NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1997
1. Opinion of Management
In the opinion of the management of PLM Financial Services, Inc. (the General
Partner), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, to
present fairly the financial position of PLM Transportation Equipment Partners
IXA 1986 Income Fund (the Partnership) as of September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, the statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996, the statements of changes in partners' capital for the period
from December 31, 1995 to September 30, 1997, and the statements of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted from the accompanying financial statements. For further information,
reference should be made to the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996, on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Equipment
The components of equipment are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
September 30, December 31,
1997 1996
------------------------------------
<S> <C> <C>
Trailers $ 1,262,727 $ 2,357,296
Marine containers 1,022,935 1,128,798
------------------------------------
2,285,662 3,486,094
Less accumulated depreciation (2,162,733 ) (3,140,358 )
------------------------------------
Net equipment $ 122,929 $ 345,736
====================================
</TABLE>
With the exception of one trailer, all equipment was either on lease or
operating in PLM-affiliated short-term rental facilities as of September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996. The net carrying value of this trailer was $8,617
and $28,433, respectively, as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold or
disposed of marine containers and trailers with an aggregate book value of
$112,153 for proceeds of $235,764. During the nine months ended September 30,
1996, the Partnership sold or disposed of marine containers, trailers, and
railcars with an aggregate book value of $130,096 for proceeds of $464,899. In
addition, additional proceeds of $2,629 were received for the commuter aircraft
which was under a sales-type lease.
3. Liquidation and Special Distributions
During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership completed its 10th year of
operations. As originally anticipated by the General Partner, the Partnership
will be liquidated in an orderly manner in its 11th and 12th years of operation.
The General Partner is actively marketing the remaining equipment portfolio with
the intent of maximizing sale proceeds. As sale proceeds are received the
General Partner intends to periodically declare special distributions to
distribute the sale proceeds to the partners. During the liquidation phase of
the Partnership the equipment will continue to be leased under operating leases
until sold. Operating cash flows, to the extent they exceed Partnership
expenses, will continue to be
<PAGE>

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

3. Liquidation and Special Distributions (continued)
distributed on a quarterly basis to the partners. The amounts reflected for
assets and liabilities of the Partnership have not been adjusted to reflect
liquidation values. The equipment portfolio continues to be carried at the lower
of depreciated cost or fair value less cost to dispose. Although the General
Partner estimates that there will be distributions after liquidation of assets
and liabilities, the amounts cannot be accurately determined prior to actual
liquidation of the equipment. Any excess proceeds over expected Partnership
obligations will be distributed to the Partners throughout the liquidation
period. Upon final liquidation, the Partnership will be dissolved.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the General Partner
paid special distributions of $10.00 and $44.84, respectively, per
weighted-average limited partnership unit which were the result of proceeds from
the sale of equipment. During the liquidation phase, the Partnership is not
permitted to reinvest proceeds from sales or liquidations of equipment. These
proceeds, in excess of operational cash requirements, are periodically paid out
to the partners in the form of special distributions. The sales and liquidations
occur because of equipment destructions, the determination by the General
Partner that it is the appropriate time to maximize the return on an asset
through the sale of that asset, and, in some leases, the ability of the lessee
to exercise purchase options.
4. Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.

not permitted to reinvest proceeds from sales or liquidations of equipment.
These proceeds, in excess of operational cash requirements, are periodically
paid out to the partners in the form of special distributions. The sales and
liquidations occur because of equipment destructions, the determination by the
General Partner that it is the appropriate time to maximize the return on an
asset through the sale of that asset, and, in some leases, the ability of the
lessee to exercise purchase options.

Partner), the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments necessary, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, to
present fairly the financial position of PLM Transportation Equipment Partners
IXC 1986 Income Fund (the Partnership) as of September 30, 1997 and December 31,
1996, the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997 and 1996, the statements of changes in partners' capital for the period
from December 31, 1995 to September 30, 1997, and the statements of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted from the accompanying financial statements. For further information,
reference should be made to the financial statements and notes thereto included
in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1996, on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

====================================
</TABLE>
All of the equipment was either on lease or operating in PLM-affiliated
short-term rental facilities as of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold or
disposed of trailers with a net book value of $93,684 for proceeds of $253,950.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership sold or
disposed of trailers and a marine container with a net book value of $39,915 for
proceeds of $61,808.
3. Liquidation and Special Distributions
During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership completed its 10th year of
operations. As originally anticipated by the General Partner, the Partnership
will be liquidated in an orderly manner in its 11th and 12th years of operation.
The General Partner is actively marketing the remaining equipment portfolio with
the intent of maximizing sale proceeds. As sale proceeds are received the
General Partner intends to periodically declare special distributions to
distribute the sale proceeds to the partners. During the

3. Liquidation and Special Distributions (continued)
liquidation phase of the Partnership the equipment will continue to be leased
under operating leases until sold. Operating cash flows, to the extent they
exceed Partnership expenses, will continue to be distributed on a quarterly
basis to partners. The amounts reflected for assets and liabilities of the
Partnership have not been adjusted to reflect liquidation values. The equipment
portfolio continues to be carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value
less cost to dispose. Although the General Partner estimates that there will be
distributions after liquidation of assets and liabilities, the amounts cannot be
accurately determined prior to actual liquidation of the equipment. Any excess
proceeds over expected Partnership obligations will be distributed to the
Partners throughout the liquidation period. Upon final liquidation, the
Partnership will be dissolved.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the General Partner
paid special distributions of $21.10 and $17.56, respectively, per
weighted-average limited partnership unit which were the result of proceeds from
equipment liquidations. During the liquidation phase, the Partnership is not
permitted to reinvest proceeds from sales or liquidations of equipment. These
proceeds, in excess of operational cash requirements, are periodically paid out
to the partners in the form of special distributions. The sales and liquidations
occur because of equipment destructions, the determination by the General
Partner that it is the appropriate time to maximize the return on an asset
through the sale of that asset, and, in some leases, the ability of the lessee
to exercise purchase options.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(I) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the Partnership's Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996
TEP IXA
(A) Revenues
Total revenues of $105,214 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, decreased
from $392,472 for the same period in 1996, due primarily to lower gain on the
disposition on equipment and lower lease revenues.
(1) Lease revenue decreased to $67,946 in the third quarter 1997, from $97,143
in the same period of 1996. The following table lists lease revenues earned by
equipment type:
For the Three Months Ended
September 30,
1997 1996
-------------------------------
Trailers $ 43,048 $ 73,480
Marine containers 24,898 16,072
Rail equipment -- 7,591
------------------------------
$ 67,946 $ 97,143
==============================
The decline was due primarily to the following:
(a) Trailer revenue decreased $30,432 due primarily to the sale of trailers
during 1997 and 1996, and lower utilization in short-term rental facilities
operated by an affiliate of the General Partner.
(b) Container revenue increased $8,826 due to the net increase in lease
revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, compared to the same quarter
of 1996.
(c) No railcar revenue was earned in the third quarter of 1997 due to the
sale of all the Partnership's railcars during 1996.
(2) For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of
$34,479 on the sale or disposition of trailers and a marine container, compared
to the same period in 1996, when the Partnership realized a gain of $292,451 on
the disposition of railcars, marine containers, and a trailer.
(B) Expenses
Total expenses of $92,862 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, decreased
from $105,426 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in expenses in the third
quarter of 1997 was attributable to decreases in depreciation expense and
repairs and maintenance, and general and administrative expenses, partially
offset by an increase in provision for (recovery of) bad debt.
(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance) decreased to
$9,125 in the third quarter of 1997, from $19,772 in the third quarter of 1996,
due primarily to the sale of equipment during 1997 and 1996.
<PAGE>
(2) Indirect operating expenses (defined as depreciation expense, management
fees, general and administrative expenses, and provision for (recovery of) bad
debt) decreased to $83,737 in the third quarter 1997, from $85,654 in the same
period in 1996. This change resulted primarily from:
(a) a $15,351 decrease in depreciation expense reflecting asset sales or
dispositions during 1997 and 1996.
(b) a $6,438 decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects the
decreased administrative costs related to short-term rental facilities due to
sale of equipment.
(c) a $19,872 increase in bad debt expense due to the General Partner's
evaluation of the collectibility of trade receivables.
(C) Net Income
As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership's net income of $12,352 in the
third quarter 1997, decreased from $287,046 in the same period in 1996. The
Partnership's ability to operate or liquidate assets, secure leases, and
re-lease those assets whose leases expire during the duration of the Partnership
is subject to many factors, and the Partnership's performance in the third
quarter 1997, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. In the third
quarter of 1997, no regular distributions were made but the Partnership
distributed a special distribution of $121,425 to the limited partners, or
approximately $5.00 per weighted-average limited partnership unit.

$117,376 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from $149,306 in the same
period in 1996. This change resulted primarily from:
(a) a $33,547 decrease in general and administrative expenses from 1996
levels due to lower administrative costs related to the short-term rental
facilities due to the sale of equipment.
(b) a $18,173 decrease in depreciation expense from 1996 levels, reflecting
asset sales or dispositions during 1997 and 1996.
(3) a $19,790 increase in bad debt expense due to the General Partner's
evaluation of the collectibility of trade receivables.
(C) Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership's net income of $38,357 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to a net loss of $16,106 in
the same period in 1996. The Partnership's ability to operate or liquidate
assets, secure leases, and re-lease those assets whose leases expire during the
duration of the Partnership is subject to many factors, and the Partnership's
performance in the nine months ended September 30, 1997, is not necessarily
indicative of future periods. In the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the
Partnership distributed $113,653 to the limited partners, or approximately
$11.93 per weighted-average limited partnership unit which included a special
distribution of $10.00 per weighted-average limited partnership unit.

IXC, and TEP IXD, respectively.
