Trinity Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we”, or “our”) including the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its partially-owned subsidiaries, TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) and RIV 2013 Rail Holdings LLC ("RIV 2013"), in which the Company has a controlling interest. In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of March 31,September 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months endedMarch 31,September 30, 2014 and 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the threenine months endedMarch 31,September 30, 2014 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Stockholders' Equity

On May 5, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a 2-for-1 stock split on its common shares. The stock split was issued in the form of a 100% stock dividend. The additional shares were distributed on June 19, 2014, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 5, 2014. All share and per share information, including dividends, has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 2-for-1 stock split, except for the statement of stockholders' equity which will reflect the stock split by reclassifying $78.0 million from "Capital in Excess of Par Value" to "Common Stock" representing the par value of the additional shares issued to effect the stock split.

In March 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a new $250 million share repurchase program effective March 7, 2014, that will expireexpires on December 31, 2015. The new program2015 and replaced the Company's previously authorized $200 million share repurchase program. Under the new program, 138,273407,100 shares and 747,246 shares, respectively, were repurchased during the three and nine months endedMarch 31,September 30, 2014, at a cost of approximately $10.0$19.0 million. and $31.5 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 1,079,882 shares and 3,668,378 shares, respectively, under the prior program at a cost of approximately $23.9 million and $73.8 million, respectively. Certain shares of stock repurchased during March 2014,September 2013, totaling $2.5$2.7 million,, were cash settled in April 2014October 2013 in accordance with normal settlement practices. No shares were repurchased under the prior program during the three months endedMarch 31, 2013.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues for contracts providing for a large number of units and few deliveries are recorded as the individual units are produced, inspected, and accepted by the customer as the risk of loss passes to the customer upon delivery acceptance on these contracts. This occurs primarily in the Rail and Inland Barge Groups. Revenue from rentals and operating leases, including contracts which contain non-level fixed rental payments, is recognized monthly on a straight-line basis. Revenue is recognized from the sales of railcars from the lease fleet on a gross basis in leasing revenues and cost of revenues if the railcar has been owned for one year or less at the time of sale. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet that have been owned for more than one year are recognized as a net gain or loss from the disposal of a long-term asset. Fees for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. For all other products, we recognize revenue when products are shipped or services are provided.

Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments to be either cash and cash equivalents if purchased with a maturity of three months or less, or short-term marketable securities if purchased with a maturity of more than three months and less than one year. The Company intends to hold its short-term marketable securities until they are redeemed at their maturity date and believes that under the "more likely than not" criteria, the Company will not be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk are primarily cash investments including restricted cash, short-term marketable securities, and receivables. The Company places its cash investments and short-term marketable securities in bank deposits and investment grade, short-term debt instruments and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one commercial issuer. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited due to control procedures

that monitor the credit worthiness of customers, the large number of customers in the Company's customer base, and their dispersion across different industries and geographic areas. As receivables are generally unsecured, the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon the expected collectibility of all receivables. Receivable balances determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. The carrying values of cash, short-term marketable securities, receivables, and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values. At September 30, 2014, one customer's net receivable balance in our Rail Group, all within terms, accounted for 10% of the consolidated net receivables balance outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," ("ASU 2014-09") providing common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP. Under ASU 2014-09, an entity recognizes revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires additional detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 will become effective for public companies during interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications
 
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in the consolidated statements of cash flows to conform to the 2014 presentation.

DuringAcquisition of Meyer Steel Structures

On August 18, 2014, Trinity completed its acquisition of the threeassets of Meyer Steel Structures ("Meyer"), the utility steel structures division of Thomas & Betts Corporation, a member of the ABB Group, for approximately $593.0 million in cash. Meyer is one of North America's leading providers of tubular steel structures for electricity transmission and distribution and is included in the Company's Energy Equipment Group. For the nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2014, the Company incurred $8.3 million in acquisition-related transaction costs which have been expensed in our Corporate segment and $1.5 million in non-recurring additional state income tax expense included in our consolidated provision for income taxes. Due to the size and complexity of Meyer, the purchase price was allocated on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date fair value using level three inputs. We expect to complete our purchase price allocation as soon as reasonably possible not to exceed one year from the acquisition date. Adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation could be material to the purchase price allocation. The following table represents our preliminary purchase price allocation:

Property, plant, and equipment72.1
Goodwill378.4
Other assets102.4
Accounts payable(15.4)
Accrued liabilities(11.7)
Total net assets acquired$593.0

Level three inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in determining the fair value of the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using level three inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are utilized only to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost effective to obtain. Goodwill, all tax-deductible, was primarily related to the value of Meyer's market position and its existing workforce. Based on our preliminary valuation, other assets include intangibles arising from the Meyer acquisition as follows:

In addition to Meyer, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we completed the acquisition of three businesses in our Energy Equipment Group located in the U.S. and Canada. TheCanada and one business in our Construction Products Group located in the U.S. These acquisitions were recorded based on preliminary valuations of the related assets and liabilities at their acquisition date fair value using level three inputs. Such assets and liabilities were not significant in relation to assets and liabilities at the consolidated or segment level. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting for a discussionThe valuations of inputsthe three Energy Equipment Group acquisitions were finalized as of September 30, 2014.

The operating results of our 2014 acquisitions, as summarized in determining fair value.the following table, are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from their date of acquisition, exclude transaction-related acquisition costs that are included in the Corporate segment, and include additional amortization expense resulting from the preliminary purchase price allocation:

(1) Included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. An entity is required to establish a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values are listed below:

Level 1 – This level is defined as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company’s cash equivalents, excluding commercial paper, and restricted cash are instruments of the U.S. Treasury or highly-rated money market mutual funds.

Level 2 – This level is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Interest rate hedges are valued at exit prices obtained from each counterparty. See Note 7 Derivative Instruments and Note 11 Debt.

Level 3 – This level is defined as unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The estimated fair value of our senior notes and convertible subordinated notes waswere based on a quoted market price in a market with little activity as of March 31,September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013,, respectively (Level(Level 2 input). The estimated fair values of our 2006, 2009, 2010, and 2012 secured railcar equipment notes, promissory notes, and TRIP Rail Master Funding LLC (“TRIP Master Funding”) secured railcar equipment notes are based on our estimate of their fair value as of March 31,September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These values were determined by discounting their future cash flows at the current market interest rate (Level 3 inputs). The carrying value of our Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) warehouse facility approximates fair value because the interest rate adjusts to the market interest rate (Level 3 input). The fair values of all other financial instruments are estimated to approximate carrying value. See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's long-term debt.

Note 4. Segment Information

The Company reports operating results in five principal business segments: (1) the Rail Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and related parts and components; (2) the Construction Products Group, which manufactures and sells highway products and other steel products and services for infrastructure-related projects, and produces and sells aggregates; (3) the Inland Barge Group, which manufactures and sells barges and related products for inland waterway services; (4) the Energy Equipment Group, which manufactures and sells products for energy-related businesses, including structural wind towers, storage containers, transport trailers, tank heads for pressure and non-pressure vessels, and utility, traffic, and lighting structures; and (5) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group (“Leasing Group”), which owns and operates a fleet of railcars as well as provides third-party fleet management, maintenance, and leasing services. The segment All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies; legal, environmental, and maintenance costs associated with non-operating facilities; and other peripheral businesses. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment that are related to manufacturing and dedicated to the specific manufacturing operations of a particular segment are included in operating profit of that respective segment. Gains and losses from the sale of property, plant, and equipment that can be utilized by multiple segments are included in operating profit of the All Other segment. Total assets of the Energy Equipment Group amounted to $1,158.5 million as of September 30, 2014. See Note 2 Acquisitions and Divestitures for further discussion.

Sales and related net profits from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group are recorded in the Rail Group and eliminated in consolidation. Sales between these groups are recorded at prices comparable to those charged to external customers, taking into consideration quantity, features, and production demand. Intersegment sales and net profit ("deferred profit") are eliminated in consolidation and reflected in the "Eliminations – Lease subsidiary" line in the table below. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profitsprofit of the Leasing Group, resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet are included in the Leasing Group, with related gains and losses computed based on the net book value of the original manufacturing cost of the railcars.

The financial information from continuing operations for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in North America.

Note 5. Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, TILC, formed two subsidiaries, TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, for the purpose of providing railcar leasing in North America. Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 are direct, partially-owned subsidiaries of TILC and are each governed by a seven-member board of representatives, two of whom are designated by TILC. TILC is the agent of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and as such, has been delegated the authority, power, and discretion to take certain actions on behalf of the respective companies. Each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 in turn has wholly-owned subsidiaries which are the owners of railcars. These wholly-owned subsidiaries are TRIP Master Funding (wholly-owned by TRIP Holdings) and Trinity Rail Leasing 2012 LLC ("TRL 2012", wholly-owned by RIV 2013). TILC is the contractual servicer for TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012, with the authority to manage and service each entity's owned railcars. The Company's controlling interest in each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 results from its combined role as both equity member and agent/servicer. The noncontrolling interest included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represents the non-Trinity equity interest in these partially-owned subsidiaries. The railcars owned by TRIP Master Funding were originally acquired from the Company's Rail and Leasing Groups by TRIP Rail Leasing LLC ("TRIP Leasing"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRIP Holdings. TRIP Master Funding acquired the railcars from TRIP Leasing in July 2011. TRIP Leasing currently owns no railcars and is not expected to acquire any railcars.
TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, through TRIP Leasing and TRL 2012, respectively, acquired railcars from the Company's Rail and Leasing Groups funded by capital contributions from TILC and third-party equity investors, and from secured borrowings. Railcars purchased from the Company by TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 are required to be purchased at fair value as determined by TILC and approved by the boards of representatives of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, respectively. The assets of each of TRIP Holdings, TRIP Master Funding RIV 2013, and TRL 2012 may only be used to satisfy the particular subsidiary's liabilities, and the creditors of each of TRIP Holdings, TRIP Master Funding RIV 2013, and TRL 2012 have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. Each of TILC and the third-party equity investors receive distributions from TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013, when allowed, in proportion to its respective equity interests, and has an interest in the net assets of the partially-owned subsidiaries upon a liquidation event in the same proportion. TILC is paid fees for the services it provides to TRIP Master Funding and TRL 2012 and has the potential to earn certain incentive fees. With respect to RIV 2013,TRIP Holdings as of September 30, 2014, TILC hadhas a commitment that expires in May 2016 to provide additional equity funding of up to $5.7 millionfor the purchase of railcars and satisfaction of certain other liabilities of RIV 2013 of up to $27.9 million as of March 31, 2014.TRIP Holdings. The third-party equity investors in RIV 2013 hadTRIP Holdings have a similar commitment that expires in May 2016 to provide up to $63.412.9 million of additional equity funding. In April 2014, the equity commitment of TILC and the third-party equity investors of TRIP Holdings were increased in anticipation of additional future railcar purchases with a corresponding decrease in the equity commitment of TILC and the third-party investors of RIV 2013. The third-party equity investors in TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 are the same, and the changes in equity commitments were primarily due to the expected debt financing associated with future railcar purchases. TILC and the third-party equity investors may have additional commitments to provide equity funding to TRIP Holdings that expire in May 2019 contingent upon certain returns on investment in TRIP Holdings and other conditions being met. Trinity has no obligation to guarantee performance under any of the partially-owned subsidiaries' (or their respective subsidiaries') debt agreements, guarantee any railcar residual values, shield any parties from losses, or guarantee minimum yields.

In May 2014, TILC and the third-party investors of TRIP Holdings contributed $21.6 million and $49.6 million, respectively, net of expenses, to TRIP Holdings. These contributions, combined with additional secured borrowings, were used to purchase additional railcar equipment from TILC. At March 31,September 30, 2014, the Company's carrying value of its investment in TRIP Holdings was $161.3and RIV 2013 totaled $229.7 million representing the Company's 45%weighted average 39% ownership interest while the Company's carrying value of its investment in RIV 2013 was $44.9 million, representing the Company's 31% interest. The Company's investments in its partially-owned leasing subsidiaries are eliminated in consolidation.
See Note 11 Debt regarding the debt of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries.

(1) Depreciation, maintenance, and rent expense are components of operating profit. Amortization of deferred profit on railcars sold from the Rail Group to the Leasing Group is included in the operating profits of the Leasing Group resulting in the recognition of depreciation expense based on the Company's original manufacturing cost of the railcars. Interest expense is not a component of operating profit and includes the effect of hedges. Intercompany interest expense is eliminated in consolidation and arises from Trinity’s previous ownership of a portion of TRIP Holdings’ Senior Secured Notes, and is eliminatedwhich notes were retired in consolidation.full in May 2013. See Note 11 Debt.

TheDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received proceeds of $514.3$767.9 million from the sale of leased railcars to Element Financial Corporation ("Element") during the three months ended March 31, 2014 under the strategic alliance with Element announced in December 2013, including $13.7$153.4 million recorded as revenue by the Rail Group. From the total proceeds received from Element, the Leasing Group recorded $277.9$378.8 million in revenue from the sale of railcars owned one year or less at the time of sale. The remainder of the proceeds of $222.7$235.7 million is attributable to the sale of railcars owned more than one year at the time of sale and is, consequently, excluded from revenue. Since the inception of our alliance, the Company has received proceeds of $872.9 million from the sale of leased railcars to Element.

Debt. The Leasing Group’s debt at March 31,September 30, 2014 consisted of both recourse and non-recourse debt. As of March 31,September 30, 2014, Trinity’s wholly-owned subsidiaries included in the Leasing Group held equipment with a net book value of $1,909.1$1,864.1 million,, excluding deferred profit, which is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt held by those subsidiaries, including equipment with a net book value of $46.9$46.0 million securing capital lease obligations. The net book value, excluding deferred profit, of unpledged equipment at March 31,September 30, 2014 was $774.3 million.$597.8 million. See Note 11 Debt for the form, maturities, and descriptions of Leasing Group debt.

Partially-owned subsidiaries. Debt owed by TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries is nonrecourse to Trinity and TILC. Creditors of each of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013 and their respective subsidiaries have recourse only to the particular subsidiary's assets. TRIP Master Funding equipment with a net book value of $1,058.7$1,408.6 million,, excluding deferred profit, resulting from the sale of railcars to TRIP Master Funding, is pledged as collateral for the TRIP Master Funding debt. TRL 2012 equipment with a net book value of $615.1$606.1 million,, excluding deferred profit, resulting from the sale of railcars to TRL 2012, is pledged solely as collateral for the TRL 2012 secured railcar equipment notes. See Note 5 Partially-Owned Leasing Subsidiaries for a description of TRIP Holdings and RIV 2013.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. In prior years, the Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts (“Trusts”). Each of the Trusts financed the purchase of the railcars with a combination of debt and equity. In each transaction, the equity participant in the Trust is considered to be the primary beneficiary of the Trust and therefore, the debt related to the Trust is not included as part of the consolidated financial statements. The Leasing Group, through wholly-owned, qualified subsidiaries, leased railcars from the Trusts under operating leases with terms of 22 years, and subleased the railcars to independent third-party customers under shorter term operating rental agreements.

These Leasing Group subsidiaries had total assets as of March 31,September 30, 2014 of $204.7$199.1 million,, including cash of $81.4$74.5 million and railcars of $85.2 million.$84.7 million. The subsidiaries' cash, railcars, and an interest in each sublease are pledged to collateralize the lease obligations to the Trusts and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiaries’ lease obligations. Certain ratios and cash deposits must be maintained by the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries in order for excess cash flow, as defined in the agreements, from the lease to third parties to be available to Trinity. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future contractual minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

Note 7. Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 3 Fair Value Accounting for discussion of how the Company valued its interest rate swaps at March 31,September 30, 2014. See Note 11 Debt for a description of the Company's debt instruments.

(1) Based on the fair value of open hedges as of March 31,September 30, 2014

During 2005 and 2006, we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our 2006 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $200.0 million, were settled in 2006 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.

During 2006 and 2007, we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our Promissory Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $370.0 million, were settled in 2008 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $24.5 million recorded as a loss in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2008. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.

In 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2015, to fix the variable Libor component of the Promissory Notes. This derivative instrument transaction is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The effect on interest expense is primarily a result of monthly interest settlements.

Table of Contents

Between 2007 and 2009, TRIP Holdings, as required by the TRIP Warehouse Loan, entered into interest rate swap derivatives, all of which qualified as cash flow hedges, to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates in the TRIP Warehouse Loan. In July 2011, these interest rate hedges were terminated in connection with the refinancing of the TRIP Warehouse Loan. Balances included in AOCL at the date the hedges were terminated are being amortized over the expected life of the new debt with $5.1$5.0 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following March 31,September 30, 2014. Also in July 2011, TRIP Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Master Funding, entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2021, with an initial notional amount of $94.1 million to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates associated with the Class A-1b notes of the TRIP Master Funding secured railcar equipment notes. The effect on interest expense is primarily a result of monthly interest settlements.

See Note 11 Debt regarding the related debt instruments.

Other Derivatives

Natural gas and diesel fuel

We maintain a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. For those instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31,September 30, 2014 for these instruments waswere not significant.

Foreign exchange hedge

We enter into foreign exchange hedges to mitigate the impact on operating profit of unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31,September 30, 2014 for these instruments waswere not significant.

We have a $425.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on October 20, 2016. As of March 31,September 30, 2014, we had letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $67.0$85.3 million,, leaving $358.0$339.7 million available for borrowing. Other than these letters of credit, there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of March 31,September 30, 2014, or for the threenine month period then ended. Of the outstanding letters of credit as of March 31,September 30, 2014, a total of $65.5$0.1 million is expected to expire in 2014 and the remainder in 2015. The majority of our letters of credit obligations support the Company’s various insurance programs and generally renew each year. Trinity’s revolving credit facility requires the maintenance of ratios related to minimum interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations and maximum leverage. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at Libor plus 1.50% or prime plus 0.50%. As of March 31,September 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all such financial covenants.

The Company's 3 7/8% Convertible Subordinated Notes are recorded net of unamortized discount to reflect their underlying economics by capturing the value of the conversion option as borrowing costs. As of March 31,September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, capital in excess of par value included $92.5 million and $92.8 million, respectively, related to the estimated value of the Convertible

Taxing authority examinations

The IRS field work for our 2006-2008 audit cycle has concluded and all issues, except for transfer pricing, have been agreed upon and tentatively settled. The transfer pricing issue has been appealed and we are working with both the U.S. and Mexican taxing authorities to coordinate taxation in a formal mutual agreement process (“MAP”). On September 30, 2013, we received the revenue agent report for the 2009-2011 audit cycle. All issues have been concluded and agreed to except for transfer pricing issues. TheseThe transfer pricing issues have been appealed and we have requested they be addressed in the same MAP ofas the 2006-2008 cycle. At this time, we cannot determine when the 2006-2008 cycle or the 2009-2011 cycles will close and all issues formally settled.

We have various subsidiaries in Mexico that file separate tax returns and are subject to examination by taxing authorities at different times. The 2007 tax year of one of our Mexican subsidiaries is still under review for transfer pricing purposes only, and its statute of limitations remains open through the later of the resolution of the MAP or August 2017. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we received notification that one of our Mexican entities is now under audit for its 2011 tax year. The remaining entities are generally open for their 2008 tax years and forward.

Our two Swiss subsidiaries, one of which is a holding company and the other of which is dormant, have been audited by the taxing authorities through 2008 and 2009, respectively. The statute of limitations in Switzerland is generally five years from the end of the tax year, but can be extended up to 15 years in certain cases if the audit has commenced during the original five-year period. We also currently have sales offices in Europe and Canada that are subject to various statutes of limitations with regard to their tax status. Generally, states’ statutes of limitations in the U.S. are open from 2003 forward due to the use of tax loss carryforwards in certain jurisdictions.

TableDuring the third quarter of Contents2013, and after the filing of its 2012 Federal income tax return, the Company determined that it would utilize previously reserved foreign tax credits on its 2013 Federal income tax return which were due to expire in 2014-2016. Accordingly, the related $6.4 million valuation allowance recorded in the second quarter of 2009 was reversed and recorded as an income tax benefit during the third quarter of 2013.

Also, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company completed a review of its state tax filing positions based upon the current operational footprint. As a result of this review, we recorded a charge of $5.1 million in order to adjust our overall net deferred tax liability based upon our current state tax filing responsibilities. We also adjusted our state tax rate for 2013 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of this review.

The reduction inAdditions for tax positions of prior years of $0.1 millionrecorded for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2014, was primarily related to changesforeign tax positions. Additions for tax positions related to prior years in state taxes.the amount of $1.9 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, were for Federal tax positions taken on the prior year tax returns.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits including interest and penalties at March 31,September 30, 2014 and 2013, that would affect the Company’s overall effective tax rate if recognized was $13.8$14.2 million and $12.113.9 million, respectively. There is a reasonable possibility that unrecognized Federal and state tax benefits will decrease by $0.1 million by March 31, 2015 due to settlements and lapses in statutes of limitations for assessing tax.

Note 17. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic net income attributable to Trinity Industries, Inc. per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Trinity remaining after allocation to unvested restricted shares by the weighted average number of basic unrestricted common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be antidilutive, the calculation of diluted net income attributable to Trinity per common share includes 1) the net impact of unvested restricted shares and shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options and 2) the incremental shares calculated by dividing the value of the conversion obligation in excess of the Convertible Subordinated Notes' aggregate principal amount by the average price of the Company's common stock during the period. The effect of the Convertible Subordinated Notes was antidilutive for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013.September 30, 2013. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 3.86.9 million shares and 3.27.6 million shares for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2014, respectively. Total weighted average restricted shares and antidilutive stock options were 7.4 million shares and 6.9 million shares for the March 31,three and nine months ended September 30, 2013,, respectively.

Note 18. Contingencies

Highway Products Litigation

AsWe previously reported that on January 28, 2013, the United States filed a “Notice of Election to Decline Intervention” in a False Claims Act (Qui Tam)(“Act”) complaint filed under seal on March 6, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (“District Court”) styled Joshua Harman, on behalf of the United States of America, Plaintiff/Relator (“Mr. Harman”) v. Trinity Industries, Inc., Defendant, Case 2:12-cv-00089-JRG. AlthoughMr. Harman alleged the Company did not receive service of process with respectknowingly presented or caused to the Original Complaint, the Company was served with Mr. Harman's Amended Complaint on May 17, 2013. The trial is currently set by the U.S. District Court for July 14, 2014. Mr. Harman alleges the Companybe presented a false or fraudulent claims, recordsclaim, record or statementsstatement to purchasers of the Company's ET-Plus® System, a highway guardrail end-terminal (“ET-Plus”), in order for such purchasers to obtain federal-aid reimbursement for payments made on such purchases. On October 20, 2014 a trial of this case concluded with a jury verdict stating that the Company and its subsidiary, Trinity Highway Products, LLC, “knowingly made, used or caused to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim," awarding $175 million in damages based on such finding. The jury's damages award, to the extent it survives the Company's challenge in post-trial motions or on appeal, is automatically trebled under the Act to $525 million. Additionally, the District Court is required to impose civil penalties for each violation of the Act (which penalties are not automatically trebled). The District Court has the discretion to establish the civil penalty amount between $5,500 and $11,000 per violation. In this regard, the Relator contended during trial that certain invoices submitted to purchasers of the ET-Plus certified that the product was accepted by the Federal Highway Administration ("FHWA") and was therefore eligible for federal-aid reimbursement. Based on Relator’s damages model in this respect, the range of possible civil penalties is $5,500 (if the District Court determines there has been a single violation) to $184 million (if the District Court determines that each invoice for the product was a violation).

The District Court has not yet entered a final judgment or determined a civil penalty amount. While the Company believes the District Court does not have the evidence required under the law to quantify civil penalties, the range of loss in this case, based on the jury’s verdict and Mr. Harman's damage model for civil penalties, is $525 million to $709 million, exclusive of attorney's fees, costs, and interest.

The Company maintains that Mr. Harman’s allegations are without merit. Accordingly, the Company intends to challenge the damages award on the ground of insufficient evidence and to vigorously defend its positions in post-trial motions and on appeal to the United States to obtain payment or approval relatedCourt of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”). Such post-trial motions and appellate review will result in certain legal expenses, including costs associated with posting a supersedeas bond upon the District Court’s entry of a final judgment. The face amount of such bond could equal the amount of the final judgment entered plus twenty (20) percent. The Company has confidence that such bond will be issued if, when, and to the Company'sextent required.

Texas A&M Transportation Institute (“TTI”), a member of the Texas A&M University System, developed and designed the ET-Plus. The Texas A&M University System is the owner of ET-Plus guardrail end-terminal,patents issued by the U.S. Patent Office. Trinity Highway Products, LLC manufactures and seeks damages equalingmarkets the costET-Plus pursuant to recallan exclusive license granted by the Texas A&M University System of their intellectual property. According to the license agreement, the Texas A&M University System is responsible for the research, design, and replace all installationsdevelopment of the ET-Plus trebled, plus civil penalties, costs,technology, and interest. The Company noteswe rely on their engineering and design expertise. TTI conducts crash testing of the ET-Plus to demonstrate compliance with the required standards set out in National Cooperative Highway Research Program Report 350 (“Report 350”). In addition, TTI prepares the test reports on performance of the ET-Plus for review by the FHWA in their consideration for accepting the product for use on the national highway system and determining the product’s eligibility for federal-aid reimbursement. It is our belief that since its introduction in 2000, including all subsequent improvement modifications thereafter,recommended by TTI, the ET-Plus system has satisfied the testing criteria required by the governing National Cooperative Highway Research Programbeen in compliance with Report 350 and has been accepted by the product approval requirementsFHWA for federal-aid reimbursement eligibility. In a Memorandum dated June 17, 2014, the FHWA confirmed to its Division Administrators, Directors of Field Services, Federal Lands Division Engineers, that "The Trinity ET-Plus with 4-inch guide channels became eligible for Federal reimbursement under FHWA letter CC-94 on September 2, 2005. In addition, the device is eligible for reimbursement under FHWA letters CC-94A and CC-120.” In this memorandum, the FHWA further confirmed the reimbursement eligibility of the Federal Highway Administration.device at guardrail heights from 27 3/4 inches to 31 inches, stating that an “unbroken chain of eligibility for Federal-aid reimbursement has existed since September 2, 2005 and the ET-Plus continues to be eligible today."

A trial in this matter commenced in July 2014, but ended in a mistrial declared by the District Court on its own volition. Preceding the second trial in this matter, the Company filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus with the Fifth Circuit based, in part, on the District Court’s failure to apply Fifth Circuit case law precedent as well as other precedential case law. In its per curiam order denying the Company’s Petition for Writ of Mandamus, the Fifth Circuit expressed concern regarding the District Court’s failure to issue a reasoned ruling rejecting the Company’s prior motions for judgment as a matter of law. The Fifth Circuit also stated that the FHWA authoritative memorandum dated June 17, 2014, on its face, appears to compel the conclusion that the FHWA, after due consideration of all the facts, found the ET-Plus sufficiently compliant with federal safety standards and therefore fully eligible, in the past, present and future, for federal reimbursement claims. Additionally, the Fifth Circuit noted that a strong argument could be made that the Company’s actions were neither material nor were any false claims based on false certifications

presented to the government. Based on the Fifth Circuit’s remarks, the Company re-urged its motions with the District Court for judgment as a matter of law, which the District Court denied during trial.

On October 21, 2014, the FHWA advised the Company that in light of the jury’s finding the Company must perform additional crash testing of the ET-Plus to support the FHWA’s ongoing evaluation of ET-Plus performance. On October 24, 2014, the Company issued a press release stating that it will stop shipments of the ET-Plus until additional crash testing of the ET-Plus can be completed. Prior to the Company’s press release, certain states had either removed the ET-Plus from their respective qualified products list or suspended further purchases of the ET-Plus pending the outcome of the FHWA-requested crash tests. The state of Virginia is also evaluating a potential recall of all ET-Plus products installed on Virginia roadways. Other states could take similar or different actions. While the financial impacts of such actions are currently unknown, they could be material. The Company intendsis working with the FHWA to vigorously defend against Mr. Harman's allegations which will likely resultdevelop a plan for performing the requested crash testing and analysis.

Revenues from sales of the ET-Plus in certain legal expenses. Wethe United States totaled approximately $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, or less than 1% of the Company’s total consolidated revenues. This revenue figure is approximately the same for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Pending entry of a final judgment and completion of the Company’s post-trial and appellate activities in this matter, we currently do not believe that a loss is probable, nor can a range of losses be determined. Accordingly, therefore no accrual or range of loss has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

At September 30, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $663.7 million. When combined with capacity under committed credit facilities, the Company had approximately $1.3 billion of available liquidity at the end of the third quarter.

The Company is currently defending a number of product liability lawsuits in several different states that are alleged to involve the ET-Plus. These cases are diverse in light of the randomness of collisions in general and the fact that each accident involving roadside devices such as an ET-Plus, or any other fixed object along the highway has its own unique facts and circumstances. Report 350 recognizes that performance of even the most carefully researched roadside device is subject to physical laws and the crash worthiness of vehicles.  While the Company is vigorously defending these lawsuits, the recent verdict in the Harman matter may affect the ultimate outcome in one or more of these cases. Moreover, the Company expects the recent verdict, coupled with the media attention the verdict has generated, will prompt the plaintiff’s bar to seek out vehicle accident victims involved in collisions with an ET-Plus as potential clients, which may result in additional product liability lawsuits being filed against the Company. The Company carries general liability insurance to mitigate the impact of adverse verdict exposures in these cases.
The Company has received information that several law firms are investigating whether certain officers and directors of the Company breached their fiduciary duties relating to modifications made to the ET-Plus and/or violated federal securities laws. We believe these investigations will be concluded without substantive results. However, the Company may incur legal expenses and related costs in responding to these investigations.

Train Derailment

TheAs previously reported, the Company has been named as a respondent in litigation filed July 15, 2013 in Superior Court, Province of Quebec, District of Saint-Francois, styled Yannick Gagne and Guy Ouellet vs. Rail World, Inc., et al. related to the July 2013 crude oil unit train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. A partially-owned subsidiary of the Company owned and leased to a third party 13 of the railcars involved in the incident, which lessee is also named as a defendant in the Province of Quebec litigation. As of June 18, 2014, the petitioners in the Quebec litigation have voluntarily desisted with their claims against the Company resulting in the dismissal of the Company without prejudice; however the partially-owned subsidiary remains as a respondent in the litigation. The litigation filed in Quebec is seeking “class” status which, if certified, could lead to multiple individuals and business entities becoming class members.

The Company was also named as a defendant in multiple cases filed by the estates of decedents in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois seeking damages for alleged wrongful death and property damage arising from the July 2013 crude oil unit train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. The Company’s tank car manufacturing subsidiary manufactured 35 of the 72 tank railcars involved in the derailment. However the Illinois cases have since been ordered transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Maine. This transfer prompted plaintiffs to seek dismissal of these actions. Nonetheless, the Maine court has not indicated those dismissals were effectuated and the cases were transferred to federal court in Maine and have been assigned new case numbers. The litigation filed in Quebec is seeking “class” status which, if certified, could lead to multiple individuals and business entities becoming class members. The Company’s tank car manufacturing subsidiary manufactured 35Certain of the 72 tank railcars involvedplaintiffs in these transferred cases have appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit seeking to overturn the decision to transfer. This appeal has resulted in a stay of all proceedings in the derailment. A partially-owned subsidiarytransferred cases pending resolution of the Company owned and leased to a third party 13 of the railcars involved in the incident, which lessee is also named as a defendant in the Province of Quebec litigation.appeal. The Company could be named in similar litigation involving other affected plaintiffs, but the ultimate number of claims and the jurisdiction in which such claims are filed, may vary. We do not believe at this time that a loss is probable nor can a range of losses be determined. Accordingly, no accrual or range of loss has been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Railworthiness Directive

As previously reported, in 2011 the Company received the approval of the Federal Railroad Administration to implement a voluntary recertification of 948 tank cars owned or managed by the Company’s wholly-owned, railcar leasing subsidiary and used in transporting poison inhalation hazard (“PIH”) materials. The recertification process was performed in conjunction with the normal federally mandated inspection cycle for tank cars in PIH service and is substantially complete as of March 31, 2014. Maintenance costs associated with this recertification process were expensed as incurred.

Other Matters

As previously reported, Trinity Structural Towers, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is in litigation with a structural wind towers customer for the customer’s breach of a long-term supply contract for the manufacture of towers. While the customer partially performed the contract, it ultimately defaulted on its purchase obligation and did not remedy such default following written notice.

Other Matters

The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits incidental to our business arising from various matters including product warranty, personal injury, environmental issues, workplace laws, and various governmental regulations. The Company evaluates its exposure to such claims and suits periodically and establishes accruals for these contingencies when a range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The range of reasonably possible losses for such matters, taking into consideration our rights in indemnity and recourse to third parties is $9.7$7.3 million to $30.4 million.$32.4 million. This range excludes any amount related to the Harman matter, as described above. At March 31,September 30, 2014, total accruals of $20.1$19.1 million,, including environmental and workplace matters described below, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes any additional liability would not be material to its financial position or results of operations.

Trinity is subject to remedial orders and Federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. The Company has reserved $11.3$10.3 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to the investigations, assessments, and remedial responses to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of liability arising from future proceedings, assessments, or remediation are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings involving the environment and the workplace or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with environmental and workplace laws and regulations.

Our Rail and Inland Barge Groups and our structural wind towers and storage containers businesses operate in cyclical industries.  Results in our Construction Products and Energy Equipment Groups are subject to seasonal fluctuations with the first quarter historically being the weakest quarter. Railcar sales from the lease fleet are the primary driver of fluctuations in results in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.

Demand conditions and corresponding order levels for new railcars and barges serving the oil, gas, and chemicals industries continue to be favorable. Demand conditions and corresponding order levels in other markets, including cementautomotive and agricultural products, have recently begun to strengthen for both freight railcars and hopper barges while demand for new products supporting the coal market remainremains weak. The slowdown in the commercial construction markets, budgetary constraints at the Federal and state level,levels, and unfavorable weather conditions have negatively impacted the results of our Highway Products business while acquisition related volumes have contributed favorably to the results in our Aggregates business.

We continually assess our manufacturing capacity and take steps to align our production capacity with demand for our products. Due to improvements in demand for certain products, we have continued to increase production staff at certain facilities. We expect that facilities on non-operating status will be available for future operations to the extent thatshould demand further increases.increase further.

To fund the continued expansion of its lease fleet to meet market demand, the Leasing Group generally uses its non-recourse $475 million warehouse facility or excess cash to provide initial financing for a portion of the purchase price of the railcars. After initial financing, the Leasing Group generally obtains long-term financing for the railcars in the lease fleet through non-recourse asset-backed securities,securities; long-term non-recourse operating leases pursuant to sales/leaseback transactions, ortransactions; long-term recourse debt such as equipment trust certificatescertificates; or third-party equity.

Demand conditions and corresponding order levels for new railcars and barges serving the oil, gas, and chemicals industries continue to be favorable. Demand conditions and corresponding order levels in other markets, including cementautomotive and agricultural products, have recently begun to strengthen for both freight railcars and hopper barges while demand for new products supporting the coal market remainremains weak. The slowdown in the commercial construction markets, budgetary constraints at the Federal and state level,levels, and unfavorable weather conditions have negatively impacted the results of our Highway Products business while acquisition related volumes have contributed favorably to the results in our Aggregates business.

We continually assess our manufacturing capacity and take steps to align our production capacity with demand for our products. Due to improvements in demand for certain products, we have continued to increase production staff at certain facilities. We expect that facilities on non-operating status will be available for future operations to the extent thatshould demand further increases.increase further.

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates, both in anticipation of future debt issuances and to offset interest rate variability of certain floating rate debt issuances outstanding. We also use derivative instruments to mitigate the impact of changes in natural gas and diesel fuel prices and changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are accounted for in accordance with applicable accounting standards. See Note 3 Fair Value Accountingof the Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of how the Company valued its interest rate swaps at March 31,September 30, 2014.

(1) Based on the fair value of open hedges as of March 31,September 30, 2014

During 2005 and 2006, we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our 2006 Secured Railcar Equipment Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $200.0 million, were settled in 2006 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million in income recorded in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.

During 2006 and 2007, we entered into interest rate swap derivatives in anticipation of issuing our Promissory Notes. These derivative instruments, with a notional amount of $370.0 million, were settled in 2008 and fixed the interest rate on a portion of the related debt issuance. These derivative instrument transactions are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $24.5 million recorded as a loss in AOCL through the date the related debt issuance closed in 2008. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. The effect on interest expense is due to amortization of the AOCL balance.

In 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2015, to fix the variable Libor component of the Promissory Notes. This derivative instrument transaction is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The effect on interest expense is primarily a result of monthly interest settlements.

Between 2007 and 2009, TRIP Holdings, as required by the TRIP Warehouse Loan, entered into interest rate swap derivatives, all of which qualified as cash flow hedges, to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates in the TRIP Warehouse Loan. In July 2011, these interest rate hedges were terminated in connection with the refinancing of the TRIP Warehouse Loan. Balances included in AOCL at the date the hedges were terminated are being amortized over the expected life of the new debt with $5.15.0 million of additional interest expense expected to be recognized during the twelve months following March 31,September 30, 2014. Also in July 2011, TRIP Holdings’ wholly-owned subsidiary, TRIP Master Funding, entered into an interest rate swap derivative instrument, expiring in 2021, with an initial notional amount of $94.1 million to reduce the effect of changes in variable interest rates associated with the Class A-1b notes of the TRIP Master Funding secured railcar equipment notes. The effect on interest expense is primarily a result of monthly interest settlements.

Refer to Item 2, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for a discussion of debt-related activity and the impact of hedging activity for the three and nine months endedMarch 31,September 30, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect and record the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC, and to process, summarize, and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC. The Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers are responsible for establishing and maintaining these procedures and, as required by the rules of the SEC, evaluating their effectiveness. Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures that took place as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers believe that these procedures are effective to 1) ensure that the Company is able to collect, process, and disclose the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods and 2) accumulate and communicate this information to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

The Company acquired the assets of Meyer on August 18, 2014 and has not yet included Meyer in our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's general guidance that an assessment of recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment in the year of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures does not include any disclosure controls and procedures of Meyer that are also part of Meyer's internal control over financial reporting. For the third quarter ended September 30, 2014, Meyer represented 3% of our consolidated total revenues and as of September 30, 2014 represented 7% of our consolidated total assets.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The Company maintains a system of internal controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that: transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; transactions are recorded as necessary 1) to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, and 2) to maintain accountability for assets; access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

During the period covered by this report, except as described in the preceding paragraph regarding the Meyer acquisition, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Meyer acquisition on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
