NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of GATX Corporation and its
subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by these accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended
March 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the entire
year ending December 31, 2011. In particular, ASC’s fleet is generally inactive for a significant
portion of the first quarter of each year due to the winter conditions on the Great Lakes. In
addition, the timing of asset remarketing income is dependent, in part, on market conditions and,
therefore, does not occur evenly from period to period. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2010, as set forth
in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”).
Accounting Adjustment
During the first quarter of 2010, the Company discovered a clerical error in the preparation
of its Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009. The error resulted in a $13.1 million
overstatement in each of cash and cash equivalents; accounts payable and accrued expenses; and net
cash provided by operating activities. Management has determined that the effect of this error is
immaterial and adjusted its Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in
2010 to correct this error.
