                        A California Limited Partnership

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

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

Form 10-K.


2.      Related Parties

Under the Limited Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership paid or agreed to pay

Investment  Management  Corporation,  in connection  with  services  rendered or

                                              Payments for

3.      Partners' Capital

The Partnership  Agreement (the Agreement) stipulates different methods by which
revenue,  income  and  loss  from  operations  and  gain or loss on the  sale of
aircraft are to be allocated  to the general  partner and the limited  partners.
Such  allocations are made using income or loss  calculated  under GAAP for book
purposes, which varies from income or loss calculated for tax purposes.

Cash  available  for  distributions,  including  the  proceeds  from the sale of
aircraft,  is  distributed  10% to the  general  partner  and 90% to the limited
partners.

The different methods of allocating items of income, loss and cash available for
distribution  combined with the calculation of items of income and loss for book


                                       7
<PAGE>

and  tax  purposes  result  in  book  basis  capital   accounts  that  may  vary
significantly  from tax basis capital  accounts.  The ultimate  liquidation  and
distribution  of remaining cash will be based on the tax basis capital  accounts
following liquidation, in accordance with the Agreement.

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

As discussed below under "Liquidity and Cash Distributions",  Polaris Investment
Management  Corporation  (PIMC or the  General  Partner),  is in the  process of
winding up the  business of Polaris  Aircraft  Income Fund V (the  Partnership).
During 1997, the  Partnership  sold its remaining  portfolio of 13 used aircraft
out of its original portfolio of 14 aircraft.


Partnership Operations

The  Partnership  reported  net  income  of  $166,965,   or  $0.33  per  limited
partnership  unit,  for the three months  ended March 31, 1998,  compared to net
income  of  $1,704,730,  or $2.88  per unit,  for the same  period in 1997.  The
significant  decline in  operating  results for the three months ended March 31,
1998,  compared to the same period in 1997,  is due primarily to the sale of the
Partnership's remaining aircraft in 1997 as discussed above.

Interest income  decreased during the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared
to the same period in 1997, due to the repayment of a note  receivable  from AIA
in November 1997.

Operating  expenses  decreased  during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998
compared  to the  same  period  in 1997.  The  decrease  was due to  maintenance
expenses  recorded  during the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997  related to
aircraft sold to AIA and Triton during 1997.  Partially offsetting this decrease
was an increase in legal  expenses  during the three months ended March 31, 1998
related to the sale of aircraft to Triton.

Administration  and other expenses increased during the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997,  due to  increases  in printing
and postage costs related to an additional distribution.


Liquidity and Cash Distributions

Liquidity - As previously discussed, the Partnership sold its remaining aircraft
during 1997. Polaris Investment Management Corporation, the general partner, has
determined that the  Partnership  maintain cash reserves as a prudent measure to
ensure  that  the  Partnership  has  available   sufficient   funds  to  satisfy
anticipated  contingencies  and  expenses  in  connection  with  winding  up its
business.  The Partnership's  cash reserves will be monitored and may be revised
from time to time as further information becomes available in the future.

Cash  Distributions - Cash  distributions  to limited  partners during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 were $46,930,000,  or $93.86 per limited partnership
unit, compared to $2,500,000,  or $5.00 per limited partnership unit, during the
three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase,  as compared to 1997, is due to
the distribution of the proceeds received from the prepayment of a note due from
Triton  Aviation  Services V LLC on December 30, 1997. The Partnership is now in
the  process  of  winding  up its  business.  With  the  exception  of  reserves
maintained  for  anticipated  expenses and costs of winding up, the  Partnership
distributed all of its available cash during 1997 and the first quarter of 1998.
Consequently the timing and amount of future cash distributions, if any, are not
yet known and will depend upon  whether the  Partnership's  reserves  exceed its
actual  expenses  and  contingencies  in winding up and on the time  required to
complete the winding up process.
