TEXTAINER (60,09% beneficiary interest)

-  Net profit for the half year in US GAAP was US$95,7 million (2011: US$88,9 million).
   Adjusted to conform with International Financial Reporting Standards, Textainer's net profit
   was US$97,3  million (2011: US$92,1 million). Amounts in 2011 included a non-cash gain of
   US$14,8 million arising on the sale of containers to the prior non-controlling interest as a 
   result of restructuring the company's primary asset-owning subsidiary Textainer Marine Containers Ltd ("TMCL").
-  Fleet utilisation at 30 June 2012 was 98,1% (2011: 99,0%).
-  Textainer invested more than US$760 million in new and used containers as well as purchases
   from its managed fleet since the beginning of the year. Approximately 25% of the new container
   purchases were in refrigerated containers as the company continues to expand market share in
   the refrigerated container market.
-  Total fleet under management at 30 June 2012 was 2 615 000 (2011: 2 442 000) twenty foot
   equivalent units of which Textainer itself owned 60,4% (2011: 57,3%). 80% of the fleet is
   committed to long-term operating, financing and sales-type leases, compared to 78% a year
   ago.
-  In April 2012, one of Textainer's subsidiaries issued US$400 million 10-year, container-backed
   notes at a fixed interest rate, payable monthly, of 4,21% p.a. Textainer also restructured its
   securitisation facility, increasing its size from US$850 million to US$1,2 billion. The interest rate
   on the new facility is 2,625% over one-month LIBOR during the initial two-year revolving period.
-  Textainer declared dividends of US$0,40 and US$0,42 per share in respect of quarters 1 and 2
   of 2012 respectively.
