          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.


                                                                     (Continued)

(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, base management
     fees payable, reimbursed administrative expenses and incentive fees payable
     to CCC 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, 1995 and December 31, 1994 were 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, 1995 and December
     31, 1994.

     The Registrant's cash balances at June 30, 1995 included sales proceeds
     from equipment disposals in the amount of $96,380.  The Registrant will
     distribute these sales proceeds and $246,304 of cash from operations during
     the third quarter of 1995, representing distributions to its limited
     partners for the second quarter of 1995.

     Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company remained consistent with
     the December 31, 1994 balance.  However, the reserve for container repairs
     covered by the damage protection plan, a component of net lease
     receivables, declined 30%.  During the first six months of 1995, this
     reserve was impacted by the Registrant's declining fleet size and the
     number of containers covered under the plan.  Deferred lease revenue from
     advance billings on container rentals contributed to a 24% increase in
     direct operating payables and accrued expenses, and offset the decline in
     the damage protection plan reserve.

2)   Material changes in the results of operations between the three and
     six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and the three and six-month periods
     ended June 30, 1994.

     During the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, the container leasing
     market remained consistent with market conditions that existed during the
     three-month period ended March 31, 1995.  The Registrant continued to
     experience the ability to charge higher ancillary revenues, such as pick-up
     fees, and reduce incentives offered to ocean carriers.  However, the
     Registrant remains cautious about any further improvement in market
     conditions during the remainder of 1995.

     The benefits of the improved market conditions experienced during the three
     and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, as compared to the same periods
     in 1994, were partially offset by the effect of the Leasing Company's
     efforts to improve the credit quality of its customer portfolio. In many
     cases, lessees who maintain a strong credit history may command favorable
     lease terms including lower per-diem rental rates.  Accordingly, average
     per-diem rental rates remained steady as compared to the same three and
     six-month periods in 1994, while an increasing proportion of the lessees
     within its portfolio shifted to larger, high credit quality lessees.  The
     Registrant expects to gain long term benefits from the improvement in the
     credit quality of its customers, as the allowance for doubtful accounts and
     related expenses should decline.

     The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and
     six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

     Rental equipment operating expenses, a component of net lease revenue,
     declined approximately 32% and 31% during the three and six-month periods
     ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the
     prior year.  The declining fleet size and higher utilization rates were
     contributing factors to these declines, as well as to the declines in base
     management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses.

     Approximately 18% and 23% of the Registrant's net earnings for the three
     and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, were from gain on
     disposal of equipment, as compared to approximately 30% and 23% for the
     same three and six- month periods in the prior year.  As the Registrant
     accelerates the disposal of its containers in subsequent periods, net gains
     on disposals should contribute significantly to the Registrant's net
     earnings.
