UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS                                                       
for the six months ended 30 June 2003                                           
HIGHLIGHTS                                                                      
* Trading income was R254 million (2002: R272 million) despite the adverse      
effect of the stronger rand on translation of these mainly foreign currency     
earnings into rand                                                              
* Textainer"s taxed income improved from US$4,5 million to                      
US$12 million                                                                   
* Utilisation of Textainer"s expanding container fleet (1 024 000 TEU at 30 June
2003) remained high at 89%                                                      
* 57% of Textainer"s fleet now on long-term lease, resulting in less volatile   
revenue                                                                         
* TrenStar made good progress, securing contracts with high profile             
international companies in the US in the tyre, automotive and food industries   
* Implementation of TrenStar"s beer keg contracts in the UK is going well and   
management systems go `live" on 1 September 2003                                
* Trailer business (40% held) continued to perform well                         
* The tank container factory at Parow traded satisfactorily in difficult trading
conditions but did not achieve breakeven                                        
* Strong rand resulted in an unrealised loss of R327 million (2002: unrealised  
loss R394 million) on translation of net receivables, partially mitigated by    
gains of R54 million (2002: R11 million) on translation of dollar loans         
* Headline attributable loss, after unrealised translation gains and losses, was
88,4 cents per share (2002: loss 140,7 cents)                                   
* Consolidated gearing ratio was 201% (2002: 210%) - ratio with Textainer and   
Brewers Logistics International notionally equity accounted was 24% (2002: 44%) 
* The boards of Trencor and Mobile have decided not to declare a dividend at    
this time                                                                       
TAX QUERIES                                                                     
The inquiry by the South African Revenue Service ("SARS") into the tax treatment
of the group"s export partners" participation in the export of cargo containers 
(in respect of transactions entered into in prior years) has now been open for  
almost five years.  We have reason to believe that SARS has completed its       
enquiries and we are hopeful that it will come to its conclusions in the near   
future.  The income tax principles underlying the tax treatment of the          
participation of our partners in the export trade have been the subject of a    
number of supportive legal opinions, including from various Senior Counsel, and 
we remain confident that the legal advice received will prevail should SARS seek
to challenge the tax treatment.                                                 
As previously reported, a successful challenge by SARS may result in the        
acceleration of the payment of a portion of the amounts attributable to third   
parties (i.e. our export partners) which are carried at the net present values, 
and which would otherwise be paid over an average period of about nine years.   
Such an outcome would have an adverse effect on the cash flow and profitability 
of the group.  It is not possible to quantify these effects, as it is not known 
what form any challenge from SARS may take.

The dilution arises as a result of                                              
any future conversion of convertible                                            
debentures. The directors are of the                                            
opinion that the debentures will                                                
not be converted in the foreseeable                                             
future and therefore no dilution is                                             
anticipated for the foreseeable                                                 
future. No dilutive effect has been                                             
presented in respect of the current

The dilution arises as a result of                                              
any future conversion of convertible                                            
debentures. The directors are of                                                
the opinion that the debentures                                                 
will not be converted in the                                                    
foreseeable future and therefore                                                
no dilution is anticipated for the                                              
foreseeable future. No dilutive                                                 
effect has been presented in respect                                            
of the current or prior year as this                                            
would be anti-dilutive.
