IEA MARINE CONTAINER FUND
(A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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 releasing 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.
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
the Partnership's receivables and revenues.

(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 preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 reported period.
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 March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
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-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, was

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 March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995.
As discussed in the Registrant's report for the year ended December 31,
1995, the Registrant's remaining containers were disposed of during 1995.
The Registrant is currently in the final phase of the liquidation and wind
up stage of operations, focusing on the collection of its lease
receivables and payment of its direct operating payables and accrued
expenses. Accordingly, gross lease receivables and direct operating
payables and accrued expenses declined $7,798 and $7,836, respectively,
from December 31, 1995. During the first quarter of 1996, the Registrant
refrained from distributing cash generated from operations and sales
proceeds to its partners, reserving all excess cash as part of its working
capital in order to maintain sufficient cash reserves for expenses
relating to its final liquidation and subsequent dissolution. The
Registrant anticipates that after the remaining net lease receivables and
liabilities are collected and discharged during 1996, or as soon as
practicable, the Registrant will undertake a final distribution to its
partners and proceed to cancel the Certificate of Limited Partnership. The
Partnership will then be dissolved.
2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three-month
period ended March 31, 1996 and the three-month period ended March 31,
1995.
At the beginning of 1995, the Registrant had 325 containers remaining in
the fleet. These containers were disposed of during 1995. Accordingly, the
Registrant's container operations ceased during the fourth quarter of
1995. The Registrant experienced a net loss of $2,327 during the first
quarter of 1996, as other general and administrative expenses were in
excess of interest income, the Registrant's sole source of income. During
the remaining period in the wind up phase of operations, the Registrant
expects to incur net losses, as certain other general and administrative
expenses including investor processing, tax, legal, and audit expenses,
should be in excess of any other income generated by the Registrant.
