NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YRC Worldwide Inc. and Subsidiaries

(Unaudited)

 

1. Description of Business

YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, “the Company”, “we” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. These services include global, national and regional transportation as well as logistics. Our operating subsidiaries include the following:

 

   

YRC National Transportation (“National Transportation”) is a holding company for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in regional, national and international services. National Transportation is comprised of Yellow Transportation and Roadway. These companies each provide for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through regionalized and centralized management and customer facing organizations. National Transportation also includes Reimer Express Lines, a Roadway subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. Approximately 36% of National Transportation shipments are completed in two days or less. In addition to the United States (“U.S.”) and Canada, National Transportation also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.

 

   

YRC Regional Transportation (“Regional Transportation”) is a holding company for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of New Penn Motor Express, USF Holland and USF Reddaway. These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Approximately 90% of Regional Transportation less-than-truckload (“LTL”) shipments are completed in two days or less.

 

   

YRC Logistics plans and coordinates the movement of goods worldwide to provide customers a single source for logistics management solutions. YRC Logistics delivers a wide range of global logistics management services, with the ability to provide customers improved return-on-investment results through flexible, fast and easy-to-implement logistics services and technology management solutions.

 

   

YRC Truckload (“Truckload”) reflects the results of USF Glen Moore, a provider of truckload services throughout the U.S.

At June 30, 2008, approximately 72% of our labor force is subject to various collective bargaining agreements, which predominantly expire in 2013.

 

2. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in non-majority owned affiliates where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for on the equity method. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the consolidated financial statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, all normal recurring adjustments except as otherwise noted, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements herein have been made. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Assets Held for Sale

When we plan to dispose of property by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there

Table of Contents

is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the net book value of assets held for sale was approximately $82.6 million and $26.1 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $3.7 million and $6.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “(Gains) Losses on Property Disposals, Net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. There were no such amounts recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

3. Restructuring and Reorganization

In February 2008, we closed 27 service centers that were previously a part of Regional Transportation’s networks. As a part of this action, we incurred certain restructuring charges of approximately $1.3 million and $12.4 million consisting of employee severance, lease cancellations and other incremental costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

During 2008, we made payments under previous restructuring programs, primarily those charges incurred as a result of the USF Reddaway and USF Bestway combination.

We reassess the reserve accrual under our restructuring efforts at the end of each reporting period. A rollforward of the restructuring accrual is set forth below:

 

(in millions)

   Employee
Separation
    Contract

    Other     Total  

Balance at December 31, 2007

   $ 3.6     $ 2.4     $ —       $ 6.0

Balance at June 30, 2008

   $ 2.8     $ 6.3     $ —       $ 9.1  
                                

In addition to the above restructuring charges of $12.4 million, we incurred reorganization charges of $1.1 million and $2.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. These charges are included in the “Reorganization and settlements” caption in the consolidated statement of operations and consist primarily of employee separation charges at National Transportation due to certain leadership changes as well as reductions in the general employee population.

Senior Credit Facility

On April 18, 2008, we entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of August 17, 2007 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement, as amended (the “Credit Facility”), continues to provide the Company with a $950 million senior revolving credit facility, including sublimits available for borrowings under certain foreign currencies, and a $150 million senior term loan.

Table of Contents

The Credit Agreement Amendment:

 

   

increased, until such time as the Company receives a rating of BBB- or better from Standard & Poor’s and Ba1 or better from Moody’s, in each case with a stable outlook (the “Fall Away Event”), the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) from 3.0x to (i) 3.75x for each of the fiscal quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2008 and (ii) 3.5x for each fiscal quarter thereafter;

 

   

increased the interest rates and fees applicable to the revolving credit facility and term loan as set forth in the definition of “Applicable Rate” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Facility; effective with this amendment, the interest rates under the Credit Facility are correlated to our Credit Ratings; the interest rate on amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loan is LIBOR plus 120 basis points (3.66% at June 30, 2008) and LIBOR plus 150 basis points (3.96% at June 30, 2008), respectively, and the facility fee for the revolving credit facility is 30 basis points;

 

   

required the Company and its domestic subsidiaries to pledge the following collateral (i) receivables not secured by the ABS facility (as defined below) or the Company’s captive insurance companies, (ii) intercompany notes not secured by the ABS facility, (iii) fee-owned real estate parcels that have an estimated internal market value of $2.5 million or greater, (iv) 100% of the stock of all domestic subsidiaries of the Company and (v) 65% of the stock of first-tier foreign subsidiaries of the Company other than the Company’s captive insurance companies;

 

   

requires the Company and its subsidiaries to pledge additional assets, including rolling stock and the remaining real estate if the Total Leverage Ratio exceeds 3.5x at the end of any Test Period (as defined in the Credit Facility) or if the Company receives a rating of BB- or worse from Standard & Poor’s and Ba3 or worse from Moody’s prior to the Fall Away Event as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment;

 

   

required each domestic subsidiary of the Company except for Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation to guarantee the credit facility; and

 

   

modified certain negative covenants (and in certain instances introduces new negative covenants) related to permitted liens, permitted acquisitions, permitted asset sales (and certain related mandatory prepayments from the proceeds thereof) and restricted payments.

Upon the occurrence of the Fall Away Event, (i) security interests in pledged collateral will be released, (ii) all negative covenant provisions (including the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio) and the mandatory prepayment provision will revert to pre-Credit Agreement Amendment levels and concepts and (iii) only material domestic subsidiaries and subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee certain other indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries will remain as guarantors.

Asset-Backed Securitization Facility

On April 18, 2008, we renewed our asset-backed securitization (“ABS”) facility. The renewed facility will expire on April 16, 2009. The renewed facility (i) reduced the financing limit available under the ABS facility from $700 million to $600 million, (ii) reduced the letters of credit sublimit from $325 million to $125 million, (iii) modified the Total Leverage Ratio consistent with the Credit Agreement Amendment described above, (iv) increased the loss and discount reserve requirements and (v) increased the administrative fee (calculated based on financing limit) and program fee (calculated based on utilization) to 50 basis points and 75 basis points, respectively. The interest rate under the ABS facility for conduits continues to be a variable rate based on A1/P1 rated commercial paper with an approximate interest rate of 2.5% at June 30, 2008, plus the program fee. The interest rate for Wachovia Bank, National Association is one-month LIBOR, plus 100 basis points, as Wachovia will no longer use a conduit to purchase receivables under the ABS facility.

The ABS facility utilizes the accounts receivable of the following subsidiaries of the Company: Yellow Transportation, Inc.; Roadway Express, Inc.; USF Holland Inc.; and USF Reddaway Inc. (the “Originators”). Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation (“YRRFC”), a special purpose entity and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, operates the ABS facility. Under the terms of the renewed ABS facility, the Originators may transfer trade receivables to YRRFC, which is designed to isolate the receivables for bankruptcy purposes. A third-party conduit or committed purchaser must purchase from YRRFC an undivided ownership interest in those receivables. The percentage ownership interest in receivables that the conduits or committed purchasers purchase may increase or decrease over time, depending on the characteristics of the receivables, including delinquency rates and debtor concentrations.

In connection with the renewal of the ABS facility, the Company unconditionally guaranteed to YRRFC the full and punctual payment and performance of each of the Originators obligations under the ABS facility. YRRFC has pledged its right, title and interest in the guarantee to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the purchasers, under the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement.

5. Employee Benefits

Curtailment

During the second quarter of 2008, we amended the postretirement healthcare benefit plan that covers certain current and former Roadway employees. This amendment eliminated cost sharing benefits for active employees that retire on or after June 1, 2008, provided for the current cost sharing provisions to retirees to terminate December 31, 2008 and allows retirees to participate in our healthcare programs on a full-cost basis effective January 1, 2009. The curtailment of this plan resulted in a gain of $34.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and is included in “Salaries, wages and employees’ benefits” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Effective July 1, 2008, we curtailed our defined benefit plans that cover approximately 8,000 employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. As a result of this action, future benefit accruals have been frozen effective July 1, 2008. However, employees may achieve early retirement eligibility based on age and continued service. During the third quarter 2008, we have subsequently recognized curtailment gains of approximately $63 million related to the changes to these plans.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

We maintain a long-term incentive and equity award plan implemented in 2004 that provides for the issuance of stock-based compensation to key management personnel. In May 2008, our stockholders approved an amendment to this plan to increase the number of shares of Company common stock available for awards under the plan by 3 million shares (from 3.43 million to 6.43 million) and to eliminate the requirement that shares available for grant under the plan be reduced by two shares for each share to be issued pursuant to “full value awards”, which are restricted stock, share units, performance awards and other stock-based awards. As of June 30, 2008, 2.6 million shares remain available for issuance. The plan permits the issuance of restricted stock and share units, as well as options, SARs, and performance stock and performance stock unit awards. Awards under the plan can be made in cash and share units at the discretion of the Board of Directors. According to the plan provisions, the share units provide the holders the right to receive one share of our common stock upon vesting of one share unit. The plan requires the exercise price of any option equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.

Table of Contents

In May 2008, we granted option awards to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock to approximately 2,200 employees. This one-time grant was made in lieu of a portion of the employees’ bonus opportunity for 2008. The options vest in one-third increments on January 1, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and expire ten years from the date of the grant. The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton pricing model. Expected volatilities are estimated using historical volatility of our common stock. We use historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

We valued the options granted in 2008 using the above described model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

     2008  

Dividend yield

     —   %

Expected volatility

     48.1 %

Risk-free interest rate

     2.7 %

Expected option life (years)

     3.0  

Fair value per option

   $ 6.59  
        

A summary of option activity under the plan as of June 30, 2008, and changes during the six months then ended, is presented in the following table:

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was not material.

 

7. Earnings Per Share

Dilutive securities, consisting of options to purchase our common stock or rights to receive common stock in the future, included in the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares were 894,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 700,000 and 650,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. In addition, dilutive securities related to our net share settle contingent convertible notes were 177,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and 297,000 and 470,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively. Given our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008, there are no dilutive securities for that period.

The impact of certain options and share units were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effects are antidilutive. In addition, the computation of the assumed conversion of the convertible senior notes includes inputs of the year-to-date average stock price relative to the stated conversion price. If this relationship is such that the year-to-date average stock price is less then the stated conversion price, the computed shares would be antidilutive under the treasury stock method.

Antidilutive options and share units were 1,293,000 and 2,418,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and 23,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Antidilutive convertible senior note conversion shares were 14,970,000 and 15,626,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, and 472,000 and 371,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

 

8. Business Segments

We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on adjusted operating income and return on capital.

During the second quarter 2008, we modified our internal reporting process and in turn, reassessed our segment reporting. As a result of this process we now report four operating segments as compared to three segments before the change. The revised segment reporting is reflected throughout this report for all periods presented. Historical amounts are presented in a manner that is consistent with the revised segment reporting.

We have four reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. National Transportation includes carriers that provide comprehensive regional, national and international transportation services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. YRC Logistics provides domestic and international freight forwarding, warehousing, cross-dock services, multi-modal brokerage services and transportation management services. Truckload, our new segment previously included in the Regional Transportation segment, consists of USF Glen Moore, a domestic truckload carrier.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Accounting Policies note to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based on the direct benefits received or as a percentage of revenue. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue relates to transportation services between our segments.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, which revises SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, originally issued in June 2001. SFAS No. 141R will apply to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009, and could have a material impact on us with respect to business combinations completed on or after the effective date. The significant revisions include, but are not limited to the “acquirer” recording 100% of all assets and liabilities, including goodwill, of the acquired business, generally at their fair values, and acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as part of the cost of the acquisition and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. In addition, as of the effective date, reversals of valuation allowances related to acquired deferred tax assets and changes to acquired income tax uncertainties related to any business combinations, even those completed prior to the effective date, will be recognized in earnings, except for qualified measurement period adjustments.

Table of Contents

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 will be effective for our quarterly reporting period ending March 31, 2009 and could have a material impact on us to the extent we enter into an arrangement after the effective date of the standard where we are required to consolidate a noncontrolling interest. If such an event occurs, we will report the non-controlling interest’s equity as a component of our equity in our consolidated balance sheet, we will report the component of net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest separately and changes in ownership interests will be treated as equity transactions. Upon a loss of control, any gain or loss on the interest sold will be recognized in earnings.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, for financial assets and financial liabilities. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Company will delay application of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, until January 1, 2009. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Certain non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include reporting units measured at fair value in the first step of a goodwill impairment test. Certain non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities measured at fair value in the second step of a goodwill impairment test, as well as intangible assets and other non-financial long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessment. As stated above, SFAS No. 157 will be applicable to these fair value measurements beginning January 1, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement).” This FSP clarifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The FSP is effective for our financial statements beginning January 1, 2009, and early adoption is not permitted. This FSP is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We are still evaluating the impact of this FSP and currently believe that the adoption of this standard will result in higher interest expense and lower earnings per share beginning in 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. This standard reorganizes the GAAP hierarchy in order to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for determining what accounting principles should be used when preparing U.S. GAAP financial statements. SFAS 162 shall be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to Interim Auditing Standard, AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, this new standard may have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd.

In December 2007, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire majority ownership of Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd., a Shanghai, China ground transportation company. Pursuant to the definitive agreement, YRC Logistics will acquire 65% of the stock of Jiayu for Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) 237.4 million plus an additional payment of CNY 79.2 million (approximately $45 million) based upon Jiayu’s 2007 financial performance. If Jiayu meets certain financial performance targets during 2008 and 2009, YRC Logistics will purchase the remaining 35% interest in 2010 for an amount not to exceed CNY 248.0 million (approximately $32 million), as determined by the level of the financial performance. If Jiayu does not meet these financial targets, YRC Logistics has a call option to purchase the remaining 35% of the shares of Jiayu in 2010 for the greater of CNY 77.5 million (approximately $10 million) and 35% of the appraised value of the net assets of Jiayu at that time. All payments will be made in Chinese Yuan, and their estimated U.S. dollar equivalents are provided herein. The acquisition is subject to Chinese regulatory approvals, restructuring of certain of Jiayu’s operations and other ordinary conditions to closing. We are capitalizing transaction costs incurred related to this acquisition, the balance of which is not significant at June 30, 2008.

Class Action Lawsuit

On July 30, 2007, Farm Water Technological Services, Inc. d/b/a Water Tech, and C.B.J.T. d/b/a Agricultural Supply, on behalf of themselves and other plaintiffs, filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and 10 other companies engaged in the LTL trucking business in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. Since that time, other plaintiffs have filed similar cases in various courts across the nation. In December 2007, the courts consolidated these cases in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants, including the Company, conspired to fix fuel surcharges in violation of federal antitrust law and seek unspecified treble damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation. The Company believes that its fuel surcharge practices are lawful and these suits are without factual basis or legal merit. An appropriate defense has begun, and the Company intends to defend these allegations vigorously. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint in May 2008. The defendants, including the Company, have filed in July 2008, a motion to dismiss the complaint. Given that the actions are at a very preliminary stage, the Company is not able to determine that any potential liability that might result is probable or estimable and, therefore, the Company has not recorded a liability related to the actions. If an adverse outcome were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

12. Guarantees of the Contingent Convertible Senior Notes

In August 2003, YRC Worldwide issued 5.0% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In November 2003, we issued 3.375% contingent convertible senior notes due 2023. In December 2004, we completed exchange offers pursuant to which holders of the contingent convertible senior notes could exchange their notes for an equal amount of new net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. Substantially all notes were exchanged as part of the exchange offers. In connection with the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes, the following 100% owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes: Yellow Transportation, Inc., YRC Worldwide Technologies, Inc., YRC Logistics, Inc., YRC Logistics Global, LLC, Globe.com Lines, Inc., Roadway LLC, Roadway Next Day Corporation, and Roadway Express, Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 with respect to the financial position and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for the statements of cash flows of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries. The Parent column presents the financial information of YRC Worldwide, the primary obligor of the contingent convertible senior notes. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the net share settled contingent convertible senior notes. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABS agreement.

13. Guarantees of the Senior Notes Due 2008

In connection with the senior notes due 2008 that the Company assumed by virtue of the Roadway merger agreement, and in addition to the primary obligor, Roadway LLC, YRC Worldwide and its following 100% owned subsidiaries have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the senior notes due 2008: Roadway Next Day Corporation, New Penn Motor Express, Inc., Roadway Express, Inc., Roadway Reverse Logistics, Inc. and Roadway Express International, Inc. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor subsidiary to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 with respect to the financial position, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for cash flows. The primary obligor column presents the financial information of Roadway LLC. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the senior notes due 2008 including YRC Worldwide, the holding company. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABS agreement.

14. Guarantees of the Senior Notes Due 2009 and 2010

In connection with the senior notes due 2009 and 2010 that the Company assumed by virtue of its merger with USF, and in addition to the primary obligor, Regional Transportation (formerly USF Corporation), YRC Worldwide and its following 100% owned subsidiaries have issued guarantees in favor of the holders of the senior notes due 2009 and 2010: USF Sales Corporation, USF Holland Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Glen Moore Inc., YRC Logistics Services (formerly Meridian IQ Services Inc.), and IMUA Handling Corporation. Each of the guarantees is full and unconditional and joint and several.

The condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures of the subsidiary guarantors and issuer because management does not believe that such separate financial statements and related disclosures would be material to investors. There are currently no significant restrictions on the ability of YRC Worldwide or any guarantor subsidiary to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

The following represents condensed consolidating financial information of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 with respect to the financial position and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for results of operations and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 for the statement of cash flows. The primary obligor column presents the financial information of Regional Transportation. The Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all guarantor subsidiaries of the senior notes due 2009 and 2010 including YRC Worldwide, the holding company. The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column presents the financial information of all non-guarantor subsidiaries, including those subsidiaries that are governed by foreign laws and Yellow Roadway Receivables Funding Corporation, the special-purpose entity that is associated with our ABS agreement.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide”, the “Company”, “we” or “our”). MD&A and certain statements in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (each a “forward-looking statement”). Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or include the words “should,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate” or similar expressions. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including (without limitation), inflation, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, sudden changes in the cost of fuel or the index upon which the Company bases its fuel surcharge, competitor pricing activity, expense volatility, including (without limitation) expense volatility due to changes in rail service or pricing for rail service, ability to capture cost reductions, including (without limitation) those cost reduction opportunities arising from acquisitions, changes in equity and debt markets, a downturn in general or regional economic activity, effects of a terrorist attack, and labor relations, including (without limitation), the impact of work rules, work stoppages, strikes or other disruptions, any obligations to multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans, wage requirements and employee satisfaction and the risk factors that are from time to time included in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Results of Operations

This section focuses on the highlights and significant items that impacted our operating results during the second quarter. We have presented a discussion regarding the operating results of each of our four operating segments: National Transportation, Regional Transportation, YRC Logistics and Truckload.

Prior to the second quarter of 2008, our Truckload results, consisting of USF Glen Moore, were included in the Regional Transportation segment as a significant portion of USF Glen Moore’s revenue was related to moving shipments between Regional Transportation less-than-truckload (“LTL”) sister companies. Beginning in the second quarter 2008, our focus has shifted to providing more comprehensive truckload capabilities directly to shippers as well as providing those services to all YRC Worldwide companies. As a result, we have presented Truckload as a separate segment. Historical amounts are presented in a manner that is consistent with the revised segment reporting.

Overview

During the fourth quarter of 2007, we performed our annual impairment review relative to goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets (principally trade names) and concluded that impairment charges were required. Our process of determining fair values included considering inputs such as actual operating performance, current market conditions and our market capitalization and, making assumptions regarding future performance and market conditions among others. During the first half of 2008, our operating performance has continued to decline as compared to prior year and our share price and market capitalization remains depressed as compared to book value. However, we believe that these economic conditions are not materially different then those assumed as a part of our 2007 impairment analysis. Additionally, despite reporting a loss for the first three months of 2008 our operating income is positive for the six month period and we are experiencing favorable sequential improvements within 2008.

Currently, we believe that no new indicators of possible impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets exist that would require us to initiate an impairment review. However, we continuously monitor the various business, legal and economic indicators of possible impairment, which requires a significant amount of judgment. These indicators may include, continued significant decline in our share price and market capitalization; a decline in our expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition or change in market share; the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group within a reporting unit; and slower growth rates, among others. Any significant adverse changes to these indicators could have a significant impact on the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007

Our consolidated operating revenue decreased slightly during the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in 2007 primarily due to continued weak economic conditions in the United States and the resulting competitive operating environment. In general, pricing or yield increased modestly while overall volumes were down compared to the comparable prior year quarter. The decline in our 2008 operating revenue is also reflective of the closure of 27 service centers in Regional Transportation’s networks offset by increased fuel surcharge revenue.

Consolidated operating revenue includes fuel surcharge revenue. Fuel surcharges are common throughout our industry and represent an amount that we charge to customers that adjusts with changing fuel prices. We base our fuel surcharges on a published national index and adjust them weekly. Rapid material changes in the index or our cost of fuel can positively or negatively impact our revenue and operating income versus prior periods as there is a lag in the Company’s adjustment of base rates in response to changes in fuel surcharge. Fuel surcharge is an accepted and important component of the overall pricing of our services to our customers. Without an industry accepted fuel surcharge program, our base pricing for our transportation services would require changes. We believe the distinction between base rates and fuel surcharge has been blurring over time, and it is impractical to clearly separate all the different factors that influence the price that our customers are willing to pay. In general, under our present fuel surcharge program, we believe rising fuel costs are beneficial to us in the short term. However, as fuel prices reached record highs during the first half of 2008, we experienced a higher percentage of customers whose increased fuel surcharge revenue does not recover our increased fuel costs.

Consolidated operating income decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 2007 and is reflective of decreased operating revenue at Regional Transportation. This revenue reduction impacted our ability to cover our fixed costs and resulted in a significant decline in operating income in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007. Additionally, despite the slight decline in revenue for our National Transportation segment, this segment experienced a much greater decline in operating income during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decline in consolidated operating income in 2008 is attributable to higher fuel costs in our National Transportation and our Regional Transportation segments as well as a challenging economy and tough competitive environment. These declines were partially offset by a $34.5 million curtailment gain, included in “Salaries, wages and employees’ benefits” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations, related to the elimination of postretirement healthcare benefits for certain current and retired Roadway employees.

Our consolidated operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 included reorganization charges of $2.4 million resulting primarily from additional restructuring charges incurred at our Regional Transportation segment related to the service center closures mentioned above. The reorganization charges also included severance costs related to changes in the sales organization as we merge existing sales teams into a corporate sales group and changes at certain terminals as we optimize our network in our National Transportation segment. Gains and losses on property disposals also impact our operating income. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized losses on the disposition and fair value adjustments of property held for sale of $3.1 million as compared to gains on dispositions of $2.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Nonoperating expenses consist primarily of interest expense, which decreased $3.7 million from 2007 due primarily to overall reduced borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in 2007. Lower debt outstanding resulted in a $2.6 million reduction in interest expense in the second quarter of 2008 versus the comparable prior period. We also incurred less interest related to the USF Red Star multi-employer pension plans of $0.6 million and less interest of $0.5 million related to income tax positions. Nonoperating expenses also include interest income and the effects of foreign currency gains, which increased $3.6 million from prior year.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was 34.1% compared to 34.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Items impacting the 2008 and 2007 rate include a benefit associated with an alternative fuel tax credit partially offset by the effect of certain permanent items.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007

Consolidated operating revenue decreased by $183.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007, which is reflective of decreased revenue at all of our operating companies with the exception of YRC Logistics whose revenue was consistent with the same period in 2007. We believe the general economy continues to be soft, especially in the tangible goods sector, which directly impacts our ability to grow operating revenue. The decreased operating revenue is a result of lower volumes across the operating companies offset slightly by improved pricing and increased fuel surcharge revenue.

Consolidated operating income decreased by $111.0 million or 86.2% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in consolidated operating income was a result of reduced operating revenue and challenging economic conditions as previously discussed. Additionally the decline in consolidated operating income is attributable to higher fuel costs in both our National Transportation and our Regional Transportation segments. These declines were partially offset by a $34.5 million curtailment gain related to the elimination of postretirement healthcare benefits for certain current and retired Roadway employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2008 our operating income improved sequentially in part due to routine seasonal trends and in part due to targeted cost control initiatives at all of our operating companies. These initiatives will continue to be necessary given the volatility in the domestic markets and the overall tepid consumer spending patterns.

Our consolidated operating income during the first half of 2008 was also unfavorably impacted by $15.2 million of reorganization charges. During the first quarter of 2008, we closed 27 service centers in Regional Transportation’s networks. These closures contributed to approximately $12.4 million of the reorganization charges. Regional Transportation has been challenged by the difficult economic conditions, especially in the industrial sector in the Upper Midwest, which has significantly impacted volumes and, operational difficulties associated with the combination of USF Reddaway and USF Bestway in 2007. During the second quarter of 2008, the benefits of these closures began to materialize, especially within the footprint changes related to the combined USF Reddaway and USF Bestway area and the Regional Transportation operating results improved sequentially within the quarter. In addition, we incurred severance charges during the second quarter of 2008 of approximately $2.8 million resulting from continued realignment of our operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized losses on the sale of property and equipment and the fair value adjustments of property held for sale of $6.5 million compared to losses of $0.2 million on the sale of property and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Nonoperating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $9.3 million from the six months ended June 30, 2007. Lower borrowings in 2008 resulting in decreased interest expense of $4.6 million verses 2007. The 2008 period also reflects decreased interest related to the USF Red Star multi-employer pension plans of $1.4 million offset by additional interest expense of $0.9 million related to income tax items. Nonoperating expenses also included interest income and the effects of foreign currency gains, which increased $3.7 million from 2007.

Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was 36.1% compared to 34.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Items impacting the 2008 rate include a benefit associated with an alternative fuel tax credit partially offset by the effect of certain permanent items. The 2007 rate also included a benefit related to an alternative fuel tax credit for both 2007 and 2006.

National Transportation Results

National Transportation represented approximately 71% and 69% of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, and approximately 70% and 69% of our consolidated revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007

National Transportation reported second quarter 2008 operating revenue of $1,692.8 million, representing a decrease of $10.7 million or 0.6% from the second quarter of 2007. The two primary components of operating revenue are volume, comprised of the number of shipments and the weight per shipment, and price, usually evaluated on a per hundred weight basis for less-than-truckload (“LTL”) business. The decline in operating revenue was largely driven by a 9.9% decline in LTL picked up tonnage per day. The tonnage decline is the result of a weak economy. As the economy has weakened, capacity has become more readily available and competition for available shipments has increased. The decline in LTL picked up tonnage per day was made up of a 10.2% decline in LTL shipments per day and a 0.4% increase in LTL weight per shipment.

The decline in LTL tonnage per day was partially offset by an 8.2% increase in LTL revenue per hundred weight. The increase in LTL revenue per hundred weight was the result of a modest increase in pricing and higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with substantially higher diesel fuel prices in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the prior year quarter.

Operating income for National Transportation was $74.6 million in the second quarter of 2008 representing a decline of $18.2 million or 19.6% compared to the prior year quarter. Revenue was lower by $10.7 million while total operating costs increased by $7.5 million. The cost increase consisted of higher operating expenses and supplies of $56.1 million (primarily higher fuel costs), higher purchased transportation costs of $22.6 million, higher property disposal losses of $8.2 million and higher other operating expenses of $3.1 million. These increases were mostly offset by lower salaries, wages and benefits of $84.6 million. A more detailed discussion of each change follows.

Fuel and oil costs are a major component of operating expenses and supplies and were 49.1% higher than the prior year quarter due mostly to a substantial increase in the cost of diesel fuel. The diesel fuel index, a measure of average diesel costs across the nation, continued to rise throughout the quarter and was at record levels in June 2008. As discussed, our fuel surcharge revenue program serves to mitigate the effect of these increases on our overall operating performance.

Purchased transportation was higher due primarily to a change in administering certain intercompany transactions. Effective July 2007, we began recording both revenue and intercompany expense, primarily purchased transportation, for transactions YRC Logistics serviced that we otherwise could not service within our network. We also pay a transaction fee to YRC Logistics that is included in purchased transportation. Previously, YRC Logistics recorded the revenue and purchased transportation. This change does not affect the consolidated financial statements of YRC Worldwide.

The loss on disposal of property was $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a gain of $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2007. While the effects of real estate sales are not generally consistent from period to period, the occurrence of these transactions are considered routine as we continually seek to optimize our holdings.

The increase in other operating expenses is due primarily to higher bodily injury and property damage claims of $8.1 million related to a serious accident as well as unfavorable development of prior year claims. Cargo claims expense was lower than the prior year quarter by $3.4 million or 15.5% due to a lower number of shipments as well as an improving trend in claim frequency during the quarter as compared to the prior year. The improvement in claim frequency was partially offset by an increase in the cost per claim paid during the current year quarter when compared to the prior year.

The decline in salaries, wages and benefits was due partly to a decline in hourly wages and benefits of $43.8 million or 5.3% and was due to lower volume partially offset by the annual contractual wage and benefit increases that went into effect April 1, 2008. Additionally, salary and benefits includes a gain of $34.5 million associated with a curtailment of the Roadway post retirement medical plan. Headcount reductions have also contributed to lower wages and benefits.

The decline in revenue without a comparable decline in costs resulted in an operating ratio of 95.6 for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of 1.0 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2007. Operating ratio refers to a common industry measurement calculated by dividing a company’s operating expenses by its operating revenue.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007

National Transportation revenue decreased $59.2 million or 1.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in 2007. With the same number of workdays in both periods, the decline in operating revenue was largely driven by a 9.1% decline in total picked up tonnage, with truckload tonnage down 7.6% and LTL tonnage down 9.4%. As discussed in the quarterly results, these tonnage declines are primarily the result of a slowing economy. Additionally, we believe certain customers diverted some shipments to nonunion carriers while we were finalizing our new contract with the union in early 2008. The decline in LTL tonnage was made up of a 9.5% decrease in LTL shipments and a 0.1% increase in LTL weight per shipment. The decline in shipments and weight was mostly offset by an increase of 7.3% in LTL revenue per hundred weight resulting from higher fuel surcharge revenue.

Table of Contents

Operating income for National Transportation decreased $58.6 million or 46.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decrease was primarily a result of lower revenue of $59.2 million, higher operating expenses and supplies of $101.2 million and higher purchased transportation of $34.0 million, partially offset by lower salary, wages and benefits of $142.3 million.

Operating expenses and supplies were higher due mostly to the increase in fuel costs during the first half of the year. In the first six month of 2008, fuel and oil costs were 42.4% higher than the comparable period in the prior year.

Purchased transportation was higher due mostly to a change in administering certain intercompany transactions as discussed above.

Other operating expenses were slightly higher due to an $8.5 million increase in bodily injury and property damage claims as discussed above mostly offset by a $7.1 million or 15.5% decline in cargo claims.

The decline in salaries, wages and benefits was due mostly to lower hourly wages and benefits of $88.9 million and lower salaries and benefits of $56.6 million. Hourly wages and benefits declined as a result of lower volume but were partially offset by contractual wage and benefit increases effective April 1, 2008. Salaries and benefits included a curtailment gain of $34.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 and headcount reductions as discussed above.

The loss on disposal of property was $4.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a gain of $4.4 million in the comparable prior year period.

The combination of the management structures of Yellow Transportation and Roadway to form National Transportation in the first quarter of 2007 resulted in reorganization costs, primarily severance, of $6.1 million. During the first six months of 2008, severance costs associated with headcount reductions including certain management changes were $2.1 million.

Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased for the first six months of 2008 by 1.7 percentage points compared to the first six months of 2007, resulting in a year-to-date 2008 operating ratio of 97.9.

Regional Transportation Results

Regional Transportation represented approximately 22% and 24% of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, respectively, and approximately 23% and 24% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $533.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $70.6 million, or 11.7% from the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The decreased operating revenue was driven by lower business volumes, partially offset by improved pricing including improved fuel surcharge revenue. Total shipments were down 16.1%, or 16.8% per day, with LTL and truckload shipments down similar amounts. Total weight per shipment was 0.6% higher than last year, although LTL weight per shipment was down 0.9% compared to last year. Shipment volumes were negatively impacted by a continued weak economy and the closure of six service centers at USF Holland and 21 service centers at USF Reddaway in mid-February.

 

35


Table of Contents

LTL revenue per hundred weight increased 6.1% in the second quarter 2008 as compared to the second quarter 2007, primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices. Additionally, a meaningful portion of our regional footprint is concentrated in the Upper Midwest where business levels and pricing negotiations have been especially difficult due to the economic challenges in this geographic area.

Operating income for Regional Transportation was $2.1 million, a decrease of $13.5 million from the second quarter of 2007, consisting of a $70.6 million decline in revenue and a $57.1 million decrease in operating expenses. While the overall results are modest, Regional Transportation’s operating income experienced sequential improvement during the quarter. Regional Transportation has reduced most operating expenses in proportion to lower business volumes. Expense decreases during the second quarter of 2008 compared to the second quarter of 2007 were in salaries, wages and benefits of $51.8 million, purchased transportation of $5.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.4 million, other operating expenses of $9.7 million and gains/losses on property disposals of $1.0 million. Expense increases during the second quarter of 2008 were in operating expenses and supplies of $9.8 million and reorganizations and settlements of $1.5 million.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense decreased almost 14% reflecting lower business volumes, improved productivity and lower salaried headcount. Purchased transportation was lower by 18% due to lower business volumes and the in-sourcing of certain linehaul transportation from third-party providers. Depreciation was lower due to a slightly smaller equipment fleet, mostly offset by the impact of newer equipment. Other operating expenses were lower in the areas of operating taxes, licenses and insurance primarily due to lower business volumes. Bodily injury and property damage costs were also lower primarily due to a $4.0 million accrual for a serious accident in the second quarter of 2007. Property disposals resulted in a gain of $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to a loss of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2007.

Operating expenses and supplies were higher in the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to higher fuel costs, partially offset by lower maintenance, facility, travel and uncollectible revenue costs as a result of lower business volumes and effective cost management. The effects of our terminal closures in early 2008 also contributed to these reductions. Reorganization costs were $1.5 million higher in the second quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007 and represent additional facility and employee severance costs from the closure of service centers at USF Holland and USF Reddaway during mid-February 2008.

The operating ratio was 99.6 for the second quarter of 2008, or 2.2 percentage points higher than the prior year.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007

Regional Transportation reported operating revenue of $1,046.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $109.7 million, or 9.5% from the six months ended June 30, 2007. The decreased operating revenue was driven by lower business volumes, partially offset by improved pricing. Total shipments were down 14.1%, or 13.4% per day, with LTL and truckload shipments down similar amounts. Total weight per shipment was flat compared to last year, although LTL weight per shipment was down 0.6% compared to last year. Shipment volumes were negatively impacted by a continued weak economy and the closure of service centers as discussed above.

LTL revenue per hundred weight increased 5.7% in the first half 2008 as compared to the first half 2007, primarily due to higher fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices. Additionally, a meaningful portion of our regional footprint is concentrated in the Upper Midwest where pricing negotiations have been especially difficult due to the economic challenges in this geographic area.

The operating loss for Regional Transportation was $35.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, versus operating income of $10.2 million for the first six months of 2007, resulting from a $109.7 million decline in revenue and a $64.0 million decrease in operating expenses. Regional Transportation has reduced most operating expenses in proportion to lower business volumes. Expense decreases in the first half of 2008 were in salaries, wages and benefits of $71.1 million, purchased transportation of $8.5 million and other operating expenses of $9.2 million. Expense increases in the first half of 2008 were in operating expenses and supplies of $17.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.2 million, losses on property disposals of $0.6 million and reorganizations and settlements of $7.1 million.

Salaries, wages and benefits expense decreased almost 10% reflecting lower business volumes, improved productivity and lower salaried headcount. Workers’ compensation costs were higher mostly due to favorable actuarial adjustments of $4.9 million in the first half of 2007. Purchased transportation was lower due to lower business volumes, the in-sourcing of certain linehaul transportation from third-party providers and lower equipment rents. Other operating expenses were lower in the areas of operating taxes, licenses and insurance primarily due to lower business volumes. The effects of our service center closures in early 2008 also contributed to these reductions.

Table of Contents

Operating expenses and supplies were higher primarily due to higher fuel costs and flat maintenance costs, partially offset by lower facility, travel and uncollectible revenue costs as a result of lower business volumes and effective cost management. Depreciation was higher due to the impact of newer equipment. Losses on property disposals were higher due to increased net losses on equipment sales as we attempt to balance our fleet size to the reduced volumes and our reduced footprint resulting from the discussed terminal closures. Reorganization costs were higher in 2008 due to the overall size and amount of impacted facilities and employees for the relative reorganizations in each year.

The operating ratio was 103.4 for the first half of 2008, or 4.3 percentage points higher than the prior year.

YRC Logistics Results

YRC Logistics represented approximately 6% of our consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2008 and 2007 and approximately 6% in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The table below provides summary financial information for YRC Logistics for the three and six months ended June 30:

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007

In the second quarter of 2008, YRC Logistics revenue increased by $1.6 million or 1.0% compared to the same period in 2007. Revenue and expense associated with the fulfillment of certain of National Transportation’s domestic forwarding business line were recorded within the National Transportation segment effective July 2007. Previously, the YRC Logistics segment recorded such revenue and related expense. The transfer of this revenue resulted in a decrease of revenue of $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 with minimal impact on operating income as reduced purchased transportation related to this business was offset by increased purchased transportation in our transportation services group. Excluding this revenue, YRC Logistics revenue increased by $14.8 million or 9.4% driven by increased volumes in transportation services and global services.

Operating income increased by $0.4 million from $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 2008. During the three months ended June 30, 2008, increases in fuel cost of $0.9 million and additional provision for uncollectible accounts of $1.6 million were offset by reduced restructuring and severance charges of $2.3 million as compared to the second quarter of 2007. The improvements in operating results were driven by increased volumes and improved gross margins in the transportation services group.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007

In the first half of 2008, YRC Logistics revenue increased by $1.7 million or 0.5% from the first half of 2007. Revenue and expense associated with the fulfillment of certain of National Transportation’s domestic forwarding were transferred to National Transportation effective July 2007. The transfer of this revenue resulted in a decrease of revenue of $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 with minimal impact on operating income. Excluding this revenue, YRC Logistics revenue increased by $26.4 million or 8.6% driven by increased volumes in transportation services and global services.

Operating income increased from $0.4 million in the first half of 2007 to $0.8 million in the first half of 2008, resulting from improvements in volumes and gross margins within the transportation services group. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, cost increases as compared to the prior period were incurred in fuel costs of $2.2 million, provision for uncollectible accounts of $1.4 million and salaries of $3.3 million. Offsetting these amounts in 2008 were reductions in purchased transportation of $1.6 million, advertising of $1.3 million, worker’s compensation of $0.6 million and miscellaneous office supplies of $0.5 million. Further, the 2007 period included $2.7 million for restructuring, severance and rebranding while the 2008 period includes $0.3 million for similar items.

Three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to three months ended June 30, 2007

YRC Truckload reported operating revenue of $31.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, representing an increase of $0.8 million or 2.5% from the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The two primary components of truckload operating revenue are volume, comprised of the miles driven, and price, usually evaluated on a revenue per mile basis. Total miles driven were down 6.6% in the second quarter 2008 as compared to the second quarter 2007 due primarily to the soft economy and the absence of a certain customer in 2008. Revenue per mile was up 9.8%, primarily due to increased fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices.

The operating loss from the second quarter of 2008 was $3.9 million, as compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million from the second quarter of 2007, consisting of a $0.8 million increase in revenue and a $3.9 million increase in operating expenses. Fuel expense was up $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to higher diesel prices, partially offset by fewer miles driven. Depreciation was $0.2 million higher in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to the impact of newer equipment. Loss on property disposals was $0.5 million lower in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The net of all other operating expenses increased $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 representing higher driver recruitment costs, mostly offset by lower business volumes. Truckload is expanding the number of driver teams to accommodate the needs of the YRC Worldwide operating companies as they convert increasingly expensive rail miles to more reliable road service.

The operating ratio was 112.5 for the second quarter of 2008, or 9.9 percentage points higher than the prior year.

Six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to six months ended June 30, 2007

YRC Truckload reported operating revenue of $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, representing a decrease of $4.2 million or 6.9% from the six months ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to the soft economy and the loss of a certain customer in 2008. Total miles driven were down 11.9% in the first six months of 2008 as compared to the first six months of 2007. Revenue per mile was up 5.6%, primarily due to increased fuel surcharge revenue associated with higher diesel fuel prices.

The operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $9.0 million, as compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million for the first six months of 2007, consisting of a $4.2 million decrease in revenue and a $4.3 million increase in operating expenses. Fuel expense was up $5.5 million due to higher diesel prices, partially offset by fewer miles driven. Depreciation was $0.9 million higher in the first half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 due to the impact of newer equipment. Loss on property disposals was $1.1 million lower in the first half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The net of all other operating expenses decreased $1.0 million in the first half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 representing lower wage and benefit costs and lower purchased transportation costs as a result of lower business volumes, partly offset by higher driver recruitment costs and higher bodily injury and property damage costs.

The operating ratio was 115.8 for the first half of 2008, or 15.1 percentage points higher than the prior year.

Financial Condition

Liquidity

Our liquidity needs arise primarily from capital investment in new equipment, land and structures and information technology, as well as funding working capital requirements and acquisitions. On April 18, 2008, we amended our Credit Agreement dated August 17, 2007. The Credit Agreement, as amended, continues to provide us with a $950 million senior revolving credit facility including sublimits available for borrowings under certain foreign currencies, and a $150 million senior term loan. The Credit Agreement amendment includes a change to the required leverage ratio, increased pricing, security requirements, additional subsidiary guarantees and certain negative covenants as more fully described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect interest expense to increase approximately $4.0 million annually with this amendment.

On April 18, 2008, we also renewed our ABS facility. The renewed facility will expire on April 16, 2009, at which time we intend and expect to renew the facility for an additional year. The renewed facility reduces the financing limit available under the ABS facility from $700 million to $600 million, reduces the letters of credit sublimit from $325 million to $125 million, and modifies certain covenants and pricing as more fully described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect interest expense to increase up to $4.0 million annually with this renewal. The ABS facility utilizes the accounts receivable of the following subsidiaries of the Company: Yellow Transportation, Inc.; Roadway Express, Inc.; USF Holland Inc.; and USF Reddaway Inc.

The Company’s expectations regarding its interest expense are only its expectations regarding this expense. Actual interest expense could differ based on a number of factors, including (among others) the Company’s revenue and profitability results and the factors that affect revenue and profitability results (including the risk factors described in the first paragraph of Item 2 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), the Company’s credit ratings, the amount and character of, and the interest rate on, the Company’s outstanding debt and any financings the Company may enter into in the future.

The following table provides details of the outstanding components and available unused capacity under the Credit Agreement and ABS facility at each period end:

 

(in millions)

   June 30,
2008
    December 31,
2007
 

Capacity:

    

Revolving loan

   $ 950.0     $ 950.0  

ABS facility

     600.0       700.0  
                

Total capacity

     1,550.0       1,650.0  
                

Amounts outstanding:

    

Revolving loan

     (11.0 )     (5.1 )

Letters of credit

     (457.1 )     (473.2 )

ABS facility

     (140.0 )     (180.0 )

ABS usage for captive insurance company (see below)

     (245.0 )     (201.4 )
                

Total outstanding

     (853.1 )     (859.7 )
                

Available unused capacity

   $ 696.9     $ 790.3  
                

As shown above, the ABS facility permits borrowings of up to $600 million based on qualifying accounts receivable of the Company. However, at June 30, 2008, our underlying accounts receivable supported total capacity under the ABS facility of $548.6 million. Considering this limitation, our unused capacity at June 30, 2008 was $645.5 million.

While the above reflects the stipulated unused capacity per the respective agreements, our borrowing ability is further restricted by our performance covenants, specifically the leverage ratio, that limits total outstanding indebtedness for the first three quarters of 2008 to 3.75 times (and 3.5 times thereafter) our trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Given this constraint, total indebtedness could have been increased by approximately $300 million at June 30, 2008 despite the unused capacity reflected above for us to remain in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant under the Credit Agreement.

Table of Contents

YRC Assurance Co. Ltd. (“YRC Assurance”) is the Company’s captive insurance company domiciled in Bermuda and a wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary of YRC Worldwide. YRC Assurance provides insurance services to certain wholly owned subsidiaries of YRC Worldwide. As a part of the structure of YRC Assurance, certain qualifying investments are made by YRC Assurance as defined by Bermuda regulations. These investments can include taking an ownership position in certain receivables that secure our ABS facility. As a result, as shown above, our capacity under the ABS facility is reduced by YRC Assurance’s investment in receivables of $245.0 million and $201.4 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Contingent Convertible Notes

The balance sheet classification of our contingently convertible notes between short-term and long-term is dependent upon certain conversion triggers, as defined in the applicable indentures. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the conversion triggers had not been met. Accordingly, based on the stated maturity date, this obligation has been classified as a long-term liability on the accompanying balance sheets.

Credit Rating

As of the date of this filing, the credit rating and outlook assigned to us by the three major rating agencies were as follows:

 

     Corporate/Issuer
Rating
   Outlook

Fitch

   BB+    Negative

Moody’s

   Ba2    Negative

S&P

   BB    Negative

Our borrowing costs and collateral requirements under our Credit Agreement are a function of our credit ratings. Our borrowing costs will increase by an amount up to .40% if two of the three major rating agencies lower our credit rating as follows: Moody’s to Ba3 or worse; S&P and Fitch to BB- or worse. A credit rating of Ba3 or worse by Moody’s and BB- or worse by S&P will also require us to pledge additional collateral under our Credit Agreement.

Cash Flow Measurements

We use free cash flow as a measurement to manage working capital and capital expenditures. Free cash flow indicates cash available to fund additional capital expenditures, to reduce outstanding debt (including current maturities) or to invest in our growth strategies. This measurement is used for internal management purposes and should not be construed as a better measurement than net cash from operating activities as defined by generally accepted accounting principles.

The following table illustrates our calculation for determining free cash flow for the six months ended June 30:

 

(in millions)

   2008     2007  

Net cash from operating activities

   $ 110.6     $ 162.9  

Net property and equipment additions

     (66.0 )     (213.9 )

Proceeds from exercise of stock options

     0.1       6.4  
                

Free cash flow

   $ 44.7     $ (44.6 )
                

Operating cash flows decreased $52.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus the same period in 2007. Cash from operations was impacted by the reduction of general business volumes in 2008 with lower revenue and an exponentially larger reduction in operating income. Additionally, in the first half of 2007, we made pension payments of $131.5 million and accrued pension expense of $24.9 million versus no contributions and expense of $16.8 million in the first half of 2008. Amounts for tax included net refunds of $21.7 million and tax benefit of $5.4 million for the first half of 2008 versus net refunds of $46.9 million and tax provision of $30.1 million for the first half of 2007.

In the first six months of 2008, net property and equipment additions decreased $147.9 million compared to the first six months of 2007 due to both a strategic decision to reduce overall capital expenditures during this period of reduced volumes and, our financing alternative of leasing $63.0 million of revenue equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2008. We intend to continue leasing revenue equipment under various master lease agreements. Other investing activities include additional transaction costs associated with the planned completion of our acquisition of Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. and certain advances under a note receivable.

Table of Contents

For the first six months of 2008, net cash used by financing activities was $37.4 million versus cash provided by financing activities of $31.4 million for the first six months 2007. During 2008, we have prioritized overall debt reduction while in 2007, large pension payments discussed above contributed to a net borrowing position during the six month period. There were minimal proceeds from stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2008 versus $6.4 million in the first six months of 2007.

(a) Total liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2008, were $75.8 million and are classified on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet within “Other Current and Accrued Liabilities”.
(b) Long-term debt maturities are reflected by contractual maturity for all obligations other than the contingent convertible senior notes. These notes are instead presented based on the earliest possible redemption date defined as the first date on which the note holders have the option to require us to purchase their notes.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment of approximately $63.0 million.

We continue to anticipate a 2008 closing (currently projected to be third quarter) of our acquisition of Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Jiayu”) at which time we will pay approximately $45 million. Further, in 2010 we could pay an additional amount not to exceed $32 million. Completion of the acquisition is subject to Chinese regulatory approvals, restructuring of certain of Jiayu’s operations and other ordinary conditions to closing.

Other Commercial Commitments

The following table reflects other commercial commitments or potential cash outflows that may result from a contingent event, such as a need to borrow short-term funds due to insufficient free cash flow.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are primarily exposed to the market risk associated with unfavorable movements in interest rates, foreign currencies, and fuel price volatility. The risk inherent in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss or increased expense arising from adverse changes in those factors. There have been no material changes to our market risk policies or our market risk sensitive instruments and positions as described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our principal executive and financial officers have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
