Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Interim Financial Statements

     The Consolidated Financial Statements of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Greenbrier” or the “Company”) as of February 28, 2003 and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2003 and 2002 have been prepared without audit and reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods indicated. The results of operations for the three and six months ended February 28, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending August 31, 2003. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

     Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

     Management estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include warranty accruals, maintenance accruals, evaluation of the remaining life and recoverability of long-lived assets, intangible asset valuation, contingency accruals, and income tax related accruals. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     Initial Adoption of Accounting Policies – The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” as of September 1, 2002. The statement requires discontinuing the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Instead, these assets are to be tested periodically for impairment and written down to their fair market value as necessary. Other than the cessation of amortization of goodwill, which was not significant, the adoption of SFAS No. 142 had no effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for the six months ended February 28, 2003.

     SFAS No.142 prescribes a two-phase process for testing the impairment of goodwill. The first phase, required to be completed by February 28, 2003, screens for impairment. If impairment exists, the second phase, required to be completed by August 31, 2003, measures the impairment. The Company completed its first phase impairment analysis during the second quarter and found no instances of impairment of its recorded goodwill or indefinite life intangibles. Accordingly, no impairment charge has been recorded as a result of adopting SFAS No. 142. Beginning in the third quarter of 2003, recorded goodwill and indefinite life intangibles will be tested at least annually for impairment and more frequently if material changes in events or circumstances arise.

     The Company adopted SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities as of December 31, 2002. This statement addresses the financial accounting and reporting issues associated with exit and disposal activities and generally requires that costs associated with such exit or disposal activities are recognized as incurred rather than at the date a company commits to an exit or disposal activity. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 as of December 31, 2002 had no effect on the Company’s results of operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2003.

Note 3 — Discontinued Operations

     In August 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors committed to a plan to recapitalize European operations. As a result, the European operations are accounted for as discontinued operations, and accordingly, the financial results have been removed from the Company’s results of continuing operations for all periods presented.

     The Company is currently pursuing several options for recapitalization of European operations which include discussions with strategic investors, financial investors, and members of European management and will proceed with the option that the Board of Directors believes will be most beneficial to Greenbrier’s shareholders.

     Summarized results of operations of the discontinued operations are:
