                    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.

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
    year presentation.

    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 nine months ended September 30,
    1999 and 1998, Marmon Industrial absorbed a loss of $470 and a gain of
    $3,508, 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 $8,450 at September 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
- ---------------------
3rd Quarter 1999 versus 1998
- ----------------------------

Service revenues increased $11.8 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 $8.6 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 $3.1 million primarily due to the
acquisition of businesses in 1998.

Nine Months 1999 versus 1998
- ----------------------------

Service revenues increased $35.9 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 $57.8 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 $9.7 million primarily due to the
acquisition of businesses in 1998.


Financial Condition
- -------------------
1999 versus 1998
- ----------------

Operating activities provided $164.5 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, advance funds to parent, pay dividends to the
Company's stockholder, service borrowed debt obligations, and fund the
acquisition of businesses.

Management expects future cash to be provided from operating activities, long-
term financings and repayment 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 September 30, 1999, the Company has completed the necessary corrective
work on its accounting, invoicing, general business and fleet management systems
that would be affected by Year 2000 problems. The Company's testing of the
systems was successfully completed on October 1, 1999.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

The Company does not believe its main products (i.e., tank cars and other
railcars) have any material Year 2000 exposures.  Similarly, no significant
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 $5.5 million, which has been and will
continue to be funded from operating cash flow.  Through September 30, 1999, the
Company had spent approximately $5.2 million related to its Year 2000 program,
of which $4.8 million has been expensed and $0.4 million has been capitalized.
The remaining cost, estimated to be $0.3 million, is expected to be 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.
