ITEM 1.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

For more detailed information about the Registrant's  business, see "Business of
the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented.

(a)            General Development of Business

               The  Registrant  is a California  Limited  Partnership  formed on
               October 30,  1991 to  purchase,  own,  operate,  lease,  and sell
               equipment used in the containerized cargo shipping industry.  The
               Registrant   commenced   offering  units   representing   limited
               partnership  interests (Units) to the public on April 30, 1992 in
               accordance  with its  Registration  Statement and ceased to offer
               such Units as of April 30, 1994. The Registrant raised a total of
               $136,918,060 from the offering and invested a substantial portion
               of the  money  raised  in  equipment.  The  Registrant  has since
               engaged in leasing this and other equipment in the  international
               shipping industry.

               See Item 10 herein for a description of the Registrant's  General
               Partners.  See Item 7 herein for a description  of current market
               conditions affecting the Registrant's business.

(b)            Financial Information About Industry Segments

               Inapplicable.

(c)            Narrative Description of Business

(c)(1)(i)      A  container  leasing  company   generally,   and  the Registrant
               specifically,  is  an    operating   business   comparable  to  a
               rental  car  business.  A  customer  can  lease a car from a bank
               leasing department for a monthly charge which represents the cost
               of the car, plus interest,  amortized over the term of the lease;
               or the  customer  can rent the same car from a rental car company
               at a much higher daily lease rate. The customer is willing to pay
               the  higher  daily  rate  for  the  convenience  and  value-added
               features  provided by the rental car company,  the most important
               of  which  is the  ability  to pick up the car  where  it is most
               convenient,  use it for the desired period of time, and then drop
               it off at a  location  convenient  to the  customer.  Rental  car
               companies  compete  with one another on the basis of lease rates,
               availability  of cars, and the provision of additional  services.
               They generate revenues by maintaining the highest lease rates and
               the  highest  utilization  factors  that market  conditions  will
               allow,  and by augmenting this income with proceeds from sales of
               insurance,  drop-off  fees,  and other special  charges.  A large
               percentage of lease revenues  earned by car rental  companies are
               generated under corporate rate agreements  wherein,  for a stated
               period of time, employees of a participating corporation can rent
               cars at specific terms, conditions and rental rates.

               Container  leasing  companies  and the  Registrant  operate  in a
               similar  manner  by  owning  a  worldwide  fleet  of new and used
               transportation   containers  and  leasing  these   containers  to
               international  shipping  companies hauling various types of goods
               among numerous trade routes.  All lessees pay a daily rental rate
               and in certain  markets  may pay  special  handling  fees  and/or
               drop-off charges.  In addition to these fees and harges, a lessee
               must either provide  physical  damage and liability  insurance or
               purchase a damage waiver from the  Registrant,  in which case the
               Registrant  agrees to pay the cost of repairing  certain physical
               damage to containers.  Container  leasing  companies compete with
               one another on the basis of lease rates,  fees charged,  services
               provided   and   availability   of   equipment.   To  ensure  the
               availability  of equipment to its  customers,  container  leasing
               companies and the  Registrant  may pay to  reposition  containers
               from  low  demand  locations  to  higher  demand  locations.   By
               maintaining  the highest  lease  rates and the highest  equipment
               utilization factors allowed by market conditions,  the Registrant
               attempts to generate revenue and profit.

               The majority of the Registrant's equipment is leased under master
               leases,  which are  comparable to the corporate  rate  agreements
               used by rental car companies.  The master leases provide that the
               lessee,  for a specified  period of time, may rent  containers at
               specific terms,  conditions and rental rates.  Although the terms
               of the master lease  governing each container  under lease do not
               vary,  the number of containers in use can vary from time to time
               within the term of the master lease.  The terms and conditions of
               the master lease provide that the lessee pays a daily rental rate
               for the entire time the container is in his  possession  (whether
               or not he is actively using it), is  responsible  for any damage,
               and must insure the container  against  liabilities.  Some of the
               Partnership's   equipment   is  leased  under   long-term   lease
               agreements.  Unlike  master  lease  agreements,  long-term  lease
               agreements  provide  for  containers  to be leased 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.  Direct  finance
               leases currently cover a minority of the Partnership's equipment.
               For a more detailed discussion of the leases for the Registrant's
               equipment,   see  "Leasing   Policy"   under   "Business  of  the
               Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented.  The
               Registrant also sells containers in the course of its business as
               opportunities arise, at the end of the container's useful life or
               if market and economic considerations indicated that a sale would
               be   beneficial.   See  Item  7  herein  and   "Business  of  the
               Partnership" in Registrant's Prospectus, as supplemented.

(c)(1)(vi)     Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(vii)    No  single  lessee  generated  lease  revenue for the years ended
               December 31, 2001, 2000  and 1999  which  was 10% or  more of the
               total revenue of the Registrant.

(c)(1)(viii)   Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(ix)     Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(x)      There are  approximately 80 container leasing companies of  which
               the  top   ten   control    approximately  88%  of    the   total
               equipment held by all container  leasing  companies.  The top two
               container leasing companies combined control approximately 31% of
               the total  equipment  held by all  container  leasing  companies.
               Textainer  Equipment  Management  Limited,  an Associate  General
               Partner of the Registrant and the manager of its marine container
               equipment,  is the third largest  container  leasing  company and
               manages  approximately 13% of the equipment held by all container
               leasing  companies.  The  customers  for  leased  containers  are
               primarily  international  shipping lines. The Registrant alone is
               not a material  participant  in the worldwide  container  leasing
               market.   The  principal   methods  of  competition   are  price,
               availability  and  the  provision  of  worldwide  service  to the
               international  shipping  community.  Competition in the container
               leasing market has increased over the past few years. Since 1996,
               shipping  alliances and other  operational  consolidations  among
               shipping  lines have allowed  shipping  lines to begin  operating
               with fewer containers,  thereby  decreasing the demand for leased
               containers and allowing  lessees to gain concessions from lessors
               about price,  special charges or credits and, in certain markets,
               the age  specification  of the  containers  rented.  Furthermore,
               primarily  as a result  of lower  new  container  prices  and low
               interest  rates,  shipping  lines now own,  rather than lease,  a
               higher  percentage  of  containers.  The  decrease in demand from
               shipping  lines,  along  with the  entry of new  leasing  company
               competitors  offering low container  rental rates,  has increased
               competition among container lessors such as the Registrant.

(c)(1)(xi)     Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(xii)    Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(xiii)   The  Registrant  has  no employees. Textainer  Financial Services
               Corporation   (TFS),  a   wholly  owned  subsidiary  of Textainer
               Capital   Corporation   (TCC),  the   Managing   General  Partner
               of the Registrant,  is responsible for the overall  management of
               the  business of the  Registrant  and at December  31, 2001 had 4
               employees.  Textainer  Equipment  Management  Limited  (TEM),  an
               Associate  General Partner,  is responsible for the management of
               the leasing operations of the Registrant and at December 31, 2001
               had a total of 157 employees.

(d)            Financial   Information  about  Foreign  and Domestic  Operations
               and ExportSales.

               The Registrant is involved in the leasing of shipping  containers
               to  international  shipping  companies for use in world trade and
               approximately 12%, 14% and 15% of the Registrant's rental revenue
               during  the  years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000  and  1999,
               respectively,  was derived from operations  sourced or terminated
               domestically.  These percentages do not reflect the proportion of
               the Partnership's income from operations  generated  domestically
               or in domestic waterways.  Substantially all of the Partnership's
               income from operations is derived from assets employed in foreign
               operations. See "Business of the Partnership" in the Registrant's
               Prospectus, as supplemented, and for a discussion of the risks of
               leasing  containers for use in world trade, see "Risk Factors and
               Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 7 herein.

ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2001, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:

         20-foot standard dry freight containers                          11,208
         40-foot standard dry freight containers                          13,458
         40-foot high cube dry freight containers                          6,745
                                                                          ------
                                                                          31,411
                                                                          ======

During  December 2001,  approximately  53% of these  containers were on lease to
international shipping companies, and the balance were being stored primarily at
a large  number of storage  depots  located  worldwide.  The  Partnership  sells
containers  when (i) a  container  reaches the end of its useful life or (ii) an
analysis  indicates  that  the  sale  is  warranted  based  on  existing  market
conditions and the  container's  age,  location and  condition.  At December 31,
2001,  approximately  6% of  the  Partnership's  off-lease  equipment  had  been
identified as being for sale.

For  information  about  the  Registrant's   property,   see  "Business  of  the
Partnership" and "Risk Factors" in the Registrant's Prospectus, as supplemented.

            MATTERS

ITEM 201:
(a)    Market Information.

(a)(1)(i)      The  Registrant's  limited  partnership  Units  are not  publicly
               traded  and  there  is  no   established   trading    market  for
               such Units. The Registrant has a program whereby limited partners
               may redeem Units for a specified  redemption  price.  The program
               operates only when the Managing General Partner determines, among
               other  matters,  that payment for redeemed  units will not impair
               the capital or operations of the Registrant.

(b)(2)         Inapplicable.

(c)      Dividends.

                Inapplicable.

At December 31, 2001 the  Registrant was paying  distributions  at an annualized
rate  equal to 5% of a Unit's  initial  cost,  or $1.00 per Unit per  year.  For
information  about the amount of distributions  paid during the five most recent
fiscal years,  see Item 6, "Selected  Financial  Data."  Distributions  are made
monthly by the Registrant to its limited partners.

ITEM 7. 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 years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999.  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  May 1,  1992  until  April  30,  1994,  the  Partnership  offered  limited
partnership  interests  to the  public.  The  Partnership  received  its minimum
subscription  amount  of  $5,000  on June 11,  1992 and on  April  30,  1994 the
Partnership had received a total subscription amount of $136,918.

The Partnership invests working capital,  cash flow from operations prior to its
distribution  to the partners and proceeds  from  container  sales that have not
been used to purchase  containers  in  short-term,  liquid  investments.  Rental
income is the  Partnership's  principal source of liquidity and provides a major
source of funds for distributions.  Rental income has been adversely affected by
current market conditions for leased containers, and these market conditions may
continue or worsen.  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.

Limited partners are currently receiving monthly  distributions in an annualized
amount equal to 5% of their original investment.  During the year ended December
31, 2001,  the  Partnership  declared  cash  distributions  to limited  partners
pertaining to the period from December 2000 through November 2001, in the amount
of $8,290. On a cash basis,  $6,967 of these distributions was from current year
operating activities and the remainder was from cash provided by previous years'
operations  that had not been  distributed  or used to  purchase  containers  or
redeem units. On a financial  statement basis, all of these distributions were 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 year ended  December 31,  2001,  the
Partnership  redeemed  28,162  units  for a total  dollar  amount  of $234.  The
Partnership used cash flow from operations to pay for the redeemed units.

At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.

Net cash provided by operating  activities for the years ended December 31, 2001
and 2000 was $7,288 and $10,964,  respectively.  The decrease of $3,676, or 34%,
was primarily attributable to the decrease in net earnings (loss),  adjusted for
non-cash   transactions   and  fluctuations  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued
liabilities and gross accounts receivable.  The decrease was partially offset by
the fluctuations in due from affiliates,  net. Net earnings (loss), adjusted for
non-cash transactions,  decreased primarily due to the decrease in rental income
and increase in direct container expenses. These fluctuations are discussed more
fully in "Results  of  Operations".  The  fluctuation  in  accounts  payable and
accrued liabilities  resulted from timing differences in the payment of expenses
and  fees as well as  fluctuations  in  these  amounts.  The  decrease  in gross
accounts  receivable  of $816  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2001 was
primarily due to the decrease in rental  income.  The decrease in gross accounts
receivable of $1,047 during the  comparable  period in 2000 was primarily due to
the  decrease  in the average  collection  period of  accounts  receivable.  The
fluctuations in due from affiliates,  net,  resulted from timing  differences in
payment of expenses,  fees and  distributions  and the  remittance of net rental
revenues and sales proceeds, as well as fluctuations in these amounts.

For the year ended December 31, 2001, net cash provided by investing  activities
(the  purchase  and sale of  containers)  was $22  compared  to net cash used in
investing  activities of $403 for the comparable period in 2000. The fluctuation
of $425 was due to the decrease in cash used for container purchases,  partially
offset by the decrease in proceeds from container sales. Cash used for container
purchases  decreased  due  to the  Partnership  purchasing  substantially  fewer
containers at a lower average cost, offset by timing  differences in the accrual
and payment of these  purchases.  The  Partnership  sold more  containers in low
demand locations during the year ended December 31, 2001 than in the same period
in 2000, but a decrease in the average sales price and timing differences in the
accrual and receipt of these proceeds resulted in the decrease in total proceeds
from container sales between the periods. The sales prices received on container
sales continued to decrease as a result of current market conditions, which have
adversely affected the value of used containers. Until market conditions improve
in certain low demand locations,  the Partnership plans to continue selling some
of its  containers  that  are  off-lease  in  these  locations.  The  number  of
containers  sold,  both in low demand  locations and  elsewhere,  as well as the
average sales price,  will affect how much the  Partnership  can reinvest in new
containers.

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

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

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income  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
years ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999, as well as certain other factors
as discussed below. The following is a summary of the container fleet (in units)
available for lease during those periods:

                                                    2001        2000        1999
                                                    ----        ----        ----

     Beginning container fleet...............     33,062      32,876      34,661
     Ending container fleet..................     31,411      33,062      32,876
     Average container fleet.................     32,237      32,969      33,769

The average  container fleet decreased 2% from the years ended December 31, 2000
to 2001 and December  31, 1999 to 2000,  primarily  due to sales of  containers.
Although,  sales  proceeds were used to purchase  additional  containers,  fewer
containers  were bought than sold as used container sales prices were lower than
new container prices.  The  Partnership's  primary source of funds for container
purchases is these sales proceeds. The rate of decline in average fleet size may
fluctuate due to timing  differences  in the purchase and sale of containers and
fluctuations in container sale and purchase prices during each period.

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

Rental income and direct container expenses are also affected by the utilization
of the container  fleet,  which was 60%, 77% and 71% on average during the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The remaining  container
fleet is off-lease  and is being  stored  primarily at a large number of storage
depots. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's  off-lease containers (in units)
were located in the following locations:

         America                                3,296
         Europe                                 2,070
         Asia                                   8,783
                                               ------

         Total off-lease containers            14,149
                                               ======

At December 31, 2001 approximately 6% 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,
which have decreased slightly between the periods.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

The  Partnership's  (loss) income from  operations for the years ending December
31, 2001 and 2000 was ($2,124)  and $2,961,  respectively,  on rental  income of
$13,693 and $17,525,  respectively.  The decrease in rental income of $3,832, or
22%, from the year ended December 31, 2000, to the comparable period in 2001 was
attributable to a decrease in container rental income,  offset by an increase in
other rental income,  which is discussed below.  Income from container  rentals,
the major component of total revenue, decreased $3,996, or 25%, primarily due to
the decreases in average on-hire utilization of 22%, average rental rates of 3%,
and average  container  fleet of 2%. The  majority of the  Partnership's  rental
income was generated from leasing of the  Partnership's  containers under master
operating leases.

The  Partnership's  income from operations for the years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999 was  $2,961 and $434  respectively,  on rental  income of  $17,525  and
$17,256,  respectively.  The increase in rental  income of $269, or 2%, from the
year ended December 31, 1999, to the comparable  period in 2000 was attributable
to an increase in container rental income,  offset by a decrease in other rental
income.  Income from container  rentals  increased $620, or 4%, primarily due to
the increase in average  on-hire  utilization  of 8%, offset by the decreases in
average rental rates of 3%, and the average container fleet of 2%.

In the fourth  quarter of 2000,  utilization  began to decline and  continued to
decline  during 2001 and into the  beginning  of 2002.  This  decline was due to
lower overall demand by shipping lines for leased containers, which is primarily
a result of the  worldwide  economic  slowdown.  Two other factors are currently
reducing  the demand for leased  containers.  Shipping  lines have added  larger
vessels to their fleets, which combined with lower cargo volume growth, has made
it easier for them to use otherwise  empty vessel space to reposition  their own
containers back to high demand locations.  Additionally,  in anticipation of the
delivery of these new, larger  vessels,  many shipping lines placed large orders
for new  containers in 2000 and 2001,  thus  temporarily  reducing their need to
lease containers.  These orders for additional  containers are part of a general
increase in vessel  capacity for the  shipping  lines.  This  increase in vessel
capacity  amounted to 12% in 2001. An additional  increase in vessel capacity of
approximately 12% is expected in 2002,  because the shipping lines placed orders
for  additional  ships before  recognizing  the slowdown in world trade.  To the
extent that this increased vessel capacity remains underutilized, shipping lines
may seek to cut costs in order to sustain  profits or reduce  losses,  which may
put further downward pressure on demand for containers.

As a result of the lower  demand,  the trade  imbalance  between  Asia and North
America and Asia and Europe has eased slightly.  Combined with the excess vessel
capacity,  these  factors  have made it easier,  although not  necessarily  less
expensive,  to reposition  containers.  During the year ended December 31, 2001,
the  Partnership  was  able to  reposition  newer  containers  from  low  demand
locations in North America and Europe to historically higher demand locations in
Asia. As a consequence,  the build-up of containers in North America and Europe,
which persisted over the past several years, has eased slightly.  For the number
of off-lease  containers  located in the lower  demand  locations of America and
Europe, see chart above.

Nevertheless,  the Partnership  continues to sell (rather than  reposition) some
containers  located in low demand locations.  The decision to sell containers is
based on the current  expectation  that the  economic  benefit of selling  these
containers is greater than the estimated  economic  benefit of continuing to own
these  containers.  The  majority of the  containers  sold during the year ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 were older containers.  The expected economic benefit
of continuing to own these containers was significantly  less than that of newer
containers.  This was due to their shorter  remaining  marine life,  the cost to
reposition them and the shipping lines'  preference for leasing newer containers
when they have a choice.

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

Despite  the  decline in demand for leased  containers  discussed  above and the
decline in new container  purchase prices,  rental rates were comparable  during
these periods. Until such time as the worldwide economies improve,  particularly
those of the United States and Europe,  and cargo volumes  increase to the point
where this year's 12% increase in worldwide  vessel capacity is absorbed,  there
may be no significant improvements in utilization or rental rates.

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

Other rental income consists of other lease-related items, primarily income from
charges to lessees for dropping off containers in surplus locations less credits
granted to lessees for  leasing  containers  from  surplus  locations  (location
income),  income  from  charges to lessees for  handling  related to leasing and
returning  containers (handling income) and income from charges to lessees for a
Damage Protection Plan (DPP). For the year ended December 31, 2001, other rental
income was $1,898,  an increase of $164 from the equivalent  period in 2000. The
increase was primarily due to the increase in location income of $311, offset by
the  decease in handling  income of $132.  The  increase in location  income was
primarily  due to (i) the  decline in credits  granted to lessees for picking up
containers from surplus  locations as there were fewer  lease-out  opportunities
for which  credits  could be offered and (ii) the increase in charges to lessees
for dropping containers in certain locations. The decline in handling income was
primarily due to the decline in container movement,  and was partially offset by
the increase in the average handling charge per container.

For the year ended December 31, 2000, other rental income was $1,734, a decrease
of $351 from the  equivalent  period in 1999.  The decrease was primarily due to
decreases  in  location,  DPP and  handling  income  of  $167,  $123,  and  $60,
respectively. The decline in location income was due to a decrease in charges to
lessees for dropping off containers in certain  locations,  offset by a decrease
in credits granted to lessees for picking up containers from surplus  locations.
The  decline in DPP income was  primarily  due to a decrease  in the average DPP
price  charged per  container.  Handling  income  declined  primarily due to the
decline in container movement.

Direct  container  expenses  increased $613, or 13% from the year ended December
31,  2000,  to the same period in 2001.  The increase  was  primarily  due to an
increase in storage expense of $1,250,  offset by decreases in repositioning and
handling expenses of $428 and $123, respectively.  Storage expense increased due
to the decline in average  utilization  noted above and a higher average storage
cost per  container.  Repositioning  expense  decreased due to a decrease in the
number  of  containers  repositioned,  and a  decrease  in the  average  cost to
reposition  containers.  Handling  expense  decreased  due  to the  decrease  in
container movement and a decrease in the average handling cost per container.

Direct  container  expenses  decreased $855, or 15% from the year ended December
31, 1999, to the same period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to declines
in storage,  DPP and  handling  expenses of $691,  $445 and $114,  offset by the
increase in repositioning  expense of $469.  Storage expense declined due to the
improvement in utilization and a lower average  storage cost per container.  DPP
expense  declined  due to a decrease in the average  repair cost per  container.
Handling expense decreased due to the decrease in container movement and a lower
average handling cost per container.  The increase in repositioning  expense was
due to the  increase in the average cost to  reposition  a container  due to the
high demand for limited vessel capacity, offset by the decrease in the number of
containers repositioned.

Bad debt  (benefit)  expense  was  ($25),  ($120)  and $364 for the years  ended
December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The  fluctuations in bad debt
benefit/expense  reflect the required adjustment to the bad debt 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 benefits recorded during the years
ended  December 31, 2001 and 2000 reflect  lower reserve  requirements  from the
previous year and the expense  recorded  during the year ended December 31, 1999
reflects a greater reserve requirement from the previous year.

Depreciation  expense  decreased  $115,  or 2%, and $256,  or 4%, from the years
ended  December 31, 2000 to 2001,  and December 31, 1999 to 2000,  respectively.
These decreases were primarily due to the declines in the average fleet size.

New  container  prices  steadily  declined  from  1995  through  1999.  Although
container  prices  increased in 2000,  these prices declined again in 2001. As a
result,  the cost of new containers  purchased in recent years is  significantly
less  than  the  average  cost of  containers  purchased  in  prior  years.  The
Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability  of the recorded  amount of container
rental  equipment  at December 31, 2001 and 2000 for  containers  to be held for
continued  use and  determined  that a reduction to the carrying  value of these
containers was not required.  The Partnership also evaluated the  recoverability
of the recorded amount of containers  identified for sale in the ordinary course
of business  and  determined  that a reduction  to the  carrying  value of these
containers  was  required.  The  Partnership  wrote  down  the  value  of  these
containers to their estimated fair value, which was based on recent sales prices
less cost to sell.  During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the
Partnership  recorded write-down expenses of $954, $249 and $475,  respectively,
on 1,284, 344 and 746 containers identified as for sale and requiring a reserve.
At December 31, 2001 and 2000,  the net book value of the 841 and 145 containers
identified as for sale was $1,416 and $259, respectively.

The Partnership sold 612 of these previously  written down containers for a loss
of $39 during the year ended December 31, 2001, and sold 320 previously  written
down containers for a loss of $9 during the same period in 2000. During the year
ended  December 31, 1999, the  Partnership  sold 1,499  previously  written down
containers for a loss of $193. The  Partnership  incurred  losses on the sale of
some containers  previously  written down as the actual sales prices received on
these  containers  were  lower  than the  estimates  used  for the  write-downs,
primarily due to unexpected declines in container prices.

The Partnership also sold containers that had not been written down and recorded
losses of $466, $80 and $204 during the years ended December 31, 2001,  2000 and
1999, respectively.

As more  containers are  subsequently  identified 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  amount of  container  rental
equipment and cautions that a write-down of container rental equipment and/or an
increase in its depreciation  rate may be required in future periods for some or
all of its container rental equipment.

Management  fees to  affiliates  decreased  $312 or 19% and $71 or 4%,  from the
years  ended  December  31,  2000  to  2001  and  December  31,  1999  to  2000,
respectively.  The  decreases  were  due to  decreases  in  both  equipment  and
incentive  management  fees.  Equipment  management  fees  decreased  due to the
decrease 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,  which are based on the  Partnership's  limited and
general  partner  distributions  made from cash from  operations  and  partners'
capital decreased $59 and $73 from the years ended December 31, 2000 to 2001 and
December  31,  1999 to  2000,  respectively.  These  decreases  were  due to (i)
decreases  in the limited  partner  distributions  percentages  from 9% to 8% of
initial  partners'  capital  in July 1999,  from 8% to 7% of  initial  partners'
capital in October 1999 and from 7% to 5% of initial  partners'  capital in July
2001 and (ii)  decreases  in  partners'  capital due to  redemptions  of limited
partners units during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

General and administrative  costs to affiliates decreased $147 or 17% and $43 or
5%,  from the  years  ended  December 31, 2000 to 2001, and December 31, 1999 to
2000, respectively.  These  decreases  were  primarily  due to a decrease in the
allocation of overhead costs from TEM, as the  Partnership represented a smaller
portion of the total fleet managed by TEM.

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.

Loss on sale of containers  increased $416 from the year ended December 31, 2000
to the  comparable  period  in  2001.  The  increase  was  primarily  due to the
Partnership  selling more  containers  at lower  average sales prices during the
year ended December 31, 2001 than the comparable period in 2000.

Loss on sale of containers  decreased  from $397 during the year ended  December
31, 1999 to $89 for the  comparable  period in 2000.  The decrease was primarily
due to the  Partnership  selling fewer  containers at a slightly  higher average
sales price during the year ended  December  31,  2000,  than the same period in
1999.  The decline in the number of container  sold was  primarily  due to there
being fewer lower demand locations and fewer containers in these locations,  the
latter resulting primarily from previous sales efforts.

Net earnings per limited  partnership unit decreased from earnings of $0.45 to a
loss of $0.32 for the years  ended  December  31,  2000 and 2001,  respectively,
reflecting  the decrease in net  earnings  allocated  to limited  partners  from
earnings of $3,082 to a loss of $2,119  respectively.  Net  earnings per limited
partnership  unit increased from $0.07 to $0.45 from the year ended December 31,
1999 to 2000, respectively, reflecting the increase in net earnings allocated to
limited  partners  from $447 to  $3,082,  respectively.  The  allocation  of net
earnings  for the years  ended  December  31,  2001,  2000 and 1999,  included a
special allocation of gross income of $107, $68 and $114,  respectively,  to the
General Partners 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 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.  If
these  estimates  were  subsequently  revised based on permanent  changes in the
container leasing market, the Partnership would revise its depreciation  policy,
which could adversely affect the Partnership's operating results.

Additionally,  the  recoverability  of the  recorded  amounts of  containers  is
evaluated to ensure that the recorded  amount does not exceed the estimated fair
value of the  containers.  If it is determined  that the recorded amount exceeds
the  estimated  fair  value,  the  Partnership  writes  down the  value of those
containers.  In  determining  the  estimated  fair value,  assumptions  are made
regarding future demand and market  conditions for leased  containers as well as
for used 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.  Any additional  write-downs  would adversely affect the Partnership's
operating results.

Accounting Pronouncement

In August 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or
Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets".   SFAS  No.  144  supercedes  SFAS  No.  121,
"Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of", and
elements of Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion 30,  "Reporting the Results of
Operations  - Reporting  the Effects on Disposal of a Segment of a Business  and
Extraordinary, Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions."

SFAS No. 144 establishes a  single-accounting  model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of while  maintaining  many of the  provisions  relating to  impairment
testing and  valuation.  The Statement  will be effective on January 1, 2002 and
the  Partnership  is currently  assessing  the impact  adoption will have on the
financial condition and operating results of the Partnership.

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  therefor,
alterations in the costs of maintaining and repairing used containers, increases
in competition,  changes in the Partnership's  ability to maintain insurance for
its  containers  and its  operations,  the effects of  political  conditions  on
worldwide  shipping and demand for global trade or of other general business and
economic cycles on the  Partnership,  as well as other risks detailed herein and
from time to time in the Partnership's  filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The  Partnership  does  not  undertake  any  obligation  to  update
forward-looking statements.

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

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999
(Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Nature of Operations

     Textainer  Equipment Income Fund IV, L.P. (TEIF IV or the  Partnership),  a
     California limited partnership, with a maximum life of 20 years, was formed
     on October 30, 1991. The  Partnership  was formed to engage in the business
     of owning,  leasing and selling both new and used equipment  related to the
     international  containerized  cargo shipping industry,  including,  but not
     limited to,  containers,  trailers and other  container-related  equipment.
     TEIF IV offered units representing limited partnership interests (Units) to
     the public until April 30, 1994, the close of the offering  period,  when a
     total of 6,845,903 Units had been purchased for a total of $136,918.

     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.

     (b) Basis of Accounting

     The  Partnership  utilizes  the accrual  method of  accounting.  Revenue is
     recorded  when  earned  according  to the  terms  of the  container  rental
     contracts.  These  contracts are  classified as operating  leases or direct
     finance leases if they so qualify under  Statement of Financial  Accounting
     Standards No. 13: "Accounting for Leases".

     (c) Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     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.  If  these  estimates  were  subsequently  revised  based  on
     permanent  changes in the container  leasing market,  the Partnership would
     revise its depreciation policy.

     Additionally,  the  recoverability of the recorded amounts of containers is
     evaluated to ensure that the recorded  amount does not exceed the estimated
     fair value of the containers.  If it is determined that the recorded amount
     exceeds the estimated fair value, the Partnership  writes down the value of
     those containers.  In determining the estimated fair value, assumptions are
     made regarding future demand and market conditions for leased containers as
     well as for used  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.

     (d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     In accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 107,
     "Disclosures  about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments,"  the Partnership
     calculates  the fair  value of  financial  instruments  and  includes  this
     additional  information in the notes to the financial  statements  when the
     fair value is different than the book value of those financial instruments.
     At  December  31,  2001  and  2000,  the fair  value  of the  Partnership's
     financial  instruments (cash,  accounts receivable and current liabilities)
     approximates the related book value of such instruments.

     (e) Container Rental Equipment

     Container rental equipment is recorded at the cost of the assets purchased,
     which includes  acquisition  fees, less accumulated  depreciation  charged.
     Depreciation of new containers is computed using the  straight-line  method
     over an  estimated  useful  life of 12 years to a 28% salvage  value.  Used
     containers are depreciated based upon their estimated remaining useful life
     at the date of acquisition (from 2 to 11 years). When assets are retired or
     otherwise  disposed of, the cost and related  accumulated  depreciation are
     removed  from the  equipment  accounts  and any  resulting  gain or loss is
     recognized in income for the period.

     In accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,
     "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived  Assets
     to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), the  Partnership  periodically  compares the
     carrying  value of the  containers  to  expected  future cash flows for the
     purpose of assessing the  recoverability  of the recorded  amounts.  If the
     carrying value exceeds  expected future cash flows,  the assets are written
     down to  estimated  fair value.  In  addition,  containers  identified  for
     disposal  are  recorded at the lower of carrying  amount or fair value less
     cost to sell.

     New container  prices  steadily  declined from 1995 through 1999.  Although
     container prices increased in 2000, these prices declined again in 2001. As
     a  result,  the  cost  of new  containers  purchased  in  recent  years  is
     significantly  less than the average cost of containers  purchased in prior
     years. The Partnership  evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount
     of container  rental equipment at December 31, 2001 and 2000 for containers
     to be  held  for  continued  use and  determined  that a  reduction  to the
     carrying value of these  containers was not required.  The Partnership also
     evaluated  the   recoverability   of  the  recorded  amount  of  containers
     identified for sale in the ordinary  course of business and determined that
     a reduction to the carrying  value of these  containers  was required.  The
     Partnership  wrote down the value of these  containers  to their  estimated
     fair  value,  which was based on recent  sales  prices  less cost of sales.
     During the years ended December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership
     recorded  write-down  expenses  of $954,  $249 and $475,  respectively,  on
     1,284,  344 and 746  containers  identified  as for  sale and  requiring  a
     reserve.  At December 31, 2001 and 2000,  the net book value of the 841 and
     145 containers identified as for sale was $1,416 and $259, respectively.

     The Partnership sold 612 of these previously  written down containers for a
     loss of $39  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2001,  and  sold  320
     previously  written down containers for a loss of $9 during the same period
     in 2000.  During the year ended  December 31, 1999,  the  Partnership  sold
     1,499  previously   written  down  containers  for  a  loss  of  $193.  The
     Partnership  incurred  losses  on the  sale of some  containers  previously
     written down as the actual sales prices  received on these  containers were
     lower  than  the  estimates  used  for the  write-downs,  primarily  due to
     unexpected declines in container prices.

     The  Partnership  also sold  containers  that had not been written down and
     recorded  losses of $466,  $80 and $204 during the years ended December 31,
     2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

     If more  containers  are  subsequently  identified 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  and cautions  that a write-down of
     container rental equipment and/or an increase in its depreciation  rate may
     be  required  in future  periods  for some or all of its  container  rental
     equipment.

     In August 2001, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement
     of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  144,  "Accounting  for
     Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".  SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS
     No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
     of", and elements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, "Reporting the
     Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects on Disposal of a Segment of a
     Business and  Extraordinary,  Unusual or Infrequently  Occurring Events and
     Transactions."

     SFAS No. 144 establishes a single-accounting model for long-lived assets to
     be  disposed  of  while  maintaining  many of the  provisions  relating  to
     impairment  testing and  valuation.  The  Statement  will be  effective  on
     January  1, 2002 and the  Partnership  is  currently  assessing  the impact
     adoption will have on the financial  condition and operating results of the
     Partnership.

     (f) Nature of Income from Operations

     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 that 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 rather
     than the  geographic  location  of the  containers  or the  domicile of the
     lessees.

     No single lessee accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's  revenues
     for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999.

     (g)  Allocation of Net Earnings (Loss) and Partnership Distributions

     In accordance with the Partnership  Agreement,  sections 3.08 through 3.12,
     net earnings or losses and distributions are generally  allocated 1% to the
     General  Partners and 99% to the Limited  Partners.  If the  allocation  of
     distributions  exceeds the allocation of net earnings and creates a deficit
     in a General Partner's capital account, the Partnership  Agreement provides
     for a special allocation of gross income equal to the amount of the deficit
     to be made to the General Partners.

     Actual cash distributions to the Limited Partners differ from the allocated
     net earnings  (losses) as presented in these financial  statements  because
     cash  distributions  are based on cash  available  for  distribution.  Cash
     distributions  are paid to the general  and  limited  partners on a monthly
     basis in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement.  Some
     limited partners have elected to have their  distributions  paid quarterly.
     The  Partnership  has recorded  deferred  distributions  of $81 and $121 at
     December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

     (h) Income Taxes

     The Partnership is not subject to income taxes.  Accordingly,  no provision
     for income taxes has been made.  The  Partnership  files  federal and state
     information  returns  only.  Taxable  income or loss is  reportable  by the
     individual partners.

     (i) Acquisition Fees

     In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, acquisition  fees equal to 5%
     of   the  container   purchase price  were  paid to TEM.   These   fees are
     capitalized as part of the cost of the containers.

     (j) Recovery Costs

     The  Partnership  accrues an  estimate  for  recovery  costs as a result of
     defaults under its leases that it expects to incur,  which are in excess of
     estimated  insurance  proceeds.  At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the amounts
     accrued were $226 and $219, respectively.

     (k) Damage Protection Plan

     The  Partnership  offers a Damage  Protection  Plan (DPP) to lessees of its
     containers.  Under  the  terms of DPP,  the  Partnership  earns  additional
     revenues on a daily basis and, in return, has agreed to bear certain repair
     costs. It is the Partnership's  policy to recognize revenue when earned and
     provide a reserve  sufficient to cover the  estimated  future repair costs.
     DPP expenses are included in direct container expenses in the Statements of
     Operations and the related  reserve at December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $199
     and $366, respectively.

     (l) Warranty Claims

     During 1996 and 1995, the Partnership  settled  warranty claims against two
     container  manufacturers.  The  Partnership  is amortizing  the  settlement
     amounts  over  the  remaining  estimated  useful  lives  of the  applicable
     containers  (ten years),  reducing  maintenance  and repair costs over that
     time.  At  December  31,  2001 and 2000,  the  unamortized  portion  of the
     settlement amount was $293 and $354, respectively.

     (m) Limited Partners' Per Unit Share of Net Earnings and Distributions

     Limited  partners'  per unit share of both net earnings  and  distributions
     were computed using the weighted average number of units outstanding during
     the years ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  which were  6,718,741,
     6,775,430, and 6,793,790, respectively.

     (n) Redemptions

Note 2.  Transactions with Affiliates

     As part of the operation of the  Partnership,  the Partnership is to pay to
     the General  Partners an acquisition  fee, an equipment  management fee, an
     incentive  management fee and an equipment  liquidation fee. These fees are
     for various  services  provided in connection with the  administration  and
     management of the Partnership.  The Partnership  capitalized $29, $157, and
     $73 of container  acquisition  fees as part of container  rental  equipment
     costs  during  the  years  ended   December   31,  2001,   2000  and  1999,
     respectively.  The Partnership  incurred $340,  $399, and $472 of incentive
     management  fees during each of the three years ended  December  31,  2001,
     2000 and 1999,  respectively.  No equipment  liquidation fees were incurred
     during these periods.

     The  Partnership's  containers  are managed by TEM. In its role as manager,
     TEM has authority to acquire,  hold, manage, lease, sell and dispose of the
     containers.  TEM holds,  for the payment of direct  operating  expenses,  a
     reserve of cash that has been collected from leasing operations;  such cash
     is included in due from affiliates, net, at December 31, 2001 and 2000.

     Subject to certain reductions,  TEM receives a monthly equipment management
     fee equal to 7% of gross lease revenues  attributable  to master  operating
     leases  and 2% of gross  lease  revenues  attributable  to full  payout net
     leases.  For the years ended  December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  equipment
     management fees totaled $955, $1,208, and $1,206, 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 were as follows:

     TEM allocates these general and administrative  costs based on the ratio of
     the Partnership's interest in the managed containers to the total container
     fleet managed by TEM during the period.  TFS allocates these costs based on
     the ratio of the  Partnership's  containers to the total container fleet of
     all limited partnerships managed by TFS. The General Partners allocated the
     following general and administrative costs to the Partnership:

     The  General  Partners  may acquire  containers  in their own name and hold
     title on a temporary basis for the purpose of facilitating  the acquisition
     of such containers for the  Partnership.  The containers may then be resold
     to the  Partnership  on an  all-cash  basis at a price  equal to the actual
     cost, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. One or more General Partners
     may also arrange for the purchase of containers in its or their names,  and
     the  Partnership may then take title to the containers by paying the seller
     directly. In addition,  the General Partners are entitled to an acquisition
     fee  for  containers  acquired  by  the  Partnership  under  any  of  these
     arrangements.

     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 or in the accrual and remittance of
     net rental revenues and container sales proceeds from TEM.


Note 3.  Lease Rental Income (unaudited)

     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 December 31, 2001 and 2000:

                                                  2001                     2000
                                                  ----                     ----

         On-lease under master leases           12,021                   19,735
         On-lease under long-term leases         5,241                    4,782
                                                ------                   ------

         Total on-lease containers              17,262                   24,517
                                                ======                   ======

     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 in the following locations:

         America                               3,296
         Europe                                2,070
         Asia                                  8,783
                                              ------

         Total off-lease containers           14,149
                                              ======

     At  December  31,  2001  approximately  6% of the  Partnership's  off-lease
     containers had been specifically identified as for sale.


Note 4.       Income Taxes

     At December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  there were temporary  differences of
     $47,769,  $55,481,  and  $60,487,   respectively,   between  the  financial
     statement  carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and the federal
     income tax basis of such assets and liabilities.  The reconciliation of net
     income  (loss) for financial  statement  purposes to net income for federal
     income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is
     as follows:

                                    PART III

ITEM 10.     DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The Registrant has no officers or directors.

As described in the Prospectus, the Registrant's three original general partners
were TCC, TEM and Textainer Inc. (TI),  which  comprised the original  Textainer
Group.   Effective  October  1,  1993,  the  Textainer  Group  restructured  its
organization by forming a new holding company,  Textainer Group Holdings Limited
(TGH),  and the  shareholders  of the  underlying  companies  which  include the
General  Partners  accepted  shares in TGH in exchange  for their  shares in the
individual  companies.  Textainer  Financial  Services  Corporation (TFS) is the
Managing  General Partner of the Partnership  (prior to its name change on April
4, 1994, TFS was known as Textainer Capital Corporation).  TFS is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Textainer  Capital  Corporation (TCC) (prior to its name change on
April 4, 1994, TCC was known as Textainer (Delaware) Inc.).  Textainer Equipment
Management Limited (TEM) is an Associate General Partner of the Partnership.  TI
was an Associate  General Partner of the Partnership  through September 30, 1993
when it was replaced in that capacity by Textainer Limited (TL), pursuant to the
corporate  restructuring effective October 1, 1993, which caused TFS, TEM and TL
to fall under the common ownership of TGH.  Pursuant to this  restructuring,  TI
transferred  substantially  all of its  assets  including  all of its rights and
duties as Associate  General  Partner to TL. This  transfer was  effective  from
October 1, 1993. The end result was that TFS now serves as the Managing  General
Partner and TEM and TL now serve as the Associate General Partners. The Managing
General Partner and Associate  General Partners are collectively  referred to as
the General  Partners  and are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries  of TGH.  The General
Partners also act in this capacity for other limited partnerships.

TFS,  as  the  Managing  General  Partner,   is  responsible  for  managing  the
administration  and operation of the  Registrant,  and for the  formulation  and
administration of investment policies.

TEM, an Associate  General Partner,  manages all aspects of the operation of the
Registrant's equipment.

TL, an Associate  General  Partner,  owns a fleet of container  rental equipment
which is  managed  by TEM.  TL  provides  advice  to the  Partnership  regarding
negotiations  with financial  institutions,  manufacturers and equipment owners,
and regarding the terms upon which particular items of equipment are acquired.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
--------------------------------------------------------

Section 16(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Partnership's
General Partners,  policy-making officials and persons who beneficially own more
than ten  percent  of the Units to file  reports  of  ownership  and  changes in
ownership with the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Copies of these reports
must also be furnished to the Partnership.

Based  solely  on a  review  of  the  copies  of  such  forms  furnished  to the
Partnership  or on written  representations  that no forms were  required  to be
filed, the Partnership believes that with respect to its most recent fiscal year
ended  December 31, 2001,  all Section 16(a) filing  requirements  were complied
with. No member of management, or beneficial owner owned more than 10 percent of
any  interest in the  Partnership.  None of the  individuals  subject to Section
16(a) failed to file or filed late any reports of transactions in the Units.
