The Company does not expect to incur any material expenses in the future in regards to this indemnity. ITEM 7.

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) The following Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are based on the historical financial statements of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation ("Wabtec" or the "Company"), adjusted to give effect to the disposition of certain locomotive aftermarket assets by the Company. The Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 and the nine months ended September 30, 2001 assume that the disposition had occurred on January 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001, respectively. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2000 gives effect to the disposition as if it had occurred on December 31, 2000. The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2001 gives effect to the disposition as if it had occurred on September 30, 2001. The pro forma financial information reflects certain assumptions described above and in the Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements below. The pro forma financial information does not purport to present what the Company's results of operations would actually have been if the disposition of certain locomotive aftermarket assets had occurred on the assumed date, as specified above, or to project the Company's financial condition or results of operations for any future period.
