(1)    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        (a)    Nature of Operations
 
             IEA Income Fund XI, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California on July 30, 1990 for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers worldwide to ocean carriers. To this extent, the Partnership’s operations are subject to the fluctuations of world economic and political conditions. Such factors may affect the pattern and levels of world trade. The Partnership 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 Partnership’s leases generally require all payments to be made in United States currency.
 
             Cronos Capital Corp. (“CCC”) is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the “Leasing Company”), manages the business of the Partnership. CCC and the Leasing Company also manage the container leasing business for other partnerships affiliated with CCC. The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2010, unless sooner terminated upon the occurrence of certain events.
 
             The Partnership commenced operations on January 31, 1991, when the minimum subscription proceeds of $1,000,000 were obtained. The Partnership offered 2,000,000 units of limited partnership interest at $20 per unit, or $40,000,000. The offering terminated on November 30, 1991, at which time 1,999,812 limited partnership units had been sold.
 
        (b)    Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement
 
             A Leasing Agent Agreement exists between the Partnership and the Leasing Company, 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, and 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. Net lease revenue is recorded by the Partnership in each period based upon its leasing agent agreement with the Leasing Company. Net lease revenue is generally dependent upon operating lease rentals from operating lease agreements between the Leasing Company and its various lessees, less direct operating expenses and management fees due in respect of the containers specified in each operating lease agreement.
 
        (d)    Container Rental Equipment
 
             SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” was adopted by the Partnership effective January 1, 2002, without a significant impact on its financial statements. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, container rental equipment is considered to be impaired if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets are written down to fair value. Depreciation policies are also evaluated to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. Because the Partnership evaluates future cash flows and potential impairment by container type rather than for each individual container, future losses could result for individual container dispositions due to various factors, including age, condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographical location of containers when disposed. There were no impairment charges to the carrying value of container rental equipment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.
 
             In the second quarter of 2001, the Leasing Company undertook a review of the Partnership’s refrigerated container equipment. The purpose of the review was to consider recent changes in the marketplace and economic environment and to identify the consequences, if any, from an accounting perspective. The Leasing Company identified a number of issues that had an impact on the carrying value of certain equipment at June 30, 2001.

         
    i.   In 1992, the Montreal Protocol outlawed the production of the R12 refrigerant gas by developed countries. Since that date, shipping lines and leasing companies have operated fleets including refrigerated container equipment with the R12 refrigerant gas (the “R12 Containers”). However, the environmental impact of refrigerant gases has become increasingly prominent. On January 1, 2001, it became illegal for R12 to be handled, other than for disposal, in almost all countries that are members of the European Union.  
 
    ii.   Several of the major shipping lines that lease from the Leasing Company, as well as other leasing companies, have committed to eliminating R12 Containers from their fleets in 2001. Inventories consisting of R12 Containers will continue to increase as shipping lines redeliver the containers from existing leases.  
 
    iii.   During 2000, the Leasing Company completed a number of term leases for R12 Containers. However, over the course of 2001, the factors outlined above, together with the deteriorating economic environment, resulted in a very slow leasing market for R12 Containers. In addition, it is probable that residual prices for R12 Containers will decrease as R12 containers are redelivered from existing leases.

        (d)    Container Rental Equipment (continued)
 
             The Leasing Company considered the impact of these factors in June 2001 and decided to change the current marketing strategy for R12 Containers. The Leasing Company concluded that effective July 1, 2001, inventories of R12 Containers would be targeted for immediate sale. The Leasing Company also conducted a review of R12 Containers that were on lease at June 30, 2001.
 
             Assets to be disposed of: In June 2001 the Leasing Company committed to a plan to dispose of 31 R12 Containers with a carrying value of $271,506. It was concluded that the carrying value of these R12 containers exceeded fair value and accordingly, an impairment charge of $193,256 was recorded to operations under impairment losses. It is expected that these R12 Containers will be disposed of over the next several quarters. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership sold three refrigerated containers which were targeted for sale as of June 30, 2001. The Partnership recognized a gain of $2,828 on these containers.
 
             Assets to be held and used: The Leasing Company conducted a review of 52 R12 Containers with a carrying value of $443,136 that were on lease at June 30, 2001. It was concluded that the carrying value of these R12 Containers exceeded the future cash flows expected to result from the use of these containers and their eventual disposition, and therefore was not recoverable. Accordingly, in June, 2001, a charge of $225,394 was recorded to operations under impairment losses. Fair value was determined by discounting future expected cash flows.
 
             Container rental equipment is depreciated using the straight-line basis. Effective June 1, 2001, the estimated depreciable life was changed from a twelve-year life to a fifteen-year life and the estimated salvage value was changed from 30% to 10% of the original equipment cost. The effect of these changes is an increase to depreciation expense of approximately $17,900 from January 1 to March 31, 2002.
 
        (e)    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 financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
             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. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(4)    Operating Segment
 
     An operating segment is a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the enterprise’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and about which separate financial information is available. Management operates the Partnership’s container fleet as a homogenous unit and has determined that as such it has a single reportable operating segment.
 
     The Partnership derives its revenues from leasing marine cargo containers. As of March 31, 2002, the Partnership operated 3,313 twenty-foot, 1,898 forty-foot and 121 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, as well as 95 twenty-foot and 35 forty-foot marine refrigerated cargo containers. A summary of gross lease revenue, by product, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001 follows:

                    
    Three Months Ended
   
    March 31,   March 31,
    2002   2001
   
 
Dry cargo containers
  $ 404,370     $ 661,058  
Refrigerated containers
    43,861       65,973  
 
   
     
 
Total
  $ 448,231     $ 727,031  
 
   
     
 

     Due to the Partnership’s lack of information regarding the physical location of its fleet of containers when on lease in the global shipping trade, it is impracticable to provide the geographic area information.
 
(5)    New Accounting Pronouncements
 
     In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This standard requires a company to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, and a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. The Registrant is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 143 will have on its financial statements.

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.

General

A Leasing Agent Agreement exists between the Registrant and the Leasing Company, 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. At March 31, 2002, 54% of the original equipment remained in the Registrant’s fleet, as compared to 59% at December 31, 2001. The following chart summarizes the composition of the Registrant’s fleet (based on container type) at March 31, 2002.

During 2001, demand for dry cargo containers was adversely affected by the slowdown in the global economy resulting in an excess supply of containers in many locations. As a result of increasing worldwide container inventories during 2001, cautious forecasts for global economic recovery and a reduction in the level of capital available for new production, the demand for new container production declined. Accordingly, prices for new containers reached historic lows, creating further downward pressure on lease per-diem rates and container residual values.

At the end of 2001, the Registrant, CCC and the Leasing Company viewed this slowdown in new container production as having positive short and long-term effects for the container leasing industry. During the first quarter of 2002, the reduction in the level of funding for new container production, as well as a general improvement in the world’s economic climate, contributed to a decline in the level of off-hire container inventories for both leasing companies and shipping lines. During this period, the Registrant experienced an increase in demand for its dry cargo containers. The average monthly utilization of the Registrant’s dry cargo fleet increased from 72% in December 2001 to 74% in March 2002. At April 30, 2002, utilization of the Registrant’s dry cargo fleet had increased to approximately 76%. However, lease per-diem rates, which are influenced by new container prices and borrowing rates, remain depressed. An improvement in lease per-diem rates is not expected until new container prices increase to much higher levels. The Registrant, CCC and the Leasing Company expect the demand for cargo containers to continue to strengthen into the second quarter of 2002. The Leasing Company, on behalf of the

Registrant, will seek to exploit the improving demand by repositioning off-hire equipment to locations of greatest demand and by pursuing leasing opportunities through the Leasing Company’s global marketing network. Continued improvement throughout the latter part of 2002 will be dependent on the recovery and sustained growth of the global economy.

Despite recent improvements in container leasing market conditions, the effect of the slowdown in global economic conditions on the container leasing industry’s customers, the shipping lines, coupled with their acquisition of new, larger container ships, have created a condition of excess shipping capacity. The uncertainty over the financial strength of the shipping industry appears to favor the larger more established shipping lines. The Registrant, CCC and the Leasing Company continue to remain cautious, with the expectation that some shipping lines, especially those involved with trans-Pacific trade, may experience financial difficulty, insolvency, or consolidation and ultimately influence the demand for leased containers. Although the ultimate outcome, as well as its impact on the container leasing industry and the Registrant’s results of operations is unknown, CCC, on behalf of the Registrant, will work closely with the Leasing Company to monitor outstanding receivables, collections, and credit exposure to various existing and new customers.

The Registrant’s average fleet size and utilization rates for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001 were as follows:

                         
      Three Months Ended
     
      March 31,   March 31,
      2002   2001
     
 
Average fleet size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU))
               
 
Dry cargo containers
    7,723       9,841  
 
Refrigerated containers
    173       197  
Average utilization rates
               
 
Dry cargo containers
    72 %     78 %
 
Refrigerated containers
    47 %     55 %

Average dry cargo container per-diem rental rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 declined approximately 20%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. Average refrigerated container per-diem rental rates for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 declined approximately 11%, when compared to the same period in the prior year.

The primary component of the Registrant’s results of operations is net lease revenue. Net lease revenue 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. Net lease revenue is directly related to the size, utilization and per-diem rental rates of the Registrant’s fleet.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2001

Loss from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $354,154, compared to a loss of $222,622 during the corresponding period of 2001. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in net lease revenue of $194,143, offset by a $72,733 decline in depreciation expense.

Net lease revenue of $273,526 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $194,143 lower than the corresponding period of 2001. The decrease was due to a $278,800 decline in gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) from the same period in 2001. Gross rental revenue was impacted by the Registrant’s smaller fleet size, lower per-diem rental rates and lower combined fleet utilization rates. Other components of net lease revenue, including rental equipment operating expenses, management fees, and reimbursed administrative expenses, were lower by a combined $84,657 when compared to the corresponding period in 2001, and partially offset the decline in gross lease revenue. Contributing to the decline in rental equipment operating expenses were declines in repair and maintenance expenses and storage costs.

Depreciation expense of $327,312 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 was $72,733 lower than the same period in 2001 due to a declining fleet size. Effective June 1, 2001, the Registrant changed the estimated life of its rental container equipment from an estimated 12 year life to a 15 year life, and its estimated salvage value from 30% to 10% of original equipment cost. The effect of these changes was an increase in depreciation expense of approximately $17,900 for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

Other general and administrative expenses decreased to $24,439 in the first quarter of 2002, from $29,611 in the corresponding period of 2001, representing an decrease of $5,172 from the same period in 2001. Contributing to this decline were legal costs and net exchange rate losses.

Net loss on disposal of equipment was a result of the Registrant disposing of 486 containers during the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to 467 containers during the same period in 2001. These disposals resulted in a loss of $275,929 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, as compared to a loss of $260,635 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001. The Registrant believes that the net loss on container disposals in the three-month period ended March 31, 2002 was a result of various factors including the age, condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographical location of the containers when disposed. These factors will continue to influence the decision to repair or dispose of a container when it is returned by a lessee, as well as the amount of sales proceeds received and the related gain or loss on container disposals. The level of the Registrant’s container disposals in subsequent periods will also contribute to fluctuations in the net gain or loss on disposals. There were no reductions to the carrying value of container rental equipment during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2002 and 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash from Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities was $260,053 and $492,782 during the first three months of 2002 and 2001, respectively, primarily generated from the billing and collections of net lease revenue.

Cash from Investing Activities: Net cash provided by investing activities during the three-month periods ending March 31, 2002 and 2001, included sales proceeds generated from the sale of rental equipment of $312,050 and $422,754, respectively.

Cash from Financing Activities: Net cash used in financing activities was $627,180 during the first three months of 2002 compared to $1,149,102 in the corresponding period of 2001. These amounts represent distributions to the Registrant’s general and limited partners. The Registrant’s continuing container disposals, as well as current market conditions, should produce lower operating results and, consequently, lower distributions to its partners in subsequent periods. Sales proceeds distributed to its partners may fluctuate in subsequent periods, reflecting the level of container disposals.

Capital Resources

Aside from the initial working capital reserve retained from the gross subscription proceeds (equal to approximately 1% of such proceeds), the Registrant relied primarily on container rental receipts to generate distributions to its general and limited partners, as well as to finance current operating needs. No credit lines are maintained to finance working capital.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. This standard requires a company to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, and a corresponding increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. The Registrant is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 143 will have on its financial statements.

Inflation

The Registrant believes inflation has not had a material adverse effect on the results of its operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Exchange rate risk: Substantially all of the Registrant’s revenues are billed and paid in US dollars and a significant portion of costs are billed and paid in US dollars. Of the remaining costs, the majority are individually small, unpredictable and incurred in various denominations and thus are not suitable for cost effective hedging.

The Leasing Company may hedge a portion of the expenses that are predictable and are principally in UK pounds sterling. As exchange rates are outside of the control of the Registrant and Leasing Company, there can be no assurance that such fluctuations will not adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.
