The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed financial statements. 6 7 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XV, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (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 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 the general partner. 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. (b) Leasing Company and Leasing Agent Agreement The Partnership has entered into a Leasing Agent Agreement whereby the Leasing Company has the responsibility to manage the leasing operations of all equipment owned by the Partnership. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Leasing Company is responsible for leasing, managing and re-leasing the Partnership's containers to ocean carriers, and has full discretion over which ocean carriers and suppliers of goods and services it may deal with. The Leasing Agent Agreement permits the Leasing Company to use the containers owned by the Partnership, together with other containers owned or managed by the Leasing Company and its affiliates, as part of a single fleet operated without regard to ownership. Since the Leasing Agent Agreement meets the definition of an operating lease in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 13, it is accounted for as a lease under which the Partnership is lessor and the Leasing Company is lessee. The Leasing Agent Agreement generally provides that the Leasing Company will make payments to the Partnership based upon rentals collected from ocean carriers after deducting direct operating expenses and management fees to CCC and the Leasing Company. The Leasing Company leases containers to ocean carriers, generally under operating leases which are either master leases or term leases (mostly one to five years). Master leases do not specify the exact number of containers to be leased or the term that each container will remain on hire but allow the ocean carrier to pick up and drop off containers at various locations; rentals are based upon the number of containers used and the applicable per-diem rate. Accordingly, rentals under master leases are all variable and contingent upon the number of containers used. Most containers are leased to ocean carriers under master leases; leasing agreements with fixed payment terms are not material to the financial statements. Since there are no material minimum lease rentals, no disclosure of minimum lease rentals is provided in these condensed financial statements. (Continued) 7 8 CRONOS GLOBAL INCOME FUND XV, L.P. NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (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 condensed financial statements have been prepared without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted. It is suggested that these condensed 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 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 period presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. (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 September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 were as follows:
September 30, December 31, 2000 1999 ------------- ------------ Gross lease receivables $4,242,482 $4,570,004 Less: Direct operating payables and accrued expenses 1,299,989 802,646 Damage protection reserve 390,161 203,241 Base management fees 312,361 344,992 Reimbursed administrative expenses 205,714 77,649 Rental equipment payable 410,750 -- Acquisition fees payable 21,263 -- Allowance for doubtful accounts 1,033,011 865,157 ---------- ---------- Net lease receivables $ 569,233 $2,276,319 ========== ==========

(4) Operating Segment The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," which changes the way public business enterprises report financial and descriptive information about reportable operating segments. 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, after considering the requirements of SFAS No. 131, that as such it has a single reportable operating segment. The Partnership derives its revenues from cargo marine containers. As of September 30, 2000, the Partnership operated 25,765 twenty-foot, 8,615 forty-foot and 2,010 forty-foot high-cube dry cargo marine containers, as well as 462 twenty-foot and 99 forty-foot high-cube refrigerated cargo containers, and 226 twenty-four thousand-liter tanks. A summary of gross lease revenue, by product, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ------------------------------- -------------------------------- September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 2000 1999 1999 1999 ----------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Dry cargo containers $ 3,366,954 $ 3,448,028 $10,250,662 $10,513,642 Refrigerated containers 470,500 403,910 1,425,719 1,438,181 Tank containers 182,382 181,912 555,425 557,756 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Total $ 4,019,836 $ 4,033,850 $12,231,806 $12,509,579 =========== =========== =========== ===========
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 required by SFAS No. 131. ****** 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 September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. At September 30, 2000, the Registrant had $4,751,601 in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $1,537,450 from the cash balances at December 31, 1999. At September 30, 2000, the Registrant had approximately $187,000 in cash generated from equipment sales reserved as part of its cash balances. The Registrant committed to purchase an additional 155 forty-foot high-cube dry cargo marine containers, replacing containers which have been lost or damaged beyond repair at an aggregate cost of approximately $431,288. Throughout the remainder of 2000, 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 allowance for doubtful accounts increased from $865,157 at December 31, 1999 to $1,033,011 at September 30, 2000. This increase was attributable to the delinquent account receivable balances of approximately 19 lessees. The Leasing Company has either negotiated specific payment terms with these lessees or is pursuing other alternatives to collect the outstanding balances. In each instance, the Registrant believes it has recorded appropriate allowance. The Registrant's cash distribution from operations for the third quarter of 2000 was 6.50% (annualized) of the limited partners' original capital contributions, unchanged from the second quarter of 2000. These distributions are directly related to the Registrant's results from operations and may fluctuate accordingly. Distributions for the general and limited partners are calculated based upon the Partnership Agreement. During the third quarter of 2000, growth in the volume of containerized trade continued to improve. As a result, demand for leased equipment strengthened in many locations, but most significantly throughout Asia. With the growth in the volume of world trade, ocean carriers are committing their capital to the purchase of additional containerships and turning to leasing companies to supply them with the containers they need to meet their growing freight requirements. The container leasing market has rebounded and prospects have somewhat improved, but lease rates have remained at generally the same low level as at the beginning of this year. At the same time, inventories of idle equipment have been reduced in Europe, but there has been no appreciable reduction in the U.S. The strong U.S. economy continued to import more than it exported. This imbalance has had the effect of further increasing idle container inventories, particularly on the U.S. East Coast. 2) Material changes in the results of operations between the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. Gross rental revenue (a component of net lease revenue) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 was $4,019,836 and $12,231,806, respectively, reflecting a decline of less than 1% and 2% from the same respective periods in the prior year. Gross lease revenue was primarily impacted by higher utilization levels and lower per-diem rental rates. Dry cargo container average per-diem rental rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 declined 2% and 7%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. Refrigerated container average per-diem rental rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 increased 6% and declined 4%, respectively, when compared to the same three and nine-month periods in the prior year. Tank container average per-diem rental rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 declined 9% and 10%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in the prior year. (Continued) 10 11 The Registrant's average fleet size and utilization rates for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended ---------------------------- ---------------------------- September 30, September 30, September 30, September 30, 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Average fleet size (measured in twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU)) Dry cargo containers 46,961 46,900 46,820 46,799 Refrigerated containers 660 656 660 658 Tank containers 226 225 226 226 Average Utilization Dry cargo containers 76% 74% 76% 71% Refrigerated containers 96% 85% 97% 91% Tank containers 78% 72% 78% 73%
Rental equipment operating expenses, as a percent of the Registrant's gross lease revenue, were 30% and 26%, respectively, during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000, as compared to 29% and 28%, during the same respective three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999. Base management fees for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 declined 2% from the same nine-month period in the prior year as a result of lower gross rental revenues. The Registrant disposed of 72 twenty-foot, 12 forty-foot and two forty-foot high-cube dry cargo marine containers during the third quarter of 2000, as compared to 44 twenty-foot, two forty-foot and seven forty-foot high-cube dry cargo marine containers during the third quarter of 1999. 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. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Not applicable. 11 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings On March 20, 2000, KM Investments, LLC, a California limited liability company ("KM") filed its complaint (the "Complaint") in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles against CCC, as general partner of the Partnership, alleging violation of the California Revised Limited Partnership Act, breach of fiduciary duty, and unfair competition. KM claims to be an assignee of units of limited partnership interests in the Partnership and six other California limited partnerships (collectively, the "Cronos Partnerships") managed by CCC as general partner. KM, which is in the business of making unregistered tender offers for up to 4.9% of the outstanding interests in limited partnerships, claims that CCC has wrongfully refused to provide KM with lists of the limited partners of the Cronos Partnerships to enable KM to make unregistered tender offers to the limited partners of the Cronos Partnerships. KM asks for declaratory relief, damages according to proof, attorneys' fees, costs, interest, a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary injunction barring CCC from giving limited partner lists to any other party before delivering such lists to KM, punitive damages, and an order prohibiting CCC from receiving reimbursement of its legal fees incurred in defending the action from the Cronos Partnerships. On April 24, 2000, CCC filed its demurrer to the Complaint and its motion to strike those portions of the Complaint seeking punitive damages. By its demurrer, CCC asserted that KM, as an assignee of units of the Cronos Partnerships, is not entitled to review or receive a copy of the lists of the limited partners of the Cronos Partnerships; that CCC has not breached any fiduciary duty to KM; and that CCC has not engaged in unfair competition as alleged by KM. CCC requested that the Court dismiss KM's Complaint. On June 8, 2000, the Court heard CCC's demurrer, and sustained (i.e., granted) it in its entirety, allowing KM thirty days to file an amended complaint. KM did so on or about July 10, 2000, asserting the same causes of action as set forth in its original complaint. On August 25, 2000, CCC filed its demurrer to KM's First Amended Complaint and its motion to strike those portions of the First Amended Complaint seeking punitive damages. On October 11, 2000, the Court heard CCC's motions. It sustained CCC's demurrer to KM's fourth cause of action seeking declaratory relief, but overruled (i.e., denied) CCC's demurrer to KM's first three causes of action, on the ground that the evidence submitted by CCC was not properly before the Court on CCC's demurrer to KM's First Amended Complaint. At the same time, the Court granted CCC's motion to strike those portions of KM's First Amended Complaint seeking punitive damages. On October 20, 2000, CCC filed its answer to KM's First Amended Complaint, denying the allegations thereof, denying that plaintiff is entitled to any damages, and asserting various affirmative defenses. CCC believes that KM does not have standing to inspect or receive lists of the limited partners of the limited partnerships managed by CCC, and that CCC has meritorious defenses to KM's First Amended Complaint. 12 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION (CONTINUED) Item 6.
