(All currency expressed in United States dollars in thousands)

 

(1) Nature of Business

Textainer Group Holdings Limited (“TGH”) is incorporated in Bermuda. TGH is the holding company of a group of corporations, Textainer Group Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the “Company”), involved in the purchase, management, leasing and resale of a fleet of marine cargo containers. The Company manages and provides administrative support to the affiliated and unaffiliated owners (the “Owners”) of the containers, and structures and manages container leasing investment programs.

On September 4, 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved a one-for-one share split, effected by way of a share dividend or bonus issue, for shareholders of record as of August 8, 2007. The share split was effected by way of a bonus issue on October 8, 2007. All shares and per share data in the condensed consolidated financial statements, have been adjusted to reflect the share split, effected by way of the bonus issue.

The Company conducts its business activities in four main areas: container ownership, container management, container resale and military management.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Basis of Accounting

The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal and recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2008, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that may be reported for the remainder of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

 

  (b) Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include TGH and all its subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

  (c) Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, consisting primarily of exclusive rights to manage container fleets, are amortized over the expected life of the contracts based on forecasted income to the Company. The contract terms range from 11 to 13 years. Intangible assets are evaluated for impairment by applying the recognition and measurement provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”). Under SFAS 144, an impairment loss shall be recognized if the carrying amount of the intangible assets is not recoverable and the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.

On July 23, 2007, the Company purchased the exclusive rights to manage the approximately 500,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit container fleet of Capital Lease Limited, Hong Kong (“Capital”) for $56,000. The Company began managing the Capital fleet on September 1, 2007. The purchase price will be fully amortized over the expected 13-year life of the contract on a pro-rata basis based on the expected management fees. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 related to the Capital fleet was $1,116 and $2,233, respectively.

The change in the carrying amount of intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 was primarily attributable to amortization expense of $1,674 and $3,644, respectively.

 

  (d) Lease Rental Income

Lease rental income arises principally from the renting of containers owned by the Company to various international shipping lines. Revenue is recorded when earned according to the terms of the container rental contracts. These contracts are typically for terms of five years or less and are generally classified as operating leases.

Under long-term lease agreements, containers are usually leased from the Company for periods of three to five years. Such leases are generally cancelable with a penalty at the end of each 12-month period. Under master lease agreements, the lessee is not committed to leasing a minimum number of containers from the Company during the lease term and may generally return the containers to the Company at any time, subject to certain restrictions in the lease agreement. Under long-term lease and master lease agreements, revenue is earned and recognized evenly over the period that the equipment is on lease. Under direct financing and sales-type leases, the containers are usually leased from the Company for the remainder of the container’s useful life with a bargain purchase option at the end of the lease term. Revenue is earned and recognized on direct financing and, after the initial gain or loss, on sales-type leases over the lease terms so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease.

Container leases do not include step-rent provisions or lease concessions, nor do they depend on indices or rates.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its lessees to make required payments. These allowances are based on management’s current assessment of the financial condition of the Company’s lessees and their ability to make their required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s lessees were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

 

  (e) Containers and Fixed Assets

Capitalized container costs include the container cost payable to the manufacturer and the associated transportation costs incurred in moving the containers from the manufacturer to the containers’ first destined port. Containers purchased new are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 12 years to an estimated dollar residual value. Containers purchased used are depreciated based upon their remaining useful lives at the date of acquisition to an estimated dollar residual value. The Company evaluates the estimated residual values and remaining estimated useful lives on an ongoing basis. Depreciation expense may fluctuate in future periods based on changes in these estimates.

Containers identified for sale are written down to their estimated fair value and the resulting impairment is recorded in depreciation on expense. The fair value is estimated based on recent gross sales proceeds. When containers are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to seven years.

The Company reviews its containers and fixed assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company compares the carrying value of the containers to expected future undiscounted cash flows for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of the recorded amounts. If the carrying value exceeds expected future undiscounted cash flows, the assets are reduced to fair value. In addition, containers identified as being available for sale are valued at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

  (f) Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded when the realization of a deferred tax asset is unlikely.

As of January 1, 2007, the company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes— an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). Under FIN 48, the company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in the recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. Prior to the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized the effect of income tax positions only if such positions were probable of being sustained.

The 2004 United States tax return for TGH’s subsidiary Textainer Equipment Management (U.S.) Limited and the 2004 and 2005 United States tax returns for TGH’s subsidiary Textainer Limited (“TL”) have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). In May 2008, the Company received notification from the IRS that they have completed their examination and made no changes to the amount of tax reported. As a result, the Company reduced the amount of unrecognized tax benefits by $4,000 and recognized a tax provision reduction of $4,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to -0.8% and 1.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of the recognition of the $4,000 tax provision reduction.

  (g) Damage Protection Plan Repair Cost Reserve

The Company’s leases require the lessee to pay for any damage to the container beyond normal wear and tear at the end of the lease term. The Company offers a Damage Protection Plan (“DPP”) to certain lessees of its containers. Under the terms of the DPP, the Company charges lessees an additional amount primarily on a daily basis and the lessees are no longer obligated for certain future repair costs for containers subject to the DPP. It is the Company’s policy to recognize these revenues as earned on a daily basis over the related term of its lease. The Company has not recognized revenue and related expense for customers who are billed at the end of the lease term under the DPP or for other lessees who do not participate in the DPP. Based on past history, there is uncertainty as to collectibility of these amounts from lessees who are billed at the end of the lease term because the amounts due under the DPP are typically re-negotiated at the end of the lease term or the lease term is extended.

For all containers, the Company uses the direct expense method of accounting for repairs and records maintenance expense when an obligation is incurred.

 

  (h) Concentrations

Although substantially all of the Company’s income from operations is derived from assets employed in non-U.S. concentrations, virtually all of this income is denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company does pay some of its expenses in various non-U.S. currencies. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $2,818 (or 40%) and $3,565 (or 38%), respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, $5,337 (or 40%) and $7,051 (or 38%), respectively, of the Company’s direct container expenses were paid in 15 different non-U.S. currencies. The Company does not hedge these container expenses as there are no significant payments made in any one non-U.S. currency and the Company’s contract with the U.S. military contains a provision to protect it from fluctuations in exchange rates for payments made in non-U.S. currencies.

The Company’s customers are international shipping lines, which transport goods on international trade routes. Once the containers are on hire with a lessee, the Company does not track their location. The domicile of the lessee is not indicative of where the lessee is transporting the containers. The Company’s business risk in its non-U.S. concentrations lies with the creditworthiness of the lessees rather than the geographic location of the containers or the domicile of the lessees. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, revenue from one lessee amounted to $4,901 (or 10%) and $4,919 (or 10%), respectively, of the Company’s lease rental income. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, revenue from one lessee amounted to $10,019 (or 10%) and $10,278 (or 11%), respectively, of the Company’s lease rental income. No single lessee accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

 

  (i) Derivative Instruments

The Company has entered into various interest rate cap and swap agreements to mitigate its exposure associated with its variable rate debt. The swap agreements involve payments by the Company to counterparties at fixed rates in return for receipts based upon variable rates indexed to the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The differentials between the fixed and variable rate payments under these agreements are recognized in realized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps and caps, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of the balance sheet dates, none of the derivative instruments the Company has entered into qualify for hedge accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (“SFAS 133”). The fair value of the derivative instruments is measured at each balance sheet date and the change in fair value is recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income as unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net.

  (j) Share Options and Restricted Share Units

In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”), the Company estimates the fair value of all employee share options to acquire common shares awarded under its 2007 Share Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) on the grant date using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton (“Black-Scholes”) option-pricing model as a method for determining the estimated fair value for employee share option awards. Compensation expense for employee share awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, share-based compensation expense of $787 and $1,379, respectively, was recorded as a part of long-term incentive compensation for share options and restricted share units awarded to employees under the 2007 Plan.

 

  (k) Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to the container rental equipment, accounts receivable and accruals.

These estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

  (l) Net income per share

Basic net income per share for a given period is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if all outstanding share options were exercised or converted into common shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, 1,035,835 share options to acquire common shares and 788,742 restricted share units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method, in accordance with the FASB’s SFAS No. 128 Earnings Per Share. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, 1,041,226 share options to acquire common shares and 874,045 restricted share units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, no share options to acquire common shares were dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, all share options to acquire common shares were dilutive. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic EPS with that of diluted EPS is presented as follows:

  (m) Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those levels:

 

   

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

   

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

SFAS 157 retains the exchange price notion in earlier definitions of fair value and clarifies that the exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability, that is, the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability is a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, considered from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. Therefore, the definition focuses on the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability (an exit price), not the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price). With the exception of a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for other nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for years beginning after November, 15, 2007, and for interim periods within those years with earlier application encouraged.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157 for the fair value measurement of recurring items, in particular its containers held for resale and interest rate swaps. The partial adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company does not believe the adoption of the deferred portion of SFAS 157 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company measures the fair value of its containers held for resale under a Level 2 input as defined by SFAS 157. The company relies on market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. The Company’s containers held for resale had a fair value asset of $3,030 and $3,798 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded impairments of $113 and $263, respectively, as a part of depreciation expense to write down the value of containers identified for sale to their estimated fair value.

The Company measures the fair value of its $364,920 notional amount of interest rate swaps under a Level 3 input as defined by SFAS 157. The Company relies on a valuation based on a discounted cash flow analysis using forecasted interest rate yield curves. The Company’s interest rate swap agreements had a fair value liability of $3,376 and $4,282 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The change in fair value for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 of $7,175 and $906, respectively, was recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of income as part of unrealized gains on interest rate swaps, net.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 establishes a fair value option under which entities can elect to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. However, SFAS No. 159 specifically includes financial assets and financial liabilities recognized under leases (as defined in SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases), as among those items not eligible for the fair value measurement option except contingent obligations for cancelled leases and guarantees of third-party lease obligations. Effective January 1, 2008 the Company adopted SFAS 159. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any assets or liabilities, therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

  (n) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires a company to clearly identify and present ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the company within the equity section of the company’s balance sheets but separate from the company’s equity. It also requires the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in ownership interest to be accounted for as equity transactions; and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary and the gain or loss on the deconsolidation of the subsidiary must be measured at fair value. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 160 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R replaced SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS 141”). SFAS 141R retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. SFAS 141R also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010. While the Company has not yet evaluated SFAS 141R for the impact, if any, that its adoption will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, the Company will be required to expense costs related to any acquisitions after December 31, 2009.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”). This new standard requires enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments, including those used in hedging activities. SFAS 161 will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2009. The Company is assessing the potential revisions to disclosures required by SFAS 161.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 162”). The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP for non-governmental entities. For non-governmental entities, the guidance in SFAS 162 replaces that prescribed in Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 69, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and becomes effective 60 days following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 162 will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On April 22, 2008, TL terminated its then-existing revolving credit facility that provided for an aggregate commitment amount of up to $75,000 (which also included within such amount a $25,000 letter of credit facility) (the “Prior Credit Facility”). On the same date, TL replaced the Prior Credit Facility with a new credit agreement, (the “New Credit Agreement”), with the same banks that were party to the Prior Credit Facility, as well as additional banks, to provide a new revolving credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) in an aggregate commitment amount of up to $205,000 (which also includes within such amount a $50,000 letter of credit facility). The New Credit Facility provides for payments of interest only during its term beginning on its inception date through April 22, 2013. Interest on the outstanding amount due under the New Credit Facility at June 30, 2008 was based either on the U.S. prime rate or LIBOR plus a spread between 0.5% and 1.5% which varies based on TGH’s leverage. Total outstanding principal under the New Credit Facility and the Prior Credit Facility was $27,500 and $21,500 as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively. The Company had no outstanding letters of credit under the New Credit Facility or the Prior Credit Facility as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

The New Credit Facility is secured by the Company’s containers and under the terms of the New Credit Facility, the total outstanding principal may not exceed the lesser of the commitment amount and a formula based on the Company’s net book value of containers and outstanding debt. The New Credit Facility Maximum was $205,000 as of June 30, 2008.

TGH acts as a guarantor of the New Credit Facility. The New Credit Facility contains restrictive covenants, including limitations on certain liens, indebtedness and investments. In addition, the New Credit Facility contains certain restrictive financial covenants on TGH’s tangible net worth, leverage, debt service coverage and on TL’s leverage and interest coverage. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants at June 30, 2008. There is a commitment fee of 0.20% to 0.30% on the unused portion of the New Credit Facility, which varies based on the leverage of TGH and is payable in arrears. In addition, there is an agent’s fee, which is payable annually in advance.

Bonds Payable and Secured Debt Facility

In 2005, the Company’s subsidiary, Textainer Marine Containers Limited (“TMCL”), issued $580,000 in variable rate amortizing bonds (the “2005-1 Bonds”) to institutional investors. The $580,000 in 2005-1 Bonds represent fully amortizing notes payable on a straight-line basis over a scheduled payment term of 10 years, but not to exceed the maximum payment term of 15 years. Under a 10-year amortization schedule, $58,000 in 2005-1 Bond principal will amortize per year. Under the terms of the 2005-1 Bonds, both principal and interest incurred are payable monthly. TMCL is permitted to make voluntary prepayments of all, or a portion of, the principal balance of the 2005-1 Bonds commencing with the payment date occurring in June 2008. Ultimate payment of the 2005-1 Bond principal has been insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation and the cost, 0.275% on the outstanding principal balance of the 2005-1 Bonds, of this insurance coverage is recognized as incurred on a monthly basis. The interest rate for the outstanding principal balance of the 2005-1 Bonds equals one-month LIBOR plus 0.25%. The target final payment date and legal final payment date are May 15, 2015 and May 15, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s primary ongoing container financing requirements are funded by revolving notes issued by TMCL (the “Secured Debt Facility”). The Secured Debt Facility provides for payments of interest only during the period from its inception until its Conversion Date (as defined in the Indenture governing the 2005-1 Bonds and the Secured Debt Facility), with a provision for the Secured Debt Facility to then convert to a 10-year, but not to exceed the maximum term of 15-year, fully amortizing note payable on the Conversion Date. On July 2, 2008, the Company extended its Secured Debt Facility and amended certain terms thereof, including an increase in the commitment from $300,000 to $475,000. Prior to the July 2, 2008 amendments, the Conversion Date was defined as July 9, 2008. Given such a Conversion Date of July 9, 2008, the first principal payment would have been due on July 15, 2008. Prior to the July 2, 2008 amendments, interest on the outstanding amount due under the Secured Debt Facility, prior to the Conversion Date, equaled LIBOR plus 0.32%. Prior to and following the July 2, 2008 amendments, there was and remains a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Secured Debt Facility, which is payable in arrears. Prior to the July 2, 2008 amendments, the ultimate payment of the Secured Debt Facility principal was insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation. The cost of this insurance coverage was recognized as incurred on a monthly basis.

Following the July 2, 2008 amendments, the interest rate, payable monthly in arrears, is 1.25% over LIBOR during an initial two-year revolving period. If the Secured Debt Facility is not refinanced or renewed prior to the new Conversion Date of July 1, 2010, the interest rate would increase and the Secured Debt Facility would stop revolving and begin amortizing over a term that is scheduled to be 10 years but not to exceed 15 years. Following the July 2, 2008 amendments, the Secured Debt Facility is no longer insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation.

Under the terms of the 2005-1 Bonds and Secured Debt Facility, the total outstanding principal of these two programs may not exceed an amount (the “Asset Base”) which is calculated by a formula based on TMCL’s book value of equipment, restricted cash and direct financing and sales-type leases. The total obligations under the 2005-1 Bonds and the Secured Debt Facility are secured by a pledge of TMCL’s assets. TMCL’s total assets amounted to $968,181 as of June 30, 2008. The 2005-1 Bonds and the Secured Debt Facility also contain restrictive covenants regarding the average age of TMCL’s container fleet, certain earnings ratios, ability to incur other obligations and to distribute earnings, TGH’s container management subsidiary net income and debt levels, and overall Asset Base minimums, in which TMCL and TGH’s container management subsidiary were in full compliance at June 30, 2008.

(1) Future scheduled payments for the 2005-1 Bonds and the Secured Debt Facility exclude step acquisition adjustments of $1,076 and $663, respectively, related to the purchase by TL of 3,000 additional shares of TMCL on November 1, 2007. The adjustments were recorded to reduce the balance of both the 2005-1 Bonds and the Secured Debt Facility to an amount that equaled the fair market value of the debt on the date of the acquisition.

The future repayments schedule for the New Credit Facility and the Secured Debt Facility assumes that the facilities would not be extended on the applicable Conversion Date and would then convert into a two-year fully amortizing note payable and ten-year fully amortizing note payable, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The Company has entered into several interest rate cap and swap agreements with several banks to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates associated with its 2005-1 Bonds and Secured Debt Facility. The following is a summary of the Company’s derivative instruments as of June 30, 2008:

Geographic Segment Information

The Company’s container lessees use containers for their global trade utilizing many worldwide trade routes. The Company earns its revenue from international carriers when the containers are in use and carrying cargo around the world. Substantially all of the Company’s leasing related revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars. As all of the Company’s containers are used internationally, where no one container is domiciled in one particular place for a prolonged period of time, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are considered to be international with no single country of use.

(6) Commitments and Contingencies

 

  (a) Container Commitments

At June 30, 2008, the Company had placed orders with manufacturers for containers to be delivered subsequent to June 30, 2008 in the total amount of $49,961.

 

  (b) Legal Proceedings

In 2005 the Company reserved $2,500 to resolve a dispute with a container manufacturer. The Company paid $1,300 pursuant to a court order. On November 28, 2006, the Company and its parent company, Trencor Limited, entered into a letter agreement related to a settlement with this container manufacturer and the sale of a South African container manufacturing plant. This container manufacturer owed money to Trencor and had claims against the Company. Pursuant to this letter agreement, the container manufacturer agreed to return the plant to Trencor in lieu of its liabilities and the Company agreed to cover Trencor’s losses upon the sale of the plant, up to a limit of $750, in settlement of the container manufacturer’s claims against them. A $450 reduction in the reserve was released to income in the fourth quarter of 2006. On August 23, 2007, Trencor entered into a sale agreement with a third party to sell the plant for an amount that would not result in any loss being recorded. This sale was subject to certain conditions and the receipt of funds from the buyer of the plant, both of which were met in 2008. As a result, the Company reduced its reserve in entirety in the three months ending June 30, 2008.

 

  (c) Legal Proceedings on the Sale of the Partnerships’ Assets

On April 18, 2005, six California limited partnerships formed to invest in transportation equipment sold substantially all of their assets to RFH, Ltd. (“RFH”). As part of this sale transaction, RFH engaged Textainer Equipment Management Ltd., one of the general partners, to manage the containers RFH bought.

Five lawsuits were filed between March 2005 and June 2007 in state and federal court, initiated by certain limited partners. The state cases have been consolidated into one action. The limited partners in the state action allege that the general partners breached their fiduciary duties by selling the assets for less than their fair value, retaining management rights over the assets following the sale, and making materially false or misleading statements in proxy statements issued in connection with the sale of assets. In the federal case, plaintiffs allege a breach of fiduciary duty claim similar to that in the state action and also allege that the general partners violated federal securities laws. The lawsuits seek to recover damages for the limited partners based on the allegedly inadequate purchase price paid for the assets. On January 10, 2007, the federal case was dismissed, with prejudice, and has since been timely appealed. In the state case, the general partners made a motion for summary judgment, or, in the alternative, summary adjudication. That motion was denied. A trial date has not yet been set. While it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of these lawsuits, the Company believes that these lawsuits are without merit. The Company and its subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuits.

 

(7) Share Option and Restricted Share Unit Plan

As of June 30, 2008, the Company maintained one active share option and restricted share unit plan, the 2007 Plan. This plan provides for the grant of share options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights to employees. Under the 2007 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on September 4, 2007, a maximum of 3,808,371 share awards may be granted under the plan. At June 30, 2008, 1,738,043 shares were available for future issuance under the 2007 Plan.

Share options are granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. Each employee’s options vest in increments of 25% per year beginning approximately one year after an option’s grant date. Unless terminated pursuant to certain provisions within the share option plans, including discontinuance of employment with the Company, all unexercised options expire on October 2017.

Beginning approximately one year after a restricted share unit’s grant date, each employee’s restricted share units vest in increments of 15% per year for the first two years, 20% for the third year and 25% for the fourth and fifth year.

The following is a summary of activity in the Company’s share option plans for the six months ended June 30, 2008:

 

     Share options     Weighted average
     Unvested     Vested    Total     Exercise

Options granted during the period

   3,456     —      3,456     $ 14.01    2017

Options forfeited during the period

   (12,140 )   —      (12,140 )   $ 16.50    2017
                      

Balances, June 30, 2008

   1,036,050     —      1,036,050     $ 16.49    2017
                      

No share options or restricted share units were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The estimated weighted average grant date fair value of share options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $3.03 per share and the weighted average grant date fair value of restricted share units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $11.68 per share. As of June 30, 2008, $13,557 of total compensation cost related to non-vested share option and restricted share unit awards not yet recognized is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.0 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding, which represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value, based on the Company’s closing common share price of $19.53 per share as of June 30, 2008 was $3,148. The aggregate intrinsic value is the amount that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

The fair value of each share option granted under the 2007 Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     2007 Plan  

Risk-free interest rates

   4.5 %

Expected terms (in years)

   6.4  

Expected common share price volatilies

   31.3 %

Expected dividends

   4.9 %

The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the share option life. The expected common share price volatility for the 2007 Plan is based on the historical volatility of publicly traded companies within the Company’s industry. The dividend yield reflects the yield on the date of grant.

 

(8) Comprehensive Income

(9) Dividend

On August 1, 2008, the Company’s board of directors approved and declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share on the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares, payable on August 22, 2008 to shareholders of record as of August 15, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2008 (our “2007 Form 20-F”). In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. See “Information Regarding Forward-Looking Statements; Cautionary Language.” Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K and in Item 4, “Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 6-K for the three months ended March 31, 2008 furnished to the SEC on May 14, 2008 (our “First Quarter 2008 6-K”). Dollar amounts in this section of this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K are expressed in thousands, unless otherwise indicated.

As used in the following discussion and analysis, unless indicated otherwise or in the context otherwise requires, references to: (1) “Textainer,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Textainer Group Holdings Limited, the issuer of the publicly-traded common shares, and its subsidiaries; (2) “TEU” refers to a “Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit,” which is a unit of measurement used in the container shipping industry to compare shipping containers of various lengths to a standard 20’ dry freight container, thus a 20’ container is one TEU and a 40’ container is two TEU; (3) “CEU” refers to a Cost Equivalent Unit, which is a unit of measurement based on the approximate cost of a container relative to the cost of a standard 20’ dry freight container, so the cost of a standard 20’ dry freight container is one CEU; the cost of a 40’ dry freight container is 1.6 CEU; and the cost of a 40’ high cube dry freight container (9’6” high) is 1.68 CEU; (4) “our owned fleet” means the containers we own; (5) “our managed fleet” means the containers we manage that are owned by other container investors; (6) “our fleet” and “our total fleet” mean our owned fleet plus our managed fleet plus any containers we lease from other lessors; and (7) “container investors” means the owners of the containers in our managed fleet.

Overview

Operating since 1979, we are the world’s largest lessor of intermodal containers based on fleet size (Containerisation International Market Analysis: Container Leasing Market 2007 ), with a total fleet of more than 1.3 million containers, representing over 2,000,000 TEU, in our owned and managed fleet. We lease containers to more than 400 shipping lines and other lessees, including each of the world’s top 20 container lines, as measured by container vessel fleet size. We believe we are one of the most reliable lessors of containers, in terms of consistently being able to supply containers in locations where our customers need them. We have provided an average of more than 100,000 TEU of new containers per year for the past 10 years, and have been one of the largest purchasers of new containers among container lessors over the same period. We believe we are also one of the two largest sellers of used containers among container lessors, having sold an average of more than 53,000 containers per year for the last five years. We provide our services worldwide via a network of 14 regional and area offices and over 350 independent depots in more than 130 locations. Trencor, a company publicly traded on the JSE in Johannesburg, South Africa, and its affiliates currently have beneficiary interest in a majority of our issued and outstanding common shares.

We operate our business in four core segments:

 

   

Container Ownership. As of June 30, 2008, we owned containers accounting for approximately 41% of our fleet.

 

   

Container Management. As of June 30, 2008, we managed containers on behalf of 11 affiliated and unaffiliated container owners, providing acquisition, management and disposal services. These managed containers account for the remaining 56% of our fleet.

 

   

Container Resale. We generally sell containers from our fleet when they reach the end of their useful lives in marine service or when we believe it is financially attractive for us to do so, considering the location, sale price, cost of repair and possible repositioning expenses. We also purchase and lease or resell containers from shipping line customers, container traders and other sellers of containers.

Military Management. We lease containers to the U.S. military pursuant to the Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (“SDDC”) contract and earn a fee for supplying and managing its fleet of leased containers. We are the main supplier of leased intermodal containers to the U.S. military.

We measure utilization on the basis of containers on lease, using the actual number of days on hire, expressed as a percentage of containers available for lease, using the actual days available for lease.

On July 23, 2007, we purchased the exclusive rights to manage the container fleet of Capital Lease Limited, Hong Kong (“Capital”) for $56,000. Capital was the world’s eighth largest container leasing company as measured by fleet size according to Containerisation International Market Analysis: Container Leasing Market 2007, with over 500,000 TEU in its fleet. We began managing the Capital fleet on September 1, 2007. With this addition, we have over 2,000,000 TEU in our fleet. We funded the $56,000 purchase price through a borrowing under our secured debt facility, subsequently repaid with a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering. The purchase price will be fully amortized over the expected 13-year life of the contract on a pro-rata basis to the expected management fees.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. EBITDA (defined as net income before interest income and interest expense, realized and unrealized (gains) losses on interest rate swaps and caps, net, income tax (benefit) expense, minority interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and the related impact on minority interest expense) is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it may be a useful performance measure that is widely used within our industry. EBITDA is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure for comparison. We believe EBITDA provides useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations, our ability to service our long-term debt and other fixed obligations and our ability to fund our expected growth with internally generated funds. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:

 

   

EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

   

EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

   

EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

 

   

although depreciation is a non-cash charge, the assets being depreciated may be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

 

   

EBITDA is not adjusted for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows; and

 

   

other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Our total revenues primarily consist of leasing revenues derived from the lease of our owned containers and, to a lesser extent, fees received for managing containers owned by third parties, equipment resale and military management. The most important driver of our profitability is the extent to which revenues on our owned fleet and management fee income exceed our operating costs. The key drivers of our revenues are fleet size, rental rates and utilization. Our operating costs primarily consist of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, direct operating expenses and administrative expenses. Our lessees are generally responsible for loss of or damage to a container beyond ordinary wear and tear, and they are required to purchase insurance to cover any other liabilities.

Factors Affecting Our Performance

We believe there are a number of factors that have affected, and are likely to continue to affect, our operating performance. These factors include the following, among others:

 

   

the demand for leased containers;

 

   

lease rates;

 

   

our ability to lease our new containers shortly after we purchase them;

 

   

prices of new containers;

 

   

further consolidation of container manufacturers and/or decreased access to new containers; and

 

   

terrorist attacks, the threat of such attacks or the outbreak of war and hostilities.

For further details of these and other factors which may affect our business and results of operations, see Item 4, “Risk Factors” of our First Quarter 2008 6-K.

Management fee revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $2,193 (46.0%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to $2,390 in additional fees earned from managing the Capital fleet, partially offset by a $197 decrease due to a net decrease in the fleet size of our other managed fleets. Management fee revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $4,268 (42.1%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to $4,826 in additional fees earned from managing the Capital fleet, partially offset by a $558 decrease due to a net decrease in the fleet size of our other managed fleets.

Trading container sales proceeds for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $6,343 (157.6%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. $4,410 of this increase was due to a 109.5% increase in unit sales and $1,933 of the increase was due to an increase in average sales proceeds of $291 per unit. Trading container sales proceeds for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $16,921 (236.3%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. $13,751 of this increase was due to a 192.0% increase in unit sales and $3,170 of the increase was due to an increase in average sales proceeds of $201 per unit. We expect trading container sales volume to decrease in the second half of 2008 compared to the first half of 2008.

Gain on sale of containers, net for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,122 (43.3%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. $1,478 of the increase was due to a $205 increase in average sales proceeds per unit, partially offset by a decrease of $356 due to a 13.8% decrease in the number of containers sold. Gain on sale of containers, net for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,637 (29.2%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. $2,791 of the increase was due to a $192 increase in average sales proceeds per unit, partially offset by a decrease of $1,154 due to a 20.6% decrease in the number of containers sold.

Other, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 consisted of installment payments received for the sale of the Company’s Textainer Services Division (“TSD”), which provided services for cargo-security filing requirements.

of $2,279 from a gain of $1,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. $4,115 of the change was due to a decrease in average interest rates of 2.34 percentage points, partially offset by an increase of $95 due to an increase in average interest rate swap notional amounts of $18,283.

Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps, net for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $6,052 (538.9%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 due to an increase in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements held. Unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net for the six months ended June 30, 2008 changed to a gain of $906 from a loss of $222 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to a greater increase in the fair value of interest rate swap agreements held.

The U.S. military informed us in April and May of 2008 that 4,863 containers that they leased from us were unaccounted for. Of this total, 4,368 were owned containers and 495 were subleased. Per the terms of our contract with the U.S. military, they paid a stipulated value for each of these containers. Due to the loss of these containers, future rental income from the U.S. military on these containers will cease, but we did record a $1,689 gain on these containers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Other, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $987 and $1,158, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to the release of a $750 reserve and recognition of a $275 gain for the Company’s share of proceeds from the sale of Trencor’s South African container manufacturing plant (see Note 6(b), Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, herein).

The following table summarizes income tax and minority interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and the percentage changes between those periods:

The 2004 United States tax return for TGH’s subsidiary Textainer Equipment Management (U.S.) Limited and the 2004 and 2005 United States tax returns for TGH’s subsidiary Textainer Limited (“TL”) have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). In May 2008, the Company received notification from the U.S. IRS that they have completed their examination and made no changes to the amount of tax reported. As a result, the Company reduced the amount of unrecognized tax benefits by $4,000 and recognized a tax provision reduction of $4,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to -0.8% and 1.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, primarily as a result of the release of the $4,000 tax uncertainty reserve.

Minority interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $787 (-15.1%) and $3,024 (-33.0%), respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to TL’s purchase of 3,000 additional shares of TMCL on November 1, 2007, as a result of which TL, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, now owns 75% of TMCL’s Class A shares compared to 50% prior to the purchase. These decreases were partially offset by a higher level of net income generated by Textainer Marine Containers Limited (“TMCL”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Income before taxes attributable to the container ownership segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $11,312 (90.9%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. This increase consisted of a $6,052 increase in unrealized gains on interest rate swaps, net, a $3,630 decrease in interest expense, a $2,306 decrease in direct container expense, a $1,635 gain from disposal of lost military containers, net, a $1,122 increase in gain on sale of containers, the release of a $750 reserve and recognition of a $275 gain for the Company’s share of proceeds from the sale of Trencor’s South African container manufacturing plant and a $813 decrease in minority interest expense. These increases to income before taxes attributable to the container ownership segment were partially offset by a $2,480 decrease in realized (losses) gains on interest rate swaps and caps, net, a $1,518 increase in depreciation expense, a $622 decrease in lease rental income and a $317 decrease in interest income.

Income before taxes attributable to the container ownership segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $10,192 (42.7%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase consisted primarily of a $5,232 decrease in direct container expense, a $5,006 decrease in interest expense, and a $3,111 decrease in minority interest expense, a $1,637 increase in gain on sale of containers, net, a $1,635 gain from disposal of lost military containers, net, a $1,128 positive change in unrealized gains (losses) on interest rate swaps, net and the release of a $750 reserve and recognition of a $275 gain for the Company’s share of proceeds from the sale of Trencor’s South African container manufacturing plant. These increases to income before taxes attributable to the container ownership segment were partially offset by a $4,020 decrease in realized (losses) gains on interest rate swaps and caps, net, a $3,382 increase in depreciation expense, a $535 increase in overhead expenses and a $445 decrease in interest income.

Income before taxes attributable to the container management segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $859 (-20.8%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase of $1,117 in amortization expense due to the amortization of the intangible assets related to the acquisition of the rights to manage the Capital lease fleet, a $868 decrease in acquisition fees, a $826 increase in long-term incentive compensation expense, a $300 decrease in management fees due to a decrease in the fleet size of managed fleets other than the Capital lease fleet, a $273 increase in compensation cost, and a $120 increase in professional fees due primarily to being a public company. These decreases to income before taxes attributable to the container management segment were partially offset by an increase of $2,390 in management fees earned on the Capital fleet.

Income before taxes attributable to the container management segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $1,535 (-17.4%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase consisted primarily of a $2,233 increase in amortization expense due to the amortization of the intangible assets related to the acquisition of the rights to manage the Capital lease fleet, a $1,481 increase in long-term incentive compensation expense, a $699 decrease in management fees other than those related to the Capital lease fleet, a $930 decrease in acquisition fees, a $699 decrease in management fees due to a decrease in the fleet size of managed fleets other than the Capital lease fleet, a $539 increase in compensation cost, and a $226 increase in professional fees due primarily to being a public company. These decreases to income before taxes attributable to the container management segment were partially offset by an increase of $4,826 in management fees earned on the Capital transaction.

Income before taxes attributable to the container resale segment for the three months ended June 30, 2008 increased $1,877 (101.2%) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase consisted of a $1,632 increase in gains on container trading due to a higher volume of container sales and an increase in average proceeds of $136 per unit and a $373 increase in sales commissions due to a higher volume of container sales, partially offset by a $139 increase in overhead expenses.

Income before taxes attributable to the container resale segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $5,321 (148.0%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase consisted of a $4,683 increase in gains on container trading due to a higher volume of container sales and an increase in average proceeds of $234 per unit and a $913 increase in sales commissions due to a higher volume of container sales, partially offset by a $286 increase in overhead expenses.

Income before taxes attributable to the military management segment remained flat for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Income before taxes attributable to the military management segment for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased $193 (-18.1%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a $285 decrease in sublease income, partially offset by a $75 decrease in overhead expenses.

Currency

Almost all of our revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars and approximately 59% and 62% of our direct container expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively, were denominated in U.S. dollars. See Item 4, “Risk Factors—Because substantially all of our revenues are generated in U.S. dollars, but a significant portion of our expenses are incurred in other currencies, exchange rate fluctuations could have an adverse impact on our results of operations” of our First Quarter 2008 6-K. Our operations in locations outside of the U.S. have some exposure to non-U.S. currency fluctuations, and trade growth and the direction of trade flows can be influenced by large changes in relative currency values. However, part of our non-U.S. dollar operating expenses is transportation and other costs incurred as a result of the SDDC contract. The SDDC contract contains an adjustment feature such that we are effectively protected against most non-US currency risks for the expenses incurred under the SDDC contract. In 2007 and 2008, our non-U.S. dollar operating expenses were spread among 15 currencies, resulting in some level of self-hedging. We do not engage in currency hedging.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2008, we had cash and cash equivalents of $64,250. Our principal sources of liquidity have been (1) cash flows from operations, (2) proceeds from the issuance of common shares in connection with our October 2007 initial public offering, (3) the sale of containers, (4) the issuance of variable rate amortizing bonds (the “2005-1 Bonds”) by one of our subsidiaries, TMCL, (5) borrowings under a conduit facility (which allows for recurring borrowings and repayments) granted to TMCL, which was extended and increased on July 2, 2008 (the “Secured Debt Facility”) and (6) borrowings under the revolving credit facility extended to one of our subsidiaries, TL which was replaced by a new revolving credit facility extended to TL on April 22, 2008 (the “New Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2008, we had the following outstanding borrowings and borrowing capacities under the New Credit Facility, the Secured Debt Facility and the 2005-1 Bonds (in thousands):

We currently believe that cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of containers and borrowing ability under our debt facilities are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including for the payment of dividends, for the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

(1) On July 2, 2008, we extended our Secured Debt Facility and increased the commitment from $300,000 to $475,000. The Secured Debt Facility provides for payments of interest only during an initial two-year revolving period, with a provision for the Secured Debt Facility to then convert to a 10-year, but not to exceed 15-year amortizing note payable. Interest on the outstanding amount due under the Secured Debt Facility is payable monthly in arrears and equals 1.25% over LIBOR during the initial two-year revolving period. There is also a commitment fee of 0.30% on the unused portion of the Secured Debt Facility, which is payable monthly in arrears. Effective July 2, 2008, the Secured Debt Facility is no longer insured by Ambac Assurance Corporation.

 

(2) Current borrowings for the Secured Debt Facility and 2005-1 Bonds exclude step acquisition adjustments of $663 and $1,076, respectively, related to TL’s purchase of 3,000 additional shares of TMCL. The adjustments were recorded to reduce the balance of both the Secured Debt Facility and 2005-1 Bonds to an amount that equaled the fair market value of the debt on the date of the acquisition.

The New Credit Facility, the Secured Debt Facility and the 2005-1 Bonds require us to comply with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2008, we believe we were in compliance with all of the applicable financial covenants under the Prior Credit Facility, Secured Debt Facility and 2005-1 Bonds.

Operating Activities Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $5,589 (9.2%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to an increase in net income, partially offset by larger payments to owners and an increase in compensation cost.

Investing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $14,994 (22.1%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 due to higher new container purchases, partially offset by higher proceeds from sales of containers, and higher principal payments on direct financing and sales-type leases.

Financing Activities Cash Flows

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $9,540 (455.2%) compared to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a $55,500 net borrowing from secured debt facilities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a net borrowing of $39,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and a $7,904 decrease in dividends paid. These increases to net cash provided by financing activities were partially offset by a net borrowing on our revolving credit facility of $6,000 compared to a net borrowing of $16,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and a $771 increase in restricted cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to a $3,475 increase in restricted cash balances during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2008, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, change in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We have identified the policies and estimates in Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2007 Form 20-F as among those critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. These policies and estimates are considered critical due to the existence of uncertainty at the time the estimate is made, the likelihood of changes in estimates from period to period and the potential impact that these estimates can have on our financial statements. These policies remain consistent with those reported in our 2007 Form 20-F. Please refer to Item 5 “Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” in our 2007 Form 20-F.

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS; CAUTIONARY LANGUAGE

This Quarterly Report on Form 6-K, including the sections entitled Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contains forward-looking statements within the “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical facts and may relate to, but are not limited to, expectations or estimates of future operating results or financial performance, capital expenditures, introduction of new products, regulatory compliance, plans for growth and future operations, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar terminology. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy, and actual results may differ materially from those we anticipated due to a number of uncertainties, many of which cannot be foreseen. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including, among others, the risks we face that are described in the section entitled Item 4, “Risk Factors” of our First Quarter 2008 6-K and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K.

We believe that it is important to communicate our future expectations to potential investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control and that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. The risk factors listed in Item 4, “Risk Factors” of our First Quarter 2008 6-K, as well as any cautionary language in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K, provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Before you decide to buy, hold or sell our common shares, you should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in Item 4, “Risk Factors” of our First Quarter 2008 6-K and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K could negatively impact our business, cash flows, results of operations, financial condition and share price. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements regarding our present plans or expectations for fleet size, management contracts, container purchases, sources and availability of financing, and growth involve risks and uncertainties relative to return expectations and related allocation of resources, and changing economic or competitive conditions, as well as the negotiation of agreements with container investors, which could cause actual results to differ from present plans or expectations, and such differences could be material. Similarly, forward-looking statements regarding our present expectations for operating results and cash flow involve risks and uncertainties related to factors such as utilization rates, per diem rates, container prices, demand for containers by container shipping lines, supply and other factors discussed under Item 4, “Risk Factors” of our First Quarter 2008 6-K or elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K, which could also cause actual results to differ from present plans. Such differences could be material.

All future written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and we cannot predict those events or how they may affect us. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K speak only as of, and are based on information available to us on, the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K. We assume no obligation to, and do not plan to, update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by U.S. federal securities laws. You should read this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K and the documents that we reference and have furnished as exhibits with the understanding that we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements and that actual results may differ materially from what we expect.

Industry data and other statistical information used in this Quarterly Report on Form 6-K are based on independent publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources. Some data are also based on our good faith estimates, derived from our review of internal surveys and the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information.
