                                     PART I


Item 1.        Description of Business


General

               Enex Oil & Gas Income Program V - Series 5, L.P. (the  "Company")
was formed under the New Jersey Uniform Limited  Partnership Act (1976) on April
10,  1990,  and  commenced   operations  on  April  30,  1992,   with  aggregate
subscriptions  of $1,231,732,  $1,219,415 of which was received from 670 limited
partners,  including  investors whose  distributions  from earlier  partnerships
sponsored by the Company's general partner,  Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex")
were automatically invested in the Company.

               The Company is engaged in the oil business  through the ownership
of various interests in producing oil properties,  as detailed in Item 2, below.
If warranted,  the Company may further develop its oil properties.  However, the
Company  does not  intend to engage in  significant  drilling  activities.  Such
activities may be conducted, however, as an incidental part of the management of
producing  properties  or with a view toward  enhancing  the value of  producing
properties.  In no event will the Company engage in exploratory drilling, or use
any  of  the  limited  partners'  net  revenues  to  fund  exploratory  drilling
activities.  Any developmental drilling will be financed primarily through third
party  borrowing  or with  funds  provided  from  operations.  The  expenses  of
drilling, completing and equipping and operating development wells are allocated
90% to the limited  partners and 10% to the general  partner.  See Note 1 to the
Financial  Statements  for  information  relating to the allocation of costs and
revenues  between the limited  partners and the general  partner.  The Company's
operations are concentrated in a single industry segment.

               The  Company  owns  working  interests  in  certain  oil  and gas
properties. A "working interest" is a portion of the operating interest which is
subject to most of the costs associated with a well.

               The  principal  executive  office of the Company is maintained at
Suite 200, Three Kingwood Place, Kingwood,  Texas 77339. The telephone number at
this office is (713) 358-8401. The Company has no regional offices.

     The Company has no employees.  On March 1, 1997, Enex and its  subsidiaries
employed 23 persons.

Marketing

               The  marketing  of oil  produced  by the Company is affected by a
number of factors  which are beyond the Company's  control,  the exact nature of
which cannot be accurately  predicted.  These  factors  include the quantity and
price of crude oil imports,  fluctuating  supply and demand,  pipeline and other
transportation facilities, the marketing of competitive fuels, state and federal
regulation of oil production and  distribution  and other matters  affecting the
availability of a ready market. All of these factors are extremely volatile.


                                       I-1

<PAGE>



               Conoco,  Inc. accounted for 100% of the Company's total oil sales
in both 1996 and 1995.  Although the Company  marketed a significant  portion of
its sales to the  above  noted  company,  such a  concentration  does not pose a
significant risk due to the commodity nature of the Company's products.

               The  operators of the  Company's  properties  are noted in Item 2
below.  Although a significant portion of the Company's properties were operated
by a limited number of operators, this concentration does not pose a significant
risk since the  Company's  rights are secured by joint  operating  agreements  .
Environmental and Conservation Regulation

               State  regulatory  authorities in the states in which the Company
owns  producing  properties  are  empowered to make and enforce  regulations  to
prevent  waste of oil and to protect  correlative  rights and  opportunities  to
produce  oil  for  owners  of  a  common  reservoir.  Each  of  such  regulatory
authorities  also  regulates  the amount of oil produced by assigning  allowable
rates of  production,  which may be increased or  decreased in  accordance  with
supply and  demand.  Requirements  regarding  the  prevention  and  clean-up  of
pollution and similar environmental  matters are also generally applicable.  The
costs, if any, the Company may incur in this regard cannot be predicted.

               The  existence of such  regulations  has had no material  adverse
effects on the Company's  operations to date, and the cost of compliance has not
yet been material.  There are no material administrative or judicial proceedings
arising under such laws or regulations pending against the Company.  The Company
is unable to assess or predict the impact that compliance with environmental and
pollution  control  laws  and  regulations  may have on its  future  operations,
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Tax Laws

               The  operations of the Company are affected by the federal income
tax laws  contained  in the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended  (the
"Code"). Under the Code, generally, the Company will report income from the sale
of oil, against which it may deduct its ordinary business  expenses,  depletion,
depreciation and intangible drilling and development costs.

               It is anticipated that most of the Company's income, if any, will
be from a  "passive  activity"  for  purposes  of the Code.  A passive  activity
includes an  activity in which the  taxpayer  does not  materially  participate,
including the ownership of a limited partnership  interest,  such as an interest
in the Company.  "Passive  income,"  however,  does not include portfolio income
(i.e. dividends,  interest,  royalties,  etc.). Although taxpayers generally may
not deduct  losses or use tax credits  derived  from  passive  activities  in an
amount  greater than their income  derived from such  activities,  if and to the
extent that the Company generates passive income, it will be available to offset
the limited partners' passive losses from other sources.

               Partnerships  with interests that are "publicly traded" are taxed
as  corporations  unless at least 90% of their  income is  "qualifying  income."
Passive income or loss from publicly traded  partnerships  that are not taxed as
corporations  generally  cannot be applied  against  passive income or loss from
other  sources.  As  stated  in  Item  5 of  this  Annual  Report,  there  is no
established  public  trading  market  for  the  Company's  limited   partnership
interests.  In addition,  the Company derives more than 90% of its income within
the

                                       I-2

<PAGE>



meaning of section  7704(d) of the Code.  Therefore,  the Company  should not be
affected by the publicly traded partnership rules.

               In order to  prevent  the  adverse  tax  consequences  that would
affect the limited partners if the Company's limited partnership  interests were
to become  publicly  traded in the future,  the general partner may, after final
regulations have been issued by the Internal  Revenue Service,  submit to a vote
of limited  partners  a proposal  to amend the  Company's  agreement  of limited
partnership to provide,  among other things,  (a) that Enex shall have the right
to refuse to  recognize  any  transfer of limited  partnership  interests  if it
believes that such transfer  occurred on a secondary  market or the  substantial
equivalent  thereof;  and (b) that all  assignors  and  assignees of the limited
partnership  interests  shall be required to represent to Enex that any transfer
of limited partnership interests did not, to the best of their knowledge,  occur
on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof.


Item 2.        Description of Property

               Presented   below  is  a  summary  of  the   Company's   property
acquisitions.

               MULDOON  acquisition.  Working  interests in 24 wells  located in
               Fayette  County,  Texas were purchased for  $1,075,650  effective
               November  1, 1992.  The Muldoon  acquisition  is operated by Enex
               Resources Corporation. The Company owns working interests ranging
               from 89.0% to 91.25% in the Muldoon  acquisition  at December 31,
               1996.

               Purchase  price as used above is  defined as the actual  contract
price plus finders' fees, if  applicable.  Miscellaneous  acquisition  expenses,
subsequent capital items, etc. are not included.

Oil Reserves

               For   quantitative   information   regarding  the  Company's  oil
reserves,  please see  Supplementary  Oil  Information  and related tables which
follow the Notes to Financial  Statements in Item 7 of this report.  The Company
has not filed any current oil reserve  estimates or included any such  estimates
in reports to any federal or foreign governmental authority or agency, including
the Securities and Exchange Commission.

               Proved oil  reserves  reported  herein  are based on  engineering
reports prepared by the petroleum engineering  consulting firm of H. J. Gruy and
Associates,  Inc. The reserves  included in this report are  estimates  only and
should  not be  construed  as exact  quantities.  Future  conditions  may affect
recovery of estimated  reserves and revenue,  and all reserves may be subject to
revision as more performance data become available.  The proved reserves used in
this report conform to the applicable definitions  promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission.  No major discovery or other favorable or adverse event
that  could  potentially  cause a  significant  change in the  estimated  proved
reserves has occurred since December 31, 1996.

regular quarterly distributions will continue through 1997.

Item 6.       Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

              This discussion  should be read in conjunction  with the financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-KSB.

              Oil  sales  totaled  $543,046  and  $470,696  in  1996  and  1995,
respectively.  This  represents an increase of $72,350 or 15%. A 22% increase in
the average oil sales  price  increased  sales by  $97,784.  This  increase  was
partially  offset  by a 5%  decline  in  oil  production.  The  decrease  in oil
production was primarily the result of natural production declines. The increase
in the  average oil sales price  corresponds  with higher  prices in the overall
market for the sale of oil.

     Lease  operating  expenses were $181,615 in 1996 and $191,617 in 1995.  The
decrease of $10,002 or 5% was primarily due to the decline in production,  noted
above.

              Depreciation  and  depletion  expense  was  $144,645  in 1996  and
$134,858 in 1995. This represents an increase of $9,787 or 7%. A 13% increase in
the depletion rate increased depreciation and depletion expense by $17,062. This
increase was partially  offset by the decline in  production,  noted above.  The
increase  in the  depletion  rate  was  primarily  due to the  additions  to the
property base in 1996 resulting  from the successful  drilling of an oil well on
the  Muldoon  acquisition,  partially  offset by an upward  revision  of the oil
reserves during December 1996.

              General  and  administrative  expenses  were  $58,450  in  1996 as
compared with $75,090 in 1995.  The decrease of $16,640 or 22% was primarily due
to less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

              The Company's cash flow from  operations is a direct result of the
amount of net proceeds from the sale of oil production. Accordingly, the changes
in cash flow are primarily due to the changes in oil sales. The Company plans to
repay  the  amount  owed to the  general  partner  in  1997.  It is the  general
partner's  intention to distribute  substantially all of the Company's available
net cash flow provided by operating,  financing and investing  activities to the
Company's  partners.  Distributions  decreased  from  1995 to 1996 due to higher
property  expenditures  to  successfully  drill  an  oil  well  on  the  Muldoon
acquisition.

              The Company will  continue to recover its reserves and  distribute
to the limited partners,  the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas
production.  Distribution  amounts  are  subject to change if net  revenues  are
greater or less than expected.  Nonetheless,  the general  partner  believes the
Company will continue to have  sufficient  cash flows to fund  operations and to
maintain a regular pattern of distributions.

              At December 31, 1996, the Company had no material  commitments for
capital  expenditures.  The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.

Item 7.        Financial Statements and Supplementary Data


INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Partners
Enex Oil & Gas Income
  Program V - Series 5, L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying  balance sheet of Enex Oil & Gas Income Program
V - Series 5, L.P. (a New Jersey limited  partnership)  as of December 31, 1996,
and the related statement of operations,  changes in partners' capital, and cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended  December  31,  1996.  These
financial statements are the responsibility of the general partner of Enex Oil &
Gas Income Program V Series 5, L.P. Our  responsibility is to express an opinion
on the financial statements based on our audit.

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

In our  opinion,  such  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in all material
respects,  the financial position of Enex Oil & Gas Income Program V - Series 5,
L.P. at December 31, 1996 and the results of its  operations  and its cash flows
for each of the two years in the period ended  December  31, 1996 in  conformity

2.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

               Oil and Gas Properties - The Company uses the successful  efforts
               method of accounting for its oil and gas  operations.  Under this
               method,  the  costs of all  development  wells  are  capitalized.
               Capitalized costs are amortized on the units-of-production method
               based on estimated total proved reserves.  The acquisition  costs
               of  improved  oil  and  gas   properties  are   capitalized   and
               periodically assessed for impairment.

               The Financial  Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of
               Financial  Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting for
               the Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
               be Disposed Of," which requires certain assets to be reviewed for
               impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying
               amount may not be recoverable.  Prior to this pronouncement,  the
               Company assessed  properties on an aggregate basis. Upon adoption
               of  SFAS  121,  the  Company  began  assessing  properties  on an
               individual basis,  wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed
               the property's  fair market value.  The fair market value of each
               property was determined by H. J. Gruy and  Associates,  ("Gruy").
               To  determine  the  fair  market  value,   Gruy   estimated  each
               property's  oil and gas  reserves,  applied  certain  assumptions
               regarding  price and cost  escalations,  applied  a 10%  discount
               factor for time and certain discount factors for risk,  location,
               type of ownership  interest,  category of  reserves,  operational
               characteristics, and other factors.

               The Company's  operating  interests in oil and gas properties are
               recorded  using the pro rata  consolidation  method  pursuant  to
               Interpretation 2 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18.

               Organization  Costs - Organization costs are being amortized on a
               straight-line basis over a five-year period.

               Cash Flows - The Company has  presented  its cash flows using the
               indirect method and considers all highly liquid  investments with
               an  original  maturity  of  three  months  or  less  to  be  cash
               equivalents.

               General and Administrative  Expenses - The Company reimburses the
               General  Partner  for  direct  costs  and  administrative   costs
               incurred on its behalf.  Administrative  costs  allocated  to the
               Company are computed on a cost basis in accordance  with standard
               industry  practices by  allocating  the time spent by the General
               Partner's personnel among all projects and by allocating rent and
               other overhead on the basis of the relative direct time charges.

               Uses of Estimates - The  preparation of the financial  statements
               in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles
               requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
               the reported  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
               contingent  assets and  liabilities  at the date of the financial
               statements  and the  reported  amounts  of revenue  and  expenses
               during the reporting  periods.  Actual  results could differ from
               these estimates.

3.             FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

               General - The Company is not a taxable  entity for federal income
               tax  purposes.  Such  taxes  are  liabilities  of the  individual
               partners  and the  amounts  thereof  will vary  depending  on the
               individual  situation of each partner.  Accordingly,  there is no
               provision  for  income  taxes  in  the   accompanying   financial
               statements.

4.             PAYABLE TO GENERAL PARTNER

               The payable to general partner primarily  consists of general and
               administrative  expenses  allocated to the Company by the general
               partner for its ongoing  operations  and is expected to be repaid
               in 1997.


5.             SIGNIFICANT PURCHASERS

               Conoco, Inc. accounted for 100% of the Company's total oil sales
               in both 1996 and 1995.

                 On  January 4, 1996,  the SEC filed a  complaint  in the United
States  District  Court for the District of Columbia  against Mr. Carl  alleging
that Mr. Carl  violated  Section  16(a) of the  Securities  Exchange Act of 1934
("Exchange  Act"), and Rule 16a-2 and 16a-3 (and former Rule 16a-1)  thereunder,
by  failing  to  timely  file   reports   concerning   thirty-eight   securities
transactions  in his  mother's  brokerage  accounts  involving  shares of Health
Images, Inc. stock. The SEC took the position that because Mr. Carl (1) provided
substantial

                                      III-2

<PAGE>



financial  support to his mother,  (2) commingled  his mother's  assets with his
own, (3) provided a substantial portion of the funds used to purchase the shares
in question, and (4) received from his mother a substantial portion of the sales
proceeds, he, therefore, had a pecuniary interest in, and was a beneficial owner
of, the shares in question.

                 In response to the SEC's action,  Mr. Carl  disgorged to Health
Images,  Inc.  approximately  $92,400 in short-swing profits from the trading in
his mother's account,  plus interest thereon of approximately  $52,600.  The SEC
further  requested the court to impose a $10,000 civil penalty  against Mr. Carl
pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.  Without  admitting or denying
the  allegations  in the  complaint,  Mr. Carl consented to the entry of a final
judgement  imposing the $10,000  penalty.  On January 12, 1996, a federal  judge
entered the final judgement in this matter, and Mr. Carl has since filed amended
reports on Forms 4 and 5 reflecting these transactions in his mother's accounts.

                 In  relation  to  the  same  matter,  the  SEC  has  issued  an
administrative  Order  pursuant to Section 21C of the  Exchange  Act against Mr.
Carl,  finding  that he  violated  Section  16(a) and the rules  thereunder  and
requiring  him to cease and desist from  committing  or causing any violation or
future violation of those provisions.  Without admitting or denying  allegations
in the SEC's Order, Mr. Carl consented to the entry of the Order.
