UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in Thousands)
(Unaudited)
| 1. | UNION TANK CAR COMPANY (the “Company”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marmon Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), all of the stock of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by trusts for the benefit of certain members of the Pritzker family. As used herein, “Pritzker family” refers to the lineal descendants of Nicholas J. Pritzker, deceased. |
| 2. | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and the write-down of investment in aircraft direct financing lease, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. These interim financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K. |
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
The 2004 interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year 2004.
| 3. | As more fully described in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, under an arrangement with Holdings, the Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return of Holdings. As a member of a consolidated federal income tax group, the Company is contingently liable for the federal income taxes of the other members of the group. |
| 4. | The Company and its subsidiaries have been named as defendants in a number of lawsuits, and certain claims are pending. The Company has accrued what it reasonably expects to pay in resolution of these matters and, in the opinion of management, their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
| 5. | Foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses are borne by the Company’s parent. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s parent absorbed a gain of $3 and a loss of $7,260, respectively. |
| 6. | The Company’s short-term investments consist of commercial paper with original maturities between four and six months. |
| 7. | The Company’s foreign subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against currency exchange rate exposures. The notional amounts of the foreign currency forward contracts, all with initial maturities of less than one year, amounted to $7,357 at June 30, 2004. There were no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2003. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document as well as our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC in March 2004.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 may include certain forward-looking information statements, within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including (without limitation) statements with respect to anticipated future operating and financial performance, growth and acquisition opportunities and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation. Words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “will”, “believes”, “seeks”, “estimates”, and “should’ and variations of these words and similar expressions, are intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Company and its management are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of management at the time of such statements and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information or otherwise. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements made by the Company and its management as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examples of these factors include (without limitation) general industry and economic conditions, unanticipated changes in the markets served by the Company (such as the railcar leasing, service and sales, intermodal tank container leasing and metal products distribution industries), acts of terrorism, interest rate trends, cost of capital requirements, competition from other companies, changes in operating expenses, changes in prices and availability of key raw materials, governmental and public policy changes, changes in applicable laws, rules and regulations (including changes in tax laws).

Results of Operations
2nd Quarter 2004 versus 2nd Quarter 2003
Performance of the railcar leasing business improved in all major markets. Demand for existing railcar equipment is stronger, resulting in higher fleet utilization and improved lease rental rates. Demand for leased intermodal tank containers improved, resulting in fleet growth and higher utilization.
Second quarter revenues and gross profit from services were as follows:

| Gross profit from services |
$ | 69,099 | $ | 61,834 | $ | 7,265 | ||||
Services revenues in the second quarter of 2004 increased over the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in revenues related to sulphur processing (higher volume), a $1.5 million increase in railcar leasing and service revenues (improved utilization rates and equipment additions), and a $1.5 million increase in intermodal tank container leasing revenues (improved utilization rates and equipment additions).
Gross profit on service revenues in the second quarter of 2004 increased from the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to a $5.1 million improvement in railcar leasing (improved utilization rates, higher gains on disposals, and equipment additions) and a $2.2 million increase in the intermodal tank container leasing business (improved utilization rates and equipment additions).
Average utilization of the Company’s railcar fleet was 96% for the second quarter of 2004, compared with 93% for the second quarter of 2003. Utilization rates of the Company’s existing railcars are driven by long-term requirements of manufacturers and shippers of chemical products, petroleum products, food products, and bulk plastics, and suitability of the Company’s fleet to meet such demand. The potential impact of short-term fluctuations in demand is tempered by the longer-term nature of the leases.
Sales revenues increased primarily due to increased demand and prices for products of the metals distribution business.

Sales revenues for the second quarter of 2004 increased from the second quarter of 2003 primarily due to $48.5 million in higher sales of metals distribution products (higher demand and prices) and $3.1 million in higher sales of gear drives (higher demand).
- 15 -
Gross profit on sales in the second quarter of 2004 improved from the second quarter of 2003, primarily due to a $12.1 million increase for metals distribution products (higher volume and prices), a $1.4 million improvement from sales of railcars (lower costs from increased production volume) and a $1.2 million improvement for the gear drive business (higher volume).
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2004 of $17.5 million was $0.3 million lower than in the second quarter of 2003 due to lower interest expense from principal repayments of debt more than offsetting the interest expense related to new financing.
Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2004 of $58.6 million improved by $47.1 million over the second quarter of 2003. The improvement was due to the $24.5 million write-down of investment in aircraft direct financing lease in 2003 and the gross profit increases noted above.
Provision for income taxes was $23.6 million in the second quarter of 2004 with an effective tax rate of 40.3%, compared with $6.5 million in the second quarter of 2003 with an effective tax rate of 56.3%. The 2003 tax rate was affected by a reduction in anticipated foreign tax credits caused by the impact of bonus depreciation deductions.
Six Months 2004 versus Six Months 2003
Performance of the railcar leasing business improved in all major markets. Demand for existing railcar equipment improved, resulting in higher fleet utilization and improved lease rental rates. Demand for leased intermodal tank containers increased, resulting in fleet growth and higher utilization.

Gross profit on service revenues in the first six months of 2004 increased from the first six months of 2003 primarily due to a $6.6 million improvement in railcar leasing (improved utilization rates, higher gains on disposals, and equipment additions), a $2.8 million increase in intermodal tank container leasing business (improved utilization rates and equipment additions) and a $1.3 million increase related to sulphur processing (higher volume).

Sales revenues for the first six months of 2004 increased from the first six months of 2003 primarily due to $80.6 million in higher sales of metals distribution products (higher demand and prices) and $5.6 million in higher sales of gear drives (higher demand).
Gross profit on sales in the first six months of 2004 improved from the first six months of 2003, primarily due to a $19.3 million increase for metals distribution products (higher volume and prices), a $3.3 million improvement from sales of railcars (lower costs from increased production volume) and a $2.0 million improvement for the gear drive business (higher volume).
Interest expense in the first six months of 2004 of $34.3 million was $1.5 million lower than in the first six months of 2003 due to lower interest expense from principal repayments of debt more than offsetting the interest expense related to new financing.
Income before income taxes for the first six months of 2004 of $106.3 million improved by $61.9 million over the first six months of 2003. The improvement was due to the $24.5 million write-down of investment in aircraft direct financing lease in 2003 and the gross profit increases noted above.
Provision for income taxes was $42.9 million in the first six months of 2004 with an effective tax rate of 40.3%, compared with $18.5 million in the first six months of 2003 with an effective tax rate of 41.7%. The 2003 tax rate was affected by a reduction in anticipated foreign tax credits caused by the impact of bonus depreciation deductions.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Six Months 2004 versus Six Months 2003
Operating activities provided $103.5 million of net cash in the first six months of 2004, compared with $143.7 million in the first six months of 2003. These funds, along with proceeds from the issuance of borrowed debt, redemption of short-term investments and collection of funds previously advanced to parent, were used to invest in available-for-sale securities, finance lease fleet additions, pay dividends to the Company’s stockholder, and service borrowed debt obligations.
- 17 -
It is the Company’s policy to pay to its stockholder a quarterly dividend equal to 70% of net income. To the extent that the Company generates cash in excess of its operating needs, such funds, in excess of the amounts paid as dividends, are advanced to its parent and bear interest at commercial rates. Conversely, when the Company requires additional funds to support its operations, prior advances are repaid by its parent. No restrictions exist regarding the amount of dividends which may be paid or advances which may be made by the Company to its parent.
During the first six months of 2004, the Company invested $159.9 million in available-for-sale securities. The securities are investment-grade debt obligations with a combined weighted-average maturity under two years. The investments are available for the Company’s use to fund repayment of principal obligations, finance lease fleet additions (including the exercise of leveraged lease purchase options), or fund other operating needs.
During the first six months of 2004, the Company spent $146.8 million for construction and purchase of lease fleet and other fixed assets, compared with $126.8 million in the first six months of 2003. The increase in capital expenditures is primarily due to increased demand from leasing customers for new railway tank cars and intermodal tank containers. Since capital expenditures for railcars are generally incurred subsequent to receipt of firm customer lease orders, such expenditures are discretionary to the Company based on its desire to enter into those lease orders. Capital expenditures for intermodal tank containers are likewise discretionary in the intermodal tank container business.
In June 2004, the Company issued $300.0 million of unsecured senior notes. During the first six months of 2004, the Company’s financing activities included the use of $33.6 million for principal repayments on borrowed debt compared with $20.2 million in the first six months of 2003. Cash dividends were $44.0 million in the first six months of 2004 compared with $18.0 million in the first six months of 2003. Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2004 was $222.4 million compared with $38.1 million used in the first six months of 2003.
Management expects future cash to be provided from operating activities, long-term financings and collection of funds previously advanced to parent will be adequate to provide for the continued investment in the Company’s business and enable it to meet its debt service obligations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
At June 30, 2004, there had been no significant change to the Company’s exposure to market risk since December 31, 2003.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
The Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
