(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     (a)  Nature of Operations

          IEA Income Fund IX, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
          organized under the laws of the State of California on June 8, 1988
          for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers.
          Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general partner and, 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 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.

(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, and reimbursed administrative expenses 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:

(4)  Net Lease Revenue

     Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses,
     management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC 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, 1995 and 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.

     During the first six months of 1995, the Registrant's collection of
     outstanding lease receivables and sales proceeds has been favorable,
     contributing to a $149,306 increase in cash and cash equivalents, and a
     $100,705 decline in net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company.
     Additionally, direct operating payables and accrued expense, a component
     of net lease receivables, increased $66,573.  This increase results from a
     $42,955 increase in accrued operating expenses and a $23,618 increase in
     deferred revenue from advance billings to container lessees.

     The Registrant's cash balances at June 30, 1995 also included sales
     proceeds from equipment disposals in the amount of approximately $12,000.
     The Registrant will distribute this amount and additional sales proceeds
     in subsequent periods, as deemed appropriate by the General Partner.

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, which
     contributed to an increase in the Registrant's gross lease revenues, a
     component of net lease revenues.  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:

</TABLE>


     Rental equipment operating expenses increased 22% and 18% during the three
     and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to
     the same periods in the prior year.  These increases were attributable to
     costs associated with the recovery actions against the doubtful accounts
     of certain lessees, including legal, container recovery expenses and the
     related provision for doubtful accounts.
