(b) Pro Forma Financial Information

On October 26, 2001, Trinity completed its merger transaction between a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Trinity and privately owned Thrall. Thrall is a
leading railcar manufacturer, with operations in both the United States and
Europe. Under terms of the agreement, Trinity paid $165.5 million in cash and
issued 7.15 million shares of its common stock at the closing. Additional
estimated amounts have been accrued related to the working capital adjustment
per the merger agreement ($18.4 million) and transaction fees ($5.2 million). In
addition, Trinity under certain circumstances has agreed to make additional
payments, not to exceed $45 million over five years, based on a formula related
to annual railcar industry production levels. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements are based on the historical consolidated
financial statements of Trinity and Thrall, adjusted to give effect to the
transactions described herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements consist of
(i) an Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for
the year ended March 31, 2001; (ii) an Unaudited Pro Forma Interim Condensed
Consolidated Statement of Operations for six months ended September 30, 2001;
and (iii) a Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30,
2001. Both the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of
Operations for the year

                                       2



ended March 31, 2001 and the Unaudited Pro Forma Interim Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations for six months ended September 30, 2001 give effect to
the merger of Thrall as if it had occurred at the beginning of their respective
periods. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect to the
transaction as if it had occurred as of September 30, 2001.

The merger of Thrall and the related adjustments are described in the
accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available
information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable. In our
opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data
have been made. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
statements do not purport to represent what the results of operations or
financial condition would actually have been had the transaction in fact
occurred on such dates or to project the results of operations or financial
condition for any future period or date. The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements of Trinity and Thrall and
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations. Pro Forma results do not include certain restructuring charges to be
incurred by Trinity as a result of the Thrall merger. The restructuring charges
will be recorded during the quarter ending December 31, 2001.

The merger of Thrall has been accounted for as a purchase and the purchase price
has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon
estimated fair market values. The purchase price allocation for the Thrall
merger is subject to change when additional information concerning asset and
liability valuations is obtained.

The historical consolidated financial statements of Trinity and Thrall were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Shareholders of
Thrall Car Manufacturing Company:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of THRALL CAR
MANUFACTURING COMPANY (an Illinois corporation) AND SUBSIDIARIES as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows
and shareholders' investment for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Thrall Car
Manufacturing Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

      Thrall Car Manufacturing Company ("TCMC") and its subsidiaries (the
      "Company"), a Sub-Chapter S corporation incorporated in Illinois, are
      engaged in the manufacturing of railroad freight cars and associated
      products and services.

      The Company's world headquarters is located in Chicago Heights, Illinois,
      and the Company has U.S manufacturing operations in Chicago Heights, IL,
      Cartersville, GA, Winder, GA, Clinton, IL, a parts operation in Harvey, IL
      and has international operations in the United Kingdom and the Czech
      Republic.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TCMC and its
      subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been
      eliminated.

      CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
      three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

      SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

      The Company's short-term investments are comprised of fixed income and
      equity securities, which are all classified as trading securities and are
      carried at fair market value. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses
      on trading securities are included in net earnings for the period. In
      determining realized gains or losses, the cost of securities sold is based
      on the specific identification method.

      REVENUE RECOGNITION

      The Company recognizes revenue when title passes to the customer, cars are
      certified or services are provided.


                                      F-8



      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      Expenses for research and development are charged to income as incurred.
      Such expenses were $3,409 and $2,598 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

      INVENTORIES

      Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Inventory costs
      include material, labor, and factory overhead. Cost is determined using
      the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method for the Company's domestic
      operations and represents approximately 79.8% and 81.7% of inventories at
      December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Foreign inventories use the
      first-in, first-out ("FIFO") cost method.

      Inventory reserves are primarily reserves for inventory shrink and excess
      & obsolete inventory. Such reserves are determined on a
      location-by-location basis. Shrink reserves are based on historical
      experience and excess & obsolete reserves are determined on a specific
      identification basis. Such reserves are based on the carrying cost of the
      related inventory.

      PROPERTY PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

      Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated
      depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged
      directly against income. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed
      of, the original cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the
      respective accounts and the profit or loss resulting from the disposal is
      reflected in income. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized.

      It is the Company's policy to depreciate the cost of property, plant and
      equipment over the estimated useful lives of the assets primarily using
      the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives are as follows:



                             ASSET DESCRIPTION                    LIFE
                   -------------------------------------     -------------
                                                          
                   Buildings and leasehold improvements        10-30 years
                   Machinery and equipment                      5-12 years
                                                             =============


      GOODWILL & OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

      Intangible assets primarily consist of goodwill and patents. Goodwill
      represents the excess of the cost of purchased businesses over the fair
      value of their net assets acquired. Goodwill and patents are being
      amortized using the straight-line method over 15 years.

      LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      The Company continually evaluates whether circumstances have occurred that
      indicate the remaining estimated useful life of its long-lived assets may
      warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be
      recoverable. When factors indicate that such assets should be evaluated
      for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of the undiscounted
      cash flows over the remaining life of the asset in measuring whether the
      asset is recoverable.


                                      F-9



      PRODUCT WARRANTY

      Product warranty costs include labor and material costs associated with
      repairs through the end of the expressed warranty period, generally
      one-year. These costs are accrued considering historical warranty cost
      experience and a periodic assessment of expected warranty costs associated
      with each sale.

      Unreimbursed costs to repair equipment after the warranty period are
      incurred solely at the discretion of management and are expensed as
      incurred.

      WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND PRODUCT AND GENERAL LIABILITY COSTS

      The financial statements include estimated costs, including costs not
      reimbursable under insurance contracts, of settling workers' compensation
      and product and general liability claims. These estimates are determined
      from historical claims incurred experience, using actuarial computations
      of the estimated ultimate settlement cost of such claims, including claims
      incurred but not yet reported. The Company maintains stop-loss insurance
      provisions to mitigate severe losses related to such costs.

      SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS

      Because there are a limited number of customers (railroads, leasing
      companies and large shippers) that purchase freight cars, sales to
      particular customers may be significant in an individual year or years.
      Sales to customers that purchased greater than 10% of the Company's sales
      accounted for 39% (three customers) and 52% (three customers) of total
      revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
      Sales are generally made on open trade credit terms. Operating revenues
      and the collection of receivables are substantially dependent upon the
      economies of the railroad industry in general.

      INCOME TAXES

      The Company is a Sub-Chapter S Corporation. Accordingly, federal income
      tax expense has not been recognized in the Company's results of
      operations. However, the Company does provide for state income tax expense
      in the consolidated statements of income. It is the Company's policy to
      pay dividends to its shareholders to allow for the payment of taxes
      related to the results of the Company's operations.

      FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

      Net assets of non-U.S. subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other
      than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates of
      exchange. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange
      rate for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded
      directly as a separate component of shareholders' investment and shown as
      a component of other comprehensive income. Gains and losses resulting from
      foreign transactions are included in the consolidated statements of
      income.


                                      F-10



      DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
      of each class of financial instrument held by the Company:

            CURRENT ASSETS AND CURRENT LIABILITIES--The carrying value
            approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these items.

            LONG-TERM DEBT--The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is
            based on secondary market indicators. Because the Company's debt is
            not quoted, estimates are based on each obligation's
            characteristics, including remaining maturities, interest rate,
            credit rating, collateral, amortization schedule and liquidity. The
            carrying amount of the Senior Notes is approximately $369 higher
            than its estimated market value.

      USE OF ESTIMATES

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to
      make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and
      disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

      RECLASSIFICATIONS

      Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements and accompanying
      footnotes have been reclassified to conform to the current year's
      financial statement presentation.

      NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position 98-5, which provides
      guidance on the financial reporting of start-up costs and organization
      costs. This statement, which requires the costs of start-up activities and
      organization costs to be expensed as incurred, did not have a material
      effect on the financial statements.

      In June, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
      of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133
      establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
      derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded
      in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
      liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 requires that changes
      in a derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless
      specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for
      qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset the
      related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires
      that a company must formally document, designate and assess the
      effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

      SFAS No. 133, as amended, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
      years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133 must be applied to (a)
      derivative instruments and (b) certain derivative instruments embedded in
      hybrid contracts that were issued, acquired or substantively modified
      after December 31, 1997. The Company did not have any derivative
      instruments that qualified for special accounting treatment under SFAS No.
      133 at December 31, 2000.

3.    CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT

      Thrall Europa ("TE"), a United Kingdom unlimited liability company and
      subsidiary of TCMC, has a five-year supply agreement with a rail freight
      transportation company that operates in the United Kingdom. Under the
      terms of this agreement, TE supplies a minimum of 500 railcars over five
      years, which commenced on July, 1998.

      On December 9, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Solimar
      Inc. ("Solimar") to purchase the outstanding stock of Solimar for
      approximately $1,500. Under a separate agreement with the previous owner,
      the Company acquired patents in the amount of $650, which are being
      amortized over 5 years. The purchase agreement requires additional future
      payments to the seller.

      On March 8, 2000, the Company acquired a 45% interest in Thrall Vagonka
      Studenka ("TVS"), a Czech Republic company, which manufactures railroad
      freight cars, for $326. On December 27, 2000, the Company acquired another
      49% share of the entity for $9,354. The acquisition of TVS was accounted
      for under the purchase method of accounting. The results of operations of
      TVS were consolidated effective December 27, 2000. The value of the
      preliminary purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets

11.   RESTRUCTURING

      In December 2000, the Company announced a planned reduction in work force
      at its Chicago Heights and Winder plants (the "Plan") to adjust its
      operating capacity related to decreasing customer demand. The Plan
      involves idling production lines at both plants. This resulted in the
      severing of related hourly and salary personnel identified with those
      lines.

      As a result of the Plan, the Company recorded a charge of $3,118 in
      December 2000. The charge consists of $1,698 in severance costs to be paid
      to approximately 150 hourly and salaried employees and a curtailment loss
      of $1,420 associated with the pension plan covering the hourly employees
      terminated under the plan. The curtailment loss was recorded as part of
      net periodic pension cost (see Note 12). The charge was accounted for in
      accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus 94-3, Liability
      Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to
      Exit an Activity.

      years of service and compensation. The Company may also make discretionary
      matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 4% of a participant's
      salary reduction contribution. Profit-sharing contributions for the plan
      relating to the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, were $2,956 and
      $3,450, respectively.

      The Company also sponsors a number of defined benefit plans covering
      specific union and nonunion employees. Benefits are based upon years of
      service and a rate negotiated by a bargaining unit, if applicable. It is
      the Company's policy to meet the funding requirements of the Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Plan assets consist primarily of

      During 2000, the Company curtailed a portion of the plan as a result of a
      reduction in workforce at its Chicago Heights plant. The reduction in
      hourly employees covered by the plan resulted in a charge of $1,420 (see
      Note 11).

      Company maintains an accrued liability representing its present estimate
      of the total cost to resolve all of these matters. In the opinion of
      management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a
      material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations
      of the Company.

16.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

      Effective for the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company adopted
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about
      Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131). SFAS 131
      requires presentation of segment information consistent with information
      utilized by management for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating
      business performance.

      Management evaluates its business based on the location of its operations:
      North America and Europe. Management does not evaluate its business based
      on product or service lines. As such, disclosure of segment information at
      the product or service line level is not practical. For geographic segment
      reporting purposes, the Company has three segments: the U.S., Great
      Britain and the Czech Republic.


                                      F-18

17.      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (UNAUDITED)

      On July 19, 2001, the Company completed a restructuring pursuant to which
      it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Thrall Car Management Company, Inc.
      ("Management"). On August 13, 2001 the Company and Trinity Industries,
      Inc. ("Trinity") announced that they had entered into a definitive
      agreement whereby the Company would merge with Trinity's railcar


                                      F-19



      business in exchange for cash and common stock of Trinity. The merger
      closed on October 26, 2001.

      In connection with the merger agreement, the Company repaid the $100,000
      private placement debt and related interest and other costs of $1,094 in
      September 2001. To fund the payment, the Company used proceeds of $28,138
      from the sale of equity securities, $36,360 from the sale of fixed income
      securities, $29,549 of proceeds received in settlement of the revolving
      note receivable from CMC (see Note 15) and $7,047 in cash and equivalents.
      Additionally, the Company repaid all outstanding Industrial Revenue Bonds
      in October 2001. Prior to completion of the merger, certain assets and
      liabilities of the Company were distributed to Management.

      As a result of continued reductions in customer demand in 2001, the
      Company suspended operations in Chicago Heights and Winder and reduced its
      workforces in its Cartersville and Clinton facilities.

                               SEPTEMBER 30, 2001



GENERAL


The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared from the books and records of Thrall Car Manufacturing Company
("Thrall" or the "Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Duchossois Industries.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2001, the results
of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and
2000, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, have been
made. These financial statements and notes are condensed as permitted by the
instructions to Form 8-K, and should be read in conjunction with the audited
consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein for the years
ended December 31, 2000 and 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 effect on the Company's consolidated financial
statements.



SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 26, 2001, the Company merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Trinity Industries, Inc. ("Trinity") pursuant to which Trinity tendered to the
Company's shareholder consideration of $165.6 million in cash (subject to an
adjustment relating to the level of the Company's working capital at the closing
date) and 7.15 million shares of its common stock. In addition, Trinity agreed
to make additional payments, not to exceed $45 million over five years, based on
a formula related to annual railcar industry production levels. Prior to the
merger, the Company repaid its $100.0 million private placement debt and its
$13.0 million Industrial Revenue Bonds at par, and distributed to its
shareholder certain non-operating assets including cash, investments and real
estate, and the shareholder assumed specified liabilities associated with the
distributed assets and with previously discontinued operations of the Company.
