, the long-term incentive plan
and all interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. common stock, including options to acquire the common
stock, were cancelled.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded stock-based compensation expense
of approximately $57,000 and $93,000, respectively. The expense recorded represented compensation
expense related
23
ALLIED HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(Debtor-in-Possession since July 31, 2005)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
to stock options that were unvested at the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123(R)). No new stock options were granted during the three months
ended March 31, 2007 or the three months ended March 31, 2006. The stock-based compensation
expense recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 is included in salaries,
wages and fringe benefits in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations. At
March 31, 2007, unrecognized compensation expense associated with unvested stock options was
approximately $225,000, all of which will be recognized as expense during the second quarter of
2007, due in part to the cancellation of these options on the Effective Date.

(17) Industry Segment and Geographic Information
In accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information, we have identified two reportable industry segments through which we conduct
our operating activities, Allied Automotive Group and the Axis Group. These two segments reflect
the internal reporting that we use to assess performance and allocate resources. Allied Automotive
Group is engaged in the business of transporting automobiles, light trucks and SUVs from
manufacturing plants, ports, auctions, and railway distribution points to automobile dealerships.
The Axis Group is engaged in the business of securing and managing vehicle distribution services,
automobile inspections, auction and yard management services, vehicle tracking, vehicle

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Our Automotive Groups three largest customers are General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. During the
three months ended March 31, 2007, these customers accounted for 36%, 21% and 14%, 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, Chrysler or our two next largest customers, 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, Ford and
Chrysler, in particular, have each publicly announced plans to significantly reduce vendor costs
including those associated with transportation services. In addition, our two largest customers,
General Motors Corporation and Ford Motor Company, 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.
(18) Supplemental Guarantor Information
As more fully discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006,
substantially all of our subsidiaries, the Guarantor Subsidiaries, guarantee our obligations under
the Senior Notes. The guarantees are full and unconditional. The Guarantors are jointly and
severally liable for our obligations under the Senior Notes and there are no restrictions on the
ability of the Guarantors to make distributions to the parent company, Allied Holdings, Inc. who
owns 100% of the Guarantor Subsidiaries.
The following consolidating balance sheet information, statement of operations information, and
statement of cash flows information present the financial statement information of our parent
company and the combined financial
statement information of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the subsidiaries that do not guarantee the
obligations under the Senior Notes (the Nonguarantor Subsidiaries):

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,
2006. 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 in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Executive Overview
As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Item 1. Financial Statements, from July 31, 2005 through May 29, 2007, the Effective Date, Allied
Holdings, Inc. and substantially all of its subsidiaries operated under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. On the Effective Date, the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11 and Allied Holdings,
Inc. merged into its wholly owned subsidiary, Allied Systems Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, with Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. as the surviving corporation. The authorized
capital stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. as of the Effective Date consisted of one hundred
million (100,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and ten million
(10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share.
We continue to operate in substantially our previous form, and the
outstanding claims against and interests in the Debtors are being resolved pursuant to the Joint
Plan. As of the Effective Date, our debtor-in-possession financing was converted to Secured Credit
Facilities that serve as our exit financing. The implementation of the Joint Plan includes, among other
things, the consummation of the following transactions:
|
i) |
|
Payment in cash, reinstatement, return of collateral or other treatment of other
secured claims, as agreed with the holder of each such claim; |
|
|
ii) |
|
Distribution of new common stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis
to the holders of allowed general unsecured claims; |
|
|
iii) |
|
Cancellation of the existing common stock interests in Allied Holdings, Inc. (holders
of equity interests receive nothing under the Joint Plan); and |
|
|
iv) |
|
Assumption of selected contracts. |
We will adopt fresh-start reporting as of the Effective Date, pursuant to SOP 90-7, which is more fully discussed in Note 3
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in Item 1. Financial Statements. Upon adoption, assets and liabilities will be adjusted to reflect their estimated fair values and the effects of the Joint Plan
will be recorded. As a result, subsequent financial statements of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. will not be comparable, in various material respects, to any of our previously issued financial statements.
In addition, the Joint Plan requires that we work with the IBT to determine whether we can reach an
agreement regarding the potential to have the employees of our Axis Group who perform carhaul work
be represented by the IBT, and if so, on what terms and conditions, and to have carhaul work that
is controlled by the Axis Group assigned by right of first refusal to our Automotive Group or
another carhaul company subject to the Master Agreement. We were to reach an agreement with the
IBT on this issue within ninety days of the Effective Date. Allied and the IBT have agreed to
extend the date to October 26, 2007 to reach an agreement on this matter. If an agreement
acceptable to both Allied and the IBT is not reached by October 26, 2007, we will have four months
to sell those operations within the Axis Group. We are continuing to work with the IBT in an
effort to bring this matter to a conclusion within the sixty-day extension.
On the Effective Date, we emerged from Chapter 11 with a redesigned capital structure, lower debt,
improved customer contracts and improved contract terms with the IBT regarding our employees in the
U.S. represented by the Teamsters. We believe that the factors that precipitated our need to file
for protection under Chapter 11 have been adequately addressed and that we are positioned to
improve our operating performance and profitability. However, our ability to achieve the necessary
improvements is dependent upon several factors including the timely and successful implementation
of the Joint Plan, the economy, the dynamics of the automotive transportation industry including
actions by our major customers, our ability to retain our existing business, 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 and customers, 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.
32
The number of vehicles delivered by our Automotive Group in each of the quarters during 2005 and
2006 and the first quarter of 2007 has been consistently less than the number of vehicles delivered
during the comparable period in the prior year. Furthermore, the level of decline on a
year-over-year basis has been increasing. We have been able to offset at least a portion of the
unfavorable impact on revenue caused by the reduction in the number of vehicles delivered with
customer rate increases. We have reached an agreement in principle with Chrysler Corporation to
renew our current contract for a two year term expiring September 30, 2009. The agreement in
principle provides for us to retain substantially all the business our Automotive Group currently
transports for Chrysler in North America. The agreement in principle provides for increases in the
rates on the business served by our Automotive Group effective October 1, 2007 and October 1,
2008. The agreement in principle remains subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.
Allied Automotives business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford and
Chrysler, who each reduced production levels during 2006 and 2007, including selected plant
closures in the U.S. General Motors and Ford have publicly announced additional 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 and the trend of lower vehicle deliveries in comparison to prior years could continue.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2006
For the first quarter of 2007, our revenues decreased 19.8% over the first quarter of 2006. The
number of vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2007 was 18% lower than the number delivered
in the first quarter of 2006. Revenue per vehicle delivered decreased $3.27 or 2.9%. Our operating
results for the first quarter of 2007 were $6.8 million lower than the first quarter of 2006 and
our net loss increased $4.3 million. The primary factors contributing to the increase in the net
loss were the lower volume of vehicles delivered, which were partially offset by customer rate
increases, a reduction in interest expense and lower workers compensation expense related
primarily to the effect of lower premiums for 2007 coverage. The following table sets forth the
percentage relationship of expense items to revenues:

Revenues
Revenues were $193.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to revenues of $240.8 million in
the first quarter of 2006, a decrease of 19.8% or $47.7 million. The decrease in revenues was due
primarily to a decline in the number of vehicles delivered by our Automotive Group as well as a
decrease in revenue per vehicle delivered.
The number of vehicles that we delivered declined by approximately 18% from 2,076,000 units in the
first quarter of 2006 to 1,700,000 units in the first quarter of 2007. This reduction was due
primarily to a 12% decline in vehicle production by our three largest customers and, to a lesser
extent, to the closure of certain terminal locations in 2006 and fewer vehicles hauled for Toyota
and Honda as a result of contract revisions.
During the first quarter of 2007, revenue per vehicle delivered decreased by $3.27, or 2.9%, over
the first quarter of 2006, primarily as a result of a decrease in the average distance driven to
deliver a vehicle, the weakening of the Canadian dollar, a decrease in fuel surcharges and other
factors such as customer and vehicle mix. These decreases were partially offset by certain
customer rate increases.
During the first quarter of 2007, the average distance driven to deliver a vehicle, which we refer
to as the average length of haul, decreased 2.8%, or $3.09 per vehicle delivered. A portion of
our revenues is based on the number of miles driven to deliver a vehicle, therefore, a decrease in
the average length of haul decreases 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.
During the first quarter of 2007, the Canadian dollar averaged the equivalent of U.S. $0.8537
compared to U.S. $0.8662 during the first quarter of 2006, which resulted in a decrease in revenues
of approximately $0.6 million. This factor contributed $0.37 to the overall decrease in revenue
per unit of $3.27. However, the effect on operating income was partially offset by a corresponding
decrease in expenses for our Canadian subsidiary related to the currency fluctuation.
During the first quarter of 2007, fuel surcharge revenue per vehicle delivered decreased $0.29, or
4%, compared to the first quarter of 2006. Revenues from our fuel surcharge programs represent
billings to our customers related to
34
the price of fuel in excess of certain levels established with
those customers. 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. Fuel surcharges received from customers vary primarily as a result of the changes in the
average price of fuel and 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. Though fuel
prices in the first quarter of 2007 were higher than fuel prices in the first quarter of 2006, fuel
prices in the fourth quarter of 2006 were approximately 6.5% and 11% lower
than fuel prices in the fourth quarter of 2005 for our U.S. and Canadian operations, respectively.
Future revenues derived from fuel surcharges would be impacted if any customer terminated its fuel
surcharge agreement with us.
During the Chapter 11 Proceedings, we renewed contracts with rate increases with certain of our
major customers and estimate that our revenues increased by
approximately $2.4 million, or $1.42, per
unit in the first quarter of 2007 over the first quarter of 2006 as a result of changes in customer
pricing.
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 revenues were adversely affected by recent
decisions announced by General Motors and Ford to close certain manufacturing plants in the future
and the recent decisions by General Motors, Ford and Chrysler to further reduce production at
several of their 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 months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Salaries, wages and fringe benefits
Salaries,
wages and fringe benefits decreased $25.1 million, or 20.0%, in the first quarter of 2007
compared to the first quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of the following:
|
|
The decrease in the number of vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2007 compared to
the first quarter of 2006, which resulted in a decrease in bargaining wages and benefits of
approximately $18.4 million. 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. |
|
|
|
Lower workers compensation expense of $5.8 million due primarily to the effect of lower
premiums for 2007 coverage and to a lesser extent, favorable development of claims from prior
years of $1.0 million; and |
|
|
|
A reduction in non-bargaining salaries and benefits of $1.3 million due primarily to a 5.9%
reduction in the average number of employees and lower costs for employee medical claims in
the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. |
As a percentage of revenues, salaries, wages and fringe benefits decreased from 52.2% of revenues
in the first quarter of 2006 to 52.1% of revenues in the first quarter of 2007, primarily as a
result of the decrease in workers compensation expense, partially offset by certain fixed cost
components included in salaries, wages and fringe benefits that do not fluctuate directly with
revenues.
35
Operating supplies and expenses
Operating supplies and expenses increased from 20.2% of revenues in the first quarter of 2006 to
22.3% of revenues in the first quarter of 2007. This increase was due primarily to certain fixed
costs included in operating supplies and expenses, such as outsourcing costs related to the
maintenance of our computer equipment and certain other maintenance costs related to our terminal
operations, which are not directly affected by fluctuations in revenue.
Fuel expense increased from 8.6% of our Automotive Groups revenues in the first quarter of 2006 to
9.2% of our Automotive Groups revenues in the first quarter of 2007. For our U.S. operations the
average price of fuel was approximately 1.8% higher in the first quarter of 2007 than the first
quarter of 2006, and for our Canadian operations the average price of fuel was flat quarter over
quarter. The fuel surcharge agreements that we have in place with substantially all of our
customers mitigate, in part, the unfavorable impact on our operating income resulting from
increases in fuel prices. However, due to the lag between when fuel prices change and the time
period when the fuel surcharge is adjusted, there was a net unfavorable impact, net of broker
participation, quarter over quarter of approximately $1.1 million on our operating loss. The
difference between the increase in fuel expense resulting from higher fuel prices and the amount of
fuel surcharge received from customers during any quarter is due to the timing difference described
above in the revenue section.
Overall,
operating supplies and expenses decreased $5.5 million, or 11.4%, in the first quarter of
2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of:
|
|
A decrease of $3.0 million in fuel expense due primarily to the lower number of vehicles
delivered, partially offset by an increase in the average price of fuel. We estimate that the
lower number of vehicles delivered resulted in a reduction in fuel expense of approximately
$3.7 million which was partially offset by approximately $0.7 million due to the increase in
the price of fuel; and |
|
|
|
A decrease of $2.8 million in repairs and maintenance primarily as a result of the lower
number of miles driven to deliver vehicles. |
These decreases were partially offset by an increase in various other general operating supplies
and expenses.
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 are
reimbursed to the owner-operator and recorded in purchased transportation. Purchased transportation
as a percentage of revenues decreased from 12.8% of revenues in the first quarter of 2006 to 11.9%
of revenues in the first quarter of 2007 and purchased transportation expense decreased by $8.0
million, or 25.9%, quarter over quarter. The decrease in purchased transportation expense was due
primarily to a 12.6% reduction in the number of vehicles delivered by owner-operators on our
behalf, as well a decrease of approximately 11.9% in the average length of haul for those vehicle
deliveries. While the Automotive Groups average length of haul decreased only 2.8% in the first
quarter of 2007 over the first quarter of 2006, deliveries over the shorter distance were primarily
made by our owner-operators with our employee drivers making the deliveries over the longer
distance. 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.
Insurance and claims
Insurance and claims expense increased from 4.5% of revenues in the first quarter of 2006 to 4.6%
of revenues in the first quarter of 2007. The actual expense decreased $2.0 million primarily as a
result of the lower expense associated with the lower number of miles driven in the first quarter
of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. As a percentage of revenues, insurance and claims
expense increased due in part to the decrease in revenues associated with the decrease in revenue
per unit, which does not cause insurance and claims expense to vary.
36
Operating taxes and licenses
Operating taxes and licenses primarily represent taxes on fuel purchased for our tractors and
trailers and include license renewal fees. The taxes vary based on fuel purchases while the license
renewal fees are primarily fixed. The actual operating taxes and license expense decreased $1.0
million, primarily as a result of the lower fuel consumption in the first quarter of 2007 compared
to the first quarter of 2006. However, as a percentage of
revenues, operating taxes and licenses increased from 3.2% to 3.5% due to the fixed cost components
that do not fluctuate with revenue.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.6 million from 3.0% of revenues in the first quarter of
2006 to 4.0% of revenues in the first quarter of 2007 due to increases in capital spending in 2006
and the first quarter of 2007. During 2006, capital expenditures were approximately $35.8 million,
an increase of $16.4 million over the amount invested in 2005. For the first quarter of 2007,
capital expenditures were $11.6 million. The majority of our capital expenditures are related to
our fleet of Rigs.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased from $9.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $7.6 million in the
first quarter of 2007. This reduction was primarily a result of the following:
|
|
Lower amortization of deferred financing costs in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the
first quarter of 2006. Primarily as a result of the first quarter 2006 accelerated
amortization of deferred financing costs related to the Original DIP Facility, deferred
financing costs in the first quarter of 2007 were $3.5 million lower than the first quarter of
2006. In March 2006, the amortization period for the deferred financing costs related to the
Original DIP Facility was revised to end on the extended date of the forbearance period, May
18, 2006. Previously, the costs were being amortized through the original maturity date,
February 2, 2007. |
|
|
|
Lower interest of $0.5 million related to insurance financing arrangements as a result of
lower insurance borrowings in 2007 compared to 2006. |
The reductions above were offset by the following:
|
|
A prepayment penalty of $1.1 million, incurred during the first quarter of 2007, in respect
of the Original DIP Facility; |
|
|
|
Lender fees of approximately $0.6 million incurred during the first quarter of 2007,
related to the Original DIP Facility; and |
|
|
|
An increase in the effective interest rate. Average interest rates were approximately 0.95
percentage points higher in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006
resulting in additional interest expense of approximately $0.4 million. |
Investment income
Investment income increased from $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $1.2 million in the
first quarter of 2007 due primarily to an increase in interest rates on time deposits. The
weighted-average interest rate on time deposits was approximately 4.9% during the first quarter of
2007 compared to 4.0% during the first quarter of 2006. The effect was partially offset by the
effect of a decrease of approximately $4.5 million in the average balance of restricted cash, cash
equivalents and other time deposits due to the reduced amount required to collateralize letters of
credit related to insurance liabilities.
37
Reorganization items
Reorganization items represent costs related to the Chapter 11 Proceedings. These costs, which were
flat quarter over quarter, represent primarily legal and professional services rendered in
connection with our Chapter 11 filing. These costs are summarized in Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Item 1. Financial Statements.
Income taxes
In the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, we recognized tax expenses of $195,000 and $127,000,
respectively. The income tax expense in both quarters 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. For
both periods, we recognized tax expenses related to foreign jurisdictions where the valuation
allowance is not required.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and borrowings from our lenders.
We also periodically borrow under insurance financing arrangements to fund our insurance programs.
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, the funding of other
capital purchases, and to pay legal and professional fees 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 carriers. These collateral assets are not available for our
general use in operations. During the Chapter 11 Proceedings, we obtained debtor-in-possession
financing which allowed us to continue to operate in the normal course of business during the
Chapter 11 Proceedings. Funds were available to help satisfy our working capital obligations,
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.
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 the 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 $5.6 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $13.1 million for the first
quarter of 2006, a decrease in operating cash flows of $7.5 million. This decrease in cash from
operating activities was primarily due to the unfavorable operating performance compared to the
prior quarter. Less cash was collected from our customers, partially offset by lower payments for
interest and certain operating expenditures.
Investing Activities
During the first quarter of 2007, we used $10.5 million in investing activities compared to $4.7
million during the first quarter of 2006. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in
capital spending on our fleet. Capital expenditures for the first quarter of 2007 were $11.6
million compared to $6.2 million in the first quarter of 2006, most of which was spent on our fleet
of Rigs. During the first quarter of 2007, we purchased 55 new tractors and 5 new trailers. We
also remanufactured 38 tractors and 53 trailers and replaced approximately 78 engines. During the
first quarter of 2006, we purchased no new tractors or trailers but remanufactured 45 tractors and
70 trailers and replaced approximately 105 engines.
During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an agreement with Yucaipa pursuant to which
Yucaipa would purchase the Blue Thunder Rigs, which were then to be sold to us at cost. The Rig
Financing, which was provided by Yucaipa, was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on April 6, 2007.
The Rig Financing of $15 million was completed prior to the Effective Date and included funds to
retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs, and to pay certain costs and
expenses associated with the purchase, such as registration expenses. The notes under the Rig
Financing bore interest at LIBOR plus 4%, payable in-kind quarterly by addition to principal.
Pursuant to this agreement, we purchased 170 Rigs from Yucaipa during the second quarter of 2007
for
38
$13.5 million and upon our emergence from Chapter 11, the $15.1 million related to the Rig
Financing was converted to equity of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. Of the $15.1 million, $13.5
million represented the purchase cost of the Rigs, $0.3 million was used to pay certain costs
associated with the purchase, $0.1 million represented interest, and the reminder was received by
us to retrofit and make any necessary repairs to the Blue Thunder Rigs. As stipulated in the Rig
Financing agreement, Yucaipa received a percentage of the new equity of Allied Systems Holdings,
Inc., with the numerator equal to the amount owed under the Rig Financing, including interest, and
the denominator equal to $285 million minus debt, exclusive of the Rig Financing, plus cash on the
Effective Date, after giving effect to the Joint Plan.
Financing Activities
Financing activities provided us with $30.8 million during the first quarter of 2007 while we used
$9.5 million in financing activities during the first quarter of 2006. This increase in net cash
flow provided by financing activities was due primarily to the following factors:
|
|
|
Net borrowings under our credit facilities were approximately $40.6 million in the first
quarter of 2007. In the first quarter of 2006, we had net repayments of $1.5 million under
the then revolving credit facility; |
|
|
|
|
During the first quarter of 2007, the repayments under insurance financing arrangements
were $6.6 million lower than the repayments during the first quarter of 2006 since more
premiums were financed for the 2006 coverage; and |
|
|
|
|
In the first quarter of 2007, we paid financing costs of $8.1 million related to the New
DIP Facility, partially offsetting the other increases. |
Debt and Letters of Credit
As more fully discussed in Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Item 1. Financial Statements, in connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, effective May 29,
2007, our New DIP Facility was converted to the Secured Credit Facilities that serve as our exit
financing. The First Lien Facility will mature five years after the Effective Date and the Second
Lien Facility will mature five and a half years after the Effective Date.
Amounts outstanding under the Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at the following annual
rates:
|
|
|
First Lien Term Loan Facility At our option, either the Base Rate (which is equal to
the greater of the prime rate as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal or
the federal funds rate plus one-half of 1%) plus 3.0%, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus
4.0%; |
|
|
|
|
Second Lien Term Loan Facility At our option, either the Base Rate plus 6.5%, or the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 7.5%; and |
|
|
|
|
First Lien Revolver At our option, either the Base Rate plus 1.0%, or the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate plus 2.0%. |
|
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007 we entered into floating-to-fixed
interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest
rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed
rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our Secured Credit Facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50%
of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under
those facilities at the date of the conversion. Future results
of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap
agreements. |
In addition, among the fees we will be charged under the Secured Credit Facilities are the
following: (A) a credit fee pursuant to the Letter of Credit Facility equal to the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate plus 4.15% per annum times the average daily amount deposited by the lenders under
the Letter of Credit Facility; (B) a commitment fee of 1.75% per annum times the daily average
undrawn portion of the First Lien Term Loan Facility; (C) a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum
times the daily average undrawn portion of the First Lien Revolver; and (D) a fronting fee under
the Letter of Credit Facility of 0.55% of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn
under letters of credit issued under the Letter of Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2007, $205
million was outstanding under the term loans. On May 11, 2007, the remaining $25 million was drawn
under the term loan and the excess cash was invested in REPOs. As of September 28, 2007, we had
$32 million available under the First Lien Revolver.
39
As of March 31, 2007, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Secured Credit
Facilities but can provide no assurance that we will be able to comply with these covenants or, if
we fail to do so, that we will be able to obtain amendments or waivers of such covenants.
We also have a Canadian Revolver, which 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 $49.8 million of
outstanding letters of credit discussed below. As of March 31, 2007, $0.4 million was outstanding
on the Canadian Revolver. However, as of September 28, 2007, there were no borrowings on the
Canadian Revolver.
As holders of allowed general unsecured claims, holders of the Senior Notes received new common
stock of Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. on a pro rata basis in exchange for the cancellation of the
debt pursuant to the Joint Plan as of the Effective Date.
We renew our letters of credit annually. At March 31, 2007, we had issued $139.8 million of
outstanding letters of credit to third parties related primarily to the settlement of insurance
liabilities and support for a line of credit at one of our foreign subsidiaries. Of the $139.8
million outstanding at March 31, 2007, $42.0 million of these letters of credit were secured by
availability under the New DIP Revolver and $97.8 million were issued by our wholly owned captive
insurance subsidiary, Haul Insurance Limited, and were collateralized by $97.8 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 First Lien Revolver included in the
Secured Credit Facilities may not exceed $50 million. As of September 28, 2007, we had utilized
$40.0 million of this availability and had $10.0 million available. See Note 11 for a discussion of
the current letter of credit facilities under the Secured Credit Facilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Between January 1, 2007 and September 28, 2007, we entered into no new significant off-balance
sheet arrangements. See our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our off-balance
sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2006.
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, losses related to retained risks 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, our Automotive Group periodically purchases fuel in advance of consumption. A
10% increase in the average price of diesel fuel for the 12 months ended March 31, 2007 would
increase costs by $9.4 million over the next 12 months assuming levels of fuel consumption in the
next 12 months are consistent with levels of fuel consumed during the 12 months ended March 31,
2007. 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. As of March 31, 2007, we had $205.0 million outstanding under the New
DIP Facility subject to variable rates of interest. As discussed previously, the New DIP Facility
was subsequently restructured and converted to exit financing. See Debt and Letters of Credit
above for a discussion of the Secured Credit Facilities
40
interest rates, which remain variable.
Based on the outstanding balance of the New DIP Facility as of March 31,
2007, the impact of a three-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase
in our annual interest expense of approximately $6.2 million.
To mitigate the risk of rising interest rates, in August 2007 we entered into floating-to-fixed
interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $180 million. These interest
rate swap agreements have three-year terms and fix the LIBOR component to a weighted-average fixed
rate of 5.13% during the terms. Our Secured Credit Facilities require us to hedge a minimum of 50%
of the aggregate principal amount of the total indebtedness under
those facilities at the date of the conversion. Future results
of operations could be impacted by unrealized gains or losses related to these interest rate swap
agreements.
Risk Management Retention
As more fully discussed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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 unrelated primary and reinsurance companies (third-party
insurance carriers). 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
third-party insurance carriers for certain types of losses for certain years within our insurance
program, primarily insured workers compensation, automobile and general liability risks. In
states where we are insured for workers compensation claims, the majority of our risk in 2007 and
2006 is covered by a fully insured program with no deductible.
We are also required to provide collateral to our third-party insurance carriers 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 March 31, 2007, was $40.7 million. The
potential impact on other comprehensive income resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in quoted
foreign currency exchange rates approximates $4.1 million.
At March 31, 2007, we had an intercompany payable balance of $46.9 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 $4.7 million charge or credit to the statement of operations. 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
41
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.
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 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, our critical accounting
policies and estimates are discussed in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and we believe that no
material changes have occurred with respect to our critical accounting policies and estimate since
the filing of that report, except for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1,
2007. FIN 48 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. We undertook a comprehensive review of
our tax positions, and the cumulative effect of adopting the provisions of FIN 48 to all tax
positions resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment to accumulated deficit of $1.2 million as of
January 1, 2007. As of the date of adoption, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $7.0
million, and interest and penalties were $0.9 million. Included in the total unrecognized benefits
at January 1, 2007, are $1.4 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect
the effective income tax rates in future periods. For certain uncertain tax positions it is
reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly
within the next twelve months as a result of the effects of our emergence from Chapter 11 or the
settlement of audits that may be initiated.
The determination as to whether a tax position meets the recognition threshold requires significant
judgment as it relates to whether, based on the technical merits, the position would be sustained
upon examination. Additional judgment is required to determine, for those tax positions that meet
the recognition threshold, the amount of tax benefit that can be recognized, which is specified in
FIN 48 as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being
realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant
information. To make those determinations, we consider the facts, circumstances and information
available at the reporting date.
For certain uncertain tax positions it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months as a result of
the effects of our emergence from Chapter 11 or the settlement of audits that may be initiated.

these and other risks is contained in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our
other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 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,
42
estimate, expect, intend, plan, project, target, can,
could, may, should, will, would or 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.

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 13 (c) of the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in
Part 1, Item 1. Financial Statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business is subject to certain risks, including the risks described below. 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 car-haul 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. The risks described below,
as well as the other risks that are generally set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should take such risks into account in evaluating any
investment decision involving our common stock or debt securities.
43
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 March 31, 2007, we had consolidated term debt and borrowings under the New DIP Facility of
approximately $205.0 million. Upon emergence we had $230 million outstanding under the Senior
Secured Credit Facilities. 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. |
|
|
|
|
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 the Secured Credit Facilities place restrictions on us, which create risks of default
and limits our flexibility.
The new Secured Credit Facilities contain 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 the Secured Credit Facilities, and these are
not waived, or we do not adequately service this debt, our lenders could declare a default under
the Secured Credit Facilities. If a default occurs under the Secured Credit Facilities, our lenders
may elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with interest and other fees, to be
immediately due and payable. Borrowings under the Secured Credit Facilities are collateralized with
substantially all of our assets. If we were unable to repay any borrowings under the Secured Credit
Facilities when due, our lenders would have the right to proceed against the collateral granted to
them to secure the debt. Any default under the Secured Credit Facilities, particularly any default
that results 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 and we
may not be able to maintain our current level of terminal operations or customer relationships.
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 2007 through 2010,
which will require a significant increase in our capital spending, from approximately $35.8 million
in 2006 to approximately $66.8 million in 2007 (excluding the Blue Thunder Rigs) and $70 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.
Even if we are able to invest the amounts indicated above each year, we will be operating a
substantial number of Rigs beyond their scheduled replacement or remanufacturing due dates.
Accordingly, Rigs may have to be taken out of service sooner than planned as a result of equipment
failures or the Rigs otherwise reaching the end of their useful
44
lives. We presently have no excess
Rigs to service our existing business or to seek additional business. A large number of Rig
failures 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, we
may be forced to increase repair
and maintenance spending in an effort to maintain the number of Rigs in service. If we are unable
to make planned reinvestments in the fleet because of liquidity or other constraints, or if there
is inadequate manufacturing or remanufacturing capacity when we require it, repairs and maintenance
expense will be adversely impacted.
If we are not able to renegotiate our union contracts on terms favorable to us as they expire, or
if work stoppages or other labor disruptions occur during such negotiations, it could have a
material adverse effect on our operations.
The Joint Plan incorporates modifications to our collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters
in the U.S. The amendment took effect upon the Effective Date and is renewable three years from
that date. We can provide no assurance that we will be able 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 sale of SUVs or light trucks at our major
customers which 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 have the option to minimize the effect of fuel price fluctuations by periodically
purchasing a portion of our fuel in advance, but even if we utilize this option, 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 enables 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 the fuel prices from the applicable
previous period. Therefore, there is a lag between the time fuel prices change and the time that
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 since fuel surcharge rates in any quarter reset at the beginning of the
quarter based on fuel prices in the preceding quarter and are also influenced by our customers
production levels.
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
45
general economic conditions in the U.S and Canada,
unemployment, consumer confidence, fuel prices, 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 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.
Our Automotive Groups business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford,
Chrysler, 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 liabilities recorded.
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 claims above
our retention levels, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain 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 expenses in
subsequent years.
We are also required to provide collateral to our third-party insurance carriers and various states
for losses in respect of worker injuries, accident, theft, and other loss claims. For this
purpose, we utilize cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits and/or letters of credit. 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.
We have a history of losses and may not be able to improve our performance to achieve
profitability.
We reported net losses of $12.6 million, $12.3 million, $125.7 million, $53.9 million, $8.6 million
and $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004,
2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition, our accumulated deficit at March 31, 2007 was $217.7
million. Our ability to improve our performance and profitability is dependent upon several
factors including the timely and successful implementation of the Joint Plan, 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
operations even if needed to fund our operations. |
As of March 31, 2007, our restricted cash, cash equivalents and other time deposits were
approximately $97.8 million. The amount of restricted cash has not changed significantly through
July 31, 2007. We use these restricted cash and investments to collateralize letters of credit
required by third-party insurance carriers. These assets are not available for use in our
operations even if needed for our continued operations or to service our debt obligations.
46
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.
Our Automotive Groups business is highly dependent on its largest customers, General Motors, Ford,
Chrysler, Toyota and Honda. Approximately 88% of our Automotive Groups 2006 revenues were
generated through the services provided to these customers. 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 Chrysler and though the agreement resulted in increased
billing rates, the Automotive Group lost Chryslers 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. The Automotive Group recently reached an agreement
in principle with Ford, which would give Ford the right to use other carriers at certain locations
mutually acceptable to Allied and Ford. 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.
A significant reduction in vehicle production levels, plant closings, or the imposition of vendor
price reductions by these manufacturers, or the loss of General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota or
Honda as customers, 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, Chrysler, 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 non-union 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 vehicle-hauling companies that
utilize non-union labor, and we believe that the market share and Rig capacity represented by such
companies is increasing. Vehicle-hauling companies that utilize non-union labor operate at a
significant cost advantage as compared to our Automotive Group and other unionized vehicle-hauling
companies. Non-union vehicle-hauling 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. We hope to prevent
further deterioration to our market share on the basis of reliability through our experienced
drivers, effective management, productive and service-driven operations, extensive and flexible
distribution network, and management of risk, particularly with respect to cargo claims, worker
injuries and traffic accidents. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to
prevent further loss of our market share through these initiatives.
Our
common stock is not currently listed on a national securities
exchange, and is subject to restrictions on transfer 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.
On the Effective Date, our pre-Chapter 11 common stock was cancelled and new common stock was
issued. These securities are not currently listed on a national
securities exchange, and are subject to restrictions on transfer 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 can provide no assurance that we
will be able to re-list our common stock on a national securities exchange.
We
may terminate our SEC reporting obligations, which could make an
investment in our common stock less liquid.
The
transfer restrictions included in our certificate of incorporation
are designed, in part, to limit our number of shareholders of record
so that we can deregister from our reporting obligations under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), and we currently anticipate that we will terminate our
reporting obligations with the SEC prior to December 2007. If we
terminate our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, it would
likely further reduce any market for our common stock. In addition,
although we will be required to continue to provide certain
information to our shareholders, such information will not be as
detailed as that required under the Exchange Act.
Adverse changes in the foreign business climate, primarily in Canada, could adversely affect our
operations.
47
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. Effective June 1, 2007, we hired a new President and Chief Executive
Officer. 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 than historical Teamster employee retirements or resignations
which could occur as a result of our efforts to seek interim wage relief and modifications to the
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, when necessary.
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 its audits of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December
31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, including reviews of the quarterly periods for those years, KPMG LLP
(KPMG) advised the Audit Committee and management that KPMG had identified deficiencies in our
analysis, evaluation and review process for financial reporting. KPMG informed the Audit Committee
and management that it believed such deficiencies were a material weakness in our internal
control over financial reporting, with respect to our analysis, evaluation and review of financial
information included in our financial reporting.
In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2006, KPMG indicated that they did not identify a material weakness as of December 31, 2006.
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 nor has KPMG audited the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. We will report on our 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 as a result is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns
resulting from human failures. Because of these and other 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.

Item 5. Other Information
On July 10, 2007, the employment agreement with Mr. Joseph Marinelli, a named executive officer,
was terminated. In connection with the termination, we entered into a Severance Agreement and Full
Release (the Severance
Agreement) with Mr. Marinelli. Under the terms of the Severance Agreement, we paid Mr. Marinelli
a lump-sum severance payment in the amount of $225,000, as required under his employment agreement.
As consideration for the severance payment, Mr. Marinelli agreed to waive any claims he may have
against us and agreed to restrictions on his ability to solicit our customers and employees for a
period of one year.
Mr. Marinelli also agreed to make himself available for consultation as required and deemed
necessary by the President and Chief Executive Officer or the Senior Vice-President of Terminal
Operations, to provide information, explanations, review or support, or to serve us in any other
consulting capacity. In consideration for making himself readily available to us during such 30
day period, we agreed to pay him a consulting fee in an amount equal to $10,000, subject to
ordinary and lawful deductions, $5,000 of which was payable 15 days after execution of the
Severance Agreement and $5,000 of which was payable on the 30th day following execution
of the Severance Agreement.
