DYNAMEX INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Polices
Description of Business - Dynamex Inc. (the “Company” or “Dynamex”) provides same-day delivery and logistics services in the United States and Canada. The Company’s primary services are (i) same-day, on-demand delivery, (ii) scheduled and distribution and (iii) fleet outsourcing and facilities management.
Basis of presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Dynamex Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. All dollar amounts in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements, except per share data, are stated in thousands of dollars unless otherwise indicated. Except as otherwise indicated, references to years mean our fiscal year ending July 31, 2006 or ended July 31 of the year referenced, and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.
The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, although the Company believes the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results of the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006.
The accompanying interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at January 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the three and six months periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the six-month periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006. The tax provisions for the three and six months periods ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 are based upon management’s estimates of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.
Business and credit concentrations — The Company’s customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region or industry. During the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 14.3% and 10.3%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 26.2% and 25.4% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated in Canada. For the six month period ended January 31, 2007, Canadian revenues accounted for approximately 36.7% of total consolidated revenue, compared to 35.2% for the same period in 2006. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 3.3% in the six month period ended January 31, 2007 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Had the exchange rate been the same as in the prior period, Canadian sales for the six month period ended January 31, 2007 would have accounted for 36.0% of total sales.
Office Depot represented approximately 18.9% of the net accounts receivable at January 31, 2007. There were no other significant accounts receivable from a single customer. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
Other assets – Recoverable contract contingency costs - The Company has recorded as an Other Asset certain costs related to contractually reimbursable contingency costs incurred in connection with the launch of certain contracts in accordance with EITF 99-5, “Accounting for Pre-Production Costs Related to Long-Term Supply Arrangements,” These costs will be recovered during the initial contract term, from a designated portion of the unit price specified in the contract. Should the contract be cancelled for any reason, the customer is obligated to reimburse the Company for any unamortized balance. Total recoverable contract contingency costs capitalized at January 31, 2007 amount to $1,531 compared to $581 at July 31, 2006.
Other long-term liabilities - During July 2006 the Company entered into a new lease for its U.S. corporate headquarters. This lease agreement contains tenant improvement allowances and rent escalation clauses. We recognize a deferred rent liability for tenant improvement allowances within other long-term liabilities and amortize

these amounts over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. For scheduled rent escalation clauses during the lease term, we record minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation.
2. Comprehensive Income
The three components of comprehensive income are net income, foreign currency translation gain and (loss) and unrealized gain (loss) on investments. Investments consist of payroll withholdings from participants in the Company’s deferred compensation plan that are invested in funds designated by the individual participants. Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:
                                 
    Three months ended     Six months ended

5. Repurchase of Equity Securities and Subsequent Event
The Board of Directors has authorized management to purchase up to $30 million of Dynamex Inc. common stock on the open market. Through July 31, 2006, the Company had repurchased a total of 1,219 shares at an average price of $17.66 per share for a total dollar cost of $21,538. During the six months ended January 31, 2007, the Company purchased and retired 54 shares at an average price of $20.12. On March 7, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to an additional of $8 million of Dynamex Inc. common stock on the open market, which brings the total authorized repurchase amount to $38 million. The approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan as of March 7, 2007 is $15.0 million. The Company intends to purchase additional common shares from time to time at prices acceptable to the Company.
6. Contingencies
On April 15, 2005, a purported class action was filed against the Company by a former Company driver in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, alleging that the Company unlawfully misclassified its California drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees, and asserting, as a consequence, entitlement on behalf of the purported class claimants to overtime compensation and other benefits under California wage and hour laws, reimbursement of certain operating expenses, and various insurance and other benefits and the obligation of the Company to pay employer payroll taxes under federal and state law. The plaintiff filed a Motion for Class Certification on November 2, 2006. The Company responded in a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification on November 29, 2006. A hearing was held on December 12, 2006, and on December 14, 2006, the Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification was denied. The Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal on January 5, 2007.
We believe that the Company’s drivers are properly classified as independent contractors and intend to vigorously defend this litigation. Given the nature and preliminary status of the claims, however, we cannot yet determine the amount or a reasonable range of potential loss in these matters, if any.
The California Employment Development Department (the “EDD”) conducted an employment tax audit of certain of the Company’s operations in California for the period April 2003 through March 2005. As a result of the audit, the EDD concluded that certain independent contractors used by the Company should be reclassified as employees. Based on such reclassification, the EDD made a $345 assessment plus accrued interest against the Company, the

bulk of which is for personal income taxes. The Company subsequently provided documentation to the EDD related to the original assessment which resulted in a reduction in the assessment of approximately $100. The Company has established a reserve for the estimated liability associated with the EDD assessment. The Company filed a request to extend the period to file a petition for reassessment citing failure of proper notice. The request was heard by an Administrative Law Judge on January 9, 2007. The request was denied on the basis the request for reconsideration was not timely filed. The Company has asked that new evidence be allowed to be presented and seeks to have the denial overturned. Should the denial not be overturned, the Company would be required to pay the assessment and then seek a refund.
On January 19, 2006, a purported class action was filed against the Company by an employee in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, alleging that the Company unlawfully failed to pay wages for work performed, for which they received no compensation as well as for overtime work for which they received no overtime pay to which the employees were entitled under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the New York Labor Law and the supporting New York State Department of Labor regulations (NYLL). The plaintiff seeks recovery of unpaid wages, overtime compensation, liquidated damages, additional liquidated damages for unreasonably delayed payment of wages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs under the action.
The Company and the plaintiff settled the purported class action in New York. The settlement did not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.
7. Other Income
In December 2006 the Company reached agreement with Canadian taxing authorities on the valuation of intercompany services performed by the U.S. on behalf of Dynamex Canada. The Canadian Revenue Authority (CRA) specifically challenged certain allocations of expenses between the Canadian and United States operations during audits of fiscal years 2001 and 2002. As a result, Canadian taxable income was reduced approximately $4 million with a corresponding increase in U.S. taxable income. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007 Dynamex Canada transferred cash to the U.S. in payment for services provided by the U.S. from 2001 to 2005 which resulted in a foreign currency transaction gain of approximately $937.
Dynamex Canada received in December 2006 from the CRA approximately $1.35 million Cdn in income tax refunds for income tax years 2001 to 2003 and approximately $345 Cdn in interest income on the overpayment of such Canadian income taxes. The effects of the foreign currency transaction gain and the total interest income of $425 received and accrued are recorded in Other Income in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.
Management recorded the net effects of the above described items during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Since the challenge by the CRA and the resulting transfer pricing studies were accounting estimates resolved during the second quarter, management considers it appropriate to record the effects during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The effect of this resolution was an increase in net income of approximately $972 ($0.09 and $0.10 per basic share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, respectively, and $0.09 and $0.09 per fully diluted share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, respectively). Excluding the impact of this transaction, fully diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, would have been $0.26 and $0.59 as shown in the following table:

8. Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s resolution of the cross-border transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 2001 through 2005 described in Footnote 7 above affected income tax expense reported in the three and six month periods ended January 31, 2007. Total income tax expense was $2.0 million, 34.8% of income before taxes in the current year quarter compared to $1.5 million, 35.5% of income before taxes in the prior year. Excluding the impact of the one-time benefit from the resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues, income tax expense would have been approximately $1.6 million, 36.8% of income before taxes as shown in Footnote 7 above. The current year tax rate includes the impact of the new Texas margin tax and a slightly higher effective income tax rate in Canada.
9. Related Party Transaction
The Company purchased Zipper Transportation Services Ltd. and K.H.B. & Associates LTD. (“Zipper”) from Mr. Kenneth H. Bishop, the principal owner, and Mr. Bruce Bishop effective August 16, 1996. Mr. Kenneth Bishop served as a Director of Dynamex from August 1996 until his retirement on February 14, 2007. In the Zipper purchase agreement, Mr. Kenneth H. Bishop indemnified the Company for the after-tax value of damages, losses, costs and expenses arising from claims or actions prior to the closing date. Effective November 16, 1996, the indemnification provisions of the share purchase agreement were amended to include only amounts above $160 Cdn. An action titled “Barron et al. v. Dynamex Canada Inc. et al was filed in January 1998, by twelve Zipper drivers alleging they were short paid for work performed on certain contracts. This action was settled on December 21, 2006 through a payment of $215

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions regarding Company operations and future prospects. Although the Company believes its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risk and uncertainty, including, among other things, competition, foreign exchange, and risks associated with the same-day transportation industry. These and other risks are mentioned from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Caution should be taken that these factors could cause the actual results to differ from those stated or implied in this and other Company communications.
General
The Company, through its national network of same-day delivery and logistics operations, is the leading provider of such services in the United States and Canada.
A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated in Canada. For the six month period ended January 31, 2007, Canadian revenues accounted for approximately 36.7% of total consolidated revenue, compared to 35.2% for the same period in 2006. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 3.3% in the six month period ended January 31, 2007 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. Had the exchange rate been the same as in the prior period, Canadian sales for the six month period ended January 31, 2007 would have accounted for 36.0% of total sales.
Sales consist primarily of charges to customers for delivery services and weekly or monthly charges for recurring services, such as facilities management. Sales are recognized when the service is performed. The yield (value per transaction) for a particular service is dependent upon a number of factors including size and weight of articles transported, distance transported, special handling requirements, requested delivery time and local market conditions. Generally, articles of greater weight transported over longer distances and those that require special handling produce higher yields.
Cost of sales consists of costs relating directly to performance of services, including driver and messenger costs, third party delivery charges, warehousing and sorting expenses, bad debts, insurance, and workers’ compensation costs. Substantially all of the drivers used by the Company provide their own vehicles, and more than 99% are independent contractors as opposed to employees of the Company. Drivers and messengers are generally compensated based on a percentage of the delivery charge. Consequently, the Company’s driver and messenger costs are variable in nature. To the extent that delivery personnel are employees of the Company, employee benefit costs related to them, such as payroll taxes and insurance, are also included in cost of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG & A”) include salaries and benefit costs incurred at the business center level related to taking orders and dispatching drivers and messengers, as well as administrative costs related to such functions. Also included in SG & A expenses are regional and corporate level marketing and administrative costs and occupancy costs related to business center and corporate locations.
Generally, the Company’s on-demand services provide higher gross profit margins than do local and regional distribution or fleet management services because driver payments for on-demand services are generally lower as a percentage of sales from such services due to the smaller size of the vehicle required. However, scheduled distribution and fleet management services generally have fewer administrative requirements related to order taking, dispatching drivers and billing. As a result of these variances, the Company’s gross margin is dependent in part on the mix of business for a particular period.
During the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 14.3% and 10.3%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated sales. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 26.2% and 25.4% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based on the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s critical accounting policies are set forth in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2006. As of, and for the six month period ended January 31, 2007, there have been no material changes or updates to the Company’s critical accounting policies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (FIN 48) that provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements. The Company will adopt FIN 48 on August 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48; however, we do not expect the adoption of this provision to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 in order to eliminate the diversity of practice surrounding how public companies quantify financial statement misstatements. In SAB No. 108, the SEC staff established an approach that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and the related financial statement disclosures. SAB No. 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company believes the adoption of SAB No. 108 will have no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Three months ended January 31, 2007 compared to three months ended January 31, 2006
Net income for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was $3.7 million ($0.35 per fully diluted share) compared to $2.7 million ($0.24 per fully diluted share) for the three months ended January 31, 2006. Net income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, included approximately $972,000 ($0.09 per fully diluted share) from the resolution of prior year cross border transfer pricing issues with the Canadian tax authorities. See Footnote 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sales for the three months ended January 31, 2007 were $101 million, a 17.0% increase compared to the same period in 2006. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar was slightly higher this quarter than the prior year quarter, which had the effect of increasing sales for the three months ended January 31, 2007 by approximately 0.2%. The Company estimates that lower fuel surcharges reduced sales this quarter by approximately 0.5% compared to the prior year. The organic growth rate, the rate excluding the impact of foreign exchange and fuel surcharge, was approximately 17.3%. U.S. sales increased approximately 15.2% and Canadian sales, in Canadian dollars, increased approximately 18.8% this quarter compared to last year.
Cost of sales for the three months ended January 31, 2007 increased $12.2 million, or 19.5%, to $74.8 million from $62.6 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 74.1% for the three months ended January 31, 2007, higher than the 72.5% for the same period in the prior year. Over the last two quarters, we substantially increased sales with attractively priced new contracts; however, the customers’ short time window for implementation caused a number of large and complex startups to be initiated almost simultaneously. And due to the short time frame for implementation, we primarily used existing employees to operate and manage

this new business which stretched our operational and management capacity. As a result, the period normally required to stabilize and fully optimize the new operations has taken longer and the costs have been higher than we originally forecasted resulting in the increase in cost of sales. In addition, we added additional warehouse space and labor to service the new business.
SG & A expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2007 increased $2.3 million, or 12.0%, to $21.4 million from $19.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $1.1 million of the dollar increase is attributable to salaries and employee benefits. Also, the current year quarter includes charges totaling approximately $0.4 million for additional space, computer licenses and support of $0.3 million and professional fees and start-up cost of $0.3 million. The increase in compensation results from normal increases in salaries plus additional personnel added over the last year to operate and manage new business. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 21.2% for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to 22.1% in the same period last year.
For the three months ended January 31, 2007, depreciation and amortization was $596,000 compared to $448,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures including lessor financed leasehold improvements associated with the recent move of the corporate headquarters, the acquisition of new route optimization software and the installation at corporate headquarters of a voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) telephone system late in FY 2006.
Other income, net for the three months ended January 31, 2007, was $1,640,000 compared to $57,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase is principally attributable to the resolution of cross-border transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 2001 through 2005. As a result, the Company realized interest income of approximately $425,000 from the overpayment of prior year Canadian taxes without a corresponding increase in interest expense from the U.S. as the Company had available net operating losses to offset the additional income, and the realization of $937,000 in foreign currency transaction gains from the payment of those inter-company charges. The prior year inter-company charges were denominated in Canadian dollars, the value of which increased in U.S. dollars from those prior year levels. Remaining amounts in other income, including investment income, increased approximately $210,000 in the current year quarter compared to the prior year.
Interest expense was $116,000, a increase of $26,000 or 28.9% for the current quarter. The increase over the prior year is primarily attributable to a higher average outstanding debt and a higher average interest rate. Interest expense as a percentage of sales, was 0.1% in the current quarter compared to 0.1% in the prior period.
The effective income tax rate was 34.8% for the current quarter compared to 35.7% for the prior year. Excluding the impact of the one-time benefit from the resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues, income tax expense would have been approximately $1.6 million, 36.8% of income before taxes. The current year tax rate includes the impact of the new Texas margin tax and a slightly higher effective income tax rate in Canada. See Footnote 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Six months ended January 31, 2007 compared to six months ended January 31, 2006
Net income for the six months ended January 31, 2007 was $7.4 million ($0.68 per fully diluted share) compared to $5.9 million ($0.51 per fully diluted share) for the six months ended January 31, 2006. Net income for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, was favorably impacted by approximately $972,000 ($0.09 per fully diluted share) from the settlement of cross border transfer pricing issues with the Canadian tax authorities. See Footnote 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sales for the six months ended January 31, 2007 were $202 million, an 14.0% increase over $177 million for the same period in 2006. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 3.3% over the prior year period, which had the effect of increasing sales for the six months ended January 31, 2007 by approximately $2.2 million (1.2%). Also during the period, fuel surcharges included in consolidated sales were essentially unchanged this year compared to last year. The core growth rate, the rate excluding the impact of the fuel surcharge and changes in the foreign exchange rate, was approximately 12.6% for the six months ended January 31, 2007 (11.1% in the U.S. and 15.0% in Canada). Canadian sales including fuel surcharges, in Canadian dollars, increased approximately 14.8% in the first six months of the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year.

Cost of sales for the six months ended January 31, 2007 increased $19.7 million, or 15.3%, to $148.5 million from $128.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 73.7% for the six months ended January 31, 2007, compared to 72.8% for the six months ended January 31, 2006. Over the last two quarters, we substantially increased sales with attractively priced new contracts; however, the customers’ short time window for implementation caused a number of large and complex startups to be initiated almost simultaneously. And due to the short time frame for implementation, we primarily used existing employees to operate and manage this new business which stretched our operational and management capacity. As a result, the period normally required to stabilize and fully optimize the new operations has taken longer and the costs have been higher than we originally forecast resulting in an increase in the cost of sales. In addition, we added additional warehouse space and labor to service the new business.
SG & A expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2007 increased $3.8 million, or 10.0%, to $41.9 million from $38.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $1.8 million of the dollar increase is attributable to salaries and employee benefits. Also, the current year quarter includes charges totaling approximately $0.7 million for additional space, computer licenses and support of $0.3 million and professional fees and start-up cost of $0.5 million. The increase in compensation results from normal salary increases plus additional personnel added over the last year to operate and manage new business. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 20.8% for the six months ended January 31, 2007, compared to 21.5% for the six months ended January 31, 2006.
For the six months ended January 31, 2007, depreciation and amortization was $1,188,000 compared to $941,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures including lessor financed leasehold improvements associated with the recent move of the corporate headquarters, the acquisition of new route optimization software and the installation at corporate headquarters of a voice-over-internet protocol (VoIP) telephone system late in FY 2006.
Other income, net for the six months ended January 31, 2007, was $1,732,000 compared to $164,000 for the same period in the prior year. This increase is principally attributable to the resolution of cross-border transfer pricing issues for fiscal years 2001 through 2005. As a result, the Company realized interest income of approximately $425,000 from the overpayment of prior year Canadian taxes without a corresponding increase in interest expense from the U.S. as the Company had available net operating losses to offset the additional income, and the realization of $937,000 in foreign currency transaction gains on those inter-company charges. The prior year inter-company charges were denominated in Canadian dollars, the value of which increased in U.S. dollars from those prior year levels. Remaining amounts in other income, including investment income, increased approximately $233,000 in the current year period compared to the prior year. See Footnote 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense was $228,000, an increase of $53,000 or 30.3% for the current quarter. The increase over the prior year is primarily attributable to a higher average outstanding debt and a higher average interest rate. Interest expense as a percentage of sales, was 0.1% in the current quarter compared to 0.1% in the prior period.
The effective income tax rate was 35.9% for the current period compared to 35.4% for the prior year. Excluding the impact of the one-time benefit from the resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues, income tax expense would have been approximately $3.7 million, 36.8% of income before taxes. The current year tax rate includes the impact of the new Texas margin tax and a slightly higher effective income tax rate in Canada. See Footnote 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.2 million for the six months ended January 31, 2007 compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2006. The large increases in accounts receivable in the six months ended January 31, 2007 and 2006, compared to July 31, 2006 and 2005 are due primarily to an increase in days sales outstanding along with the growth in sales. Management expects the increase in accounts receivable to be more in-line with the year-over-year growth in sales by the end of the third quarter of this fiscal year.
Net cash provided by operations, prior to changes in current operating assets and liabilities, was $13.3 million for the six months ended January 31, 2007 compared to $8.0 million for the six months ended January 31, 2006, assisted by lessor financed leasehold improvements of approximately $2.0 million and $532,000 of non cash rent expense.

Capital expenditures for the six months ended January 31, 2007 were approximately $2.7 million compared to $0.4 million in 2006. The 2007 expenditures include $2.0 million of lessor financed leasehold improvements. Management expects capital expenditures to be in the $2 million to $3 million range for the full fiscal year, excluding lessor financed leasehold improvements. The Company does not have significant capital expenditure requirements to replace or expand the number of vehicles used in its operations because substantially all of its drivers provide their own vehicles.
On April 22, 2005, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the March 2, 2004 $30 million Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) (together the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amendment decreased the facility from $30 million to $15 million, and reduced the applicable margin on LIBOR contracts from a range of 1.25% — 1.75% to 1.00% — 1.50%, based on the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Facility. The Amendment also extended the maturity date to November 30, 2008 from November 30, 2007, eliminated the financial ratio requiring a measurement of funded debt to eligible receivables, as defined and reduced the restrictions on Permitted Acquisitions. The Amended Credit Facility has no scheduled principal payments; however, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios related to minimum amounts of stockholders’ equity, fixed charges to cash flow and funded debt to cash flow, as defined. Amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by all of the Company’s U.S. assets and 100% of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also contains restrictions on incurring additional debt and investments by the Company.
Effective October 31, 2005, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to eliminate stock acquisitions of up to $25 million from the fixed charge coverage ratio calculation. On November 10, 2005, the Revolving Credit Facility was increased from $15 million to $20 million to accommodate temporary borrowings to fund the stock repurchase program.
On July 21, 2006, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2009, to permit aggregate treasury stock purchases up to $35 million, and to eliminate the requirement to maintain a specified amount of minimum stockholders’ equity. At January 31, 2007, total long-term debt was zero compared to $0.9 million at July 31, 2006 and $3.8 million at October 31, 2006. Letters of credit totaling $5.6 million were outstanding at January 31, 2007. On October 5, 2006, the Revolving Credit Facility was amended to increase the sub-limit for letters of credit to $7.5 million.
The Company’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was approximately $6.4 million (6.4% of sales) for the three months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $4.7 million (5.5% of sales) in the same period last year. The Company’s EBITDA was approximately $12.9 million (6.4% of sales) for the six months ended January 31, 2007, compared to $10.2 million (5.8% of sales) in the same period last year. The increase in EBITDA, as a percentage of sales, is primarily attributable to the increase in sales in both periods and the one-time benefit from resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues, which were offset only partially by the increase in selling general and administrative expenses mentioned above. Excluding the one-time benefit EBITDA was $5.1 million (5.0% of sales) and $11.5 million (5.7% of sales) for the three and six months periods ended January 31, 2007, respectively. EBITDA is supplementally presented because management believes that it is a widely accepted and useful financial indicator regarding our results of operations. Management believes EBITDA assists in analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of our business. Although our management uses EBITDA as a financial measure to assess the performance of our business compared to that of others in our industry, the use of EBITDA is limited because it does not include certain costs that are material in amount, such as interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, necessary to operate our business. EBITDA is not a recognized term under generally accepted accounting principles and, when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA in addition to, not as an alternative for, operating income, net income and cash flows from operating activities. The following table reconciles net income presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure:

Management expects that its future capital requirements will generally be met from internally generated cash flow. The Company’s access to other sources of capital, such as additional bank borrowings and the issuance of debt securities, is affected by, among other things, general market conditions affecting the availability of such capital.
Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations nor does it believe it will do so in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance the Company’s business will not be affected by inflation in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Exchange Exposure
Significant portions of the Company’s operations are conducted in Canada. Exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. and Canadian dollar result in fluctuations in the amounts relating to the Canadian operations reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company historically has not entered into hedging transactions with respect to its foreign currency exposure, but may do so in the future.
The sensitivity analysis model used by the Company for foreign exchange exposure compares the revenue and net income figures from Canadian operations, at the actual exchange rate, to a 10% decrease in the exchange rate. Based on this model, a 10% decrease would result in a decrease in quarterly revenue of approximately $3.7 million and a decrease in quarterly net income of approximately $0.3 million over this period. There can be no assurances that the above projected exchange rate decrease will materialize. Fluctuations of exchange rates are beyond the control of the Company’s management.
Interest Rate Exposure
The sensitivity analysis model used by the Company for interest rate exposure compares interest expense fluctuations over a one-year period based on current debt levels and current average interest rates versus current debt levels at current average interest rates with a 10% increase. Based on this model, a 10% increase would result in no material increase in interest expense. There can be no assurances that the above projected interest rate increase will materialize. Fluctuations of interest rates are beyond the control of the Company’s management.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of January 31, 2007 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q). Based upon the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On April 15, 2005, a purported class action was filed against the Company by a former Company driver in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, alleging that the Company unlawfully misclassified its California drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees, and asserting, as a consequence, entitlement on behalf of the purported class claimants to overtime compensation and other benefits under California wage and hour laws, reimbursement of certain operating expenses, and various insurance and other benefits and the obligation of the Company to pay employer payroll taxes under federal and state law. The plaintiff filed a Motion for Class Certification on November 2, 2006. The Company responded in a Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support of Defendants’ Opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification on November 29, 2006. A hearing was held on December 12, 2006, and on December 14, 2006, the Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification was denied. The Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal on January 5, 2007.
We believe that the Company’s drivers are properly classified as independent contractors and intend to vigorously defend this litigation. Given the nature and preliminary status of the claims, however, we cannot yet determine the amount or a reasonable range of potential loss in these matters, if any.
The California Employment Development Department (the “EDD”) conducted an employment tax audit of certain of the Company’s operations in California for the period April 2003 through March 2005. As a result of the audit, the EDD concluded that certain independent contractors used by the Company should be reclassified as employees. Based on such reclassification, the EDD made a $345,000 assessment plus accrued interest against the Company, the bulk of which is for personal income taxes. The Company subsequently provided documentation to the EDD related to the original assessment which resulted in a reduction in the assessment of approximately $100,000. The Company has established a reserve for the estimated liability associated with the EDD assessment. The Company filed a request to extend the period to file a petition for reassessment citing failure of proper notice. The request was heard by an Administrative Law Judge on January 9, 2007. The request was denied on the basis the request for reconsideration was not timely filed. The Company has asked that new evidence be allowed to be presented and seeks to have the denial overturned. Should the denial not be overturned, the Company intends on paying the assessment and seeking a refund.
On January 19, 2006, a purported class action was filed against the Company by an employee in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York, alleging that the Company unlawfully failed to pay wages for work performed, for which they received no compensation as well as for overtime work for which they received no overtime pay to which the employees were entitled under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the New York Labor Law and the supporting New York State Department of Labor regulations (NYLL). The plaintiff seeks recovery of unpaid wages, overtime compensation, liquidated damages, additional liquidated damages for unreasonably delayed payment of wages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs under the action.
The Company and the plaintiff settled the purported class action in New York. The settlement did not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Management believes that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity of the Company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
     No material changes have been made in the disclosure of risk factors from those set forth in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.
