NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2000
(Unaudited)
Note 1--Basis of Presentation
The financial statements presented herein are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions for preparing Form 10-Q under Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X
of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are unaudited. As such, these
financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures
required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 1999 Annual Report.
Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the
information presented in the footnotes to the 1999 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and results of operations
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 have been
made and are reflected.
Note 2--Cash
At September 30, 2000, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership
(the ``Partnership'') had $1,100,075 invested in federal agency discount notes,
repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S.
Government securities, or other highly liquid overnight investments.
Note 3--Revenue Recognition
Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly or quarterly and no
significant amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time.
The leases are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable. Rents
received prior to their due dates are deferred. In certain instances, the
Partnership may enter renewal or re-lease agreements which expire beyond the
Partnership's anticipated dissolution date. This circumstance is not expected to
prevent the orderly wind-up of the Partnership's business activities as the
General Partner and Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership (``EFG'') would
seek to sell the then-remaining equipment assets either to the lessee or to a
third party, taking into consideration the amount of future noncancellable
rental payments associated with the attendant lease agreements. See also see
Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the Partnership's 1999 Annual
Report regarding the Class Action Lawsuit. Future minimum rents of $111,117 are
due as follows:
For the year ending September 30,
2001............................ $ 84,032

Note 4--Equipment
The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at
September 30, 2000. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the
number of months remaining from September 30, 2000 under contracted lease terms
and is presented as a range when more than one lease agreement is contained in
the stated equipment category. A Remaining Lease Term equal to zero reflects
equipment either held for sale or re-lease or being leased on a month-to-month
basis. In the opinion of EFG, the acquisition cost of the equipment did not
exceed its fair market value.

==========
At September 30, 2000, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included
equipment having a proportionate original cost of $137,375, representing
approximately 12% of total equipment cost.
The summary above includes fully-depreciated equipment held for re-lease or
sale with an original cost of approximately $106,000. The General Partner is
actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all equipment not on lease.
Note 5--Investment in Real Estate Venture
On March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the
``Exchange Partnerships'') collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon
Residential Holdings LLC (``Echelon Residential Holdings''), a newly formed real
estate development company. Echelon Residential Holdings is owned by several
investors, including James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. Mr. Coyne,
in his individual capacity, is the only equity investor in Echelon Residential
Holdings related to EFG. In addition, certain affiliates of the General Partner
made loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their individual capacities.
The Partnership's participation in the loan is $2,730,000. Echelon
Residential Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential
LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, a Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a
term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual interest rate of
14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues
and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with the
transaction, six Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in
all of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in
Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Note 5--Investment in Real Estate Venture (continued)
Using the guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (``AICPA'') in February 1986
entitled ``ADC Arrangements'' (the ``Third Notice''), the Partnership has
evaluated this investment to determine whether loan, joint venture or real
estate accounting is appropriate. Such determination affects the Partnership's
balance sheet classification of the investment and the recognition of revenues
derived therefrom. The Third Notice was issued to address those real estate
acquisition, development and construction arrangements where a lender has
virtually the same risk and potential awards as those of owners or joint
ventures. Emerging Issues Task Force (``EITF'') 86-21, ``Application of the
AICPA Notice to Practitioners regarding Acquisition, Development and
Construction Arrangements to Acquisition of an Operating Property'' expanded the
applicability of the Third Notice to entities other than financial institutions.
Based on the applicability of the Third Notice, EITF 86-21 and
consideration of the economic substance of the transaction, the loan is
considered to be an investment in a real estate venture for accounting purposes.
In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 78-9,
``Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures'', the Partnership reports
its share of income or loss of Echelon Residential Holdings under the equity
method of accounting.
The Partnership's accompanying financial statements as of and for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 are presented in accordance with the
guidance above. The investment is net of the Partnership's share of losses in
this real estate venture. For the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings is
$44,260 and $61,762, respectively, and is reflected on the Statement of
Operations as ``Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's
loss''.
The summarized financial information for Echelon Residential Holdings as of
September 30, 2000 and for the period March 8, 2000 (commencement of operations)
through September 30, 2000 is as follows:

Note 7--Legal Proceedings
As described more fully in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a
Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly alter the nature
of the Partnership's organization and its future business operations.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Certain statements in this quarterly report of American Income Partners V-D
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") that are not historical fact
constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks
and uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made
herein. These factors include, but are not limited to, the outcome of the Class
Action Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report, the remarketing of the Partnership's
equipment, and the performance of the Partnership's non-equipment assets.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1999
The Partnership was organized in 1990 as a direct-participation equipment
leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject
to lease agreements with third parties. Presently, the Partnership is a Nominal
Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly
alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and its future business
operations. See Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Agreement
and Certificate of Limited Partnership ("the Restated Agreement, as amended"),
the Partnership is scheduled to be dissolved by December 31, 2001.
Results of Operations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $45,424 and $148,261, respectively, compared to
$53,406 and $184,573, respectively, for the same periods in 1999. The decrease
in lease revenue between 1999 and 2000 resulted primarily from lease term
expirations and the sale of equipment. In the future, lease revenue will
continue to decline due to lease term expirations and equipment sales.
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 an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG"). Proportionate
equipment ownership enabled the Partnership to further diversify its equipment
portfolio at inception by participating in the ownership of selected assets,
thereby reducing the general levels of risk which could have resulted 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.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 was
$19,619 and $82,279, respectively, compared to $48,635 and $138,460 for the same
periods in 1999. Interest income is typically generated from temporary
investment of rental receipts and equipment sale proceeds in short-term
instruments. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership utilized $2,730,000 of available
cash for a loan to Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential
Holdings"). (See Note 5 to the financial statements herein). The amount of
future interest income is expected to fluctuate as a result of changing interest
rates and the amount of cash available for investment, among other factors.
10
<PAGE>
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership
sold equipment having an aggregate net book value of $9,199 to existing lessees
and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement
purposes, of $5,244 and $8,944, respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Partnership
sold fully-depreciated equipment to existing lessees and third parties. These
sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $26,320 and
$174,923, respectively.
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 EFG'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. EFG 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 $15,616 and $47,898, respectively, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $16,141 and $48,422,
respectively, for the same periods in 1999. 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
equipment 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.
Management fees were $1,656 and $5,526, respectively, for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, compared to $2,025 and $7,312,
respectively, for the same periods in 1999. 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 were $89,748 and $163,132, respectively, for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $35,234 and $163,825,
respectively, for the same periods in 1999. Operating expenses in 2000 include
approximately $40,000 of costs incurred in connection with the Class Action
Lawsuit discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report. Operating expenses in 1999 included an
adjustment for 1998 actual administrative charges and third-party costs of
approximately $36,000. Operating expenses consist principally of administrative
charges, professional service costs, such as audit and other 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.

<PAGE>
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, the Partnership's
share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings were $44,260 and $61,762,
respectively, and are reflected on the Statement of Operations as
"Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's loss". See
further discussion below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity. 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 generally provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to pay management fees and operating costs.
Operating activities generated net cash inflows of $108,175 and $105,865 during
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Future renewal,
re-lease and equipment sale activities will cause a decline in the Partnership's
lease revenues 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 decline as the Partnership experiences a
higher frequency of remarketing events. See additional discussion below
regarding the loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings in
March 2000.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, the Partnership realized equipment sale
proceeds of $18,143 and $174,923, respectively. 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.
At September 30, 2000, the Partnership had aggregate future minimum lease
payments of $111,117 from contractual lease agreements (see Note 3 to the
financial statements herein). At the expiration of the individual lease terms
underlying the Partnership's future minimum lease payments, the Partnership will
sell the equipment or enter re-lease or renewal agreements when considered
advantageous by the General Partner and EFG. Such future remarketing activities
will result in the realization of additional cash inflows in the form of
equipment sale proceeds or rents from renewals and re-leases, the timing and
extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty. This is because the timing
and extent of remarketing events often is dependent upon the needs and interests
of the existing lessees. Some lessees may choose to renew their lease contracts,
while others may elect to return the equipment. In the latter instances, the
equipment could be re-leased to another lessee or sold to a third party.
In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for the Class Action
Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report, the Partnership is permitted to invest in new
equipment or other business activities, subject to certain limitations. On March
8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the "Exchange
Partnerships") collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential Holdings,
a newly-formed real estate development company owned by several investors,
including James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. Mr. Coyne, in his
individual capacity, is the only equity investor in Echelon Residential Holdings
related to EFG. In addition, certain affiliates of the General Partner made
loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their individual capacities.
The Partnership's participation in the loan is $2,730,000. Echelon
Residential Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential
LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, a Florida based real estate company. The loan has a
term of 30 months maturing on September 8, 2002 and bears interest at the annual
rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest
accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with the
transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in all
of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in Echelon
Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral.
As discussed in Note 5 to the Partnership's financial statements herein,
the loan is considered to be an investment in a real estate venture for
accounting purposes. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position
No. 78-9, "Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures", the
Partnership reports its share of income or loss of Echelon Residential Holdings
under the equity method of accounting.

There are no formal restrictions under the Restated Agreement, as amended,
that materially limit the Partnership's ability to pay cash distributions,
except that the General Partner may suspend or limit cash distributions to
ensure that the Partnership maintains sufficient working capital reserves to
cover, among other things, operating costs and potential expenditures, such as
refurbishment costs to remarket equipment upon lease expiration. Liquidity is
especially important as the Partnership matures and sells equipment, because the
remaining equipment base consists of fewer revenue-producing assets that are
available to cover prospective cash disbursements. Insufficient liquidity could
inhibit the Partnership's ability to sustain its operations or maximize the
realization of proceeds from remarketing its remaining assets.
Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners had been
declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each
calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is reported under financing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. No cash distributions
were declared for the nine months ended September 30, 2000.
Cash distributions paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return
of and a return on 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.
The Partnership's capital account balances for federal income tax and for
financial reporting purposes are different primarily due to differing treatments
of income and expense items for income tax purposes in comparison to financial
reporting purposes generally referred to as permanent or timing differences. See
Note 5 to the financial statements presented in the Partnership's 1999 Annual
Report. For instance, selling commissions, organization and offering costs
pertaining to syndication of the Partnership's limited partnership units are not
deductible for federal income tax purposes, but are recorded as a reduction of
partners' capital for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, such differences
are permanent differences between capital accounts for financial reporting and
federal income tax purposes. Other differences between the bases of capital
accounts for federal income tax and financial reporting purposes occur due to
timing differences. Such items consist of the cumulative difference between
income or loss for tax purposes and financial statement income or loss and the
difference between distributions (declared vs. paid) for income tax and
financial reporting purposes. The principal component of the cumulative
difference between financial statement income or loss and tax income or loss
results from different depreciation policies for book and tax purposes.
For financial reporting purposes, the General Partner has accumulated a
capital deficit at September 30, 2000. This is the result of aggregate cash
distributions to the General Partner being in excess of its capital contribution
of $1,000 and its allocation of financial statement net income or loss.
Ultimately, the existence of a capital deficit for the General Partner for
financial reporting purposes is not indicative of any further capital
obligations to the Partnership by the General Partner. The Restated Agreement,
as amended, requires that upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General
Partner will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to any
negative balance which may exist in the General Partner's tax capital account.
At December 31, 1999, the General Partner had a positive tax capital account
balance.
The outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the
financial statements presented in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report will be
the principal factor in determining the future of the Partnership's operations.
The proposed settlement to that lawsuit, if effected, will materially change the
future organizational structure and business interests of the Partnership, as
well as its cash distribution policies. In addition, commencing with the first
quarter of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash
distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly,
future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the Class Action
Lawsuit is adjudicated.
