PART I  FINANCIAL INFORMATION




Item 1. Business

(a)  General Development of Business

The Registrant is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the
State of California on July 30, 1992, for the purpose of owning and leasing
marine cargo containers, special purpose containers and container-related
equipment. The Registrant was initially capitalized with $100, and commenced
offering its limited partnership interests to the public subsequent to December
1, 1992, pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
33-51810). The Registrant had no securities holders as defined by the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as of December 31, 1992. Additionally, the
Registrant was not engaged in any trade or business during the period covered
by this report, as the offering broke initial impound on January 29, 1993. The
offering terminated on November 30, 1993.

The Registrant raised $59,686,180 in subscription proceeds. The following
table sets forth the use of said subscription proceeds:

The general partner of the Registrant is Cronos Capital Corp. (CCC), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cronos Holdings/Investments (U.S.), Inc., a Delaware
corporation. These and other affiliated companies are ultimately wholly-owned
by The Cronos Group, a holding company registered in Luxembourg (the Parent
Company) and are collectively referred to as the Group. The activities of
the container division of the Group are managed through the Groups subsidiary
in the United Kingdom, Cronos Containers Limited (the Leasing Company). The
Leasing Company manages the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the
Group on its behalf or managed on behalf of other third-party container owners,
including all other programs organized by CCC.

On December 1, 1992, the Leasing Company entered into a Leasing Agent
Agreement with the Registrant assuming the responsibility for all container
leasing activities.

Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result
of Operations.

(b)  Financial Information About Segments

An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in
business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose
operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprises chief operating
decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment
and assess its performance, and about which separate financial information is
available. The Leasing Companys management operates the Registrants
container fleet as a homogenous unit and has determined that as such it has a
single reportable operating segment.

The Registrant derives revenues from dry cargo containers and refrigerated
containers. As of December 31, 2001, the Registrant operated 8,143
twenty-foot, 3,435 forty-foot and 211 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo
containers, as well as 502 twenty-foot and 273 forty-foot marine refrigerated
cargo containers. A summary of gross lease revenue earned by the Leasing
Company, on behalf of the Registrant, by product, for the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 follows:

|                        |  |      |           |      |  |      |           |  |  |   |           |

Due to the Registrants lack of information regarding the physical
location of its fleet of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade,
it is impracticable to provide the geographic area information. Any attempt to
separate foreign operations from domestic operations would be dependent on
definitions and assumptions that are so subjective as to render the information
meaningless and potentially misleading.

One sub-lessee of the Leasing Company contributed approximately 16% or
$904,779 of the Leasing Companys rental revenue earned on behalf of the
Registrant during 2001. One sub-lessee of the Leasing Company contributed
approximately 13% of the Registrants rental revenue billings earned during
2000. No single sub-lessee of the Leasing Company contributed more than 10% of
the Registrants rental revenue earned during 1999.

(c)  Narrative Description of Business

(c)(1)(i) A marine cargo container is a reusable metal container designed
for the efficient carriage of cargo with a minimum of exposure to loss from
damage or theft. Containers are manufactured to conform to worldwide standards
of container dimensions and container ship fittings adopted by the
International Standards Organization (ISO) in 1968. The standard container
is either 20' long x 8' wide x 8'6" high (one twenty-foot equivalent unit
(TEU), the standard unit of physical measurement in the container industry)
or 40' long x 8' wide x 8'6" high (two TEU). Standardization of the
construction, maintenance and handling of containers allows containers to be
picked up, dropped off, stored and repaired efficiently throughout the world.
This standardization is the foundation on which the container industry has
developed.

Standard dry cargo containers are rectangular boxes with no moving parts,
other than doors, and are typically made of steel or aluminum. They are
constructed to carry a wide variety of cargoes ranging from heavy industrial
raw materials to light-weight finished goods. Specialized containers include,
among others, refrigerated containers for the transport of
temperature-sensitive goods, tank containers for the carriage of liquid cargo
and cellular palletwide containers (CPCs) with extra width for unitized or
palletized cargoes. Dry cargo containers currently constitute approximately
87% (in TEU) of the worldwide container fleet. Refrigerated and tank
containers currently constitute approximately 7% (in TEU) of the worldwide
container fleet, with CPCs and other specialized containers constituting the
remaining 6%.

One of the primary benefits of containerization has been the ability of
the shipping industry to effectively lower freight rates due to the
efficiencies created by standardized intermodal containers. Containers can be
handled much more efficiently than loose cargo and are typically shipped via
several modes of transportation, including truck, railway and ship. Containers
require loading and unloading only once and remain sealed until arrival at the
final destination, significantly reducing transport time, labor and handling
costs and losses due to damage and theft. Efficient movement of containerized
cargo between ship and shore reduces the amount of time that a ship must spend
in port and reduces the transit time of freight moves.

The logistical advantages and reduced freight rates brought about by
containerization have been major catalysts for world trade growth since the
late 1960s , resulting in increased demand for marine cargo containers. The
worlds container fleet has grown from an estimated 270,000 TEU in 1969 to
approximately 16 million TEU by the end of 2001.

The container leasing business is cyclical, and depends largely upon the
rate of growth in the volume of world trade. The container leasing industry
has experienced cyclical downturns during the last sixteen years.

Benefits of Leasing

Leasing companies own approximately 47% of the worlds container fleet
with the balance owned predominantly by shipping lines. Shipping lines, which
traditionally operate on tight profit margins, often supplement their owned
fleet of containers by leasing a portion of their equipment from container
leasing companies and, in doing so, achieve the following financial and
operational benefits:



| |  |  | Leasing allows the shipping lines to utilize the equipment they need
without having to make large capital expenditures;                                                       
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | Leasing offers a shipping line an alternative source of financing in
a traditionally capital-intensive industry;                                                              
|
| |  |  | Leasing enables shipping lines to expand their routes and market
shares at a relatively inexpensive cost without making a permanent
commitment to support their new structure;
|
| |  |  | Leasing allows shipping lines to respond to changing seasonal and
trade route demands, thereby optimizing their capital investment and
storage costs.                         

Types of Leases

The Registrants containers are leased primarily to shipping lines
operating in major trade routes (see Item 1(d)). Most if not all of the
Registrants marine dry cargo containers are leased pursuant to operating
leases, primarily master leases, whereby the containers are leased to the ocean
carrier on a daily basis for any desired length of time, with the flexibility
of picking up and dropping off containers at various agreed upon locations
around the world. Some of the Registrants containers may be leased pursuant
to term leases, which may have durations of one to five years. The
Registrants specialized containers are generally leased on longer-term leases
because the higher cost, value and complexity of this equipment makes it more
expensive to redeliver and lease out.



| |  |  | Master lease.Master leases are short-term leases under which a
customer reserves the right to lease a certain number of containers, as
needed, under a general agreement between the lessor and the lessee.
Such leases provide customers with greater flexibility by allowing
customers to pick up and drop off containers where and when needed,
subject to restrictions and availability, on pre-agreed terms. The
commercial terms of master leases are usually negotiated annually.
Master leases also define the number of containers that may be returned
within each calendar month, the return locations and applicable drop-off
charges. Due to the increased flexibility they offer, master leases
usually command higher per-diem rates and generate more ancillary fees
(including pick-up, drop-off, handling and off-hire fees) than term
leases. Master lease agreements have a duration of less than one year
and include one-way, repositioning and round-trip leases. Ocean
carriers generally use one-way leases to manage trade imbalances (where
more containerized cargo moves in one direction than another) by picking
up a container in one port and dropping it off at another location after
one or more legs of a voyage.

|
| |  |  | Term lease.Term leases are for a fixed period of time and include
both long and short-term commitments, with most extending from three to
five years. Term lease agreements may contain early termination
penalties that apply in the event of early redelivery. In most cases,
however, equipment is not returned prior to the expiration of the lease.
Term leases provide greater revenue stability to the lessor, but at
lower per-diem rates than master leases. Ocean carriers use long-term
leases when they have a need for identified containers for a specified
term. They differ from master leases in that they define the number of
containers to be leased and the lease term.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

The terms and conditions of the Leasing Companys leases provide that
customers are responsible for paying all taxes and service charges arising from
container use, maintaining the containers in good and safe operating condition
while on lease and paying for repairs, excluding ordinary wear and tear, upon
redelivery. Some leases provide for a damage protection plan whereby
lessees, for an additional payment (which may be in the form of a higher
per-diem rate), are relieved of the responsibility of paying some of the repair
costs upon redelivery of the containers. The Leasing Company

has historically provided this service on a limited basis to selected
customers. Repairs provided under such plans are carried out by the same
depots, under the same procedures, as are repairs to containers not covered by
such plans. Customers also are required to insure leased containers against
physical damage and loss, and against third party liability for loss, damage,
bodily injury or death.

The percentage of equipment on term leases as compared to master leases
varies widely among leasing companies, depending upon each companys strategy
or margins, operating costs and cash flows.

Lease rates depend on several factors including the type of lease, length
of term, maintenance provided, type and age of the equipment, location and
availability, and market conditions.

Customers

The Registrant is not dependent upon any particular customer or group of
customers of the Leasing Company. Only one of those customers account for more
than 10% of the Registrants revenue, contributing approximately 16% or
$904,779 of the Leasing Companys rental revenue earned during 2001 on behalf
of the Registrant. Substantially all of the customers of the Leasing Company
are billed and pay in United States dollars.

The Leasing Company sets maximum credit limits for the Registrants
customers, limiting the number of containers leased to each according to
established credit criteria. The Leasing Company continually tracks its credit
exposure to each customer. The Leasing Companys credit committee meets
quarterly to analyze the performance of the Registrants customers and to
recommend actions to be taken in order to minimize credit risks. The Leasing
Company uses specialist third party credit information services and reports
prepared by local staff to assess credit applications.

The Registrant may be subject to unexpected loss in rental revenue from
lessees of its containers that default under their container lease agreements
with the Leasing Company. The Registrant and Leasing Company maintain
insurance against loss or damage to the containers, loss of lease revenue in
certain cases and costs of container recovery and repair in the event that a
customer declares bankruptcy.

Fleet Profile

The Registrant acquired high-quality dry cargo containers manufactured to
specifications that exceed ISO standards and are designed to minimize repair
and operating costs.

Dry cargo containers are the most commonly used type of container in the
shipping industry. The Registrants dry cargo container fleet is constructed
of all Corten® steel (i.e., Corten® roofs, walls, doors and undercarriage),
which is a high-tensile steel yielding greater damage and corrosion resistance
than mild steel.

Refrigerated containers are used to transport temperature-sensitive
products, such as meat, fruit, vegetables and photographic film. All of the
Registrants refrigerated containers have high-grade stainless steel interiors.
The majority of the Registrants 20-foot refrigerated containers have
high-grade stainless steel walls, while most of the Registrants 40-foot
refrigerated containers are steel framed with aluminum outer walls to reduce
weight. As with the dry cargo containers, all refrigerated containers are
designed to minimize repair and maintenance and maximize damage resistance.

The Registrant purchased its dry cargo containers from manufacturers in
China, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and India as part of a policy of sourcing
container production in locations where it can meet customer demands most
effectively.

The Registrants refrigerated containers were purchased mainly from Korean
manufacturers. The majority of its refrigeration units were purchased from
Carrier Transicold, the primary container refrigeration unit supplier in the
United States.

The Leasing Company makes payments to the Registrant based upon rentals
collected from ocean carriers after deducting certain operating expenses
associated with the containers, such as the base management fee payable to the
Leasing Company, certain expense reimbursements payable to CCC and the Leasing
Company, the costs of maintenance and repairs not performed by lessees,
independent agent fees and expenses, depot expenses for handling, inspection
and storage, and additional insurance.

Repair and Maintenance

All containers are inspected and repaired when redelivered by a customer,
and customers are obligated to pay for all damage repair, excluding wear and
tear, according to standardized industry guidelines. Depots in major port
areas perform repair and maintenance that is verified by independent surveyors
or the Leasing Companys technical and operations staff. Before any repair or
refurbishment is authorized on older containers in the Registrants fleet, the
Leasing Companys technical and operations staff reviews the age, condition and
type of container, and its suitability for continued leasing. The Leasing
Company compares the cost of such repair or refurbishment with the prevailing
market resale price that might be obtained for that container and makes the
appropriate decision whether to repair or sell the container. The Leasing
Company is authorized to make this decision on behalf of the Registrant and
makes these decisions by applying the same standards to the Registrants
containers as to its own containers.

Market for Used Containers

The Leasing Company estimates that the period for which a dry cargo or
refrigerated container may be used as a leased marine cargo container ranges
from 12 to 15 years. On behalf of the Registrant, the Leasing Company disposes
of used containers in a worldwide market in which buyers include wholesalers,
mini-storage operations, construction companies and others. Although a used
refrigerated container will command a higher price than a used dry cargo
container, a dry cargo container will achieve a higher percentage of its
original price. As the Registrants fleet ages, a larger proportion of its
revenue will be derived from selling its containers.

Operations

The Registrants container leasing and marketing operations are conducted
through the Leasing Company in the United Kingdom, with support provided by
area offices and dedicated agents located in San Francisco, California; Iselin,
New Jersey; Antwerp; Genoa; Gothenburg, Sweden; Singapore; Hong Kong; Sydney;
Tokyo; Taipei; Seoul; Rio de Janeiro; Shanghai and Madras, India.

The Leasing Company also maintains agency relationships with over 20
independent agents around the world, who are generally paid commissions based
upon the amount of revenues they generate in the region or the number of
containers that are leased from their area. The agents are located in
jurisdictions where the volume of the Leasing Companys business necessitates a
presence in the area but is not sufficient to justify a fully-functioning
Leasing Company office or dedicated agent. Agents provide marketing support to
the area offices covering the region, together with limited operational
support.

In addition, the Leasing Company relies on the services of over 300
independently-owned and operated depots around the world to inspect, repair,
maintain and store containers while off-hire. The Leasing Companys area
offices authorize all container movements into and out of the depot and
supervise all repair and maintenance performed by the depot. The Leasing
Companys technical staff sets the standards for repair of its owned and
managed fleet throughout the world and monitors the quality of depot repair
work. The depots provide a vital link to the Leasing Companys operations, as
the redelivery of a container into a depot is the point at which the container
is off-hired from one customer and repaired in preparation for re-leasing to
the next.

The Leasing Companys global network is integrated through its computer
system which provides 24-hour communication between offices, agents and depots.
The system allows the Leasing Company to manage and control the Registrants
fleet on a global basis, providing it with the responsiveness and flexibility
necessary to service the master lease market effectively. This system is an
integral part of the Leasing Companys service, as it processes information
received from the various offices, generates billings to the Leasing Companys
lessees and produces a wide range of reports on all aspects of the Leasing
Companys leasing activities. The system records the life history of each
container, including the length of time on and off lease and repair costs, as
well as port activity trends, leasing activity and equipment data per customer.
The operations and marketing data is fully interfaced with the finance and
accounting system to provide revenue, cost and asset information to management
and staff around the world.

Insurance

The Leasing Companys lease agreements typically require lessees to obtain
insurance to cover all risks of physical damage and loss of the equipment under
lease, as well as public liability and property damage insurance. However, the
precise nature and amount of the insurance carried by each ocean carrier varies
from lessee to lessee. In addition, the Registrant has purchased secondary
insurance effective in the event that a lessee fails to have adequate primary
coverage. This insurance covers liability arising out of bodily injury and/or
property damage as a result of the ownership and operation of the containers,
as well as insurance against loss or damage to the containers, loss of lease
revenues in certain cases and costs of container recovery and repair in the
event that a customer goes into bankruptcy. The Registrant believes that the
nature and the amounts of its insurance are customary in the container leasing
industry and subject to standard industry deductions and exclusions.

(c)(1)(v) The Registrants containers are leased globally; therefore,
seasonal fluctuations are minimal. Other economic and business factors to
which the transportation industry in general and the container leasing industry
in particular are subject, include fluctuations in general business conditions
and fluctuations in supply and demand for equipment resulting from, among other
things, obsolescence, changes in the methods or economics of a particular mode
of transportation or changes in governmental regulations or safety standards.

(c)(1)(vi) The Registrant established an initial working capital reserve
of approximately 1% of subscription proceeds raised. In addition, the
Registrant may reserve additional amounts from anticipated cash distributions
to the partners to meet working capital requirements.

Amounts due under master leases are calculated at the end of each month
and billed approximately six to eight days thereafter. Amounts due under
short-term and long-term leases are set forth in the respective lease
agreements and are generally payable monthly. However, payment is normally
received within 45-100 days of billing. Past due penalties are not customarily
collected from lessees and, accordingly, are not generally levied by the
Leasing Company against lessees of the Registrants containers.

(c)(1)(vii) For the year ended December 31, 2001, one sub-lessee of the
Leasing Company accounted for approximately 16% or $904,779 of the Leasing
Companys rental revenue earned on behalf of the Registrant. The Registrant
does not believe that its ongoing business is dependent upon a single customer,
although the loss of one or more of its largest customers could have an adverse
effect upon its business.

(c)(1)(viii) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(ix) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(x) Competition among container leasing companies is based upon
several factors, including the location and availability of inventory, lease
rates, the type, quality and condition of the containers, the quality and
flexibility of the service offered and the confidence in and professional
relationship between the lessee and the lessor. Other factors include the
speed with which a leasing company can prepare its containers for lease and the
ease with which a lessee believes it can do business with a lessor or its local
area office. Not all container leasing companies compete in the same market,
as some supply only dry cargo containers and not specialized containers, while
others offer only long-term leases. The Leasing Company has historically
targeted three particular markets: the master lease dry cargo container market,
the refrigerated container market and the tank container market. In recent
years, however, the Leasing Company has expanded into other container products
and other types of leases.

The Leasing Company, on behalf of the Registrant, competes with various
container leasing companies in the markets in which it conducts business,
including Transamerica Leasing, GE Seaco, Triton Container International Ltd.,
Textainer Corp., and others. Mergers and acquisitions have been a feature of
the container leasing industry for over a decade and the leasing market is
essentially comprised of three distinct groups: the very large (in TEU terms)
market leaders, Transamerica Leasing and GE Seaco, who between them, with
fleets of around 1.1 million TEU each in mid-2001, control in excess of one
third of the total leased fleet; a substantial middle tier of companies
possessing fleets in the 185,000 to 950,000 TEU range; and the smaller more
specialized fleet operators. In recent years, several major leasing companies,
as well as numerous smaller ones, have been acquired by competitors. The
Leasing Company believes that the current trend toward consolidation in the
container leasing industry will continue, up to a point. There appears to be
an upper limit to the size of the optimum fleet, beyond which dis-economies of
scale and/or barriers against further market share development become apparent.
Furthermore, ocean carriers have a tendency to support a number of lessors
simultaneously in order to maximize competition and increase the number of
available locations for redelivery of containers. Economies of scale,
worldwide operations, diversity, size of fleet and financial strength are
increasingly important to the successful operation of a container leasing
business. Additionally, as containerization grows, and as regions such as
South America and the Indian sub-continent generate an increasing volume of
containerized cargo, customers may demand more flexibility from leasing
companies regarding per-diem rates, pick-up and drop-off locations, and the
availability of containers.

In recent years, the Leasing Company and other lessors have developed
certain internet-based applications. For the Leasing Company, these
applications allow customers access to make on-line product inquiries. The
Leasing Company is continuing to develop this side of its business and will
introduce other internet options in the future, as soon as suitable
applications are identified.

financial resources than the Leasing Company and may be more capable of
offering lower per diem rates. In the Leasing Companys experience, however,
ocean carriers will generally lease containers from more than one leasing
company in order to minimize dependence on a single supplier. Furthermore, by
having as many suppliers as possible, the carrier is able to maximize the
number of off-hires and off-hire locations available, as typically each
supplier may limit the number of containers that can be off-hired by location.
The advantage to the carrier is that this prevents the carrier from being
burdened with an excess number of off-hired containers, which incur both
storage and per diem charges, in a low demand market.

(c)(1)(xii) Environmental Matters

Countries that are signatories to the Montreal Protocol on the environment
agreed in November 1992 to restrict the use of environmentally destructive
refrigerants, banning production (but not use) of refrigerant gases that are
chlorofluorocarbon compounds (CFCs) beginning in January 1996. CFCs are used
in the operation, insulation and manufacture of refrigerated containers. The
environmental impact of CFCs has become increasingly prominent. On January 1,
2001, it became illegal for environmentally-destructive refrigerants to be
handled, other than for disposal, in most member countries of the European
Union. In the second quarter of 2001, the Leasing Company conducted a review
of the Registrants refrigerated container equipment, which resulted in the
recording of impairment charges on those containers using a CFC refrigerant,
affecting both containers on and off-hire. The Leasing Company has implemented
a disposal program for the Registrants impaired, refrigerated containers.
This program has targeted the off-hire containers for immediate disposal.
Those that are currently on lease will be disposed of when redelivered and
off-hired by the lessee. These impaired, refrigerated containers may command
lower prices in the used container market.

In the past, the Leasing Company has retrofitted certain refrigerated
containers with non-CFC refrigerants. The Leasing Company has decided not to
retrofit any containers owned by the Registrant. In the unlikely event that
retrofitting expenses should be required, the Registrant believes they would
not be material to its results of operations.

(c)(1)(xiii) The Registrant, as a limited partnership, is managed by CCC,
the general partner, and accordingly does not itself have any employees. At
February 28, 2001, CCC had 12 employees, consisting of 3 officers, 5 other
managers and 4 clerical and staff personnel.

(d)  Financial Information About Geographic Areas

The Registrants business is not divided between foreign or domestic
operations. The Registrants business is the leasing of containers worldwide
to ocean carriers. To this extent, the Registrants operations are subject to
the fluctuations of world economic and political conditions. Such factors may
affect the pattern and levels of world trade.

The Registrant believes that the profitability of, and risks associated
with, leases to foreign customers is generally the same as those of leases to
domestic customers. The Leasing Companys leases generally require all
payments to be made in United States currency.

Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 2001, the Registrant owned 8,143 twenty-foot, 3,435
forty-foot and 211 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well as
502 twenty-foot and 273 forty-foot refrigerated cargo containers, suitable for
transporting cargo by rail, sea or highway. The average age, manufacturers
invoice cost and estimated useful life of the Registrants containers as of
December 31, 2001 were as follows:

|40-Foot Refrigerated Cargo Containers  |  | 12-15 years |  | 9 years     |  | $            | 17,299 | 

Utilization by lessees of the Registrants containers fluctuates over time
depending on the supply of and demand for containers in the Registrants
inventory locations. During 2001, utilization of the dry cargo and
refrigerated container fleet averaged 66% and 77%, respectively.

During 2001, the Registrant disposed of 188 twenty-foot, 45 forty-foot and
two forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well as one
twenty-foot and 20 forty-foot refrigerated cargo containers at an average net
loss on disposal of $908 per container.

The Registrant embarked on a refrigerated reshell program during 2000,
whereby certain forty-foot refrigerated cargo containers considered to no
longer be suitable for leasing were converted to twenty-foot refrigerated
containers. The reshelling involved the removal of the existing machinery from
the forty-foot refrigerated containers and reassembling the machinery with new
twenty-foot refrigerated container shells. During 2001 and 2000, approximately
$122,000 and $106,000, respectively, were paid to Cronos Equipment (Bermuda)
Ltd., an affiliate of CCC and the Leasing Company, in association with the
reshelling of 27 and 23 forty-foot refrigerated containers during 2001 and
2000, respectively. These amounts included the cost of the new twenty-foot
refrigerated container shells, as well as miscellaneous transportation costs.
The reshell program expired at the end of 2001.

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Registrants primary objective is to generate cash flow from
operations for distribution to its limited partners and, during the initial
years of operation, reinvest excess cash flow in additional equipment. Aside
from the initial working capital reserve retained from gross subscription
proceeds (equal to approximately 1% of such proceeds), the Registrant relies
primarily on container rental receipts to meet this objective as well as to
finance operating needs. No credit lines are maintained to finance working
capital.

Cash distributions from operations are allocated 5% to the general partner
and 95% to the limited partners. Distributions of sales proceeds are allocated
1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partners. This sharing
arrangement will remain in place until the limited partners have received
aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital contributions plus
an 8% cumulative, compounded (daily) annual return on their adjusted capital
contributions. Thereafter, all distributions will be allocated 15% to the
general partner and 85% to the limited partners, pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of
the Registrants Partnership Agreement. Cash distributions from operations to
the general partner in excess of 5% of distributable cash will be considered an
incentive fee and compensation to the general partner.

From inception through February 28, 2001, the Registrant has distributed
$41,908,842 in cash from operations and $634,166 in cash from container sales
proceeds to its limited partners. This represents total distributions of
$42,544,008, or 71% of the limited partners original invested capital.
Distributions are paid monthly based primarily on each quarters cash flow from
operations. Monthly distributions are also affected by periodic increases or
decreases to working capital reserves, as deemed appropriate by the general
partner. Sales proceeds distributed to its partners may fluctuate in
subsequent periods, reflecting the level of container disposals.

At December 31, 2001, the Registrant had $1,620,354 in cash and cash
equivalents, a decrease of $85,979 from the cash balances at December 31, 2000
and an increase of $601,134 from the December 31, 1999. The Registrant invests
its working capital, as well as cash flows from operations and the sale of
containers that have not yet been distributed to CCC or its limited partners in
money market funds.

Cash from Operating Activities:Net cash provided by operating activities
was $3,248,298 and $4,588,339 during 2001 and 2000, respectively, primarily
generated from the billing and collection of net lease revenue.

##### Table of Contents



Cash from Investing Activities:Net cash provided by investing activities
was $262,444 and $226,990 in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Cash provided by
financing activities during 2001 included $384,460 in proceeds generated from
the sale of rental equipment and cash expenditures of approximately $122,000
resulting from the reshelling of refrigerated containers. See Part I, Item 2,
herein, for a description of the Registrants refrigerated container reshell
costs. During 2000, cash provided by financing activities included $457,931 in
proceeds generated from the sale of rental equipment, as well as the
Registrants purchase of 45 forty-foot dry cargo containers at a cost of
$119,250, replacing containers that had been lost or damaged beyond repair.
The related acquisition fee associated with this container acquisition was
$5,963. Purchases of container rental equipment also included approximately
$106,000 of costs associated with the reshelling of refrigerated containers
during 2000.

Cash from Financing Activities:Net cash used in financing activities was
$3,596,721 during 2001 compared to $4,128,216 during 2000. These amounts
represent distributions to the Registrants general and limited partners. The
Registrants continuing container disposals, as well as current market
conditions, should produce lower operating results and, consequently, lower
distributions to its partners in subsequent periods.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2000

A Leasing Agent Agreement (Agreement) exists between the Registrant and
the Leasing Company, whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to
manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Registrant.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing,
managing and re-leasing the Registrants containers to ocean carriers, and has
full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services
it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to
use the containers owned by the Registrant, together with other containers
owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single
fleet operated without regard to ownership. At December 31, 2001, 93% of the
original equipment remained in the Registrants fleet, as compared to 95% at
December 31, 2000. The following chart summarizes the composition of the
Registrants fleet (based on container type) at December 31, 2001.

The demand for dry cargo containers has been adversely affected by the
slowdown in the global economy resulting in an excess supply of containers in
many locations. Transpacific trade, a large proportion of which consists of
technology-related goods, has been largely affected by the slowdown of the US
economy, while the contraction in the Japanese economy contributed to lower
levels of intra-asian trade. For the first time in many years, the GDP growth
rates of the United States, Europe, and Japan decelerated simultaneously,
contributing to lower utilization rates and higher container inventories
throughout the world.

As a result of the increasing world-wide container inventories during
2001, the demand for new container production has declined. Although a
slowdown in new container production should have positive short and long-term
effects for the container leasing industry, a reduction in new containers will
not significantly reduce off-hire container inventories without an improvement
in the worlds economies. During the fourth quarter of 2001, prices for new
containers reached historic lows, creating further downward pressures on future
per-diem rates and container residual values.

Recent corporate failures and defaults within the credit markets, as well
as an increasingly cautious business climate since September 11, 2001, have
contributed to lower levels of capital available for new container purchases.
Accordingly, a more conservative credit market should result in a reduction of
funding for new container production and, in the short term, contribute to
improving the level of off-hire container inventories for both leasing
companies and shipping lines. In response to the foregoing, the Leasing
Company continues to implement a number of marketing initiatives which are
designed to target identified leasing opportunities and enhance inventory
management of the Registrants fleet.

The effect of the slowdown in global economic conditions on the container
leasing industrys customers, the shipping lines, coupled with their
acquisition of new, larger container ships, appear to have created a condition
of excess shipping capacity. This may ultimately result in some shipping lines
experiencing financial difficulty, insolvency, or consolidation and ultimately
influence the demand for leased containers. Although the ultimate outcome, as
well as its impact on the container leasing industry and the Registrants
results of operations is unknown, CCC, on behalf of the Registrant, will work
closely with the Leasing Company to monitor outstanding receivables,
collections, and credit exposure to various existing and new customers.

The Registrants average fleet size and utilization rates for the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

The Registrants average dry cargo and refrigerated container per-diem
rental rates for the year 2001 decreased 9% and 6%, respectively, from 2000
levels. The decline in the Registrants fleet size, combined with the net
reduction in utilization and average per-diem rental rates contributed to a 19%
decline in gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) when
compared to the previous year.

The primary component of the Registrants results of operations is net
lease revenue. Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating
expenses, management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses, from rental
revenues billed by the Leasing Company from the leasing of the Registrants
containers. Net lease revenue is directly related to the size, utilization and
per-diem rental rates of the Registrants fleet.

Income (loss) from operationsfor the year ended December 31, 2001 was a
loss of $2,637,659, compared to income of $955,094 for the prior year. The
decrease was primarily due to a decline in net lease revenue of $1,190,916, an
increase in the net loss on disposal of equipment of $42,369, an increase in
asset impairment losses of $2,400,085, partially offset by a $105,570 decline
in depreciation expense.

Net lease revenuewas $3,141,175 for the year 2001 compared to $4,332,091
for the prior year. The decrease was due to a $1,246,875 decline in gross
rental revenue and an $87,054 increase in rental equipment operating expenses
from the year 2000. Gross rental revenue was impacted by the Registrants
smaller fleet size, lower per-diem rental rates and lower combined fleet
utilization rates. The increase in direct operating expense was attributable
to the Registrants lower utilization rate in 2001, and its impact on activity
based expenses such as storage, handling and repair and maintenance. Other
components of net lease revenue, including management fees, and reimbursed
administrative expenses, were lower by a combined $142,743 when compared to the
year 2000, and partially offset the decline in gross lease revenue.

Depreciation expenseof $2,981,411 in 2001 was $105,570 lower than 2000
due to a declining fleet size. Effective June 1, 2001, the Registrant changed
the estimated life of its rental container equipment from an estimated 12 year
life to a 15 year life, and its estimated salvage value from 30% to 10% of
original equipment cost. The effect of these changes was an increase in
depreciation expense of approximately $51,290 since June 1, 2001.

Other general and administrative expenseswere $164,925 in 2001, an
increase of $64,953 or 65% when compared to 2000. Contributing to this
increase were professional fees, costs related to investor communications and
net exchange rate losses.

Net loss on disposal of equipmentwas a result of the Registrant disposing
of 256 containers in 2001, as compared to 170 containers during 2000. These
disposals resulted in a net loss of $232,413 for 2001, compared to a net loss
of $190,044 for 2000. The Registrant believes that the net loss on container
disposals in 2001 was a result of various factors, including the age,
condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographical
location of the containers when disposed. These factors will continue to
influence the decision to repair or dispose of a container when it is returned
by a lessee, as well as the amount of sales proceeds received and the related
gain or loss on container disposals. The level of the Registrants container
disposals in subsequent periods will also contribute to fluctuations in the net
gain or loss on disposals. As a result of current world events and market
conditions, the Registrant re-evaluated its asset impairment criteria pursuant
to the Financial Accounting Standards Boards accounting pronouncement SFAS No.
121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of.

Impairment chargeswere incurred by the Registrant relating to
refrigerated container equipment with R12 refrigerant gas (the R12
Containers). In the second quarter of 2001, the Leasing Company undertook a
review of the Registrants refrigerated container equipment. Due to the
environmental impact of the R12 refrigerant gas and other R12 Container
marketing considerations, the Leasing Company concluded that effective July 1,
2001, off-hire inventories of the Registrants R12 Containers would be targeted
for immediate sale. The Leasing Company also conducted a review of the
Registrants R12 Containers that were on lease at June 30, 2001.



| |  | Assets to be disposed of:In June 2001, the Leasing Company committed to a
plan to dispose of 81 R12 Containers with a carrying value of $1,029,674. It
was concluded that the carrying value of these R12 Containers exceeded fair
value and accordingly, an impairment charge of $811,424 was recorded to
operations under impairment losses. It is expected that these R12 Containers
will be disposed of over the next several quarters. Included in the net loss
on the disposal of equipment for the year 2001 is a gain of $1,186 on the
sale of one refrigerated container that was targeted for sale as of June 30,
2001. Fair value was determined by discounting future expected cash flows.

|
| |  | Assets to be held and used:The Leasing Company conducted a review of 210 R12
Containers with a carrying value of $2,529,995 that were on lease at June 30,
2001. It was concluded that the carrying value of these R12 Containers
exceeded the future cash flows expected to result from the use of these
containers and their eventual disposition,- and therefore was not
recoverable. Accordingly, a charge of $1,588,661 was recorded to operations
under impairment losses. Fair value was determined by discounting future
expected cash flows.                                                                                                                                                 

Year Ended December 31, 2000 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 1999

Income (loss) from operationsfor the year ended December 31, 2000
resulted in income of $955,094, compared to income of $809,147 for the prior
year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net lease revenue of
$320,719.

Net lease revenueof $4,332,091 for the year 2000 was $320,719 higher
compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily attributable to higher
utilization levels during 2000, offsetting lower per-diem rental rates.
Average dry cargo and refrigerated container per-diem rental rates decreased 7%
and 5%, respectively, from 1999 levels. Increases of utilization for both the
dry and refrigerated containers contributed to a $328,972 reduction in rental
equipment operating expenses, such as storage and handling. Other components
of net lease revenue, including management fees and reimbursed administrative
expenses, were lower by a combined $26,409 when compared to the prior year, a
result of the Registrants fleet size and related performance.

Depreciation expenseof $3,086,981 in 2000 was $4,258 lower than 1999 due
to an aging, declining fleet.

Other general and administrative expensesdecreased to $99,972 in 2000,
from $106,655 in 1999, representing a decline of $6,683.

Net loss on disposal of equipmentwas a result of the Registrant disposing
of 170 containers during 2000, as compared to 94 containers during 1999. These
disposals resulted in a net loss of $190,044 for 2000 as compared to a net loss
of $4,331 for 1999. The Registrant believes that the net loss on container
disposals in 2000 was a result of various factors including the age, condition,
suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographic location of the
containers when disposed.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective for all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This standard requires a company
to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in
the period in which it is incurred, and a corresponding increase in the
carrying value of the related long-lived asset. The Registrant is currently
evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 143 will have on its financial statements.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which is
effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with early
application encouraged. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, but retains its
fundamental provisions relating to the recognition and measurement of the
impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used, and the measurement of
long lived assets to be disposed of by sale. SFAS No. 144 was adopted by the
Registrant effective January 1, 2002, without a significant impact on its
financial statements.

Inflation

The Registrant believes inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the
results of its operations.




Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Exchange rate risk:Substantially all of the Registrants revenues are
billed and paid in US dollars, and a significant portion of costs are billed
and paid in US dollars. Of the remaining costs, the majority are individually
small, unpredictable and incurred in various denominations and thus are not
suitable for cost effective hedging.

The Leasing Company may hedge a portion of the expenses that are
predictable and are principally in UK pounds sterling. As exchange rates are
outside of the control of the Registrant and Leasing Company, there can be no
assurance that such fluctuations will not adversely affect its results of
operations and financial condition.

| |     |  | Cronos Global Income Fund XIV, L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited
partnership organized under the laws of the State of California on July
30, 1992, for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers
worldwide to ocean carriers. To this extent, the Partnerships
operations are subject to the fluctuations of world economic and
political conditions. Such factors may affect the pattern and levels of
world trade. The Partnership believes that the profitability of, and
risks associated with, leases to foreign customers is generally the same
as those of leases to domestic customers. The Partnerships leases
generally require all payments to be made in United States currency.

| |     |  | Cronos Capital Corp. (CCC) is the general partner and, with its
affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the Leasing Company), manages the
business of the Partnership. CCC and the Leasing Company also manage
the container leasing business for other partnerships affiliated with
the general partner. The Partnership shall continue until December 31,
2012, unless terminated sooner upon the occurrence of certain events.

| |     |  | The Partnership commenced operations on January 29, 1993 when the
minimum subscription proceeds of $2,000,000 were obtained. The
Partnership offered 4,250,000 units of limited partnership interests at
$20 per unit, or $85,000,000. The offering terminated on November 30,
1993, at which time 2,984,309 limited partnership units had been sold.

|
| |     |  | A Leasing Agent Agreement exist between the Partnership and the leasing
Company, whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage
the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for
leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnerships containers to ocean
carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers
of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement
permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the
Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the
Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated
without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets
the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under
which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee.                                                                                                                                                            
|
| |     |  | The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company
will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from
ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management
fees to CCC and the Leasing Company. The Leasing Company leases
containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are
either master leases or term leases (mostly one to five years). Master
leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the
term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier
to pick up and drop off containers at various locations, and rentals are
based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem
rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and
contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are
leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with
fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since
there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum
lease rentals is provided in these financial statements.

| |     |  | The Partnerships financial instruments that are exposed to
concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash
equivalents and net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company. See
note 3 for further discussion regarding the credit risk associated with
cash and cash equivalents.

| |     |  | Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company (see notes 1(b) and 4
for discussion regarding net lease receivables) subject the Partnership
to a significant concentration of credit risk. These net lease
receivables, representing rentals earned by the Leasing Company, on
behalf of the Partnership, from ocean carriers after deducting direct
operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company,
are remitted by the Leasing Company to the Partnership three to four
times per month. The Partnership has historically never incurred a loss
associated with the collectibility of unremitted net lease receivables
due from the Leasing Company.

| |     |  | The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Net lease
revenue is recorded by the Partnership in each period based upon its
leasing agent agreement with the Leasing Company. Net lease revenue is
generally dependent upon operating lease rentals from operating lease
agreements between the Leasing Company and its various lessees, less
direct operating expenses and management fees due in respect of the
containers specified in each operating lease agreement.

| |     |  | The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP),
which requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

| |     |  | Actual cash distributions differ from the allocations of net income or
loss between the general and limited partners as presented in these
financial statements. Partnership distributions are paid to its
partners (general and limited) from distributable cash from operations,
allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the general partner.
Distributions of sales proceeds are allocated 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the general partner. The allocations remain in
effect until such time as the limited partners have received from the
Partnership aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital
contributions plus an 8% cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return
on their adjusted capital contributions. Thereafter, all Partnership
distributions will be allocated 85% to the limited partners and 15% to
the general partner. Cash distributions from operations to the general
partner in excess of 5% of distributable cash will be considered an
incentive fee and will be recorded as compensation to the general
partner, with the remaining distributions from operations charged to

| |     |  | In accordance with SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of,
container rental equipment is considered to be impaired if the carrying
value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows from related
operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment
is deemed to exist, the assets are written down to fair value.
Depreciation policies are also evaluated to determine whether subsequent
events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives.
Because the Partnership evaluates future cash flows and potential
impairment by container type rather than for each individual container,
future losses could result for individual container dispositions due to
various factors, including age, condition, suitability for continued
leasing, as well as the geographical location of containers when
disposed.
|
| |     |  | In June 2001, the Partnership recorded impairment charges relating to
refrigerated container equipment which reduced results of operations by
$2,400,085 or $0.80 per limited partnership unit. The impairment
charges were a result of CCCs and the Leasing Companys review of the
Partnerships refrigerated container equipment. The purpose of the
review was to consider recent changes in the marketplace and economic
environment and to identify the consequences, if any, from an accounting
perspective. The Leasing Company identified a number of issues that
have had an impact on the carrying value of certain equipment at June
30, 2001.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

| |      |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |  |

| | i.   | In 1992, the Montreal Protocol outlawed the production
of the R12 refrigerant gas by developed countries. Since that
date, shipping lines and leasing companies have operated fleets
including refrigerated container equipment with the R12
refrigerant gas (the R12 Containers). However, the
environmental impact of refrigerant gases has become increasingly
prominent. On January 1, 2001, it became illegal for R12 to be
handled, other than for disposal, in most member countries of the
European Union.
| | ii.  | Several of the major shipping lines that lease from the
Leasing Company, as well as other leasing companies, have
committed to eliminating R12 Containers from their fleets in
2001. Inventories consisting of R12 Containers will continue to
increase as shipping lines redeliver the containers from existing
leases.                                                                                                                                                                                            
| | iii. | During 2000, the Leasing Company completed a number of
term leases for R12 Containers. However, over the course of
2001, the factors outlined above, together with the deteriorating
economic environment, have resulted in a very slow leasing market
for R12 Containers. In addition, it is probable that residual
prices for R12 Containers will decrease as R12 containers are
redelivered from existing leases.                                                                                                



| |  |  | The Leasing Company considered the impact of these factors in June 2001
and decided to change the current marketing strategy for R12 Containers.
The Leasing Company concluded that, effective July 1, 2001, inventories
of R12 Containers would be targeted for immediate sale. The Leasing
Company also conducted a review of R12 Containers that were on lease at
June 30, 2001.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
| |  |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| |  |  | Assets to be disposed of:In June 2001, the Leasing Company committed to
a plan to dispose of 81 R12 Containers with a carrying value of
$1,029,674. It was concluded that the carrying value of these R12
containers exceeded fair value and accordingly, an impairment charge of
$811,424 was recorded to operations under impairment losses. It is
expected that these R12 Containers will be will be disposed of over the
next several quarters. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the
Partnership sold one refrigerated container which was targeted for sale
as of June 30, 2001 and recognized a gain of $1,186.
|
| |  |  | Assets to be held and used:The Leasing Company conducted a review of
210 R12 Containers with a carrying value of $2,529,995 that were on
lease at June 30, 2001. It was concluded that the carrying value of
these R12 Containers exceeded the future cash flows expected to result
from the use of these containers and their eventual disposition,- and
therefore was not recoverable. Accordingly, a charge of $1,588,661 was
recorded to operations under impairment losses. Fair value was
determined by discounting future expected cash flows.

Notes to Financial Statements



| |     |  | There were no impairment charges to the carrying value of container
rental equipment during 2000 and 1999.
Container rental equipment is depreciated using the straight-line basis.
Effective June 1, 2001, the estimated depreciable life was changed from
a twelve-year life to a fifteen-year life and the estimated salvage
value was changed from 30% to 10% of the original equipment cost. The
effect of these changes is an increase to depreciation expense of
approximately $51,290 from June 1 to December 31, 2001.

| |     |  | The Partnership has determined that, for accounting purposes, the
Leasing Agent Agreement is a lease, and the receivables, payables, gross
revenues and operating expenses attributable to the containers managed
by the Leasing Company are, for accounting purposes, those of the
Leasing Company and not of the Partnership. Consequently, the
Partnerships balance sheets and statements of operations display the
payments to be received by the Partnership from the Leasing Company as

| |     |  | In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which is effective
for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This standard
requires a company to record the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, and a
corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived
asset. The Registrant is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No.
143 will have on its financial statements.

| |     |  | In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001 with early application encouraged. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS
No. 121, but retains its fundamental provisions relating to the
recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be
held and used, and the measurement of long lived assets to be disposed
of by sale. SFAS No. 144 will be adopted by the Partnership effective
January 1, 2002, without a significant impact on its financial
statements.

|    |  | An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in
business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses,
whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprises chief
operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated
to the segment and assess its performance, and about which separate
financial information is available. Management operates the Partnerships
container fleet as a homogenous unit and has determined that as such it has
a single reportable operating segment.
|   
|    |  | The Partnership derives revenues from dry cargo containers and
refrigerated containers. As of December 31, 2001, the Partnership
owned 8,143 twenty-foot 3,435 forty-foot and 211 forty-foot high-cube
marine dry cargo containers, as well as 502 twenty-foot and 273
forty-foot marine refrigerated cargo containers. A summary of gross
lease revenue earned by the Leasing Company, on behalf of the
Partnership, by product, for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000

|    |  | Due to the Partnerships lack of information regarding the physical location
of its fleet of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade, it is
impracticable to provide the geographic area information.

contributed approximately 13% of the Registrants rental revenue billings

|    |  | Cash equivalents include money market funds that invest in highly-liquid
first-tier securities, such as U.S. Treasury obligations, repurchase
agreements secured by U.S. Treasury obligations, and obligations whose
principal and interest are backed by the U.S. Government. Cash equivalents
are carried at cost which approximates fair value, and at times, may exceed
federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in
such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

|    |  | The Leasing Company offers a repair service to several lessees of the
Partnerships containers, whereby the lessee pays an additional rental fee
for the convenience of having the Partnership incur the repair expense for
containers damaged while on lease. This fee is recorded as revenue when
earned according to the terms of the rental contract. An accrual has been
recorded to provide for the estimated costs incurred by this service. This
accrual is a component of net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company
(see note 4). The Partnership is not responsible in the event repair costs
exceed predetermined limits, or for repairs that are required for damages

The Registrant commenced monthly distributions to its partners (general
and limited) from distributable cash from operations beginning in the second
quarter of 1993. Such distributions are allocated 95% to the limited partners
and 5% to the general partner. Sales proceeds will be allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the general partner. The allocations will remain in
effect until such time as the limited partners have received from the
Registrant aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital
contributions plus an 8% cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return on their
adjusted capital contributions. Thereafter, all Partnership distributions will
be allocated 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the general partner.

The Registrant will not pay or reimburse CCC or the Leasing Company for
any remuneration payable by them to their executive officers, directors or any
other controlling persons. However, the Registrant will reimburse the general
partner and the Leasing Company for certain services pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement. These services include but are not limited to (i)
salaries and related salary expenses for services which could be performed
directly for the Registrant by independent parties, such as legal, accounting,
transfer agent, data processing, operations, communications, duplicating and
other such services; and (ii) performing administrative services necessary to
the prudent operations of the Registrant.

The following table sets forth the fees the Registrant paid (on a cash
basis) to CCC or the Leasing Company (CCL) for the year ended December 31,
2001.
