                    UNION TANK CAR COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (Dollars in Thousands)
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   UNION TANK CAR COMPANY (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     Marmon Industrial LLC ("Marmon Industrial"). Marmon Industrial is a wholly-
     owned subsidiary of Marmon Holdings, Inc. ("Marmon Holdings"),
     substantially all of the stock of which 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.   The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
     include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which
     the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. These interim
     financial statements do not include all disclosures normally provided in
     annual financial statements. Accordingly, they should be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in
     the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     The 1999 interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
     the results of operations for the full year 1999.

3.   As more fully described in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
     under an arrangement with Marmon Industrial, the Company is included in the
     consolidated federal income tax return of Marmon 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 group.

4.   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 in resolution of these matters 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.

5.   Foreign currency translation adjustments and transaction gains and losses
     are assumed by the Company's parent. For the six months ended June 30, 1999
     and 1998, Marmon Industrial absorbed gains of $187 and $800, respectively.

6.   The Company's foreign subsidiaries periodically 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 $3,400 at June 30, 1999 and $3,365 at December 31, 1998.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
2nd Quarter 1999 versus 1998
- ----------------------------
Service revenues increased $12.9 million primarily due to the effects of
railcars added to the lease fleet and the acquisition in the fourth quarter of
1998 of a company which provides contract switching services.

Sales revenues increased $29.4 million primarily due to increased sales of
railcars and sales of mobile railcar moving vehicles by a company which was
acquired in the fourth quarter of 1998.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to acquisition of
businesses in 1998.

Six Months 1999 versus 1998
- ---------------------------
Service revenues increased $24.0 million primarily due to the effects of
railcars added to the lease fleet and the acquisition in the fourth quarter of
1998 of a company which provides contract switching services.

Sales revenues increased $49.2 million primarily due to increased sales of
railcars and sales of mobile railcar moving vehicles by a company which was
acquired in the fourth quarter of 1998.

Other income decreased $4.5 million primarily due to the 1998 sale of certain
rights retained as a condition of the May 1996 sale of a storage facility used
in the liquefied petroleum gas storage operations.

General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to acquisition of
businesses in 1998.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
1999 versus 1998
- ----------------
Operating activities provided $103.5 million of cash. These funds, along with
the proceeds from the issuance of debt and sale-leaseback transactions were used
to provide for railcar additions, acquisition of businesses, service borrowed
debt obligations, and pay dividends to the Company's stockholder.

Management expects future cash to be provided from operating activities, long-
term financings and collection of funds previously advanced to parent will be
adequate to provide for continued expansion of the Company's business and enable
it to meet its debt service obligations.

Year 2000
- ---------
Because of the potential importance to the Company of Year 2000 questions, the
Company has established a Year 2000 program to determine the Company's state of
readiness and the costs it anticipates it will have to incur in light of any
possible problems and to remediate any problems discovered. The Company's Year
2000 assessment indicated that the Company's accounting, invoicing, general
business and fleet management systems would be affected by Year 2000 problems.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company has completed the necessary corrective work on
its coding, invoicing, general business and fleet management systems that would
be affected by Year 2000 problems. The Company's timetable calls for testing of
the systems to be done by September 1, 1999.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

The Company does not believe its main products (i.e., tank cars and other rail
cars) have any material Year 2000 exposures. Similarly, no material problems
have been identified in connection with the Company's production machinery and
equipment.

The Company is using both in-house resources and outside consultants to
implement the necessary changes required by its Year 2000 program. The total
cost of the program is estimated to be $5.4 million, which will be funded from
operating cash flow. Through June 30, 1999, the Company has spent approximately
$4.1 million related to its Year 2000 program, of which $3.8 million has been
expensed and $0.3 million has been capitalized. Of the remaining amount,
approximately $0.5 million is expected to be capitalized with the balance being
expensed.

For further discussion of the Company's Year 2000 program and risks related
thereto, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
