Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


On  October  24,  2000,  Interpool,  Inc.  (the  "Registrant")  consummated  the
transactions  contemplated by an Asset Purchase Agreement,  dated as of July 27,
2000, between the Registrant and Transamerica  Leasing,  Inc. (the "Seller"),  a
subsidiary  of  Transamerica  Finance  Corporation  and AEGON N.V, as amended on
October  24,  2000  (the  "Asset  Purchase  Agreement").  Pursuant  to the Asset
Purchase Agreement,  the Registrant  acquired  substantially all of the domestic
containers,  chassis and trailers of Seller's North American intermodal division
("Transamerica  N.A.   Intermodal")  and  related  assets  and  assumed  certain
liabilities  related  to the  assets  and  Seller's  business  for an  aggregate
purchase price of  approximately  $681 million in cash,  subject to post-closing
adjustments.  The  Registrant  currently  plans to use the  assets  it  acquired
pursuant to the Asset  Purchase  Agreement in its own intermodal  business.  The
Registrant  funded the  acquisition  through a  combination  of cash on-hand and
proceeds from (i) committed secured financing facilities arranged by First Union
Securities,  Inc. in an amount  equal to  approximately  $101 million and (ii) a
syndicated  secured loan  arranged by Citicorp  USA,  Inc. in an amount equal to
approximately $300 million. In connection with the transactions  contemplated by
the  Asset  Purchase  Agreement,  the  Registrant  and  Seller  entered  into  a
Transition  Services  Agreement  under  which the  Seller  has agreed to provide
certain  information  and  transition  services to the  Registrant to enable the
Registrant to continue  operating  the assets it acquired  from the Seller.  The
foregoing  description  of the Asset  Purchase  Agreement  is  qualified  in its
entirety by the terms and  conditions of the Asset Purchase  Agreement  which is
incorporated  herein by reference  to the Form 8K filed on November 2, 2000.  On
October  24,  2000,  the  Registrant  issued  a  press  release  announcing  the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement. A
copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

                    Report of Independent Public Accountants


To the Board of Directors of Interpool Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Transamerica N.A. Intermodal
(the  "Company") as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and the related
statements of income,  changes in divisional equity, and cash flows for the nine
month period ended  September 30, 2000 and the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998.  These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica N.A. Intermodal as
of September  30, 2000 and December 31 1999,  and the results of its  operations
and its cash flows for the nine month period ended  September 30, 2000,  and the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 in conformity with accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States.

TRANSAMERICA N.A. INTERMODAL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 (IN THOUSANDS)


(1) Nature of operations and significant accounting policies:

Nature of operations -

Transamerica  N.A.  Intermodal  (the  "Company"),  is a division of Transamerica
Leasing Inc.  ("TAL") itself a wholly owned  subsidiary of Transamerica  Finance
Corp.  ("TFC"),  Transamerica  and AEGON, NV. Separate  accounting  records were
maintained for the Company,  however financial statements prepared in accordance
with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United States had not been
historically   prepared;   all  assets,   liabilities,   revenues  and  expenses
attributable to the Company being part of the financial results of TAL. As such,
the Company was economically dependent upon TAL.

The Company conducts business principally in three industry segments.  These are
the leasing of (i) domestic  intermodal  chassis,  (ii) rail  trailers and (iii)
domestic  containers.  The customers for this equipment are a significant number
of domestic  companies,  some of which are domestic  subsidiaries or branches of
international  shipping lines.  Equipment is principally  purchased  directly or
acquired through lease agreements.

In October 2000,  the Company was acquired by Interpool  Inc. Under the terms of
the  agreement,  substantially  all of the  domestic  containers,  chassis,  and
trailers along with related assets and liabilities were sold to Interpool Inc.

Basis of Presentation--

The  accompanying  financial  statements  present the operations of the Company.
Financial  statement  balances have been derived from the  financial  records of
TAL, which contained businesses other than the domestic intermodal chassis, rail
trailer,  and domestic  container  businesses.  These  financial  statements are
presented  as if the Company had existed as an entity  separate  from TAL during
the periods presented,  and includes financial  information  directly related to
the  Company's  operations  and  allocated  costs from TFC and TAL for  services
provided to the Company by these entities.  Divisional equity at January 1, 1998
represents  the net  assets of the  Company  at that  point in time and does not
reflect cumulative income statement activity from the Company's inception. These
statements  do not  purport to reflect  the  financial  position,  or results of
operations  or cash flows,  that would have resulted if the Company had operated
as a separate  entity.  Management  believes  the  financial  statements  of the
Company to be a fair representation of Company's financial position,  results of
operations and cash flows within the framework of TAL's business.

The assets of the Company  were  determined  by specific  identification  of the
assets used in, or relating to, the Company's business.

Revenue Recognition -

Equipment  leasing  revenues  include revenue  generated from operating  leases,
which are recognized over the term of the respective lease agreements.


Expense Recognition --

The statements of income of the Company include all costs directly  attributable
to the Company and also include



allocated  expenses  for services  provided by TFC and TAL. All lease  operating
expenses,  depreciation, and other income and expenses are directly attributable
to the Company . Certain  administrative  expenses  including employee benefits,
occupancy,  information  technology services and technology usage that relate to
the Company have been allocated. In 2000 and 1999, expense allocations have been
based on specific identification or headcount equivalents.  During 1998, expense
allocations were based on fleet size. Management believes that these allocations
are reasonable  and represent  their best estimate.  These  allocations  are not
necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses that would have resulted if the
Company had been operated as a separate entity.

Cash --

The Company  maintains  only a notional cash  balance.  TAL provides the Company
with all of its liquidity needs.

Accounts Receivable --

Accounts  receivable  represent  amounts due from  lessors for the rental of the
Company's  equipment.  The  Company's  policy is to establish  an allowance  for
possible  losses for at least 50% of an account  balance  when an account is 120
past due and to  write-off  the  account  when it  becomes  365 days  past  due.
Management  believes the allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,292 and $1,263 at
September  30,  2000 and  December  31,  1999,  respectively,  provide  adequate
reserves for potentially uncollectable accounts.

Other Assets -

Other assets  include land and buildings,  furniture and equipment,  capitalized
software costs, and prepaid licensing expenses.  Buildings are being depreciated
over 20 years using the straight-line method.  Furniture and equipment are being
depreciated over 10 years using the straight -line method.  Capitalized software
costs  are  being  depreciated  over 5 years  using  the  straight-line  method.
Depreciation  expense  during the nine months ended  September 30, 2000, and the
years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 totaled $626, $321 and $169 respectively.
Prepaid licensing costs are depreciated using the straight-line  method over the
life of the related license.

Income Taxes -

The  Company's  operations  and those of TAL and TFC are included in the Federal
and state  income tax returns of  Transamerica  under the terms of a tax sharing
agreement.  Pursuant to the tax sharing  agreement,  Transamerica  utilizes  net
operating  loss  carryforwards  generated  by the Company  and TAL.  The Company
records a deferred  tax asset  equal to the amount of the net  operating  losses
utilized and earns  interest  income on these  balances  from TAL. This interest
income is recorded net of interest  expense on the  accompanying  statements  of
income and totaled  $1,173,  $2,488,  and $2,954 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2000 and the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Leasing Equipment -

Depreciation and  amortization of leasing  equipment,  both equipment  currently
on-lease  to  customers  and  available  for  hire,   are  provided   under  the
straight-line method based on the following useful lives:

                  Rail Trailers                       13-1/2 years
                  Domestic Containers                 12 years
                  Chassis                             15 to 20 years




Gains or losses derived from the  disposition of leasing  equipment are recorded
in the year of disposition.

The residual value of leasing  equipment is estimated  based on the  projections
for the economic value and market value of the respective  intermodal  equipment
as well as the experience in leasing and selling similarly aged equipment.  Such
projected values are reviewed and updated when market and/or economic conditions
change.

Concentration of credit risk -

The Division extends credit to its customers after extensive credit  evaluation.
At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 less than 1% of accounts  receivable
for operating leases were from customers outside of the United States.

In 2000, 1999 and 1998 the Company's top 20 customers represented  approximately
84%, 87% and 88% respectively, of its consolidated divisional revenues.

Prospective accounting pronouncements -

     In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.  In June 1999, the FASB issued Statement No.
137, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of
the  Effective  Date of FASB  Statement  No. 133. In June 2000,  the FASB issued
Statement 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging
Activities,  an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.  Statement 133, as amended,
establishes  accounting and reporting  standards requiring that every derivative
instrument   (including  certain  derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other
contracts)  be  recorded in the  balance  sheet as either an asset or  liability
measured  at  its  fair  value.  The  Statement  requires  that  changes  in the
derivative  instrument's  fair value be recognized  currently in earnings unless
specific hedge accounting  criteria are met.  Special  accounting for qualifying
hedges  allows a  derivative  instrument's  gains and  losses to offset  related
results on the hedged item in the income statement, to the extent effective, and
requires  that a company  must  formally  document,  designate,  and  assess the
effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.

Statement 133, as amended,  is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after June
15, 2000. A company may also  implement the Statement as of the beginning of any
fiscal quarter after issuance (that is, fiscal quarters beginning June 16, 1998,
and thereafter).  Statement 133 cannot be applied  retroactively.  Statement 133
must  be  applied  to (a)  derivative  instruments  and (b)  certain  derivative
instruments embedded in hybrid instruments.  With respect to hybrid instruments,
a company  may elect to apply  Statement  133,  as  amended,  to (1) all  hybrid
instruments,  (2) only those hybrid instruments that were issued,  acquired,  or
substantively  modified  after  December  31,  1997,  or (3) only  those  hybrid
instruments that were issued, acquired, or substantively modified after December
31, 1998.  The Company has  determined  that it did not hold any  derivative  or
hybrid instruments as defined by Statement 133.

Use of estimates -

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  amounts  reported  in the  financial  statements  and  the  accompanying
disclosures. The more significant estimates that impact these statements include
such items as allocations of costs and expenses from TAL and TFC to the Company.
In the  opinion  of  management,  the  allocation  of  costs  and  expenses  are
reasonable;  however, they are not necessarily  indicative of costs and expenses
that would have been incurred had the Company been  operated as an  unaffiliated
entity.  Although management  believes these estimates to be reasonable,  actual
results could differ from those estimates.




(2)  Leasing Activities:

As of September 30, 2000, the aggregate annual minimum rental  commitments under
operating leases having initial or remaining  noncancellable  terms in excess of

(3) Allowance for doubtful accounts:

The following summarizes the activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts:

                                               2000         1999         1998
                                              -------      -------      -------
Balance, beginning of period                  $ 1,263      $   949      $ 1,528
     Provision charged to expense               3,494          530         --
    Write-offs, net of recoveries              (3,465)        (216)        (579)
                                              -------      -------      -------
Balance, end of period                        $ 1,292      $ 1,263      $   949
                                              =======      =======      =======

The  allowance  for  doubtful  accounts  includes  the  Company's   estimate  of
allowances necessary for receivables.  As of September 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, included in accounts receivable are non-performing receivables of $371 and
$569, respectively.

(4) Advances from TAL and Divisional Equity:

The Company was  dependent  upon TAL for all  financing of business  operations.
Historically,  TAL has managed the  leverage of the Company to a ratio of 6.5:1.
As a result, advances from TAL and divisional equity on the accompanying balance
sheets represent amounts calculated based on these established  leverage ratios.
Shareholders  equity is  increased  by  earnings  of the  Company and reduced by
dividends to arrive at the 6.5:1 leverage ratio.  Interest  expense  incurred on
the advances from TAL totaled $19,280,  $25,034,  and $26,633 for the nine month
period ended September 30, 2000, and the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively,  and is recorded net of interest  income earned from  Transamerica
under  the  terms  of the  tax  sharing  agreement  on the  accompanying  income
statements.  The effective interest rates charged by TAL to the Company on these
advances  (which are based on TAL's average cost of funds) were 7.1%,  6.8%, and
6.9% for the nine month period  ended  September  30, 2000,  and the years ended
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.



(5) Commitments and Contingencies:

At September 30, 2000, the Division had  outstanding  purchase  commitments  for
equipment of approximately $14,958.

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings from time to time incidental
to the conduct of its  business.  In the opinion of  management,  the Company is
adequately  insured  against the claims  relating to such  proceedings,  and the
ultimate  liability  arising  out of such  proceedings  will not have a material
adverse  effect on the  financial  condition  or  results of  operations  of the
Company.

(6) Cash Flow Information:

For the periods ended September 30, 2000,  December 31, 1999 and 1998, cash paid
for interest expense (net of interest earned from TAL in accordance with the tax
sharing agreement) was approximately $18,107, $22,546 and $23,679, respectively.
No cash was paid for Federal or state  income  taxes  during the  periods  ended
September 30, 2000, December 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998.

(7) Income Taxes:

Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

                                                        9/30/00         12/31/99
                                                       --------         --------
Deferred tax assets:
     Loss carry forwards                               $ 13,804         $ 23,984

Deferred tax liabilities:
     Operating property, net                           $179,815         $180,638
                                                       --------         --------

Net deferred tax liability                             $166,011         $156,654
                                                       ========         ========

A reconciliation of the U.S. statutory tax rate to the actual tax rate follows:

                                            2000           1999           1998
                                           ------         ------         ------

U.S. statutory rate                          35.0%          35.0%          35.0%
State taxes                                   4.5%           4.2%           4.7%

(8) Employee Benefit Plans:

Transamerica  had a savings  plan for  eligible  employees.  Under the  employee
savings  plan,  Transamerica  contributed  an  amount  equal to 75% of  employee
contributions up to a maximum of 6% of each employee's  salary,  or $10,500 each
year.  Contributions  are  directed  by  the  employees  into  investment  funds
maintained  in  accordance   with  the  employee   savings  plan.   Transamerica
contributions  charged to the  Company's  operations  related  to the  Company's
employees  amounted  to $150 and  $160,  and  $108 in  2000,and  1999,  and 1998
respectively.  The company also maintains a supplemental retirement plan program
for all  full-time  eligible  employees.  Due to the over  funded  status of the
Transamerica  plan, no contributions  were required by the Transamerica in 2000,
and 1999, and 1998 respectively.

In  addition,   the  Company  maintained  a  bonus/incentive  plan  program  for
substantially  all  full-time  employees.   Transamerica   expenses  charged  to

(11) Subsequent Events:

In October 2000, Interpool Inc. completed its acquisition of the Company.  Under
the terms of the agreement,  Interpool Inc.  acquired  substantially  all of the
domestic  containers,  chassis,  and rail  trailers  of the  Company and related
assets and assumed  certain of the  liabilities of the business.  Interpool Inc.
paid approximately  $681,000 in cash for the acquisition,  which includes $8,400
in fees and other costs for  advisors,  of which $1,650 is payable to a director
of Interpool  Inc. for  consultation  services  rendered.  The  acquisition  was
financed  through  a  combination  of cash on  hand,  proceeds  obtained  from a
committed secured financing facility in the amount of approximately $300,000, as
well  as   approximately   $101,000   of  proceeds   obtained   from  a  chassis
securitization facility established in July 2000.

In the acquisition, Interpool Inc. acquired approximately 70,000 chassis, 23,000
rail trailers,  and 18,000  domestic  containers.  The acquisition was effective
October 1, 2000 in a  transaction  accounted  for under the  purchase  method of
accounting,  accordingly the acquired assets and liabilities  have been recorded
at the  estimated  fair  values  at the  date of  acquisition  on the  financial
statements of Interpool Inc.

                        CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In the  schedules  below,  we attempt to illustrate  the financial  results that
might have occurred if Interpool's  acquisition of Transamerica N.A.  Intermodal
had been  completed  previously.  Presented  are  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Combined
Condensed  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income  for  nine  month  period  ended
September 30, 2000 and year ended  December  31,1999 as if the  acquisition  had
been consummated at the beginning of the each period  presented.  Also presented
is the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as of
September 30, 2000 as if the  acquisition  had been  consummated  on the balance
sheet date. These unaudited pro forma combined condensed  consolidated financial
statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  historical  consolidated
financial statements of Interpool and related notes and "Management's Discussion
and  Analysis  of Results  of  Operations  and  Financial  Condition"  contained
therein, with respect to Interpool,  in the Interpool's December 31, 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as amended,  and the Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the
nine months ended September 30, 2000

It is important to remember that this information is hypothetical,  and does not
necessarily reflect the financial  performance that would have actually resulted
if the  acquisition  had  been  completed  on the  dates  discussed.  It is also
important to remember that this information does not necessarily  reflect future
financial performance.

have been prepared to reflect the acquisition as if the acquisition  occurred at
the beginning of the period  presented.  The  acquisition has been accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting.

The  following is a summary of the  adjustment  reflected in the  Unaudited  Pro
Forma Combined Consolidated Statements of Income:


     1.   At the date of  acquisition,  it was the Intent of  Interpool  Inc. to
          sell  the  rail  trailers  and  domestic   containers   acquired  from
          Transamerica  N.A.  Intermodal.  In January  2001,  Interpool  and TIP

          41,000 rail  trailers and domestic  containers  owned by  Transamerica
          N.A.  Intermodal  prior  at the  time of  acquisition.  This  sale was
          consummated on March 30, 2001. As such,  Interpool accounted for these
          assets during the holding period as assets held for sale. Accordingly,
          the  revenues  and expenses  related to the  operations  of the assets
          acquired from  Transamerica  N.A.  Intermodal are eliminated  from the
          operating  results of  Interpool  Inc.  and are added to the  carrying
          value of the assets held for sale.

     2.   Represents adjustment to depreciation expense associated with the step
          up in  basis of the  assets  acquired  to fair  value  based  upon the
          remaining useful life of the related equipment.

     3.   Represents  the  reversal  of  interest   expense,   net  incurred  by
          Transamerica N.A. Intermodal of $18,107 and $22,546 for the nine month
          period ended  September 30, 2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999,
          respectively,  and the  addition  of  interest  expense of $26,016 and
          $33,964 on debt incurred by Interpool Inc. related to the acquisition,
          less  interest  expense of $18,166  and  $23,707  associated  with the
          Transamerica N.A.  Intermodal assets to be sold, which was capitalized
          to assets held for sale for the nine month period ended  September 30,
          2000 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively.

     4.   Represents  the adjustment to reflect  interest  earnings on Interpool
          cash and cash  equivalents  which  would  have been  foregone  had the
          transaction been consummated at the beginning of the period presented.

     5.   Represents  the  adjustment  to the tax  provision  based on the above
          adjustments to the statements of income based on the statutory rate of
          40%.






The  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Combined  Condensed  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet was
prepared to reflect the Acquisition as of September 30, 2000.

The  following is a summary of the  adjustments  reflected in the  Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet:

In October 2000,  Interpool Inc.  completed its acquisition of Transamerica N.A.
Intermodal.   Under  the  terms  of  the  agreement,   Interpool  Inc.  acquired
substantially  all of the domestic  containers,  chassis,  and rail  trailers of
Transamerica  N.A.   Intermodal  and  related  assets  assumed  certain  of  the
liabilities of the business.  Interpool Inc. paid  approximately $681 million in
cash for the  acquisition,  which  includes $8.4 million in fees and other costs
for advisors,  of which $1.65 million is payable to a director of Interpool Inc.
for  consultation  services  rendered.  The acquisition  was financed  through a
combination  of  cash  on  hand,  proceeds  obtained  from a  committed  secured
financing  facility  in the  amount of  approximately  $300  million  as well as
approximately  $101 million of proceeds  obtained from a chassis  securitization
facility established in July 2000.

     1.   Represents  the  cash  on hand  used by  Interpool,  Inc.  to  acquire
          Transamerica N.A. Intermodal.

     2.   Represents  the adjustment of the assets and  liabilities  acquired by
          Interpool  Inc. to their fair values,  which  includes the write up of
          revenue  earning  equipment by $66.5 million,  the write down of other
          assets of  Transamerica  N.A.  Intermodal  of $1.8 million  (primarily
          capitalized   software   costs),   and  the   elimination  of  accrued
          liabilities  and deferred tax  liabilities  maintained by Transamerica
          N.A.  Intermodal,  not assumed by  Interpool  of $5.8 million and $166
          million, respectively.

     3.   At the date of  acquisition,  it was the Intent of  Interpool  Inc. to
          sell  the  rail  trailers  and  domestic   containers   acquired  from
          Transamerica  N.A.  Intermodal.  In January  2001,  Interpool  and TIP
          Intermodal  Services  (TIP)  announced a definitive  agreement for the
          sale of 50,000 rail  trailers and domestic  containers  including  all
          41,000 rail  trailers and domestic  containers  owned by  Transamerica
          N.A.  Intermodal  prior to the  acquisition.  The amounts shown in the
          above pro forma balance sheet represent the reclassification of assets
          at their fair value  (anticipated  sale price)  (comprised of the rail
          trailers and domestic containers at $279.2 million and $5.9 million of
          related accounts receivable). In addition, an additional $16.3 million
          of the purchase  price was  capitalized  to assets held for sale which
          represents the estimated net results of operations of the Transamerica
          N.A. Intermodal rail trailers and domestic containers to be sold, from
          October 1, 2000 through March 31, 2001 (the  estimated date of sale of
          the equipment).

     4.   Represents  the  elimination of $372.7 million of advances from TAL to
          Transamerica  N.A.  Intermodal  not assumed by Interpool  Inc. and the
          debt of $401  million  incurred by  Interpool  Inc. in  financing  the
          acquisition.
