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

Notes To Financial Statements

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000
(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.

      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  June 30,  2001 and   December 31, 2000 and the
      results of its operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for
      the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, 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, 2000,  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.  Actual  results  could  differ  from  those
      estimates.

      Certain  reclassifications, not  affecting net earnings  (loss), have been
      made  to  prior  year amounts in  order to  conform to  the 2001 financial
      statement presentation.


Note 2.   Transactions with Affiliates

      Textainer  Financial  Services  Corporation  (TFS) is the managing general
      partner of the Partnership. TFS 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  managing  general  partner  and  the  associate general
      partners are collectively  referred to as  the  General  Partners  and are
      commonly owned by  Textainer  Group  Holdings  Limited  (TGH). The General
      Partners  also  act  in this capacity for  other limited partnerships. The
      General Partners manage and control the affairs of the Partnership.

      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 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. The  Partnership  capitalized $1 and $12 of
      container acquisition fees as a  component   of container costs during the
      six-month   periods ended  June  30,  2001  and  2000,  respectively.  The
      Partnership incurred $99 and $198 of incentive management fees  during the
      three and six-month periods ended  June 30, 2001,  respectively,  and $100
      and $200, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2000.  There were no
      equipment liquidation fees incurred during these periods.

      The Partnership's   container   fleet is   managed  by TEM. In its role as
      manager,  TEM  has  authority to  acquire, hold, manage,  lease, sell  and
      dispose of the Partnership's 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
      June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000.

      Subject to certain reductions, TEM receives a monthly equipment management
      fee equal to 7% of gross revenues attributable to  operating leases and 2%
      of  gross  revenues  attributable to full  payout net leases.   These fees
      totaled $243 and $512 for the three and six-month  periods ended  June 30,
      2001, respectively, and $308  and $619,  respectively,  for the comparable
      periods  in  2000.  The  Partnership's container fleet is leased by TEM to
      third party lessees on operating master leases, spot leases,  term  leases
      and direct finance leases. The majority of the  container  fleet is leased
      under operating master leases with limited terms and no purchase option.

      Certain   indirect   general   and  administrative costs such as salaries,
      employee benefits, taxes and   insurance   are   incurred   in  performing
      administrative   services   necessary to the operation of the Partnership.
      These costs   are   incurred and paid   by TFS   and  TEM.   General   and
      administrative   costs  allocated  to the Partnership during the three and
      six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were as follows:

      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. In  addition, the  General
      Partners are entitled to an acquisition fee  for any  containers resold to
      the Partnership.

      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 sales proceeds from TEM.

Note 3.   Container Rental Equipment Write-Down

      New container prices declined from 1995 through  1999. Although  container
      prices increased in 2000, these prices declined again in the first half of
      2001. As a result, the cost of new containers purchased in recent years is
      significantly less than the average cost of containers purchased in  prior
      years. The Partnership evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount
      of container rental equipment at  June 30, 2001 and 2000 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 and determined that a reduction to
      the carrying value of these containers was required. The Partnership wrote
      down the value of these  containers to  their estimated  fair value, which
      was based on recent sales prices less cost to sell. During  the  six-month
      periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the  Partnership recorded write-down
      expenses  of  $87  and  $150,  respectively, on   167  and  200 containers
      identified as for sale and   requiring a reserve.  During the  three-month
      periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnerships recorded write-down
      expenses   of   $50   and   $105,  respectively, on 95  and 102 containers
      identified as for sale and requiring reserve. At  June 30, 2001 and  2000,
      the net book value of containers identified as for sale was $353 and $302,
      respectively.

      The Partnership sold 121 of these previously written down containers for a
      loss of $8 during the six- month period  ended June 30, 2001, and sold 165
      previously written down containers for a loss of $8 during the same period
      in 2000.   During   the   three-month   period  ended  June  30, 2001, the
      Partnership sold 84 of these previously written down containers for a loss
      of $4 and sold 81  previously  written  down  containers  for a gain of $1
      during the same period  in 2000. The  Partnership  incurred  losses on the
      sale of some containers previously written down as the actual sales prices
      received on these containers  were lower  than  the estimates used for the
      write-downs, primarily due to unexpected declines in the container prices.

      The Partnership also sold containers that  had not  been written  down and
      recorded a loss of $14 and  a gain  of  $46  during the  six-month periods
      ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. During the three-month periods
      ended June 30, 2001 and  2000, the  Partnership recorded gains  of $10 and
      $40,  respectively, on the sale of  containers  that had  not been written
      down.

      If more  containers  are  subsequently identified for sale or if container
      sales  prices  continue to decline, the  Partnership  may incur additional
      write-downs  on  containers  and/or  may  incur   losses   on the  sale of
      containers. The Partnership will continue to evaluate  the  recoverability
      of the recorded amounts of container rental  equipment and cautions that a
      write-down   of container   rental equipment   and/or  an  increase in its
      depreciation rate may be required in future periods for some or all of its
      container rental equipment.

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 as of and for the three and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.  Please refer to the Financial  Statements
and Notes thereto in connection with the following discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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  $5,000  on June 11,  1992 and on  April  30,  1994 the
Partnership had received a total subscription amount of $136,918.

From time to time,  the  Partnership  redeems units from limited  partners for a
specified  redemption  value,  which  is  set  by  formula.  Up  to  2%  of  the
Partnership's outstanding units may be redeemed each year, although the 2% limit
may be exceeded at the Managing General  Partner's  discretion.  All redemptions
are subject to the Managing  General  Partner's  good faith  determination  that
payment for the redeemed units will not (i) cause the Partnership to be taxed as
a  corporation,  (ii) impair the capital or  operations of the  Partnership,  or
(iii) impair the ability of the Partnership to pay  distributions  in accordance
with its distribution  policy.  During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001,
the  Partnership  redeemed  19,662 units for a total dollar amount of $169.  The
Partnership used cash flow from operations to pay for the redeemed units.

The Partnership invests working capital,  cash flow from operations prior to its
distribution  to the partners and proceeds  from  container  sales that have not
been  used  to  purchase  containers  in  short-term,  liquid  investments.  The
Partnership's  cash is  affected  by  cash  provided  by or  used in  operating,
investing and financing  activities.  These  activities  are discussed in detail
below.

Limited partners are currently receiving monthly  distributions in an annualized
amount equal to 7% of their  original  investment.  During the six-month  period
ended June 30, 2001,  the  Partnership  declared cash  distributions  to limited
partners  pertaining  to the period from  December 2000 through May 2001, in the
amount  of  $4,708.  On a cash  basis,  $3,796 of these  distributions  was from
current year  operating  activities  and the remainder was from cash provided by
previous  years'  operations  that had not been  distributed or used to purchase
containers or redeem units. On a GAAP basis, all of these  distributions  were a
return of capital.

Beginning  with cash  distributions  to limited  partners  for the month of July
2001,  payable  August  2001,  the  Partnership  will make  distributions  at an
annualized  rate of 5% on each  unit.  This  reduction  is the result of current
market conditions for leased containers, which are discussed in detail below. If
existing market conditions persist or if market conditions further decline,  the
Partnership may further reduce its distribution payments.

At June 30, 2001, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.

Net cash provided by operating  activities for the six-month  periods ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 was $4,015 and $5,735,  respectively.  The decrease of $1,720,
or 30%, was primarily attributable to the decrease in net earnings, adjusted for
non-cash  transactions and  fluctuations in due from affiliates,  net, offset by
fluctuations  in  accounts  receivable.  Net  earnings,  adjusted  for  non-cash
transactions,  decreased  primarily  due to the  decrease  in rental  income and
increase in direct  container  expenses.  These  fluctuations are discussed more
fully in "Results of Operations".  The fluctuations in due from affiliates, net,
resulted  from timing  differences  in the payment of expenses  and fees and the
remittance of net rental revenues and sales proceeds, as well as in fluctuations
in these  amounts.  The  decrease  in  accounts  receivable  of $888  during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001 was primarily due to the decrease in rental
income, a decline in the average  collection  period of accounts  receivable and
the write-off of certain  receivables that had been previously reserved for. The
decrease in accounts receivable of $181 during the comparable period in 2000 was
primarily  due to the  decrease  in the  average  collection  period of accounts
receivable.

For the  six-month  period  ended  June 30,  2001,  net cash  used in  investing
activities  (the purchase and sale of containers)  was $426 compared to net cash
provided by investing  activities of $746 for the same period in 2000.  Net cash
used in investing  activities  increased  $1,172 due to the decrease in proceeds
from container sales and an increase in cash used for container purchases.  Cash
used  for  container  purchases  increased  primarily  as  a  result  of  timing
differences  in the  accrual  and  payment  of these  purchases.  Proceeds  from
container  sales  decreased due to the decrease in the number of containers sold
and a decrease in the average sales price received on containers sold, offset by
timing  differences  in the  accrual and  receipt of these  proceeds.  The sales
prices  received on container sales continued to decrease as a result of current
market  conditions,  which have adversely affected the value of used containers.
Until market conditions improve in certain low demand locations, the Partnership
plans to continue  selling some of its  containers  that are  off-lease in these
locations.  The number of  containers  sold,  both in low demand  locations  and
elsewhere,  as well as the  average  sales  price,  will  affect  how  much  the
Partnership can reinvest in new containers.

Consistent  with its  investment  objectives  and  subject  to its  distribution
policy,  the  Partnership  intends  to  continue  to  reinvest  both  cash  from
operations  available for reinvestment and all, or a significant  amount of, the
proceeds from container  sales in additional  containers.  Cash from  operations
available  for  reinvestment  is generally  equal to cash  provided by operating
activities,  less  distributions  and redemptions paid, which are subject to the
General  Partners'  authority  to set these  amounts  (and modify  reserves  and
working capital), as provided in the Partnership Agreement.  The amount of sales
proceeds will  fluctuate  based on the number of  containers  sold and the sales
price received.  The Partnership  sells containers when (i) a container  reaches
the end of its  useful  life or (ii) an  analysis  indicates  that  the  sale is
warranted based on existing market  conditions and the container's age, location
and condition.

Both cash from  operations  available for  reinvestment  and sales proceeds have
been  adversely  affected by market  conditions.  These market  conditions  have
resulted in a slower than anticipated rate of  reinvestment.  Market  conditions
are  discussed  more fully  under  "Results  of  Operations."  A slower  rate of
reinvestment  will, over time,  affect the size of the  Partnership's  container
fleet. Furthermore, even with reinvestment,  the Partnership is not likely to be
able to replace all the  containers  it sells,  since new  container  prices are
usually  higher  than the  average  sales  price for a used  container,  and the
majority of cash available for reinvestment is from sales proceeds.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income, container depreciation,  direct container expenses, management fees, and
reimbursement of administrative expenses was directly related to the size of the
container  fleet during the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, as
well as certain other factors as discussed  below. The following is a summary of
the container fleet (in units) available for lease during those periods:

                                                         2001             2000
                                                        ------           ------

          Beginning container fleet...............      33,062           32,876
          Ending container fleet..................      32,674           32,451
          Average container fleet.................      32,868           32,664

The slight  increase in the average  container  fleet was due to the Partnership
having  purchased  more  containers  than it  sold  since  June  30,  2000.  The
Partnership's primary source of funds for container purchases is sales proceeds.
Ordinarily,  fewer  containers  are bought than sold,  as used  container  sales
prices are lower than new  container  prices,  resulting in a decline in average
fleet size.  Nevertheless,  this decline can  temporarily  reverse itself due to
timing  differences in the purchase and sale of containers and  fluctuations  in
container sale and purchase prices.  The increase in the average container fleet
from the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 to the comparable  period in 2001,
was primarily due to these timing differences.

As noted above,  when containers are sold in the future,  sales proceeds are not
likely to be sufficient to replace all of the containers sold,  resulting in the
continuing  decline in the average  container  fleet.  This trend is expected to
continue.  Other factors related to this trend are discussed above in "Liquidity
and Capital Resources".

Rental income and direct container expenses are also affected by the utilization
of the container  fleet,  which was 66% and 77% on average during the six months
ended  June 30,  2001 and 2000,  respectively.  In  addition,  rental  income is
affected by daily rental rates.


The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

The Partnership's (loss) income from operations for the six-month periods ending
June 30, 2001 and 2000 was ($381) and $1,589, respectively,  on rental income of
$7,343 and $8,826,  respectively.  The decrease in rental  income of $1,483,  or
17%, from the six-month  period ended June 30, 2000 to the comparable  period in
2001 was  attributable to decreases in container  rental income and other rental
income.  Income from container  rentals,  the major  component of total revenue,
decreased  $1,380,  or 18%,  primarily  due to the  decrease in average  on-hire
utilization of 14% between the periods.

In the fourth quarter of 2000, utilization began to decline and has continued to
decline  through  the end of the  second  quarter  of  2001.  This  decline  was
primarily due to lower overall demand by shipping  lines for leased  containers,
which is  partially a result of the economic  slowdown in the United  States and
Europe.  Two  other  factors  are  currently  reducing  the  demand  for  leased
containers.  Shipping  lines have added larger  vessels to their  fleets,  which
combined with lower cargo volume  growth,  has made it easier for shipping lines
to use otherwise  empty cargo space to reposition  their own containers  back to
high demand  locations.  Additionally,  in anticipation of the delivery of these
new, larger vessels,  many shipping lines placed large orders for new containers
in  2000  and  early  2001,  thus  temporarily  reducing  their  need  to  lease
containers.

As a result of the lower  demand,  the trade  imbalance  between  Asia and North
America and Asia and Europe has eased slightly.  Combined with the excess vessel
capacity,  these  factors  have made it easier,  although not  necessarily  less
expensive, to reposition containers.  During the six-month period ended June 30,
2001, the  Partnership was able to reposition  newer  containers from low demand
locations in North America to historically higher demand locations in Asia. As a
consequence,  the build-up of containers in North America,  which persisted over
the past several years, has eased.

Nevertheless,  the Partnership  continues to sell (rather than  reposition) some
containers  located in low demand locations.  The decision to sell containers is
based on the current  expectation  that the  economic  benefit of selling  these
containers is greater than the estimated  economic  benefit of continuing to own
these  containers.  The  majority of the  containers  sold during the  six-month
periods  ended  June 30,  2001 and 2000  were  older  containers.  The  expected
economic  benefit of continuing to own these containers was  significantly  less
than that of newer  containers.  This was due to their shorter  remaining marine
life, the cost to reposition them and the shipping lines' preference for leasing
newer containers when demand is low.

Once the decision had been made to sell containers,  the Partnership  wrote down
the value of these  specifically  identified  containers to their estimated fair
value, which was based on recent sales prices. Due to unanticipated  declines in
container sales prices, the actual sales prices received on some containers were
lower than the estimates used for the  write-down,  resulting in the Partnership
incurring  losses  upon  the  sale of some of  these  containers.  Until  market
conditions improve,  the Partnership may incur further write-downs and/or losses
on the  sale of such  containers.  Should  the  decline  in  economic  value  of
continuing to own such containers turn out to be permanent,  the Partnership may
be required to increase its depreciation rate or write-down the value of some or
all of its container rental equipment.

Despite  the  decline in demand for leased  containers  discussed  above and the
decline in new container sales prices,  the stabilization of rental rates, which
began during 2000, has continued into the first half of 2001.

Until such time as the  economies of the United States and Europe  improve,  and
cargo volumes  increase to the point where this year's 12% increase in worldwide
vessel  capacity  is  absorbed,  there  may be no  significant  improvements  in
utilization.

Therefore,  the General  Partners do not  foresee  material  changes in existing
market  conditions  for the  near  term  and  caution  that  demand  for  leased
containers  could  decline  further  and result in a decline in lease  rates and
further declines in utilization and container sale prices,  adversely  affecting
the Partnership's operating results.

Other rental income consists of other lease-related items, primarily income from
charges to lessees for dropping off containers in surplus locations less credits
granted to lessees for  leasing  containers  from  surplus  locations  (location
income),  income  from  charges to lessees for  handling  related to leasing and
returning  containers (handling income) and income from charges to lessees for a
Damage  Protection Plan (DPP). For the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, the
total of these other  rental  income items was $874, a decrease of $103 from the
equivalent period in 2000. The decrease in other rental income was primarily due
to decreases in handling and DPP income of $78 and $69, respectively,  offset by
an increase in  location  income of $43.  Handling  income  declined  due to the
decrease  container  movement  during the  six-month  period ended June 30, 2001
compared  to the  equivalent  period in 2000.  DPP  income  declined  due to the
decline in the number of containers  carrying DPP,  offset by an increase in the
average DPP price charged per container. The increase in location income was due
to an increase  in charges to lessees for  dropping  off  containers  in certain
locations,  offset by an increase  in credits  granted to lessees for picking up
containers from surplus locations.

Direct  container  expenses  increased  $646, or 27% from the  six-month  period
ending  June 30,  2000,  to the  equivalent  period  in 2001,  primarily  due to
increases in storage,  repositioning and maintenance  expenses of $485, $210 and
$72,  respectively,  offset by a decrease in DPP expense of $80. Storage expense
increased  due to the decrease in average  utilization  noted above and a higher
average storage cost per container.  Repositioning  expense  increased due to an
increase  in the  number  of  containers  repositioned  and the  higher  average
repositioning  cost per  container.  Maintenance  expense  increased  due to the
increase in the number of containers  requiring  maintenance  and an increase in
the average  maintenance cost per container.  The decline in DPP expense was due
to a decrease in the number of  containers  covered  under DPP and a decrease in
the average DPP cost per container.

Bad debt benefit decreased from $81 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000
to $47 for  the  comparable  period  in  2001.  The  decline  was due to a lower
required  adjustment to bad debt reserve during the six-month  period ended June
30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.

Depreciation  expense was  comparable  at $3,380 and $3,392 during the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

New container prices declined from 1995 through 1999.  Although container prices
increased in 2000,  these prices  declined again in the first half of 2001. As a
result,  the cost of new containers  purchased in recent years is  significantly
less  than  the  average  cost of  containers  purchased  in  prior  years.  The
Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability  of the recorded  amount of container
rental  equipment  at June  30,  2001 and  2000  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  and  determined  that a reduction  to the  carrying  value of these
containers  was  required.  The  Partnership  wrote  down  the  value  of  these
containers to their estimated fair value, which was based on recent sales prices
less cost to sell.  During the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
the Partnership  recorded write-down  expenses of $87 and $150,  respectively on
167 and 200 containers  identified as for sale and requiring a reserve.  At June
30, 2001 and 2000,  the net book value of containers  identified as for sale was
$353 and $302, respectively.

The Partnership sold 121 of these previously  written down containers for a loss
of $8 during the six-month  period ended June 30, 2001,  and sold 165 previously
written  down  containers  for a loss of $8 during the same period of 2000.  The
Partnership  incurred losses on the sale of some containers  previously  written
down as the actual sales prices received on these containers were lower than the
estimates used for the write-downs,  primarily due to unexpected declines in the
container prices.

The Partnership also sold containers that had not been written down and recorded
a loss of $14 and a gain of $46 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively.

If more  containers are  subsequently  identified for sale or if container sales
prices continue to decline, the Partnership may incur additional  write-downs on
containers  and/or may incur losses on the sale of containers.  The  Partnership
will  continue  to  evaluate  the  recoverability  of the  recorded  amounts  of
container  rental  equipment and cautions that a write-down of container  rental
equipment and/or an increase in its depreciation  rate may be required in future
periods for some or all of its container rental equipment.

Management fees to affiliates  decreased $109, or 13%, from the six-month period
ended June 30,  2000 to the  comparable  period in 2001,  due to a  decrease  in
equipment  management fees. The decrease in equipment management fees, which are
based  primarily on gross revenue,  resulted from the decrease in rental income.
These fees were  approximately  7% of rental income for both periods.  Incentive
management  fees were  comparable at $198 and $200 during the six-month  periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

General and administrative  costs to affiliates  decreased $42, or 10%, from the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 to the comparable period in 2001, primarily
due to a  decrease  in  the  allocation  of  overhead  costs  from  TEM,  as the
Partnership represented a smaller portion of the total fleet managed by TEM.

Gain/loss  on sale  of  containers  fluctuated  from a gain  of $38  during  the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000 to a loss of $22 for the comparable  period
in 2001.  The  fluctuation  was  primarily due to a decline in the average sales
price of containers,  which resulted in the Partnership  selling containers at a
loss during the six-month period ended June 30, 2001.

Net earnings per limited  partnership unit decreased from earnings of $0.24 to a
loss of $0.05 from the  six-month  period ended June 30, 2000 to the same period
in 2001,  reflecting the decrease in net earnings  allocated to limited partners
from earnings of $1,644 to a loss of $367,  respectively.  The allocation of net
loss/earnings  for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 included a
special  allocation  of gross  income to the  General  Partners  of $53 and $33,
respectively, in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.


The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

The  Partnership's  (loss) income from  operations for the  three-month  periods
ending  June 30,  2001 and 2000 was  ($287)  and $886,  respectively,  on rental
income of $3,464 and $4,395,  respectively.  The  decrease  in rental  income of
$931, or 21%, from the three-month  period ended June 30, 2000 to the comparable
period in 2001 was  attributable  to decreases in  container  rental  income and
other rental  income.  Income from  container  rentals  decreased  $906, or 23%,
primarily due to the decrease in average on-hire utilization of 21%.

Other rental income was $410 for the  three-month  period ended June 30, 2001, a
decrease of $25 from the  equivalent  period in 2000. The decrease was primarily
due to decreases in handling and DPP income of $37 and $17, respectively, offset
by an increase in location income of $29.  Handling income  decreased  primarily
due to a decrease in  container  movement,  offset by an increase in the average
handling  charge per  container.  DPP income  declined due to the decline in the
number of  containers  carrying  DPP,  offset by an  increase in the average DPP
price charged per container.  The increase in location  income was primarily due
to an increase  in charges to lessees for  dropping  off  containers  in certain
locations.

Direct  container  expenses  increased $308, or 26% from the three-month  period
ending  June 30,  2000,  to the  equivalent  period in 2001.  The  increase  was
primarily due to increases in storage and maintenance  expenses of $328 and $50,
respectively,  offset by a  decrease  in DPP  expense  of $65.  Storage  expense
increased  due to the  decrease  in average  utilization  noted above and higher
average storage costs per container.  Maintenance  expense  increased due to the
increase in the number of containers  requiring  maintenance  and an increase in
the average  maintenance cost per container.  The decline in DPP expense was due
to a decrease in the number of containers covered under DPP and a decline in the
average DPP cost per container.

Bad debt benefit  decreased from $118 for the three-month  period ended June 30,
2000 to $41 for the  comparable  period in 2001.  The decline was due to a lower
required adjustment to bad debt reserve during the three-month period ended June
30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.

Depreciation  expense was comparable at $1,683 and $1,689 during the three-month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

During the  three-month  periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  the  Partnership
recorded  write-down  expenses  of $50  and  $105,  respectively,  on 95 and 102
containers  identified  as  for  sale  and  requiring  a  reserve.   During  the
three-month  period  ended  June  30,  2001  the  Partnership  sold 84 of  these
previously  written  down  containers  for a loss of $4 and  sold 81  previously
written  down  containers  for a gain of $1 during the same period in 2000.  The
Partnership  also sold  containers  that had not been  written down and recorded
gains of $10 and $40  during the  three-month  periods  ended June 30,  2001 and
2000, respectively.

Management fees to affiliates decreased $66, or 16%, from the three-month period
ended June 30, 2000 to the  comparable  period in 2001,  due to the  decrease in
equipment  management fees, which decreased due to the decline in rental income.
These fees were  approximately  7% of rental income for both periods.  Incentive
management fees were  comparable at $99 and $100 during the three-month  periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

General and administrative  costs to affiliates  decreased $31, or 14%, from the
three-month  period  ended  June  30,  2000 to the  comparable  period  in 2001,
primarily due to a decrease in the allocation of overhead costs from TEM, as the
Partnership represented a smaller portion of the total fleet managed by TEM.

Gain on sale of containers  decreased $35 from the three-month period ended June
30, 2000 the  comparable  period in 2001.  The decrease was  primarily  due to a
decline in the average gain recorded on the sale of containers.

Net earnings per limited  partnership  unit decreased from earnings of $0.14 for
the  three-month  period  ended  June 30,  2000 to a loss of $0.04  for the same
period in 2001,  reflecting  the decrease in net  earnings  allocated to limited
partners from earnings of $921 to a loss of $287,  respectively.  The allocation
of net  earnings  (loss)  included a special  allocation  of gross income to the
General Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.

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.  The General  Partners are not
aware of any  conditions as of June 30, 2001,  which would result in such a risk
materializing.

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

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  therefor,
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 and
from time to time in the Partnership's  filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The  Partnership  does  not  undertake  any  obligation  to  update
forward-looking statements.
