                                     PART I
ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.
         ---------
General
- -------

     Public Storage  Properties V, Ltd. (the  "Partnership")  is a publicly held
limited  partnership formed under the California Uniform Limited Partnership Act
in May 1978.  The  Partnership  raised  $22,000,000 in gross proceeds by selling
44,000  units  of  limited  partnership  interests  ("Units")  in an  interstate
offering  which  commenced  in March 1979 and  completed  in October  1979.  The
Partnership  was formed to engage in the business of  developing  and  operating
self-storage  facilities  offering  storage  space for personal and business use
(the "mini-warehouses").

     In 1995,  there were a series of mergers among Public  Storage  Management,
Inc. (which was the Partnership's mini-warehouse operator), Public Storage, Inc.
(which  was one of the  Partnership's  general  partners)  and their  affiliates
(collectively,  "PSMI"),  culminating in the November 16, 1995 merger (the "PSMI
Merger") of PSMI into Storage  Equities,  Inc., a real estate  investment  trust
("REIT")  organized as a  California  corporation.  In the PSMI Merger,  Storage
Equities,  Inc.  was renamed  Public  Storage,  Inc.  ("PSI")  and PSI  acquired
substantially  all of PSMI's United States real estate  operations  and became a
co-general  partner of the  Partnership  and the  operator of the  Partnership's
mini-warehouse properties.

     The  Partnership's  general partners are PSI and B. Wayne Hughes ("Hughes")
(collectively referred to as the "General Partners").  Hughes has been a general
partner of the Partnership since its inception.  Hughes is chairman of the board
and chief  executive  officer of PSI,  and Hughes and members of his family (the
"Hughes Family") are the major shareholders of PSI.

     The Partnership is managed and its investment  decisions are made by Hughes
and the  executive  officers and  directors of PSI. The limited  partners of the
Partnership  have no right to  participate  in the  operation  or conduct of its
business and affairs.

     The  Partnership's  objectives  are  to  (i)  maximize  the  potential  for
appreciation  in  value  of  the  Partnership's  properties  and  (ii)  generate
sufficient cash flow from operations to pay all expenses,  including the payment
of interest to Noteholders. All of the properties were financed in 1989.

     The term of the  Partnership is until all properties  have been sold and in
any event, not later than December 31, 2038.

Investments in Facilities
- -------------------------

     At December 31, 1996,  the  Partnership  owned 15 properties  including one
business  park.  Nine of the  properties  are  located in  California,  three in
Florida and three in Georgia.  One of the  mini-warehouses,  the  Miami/Perrine,
Florida facility, was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992, and will not
be reconstructed  (see Item 2 below). One property,  located in California,  was
sold in May 1982.

Mini-warehouse Properties
- -------------------------

     Mini-warehouses are designed to offer accessible storage space for personal
and business use at a relatively  low cost. A user rents a fully  enclosed space
which is for the user's  exclusive  use and to which only the user has access on
an  unrestricted   basis  during  business  hours.   On-site  operation  is  the
responsibility  of resident  managers who are supervised by area managers.  Some
mini-warehouses  also  include  rentable  uncovered  parking  areas for  vehicle
storage.  Leases for  mini-warehouse  space may be on a long-term or  short-term
basis,  although typically spaces are rented on a month-to-month  basis.  Rental
rates vary according to the location of the property and the size of the storage
space.

     Users of space in  mini-warehouses  include both  individuals and large and
small  businesses.  Individuals  usually employ this space for storage of, among
other  things,  furniture,  household  appliances,  personal  belongings,  motor
vehicles,  boats,  campers,  motorcycles and other household  goods.  Businesses
normally employ this space for storage of excess  inventory,  business  records,
seasonal goods, equipment and fixtures.

                                       2
<PAGE>

     Mini-warehouses  in which the Partnership has invested generally consist of
three to seven  buildings  containing an aggregate of between 350 to 750 storage
spaces, most of which have between 25 and 400 square feet and an interior height
of approximately 8 to 12 feet.

     The Partnership  experiences  minor seasonal  fluctuations in the occupancy
levels of  mini-warehouses  with occupancies higher in the summer months than in
the winter months. The Partnership  believes that these  fluctuations  result in
part from increased moving activity during the summer.

     The Partnership's  mini-warehouses  are geographically  diversified and are
generally  located in heavily  populated  areas and close to  concentrations  of
apartment  complexes,  single family  residences  and  commercial  developments.
However,  there may be  circumstances  in which it may be  appropriate  to own a
property  in a less  populated  area,  for  example,  in an area  that is highly
visible  from a major  thoroughfare  and  close to,  although  not in, a heavily
populated area. Moreover,  in certain population centers,  land costs and zoning
restrictions may create a demand for space in nearby less populated areas.

     As with most other types of real estate,  the conversion of mini-warehouses
to  alternative  uses in  connection  with a sale or otherwise  would  generally
require  substantial  capital  expenditures.  However,  the Partnership does not
intend to convert its mini-warehouses to other uses.

Commercial Property
- -------------------

     The Partnership  owns one commercial  property,  a business park located in
San Francisco, California.

Operating Strategies
- --------------------

     The  Partnership's  mini-warehouses  are  operated by PSI under the "Public
Storage" name, which the Partnership believes is the most recognized name in the
mini-warehouse  industry.  The major  elements  of the  Partnership's  operating
strategies are as follows:

     *  CAPITALIZE ON "PUBLIC  STORAGE'S" NAME  RECOGNITION.  PSI, together with
        its predecessor,  has more than 20 years of operating  experience in the
        mini-warehouse business. PSI has informed the Partnership that it is the
        largest  mini-warehouse  facility operator in the United States in terms
        of both number of facilities and rentable space  operated.  PSI believes
        that its  marketing and  advertising  programs  improve its  competitive
        position in the market.  PSI's  in-house  Yellow Pages staff designs and
        places  advertisements in approximately  700 directories.  Commencing in
        early 1996, PSI began to experiment with a telephone  reservation system
        designed to provide added  customer  service.  Customers  calling either
        PSI's  toll-free  telephone  referral  system,  (800)  44-STORE,   or  a
        mini-warehouse facility are directed to PSI's reservation system where a
        trained  representative  discusses with the customer space requirements,
        price and  location  preferences  and also informs the customer of other
        products  and services  provided by PSI. As of December  31,  1996,  the
        telephone  reservation  system was supporting  rental activity at all of
        the Partnership's properties.  PSI's toll-free telephone referral system
        services  approximately 120,000 calls per month from potential customers
        inquiring as to the nearest Public Storage mini-warehouse.

     *  MAINTAIN HIGH OCCUPANCY LEVELS AND INCREASE  REALIZED RENTS.  Subject to
        market  conditions,  the Partnership  generally seeks to achieve average
        occupancy  levels in excess of 90% and to eliminate  promotions prior to
        increasing  rental  rates.   Average  occupancy  for  the  Partnership's
        mini-warehouses  has increased from 90% in 1995 to 92% in 1996. Realized
        monthly rents per occupied  square foot  increased  from $.76 in 1995 to
        $.78 in 1996. The Partnership has increased rental rates in many markets
        where it has achieved high occupancy  levels and eliminated or minimized
        promotions.

     *  SYSTEMS AND CONTROLS. PSI has an organizational structure and a property
        operation system,  "CHAMP"  (Computerized Help and Management  Program),
        which links its corporate office with each mini-warehouse.  This enables
        PSI to obtain daily information from each  mini-warehouse and to achieve
        efficiencies   in  operations  and  maintain   control  over  its  space
        inventory,   rental  rates,  promotional  discounts  and  delinquencies.
        Expense management is achieved through  centralized payroll and accounts
        payable systems and a comprehensive property tax appeals department, and
        PSI has an extensive  internal  audit program  designed to ensure proper
        handling of cash collections.
                                       3

     *  PROFESSIONAL  PROPERTY  OPERATION.  In addition to the approximately 150
        support  personnel at the Public Storage  corporate  offices,  there are
        approximately   2,700  on-site   personnel  who  manage  the  day-to-day
        operations of the  mini-warehouses  in the Public Storage system.  These
        on-site personnel are supervised by approximately 110 district managers,
        15 regional  managers and three divisional  managers (with an average of
        13 years' experience in the  mini-warehouse  industry) who report to the
        president of the  mini-warehouse  property operator (who has 12 years of
        experience with the Public Storage organization).  PSI carefully selects
        and extensively  trains the operational and support personnel and offers
        them a progressive career path. See "Property Operators."

Property Operators
- ------------------

     The  Partnership's   mini-warehouse  properties  are  managed  by  PSI  (as
successor  to PSMI)  pursuant  to a  Management  Agreement.  Through  1996,  the
Partnership's  commercial  property  was  managed by Public  Storage  Commercial
Properties Group, Inc. ("PSCPG") pursuant to a Management Agreement.  In January
1997, American Office Park Properties, L.P. ("AOPPLP") became the manager of the
Partnership's  commercial property pursuant to the Management Agreement.  AOPPLP
is an operating  partnership  formed to own and operate  business parks in which
PSI has an approximate 85% economic  interest.  The general partner of AOPPLP is
PSCPG, now known as American Office Park Properties, Inc.

     Under the  supervision of the  Partnership,  PSI and AOPPLP  coordinate the
operation  of the  facilities,  establish  rental  policies  and  rates,  direct
marketing   activity  and  direct  the  purchase  of  equipment   and  supplies,
maintenance  activity and the selection and engagement of all vendors,  supplies
and independent contractors.

     PSI and AOPPLP engage, at the expense of the Partnership, employees for the
operation  of  the  Partnership's   facilities,   including  resident  managers,
assistant managers, relief managers, and billing and maintenance personnel. Some
or all of these  employees may be employed on a part-time  basis and may also be
employed by other persons, partnerships,  real estate investment trusts or other
entities owning facilities operated by PSI and AOPPLP.

     In the  purchasing of services  such as  advertising  (including  broadcast
media advertising) and insurance,  PSI and AOPPLP attempt,  to achieve economies
by  combining  the  resources  of  the  various  facilities  that  it  operates.
Facilities operated by PSI have historically  carried  comprehensive  insurance,
including fire, earthquake, liability and extended coverage.

     PSI and AOPPLP have developed systems for space  inventory,  accounting and
handling  delinquent  accounts,  including a  computerized  network  linking PSI
operated  facilities.  Each project manager is furnished with detailed operating
procedures and typically receives facilities  management training from PSI. Form
letters  covering a variety of  circumstances  are also  supplied to the project
managers.  A record of actions taken by the project managers when  delinquencies
occur is maintained.

     The Partnership's  facilities are typically advertised via signage,  yellow
pages,  flyers  and  broadcast  media  advertising  (television  and  radio)  in
geographic  areas in which many of the  Partnership's  facilities  are  located.
Broadcast  media and other  advertising  costs are charged to the  Partnership's
facilities located in geographic areas affected by the advertising. From time to
time,  PSI  and  AOPPLP  adopt  promotional  programs,  such as  temporary  rent
reductions, in selected areas or for individual facilities.

     For as long as the Management  Agreement between the Partnership and PSI is
in effect,  PSI has granted the Partnership a  non-exclusive  license to use two
PSI service marks and related  designs  including  the "Public  Storage" name in
conjunction  with rental and  operation of  facilities  managed  pursuant to the
Management  Agreement.   Upon  termination  of  the  Management  Agreement,  the
Partnership  would no longer have the right to use the service marks and related
designs.  The  General  Partners  believe  that the loss of the right to use the
service marks and related  designs could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Partnership's business.

     The Management  Agreement between the Partnership and PSI provides that the
Management  Agreement  may be  terminated  without  cause upon 60 days'  written
notice by either party.  The Management  Agreement  between the  Partnership and
AOPPLP  provides that the  Management  Agreement  may be terminated  (i) without
cause upon 60 days written notice by the Partnership and upon seven years notice
by AOPPLP and (ii) at any time by either party for cause.

Competition
- -----------

     Competition  in the  market  areas in which  the  Partnership  operates  is
significant  and  affects  the  occupancy  levels,  rental  rates and  operating
expenses  of  certain  of  the  Partnership's  facilities.  Competition  may  be
accelerated  by any increase in  availability  of funds for  investment  in real
estate. Recent increases in plans for development of mini-warehouses is expected
to further  intensify  competition  among  mini-warehouse  operators  in certain
market areas. In addition to competition from  mini-warehouses  operated by PSI,
there are three other national firms and numerous  regional and local operators.
The Partnership believes that the significant operating and financial experience
of PSI and the "Public Storage" name,  should enable the Partnership to continue
to compete effectively with other entities.

Other Business Activities
- -------------------------

     A corporation owned by the Hughes Family reinsures  policies against losses
to goods stored by tenants in the Partnership's mini-warehouses. The Partnership
believes that the availability of insurance  reduces the potential  liability of
the  Partnership to tenants for losses to their goods from theft or destruction.
This  corporation  receives the premiums and bears the risks associated with the
insurance.

     A  corporation,  in which PSI has a 95%  economic  interest  and the Hughes
Family has a 5% economic interest,  sells locks, boxes and tape to tenants to be
used in securing  their  spaces and moving their  goods.  PSI believes  that the
availability of locks, boxes and tape for sale promotes the rental of spaces.

Employees
- ---------

     There are 48 persons  who  render  services  on behalf of the  Partnership.
These persons include resident managers,  assistant  managers,  relief managers,
district managers, and administrative  personnel. Some employees may be employed
on a part-time basis and may be employed by other persons,  Partnerships,  REITs
or other entities owning facilities operated by PSI.

(1)  In August 1992, the facility's  mini-warehouse  buildings were destroyed by
     Hurricane  Andrew.  The General Partners have decided that it would be more
     beneficial  to the  Partnership,  given the condition of the market area of
     the facility,  to cease operations and not to reconstruct the facility.  In
     June 1996, the Partnership sold approximately 61% of the land.

     Substantially  all of the  Partnership's  facilities were acquired prior to
the time  that it was  customary  to  conduct  environmental  investigations  in
connection with property  acquisitions.  During 1995, the Partnership  completed
environmental  assessments  of its  properties  to  evaluate  the  environmental
condition of, and potential environmental liabilities of such properties.  These
assessments  were performed by an  independent  environmental  consulting  firm.
Based on the  assessments,  the Partnership  expensed  $27,000 in 1995 for known
environmental remediation requirements.

     The properties are held subject to encumbrances which are described in this
report under Note 7 of the Notes to the  Financial  Statements  included in Item
14(a).

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
         ------------------

     No material legal proceeding is pending against the Partnership.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
         ---------------------------------------------------

     No matters were  submitted to a vote of security  holders during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER 
         MATTERS.
         ------------------------------------------------------------------

     The Partnership has no common stock.

     The Units are not listed on any national  securities  exchange or quoted on
the NASDAQ  System and there is no  established  public  trading  market for the
Units. Secondary sales activity for the Units has been limited and sporadic. The
General Partners monitor transfers of the Units (a) because the admission of the
transferee as a substitute  limited partner  requires the consent of the General
Partners under the Partnership's  Amended and Restated Certificate and Agreement
of  Limited  Partnership,  (b) in order to ensure  compliance  with safe  harbor
provisions  to  avoid  treatment  as a  "publicly  traded  partnership"  for tax
purposes,  and (c) because the General Partners have purchased  Units.  However,
the General Partners do not have  information  regarding the prices at which all
secondary  sale  transactions  in  the  Units  have  been  effectuated.  Various
organizations  offer  to  purchase  and  sell  limited   partnership   interests
(including  securities  of the  type  such  as the  Units)  in  secondary  sales
transactions.  Various  publications  such as The Stanger  Report  summarize and
report  information (on a monthly,  bimonthly or less frequent basis)  regarding
secondary sales  transactions in limited  partnership  interests  (including the
Units),  including the prices at which such  secondary  sales  transactions  are
effectuated.

     Exclusive  of the  General  Partners'  interest in the  Partnership,  as of
December 31, 1996, there were approximately 1,614 record holders of Units.

     In March 1997, Hughes commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to 6,600
of the 44,000 outstanding Units at $459 per Unit.

     Distributions  to the general and limited  partners of all "Cash  Available
for Distribution"  have been made quarterly.  Cash Available for Distribution is
generally  funds from  operations  of the  Partnership,  without  deduction  for
depreciation,  but after  deducting  funds to pay or establish  reserves for all
other expenses (other than incentive  distributions  to the general partner) and
capital  improvements,  plus net  proceeds  from any  sale or  financing  of the
Partnership's  properties. In the third quarter of 1991, quarterly distributions
were  discontinued  to enable the  Partnership  to  increase  its  reserves  for
principal  repayments that commenced in 1991 and will continue  through 1999, at
which time the entire remaining principal balance will be payable.

ITEM 7   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995:

     The  Partnership's net income was $1,665,000 in 1996 compared to $1,426,000
in 1995,  representing  an increase of  $239,000.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable   to  an  increase  in  property  net   operating   income  at  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities combined with decreased interest expense
and a $13,000 gain recognized on the sale of vacant land.

     During 1996,  property net  operating  income  (rental  income less cost of
operations,  management  fees paid to affiliates and  depreciation  expense) was
$3,756,000 in 1996 compared to $3,586,000 in 1995,  representing  an increase of
$170,000 or 5%.  This  increase  was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in
rental  income  at the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities  and  the  San
Francisco business park facility offset by increases in cost of operations and
depreciation expense.

     Rental  income was  $6,589,000  in 1996  compared  to  $6,210,000  in 1995,
representing  an  increase  of  $379,000  or  6%.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable to an increase in rental income at the Partnership's mini-warehouse
facilities  due primarily to an increase in rental  rates.  Rental income at the
San  Francisco  business  park  facility  increased  by $49,000 due to a 3 point
increase  in  occupancy.   The  weighted   average   occupancy  levels  for  the
mini-warehouse  and business park facilities were 92% and 94%  respectively,  in
1996 compared to 90% and 91%  respectively,  in 1995. The monthly  realized rent
per occupied  square foot for the  mini-warehouse  and business park  facilities
averaged  $.78 and  $1.17,  respectively,  in 1996  compared  to $.76 and $1.04,
respectively, in 1995.

     Other income  decreased  $47,000 in 1996 compared to 1995.  The decrease is
due to the recognition of $109,000 of business  interruption  insurance proceeds
in 1995,  offset by an increase in interest income of  approximately  $62,000 in
1996  compared to 1995.  The  increase  in interest  income in 1996 is due to an
increase in invested cash balances.

     Dividend income from marketable  securities of affiliate  increased $15,000
in 1996  compared to 1995.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in the
weighted average number of shares owned in 1996 compared to 1995.

     Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliates) increased
$132,000 or 7% to $2,068,000 in 1996 from  $1,936,000 in 1995. This increase was
primarily  attributable  to increases  in payroll,  property tax and repairs and
maintenance expenses.

     In 1995, the  Partnership  prepaid eight months of 1996  management fees on
its  mini-warehouse  operations (based on the management fees for the comparable
period during the calendar year immediately preceding the prepayment) discounted
at the rate of 14% per year to compensate for early payment. The Partnership has
expensed  the prepaid  management  fees during  1996.  The amount is included in
management  fees paid to affiliate in the  statements of income.  As a result of
the prepayment,  the Partnership saved approximately $22,000 in management fees,
based on the  management  fees that  would have been  payable  on rental  income
generated during 1996 compared to the amount prepaid.

     Interest   expense  was   $2,533,000  and  $2,598,000  in  1996  and  1995,
respectively,  representing  a  decrease  of $65,000  or 3%.  The  decrease  was
primarily a result of a lower average  outstanding loan balance in 1996 compared
to 1995.

<PAGE>

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994:

     The  Partnership's net income was $1,426,000 in 1995 compared to $1,189,000
in 1994,  representing  an increase of  $237,000.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable   to  an  increase  in  property  net   operating   income  at  the
Partnership's mini-warehouse facilities combined with decreased interest expense
and  partially  offset by  environmental  costs  incurred  on the  Partnership's
facilities in 1995 (see discussion below).

     During 1995,  property net  operating  income  (rental  income less cost of
operations,  management  fees paid to affiliates and  depreciation  expense) was
$3,586,000 in 1995 compared to $3,515,000 in 1994,  representing  an increase of
$71,000 or 2%. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in rental
income at the  Partnership's  mini-warehouse  facilities  partially  offset by a
decrease in rental  income at the San  Francisco  business  park facility and an
increase in cost of operations and depreciation expense.

     Rental  income was  $6,210,000  in 1995  compared  to  $6,012,000  in 1994,
representing  an  increase  of  $198,000  or  3%.  The  increase  was  primarily
attributable to an increase in rental income at the Partnership's mini-warehouse
facilities  due primarily to an increase in rental  rates.  Rental income at the
San  Francisco  business  park  facility  declined  by $31,000  due to a 4 point
decrease  in  occupancy.   The  weighted   average   occupancy  levels  for  the
mini-warehouse and business park facilities were 90% and 91%,  respectively,  in
1995 compared to 89% and 95%,  respectively,  in 1994. The monthly realized rent
per occupied  square foot for the  mini-warehouse  and business park  facilities
averaged  $.76 and  $1.04,  respectively,  in 1995  compared  to $.74 and $1.10,
respectively, in 1994.

     Other  income  increased  $14,000 in 1995  compared to 1994.  Other  income
includes  business  interruption  insurance  proceeds  (net of certain costs and
expenses of maintaining  the Miami  facility,  discussed below in the results of
operations  for the year ended  December  31,  1994),  relating to the  disposed
facility, of $109,000 and $87,000 in 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     Dividend income from marketable  securities of affiliate  increased $96,000
in 1995 compared to 1994.  This increase was mainly  attributable to an increase
in the number of shares  owned in 1995  compared  to 1994 and an increase in the
dividend rate from $.21 to $.22 per quarter per share.

     Cost of operations (including management fees paid to affiliates) increased
$57,000 or 3% to $1,936,000 in 1995 from  $1,879,000 in 1994.  This increase was
primarily  attributable  to  increases  in payroll and  repairs and  maintenance
offset by a decrease in property tax expense.

     Substantially  all of the  Partnership's  facilities were acquired prior to
the time  that it was  customary  to  conduct  environmental  investigations  in
connection with property  acquisitions.  During 1995, the Partnership  completed
environmental  assessments  of its  properties  to  evaluate  the  environmental
condition of, and potential environmental liabilities of such properties.  These
assessments  were performed by an  independent  environmental  consulting  firm.
Based on the  assessments,  the Partnership  expensed  $27,000 in 1995 for known
environmental remediation requirements.  Although there can be no assurance, the
Partnership  is not  aware  of  any  environmental  contamination  of any of its
property sites which  individually  or in the aggregate would be material to the
Partnership's overall business, financial condition or results of operations.

     Interest   expense  was   $2,598,000  and  $2,677,000  in  1995  and  1994,
respectively,  representing  a  decrease  of $79,000  or 3%.  The  decrease  was
primarily a result of a lower average  outstanding loan balance in 1995 compared
to 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     Cash  flows  from  operating  activities  ($2,621,000  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1996) have been  sufficient to meet all current  obligations of the
Partnership.  During 1997, the Partnership anticipates approximately $759,000 of
capital improvements. During 1995, the Partnership's property operator commenced
a program to enhance the visual  appearance  of the  mini-warehouse  facilities.
Such  enhancements  will  include  new  signs,   exterior  color  schemes,   and
improvements  to the rental  offices.  Included in the 1997 capital  improvement
budget are estimated costs of $58,000 for such enhancements.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     At December 31, 1996, the  Partnership  held 440,584 shares of common stock
(marketable  securities)  with  a  fair  value  totaling  $13,658,000  (cost  of
$5,283,000 at December 31, 1996) in Public Storage, Inc. (PSI). During 1996, the
Partnership recognized $388,000 in dividend income on these shares.

     In November 1995, the Management Agreement was amended to provide that upon
demand from PSI or PSMI made prior to December 15, 1995, the Partnership  agreed
to prepay (within 15 days after such demand) up to 12 months of management  fees
(based on the management fees for the comparable period during the calendar year
immediately preceding such prepayment) discounted at the rate of 14% per year to
compensate for early payment.  In December 1995, the Partnership prepaid to PSI,
8 months of 1996  management  fees at a cost of  $229,000.  The  amount has been
amortized as management fees paid to affiliate during 1996.

     In June 1996, the Partnership sold approximately 61% of the Miami,  Florida
land for a net price of  $376,000  ($400,000  less  $24,000 of  selling  costs),
resulting in a $13,000 gain on the sale.  The buyer of the land has an option to
purchase the remaining 39% of the land for $450,000 (the Partnership's basis is
$230,000 in such land).

     The  aggregate  amount of  distributions  paid to the  Limited  and General
Partners each year since inception of the Partnership were as follows:


                1979                   $   338,000
                1980                     1,281,000
                1981                     1,449,000
                1982                     4,455,000
                1983                     2,737,000
                1984                     3,187,000
                1985                     3,868,000
                1986                     4,046,000
                1987                     3,506,000
                1988                     3,211,000
                1989                    26,253,000
                1990                       438,000
                1991                       146,000
                1992                             -
                1993                             -
                1994                             -
                1995                             -
                1996                             -

     Quarterly  distributions  were reduced in 1990 and discontinued in 1991, to
enable the Partnership to increase its cash reserves for principal payments that
commenced in 1991 and are  scheduled  to increase in  subsequent  years  through
1999, at which time the remaining principal balance is payable.

     During the third  quarter of 1987,  the limited  partners  recovered all of
their initial  investment thereby increasing the General Partners' share of cash
distributions from 8% to 25% (see Item 13).

     During  1989,  the  Partnership  financed  all  of  its  properties  with a
$26,250,000  loan  with  fixed  interest  of  10.75%  per  annum.   Proceeds  of
$24,356,000  were  distributed  to the partners in June 1989 and are included in
the 1989  distribution.  In February 1994, the Partnership  made a prepayment of
principal totaling $1,530,000 on this note. As a result of the pre-payment,  the
monthly  payment of principal  and  interest  has been reduced from  $257,000 to
$242,000. At December 31, 1996, the outstanding balance of the mortgage note was
$22,748,000, which matures on June 1, 1999.

Units of Limited          Public Storage, Inc.                           21,221 Units (1)                 48.2%

Units of Limited          B. Wayne Hughes                                4,982 Units (2)                  11.3%
Partnership Interest      701 Western Avenue
                          Glendale, California 91201
</TABLE>

          and dispositive  power and (ii) 4,852 Units which PSI has an option to
          acquire (together with other  securities) from BWH Marina  Corporation
          II (a corporation wholly-owned by Hughes) and as to which PSI has sole
          voting power  (pursuant to an  irrevocable  proxy) and no  dispositive
          power.

 (2)      Includes  (i)  130  Units  owned  by  BWH  Marina  Corporation  II,  a
          Corporation wholly-owned by Hughes, as to which Hughes has sole voting

     (b) The  Partnership  has no officers and directors.  The General  Partners
have  contributed  $222,222  to the capital of the  Partnership  and as a result
participate  in  the   distributions   to  the  limited   partners  and  in  the
Partnership's  profits  and  losses  in the same  proportion  that  the  General
Partners'  capital  contribution  bears  to  the  total  capital   contribution.
Information  regarding  ownership  of  Units  by PSI  and  Hughes,  the  General
Partners,  is set forth under section (a) above. Dann V. Angeloff, a director of
PSI,  beneficially  owns 27  Units  (0.06%  of the  Units).  The  directors  and

aggregate of 5,034 Units,  representing  11.4% of the Units (including the 4,982
Units beneficially owned by Hughes as set forth above).

     (c) The Partnership knows of no contractual arrangements,  the operation of
the terms of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the
Partnership,  except for articles 16, 17 and 21.1 of the  Partnership's  Amended
Certificate and Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership  Agreement"),
                                       14
<PAGE>

a copy of which is  included  in the  Partnership's  prospectus  included in the
Partnership's  Registration  Statement File No. 2-63247. Those articles provide,
in substance,  that the limited partners shall have the right, by majority vote,
to remove a general partner and that a general partner may designate a successor
with the  consent of the other  general  partner  and a majority  of the limited
partners.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.
         ----------------------------------------------
     The  Partnership  Agreement  provides  that the  General  Partners  will be
entitled  to  cash  incentive  distributions  in an  amount  equal  to (i) 8% of
distributions  of cash  flow from  operations  until  the  distributions  to all
partners from all sources equal their capital contributions;  thereafter, 25% of
distributions of cash flow from operations,  and (ii) 25% of distributions  from
net proceeds from sale and financing of the Partnership's  properties  remaining
after  distribution  to all  partners of any portion  thereof  required to cause
distributions to partners from all sources to equal their capital contributions.
The partners  received  distributions  equal to their capital  contributions  in
1987. The Partnership has not made any distributions  since the third quarter of
1991.

     The Partnership  has a Management  Agreement with PSI pursuant to which the
Partnership  pays PSI a fee of 6% of the gross  revenues  of the  mini-warehouse
spaces operated for the  Partnership.  During 1996, the Partnership paid fees of
$132,000 to PSI pursuant to the Management Agreement.

     In November 1995, the Management Agreement was amended to provide that upon
demand from PSI or PSMI made prior to December 15, 1995, the Partnership  agreed
to prepay (within 15 days after such demand) up to 12 months of management  fees
(based on the management fees for the comparable period during the calendar year
immediately preceding such prepayment) discounted at the rate of 14% per year to
compensate for early payment.  In December 1995, the Partnership prepaid to PSI,
8 months of 1996  management  fees at a cost of  $229,000.  The  amount has been
amortized as management fees paid to affiliate during 1996.

     Through 1996, the  Partnerships'  commercial  property was managed by PSCPG
pursuant to a Management  Agreement  which  provides for the payment of a fee by
the Partnership of 5% of the gross revenues of the commercial space operated for
the Partnership.  During 1996, the Partnership paid $11,000 to PSCPG pursuant to
the  Management  Agreement.  PSI has a 95%  economic  interest  (represented  by
nonvoting  preferred  stock) in PSCPG and the Hughes  Family  had a 5%  economic
interest (represented by voting common stock) in PSCPG until December 1996, when
the Hughes Family sold its interest to Ronald L. Havner,  Jr.,  formerly  Senior
Vice  President  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  of PSI,  who  became  the Chief
Executive  Officer of PSCPG.  PSCPG issued additional voting common stock to two
unaffiliated investors.

     In January 1997, AOPPLP became the operator of the Partnership's commercial
property  pursuant  to  the  Management   Agreement.   AOPPLP  is  an  operating
partnership  formed  to own and  operate  business  parks  in  which  PSI has an
approximate 85% economic  interest.  The general partner of AOPPLP is PSCPG, now
known as American Office Park Properties, Inc.

The Partners
Public Storage Properties V, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of Public Storage Properties V,
Ltd. as of December  31, 1996 and 1995,  and the related  statements  of income,
partners'  equity  (deficit)  and cash flows for each of the three  years in the
period ended December 31, 1996. Our audits also included the schedule  listed in
the  index at item  14(a).  These  financial  statements  and  schedule  are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial  position of Public Storage Properties V,
Ltd. at December 31, 1996 and 1995,  and the results of its  operations  and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Also, in our opinion,
the related  financial  statement  schedule,  when considered in relation to the
basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole,  presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                December 31, 1996


1.       DESCRIPTION OF PARTNERSHIP

               Public Storage Properties V, Ltd. (the  "Partnership") was formed
         with the  proceeds of a public  offering.  The general  partners in the
         Partnership  are  Public  Storage,  Inc.,  formerly  known  as  Storage
         Equities,  Inc. and B. Wayne Hughes  ("Hughes").  In 1995, there were a
         series of mergers among Public Storage Management,  Inc. (which was the
         Partnership's  mini-warehouse property operator),  Public Storage, Inc.
         (which  was  one of  the  Partnership's  general  partners)  and  their
         affiliates (collectively, "PSMI"), culminating in the November 16, 1995
         merger of PSMI into Storage  Equities,  Inc., a real estate  investment
         trust  listed  on the New York  Stock  Exchange.  In the  PSMI  merger,
         Storage  Equities,  Inc.'s  name was  changed to Public  Storage,  Inc.
         ("PSI") and PSI became a co-general  partner of the Partnership and the
         operator of the Partnership's mini-warehouse properties.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS

         Basis of Presentation:
         ----------------------

               Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with
         1996 presentation.

         Real Estate Facilities:
         -----------------------

               Cost of land  includes  appraisal  fees and legal fees related to
         acquisition  and closing costs.  Buildings and equipment  reflect costs
         incurred through December 31, 1996 and 1995 to develop  mini-warehouses
         and to a lesser extent,  a business park facility.  The  mini-warehouse
         facilities provide  self-service storage spaces for lease, usually on a
         month-to-month   basis,  to  the  general  public.  The  buildings  and
         equipment  are  depreciated  on a  straight-line  basis over  estimated
         useful lives of 25 and 5 years, respectively.

               In  August  1992,  the  buildings  at a  mini-warehouse  facility
         located  in Miami,  Florida  were  completely  destroyed  by  Hurricane
         Andrew.   The  Partnership   received   insurance   proceeds   totaling
         $2,881,000,  which included an amount for the  replacement  cost of the
         destroyed buildings as well as for business interruption.  In 1993, the
         General  Partners  decided  that it  would  be more  beneficial  to the
         Partnership,   given  the   condition   of  the  market   area  of  the
         mini-warehouse,  to cease  operations at this  location and  therefore,
         decided not to  reconstruct  the  buildings.  Accordingly,  in 1993 the
         Partnership reduced real estate facilities by the net book value of the
         destroyed  buildings,  resulting in a gain of  $1,369,000.  In December
         1995, the Partnership  entered into an option agreement with a buyer to
         sell  the  land  for  $850,000  In  June  1996,  the  Partnership  sold
         approximately  61%  of the  Miami,  Florida  land  for a net  price  of
         $376,000  ($400,000  less  $24,000 of  selling  cost),  resulting  in a
         $13,000  gain on the  sale.  The  buyer of the land  has an  option  to
         purchase the remaining 39% of the land for $450,000 (the  Partnership's
         basis in the land is $230,000 in such land).

               Included  in other  income are  $109,000  and $87,000 of business
         interruption proceeds (net of certain costs and expenses of maintaining
         the  property)  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1995,  and  1994,
         respectively.


               In  1995,  the  Financial   Accounting   Standards  Board  issued
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,  "Accounting for
         the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be
         Disposed of"  ("Statement  121").  Statement  121  requires  impairment
         losses to be recorded on  long-lived  assets  used in  operations  when
         indicators of impairment  are present and the  undiscounted  cash flows
         estimated  to be  generated  by those  assets are less than the assets'
         carrying  amount.  Statement  121 also  addresses  the  accounting  for
         long-lived  assets that are expected to be disposed of. The Partnership
         adopted  Statement  121 in 1996 and the  adoption  had no effect on the
         Partnership's financial statements.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS 
         (CONTINUED) 
         ------------------------------------------------------------------

         Allocation of Net Income:
         -------------------------

               The  general  partners'  share of net income  consists of amounts
         attributable  to  their  1%  capital  contribution  and  an  additional
         percentage  of cash flow (as  defined)  which  relates  to the  general
         partners' share of cash  distributions  as set forth in the Partnership
         Agreement  (Note 4).  All  remaining  net  income is  allocated  to the
         limited partners.

               Per unit  data is based on the  weighted  average  number  of the
         limited partnership units (44,000) outstanding during the period.

         Cash and Cash Equivalents:
         --------------------------

               For financial statement purposes,  the Partnership  considers all
         highly liquid investments  purchased with a maturity of three months or
         less to be cash equivalents.

         Marketable Securities:
         ----------------------

               Marketable  securities  at December  31, 1996 and 1995 consist of
         440,584 shares of common stock of PSI. The  Partnership  has designated
         its  portfolio of marketable  securities  as being  available for sale.
         Accordingly,  at  December  31,  1996 and  1995,  the  Partnership  has
         recorded  the  marketable  securities  at fair  value,  based  upon the
         closing  quoted price of the  securities at December 31, 1996 and 1995,
         and has recorded a corresponding  unrealized gain totaling  $5,287,000,
         $1,962,000 and  $1,126,000 for the years ended December 31, 1996,  1995
         and  1994, respectively,   as  a  credit  to  Partnership  equity.  The
         Partnership  recognized dividends of $388,000,  $373,000,  and $277,000
         for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

         Other Assets:
         -------------

               Included in other assets is deferred  financing costs of $197,000
         ($279,000 at December  31,  1995).  Such balance is being  amortized as
         interest  expense  using the  straight-line  basis over the life of the
         loan.

         Use of Estimates
         ----------------

               The  preparation of the financial  statements in conformity  with
         generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make
         estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect the  amounts  reported in the
         financial  statements  and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results could
         differ from those estimates.

         Environmental Cost:
         -------------------

               Substantially all of the  Partnership's  facilities were acquired
         prior  to the  time  that it was  customary  to  conduct  environmental
         investigations in connection with property  acquisitions.  During 1995,
         the Partnership completed  environmental  assessments of its properties
         to evaluate the environmental condition of, and potential environmental
         liabilities of such properties.  These assessments were performed by an
         independent  environmental  consulting  firm. Based on the assessments,
         the  Partnership  expensed  $27,000  in 1995  for  known  environmental
         remediation  requirements.  Although  there  can be no  assurance,  the
         Partnership is not aware of any  environmental  contamination of any of
         its property  sites which  individually  or in the  aggregate  would be
         material to the Partnership's overall business, financial condition, or
         results of operations.

3.       CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

               The  Partnership  Agreement  requires  that  cash  available  for
         distribution  (cash flow from all sources less cash  necessary  for any
         obligations  or  capital  improvement  needs) be  distributed  at least
         quarterly.  Cash  distributions have been suspended since 1991 for debt
         service payments.

4.       PARTNERS' EQUITY

               The general  partners have a 1% interest in the  Partnership.  In
         addition, the general partners had an 8% interest in cash distributions
         attributable to operations (exclusive of distributions  attributable to
         sale and financing  proceeds) until the limited partners  recovered all
         of  their  investment.  Thereafter,  the  general  partners  have a 25%
         interest  in all  cash  distributions  (including  sale  and  financing
         proceeds).  During 1987,  the limited  partnars  recovered all of their
         initial investment.  All subsequent distributions are being made 25.75%
         (including  the 1% interest) to the general  partners and 74.25% to the
         limited partners.  Transfers of equity are made periodically to conform
         the partners'  equity  accounts to the  provisions  of the  Partnership
         Agreement.  These  transfers have no effect on results of operations or
         distributions to partners.

               The financing of the properties (Note 7) provided the Partnership
         with   cash  for  a  special   distribution   without   affecting   the
         Partnership's  taxable income.  Proceeds of  approximately  $24,356,000
         were distributed to the partners in June 1989 resulting in a deficit in
         the limited and general partners' equity accounts.

5.       RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

               The Partnership  has a management  agreement with PSI pursuant to
         which PSI operates the Partnership's mini-warehouses for a fee equal to
         6% of the facilities' monthly gross revenue (as defined). Through 1996,
         the  Partnership's  commercial  property was operated by Public Storage
         Commercial  Properties Group, Inc.  ("PSCPG")  pursuant to a management
         agreement  which  provides  for a fee  equal  to 5% of  the  facility's
         monthly gross revenue (as defined).

               PSI has a 95%  economic  interest in PSCPG and the Hughes  Family
         had a 5%  economic  interest  in PSCPG until  December  1996,  when the
         Hughes  Family sold its  interest to Ronald L.  Havner,  Jr.,  formerly
         Senior Vice  President and Chief  Financial  Officer of PSI, who became
         the Chief Executive  Officer of PSCPG.  PSCPG issued  additional voting
         common stock to two other unaffiliated investors.

               In January 1997, American Office Park Properties, L.P. ("AOPPLP")
         became the operator of the Partnership's  commercial  property pursuant
         to the Management Agreement.  AOPPLP is an operating partnership formed
         to own and operate business parks in which PSI has an approximately 85%
         economic interest. The general partner of AOPPLP is PSCPG, now known as
         American Office Park Properties, Inc.

               In November 1995, the Management Agreement was amended to provide
         that upon demand from PSI or PSMI made prior to December 15, 1995,  the
         Partnership  agreed to prepay  (within 15 days after such demand) up to
         12 months of  management  fees  (based on the  management  fees for the
         comparable  period during the calendar year immediately  preceding such
         prepayment)  discounted at the rate of 14% per year to  compensate  for
         early  payment.  In December 1995,  the  Partnership  prepaid to PSI, 8
         months of 1996  management  fees at a cost of  $229,000.  The amount is
         included in other assets in the Balance Sheet at December 31, 1995. The
         amount has been amortized as management  fees paid to affiliate  during
         1996.

6.       TAXES BASED ON INCOME

               Taxes based on income are the  responsibility  of the  individual
         partners and,  accordingly,  the Partnership's  financial statements do
         not reflect a provision for such taxes.

               Taxable net income was $1,874,000,  $1,427,000 and $1,388,000 for
         the years ended December 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  The
         differences  between  taxable  net income and net income is  primarily
         related  to  depreciation   expense   resulting  from  differences  in
         depreciation methods.

7.       MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE

               On June 8, 1989, the  Partnership  financed all of its properties
         with  a   $26,250,000   ten-year   nonrecourse   note  secured  by  the
         Partnership's  properties.  The note bears interest at 10.75%. The note
         provides  payments of interest and principal of $242,000 per month.  On
         June 1, 1999, the maturity date, a balloon payment for accrued interest
         and any unpaid principal is due.

               The Partnership believes that it is not practical to estimate the
         fair  value of its  long-term  fixed  rate debt at  December  31,  1996
         because there is no public  market for such debt and although  interest
         rates at December 31, 1996, are lower than when such debt was incurred,
         the Partnership does not believe it could obtain financing currently on
         such  favorable  terms.  This is in part due to the reduced  sources of
         real estate  financing  resulting from a variety of factors,  including
         the present condition of financial institutions.

               The principal  repayment  schedule as of December 31, 1996 of the
         note is as follows:

                               1997                 $      476,000
                               1998                        530,000
                               1999                     21,742,000
                                                     -------------
                                                       $22,748,000
                                                     =============

               Interest  paid  on  the  note  was  $2,451,000,   $2,516,000  and
         $2,596,000  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1996,  1995 and 1994,
         respectively.
