NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
1. Opinion of Management
In the opinion of the management of PLM Financial Services, Inc., the General
Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the
Partnership's financial position as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the
statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, and the statements of changes in partners' capital for the period
from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1997. Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
from the accompanying financial statements. For further information, reference
should be made to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996,
on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.
3. Equipment
Equipment held for operating leases is stated at cost. The components of
equipment are as follows:
March 31, December 31,
1997 1996
-------------------------------------
Marine containers $ 1,109,619 $ 1,128,798
Trailers 2,037,605 2,357,296
-------------------------------------
3,147,224 3,486,094
Less accumulated depreciation (2,861,437 ) (3,140,358 )
-------------------------------------
Net equipment $ 285,787 $ 345,736
=====================================
With the exception of one sidelift, all equipment was either on lease or
operating in PLM-affiliated short-term rental facilities as of March 31, 1997
and December 31, 1996. The net carrying value of this sidelift was $21,793 and
$28,433, respectively, as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership sold or disposed
of a marine container and trailers with an aggregate book value of $18,145 for
proceeds of $76,319. During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the
Partnership sold or disposed of a marine container with an aggregate book value
of $633 for proceeds of $673. Additional proceeds of $2,629 were received for
the commuter aircraft which was under sales-type lease.
4. Liquidation and special distributions
During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership completed its 10th year of
operations. As originally anticipated by the General Partner, the Partnership
will be liquidated in an orderly manner in its 11th and 12th years of operation.
The General Partner is actively marketing the remaining equipment portfolio with
the intent of maximizing sale proceeds. As sale proceeds are received the
General Partner intends to periodically declare special distributions to
distribute the sale proceeds to the partners. During the liquidation phase of
the Partnership the equipment will continue to be leased under operating leases
until sold. Operating cash flows, to the extent they exceed Partnership
expenses, will continue to be
PLM TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT PARTNERS IXA 1986 INCOME FUND
(A Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
4. Liquidation and special distributions (continued)
distributed on a quarterly basis to partners. The amounts reflected for assets
and liabilities of the Partnership have not been adjusted to reflect liquidation
values. The equipment portfolio continues to be carried at the lower of
depreciated cost or fair value less cost to dispose. Although the General
Partner estimates that there will be distributions after liquidation of assets
and liabilities, the amounts cannot be accurately determined prior to actual
liquidation of the equipment. Any excess proceeds over expected Partnership
obligations will be distributed to the Partners throughout the liquidation
period. Upon final liquidation, the Partnership will be dissolved.
No special distributions were paid in the first quarter of 1997. During the
three months ended March 31, 1996, the General Partner paid special
distributions of $40.77 per Limited Partnership Unit which were the result of
proceeds from the sale of equipment. The Partnership is not permitted to
reinvest proceeds from sales or liquidations of equipment. These proceeds, in
excess of operational cash requirements, are periodically paid out to limited
partners in the form of special distributions. The sales and liquidations occur
because of equipment destructions, the determination by the General Partner that
it is the appropriate time to maximize the return on an asset through sale of
that asset, and, in some leases, the ability of the lessee to exercise purchase
options.

1997 and 1996, and the statements of changes in partners' capital for the period
from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1997. Certain information and footnote

Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996,
on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. Reclassification

conform to the 1997 presentation.
3. Equipment
Equipment held for operating leases is stated at cost.
The components of owned equipment are as follows:
March 31, December 31,
1997 1996
------------------------------------
Marine containers $ 114,623 $ 114,623
Trailers and tractor 2,650,919 2,973,770

Less accumulated depreciation (2,513,614 ) (2,767,149 )
------------------------------------
Net equipment $ 251,928 $ 321,244
====================================
All of the equipment was either on lease or operating in PLM-affiliated
short-term rental facilities as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership sold or disposed
of trailers with a net book value of $29,687 for proceeds of $79,550. During the
three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership sold or disposed of a marine
container with a net book value of $3,520 for proceeds of $5,208.
4. Liquidation and special distributions
During the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership completed its 10th year of
operations. As originally anticipated by the General Partner, the Partnership
will be liquidated in an orderly manner in its 11th and 12th years of operation.
The General Partner is actively marketing the remaining equipment portfolio with
the intent of maximizing sale proceeds. As sale proceeds are received the
General Partner intends to periodically declare special distributions to
distribute the sale proceeds to the partners. During the

(A Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
4. Liquidation and special distributions (continued)
liquidation phase of the Partnership the equipment will continue to be leased
under operating leases until sold. Operating cash flows, to the extent they
exceed Partnership expenses, will continue to be distributed on a quarterly
basis to partners. The amounts reflected for assets and liabilities of the
Partnership have not been adjusted to reflect liquidation values. The equipment
portfolio continues to be carried at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value
less cost to dispose. Although the General Partner estimates that there will be
distributions after liquidation of assets and liabilities, the amounts cannot be
accurately determined prior to actual liquidation of the equipment. Any excess
proceeds over expected Partnership obligations will be distributed to the
Partners throughout the liquidation period. Upon final liquidation, the
Partnership will be dissolved.
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the General Partner paid special
distributions of $5.85 per Limited Partnership Unit which were the result of
proceeds from equipment liquidations. No special distributions were paid in the
first quarter of 1996. The Partnership is not permitted to reinvest proceeds
from sales or liquidations of equipment. These proceeds, in excess of
operational cash requirements, are periodically paid out to limited partners in
the form of special distributions. The sales and liquidations occur because of
equipment destructions, the determination by the General Partner that it is the
appropriate time to maximize the return on an asset through sale of that asset,
and, in some leases, the ability of the lessee to exercise purchase options.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
(I) Results of operations
Comparison of the Partnership's Operating Results for the Three Months Ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996
TEP IXA
(A) Revenues
Total revenues of $135,078 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, increased from
$124,771 for the same period in 1996, due primarily to higher gain on
disposition on equipment in the first quarter of 1996, compared to the same
period in 1997, offset by lower lease revenues and lower interest and other
income.
(1) Lease revenue decreased to $74,417 in the first quarter 1997, from $111,137
in the same period of 1996. The following table lists lease revenues earned by
equipment type:
For the three months ended
March 31,
1997 1996
-------------------------------
Trailers $ 56,096 $ 55,317
Rail equipment -- 25,950
Marine containers 18,321 29,870
------------------------------
$ 74,417 $ 111,137
==============================
The decline was due primarily to the following:
(a) Railcar revenue decreased $25,950 due to the sale of all railcars
during 1996;
(b) Container revenue decreased $11,549 due to the sale or disposition of
equipment and lower utilization in the first quarter of 1997 compared to the
same period of 1996.
(2) For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of
$58,174 on the sale or disposition of marine container and trailers. In the same
period in 1996, the Partnership realized a gain of $2,669 which included a gain
of $40 on the disposition of a marine container and an additional gain of $2,629
from a commuter aircraft which was under a sales-type lease.
(B) Expenses
Total expenses of $94,890 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, decreased from
$125,842 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in expenses in the first
quarter of 1997, was attributable to decreases in general and administrative
expenses, depreciation expense, and repairs and maintenance.
(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance and insurance)
decreased to $7,307 in the first quarter of 1997, from $14,936 in the first
quarter of 1996, due primarily to the sale of equipment during 1996 and the
first quarter of 1997.
(2) Indirect operating expenses (defined as depreciation expense, management
fees, bad debt expense, and general and administrative expenses) decreased to
$87,583 in the first quarter 1997, from $110,906 in the same period in 1996.
This change resulted primarily from:
(a) a decrease in depreciation expense of $11,430 reflecting asset sales or
dispositions during the first quarter of 1997 and during 1996;
(b) a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $12,022 reflects
the decreased accounting and administrative costs related to the short-term
rental facilities due to the sale of equipment.
(C) Net Income (loss)
As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership generated a net income of $40,188
in the first quarter 1997, versus a net loss of $1,071 in the same period in
1996. The Partnership's ability to operate or liquidate assets, secure leases,
and re-lease those assets whose leases expire during the duration of the
Partnership is subject to many factors, and the Partnership's performance in the
first quarter 1997, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. In the
first quarter 1997, the Partnership distributed $65,057 to the Limited Partners,
or approximately $2.68 per weighted average unit.
TEP IXB
(A) Owned equipment operations
Revenues less direct expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance and asset
specific insurance expense) on owned equipment decreased for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997, when compared to the same period of 1996. The following table
presents revenues less direct expenses by owned equipment type:
For the three months
ended March 31,
1997 1996
------------------------------
Trailers $ 10,184 $ 38,958
Railcar equipment 2,431 21,579
Marine containers 4,420 6,835
Trailers: Trailer revenues and direct expenses were $13,206 and $3,022,
respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $48,721 and
$9,763, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The decrease in
contribution was due to lower utilization of trailers in the short-term rental
facilities and the disposition of trailers;
Railcar equipment: Railcar revenues and direct expenses were $2,550 and $119,
respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $21,870 and
$291, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The decrease in contribution
was due to the sale of all railcars owned by the Partnership in the fourth
quarter of 1996;
Marine containers: Marine container revenues and direct expenses were $4,486 and
$66, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $6,901 and
$66, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The number of marine
containers owned by the Partnership has been declining due to sales and
dispositions. The result of this declining fleet is a decrease in marine
container contribution.
(B) Indirect expenses related to owned equipment
Total indirect expenses of $57,617 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
decreased from $78,278 for the same period of 1996. The variance is explained as
follows:
(a) a $12,328 decrease in depreciation expense reflecting assets sales or
dispositions during the first quarter of 1997 and during 1996;
(b) a $8,438 decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects the
decreased accounting costs and administrative costs related to short-term rental
facilities due to sale of equipment.
(C) Gain on disposition of equipment
For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of $31,354
on the disposal of trailers compared to the same period of 1996, where the
Partnership realized a gain of $11,851 on the sale or disposition of trailers
and marine containers.
(D) Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special purpose entity
Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special purpose entity was $20,867 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, and represented the net loss generated from the
Partnership's interest in an entity which owned an aircraft, accounted for under
the equity method. The investment was sold in the third quarter of 1996.
(E) Net Loss
The Partnership generated net loss of $5,119 for the quarter ended March 31,
1997, compared to a net loss of $15,826 for the same period in 1996. The
Partnership's ability to operate or liquidate assets, secure leases, and
re-lease those assets whose leases expire during the duration of the Partnership
is subject to many factors, and the Partnership's performance for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership distributed $344,582 to the
Limited Partners, or approximately $19.74 per weighted average unit which
included a special distribution of $17.01 per weighted average unit.
TEP IXC
(A) Owned equipment operations
Revenues less direct expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance and asset
specific insurance expenses) on owned equipment decreased for the quarter ended
March 31, 1997 when compared to the same period of 1996. The following table
presents revenues less direct expenses by owned equipment type:
For the three months
ended March 31,
1997 1996
---------------------------------
Trailers $ 51,728 $ 71,991
Railcar equipment (2,590 ) (1,400 )
Marine containers 804 1,643
Trailers: Trailer revenues and direct expenses were $75,172 and $23,444,
respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $97,171 and
$25,180, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The decrease of
contribution was due to lower utilization of trailers in the short-term rental
facilities and the disposition of trailers;
Railcar equipment: Railcar revenues and direct expenses were a credit of $2,550
and $40, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $7,800
and $9,200, respectively during the same period of 1996. The decrease in
contribution was due to the sale of all railcars owned by the Partnership in the
fourth quarter of 1996. The credit in revenue in the first quarter of 1997 was
due to a credit given back to a former lessee;
Marine containers: Marine container revenues and direct expenses were $828 and
$24, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to $1,667 and
$24, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The number of marine
containers owned by the Partnership has been declining due to sales and
dispositions. The result of this declining fleet is a decrease in marine
container contribution.
(B) Indirect expenses related to owned equipment
Total indirect expenses of $89,611 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
decreased from $102,456 for the same period of 1996. The variance is explained
as follows:
(a) a $14,357 decrease in depreciation expense reflecting asset sales
during the first quarter of 1997 and during 1996;
(b) a $5,162 decrease in general and administrative expenses due to lower
accounting costs and administrative costs due to sale of equipment;
(c) a $8,583 increase in bad debt expense due to the General Partner's
evaluation of the collectibility of trade receivables.
(C) Gain on disposition of equipment
For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of $49,863
on the sale of trailers, compared to the same period in 1996, when the
Partnership realized a gain of $1,688 on the disposal of a marine container.
(D) Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special purpose entity
Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special purpose entity was $12,550 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, and represents the net loss generated from the
Partnership's interest in an entity which owned an aircraft, accounted for under
the equity method. The investment was sold in the second quarter of 1996.
(E) Net Income
The Partnership's net income increased to $12,823 for the quarter ended March
31, 1997, from a net loss of $38,169 in the same period in 1996. The
Partnership's ability to operate or liquidate assets, secure leases, and
re-lease those assets whose leases expire during the duration of the Partnership
is subject to many factors, and the Partnership's performance for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership distributed $155,447 to the
Limited Partners, or approximately $9.19 per weighted average unit which
included a special distribution of $5.85 per weighted average unit.

(A) Revenues
Total revenues of $45,100 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, decreased from
$56,811 for the same period in 1996, due primarily to lower lease revenues and
lower interest and other income in the first quarter of 1997, as compared to the
same period in 1996, offset by a gain on sale of equipment for the first quarter
of 1997, compared to a loss on disposition of equipment in the same period in
1996.
(1) Lease revenues decreased to $19,219 in the first quarter 1997, from $55,242
in the same period in 1996. The following table lists lease revenue earned by
equipment type:
For the three months ended
March 31,
1997 1996
-------------------------------
Trailers $ 11,583 $ 35,873
Marine containers 7,636 19,369
------------------------------
$ 19,219 $ 55,242
==============================
The decline was due primarily to the following:
(a) Trailer revenue decreased $24,290 due primarily to the sale of trailers
during 1996 and in the first quarter of 1997, and lower utilization in
short-term rental facilities operated by an affiliate of the General Partner;
(b) Marine container revenue decreased $11,733 primarily due to the
disposal of marine containers during 1996 and in the first quarter of 1997.
(2) For the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of
$25,044 on the disposal of marine containers and trailers, as compared to a loss
of $997 on the disposal of marine containers for the quarter ended March 31,
1996.
(B) Expenses
Total expenses of $42,140 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, decreased from
$62,085 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in 1997 expenses was
attributable primarily to decreases in general and administrative expenses,
repair and maintenance and depreciation expenses, offset by an increase in bad
debt expenses.
(1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance and insurance)
decreased to $3,151 in the first quarter 1997, from $11,577 in the same period
in 1996. This change resulted primarily from the disposition of equipment.
(2) Indirect operating expenses (defined as depreciation expense, management
fees, bad debt expense, and general and administrative expenses) decreased to
$38,989 in the first quarter 1997, from $50,508 in the same period in 1996. This
change resulted primarily from:
(a) a decrease in general and administrative expense of $10,840 due to
lower accounting costs and administrative costs related to short-term rental
facilities due to sale of equipment;
(b) a decrease in depreciation expense of $4,074, reflecting asset sales or
dispositions during the first quarter of 1997 and during 1996;
(c) an increase of $3,395 in bad debt expense due to the General Partner's
evaluation of the collectibility of trade receivables.
(C) Net Income (loss)
The Partnership incurred a net income of $2,960 in the first quarter 1997,
compared to a net loss of $5,274 in the same period in 1996. The Partnership's
ability to operate or liquidate assets, secure leases, and re-lease those assets
whose leases expire during the duration of the Partnership is subject to many
factors, and the Partnership's performance in the first quarter 1997, is not
necessarily indicative of future periods. In the first quarter 1997, the
Partnership distributed $18,364 to the Limited Partners, or approximately $1.93
per weighted average unit.
(II) Asset Sales
Equipment sales and dispositions result from General Partner decisions on
liquidations, the exercise by lessees of fair market value purchase options
provided for in certain leases, or the payment of stipulated loss values on
equipment lost or disposed of during the time it is subject to lease agreements.
During the three months ended March 31, 1997, a marine container and trailers
owned by TEP IXA were sold for a total of $76,319. Trailers owned by TEP IXB
were sold for a total of $51,000; trailers owned by TEP IXC were sold for
$79,550; and marine containers and trailers owned by TEP IXD were sold or
disposed of for $43,219. As discussed in note 4, the General Partner is actively
marketing the remaining equipment portfolio with the intent of maximizing sale
proceeds.
(III) Market Values
As of March 31, 1997, the General Partner estimated the current fair market
value of each Partnership's equipment portfolio to be approximately : $0.9
million, $0.4 million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million for TEP IXA, TEP IXB, TEP
IXC and TEP IXD, respectively.
(IV) Outlook for the Future
The General Partner intends to continue its strategy of closely matching the
level of cash distributions to that of net operating cash flows. However, as
stated above, the difficulty in predicting market conditions precludes the
General Partner from accurately determining the impact of this strategy on
liquidity. The Partnerships have entered into their liquidation phase and
pursuant to the original operating plan, the Partnerships continue to market
equipment for sale as current lease terms expire.
