Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Nature of Operations Cronos Global Income Fund XV, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of California on August 26, 1993, for the purpose of owning and leasing marine cargo containers, special purpose containers and container related equipment. Cronos Capital Corp. ("CCC") is the general partner and, with its affiliate Cronos Containers Limited (the "Leasing Company"), manages the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall continue until December 31, 2012, unless sooner terminated upon the occurrence of certain events. The Partnership commenced operations on February 22, 1994, when the minimum subscription proceeds of $2,000,000 were received from over 100 subscribers (excluding from such count Pennsylvania residents, the general partner, and all affiliates of the general partner). The Partnership offered 7,500,000 units of limited partnership interest at $20 per unit or $150,000,000. The offering terminated on December 15, 1995, at which time 7,151,569 limited partnership units had been purchased. As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership operated 25,725 twenty-foot, 8,709 forty-foot and 1,783 forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers, 463 twenty-foot and 100 forty-foot refrigerated containers and 228 twenty four thousand-liter tanks. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement The Partnership has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly two to five years). Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these financial statements. 7 8 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XV, L.P. Notes to Unaudited 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) 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. 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. (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 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, 1997 and December 31, 1996 were as follows:
June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ---------- ---------- Lease receivables, net of doubtful accounts of $125,888 at June 30, 1997 and $103,642 at December 31, 1996 $5,020,832 $4,774,921 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 1,355,913 1,121,152 Damage protection reserve 399,378 369,212 Base management fees 405,202 347,587 Reimbursed administrative expenses 92,248 101,573 ---------- ---------- $2,768,091 $2,835,397 ========== ==========
8 9 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XV, L.P. Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements (3) Due to General Partner The amount due to CCC at December 31, 1996 consists of acquisition fees. (4) Net Lease Revenue Net lease revenue is determined by deducting direct operating expenses, base management fees and reimbursed administrative expenses to CCC and its affiliates from the rental revenue billed by the Leasing Company under operating leases to ocean carriers for the containers owned by the Partnership. Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 were 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, 1997 and December 31, 1996. During the first quarter of 1997, the Registrant expended $633,000 of unused proceeds to pay for containers purchased and accepted during 1996. Additionally, during the first quarter of 1997, the Registrant expended $578,348 of cash generated from sales proceeds to pay for containers purchased from the general partner and a manufacturer during the first quarter of 1997. At June 30, 1997, the Registrant had approximately $298,000 in cash generated from equipment sales reserved as part of its cash balances. Throughout the remainder of 1997, the Registrant expects to continue using cash generated from equipment sales to purchase and replace containers which have been lost or damaged beyond repair. The Registrant's cash distribution from operations for the second quarter of 1997 was 8.25% (annualized) of the limited partners' original capital contribution, unchanged from the first quarter of 1997. These distributions are directly related to the Registrant's results from operations and may fluctuate accordingly. During 1996, ocean carriers and other transport companies moved away from leasing containers outright, as declining container prices, favorable interest rates and the abundance of available capital resulted in ocean carriers and transport companies purchasing a larger share of equipment for their own account, reducing the demand for leased containers. Once the demand for leased containers began to fall, per-diem rental rates were also adversely affected, contributing to an uncertain start to 1997. Since the beginning of the year, the container leasing industry has experienced an upward trend in container utilization. The impact of this trend on the utilization rates of the Registrant has been mixed. The Registrant's dry and refrigerated container utilization rates increased from 81% and 91% at December 31, 1996, respectively, to 85% and 97% at June 30, 1997, respectively. However, tank container utilization rates declined from 87% at December 31, 1996 to 84% at June 30, 1997. During 1996, shipping lines and other transport companies had reduced their leased fleets to minimal levels in an attempt to reduce costs. However, increasing cargo volumes and continued equipment imbalances within the container fleets of shipping lines and transport companies have established a need for these companies to replenish their leased fleets. Although there has been a general improvement in container utilization rates, per-diem rental rates continue to remain under pressure. The decline in per-diem rental rates from those evidenced during 1996 can be attributed to the following factors: three new leasing companies have offered new containers and low rental rates in an effort to break into the leasing market; established leasing companies have reduced rates to very low levels; and a continued over supply of containers. Although these conditions are expected to continue to impact the Registrant's financial condition and operating performance throughout 1997, the long-term outlook remains a positive one. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. Net lease revenue for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 was $3,239,316 and $6,381,050, respectively, a decline of approximately 9% and 5% from the same 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, 1997 was $5,127,516 and $10,284,385, respectively, reflecting a decrease of 6% and 1% from the same periods in the prior year, respectively. During 1997, gross lease revenue was primarily impacted by a slightly lower fleet size and lower per-diem rental rates. Average dry cargo container per-diem rental rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 declined 9% and 7%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. Average refrigerated container per-diem rental rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 declined 18% and 11%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. The average tank container per-diem rental rate for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 declined 11% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The tank container per-diem rental rate remained unchanged from the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. 10 11 Company's fiscal year and a copy shall be delivered to Executive within fifteen (15) days thereafter. The Board of Directors shall, in their sole discretion, determine whether such impact goals have been obtained. 3.4 Withholdings. All compensation and benefits payable to Executive hereunder shall be subject to all federal, state, local and other withholdings and similar taxes and payments required by applicable law. ARTICLE 4 EXPENSE ALLOWANCES AND FRINGE BENEFITS 4.1 Vacation. Executive shall be entitled to the greater of three (3) weeks of annual paid vacation or the amount of annual paid vacation to which Executive may become entitled under the terms of Company's vacation policy for employees during the term of this Agreement. 4.2 Benefits. During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall also provide Executive with the usual health insurance benefits it generally provides to its other senior management employees. As Executive becomes eligible in accordance with criteria to be adopted by the Company, the Company shall provide Executive with the right to participate in and to receive benefits from life, accident, disability, medical, pension, bonus, stock, profit-sharing and savings plans and similar benefits made available generally to employees of the Company as such plans and benefits may be adopted by the Company, provided that Executive shall during the term of this Agreement be entitled to receive at a minimum standard medical and dental benefits similar to those typically afforded to Chief Financial officers in similar sized biotechnology companies. The amount and extent of benefits to which Executive is entitled shall be governed by the specific benefit plan as it may be amended from time to time. 4.3 Stock Loans. Certain indebtedness in the aggregate amount of $15,000, incurred by the Executive in connection with the purchase of securities from the Company, shall be repaid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Promissory Note between the Executive and the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4.4 Relocation Loan. The Company has previously loaned to Executive the principal amount of $87,500 relating to certain relocation expenses. The parties agree that the terms of the loan shall be changed as of the date of this Agreement such that the loan shall have a term ending March 1, 2000 and an interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. Executive agrees to execute a Promissory Note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Such principal indebtedness and all interest accrued to that -4- 12 The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ------------------ -------------------- June 30, June 30, June 30, June 30, 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- ------- ------- -------- Average Fleet Size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) Dry cargo containers 46,723 45,254 46,646 43,821 Refrigerated cargo containers 663 663 663 630 Tank containers 228 221 229 207 Average Utilization Dry cargo containers 84% 82% 83% 81% Refrigerated cargo containers 92% 88% 91% 76% Tank containers 84% 89% 85% 89%
Utilization rates of the Registrant's fleet fluctuated upward and stabilized, as the Registrant fully invested the remaining net proceeds from its offering in container equipment through the first half of 1997. Rental equipment operating expenses were 25% and 26% of the Registrant's gross lease revenue during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, as compared to 22% and 23% during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996, respectively. This increase was largely attributable to an increase in costs associated with the Registrant's growing fleet, including handling, storage and repairs. The Registrant disposed of 28 twenty-foot, seven forty-foot, and three forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo as well as one twenty four-thousand liter tank container during the second quarter of 1997, as compared to 12 twenty-foot, nine forty-foot and one forty-foot high-cube marine dry cargo containers during the second quarter of 1996. The decision to repair or dispose of a container is made when it is returned by a lessee. This decision is influenced by various factors including the age, condition, suitability for continued leasing, as well as the geographical location of the container when disposed. These factors also influence the amount of sales proceeds received and the related gain on container disposals. As reported in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K and Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on February 7, 1997 and February 26, 1997, respectively, Arthur Andersen, London, England, resigned as auditors of The Cronos Group, a Luxembourg Corporation headquartered in Orchard Lea, England (the "Parent Company"), on February 3, 1997. The Parent Company is the indirect corporate parent of Cronos Capital Corp., the general partner of the Registrant. In its letter of resignation to the Parent Company, Arthur Andersen states that it resigned as auditors of the Parent Company and all other entities affiliated with the Parent Company. While its letter of resignation was not addressed to the general partner or the Registrant, Arthur Andersen confirmed to the general partner that its resignation as auditors of the entities referred to in its letter of resignation included its resignation as auditors of Cronos Capital Corp. and the Registrant. Following Arthur Andersen's resignation, the Parent Company subsequently received notification from the Securities and Exchange Commission that it was conducting a private investigation of the Parent Company regarding the events and circumstances leading to Arthur Andersen's resignation. The results of this investigation are still pending. Accordingly, the Registrant does not, at this time, have sufficient information to determine the impact, if any, that the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of the Parent Company and the concerns expressed by Arthur Andersen in its letter of resignation may have on the future operating results and financial condition of the Registrant or the Leasing Company's ability to manage the Registrant's fleet in subsequent periods. However, the general partner of the Registrant does not believe, based upon the information currently available to it, that Arthur Andersen's resignation was triggered by any concern over the accounting policies and procedures followed by the Registrant. 11 13 Arthur Andersen's report on the financial statements of Cronos Capital Corp. and the Registrant, for either of the previous two years, has not contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was any such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Registrant's previous two fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding Arthur Andersen's resignation, there have been no disagreements between Cronos Capital Corp. or the Registrant and Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure. The Registrant retained a new auditor, Moore Stephens, P.C. ("Moore Stephens") on April 10, 1997, as reported in the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed April 14, 1997. The President of the Leasing Company, a subsidiary of the Parent Company, along with two marketing Vice Presidents, resigned in June 1997. These vacancies were filled by qualified, long-time employees who average over 15 years of experience in the container leasing industry, therefore providing continuity in the management of the Leasing Company. The Registrant and general partner do not believe these changes will have a material impact on the future operating results and financial condition of the Registrant. Cautionary Statement This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements relating to future results of the Registrant, including certain projections and business trends, that are "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in: economic conditions; trade policies; demand for and market acceptance of leased marine cargo containers; competitive utilization and per-diem rental rate pressures; as well as other risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those described in the above discussion of the marine container leasing business under Item 2., Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and those detailed from time to time in the filings of Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 12 14 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 6.
