Item 5 - Other Events:

On November 7, 2000, XTRA Corporation issued a corrected press release
disclosing certain financial information for the fourth fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2000 because of a minor error on the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows. The correct amount for Cash Used for Financing
Activities is $36 million and therefore the decrease in Net Debt Outstanding is
$64 million.
