                                     PART I

ITEM 1.      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


(a)       General Development of Business

          The Registrant is a California Limited Partnership ("the 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.

          The Registrant is a finite life entity, with a term ending on December
          31,  2016.  The  Registrant's  business  plan  calls  for it to  begin
          liquidating  its fleet of  containers at some time during or after its
          tenth full year of operations,  calculated  from the end of its public
          offering.  See the discussion  below under  "Narrative  Description of
          Business."

          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 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 a  worldwide  fleet of  transportation
               containers and leasing these containers to international shipping
               lines 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  certain  physical damage to containers.  (This
               later  arrangement is called the "Damage  Protection  Plan.") The
               Registrant,  and not the lessee,  is responsible  for maintaining
               the   containers   and   repairing   damage   caused   by  normal
               deterioration of the containers.  This maintenance and repair, as
               well as any repairs  required under the Damage  Protection  Plan,
               are performed in depots in major port areas by independent agents
               retained for the Registrant by the General  Partners.  These same
               agents  handle  and  inspect  containers  that are  picked  up or
               redelivered  by lessees,  and these agents store  containers  not
               immediately subject to re-lease.

               Container leasing companies compete with one another on the basis
               of lease rates, fees charged,  services provided and availability
               of  equipment.  By  maintaining  the highest  lease rates and the
               highest equipment  utilization allowed by market conditions,  the
               Registrant attempts to generate revenue and profit.

               Approximately half of the Registrant's  equipment is leased under
               master  operating  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 the
               lessee's  possession  (whether  or not it is actively  used),  is
               responsible  for  certain  types of damage,  and must  insure the
               container against liabilities.

               Equipment  not  subject to master  leases  may  instead be leased
               under long-term lease agreements. Unlike master lease agreements,
               long-term  lease  agreements  provide for containers to be leased
               for  periods  of between  three to five  years.  Such  leases are
               generally   cancelable   with  a  penalty  at  the  end  of  each
               twelve-month  period.  Another  type of lease,  a direct  finance
               lease,   currently   covers  a  minority  of  the   Partnership's
               equipment.  Under  direct  finance  leases,  the  containers  are
               usually  leased from the  Partnership  for the  remainder  of the
               container's  useful life with a purchase option at the end of the
               lease term.

               Leases  specify an array of port  locations  where the lessee may
               pick up or return the containers.  The Registrant incurs expenses
               in repositioning  containers to a better location when containers
               are  returned  to a location  that has an  over-supply.  Sales of
               containers in these low demand  locations can occur, if a sale is
               judged a better  alternative to repositioning  and re-leasing the
               container.

               The  Registrant  also  sells  containers  in  the  course  of its
               business  as  opportunities  arise,  at the end of a  container's
               useful life, or if market and economic conditions indicate that a
               sale  would  be  beneficial.  Sales  are  generally  made  when a
               container comes off lease.  Additionally,  when a lessee loses or
               completely  damages a container,  the Registrant is reimbursed by
               the lessee for the value of that container. See Item 7 herein.

               The Registrant also buys containers,  primarily with the proceeds
               from the sale of containers. The Registrant's business plan calls
               for it to stop buying containers at some time during or after its
               tenth  full  year of  operations,  measured  from  the end of the
               securities  offering period.  This plan is subject to the General
               Partners'  discretion to alter the time frame depending on market
               conditions.  This period of the Registrant's operations,  when no
               new  containers  are  bought,  is called its  liquidation  phase.
               Regular leasing  operations will continue during this phase,  but
               the  Registrant  will  allow  its fleet to  permanently  diminish
               through  sales  of  containers.  Once  the  Registrant  has  sold
               substantially all of its fleet and the liquidation phase has been
               completed  (which  may take six  years or  longer,  depending  on
               market   conditions),   the  Registrant   will  begin  its  final
               dissolution and the winding up of its business.

(c)(1)(vii)    During  the year  ended  December  31,  2003,  no  single  lessee
               generated  lease  revenue  which  was 10% or  more  of the  total
               revenue of the Registrant.

(c)(1)(x)      Among  the  various  container  leasing  companies,  the  top ten
               control  approximately  86% of the  total  equipment  held by all
               container  leasing  companies.  The  top  two  container  leasing
               companies  combined  control   approximately  26%  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 largest  standard dry freight  container  leasing company and
               manages  approximately 14% of the equipment held by all container
               leasing  companies.  The  customers  for  leased  containers  are
               primarily  international  shipping lines. 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 and allowing  lessees to gain concessions from lessors
               about price,  special charges or credits and, in certain markets,
               the age  specification  of the  containers  leased.  Furthermore,
               primarily  due to lower new  container  prices  and low  interest
               rates,  shipping  lines  now own,  rather  than  lease,  a higher
               percentage  of  containers.  The decrease in demand from shipping
               lines,  along with the entry of new leasing  company  competitors
               offering low container  rental rates,  has increased  competition
               among container lessors such as the Registrant.

               Furthermore, changes in worldwide demand for shipping have placed
               additional strains on competition.  Utilization of containers can
               be maximized if containers  that come  off-lease can be re-leased
               in the same location.  If demand for containers is strong in some
               parts of the  world  and weak in  others,  containers  that  come
               off-lease   may  have  to  be   repositioned,   usually   at  the
               Registrant's expense, before they can be re-leased. Over the last
               several years,  demand for goods brought into Asia has been lower
               than demand for goods  brought out of Asia.  This  imbalance  has
               created low demand  locations in certain  areas of  international
               shipping  routes,  where  containers  coming  off-lease after the
               delivery of goods cannot  quickly be  re-leased.  Shipping  lines
               have an advantage over container  leasing  companies with respect
               to these low demand  locations,  because the  shipping  lines can
               frequently   reposition  their  own  containers,   while  leasing
               companies have to find alternative  ways of  repositioning  their
               containers,  including  offering  incentives to shipping lines or
               paying directly for the repositioning.

(c)(1)(xiii)   The Registrant has no employees.  Textainer  Capital  Corporation
               (TCC),  the  Managing  General  Partner  of  the  Registrant,  is

               Registrant  and at December 31, 2003 had 3  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,  2003  had a total  of 149
               employees.

(d)            Financial  Information about Foreign and Domestic  Operations and

               The Registrant is involved in leasing containers to international
               shipping lines for use in world trade.  Approximately 10%, 7% and
               11% of the  Registrant's  rental  revenue  during the years ended
               December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, 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.  For  a
               discussion  of the risks of leasing  containers  for use in world
               trade, see "Risk Factors and Forward-Looking  Statements" in Item
               7 herein.

ITEM 2.           PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2003, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:

         20-foot standard dry freight containers                       4,740
         40-foot standard dry freight containers                       4,843
         40-foot high cube dry freight containers                      2,699
                                                                      ------
                                                                      12,282
                                                                      ======

During  December 2003,  approximately  85% of these  containers were on lease to
international  shipping  lines and the balance was being  stored  primarily at a
large number of storage depots located  worldwide.  Generally,  the  Partnership
sells containers when (i) a container reaches the end of its useful life or (ii)
an  analysis  indicates  that the sale is  warranted  based on  existing  market
conditions and the container's age, location and condition.

Part 201:

(a)    Market Information.

(a)(1)(i)           The Registrant's  limited partnership Units are not publicly
                    traded and there is no  established  trading market for such
                    Units. The Registrant has a program whereby limited partners
                    may  redeem  Units for a  specified  redemption  price.  The
                    program  operates  only when the  Managing  General  Partner
                    determines,  among other matters,  that payment for redeemed
                    Units  will not  impair the  capital  or  operations  of the
                    Registrant.

(a)(1)(ii)          Inapplicable.

(a)(1)(iii)         Inapplicable.

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 which will assist in evaluating the
financial  condition of the  Partnership  for the years ended December 31, 2003,
2002 and 2001.  Please refer to the  Financial  Statements  and Notes thereto in
connection with the following discussion.

Textainer  Capital  Corporation  (TCC) is the  Managing  General  Partner of the
Partnership.  Textainer Equipment Management Limited (TEM) and Textainer Limited
(TL) are Associate  General  Partners of the  Partnership.  The General Partners
manage and control the affairs of the Partnership.

Introduction

The  Partnership is a finite-life  entity whose  principal  business is to own a
fleet of  containers  for  lease to the  international  shipping  industry.  The
Partnership's revenues come primarily from the rental income generated by leased
containers  and, to a smaller  extent,  from services  related to rental income,
such as  handling  charges  paid by lessees.  The  Partnership's  revenues  are,
therefore,  dependent  on  demand  for  leased  containers.  Demand  for  leased
containers drives not only the percentage of the  Partnership's  containers that
are on lease (utilization),  but also, to a certain extent, the rental rates the
Partnership  can charge  under its  leases.  When demand  declines,  utilization
falls,  and the  Partnership has fewer  containers on lease,  often earning less
revenue,  and more containers  off-lease  incurring storage expense. In times of
reduced demand,  then, the Partnership has higher expenses and may have to offer
lessees incentives such as free rental periods or credits.  The General Partners
try at all times to take  advantage  of the  opportunities  created by different
levels of demand for leased containers, either by changing services, lease terms
or lease rates offered to customers or by concentrating on different  geographic
markets.

Demand for containers is driven by many factors, including the overall volume of
worldwide  shipping,  the  number  of  containers  manufactured,  the  number of
containers  available  for lease in specific  locations  and the capacity of the
worldwide shipping industry to transport containers on its existing ships. Since
many of the  Partnership's  customers are shipping lines that also own their own
containers, the price and availability of new containers directly affects demand
for leased  containers.  If  shipping  lines have the cash or  financing  to buy
containers and find that alternative  attractive,  demand for leased  containers
will fall.  Current  demand and related  market  conditions  for  containers are
discussed  below  under  "Comparative  Results  of  Operations:  Current  Market
Conditions for Leased Containers."  Competition for shipping lines' business has
increased in recent years due to operational consolidations among shipping lines
and the entry of new leasing  companies  that  compete  with  entities  like the
Partnership. This competition has generally driven down rental rates and allowed
shipping lines to obtain other favorable lease terms.

The  Partnership  also  recognizes  gains  and  losses  from  the  sale  of  its
containers.  Containers  are  generally  sold either at the end of their  useful
life, or when an economic analysis indicates that it would be more profitable to
sell the  container  rather than to continue to own it. An example of the latter
would be when  re-leasing  a container  might be  relatively  expensive,  either
because of  expenses  required  to repair the  container  or to  reposition  the
container to a location where the container could be readily leased.

The sales  price of used  containers  is  affected by supply and demand for used
containers.  The Partnership's  containers are primarily sold to wholesalers who
subsequently  sell  to  buyers  such  as  mini-storage  operators,  construction
companies,  farmers and other non-marine users. Additionally,  if a container is
lost or completely damaged by a lessee,  the Partnership  receives proceeds from
the  lessee  for the  value  of the  container.  The  Partnership  counts  these
transactions  as sales,  as well as the more  traditional  sales to wholesalers.
Generally,  since  1998,  used  container  prices  have  declined,  causing  the
Partnership to realize less from the sale of its used containers. Used container
sales prices appear to have stabilized in 2002 and 2003.

The  Partnership's  operations  and  financial  results are also affected by the
price of new  containers.  The price for new  containers  has fallen since 1995.
This decrease has significantly depressed rental rates. This decrease has worked
to the Partnership's  advantage though, when, from time to time, the Partnership
has bought new containers. New containers are bought primarily with a portion of
the proceeds received from the sale of containers. In the discussion below, this
process is referred to as reinvestment in containers.

Generally,  reinvestment  in  containers  replaces  some,  but not  all,  of the
containers  sold by the  Partnership.  Therefore,  over time, the  Partnership's
container fleet shrinks,  and rental revenues decrease,  because there are fewer
containers available for lease.

The  Partnership's  business plan calls for it to stop  reinvesting at some time
during or after the tenth full year of operations,  measured from the end of the
securities  offering  period.  This plan is  subject  to the  General  Partners'
<PAGE>

discretion  to alter the time frame  depending  on market  conditions.  When the
Partnership   ceases  to  reinvest,   the  Partnership  will  have  entered  its
liquidation  phase,  and from that time forward,  will  distribute a substantial
portion of proceeds from the sale of containers to investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

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 $1.1 on June 17, 1996, and raised a total of $36,968 from
the offering.

Sources of Cash

Rental income and proceeds from container sales are the Partnership's  principal
sources  of  liquidity,   and  the  source  of  funds  for   distributions   and
reinvestment.  Rental income and  container  sales prices are affected by market
conditions for leased and used containers. Cash provided from these sources will
fluctuate based on demand for leased and used containers.  Demand for leased and
used  containers  is  discussed  more fully in  "Results  of  Operations."  Cash
provided  by  operating  activities  is  affected  by rental  income,  operating
expenses and the timing of both payments received from lessees and payments made
by the Partnership for operating expenses.  Additionally,  a continued stream of
rental  income is  dependent  partly on the  Partnership's  ability to  re-lease
containers as they come off lease.  See the  discussion of  "Utilization"  below
under "Results of Operations." Cash provided by proceeds from container sales, a
component  of cash from  investing  activities,  is  affected  by the  number of
containers sold, the sale price received on these containers,  and the timing of
payments received for these sales.  Previously reported cash from operations and
sales  proceeds  is not  indicative  of future  cash flows as these  amounts can
fluctuate significantly based on demand for new and used containers,  fleet size
and timing of the payments made and  received.  Fluctuations  in rental  income,
operating expenses, and sale prices for used containers are discussed more fully
in "Results of Operations."

Operating and investing activities are discussed in detail below.

Cash from Operations

Net cash provided by operating  activities for the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002, was $3,191 and $2,197, respectively. The increase of $994, or 45%, was
primarily  due to  the  improvement  in  net  earnings,  adjusted  for  non-cash
transactions  and  fluctuations in accounts  receivable and accounts payable and
accrued liabilities. Net earnings, adjusted for non-cash transactions, increased
primarily due to the increase in rental  income.  The decline in gross  accounts
receivable  of $7 for the year ended  December 31, 2003 was primarily due to the
decline in the average collection period of accounts  receivable,  offset by the
increase  in  rental  income.  Accounts  receivable  increased  $57  during  the
comparable period in 2002 primarily due to an increase in the average collection
period of accounts  receivable,  offset by the decline in rental income.  Rental
income is discussed more fully below under "Results of Operations."  The changes
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities  resulted from timing differences in
the payment of expenses and fees, as well as in fluctuations in these amounts.

Cash from Sale of Containers

Current Uses: For the years ended  December 31, 2003 and 2002,  cash provided by
investing  activities (the sale of containers) was $115 and $199,  respectively.
The decrease of $84 was primarily due to the Partnership  selling containers for
a lower average sales price during the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to
the equivalent  period in 2002. The Partnership  primarily sells containers when
they come  off-lease,  and an analysis  indicates  that the container  should be
sold.  Fluctuations between periods in the number of containers sold reflect the
age and condition of containers coming off-lease, the geographic market in which
they come off-lease, and other related market conditions.  Fluctuations can also
be  affected  by the  number  of  containers  sold to  lessees,  who pay for any
containers that are lost or damaged beyond repair.

Effect of Market  Conditions:  Market  conditions  can affect the  Partnership's
decision  to sell an  off-lease  container  by  making  it  more  likely  that a
container  will have to be  repositioned  before it can be  re-leased.  Existing
market  conditions  include a trade imbalance  between Asia and the Americas and
Europe which has created  locations with low demand for containers.  The sale of
containers in these areas is discussed below under "Results of Operations:  Sale
of Containers in Low Demand Locations Created by Current Market Conditions."

Effect of Container  Sales on Future Cash Flows and Container  Fleet: To date, a
significant  amount of the containers  sold have been  containers that have been
lost or  completely  damaged  by  lessees.  The sales  price  received  on these
containers is based on the container's book value. These sales prices are higher
than the sales prices received for off-lease  containers.  The sale of off-lease
containers sold has been limited  because of the young age of the  Partnership's
fleet.  As the fleet ages,  the  Partnership  expects  the  average  sales price
received for its containers to decrease,  as the number of off-lease  containers
sold  increases.  The decline in average sales price will leave smaller  amounts
available  for  reinvestment,  which  will be one of the  factors  reducing  the
Partnership's  fleet size in the future.  Further,  if current market conditions
continue to create low demand locations,  the Partnership  expects the number of
off-lease  containers  sold in these low demand  locations to increase  further,
which may further depress the average sales price.

Uses of Cash

Cash from operations is primarily used to pay  distributions  to partners.  Cash
from  operations  may also be used to  purchase  containers  and redeem  limited
partnership  units. The amount of cash from operations  available to reinvest in
additional  containers,  is  dependent  on (i)  operating  results and timing of
payments made and received;  (ii) the amount of distributions  paid to partners;
(iii) any redemption of limited partnership units and (iv) working capital.  The
amounts of  distributions,  redemptions  and working  capital are subject to the
General Partners'  authority to set these amounts as provided in the Partnership
Agreement.

Another source of funds for the purchase of new containers (or  reinvestment) is
the  proceeds  from the sale of the  Partnership's  containers.  The  number  of
containers  sold and the average sales price affect how much the Partnership can
reinvest in new containers using these proceeds.

From time to time,  the  Partnership  redeems 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.

These activities are discussed in detail below.

Distributions: Limited partners are currently receiving monthly distributions in
an annualized amount equal to 5% of their original  investment.  During the year
ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership  declared cash distributions to limited
partners  pertaining to the period from  December 2002 through  November 2003 in
the amount of $1,848,  which  represented  $1.00 per unit.  On a cash basis,  as
reflected  on the  Statements  of  Cash  Flows,  after  paying  general  partner
distributions,  all of these  distributions  were from  current  year  operating
activities.  On an accrual  basis,  as reflected on the  Statements of Partners'
Capital,  $704 of these distributions were from current year earnings and $1,144
was a return of capital.

Capital Commitments:  Container purchases

For the  years  ended  December  31,  2003  and  2002,  cash  used in  investing
activities (the purchase of containers) was $1,029 and $306,  respectively.  The
increase of $723 was primarily due to the Partnership  purchasing  significantly
more  containers  during the year  ended  December  31,  2003,  compared  to the
equivalent  period in 2002.  Fluctuations  between  the periods in the number of
containers  purchased  reflect  (i) the  amount of cash  available  to  purchase
containers; (ii) demand for leasing new containers;  (iii) the type of container
purchased and (iv) the purchase price of the container.

At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.

Capital Commitments:  Redemptions:  At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had no
commitments to redeem any units.

The  Partnership  invests  working  capital  and cash flow from  operations  and
investing  activities  prior to its  distribution to the partners in short-term,
liquid investments.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income  less  costs  and  expenses  (including  container  depreciation,  direct
container  expenses,   management  fees,  and  reimbursement  of  administrative
expenses) is primarily  affected by the size of its container  fleet, the number
of containers it has on lease  (utilization) and the rental rates received under
its leases. The current status of each of these factors is discussed below.

Size of Container Fleet

The following is a summary of the container fleet (in units) available for lease
during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

                                                   2003      2002      2001
                                                   ----      ----      ----

     Beginning container fleet...............    11,713    11,633    11,151
     Ending container fleet..................    12,282    11,713    11,633
     Average container fleet.................    11,998    11,673    11,392

The average  container  fleet  increased 3% and 2% from the years ended December
31, 2002 to 2003 and from December 31, 2001 to 2002, respectively.

Utilization

Rental  income and direct  container  expenses are also  affected by the average
utilization of the container fleet, which was 85%, 70% and 69% on average during
the years ended December 31, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  respectively.  The remaining
container fleet is off-lease and is being stored  primarily at a large number of
storage depots.  At December 31, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  utilization was 85%, 84%
and 61%,  respectively,  and the Partnership's  off-lease  containers (in units)
were located in the following locations:


                                              2003       2002        2001

                                             =====      =====       =====


Rental Rates

In addition to utilization, rental income is affected by daily rental rates. The
average daily rental rate for the Partnership's  containers decreased 7% and 11%
from the years ended  December  31, 2002 to 2003 and  December 31, 2001 to 2002,
respectively. Average rental rates declined primarily due to the decline in long
term lease  rates.  The  decline in average  rental  rates under  master  leases
between the periods was minor. The majority of the  Partnership's  rental income
was generated  from master  leases,  but in the past several years an increasing
percentage of the  Partnership's  containers  have been on lease under long term
leases. At December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, 50%, 42% and 43%, respectively, of
the Partnership's on-lease containers were on lease under long term leases. Long
term leases  generally  have lower rental rates than master  leases  because the
lessees have  contracted  to lease the  containers  for several years and cannot
return  the  containers  prior  to  the  termination  date  without  a  penalty.
Fluctuations  in rental rates under either type of lease  generally  will affect
the Partnership's operating results.

Comparative Results of Operations

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:


                                                 2003       2002      2001

     Income  from operations                   $  901     $   82      $606
     Rental income                             $5,383     $4,586    $4,893
     Percent change from previous
     year in
        Utilization                               21%         1%      (18%)
        Average container fleet                    3%         2%        5%
        Average rental rates                      (7%)      (11%)      (3%)


The  Partnership's  rental  income  increased  $797, or 17%, from the year ended
December  31,  2002  to  the  comparable   period  in  2003.  The  increase  was
attributable  to  increases  in income from  container  rentals and other rental
income,  which is discussed  below.  Income from  container  rentals,  the major
component of total revenue, increased $675, or 17%, from the year ended December
31, 2002 to 2003 primarily due to the increase in average utilization, offset by
the decline in average rental rates as detailed in the above table.

The decrease in rental income of $307,  or 6%, from the year ended  December 31,
2001  to 2002  was  attributable  to a  decrease  in  container  rental  income,
partially  offset by an increase in other rental  income.  Income from container
rentals  decreased $379, or 9%, primarily due to the decreases in average rental
rates.

Current  Market  Conditions  for Leased  Containers:  Beginning  in March  2002,
utilization  began to improve  and  improved  steadily  through the end of 2002.
Utilization   declined   slightly  in  the  first  quarter  of  2003,  which  is
traditionally  a slow period for container  demand,  improved  during the second
quarter  and was stable for the  remainder  of 2003.  Utilization  has  remained
relatively  strong due to a large  volume of export  cargo out of Asia, a larger
percentage  of  containers  under  long term lease and  efforts  by the  General
Partners to reduce the  quantities of containers  that lessees can return in low
demand  locations.  However,  rental rates continued to slowly decline primarily
due to low new container prices, low interest rates and low rental rates offered
by  competitors.  The General  Partners are cautiously  optimistic  that current
utilization  levels can be maintained  during the next several months.  However,
the General Partners caution that market  conditions could deteriorate again due
to global economic and political conditions.  Demand for leased containers could
therefore  weaken  again and result in a decrease  in  utilization  and  further
declines in lease rates and  container  sale  prices,  adversely  affecting  the
Partnership's operating results.

Sale of Containers in Low Demand Locations Created by Current Market Conditions:
Although demand for leased containers has improved,  the trade imbalance between
Asia and the Americas and Europe continues.  As a result, a large portion of the
Partnership's  off-lease  containers are located in low demand  locations in the
Americas  and Europe as  detailed  above in  "Utilization."  For these and other
off-lease containers, the Partnership determines whether these containers should
be sold or held for continued  use. The decision to sell  containers is based on
the current expectation that the economic benefit of selling these containers is
greater  than  the  estimated  economic  benefit  of  continuing  to  own  these
containers.  The majority of the  containers  sold in low demand  locations  are
older containers. The expected economic benefit of continuing to own these older
containers is significantly  less than that of newer containers.  This is due to
their  shorter  remaining  marine life,  the cost to  reposition  them,  and the
shipping lines' preference for leasing newer containers when they have a choice.
Until  demand for  containers  improves  in certain  low demand  locations,  the
Partnership  plans to continue selling some of its containers that are off-lease
in these locations rather than incurring the expense of repositioning  them. The
number of off-lease containers sold in low demand locations has been limited. As
the container fleet ages, this amount is expected to increase if existing market
conditions continue.

Other Income and Expenses

The following is a discussion of other income earned by the  Partnership and its
expenses:

Other Rental Income

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  related to leasing and
returning  containers (handling income) and income from charges to lessees for a
Damage Protection Plan (DPP).

For the year ended December 31, 2003,  other rental income was $714, an increase
of $122 from the equivalent  period in 2002. The increase in other rental income
was  primarily  due to  increases  in DPP and  location  income of $100 and $94,
respectively, offset by a decrease in handling income of $80.

For the year ended December 31, 2002,  other rental income was $592, an increase
of $72 from the  equivalent  period in 2001. The increase in other rental income
was primarily due to an increase in handling income of $72.

Direct Container Expenses

Direct container expenses decreased $28, or 2%, from the year ended December 31,
2002 to the  equivalent  period  in 2003.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due to
declines in storage and handling expenses of $360 and $43, respectively,  offset
by increases in  repositioning  and DPP expenses of $301 and $67,  respectively.
These changes are discussed in detail below.

Storage expense  decreased due to the increase in utilization  noted above and a
decline in the average  storage  cost per  container.  The  decrease in handling
expense was  primarily due to the decline in container  movement.  Repositioning
expense increased due to an increase in the average  repositioning  costs due to
(i) expensive  repositioning moves related to one lessee who required containers
to be  delivered  to certain  locations  and (ii) longer  average  repositioning
moves.  This  increase  was  partially  offset by the  decline  in the number of
containers  repositioned  between the  periods.  The increase in DPP expense was
primarily due to the increase in the number of containers covered under DPP.

Direct  container  expenses  were  comparable at $1,463 and $1,459 for the years
ended  December  31, 2002 and 2001,  respectively,  as the  increase in handling
expense  of $46 was  offset by the  decrease  in  repositioning  expense of $44.
Handling expense increased  primarily due to the increase in container movement.
Repositioning  expense  decreased  due to shorter  average  repositioning  moves
resulting in decreased average  repositioning costs per container,  offset by an
increase in the number of containers repositioned between the periods.

Bad Debt Expense or Benefit

Bad debt expense  (benefit)  was $23, $22 and ($8) for the years ended  December
31,  2003,  2002  and  2001,  respectively.  Fluctuations  in bad  debt  expense
(benefit) reflect the adjustments to the bad debt reserve, after deductions have
been taken  against the  reserve,  and are based on  management's  then  current
estimates of the portion of accounts  receivable that may not be collected,  and
which will not be covered by insurance.  These  estimates are based primarily on
management's  current assessment of the financial condition of the Partnership's
lessees  and their  ability  to make  their  required  payments.  See  "Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates" below. The expenses recorded during the years
ended  December  31,  2003 and 2002  reflect a higher  reserve  estimate,  after
deductions had been taken against the reserve,  from December 31, 2002 and 2001.
The benefit  recorded  during the year ended  December 31, 2001 reflects a lower
reserve  estimate,  after  deductions  had been taken against the reserve,  from
December 31, 2000.

Depreciation Expense

The increases in  depreciation  expense of $30, or 1%, and $155, or 8%, from the
years  ended  December  31,  2002  to  2003  and  December  31,  2001  to  2002,
respectively,  were primarily due to the  Partnership  revising its estimate for
container  salvage value in 2002 and increases in the average fleet size between
the periods.  Effective July 1, 2002, the  Partnership  revised its estimate for
container  salvage  value from a percentage  of  equipment  cost to an estimated
dollar residual  value.  The effect of this change resulted in an increased rate
of  depreciation  for the  last  half of 2002  and all of  2003.  For a  further
discussion of changes to  depreciation,  see "Critical  Accounting  Policies and
Estimates" below.

Gain and Loss on Sale of Containers

The  following  details the gain on the sale of  containers  for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

                                               2003       2002       2001
                                               ----       ----       ----

       Gain on container sales                 $  1       $ 16       $ 15

The amount gain on the sale of  containers  has  fluctuated  due to the specific
conditions of the  containers  sold,  the type of container  sold, the locations
where  the  containers  were  sold and their  net book  value,  rather  than any
identifiable  trend.  Nevertheless,  and as discussed above under "Liquidity and
Capital Resources," the Partnership does expect that the average sales price for
containers  sold  may  decline  in the  future,  due to (i) the sale of a higher
number of off-lease containers, as opposed to on-lease containers that were lost
or completely damaged by the lessee; and (ii) the sale of more containers in low
demand  locations.  Both of  these  factors  are  related  to the  aging  of the
Partnership's fleet. In general,  though,  container sales prices appear to have
stabilized,  after  declining for the past several  years,  as the average sales
price  for  containers  sold by TEM on  behalf  of other  container  owners  was
comparable for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

As noted above,  the price for new containers has  decreased.  As a result,  the
Partnership may incur  write-downs on containers  and/or may incur losses on the
sale of  containers  as  containers  are  identified as for sale or if container
sales prices  decline.  To date, the Partnership has not written down any of its
containers, but other Partnerships managed by the General Partners have recorded
write-downs  and losses on certain older  containers.  Many of these  containers
have been located in low demand  locations.  There have been no such write-downs
recorded by the Partnership,  and recorded losses have been minor, primarily due
to the young age of the Partnership's container fleet. However, as the container
fleet  ages,  the  Partnership  may incur  greater  losses  and/or  write-downs,
particularly  if  existing  market  conditions  continue  to create  low  demand
locations. See "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" below.

Management Fees and General and Administrative Costs

Management fees to affiliates  consist of equipment  management  fees, which are
primarily based on rental income, and incentive management fees, which are based
on the Partnership's  limited and general partner  distributions  made from cash
from operations and partners' capital.  The following details these fees for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

                                                 2003      2002       2001
                                                 ----      ----       ----

      Equipment management fees                  $377      $321       $342
      Incentive management fees                    85        85        103
                                                  ---       ---        ---
        Management fees to affiliates            $462      $406       $445
                                                  ===       ===        ===

Equipment  management fees fluctuated based on the fluctuations in rental income
and were  approximately  7% of rental  income for the years ended  December  31,
2003,  2002 and 2001.  Fluctuations  in  incentive  management  fees between the
periods were primarily due to fluctuations in the amount of  distributions  paid
from cash from operations.

General and  administrative  costs to affiliates  increased $11, or 4%, from the
year ended  December 31, 2002 to 2003.  The increase  was  primarily  due to the
increase  in  the  allocation  of  overhead  costs  from  TEM  and  TCC,  as the
Partnership  represented a larger  portion of the total fleet managed by TEM and
TCC.

General and administrative  costs to affiliates were comparable at $253 and $248
during the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

Other  general  and  administrative  costs  decreased  $62,  from the year ended
December 31, 2002 to the same period in 2003 and  increased  $38,  from the year
ended  December  31, 2001 to 2002.  These  fluctuations  were  primarily  due to
fluctuations in other service fees between the periods.

Contractual Obligations

The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  for the  ongoing  payment to the  General
Partners of the management fees and the reimbursement of the expenses  discussed
above.  Since these fees and expenses are  established  by the  Agreement,  they
cannot be considered the result of arms' length negotiations with third parties.
The Partnership Agreement was formulated at the Partnership's  inception and was
part of the terms  upon which the  Partnership  solicited  investments  from its
limited partners. The business purpose of paying the General Partners these fees
is to  compensate  the  General  Partners  for the  services  they render to the
Partnership.  Reimbursement  for  expenses  is made to offset  some of the costs
incurred by the General  Partners in managing the  Partnership and its container
fleet.
<PAGE>

Since the  Partnership  Agreement  requires the  Partnership  to continue to pay
these fees and  expenses  to the  General  Partners  and  reimburse  the General
Partners for expenses  incurred by them or other service  providers  selected by
the General Partners, these payments are contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain estimates and assumptions were made by the Partnership's management that
affect  its  financial  statements.  These  estimates  are  based on  historical
experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
These  estimates and assumptions  form the basis for making  judgments about the
carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ.

The Partnership's management believes the following critical accounting policies
affect its more  significant  judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
its financial statements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on
management's  current assessment of the financial condition of the Partnership's
lessees and their  ability to make their  required  payments.  If the  financial
condition  of the  Partnership's  lessees were to  deteriorate,  resulting in an
impairment  of their  ability to make  payments,  additional  allowances  may be
required, which would adversely affect the Partnership's operating results.

The General Partners have established a Credit Committee, which actively manages
and monitors the collection of  receivables  on at least a monthly  basis.  This
committee  establishes  credit limits for every lessee and  potential  lessee of
equipment,   monitors   compliance  with  these  limits,   monitors   collection
activities,  follows up on the  collection of outstanding  accounts,  determines
which  accounts  should be  written-off  and estimates  allowances  for doubtful
accounts.  As a result of  actively  managing  these  areas,  the  Partnership's
allowance for bad debt as a percentage of accounts receivable has ranged from 5%
to 9% and has averaged  approximately 6% over the last 5 years. These allowances
have historically covered all of the Partnership's bad debts.

Container  Depreciation  Estimates:  The  Partnership  depreciates its container
rental equipment based on certain  estimates  related to the container's  useful
life and salvage value. The Partnership  estimates a container's  useful life to
be 12 years,  an estimate which it has used since the  Partnership's  inception.
Prior to July 1, 2002, the Partnership  estimated  salvage value as a percentage
of equipment cost.  Effective July 1, 2002, the Partnership revised its estimate
for container  salvage value to an estimated  dollar residual value,  reflecting
current expectations of ultimate residual values.

The  Partnership  will  evaluate the  estimated  residual  values and  remaining
estimated  useful  lives on an on-going  basis and will revise its  estimates as
needed.  The  Partnership  will revise its estimate of residual  values if it is
determined that these estimates are no longer  reasonable  based on recent sales
prices and revised  assumptions  regarding future sales prices.  The Partnership
will revise its estimate of container  useful life if it is determined  that the
current  estimates  are  no  longer  reasonable  based  on  the  average  age of
containers  sold and revised  assumptions  regarding  future  demand for leasing
older containers.

As a  result,  depreciation  expense  could  fluctuate  significantly  in future
periods as a result of any  revisions  made to these  estimates.  A decrease  in
estimated   residual  values  or  useful  lives  of  containers  would  increase
depreciation expense,  adversely affecting the Partnership's  operating results.
Conversely, any increase in these estimates would result in a lower depreciation
expense,  resulting in an improvement in operating results.  These changes would
not affect cash generated from operations, as depreciation is a non-cash item.

Container  Impairment  Estimates:  Write-downs of containers are made when it is
determined  that the recorded  value of the containers  exceeds their  estimated
fair value. Containers held for continued use and containers identified for sale
in the ordinary  course of business are considered to have  different  estimated
fair values.

In  determining  estimated  fair value for a container  held for continued  use,
management must estimate the future  undiscounted  cash flows for the container.
Estimates  of future  undiscounted  cash flows  require  estimates  about future
rental  revenues to be  generated  by the  container,  future  demand for leased
containers,  and the length of time for which the  container  will  continue  to
generate  revenue.  To date,  management  has not found the  estimates of future
undiscounted  cash flows to be less than the recorded value of the Partnership's
containers.  Therefore,  the  Partnership  has not recorded any  write-downs  of
containers  to be  held  for  continued  use.  Estimates  regarding  the  future
undiscounted  cash flows for these containers  could prove to be inaccurate.  If
these containers are sold prior to the end of their useful lives and before they
are written down, as a result of being  identified as for sale, the  Partnership
may incur losses on the sale of these containers.

In  determining  estimated  fair value for a container  identified for sale, the
current estimated sales price for the container, less estimated cost to sell, is
compared to its recorded  value.  To date, the  Partnership has not recorded any
write-downs  of containers  identified  for sale.  See "Gain and Loss on Sale of
Containers" above.

The Partnership will continue to monitor the  recoverability  of its containers.
If actual market  conditions for leased containers are less favorable than those
projected,  if  actual  sales  prices  are lower  than  those  estimated  by the
Partnership,  or if the estimated useful lives of the  Partnership's  containers
were shortened,  write-downs may be required and/or losses may be incurred.  Any
write-downs  or  losses  would  adversely  affect  the  Partnership's  operating
results.

Risk Factors and Forward Looking Statements

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.

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,  including bad debts,  the risk of  technological  obsolescence,
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  "Critical  Accounting
Policies and  Estimates"  above for  information on the  Partnership's  critical
accounting  policies and how changes in those estimates  could adversely  affect
the Partnership's results of operations.

The foregoing includes forward-looking statements and predictions about possible
or  future  events,  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.   These
statements  and  predictions  may  prove  to  be  inaccurate,   because  of  the
assumptions  made by the  Partnership  or the  General  Partners  or the  actual
development  of  future  events.  No  assurance  can be given  that any of these
forward-looking statements or predictions will ultimately prove to be correct or
even substantially correct. The risks and uncertainties in these forward-looking
statements  include,  but are not  limited  to,  changes  in demand  for  leased
containers,  changes in global  business  conditions  and their  effect on world
trade,  future  modifications  in the way in  which  the  Partnership's  lessees
conduct their business or of the  profitability of their business,  increases or
decreases in new container prices or the availability of financing,  alterations
in the  costs  of  maintaining  and  repairing  used  containers,  increases  in
competition,  changes in the Partnership's ability to maintain insurance for its
containers and its operations,  the effects of political conditions on worldwide
shipping and demand for global trade or of other  general  business and economic
cycles  on the  Partnership,  as  well  as  other  risks  detailed  herein.  The
Partnership  does  not  undertake  any  obligation  to  update   forward-looking
statements.



ITEM 7A.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Exchange Rate Risk

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 does pay a small amount
of its expenses in various foreign  currencies.  For the year ended December 31,
2003,  approximately 9% of the Partnership's  expenses were paid in 17 different

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, 2003 and
2002, and the related  statements of earnings,  partners' capital and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year  period ended  December 31, 2003.  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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  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 Textainer Equipment Income Fund
VI, L.P. as of December  31, 2003 and 2002,  and the results of its  operations,
partners'  capital and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended  December 31, 2003 in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

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

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
(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.  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
     finance  leases based on the criteria of Statement of Financial  Accounting
     Standards No. 13: "Accounting for Leases."

     (c) Critical Accounting Policies and 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. The Partnership's  management  evaluates its estimates on
     an  on-going  basis,  including  those  related  to  the  container  rental
     equipment, accounts receivable and accruals.

     These  estimates  are based on historical  experience  and on various other
     assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
     results of which form the basis for making judgments regarding the carrying
     values of assets and  liabilities.  Actual  results could differ from those
     estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

     The following critical  accounting  policies are used in the preparation of
     its financial statements.

     The Partnership  maintains  allowances for doubtful  accounts for estimated
     losses  resulting  from  the  inability  of its  lessees  to make  required
     payments.  These allowances are based on management's current assessment of
     the financial  condition of the Partnership's  lessees and their ability to
     make their required payments.

     The Partnership depreciates its container rental equipment based on certain
     estimates  related  to the  container's  useful  life  and  salvage  value.
     Additionally, the Partnership writes down the value of its containers if an
     evaluation  indicates  that the  recorded  amounts  of  containers  are not
     recoverable  based on estimated  future  undiscounted  cash flows and sales
     prices.   These  estimates  are  based  upon  historical  useful  lives  of
     containers and container  sales prices as well as assumptions  about future
     demand for leased containers and estimated sales prices.

     (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,  2003  and  2002,  the fair  value  of the  Partnership's
     financial  instruments (cash,  accounts receivable and current liabilities)
     approximates the related book value of such instruments.

     (e)  Container Rental Equipment

     Container rental equipment is recorded at the cost of the assets purchased,
     less accumulated  depreciation charged. Through June 30, 2002, depreciation
     of new  containers  was  computed  using the  straight-line  method over an
     estimated  useful life of 12 years to a 28% salvage value.  Used containers
     were  depreciated  based upon their estimated  remaining useful life at the
     date of  acquisition  (from 2 to 11 years).  Effective  July 1,  2002,  the
     Partnership  revised  its  estimate  for  container  salvage  value  from a
     percentage  of  equipment  cost  to an  estimated  dollar  residual  value,
     reflecting current  expectations of ultimate residual values. The effect of
     this  change  for the year  ended  December  31,  2002 was an  increase  to
     depreciation expense of $105. 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  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 144,
     "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets" (SFAS
     144),  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 sale are recorded at the
     lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

     The  Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability  of the recorded  amount of
     container  rental  equipment for containers to be held for continued use as
     well as for  containers  identified  for  sale in the  ordinary  course  of
     business.  Based  on  this  evaluation,  the  Partnership  determined  that
     reductions  to the  carrying  value of these  containers  were not required
     during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

     (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.

     No single lessee  generated  lease revenue for the years ended December 31,
     2003,  2002,  and 2001  which was 10% or more of the total  revenue  of the
     Partnership.

     (g)  Allocation of Net Earnings and Partnership Distributions

     In accordance with the Partnership  Agreement,  sections 3.08 through 3.12,
     net earnings or losses and  distributions  are generally  allocated 9.5% to
     the General Partners and 90.5% to the Limited  Partners.  If the allocation
     of distributions  exceeds the allocation of net earnings (loss) and creates
     a deficit in a General Partner's capital account, the Partnership Agreement
     provides  for a special  allocation  of gross income equal to the amount of
     the deficit to be 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 $23 at both December
     31, 2003 and 2002.

     (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)  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  estimated  future
     repair costs. DPP expenses are included in direct container expenses in the
     Statements  of Earnings  and the related  reserve at December  31, 2003 and
     2002 was $147 and $77, respectively.

     (j)  Deferred Damage Protection Plan Revenue

     Under certain DPP coverage,  the  Partnership  receives a prepayment of the
     DPP revenue.  The Partnership  records these prepayments as Deferred Damage
     Protection  Plan Revenue and  recognizes  these amounts as revenue when the
     containers  are returned by the lessee.  At both December 31, 2003 and 2002
     these amounts were $114.

     (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, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  which was 1,848,397 for
     all years.

     (l)  Reclassifications

     Certain  reclassifications,  not affecting net earnings  (loss),  have been
     made to  prior  year  amounts  in order to  conform  to the 2003  financial
     statement presentation.

Note 2.  Transactions with Affiliates

     As part of the operation of the  Partnership,  the Partnership is to pay to
     the General Partners 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  $85,  $85 and  $103 of  incentive
     management  fees during each of the three years ended  December  31,  2003,
     2002 and 2001,  respectively.  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, net, at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

     Subject to certain reductions,  TEM receives a monthly equipment management
     fee equal to 7% of gross lease revenues  attributable  to master  operating
     leases  and 2% of gross  lease  revenues  attributable  to full  payout net
     leases.  For the years ended December 31, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  these fees
     totaled $377, $321 and $342, respectively.

     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:

                                           2003         2002         2001

            Other                           111           93          100

              Total general and
                 administrative costs      $264         $253         $248

     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  investors to the total number of investors
     of all limited partnerships managed by TCC or equally among all the limited
     partnerships  managed by TCC. The General Partners  allocated the following
     general and administrative  costs to the Partnership during the years ended
     December 31, 2003, 3002 and 2001:

                                           2003         2002         2001

              Total general and

     The  General  Partners  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. One or more General Partners
     may also arrange for the purchase of containers in its or their names,  and
     the  Partnership may then take title to the containers by paying the seller
     directly.

     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 remittance of expenses,
     fees and distributions described above and in the accrual and remittance of
     net rental revenues and container sales proceeds from TEM.

  Note 3.  Lease Rental Income (unaudited)

     Leasing income arises principally from the renting of containers to various
     international  shipping lines. Revenue is recorded when earned according to
     the terms of the container rental contracts.  These contracts are typically
     for  terms of five  years or less.  The  following  is the lease mix of the
     on-lease containers (in units) at December 31, 2003 and 2002:


                                                        2003         2002
                                                        ----         ----

            On-lease under master leases               5,168        5,714
            On-lease under long-term leases            5,232        4,144
                                                      ------        -----

                 Total on-lease containers            10,400        9,858
                                                      ======        =====

     Under  master  lease  agreements,  the lessee is not  committed  to lease a
     minimum number of containers from the Partnership during the lease term and
     may generally  return any portion or all the containers to the  Partnership
     at any time, subject to certain restrictions in the lease agreement.  Under
     long-term  lease  agreements,   containers  are  usually  leased  from  the
     Partnership  for periods of between  three to five  years.  Such leases are
     generally cancelable with a penalty at the end of each twelve-month period.
     Under direct  finance  leases,  the  containers are usually leased from the
     Partnership  for  the  remainder  of the  container's  useful  life  with a
     purchase option at the end of the lease term.

     The remaining containers are off-lease and are located primarily at a large
     number of storage depots.

ITEM 9.      CHANGES IN AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON ACCOUNTING AND
             FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

There have been none.

ITEM 9.A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation of the Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934),
the  managing  general  partner's  principal  executive  officer  and  principal
financial officer have found those controls and procedures to be effective as of
the end of the  period  covered by the  report.  There has been no change in the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
Partnership's  last fiscal quarter (the  Partnership's  fourth fiscal quarter in
the  case of an  annual  report),  and  which  has  materially  affected,  or is
reasonably likely materially to affect, the Partnership's  internal control over
financial reporting.

                                    PART III

ITEM 10.     DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The Registrant has no officers or directors.

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 subsidiaries of Textainer Group Holdings Limited (TGH). The General
Partners act in this capacity for other limited partnerships.

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
Registrant's equipment.

TL, an Associate  General Partner,  owns a fleet of container rental  equipment,
which is  managed  by TEM.  TL  provides  advice  to the  Partnership  regarding
negotiations  with financial  institutions,  manufacturers and equipment owners,
and regarding the terms upon which particular items of equipment are acquired.

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, 2003,  all Section 16(a) filing  requirements  were complied
with. No member of management or beneficial owner, owned more than 10 percent of
limited partnership 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.

1.   I have  reviewed  this annual  report on Form 10-K of  Textainer  Equipment
     Income Fund VI, L.P.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material  fact or omit to state a  material  fact  necessary  to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances  under which such statements
     were made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to the  period  covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and  other  financial
     information  included  in  this  report,  fairly  present  in all  material
     respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and I are  responsible  for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15(e) and  15d-15(e))  for the registrant and we
     have:

     a.)  designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
          registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
          which this annual report is being prepared;

     b.)  evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure  controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     c.)  disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying  officers and I have disclosed,  based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
     directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

     a.)  all significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b.)  any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting.
