  Highlights                                                                      
  TRENCOR: GROUP                                                                  
  - Headline earnings per share (after unrealised foreign exchange translation    
  losses and gains) were 10,5 cents (June 2003: loss of 88,4 cents). In US dollar 
  terms, headline earnings were 4,4 cents per share (June 2003: 1,0 cent per      
  share)                                                                          
  - Trading income from continuing operations (which is mainly earned in foreign  
  currency), after net financing costs, increased by 10% from US$16,4 million to  
  US$18,1 million. However, translated into rand, this declined to R125 million   
  from R134 million at June 2003 due to the strengthening of the rand             
  - Unrealised exchange losses on translating net dollar receivables into rand    
  declined to R75 million compared to the loss of R272 million for the            
  corresponding period in 2003                                                    
  - Investment in Marlio and certain properties occupied by it, disposed of for an
  aggregate consideration of R63 million                                          
  - Consolidated gearing ratio is 179% (2003: 201%). The ratio excluding Textainer
  and TrenStar Inc has declined to 12% (2003: 24%)                                
  TEXTAINER                                                                       
  - Headline earnings for the half year were US$17,1 million (2003: US$12 million)
  - Average utilisation of the container fleet under management for six months to 
  30 June 2004 was 90,7% (June 2003: 88,3%). Current utilisation is at an all-time
  time high of 95,5%                                                              
  - 65% of the more than 1,1 million twenty foot equivalent units (`TEU`) under   
  management now on long-term lease                                               
  TRENSTAR                                                                        
  - Headline loss for the half year was US$5,7 million (2003: loss US$2,4 million)
  - Delays in closing certain significant contracts (including Coors UK) adversely
  affected attainment of profitability                                            
  - Revenue for the half year was US$23,3 million (2003: US$19,6 million)         
  - Acquired the beer keg fleet of Coors UK in June 2004 and will provide         
  outsourced management. This brings the kegs owned and managed by TrenStar to 60%
  of all kegs in the UK                                                           
  Tax queries                                                                     
  As previously reported, during September and October 1999 the South African     
  Revenue Service (`SARS`) issued queries to some of the group`s export partners  
  relating to the tax treatment of their participation in the container export    
  trade through export partnerships. The resultant investigation by SARS is well  
  into its sixth year but it is not possible to anticipate when it will be        
  concluded. We continue to use our best efforts to bring this matter to a        
  conclusion.                                                                     
  The income tax principles underlying the 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.                                                                  
  A successful challenge by SARS may result in the acceleration of the payment of 
  certain amounts attributable to third parties (i.e. our export partners) which  
  are carried at their net present values and which would otherwise be paid over  
  an average of about eight 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 possible challenge from SARS may
  take.

  The boards of Trencor and Mobile have decided not to declare a dividend at this 
  time.
