                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                March 31, 1997

                                  (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
by the Fund in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commis-
sion.  In the opinion of Management, all adjustments (consisting of normal 
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Certain amounts on the 1996 financial statements have been 
reclassified to conform to the presentation in 1997.

1.  EQUIPMENT LEASED

    Equipment on lease consists primarily of computer equipment under operating 
    leases.  A majority of the equipment was manufactured by IBM.  The lessees 
    have agreements with the manufacturer to provide maintenance for the leased 
    equipment.  The Fund's operating leases are for initial lease terms of 9 to 
    48 months.  Generally, operating leases will not recover all of the 
    undepreciated cost and related expenses of its rental equipment during the 
    initial lease terms and the Fund is prepared to remarket the equipment in 
    future years.  Fund policy is to review quarterly the expected economic 
    life of its rental equipment in order to determine the recoverability of 
    its undepreciated cost.  Recent and anticipated technological developments 
    affecting computer equipment and competitive factors in the marketplace are 
    considered among other things, as part of this review. In accordance with 
    Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the Fund writes down its rental 
    equipment to its estimated net realizable value when the amounts are 
    reasonably estimated and only recognizes gains upon actual sale of its 
    rental equipment.  As a result, $47,411 and $82,642 was charged to write-
    down of equipment to net realizable value for the three months ended 
    March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Any future losses are dependent 
    upon unanticipated technological developments affecting the computer 
    equipment industry in subsequent years.

    The Fund also has equipment leased under the direct financing method in
    accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13.  This
    method provides for recognition of income (the excess of the aggregate
    future rentals and estimated additional amounts recoverable upon expiration
    of the lease over the related equipment cost) over the life of the lease
    using the interest method.

    The net investment in direct financing leases as of March 31, 1997 is as
    follows:

2.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

    The General Partner receives 6% or 3% of gross rental payments from equip-
    ment under operating leases and full pay-out leases, respectively, for
    administrative and management services performed on behalf of the Fund.
    Full pay-out leases are noncancellable leases with terms in excess of 42
    months and for which rental payments during the initial term are at least
    sufficient to recover the purchase price of the equipment, including acqui-
    sition fees.  This management fee is paid quarterly only if and when the 
    Limited Partners have received distributions for the period from January 1, 
    1989 through the end of the most recent quarter equal to a return for such 
    period at a rate of 12% per year on the aggregate amount paid for their 
    units.

    Additionally, the General Partner and its parent company are reimbursed by 
    the Fund for certain costs of services and materials used by or for the 
    Fund except those items covered by the above-mentioned fees.  Following is 
    a summary of fees and costs of services and materials charged by the 
    General Partner or its parent company during the three months ended 
    March 31:

    Inc. serves as a director.

3.  CASH DISTRIBUTION

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Fidelity Leasing Income Fund V, L.P. had revenues of $797,971 and 
$1,142,684 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 
Rental income from the leasing of computer equipment accounted for 
94% and 89% of total revenues for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respec-
tively.  The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to a decrease in 
rental income.  In 1997, rental income decreased by approximately $589,000
because of equipment which came off lease and was re-leased at lower rental 
rates or sold.  This decrease, however, was reduced by approximately $315,000
of rents generated from equipment purchased since the first quarter of 1996.
Additionally, the Fund recognized a net gain on sale of equipment of $-0- and 
$83,697 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, which also 
contributed to the decrease in revenues in 1997.

    Expenses were $728,555 and $888,770 during the three months ended March 
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Depreciation expense comprised 76% and 74% of 
total expenses during the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The 
decrease in expenses between 1997 and 1996 is primarily attributable to a 
decrease in depreciation expense because of equipment which came off lease and 
was terminated or sold since March of 1996.  Additionally, the decrease in 
write-down of equipment to net realizable value contributed to the overall 
decrease in expenses.  Based upon the review of the recoverability of the 
undepreciated cost of rental equipment, $47,411 was charged to operations to 
write down equipment to its estimated net realizable value for the three months 
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $82,642 for the three months ended March 
31, 1996. Any future losses are dependent upon unanticipated technological 
developments affecting the computer equipment industry in subsequent years.  
The overall amount of decrease in expenses was mitigated due to the Fund 
recognizing a net loss on the sale of equipment of $20,263 for the first 
quarter of 1997 as compared to $-0- for the first quarter of 1996.

    For the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the Fund's net income
was $69,416 and $253,914, respectively.  The earnings per equivalent limited
partnership unit, after earnings allocated to the General Partner were $2.71
and $9.75 based on a weighted average number of equivalent limited partnership
units outstanding of 25,048 and 25,806 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

    The Fund generated funds from operations of $690,573 and $911,921, for 
the purpose of determining cash available for distribution and distributed 
$150,000 and $240,000 to partners for the first quarter of 1997 and 1996, 
respectively.  For financial statement purposes, the Fund records cash 
distributions to partners on a cash basis in the period in which they are paid.

Item 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

    The Fund continues the process of dissolution during 1997.  As provided in 
the Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, the assets of the Fund shall be 
liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining their fair value.  
During this time, the Fund will continue to purchase computer equipment with 
cash available from operations which was not distributed to partners for terms 
consistent with the plan of dissolution.  During the quarter ended March 31, 
1997, the Fund purchased $1,023,759 of equipment.

    The cash position of the Fund is reviewed daily and cash is invested on a
short-term basis.

    The Fund's cash from operations is expected to continue to be adequate to
cover all operating expenses and contingencies during the next twelve month 
period.
