Notes To Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 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 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  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 September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 and the
     results  of its  operations  for the three  and  nine-month  periods  ended
     September 30, 2003 and 2002 and changes in partners' capital and cash flows
     for the  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 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  (loss),  have been
     made to  prior  year  amounts  in order to  conform  to the 2003  financial
     statement presentation.

     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 $10 and $27 of incentive management
     fees during the three and  nine-month  periods  ended  September  30, 2003,
     respectively,  and $9 and  $25  during  the  comparable  periods  in  2002,
     respectively.  There were no equipment liquidation fees incurred during the
     nine-month periods ended September 30, 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 September
     30, 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 $28 and $87 for the three and  nine-month  periods ended  September
     30, 2003, respectively,  and $29 and $85, respectively,  for the comparable
     periods in 2002.

     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 and
     nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were as follows:

     fleet managed by TEM during the period.  TFS allocates these costs based on
     the ratio of the  Partnership's  investors to the total number of investors

     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 September 30, 2003 and 2002:

                                                       2003          2002

              On-lease under master leases            1,859         2,140
              On-lease under long-term leases         1,103           931
                                                      -----         -----

                 Total on-lease containers            2,962         3,071
                                                      =====         =====

     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  of  the  containers  to  the
     Partnership  at any time,  subject  to  certain  restrictions  in the lease
     agreement. Under long-term lease agreements,  containers are usually leased
     from the  Partnership  for  periods of between  three to five  years.  Such
     leases  are  generally  cancelable  with  a  penalty  at the  end  of  each
     twelve-month  period.  Under direct  finance  leases,  the  containers  are
     usually leased from the  Partnership  for the remainder of the  container's
     useful life with a purchase option at the end of the lease term.

     The remaining containers are off-lease and are located primarily at a large
     number of storage depots. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership's
     off-lease containers were in the following locations:

                                                       2003          2002

                 Total off-lease containers             578           853
                                                        ===           ===

     At  September  30, 2003  approximately  7% of the  Partnership's  off-lease
     containers had been specifically identified as for sale.


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 both the three and nine-month
     periods ended September 30, 2002 was an increase to depreciation expense of
     $212.  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  2003.  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 September 30, 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 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 nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 2003 and
     2002,  the  Partnership  recorded  write-down  expenses  of $12  and  $113,
     respectively, on 52 and 212 containers identified as for sale and requiring
     a reserve.  During the  three-month  periods  ended  September 30, 2003 and
     2002,  the  Partnership   recorded  write-down  expenses  of  $2  and  $36,
     respectively,  on 20 and 50 containers  identified for sale and requiring a
     reserve.  During the nine-month  periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
     the  Partnership  also  reclassified  4 and 28 containers  from  containers
     identified  for  sale  to  containers  held  for  continued  use due to the
     improvement in demand for leased  containers in Asia. At September 30, 2003
     and 2002,  the net book value of the 40 and 121  containers  identified for
     sale was $30 and $102, respectively.


     The Partnership sold 51 previously written down containers for a gain of $1
     during  the  nine-month  period  ended  September  30,  2003  and  sold 215
     previously written down containers for a loss of $15 during the same period
     in 2002.  During  the  three-month  period  ended  September  30,  2003 the
     Partnership sold 16 previously written down containers for a gain of $2 and
     sold 55 previously written down containers for a loss of $8 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 $58 and $9 during the nine-month periods ended September
     30, 2003  and 2002,  respectively.  During the  three-month   periods ended
     September 30, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership recorded losses of $21 and $6,
     respectively, on the sale of containers that had not been written down.

     As more containers are subsequently  identified as for sale or if container
     sales prices 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 and  nine-month  periods
ended September 30, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Partnership  declared
cash distributions to limited partners  pertaining to the fourth quarter of 2002
through  the second  quarter of 2003 in the  amount of $954,  which  represented
$0.68 per unit. On a cash basis,  as reflected on the  Statements of Cash Flows,
after  paying  redemptions  and  general  partner  distributions,  $680 of these
distributions was from operating activities and the balance of $274 was a return
of capital.  On an accrual  basis,  as reflected on the  Statements of Partners'
Capital, after paying redemptions,  $48 of these distributions were from current
year earnings and $906 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 nine-month period ended September 30,
2003, the  Partnership  redeemed  12,290 units for a total dollar amount of $42.
The  Partnership  used cash from  operating  activities  to pay for the redeemed
units.

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  for the  nine-month  periods  ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002,  was $735 and $591,  respectively.  The increase of
$144, or 24%, was primarily due to fluctuations in net earnings (loss), adjusted
for  non-cash  transactions,  and in due from  affiliates,  net,  offset  by the
fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued  liabilities.  Net earnings (loss),
adjusted for non-cash transactions,  fluctuated primarily due to the decrease in
direct  container  expenses and the increase in rental  income.  These items are
discussed more fully under "Results of Operations." 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. The fluctuations in
accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted from timing differences in the
payment of expenses and fees, as well as in fluctuations in these amounts.

For the nine-month  periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, net cash provided
by  investing   activities   (the  sale  of  containers)   was  $238  and  $449,
respectively.  The decrease of $211 was primarily due to the Partnership selling
fewer containers during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, compared
to the equivalent  period in 2002.  Some of the 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. The sale of
containers in these  locations,  the decline in the value of used  containers in
recent years and the related  market  conditions  are discussed more fully under
"Results of Operations."

Due, in part,  to these  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
nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 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..................    3,540      3,924
           Average container fleet.................    3,681      4,170

The average  container  fleet  decreased  12% from the  nine-month  period ended
September  30,  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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to the same period in
2003. An overall  decline in rental  income is expected 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 82% and 66% on average during the
nine-month  periods  ended  September  30,  2003  and  2002,  respectively.  The
remaining  container  fleet is  off-lease  and is located  primarily  at a large
number of storage  depots.  At September 30, 2003 and 2002,  utilization was 84%
and 78%,  respectively,  and the Partnership's  off-lease  containers (in units)
were in the following locations:

At September 30, 2003 approximately 7% 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 for the Partnership's  containers decreased 8% between
the periods.  Average rental rates declined primarily due to the decline in long
term lease  rates.  The  decline in average  rental  rates under  master  leases
between the periods was minor. 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 September
30, 2003 and 2002,  37% and 30%,  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
nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

The Partnership's income (loss) from operations for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $101 and ($246), respectively,  on rental income
of $1,247 and $1,227, respectively. The increase in rental income of $20, or 2%,
from the nine-month  period ended September 30, 2002 to the comparable period in
2003 was attributable to an increase in income from container rentals, offset by
a decrease in other rental  income.  Income from  container  rentals,  the major
component of total revenue,  increased $28, or 3%, primarily due to the increase
in average on-hire  utilization of 24%, offset by the decreases in average fleet
size of 12% and average rental rates of 8% between the periods.

Beginning  in March 2002,  utilization  began to improve and  improved  steadily
through the end of 2002.  Utilization  declined slightly in the first quarter of
2003, which is traditionally a slow period for container demand, improved during
the second quarter and was stable in the third quarter of 2003.  Utilization has
remained  relatively strong due to a large volume of export cargo out of Asia, a
larger percentage of containers under long term lease and efforts by the General
Partners to reduce the  quantities of containers  that can be redelivered in low
demand  locations.  However,  rental rates continued to slowly decline 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  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.

Although demand for leased containers has improved,  the trade imbalance between
Asia  and  the  Americas  continues.  As  a  result,  a  large  portion  of  the
Partnership's  off-lease  containers are located in low demand  locations in the
Americas  as  detailed  in the  above  chart.  For  these  and  other  off-lease
containers,  the Partnership  determines whether these containers should be sold
or held for  continued  use.  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 is made to sell  containers,  the Partnership  writes down the
value of these  specifically  identified  containers  when the carrying value is
greater than the container's  estimated net realizable value,  which is based on
recent sales prices less cost of sales.  Container  sales prices  appear to have
stabilized  as the average sales price for  containers  sold by TEM on behalf of
the  Partnership  as well as  other  container  owners  was  comparable  for the
nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 2003 and 2002.  Fluctuations in average
sales prices between the periods are primarily due to the type of container sold
as well as the location of the container.

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 nine-month  period ended  September 30,
2003, other rental income was $173, a decrease of $8 from the equivalent  period
in 2002.  The decrease in other rental income was primarily due to a decrease in
handling income of $20, offset by an increase in DPP income of $15. The decrease
in handling  income was primarily due to a decrease in container  movement.  DPP
income  increased  primarily  due to the  increase  in the number of  containers
covered under DPP.

Direct  container  expenses  decreased $58, or 15%, from the  nine-month  period
ended  September  30, 2002 to the  equivalent  period in 2003.  The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in storage expense of $106, offset by the increase
in repositioning  expense of $59. Storage expense decreased primarily 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  and (ii)
longer average  repositioning  moves.  This increase was partially offset by the
decline in the number of containers repositioned between the periods.

Bad debt (benefit) expense  fluctuated from ($2) for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2002 to $7 for the comparable period in 2003.  Fluctuations in bad
debt  (benefit)expense  reflect the  adjustment to the bad debt  reserve,  after
deductions  have been taken against the reserve,  and are based on  management's
then  current  estimates of the portion of accounts  receivable  that may not be
collected, and which will not be covered by insurance. These estimates are based
primarily on management's  current assessment of the financial  condition of the
Partnership's  lessees and their ability to make their  required  payments.  The
benefit recorded during the nine-month  period ended September 30, 2002 reflects
a lower reserve  estimate,  after deductions had been taken against the reserve,
from December 31, 2001. The expense recorded during the nine-month  period ended
September 30, 2003 reflects a higher reserve estimate, after deductions had been
taken against the reserve, from December 31, 2002.

Depreciation  expense  decreased $160, or 24%, from the nine-month  period ended
September 30, 2002 to the comparable  period in 2003. The decrease was primarily
due to an additional depreciation expense of $187 booked in the third quarter of
2002 to write down fully  depreciated  containers to the new  estimated  salvage
values as discussed below and 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 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
2003.  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 September  30, 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 nine-month  periods ended  September
30, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership recorded write-down expenses of $12 and $113,
respectively,  on 52 and 212  containers  identified as for sale and requiring a
reserve.  During the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2003 and 2002, the
Partnership also reclassified 4 and 28 containers from containers identified for
sale to containers  held for continued use due to the  improvement in demand for
leased containers in Asia. At September 30, 2003 and 2002, the net book value of
the 40 and 121 containers identified for sale was $30 and $102, respectively.

The  Partnership  sold 51 previously  written down  containers  for a gain of $1
during the  nine-month  period ended  September 30, 2003 and sold 215 previously
written down  containers  for a loss of $15 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 $58 and $9 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, and
2002, respectively.

As more containers are subsequently identified as for sale or if container sales
prices 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  increased $4, or 4%, from the nine-month  period
ended  September  30, 2002 to the same period in 2003,  due to increases in both
equipment and incentive management fees. Equipment management fees increased due
to the increase in rental  income,  upon which these fees are  primarily  based.
These fees were  approximately  7% of rental income for both periods.  Incentive
management  fees  increased  primarily  due to the  increase  in the  amount  of
distributions paid from cash from operations.

General and  administrative  costs to  affiliates  decreased $6, or 9%, from the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to the comparable period in 2003. The
decrease was primarily due to the decrease in overhead costs allocated from TEM,
which  decreased as the  Partnership  represented a smaller portion of the fleet
managed by TEM.

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.

Other general and administrative  costs decreased $40 from the nine-month period
ended  September 30, 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  increased  $33 from  the  nine-month  period  ended
September 30, 2002 to the comparable  period in 2003.  Although the  Partnership
sold fewer containers, loss on sale of containers increased primarily due to the
Partnership incurring greater average losses on the sale of containers.

Net earnings/(loss) per limited partnership unit fluctuated from a loss of $0.18
during the  nine-month  period  ended  September  30,  2002 to earnings of $0.06
during  the  equivalent  period  in  2003,  reflecting  the  fluctuation  in net
earnings/(loss) allocated to limited partners from a loss of $255 to earnings of
$90,  respectively.  The  allocation of net  earnings/(loss)  for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 included a special allocation of gross
income to the General Partners of $12 and $16, respectively,  in accordance with
the Partnership Agreement.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

The  Partnership's  income (loss) from  operations for the  three-month  periods
ended  September 30, 2003 and 2002 was $24 and ($188),  respectively,  on rental
income of $400 and $428, respectively.  The decrease in rental income of $28, or
7%, from the  three-month  period  ended  September  30, 2002 to the  comparable
period in 2003 was  attributable  to decreases in income from container  rentals
and other rental  income.  Income from  container  rentals  decreased $15 or 4%,
primarily due to the  decreases in average fleet size of 10% and average  rental
rates of 6% between  the  periods,  offset by the  increase  in average  on-hire
utilization of 14%.

For the  three-month  period ended  September 30, 2003,  other rental income was
$52, a decrease of $13 from the equivalent period in 2002. The decrease in other
rental income was primarily due to decreases in location and handling  income of
$11 and $9,  respectively,  offset by an increase in DPP income of $7.  Location
income decreased  primarily due to an increase in credits granted to lessees for
picking  up  containers  from  certain  locations.   Handling  income  decreased
primarily  due  to a  decrease  in  container  movement.  DPP  income  increased
primarily due to the increase in the number of containers covered under DPP.

Direct container expenses decreased $4, or 3%, from the three-month period ended
September 30, 2002 to the equivalent  period in 2003. The decrease was primarily
due to the  decrease  in  storage  expense  of $22,  offset by the  increase  in
repositioning  expense of $25. Storage expense  decreased due to the increase in
utilization noted above.  Repositioning  expense increased due to an increase in
the average  repositioning  cost primarily due to longer  average  repositioning
moves and an  increase  in the number of  containers  repositioned  between  the
periods.

Bad debt benefit was $1 and $3 for the  three-month  periods ended September 30,
2003 and 2002,  respectively.  The  benefits  recorded  during  the  three-month
periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 reflect lower reserve estimates, after
deductions had been taken, from June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Depreciation  expense  decreased $195, or 54% from the three-month  period ended
September 30, 2002 to the comparable  period in 2003. The decrease was primarily
due to an additional depreciation expense of $187 booked in the third quarter of
2002 to write down fully  depreciated  containers to the new  estimated  salvage
values and the decrease in average fleet size noted above.

During  the  three-month   periods  ended  September  30,  2003  and  2002,  the
Partnership recorded write-down expenses of $2 and $36, respectively,  on 20 and
50 containers  identified as for sale and requiring a reserve.  The  Partnership
sold 16 of these previously  written down containers for a gain of $2 during the
three-month  period ended September 30, 2003 and sold 55 previously written down
containers for a loss of $8 during the same period in 2002. The Partnership also
sold containers that had not been written down and recorded losses of $21 and $6
during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Management  fees to  affiliates  were $38 for  both  three-month  periods  ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002.

General and  administrative  costs to affiliates  were $19 for both  three-month
periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002.

Other general and administrative costs decreased $13 from the three-month period
ended  September 30, 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 increased from $14 to $19 from the three-month period
ended  September 30, 2002 to the same period in 2003.  Although the  Partnership
sold fewer containers, loss on sale of containers increased primarily due to the
Partnership incurring greater average losses on the sale of containers.

Net earnings (loss) per limited partnership unit fluctuated from a loss of $0.13
during the three-month  period ended September 30, 2002 to earnings of $0.01 for
the same period in 2003,  reflecting  the  fluctuation  in net  earnings  (loss)
allocated  to the  limited  partners  from  ($190)  to  $21,  respectively.  The
allocation of net earnings (loss) included a special  allocation of gross income
to the general partners made 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 on a going concern basis, 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 for them,
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-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 most recent fiscal quarter, and which has materially affected,  or
is reasonably  likely materially to affect,  the Partnership's  internal control
over financial reporting.
