                                     PART I

ITEM 1.      BUSINESS

(a.) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. Sierra Pacific Institutional Properties V
(the "Partnership") is a California limited partnership that was formed in
October 1985 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and operating commercial
and industrial real estate.

The Partnership acquired land in August 1987 for the development of an 88,423
square foot industrial property in San Diego, California known as Sierra
Sorrento II. This development consists of two separate buildings; a two-story
building consisting of 29,500 usable square feet that was completed in November
1988 and a two-story building consisting of 58,923 usable square feet that was
completed in May 1989.

On February 1, 1989, the Partnership sold the Sierra Sorrento II land to a life
insurance company ("Ground Lessor") for $3,000,000. Simultaneously, the
Partnership entered into a ground lease with the Ground Lessor to lease the
Sierra Sorrento II land for a term of approximately 40 years requiring minimum
payments of $25,000 per month commencing February 1989. Additionally, the terms
of the ground lease require scheduled ground rent increases over the lease term
and additional ground rent. Commencing January 1, 1994, subject to the
provisions of the ground lease, the Partnership has the right to sell the
property (land and buildings) to a third party and terminate the ground lease.
Upon sale, the Ground Lessor is entitled to a return of its $3,000,000
investment before any proceeds are distributed to the Partnership. The Ground
Lessor will also participate in the appreciation of the property (upon sale)
based on a formula contained in the ground lease agreement.

On October 1, 1993, the Partnership created a California general partnership
(Sorrento II Partners or "SIIP") with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP"), an
affiliate, to facilitate cash contributions by SMMP for the continued
development and operation of the Sorrento II property. The Partnership
contributed the Sierra Sorrento II property and $115,000 in cash and SMMP
contributed cash ($1,470,400, net, through December 31, 1995) in exchange for a
26.92% interest in Sorrento II Partners. Such interest was computed based upon
the estimated fair value of SIIP's net assets at the date of formation of the
joint venture. SMMP made additional cash contributions amounting to $44,500 and
received distributions amounting to $190,500 during 1996. The percentage
interests of the Partnership and Sierra Mira Mesa Partners are to be adjusted
every January 1st during the term of Sorrento II Partners, beginning January 1,
1995. Accordingly, as of January 1, 1997, the Partnership's interest in SIIP
will be increased to 75.09%, and SMMP's interest will be reduced to 24.91%.

(b.) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. The Partnership owns and operates Sierra
Sorrento II, an industrial project in San Diego, California. Success of the
office building is dependent upon the timely payment of rent by two tenants
which occupied 92% of the building at December 31, 1996.

The Sierra Sorrento II property consists of two adjacent office/research and
development buildings. There is significant competition in the research and
development building rental market in the Partnership's trade area. A 1994
appraisal identified just over seven million square feet of competing research
and development space in the Property's market area.

(c.) COMPARISON OF CURRENT ACTIVITIES TO THOSE PROPOSED AT THE INITIATION OF THE
PARTNERSHIP. In the Partnership's prospectus dated January 6, 1986, the
investment objectives were described as follows:

"The Partnership has been formed to acquire and operate on an all-cash basis
commercial and industrial real properties, including both properties which are
to be developed by the Partnership or are under development or construction
("development properties") and properties which are newly-constructed or have
operating histories ("existing properties"). A minimum of 75% of the cash
invested in properties by the Partnership will be invested in properties which
are in the development or lease-up stage. The properties in which the
Partnership will invest will be located in areas in the western and southwestern
United States which are expected to experience high population and/or economic
growth levels during the Partnership's period of operations. The principal
investment objectives of the Partnership are to: (i) preserve, protect and
return the Partnership's invested capital; (ii) generate sufficient cash from
operations to provide for distributions of Available Cash to the Limited
Partners, a portion of which will be tax-sheltered to the holders of Taxable
Entity Units; (iii) obtain maximum long-term appreciation in the value of the
Partnership's real estate investments; and (iv) sell the Partnership's real
estate investments for cash after an approximate three to five year holding
period. There can be no assurance that such objectives will be attained."

Operations of the Partnership through 1996 have been consistent with the intent
of the original prospectus in that the Partnership has invested in real estate
projects that had the potential for capital gains, preservation of capital, and
providing distributable cash flow partially sheltered from Federal Income Tax.
However, the Partnership and its real estate have been adversely affected by the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, aggressive lending by banks that resulted in commercial
real estate overbuilding, and subsequent severe recessions. The original
intention to sell its real estate investments after a five year holding period
was delayed indefinitely. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had paid cash
distributions of $2.69 for each $250 unit investment and remaining partners'
equity was computed at $79.91 per unit. Thus, if the Partnership were to be
liquidated at the end of 1996 at book value, each $250 investment would have
returned a total of $82.60.

The General Partner's goal is to continue operating the Sierra Sorrento II
property until such time as rental rates return to the level necessary to
support new industrial building development. At that time, the property may be
sold at a price substantially greater than current book value.

ITEM 2.      PROPERTY

During 1996, the Partnership owns a 73.08% interest in Sierra Sorrento II, an
industrial property located in San Diego, California. (See Item 1. Business for
discussion of percentage ownership changes.) The property includes two separate
buildings comprising 88,423 rentable square feet and is 92% occupied at December
31, 1996. There are no material liens or encumbrances against the property at
December 31, 1996. The average effective annual rent per square foot at December
31, 1996 is $10.12. The property has only two tenants whose principal businesses
are electronics manufacturing and healthcare administration. Details of these
significant tenants and their leases follow.

As of December 31, 1996, the number of security holders is as follows:

These securities are all of the same class, namely, limited partnership
interests (units) and were sold pursuant to a registration statement filed under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The total offering was 140,000 units at
$250.00 per unit.

No broker or dealer currently makes a market in the units of the Partnership.
Accordingly, there are no published price or trading volume figures available
for the units. The units have been transferred on an extremely limited extent
from time-to-time since the inception of the Partnership; however, the market
for the units is highly restricted and sporadic, especially in view of the
investor suitability requirements imposed on new purchasers by the various state
blue sky laws and the restrictions on transfer contained in the Partnership
Agreement.

The Partnership has neither paid nor declared any cash or other distributions to
the General or Limited Partners during the two most recent years. There are no
contractual or other restrictions on the Partnership's ability to make such
distributions.


ITEM 6.      SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The Selected Financial Data for the Partnership is filed by reference to the
Annual Report to the Limited Partners attached as an Exhibit.


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


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Finanacial Condition and Results of
Operations includes certain forward looking statements reflecting the
Partnership's expectations in the near future; however, many factors which may
affect the actual results, especially changing regulations, are difficult to
predict. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Partnership's expectations
will be realized.

Overview:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected
Financial Data and the Partnership's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto incorporated by reference to the Annual Report to the Limited Partners
attached as an Exhibit. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owns a 73.08%
interest in Sierra Sorrento II, an industrial property located in San Diego,
California.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations:

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995.

Revenues increased by $68,000, or 7%, due primarily to increased expense
recoveries of common area maintenance fees. The weighted average annual rent per
square foot, on an accrual basis, increased from $9.89 at December 31, 1995 to
$10.12 at December 31, 1996. The occupancy rate remained constant at 92%
throughout 1996. Operating expenses increased $40,000, or 3%, primarily as a
result of a full year's depreciation taken on significant tenant improvements
capitalized late in 1995 and increased maintenance and repair costs due to the
costs of making repairs that were deferred in the prior year.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994.

Revenues increased by $252,000, or 38%, due to the rental of additional space by
the property's largest tenant in January 1995. Occupancy increased from 64% at
December 31, 1994 to 92% at December 31, 1995. The weighted average annual rent
per square foot, on an accrual basis, decreased from $10.26 at December 31, 1994
to $9.89 at December 31, 1995, due to the favorable rental rate given to this
tenant as an incentive to expand their square footage. Operating expenses
increased by $43,000, or 4%, primarily due to the increased depreciation and
amortization expenses on $278,000 of additional tenant improvements associated
with the expansion of tenant space.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

On October 1, 1993, the Partnership created a California general partnership
(Sorrento II Partners) with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP"), an affiliate, to
facilitate cash contributions by SMMP for the continued development and
operation of the Sorrento II property. SMMP has adequate resources to make the
necessary advances during the foreseeable future.

During 1996, the Partnership generated cash of $159,000 from operating
activities. The Partnership paid $52,000 for property additions and distributed
$191,000 to SMMP.

The Partnership is in an illiquid position at December 31, 1996 with cash of
$9,000 and current liabilities of $97,000.

The Partnership's primary capital requirements will be for construction of new
tenant space and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other
yet unknown changes in building codes. It is anticipated that these requirements
will be funded from operations of the Property.

Inflation:

The Partnership's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the
adverse impact of inflation on its results from operations. Such provisions may
include escalation clauses related to Consumer Price Index increases.

(1)   The initial cost represents the original purchase price of the property.

(2)   The Partnership has capitalized property development costs.

(3)   On February 1, 1989, the Sierra Sorrento II land was sold for $3,000,000
      and leased back from the buyer. Sale and leaseback costs of $149,629 were
      capitalized. Because the sale and leaseback transaction contains many
      characteristics of a joint venture, the Partnership accounts for this
      arrangement under the method of accounting described in Note 4 to the
      consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference to the Annual
      Report to the Limited Partners attached as an Exhibit. On October 1, 1993,
      the property was transferred to a general partnership, Sorrento II
      Partners. The Partnership has an equity interest of 73.08% and Sierra Mira
      Mesa Partners, an affiliate, has 26.92% equity interest at December 31,
      1996.

(4)   For Federal Income Tax purposes, the total cost of the Property (net of
      the ground lessor's equity) is $4,990,589.

(5)   Construction on a two-story building ("Building B"), 29,500 usable square
      footage, was completed in November 1988. Construction on a two-story
      building ("Building A") 58,923 usable square footage, was completed in May
      1989.

(6)   Reconciliation of total real estate carrying value and accumulated
      depreciation for the three years ended December 31, 1996 is as follows:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
Sierra Pacific Institutional Properties V


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sierra Pacific
Institutional Properties V, a California limited partnership, (the
"Partnership") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

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

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sierra Pacific
Institutional Properties V as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

sold to Finance Factors, Inc. TCP, Inc. owns all of the common stock of S-P
Properties, Inc. Finance Factors was a subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company,
Inc., a national real estate company. In July 1995, Finance Factors, Inc. merged
with Bancor Real Estate Company, Inc., another subsidiary of CGS Real Estate
Company, Inc.

The Partnership acquired land in August 1987 for the development of an 88,423
square foot industrial property in San Diego, California known as Sierra
Sorrento II. This development consists of two separate buildings; a two-story
building consisting of 29,500 usable square feet that was completed in November
1988 and a two-story building consisting of 58,923 usable square feet that was
completed in May 1989.

On February 1, 1989, the Partnership sold the Sierra Sorrento II land to a life
insurance company ("Ground Lessor") for $3,000,000. Simultaneously, the
Partnership entered into a ground lease with the Ground Lessor to lease the
Sierra Sorrento II land for a term of approximately 40 years requiring minimum
payments of $25,000 per month commencing February 1989.

On October 1, 1993, the Partnership created a California general partnership
(Sorrento II Partners) with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP"), an affiliate, to
facilitate cash contributions by SMMP for the continued development and
operation of the Sorrento II property. The Partnership contributed the Sierra
Sorrento II property and cash and SMMP contributed cash to the newly formed
partnership. At December 31, 1996, the Partnership's remaining asset is a 73.08%
interest in Sorrento II Partners.

BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Partnership maintains its books and prepares its financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, the
Partnership prepares its tax returns on the accrual basis of accounting as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code with adjustments to reconcile book and
taxable income (loss) for differences in the treatment of certain income and
expense items. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any
provision for federal or state income taxes since such taxes are the obligation
of the individual partners.

The preparation of 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 revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and Sorrento II Partners, a majority owned California general partnership (see
Note 4). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid, short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The financial instruments of the Partnership at December 31, 1996 and 1995
consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from affiliates, and
accounts payable. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, and
accounts payable approximates the carrying value due to the short term nature of
these items. The fair value of due from affiliates can not be determined due to
the related party nature of this receivable.

INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTY

Property and tenant improvements are carried at cost and depreciated on the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets, ranging
from three to thirty years. Tenant improvements incurred at the initial leasing
of the property are depreciated over ten years and tenant improvements incurred
at the re-leasing of the property are depreciated over the life of the related
lease.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged against income as incurred.
Improvements and major renewals are capitalized. Costs and the related
accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts
in the year of disposal or when fully depreciated and any resulting gain or loss
is reflected in income or deferred income as appropriate.

The Partnership employs a systematic approach in determining whether the value
of income-producing property has been impaired. Prior to 1995, a provision for
loss on a property was established if the appraised value of the property
declined below its book value due to what the General Partner believed to be an
other than temporary condition. A complete appraisal was performed on the
property as of December 31 each year. A provision for loss on the property was
established as the appraised value of the property declined below book value
because of depressed real estate market conditions, which the General Partner
believed to be other than temporary. A complete appraisal was performed on the
property as of December 31, 1994 that indicated an appraised value in excess of
the historical cost basis of the property.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership implemented Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (the "Statement"). The Partnership
regularly evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable. Future cash flows are estimated and compared to the carrying amount
of the asset to determine if an impairment has occurred. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the
Partnership shall recognize an impairment loss in accordance with the Statement.
No loss provision was required with the implementation of this Statement.

Because the determination of fair value is based upon projections of future
economic events such as property occupancy rates, rental rates, operating cost
inflation and market capitalization rates which are inherently subjective, the
amounts ultimately realized at disposition may differ materially from the net
carrying value as of December 31, 1996. The cash flows used to determine fair
value and net realizable value are based on good faith estimates and assumptions
developed by management. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur and
some assumptions may not materialize; therefore actual results may vary from the
estimates and the variances may be material. The Partnership may provide
additional write-downs which could be material in subsequent years if real
estate markets or local economic conditions change.

OTHER ASSETS

Deferred leasing costs represent costs incurred to lease properties and are
amortized over the life of the related lease.

RENTAL INCOME AND RENT RECEIVABLE

Rental income is recognized on the straight-line method over the term of the
related operating lease in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases".

Unbilled rent receivable represents the difference between rent recognized on
the straight-line method and actual cash due.

ACCRUED AND OTHER LIABILITIES

Ground lease payable, included in accrued and other liabilities, represents the
difference between rent recognized on the straight-line method in accordance
with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases" and actual cash due and paid by that date.

CALCULATION OF EQUITY AND NET INCOME (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT

Equity and net income (loss) per limited partnership unit are determined by
dividing the Limited Partners' equity and net income (loss) by 30,777, the
number of limited partnership units outstanding.

On February 1, 1989, the Partnership sold the Sierra Sorrento II land to a life
insurance company ("Ground Lessor") for $3,000,000. Simultaneously, the
Partnership entered into a ground lease with the Ground Lessor to lease the
Sierra Sorrento II land for a term of approximately 40 years requiring minimum
payments of $25,000 per month commencing February 1989. Additionally, the terms
of the ground lease require scheduled ground rent increases over the lease term
and additional ground rent. Commencing January 1, 1994, subject to the
provisions of the ground lease, the Partnership has the right to sell the
property (land and buildings) to a third party and terminate the ground lease.
Upon sale the Ground Lessor is entitled to a return of its $3,000,000 investment
before any proceeds are distributed to the Partnership. The Ground Lessor will
also participate in the appreciation of the property (upon sale) based on a
formula contained in the ground lease agreement. Because the transaction does
not qualify as a sale and leaseback under generally accepted accounting
principles, the Partnership has reflected the $3,000,000 payment as the Ground
Lessor's equity in the income-producing property in the accompanying balance
sheet.

On October 1, 1993, the Partnership formed a joint venture with SMMP, an
affiliate. The joint venture, known as Sorrento II Partners ("SIIP"), was formed
as a California general partnership to develop and operate the Sierra Sorrento
II property. The Partnership had an 83.2% equity interest with its contribution
of Sierra Sorrento II and $115,000 in cash. Such interest was computed based
upon the estimated fair value of SIIP's net assets at the date of formation of
the joint venture. SMMP was allocated a 16.8% initial equity interest in SIIP in
exchange for its $710,000 cash contribution. SMMP made additional cash
contributions amounting to $295,000, $489,000 and $44,500, and received
distributions amounting to $0, $23,600 and $190,500 during 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. The percentage interests of the Partnership and SMMP are to be
adjusted every January 1st during the term of SIIP, beginning January 1, 1995.
Accordingly, as of January 1, 1995 and 1996, the Partnership's interest in SIIP
was reduced to 79.89% and 73.08%, respectively, and SMMP's interest was
increased to 20.11% and 26.92%, respectively. On January 1, 1997, the
Partnership's interest will be increased to 75.09% and SMMP's interest will be
reduced to 24.91% to reflect the 1996 contributions and distributions. Under the
terms of the SIIP joint venture agreement, SMMP will receive preferential cash
distributions of available "Distributable Funds" from the operation of SIIP or
sale of its property to the extent of its capital contributions. Additional
Distributable Funds are allocable to the Partnership to the extent of the deemed
fair value of its property contribution, and the remainder to the Partnership
and SMMP in proportion to their respective equity interests.

Future minimum base rental income, under the existing operating leases for the
Sierra Sorrento II property, to be recognized on a straight-line basis and
amounts to be received on a cash basis are as follows:

The Partnership relies on two tenants to generate all of rental income; 35% is
from a healthcare administrator and the remaining 65% is from an electronics
manufacturer.

5.   PARTNERS' EQUITY

Accrual basis profits and losses resulting from operations of the Partnership
are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
Currently, the Partnership does not meet the criteria for distributing cash to
the General Partner, and it cannot reasonably predict when the criteria will be
met. Accordingly, no accrual basis profits and losses from operations were
allocated to the General Partner.

Upon any sale or other disposition of the Partnership's real properties,
distributions will be made to the Limited Partners until they have received
distributions from sales proceeds in an amount equal to 100% of their unreturned
capital. Thereafter, distributions generally will be divided 1% to the General
Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have received
distributions from all sources equal to the sum of their respective priority
distributions (an amount equal to not less than 12% per annum cumulative, but
not compounded, on each Limited Partners' unreturned capital). Thereafter, the
General Partner will be entitled to receive incentive distributions which, when
aggregated with the 1% distributions to the General Partner described above, are
equal to 10% of the total net sale proceeds available for distribution to the
Partners. Any remaining sale proceeds will be distributed to the Limited
Partners.
