the Partnership" in the Registrant's Prospectus as supplemented.

(a) General Development of Business
(Dollar amounts in thousands)

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. As of December 31, 1996, the Registrant had raised a total of
$89,305 from the offering, and the use of those proceeds is summarized
as follows:

(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 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 Partnership'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. 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)(iii) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(vi) Inapplicable.

(c)(1)(vii) One lessee had rental billing for the year ended December
31, 1996 of 10.11% of the total rental billing of the
Registrant. No other single lessee had rental billing for the
year ended December 31, 1996 which was 10% or more of the
total rental billing of the Registrant. The Partnership
has insurance that would cover loss of revenue as a result of
default under all the leases and for the recovery cost or
replacement value of all containers including those of this
lessee. The insurance covers loss of lease revenues for a
specified period of time, and not necessarily for the term
of the lease. The insurance is renewable annually, and the
General Partners believe that it is probable that the
Partnership would be able to recover insurance proceeds in
the event of a loss. Because of this insurance and because
the Partnership would likely be able over a period of time,
to re-lease any Equipment that was returned to the
Partnership, the General Partners believe that the loss
of this lessee would not have a material adverse impact
on the Partnership's operating results. Because these are
forward looking statements, there can be no assurance that
events will occur as the General Partners have predicted and
these statements could be affected by material adverse events
in the future, such as the Partnership's loss of insurance
or the Partnership's inability to re-lease Equipment that
is returned to the Partnership by the lessee.

(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 93% of the total
equipment held by all container leasing companies. The top
two container leasing companies control approximately 28%
each 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 controls approximately 9% 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 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. Competition among lessors such as the
Registrant has, therefore, increased.

(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 26 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 138 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 10.63%, 3.6% and 3.7% of the Registrant's rental revenue
during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
was derived from operations sourced or terminated domestically. This
percentage does 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 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, 1996, the Registrant owned the following types and quantities
of equipment:




20-foot standard dry freight containers......................................... 10,007
40-foot standard dry freight containers......................................... 10,327
40-foot high cube dry freight containers........................................ 3,618

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

(Dollar 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, 1996,
1995 and 1994. Please refer to the Financial Statements and Notes thereto in
connection with the following discussion.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership offered limited partnership interests to the public from May 1,
1994 through April 29, 1996. The Partnership received its minimum subscription
amount of $5,000 on August 23, 1994. The cumulative proceeds of the offering at
the end of each subsequent quarter was as follows (exclusive of the initial
Units purchased by the Partnership's initial limited partner):



June 30, 1994................... $ 1,819
September 30, 1994.............. 9,661
December 31, 1994............... 18,589
March 31, 1995.................. 29,442
June 30, 1995................... 41,218
September 30, 1995.............. 53,460
December 31, 1995............... 67,396
March 31, 1996.................. 83,240


As of April 29, 1996 the Partnership had received a total subscription amount of
$89,305.

The Partnership has set up a program whereby limited partners may redeem units
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 redeemed 8,451 units for a total
dollar amount of $152 during the year ended December 31, 1996, representing an
average redemption price of $17.97 per unit. The Partnership has used cash flow
from operations to pay for the redeemed units.

The Partnership invests working capital and cash flow from operations prior to
its distribution to the Partners or reinvestment in additional Equipment in
short-term, liquid investments. It is the policy of the Partnership to maintain
minimum working capital reserves in an amount which is the lesser of (i) 1% of
capital contributions, or (ii) $100. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's
cash of $943 was invested in money market accounts.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership declared cash
distributions to limited partners pertaining to the period from December 1995
through November 1996 in the amount of $8,168. These distributions represent 10%
of original capital (measured on an annualized basis) on each unit. On a cash
basis, all of these distributions were from operations. On a GAAP basis, $4,420
of these distributions were a return of capital and the balance was from net
earnings. Beginning with the cash distribution to limited partners for the month
of April 1997, payable May 1997, the Partnership will make distributions at an
annualized rate of 9% on each Unit. This reduction in the Partnership's
distribution rate is a result of a decline in demand for leasing of the
Partnership's container rental fleet, which is discussed in detail below.

The Partnership made its first equipment purchases on an all cash basis during
September 1993 and completed the purchase of its inital portfolio of container
equipment in February 1996. The net cumulative cost of Equipment at the end of
each quarter after commencement of operations is as follows:




September 30, 1993............ $ 6,699
December 31, 1993............. 8,147
March 31, 1994................ 13,490
June 30, 1994................. 18,547
September 30, 1994............ 26,525
December 31, 1994............. 25,520
March 31, 1995................ 32,460
June 30, 1995................. 54,101
September 30, 1995............ 65,612
December 31, 1995............. 70,414
March 31, 1996................ 75,302
June 30, 1996................. 79,582
September 30, 1996............ 79,542
December 31, 1996............. 79,103


The Partnership had a short-term revolving credit line with an available limit
of $15,000 which was used for Equipment purchases. The credit line was paid in
full on April 8, 1996, and expired on May 31, 1996.

For the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership had net cash provided by
operating activities of $8,533 compared with net cash provided by operating
activities of $4,870 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase was
primarily attributable to increases in net earnings, non-cash depreciation
expense and improved accounts receivable collections. Net earnings increased by
23% in 1996 from 1995 primarily due to an increase in rental revenues and a
decrease in interest expense offset by an increase in direct container expenses.
Rental revenues and depreciation expense increased by 35% and 47%, respectively
between periods primarily due to an increase in the Equipment fleet.

Certain factors have adversely affected and may continue to adversely affect the
Partnership's operations. Shipping lines, which are the Partnership's principal
lessees, continue to experience over-capacity which is directly related to: (i)
the delivery of new and much larger ships and, (ii) a general slow-down in the
growth of world containerized cargo trade. This over-capacity has 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: (i) a downward pressure on container lease rates;
(ii) an increase in leasing incentives and other discounts being granted to
shipping lines by container lessors; and (iii) a decline in utilization of
leased containers. Declining container utilization is discussed more fully below
under "Results of Operations".

Net cash used in investing activities (the purchase and sale of rental
equipment) for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $10,068 compared with
$40,939 for the same period in 1995. The Partnership purchased more Equipment in
the year ended December 31, 1995 than in the comparable period in 1996, due to
raising less funds from its public offering, which came to a close in April of
1996, as well as utilizing available cash for the repayment of the credit
facility. Net cash used in investing activities for the period ended December
31, 1995, included the return of restricted funds previously held as collateral
for the revolving credit facility. 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.

Results of Operations

Because the Partnership was in the process of acquiring and placing in service
its initial portfolio of Equipment during the year ended December 31, 1996 and
offering units of limited partnership interest to the public during the period
from May 1, 1994 to April 29, 1996, the results of its operations for the years
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 are not completely comparable. The Partnership
generated net earnings of $3,834, $3,116, and $367 for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These financial results include non-cash
depreciation expenses of $4,663, $3,165 and $1,178 for the respective periods.

The Partnership's income from operations, which consists of rental income,
container depreciation, direct container expenses, management fees, and
reimbursement of administrative expenses were directly related to the size of
the container fleet ("inventory") during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994. The following is a summary of the container fleet (in units) available
for lease during those periods:



1996 1995 1994
---- ---- ----


Opening inventory................... 21,345 8,797 2,660
Closing inventory................... 23,952 21,345 8,797
Average............................. 22,649 15,071 5,729



The growth in average container fleet between 1995 and 1996, and 1994 and 1995,
is due to the buildup of the Partnership's portfolio as the initial gross
proceeds raised were invested in Equipment.

Rental income and direct operating expenses are also affected by the lease
utilization percentages for the Equipment which were 82%, 87% and 80%, on
average, during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, 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, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

The Partnership's income from operations was $3,826 and $3,944 for the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Income from operations decreased
from the year ended December 31, 1996 to the same period in 1995 due to lower
utilization and daily rental rates. Rental income for the same periods was
$13,588 and $10,467. Income from container rentals is largely dependent upon
three factors: equipment available for lease (average inventory), average
on-hire (utilization) percentages, and average daily rental rates. The increase
in rental revenue was directly related to the increase in the size of the
equipment fleet but was offset by by lower utilization and lower daily rental
rates. Average inventory increased by 50% from December 31, 1995 to the same
period in 1996. Utilization decreased by 6% and average daily rental rates
decreased by 4% between periods.

The Partnership's income from operations was $3,944 and $1,255 for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Rental income for the same
periods was $10,467 and $3,783. These increases were directly related to the
size of the container fleet. Average inventory increased by 163% from December
31, 1994 to the same period in 1995. Average utilization increased by 9% and
average daily rental rates increased by 2% between periods.

Container utilization began to decline in late 1995 and that decline has
persisted throughout 1996 and into 1997. The General Partners believe that this
decrease in demand for leased containers is the result of recent 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; (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; and
(iv) as noted above, shipping lines' purchased, rather than leased a greater
number of containers. All of these factors have led to lower utilization of
leased containers, which in turn has led to downward pressure on container
rental rates and higher leasing incentives and other discounts for leased
containers, further eroding Partnership profitability. For the near term, the
General Partners do not foresee any changes in this outlook 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 for pick-up of containers from prime
locations less credits granted to lessees for leasing containers from less
desirable locations (location income), income from charges to the lessees under
a damage protection plan (DPP) and income for handling and returning containers.
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 in other rental revenues was due to 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 lower demand, which
drove drop-off charges to lessees down and increased credits to lessees for
picking up units at less desirable locations. The increase in DPP is primarily
due to the increase in the number of lessees under the plan.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the total of these other revenue items was
$1,137, an increase of $658 from the equivalent period in 1994. The primary
components of this net increase in other rental revenues was due to increases in
handling, location and DPP income of $284, $219 and $155, respectively. These
increases are directly related to the increase in average fleet size.

Direct container expenses (excluding bad debt expense), which increased from
$1,433 during the year ended December 31, 1995, to $2,561 for the year ended
December 31, 1996, increased as a percentage of rental income from 14% to 19%
during the respective periods. The relative increase in these costs as a
percentage of rental income was attributable to the decrease in utilization and
daily rental rates.

Direct container expenses (excluding bad debt expense), which increased from
$642 during the year ended December 31, 1994, to $1,433 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, decreased as a percentage of rental income from 17% to 14%
during the respective periods. The relative decrease in these costs as a
percentage of rental income was attributable to the increase in utilization and
average daily rental rates.

Bad debt expense increased by $17 and $76 from the years ended December 31, 1995
to 1996 and December 31, 1994 to 1995, respectively. As a percentage of gross
revenue, bad debt expense was consistent at 1% for these years.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by $1,498 and $2,021 from the
year ended December 31, 1995 to 1996 and from the year ended December 31, 1994,
to 1995, respectively. These increases are directly related to the increases in
fleet size during the periods.

Management fees to affiliates as a percentage of gross revenue were 9.6% and
8.6% for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Incentive
management fees, which are based on the Partnership's distributions to the
limited and general partners, were 2.6% and 1.6% of gross revenue in the years
ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Equipment management fees were
7% of gross revenue for both years.

Management fees to affiliates were 8.6% of gross revenue in the year ended
December 31, 1995 and 7.4% of total gross revenue for the same period in 1994.
Incentive management fees were 1.6% for the year ended December 31, 1995 and
0.4% for the same period in 1994. The increased percentage between periods
reflects the increase in distribution rate to the limited partners from 9% to
10% and the increase in capital subject to distributions. Equipment management
fees were 7% of gross revenue for both periods.

General and administrative costs to affiliates increased by $105 from the year
ended December 31, 1995, compared to the same period in 1996, and increased by
$476 from the year ended December 31, 1995, compared to the same period in 1994.
These costs, which are primarily overhead costs allocated by TEM, are allocated
based on fleet size, which increased in each of the respective periods.

Other income (expense), net, decreased from an expense of $828 for the year
ended December 31, 1995, to income of $8 for the comparable period in 1996. This
change was comprised of a decrease in interest expense of $895 and a decrease in
interest income of $94, offset by an increase in the gain on sale of equipment
of $35. Interest expense decreased due to the repayment of the credit facility
in April, 1996. Interest income decreased due to a lower amount of cash
available for short-term investment in 1996 compared to 1995.

Other (expense), net, decreased from $888 for the period ended December 31,
1994, to $828 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This change was comprised of
an increase in interest expense of $49, offset by an increase in interest income
of $55 and an increase in gain on sale of equipment of $54. Interest expense
increased due to higher interest rates during the first half of 1995, compared
to the same period in 1994, as well as a higher average balance outstanding
under the credit facility. Interest income increased due to a higher amount of
cash available for short-term investment in 1995 over 1994.

Net earnings per limited partnership unit decreased from $1.71 to $0.93 per unit
from the year ended December 31, 1995, to the same period in 1996. Despite the
growth in net earnings, which increased from $3,116 for the year ended December
31, 1995, to $3,834 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.

Net earnings per limited partnership unit increased from $1.44 to $1.71 per unit
from the year ended December 31, 1995, to the year ended December 31, 1996,
reflecting the increase in net earnings from $367 to $3,116 for the respective
period. These increases were directly attributable to the growth in fleet size
and increases in utilization between the 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, 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 the 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, 1996 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 Partnership's business.

(A California limited partnership)

Notes to Fianancial Statements

Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
(Dollar 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, was formed on July 15, 1993 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 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) (formerly Textainer (Delaware) Inc.)
is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership. Textainer Equipment
Management Limited (TEM) (prior to being redomiciled on December 20, 1994,
TEM was known as Textainer Equipment Management N.V.) 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 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. 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 container rental
contracts. These contracts are typically for a one-year term and are
classified as operating leases. 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.

(c) Equipment

The Equipment is carried at the lower of cost of the assets purchased,
which includes acquisition fees, or the estimated recoverable value of
such assets. 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 March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" (SFAS 121). The Partnership adopted
SFAS 121 during 1995. In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership
periodically compares the carrying value of the Equipment to expected
future market conditions for the purpose of assessing the recoverability
of the recorded amounts. There were no reductions to the carrying value of
the Equipment made during 1996 or 1995.

(d) 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. Once the Equipment is on-hire with a lessee,
the Partnership has no way of knowing its location. 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.

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.

(e) 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 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 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 as an accrued liability
at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

(f) 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.

(g) Organization Costs

Organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five
years.

(h) Acquisition Fees

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

(i) Damage Protection Plan

The Partnership offers a Damage Protection Plan (the Plan) to lessees of
its Equipment. Under the terms of the Plan, 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 December 31, 1996 and
1995, this reserve was equal to $361 and $232 respectively.

(j) 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 year ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 which was
4,041,267, 1,796,771 and 251,824, respectively.

(k) Redemptions

The following redemption offerings were consummated by the Partnership
during the year ended December 31, 1996:



Average
Units Redeemed Redemption Price Amount Paid


Year ended December 31, 1996:
3rd quarter............. 5,576 $18.18 $ 102
4th quarter............. 2,875 $17.57 50
----- -----
Balance at December 31, 1996 8,451 $17.97 $ 152
===== ====

Partnership to date......... 8,451 $17.97 $ 152
===== ====


There were no redemptions prior to 1996. The redemption price is fixed by
formula and varies depending on the length of time the units have been
outstanding.

(l) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

To meet the reporting requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement 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, 1996 and 1995, the fair
value of the Partnership's financial instruments approximate the related
book value of such instruments.

(m) Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications, not affecting net earnings, have been made to
prior year amounts in order to conform with the 1996 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 amounts, which totaled $2,553 and $6,407, respectively,
during 1996 and 1995, were deducted as syndication and offering costs in
the determination of net limited partnership contributions.

The Partnership reimbursed the Managing General Partner for organization
expenses totaling $262. These costs, which resulted from the formation of
the Partnership, were capitalized as organization costs in 1994.

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
capitalized $478, $2,107 and $884 of equipment acquisition fees as part of
Equipment costs during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and incurred $355, $166 and $14 of incentive management fees
in the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. No equipment
liquidation fees were incurred in 1996, 1995 or 1994.

The Equipment of the Partnership is managed by TEM. 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 at
December 31, 1996, and 1995.

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, 1996, 1995 and 1994, these fees totaled $950, $733 and
$265, respectively. The Equipment is leased by TEM to third party lessees
on operating master leases, spot leases, term leases and full payout net
leases. The majority 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 borne by TCC and TEM. During 1996, 1995, and 1994, costs
allocated to the Partnership for salaries were $463, $363 and $151,
respectively and other general and administrative costs were $399, $394
and $130, respectively.

TEM allocates these costs based on the ratio of the Partnership's interest
in managed Equipment to the total Equipment managed by TEM during the
period. Indirect general and administrative costs allocated to the

of business between the Partnership and its affiliates and represent

interest on intercompany balances except for loans on equipment purchases.
