1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed, consolidated financial statements of Quality Distribution, Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made in the fiscal 1999 statements to conform to the 2000 presentation.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Form 10-K dated March 30, 2000.

Operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2. CHEMICAL LEAMAN ACQUISITION:

On August 28, 1998, the Company completed its agreement and plan of merger with Chemical Leaman Corporation ("CLC") and the shareholders of CLC in a transaction accounted for as a purchase.

On February 3, 1999 the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the former shareholders of CLC regarding the remaining consideration owed in the CLC acquisition. The agreement called for a payment of $3 million of restricted cash to the former shareholders as a settlement of final payment of amounts owed under the merger agreement and a cancellation of the 5,000 preferred shares issued in connection with the acquisition. This agreement resulted in the recording of additional goodwill of approximatley $3 million.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 requires that an enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in the financial statements and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in the stockholders' equity section of the consolidated balance sheets for annuual financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS 130 in 1998 and accordingly, Comprehensive Income is as follows:

4. DERIVATIVES:

The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The instruments primarily used to mitigate these risks are interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts. All derivative instruments held by the Company are designed as hedges and accordingly, the gains and losses from changes in derivative fair values are deferred. Gains and losses upon settle- ment are recognized in the statement of operations or recorded as part of the underlying asset or liability as appropriate. The Company is exposed to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to these financial instruments however, counterparties to these agreements are major financial institutions; and the risk of loss due to nonperformance is considered by management to be minimal. The Company does not hold nor issue interest rate swaps or foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FAS 133,"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which is effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning in 2001 (as extended by FAS 137). This Statement requires that derivative instruments be recognized as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. The Company does not anticipate a material effect upon adoption of this standard.

The Company currently has appproximately $325.0 million of variable interest debt. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements designed as a partial hedge of the Company's portfolio of variable rate debt. The purpose of these swaps is to fix interest rates on variable rate debt and reduce certain exposures to interest rate fluctuations. At June 30, 2000 the Company had interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $100.0 million. The notional amounts do not represent a measure of exposure of the Company. The Company will pay counterparties interest at a fixed rate ranging from 5.41% to 5.48%, and the counter parties will pay the Company interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR. The LIBOR rate applicable to these agreements at June 30, 2000 was
6.8625%. These agreements mature and renew every three months and expire on

(Unaudited) - (continued)

September 2, 2001. A 10% fluctuation in interest rates would have a $1.9 million impact, net of interest rate swap agreements, on future earnings.

The Company has entered into short-term foreign currency agreements to exchange US dollars (US $7,475) for Canadian dollars (CN $11,062). The purpose of these agreements is to hedge against fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company is required to make US dollar payments at fixed exchange rates ranging from 1.4782 to 1.4835, and as such, the market risk based upon a 10% fluctuation in the exchange rate in immaterial.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS:

The Company's activities involve the handling, transportation, storage, and disposal of bulk liquid chemicals, many of which are classified as hazardous materials, hazardous substances, or hazardous wastes. The Company's tank wash and terminal operations engage in the storage or discharge of wastewater and stormwater that may contain hazardous substances, and from time to time the Company stores diesel fuel and other petroleum products at their terminals. As such, the Company is subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulation by U.S. federal, state, local and Canadian government authorities. Environmental laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and have tended to become more stringent over time. There can be no assurance that violations of such laws or regulations will not be identified or occur in the future, or that such laws and regulations will not change in a manner that could impose material costs on the Company.

The Company has environmental management programs that it carries out in conjunction with its safety program. Facility managers are responsible for environmental compliance. Self-audits are required to address operations, safety training and procedures, equipment and grounds maintenance, emergency response capabilities, and wastewater management. The Company also contracts with an independent environmental consulting firm that conducts periodic, unscheduled, compliance assessments, which focus on conditions with the potential to result in releases of hazardous substances or petroleum, and which also include screening for evidence of past spills or releases. The Company's relationship to its affiliates could, under certain circumstances, result in the Company incurring liability for environmental contamination attributable to an affiliate's operations, although the Company has not incurred any such derivative liability in the past. The Company's environmental management program is extended to its affiliates.

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, EnviroPower, Inc., is staffed with environmental experts who manage the Company's environmental exposure relating to historical operations and develop policies and procedures, including periodic audits of the Company's terminals and tank cleaning facilities, in order to minimize the existence of circumstances that could


Form 10-Q
Item 1 - Financial Statements
QUALITY DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - (continued)

lead to future environmental exposure. EnviroPower is also the Company's principal interface with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") and various state environmental agencies.

As a handler of hazardous substances, the Company is potentially subject to strict, joint and several liability for investigating and rectifying the consequences of spills and other environmental releases of such substances either under CERCLA or comparable state laws. From time to time, the Company has incurred remedial costs and regulatory penalties with respect to chemical or wastewater spills and releases at its facilities and, notwithstanding the existence of its environmental management program, the Company cannot assure that such obligations will not be incurred in the future, nor that such liabilities will not result in a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations or its business reputation. As the result of environmental studies conducted at its facilities in conjunction with its environmental management program, the Company has identified environmental contamination at certain of such sites which will require remediation.

The Company has also been named a "potentially responsible party," or has otherwise been alleged to have some level of responsibility, under CERCLA or similar state laws for cleanup of off-site locations at which the Company's waste, or material transported by the Company, has allegedly been disposed. The Company has asserted defenses to such actions and has not incurred significant liability in the CERCLA cases settled to date. While the Company believes that it will not bear any material liability in any current or future CERCLA matters, there can be no assurance that the Company will not in the future incur material liability under CERCLA or similar laws. See "Risk Factors -- Transporting Hazardous Substances Could Create Environmental Liabilities" for a discussion of certain risks of the Company associated with transporting hazardous substances.

CLC is currently solely responsible for remediation of the following two federal Superfund sites:

Bridgeport, New Jersey. During 1991, CLC entered into a Consent Decree with the EPA filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, U.S. v. Chemical Leaman Tank Lines, Inc., Civil Action No. 91-2637 (JFG) (D.N.J.), with respect to its site located in Bridgeport, New Jersey, requiring CLC to remediate groundwater contamination. The Consent Decree required CLC to undertake Remedial Design and Remedial Action ("RD/RA") related to the groundwater operable unit of the cleanup.

In August 1994, the EPA issued a Record of Decision, selecting a remedy for the wetlands operable unit at the Bridgeport site at a cost estimated by the EPA to be approximately $7 million. In October 1998, the EPA issued an administrative order that requires CLC to implement the EPA's wetlands remedy. In April 1998, the federal and state natural resource damages trustees indicated their intention to bring claims against CLC for natural resource damages at the Bridgeport site. CLC has finalized a consent decree with the state and federal trustees that will resolve the natural resource damages claims. CLC has also entered an agreement in principle to reimburse


Form 10-Q
Item 1 - Financial Statements
QUALITY DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - (continued) the EPA's past costs in investigating and overseeing activities at the site over a three year period for which the Company has established reserves. In addition, the EPA has investigated contamination in site soils. No decision has been made as to the extent of soil remediation to be required, if any.

CLC initiated litigation against its insurers to recover its costs in connection with environmental clean-ups at its sites. In a case captioned Chemical Leaman Tank Lines, Inc. v. Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., et al., Civil Action No. 89-1543 (SSB) (D.N.J.), Chemical Leaman sought from its insurers reimbursement of substantially all past and future environmental cleanup costs at the Bridgeport site. In a case captioned The Aetna Casualty and Surety Company v. Chemical Leaman Tank Lines, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 94-CV-6133 (E.D. Pa.), Chemical Leaman sought from its insurers reimbursement of substantially all past and future environmental cleanup costs at its other sites. In an agreement dated as of November 18, 1999, Chemical Leaman favorably resolved these outstanding insurance claims resulting in a net recovery of approximately $30 million of which $18.5 million was received during the fourth quarter of 1999. The remaining $11.5 was received in the first quarter of 2000.

West Caln Township, PA. The EPA has alleged that CLC disposed of Hazardous Materials at the William Dick Lagoons Superfund Site in West Caln, Pennsylvania. On October 10, 1995, CLC entered a Consent Decree with the EPA which required CLC to
(1) pay the EPA for installation of an alternate water line to provide water to area residents;

(2) perform an interim groundwater remedy at the site; and

(3) conduct soil remediation. U.S. v. Chemical Leaman Tank Lines, Inc., Civil Action No. 95-CV-4264 (RJB) (E.D. Pa.).

CLC has paid all costs associated with installation of the waterline. CLC has completed a hydro-geologic study, and has commenced activities for construction of a groundwater treatment plant to pump and treat groundwater. The EPA anticipates that CLC will operate the plant for about five years, at which time the EPA will evaluate groundwater conditions and determine whether a final groundwater remedy is necessary. Field sampling for soil remediation recently commenced. The Consent Decree does not cover the final groundwater remedy or other site remedies or claims, if any, for natural resource damages.

Other Environmental Matters. CLC has been named as PRP under CERCLA and similar state laws at approximately 40 former waste treatment and/or disposal sites including the Helen Kramer Landfill Site where CLC recently settled its liability. In general, CLC is among several PRP's named at these sites. CLC is also incurring expenses resulting from the investigation and/or remediation of certain current and former CLC properties, including its facility in Tonawanda, New York and its former facility in Putnam County, West Virginia, and its facility in Charleston, West Virginia. The Company has also favorably settled a toxic tort claim brought against it and several co-defendants by an uncertified class of Texas claimants. As a result of its acquisition of CLC, the Company identified other owned or formerly owned properties that may require


Form 10-Q
Item 1 - Financial Statements
QUALITY CARRIERS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) - (continued)

investigation and/or remediation, including properties subject to the New Jersey Industrial Sites Recovery Act (ISRA). CLC's involvement at some of the above referenced sites could amount to material liabilities, and there can be no assurance that costs associated with these sites, individually or in the aggregate, will not be material. The Company has established reserves to cover amounts associated with the Helen Kramer Landfill, CLC's facility at Tonawanda, New York and CLC's former facility in Putnam County.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

On July 31, 2000 the Company initiated a corporate headcount reduction which will result in a restructuring charge of approximately one million in the third quarter of 2000.

7. GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES:

The 10% Series B Senior Subordinated Notes issued in June 1998 and due 2006 are unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis pursuant to guarantees by all the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries ("The Guarantors").

The Company conducts all of its business through and derives virtually all its income from its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company's ability to make required principal and interest payments with respect all to the Company's debt depends on the earnings of subsidiaries and its ability to receive funds from its subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantors are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company and have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Notes on a joint and several basis.

The Company has not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning subsidiary guarantors because management has determined such information is not material to the holders of the Notes.

The following condensed consolidating financial information presents:

1. Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2000 and December 31,1999.

2. Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30,2000 and 1999.

QUALITY DISTRIBUITION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER 2000 COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER 1999

The Company's operating results are affected by shipments for the bulk chemical industry. Shipments of chemical products are in turn affected by many other industries, including consumer and industrial products, automotive, paint and coatings, and paper, and tend to vary with changing economic conditions. The Company also participates in the shipment of bulk food products through its food-grade division. The volumes of food products and certain other consumer products tend to be subject to fewer fluctuations due to swings in economic activity.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, revenues totaled $149.8 million, a 2.0% increase over revenues of $146.9 million for the same period in 1999. This increase includes $0.8 million in revenue growth plus $3.5 million attributable to the contractual implementation of fuel surcharges. These increases were offset by the absence in 2000 of $1.4 million related to Leaman Logiiistics recorded in 1999. Leaman Logistics was sold in the 3rd quarter of 1999.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2000, operating income totaled $11.0 million,an increase of $3.0 compared to $8.0 million for the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to a $2.9 million charge to depreciation and amortization made in 1999 attributable to the reduction in the useful life of acquired computer software. Without this charge operating income would have been $10.9 million in 1999.

The operating ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was 92.7 % compared to 94.6 % for the same period in 1999.

Net interest expense increased by $0.3 million to $10.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, from $9.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 1999. This increase is the result of higher interest rates on the variable interest portion of the Company's debt favorably offset by a reduction in debt from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.

The pretax income for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 totaled $1.0 million compared to a $1.7 million loss for the same period in 1999.

The effective tax rate increased from 35.2% to 80.0% of pretax income or loss due to the relative impact of non-deductable items on the different income or loss amounts.

For the quarter ended June 30,2000, the Company's net income was $0.1 million compared with a $1.1 million loss for the same period last year.

Basic weighted average shares outstanding increased slightly from 2,011,000 in the second quarter of 1999 to 2,013,649 in the second quarter of 2000. As of June 30, 2000, a total of 2,013,649 shares were outstanding.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, revenues totaled $298.4 million, a
2.4% increase over revenues of $291.4 million for the same period in 1999. This increase includes $2.9 million in revenue growth plus $6.7 million attributable to the contractual implementation of fuel surcharges. These increases were offset by the absence in 2000 of $2.6 million recorded in 1999 related to Leaman Logistics. Leaman Logistics was sold in the 3rd quarter of 1999.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, operating income totaled $20.7 million, an increase of $8.7 million compared to $12.0 million for the same period in 1999. This increase is primarily due to the $8.8 million charge in 1999 recording depreciation and amortization attributable to the reduction in useful life of acquired computer software used in the trucking operation.

The operating ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 93.1% compared to 95.9% for the comparable prior year period.

Net interest expense increased to $20.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, from $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase is the result of higher interest rates on the variable interest portion of the Company's debt favorably offset by a reduction in average debt levels during the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the average debt levels during the six months ended June 30, 1999.

The pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 totaled $0.5 million compared to a loss of $7.3 million for the same period in 1999.

The effective tax rate increased from 36.7% to 89.8% due to the relative impact of non-deductablle items on the different pretax income or loss amounts.

For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company's net loss, was $0.1 million compared with a loss $4.7 million for the same period last year.

Basic weighted average shares outstanding year to date increased from 2,010,000 in 1999 to 2,013,649 in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's primary sources of liquidity are funds provided by operations and borrowings under various credit arrangements with financial institutions.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, versus $12.2 million for the same period in 1999.

Cash used by investing activities totaled $7.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2000, compared to $12.0 million used for the comparable 1999 period. This decrease was the result of reduced capital expenditures year to date in 2000. Capital was used primarily to acquire additional revenue equipment to expand the Company's operations.

Cash used in financing activities totaled $8.9 million during the six month period ended June 30, 2000, compared to $1.3 million provided in the the comparable period in 1999. This difference is primarily due to the increased payment of debt obligations in 2000.

The Company has a $285,000,000 credit facility with a group of banks maturing at various times from June of 2004 to 2006. Additionally, the Company has a revolving credit facility in the amount of $75.0 million until June 9, 2004. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has available $61.6 million under this revolving credit facility. The Company also has $100.0 million in 10% senior subordinated notes due in 2006 and $40.0 million in floating interest rate subordinated term securities also due in 2006.

The Company's management believes that borrowings under the line of credit, together with available cash and internally generated funds, will be sufficient to fund QDI's continued growth and meet its working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.
