The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared from the books and records of Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity" or
the "Company").  In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal and recurring adjustments necessary to a fair presentation of the
financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1999, the results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998
and cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, have been made.
Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the six
month period ended September 30, 1999 may not be indicative of expected results
of operations for the year ending March 31, 2000. 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 incorporated by reference in its Form 10-K for the
year ended March 31, 1999.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company purchased 666,000 shares
of common stock for the treasury at a cost of $21.5 million, pursuant to a stock
repurchase program to purchase up to 10% of the Company's outstanding common
stock. The Company expects to complete its original program in the third quarter
of fiscal 2000 and has determined that it may purchase additional shares from
time to time in the open market and in negotiated transactions. Any decision to
purchase additional shares will be based on market conditions and other relevant
factors. Purchases may be discontinued at any time.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)
                               September 30, 1999


                                  Contingencies

The Company is involved in various claims and lawsuits incidental to its
business. In the opinion of management, these claims and suits in the aggregate
will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.


                              Segments of Business

As of March 31, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information." Information for fiscal years 1998 and 1997 was restated from prior
years' presentation in the fiscal 1999 Annual Report in order to conform to
these requirements. As of September 1999, the presentation of segments was
subsequently changed to align the reportable segments with current internal
reporting and provide more detailed information to the users of the financial
statements. Information for fiscal 1999 has been restated from prior years'
presentation for comparison with fiscal 2000 results in this filing. Information
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and quarterly and annual information for
the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 has been restated to the
new reporting format, and is included as Exhibit 99.2 to provide additional
information to the users of the financial statements. The determination of
operating segments is based on the types of products and services provided by
the Company.

The new reporting format includes the following business segments: (1) the
Railcar Group, which manufactures and sells railcars; (2) the Inland Barge
Group, consisting of barges and related products for inland waterway services;
(3) the Parts & Services Group, which manufactures and sells various parts to
manufacturers of railcars and other industrial products and provides services
such as railcar maintenance, fleet management, and leasing; (4) the Highway
Construction Products Group, consisting primarily of highway guardrail and
safety products and girders, beams, and columns used in the construction of
highway and railway bridges; (5) the Concrete & Aggregate Group, composed of
ready-mix concrete and aggregate; and (6) the Industrial Group, which
manufactures and sells containers, weld fittings (tee, elbows, reducers, caps,
and flanges) used in pressure piping systems, and pressure and non-pressure
containers for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases and other
liquid and dry products. Finally, All Other includes transportation services,
the Company's captive insurance company, and other peripheral businesses.

     Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
     Results of Operations


                              Results of Operations

                 Six Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to
                       Six Months Ended September 30,1998

Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 decreased 2.5% to $1,393.4
million from $1,428.9 million due to a decline in revenues in the Industrial
Group caused mainly by the divestiture of Beaird Industries in June 1998, along
with decreased railcar shipments in the Railcar Group. Operating profit
increased 3.7% to $154.3 million compared to $148.8 million primarily due to
increased operating profits in the Railcar Group and Inland Barge Group.

Revenues for the Railcar Group decreased 2.2% to $761.5 million from $778.9
million while operating profit increased 10.1% to $83.7 million from $76
million. Lower revenue is due to decreased railcar shipments as a result of
softened demand. Increased operating profit is a result of cost reductions and
manufacturing efficiencies.

Revenues for the Inland Barge Group were $105.8 million compared to $107.7
million, while operating profit increased 80.3% to $13.7 million from $7.6
million. The improvement in operating profit is due mainly to a change in
product mix and cost reductions. The Company has increased production of liquid
cargo barges to meet market demand.

Outside revenues for the Parts & Services Group were $157.7 million compared to
$159.3 million, while operating profit decreased 2% to $43.1 million from $44
million. This decrease in revenues and operating profit is due to the sale of
three railcar repair plants and decreased sales of container heads due to the
"Asian Crisis", mostly offset by the acquisition of McConway & Torley, a leading
manufacturer of railcar parts.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 12.2% to $105.9
million from $94.4 million, while operating profit increased 14.8% to $21
million from $18.3 million. The government's long-term spending commitment has
led to increased spending for transportation infrastructure improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 9.7% to $129.2 million
from $117.8 million, while operating profit increased 4.1% to $15.3 million from
$14.7 million. These increases are due to a strong construction market and
continued acquisitions and expansions.

Industrial Group revenues decreased 18.8% to $106.4 million from $131.1 million
while operating profit decreased 20.2% to $7.9 million from $9.9 million. The
decline in revenue is primarily due to the sale of Beaird Industries, Inc. in
the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in profit was attributable to the
Beaird sale, increased price competition in the fittings and flange business as
a result of the "Asian Crisis", and the downturn in the energy sector which has
reduced spending and major maintenance in the petrochemical industry.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Operating profits were down in All Other primarily due to a reduction in
activity in certain non-core products.


                Three Months Ended September 30, 1999 Compared to
                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1998

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 remained flat, decreasing 2.4% to
$700 million from $717.4 million due to reduced car shipments in the Railcar
Group, along with a decline in revenues in the Industrial Group caused mainly by
continued price competition in the fittings & flange business. These decreases
were mostly offset by strong results in the Inland Barge, Highway Construction
Products, and Concrete & Aggregate Groups. Operating profit increased slightly
to $76.9 million compared to $74.7 million. Increased operating profits in the
Inland Barge, Highway Construction Products, and Concrete & Aggregate Groups, as
well as a slight increase in the Railcar Group, were partially offset by a
decrease in the Industrial and All Other Groups.

Revenues for the Railcar Group decreased 7.4% to $378.8 million from $409.1
million while operating profit increased 1.2% to $42.2 million from $41.7
million. Lower revenues are a result of softened demand in this segment. Margin
improvement reflects continued progress on improving operating efficiencies.

Revenues for the Inland Barge Group increased 23% to $55 million from $44.7
million. Operating profit increased 204% to $7.6 million from $2.5 million. The
improvement in operating profit is due mainly to a change in product mix,
increased operating efficiency, and lower material costs.

Outside revenues for the Parts & Services Group were $75.4 million compared to
$78.0 million, while operating profit decreased 8.6% to $19.2 million from $21
million. This decrease in revenues and operating profit is due to the sale of
three railcar repair plants and decreased sales of container heads due to the
"Asian Crisis", mostly offset by the acquisition of McConway & Torley.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 13.4% to $57.6
million from $50.8 million, while operating profit increased 17% to $11.7
million from $10 million due to increasing government spending on transportation
improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 9.2% to $64.2 million from
$58.8 million, while operating profit increased 4.1% to $7.6 million from $7.3
million. These increases are mainly due to increased construction spending.

Industrial Group revenues decreased 8.1% to $54.6 million from $59.4 million
while operating profit decreased 11.1% to $4 million from $4.5 million. The
decrease in revenues and operating profit is primarily due to industry
conditions in the fittings & flange business. This decrease is partially offset
by improved results in LPG operations.

                          Liquidity & Capital Resources

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased $5.7 million from $13.5
million at March 31, 1999 to $7.8 million at September 30, 1999. Net cash
provided by operating activities increased to $132.1 million during the first
six months of fiscal 2000 from $17.1 million in the first six months of fiscal
1999. Capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 2000 were
approximately $72.4 million of which approximately $21.8 million was for
additions to the railcar lease fleet. This compares to $95.3 million of capital
expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 1999 of which $57 million was for
additions to the lease fleet. Expenditures for business acquisitions were $2.4
million. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and other
assets were $22.4 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000 compared to
$106.7 million in fiscal 1999. First and second quarter fiscal 1999 results
include a $22.1 million gain, primarily from the sale of real estate and other
assets.

In the first six months of fiscal 2000, the Company repurchased common stock for
$58.0 million. The Company believes cash provided from operations and cash
available under uncommitted bank lines of credit will be sufficient to meet its
requirements for the next year.


                                 Year 2000 Issue

Trinity Industries is continuing to address what is commonly referred to as the
Year 2000 problem. The Company is on schedule managing the compliance of IT
systems, machinery and equipment, and third-party relationships using a
six-phase approach. The Company has completed Identification, Assessment, Vendor
Certification, and Remediation of all critical internal systems. While testing
of key systems is substantially complete, the Company will use the remainder of
the year to continue testing internal as well as externally-linked applications
which includes new acquisitions and new business technology implementations. The
Company has surveyed each business unit and assessed potential risks that would
impact production. Contingency plans are being developed as deemed appropriate
to deal with the impact of potential risks.

The Company has surveyed and assessed third parties with which it has
significant relationships. While contingency plans will be in place to deal with
potential interruptions, third-party matters are outside the Company's control
and there can be no assurance that an occurrence or event will not ensue which
could materially impact operations. It is expected that the occurrence of an
interruption would be of short-term duration and would not have a material
effect on the Company's long-term results of operations, liquidity, and
financial condition.

To date, the Company has spent approximately $8.3 million on compliance efforts.
An additional $0.6 million is expected to be spent during the remainder of
fiscal 2000. These costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company's overall financial position.


                                       12

At this time, the Company believes all significant areas have been addressed,
additional testing and contingency planning to reduce exposure is on schedule,
and that the Company is positioned to handle Year 2000 issues.

                              Basis of Presentation

In September 1999, the presentation of segments was changed to align the
reportable segments with the Company's internal reporting and provide more
detailed information to the users of the financial statements. Segment
information for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 and quarterly and annual
information for the fiscal years ended March 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997 has been
restated to the new reporting format and is included in the following pages.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for the three years ended March 31, 1999 and the fiscal 2000 and
fiscal 1999 quarters are included for additional analysis.

The new reporting format includes the following business segments: (1) the
Railcar Group which manufactures and sells railcars; (2) the Inland Barge Group,
consisting of barges and related products for inland water-way services; (3) the
Parts & Services Group, which manufactures and sells various parts to
manufacturers of railcars and other industrial products and provides services
such as railcar maintenance, fleet management, and leasing; (4) the Highway
Construction Products Group, consisting primarily of highway guardrail and
safety products and girders, beams, and columns used in the construction of
highway and railway bridges; (5) the Concrete & Aggregate Group, composed of
ready-mix concrete and aggregate; and (6) the Industrial Group, which
manufactures and sells containers, weld fittings (tees, elbows, reducers, caps,
and flanges) used in pressure piping systems, and pressure and non-pressure
containers for the storage and transportation of liquefied gases and other
liquid and dry products.

                            Trinity Industries, Inc.
                Restated Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Financial Condition and Results of Operations


                      Year Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to
                            Year Ended March 31, 1998

Revenues were $2.93 billion in fiscal 1999 compared to $2.47 billion in fiscal
1998, an 18.6% increase. Operating profit was $284.9 million in fiscal 1999
compared to $255.9 million in fiscal 1998, an 11.3% increase. Increased revenues
and operating profit were primarily attributable to the Railcar Group and Parts
& Services Group. Selling, engineering and administrative expenses declined as a
percentage of revenue to 5.8% from 6.6%. This decline is primarily a result of
reduced legal costs and pension expense, partially offset by increases in
technology and personnel costs to support the Company's growth.

Other income/expense changed from $90 million expense in fiscal 1998 to $11.5
million income in fiscal 1999. In fiscal 1998, other expense included a
litigation settlement of $70 million, while in fiscal 1999 other income includes
a net gain on the sale of real estate and other assets in the first quarter of
$22.1 million.

Net income in fiscal 1999 increased 78.7% to $185.3 million, or $4.25 per
diluted share as compared to $103.7 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, in
fiscal 1998. Excluding the net gain and litigation settlement mentioned above,
earnings per share increased $0.57 per diluted share or 17% from fiscal 1998.

Revenues increased in the Railcar Group $598.3 million, or 54.6%, in fiscal 1999
due to high demand and the ongoing replacement cycle for railcars, which also
contributed to strong railcar backlogs. Trinity is a manufacturer of a broad
product line serving various industries which provides more opportunity for
stability during fluctuations in demand for specific car types.

Railcar Group operating profit increased by $59 million in the current fiscal
year to $172.9 million from $113.9 million in fiscal 1998. This 51.8% increase
is primarily a result of the increased volume in fiscal 1999. As a percentage of
revenues, operating profit declined primarily due to the product mix of railcar
sales.

Revenues decreased in the Inland Barge Group $138.8 million, from $335.2 million
in fiscal 1998, to $196.4 million in fiscal 1999. Operating profit decreased by
$18.1 million, from $31.5 million in fiscal 1998, to $13.4 million in fiscal
1999. The decline in barge demand was primarily driven by reduced grain export
shipments and other factors which led to lower rates paid to river freight
carriers.

The volume of barge orders increased in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal
1999. The Company believes this signals a recovery in the barge business and
improved profitability in fiscal 2000. In the barge


                                       5

industry, the fleet replacement cycle and fleet age are important factors, and
since nearly 40% of the nation's barges are more than 20 years old, the
long-term outlook for barges continues to remain positive.

Outside revenues increased $60.4 million in the Parts & Services Group, from
$282.1 million in fiscal 1998, to $342.5 million in fiscal 1999. Operating
profit increased by $9.4 million in fiscal 1999 to $87.2 million from $77.8
million in fiscal 1998. Increased revenues and operating profit are due to
increased demand in the railcar industry and the acquisition of McConway and
Torley, a leading railcar parts manufacturer.

Revenues in the Highway Construction Products Group increased $8.4 million,
while operating profit increased $0.9 million. Increased revenues and operating
profit are primarily due to increased demand early in the year which decreased
in the second half of the year. The Company believes delays by state government
agencies in job lettings under the new federal highway spending legislation
affected demand. Federal funding for highway construction and improvements is
forecasted to increase up to 40% annually for approximately four and one-half
years from the beginning of fiscal 2000. Trinity is strategically positioned to
serve the states that will receive the most funding under the recently enacted
legislation.

Revenues increased by $40.2 million, or 20.2% in the Concrete & Aggregate Group,
from $198.7 million in fiscal 1998 to $238.9 million in fiscal 1999. Operating
profit increased by $4.5 million, or 21.3%. Better weather conditions in fiscal
1999, internal expansion, and acquisitions contributed to growth in concrete and
aggregate revenues. The demand in residential, commercial, and municipal
construction in the markets served by the Company's ready-mix concrete and
aggregate businesses points to continued growth in this business.

Revenues in the Industrial Group decreased from $316.2 million in fiscal 1998 to
$229.4 million in fiscal 1999, while operating profit decreased from $33.3
million to $8.5 million. The decline in revenues is primarily due to the sale of
Beaird Industries, Inc. in the quarter ended June 30, 1998, as well as softness
in fittings and flange products and LPG products. The decline in operating
profit was attributable to the Beaird sale, continued price competition in the
fittings and flange business, primarily due to a weak energy sector and
increased imports as a result of the "Asian Crisis", and the mild winter and
fall which impacted demand and competition for LPG products.

Revenues in All Other decreased from $91.5 million in fiscal 1998 to $63.7
million in fiscal 1999, while operating profit increased 17.2% from $8.7 million
to $10.2 million in fiscal 1999. The decrease in revenues reflects slightly
weaker activity in some small, peripheral businesses.


                      Year Ended March 31, 1998 Compared to
                            Year Ended March 31, 1997

Record operating profits of $255.9 million were recorded for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1998, an increase of $41.7 million, or 19.5%,


                                       6

compared to fiscal 1997. This increase was due primarily to higher operating
profit recorded in the Railcar Group, Inland Barge Group, Parts & Services
Group, and Concrete & Aggregate Group. Revenues recorded for fiscal 1998 were
$2.47 billion, an increase of $0.24 billion, or 10.8% from the previous fiscal
year.

Selling, engineering and administrative expenses increased to $163.1 million in
fiscal 1998 from $142.5 million in fiscal 1997, but as a percentage of revenue
increased only slightly as the Company continues to invest in people and systems
to fuel additional growth. Other, net expense decreased to $0.9 million in
fiscal 1998 from $12.0 million in the previous fiscal year primarily due to the
recording in fiscal 1997 of certain nonrecurring charges, principally for
valuation of production facilities determined to be in excess of that required
for future business operations.

Revenues for the Railcar Group increased $11.9 million in fiscal 1998 due to
high demand and the ongoing replacement cycle for railcars, which also
contributed to strong current railcar backlogs. Railcar Group operating profit
increased by $12.8 million in the fiscal 1998 to $113.9 million from $101.1
million in fiscal 1997. Improved production methods, cost reductions, and volume
increases resulted in improved margins.

The Inland Barge Group recorded revenues for fiscal 1998 of $335.2 million, an
$83.4 million, or 33.1% increase over fiscal 1997. Operating profit was $31.5
million, a $11.9 million, or 60.7% increase over fiscal 1997 The inland river
hopper barge market was very strong in the first part of fiscal 1998 due to the
replacement cycle for barges, but order levels softened in the last two quarters
due to decreasing grain prices and other factors which affected rates paid to
river freight carriers.

Outside revenues increased $41.5 million in the Parts & Services Group, from
$240.6 million in fiscal 1997, to $282.1 million in fiscal 1998. Operating
profit increased by $8.8 million in fiscal 1998 to $77.8 million from $69
million in fiscal 1997. Increased revenues and operating profit are due to
increased demand in the railcar industry.

The Highway Construction Products Group recorded revenues for fiscal 1998 of
$153.6 million, which is a $12.4 million, or 8.8% increase compared to fiscal
1997. Operating profits were $25.8 million, which is a $0.8 million decrease
compared to fiscal 1997. Increased revenues are due to market acceptance of new
highway guardrail products. Decreased operating profit margins are due to
increased competition in certain proprietary products.

The Concrete & Aggregate Group recorded revenues of $198.7 million, which is a
$19.2, or 10.7% increase over fiscal 1997. Operating profit was $21.1 million,
which is a $7.9 million, or 59.8% increase over 1997. The increase in revenues
resulted from better weather conditions than in the prior year and the Company's
emphasis on expanding its ready-mix concrete and aggregate business. Operating
profit increased due to expansion and increases in both production and
efficiency.


                                       7

<PAGE>   8

The Industrial Group benefited primarily from the general improvement in the
economy in fiscal 1998. Revenues were $316.2 million, which is a $48.5 million,
or 18.1% increase over fiscal 1997. Operating profit was $33.3 million, or a
12.1% increase over fiscal 1997. Emphasis on protecting the environment in the
chemical and petroleum industries, and continued strength in new housing starts
contributed to fiscal 1998 results.

Revenues and operating profit in All Other increased due to increased sales of
certain non-core products.


                                   Market Risk

The Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the
impact those changes have on the Company's variable-rate debt obligations, which
represented approximately 70% of its total debt as of March 31, 1999. If
interest rates average one percent more in fiscal 2000 than they did during
1999, the Company's interest expense would increase by $2.0 million.


                        Liquidity and Financial Resources

The Company's cash and equivalents increased $10.4 million from $3.1 million at
March 31, 1998 to $13.5 million at March 31, 1999. Net cash provided by
operating activities increased to $176.4 million during fiscal 1999 from $120.9
million in fiscal 1998. Capital expenditures during fiscal 1999 were $208.3
million of which $116.5 million was for additions to the lease fleet. This
compares to $129.4 million of capital expenditures in fiscal 1998 of which $79.5
million was for additions to the lease fleet. Expenditures for acquisitions were
$82.8 million compared to $60.2 million in the prior year. Proceeds from the
sale of property, plant and equipment and other assets were $178.7 million in
fiscal 1999 composed primarily of the sale of cars from the lease fleet and a
portion of the Company's investment real estate, compared to $81.4 million in
fiscal 1998. The Company repurchased 2.4 million shares of its common stock for
$79.5 million in fiscal 1999. Future operating requirements are expected to be
financed principally with net cash flows from operations.


Internally generated funds, short-term and long-term debt will continue to be
used to finance business acquisitions. Additions to Trinity's assets under lease
are anticipated to be financed through internally generated funds, the issuance
of equipment trust certificates, or similar debt instruments.

                                    Year 2000

The advent of the year 2000 has become an issue due to dates being programmed
into hardware, software and embedded chips with only two digits to identify a
year, interpreting "00" to be the year 1900, instead of 2000. This
misinterpretation could cause systems and equipment to produce


                                       8

<PAGE>   9

errors, or fail to function after December 31, 1999. Some errors may occur even
earlier due to forward processing of orders or purchases.

Information technology (IT) systems are used throughout the Company to manage
key production and financial processes, and embedded chip technology is used in
some of the Company's machinery and equipment.


Efforts to identify and correct Year 2000 issues began in 1996. The Company has
a Year 2000 Project Management Office that is taking those actions it believes
reasonable so that Year 2000 issues do not materially impact the Company's
operations. In addition, an outside consulting firm has been retained to advise
the Company on general Year 2000 issues, supplier assessment, and testing of
Mission Critical IT systems.

The Company's plan to manage compliance of IT systems, non-IT items and
third-party relationships consists of six phases:

         Identification:            Inventory of items that may be affected by
                                    Year 2000 issues, including hardware,
                                    software, Trinity products, machinery and
                                    equipment with embedded technology, and
                                    third-party relationships.

         Assessment:                Evaluation of inventoried items to establish
                                    risk potential, and determination of
                                    corrective steps to be taken.

         Certification:             Collection of data from third-party
                                    suppliers certifying compliance of products
                                    and services.

         Remediation:               Process of upgrading or replacement of
                                    non-compliant systems.

         Testing:                   Application and embedded technology testing
                                    involving standardized methodology.

         Contingency Planning:      Continuity assessment and planning to
                                    minimize potential impacts from business
                                    failures arising from Year 2000 issues.

To date, the Company has spent approximately $3.6 million on compliance efforts.
An additional $3.3 million is expected to be spent by the Year 2000. The Company
anticipates that costs to address the Year 2000 issue represents approximately
13 percent of the total IT budget for fiscal years 1998, 1999, and 2000.

While the Company has no way to provide assurance that third-party systems will
be Year 2000 compliant on a timely basis, the Company is surveying and assessing
third-parties with whom it has a significant relationship. Approximately 5,000
suppliers have been surveyed and assessed for Year 2000 compliance. Contingency
plans are being developed for suppliers and vendors believed to be at risk. The
Company is also working with key customers on exchanging Year 2000 status
information.

As a manufacturing company, potential worst-case scenarios facing Trinity would
be: an interruption of utility services that would impact production; an
interruption of transport services by one of the key railroads that would impact
the Company's ability to deliver finished product to its customer, receive
certain materials and affect demand; or the ability of key suppliers to deliver
raw materials or services due to their noncompliance. Contingency plans are
being developed as deemed appropriate to deal with the impact of these matters.
However, there is no guarantee that all non-compliant systems of third parties
will be identified and remediated in time, making the number of hours or days of
possible interruption an uncertainty. It is expected that the occurrence of any
one, or all of the above worst-case scenarios would be of short-term duration
and would not have a material effect on the Company's long-term results of
operations, liquidity, and financial condition. However, many of these events
are outside of the Company's control and there can be no assurance that an
occurrence or event will not happen which could materially impact operations.

At this time, the Company believes all significant areas have been identified,
remediation is on schedule, and contingency plans to deal with Year 2000 issues
will be in place.

                                    Inflation

Changes in price levels did not significantly affect the Company's operations in
fiscal 1999, 1998 or 1997.

                Restated Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                              Results of Operations


                  Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to
                        Three Months Ended June 30, 1998

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased 2.5% to $693.4 million
from $711.5 million due to a decline in revenues in the Industrial Group caused
mainly by the divestiture of Beaird Industries in June 1998, and a decline in
the Inland Barge Group. Operating profits increased 4.5% to $77.4 million
compared to $74.1 million. Increased operating profits in the Railcar Group were
partially offset by a decline in the Industrial Group.

Revenues for the Railcar Group increased 3.5% to $382.7 million from $369.8
million while operating profit increased 21.0% to $41.5 million from $34.3
million. Margin improvement reflects the continued progress on improving
operating efficiencies. The ongoing replacement cycle for railcars and continued
expansion in both Latin America and Europe provide long-term potential for
growth and performance from this segment.

The Inland Barge Group recorded declines in barge revenues of 19.4% to $50.8
million while operating profit increased 19.6% to $6.1 million. The reduction in
revenue is a result of lower volume. The increase in operating profit is due to
product mix and cost reductions achieved during the last year. In the barge
industry, the fleet replacement cycle and fleet age are important factors and,
with nearly one third of the nation's barges more than 20 years old, the
long-term outlook for barges continues to be positive.

Overall operating results in the Parts & Services Group remained steady as
outside revenues increased slightly from $81.3 million to $82.3 million and
operating profit increased slightly from $23.0 million to $23.9 million.
Increases in revenues from the acquisition of McConway & Torley, a railcar parts
manufacturer, are offset by the downturn in the energy sector which has
curtailed spending and major maintenance in the petrochemical industry and the
sale of certain railcar repair facilities.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 10.8% to $48.3
million from $43.6 million while operating profit increased 12.0% to $9.3
million from $8.3 million. The higher overall operating results are primarily
due to increased activity in the highway bridge business. The Company believes
that the government's long-term spending commitment and highway funding
legislation will lead to increased spending for transportation infrastructure
improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 10.2% to $65.0 million
while operating profit increased 4.1% to $7.7 million. The increase in operating
results is primarily due to acquisitions.


                                       11

<PAGE>   12

The Industrial Group revenues declined 27.8% to $51.8 million from $71.7 million
while operating profit declined 27.8% to $3.9 million from $5.4 million. The
decline in revenue is primarily due to the sale of Beaird Industries, Inc. in
the quarter ended June 30, 1998. The decline in profit was attributable to the
Beaird sale and increased price competition in the fittings and flange business
as a result of the "Asian Crisis".

Operating profits were down in All Other primarily due to a reduction in
activity in certain non-core products.

                        Three Months Ended March 31, 1998


Revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 9.1% to $775.1 million
from $710.2 million due primarily to increased volume in the Railcar Group,
Parts & Services Group, and Concrete & Aggregate Group, partially offset by
declines in the Industrial Group and Inland Barge Group. Operating profits
increased 1.1% to $66.4 million compared to $65.7 million. Increased operating
profit in the Railcar Group was offset by a decline in the Industrial Group.

Revenues for the Railcar Group increased 26.4% to $488.2 million from $386.1
million while operating profit increased 26.6% to $50.9 million from $40.2
million. The factors driving these increases are the ongoing replacement cycle
for railcars, advancements made in new car types, and increases in rail traffic
for certain car types.

Inland Barge Group revenues declined from $72.7 million to $46.5 million while
operating profit increased from $0.8 million to $3.6 million. Fourth quarter
fiscal 1998 results are affected by a before tax $5.0 million settlement paid to
a customer due to a contract dispute. The decline in barge demand has primarily
been driven by reduced grain shipments and other factors which have led to lower
rates paid to river freight carriers. The volume of barge orders received
increased in the third quarter which the Company believes signals a recovery in
the barge business and improved profitability early in fiscal 2000.

Outside revenues for the Parts & Services Group increased 15.0% to $90.5 million
from $78.7 million but operating profit decreased to $21.9 million from $23.8
million. The increase in revenues is due primarily to the acquisition of the
railcar parts manufacturer McConway & Torley. The increase is partially offset
by the downturn in the energy sector which has curtailed spending and major
maintenance in the petrochemical industry and the sale of certain railcar repair
facilities in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The decline in operating profit
from the businesses affected by the downturn in the energy sector and the lost
operating profit from the sale of certain railcar repair facilities has offset
the added operating profit from the McConway & Torley acquisition.

<PAGE>   13

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 9.9% to $30.0
million from $27.3 million and operating profit increased slightly to $2.9
million from $2.8 million. These operating results are indicative of the
seasonalty of highway guardrail and safety end-treatment business. Most of the
improvement in results is due to increased activity in the highway bridge
business. The Company believes that the government's long-term spending
commitment and highway funding legislation will lead to increased spending for
transportation infrastructure improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 40.5% to $63.5 million
from $45.2 million while operating profit increased 13.5% to $5.9 million from
$5.2 million. This increase is due mainly to the increasing residential,
commercial, industrial and municipal construction as well as better weather
conditions during the current quarter compared to the same period in the prior
year.

Industrial Group revenues declined to $45.9 million from $76.7 million, while
operating profit declined to a loss of $3.3 million from a profit of $7.2
million. The decline in revenues and operating profit is primarily due to the
sale of Beaird Industries, Inc. at June 30, 1998, increased price competition in
the fittings and flange business, partly as a result of the "Asian Crisis,"and
the mild weather in the current quarter which impacted demand and competition
for the Company's LPG products.

The decline in revenues and operating profit in All Other is due primarily to
the sale of the Company's passenger loading bridges and baggage handling systems
business during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.


                Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to
                      Three Months Ended December 31, 1997

Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 13% to $722.9 million
from $642.4 million due primarily to increased volume in the Railcar Group,
Parts & Services Group, and Concrete & Aggregate Group, partially offset by
declines in the Industrial Group and Inland Barge Group. Operating profits
increased 1.5% to $69.7 million compared to $68.7 million. Increased operating
profit in the Railcar Group and Concrete & Aggregate Group was offset by a
decline in the Inland Barge and Industrial Groups.

Revenues for the Railcar Group increased 45.4% to $426.9 million from $293.6
million while operating profit increased 49.8% to $46.0 million from $30.7
million. The factors driving these increases are the ongoing replacement cycle
for railcars, advancements made in new car types, and increases in rail traffic
for certain car types.

Inland Barge Group revenues declined from $83.6 million to $42.2 million and
operating profit declined from $9.2 million to $2.2 million. The decline in
barge demand has primarily been driven by reduced grain shipments and other
factors which have led to lower rates paid to river freight carriers. The volume
of barge orders received increased in the

third quarter which the Company believes signals a recovery in the barge
business and improved profitability early in fiscal 2000.

Outside revenues for the Parts & Services Group increased 37.7% to $92.7 million
from $67.3 million while operating profit increased 9.2% to $21.3 million from
$19.5 million. This increase is primarily driven by the acquisition of McConway
& Torley and strong demand in other railcar parts and services businesses.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group decreased to $37.6 million
from $39.7 million and operating profit decreased to $5.5 million from $6.3
million. Operating results were lower due to reduced activity by state
governments in letting contracts. The Company believes this is a short term
situation and that the government's long-term spending commitment and the recent
passage of new highway legislation will lead to increased spending for
transportation infrastructure improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 20.3% to $57.6 million
from $47.9 million while operating profit increased 78.6% to $5.0 million from
$2.8 million. This increase is due mainly to continuing strong demand and better
weather conditions during the current quarter compared to the same period in the
prior year in the markets served by the Company's ready-mix concrete and
aggregate businesses.

Industrial Group revenues declined to $52.4 million from $82.8 million, while
operating profit declined to $1.9 million from $9.1 million. The decline in
revenues is primarily due to the sale of Beaird Industries, Inc. at June 30,
1998. The decline in profit was attributable to the Beaird sale, increased price
competition in the fittings and flange business, partly as a result of the
"Asian Crisis,"and the mild weather in the current quarter which impacted demand
and competition for the Company's LPG products.

The decline in revenues and operating profit in All Other is due primarily to
the sale of the Company's passenger loading bridges and baggage handling systems
business in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998.

                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1997

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 28.0% to $717.4 million
from $560.3 million. Operating profits increased 18.2% to $74.7 million compared
to $63.2 million. These operating results are due primarily to increased volume
in the Railcar Group and Parts & Services Group, offset by declines in the
Inland Barge Group and Industrial Group.

Revenues for the Railcar Group increased 96.9% to $409.1 million from $207.8
million while operating profit increased 92.2% to $41.7 million from $21.7
million. The factors driving these increases are the ongoing

replacement cycle for railcars, advancements made in new car types, and
increases in rail traffic for certain car types.

Inland Barge Group revenues declined from $76.6 million to $44.7 million and
operating profit declined from $8.9 million to $2.5 million. The Company's barge
business has seen a decline in overall demand as a result of a reduction in the
transports of grain and other economic forces. However, the fleet replacement
cycle and fleet age are important factors and, with nearly one third of the
nation's barges more than 20 years old, the long-term outlook for barges
continues to be positive.

Outside revenues for the Parts & Services Group increased 15.5% to $78.0 million
from $67.5 million while operating profit increased 20.7% to $21.0 million from
$17.4 million. This increase is primarily driven by strong demand in the railcar
parts and services businesses.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 8.8% to $50.8
million from $46.7 million and operating profit increased 8.7% to $10.0 million
from $9.2 million. This increase is due to the continuance of governmental
spending on the nation's transportation infrastructure, which utilizes the
Company's highway guardrail and safety systems products. The Company believes
that the government's long-term spending commitment and the recent passage of
new highway legislation will lead to increased spending for transportation
infrastructure improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 7.1% to $58.8 million from
$54.9 million while operating profit increased 7.4% to $7.3 million from $6.8
million. This increase is due mainly to strong demand in the ready-mix concrete
and aggregate markets served by the Company. Additionally, this segment
experienced improvements due to better weather conditions in the current period
compared to the same period in the previous year.

Industrial Group revenues declined to $59.4 million from $85.2 million, while
operating profit declined to $4.5 million from $9.6 million. The decline in
revenues is primarily due to the sale of Beaird Industries, Inc. at June 30,
1998. The decline in profit was attributable to the Beaird sale, increased price
competition in the fittings and flange business, partly as a result of the
"Asian Crisis,"and the mild weather in the current quarter which impacted demand
and competition for the Company's LPG products.

The decline in revenues in All Other is due primarily to the sale of the
Company's passenger loading bridges and baggage handling systems business in
January, 1998.

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 increased 27.0% to $711.5 million
from $560.1 million due primarily to increased volume in the Railcar Group,
partially offset by a decline in Inland Barge Group

revenues. Operating profits increased 27.1% to $74.1 million compared to $58.3
million. Increased operating profit in the Railcar Group and Parts & Services
Group was offset by a decline in the Inland Barge Group.

Revenues for the Railcar Group increased 77.6% to $369.8 million from $208.2
million while operating profit increased 61.0% to $34.3 million from $21.3
million. The primary factor behind the increases continues to be high demand for
railcars which began in fiscal 1998 and the ongoing replacement cycle for
railcars. Orders on hand at quarter end were at a record level.

Inland Barge Group revenues declined from $102.3 million to $63.0 million and
operating profit declined from $12.6 million to $5.1 million. The Company's
barge business has seen a decline in overall demand as a result of a reduction
in the transports of grain and other economic forces. The overall age of the
barge fleet and the resulting replacement cycle should serve to drive demand for
this business in the future.

Outside revenues for the Parts & Services Group increased 18.5% to $81.3 million
from $68.6 million while operating profit increased 34.5% to $23.0 million from
$17.1 million. This increase is primarily driven by strong demand in the railcar
parts and services businesses.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased 9.3% to $43.6
million from $39.9 million and operating profit increased 10.7% to $8.3 million
from $7.5 million. This increase in results is due to the continuance of
governmental spending on the nation's transportation infrastructure, which
utilizes the Company's highway guardrail and safety systems products. Increased
revenues are also attributable to the acquisition of assets of Buffalo Specialty
Products, Inc. in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company believes that
the government's long-term spending commitment and the recent passage of new
highway legislation will lead to increased spending for transportation
infrastructure improvements.

Revenues for the Concrete & Aggregate Group increased 16.4% to $59.0 million
from $50.7 million while operating profit increased 17.5% to $7.4 million from
$6.3 million. This increase is due mainly to the increasing residential,
commercial, industrial and municipal construction in the ready-mix concrete and
aggregate markets served by the Company. Additionally, this segment experienced
improvements due to better weather conditions in the current period compared to
the same period in the previous year. The strong backlog of construction
projects position this segment for continued growth and improvement.

Industrial Group revenues increased slightly to 71.7 million from $71.5 million,
while operating profit declined to $5.4 million from $7.4 million. The decline
in profit was attributable to increased price competition in the fittings and
flange business, partly as a result of the "Asian Crisis,"and the mild weather
in the current quarter which impacted demand and competition for the Company's
LPG products.
