The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 6 7 IEA INCOME FUND IX, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations IEA Income Fund IX, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California on June 8, 1988 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers. Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing Company"), manages and controls the business of the Partnership. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Partnership, all authority to administer the business of the Partnership is vested in CCC. CCC has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years). Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these financial statements. (c) Basis of Accounting The Partnership utilizes the accrual method of accounting. Revenue is recognized when earned. The Partnership has determined that for accounting purposes the Leasing Agent Agreement is a lease, and the receivables, payables, gross revenues and operating expenses attributable to the containers managed by the Leasing Company are, for accounting purposes, those of the Leasing Company and not of the Partnership. Consequently, the Partnership's balance sheets and statements of operations display the payments to be received by the Partnership from the Leasing Company as the Partnership's receivables and revenues. (Continued) 7 8 IEA INCOME FUND IX, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (d) Financial Statement Presentation These financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting procedures have been omitted. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes in the Partnership's latest annual report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the Partnership to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. The interim financial statements presented herewith reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented. (2) Net Lease Receivables Due from Leasing Company Net lease receivables due from the Leasing Company are determined by deducting direct operating payables and accrued expenses, base management fees payable, and reimbursed administrative expenses payable to CCC, the Leasing Company, and its affiliates from the rental billings payable by the Leasing Company to the Partnership under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease receivables at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as follows:
June 30, December 31, 1996 1995 -------- ------------ Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $247,762 at June 30, 1996 and $138,066 at December 31, 1995 $905,130 $944,386 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 112,959 148,076 Damage protection reserve 82,158 108,033 Base management fees 63,375 82,254 Reimbursed administrative expenses 13,769 16,145 -------- -------- $632,869 $589,878 ======== ========
(3) Due to General Partner The amounts due to CCC at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 consist of acquisition fees. (Continued) 8 9 IEA INCOME FUND IX, L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (4) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC, and the Leasing Company, from the rental revenue billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three and six- month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, was as follows:

9 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations It is suggested that the following discussion be read in conjunction with the Registrant's most recent annual report on Form 10-K. 1) Material changes in financial condition between June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. During the first six months of 1996, the Registrant disposed of 100 containers as part of its ongoing operations, contributing to the change in the Registrant's financial condition. At June 30, 1996, 94% of the original equipment remained in the Registrant's fleet, as compared to 96% at December 31, 1995, comprised as follows:
40-Foot 20-Foot 40-Foot High-Cube ------- ------- --------- Containers on lease: Term leases 131 48 78 Master lease 1,580 544 1,234 ----- --- ----- Subtotal 1,711 592 1,312 Containers off lease 480 161 215 ----- --- ----- Total container fleet 2,191 753 1,527 ===== === =====
40-Foot 20-Foot 40-Foot High-Cube -------------- -------------- -------------- Units % Units % Units % ----- ---- ----- ---- ----- ---- Total purchases 2,327 100% 799 100% 1,653 100% Less disposals 136 6% 46 6% 126 8% ----- --- --- --- ----- --- Remaining fleet at June 30, 1996 2,191 94% 753 94% 1,527 92% ===== === === === ===== ===
Net lease receivables at June 30, 1996 increased when compared to the December 31, 1995 balance, as cash collections of outstanding lease receivables slowed. The decline in fleet size and its operating performance also contributed to the increase in net lease receivables, as direct operating payables, reimbursed administrative expenses payable, base management and incentive fees payable declined. During the second quarter of 1996, distributions from operations and sales proceeds amounted to $613,635, reflecting distributions to the general and limited partners for the first quarter of 1996. This represents a decline from the $703,089 distributed during the first quarter of 1996, reflecting distributions for the fourth quarter of 1995. Additional container disposals should contribute to lower operating results and, consequently, lower distributions from operations to its partners in subsequent periods. However, sales proceeds distributed to its partners may fluctuate in subsequent periods, reflecting the level of container disposals. The statements contained in the following discussion are based on current expectations. These statements are forward looking and actual results may differ materially. The container leasing market generally softened during the fourth quarter of 1995 and has remained so during the first six months of 1996. At June 30, 1996, container inventories remained at larger-than-usual levels, resulting in a decline in the Registrant's utilization rates from 87% at December 31, 1995 to 82% at June 30, 1996. Base per-diem rates have become subject to downward pressures arising from a soft container leasing market. During the first six months of 1996, the Leasing Company implemented various marketing strategies, including but not limited to, offering incentives to shipping companies and repositioning containers to high demand locations in order to counter these market conditions. Accordingly, ancillary per-diems have fluctuated, favoring a downward trend, while free-day incentives offered to shipping companies have risen. Currently, there are no visible signs of improvements in the leasing market and hence further downward pressure on rental rates can be expected in the ensuing quarters. As a result, these leasing markets conditions, combined with the Registrant's disposal of containers, will continue to impact the Registrant's results from operations during the remainder of 1996. 10 11 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995. Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 was $441,029, and $1,008,642, respectively, a decline of 36% and 26% from the same three and six-month periods in the prior year, respectively. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 was $788,590 and $1,630,637, respectively, reflecting a decline of 17% and 13% from the same three and six-month periods in 1995, respectively. During 1996, gross rental revenue was primarily impacted by the Registrant's lower per-diem rental rates and utilization levels. Average per-diem rental rates decreased approximately 4% and 3%, when compared to the same three and six-month periods in the prior year, respectively, as they became subject to the downward pressures of an increasingly soft container leasing market. The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended -------------------- --------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 -------- -------- -------- -------- Average Fleet Size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) 6,812 6,972 6,856 6,987 Average Utilization 81% 91% 82% 91%
The Registrant's declining fleet size contributed to a 2% decline in depreciation expense in each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, when compared to the same three and six-month periods in the prior year, respectively. Rental equipment operating expenses were 33% and 27% of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively, as compared to 15% and 16% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively. This increase was largely attributable to a decline in gross lease revenue resulting from lower per-diem rates, a downward trend in ancillary per-diems, and an increase in free-day incentives offered to shipping companies. Costs associated with lower utilization levels, including handling, storage and repositioning also contributed to the increase in the rental equipment operating expenses, as a percentage of gross lease revenue. The Registrant's diminishing fleet size and related operating performance contributed to the decline in base management and incentive fees, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
