         PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORTATION GROUP LTD., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 and 1998


1.       ORGANIZATION AND OPERATION

         Professional Transportation Group Ltd., Inc. ("PTG, Ltd.") serves as a
holding company for its three operating subsidiaries: Timely Transportation,
Inc. ("Timely"), Truck-Net, Inc. ("Truck-Net) and PTG, Inc. (collectively, the
"Subsidiaries"). PTG, Ltd. together with the Subsidiaries is hereafter referred
to as the "Company." The Company, through the Subsidiaries, provides
transportation and logistics services primarily for the air freight and
expedited delivery and floor covering industries throughout the continental
United States. Timely operates a fleet of company-owned and leased vehicles to
provide time-definite truckload transportation services for companies in the
air freight, expedited delivery and floor covering markets. Truck-Net provides
brokerage services to companies, mainly in the air freight industry, that are
in need of third-party transportation. PTG, Inc. provides third-party logistics
services in recovering copiers, fax machines, and telephone equipment that are
in need of repair or under expired leases. In September 1999, the Company
entered into an agreement to discontinue operating PTG Inc.'s courier division
and to sell certain assets to Central Delivery Service of Washington, Inc. The
purchase price is a specified percentage of revenues generated by PTG, Inc.
customers for the two year period after closing.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

         The Company had a working capital deficit of $4.4 million at September
30, 1999, which includes a liability of $6.5 million under the Company's line
of credit agreement. Management is currently negotiating an extension of its
line of credit agreement and expects that if it is unable to extend the line of
credit, it will seek additional third-party financing to satisfy its
anticipated cash requirements through 1999. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in obtaining an extension of its credit agreement or
in arranging alternative financing under commercially reasonable terms or at
all. If the Company is not successful in negotiating a satisfactory outcome,
there is doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of PTG,
Ltd. and the Subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and
transactions have been eliminated.


INCOME TAXES

         Net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized to fully offset
income generated in the first nine months of 1999. Therefore, no income tax
provision was recorded.

3.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial

fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at September 30, 1999
and the consolidated results of the Company's operations for the three month
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. Certain information
and footnote disclosures usually found in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1999.

4.       RECLASSIFICATIONS

         Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current year presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS


         The following analysis of the Company's financial condition as of
September 30, 1999 and the Company's results of operations for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and notes
thereto. The following discussion contains statements which constitute
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. These statements appear in a number of places in this
Quarterly Report and include all statements that are not statements of
historical fact regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the
Company, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i)
the Company's financing plans; (ii) trends affecting the Company's financial
condition or results of operations (including, but not limited to, its ability
to extend its credit facility or enter into new arrangements to replace such
facility); (iii) the Company's growth strategy and operating strategy
(including, but not limited to, issues related to Year 2000 compliance); and
(iv) the declaration and payment of dividends. The words "may," "would,"
"could," "will," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "intend,"
"plans," and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's ability to
control. Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Among the key risks,
assumptions and factors that may affect operating results, performance and
financial condition are the Company's reliance on a small number of customers
for a larger portion of its revenues, fluctuations in its quarterly results,
ability to continue and manage its growth, Year 2000 risks and concerns,
liquidity and other capital resources issues, competition and the other factors
discussed in detail in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's Registration
Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-70985), as declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 5, 1999. The financial
information provided below has been rounded in order to simplify its
presentation. However, the percentages provided below are calculated using the
detailed financial information contained in the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the notes thereto.

OVERVIEW

         Through December 31, 1996 the Company, Timely and Truck-Net operated
as three separate entities. At such time, Dennis A. Bakal, the Company's
majority stockholder and then sole director owned all of the shares of Timely
and Truck-Net. Effective January 1, 1997, Mr. Bakal contributed his ownership
in Timely and Truck-Net to the Company, along with his ownership of PTG, a
previously inactive company. On December 31, 1996, PTG acquired certain assets
(subject to certain liabilities), business, operating authorities, names and
customer lists of Rapid Transit ("Rapid"), the courier division of a company
controlled by Mr. Bakal, and certain fixed assets from another company owned by
Mr. Bakal, all in exchange for amounts due the Company, Timely and Truck-Net
from the former corporate owner of Rapid. On June 19, 1997, the Company
completed its initial public offering, which resulted in net proceeds to the
Company of approximately $5.7 million.

         Timely, organized in 1991, performs contract truckload ground
transportation services primarily for customers in the air freight and
expedited delivery markets. In November 1995, Timely entered into an agreement
to perform trucking services for FedEx and became one of FedEx's eight core
carriers. Under the core carrier concept, a limited number of carriers are
selected by a shipper to provide scheduled services between points for a
contractually determined period of time. Such agreements specify routes,
pricing (normally determined by route), equipment specifications and
performance standards. In addition, such agreements generally provide for
pricing adjustments based on fuel pricing or changes in cost structure at
predetermined times. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
FedEx accounted for approximately 38% and 27%, respectively, of the Company's
consolidated revenues. Since the inception of the agreement, the Company has
consistently exceeded the required performance standards under the agreement,
and management anticipates the renewal of the agreement when it expires in May
2000. There can be no assurance, however, that this agreement will be renewed.

         In developing its niche in the industry, Timely has concentrated,
since January 1994, on the contract carriage of truckload freight for the air
freight and expedited delivery markets. By concentrating in these markets, the


                                       8

Company has eliminated the need for terminals and has been able to focus its
efforts on acquiring equipment and recruiting drivers and other personnel.

         In October 1997, the Company organized Timely North, Inc. in order to
enter into a marketing agreement (the "Marketing Agreement") with Continental
American Transportation, Inc. ("Continental"). Under that agreement, Timely
North, on November 1, 1997, leased or sub-leased from Continental and its two
main operating subsidiaries, Carpet Transport, Inc. and Blue Mack Transport,
Inc., (collectively "CTI"), substantially all of their operating assets and
terminals. In addition, all of the employees of CTI were hired by Timely North
effective November 1, 1997.

         The primary business of CTI was the truckload and less-than-truckload
("LTL") cartage of carpet from manufacturing facilities located in north
Georgia to customers primarily located in the eastern and southern United
States. The business was headquartered in Calhoun, Georgia, the heart of the
carpet manufacturing industry in the United States, and served most of the
major carpet mills. The movement of carpet is primarily a one direction
movement with most of the carpet movement being outbound from north Georgia,
making it necessary to find sufficient back-haul business to bring the trucks
back to Georgia at the lowest possible cost. CTI operated 17 remote terminals
to handle the LTL freight it received from the mills. These terminals were
located in 10 states. On November 1, 1997 Timely North began operating these
terminals and began an analysis of the LTL business. In January 1998, Timely
North announced a substantial rate increase to its LTL customers in an attempt
to bring this part of the operation to a profitable level. On March 27, 1998,
Timely North entered into an agreement with CSI/Crown, Inc. ("CSI/Crown"), an
industry competitor and subsidiary of US Xpress Enterprises, Inc., under which
Timely North terminated its LTL operations as of April 1, 1998 and used its
reasonable best efforts to persuade the LTL customers to transfer their
business to CSI/Crown. At the time of termination, all LTL terminals were
closed, employees terminated and equipment and records prepared for return to
the Calhoun location. All terminal location leases were either leased by CTI or
are owned by a former subsidiary of Continental. Neither the Company nor Timely
North is a party to any of the leases or finance contracts entered into by CTI
or Continental.

         During the second quarter of 1998, the Company ceased operating Timely
North, which allowed it to eliminate duplicative functions, personnel and
equipment. Timely restructured to discontinue less profitable full truckload
routes and assumed the most profitable carpet routes from Timely North. The
Company believes that this restructuring has improved customer service, lowered
"deadhead" miles and lowered its operating costs.

         Truck-Net, a licensed freight broker, performs truckload brokerage
services in the same air freight and expedited delivery markets served by
Timely. As a broker, Truck-Net matches a shipper with a specific routing and/or
equipment need with a carrier able to satisfy the shipper's particular
requirements. All carriers used by Truck-Net are required to be properly
certificated and to have a current certificate of insurance. When logistically
feasible, Truck-Net utilizes Timely's equipment to complete the brokerage
contracts. In 1998 the Company began dedicating a portion of the Timely fleet
to servicing Truck-Net customers.

         Truck-Net offers its services to customers on a contract basis. Some
of its services provide specific scheduled runs for a definite time period, and
others provide deliveries on an as needed basis by the shipper. Truck-Net's
largest customer, Panalpina, the U.S. subsidiary of a major European air
freight forwarder, accounted for approximately 10% of the Company's
consolidated operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
as compared to approximately 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.
Since the end of the third quarter of 1999, Panalpina began operating an
in-house truck brokerage service. As a result, Panalpina's traffic through
Truck-Net will decrease significantly. However, Timley has continued to be
offered Panalpina traffic through their brokerage.







RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 compared to Nine Months Ended September
30, 1998


                                       9
<PAGE>   10

         Operating revenues decreased 26.4%, or $11.9 million, to $33.2 million
in the first nine months of 1999 from $45.1 million for the same period last
year. Timely's revenue decreased $1.5 million to $17.5 million primarily due to
revenues generated from the carpet industry during the second quarter of 1998
which the Company did not operate during the comparable period of 1999. Timely
North revenues included in the nine month period of 1998 were $10.6 million.
Truck-Net and PTG, Inc. recorded revenues of $5.5 million and $502,000,
respectively, in the first nine months of 1999 compared to $5.8 million and
$428,000 in the same period of 1998.

         Operating expenses decreased $13.9 million to $32.3 million for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1999 from $46.2 million for the same
period of 1998. Timely accounted for $1.2 million of this decrease, primarily
as a result of lower revenue discussed above, while the discontinuance of
Timely North operations accounted for $11.8 million of the decrease.

         Net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized to fully offset
income generated in the first nine months of 1999. Therefore, no provision for
income taxes has been recorded.

         The Company's net income increased approximately $2.1 million to net
income of $403,000 for the first nine months of 1999 compared to a net loss of
$1.7 million for the comparable period of 1998, primarily as a result of
discontinuing the Timely North LTL operations on April 1, 1998.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1998

         The Company's operating revenues increased approximately $166,000, or
1.5%, to approximately $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30,
1999, from approximately $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30,
1998. Timely's revenues increased $365,000, or 3.4%, to $9.6 million in the
third quarter of 1999 from $9.2 million for the same period in 1998. The
increase in Timely's revenue is attributable to the growth in the agency
division. Timely's agency division, now in its second quarter of operation, is
essentially a cooperative for smaller, time-definite, expedited truckload
carriers whereby the Company bills the agent carrier's customers and collects
the revenues for these shipments. The agent carriers receive economies of scale
by participating with the Company in the purchase of certain overhead and other
items such as maintenance and fuel. The division, currently with four agents,
accounted for approximately $584,000 of Timely's revenue during the quarter.
Truck-Net and PTG recorded revenues of $1.8 million and $115,000, respectively,
in the second quarter of 1999 compared to $2.0 million and $117,000,
respectively, for the same period in 1998.

         The Company's operating expenses increased approximately $71,000, or
 .6%, to approximately $11.1 million in the three months ended September 30,
1999 from approximately $11.0 million in the three months ended September 30,
1998. The increase in the Company's operating expenses is primarily due to
direct costs associated with the increase in revenue discussed above

         The Company's net income was approximately $194,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 compared to net income of $36,000 in the
similar period of 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company had negative working capital of approximately $4.4 million
at September 30, 1999 compared to negative working capital of $4.6 million at
December 31, 1998. During the fourth quarter of 1998, certain notes and
accounts receivable associated with Timely North's marketing agreement with CTI
were reclassified from current to non-current assets due to the
unpredictability of the time required to settle accounts due to the bankruptcy
of the principal debtors. In addition, the Company's primary credit facility,
which is discussed below, is classified as a current liability.


         Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $827,000
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to net cash
provided of approximately $556,000 in the comparable period ended September 30,
1998. The Company's net receivables increased $3.6 million while accounts
payable and accrued liabilities increased $1.8 million. Cash used in investing
activities decreased to approximately $168,000 in 1999


                                      10
<PAGE>   11

from $3.4 million in 1998 primarily due to the acquisition of approximately
$1.1 million of satellite communications equipment and $1.2 million of trailers
during the first nine months of 1998. During the first nine months of 1999, the
Company repaid $906,000 of its obligations under long-term debt and capital
leases and retired approximately $180,000 of its line of credit.

         The Company has available a combined $9.0 million line of credit with
a lending institution to provide for the Company's working capital and letter
of credit requirements. The loan is guaranteed by the Company's principal
shareholder and bears interest at a rate equal to 0.75% above the bank's base
rate (as defined in the agreement). At September 30, 1999, the Company had $6.5
million outstanding under the line of credit with no availability remaining
pursuant to the terms of the agreement. This facility, which was originally
scheduled to mature on December 31, 1998, was extended by the bank until
October 31, 1999. The Company is currently in discussions with the bank to
further extend or refinance this facility. However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to further extend or enter into new arrangements
with the bank or another lending institution on terms favorable to the Company,
if at all, which might necessitate that the Company raise additional funds
through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities. Pursuant to the
loan agreement with the bank, the Company must satisfy certain financial and
other covenants. As of September 30, 1999, the Company was in default under
several non-monetary covenants. The Company has requested from the bank waivers
of compliance with these covenants.

                  In October 1999 the Company entered into a transaction to
refinance most of the debt on its trailers under a term loan for approximately
$4.3 million. From the proceeds, the Company paid off approximately $3.5
million of long-term debt and $500,000 of the Company's line of credit. The
Company is in negotiations, with its current lender and other financial
institutions, on new credit arrangements to replace or refinance its current
line of credit. The Company believes that these new arrangements, if entered
into will be sufficient to satisfy its contemplated cash requirements over the
next 12 months. The Company's financial requirements will depend upon, among
other things, the growth rate of the Company's business, the amount of cash
generated by operations and the Company's ability to borrow funds or enter into
lease or purchase financing arrangements for the acquisition of new equipment
or for working capital purposes. Should the Company require additional debt or
equity financing to support its operations or to make acquisitions, there can
be no assurance that such additional financing will be available to the Company
on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If the company is unable to
replace its existing line of credit prior to any extended maturity date, the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations would be
materially adversely affected. As a result of this uncertainty, the Company's
independent certified public accountants added an explanatory paragraph to
their report on the Company's financial statements for the year ended December
31, 1998 which makes references to the uncertainties regarding the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Certain of the statements in this
paragraph are "forward-looking" statements which are subject to the risks and
uncertainties discussed above.

INFLATION

         Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company's operations.
If inflation increases, the Company will attempt to increase its rates to
offset its increased expenses. No assurances can be given, however, that the
Company will be able to adequately increase its prices in response to
inflation.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES


         The Company's business and relationships with its customers depends
significantly on a number of computer software programs, internal operating
systems and connections to other networks. If any of these software programs,
systems or networks are not programmed to recognize and properly process dates
after December 31, 1999 (the "Year 2000" issue), significant system failures or
errors may result which could have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition, or results of operations of both the effected customers
and the Company. The Company has conducted a preliminary review of its internal
accounting and operating programs and systems and currently believes that these
programs and systems and the network connections it maintains are adequately
programmed to address the Year 2000 issue or can be modified or replaced to
address the Year 2000 issue without incurring costs or delays which would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. However if the
Company and third parties upon which it relies are unable to address this issue
in a timely manner it could result in a material financial risks to the
Company. The Company plans to devote all resources required to resolve any
significant Year 2000 issues in a timely manner.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

         An involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed on or about May 26, 1998
against Continental American, the parent corporation of Carpet Transport, Inc.
("CTI"), in the case styled In re: Continental American Transportation, Inc.,
Case No. 98-41900 HR, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
Georgia (Rome Division). This action was initiated by several parties
purporting to be creditors of Continental American. The involuntary bankruptcy
petition resulted in the appointment of a trustee. The trustee has pursued all
bankruptcy claims against the Company under the CTI Properties, Inc.
bankruptcy. See below.

         An involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed on or about August 7,
1998 against CTI Properties, Inc. at one time and perhaps currently a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental American, in the case styled In re: CTI
Properties, Inc., Case No. R98-42886-HR, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
District of Georgia (Rome Division). The same trustee has been appointed for
both Continental American and CTI Properties. The trustee has filed an
adversary proceeding against the Company asserting that the Company's first
priority security deed may be avoided as a preference. The Company has denied
that its first priority security deed may be avoided, but even if the trustee's
argument is accepted by the court, the Company has title insurance on the
property as well as the personal guarantee of one of the owners of the
property.

          On or about June 17, 1998, a lawsuit was filed against Timely North
and the Company in the case styled CIT Finance Group, Inc. v. Timely North,
Inc. and Professional Transportation Group Ltd., Inc., Case No. 98-CV2280-2,
Superior Court of Clayton County, Georgia. This action was filed by a lessor of
rolling stock to CTI. The complaint alleges generally that Timely North and the
Company are indebted to CIT in an amount to be determined at trial, but that
CIT alleges to be approximately $350,000, an amount disputed by the Company.
While neither Timely North nor the Company has had any contractual relationship
with CIT, CIT asserts in its complaint that the use of its rolling stock
entitles CIT to receive from Timely North and the Company the fair rental value
of the rolling stock during the period of time that Timely North used the
rolling stock. Timely North and the Company have timely filed answers to CIT's
complaint, and intend to contest the case vigorously. Discovery in the case is
progressing.

         An involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed on or about June 17, 1998
against CTI in the case styled In re: Carpet Transport, Inc., Case No. 98-42224
HR, U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia (Rome Division).
This action was filed by several parties purporting to be creditors of CTI and
alleges among other things that Timely North or its affiliates had collected a
portion of CTI's receivables, that a representative of the Company had caused
CTI's withholding tax payments to the IRS to be diverted to Timely North's
benefit (to pay Form 2290 taxes), and that Timely North had sold portions of
CTI's equipment without an accounting for the sales proceeds. A trustee was
appointed and continues to investigate these potential claims. The trustee has
also questioned the receipt by the Company of a payment for a consulting and
non-competition agreement. The trustee also questioned the fully-secured status
and priority of the Company's September 12, 1997 secured loan to CTI and its
affiliates of $1.5 million. The Company denies that its first priority secured
status should be challenged, but even if this challenge is successful, the
Company has title insurance on the property and a personal guarantee of one of
the owners of the property. The trustee also questioned whether the Company was
entitled to the proceeds of the sale of certain rolling stock formerly leased
by CTI. In the event that the trustee should pursue any of these claims against
the Company or its affiliates, the Company and/or its affiliates will file a
timely response to any such claim denying all of the material allegations and
any liability on its part, and will vigorously defend against any such claim.

         On or about July 30, 1998, an action was brought against Timely and
other defendants in the case styled The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. v.
Timely Transportation, Inc. et al., Case No. 98-14395, Court of Common Pleas of
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The plaintiff as a secured creditor of various
defendants other than Timely alleges that those defendants defaulted in their
installment payments to the plaintiff, that the plaintiff sold the collateral
in a foreclosure sale, that the plaintiff has been damaged in the amount of
approximately $151,000, and that Timely is a "successor" to the other
defendants and therefore owes to the plaintiff its damages. Timely was not a
party to any of the documents under which the plaintiff based its case, has
filed a timely answer to the complaint denying all of the material allegations
and any liability on its part, and intends to vigorously defend this action.
Discovery in the case is progressing.

         On or about September 4, 1998, an action was filed against the
Company, Timely and Timely North in the case styled U.S. Bancorp Leasing &
Financial v. Timely North, Inc., Timely Transportation, Inc. and Professional
Transportation Group Ltd., Inc., Case No. 34611, Superior Court of Gordon
County, Georgia. This action was filed by a lessor of rolling stock to CTI. The
complaint alleges generally that the Company, Timely and Timely North are
indebted to U.S. Bancorp in an amount to be determined at trial. U.S. Bancorp
is seeking $290,534.50, an amount disputed by the Company. While neither
Timely, Timely North nor the Company has had any contractual relationship with
U.S. Bancorp, U.S. Bancorp asserts in its complaint that the use of its rolling
stock entitles it to receive from Timely, Timely North and the Company the fair
rental value of the rolling stock during the period of time that Timely North
used the rolling stock. Timely, Timely North and the Company have filed timely
answers to U.S. Bancorp's complaint, and intend to contest the case vigorously.
Discovery in the case is progressing.

         Scott Logistics Corporation v. Timely North, Inc. and Timely
Transportation, Inc., Civil Action File No. 34324, Superior Court of Gordon
County, Georgia. The plaintiff filed suit in response to Timely North's efforts
to collect $9,709.23 due on account from the plaintiff. The plaintiff filed
suit against both Timely North and Timely seeking claims for $8,342.34 for
alleged damages to freight and approximately $60,000 based on allegations of
tortious interference with plaintiff's relationships with one or more of its
customers. Timely and Timely North have filed an answer to the suit and are
vigorously defending against plaintiff's claims. In addition, Timely North has
filed a counterclaim in the amount of $9,709.23 for sums due on account from
the plaintiff.

         T.M.B. Inc. v. Timely Transportation Inc. and Timely North, Inc., Case
No. 98-CV-1931, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia,
Atlanta Division. The plaintiff seeks to recover $99,998.52 for services
rendered and goods supplied. Timely has filed an answer denying liability, and
intends to vigorously defend on the merits. The plaintiff has attempted to add
Professional Transportation Group Ltd., Inc. as a defendant and to bring
additional claims based on alleged breaches of certain equipment leases. The
amount of the plaintiff's additional claims has yet to be determined, but the
court has, thus far, denied the plaintiff's attempts to add such additional
claims. In any event, the Company was not the lessee under the equipment lease
in issue, and intends to vigorously to defend against such claims in the event
an additional lawsuit is filed. The plaintiff has filed a motion for summary
judgement that the Company intends to respond to in a timely manner.

         L.T.D. Logistics, Inc. and Arrow Lines Services, Inc. v. Timely
Transportation, Inc., Timely North, Inc. and Professional Transportation Group
Ltd., Inc., Civil Action File No. 981-6827-99, Superior Court of Cobb County,
Georgia. The plaintiffs claim that they are owed $71,328.30 for services
allegedly rendered. The Company filed an answer denying liability and asserting
that the liability, if any, is solely that of Timely North, Inc. In addition,
Timely North, Inc. has asserted setoffs to the plaintiff's claims.

         USF&G v. Timely Transportation, et al, Civil Action No. 98A5879-4,
State Court of Cobb County, Georgia. USF&G is seeking recovery in the amount of
$52,229.66 for alleged workers' compensation insurance audit premiums, dating
back to 1994. Timely has filed an answer denying responsibility for such
premiums and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

         Gainey Transportation Services, Inc. v. Timely Transportation, Inc.,
Timely North, Inc. and Professional Transportation Group Ltd., Inc., Civil
Action File No. 99-1-5811-99, Superior Court of Cobb County, Georgia. The
plaintiff filed suit claiming that it is owed approximately $65,356.22 for
services rendered. The Company has filed an answer denying liability and
asserting that the liability, if any, is solely that of Timely North.

         Client Server Solutions, Inc. v. Professional Transportation Group
Ltd., Inc., Case No. 99-CV-01909D, State Court of Clayton County, Georgia. The
plaintiff seeks to recover approximately $87,448.62 for services allegedly
rendered. The Company disputes the plaintiff's claim and filed an answer
denying liability. It appears that the Company may have counterclaims against
the plaintiff, and counsel if presently investigating such counterclaims, which
will likely be added to the lawsuit in the near future.

         The Company is not a party to any other material legal proceedings.
