Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Partners and Shareholders
Rail Partners Limited Partnership and Consolidated Entities, and
Rail Management Corporation
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Rail Partners Limited Partnership and consolidated entities, and Rail Management Corporation (an affiliated corporation) all of which are under common ownership and common management, as of December 31, 2004, and the related combined statements of income, owners’ capital, and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Rail Partners Limited Partnership and consolidated entities, and Rail Management Corporation (an affiliated corporation), at December 31, 2004, and the combined results of their operations and their combined cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2004
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Organization — The accompanying combined financial statements include the accounts of Rail Partners Limited Partnership and Consolidated Entities (“RPLP”), and Rail Management Corporation (“RMC”). The two entities are collectively referred to herein as the “Company”. Minority interest represents the minority shareholder’s (ASARCO) proportionate share of the equity in Copper Basin Railway, Inc., one of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidating RPLP and in combining RPLP and RMC.
At December 31, 2004, the Company owned, or indirectly owned through affiliated entities, the following entities:
     
CONSOLIDATED ENTITIES   STATES OF OPERATION
 
AN Railway, L.L.C. (“ANR”)
  Florida
Atlantic and Western Railway, Limited Partnership (“ATW”)

  Indiana
Riceboro Southern Railway, L.L.C. (“RSR”)

  Illinois and Ohio
Capital Structure — RPLP and the consolidated entities, except RMC, KWT, GTC, RLI, EBL and CBR, are organized as limited partnerships (“LP”) or limited liabilities companies (“LLC”). Included in the combined statement of owners’ capital of the Company at December 31, 2004 are 6,642.5 membership units of RPLP owned by various trusts controlled by the K. Earl Durden family. All other membership units in the LPs and LLCs are owned by other combined entities and thus are eliminated in combination.
RLI was established as a QSS Subsidiary of RMC pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. RMC and KWT have elected subchapter S status pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. KWT was subsequently converted into a QSS Subsidiary of RMC pursuant

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. CBR is organized as a C Corporation. RMC is authorized to issue two series of common stock, which are Series A voting common stock and Series B non-voting common stock. Included in the combined statement of owners’ capital at December 31, 2004 are 10,000 shares (authorized, issued and outstanding) of RMC no par common stock, comprised of 2,896 shares of Series A voting common stock and 7,104 shares of Series B non-voting common stock. The common stock of RLI, KWT, and CBR, except for the 45% minority interest in CBR, is held by other combined entities and thus is eliminated in combination.
On December 31, 2004, Panama City Beach Office Park, LTD (“PCB”), which was owned 99% by RPLP and 1% by RMC, adopted a plan of merger into Durden Enterprises, LLC, a company owned solely by K. Earl Durden (“KED”) and Michael E. Durden (“MED”). RPLP distributed 33.24% of its interest in PCB to RMC, which KED subsequently purchased. KED also purchased RMC’s 1% interest in PCB. RPLP distributed its remaining 66.76% interest in PCB to the various trusts controlled by the K. Earl Durden family. All unit distributions were made at book value.
Profits and losses are allocated to each partner in the LPs and LLCs based upon their respective ownership percentages. Distributions, including distributions in the event of liquidation, are made in accordance with provisions of the partnership agreements and such distributions may vary from the individual partner’s proportionate capital account balances.
Nature of Operations and Customer Concentration — RPLP is a holding company that holds investments in companies operating short-line railroads and other entities in various states that serve a limited number of customers, lease rail cars, and provide certain other services to related and unrelated entities. RMC is a holding company that holds an investment in RPLP, KWT, GTC, EBL, and RLI.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue Recognition — Revenue from transportation and switching services is generally recognized upon completion of the service.
Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. Changes in the valuation allowance have not been material to the financial statements.
Inventories — Inventories consist principally of tools, spare parts, and materials used in the Company’s day-to-day operations. These inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Equipment — Property and equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives at straight-line rates for financial reporting purposes. Certain assets are depreciated at accelerated rates for income tax reporting purposes. Major classes of depreciable property and equipment and their estimated service lives are as follows:
     
    ESTIMATED
    LIVES
    IN YEARS
 
Buildings
  20 — 40
Railroad tracks and property
  12 — 20
Trucks and autos
  5 —   7
Machinery and equipment
  3 — 12
Furniture and fixtures
  3 — 10

NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — Goodwill totaling approximately $24,000,000 was recognized by the Company on ECI’s acquisition of Green Bay Packaging’s interest in RPLP and RMC in 1996. The recorded amounts represent the excess of the price paid for the acquisitions over the book value of the interests acquired. Goodwill was being amortized on the straight-line method over twenty years.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement 142 as of January 1, 2003. Financial condition and results of operations in accordance with Statement 142 are reflected in the accompanying financial statements.
Income Taxes — RPLP, RMC, KWT, GTC, EBL, and all other LP’s and LLCs are organized as non-taxable entities. Since taxable income of these entities is includable in the income tax returns of the partners and owners, income taxes are not provided for on the income of these entities.
Provision for income taxes is, however, recorded on income of CBR. Deferred income taxes for CBR reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. These differences relate primarily to depreciation.
Accounting Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — During 2004, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees.” FIN 45 requires increased disclosure of guarantees, including those for which likelihood of payment is remote, and product warranty information. FIN 45 also requires that guarantors recognize a liability for certain types of guarantees equal to the fair value of the guarantee upon its issuance. The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the results of operations or financial position.
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses whether business enterprises must consolidate the financial statements of entities known as “variable interest entities”. A variable interest entity is defined by FIN 46 to be a business entity which has one or both of the following characteristics: (1) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional support from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will absorb some or all of the expected losses at the entity; and (2) the equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest; (a) direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or similar rights, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities, or (c) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if they occur, which is the compensation for risk of absorbing expected losses. The Company adopted FIN 46’s accounting provisions for the year ended December 31, 2003. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on results of operations or financial position.
In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” which supersedes SAB 101 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104, among other things, rescinds accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements which was superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” The issuance of SAB 104 reflects the concepts contained in EITF 00-21. The other revenue recognition concepts contained in SAB 101 remain largely unchanged. The issuance of SAB 104 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Included in the unaudited combined balance sheets of the Company at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are 6,642.5 membership units of RPLP owned by various trusts controlled by the K. Earl Durden family. All other membership units in the LPs and LLCs are owned by other combined entities and thus are eliminated in combination.
RLI was established as a QSS Subsidiary of RMC pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. RMC and KWT have elected subchapter S status pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. KWT was subsequently converted into a QSS Subsidiary of RMC pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. CBR is organized as a C Corporation. RMC is authorized to issue two series of common stock, which are Series A voting common stock and Series B non-voting common stock. Included in the unaudited combined balance sheets at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004 are 10,000 shares (authorized, issued and outstanding) of RMC no par common stock, comprised of 2,896 shares of Series A voting common stock and 7,104 shares of Series B non-voting common stock. The common stock of RLI, KWT, and CBR, except for the 45% minority interest in CBR, is held by other combined entities and thus is eliminated in combination.
On December 31, 2004, Panama City Beach Office Park, LTD (“PCB”), which was owned 99% by RPLP and 1% by RMC, adopted a plan of merger into Durden Enterprises, LLC, a company owned solely by K. Earl Durden (“KED”) and Michael E. Durden (“MED”). RPLP distributed 33.24% of its interest in PCB to RMC, which KED subsequently purchased. KED also purchased RMC’s 1% interest in PCB. RPLP distributed its remaining 66.76% interest in PCB to the various trusts controlled by the K. Earl Durden family. All unit distributions were made at book value.
Profits and losses are allocated to each partner in the LPs and LLCs based upon their respective ownership percentages. Distributions, including distributions in the event of liquidation, are made in accordance with provisions of the partnership agreements and such distributions may vary from the individual partner’s proportionate capital account balances.
Nature of Operations and Customer Concentration — RPLP is a holding company that holds investments in companies operating short-line railroads and other entities in various states that serve a limited number of customers, lease rail cars, and provide certain other services to related and unrelated entities. RMC is a holding company that holds an investment in RPLP, KWT, GTC, EBL, and RLI.
NOTE 2 — RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation Number 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“FIN47”). FIN 47 clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We do not anticipate that the implementation of FIN 47 will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Exhibit 99.2
Genesee & Wyoming Inc.
Unaudited Combined Pro Forma Data
Basis of Presentation
The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and statements of operations combine the historical consolidated financial statements of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (GWI) and Rail Partners Limited Partnership and Affiliated Entities (Rail Partners). On June 1, 2005, we acquired Rail Partners which consisted of substantially all of the railroad properties of Rail Management Corporation (RMC) for $243.0 million in cash, the assumption of $1.4 million of non-interest bearing debt and $1.3 million in acquisition costs. We have recorded the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. We funded the $243.0 million cash purchase price through a combination of our newly expanded $225.0 million senior revolving credit facility and by expanding a private placement note agreement to include $125.0 million of 10-Year Senior Floating Rate Notes.
We derived the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, and statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 from our unaudited financial statements as of March 31, 2005, audited financial statements as of December 31, 2004, the unaudited financial statements of Rail Partners as of March 31, 2005 and audited financial statements of Rail Partners as of December 31, 2004.
The pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2005, gives effect to the purchase of Rail Partners using the purchase method of accounting as if the acquisition and the borrowings to finance the acquisition had been consummated on March 31, 2005. The pro forma combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 gives effect to the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting as if the acquisition and the borrowings to finance the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2004. The pro forma combined balance sheet and pro forma combined statements of operations also give effect to certain adjustments that are directly attributable to the acquisition of Rail Partners. The Rail Partners operating results reflected in these pro forma operating results include certain senior management, administrative, deferred compensation and other expenses that we do not believe will continue as ongoing expenses but do not qualify for adjustment under the treatment and presentation of pro forma financials.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared based upon currently available information and assumptions that are deemed appropriate by our management. We are providing the pro forma combined financial information for illustrative purposes only. The companies may have performed differently had they been combined during the periods presented. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies actually been combined during the periods presented or the future results that the combined company will experience. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations do not give effect to any cost savings or operating synergies expected to result from the acquisition or the costs to achieve such cost savings or operating synergies.

    628

    41,131  
The purchase price includes $243.0 million paid in cash to RMC, $1.4 million of debt assumed from RMC, a $130,000 working capital adjustment to be paid to RMC, and $1.3 million of acquisition costs. We funded the $243.0 million cash purchase price through a combination of our newly expanded $225.0 million senior revolving credit facility and by expanding a private placement note arrangement with $100.0 million 10-Year Senior Notes and $25.0 million of 7-Year Senior Floating Notes. The revaluation of the property and equipment was based on independent appraisals.
The acquisition of Rail Partners was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, no current or deferred tax assets or liabilities were assumed in the acquisition because the book basis and tax basis of all assets and liabilities were equal. The total purchase cost of the acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on available information and certain assumptions that we believe to be reasonable with regard to their respective fair values. Changes to these original estimates are not expected to be material.
