1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2000. For further information, refer
to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Landair Corporation annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1999.

The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

Some reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to
conform to the 2000 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net
loss as previously reported.

2. PURCHASE OF ASSETS OF LAKER EXPRESS, INC.

On January 7, 1999, the Company acquired certain operating assets of Laker
Express, Inc. ("Laker"), a truckload dry van carrier based in Indianapolis,
Indiana which operated predominantly in the Midwest in the short- to medium-haul
markets. The purchase price for Laker consisted of approximately $14.8 million
in cash and the issuance of a note payable of $400,000. The source of funds for
the cash consideration paid to Laker was from borrowings under the Company's
credit facilities.

The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Identified intangible assets
acquired totaled approximately $1.5 million and are being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a life of five years. Goodwill totaled approximately
$2.6 million and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a life of 20
years. Accumulated amortization of the identified intangible assets and goodwill
totaled $717,000 and $288,000 at September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The
results of operations for the acquired business are included in the condensed
consolidated statements of income from the acquisition date forward.

3.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

In February 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to
500,000 shares of the Company's common stock in open market transactions. The
amount and timing of any repurchases are to be at such prices as management of
the Company approves from time to time. As of September 30, 2000, the Company
had repurchased 308,499 shares under the original share repurchase program.
Additionally, during the nine month period ending September 30, 2000, the Board
of Directors approved the repurchase of two blocks of the Company's common stock
totaling 1,130,281 shares for a total consideration of approximately $4.7
million.

4.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company had no items of other comprehensive income in 2000 or 1999 and,
accordingly, comprehensive income is equivalent to net income.

5.  INCOME PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per
share (in thousands, except per share data):

(1)  Diluted loss per share amounts for the 1999 periods have been calculated
     using the same denominator as used in the basic loss per share calculation
     as the inclusion of dilutive securities in the denominator would have an
     antidilutive effect.

6.  INCOME TAXES

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the effective
income tax (benefit) rate varied from the statutory federal income tax rate of
34% primarily as a result of the effect of state income taxes, net of the
federal benefit and permanent differences.

7.  CONTINGENCIES

The primary claims in the Company's business are workers' compensation, property
damage, auto liability and medical benefits. Most of the Company's insurance
coverage provides for self-insurance levels with primary and excess coverage
which management believes is sufficient to adequately protect the Company from
catastrophic claims. In the opinion of management, adequate provision has been
made for all incurred claims up to the self-insured limits, including provision
for estimated claims incurred but not reported.

The Company estimates its self-insurance loss exposure by evaluating the merits
and circumstances surrounding individual known claims, and by performing
hindsight analysis to determine an estimate of probable losses on claims
incurred but not reported. Such losses could be realized immediately as the
events underlying the claims have already occurred as of the balance sheet
dates.

Because of the uncertainty of the ultimate resolution of outstanding claims, as
well as uncertainty regarding claims incurred but not reported, it is possible
that management's provision for these losses could change materially in the near
term. However, no estimate can currently be made of the range of additional loss
that is at least reasonably possible.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 1999

Operating revenue decreased by $1.0 million, or 3.0%, to $32.0 million in the
third quarter of 2000 from $33.0 million in 1999. The decrease in operating
revenue resulted primarily from a decrease in the average tractors in service
offset somewhat by improved equipment utilization during the three months ended
September 30, 2000. During the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, the average
tractors in service, including owner-operators, were 968 and 1,109,
respectively. Revenue per tractor per week improved from $2,461 during the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 to $2,647 per tractor per week during the
three month period ended September 30, 2000.

</TABLE>

The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue)
was 97.0% for the third quarter of 2000 compared to 101.5% for 1999. The
decrease in the operating ratio in 2000 resulted from a lower operating cost
structure caused by an increase in equipment utilization and increased revenue
rates between periods and other factors as discussed below.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 32.3% of operating revenue in the
third quarter of 2000 compared to 33.4% in 1999. The decrease in salaries, wages
and employee benefits as a percentage of operating revenue resulted primarily
from a decrease in the ratio of Company-operated tractors to owner-operator
tractors. During the third quarter of 2000, average Company-operated tractors in
service were 598 compared to 759 in 1999. This decrease was partially offset by
higher wage rates for Company drivers.

Purchased transportation was 30.4% of operating revenue in the third quarter of
2000 compared to 28.3% in 1999. The increase in purchased transportation as a
percentage of operating revenue in the third quarter of 2000 was primarily
attributable to an increase in the ratio of owner-operator tractors to
Company-operated tractors. Owner-operators represented 38.2% of the Company's
average tractors in service during the third quarter of 2000, up 21% over the
1999 period.

Fuel and fuel taxes were 9.1% of operating revenue in the third quarter of 2000
compared to 11.2% in 1999. The decrease in fuel and fuel taxes as a percentage
of operating revenue during the third quarter of 2000 resulted primarily from a
decrease in the ratio of Company-operated tractors to owner-operator tractors
during the period, partially offset by an increase in the average fuel price per
gallon between periods. Fuel cost is net of fuel surcharges collected from
customers.

Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue was
10.1% in the third quarter of 2000 compared to 10.6% in 1999. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization as a percentage of operating revenue was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the ratio of Company-operated tractors to
owner-operator tractors coupled with an increase in equipment utilization during
the third quarter of 2000 compared to the prior-year quarter.

Insurance and claims were 3.2% of operating revenue in the third quarter of 2000
compared to 4.0% in 1999. The decrease in insurance and claims expense as a
percentage of operating revenue was a result of decreased frequency and severity
of accidents which was partially offset by higher insurance premiums during the
third quarter of 2000 compared with 1999.

Operating leases were 1.6% of operating revenue in the third quarter of 2000
compared to 1.3% in 1999. The increase in operating leases as a percentage of
operating revenue during 2000 was attributed to an increase in rent for revenue
equipment between periods.

Other operating expenses, a large component of which relates to equipment
maintenance, were 10.3% of operating revenue in the third quarter of 2000
compared to 12.7% in 1999. The decrease in other operating expenses as a
percentage of operating revenue was primarily attributed to a decrease in
commissions paid to sales agents.

Interest expense was $669,000 or 2.1% of operating revenue in the third quarter
of 2000 compared to $821,000 or 2.5% in 1999. The decrease was caused by lower
average net borrowings during 2000 resulting primarily from the Company's
efforts to reduce its debt levels partially offset by higher interest rates.

The combined federal and state effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2000
was 39.6% compared to a tax benefit of 36.1% for 1999.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for the third quarter of 2000
increased by approximately $1.0 million from a net loss of $749,000 during the
1999 period. Net earnings for the 2000 period were $259,000.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30,
1999

Operating revenue increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 1.0%, to $98.1
million in the first nine months of 2000 from $97.3 million in 1999. This
increase was a result of improved equipment utilization partially offset by a
decrease in the average tractors in service. During the first nine months of
2000 and 1999, the average tractors in service, including owner-operators, were
1,003 and 1,090, respectively.

The sources of the Company's operating revenue within the Company's one
reportable segment were as follows:

The operating ratio (operating expenses as a percentage of operating revenue)
was 97.0% for the first nine months of 2000 compared to 101.3% for 1999. The
decrease in the operating ratio in 2000 resulted primarily from the factors
discussed below.

Salaries, wages and employee benefits were 32.6% of operating revenue in the
first nine months of 2000 compared to 34.9% in 1999. The decrease in salaries,
wages and employee benefits as a percentage of operating revenue resulted
primarily from a decrease in the ratio of Company-operated tractors to
owner-operator tractors. During the first nine months of 2000, average
Company-operated tractors in service were 650 compared to 755 in 1999.

Purchased transportation was 28.9% of operating revenue in the first nine months
of 2000 compared to 26.9% in 1999. The increase in purchased transportation as a
percentage of operating revenue in the first nine months of 2000 was primarily
attributable to an increase in the ratio of owner-operator tractors to
Company-operated tractors. Owner-operators represented 35.2% of the Company's
average tractors in service during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, an
increase of 14.5% over the prior-year period.

Fuel and fuel taxes were 9.8% of operating revenue in the first nine months of
2000 compared to 11.1% in 1999. The decrease in fuel and fuel taxes as a
percentage of operating revenue during the third quarter of 2000 resulted
primarily from a decrease in the ratio of Company-operated tractors to
owner-operator tractors during the period.

Depreciation and amortization expense as a percentage of operating revenue was
9.8% in the first nine months of 2000 compared to 10.4% in 1999. The decrease in
depreciation and amortization as a percentage of operating revenue was primarily
attributable to a decrease in the ratio of Company-operated tractors to
owner-operator tractors coupled with an increase in equipment utilization during
the first nine months of 2000 compared to the prior year.

Insurance and claims were 3.9% of operating revenue in the first nine months of
2000 compared to 4.6% in 1999. The decrease in insurance and claims expense as a
percentage of operating revenue was a result of decreased frequency and severity
of accidents which was partially offset by higher insurance premiums during the
first nine months of 2000 compared with 1999.

Operating leases were 1.6% of operating revenue in the first nine months of 2000
compared to 1.3% in 1999. The increase in operating leases as a percentage of
operating revenue during 2000 was attributed to an increase in rent for revenue
equipment between periods.

Other operating expenses, a large component of which relates to equipment
maintenance, were 10.4% of operating revenue in the first nine months of 2000
compared to 12.1% in 1999. The decrease in other operating expenses as a
percentage of operating revenue was primarily attributed to a decrease in
commissions paid to sales agents.

Interest expense was $2.1 million or 2.1% of operating revenue in the first nine
months of 2000 compared to $2.0 million or 2.1% in 1999. Lower average
borrowings during 2000 offset by



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

higher interest rates kept this expense as a percent of revenue consistent with
the same nine month period in 1999.

The combined federal and state effective tax rate for the first nine months of
2000 was 38.9% compared to a benefit of 34.4% for 1999.

As a result of the foregoing factors, net income increased by approximately $2.8
million from a net loss of $2.1 million to net earnings of $755,000.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Historically, the growth of the Company and the nature of its operations have
required significant investment in new equipment. The Company has historically
financed revenue equipment purchases with cash flows from operations, and
through borrowing under credit agreements with financial institutions and
equipment manufacturers. Working capital needs have generally been met with cash
flows from operations and borrowings under credit agreements. Net cash provided
by operating activities of the Company was $13.4 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000 compared with $3.2 million in the same period of
1999.

Net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $900,000 in the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000, compared with net cash used in investing
activities of $33.1 million in the same period of 1999. Investing activities for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, consisted primarily of the
acquisition of revenue equipment, the acquisition of assets from Laker and the
purchase of a terminal facility.

Net cash used in financing activities was $14.3 million during the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000, compared with net cash provided by financing
activities of $28.1 million in the same period of 1999. Financing activities
during the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, consisted of the
repayment of $9.4 million of long-term debt and the repurchase of $4.9 million
of the Company's common stock. During the same period in 1999, financing
activities consisted primarily of the financing of revenue equipment,
acquisition of assets from Laker and the purchase of a terminal facility.

The Company's credit facilities include a working capital line of credit and
equipment financing facilities with equipment manufacturers and banks. Subject
to maintenance of financial covenants and ratios, the bank credit facilities
permit the Company to borrow up to $15.0 million under the working capital line
of credit and $15.0 million under an equipment financing facility. Interest
rates for advances under the bank facilities vary based on covenants related to
total indebtedness, cash flows, results of operations and other ratios. The bank
facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.75% to 2.0% and are secured by accounts
receivable and certain revenue equipment. The availability for additional
borrowings under the working capital line of credit expire in November 2001 and
the bank equipment financing facility expires in December 2000. Availability
under the line of credit is reduced by the amount of outstanding letters of
credit. As of September 30, 2000, the Company had $2.9 million of borrowings and
$4.2 million of letters of credit



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

outstanding under the working capital line of credit facility and $18.1 million
of borrowings outstanding under the bank equipment financing facilities.

The Company expects to finance its normal operating requirements and planned
revenue equipment purchases through available borrowing capacity under existing
lines of credit, future borrowings under installment notes for revenue
equipment, operating lease financing and cash generated by operations. In the
future, the Company will continue to have significant capital requirements,
which may require the Company to seek additional borrowings or to access capital
markets. The availability of debt financing or equity capital will depend upon
the Company's financial condition and results of operations as well as
prevailing market conditions and other factors over which the Company has little
or no control.

Impact of Year 2000

In prior years, the Company discussed the nature and progress of its plans to
become Year 2000 ready. In late 1999, the Company completed its remediation and
testing of systems. As a result of those planning and implementation efforts,
the Company experienced no significant disruptions in mission critical
information technology and non-information technology systems and believes those
systems successfully responded to the Year 2000 date change. The Company
expensed approximately $14,000 during the first nine months of 1999 in
connection with remediating its systems. The Company is not aware of any
material problems resulting from Year 2000 issues, either with its products, its
internal systems, or the products and services of third parties. The Company
will continue to monitor its mission critical computer applications and those of
its suppliers and vendors throughout the Year 2000 and will address any latent
Year 2000 matters that may arise.

On October 1, 2000, the Company implemented Innovative Computing Corporation's
operations and administrative software system. This software is used widely in
the truckload transportation industry. In connection with this implementation,
the Company is in the process of reviewing the adequacy of the balances
established in certain balance sheet accounts.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company, or its executive officers and directors on behalf of the Company,
may from time to time make written or oral "forward-looking statements." Written
forward-looking statements may appear in documents filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, in press releases and in reports to shareholders. Oral
forward-looking statements may be made by the Company's executive officers and
directors on behalf of the Company to the press, potential investors, securities
analysts and others. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
contains a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. The Company relies on
this safe harbor in making such disclosures. In connection with this safe harbor
provision, the Company is hereby identifying important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement made by or on behalf of the Company. Without limitation, factors that
might cause such a difference include economic factors such as recessions,



                                       14
<PAGE>   15

inflation, higher interest rates, downturns in customer business cycles,
competition, surplus inventories, loss of a major customer, fuel price
increases, the inability of the Company's information systems to handle
increased volume of freight, and the lack of availability and/or insufficient
compensation of qualified drivers and independent owner-operators needed to
serve the Company's transportation needs. The Company disclaims any intent or
obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and
commodity prices. To reduce such risks, the Company selectively uses forward
purchase contracts for fuel. All such forward purchase transactions are
authorized and executed pursuant to clearly defined procedures.

Interest Rates

At September 30, 2000 and 1999, the fair value of the Company's total variable
rate debt was estimated to be approximately $20.8 million and $30.6 million,
respectively, which approximated carrying value based on the Company's current
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At
these borrowing levels, a hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates on
the debt would increase interest expense and decrease income before income taxes
by approximately $132,000 and $210,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999. This amount was determined by considering the impact of the
hypothetical interest rate increase on the Company's borrowing cost at the
September 30, 2000 and 1999 borrowing levels.

Commodities

The availability and price of fuel are subject to fluctuations due to factors
such as seasonality, weather, government programs and policies, and changes in
global production. To reduce price sensitivity caused by market fluctuations,
the Company from time to time will enter into forward purchase contracts. At
September 30, 2000, the Company had no outstanding commitments to purchase fuel.

The above market risk discussion and the estimated amounts presented are
forward-looking statements of market risk based on the assumed occurrence of
certain adverse market conditions. Actual results in the future may differ
materially from those projected due to actual developments in the market.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is, from time to time, a party to litigation arising in the normal
course of its business, most of which involve claims for personal injury and
property damage incurred in connection with the transportation of freight.
Management believes that none of these actions, individually or in the
aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
