Page 3 KENAN TRANSPORT COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Basis of Presentation ----------------------------- The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and include the accounts of Kenan Transport Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Petro-Chemical Transport, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Kenan Transport Company (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1999 has been taken from the audited financial statements as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (none of which are other than normal recurring accruals) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ----------------------------------------- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which requires that upon adoption all derivative instruments be recognized in the balance sheet at fair value and that changes in such fair values be recognized in earnings unless specific hedging criteria are met. Changes in the values of derivatives that meet these hedging criteria will ultimately offset related earnings effects of the hedged items; effects of certain changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income pending recognition in earnings. SFAS No. 137 subsequently deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 for the Company to January 1, 2001. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 133 at that time. The application of Statement 133 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

4. Long-Term Debt ---------------------- On February 13, 1998, the Company negotiated an unsecured $20,000,000 Reducing Line-of-Credit Facility (the facility) with a bank. Funds available under the line reduce $500,000 per quarter beginning July 1, 1998 to a minimum line of $10,000,000. The facility matures in March 2003. Interest on borrowings under the facility is variable based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The Company had $6,000,000 outstanding under the facility at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had an unused line of $9,500,000 available under the facility. The credit agreement contains the following financial covenants: (1) Funds from Operations to Funded Debt Ratio, and (2) Funded Debt to Capitalization Ratio. The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. The Company has entered into a simple interest rate swap agreement to manage costs and risks associated with changing interest rates. Under the agreement, the Company exchanges at specific intervals the difference between the fixed and variable rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional amount with any differential recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. The agreement effectively changes a portion of the Company's interest rate exposure on the line-of-credit from a floating rate to a fixed rate. At September 30, 2000, the notional principal amount of this agreement totaled $5,000,000. The agreement matures in March 2003. The average variable rates during the first nine months of 2000 and 1999 were 6.7% and 5.5%, respectively, compared to a fixed rate of 6.5% for these periods. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. Page 5 KENAN TRANSPORT COMPANY NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 5. Nonqualified Stock Options ---------------------------------- On May 1, 2000, 100,000 nonqualified stock options were awarded to key employees under the Company's 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The options have an exercise price of $21.00, which is equal to the fair value of a share of the Company's stock at the date of grant. The options have a ten-year term with vesting periods of one to three years from the date of grant. The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in accounting for stock option awards. In accordance with APB No. 25, the Company properly did not record compensation expense for the 100,000 stock options granted on May 1, 2000. Page 6 KENAN TRANSPORT COMPANY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected the Company's financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements. Results of Operations For the third quarter of 2000, revenue was $39,598,000 compared to $35,547,000 for the third quarter of 1999, an 11% increase from year to year. Net income was $1,401,000 compared to $1,249,000 in 1999. Earnings per share were $.58 compared to $.51 during the periods for each year. Miles operated increased 6% from the third quarter of 1999.The increase in miles operated was due to adding new customers and growth within the existing, targeted customer base. Price adjustments to offset the increased costs of higher fuel prices and driver pay and benefits contributed to a 5% increase in revenue for the third quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2000 increased $3,891,000 (12%) over the third quarter of 1999. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in miles operated, higher fuel prices, and increases in driver pay rates and benefit costs. Fuel expense increased $1,229,000 due to 56% higher fuel prices and the increase in miles operated. Wages and employee benefits increased $1,783,000 primarily due to the increase in volume and the Company increasing driver wages and providing higher benefits in order to continue attracting and retaining professional drivers. The Company's third quarter operating ratio was 94.4% compared to 94.2% in 1999. Interest expense was $166,000 for the third quarter of 2000 compared to $222,000 in 1999. The average balances of outstanding debt and capital lease obligations during the third quarter of 2000 and 1999 were approximately $9,500,000 and $13,600,000, respectively. For the first nine months of 2000, revenue was $117,204,000 compared to $103,524,000 for 1999, a 13% increase from year to year. Net income was $3,757,000 compared to $3,620,000 in 1999. Earnings per share were $1.55 compared to $1.49 during the same period last year. Miles operated increased 8% from the first nine months of 1999. Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2000 totaled $110,948,000, an increase of $13,337,000 (14%) due primarily to the higher volume and increases in wages and employee benefits and fuel costs. Wages and employee benefits expense increased $6,640,000 (12%), and fuel expense increased $4,364,000 (89%). In addition, depreciation expense for tractors and trailers increased $1,129,000 primarily due to replacing older equipment and operating leases acquired in the acquisitions of Transport South and Petro-Chemical Transport with new owned equipment. Price adjustments to offset the increased costs of higher fuel prices and driver pay and benefits contributed to a 5% increase in revenue for the first nine months of 2000 compared to 1999. Page 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF Financial CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Liquidity and Capital Resources At September 30, 2000, cash and cash equivalents totaled $3,977,000, a decrease of $3,489,000 from December 31, 1999. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the purchase of tractors and trailers during the first nine months under the Company's replacement program designed to maintain an efficient, highly productive fleet. In addition, 25 tractors that were operated under operating leases were replaced with owned equipment. The additional cash used to pay for the new tractors and trailers was generated from cash provided by operations. Working capital of $3,216,000 was down $3,249,000 from year-end 1999. At September 30, 2000, the Company had outstanding debt and capital lease obligations totaling $9,426,000 compared to $10,128,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company has fourth quarter net cash commitments of approximately $1,300,000 for tractor and trailer replacements. Management believes that cash flows from operations and the Company's bank line-of-credit will be sufficient to fund these planned expenditures, as well as 2000 working capital requirements, expansion opportunities and other corporate needs. Inflation The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared based on historical dollars and are not intended to show the impact of inflation or changing prices. With the exception of driver wages and fuel prices, inflation and changing prices have not had a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Environmental Matters The Company stores fuel in underground and aboveground tanks for use in certain of its terminal facilities. The Company has a program to maintain its fuel storage facilities in compliance with environmental regulations. Under the program, the Company incurs costs to replace tanks, remediate soil contamination resulting from overfills, spills and leaks, and monitor facilities on an ongoing basis. These costs are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. Such costs have not been and are not expected to be material to the Company's operations or liquidity. Page 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF Financial CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) Market Risk Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as currency exchange rates and other relevant market rates or price changes. In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to interest rate risks and the Company regularly evaluates its exposure to this risk. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The estimated fair value of the interest rate swap agreement represents the estimated receipts or payments that would be made to terminate the agreement. At September 30, 2000, the Company would have received approximately $43,000 to terminate the agreement. Assuming a 100 basis point reduction in the LIBOR interest rate curve, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement would have decreased by approximately $112,000.
