IEA MARINE CONTAINER FUND
(A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND DECEMBER 31, 1994
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a) Nature of Operations
IEA Marine Container Fund (A California Limited Partnership) (the
"Partnership") was organized under the laws of the State of California
on April 26, 1979 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo
containers. The managing general partner is Cronos Capital Corp.
("CCC"); the associate general partner is Smith Barney Shearson, Inc.
CCC, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing
Company"), manages and controls the business of the Partnership.
(b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement
Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all
authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in
CCC. CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement 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. The Leasing Company leases
containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which
are either master leases or term leases (mostly two 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; 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.
(c) Basis of Accounting
The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is
recognized when earned.
(d) Financial Statement Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form
10-K.
The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all
adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition
and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

(2) Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company
Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by
deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, and base
management fees payable to CCC, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates
from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership
under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the
Partnership. Net lease receivables at September 30, 1995 and December 31,
1994 were as follows:

(3) Net Lease Revenue
Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses and
management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company, from the rental revenue
billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for
the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, was as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the
Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
1) Material changes in financial condition between September 30, 1995 and
December 31, 1994.
As discussed in prior quarterly reports, the Managing General Partner has
focused its efforts on liquidating the remaining equipment in the fleet and
winding up the Registrant's operations. Accordingly, during the first nine
months of 1995, the Registrant disposed of 312 containers, equal to
approximately 7% of its original fleet. Of this amount, 178 containers were
sold during the second quarter of 1995, pursuant to an agreement with an
unrelated party. The purchase price of these 178 containers totaled
$130,789, which equaled approximately 105% of the containers' net book
value. The proceeds from this and other container sales have been retained
as part of working capital, ensuring the availability of sufficient cash
balances during the period preceding the wind up of operations, as cash
expenditures for investor processing, tax, legal and audit services, should
be in excess of cash generated from operations. At September 30, 1995, the
Registrant's remaining fleet consisted of 13 containers. These remaining
containers have been targeted for disposal during the fourth quarter of
1995.
The diminishing fleet size contributed to declines in the Registrant's
lease receivables, direct operating payables and accrued expenses, and the
reserve for container repairs covered under the damage protection plan.
During the fourth quarter of 1995, a concentrated effort will be made to
collect the Registrant's remaining lease receivables and extinguish its
remaining payables, with the intent to wind up the Registrant's operations
by December 31, 1995 or early 1996.
2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and the three and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1994.
During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995,
approximately 4% and 22%, respectively, of the Registrant's earnings were
from gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 45% and 32% for the same
periods in the prior year. Net lease revenues were lower as a direct result
of these disposals.
Gross rental revenue, a component of net lease revenue, declined 62% and
28% for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995,
respectively, when compared to the same periods in 1994. Rental equipment
operating expenses decreased 78% and 22% over the same three and nine-month
periods in the prior year. These declines were attributable to the
Registrant's diminishing fleet size. Rental equipment operating expenses
consisted of, but were not limited to, costs associated with the recovery
actions against the doubtful accounts of certain lessees, including legal
and container recovery expenses, as well as the related provision for
doubtful accounts.
The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended

Average Fleet Size (measured in
twenty-foot equivalents (TEU)) 24 514 211 590
Average Utilization 53% 71% 64% 74%
</TABLE>
During the remaining period in the wind up phase of operations, the
Registrant expects to incur net losses, as certain costs including investor
processing, tax, legal and audit expenses, should be in excess of net lease
revenues generated from operations. The Registrant has increased its cash
reserves in anticipation of these expected losses.
