PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
UNION TANK CAR COMPANY (with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries
herein collectively referred to, unless the context otherwise requires, as the
"Company") was organized under the laws of Delaware on September 23, 1980 and is
the successor to a business which was originally incorporated in New Jersey in
1891. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marmon Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings"). Substantially all of the stock of Holdings 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.
Railcar Leasing, Services and Sales
The principal activity of the Company is leasing of railway tank cars and other
railcars to North American manufacturers and other shippers of chemical
products, including liquid fertilizers, liquefied petroleum gas and other
petroleum products, food products and bulk plastics. The Company owns and
operates one of the largest fleets of privately-owned railway tank cars in the
world.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company's railcar fleet comprised 64,464 tank cars
and 16,236 railway cars of other types. A total of 29,416 railcars were added to
the lease fleet during the ten years ended December 31, 2002. These railcars
accounted for approximately 40% of total railcar lease revenues during 2002.
Most of the Company's railcars were built by the Company or to its
specifications and the rest were purchased from other sources.
Management estimates that railway tank cars carrying chemicals and acids account
for the greatest portion of total leasing revenues, followed in order by
compressed gases (particularly liquefied petroleum gas and anhydrous ammonia),
refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, fuel oils and asphalt), food
products and liquid fertilizers.
A significant portion of revenues from the Company's non-tank railcar fleet
derives from hopper cars for carrying bulk plastics. Remaining non-tank railcar
revenues are attributable to railcars serving the lumber, dry bulk chemical and
coal industries.
The Company builds railway tank cars primarily for its leasing business, but
also builds railway tank cars for sale to others. Generally, manufacturing
follows receipt of a firm order for lease or sale of a railway tank car.
Substantially all of the Company's railcars are leased directly to several
hundred manufacturers and other shippers under leases covering from one to
several thousand railcars and ranging from one to twenty years. The average term
of leases entered into during 2002 for newly-manufactured railcars was
approximately six years. The average term of leases entered into during 2002 for
used railway tank cars and other railcars was approximately three years. Under
the terms of most leases, the Company agrees to provide a full range of
services, including railcar repair and maintenance. The Company supplies
relatively few railcars directly to railroads. The Company markets its railcars
through regional sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada
and through a sales agent in Mexico. To ensure optimum use of the railcar lease
fleet, the Company maintains data processing systems that contain
-2-
information about each railcar, including mechanical specifications, maintenance
and repair data, and lease terms.
The Company maintains repair facilities at strategic points throughout the
United States and Canada. In addition to work performed by the Company, certain
maintenance and repair work is performed for the Company's account by railroads
when railroad inspection determines the need for such work under the interchange
rules of the Association of American Railroads ("AAR").
The Company is not subject to regulation or supervision as a common carrier. The
Company's railcars are subject to construction, safety and maintenance
regulations of the Department of Transportation, various other government
agencies and the AAR. These regulations have required, and may in the future
require, the Company to make significant modifications to certain of its
railcars from time to time.
The Company's facilities for manufacturing and assembling railway tank cars are
located in East Chicago, Indiana and Sheldon, Texas. The Company also operates
North America's largest network of shops for repairing and servicing railcars,
as well as a fleet of specially equipped trucks to perform repairs at customer
plant sites. Principal shops are located in Valdosta, Georgia; Muscatine, Iowa;
El Dorado, Kansas; Ville Platte, Louisiana; Marion, Ohio; Altoona, Pennsylvania;
Cleveland and Sheldon, Texas; Evanston, Wyoming; Edmonton, Alberta; Sarnia and
Oakville, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Regina, Saskatchewan.
Other Activities
The Company is engaged in several other activities, as described below.
Metals Distribution
Subsidiaries of the Company are leading distributors of carbon steel, stainless
steel and aluminum tubular products; chrome and stainless bar; other carbon
steel products, including beams and channels; and aircraft grade tubing, rolled
form shapes and other raw materials.
These subsidiaries serve the agriculture, capital goods, machine tool,
construction, transportation, refining, petrochemical, and fluid power
industries, as well as aerospace companies, construction trades, steel
fabricators, and OEMs.
Intermodal Tank Container Leasing
Subsidiaries of the Company own, manage, lease and maintain intermodal tank
containers. The container fleet consists of a wide range of equipment for the
global transportation, distribution and storage of bulk liquids, chemicals and
gases, which allows the Company to service the full range of customer
requirements. These customers include the international chemical industry and
logistics operators specializing in bulk liquid transportation. Unlike railway
tank cars or over-the-road tank semi-trailers, intermodal tank containers are
capable of transporting cargo by way of multiple modes of transportation
including road, rail or ship.
-3-
Sulphur Processing
Subsidiaries of the Company provide sulphur producers in Canada with various
services, including processing of liquefied sulphur into crystalline slates and
granules, and storage and shipping of the product. A subsidiary also designs,
manufactures and sells sulphur processing plants worldwide. Other subsidiaries
are engaged in manufacturing and distribution of sulphur bentonite products and
micronutrients to the agricultural industry.
Fasteners
Subsidiaries of the Company manufacture and distribute a wide range of fasteners
worldwide to manufacturers of furniture, household appliances, industrial and
agricultural equipment.
Other Railway Equipment and Services
A subsidiary of the Company manufactures mobile railcar moving vehicles for
in-plant and yard switching. Another subsidiary of the Company manufactures
wheels, axles and gear sets for light rail transit. Other subsidiaries provide
contract switching services to companies with on-site rail yards.
Containment Vessel Head Manufacturing
A subsidiary of the Company manufactures and distributes metal containment
vessel heads, primarily made of steel, to the metal containment vessel
construction industry.
Gear Drive Manufacturing
Subsidiaries of the Company manufacture right-angle gear drives for industrial
applications and wind machines used to protect fruits and vegetables from frost.
Recent Developments
At the close of business on June 30, 2002, the Company distributed the stock of
Atlas Bolt & Screw Company, Atlas Bolt & Screw Sp.zo.o and Pan American Screw,
Inc. to Marmon Industrial LLC (MIC), MIC distributed the stock of the Company to
Holdings and Holdings contributed the stock of Amarillo Gear Company, Penn
Machine Company and WCTU Railway Company to the Company. As a result of such
realignment, (i) Holdings owns all of the Company's capital stock, (ii) the
Company ceased to own any capital stock of Atlas Bolt & Screw Company, Atlas
Bolt & Screw Sp.zo.o or Pan American Screw, Inc. and (iii) the Company owns all
of the capital stock of Amarillo Gear Company, Penn Machine Company and WCTU
Railway Company. The transactions have been accounted for as a change in
reporting entity on an "as if pooled" basis and, accordingly, all financial and
other information has been restated to reflect these transactions for
comparative purpose for all periods presented. The impact of this realignment is
not material.

-6-
Competition
All activities of the Company compete with similar activities by other
companies.
Several competitors are in the business of leasing railcars in the United States
and Canada. Principal competitors are GATX Corporation, General Electric Railcar
Services Corporation, and ACF Industries, Incorporated. Principal competitive
factors are price, service and product design. International cooperation within
the Company's engineering, manufacturing, repair and leasing activities has
enhanced its ability to provide competitive products and services to its
customers throughout North America.
In the metals distribution business, the Company has numerous competitors, both
large and small. The Company is one of the largest participants in the
distribution of its class of products. Principal competitive factors include
price, availability of product and service.
The Company, the largest lessor of intermodal tank containers in the world,
competes with numerous competitors in this industry. Competition is based on a
number of factors, including technical expertise, availability of equipment,
price, service and reputation.
Supply and Demand
Demand for railway tank cars and bulk plastic hopper cars is generally met with
a combination of the industry's existing fleet and new railcar additions. The
industry's generally high overall utilization of the railway tank car and bulk
plastic covered hopper car fleets evidences an appropriate level and mix of
equipment to meet existing railcar demands. New railcars are needed to satisfy
growth, for specialized requirements, or the desire of certain customers for
newer equipment. Since railcars are typically built to customer order, the
supply of new railcars generally stays in reasonable balance with demand.
Major underlying factors affecting demand for new railcars are: (a) the rate of
growth of the overall economy, (b) growth of certain industry segments,
manufacturers, or shippers, particularly involving significant new or expanded
production operations, and (c) replacement of aged, obsolete, or worn out
railcars.
Demand for intermodal tank containers is dependent on growth of the global
economy and demand for chemicals and other liquid products. Global economic
factors impacting demand include overall demand for chemicals, location of
production of the products carried and stored in relation to location of demand
for these products, import/export tariffs and other trade restrictions.
Manufacturing Backlog
The Company builds railway tank cars primarily for use in its leasing business
and the number of railcars added in any one year is a small percentage of the
Company's lease fleet. Additionally, for railway tank cars built for sale to
customers, the Company delivers against orders within a relatively brief period.
Therefore, backlog is not material to the Company's business.
-7-
Employees
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had approximately 5,330 employees.
Environmental Matters
The Company believes that all of its facilities are in substantial compliance
with applicable laws and regulations relating to environmental protection. Over
the past several years, the Company has attempted to identify and remediate
potential problem areas. In 2002, the Company spent approximately $2.5 million
on remediation and related matters, compared with $5.3 million and $8.2 million
in 2001 and 2000, respectively. The Company expects to spend approximately $4.7
million in 2003 on similar activities.
Management believes that amounts accrued for remedial activities and
environmental liabilities (which in the aggregate are not material) are
adequate.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 contains
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This information may involve
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those set forth herein. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, 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.
2002 versus 2001
Results of Operations
Performance of the railcar leasing businesses continues to be adversely affected
by the continuing general economic slowdown in all major markets. Demand for
existing equipment remained low causing downward pressure on both lease rental
rates and fleet utilization. Service revenues decreased $16.3
-11-
million primarily due to decreased railcar leasing and service revenues ($19.4
million), offset by increased intermodal tank containers leasing business ($5.5
million). Gross margin on service revenues decreased $27.4 million primarily due
to lower fleet utilization and higher maintenance costs.
The Company's railcar lease fleet utilization decreased during 2002, however,
utilization has remained in a range of 93% to 98% during the last five years.
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. Over the past five
years, the average term of leases entered into for newly-manufactured railcars
was approximately seven years, and the average term of leases entered into for
used railcars was approximately four years. The average term of leases entered
into during 2002 for newly-manufactured railcars was approximately six years,
and the average term of leases entered into for used railcars was approximately
three years.
Demand for new railcars remained weak, resulting in continuing low levels of
production and capacity utilization. Demand for the products of the metals
distribution business was also adversely impacted by the continuing general
economic slowdown in the U.S. As a result, overall sales revenues decreased
$55.1 million primarily due to reduced sales of railcars ($27.7 million) and
metal products ($22.7 million). Cost of sales in 2001 included $11.1 million of
goodwill amortization.
Other income decreased $11.4 million due to, among other things, an
environmental provision ($2.4 million). Additionally, other income for 2001
included a gain from disposals of liquefied petroleum gas storage caverns in
Canada ($3.9 million).
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Operating activities provided $282.7 million of cash in 2002. These funds, along
with the proceeds from the redemption of short-term investments, were used to
service borrowed debt obligations, finance railcar additions, and pay dividends
to the Company's stockholder. 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.
In 2002, the Company spent $122.7 million for construction and purchase of
railcars and other fixed assets. Of the capital expenditures for construction
and purchase of railcars and other fixed assets over the past five years,
approximately 80% have been for railcars. 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 2002, the Company used $141.3 million for principal repayments on borrowed
debt and $67.0 million for cash dividends. Net cash used in financing activities
was $204.9 million.
-12-
Management expects that the future cash to be provided by operating activities,
long-term financings, and repayment of funds previously advanced to parent will
be adequate to provide for the continued expansion of the Company's business and
enable it to meet its debt service obligations.
Approximately 16% of Company-owned railcars are pledged to secure equipment
obligations and secured notes. The remaining railcars are free of liens.
The following table presents the scheduled cash inflows and outflows for the
railcar leasing business over the next five years based on leases and
railcar-related indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2002:
2003 2004 2005 2006 2007

Excess (Deficit) of inflows over outflows $ 233.9 $ 112.0 $ 66.1 $ (56.2) $ (211.3)
========== ========== ========== =========== ==========
The minimum future lease rentals above relate to railcar leases in effect at
December 31, 2002. Based upon its historical experience, the Company expects
that the railcars (other than those which are retired in the ordinary course of
business) will be re-leased at the expiration of such leases. The rentals under
such future leases cannot be ascertained and are not reflected above.
In addition, maturities of debt obligations and interest payments for the
intermodal tank container leasing business over the next five years are as
follows: $23,365 in 2003, $23,520 in 2004, $22,598 in 2005, $23,677 in 2006 and
$22,602 in 2007.
The Company has not experienced any significant impact of inflation and changing
prices on its financial position or results of operations over the last several
years.
The Company's foreign subsidiaries periodically enter into foreign currency
forward contracts to hedge against U.S. dollar exposures. The notional amounts
of the foreign currency forward contracts, all with initial maturities of less
than one year, amounted to $22.0 million at December 31, 2001. There were no
foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2002.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the
Company to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures. On an
ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgements based on
historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be
reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
-13-
The Company annually reviews its financial reporting and disclosure practices
and accounting policies to ensure that its financial reporting and disclosures
provide accurate and transparent information relative to the current economic
and business environment. The Company believes that, of its significant
accounting policies (see "Summary of Accounting Principles and Practices" more
fully described in Note 2 in Item 8), the following policies involve a higher
degree of judgement and/or complexity.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are depreciated or amortized over their useful lives
based on management's estimates of the period over which the assets will
generate revenue. The Company periodically reviews these lives relative to
physical factors, economic factors and industry trends.
Asset Impairment
In assessing the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets, the Company
considers changes in economic conditions and makes assumptions regarding
estimated future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or their
related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record
impairment charges.
Income Taxes
The Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to
audit in these jurisdictions. The Company records accruals for the estimated
outcomes of these audits, and the accruals may change in the future due to new
developments in each matter.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". This
Interpretion requires that an enterprise's consolidated financial statements
include subsidiaries in which the enterprise has a controlling financial
interest. At December 31, 2002, the Company did not have any unconsolidated
variable interest entities.
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". This Interpretation elaborates on the
disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial
statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It
also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. This Interpretation does not prescribe a specific
approach for subsequently measuring the guarantor's recognized liability over
the term of the related guarantee. This Interpretation also incorporates,
without change, the guidance in FIN No. 34, "Disclosure of Indirect Guarantees
of Indebtedness of Others", which is being superseded. The initial recognition
and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a prospective basis to
guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure
requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods
ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or
financial position.
-14-
The Company has one residual value guarantee totalling $2.1 million until March
2006 and several performance guarantees totalling $2.9 million until August
2006. Additionally, the Company provides warranties on certain products for
varying lengths of time. Changes to the Company's product warranty accrual
during the year are as follows:
2002 2001
----------------- -----------------
(Dollars in Thousands)
Balance, beginning of year $ 877 $ 975
Warranties issued 293 899
Settlements (446) (997)
----------------- -----------------
Balance, end of year $ 724 $ 877
================= =================
The Company maintains appropriate allowances for warranties and periodically
reviews the amount of allowances based on management's assessment of various
factors, including claims experience.
In August 2001, the FASB issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets", which provides additional guidance on the financial accounting and
reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company
adopted the new rule as of January 1, 2002. The adoption of the new rule had no
material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial position.
In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
The Statement requires legal obligations associated with the retirement of
long-lived assets to be recognized at their fair value at the time that the
obligations are incurred. Upon initial recognition of a liability, that cost
should be capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and allocated to
expense over the useful life of the asset. The Company will adopt the new rule
on asset retirement obligations on January 1, 2003. The effect of adoption of
SFAS No. 143 is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial position.

2001 versus 2000
Results of Operations
Performance of the railcar and tank container leasing businesses was adversely
affected in all major markets by the general economic slowdown. Demand for
existing equipment decreased resulting in downward pressure on both lease rental
rates and fleet utilization. While service revenues increased $34.2 million,
this was primarily due to the inclusion of the incremental revenues associated
with the intermodal tank container operations ($45.0 million) acquired in
September 2000. Railcar leasing and service revenues decreased $4.7 million.
Gross margin on service revenues increased $7.9 million. This was also primarily
due to the inclusion of the intermodal tank container operations ($21.6 million)
acquired in September 2000, which was offset by weaker railcar leasing and
service results ($13.1 million).
Although the Company's railcar lease fleet utilization decreased during 2001,
utilization has remained in a range of 95% to 98% during the last five years.
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. Over the past five
years, the average term of leases entered into for newly-manufactured railcars
was approximately seven years, and the average term of leases entered into for
used railcars was approximately four years. The average term of leases entered
into during 2001 for newly-manufactured railcars was approximately eight years,
and the average term of leases entered into for used railcars was approximately
three years.
Demand for new railcars declined, resulting in lower production and lower
capacity utilization. Demand for the products of the metals distribution
business was adversely impacted by the general economic slowdown in the U.S. As
a result, overall sales revenues decreased $143.4 million primarily due to
reduced sales of railcars ($73.3 million) and metal products ($66.8 million).
Gross margin on sales revenues decreased $30.2 million primarily due to the same
factors which impacted sales revenues. A reserve of $4.7 million was established
in 2001 to cover anticipated costs associated with the suspension of new railway
tank car manufacturing at the Oakville, Ontario, Canada facility in the second
quarter of 2002.
General and administrative expenses increased $6.0 million primarily due to the
incremental expenses associated with the intermodal tank container operations
($5.7 million) acquired in September 2000.
Interest expense increased $9.0 million mainly due to the full year impact of
the $180 million senior secured notes issued to acquire the intermodal tank
container leasing business in September 2000.
Provision for income taxes decreased $13.7 million primarily due to lower income
before taxes and the benefit of enacted tax rate reduction on deferred taxes for
the Company's Canadian subsidiaries ($9.2 million).
-16-
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Operating activities provided $353.7 million of cash in 2001. These funds, along
with proceeds from issuance of debt, were used to provide for railcar additions,
service borrowed debt obligations, pay dividends and advance funds to the
Company's stockholder. 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.
In 2001, the Company spent $215.3 million for construction and purchase of
railcars and other fixed assets. Of the capital expenditures for construction
and purchase of railcars and other fixed assets over the past five years,
approximately 83% have been for railcars. 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 2001, the Company issued $110.0 million in senior secured notes. Other
financing activities of the Company included $91.6 million for principal
repayments on borrowed debt and $77.0 million for cash dividends. Net cash used
in financing activities was $54.3 million.
ITEM 7A. DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The market risk inherent in the Company's financial instruments is the potential
loss in fair value arising from adverse changes in interest rates. Under its
current policies, the Company does not use interest rate derivative instruments
to manage exposure to interest rate changes.
The following table provides information about the Company's debt obligations
with fair value sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents
principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected
maturity dates and estimated fair value of the Company's debt obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
TO UNION TANK CAR COMPANY
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Union Tank Car
Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Union
Tank Car Company and subsidiaries at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
In 2002, as discussed in Note 19, the Company changed its method of accounting
for goodwill to conform with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.

1. Ownership
UNION TANK CAR COMPANY (with its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries
herein collectively referred to, unless the context otherwise requires, as the
"Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marmon Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings").
Substantially all of the stock of Holdings 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. Summary of Accounting Principles and Practices
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
On September 1, 2000, the Company acquired a company engaged in the metals
distribution business and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, through a capital
contribution from Holdings. The acquisition has been accounted for on an "as if
pooled" basis and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include
the financial positions, results of operations, and cash flows of the combined
companies for all periods presented.
At the close of business on June 30, 2002, the Company distributed the stock of
Atlas Bolt & Screw Company, Atlas Bolt & Screw Sp.zo.o and Pan American Screw,
Inc. to Marmon Industrial LLC (MIC), MIC distributed the stock of the Company to
Holdings and Holdings contributed the stock of Amarillo Gear Company, Penn
Machine Company and WCTU Railway Company to the Company. As a result of such
realignment, (i) Holdings owns all of the Company's capital stock, (ii) the
Company ceased to own any capital stock of Atlas Bolt & Screw Company, Atlas
Bolt & Screw Sp.zo.o or Pan American Screw, Inc. and (iii) the Company owns all
of the capital stock of Amarillo Gear Company, Penn Machine Company and WCTU
Railway Company. The transactions have been accounted for as a change in
reporting entity on an "as if pooled" basis and, accordingly, all financial and
other information has been restated to reflect these transactions for
comparative purpose for all periods presented. The impact of this realignment is
not material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes all highly liquid debt instruments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less.
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments consist of commercial paper with original maturities
between four and six months.
-24-
UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an
allowance for doubtful accounts. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates its
accounts receivable as well as establishes the allowance for doubtful accounts
based on a combination of specific customer circumstances and credit conditions
and based on a history of write-offs and collections. A receivable is considered
past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice terms.
Uncollectiable receivables are charged against the allowance for doubtful
accounts when approved by management after all collection efforts have been
exhausted.
Lessor Accounting
Operating Leases - Most of the Company's railcar and intermodal tank container
leases are classified as operating leases. Aggregate rentals from operating
leases are reported as revenue ratably over the life of the lease. Expenses,
including depreciation and maintenance, are charged as incurred.
Direct Financing Leases - Some of the Company's railcar and other rental
equipment leases are classified as direct financing leases. Gross investment in
leases (minimum lease payments plus estimated residual values) less the cost of
the equipment is designated as unearned income. This unearned income is
recognized over the life of the lease based upon the "constant yield method" or
similar methods which generally result in an approximate level rate of return on
the investment.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from sales of products is generally recognized upon shipment to
customers which is when title and the risks and rewards of ownership are passed
on to the customers.
Shipping and Handling Costs
All freight costs incurred by the Company to ship its products to its customers
are included in cost of sales.
Depreciation and Fixed Assets Accounting
Railcars, intermodal tank containers and fixed assets are recorded at cost less
accumulated depreciation. These assets are depreciated to salvage value over
their estimated useful lives on the straight-line method. The estimated useful
lives are principally: railcars, 20-30 years; intermodal tank containers, 20
years; buildings and improvements, 10-30 years; and machinery and equipment,
3-20 years.
The cost of major conversions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful lives or, if shorter, the remaining useful lives of
the related assets. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when
incurred.
Gains or losses on disposals are included in other income, except for those
related to railcar and intermodal tank containers disposals which are included
in cost of services.

UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Impairment of Long-lived and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Carrying values of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets are
reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this
review indicates that the carrying value of an asset will not be recoverable, as
determined based on the undiscounted net cash flows of the asset acquired over
the remaining depreciation or amortization period, the carrying value of the
asset is reduced to its estimated fair value (based on an estimate of discounted
net future cash flows).
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's foreign operations use the local currency as their functional
currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates
in effect at the date of translation. Average exchange rates are used for
revenues, costs and expenses, and income taxes.
Translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses are borne by the
Company's parent. For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the
Company's parents absorbed a gain of $1,344, a gain of $954, and a loss of $938,
respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) or last-in, first-out (LIFO) methods. Finished goods
represented approximately 75% of net inventories at December 31, 2002.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
All book value amounts for financial instruments approximate the instruments'
fair value except for borrowed debt discussed in Note 7.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Acquisitions
In September 2000, the Company acquired the intermodal tank container leasing
business of Transamerica Leasing, Inc. for $264 million. In addition, the
Company acquired other entities for a total of $21 million in 2000. These

3. Railcar Lease Data
Railcars are leased directly to several hundred shippers, located throughout
North America. The Company leases to a wide variety of customers, and no
customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated lease revenues. Each lease
involves one to several thousand railcars, normally for periods ranging from one
to twenty years. The average term of leases entered into during 2002 for
newly-manufactured railcars was approximately six years. The average term of
leases entered into during 2002 for used railway tank cars and other railcars
was approximately three years. Under the terms of most of the leases, the
Company agrees to provide a full range of services including railcar repair and
maintenance.
Minimum future lease rentals to be received on the railcar lease fleet
(including railcars leased from others) were as follows as of December 31, 2002:

Notes. Interest on the notes is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1,
commencing December 1, 2001 at the rate of 6.82% per annum. Principal is payable
annually commencing on June 1, 2002 and continuing until maturity on June 1,
2016. The notes are secured by approximately 1,900 railcars with an original
cost of approximately $123,000 and 1,100 intermodal tank containers and wheeled
chassis with an original cost of approximately $23,800.
Senior secured notes of $100,000 are secured by railcars with an original cost
of $132,638 and $132,582 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Senior
secured notes of $161,000 are secured by intermodal tank containers assets with
an original cost of approximately $240,000 and the future stream of leasing
income on such intermodal tank containers.
Equipment obligations are secured by railcars with an original cost of $403,522
and $735,056 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The Company's Canadian subsidiaries have approximately $8,590 of credit lines
available on a no-fee basis. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2002
and 2001.
Maturities of debt obligations for the years 2003 - 2007 are as follows: $46,333
in 2003, $81,655 in 2004, $41,415 in 2005, $91,487 in 2006 and $215,963 in 2007.

estimated incremental borrowing rate at the respective year-end for debt with
similar maturities.
8. Income Taxes
The Company and its more than 80% owned U.S. subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of Holdings. Under an arrangement
with Holdings, federal income taxes, before consideration of tax credits, are
computed as if the Company files a separate consolidated return. For this
computation, the Company generally uses tax accounting methods which minimize
the current tax liability (these methods may differ from those used in the
consolidated tax return). Tax liabilities are remitted to, and refunds are
obtained from, Holdings on this basis. If deductions and credits available to
Holdings' entire consolidated group exceed those which can be used on its tax
return, allocation of the related benefits between the Company and others will
be at the sole discretion 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 consolidated group.
Undistributed earnings of the Company's non-U.S. subsidiaries reflect full
provision for non-U.S. income taxes. However, since the earnings are
indefinitely reinvested in non-U.S. operations, no provision has been made for
taxes that might be payable upon remittance of approximately $260 million of
such earnings nor is it practicable to determine the amount of any such
liability.

9. Contingencies
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 to resolve such claims, and, in the opinion of
management, their ultimate resolution will not have a material effect on the
Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
As part of its risk management plan, the Company self-insures certain levels of
its property damage, general liability and products liability exposures, as well
as certain workers' compensation liabilities in states where it is authorized to
do so. The Company maintains no property damage insurance on its railcars or
intermodal tank containers. The Company has accrued for the estimated costs of
reported, as well as incurred but not reported, self-insured claims. The Company
reserves the full estimated value of claims, it does not discount its claims
liability.
The Company has no environmental matters currently pending which are significant
to the Company's results of operations or financial condition, either
individually or in the aggregate. See further discussion of such matters under
the "Environmental Matters" caption of Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

In November 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB
Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements
for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others". This
Interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its
interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain
guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to
recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of
the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. This Interpretation does not
prescribe a specific approach for subsequently measuring the guarantor's
recognized liability over the term of the related guarantee. This Interpretation
also incorporates, without change, the guidance in FIN No. 34, "Disclosure of
Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", which is being superseded. The
initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are applicable on a
prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The
disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or
annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of FIN No. 45 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
statements or financial position.
The Company has one residual value guarantee totalling $2.1 million until March
2006 and several performance guarantees totalling $2.9 million until August
2006. Additionally, the Company provides warranties on certain products for
varying lengths of time. Changes to the Company's product warranty accrual
during the year are as follows:
2002 2001
---------------- ----------------
(Dollars in Thousands)
Balance, beginning of year $ 877 $ 975
Warranties issued 293 899
Settlements (446) (997)
---------------- ----------------
Balance, end of year $ 724 $ 877
================ ================
The Company maintains appropriate allowances for warranties and periodically
reviews the amount of allowances based on management's assessment of various
factors, including claims experience.

10. Pension Benefits
Substantially all of the Company's employees are covered by discretionary
contribution or defined benefit retirement plans.
Costs of the discretionary contribution pension plans are accrued in amounts
determined on the basis of percentages, generally established annually by the
Company, of employee compensation of the various units covered by such plans.
The contributions are funded as accrued. Discretionary and defined contribution
plan expense for 2002, 2001 and 2000 was $12,525, $12,395 and $11,406,
respectively.
As of December 31, 2002, the Company's defined benefit plans either had their
benefits frozen or were terminated. The benefits are based on payment of a
specific amount, which varies by plan, for each year of service. The Company's
funding policy is to contribute the minimum amount required either by law or
union agreement. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits
attributed to service through the plans' termination dates, but also for those
expected to be earned in the future. Benefits are based on both years of service
and compensation. Defined benefit pension plan income was $140, $335 and $590
for 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Accrued pension costs recognized in the
consolidated balance sheet were $3,717 at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
11. Retirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
The Company provides limited health care and life insurance benefits for certain
retired employees. These benefits are subject to deductible and copayment
provisions, Medicare supplements and other limitations. At December 31, 2002 and
2001, the liability for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits
was $4,735 and $4,420 respectively, and was included in accrued liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheet.
Expense related to these benefits was $724, $696 and $686 in 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively.
12. Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges represents the number of times that
interest expense, amortization of debt discount, and the interest component of
rent expense were covered by income before income taxes and such interest,
amortization, and the interest component of rentals.

13. Consolidating Financial Information
The following condensed consolidating statements for the years ended December
31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 are provided because Procor Limited, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, has issued three separate series of equipment trust
certificates, guaranteed by Union Tank Car Company, as part of certain public
debt offerings issued by Union Tank Car Company in the United States.
In 2002, Procor Limited restructured a part of its railcar leasing business.
Procor Limited transferred a number of the railcars it owned to Procor Leasing
Inc. ("PLI") in exchange for the Class A Preferred Shares of PLI. PLI then
transferred these same cars to a new limited partnership, Procor LP, in exchange
for a 98% limited partnership interest in Procor LP. Procor Limited owns a 2%
general partnership interest in Procor LP. Therefore, the Procor Limited
financial information for 2002 is not comparable to the 2001 and 2000
information.
