Item 1.  BUSINESS

     Fidelity Leasing Income Fund V, L.P. (the "Fund"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was organized in 1988 and acquires computer equipment, including
printers, tape and disk storage devices, data communications equipment,
computer terminals, technical workstations, networking equipment as well as
other electronic equipment, which is leased to third parties on a short-term
basis.  The Fund's principal objective is to generate leasing revenues for
distribution.  The Fund manages the equipment, releasing or disposing of
equipment as it comes off lease in order to achieve its principal objective.
The Fund does not borrow funds to purchase equipment.

     The Fund generally acquires equipment subject to a lease.  Purchases of
equipment for lease are typically made through equipment leasing brokers,
under a sale-leaseback arrangement directly from lessees owning equipment,
from the manufacturer either pursuant to a purchase agreement relating to
significant quantities of equipment or on an ad hoc basis to meet the needs
of a particular lessee.

     The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive.  The Fund competes
with leasing companies, equipment manufacturers and distributors, and entities
similar to the Fund (including similar programs sponsored by the General
Partner), some of which have greater financial resources than the Fund.  Other
leasing companies and equipment manufacturers and distributors may be in a
position to offer equipment to prospective lessees on financial terms which
are more favorable than those which the Fund can offer.  They may also be in
a position to offer trade-in-privileges, maintenance contracts and other
services which the Fund may not be able to offer.  Equipment manufacturers
and distributors may offer to sell equipment on terms and conditions (such
as liberal financing terms and exchange privileges) which will afford benefits
to the purchaser similar to those obtained through leases.  As a result of the
advantages which certain of its competitors may have, the Fund may find it
necessary to lease its equipment on a less favorable basis than certain of its
competitors.

     A brief description of the types of equipment in which the Fund has
invested as of December 31, 1999, together with information concerning the
users of such equipment is contained in Item 2, following.

     The Fund does not have any employees.  All persons who work on the Fund
are employees of the General Partner.

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

Results of Operations

     The Fund had revenues of $2,093,718, $3,640,530 and $3,442,545 for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Rental income
from the leasing of equipment accounted for 75%, 90% and 94% of total income
in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The decrease in total revenues in 1999
was attributable to a decrease in rental income.  In 1998, the increase in
total revenues was partially caused by the increase in rental income.  In 1999,
rental income decreased by approximately $1,519,000 because of equipment that
terminated or sold.  This decrease was mitigated by rental income of $117,000
generated on 1998 equipment purchases for which a full year of rent was recog-
nized in 1999 and only a partial year was recognized in 1998.  Additionally,
the Fund entered into a transaction in which it collected the remaining rents
owed on certain leases resulting in the recognition of $315,000 of rental
income in 1998.  This also contributed to the decrease in rental income in 1999
as well as the increase in rental income in 1998.  Further, in 1998, rental
income increased by approximately $1,156,000 due to purchases of equipment for
lease in 1998, as well as rental income realized on 1997 equipment purchases
for which a full year of rent was earned in 1998 but only a partial year was
earned in 1997.  This increase in rents, however, was reduced by approximately
$1,410,000 because of equipment that came off lease and was released at lower
rental rates or sold.  The Fund invested in approximately $2.5 million of
direct financing leases during 1999 compared to $2.7 million during 1998.
There were no investments made in direct financing leases in 1997.  As a
result, the Fund recognized earned income on direct financing leases of
$285,617, $184,283 and $15,927 in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, which
reduced the overall decrease in revenues in 1999 and contributed to the overall
increase in revenues in 1998.  Furthermore, the increase in interest income
resulting from higher cash balances available for investment by the Fund during
a significant part of 1999 compared to 1998 served to lower the decrease in
total revenues in 1999.  In 1998, however, the decrease in interest income
resulting from lower cash balances available for investment by the Fund com-
pared to 1997 reduced the increase in total revenues in 1998.  The Fund recog-
nized a net gain on sale of equipment of $70,262 and $53,323 during the twelve
months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  There was no net gain
on sale of equipment earned in 1997.  The increase in this account in both 1999
and 1998 lowered the decrease in total revenues in 1999 and accounted for a
portion of the increase in total revenues in 1998.

     Expenses were $1,757,001, $3,408,425 and $2,808,040 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  Depreciation expense com-
prised 70%, 76% and 75% of total expenses in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The decrease in total expenses in 1999 and the increase in total expenses in
1998 was partially related to the change in depreciation expense.  In 1999,
depreciation expense decreased because of equipment that terminated or sold.
In 1998, however, the increase in depreciation expense resulted from equipment
purchases made during the year, as well as depreciation recorded on equipment
purchased in 1997 for which a full year of depreciation expense was taken in
1998 and only a partial year was taken in 1997.  The fluctuation in write-down
of equipment to net realizable value also affected the change in total expenses
in 1999 and 1998.  The Fund recorded approximately $92,000, $247,000 and
$62,000 of write-down of equipment to net realizable value during 1999, 1998
and 1997, respectively, which contributed to the overall decrease in expenses

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Results of Operations (Continued)

in 1999 and increase in expenses in 1998.  Currently, the Fund's practice
is to review the recoverability of its undepreciated costs of rental equipment
quarterly.  The Fund's policy, as part of this review, is to analyze such
factors as releasing of equipment, technological developments and information
provided in third party publications.  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.  Any future
losses are dependent upon unanticipated technological developments affecting
the types of equipment in the portfolio in subsequent years.  Furthermore,
general and administrative expenses decreased in 1999 and increased in 1998
primarily because the Fund incurred more fees to remarket equipment in 1998.
The fluctuation in this account also contributed to the fluctuation in total
expenses between 1999, 1998 and 1997.  The Fund incurred no net loss on sale
of equipment during 1999 and 1998.  However, the Fund incurred $178,961 of net
loss on sale of equipment during the year ended December 31, 1997.  The
decrease in this account in 1998 lowered the overall increase in expenses in
1998.

     The Fund's net income was $336,717, $232,105 and $634,505 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The earnings per equiv-
alent limited partnership unit, after earnings allocated to the General
Partner, were $13.59, $9.05 and $25.07 for the years ended December 31, 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.  The weighted average number of equivalent
limited partnership units outstanding were 24,404, 25,065 and 25,054 for 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

     The Fund generated cash from operations of $1,583,430, $3,019,439 and
$2,981,370 for the purpose of determining cash available for distribution and
declared distributions of $500,000, $525,000 and $600,000 to partners for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  For financial
statement purposes, the Fund records cash distributions to partners on a
cash basis in the period in which they are paid.

Analysis of Financial Condition

     The Fund is currently in the process of dissolution.  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 equipment for lease with
cash available from operations and sales proceeds which were not distributed
to partners.  During the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Fund
purchased $2,335,867 and $2,143,926, respectively, of equipment subject to
operating leases.  Additionally, the Fund invested in $2,515,973 and $2,713,393
of direct financing leases during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

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

Item 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

     The following table sets forth information relating to the aggregate
compensation earned by the General Partner of the Fund during the year ended
December 31, 1999:

               Name of Individual or      Capacities in
                  Number in Group         Which Served      Compensation

               F.L. Partnership
                Management, Inc.          General Partner     $195,471(1)
                                                              ========
                 (1)  This amount does not include the General Partner's share
                 of cash distributions made to all partners.

Item 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

     (a)  As of December 31, 1999, there was no person or group known to the
     Fund that owned more than 5% of the Fund's outstanding securities either
     beneficially or of record.

     (b)  In 1988, the General Partner contributed $1,000 to the capital of
     the Fund but it does not own any of the Fund's outstanding securities.
     No individual director or officer of F.L. Partnership Management, Inc.
     nor such directors or officers as a group, owns more than one percent of
     the Fund's outstanding securities.  The General Partner owns a general
     partnership interest which entitles it to receive 1% of cash distri-
     butions until the Limited Partners have received an amount equal to the
     purchase price of their Units plus a 10% cumulative compounded priority
     return; hereafter 10%.  The General Partner will also share in net income
     equal to the greater of its cash distributions or 1% of net income or to
     the extent there are losses, 1% of such losses.

     (c)  There are no arrangements known to the Fund that would, at any sub-
     sequent date, result in a change in control of the Fund.

Item 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

     During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Fund was charged $195,471 of
management fees by the General Partner.  The General Partner will continue to
receive 6% or 3% of rental payments on equipment under operating leases or
full pay-out leases, respectively, for administrative and management services
performed on behalf of the Fund.  Full pay-out leases are noncancellable leases
with initial lease terms in excess of 42 months for which rental payments
during the initial term are at least sufficient to recover the purchase price
of the equipment, including acquisition fees.  A majority of the direct financ-
ing leases in which the Fund has invested meet the criteria for a full pay-
out lease and pay a 3% management fee to the General Partner.  This manage-
ment 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.

Item 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

     The General Partner also receives 1% of cash distributions until the
Limited Partners have received an amount equal to the purchase price of their
Units plus a 10% cumulative compounded priority return.  Thereafter, the
General Partner will receive 10% of cash distributions.  During the year
ended December 31, 1999, the General Partner received $5,000 of cash distri-
butions.

     The Fund incurred $156,874 of reimbursable costs to the General Partner
and its parent company for services and materials provided in connection with
the administration of the Fund during 1999.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants


The Partners
Fidelity Leasing Income Fund V, L.P.


     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Fidelity Leasing
Income Fund V, L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related state-
ments of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ending December 31, 1999.  These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Fund'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 signifi-
cant 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 financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Leasing
Income Fund V, L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

     Fidelity Leasing Income Fund V, L.P. (the "Fund") was formed in January
1988.  The General Partner of the Fund is F.L. Partnership Management, Inc.
("FLPMI") which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Resource Leasing, Inc., a
wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc.  The Fund is managed by the
General Partner.  The Fund's limited partnership interests are not publicly
traded.  There is no market for the Fund's limited partnership interests and
it is unlikely that any will develop.  The Fund acquires computer equipment
including printers, tape and disk storage devices, data communications equip-
ment, computer terminals, technical workstations, networking equipment as well
as other electronic equipment that is leased to third parties throughout the
United States on a short-term basis.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Fund to concentrations
of credit risk consist principally of temporary cash investments.  The Fund
places its temporary investments in bank repurchase agreements and jumbo
savings accounts.

     Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables are
limited due to the dispersion of the Fund's lessees over different industries
and geographies.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     The Fund reviews its assets to determine if it has any long-lived assets
that are carried on the books for an amount that may not be recoverable.  If
it is determined that an asset's estimated future cash flows will not be suf-
ficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will be recorded.

Equipment Held for Sale or Lease

     Equipment held for sale or lease is carried at its estimated net realiz-
able value.

Use of Estimates

     In preparing financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, management is required to make estimates and assump-
tions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the dis-
closure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting for Leases

     The Fund's leasing operations consist of both operating and direct
financing leases.  Under the operating method of accounting for leases, the
cost of the leased equipment is recorded as an asset and depreciated on a

                                        F-7

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accounting for Leases (Continued)

straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, up to six years.  Acqui-
sition fees associated with lease placements are allocated to equipment when
purchased and depreciated as part of equipment cost.  Rental income consists
primarily of monthly periodic rentals due under the terms of the leases.
Generally, during the remaining terms of existing operating leases, the Fund
will not recover all of the undepreciated cost and related expenses of its
rental equipment and is prepared to remarket the equipment in future years.
Upon sale or other disposition of assets, the cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss, if
any, is reflected in income.

     Under the direct financing method of accounting for leases, income (the
excess of the aggregate future rentals and estimated unguaranteed residuals
upon expiration of the lease over the related equipment cost) is recognized
over the life of the lease using the interest method.

Income Taxes

     Federal and State income tax regulations provide that taxes on the income
or benefits from losses of the Fund are reportable by the partners in their
individual income tax returns.  Accordingly, no provision for such taxes has
been made in the accompanying financial statements.

Statements of Cash Flows

     For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Fund considers all
highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.

Net Income per Equivalent Limited Partnership Unit

     Net income per equivalent limited partnership unit is computed by
dividing net income allocated to limited partners by the weighted average
number of equivalent limited partnership units outstanding during the year.
The weighted average number of equivalent units outstanding during the year
is computed based on the weighted average monthly limited partners' capital
account balances, converted into equivalent units at $500 per unit.

Significant Fourth Quarter Adjustments

     Currently, the Fund's practice is to review the recoverability of its
undepreciated costs of rental equipment quarterly.  The Fund's policy, as part
of this review, is to analyze such factors as releasing of equipment, techno-
logical developments and information provided in third party publications.
Based upon this review, there were no significant fourth quarter adjustments
made in 1999 and 1997.  However, the Fund recorded an adjustment of approx-
imately $32,000 or $1.27 per equivalent limited partnership unit to write down
its rental equipment in the fourth quarter of 1998.

3.  YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

     The "Year 2000 Issue" addresses the ability of computer programs to
distinguish between the year 2000 and the year 1900.  Computer programs were
written using two digits rather than four digits for the year in a date field.
This could ultimately result in miscalculations or inaccuracies in processing
data.

     The Fund's operating system is Year 2000 capable.  Additionally, all of
the main software systems used to generate information for the Fund are Year
2000 compliant.

     The costs incurred to make the software systems Year 2000 compliant were
not material as of December 31, 1999.

     Furthermore, all significant outside suppliers have been contacted to
ensure that their systems were Year 2000 compliant.  The Fund has not experi-
enced any problems with outside suppliers regarding Year 2000 compliance
issues.

4.  ALLOCATION OF PARTNERSHIP INCOME, LOSS AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

     Cash distributions, if any, are made quarterly as follows: 99% to the
Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner, until the Limited Partners
have received an amount equal to the purchase price of their Units, plus a 10%
compounded priority return (an amount equal to 10% compounded annually on the
portion of the purchase price not previously distributed); thereafter, 90% to
the Limited Partners and 10% to the General Partner.

     Net Losses are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the
General Partner.  The General Partner is allocated Net Income equal to its
cash distributions, but not less than 1% of Net Income, with the balance allo-
cated to the Limited Partners.

     Net Income (Losses) allocated to the Limited Partners are allocated to
individual limited partners based on the ratio of the daily weighted average
partner's net capital account balance (after deducting related commission
expense) to the total daily weighted average of the Limited Partners' net
capital account balances.

5.  EQUIPMENT LEASED

     Equipment on lease consists of equipment under operating leases.  The
lessees have agreements with the manufacturer of the equipment to provide
maintenance for the leased equipment.  The Fund's operating leases are for
initial lease terms of 10 to 36 months.

     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, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, approxi-
mately $92,000, $247,000 and $62,000, respectively was charged to write-down

5.  EQUIPMENT LEASED (Continued)

of equipment to net realizable value.  Any future losses are dependent upon
technological developments affecting the equipment in subsequent years.

     Unguaranteed residuals for direct financing leases represent the
estimated amounts recoverable at lease termination from lease extensions or
disposition of the equipment.  The Fund reviews these residual values
quarterly.  If the equipment's fair market value at lease expiration is below
the estimated residual value, an adjustment is made.

     The net investment in direct financing leases as of December 31, 1999 is
as follows:

              Minimum lease payments to be received            $3,156,000
              Unguaranteed residuals                              387,000

     The future approximate minimum rentals to be received on noncancellable
operating and direct financing leases as of December 31 are as follows:

under operating leases and full pay-out leases, respectively, for adminis-
trative 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 acquisition 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.

6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (Continued)

     The General Partner may also receive up to 3% of the proceeds from the
sale of the Fund's equipment for services and activities to be performed in
connection with the disposition of equipment.  The payment of this sales fee
is deferred until the Limited Partners have received cash distributions equal
to the purchase price of their units plus a 10% cumulative compounded priority
return.  Based on current estimates, it is not expected that the Fund will be
required to pay the General Partner a sales fee.

     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 charged by the General Partner or its parent
company during the years ended December 31:
