                                 June 30, 1995

In the opinion of the  management of PLM Financial  Services,  Inc., the General
Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary,  consisting only of normal recurring accruals,  to present fairly the
Partnership's  financial  position as of June 30, 1995,  and the  statements  of
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, the statements
of changes in  partners'  capital for the period from  December 31, 1993 to June
30,  1995,  and the  statements  of cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1994. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in

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,  1994,  on file at the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.

2.   Equipment

Equipment  held for  operating  leases  is  stated at cost.  The  components  of
equipment are as follows:


                                                  June 30,          December 31,
                                                    1995                1994

Marine containers                                $   365,716        $   417,961
Trailers                                           1,367,335          2,623,993
                                                   1,733,051          3,041,954
Less accumulated depreciation                     (1,371,024)        (2,332,144)

Net equipment                                    $   362,027        $   709,810


All  equipment  owned by the  Partnership  was either on lease or  operating  in
PLM-affiliated  short-term  rental  facilities  as of June  30,  1995.  With the
exception of 24 trailers,  all equipment was either on lease or operating in PLM
affiliated  short-term  rental  facilities as of December 31, 1994. The carrying
value of the off-lease equipment was $224,848 at December 31, 1994.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the  Partnership  sold or disposed of
30  trailers  and 27  marine  containers  with an  aggregate  net book  value of
$286,323 for  proceeds of  $338,662.  During the six months ended June 30, 1994,
the  Partnership  disposed  of four marine  containers  with a net book value of
$2,303 for proceeds of $6,584.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

(A)  Sources

The Partnerships'  primary source of liquidity is operating cash flow.  Proceeds
realized from the sale or disposal of equipment are generally distributed to the
partners.  The  Partnerships'  initial source of capital was proceeds from their
initial public offering of limited partnership units.

(B)  Asset Sales

Equipment sales and dispositions prior to the Partnerships'  planned liquidation
phase generally  result from either the exercise by lessees of fair market value
purchase  options  provided for in certain leases,  or the payment of stipulated
loss  values on  equipment  lost or disposed of during the time it is subject to
lease  agreements.  Such disposal of equipment  results  unpredictably  from the
wear, tear, and general risk of normal  operations.  During the six months ended
June 30, 1995, one trailer and five marine containers owned by TEP IXA were sold
or disposed of for a total of $32,157.  Additionally,  the  Partnership  entered
into a sales-type  lease related to a commuter  aircraft.  The Partnership  will
receive  future lease  payments  totaling  $234,000 with an  additional  balloon
payment of $919,012 at the end of the lease term;  14 trailers  and three marine
containers  owned by TEP IXB were sold for a total of $175,606;  five twin stack
railcars  and three  trailers  owned by TEP IXC were sold for  $520,760;  and 30
trailers and 27 marine  container  owned by TEP IXD were sold or disposed of for
$338,662.

Comparison  of the  Partnership's  Operating  Results for the Three Months Ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994

TEP IXA

(A)  Revenues

Total  revenues of $658,947 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  increased from
$155,051 for the same period in 1994,  due  primarily to a gain  recorded on the
sale of assets  during the second  quarter of 1995,  compared to no sales during
the same period in 1994.

(1) Lease  revenue  decreased  to  $120,131  in the second  quarter  1995,  from
$153,361 in the same period of 1994.  The following  table lists lease  revenues
earned by equipment type:

                                                For the three months ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                  1995             1994

  Trailers                                     $   71,754       $  101,020
  Rail equipment                                   25,950           25,950
  Marine containers                                22,427           26,391

                                               $  120,131       $  153,361

This increase was due primarily to the following:

     (a) Trailer revenue decreased  $29,266 due to the sale of 12 trailers,  one
yardster and one forklift in 1994, and one trailer in 1995;

     (b) Marine  container  revenue  decreased $3,964 due to the disposal of six
marine containers in 1994, and five in 1995, and a decline in utilization of the
reefer fleet from 1994 levels.

(2) For the quarter  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$535,795 on the sale or disposition of three marine  containers and one aircraft
which was structured as a sales-type lease. The

<PAGE>


Partnership  will  receive  future  lease  payments  totaling  $234,000  with an
additional  balloon  payment of $919,012 at the end of the  one-year  lease term
related to the aircraft.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $196,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  decreased from
$231,055  for the same  period  in  1994.  The  decrease  in 1995  expenses  was
attributable   to  decreases  in  all  general  and   administrative   expenses,
depreciation expense, and repairs and maintenance.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  decreased to
$24,308  in 1995,  from  $30,499  in 1994,  due to a  decrease  in  repairs  and
maintenance  for trailers in the  short-term  rental  facilities.  In the second
quarter  of 1994,  repairs  were made on former  term  lease  trailers  prior to
transitioning  into the short-term  rental  facilities.  The decrease in trailer
repair costs was offset,  in part, by an increase in repairs and maintenance due
to the refurbishment on the Partnership's aircraft prior to being sold.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, and all general and administrative  expenses) decreased to $171,692 in the
second  quarter  1995,  from  $200,556 in the same  period in 1994.  This change
resulted primarily from:

     (a) a decrease of $18,959 in general and administrative  expenses from 1994
levels due to lower administrative costs associated with the Partnership;

     (b)  a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $9,906  from  1994  levels
reflecting asset sales or dispositions during 1995 and 1994.

(C)  Net Income (Loss)

The  Partnership's  net income increased to $462,947 in the second quarter 1995,
from a net loss of $76,004 in the same period in 1994. 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 second quarter 1995, is not necessarily
indicative  of future  periods.  In the second  quarter  1995,  the  Partnership
distributed $73,719 to the Limited Partners, or approximately $3.04 per unit.

TEP IXB

(A)  Revenues

Total  revenues of $175,177 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  decreased from
$218,711  for the same  period in 1994 due  primarily  to lower  lease  revenues
offset by a gain  from the sale of  equipment  in the  second  quarter  of 1995,
compared to a loss in the same period in 1994.

(1) Lease  revenue  decreased  to  $115,086  in the second  quarter  1995,  from
$226,054 in the same period in 1994.  The following  table lists lease  revenues
earned by equipment type:


                                                For the three months ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                  1995             1994

  Aircraft                                     $   48,593       $   48,593
  Trailers and tractors                            38,324          111,905
  Rail equipment                                   21,870           57,051
  Marine containers                                 6,299            8,505

                                               $  115,086       $  226,054




<PAGE>


The decline was due primarily to the following:

     (a)  Trailer and tractor  revenue  decreased  $73,581 due to the sale of 13
tractors and six trailers in 1994 and 14 trailers in 1995, offset by an increase
in trailer  revenues as trailers  completed the  transition  from term leases to
operation in the short-term rental facilities.  Trailers operating in short-term
rental facilities generate higher per day revenue than term lease trailers;

     (b) Railcar revenue  decreased  $35,181 due to the sale of the letro porter
in the third quarter of 1994,  and the  off-lease  status of the sidelift at the
beginning of 1995.

(2) For the quarter  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$55,010 on the sale or  disposition  of 13 trailers  and two marine  containers,
compared to the same period in 1994,  where the  Partnership  realized a loss of
$10,724 on the sale or disposal of five trailers and one marine container.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $112,715 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  decreased from
$190,286  for the same  period  in  1994.  The  decrease  in 1995  expenses  was
attributable primarily to decreases in repairs and maintenance,  all general and
administrative expenses, and depreciation.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  decreased to
$9,851 in the second quarter 1995, from $36,539 in the same period in 1994. This
decrease was attributable to the sale of six trailers in 1994 and 14 trailers in
1995 and a decrease in shop repairs for the Partnership's railcars.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, all general and administrative  expenses,  and bad debt expense) decreased
to  $102,864 in the second  quarter  1995,  from  $153,747 in the same period in
1994. This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $26,796  from  1994  levels
reflecting assets sales or dispositions during 1995 and 1994;

     (b) a decrease of $24,086 in general and administrative  expenses from 1994
levels due to lower administrative costs associated with the Partnership.

(C)  Net Income

The  Partnership's  net income of $62,462 in the second quarter 1995,  increased
from a net  income of  $28,425  in the same  period in 1994.  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 second quarter 1995, is not
necessarily  indicative  of future  periods.  In the second  quarter  1995,  the
Partnership distributed $132,561 to the Limited Partners, or approximately $7.59
per unit.

(A)  Revenues

Total  revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  decreased to $177,356 from
$251,418 for the same period in 1994, due primarily to lower lease revenues.

(1) Lease  revenue  decreased  to  $171,549  in the second  quarter  1995,  from
$249,014 in the same period in 1994.  The following  table lists lease  revenues

The decline was due primarily to the following:

     (a) Trailer revenue  decreased  $54,055 in 1995, as compared to 1994 levels
due to lower utilization in the short-term rental facilities in 1995 compared to
1994 levels, and the sale of three trailers in 1995;

     (b) Aircraft revenue  decreased $4,763 in 1995, as compared to 1994 levels,
due to the terms of the original lease  agreement which called for a decrease in
rate for 1995;

     (c) Rail revenue  decreased $18,700 in 1995, as compared to 1994 levels due
to the sale of five twin stack railcars in the first quarter of 1995.

(2) For the quarter  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership  realized a loss of
$1,628 on the sale of three trailers, compared to the same period in 1994, where
the  Partnership  realized  a gain of $505 on the  sale  or  disposal  of  three
trailers and three marine containers.

(3)  Interest  and other  income  increased  $5,536 due to an  increase  in cash
available for short-term investment.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $166,677 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  decreased from
$207,784  for the same  period  in  1994.  The  decrease  in 1995  expenses  was
attributable  to decreases in  depreciation  and all general and  administrative
expenses, offset by increases in repairs and maintenance.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  increased to
$38,325 in the second  quarter  1995,  from  $33,250 in the same period in 1994.
This increase was  attributable to higher  maintenance  expense  incurred on the
increased number of trailers in the short-term  rental facilities as compared to
the same period in 1994, when some rental yard trailers were on net term leases.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, and all general and administrative  expenses) decreased to $128,352 in the
second quarter 1995, from $174,534 in the same period in 1994.

This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a decrease  in general  and  administrative  expenses of $33,388 due to
lower administrative costs associated with the Partnership;

     (b) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $12,794  from  1994  levels
reflecting asset sales during 1995.

(C)  Net Income

The  Partnership's  net income  decreased to $10,679 in the second quarter 1995,
from $43,634 in the same period in 1994. 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  second  quarter  1995,  is  not  necessarily
indicative  of future  periods.  In the second  quarter  1995,  the  Partnership
distributed $548,855 to the Limited Partners, or approximately $32.45 per unit.

(A) Revenues

Total  revenues of $119,409 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995  decreased  from
$145,062 for the same period in 1994,  due  primarily  to lower lease  revenues,
offset by a gain on sale of equipment for the second  quarter of 1995,  compared
to no sales in the same period in 1994.

(1) Lease  revenues  decreased  to  $75,733  in the second  quarter  1995,  from
$140,046 in the same period in 1994.  The  following  table lists lease  revenue
earned by equipment type:

                                                For the three months ended

Lease revenue  decreased $64,427 due primarily to the sale of 30 trailers during
the first and second  quarters  of 1995,  and lower  utilization  in  short-term
rental facilities operated by an affiliate of the General Partner.

(2) For the quarter  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$36,886 on the sale or disposal of six trailers and 19 marine containers.  There
were no sales or disposals for the same period in 1994.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $66,230 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995,  decreased  from
$103,508  for the same  period  in  1994.  The  decrease  in 1995  expenses  was
attributable   primarily  to  decreases   in   depreciation,   all  general  and
administrative expenses, and bad debt expense partially offset by an increase in
repair and maintenance.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  increased to
$10,540 in the second quarter 1995, from $7,344 in the same period in 1994. This
change resulted  primarily from the refurbishment of six trailers prior to being
sold.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, bad debt expense,  and all general and administrative  expenses) decreased
to $55,690 in the second quarter 1995,  from $96,164 in the same period in 1994.
This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $17,902  from 1994  levels,
reflecting asset sales or dispositions during 1995;

     (b) a decrease of $16,612 in general and administrative  expenses from 1994
levels due to lower  administrative  costs associated with the short-term rental
facilities;

     (c) a decrease of $5,670 in bad debt  expense due to the General  Partner's
evaluation of the  collectibility  of trade receivables from trailer rental yard
lessees.

(C)  Net Income

The  Partnership's  net income of $53,179 in the second quarter 1995,  increased
from a net  income of  $41,554  in the same  period in 1994.  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 second quarter 1995, is not
necessarily  indicative  of future  periods.  In the second  quarter  1995,  the
Partnership  distributed  $277,945 to the  Limited  Partners,  or  approximately
$29.17 per unit.

(A)  Revenues

Total  revenues of $792,659 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  increased
from  $267,062 for the same period in 1994,  due primarily to a gain recorded on
the sale of assets during 1995 compared to a loss on assets sales in 1994.

(1) Lease  revenue  decreased to $240,224 in the six months ended June 30, 1995,
from  $268,309  in the same  period of 1994.  The  following  table  lists lease
revenues earned by equipment type:

                                                 For the six months ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                  1995             1994

  Trailers                                     $  142,609       $  166,775
  Rail equipment                                   51,900           44,429
  Marine containers                                45,715           57,105
                                               ----------       ----------
                                               $  240,224       $  268,309

The decline was due primarily to the following:

     (a) Trailer revenue decreased  $24,166 due to the sale of 12 trailers,  one
yardster and one forklift in 1994 and one trailer in 1995;

     (b) Marine container  revenue  decreased $11,390 due to the disposal of six
marine  containers in 1994 and five in 1995, and a decline in utilization of the
reefer fleet from 1994 levels;

     (c) Rail revenue  increased  $7,471 from 1994 levels due to a rental credit
which was given to a current lessee in the first quarter of 1994.

(2) For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$545,340 on the sale or disposition of one trailer, five marine containers,  and
one  commuter  aircraft,  compared  to  the  same  period  in  1994,  where  the
Partnership realized a loss of $4,683 on the sale of nine trailers.  The sale of
the  commuter  aircraft  in the  second  quarter  of 1995  was  structured  as a
sales-type  lease. The Partnership  will receive future lease payments  totaling
$234,000  with an  additional  balloon  payment  of  $919,012  at the end of the
one-year lease term.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $437,211 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  increased
slightly  from  $433,710  for the same  period  in 1994.  The  increase  in 1995
expenses was  attributable  to increases in repairs and  maintenance,  offset by
decreases in depreciation expense and all general and administrative expenses.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  increased to
$105,819 in 1995,  from $66,784 in 1994.  This increase was due primarily to the
refurbishment required on the Partnership's aircraft which came off-lease in the
beginning of 1995.  This  increase was slightly  offset by a decrease in repairs
and maintenance for trailers in the short-term rental  facilities.  In the first
quarter  of 1994,  repairs  were made on former  term  lease  trailers  prior to
transitioning into the short-term rental facilities.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, and all general and administrative  expenses) decreased to $331,392 in the
six months ended June 30, 1995, from $366,926 in the same period in 1994.


<PAGE>


This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $20,163  from  1994  levels
reflecting assets sales or dispositions during 1995 and 1994;

     (b) a decrease of $15,117 in general and administrative  expenses from 1994
levels due to lower administrative costs associated with the Partnership.

(C)  Net Income (Loss)

The  Partnership's net income increased to $355,448 in the six months ended June
30,  1995,  from a net  loss  of  $166,648  in the  same  period  in  1994.  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 six months
ended June 30, 1995, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. In the six
months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership  distributed $147,451 to the Limited
Partners, or approximately $6.07 per unit.

(A)  Revenues

Total  revenues of $344,570 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  decreased
from $472,820 for the same period in 1994 due primarily to lower lease revenue.

(1) Lease  revenue  decreased to $260,644 in the six months ended June 30, 1995,
from  $393,028  in the same  period in 1994.  The  following  table  lists lease
revenues earned by equipment type:

                                                 For the six months ended

  Rail equipment                                   37,897           99,202
  Marine containers                                14,733           18,678
                                               ----------       ----------
                                               $  260,644       $  393,028

The decline was due primarily to the following:

     (a) Railcar revenue  decreased  $61,305 due to the sale of the letro porter
in the third quarter of 1994,  and the  off-lease  status of the sidelift at the
beginning of 1995;

     (b)  Trailer and tractor  revenue  decreased  $67,137 due to the sale of 13
tractors and six trailers in 1994 and 14 trailers in 1995, offset by an increase
in trailer  revenues as trailers  completed the  transition  from term leases to
operation in the short-term rental facilities.  Trailers operating in short-term
rental facilities generate higher per day revenue than term lease trailers.

(2) For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$72,554 on the sale or disposition  of 14 trailers and three marine  containers,
compared to the same period in 1994,  where the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$73,822 on the sale or disposal of eight tractors,  five trailers and one marine
container.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $283,467 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  decreased
from  $357,862 for the same period in 1994.  The  decrease in 1995  expenses was
attributable  primarily to decreases in  depreciation,  repairs and maintenance,
and  management  fees,  offset by  increases  in all general and  administrative
expenses.


<PAGE>


(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  decreased to
$26,857 in the six months ended June 30,  1995,  from $53,273 in the same period
in 1994. This decrease was attributable to a decrease in repairs and maintenance
due to the sale of six trailers in 1994 and 14 trailers in 1995,  and  decreases
in shop repairs for the Partnership's railcars.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, all general and administrative  expenses,  and bad debt expense) decreased
to $256,610 in the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  from  $304,589 in the same
period in 1994. This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $63,412  from  1994  levels
reflecting assets sales or dispositions during 1995 and 1994;

     (b) a decrease in  management  fees to affiliate of $4,105 from 1994 levels
due to lower  levels of  operating  cash flow  during  the  comparable  periods.
Management  fees  are  calculated  as the  greater  of 10% of the  Partnership's
Operating Cash Flow, or 1/2 of 1/2% of the Partnership's  Capital  Contributions
as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement;

     (c) an increase of $19,538 in general and administrative expenses from 1994
levels.  This reflects the increased  administrative  costs  associated with the
short-term  rental  facilities due to increased volume of trailers  operating in
these facilities.

(C)  Net Income

The  Partnership's  net income of $61,103 in the six months ended June 30, 1995,
decreased  from a net  income  of  $114,958  in the same  period  in  1994.  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 six months
ended June 30, 1995, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. In the six
months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership  distributed $365,731 to the Limited
Partners, or approximately $20.95 per unit.

(A)  Revenues

Total  revenues for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  increased to $610,479
from $472,408 for the same period in 1994, due primarily to a gain recorded from
the sale of assets in 1995 compared to a loss on the sale of assets during 1994.

(1) Lease  revenue  decreased to $362,059 in the six months ended June 30, 1995,
from  $468,795  in the same  period in 1994.  The  following  table  lists lease
revenues earned by equipment type:

The decline was due primarily to the following:

     (a) Trailer  revenue  decreased  $74,382 in 1995 as compared to 1994 levels
due  to  lower  utilization  in  the  short-term  rental  facilities,  primarily
refrigerated  trailers,  in 1995 compared to 1994 levels,  and the sale of three
trailers in 1995;

     (b) Aircraft revenue  decreased $9,526 in 1995, as compared to 1994 levels,
due to the terms of the original lease  agreement which called for a decrease in
rate for 1995;


<PAGE>


     (c) Rail revenue  decreased $22,948 in 1995, as compared to 1994 levels due
to the sale of five twin stack railcars in the first quarter of 1995.

(2) For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$234,444 on the sale of three trailers and five twin stack railcars, compared to
the same period in 1994,  where the  Partnership  realized a gain of $486 on the
sale or disposal of two trailers and one marine container.

(3)  Interest  and other  income  increased  $10,849  due to an increase in cash
available for short-term investment.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $361,582 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  decreased
from  $397,169 for the same period in 1994.  The  decrease in 1995  expenses was
attributable   to  decreases  in  all  general  and   administrative   expenses,
depreciation  and  management  fees,  offset  by  an  increase  in  repairs  and
maintenance.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  increased to
$87,283 in the six months ended June 30,  1995,  from $58,140 in the same period
in 1994. This increase was attributable to higher  maintenance  expense incurred
on the increased trailers in the short-term rental facilities as compared to the
same period in 1994 when some rental yard trailers were on net term leases.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, and all general and administrative  expenses) decreased to $274,299 in the
six months ended June 30, 1995, from $339,029 in the same period in 1994.

This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a decrease  in general  and  administrative  expenses of $40,402 due to
lower administrative costs associated with the Partnership;

     (b) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $19,152  from  1994  levels
reflecting asset sales during 1995;

     (c) a decrease in  management  fees to affiliate of $5,176 from 1994 levels
due to lower levels of operating  cash flows  during 1995.  Management  fees are
calculated as the greater of 10% of the  Partnership's  operating  cash flow, or
1/12  of 1/2% of the  Partnership's  Capital  Contributions  as  defined  in the
Limited Partnership Agreement.

(C)  Net Income

The  Partnership's net income increased to $248,897 in the six months ended June
30, 1995, from $75,239 in the same period in 1994. 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 six months ended June 30, 1995, is not
necessarily indicative of future periods. In the six months ended June 30, 1995,
the Partnership  distributed $702,328 to the Limited Partners,  or approximately
$41.52 per unit.

TEP IXD

(A)  Revenues

Total revenues of $223,051 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased from
$281,702  for the same period in 1994 due  primarily  to lower  lease  revenues,
offset by a larger gain on sale of equipment in 1995 compared to 1994.

(1) Lease revenues  decreased to $155,271 in the six months ended June 30, 1995,
from  $268,273  in the same  period in 1994.  The  following  table  lists lease
revenue earned by equipment type:



                                                 For the six months ended
                                                         June 30,
                                                  1995             1994

  Trailers                                     $  114,451       $  232,435
  Marine containers                                40,820           35,838
                                               ----------       ----------
                                               $  155,271       $  268,273

The decrease was due to the following:

     (a) Trailer  revenue  decreased  $117,984  due  primarily to the sale of 30
trailers during the first and second quarters of 1995, and lower  utilization in
short-term rental facilities operated by an affiliate of the General Partner;

     (b) Marine container  revenue increased $4,982 primarily due to an increase
in utilization for dry marine containers from 1994 levels,  offset by a decrease
in revenue due to the disposal of 27 marine containers in 1995 and 24 in 1994.

(2) For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the  Partnership  realized a gain of
$52,339  on the  sale or  disposal  of 30  trailers  and 27  marine  containers,
compared  to the same  period in 1994,  where the  Partnership  realized  a gain
$4,281 on the disposition of four marine containers.

(3)  Interest  and other  income  increased  $6,293 due to an  increase  in cash
available for short-term investment.

(B)  Expenses

Total  expenses of $212,790 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  increased
from  $199,315 for the same period in 1994.  The  increase in 1995  expenses was
attributable primarily to increases in bad debt expense,  repair and maintenance
and all general and  administrative  expenses,  partially offset by decreases in
depreciation and management fees.

(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance)  increased to
$32,419 in the six months ended June 30,  1995,  from $13,903 in the same period
in 1994. This change resulted  primarily from the  refurbishment  of 30 trailers
prior to being sold.

(2) Indirect  operating  expenses (defined as depreciation  expense,  management
fees, bad debt expense,  and all general and administrative  expenses) decreased
to $180,371 in the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  from  $185,412 in the same
period in 1994. This change resulted primarily from:

     (a) a  decrease  in  depreciation  expense  of  $25,468  from 1994  levels,
reflecting asset sales or dispositions during 1995;

     (b) a decrease in  management  fees to affiliate of $8,543 from 1994 levels
due to  changes  in the level of  operating  cash flow  between  the two  years.
Management  fees are calculated  monthly as the greater of 10% of  Partnership's
Operating Cash Flow, or 1/12 of 1/2% of the Partnership's  Capital Contributions
as defined in the Limited Partnership Agreement;

     (c) an increase of $24,355 in bad debt expense due to the General Partner's
evaluation of the  collectibility  of trade receivables from trailer rental yard
lessees;

     (d) an increase of $4,615 in general and administrative  expenses from 1994
levels  due  to  slightly  higher   administrative  costs  associated  with  the
Partnership.

(C)  Net Income

The  Partnership's  net income of $10,261 in the six months ended June 30, 1995,
decreased  from a net  income  of  $82,387  in the  same  period  in  1994.  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 six months
ended June 30, 1995, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. In the six
months ended June 30, 1995, the Partnership  distributed $558,727 to the Limited
Partners, or approximately $58.63 per unit.

Trends

Inflation  and  changing  prices did not  materially  impact  the  Partnerships'
revenues or expenses during the reported periods.
