Item 1. Business
(a) General Development of Business
The Registrant 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, special purpose containers and container related
equipment. The Registrant was initially capitalized with $100, and commenced
offering its limited partnership interests to the public subsequent to December
2, 1991, pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 33-42697).
The Registrant had no securities holders as defined by the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 as of December 31, 1991. The offering broke initial impound
on January 31, 1992. The offering terminated on November 30, 1992.
The Registrant raised $70,271,880 in subscription proceeds. The following

The general partner of the Registrant is Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cronos Holdings/Investments (U.S.), Inc., a Delaware
corporation, which is in turn a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cronos Investments
B.V., a Dutch company. These and other affiliated companies are ultimately
wholly-owned by The Cronos Group, a holding company registered in Luxembourg
("Holding Company") and are collectively referred to as the "Group". The
activities of the container division of the Group are managed through the
Group's subsidiary in the United Kingdom, Cronos Containers Limited ("the
Leasing Company"). The Leasing Company manages the leasing operations of all
equipment owned or managed by the Group on its own behalf or on behalf of other
third-party container owners, including all other programs organized by CCC.
On January 1, 1992, the Leasing Company entered into a Leasing Agent
Agreement with the Registrant assuming the responsibility for all container
leasing activities.
For information concerning the containers acquired by the Registrant, see
Item 2, "Properties."

(c) Narrative Description of Business
(c)(1)(i) A marine cargo container is a reusable metal container designed
for the efficient carriage of cargo with a minimum of exposure to loss from
damage or theft. Containers are manufactured to conform to worldwide standards
of container dimensions and container ship fittings adopted by the International
Standards Organization ("ISO") in 1968. The standard container is either 20'
long x 8' wide x 8'6" high (one twenty-foot equivalent unit ("TEU"), the
standard unit of physical measurement in the container industry) or 40' long x
8' wide x 8'6" high (two TEU). Standardization of the construction, maintenance
and handling of containers allows containers to be picked up, dropped off,
stored and repaired effectively throughout the world. This standardization is
the foundation on which the container industry has developed.
Standard dry cargo containers are rectangular boxes with no moving parts,
other than doors, and are typically made of steel. They are constructed to carry
a wide variety of cargos ranging from heavy industrial raw materials to
lightweight finished goods. Specialized containers include, among others,
refrigerated containers for the transport of temperature-sensitive goods and
tank containers for the carriage of liquid cargo. Dry cargo containers
constitute approximately 85% of the worldwide container fleet. Refrigerated and
tank containers constitute approximately 7% of the worldwide container fleet,
with open-tops and other specialized containers constituting the remainder.
One of the primary benefits of containerization has been the ability of the
shipping industry to effectively lower freight rates due to the efficiencies
created by standardized intermodal containers. Containers can be handled much
more efficiently than loose cargo and are typically shipped via several modes of
transportation, including truck, railway and ship. Containers require loading
and unloading only once and remain sealed until arrival at the final
destination, significantly reducing transport time, labor and handling costs and
losses due to damage and theft. Efficient movement of containerized cargo
between ship and shore reduces the amount of time that a ship must spend in port
and reduces the transit time of freight moves.
The logistical advantages and reduced freight rates brought about by
containerization have been a major catalyst for world trade growth during the
last twenty-five years, which in turn has generated increased demand for
containerization. The world container fleet has grown from an estimated 270,000
TEU in 1969 to 9,198,000 TEU at the end of 1995, and according to recent
industry data, growth of containerized shipping since 1987 has generally
averaged two to three times that of average GDP growth in industrialized
countries.
3
<PAGE> 4
The Registrant believes that growth of containerization will continue to
outpace GDP growth and the growth in world trade over the next five years for
the following reasons:
- Lower freight rates resulting from containerization are generating new
cargos that previously were not economical to export. Containerization
provides inexpensive, timely and secure transport to manufacturers
allowing them to take advantage of regional opportunities in technology
or labor, and to move products to different locations at various stages
of production;
- Intermodal traffic is expected to continue to grow, and industrialized
countries are continuing to improve intermodal infrastructure (i.e.,
railways, roads and ports);
- Shippers continue to demand transportation of cargo by containers rather
than break-bulk;
- Countries with rapidly-growing economies in emerging markets are
continuing to build new container port facilities that accommodate an
increased flow of containerized trade; and
- Recent trade agreements, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement
("NAFTA") and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT"), should
further stimulate world trade, and, therefore containerized trade.
The container leasing industry has been a significant contributor to the
growth of containerization, and, in 1995, had an approximately 47% share of the
total world container fleet with ocean carriers holding most of the remainder.
To an ocean carrier, the primary benefits of leasing rather than owning
containers are the following:
- Reduced Capital Expenditures. Leasing is an attractive option to ocean
carriers because ownership of containers requires significant capital
expenditures. Carriers constantly evaluate their investment strategy,
with container purchasing competing directly with other expenditure
requirements, such as ship purchases, ship conversions and terminal
improvements. Container leasing allows ocean carriers to invest capital
in assets that are more central to their business.
- Improved Asset Management. Trade flow imbalances and seasonal demands
frequently leave ocean carriers with regional surpluses or shortages of
containers, requiring costly repositioning of empty containers. Leasing
companies help ocean carriers manage these trade imbalances by providing
the inventory to service demand, reducing the costs of maintaining local
inventories and minimizing repositioning expenses. By matching different
carriers' container needs, leasing companies can reduce their own risks
of container inventory imbalances and seasonality through a portfolio of
lessees as well as variations in lease terms.
- Increased Container Fleet Flexibility. Ocean carriers benefit from the
variety of lease types offered by leasing companies such as the master
lease, long-term and short-term lease and direct financing lease. These
various leases give ocean carriers flexibility in sizing their fleets
while minimizing capital costs. For example, master lease agreements give
ocean carriers the option of adjusting the size of their fleets, with the
flexibility to pick-up and drop-off containers at various locations
around the world.
Dry cargo containers are the most-commonly used type of container in the
shipping industry. The Registrant's dry cargo container fleet is constructed of
all Corten(R) steel (Corten(R) roofs, walls, doors and undercarriage), a
high-tensile steel yielding greater damage and corrosion resistance than mild
steel.
Refrigerated containers are used to transport temperature-sensitive products
such as meat, fruit, vegetables and photographic film. All of the Registrant's
refrigerated containers have high-grade stainless steel interiors. The
Registrant's 20-foot refrigerated containers have high-grade stainless steel
walls, while the Registrant's 40-foot refrigerated containers are steel framed
with aluminum outer walls to reduce weight. As with the dry cargo containers,
all refrigerated containers are designed to minimize repair and maintenance and
maximize damage resistance. The Registrant's refrigerated containers are
designed and manufactured to include the latest generation refrigeration
equipment, with modular microprocessors controlling and monitoring the
container.
4
<PAGE> 5
The Registrant's containers are leased primarily to ocean-going steamship
companies operating in major trade routes (see Item 1(d)). Most if not all of
the Registrant's marine dry cargo containers are leased pursuant to operating
leases, primarily master leases, where the containers are leased to the ocean
carrier on a daily basis for any desired length of time, with the flexibility of
picking up and dropping off containers at various agreed upon locations around
the world and, secondarily, term leases (1-5 years) and one-way or round-trip
leases. Special purpose containers acquired by the Registrant, including
refrigerated containers, are generally committed to term leases, where the high
cost of interchanging the higher value specialized container makes master lease
agreements less attractive to customers.
Master lease agreements. A master lease is designed to provide greater
flexibility by allowing customers to pick-up and drop-off containers where and
when needed, subject to restrictions and availability, on pre-agreed terms. The
commercial terms of master leases are generally negotiated annually. Master
leases also define the number of containers that may be returned within each
calendar month and the return locations and applicable drop-off charges. Because
of the increased flexibility they offer, master leases usually command higher
per-diem rates and generate more ancillary fees (including pick-up, drop-off,
handling and off-hire fees) than term leases.
Term lease agreements. Term lease agreements include short-term and
long-term leases. Long-term lease agreements define the number of containers to
be leased, the pick-up and drop-off locations, the applicable per-diem rate for
the duration of the lease and the early termination penalties that may apply in
the event of early redelivery. Ocean carriers use long-term leases when they
have a need for identified containers for a specified term. Long-term leases
usually are not terminated early by the customer and provide stable and
relatively predictable sources of revenue, although per-diem rates and ancillary
charges are lower under long-term leases than under master lease agreements.
Short-term lease agreements have a duration of less than one year and include
one-way, repositioning and round-trip leases. They differ from master leases in
that they define the number and the term of containers to be leased. Ocean
carriers use one-way leases to manage trade imbalances (where more containerized
cargo moves in one direction than another) by picking up a container in one port
and dropping it off at another after one or more legs of a voyage. Except for
direct financing leases, lease rates typically are highest for short-term
leases.
Under these leases, customers are responsible for paying all taxes and
service charges arising from container use, maintaining the containers in good
and safe operating condition while on lease and paying for repairs upon
redelivery, other than ordinary wear and tear. Some leases provide for a "damage
protection plan" whereby lessees, for an additional payment (which may be in the
form of a higher per-diem rate), are relieved of the responsibility of paying
some of the repair costs upon redelivery of the containers. The Leasing Company
has historically provided this service on a limited basis to selected customers.
Repairs provided under such plans are carried out by the same depots, under the
same procedures, as are repairs to containers not covered by such plans.
Customers also are required to insure leased containers against physical damage
and loss, and against third party liability for loss, damage, bodily injury or
death.
All containers are inspected and repaired when redelivered by a customer,
and customers are obligated to pay for all damage repair, excluding wear and
tear, according to standardized industry guidelines. Depots in major port areas
perform repair and maintenance which is verified by independent surveyors or the
Leasing Company's technical and operations staff.
The non-cancelable terms of the operating leases of the Registrant's
containers are not sufficient to return to the Registrant as lessor the purchase
price of the equipment. In order to recover the original investment in the
equipment and achieve an adequate return thereon, it is necessary to renew the
lease, lease the equipment to another lessee at the end of the initial lease
term, or sell the equipment.
The Registrant estimates that a dry cargo or refrigerated container may be
used as a leased marine cargo container for a period ranging from 10 to 15
years. The Registrant disposes of used containers in a worldwide market for used
containers in which buyers include wholesalers, mini-storage operators,
construction companies and others. The market for used refrigerated containers
is not as developed as the market for used dry cargo containers. Although a used
refrigerated container will command a higher price than a dry cargo container, a
dry cargo container will bring a higher percentage of its original price. As the
Registrant's fleet ages, a larger proportion of its revenues will be derived
from selling its containers.

The Leasing Company will make payments to the Registrant based upon rentals
collected from ocean carriers after deducting certain operating expenses
associated with the containers, such as the base management fee payable to the
Leasing Company, certain expense reimbursements to CCC, the Leasing Company, and
its affiliates, the costs of maintenance and repairs not performed by lessees,
independent agent fees and expenses, depot expenses for handling, inspection and
storage, and additional insurance.
The Registrant's sales and marketing operations are conducted through the
Leasing Company, in the United Kingdom, with support provided by area offices
and dedicated agents located in San Francisco, California; Iselin, New Jersey;
Windsor, England; Hamburg; Antwerp; Auckland; Genoa; Singapore; Hong Kong;
Sydney; Tokyo; Taipei; Seoul; Rio de Janeiro; and Shanghai. Each of the Leasing
Company's area offices and dedicated agents is staffed with local people
familiar with the customers and language of the region. The Leasing Company's
marketing directors have been employed in the container industry in their
respective regions for an average of 15 years, building direct personal
relationships with the local ocean carriers and locally based representatives of
other ocean carriers.
The Leasing Company also maintains agency relationships with over 20
independent agents around the world, who are generally paid a commission based
upon the amount of revenues they generate in the region or the number of
containers that are leased from their area on behalf of the Registrant. They are
located in jurisdictions where the volume of the Leasing Company's business
necessitates a presence in the area but is not sufficient to justify a
fully-functioning Leasing Company office or dedicated agent. These agents
provide marketing support to the area offices covering the region, together with
limited operational support.
6
<PAGE> 7
In addition, the Leasing Company relies on the services of over 300
independently-owned and operated depots around the world to inspect, repair,
maintain and store containers while off-hire. The Leasing Company's area offices
authorize all container movements into and out of the depot and supervise all
repair and maintenance performed by the depot. The Leasing Company's technical
staff sets the standards for repair of its owned and managed fleet throughout
the world and monitors the quality of depot repair work. The depots provide
a vital link to the Leasing Company's operations, as the redelivery of a
container into a depot is the point at which the container is off-hired from one
customer and repaired in preparation for re-leasing to the next, and the point
when the Leasing Company's area offices report the container's movements onto
the Leasing Company's equipment tracking system. The Leasing Company's computer
system has the capability to accommodate future developments, such as allowing
depots access to record directly on the system the on-hire and off-hire activity
of containers delivered into the depot. It also has the capability of verifying
the terms of redelivery authorized by the area offices. These functions are
currently being performed by the Leasing Company's area offices.
(c)(1)(ii) Inapplicable.
(c)(1)(iii) Inapplicable.
(c)(1)(iv) Inapplicable.
(c)(1)(v) The Registrant's containers are leased globally, therefore,
seasonal fluctuations are minimal. Other economic and business factors to which
the transportation industry in general and the container leasing industry in
particular are subject, include fluctuations in supply and demand for equipment
resulting from, among other things, obsolescence, changes in the methods or
economics of a particular mode of transportation or changes in governmental
regulations or safety standards.
(c)(1)(vi) The Registrant established a working capital reserve of
approximately 1.1% of subscription proceeds raised. In addition, the Registrant
may reserve additional amounts from anticipated cash distributions to the
partners to meet working capital requirements.
Amounts due under master leases are calculated at the end of each month and
billed approximately six to eight days thereafter. Amounts due under short-term
and long-term leases are set forth in the respective lease agreements and are
generally payable monthly. Past due penalties are not customarily collected from
lessees, and accordingly are not generally levied by the Leasing Company against
lessees of the Registrant's containers.
(c)(1)(vii) For the year ended December 31, 1995, no single lessee accounted
for 10% or more of the Registrant's rental income. The Registrant does not
believe that its ongoing business is dependent upon a single customer, although
the loss of one or more of its largest customers could have an adverse effect
upon its business.
(c)(1)(viii) Inapplicable.
(c)(1)(ix) Inapplicable.
(c)(1)(x) Competition among container leasing companies is based upon
several factors, including the location and availability of inventory, lease
rates, the type, quality and condition of the containers, the quality and
flexibility of the service offered and the confidence in and professional
relationship with the lessor. Other factors include the speed with which a
leasing company can prepare its containers for lease and the ease with which a
lessee believes it can do business with a lessor or its local area office. The
Leasing Company believes that it, on behalf of the Registrant, competes
favorably on all of these factors.
7
<PAGE> 8
The Leasing Company, on behalf of the Registrant, competes with various
container leasing companies in the markets in which it conducts business,
including Genstar Container Corp., Transamerica Leasing, Triton Container
International Ltd., Trans Ocean Ltd., Textainer Corp. and others. In a series of
recent consolidations, one of the major leasing companies, as well as some
smaller ones, have been acquired by competitors. It is estimated that at the end
of 1995, the ten largest leasing companies (including the Leasing Company)
represented 94% of the global leased fleet. Genstar Container Corp. and
Transamerica Leasing, the two largest container leasing companies, had
approximately 50% of the worldwide leased container fleet at the end of 1995.
Some of the Leasing Company's competitors have greater financial resources than
the Leasing Company and may be more capable of offering lower per-diem rates on
a larger fleet. In the Leasing Company's experience, however, ocean carriers
will generally lease containers from more than one leasing company in order to
minimize dependence on a single supplier. In addition, not all container leasing
companies compete in the same market, as some supply only dry cargo containers
and not specialized containers, while others offer only long-term leasing.
(c)(1)(xi) Inapplicable.
(c)(1)(xii) Environmental Matters
A portion of the Registrant's equipment portfolio consists of special
purpose containers, primarily refrigerated containers. Historically,
refrigerated containers have utilized a refrigerant gas which is a
chlorofluorocarbon ("CFC") compound. It is generally assumed that CFCs are
harmful to the Earth's ozone layer when released into the atmosphere. Many
nations, including the United States, have taken action, both collectively and
individually, to regulate CFCs. These nations set various targets for the
reduction in production and use of CFCs starting as early as 1993, and their
eventual elimination. There has been substantial progress recently to determine
a viable substitute for the refrigerant used in containers, such that both the
Leasing Company and the container leasing industry association have selected a
replacement refrigerant. Production of new container refrigeration units
operating with the replacement refrigerant became generally available in 1993.
All of the Registrant's refrigerated containers use CFC refrigerated gas in the
operation and insulation of the containers. Depending on market pressures and
future governmental regulations, the Registrant's refrigerated containers may
have to be retrofitted with non-CFC refrigerants, the cost of which will be
borne by the Registrant. The Leasing Company's technical staff has cooperated
with refrigeration manufacturers in conducting investigations into the most
effective and economical retrofit plan. CCC and the Leasing Company believe that
this expense, should it be required, would not be material to the Registrant's
financial position or results of operations. In addition, refrigerated
containers that are not retrofitted may command lower prices in the used
container market. Most of the independent depot operators utilized by the
Registrant currently have the facilities to provide CFC recycling and disposal
services to container owners and lessors such as the Registrant.
Under the state and Federal laws of the United States, and possibly under
the laws of other nations, the owner of a container may be liable for
environmental damage and/or cleanup and/or other sums in the event of actual or
threatened discharge or other contamination by material in a container. This
liability may be imposed on a container owner, such as the Registrant, even if
the owner is not at fault.
(c)(1)(xiii) The Registrant, as a limited partnership, is managed by CCC,
the general partner, and accordingly does not itself have any employees. CCC has
27 employees, consisting of 5 officers, 4 other managers and 18 clerical and
staff personnel.

(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
Sales
The Registrant's business is not divided between foreign or domestic
operations. The Registrant's business is the leasing of containers worldwide to
ocean-going steamship companies. To this extent, the Registrant's operations are
subject to the fluctuations of worldwide economic and political conditions that
may affect the pattern and levels of world trade.
Rental income from leases to foreign customers constituted approximately 90%
of the Registrant's total rental income for the years 1995, 1994 and 1993. The
Registrant believes that the profitability of, and risks associated with, leases
to foreign customers is generally the same as those of leases to domestic
customers. The Leasing Company's leases generally require all payments to be
made in United States currency.
Item 2. Properties
As of December 31, 1995, the Registrant owned 9,251 twenty-foot, 5,342
forty-foot and 210 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well as
199 twenty-foot and 307 forty-foot refrigerated containers, suitable for
transporting cargo by rail, sea or highway. The average useful life and invoice
cost of the Registrant's fleet at December 31, 1995 was as follows:
<TABLE>

20-Foot Refrigerated Cargo Containers 10-15 years 4 years $ 17,908
40-Foot Refrigerated Cargo Containers 10-15 years 4 years $ 22,054
</TABLE>
During 1995, the Registrant invested a portion of its cash generated from
sales proceeds to replace containers which had been lost or damaged beyond
repair by purchasing 110 new twenty-foot marine dry cargo containers at an
aggregate cost of $278,775. Of this amount $221,850 remained payable to a
container manufacturer. The Registrant expects to pay this amount in January
1996. At December 31, 1995, the Registrant had no commitments to purchase
additional containers.
Utilization by lessees of the Registrant's containers fluctuates over time
depending on the supply of and demand for containers in the Registrant's
inventory locations. During 1995, utilization of the dry cargo and refrigerated
container fleet averaged 89% and 97%, respectively.
During 1995, the Registrant disposed of 111 twenty-foot, 26 forty-foot and
one forty-foot high-cube dry cargo container, and one forty-foot refrigerated
cargo container at an average book gain of $164 per container.

December 31, 1992.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Registrant's primary objective is to generate cash flow from operations
for distribution to its limited partners and, during the initial years of
operations, reinvest excess cash flow in additional equipment. Aside from the
initial working capital reserve retained from gross subscription proceeds (equal
to approximately 1.1% of such proceeds), the Registrant relies primarily on
container rental receipts to meet this objective as well as to finance current
operating needs. No credit lines are maintained to finance working capital.
At December 31, 1995, the Registrant had $2,827,502 in cash and cash
equivalents, an increase of $666,713 and $627,223 from the December 31, 1994 and
1993 cash balances. This additional cash allowed the Registrant to increase its
working capital reserves. During 1995, the Registrant's collection of
outstanding lease receivables and sales proceeds were favorable, contributing
both to the aforementioned increase in cash and cash equivalents, and a $116,879
decline in net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company. The Registrant's
allowance for doubtful accounts increased from $261,827 in 1994 to $343,373 in
1995. The Leasing Company has either negotiated specific payment terms or is
pursuing other alternatives in an attempt to collect the outstanding receivable
balances. During 1995, the Leasing Company concentrated on improving the credit
quality of its customer portfolio. The Registrant expects to gain long-term
benefits from the improvement in the credit quality of this customer portfolio,
as the allowance for doubtful accounts and related expenses should experience
further declines in subsequent periods.
During 1995, the Registrant purchased 110 new twenty-foot dry cargo
containers. The aggregate manufacturer's invoice cost for these containers was
$278,775. This amount was financed through cash generated from equipment
disposals during 1994 and 1995. At December 31, 1995, $221,850 remained payable
to a container manufacturer. This amount will be paid during January 1996.
During 1996, the Registrant intends to continue using cash generated from
equipment sales to purchase and replace containers which have been lost or
damaged beyond repair. At December 31, 1995, the Registrant had no commitments
to purchase additional containers.
11
<PAGE> 12
During 1994, the Registrant received a settlement of $192,000 from a single
container manufacturer for the repair of certain manufacturer defects on
approximately 90 refrigerated containers. The entire amount has been included as
part of the Registrant's working capital reserves to fund the repairs in
subsequent years. The Leasing Company estimated that the repairs should average
approximately $1,400 per refrigerated container and that the amount reserved is
sufficient.
Cash distributions from operations are allocated 5% to the general partner
and 95% to the limited partners. Distributions of sales proceeds are allocated
1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partners. This sharing
arrangement will remain in place until the limited partners have received
aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital contributions, plus
a 10% cumulative, compounded (daily), annual return on their adjusted capital
contributions. Thereafter, all distributions will be allocated 15% to the
general partner and 85% to the limited partners, pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of
the Partnership Agreement. Distributions are paid monthly, based primarily on
each quarter's cash flow from operations and cash generated from container
sales.
From inception through February 29, 1996, the Registrant has distributed
$24,356,339 in cash from operations to its limited partners, or 35% of the
Registrant's original limited partners' investment. Distributions are paid
monthly, based primarily on each quarter's cash flow from operations and cash
generated from container sales. Distributions are also affected by periodic
increases or decreases to working capital reserves, as deemed appropriate by the
general partner.
The container leasing market generally softened during the fourth quarter of
1995 and has remained so during the early months of 1996. Demand for leased
containers remains stable in some areas of the world; however, sluggish activity
in other markets, particularly in Southeast Asia, has resulted in an increase in
container inventories. The current market conditions cannot be attributed to any
one factor; rather, a series of factors, in combination, have resulted in a
slowdown in leasing activity. Some of the contributing factors are: a slowdown
in some European economies, as well as in some Far East exporting countries;
increased efficiencies in the shipping industry through the formation of
alliances between shipping lines; and a prolonged seasonal slowdown in container
demand during the holiday season. Although some further softening in market
conditions may be anticipated, the volume of world trade continues to grow and
the long-term outlook is a positive one.
Results of Operations
1995 - 1994
In 1995, the Registrant's operations were impacted by its declining fleet
size, increasingly competitive market conditions, including, but not limited to,
the container leasing market's resistance to higher per-diem rental rates, an
expanding supply of containers within the container industry, as well as
increased efficiencies in the shipping industry. The Registrant's net lease
revenue, which increased by approximately 1% when compared to 1994, is
determined by deducting direct operating expenses, management fees and
reimbursed administrative expenses, from rental revenues billed by the Leasing
Company from the leasing of the Registrant's containers. The Registrant's net
lease revenue is directly related to the size of its fleet, the utilization and
per-diem rental rates of the equipment owned by the Registrant.
The Registrant's average fleet size (as measured in twenty-foot equivalent
units ("TEU")) was 21,183 TEU, as compared to 21,198 TEU in 1994. The
Registrant's dry cargo container utilization rates decreased slightly from an
average of 90% during 1994 to an average of 89% during 1995. Refrigerated
container utilization rates averaged 99% in 1995, unchanged from 1994. Dry cargo
container per-diem rental rates decreased by less than 1% from 1994 levels.
Refrigerated container per-diem rental rates declined approximately 2% from 1994
levels. Despite the fluctuations and declines in the Registrant's average fleet
size, utilization and per-diem rental rates, gross rental revenue, a component
of net lease revenue, increased slightly from $12,099,832 in 1994 to $12,200,962
in 1995. This increase can be partially attributed to an 18% increase in
ancillary revenue. Ancillary revenue contributed to approximately 12% and 10% of
the Registrant's total gross rental revenue in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Ancillary revenue was comprised of pick-up, drop-off , handling and off-hire
charges, as well as lease incentives such as drop-off and pick-up credits.
12
<PAGE> 13
The Leasing Company makes payments to the Registrant based upon the rentals
collected from ocean carriers after deducting certain operating expenses
associated with the containers, such as base management fees and reimbursed
administrative expense payable to CCC and its affiliates, the costs of
maintenance and repairs not performed by lessees, independent agent fees and
expenses, depot expenses for handling, inspection and storage, and additional
insurance. Rental equipment direct operating expenses increased as a result of
an increase in repair and maintenance, as well as an increase in the costs
associated with the recovery actions against the doubtful accounts of certain
lessees, including legal and container recovery expenses. Base management fees
declined by $77,310, or approximately 9%, during 1995.
The Registrant disposed of 111 twenty-foot, 26 forty-foot and one forty-foot
high-cube marine dry cargo containers during 1995, as compared to 18
twenty-foot, 16 forty-foot and one forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo
containers during 1994. As a result, less than one percent of the Registrant's
net earnings for 1995 were from gain on disposal of equipment, as compared to 1%
for 1994. The decision to repair or dispose of a container is made when it is
returned by a lessee. This decision is influenced by various factors including
the age, condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the
geographical location of the container when disposed. These factors also
influence the amount of sales proceeds received and the related gain on
container disposals.
1994 - 1993
The container leasing industry began to benefit from a global economic
recovery during the latter half of 1994, experiencing an improvement in
conditions that existed during 1993, including an upward trend in utilization
rates, a reduction in container inventories, and a stabilization of declining
per-diem rental rates during the fourth quarter of 1994. These conditions
resulted in an increase of net lease revenue of approximately 3% when compared
to 1993. During 1994, the Registrant's operating fleet size averaged 21,198 TEU,
compared with 21,216 TEU averaged during 1993. The Registrant's per-diem rates
during 1994 for dry cargo and refrigerated containers decreased 1% and 2%,
respectively, from 1993 levels. Dry cargo container utilization rates averaged
90% in 1994, an increase of 3% from the 87% rate averaged during 1993.
Refrigerated container utilization rates averaged 99% in 1994, an increase of 1%
when compared to 1993.
Rental equipment direct operating expenses decreased as higher utilization
rates resulted in decreased storage, handling and repositioning costs. However,
these decreases were partially offset by an increase in the provision for
doubtful accounts from $27,548 in 1993 to $301,952 in 1994.
The Registrant disposed of 18 twenty-foot, 16 forty-foot and one forty-foot
high-cube marine dry cargo containers during 1994, as compared to seven
twenty-foot, 11 forty-foot and one forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo
containers during 1993. As a result, approximately 1% of the Registrant's net
earnings for 1994 were from gain on disposal of equipment, the same as for 1993.

IEA INCOME FUND XII, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993
(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") (see Note 12) is the general
partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the
"Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the
Partnership.
The Partnership commenced operations on January 31, 1992, when the
minimum subscription proceeds of $2,000,000 were obtained. As of
December 31, 1995, the Partnership operated 9,251 twenty-foot, 5,342
forty-foot and 210 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers,
as well as 199 twenty-foot and 307 forty-foot marine refrigerated
cargo containers.
The Partnership offered 3,750,000 units of limited partnership
interest at $20 per unit, or $75,000,000. The offering terminated on
November 30, 1992, at which time 3,513,594 limited partnership units
had been purchased.
(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 one 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.

IEA INCOME FUND XII, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(c) Basis of Accounting
The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is
recorded when earned.
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.
(d) Allocation of Net Earnings and Partnership Distributions
Net earnings have been allocated between general and limited partners
in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.
Actual cash distributions differ from the allocations of net earnings
between the general and limited partners as presented in these
financial statements. Partnership distributions are paid to its
partners (general and limited) from distributable cash from
operations, allocated 95% to the limited partners and 5% to the
general
partner. Sales proceeds are allocated 99% to the limited partners and
1% to the general partner. The allocations remain in effect until
such time as the limited partners have received from the Partnership
aggregate distributions in an amount equal to their capital
contributions plus a 10% cumulative, compounded (daily), annual
return on their adjusted capital contributions. Thereafter, all
Partnership distributions will be allocated 85% to the limited
partners and 15% to the general partner.
(e) Acquisition Fees
Pursuant to Article IV Section 4.2 of the Partnership Agreement,
acquisition fees paid to CCC are based on 5% of the equipment
purchase price. These fees are capitalized and included in the cost
of the rental equipment. The fees are payable in two or more
installments commencing in the year of purchase.
(f) Depreciation of Containers
Rental equipment is depreciated over a twelve-year life on a
straight-line basis to its estimated salvage value.
(g) Amortization
The Partnership's organization costs will be amortized over 60 months
on a straight-line basis.
(h) Underwriting Commissions
Underwriting commissions of 10% on the gross proceeds from sale of
limited partnership units (not applicable to certain sales outside
California) were deducted in the determination of net limited
partnership contributions. The commissions were paid to Cronos
Securities Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCC, and to other
broker/dealers who participated in the offering.
20
<PAGE> 21
IEA INCOME FUND XII, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(i) Income Taxes
The Partnership is not subject to income taxes, consequently no
provision for income taxes has been made. The Partnership files an
annual information tax return, prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting. At December 31, 1995, the tax basis of total partners'
capital was $38,047,661.
(j) Foreign Operations
The Partnership's business is not divided between foreign or domestic
operations. The Partnership's business is the leasing of containers
worldwide to ocean-going steamship companies and does not fit the
definition of reportable foreign operations within Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 14 "Financial Reporting for
Segments of a Business Enterprise." Any attempt to separate "foreign"
operations from "domestic" operations would be dependent on
definitions and assumptions that are so subjective as to render the
information meaningless and potentially misleading.
(k) Financial Statement Presentation
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 statement of operations display the
payments to be received by the Partnership from the Leasing Company
as the Partnership's receivables and revenues.
(2) Short-term Investments
Short-term investments are carried at cost which approximates market
value. Short-term investments with an original maturity of less than three
months are considered cash equivalents.
(3) Organization Costs
The Partnership incurred $1,205,690 in offering and organizational costs
during its offering period. Amortization of these costs was $241,138 in
1995, 1994 and 1993.

(4) 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 December 31,
1995 and December 31, 1994 were as follows:

The amounts due to CCC at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 consist
of acquisition fees.
(7) Damage Protection Plan
The Leasing Company offers a repair service to several lessees of the
Partnership's containers, whereby the lessee pays an additional rental fee
for the convenience of having the Partnership incur the repair expense for
containers damaged while on lease. This revenue is recorded when earned
according to the terms of the rental contract. A reserve has been
established to provide for the estimated costs incurred by this service.
This reserve is a component of net lease receivables due from the Leasing
Company (see note 4). The Partnership is not responsible in the event
repair costs exceed predetermined limits, or for repairs that are required
for damages not defined by the damage protection plan agreement.
