    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 (a)
    
    Nature of OperationsIEA Income Fund XII, L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership organized under the
laws of the State of California on August 28, 1991 for the purpose of owning and leasing
marine cargo containers worldwide to ocean carriers. The Partnerships operations are
subject to the fluctuations of world economic and political conditions. The Partnership
believes that the profitability of, and risks associated with, leases to foreign customers
is generally the same as those of leases to domestic customers. The Partnerships leases
generally require all payments to be made in United States currency.Cronos Capital Corp. (CCC) is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos
Containers Limited (the Leasing Company), manages the business of the Partnership. CCC
and the Leasing Company also manage the container leasing business for other partnerships
affiliated with CCC.The Partnership commenced operations on January 31, 1992, when the minimum subscription
proceeds of $2,000,000 were obtained. The Partnership offered 3,750,000 units of limited
partnership interest at $20 per unit, or $75,000,000. The offering terminated on November
30, 1992, at which time 3,513,594 limited partnership units had been sold.The Partnership has commenced its 14th year of operations, and is in its liquidation phase
wherein CCC is focusing its attention on the retirement of the remaining equipment in the
Partnerships container fleet. At June 30, 2006, approximately 30% of the original
equipment remained in the Partnerships fleet. CCC will take several factors into
consideration when examining options for the timing of the disposal of the containers.
These factors include the impact of a diminishing fleet size and current market conditions
on the level of gross lease revenue, and fixed operating costs relative to this revenue.
Parallel to these considerations will be a projected increase in expenses for devoting
significant resources to the additional reporting and compliance requirements of Section
404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, which addresses a range of corporate governance,
disclosure, and accounting issues. These costs may include increased accounting and
administrative expenses for additional staffing and outside professional services by
accountants and consultants. These additional costs, depending on their materiality, may
reduce the Partnerships results from operations and therefore negatively affect future
distributions to the Limited Partners.(b)
    
    Leasing Company and Leasing Agent AgreementA Leasing Agent Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Leasing Company,
whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all
equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is
responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnerships containers to ocean
carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and
services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use
the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by
the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard
to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease
in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a
lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee.The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make
payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after
deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company.
The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, under operating leases which are
either master leases or term leases (mostly one to five years) and sales-type leases.
Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that
each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off
containers at various locations, and rentals are based upon the number of containers used
and the applicable per-diem rate.

 (b)
    
    Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement (continued)Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the
number of containers used. Sales-type leases have fixed payment terms and provide the
lessee with a purchase option. The net investment in sales-type leases represents a
receivable due from the Leasing Company, net of unearned income. Unearned income, when
recognized, is reflected in the Partnerships statements of operations, providing a
constant return on capital over the lease term. Unearned income is recorded as part of the
net lease receivable due from the Leasing Company.(c)
    
    Basis of AccountingThe Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Net lease revenue is
recorded by the Partnership in each period based upon its leasing agent agreement with the
Leasing Company. Net lease revenue is generally dependent upon operating lease rentals
from operating lease agreements between the Leasing Company and its various lessees, less
direct operating expenses and management fees due in respect of the containers specified in
each operating lease agreement.(d)
    
    Use of EstimatesThe financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which requires the Partnership
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.The most significant estimates included within the financial statements are the container
rental equipment estimated useful lives and residual values, and the estimate of future
cash flows from container rental equipment operations, used to determine the carrying value
of container rental equipment in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Considerable judgment is
required in estimating future cash flows from container rental equipment operations.
Accordingly, the estimates may not be indicative of the amounts that may be realized in
future periods. As additional information becomes available in subsequent periods,
recognition of an impairment of the container rental equipment carrying values may be
necessary based upon changes in market and economic conditions.(e)
    
    Container Rental EquipmentContainer rental equipment is depreciated over a 15-year period using the straight-line
basis to its salvage value, estimated to be 10% of its original equipment cost.
Depreciation policies are also evaluated to determine whether subsequent events and
circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, container rental equipment is considered to be impaired if the carrying value of
the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and
without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets are written down
to fair value. An analysis projecting future cash flows from container rental equipment
operations is prepared annually, or upon material changes in market conditions. Current
and projected utilization rates, per-diem rental rates, direct operating expenses, fleet
size and container disposals are the primary variables utilized by the analysis.
Additionally, the Partnership evaluates future cash flows and potential impairment by
container type rather than for each individual container, and as a result, future losses
could result for individual container dispositions due to various factors, including age,
condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographical location of
containers when disposed. There were no impairment charges to the carrying value of
container rental equipment for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

    Allocation of Net Income or Loss, Partnership Distributions and Partners Capital
AccountsNet income or loss has been allocated between the general and limited partners in
accordance with the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement generally provides
that CCC shall at all times maintain at least a 1% interest in each item of income or loss,
including the gain arising from the sale of containers. The Partnership Agreement further
provides that the gain arising from the sale of containers be allocated first to the
partners with capital account deficit balances in an amount sufficient to eliminate any
deficit capital account balance. Thereafter, the Partnerships gains arising from the sale
of containers are allocated to the partners in accordance with their share of sale proceeds
distributed. The Partnership Agreement also provides for income (excluding the gain
arising from the sale of containers) for any period, be allocated to CCC in an amount equal
to that portion of CCCs distributions in excess of 1% of the total distributions made to
both CCC and the limited partners of the Partnership for such period, as well as other
allocation adjustments.Actual cash distributions differ from the allocations of net income or loss between the
general and limited partners as presented in these financial statements. Partnership
distributions are paid to its partners (general and limited) from distributable cash from
operations, allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to CCC. Distributions of sales
proceeds are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to CCC. The allocations remain
in effect until such time as the limited partners have received from the Partnership
aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital contributions plus a 10%
cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return on their adjusted capital contributions.
Thereafter, all Partnership distributions will be allocated 85% to the limited partners and
15% to CCC. Cash distributions from operations to CCC in excess of 5% of distributable
cash will be considered an incentive fee and will be recorded as compensation to CCC, with
the remaining distributions from operations charged to partners capital.Upon dissolution, the assets of the Partnership will be sold and the proceeds thereof
distributed as follows: (i) all of the Partnerships debts and liabilities to persons
other than CCC or the limited partners shall be paid and discharged; (ii) all of the
Partnerships debts and liabilities to CCC and the limited partners shall be paid and
discharged; and (iii) the balance of such proceeds shall be distributed to CCC and the
limited partners in accordance with the positive balances of CCC and the limited partners
capital accounts. CCC shall contribute to the Partnership, if necessary, an amount equal
to the lesser of the deficit balance in its capital account at the time of such
liquidation, or 1.01% of the excess of the Limited Partners capital contribution to the
Partnership over the capital contributions previously made to the Partnership by CCC, after
giving effect to the allocation of income or loss arising from the liquidation of the
Partnerships assets.(g)
    
    Financial Statement PresentationThese financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Partnership
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and accompanying notes in the Partnerships December 31, 2005
Annual Report on Form 10-K.The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments of a normal recurring necessary to present fairly the results for the
interim periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

    Operating SegmentAn operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from
which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed
by the enterprises chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and about which separate financial
information is available. Management operates the Partnerships container fleet as a
homogenous unit and has determined that as such, it has a single reportable operating segment.The Partnership derives revenues from marine dry cargo and refrigerated containers used by its
customers in global trade routes. As of June 30, 2006, the Partnership operated 3,143
twenty-foot, 1,551 forty-foot and 79 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well
as 82 twenty-foot and 6 forty-foot marine refrigerated containers. A summary of gross lease
revenue earned by the Leasing Company on behalf of the Partnership, by product, for the three
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 follows:
