CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE “SAFE HARBOR” PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions in our industry, our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business and growth strategy and service development efforts. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements so long as such information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “may,” “might,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “believe” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 8, 2012 and our other reports filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Reference is also made to such risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

The Company and Nature of Operations

Organization

CAI International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, CAI or the Company) operates primarily in the international intermodal marine cargo container leasing business. The Company also owns a fleet of railcars, which it leases in North America. The Company generates revenue from two reportable segments: equipment leasing and container management. The equipment leasing segment specializes primarily in the ownership and leasing of intermodal containers, while the container management segment manages containers for container investors. The Company leases its containers principally to international container shipping lines located throughout the world. The Company sells containers primarily to investor groups and provides management services to those investors in return for a management fee.
 
The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CAP”. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and the Company’s cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  The results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows which may be reported for the remainder of 2012 or in any future period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 8, 2012.

Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
 
(a)
Accounting Policies
 
The Company depreciates its rental equipment over its estimated useful life to its estimated fixed residual value using the straight line method of depreciation. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company completed a review of historical disposal experience relating to its fleet of container equipment and concluded that the estimated residual values and depreciable lives used in its depreciation calculations should be amended effective January 1, 2012. The following table shows the current and prior residual values and depreciable lives that the Company adopted for each type of equipment:

CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The residual values, which range from $1,000 to $3,500, and depreciable lives, of between 12.5 years and 15 years, for other specialized containers remain unchanged.

The above changes reduced the Company’s depreciation expense and increased pre-tax income by approximately $2.1 million and $5.8 million, increased net income by approximately $1.9 million and $5.0 million, and increased diluted earnings per share by $0.10 and $0.25 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

 Railcar equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life of between 40 and 43 years, to its estimated residual value using the straight-line method.

There were no other changes to the Company’s accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2012.

 
(b)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance to increase the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. Under this guidance, an entity has the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. The option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity has been eliminated. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The implementation of the accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(3)
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities as a Non-Controlling Interest
 
The Company regularly performs a review of its container fund arrangements with investors to determine whether a fund is a variable interest entity (VIE) and whether the Company has a variable interest that provides it with a controlling financial interest and is the primary beneficiary of the VIE in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation.  If the fund is determined to be a VIE, a further analysis is performed to determine if the Company is a primary beneficiary of the VIE and meets both of the following criteria under Paragraph 14A of ASC 810:
 
            
It has power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and
 
            
It has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
 
If in the Company’s judgment both of the above criteria are met, the VIE’s financial statements are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as required under ASC 810. The equity attributable to the VIE is shown as a non-controlling interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and the after tax result attributable to its operations is shown as a net income or loss attributable to non-controlling interest on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
 
The Company currently enters into two types of container fund arrangements with investors which are reviewed under ASC 810. These arrangements include container funds that the Company manages for investors and container funds that have entered into financing arrangements with investors. Included among several of the funds that the Company manages, and all of the funds under financing arrangements, are Japanese container funds that were established by a related party under separate investment agreements allowed under Japanese commercial laws (see Note 11). Each of the funds is financed by unrelated Japanese third party investors.

CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
Managed Container Funds

All container funds under management by the Company are considered VIEs because as manager of the funds, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance including the leasing and managing of containers owned by the funds. With the exception of two specific Japanese funds established in September 2010, the fees earned for arranging, managing and establishing the funds are not significant to the expected returns of the funds so the Company does not have a variable interest in the funds. The rights to receive benefits and obligations to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the funds belong to the third party investors, so the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the funds. With the exception of the sale of containers to the two Japanese funds established in September 2010, the Company recognizes gain on sale of containers to the unconsolidated VIEs as sales in the ordinary course of business. No containers were sold to the Japanese VIEs during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company sold $10.3 million of container portfolios to the Japanese VIEs and recognized gains of $1.3 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold $12.2 million and $24.9 million, respectively, of container portfolios and recognized gains on sale of $0.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
 
In September 2010, the Company transferred approximately $16.0 million of containers to two specific Japanese funds that are considered VIEs. The terms of the transaction included options for the Company to purchase the containers from the funds at a fixed price. As a result of the residual interest resulting from the fixed price call option, the Company concluded that it may absorb a significant amount of the variability associated with the funds’ anticipated economic performance and as a result the Company has a variable interest in the funds. As the Company had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the variable interest provides the Company with the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the funds, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these two specific VIEs and included the VIEs’ assets and liabilities, results of operations and cash flows in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The container equipment, cash held by the container funds and net investment in direct finance leases, were included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet with the offsetting equity related to the funds presented separately as non-controlling interest.
 
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company terminated its management agreements with the two Japanese VIEs and purchased all the container equipment legally owned by them. As the Company previously consolidated these two Japanese VIEs, the purchase of the containers was considered a repurchase of the non-controlling interest for accounting purposes. The company paid cash of $15.3 million and contributed cash and other assets from the two Japanese VIEs of $4.2 million in consideration for the non-controlling interest of $19.5 million.   No gain or loss was recognized by the Company upon the repurchase of the non-controlling interest and subsequent deconsolidation of the two Japanese VIEs.   The results of the VIEs’ operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income until the date of deconsolidation.  Net income of $0.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, attributable to the two Japanese funds is presented as net income attributable to non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Collateralized Financing Obligations

In November 2011, June 2012 and September 2012, the Company transferred container portfolios to Japanese investor funds while concurrently entering into lease agreements for the same containers, under which the Company will lease the containers back from the Japanese investors.  In accordance with ASC 840, Sale-Leaseback Transactions, the Company concluded these were financing transactions under which sale-leaseback accounting was not applicable.

The container funds under financing arrangements are considered VIEs under ASC 810 because as lessee of the funds, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each entity’s economic performance including the leasing and managing of containers owned by the funds. The terms of the transactions include options for the Company to purchase the containers from the funds at a fixed price. As a result of the residual interest resulting from the fixed price call option, the Company concluded that it may absorb a significant amount of the variability associated with the funds’ anticipated economic performance and as a result the Company has a variable interest in the funds. As the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIEs and the variable interest provides the Company with the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the funds, the Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and included the VIEs’ assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the results of the VIE’s operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and the cash flows of the VIEs for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company recorded the $53.4 million investment received from the third party Japanese investors as collateralized financing obligations in the debt section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.  As of December 31, 2011, the debt related to the collateralized financing obligations was included in capital lease obligations in the accompanying balance sheet.  See Note 6(e). No gain or loss was recognized by the Company on the initial consolidation of the VIEs.

(1)
At the inception of the lease, the Company records the total minimum lease payments, executory costs, if any, and unguaranteed residual value as gross finance lease receivables. The gross finance lease receivable is reduced as customer payments are received.  Approximately $7.7 million and $6.3 million of unguaranteed residual value at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were included in gross finance lease receivables. There were no executory costs included in gross finance lease receivables as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
 
 
(2)
The difference between the gross finance lease receivable and the cost of the equipment or carrying amount at the lease inception is recorded as unearned income. Unearned income together with initial direct costs, are amortized to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return. There were no unamortized initial direct costs as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

In order to estimate the allowance for losses contained in the gross finance lease receivables, the Company reviews the credit worthiness of its customers on an ongoing basis. The review includes monitoring credit quality indicators, the aging of customer receivables and general economic conditions.

The categories of gross finance lease receivables based on the Company's internal customer credit ratings can be described as follows:
 
Tier 1— These customers are typically large international shipping lines that have been in business for many years and have world-class operating capabilities and significant financial resources. In most cases, the Company has had a long commercial relationship with these customers and currently maintains regular communication with them at several levels of management, which provides the Company with insight into the customer's current operating and financial performance. In the Company's view, these customers have the greatest ability to withstand cyclical down turns and would likely have greater access to needed capital than lower-rated customers. The Company views the risk of default for Tier 1 customers to range from minimal to modest.
 
Tier 2— These customers are typically either smaller shipping lines or freight forwarders with less operating scale or with a high degree of financial leverage, and accordingly the Company views these customers as subject to higher volatility in financial performance over the business cycle. The Company generally expects these customers to have less access to capital markets or other sources of financing during cyclical down turns. The Company views the risk of default for Tier 2 customers as moderate.
 
Tier 3— Customers in this category exhibit volatility in payments on a regular basis.

Based on the above categories, the Company’s gross finance lease receivables were as follows (in thousands):

During the first quarter of 2012, the company revised its criteria for categorizing gross finance lease receivables as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 to better reflect its assessment of customer credit quality. The change did not have an effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has conformed its presentation of gross finance lease receivables as of December 31, 2011 with the revised criteria for assessing customer credit quality.

The agreements relating to all of the Company’s debt contain various financial and other covenants. As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

            
(a)
Revolving Credit Facilities

Revolving credit facilities consist of the following:

(i) The Company has a revolving line of credit agreement with a consortium of banks to finance the acquisition of container rental equipment and for general working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2012, the maximum commitment under the revolving line of credit was $495.0 million. The Company’s revolving credit facility may be increased up to a maximum of $675.0 million without lender approval so long as no default or event of default exists either before or immediately after giving effect to the increase. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused amount of the total commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. The agreement provides that swing line loans (short-term borrowings of up to $10.0 million in the aggregate that are payable within 10 business days or at maturity date, whichever comes earlier) and standby letters of credit (up to $15.0 million in the aggregate) will be available to the Company. These credit commitments are part of, and not in addition to, the total commitment provided under the agreement. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the revolving credit agreement.  In addition to various financial and other covenants, the Company’s revolving line of credit also includes certain restrictions on the Company’s ability to incur other indebtedness or pay dividends to stockholders.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the revolving credit facility.
 
As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $173.9 million in availability under the revolving credit facility (net of $0.1 million in letters of credit) subject to its ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreement governing the facility. The entire amount of the facility drawn at any time plus accrued interest and fees is callable on demand in the event of certain specified events of default.
 
The Company’s revolving credit facility, including any amounts drawn on the facility, is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company (not otherwise used as security for its other credit facilities) including the containers owned by the Company, the underlying leases thereon and the Company’s interest in any money received under such contracts.

(ii)  On June 7, 2012, CAI and CAI Rail Inc. (CAI Rail), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a revolving credit agreement with a consortium of banks to finance the acquisition of railcars.  As of September 30, 2012, the maximum credit commitment under the revolving line of credit was $85.0 million.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at a variable rate. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the revolving credit agreement.  For domestic base rate loans, the interest rate is equal to the highest of (i) the daily federal funds open rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (ii) the administrative agent’s published “Reference Rate”, in each case plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% based on certain conditions.

(b)
Term Loans

Term loans consist of the following:
 
(i) On August 20, 2009, the Company signed a $10.0 million five-year loan agreement with the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ). The loan is payable in 19 quarterly installments of $0.2 million starting October 31, 2009 and a final payment of $6.2 million on July 31, 2014. The loan bears a variable interest rate based on LIBOR. As of September 30, 2012, the loan had a balance of $7.6 million.
 
(ii) On December 20, 2010, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with a consortium of banks. Under this loan agreement, the Company was eligible to borrow up to $300.0 million, subject to certain borrowing conditions, which amount is secured by certain assets of the Company’s wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries.  The loan agreement is an amortizing facility with a term of six years.  Quarterly payments of principal for the $185.0 million initially borrowed are $3.7 million each (i.e. 2.0% of the drawn amount) for the first 23 quarterly payment dates with a final payment of $99.9 million (54.0% of the drawn amount) due on December 20, 2016.  The quarterly payments of principal on the additional draw downs (each determined separately) are an amount equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing 46.0% by the number of remaining scheduled principal payment dates as of the drawdown date and (y) the initial principal balance of such term loan, with a final payment due on December 20, 2016 of 54.0% of the initial principal balance of such term loan. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar rate loans, as defined in the term loan agreement. The loan bears a variable interest rate based on LIBOR for Eurodollar loans, and Base Rate for base rate loans.  The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal), and (iii) the Eurodollar rate (for three-month loans) plus 1.0%. The proceeds from this borrowing were used to pay down part of the Company’s borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, the loan had a balance of $261.9 million.
 
(iii) On April 11, 2012, the Company entered into a term loan agreement with a consortium of banks. The agreement provides for a five year term loan of up to $60.0 million, subject to certain borrowing conditions, which amount is secured by certain assets of the Company. On June 15, 2012, the maximum commitment under the term loan was increased to $80.0 million. The commitment under the loan may be increased to a maximum of $200.0 million under certain conditions described in the agreement. The outstanding principal amounts under the term loan bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%, amortized quarterly, and require quarterly payments equal to 1.75% multiplied by the outstanding principal amount at such time. The facility contains various financial and other covenants. The full $80.0 million has been drawn and was primarily used to repay outstanding amounts under the revolving credit facility. All unpaid amounts then outstanding are due and payable on April 11, 2017.  As of September 30, 2012, the loan had a balance of $79.0 million.

            
(c)
Senior Secured Notes

On September 13, 2012, Container Applications Limited (CAL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which CAL issued $103.0 million of its 4.90% Senior Secured Notes due September 13, 2022 (the Notes) to the investors. The Notes are guaranteed by the Company and secured by certain assets of CAL and the Company.

The Notes bear interest at 4.9% per annum, due and payable semiannually on March 13 and September 13 of each year, commencing on March 13, 2013.  In addition, CAL is required to make certain principal payments on March 13 and September 13 of each year, commencing on March 13, 2013.  Any unpaid principal and interest is due and payable on September 13, 2022.  The Note Purchase Agreement provides that CAL may prepay at any time all or any part of the Notes in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

The proceeds from the note were used to repay the Company’s asset backed warehouse credit facility of $100.0 million (see Note 6(d)) and the remaining $3.0 million was used for working capital purposes.  As of September 30, 2012, the Notes had a balance of $103.0 million.

Stock options granted to independent directors vest in one year. The estimated fair value of stock options granted to employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $0.9 million, or $8.46 per option share, and $2.2 million, or $12.44 per option share, respectively.

As the Company has insufficient historical data, the expected option term is calculated using the simplified method in accordance with SEC guidance. In the absence of sufficient historical data, 50% of the assumed volatility factor used in the calculation was derived from the average volatility of common shares for similar companies over a period approximating the expected term of the options. The remaining 50% of the assumed volatility factor was derived from the average volatility of the Company’s common shares since their initial public offering in 2007.  The risk-free rate is based on daily U.S. Treasury yield curve with a term approximating the expected term of the option. No forfeiture was estimated on all options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 as management believes that the impact of grantees leaving the Company within the option vesting period will be insignificant.
 
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.3 million in both the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, and $0.9 million in both the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.  As of September 30, 2012, the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation cost relating to stock options granted to the Company’s employees was approximately $2.4 million which is to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 2.8 years. Unamortized stock-based compensation cost relating to independent directors’ options as of September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.2 million which is to be recognized over a remaining weighted average vesting period of approximately 8 months. The aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding as of September 30, 2012 was $10.3 million based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $20.52 per share on September 28, 2012, the last trading day of the quarter.

Stock-based compensation expense is recorded as a component of marketing, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes
 
The consolidated income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was determined based upon estimates of the Company’s consolidated effective income tax rates for the years ending December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The difference between the consolidated effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily attributable to state income taxes, foreign income taxes and the effect of certain permanent differences.
 
The Company’s effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were 11.1% and 13.0%, respectively, compared to 20.6% and 18.2%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Movements in the effective tax rates are due primarily to changes in the proportion of the Company’s U.S. and overseas earnings.
 
The Company recognizes in the financial statements a liability for tax uncertainty if it is more likely than not that the position will not be sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million, which if recognized, would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate. Total accrued interest relating to unrecognized tax benefits was less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2012. The Company does not believe the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2012 will increase or decrease significantly for the remainder of 2012.

In June 2012, the Company received notification from the IRS that the 2008 and 2009 U.S. tax returns have been selected for examination.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s collateralized financing obligations of $53.4 million and capital lease obligations of $8.0 million as of September 30, 2012 were estimated to have a fair value of approximately $50.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively, based on the fair value of estimated future payments calculated using the prevailing interest rates. The fair value of these financial instruments would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  Management believes that the balances of the Company’s revolving credit facilities of $360.3 million, term loans totaling $348.4 million, senior secured notes of $103.0 million and net investment in direct finance leases of $84.0 million approximate their fair values as of September 30, 2012. The fair value of these financial instruments would be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
In addition to its debt obligations described in Note 6 above, the Company had commitments to purchase approximately $6.7 million of container equipment as of September 30, 2012. The Company also utilizes certain office facilities and equipment under long-term non-cancellable operating lease agreements with total future minimum lease payments of approximately $5.9 million as of September 30, 2012.
 
(11)
Related Party Transactions
 
The Company has transferred legal ownership of certain containers to Japanese container funds which were established by Japan Investment Adviser Co., Ltd. (JIA) and CAIJ, Inc. (CAIJ). CAIJ is an 80%-owned subsidiary of CAI with the remaining 20% owned by JIA. JIA is owned and controlled by a Managing Director of CAIJ.  Prior to the transfer of containers from the Company, the container funds received contributions from unrelated Japanese investors, under separate Japanese investment agreements allowed under Japanese commercial laws. The contributions were used to purchase container equipment from the Company. Under the terms of the agreements, the CAI-related Japanese entities manage the activities of certain Japanese entities but may outsource the whole or part of each operation to a third party. Pursuant to its services agreements with investors, the Japanese container funds have outsourced the general management of their operations to CAIJ. The Japanese container funds have also entered into equipment management service agreements and financing arrangements whereby the Company manages the leasing activity of containers owned by the Japanese container funds.
 
As described in Note 3, the Japanese managed container funds and financing arrangements are considered VIEs. However, with the exception of two specific Japanese funds and the financing arrangements described in Note 3, the Company does not consider its interest in the managed Japanese container funds to be a variable interest. As such, the Company did not consolidate the assets and liabilities, results of operations or cash flows in its consolidated financial statements.  The sale of containers to the unconsolidated Japanese VIEs has been recorded on the Company’s books as a sale in the ordinary course of business.

As described in Note 3, the Company has included in its consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities, results of operations, and cash flows of the financing arrangements, in accordance with ASC 810. The Company has also included the results of operations and cash flows of the two specific Japanese container funds up to the date of their deconsolidation, in accordance with ASC 810.

Segment Information
 
The Company operates in one industry segment, equipment leasing, but has two reportable business segments: equipment leasing and container management. The equipment leasing segment derives its revenue primarily from the ownership and leasing of containers to container shipping lines and freight forwarders. The container management segment derives its revenue from management fees earned from portfolios of containers and associated leases which are managed on behalf of container investors. The Company also derives revenue from the sale of containers to container investors who in turn enter into management agreements with the Company. There are no inter-segment revenues.
 
With the exception of amortization of intangible assets and marketing, general and administrative expenses (MG&A), operating expenses are directly attributable to the equipment leasing segment. Amortization of intangible assets relating to owned and third party contracts is charged directly to the equipment leasing segment and container management segment, respectively. The amortization of remaining intangible assets relating to the trademark is allocated to the segments based on the average number of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers in each segment during the year.

CAI INTERNATIONAL, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MG&A expenses are allocated to each segment based on either revenue or the number of TEUs in each segment, depending on the function of the department which incurred the expense, after directly assigning MG&A expenses relating to CAI Consent Sweden AB (Consent) and CAI Rail to the equipment leasing segment and MG&A expenses relating to CAIJ and CAI Deutschland GmbH to the container management segment.
 
The Company does not allocate interest income and income tax expense/benefit to its segments.
 
Total assets of the container management segment consist of managed accounts receivable, the net carrying value of the intangible asset relating to third party contracts and a portion of the intangible asset relating to trademarks (determined based on the percentage of average TEUs of managed containers to total average TEUs). The remaining balance of total assets is allocated to the equipment leasing business.
 
The following tables show condensed segment information for the Company’s equipment leasing and container management segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, reconciled to the Company’s net income before income taxes and non-controlling interest as shown in its consolidated statements of income for such periods (in thousands):

Geographic Data
 
The Company’s container lessees use containers for their global trade utilizing many worldwide trade routes. The Company earns its revenue from international carriers when the containers are in use and carrying cargo around the world. Most of the Company’s leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. Since all of the Company’s containers are used internationally and typically no container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, all of the Company’s long-lived container assets are considered to be international with no single country of use.

The Company’s railcars, with a net book value of $50.2 million as of September 30, 2012, are used primarily to transport cargo within the United States.

 Earnings Per Share
 
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock; however, potential common equivalent shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Subsequent Events

On October 18, 2012, CAL Funding II Limited, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of CAI, issued $171.0 million of 3.47% fixed rate asset-backed notes (Notes).  Principal and interest on the Notes is payable monthly commencing on November 26, 2012, and the Notes mature in October 2027.  The proceeds from the Notes were used to repay part of the Company’s borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

On October 19, 2012, CAL completed the acquisition of approximately 71,000 TEUs of container assets for a net cost of $83.6 million from Dritte Schroeder Container Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH & CO. KG and its affiliate, Schroeder Leasing GMBH & Co. KG.  Prior to the purchase, the Company managed these containers on behalf of the previous owners.

ITEM 2.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2012.  In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements.

The financial information included in this discussion and in our consolidated financial statements may not be indicative of our consolidated financial position, operating results, changes in equity and cash flows in the future.

Overview

We are one of the world’s leading container and railcar leasing and management companies. We purchase equipment, which we lease primarily to container shipping lines and either retain as part of our owned fleet or sell to container investors for whom we then provide management services. In operating our fleet, we lease, re-lease and dispose of equipment and contract for the repair, repositioning and storage of equipment. As of September 30, 2012, our fleet comprised approximately 1,061,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers and 1,400 railcars.

The following table shows the composition of our fleet as of September 30, 2012 and 2011 and our average fleet utilization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Average container fleet utilization reflects the average number of TEUs in our shipping container fleet on lease as a percentage of total TEUs available for lease. In calculating TEUs available for lease, we exclude units held for sale and units we have purchased that are held at the manufacturer.

We plan to increase the number of owned containers and railcars, as well as the number of managed containers in our fleet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we paid $306.9 million to purchase additional containers and $50.6 million to purchase railcar equipment.  We plan to invest in additional containers and railcars in the future. Our investment in containers this year has included the purchase of container portfolios from our managed fleet. We believe those investments are beneficial, however, we believe it is important to maintain a balance between the size of our owned fleet and our managed fleet in order to have multiple sources of revenue and will consider future opportunities to expand our managed fleet.

Net income attributable to CAI common stockholders
    16,528       13,622       2,906       21  

Total revenue of $44.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $12.0 million, or 36%, from $33.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a $12.9 million, or 47% increase in rental revenue. Operating expenses of $18.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $7.6 million, or 68%, from $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, mainly as a result of a $4.0 million, or 46%, increase in depreciation expense, $1.3 million, or 34% decrease in gain on disposition of used rental equipment, and $1.0 million, or 18%, increase in marketing, general and administrative expenses (MG&A). Net interest expense of $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $2.9 million, or 67%, from $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to the higher average debt balance. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the increase in operating expenses and net interest expense, and resulted in a $2.9 million, or 21%, increase in net income attributable to CAI common stockholders to $16.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Revenue. The following discussion explains the significant changes in the composition of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011:
 
Rental Revenue. Rental revenue increased $12.9 million, or 47%, to $40.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $27.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This was primarily due to a $12.1 million increase in rental revenue driven by a 44% increase in the average number of TEUs of owned containers on lease and $1.4 million of revenue from the lease of railcars by our wholly-owned subsidiary, CAI Rail Inc. (CAI Rail).
 
 Gain on Sale of Container Portfolios. There was no gain on sale of container portfolios recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as no containers were sold to investors during the period.  We sold $12.2 million of container equipment to investors and recognized a gain of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Management Fee Revenue. Management fee revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.5 million, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 19%, from $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a 13% reduction in the size of the on-lease managed container fleet.

Finance Lease Income. Finance lease income increased by $0.4 million, or 22%, to $2.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to new finance lease contracts entered into since October 1, 2011.
 
Expenses.  The following discussion explains the significant changes in expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011:
 
Depreciation of Rental Equipment. Depreciation of rental equipment increased by $4.0 million, or 46%, to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to a 46% increase in average TEUs of owned containers and the depreciation of our railcar fleet, partially offset by a $2.1 million reduction in depreciation expense resulting from the increase in residual values and useful lives of our containers effective January 1, 2012. This change increased net income attributable to CAI stockholders by approximately $1.9 million and increased diluted earnings per share by $0.10 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. We do not expect that the change in estimated residual values will have a material effect on the reported gain on disposition of equipment over the next several years since the equipment estimated to be sold during the coming years has already been substantially depreciated.  See Note 2(a) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
 
22

 
Amortization of Intangible Assets.  Amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.1 million, or 34%, to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was due to certain intangible assets that became fully amortized during the third quarter of 2011.
 
Gain on Disposition of Used Rental Equipment. Gain on disposition of used rental equipment decreased by $1.3 million, or 34%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to a 27% reduction in the volume of containers sold in the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011.
 
Storage, Handling and Other Expenses. Storage, handling and other expenses increased by $1.1 million, or 107%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due to a 22% increase in the average number of off-lease containers resulting in more containers in storage, and an increase in repairs and maintenance charges associated with our fleet of railcars during the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Marketing, General and Administrative Expense. MG&A expense increased $1.0 million, or 18%, to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $5.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to higher employee related costs.

Gain on Foreign Exchange. We recognized a loss of $0.2 million on foreign exchange transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to a gain of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2011. The loss is primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar.
 
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense increased $2.9 million, or 67%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net interest expense was due primarily to an increase in the average principal balance of our debt.
 
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.1 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 41%, from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 11.1% compared to 20.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was due primarily to a higher proportion of pretax income being generated by our foreign operations where income tax rates are lower than in the U.S.

Equipment Leasing. Total revenue from our equipment leasing segment increased $13.2 million, or 45%, to $42.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $29.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This was primarily due to a 44% increase in the average number of TEUs of owned containers on lease and $1.4 million of revenue from the lease of railcars by CAI Rail.

Total operating expenses for the equipment leasing segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $8.5 million, or 94%, to $17.5 million, from $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to a $4.0 million increase in depreciation expense resulting from the increase in the number of owned containers, a $1.3 million decrease in gain on disposition of used containers, and a $1.1 million increase in storage, handling and other expenses.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased $2.9 million, or 67%, to $7.2 million.  The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in our average debt balance resulting from increased borrowing.
 
Container Management. Total revenue of $2.5 million from our container management segment for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.3 million, or 33%, lower than the $3.7 million revenue for this segment for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in management fee revenue resulting from a reduction in the size of the on-lease managed container fleet, and a $0.7 million decrease in gain on sale of container portfolios as no containers were sold to investors in the three months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Total operating expenses for the container management segment decreased $0.9 million, or 38%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, mainly as a result of lower MG&A expense allocated to the segment during the three-month period this year.

Total revenue of $124.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $34.6 million, or 39%, from $89.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to a $33.4 million, or 45%, increase in rental revenue and a $2.5 million, or 96.4%, increase in finance lease income, partly offset by a $1.1 million, or 46%, decrease in gain on sale of container portfolios.  Operating expenses of $50.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $18.4 million, or 57%, from $32.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, mainly as a result of an $11.5 million, or 51%, increase in depreciation expense, a $3.2 million, or 21%, increase in MG&A expense, a $2.4 million, or 70%, increase in storage, handling and other expenses, and a $1.3 million, or 13%, decrease in gain on disposition of used rental equipment. Net interest expense increased $8.6 million, or 80%, to $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due to a higher average debt balance. The increase in revenue was partially offset by the increase in operating expenses and net interest expense and resulted in an $8.8 million, or 24%, increase in net income attributable CAI common stockholders to $46.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $37.3 million for the same nine-month period in 2011.
 
Revenue. The following discussion explains the significant changes in the composition of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011:
 
Rental Revenue. Rental revenue increased $33.4 million, or 45%, to $108.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $74.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was primarily due to a $30.6 million increase in rental revenue attributable to a 41% increase in the average number of TEUs of owned containers on lease and $1.5 million of revenue from the lease of railcars by CAI Rail.
 
Management Fee Revenue. Management fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $9.7 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 2%, from $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to an 11% reduction in the size of the on-lease managed container fleet, partially offset by an increase in arrangement fees earned by CAIJ, Inc. (CAIJ).
 
 Gain on Sale of Container Portfolios. Gain on sale of container portfolios decreased $1.1 million to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 46% decrease from a gain of $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to fewer containers sold to investors during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
 
 
24

 
Finance Lease Income. Finance lease income increased by $2.5 million, or 96%, to $5.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to new finance lease contracts entered into since October 1, 2011.
 
Expenses.  The following discussion explains the significant changes in expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011:
 
Depreciation of Rental Equipment. Depreciation of rental equipment increased by $11.5 million, or 51%, to $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $22.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to a 41% increase in average TEUs of owned containers and the addition of railcar equipment, partially offset by a $5.8 million reduction in depreciation expense resulting from the increase in residual values and useful life of our containers effective January 1, 2012. This change increased net income attributable to CAI stockholders by approximately $5.0 million and increased diluted earnings per share by $0.25 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We do not expect that the change in estimated residual values will have a material effect on the reported gain on disposition of equipment over the next several years since the equipment estimated to be sold during the coming years has already been substantially depreciated.  See Note 2(a) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Amortization of Intangible Assets.  Amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.3 million, or 34%, to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was due to certain intangible assets that became fully amortized during the third quarter of 2011.

Gain on Disposition of Used Rental Equipment. Gain on sale of used rental equipment decreased $1.3 million to $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 13% decrease from a gain of $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was due primarily to a 22% reduction in the volume of used containers sold in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, partially offset by higher margins on sales made in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Storage, Handling and Other Expenses. Storage, handling and other expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 70%, to $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in utilization of our owned containers has resulted in more containers in storage during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulting in higher storage, handling, and other related charges. Additionally, we incurred increased repairs and maintenance costs relating to our railcars during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Marketing, General and Administrative Expense. MG&A expense increased by $3.2 million, or 21%, to $18.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to higher personnel related costs, release of a $0.9 million bad debt reserve during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and a $0.6 million increase in professional fees that were primarily associated with CAIJ’s investor transactions in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
 
Net Interest Expense. Net interest expense of $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $8.6 million, or 80%, from $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in net interest expense was due primarily to an increase in the average principal balance of our debt.
 
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.4 million from $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was 13.0% compared to an effective tax rate of 18.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was due primarily to a higher proportion of pretax income being generated by our foreign operations where income tax rates are lower than in the U.S.

Equipment Leasing. Total revenue from our equipment leasing segment increased $35.8 million, or 46%, to $113.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $77.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a $33.4 million increase in rental revenue resulting from the increase in the average number of owned containers on lease, an increase in average per diem rental rates and revenues from CAI Rail.
 
Total operating expenses for the equipment leasing segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $19.5 million, or 76%, to $45.2 million, from $25.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to higher depreciation expense resulting from the increase in the number of owned containers, increase in storage, handling and other container related expenses as a result of a decrease in utilization, decrease in gain on sale of used container rental equipment and an increase in MG&A expense.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $8.6 million, or 80%, to $19.4 million compared to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to the increase in our average debt balance as we continued to increase our borrowings to finance our acquisition of additional rental equipment.
 
Container Management. Total revenue of $11.0 million from our container management segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased $1.2 million, or 10%, from $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, mainly as a result of decreases in management fee revenue and gain on sale of container portfolios.
 
Total operating expenses for the container management segment decreased $1.1 million, or 16%, to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, from $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of the reduction of MG&A expense allocated to the segment.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 Our principal sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, sales of container portfolios, borrowings from financial institutions and sale of our stock. We believe that cash flow from operations, future sales of container portfolios and borrowing availability under our credit facilities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months.
 
We have typically funded a significant portion of the purchase price for new containers through borrowings under our credit facilities. However, from time to time we have funded new container acquisitions through the use of working capital.

Revolving Credit Facilities
 
(i)  We have a revolving credit facility with a consortium of banks to finance the acquisition of container rental equipment and for general working capital purposes. As of September 30, 2012, the maximum commitment under our revolving credit facility was $495.0 million, which may be increased to a maximum of $675.0 million under certain conditions described in the agreement.  As of September 30, 2012, we had an outstanding balance of $321.0 million and availability of $173.9 million under our revolving credit facility (net of $0.1 million in letters of credit), subject to our ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreement governing the facility. The entire amount of the facility drawn at any time plus accrued interest and fees is callable on demand in the event of certain specified events of default.

 In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused amount of the total commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. The agreement provides that swing line loans (short-term borrowings of up to $10.0 million in the aggregate that are payable within 10 business days or at maturity date, whichever comes earlier) and standby letters of credit (up to $15.0 million in the aggregate) will be available to us. These credit commitments are part of, and not in addition to, the maximum credit commitment. The interest rates vary depending upon whether the loans are characterized as Base Rate loans or Eurodollar Rate loans as defined in the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2012 the interest rate on our revolving credit facility was 3.0%. Our revolving credit facility will expire on September 25, 2014.
 
We intend to use our revolving credit facility primarily to fund the purchase of containers in the future. As of September 30, 2012, we had commitments to purchase $6.7 million of rental equipment and had rental equipment payable of $56.9 million. We have typically used our cash flow from operations and the proceeds from sales of container portfolios to container investors to repay our revolving credit facility. As we expand our owned fleet, our revolving credit facility balance will be higher and will result in higher interest expense. In addition to customary events of default, our revolving credit facility and term loans contain restrictive covenants, including limitations on certain liens, indebtedness and investments.  In addition, all of our facilities contain certain restrictive financial covenants.  The covenants require us to maintain (1) a maximum consolidated funded debt to consolidated tangible net worth ratio of 3.75:1.00; and (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20:1.00. We were in compliance with both covenants as of September 30, 2012.
 
(ii)  On June 7, 2012, we entered into a revolving credit agreement for CAI Rail with a consortium of banks to finance the acquisition of railcars. As of September 30, 2012, the maximum credit commitment under the revolving line of credit was $85.0 million.  Borrowings under this credit facility bear interest at a variable rate. For domestic base rate loans, the interest rate is equal to the highest of (i) the daily federal funds open rate as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (ii) the administrative agent’s published “Reference Rate”, in each case plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.25% based on certain conditions.  For Eurodollar rate loans, the interest rate is equal to a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% based on certain conditions. As of September 30, 2012, the average interest rate under the agreement was 2.5%.

As of September 30, 2012, the outstanding balance under CAI Rail’s revolving credit facility was $39.3 million. As of September 30, 2012, we had $45.7 million in availability under the facility, subject to our ability to meet the collateral requirements under the agreement governing the facility. The entire amount of the facility drawn at any time plus accrued interest and fees is callable on demand in the event of certain specified events of default.

The agreement governing CAI Rail’s revolving credit facility contains various financial and other covenants. As of September 30, 2012, we were in compliance with the terms of the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility for CAI Rail will terminate on June 7, 2015.

Term Loan Facilities

(i)  On August 20, 2009, we signed a $10.0 million five-year loan agreement with the Development Bank of Japan (DBJ). The loan is payable in 19 quarterly installments of $0.2 million starting October 31, 2009 and a final payment of $6.2 million on July 31, 2014. The loan bears a variable interest rate based on BBA LIBOR and is secured by container rental equipment that we own. The loan had a balance of $7.6 million and interest rate of 2.8% as of September 30, 2012.
 
 
27

 
(ii)  On December 20, 2010, we entered into a term loan agreement with a consortium of banks. Under this loan agreement, we were eligible to borrow up to $300.0 million, subject to certain borrowing conditions, which amount is secured by certain assets of our wholly owned foreign subsidiaries.  The loan agreement is an amortizing facility with a term of six years.  Quarterly payments of principal for the $185.0 million initially borrowed are $3.7 million each (i.e. 2.0% of the drawn amount) for the first 23 quarterly payment dates with a final payment of $99.9 million (54.0% of the drawn amount) due on December 20, 2016.  The quarterly payments of principal on the additional draw downs (each determined separately) are an amount equal to the product of (x) the quotient obtained by dividing 46.0% by the number of remaining scheduled principal payment dates as of the drawdown date and (y) the initial principal balance of such term loan. The loan bears a variable interest rate based on LIBOR for Eurodollar loans, and Base Rate for base rate loans.  The Base Rate is defined as the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.0%, (ii) the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal), and (iii) the Eurodollar rate (for three-month loans) plus 1.0%. The proceeds from this borrowing were used to pay down part of our borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2012, the loan had a balance of $261.9 million, of which $25.0 million is repayable within one year, and an average interest rate of 3.4%.

(iii)  On April 11, 2012, we entered into a term loan agreement with a consortium of banks. The agreement provides for a five year term loan of up to $60.0 million, subject to certain borrowing conditions, which amount is secured by certain of our assets. On June 15, 2012, the maximum commitment under the loan was increased to $80.0 million. The commitment under the loan may be increased to a maximum of $200.0 million, under certain conditions described in the agreement.  We primarily used the proceeds from this loan to repay outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facility. The outstanding principal amounts under the term loan bear interest at the rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%, amortized quarterly, and require quarterly payments equal to 1.75% multiplied by the outstanding principal amount at such time. As of September 30, 2012, this term loan had a balance of $79.0 million and an interest rate of 2.7%. All unpaid amounts outstanding are due and payable on April 11, 2017.

Other Debt Obligations
 
On September 9, 2011, our wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, CAL Funding I Limited, entered into a credit facility for $100.0 million of asset-backed warehouse notes.  The notes had a variable interest rate based on LIBOR during the initial two-year funding period.  The proceeds from the facility were used to finance equipment purchases. We repaid our asset-backed warehouse credit facility of $100.0 million on September 13, 2012 from the proceeds of our $103.0 million senior secured notes discussed below.
 
On September 13, 2012, our wholly owned subsidiary, Container Applications Limited (CAL), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors, pursuant to which CAL issued $103.0 million of 4.9% Senior Secured Notes due September 13, 2022 (the Notes) to the investors. The Notes are guaranteed by us and secured by certain of our assets and those of CAL.

Interest on the Notes is due and payable semiannually on March 13 and September 13 of each year, commencing on March 13, 2013. In addition, CAL is required to make certain principal payments on March 13 and September 13 of each year, commencing on March 13, 2013. Any unpaid principal and interest is due and payable on September 13, 2022. The Note Purchase Agreement provides that CAL may prepay at any time all or any part of the Notes in an amount not less than 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had collateralized financing obligations of $53.4 million (see Note 3 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements).  As of December 31, 2011, the debt related to the collateralized financing obligations was included in capital lease obligations in the accompanying balance sheet. The obligations had an average interest rate of 1.1% as of September 30, 2012 with maturity dates between June 2014 and November 2016. The loan is secured by a pool of containers covered under the financing arrangements.

Our capital leases are denominated in U.S. dollars and Euros, are financed by various European banks and financial institutions and secured by their underlying assets. As of September 30, 2012, our capital lease obligations totaled $8.0 million, with interest rates averaging 3.0%.

Securities Registration

On April 15, 2011, we filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC which was declared effective by the SEC on May 31, 2011. Under this shelf registration statement, we may sell various debt and equity securities, or a combination thereof, to be offered from time-to-time up to an aggregate offering price of $250.0 million for all securities, and the selling stockholders may sell up to 2,500,000 shares of common stock in one or more offerings.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 increased $24.3 million to $76.0 million compared to $51.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due primarily to the increase in net income as adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation, amortization of debt issuance costs and bad debt expense.
 
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities was $305.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $333.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $28.2 million in cash used in investing activities was due primarily to a $28.8 million reduction in the purchase of rental equipment during the current period.
 
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $230.4 million compared to $280.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cash provided by financing activities decreased $50.0 million as payment of our debt exceeded our borrowings by $29.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. In addition, we spent $19.5 million to purchase the non-controlling interest associated with two Japanese funds that were previously consolidated as variable interest entities.

Our estimate of interest expense commitment includes $21.5 million relating to our revolving credit facilities, $40.5 million relating to our term loans, $32.9 million relating to our senior secured notes, $1.9 million relating to our collateralized financing obligations and $0.5 million relating to our capital lease obligations. The calculation of interest commitment related to our debt assumes the following weighted average interest rates as of September 30, 2012:  revolving credit facilities, 2.9%; term loans, 3.2%; senior secured notes, 3.9%; collateralized financing obligations, 1.1%; and capital lease obligations, 3.0%. These calculations assume that weighted interest rates will remain at the same level over the next five years. We expect that the interest rate will vary over time based upon fluctuations in the underlying indexes upon which this interest rate is based.

See Note 6 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this filing for a description of the terms of our debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of September 30, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations other than noted below. An off-balance sheet arrangement includes any contractual obligation, agreement or transaction arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which we would have: (1) retained a contingent interest in transferred assets; (2) an obligation under derivative instruments classified as equity; (3) any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us; or (4) made guarantees.

We transferred ownership of certain containers to Japanese container funds which were established by Japan Investment Adviser Co., Ltd. (JIA) and CAIJ. CAIJ is an 80%-owned subsidiary of CAI with the remaining 20% owned by JIA. JIA is owned and controlled by a Managing Director of CAIJ. Prior to the purchase of containers from us, the purchasing entities had received contributions from unrelated Japanese investors, under separate Japanese investment agreements allowed under Japanese commercial laws. The contributions were used to purchase container equipment from us. Under the terms of the agreements, the CAI-related Japanese entities manage each of the investments but may outsource the whole or part of each operation to a third party. Pursuant to its services agreements with investors, the Japanese container funds have outsourced the general management of their operations to CAIJ. The Japanese container funds have also entered into container equipment management service agreements and financing arrangements whereby we manage the leasing activity of containers owned by the Japanese container funds. The profit or loss from each investment will substantially belong to each respective investor, except with respect to certain Japanese funds and the financing arrangements where the terms of the transaction provide us with an option to purchase the containers at a fixed price. If we decide to exercise our purchase options and resell the containers to a third party, then we would realize any profit from the sale. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we purchased all the container equipment legally owned by two consolidated Japanese VIEs. As we previously consolidated these two Japanese VIEs, the purchase of the containers was considered a repurchase of the non-controlling interest for accounting purposes. See Notes 3 and 11 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
During the first quarter of 2012, we completed a review of historical disposal experience relating to our fleet of container equipment and concluded that the estimated residual values and useful lives used in our depreciation calculations should be amended effective January 1, 2012.  See Note 2(a) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We purchased railcars during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.  We depreciate railcar equipment over its estimated useful life of between 40 and 43 years, to its estimated residual value using the straight-line method.

There have been no other changes to our accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2012.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The most recent accounting pronouncements that are relevant to our business are described in Note 2(b) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
ITEM 3.
 
Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Changes in these factors could cause fluctuations in our results of operations and cash flows. We are exposed to the market risks described below.
 
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Although we have significant foreign-based operations, the U.S. Dollar is our primary operating currency. Thus, most of our revenue and expenses are denominated in U.S. Dollars. We have equipment sales in British Pound Sterling, Euros and Japanese Yen and incurred overhead costs in foreign currencies, primarily in British Pound Sterling and Euros. CAI Consent Sweden AB, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, has significant amounts of revenue as well as expenses denominated in Euros and Swedish Krone. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the U.S. Dollar decreased in value in relation to other major foreign currencies (such as the Euro and British Pound Sterling). The decrease in the U.S. Dollar has increased our revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. The decrease in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies will also result in U.S. dollar denominated assets held at some of our foreign subsidiaries to decrease in value relative to the foreign subsidiaries’ local currencies. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a loss on foreign exchange of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
 
Interest Rate Risk. The nature of our business exposes us to market risk arising from changes in interest rates to which our variable-rate debt is linked. As of September 30, 2012, the principal amount of debt outstanding under the variable-rate arrangement of our revolving credit facilities was $360.3 million.  In addition, at September 30, 2012 we had balances on our variable rate term loans of $348.4 million and $8.0 million of variable rate capital lease obligations.

A 1.0% increase or decrease in underlying interest rates for these obligations will increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $7.2 million annually assuming debt remains constant at September 30, 2012 levels.

ITEM 4.

Management Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based upon such evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2012 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective with respect to controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and are accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.
 
From time to time we may be a party to litigation matters or disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, including in connection with enforcing our rights under our leases. Currently, we are not a party to any legal proceedings which are material to our business, financial condition or results of operations.
 
ITEM 1A.
 
Before making an investment decision, investors should carefully consider the risks described in the “Risk Factors” in Part 1: Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 filed with the SEC on March 8, 2012. The risks described in the aforementioned filing are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate due to any of these risks, and investors may lose all or part of their investment. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
