During September and November of 1995, the Partnership transferred its
ownership interest in certain trailers, previously leased to The Atchison Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad, having a net book value of $70,221, to a third party for
cash consideration of $143,500 which resulted in a net gain of $73,279. In
December 1995, the Partnership replaced a portion of the trailers with
comparable trailers and leased such trailers to a new lessee. The transaction
was accounted for as a like-kind exchange for income tax reporting purposes. The
cost of the new trailers, $341,383, was reduced by $41,733, representing the
amount of gain deferred on the original trailers. The Partnership funded this
transaction with $80,961 of cash consideration and long-term financing of
$260,422. The remaining gain of $31,546 was deferred in anticipation of
completing an additional like-kind exchange in 1996 and was reported as Other
Liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 1995. During
the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership elected not to replace
the remaining trailers and, accordingly, the remaining deferred gain of $31,546
was recognized as Gain on Sale of Equipment on the Statement of Operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. In addition, the remaining cash
consideration of $62,539 from the original transaction, which was reported as
Contractual Right for Equipment on the Statement of Financial Position at
December 31, 1995, was recognized as proceeds from equipment sales.
At March 31, 1996, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment
having a proportionate original cost of $28,101,922, representing approximately
78% of total equipment cost.
The summary above includes equipment held for re-lease or sale with a cost and
net book value of approximately $8,878,000 and $1,133,000, respectively, at
March 31, 1996. The equipment includes the Partnership's proportionate interest
in a Boeing 727-251 Advanced aircraft (the "Aircraft"), formerly leased to
Northwest Airlines, Inc., having a cost and net book value of $5,827,110 and
$608,408, respectively, at March 31, 1996. This aircraft was returned upon
expiration of its lease term on November 30, 1995 and is currently undergoing
heavy maintenance expected to cost the Partnership approximately $360,000, all
of which was accrued during the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
Partnership entered into a new 28-month lease agreement with Transmeridian
Airlines to release the Aircraft at a base rent to the Partnership of $42,900
per month upon completion of the heavy maintenance.

Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which requires impairment
losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated
by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. Statement 121 also
addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed
of. Adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Partnership.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to either
AFG or to a lender. AFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate
interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At March
31, 1996, the Partnership was owed $178,647 by AFG for such funds and the
interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in April 1996.
NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
- - ----------------------
Notes payable at March 31, 1996 consisted of installment notes of $1,062,272
payable to banks and institutional lenders. All of the installment notes are
non-recourse, with interest rates ranging between 7.04% and 10.12%, except one
note which bears a fluctuating interest rate based on the London Inter-Bank
Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.5%. At March 31, 1996, the applicable LIBOR
adjusted rate was approximately 7.06%. The installment notes are collateralized
by the equipment and assignment of the related lease payments and will be fully
amortized by noncancellable rents. The carrying value of notes payable
approximates fair value at March 31, 1996.

Overview
- - --------
As an equipment leasing partnership, the Partnership was organized to acquire
a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to lease agreements with
third parties. The Partnership was designed to progress through three principal
phases: acquisitions, operations, and liquidation. During the operations phase,
a period of approximately six years, all equipment in the Partnership's
portfolio will progress through various stages. Initially, all equipment will
generate rental revenues under primary term lease agreements. During the life of
the Partnership, these agreements will expire on an intermittent basis and
equipment held pursuant to the related leases will be renewed, re-leased or
sold, depending on prevailing market conditions and the assessment of such
conditions by AFG to obtain the most advantageous economic benefit. Over time, a
greater portion of the Partnership's original equipment portfolio will become
available for remarketing and cash generated from operations and from sales or
refinancings will begin to fluctuate. Ultimately, all equipment will be sold and
the Partnership will be dissolved. The Partnership's operations commenced in
1989.
Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership recognized lease
revenue of $720,593 compared to $1,269,556 for the same period in 1995. The
decrease in lease revenue from 1995 to 1996 was expected and resulted
principally from primary lease term expirations, including leases with Northwest
Airlines, Inc. (Northwest), and the sale of equipment. The Partnership also
earns interest income from temporary investments of rental receipts and
equipment sales proceeds in short-term instruments.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which the
Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by AFG or an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by AFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership to
further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the ownership of
selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could result
from a concentration in any single equipment type, industry or lessee. The
Partnership and each affiliate individually report, in proportion to their
respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership sold equipment
having a net book value of $17,203 to existing lessees and third parties. These
sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $110,297
compared to a net gain of $123,878 on equipment having a net book value of
$304,622 for the same period in 1995.
During 1995, the Partnership transferred its ownership interest in certain
trailers previously leased to The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. The
Partnership intended to replace all of the trailers with comparable trailers and
account for the transaction as a like-kind exchange for income tax reporting
purposes, a portion of which was completed in 1995. A gain of $31,546,
pertaining to the trailers which had not been exchanged in 1995, was deferred in
anticipation of completing the exchange in 1996. This amount was reported as
Other Liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 1995.
During the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership elected not to
replace the remaining trailers and, accordingly, the remaining deferred gain of
$31,546 was recognized as Gain on Sale of Equipment on the Statement of
Operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996. In addition, the remaining
cash consideration of $62,539 from the original transaction, which was reported
as Contractual Right for Equipment on the Statement of Financial Position at
December 31, 1995, was recognized as proceeds from equipment sales. See Note 4
to the financial statements for additional discussion of this transaction.

AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
It cannot be determined whether future sales of equipment will result in a net
gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such transactions will be dependent
upon the condition and type of equipment being sold and its marketability at the
time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain or loss reported for financial
statement purposes is partly a function of the amount of accumulated
depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including AFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. AFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership classifies
such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the amount of gain
or loss reported in the financial statements is not necessarily indicative of
the total residual value the Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense was $676,965 and $850,272 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, to the
extent that an asset is held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates
the difference between (i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual
value of the asset on a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this
policy, estimated residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the
date of primary lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its
primary lease term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net
book value of the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining
economic life.
Interest expense was $18,600 or 2.6% of lease revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 compared to $47,734 or 3.8% of lease revenue for the same
period in 1995. Interest expense in future periods will continue to decline in
amount and as a percentage of lease revenue as the principal balance of notes
payable is reduced through the application of rent receipts to outstanding debt.
Management fees were 5.8% of lease revenue for the three months ended March
31, 1996 compared to 4.3% of lease revenue for the same period in 1995.
Management fees during the three months ended March 31, 1996 include $7,780,
resulting from an underaccrual in 1995. Management fees are based on 5% of gross
lease revenue generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenue
generated by full payout leases.
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges, professional
service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing, distribution
and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment storage or repairs and
maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with equipment being remarketed.
The increase in operating expenses from 1995 to 1996 was due primarily to heavy
maintenance costs of approximately $666,000 incurred or accrued in connection
with certain of the Partnership's Boeing 727 aircraft. The amount of future
operating expenses cannot be predicted with certainty; however, such expenses
are usually higher during the acquisition and liquidation phases of a
partnership. Other fluctuations typically occur in relation to the volume and
timing of remarketing activities.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
- - ------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was established
for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". As an equipment
leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities derive from
asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of
cash from operations is provided by the collection of periodic rents. These cash
inflows are used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with leveraged
leases, and to pay management fees and operating costs. Operating activities
generated net cash inflows of $579,580 and $2,350,004 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment
sale activities will continue to cause a gradual decline in the Partnership's
lease revenue and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities will also continue to decline as the Partnership
experiences a higher frequency of remarketing events.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This will
occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be sold to
the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur upon
expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of an
asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the collection of
stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions contained in the
underlying lease agreements.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the three months
ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership realized $190,039 in equipment sale
proceeds compared to $428,500 for the same period in 1995. Future inflows of
cash from asset disposals will vary in timing and amount and will be influenced
by many factors including, but not limited to, the frequency and timing of lease
expirations, the type of equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future
market conditions.
On November 30, 1995, upon the expiration of its lease term, Northwest
Airlines, Inc. ("Northwest"), returned a Boeing 727-251 Advanced aircraft (the
"Aircraft") in which the Partnership has a 60% ownership interest with a cost
and net book value of $5,827,110 and $608,408, respectively, at March 31, 1996.
The Aircraft is currently undergoing heavy maintenance expected to cost the
Partnership approximately $360,000, all of which was accrued during the three
months ended March 31, 1996. The Partnership entered into a new 28-month lease
agreement with Transmeridian Airlines to release the Aircraft at a base rent to
the Partnership of $42,900 per month upon completion of the heavy maintenance. A
second aircraft, in which the Partnership has a 10.36% ownership interest, will
be returned by Northwest upon the expiration of its lease on December 31, 1996.
The Partnership's interest in the aircraft had a cost and net book value of
$1,202,082 and $217,096, respectively, at March 31, 1996.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The origination of such indebtedness and the subsequent
repayments of principal are reported as components of financing activities.
During the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Partnership had cash inflows
of $789,005 which resulted from leveraging a portion of the Partnership's
equipment portfolio with third-party lenders. The Partnership obtained no long-
term financing during the same period in 1996. Each note payable is recourse
only to the specific equipment financed and to the minimum rental payments
contracted to be received during the debt amortization period (which period
generally coincides with the lease rental term). As rental payments are
collected, a portion or all of the rental payment is used to repay the
associated indebtedness. In future periods, the amount of cash used to repay
debt obligations will continue to decline as the principal balance of notes
payable is reduced through the collection and application of rents.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners are declared
and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar
quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a component of
financing activities. For the three months ended March 31, 1996, the Partnership
declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From Operations and
Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $611,026. In accordance with
the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership, the
Recognized Owners were allocated 95% of these distributions, or $580,475, and
the General Partner was allocated 5%, or $30,551. The first quarter 1996 cash
distribution was paid on April 15, 1996.
Cash distributions paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return of
and a return on capital. To the extent that cash distributions consist of Cash
From Sales or Refinancings, substantially all of such cash distributions should
be viewed as a return of capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are
not indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset at
its disposal date. Future market conditions, technological changes, the ability
of AFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and
circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the
collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the foregoing
and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual rents and the
outcome of residual activities. The General Partner anticipates that cash
proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the Partnership's future
expense obligations. However, the amount of cash available for distribution in
future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease expirations and asset disposals
will cause the Partnership's net cash from operating activities to diminish over
time; and equipment sale proceeds will vary in amount and period of realization.
In addition, the Partnership may be required to incur asset refurbishment or
upgrade costs in connection with future remarketing activities. Accordingly,
fluctuations in the level of quarterly cash distributions will occur during the
life of the Partnership.
