  C.   Before we get started, let me remind you that:

“Today’s conference call contains forward looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes statements as to expectations, intentions and predictions of future financial performance. Statements that are not historical facts are forward looking. Participants are directed to Trinity’s Form 10-K and other SEC filings for a description of certain of the business issues and risks, a change in any of which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements.

  D.   Now let me address our current debt position

At June 30, our borrowings at the corporate level were the 300 million dollars of senior notes and 8.7 million dollars of other indebtedness. The Leasing Company’s debt included the 130.1 million dollars of Equipment Trust Certificates and 167.5 million dollars outstanding under our 300 million dollar railcar leasing warehouse facility, which matures in August of this year. We are currently working to renew this warehouse facility and expect it to be renewed.

At June 30, our debt to total capital ratio was 35.5 percent, up slightly from the comparable amount at December 31, 2004 principally due to lease fleet expansion.

At June 30, our cash position was 93.1 million dollars.

E. Now, here’s Tim Wallace
