PART I ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS For more detailed information about the Registrant's business, see "Business of the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented. (a) General Development of Business The Registrant is a California Limited Partnership formed on October 30, 1991 to purchase, own, operate, lease, and sell equipment used in the containerized cargo shipping industry. The Registrant commenced offering units representing limited partnership interests (Units) to the public on April 30, 1992 in accordance with its Registration Statement and ceased to offer such Units as of April 30, 1994. The Registrant raised a total of $136,918,060 from the offering and invested a substantial portion of the money raised in equipment. The Registrant has since engaged in leasing this and other equipment in the international shipping industry. See Item 10 herein for a description of the Registrant's General Partners. See Item 7 herein for a description of current market conditions affecting the Registrant's business. (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments Inapplicable. (c) Narrative Description of Business (c)(1)(i) A container leasing company generally, and the Registrant specifically, is an operating business comparable to a rental car business. A customer can lease a car from a bank leasing department for a monthly charge which represents the cost of the car, plus interest, amortized over the term of the lease; or the customer can rent the same car from a rental car company at a much higher daily lease rate. The customer is willing to pay the higher daily rate for the convenience and value-added features provided by the rental car company, the most important of which is the ability to pick up the car where it is most convenient, use it for the desired period of time, and then drop it off at a location convenient to the customer. Rental car companies compete with one another on the basis of lease rates, availability of cars, and the provision of additional services. They generate revenues by maintaining the highest lease rates and the highest utilization factors that market conditions will allow, and by augmenting this income with proceeds from sales of insurance, drop-off fees, and other special charges. A large percentage of lease revenues earned by car rental companies are generated under corporate rate agreements wherein, for a stated period of time, employees of a participating corporation can rent cars at specific terms, conditions and rental rates. Container leasing companies and the Registrant operate in a similar manner by owning a worldwide fleet of new and used transportation containers and leasing these containers to international shipping companies hauling various types of goods among numerous trade routes. All lessees pay a daily rental rate and in certain markets may pay special handling fees and/or drop-off charges. In addition to these fees and harges, a lessee must either provide physical damage and liability insurance or purchase a damage waiver from the Registrant, in which case the Registrant agrees to pay the cost of repairing certain physical damage to containers. Container leasing companies compete with one another on the basis of lease rates, fees charged, services provided and availability of equipment. To ensure the availability of equipment to its customers, container leasing companies and the Registrant may pay to reposition containers from low demand locations to higher demand locations. By maintaining the highest lease rates and the highest equipment utilization factors allowed by market conditions, the Registrant attempts to generate revenue and profit. The majority of the Registrant's equipment is leased under master leases, which are comparable to the corporate rate agreements used by rental car companies. The master leases provide that the lessee, for a specified period of time, may rent containers at specific terms, conditions and rental rates. Although the terms of the master lease governing each container under lease do not vary, the number of containers in use can vary from time to time within the term of the master lease. The terms and conditions of the master lease provide that the lessee pays a daily rental rate for the entire time the container is in his possession (whether or not he is actively using it), is responsible for any damage, and must insure the container against liabilities. Some of the Partnership's equipment is leased under long-term lease agreements. Unlike master lease agreements, long-term lease agreements provide for containers to be leased for periods of between three to five years. Such leases are generally cancelable with a penalty at the end of each twelve-month period. Under direct finance leases, the containers are usually leased from the Partnership for the remainder of the container's useful life with a purchase option at the end of the lease term. Direct finance leases currently cover a minority of the Partnership's equipment. For a more detailed discussion of the leases for the Registrant's equipment, see "Leasing Policy" under "Business of the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented. The Registrant also sells containers in the course of its business as opportunities arise, at the end of the container's useful life or if market and economic considerations indicated that a sale would be beneficial.

(c)(1)(vi) Inapplicable. (c)(1)(vii) No single lessee generated lease revenue for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 which was 10% or more of the total revenue of the Registrant. (c)(1)(viii) Inapplicable. (c)(1)(ix) Inapplicable. (c)(1)(x) There are approximately 80 container leasing companies of which the top ten control approximately 88% of the total equipment held by all container leasing companies. The top two container leasing companies combined control approximately 31% of the total equipment held by all container leasing companies. Textainer Equipment Management Limited, an Associate General Partner of the Registrant and the manager of its marine container equipment, is the third largest container leasing company and manages approximately 13% of the equipment held by all container leasing companies. The customers for leased containers are primarily international shipping lines. The Registrant alone is not a material participant in the worldwide container leasing market. The principal methods of competition are price, availability and the provision of worldwide service to the international shipping community. Competition in the container leasing market has increased over the past few years. Since 1996, shipping alliances and other operational consolidations among shipping lines have allowed shipping lines to begin operating with fewer containers, thereby decreasing the demand for leased containers and allowing lessees to gain concessions from lessors about price, special charges or credits and, in certain markets, the age specification of the containers rented. Furthermore, primarily as a result of lower new container prices and low interest rates, shipping lines now own, rather than lease, a higher percentage of containers. The decrease in demand from shipping lines, along with the entry of new leasing company competitors offering low container rental rates, has increased competition among container lessors such as the Registrant. (c)(1)(xi) Inapplicable. (c)(1)(xii) Inapplicable. (c)(1)(xiii) The Registrant has no employees. Textainer Financial Services Corporation (TFS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC), the Managing General Partner of the Registrant, is responsible for the overall management of the business of the Registrant and at December 31, 2001 had 4 employees. Textainer Equipment Management Limited (TEM), an Associate General Partner, is responsible for the management of the leasing operations of the Registrant and at December 31, 2001 had a total of 157 employees. (d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and ExportSales. The Registrant is involved in the leasing of shipping containers to international shipping companies for use in world trade and approximately 12%, 14% and 15% of the Registrant's rental revenue during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, was derived from operations sourced or terminated domestically. These percentages do not reflect the proportion of the Partnership's income from operations generated domestically or in domestic waterways. Substantially all of the Partnership's income from operations is derived from assets employed in foreign operations. See "Business of the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus, as supplemented, and for a discussion of the risks of leasing containers for use in world trade, see "Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements" in Item 7 herein. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of December 31, 2001, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities of equipment: 20-foot standard dry freight containers 11,208 40-foot standard dry freight containers 13,458 40-foot high cube dry freight containers 6,745 ------ 31,411 ====== During December 2001, approximately 53% of these containers were on lease to international shipping companies, and the balance were being stored primarily at a large number of storage depots located worldwide. The Partnership sells containers when (i) a container reaches the end of its useful life or (ii) an analysis indicates that the sale is warranted based on existing market conditions and the container's age, location and condition. At December 31, 2001, approximately 6% of the Partnership's off-lease equipment had been identified as being for sale. For information about the Registrant's property, see "Business of the Partnership" and "Risk Factors" in the Registrant's Prospectus, as supplemented.

Distributions are made monthly by the Registrant to its limited partners. ITEM 701: Inapplicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts) The Financial Statements contain information which will assist in evaluating the financial condition of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. Please refer to the Financial Statements and Notes thereto in connection with the following discussion. Textainer Financial Services Corporation (TFS) is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC). Textainer Equipment Management Limited (TEM) and Textainer Limited (TL) are Associate General Partners of the Partnership. The General Partners manage and control the affairs of the Partnership. Liquidity and Capital Resources From May 1, 1992 until April 30, 1994, the Partnership offered limited partnership interests to the public. The Partnership received its minimum subscription amount of $5,000 on June 11, 1992 and on April 30, 1994 the Partnership had received a total subscription amount of $136,918. The Partnership invests working capital, cash flow from operations prior to its distribution to the partners and proceeds from container sales that have not been used to purchase containers in short-term, liquid investments. Rental income is the Partnership's principal source of liquidity and provides a major source of funds for distributions. Rental income has been adversely affected by current market conditions for leased containers, and these market conditions may continue or worsen. Market conditions are discussed more fully in "Results of Operations." The Partnership's cash is affected by cash provided by or used in operating, investing and financing activities. These activities are discussed in detail below. Limited partners are currently receiving monthly distributions in an annualized amount equal to 5% of their original investment. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership declared cash distributions to limited partners pertaining to the period from December 2000 through November 2001, in the amount of $8,290. On a cash basis, $6,967 of these distributions was from current year operating activities and the remainder was from cash provided by previous years' operations that had not been distributed or used to purchase containers or redeem units. On a financial statement basis, all of these distributions were a return of capital. From time to time, the Partnership redeems units from limited partners for a specified redemption value, which is set by formula. Up to 2% of the Partnership's outstanding units may be redeemed each year, although the 2% limit may be exceeded at the Managing General Partner's discretion. All redemptions are subject to the Managing General Partner's good faith determination that payment for the redeemed units will not (i) cause the Partnership to be taxed as a corporation, (ii) impair the capital or operations of the Partnership, or (iii) impair the ability of the Partnership to pay distributions in accordance with its distribution policy. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership redeemed 28,162 units for a total dollar amount of $234. The Partnership used cash flow from operations to pay for the redeemed units. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase containers. Net cash provided by operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 was $7,288 and $10,964, respectively. The decrease of $3,676, or 34%, was primarily attributable to the decrease in net earnings (loss), adjusted for non-cash transactions and fluctuations in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and gross accounts receivable. The decrease was partially offset by the fluctuations in due from affiliates, net. Net earnings (loss), adjusted for non-cash transactions, decreased primarily due to the decrease in rental income and increase in direct container expenses. These fluctuations are discussed more fully in "Results of Operations". The fluctuation in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted from timing differences in the payment of expenses and fees as well as fluctuations in these amounts. The decrease in gross accounts receivable of $816 during the year ended December 31, 2001 was primarily due to the decrease in rental income. The decrease in gross accounts receivable of $1,047 during the comparable period in 2000 was primarily due to the decrease in the average collection period of accounts receivable. The fluctuations in due from affiliates, net, resulted from timing differences in payment of expenses, fees and distributions and the remittance of net rental revenues and sales proceeds, as well as fluctuations in these amounts. For the year ended December 31, 2001, net cash provided by investing activities (the purchase and sale of containers) was $22 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $403 for the comparable period in 2000. The fluctuation of $425 was due to the decrease in cash used for container purchases, partially offset by the decrease in proceeds from container sales. Cash used for container purchases decreased due to the Partnership purchasing substantially fewer containers at a lower average cost, offset by timing differences in the accrual and payment of these purchases. The Partnership sold more containers in low demand locations during the year ended December 31, 2001 than in the same period in 2000, but a decrease in the average sales price and timing differences in the accrual and receipt of these proceeds resulted in the decrease in total proceeds from container sales between the periods. The sales prices received on container sales continued to decrease as a result of current market conditions, which have adversely affected the value of used containers. Until market conditions improve in certain low demand locations, the Partnership plans to continue selling some of its containers that are off-lease in these locations. The number of containers sold, both in low demand locations and elsewhere, as well as the average sales price, will affect how much the Partnership can reinvest in new containers. Consistent with its investment objectives and subject to its distribution policy, the Partnership intends to continue to reinvest both cash from operations available for reinvestment and all, or a significant amount of, the proceeds from container sales in additional containers. Cash from operations available for reinvestment is generally equal to cash provided by operating activities, less distributions and redemptions paid, which are subject to the General Partners' authority to set these amounts (and modify reserves and working capital), as provided in the Partnership Agreement. The amount of sales proceeds will fluctuate based on the number of containers sold and the sales price received. The Partnership sells containers when (i) a container reaches the end of its useful life or (ii) an analysis indicates that the sale is warranted based on existing market conditions and the container's age, location and condition. Both cash from operations available for reinvestment and sales proceeds have been adversely affected by market conditions. These market conditions have resulted in a slower than anticipated rate of reinvestment. Market conditions are discussed more fully under "Results of Operations." A slower rate of reinvestment will, over time, affect the size of the Partnership's container fleet. Furthermore, even with reinvestment, the Partnership is not likely to be able to replace all the containers it sells, since new container prices are usually higher than the average sales price for a used container, and the majority of cash available for reinvestment is from sales proceeds. Results of Operations The Partnership's income from operations, which consists primarily of rental income less costs and expenses (including container depreciation, direct container expenses, management fees, and reimbursement of administrative expenses) was directly related to the size of the container fleet during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, as well as certain other factors as discussed below. The following is a summary of the container fleet (in units) available for lease during those periods: 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Beginning container fleet............... 33,062 32,876 34,661 Ending container fleet.................. 31,411 33,062 32,876 Average container fleet................. 32,237 32,969 33,769 The average container fleet decreased 2% from the years ended December 31, 2000 to 2001 and December 31, 1999 to 2000, primarily due to sales of containers. Although, sales proceeds were used to purchase additional containers, fewer containers were bought than sold as used container sales prices were lower than new container prices. The Partnership's primary source of funds for container purchases is these sales proceeds. The rate of decline in average fleet size may fluctuate due to timing differences in the purchase and sale of containers and fluctuations in container sale and purchase prices during each period. As noted above, when containers are sold in the future, sales proceeds are not likely to be sufficient to replace all of the containers sold, resulting in the continuing decline in the average container fleet. This trend is expected to continue. Other factors related to this trend are discussed above in "Liquidity and Capital Resources". Rental income and direct container expenses are also affected by the utilization of the container fleet, which was 60%, 77% and 71% on average during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The remaining container fleet is off-lease and is being stored primarily at a large number of storage depots. At December 31, 2001, the Partnership's off-lease containers (in units) were located in the following locations: America 3,296 Europe 2,070 Asia 8,783 ------ Total off-lease containers 14,149 ====== At December 31, 2001 approximately 6% of the Partnership's off-lease containers had been specifically identified as for sale. In addition to utilization, rental income is affected by daily rental rates, which have decreased slightly between the periods. The following is a comparative analysis of the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. The Partnership's (loss) income from operations for the years ending December 31, 2001 and 2000 was ($2,124) and $2,961, respectively, on rental income of $13,693 and $17,525, respectively. The decrease in rental income of $3,832, or 22%, from the year ended December 31, 2000, to the comparable period in 2001 was attributable to a decrease in container rental income, offset by an increase in other rental income, which is discussed below. Income from container rentals, the major component of total revenue, decreased $3,996, or 25%, primarily due to the decreases in average on-hire utilization of 22%, average rental rates of 3%, and average container fleet of 2%. The majority of the Partnership's rental income was generated from leasing of the Partnership's containers under master operating leases. The Partnership's income from operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 was $2,961 and $434 respectively, on rental income of $17,525 and $17,256, respectively. The increase in rental income of $269, or 2%, from the year ended December 31, 1999, to the comparable period in 2000 was attributable to an increase in container rental income, offset by a decrease in other rental income. Income from container rentals increased $620, or 4%, primarily due to the increase in average on-hire utilization of 8%, offset by the decreases in average rental rates of 3%, and the average container fleet of 2%. In the fourth quarter of 2000, utilization began to decline and continued to decline during 2001 and into the beginning of 2002. This decline was due to lower overall demand by shipping lines for leased containers, which is primarily a result of the worldwide economic slowdown. Two other factors are currently reducing the demand for leased containers. Shipping lines have added larger vessels to their fleets, which combined with lower cargo volume growth, has made it easier for them to use otherwise empty vessel space to reposition their own containers back to high demand locations. Additionally, in anticipation of the delivery of these new, larger vessels, many shipping lines placed large orders for new containers in 2000 and 2001, thus temporarily reducing their need to lease containers. These orders for additional containers are part of a general increase in vessel capacity for the shipping lines. This increase in vessel capacity amounted to 12% in 2001. An additional increase in vessel capacity of approximately 12% is expected in 2002, because the shipping lines placed orders for additional ships before recognizing the slowdown in world trade. To the extent that this increased vessel capacity remains underutilized, shipping lines may seek to cut costs in order to sustain profits or reduce losses, which may put further downward pressure on demand for containers. As a result of the lower demand, the trade imbalance between Asia and North America and Asia and Europe has eased slightly. Combined with the excess vessel capacity, these factors have made it easier, although not necessarily less expensive, to reposition containers. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Partnership was able to reposition newer containers from low demand locations in North America and Europe to historically higher demand locations in Asia. As a consequence, the build-up of containers in North America and Europe, which persisted over the past several years, has eased slightly. For the number of off-lease containers located in the lower demand locations of America and Europe, see chart above. Nevertheless, the Partnership continues to sell (rather than reposition) some containers located in low demand locations. The decision to sell containers is based on the current expectation that the economic benefit of selling these containers is greater than the estimated economic benefit of continuing to own these containers. The majority of the containers sold during the year ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 were older containers. The expected economic benefit of continuing to own these containers was significantly less than that of newer containers. This was due to their shorter remaining marine life, the cost to reposition them and the shipping lines' preference for leasing newer containers when they have a choice. Once the decision had been made to sell containers, the Partnership wrote down the value of these specifically identified containers to their estimated fair value, which was based on recent sales prices less cost of sales. Due to unanticipated declines in container sales prices, the actual sales prices received on some containers were lower than the estimates used for the write-down, resulting in the Partnership incurring losses upon the sale of some of these containers. Until market conditions improve, the Partnership may incur further write-downs and/or losses on the sale of such containers. Should the decline in economic value of continuing to own such containers turn out to be permanent, the Partnership may be required to increase its depreciation rate or write-down the value of some or all of its container rental equipment. Despite the decline in demand for leased containers discussed above and the decline in new container purchase prices, rental rates were comparable during these periods. Until such time as the worldwide economies improve, particularly those of the United States and Europe, and cargo volumes increase to the point where this year's 12% increase in worldwide vessel capacity is absorbed, there may be no significant improvements in utilization or rental rates. The General Partners do not foresee material changes in existing market conditions for the near term. Should there be a worldwide recession, demand for leased containers could decline further and result in a decline in lease rates and further declines in utilization and container sale prices, adversely affecting the Partnership's operating results. Other rental income consists of other lease-related items, primarily income from charges to lessees for dropping off containers in surplus locations less credits granted to lessees for leasing containers from surplus locations (location income), income from charges to lessees for handling related to leasing and returning containers (handling income) and income from charges to lessees for a Damage Protection Plan (DPP). For the year ended December 31, 2001, other rental income was $1,898, an increase of $164 from the equivalent period in 2000. The increase was primarily due to the increase in location income of $311, offset by the decease in handling income of $132. The increase in location income was primarily due to (i) the decline in credits granted to lessees for picking up containers from surplus locations as there were fewer lease-out opportunities for which credits could be offered and (ii) the increase in charges to lessees for dropping containers in certain locations. The decline in handling income was primarily due to the decline in container movement, and was partially offset by the increase in the average handling charge per container. For the year ended December 31, 2000, other rental income was $1,734, a decrease of $351 from the equivalent period in 1999. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in location, DPP and handling income of $167, $123, and $60, respectively. The decline in location income was due to a decrease in charges to lessees for dropping off containers in certain locations, offset by a decrease in credits granted to lessees for picking up containers from surplus locations. The decline in DPP income was primarily due to a decrease in the average DPP price charged per container. Handling income declined primarily due to the decline in container movement. Direct container expenses increased $613, or 13% from the year ended December 31, 2000, to the same period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to an increase in storage expense of $1,250, offset by decreases in repositioning and handling expenses of $428 and $123, respectively. Storage expense increased due to the decline in average utilization noted above and a higher average storage cost per container. Repositioning expense decreased due to a decrease in the number of containers repositioned, and a decrease in the average cost to reposition containers. Handling expense decreased due to the decrease in container movement and a decrease in the average handling cost per container. Direct container expenses decreased $855, or 15% from the year ended December 31, 1999, to the same period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to declines in storage, DPP and handling expenses of $691, $445 and $114, offset by the increase in repositioning expense of $469. Storage expense declined due to the improvement in utilization and a lower average storage cost per container. DPP expense declined due to a decrease in the average repair cost per container. Handling expense decreased due to the decrease in container movement and a lower average handling cost per container. The increase in repositioning expense was due to the increase in the average cost to reposition a container due to the high demand for limited vessel capacity, offset by the decrease in the number of containers repositioned. Bad debt (benefit) expense was ($25), ($120) and $364 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The fluctuations in bad debt benefit/expense reflect the required adjustment to the bad debt reserve and are based on management's then current estimates of the portion of accounts receivable that may not be collected, and which will not be covered by insurance. These estimates are based primarily on management's current assessment of the financial condition of the Partnership's lessees and their ability to make their required payments. The benefits recorded during the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 reflect lower reserve requirements from the previous year and the expense recorded during the year ended December 31, 1999 reflects a greater reserve requirement from the previous year. Depreciation expense decreased $115, or 2%, and $256, or 4%, from the years ended December 31, 2000 to 2001, and December 31, 1999 to 2000, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to the declines in the average fleet size. New container prices steadily declined from 1995 through 1999. Although container prices increased in 2000, these prices declined again in 2001. As a result, the cost of new containers purchased in recent years is significantly less than the average cost of containers purchased in prior years. The Partnership evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount of container rental equipment at December 31, 2001 and 2000 for containers to be held for continued use and determined that a reduction to the carrying value of these containers was not required. The Partnership also evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount of containers identified for sale in the ordinary course of business and determined that a reduction to the carrying value of these containers was required. The Partnership wrote down the value of these containers to their estimated fair value, which was based on recent sales prices less cost to sell. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership recorded write-down expenses of $954, $249 and $475, respectively, on 1,284, 344 and 746 containers identified as for sale and requiring a reserve. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the net book value of the 841 and 145 containers identified as for sale was $1,416 and $259, respectively. The Partnership sold 612 of these previously written down containers for a loss of $39 during the year ended December 31, 2001, and sold 320 previously written down containers for a loss of $9 during the same period in 2000. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership sold 1,499 previously written down containers for a loss of $193. The Partnership incurred losses on the sale of some containers previously written down as the actual sales prices received on these containers were lower than the estimates used for the write-downs, primarily due to unexpected declines in container prices. The Partnership also sold containers that had not been written down and recorded losses of $466, $80 and $204 during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. As more containers are subsequently identified for sale or if container sales prices decline, the Partnership may incur additional write-downs on containers and/or may incur losses on the sale of containers. The Partnership will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the recorded amount of container rental equipment and cautions that a write-down of container rental equipment and/or an increase in its depreciation rate may be required in future periods for some or all of its container rental equipment. Management fees to affiliates decreased $312 or 19% and $71 or 4%, from the years ended December 31, 2000 to 2001 and December 31, 1999 to 2000, respectively. The decreases were due to decreases in both equipment and incentive management fees. Equipment management fees decreased due to the decrease in rental income, upon which equipment management fees are primarily based. These fees were approximately 7% of rental income for these periods. Incentive management fees, which are based on the Partnership's limited and general partner distributions made from cash from operations and partners' capital decreased $59 and $73 from the years ended December 31, 2000 to 2001 and December 31, 1999 to 2000, respectively. These decreases were due to (i) decreases in the limited partner distributions percentages from 9% to 8% of initial partners' capital in July 1999, from 8% to 7% of initial partners' capital in October 1999 and from 7% to 5% of initial partners' capital in July 2001 and (ii) decreases in partners' capital due to redemptions of limited partners units during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. General and administrative costs to affiliates decreased $147 or 17% and $43 or 5%, from the years ended December 31, 2000 to 2001, and December 31, 1999 to 2000, respectively. These decreases were primarily due to a decrease in the allocation of overhead costs from TEM, as the Partnership represented a smaller portion of the total fleet managed by TEM. The Partnership Agreement provides for the ongoing payment to the General Partners of the management fees and the reimbursement of the expenses discussed above. Since these fees and expenses are established by the Agreement, they cannot be considered the result of arms' length negotiations with third parties. The Partnership Agreement was formulated at the Partnership's inception and was part of the terms upon which the Partnership solicited investments from its limited partners. The business purpose of paying the General Partners these fees is to compensate the General Partners for the services they render to the Partnership. Reimbursement for expenses is made to offset some of the costs incurred by the General Partners in managing the Partnership and its container fleet. More details about these fees and expenses are included in footnote 2 to the Financial Statements. Loss on sale of containers increased $416 from the year ended December 31, 2000 to the comparable period in 2001. The increase was primarily due to the Partnership selling more containers at lower average sales prices during the year ended December 31, 2001 than the comparable period in 2000. Loss on sale of containers decreased from $397 during the year ended December 31, 1999 to $89 for the comparable period in 2000. The decrease was primarily due to the Partnership selling fewer containers at a slightly higher average sales price during the year ended December 31, 2000, than the same period in 1999. The decline in the number of container sold was primarily due to there being fewer lower demand locations and fewer containers in these locations, the latter resulting primarily from previous sales efforts. Net earnings per limited partnership unit decreased from earnings of $0.45 to a loss of $0.32 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively, reflecting the decrease in net earnings allocated to limited partners from earnings of $3,082 to a loss of $2,119 respectively. Net earnings per limited partnership unit increased from $0.07 to $0.45 from the year ended December 31, 1999 to 2000, respectively, reflecting the increase in net earnings allocated to limited partners from $447 to $3,082, respectively. The allocation of net earnings for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, included a special allocation of gross income of $107, $68 and $114, respectively, to the General Partners in accordance with the Partnership Agreement. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Partnership's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Partnership's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain estimates and assumptions were made by the Partnership's management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnership's management evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to the container rental equipment, accounts receivable and accruals. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Partnership's management believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements. The Partnership maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its lessees to make required payments. These allowances are based on management's current assessment of the financial condition of the Partnership's lessees and their ability to make their required payments. If the financial condition of the Partnership's lessees were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would adversely affect the Partnership's operating results. The Partnership depreciates its container rental equipment based on certain estimates related to the container's useful life and salvage value. These estimates are based upon assumptions about future demand for leased containers and the estimated sales price at the end of the container's useful life. If these estimates were subsequently revised based on permanent changes in the container leasing market, the Partnership would revise its depreciation policy, which could adversely affect the Partnership's operating results. Additionally, the recoverability of the recorded amounts of containers is evaluated to ensure that the recorded amount does not exceed the estimated fair value of the containers. If it is determined that the recorded amount exceeds the estimated fair value, the Partnership writes down the value of those containers. In determining the estimated fair value, assumptions are made regarding future demand and market conditions for leased containers as well as for used containers and the sales prices for used containers. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected or if actual sales prices are lower than those estimated by the Partnership, additional write-downs may be required. Any additional write-downs would adversely affect the Partnership's operating results. Accounting Pronouncement In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", and elements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects on Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 establishes a single-accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of while maintaining many of the provisions relating to impairment testing and valuation. The Statement will be effective on January 1, 2002 and the Partnership is currently assessing the impact adoption will have on the financial condition and operating results of the Partnership. Risk Factors and Forward Looking Statements Although substantially all of the Partnership's income from operations is derived from assets employed in foreign operations, virtually all of this income is denominated in United States dollars. The Partnership's customers are international shipping lines, which transport goods on international trade routes. The domicile of the lessee is not indicative of where the lessee is transporting the containers. The Partnership's business risk in its foreign operations lies with the creditworthiness of the lessees, and the Partnership's ability to keep its containers under lease, rather than the geographic location of the containers or the domicile of the lessees. The containers are generally operated on the international high seas rather than on domestic waterways. The containers are subject to the risk of war or other political, economic or social occurrence where the containers are used, which may result in the loss of containers, which, in turn, may have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations and financial condition. Other risks of the Partnership's leasing operations include competition, the cost of repositioning containers after they come off-lease, the risk of an uninsured loss, including bad debts, increases in maintenance expenses or other costs of operating the containers, and the effect of world trade, industry trends and/or general business and economic cycles on the Partnership's operations. See "Risk Factors" in the Partnership's Prospectus, as supplemented, for additional information on risks of the Partnership's business. See "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" above for information on the Partnership's critical accounting policies and how changes in those estimates could adversely affect the Partnership's results of operations. The foregoing includes forward-looking statements and predictions about possible or future events, results of operations and financial condition. These statements and predictions may prove to be inaccurate, because of the assumptions made by the Partnership or the General Partners or the actual development of future events. No assurance can be given that any of these forward-looking statements or predictions will ultimately prove to be correct or even substantially correct. The risks and uncertainties in these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, changes in demand for leased containers, changes in global business conditions and their effect on world trade, future modifications in the way in which the Partnership's lessees conduct their business or of the profitability of their business, increases or decreases in new container prices or the availability of financing therefor, alterations in the costs of maintaining and repairing used containers, increases in competition, changes in the Partnership's ability to maintain insurance for its containers and its operations, the effects of political conditions on worldwide shipping and demand for global trade or of other general business and economic cycles on the Partnership, as well as other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the Partnership's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Partnership does not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Inapplicable. ITEM 8.

TEXTAINER EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND IV, L.P. (a California Limited Partnership) Notes to Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations Textainer Equipment Income Fund IV, L.P. (TEIF IV or the Partnership), a California limited partnership, with a maximum life of 20 years, was formed on October 30, 1991. The Partnership was formed to engage in the business of owning, leasing and selling both new and used equipment related to the international containerized cargo shipping industry, including, but not limited to, containers, trailers and other container-related equipment. TEIF IV offered units representing limited partnership interests (Units) to the public until April 30, 1994, the close of the offering period, when a total of 6,845,903 Units had been purchased for a total of $136,918. Textainer Financial Services Corporation (TFS) is the managing general partner of the Partnership and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC). Textainer Equipment Management Limited (TEM) and Textainer Limited (TL) are associate general partners of the Partnership. The managing general partner and the associate general partners are collectively referred to as the General Partners and are commonly owned by Textainer Group Holdings Limited (TGH). The General Partners also act in this capacity for other limited partnerships. The General Partners manage and control the affairs of the Partnership. (b) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is recorded when earned according to the terms of the container rental contracts. These contracts are classified as operating leases or direct finance leases if they so qualify under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13: "Accounting for Leases". (c) Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Certain estimates and assumptions were made by the Partnership's management that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnership's management evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis, including those related to the container rental equipment, accounts receivable and accruals. These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Partnership's management believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements. The Partnership maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its lessees to make required payments. These allowances are based on management's current assessment of the financial condition of the Partnership's lessees and their ability to make their required payments. If the financial condition of the Partnership's lessees were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Partnership depreciates its container rental equipment based on certain estimates related to the container's useful life and salvage value. These estimates are based upon assumptions about future demand for leased containers and the estimated sales price at the end of the container's useful life. If these estimates were subsequently revised based on permanent changes in the container leasing market, the Partnership would revise its depreciation policy. Additionally, the recoverability of the recorded amounts of containers is evaluated to ensure that the recorded amount does not exceed the estimated fair value of the containers. If it is determined that the recorded amount exceeds the estimated fair value, the Partnership writes down the value of those containers. In determining the estimated fair value, assumptions are made regarding future demand and market conditions for leased containers as well as for used containers and the sales prices for used containers. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected or if actual sales prices are lower than those estimated by the Partnership, additional write-downs may be required. (d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Partnership calculates the fair value of financial instruments and includes this additional information in the notes to the financial statements when the fair value is different than the book value of those financial instruments. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the fair value of the Partnership's financial instruments (cash, accounts receivable and current liabilities) approximates the related book value of such instruments. (e) Container Rental Equipment Container rental equipment is recorded at the cost of the assets purchased, which includes acquisition fees, less accumulated depreciation charged. Depreciation of new containers is computed using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 12 years to a 28% salvage value. Used containers are depreciated based upon their estimated remaining useful life at the date of acquisition (from 2 to 11 years). When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the equipment accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in income for the period. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121), the Partnership periodically compares the carrying value of the containers to expected future cash flows for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds expected future cash flows, the assets are written down to estimated fair value. In addition, containers identified for disposal are recorded at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. New container prices steadily declined from 1995 through 1999. Although container prices increased in 2000, these prices declined again in 2001. As a result, the cost of new containers purchased in recent years is significantly less than the average cost of containers purchased in prior years. The Partnership evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount of container rental equipment at December 31, 2001 and 2000 for containers to be held for continued use and determined that a reduction to the carrying value of these containers was not required. The Partnership also evaluated the recoverability of the recorded amount of containers identified for sale in the ordinary course of business and determined that a reduction to the carrying value of these containers was required. The Partnership wrote down the value of these containers to their estimated fair value, which was based on recent sales prices less cost of sales. During the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership recorded write-down expenses of $954, $249 and $475, respectively, on 1,284, 344 and 746 containers identified as for sale and requiring a reserve. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the net book value of the 841 and 145 containers identified as for sale was $1,416 and $259, respectively. The Partnership sold 612 of these previously written down containers for a loss of $39 during the year ended December 31, 2001, and sold 320 previously written down containers for a loss of $9 during the same period in 2000. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership sold 1,499 previously written down containers for a loss of $193. The Partnership incurred losses on the sale of some containers previously written down as the actual sales prices received on these containers were lower than the estimates used for the write-downs, primarily due to unexpected declines in container prices. The Partnership also sold containers that had not been written down and recorded losses of $466, $80 and $204 during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. If more containers are subsequently identified for sale or if container sales prices decline, the Partnership may incur additional write-downs on containers and/or may incur losses on the sale of containers. The Partnership will continue to evaluate the recoverability of the recorded amounts of container rental equipment and cautions that a write-down of container rental equipment and/or an increase in its depreciation rate may be required in future periods for some or all of its container rental equipment. In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", and elements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects on Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144 establishes a single-accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of while maintaining many of the provisions relating to impairment testing and valuation. The Statement will be effective on January 1, 2002 and the Partnership is currently assessing the impact adoption will have on the financial condition and operating results of the Partnership. (f) Nature of Income from Operations Although substantially all of the Partnership's income from operations is derived from assets employed in foreign operations, virtually all of this income is denominated in United States dollars. The Partnership's customers are international shipping lines that transport goods on international trade routes. The domicile of the lessee is not indicative of where the lessee is transporting the containers. The Partnership's business risk in its foreign operations lies with the creditworthiness of the lessees rather than the geographic location of the containers or the domicile of the lessees. No single lessee accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999. (g) Allocation of Net Earnings (Loss) and Partnership Distributions In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, sections 3.08 through 3.12, net earnings or losses and distributions are generally allocated 1% to the General Partners and 99% to the Limited Partners. If the allocation of distributions exceeds the allocation of net earnings and creates a deficit in a General Partner's capital account, the Partnership Agreement provides for a special allocation of gross income equal to the amount of the deficit to be made to the General Partners. Actual cash distributions to the Limited Partners differ from the allocated net earnings (losses) as presented in these financial statements because cash distributions are based on cash available for distribution. Cash distributions are paid to the general and limited partners on a monthly basis in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Some limited partners have elected to have their distributions paid quarterly. The Partnership has recorded deferred distributions of $81 and $121 at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. (h) Income Taxes The Partnership is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. The Partnership files federal and state information returns only. Taxable income or loss is reportable by the individual partners. (i) Acquisition Fees In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, acquisition fees equal to 5% of the container purchase price were paid to TEM. These fees are capitalized as part of the cost of the containers. (j) Recovery Costs The Partnership accrues an estimate for recovery costs as a result of defaults under its leases that it expects to incur, which are in excess of estimated insurance proceeds. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the amounts accrued were $226 and $219, respectively. (k) Damage Protection Plan The Partnership offers a Damage Protection Plan (DPP) to lessees of its containers. Under the terms of DPP, the Partnership earns additional revenues on a daily basis and, in return, has agreed to bear certain repair costs. It is the Partnership's policy to recognize revenue when earned and provide a reserve sufficient to cover the estimated future repair costs. DPP expenses are included in direct container expenses in the Statements of Operations and the related reserve at December 31, 2001 and 2000, was $199 and $366, respectively. (l) Warranty Claims During 1996 and 1995, the Partnership settled warranty claims against two container manufacturers. The Partnership is amortizing the settlement amounts over the remaining estimated useful lives of the applicable containers (ten years), reducing maintenance and repair costs over that time. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, the unamortized portion of the settlement amount was $293 and $354, respectively. (m) Limited Partners' Per Unit Share of Net Earnings and Distributions Limited partners' per unit share of both net earnings and distributions were computed using the weighted average number of units outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, which were 6,718,741, 6,775,430, and 6,793,790, respectively. (n) Redemptions The following redemption offerings were consummated by the Partnership during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999:

Note 2. Transactions with Affiliates As part of the operation of the Partnership, the Partnership is to pay to the General Partners an acquisition fee, an equipment management fee, an incentive management fee and an equipment liquidation fee. These fees are for various services provided in connection with the administration and management of the Partnership. The Partnership capitalized $29, $157, and $73 of container acquisition fees as part of container rental equipment costs during the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The Partnership incurred $340, $399, and $472 of incentive management fees during each of the three years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. No equipment liquidation fees were incurred during these periods. The Partnership's containers are managed by TEM. In its role as manager, TEM has authority to acquire, hold, manage, lease, sell and dispose of the containers. TEM holds, for the payment of direct operating expenses, a reserve of cash that has been collected from leasing operations; such cash is included in due from affiliates, net, at December 31, 2001 and 2000. Subject to certain reductions, TEM receives a monthly equipment management fee equal to 7% of gross lease revenues attributable to master operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenues attributable to full payout net leases. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, equipment management fees totaled $955, $1,208, and $1,206, respectively. Certain indirect general and administrative costs such as salaries, employee benefits, taxes and insurance are incurred in performing administrative services necessary to the operation of the Partnership. These costs are incurred and paid by TEM and TFS. Total general and administrative costs allocated to the Partnership were as follows: 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Salaries $432 $450 $508 Other 291 420 405 --- --- ---- Total general and administrative costs $723 $870 $913 === === === TEM allocates these general and administrative costs based on the ratio of the Partnership's interest in the managed containers to the total container fleet managed by TEM during the period. TFS allocates these costs based on the ratio of the Partnership's containers to the total container fleet of all limited partnerships managed by TFS. The General Partners allocated the following general and administrative costs to the Partnership: 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- TEM $632 $758 $816 TFS 91 112 97 --- --- --- Total general and administrative costs $723 $870 $913 === === === The General Partners may acquire containers in their own name and hold title on a temporary basis for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of such containers for the Partnership. The containers may then be resold to the Partnership on an all-cash basis at a price equal to the actual cost, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. One or more General Partners may also arrange for the purchase of containers in its or their names, and the Partnership may then take title to the containers by paying the seller directly. In addition, the General Partners are entitled to an acquisition fee for containers acquired by the Partnership under any of these arrangements. At December 31, 2001 and 2000, due from affiliates, net, is comprised of: 2001 2000 ---- ---- Due from affiliates: Due from TEM................. $458 $758 --- --- Due to affiliates: Due to TL..................... 1 1 Due to TCC.................... 23 12 Due to TFS.................... 28 41 --- --- 52 54 --- --- Due from affiliates, net $406 $704 === === These amounts receivable from and payable to affiliates were incurred in the ordinary course of business between the Partnership and its affiliates and represent timing differences in the accrual and remittance of expenses, fees and distributions described above or in the accrual and remittance of net rental revenues and container sales proceeds from TEM. Note 3. Lease Rental Income (unaudited) Leasing income arises principally from the renting of containers to various international shipping lines. Revenue is recorded when earned according to the terms of the container rental contracts. These contracts are typically for terms of five years or less. The following is the lease mix of the on-lease containers (in units) at December 31, 2001 and 2000: 2001 2000 ---- ---- On-lease under master leases 12,021 19,735 On-lease under long-term leases 5,241 4,782 ------ ------ Total on-lease containers 17,262 24,517 ====== ====== Under master lease agreements, the lessee is not committed to lease a minimum number of containers from the Partnership during the lease term and may generally return any portion or all the containers to the Partnership at any time, subject to certain restrictions in the lease agreement. Under long-term lease agreements, containers are usually leased from the Partnership for periods of between three to five years. Such leases are generally cancelable with a penalty at the end of each twelve-month period. Under direct finance leases, the containers are usually leased from the Partnership for the remainder of the container's useful life with a purchase option at the end of the lease term. The remaining containers are off-lease and are being stored primarily at a large number of storage depots in the following locations: America 3,296 Europe 2,070 Asia 8,783 ------ Total off-lease containers 14,149 ====== At December 31, 2001 approximately 6% of the Partnership's off-lease containers had been specifically identified as for sale. Note 4. Income Taxes At December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, there were temporary differences of $47,769, $55,481, and $60,487, respectively, between the financial statement carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and the federal income tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The reconciliation of net income (loss) for financial statement purposes to net income for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 is as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. There have been none. PART III ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT The Registrant has no officers or directors. As described in the Prospectus, the Registrant's three original general partners were TCC, TEM and Textainer Inc. (TI), which comprised the original Textainer Group. Effective October 1, 1993, the Textainer Group restructured its organization by forming a new holding company, Textainer Group Holdings Limited (TGH), and the shareholders of the underlying companies which include the General Partners accepted shares in TGH in exchange for their shares in the individual companies. Textainer Financial Services Corporation (TFS) is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership (prior to its name change on April 4, 1994, TFS was known as Textainer Capital Corporation). TFS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC) (prior to its name change on April 4, 1994, TCC was known as Textainer (Delaware) Inc.). Textainer Equipment Management Limited (TEM) is an Associate General Partner of the Partnership. TI was an Associate General Partner of the Partnership through September 30, 1993 when it was replaced in that capacity by Textainer Limited (TL), pursuant to the corporate restructuring effective October 1, 1993, which caused TFS, TEM and TL to fall under the common ownership of TGH. Pursuant to this restructuring, TI transferred substantially all of its assets including all of its rights and duties as Associate General Partner to TL. This transfer was effective from October 1, 1993. The end result was that TFS now serves as the Managing General Partner and TEM and TL now serve as the Associate General Partners. The Managing General Partner and Associate General Partners are collectively referred to as the General Partners and are wholly-owned subsidiaries of TGH. The General Partners also act in this capacity for other limited partnerships.

TL provides advice to the Partnership regarding negotiations with financial institutions, manufacturers and equipment owners, and regarding the terms upon which particular items of equipment are acquired. Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. -------------------------------------------------------- Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Partnership's General Partners, policy-making officials and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of the Units to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of these reports must also be furnished to the Partnership. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Partnership or on written representations that no forms were required to be filed, the Partnership believes that with respect to its most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with. No member of management, or beneficial owner owned more than 10 percent of any interest in the Partnership. None of the individuals subject to Section 16(a) failed to file or filed late any reports of transactions in the Units.
