The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 5 GATX FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. All other consolidated financial statements are unaudited but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, which management considers necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated statements of income, balance sheets and cash flows for the respective periods. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire year. For further information, refer to GATX Financial Corporation's (GFC or the Company) annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. (2) On June 21, 2002, GATX Corporation (GATX or Parent Company) transferred 100% of the stock of American Steamship Company (ASC) to GFC. The financial data of GFC has been restated for all periods presented to reflect the inclusion of ASC's operations. (3) Certain amounts in the 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. (4) Discontinued operations - Operating results for GATX Terminals Corporation (Terminals) are shown net of taxes of zero and $2.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001. The 2002 gain on sale of portion of segment represents the sale of GFC's interest in a bulk-liquid storage facility located in Mexico and is net of taxes of $3.0 million. The 2001 gain on sale of portion of segment primarily reflects the sale of substantially all of the Company's interest in Terminals and is net of taxes of $199.8 million. (5) GFC and its subsidiaries are engaged in various matters of litigation and have a number of unresolved claims pending, including proceedings under governmental laws and regulations related to environmental matters. While the amounts claimed are substantial and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation and claims cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that amounts, if any, required to be paid by GFC and its subsidiaries in the discharge of such liabilities, are not likely to be material to GFC's consolidated financial position or results of operations. (6) Effective January 1, 2002, GFC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under these new rules, goodwill is no longer amortized, but rather subject to an annual impairment test in accordance with the Statements. A fair value approach is used to test goodwill for impairment. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount, if any, by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair value. In accordance with FAS 142, the company completed a review of all recorded goodwill. Fair values were established using discounted cash flows. Based on this review, the Company determined that all of the goodwill related to its Polish railcar reporting unit, Dyrekcja Eksploatacji Cystern (DEC) was in excess of its fair market value at January 1, 2002. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash impairment charge of $34.9 million. Such charge is non-operational in nature and is recognized as a cumulative effect of an accounting change as of January 1, 2002 in the consolidated statements of income. The impairment charge was due primarily to more conservative expectations based on current market conditions and a lower long-term growth rate projected for DEC. 6 Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment during the first nine months of 2002 are as follows (in millions):
FINANCIAL GATX SERVICES RAIL TOTAL ---------- ------- ------- BALANCE AT DECEMBER 31, 2001 $ 21.4 $ 41.9 $ 6.3 Purchase accounting adjustments -- 10.5 10.5 Cumulative effect of accounting change -- (34.9) (34.9) ---------- ------- ------- BALANCE AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 $ 21.4 $ 17.5 $ 38.9 ========== ======= =======
Application of the non-amortization of goodwill provisions of the Statement, including equity method goodwill, will result in an increase in net income of approximately $6.8 million for the full year 2002, compared to the full year 2001. As required by SFAS No. 142, the results of operations for periods prior to adoption have not been restated. Following is a reconciliation of net income, as reported, to net income, as adjusted, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2001, computed as if SFAS No. 142 had been adopted effective January 1, 2001 (in millions):

(7) In the fourth quarter of 2001, GFC recorded a pre-tax charge of $10.9 million related to a reduction in workforce. This action was part of GFC's initiative to reduce selling, general and administrative costs in response to economic conditions and the divestiture of the Terminals operations. This charge included involuntary employee separation and benefit costs for 135 employees company wide, as well as legal fees, occupancy and other costs. The employees terminated included professional and administrative staff. At the end of 2001, the remaining accrual was $8.7 million. As of September 30, 2002, all of the employee terminations were completed. The amount of termination benefits paid in the first nine months of 2002 totaled $3.5 million. Occupancy and other costs of $1.3 million were also paid in the first nine months of 2002. Remaining cash payments of $3.9 million will be funded from ongoing operations and are not expected to have a material impact on GFC's liquidity position. (8) Restricted cash of $123.2 million at September 30, 2002 is comprised of cash and cash equivalents which are restricted as to withdrawal or usage. GFC's restricted cash primarily includes an amount designated to fund the construction of railcars for a customer and additional amounts maintained as required by contract for three bankruptcy remote, special-purpose corporations that are wholly owned by GFC. (9) In the first quarter of 2002, GFC entered into a railcar financing transaction with GATX Rail Holdings I, Inc., (Rail Holdings) a wholly-owned subsidiary of GATX Corporation, for a $93.6 million sale-leaseback of covered hopper cars and tank cars. 7 (10) Interest income on advances to GATX, which is included in gross income on the income statement, was $19.5 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $22.7 million in the prior year period. These advances have no fixed maturity date. Interest income on advances to GATX is based on an interest rate that is adjusted annually and is reflective of current market rates. In the first quarter of 2002, the Parent Company issued convertible debt securities for net proceeds of $169.5 million. The proceeds were subsequently provided to GFC, $124.5 million as repayment of advances due from GATX and $45.0 million as an equity contribution. GFC also provides a guarantee on this $175.0 million of convertible debt issued by the Parent Company. (11) The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations was 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 40% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The 2002 rate is favorably impacted by Extraterritorial Income (ETI) benefits related to cross-border leases. The Parent Company anticipates showing a net operating loss on its 2002 U.S. consolidated income tax return. This loss may be carried back to offset taxable income in prior years, resulting in a tax refund. As of September 30, 2002, GFC's recoverable income tax was $96.7 million. 8 (12) The following financial data conforms to SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and depicts the profitability, identifiable assets and cash flow of each of GFC's continuing business segments. Segment profitability is presented to reflect operating results inclusive of estimated allocated support expenses from the parent company and estimated applicable interest costs. Discontinued operations and the cumulative effect of accounting change are not included in the financial data presented below. Previously, GFC provided its services and products through two operating segments: GATX Capital and GATX Rail. In June 2002, the Parent Company transferred to GFC, ownership in ASC, an operator of a fleet of self-unloading vessels on the Great Lakes. The ASC operations were combined with the former GATX Capital segment to comprise the Financial Services segment. As a result, GFC now operates through the Financial Services and GATX Rail segments. In prior years, the former GATX Capital segment included a rail business unit that leases freight cars and locomotives under operating and finance leases. During 2001, GFC combined the rail business unit of GATX Capital with GATX Rail, a full service lessor of railcars, into one rail segment. The financial data for Financial Services and GATX Rail has been restated for all periods presented to reflect these changes in the composition of each operating segment.

10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2002 TO FIRST NINE MONTHS OF 2001 GATX Financial Corporation's (GFC or the Company) net income for the first nine months of 2002 was $57.7 million, a $165.7 million decrease from the $223.4 million reported for the same period in 2001. Comparisons between periods are affected by gains on the sale of discontinued operations and various non-comparable items in both periods, primarily telecommunications (telecom) related charges, costs associated with the closing of a railcar repair facility in the first nine months of 2001 and charges related to goodwill impairment under SFAS 142 in 2002. RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS GFC's gross income for the first nine months of 2002 of $1,050.7 million was $148.8 million lower than the prior year primarily as a result of a decrease in lease income and lower gains with respect to asset remarketing and sales of securities. Income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of accounting change for the first nine months of 2002 was $86.4 million compared to $49.3 million in the prior year period. The 2002 period was favorably impacted by reduced selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense as a result of a reduction in workforce implemented last year, and lower operating costs, largely due to the costs associated with the closure of a GATX Rail service facility in 2001. Also contributing to the increase in income from continuing operations was a decrease in pre-tax asset impairment charges of $54.3 million compared to the prior year period due to the absence of telecom charges. FINANCIAL SERVICES Financial Services' gross income of $525.7 million included $15.8 million attributable to gains on extinguishment of debt, as discussed below. Excluding these gains, gross income decreased $159.9 million from the prior year period principally due to decreases in lease and interest income and lower gains with respect to asset remarketing and the sale of securities. Lease income of $307.4 million declined $91.9 million from the prior year period due to lower average finance lease balances, lower technology operating lease assets and lower lease rates. Interest income of $44.0 million decreased $11.4 million due to lower average secured loan balances as well as a decrease in annualized yield compared to the prior year period. Asset remarketing income includes gains from the sale of assets from Financial Services' own portfolio as well as residual sharing fees from the sale of managed assets. Asset remarketing income of $36.1 million decreased $46.7 million from the prior year period primarily due to decreased residual sharing fees from managed portfolios, partially offset by an increase in technology asset remarketing activity. The prior year period also included a gain of $25.4 million on the sale of a steel manufacturing facility and $9.4 million from the sale of marine investments. Gains on the sale of securities, which are derived from warrants received as part of financing transactions with non-public companies, were $3.4 million, down significantly from the $35.1 million recorded in the prior year. Decreases in gains on the sale of securities are indicative of limited initial public offering activity compared to 2001. Because the timing of such sales is dependent on changing market conditions, gains on the sale of securities and asset remarketing income do not occur evenly from period to period. In addition, based on current valuations on early stage companies, it is unlikely that gains on the sale of securities will approach 2001 levels in the near future. Share of affiliates' earnings of $49.0 million was $20.1 million higher than 2001. The increase is primarily due to higher income from certain specialty finance affiliates and the absence of losses from telecom affiliates compared to the prior year period. 11 Ownership costs of $309.1 million decreased $83.0 million compared to the prior year. Depreciation expense of $188.9 million decreased $37.6 million from 2001, reflecting lower average technology operating lease balances, partially offset by higher average air operating leases. Operating lease expense of $10.5 million decreased $11.8 million from the prior year period partly due to the reversal of a previously recorded sublease liability resulting from the disposition of the related transaction. Interest expense of $109.7 million decreased $33.6 million from 2001 primarily due to lower borrowing rates. SG&A expense of $72.3 million decreased $27.3 million compared to the prior year due to lower human resource expenses as a result of the fourth quarter 2001 reduction in workforce and reduced legal expenses attributable to litigation in 2001. The provision for possible losses is Financial Services' estimate of possible credit losses inherent in the investment portfolio based on a review of credit, collateral and market risks. The provision for possible losses of $28.4 million decreased $33.0 million from the prior year. Approximately $10.0 million of the current year provision and $2.3 million of the asset impairment loss were related to one technology leasing investment, which was largely offset by a gain on extinguishment of nonrecourse debt of $13.0 million associated with this same investment. Financial Services frequently utilizes nonrecourse debt to finance its technology portfolio. The prior year provision for possible losses reflected the deterioration of certain steel, venture and telecom investments. Asset impairment charges of $15.6 million decreased $54.3 million from the prior year, which included charges of $67.3 million related to the telecom portfolio. Future provision for possible losses will depend on the size of the portfolio and business and economic conditions. The allowance for possible losses of $71.2 million decreased $15.3 million from December 31, 2001 and was approximately 6.0% of reservable assets, consistent with 6.0% at year end. Reservable assets are defined as operating lease rent receivables, direct financing leases, leveraged leases and secured loans. Net charge-offs of reservable assets totaled $43.7 million for the nine-month period primarily related to venture and technology investments, including $12.0 million related to the technology investment discussed above. Financial Services previously provided financing to start-up telecom service providers as an activity in its venture finance business unit. Venture finance discontinued this financing activity in 2001 and its remaining telecom exposure was $10.2 million, or approximately 0.3% of Financial Services' total assets at September 30, 2002. Separately, Financial Services also leases various types of equipment to established telecom service providers through its technology business unit. Non-performing assets of $93.3 million, excluding assets within joint ventures, decreased by $3.1 million from year end. Net income of $34.3 million, although $23.4 million higher than last year, reflects a decline in lease income, asset remarketing income, and gains on the sale of securities compared to the 2001 period, consistent with current economic conditions. The favorable increase over the prior year is primarily due to lower SG&A expense and the absence of losses related to telecom investments in 2002. Financial Services continues to be negatively impacted by the weak economic environment and challenging market conditions, which has resulted in lower lease rates and lower investment volume in its core markets. In particular, the aircraft leasing market has been negatively impacted as most lessors have aggressively attempted to maintain high utilization. As a result, aircraft lease rates remain under pressure. Currently, there are leases in place with respect to all of the company's 16 new aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2002. Of the six new aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2003, the Company has signed leases for three aircraft. In addition, the Company has either signed leases or signed letters of intent for all 2002 scheduled renewals for owned aircraft for which the Company has direct remarketing responsibility. The Company also has eight renewals of owned aircraft for which it has direct remarketing responsibility scheduled for 2003, one of which has a signed letter of intent in place as of September 30, 2002. The airline industry remains in a weakened condition and GFC continues to monitor closely its air portfolio due to the greater potential for credit losses and asset impairment. 12 In addition, over the last 18 months several aircraft operators have announced their intention to phase out their Fokker-100 fleets. For example, on August 13, 2002, American Airlines announced it would phase out its fleet of 74 Fokker-100 aircraft from 2003 through 2005. American Airlines also took an unspecified impairment charge on its Fokker-100 aircraft. The well-publicized difficulties in the airline industry have also adversely affected the Fokker-50 market. This environment has caused GFC to examine its exposure, through its 50% interest in Pembroke Group Limited (Pembroke), an aircraft leasing and management company, to Fokker-100 jet and Fokker-50 turboprop aircraft. As of September 30, 2002, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Pembroke, Aircraft Finance and Trading BV (AFT) owned six Fokker-100 and 22 Fokker-50 aircraft and a second subsidiary of Pembroke owned two Fokker-100's. AFT currently has four F-50's in storage. Pembroke's book value of these Fokker aircraft is $190 million. In light of these developments, Pembroke is currently examining these aircraft for impairment. It intends to finalize this analysis in the fourth quarter of 2002. The determination of any impairment charge will be dependent on a number of factors, including expectations on future rental rates and the ultimate economic life of the aircraft. However, after giving consideration to these variables, GFC currently estimates that its proportionate share of impairment loss, if any, will be in the range of $0 to $25 million. As of September 30, 2002, GFC has not recognized any impairment loss with respect to its investment in Pembroke. GATX RAIL (RAIL) Rail's gross income of $506.6 million for the first nine months of 2002 increased $2.7 million over the prior year period. Rental revenue of $458.5 million decreased $9.7 million from the prior year period. In March 2001, Rail acquired Dyrekcja Eksploatacji Cystern (DEC), Poland's national tank car fleet. Excluding DEC, North American rental revenue of $435.8 million was down $16.0 million compared to last year. Difficult economic conditions, combined with aggressive competition, increased railroad efficiency and railcar surpluses have resulted in continued softness in railcar demand and pressure on lease rates. Asset remarketing income of $4.3 million increased $1.9 million from the prior year period primarily due to the sale of a portfolio of residual sharing investments in the first quarter of 2002. Share of affiliates' earnings of $8.7 million increased $3.6 million from the prior year period due to higher earnings at European affiliates. The prior year period included a purchase accounting correction for a European affiliate. Rail's North American fleet, excluding railcars managed for others or owned by affiliates, totaled 109,000 cars at the end of the third quarter compared to 110,000 at the end of the prior year period. In May 2002, Rail acquired 2,700 railcars in Mexico through its Mexican subsidiary. Approximately 99,000 railcars were on lease throughout North America at the end of the third quarter, comparable with the active fleet in the prior year period. Rail's North American utilization was 91% at September 30, 2002. The Railworthiness Directive (Directive) issued by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), discussed below, impacted utilization as existing idle cars were deployed to replace affected cars and cars taken out of service were scrapped. Railcar demand remains soft, negatively impacting utilization; this condition is expected to continue at least through the remainder of 2002. In response to current rail market conditions, Rail has retired excess cars and, generally, limited orders of new railcars to specific customer lease commitments. However, consistent with Rail's commitment to meeting the needs of its customers on a long-term basis and to replace cars to be retired from the existing fleet, the Company has initiated a railcar purchase program. Subsequent to September 30, 2002, the Company entered into supply agreements to acquire 7,500 railcars over the next five years with two manufacturers. Ownership costs of $264.9 million increased $4.2 million from last year primarily due to the purchase of DEC. Operating costs were $122.1 million, down $16.3 million from the prior year. Excluding DEC, operating costs were $109.7 million, a decrease of $21.2 million from the prior year. In the prior year period, Rail's operating costs included $24.5 million of non-comparable items. Of this amount, $19.7 million related to the closing of its East Chicago repair facility. Excluding the non-comparable items, operating costs were higher in 2002 compared to the prior year due to the impact of the Directive and additional car repairs. SG&A expenses decreased $11.8 million from the prior year period to $54.2 million primarily due to the fourth quarter 2001 reduction in workforce. 13 Rail is continuing to address the Directive issued by the FRA in April 2002 relating to a certain class of tank cars that were built or modified with reinforcing bars by GATX Rail prior to 1974. In its Directive, the FRA indicated that cars within this class must be inspected, and repaired if necessary, according to an FRA approved maintenance plan. Approximately 4,200 of Rail's owned railcars with a net book value of approximately $4.0 million are affected by this Directive. In accordance with the Directive, nearly all the subject tank cars have been removed from service. The impact of this Directive on Rail's operating results for the first nine months of 2002 was approximately $1.6 million after tax and includes lost revenue, inspection, cleaning and replacement car costs, partially offset by gains on the accelerated scrapping of affected cars that would otherwise have been retired and scrapped over the next several years. As discussed in footnote (6) to the financial statements, Rail completed its transitional goodwill impairment testing in the third quarter and recorded a $34.9 million impairment charge related to its 2001 acquisition of DEC. Rail's net income of $9.4 million was $12.6 million lower than the prior year primarily due to the cumulative effect of accounting change of $34.9 million related to goodwill impairment in 2002, offset by the absence of 2001 closure costs related to its East Chicago repair facility. Excluding these items, net income increased $6.1 million primarily due to higher asset remarketing income, lower SG&A expense and a lower effective tax rate driven by an exemption for income related to certain railcars on lease outside the United States, offset by lower rental revenue. OTHER Other net income was $7.8 million for the first nine months of 2002 compared to $16.4 million for the prior year period, with the variance primarily due to an increase in net interest expense. The 2001 period included interest income on the proceeds received from the sale of GATX Terminals. RESULTS OF DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In the first quarter 2002, GFC completed the divestiture of Terminals. Financial data for Terminals has been segregated as discontinued operations for all periods presented. In the first quarter of 2002, GFC sold its interest in a bulk-liquid storage facility located in Mexico and recognized a $6.2 million after-tax gain. In the first quarter of 2001, GFC sold the majority of Terminals operations and recognized a net after-tax gain of $171.4 million. Operating results for the first nine months of 2002 were zero, down $2.7 million from the prior year period. Comparisons between periods were affected by the timing of the sale of Terminals' assets. CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the first nine months of 2002 was $266.6 million, or $26.8 million more than the prior year period. Excluding the $141.0 million payments related to the Airlog settlement in the prior period, cash flow was lower due to the deferral to 2003 of anticipated tax refunds generated by the current year tax NOL. Portfolio proceeds and asset sales were $828.5 million, down $154.2 million from $982.7 million in the 2001 period. The decrease was due to lower proceeds from disposals of leased equipment, security sales and cash distributions from joint venture investments, partially offset by an increase in finance lease and loan principal payments received. The current year period also included $93.6 million from the sale-leaseback of railcars with Rail Holdings, and the prior year period included $189.2 million from the sale-leaseback of railcars. 14 Portfolio investments and capital additions for the first nine months of 2002 totaled $887.4 million, a decrease of $591.1 million from the first nine months of 2001. Portfolio investments and capital additions at Financial Services of $828.8 million were $317.9 million lower than the prior year period, primarily due to lower volume in technology, specialty and venture, partially offset by higher volume in air. In the first quarter of 2001, Financial Services acquired a portfolio of technology leases from El Camino Resources for $129.8 million (net of the assumption of $255.6 million of nonrecourse debt). Rail invested $58.6 million in the first nine months of 2002, a decrease of $273.2 million from the prior year. Current year investments include a fleet acquisition of 2,700 railcars in Mexico. The prior year period included $95.8 million for the acquisition of DEC. Indicative of current market conditions, Rail's capital spending for its railcar fleet was $158.0 million lower than the prior year period. Railcar additions are not anticipated to exceed prior year activity. In the current nine-month period, GFC repaid $988.4 million and issued $1,049.4 million of long-term debt. Significant financings in the first nine months of 2002 included the issuance of $250.0 million of senior unsecured term notes, $210.9 million of U.S. Export-Import Bank aircraft financing, a $142.2 million aircraft warehouse facility, $206.6 million of European Credit Agency aircraft financing, a $75.0 million aircraft bridge loan which has been repaid, and $169.5 million of technology non-recourse financing. Debt issuance costs related to 2002 financings were approximately $12.1 million. GFC also provides a guarantee on the $175.0 million of convertible debt issued by the parent company in the first quarter of 2002. GFC funds asset investment and meets debt and lease obligations through cash flow from operations, portfolio proceeds and assets sales, uncommitted money market lines, committed revolving credit facilities, the issuance of unsecured debt, and a variety of secured borrowings. GFC utilizes both the domestic and international bank and capital markets. The availability of these funding options may be adversely impacted by certain factors, including the global economic environment and outlook as well as GFC's financial performance and outlook. Access to capital markets at competitive rates is partly dependent on GFC's credit rating as determined by rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's (S&P) and Moody's Investors Service (Moody's). On March 13, 2002, Moody's downgraded GFC's long-term unsecured debt to Baa3 from Baa2 and GFC's commercial paper to Prime-3 from Prime-2. Moody's currently maintains a stable outlook on GFC's ratings. On March 14, 2002, S&P downgraded GFC's long-term unsecured debt from BBB+ to BBB and GFC's commercial paper from A-2 to A-3. S&P also placed GFC's long-term unsecured debt on credit watch with negative implications. In May 2002, S&P removed GFC from credit watch but maintained the negative outlook. Due to these rating agency actions, GFC's access to the commercial paper market has been seriously constrained and GFC is experiencing more difficulty accessing the long-term capital markets on a cost efficient basis. As of September 30, 2002, GFC had revolving credit facilities totaling $778.3 million. GFC's credit facilities included three agreements for $350.0 million, $283.3 million, and $145.0 million expiring in 2003, 2004 and 2005 respectively. The $145.0 million facility is intended to be utilized by GFC for short-term funding requirements. At September 30, 2002, all credit facilities were unused and available. The revolving credit facilities contain various restrictive covenants, including requirements to maintain a defined minimum net worth and certain financial ratios. At September 30, 2002, GFC was in compliance with all of the covenants and conditions of the credit agreements. GFC has a shelf registration for $1.0 billion of debt securities of which $850.0 million had been issued through September 30, 2002. GFC has unconditional purchase obligations of $1,130.6 million, consisting primarily of committed aircraft deliveries and railcar orders, including the recently announced railcar supply agreement, scheduled as follows: $237.4 million in the remainder of 2002, $370.1 million in 2003, $252.0 million in 2004, $89.4 million in 2005, $90.3 million in 2006, and $91.4 million in 2007. 15 COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER 2002 TO THIRD QUARTER 2001 In the third quarter 2002, GFC reported net income of $28.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the prior year period. FINANCIAL SERVICES Financial Services' gross income of $178.7 million decreased $22.3 million from the prior year period due to lower lease income, asset remarketing income, and gains on the sale of securities. Lease income of $102.8 million was down $19.3 million primarily due to lower average finance lease balances and lower lease rates. Asset remarketing income of $10.2 million was lower than the prior year period by $9.6 million due to lower technology asset remarketing activity. The prior year period also included a gain of $6.9 million from the sale of marine investments. Gains on the sale of securities were $2.3 million, down $5.2 million from the prior year period. Share of affiliates' earnings of $15.2 million increased $10.9 million from last year primarily due to the absence of losses from telecom joint ventures. Prior period earnings from telecom affiliates were negatively impacted by $14.7 million of provision for possible losses and asset impairment charges. Ownership costs of $104.7 million decreased $18.5 million compared to the prior year period due to lower depreciation and interest expense. Depreciation and amortization expense of $62.4 million decreased $10.8 million from 2001 reflecting the lower level of investment in technology operating lease assets, partially offset by higher air operating lease assets. Interest expense of $37.5 million decreased $5.9 million from 2001 due primarily to lower borrowing rates. SG&A expense decreased $3.0 million compared to the prior year due to lower human resource expenses as a result of the fourth quarter 2001 reduction in workforce and reduced outside consulting fees. The provision for possible losses of $2.1 million decreased $22.1 million from 2001. The prior year quarter included a significant provision for telecom investments. Net charge-offs of reservable assets totaled $9.0 million for the current three-month period and included write-offs of venture and specialty finance investments. Asset impairment charges of $9.2 million were $30.1 million lower than the prior year quarter primarily due to the absence of telecom losses. The current year quarter included charges related to technology and specialty finance investments. Net income for the current three-month period was $12.2 million, compared to a loss of $13.3 million in the prior year period. The increase from last year was principally the result of a decrease to the loss provision and asset impairment charges, partially offset by lower lease income, asset remarketing income, and gains on the sale of securities. RAIL Rail's gross income of $164.3 million for the third quarter of 2002 was $1.3 million lower than the prior year. Rental revenue of $146.6 million was down $9.5 million from the prior year period. The decrease in rental revenue is due to ongoing unfavorable market conditions which resulted in lower average rental rates. Share of affiliates' earnings of $2.7 million increased $2.1 million from the prior year period due to higher earnings at European affiliates. The prior year period included a purchase accounting correction for a European affiliate. Ownership costs of $87.0 million were comparable to the prior period. Rail's operating costs of $40.9 million increased by $5.4 million from the prior year period mainly due to increased repair costs resulting from the impact of the Directive and additional car repairs. SG&A expense of $17.3 million decreased $3.9 million from the prior year period due to the fourth quarter 2001 reduction in workforce. 16 Rail's net income of $14.4 million in the third quarter of 2002 was favorable to the prior year period by $1.3 million. 2002 results included the $2.2 million recognition of tax incentives and other favorable items, offset by lower rental revenue and the impact of the FRA Directive of $1.1 million. The impact of the Directive includes lost revenue, inspection, cleaning and replacement car costs, partially offset by gains on the accelerated scrapping of affected cars that would otherwise have been retired and scrapped over the next several years. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 2002 GFC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. For further information refer to footnote (6) to the financial statements. Effective January 1, 2002, GFC adopted SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This Statement supercedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of. Although the new rules retain many of the fundamental recognition and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 121, they modify the criteria required to classify an asset as held-for-sale. SFAS No. 144 also supersedes certain provisions of APB Opinion 30 with regard to reporting the effects of a disposal of a segment of a business and will require expected future operating losses from discontinued operations to be separately reported in discontinued operations during the period in which the losses are incurred (rather than as of the measurement date as presently required by APB 30). GFC does not expect this Statement to have a material impact on GFC's consolidated financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections, effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early application encouraged. The provisions of this Statement update, clarify and simplify certain existing accounting pronouncements. For the period ended September 30, 2002, GFC applied the provisions of SFAS No. 145. Specifically, SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4, which previously required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effects. In accordance with the Statement, GFC's gain on extinguishment of debt of $15.9 million recognized in the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, is not considered an extraordinary item, and was therefore included in results of operations. In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. This statement requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the commitment date of an exit or disposal plan. The statement covers costs, including certain types of employee severance, associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, or other exit or disposal activities. The statement is to be applied prospectively for such activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement will not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or consolidated financial position. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis may constitute forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are identified by words such as "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expects," "intend," "predict," or "project" and similar expressions. This information may involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions; aircraft and railcar lease rates and utilization levels; conditions in the capital markets and the potential for a downgrade in our credit rating, either of which could have an effect on our borrowing costs or our ability to access the markets for commercial paper or secured and 17 unsecured debt; dynamics affecting customers within the chemical, petroleum and food industries; unanticipated costs or issues arising from the Federal Railroad Administration's Railworthiness Directive HM-04 or subsequent regulatory rulings that impact the economic value of assets; competitors in the rail and air markets who may have access to capital at lower costs than GFC; additional potential write-downs and/or provisions within GFC's portfolio; impaired asset charges; and general market conditions in the rail, air, technology, venture, and other large-ticket leasing markets. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES GFC management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this quarterly report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date the CEO and CFO completed their evaluation. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS GFC and its subsidiaries are engaged in various matters of litigation and have a number of unresolved claims pending, including proceedings under governmental laws and regulations related to environmental matters. While the amounts claimed are substantial and the ultimate liability with respect to such litigation and claims cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that amounts, if any, required to be paid by GFC and its subsidiaries in the discharge of such liabilities are not likely to be material to GFC's consolidated financial position or results of operations. 18 ITEM 6.
