                     TEXTAINER EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND V, L.P.
                       (A California Limited Partnership)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1997
            (Dollar amounts in thousands except for per unit amounts)
                                   (unaudited)

Note 1.  General

        Textainer Equipment Income Fund V, L.P.(the Partnership) is a California
        Limited  Partnership  formed in 1993. The Partnership  owns and leases a
        fleet  of  intermodal   marine  cargo   containers  (the  Equipment)  to
        international shipping lines.

        The accompanying interim comparative  financial statements have not been
        audited by an independent  public accountant.  However,  all adjustments
        (which were only normal and  recurring  adjustments),  which are, in the
        opinion  of  management,  necessary  to  fairly  present  the  financial
        position of the  Partnership  as of September  30, 1997 and December 31,
        1996, and the results of its operations,  changes in partners'  capital,
        and cash flows for the nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1997 and
        1996, have been made.

        The financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction
        with  the  audited  financial  statements  and  the  accompanying  Notes
        included  in  the  Partnership's  audited  financial  statements  as  of
        December 31, 1996.

        Certain  estimates  and  assumptions  were  made  by  the  Partnership's
        management  that affect the reported  amounts of assets and  liabilities
        and disclosures of contingent  assets and liabilities at the date of the
        financial  statements  and the reported  amounts of revenue and expenses
        during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results  could differ from those
        estimates.

        Certain  reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made in order
        to conform with the 1997 financial statement presentation.

Note 2.  Recovery Costs

        The Partnership  accrues an estimate for  recovery  costs as a result of
        defaults under its leases that it expects to incur,  which are in excess
        of estimated insurance proceeds.  At September 30, 1997 and December 31,
        1996, the amounts accrued were $44 and $54, respectively.

Note 3.   Damage Protection Plan

        The Partnership offers a Damage  Protection Plan (DPP) to lessees of its
        Equipment.  Under the terms of DPP,  the  Partnership  earns  additional
        revenues on a daily basis and, as a result,  has agreed to bear  certain
        repair costs. It is the Partnership's  policy to recognize revenues when
        earned  and  provide a  reserve  sufficient  to cover the  Partnership's
        obligation for estimated  future repair costs. At September 30, 1997 and
        December   31,   1996,   this  reserve  was  equal  to  $330  and  $361,
        respectively.

Note 4.  Acquisition of Equipment

        During the  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,  the
        Partnership  purchased  Equipment  with  a  cost  of  $968  and  $9,363,
        respectively.

Note 5.  Transactions with Affiliates

        Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC) is the managing general partner, and
        Textainer Equipment  Management Limited (TEM) and Textainer Limited (TL)
        are the  associate  general  partners of the  Partnership.  The managing
        general partner and associate general partners are collectively referred
        to as the General Partners.  The General Partners manage and control the
        affairs  of the  Partnership.  The  General  Partners  also  act in this
        capacity for other limited partnerships.  Textainer Acquisition Services
        Limited  (TAS) is an affiliate of the General  Partners  which  performs
        services  relative to the  acquisition  of Equipment  outside the United
        States  on  behalf  of  the  Partnership.  TCC,  TEM,  TL  and  TAS  are
        subsidiaries of Textainer Group Holdings  Limited (TGH).  TCC Securities
        Corporation  (TSC),  a licensed  broker and dealer in securities  and an
        affiliate of the General Partners,  was the Managing Sales agent for the
        offering of Units for sale.

        In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, and subject to the special
        allocations  described therein, net earnings or losses and distributions
        are  generally  allocated  1% to the  general  partners  and  99% to the
        limited  partners.  Gross income is  specially  allocated to the General
        Partners to the extent that their partners' capital  accounts'  deficits
        exceed the portion of syndication  and offering costs allocated to them.
        Notwithstanding  the above,  the special  allocation of gross income and
        restoration of deficit general partner capital  accounts was deferred by
        Partnership  Agreement  amendment until the partnership's  completed its
        offering of limited  partnership  units which  occurred  during the year
        ended December 31, 1996. On termination of the Partnership,  the General
        Partners shall be allocated  gross income equal to their  allocations of
        syndication and offering costs.

        As part of the operation of the  Partnership,  the Partnership is to pay
        to the  General  Partners,  or TAS,  an  incentive  management  fee,  an
        acquisition   fee,  an  equipment   management   fee  and  an  equipment
        liquidation  fee, as well as reimburse the General  Partners for certain
        administrative  costs.  These fees are for various services  provided in
        connection with the  administration  and management of the  Partnership.
        The Partnership  capitalized $29 and $494 of equipment  acquisition fees
        as part of Equipment costs during the nine-month periods ended September
        30, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The Partnership had incurred $263 and
        $85 of  incentive  management  fees  during  the nine-  and  three-month
        periods  ended  September  30, 1997 and $261 and $94 for the  comparable
        periods in 1996. No equipment  liquidation  fees were incurred in either
        period.

        The  Partnership's  Equipment  is managed by TEM.  TEM has  authority to
        acquire,  hold,  manage,  lease,  sell and dispose of the  Partnership's
        Equipment.  Additionally, TEM holds, for the payment of direct operating
        expenses,  a reserve  of cash  that has been  collected  from  container
        leasing  operations;  such  cash  is  included  in  the  amount  due  to
        affiliates at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996.

        Subject  to  certain   reductions,   TEM  receives  a  monthly equipment
        management  fee  equal to 7% of gross  lease  revenues  attributable  to
        operating  leases and 2% of gross lease  revenues  attributable  to full
        payout net leases.  These fees  totaled  $718 and $251 for the nine- and
        three-month  periods ended  September 30, 1997 and $702 and $234 for the
        comparable periods in 1996. The Partnership's Equipment is leased by TEM
        to third-party  lessees on operating master leases, spot leases and term
        leases.  The majority  are  operating  leases with limited  terms and no
        purchase option.

        Certain general  and  administrative  costs such as  salaries,  employee
        benefits, taxes and insurance, are incurred in performing administrative
        services necessary to the operation of the Partnership.  These costs are
        borne by TCC and TEM. Total general and administrative  costs  allocated
        to  the  Partnership  were  $653 and  $193 for the nine- and three-month
        periods ended September 30, 1997 of which $359 and  $112,  respectively,
        were for salaries. For the nine- and three-month periods ended September
        30, 1996, total  general  and  administrative  costs  allocated  to  the
        Partnership were  $673 and  $205, of which  $343 and  $120, respectively
        were for salaries.

        TEM allocates the general and administrative costs based on the ratio of
        the  Partnership's  interest  in the  managed  Equipment  to  the  total
        Equipment  managed by TEM during the period.  TCC allocates  these costs
        based on the ratio of the Partnership's Equipment to the total Equipment
        of all limited  partnerships  managed by TCC. General and administrative
        costs allocated to the Partnership by TEM were $573, $175, $586 and $179
        for the nine- and three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
        respectively.  TCC  allocated  $80,  $18,  $87  and $26 of  general  and
        administrative costs to the Partnership during the nine- and three-month
        periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

        The General Partners or TAS may acquire  Equipment in their own name and
        hold title on a  temporary  basis for the  purpose of  facilitating  the
        acquisition  of such  Equipment for the  Partnership.  The Equipment may
        then be resold to the  Partnership on an all-cash basis at a price equal
        to the actual cost as defined in the Partnership Agreement. In addition,
        the General  Partners or TAS are entitled to an acquisition  fee for any
        Equipment resold to the Partnership.

        The Partnership paid a managing sales agent fee to TSC of up  to  9%  of
        the gross proceeds from the sale  of  limited  partnership  units,  from
        which TSC paid commissions to independent  participating  broker/dealers
        who participated in the offering. The amount of the managing sales agent
        fee and the broker/dealers' commissions were determined by the volume of
        Units sold to each  investor by the  broker/dealers.  Additionally,  the
        General  Partners  and  TSC  were  entitled  to  be  reimbursed  by  the
        Partnership for certain  organizational and offering costs,  incurred in
        connection with the organization of the Partnership,  up to a maximum of
        6% of gross proceeds raised as allowed by the Partnership Agreement.

        At  September  30, 1997 and December 31,  1996,  due to  affiliates  are
        comprised of:

                                                           1997            1996
                                                           ----            ----

                                                          $ 316            $154
                                                          =====            ====

        These amounts payable to affiliates were incurred in the ordinary course
        of business  between the  Partnership  and its  affiliates and represent
        timing  differences  in the accrual  and  payment of  expenses  and fees
        described  above or the accrual and remittance of net rental revenues by
        TEM.

        It is the policy of the Partnership  and the General  Partners to charge
        interest on  intercompany  balances which are  outstanding for more than
        one month,  to the extent such  balances  relate to loans for  Equipment
        purchases.  Interest is charged at a rate not  greater  than the General
        Partners'  or  affiliates'  own cost of  funds.  There  was no  interest
        charged on intercompany  balances for the nine- and three-month  periods
        ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

Note 6.  Rentals under Operating Leases

        The following is a schedule by year of minimum future rentals receivable

Note 7.  Revolving Credit Line

        On October 12, 1993, the Partnership had a revolving credit line with an
        available  limit of $15,000 which was used for Equipment  purchases.  On
        April 8, 1996 the credit line was paid in full and it expired on May 31,
        1996.

Note 8.   Redemptions

        No redemption  offerings were consummated  during the nine-month  period
        ended  September  30,  1997.  The total number of units  redeemed  since
        inception of the redemption  program is 8,451,  at a total cost of $152,
        representing  an  average  redemption  price of  $17.97  per  unit.  The
        redemption  price is fixed by formula and varies depending on the length
        of time the units are outstanding.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

            (Dollar amounts in thousands except for per unit amounts)


The Financial Statements contain information which will assist in evaluating the
financial  condition of the Partnership  for the nine- and  three-month  periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Please refer to the Financial  Statements and
Notes thereto in connection with the following discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Partnership  began its  offering of limited  partnership  interests  to the
public on May 1, 1994.  On April 29, 1996 the  offering  of limited  partnership
interests was closed at $89,305.

From time to time,  the  Partnership  redeems units from limited  partners for a
specified  redemption  value.  The redemption price is set by formula and varies
depending  on  length  of  time  the  units  are  outstanding.  Up to 2% of  the
Partnership's outstanding units may be redeemed each year, although the 2% limit
may be exceeded at the Managing General  Partner's  discretion.  All redemptions
are subject to the Managing  General  Partner's  good faith  determination  that
payment for the redeemed units will not (i) cause the Partnership to be taxed as
a  corporation,  (ii) impair the capital or  operations of the  Partnership,  or
(iii) impair the ability of the Partnership to pay  distributions  in accordance
with its  distribution  policy.  The Partnership did not redeem units during the
nine-months ended September 30, 1997.

The Partnership  invests working capital and cash flow from operations  prior to
its  distribution  to  the  partners  in  short-term,  liquid  investments.  The
Partnership's  cash is  affected  by  cash  provided  by or  used in  operating,
investing and financing  activities.  These  activities  are discussed in detail
below.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership  declared
cash  distributions to limited  partners  pertaining to the period from December
1996 through August 1997 in the amount of $6,311. These distributions  represent
a return of 10% of original  capital  (measured on an annualized  basis) on each
unit for December 1996 through March 1997 and 9% of original  capital  (measured
on an  annualized  basis) on each unit for April 1997 through  August 1997. On a
GAAP  basis,  $3,730 of these  distributions  were a return of  capital  and the
balance was from net  earnings.  On a cash basis  $6,268 of these  distributions
were from operations and the balance was from reserves.

For the nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996, the  Partnership
had  net  cash   provided  by  operating   activities   of  $6,268  and  $6,095,
respectively.  This  increase in net cash  provided by operating  activities  of
$173, or 3%, was primarily  attributable to the increase in due to affiliates of
$187, offset by an increase in accounts  receivable of $379. The increase in due
to  affiliates  was due to timing  differences  in the  accrual  and  payment of
expenses  and  fees or in the  accrual  and  remittance  of net  rental  income.
Accounts  receivable  from  operations  increased  due to an  increase in rental
income and due to an increase in the average  collection  period from 81 days as
of September 30, 1996 to 92 days as of September 30, 1997.

Net  cash  used in  investing  activities  (the  purchase  and  sale  of  rental
equipment) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 was $196, compared
to $10,404 for the comparable period in 1996. This difference  reflects that, on
a cash basis, the Partnership  purchased more Equipment in the nine-month period
ended September 30, 1996 than in the comparable period in 1997, primarily due to
cash available from on-going fund raising  activity during January through April
of 1996.  Consistent  with its investment  objectives and the General  Partners'
determination  that Equipment can be profitably  sold or bought at any time, the
Partnership  intends to reinvest all or a  significant  amount of proceeds  from
future  Equipment  sales  in  additional  Equipment.  Such  additional  units of
Equipment purchased may not, however, equal the number of units sold.


Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  operations,   which  consist  of  rental  income,  container
depreciation,  direct  container  expenses,  management fees to affiliates,  and
reimbursement  of  administrative  expenses were directly related to the size of
the container fleet ("inventory")  during the nine-month periods ended September
30, 1997 and 1996,  as well as certain  other  factors as discussed  below.  The
following is a summary of the size of the container  fleet (in units)  available
for lease during those periods:

                                                         1997           1996
                                                         ----           ----

               Opening inventory...................     23,952         21,345
               Closing inventory...................     24,244         23,913
               Average.............................     24,098         22,629


The 6% increase in the average container fleet was primarily due to the purchase
of new marine containers with proceeds from the sale of used Equipment,  between
the nine month  period ended  September  30, 1996 and the  comparable  period in
1997.

Rental  income and direct  container  expenses  are also  affected  by the lease
utilization percentages and daily rental rates for the Equipment.  Average lease
utilization  percentages for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
1996 remained  fairly constant at 83% and 82%  respectively,  while daily rental
rates declined.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The  Partnership's  income  from  operations  for the  nine-month  period  ended
September  30, 1997 was $2,562 on gross  rental  income of $10,293,  compared to
$2,790 on gross  rental  income for  $10,030  for the same  period in 1996.  The
largest component of total rental income is income from container rentals, which
was $9,528 and $9,381 for the  nine-month  periods ended  September 30, 1997 and
1996,  respectively.  Income from  container  rentals is largely  dependent upon
three  factors:  equipment  available  for lease  (average  inventory),  average
on-hire  (utilization)  percentage and average daily rental rates. Average fleet
size increased 6%, average  on-hire  utilization  remained  constant and average
daily rental rates decreased 4%. These results have,  however,  been affected by
market conditions as discussed below.

Container  utilization  began to decline in late 1995 and that decline persisted
throughout 1996 and into the first quarter of 1997. The General Partners believe
that this  decrease  in demand  for leased  containers  is the result of adverse
changes in the business of its shipping line  customers.  These changes  consist
principally  of: (i) a general  slowdown  in the  growth of world  containerized
cargo  trade,  particularly  in the  Asia-North  America and  Asia-Europe  trade
routes;  (ii)  over-capacity  resulting from the 1996 and 1997 additions of new,
larger  ships to the  existing  container  ship fleet at a rate in excess of the
growth rate in containerized  cargo trade; and (iii) shipping line alliances and
other  operational  consolidations  that have allowed  shipping lines to operate
with fewer containers,  thereby decreasing the demand for leased containers. The
container  ship  over-capacity  in  particular  led  to  lower  shipping  rates,
resulting in shipping lines' need to reduce operating costs. The drive to reduce
costs,  coupled  with  the  availability  of  inexpensive  financing  and  lower
container prices,  encouraged  shipping lines to purchase,  rather than lease, a
greater  number of new containers in 1996 than in previous  years.  All of these
factors  have led to downward  pressure on container  lease rates,  a decline in
utilization  of leased  containers,  and an increase in leasing  incentives  and
other  discounts being granted to shipping lines by container  lessors,  further
eroding Partnership  profitability.  The decline in demand for leased containers
has been accompanied by a drop in the purchase price of new containers.

During the second and third quarters  there was an  improvement in  utilization,
however lease rates  declined and leasing  incentives  remained high due to high
levels of off-lease  inventory in low demand locations.  The General Partners do
not foresee material changes in current market  conditions and caution that both
utilization and lease rates could decline further,  and leasing incentives could
remain high, adversely affecting the Partnership's results.

Substantially  all of the  Partnership's  rental income was  generated  from the
leasing of the Equipment under short-term operating leases.

The balance of rental income consists of other  lease-related  items,  primarily
income for handling and returning containers, income from charges to lessees for
a damage  protection  plan  (DPP),  and income  from  charges to the lessees for
pick-up of containers from high demand locations less credits granted to lessees
for  leasing  containers  from  surplus  locations  (location  income).  For the
nine-month  period ended  September  30, 1997,  the total of these other revenue
items was $765, an increase of $116 compared to the  equivalent  period in 1996.
The primary  components  of this  increase  were  increases  in handling and DPP
income of $121 and $60, respectively, offset by a decrease in location income of
$68.  The  increase  in  handling  income  is due to an  increase  in  container
movement,  the  increase  in the average  container  fleet,  and higher  average
handling  charges to lessees.  The increase in DPP is due to the increase in the
number of lessees under the plan offset by lower average charges to lessees. The
decline in location income is due to lower demand, which required an increase in
credits given to lessees for picking up units from surplus locations.

Direct  container  expenses,  excluding bad debt expense,  increased by $345, or
18%,  from the  nine-month  period ended  September  30, 1996 to the  equivalent
period in 1997.  The primary  components  of this  increase  were  increases  in
storage and repositioning expenses of $167 and $234,  respectively,  offset by a
decrease in DPP expense of $121 between periods. The increase in storage expense
was primarily due to the increase in average fleet size.  Repositioning  expense
increased  due to a  greater  number of units  being  transported  from  surplus
locations to higher demand  locations.  The decrease in DPP expense was due to a
decrease in the average repair cost per container between the two periods.

Bad debt expense increased from $94 in the nine-month period ended September 30,
1996 to $116 in the same  period  in 1997.  The  increase  is  primarily  due to
increased  reserve  requirements  in the nine month period ending  September 30,
1997 compared to the same period in 1996, resulting from the increase in average
fleet size.

Depreciation  expense  increased by $91, or 3%, from the nine-month period ended
September  30,  1996 to the same  period  in 1997,  due to the  increase  in the
Partnership's average fleet size between the periods.

Management  fees to  affiliates  increased  by $18, or 2%,  from the  nine-month
period ended September 30, 1996 to the equivalent period in 1997,  primarily due
to an increase in Equipment  management  fees which are based primarily on gross
revenue.  These  increased as a result of the increase in rental income and were
approximately  7% for both periods.  Incentive  management fees were comparable,
from the nine-month  period ended  September 30, 1996 the  equivalent  period in
1997, at $261 and $263, respectively.

General and administrative costs to affiliates decreased by 3%, or $20, from the
nine-month  period ended September 30, 1996 to the same period in 1997, due to a
decrease in overhead costs allocable from TEM and TCC during these periods.

Other income  (expense) was $86 for the  nine-month  period ended  September 30,
1997,  representing an increase of $147 over the equivalent  period in 1996. The
increase was primarily attributable to a $158 decline in interest expense, which
was due to the repayment of the Partnership's credit facility in April, 1996.

Net  earnings  per  limited  partnership  unit  decreased  from  $0.68  for  the
nine-month  period ended  September 30, 1996 to $0.58 for the nine-month  period
ended  September 30, 1997 reflecting the decrease in net earnings from $2,666 to
$2,581,  respectively,  and the  increase  in the  average  outstanding  limited
partnership units.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

The  Partnership's  income from  operations  for the  three-month  periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 was $1,067 and $851, respectively,  on rental income
of $3,591  and  $3,343,  respectively.  Rental  income,  including  income  from
container rentals,  increased by $248, or 7%, between periods.  The increase was
primarily due to a 7% increase in average on-hire utilization, and was offset by
a decrease in average daily rental rates of 3% from the three-month period ended
September 30, 1996 to the comparable period in 1997.

The balance of other revenue items  comprising total revenue for the three-month
period  ending  September  30, 1997 was $273, an increase of $77 compared to the
equivalent  period in 1996.  Other rental  revenue  increased  primarily  due to
increases in handling and DPP income of $38 and $22,  respectively.  An increase
in container  movement  compounded  with a higher  average  handling  charges to
lessees,  resulted in increased  handling income. DPP income increased due to an
increase in the number of lessees under DPP,  offset by lower average charges to
lessees.

Direct  container  expenses  increased $58, or 8%, from the  three-month  period
ended  September 30, 1996 to the same period in 1997.  The primary  component of
this  increase  was an increase in  repositioning  expense of $113,  offset by a
decrease in storage expenses of $55. The increase in  repositioning  expense was
due to an increase in the number of units  transported from surplus locations to
higher  demand  locations.  Storage  costs  decreased  primarily  due to  higher
utilization rates in the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to
the same period in 1996.

Bad debt expense decreased by $33 for the three-month period ended September 30,
1997 from the same period in 1996, primarily due to lower reserve requirements.

Depreciation  expense increased by $14, or 1%, for the three-month  period ended
September 30, 1997 from the same period 1996,  reflecting  the increase in fleet
size.

Management  fees to  affiliates  increased  by $8, or 2%,  from the  three-month
period ended  September  30, 1996 to the  equivalent  period in 1997,  due to an
increase  in  Equipment  management  fees  offset  by a  decrease  in  incentive
management  fees.  Equipment  management fees increased due to increased  rental
revenue.  The decrease in the incentive  management fee was primarily due to the
decrease  in the limited  partners'  distribution  percentage,  from 10% for the
three-month  period ended September 30, 1996 to 9% for the equivalent  period in
1997.

General and administrative  costs to affiliates decreased by $12, or 6%, between
the three-month  periods ending September 30, 1997 and 1996 due to a decrease in
overhead costs allocable from TEM and TCC during these periods.

Other  income was $16 for the  three-month  period  ended  September  30,  1997,
representing a decrease of $22 from the equivalent  period in 1996. The decrease
was  attributable  to a $15 decrease in interest income and a $7 decline in gain
on sale of equipment.

Net earnings per limited partnership unit increased from $0.19 to $0.24 from the
three-month  period  ended  September  30,  1996 to the  same  period  in  1997,
reflecting  the increase in net earnings from $865 to $1,062 for the  respective
periods.

Although  substantially  all of the  Partnership's  income  from  operations  is
derived from assets employed in foreign operations, virtually all of this income
is  denominated  in United  States  dollars.  The  Partnership's  customers  are
international  shipping  lines  which  transport  goods on  international  trade
routes.  The  domicile  of the lessee is not  indicative  of where the lessee is
transporting  the  Equipment.  The  Partnership's  business  risk in its foreign
operations lies with the  creditworthiness of the lessees, and the Partnership's
ability to keep the Equipment under lease at profitable  rates,  rather than the
geographic  location  of the  Equipment  or the  domicile  of the  lessees.  The
Equipment is generally  operated on the  international  high seas rather than on
domestic  waterways.  The  Equipment  is  subject  to the  risk of war or  other
political,  economic or social occurrence where the Equipment is used, which may
result in the loss of Equipment,  which,  in turn, may have a material impact on
the  Partnership's  results of operations and financial  condition.  The General
Partners are not aware of any  conditions  as of September  30, 1997 which would
result in such risk materializing.

Other risks of the Partnership's  leasing  operations include  competition,  the
cost of  repositioning  Equipment  after  it  comes  off-lease,  the  risk of an
uninsured  loss,  increases in maintenance  expenses or other costs of operating
the  Equipment,  and the effect of world trade,  industry  trends and/or general
business and economic cycles on the Partnership's operations. See "Risk Factors"
in the Partnership's Prospectus, as supplemented,  for additional information on
risks of the Partnership's business.
