                                   (UNAUDITED)





1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial reporting and the general instructions to Form 10-Q of
Regulation S-X and includes the results of Celadon Group, Inc. and its majority
owned subsidiaries. Accordingly, they do not include certain information and
note disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual
financial reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto of Celadon Group, Inc. (the "Company") as
of and for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001.

         The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (all
of a normal recurring nature) which management considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for these
periods. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be reported for the full year.

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


2.       ADOPTION OF CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING

         As of July 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," which addresses the financial accounting and reporting
standards for the acquisition of intangible assets outside of a business
combination and for goodwill and other intangible assets subsequent to their
acquisition. This accounting standard requires that goodwill be separately
disclosed from other intangible assets in the statement of financial position,
and no longer be amortized but tested for impairment on a periodic basis. The
provisions of this accounting standard also require the completion of a
transitional impairment test within six months of adoption. The transitional
impairment test has been completed and there is no impairment as of July 1,
2001, the date the Company adopted the provisions of this statement.

         In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company discontinued the

4.       SEGMENT INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

Inc., ("CTSI"), Servicios de Transportacion Jaguar, S.A. de C.V., ("Jaguar"),
Gerth Transport Ltd. ("Gerth"), Zipp Express, Inc., ("Zipp") and Cheetah

         The Company's largest customer is DaimlerChrysler, which accounted for
approximately 20% of the Company's total truckload revenue for the three months
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000. DaimlerChrysler accounted for 21% and 19% of
the Company's total truckload revenue for the six months ended December 31, 2001
and 2000, respectively. The Company transports DaimlerChrysler original
equipment automotive parts primarily between the United States and Mexico and
DaimlerChrysler after-market replacement parts and accessories within the United
States. The Company's agreement with DaimlerChrysler is an agreement for
international freight with the Chrysler division, which expires in October 2003.
No other customer accounted for more than 5% of the Company's total revenue
during any of its two most recent fiscal years.

5.       INCOME TAXES

         Income tax expense (benefit) varies from the amount computed by
applying the federal corporate rate of 35% to income before income taxes,
primarily due to state income taxes, permanent tax differences and Mexican taxes
being based on assets in lieu of income. The effective income tax rate for the
six months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were 53% and 28%, respectively.

6.       COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

         Total comprehensive income (loss) was $0.4 million and $(0.8) million
for the three months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Total
comprehensive income (loss) was $0.2 million and $(1.1) million for the six
months ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The difference between
the total comprehensive loss and net loss relates to the effect of foreign
currency translation adjustments.

of Cheetah, which included a non-cash charge of $3.2 million, related to the net
book value of goodwill and other intangible assets. For the three and six months
ended December 2000, Cheetah contributed approximately $7.3 million and $14.2
million respectively, to operating revenue. For the three and six months ended
December 2000, Cheetah contributed approximately $210 thousand and $450 thousand
respectively, in operating income.

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED WITH THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 2000

         Revenue. Consolidated revenue decreased by $7.7 million, or 9%, to
$79.3 million for fiscal 2002 from $87.0 million for fiscal 2001. Revenue for
fiscal 2001 included revenue from Cheetah and higher pass-through revenues
related to the Mexican portion of transportation. Adjusted for these items, last
year's consolidated revenue would have been $76.7 million. On a comparable
basis, excluding Cheetah and the pass-through revenues in the prior year,
revenue for the December 2001 quarter represented an increase of $2.6 million,
or approximately 3%. This increase is related to a 2% increase in volume. A
portion of the increase in mileage is related to the startup of a local shuttle
operation. Revenue for TruckersB2B was approximately $1.7 million in fiscal 2002
compared to $1.2 million in fiscal 2001. The TruckersB2B revenue for the
December 2001 quarter represents over $44 million in purchases made by its
member companies through the TruckersB2B network.

         The Company's fleet decreased from 2,705 tractors, including 959
owner-operated tractors at December 31, 2000 to 2,276 tractors including 787
owner-operated tractors at December 31, 2001. The decrease in owner-operated
tractors related primarily to the sale of Cheetah.

         Operating Income. Consolidated operating income increased by $0.9
million, or 69%, to $2.2 million in fiscal 2002 from $1.3 million in fiscal
2001. The increase in operating income was primarily a result of increased
revenue, decreased rent and purchased transportation, and decreased fuel offset
by increased salaries, wages and benefits and increased insurance expenses. The
Company's operating ratio, which expresses operating expenses as a percentage of
operating revenue improved from 98.5% in fiscal 2001 to 97.2% in fiscal 2002.

         Salaries, wages and benefits were 29.0% of operating revenues for the
three month period ending December 31, 2001 compared to 26.6% for the same
period in 2000. This increase is primarily related to driver pay for a local
shuttle operation. In addition, the Cheetah revenue and Mexican pass through
revenue decreased the percentage of revenue in fiscal 2001.

         Fuel decreased to 10.3% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2002
compared to 11.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2001. Fuel prices declined
approximately $0.25 per gallon in the December 2002 quarter compared to the
December 2001 quarter. In fiscal 2001, the increased revenue for Cheetah and
pass-through revenue resulted in a decreased percentage of revenue relative to
Company driven fleet miles.

         Insurance and claims expense was 3.1% in fiscal 2002 compared to 2.6%
for fiscal 2001. Insurance consists of premiums for liability, physical damage
and cargo damage. The Company's insurance program involves self-insurance at
various risk retention levels. Claims in excess of these risk levels are covered
by insurance in amounts the Company considers adequate. The Company accrues for
the uninsured portion of claims based on historical experience. The liability
premiums, which were renewed effective May 11, 2001, increased significantly
year-over-year.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


         Rent and purchased transportation decreased to 33.9% of revenue in
fiscal 2002 from 38.7% in fiscal 2001. The decrease in fiscal 2002 is primarily
related to reduced owner-operator expense caused by the sale of Cheetah. Also,
as pass-through revenue related to the Mexico portion of loads decreased, the
pass-through purchased transportation expense has also decreased. To offset
these decreases, trailer costs have risen slightly as the Company continues to
phase out 48-foot trailers and replace with 53-foot trailers. In addition,
tractor costs have increased as most new tractors added since December 31, 2000
have been operating leases.

         Net interest expense decreased by $0.8 million, or 31%, to $1.8 million
in fiscal 2002 from $2.6 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily the
result of reduced borrowings and reduced interest rates under the Company's
credit facilities.


SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
31, 2000

         Revenue. Consolidated revenue decreased by $13.3 million, or 8%, to
$162.2 million for fiscal 2002 from $175.5 million for fiscal 2001. Revenue for
fiscal 2001 included revenue from Cheetah and higher pass-through revenues
related to the Mexican portion of transportation. Adjusted for these items, last
year's consolidated revenue would have been $155.2 million. On a comparable
basis, excluding Cheetah and the pass-through revenues in the prior year,
revenue for the six months ended December 2001 represented an increase of $7.0
million, or approximately 5%. This increase is primarily related to 5% increase
in volume. A portion of the increase in mileage is related to the startup of a
local shuttle operation. Revenue for TruckersB2B was approximately $2.9 million
in fiscal 2002 compared to $2.1 million in fiscal 2001. The TruckersB2B revenue
for the six months ended December 2001 represents over $84 million in purchases
made by its member companies through the TruckersB2B network.

         The Company's fleet decreased from 2,705 tractors, including 959
owner-operated tractors at December 31, 2000 to 2,276 tractors including 787
owner-operated tractors at December 31, 2001. The decrease in owner-operated
tractors related primarily to the sale of Cheetah.

         Operating Income. Consolidated operating income increased by $1.7
million, or 57%, to $4.7 million in fiscal 2002 from $3.0 million in fiscal
2001. The increase in operating income was primarily a result of increased
revenue, and decreased rent and purchased transportation and decreased fuel
offset by increased salaries, wages and benefits and increased insurance
expenses. The Company's operating ratio, which expresses operating expenses as a
percentage of operating revenue improved from 98.3% in fiscal 2001 to 97.1% in
fiscal 2002.

         Salaries, wages and benefits were 29.1% of operating revenues for the
six month period ending December 31, 2001 compared to 26.7% for the same period
in 2000. This increase is primarily related to driver pay for a local shuttle
operation. In addition, the Cheetah revenue and Mexican pass through revenue
decreased the percentage of revenue in fiscal 2001.

         Fuel decreased to 10.9% of revenue for fiscal 2002 compared to 11.6% in
fiscal 2001. Fuel prices have declined approximately $0.24 for the six months
ended December 31, 2001 compared to December 31, 2001 in December. In fiscal
2001, the increased revenue for Cheetah and pass-through revenue resulted in a
decreased percentage of revenue relative to Company driven fleet miles.

         Insurance and claims expense was 3.4% in fiscal 2002 compared to 2.5%

expense caused by the sale of Cheetah. Also, as pass-through revenue related to
the Mexico portion of loads decreased, the pass-through purchased transportation
expense has also decreased. To offset these decreases, trailer costs have risen
slightly as the Company continues 48-foot trailers and replace with 53-foot
trailers. In addition, tractor costs have increased as most new tractors have
been operating leases in fiscal 2002.

         Net interest expense decreased by $1.0 million, or 20%, to $3.9 million
in fiscal 2002 from $4.9 million in fiscal 2001. The decrease was primarily the
result of reduced borrowings and reduced interest rates under the Company's
credit facilities.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2001
                                   (UNAUDITED)



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's primary capital requirements in fiscal 2002 will be for
the acquisition of revenue equipment. The Company has historically met its
capital investment requirements with a combination of internally generated
funds, bank financing, equipment lease financing (both capitalized and
operating) and the issuance of common stock. Management believes that there are
presently adequate sources of secured equipment financing together with its
existing credit facilities and cash flow from operations to provide sufficient
funds to meet the Company's anticipated working capital requirements.
Furthermore, sources available under the Company's credit facilities are
dependant upon the Company maintaining compliance with its covenants or
obtaining waivers or amendments with respect to future covenant violations.

         The Company's primary source of cash flow for fiscal 2002 was provided
by operating activities. The net cash provided by operations in the six months
ending December 31, 2001 was $11.7 million compared to $4.8 million in the same
period in 2000. The increase in fiscal 2002 was the result of a reduction in the
day's sales outstanding in trade receivables, collection of the Cheetah trade
receivables offset by a reduction of accrued expenses.

         Net cash provided by investing activities decreased to $1.0 million in
fiscal 2002 from $7.2 million in fiscal 2001. This primarily relates to the
purchase and sale of revenue equipment as the Company continues to trade older
equipment for new equipment. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had no revenue
equipment on order.

         Net cash used in financing activities was $13.5 million in fiscal 2002
compared to $12.0 million in fiscal 2001. Financing activity generally
represents bank borrowings (payment and proceeds) and payment of capital lease
obligations. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding debt of $92.4
million. This debt consists of $48.3 million of capital lease obligations, $13.8
million of term loan debt, $23.6 million of revolver loan debt, $3.0 million of
mortgage debt relating to equipment, $2.9 million of mortgage debt relating to
property and $0.8 million of other debt. Interest rates on this debt range from
5.8% to 8.0%.

         The Company has a $65 million banking facility ("credit agreement")
with ING (U.S.) Capital LLC. The arrangement includes a $35 million revolving
loan and a $30 million term loan. In December 2001, the Company's credit
agreement with ING was amended to reflect modifications to the Company's
covenants and other provisions. The revolving credit termination date was
amended to September 30, 2003. Interest is based, at the Company's option, upon
either the bank's base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.5% or the
London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin ranging from 2.0% to 3.5% depending
upon performance by the Company.

         Standby letters of credit, not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, aggregated approximately $1.8 million at
December 31, 2001.

SEASONALITY

         To date, the Company's revenues have not shown any significant seasonal
pattern. However, because the Company's primary traffic lane is between the
Midwest United States and Mexico, winter may have an unfavorable impact upon the
Company's results of operations. Also, many manufacturers close or curtail their
operations during holiday periods, and observe vacation shutdowns, which may
impact the Company's operations in any particular period.

INFLATION

         Many of the Company's operating expenses, including fuel costs and
related fuel taxes, are sensitive to the effects of inflation, which could
result in higher operating costs. The effects of inflation on the Company's
business during fiscal 2002 and 2001 generally were not significant.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such comments
are based upon information currently available to management and management's
perception thereof as of the date of this report being filed. Actual results of
the Company's operations could materially differ from those forward looking
statements. Such differences could be caused by a number of factors including,
but not limited to, potential adverse affects of regulation and litigation;
changes in competition and the effects of such changes; increased competition;
changes in fuel prices; changes in economic, political or regulatory
environments; changes in the availability of a stable labor force; ability of
the Company to hire drivers meeting company standards; changes in management
strategies; environmental or tax matters; and risks described from time to time
in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers should take these factors into account in evaluating any such
forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in
foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and fuel prices. The Company
does not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.

         The Company is exposed to interest rate risk primarily from its credit
agreement with ING (U.S.) Capital LLC in which floating rates are based, at the
Company's option, upon either the bank's base rate plus a margin ranging from
1.0% to 2.5% or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus a margin ranging from
2.0% to 3.5%, depending upon performance by the Company. A hypothetical 10%
movement in interest rates would have an impact on net income of approximately
$187 thousand. In the event of a change of such magnitude, management would
likely consider actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change.

          Shortages of fuel, increases in prices or rationing of petroleum
products can have a materially adverse effect on the operations and
profitability of the Company. Fuel is subject to economic, political and market
factors that are outside of the Company's control. The Company has historically
been able to recover a portion of high fuel prices from customers in the form of
fuel surcharges. The Company from time-to-time will enter into futures contracts
and derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fuel price
fluctuations. As of December 31, 2001, the Company had 14% of estimated fuel
purchases hedged through March 2002. The Company recognized approximately $155
thousand of expense associated with these derivative contracts for the quarter
ended December 31, 2001. A hypothetical 10% movement on the price of fuel
futures would have an impact on net income of approximately $55 thousand.

         The Company's foreign currency revenues are generally proportionate to
its foreign currency expenses and the Company does not generally engage in
currency hedging transactions. For purposes of consolidation, however, the
operating results earned by the Company's subsidiaries in foreign currencies is
converted into United States dollars. As a result, a decrease in the value of
the Mexican peso or Canadian dollar could adversely affect the Company's
consolidated results of operations and equity.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         There are various claims, lawsuits and pending actions against the
Company and its subsidiaries which arose in the normal course of the operations
of its business. The Company believes many of these proceedings are covered in
whole or in part by insurance and that none of these matters will have a
material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of
operations in any given period.

         The Company is a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Reliance National
Indemnity Company ("Reliance") relating to one trucker's liability insurance
policy. The Company disagrees with Reliance and intends to vigorously defend
this lawsuit. This case is in the discovery phase and no trial date has been
set. On May 29, 2001, Reliance was placed in rehabilitation by the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and all activity on this case has been indefinitely stayed by
the Federal Judge presiding over this case. While there can be no certainty as
to the outcome, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter
will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position
or results of operations in any given period.
