The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting.
