                           MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION



          The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations.  The Company believes, however, that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading.

          The Board of Directors carries out its responsibility for the
financial statements included herein through its Audit Committee, composed of
non-employee Directors.  During the year, the Committee meets periodically with
both management and the independent public accountants to ensure that each is
carrying out its responsibilities.  The independent public accountants have
full and free access to the Audit Committee and meet with its members, with and
without management being present, to discuss auditing and financial reporting
matters.

          These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

          This financial information reflects, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments consisting of only normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the results for the interim periods.  The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

                      XTRA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)       The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of XTRA
          Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("the Company").  All
          material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
          Certain amounts in prior period financial statements have been
          reclassified to be consistent with the current periods' presentation.

(2)       The effective income tax rates used in the interim financial
          statements are estimates of the fiscal years' rates.  The effective
          income tax rate for fiscal year 1994 was approximately 42%.  For the
          nine months ended June 30, 1995, the Company has recorded a provision
          for income taxes using an estimated effective income tax rate of
          approximately 42%.  The Company's effective income tax rate for
          fiscal 1994 and its estimated effective income tax rate for fiscal
          1995 are higher than the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate due
          primarily to state income taxes.

(3)       The Company's long-term debt includes a current portion of $59
          million at June 30, 1995 and $40 million at September 30, 1994.

(4)       On June 30, 1995, the Company completed the previously announced
          acquisition of certain of the net assets of Matson Leasing Company,
          Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson Navigation Company, Inc.,
          which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin,
          Inc.  Matson Leasing Company's net assets consist primarily of 
          approximately 170,000 twenty-foot equivalent units.  The total 
          consideration paid, all cash, was approximately $360 million, which 
          included approximately $10 million for recently purchased containers. 
          The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. While the Company 
          has not yet finalized the purchase price allocation, substantially 
          all has been allocated to property and equipment.

          In connection with the acquisition, the Company's two revolving
          credit agreements were replaced with a $590 million term loan and
          revolving credit agreement with an expanded bank group.  The Company
          used approximately $160 million of the new revolver commitments to
          replace the borrowings committed under the previous revolving credit
          agreement and approximately $360 million to finance the acquisition.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Third Quarter of 1995
Versus the Third Quarter of 1994

         On June 30, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net
assets of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements).  The discussion does not reflect the acquisition and 
accordingly, the results described below may not be indicative of future 
results.

Revenues and Changes in Business Conditions

         Revenues are generated by leasing over-the-road and mobile storage
trailers, intermodal trailers, chassis and domestic containers.  Revenues are a
function of lease rates and working units; the latter depends on fleet size and
equipment utilization.

         Revenues decreased by 4% or $3.7 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995, over the same period a year ago.  Revenues derived from
intermodal trailers and domestic containers were lower due to decreased demand,
in excess of normal expected seasonal reductions.  This reduction in working
units experienced since the second quarter, is attributable to the softening
economy, an increased supply of equipment, and shifting traffic trends in the 
industry.  Less-than-truckload carriers are moving more freight than ever
before in the intermodal market, but they are using more of their own equipment 
and leasing less equipment.  In addition, the peso devaluation which began in
December, has caused a severe reduction in the southbound traffic into Mexico. 
In response to the decreased demand for intermodal equipment, the Company has
accelerated the disposition of older intermodal equipment resulting in
increased gains on sales.

         The overall decrease in intermodal revenue was partially offset by
revenues derived by over-the-road trailers, which increased primarily due to an
increase in working units as a result of a larger fleet size and an increase in
average lease rates.

         The following table sets forth average equipment utilization and
average fleet size in units (including units leased in under operating leases)
during the three months ended June 30:


                                                          1995           1994
                                                          ----           ----
                                                                 
           Utilization                                       83%            94%
           Units                                        129,200        122,900


         Historically, the Company's third quarter has represented a low point
in utilization rates and, therefore profitability.  However, in fiscal 1994,
the Company experienced record demand for its transportation equipment as a
result of favorable industry conditions and a growing economy.  During the
early portion of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, equipment utilization has
remained at levels similar to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  Therefore,
equipment utilization for the entire fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 is not
expected to approach the very high levels of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.


Operating Expenses

         Operating expenses in total were relatively unchanged from the third
quarter of fiscal 1994.  
         Depreciation expense increased by 13% or $3.2 million primarily due 
to an increase in fleet size.  
         Rental equipment operating expense decreased by 10% or $2.2 million 
due principally to lower repair, maintenance and tire costs associated with 
the reduction in the number of working units.

Interest Expense

         Interest expense increased by 8% or  $.7 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1995, due to an increase in average net debt outstanding
partially offset by a decrease in the average effective interest rate.

Provision for Income Taxes

         The effective income tax rates used in the interim financial
statements are estimates of the fiscal years' rates.  The effective income tax
rate for fiscal year 1994 was approximately 42%.  For the three months ended
June 30, 1995, the Company has recorded a provision for income taxes using an
estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 42%. The Company's




                                      13
   14


effective income tax rate for fiscal 1994 and its estimated effective income
tax rate for fiscal 1995 are higher than the statutory U.S. Federal income tax
rate due primarily to state income taxes.

                       XTRA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Nine Months Ended June 30, 1995
Versus the Nine Months Ended June 30, 1994

         On June 30, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of certain net
assets of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. (see Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements).  The discussion does not reflect the acquisition and 
accordingly, the results described below may not be indicative of future 
results.

Revenues and Changes in Business Conditions
         Revenues are generated by leasing over-the-road and mobile storage
trailers, intermodal trailers, chassis and domestic containers.  Revenues are a
function of lease rates and working units; the latter depends on fleet size and
equipment utilization.

         Revenues increased by 3% or $8.4 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1995 over the same period a year ago.  Revenues derived by
over-the-road trailers increased primarily due to an increase in working units
as a result of a larger fleet size and an increase in average lease rates.

         Revenues derived from intermodal trailers and domestic containers were
lower due to a decrease in demand, in excess of normal expected seasonal
reductions.  This reduction in working units, experienced since the second
quarter of fiscal 1995, is attributable to the softening economy, an increased
supply of equipment, and shifting traffic trends in the industry.  Less-than-
truckload carriers are moving more freight than ever before in the intermodal 
market, but they are using more of their own equipment and leasing less
equipment.  In addition, the peso devaluation which began in December, has      
caused a severe reduction in the southbound traffic into Mexico. In response to
the decreased demand for intermodal equipment, the Company has accelerated the
disposition of older intermodal equipment resulting in increased gains on
sales.

         The following table sets forth average equipment utilization and
average fleet size in units (including units leased in under operating leases)
during the nine months ended June 30:


                                                             1995         1994
                                                             ----         ----
                                                                  
           Utilization                                           87%         92%
           Units                                            128,500     122,100


         Historically, the Company's second and third quarters have represented
low points in utilization rates and, therefore profitability.   However, for
the nine months ended June 30, 1994,  the Company experienced demand for its
transportation equipment in excess of historic equipment levels as a result of
favorable industry conditions and a growing economy.  During the early portion
of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, equipment utilization has remained at
levels similar to the quarter ended June 30, 1995.  Therefore, equipment
utilization rates for the entire fourth quarter of fiscal 1995 are not expected
to approach the very high levels of the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994.

Operating Expenses
         Total operating expenses increased by 3% or $4.7 million from the same
period of fiscal 1994.  
         Depreciation expense increased by 12% or $8.5 million primarily due 
to an increase in fleet size.  
         Rental equipment lease financing expense decreased by 78% or $5.0 
million primarily due to the purchase of previously leased in equipment.
         Selling and administrative expense increased 8% or $1.8 million
principally due to increased costs related to management information systems.

Interest Expense

         Interest expense increased by 2% or $.4 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995, due to an increase in average net debt outstanding
partially offset by a decrease in the average effective interest rate.

 Provision for Income Taxes

         The effective income tax rates used in the interim financial
statements are estimates of the fiscal years' rates.  The effective income tax
rate for fiscal year 1994 was approximately 42%.  For the nine months ended
June 30, 1995, the Company has recorded a provision for income taxes using an
estimated effective income tax rate of approximately 42%.  The Company's
effective income tax rate for fiscal 1994 and its estimated effective income
tax rate for fiscal 1995 are higher than the statutory U.S. Federal income tax
rate due primarily to state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the nine months ended June 30, 1995, the Company generated cash
flows from operations of $157 million.  During the same period, XTRA invested
$597 million in property and equipment (including the acquisition of certain
net assets of Matson Leasing Company, Inc. of $362 million).  The Company also
paid dividends of $8 million and repurchased common stock of $9 million.  Net
debt outstanding (debt less cash) increased $459 million.

         As of August 1, 1995, committed capital expenditures for fiscal 1995,
excluding the $362 million acquisition, amount to approximately $343 million,
including $235 million expended in the first three quarters.

         On August 1, 1995, XTRA's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash
dividend of $.16 per share, payable on August 31, 1995, to stockholders of
record on August 15, 1995.

         On January 26, 1995, XTRA's Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase, from time to time, of up to $100 million of XTRA's common stock.
The shares may be purchased in the open market, through block or privately
negotiated transactions.  The timing of the repurchases, which could occur over
an extended period of time, will depend on price, market conditions and other
factors.  The repurchase program could be financed from cash flows from
operations and other corporate borrowings.  In the third quarter of fiscal
1995,  the Company repurchased  $9 million of common stock.

         As of August 10, 1995, the Company issued, in fiscal 1995, $243
million in Medium-Term Notes with a weighted average life of 7.7 years and an
average interest rate of 7.1%. As of

August 10, 1995, $204 million remains available for issuance under the 
Company's existing shelf registration.

         In connection with the acquisition, the Company's two revolving credit
agreements were replaced with a new $590 term loan and revolving credit
agreement with an expanded bank group.  The Company used approximately $160
million of the new revolver commitments to replace the borrowings committed
under the previous revolving credit agreement and approximately $360 million to
finance the acquisition. After giving effect to the acquisition, the Company, as
of June 30, 1995, has approximately $70 million of unused Commitment available
under the Credit Agreement.

         At August 10, 1995, the Company had $153 million of unused credit
available under its Revolving Credit Agreement.
