                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a) Nature of Operations

          IEA Income Fund XII, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
          organized under the laws of the State of California on August 28, 1991
          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

          The Partnership 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 and the Leasing Company. 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.

          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.



      (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.




                                                                     (Continued)

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


              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 March 31, 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, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates 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-month periods ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1996 and 
      December 31, 1995.

      At March 31, 1996, the Registrant had $2,485,095 in cash and cash
      equivalents, a decrease of $342,407 from the December 31, 1995 cash
      balances. During the first quarter of 1996, the Registrant expended
      $221,850 of cash generated from sales proceeds to pay for containers
      accepted during the fourth quarter of 1995. At March 31, 1996, the
      Registrant had approximately $212,000 in cash generated from equipment
      sales reserved as part of its cash balances. Throughout the remainder of
      1996, the Registrant will continue using cash generated from equipment
      sales to purchase and replace containers which have been lost or damaged
      beyond repair.

      Net lease receivables at March 31, 1996 increased when compared to
      December 31, 1995, as cash collections of outstanding receivables slowed.
      Additionally, a decline in direct operating payables and base management
      fees of $49,800 and $27,834, respectively, also contributed to the
      increase in net lease receivables.

      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 quarter of
      1996. At March 31, 1996, container inventories remained at
      larger-than-usual levels, resulting in a decline in the Registrant's dry
      cargo container utilization rate from 89% at December 31, 1995 to 83% at
      March 31, 1996. The Registrant's refrigerated container utilization rate
      declined from 97% at December 31, 1995 to 91% at March 31, 1996. During
      the first quarter 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. The Leasing Company expects
      the Registrant to recognize the benefits of these efforts during the next
      few quarters of 1996. However, base per-diem rental rates have recently
      become subject to downward pressures within the container leasing market.
      A reduction in per-diem rental rates, combined with current utilization
      levels, could impact the Registrant's results from operations during the
      remainder of 1996.

2)    Material changes in the results of operations between the three-month
      period ended March 31, 1996 and the three-month period ended March 31,
      1995.

      Net lease revenue for the first quarter of 1996 was $1,862,918, a decline
      of approximately 13% from the first quarter of 1995. Gross rental revenue
      (a component of net lease revenue) for the quarter was $2,816,426, a
      decline of 4% from the same period last year. During 1996, gross rental
      revenue was primarily impacted by the Registrant's lower dry cargo and
      refrigerated utilization rates. Average dry cargo container per-diem
      rental rates declined approximately 2% when compared to the same period in
      the prior year. Average refrigerated container per-diem rates declined
      approximately 2% when compared to the same period in the prior year.

      The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the

</TABLE>



      Rental equipment operating expenses were 22% of the Registrant's gross
      lease revenue during the three-month period ended March 31, 1996, as
      compared to 14% during the three-month period ended March 31, 1995. This
      increase was largely attributable to an increase in costs associated with
      lower utilization levels, including handling, storage and repositioning.

      The Registrant disposed of 24 twenty-foot, 15 forty-foot, and two
      high-cube dry cargo containers during the first quarter of 1996, as
      compared to 13 twenty-foot and four forty-foot dry cargo containers during
      the same period in the prior year.
