EXPLANATORY NOTE

On July 3, 2006, Velocity Express Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger providing for the Company’s acquisition of CD&L, Inc. (“CD&L”). The Company consummated the CD&L acquisition on August 17, 2006. On July 10, 2006, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2006 in which it indicated, among other things, that it would file an amendment thereto to present pro forma financial statements giving effect to the CD&L acquisition and related transactions. On September 19, 2006, the Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K/A to present, among other things, unaudited pro forma financial information giving effect to the CD&L acquisition and related transactions as of and for the year ended July 2, 2005 and the nine months ended April 1, 2006. The Company hereby further amends Item 9.01 of its Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 3, 2006 to present unaudited pro forma financial information giving effect to the CD&L acquisition and related transactions as of and for the year ended July 1, 2006 as set forth on the pages attached hereto.

As noted herein, the allocation of the purchase price as reflected in the pro forma combined financial statements has been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company’s management is currently assessing the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This preliminary allocation of the purchase price depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. These valuations could change significantly upon the completion of further analyses and asset valuations from those used in the pro forma combined financial statements, in which event the Company anticipates it would prepare and file a further amendment of the pro forma financial information.

Item 9.01 - Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.

Unaudited pro forma financial information as of and for the year ended July 1, 2006


UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements give effect to the Company’s acquisition of CD&L on July 3, 2006, and the related financing transactions on the historical financial position and results of operations of the Company and CD&L. The historical financial information set forth below has been derived from, and should be read in connection with, the Company’s and CD&L’s financial statements and notes thereto contained in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The unaudited combined balance sheet for the Company has been presented as of July 1, 2006 and the CD&L balance sheet has been presented as of June 30, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations of the Company and CD&L for the year ended July 1, 2006 give effect to the CD&L acquisition and the related financing transactions as if the transactions had been consummated on July 3, 2005 under the purchase method of accounting.

The allocation of the purchase price as reflected in the pro forma combined financial statements has been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Management is currently assessing the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This preliminary allocation of the purchase price depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, which are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. These valuations could change significantly upon the completion of further analyses and asset valuations from those used in the pro forma combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements do not include liabilities resulting from planning related to the operation of CD&L’s business in conjunction with that of the Company’s following the merger and adjustments in respect of possible settlements of outstanding liabilities (other than those already included in the historical financial statements of either company), as these are not presently estimable. Amounts preliminarily allocated to goodwill may change and amounts allocated to identifiable intangible assets with definite lives may increase or decrease, which could result in a change in amortization of acquired intangible assets. Therefore, the actual amounts ultimately recorded may differ materially from the information presented in the accompanying pro forma combined financial statements.

(o) Reflects the net of: (1) the preliminary value of $30.1 million allocated to the Bond Warrants from the proceeds from the Senior Secured Notes (This allocation is preliminary and may change, subject to the final valuation from a third party valuation expert. The final allocation of the proceeds between the Senior Secured Notes and the Bond Warrants could differ materially from the estimated allocation used for pro forma purposes), (2) the value of the warrants issued to advisors of $0.8 million, (3) the additional paid in capital on the new common shares issued, see (l) above, and (4) the value for the warrant issued to TH Lee Putnam Ventures as compensation for a letter of credit loan guarantee, all offset by the elimination of CD&L additional paid-in-capital.
