                           MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION
                           -------------------------


        The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  The Company believes, however, that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading.

        The Board of Directors carries out its responsibility for the financial
statements included herein through its Audit Committee, composed of non-employee
Directors.  During the year, the committee meets periodically with both
management and the independent public accountants to ensure that each is
carrying out its responsibilities.  The independent public accountants have full
and free access to the Audit Committee and meet with its members, with and
without management being present, to discuss auditing and financial reporting
matters.

        These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

        This financial information reflects, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary to present
fairly the results for the interim periods.  The results of operations for such
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

                       XTRA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                       ---------------------------------
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------

(1)  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XTRA
     Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company").  All
     material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  In
     fiscal 1994, the Company adopted an unclassified balance sheet format in
     which no distinction is made between current and long-term assets and
     liabilities.  Certain amounts in the prior periods financial statements
     have been reclassified to be consistent with the current periods
     presentation.

(2)  The Company declared on March 16, 1993 a two-for-one stock split of its
     common stock in the form of a 100% stock dividend.  The stock dividend was
     paid on May 18, 1993 to common stockholders of record on April 27, 1993.
     The stated par value per share of the common stock remained at $.50.  All
     share and per share data presented in these financial statements and notes
     have been restated for the effect of the stock split.

(3)  The computation of primary earnings per common share is based on net
     income after deduction of $1.9375 Series B Cumulative Convertible
     Preferred Stock dividends and dividends on and accretion of issuance costs
     of Series C Cumulative Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock, divided by
     the weighted average number of outstanding common shares plus common stock
     equivalents.  The $1.9375 Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
     was called for redemption by the Company on December 29, 1992.  Fully
     diluted earnings per share assume the conversion of the $1.9375 Series B
     Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock as of the beginning of the periods
     presented for which it is applicable.  Earnings per share have been
     calculated giving retroactive effect to the two-for-one stock split
     described in Note 2 above.

(4)  In October 1993, the Company exercised its option to exchange the
     outstanding Series C shares for subordinated debt with a coupon of 10%.
     This subordinated debt is subject to the following mandatory redemption
     schedule: $7.5 million on October 1, 1995, $7.5 million on October 1, 1996
     and $15.0 million on October 1, 1997.  The Company has the option to
     prepay the issue in whole or in part on October 1, 1994 or thereafter.
     The holders of the subordinated notes have the option to require the
     Company to redeem the  issue in whole or in part on January 1, 1995 or
     thereafter.

(5)  The effective income tax rates used in the interim financial statements
     are estimates of the fiscal years' rates.  The effective income tax rate
     for fiscal year 1993 was 48% reflecting the required restatement of
     deferred tax liabilities and assets as a result of the higher tax rate
     associated with the enactment, in August 1993, of the Revenue
     Reconciliation Bill of 1993.  Absent the required adjustment for prior
     years, the effective income tax rate for 1993 would have been
     approximately 41%.  For the six months ended March 31, 1993, the Company
     recorded a provision for income taxes using an estimated effective income
     tax rate of approximately 40%.  For the six months ended March 31, 1994,
     the Company has recorded a provision for income taxes using an estimated
     effective income tax rate of approximately 42%.

     The Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal 1993 and its estimated
     effective income tax rate for fiscal 1994 are higher than the statutory
     U.S. Federal income tax rate due primarily to state income taxes.

(6)  On April 27, 1994, the Company agreed to acquire, pursuant to an asset
     purchase agreement, substantially all of the assets of Caravan Trailer
     Rental Co., Ltd., a Canadian lessor of transportation equipment, for
     approximately $35 million plus the assumption of certain equipment
     purchase orders. The final purchase price is subject to certain 
     adjustments. The acquisition will add approximately 4,500 units, primarily
     over-the-road trailers,  to the Company's fleet. The acquisition is
     expected to close in June 1994, and is subject to conditions typical in
     such transactions.

(7)  On May 3, 1994, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.14 per
     share, payable on May 31, 1994 to common stockholders of record on May 16,
     1994.

Versus the Second Quarter of 1993
- - ---------------------------------

Revenues
- - --------

     Revenues are generated by two leasing divisions, XTRA Lease which includes
over-the-road trailers as well as storage trailers and XTRA Intermodal which
includes intermodal trailers, chassis and domestic containers.  Revenues are
primarily a function of fleet size, utilization and lease rates.

     Revenues increased by 8% or $5.9 million for the three months ended March
31, 1994, over the same period a year ago.  XTRA Lease revenues increased by
10% or $4.3 million primarily due to an increase in working units despite a
smaller average fleet size due mainly to increased demand for the Company's
over-the-road equipment.  XTRA Intermodal revenues increased by 5% or $1.6
million primarily due to an increase in average lease rates as well as gains
realized from the sale of older equipment.

<TABLE>
     The following table sets forth, for each division, average equipment
utilization and average fleet size in units (including units held under
operating leases) during the three months ended March 31:

Operating Expenses
- - ------------------

     Total operating expenses decreased by 2% or $1.1 million from the second
quarter of fiscal 1993.
     Depreciation expense increased by 1% or $.3 million primarily due to the
purchase of previously leased in units offset by a reduction in the Company's
overall fleet size.
     Rental equipment lease financing expense decreased by 59% or $2.2 million
primarily due to the purchase of units previously leased in.
     Rental equipment operating expense increased by 7% or $1.3 million due
principally to higher expenses related to higher equipment utilization. This
increase was offset by cost savings realized from the consolidation of branches
acquired with the Strick Lease business.
      Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 6% or $.5 million due
principally to cost savings realized from the integration of the Strick Lease
business.


Interest Expense
- - ----------------

     Net interest expense decreased by 22% or $2.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1994, primarily due to a decrease in average net debt
outstanding.


Income from Operations Before
- - -----------------------------
Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------

     Pretax income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994,
increased by 80% or $9.3 million over the same period of the prior year due
primarily to higher equipment utilization, reduced interest expense and cost
savings realized from combining two large over-the-road leasing businesses.

Operating Expenses
- - ------------------

     Total operating expenses decreased by 3% or $2.8 million from the same
period of fiscal 1993.
     Depreciation expense decreased by 1% or $.4 million primarily due to a
reduction in the Company's overall fleet size.
     Rental equipment lease financing expense decreased by 30% or $2.2 million
primarily due to the purchase of units previously leased in.
     Rental equipment operating expense increased by 3% or $1.3 million due
principally to higher expenses related to higher equipment utilization.  This
increase was offset by cost savings realized from the consolidation of branches
acquired with the Strick Lease business.
     Selling and administrative expenses decreased by 9% or $1.5 million due
principally to cost savings realized from the integration of the Strick Lease
business.


Interest Expense
- - ----------------

     Net interest expense decreased by 20% or $4.2 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1994, primarily due to a decrease in average net debt
outstanding.


Income from Operations Before
- - -----------------------------
Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------

     Pretax income from operations for the six months ended March 31, 1994,
increased by 43% or $14.4 million over the same period of the prior year due
primarily to higher equipment utilization, reduced interest expense and cost
savings realized from combining two large over- the-road leasing businesses.


Provision for Income Taxes
- - --------------------------

     The effective income tax rates used in the interim financial statements
are estimates of the fiscal years' rates.  The effective income tax rate for
fiscal year 1993 was 48% reflecting the required restatement of deferred tax
liabilities and assets as a result of the higher tax rate 

                                      14
<PAGE>   15
associated with the enactment, in August 1993, of the Revenue Reconciliation
Bill of 1993. Absent the required adjustment for prior years, the effective
income tax rate for 1993 would have been approximately 41%.  For the six months
ended March 31, 1993, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes using
an estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 40%.  For the six
months ended March 31, 1994, the Company has recorded a provision  for income
taxes using an estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 42%.

     The Company's effective income tax rate for fiscal 1993 and its estimated
effective income tax rate for fiscal 1994 are higher than the statutory U.S.
Federal income tax rate due primarily to state income taxes.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

     During the six months ended March 31, 1994, the Company generated cash
flows from operations of $113.3 million and reduced net debt outstanding (debt
less cash) by $31.0 million. For purposes of determining the reduction of net
debt outstanding, the Series C Preferred Stock is considered debt at September
30, 1993.  During the same period XTRA invested $77.9 million in property and
equipment and paid dividends of $4.4 million.

     Committed capital expenditures for fiscal 1994 currently amount to
approximately $190 million including the exercise by XTRA of $24 million in
purchase options for equipment already in the fleet.  These amounts are
exclusive of the proposed acquisition of the assets of Caravan
Trailer Rental Co. Ltd. (see Note 6).

     On January 14, 1994, the Company amended one of its Revolving Credit
Agreements to extend the agreement by one year and increase the banks' lending
commitment from $65 million to $90 million.  This increase brings the total
bank commitments under the Company's two revolving credit agreements to $180
million.

     At April 30th, 1994 the Company had $125 million of unused credit
available under its Revolving Credit Agreements.

     In April 1994, the Company issued $30 million of Medium Term Notes at a
weighted average rate of 7.3% and a weighted average life of 5.8 years.

Note:    The 1.9375 Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock shares
         are not common stock equivalents since they were issued to yield 7.75%
         which is more than 2/3 of the average Aa corporate bond yield (2/3 of 
         9.68% = 6.45%) on the day of issuance. However they do enter into the 
         computation of fully diluted earnings per share because of potential 
         dilution.
