ITEM 1.      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

For more detailed information about the Registrant's  business, see "Business of
the Partnership" in the Prospectus as supplemented.

(a)      General Development of Business

         The Registrant is a California Limited Partnership formed  on  February
         1, 1995 to purchase, own, operate, lease, and sell  equipment  used  in
         the containerized cargo shipping industry.   The Registrant   commenced
         offering units representing  limited  partnership  interests (Units) to
         the  public  on May  10,  1996  in  accordance  with  its  Registration
         Statement  and  ceased  to offer  such  Units on April  30,  1997.  The
         Registrant raised a total of $36,967,940 from the offering and invested
         a substantial portion of the money raised in equipment.  The Registrant
         has  since  engaged  in  leasing  this  and  other   equipment  in  the
         international shipping industry.

         See  Item 10  herein  for a  description  of the  Registrant's  General
         Partners.  See  Item 7  herein  for a  description  of  current  market
         conditions affecting the Registrant's business.

(b)      Financial Information About Industry Segments

         Inapplicable.

(c)      Narrative Description of Business

(c)(1)(i)A   container   leasing   company   generally,   and   the   Registrant
         specifically,  is an  operating  business  comparable  to a rental  car
         business.  A customer can lease a car from a  bank  leasing  department
         for a  monthly  charge  which  represents  the cost of the  car,   plus
         interest,  amortized  over the term of the lease;  or the customer  can
         rent the same car from a rental  car  company at a  much  higher  daily
         lease rate.  The  customer is willing to pay the higher daily rate  for
         the convenience and  value-added  features  provided by the rental  car
         company, the most important of which is the ability to pick up  the car
         where it is most  convenient,  use it for the desired  period of  time,
         and then drop it off at a location convenient to the customer.   Rental
         car  companies  compete  with one another on the basis of lease  rates,
         availability of cars, and the provision of additional  services.   They
         generate  revenues  by  maintaining  the  highest  lease rates and  the
         highest  utilization factors that market conditions will allow, and  by
         augmenting this income with proceeds from sales of insurance,  drop-off
         fees, and other special charges.  A large percentage of lease  revenues
         earned by car rental  companies  are  generated  under  corporate  rate
         agreements  wherein,  for a  stated  period  of time,  employees  of  a
         participating  corporation can rent cars at specific terms,  conditions
         and rental rates.

         Container leasing companies and the Registrant  operate  in  a  similar
         manner by owning  and  leasing  a  worldwide  fleet  of  new  and  used
         transportation containers to international  shipping  companies hauling
         various types of goods among numerous  trade routes.  All lessees pay a
         daily rental rate and in certain markets may pay special handling  fees
         and/or drop-off charges. In addition  to  these  fees  and  charges,  a
         lessee must either provide  physical damage and liability  insurance or
         purchase a damage  waiver  from  the  Registrant,  in  which  case  the
         Registrant agrees to pay the cost of repairing any physical  damage  to
         containers caused by lessees.  Container leasing companies compete with
         one another on  the basis of lease  rates,  availability  of  equipment
         and  services provided.   To  ensure  the  availability  of  equipment,
         container  leasing  companies   and   the   Registrant  may  reposition
         containers from low demand locations  to  higher  demand  locations. By
         maintaining  the   highest   lease   rates  and  the  highest equipment
         utilization  factors  allowed  by  market  conditions,  the  Registrant
         generates revenue and profit.  Rental revenues are primarily  generated
         under  master  leases,  which are  comparable  to  the  corporate  rate
         agreements  used  by  rental  car companies.  The master leases provide
         that the lessee, for a specified period of time, may rent containers at
         specific terms, conditions and rental rates.  Although the terms of the
         master lease  governing  each container under lease do  not  vary,  the
         number of containers in use can vary from time to time within  the term
         of the master lease.  The terms and  conditions  of  the  master  lease
         provide  that the lessee pays a daily rental rate for the  entire  time
         the container is in his possession (whether or not he is actively using
         it), is  responsible for any damage,  and  must  insure  the  container
         against liabilities. For a  more  detailed  discussion  of  the  leases
         for  the  Registrant's equipment, see "Leasing Policy" under  "Business
         of the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented. The
         Registrant also sells containers in  the  course  of  its  business  if
         opportunities  arise or at the end  of  the  container's  useful  life.
         See  "Business  of  the Partnership"  in  Registrant's  Prospectus,  as
         supplemented.

(c)(1)(vi) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(vii)One lessee had revenue for  the  years  ended  December 31, 1998  and
           1997  of 12%  and  13%,  respectively,  of the  total  revenue of the
           Registrant.  Two lessees had revenue for the year ended  December 31,
           1996 of 19% and 15% of the total revenue of the  Registrant. No other
           single lessee had 10% or more of the total revenue of the Registrant.
           The  Partnership has insurance  that would cover loss of revenue as a
           result of default under all its leases,  as well as the recovery cost
           or replacement value of all its  containers,  including those of this
           lessee.  The insurance covers loss of lease  revenues for a specified
           period  of  time,  not necessarily  for the  term of the  lease.  The
           insurance is renewable annually, and  the  General  Partners  believe
           that it is probable that the Partnership would  be  able  to  recover
           insurance proceeds in the event of a default or loss. Because of this
           insurance and because the  Partnership would likely be able,  over  a
           period of time, to re-lease or sell any containers that were returned
           to the Partnership, the General Partners believe  that  the  loss  of
           this  lessee  would  not  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  the
           Partnership's operating results. Because these  are  forward  looking
           statements, there can be no assurance  that events  will occur as the
           General  Partners have predicted. These statements could be  affected
           by material adverse events in the future,  such as the  Partnership's
           loss of insurance or the  Partnership's inability to re-lease or sell
           containers that are returned to the Partnership by the lessees.

(c)(1)(viii)Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(ix) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(x)  There are  approximately 80  container  leasing  companies  of  which
           the top ten control  approximately 93% of the total equipment held by
           all  container  leasing  companies. The  top  two  container  leasing
           companies  combined control approximately  39% of the total equipment
           held  by  all  container  leasing  companies.   Textainer   Equipment
           Management Limited, an Associate General Partner  of  the  Registrant
           and the manager of its  marine  container  equipment,  is  the  third
           largest container  leasing  company  and  manages  approximately  10%
           of  the equipment  held  by  all  container  leasing  companies.  The
           Registrant alone is not  a  material  participant  in  the  worldwide
           container leasing market.  The principal methods of  competition  are
           price,  availability and the provision of worldwide  service  to  the
           international  shipping  community.   Competition  in  the  container
           leasing market has increased over the past few  years.   Since  1996,
           shipping  alliances   and   other  operational  consolidations  among
           shipping lines have allowed shipping lines to  begin  operating  with
           fewer  containers,   thereby  decreasing   the   demand  for   leased
           containers.  This decrease in demand, along with  the  entry  of  new
           leasing company competitors offering low container  rental  rates  to
           shipping  lines,  has increased  competition  among container lessors
           such as the Registrant.

(c)(1)(xi) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(xii)Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(xiii) The Registrant has  no  employees.  Textainer  Capital  Corporation
           (TCC), the Managing General Partner of the Registrant, is responsible
           for the overall management of the business of the  Registrant  and at
           December  31, 1998 had 6  employees.  Textainer Equipment  Management
           Limited (TEM), an Associate  General  Partner, is responsible for the
           management of  the  leasing  operations  of  the  Registrant  and  at
           December 31, 1998 had a total of 162 employees.

(d)      Financial  Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
         Sales.

         The  Registrant  is involved  in leasing  containers  to  international
         shipping  companies for use in world trade.  Approximately 20%, 11% and
         7% of the  Registrant's  rental revenue during the years ended December
         31, 1998,  1997 and 1996,  respectively,  was derived  from  operations
         sourced or terminated  domestically.  These  percentages do not reflect
         the proportion of the  Partnership's  income from operations  generated
         domestically  or  in  domestic  waterways.  Substantially  all  of  the
         Partnership's income from operations is derived from assets employed in
         foreign  operations.  See  "Business  of the  Partnership",  and  for a
         discussion of the risks of leasing  containers  for use in world trade,
         see "Risk Factors" in the Registrant's Prospectus, as supplemented.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1998, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:

         20-foot standard dry freight containers                           4,406
         40-foot standard dry freight containers                           4,606
         40-foot high cube dry freight containers                          1,706
                                                                          ------
                                                                          10,718
                                                                          ======

During  December 1998,  approximately  80% of these  containers were on lease to
international  shipping  companies  and the balance was being stored at shipping
container  manufacturers'  locations  and at a large  number of  storage  depots
located worldwide.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

           (Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)

The Financial  Statements contain information that will assist in evaluating the
financial  condition of the  Partnership  for the years ended December 31, 1998,
1997 and 1996.  Please refer to the  Financial  Statements  and Notes thereto in
connection with the following discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From May 10,  1996  until  April  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  offered  limited
partnership  interests  to the  public.  The  Partnership  received  its minimum
subscription  amount of $1,100 on June 17,  1996,  and raised a total of $36,968
from the offering.

From time to time, the Partnership will redeem units from limited partners for a
specified  redemption  value,  which  is  set  by  formula.  Up  to  2%  of  the
Partnership's outstanding units may be redeemed each year, although the 2% limit
may be exceeded at the Managing General  Partner's  discretion.  All redemptions
are subject to the Managing  General  Partner's  good faith  determination  that
payment for the redeemed units will not (i) cause the Partnership to be taxed as
a  corporation,  (ii) impair the capital or  operations of the  Partnership,  or
(iii) impair the ability of the Partnership to pay  distributions  in accordance
with its distribution policy. Since inception,  the Partnership has not redeemed
any units.

The Partnership  invests working capital and cash flow from operations  prior to
its  distribution  to  the  partners  in  short-term,  liquid  investments.  The
Partnership's  cash is  affected  by  cash  provided  by or  used in  operating,
investing and financing  activities.  These  activities  are discussed in detail
below.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  1998,  the  Partnership  declared  cash
distributions  to limited  partners  pertaining to the period from December 1997
through November 1998, in the amount of $3,173. These distributions represent 9%
on original capital (measured on an annualized basis) on each unit from December
1997 through  June 1998 and 8% on original  capital  (measured on an  annualized
basis) on each unit for July  through  November  1998.  On a cash basis,  all of
these  distributions  were from  operations.  On a GAAP  basis,  $2,487 of these
distributions  was a return of capital and the  balance  was from net  earnings.
Beginning  with cash  distributions  to limited  partners for the month of March
1999,  payable  April  1999,  the  Partnership  will  make  distributions  at an
annualized  rate  of  6%  on  each  unit.  This  reduction  in  the  Partnership
distribution  rate  is the  result  of  current  market  conditions,  which  are
discussed in detail below.

At December 31, 1998, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.

Net cash provided by operating  activities for the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997, was $3,805 and $3,161, respectively.  The increase of $644, or 20%, is
primarily  attributable to the fluctuation in accounts  receivable offset by the
fluctuation in due from affiliates,  net. Accounts receivable  decreased $238 in
the year ended  December  31, 1998 due to a decrease  in the average  collection
period of accounts  receivable  and to the resolution of payment issues with one
lessee. The increase in accounts  receivable of $562 in the equivalent period in
1997 was primarily due to the increase in fleet size. Due from  affiliates,  net
increased  $321 in the year ended  December 31, 1998  compared to an increase in
due to affiliates,  net of $95 in the comparable period ended 1997. Fluctuations
in due from (to) affiliates, net resulted from the increase in the average fleet
size as well as timing  differences  in payment of expenses  and fees and in the
remittance of net rental revenues from TEM. The  Partnership  believes that cash
flow  from  operating   activities  may  be  adversely   affected  by  increased
repositioning  costs  during  1999.  The  reasons  for  these  higher  costs are
discussed under "Results of Operations".

For the years  ended  December  31,  1998 and 1997,  net cash used in  investing
activities   (the  purchase  and  sale  of  containers)   was  $10  and  $2,930,
respectively.  The decrease of $2,920 is primarily due to the Partnership having
purchased  more  containers  during the year ended December 31, 1997 than in the
year  ended  December  31,  1998,  and is  partially  offset  by the  return  of
restricted  funds  of $991  in  1997,  previously  held  as  collateral  for the
Partnership's credit facility in 1997.  Additionally,  current market conditions
have had an adverse effect on the amount of cash from  operations  available for
additional container purchases (reinvestment),  which has resulted in lower than
anticipated  reinvestment.   Currently,  the  Partnership  does  not  anticipate
purchasing containers in the first half of 1999 due to the anticipated impact of
market  conditions on cash available from  operations for  reinvestment.  Market
conditions are discussed more fully under "Results of Operations".

From time to time,  the  Partnership  will likely  sell some of its  containers.
Consistent with its investment  objectives,  the Partnership intends to continue
to  reinvest  available  cash  from  operations  as  well as the  proceeds  from
container  sales in  additional  containers.  However,  the number of additional
containers  purchased may not equal the number of containers  sold,  despite the
decline in average  container prices from their most recent high in 1995, as new
container prices are likely to be greater than proceeds from container sales.

During 1997,  the  Partnership  borrowed $29 from a General  Partner to purchase
containers.  It is the policy of the  Partnership  and the  General  Partners to
charge  interest on borrowings from  affiliates  arising from the  Partnership's
acquisition  of  containers,  which are  outstanding  for more  than one  month.
Interest is charged to the  Partnership  at a rate not greater  than the General
Partners' own cost of funds. The Partnership paid $1 of interest during the year
ended December 31, 1998. The interest rate in effect at March 31, 1998 was 8.5%.
The  Partnership  repaid  the loan on March  31,  1998  with  cash  provided  by
operations and proceeds from the sale of containers.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income, container depreciation,  direct container expenses, management fees, and
reimbursement of administrative expenses was directly related to the size of the
container fleet during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, as well
as certain other factors as discussed  below.  The following is a summary of the
container fleet (in units) available for lease during those periods:

                                                   1998         1997        1996
                                                   ----         ----        ----

     Beginning container fleet...............      10,728      9,099       6,614
     Ending container fleet..................      10,718     10,728       9,099
     Average container fleet.................      10,723      9,914       7,857

The growth in the average container fleet of 8% from the year ended December 31,
1997 to the same  period  in  1998,  was  primarily  due to the  buildup  of the
Partnership's  portfolio as the initial  gross  proceeds  from the offering were
invested in 1997.  The size of the fleet may  decrease  in future  years for the
reasons described above under "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Rental  income and direct  container  expenses are also  affected by the average
utilization of the container fleet,  which was 83%, 85% and 77% during the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, rental income
is affected by daily rental rates and leasing incentives.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996.

The  Partnership's  income from operations for the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997 was $1,696 and  $1,666,  respectively,  on rental  income of $6,258 and
$5,798, respectively. The increase in rental income of $460 or 8%, from the year
ended December 31, 1997 to the year ended December 31, 1998 was  attributable to
increases in income from container rentals and other rental income.  Income from
container rentals,  the major component of total revenue,  increased $180 or 3%.
This increase was primarily due to an increase in the average container fleet of
8% and a decrease in leasing  incentives of 50%, offset by a decrease in average
rental rates of 3% and a decrease in average on-hire utilization of 2%.

The  Partnership's  income from operations for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996 was  $1,666  and $926,  respectively,  on rental  income of $5,798  and
$3,815,  respectively.  The increase in rental income of $1,983 was attributable
to increases in income from container  rentals and other rental  income.  Income
from container  rentals increased $1,686 or 46%, from 1996 to 1997 primarily due
to an increase in the average container fleet of 26%, an increase in utilization
of 10% and a decrease  in leasing  incentives  of 38%,  offset by a decrease  in
average rental rates of 1%.

Container  utilization  and rental rates for the fleet  managed by TEM have been
declining  since 1996.  This  resulted  from changes in the business of shipping
line  customers  consisting  primarily of (i)  over-capacity  resulting from the
additions of new, larger ships to the existing container ship fleet at a rate in
excess of the growth rate in  containerized  cargo  trade;  (ii)  shipping  line
alliances and other operational  consolidations that have allowed shipping lines
to operate with fewer containers; and (iii) shipping lines purchasing containers
to take advantage of low prices and favorable  interest rates.  The entry of new
leasing  company  competitors  offering low  container  rental rates to shipping
lines  resulted  in  downward  pressure  on rental  rates,  and  caused  leasing
companies to offer higher  leasing  incentives  and other  discounts to shipping
lines.  The decline in the purchase price of new  containers  during this period
and excess industry  capacity have also caused  additional  downward pressure on
rental rates.

Additionally,  the weakening of many Asian  currencies in 1998 has resulted in a
significant  increase  in exports  from Asia to North  America  and Europe and a
corresponding  decrease in imports into Asia from North America and Europe. This
trade  imbalance has created a strong  demand for  containers in Asia and a weak
demand for  containers  in North  America and Europe.  While this  imbalance has
resulted in the decline in leasing  incentives,  it has also  contributed to the
further decline in average utilization and rental rates for the fleet managed by
TEM.  This  imbalance  has  also  resulted  in an  unusually  high  build-up  of
containers  in lower demand  locations  during the year ended  December 31, 1998
compared  to 1997.  In an effort to improve  utilization  and to  alleviate  the
container  build-up,  the  Partnership has  repositioned,  and plans to continue
repositioning,  certain  containers to higher demand locations.  The Partnership
incurred  increased  direct  container  expenses  as a result  of  repositioning
containers  from  these  lower  demand  locations  during  1998 and  anticipates
incurring  additional  direct  container  costs  in  1999  as it  continues  its
repositioning efforts.

For the fleet  managed by TEM,  demand has been  especially  low for  containers
manufactured prior to 1993. The General Partners believe that the especially low
demand for these older containers is a temporary situation caused by the current
market  conditions  discussed above.  Should the especially low demand for older
containers turn out to be a permanent situation, the Partnership may be required
to increase its depreciation rate for container rental  equipment.  For the near
term, the General  Partners do not foresee  material  changes in existing market
conditions  and caution  that both  utilization  and lease  rates could  further
decline, adversely affecting the Partnership's operating results.

Substantially  all of the  Partnership's  rental income was  generated  from the
leasing of the Partnership's containers under short-term operating leases.

One lessee had revenue for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 of 12% and
13%,  respectively,  of the total  revenue of the  Registrant.  Two  lessees had
revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996 of 19% and 15% of the total revenue
of the  Registrant.  No other single lessee had 10% or more of the total revenue
of the  Registrant.  Because of the  Partnership's  insurance  and  because  the
Partnership would likely be able, over a period of time, to re-lease or sell any
containers that were returned to the  Partnership,  the General Partners believe
that the loss of this  lessee  would not have a material  adverse  impact on the
Partnership's  operating results.  Because these are forward looking statements,
there can be no assurance  that events will occur as the General  Partners  have
predicted.  These statements could be affected by material adverse events in the
future,  such  as the  Partnership's  loss  of  insurance  or the  Partnership's
inability to re-lease or sell containers that are returned to the Partnership by
the lessees.

The  balance of other  rental  income  consists  of other  lease-related  items,
primarily  income from charges to lessees for dropping off containers in surplus
locations less credits  granted to lessees for leasing  containers  from surplus
locations  (location  income),  income from  charges to lessees for handling and
returning  containers (handling income) and income from charges to lessees for a
Damage Protection Plan (DPP). For the year ended December 31, 1998, the total of
these  other  rental  income  items was $710,  an increase of $280 from the year
ended  December  31,  1997.  This  increase  was  primarily  due to increases in
location and DPP income of $314 and $44,  respectively,  offset by a decrease in
handling income of $76.  Location income  increased due to a decrease in credits
given to lessees for picking up containers  from certain  locations.  DPP income
increased primarily due to an increase in the number of containers carrying DPP,
offset by a decrease in the average DPP price  charged per  container.  Handling
income  decreased  primarily  due to  decreases  in  container  movement and the
average handling price charged per container.

For the year ended  December 31, 1997, the total of these other income items was
$430, an increase of $297 from the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase is
primarily due to the increase in the average fleet size.

Direct container  expenses  increased $429, or 38%, from the year ended December
31, 1997 to the year ended  December  31,  1998,  primarily  due to increases in
repositioning and storage expenses of $368 and $64, respectively.  Repositioning
expense  increased  primarily  due to an  increase  in the number of  containers
repositioned at a higher average cost per container.  Storage expense  increased
primarily due to the increase in average fleet size, the decrease in utilization
and an increase in the average storage cost per container.

Direct container  expenses,  increased $491, or 78% from the year ended December
31, 1997 to the year ended  December 31, 1996.  The primary  components  of this
increase were increases in repositioning, storage and handling expenses of $159,
$157 and $129,  respectively.  Repositioning and storage increased primarily due
to the increase in fleet size.  Handling expense increased due to an increase in
the average handling price per container and the increase in fleet size.

Bad debt expense  decreased  from an expense of $60 for the year ended  December
31, 1997 to a recovery of $15 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The recovery
recorded in 1998 was primarily due to the  resolution of payment issues with one
lessee and due to lower  reserve  requirements.  Bad debt expense  increased $44
from the year ended  December  31,  1996 to the  equivalent  period in 1997 as a
result of increased reserve requirements due to the increase in rental income.

Depreciation expense increased $78, or 4%, from the year ended December 31, 1997
to 1998 and $360, or 23%, from the year ended  December 31, 1996 to 1997.  These
increases  were  primarily  due to the increase in the average fleet size due to
the build up of the container fleet during 1996 and 1997.

Management fees to affiliates increased $29, or 5%, from the year ended December
31, 1997 to the  equivalent  period in 1998,  due to an  increase  in  equipment
management fees,  offset by a decrease in incentive  management fees.  Equipment
management fees, which are based on gross revenue, increased due to the increase
in  rental  income  and were 7% of gross  revenue  for both  periods.  Incentive
management  fees,  which  are based on the  Partnership's  limited  and  general
partner  distributions and partners' capital,  decreased due to the decreases in
the limited partner  distribution  rate from 10% to 9% in April 1997 and from 9%
to 8% in July 1998, offset by the increase in total partners' capital.

Management  fees to  affiliates  increased  $261,  or 89%,  from the year  ended
December  31, 1996 to the year ended  December  31,  1997,  due to  increases in
equipment and incentive  management fees. Equipment management fees increased as
a result of the  increase in rental  income and were  approximately  7% of gross
revenue for the periods.  Incentive  management  fees  increased $122 due to the
increase  in total  partner  capital,  offset  by the  decrease  in the  limited
partners' distribution rate from 10% to 9% in April 1997.

General and  administrative  costs to affiliates  decreased $20, or 6%, from the
year  ended  December  31,  1997 to the  year  ended  December  31,  1998 due to
decreases in overhead costs allocated by TEM and TCC. General and administrative
costs to affiliates  increased $74, from the year ended December 31, 1996 to the
comparable  period in 1997  primarily  due to the increase in the average  fleet
size between the periods.

Other income  provided $21 of additional  income for the year ended December 31,
1998,  an increase of $38,  compared to the year ended  December 31,  1997.  The
increase  was due to a decrease in interest  expense,  net of $110,  offset by a
decrease in gain on sale of containers of $72. The decrease in interest expense,
net was primarily due to the  Partnership  paying the credit facility in full on
March 30, 1997.

Other expense decreased $1,489 from the year ended December 31, 1997 to the year
ended December 31, 1996,  primarily due to a decline in interest expense, net of
$1,423,  accompanied  by an increase in gain from sale of containers of $66. The
decrease in interest  expense,  net was primarily due to the Partnership  paying
the credit facility in full on March 30, 1997.

Net earnings per limited partnership unit decreased from $0.84 to $0.37 from the
year ended  December 31, 1997 to the year ended  December 31, 1998. The decrease
was  primarily due to the decrease in net income  allocated to limited  partners
which decreased from $1,492 for the year ended December 31, 1997 to $686 for the
equivalent  period in 1998.  The decrease in net  earnings  allocated to limited
partners was due to a special  allocation of income to the General Partners as a
result of their capital accounts showing a deficit.

Net earnings (loss) per limited  partnership unit increased from a loss of $0.76
to earnings of $0.84 from the year ended  December 31,  1996,  to the year ended
December  31, 1997  reflecting  the  increase in limited  partners  net earnings
(loss),  which  increased  from a loss of $525 for the year ended  December  31,
1996, to earnings of $1,492 for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Although  substantially  all of the  Partnership's  income  from  operations  is
derived from assets employed in foreign operations, virtually all of this income
is  denominated  in United  States  dollars.  The  Partnership's  customers  are
international  shipping  lines  which  transport  goods on  international  trade
routes.  The  domicile  of the lessee is not  indicative  of where the lessee is
transporting  the  containers.  The  Partnership's  business risk in its foreign
operations lies with the  creditworthiness of the lessees, and the Partnership's
ability to keep its containers under lease,  rather than the geographic location
of the  containers or the domicile of the lessees.  The containers are generally
operated on the international high seas rather than on domestic  waterways.  The
containers are subject to the risk of war or other political, economic or social
occurrence  where  the  containers  are used,  which  may  result in the loss of
containers,  which,  in turn,  may have a material  impact on the  Partnership's
results of operations  and  financial  condition.  The General  Partners are not
aware of any  conditions  as of December 31, 1998,  which would result in such a
risk materializing.

Other risks of the Partnership's  leasing  operations include  competition,  the
cost of  repositioning  containers  after  they come  off-lease,  the risk of an
uninsured  loss,  increases in maintenance  expenses or other costs of operating
the  containers,  and the effect of world trade,  industry trends and/or general
business and economic cycles on the Partnership's operations. See "Risk Factors"
in the Partnership's Prospectus, as supplemented,  for additional information on
risks of the Partnership's business.

Readiness for Year 2000

Many computer systems may experience difficulty processing dates beyond the year
1999; as a  consequence,  some computer  hardware and software at many companies
will need to be modified  or replaced  prior to the year 2000 in order to remain
functional.  The  Partnership  relies on the  financial  and  operating  systems
provided  by the  General  Partners;  these  systems  include  both  information
technology (IT) systems as well as non-information  technology (non-IT) systems.
For  IT  and   non-IT   systems   developed   by   independent   third   parties
(externally-developed)  the General Partners have obtained  representations from
their vendors and suppliers  that these systems are Year 2000 compliant and have
internally tested mission critical systems as operational.  The General Partners
have  reviewed  all  internally-developed  IT and non-IT  systems  for Year 2000
issues and  identified  certain of these systems which  required  revision.  The
General  Partners have  completed  the revision and testing of these  identified
systems, and these revised systems are now operational.

The cost of the revisions and testing  relating to these systems was incurred by
TEM and a  portion  of the  cost was  allocated  to the  Partnership  as part of
general and administrative costs allocated from TEM. While Year 2000 remediation
costs were not  specifically  identified,  it is estimated  that total Year 2000
related expenses included in allocated overhead from TEM were less than $10. The
Partnership  and the General  Partners do not anticipate  incurring  significant
additional  remediation costs related to the Year 2000 issue.  There has been no
material  effect  on  the  Partnership's  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations as a result of TEM's delay in routine systems projects as a result of
Year 2000 remediation.

As noted  above,  Year 2000  compliance  testing was  undertaken  by the General
Partners  on  both  externally-  and  internally-developed   systems.   Standard
transactions  were  processed  under  simulated  operating  conditions for dates
crossing  over  January  1, 2000 as well as for  other  critical  dates  such as
February 29, 2000. In the standard  business  scenarios  tested,  the identified
systems  appeared  to  function  correctly.   Under  nonstandard  conditions  or
unforeseen  scenarios,  the results may be  different.  Therefore,  these tests,
regardless of how  carefully  they were  conducted,  cannot  guarantee  that the
General  Partners'  systems  will  function  without  error in the Year 2000 and
beyond.  If these  systems  are not  operational  in the Year 2000,  the General
Partners have determined that they can operate manually for approximately two to
three months while correcting the system problems before  experiencing  material
adverse  effects on the  Partnership's  and the General  Partners'  business and
results of operations.  However,  shifting  portions of the daily  operations to
manual  processes  may result in time  delays and  increased  processing  costs.
Additionally,  the Partnership  and General  Partners may not be able to provide
lessees  with timely and  pertinent  information,  which may  negatively  affect
customer  relations and lead to the potential  loss of lessees,  even though the
immediate  monetary  consequences  of this  would  be  limited  by the  standard
Partnership lease agreements between the lessees and the Partnership.

The Partnership and the General Partners are also continuing their assessment of
Year 2000  issues  with third  parties,  comprised  of  lessees,  manufacturers,
depots,  and other  vendors and  suppliers,  with whom the  Partnership  and the
General  Partners  have  a  material  business   relationship  (Third  Parties).
Currently,   the  Partnership  and  the  General  Partners  believe  that  if  a
significant  portion of its lessees is non-compliant for a substantial length of
time, the Partnership's  operations and financial  condition would be materially
adversely  affected.  Non-compliance  by other Third  Parties is not expected to
have a material effect on the Partnership's  results of operations and financial
condition.  The General  Partners  have sent  letters to lessees and other Third
Parties  requesting  representations  on their Year 2000 readiness.  The General
Partners have  received  responses to 53% of the letters sent with all but three
respondents  representing  that  they  are  or  will  be  Year  2000  compliant.
Non-compliance  by these three  respondents  is not  expected to have a material
adverse  effect on the  Partnership's  operations  or financial  condition.  The
General  Partners  are  continuing  to follow up with  non-respondents  and will
continue to identify  additional  Third Parties whose Year 2000 readiness should
be assessed.  As this  assessment has not been completed,  the General  Partners
have not yet assumed that a lack of response means that any non-responding Third
Parties will not be Year 2000 compliant.

Nevertheless,  the  Partnership and the General  Partners  believe that they are
likely to encounter Year 2000 problems with certain Third Parties,  particularly
those  with  significant  operations  within  countries  that  are not  actively
promoting  correction of Year 2000 issues.  Possible  consequences  of Year 2000
non-compliance  among Third Parties  include,  but are not limited to, (i) TEM's
inability  to  provide  service to certain  areas of the world,  (ii)  delays in
container  movement,  (iii)  payment  and  collection  difficulties,   and  (iv)
invoicing errors due to late reporting of transactions.  These types of problems
could  result in  additional  operating  costs and loss of lessee  business.  As
discussed  above,  the General  Partners are prepared to shift portions of their
daily operations to manual processes in the event of Third Party non-compliance.
With respect to manufacturers, vendors and other suppliers, the General Partners
would also  attempt  to find  alternate  sources  for goods and  services.  With
respect to depots and agents who handle,  inspect or repair  containers,  if the
majority of the  computer  systems  and  networks  of TEM are  operational,  the
General Partners believe that they will be able to compensate manually for these
Third  Parties'  failures  (e.g.,  one field  office  performing  data entry for
another,  communication  with  depots  conducted  without  computers),  by using
temporary  personnel at additional cost.  Although costs will be incurred to pay
for the temporary  personnel,  the Partnership  and the General  Partners do not
expect these costs to be material to the  Partnership.  With respect to lessees'
non-compliance,   the  General  Partners  would  compensate  for  communications
failures  manually.  If a  lessee's  noncompliance  is broad  enough to  disrupt
significantly  the  operations of its shipping  business,  the resulting loss of
revenue could result in the lessee renting fewer containers. The Partnership and
the  General  Partners  are unable to  estimate  the  financial  impact of these
problems,  but to the extent that lessees'  problems result in weakening  demand
for  containers,  the  Partnership's  results  of  operations  would  likely  be
adversely  affected.  If Year 2000  problems  result  in delays in  collections,
either  because of the additional  time required to communicate  with lessees or
because of  lessees'  loss of  revenues,  the  Partnership's  cash flow could be
affected and distributions to general and limited partners could be reduced. The
Partnership  and the General  Partners  believe that these risks are inherent in
the industry and are not specific to the Partnership or General Partners.

Forward-Looking Statements and Other Risk Factors Relating to Year 2000

The foregoing analysis of Year 2000 issues includes  forward-looking  statements
and  predictions  about  possible or future  events,  results of operations  and
financial condition. As such, this analysis may prove to be inaccurate,  because
of the  assumptions  made by the  Partnership  and the  General  Partners or the
actual development of future events. No assurance can be given that any of these
forward-looking  statements and predictions  will ultimately prove to be correct
or  even  substantially  correct.  Some  of the  risks  relating  to  Year  2000
compliance are described above. In addition,  in analyzing Year 2000 issues, the
Partnership and the General Partners have assumed that the infrastructure of the
United States and most other  countries,  including  ports and customs,  remains
intact.  If the  infrastructure  of one or  more  countries  were to  fail,  the
resulting  business  disruption  would  likely  have an  adverse  effect  on the
Partnership and the General  Partners.  The Partnership and General Partners are
unable to determine a reasonably  likely worst case  scenario in the event of an
infrastructure failure or failures.

Various  other risks and  uncertainties  could also affect the  Partnership  and
could affect the Year 2000 analysis, causing the effect on the Partnership to be
more severe than discussed above. These risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, the following.  The Partnerships' and the General Partners' Year
2000 compliance testing cannot guarantee that all computer systems will function
without error beyond the Year 2000. Tests were only conducted of normal business
scenarios, and no independent verification or testing was used. Risks also exist
with respect to Year 2000 compliance by Third Parties,  such as the risk that an
external  party,  who may have no  relationship  to the  Partnership  or General
Partners, but who has a significant relationship with one or more Third Parties,
may have a system failure that adversely  affects the  Partnership's  ability to
conduct  its  business.  While the  Partnership  and the  General  Partners  are
attempting  to identify such  external  parties,  no assurance can be given that
they will be able to do so. Furthermore, Third Parties with direct relationships
with the  Partnership,  whose systems have been  identified as likely to be Year
2000 compliant,  may suffer a breakdown due to unforeseen  circumstances.  It is
also possible that the information  collected by the General Partners from these
Third Parties regarding their compliance with Year 2000 issues may be incorrect.
Finally,  it should be noted that the  foregoing  discussion of Year 2000 issues
assumes that to the extent the General Partners' systems fail, either because of
unforeseen  complications  or because of Third  Parties'  failure,  switching to
manual  operations  will  allow the  Partnership  to  continue  to  conduct  its
business. While the Partnership and the General Partners believe this assumption
to be reasonable,  if it is incorrect,  the Partnership's  results of operations
would likely be adversely affected.

                          Independent Auditors' Report



The Partners
Textainer Equipment Income Fund VI, L.P.:

We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of Textainer  Equipment Income
Fund VI, L.P. (a  California  limited  partnership)  as of December 31, 1998 and
1997 and the related statements of operations,  partners' capital and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year  period ended  December 31, 1998.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility  is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 Textainer Equipment Income Fund
VI, L.P. as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations, its
partners'  capital  and its cash  flows for each of the years in the  three-year
period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

TEXTAINER EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND VI, L.P.
(A California Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996 
(Amounts in thousands  except for unit and per unit amounts)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)  Nature of Operations

      Textainer  Equipment Income Fund VI, L.P. (TEIF VI or the Partnership),  a
      California  limited  partnership,  with a maximum  life of 21  years,  was
      formed on February 1, 1995.  The  Partnership  was formed to engage in the
      business  of  owning,  leasing  and  selling  both new and used  equipment
      related  to  the  international  containerized  cargo  shipping  industry,
      including,  but not limited to,  containers,  trailers and other container
      related equipment.  TEIF VI offered units representing limited partnership
      interests  (Units) to the public from May 10,  1996 until April 30,  1997,
      the close of the offering period, when a total of 1,848,397 Units had been
      purchased for a total of $36,968.

      Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC) is the managing general partner of the
      Partnership.  Textainer  Equipment  Management Limited (TEM) and Textainer
      Limited (TL) are the associate  general partners of the  Partnership.  The
      managing  general partner and associate  general partners are collectively
      referred to as the General Partners. The General Partners also act in this
      capacity  for other  limited  partnerships.  Prior to its  liquidation  in
      October 1998,  Textainer  Acquisition  Services  Limited  (TAS),  a former
      affiliate  of the  General  Partners,  performed  services  related to the
      acquisition  of  containers  outside  the  United  States on behalf of the
      Partnership.  Effective  November 1998, these services are being performed
      by TEM. TCC Securities  Corporation (TSC), a licensed broker and dealer in
      securities  and an  affiliate  of the General  Partners,  was the Managing
      Sales  Agent  for the  offering  of Units  for sale.  TSC was  closed  and
      liquidated in December 1998. TCC, TEM and TL are subsidiaries of Textainer
      Group Holdings  Limited (TGH). The General Partners manage and control the
      affairs of the Partnership.

      The General Partners' interest in the Partnership is 9.5%, and the General
      Partners were  responsible for paying,  out of their own corporate  funds,
      all  organizational  and certain offering  expenses incurred in connection
      with the offering and all acquisition  costs incurred related to container
      purchases. Such costs have not been recorded by the Partnership.

      (b)  Basis of Accounting

      The  Partnership  utilizes the accrual  method of  accounting.  Revenue is
      recorded  when  earned  according  to the  terms of the  container  rental
      contracts.  These  contracts are classified as operating  leases or direct
      financing   leases  if  they  so  qualify  under  Statement  of  Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 13: "Accounting for Leases". Substantially all of
      the  Partnership's  rental  income was  generated  from the leasing of the
      Partnership's containers under short-term operating leases.

      (c)  Use of Estimates

      Certain   estimates  and  assumptions  were  made  by  the   Partnership's
      management that affect the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosures  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date of the
      financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts of revenue and  expenses
      during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could  differ  from those
      estimates.

      (d)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      In accordance  with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 107,
      "Disclosures  about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments," the Partnership
      calculates  the fair value of  financial  instruments  and  includes  this
      additional  information in the notes to the financial  statements when the
      fair  value  is  different   than  the  book  value  of  those   financial
      instruments.  At  December  31,  1998  and  1997,  the  fair  value of the
      Partnership's  financial instruments approximate the related book value of
      such instruments.

      (e)  Container Rental Equipment

      Container  rental  equipment  is  recorded  at  the  cost  of  the  assets
      purchased,  which includes  acquisition fees, less  depreciation  charged.
      Depreciation of new containers is computed using the straight-line  method
      over an  estimated  useful life of 12 years to a 28% salvage  value.  Used
      containers are  depreciated  based upon their estimated  remaining  useful
      life at the date of  acquisition  (from 2 to 11  years).  When  assets are
      retired  or  otherwise  disposed  of,  the  cost and  related  accumulated
      depreciation  are removed from the  equipment  accounts and any  resulting
      gain or loss is recognized in income for the period.

      In  accordance  with the Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
      121,  "Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived
      Assets  to be  Disposed  of"  (SFAS  121),  the  Partnership  periodically
      compares  the carrying  value of its  containers  to expected  future cash
      flows for the purpose of  assessing  the  recoverability  of the  recorded
      amounts.  If the carrying value exceeds  expected  future cash flows,  the
      assets are written down to estimated fair value.  In addition,  containers
      identified  for disposal  are recorded at the lower of carrying  amount or
      fair value less cost to sell.

      New  container  prices have been  declining  since  1995,  and the cost of
      purchasing new containers at year-end 1998 was significantly less than the
      cost of containers  purchased in the last several years.  The  Partnership
      has  evaluated  the  recoverability  of the  recorded  amount of container
      rental  equipment and determined that a reduction to the carrying value of
      the containers was not required  during the years ended December 31, 1998,
      1997 and 1996.

      (f)  Nature of Income from Operations

      Although  substantially all of the Partnership's income from operations is
      derived from assets employed in foreign operations,  virtually all of this
      income  is  denominated  in  United  States  dollars.   The  Partnership's
      customers  are  international  shipping  lines  that  transport  goods  on
      international  trade routes.  The domicile of the lessee is not indicative
      of where the lessee is  transporting  the  containers.  The  Partnership's
      business risk in its foreign operations lies with the  creditworthiness of
      the lessees rather than the  geographic  location of the containers or the
      domicile of the lessees.

      For the year ended  December  31, 1998 and 1997,  revenue  from one lessee
      accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's  revenues,  with revenues
      of 12% and 13%,  respectively.  For the year ended  December 31, 1996, two
      lessees each  accounted for more than 10% of the  Partnership's  revenues,
      with  revenues of 19% and 15%. No other single  lessee  accounted for more
      than 10% of the Partnership's revenues during 1998, 1997 and 1996.

      (g)  Allocation of Net Earnings and Partnership Distributions

      In accordance with the Partnership  Agreement,  net earnings or losses and
      distributions  are generally  allocated  9.5% to the General  Partners and
      90.5% to the  Limited  Partners.  However,  notwithstanding  this  general
      allocation,  gross income, as defined in the Partnership Agreement,  shall
      be  specially  allocated  each year to the General  Partners to the extent
      necessary  to cause  their  Capital  Account  balances to be not less than
      zero,  beginning in the year  following the close of the offering  period.
      During the year ended  December  31,  1998,  a special  allocation  of net
      earnings of $868 was made to the General Partners.

      Actual  cash  distributions  to  the  Limited  Partners  differ  from  the
      allocated net earnings as presented in these financial  statements because
      cash  distributions  are based on cash  available for  distribution.  Cash
      distributions  are paid to the general  and limited  partners on a monthly
      basis in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Some
      limited partners have elected to have their  distributions paid quarterly.
      The Partnership  has recorded  deferred  distributions  of $42 and $58, at
      December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

      (h)  Income Taxes

      The Partnership is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly,  no provision
      for income taxes has been made.  The  Partnership  files federal and state
      information  returns  only.  Taxable  income or loss is  reportable by the
      individual partners.

      (i)  Recovery Costs

      The  Partnership  accrues an estimate  for  recovery  costs as a result of
      defaults under its leases that it expects to incur, which are in excess of
      estimated insurance  proceeds.  At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the amounts
      accrued were $60 and $34, respectively.

      (j)  Damage Protection Plan

      The  Partnership  offers a Damage  Protection Plan (DPP) to lessees of its
      containers.  Under  the terms of DPP,  the  Partnership  earns  additional
      revenues  on a daily  basis  and,  in return,  has agreed to bear  certain
      repair costs. It is the  Partnership's  policy to recognize these revenues
      when earned and provide a reserve  sufficient  to cover the  Partnership's
      obligation for estimated future repair costs. DPP expenses are included in
      direct container  expenses on the Statements of Operations and the related
      reserve at December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $124 and $79, respectively.

      (k)  Limited Partners' Per Unit Share of Net Earnings and Distributions

      Limited  partners'  per unit share of both net earnings and  distributions
      were  computed  using the  weighted  average  number of units  outstanding
      during  the years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996,  which were
      1,848,397, 1,784,694 and 690,089, respectively.

Note 2.  Transactions with Affiliates

      During the offering period the Partnership paid a managing sales agent fee
      to TSC  of up to 9% of  the  gross  proceeds  from  the  sale  of  limited
      partnership   units,  from  which  TSC  paid  commissions  to  independent
      participating broker/dealers who participated in the offering. The amounts
      of the managing sales agent fee and the  broker/dealers'  commissions were
      determined   by  the  volume  of  Units  sold  to  each  investor  by  the
      broker/dealers.  These  fees and  commissions,  which  totaled  $1,065 and
      $2,262 during 1997 and 1996,  respectively,  were deducted as  syndication
      and  offering  costs  in the  determination  of the net  limited  partners
      contribution.  The  General  Partners  or TSC have paid,  out of their own
      corporate  funds,  all other  organization,  offering and Unit sales costs
      incurred by the General Partners or TSC.

      As part of the operation of the Partnership,  the Partnership is to pay to
      the  General  Partners,  or TAS  prior to its  liquidation,  an  equipment
      management fee, an incentive  management fee and an equipment  liquidation
      fee. These fees are for various  services  provided in connection with the
      administration and management of the Partnership. The Partnership incurred
      $146,  $148 and $26 of incentive  management fees during each of the three
      years ended  December 31, 1998,  1997 and 1996.  No equipment  liquidation
      fees were incurred during these periods.

      The  Partnership's  containers are managed by TEM. In its role as manager,
      TEM has authority to acquire, hold, manage, lease, sell and dispose of the
      containers.  TEM holds,  for the payment of direct operating  expenses,  a
      reserve of cash that has been collected from leasing operations; such cash
      is included in due from  affiliates  at December 31, 1998. At December 31,
      1997, no such cash balance was held by TEM for the Partnership.

      Subject to certain reductions, TEM receives a monthly equipment management
      fee equal to 7% of gross lease revenues  attributable to operating  leases
      and 2% of gross lease revenues attributable to full payout net leases. For
      the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, these fees totaled $437,
      $406 and $267.  The  Partnership's  containers  are leased by TEM to third
      party lessees on operating  master  leases,  spot leases,  full payout net
      leases and term  leases.  The  majority  of the  Partnership's  leases are
      operating leases with limited terms and no purchase option.

      Certain  indirect  general  and  administrative  costs  such as  salaries,
      employee  benefits,   taxes  and  insurance  are  incurred  in  performing
      administrative  services  necessary to the  operation of the  Partnership.
      These  costs  are  incurred  and paid by TEM and TCC.  Total  general  and
      administrative costs allocated to the Partnership were as follows:

                                                   1998        1997        1996
                                                   ----        ----        ----

           Salaries                              $  186      $  197      $  155
           Other                                    157         166         134
                                                    ---         ---         ---
             Total general and
                administrative costs             $  343      $  363      $  289

      TEM allocates these general and administrative costs based on the ratio of
      the  Partnership's  interest  in  the  managed  containers  to  the  total
      container  fleet  managed by TEM during the period.  TCC  allocates  these
      costs  based on the  ratio of the  Partnership's  containers  to the total
      container  fleet of all limited  partnerships  managed by TCC. The General
      Partners allocated the following general and  administrative  costs to the
      Partnership:

                                                   1998        1997        1996

             Total general and
                administrative costs             $  343      $  363      $  289

      The General Partners,  or TAS through October 1998, may acquire containers
      in their own name and hold title on a  temporary  basis for the purpose of
      facilitating the acquisition of such containers for the  Partnership.  The
      containers may then be resold to the Partnership on an all-cash basis at a
      price equal to the actual cost, as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

      At  December  31,  1998 and  1997,  amounts  due from (to)  affiliates  is
      comprised of:

                                                              1998          1997

      Due to affiliates:
       Due to TL...........................................  $  26         $ 119
       Due to TEM..........................................      -            82
       Due to TCC..........................................      4         $  22

                                                             $  30         $ 223

      Included in the  amounts  due to TL at  December  31, 1997 is $29 in loans
      used to facilitate  container  purchases.  There were no loans between the
      Partnership and affiliates at December 31, 1998. These amounts  receivable
      from and payable to  affiliates  were  incurred in the ordinary  course of
      business  between the Partnership and its affiliates and represent  timing
      differences  in the accrual and  payment of  expenses  and fees  described
      above and in the accrual and remittance of net rental revenues from TEM.

      It is the policy of the  Partnership  and the  General  Partners to charge
      interest on amounts due to the General  Partners which are outstanding for
      more than one  month,  to the  extent  such  balances  relate to loans for
      container  purchases.  Interest is charged at a rate not greater  than the
      General  Partners'  or  affiliates'  own cost of  funds.  The  Partnership
      incurred  $1 and $81 of  interest  expense on amounts  due to the  General
      Partners  for the years ended  December  31, 1998 and 1996,  respectively.
      There was no  interest  expense  incurred  on amounts  due to the  General
      Partners for the year ended December 31, 1997.

Note 3.  Rentals under Operating Leases

      The following are the future  minimum rent  receivables  under  cancelable
      long-term  operating leases at December 31, 1998.  Although the leases are
      generally  cancelable  at  the  end of  each  twelve-month  period  with a
      penalty,  the  following  schedule  assumes  that the  leases  will not be
      terminated.

Note 4.  Note Payable

      The Partnership had a short-term  revolving credit facility (the Facility)
      with an available limit of $25,000, which expired June 30, 1997, which was
      used for container purchases.  Balances borrowed under the credit facility
      bore interest at either the Prime Rate plus .25%, or LIBOR plus 1.75%, and
      were  secured by all assets of the  Partnership.  The  Partnership  paid a
      commitment  fee of 1/2% per annum on the unused  portion of the  Facility.
      This fee, as well as the  interest on any  amounts  borrowed,  was payable
      quarterly in arrears. The Facility was repaid in full on March 31, 1997.

      At December  31, 1996,  the  Partnership  had  borrowed  $8,780 under this
      Facility to finance  container  purchases and maintained  restricted  cash
      collateral   deposits  of  $991.  The  cash   collateral  was  held  in  a
      market-rate, interest-bearing checking account. The account was restricted
      in use and pledged as collateral for the Facility.

Note 5.  Income Taxes

      During  the years  ended  December  31,  1998,  1997 and 1996,  there were
      temporary differences of $10,546, $7,058 and $3,836, respectively, between
      the financial  statement  carrying value of certain assets and liabilities
      and the  federal  income  tax basis of such  assets and  liabilities.  The
      reconciliation  of net income (loss) for financial  statement  purposes to
      net loss for federal  income tax purposes for the years ended December 31,
      1998, 1997 and 1996, is as follows:

Note 6.   Readiness for Year 2000

      Many computer  systems may experience  difficulty  processing dates beyond
      the year 1999; as a  consequence,  some computer  hardware and software at
      many companies will need to be modified or replaced prior to the year 2000
      in order to remain functional. The Partnership relies on the financial and
      operating systems provided by the General Partners;  these systems include
      both information technology systems as well as non-information  technology
      systems.  There can be no assurance  that issues  related to the Year 2000
      will not have a material  impact on the  financial  condition,  results of
      operations or cash flows of the Partnership.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The Registrant has no officers or directors.

As described in the Prospectus, the Registrant's three general partners are TCC,
TEM and TL. TCC is the Managing  General  Partner of the Partnership and TEM and
TL are Associate  General  Partners.  The Managing General Partner and Associate
General Partners are collectively referred to as the General Partners.  TCC, TEM
and TL are wholly-owned or  substantially-owned  subsidiaries of Textainer Group
Holdings  (TGH).  The General  Partners act in this  capacity for other  limited
partnerships.  Prior to its liquidation in October 1998,  Textainer  Acquisition
Services  Limited  (TAS) was an affiliate of the General  Partners and performed
services  related to the  acquisition of equipment  outside the United States on
behalf of the Partnership. Effective November 1998, these services are performed
by TEM.  TCC  Securities  Corporation  (TSC),  a  licensed  broker and dealer in
securities  and an affiliate  of the General  Partners,  was the managing  sales
agent for the  offering  of Units for sale.  TSC was  closed and  liquidated  in
December 1998.

TCC,  as  the  Managing  General  Partner,   is  responsible  for  managing  the
administration  and operation of the  Registrant,  and for the  formulation  and
administration of investment policies.

TEM, an Associate  General Partner,  manages all aspects of the operation of the

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

      Section  16(a)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  requires  the
      Partnership's  General Partners,  policy-making  officials and persons who
      beneficially  own more than ten  percent  of the Units to file  reports of
      ownership  and  changes in  ownership  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
      Commission.  Copies  of  these  reports  must  also  be  furnished  to the
      Partnership.

      Based  solely on a review of the  copies of such  forms  furnished  to the
      Partnership or on written  representations  that no forms were required to
      be filed,  the  Partnership  believes that with respect to its most recent
      fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, all Section 16(a) filing requirements
      were complied with. No member of management or beneficial owner owned more
      than  10  percent  of  any  interest  in  the  Partnership.  None  of  the
      individuals  subject  to  Section  16(a)  failed to file or filed late any
      reports of transactions in the Units.
