                                     General

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 management, all adjustments, consisting only
of normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2000, the results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
and cash flows for the six month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, have been made.
Because of seasonal and other factors, the results of operations for the three
and six month periods ended September 30, 2000 may not be indicative of expected
results of operations for the year ending March 31, 2001. 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
March 31, 2000.

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


                              Results of Operations

                 Six Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to
                       Six Months Ended September 30, 1999

Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $1,084.4 million compared
to $1,393.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The decrease is
primarily due to reduced railcar shipments and related declines in railcar parts
and services sales. Excluding the 2nd quarter charges described earlier,
operating profit was $71.5 million compared to $154.3 million for the same
period last year.

Railcar Group operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges, was $30.9
million compared to $83.7 million for the same period last year. Revenues and
operating profit declined due to the current downturn in the railcar



                                       10
<PAGE>   11

industry which resulted in reduced shipments of new cars by the Company for the
North American market by 37% over the same period last year and reduced sales
prices. Operating profit margins were further impacted by changeover of
production lines to different car types and start up costs associated with new
products. Included in revenues for the second quarter were sales of railcars
from the Company's lease fleet of approximately $47.5 million, which resulted in
operating profits of approximately $8.5 million.

In the Inland Barge Group, operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges,
was $12.8 million compared to $13.7 million for the same period last year. The
declines in revenues and operating profit in comparison to the prior year are
predominately the result of reduced sales prices, primarily on hopper barges,
due to competitive markets.

Operating profit in the Parts & Services Group, excluding the 2nd quarter
charges, was $16.5 million compared to $43.1 million for the same period last
year. This decrease in revenues and operating profit is primarily due to the
softness in the railcar market and start-up costs related to non-railcar parts.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased due to a strong
construction market. Operating profit margins were impacted by an increased
proportion of revenues coming from bridge sales, which have lower margins.

Decreased operating profit in the Concrete & Aggregates Group was primarily due
to competitive pricing in certain markets.

In the Industrial Group, operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges,
decreased to $5.8 million from $7.9 million. Reduced revenues and operating
profit is primarily a result of competitive pricing pressure and the impact of
exiting the flange and valve business.

In the six months ended September 30, 2000, selling, engineering and
administrative expenses excluding second quarter charges, increased to $98.5
million from $90.1 million in comparison to the same period last year due to
approximately $5.1 million related to certain of the Company's e-commerce
initiatives and costs related to international activities and new products which
were partially offset by staffing and other cost reductions.

                Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 Compared to
                      Three Months Ended September 30, 1999

Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $550.7 million compared to
$700.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 primarily due to reduced
railcar shipments and related declines in railcar parts and services sales.
Operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges, was $34.0 million compared
to $76.9 million.

Railcar Group operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges, was $17.2
million compared to $42.2 million for the same period last year. Revenues and
operating profit declined due to the current downturn in the railcar industry
which resulted in reduced shipments of new cars by 37% over the same period last
year and reduced sales prices. Operating profit margins were further impacted by
changeover of production lines to different car types and start up costs
associated with new products. Included in revenues for the second quarter were
sales of railcars from the Company's lease fleet of approximately $47.5 million,
which resulted in operating profits of approximately $8.5 million. In the third
quarter, the Company expects about one-third of its railcar production to go to
customers of its leasing company which will impact operating profits due to
deferral of profits on railcars sold into the lease fleet.

In the Inland Barge Group, operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges,
was $6.0 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period last year. The
declines are predominately the result of reduced sales prices, primarily on
hopper barges, due to very competitive markets.

In the Parts & Service Group, operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter
charges, was $3.1 million compared to $19.2 million for the same period last
year. This decrease in revenues and operating profit is primarily due to the
softness in the railcar market and start-up costs related to non-railcar parts.

Revenues for the Highway Construction Products Group increased due to a strong
construction market. Operating profit margins were impacted by an increased
proportion of revenues coming from bridge sales which have lower margins and
fewer work days which increased unabsorbed manufacturing burden costs.

Decreased operating profit in the Concrete & Aggregate Group was primarily due
to competitive pricing in certain markets.

In the Industrial Group, operating profit, excluding the 2nd quarter charges,
was $3.6 million compared to $4.0 million for the same period last year. Reduced
revenues and operating profit in the Industrial Group is primarily a result of
competitive pricing pressure and the impact of exiting the flange and valve
business.

<PAGE>   13

In the quarter ended September 30, 2000, selling, engineering and administrative
expenses, excluding second quarter charges, was $49.3 million compared to $46.1
million for the same period last year due to an increase of approximately $3.1
million related to certain of the Company's e-commerce initiatives and costs
related to international activities and new products which were partially offset
by staffing and other cost reductions.

                          Liquidity & Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $58.9 million for the
first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to $132.1 million for the first six
months of fiscal 2000. Capital expenditures during the first six months of
fiscal 2001 were approximately $111.5 million of which approximately $67.7
million was for additions to the railcar lease fleet. This compares to $72.4
million of capital expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2000 of which
$21.8 million was for additions to the railcar lease fleet. Expenditures for
business acquisitions were $16.2 million. Proceeds from the sale of property,
plant and equipment were $52.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001
compared to $22.4 million in fiscal 2000.

In the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company repurchased approximately
1.1 million shares of common stock for $22.5 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 remainder of the
fiscal year.
