HIGHLIGHTS                                                                      
TRENCOR: GROUP                                                                  
Trading profit from continuing operations after net financing costs increased   
by 23% from R549 million in 2006 to R675 million. In US dollar terms, the       
increase was 17% from US$82 million to US$96 million.                           
Adjusted headline earnings per share, which includes net gains and losses       
arising from the ongoing disposals of containers from Textainer`s leasing       
fleet, were 214,0 cents, which are comparable to adjusted diluted headline      
earnings per share of 175,2 cents in 2006. Following the conversion of the      
convertible debentures into ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis effective 1  
January 2007, all per share comparatives are against diluted amounts.           
Headline earnings per share, which includes net unrealised foreign exchange     
gains and losses as well as two adjustments referred to below, were 212,9 cents,
which are comparable to diluted headline earnings per share in 2006 of 209,1    
cents.                                                                          
Earnings per share were enhanced by 21,6 cents because International Financial  
Reporting Standards ("IFRS") required that TrenStar Inc cease charging          
depreciation (of approximately US$10 million) on its UK beer keg fleet from 30  
March 2007, the date the company resolved to exit this business, although it    
continued to earn revenue on these assets until the contracts were finally      
terminated later in 2007.                                                       
Earnings in 2007 were further enhanced by an IFRS requirement that TrenStar Inc 
create a deferred tax asset of US$10,5 million which may be realised in 2008    
pursuant to the implementation of the strategic decisions referred to below. The
effect of this non -recurring item on Trencor`s earnings was 22,7 cents per     
share.                                                                          
Net realised and unrealised exchange losses arising on translation of net       
dollar receivables and the related provisions, not included in adjusted headline
earnings per share, were R29 million or 11,0 cents                              
per share (2006: net gain of R135 million or 51,2 cents per share).             
The above may be summarised as follows:

Fair value adjustment relating to net long-term receivables reduced by R61      
million (2006: R60 million) in recognition of continuing improved outlook for   
collectability and timing of receipts.                                          
Consolidated gearing ratio, including borrowings associated with TrenStar       
assets classified as held for resale at 31 December 2007 was 92% (2006: 174%).  
Final dividend of 58 cents per share declared, making a total of 80 cents per   
share for the year (2006: total 57 cents per share), an increase of 40%.        
TEXTAINER: 62,6% interest Textainer`s shares listed on the New York Stock       
Exchange for the first time on 10 October 2007.                                 
Net profit for the year was US$66,6 million (2006: US$54,2 million) after       
charging unrealised losses on interest-rate swaps of US$8,3 million (2006:      
unrealised loss US$0,6 million).                                                
Acquired the management of the 500 000 TEU (20 foot equivalent unit) fleet of   
Capital Lease effective 1 September 2007.                                       
Increased holding in the asset-owning subsidiary TMCL by purchasing one half    
of the amount formerly owned by Fortis Bank, our joint venture partner, for an  
investment of US$71,4 million.                                                  
Average utilisation of the fleet under management for the year calculated on a  
basis consistent with the past was 91.5% (2006: 91,1%). With effect from 1      
January 2007, the basis of calculation was changed to conform to that used by   
most competitors; on this basis average utilisation for the year was 93,9%.     
64,6% of the on-hire total fleet under management are on long-term lease.       
69,2% of the on-hire owned container fleet are on long- term lease.             
Re-entered the refrigerated container market segment and plans investment       
of US$30 million in 2008, increasing original capex budget for the year by      
10%.                                                                            
New equipment purchased during the year amounted to 137 600 TEU.                
TRENSTAR INC: 58% interest and TRENSTAR SA: 100% interest                       
We previously reported a review of strategic alternatives for the TrenStar      
companies, in the context of greater focus on our core container businesses     
(mainly Textainer). The review has resulted in the TrenStar companies being     
categorised as "held for sale", thus they have in these results for accounting  
purposes been treated as "discontinued operations". Plans for the               
implementation of this strategic decision are well advanced and shareholders    
will be advised of further developments.
