Item 5. Other Events

Yellow Roadway Corporation is filing its unaudited pro forma financial information by quarter for 2003. The unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of Yellow Roadway Corporation as if the acquisition of Roadway Corporation (completed on December 11, 2003) had occurred as of the beginning of the 2003 fiscal year. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations of Yellow Roadway that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2003, and should not be taken as representative of the future consolidated results of operations of Yellow Roadway. These results are not comparable to the results of Yellow Roadway for the 2004 fiscal year due to the conversion of the Roadway entities’ reporting to a calendar quarter in 2004. The dates included in each of the Roadway Corporation 2003 reporting periods are indicated in the historical columns for each period presented.
