Net Loss Applicable to Common Shareholders

     Diluted net loss applicable to common shareholders is based on the weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of stock options and Series B preferred stock, if any. Basic net loss applicable to common shareholders is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The lawsuit representingnumerator for basic net loss applicable to common shareholders is loss adjusted for dividends on the adverse jury verdictSeries B preferred stock in 2004 and net loss in 2003. The numerator for diluted net income loss applicable to common shareholders is net loss, adjusted for dividends on the Series B preferred stock in 2004. Employee stock options were antidilutive for all periods presented. The Series B preferred stock was resolved duringantidilutive for 2004 and therefore not considered in average shares outstanding in the three-month period ended June 30, 2003. This amount was paid in July 2003 and the balance of the restructuring reserve was reclassifieddiluted net loss applicable to the Company's litigation reserves. The restructuring reserves related to environmental liabilities were reclassified to the Company's environmental reserves.

In June 2002, the Company completed a secured credit agreement for $425 million. The agreement includes a $275 million 3-year revolving commitment and a $150 million 5-year term commitment. The agreement calls for quarterly payments of principal on the term debt in the amount of $375 thousand beginning September 30, 2002 through June 30, 2006 and quarterly payments of $36.0 million beginning on September 30, 2006 through the maturity date. Amounts borrowed under the revolving commitment bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% or Prime rate plus 0.25% (4.25% at September 30, 2003). Amounts borrowed under the term commitment bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% (4.45% at September 30, 2003). The Company's accounts receivable and inventory and a portion of its property, plant and equipment secure the agreement. During September 2003, the Company modified the terms of the debt covenants under the agreement to separate the Company's leasing and manufacturing operations for debt compliance purposes and paid off $25.0 million of the 5-year term commitment. The agreement limits the amount of capital expenditures related to the Company's leasing business, requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for both the leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, asset coverage and minimum net worth, and restricts the amount of dividend payments. At September 30, 2003, 11 $143.1 million was borrowed under this agreement. At September 30, 2003, the most restrictive of the debt covenants based on trailing twelve month calculations as defined by the debt agreements allows for approximately $65.4 million additional principal and approximately $6.8 million and $9.0 million additional annual interest expense for leasing and manufacturing operations, respectively. In June 2002 Trinity Industries Leasing Company ("TILC") through a newly formed, wholly owned and consolidated business trust entered into a $200 million non-recourse warehouse facility to finance or refinance railcars acquired or owned by TILC. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 75% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% (2.495% at September 30, 2003). In August 2003, TILC expanded this facility to $300 million and extended the term through August 2004. At September 30, 2003, $80.6 million was available under this facility. The Company is currently in discussions with long-term lenders to provide permanent financing for the amount currently outstanding under the facility, which is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2003. Terms and conditions of other debt are described in the Annual Report. The remaining principal payments under the debt agreements as of September 30, 2003 are as follows: the remaining three months of 2003 - $2.5;March 31, 2004 - $6.7; 2005 - $203.8; 2006 - $154.2; 2007 - $90.6; and $79.9 thereafter. NOTE 8. SALE/LEASEBACK FINANCING During the nine months ended December 31, 2001, the Company completed a lease arrangement for $199.0 million in railcars. Trinity sold the railcars to an independent trust. The trust financed the purchase of the railcars with $151.3 million in debt and $47.7 million in equity provided by large independent financial institutions. The equity investor in the trust has the risk of ownership of the assets in the trust except for the collateral pledged to support the operating lease. Trinity has made no guarantees with respect to amounts at risk. An independent trustee for the trust has the authority for the appointment of the railcar fleet manager. Trinity, through a newly formed, wholly owned qualified subsidiary, leased railcars from the trust and subleased the railcars to independent third party customers. This subsidiary had a net worth as of September 30, 2003 of $ 47.3 including cash of $22.8 million, of which $6.5 million was collateral for the equity investor, and company-owned railcars of $23.1 million. The cash (other than the $6.5 million) and railcars are pledged to secure the lease obligation to the trust and are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Trinity does not guarantee the performance of the subsidiary's lease obligation. Under the terms of the operating lease agreement, Trinity has the option to purchase the railcars from the trust in 2017 at a predetermined, fixed price. Trinity also has an option to purchase the railcars at the end of the lease agreement in 2023 at the then fair market value of the railcars as determined by a third party, independent appraisal. At the expiration of the operating lease agreement, Trinity has no further obligation thereunder. Trinity, under the terms of a servicing and remarketing agreement, will endeavor, consistent with customary commercial practice as would be used by a prudent person, to maintain railcars under lease for the benefit of the trust. Trinity also receives management fees under the terms of the agreement. Certain ratios must be maintained by the subsidiary in order for excess cash flow, as defined, from the lease to third parties, to be available to Trinity. The sale of the railcars by Trinity to the trust was accounted for as a sale/leaseback transaction. No revenue or profit was recorded at the time of the transaction and all profit was deferred and is being amortized over the term of the operating lease. Neither the assets, the liabilities, nor equity of the trust are reflected on the balance sheet of Trinity. NOTE 9. DEPOSIT AGREEMENT(in millions).

Note 4. Deposit Agreement

     The Company has a deposit agreement with Altos Hornos de Mexico, SA de C.V. ("AHMSA"(“AHMSA”) that provides for funds to be deposited with AHMSA that are then used along with other funds from the Company to purchase steel from AHMSA. As of September 30, 2003,March 31, 2004, total funds on deposit including interest due amounted to approximately $25.0$19.1 million. Since May 1999 AHMSA has been operating under a judicial declaration of suspension of payments, which under applicable Mexican law, allows companies in Mexico to (1) seek a debt restructuring agreement with their creditors in an orderly fashion; (2) continue their operations; and (3) avoid declaration of bankruptcy and liquidation of assets. The Company'sCompany’s understanding of Mexican law is that all funds on deposit are required to be returned to the Company regardless of whether the supplier is able to operate under the declaration of suspension of payments. Trinity reduced $3.5$5.0 million of this deposit through inventory purchases in the quarter ended September 30, 2003.March 31, 2004. The timing of future reductions of the deposit balance will depend on the rate of future steel purchases. 12 NOTE 10. SERIES B REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

     In June 2003March 2004, the Company issued, 600 sharesthrough a private offering, $300 million aggregate principal amount 6 1/2% senior notes (Senior Notes) due 2014. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semiannually commencing September 15, 2004. The Senior Notes rank equally with all of Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B preferred stock). Each sharethe Company’s existing and future senior debt and are subordinated to all the Company’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of Series B preferred stock has an initial liquidationthe value of $100,000 per share.the assets securing such debt. The liquidation value,Company may redeem some or all of the Senior Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2009 at a redemption price of 103.25% in 2009, 102.167% in 2010, 101.083% in 2011 and 100.0% in 2012 and thereafter plus accrued butinterest. The Company may also redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes using the proceeds from certain public equity offerings completed on or before March 15, 2007 at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid dividends, is payable on June 25, 2008,interest. The Senior Notes could restrict the mandatory redemption date,Company’s ability to incur additional debt, make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments, sell assets, create certain liens and merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. The Company applied approximately $163 million of the net proceeds of the offering to repay all indebtedness under its existing bank credit facility.

     In connection with the issuance of the Senior Notes, the Company extended its secured credit agreement to provide for a three-year, $250 million revolving credit facility. Amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2004 bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%. Amounts borrowed under the optionrevolving credit facility for periods after the first quarter of 2004 will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin based upon financial performance. The Company’s accounts receivable and inventory secure the agreement. The agreement limits the amount of capital expenditures related to the Company’s leasing business, requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for the leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, asset coverage and minimum net worth, and restricts the amount of dividend payments based upon the current credit rating of the Company not to exceed $25 million annually. At March 31, 2004, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

     Trinity Industries Leasing Company (“TILC”) through a wholly owned and consolidated business trust has a $300 million non-recourse warehouse facility to finance or refinance railcars acquired or owned by TILC. While the warehouse facility is due August 2004 and unless renewed would be payable in cash orthree equal installments in shares of common stock valued at 90%February 2005, August 2005, and February 2006, railcars financed by the warehouse facility have historically been refinanced under long-term financing agreements. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 75% of the then current market price of the Company's common stock. Each share of Series B preferred stock may be converted at any time at the option of the holder into shares of the Company's common stock, based on the initial conversion price of $22.46 per share, which is equivalent to 4,452 shares of common stock for each $100,000 initial liquidation preference. Holders of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends payable semi-annually, on July 1 and January 1 of each year, beginning January 1, 2004 at an annual rate of 4.5% of the liquidation preference. The Company may, at its option, pay dividends either in cash or in shares of the Company's common stock at the then current market price. The holders of shares of Series B preferred stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the common stock on an as-if converted basis on all matters brought before the stockholders. The Series B preferred stock has been classified outside the Stockholders' Equity section because there is not absolute assurance that the number of authorized and unissued common shares would be adequate to redeem the Series B preferred stock. At September 30, 2003, the number of shares authorized and unissued would be adequate to redeem the Series B preferred stock as long as thefair market value of the Company's common stockeligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% (2.475% at March 31, 2004). At March 31, 2004, $191.4 million was at least $1.37 per share. NOTE 11. OTHER, NETavailable under this facility.

     As of December 31, 2003, the Leasing Group has an equity ownership in a trust formed to finance the purchase of railcars. This trust was capitalized with $9.5 million from the Leasing Group and outside debt of $25.6 million. Because this trust is a

10


variable interest entity for which the equity investor is the primary beneficiary, the financial statements of the trust were consolidated with the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year end December 31, 2003. In February 2004, the Leasing Group sold its equity ownership in the trust to a third party. Consequently, the trust, including the non-recourse debt of $25.6 million, is no longer consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

     Terms and conditions of other debt are described in the Annual Report.

     The Company had no contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Total contributions to the Company’s pension plan in 2004 are currently expected to be approximately $17.5 million.

Note 10. Contingencies

     In March 2004, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Marine Products, Inc. ("TMP"(“TMP”), settled a lawsuit filed by Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. (“FMT”) related to twenty-eight tank barges owned and/or operated by FMT. The settlement involves, among other elements, a joint monitoring of the barge coatings and void compartment maintenance procedures, and a mutual release of all claims against one another.

     The Company and TMP, and certain material suppliers and others, have beenare named as co-defendants in sixfour separate lawsuits filed by multiple plaintiffs on various dates. In October 2003 one of these six cases was dismissed as a result of a settlement between the Company and TMP and ACF Barge Acceptance I, LLC ("ACF"). The settlement involved the purchase of eleven barges which are leased to a barge operator under long-term lease agreements. The Company's Leasing Subsidiary purchased the barges for $19.1 million and succeeded ACF as lessor. The estimated fair value of the operating leases and residual value of the barges approximated the purchase price. In one of the remaining fivefour cases the plaintiff has petitioned the court for certification of a class which, if certified by the court, could potentially increase the total number of barges involved in the five cases. Absent certification of a class in that case, the remaining five separatecase. Such four suits involve 3730 tank barges sold at an average pricesprice of approximately $1.4 million, and 140 hopper barges sold at an average price of approximately $280,000. EachAll four cases allege similar causes of the five remaining cases set forth allegations pertainingaction related to damages arising from alleged defects in coating materials supplied by a co-defendant and coatings application workmanship by TMP. The plaintiffs seek both compensatory and punitive damages and/or recision of the barge purchase contracts. Independent experts investigating the claims on behalf of the Company and TMP have expressed the opinion that technical arguments presented by the plaintiffs in this litigation are without merit. The Company and TMP are defending these cases vigorously. As of September 30, 2003, twoMarch 31, 2004, one of the plaintiffs oweowes TMP approximately $11.4$8.7 million of which $7.9 million is past due, related to contracts for barges not involved in the litigation. TMP has filed suit for collection of the past due amount.

     In a proceeding unrelated to the foregoing litigation, the Company and TMP filed a declaratory judgment, an action seeking declaration by the Court of the Company’s and TMP’s (i) obligations related to allegations of certain barge owners as to exterior coatings and coatings application on 65 tank barges and (ii) rights and remedies relative to an insurance policy in which TMP was named as an additional insured and which was applicable to the coatings on the 65 barges. On December 9, 2003, the

12


barge owners filed a response proceeding to the declaratory judgment claiming actual damages of $6.5 million and punitive damages of $10 million.

     A subsidiary of the Company, Transit Mix Concrete and Materials Company, Inc. ("Transit Mix"), was named as a defendant in a case involving the death of an employee of an independent contractor who died following an accident that occurred while the decedent was working at a Company owned facility. Following a jury verdict in the favor of the plaintiff, the presiding judge entered a final judgment in the amount of $33.9 million (inclusive of fees, costs, and judgment interest). This case has been appealed by Transit Mix 13 and its insurers. Management believes liability in this case, if any, exceeding $3.0 million, will be covered by insurance.

     The Company is also involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. Based on information currently available, it is management'smanagement’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s overall financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs.

     The Company is subject to federal, state, local, and foreign laws and regulations relating to the environment and to the workplace. The Company believes that it is currently in substantial compliance with such laws and regulations.

     The Company is involved in various proceedings relating to environmental matters. The Company has provided reserves amounting to $19.3$13.4 million to cover probable and estimable liabilities of the Company with respect to such investigations and cleanup activities, taking into account currently available information and the Company'sCompany’s contractual rights of indemnification. However, estimates of future response costs are necessarily imprecise. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not become involved in future litigation or other proceedings or, if the Company were found to be responsible or liable in any litigation or proceeding, that such costs would not be material to the Company.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of stock optionsFinancial Condition and Series B preferred stock. Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average numberResults of common shares outstanding for the period. The numerator for basic net income (loss) per common share is net income (loss) adjusted for dividends on the Series B preferred stock in 2003 and net income (loss) in 2002. The numerator for diluted net income (loss) per common share is net income (loss), adjusted for dividends on the Series B preferred stock in 2003. The difference between the denominator in the basic calculation and the denominator in the diluted calculation for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 was attributable to the effect of employee stock options. Employee stock options were antidilutive for all other periods presented. The Series B preferred stock was antidilutive for all periods presented and therefore not considered in the diluted net income (loss) per common share calculation. NOTE 14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS During January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities" (FIN 46). The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and apply to existing variable interest entities in the first fiscal year or interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB agreed to a broad-based deferral of the effective date for public companies until the end of the periods ending after December 15, 2003. Until now, one company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company is not the primary beneficiary for any variable interest entities. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that a company classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first period beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of this statement did not have an impact on the Company's statement of financial position. 14 ITEM 2.

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this document. THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,

Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 -- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — Results of Operations

     Our consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $10.8 million compared to a net loss of $14.5 million for the same period last year. Net loss applicable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $ 11.6 million ($0.25 loss per diluted share) as compared to $14.5 million ($0.32 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The difference between net loss and net loss applicable to common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is the $0.8 million in accrued dividends and accreted discount costs on the Series B preferred stock.

Revenues.Revenues were $363.4$454.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003March 31, 2004 compared to $387.6$289.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002.March 31, 2003. The decrease in revenuesincrease was primarily due to lower demanda significant increase in outside sales by the Rail Group. The increase in revenues for Highway Safetythe Construction Products Group is the result of favorable weather conditions and Fittings products, reduced productionacquisitions during the later part of 2003. The increased revenue from the Railcar Leasing and Management Services Group is a result of an increase in the Structural Bridge Group, and reduced Hopper Barge volume, offset by increased railcar sales to third parties and leasing revenues due to the growthsize of the lease fleet.fleet as well as an increase in utilization.

     Operating loss decreased $3.6$4.9 million to $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2003. This improvement is primarily the result of improved efficiencies due to increased volumes and an increase in our leasing fleet size and utilization, partially offset by losses on sales contracts resulting from increases in the price of steel and other raw materials with steel content.

Other Income and Expenses.Other income and expense included interest income, interest expense and other, net. Interest

expense increased $0.6 million to $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003March 31, 2004 compared to $13.7$9.5 million for the same period in 2002. The decline in operating profit was due to reduced volumes and competitive pricing pressures offset by improved efficiencies from2003, an increase of 6.3%. The increase was primarily attributable to the write-off of deferred loans fees of $1.2 million in railcar sales and lease operations. Duringconnection with early retirement of the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company signedterm loan in March of 2004.

     Other, net was a managed services contract to implement a new financial system and to outsource certain accounting and processing activities. While expected to produce overall savings in future years, this project is expected to result in incremental selling, engineering, and administrative costs in 2003loss of approximately $9.6$0.1 million or $0.15 cents per share. During the quarter ended September 30, 2003 these incremental costs were approximately $2.8 million or $0.04 per share. Interestof expense decreased $0.7 million to $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $9.1 million for the same period in 2002, a decrease of 7.7%. The decrease was primarily attributable to replacing higher cost term commitment debt with lower cost warehouse debt offset by higher average debt levels. Other, net was $0.2 million of income for the three months ended September 30, 2003March 31, 2004 compared to income of $3.4$0.8 million for the comparable period in 2002.2003. The decrease was primarily due to a smaller amount of gains on salesales of property, plant, and equipment and an increase in foreign currency losses in 2003. 2004.

Income Taxes.The current year effective tax rate of 30.2%34.75% was less than the statutory rate of 35% due to the absence ofhigher foreign income which is at lower effective tax benefits on certain foreign losses. Net income forrates.

The decrease in revenues was due to a reduction in demand for hopper barges, Highway Safety products and certain LPG markets in Mexico as well as a reduction in rail car sales to third parties, offset by an increase in railcar sales from the lease fleet and increased leasing revenues due to growth in the lease fleet. The following table reconciles the revenue amounts discussedrepay all indebtedness under each segmentits existing bank credit facility.

Operating profit was $9.1 million forexisting term loan facility. Amounts borrowed under the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and $12.7 million for the same period in 2002. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, operating profit was impacted by the decrease in revenues as described above for the period, competitive pricing pressures, the implementation of a new financial system, and the impact of under-absorbed overhead costs. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company signed a managed services contract to implement a new financial system and to outsource certain accounting and processing activities. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 these incremental costs were approximately $8.0 million or $0.12 per share. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million to $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to $26.4 million for the same period in 2002. This decrease was due to higher average debt levels and higher interest ratesrevolving credit facility during the nine-month period, offset by the charge of $1.3 million to write off debt issuance costs in the prior year. Other, net was income of $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to income of $2.0 million for the comparable period in 2002. The income in 2003 was primarily due to a larger amount of gains on sale of property, plant, and equipment and smaller foreign currency losses in 2003. The current year effective tax rate of 30.2% was less than the statutory rate of 35% due to the absence of tax benefits on certain foreign losses. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $9.2 million compared to a net loss of $8.1 million for the same period in 2002. Net loss applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $10.0 million or $0.22 per diluted share compared to $8.1 million or $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period in 2002. The difference between net loss and net loss applicable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is the $0.8 million in accrued dividends and accreted offering costs on the Series B preferred stock. 18 TRINITY RAIL GROUP

Railcars shipped in North America increased 60.4% to approximately 5,400 cars during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The increase in revenues was due to an increase in cars sold as well as an increase in the components business, offset by a change in product mix and fewer high-revenue specialty cars in early 2003. Revenues for the European operations were $104.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, a 14.8% decrease from the same period last year. Railcars shipped in Europe remained constant at approximately 1,600 cars during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

The operating loss for the Trinity Rail Group decreased $17.6 million to a loss of $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period last year. The operating margins for all of Trinity Rail Group improved primarily due to improved efficiencies from increased volumes in North America. As of September 30, 2003, overall backlog increased 95% to approximately 13,500 cars from the same period last year. The North American backlog increased 139% to approximately 11,500 cars and European backlog decreased 5% to approximately 2,000 cars from the same period in 2002.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities.Net cash required by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2003March 31, 2004 was $71.7 million compared to the same period in 2002. This was primarily due to a decrease in hopper barge volume as a result of the downturn in the hopper barge market. Operating profit decreased $3.8$87.6 million to $0.5 million for the current nine-month period. This change was primarily due to the decline in the hopper barge volumes and increased barge litigation costs. Barge litigation costs were $2.5 and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS GROUP

Revenues declined 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002. The decline in revenues was primarily due to the sale of a specialty heads product line in the United States during 2002 and a decline in LPG related sales. Overall, the increase in operating profit was primarily due to the establishment of a $2.2 million allowance for bad debt in the prior year as well as an improvement in margins in the US LPG business, partially offset by a decline in LPG related sales in Mexico.

Revenues increased $31.0 million to $112.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. This increase was primarily due to railcar sales and an increase in rental revenues due to growth in the lease fleet. Included in the results of this group are revenues from the sale of railcars from the lease fleet of $26.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and $1.7 million in the same period in 2002. Operating profit increased $9.1 million to $30.5 million in the current nine-month period. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the size of the rental fleet, improved utilization, as well as a decrease in lost revenues due to maintenance related downtime. Operating profits on the sale of railcars from the lease fleet, including recognition of deferred manufacturing profit, were $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and $0.3 million for the same period in 2002. ALL OTHER Revenues in All Other decreased primarily due to a decline in the structural tower business. Operating loss remained constant at $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002. The decrease in the operating loss was primarily due to the sale of inventory in the structural tower business offset by costs associated with the non-operating plants. 20 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Netnet cash provided by operating activities for the ninesame period in 2003.

During the first quarter of 2004, we issued, through a newly formed, wholly owned business trust, entered into a $200 million non-recourse warehouse facility to finance railcars owned by TILC. Specific railcars and the underlying leases secure the facility. Advances under the facility may not exceed 75% of the fair market value of the eligible railcars securing the facility as defined by the agreement. Advances under the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.375% (2.495% at September 30, 2003). In August 2003, TILC expanded this facility toprivate offering, $300 million and extended the term through August 2004. At September 30, 2003, $80.6 million was available under this facility. The Company is currently in discussions with long-term lenders to provide permanent financing for theaggregate principal amount currently outstanding under the facility, which is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2003. In June 2002, the Company completed a secured credit agreement for $425 million. The agreement includes a $275 million 3-year revolving commitment and a $150 million 5-year term commitment. The agreement calls for quarterly payments of principal on the term debt in the amount of $375 thousand beginning September 30, 2002 through June 30, 2006 and quarterly payments of $36.0 million beginning on September 30, 2006 through the maturity date.

The agreement limits the amount of capital expenditures related to the Company's leasing business, requires maintenance of ratios related to interest coverage for both the leasing and manufacturing operations, leverage, asset coverage and minimum net worth, and restricts the amount of dividend payments. At September 30, 2003, $143.1 million was borrowed under this agreement.

     As of September 30, 2003March 31, 2004 other commercial commitments related to letters of credit have decreasedincreased to $99.8$118.2 million from $110.2$116.4 million as of December 31, 2002.2003. Refer to Note 6 in the financial statements for changes to our outstanding debt and maturities. Other commercial commitments that relate to operating leases under sales/leaseback transactions were basically unchanged. 21 RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS During January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46). The consolidation requirements of FIN 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and apply to existing variable interest entities in the first fiscal year or interim periods beginning after June 15, 2003. In October 2003, the FASB agreed to a broad-based deferral of the effective date for public companies until the end of periods ending after December 15, 2003. Until now, one company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. A company that consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of that entity. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The Company has no variable interest entities in which it is the primary beneficiary. In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity" (SFAS 150). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that a company classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances) because that financial instrument embodies an obligation of the issuer. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first period beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of this statement did not have an impact on the Company's statement of financial position. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

PART II ITEM

Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TheLegal Proceedings

     On March 15, 2004, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Trinity Marine Products, Inc. ("TMP"(“TMP”), settled its claims in a case filed by Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. (“FMT”) related to twenty-eight tank barges owned and/or operated by FMT. The settlement involves, among other elements, a joint monitoring of the barge coatings and void compartment maintenance procedures, and a mutual release of all claims against one another.

     The Company and TMP, and certain material suppliers and others, have beenare named as co-defendants in sixfour separate lawsuits filed by Florida Marine Transporters, Inc. ("FMT") on May 15, 2002, J. Russell Flowers, Inc. ("Flowers"(“Flowers”) on October 7, 2002, ACF Barge Acceptance I, LLC ("ACF") on December 4, 2002, Marquette Transportation Company and Iowa Fleeting Services, Inc. ("Marquette"(“Marquette”) on March 7, 2003, Waxler Transportation Company, Inc. ("Waxler"(“Waxler”) on April 7, 2003 and LeBeouf Bros. Towing ("LeBeouf"(“LeBeouf”) on July 3, 2003. The FMT, Marquette Waxler, and LeBeoufWaxler cases are pending in the 25th Judicial District Court in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, and the Flowers case is pending in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Mississippi in Greenville, Mississippi. On October 8, 2003, oneMississippi, and the LeBeouf case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of the six cases was dismissed as a result of a settlement between the Company and TMP and ACF. The settlement involved the purchase of eleven barges which are leased to a barge operator under long-term lease agreements. The Company's Leasing subsidiary purchased the barges for $ 19.1 million and succeeded ACF as lessor. The estimated fair value of the operating leases and residual value of the barges approximated the purchase price.Louisiana. In the Waxler case, the plaintiff has petitioned the court for certification of a class which if certified by the courts, could potentially increase the total number of barges involved in the litigation. Absent certification of a class in the Waxler case, these remaining five separatethe Waxler and LeBeouf suits currently involve 3730 tank barges sold at an approximate average price of $1.4 million and the Marquette and Flowers suits involve 140 hopper barges sold at an approximate average price of $280,000. Each of the four cases set forth allegations pertaining to damages arising from alleged defects in coating materials supplied by a co-defendant and coatings application workmanship by TMP. The plaintiffs seek both compensatory and punitive damages and/or recision of the barge purchase contracts. Independent experts investigating the claims on behalf of the Company and TMP have expressed the opinion that technical arguments presented by the plaintiffs in the litigation are without merit. As of September 30, 2003, twoMarch 31, 2004, one of the fivefour plaintiffs oweowes TMP approximately $11.4$8.7 million of which $7.9 million is past due, related to contracts for barges not involved in the litigation. TMP has filed suit for collection of the past due amounts.

     In a proceeding unrelated to the foregoing litigation, the Company and TMP filed a declaratory judgment, an action seeking declaration by the Court, of the Company’s and TMP’s (i) obligations related to allegations of certain barge owners as to exterior coatings and coatings application on 65 tank barges and (ii) rights and remedies relative to an insurance policy in which TMP was named as an additional insured and which was applicable to the coatings on the 65 barges. On December 9, 2003, the barge owners filed a response proceeding to the declaratory judgment claiming actual damages of $6.5 million and punitive damages of $10 million.

     A subsidiary of the Company, Transit Mix Concrete and Materials Company, Inc. ("Transit Mix"), was named as a defendant in a case involving the death of an employee of an independent contractor who died following an accident that occurred while the decedent was working at a Company owned facility. Following a jury verdict in the favor of the plaintiff, the presiding judge entered a final judgment in the amount of $33.9 million (inclusive of fees, costs, and judgment interest). This case has been appealed by Transit Mix and its insurers. Management believes liability in this case, if any, exceeding $3.0 million, will be covered by insurance. As previously reported, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Trinity Marine Baton Rouge, Inc. ("TMBR") was named in a two-count felony indictment charging TMBR with transporting hazardous waste without a proper manifest to a non-permitted facility 23 in violation of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Following four (4) years of investigation, on September 17, 2003 the United States government voluntarily dismissed all charges against TMBR and no further enforcement will take place in this matter.

     The Company is also involved in other claims and lawsuits incidental to its business. Based on information currently available, it is management'smanagement’s opinion that the ultimate outcome of all current litigation and other claims, including settlements, in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s overall financial condition for purposes of financial reporting. However, resolution of certain claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have a significant impact on the operating results of the reporting period in which such resolution occurs. ITEM
