Such forward-looking statements may be included in, but not limited to, press releases, oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer or in various filings made by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this filing on Form 10-Q. These forward-looking statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events and include statements relating to:

•		availability of financing sources and borrowing base for working capital, other business development activities, capital spending and railcar warehousing activities;

•		ability to renew, maintain or obtain sufficient lines of credit and performance guarantees on acceptable terms;

•		short- and long-term revenue and earnings effects of the above items.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors outside Greenbrier’s control. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:

•		fluctuations in demand for newly manufactured railcars or marine barges;

•		delays in receipt of orders, risks that contracts may be canceled during their term or not renewed and that customers may not purchase the amount of products or services under the contracts as anticipated;

•		ability to maintain sufficient availability of credit facilities and to maintain compliance with or to obtain appropriate amendments to covenants under various credit agreements;

•		domestic and global political or economic conditions including such matters as terrorism, war, embargoes or quotas;

•		growth or reduction in the surface transportation industry;

•		ability to maintain good relationships with third party labor providers or collective bargaining units;

•		steel and specialty component price fluctuations, scrap surcharges, steel scrap prices and other commodity price fluctuations and their impact on product demand and margin;

•		a delay or failure of acquired businesses, start-up operations, or new products or services to compete successfully;

•		changes in product mix and the mix of revenue levels among reporting segments;

•		labor disputes, energy shortages or operating difficulties that might disrupt operations or the flow of cargo;

•		production difficulties and product delivery delays as a result of, among other matters, changing technologies or non-performance of alliance partners, subcontractors or suppliers;

•		ability to renew or replace expiring customer contracts on satisfactory terms;

•		ability to obtain and execute suitable contracts for railcars held for sale;

•		lower than anticipated lease renewal rates, earnings on utilization based leases or residual values for leased equipment;

•		discovery of defects in railcars resulting in increased warranty costs or litigation;

•		resolution or outcome of pending or future litigation and investigations;

•		financial condition of principal customers;

•		competitive factors, including introduction of competitive products, new entrants into certain of our markets, price pressures, limited customer base and competitiveness of our manufacturing facilities and products;

•		industry overcapacity and our manufacturing capacity utilization;

•		decreases in carrying value of inventory, goodwill or other assets due to impairment;

•		severance or other costs or charges associated with lay-offs, shutdowns, or reducing the size and scope of operations;

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC .

•		changes in future maintenance or warranty requirements;

•		ability to adjust to the cyclical nature of the railcar industry;

•		changes in interest rates and financial impacts from interest rates;

•		ability and cost to maintain and renew operating permits;

•		actions by various regulatory agencies;

•		changes in fuel and/or energy prices;

•		risks associated with intellectual property rights of Greenbrier or third parties, including infringement, maintenance, protection, validity, enforcement and continued use of such rights;

•		expansion of warranty and product support terms beyond those which have traditionally prevailed in the rail supply industry;

•		availability of a trained work force and availability and/or price of essential raw materials, specialties or components, including steel castings, to permit manufacture of units on order;

•		failure to successfully integrate acquired businesses;

•		discovery of unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses;

•		failure of or delay in implementing and using new software or other technologies;

•		ability to replace maturing lease revenue and earnings with revenue and earnings from additions to the lease fleet and management services;

•		credit limitations upon our ability to maintain effective hedging programs; and

•		financial impacts from currency fluctuations and currency hedging activities in our worldwide operations.

Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. Greenbrier assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting such forward-looking statements or if Greenbrier later becomes aware that these assumptions are not likely to be achieved, except as required under securities laws.

All references to years refer to the fiscal years ended August 31 ^st unless otherwise noted.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Interim Financial Statements

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries (Greenbrier or the Company) as of February 28, 2010 and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 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, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending August 31, 2010.

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 2009 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 judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications — Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year’s Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the 2010 presentation of noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries.

Initial Adoption of Accounting Policies — In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations . This statement, which has been codified within ASC 805, Business Combinations , establishes the principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest; recognizes and measures goodwill; and identifies disclosures. This statement was effective for the Company for business combinations entered into on or after September 1, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 . This statement, which has been codified within ASC 810, Consolidations , establishes reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. This statement changed the presentation of noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries in the financial statements for the Company beginning September 1, 2009 and the presentation and disclosure has been retrospectively applied for all periods presented.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement). This guidance specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. This guidance, which has been codified within ASC 470 , Debt , was effective for the Company beginning September 1, 2009 with respect to its $100.0 million of outstanding convertible debt. This guidance required retrospective adjustments for all periods the Company had the convertible debt outstanding. See Note 2 for discussion of the impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Prospective Accounting Changes - In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) which provides guidance with respect to consolidation of variable interest entities . This statement retains the scope of Interpretation 46(R) with the addition of entities previously considered qualifying special-purpose entities, as the concept of these entities was eliminated in SFAS No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets . This statement replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The approach focuses on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb the losses or receive the benefits from the entity. It is possible that application of this revised guidance will change an enterprise’s assessment of involvement with variable interest entities. This statement, which has been

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

codified within ASC 810, Consolidations, is effective for the Company as of September 1, 2010. Management believes this statement will not have an impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of this statement, if any, as the effective date approaches.

Note 2 — Adoption of ASC 470-20 Debt — Debt with Conversion and Other Options

On September 1, 2009 the Company adopted accounting guidance for debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion. This guidance was retrospectively applied to the Company’s $100.0 million of outstanding convertible senior notes with a coupon rate of 2 ³ / ₈ %. In accordance with ASC 470-20, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the entity’s non convertible debt borrowing rate. The liability component is recognized as the fair value of a similar instrument that does not have a conversion feature at issuance. The equity component, which is the conversion feature at issuance, is recognized as the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the notes and the fair value of the liability component. The Company recognized an effective interest rate of 7 ³ / ₄ % on the carrying value of the debt.

On September 1, 2009 the Company retrospectively recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet a debt discount of $17.0 million, a deferred tax liability of $6.7 million and a $10.3 million increase to equity. The debt discount is being amortized using the effective interest rate method through May 2013 and the amortization expense is included in Interest and foreign exchange on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The pre-tax amortization was $1.0 million and $2.0 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 and $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended February 28, 2009. Pre-tax amortization is expected to be approximately $4.1 million in the year ending August 31, 2010, $4.5 million in the year ending August 31, 2011, $4.8 million in the year ending August 31, 2012 and $3.6 million in the year ending August 31, 2013.

The retrospective application of this guidance adjusted Interest and foreign exchange and Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the three and six months ended February 28, 2009 as indicated below:

Note 6 — Revolving Notes

All amounts originating in foreign currency have been translated at the February 28, 2010 exchange rate for the following discussion. As of February 28, 2010 senior secured credit facilities, consisting of three components, aggregated $124.5 million. As of February 28, 2010 a $100.0 million revolving line of credit, maturing November 2011, was available to provide working capital and interim financing of equipment, principally for the United States and Mexican operations. Advances under this facility bear interest at variable rates that depend on the type of borrowing and the defined ratio of debt to total capitalization. Available borrowings under the credit facility are generally based on defined levels of inventory, receivables, property, plant and equipment and leased equipment, as well as total debt to consolidated capitalization and interest coverage ratios. In addition, as of February 28, 2010, lines of credit totaling $18.8 million, with various variable rates, were available for working capital needs of the European manufacturing operation. European credit facilities are continually being renewed. Currently these European credit facilities have maturities that range from April 2010 through August 2010. The Company’s Mexican joint venture obtained a line of credit of $5.7 million secured by certain of the joint venture’s accounts receivable and inventory. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.0% and are due 180 days after the date of borrowing. Currently the outstanding borrowings have maturities that range from July 2010 to August 2010.

As of February 28, 2010 outstanding borrowings under these facilities consists of $3.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the North American credit facility, $11.6 million in revolving notes outstanding under the European credit facilities and $5.7 million outstanding under the joint venture credit facility.

Note 11 — Stock Based Compensation

All stock options vested prior to September 1, 2005 and accordingly no compensation expense was recorded for stock options for the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. The value of stock awarded under restricted stock grants is amortized as compensation expense over the vesting period which is generally two to five years. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2010, $1.4 million and $2.7 million in compensation expense was recorded for restricted stock grants. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2009, $1.3 million and $2.4 million in compensation expense was recorded for restricted stock grants.

Note 12 — Derivative Instruments

Foreign operations give rise to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions are utilized to hedge a portion of that risk in Pound Sterling and Euro. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain debt. The Company’s foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges, and therefore the unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

At February 28, 2010 exchange rates, forward exchange contracts for the purchase of Polish Zloty and the sale of Euros aggregated $38.8 million. Adjusting the foreign currency exchange contracts to the fair value of the cash flow hedges at February 28, 2010 resulted in an unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.4 million that was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The fair value of the contracts is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities when there is a loss, or accounts receivable when there is a gain, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As the contracts mature at various dates through June 2011, any such gain or loss remaining will be recognized in manufacturing revenue along with the related transactions. In the event that the underlying sales transaction does not occur or does not occur in the period designated at the inception of the hedge, the amount classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss would be reclassified to the current year’s results of operations in Interest and foreign exchange.

At February 28, 2010, an interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $46.3 million and matures March 2014. The fair value of this cash flow hedge at February 28, 2010 resulted in an unrealized pre-tax loss of $4.0 million. The loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the fair value of the contract is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As interest expense on the underlying debt is recognized, amounts corresponding to the interest rate swap are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss and charged or credited to interest expense. At February 28, 2010 interest rates, approximately $1.4 million would be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months.

Note 13 — Segment Information

Greenbrier operates in three reportable segments: Manufacturing, Refurbishment & Parts and Leasing & Services. The accounting policies of the segments are described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Performance is evaluated based on margin. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally accounted for at fair value as if the sales or transfers were to third parties. While intercompany transactions are treated like third-party transactions to evaluate segment performance, the revenues and related expenses are eliminated in consolidation and therefore do not impact consolidated results.

The information in the following table is derived directly from the segments’ internal financial reports used for corporate management purposes.

Note 14 — Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental studies have been conducted of the Company’s owned and leased properties that indicate additional investigation and some remediation on certain properties may be necessary. The Company’s Portland, Oregon manufacturing facility is located adjacent to the Willamette River. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified portions of the river bed, including the portion fronting Greenbrier’s facility, as a federal “National Priority List” or “Superfund” site due to sediment contamination (the Portland Harbor Site). Greenbrier and more than 90 other parties have received a “General Notice” of potential liability from the EPA relating to the Portland Harbor Site. The letter advised the Company that it may be liable for the costs of investigation and remediation (which liability may be joint and several with other potentially responsible parties) as well as for natural resource damages resulting from releases of hazardous substances to the site. At this time, ten private and public entities, including the Company, have signed an Administrative Order on Consent (AOC) to perform a remedial investigation/feasibility study (RI/FS) of the Portland Harbor Site under EPA oversight, and several additional entities have not signed such consent, but are nevertheless contributing money to the effort. The study is expected to be completed in 2011. In February 2008, the EPA sought information from over 200 additional entities, including other federal agencies in order to determine whether additional General Notice letters were warranted. Seventy-one parties have entered into a non-judicial mediation process to try to allocate costs associated with the Portland Harbor site. Approximately 110 additional parties have signed tolling agreements related to such allocations. On April 23, 2009, the Company and the other AOC signatories filed suit against 69 other parties due to a possible limitations period for some such claims; Arkema Inc. et al v. A & C Foundry Products, Inc.et al, US District Court, District of Oregon, Case #3:09-cv-453-PK. All but 12 of these parties elected to sign tolling agreements and be dismissed without prejudice, and the case has now been stayed, pending completion of the RI/FS. In addition, the Company has entered into a Voluntary Clean-Up Agreement with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality in which the Company agreed to conduct an investigation of whether, and to what extent, past or present operations at the Portland property may have released hazardous substances to the environment. The Company is also conducting groundwater remediation relating to a historical spill on the property which antedates its ownership.

Because these environmental investigations are still underway, the Company is unable to determine the amount of ultimate liability relating to these matters. Based on the results of the pending investigations and future assessments of natural resource damages, Greenbrier may be required to incur costs associated with additional phases of investigation or remedial action, and may be liable for damages to natural resources. In addition, the Company may be required to perform periodic maintenance dredging in order to continue to launch vessels from its launch ways in Portland, Oregon, on the Willamette River, and the river’s classification as a Superfund site could result in some limitations on future dredging and launch activities. Any of these matters could adversely affect the Company’s business and results of operations, or the value of its Portland property.

From time to time, Greenbrier is involved as a defendant in litigation in the ordinary course of business, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. The most significant litigation is as follows:

On April 20, 2004, BC Rail Partnership initiated litigation against the Company and TrentonWorks in the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, alleging breach of contract and negligent manufacture and design of railcars which were involved in a 1999 derailment. Trial had been scheduled for April 2011. The parties have recently reached an

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC .

agreement in principle, subject to final documentation and court approval, to settle the litigation at no additional cost to the Company.

Greenbrier’s customer, SEB Finans AB (SEB), has raised performance concerns related to a component that the Company installed on 372 railcar units with an aggregate sales value of approximately $20.0 million produced under a contract with SEB. On December 9, 2005, SEB filed a Statement of Claim in an arbitration proceeding in Stockholm, Sweden, against Greenbrier alleging that the cars were defective and could not be used for their intended purpose. A settlement agreement was entered into effective February 28, 2007 pursuant to which the railcar units previously delivered were to be repaired and the remaining units completed and delivered to SEB. Greenbrier is proceeding with repairs of the railcars in accordance with terms of the settlement agreement, though SEB has recently made additional warranty claims, including claims with respect to cars that have been repaired pursuant to the agreement. Greenbrier is evaluating SEB’s new warranty claim. Current estimates of potential costs of such repairs do not exceed amounts accrued.

When the Company acquired the assets of the Freight Wagon Division of DaimlerChrysler in January 2000, it acquired a contract to build 201 freight cars for Okombi GmbH, a subsidiary of Rail Cargo Austria AG. Subsequently, Okombi made breach of warranty and late delivery claims against the Company which grew out of design and certification problems. All of these issues were settled as of March 2004. Additional allegations have been made, the most serious of which involve cracks to the structure of the cars. Okombi has been required to remove all 201 freight cars from service, and a formal claim has been made against the Company. Legal, technical and commercial evaluations are on-going to determine what obligations the Company might have, if any, to remedy the alleged defects.

Management intends to vigorously defend its position in each of the open foregoing cases. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company is involved as a defendant in other litigation initiated in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome of such legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, management believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company delivered 500 railcar units during fiscal year 2009 which have an obligation to guarantee the purchaser minimum earnings. The obligation expires December 31, 2011. The maximum potential obligation totaled $13.1 million and in certain defined instances the obligation may be reduced due to early termination. The purchaser has agreed to utilize the railcars on a preferential basis, and the Company is entitled to re-market the railcar units when they are not being utilized by the purchaser during the obligation period. Any earnings generated from the railcar units will offset the obligation and be recognized as revenue and margin in future periods. The Company believes its actual obligation will be less than the $13.1 million. Upon delivery of the railcar units, the entire purchase price was recorded as revenue and paid in full. The minimum earnings due to the purchaser were considered a reduction of revenue and were recorded as deferred revenue. As of February 28, 2010, the Company has $9.1 million of the potential obligation remaining in deferred revenue.

The Company has entered into contingent rental assistance agreements, aggregating $5.9 million, on certain railcars subject to leases that have been sold to third parties. These agreements guarantee the purchasers a minimum lease rental, subject to a maximum defined rental assistance amount, over remaining periods of up to two years. A liability is established and revenue is reduced in the period during which a determination can be made that it is probable that a rental shortfall will occur and the amount can be estimated. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2010 an accrual of $0.1 million and $0.2 million was recorded to cover future obligations. For the six months ended February 28, 2009 no accrual was made to cover estimated obligations as management determined no additional rental shortfall was probable. The remaining balance of the accrued liability was $0.1 million as February 28, 2010. All of these agreements were entered into prior to December 31, 2002 and have not been modified since.

In accordance with customary business practices in Europe, the Company has $10.5 million in bank and third party performance and warranty guarantee facilities, all of which have been utilized as of February 28, 2010. To date no amounts have been drawn under these performance and warranty guarantee facilities.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

At February 28, 2010, an unconsolidated subsidiary had $1.7 million of third party debt, for which the Company has guaranteed 33% or approximately $0.6 million. In the event that there is a change in control or insolvency by any of the three 33% investors that have guaranteed the debt, the remaining investors’ share of the guarantee will increase proportionately.

The Company has outstanding letters of credit aggregating $3.8 million associated with facility leases and payroll.

Note 15 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments and the methods and assumptions used to estimate such fair values are as follows:


	Carrying		Estimated
(In thousands)	Amount		Fair Value
Notes payable as of February 28, 2010	$	527,191	$	503,965
Notes payable as of August 31, 2009	$	525,149	$	508,372

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, revolving notes, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps is a reasonable estimate of fair value of these financial instruments. Estimated rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of notes payable.

Note 16 — Fair Value Measures

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value, for this disclosure, is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, under a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring a fair value as follows:

Level 1 —		observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 —		inputs, other than the quoted market prices in active markets, which are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 —		unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2010 are:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Executive Summary

We operate in three primary business segments: Manufacturing, Refurbishment & Parts and Leasing & Services. These three business segments are operationally integrated. The Manufacturing segment, operating from four facilities in the United States, Mexico and Poland, produces double-stack intermodal railcars, conventional railcars, tank cars and marine vessels. The Refurbishment & Parts segment performs railcar repair, refurbishment and maintenance activities in the United States and Mexico as well as wheel, axle and bearing servicing, and production and reconditioning of a variety of parts for the railroad industry. The Leasing & Services segment owns approximately 9,000 railcars and provides management services for approximately 222,000 railcars for railroads, shippers, carriers, institutional investors and other leasing and transportation companies in North America. Management evaluates segment performance based on margins. We also produce rail castings for the North American marketplace through an unconsolidated joint venture.

All segments of the North American and European freight car markets in which we operate are currently experiencing depressed demand in a weak economy, market saturation of certain freight car types and tight capital markets. All of the aforementioned contribute to increased caution on the part of our customers and intensified competitive circumstances. These market factors have led and may continue to lead to lower revenues and reduced margins for some of our operations. In response to these market conditions we are concentrating our North American railcar manufacturing at our Mexican joint venture facility in Frontera, temporarily shuttering production at our facility in Sahagun Mexico and limiting new railcar production at our Portland, Oregon facility. These conditions may also lead to the temporary idling of some of our other facilities. We currently anticipate recommencing railcar production at our facility in Sahagun during the fourth quarter.

The rail and marine industries are cyclical in nature. Customer orders may be subject to cancellations and contain terms and conditions customary in the industry. Historically, little variation has been experienced between the product ordered and the product actually delivered. Recent economic conditions have caused some customers to consider renegotiation, delay or cancellation of orders. Our railcar and marine backlogs are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

During the quarter we modified our long-term new railcar contract with General Electric Railcar Services Corporation (GE). Under the terms of the modified contract, the parties have agreed to reduce the contract quantities to up to 6,000 railcars. We expect to build the first 3,800 tank cars and hopper cars by July 2013. The delivery and purchase price of these units is agreed upon, with the purchase price subject to adjustments for changes in the material costs. The blended purchase price of the 3,800 units represents a price increase from the original contract and delivery of these units has been extended by 27 months from the original contract. The remaining 2,200 tank and hopper cars are subject to fulfillment of certain contractual conditions by both parties in their sole discretion and would occur over the five-year period following the completion of the 3,800 units. In addition, we have retained the right of first refusal, subject to certain qualifications, to manufacture all new railcar builds for GE through December 2018.

In addition, we will become a Preferred Railcar Maintenance Provider for GE’s fleet of railcars and will perform railcar maintenance and refurbishment work for GE under a new five-year agreement with a minimum contract value of approximately $25 million. Under this contract, we will, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, begin to cut-down 485 double-stack intermodal platforms from 48’ in length to 40’ in length at our Gunderson facility in Portland, Oregon. In certain situations, we have also obtained a right of first refusal, subject to certain qualifications, to perform railcar refurbishment and program work through March 7, 2015. We will share with Greenbrier-GIMSA LLC in an equitable manner all of the benefits (net of any expenses) received from GE as a result of the amended agreement.

Multi-year supply agreements are a part of rail industry practice. Our total manufacturing backlog of railcars for sale and lease, as of February 28, 2010 was approximately 4,400 units with an estimated value of $380 million compared to 15,100 units valued at $1.31 billion as of February 28, 2009. Based on current production plans, approximately 1,200 units in backlog are scheduled for delivery in the remainder of fiscal year 2010. The February 28, 2010 backlog does not include the contingent production of 2,200 units for GE. There are currently 400 units in backlog

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

that may be cancelled by the customer, in its sole discretion and without penalty, if during calendar 2010 the customer determines that it does not need the units. A portion of the orders included in backlog reflects an assumed product mix. Under terms of the orders, the exact mix will be determined in the future which may impact the dollar amount of backlog.

Marine backlog was approximately $90 million as of February 28, 2010. Approximately $35 million of backlog is scheduled for delivery in the remainder of fiscal year 2010. The balance of the production is scheduled into 2012.

Prices for steel, a primary component of railcars and barges, and related surcharges have fluctuated significantly and remain volatile. In addition, the price of certain railcar components, which are a product of steel, are affected by steel price fluctuations. New railcar and marine backlog generally either includes fixed price contracts which anticipate material price increases and surcharges, or contracts that contain actual pass through of material price increases and surcharges. We are aggressively working to mitigate these exposures. The Company’s integrated business model has helped offset some of the effects of fluctuating steel and scrap steel prices, as a portion of our business segments benefit from rising steel scrap prices while other segments benefit from lower steel and scrap steel prices through enhanced margins.

We delivered 500 railcar units during fiscal year 2009 for which we have an obligation to guarantee the purchaser minimum earnings. The obligation expires December 31, 2011. The maximum potential obligation totals $13.1 million and in certain defined instances the obligation may be reduced due to early termination. The purchaser has agreed to utilize the railcars on a preferential basis, and we are entitled to re-market the railcar units when they are not being utilized by the purchaser during the obligation period. Any earnings generated from the railcar units will offset the obligation and be recognized as revenue and margin in future periods. We believe our actual obligation will be less than the $13.1 million. Upon delivery of the railcar units, the entire purchase price was recorded as revenue and paid in full. The minimum earnings due to the purchaser are considered a reduction of revenue and were recorded as deferred revenue. As of February 28, 2010, $9.1 million of the potential obligation remained in deferred revenue.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires judgment on the part of management to arrive at estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. These estimates may affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities within the financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are periodically evaluated and may be adjusted in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income taxes - For financial reporting purposes, income tax expense is estimated based on planned tax return filings. The amounts anticipated to be reported in those filings may change between the time the financial statements are prepared and the time the tax returns are filed. Further, because tax filings are subject to review by taxing authorities, there is also the risk that a position taken in preparation of a tax return may be challenged by a taxing authority. If the taxing authority is successful in asserting a position different than that taken by us, differences in tax expense or between current and deferred tax items may arise in future periods. Such differences, which could have a material impact on our financial statements, would be reflected in the financial statements when management considers them probable of occurring and the amount reasonably estimable. Valuation allowances reduce deferred tax assets to an amount that will more likely than not be realized. Our estimates of the realization of deferred tax assets is based on the information available at the time the financial statements are prepared and may include estimates of future income and other assumptions that are inherently uncertain.

Maintenance obligations - We are responsible for maintenance on a portion of the managed and owned lease fleet under the terms of maintenance obligations defined in the underlying lease or management agreement. The estimated maintenance liability is based on maintenance histories for each type and age of railcar. These estimates involve judgment as to the future costs of repairs and the types and timing of repairs required over the lease term. As we cannot predict with certainty the prices, timing and volume of maintenance needed in the future on railcars under long-term leases, this estimate is uncertain and could be materially different from maintenance requirements. The liability is periodically reviewed and updated based on maintenance trends and known future repair or refurbishment

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

requirements. These adjustments could be material due to the inherent uncertainty in predicting future maintenance requirements.

Warranty accruals - Warranty costs to cover a defined warranty period are estimated and charged to operations. The estimated warranty cost is based on historical warranty claims for each particular product type. For new product types without a warranty history, preliminary estimates are based on historical information for similar product types.

These estimates are inherently uncertain as they are based on historical data for existing products and judgment for new products. If warranty claims are made in the current period for issues that have not historically been the subject of warranty claims and were not taken into consideration in establishing the accrual or if claims for issues already considered in establishing the accrual exceed expectations, warranty expense may exceed the accrual for that particular product. Conversely, there is the possibility that claims may be lower than estimates. The warranty accrual is periodically reviewed and updated based on warranty trends. However, as we cannot predict future claims, the potential exists for the difference in any one reporting period to be material.

Revenue recognition - Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Railcars are generally manufactured, repaired or refurbished under firm orders from third parties. Revenue is recognized when new or refurbished railcars are completed, accepted by an unaffiliated customer and contractual contingencies removed. Marine revenues are either recognized on the percentage of completion method during the construction period or on the completed contract method based on terms of the contract. Cash payments received in advance prior to meeting revenue recognition criteria are accounted for in deferred revenue. Direct finance lease revenue is recognized over the lease term in a manner that produces a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Operating lease revenue is recognized as earned under the lease terms. Certain leases are operated under car hire arrangements whereby revenue is earned based on utilization, car hire rates and terms specified in the lease agreement. Car hire revenue is reported from a third party source two months in arrears; however, such revenue is accrued in the month earned based on estimates of use from historical activity and is adjusted to actual as reported. Such adjustments historically have not differed significantly from the estimate.

Impairment of long-lived assets - When changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of certain long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the assets are evaluated for impairment. If the forecasted undiscounted future net cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the assets to fair value is recognized in the current period. These estimates are based on the best information available at the time of the impairment and could be materially different if circumstances change.

Goodwill and acquired intangible assets - The Company periodically acquires businesses in purchase transactions in which the allocation of the purchase price may result in the recognition of goodwill and other intangible assets. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates affect the amount of future period amortization and possible impairment charges.

We perform a goodwill impairment test annually during the third quarter. Goodwill is also tested more frequently if changes in circumstances or the occurrence of events indicates that a potential impairment exists. The provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other , require that we perform a two-step impairment test on goodwill. In the first step, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. We determine the fair value of our reporting units based on a weighting of income and market approaches. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on observed market multiples for comparable businesses. The second step of the goodwill impairment test is required only in situations where the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value as determined in the first step. In the second step we would compare the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying value. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of a reporting unit to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the amounts assigned to its assets and liabilities is the implied fair value of goodwill. An impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill. The goodwill balance as of February 28, 2010 of $137.1 million

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

relates to the Refurbishment & Parts segment. Goodwill was tested as of February 28, 2010 and the Company concluded that goodwill was not impaired.

Loss contingencies — On certain railcar contracts the total cost to produce the railcar may exceed the actual fixed or determinable contractual sale price of the railcar. When the anticipated loss on production of railcars in backlog is both probable and estimable the Company will accrue a loss contingency. These estimates are based on the best information available at the time of the accrual and may be adjusted at a later date to reflect actual costs.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended February 28, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended February 28, 2009

Overview

Total revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $200.0 million, a decrease of $87.1 million from revenues of $287.1 million in the prior comparable period. Net loss attributable to controlling interest for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $4.8 million or $0.28 per diluted common share compared to net loss attributable to controlling interest of $7.5 million or $0.45 per diluted common share for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The net loss attributable to controlling interest for the three months ended February 28, 2010 included noncash charges aggregating $2.1 million pre-tax, $1.3 million net of tax or $0.08 per diluted common share. These charges consist of warrant amortization expense and amortization of convertible debt discount related to the adoption of ASC 470-20. The net loss attributable to controlling interest for the three months ended February 28, 2009 included $1.0 million pre-tax, $0.6 million net of tax or $0.03 per diluted common share of noncash amortization expense of the convertible debt discount related to the adoption of ASC 470-20.

Manufacturing Segment

Manufacturing revenue includes results from new railcar and marine production. New railcar delivery information includes all facilities.

Manufacturing revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $88.1 million compared to $145.6 million in the corresponding prior period, a decrease of $57.5 million. New railcar deliveries were approximately 800 units in the current period compared to approximately 1,300 in the prior comparable period. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of lower railcar deliveries, a change in product mix with lower per unit sales prices and decreased marine revenues. Prior year revenues were negatively impacted by the accrual of a $9.9 million obligation of guaranteed minimum earnings under a certain contract.

Manufacturing margin as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was 7.3% compared to a negative margin of 4.4% for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of a more favorable product mix and improved production efficiencies. These increases were partially offset by less efficient absorption of overhead due to operating at lower levels of production and plant utilization. The prior period was negatively impacted by a $9.9 million obligation of guaranteed minimum earnings under a certain contract, $0.7 million in loss accruals on future production and severance of $0.6 million.

Refurbishment & Parts Segment

Refurbishment & Parts revenue of $94.3 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 decreased by $27.4 million from revenue of $121.7 million in the prior comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes across all product and service types due to the current economic environment.

Refurbishment & Parts margin as a percentage of revenue was essentially unchanged at 11.6% for the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to 11.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2009.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

Leasing & Services Segment

Leasing & Services revenue decreased $2.3 million to $17.6 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The change was primarily a result of lower lease fleet utilization, reduced lease rates and rate adjustments on a management contract.

Pre-tax gains on sale of $0.1 million were realized on the disposition of leased equipment, consistent with the prior comparable period. Assets from Greenbrier’s lease fleet are periodically sold in the normal course of business in order to take advantage of market conditions, manage risk and maintain liquidity.

Leasing & Services margin as a percentage of revenue was 38.5% and 41.9% for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of lower lease fleet utilization, lower earnings on certain car hire utilization leases and rate adjustments on management contracts.

The percent of owned units on lease as of February 28, 2010 was 92.4% compared to 94.3% at February 28, 2009.

Other Costs

Selling and administrative expense was $17.0 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 compared to $16.3 million for the comparable prior period, an increase of $0.7 million. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation expense associated with our on-going Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) improvement projects, increased travel expenses and increased costs of our Mexican joint venture due to higher activity levels. These were partially offset by lower employee related costs.

Interest and foreign exchange increased $3.3 million to $12.4 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010, compared to $9.1 million in the prior comparable period.


(In thousands)	Three Months Ended

	$	12,406	$	9,146		$	3,260

Amortization expense for warrants associated with the $75.0 million term loan issued in June 2009 was $1.1 million. Interest and other expense increased $0.6 million due to the accrual of interest associated with the recording of certain tax reserves.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was a benefit of $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009. The provision for income taxes is based on projected consolidated results of operations and geographical mix of earnings for the entire year which results in an estimated 30.8% annual effective tax rate on pre-tax results for fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rate fluctuates from year to year due to the geographical mix of pre-tax earnings and losses, minimum tax requirements in certain local jurisdictions and operating results for certain operations with no related tax effect. The actual tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was 18.2% as compared to 18.3% in the prior comparable period. The actual rate of 18.2% differs from the estimated annual effective rate of 30.8% due to revisions to our projected annual effective tax rate and $1.3 million in liabilities that were recorded for uncertain tax positions.

Six Months Ended February 28, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended February 28, 2009

Overview

Total revenues for the six months ended February 28, 2010 were $371.6 million, a decrease of $171.7 million from revenues of $543.3 million in the prior comparable period. Net loss attributable to controlling interest of $8.0 million or $0.47 per diluted common share for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to net loss attributable to controlling interest of $11.4 million or $0.68 per diluted common share for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The net loss attributable to controlling interest for the six months ended February 28, 2010 included noncash charges aggregating $4.3 million pre-tax, $2.6 million net of tax or $0.15 per diluted common share. These charges consist of warrant amortization expense and amortization of convertible debt discount related to the adoption of ASC 470-20. The net loss attributable to controlling interest for the six months ended February 28, 2009 included $1.9 million pre-tax, $1.1 million net of tax or $0.07 per diluted common share of noncash amortization expense of the convertible debt discount related to the adoption of ASC 470-20.

Manufacturing Segment

Manufacturing revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was $148.1 million compared to $248.3 million in the corresponding prior period, a decrease of $100.2 million. New railcar deliveries were approximately 1,100 units in the current period compared to approximately 2,100 in the prior comparable period. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of lower railcar deliveries and a change in product mix with lower per unit sales prices. Prior year revenue was negatively impacted by a $9.9 million obligation of guaranteed minimum earnings under a certain contract.

Manufacturing margin as a percentage of revenue for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was 7.2% compared to a negative 4.3% for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The increase was primarily the result of a more favorable product mix and improved production efficiencies. Prior year was negatively impacted by a $9.9 million obligation of guaranteed minimum earnings under a certain contract, $1.1 million in loss accruals on future production and severance of $0.7 million.

Refurbishment & Parts Segment

Refurbishment & Parts revenue of $187.3 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 decreased by $66.7 million from revenue of $254.0 million in the prior comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volumes across all product and service types and a decline in the price for scrap metal, both due to the current economic environment.

Refurbishment & Parts margin as a percentage of revenue was 11.0% for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to 10.7% for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The slight increase was primarily the result of cost reduction efforts.

Leasing & Services Segment

Leasing & Services revenue decreased $4.8 million to $36.2 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to $41.0 million for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of lower rent generated from the lease fleet offset slightly by higher gains on sale of assets from the lease fleet.

Pre-tax gains on sale of $0.9 million were realized on the disposition of leased equipment, compared to $0.4 million in the prior comparable period. Assets from Greenbrier’s lease fleet are periodically sold in the normal course of business in order to take advantage of market conditions, manage risk and maintain liquidity.

Leasing & Services margin as a percentage of revenue decreased to 40.0% for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to 42.8% for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The decrease was primarily a result of lower lease fleet utilization and lower earnings on certain car hire utilization leases. This was partially offset by increased gains on sales of assets from the lease fleet which has no associated cost of revenue.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

Other Costs

Selling and administrative costs were $33.2 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to $32.2 million for the comparable prior period, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily due to higher depreciation expense associated with our on-going ERP improvement projects and increased costs of our Mexican joint venture due to higher activity levels. These were partially offset by lower employee related costs. The prior period included a reversal of $2.1 million of certain accruals, which was partially offset by severance costs of $0.8 million related to reductions in work force.

Interest and foreign exchange expense was $23.5 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010, compared to $20.9 million in the prior comparable period.


(In thousands)	Six Months Ended
	February 28,				Increase

Foreign exchange loss		922		477		445

	$	23,517	$	20,917	$	2,600

Warrant amortization expense was $2.2 million associated with the $75.0 million term loan issued in June 2009. Interest and other expense decreased due to declines in interest rates and lower outstanding borrowings. This was partially offset by $0.6 million of interest associated with certain tax accruals.

Income Tax

The provision for income taxes was a benefit of $3.4 million and $6.6 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. The provision for income taxes is based on projected consolidated results of operations and geographic mix of earnings for the entire year which resulted in an estimated 30.8% annual effective tax rate on pre-tax income for fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rate fluctuates from year to year due to the geographical mix of pre-tax earnings and losses, minimum tax requirements in certain local jurisdictions and operating results for certain operations with no related tax benefit. The actual tax rate for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was 31.7% as compared to 34.7% in the prior comparable period. The actual rate of 31.7% differs from the estimated effective rate of 30.8% due to revisions to our projected geographic mix of earnings, the reversal of $0.8 million in liabilities for uncertain tax positions for which we are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities and $1.3 million in liabilities that were recorded for uncertain tax positions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Subsequent to quarter end we received a tax refund of $14.1 million as a result of recent changes in the tax laws which allowed us to carry losses back a total of five years.

We have been financed through cash generated from operations and borrowings. During the six months ended February 28, 2010, cash decreased $8.3 million to $67.9 million from $76.2 million at August 31, 2009.

Cash provided by operations for the six months ended February 28, 2010 was $7.8 million compared to $55.8 million for the six months ended February 28, 2009. The change was primarily due to timing of working capital needs including purchases of railcars held for sale, timing of inventory purchases and varying customer payment terms.

Cash used in investing activities was $16.8 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to $13.3 million in the prior comparable period. Cash usage was primarily for capital expenditures.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

Capital expenditures totaled $19.6 million and $15.1 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. Of these capital expenditures, approximately $12.9 million and $6.6 million were attributable to Leasing & Services operations for the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009. Leasing & Services capital expenditures for 2010, net of proceeds from sales of equipment, are expected to be $8.0 million depending on market conditions and fleet management objectives. We regularly sell assets from our lease fleet, some of which may have been purchased within the current year and included in capital expenditures. Proceeds from the sale of equipment were $3.1 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009.

Approximately $1.6 million and $6.8 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 were attributable to manufacturing operations. Capital expenditures for manufacturing operations are expected to be approximately $7.0 million in 2010 and primarily relate to maintenance of existing equipment and ERP implementation.

Refurbishment & Parts capital expenditures for the six months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 were $5.1 million and $1.7 million and are expected to be approximately $16.0 million in 2010 for maintenance of existing facilities and equipment, ERP implementation and replacement facilities.

Cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the six months ended February 28, 2010 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5.7 million in the six months ended February 28, 2009. During the six months ended February 28, 2010 we repaid $4.0 million in term debt. This was partially offset by $1.7 million received in net proceeds from a new term loan borrowing and $1.5 million in net proceeds under revolving credit lines. In the prior period, we received $11.3 million in net proceeds from borrowings under revolving credit lines and repaid $7.4 in term debt.

All amounts originating in foreign currency have been translated at the February 28, 2010 exchange rate for the following discussion. As of February 28, 2010 senior secured credit facilities, consisting of three components, aggregated $124.5 million. As of February 28, 2010 a $100.0 million revolving line of credit, maturing November 2011, was available to provide working capital and interim financing of equipment, principally for the United States and Mexican operations. Advances under this revolving credit facility bear interest at variable rates that depend on the type of borrowing and the defined ratio of debt to total capitalization. In addition, current lines of credit totaling $18.8 million, with various variable rates, are available for working capital needs of the European manufacturing operation. European credit facilities are continually being renewed. Currently these European credit facilities have maturities that range from April 2010 through August 2010. Our Mexican joint venture obtained a line of credit of $5.7 million secured by certain of the joint venture’s accounts receivable and inventory. Advances under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.0% and are due 180 days after the date of borrowing. Currently the outstanding borrowings have maturities that range from July 2010 to August 2010. As of February 28, 2010 outstanding borrowings under our facilities consists of $3.8 million in letters of credit outstanding under the North American credit facility, $11.6 million in revolving notes outstanding under the European credit facilities and $5.7 million under the Mexican joint venture credit facility.

The revolving and operating lines of credit, along with notes payable, contain covenants with respect to the Company and various subsidiaries, the most restrictive of which, among other things, limit the ability to: incur additional indebtedness or guarantees; pay dividends or repurchase stock; enter into sale leaseback transactions; create liens; sell assets; engage in transactions with affiliates, including joint ventures and non U.S. subsidiaries, including but not limited to loans, advances, equity investments and guarantees; enter into mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all the Company’s assets; and enter into new lines of business. The covenants also require certain maximum ratios of debt to total capitalization and minimum levels of fixed charges (interest plus rent) coverage.

Available borrowings under our credit facilities are generally based on defined levels of inventory, receivables, property, plant and equipment and leased equipment, as well as total debt to consolidated capitalization and interest coverage ratios which, as of February 28, 2010 would allow for maximum additional borrowing of $108.1 million. The Company has an aggregate of $103.4 million available to draw down under the committed credit facilities as of February 28, 2010. This amount consists of $96.2 million available on the North American credit facility and $7.2 million on the European credit facilities.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.

We have operations in Mexico and Poland that conduct business in their local currencies as well as other regional currencies. To mitigate the exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect the margin on a portion of forecast foreign currency sales.

Foreign operations give rise to risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Greenbrier utilizes foreign currency forward exchange contracts with established financial institutions to hedge a portion of that risk. No provision has been made for credit loss due to counterparty non-performance.

Greenbrier has financed the working capital needs of our Mexican joint venture through a secured, interest bearing loan. The balance of the loan was $25.0 million as of February 28, 2010. Subsequent to quarter end our joint venture made an additional loan payment reducing the balance of the loan to $22.0 million. As a result of the $3.0 million repayment, we expect to make a prepayment of $1.5 million on the secured term loan with affiliates WL Ross & Co. LLC during the third quarter.

In accordance with customary business practices in Europe, we have $10.5 million in bank and third party performance and warranty guarantee facilities, all of which have been utilized as of February 28, 2010. To date no amounts have been drawn under these performance and warranty guarantees.

Quarterly dividends were suspended as of the third quarter 2009. A quarterly dividend of $.04 per share was declared during the second quarter of 2009. Quarterly dividends of $.08 per share were declared each quarter from the fourth quarter of 2005 through the first quarter of 2009.

We have advanced $0.5 million in long-term advances to an unconsolidated subsidiary which are secured by accounts receivable and inventory. As of February 28, 2010, this same unconsolidated subsidiary had $1.7 million in third party debt for which we have guaranteed 33% or approximately $0.6 million. The facility has been idled and expects to restart production when demand returns. We, along with our partners, have made an additional equity investment during the first quarter of 2010, our share of which was $0.5 million. Additional investments may be required later in the year.

We expect existing funds and cash generated from operations, together with proceeds from financing activities including borrowings under existing credit facilities and long-term financings, to be sufficient to fund working capital needs, planned capital expenditures and expected debt repayments for the foreseeable future.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have off balance sheet arrangements that have or are likely to have a material current or future effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have operations in Mexico, Germany and Poland that conduct business in their local currencies as well as other regional currencies. To mitigate the exposure to transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of each entity, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts to protect the margin on a portion of forecast foreign currency sales. At February 28, 2010, $38.8 million of forecast sales in Europe were hedged by foreign exchange contracts. Because of the variety of currencies in which purchases and sales are transacted and the interaction between currency rates, it is not possible to predict the impact a movement in a single foreign currency exchange rate would have on future operating results. We believe the exposure to foreign exchange risk is not material.

In addition to exposure to transaction gains or losses, we are also exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to the net asset position of our foreign subsidiaries. At February 28, 2010, net assets of foreign subsidiaries aggregated $27.3 million and a 10% strengthening of the United States dollar relative to the foreign currencies would result in a decrease in stockholders’ equity controlling interest of $2.7 million, 1.3% of total stockholders’ equity controlling interest. This calculation assumes that each exchange rate would change in the same direction relative to the United States dollar.

Interest Rate Risk

We have managed a portion of our variable rate debt with interest rate swap agreements, effectively converting $46.3 million of variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. As a result, we are exposed to interest rate risk relating to our revolving debt and a portion of term debt, which are at variable rates. At February 28, 2010, 66% of our debt has fixed rates and 34% has variable rates. At February 28, 2010, a uniform 10% increase in interest rates would result in approximately $0.6 million of additional annual interest expense.
