INTERPOOL, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARIES Note 1 Nature of operations and accounting policies:A. Nature of operations:Interpool (the Company) and its subsidiaries conduct business principally in a single industry segment, the leasing of intermodal dry freight standard containers, chassis and other transportation related equipment. Within this single industry segment, the Company has two reportable segments: container leasing and domestic intermodal equipment. The container-leasing segment specializes in the leasing of intermodal dry freight standard containers, while the domestic intermodal equipment segment specializes in the leasing of intermodal container chassis and freight rail cars. The Company leases its containers principally to international container shipping lines located throughout the world. The customers for the Companys chassis are a large number of domestic companies, many of which are domestic subsidiaries or branches of international shipping lines, as well as major U.S. railroads. Equipment is purchased directly or acquired through conditional sales contracts and lease agreements, many of which qualify as capital leases. The Companys container leasing operations are conducted through our subsidiary, Interpool Limited, a Barbados corporation. Profits of Interpool Limited from container leasing operations are exempt from federal taxation in the United States. These profits are subject to Barbados tax at rates which are substantially lower than the applicable rates in the United States. The Company had formerly operated in a third reportable segment, computer equipment leasing. The Company operated in this segment through two majority owned subsidiaries, Microtech Leasing Corporation (Microtech) and Personal Computer Rentals (PCR). During the third quarter of 2001, Company management, having the authority to do so, adopted a formal plan to exit this segment through the sale of PCR and liquidation of Microtech. See Note 3 for further information regarding the sale of PCR and discontinued operations of the computer-leasing segment. Beginning June 27, 2002, the Companys consolidated financial statements include Container Applications International, Inc. (CAI), which was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company owns a 50% common equity interest in CAI. See Note 2 for further information regarding CAI. B. Basis of consolidation and preparation:The Companys accounting records are maintained in United States dollars and the consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and subsidiaries more than 50% owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Companys latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. These consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments including intercompany eliminations) necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. C. Net income per share:Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period (which is net of treasury shares). Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of stock options has been added to the weighted shares outstanding in the diluted earnings per share computation. 8 |

(1) Issuable under stock option plans. |
D. Leasing Equipment:Depreciation and amortization of leasing equipment (both equipment on-lease to customers and available for hire) are provided under the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful lives: |
Dry freight standard containers | 12.5 years | |
Chassis | 17.5 to 22.5 years | |
Other | 3 to 25 years |
In connection with the acquisition of Transamericas chassis fleet in October 2000, the Company obtained third party valuations of its chassis assets. Each of these valuations concluded that a chassis useful life was between 20 and 25 years and that the chassis life could be extended to 45 years with a major refurbishment. The Company felt that a change to these lives would require an in depth analysis of its own fleet history. Effective October 1, 2000, the Company determined it would revise its estimate of the depreciation life of chassis to 17.5 years in order to establish the same life for all chassis whether initially purchased by the Company or by Transamerica. These assets had been previously depreciated over periods that ranged between 15 and 20 years. The effect of this change was to reduce depreciation expense by $955 and $1,900 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. In March 2002, the Company completed a $500,000 chassis securitization facility. At that time, additional valuations were performed on the chassis fleet, which reached the same conclusion as the original valuations regarding the equipments estimated useful life. These conclusions were confirmed for the majority of the Companys equipment after an in depth review of the Companys chassis fleet. As a result, effective April 1, 2002, the Company has revised its estimate of the useful life of certain of its chassis from 17.5 years to 22.5 years. The effect of this change was to decrease depreciation expense by $2,345 for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The valuations determined that no change was required to the residual value of the Companys chassis. CAI, the Companys 50% subsidiary, had an independent valuation performed on its container fleet to determine the useful life of the containers as well as their estimated residual value. As a result, effective April 1, 2002, the Company has set the useful life for all of its containers to 12.5 years (previously 12.5 to 15 years) and has changed its residual values to the estimated market value of the containers as determined by the appraisal. The effect of this change for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was to decrease depreciation expense of the Company by $157 and to increase depreciation expense of CAI by $655, which resulted in an increase in the Companys loss from CAI by $313 for the period from April 1, 2002 through June 27, 2002. 9 |
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) E. Adoption of New Accounting Standard:Prior to the adoption of Statement 133, interest differentials paid or received under swap contracts were recognized as yield adjustments to the effective yield of the underlying debt instruments hedged. Interest rate swap contracts would only be recognized at fair value if the hedged relationship is terminated. Gains or losses accumulated prior to termination of the relationship would be amortized as a yield adjustment over the shorter of the remaining life of the contract, or the remaining period to maturity of the underlying debt instrument hedged. If the contract remained outstanding after termination of the hedged relationship, subsequent changes in market value of the contract would be recognized in earnings. The Company does not use leveraged swaps and does not use leverage in any of its investment activities that would put principal capital at risk. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133. In June 2000, the FASB issued Statement 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. Statement 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative instruments fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative instruments gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, to the extent effective, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Statement 133. Statement 133, in part, allows special hedge accounting for fair value and cash flow hedges. Statement 133 provides that the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a fair value hedging instrument as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk be recognized currently in earnings in the same accounting period. Statement 133 provides that the effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and be reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. (The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, must be recognized currently in earnings.) As of December 31, 2000, the Company had entered into 13 interest rate swap agreements with various financial institutions. The aggregate notional balance of the swaps was $389,500 as of December 31, 2000. These agreements are used by the Company to manage interest rate risks created by loans indexed to a floating rate index, primarily LIBOR, and contractually terminate at various dates between 2001 and 2007. Under previous generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP), the interest differential payable or receivable by the Company on its interest rate swaps was accrued by the Company as interest rates changed, and was recognized by the Company over the life of the swap agreement. In contrast Statement 133 requires that changes in the fair value of the swap agreements which are designated as effective cash flow hedges, be reported as a component of other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the swap agreements that do not qualify for hedge accounting to be reported in earnings. The Company has determined that of the 13 interest rate swap agreements held, 10 qualify under Statement 133 as effective cash flow hedges with no ineffectiveness, while the remaining 3 interest rate swap agreements intended as cash flow hedges do not quality for hedge accounting treatment. The adoption of Statement 133 on January 1, 2001 increased liabilities by approximately $9,012, with offsetting amounts recorded as decreases to deferred tax liabilities of $2,435 and accumulated other comprehensive income of $7,411 and an increase to earnings (net of tax) of $833. See Note 10 for further information regarding the Companys accounting for the swap agreements under Statement 133. On June 29, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board approved its proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 142 applies to all acquired intangible assets whether acquired singly, as part of a group, or in a business combination. This statement supersedes Accounting Principals Board, or APB, Opinion No. 17, Intangible Assets, and will incorporate provisions in APB Opinion No 17 related to internally developed intangible assets. Adoption of Statement 142 also requires that companies cease amortizing goodwill. During the six and three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded amortization expense related to its goodwill of $378 and $189, respectively, which is included in other income, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement 142. The adoption of this statement did not result in an adjustment to recorded goodwill. Total goodwill recorded by the Company is approximately $9,625 related to CAI and certain other investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting. 10 |
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Goodwill amortization amounted to $727, $755 and $717 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) approved its proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets. Statement 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This Statement supersedes FASB Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). This Statement also amends ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to eliminate the exception to consolidation for a subsidiary for which control is likely to be temporary. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company evaluated the carrying value of its long-lived assets as prescribed by Statement 144. The adoption of this statement in the first quarter of 2002 did not result in an adjustment to the Companys consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, CAI recognized an impairment loss on certain containers including containers that were damaged and for units in its sale inventory. The loss was calculated by comparing the equipments net book value to the estimated realizable value of the equipment. The total impairment loss recorded by CAI was $5,428. The Companys 50% share of this loss of $2,714 has been recognized as a loss in the equity earnings of CAI for the period from April 1, 2002 through June 27, 2002. In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145. This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The statement is effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2003. If the Company were to have adopted the provisions of the statement in the current quarter, extraordinary gains on the retirement of certain debt of $19 and $257 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, would have been reclassified into operating income and recorded on a pre-tax basis. Such reclassification would not impact any financial covenants the Company has in place with any of its lenders. In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS No. 146). SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when the liability is incurred. Existing generally accepted accounting principles provide for the recognition of such costs at the date of managements commitment to an exit plan. In addition, SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability be measured at fair value and be adjusted for changes in estimated cash flows. The provisions of the new standard are effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. It is not expected that SFAS No. 146 will materially affect the Companys consolidated financial statements. F.

G. Reclassifications:Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 amounts in order to conform to the 2002 presentation. Note 2 Relationship with CAI:The Company holds a 50% common equity interest in CAI, which it acquired in April 1998. CAI owns and leases its own fleet of containers and manages, for a fee, containers owned by the Company and third parties. The Company entered into its operating relationship with CAI primarily to facilitate the rental in the short-term market of containers coming off long-term lease, to gain access to new companies looking to lease containers on a long term basis and to realize cost efficiencies from the operation of a coordinated container lease marketing group. The marketing group, which is organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is responsible for soliciting container lease business for both the Company and CAI, including long-term and direct finance lease business and short-term lease business on master lease agreements. All long-term and direct finance lease business is purchased by the Company, except that the Company offers to CAI, at cost, 10% of this long-term and direct finance lease business. The 50% equity interest in CAI not held by the Company is owned by CAIs chief executive officer. Under the terms of a Shareholder Agreement entered into in 1998 between the Company and CAIs chief executive officer, if an initial public offering for the registration and sale of CAIs common stock has not been initiated before April 2003, CAIs chief executive officer has the right to have an independent valuation of CAI completed on an annual basis to determine the fair value of CAI. Following the completion of this appraisal, the Company has the right to make a written offer to acquire the chief executive officers equity for an amount equal to 50% of the fair value of CAI as indicated in the appraisal. If the offer is not extended by the Company within 30 days, CAIs chief executive officer has an additional 90 days to require CAI to take the necessary steps to effect an initial public offering to sell his equity. All costs associated with an initial public offering of CAI will be borne by CAI. In connection with the acquisition of its equity interest in CAI, the Company loaned CAI $33,650 under a Subordinated Note Agreement (Note), which is collateralized by all containers owned by CAI as of April 30, 1998 or thereafter acquired, subject to the priority security interest lien of CAIs senior credit facility, except for certain excluded collateral. Interest on the Note is calculated at an annual fixed rate of 10.5% payable quarterly. The original repayment terms required mandatory quarterly principal payments of $1,683 beginning July 30, 2003 through July 30, 2008. The Note was subject to certain financial covenants and was cross-defaulted with CAIs senior credit facility, subject to the terms of a subordination agreement. On June 27, 2002, CAI entered into an amended $125,000 senior revolving credit agreement with a group of financial institutions. To facilitate the closing of this new credit facility, the Company agreed to extend the repayment terms of its Note so as to require mandatory quarterly principal payments of $1,683 beginning July 30, 2006 through July 30, 2011 and modified certain financial covenants in the Note. Interest on the Note continues to accrue at an annual fixed rate of 10.5% and is payable quarterly. The Note continues to be cross-defaulted with CAIs senior credit agreement, subject to the terms of an amended and restated subordination agreement. At the same time, the Company was provided a majority position on CAIs board of directors. The Company has determined that as a result of these transactions and gaining a majority position on CAIs board, the Companys financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 must include CAI as a consolidated subsidiary commencing June 27, 2002. Previously, CAI was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Companys share of the equity earnings (losses) of CAI for the periods from January 1, 2002 and April 1, 2002 through June 27, 2002 have been recorded in Loss for Investments Accounted for Under the Equity Method in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the period from June 27 through June 30, 2002, CAIs results of operations have been included in the appropriate captions on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The assets and liabilities of CAI at June 30, 2002 have been included on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. A total of $104,450 was outstanding under CAIs senior revolving credit facility at June 30, 2002. Borrowings under CAIs senior credit facility are secured by substantially all CAIs assets and are payable on June 27, 2005. The senior credit facility contains various financial and other covenants. At June 30, 2002, CAI would not have been in compliance with one of the financial covenants then contained in its senior credit facility as well as similar covenants under two master lease agreements relating to equipment in CAIs fleet. CAI received amendments to these covenants in September 2002 which were made retroactive to June 30, 2002. As a result, CAI was in compliance as of June 30, 2002 with all revolving credit facility and lease covenants as amended. 12 |
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) The assets and liabilities of CAI reflected in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2002, after recording the effect of elimination entries with the Company, are as follows: |
Cash and short term investments | $ | 765 |
Accounts and notes receivable | 20,412 | |

Subsequent to June 27, 2002, revenues and expenses for transactions between the Company and CAI are eliminated in consolidation. Note 3 Discontinued Operations:During the three months ended September 30, 2001, the Company adopted a formal plan to dispose of PCR, a 51%-owned subsidiary, and to discontinue the operations of Microtech, a 75.5%-owned subsidiary, and liquidate its lease portfolio. Within the historical financial statements of the Company, PCR and Microtech comprised the computer-leasing segment and specialized in the leasing of microcomputers and related equipment. As a result of the decision made by the Company, PCR and Microtech were classified as discontinued operations. Pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto have been restated for all comparative periods presented to reflect the decision to discontinue the computer leasing segment. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of PCR and Microtech were accounted for as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On December 31, 2001, the Company completed the sale of its 51% ownership stake of PCR to an investment group comprised of the management of PCR. Under the agreement, the Company sold its share of PCR for $2,297. As payment for the transaction, the management of PCR transferred its 24.5% ownership in Microtech valued at $792 to the Company, thereby increasing the Companys ownership in Microtech to 100%. The purchase price of $3,200 was settled through the issuance of a non-recourse note issued by the investment group comprised of the management of PCR to the Company in the amount of $2,560 and a payment of $640 received by the Company on January 2, 2002. The original terms of the note are interest only at 5% through December 31, 2004 and an annual rate of 7.5% for the period from December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2010 (the maturity date). Monthly principal payments in equal installments of $35 commence on January 31, 2005 and continue through the maturity date. The Company recorded the note in the amount of $1,657, after discounting the note at 15%, which was its estimate of the market value of the note at that date. In addition, on April 6, 1999, the Company entered into a $3,500 long-term revolving credit facility with PCR. This revolving credit facility is due on demand and remains outstanding as of June 30, 2002. The line of credit bears interest at 12% per annum and is payable monthly. This line of credit is secured by substantially all of PCRs assets, subordinated to the interest of a financial institution which provided PCR an additional line of credit. Since 2000, the Company has guaranteed PCR debts due to parties other than the Company totaling $5,000, which remain in effect. 13 |
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) During the six months ended June 30, 2002, Microtech experienced $710 of losses primarily the result of additional bad debt reserves due to a weaker economic environment resulting in specific customer defaults. These losses, including an estimate for all future losses, were accrued at March 31, 2002. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the revenues applicable to the discontinued operations were $463 and $9,585, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the revenues applicable to the discontinued operations were $1,024 and $19,494, respectively. The assets and liabilities of discontinued operations, presented in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are primarily comprised of Cash, Accounts Receivable, Net Investment in Direct Financing Leases, Leasing Equipment, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Debt Obligations. Note 4 Chassis Holdings I LLC:On July 1, 2001, the Company restructured its relationship with The Ivy Group and its principals to provide the Company with managerial control over 6,047 chassis previously leased by Trac Lease, Inc. (Trac Lease), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, from The Ivy Group. As a result of the restructuring, the partners of The Ivy Group contributed these 6,047 chassis and certain other assets and liabilities to a newly formed subsidiary, Chassis Holdings I LLC (Chassis Holdings), in exchange for $26,000 face value of preferred membership units and 10% of the common membership units, and Trac Lease contributed 902 chassis and $2,407 in cash to Chassis Holdings in exchange for $3,000 face value of preferred membership units and 90% of the common membership units. The preferred membership units are entitled to receive a preferred return prior to the receipt of any distributions by the holders of the common membership units. The value of the contributed chassis was determined by taking the arithmetic average of the results of independent appraisals performed by three nationally recognized appraisal firms in connection with the Companys establishment of a chassis securitization facility in July 2000. As the managing member of Chassis Holdings, Trac Lease exercises sole managerial control over the entitys operations. Chassis Holdings leases all of its chassis to Trac Lease at a rental rate equal to the then current Trac Lease fleet average per diem. Chassis Holdings and the holders of the preferred membership units are party to a Put/Call Agreement which provides that the holders of preferred units may put such units to Chassis Holdings under certain circumstances and Chassis Holdings may redeem such units under certain circumstances. Chassis Holdings will be required to make certain option payments to the holders of the preferred membership units in order to preserve its right to redeem such units. The terms of all arrangements between Chassis Holdings and Trac Lease, including rental rates, are, in the opinion of our management, comparable to terms that we would have obtained in arms length transactions with unrelated third parties. The Ivy Group has entered into an agreement with us pursuant to which it has agreed not to engage in any business activities that are competitive with the business activities of Interpool or its subsidiaries without our prior written consent. Based on 90% common unit ownership held by Trac Lease, the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chassis Holding I LLC. The Ivy Groups interest in the common and preferred units of Chassis Holdings I LLC of approximately $26,326 is classified as minority interest in equity of subsidiaries in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, dividends paid on the common units and distributions on the preferred units owned by The Ivy Group, totaling $1,560, are included in lease operating and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Note 5 Cash flow information:For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 cash paid for interest was approximately $49,630 and $53,792, respectively. Cash paid for income taxes was approximately $1,292 and $1,180, respectively. 14 |
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Note 6 Leasing Activities:As lessee: The net book value of leasing equipment acquired through capital leases was $380,078 at June 30, 2002. The aggregate capital lease obligations, secured by equipment, with installments payable in varying amounts through 2011, were $335,282 at June 30, 2002.

Rental expense under operating leases aggregated $7,572 and $10,512 for the periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. As of June 30, 2002, the aggregate minimum rental commitment under operating leases having initial or remaining noncancellable lease terms in excess of one year was as follows: |

As lessor: The Company has entered into various leases of equipment that qualify as direct financing leases. At the inception of a direct finance lease, the Company records a net investment based on the gross investment (representing the total future minimum lease payments plus unguaranteed residual value), net of unearned lease income. The unguaranteed residual value is generally equal to the purchase option of the lessee, which in the case of the Companys lease contracts is insignificant and is included in total lease receivables. Unearned income represents the excess of gross investment over equipment cost. Receivables under these direct financing leases, net of unearned income, are collectible through 2011 as follows: |

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, the Company initiated a bankruptcy claim against a customer and sought to collect receivables and to recover equipment values through its insurance policies. The Company demanded the return of approximately $48,588 of equipment, including $8,482 of direct finance leases, which were reclassified to leasing equipment. At June 30, 2002, the outstanding receivables from this customer, including amounts for equipment the Company anticipates will not be recovered, totaled approximately $33,543, all of which is covered by insurance, or reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts. At this time, the Company has estimated no impairment upon the liquidation and/or re-lease of these assets after considering anticipated insurance proceeds. The maximum insurance coverage related to this claim is $35,000. The overall recovery of the asset values has been evaluated taking into consideration the equipment book value, the cost to recover and re-lease the equipment, and the total outstanding receivables, as well as the likelihood to collect through the recovery and sale of the equipment or the stipulated equipment values within the insurance policy. The Company continued to record revenue from these leases through August 20, 2001 at which time, revenue recognition was discontinued, as lease payments through August 20, 2001 were covered by the insurance policies. The Company will continue to assess the overall recovery of the asset values and adjust the assumptions used in evaluating the total insurance claim with respect to this customers bankruptcy. As additional information becomes available, reserves for the impairment of the asset values may be necessary based upon changes in economic conditions and the assumptions used in evaluating the total insurance claim. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Company recognized a recovery of $2,434 for the excess of amounts billable to the lease customer for unrecovered equipment over the Companys net book value of the equipment, which is expected to be recovered through insurance proceeds.

The Companys shipping line customers utilize international containers in world trade over many varied and changing trade routes. In addition, most large shipping lines have many offices in various countries involved in container operations. The Companys revenue from international containers is earned while the containers are used in service carrying cargo around the world, while certain other equipment is utilized in the United States. Accordingly, the information about the business of the Company by geographic area is derived from either international sources or from United States sources. Such presentation is consistent with industry practice. 17 |

Note 8 Other contingencies and commitments:At June 30, 2002, commitments for capital expenditures totaled approximately $34,800. Under certain of the Companys leasing agreements, the Company, as lessee, may be obligated to indemnify the lessor for loss, recapture or disallowance of certain tax benefits arising from the lessors ownership of the equipment. The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings from time to time incidental to the conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, the Company is adequately insured against the claims relating to such proceedings, and any ultimate liability arising out of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Note 9 Lease securitization program:On March 30, 1999, the Company entered into an asset backed note program (the ABN Program). The ABN Program involved the sale by the Company of direct finance leases (collateralized by intermodal containers) with a historical net book value of $228,832 (the Assets). The Assets were sold to a special purpose entity whose sole business activity is issuing asset backed notes (ABNs), supported by the future cash flows of the Assets and the underlying residuals. Proceeds received by the Company upon selling the Assets were $189,087 of cash and the lowest priority ABN issued in the ABN Program (the retained interest) with an allocated historical book value of $47,687. The Company classified the retained interest as an available for sale security, which is included in Other Investment Securities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the retained interest is accounted for at fair value, with any changes in fair value over its allocated historical book value recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, in the statement of changes in shareholders equity. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, the Company estimated the fair market value of the retained interest was $11,510 and $15,970, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded interest income on the retained interest totaling $963 and $1,942 which is included in revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded interest income on the retained interest totaling $419 and $964 which is included in revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, defaulted finance leases of bankrupt customers were removed from the securitization program resulting in a reduction of the retained interest totaling $331. Interpool Limited, a subsidiary of the Company (the Servicer), acts as servicer for the Assets. Pursuant to the terms of the servicing agreement, the Servicer is paid a fee of 0.40% of the assets under management. The Companys management has determined that the servicing fee paid approximates the fair value for services provided, as such, no servicing asset or liability has been recorded. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company received servicing fees totaling $260 and $219 which are included in revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company received servicing fees totaling $134 and $101 which are included in revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, cash flows received on the retained interest were $5,423 and $868, respectively. 18 |

Note 10 Gain on Sale of Land:In April 2002, the Company sold an industrial property and recorded a gain of $4,766, which is included in other (income)/expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. Note 11 Derivative instruments:The Companys assets are primarily fixed rate in nature while its debt instruments are primarily floating rate. The Company employs derivative financial instruments (interest rate swap agreements) to effectively convert certain floating rate debt instruments into fixed rate instruments and thereby manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets is a liability of $28,982 and $21,611, respectively, representing the market value of the Companys derivative instruments. The unrealized pre-tax losses on cash flow hedges for the six months ended June 30, 2002 of $5,366 have been reported in the Companys condensed consolidated balance sheet as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), along with related deferred income tax benefit of $2,692. Amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified into earnings upon termination of these interest rate swap agreements prior to their contractual maturity. The Company may at its discretion terminate or redesignate any such interest rate swap agreements prior to maturity. Any gains or losses on termination would be reclassified into income at that time. Pre-tax income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 resulting from the change in fair value of interest rate swap agreements held which do not quality as cash flow hedges under Statement 133 of $2,355 and $2,035, respectively have been recorded on the condensed consolidated statements of income as market value adjustment for derivative instruments. Interest rate swap agreements, which qualify as perfect cash flow hedges, have no ineffectiveness and therefore are not reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Pre-tax income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 resulting from interest rate swap agreements which qualify as cash flow hedges but are not perfectly correlated have associated ineffectiveness of $347 and $17, respectively which has been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income as market value adjustment for derivative instruments. Future ineffectiveness related to these interest rate swap agreements will continue to be recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income during the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2002, the Company holds 14 interest rate swap agreements with various financial institutions. The aggregate notional balance of the swaps was $778,525 as of June 30, 2002. 19 |

(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) The Company has a $215,000 revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks; on June 30, 2002, $150,000 was outstanding, with an interest rate of 7.61%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of June 30, 2002. In July 2000, this facility was renewed and amended with the term extended to July 31, 2005. The credit limit remains at $215,000 through July 31, 2003; thereafter the credit limit declines to $193,500 through July 31, 2004 and $172,000 through July 31, 2005. Subsequent to June 30, 2002 the Company has continued to incur and repay debt obligations in connection with financing its equipment leasing activities. Under its revolving credit facility and most of its other debt instruments, the Company is required to maintain a tangible net worth (as defined) of $125,000, a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1 and a funded debt to net worth ratio of 4.0 to 1. At June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these requirements. In March 2002, the Company established a $500,000 chassis asset-backed securitization facility. This facility is guaranteed by MBIA and was therefore rated AAA by Standard & Poors and Aaa by Moodys. The proceeds from this financing were used to repay debt related to a secured financing facility used to fund the acquisition of assets from Transamerica, to repay a previously established chassis securitization facility, to fund growth of our intermodal equipment fleet and for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2002, $487,335 of this facility was outstanding with an interest rate of 7.66%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of June 30, 2002. This facility is accounted for as on-balance sheet secured debt financing. The assets used to secure this facility are segregated in a Delaware statutory titling trust (the Trust) and in two special purpose entities (each of which is a separate legal entity) and amount to $17,729 of accounts receivable and fixed assets with a net book value of $506,091 at June 30, 2002. In addition, $24,195 of cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2002 are restricted for use by the Trust and the special purpose entities. The assets, which are segregated in the special purpose entities, are not available to pay the claims of the Companys creditors. In July 2001, the Companys container securitization facility, which was originally established as an off-balance sheet source of financing in March 1999, was amended allowing additional financings to be accounted for as on-balance sheet secured debt financing. In August 2002, the container securitization facility was extended to October 2005 with the maximum outstanding limited to $150,000. At June 30, 2002, $135,770 of the container securitization facility was utilized, of which $49,342 relates to off-balance sheet financing, while $86,428 relates to on-balance sheet financing and is included in debt and capital lease obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2002, the rate on this facility is 4.79%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of June 30, 2002. In July 2000, the Company established a chassis securitization facility of $280,000. In October 2000, this chassis securitization facility was increased to $300,000. At December 31, 2001, $277,410 of this facility was outstanding with an interest rate of 4.75%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of December 31, 2001. The Company repaid this facility in full in March 2002 with proceeds from our new chassis asset-backed securitization facility completed in March 2002. In October 2000, the Company established a secured financing facility in the amount of $300,000 to fund the TA transaction. At December 31, 2001, $97,656 of this facility was outstanding with an interest rate of 3.94%. The Company repaid this facility in full in March 2002 with proceeds from our new chassis asset-backed securitization facility completed in March 2002. In February 1998, the Company issued $100,000 principal amount of 6-5/8% Notes due 2003 (the "6-5/8% Notes). The net proceeds were used to repay $83,000 in borrowings under the revolving credit agreement and for other general corporate purposes. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company retired $17,000 of the 6-5/8% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain of $740 net of tax expense of $494. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company retired $8,200 of the 6-5/8% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain of $471 net of tax expense of $314. During the second and third quarters of 2001, the Company retired $27,174 of the 6-5/8% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain of $435 net of tax expense of $290. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company retired $5,205 of the 6 5/8% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain of $19 net of tax expense of $13. As of June 30, 2002, $42,421 principal amount of the 6-5/8% Notes remains outstanding. In July and August, 1997, the Company issued $225,000 of ten year notes, comprised of $150,000 of 7.35% Notes due 2007 and $75,000 of 7.20% Notes due 2007. The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay secured indebtedness, to purchase equipment and for other investments. During the first quarter of 2000, the Company retired $3,000 of the 7.35% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain of $369 net of tax expense of $246. During 2001, the Company retired $2,075 of the 7.20% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain of $123 net of tax expense of $82. As of June 30, 2002, $72,925 and $147,000 principal amount of the 7.20% and 7.35% Notes, respectively, remains outstanding. In addition to the debt specifically identified above, the Company has additional notes and loans outstanding with various financial institutions totaling $94,458, as of June 30, 2002, with installments payable in varying amounts through 2009 with interest rates of approximately 2.5% to 7.9%. 21 |
(dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) In 2002, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $546,114. The terms of the interest rate swap contract are for six and ten years. The interest rate swap contracts convert variable rate debt into fixed rate debt.

In 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract with notional amounts totaling $51,467. These amounts relate to on and off balance sheet financing, of which the notional amounts are $43,330 and $8,137, respectively. The terms of the interest rate swap contract are for six years. The interest rate swap contracts convert variable rate debt into fixed rate debt. The maturity of the contract coincides with the maturity of the underlying debt instruments hedged. At June 30, 2002, the on and off balance sheet notional amounts are approximately $34,506 and $5,267, respectively. In 2000, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $334,882. The terms of the interest rate swap contracts are for two and seven years.

See Note 2 for further information regarding CAIs debt. 22 |
MANAGEMENTS
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
|
Lease Operating and Administrative ExpensesThe Companys lease operating and administrative expenses decreased to $20.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $23.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $2.4 million or 10%. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in maintenance and repairs expense of $2.0 million, licensing expense related to California of $1.5 million, equipment rental expense of $1.2 million, salary expense of $.6 million, consulting expense of $.6 million and insurance expense of $.6 million, partially offset by increased storage expense of $2.8 million, minority interest expense of $.8 million, commission expense of $.3 million and $.2 million of incremental lease operating and administrative expenses as a result of consolidating CAI. The more significant variances above can be explained as follows: |
| Maintenance and repair costs declined due to $1.1 million of billable repairs in accordance with the lease terms to a customer in default which were accrued for in previous periods, as well as an overall reduction in repair activity due to lower utilization. |
| Licensing costs in California decreased by $1.5 million due to a change in California law which made the user of the equipment, not the lessor, responsible for the payment of licensing fees. This reduction in expense has brought about a comparable reduction in operating lease revenues since these licensing costs were previously recovered through increased rental rates. |
| Storage costs increased primarily due to a reduction in utilization, increasing the number of chassis sitting idle in depots. |
Provision for Doubtful AccountsThe Companys provision for doubtful accounts increased to $.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. The Companys provision for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a review of the outstanding receivables and an evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts which the Company considers to be adequate based upon the risk profile of the receivables. Market Value Adjustment for Derivative InstrumentsThe increase in the non-cash market value adjustment for derivative instruments of $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the prior year period primarily resulted from the change in the fair value of an interest rate swap entered into in March 2002 with a notional amount of $250.0 million which did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. This swap converts the variable rate payments of certain of the Companys debt to fixed payments. Depreciation and Amortization of Leasing EquipmentThe Companys depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $.5 million or 3%. The decrease was primarily the result of changes to the Companys depreciation policy for chassis amounting to a depreciation savings of $2.3 million and a change to the depreciation policy of its containers amounting to a depreciation savings of $.1 million. These reductions to depreciation expense were partially offset by an increase in depreciation resulting from an expanded fleet size. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the depreciation policy changes for chassis and containers, which were effective April 1, 2002. 24 |
Loss for investments accounted for under the equity methodLosses for investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting increased from $.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The Company recorded its equity in the losses of CAI through June 26, 2002, at which time CAI became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The increase was primarily the result of CAI recording an impairment loss of $5.4 million related to damaged and held for sale equipment, as well as a change in the container depreciation policy effective April 1, 2002 which resulted in an increase in CAIs depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $.6 million. These two items increased losses recorded by the Company by $2.0 million, net of CAIs tax benefit, during the three months ended June 30, 2002. The remaining increase in losses resulted from reduced operating performance of the CAI fleet. Other (Income)/Expense, NetThe Company had other income of $3.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2002. The change in other (income)/expense, net of $4.0 million from the three months ended June 30, 2001 was due to: |
| the sale of the Companys Chicago property, which had been acquired as part of the acquisition of the North American Intermodal division of Transamerica Leasing, Inc. (TA) and resulted in a gain of $4.8 million |
| a reduction in goodwill amortization of $.2 million resulting from the adoption of FASB 142 |
| additional losses of $1.0 million primarily resulting from the sale of leasing equipment recovered from a customer in default |
Interest ExpenseThe Companys interest expense increased to $28.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $23.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $4.7 million or 20%. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increased borrowings to fund capital expenditures, resulting in incremental interest expense of $3.3 million, and deferred financing fees of $1.0 million which were written off when the Company refinanced certain of its debt instruments, as well as the effect of higher overall interest rates resulting in incremental interest expense of $.4 million. The rate increase was primarily due to the completion of a $500.0 million chassis asset-backed securitization facility, which closed on March 28, 2002, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $4.0 million. The interest rate on this facility is 7.66%. The funds were used to repay $428.2 million of existing debt with an average interest rate of 4.96% and the balance was invested. The increase in interest expense as a result of the chassis securitization was partially offset by reduced interest expense of $3.6 million resulting from lower interest rates on the balance of the Companys debt. Interest IncomeThe Companys interest income decreased to $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $2.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.1 million or 42%. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to reduced earnings on invested cash balances. Provision for Income TaxesThe Companys provision for income taxes was nominal for the three months ended June 30, 2002 due to decreased earnings before tax, as well as a lower effective tax rate resulting from greater income contribution from the international container division, which is subject to a lower statutory rate than our domestic intermodal division. Income from Continuing Operations Before Discontinued Operations and Extraordinary GainAs a result of the factors described above, the Companys income from continuing operations before discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and extraordinary gain was $6.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 versus $12.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. (Loss) Gain from Discontinued OperationsThe Company recorded break-even results relating to the discontinued operations of Microtech for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The Company, along with the management of Microtech, believes all future losses expected to be incurred by Microtech during the liquidation of its lease portfolio were properly accrued as of June 30, 2002. The Company, along with the management of Microtech, will continue to assess whether additional accruals for losses are necessary, as additional information becomes available during the liquidation of Microtechs lease portfolio. 25 |
Extraordinary GainThe Company recorded an extraordinary gain on the retirement of debt of $.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Net IncomeAs a result of the factors described above, the Companys net income decreased to $6.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $11.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was affected positively by the one-time sale of the Companys Chicago property resulting in a gain of $2.9 million (after tax) and the change in the Companys depreciation policy for containers and chassis resulting in reduced depreciation expense of $1.5 million (after tax). Net income for the period was adversely affected by unfavorable adjustments to the market value of the Companys derivatives of $1.9 million (after tax), losses on the Companys investment in CAI of $1.8 million (after tax) (which included a provision for the impairment of certain assets of $1.1 million and a change to CAIs container depreciation policy of $.1 million) and increased interest expense of $3.0 million (after tax) resulting from the modification of our chassis securitization facility in March 2002, as well as a one-time write-off of deferred financing fees of $.4 million (after tax). Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2001RevenuesThe Companys revenues decreased to $147.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, from $154.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $6.8 million or 4%. The decrease was attributable to reduced operating lease revenues of $10.8 million, partially offset by increased finance lease revenues of $3.6 million as well as $.4 million of incremental leasing revenues as a result of consolidating CAI. The decrease in operating lease revenue was experienced in the domestic intermodal division resulting from the slowdown of economic activity in North America, a change in how California licensing fees are charged to lessees of chassis (a decrease of $2.9 million) and the elimination of revenues from non-core assets sold to GE Capital in 2001 (a decrease of $1.4 million). In light of the continuation of the slowdown in economic activity in North America, our domestic intermodal operating lease revenues for the three months ending September 30, 2002 may be less than the corresponding amount from the prior year. This trend may continue in subsequent quarters to the extent economic activity in North America continues at reduced levels. Utilization rates of the Interpool Limited container fleet and the domestic intermodal chassis operating lease fleet at June 30, 2002 were 98% and 91%, respectively, and at June 30, 2001 were 97% and 94%, respectively. The Companys containers managed by CAI are considered to be on hire for utilization purposes. The yield (per diem revenue net of operating costs) on assets managed by CAI was $0.39 and $0.57 per day for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This reduction was primarily the result of lower utilization of the equipment in the short term leasing market. The Companys container lease rates have decreased 12% for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease is the result of the termination of leases with higher rates that were written when the acquisition cost of new equipment was higher than it is today. These leases are being replaced by leases with lower rates reflecting the current cost of new equipment. The Companys chassis lease rates have decreased 8% for the same period. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition, in December 2001, of 20,700 used chassis on hire at per diem rates lower than the Companys existing fleet. In addition, chassis rates declined as a result of a change to California law, which made the lessee of the equipment directly responsible for payment of licensing costs. These licensing costs were previously recovered through increased rental rates. Lease Operating and Administrative ExpensesThe Companys lease operating and administrative expenses decreased to $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $45.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $4.7 million or 10%. The decrease was primarily due to reductions in maintenance and repairs expense of $2.8 million, licensing expense related to California of $2.7 million, equipment rental of $2.2 million, salary expense of $1.4 million, consulting expense of $.6 million, insurance expense of $.6 million, computer expense of $.4 million and facilities expense of $.2 million, partially offset by increased storage expense of $4.0 million, minority interest of $1.6 million, commission expense of $.3 million and $.2 million of incremental lease operating and administrative expenses as a result of consolidating CAI. The more significant variances above can be explained as follows: |
| Maintenance and repair costs declined due to $2.1 million of billable repairs in accordance with the lease terms to a customer in default which were accrued for in previous periods, as well as an overall reduction in repair activity due to lower utilization. |
| Licensing costs in California decreased by $2.7 million due to a change in California law which made the user of the equipment, not the lessor, responsible for the payment of licensing fees. This reduction in expense has brought about a comparable reduction in operating lease revenues since these licensing costs were previously recovered through increased rental rates. |
26 |
| Storage costs increased primarily due to a reduction in utilization, increasing the number of chassis sitting idle in depots. |
Provision for Doubtful AccountsThe Companys provision for doubtful accounts increased to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $1.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Companys provision for doubtful accounts is provided based upon a review of the outstanding receivables and an evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts which the Company considers to be adequate based upon the risk profile of the receivables. Market Value Adjustment for Derivative InstrumentsThe Companys non-cash market value adjustment for derivative instruments expense increased to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.3 million. This increase primarily resulted from the change in the fair value of an interest rate swap entered into in March 2002 with a notional amount of $250.0 million which did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133. This swap converts the variable rate payments of certain of the Companys debt to fixed payments. Depreciation and Amortization of Leasing EquipmentThe Companys depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $37.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $36.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.1 million or 3%. The increase was primarily the result of an expanded fleet size, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense as a result of the changes to the Companys depreciation policy for chassis amounting to a depreciation savings of $2.3 million and a change to the depreciation policy of its containers amounting to a depreciation savings of $.1 million, as well as reduced depreciation expense of $1.3 million as a result of the Companys sale of the rail trailers and domestic containers to GE Capital in March 2001. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the depreciation policy changes for chassis and containers, which were effective April 1, 2002. Loss for investments accounted for under the equity methodLosses for investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting increased from $.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Company recorded its equity in the losses of CAI through June 26, 2002, at which time CAI became a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The increase was primarily the result of CAI recording an impairment loss of $5.4 million related to damaged and held for sale equipment, as well as a change in the container depreciation policy effective April 1, 2002 which resulted in an increase in CAIs depreciation for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $.6 million. These two items increased losses recorded by the Company by $2.0 million, net of CAIs tax benefit, during the three months ended June 30, 2002. The remaining increase in losses resulted from reduced operating performance of the CAI fleet. Other (Income)/Expense, NetThe Company had other income of $5.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The change in other (income)/expense, net of $3.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2001was due to: |
| the sale of the Companys Chicago property, which had been acquired as part of the acquisition of the North American Intermodal division of Transamerica Leasing, Inc. (TA) and resulted in a gain of $4.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2002 |
| a reduction in goodwill amortization of $.4 million resulting from the adoption of FASB 142 |
| a gain of $2.4 million related to insurance settlements on equipment not recovered from a customer in default recorded in the first quarter of 2002 |
| additional losses of $1.8 million primarily resulting from the sale of leasing equipment recovered from a customer in default |
| gain of $1.8 million on the sale of rail trailers and domestic containers previously owned by the Company to GE Capital Corporation during the three months ended March 31, 2001. |
Interest ExpenseThe Companys interest expense increased to $51.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $48.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $3.5 million or 7%. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the effect of higher interest rates resulting in an increase to interest expense of $1.9 million, deferred financing fees of $1.0 million which were written off when the Company refinanced certain of its debt instruments, as well as increased borrowings to fund capital expenditures, resulting in incremental interest expense of $.6 million. The rate increase was primarily due to the completion of a $500.0 million chassis asset-backed securitization facility, which closed on March 28, 2002, resulting in an increase in interest expense of $4.0 million. The interest rate on this facility is 7.66%. The funds were used to repay $428.2 million of existing debt with an average interest rate of 4.96% and the balance was invested. The increase in interest expense as a result of the chassis securitization was partially offset by reduced interest expense of $2.2 million resulting from lower interest rates on the balance of the Companys debt. 27 |
Interest IncomeThe Companys interest income decreased to $3.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001, a decrease of $1.8 million or 34%. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to reduced earnings on invested cash balances, as well as reduced cash balances on hand during 2002. Provision for Income TaxesThe Companys provision for income taxes decreased to $1.2 million from $5.0 million due to decreased earnings before tax and a lower effective tax rate resulting from greater income contribution from the international container leasing division, which is subject to a lower statutory rate than our domestic intermodal division. Income from Continuing Operations Before Discontinued Operations, Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle and Extraordinary GainAs a result of the factors described above, the Companys income from continuing operations before discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and extraordinary gain was $17.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 versus $23.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. (Loss) Gain from Discontinued OperationsThe Companys loss from discontinued operations was $.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to a loss from discontinued operations of $.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The Company, along with the management of Microtech, believes all future losses expected to be incurred by Microtech during the liquidation of its lease portfolio were properly accrued as of June 30, 2002. The Company, along with the management of Microtech, will continue to assess whether additional accruals for losses are necessary, as additional information becomes available during the liquidation of Microtechs lease portfolio. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting PrincipleThe Company recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001. This represents the cumulative effect through December 31, 2000 regarding the Companys accounting for swap transactions not accounted for as hedges in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The adoption of Statement 133 on January 1, 2001 increased liabilities by approximately $9.0 million, with offsetting amounts recorded as decreases to deferred tax liabilities of $2.4 million and accumulated other comprehensive income of $7.4 million. Extraordinary GainThe Company recorded an extraordinary gain on the retirement of debt of $.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2001. Net IncomeAs a result of the factors described above, the Companys net income decreased to $16.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2002 from $23.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2001. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was affected positively by the one-time recovery of $2.5 million (after tax) for the excess of amounts billable to a customer for unrecovered equipment over the Companys net book value, which is expected to be recovered through insurance proceeds, the one-time sale of the Companys Chicago property resulting in a gain of $2.9 million (after tax) and the change in the Companys depreciation policy for containers and chassis resulting in reduced depreciation expense of $1.5 million (after tax). Net income for the period was adversely affected by unfavorable adjustments to the market value of the Companys derivatives of $1.4 million (after tax), losses on the Companys investment in CAI of $2.2 million (after tax) (which included a provision for the impairment of certain assets of $1.1 million and a change to CAIs container depreciation policy of $.1 million) and increased interest expense of $3.0 million (after tax) resulting from the modification of our chassis securitization facility in March 2002 as well as a one-time write-off of deferred financing fees of $.4 million (after tax). 28 |
Liquidity and Capital ResourcesThe Company uses funds from various sources to finance the acquisition of equipment for lease to customers. The primary funding sources are cash provided by operations, borrowings (generally from banks), securitization of lease receivables, the issuance of capital lease obligations and the sale of the Companys securities. In addition, the Company generates cash from the sale of equipment being retired from the Companys fleet. In general, the Company seeks to meet debt service requirements from the leasing revenue generated by its equipment. The Company generated cash flow from operations of $53.7 million and $50.3 million in the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively, and net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $77.5 million and ($321.0) million for the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company has purchased equipment amounting to: $148.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and $124.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In March 1999, the Company established a container securitization facility of $250.0 million. This program provides the Company with a lower cost of capital for its finance lease business and access to an additional source of funding. Included in other investment securities at June 30, 2002, is approximately $11.5 million of retained interests in the securitized lease receivables. In July 2001, the container securitization facility, which was originally established as an off-balance sheet source of financing, was amended allowing additional financings to be accounted for as on-balance sheet secured debt financing. At June 30, 2002, $135.8 million of the container securitization facility was utilized, of which $49.3 million relates to off-balance sheet financing, while $86.5 million relates to on-balance sheet financing and is included in debt and capital lease obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In August 2002, the container securitization facility was extended to October 2005 with the maximum outstanding limited to $150.0 million. In March 2002, the Company established a $500.0 million chassis asset-backed securitization facility. This facility is guaranteed by MBIA and was therefore rated AAA by Standard & Poors and Aaa by Moodys. The proceeds from this financing were used to repay debt related to a secured financing facility used to fund the acquisition of assets from Transamerica, to repay a previously established chassis securitization facility, to fund growth of our intermodal equipment fleet and for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2002, $487.3 million of this facility was outstanding with an interest rate of 7.66%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of June 30, 2002. This facility is accounted for as on-balance sheet secured debt financing. The assets used to secure this facility are segregated in a Delaware statutory titling trust (the Trust) and in two special purpose entities (each of which is a separate legal entity) and amount to $17.7 million of accounts receivable and fixed assets with a net book value of $506.1 million at June 30, 2002. In addition, $24.2 million of cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2002 are restricted for use by the Trust and the special purpose entities. The assets, which are segregated in the special purpose entities, are not available to pay the claims of the Companys creditors. In July 2000, the Company established a chassis securitization facility of $280.0 million. In October 2000, this chassis securitization facility was increased to $300.0 million. At December 31, 2001, $277.4 million of this facility was outstanding, with an interest rate of 4.75%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of December 31, 2001. The Company repaid this facility in full in March 2002 with proceeds from our new chassis asset-backed securitization facility completed in March 2002. In October 2000, the Company established a secured financing facility in the amount of $300.0 million to fund the TA transaction. At December 31, 2001, $97.7 million of this facility was outstanding with an interest rate of 3.94%. The Company repaid this facility in full in March 2002 with proceeds from our new chassis asset-backed securitization facility completed in March 2002. The Company has a $215.0 million revolving credit facility with a group of commercial banks; on June 30, 2002, $150.0 million was outstanding, with an interest rate of 7.61%, including the effect of interest rate swap contracts in place as of June 30, 2002. In July 2000, this facility was renewed and amended with the term extended to July 31, 2005. The credit limit remains at $215.0 million through July 31, 2003; thereafter the credit limit declines to $193.5 million through July 31, 2004 and $172.0 million through July 21, 2005. Subsequent to June 30, 2002 the Company has continued to incur and repay debt obligations in connection with financing its equipment leasing activities. Under our revolving credit facility and most of our other debt instruments, the Company is required to maintain a tangible net worth (as defined) of $125 million, a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5 to 1 and a funded debt to net worth ratio of 4.0 to 1. At June 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with these requirements. 29 |
In February 1998, the Company issued $100.0 million principal amount of 6-5/8% Note due 2003. During the second and third quarters of 2001, the Company retired a total of $27.2 million of the 6-5/8% Notes and recognized an extraordinary gain, net of tax, of $0.4 million. During the second quarter of 2002, the Company retired a total of $5.2 million of the 6-5/8% Notes. As of June 30, 2002, $42.4 million principal amount of 6-5/8% Notes remain outstanding. In April 1998, the Company acquired a 50% common equity interest in Container Applications International, Inc. (CAI). CAI owns and leases its own fleet of containers and manages, for a fee, containers owned by third parties. The Company entered into its operating relationship with CAI primarily to facilitate the rental in the short-term market of containers coming off long-term lease, to gain access to new companies looking to lease containers on a long term basis and to realize cost efficiencies from the operation of a coordinated container lease marketing group. The marketing group which is organized as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is responsible for soliciting container lease business for both the Company and CAI, including long-term and direct finance lease business and short-term lease business on master lease agreements. All long-term and direct finance lease business is purchased by the Company, except that the Company offers to CAI, at cost, 10% of this long-term and direct finance lease business. In connection with the acquisition of its equity interest in CAI, the Company loaned CAI $33.7 million under a Subordinated Note Agreement (Note) which is collateralized by all containers owned by CAI as of April 30, 1998 or thereafter acquired, subject to the priority security interest lien of CAIs senior credit facility, except for certain excluded collateral. Interest on the Note was calculated at an annual fixed rate of 10.5% payable quarterly. The original repayment terms required mandatory quarterly principle payments of $1.7 million beginning July 30, 2003 through July 30, 2008. The Note was subject to certain financial covenants and was cross-defaulted with CAIs senior credit facility, subject to the terms of a subordination agreement. On June 27, 2002, CAI entered into an amended $125.0 million senior revolving credit agreement with a group of financial institutions. To facilitate the closing of this new credit facility, the Company agreed to extend the repayment terms of its Note so as to require mandatory quarterly principal payments of $1.7 million beginning July 30, 2006 through July 30, 2011 and modified certain financial covenants in the Note. Interest on the Note continues to accrue at an annual fixed rate of 10.5% and is payable quarterly. The Note continues to be cross-defaulted with CAIs credit agreement, subject to the terms of an amended and restated subordination agreement. A total of $104.5 million was outstanding under CAIs senior revolving credit facility at June 30, 2002. Borrowings under CAIs senior credit facility are secured by substantially all CAIs assets and are payable on June 27, 2005. The senior credit facility contains various financial and other covenants. At June 30, 2002, CAI would not have been in compliance with one of the financial covenants then contained in the senior credit facility as well as similar covenants under two master lease agreements relating to equipment in CAIs fleet. CAI received amendments to these covenants in September 2002 which were made retroactive to June 30, 2002. As a result, CAI was in compliance as of June 30, 2002 with all senior credit facility and lease covenants as amended. In March 2001, the Company completed the sale of 50,000 rail trailers and domestic containers to GE Capital Corporation, including all 40,000 rail trailers and domestic containers the Company acquired from TA in October 2000, for approximately $345.0 million. In May 1999, our Microtech subsidiary acquired a 51% interest in Personal Computer Rentals, Inc. (PCR), a nationwide lessor of computers and related equipment. We also provided financing to PCR. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, we initiated a plan to dispose of PCR, a 51%-owned subsidiary, and to discontinue the operations of Microtech, a 75.5%-owned subsidiary and liquidate its lease portfolio. As a result of this decision, PCR and Microtech have been classified as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. On December 31, 2001, we completed the sale of our 51% ownership stake of PCR to an investment group comprised of the management of PCR. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, we initiated a bankruptcy claim against a customer and sought to collect receivables and to recover equipment values through its insurance policies. We demanded the return of approximately $48.6 million of equipment, including $8.5 million of direct finance leases which were reclassified to leasing equipment. For purposes of submitting an insurance claim, we determined that approximately $8.3 million of this equipment will not be recovered from the customer. In addition, the outstanding receivables from this customer as of June 30, 2002 totaled approximately $33.5 million, all of which is covered by insurance or reserved for in the allowance for doubtful accounts. At this time, we estimate no impairment upon the liquidation and/or re-lease of these assets after considering anticipated insurance proceeds. The maximum insurance coverage related to this claim is $35.0 million. The overall recovery of the asset values has been evaluated taking into consideration the equipment book value, the cost to recover and re-lease the equipment, and the total outstanding receivables, as well as the likelihood to collect through the recovery and sale of the equipment or the stipulated equipment values within the insurance policy. We recorded revenue from these leases through August 20, 2001 at which time, revenue recognition was discontinued, as lease payments through August 20, 2001 were covered by the insurance policies. We will continue to assess the overall recovery of the asset values and adjust the assumptions used in evaluating the total insurance claim with respect to this customers bankruptcy. As additional information becomes available, reserves for the impairment of the asset values may be necessary based upon changes in economic conditions and the assumptions used in evaluating the total insurance claim. 30 |
As of June 30, 2002, commitments for capital expenditures totaled approximately $34.8 million. The Company believes that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowings under credit facilities and the net proceeds of the issuance of debt and equity securities in appropriate markets will be sufficient to meet the working capital needs, capital expenditures and required debt repayments for the next twelve months. The Companys available liquidity at June 30, 2002 was $190.7 million consisting of $125.7 million of cash and marketable securities (excluding $24.2 million of cash within the chassis securitization facility) and $65.0 million of availability under our $215.0 million revolving credit facility. Required debt repayments are $174.6 million for the next twelve months. In addition, the Company expects to rely in substantial part on long-term financing for any purchase of equipment or strategic acquisitions to expand its business in the future. The Company cannot assure that additional long-term financing will be available for these purposes on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, from time to time, the Company explores new sources of capital both at the parent and subsidiary levels. For example, the Company has given consideration to the possible sale of a minority interest in certain of our subsidiaries and to the possibility of securitizing new categories of assets, and has been seeking to develop a new source of financing by offering its convertible debentures to stockholders in a subscription rights offering. On July 1, 2001, the Company restructured its relationship with The Ivy Group and its principals to provide the Company with managerial control over 6,047 chassis previously leased by Trac Lease, Inc. (Trac Lease), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, from The Ivy Group. As a result of the restructuring, the partners of The Ivy Group contributed these 6,047 chassis and certain other assets and liabilities to a newly formed subsidiary, Chassis Holdings I LLC (Chassis Holdings), in exchange for $26.0 million face value of preferred membership units and 10% of the common membership units, and Trac Lease contributed 902 chassis and $2.4 million in cash to Chassis Holdings in exchange for $3.0 million face value of preferred membership units and 90% of the common membership units. The preferred membership units are entitled to receive a preferred return prior to the receipt of any distributions by the holders of the common membership units. The value of the contributed chassis was determined by taking the arithmetic average of the results of independent appraisals performed by three nationally recognized appraisal firms in connection with the Companys establishment of a chassis securitization facility in July 2000. As the managing member of Chassis Holdings, Trac Lease exercises sole managerial control over the entitys operations. Chassis Holdings leases all of its chassis to Trac Lease at a rental rate equal to the then current Trac Lease fleet average per diem. Chassis Holdings and the holders of the preferred membership units are party to a Put/Call Agreement which provides that the holders of preferred units may put such units to Chassis Holdings under certain circumstances and Chassis Holdings may redeem such units under certain circumstances. Chassis Holdings will be required to make certain option payments to the holders of the preferred membership units in order to preserve its right to redeem such units. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, dividends paid on the common units and distributions on the preferred units owned by The Ivy Group, totaling $1.6 million, are included in lease operating and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income. As previously announced, the Company has authorized the repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. The shares will be purchased from time to time through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company purchased 2,100 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $.04 million. During the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company purchased 58,100 shares for an aggregate purchase price of $.9 million. From time to time, we enter into discussions with third parties regarding potential acquisitions or business combinations. If additional capital were to be required for any such acquisition, there can be no assurance that such additional capital would be available on terms acceptable to us. On July 8, 2002, the Company commenced a subscription rights offering of up to $31.5 million of 9.25% Convertible Redeemable Subordinated Debentures. The debentures were offered to holders of the Companys common stock pursuant to the exercise of non-transferable subscription rights and were to be convertible into shares of the Companys common stock. The Company had the right in its discretion to accept offers from other parties to purchase debentures not subscribed for by stockholders. On August 14, 2002, the Company terminated its pending subscription rights offering due to the delay in filing this Form 10-Q. The Company intends to re-commence the offering at a later date. 31 |
