Roadway Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Note 1--Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended September 13, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Roadway Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. Roadway Corporation (the Company) operates on 13 four-week accounting periods with 12 weeks in each of the first three quarters and 16 weeks in the fourth quarter. The Company completed the required transitional goodwill impairment test under SFAS No. 142 for all reporting units effective June 21, 2003 which did not indicate any impairment. The Company expects to perform the required annual goodwill impairment assessment on a recurring basis at the end of the second quarter each year, or more frequently should any indicators of possible impairment be identified. Roadway recognizes revenue on the date that freight is delivered to the consignee, at which time all services have been rendered. Roadway recognizes revenue on a gross basis since we are the primary obligor in the arrangement, even if we use other transportation service providers who act on our behalf, because we are responsible to the customer for complete and proper shipment, including the risk of physical loss or damage of the goods and cargo claims issues. In addition, we retain all credit risk. Related expenses are recognized as incurred. Note 2--Stock-based compensation In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. The Company has adopted the disclosure provision of SFAS No. 148 as of December 31, 2002. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and SFAS No. 148, the Company has elected to follow APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company has issued stock options for which compensation expense is not recognized in the Company's financial statements because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options was equal to the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. 5

The following table sets forth the impact of stock based compensation had we elected to follow SFAS 123:

Note 3--Pending acquisition of the Company by Yellow Corporation Roadway Corporation announced on July 8, 2003 that a definitive agreement had been signed under which Yellow Corporation would acquire Roadway for approximately $966 million, or $48 per share (based on a fixed exchange ratio and a 60-day average price per share of $24.95 for Yellow common stock in a half cash, half stock transaction). If this transaction proceeds to the ultimate acquisition of Roadway Corporation by Yellow Corporation, Roadway Corporation will no longer exist as a Registrant. Separate disclosure of audited financial statements may be required to satisfy financing requirements by creditors, however, no such reporting requirements have as yet been determined. Note 4--Discontinued operations On December 26, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell Arnold Transportation Services (ATS) to a management group led by the unit's president and a private equity firm, for approximately $55 million, consisting of $47 million in cash and an $8 million note. The ATS business segment was acquired as part of the Company's purchase of Arnold Industries, Inc. (subsequently renamed Roadway Next Day Corporation) in November 2001, but did not fit the Company's strategic focus of being a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier. The transaction was completed on January 23, 2003. The Company recognized a gain of $150,000, net of tax, as a result of this transaction. The Company has reported the ATS results as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements and, unless otherwise stated, the notes to the financial statements for all periods presented exclude the amounts related to this discontinued operation. Note 5--Earnings per Share The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

Twelve Weeks Ended Thirty-six Weeks Ended (Third Quarter) (Three Quarters) Sept 13, 2003 Sept 7, 2002 Sept 13, 2003 Sept 7, 2002 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- (in thousands, except per share data) (Loss) income from: Continuing operations $ (3,401) $ 6,456 $ 11,072 $ 9,219 Discontinued operations -- 480 (155) 1,642 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Net (loss) income $ (3,401) $ 6,936 $ 10,917 $ 10,861 ============= ============= ============= ============= Weighted-average shares for basic earnings per share 19,460 18,478 19,018 18,502 Management incentive stock plans -- 436 20 480 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Weighted-average shares for diluted earnings per share 19,460 18,914 19,038 18,982 ============= ============= ============= ============= Basic (loss) earnings per share from: Continuing operations $ (0.18) $ 0.35 $ 0.58 $ 0.50 Discontinued operations -- 0.03 (0.01) 0.09 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Basic earnings per share $ (0.18) $ 0.38 $ 0.57 $ 0.59 ============= ============= ============= ============= Diluted (loss) earnings per share from: Continuing operations $ (0.18) $ 0.33 $ 0.58 $ 0.48 Discontinued operations -- 0.03 (0.01) 0.09 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Diluted (loss) earnings per share $ (0.18) $ 0.36 $ 0.57 $ 0.57 ============= ============= ============= =============
For all periods presented, there were no stock options or other potentially dilutive securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future that were not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share. 7

Note 6--Segment information The Company provides freight services in two business segments: Roadway Express (Roadway) and New Penn Motor Express (New Penn). The Roadway segment provides long haul, expedited, and regional LTL freight services in North America and offers services to over 100 countries worldwide. The New Penn segment provides regional, next-day ground LTL freight service operating primarily in New England and the Middle Atlantic States. The Company's reportable segments are identified based on differences in products, services, and management structure. Operating income is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision-maker in evaluating segment profit and loss and in allocating resources and evaluating segment performance. Business segment assets consist primarily of customer receivables, net carrier operating property, and goodwill.

Note 8--Goodwill At December 31, 2002 and September 13, 2003, the Company's goodwill included $269 million recorded in connection with our acquisition of Arnold Industries Inc., renamed Roadway Next Day Corporation, on November 30, 2001. The Company initially recognized goodwill in the amount of $254 million at December 31, 2001. The preliminary purchase price allocation between New Penn Motor Express (New Penn) and Arnold Transportation Services (ATS) was expected to be adjusted as estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were finalized during 2002. The preliminary allocation of goodwill was calculated based on the historic book values of assets, liabilities assumed, and an estimated purchase price allocation for the entity. During 2002, various adjustments were made to the preliminary purchase price that included direct acquisition costs, finalization of a third-party appraisal of the assets, an analysis of existing tax liabilities, and the pending sale of ATS. The third-party property appraisal resulted in the write-down of carrier operating property values due to the depressed used equipment market. The final valuation of ATS was based on the sales price of $55 million, negotiated on October 2, 2002 between that unit's president, a private equity firm, and the Company. The price is consistent with actual market valuations from other interested potential purchasers obtained in the fall of 2002. 11

Note 8--Goodwill (continued) No indicator of impairment in the value of ATS existed from the date of purchase through the final sale. There was no change in operational performance during 2002 that would have caused us to modify the value of ATS. Despite declining overall economic market conditions in 2002 compared to 2001, ATS' operating revenue and operating income remained constant. The sale of ATS, while not contemplated at the time of acquisition, was negotiated within one year of the purchase, and was accordingly deemed the most reasonable fair value of the ATS entity. In addition, the allocation of goodwill primarily to New Penn was considered appropriate, as the entity originally sought in the acquisition of Arnold Industries, Inc. was New Penn. The acquisition presented Roadway with a strategic opportunity to build upon and extend its transportation services. New Penn, the less-than-truckload business unit, has historically had one of the lowest (best) operating ratios in the industry. The operating ratio is calculated as operating expenses divided by revenue. The goodwill allocation between the Roadway Next Day Corporation entities at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002 is as follows (in thousands):

New Penn ATS Roadway Next Day Total ------------ ------------ ---------------- ------------ Preliminary $ 187,576 $ 65,956 -- $ 253,532 Final $ 268,894 -- $ 199 $ 269,093
The following table shows all the changes to goodwill during 2002 (in thousands). There have been no changes to goodwill since December 31, 2002. Goodwill, December 31, 2001 $ 253,532 Additional direct transaction costs 998 Net write-down of assets to appraisal value 21,837 Reclassification to intangible assets (5,630) Tax accrual adjustment (1,644) ----------- Goodwill, December 31, 2002 $ 269,093 ===========
Note 9--Intangible assets other than goodwill The following table shows the identifiable intangible assets other than goodwill, and indicates which assets are subject to amortization and the life assigned to them. These assets are recorded on the books of the New Penn segment. The estimated aggregate amortization expense is $654,000 in the next fiscal year and $154,000 in each of the fours years thereafter. As of September 13, 2003:

Note 10--Contingent Matter The Company's former parent, Caliber System, Inc., formerly known as Roadway Services, Inc (which was subsequently acquired by FDX Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of FedEx Corporation), is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for tax years 1994 and 1995 (years prior to the spin-off of the Company). The IRS has proposed substantial adjustments for these tax years for multi-employer pension plan deductions. The IRS is challenging the timing, not the validity of these deductions. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter; however, its former parent intends to vigorously contest these proposed adjustments. Under a tax sharing agreement entered into by the Company and its former parent on January 2, 1996 (the date of the spin-off) the Company is obligated to reimburse the former parent for any additional taxes and interest that relate to the Company's business prior to the spin-off. The amount and timing of such payments is dependent on the ultimate resolution of the former parent's disputes with the IRS and the determination of the nature and extent of the obligations under the tax sharing agreement. On January 16, 2003, the Company made a $14 million payment to its former parent under the tax sharing agreement for taxes and interest related to certain of the proposed adjustments for tax years 1994 and 1995. We estimate the range of the remaining payments that may be due to the former parent to be $0 to $16 million in additional taxes and $0 to $11 million in related interest, net of tax benefit. The Company has established a $16 million deferred tax liability and certain other reserves with respect to these proposed adjustments. There can be no assurance, however, that the amount or timing of any liability of the Company to the former parent will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Note 12--Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries The credit facility borrowings and the senior notes issued in connection with the acquisition of Arnold are secured by a first-priority perfected lien on all of the capital stock of the Company's direct subsidiaries. They are also supported by guarantees provided by all of the Company's material subsidiaries, which are wholly owned. These guarantees are full and unconditional, joint and several. The following condensed consolidating financial statements set forth the Company's balance sheets, statements of income, and statements of cash flows for the same time periods as the financial statements presented in Item 1 above. In the following schedules "Parent Company" refers to Roadway Corporation, "Guarantor Subsidiaries" refers to non-minor domestic subsidiaries, and "Non-guarantor subsidiaries" refers to foreign and minor domestic subsidiaries and "Eliminations" represent the adjustments necessary to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions and (b) eliminate the investments in the Company's subsidiaries.
