BUSINESS General UNION TANK CAR COMPANY (with its wholly-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 Industrial Corporation, 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 the leasing of railway tank cars and other railcars to United States, Canadian and Mexican manufacturers and other shippers of chemical products, including liquid fertilizers, petroleum products, including liquefied petroleum gas, 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, 1995, the Company's fleet was comprised of 53,669 tank cars and 13,943 railway cars of other types. A total of 21,554 cars were added to the lease fleet during the ten years ended December 31, 1995. These cars accounted for approximately 37% of total railcar lease revenues during 1995. Most of the Company's cars were built by the Company or to its specifications and the balance were purchased from other sources. Management estimates that 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 the revenues from the Company's non-tank car fleet derives from hopper cars carrying bulk plastics. The remaining non-tank car revenues are attributable to cars which serve the lumber, dry bulk chemical, coal and sulphur industries. The Company builds tank cars primarily for use in its leasing business. In addition, the Company builds cars for sale to others. Generally, the Company only manufactures a car following the receipt of a firm order for the lease or sale of such car. Substantially all of the Company's cars are leased directly to several hundred manufacturers and other shippers under leases covering from one to several thousand cars and for periods ranging from one to twenty years. The average term of leases entered into during 1995 for newly-manufactured cars was approximately nine years. The average term of leases entered into during 1995 for other cars was approximately four years. Under the terms of most leases the Company agrees to provide a full range of services, including car repair and maintenance. The Company supplies relatively few cars directly to railroads. -2- The Company markets its cars through regional sales offices located throughout the United States and Canada and through a sales agent in Mexico. To insure optimum utilization of the U.S., Canadian and Mexican lease fleets, the Company maintains fleet data processing systems which contain information relative to each car, including its mechanical specifications, maintenance and repair data and lease terms. The Company has generally followed the practice of financing additions to its fleet by borrowing 75% of the funds required through the issuance of equipment obligations. The Company's long-term equipment obligations are generally payable over a period of fifteen to twenty years, which is considerably less than the estimated useful life of the equipment. In 1995, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction pursuant to which it sold and leased back (under an operating lease) an aggregate of approximately 2,057 railcars. In 1994, the Company entered into two separate sale-leaseback transactions pursuant to which it sold and leased back (under operating leases) an aggregate of approximately 2,197 railcars. The average term of the Company's leases (as lessor) is substantially less than the average maturity of the equipment obligations and the average terms of the operating leases (as lessee); however, the aggregate rentals to be received in the future under existing leases are substantial. Under the terms of the operating leases the Company assumes responsibility for repairs and taxes. The following table sets forth the minimum rentals to be received, the debt maturities under outstanding equipment obligations, the minimum lease payments due (as lessee) under all operating leases and the cost of the fleet. The table excludes outstanding commercial paper, which, prior to the suspension of the program effective May 23, 1994, was used as interim financing for additions to the Company's railcar fleet. The figures shown are the minimum future rentals under leases in effect at the dates indicated. Based upon its historical experience, the Company expects that the cars (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 and related interest and other expenses to be incurred in the future cannot be ascertained and therefore are not reflected in this table. -3- December 31, ------------------------------------------------ 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Millions) Total minimum future rentals to be received (as lessor) $1,363.7 $1,258.5 $1,215.8 $1,190.3 $1,211.6 Principal amount of equipment obligations (1) 774.8 855.3 869.0 846.0 925.5 Total minimum future lease payments for noncancellable operating leases (as lessee) 590.2 426.7 253.0 262.4 26.2 Minimum future rentals to be received within one year (as lessor) 361.7 339.7 327.9 321.0 316.4 Principal amount of equipment obligations due within one year, net of amounts held for sinking fund purposes 66.8 73.1 80.7 71.4 71.2 Minimum future lease payments for noncancellable operating leases due within one year (as lessee) 25.4 13.4 13.5 8.6 3.2 Gross cost of fleet 2,425.0 2,368.6 2,392.7 2,283.8 2,403.8 Depreciated cost of fleet 1,430.2 1,452.0 1,523.8 1,477.4 1,619.2 For the year ended: Railcar rentals, including direct financing leases 428.4 409.2 397.8 388.1 372.6 (1) Includes $143.0 million principal amount of unsecured senior notes issued by the Company in 1990, the proceeds of which were used to retire certain higher coupon railcar obligations. Approximately 46% of the Company-owned fleet of railcars is pledged to secure equipment obligations. The remaining cars are free of liens. The Company maintains repair facilities located at strategic points throughout the United States and Canada. In addition to the 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 code of the Association of American Railroads ("AAR"). -4- The Company is not a common carrier and is not subject to regulation or supervision as such. The Company's railcars are subject to regulations governing construction, safety and maintenance promulgated by the Department of Transportation and various other government agencies and by the AAR. These regulations have required and may in the future require the Company to make significant modifications to certain of its cars from time to time. The Company's facilities for manufacturing and assembling tank cars are located in East Chicago, Indiana; Oakville, Ontario, Canada; and Sheldon, Texas. The Company also operates the largest network of shops in North America for repairing and servicing railcars, as well as a fleet of specially equipped trucks to perform repairs at customer plant sites. The principal shops are located in Valdosta, Georgia; Muscatine, Iowa; El Dorado, Kansas; Ville Platte, Louisiana; Marion, Ohio; Altoona, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Longview and Sheldon, Texas; Edmonton, Alberta; Sarnia and Oakville, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Regina, Saskatchewan. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for information concerning the contemplated acquisition of Hawker Canada Holdings, Inc. Other Activities The Company is engaged in several other activities, as described below. Sulphur Processing A subsidiary of the Company provides sulphur producers in Canada and the Netherlands with various services, including the processing of liquefied sulphur into crystalline slates and granules and the storage and shipping of the product. The subsidiary also designs, manufactures and sells sulphur processing plants worldwide. Fasteners The Company's fastener business, which is conducted through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, consists of manufacturing and distributing a wide range of fasteners in the United States, Canada and Sweden to the construction industry and manufacturers of furniture, household appliances, industrial and agricultural equipment. 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. Liquefied Petroleum Gas Storage A subsidiary of the Company operates several underground liquefied petroleum gas storage caverns in Canada as a service to producers and sellers of liquefied petroleum gas. -5- Segment Data The principal activity of the Company's primary industry segment is railcar leasing, services and sales. Information with regard to the Company's industry and geographic segments is as follows: Industry Segments 1995 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollars in Millions) Revenues Railcar leasing, services and sales $ 741.3 $ 645.2 $ 441.4 Other 123.4 83.5 71.8 -------- -------- -------- Total segments 864.7 728.7 513.2 Interest income (principally from advances to parent) 13.3 10.1 10.4 Corporate/unallocated (2.2) (2.0) (1.7) -------- -------- -------- $ 875.8 $ 736.8 $ 521.9 ======== ======== ======== Operating income Railcar leasing, services and sales $ 191.1 $ 177.0 $ 172.6 Other 9.7 10.2 6.7 -------- -------- -------- Total segments 200.8 187.2 179.3 Interest income (principally from advances to parent) 13.3 10.1 10.4 Interest expense (81.2) (91.4) (96.6) Corporate/unallocated (2.4) (2.4) (2.6) -------- -------- -------- $ 130.5 $ 103.5 $ 90.5 ======== ======== ======== Assets, at December 31 Railcar leasing, services and sales $1,723.3 $1,733.3 $1,773.4 Other 77.6 58.7 46.6 -------- -------- -------- Total segments 1,800.9 1,792.0 1,820.0 Advances to parent 171.2 194.7 202.3 Corporate/unallocated 31.2 31.1 32.6 -------- -------- -------- $2,003.3 $2,017.8 $2,054.9 ======== ======== ======== Capital expenditures Railcar leasing, services and sales $ 206.8 $ 186.8 $ 172.9 Other 21.5 26.4 2.9 -------- -------- -------- $ 228.3 $ 213.2 $ 175.8 ======== ======== ======== Depreciation Railcar leasing, services and sales $ 100.1 $ 100.1 $ 95.2 Other 5.1 3.5 4.4 -------- -------- -------- $ 105.2 $ 103.6 $ 99.6 ======== ======== ======== -6- Geographic Segments 1995 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollars in Millions) Revenues United States $ 669.6 $ 576.8 $ 361.0 Canada 184.3 146.9 147.6 Other 10.8 5.0 4.6 -------- -------- -------- Total segments 864.7 728.7 513.2 Interest income (principally from advances to parent) 13.3 10.1 10.4 Corporate/unallocated (2.2) (2.0) (1.7) -------- -------- -------- $ 875.8 $ 736.8 $ 521.9 ======== ======== ======== Operating income United States $ 146.8 $ 139.4 $ 129.8 Canada 51.0 45.2 47.0 Other 3.0 2.6 2.5 -------- -------- -------- Total segments 200.8 187.2 179.3 Interest income (principally from advances to parent) 13.3 10.1 10.4 Interest expense (81.2) (91.4) (96.6) Corporate/unallocated (2.4) (2.4) (2.6) -------- -------- -------- $ 130.5 $ 103.5 $ 90.5 ======== ======== ======== Assets, at December 31 United States $1,340.2 $1,376.5 $1,375.6 Canada 431.4 400.8 429.0 Other 29.3 14.7 15.4 -------- -------- -------- Total segments 1,800.9 1,792.0 1,820.0 Advances to parent 171.2 194.7 202.3 Corporate/unallocated 31.2 31.1 32.6 -------- -------- -------- $2,003.3 $2,017.8 $2,054.9 ======== ======== ======== Intersegment sales are immaterial. Segment operating income includes segment revenue less operating expenses directly traceable to the segment and an allocation of common expenses benefiting more than one segment. Major Customers Revenues from any one customer did not exceed 5% of consolidated or industry segment revenues. Raw Materials The Company purchases raw materials from a variety of suppliers, with no one supplier in any industry segment being significant. In the opinion of management the Company will have adequate availability of applicable raw materials in the future. -7- Foreign Operations The Company does not believe that there are unusual risks attendant to its foreign operations. Competition All the activities of the Company are in competition with similar activities carried on by other companies. In particular, there are several companies engaged in the business of leasing tank cars in the United States and Canada. The largest competitor is General American Transportation Corporation (including its Canadian affiliate, Canadian General Transit Company, Limited). The other principal competitors in the leasing business are ACF Industries, Incorporated, and General Electric Railcar Services Corporation. The principal competitive factors are price, service and product design. The Company's integration of its North American engineering, manufacturing, repair and leasing activities has enhanced its ability to provide competitive products and services to its customers. Railcar Supply and Demand The demand for tank cars and bulk plastic hopper cars is generally met with a combination of the industry's existing fleet and new car additions. The industry's generally high overall utilization of the tank car and bulk plastic covered hopper car fleets is evidence of an appropriate level and mix of equipment to meet existing car demands. New railcars are needed to satisfy growth, specialized requirements, or the desire of certain customers to utilize newer equipment. Since railcars are generally built to customer order, the supply of new railcars generally stays in reasonable balance with demand. The 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. Manufacturing Backlog The Company builds tank cars primarily for use in its leasing business and the number of cars added in any one year is a small percentage of the Company's lease fleet. Additionally, for tank cars built for sale to customers, the Company delivers against orders within a relatively brief period of time. Therefore, backlog is not material to the Company's business or an understanding thereof. Employees As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 3,850 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 1995 the Company spent approximately $4.5 million on remediation and related matters, compared with $8.5 million and $4.7 million in 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company expects to spend approximately $8.5 million in 1996 on similar activities, including approximately $6.6 million for capital expenditures. Management believes that amounts accrued for remedial activities and environmental liabilities (which in the aggregate are not material) are adequate. In October, 1990, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources ("DER") commenced an investigation of alleged violations of the Pennsylvania Solid Waste Management Act with respect to the handling of solid and hazardous waste material at the Company's railcar repair facility in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The Board of Directors of the Company authorized special counsel to conduct an internal investigation of the allegations made against the Altoona facility. The Company is satisfied with current operations at the facility. -8- At the request of the Pennsylvania DER, the Company has cooperated voluntarily in a site assessment of areas of potential environmental contamination at the facility. The Company submitted its consultant's report to the Pennsylvania DER for review in 1994. The Pennsylvania Attorney General's office and the Company's counsel began in discussions to resolve the criminal investigation in 1994. Those discussions are continuing up to the present time. The Company is unable to predict at this time whether satisfactory resolution of the allegations will occur. If there is no satisfactory resolution of the allegations, it is likely that the Pennsylvania authorities will initiate criminal proceedings against the Company. In June, 1993, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") filed an administrative complaint alleging the Company violated Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 by failing to submit Toxic Chemical Release Inventory Reporting Forms relating to its use of certain chemicals in manufacturing operations at its East Chicago, Indiana facility during calendar years 1987-1990. The EPA proposed a civil penalty in the amount of $524,000. The Company has denied the allegations of the complaint and has requested a formal hearing to contest the EPA's allegations and the proposed penalty. The Company is engaging in informal settlement negotiations with the EPA. In August, 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil action against the Company, pursuant to Sections 309(b) and (d) of the Clean Water Act, seeking civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 for each day of violation. In December, 1995, this matter was settled by the Company's payment of a civil penalty of $200,000. The Company has been designated as a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") by the EPA at three sites: Auto Ion Chemical Company, Kalamazoo, Michigan; Douglassville Disposal Site, Union Township, Pennsylvania; and Whitehouse Waste Oil Pits Site, Jacksonville, Florida. Costs incurred to date have not been material, either individually or in the aggregate. Because of the level of the Company's involvement at these sites, management believes that future costs related to these sites will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate. The Company has not entered into any costs sharing arrangements with other PRP's that make it reasonably possible the Company will incur material costs beyond its pro rata share. Further, management does not believe that any problems or uncertainties as to the financial liabilities of other PRP's make it reasonably possible the Company will incur material costs beyond its pro rata share at these sites. The Company's accruals for these sites are based on the amount it reasonably expects to pay with respect to the sites. Management of the Company does not anticipate that the resolution of any of the matters discussed above will have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or business. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES In the opinion of management, the Company's properties are in good condition, substantially utilized and adequate to meet the Company's current and reasonably anticipated future needs. Railcars The Company owns approximately 89 percent of its total lease fleet of 67,612 railcars, of which 53,669 are tank cars and 13,943 are other railway freight cars. Of the approximately 60,427 owned cars, 32,833 are free of liens. Cars which are not owned are leased from others under long-term net leases. -9- Railcar Manufacturing and Assembling Facilities The facilities for the manufacturing and assembling of railcars are located at East Chicago, Indiana; Oakville, Ontario, Canada; and Sheldon, Texas, together occupying approximately 170 acres. Car Servicing and Repair Shops The Company operates a network of shops for repairing and servicing railcars. The principal shops owned by the Company are located at Valdosta, Georgia; Muscatine, Iowa; El Dorado, Kansas; Ville Platte, Louisiana; Marion, Ohio; Altoona, Pennsylvania; Cleveland, Longview, and Sheldon, Texas; Edmonton, Alberta; Sarnia and Oakville, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and Regina, Saskatchewan. Several other repair shops and small repair points are strategically located throughout the United States and Canada. Sulphur Processing A subsidiary of the Company owns facilities in Canada and the Netherlands which process liquefied sulphur into crystalline slates and granules and handle the formed product. Containment Vessel Head Manufacturing Facilities A subsidiary of the Company owns a metal containment vessel head manufacturing facility in Sheldon, Texas. Liquefied Petroleum Gas Storage Facilities A subsidiary of the Company owns several underground liquefied petroleum gas storage caverns in Canada. Other Properties In connection with its other business activities, the Company owns (either directly or through its subsidiaries) fastener manufacturing facilities in Ashland, Ohio; Milton, Ontario; and Montreal, Quebec. In addition, subsidiaries of the Company which manufacture fasteners lease several small plants in the United States, Canada and Sweden. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain numerous sales and business offices and warehouses, most of which are leased, throughout the United States and Canada. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 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, including legal fees, and, in the opinion of management, ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (Dollars in Thousands) Services and net sales $ 856,229 $ 720,864 $ 504,823 $ 618,007 $ 483,416 Net income 84,465 63,378 129,730 48,382 45,024 Ratio of earnings to fixed charges 2.41 2.05 1.89 1.76 1.69 At year end: Total assets 2,003,346 2,017,772 2,054,867 2,063,267 2,253,760 Long-term obligations 732,207 807,029 869,440 869,656 1,059,072 The increases in 1995, 1994 and 1992 services and net sales are primarily the result of sale-leaseback transactions of $130,517, $125,500 and $124,900, respectively. The 1993 increase in net income includes an $80,000 credit to earnings to reflect the adoption of SFAS 109. ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 1995 versus 1994 Results of Operations - - --------------------- Service revenues increased $53.3 million. Slightly more than half of the increase resulted from expansion of the Company's sulphur service operations. The remaining increase was primarily due to the effect of cars added to the railcar lease fleet. Gross profit increased approximately 6% from 1994. Excluding the effects of sale-leaseback transactions, net sales revenues in 1995 increased $77.1 million, primarily due to increased railcar sales of $62.2 million. Other income increased $3.6 million, primarily due to interest earned on an increased average balance advanced to the Company's parent, as well as an increase in the average interest rate. Interest expense decreased $10.3 million primarily due to lower average balances of debt outstanding and a lower average interest rate on debt outstanding. -11- Financial Condition - - ------------------- Operating activities provided $211.3 million of cash in 1995. These funds, along with the proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction, the issuance of long-term debt, and the collection of funds advanced to parent, were used to provide financing for railcar additions, service borrowed debt obligations 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 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 1995, the Company spent $214.5 million for the construction and purchase of railcars and other fixed assets. The Company received $9.0 million in proceeds from disposals of railcars and other fixed assets, net of $130.5 million in proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction. Of the capital expenditures for construction and purchase of railcars and other fixed assets over the past five years, approximately 90% have been for railcars. Since all material capital expenditures for railcars are incurred subsequent to receipt of firm customer orders, such expenditures are discretionary to the Company based on its desire to invest in those particular railcars. In 1995, the Company issued $30.2 million in long-term equipment trust certificates with an annual interest rate of 6.76% to finance additions to the railcar lease fleet. Other financing activities of the Company included $114.6 million for principal repayments on borrowed debt and $59.0 million for dividends. Net cash used in financing activities was $143.4 million. Management expects that the future cash to be provided by operating activities, long-term railcar financings, and collection of funds previously advanced to parent will be adequate to provide for the continued expansion of the Company's business and enable it to meet its debt service obligations. The following table presents the scheduled cash inflows and outflows over the next five years: ($ in Millions) ------------- 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Cash Inflows - - ------------ Minimum future lease rentals $361.7 $288.0 $222.0 $163.8 $103.6 Cash Outflows - - ------------- Minimum future lease payments 25.4 33.3 33.4 33.7 35.2 Principal amount of equipment obligations 69.4 211.7 68.3 64.6 63.6 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Excess inflows $266.9 $ 43.0 $120.3 $ 65.5 $ 4.8 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== The Company has consistently maintained high fleet utilization. The Company's lease fleet utilization during the last five years has ranged between 95% and 97%, with an average of 96%. Utilization rates of the Company's existing railcars are driven by the long-term requirements of manufacturers and shippers of chemical products, petroleum products, food products, and bulk plastics, and the 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, which average four years for existing equipment and longer for new equipment. 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 Canadian subsidiaries enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against U. S. dollar exposures. Foreign currency forward contracts, all with initial maturities of less than one year, amounted to $5.4 million and $12.6 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Change in Accounting Principle - - ------------------------------ The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Adoption of the new standard in 1996 will not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flow. Other Matters - - ------------- The Company has certain environmental matters currently outstanding, none of 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 this Form 10-K. -12- 1994 versus 1993 Results of Operations - - --------------------- Service revenues increased $12.1 million primarily due to the effect of cars added to the railcar lease fleet offset by lower revenues from sulphur service operations. Gross profit was relatively unchanged from 1993. In December, 1994, the Company entered into two separate sale-leaseback transactions in which it sold $125.5 million of railcars. Excluding these sale- leaseback transactions, net sales revenues in 1994 increased $78.5 million primarily due to increased railcar sales of $62.4 million and manufactured metal containment vessel head sales of $11.3 million. Other income decreased $1.1 million primarily due to lower earned income on direct financing leases. Interest expense decreased $5.1 million primarily due to a lower average effective interest rate on debt outstanding, lower average balances of debt outstanding, as well as the termination of the commercial paper program. Financial Condition - - ------------------- Operating activities provided $163.1 million of cash in 1994. These funds, along with proceeds from the issuance of borrowed debt, proceeds from sale- leaseback transactions, and the collection of funds advanced to parent, were used to provide financing for railcar additions, repay commercial paper obligations, service long-term debt obligations 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 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 1994, the Company spent $189.2 million for the construction and purchase of railcars and other fixed assets. The Company received $19.8 million in proceeds from disposals of railcars and other fixed assets, net of the $125.5 million in proceeds from the sale-leaseback transactions discussed previously. In March, 1994, the Company issued $100.0 million in long-term equipment trust certificates with an annual interest rate of 6.6% to finance additions to the railcar lease fleet. Other financing activities of the Company included $52.4 million for the repayment of commercial paper obligations, $110.9 million for principal repayments on debt and $44.0 million for dividends. Net cash used in financing activities was $107.3 million. -13- ITEM 8.

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 generally accepted auditing standards. 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, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes in the year ended December 31, 1993. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Chicago, Illinois March 7, 1996 -15- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF INCOME (Dollars in Thousands) For the Year Ended December 31, ---------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- ---------- Revenues Services (leasing and other) $499,226 $445,973 $433,904 Net sales 357,003 274,891 70,919 -------- -------- -------- 856,229 720,864 504,823 Other income 19,607 15,959 17,033 -------- -------- -------- 875,836 736,823 521,856 Costs and expenses Cost of services 277,720 236,127 224,820 Cost of sales 330,814 251,615 55,341 General and administrative 55,630 54,120 54,629 Interest 81,179 91,442 96,584 -------- -------- -------- 745,343 633,304 431,374 -------- -------- -------- Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle 130,493 103,519 90,482 Provision for income taxes Current 42,601 28,637 10,151 Deferred 5,973 14,166 33,342 Deferred investment tax credits (2,546) (2,662) (2,741) -------- -------- -------- 46,028 40,141 40,752 -------- -------- -------- Income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle 84,465 63,378 49,730 Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to accounting for income taxes - - 80,000 -------- -------- -------- Net income $ 84,465 $ 63,378 $129,730 ======== ======== ======== Ratio of earnings to fixed charges 2.41 2.05 1.89 ==== ==== ==== See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. -16- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (Dollars in Thousands) December 31, ------------------------ 1995 1994 ---------- ---------- ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 28,781 $ 15,303 Accounts receivable, primarily due within one year, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,340 in 1995 and $5,209 in 1994 71,065 61,005 Inventories 68,477 64,644 Due from affiliate 12,828 13,191 Prepaid expenses and deferred charges 6,479 7,423 Advances to parent company, principally at LIBOR plus 1% 171,161 194,729 Railcar lease fleet, net 1,430,196 1,451,999 Fixed assets, net 148,985 130,895 Investment in direct financing lease 37,898 37,213 Other assets 27,476 41,370 ---------- ---------- Total assets $2,003,346 $2,017,772 ========== ========== LIABILITIES, DEFERRED ITEMS AND STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY Accounts payable $ 36,791 $ 16,096 Accrued liabilities 143,392 129,059 Borrowed debt 801,585 882,407 ---------- ---------- 981,768 1,027,562 Deferred items Income taxes 468,170 459,893 Investment tax credits 22,935 25,309 ---------- ---------- 491,105 485,202 Stockholder's equity Common stock, no par value;

Ownership UNION TANK CAR COMPANY (with its wholly-owned subsidiaries herein collectively referred to, unless the context otherwise requires, as the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marmon Industrial Corporation ("MIC") and a 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. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents includes all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Lessor Accounting Operating Leases - Most of the Company's railcar 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 against such revenues 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. Depreciation and Fixed Assets Accounting Railcars 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, 25-30 years; buildings and improvements, 20-30 years; and machinery and equipment, 3-20 years. -20- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The cost of major conversions and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful life or, if shorter, the remaining useful life of the related asset. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Gain or loss on disposals is included in other income, except for those related to railcar disposals which are included in cost of services. Deferred Income Taxes The Company provides deferred taxes for temporary differences between pre-tax accounting income and taxable income (principally related to railcar depreciation). Deferred Investment Tax Credits United States investment tax credits (as generated through 1986 and to the extent not transferred to lessees) and Canadian investment tax credits result in a reduction of current or deferred income taxes and are due primarily to investments in certain new railcars. Investment tax credits retained are deferred and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Foreign Currency Translation All 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 assumed by the Company's parent. For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, MIC absorbed gains of $934, $271 and $57, respectively. Also in 1994, MIC assumed a loss of $6,102 related to U. S. dollar denominated debt held by a Canadian subsidiary of the Company. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Fair Value of Financial Instruments All book value amounts for financial instruments approximate the instruments' fair value except for the borrowed debt discussed in Note 8. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. -21- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. 3. Railcar Lease Data Railcars are leased directly to several hundred shippers, located throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company leases to a wide variety of customers, and no customer accounted for more than 5% of consolidated lease revenues. The leases involve one to several thousand cars, normally for periods ranging from one to twenty years. The average term of leases entered into during 1995 for newly-manufactured cars was approximately nine years. The average term of leases entered into during 1995 for other cars was approximately four years. Under the terms of most of the leases the Company agrees to provide a full range of services including car repair and maintenance. Minimum future rentals to be received on railcar leases at December 31, 1995, are as follows: Direct Financing Operating Leases Leases Total --------- ---------- ----------- 1996 $ 3,949 $ 357,773 $ 361,722 1997 3,949 284,022 287,971 1998 3,949 218,074 222,023 1999 3,949 160,021 163,970 2000 4,165 99,447 103,612 2001 and after 2,265 222,125 224,390 ------- ---------- ---------- Totals $22,226 $1,341,462 $1,363,688 ======= ========== ========== The investment in railcars on direct financing leases is recoverable from future lease payments and estimated residual values.

The railcar lease fleet includes the following capitalized leases: December 31, -------------------- 1995 1994 --------- --------- Capitalized lease cost $16,271 $16,127 Less accumulated depreciation (7,546) (7,034) ------- ------- $ 8,725 $ 9,093 ======= ======= In 1995, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback transaction with a trust for the benefit of an institutional investor pursuant to which it sold and leased back an aggregate of $130,517 in railcars. The Company has an option to purchase all or a portion of the railcars at a fixed purchase price on January 2, 2006. The lease expires on January 2, 2012. In 1994, the Company entered into two separate sale-leaseback transactions with trusts for the benefit of certain institutional investors pursuant to which it sold and leased back an aggregate of $125,500 in railcars. The Company has an option to purchase all or a portion of the railcars at a fixed purchase price on January 2, 2005 with respect to certain railcars and January 2, 2006 with respect to the other railcars. Each lease expires on July 2, 2010. -24- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) At December 31, 1995, future minimum rental commitments for all noncancellable leases are as follows: Operating Leases ------------------------------- Capitalized Sale- Other Total Leases Leaseback Operating Operating ----------- --------- --------- --------- 1996 $ 2,973 $ 22,797 $ 2,646 $ 25,443 1997 1,529 31,523 1,779 33,302 1998 85 31,670 1,766 33,436 1999 85 31,983 1,745 33,728 2000 85 33,514 1,705 35,219 2001 and after 84 427,507 1,552 429,059 ------- -------- -------- --------- $ 4,841 $578,994 $ 11,193 $590,187 ======== ======== ========= Less amount representing interest (886) ------- Present value of minimum lease payments 3,955 Less current portion (2,359) ------- Long-term obligation at December 31, 1995 $ 1,596 ======= Minimum future sublease income to be received under existing capitalized and sale-leaseback leases as of December 31, 1995 is presented below. Future sublease income under other existing operating leases is not material and is primarily included in other income. The Company expects that the subleased cars will be re-leased at the expiration of such subleases. The rentals under such future subleases cannot be ascertained and therefore are not reflected in this table.

The above equipment obligations include $3,955 and $5,938 of capitalized leases at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The senior notes contain certain provisions regarding asset sales and sale- leaseback restrictions. As of December 31, 1995, the Company is in compliance with all debt covenants. In 1995, the Company issued $30,236 in long-term equipment trust certificates to finance additions to its railcar fleet. The certificates bear interest at a rate of 6.76% per annum. Interest is due semi-annually through January 2, 2006, commencing in January, 1996. Principal will be due January 2, 2006. The Company's Canadian subsidiaries have approximately $13,194 of credit lines available on a no-charge basis. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 1995 and 1994. -26- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) During the second quarter of 1994, the Company repaid all outstanding commercial paper (through reductions in advances to parent) and suspended its commercial paper program effective May 23, 1994. On May 26, 1994, the Company terminated the revolving credit agreement which had served as a liquidity back-up to the commercial paper program. Expenses associated with the credit agreement (approximately $84 in 1994 and $370 in 1993) are included in interest expense. Maturities of debt obligations for the years 1996 - 2000 are $477,639, as follows: $69,378 in 1996, $211,739 in 1997, $68,333 in 1998, $64,629 in 1999 and $63,560 in 2000. The estimated fair value of borrowed debt is as follows: December 31, -------------------- 1995 1994 --------- --------- Equipment obligations $706,800 $728,314 Senior notes 151,509 147,546 Other long-term borrowings 35,903 32,278 -------- -------- $894,212 $908,138 ======== ======== The current fair value of the Company's borrowed debt is estimated by discounting the future interest and principal cash flows at the Company's estimated incremental borrowing rate at the respective year-end for debt with similar maturities. The Company currently anticipates holding all borrowed debt obligations until maturity. 9. Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of Holdings. Under an arrangement with MIC, federal income taxes, before consideration of investment 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, MIC on this basis. If deductions and credits available to Holdings' entire consolidated group exceed those which can be used on the 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 such earnings nor is it practicable to determine the amount of any such liability. -27- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The following summarizes the provision for income taxes on income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle: 1995 1994 1993 --------- --------- --------- State Current $ 455 $ 282 $ 144 Deferred 598 1,424 2,276 Federal Current 24,288 12,525 (5,524) Deferred 7,469 14,840 33,886 Deferred investment tax credit (1,763) (1,882) (1,868) Foreign Current 17,858 15,830 15,531 Deferred (2,094) (2,098) (2,820) Deferred investment tax credit (783) (780) (873) ------- ------- ------- Total $46,028 $40,141 $40,752 ======= ======= ======= In 1995, 1994, and 1993 the Company paid foreign withholding taxes of $1,628, $1,723, and $627, respectively. Current U.S. income tax provisions were reduced, and deferred tax provisions increased, by $5,907 in 1994 and $9,280 in 1993 due to utilization of U.S. alternative minimum tax credits which had been provided for in 1990 and 1991. Income tax expense is based upon domestic and foreign income before taxes and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as follows: 1995 1994 1993 --------- --------- -------- Domestic $ 96,844 $ 76,770 $64,248 Foreign 33,649 26,749 26,234 -------- -------- ------- Total $130,493 $103,519 $90,482 ======== ======== ======= -28- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) Income tax effects of significant items which resulted in effective tax rates of 35.3% in 1995, 38.8% in 1994, and 45.0% in 1993 follow: 1995 1994 1993 --------- --------- --------- Federal income taxes at 35% statutory rate $45,673 $36,232 $31,669 Increase (decrease) resulting from: Amortization of investment tax credits (2,546) (2,662) (2,741) State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 894 1,109 1,573 Excess tax provided on foreign income 1,292 4,370 3,529 Effect on deferred taxes of statutory rate increase from 34% to 35% - - 7,300 Other, net 715 1,092 (578) ------- ------- ------- Total income taxes $46,028 $40,141 $40,752 ======= ======= ======= The excess tax on foreign income represents differences due to higher foreign tax rates and foreign tax credits not benefitted. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company prospectively adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," (SFAS 109) and changed from the deferred method to the asset and liability approach to accounting for income taxes. The cumulative effect of this accounting change as of that date is reflected in the 1993 consolidated statement of income as an $80,000 credit to earnings for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The December 31, 1995 and 1994 net deferred income tax liabilities of $468,170 and $459,893 shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet are composed of $504,065 and $493,626 in deferred tax liabilities, partially offset by $35,895 and $33,733 in deferred tax assets, respectively. These deferred income tax assets and (liabilities) result from the following temporary differences: 1995 1994 ----------- ----------- Excess of tax over book depreciation $(471,403) $(462,405) Other (32,662) (31,221) --------- --------- Gross liabilities (504,065) (493,626) Expenses per books not yet deductible for tax 18,345 17,566 Other tax credits 17,550 16,167 --------- --------- Gross assets 35,895 33,733 --------- --------- Net liability $(468,170) $(459,893) ========= ========= -29- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The above assets exclude certain state deferred income tax assets related to loss carryforwards (which expire over the next thirteen years) in the gross amount of $11,000. These assets have been assigned a 100% valuation reserve due to significant uncertainty as to ultimate realizability. There have been no changes in any asset valuation reserves for the year ended December 31, 1995. 10. 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 rail cars. 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 certain environmental matters currently outstanding, none of 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 this Form 10-K. 11. 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 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $6,202, $5,892 and $5,164, respectively. As of December 31, 1995, the Company's domestic defined benefit plans were either in the process of being terminated (and their benefits frozen) or were completely 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. Certain foreign subsidiaries sponsor unfunded defined benefit plans which cover substantially all of their regular, full-time employees. Benefits are based on both years of service and compensation. Defined benefit pension plan expense was $320, $357 and $371 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Accrued defined benefit pension liability recognized in the consolidated balance sheet was $3,297 and $6,556 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. -30- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 12. 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, 1995 and 1994, the liability for postretirement health care and life insurance benefits was $3,739 and $4,298 respectively, and was included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Expense related to these benefits was $326, $359 and $590 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 13. Other Income 1995 1994 1993 ------- ------- ------- Interest income $13,251 $10,103 $10,375 Earned income on direct financing leases 6,913 7,206 8,037 Goodwill amortization - - (407) Minority interest in net income (896) (790) (704) Other 339 (560) (268) ------- ------- ------- $19,607 $15,959 $17,033 ======= ======= ======= Interest income presented above includes interest earned on advances to MIC as described in Note 16. 14. 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 cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and such interest, amortization and the interest component of rentals. -31- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 15.

Revenues from these leases are classified in the preceding table as service revenues. -32- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) The Company from time to time advances funds in excess of its current cash requirements for domestic operations to MIC or MIC's subsidiaries on an unsecured demand basis. Such advances, which bear interest principally at LIBOR plus 1%, amounted to $164,521 and $180,057 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Certain of the Company's Canadian operations and its affiliates enter into intercompany loans utilizing their respective excess cash balances. These advances between the Company and subsidiaries of MIC resulted in a receivable of $6,640 and $14,672 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, that are included in Advances to Parent Company. Management fees are paid to The Marmon Group, Inc. ("Marmon"), a subsidiary of Holdings and an affiliate of MIC, for certain services provided by Marmon's officers and employees including services with respect to accounting, tax, finance, legal and related matters which Marmon provides to certain of Holdings' divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates. Marmon provides these services to the Company because it is considered more cost efficient to provide such services in this manner. The management fee which Marmon charges to the Company and other entities that it manages is determined in the following manner. First, budgeted administrative expenses of Marmon for the twelve month period following the date of computation (including wages, salaries and related expenses, rent, utilities, travel expenses and other similar expenses, but excluding extraordinary and non- recurring items) are multiplied by the average of the following three percentages (each of which is given equal weight): (1) the percent of the sales and services revenues of the Company to the total sales and services revenues of all managed entities, including the Company; (2) the percent of the assets of the Company to the assets of all managed entities, including the Company; and (3) the percent of the net income of the Company to the net income of all managed entities, including the Company. In making this computation, Marmon uses sales and services revenues and net income from the beginning of the year to the approximate date of computation and assets at that date. Marmon's management takes the amount derived from this formula and applies discretion to determine the final management fee to be charged. The factors which are considered include matters such as the following: any known operating problems and risks that require or may require additional time to be devoted to the Company by Marmon's management; significant expansion programs; significant contracts; unusual tax or accounting matters; and the experience and length of service of the Company's management. Included in the preceding table as insurance billed are $1,071 in 1995, $1,179 in 1994 and $159 in 1993 for insurance premiums for coverage that was insured or reinsured with an insurance company which the Company has been advised is controlled by trusts for the benefit of an individual related by marriage to a member of the Pritzker family. In 1986, the Company entered into a partnership with an affiliate for the purpose of purchasing used railcars. The Company's investment as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 was $46,814 and $43,229, respectively, which represents 80% ownership in this partnership. The minority partner's interest in the partnership at December 31, 1995 and 1994 is $11,704 and $10,808, respectively, which is included in accrued liabilities. The minority interest in income, $896, $790 and $704 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, is reflected in other income. -33- UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 17.

("Hawker Siddeley") and Hawker Canada Holdings Inc. ("Hawker Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hawker Siddeley, whereby Procor agreed to make a takeover bid for all of the outstanding shares of Hawker Holdings immediately following the completion of a corporate reorganization by Hawker Siddeley pursuant to which Hawker Siddeley will transfer its 55% ownership in CGTX Inc. to Hawker Holdings. The aggregate cash price is Cdn. $120,000 ($87,960 at the December 31, 1995 exchange rate of .733). On March 4, 1996, GATX Corporation and its subsidiaries, General American Transportation Company ("GATC") and 314072 Canada Inc., initiated a lawsuit against Hawker Siddeley, Hawker Holdings, Procor, Marmon Holdings, Inc., and others, alleging the proposed corporate reorganization of Hawker Siddeley does not comply with the terms of a shareholder's agreement between Hawker Siddeley and GATC relating to their ownership in CGTX Inc. While management believes its agreement with Hawker Siddeley and Hawker Holdings should be allowed to proceed, the Company is unable to predict at this time what the results of the lawsuit will be. -35- ITEM 9.
