UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Unless the context otherwise requires, when used in this Exhibit 99.2 to the Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A, the terms Genesee & Wyoming, GWI and the Company refer to Genesee & Wyoming Inc. and its subsidiaries. All references to currency amounts included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A, including the financial statements, are in United States dollars unless specifically noted otherwise.

Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements

The following unaudited pro forma financial statements give effect to the purchase of certain assets of FreightLink Pty Ltd (receivers and managers appointed) (FL), Asia Pacific Transport Pty Ltd (receivers and managers appointed) (APT) and the other APT joint venture sellers (together with FL and APT, FreightLink or Asia Pacific Transport Consortium or APTC) by Genesee & Wyoming (FreightLink Acquisition). The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 is presented as if the FreightLink Acquisition had occurred on September 30, 2010. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations of GWI and FreightLink for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009 are presented as if the FreightLink Acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2009.

FreightLink’s fiscal year end is June 30 and GWI’s fiscal year end is December 31. Since FreightLink and GWI have different fiscal year end dates, the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are prepared based on comparable periods. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet was based on the historical balance sheets of GWI and FreightLink at September 30, 2010. The foreign exchange rate used to translate the FreightLink balance sheet to United States dollars was $0.97 for one Australian dollar (which was the exchange rate on September 30, 2010). The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was based upon GWI’s historical consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the sum of FreightLink’s historical quarterly statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2010. The foreign exchange rates used to translate FreightLink’s statements of operations to United States dollars were $0.90, $0.88 and $0.91 for one Australian dollar for the three months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2010, respectively (which were calculated based on average daily exchange rates during each of those periods). The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009, was based upon GWI’s historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the sum of FreightLink’s historical quarterly statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2009. The foreign exchange rates used to translate FreightLink’s statements of operations to United States dollars were $0.66, $0.76, $0.83 and $0.91 for one Australian dollar for the three months ended March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2009, respectively (which were calculated based on average daily exchange rates during each of those periods).

The FreightLink Acquisition is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (United States GAAP). Under the acquisition method of accounting, all identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated acquisition-date fair values. Management has made a preliminary estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on various estimates that are not yet final but that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances and which are described in the accompanying notes. The final determination of these estimated fair values is subject to completion of an ongoing assessment and may differ materially from the preliminary estimate.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on the estimates and assumptions which are preliminary and have been made solely for the purposes of developing such pro forma information. The pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying footnotes. The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma financial statements have been limited to only those adjustments that are: directly attributable to the transaction, factually supportable, and, in the case of the pro forma statements of operations, adjustments expected to have a continuing impact on GWI’s financial results. In addition, the pro forma financial statements do not include the impact of any potential operating efficiencies, savings from expected synergies, costs to integrate the operations or costs necessary to achieve savings from expected synergies or the impact of derivative instruments that GWI has entered into or may enter into to mitigate interest rate or currency exchange rate risk. The unaudited pro forma information is for information purposes only and is not necessarily an indication of the financial condition or the results that would have been achieved had this acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.


These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma financial statements, (ii) GWI’s historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in GWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, (iii) the audited financial statements of APTC and related notes included herein, (iv) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in GWI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, (v) GWI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2010 and (vi) the unaudited financial statements of APTC for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2009 through September 30, 2010.

1. CHANGES IN OPERATIONS:

On December 1, 2010, GWI completed the FreightLink Acquisition. Pursuant to the Business Sale Agreement, dated as of June 9, 2010, as amended (the BSA), with FreightLink and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, GWA (North) Pty Ltd (GWAN), GWAN acquired FreightLink’s freight rail business between Tarcoola, South Australia and Darwin in the Northern Territory of Australia, certain material contracts, equipment and property leases, as well as FreightLink’s plant, equipment and business inventory and the assumption of debt with a carrying value of A$1.8 million (or $1.7 million at the December 1, 2010 exchange rate) (the Corporation Loan) for A$331.9 million (or $321.6 million at the December 1, 2010 exchange rate).

On January 1, 2009, GWI adopted a new accounting standard in accordance with United States GAAP that changed the accounting for mergers and acquisitions. Under the new accounting standard, all acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred, rather than capitalized. GWI incurred $4.2 million of acquisition costs through September 30, 2010, and incurred an additional $24.0 million of acquisition costs in the fourth quarter of 2010, principally related to stamp duty (an Australian asset transfer tax).

GWI accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method of accounting under United States GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets and liabilities of FreightLink have been recorded at their respective estimated acquisition-date fair values and have been consolidated with those of GWI as of the acquisition date. The foreign exchange rate used to translate the pro forma balance sheet to United States dollars was $0.97 for one Australian dollar (which was the exchange rate on September 30, 2010). The preliminary acquisition-date fair values assigned to the acquired net assets reflected in these pro forma financial statements were as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

     AUD      USD  

Accounts receivable, net

   $ 161       $ 156

     330,712         319,600   
                 

Total assets

   $ 334,473       $ 323,235

Long-term debt

     1,806         1,745   
                 

Net assets

   $ 331,936       $ 320,784   
                 

GWI financed the FreightLink Acquisition by borrowing $100.0 million and A$97.0 million (or $94.0 million at the December 1, 2010 exchange rate), under its credit agreement, as amended. For a description of the material terms and conditions of the borrowings under the credit agreement, please see GWI’s Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 2008.

Upon the closing of the FreightLink Acquisition, in each case dependent on a ratio of funded debt to EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rental expenses), the range of applicable margins applied to borrowings are as follows:

 

    

Applicable Margin Changed from:

  

Applicable Margin Changed to:

Base rate borrowings

   low of 0.25% to high of 1.00%    low of 0.75% to high of 1.50%

LIBOR rate borrowings

   low of 1.25% to high of 2.00%    low of 1.75% to high of 2.50%

2. PRO FORMA STATEMENTS:

The “FreightLink” columns reflect APTC’s actual balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, and the sum of APTC’s historical quarterly statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2010, and the sum of APTC’s historical statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31, 2009. GWI’s subsidiary, Genesee & Wyoming Australia Pty Ltd (GWA), has historically operated FreightLink’s rail haulage services and provided its crews, managed its train operations and also leased locomotives and wagons to FreightLink. The “Eliminations” column reflects the intercompany transactions for freight rail services historically provided by GWA to FreightLink. GWI purchased only certain assets and assumed only certain liabilities of FreightLink as defined in the BSA. The “Net Assets Not Acquired” column eliminates these excluded balances at their historical amounts. The “Acquisition Adjustments” columns include the following pro forma adjustments:

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet:

 

  a. Represents the following components:

 

   

The cash payment of $0.9 million for debt issuance costs (see f. below).
