NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2005
(Unaudited)

1. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Greyhound” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim reporting and accordingly, do not include all of the disclosures required for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Additionally, certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period statements to conform them to the current period presentation. Due to the seasonality of the Company’s operations, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2005. For further information, see the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including the accounting policies and notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

In 1999, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Laidlaw Inc. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not reflect any purchase accounting adjustments.

On June 28, 2001, Laidlaw Inc. and certain of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the Canada Companies’ Creditors Arrangement. Neither Greyhound nor any of its subsidiaries were included in, or made party to, these reorganization filings and proceedings.

In June 2003, Laidlaw Inc. emerged from the court-supervised reorganization process and completed an internal corporate restructuring, in which Laidlaw International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, acquired all of the assets of Laidlaw Inc., a Canadian corporation. Laidlaw International, Inc. and its predecessor Laidlaw Inc. are referred to as “Laidlaw”. The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not reflect any fresh start accounting adjustments relating to the reorganization of Laidlaw.

2. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and changes in minimum pension liabilities as other comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, comprehensive loss was $22.6 million and $21.0 million, respectively.

3. PENSION PLANS

The Company has nine defined benefit pension plans. The largest plan (the “ATU Plan”) covers approximately 13,000 current and former employees, fewer than 600 of whom are active employees of the Company. The following table provides the components of net periodic pension cost for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended
	2005			2004
Components of Net Periodic Pension Cost

Service Cost	$	383		$	377
Interest Cost		11,194			10,836
Expected Return on Assets		(10,831	)		(10,006	)
Amortization of Actuarial Losses		2,771			3,461

Net Periodic Pension Cost	$	3,517		$	4,668

3. PENSION PLANS (Continued)

Plan Contributions and Potential Funding Requirements

Plan Contributions and Potential Funding Requirements

Laidlaw, collectively with all of its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries, including Greyhound (the “Laidlaw Group”), is party to an agreement with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation regarding the funding levels of the Company’s pension plans (the “PBGC Agreement”). Under the PBGC Agreement 3.8 million shares of common stock of Laidlaw were issued to a trust formed for the benefit of the pension plans (the “Pension Plan Trust”). On February 17, 2005, Laidlaw purchased all shares from the Pension Plan Trust at the closing market price for a total of $84.5 million. The proceeds from the sale were contributed to the pension plans in accordance with the terms of the PBGC Agreement.

The February 17, 2005 contribution has been designated by Laidlaw as a capital contribution to the Company and, accordingly, the Company recorded an increase in additional paid-in-capital and a corresponding reduction in pension obligations for the amount of the contribution.

In addition to the cash contributions to the pension plans pursuant to the PBGC Agreement described above, the Company expects to contribute $1.1 million to all plans other than the ATU Plan, for which there is no funding requirement in 2005. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company contributed $0.3 million to the plans.

The ATU Plan represents approximately 90% of the total obligations of the pension plans. Based upon current regulations, plan asset values at December 31, 2004, the additional contribution made on February 17, 2005 and assuming annual investment returns exceed 3% the Company does not anticipate any significant additional minimum funding requirements for the ATU Plan over the next several years. However, there is no assurance that the ATU Plan will be able to earn the assumed rate of return, that new regulations may not result in changes in the prescribed actuarial mortality table and discount rates, or that there will be market driven changes in the discount rates, which would result in the Company being required to make significant additional minimum funding contributions in the future.

4. CONTINGENCIES

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company is required to maintain a minimum cash flow to interest expense ratio, maximum indebtedness to cash flow ratio and minimum cash flow (the “Financial Covenants”) under its revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). As of March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of the Financial Covenants. Based upon historical and recent results and the current financial forecast, management believes that the Company will remain in compliance with the Financial Covenants through 2005. However, increases in fuel prices, softness in discretionary travel, or other unforeseen events or changes in assumptions may result in material differences between the Company’s future financial results or forecasts and the current financial forecast, and those differences could result in a change in managements’ assessment regarding compliance with the Financial Covenants.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s operations are subject to numerous environmental laws, regulations and guidelines adopted by various governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Liabilities are recorded when environmental liabilities are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. On an ongoing basis, management assesses and evaluates environmental risk and, when necessary, conducts appropriate corrective measures. The Company provides for environmental liabilities using its best estimates. Actual environmental liabilities could differ significantly from these estimates.

4. CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

Legal Proceedings

The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business, primarily cases involving personal injury and property damage claims and employment-related claims. Although these lawsuits involve a variety of different facts and theories of recovery, the majority arise from traffic accidents involving buses operated by the Company. The vast majority of these claims are covered by insurance for amounts in excess of the deductible portion of the policies. Management believes that there are no proceedings either threatened or pending against the Company relating to such personal injury, property damage and employment-related claims that, if resolved against the Company, would materially exceed the amounts recorded as estimated liabilities by the Company.

Insurance Coverage

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (the “FMCSA”) has authorized the Company to self-insure its automobile liability exposure for interstate passenger service up to $3.0 million per occurrence. To maintain self-insurance authority, the Company is required to provide periodic financial information and claims reports, maintain a satisfactory safety rating by the FMCSA, a tangible net worth of $10.0 million and a trust fund, initially set at $15 million, to provide security for payment of claims. At December 31, 2002, and continuing to date, the Company’s tangible net worth has fallen below the minimum required by the FMCSA to maintain self-insurance authority. The FMCSA granted waivers of the tangible net worth requirement through December 31, 2005, and, as a condition of the waivers, the Company has been required to increase the self-insurance trust fund to the greater of $17.7 million or 110% of the estimated unpaid liability for self-insured claims.

Insurance coverage and related administrative expenses are key components of the Company’s cost structure. Additionally, the Company is required by the FMCSA, some states and some of its insurance carriers to maintain collateral deposits or provide other security pursuant to its insurance program. At March 31, 2005, the Company maintained $50.6 million of collateral deposits (including $37.6 million in the FMCSA trust fund) and had issued $53.7 million of letters of credit in support of these programs. The loss or further modification of self-insurance authority from the FMCSA or a decision by the Company’s insurers to modify the Company’s program substantially, by either increasing cost, reducing availability or increasing collateral, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005 the Company sold one bus to Hotard Coaches, Inc., an affiliated company owned by Laidlaw engaged in the travel services business in the U.S. The Company sold the bus at a price that approximates the price it would have received from an independent third party.

Included in accounts receivable on the Company’s Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, are amounts due from Laidlaw or one of Laidlaw’s subsidiaries of $4.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Included in accounts payable at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, are amounts due to Laidlaw or one of Laidlaw’s subsidiaries of $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Business Overview

Greyhound is the only nationwide provider of scheduled intercity bus transportation services in the United States. The Company operates as one business segment with the primary business consisting of scheduled passenger service, package express service and food service at certain terminals. The Company’s operations include a nationwide network of terminal and maintenance facilities utilizing a fleet of approximately 2,700 buses. The Company uses a network of approximately 1,400 sales locations, which offers the customer the ability to travel to more than 2,200 destinations in North America.

The Company’s business is seasonal in nature and generally follows the travel industry as a whole, with peaks during the summer months and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods. As a result, the Company’s operating cash flows are also seasonal with a disproportionate amount of the Company’s annual operating cash flows being generated during the peak travel periods. The day of the week on which certain holidays occur, the length of certain holiday periods, and the date on which certain holidays occur within the fiscal quarter, may also affect the Company’s quarterly results of operations.

The following discussion and analysis presents factors which affected the Company’s consolidated results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 and the Company’s consolidated financial position at March 31, 2005. The following information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in this Form 10-Q as well as the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Overview of the First Quarter of 2005

During the first quarter the Company continued to implement its long-range strategic plan in the passenger business and continued to stabilize the business through its initiatives to enhance yield, reduce marginally profitable bus miles and reduce operating and general and administrative costs. These initiatives, along with a shift in the Easter holiday from April in 2004 to March in 2005, resulted in a 9.1% increase in revenue per bus mile, however, certain cost increases adversely impacted operating results. Compared to the prior year, the rising price of fuel resulted in a cost increase of $4.1 million. Additionally, the Company decreased the estimated average useful life and salvage value of certain older buses, which are expected to be disposed of as the Company further reduces miles, resulting in an increase in depreciation expense of $3.7 million. Because of these cost increases, the operating loss for the quarter increased $1.2 million compared to the prior year. Although the rising cost of fuel is a concern, the Company continues to address this issue through additional cost reduction efforts, both in general and administrative areas as well as by focusing on bus miles and operating performance.

In April, the Company completed the implementation of the second phase of its strategy in the Southwest region of the U.S., defined as the states of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. As part of the restructuring, the Company eliminated approximately 23 million annual bus miles, 174 sales locations and approximately 575 jobs. Because most of the locations being eliminated are agent-owned locations and many of the eliminated jobs are not eligible for severance pay, the Company will record an insignificant charge during the second quarter of 2005 for severance, real estate lease terminations and other implementation costs. The Company will now focus on the Southeastern region of the U.S. and plans to implement the strategy in this region in late June 2005.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2005 Compared to the Same Period in 2004

Operating Revenues. Total operating revenues decreased $9.3 million, down 4.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Passenger services revenues decreased $5.9 million, or 3.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004 even though the Easter holiday fell within the first quarter in 2005 as compared to the second quarter in 2004. The decrease is principally due to the 5.5% reduction in passenger miles offset somewhat by a 2.5% increase in yield. The passenger mile decrease was due to a 1.1% decline in passengers and a 4.7% decline in average trip length, indicating that short- and medium-haul trips continue to grow in proportion to total trips. This is largely due to the Company’s implementation of its long-term strategy to simplify its network by lowering frequency and eliminating marginally profitable and unprofitable routes, principally affecting long-haul corridors. As a result of the Company’s focus on controlling bus miles and due to the shifts in the Easter holiday, load improved by 6.9% and revenue per mile improved by 9.1%.

Package express revenues decreased $0.8 million, or 8.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The Company continues to experience reduced standard product deliveries (the traditional, low value, terminal to terminal market segment) as a result of continued competition as well as expanded and improved product offerings from larger package delivery companies. Although the Company is partially offsetting the revenue decline in its standard product by focusing on its same day or early next morning service, the increase in this product was not enough to offset the reduction in the standard product. Additionally, reduced locations resulting from the Company’s implementation of its long-term strategic plan contributed to the reduction in package revenue during the quarter.

Food services revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 2.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to the decrease in passenger traffic, particularly in the long haul markets.

Other operating revenues decreased $2.3 million, or 11.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease is principally due to decreased charter services and decreases in “meet and greet” and transportation services provided to cruise lines.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses decreased $8.0 million, or 3.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004.

Maintenance costs decreased $0.9 million, or 3.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. On a per-mile basis, maintenance costs increased by 10.1% principally due to higher average fleet age and fewer buses under warranty.

Transportation expenses which consist primarily of fuel costs and driver wages, decreased $4.6 million, or 8.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, principally due to the effects of operating fewer miles and lower driver training costs, partially offset by fuel price increases. During the first quarter of 2005 the average cost per gallon of fuel was $1.46 per gallon, compared to $1.04 per gallon during the same period in 2004, resulting in increased fuel costs of $4.1 million. Additionally, driver hiring and training costs were $0.9 million lower during the first quarter of 2005 compared to 2004 due to decreased hiring of new drivers.

Agents’ commissions and station costs decreased $2.1 million, or 5.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease is primarily due to lower terminal and call center wages and communication costs as a result of decreased ticket sales and slightly lower passenger volumes.

Marketing, advertising and traffic expenses increased $1.0 million, or 20.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase is principally due to management’s decision to increase targeted advertising spending as compared to the prior year, particularly in the markets impacted by the network restructuring to emphasize the improvements in the convenience and speed of service as a result of the network changes.

Insurance and safety costs decreased $0.1 million, or 0.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. On a cost per mile basis, insurance costs increased 13.1%. The increase is mainly due to adverse development on a few large prior year claims and inflationary increases in medical costs and wages.

General and administrative expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 9.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004 due principally to lower pension expense and decreased wages as a result of lower business volumes.

Depreciation and amortization increased by $5.0 million, or 35.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in the estimated average useful life and salvage value of certain older buses, resulting in $3.7 million of additional cost during the quarter. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2004 the Company revised its estimated life of buses from 18 to 15 years.

Operating taxes and licenses expense decreased by $1.4 million or 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease is due to lower fuel taxes as a result of the decline in miles operated and decreases in wage related taxes due to lower business volumes.

Operating rents decreased $1.6 million, or 8.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, principally due to expirations of bus operating leases.

Food services cost of goods sold decreased $0.3 million, or 4.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2005, compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the decrease in food services revenues.

Other operating expenses were comparable to the same period in 2004.

Interest expenses were comparable to the same period in 2004.

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased $0.2 million representing the tax expense related to subsidiaries that operate in separate return states.

Minority interests for the three months ended March 31, 2005, reflects the minority partners’ share of current year losses in the Company’s Hispanic joint ventures and were comparable to the same period in 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company requires significant cash flows to finance capital expenditures, including bus acquisitions and refurbishments, and to meet its debt service and other continuing obligations. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had $202.7 million of outstanding debt, implicit debt equivalent to $210.3 million for off-balance sheet bus operating leases and $60.9 million of outstanding letters of credit (which principally support recorded claims liabilities). The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flow from operations (which is net of cash charges for interest expense and lease payments under the Company’s bus operating leases), proceeds from operating lease or other equipment financing for new bus purchases and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. Generally new term financing (including bus operating lease financing) must be obtained to support the Company’s annual capital expenditure needs, particularly new bus acquisitions. However, the Company is currently in the process of implementing its long-range plan and, because of the bus mile reduction expected, plans to limit new bus acquisitions for the next several years.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $6.9 million, compared to $1.4 million in the prior year, an improvement during the current quarter of $5.5 million. Net cash provided by operating activities contains two components, cash provided by the Company’s operating results (defined as the sum of net loss and non-cash expenses and gains included in net loss) and cash provided by (or used for) changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating results in first quarter of 2005 is mainly due to an increase in non-cash related costs for depreciation expense. Net cash used for investing activities for the first quarter of 2005 was $15.4 million compared to $10.0 million during the same period of 2004. During the first quarter of 2005 the Company had higher capital expenditures than in the prior year principally due to purchases of buses at lease expiration. Net cash used for financing activities in the first quarter of 2005 and 2004 was $0.7 million for the repayment of debt.

The Company is party to a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that matures on October 24, 2006. The Company may elect to extend the maturity date an additional year, to October 24, 2007, provided that the Company meets certain terms and conditions. As of March 31, 2005, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility, issued letters of credit of $60.9 million and availability of $49.7 million.

Under its various debt agreements, the Company is required to maintain a minimum cash flow to interest expense ratio, maximum indebtedness to cash flow ratio and minimum cash flow, as well as certain non-financial covenants. As of March 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.
