                                     PART I

ITEM 1.      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 (a)      General Development of Business

          The Registrant is a California Limited Partnership ("the 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.

          The Registrant is a finite life entity, with a term ending on December
          31,  2011.  The  Registrant's  business  plan  calls  for it to  begin
          liquidating  its fleet of  containers at some time during or after its
          ninth full year of operations,  calculated  from the end of its public
          offering.  See the discussion  below under  "Narrative  Description of
          Business."

          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 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 transportation
                    containers  and leasing these  containers  to  international
                    shipping lines 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 charges,  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. (This later
                    arrangement  is called the  "Damage  Protection  Plan.") The
                    Registrant,   and  not  the  lessee,   is  responsible   for
                    maintaining  the containers  and repairing  damage caused by
                    normal deterioration of the containers. This maintenance and
                    repair,  as well as any  repairs  required  under the Damage
                    Protection Plan, are performed in depots in major port areas
                    by  independent  agents  retained for the  Registrant by the
                    General  Partners.  These same  agents  handle  and  inspect
                    containers that are picked up or redelivered by lessees, and
                    these agents store  containers  not  immediately  subject to
                    re-lease.

                    Container  leasing companies compete with one another on the
                    basis of lease rates,  fees charged,  services  provided and
                    availability of equipment.  By maintaining the highest lease
                    rates  and the  highest  equipment  utilization  allowed  by
                    market  conditions,  the  Registrant  attempts  to  generate
                    revenue and profit.

                    The majority of the  Registrant's  equipment is leased under
                    master  operating  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
                    the  lessee's  possession  (whether  or not  it is  actively
                    used), is responsible for certain types of damage,  and must
                    insure the container against liabilities.

                    Equipment not subject to master leases may instead be 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.  Another  type of
                    lease, a direct finance lease,  currently  covers a minority
                    of the Partnership's equipment. 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.

                    Leases specify an array of port  locations  where the lessee
                    may pick up or return the containers.  The Registrant incurs
                    expenses in  repositioning  containers to a better  location
                    when  containers  are  returned  to a  location  that has an
                    over-supply.   Sales  of  containers  in  these  low  demand
                    locations   can  occur,   if  a  sale  is  judged  a  better
                    alternative to repositioning and re-leasing the container.

                    The  Registrant  also sells  containers in the course of its
                    business as opportunities arise, at the end of a container's
                    useful life, or if market and economic  conditions  indicate
                    that a sale would be  beneficial.  Sales are generally  made
                    when a  container  comes  off  lease.  Additionally,  when a
                    lessee  loses  or  completely   damages  a  container,   the
                    Registrant is reimbursed by the lessee for the value of that
                    container. See Item 7 herein.

                    The  Registrant  also buys  containers,  primarily  with the
                    proceeds from the sale of containers.  The Registrant  plans
                    to stop buying  containers  after the first quarter of 2004,
                    and begin its  liquidation  phase in  April,  2004.  Regular
                    leasing  operations will continue during this phase, but the
                    Registrant  will  allow  its fleet to  permanently  diminish
                    through sales of  containers.  Once the  Registrant has sold
                    substantially all of its fleet and the liquidation phase has
                    been  completed   (which  may  take  six  years  or  longer,
                    depending on market  conditions),  the Registrant will begin
                    its final dissolution and the winding up of its business.

(c)(1)(vii)         During the year ended  December 31, 2003,  no single  lessee
                    generated  lease  revenue which was 10% or more of the total
                    revenue of the Registrant.

(c)(1)(x)           Among the various container leasing  companies,  the top ten
                    control approximately 86% of the total equipment held by all
                    container leasing  companies.  The top two container leasing
                    companies  combined control  approximately  26% 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 largest  standard  dry freight  container
                    leasing  company  and  manages   approximately  14%  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 leased. 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.

                    Furthermore,  changes in worldwide  demand for shipping have
                    placed  additional  strains on  competition.  Utilization of
                    containers   can  be  maximized  if  containers   that  come
                    off-lease can be re-leased in the same  location.  If demand
                    for containers is strong in some parts of the world and weak
                    in others,  containers  that come  off-lease  may have to be
                    repositioned,  usually at the Registrant's  expense,  before
                    they can be re-leased.  Over the last several years,  demand
                    for goods  brought  into Asia has been lower than demand for
                    goods  brought out of Asia.  This  imbalance has created low
                    demand locations in certain areas of international  shipping
                    routes, where containers coming off-lease after the delivery
                    of goods cannot quickly be re-leased. Shipping lines have an
                    advantage over container  leasing  companies with respect to
                    these low demand  locations,  because the shipping lines can
                    frequently  reposition  their own containers,  while leasing
                    companies  have to find  alternative  ways of  repositioning
                    their containers,  including offering incentives to shipping
                    lines or paying directly for the repositioning.

          The  Registrant  is involved in the leasing of shipping  containers to
          international  shipping lines for use in world trade and approximately
          11%, 7% and 12% of the  Registrant's  rental  revenue during the years
          ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, 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.  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, 2003, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:

          20-foot standard dry freight containers               10,192
          40-foot standard dry freight containers                9,966
          40-foot high cube dry freight containers               6,764
                                                                ------
                                                                26,922

During  December 2003,  approximately  83% of these  containers were on lease to
international  shipping lines,  and the balance were being stored primarily at a
large number of storage depots located  worldwide.  Generally,  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,
2003,  approximately  7% of  the  Partnership's  off-lease  equipment  had  been
identified  as being for sale.  Some  containers  identified  for sale have been
written down, as described below in Item 7, "Results of Operations."

See Item 7, "Results of Operations"  for more  information  about changes in the
size of the Registrant's  container fleet,  container sales and write-downs,  as
well as the location of the Registrant's off-lease containers.

  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, 2003,
2002 and 2001.  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.

Introduction

The  Partnership is a finite-life  entity whose  principal  business is to own a
fleet of  containers  for  lease to the  international  shipping  industry.  The
Partnership's revenues come primarily from the rental income generated by leased
containers  and, to a smaller  extent,  from services  related to rental income,
such as  handling  charges  paid by lessees.  The  Partnership's  revenues  are,
therefore,  dependent  on  demand  for  leased  containers.  Demand  for  leased
containers drives not only the percentage of the  Partnership's  containers that
are on lease (utilization),  but also, to a certain extent, the rental rates the
Partnership  can charge  under its  leases.  When demand  declines,  utilization
falls,  and the  Partnership has fewer  containers on lease,  often earning less
revenue,  and more containers  off-lease  incurring storage expense. In times of
reduced demand,  then, the Partnership has higher expenses and may have to offer
lessees incentives such as free rental periods or credits.  The General Partners
try at all times to take  advantage  of the  opportunities  created by different
levels of demand for leased containers, either by changing services, lease terms
or lease rates offered to customers or by concentrating on different  geographic
markets.

Demand for containers is driven by many factors, including the overall volume of
worldwide  shipping,  the  number  of  containers  manufactured,  the  number of
containers  available  for lease in specific  locations  and the capacity of the
worldwide shipping industry to transport containers on its existing ships. Since
many of the  Partnership's  customers are shipping lines that also own their own
containers, the price and availability of new containers directly affects demand
for leased  containers.  If  shipping  lines have the cash or  financing  to buy
containers and find that alternative  attractive,  demand for leased  containers
will fall.  Current  demand and related  market  conditions  for  containers are
discussed  below  under  "Comparative  Results  of  Operations:  Current  Market
Conditions for Leased Containers."  Competition for shipping lines' business has
increased in recent years due to operational consolidations among shipping lines
and the entry of new leasing  companies  that  compete  with  entities  like the
Partnership. This competition has generally driven down rental rates and allowed
shipping lines to obtain other favorable lease terms.

The  Partnership  also  recognizes  gains  and  losses  from  the  sale  of  its
containers.  Containers  are  generally  sold either at the end of their  useful
life, or when an economic analysis indicates that it would be more profitable to
sell the  container  rather than to continue to own it. An example of the latter
would be when  re-leasing  a container  might be  relatively  expensive,  either
because of  expenses  required  to repair the  container  or to  reposition  the
container to a location where the container could be readily leased.

The sales  price of used  containers  is  affected by supply and demand for used
containers.  The Partnership's  containers are primarily sold to wholesalers who
subsequently  sell  to  buyers  such  as  mini-storage  operators,  construction
companies,  farmers and other non-marine users. Additionally,  if a container is
lost or completely damaged by a lessee,  the Partnership  receives proceeds from
the  lessee  for the  value  of the  container.  The  Partnership  counts  these
transactions  as sales,  as well as the more  traditional  sales to wholesalers.
Generally,  since  1998,  used  container  prices  have  declined,  causing  the
Partnership to realize less from the sale of its used containers. Used container
sales prices appear to have stabilized in 2002 and 2003.

The  Partnership's  operations  and  financial  results are also affected by the
price of new  containers.  The price for new  containers  has fallen since 1995.
This decrease has  significantly  depressed rental rates. This decrease has also
caused the Partnership to evaluate the carrying cost of its container fleet, and
has resulted in write-downs of some  containers the  Partnership  has decided to
sell.  These  matters are  discussed  in detail  below under the caption  "Other
Income and Expenses:  Write Down of Certain Containers Identified for Sale." The
decrease  in new  container  prices  has worked to the  Partnership's  advantage
though, when, from time to time, the Partnership has bought new containers.  New
containers are bought primarily with a portion of the proceeds received from the
sale of  containers.  In the  discussion  below,  this process is referred to as
reinvestment in containers.

Reinvestment in containers replaces some, but not all, of the containers sold by
the  Partnership.  Therefore,  over  time,  the  Partnership's  container  fleet
shrinks,  and  rental  revenues  decrease,  because  there are fewer  containers
available for lease.

The  Partnership's  expects to stop reinvesting  after the first quarter of 2004
and begin its liquidation  phase in April 2004. The Partnership will then take a
substantial portion of proceeds from sales of containers,  which would otherwise
have been  reinvested,  and  distribute  that money to the  limited  and general
partners. Regular leasing operations will continue during the liquidation phase,
but the Partnership  will allow its fleet to permanently  diminish through sales
of containers.  Once the Partnership has sold substantially all of its fleet and
the  liquidation  phase has been  completed  (which  may take up to six years or
longer,  depending on market  conditions),  the Partnership will begin its final
dissolution  and  winding up of its  business.  The General  Partners  currently
estimate that the liquidation phase will be longer,  rather than shorter, due to
the current market for, and  opportunities  to sell,  used  containers.  Limited
partners will be notified once the Partnership enters its liquidation phase.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historical

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

Sources of Cash

Rental income and proceeds from container sales are the Partnership's  principal
sources  of  liquidity,   and  the  source  of  funds  for   distributions   and
reinvestment.  Rental income and  container  sales prices are affected by market
conditions for leased and used containers. Cash provided from these sources will
fluctuate based on demand for leased and used containers.  Demand for leased and
used  containers  is  discussed  more fully in  "Results  of  Operations."  Cash
provided  by  operating  activities  is  affected  by rental  income,  operating
expenses and the timing of both payments received from lessees and payments made
by the Partnership for operating expenses.  Additionally,  a continued stream of
rental  income is  dependent  partly on the  Partnership's  ability to  re-lease
containers as they come off lease.  See the  discussion of  "Utilization"  below
under "Results of Operations." Cash provided by proceeds from container sales, a
component  of cash from  investing  activities,  is  affected  by the  number of
containers sold, the sale price received on these containers,  and the timing of
payments received for these sales.  Previously reported cash from operations and
sales  proceeds  is not  indicative  of future  cash flows as these  amounts can
fluctuate significantly based on demand for new and used containers,  fleet size
and timing of the payments made and  received.  Fluctuations  in rental  income,
operating expenses, and sale prices for used containers are discussed more fully
in "Results of Operations."

Operating and investing activities are discussed in detail below.


Cash from Operations

Net cash provided by operating  activities for the years ended December 31, 2003
and 2002 was $8,143 and $5,625,  respectively.  The increase of $2,518,  or 45%,
was  primarily  due to the  improvement  in net  earnings  (loss),  adjusted for
non-cash transactions and fluctuations in due from affiliates,  net, and accrued
damage  protection plan costs. The increase was partially offset by fluctuations
in  accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable and  accrued  liabilities.  Net
earnings (loss),  adjusted for non-cash transactions,  improved primarily due to
the increase in rental income and decrease in direct container  expenses.  These
income and expense items are discussed more fully under "Results of Operations."
The  changes in due from  affiliates,  net,  and  accounts  payable  and accrued
liabilities  between the periods 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
increase in accrued damage  protection plan costs during the year ended December
31, 2003 was primarily  due to an increase in the number of  containers  covered
under the damage  protection plan. The increase in gross accounts  receivable of
$122 for the year ended  December 31, 2003 was  primarily due to the increase in
rental income.  The decrease in gross  accounts  receivable of $179 for the year
ended  December 31, 2002 was  primarily  due to the  decrease in rental  income,
offset by the increase in the average collection period of accounts receivable.

Cash from Sale of Containers

Current Uses: For the years ended  December 31, 2003 and 2002,  cash provided by
investing  activities  (the sale of  containers)  was  $2,136  and  $4,052.  The
decrease of $1,916,  or 47%, was primarily due to the Partnership  selling fewer
containers  during the year ended December 31, 2003,  compared to the equivalent
period  in 2002.  The  Partnership  primarily  sells  containers  when they come
off-lease,  and an  analysis  indicates  that  the  container  should  be  sold.
Fluctuations  between  periods in the number of containers  sold reflect the age
and condition of containers  coming  off-lease,  the geographic  market in which
they come off-lease, and other related market conditions.  Fluctuations can also
be  affected  by the  number  of  containers  sold to  lessees,  who pay for any
containers that are lost or damaged beyond repair.

Effect of Market  Conditions:  Market  conditions  can affect the  Partnership's
decision  to sell an  off-lease  container  by  making  it  more  likely  that a
container  will have to be  repositioned  before it can be  re-leased.  Existing
market  conditions  include a trade imbalance  between Asia and the Americas and
Europe which has created  locations with low demand for containers.  The sale of
containers in these areas is discussed below under "Results of Operations:  Sale
of Containers in Low Demand Locations Created by Current Market Conditions."

Effect of Container  Sales on Future Cash Flows:  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  reinvest  and/or pay in
future  distributions to Partners.  Once the Partnership  begins its liquidation
phase,  which is expected to occur in 2004, sales of containers will permanently
reduce  the  Partnership's  container  fleet.  Fewer  containers  will  then  be
available  for lease and for the  generation of rental  income.  The limited and
general partners will, however,  receive more distributions from sales proceeds,
since these proceeds will no longer be used for  reinvestment.  As the container
fleet  diminishes over the course of the liquidation  phase,  distributions  are
expected  to  decline,  as cash from  operations  and cash from  sales  proceeds
decrease along with the fleet.

Uses of Cash

Cash from  operations  is primarily  used to pay  distributions  to partners and
redeem  limited  partnership  units.  Cash from  operations  may also be used to
purchase containers. The amount of cash from operations available to reinvest in
additional  containers,  is  dependent  on (i)  operating  results and timing of
payments made and received;  (ii) the amount of distributions  paid to partners;
(iii) the  amount of  redemptions  and (iv)  working  capital.  The  amounts  of
distributions,  redemptions  and  working  capital  are  subject to the  General
Partners'  authority  to set  these  amounts  as  provided  in  the  Partnership
Agreement.

The largest source of funds for the purchase of new containers (or reinvestment)
is the proceeds  from the sale of the  Partnership's  containers.  The number of
containers  sold and the average sales price affect how much the Partnership can
reinvest in new containers.

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.

These activities are discussed in detail below.

Distributions: Limited partners are currently receiving monthly distributions in
an annualized amount equal to 5% of their original  investment.  During the year
ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership  declared cash distributions to limited
partners  pertaining to the period from December 2002 through  November 2003, in
the amount of $6,511.  On a cash basis,  as reflected on the  Statements of Cash
Flows, after paying redemptions and general partner distributions,  all of these
distributions were from current year operating activities.  On an accrual basis,
as reflected on the Statements of Partners' Capital,  all of these distributions
were a return of capital.

Capital Commitments:  Container purchases

For the  years  ended  December  31,  2003  and  2002,  cash  used in  investing
activities (the purchase of containers) was $3,890 and $1,602, respectively. The
increase  of  $2,288  was  primarily  due to  the  Partnership  purchasing  more
containers  during the year ended December 31, 2003,  compared to the equivalent
period in 2002. The average purchase price increased between the periods, as the
Partnership   purchased   larger,   more  expensive   containers   during  2003.
Fluctuations  between the periods in the number of containers  purchased reflect
(i) the amount of cash available to purchase containers; (ii) demand for leasing
new  containers;  (iii) the type of  container  purchased  and (iv) the purchase
price of the container.

At December 31, 2003, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers.

Capital Commitments:  Redemptions

During the year ended December 31, 2003, the  Partnership  redeemed 58,803 units
for a total dollar amount of $308. The  Partnership  also redeemed  25,023 units
for a total dollar amount of $123 in January  2004.  The  Partnership  used cash
flow from operations to pay for the redeemed units.

The  Partnership  invests  working  capital  and cash flow from  operations  and
investing  activities  prior to its  distribution to the partners in short-term,
liquid investments.

Results of Operations

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) is primarily  affected by the size of its container  fleet, the number
of containers it has on lease  (utilization) and the rental rates received under
its leases. The current status of each of these factors is discussed below.
<PAGE>

Size of Container Fleet

The following is a summary of the container fleet (in units) available for lease
during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

                                                  2003     2002     2001
                                                  ----     ----     ----

        Beginning container fleet..........     28,024   31,411   33,062
        Ending container fleet.............     26,922   28,024   31,411
        Average container fleet............     27,473   29,718   32,237


The average  container fleet decreased 8% from both the years ended December 31,
2002  to 2003  and  December  31,  2001  to  2002,  primarily  due to  sales  of
containers.  While the  decline in  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 year ended December 31, 2002
to the same period in 2003.  An overall  decline in rental income is expected to
continue  in future  years,  as the size of the  Partnership's  container  fleet
continues to decrease.

Utilization

Rental  income and direct  container  expenses are also  affected by the average
utilization of the container fleet, which was 82%, 65% and 60% on average during
the years ended December 31, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  respectively.  The remaining
container fleet is off-lease and is being stored  primarily at a large number of
storage depots.  At December 31, 2003,  2002 and 2001,  utilization was 84%, 83%
and 55%,  respectively,  and the Partnership's  off-lease  containers (in units)
were located in the following locations:

                                             2003       2002         2001

At December  31, 2003 and 2002  approximately  7% and 5%,  respectively,  of the
Partnership's off-lease containers had been specifically identified as for sale.

Rental Rates

In addition to utilization, rental income is affected by daily rental rates. The
average daily rental rate for the Partnership's  containers decreased 8% and 11%
from the years ended  December  31, 2002 to 2003 and  December 31, 2001 to 2002,
respectively. 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 master  leases,  but in the past several years an increasing
percentage of the  Partnership's  containers  have been on lease under long term
leases. At December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, 39%, 29% 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.

Comparative Results of Operations

The following is a comparative analysis of the results of operations for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

         Average rental rates                ( 8%)       (11%)       ( 2%)

The  Partnership's  rental income increased  $1,334, or 11%, from the year ended
December  31,  2002  to  the  comparable   period  in  2003.  The  increase  was
attributable  to  increases  in income from  container  rentals and other rental
income,  which is discussed  below.  Income from  container  rentals,  the major
component  of total  revenue,  increased  $1,161,  or 12%,  from the year  ended
December 31, 2002 to 2003 primarily due to the increase in average  utilization,
offset by the declines in average  container  fleet and rental rates as detailed
in the above table.

The decrease in rental income of $1,914,  or 14%,  from the year ended  December
31, 2001 to 2002 was  attributable to decreases in both container  rental income
and other rental income. Income from container rentals decreased $1,776, or 15%,
primarily  due to  decreases in average  rental rates and the average  container
fleet, offset by an increase in average on-hire utilization as detailed above.

Current  Market  Conditions  for Leased  Containers:  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 for the  remainder  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 lessees can return in low
demand  locations.  However,  rental rates continued to slowly decline primarily
due to low new container prices, low interest rates and low rental 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.

Sale of Containers in Low Demand Locations Created by Current Market Conditions:
Although demand for leased containers has improved,  the trade imbalance between
Asia and the Americas and Europe continues.  As a result, a large portion of the
Partnership's  off-lease  containers are located in low demand  locations in the
Americas  and Europe as  detailed  above in  "Utilization."  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 in low demand  locations  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.
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.

Other Income and Expenses

The following is a discussion of  other income earned by the Partnership and its
expenses:

Other Rental Income

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,  2003,  other  rental  income was  $1,934,  an
increase  of $173 from the  equivalent  period in 2002.  The  increase  in other
rental income was primarily due to increases in DPP and location  income of $310
and $46, respectively, offset by a decrease in handling income of $207.

Other rental income was $1,760 for the year ended  December 31, 2002, a decrease
of $138 from the  equivalent  period in 2001.  The decrease was primarily due to
decreases in location and DPP income of $154 and $127,  respectively,  offset by
the increase in handling income of $144.

Direct Container Expenses

Direct container  expenses  decreased $620, or 16%, from the year ended December
31, 2002 to the  equivalent  period in 2003.  The decrease was  primarily due to
declines in storage  and  handling  expenses  of $1,191 and $115,  respectively,
offset  by  increases  in  repositioning  and DPP  expenses  of $487  and  $202,
respectively. These changes are discussed in detail below.

Storage  expense  decreased due to (i) the increase in utilization  noted above;
(ii) a decline in the average  storage cost per container and (iii) a decline in
the average  fleet size.  The decrease in handling  expense was primarily due to
the decline in container movement. Repositioning expense increased primarily 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 and
an  increase  in the number of  containers  repositioned.  The  increase  in DPP
expense was primarily  due to the increase in the number of  containers  covered
under DPP.

Direct container  expenses decreased $1,658, or 30% from the year ended December
31,  2001,  to the same  period  in 2002.  The  decrease  was  primarily  due to
decreases in repositioning, storage, DPP and maintenance expenses of $833, $575,
$134 and $130, respectively.
<PAGE>

Repositioning  expense  decreased  primarily  due to the decrease in the average
cost  to  reposition   containers  primarily  due  to  shorter,  less  expensive
repositioning moves made during the year ended December 31, 2002 compared to the
same period in 2001.  Storage  expense  decreased due to the increase in average
utilization  noted above and a lower  average  storage cost per  container.  DPP
expense  declined  primarily  due to the decrease in the average DPP repair cost
per container.  Maintenance  expense decreased due to the decrease in the number
of containers  requiring  maintenance and a decrease in the average  maintenance
cost per container.

Bad Debt Expense or Benefit

Bad debt expense  (benefit) was $102, $20 and ($25) for the years ended December
31,  2003,  2002  and  2001,  respectively.  Fluctuations  in bad  debt  expense
(benefit) reflect the adjustments 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.  See  "Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates" below. The expenses recorded during the years
ended  December  31,  2003 and 2002  reflect a higher  reserve  estimate,  after
deductions had been taken against the reserve,  from December 31, 2002 and 2001.
The benefit  recorded  during the year ended  December 31, 2001 reflects a lower
reserve  estimate,  after  deductions  had been taken against the reserve,  from
December 31, 2000.

Depreciation Expense

The increases in depreciation  expense of $351, or 5%, and $251, or 4%, from the
years  ended  December  31,  2002  to  2003  and  December  31,  2001  to  2002,
respectively,  were primarily due to the  Partnership  revising its estimate for
container salvage value in 2002. 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 resulted in an
increased rate of depreciation  for the last half of 2002 and all of 2003. For a
further discussion of changes to depreciation, see "Critical Accounting Policies
and Estimates" below.

Write Down of Certain Containers Identified for Sale

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 December 31, 2003 and 2002 for containers to be
held for continued use and determined  that a reduction to the carrying value of
these   containers  was  not  required.   The  Partnership  also  evaluated  the
recoverability  of the recorded amount of containers  identified for sale in the
ordinary  course of business  and  determined  that a reduction  to the carrying
value of some of these containers was required.  The Partnership  wrote down the
value of these  containers to their  estimated net realizable  value,  which was
based on recent sales prices less cost to sell.

Write-down  expense  decreased  $1,300, or 76%, from the year ended December 31,
2002  to  2003  primarily  due  to the  decrease  in the  number  of  containers
identified  for sale that  required a write-down  and a lower  average  required
write down. The number of containers identified for sale decreased primarily due
to the decline in the number of  containers  located in low demand  locations as
detailed above.  The decline in the average  required write down was primarily a
result of the increased depreciation rate.

Write-down expense increased $761, or 80%, from the year ended December 31, 2001
to 2002 primarily due to the increase in the number of containers identified for
sale  that  required  a  write-down.   See  "Critical  Accounting  Policies  and
Estimates" below.

Loss on Sale of Containers

The  following  details the loss on the sale of  containers  for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

                                                 2003      2002       2001

      Loss on written-down containers            $ 55    $   77       $ 39
      Loss on other containers                    670     1,031        466
                                                  ---     -----        ---
      Total loss on container sales              $725    $1,108       $505
                                                  ===     =====        ===


The loss  recorded on the sale of written  down  containers  for the years ended
December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, was due to the Partnership  selling containers
for a lower  price than the  estimated  sales  proceeds  used to  determine  the
write-down.  For a  further  discussion  of  use  of  estimates,  see  "Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates" below.

As the Partnership  determines the number of containers  identified for sale and
the related  write-down  amount on a monthly  basis,  some  containers  are sold
before they are written down. The loss on these containers is referred to in the
table  above as "Loss on other  containers."  The  amount of loss on the sale of
these other  containers  has  fluctuated  due to the specific  conditions of the
containers sold, the types of container sold, the locations where the containers
were sold and their net book value, rather than any identifiable trend. In fact,
container sales prices appear to have  stabilized,  after declining for the past
several years,  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
years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Management Fees and General and Administrative Costs

Management fees to affiliates  consist of equipment  management  fees, which are
primarily based on rental income, and incentive management fees, which are based
on the Partnership's  limited and general partner  distributions  made from cash
from operations and partners' capital.  The following details these fees for the
years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

                                                 2003      2002       2001
                                                 ----      ----       ----

      Equipment management fees                $  919    $  822     $  955
      Incentive management fees                   271       241        340
                                                -----     -----      -----
        Management fees to affiliates          $1,190    $1,063     $1,295
                                                =====     =====      =====

Equipment  management fees fluctuated based on the fluctuations in rental income
and were  approximately  7% of rental  income for the years ended  December  31,
2003,  2002 and 2001.  Fluctuations  in  incentive  management  fees between the
periods were primarily due to fluctuations in the amount of  distributions  paid
from cash from operations.

General and administrative costs to affiliates decreased $27, or 4%, and $77, or
11%,  from the years ended  December  31, 2002 to 2003 and  December 31, 2001 to
2002,  respectively.  These  decreases  were  primarily  due to decreases in the
allocation of overhead costs from TEM, as the Partnership  represented a smaller
portion of the total fleet managed by TEM.

Other  general and  administrative  costs  decreased  $171,  from the year ended
December 31, 2002 to the same period in 2003 and increased  $114,  from the year
ended  December  31, 2001 to 2002.  These  fluctuations  were  primarily  due to
fluctuations in other service fees between the periods.

Contractual Obligations

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.

Since the  Partnership  Agreement  requires the  Partnership  to continue to pay
these fees and  expenses  to the  General  Partners  and  reimburse  the General
Partners for expenses  incurred by them or other service  providers  selected by
the General Partners, these payments are contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain estimates and assumptions were made by the Partnership's management that
affect  its  financial  statements.  These  estimates  are  based on  historical
experience and on assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
These  estimates and assumptions  form the basis for making  judgments about the
carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ.

The Partnership's management believes the following critical accounting policies
affect its more  significant  judgments and estimates used in the preparation of
its financial statements.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on
management's  current assessment of the financial condition of the Partnership's
lessees and their  ability to make their  required  payments.  If the  financial
condition  of the  Partnership's  lessees were to  deteriorate,  resulting in an
impairment  of their  ability to make  payments,  additional  allowances  may be
required, which would adversely affect the Partnership's operating results.

The General Partners have established a Credit Committee, which actively manages
and monitors the collection of  receivables  on at least a monthly  basis.  This
committee  establishes  credit limits for every lessee and  potential  lessee of
equipment,   monitors   compliance  with  these  limits,   monitors   collection
activities,  follows up on the  collection of outstanding  accounts,  determines
which  accounts  should be  written-off  and estimates  allowances  for doubtful
accounts.  As a result of  actively  managing  these  areas,  the  Partnership's
allowance for bad debt as a percentage of accounts receivable has ranged from 5%
to 16% and has averaged approximately 8% over the last 5 years. These allowances
have historically covered all of the Partnership's bad debts.

Container  Depreciation  Estimates:  The  Partnership  depreciates its container
rental equipment based on certain  estimates  related to the container's  useful
life and salvage value. The Partnership  estimates a container's  useful life to
be 12 years,  an estimate which it has used since the  Partnership's  inception.
Prior to July 1, 2002, the Partnership  estimated  salvage value as a percentage
of equipment cost.  Effective July 1, 2002, the Partnership revised its estimate
for container  salvage value to an estimated  dollar residual value,  reflecting
current expectations of ultimate residual values.

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.  The  Partnership  will revise its estimate of residual  values if it is
determined that these estimates are no longer  reasonable  based on recent sales
prices and revised  assumptions  regarding future sales prices.  The Partnership
will revise its estimate of container  useful life if it is determined  that the
current  estimates  are  no  longer  reasonable  based  on  the  average  age of
containers  sold and revised  assumptions  regarding  future  demand for leasing
older containers.

As a  result,  depreciation  expense  could  fluctuate  significantly  in future
periods as a result of any  revisions  made to these  estimates.  A decrease  in
estimated   residual  values  or  useful  lives  of  containers  would  increase
depreciation expense,  adversely affecting the Partnership's  operating results.
Conversely, any increase in these estimates would result in a lower depreciation
expense,  resulting in an improvement in operating results.  These changes would
not affect cash generated from operations, as depreciation is a non-cash item.

Container  Impairment  Estimates:  Write-downs of containers are made when it is
determined  that the recorded  value of the containers  exceeds their  estimated
fair value. Containers held for continued use and containers identified for sale
in the ordinary  course of business are considered to have  different  estimated
fair values.

In  determining  estimated  fair value for a container  held for continued  use,
management must estimate the future  undiscounted  cash flows for the container.
Estimates  of future  undiscounted  cash flows  require  estimates  about future
rental  revenues to be  generated  by the  container,  future  demand for leased
containers,  and the length of time for which the  container  will  continue  to
generate  revenue.  To date,  management  has not found the  estimates of future
undiscounted  cash flows to be less than the recorded value of the Partnership's
containers.  Therefore,  the  Partnership  has not recorded any  write-downs  of
containers  to be  held  for  continued  use.  Estimates  regarding  the  future
undiscounted  cash flows for these containers  could prove to be inaccurate.  If
these containers are sold prior to the end of their useful lives and before they
are written down, as a result of being  identified as for sale, the  Partnership
may incur losses on the sale of these containers.

In  determining  estimated  fair value for a container  identified for sale, the
current estimated sales price for the container, less estimated cost to sell, is
compared to its recorded  value.  This recorded  value has been found to be less
than the estimated sales price, less cost to sell, for some containers and these
containers  have been  written  down.  See  "Write  Down of  Certain  Containers
Identified for Sale" above. The Partnership has,  however,  recorded some losses
on the sale of these previously  written-down  containers.  Losses were recorded
because  the  estimated  sales  price was  higher  than the actual  sales  price
realized.  Estimated  sales prices are  difficult to predict,  and  management's
estimates  proved  too  high in  these  cases.  See  "Gain  and  Loss on Sale of
Containers" above.

The Partnership will continue to monitor the  recoverability  of its containers.
If actual market  conditions for leased containers are less favorable than those
projected,  if  actual  sales  prices  are lower  than  those  estimated  by the
Partnership,  or if the estimated useful lives of the  Partnership's  containers
were  shortened,  additional  write-downs  may be required  and/or losses may be
incurred.  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,  the risk of  technological  obsolescence,
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  "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,  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.  The
Partnership  does  not  undertake  any  obligation  to  update   forward-looking
statements.


ITEM 7A.     QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Exchange Rate Risk

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 does pay a small amount
of its expenses in various foreign  currencies.  For the year ended December 31,
2003,  approximately 7% of the Partnership's  expenses were paid in 17 different
foreign currencies. As there are no significant payments made in any one foreign
currency, the Partnership does not hedge these expenses.

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

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001
(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.  TFS is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Textainer
     Capital Corporation (TCC). Textainer Equipment Management Limited (TEM) and
     Textainer  Limited (TL) are associate  general partners of the Partnership.
     The  managing  general  partner  and the  associate  general  partners  are
     collectively  referred to as the General Partners and are commonly owned by
     Textainer Group Holdings  Limited (TGH).  The General  Partners also act in
     this capacity for other limited  partnerships.  The General Partners manage
     and control the affairs of the Partnership.

     (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  based  on  the  criteria  of  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 following critical  accounting  policies are used in the preparation of
     its financial statements.

     The Partnership  maintains  allowances for doubtful  accounts for estimated
     losses  resulting  from  the  inability  of its  lessees  to make  required
     payments.  These allowances are based on management's current assessment of
     the financial  condition of the Partnership's  lessees and their ability to
     make their required payments.

     The Partnership depreciates its container rental equipment based on certain
     estimates  related  to the  container's  useful  life  and  salvage  value.
     Additionally, the Partnership writes down the value of its containers if an
     evaluation  indicates  that the  recorded  amounts  of  containers  are not
     recoverable  based on estimated  future  undiscounted  cash flows and sales
     prices.   These  estimates  are  based  upon  historical  useful  lives  of
     containers and container  sales prices as well as assumptions  about future
     demand for leased containers and estimated sale prices.

     (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,  2003  and  2002,  the fair  value  of the  Partnership's
     financial  instruments (cash,  accounts receivable and current liabilities)
     approximates the related book value of such instruments.
<PAGE>

     (e)  Container Rental Equipment

     Container rental equipment is recorded at the cost of the assets purchased,
     which includes  acquisition  fees, less accumulated  depreciation  charged.
     Through June 30, 2002 depreciation of new containers was computed using the
     straight-line  method  over an  estimated  useful life of 12 years to a 28%
     salvage value.  Used containers were depreciated based upon their estimated
     remaining  useful  life at the date of  acquisition  (from 2 to 11  years).
     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,  reflecting  current  expectations  of  ultimate  residual
     values.  The effect of this change for the year ended December 31, 2002 was
     an increase to depreciation  expense of $1,011.  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. 144,
     "Accounting  for the  Impairment  or Disposal of  Long-Lived  Assets" (SFAS
     144),  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 sale are recorded at the
     lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

     The  Partnership  evaluated the  recoverability  of the recorded  amount of
     container  rental equipment at December 31, 2003 and 2002 for containers to
     be held for continued use and  determined  that a reduction to the carrying
     value of these containers was not required.  The Partnership also evaluated
     the recoverability of the recorded amount of containers identified for sale
     in the ordinary  course of business and determined  that a reduction to the
     carrying value of 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,  2003,  2002 and 2001,  the  Partnership  recorded  write-down
     expenses of $415,  $1,715 and $954,  respectively,  on 985, 2,150 and 1,284
     containers  identified  for sale and requiring a reserve.  During the years
     ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership  also  transferred 34 and
     503 containers from  containers  identified for sale to containers held for
     continued  use due to the  improvement  in demand for leased  containers in
     Asia.  There were no transfers  during the year ended December 31, 2001. At
     December  31,  2003  and  2002,  the  net  book  value  of the  318 and 244
     containers  identified as for sale was $258 and $233,  respectively.  These
     containers  are  included  in  container  rental  equipment  in the balance
     sheets.

     The Partnership  sold 882, 2,234 and 612 of these  previously  written down
     containers  for losses of $55, $77 and $39 during the years ended  December
     31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

     The  Partnership  also sold  containers  that had not been written down and
     recorded  losses of $670,  $1,031 and $466 during the years ended  December
     31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

     (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  generated  lease revenue for the years ended December 31,
     2003,  2002 and 2001  which  was 10% or more of the  total  revenue  of the
     Partnership.

     (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  (loss) and creates a
     deficit in a General Partner's capital account,  the Partnership  Agreement
     provides  for a special  allocation  of gross income equal to the amount of
     the deficit to be made to the General Partners.

     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 $86 and $83 at
     December 31, 2003 and 2002, 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)  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, 2003 and 2002, was $435
     and $246, respectively.

     (k)  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,  2003 and 2002,  the  unamortized  portion  of the
     settlement amount was $170 and $232, respectively.

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

     Limited   partners'  per  unit  share  of  both  net  earnings  (loss)  and
     distributions  were  computed  using the weighted  average  number of units
     outstanding  during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, which
     were 6,506,325, 6,633,981, and 6,718,741, respectively.

     (n)  Reclassifications

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

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 $199, $75, and
     $29 of container  acquisition fees as a component of container costs during
     the  years  ended  December  31,  2003,  2002 and 2001,  respectively.  The
     Partnership  incurred  $271,  $241, and $340 of incentive  management  fees
     during each of the three  years ended  December  31,  2003,  2002 and 2001,
     respectively.  There were no equipment  liquidation  fees  incurred  during
     these periods.

     The  Partnership's  containers  are managed by TEM. In its role as manager,
     TEM has authority to acquire,  hold, manage, lease, sell and dispose of the
     containers.  TEM holds,  for the payment of direct  operating  expenses,  a
     reserve of cash that has been collected from leasing operations;  such cash
     is included in due from affiliates, net, at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

     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  revenues  attributable  to full  payout net leases.
     These fees totaled $919,  $822 and $955,  respectively  for the years ended
     December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001.

     Certain  indirect  general  and  administrative  costs  such  as  salaries,
     employee   benefits,   taxes  and  insurance  are  incurred  in  performing
     administrative  services  necessary to the  operation  of the  Partnership.
     These  costs  are  incurred  and paid by TFS and  TEM.  Total  general  and
     administrative costs allocated to the Partnership were as follows:

                                              2003       2002       2001

             Other                             262        237        291
                                               ---        ---        ---
               Total general and
                  administrative costs        $619       $646       $723
                                               ===        ===        ===

     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  investors to the total number of investors
     of all limited partnerships managed by TFS or equally among all the limited
     partnerships  managed by TFS. The General Partners  allocated the following
     general and administrative  costs to the Partnership during the years ended
     December 31, 2003, 3002 and 2001:

                                              2003       2002       2001

                                               ===        ===        ===

     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, 2003, 2002 and 2001:

      On-lease under master leases              13,752      16,499      12,021
      On-lease under long-term leases            8,925       6,797       5,241
                                                ------      ------      ------

      Total on-lease containers                 22,677      23,296      17,262
                                                ======      ======      ======

     Under  master  lease  agreements,  the lessee is not  committed  to lease a
     minimum number of containers from the Partnership during the lease term and
     may generally  return any portion or all the containers to the  Partnership
     at any time, subject to certain restrictions in the lease agreement.  Under
     long-term  lease  agreements,   containers  are  usually  leased  from  the
     Partnership  for periods of between  three to five  years.  Such leases are
     generally cancelable with a penalty at the end of each twelve-month period.
     Under direct  finance  leases,  the  containers are usually leased from the
     Partnership  for  the  remainder  of the  container's  useful  life  with a
     purchase option at the end of the lease term.

     The remaining  containers are off-lease and are being stored primarily at a
     large number of storage depots. At December 31, 2003 and 2002 approximately
     7% and 5%, respectively, of the Partnership's off-lease containers had been
     specifically identified as for sale.

(1) In the fourth quarter,  the  Partnership  reduced it's estimate for recovery
costs as a result of defaults under it's leases that it expects to incur,  which
are in excess of estimated  insurance  proceeds.  The  adjustment  resulted in a
decrease of $134 in depreciation expense.

<PAGE>

ITEM 9.      CHANGES IN AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON ACCOUNTING AND
             FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

There have been none.

ITEM 9.A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on an evaluation of the Partnership's  disclosure  controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934),
the  managing  general  partner's  principal  executive  officer  and  principal
financial officer have found those controls and procedures to be effective as of
the end of the  period  covered by the  report.  There has been no change in the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
Partnership's  last fiscal quarter (the  Partnership's  fourth fiscal quarter in
the  case of an  annual  report),  and  which  has  materially  affected,  or is
reasonably likely materially to affect, the Partnership's  internal control over
financial reporting.


                                    PART III

ITEM 10.     DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The Registrant has no officers or directors.

The Registrant's three general partners are TFS, TEM and TL. TFS is the Managing
General Partner of the Partnership and is a wholly-owned  subsidiary of TCC. TEM
and TL are Associate  General Partners of the Partnership.  The Managing General
Partner and  Associate  General  Partners  are  collectively  referred to as the
General  Partners.  TCC, TEM and TL are  wholly-owned  subsidiaries of Textainer
Group  Holdings  Limited  (TGH).  The General  Partners 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, 2003,  all Section 16(a) filing  requirements  were complied
with. No member of management,  or beneficial owner,  owned more than 10 percent
of limited  partnership  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.

          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.

cash flows for each of the years in the  three-year  period  ended  December 31,

     a.)  designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
          disclosure   controls  and   procedures  to  be  designed   under  our
          supervision,  to ensure  that  material  information  relating  to the
          registrant,  including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
          us by others within those entities,  particularly during the period in
          which this annual report is being prepared;

     b.)  evaluated the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure  controls
          and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions  about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

     c.)  disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
          most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's  fourth fiscal quarter in
          the case of an annual  report)  that has  materially  affected,  or is
          reasonably  likely to materially  affect,  the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying  officers and I have disclosed,  based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's  auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
     directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

     a.)  all significant  deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
          operation  of internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
          reasonably  likely to  adversely  affect the  registrant's  ability to
          record, process, summarize and report financial information; and

     b.)  any fraud, whether or not material,  that involves management or other
          employees who have a  significant  role in the  registrant's  internal
          control over financial reporting.
