NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(All Tables in Millions of Dollars)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of CSX Transportation, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“CSXT” or the “Company”) at June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001, the results of their operations for the quarters and six months ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature. Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. CSXT is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX Corporation (“CSX”).

While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in CSXT’s latest Form 10-K.

CSXT follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar. Fiscal years 2002 and 2001 consist of 52 weeks ending on December 27, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively. The financial statements presented are for the 13-week quarters ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, the 26-week periods ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, and as of December 28, 2001.

NOTE 2. INTEGRATED RAIL OPERATIONS WITH CONRAIL

Background

CSX and Norfolk Southern Corporation (“Norfolk Southern”) completed the acquisition of Conrail Inc. (“Conrail”) in May 1997. Conrail owns the primary freight railroad system serving the northeastern United States, and its rail network extends into several midwestern states and into Canada. CSX and Norfolk Southern, through a jointly owned acquisition entity, hold economic interests in Conrail of 42% and 58%, respectively, and voting interests of 50% each. CSX and Norfolk Southern operate over allocated portions of the Conrail lines.

CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“Norfolk Southern Railway”), the rail subsidiary of Norfolk Southern, operate their respective portions of the Conrail system pursuant to various operating agreements. Under these agreements, the railroads pay operating fees to Conrail for the use of right-of-way and rent for the use of equipment. Conrail continues to provide rail services in certain shared geographic areas (“Shared Asset Areas”) for the joint benefit of CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway for which it is compensated on the basis of usage by the respective railroads.

NOTE 2. INTEGRATED RAIL OPERATIONS WITH CONRAIL, Continued.

CSXT’s Accounting for its Integrated Rail Operations With Conrail

Upon integration, substantially all of Conrail’s customer freight contracts were assumed by CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway. As a result, CSXT’s operating revenue includes revenue from traffic previously moving on Conrail. Operating expenses reflect corresponding increases for costs incurred to handle the new traffic and operate the former Conrail lines. Operating expenses also include an expense category, “Conrail Operating Fee, Rent and Services,” which reflects payments to Conrail for the use of Conrail right-of-way and equipment, as well as charges for transportation, switching and terminal services in the Shared Asset Areas that Conrail operates for the joint benefit of CSXT and Norfolk Southern Railway.

Transactions With Conrail

The agreement under which CSXT operates its allocated portion of the Conrail route system has an initial term of 25 years and may be renewed at CSXT’s option for two five-year terms. Operating fees paid to Conrail under the agreement are subject to adjustment every six years based on the fair value of the underlying system. Lease agreements for the Conrail equipment operated by CSXT cover varying terms. CSXT is responsible for all costs of operating, maintaining, and improving the routes and equipment under these agreements.

At June 28, 2002 CSXT had no amounts receivable from Conrail, while at December 28, 2001, amounts receivable from Conrail totaled $3 million, principally for reimbursement of certain capital improvement costs. CSXT had amounts payable to Conrail of approximately $64 million and $88 million at June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001, respectively, representing expenses incurred under the operating, equipment, and shared area agreements with Conrail.

NOTE 3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

CSXT has an ongoing agreement to sell without recourse, on a revolving basis each month, an undivided percentage ownership interest in all rail freight accounts receivable to CSX Trade Receivables Corporation (“CTRC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX. Accounts receivable sold under this agreement totaled $985 million at June 28, 2002 and $966 million at December 28, 2001. In addition, through November 2001, CSXT had a revolving agreement with a financial institution to sell with recourse on a monthly basis an undivided percentage ownership interest in all miscellaneous accounts receivable. Accounts receivable sold under this agreement was $47 million at June 29, 2001. The sales of receivables have been reflected as reductions of Accounts and Notes Receivable in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The net losses associated with sales of receivables were $19 million for the quarter and $38 million for the six months ended June 28, 2002, and $20 million for the quarter and $39 million for the six months ended June 29, 2001.

CSXT has retained the responsibility for servicing accounts receivable sold to CTRC. The average servicing period is approximately one month. No servicing asset or liability has been recorded since the fees CSXT receives for servicing the receivables approximates the related costs.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES

At June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001, CSXT had deficit balances of $1.1 billion relating to its participation in the CSX cash management plan, which is shown as Due to Parent Company. Under this plan, excess cash is advanced to CSX for investment and CSX makes cash funds available to its subsidiaries as needed for use in their operations. CSXT and CSX are committed to repay all amounts due each other on demand should circumstances require. The companies are charged for borrowings or compensated for investments based on returns earned by the plan portfolio, which was 2.88% and 4.83% at June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, respectively. Interest expense related to this plan was $7.7 million and $16.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2002, and $7.6 million and $16.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2001.

Related Party Service Fees expense consists of amounts related to:

•

A management service fee of $77 million and $59 million for the quarters ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, respectively, and $154 million and $119 million for the six-months ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001, respectively, charged by CSX representing compensation for certain corporate services provided to the Company. These services include, but are not limited to the areas of human resources, finance, administration, benefits, legal, tax, internal controls and corporate communications, as well as strategic management services. The fee for 2002 is calculated as a percentage of CSXT’s revenue. Prior to 2002, the fee was calculated as a percentage of CSX’s investment in CSXT. As of June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001, $32 million and $42 million, respectively was payable to CSX and was included in Due to Parent on the Statement of Financial Position.

NOTE 5. RELATED PARTIES, Continued

CSXT participates with CSX Lines, LLC (“CSX Lines”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CSX, in four sale-leaseback arrangements. Under these arrangements, CSX Lines sold equipment to a third party and CSXT leased the equipment and assigned the lease to CSX Lines. CSX Lines is obligated for all lease payments and other associated equipment expenses. If CSX Lines defaults on its obligations under the arrangements, CSXT would assume the asset lease rights and obligations of $38.1 million at June 28, 2002.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

The Company has entered into fuel purchase agreements for approximately 50% of its fuel requirements over the next six months. These agreements amount to approximately 144 million gallons in commitments at a weighted average of 78 cents per gallon. These contracts require the Company to take monthly delivery of specified quantities of fuel at a fixed price. These contracts cannot be net settled.

CSXT also has a commitment under a long-term maintenance program for approximately 40% of the Company’s fleet of locomotives. The agreement expires in 2024 and totals $2.7 billion.

Contingencies

Environmental

CSXT is a party to various proceedings involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSXT has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at 82 environmentally impaired sites that are or may be subject to remedial action under the Federal Superfund statute (“Superfund”) or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSXT, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal. Such proceedings arising under Superfund or similar state statutes can involve numerous other waste generators and disposal companies and seek to allocate or recover costs associated with site investigation and cleanup, which could be substantial.

CSXT is involved in a number of administrative and judicial proceedings and other clean-up efforts at 206 sites, including the sites addressed under Superfund or similar state statutes, where it is participating in the study and/or clean-up of alleged environmental contamination. The assessment of the required response and remedial costs associated with most sites is extremely complex. Cost estimates are based on information available for each site, financial viability of other PRPs, where available, and existing technology, laws and regulations. CSXT’s best estimates of the allocation method and percentage of liability when other PRPs are involved are based on assessments by consultants, agreements among PRPs, or determinations by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or other regulatory agencies.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)—(Continued)

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued

Environmental, Continued

At least once each quarter, CSXT reviews its role, if any, with respect to each such location, giving consideration to the nature of CSXT’s alleged connection to the location (e.g., generator, owner or operator), the extent of CSXT’s alleged connection (e.g., volume of waste sent to the location and other relevant factors), the accuracy and strength of evidence connecting CSXT to the location, and the number, connection and financial position of other named and unnamed PRPs at the location. The ultimate liability for remediation can be difficult to determine with certainty because of the number and creditworthiness of PRPs involved. Through the assessment process, CSXT monitors the creditworthiness of such PRPs in determining ultimate liability.

Based upon such reviews and updates of the sites with which it is involved, CSXT has recorded, and reviews at least quarterly for adequacy, reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs were $32 million at June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001. These recorded liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSXT’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSXT believes to be immaterial. The liability has been accrued for future costs for all sites where CSXT’s obligation is probable and where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries. The majority of the June 28, 2002 environmental liability is expected to be paid out over the next five to seven years, funded by cash generated from operations.

The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. In addition, latent conditions at any given location could result in exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated. Based upon information currently available, however, CSXT believes its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition.

New Orleans Tank Car Fire

In 2001 CSXT reached a settlement of the New Orleans Tank Car Fire litigation, which was subject to a fairness hearing and court approval. The amount to be paid by CSXT under the settlement is $220 million, $85 million to be paid net of insurance recoveries. The fairness hearing occurred in April 2002, and the Court approved the settlement. The time has run for appeals. The Company is fully accrued for this settlement, which is subject to plaintiffs’ attorney’s reaching agreement with the group of plaintiffs. The Company expects that agreement to be obtained and the settlement is expected to be paid in 2002.

Contract Settlement

In July the Company received $44 million as the first of two payments to settle a contract dispute. The second payment of $23 million is due in January 2003. The accounting for the settlement is under review, and the Company believes some portion will be recognized in the third quarter of 2002, but will be primarily recognized ratably over the remaining 18 year life of the contract.

Other Legal Proceedings

A number of other legal actions are pending against CSXT in which claims are made in substantial amounts. While the ultimate results of these actions against CSXT cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently expect that resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on CSXT’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is also party to a number of actions, the resolution of which could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarter received.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

CSX Transportation (“CSXT”) follows a 52/53-week fiscal calendar. Fiscal years 2002 and 2001 consist of 52 weeks. The quarters ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001 each consisted of 13 weeks. The six-month periods ended June 28, 2002 and June 29, 2001 each consisted of 26 weeks.

CSXT earned $148 million in operating income for the quarter ended June 28, 2002, down $4 million, or 3%, from the $152 million reported in the second quarter of 2001. Operating revenue decreased to $1.54 billion in the current period from $1.56 billion in the same period of the prior year. Although volumes in the second quarter declined because of continued weakness in the national economy by 2% year-over-year, revenue declined by only 1% compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year because of the continued success of CSXT’s yield improvement program. Increased volumes for the phosphates and fertilizers, paper and forest, chemicals, emerging markets and automotive groups were offset by decreases in all other commodity groups. The metals, agricultural products, minerals, coal and coke markets realized price increases despite revenue declines.

Merchandise revenue was up $12 million or 1% over the prior year period. Merchandise volumes increased for the first time in two years, growing by 1% for the second quarter of 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. This increase was due to phosphates and fertilizers strong performance as well as year-over-year improved volumes in paper and forest, chemicals, and emerging markets. Strong demand and low inventory levels caused some metals shipments that normally move by rail to be diverted to trucks, which had a negative impact on metals volume. Agriculture and minerals volumes also were down in the quarter because of weakness in feed grains and foreign competition, respectively. Food and consumer products experienced revenue yield deterioration because of increased shipments in private rail equipment. All other merchandise commodity groups showed either flat or improved revenue yield compared to the prior year quarter.

Automotive volumes were up 6% versus second quarter of 2001 as manufacturers continue aggressive dealer incentive programs. Automotive revenue was up $18 million or 8% due to both rate and mix improvement.

Coal, coke and iron ore volumes were down 10% for the quarter versus last year. Coal, coke and iron ore revenue was down $38 million or 9% versus the prior year. Coal revenue yields were flat as rate increases were masked by volume pickup in shorthaul coal traffic that was converted to rail from truck.

The operating ratio increased to 90.4% for the quarter ended June 28, 2002 from 90.2% for the quarter ended June 29, 2001. Operating expenses decreased to $1.39 billion for the quarter ended June 28, 2002, from $1.40 billion in the same period in the prior year. This $14 million decrease resulted primarily from decreases in fuel and labor and fringe benefits, offset by an increase in related party service fees.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

Labor and fringe benefits decreased $13 million primarily resulting from increased crew productivity and net headcount reductions of approximately 1,700 from prior year quarter as part of a continued effort by management to eliminate inefficiencies, which was somewhat offset by inflation. The positive effect of lower fuel prices, which reduced costs by $20 million, was offset by $1 million in increased volumes. The net impact of reduced fuel price was $11 million since $9 million of fuel surcharge revenue was eliminated.

These operating expense decreases were partially offset by increases in related party service fees of $20 million, due primarily to the change in the management service fee charged by CSX to better reflect the transition from a more diversified transportation company to one that is primarily rail-based.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED

OUTLOOK

During the remainder of 2002, CSXT expects that its financial results will improve as the industrial sector slowly recovers from the industrial recession that impacted the company’s volumes negatively over the last seven quarters. CSXT believes it is ready to capitalize and benefit significantly from an economic recovery through the inherent operating leverage that it possesses. Even if an economic recovery does not materialize until 2003, CSXT still anticipates posting quarterly year-over-year improvements in earnings throughout the remainder of the year.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, CONTINUED

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act with respect to, among other items: projections and estimates of earnings, revenues, cost-savings, expenses, or other financial items; statements of management’s plans, strategies and objectives for future operation, and management’s expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved; statements concerning proposed new products and services; and statements regarding future economic, industry or market conditions or performance. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. If the Company does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual performance or results could differ materially from that anticipated by these forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among others: (i) the Company’s success in implementing its financial and operational initiatives, (ii) changes in domestic or international economic or business conditions, including those affecting the rail industry (such as the impact of industry competition, conditions, performance and consolidation); (iii) legislative or regulatory changes; and (iv) the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the Company. Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in the Company’s other SEC reports, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.csx.com.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is subject to risk relating to changes in the price of diesel fuel. Forward purchase agreements have been entered into with various suppliers for approximately 144 million gallons of fuel, which is approximately 50% of the remaining 2002 requirement, at a weighted average price of 78 cents per gallon. The Company is subject to fluctuations in prices for the remainder of its 2002 needs. A one cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would affect fuel expense for the remainder of 2002 by approximately $1.4 million.

CSXT participates in the CSX cash management plan, under which excess cash is advanced to CSX for investment. CSX than makes cash funds available to CSXT as needed for use in their operations, and are committed to repay all amounts due on demand should circumstances require. CSXT is charged for borrowings or compensated for investments based on returns earned by the plan portfolio. At June 28, 2002 and December 29, 2001, CSXT had a $1.1 billion deficit balance relating to CSXT’s participation in the CSX cash management plan, which is included in Due to Parent Company in the Statement of Financial Position. CSXT also had $108 million of floating rate debt outstanding at June 28, 2002 and December 28, 2001. A 1% increase or decrease in the interest rates would have an approximately $12 million effect on annual interest expense.
