                         POLARIS AIRCRAFT INCOME FUND V,
                        A California Limited Partnership

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.      Accounting Principles and Policies

In the opinion of management,  the financial statements presented herein include
all  adjustments,  consisting  only of  normal  recurring  items,  necessary  to
summarize fairly Polaris Aircraft Income Fund V's (the Partnership's)  financial
position and results of operations.  The financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the  instructions  of the Quarterly  Report to the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  (SEC)  Form  10-Q  and  do  not  include  all  of the
information  and note  disclosures  required by  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  These  statements  should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements  and notes thereto for the years ended  December 31, 1994,  1993, and
1992  included in the  Partnership's  1994 Annual Report to the SEC on Form 10-K
(Form 10-K).

Aircraft and  Depreciation  - The aircraft are recorded at cost,  which includes
acquisition costs. Depreciation to an estimated residual value is computed using
the straight-line  method over the estimated economic life of the aircraft which
was  originally  estimated  to  be  30  years  from  the  date  of  manufacture.
Depreciation in the year of acquisition was calculated  based upon the number of
days that the aircraft were in service.

The Partnership periodically reviews the estimated realizability of the residual
values at the end of each aircraft's  economic life based on estimated  residual
values  obtained from an  independent  party which  provides  current and future
estimated  aircraft  values by aircraft  type.  For any downward  adjustment  in
estimated  residual,  or decrease in the projected  remaining economic life, the
depreciation  expense  over the  projected  remaining  life of the  aircraft  is
increased.  If the  projected  net income  generated  from the lease  (projected
rental  revenue,  net of  management  fees,  less adjusted  depreciation  and an
allocation of estimated administrative expense) results in a net loss, that loss
will be  recognized  currently.  Off-lease  aircraft are carried at the lower of
depreciated cost or estimated net realizable value. A further adjustment is made
for those aircraft, if any, that require substantial maintenance work.

Capitalized  Costs -  Aircraft  modification  and  maintenance  costs  which are
determined  to increase  the value or extend the useful life of the aircraft are
capitalized  and  amortized  using the  straight-line  method over the estimated
useful  life of the  improvement.  These  costs  are also  subject  to  periodic
evaluation as discussed above.

Financial  Accounting  Pronouncements  - The  Partnership  adopted  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No. 114,  "Accounting  by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan," and the related SFAS No. 118 as of January 1, 1995.  SFAS
No. 114 and SFAS No. 118 require that certain  impaired  loans be measured based
on the present value of expected cash flows  discounted at the loan's  effective
interest rate; or,  alternatively,  at the loan's observable market price or the
fair  value  of  the  collateral  if  the  loan  is  collateral  dependent.  The
Partnership  had  previously  measured  the  allowance  for credit  losses using
methods similar to that  prescribed in SFAS No. 114. As a result,  no additional
provision was required by the adoption of this  pronouncement.  The  Partnership
has  recorded an  allowance  for credit  losses  equal to the full amount of the
following  impaired loans as a result of issues regarding their collection.  The
Partnership recognizes revenue on these loans only as payments are received.


                                       7

<PAGE>



As  discussed  in Note 3,  the  Partnership  negotiated  a sale  to  Empresa  de
Transporte  Aereo del Peru S.A.  (Aeroperu) for two Boeing  727-100  aircraft in
1993.  The  Partnership  agreed  to  accept  payment  of  the  sales  prices  of
approximately  $699,000 and $639,000 in 36 monthly  installments  of $23,000 and
$21,000, respectively, with interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Partnership
recorded a note  receivable  and an  allowance  for credit  losses  equal to the
discounted  sales prices.  Gain on sale of the aircraft and interest  revenue is
recognized  as payments are  received.  In addition,  the notes  receivable  and
corresponding  allowances for credit losses are reduced by the principal portion
of payments  received.  The balances of the notes  receivable and  corresponding
allowances for credit losses were $495,223 and $865,057 as of September 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994, respectively.

SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial  Instruments," requires
the  Partnership to disclose the fair value of financial  instruments.  Cash and
Cash  Equivalents is stated at cost,  which  approximates  fair value.  The fair
value of the notes receivable is estimated by discounting  future estimated cash
flows  using  current  interest  rates at which  similar  loans would be made to
borrowers  with similar credit  ratings and remaining  maturities.  The carrying
value of the note  receivable  from American Trans Air, Inc. (ATA)  discussed in
Note 2 below  approximates  its estimated fair value.  As discussed  above,  the
carrying  value of the note  receivable  from Aeroperu is zero due to a recorded
allowance  for credit  losses equal to the balance of the note.  As of September
30,  1995,  the  aggregate  fair  value of the  Aeroperu  notes  receivable  was
estimated to be from $250,000 to $300,000.


2.      Lease to ATA

As discussed in the Form 10-K,  the  Partnership  negotiated a seven-year  lease
with ATA for three Boeing 727-200 Advanced  aircraft formerly on lease to USAir,
Inc. The leases began in February and March 1993.  ATA was not required to begin
making cash rental  payments  until January and February 1994,  although  rental
revenue is to be recognized over the entire lease term. The leases are renewable
for up to three  one-year  periods.  ATA  transferred to the  Partnership  three
unencumbered  Boeing  727-100  aircraft  as part of the lease  transaction.  The
Partnership has sold these aircraft as discussed in Note 3 and in the Form 10-K.

Under the ATA lease,  the  Partnership  may be  required  to finance up to three
aircraft  hushkits  for use on the aircraft at an  estimated  aggregate  cost of
approximately  $7.5  million,  which will be partially  recovered  with interest
through  payments from ATA over an extended lease term. The  Partnership  loaned
$556,000 to ATA in 1993 to finance the purchase by ATA of one spare engine. This
loan is reflected as a note receivable in the accompanying  balance sheets.  The
Partnership has received all scheduled principal and interest payments due under
the note.  The balances of the note at September  30, 1995 and December 31, 1994
were $405,481 and $459,552, respectively.


3.      Sale to Aeroperu

In August  1993,  the  Partnership  negotiated  a sale to Aeroperu of two of the
Boeing 727-100 aircraft that were  transferred to the Partnership  under the ATA
lease (Note 2). The  Partnership  agreed to accept payment of the sale prices of
approximately  $699,000 and $639,000 in 36 monthly  installments  of $23,000 and
$21,000, respectively, with interest at a rate of 12% per annum. Gain on sale of
the aircraft and interest  revenue will be  recognized as payments are received.
The security  deposit of $44,000  posted by Aeroperu will be applied to the last
installment  due August 1996,  at which time title to the aircraft will transfer
to Aeroperu.  During the nine months ended  September 30, 1995, the  Partnership
received principal and interest payments due from Aeroperu totaling $440,000, of

                                        8

<PAGE>



which  $369,834 was recorded as gain on sale in the nine months ended  September
30, 1995  statement of  operations.  As of September 30, 1995,  Aeroperu had not
paid to the Partnership the monthly  payments due for August and September 1995.
Aeroperu has since paid one of the past due installments as discussed in Note 5.


4.      Related Parties

Under the Limited Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership paid or agreed to pay
the following  amounts for the current quarter to the general  partner,  Polaris
Investment  Management  Corporation,  in connection  with  services  rendered or

5.      Subsequent Events

Southwest Lease Extension - The leases of three Boeing 737-200 Advanced aircraft
to Southwest expire in November 1995. The Partnership has negotiated a letter of
intent to extend the leases with  Southwest for the three aircraft for a term of
one  year at a  rental  rate  of  $75,000  per  aircraft  per  month,  which  is
approximately 136% of the prior rate.

Payment from  Aeroperu - As discussed in Note 3, at September  30, 1995 Aeroperu
had not paid to the Partnership two of the monthly installments due in the third
quarter of 1995.  Aeroperu has since paid one of the installments past due as of
September 30, 1995.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
        of Operations

Polaris  Aircraft  Income Fund V (the  Partnership)  owns a portfolio of 16 used
commercial  jet  aircraft,  including  two such  aircraft  that are subject to a
conditional  sale  agreement as discussed  below.  The portfolio  includes seven
Boeing 737-200 Advanced aircraft leased to Southwest  Airlines Co.  (Southwest),
three Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft leased to American Trans Air, Inc. (ATA),
two Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft leased to Sun Country  Airlines,  Inc. (Sun
Country),  one Boeing  747-100  Special  Freighter  aircraft  leased to American
International  Airways Limited (AIA),  and one Boeing 747-100 Special  Freighter
aircraft  leased to Polar Air Cargo,  Inc. (Polar Air Cargo).  In addition,  the
Partnership  retains  title to two  Boeing  727-100  aircraft  of the three such
Boeing 727-100  aircraft that ATA  transferred to the Partnership as part of the
ATA lease  transaction  in 1993,  subject to a  conditional  sale  agreement  to
Empresa de Transporte Aereo del Peru S.A.  (Aeroperu).  The sale was financed by
the  Partnership  and title will transfer to Aeroperu in August 1996 if Aeroperu
performs its payment obligations.  The Partnership sold the remaining former ATA
Boeing 727-100 aircraft in August 1994 to Sunrise Partners, Inc.


Remarketing Update

The leases of three Boeing  737-200  Advanced  aircraft to  Southwest  expire in
November 1995. The  Partnership  has negotiated a letter of intent to extend the
leases with  Southwest for the three aircraft for a term of one year at a rental
rate of $75,000 per aircraft per month, which is approximately 136% of the prior
rate.


Partnership Operations

The  Partnership  recorded  net  income  of  $620,498,   or  $0.73  per  limited
partnership unit, for the three months ended September 30, 1995, compared to net
income  of  $1,294,327,  or $2.06  per unit,  for the same  period in 1994.  The
Partnership  recorded net income of $452,139,  or an allocated net loss of $0.60
per limited  partnership  unit,  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1995,
compared to net income of $1,548,647,  or $1.57 per unit, for the same period in
1994. The significant  decline in operating results in the three and nine months
ended  September  30, 1995 compared to the same periods of 1994 is due primarily
to substantially lower rental revenues in 1995.

Rental revenues, net of related management fees, decreased  significantly during
the three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 as  compared to the same
periods in 1994 as a result of  Partnership  aircraft  re-leased  at lower lease
rates. The leases of four Boeing 737-200 Advanced  aircraft to Southwest,  which
expired in September 1994, were extended for four years at approximately  39% of
the prior rates. In addition, two Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft,  formerly on
lease to Alaska Airlines,  Inc.  (Alaska),  were leased to Sun Country for three
years beginning in October 1993 at  approximately  43% of the prior Alaska rate,
although Alaska paid the difference between its contractual rate and the new Sun
Country  rate  through  the end of  Alaska's  original  lease  term in May 1994.
Finally,  the Boeing 747-100 Special  Freighter  aircraft,  on lease to AIA at a
variable rate based on usage,  underwent  certain  maintenance and  modification
work for  approximately  35 days during the first quarter of 1995,  recording no
flight hours thus generating no rental revenue during this maintenance period.

Partially  offsetting  the lower  rental  revenue  in 1995,  operating  expenses
declined  substantially  during the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 as
compared to the same period in 1994.  Operating  expenses during the nine months
ended  September 30, 1994  were approximately  $2.1 million.  The 1994 operating

                                       10

<PAGE>



expenses primarily include maintenance  expenses incurred for two engines on the
Boeing 747-100 Special Freighter  aircraft currently on lease to Polar Air Cargo
and expenses  related to the leases with  Southwest  which,  as described in the
Form  10-K,   provide  for  the  Partnership  to  incur  maintenance  costs.  In
comparison,  operating  expenses in the current  year-to-date  period  primarily
include heavy  maintenance  costs of  approximately  $267,000  recognized in the
first quarter of 1995 that the  Partnership  incurred on the two Boeing  727-200
Advanced aircraft leased to Sun Country in accordance with the lease.

Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121,  "Accounting  for the
Impairment of Long- Lived Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable  intangibles to be held
and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment  whenever  events or changes in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable.  This Statement will be adopted by the Partnership as of January 1,
1996 and will be applied prospectively.  Management is gathering information and
evaluating the requirements of the Statement,  but has not determined the impact
of its  application  on the  Partnership's  financial  position  or  results  of
operations.


Liquidity and Cash Distributions

Liquidity - The  Partnership  continues  to receive all lease  payments due on a
current  basis,  with  the  exception  of  installment  sale  payments  due from
Aeroperu,  which have not been made on a timely basis. The Partnership  receives
maintenance  reserve payments from certain of its lessees that may be reimbursed
to the lessee or applied  against  certain costs incurred by the Partnership for
maintenance work performed on the  Partnership's  aircraft,  as specified in the
leases.  Maintenance  reserve balances remaining at the termination of the lease
may be  used  by the  Partnership  to  offset  future  maintenance  expenses  or
recognized as revenue. The net maintenance reserve balances aggregate $3,510,496
as of September 30, 1995.

The ATA leases specify the Partnership may finance up to three aircraft hushkits
at an estimated  aggregate  cost of  approximately  $7.5 million,  which will be
partially  recovered  with interest  through  payments from ATA over an extended
lease  term.  The  Partnership's  cash  reserves  are  being  retained  to cover
maintenance  costs  the  Partnership  has  agreed  to  incur on  certain  of its
aircraft,  as discussed  in the Form 10-K,  and to finance a portion of the cost
that may be incurred under the leases with ATA.

Cash  Distributions - Cash  distributions  to limited  partners during the three
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were  $2,500,000,  or $5.00 per limited
partnership unit, for each period. Cash distributions to limited partners during
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 were $7,500,000, or $15.00 per
limited   partnership  unit,  for  each  period.   The  amount  of  future  cash
distributions  will depend  upon the  Partnership's  future  cash  requirements;
receipt of rental payments from Southwest, ATA, Sun Country, Polar Air Cargo and
AIA; and the receipt of sale proceeds from Aeroperu.

                           Part II. Other Information


Item 1.         Legal Proceedings

As  discussed  in Item 3 of Part I of  Polaris  Aircraft  Income  Fund  V's (the
Partnership) 1994 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC)
on Form 10-K (Form 10-K) and in Item 1 of Part II of the Partnership's Quarterly
Reports  to the SEC on Form 10-Q for the  period  ended  March 31,  1995 and the
period ended June 30, 1995,  respectively,  there are a number of pending  legal
actions or proceedings  involving the  Partnership.  Except as described  below,
there have been no material  developments  with  respect to any such  actions or
proceedings during the period covered by this report.

Reuben  Riskind,  et al. v.  Prudential  Securities,  Inc.,  et al. - Prudential
Securities,  Inc. has reached a settlement with the plaintiffs. The trial of the
claims of one plaintiff, Robert W. Wilson, against Polaris Aircraft Income Funds
I - VI, their general  partner  Polaris  Investment  Management  Corporation and
various  affiliates  of Polaris  Investment  Management  Corporation,  including
General  Electric Capital  Corporation,  was commenced on July 10, 1995. On July
26, 1995,  the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendants on all counts.
Subsequent to this verdict,  all of the remaining defendants (with the exception
of Prudential  Securities,  Inc.  which had previously  settled)  entered into a
settlement with the plaintiffs.

Adams,  et al. v. Prudential  Securities,  Inc., et al. - The Judicial Panel has
transferred  the  action to the  Multi-District  Litigation  filed in the United
States District Court for the Southern  District of New York, which is described
in Item 10 of Part III of the Partnership's 1994 Form 10-K.

Other  Proceedings  - Item 10 in Part III of the  Partnership's  1994  Form 10-K
discusses  certain  actions  which have been filed  against  Polaris  Investment
Management  Corporation  and others in connection  with the sale of interests in
the  Partnership  and the management of the  Partnership.  With the exception of
Novak, et al v. Polaris Holding  Company,  et al, where the Partnership is named
as a defendant,  the  Partnership is not a party to these  actions.  In Novak, a
derivative  action,  the  Partnership  is named as a  defendant  for  procedural
purposes,  but the  plaintiffs  in such  lawsuit  do not seek an award  from the
Partnership. Except as described below, there have been no material developments
with respect to any of the actions  described  therein during the period covered
by this report.

Bashein, et al. v. Kidder,  Peabody & Company Inc., et al. - On October 2, 1995,
the Court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss.

offerings of Polaris  Aircraft Income Fund II, Polaris Aircraft Income Fund III,
Polaris   Aircraft  Income  Fund  IV,  Polaris  Aircraft  Income  Fund  VI,  and
P-Bache/A.G.  Spanos Genesis Income Partners LP 1. Plaintiff seeks  compensatory
damages,  general,  consequential  and  incidental  damages,  punitive  damages,

                                       12

<PAGE>



rescission,  costs,  attorneys'  fees and other and further  relief as the Court
deems just and  proper.  The  Partnership  is not named as a  defendant  in this
action.  On  September  15, 1995,  defendants  removed this action to the United
States  District  Court,  Eastern  District  of Ohio.  On  September  18,  1995,
defendants sought the transfer of this action to the  Multi-District  Litigation
and  sought a stay of all  proceedings  by the  district  court,  which stay was
granted on September 25, 1995. The Judicial Panel conditionally transferred this
action to the Multi-District Litigation on October 13, 1995.

Harrison v. General Electric Company,  et al. - On or around September 27, 1995,
a complaint entitled Martha J. Harrison v. General Electric Company, et al., was
filed in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana.
The  complaint  names as  defendants  General  Electric  Company and  Prudential
Securities  Incorporated.  Plaintiff alleges claims of tort, breach of fiduciary
duty  in  tort,  contract  and  quasi-contract,  violation  of  sections  of the
Louisiana Blue Sky Law and violation of the Louisiana  Civil Code concerning the
inducement and  solicitation of purchases  arising out of the public offering of
Polaris  Aircraft  Income  Fund  IV.  Plaintiff  seeks   compensatory   damages,
attorney's  fees,  interest,  costs and general  relief.  The Partnership is not
named as a defendant in this action.

In re: Prudential Securities Limited Partnerships  (Multi-District Litigation) -
Prudential  Securities,  Inc. on behalf of itself and its affiliates has made an
Offer of  Settlement.  A class has been certified for purposes of the Prudential
Settlement  and  notice to the class has been  sent.  Any  questions  concerning
Prudential's Offer of Settlement should be directed to 1-800- 327-3664, or write
