   for the corresponding six month period in 2015 to a loss of R1 305 million. The trading loss
   for the six months ended 30 June 2016 includes additional depreciation required under
   International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the impairment of the Hanjin
   Shipping Company Limited ("Hanjin") receivables (see below).

   translation losses/gains) was 324,1 cents (2015: earnings 278,2 cents -  restated*).

-  Adjusted headline loss per share (which excludes the effect of net unrealised foreign
   exchange translation losses/gains) was 314,6 cents (2015: earnings 263,6 cents -  restated*).

TEXTAINER (48,2% beneficiary interest) -  US GAAP results

-  Net loss for the half year was US$4,9 million (2015: profit US$75,6 million). Textainer recorded
   US$36,8 million of container impairments (2015: US$7,9 million) resulting from a transfer to
   held for sale and a write-down of its inventory of containers pending disposal to their
   estimated fair value.

-  There was no impairment to the leased container fleet for the six months ended 30 June 2016
   (2015: Nil).

-  Average fleet utilisation for the six months to 30 June 2016 was 94,6% (2015: 97,6%).

-  Continued expansion with US$432 million of capital expenditure year-to-date in 2016 in
   respect of the owned and managed fleet.

-  Total fleet under management at 30 June 2016 was 3 195 378 (2015: 3 276 509) twenty foot
   equivalent units of which Textainer itself owned 81,0% (2015: 79,7%).

-  Declared dividends of US$0,24 per share in respect of quarter 1 and US$0,03 per share in
   respect of quarter 2 of 2016.

REPORTING RESULTS OF TEXTAINER AND TAC UNDER IFRS

The results of Textainer and TAC, reporting under US GAAP, are converted to IFRS for
inclusion in the results of Trencor, which is required to report under IFRS. In years prior
to 2015, limited adjustments were necessary in so converting from US GAAP to IFRS.
However, in the year to 31 December 2015 and continuing into the six months ended
30  June 2016, a decline in market conditions meant that differences in accounting
treatment between US GAAP and IFRS, in the areas of impairment testing and a revision
of the residual values of the container fleets, caused significant differences in financial
results reported under the respective accounting conventions.

Adjusted to conform with IFRS, Trencor's consolidation of the results of Textainer
requires that net losses of US$289,2 million be recorded for the half year (2015: profit of
US$76,1 million). This included a non-cash impairment loss on the leased container fleet
as required under IFRS of US$223 million (2015: Nil). No impairment was necessary under
US GAAP at 30 June 2016 or 30 June 2015. Trencor recorded an additional depreciation
charge required under IFRS for the six months to 30 June 2016 over and above the
amount provided under US GAAP of US$42,5 million.

Adjusted to conform with IFRS, Trencor's consolidation of the results of TAC requires that
net losses of US$21,7 million be recorded for the half year (2015: profit of US$5,1 million).
This included a non-cash impairment loss on the leased container fleet as required under
IFRS of US$19,2 million (2015: Nil). An impairment of US$0,4 million (2015: Nil) was
recorded under US GAAP at 30 June 2016. Trencor recorded an additional depreciation
charge required under IFRS for the six months to 30 June 2016 over and above the
amount provided under US GAAP of US$1,1 million.

Details of the different requirements under US GAAP and IFRS and their materially different
impact on the reported results of Textainer and TAC and those of Trencor are as follows:

-  Impairment testing -  under US GAAP the container fleets are required to be impaired to fair
   value where the undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value
   of the container fleet. As this was not the case, no impairment was necessary at 30 June
   2016 under US GAAP. IFRS on the other hand requires that, where there is an indicator of
   impairment, expected future cash flows should be discounted to present value. Applying
   this methodology results in a non-cash impairment of US$242 million (R3 615 million) in
   respect of the Textainer and TAC fleets in Trencor's financial statements for the six months
   ended 30 June 2016, which has been recorded in profit or loss but excluded from headline
   earnings, as required in respect of all such impairment losses. The impact on earnings after
   tax and non-controlling interests, is a net charge of R1 823 million or 1 030 cents per share.

-  Residual values and useful lives of containers -  IFRS requires the reassessment of the
   residual values and useful lives of containers at each reporting period, which are then used
   to determine the amount by which containers are depreciated. In accordance with IFRS,
   residual values are determined using current market conditions and are therefore likely to
   fluctuate over time as market prices fluctuate (ie will reflect market volatility). IFRS defines the
   residual value of a container as the estimated amount that would currently be obtained from
   the disposal of a container, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the container
   was already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. This
   requirement necessitated a reassessment of the residual values of the container fleets at
   30 June 2016. This is in contrast to US GAAP which takes a long-term view of the value to
   be realised on disposal of each container at the end of its useful life (ie market fluctuations
   in price are not taken into account in the reassessment of residual values unless they persist
   for extended periods of time). At 30 June 2016, the reassessment of the useful lives of the
   container fleets resulted in the useful lives of certain container types being extended with
   effect from 1 July 2016.

   The resale values of containers can vary significantly depending on, among other
   factors, location, time of sale, the condition of the container and customer demand.
   Recent average sales prices for containers were considered by major asset type and
   the residual values were adjusted accordingly at period-end. The consequence of the
   reassessment of residual values and useful lives is an estimated increase of R493 million
   in the depreciation charge to be recorded prospectively in the six months to 31 December
   2016 financial period over and above what it would have been had the residual values and
   useful lives not been revised (the impact on earnings and headline earnings, after tax and
   non-controlling interests, is estimated to be a net charge of R251 million or 141,8 cents
   per share). This depreciation charge is calculated after adjusting the carrying value of
   the container fleet for impairment at 30 June 2016. This estimate presumes no material
   changes to the composition of the container fleets and no significant changes for the next
   six months to market factors prevailing at 30 June 2016. Changes in these factors will
   influence the depreciation that may be charged in future periods.

EVENT AFTER REPORTING PERIOD

On 31 August 2016, Hanjin filed in South Korea for protection from its creditors, and a receiver
was appointed on 1 September 2016. On 2 September 2016, Hanjin also filed for protection in
the United States of America under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code. At this time it is not
clear if Hanjin will be able to restructure and resume operations under court order protection or
will be forced to liquidate in bankruptcy.

Textainer is in the early stages of assessing the full financial impact that this event will have. At
present many containers are still on vessels and not accessible to Textainer. It is anticipated that
the recovery process will be protracted and difficult. As it is not possible at this point to predict
potential recoveries the impact on Textainer remains uncertain.

The ultimate level of loss Textainer may suffer depends on many factors among which are:

-  the number of units which will be recovered;

-  the average cost, including ransom, repair, repossession, and other charges, to recover
   units;

-  which units will be written off and their book values; and

-  the amount of insurance that will be collected and how these proceeds will be applied to
   offset the losses.

In accordance with IAS 10 Events after the Reporting Period ("IAS 10"), an impairment has been
made to the operating and finance lease receivables recorded at 30 June 2016 due to Textainer
related to Hanjin (included in the amount disclosed in note 3). The amounts receivable under
finance leases have been impaired to the current best estimate of the fair value of the containers
which serve as collateral.

As a result of the factors and uncertainties mentioned above, Textainer is currently unable to
determine whether any loss will ultimately be incurred on the recovery of the containers on
operating and finance lease to Hanjin. Other publicly traded container lessors are in a similar
position as Textainer in this regard. In accordance with IAS 10, the Hanjin filings in September
2016 is considered a non-adjusting event as it relates to the underlying container fleet on
operating and finance lease to Hanjin, and an estimate of its financial effect cannot be made at
the date of this report for the reasons mentioned above.

The US GAAP net book value of the units on lease to Hanjin by Textainer is US$280 million of
which US$237 million is effectively owned by Textainer. Based on the total fleet of units leased to
Hanjin, 53% of these containers measured by unit count and 31% measured by net book value
(based on US GAAP) are on finance lease. It should be noted that the net book value of these
containers, as reported by Textainer under US GAAP, differs from the lower IFRS values reported
by Trencor as a result of significant IFRS impairment losses recorded at 31 December 2015 and
being recorded in this reporting period (see above).

     An impairment loss has been recognised at 30 June 2016, reducing the carrying value of
     container leasing equipment to its recoverable amount. For the purposes of calculating the
     impairment loss, the container fleets were grouped by ownership entity and then by cash-
     generating units ("CGUs"). CGUs were defined as containers grouped by container type, as
     cash flows for the same type of containers are independent of cash flows of different container
     types, and are interchangeable with any other container of the same type within the container
     fleet. The recoverable amount of a CGU has been calculated based on its value in use. The
     pre-tax discount rates used to discount the future estimated cash flows were 4,99% and
     6,77% for Textainer and TAC, respectively. Projected future cash flows were estimated using
     the assumptions that are part of the long-term planning forecasts of the entities concerned.
     These projected future cash flow assumptions have weakened during the period as a result of a
     further decline in market conditions. Some of the significant estimates and assumptions used to
     determine future estimated cash flows were: estimated future lease rates, estimated utilisation,
     remaining useful lives, remaining on-hire periods for expired fixed-term leases, estimated
     future lease rates, direct container expenses and estimated disposal prices of containers. In
     performing the impairment analysis, assumptions used reflected the contractually stipulated per
     diem rates, with renewal based on current market rates.

     * The amounts receivable under finance leases relating to Hanjin (refer note 10), which represent 29.2% of
       the total carrying amount, have been impaired to the current best estimate of the fair value of the containers
       which serve as collateral. The determination of this fair value is influenced primarily by the container type,
       age, location and condition, among other factors, some of which are difficult to determine with regard to the
       containers on lease to Hanjin for the reasons mentioned in the commentary. It is impracticable to disclose the
       extent of the possible effects of changes to these fair value assumptions at 30 June 2016, and it is reasonably
       possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcomes in the future that are different from the fair value
       assumptions made at 30 June 2016 could require an adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets affected.

     Fair value hierarchy
     
     The table below analyses the recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial
     liabilities. These fair value measurements are categorised into different levels in the fair value
     hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as
     follows:
     
     Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
              group can access at measurement date.
     
     Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
              liability, either directly or indirectly. Textainer uses FINCAD Analytics Suite, a third-party
              valuation software, to perform the fair valuation of its interest rate swap transactions.
              The fair valuation of interest rate swaps is derived from the discounting of future
              net cash flows utilising the US dollar swap curve (US$ LIBOR) and incorporates an
              appropriate credit risk adjustment.
     
     Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

     Details of the determination of Level 3 fair value measurements during the six months ended
     30 June 2016 are set out below:
     
     Long-term receivables and amounts attributable to third parties in respect of long-term
     receivables are valued by discounting future cash flows. The discount rate applied to the
     long-term receivables (denominated in US$) is 8,5% per annum (2015: 8,5%), and amounts
     attributable to third parties in respect of long-term receivables is 10% per annum (2015: 10%).
     An appropriate fair value adjustment is made to the net investment for the estimated timing of
     receipt and the possible non-collectability of these receivables, and the related effect on the
     payment to third parties. The net present value of the long-term receivables and the related fair
     value adjustment were translated into SA rand at US$1=R14,88 (30 June 2015 US$1=R12,25
     and 31 December 2015 US$1=R15,53).
     
     The following table shows a reconciliation from the opening balances to the closing balances for
     fair value measurements in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

     Although the estimates of fair value are considered to be appropriate, the use of different
     assumptions could lead to different measurements of fair value. For fair value measurement in
     Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, changing one or more of the unobservable inputs used, to
     reasonably possible alternative assumptions, would have the following effects:

     Residual values of the container fleets have been reassessed at 30 June 2016. The useful lives
     of certain container types have also been extended. In accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant
     and Equipment residual values are the estimated amounts that the entities would currently obtain
     at the financial reporting date from the disposal of containers, after deducting the estimated
     costs of disposal, if the containers were already of the age and in the condition expected at
     the end of their useful lives. The reassessment of residual values and useful lives are accounted
     for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate from the date of change in estimate, in
     accordance with IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The
     consequence of the reassessment of residual values and the useful lives is an estimated increase
     of R493 million in the depreciation charge for the remainder of the year over what it would
     have been had the residual values and useful lives not been revised. This estimate presumes
     no material changes to the composition of the container fleets and no significant changes for
     the next six months to market factors prevailing at 30 June 2016. Changes in these factors will
     influence the depreciation that may be charged in future periods.

10.  Event after reporting period
     On 31 August 2016, Hanjin filed in South Korea for protection from its creditors, and a receiver
     was appointed on 1 September 2016. On 2 September 2016, Hanjin also filed for protection in
     the United States of America under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code. At this time it is not
     clear if Hanjin will be able to restructure and resume operations under court order protection or
     will be forced to liquidate in bankruptcy. For more information on this event after the reporting
     period refer to the commentary above.

11.  Restatement

In order to provide a better appreciation of the results of the group's activities, a condensed
consolidated income statement and a condensed consolidated statement of financial position
are also presented in US dollars, as virtually all of the group's consolidated revenue and assets
and much of its expenditure are denominated in that currency. The unaudited amounts stated
in US dollars have been prepared by management and have been calculated by translating
the assets and liabilities at the period-end rate of exchange, income statement items at the
average rate of exchange with the difference allocated to the foreign currency translation reserve
included in equity.
