                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a) Nature of Operations

          IEA Income Fund X, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
          organized under the laws of the State of California on July 18, 1989
          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 statement

      (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)

      (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.

(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, 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:

(4)   Net Lease Revenue

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

      At June 30, 1996, the Registrant had $737,833 in cash and cash
      equivalents, a decrease of $152,850 from the December 31, 1995 cash
      balances. During the first six months of 1996, the Registrant expended
      $63,750 of cash generated from sales proceeds to pay for containers
      accepted during the fourth quarter of 1995. The Registrant has committed
      to purchase an additional 16 forty-foot marine dry-cargo containers during
      the third quarter of 1996, at an aggregate manufacturer's invoice cost of
      $66,080. These containers will be paid for using cash generated from
      equipment sales and reserved as part of its June 30, 1996 cash balances.
      Throughout the remainder of 1996, the Registrant may use cash generated
      from equipment sales to purchase and replace containers which have been
      lost or damaged beyond repair. Amounts not used to purchase and replace
      containers will be distributed to its partners.

      Net lease receivables at June 30, 1996 declined when compared to December
      31, 1995, primarily as a result of the Registrant's declining operating
      results during the first six months of 1996. The Registrant's cash
      distribution from operations and sales proceeds for the second quarter of
      1996 was 9% (annualized) of the limited partners' original capital
      contribution, a decline from the first quarter 1996 distribution of 10%
      (annualized).

      The statements contained in the following discussion are based on current
      expectations. These statements are forward looking and actual results may
      differ materially. The container leasing market generally softened during
      the fourth quarter of 1995 and has remained so during the first six months
      of 1996. At June 30, 1996, container inventories remained at
      larger-than-usual levels, resulting in a decline in the Registrant's
      utilization rate from 88% at December 31, 1995 to 80% at June 30, 1996.
      Base per-diem rates have become subject to downward pressures arising from
      a soft container leasing market. During the first six months of 1996, the
      Leasing Company implemented various marketing strategies, including but
      not limited to, offering incentives to shipping companies and
      repositioning containers to high demand locations in order to counter
      these market conditions. Accordingly, ancillary per-diems have fluctuated,
      favoring a downward trend, while free-day incentives offered to shipping
      companies have risen. Currently, there are no visible signs of
      improvements in the leasing market and hence further downward pressure on
      rental rates can be expected in the ensuing quarters. As a result, these
      leasing markets conditions, combined with the Registrant's disposal of
      containers, will continue to impact the Registrant's results from
      operations during the remainder of 1996.

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.

      Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996
      was $408,225 and $873,492, respectively, a decline of approximately 31%
      and 26% from the same periods in the prior year, respectively. Gross
      rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the three and
      six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 was $700,960 and $1,449,638,
      respectively, a decline of 19% and 14% from the same periods in the prior
      year, respectively. During 1996, gross rental revenue was primarily
      impacted by the Registrant's lower utilization and per-diem rental rates.
      Average per-diem rental rates declined approximately 4% and 3%, when
      compared to the same three and six-month periods in the prior year,
      respectively.

      The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three
      and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were as follows:

         Average Fleet Size (measured in
             twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU))      6,554          6,605          6,563        6,590
         Average Utilization                             79%            90%            80%          90%
</TABLE>

      The Registrant's declining fleet size contributed to a 10% and 9% decline
      in depreciation expense when compared to the same three and six-month
      periods in the prior year, respectively. Rental equipment operating
      expenses were 29% and 27% of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during
      the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as
      compared to 20% and 17% during the three and six-month periods ended June
      30, 1995, respectively. This increase was largely attributable to a
      decline in gross lease revenue resulting from lower per-diem rates, a
      downward trend in ancillary per-diems, and an increase in free-day
      incentives offered to shipping companies. Costs associated with lower
      utilization levels, including handling, storage and repositioning also
      contributed to the increase in the rental equipment operating expenses, as
      a percentage of gross lease revenue. The operating performance of the
      Registrant's fleet contributed to the decline in base management and
      incentive fees, when compared to the same periods in the prior year.
