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, 1995, 1994, and
1993 included in the Partnership's 1995 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 projected end of each aircraft's economic life based on estimated
residual values obtained from independent parties which provide current and
future estimated aircraft values by aircraft type. For any downward adjustment
in estimated residual value or decrease in the projected remaining economic
life, the depreciation expense over the projected remaining economic life of the
aircraft is increased.
If the projected net cash flow for each aircraft (projected rental revenue, net
of management fees, less projected maintenance costs, if any, plus the estimated
residual value) is less than the carrying value of the aircraft, an impairment
loss is recognized. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, as discussed below, measurement of an impairment loss will be
based on the "fair value" of the asset as defined in the statement.
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 - 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 Partnership's 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. As discussed in Note 3, the carrying
value of the note receivable from Empresa de Transporte Aereo del Peru S.A.
(Aeroperu) is zero due to a recorded allowance for credit losses equal to the
balance of the note. As of March 31, 1996, the aggregate fair value of the
Aeroperu notes receivable was estimated to be approximately $150,000.
7
<PAGE>
The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," as of January 1,
1996. This statement 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. The Partnership estimates that this pronouncement will
not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations unless events or circumstances change that would cause projected net
cash flows to be adjusted. No impairment loss was recognized by the Partnership
during the first quarter of 1996.
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. 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 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 $7.8 million, which would 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. The
Partnership has received all scheduled payments due under the note. The balance
of the note at December 31, 1995 was $386,457. ATA paid the Partnership the
remaining note balance in full in March 1996.
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. The Partnership
recorded a note receivable and an allowance for credit losses equal to the
discounted sale prices. Gain on sale of the aircraft and interest revenue is
recognized as payments are received. The remaining balance of the security
deposit 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
three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership received principal and
interest payments from Aeroperu totaling $132,000, of which $121,904 was
recorded as gain on sale in the statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The notes receivable and corresponding allowances for
credit losses are reduced by the principal portion of payments received. As of
March 31, 1996, Aeroperu had not paid to the Partnership the monthly payments
due for February and March 1996 (Note 5). The balances of the notes receivable
and corresponding allowances for credit losses were $255,001 and $376,905 as of
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.

5. Subsequent Event
American International Airways Limited (AIA) Lease - The lease of one Boeing
747-100 Special Freighter with AIA expired on March 31, 1996. The lease was
extended for two months through May 31, 1996. The Partnership is currently in
discussions with AIA to extend the lease beyond the two-month period.

<PAGE>
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.
Remarketing Update
AIA Lease - The lease of one Boeing 747-100 Special Freighter with AIA expired
on March 31, 1996. The lease was extended for two months through May 31, 1996.
The Partnership is currently in discussions with AIA to extend the lease beyond
the two-month period.
Partnership Operations
The Partnership recorded net income of $542,886, or $0.57 per limited
partnership unit, for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to a net
loss of $361,479, or $1.22 per unit, for the same period in 1995. The
significant improvement in operating results in the three months ended March 31,
1996 compared to the same period in 1995 is due primarily to slightly higher
revenues combined with lower depreciation expense (as discussed in the
Partnership's 1995 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K) and lower operating expense in 1996.
Rental revenues, net of related management fees, increased slightly during the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The
leases of three Boeing 737-200 Advanced aircraft to Southwest expired in
November 1995. The leases were extended for a period of approximately one year
at 136% of the prior lease rate. In addition, the Partnership recognized
decreased revenues during the first quarter of 1995 on the Boeing 747- 100
Special Freighter aircraft on lease to AIA. This aircraft, which is leased at a
variable rent based on usage, underwent certain maintenance and modification
work for approximately 35 days during the first quarter of 1995 and recorded no
flight hours, thus generating no rental revenue, during this maintenance period.
Further impacting the improved operating results in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995 was a decline in operating expenses during
the first quarter of 1996. Operating expenses during the three months ended
March 31, 1995 include heavy maintenance costs of approximately $267,000 that
the Partnership incurred on the two Boeing 727-200 Advanced aircraft leased to
Sun Country in accordance with the lease. Current year operating expenses were
minimal in comparison.
10
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Cash Distributions
Liquidity -The Partnership continues to receive all lease payments on a current
basis, with the exception of 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. The net maintenance reserve
payments aggregate $3,784,750 as of March 31, 1996.
The Partnership's cash reserves are being retained to cover maintenance costs
the Partnership has agreed to incur on certain of its aircraft, to cover the
potential costs of remarketing the Boeing 747-100 Special Freighter aircraft
currently on lease to AIA, and to finance a portion of the hushkit costs that
may be incurred under the leases with ATA. The ATA leases specify the
Partnership may be required to finance certain aircraft hushkits at an aggregate
cost of approximately $7.8 million, which would be partially recovered with
interest through payments from ATA over an extended lease term.
Cash Distributions - Cash distributions to limited partners during the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were $2,500,000, or $5.00 per limited
partnership unit, for each period. The amount of future cash distributions will
depend upon the Partnership's future cash requirements including the potential
costs of remarketing the Partnership's aircraft, the receipt of the rental
payments from Southwest, ATA, Sun Country, Polar Air Cargo and AIA, the receipt
of sale proceeds from Aeroperu, and the Partnership's success in remarketing or
extending the lease for the Boeing 747-100 Special Freighter aircraft that is
currently on lease to AIA.
