                                     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  Partnership,  along  with five  other  limited  partnerships
               managed  by  the  general  partners  and  their  affiliates,  has
               negotiated  a sale  of  substantially  all of its  assets  in one
               transaction  (the "Asset Sale" or the  "Proposed  Asset Sale") to
               RFH, Ltd.  ("RFH" or the "Buyer").  The Asset Sale was subject to
               the  approval  of  limited  partners  holding a  majority  of the
               Partnership's  limited  partnership units at a Special Meeting of
               the limited  partners.  On March 21, 2005, the Special Meeting of
               limited partners was held and the limited  partners  approved the
               sale and the Partnership's termination and dissolution.  For more
               information on the meeting and its results,  see Item 4 below. On
               that same date, an Asset Sale Agreement  between the  Partnership
               and RFH became binding on the  Partnership.  As part of this sale
               transaction,  RFH  will  engage  Textainer  Equipment  Management
               Limited, one of the general partners, to manage the equipment RFH
               is buying, pursuant to a management agreement which is more fully
               disclosed under Item 13 below.

               Although the limited partners have approved the Asset Sale, it is
               not known whether or not the Asset Sale will close because of two
               lawsuits  filed in March  of 2005  and  described  in Item 3. The
               Asset Sale  Agreement,  provides,  among other  things,  that the
               Buyer is not  obligated  to  close  unless  specified  conditions
               precedent are  satisfied.  At least two of those  conditions  are
               affected  by the  lawsuits  discussed  in  Item 3.  One of  those
               conditions   precedent  is  that  no   preliminary  or  permanent
               injunction or other order issued by any federal or state court of
               competent  jurisdiction  in the  United  States or by any  United
               States  federal or state  governmental  or regulatory  body which
               restrains,   enjoins  or  otherwise  prohibits  the  transactions
               contemplated by the Asset Sale Agreement shall be in effect,  nor
               shall  any  request  for any  such  injunction  be  pending.  The
               lawsuits do seek such an  injunction.  Another  condition is that
               the following  representation  by the  Partnership be true in all
               material respects as of the closing:

                    "There are no actions,  suits or proceedings  pending, or to
                    Seller's knowledge,  threatened,  against Seller or the Sale
                    Containers  and the other  Sold  Assets  before  any  court,
                    arbitrator,  administrative  or  governmental  body that, if
                    adversely  determined,  would  hinder  or  prevent  Seller's
                    ability to carry out the  transactions  contemplated by this
                    Agreement  or affect the right,  title or interest of Seller
                    in the Sale  Containers  or the other Sold  Assets,  and, to
                    Seller's knowledge,  there is no basis for any such suits or
                    proceedings."

               The  pendency  of the  lawsuits  means that this  representation,
               though true when the Asset Sale  Agreement was  executed,  is not
               now correct.  The Asset Sale  Agreement  provides that unless the
               Buyer expressly waives these conditions (and any other conditions
               that are not satisfied) in writing, the Buyer is not obligated to
               consummate  the  purchase and sale of assets under the Asset Sale
               Agreement.  The Buyer has not notified the Partnership of what it
               intends to do.

               If the sale is  completed  in  accordance  with the  terms of the
               Asset Sale Agreement as executed on November 30, 2004, it will be
               effective as of January 1, 2005.  In that case,  the  Partnership
               had  originally  planned to  distribute  to the  partners the net
               proceeds of this sale,  plus any  previously  undistributed  cash
               from  operations and proceeds from the normal sale of containers,
               less estimated expenses expected to be incurred through the final
               winding up and termination of the Partnership.  The plans to make
               these distributions appear to be contested by at least one of the
               lawsuits.  The Partnership plans to terminate its existence after
               payment of the  liquidating  distributions,  but these  plans may
               alter  depending on the course of the lawsuits.  In the event the
               Asset Sale is not  completed,  the  Partnership  will  proceed as
               provided under its partnership agreement as amended.

               See Item 3 herein for a discussion of legal  proceedings  related
               to the above sale.  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  Partnership
               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  Partnership  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 Partnership,  in which case the Partnership agrees to pay the
               cost of repairing  certain  physical damage to containers.  (This
               later  arrangement is called the "Damage  Protection  Plan.") The
               Partnership,  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 Partnership 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
               Partnership attempts to generate revenue and profit.

               Approximately half of the Partnership'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 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 Partnership 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. See Item 1(a) and Item 7 herein.

(c)(1)(vii)    During  the year  ended  December  31,  2004,  no  single  lessee
               generated  lease  revenue  which  was 10% or  more  of the  total
               revenue of the Registrant.

(c)(1)(viii)   Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(ix)     Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(x)      Among  the  various  leasing  companies,   the  top  ten  control
               approximately  87% 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 Partnership and the
               manager of its marine container equipment,  is one of the largest
               standard  dry  freight  container  leasing  company  and  manages
               approximately  13% of the equipment held by all container leasing
               companies.  The  customers  for leased  containers  are primarily
               international  shipping  lines.  The  Partnership  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 as a result of
               lower new  container  prices and low  interest  rates in the past
               several  years,  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 Partnership.

               Furthermore,  changes in worldwide demand for shipping can create
               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
               Partnership'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.  The number and size of
               these low demand locations has recently been  decreasing,  due to
               improved  global  demand for  shipping,  but no assurance  can be
               given that this trend will continue.

               Beginning in 2004, a worldwide steel shortage caused  significant
               increases in new  container  prices and limited the number of new
               containers being built. As a result, demand for leased containers
               increased in the first  quarter of 2004 and has  remained  strong
               through 2004.

               The Registrant is involved in leasing containers to international
               shipping lines for use in world trade. Approximately 18%, 10% and
               7% of the  Registrant's  rental  revenue  during the years  ended
               December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2004, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:

                 20-foot standard dry freight containers            4,605
                 40-foot standard dry freight containers            4,597
                 40-foot high cube dry freight containers           2,666
                                                                   ------

                                                                   ======

During  December 2004,  approximately  96% 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.

See Item 7, "Results of Operations"  for more  information  about changes in the
size of the Registrant's container fleet,  container sales, and write-downs,  as
well as the location of the Registrant's off-lease containers.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 8, 2005, a lawsuit was filed in the United  States  District  Court for
the  Northern  District  of  California,   captioned:   Robert  Lewis  and  City
Partnerships  Co.,  Plaintiffs  v.  Textainer  Equipment  Income Fund II,  L.P.;
Textainer  Equipment Income Fund III, L.P.;  Textainer Equipment Income Fund IV,
L.P.;  Textainer Equipment Income Fund V, L.P.;  Textainer Equipment Income Fund
VI, L.P.; Textainer Equipment  Management Limited;  Textainer Financial Services
Corporation;  Textainer Capital  Corporation;  Textainer Group Holdings Limited;
John A.  Maccarone;  and  RFH,  LTD.,  Defendants,  Case  No. C 05 0969 MMC (the
"complaint").  The complaint seeks  certification as a class action on behalf of
holders  of  limited   partnership   units  of  the  Registrant  and  the  other
partnerships named in the complaint.

The complaint refers to the proxy statement sent on or about January 20, 2005 in
connection with the Special  Meeting of Limited  Partners held on March 21, 2005
for the  Partnership.  The  complaint  alleges  securities  law  violations,  by
material  misstatements and omissions in the proxy statement,  and also breaches
of fiduciary  duties by the General  Partners.  Plaintiffs  claim that the proxy
statement  fails to disclose  facts that  suggest  that the  purchase  price the
Partnership is receiving from the Asset Sale is inadequate.  The alleged omitted
fact is that the prices of  shipping  containers  have risen since the time that
the terms of sale were initially  agreed to in July 2004.  The General  Partners
are also alleged to have had  conflicts  of interest and self dealing  unfair to
the Limited  Partners in that they required that any purchaser retain one of the
general partner  entities as managing agent for the containers  purchased in the
Asset Sale,  thereby  continuing to profit from the increased prices of shipping
containers.  The complaint  further alleges that the Buyer aided and abetted the
General Partners in the breach of fiduciary duties.

The complaint seeks an injunction  against  proceeding with the Special Meeting,
an injunction  against  engaging in the Asset Sale or in the  alternative if the
injunction  is not  granted,  a  rescission  of the Asset  Sale or damages in an
unspecified amount.

On March 18, 2005, the request for a temporary restraining order was denied.

On March 21,  2005,  a second  lawsuit was filed in the United  States  District
Court for the Northern  District of California,  captioned  "Alan P. Gordon,  as
Trustee for the Gordon  Family Trust,  individually  and on behalf of all others
similarly situated,  Plaintiffs,  v. Textainer  Financial Services  Corporation;
Textainer  Equipment  Management Limited;  Textainer Limited;  Textainer Capital
Corporation; Textainer Group Holdings Limited; John A. Maccarone; and RFH, LTD.,
Defendants,  and TCC Equipment  Income Fund, a California  Limited  Partnership;
Textainer  Equipment Income Fund II, L.P.;  Textainer Equipment Income Fund III,
L.P.;  Textainer Equipment Income Fund IV, L.P.; Textainer Equipment Income Fund
V, L.P.; and Textainer Equipment Income Fund VI, L.P., Nominal Defendants," Case
No. C 05 1146 CRB (the "second complaint").

The second complaint seeks  certification as a class action on behalf of holders
of limited  partnership units of the Registrant and the other partnerships named
in the complaint.  This second complaint also alleges material misstatements and
omissions in the proxy statement,  resulting in securities law violations, which
in turn are alleged to have  deprived  the  plaintiffs  of a  legitimate  voting
process with respect to the Asset Sale. One of the material misstatements and/or
omissions  alleged in the proxy  statement is that the price at which the assets
are to be sold is  materially  lower than current  market values for the assets.
The plaintiffs are alleged to suffer  substantial  damages upon  consummation of
the Asset Sale. This second complaint further alleges breaches of fiduciary duty
by the general partners,  Textainer Group Holdings  Limited,  and Mr. Maccarone,
due to the facts that (i)  solicitation  of bids with  respect to the Asset Sale
was conditioned on the buyer's acceptance of a management  agreement with one of
the general  partners  covering the assets sold,  which  condition is alleged to
have deterred competing  container leasing companies from bidding for the assets
and (ii) the Asset Sale  Agreement  allowed  for the  purchase  price paid to be
adjusted  downward during a time when the prices for used containers are alleged
to have been  increasing.  A further  breach of  fiduciary  duty is  alleged  on
account of the failure to disclose all material facts concerning transactions in
which the defendants named in the preceding  sentence had a financial  interest.
The Buyer,  RFH,  is also  alleged to have aided and abetted  these  breaches of
fiduciary duty.

The second complaint seeks an injunction against the Asset Sale, or if the Asset
Sale is consummated,  the imposition of a constructive  trust on the assets sold
and the sales proceeds  received,  a  constructive  trust on the receipt of fees
paid under the management  agreement between one of the general partners and RFH
and  disgorgement  of those fees to the  plaintiffs,  damages in an  unspecified
amount, interest, reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and costs.


ITEM 4.      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITIES HOLDERS

Proxies were  solicited  beginning  in January of 2005 and a Special  Meeting of
Limited  Partners  was held on March 21,  2005.  Matters for which  proxies were
solicited  and votes taken at the Special  Meeting  were (i) the approval of the
sale of  substantially  all of the  assets  of the  Registrant  for cash and the
authorization of the dissolution,  winding up and termination of the Registrant;
(ii) the approval of certain amendments to the Registrant's  limited partnership
agreement  giving the managing  general  partner the power and authority to sell
the  Registrant's  assets  if the  Asset  Sale is not  completed;  and (iii) the
adjournment of the special meeting to solicit additional  proxies, if necessary.
The number of votes cast for and against,  as well as the number of  abstentions
is  detailed  under  Item 8.01 in the Form 8-K  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission on March 22, 2005,  which  information is  incorporated  by
reference.

               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.

(b)(2)         Inapplicable.

(c)     Dividends.


At  December  31,  2004  and  2003,  the  Registrant  paid  distributions  at an
annualized  rate  equal to 5% of a Unit's  initial  cost,  or  $1.00  per  Unit.
Distributions have been made monthly by the Registrant to its limited partners.

For  information  about the amount of  distributions  paid  during the five most
recent fiscal years, see Item 6, "Selected Financial Data."

The Partnership  made a January 2005  distribution  related to 2004  operations.
Since the Proposed  Asset Sale would be effective  January 1, 2005, if completed
in accordance with the terms of the Asset Sale Agreement as executed on November
30, 2004, the Partnership has temporarily suspended  distributions.  While there
is no guarantee that the Asset Sale will be completed,  if it is completed,  the
Partnership  had  originally  planned  to  make  liquidating   distributions  as
described  in  Item  1(a)  above.  If  the  Asset  Sale  is not  completed,  the
Partnership will resume paying monthly distributions.

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, 2004,
2003 and 2002.  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 reduce
revenues further by offering  lessees  incentives such as free rental periods or
credits.  Conversely,  in times of increased  demand,  rental revenues  increase
because the  Partnership  has more  containers on lease,  rental rates sometimes
rise,  and expenses will drop because the  Partnership  no longer incurs as many
charges to store or reposition off-lease containers. 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.  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.  Due to the recent rise in price for new
containers, though demand for leased containers by shipping lines has increased.
Current demand and related market  conditions for containers are discussed below
under "Results of Operations; Current Market Conditions for Leased Containers."

In addition to leasing  containers,  the Partnership  also sells containers from
time to time.  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 a  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.

Through  December  31, 2004,  the  Partnership  has  generally  sold  containers
individually.  As discussed below under  "Possible Sale of Partnership  Assets,"
the  Partnership  has entered  into an Asset Sale  Agreement  to sell all of its
remaining container fleet.

When the Partnership has sold its containers individually,  sales have primarily
been made 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  has  received  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,  from 1998 through 2002, used
container prices have declined, causing the Partnership to realize less from the
sale of its used containers.  Used container sales prices stabilized in 2002 and
2003 and increased in 2004.

The  Partnership's  operations  and  financial  results are also affected by the
price of new  containers.  The price for new  containers  fell from 1995 through
2003.  This decrease  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 and a portion of
cash provided by operations.  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.

During 2004, new container  prices  increased  significantly  due to a worldwide
shortage of steel, which resulted in limited availability of new containers. The
increase in new container prices and the limited  availability of new containers
has  improved  demand  for  the  Partnership's   containers.   See  "Results  of
Operations:  Current  Market  Conditions  for Leased  Containers"  for a further
discussion.

In June 2004, the  Partnership  compared the carrying value of its containers to
the anticipated estimated price to be realized in the proposed sale. Despite the
improvement in the market for used containers,  the Partnership still found that
the carrying value of some of its older,  more  expensive  containers was higher
than the anticipated estimated price to be realized in the sale. The Partnership
determined that these containers were impaired and recorded a write down expense
to reduce the carrying  value of these  containers  to their  anticipated  sales
price. See "Other Income and Expenses: Write Down of Containers" below.

Possible Sale of Partnerships Assets

In November 2004, the Partnership and five other limited partnerships managed by
the General  Partners and their  affiliates  entered into Asset Sale  Agreements
with RFH, Ltd. to sell  substantially  all of their assets. At a Special Meeting
of  Limited  Partners,  held on March 21,  2005,  the  limited  partners  of the
Partnership approved the Proposed Asset Sale.

It is not currently  known  whether the Asset Sale will be completed  because of
two lawsuits  regarding the Asset Sale,  which were filed in March of 2005. As a
result of these lawsuits,  the Partnership is unable to represent that it is not
subject to certain kinds of litigation, as required by the Asset Sale Agreement.
The Buyer may proceed  with the Asset Sale if it  chooses,  but the Buyer is not
now  obligated  to  consummate  the Asset Sale.  The Buyer has not  notified the
Partnership of what it intends to do. The lawsuits are further described in Item
3 above. If the Asset Sale is completed,  the Partnership had originally planned
to distribute to the partners the net proceeds of this sale, plus any previously
undistributed  cash  from  operations  and  proceeds  from  the  normal  sale of
containers,  less estimated  expenses  expected to be incurred through the final
winding  up  and  termination  of the  Partnership.  The  plans  to  make  these
distributions  appear  to be  contested  by at least  one of the  lawsuits.  The
Partnership  plans to terminate its existence  after payment of the  liquidating
distributions,  but  these  plans  may  alter  depending  on the  course  of the
lawsuits.  In the event the Asset Sale is not completed,  the  Partnership  will
continue operations.

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

If the Asset Sale is  completed in  accordance  with the terms of the Asset Sale
Agreement as executed on November  30, 2004,  it will be effective as of January
1, 2005, which will mean that almost all of the Partnership's sources of cash in
2005  will be the  proceeds  from  the  Asset  Sale.  If the  Asset  Sale is not
completed, expected sources of cash are described below.

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 year ended December 31, 2004
and 2003,  was $3,739 and $3,191,  respectively.  Net cash provided by operating
activities  increased  $548,  or 17%,  between the periods  primarily due to the
fluctuations in net (loss) earnings,  adjusted for non-cash items, offset by the
fluctuations in accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities.  Net (loss) earnings
adjusted for non-cash  items,  increased  primarily due to an increase in rental
income and decrease in direct container expenses. These items are discussed more
fully under "Results of  Operations."  The  fluctuation in accounts  payable and
accrued liabilities  resulted from timing differences in the payment of expenses
and fees and the remittance of net rental  revenues,  as well as in fluctuations
in these amounts.

Cash from Sale of Containers

Current  Sources:  For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, cash provided
from the sale of  containers  was $537 and $115,  respectively.  The increase of
$422, or 367%, was primarily due to the Partnership  selling  significantly more
off lease  containers and receiving a higher average sales price during the year
ended December 31, 2004, compared to the equivalent period in 2003. Fluctuations
between  periods in the number of containers sold and in the sales price 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 in
sales price between the periods can also be affected by the number of containers
bought by lessees,  who reimburse the  Partnership  for any containers  that are
lost or  completely  damaged  beyond  repair.  These  reimbursement  amounts are
frequently  higher than the average sales price for a container sold in the open
market when it comes off-lease.

Effect of Market  Conditions:  Market  conditions  can affect the  Partnership's
decision to sell an off-lease container. If demand for leased containers is low,
the Partnership is more likely to sell a container rather than incur the cost to
reposition the container to a location  where it can be re-leased.  If demand is
strong, the Partnership is less likely to identify the container as for sale, as
it is anticipated  that the container can be released in its current location or
repositioned to another location where demand is high. Although there were fewer
off-lease containers in low demand locations during 2004, compared to 2003, as a
result of the improved demand,  the Partnership sold more containers during 2004
compared to 2003.  The increase in the number of  containers  sold was primarily
due to an increase in the number of off lease containers sold as a result of the
aging of the  Partnership's  fleet and  increases  in the average  sale price of
these containers. Some of the market conditions affecting the sale of containers
are discussed below under  "Comparative  Results of Operations."  Primarily as a
result of an industry-wide decline in the number of containers being offered for
sale, the average sales price of used containers  increased in 2004 with respect
to the sale of off-lease containers in certain geographic markets.

Effect of  Container  Sales on Future Cash Flows and  Container  Fleet:  Through
2003, 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 number of off-lease
containers  sold through  2003 has been limited  because of the young age of the
Partnership's  fleet. If the Proposed Asset Sale of the Partnership's fleet does
not occur and the fleet continues to age, the Partnership  expects the number of
off-lease  containers  sold to continue to increase and the average  sales price
received  for its  containers  to continue to  decrease.  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.

Uses of Cash

Cash from operations is primarily used to pay  distributions  to partners.  Cash
from operations may also be used to purchase containers. 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  and (iii)  working  capital.  The  amounts  of
distributions 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.

The  Partnership  is also  authorized  to redeem  units from  limited  partners,
subject to the Managing General  Partner's  discretion.  Redemptions  would most
likely  be paid out of cash  from  operations,  although  since  inception,  the
Partnership has not redeemed any units.

Distributions and container purchases are discussed in detail below.

Distributions: During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Partnership declared
cash  distributions to limited  partners  pertaining to the period from December
2003 through November 2004 in the amount of $1,848 which  represented  $1.00 per
unit.  On a cash basis,  as reflected  in 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,  all of these  distributions  were a return of
capital.

The  Partnership  made a monthly  distribution  payment of $154 in January  2005
related to 2004  operations.  Since the  Proposed  Asset Sale would be effective
January 1, 2005,  if completed as  contemplated  by the Asset Sale  Agreement as
executed on  November  30,  2004,  the  Partnership  has  temporarily  suspended
distributions.  If the Asset Sale is completed,  the  Partnership had originally
planned to make two final liquidating distribution payments. These distributions
would  consist  of the net  proceeds  from the  Asset  Sale  and any  previously
undistributed  cash received from  operations  and proceeds from normal sales of
containers,  less estimated  expenses  expected to be incurred through the final
winding up and termination of the Partnership.  As noted under "Possible Sale of
Partnership  Assets," it is not  currently  known whether the Asset Sale will be
completed.  If the sale is  completed,  the  Partnership's  plans  to pay  these
liquidating distributions,  and the amount and timing of these distributions may
be affected by events in the lawsuits discussed above.

If the Asset  Sale is not  completed,  monthly  distributions  will  resume  and
partners  will  continue  to  receive   distributions  in  accordance  with  the
Partnership's previous distribution policy.

Capital Commitments:  Container purchases

For the years ended  December 31, 2004 and 2003,  net cash used for the purchase
of  containers  was $274 and $1,029,  respectively.  The decline in cash used to
purchase  containers  was  primarily  due to the  significant  increases  in new
container  prices in 2004 and then due to the Proposed  Asset Sale.  In general,
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, 2004, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.
If the  Proposed  Asset  Sale  is not  completed,  the  Partnership  anticipates
purchasing containers through the remainder of its operating period.

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  (loss) income from operations,  which consists  primarily of
rental  income less costs and expenses  (including  container  depreciation  and
write-downs,  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, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

                                              2004        2003        2002
                                              ----        ----        ----

       Beginning container fleet.......     12,282      11,713      11,633
       Ending container fleet..........     11,868      12,282      11,713
       Average container fleet.........     12,075      11,998      11,673

The average  container  fleet increased 1% and 3%, from the years ended December
31, 2003 to 2004 and 2002 to 2003, respectively.

Utilization

Rental  income and direct  container  expenses are also  affected by the average
utilization of the container fleet,  which was 92%, 85% and 70% during the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,  respectively.  The remaining  container
fleet is off-lease  and is being  stored  primarily at a large number of storage
depots.  At December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,  utilization was 96%, 85% and 84%,
respectively, and the Partnership's off-lease containers (in units) were located
in the following locations:

                                              2004        2003        2002

Rental Rates

In addition to  utilization,  rental  income is affected by daily rental  rates.
Daily rental rates are different under  different  lease types.  The two primary
lease  types for the  Partnership's  containers  are long term leases and master
leases. The average daily rental rate for the Partnership's containers decreased
5% and 7% from the years ended  December  31, 2003 to 2004 and December 31, 2002
to 2003,  respectively.  Average  rental  rates  declined  primarily  due to the
decline in both  master  lease and long term lease  rates.  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, 2004,  2003 and 2002, 49%, 50%
and 42%,  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, 2004, 2003 and 2002:


                                              2004        2003        2002
                                              ----        ----        ----

       Rental income                        $5,682      $5,383      $4,586
       (Loss) income  from operations      ($1,575)     $  901      $   82
       Percent change from previous
       year in:
          Utilization                           8%         21%          1%
          Average container fleet               1%          3%          2%
          Average rental rates                 (5%)        (7%)       (11%)

The Partnership's  rental income increased $299, or 6%, from year ended December
31, 2003 to the comparable  period in 2004. The increase was due to increases in
container  rental  income and other rental  income,  which is  discussed  below.
Income from container rentals,  the major component of total revenue,  increased
$292, or 6%, from the year ended  December 31, 2003 to the same periods in 2004.
The increase was primarily due to the increase in average  on-hire  utilization,
and was partially  offset by the declines in average  rental rates and container
fleet size as detailed in the above table.

The loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 resulted primarily
from the  write-down  of the  Partnership's  containers.  See "Other  Income and
Expenses:  Write Down of  Containers,"  and  "Critical  Accounting  Policies and
Estimates: Container Impairment Estimates."

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 increases in average utilization and fleet
size,  offset by the  decline in average  rental  rates as detailed in the above
table.

Current Market Conditions for Leased Containers: Utilization was stable for most
of 2003  and  demand  remained  strong  during  the  first  quarter  of 2004 and
increased through the end of 2004. Beginning in 2004, a worldwide steel shortage
caused  significant  increases in new container prices and limited the number of
new containers being built. As a result,  demand for leased containers increased
further beginning in March of 2004 and has remained strong through the beginning
of 2005.

Sale of  Containers in Lower Demand  Locations:  Despite the increase in demand,
areas of lower  demand for  containers  still  exist due to a  continuing  trade
imbalance  between  Asia and the  Americas  and Europe.  However,  the number of
off-lease  containers in these low demand  locations has  decreased,  as lessees
have returned  fewer  containers  to these lower demand  locations and have also
leased  containers  from some of these  locations.  The continuing sale of these
off-lease  containers  has  also  reduced  the  number  of  containers  in these
locations. In recent years, market conditions in these low demand locations have
driven a small number of sales of  off-lease  containers.  These sales  resulted
from the  container's  age and the high cost of  repositioning  containers  from
these  areas.  Before  incurring  high  repositioning   costs,  the  Partnership
generally  weighs those costs  against the expected  future rental stream from a
container.  If the  repositioning  costs  are  too  high  when  compared  to the
anticipated  future rental revenues,  the container will be identified for sale,
rather than repositioned.  Older containers, in particular, have been identified
as for sale in low demand locations  because their expected future rental stream
is reduced by their  shorter  remaining  marine life and by the shipping  lines'
preference for newer  containers.  Since older  containers  were the most likely
containers to be sold in low demand  locations,  the relatively young age of the
Partnership's  fleet through 2003 limited the number of sales in these areas. If
the currently  contemplated sale of the  Partnership's  fleet does not occur and
the Partnership's fleet continues to age, sales of off-lease containers in these
low demand  locations  may  continue,  despite the improved  conditions in these
areas. The number of the Partnership's  off-lease containers in the Americas and
Europe,  where most of these lower demand  locations occur, is detailed above in
"Utilization."

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).

During the year ended  December  31,  2004,  other  rental  income was $721,  an
increase of $7 from the  equivalent  period in 2003.  The increase was primarily
due to an increase in DPP income of $16 offset by a decrease in handling  income
of $8.

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.

Direct Container Expenses

Direct container  expenses  decreased $430, or 30%, from the year ended December
31, 2003 to the  equivalent  period in 2004.  The decrease was  primarily due to
decreases in repositioning and storage expenses of $269 and $141,  respectively,
from the year ended  December 31, 2003 to the same period in 2004.  The decrease
in  repositioning  expense  was  primarily  due to a  decrease  in the number of
containers  repositioned  between the periods,  primarily due to the high demand
and prior years repositioning moves. The decrease was partially offset by higher
average  repositioning  costs.  Storage expense decreased due to the increase in
utilization noted above, offset by a slight increase in the average storage cost
per container.

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.

Bad Debt Expense

Bad debt  expense was $56,  $23 and $22 for the years ended  December  31, 2004,
2003 and  2002,  respectively.  Fluctuations  in bad debt  expense  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,
2004, 2003 and 2002 reflect a higher reserve estimate, after deductions had been
taken against the reserve, from December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation  expense  decreased  $407, or 18%, from the year ended December 31,
2003 to the  comparable  period in 2004.  The decrease was  primarily due to the
write-down  recorded in June 2004,  which reduced the carrying  value of certain
containers and resulted in a lower  depreciation  expense during the second half
of 2004.

Depreciation expense increased $30, or 1%, from the year ended December 31, 2002
to 2003  primarily  due to the  increase in the average  fleet size  between the
periods.

For a  discussion  of  the  Partnership's  depreciation  policy,  see  "Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates: Container Depreciation Estimates."

Write Down of Containers

Write Down of Containers Held for Continued Use: The  Partnership  evaluated the
recorded  value  of  its  container   fleet  at  June  30,  2004,   taking  into
consideration the container sales prices in the letter of intent relating to the
sale of the Partnership's container fleet. The Partnership recorded a write down
of  $3,617 to  reduce  the  carrying  value of some of the  containers  to their
anticipated per unit sales price. The Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability
of these  containers  at  December  31,  2004 based on the January 1, 2005 sales
prices in the Asset Sale Agreement and determined  that there was no impairment.
See  "Critical   Accounting   Policies  and  Estimates:   Container   Impairment
Estimates."

Specific  Containers  Identified  for Sale: The  Partnership  also evaluates the
recoverability  of  the  recorded  amount  of  container  rental  equipment  for
individual containers identified for sale in the ordinary course of business and
determines  whether a reduction to the  carrying  value of these  containers  is
required.  To  date,  there  have  been no write  downs  recorded  for  specific
containers identified for sale.

Gain on Sale of Containers

The  following  details the gain on the sale of  containers  for the years ended
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

                                              2004        2003         2002
                                              ----        ----         ----

        Gain on container sales              $ 131         $ 1         $ 16

Gain on sale of containers  increased $130 from the year ended December 31, 2003
to the same period in 2004.  The increase was primarily  due to the  significant
reduction  in net book  value  as a  result  of the  June  2004  write-down  and
increases in container sales prices.

The amount of 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" and "Comparative Results of Operations: Sale of Containers in
Lower Demand  Locations,"  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. The fluctuations in gain on sale of containers
will also be dependent  on used  container  sales  prices,  which can  fluctuate
between periods.

Management and Professional 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, 2004, 2003 and 2002:

                                              2004        2003        2002
                                              ----        ----        ----

        Equipment management fees             $398        $377        $321
        Incentive management fees               85          85          85
                                               ---         ---         ---
          Management fees to affiliates       $483        $462        $406
                                               ===         ===         ===

Equipment  management fees fluctuated based on the fluctuations in rental income
and were  approximately  7% of rental  income for the years ended  December  31,
2004,  2003 and 2002.  Incentive  management  fees were comparable for the years
ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, as the amount of distributions paid from
cash from operations was comparable.

Professional  fees  increased $57 from the year ended December 31, 2003 to 2004,
primarily due to increases in legal, tax and accounting  expenses.  The decrease
in professional  fees of $45, from the year ended December 31, 2002 to 2003, was
primarily due to declines in accounting and tax expenses.

General and administrative costs to affiliates increased $25, or 9%, and $11, or
4%, from the years ended  December  31,  2003 to 2004 and  December  31, 2002 to
2003,  respectively.  The  increases  were  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 fleets managed by TEM and TCC.

Other  general and  administrative  costs  decreased $11 and $62, from the years
ended  December 31, 2003 to 2004,  and December 31, 2002 to 2003,  respectively.
The declines  were  primarily  due to the declines 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.

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.

The following details the amounts payable at December 31, 2004 for these
obligations:

(1) The  Partnership  is  required  to pay the  General  Partners  an  equipment
liquidation  fee, but this fee is payable only after limited  partners receive a
certain amount of distributions  from the Partnership.  The Partnership does not
currently expect to pay this liquidation fee.

For the amount of fees and  reimbursements  made to the General Partners for the
years  ended  December  31,  2004,  2003 and 2002,  see Note 2 to the  Financial

         to limited partners                 ($1,761)       $704     ($ 114)

Net loss /earnings per limited partnership unit fluctuates based on fluctuations
in net loss  /earnings  allocated  to limited  partners as detailed  above.  The
allocation of net loss /earnings for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and
2002 included a special  allocation  of gross income to the General  Partners of
$351,  $117,  and  $195,  respectively,   in  accordance  with  the  Partnership
Agreement.  As  discussed  above,  the write  down of some of the  Partnership's
containers was the primary  reason for the net loss incurred by the  Partnership
during the year ended December 31, 2004.

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.

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 11% and has averaged approximately 7% 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  estimates the future  undiscounted  cash flows for the container and
considers  other relevant  information.  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.

At June 30, and December 31, 2004  management  used a different  estimated  fair
value for  containers  held for  continued  use,  which  took into  account  the
possible sale of the  Partnership's  entire container fleet to determine whether
the containers  were impaired.  The estimated fair value used at June 30 was the
anticipated  sales  price from the  letter of intent  regarding  this sale.  The
estimated  fair value  used at  December  31 was the sales  prices at January 1,
2005, detailed in the Asset Sale Agreement between the Partnership and RFH, Ltd.
When these  estimated  fair values were  compared to the recorded  values of the
Partnership's containers at June 30, and December 31, 2004, some of the recorded
values  at June 30 were  found to be  higher.  The  Partnership  wrote  down the
containers with the higher recorded values to the estimated sales price from the
letter of intent, even though they continued to be held for continued use.

As noted above,  the  Partnership  also  evaluates  the recorded  value of those
containers  identified  for  sale  in  the  ordinary  course  of  its  business,
separately  from containers  held for continued use.  Containers  identified for
sale in the ordinary course of business  include those containers that have been
sold prior to the proposed  arrangement for the sale of the Partnership's entire
container  fleet, as well as those  containers that are being sold  individually
(usually when they come  off-lease)  without  regard to that proposed  sale. For
these routine sales made in the ordinary course of business, the Partnership has
used an estimated  fair value of the  estimated  sales price for the  container,
less  estimated  cost to sell. If this estimate is lower than the recorded value
of the container identified for sale, the container identified for sale would be
written down.  To date,  the  Partnership  has not recorded any  write-downs  of
containers identified for sale. See "Write-Down of Containers" above.

The Partnership will continue to monitor the  recoverability  of its containers.
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 Partnership has discussed the Asset Sale Agreement pertaining to the sale of
its container fleet above under "Possible Sale of Partnership Assets." This sale
is subject to the Buyer's  willingness to waive certain conditions  contained in
the Asset Sale  Agreement and other  conditions.  There is no assurance that the
sale under the Asset Sale Agreement will be completed.

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,
2004,  approximately 5% of the Partnership's  expenses were paid in 15 different
foreign currencies. As there are no significant payments made in any one foreign
currency, the Partnership does not hedge these expenses.

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

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(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,  2004  and  2003,  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 or other relevant  information 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.  When assets are  determined to be impaired and are written down, the
     Partnership  writes off the accumulated  depreciation  and reduces the cost
     basis of these asset to arrive at a new cost basis.

     The  Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability  of the recorded  amount of
     container  rental equipment for containers to be held for continued use and
     determined  that a reduction to the carrying value of these  containers was
     not required at December 31, 2003 and 2002. Based on an impairment analysis
     performed as of June 30, 2004,  which  considered  the possible sale of the
     Partnership's  remaining  container  fleet  (see Note 5),  the  Partnership
     determined  that certain  containers  were impaired and that a reduction to
     the  carrying  value of these  containers  was  required.  The  Partnership
     recorded a write down of $3,617 during the year ended December 31, 2004, to
     write down the value of certain  containers  that had carrying values which
     were  greater  than the  anticipated  per unit sales  price in the  buyer's
     letter of intent.  The Partnership  determined that there was no additional
     impairment at December 31, 2004 based on an impairment  analysis  performed
     at December 31, 2004,  which  compared the carrying value of the containers
     at December  31, 2004 to the January 1, 2005 sales prices in the Asset Sale
     Agreement  between the  Partnership  and RFH,  Ltd.

     The Partnership also evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount of
     containers  identified  for sale in the  ordinary  course of  business  and
     determined that  reductions to the carrying value of these  containers were
     not required.

     (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,
     2004,  2003,  and 2002  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 (loss) 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 $24 and $23 at
     December 31, 2004 and 2003, 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)  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 Operations  and the related  reserve at December 31, 2004 and
     2003 was $186 and $147, 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 December 31, 2004 and 2003 these
     amounts were $115 and $114, respectively.

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

     Limited   partners'  per  unit  share  of  both  net  (loss)  earnings  and
     distributions  were  computed  using the weighted  average  number of units
     outstanding  during the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, 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 2004  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 of incentive  management  fees
     during each of the three  years ended  December  31,  2004,  2003 and 2002,
     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, 2004 and 2003.

     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, 2004,  2003 and 2002,  these fees
     totaled $398, $377 and $321, 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:

                                            2004         2003         2002

     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  interest in the managed  containers to the
     total  container fleet managed by TCC during the period or 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,
     2004, 2003 and 2002:

     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, 2004 and 2003:


                                                       2004          2003
                                                       ----          ----

               On-lease under master leases           5,822         5,168
               On-lease under long-term leases        5,520         5,232
                                                     ------        ------

                    Total on-lease containers        11,342        10,400
                                                     ======        ======

     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.

  Note 4.  Income Taxes

     During  the years  ended  December  31,  2004,  2003 and 2002,  there  were
     temporary  differences  of  $11,795,  $17,127  and  $18,719,  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 earnings for financial  statement
     purposes to net (loss) income for federal income tax purposes for the years
     ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, is as follows:

  Note 5.  Subsequent Events

     On March 8, 2005 a complaint was filed against the Partnership,  four other
     partnerships  managed by the General  Partners and their  affiliates,  TCC,
     TFS, TEM, TGH, John A. Maccarone and RFH. The complaint refers to the proxy
     statement sent on or about January 20, 2005 in connection  with the Special
     Meeting  of  Limited  Partners   scheduled  for  March  21,  2005  for  the
     Partnership.

     On March 18,  2005,  the  request  for a  temporary  restraining  order was
     denied.

     On March 21, 2005 a similar  complaint was filed  against the  Partnership,
     the  other   partnerships   managed  by  the  General  Partners  and  their
     affiliates, TCC, TFS, TEM, TGH, TL, John A. Maccarone and RFH.

     At a Special  Meeting  of Limited  Partners,  held on March 21,  2005,  the
     proposal  to sell  substantially  all the  Partnership's  assets to RFH and
     terminate and dissolve the Partnership  was approved.  Although the limited
     partners have approved the Asset Sale, certain conditions to the Asset Sale
     are not  satisfied  because of the two lawsuits  filed in March of 2005 and
     described in Item 3. It is not currently  known whether the Asset Sale will
     be completed.  If the Asset Sale is completed in accordance  with the Asset
     Sale  Agreement as executed on November 30, 2004,  it would be effective as
     of January 1, 2005.

     If the Asset Sale is completed,  the Partnership had originally  planned to
     distribute  to the  partners  the net  proceeds  of  this  sale,  plus  any
     previously  undistributed cash from operations and proceeds from the normal
     sale of containers, less estimated expenses expected to be incurred through
     the final winding up and termination of the Partnership.  The plans to make
     these distributions appear to be contested by at least one of the lawsuits.
     The  Partnership  plans to terminate  its  existence  after  payment of the
     liquidating  distributions,  but these  plans may  alter  depending  on the
     course of the lawsuits.  In the event the Asset Sale is not completed,  the
     Partnership  will proceed as provided  under its  partnership  agreement as
     amended.

</TABLE>

(1)  In the second quarter,  the Partnership  recorded a write-down of $3,660 to
     write down the value of certain  containers  that had carrying values which
     were greater than the anticipated per unit sales price included in a letter
     of  intent  entered  into  in  July  2004.  The  Partnership's  results  of
     operations  for the second  quarter of 2004 include an adjustment of $43 to
     reduce  the above  write  down of  containers  to  correct an error made in
     calculating the write down of containers amount at June 30, 2004.

(2)  The amounts  reported in the second  quarter have been  restated to correct
     for the error discussed above.

(3)  In the fourth quarter,  the  Partnership  reduced its 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.  The  adjustment
     resulted in a decrease of $81 in depreciation expense.

<PAGE>

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

There have been none.

ITEM 9A.    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.

The  error in the  impairment  analysis  identified  in the  Selected  Quarterly
Financial  Data  in the  financial  statements  was due to a  difference  in the
accumulated  depreciation  allowance  used to calculate the  write-down  and the
amount recorded in the financial statements. The discovery of this error did not
lead to a change in internal control that materially  affected the Partnership's
internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B.    OTHER INFORMATION

Inapplicable.

                                    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, 2004,  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.

Code of Ethics
--------------

The  Registrant  has  adopted a code of ethics  that  applies  to its  principal
executive officer,  principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or
controller,  or persons performing similar functions.  The Registrant has posted
this  code  of  ethics  on  its  Internet  website  at  the  following  address:
