         Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all
         authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in
         CCC. CCC entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing
         Company had the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all
         equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the
         Leasing Company was responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing
         the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and had full discretion
         over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it dealt
         with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permitted 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 has been accounted
         for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing
         Company is the lessee.

         The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provided that the Leasing Company
         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 of the Partnership's containers were 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.

                                                                     (Continued)

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    (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.

         For comparative purposes, prior year's accounts payable and accrued
         expenses have been reclassified to conform to the current year
         presentation.

(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
June 30, 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, 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 June 30, 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, during the first six months of 1996, gross lease receivables,
    net of doubtful accounts, declined $48,528 from December 31, 1995, while
    direct operating payables and accrued expenses remained consistent. In
    subsequent quarters, the Registrant will refrain 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 terminated.

2)  Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
    six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and the three and six-month periods
    ended June 30, 1995.

    At the beginning of 1995, the Registrant had 1,343 containers remaining in
    its 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 $8,647 and $4,146 during the three
    and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as interest income,
    the Registrant's sole source of income, was in excess of other general and
    administrative expenses. Rental equipment operating expenses, a component of
    net lease revenue, were $12,472 and $12,997 during the three and six-month
    periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. These amounts consisted of costs
    associated with the recovery actions against the doubtful accounts of
    certain lessees, including legal expenses and the provision for doubtful
    accounts. 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.
