Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
     The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Trinity”, “Company”, “we” or “our”). In our opinion, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2007, the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, and cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been made in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 may not be indicative of expected results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2007. These interim financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the instructions to Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement.
     In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
     The provisions of SFAS 159 and SFAS 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the provisions of SFAS 159 and SFAS 157.
Reclassifications
     Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation for discontinued operations.
Note 2. Acquisition and Divestitures
     In June 2006, we sold our weld pipe fittings business (“Fittings”). In August 2006, we also sold our European Rail business (“Europe”). Condensed results of operations relating to Fittings and Europe for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were as follows:
                                 
    Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended

          (1.1 )           0.5

          (1.5 )     4.5       (11.1 )
Provision (benefit) for income taxes

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations
  $ 0.2     $ (3.4 )   $ 3.0     $ (8.6 )
 
                       
     In September 2006, we implemented a plan to divest our Brazilian operations. Total net assets of these operations as of September 30, 2007 were $2.4 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, revenues and net income from these discontinued operations were insignificant.

The businesses were owned by a common group of individuals and companies. The total acquisition cost was $30.5 million paid at closing, additional future cash consideration of $5.2 million to be paid during the next three to five years, and contingent payments not to exceed $6.0 million paid during a three year period. In connection with the acquisition, Transit Mix recorded goodwill of $17.1 million. Annual revenues for the acquired businesses are estimated to be approximately $55.0 million. The acquired group will be a part of our Construction Products Group.
Note 3. Segment Information
     The Company reports operating results in five principal business segments: (1) the Rail Group, which manufactures and sells railcars and component parts; (2) the Construction Products Group, which manufactures and sells highway products, concrete and aggregates, and girders and beams used in the construction of highway and railway bridges; (3) the Inland Barge Group, which manufactures and sells barges and related products for inland waterway services; (4) the Energy Equipment Group, which manufactures and sells products for energy related businesses, including tank heads, structural wind towers, and pressure and non-pressure containers for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases and other liquid and dry products; and (5) the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group, which provides fleet management, maintenance, and leasing services. The category All Other includes our captive insurance and transportation companies, legal and environmental costs associated with non-operating facilities, other peripheral businesses, and the change in market valuation related to ineffective commodity hedges. Historical segment information has been retroactively adjusted to exclude the Fittings and Europe divestitures described in Note 2 from the Construction Products and Rail Groups, respectively.
     Sales and related profits from the Rail Group to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group are recorded in the Rail Group and eliminated in consolidation. Sales of railcars from the lease fleet are included in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group. Sales between groups are recorded at prices comparable to those charged to external customers.
     The financial information from continuing operations for these segments is shown in the tables below. We operate principally in the continental United States and Mexico.

     The Leasing Group completed a series of financing transactions whereby railcars were sold to one or more separate independent owner trusts (“Trusts”). See Note 4 of the December 31, 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements filed on Form 10-K for a detailed explanation of these financing transactions. Future operating lease obligations of the Leasing Group’s subsidiaries as well as future minimum rental revenues related to these leases due to the Leasing Group are as follows:

     The Leasing Group’s debt consists of both recourse and non-recourse debt. See Note 10 for maturities of debt. Equipment with a net book value of $982.5 million is pledged as collateral for Leasing Group debt. Equipment with a net book value of $107.8 million is pledged as collateral against lease obligations.
Note 5. Equity Investment
     In June 2007, Trinity purchased 20% of the equity in newly-formed TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) for $8.1 million. Trinity funded an additional $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, totaling a $15.3 million investment in TRIP Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. TRIP Holdings provides railcar leasing and management services in North America. Trinity also paid $13.8 million in structuring and placement fees that are being expensed on a pro rata basis as railcars are purchased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRIP Holdings, TRIP Rail Leasing LLC (“TRIP Leasing”). TRIP Holding’s remaining equity is held by five investors not related to Trinity or our subsidiaries. Trinity’s remaining equity commitment to TRIP Holdings is $33.7 million. As part of the transaction, TRIP Leasing plans to purchase approximately $1.4 billion in railcars from Trinity’s Rail Group and Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity. Purchases of railcars by TRIP Leasing are funded by capital contributions from TRIP Holdings and third party debt. The Company has no obligation to guarantee performance under the debt agreement, guarantee any residual values, shield any parties from losses, or guarantee minimum yields.
     TILC serves as manager of TRIP Holdings and has the authority to bind TRIP Holdings and perform all acts necessary to conduct the business of TRIP Holdings. For its services as manager, TILC receives a monthly administrative fee and a potential performance fee. Additionally, a disposition fee may be earned by TILC if, no more than twelve months prior to a liquidity event, TILC was serving as the manager. The manager may be removed without cause as a result of a majority vote of the non-Trinity equity members. TILC also serves as servicer under an agreement between TRIP Leasing and TILC, providing remarketing and management services. For its services as servicer, TILC receives: 1) a monthly servicing fee, 2) a broker fee on the purchase of equipment by TRIP Leasing and 3) a sales fee on the sale of equipment by TRIP Leasing to an unaffiliated third party. The servicer may be terminated upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a servicer replacement event by a vote of the lenders with credit exposure in the aggregate exceeding 66 2/3%.
     Based on the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interests Entities (“FIN 46R”), TRIP Holdings does not qualify as a variable interest entity. The equity method of accounting will be used to account for our investment in TRIP Holdings. Profit on equipment sales to TRIP Leasing is recognized at the time of sale to the extent of the non-Trinity interests in TRIP Leasing. The deferred profit on the sale of equipment to TRIP Leasing pertaining to TILC’s interest in TRIP Holdings is amortized over the depreciable life of the related equipment. All other fee income to TILC earned from services provided to TRIP Holdings is recognized by TILC to the extent of the non-Trinity interests in TRIP Holdings.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Rail Group sold $138.5 million and TILC sold $93.8 million of railcars to TRIP Leasing resulting in a gain of $42.1 million, of which $8.5 million was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. Fees for the same period were insignificant. The purchases were financed with borrowings by TRIP Leasing of $198.2 million and the remainder with capital contributions from TRIP Holdings. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Rail Group sold $138.5 and TILC sold $187.5 million of railcars to TRIP Leasing resulting in a gain of $56.5 million, of which $11.5 million was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. Fees for the same period were insignificant. The purchases were financed with borrowings by TRIP Leasing of $277.8 million and the remainder with capital contributions from TRIP Holdings.
Note 6. Derivative Instruments
     The Company uses interest rate swaps to fix the LIBOR component for a portion of our outstanding debt. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Trinity had a $15.0 million interest rate swap which expired in the third quarter of 2007. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 was not significant and for year-to-date was $0.4 million of income. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 was income of $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
     In anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during 2005 and 2006. These instruments, with a notional amount of $200 million, fixed the interest rate on a portion of a future debt issuance associated with a 2006 railcar leasing transaction and settled at maturity in the first quarter of 2006. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 4.87%. These interest rate swaps were accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments of $4.5 million recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) through the date the related debt issuance closed in May 2006. The balance is being amortized over the term of the related debt. As of the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the balance remaining in AOCL was $3.9 million. The effect of the amortization on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The effect of the amortization on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 was not significant.
     In addition, in anticipation of a future debt issuance, we entered into interest rate swap transactions during the fourth quarter of 2006 and the first nine months of 2007. These instruments, with a notional amount of $370 million, hedge the interest rate on a future debt issuance associated with an anticipated secured borrowing facility in 2007 and will expire in the fourth quarter of 2007. The weighted average fixed interest rate under these instruments was 5.20%. These interest rate swaps are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in the fair value of the instruments being recorded in AOCL. The balance in AOCL as of September 30, 2007 was not significant.
     We continue a program to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in the price of our natural gas and diesel fuel purchases. The intent of the program is to protect our operating profit and overall profitability from adverse price changes by entering into derivative instruments. The majority of these instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and changes in their valuation are recorded directly to the consolidated statement of operations. The amount recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for these instruments was an asset of $0.6 million as of September 30, 2007. The balance in AOCL as of September 30, 2007 was not significant. The effect on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was income of $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and for the three and nine month periods September 30, 2006 was an expense of $2.6 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

     Trinity’s revolving credit facility matures April 2011. The agreement requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for Trinity’s leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, and minimum net worth. In June 2007, Trinity amended the revolving credit facility to increase the permitted leverage ratio and add a senior leverage ratio, as well as other minor modifications. At September 30, 2007, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. After $97.9 million was considered for letters of credit, $252.1 million was available under the revolving credit facility. Subsequent to September 30, 2007, Trinity amended and restated its revolving credit agreement. The new agreement is a $425 million facility that matures October 19, 2012. Other minor changes were made to the agreement.
     In August 2007, TILC extended its $375 million non-recourse warehouse facility through August 2009, amended certain terms of the existing facility, and increased the facility by $25 million to $400 million. This facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $337.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The warehouse facility is due August 2009 and unless renewed will be payable in three equal installments in February 2010, August 2010, and February 2011. Railcars financed by the warehouse facility have historically been refinanced under long-term financing agreements. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 78% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in rate of 6.62% at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, $63.0 million was available under this facility.
     Terms and conditions of other debt are described in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
     The remaining principal payments under existing debt agreements as of September 30, 2007 are as follows:

Note 14. Stock-Based Compensation
     On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123R Share-Based Payment which requires companies to recognize in their financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments. These costs are based on the grant date fair-value of those awards. Stock-based compensation includes compensation expense, recognized over the applicable vesting periods, for both new share-based awards and share-based awards granted prior to, but not yet vested, as of January 1, 2006. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $5.3 million and $13.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Stock-based compensation totaled approximately $4.5 million and $9.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
Note 15. Net Income Per Common Share
     Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the calculation of diluted net income per common share includes the impact of shares that could be issued under outstanding stock options. Anti-dilutive stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were equivalent to 0.2 million and 0.1 million shares, respectively. The number of anti-dilutive stock options for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 was equivalent to 0.5 million and 0.2 million shares, respectively.

Note 16. Contingencies
     Barge Litigation
     The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Marine Products, Inc. (“TMP”), and certain material suppliers and others, are co-defendants in a lawsuit filed by Waxler Transportation, Inc. (the “Waxler Case”). The plaintiff has petitioned the court for certification of a class which, if certified, could significantly increase the total number of barges at issue. The current class representative owns four tank barges on which allegedly defective coatings were applied. These four barges were sold at an approximate average price of $1.4 million. Legal counsel for the Company and TMP have each advised that factual disputes exist regarding the legal merits of class certification. Discovery is underway in the case and the court has scheduled the class certification hearing for December 2007. Independent experts investigating the claims for the Company and TMP have opined that the plaintiff’s assertion the coating applied to the barges is a food source for microbiologically influenced corrosion is without merit. While the Company and TMP have continued to vigorously defend the Waxler Case, in order to avoid the commitment of management and executive time and the legal, expert, and transactional costs associated with litigating the claims alleged, the Company and TMP have reached an agreement with the class representative and their counsel to resolve the litigation, which agreement has been preliminarily approved by the court. We reserved an additional $15.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, bringing the total reserve to $18.0

million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities assuming this settlement is implemented. The deadline for putative class members to opt-out of the class or object to the settlement was in October 2007, and as of the date of this filing, there were no opt-outs or objections filed. The court has scheduled the fairness hearing for November 2007, at which time the court will hear arguments from putative class members, if any, who object to the settlement. If the preliminary class settlement agreement does not ultimately become effective, the Company and TMP will continue to vigorously defend all claims alleged in the litigation.
     Other Litigation
     Transit Mix is named as a defendant in a case involving the death of an employee of an independent contractor who was working at a Transit Mix facility. Following a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff, the presiding judge entered a final judgment that, together with fees, costs, and judgment interest, totaled $48.5 million. This case was appealed by Transit Mix and its insurers. In October 2006, the original trial court judgment was reversed and a take-nothing judgment was rendered by the Eleventh Court of Appeals, State of Texas. Plaintiffs filed a motion for rehearing in such court, which was denied. On March 22, 2007, Plaintiffs filed their Petition for Review with the Texas Supreme Court. Transit Mix filed its Response to Plaintiff’s Petition for Review on July 13, 2007. In September 2007, the Texas Supreme Court requested briefing by the parties on the underlying merits of the case. The Court has not yet granted the Plaintiff’s Petition for Review.
     We are also involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. Based on information currently available, it is management’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.
     We are subject to federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and the workplace. We believe that we are currently in substantial compliance with such laws and regulations.
     We are involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters. We have reserved $13.0 million to cover our probable and estimable liabilities with respect to investigation, assessment, and remedial response to such matters, taking into account currently available information and our contractual rights to indemnification and recourse to third parties. However, estimates of future remedial response costs are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will not become involved in future environmental litigation or other proceedings or, if we are found to be responsible or liable in any such litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.
Note 17. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
     In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“SFAS 109”). This interpretation, which became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, introduces a new approach that significantly changes how enterprises recognize and measure tax benefits associated with tax positions and how enterprises disclose uncertainties related to income tax positions in their financial statements.
     This interpretation applies to all tax positions within the scope of SFAS 109 and establishes a single approach in which a recognition and measurement threshold is used to determine the amount of tax benefit that should be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on (1) the recognition, derecognition, and measurement of uncertain tax positions in a period subsequent to that in which the tax position is taken; (2) the accounting for interest and penalties; (3) the presentation and classification of recorded amounts in the financial statements; and (4) disclosure requirements.
     On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result, we recorded a $3.1 million charge to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. This amount is inclusive of penalties and interest, net of deferred tax assets that were recorded against uncertain tax positions related to state income taxes and federal and state interest expense that was accrued.
     Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company had recorded $8.3 million of tax contingency reserves. Additionally, $20.7 million of deferred tax liabilities had been recorded for items that have been identified as uncertain tax positions that have now been reclassified as a FIN 48 liability. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, we identified an additional $3.0 million of taxes related to uncertain tax positions which increased our total FIN 48 balance on January 1, 2007 to $32.0 million.

     The change in unrecognized tax benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is as follows (in millions):
         
Balance at January 1, 2007
  $ 32.0  
Additions for tax positions of prior years
    1.9  
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
    (11.3 )
Settlements
    (0.5 )
 
     
Balance at September 30, 2007
  $ 22.1  
 
     
     The additions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, are due to deferred tax liabilities that have been reclassed as uncertain tax positions.
     The reduction for tax positions of prior years relates primarily to temporary items that we had previously intended to take a position on in the 2006 Federal Income Tax Return (“tax return”) that would have resulted in an uncertain tax position. During the third quarter of 2007, that tax position was not taken on the tax return when it was filed in September 2007, thus there is no longer an uncertain tax position liability related to this item. The nature of this item was temporary; therefore, there was not an impact to the overall effective tax rate related to this item.
     The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2007, that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized was determined to be $9.0 million. There is a reasonable possibility that unrecognized federal and state tax benefits will decrease by September 30, 2008 due to a lapse in the statute of limitations for assessing tax. Further, there is a reasonable possibility that the unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state tax positions will decrease significantly by September 30, 2008 due to settlements with taxing authorities. Amounts expected to settle or lapse in the statute of limitations by September 30, 2008 are $4.6 million.
     Trinity accounts for interest expense and penalties related to income tax issues as income tax expense. Accordingly, interest expense and penalties associated with an uncertain tax position are included in the income tax provision. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of January 1, 2007 was $5.8 million. The total amount of accrued interest and penalties as of September 30, 2007 was $7.5 million.
     Income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, includes $(0.7) million and $1.7 million, respectively, in interest expense (benefit) and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
     We are currently under Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination for the tax years ended 1998 through 2002 and 2004 through 2005, thus our statute remains open from the year ended March 31, 1998, forward. We expect the 1998 through 2002 examination to be completed within the next twelve months and expect the 2004 through 2005 examination to be completed within the next eighteen to twenty-four months. In addition, statutes of limitations governing the right of Mexico’s tax authorities to audit the tax returns of our Mexican operations remain open for the 2002 tax year forward. Our various European subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that were sold during 2006, are impacted by various statutes of limitations which are generally open from 2001 forward. An exception to this is our Romanian operations, which have been audited through 2004. Generally, states’ statutes in the United States are open from 2002 forward.
Note 18. Financial Statements for Guarantors

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
     In September 2007, our subsidiary, Transit Mix Concrete & Materials Company (“Transit Mix”), sold a group of assets in South Texas. Included in the sale were four ready mix concrete facilities. Annual revenues from the assets sold represented approximately $17.0 million. In connection with the sale, goodwill of $0.7 million was written-off. In August 2007, Transit Mix sold three ready mix concrete facilities in West Texas. Total proceeds from the third quarter dispositions were $9.7 million with an after-tax gain of $1.8 million. These assets were part of our Construction Products Group.
     In August 2007, our subsidiary, Trinity Highway Products, LLC (“Trinity Highway”), acquired companies operating under the names of Central Fabricators, Inc. and Central Galvanizing, Inc. The total acquisition cost was $15.5 million paid at closing, plus 325,800 shares of Trinity common stock valued at $11.7 million, and additional future cash consideration of $5.5 million to be paid during the next five years. In connection with the acquisition, Trinity Highway recorded goodwill of approximately $21.1 million. The final acquisition cost is subject to final adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. Annual revenues for the acquired businesses are estimated to be approximately $26.0 million. The acquired companies will be a part of our Construction Products Group.
     In August and September 2007, Transit Mix and one of its subsidiaries acquired assets in two separate transactions for a total of approximately $4.9 million. The acquired assets will be a part of our Construction Products Group.
     In May 2007, Transit Mix sold a group of assets in Houston, Texas. Included in the sale were seven ready mix concrete facilities and an aggregates distribution yard. Annual revenues related to the ready mix concrete assets sold represented approximately $40.0 million. In connection with the sale, goodwill of $1.2 million was written-off. In June 2007, Transit Mix sold two ready mix concrete facilities in the North Texas area. Total proceeds from the second quarter dispositions were $33.2 million with an after-tax gain of $7.5 million. These assets were part of our Construction Products Group.
     In April 2007, Transit Mix acquired a combined group of East Texas asphalt, ready mix concrete, and aggregates businesses operating under the name Armor Materials. The businesses were owned by a common group of individuals and companies. The total acquisition cost was $30.5 million paid at closing, additional future cash consideration of $5.2 million to be paid during the next three to five years, and contingent payments not to exceed $6.0 million paid during a three year period. In connection with the acquisition, Transit Mix recorded goodwill of $17.1 million. Annual revenues for the acquired businesses are estimated to be approximately $55.0 million. The acquired group will be a part of our Construction Products Group.
     In June 2007, Trinity purchased 20% of the equity in newly-formed TRIP Rail Holdings LLC (“TRIP Holdings”) for $8.1 million. Trinity funded an additional $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, totaling a $15.3 million investment in TRIP Holdings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. TRIP Holdings provides railcar leasing and management services in North America. Trinity also paid $13.8 million in structuring and placement fees that are being expensed on a pro rata basis as railcars are purchased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRIP Holdings, TRIP Rail Leasing LLC (“TRIP Leasing”). TRIP Holding’s remaining equity is held by five investors not related to Trinity or our subsidiaries. Trinity’s remaining equity commitment to TRIP Holdings is $33.7 million. As part of the transaction, TRIP Leasing plans to purchase approximately $1.4 billion in railcars from Trinity’s Rail Group and Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity. Purchases of railcars by TRIP Leasing are funded by capital contributions from TRIP Holdings and third party debt. The Company has no obligation to guarantee performance under the debt agreement, guarantee any residual values, shield any parties from losses, or guarantee minimum yields. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document.

     Revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 increased due to higher total sales across all segments. Increased railcar shipments to our Leasing Group, partially offset by a decline in external sales in the nine month period, yielded higher revenues for the Rail Group. The increase in revenues for the Construction Products Group can be attributed primarily to increased sales volumes in our aggregates business and an increase in various raw material costs that have resulted in higher sales prices offset by decreased volumes in our highway products and concrete businesses. Inland Barge Group revenues increased primarily as a result of greater barge shipments and a change in the mix of barges sold. An increase in structural wind towers sales was the primary reason for the revenue increase in the Energy Equipment Group. Higher rental revenues related to additions to the fleet and increased sales of cars from the lease fleet drove revenue increases in the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group.

     Operating profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 increased as the result of higher revenues, an increase in the size of our lease fleet, and increased sales of cars from the lease fleet. These improvements were offset by a $15.0 million charge for the potential resolution of a barge litigation settlement for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. See Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Other Income and Expense. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $17.0 million and $47.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to $12.4 million and $37.2 million, respectively,

for the same periods last year. Interest income decreased $3.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, over the same periods last year primarily due to lower investment income as a result of lower interest rates and a decrease in cash available for investment, partially offset by an increase in leasing interest income. Interest expense increased $1.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively, over the same periods last year due to an increase in debt levels. The increase in Other, net for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to gains on the disposal of property, plant, and equipment and foreign currency gains partially offset by the write-down of an equity investment.
     Income Taxes. The current effective tax rates of 34.7% and 35.6%, respectively, for continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 varied from the statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to state income taxes, offset by an increase in the temporary credit to be applied against the Texas margin tax, the benefit of the domestic production deduction, and the utilization of capital losses previously not benefited. The prior year effective tax rates of 38.3% and 39.5%, respectively, for continuing operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006 were greater than the statutory rate of 35.0% due to state income taxes, tax credits, and other permanent differences.

     Railcar shipments increased 8.0% to approximately 7,070 and 8.9% to approximately 20,620 railcars during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006. As of September 30, 2007, our Rail Group backlog was approximately $2.6 billion consisting of approximately 31,300 railcars. Approximately 54% of the railcar backlog was dedicated to sales to external customers, which includes approximately 22% of the total backlog of railcars dedicated to TRIP Leasing. The remaining railcar backlog of approximately 46% was dedicated to the Leasing Group of which 100% have lease agreements for these railcars with external customers. The final amount dedicated to the Leasing Group may vary by the time of delivery. This compares with a backlog of approximately 32,200 railcars as of September 30, 2006. Approximately 45% of those railcars were dedicated to the Leasing Group of which 100% had lease agreements for those railcars with external customers. Sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 included $138.5 million in cars sold to TRIP Leasing, of which $5.3 million in profit was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about TRIP Leasing.
     Operating profit for the Rail Group increased $34.3 million and $84.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods last year. This increase was primarily due to increased pricing, product mix, and volume, as well as improved operating efficiencies.
     In the three months ended September 30, 2007 railcar shipments included sales to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group of $235.4 million compared to $168.1 million in the comparable period in 2006 with a deferred profit of $37.3 million compared to $19.6 million for the same period in 2006. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007 railcar shipments included sales to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group of $690.9 million compared to $435.6 million in the comparable period in 2006 with a deferred profit of $115.8 million compared to $50.3 million for the same period in 2006. Sales to the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group and related profits are included in the operating results of the Rail Group but are eliminated in consolidation.

     The increase in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in 2006 was primarily attributable to an increase in volume in our aggregates business and price increases in our concrete business offset by a decrease in volumes in our highway products and concrete businesses. Operating profit and operating profit margins for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased due to higher production costs in the highway products business. The decrease in operating profit and operating profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was due to higher production costs in the highway products business and lost production days in our concrete business due to inclement weather.

     Revenues increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods in the prior year due to an increase in the sales of hopper barges and a change in the mix of barges sold. Operating profit for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased compared to the same period last year due to increased revenues, a change in the mix of barges sold, and improved capacity utilization resulting in improved margins. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased compared to the same period last year due to increased revenues, a change in the mix of barges sold, and improved margins due to operating efficiencies, partially offset by a $15.0 million charge for the probable resolution of a barge litigation settlement. See Note 16 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2007, the backlog for the Inland Barge Group was approximately $771.5 million compared to approximately $424.2 million as of September 30, 2006.

     Total revenues increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same periods last year due to increased rental revenues related to additions to the leasing and management fleet, higher average rental rates on the remarketed fleet, and increased sales of cars from the lease fleet. Operating profit for leasing and management operations increased for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in sales from the fleet, rental proceeds from fleet additions, and higher average lease rates. Results for the three months ended September 30, 2007 included $93.8 million in sales of railcars to TRIP Leasing that resulted in a gain of $15.9 million, of which $3.2 million was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, included $187.5 in sales of railcars to TRIP Leasing that resulted in a gain of $30.3 million, of which $6.2 million was deferred based on our 20% equity interest. See Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about TRIP Leasing.
     We use a non-GAAP measure to compare performance between periods. This non-GAAP measure is EBITDAR, which is Operating Profit of the Leasing Group plus depreciation and rental or lease expense, excluding the impact of sales of cars from the lease fleet. We use this measure to eliminate the costs resulting from financings. EBITDAR should not be

     As of September 30, 2007, the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group’s rental fleet of approximately 35,890 owned or leased railcars had an average age of 4.3 years and an average remaining lease term of 5.5 years.

     The increase in revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 over the same periods last year was primarily attributable to an increase in intersegment sales by our transportation company. The increase in the operating profit for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was due to the increase in intersegment sales, income related to the market valuation of commodity hedges that are required to be marked to market, and a decrease in costs associated with non-operating facilities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
     Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $188.2 million compared to $48.3 million of net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the same period in 2006. This was primarily due to an increase in net income from continuing operations for the nine month period, a smaller increase in inventories, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The smaller increase in inventory compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was the result of large increases required in 2006 related to an increase in production volumes. There was no net cash required or provided by operating activities of discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $15.0 million of net cash provided by operating activities for discontinued operations for the same period in 2006.
     Investing Activities. Net cash required by investing activities of continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $486.2 million compared to $434.6 million for the same period last year. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $725.8 million, of which $585.6 million were for additions to the lease fleet. This compares to $483.4 million of capital expenditures for the same period last year, of which $390.3 million were for additions to the lease fleet. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and other assets were $286.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet and the sale of non-operating assets, compared to $51.1 million for the same period in 2006 composed primarily of railcar sales from the lease fleet and the sale of non-operating assets.
     Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $208.9 million compared to $520.5 million for the same period in 2006. We intend to use our cash to fund the operations, expansions, and growth initiatives of the Company.

     In June 2007, Trinity amended the $350 million revolving credit facility to increase the permitted leverage ratio, and add a senior leverage ratio, as well as other minor modifications. At September 30, 2007, there were no borrowings under our $350 million revolving credit facility. In October 2007, Trinity amended and restated its revolving credit agreement. This new agreement is a $425 million facility that matures October 19, 2012. Other minor changes were made to the agreement.
     In August 2007, Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) extended its $375 million non-recourse warehouse facility through 2009, amended certain terms of the existing facility, and increased the facility by $25 million to $400 million. This facility, established to finance railcars owned by TILC, had $337.0 million outstanding as of September 30, 2007. The warehouse facility is due August 2009 and unless renewed will be payable in three equal installments in February 2010, August 2010, and February 2011. Railcars financed by the warehouse facility have historically been refinanced under long-term financing agreements. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 78% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at a defined index rate plus a margin, for an all-in rate of 6.62% at September 30, 2007. At September 30, 2007, $63.0 million was available under this facility.
Equity Investment

Future Operating Requirements
     We expect to finance future operating requirements with cash flows from operations, and depending on market conditions, long-term and short-term debt and equity. Debt instruments that the Company has utilized include its revolving credit facility, the warehouse facility, senior notes, convertible subordinated notes, asset-backed securities, and sale/leaseback transactions. The Company has also issued equity at various times. The Company assesses the market conditions at the time of its financing needs and determines which of these instruments to utilize.
Derivative Instruments
     See Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about derivative instruments.
Contractual Obligation and Commercial Commitments
