Notes To Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002
(Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)
(unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Note 1.   General

     TCC  Equipment  Income  Fund  (the   Partnership),   a  California  limited
     partnership  with a maximum  life of 20  years,  was  formed  in 1987.  The
     Partnership owns a fleet of intermodal marine cargo  containers,  which are
     leased to international shipping lines.

     In January  1998,  the  Partnership  ceased  purchasing  containers  and in
     October 1998, the Partnership  began its liquidation  phase. This phase may
     last up to six or more years  depending on whether the  containers are sold
     (i) in one or more large  transactions  or (ii)  gradually,  either as they
     reach the end of their marine  useful  lives or when an analysis  indicates
     that their sale is warranted  based on existing  market  conditions and the
     container's age, location and condition.  The Partnership  anticipates that
     all excess cash, after  redemptions and working capital  reserves,  will be
     distributed to the limited and general partners on a quarterly basis.

     The final termination and winding up of the Partnership, as well as payment
     of  liquidating  and/or final  distributions,  will occur at the end of the
     liquidation  phase  when  all or  substantially  all  of the  Partnership's
     containers have been sold and the Partnership  begins its dissolution.  The
     accompanying  financial  statements  have been  prepared on a going concern
     basis  which  contemplates  the  realization  of  assets  and  payments  of
     liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

     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,  2003 and  December  31,  2002 and the
     results of its operations,  changes in partners' capital and cash flows for
     the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2002, 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 Partnership's  management  believes the following  critical  accounting
     policies  affect its more  significant  judgments and estimates 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.   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 Partnership depreciates its container rental equipment based on certain
     estimates related to the container's  useful life and salvage value.  These
     estimates  are based  upon  assumptions  about  future  demand  for  leased
     containers  and the  estimated  sales  price at the end of the  container's
     useful life. 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. As a result, depreciation expense may fluctuate in
     future periods based on fluctuations in these estimates.

     Additionally,  the  recoverability of the recorded amounts of containers to
     be held for continued use and identified for sale in the ordinary course of
     business are evaluated to ensure that containers held for continued use are
     not  impaired  and that  containers  identified  for sale are  recorded  at
     amounts  that do not exceed  the  estimated  fair value of the  containers.
     Containers  to be held for continued  use are  considered  impaired and are
     written down to estimated fair value when the estimated future undiscounted
     cash flows are less than the recorded  values.  Containers  identified  for
     sale are  written  down to  estimated  fair value when the  recorded  value
     exceeds the estimated  fair value.  In  determining  the  estimated  future
     undiscounted cash flows and fair value of containers,  assumptions are made
     regarding future demand and market conditions for leased containers and the
     sales prices for used  containers.  If actual  market  conditions  are less
     favorable  than those  projected  or if actual  sales prices are lower than
     those estimated by the Partnership,  additional write-downs may be required
     and/or losses may be realized.

     In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated
     With  Exit or  Disposal  Activities".  SFAS  No.  146  addresses  financial
     accounting  and  reporting  for  costs  associated  with  exit or  disposal
     activities and nullifies  Emerging  Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3
     "Liability  Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other
     Costs  to  Exit  an  Activity   (including  Certain  Costs  Incurred  in  a
     Restructuring)."  This  Statement  requires  that  a  liability  for a cost
     associated  with  an exit or  disposal  activity  be  recognized  when  the
     liability is incurred.  The Partnership  adopted SFAS No. 146 on January 1,
     2003 and  there  was no  material  impact  on the  Partnership's  financial
     condition, operating results or cash flow.

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

Note 2.   Transactions with Affiliates

     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  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 3.11,
     net earnings or losses and distributions are generally  allocated 1% to the
     General Partners and 99% to the Limited  Partners.  Effective October 1998,
     the allocation of  distributions  to the General  Partners was increased to
     1.3% in  accordance  with section  2.05 of the  Partnership  Agreement.  In
     addition,  if the allocation of distributions exceeds the allocation of net
     earnings  (loss) and creates a deficit in the General  Partners'  aggregate
     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 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 $9 and $11 of incentive  management
     fees  during  the  three-month  periods  ended  March  31,  2003 and  2002,
     respectively.  There were no equipment liquidation fees incurred during the
     three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

     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
     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 March 31,
     2003 and December 31, 2002.

     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 $30 and $28 for the  three-month  periods  ended March 31, 2003 and
     2002, 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  TFS.  Total  general  and
     administrative  costs allocated to the  Partnership  during the three-month
     periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

                                               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.  TFS  allocates  these costs either
     based on the ratio of 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, 2003 and 2002:

                                              2003        2002

     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, 2003 and 2002:

                                                            2003          2002

              On-lease under master leases                 2,134         1,896
              On-lease under long-term leases                942           761
                                                           -----         -----

                 Total on-lease containers                 3,076         2,657
                                                           =====         =====

     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
     large  number  of  storage  depots.   At  March  31,  2003  and  2002,  the
     Partnership's off-lease containers were located in the following locations:

                                                   2003          2002

                                                    ===         =====

     At  March  31,  2003,  approximately  10%  of the  Partnership's  off-lease
     containers had been specifically  identified as for sale and are carried at
     lower of cost or estimated disposal proceeds.
<PAGE>

Note 4. Container Rental Equipment

     Effective July 1, 2002, the Partnership  revised its estimate for container
     salvage  value from a percentage of equipment  cost to an estimated  dollar
     residual value. The effect of this change for the three-month  period ended
     March  31,  2003  was an  increase  to  depreciation  expense  of $29.  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.  As a result,  depreciation  expense  may  fluctuate  in future
     periods based on fluctuations in these estimates.

     The  Partnership  stopped  purchasing  containers in 1998,  but its leasing
     activities  are  affected by  fluctuations  in new  container  prices.  New
     container prices steadily declined from 1995 through 1999 and have remained
     low through the beginning of 2003. As a result,  the cost of new containers
     purchased during 1995 through 1997 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
     March 31, 2003 and 2002 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 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.  During the  three-month  periods
     ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership recorded write down expenses
     of $6 and $55,  respectively,  on 13 and 107  containers  identified as for
     sale and  requiring  a reserve.  At March 31,  2003 and 2002,  the net book
     value of the 64 and 203  containers  identified  for sale was $43 and $158,
     respectively.

     The Partnership sold 14 previously written down containers for a gain of $1
     during the  three-month  period ended March 31, 2003 and sold 73 previously
     written  down  containers  for a loss of $5 during the same period in 2002.
     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.

     The  Partnership  also sold  containers  that had not been written down and
     recorded  losses of $9 and $22 during the  three-month  periods ended March
     31, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

     As more containers are subsequently  identified as 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.

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, 2003 and 2002. 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From  October  1987  until  October  1989,  the   Partnership   offered  limited
partnership  interests  to the  public.  The  Partnership  received  its minimum
subscription  amount of $1,000 on April 8, 1988,  and on October 26,  1989,  the
Partnership's offering of limited partnership interests was closed at $29,491.

In October 1998, the Partnership  entered its liquidation  phase, which may last
up to six or more years  depending on whether the containers are sold (i) in one
or more large  transactions or (ii)  gradually,  either as they reach the end of
their  useful  marine  lives or when an  analysis  indicates  that their sale is
warranted based on existing market  conditions and the container's age, location
and condition.  To date, the  Partnership  has sold  containers  only gradually,
rather than in large transactions.  The Partnership  anticipates that all excess
cash, after redemptions and working capital reserves, will be distributed to the
general and limited  partners on a quarterly  basis.  These  distributions  will
consist  of cash  from  operations  and/or  cash  from  sales  proceeds.  As the
Partnership's  container  fleet  decreases,  cash from operations is expected to
decrease,  while cash from sales proceeds is expected to fluctuate  based on the
number of  containers  sold and the actual sales price per  container  received.
Consequently,  the  Partnership  anticipates  that a large portion of all future
distributions will be a return of capital.

The final termination and winding up of the Partnership, as well as payment of
liquidating and/or final distributions, will occur at the end of the liquidation
phase when all or substantially all of the Partnership's containers have been
sold and the Partnership begins its dissolution.

The  Partnership  invests  working  capital  and cash  flow from  operating  and
investing  activities  prior to its  distribution to the partners in short-term,
liquid  investments.  Rental  income and proceeds from  container  sales are the
Partnership's  principal  sources  of  liquidity  and the  source  of funds  for
distributions.  Rental income and container  sales prices are affected by market
conditions for leased and used containers.  Market conditions are discussed more
fully in "Results of  Operations."  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.

During the  three-month  period ended March 31, 2003, the  Partnership  declared
cash distributions to limited partners  pertaining to the fourth quarter of 2002
in the amount of $390,  which  represented  $0.28 per unit. On a cash basis,  as
reflected on the Statements of Cash Flows,  after paying redemptions and general
partner distributions, $214 of these distributions was from operating activities
and the  balance  of $176 was a return  of  capital.  On an  accrual  basis,  as
reflected on the Statements of Partners' Capital, after paying redemptions,  $47
of these  distributions were from current year earnings and $343 was a return of
capital.

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  three-month  period ended March 31,
2003, the Partnership redeemed 4,240 units for a total dollar amount of $15. The
Partnership used cash flow from operations to pay for the redeemed units.

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  for the  three-month  periods ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, was $234 and $246,  respectively.  The decrease of $12,
or  5%  was  primarily  attributable  to  the  fluctuations  in  gross  accounts
receivable  and due from  affiliates,  net,  offset by the  fluctuations  in net
earnings (loss),  adjusted for non-cash transactions and accrued recovery costs.
The decrease of $10 in gross  accounts  receivable  for the  three-month  period
ended March 31, 2003 was  primarily  due to a decline in the average  collection
period of accounts receivable.  The decrease of $64 in gross accounts receivable
during the same period in 2002 was primarily due to a decrease in rental income,
offset by an increase in the average  collection period of accounts  receivable.
The fluctuations in due from affiliates, net resulted from timing differences in
the payment of expenses,  fees,  and  distributions  and the  remittance  of net
rental  revenues and container  sales  proceeds,  as well as in  fluctuations in
these  amounts.  Net  earnings  (loss),   adjusted  for  non-cash  transactions,
fluctuated  primarily  due to the increase in rental  income and the decrease in
direct container  expenses.  These items are discussed more fully under "Results
of  Operations."  The  decrease  in  accrued  recovery  costs of $17  during the
three-month  period ended March 31, 2002 was primarily due to an adjustment made
to  eliminate  the reserve for certain  containers  that were  determined  to be
unrecoverable.

For the three-month  periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, net cash provided by
investing  activities (the sale of containers)  was $91 and $166,  respectively.
The decrease of $75 was due to the Partnership  selling fewer containers  during
the three-month  period ended March 31, 2003,  compared to the equivalent period
in 2002. Some containers  sold were located in low demand  locations,  and these
sales were  driven by the  liquidation  plans  discussed  above,  and by adverse
market  conditions in these locations.  Until demand for containers  improves in
certain low demand locations,  the Partnership plans to continue selling some of
its containers that are off-lease in these  locations  rather than incurring the
expense of repositioning them. Although the average sales prices were comparable
between the periods,  generally,  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.  The sale of containers in low
demand  locations,  the  decline in value for used  containers,  and the related
market conditions are discussed more fully under "Results of Operations."

Due, in part, to current  market  conditions and their effect on demand for used
containers,  the Partnership has been primarily  selling  containers only if the
containers  are at the end of their useful lives or if they are located in these
low  demand  locations.  Therefore,  and as noted  above,  the  Partnership  has
implemented its liquidation phase to date by selling containers  gradually.  The
Partnership will continue to evaluate its options for selling  containers in the
context of both these market conditions and the Partnership's liquidation plans.
The number of containers  sold both in low demand  locations and  elsewhere,  as
well as the amount of sales proceeds,  will affect how much the Partnership will
pay in future distributions to Partners.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income  less  costs  and  expenses  (including  container  depreciation,  direct
container  expenses,   management  fees,  and  reimbursement  of  administrative
expenses)  was directly  related to the size of the  container  fleet during the
three-month  periods  ended  March 31, 2003 and 2002,  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:

                                                      2003            2002
                                                      ----            ----

         Beginning container fleet...............    3,822           4,416
         Ending container fleet..................    3,736           4,212
         Average container fleet.................    3,779           4,314

The average  container  fleet  decreased 12% from the  three-month  period ended
March 31, 2002 to the comparable period in 2003, primarily due to the continuing
sale of  containers  (i) that had reached the end of their  useful lives or (ii)
that an analysis had indicated that their sale was otherwise warranted. Included
in this  second  group were  containers  located in low  demand  locations.  The
Partnership expects that the size of its container fleet will further decline as
additional  containers  are  sold  for  these  reasons  and as  the  Partnership
continues  its  liquidation  plans.  The  Partnership  expects  rental income to
decline as the  container  fleet  declines.  While the decline in the  container
fleet resulted in lower rental income, this decrease was more than offset by the
improvement in utilization,  resulting in the increase in rental income from the
three-month  period ended March 31, 2002 to the same period in 2003.  An overall
decline in rental income is expected to continue in future years, as the size of
the Partnership's container fleet continues to decrease.

Rental  income and direct  container  expenses are also  affected by the average
utilization of the container fleet,  which was 80% and 60% on average during the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,  respectively.  The remaining
container fleet is off-lease and is being stored  primarily at a large number of
storage  depots.  At March  31,  2003  and  2002,  utilization  was 82% and 63%,
respectively, and the Partnership's off-lease containers (in units) were located
in the following locations:

                                                  2003          2002

At March 31, 2003  approximately 10% of the Partnership's  off-lease  containers
had been specifically identified as for sale.

In addition to utilization, rental income is affected by daily rental rates. The
average daily rental rate decreased 11% between the periods. The decrease in the
average  rental  rate was due to  declines  in both  master  and long term lease
rates,  which  are the two  principal  types  of  leases  for the  Partnership's
containers.  The majority of the Partnership's  rental income was generated from
leasing of the Partnership's  containers under master operating  leases,  but in
the past several years an increasing percentage of the Partnership's  containers
have been on lease under long term leases.  At March 31, 2003 and 2002,  31% and
29%, 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.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002.

The  Partnership's  income (loss) from  operations for the  three-month  periods
ending March 31, 2003 and 2002 was $66 and ($58), respectively, on rental income
of $429 and $404,  respectively.  The  increase in rental  income of $25, or 6%,
from the  three-month  period ended March 31, 2002 to the  comparable  period in
2003 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  $18, or 5%,  primarily due to the
increase in average  on-hire  utilization of 33%, offset by decreases in average
fleet size of 12% and average rental rates of 11% between the periods.

Beginning  in March 2002,  utilization  began to improve and  improved  steadily
through the end of 2002 due to:

o   An increase in export cargo out of Asia
o   Prior repositioning of containers to Asia  which  placed large quantities of
    containers in areas of high demand
o   Disposal of older containers and  fewer purchases of  new containers by both
    container  lessors and  shipping  lines in  2001  and  2002, resulting in an
    overall better-balanced supply of containers
o   The labor disagreement that affected U.S. West Coast ports  in the third and
    part of the fourth quarter  had  short-term  positive effects  on demand for
    containers as shipping  lines  were not able to reposition enough containers
    to Asia and had to lease  more  containers to  meet their customers' demands

Utilization   declined   slightly  in  the  first  quarter  of  2003,  which  is
traditionally  a slow period for  container  demand.  Rental rates also declined
slightly  primarily due to low new container prices,  low interest rates and low
rates offered by  competitors.  The General  Partners are cautiously  optimistic
that current  utilization  levels can be maintained or improved  during the next
several months.  However,  the General Partners  caution that market  conditions
could deteriorate again due to global economic and political conditions.  Demand
for leased  containers  could therefore weaken again and result in a decrease in
utilization  and  further  declines in lease rates and  container  sale  prices,
adversely affecting the Partnership's operating results.

Despite  the  improvement  in  utilization  since early  2002,  the  Partnership
continues to sell (rather than reposition) some older containers  located in low
demand locations.  For the number of off-lease  containers  located in the lower
demand  locations in the Americas and Europe,  see chart above.  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 are
older containers. The expected economic benefit of continuing to own these older
containers is significantly  less than that of newer containers.  This is due to
their  shorter  remaining  marine life,  the cost to  reposition  them,  and the
shipping lines' preference for leasing newer containers when they have a choice.

Once the decision was made to sell  containers,  the Partnership  wrote down the
value of these  specifically  identified  containers when the carrying value was
greater than the container's  estimated net realizable value, which was based on
recent  sales  prices  less  cost of  sales.  The  sale of these  containers  is
discussed in more detail below.

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 three-month  period ended March 31, 2003,
other  rental  income was $67, an increase of $7 from the  equivalent  period in
2002.  The increase in other rental  income was  primarily due to an increase in
location income of $7. Location income  increased  primarily due to the increase
in charges to one lessee who  required  containers  to be  delivered to specific
locations.

Direct  container  expenses  decreased $25, or 20%, from the three-month  period
ended  March  31,  2002 to the  equivalent  period  in 2003.  The  decrease  was
primarily due to the decrease in storage  expense of $47, offset by the increase
in repositioning  expense of $26. Storage expense  decreased due to the increase
in  utilization  noted above and the  decrease in the average  storage  cost per
container.  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 as discussed
above and (ii) longer, more expensive average repositioning moves. This increase
was  partially  offset by the decline in the number of  containers  repositioned
between the periods.

Bad debt  (benefit)  expense was ($1) and $7 for the  three-month  periods ended
March  31,  2003  and  2002,  respectively.  Fluctuations  in bad  debt  expense
(benefit)  reflect  the  required  adjustment  to the bad  debt  reserve,  after
deductions  had 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.  The
benefit  recorded during the three-month  period ended March 31, 2003 reflects a
lower reserve  requirement  from December 31, 2002. The expense  recorded during
the  three-month   period  ended  March  31,  2002  reflects  a  higher  reserve
requirement from December 31, 2001.

Depreciation  expense  increased $20, or 13%, from the three-month  period ended
March 31, 2002 to the comparable period in 2003, primarily due to an increase in
the  depreciation  rate as a result of changes in  estimated  salvage  values as
discussed below, offset by the decrease in average fleet size noted above.

Effective  July 1, 2002,  the  Partnership  revised its estimate  for  container
salvage  value  from a  percentage  of  equipment  cost to an  estimated  dollar
residual value. The effect of this change for the three-month period ended March
31, 2003 was an increase to depreciation  expense of $29. 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.  As a result,
depreciation  expense may fluctuate in future periods based on  fluctuations  in
these estimates.

The  Partnership  stopped  purchasing   containers  in  1998,  but  its  leasing
activities are affected by fluctuations in new container  prices.  New container
prices  steadily  declined  from 1995 through 1999 and have remained low through
the beginning of 2003. As a result, the cost of new containers  purchased during
1995 through  1997 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 March 31, 2003 and 2002 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 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. The containers written
down included  those located in low demand  locations and identified for sale as
discussed above.  During the three-month  periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
the Partnership recorded write down expense of $6 and $55,  respectively,  on 13
and 107 containers  identified as for sale and requiring a reserve. At March 31,
2003 and 2002,  the net book value of the 64 and 203  containers  identified for
sale was $43 and $158, respectively.

The  Partnership  sold 14 previously  written down  containers  for a gain of $1
during  the  three-month  period  ended  March 31,  2003 and sold 73  previously
written  down  containers  for a loss of $5 during the same period in 2002.  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.

The Partnership also sold containers that had not been written down and recorded
losses of $9 and $22 during the  three-month  periods ended March 31, 2003,  and
2002, respectively.

As more containers are subsequently identified as 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.

Management fees to affiliates  were $39 for both the  three-month  periods ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002 as the increase in equipment  management fees was offset
by  the  decrease  in  incentive  management  fees.  Equipment  management  fees
increased due to the increase in rental income, upon which equipment  management
fees are primarily based.  These fees were approximately 7% of rental income for
these periods.  Incentive  management fees,  decreased  primarily due to (i) the
decrease in the amount of distributions  paid from cash from operations and (ii)
decreases in partners' capital due to redemptions of limited partners units.

General and  administrative  costs to affiliates  were comparable at $21 and $23
during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

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.  More details about these fees and expenses are included in footnote 2 to
the Financial Statements.
<PAGE>

Other general and administrative costs decreased $14 from the three-month period
ended March 31, 2002 to the same period in 2003.  The decrease was primarily due
to decreases in other service fees between the periods.

Loss on sale of containers decreased $19 from the three-month period ended March
31,  2002 to the  comparable  period in 2003.  The  decrease  in loss on sale of
containers was primarily due to the  Partnership  selling fewer  containers at a
lower  average loss during the  three-month  period ended March 31, 2003 than in
the same period in 2002.

Net earnings/(loss) per limited partnership unit fluctuated from a loss of $0.04
during the  three-month  period ended March 31, 2002 to earnings of $0.04 during
the equivalent period in 2003, reflecting the fluctuation in net earnings/(loss)
allocated  to  limited  partners  from a loss of $62 to  earnings  of  $62.  The
allocation of net  earnings/(loss)  for the three-month  periods ended March 31,
2003 and 2002  included  special  allocations  of gross  income  to the  General
Partners  of $4  and  $7,  respectively,  in  accordance  with  the  Partnership
Agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Partnership's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results
of operations are based upon the Partnership's financial statements,  which have
been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.  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 accompanying financial
statements  have been prepared on a going concern basis which  contemplates  the
realization  of assets and payments of  liabilities  in the  ordinary  course of
business.

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.

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.  If the  financial  condition  of the  Partnership's  lessees  were to
deteriorate,  resulting  in an  impairment  of their  ability to make  payments,
additional  allowances  may  be  required,  which  would  adversely  affect  the
Partnership's operating results.

The  Partnership  depreciates  its container  rental  equipment based on certain
estimates  related to the  container's  useful  life and  salvage  value.  These
estimates are based upon assumptions  about future demand for leased  containers
and the  estimated  sales  price  at the  end of the  container's  useful  life.
Effective  July 1, 2002,  the  Partnership  revised its estimate  for  container
salvage  value  from a  percentage  of  equipment  cost to an  estimated  dollar
residual value. The Partnership will evaluate the estimated  residual values and
remaining  estimated  useful  lives on an  on-going  basis and will  revise  its
estimates as needed. As a result,  depreciation  expense may fluctuate in future
periods based on fluctuations  in these  estimates.  If the estimates  regarding
residual  value and  remaining  useful life of the  containers  were to decline,
depreciation  expense would  increase,  adversely  affecting  the  Partnership's
operating results.

Additionally,  the  recoverability  of the recorded  amounts of containers to be
held for  continued  use and  identified  for  sale in the  ordinary  course  of
business are evaluated to ensure that  containers held for continued use are not
impaired and that containers identified for sale are recorded at amounts that do
not exceed the estimated fair value of the containers. Containers to be held for
continued  use are  considered  impaired and are written down to estimated  fair
value  when the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash  flows  are less than the
recorded  values.  Containers  identified for sale are written down to estimated
fair  value when the  recorded  value  exceeds  the  estimated  fair  value.  In
determining  the  estimated  future  undiscounted  cash  flows and fair value of
containers,  assumptions are made regarding future demand and market  conditions
for leased containers and the sales prices for used containers. If actual market
conditions are less favorable than those projected or if actual sales prices are
lower than those  estimated by the  Partnership,  additional  write-downs may be
required  and/or losses may be realized.  Any  additional  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,  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. See "Critical
Accounting  Policies and Estimates"  above for information on the  Partnership's
critical  accounting policies and how changes in those estimates could adversely
affect the Partnership's results of operations.

The foregoing includes forward-looking statements and predictions about possible
or  future  events,  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.   These
statements  and  predictions  may  prove  to  be  inaccurate,   because  of  the
assumptions  made by the  Partnership  or the  General  Partners  or the  actual
development  of  future  events.  No  assurance  can be given  that any of these
forward-looking statements or predictions will ultimately prove to be correct or
even substantially correct. The risks and uncertainties in these forward-looking
statements  include,  but are not  limited  to,  changes  in demand  for  leased
containers,  changes in global  business  conditions  and their  effect on world
trade,  future  modifications  in the way in  which  the  Partnership's  lessees
conduct their business or of the  profitability of their business,  increases or
decreases in new container  prices or the  availability of financing  therefore,
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.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Inapplicable.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Based on an evaluation of the Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934)
conducted  within  ninety days of the filing date of this  report,  the managing
general partner's  principal  executive officer and principal  financial officer
have found those  controls and  procedures to be  effective.  There have been no
significant  changes in the Partnership's  internal controls or in other factors
that could  significantly  affect these controls subsequent to the date of their
evaluation   including  any  corrective   actions  with  regard  to  significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
