ITEM 1   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

For more detailed information about the Registrant's  business, see "Business of
the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented.

(a)      General Development of Business

         The Registrant is a California  Limited  Partnership formed on July 15,
         1993  to  purchase,  own,  operate,  lease,  and  sell  equipment  (the
         Equipment)  used in the  containerized  cargo  shipping  industry.  The
         Registrant  commenced offering units representing  limited  partnership
         interests  (Units) to the public on May 1, 1994 in accordance  with its
         Registration  Statement  and ceased to offer such Units as of April 29,
         1996. The Registrant raised a total of $89,305,000 from the offering.


         See  Item 10  herein  for a  description  of the  Registrant's  General
         Partners.  See  Item 7  herein  for a  description  of  current  market
         conditions affecting the Registrant's business.

(b)      Financial Information About Industry Segments

         Inapplicable.

(c)      Narrative Description of Business

(c)(1)(i)         A  container  leasing  company  generally,  and the Registrant
                  specifically, is an operating  business comparable to a rental
                  car business.  A customer can lease a car from a bank  leasing
                  department  for a monthly  charge  which  represents  the cost
                  of  the  car,  plus  interest,  amortized over the term of the
                  lease; or the customer can rent the same car from a rental car
                  company at a much  higher  daily  lease rate.  The customer is
                  willing to pay the higher  daily  rate for the convenience and
                  value-added  features  provided by the rental car company, the
                  most important of which is the ability  to  pick  up  the  car
                  where it is most  convenient,  use it for the  desired  period
                  of time, and then drop it off at a location convenient  to the
                  customer. Rental car  companies  compete  with one  another on
                  the basis of lease  rates,  availability  of  cars,  and  the 
                  provision of  additional services.  They generate  revenues by
                  maintaining   the   highest  lease  rates   and   the  highest
                  utilization  factors that market conditions will allow, and by
                  augmenting this income with  proceeds from sales of insurance,
                  drop-off  fees, and other special charges.  A large percentage
                  of lease revenues earned by car rental companies are generated
                  under corporate rate agreements  wherein,  for a stated period
                  of time, employees of a  participating  corporation  can  rent
                  cars at specific terms,  conditions and rental rates.   Buying
                  the cars at fleet  prices and selling them  in  the  secondary
                  market are also key elements to the  successful operation of a
                  rental car business.

                  Container  leasing  companies and the Registrant  operate in a
                  similar manner by owning and leasing a worldwide  fleet of new
                  and used transportation  containers to international  shipping
                  companies  hauling various types of goods among numerous trade
                  routes. In addition to paying a daily rental rate, all lessees
                  must either provide physical damage and liability insurance or
                  purchase a damage  waiver from the  Registrant,  in which case
                  the  Registrant  agrees  to pay  the  cost  of  repairing  any
                  physical  damage  to  containers  caused by  lessees,  special
                  handling fees and/or  drop-off  charges may also be charged in
                  certain markets.  Container leasing companies compete with one
                  another on the basis of lease rates, availability of equipment
                  and services  provided.  Revenues and profits are generated by
                  maintaining the highest lease rates and the highest  equipment
                  utilization  factors  allowed  by  market  conditions.  Rental
                  revenues from the  Registrant's  containers  result  primarily
                  under master leases which are comparable to the corporate rate
                  agreements  used by rental car  companies.  The master  leases
                  provide  that  container  leasing  customers,  for a specified
                  period  of  time,  may  rent  containers  at  specific  terms,
                  conditions and rental rates.  Although the terms of the master
                  lease  governing  each  container  do not vary,  the number of
                  containers  in use can vary from time to time  within the term
                  of the master  lease.  The terms and  conditions of the master
                  lease provide that the lessee pays a daily rental rate for the
                  entire time the container is in his possession (whether or not
                  he is actively using it), is responsible  for any damage,  and
                  must  insure the  container  against  liabilities.  For a more
                  detailed   discussion  of  the  leases  for  the  Registrant's
                  Equipment,   see  "Leasing  Policy"  under  "Business  of  the
                  Partnership" in the  Registrant's  Prospectus as supplemented.
                  Rental car companies usually purchase only new cars, but since
                  containers  are completely  standardized,  a used container in
                  serviceable condition usually rents for the same rate as a new
                  one although the purchase price is lower. For this reason, the
                  Registrant  occasionally buys used containers.  The Registrant
                  also  sells  containers  in  the  course  of its  business  if
                  opportunities  arise or at the end of the  container's  useful
                  life. See "Business of the  Partnership"  in the  Registrant's
                  Prospectus, as supplemented.

(c)(1)(v)         Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(vi)        Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(vii)       No single  lessee  had  rental  revenue  for  the  year  ended
                  December 31, 1997 which was 10% or more of  the  total  rental
                  revenue of the Registrant.

(c)(1)(viii)      Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(ix)        Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(x)         There  are   approximately  80  container   leasing  companies
                  of  which  the top ten control approximately  92% of the total
                  equipment held by all container leasing companies. The top two
                  container  leasing  companies  combined control  approximately
                  47% of the total  equipment  held  by  all  container  leasing
                  companies.    Textainer   Equipment   Management  Limited,  an
                  Associate General Partner of the  Registrant  and the  manager
                  of its marine  container  Equipment,   is  the  third  largest
                  container  leasing company and manages approximately 8% of the
                  equipment  held   by  all  container  leasing  companies.  The
                  Registrant  alone  is   not  a  material  participant  in  the
                  worldwide   container   leasing market.  The principal methods
                  of  competition  are  price, availability and the provision of
                  worldwide  service to the  international  shipping  community.
                  Additionally,  shipping   alliances   and   other  operational
                  consolidations among  shipping  lines  have  recently  allowed
                  shipping  lines  to  operate  with  fewer containers,  thereby
                  decreasing the demand  for leased  containers.  This  decrease
                  in demand   along  with  the  entry  of  new  leasing  company
                  competitors  offering low  container  rental rates to shipping
                  lines has  increased  competition among lessors  such  as  the
                  Registrant.

(c)(1)(xi)        Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(xii)       Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(xiii)      The Registrant has no employees. Textainer Capital Corporation
                  (TCC),  the managing  General  Partner of the  Registrant,  is
                  responsible for the overall  management of the business of the
                  Registrant and has 7 employees. Textainer Equipment Management
                  Limited (TEM), an Associate  General  Partner,  is responsible
                  for the management of the leasing operations of the Registrant
                  and has a total of 149 employees.

(d)      Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and  Export
         Sales.

         The  Registrant  is involved in the leasing of shipping  containers  to
         international   shipping   companies   for  use  in  world   trade  and
         approximately  12.23%,  10.63%  and  3.6%  of the  Registrant's  rental
         revenue  during  the years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,
         respectively,   was  derived  from  operations  sourced  or  terminated
         domestically.  These  percentages  do not reflect the proportion of the
         Partnership's  income from operations  generated in domestic waterways.
         Substantially  all of  the  Partnership's  income  from  operations  is
         derived from assets  employed in foreign  operations.  See "Business of
         the  Partnership",  and  for a  discussion  of  the  risks  of  leasing
         containers for use in world trade,  "Risk Factors" in the  Registrant's
         Prospectus, as supplemented.

ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1997, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:

20-foot standard dry freight containers                                   10,231
40-foot standard dry freight containers                                   10,295
40-foot high cube dry freight containers                                   3,762
                                                                        --------
                                                                          24,288
                                                                        ========

During  December 1997,  approximately  88% of these shipping  containers were on
lease to international  shipping  companies and the balance were being stored at
shipping  container  manufacturers'  locations  and at a large number of storage
depots located worldwide.

                  Units.  The Registrant has a program whereby limited  partners
                  may redeem Units for a specified redemption price. The program
                  operates only when the Managing  General  Partner  determines,
                  among other matters,  that the payment for redeemed units will
                  not impair the capital or operations of the Registrant.

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

           (Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts)

The Financial Statements contain information which will assist in evaluating the
financial  condition of the  Partnership  for the years ended December 31, 1997,
1996 and 1995.  Please refer to the  Financial  Statements  and Notes thereto in
connection with the following discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

From  May 1,  1994  until  April  29,  1996,  the  Partnership  offered  limited
partnership  interests  to the  public.  The  Partnership  received  its minimum
subscription  amount of $5,000 on August  23,  1994 and on April 29,  1996,  the
Partnership's 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.  Because any excess cash was used to purchase new
Equipment,  the Partnership did not redeem any Units for the year ended December
31, 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  year  ended  December  31,  1997,  the  Partnership  declared  cash
distributions  to limited  partners  pertaining to the period from December 1996
through November 1997 in the amount of $8,316.  These distributions  represent a
return of 10% on 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  November 1997. On a GAAP
basis,  $4,488 of these  distributions  were a return of capital and the balance
was from net earnings.  On a cash basis $8,178 of these  distributions were from
operations and the balance was from reserves.

During the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, the  Partnership had net cash
provided  by  operating  activities  of $8,178 and  $8,533,  respectively.  This
decrease  of  $355  was  primarily  attributable  to  an  increase  in  accounts
receivable which was primarily due to a deterioration in payment  performance of
one of its lessees,  which leased 9% of the  Partnership's  Equipment  portfolio
during 1997.

Net cash used in investing  activities  (the purchase and sale of Equipment) for
the year ended  December  31, 1997 was $906  compared  with $10,068 for the same
period in 1996.  This  difference is due to the fact that, on a cash basis,  the
Partnership purchased more Equipment in the year ended December 31, 1996 than in
the comparable period in 1997, primarily due to available cash from fund raising
activity  through April of 1996. The  Partnership  sells Equipment at the end of
its estimated  useful life.  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.

At December 31, 1997, the Partnership had no commitments to purchase Equipment.

During 1997 the Partnership  borrowed $318 from a general partner which was used
to  purchase  Equipment.  It is the policy of the  Partnership  and the  General
Partners  to  charge  interest  on  intercompany   balances   arising  from  the
Partnership's  acquisition of Equipment  which are outstanding for more than one
month.  Interest is charged to the  Partnership  at a rate not greater  than the
General  Partners'  own cost of funds.  There was $3 of interest  charged by the
general  partner  during the year ended  December 31, 1997. The interest rate in
effect at December 31, 1997 was 8.5%. The Partnership  anticipates  repaying the
loan in 1998 with cash  provided by  operations  and  proceeds  from the sale of
Equipment.

Results of Operations

The  Partnership's  income from operations,  which consists  primarily of rental
income,  container depreciation,  direct container expenses,  management fees to
affiliates, and reimbursement of administrative expenses was directly related to
the size of the container  fleet  ("inventory")  during the years ended December
31, 1997,  1996 and 1995, 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           1995
                                             ----           ----           ----

   Opening inventory...................     23,952         21,345          8,797
   Closing inventory...................     24,288         23,952         21,345
   Average.............................     24,120         22,649         15,071


The 6% increase in average  inventory  from 1996 to 1997 was due to the purchase
of additional containers with proceeds from the sale of Equipment,  intercompany
borrowings and reserves. The growth in average inventory of 50% between 1995 and
1996, is due to the buildup of the Partnership's  portfolio as the initial gross
proceeds raised were invested in Equipment.

Rental  income  and  direct  container  expenses  are  also  affected  by  lease
utilization percentages for the Equipment which were 85%, 82% and 87% on average
during the years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  In
addition, rental income is affected by daily rental rates.

The  following is a comparative  analysis of the results of  operations  for the
years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

The  Partnership's  income from operations for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996 was $3,853 and $3,826,  respectively,  on rental  income of $14,012 and
$13,588,  respectively. The increase in rental income of $424, an increase of 3%
from the year ended  December  31, 1996 to the  equivalent  period in 1997,  was
primarily  attributable to income from container rentals, the major component of
total revenue,  which  increased by $271, or 2%, from 1996 to 1997.  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  inventory  increased 6%,  average  on-hire
utilization increased by 4% and average daily rental rates decreased 4% from the
year ended December 31, 1996 to the year ended December 31, 1997.

The  Partnership's  income from operations for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995 was $3,826 and $3,944,  respectively,  on rental  income of $13,588 and
$10,467,  respectively. The increase in rental income was primarily attributable
to income from container rentals which increased $3,273, or 35%, which increased
primarily due to the increase in the size of the average container fleet, offset
by lower utilization and lower daily rental rates.  Average inventory  increased
50%  from  the  year  ended  December  31,  1996 to the  same  period  in  1997.
Utilization  decreased 6% and average  daily  rental rates  decreased 4% between
periods.

The declines in container utilization during 1996 and part of 1997 and in rental
rates  during  1996  and 1997  for the  fleet  managed  by  Textainer  Equipment
Management  Limited  (TEM) were  primarily  due to  decreased  demand for leased
containers  and  increased  competition.  The  decrease  in  demand  for  leased
containers  resulted  from  changes in the business of shipping  line  customers
consisting  primarily  of (i)  over-capacity  resulting  from  the 1995 and 1996
additions of new, larger ships to the existing container ship fleet at a rate in
excess of the growth rate in  containerized  cargo  trade;  (ii)  shipping  line
alliances and other operational  consolidations that have allowed shipping lines
to operate with fewer containers;  and (iii) shipping lines reducing their ratio
of leased  versus owned  containers  by purchasing  containers.  This  decreased
demand,  along with the entry of new leasing  company  competitors  offering low
container  rental  rates to shipping  lines,  resulted  in downward  pressure on
rental  rates,  and  also  caused  leasing  companies  to offer  higher  leasing
incentives and other discounts to shipping lines.

Utilization  for the fleet managed by TEM increased  during the second and third
quarters of 1997 and began declining again during the fourth quarter of 1997 and
into the beginning of 1998.  Rental rates for the fleet managed by TEM continued
to decline into the beginning of 1998. For the near term,  the General  Partners
do not foresee any changes in existing  market  conditions and caution that both
utilization and lease rates could continue to decline,  adversely  affecting the
Partnership's operating results.

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

The balance of rental income consists of other  lease-related  items,  primarily
income from charges to the lessees under a damage protection plan (DPP),  income
for handling and returning containers and income from charges to the lessees for
pick-up of containers  from prime  locations less credits granted to lessees for
leasing containers from less desirable locations (location income). For the year
ended  December  31,  1997,  the total of these other  rental  income  items was
$1,138, an increase of $153 from the equivalent period in 1996. The increase was
primarily  due to  increases  in  handling  and  DPP  income  of $114  and  $56,
respectively, partially offset by a decrease in location income of $20. Handling
income  increased  due to an  increase  in  container  movement  and to a higher
average  price charged per  container  during the year ended  December 31, 1997,
compared to 1996.  The increase in DPP income  resulted from the increase in the
number of  lessees  under  DPP,  slightly  offset by a lower  average  DPP price
charged per container during 1997 as compared to 1996. Location income decreased
primarily due to lower demand, which increased credits to lessees for picking up
containers  from less  desirable  locations.  This was offset by an  increase in
average  drop-off  charges per container  which  increased  drop-off  charges to
lessees.

For the year ended  December  31, 1996,  the total of these other rental  income
items was $985,  a  decrease  of $152 from the  equivalent  period in 1995.  The
primary  component  of this net  decrease  was a decrease in location  income of
$375,  partly  offset by an  increase in DPP of $146.  The  decrease in location
income is largely  due to  increased  credits  granted to lessees for picking up
containers from less desirable  locations,  which was offset by the effect of an
increase in average  drop-off  charges  per  container.  The  increase in DPP is
primarily due to the increase in the number of lessees under the plan.

Direct container  expenses  increased $277, or 11%, from the year ended December
31, 1996,  to the same period in 1997.  The primary  components of this increase
were  increases  in  repositioning  and  handling  expenses  of $275  and  $118,
respectively,  offset by a  decrease  in DPP  expense of $136  between  periods.
Repositioning  expense  increased  due  to  a  greater  number  of  units  being
transported from surplus locations to higher demand  locations.  The increase in
handling  expense  resulted  from the greater per unit average cost  incurred in
handling the  containers,  an to an increase in the number of  containers  being
handled during 1997 when compared with 1996. The decrease in DPP expense was due
to a decrease in the average repair cost per container between the two periods.

Direct container expenses increased $1,128, or 79%, from the year ended December
31, 1995,  to the same period in 1996.  The primary  components of this increase
were  increases in storage,  repositioning  and DPP  expenses of $604,  $170 and
$145, respectively, which were primarily due to the increase in fleet size.

Bad debt expense  decreased $12, or 9%, from the year ended December 31, 1996 to
1997 due to lower reserve requirements.  Bad debt expense increased $17, or 15%,
from the year ended  December 31, 1995 to 1996  primarily due to the increase in
fleet size. As a percentage of gross revenue, bad debt expense was consistent at
1% for the years ended 1997, 1996 and 1995.

Depreciation  and  amortization  expenses  increased  $110, or 2%, from the year
ended  December  31, 1996 to 1997  primarily  due to the increase in the average
fleet size.  Depreciation and amortization  expenses  increased  $1,498, or 47%,
from the year  ended  December  31,  1995 to 1996  primarily  as a result of the
increase in fleet size due to the build up of the Fleet.

Management fees to affiliates increased $23, or 2%, from the year ended December
31,  1996 to the  equivalent  period  in 1997 due to an  increase  in  equipment
management  fees,  offset by a slight  decrease in  incentive  management  fees.
Equipment management fees, which are based primarily on gross revenue, increased
as a result of the increase in rental income and were  approximately 7% of gross
revenue  for the  periods.  Incentive  management  fees,  which are based on the
Partnership's limited and general partner distribution  percentage and partners'
capital,  decreased  $8, or 2%  primarily  due to the  decrease  in the  limited
partner distribution rate from 10% to 9% in April 1997.

Management  fees to  affiliates  increased  $406,  or 45%,  from the year  ended
December  31,  1995 to the  equivalent  period  in 1996  due to an  increase  in
equipment and incentive  management fees.  Equipment  management fees, which are
based  primarily  on gross  revenue,  increased  as a result of the  increase in
rental  income  and were  approximately  7% of  gross  revenue  for the  period.
Incentive  management  fees,  which are based on the  Partnership's  limited and
general partner distribution  percentage and partners' capital,  increased $189,
or 114% due to the increase in partners capital.

General and administrative costs to affiliates remained comparable from the year
ended December 31, 1996, to the same period in 1997.  General and administrative
costs to affiliates  increased by $105, or 14%, from the year ended December 31,
1996,  compared to the same period in 1995  primarily  due to an increase in the
overhead costs allocated by TEM.

Other income provided $108 of additional  income for the year ended December 31,
1997,  representing an increase of $100 over the equivalent  period in 1996. The
increase was due to an increase in interest income of $133, offset by a decrease
in gain from sale of Equipment of $33.

Other income  provided $8 of additional  income for the year ended  December 31,
1996,  representing an increase of $836 over the equivalent  period in 1995. The
increase  was due to a $801  decrease in  interest  expense,  accompanied  by an
increase in gain from sale of Equipment of $35.

Net earnings per limited  partnership unit decreased to $0.86 from $0.93 for the
year ended  December 31, 1997,  as compared to the same period in 1996.  Despite
the growth in limited partner net earnings,  which increased from $3,748 for the
year ended December 31, 1996, to $3,828 for the same period in 1997, the average
outstanding  units  increased  at a greater  rate,  resulting  in a decrease  in
earnings on a per unit basis.

Net earnings per limited partnership unit decreased from $1.71 to $0.93 from the
year ended  December 31, 1995,  as compared to the same period in 1996.  Despite
the growth in limited partner net earnings,  which increased from $3,078 for the
year ended December 31, 1995, to $3,748 for the same period in 1996, the average
outstanding  units  increased  at a greater  rate,  resulting  in a decrease  in
earnings on a per unit basis.

Many computer systems may experience difficulty processing dates beyond the year
1999 and, as such, some computer  hardware and software will need to be modified
prior to the year 2000 to  remain  functional.  The  Partnership's  and  General
Partner's  certain core internal systems that have recently been implemented are
year 2000  compliant.  The remaining  core internal  systems are scheduled to be
revised  to be year  2000  compliant  by the end of 1998.  Based on its  initial
evaluation,  the  Partnership  and the General  Partners do not believe that the
cost of remedial  actions relating to these systems will have a material adverse
effect on the  Partnership's  results of  operations  and  financial  condition.
Additionally,  the  Partnership  and the General  Partners are also completing a
preliminary  assessment  of year 2000  issues not  related to its core  systems,
including issues surrounding systems that interface with external third parties.

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,  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 December  31, 1997 which would  result in such a
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 Partnership's business.

                     TEXTAINER EQUIPMENT INCOME FUND V, L.P.
                       (a California limited partnership)

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                  Years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
               (Amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit
                                    amounts)

Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      (a)  Nature of Operations

      Textainer  Equipment  Income Fund V, L.P. (TEIF V or the  Partnership),  a
      California  limited  partnership,  with a maximum  life of 20  years,  was
      formed  on July 15,  1993.  The  Partnership  was  formed to engage in the
      business  of  owning,  leasing  and  selling  both new and used  equipment
      related  to  the  international  containerized  cargo  shipping  industry,
      including,  but not limited to, containers,  marine vessels,  trailers and
      other container  related  equipment (the Equipment).  TEIF V offered units
      representing limited partnership  interests (Units) to the public from May
      1, 1994 until April 29,  1996,  the close of the offering  period,  when a
      total of 4,465,263  Units had been  purchased  for a total of $89,305.  At
      December  31, 1995 and 1994,  3,369,810  and 929,461  limited  partnership
      units had been  purchased  totaling  $67,396  and  $18,589,  respectively.
      Limited partners with capital contributions  representing recorded capital
      of the  Partnership  of $4,738 and $3,614 at  December  31, 1995 and 1994,
      respectively,  were  admitted  as limited  partners on January 1, 1996 and
      1995, respectively. The purchase price of such Units was $20 per Unit.

      Textainer Capital Corporation (TCC) is the managing general partner of the
      Partnership.  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 also act in this
      capacity for other limited  partnerships.  Textainer  Acquisition Services
      Limited  (TAS) is an  affiliate  of the General  Partners  which  performs
      services related 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.
      The General Partners manage and control the affairs of the Partnership.

      (b)  Basis of Accounting

      The Partnership  utilizes the accrual method  of  accounting.  Revenue  is
      recorded when earned according  to  the  terms  of  the  Equipment  rental
      contracts.  These contracts are classified as operating  leases, or direct
      financing  leases  if  they   so  qualify  under  Statement  of  Financial
      Accounting  Standards No. 13:  "Accounting for Leases".  Substantially all
      of the  Partnership's  rental income was generated  from  the  leasing  of
      Equipment under short-term operating leases.

      (c)  Use of Estimates

      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.

      (d)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

      In accordance  with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 107,
      "Disclosures  about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments," the Partnership
      calculates  the fair value of  financial  instruments  and  includes  this
      additional  information in the notes to the financial  statements when the
      fair  value  is  different   than  the  book  value  of  those   financial
      instruments.  At  December  31,  1997  and  1996,  the  fair  value of the
      Partnership's  financial instruments approximate the related book value of
      such instruments.

      (e)  Equipment

      The  Equipment  is  recorded  at the cost of the assets  purchased,  which
      includes acquisition fees, less depreciation charged.  Depreciation of new
      Equipment is computed  using the  straight-line  method over its estimated
      useful  life  of 12  years  to a 28%  salvage  value.  Used  Equipment  is
      depreciated based upon its estimated  remaining useful life at the date of
      acquisition  (from 2 to 11 years).  When assets are  retired or  otherwise
      disposed  of, the cost and related  accumulated  depreciation  are removed
      from the accounts and any  resulting  gain or loss is recognized in income
      for the period.

      In accordance  with Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121,
      "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and Long-Lived Assets
      to be Disposed  of", the  Partnership  periodically  compares the carrying
      value of the  Equipment  to expected  future cash flows for the purpose of
      assessing  the  recoverability  of the recorded  amounts.  If the carrying
      value exceeds  expected future cash flows,  the assets are written down to
      fair  value.  There  were  no  reductions  to the  carrying  value  of the
      Equipment made during 1997, 1996 or 1995.

      (f)  Nature of Income from Operations

      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  that  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  rather than the  geographic  location of the Equipment or the
      domicile of the lessees.

      No single lessee accounted for more than 10% of the Partnership's revenues
      for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997 and  1995.  For the year  ended
      December 31, 1996,  revenue  from one lessee  accounted  for 10.11% of the
      Partnership's revenues. No other single lessee accounted for more than 10%
      of the Partnership's revenues.

      (g)  Allocation of Net Earnings and Partnership Distributions

      In accordance with the Partnership  Agreement,  net earnings or losses and
      distributions  are  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 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   complete
      syndication  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.

      Actual  cash  distributions  to  the  Limited  Partners  differ  from  the
      allocated net earnings as presented in these financial  statements because
      cash  distributions  are based on cash  available for  distribution.  Cash
      distributions  are paid to the general  and limited  partners on a monthly
      basis in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement. Some
      limited partners have elected to have their  distributions paid quarterly.
      The  Partnership has recorded these  distributions  of $114 and $124 as an
      accrued liability at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

      (h)  Income Taxes

      The Partnership is not subject to income taxes. Accordingly,  no provision
      for income taxes has been made.  The  Partnership  files federal and state
      information  returns  only.  Taxable  income or loss is  reportable by the
      individual partners.

      (i)  Organization Costs

      Organization  costs,  which resulted from the formation of the Partnership
      were  capitalized and are being  amortized on a  straight-line  basis over
      five years.

      (j)  Acquisition Fees

      In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, acquisition fees equal to 5%
      of  Equipment  purchase  price are paid to TAS (note  2).  These  fees are
      capitalized as part of the cost of the Equipment.

      (k)  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 December 31, 1997 and 1996, the amounts
      accrued were $89 and $54, respectively.

      (l)  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,  in return,  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. DPP expenses are included in
      direct  container  expenses in the  Statements of Earnings and the related
      reserve at December 31, 1997 and 1996, was $340 and $361, respectively.

      (m)  Limited Partners' Per Unit Share of Net Earnings and Distributions

      Limited  partners'  per unit share of both net earnings and  distributions
      were  computed  using the  weighted  average  number of units  outstanding
      during  the  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995  which  was
      4,454,893, 4,041,267, and 1,796,771, respectively.

      (n)  Redemptions

      The following  redemption  offerings were  consummated by the  Partnership

      There were no redemptions  during 1997.  The redemption  price is fixed by
      formula,  and varies  depending  on the length of time the units have been
      outstanding.

      (o)  Reclassifications

      Certain  reclassifications,  not affecting net earnings, have been made to
      prior years' amounts in order to conform with the 1997 financial statement
      presentation.

Note 2.  Transactions with Affiliates

      During the offering  period,  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  are
      determined   by  the  volume  of  Units  sold  to  each  investor  by  the
      broker/dealers. Additionally, the General Partners and TSC are 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.  These reimbursements,  which totaled $2,553 and $6,407, during
      1996 and 1995,  respectively,  were deducted as  syndication  and offering
      costs in the determination of net limited partnership contributions.

      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. These
      fees  are  for  various   services   provided  in   connection   with  the
      administration and management of the Partnership. The Partnership incurred
      $347,  $355, and $166 of incentive  management fees during the years ended
      December  31,  1997,  1996  and  1995,  respectively,   and  incurred  and
      capitalized $68, $478, and $2,107 of equipment acquisition fees as part of
      Equipment  costs during the same periods.  No equipment  liquidation  fees
      were incurred in 1997, 1996 or 1995.

      The  Equipment  of the  Partnership  is  managed  by TEM.  In its  role as
      manager,  TEM has  authority to acquire,  hold,  manage,  lease,  sell and
      dispose of the  Equipment.  Additionally,  TEM holds,  for the  payment of
      direct operating expenses,  a reserve of cash that has been collected from
      Equipment  leasing  operations;  such cash is included as an offset to the
      amount due to affiliates, net at December 31, 1997, and 1996.

      Subject to certain reductions, TEM receives a monthly equipment management
      fee equal to 7% of gross revenues  attributable to operating leases and 2%
      of gross revenues  attributable  to full payout net leases.  For the years
      ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995,  these fees totaled $981, $950 and
      $733, respectively.  The Equipment is leased by TEM to third party lessees
      on operating master leases,  spot leases,  term leases and full payout net
      leases.  All are  operating  leases  with  limited  terms and no  purchase
      option.

      Certain  indirect  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  incurred  and paid by TCC and TEM.  Total  general  and
      administrative costs allocated to the Partnership were $860, $862 and $757
      for the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively,  of
      which $468, $463 and $363 were for salaries.

      TEM allocates these 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  $761,  $744 and  $640 for the  years  ended
      December 31, 1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  TCC allocated $99, $118
      and $117 of general and administrative costs to the Partnership during the
      same periods.

      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.

      At December 31, 1997 and 1996, due to affiliates, net is comprised of:

                                                            1997            1996

      Included in the  amounts  due to TL at December  31, 1997 is $318 in loans
      used to facilitate Equipment  purchases.  There were no intercompany loans
      between the  Partnership  and  affiliates  during 1996.  All other amounts
      receivable  from and 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 in 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 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'  own cost of
      funds.  The Partnership  incurred  interest  expense of $3 on intercompany
      balances  for the year ended  December  31,  1997.  There was no  interest
      expense incurred on intercompany balances for the years ended December 31,
      1996 or 1995.

Note 3.  Rentals under Operating Leases

      The following are the future  minimum rent  receivables  under  cancelable
      long-term  operating leases at December 31, 1997.  Although the leases are
      generally  cancelable  at  the  end of  each  twelve-month  period  with a
      penalty,  the  following  schedule  assumes  that the  leases  will not be
      terminated.

Note 4.  Note Payable

      The Partnership had a short-term  revolving  credit line with an available
      limit of $15,000 which was used for Equipment purchases. Balances borrowed
      under this  credit  facility  bore  interest at either the Prime Rate plus
      .25% or the London  Interbank  Offered Rate  (LIBOR)  plus 2.00%,  and the
      Partnership  paid a  commitment  fee of 1/2% on the unused  portion of the
      credit  facility.  The  credit  line was paid in full on April 8, 1996 and
      expired on May 31, 1996.

Note 5.  Income Taxes

      During 1997, 1996 and 1995,  there were temporary  differences of $22,904,
      $13,625,  and  $6,127,  respectively,   between  the  financial  statement
      carrying  value of certain assets and  liabilities  and the federal income
      tax basis of such assets and liabilities. The reconciliation of net income
      for  financial  statement  purposes  to net loss for  federal  income  tax
      purposes  for the  years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995 is as

ITEM 9 -  CHANGES  IN AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  ON  ACCOUNTING  AND
          FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

There have been none.

                                    PART III

ITEM 10 - DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

The Registrant has no officers or directors.

As described in the Prospectus, the Registrant's three original general partners
were TCC, TEM and TI which comprised the Textainer Group.  Effective  October 1,
1993, the Textainer Group  streamlined its organization by forming a new holding
company,  Textainer Group Holdings  Limited (TGH),  and the  shareholders of the
underlying  companies which include the General Partners  accepted shares in TGH
in exchange for their shares in the individual  companies.  Textainer  Financial
Services  Corporation  (TFS) is the Managing  General Partner of the Partnership
(prior to its name change on April 4, 1994,  TFS was known as Textainer  Capital
Corporation).  TFS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textainer Capital Corporation
(TCC)  (prior to its name  change on April  4,1994,  TCC was known as  Textainer
(Delaware) Inc.).  Textainer Equipment  Management Limited (TEM) is an Associate
General Partner of the Partnership. Textainer Inc. (TI) was an Associate General
Partner of the  Partnership  through  September 30, 1993 when it was replaced in
that capacity by Textainer Limited (TL), pursuant to a corporate  reorganization
effective October 1, 1993, which caused TFS, TEM and TL to fall under the common
ownership of TGH. (The Managing  General Partner and Associate  General Partners
are  collectively  referred  to as  the  General  Partners).  Pursuant  to  this
restructuring,  TI has transferred substantially all of its assets including all
of its rights and duties as associate  general  partner to TL. This transfer was
effective  from  October  1, 1993.  The end result was that TFS,  TEM and TL now
serve  as  General   Partners  for  the  Registrant  and  are   wholly-owned  or
substantially-owned  subsidiaries of TGH. 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 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.

TFS,  as  the  Managing  General  Partner,   is  responsible  for  managing  the
administration  and operation of the  Registrant,  and for the  formulation  and
administration of investment policies.

TEM, an Associate  General Partner,  manages all aspects of the operation of the
Registrant's Equipment.

TL, an Associate  General  Partner,  owns a fleet of container  rental Equipment
which is  managed  by TEM.  TL  provides  advice  to the  Partnership  regarding
negotiations  with financial  institutions,  manufacturers and Equipment owners,
and regarding the terms upon which particular items of Equipment are acquired.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

      Section  16(a)  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act  of  1934  requires  the
      Partnership's  General Partners,  policy-making  officials and persons who
      beneficially  own more than ten  percent  of the Units to file  reports of
      ownership  and  changes in  ownership  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
      Commission.  Copies  of  these  reports  must  also  be  furnished  to the
      Partnership.

      Based  solely on a review of the  copies of such  forms  furnished  to the
      Partnership or on written  representations  that no forms were required to

         Included in the amounts due to TL at December 31, 1997 is $318 in loans
         used to facilitate  Equipment  purchases.  All other amounts receivable
         from and 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 or
         in the accrual and remittance of net rental revenues from TEM.

         It is the policy of the Partnership and the General  Partners to charge
         interest on intercompany  balances 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'
         own cost of funds. The Partnership  incurred  interest expense of $3 on
         intercompany  balances for the year ended December 31, 1997.  There was
         no interest  expense  incurred on  intercompany  balances for the years
         ended December 31, 1996 or 1995.


         In addition,  the Registrant paid or will pay the following  amounts to
         the General Partners,  TAS or TSC. TSC was the managing sales agent for
         the  offering of Units for sale and is a licensed  broker and dealer in
