PLM TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT PARTNERS IXA 1986 INCOME FUND (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 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 primarily of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the financial position of PLM Transportation Equipment Partners IXA 1986 Income Fund (the Partnership) as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the statements of changes in partners' capital for the period from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1997, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. 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. Equipment The components of equipment are as follows: June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ----------------------------------- Trailers $ 1,555,454 $ 2,357,296 Marine containers 1,104,711 1,128,798 ----------------------------------- 2,660,165 3,486,094 Less accumulated depreciation (2,468,129 ) (3,140,358 ) ----------------------------------- Net equipment $ 192,036 $ 345,736 =================================== With the exception of one trailer, all equipment was either on lease or operating in PLM-affiliated short-term rental facilities as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. The net carrying value of this trailer was $15,154 and $28,433, respectively, as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership sold or disposed of marine containers and trailers with an aggregate book value of $74,559 for proceeds of $163,691. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold or disposed of marine containers and a trailer with an aggregate book value of $20,016 for proceeds of $64,997. 3. 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 June 30, 1997 3. Liquidation and Special Distributions (continued) distributed on a quarterly basis to the 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 six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the General Partner paid special distributions of $5.00 and $44.84, respectively, per limited partnership unit which were the result of proceeds from the sale of equipment. During the liquidation phase, 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 the 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 the sale of that asset, and, in some leases, the ability of the lessee to exercise purchase options.

PLM TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT PARTNERS IXC 1986 INCOME FUND (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 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 primarily of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the financial position of PLM Transportation Equipment Partners IXC 1986 Income Fund (the Partnership) as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the statements of changes in partners' capital for the period from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1997, and the statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. 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. Equipment The components of owned equipment are as follows: June 30, December 31, 1997 1996 ----------------------------------- Trailers $ 2,282,791 $ 2,973,770 Marine containers 114,623 114,623 ----------------------------------- 2,397,414 3,088,393 Less accumulated depreciation (2,211,233 ) (2,767,149 ) ----------------------------------- Net equipment $ 186,181 $ 321,244 =================================== All of the equipment was either on lease or operating in PLM-affiliated short-term rental facilities as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. During the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership sold or disposed of trailers with a net book value of $59,865 for proceeds of $143,850. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership sold or disposed of trailers and a marine container with a net book value of $35,107 for proceeds of $53,308. 3. 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 PLM TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT PARTNERS IXC 1986 INCOME FUND (A Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 1997 3. 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 six months ended June 30, 1997, the General Partner paid special distributions of $12.10 per limited partnership unit which were the result of proceeds from equipment liquidations. No special distributions were paid for the six months ended June 30, 1996. During the liquidation phase, 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 the 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 the sale of that asset, and, in some leases, the ability of the lessee to exercise purchase options. 4.

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 six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the General Partner paid special distributions of $5.00 and $10.39, respectively, per limited partnership unit which were the result of proceeds from equipment liquidations. During the liquidation phase, 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 the 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 the 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 June 30, 1997 and 1996 TEP IXA (A) Revenues Total revenues of $90,338 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, decreased from $153,264 for the same period in 1996, due primarily to lower lease revenues and lower gain on the disposition on equipment. (1) Lease revenue decreased to $56,530 in the second quarter 1997, from $109,072 in the same period of 1996. The following table lists lease revenues earned by equipment type: For the Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 1996 ------------------------------- Trailers $ 43,400 $ 70,278 Marine containers 13,130 23,344 Rail equipment -- 15,450 ------------------------------ $ 56,530 $ 109,072 ============================== The decline was due primarily to the following: (a) Trailer revenue decreased $26,878 due primarily to the sale of trailers during 1997 and 1996, and lower utilization in short-term rental facilities operated by an affiliate of the General Partner. (b) Container revenue decreased $10,214 due to the sale of equipment and low utilization. (c) No railcar revenue was earned in the second quarter of 1997 due to the sale of all the Partnership's railcars during 1996. (2) For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of $30,958 on the sale or disposition of trailers and a marine container, compared to the same period in 1996, where the Partnership realized a gain of $42,312 on the disposition of marine containers and a trailer. (B) Expenses Total expenses of $92,554 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, decreased from $125,103 for the same period in 1996. The decrease in expenses in the second quarter of 1997 was attributable to decreases in depreciation expense, general and administrative expenses, and repairs and maintenance. (1) Direct operating expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance) decreased to $9,741 in the second quarter of 1997, from $13,905 in the second quarter of 1996, due primarily to the sale of equipment during 1997 and 1996. (2) Indirect operating expenses (defined as depreciation expense, management fees, and general and administrative expenses) decreased to $82,813 in the second quarter 1997, from $111,198 in the same period in 1996. This change resulted primarily from: (a) a decrease in depreciation expense of $14,811 reflecting asset sales or dispositions during 1997 and 1996. (b) a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $13,574 reflects the decreased 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 had a net loss of $2,216 in the second quarter 1997, as compared to a net income of $28,161 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 second quarter 1997, is not necessarily indicative of future periods. In the second quarter of 1997, the Partnership distributed a special distribution of $121,427 to the limited partners, or approximately $5.00 per weighted-average limited partnership 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 June 30, 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 June 30, 1997 1996 -------------------------------- Marine containers $ 3,340 $ 5,857 Trailers 2,172 29,549 Railcar equipment (89 ) 20,577 Marine containers: Marine container revenues and direct expenses were $3,399 and $59, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to $5,905 and $48, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The number of marine containers owned by the Partnership declined over the past twelve months due to sales and dispositions. In addition, the marine container fleet experienced lower utilization, resulting in a decrease in marine container contribution. Trailers: Trailer revenues and direct expenses were $5,284 and $3,112, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to $42,334 and $12,785, 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 zero and $89, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, compared to $21,870 and $1,293, respectively, during the same period of 1996. The decrease in contribution was due to the sale of all the railcars owned by the Partnership in the fourth quarter of 1996. (B) Indirect Expenses Related to Owned Equipment Operations Total indirect expenses of $44,683 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, decreased from $74,123 for the same period of 1996. The variance is explained as follows: (1) a $15,754 decrease in depreciation expense reflecting assets sales or dispositions during 1997 and 1996. (2) a $11,233 decrease in general and administrative expenses reflects the decreased administrative costs related to short-term rental facilities due to sale of equipment. (C) Net Gain on Disposition of Equipment For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, the Partnership realized a gain of $53,998 on the disposal of trailers compared to the same period of 1996, where the Partnership realized a gain of $17,915 on the disposition of trailers. (D) Equity in Net Loss of Unconsolidated Special-Purpose Entity Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special-purpose entity was $18,239 for the quarter ended June 30, 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.
