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 April 30, 2007, the results of its operations for the three and nine months periods ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. The tax provisions for the three and nine months periods ended April 30, 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 nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 14.4% and 10.3%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 27.0% and 24.0% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenues are generated in Canada. For the nine month period ended April 30, 2007, Canadian revenues accounted for approximately 37.4% of total consolidated revenue, compared to 35.3% for the same period in 2006. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 2.0% in the nine month period ended April 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 nine month period ended April 30, 2007 would have accounted for 36.9% of total sales.

Office Depot represented approximately 14.1% of net accounts receivable at April 30, 2007. 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 April 30, 2007 amount to $1,470 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. The Company recognizes a deferred rent liability for tenant improvement allowances within other long-term liabilities and amortizes these amounts over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense. For scheduled rent escalation clauses during the lease term, the Company records rental expense 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 (loss) and unrealized gain 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 nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

		Three months ended								Nine months ended
		April 30,								April 30,
		2007				2006				2007				2006
Net income		$	3,487			$	3,212			$	10,857			$	9,080
Unrealized gain on investments			35				34				67				42
Foreign currency translation gain (loss)			1,322				391				(666	)			1,851
Comprehensive income		$	4,844			$	3,637			$	10,258			$	10,973

3. Intangibles — net

At April 30, 2007, intangibles and related amortization expense for the three and nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 consisted of the following:

						Accumulated
		Asset				amortization				Net
Deferred bank financing fees		$	132			$	(116	)		$	16
Customer lists			80				(69	)			11
Trademarks and other			470				(162	)			308
Total		$	682			$	(347	)		$	335

		Amortization expense								Amortization expense
		Three months ended April 30,								Nine months ended April 30,
		2007				2006				2007				2006
Deferred bank financing fees		$	11			$	6			$	25			$	18
Customer lists			8				8				24				24
Trademarks and other			5				6				14				15
Total		$	24			$	20			$	63			$	57

Amortization of deferred bank financing fees is classified as interest expense in the condensed statements of consolidated operations. Estimated amortization expense for the succeeding five fiscal years, including deferred bank financing fees, is $76 for 2007, $31 for 2008 and $19 each year thereafter.

Diluted		$	0.32			$	0.29			$	1.01			$	0.80

5. Repurchase of Equity Securities

The Board of Directors has authorized management to purchase up to $38 million of Dynamex Inc. common stock. During the nine months ended April 30, 2007, the Company purchased and retired 90 shares at an average price of $22.34 for a total cost of $2,021. 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. 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”), in 2005, 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 assessment has been paid, and the Company intends to file a Refund Claim within the 60 day statutory period.

DYNAMEX INC.

The California EDD conducted an employment tax audit of the Company’s other California operations in 2006. Based on its conclusion that independent contractors used by the Company in California should be reclassified as employees, a Notice of Assessment was issued by the EDD in April 2007 in the amount of $2.8 million, $2.0 of which the EDD claims represents personal income tax of the reclassified individuals. The Company has filed a Petition for Reassessment and intends to vigorously contest the assessment.

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 of the agreement, 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.

In December 2006, Dynamex Canada received approximately $1.35 million Cdn from the CRA in income tax refunds for tax years 2001 to 2003 and approximately $345 Cdn in interest on the overpayment of such Canadian income taxes. The effects of the foreign currency transaction gain and the total interest income of $425 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 ($0.10 per basic share for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, respectively, and $0.09 per fully diluted share for the nine months ended April 30, 2007). Excluding the impact of this transaction, fully diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, would have been $0.92 as shown in the following table:

DYNAMEX INC.

8. Provision for Income Taxes

Total income tax expense was $6.0 million, 35.8% of income before taxes in the current nine-month period compared to $5.3 million, 36.9% of income before taxes in the same period of 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 $5.7 million, 36.5% of income before taxes as shown in Footnote 7 above. Income tax expense for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was $1.9 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period of the prior year. The effective tax rate was 35.8% for the current quarter compared to 39.5% for the prior year. The current year quarter includes a positive tax adjustment of approximately $80. Excluding the adjustment, the effective tax rate would have been approximately 37.5%. The effective income tax rate for the prior year was adjusted to reflect the impact of increased taxable earnings associated with dividends received from the Company’s Canadian subsidiary that resulted in an increase in the U.S. federal income tax rate from 34% to 35% and from the “true-up” of the estimated state income tax rates based on actual tax returns for tax year 2005. The current year tax rate includes the impact of the new Texas margin tax, “true-up” of estimated state income taxes based on actual returns for tax year 2006 and a slightly lower 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 Cdn to plaintiffs, bringing the total amount of costs to approximately $400 Cdn. In April 2007, Mr. Bishop settled this matter by paying the Company $19 Cdn in cash and surrendering 8,500 previously issued but unexercised stock option grants.

Item 2.

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 nine month period ended April 30, 2007, Canadian revenues accounted for approximately 37.4% of total consolidated revenue, compared to 35.3% for the same period in 2006. The exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 2.0% in the nine month period ended April 30, 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 nine month period ended April 30, 2007 would have accounted for 36.9% 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 consist 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 nine months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, sales to Office Depot, Inc. represented approximately 14.4% and 10.3%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated sales. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers, including Office Depot, represented approximately 27.0% and 24.0% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the nine months ended April 30, 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 nine month period ended April 30, 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.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 (“SFAS 157”), “Fair Value Measurement,” This Statement establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. While SFAS 157 does not require any new value measurements, it may change the application of fair value measurements embodied in other accounting standards. SFAS 157 will be effective at the beginning of the Company’s 2008 fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this pronouncement, but does not expect the impact on our consolidated financial statements to be material.

Three months ended April 30, 2007 compared to three months ended April 30, 2006

Net income for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was $3.5 million ($0.32 per fully diluted share) compared to $3.2 million ($0.29 per fully diluted share) for the three months ended April 30, 2006.

Sales for the three months ended April 30, 2007 were $104 million, a 19.1% increase compared to the same period in 2006. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar was slightly lower this quarter than the prior year quarter, which had the effect of decreasing sales for the three months ended April 30, 2007 by approximately 0.3%. The Company estimates that higher fuel surcharges increased sales this quarter by approximately 0.2% compared to the prior year. The organic growth rate, the rate excluding the impact of foreign exchange and fuel surcharge, was approximately 19.2%. U.S. sales increased approximately 13.0% and Canadian sales, in Canadian dollars, increased approximately 31.2% this quarter compared to last year. The current quarter includes sales for services provided on an interim basis to one customer in Canada of approximately $4.0 million. We expect additional sales for this interim service to total approximately $2.0 million before the service ends in the FY 2007 fourth quarter.

Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 2007 increased $13.8 million, or 22.1%, to $76.3 million from $62.5 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 73.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2007, higher than the 71.8% for the same period in the prior year. Purchased transportation costs increased to 65.2% of sales this quarter compared to 64.7% last year, principally due to the decline in on-demand sales as a percentage of total sales. Although on-demand sales increased slightly this quarter compared to

DYNAMEX INC.

the prior year, it represented only 31.2% of total sales compared to 36.7% last year, due to the 29% increase in distribution and dedicated sales. The increase in other cost of sales from 7.1% in last year’s quarter to 8.4% this quarter was due principally to additional warehouse personnel, equipment and space required to support new business added this fiscal year.

SG & A expenses increased 14.2% to $21.3 million in the current year quarter compared to the same period last year. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 20.6% in current year compared to 21.5% in the prior year. Approximately $1.7 million of the dollar increase is attributable to salaries and employee benefits. Normal wage increases as well as additional personnel required to manage and operate new business over the last nine months contributed to the increase in SG & A expenses., We also added additional engineering capacity to optimize routing, enhance driver economics and reduce costs.

For the three months ended April 30, 2007, depreciation and amortization was $554,000 compared to $523,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to lessor financed leasehold improvements associated with the recent move of the corporate headquarters.

Other income, net for the three months ended April 30, 2007, was $45,000 compared to $55,000 for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is principally due to less interest income compared to the prior year.

Interest expense was $32,000, a decrease of $6,000 or 15.8% for the current quarter. The decrease below the prior year is primarily attributable to reduced borrowings this quarter. Interest expense was less than 0.1% of sales in both the current quarter and the prior quarter.

The effective income tax rate was 35.8% for the current quarter compared to 39.5% for the prior year. The current quarter includes a positive tax adjustment of approximately $80,000 related to the reallocation of franchise costs between Canada and the U.S. and a higher percentage of income before taxes generated in Canada which has a lower tax rate. The effective income tax rate for the prior year was adjusted to reflect the impact of increased taxable earnings associated with dividends received from the Company’s Canadian subsidiary that resulted in an increase in the U.S. federal income tax rate from 34% to 35% and from the “true-up” of the estimated state income tax rates based on actual tax returns for tax year 2005.The current year tax rate includes the impact of the new Texas margin tax, “true-up” of estimated state income taxes based on actual returns for tax year 2006 and a slightly lower effective income tax rate in Canada. See Footnote 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to nine months ended April 30, 2006

Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was $10.9 million ($1.01 per fully diluted share) compared to $9.1 million ($0.80 per fully diluted share) for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. Net income for the nine months ended April 30, 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 nine months ended April 30, 2007 were $305 million, a 15.7% increase over $264 million for the same period in 2006. The average conversion rate between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar increased 2.0% over the prior year period, which had the effect of increasing sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 by approximately $2.1 million (0.8%). 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 14.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 (12.5% in the U.S. and 20.1% in Canada). Canadian sales including fuel surcharges, in Canadian dollars, increased approximately 20.1% in the first nine months of the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 increased $33.6 million, or 17.5%, to $224.8 million from $191.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales was 73.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, compared to 72.5% for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. Purchased transportation costs increased to 65.4% of sales this period compared to 65.0% last year, partially due to the decline in on-demand sales as a percentage of total sales in the third quarter and the nine months of 2007 compared to the same periods of the prior year. Although on-demand sales increased slightly this year compared to the prior year, it represented only 33.3% of total sales compared to 37.3% last year, due to the 23% increase in distribution and

DYNAMEX INC.

dedicated sales. The increase in other cost of sales from 7.5% last year to 8.3% in this year was due principally to additional warehouse personnel, equipment and space required to support new business added this fiscal year. In addition, over the last three 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 nine months ended April 30, 2007 increased $6.4 million, or 11.4%, to $63.2 million from $56.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately $3.5 million of the dollar increase is attributable to salaries and employee benefits. Also, the current year quarter includes charges totaling approximately $1.0 million for additional space, computer licenses and support of $0.6 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 and additional engineering capacity to optimize routing, enhance driver economics and reduce costs. As a percentage of sales, SG & A expenses were 20.7% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, compared to 21.6% for the nine months ended April 30, 2006.

For the nine months ended April 30, 2007, depreciation and amortization was $1,742,000 compared to $1,464,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures which include 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 nine months ended April 30, 2007, was $1,777,000 compared to $219,000 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 cash settlement of those inter-company charges. These inter-company charges were denominated in Canadian dollars, the value of which increased in U.S. dollars from those prior year levels. See Footnote 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Interest expense was $260,000, an increase of $47,000 or 22.1% for the nine months ended April 30, 2007. 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 35.8% for the current period compared to 36.9% 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 $5.6 million, 36.5% of income before taxes. The current year tax rate includes the impact of the new Texas margin tax and a slightly lower effective income tax rate in Canada. See Footnote 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow provided by our operations and our revolving credit facility. Net cash provided by operating activities was $7.6 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to $7.9 million for the same period in 2006. The year-over-year decline is due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable in the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to the nine months ended April 30, 2006. The $10.5 million increase in accounts receivable is attributable to the 19.1% increase in sales (approximately $7.0 million) with the remaining increase generally due to temporary delays in collecting some of the new accounts. We expect that the percentage increase in accounts receivable will be more in line with the increase in sales by the end of the current fiscal year.

DYNAMEX INC.

Net cash provided by operations, prior to changes in current operating assets and liabilities, was $19.0 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 compared to $11.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 2006. This increase is attributable to higher net income of $1.8 million, a decrease in cash taxes of $2.4 million from the use of available deductions and tax credits (deferred income taxes), lessor financed leasehold improvements of approximately $2.0 million and $741,000 of non-cash rent expense.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 were approximately $3.3 million compared to $0.6 million in 2006. The 2007 expenditures include $2.0 million of lessor financed leasehold improvements. Management expects capital expenditures to be in the $4 million to $5 million range for the full fiscal year, excluding lessor financed leasehold improvements. The increase over previous estimates is an expectation that the Company may purchase certain assets including trailers and associated equipment needed to service a particular customer contract. Our cash flow from operations has been our primary source of liquidity, and we expect it to continue to be the primary source in the future.

Our revolving credit facility was initially established in 2005 and last amended in October 2006. The credit facility has no scheduled principal payments; however, the maturity date is currently extended to July 31, 2009. The revolving credit facility is secured by all of the Company’s U.S. assets and 100% of the stock of its domestic subsidiaries.

The revolving credit facility requires us to satisfy certain financial and other covenants, including:

		Requirement		Level at April 30, 2007
Ratio of funded debt to EBITDA		2.00 to 1.00		0.29
Total indebtedness		$20 million, including LOC’s		$5.2 million
Letters of credit sublimit		$7.5 million		$5.2 million
Maximum treasury stock purchases		$35 million		$23.6 million
Fixed charge coverage ratio		Equal to or greater than 1.50 to 1.00		1.68

The Company’s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was approximately $6.0 million (5.8% of sales) for the three months ended April 30, 2007, compared to $5.9 million (6.8% of sales) in the same period last year. The Company’s EBITDA was approximately $18.9 million (6.2% of sales) for the nine months ended April 30, 2007, compared to $16.1 million (6.1% of sales) in the same period last year. EBITDA margin for the nine months ended April 30, 2007 was positively impacted by the one-time benefit from resolution of prior year cross-border transfer pricing issues. Excluding this one-time benefit, EBITDA was $17.5 million (5.7% of sales). The decrease in EBITDA margin in both periods of FY 2007 (excluding the transfer pricing benefit) is primarily attributable to higher cost of sales, which was only partially offset by the reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, both as a percentage of sales. 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 $4.0 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.

DYNAMEX INC.

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 April 30, 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”), in 2005, 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 assessment has been paid, and the Company intends to file a Refund Claim within the 60 day statutory period.

The California EDD conducted an employment tax audit of the Company’s other California operations in 2006. Based on its conclusion that certain independent contractors used by the Company should be reclassified as employees, a Notice of Assessment was issued by the EDD in April 2007 in the amount of $2.8 million, $2.0 of which the EDD claims represents personal income tax of the reclassified individuals. The Company has filed a Petition for Reassessment and intends to vigorously contest the assessment.

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.

In addition to other information in this report, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating the Company and its business. This report contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth in the following risk factors and elsewhere in this report.

DYNAMEX INC.

Highly Competitive Industry

The market for same-day delivery and logistics services has been and is expected to remain highly competitive. Competition is often intense, particularly for basic delivery services. High fragmentation and low barriers to entry characterize the industry. Other companies in the industry compete with the Company not only for provision of services but also for qualified drivers. Some of these companies have longer operating histories and greater financial and other resources than the Company. Additionally, companies that do not currently operate delivery and logistics businesses may enter the industry in the future.

Claims Exposure

As of April 30, 2007, the Company utilized the services of approximately 4,700 independent contractor owner-operator drivers and messengers. From time to time such persons are involved in accidents or other activities that may give rise to liability claims. The Company currently carries liability insurance with a per occurrence and an aggregate limit of $30 million. Independent contractor owner-operators are required to maintain liability insurance of at least the minimum amounts required by applicable state or provincial law (generally such minimum requirements range from $35,000 to $75,000). The Company also has insurance policies covering property and fiduciary trust liability, which coverage includes all drivers and messengers. There can be no assurance that claims against the Company, whether under the liability insurance or the surety bonds, will not exceed the applicable amount of coverage, that the Company’s insurer will be solvent at the time of settlement of an insured claim, or that the Company will be able to obtain insurance at acceptable levels and costs in the future. If the Company were to experience a material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents, liability claims, workers’ compensation claims or unfavorable resolutions of claims, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs could reduce the Company’s profitability.

Certain Tax Matters Related to Drivers

Substantially all of the Company’s drivers at April 30, 2007 were independent contractors who own their own vehicles. The Company does not pay or withhold any federal, state or provincial employment tax with respect to or on behalf of independent contractors. From time to time, taxing authorities in the U.S. and Canada have sought to assert that independent contractor owner-operators in the transportation industry, including those utilized by the Company, are employees, rather than independent contractors. The Company believes that the independent contractor owner-operators utilized by the Company are not employees under existing interpretations of federal (U.S. and Canadian), state and provincial laws. However, there can be no assurance that federal (U.S. and Canadian), state, provincial authorities or independent contractors will not challenge this position, or that other laws or regulations, including tax laws, or interpretations thereof, will not change. If, as a result of any of the foregoing, the Company were required to pay withholding taxes and pay for and administer added employee benefits to these drivers, the Company’s operating costs would increase. Additionally, if the Company is required to pay back-up withholding with respect to amounts previously paid to such drivers, it may also be required to pay penalties or be subject to other liabilities as a result of incorrect classification of such drivers. Any of the foregoing circumstances could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and/or to restate financial information from prior periods.

Local Delivery Industry; General Economic Conditions

The Company’s sales and earnings are especially sensitive to events that affect the delivery services industry including extreme weather conditions, economic factors affecting the Company’s significant customers and shortages of or disputes with labor, any of which could result in the Company’s inability to service its clients effectively or the inability of the Company to profitably manage its operations. In addition, downturns in the level of general economic activity and employment in the U.S. or Canada may negatively impact demand for the Company’s services.

Foreign Exchange

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

DYNAMEX INC.

Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Canadian dollar is the functional currency for the Company’s Canadian operations; therefore, any change in the exchange rate will affect the Company’s reported sales for such period. The Company historically has not entered into hedging transactions with respect to its foreign currency exposure, but may do so in the future. There can be no assurance that fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation”.

Permits and Licensing

Although certain aspects of the transportation industry have been significantly deregulated, the Company’s delivery operations are still subject to various federal (U.S. and Canadian), state, provincial and local laws, ordinances and regulations that in many instances require certificates, permits and licenses. Failure by the Company to maintain required certificates, permits or licenses or to comply with applicable laws, ordinances or regulations could result in substantial fines or possible revocation of the Company’s authority to conduct certain of its operations.

Dependence on Key Personnel

The Company’s success is largely dependent on the skills, experience and performance of certain key members of its management. The loss of the services of any of these key employees could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s future success and plans for growth also depend on its ability to attract and retain skilled personnel in all areas of its business. There is strong competition for skilled personnel in the same-day delivery and logistics businesses.

Technological Advances

Technological advances in the nature of facsimile, electronic mail and electronic signature capture have affected the market for on-demand document delivery services. Although the Company has shifted its focus to the distribution of non-faxable items and logistics services, there can be no assurance that these or other technologies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.

Technology Infrastructure

The Company relies heavily on technology to operate its transportation and business networks, and any disruption to its technology infrastructure or the internet could harm its operations and its reputation among its customers. The Company’s ability to attract and retain customers and to compete effectively depends in part upon the sophistication and reliability of its technology network, including its ability to provide features of service that are important to its customers. Any disruption to its computer systems and web site could adversely impact its customer service, its ability to receive orders and respond to prompt delivery assignments and result in increased costs. While the Company has invested and will continue to invest in technology security initiatives and disaster recovery plans, these measures cannot fully insulate it from technology disruptions and the resulting adverse effect on its operations and financial results.

Dependence on Availability of Qualified Delivery Personnel

The Company is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain, as employees or through independent contractor or other arrangements, qualified delivery personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the needs of its operations. The Company competes in markets in which unemployment is generally relatively low and the competition for independent contractor owner-operators and other employees is intense. The Company must continually evaluate and upgrade its pool of available independent contractor owner-operators to keep pace with demands for delivery services. There can be no assurance that qualified delivery personnel will continue to be available in sufficient numbers and on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability to attract and retain qualified delivery personnel could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Acquisition Strategy; Possible Need for Additional Financing

The Company completed its last significant acquisition in August 1998. Currently, there are no pending nor are there any contemplated acquisitions. Should the Company pursue acquisitions in the future, the Company may be

DYNAMEX INC.

required to incur additional debt, issue additional securities that may potentially result in dilution to current holders and also may result in increased goodwill, intangible assets and amortization expense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing if necessary, or that such financing can be obtained on terms the Company deems acceptable. As a result, the Company might be unable to successfully implement its acquisition strategy. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Volatility of Stock Price

Prices for the Company’s common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the common stock, investor perception of the Company and general economic and market conditions. Variations in the Company’s operating results, general trends in the industry and other factors could cause the market price of the common stock to fluctuate significantly. In addition, general trends and developments in the industry, government regulation and other factors could have a significant impact on the price of the common stock. The stock market has, on occasion, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often particularly affected market prices for smaller companies and that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies, and the price of the common stock could be affected by such fluctuations.

Fuel Costs

The independent contractor owner-operators utilized by the Company are responsible for all vehicle expense including maintenance, insurance, fuel and all other operating costs. The Company makes every reasonable effort to include fuel cost adjustments in customer billings that are paid to independent contractor owner-operators to offset the impact of fuel price increases. If future fuel cost adjustments are insufficient to offset independent contractor owner-operators’ costs, the Company may be unable to attract a sufficient number of independent contractor owner-operators that may negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
