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

Notes To Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004
(Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)
(unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1.   General

     Textainer  Equipment Income Fund IV, L.P. (the  Partnership),  a California
     limited  partnership  with a maximum life of 20 years,  was formed in 1991.
     The Partnership owns a fleet of intermodal marine cargo  containers,  which
     are leased to international shipping lines.

     In March 2004, the Partnership  ceased  purchasing  containers and in April
     2004, the Partnership began its liquidation phase.

     At a  Special  Meeting  of  Limited  Partners,  held on March 21,  2005,  a
     proposal to sell substantially all the Partnership's  assets to RFH Limited
     ("RFH") and terminate and dissolve the Partnership was approved.  The asset
     sale did not  close on March 31,  2005 in  accordance  with the Asset  Sale
     Agreement,  as RFH requested,  and the Partnership granted, an extension to
     April 15, 2005 to close the Asset Sale. See Note 6.

     The accompanying  interim  comparative  financial  statements have not been
     audited by an  independent  public  accountant.  However,  all  adjustments
     (which  were only  normal and  recurring  adjustments)  which  are,  in the
     opinion of management,  necessary to fairly present the financial  position
     of the  Partnership  as of March 31,  2005 and  December  31,  2004 and the
     results of its operations,  changes in partners' capital and cash flows for
     the three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, have been made.

     The financial  information  presented  herein should be read in conjunction
     with the audited financial statements and other accompanying notes included
     in the Partnership's  annual audited financial statements as of and for the
     year ended December 31, 2004, in the Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.

     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 sale prices.

     Certain  reclassifications,  not affecting net earnings,  have been made to
     prior year  amounts in order to  conform  to the 2005  financial  statement
     presentation.

     this capacity for other limited  partnerships.  The General Partners manage
     and control the affairs of the Partnership.
<PAGE>
     In accordance with the Partnership  Agreement,  sections 3.08 through 3.12,
     net earnings or losses and distributions are generally  allocated 1% to the
     General  Partners and 99% 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.

     As part of the operation of the  Partnership,  the Partnership is to pay to
     the General  Partners an acquisition  fee, 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.  During the three-month  periods ended March
     31, 2005 and 2004,  the  Partnership  capitalized  $- and $1 of acquisition
     fees,  respectively.  The  Partnership  incurred  $- and  $66 of  incentive
     management  fees during the  three-month  periods  ended March 31, 2005 and
     2004,  respectively.  There were no  equipment  liquidation  fees  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 March 31, 2005 and December 31,
     2004.

     Subject to certain reductions,  TEM receives a monthly equipment management
     fee equal to 7% of gross revenues  attributable to master  operating leases
     and 2% of gross revenues attributable to full payout net leases. These fees
     totaled $191 and $225 for the three-month  periods ended March 31, 2005 and
     2004, 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  TFS  and  TEM.   General  and
     administrative  costs allocated to the  Partnership  during the three-month
     periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

                                                       2005         2004

     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.  TFS allocates these costs based on
     the ratio of the  Partnership's  interest in the managed  containers to the
     total   container   fleet  managed  by  TFS  during  the  period,   or  the
     Partnership's  investors  to the total  number of  investors of all limited
     partnerships  managed by TFS or equally among all the limited  partnerships
     managed by TFS. The General  Partners  allocated the following  general and
     administrative  costs to the  Partnership  during the  three-month  periods
     ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

     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

     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 March 31, 2005 and 2004:

                                                 2005              2004
                                                 ----              ----

         On-lease under master leases          12,105            13,893
         On-lease under long-term leases        8,782             9,121
                                               ------            ------

           Total on-lease containers           20,887            23,014
                                               ======            ======

     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 being stored primarily at a
     number of storage depots.

Note 4. Container Rental Equipment and Container Rental Equipment Held for Sale

     At March 31, 2005, all of the Partnership's  containers had been identified
     as held for sale. At June 30, 2004,  the  Partnership  had written down the
     value of containers  that had carrying values greater than the sales prices
     in the letter of intent from RFH for the sale of the  container  fleet.  At
     March  31,  2005,  the  Partnership  evaluated  the  recoverability  of the
     recorded  amount of the container  fleet,  now identified as held for sale,
     taking into  consideration  (i) the prices in the Asset Sale  Agreement and
     (ii) RFH's rights, under the Asset Sale Agreement, to the estimated results
     of operations  from the container fleet from January 1, 2005 to the date of
     the Asset Sale.  This comparison  resulted in the  Partnership  recording a
     write down of $952.  See Note 6 for details on the  completion of the Asset
     Sale.

     The  Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability  of the recorded  amount of
     container  rental equipment at March 31, 2004 for containers to be held for
     continued  use and  determined  that a reduction to the  carrying  value of
     these  containers  was not required.  The  Partnership  also  evaluated the
     recoverability of the recorded amount of containers  identified for sale in
     the  ordinary  course of business at March 31, 2004 and  determined  that a
     reduction to the carrying  value of some of these  containers was required.
     The Partnership wrote down the value of these containers to their estimated
     net realizable  value,  which was based on recent sales prices less cost to
     sell.  These  containers are included in container  rental equipment in the
     balance sheets.

     During the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 the Partnership recorded
     a write-down expense of $108 on 486 containers  identified as held for sale
     and  requiring  a reserve.  At March 31, 2004 the net book value of the 233
     containers identified as held for sale was $189.

     During the three-month  period ended March 31, 2004, the  Partnership  sold
     574 of these  previously  written  down  containers  for a gain of $1.  The
     Partnership  also  sold  containers  that  had not  been  written  down and
     recorded a loss of $120 during the three-month period ended March 31, 2004.

     The  Partnership  did not redeem any units  during the  three-month  period
     ended  March  31,  2005.  The  redemption  price  is fixed  by  formula  in
     accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

Note 6.  Subsequent Events

     On April 14, 2005, RFH requested a short  postponement  of the closing date
     of the Asset Sale due to a lawsuit filed on April 11, 2005, in the Superior
     Court of California against the Partnership,  RFH and other parties related
     to the sale.  (This  lawsuit was described in a report on Form 8-K filed on
     April 15,  2005.) The  Partnership  agreed to postpone the closing date for
     the sale until April 19, 2005.

     The Partnership  completed the sale of  substantially  all of its assets to
     RFH on April 18,  2005.  The total  price paid by RFH on April 18, 2005 was
     $25,914,   which  consisted  of  $25,710  for   substantially  all  of  the
     Partnership's  assets  and  $204  in  interest.  The  Partnership  received
     $24,618,  or 95%, of the total price and the remaining  $1,296,  or 5%, was
     paid to an escrow account.  On August 1, 2005, any remaining balance in the
     escrow account is scheduled to be paid to the  Partnership,  unless a claim
     for indemnification under the Asset Sale Agreement is made by RFH, in which
     case the amount of such claim will remain in the escrow account.

     In April 2005, two lawsuits filed with the United States District Court for
     the Northern District of California against the Partnership,  RFH and other
     parties related to the sale were consolidated.

     In  May  2005,   the   Partnership   declared   $26,045  as  a  liquidating
     distribution.

ITEM 2 - 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 three-month  periods ended March
31, 2005 and 2004. Please refer to the Financial Statements and Notes thereto in
connection with the following discussion.

Textainer  Financial Services  Corporation (TFS) is the Managing General Partner
of the  Partnership  and  is a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Textainer  Capital
Corporation (TCC).  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.

Overview of Partnership's Current Status

As of the  date  this  report  is  being  prepared,  the  Partnership  has  sold
substantially  all of its assets (the "Asset  Sale") and  anticipates  paying to
partners a majority of the  proceeds of this sale in May 2005.  The  Partnership
will then be in the final  stages of  liquidation  and will begin to wind up its
affairs.  The Asset Sale was  completed on April 18, 2005,  which meant that the
Partnership  recorded  revenues  and  expenses  related to its  container  fleet
through that date. However, under the Asset Sale Agreement,  RFH was entitled to
the results of operations  from the container  fleet from January 1, 2005 to the
date of the Asset Sale. See "Write Down of Containers" below.

Sale of Partnership's 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 ("the Buyer") 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 Asset  Sale.  On April 18,  2005,  the Asset Sale was
completed.  The Partnership received $24,618, or 95%, of the total price and the
remaining $1,296,  or 5%, was paid to an escrow account.  On August 1, 2005, any
remaining  balance  in  the  escrow  account  is  scheduled  to be  paid  to the
Partnership,  unless a claim for indemnification  under the Asset Sale Agreement
is made by RFH, in which case the amount of such claim will remain in the escrow
account.

In May  2005,  the  Partnership  plans  to pay the  first of two  planned  final
liquidating  distributions.  This  distribution  will  consist  of the  proceeds
received  from the Asset  Sale plus  cash held by the  Partnership  at March 31,
2005, less the estimated total remaining  expenses of the Partnership.  A second
distribution  is planned  after the funds in the escrow  account  are  released,
which is currently  scheduled to be August 1, 2005. The second distribution will
be  substantially  smaller  than the  first,  since  the first  distribution  is
expected to represent a majority of the proceeds  realized  from the Asset Sale.
This second distribution is expected to be the Partnership's final distribution.
There can be no guarantee about the timing or amount of the final  distribution,
since this  distribution  is still  subject  to  conditions  and future  events,
including  the absence of any claim by the Buyer against the funds in the escrow
account or any other legal restriction that could interfere with payment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

From  May 1,  1992  until  April  30,  1994,  the  Partnership  offered  limited
partnership  interests  to the  public.  The  Partnership  received  its minimum
subscription amount of $5 on June 11, 1992 and on April 30, 1994 the Partnership
had received a total subscription amount of $136,918.

General

The Partnership has been in its liquidation  phase since April 2004, which means
that from that time forward,  the  Partnership no longer sought to replenish its
container  fleet by buying new  containers,  and considered  the  possibility of
selling  containers,  either in one or more  groups,  or  individually  when the
containers  came off lease.  During this  phase,  the  Partnership's  policy has
generally  been that all excess  cash,  after  redemptions  and working  capital
reserves,  will be distributed to the general and limited  partners on a monthly
basis.  These  distributions  have consisted of cash from operations and/or cash
from sales proceeds.

In  April  2005,  the  Partnership  sold   substantially  all  its  assets.  The
Partnership plans to distribute its remaining cash during 2005 and terminate its
existence.

Sources of Cash

On April 18, 2005, the Partnership sold its container fleet for cash to RFH. The
Partnership  plans to  distribute a majority of the proceeds from the Asset Sale
in May 2005 and to retain some cash to pay its anticipated  remaining  expenses.
Additional  sources of cash are  expected  to consist  only of (i) the 5% of the
sale  proceeds  currently  being  held  in  an  escrow  account;  (ii)  accounts
receivable not included in the Asset Sale;  and (iii)  interest  earned on these
cash balances.

Uses of Cash

Distributions to partners are the Partnership's  primary use of cash. The amount
of  distributions  paid to partners  has been  dependent on cash  received  from
operations and the sale of containers,  less amounts used to pay  redemptions or
held as working capital.

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

These activities are discussed in detail below.

Distributions:   During  the  three-month  period  ended  March  31,  2005,  the
Partnership  declared  cash  distributions  to limited  partners  pertaining  to
December 2004 in the amount of $1,239,  which  represented  $0.19 per unit. On a
cash basis,  as reflected in the Statements of Cash Flows,  after paying general
partner  distributions,  $1,150  of  these  distributions  were  from  operating
activities and the balance of $89 was a return of capital.  On an accrual basis,
as  reflected  on  the  Statements  of  Partners'   Capital,   $1,217  of  these
distributions were from current year earnings and $22 was a return of capital.

In May 2005, the Partnership  declared the first of two final  liquidating  cash
distributions to limited partners in the amount of $3.99 per unit, or 20% of the
original per unit cost of $20.00.  This distribution  consists of sales proceeds
received by the  Partnership on April 18, 2005,  plus cash balances at March 31,
2005, less the estimated total remaining expenses of the Partnership.

The Partnership plans to pay a second and final liquidating  distribution during
the third quarter of 2005.  Payment of the second  liquidating  distribution  is
currently  expected  to be  contingent  on the  release of funds from the escrow
account, in which 5% of the proceeds from the Asset Sale are currently held. The
funds  are  scheduled  to be  released  on August  1,  2005,  unless a claim for
indemnification  is made by the Buyer under the  agreement  governing  the Asset
Sale,  in which case the amount of the claim  would  continue  to be held in the
escrow account.  Payment of this second  liquidating  distribution could also be
delayed or otherwise affected by legal  restrictions  imposed on the Partnership
as a result of certain  lawsuits filed with respect to the Asset Sale, and which
have been previously described in the Partnership's report on Form 10-K filed on
March 30,  2005 and in the  Partnership's  report on Form 8-K filed on April 15,
2005.  In addition to the funds  released from the escrow  account,  this second
distribution  may include cash received after March 31, 2005 related to accounts
receivable  which  were not sold to RFH and  interest.  The amount of the second
distribution may also be adjusted to reflect the then-anticipated  final amounts
of the Partnership's expenses.

The amount of the second distribution is expected to be substantially lower than
the first distribution,  since the first distribution consists of almost all the
proceeds from the sale of the Partnership's fleet and any cash held on March 31,
2005, less amounts held back for the Partnership's remaining expenses.

Capital  Commitments:  Container  purchases:  For the three-month  periods ended
March 31,  2005 and  2004,  cash used to  purchase  containers  was $- and $318,
respectively.  The decline was due to the Partnership  beginning its liquidation
phase in April  2004.  During  this phase the  Partnership  no longer  purchases
containers.

Capital  Commitments:  Redemptions:  There  were no units  redeemed  during  the
three-month  period ended March 31, 2005 and the Partnership does not anticipate
redeeming units prior to its termination.

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

As noted above, under the Asset Sale Agreement,  RFH was entitled to the results
of operations  from the container  fleet from January 1, 2005 to the date of the
Asset Sale. As a result, the Partnership determined that certain containers were
impaired  and  recorded a  write-down  expense as  described  below in "Critical
Accounting  Policies and Estimates." These items are discussed below, as well as
direct container and depreciation expenses, gain and loss on sale of containers,
and professional fees and general and administrative costs.

Write Down of Containers

Write-down  expense  increased $844 from the three-month  period ended March 31,
2004  to the  same  period  in  2005.  The  increase  was  primarily  due to the
Partnership  recording  a  write-down  of $952 in  March  2005.  The  write-down
occurred  because,  under the Asset  Sale  Agreement,  RFH was  entitled  to the
results of operations  from the container fleet from January 1, 2005 to the date
of the Asset Sale. See "Critical  Accounting Policies and Estimates" below. This
write-down  did not affect the cash paid by RFH under the Asset Sale  Agreement,
since the Agreement had contemplated that RFH would be entitled to these results
of operations,  and RFH paid the sales price  originally  agreed to in November,
plus interest.

Direct Container Expenses

Direct container  expenses  decreased $373, or 59%, from the three-month  period
ended  March  31,  2004 to the  equivalent  period  in 2005.  The  decrease  was
primarily  due to declines in storage,  repositioning  and handling  expenses of
$144, $142 and $51,  respectively.  Storage expense decreased due to the decline
in the average  fleet size and increase in  utilization.  Repositioning  expense
declined due to the decline in the number of containers repositioned between the
periods and a decline in the average reposition cost per container. The decrease
in handling expense was primarily due to a decrease in container movement.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense decreased $1,485, or 79%, from the three-month period ended
March  31,  2004  to the  comparable  period  in 2005  primarily  due to (i) the
write-down  recorded in June,  2004, which reduced the carrying value of certain
containers and resulted in a lower depreciation expense during the first quarter
of 2005; (ii) the decline in the average fleet size between the periods; (iii) a
larger  portion of the  container  fleet being fully  depreciated;  and (iv) the
Partnership recording depreciation expense only through March 21, 2005, the date
the  limited   partners   approved  the  Asset  Sale  and  the  containers  were
reclassified   as  held  for  sale.

Gain and Loss on Sale of Containers

The  following  details  the  gain  (loss)  on the  sale of  containers  for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:
                                                   2005           2004
                                                   ----           ----

        Gain (loss) on container sales             $476          ($119)
                                                    ===           ====

The gain in the table above for the first quarter of 2005 is for containers sold
prior to the sale of the entire fleet, which occurred after the end of the first
quarter, on April 18, 2005.

The amount of gain or loss recorded on the sale of containers has fluctuated due
to the specific  conditions of the containers sold, the type of containers sold,
the location where the containers  were sold and their net book value.  The gain
recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to
the significant  reduction in net book value as a result of previous write-downs
and the container sales prices received during the first quarter of 2005.

Professional Fees and General and Administrative Costs

Professional fees increased $27 from the three-month period ended March 31, 2004
to 2005.  The increase was  primarily  due to the increase in legal fees between
the periods.  Legal fees  increased  primarily due to  additional  fees incurred
related to the proxy statement.

General  and  administrative   costs  to  affiliates   decreased  $20  from  the
three-month period ended March 31, 2004 to 2005, primarily due to a decreases in
overhead costs allocated from TEM and TFS.

Other  general and  administrative  costs were $50, an increase of $16, from the
three-month  period ended March 31, 2004 to 2005. The increase was primarily due
to solicitation,  printing and mailing costs associated with the proxy statement
materials mailed in January 2005.

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 13% and has averaged approximately 8% over the last 5 years. These allowances
have historically covered all of the Partnership's bad debts.

Container Impairment Estimates:  Write-downs of containers were made when it was
determined  that the recorded value of the containers  exceeded their  estimated
fair value. On March 21, 2005, the limited  partners  approved the Asset Sale at
the Special Meeting of Limited Partners,  and the Partnership's entire container
fleet was  reclassified as held for sale. The Partnership  compared the recorded
amount of containers  identified as for sale to the sales prices detailed in the
Asset Sale Agreement with RFH, less the amount equal to the estimated results of
operations from the container fleet from January 1, 2005 through April 18, 2005.
Once these amounts were compared to the recorded values,  the recorded values of
some of the  containers  were found to be higher.  The  Partnership,  therefore,
recorded an impairment.

Risk Factors and Forward Looking Statements

The  Partnership  sold  substantially  all of its assets in April,  2005 and has
described  above  plans  to pay  final  liquidating  distributions  in 2005  and
terminate. No assurance can be given that these events will occur. The risks and
uncertainties  associated with these events include, but are not limited to, the
following:  the timely  release of the remaining  sales proceeds from the escrow
account;  the absence of any legal  restrictions  that would  interfere with the
payment of the final  liquidating  distributions;  and any other events that may
arise as a result of future developments in certain lawsuits filed regarding the
Asset Sale. The  Partnership  does not undertake any obligation to update any of
its forward-looking statements.

Item 4.   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,  and which has materially  affected,  or is
reasonably likely materially to affect, the Partnership's  internal control over
financial reporting.


Part II

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

Two lawsuits regarding the Asset Sale and filed against the Partnership, RFH and
other parties related to the sale were previously described in the Partnership's
report on Form 10-K  filed  March  30,  2005.  These  two  lawsuits  (Gordon  v.
Textainer Financial Services, et al., Case No. C 05-01146 CRB, and Lewis, et al.
v. Textainer Financial Services, et al., Case No. C 05-0969 MMC) were both filed
in the United States District Court for the Northern  District of California and
have now been consolidated  into Civil Action No. C 05-00969 MMC,  captioned "In
re Textainer Partnership Securities Litigation."

There have been no material  developments  in the lawsuit  filed in the Superior
Court of California,  San Francisco  County,  Case No.  CGC-05-440303  (Labow v.
Textainer Financial Services,  et al.) and described in the Partnership's report
on Form 8-K filed on April 15, 2005.

Item 6.  Exhibits

    (a)   Exhibits  31.1 and 31.2  Certifications  pursuant  to Rules  13a-14 or
          15d-14 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

          Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2  Certifications  pursuant to 18 U.S.C.  Section
          1350, as adopted,  and regarding Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
          of 2002.
