                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1996


1.   Opinion of Management

                  In the opinion of the  management of PLM  Financial  Services,
Inc., the General  Partner,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements
contain all  adjustments  necessary,  consisting  primarily of normal  recurring
accruals,  to present fairly the financial position of PLM Equipment Growth Fund
V (the  "Partnership")  as of June 30, 1996,  the  statements  of income for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  the statements of cash flows
for the six months ending June 30, 1996 and 1995,  and the statements of changes
in partners' capital for the period December 31, 1994 to June 30, 1996.  Certain
information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles have been
condensed or omitted from the  accompanying  financial  statements.  For further
information,  reference  should be made to the  financial  statements  and notes
thereto  included in the  Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1995, on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.   Repurchase of Depositary Units

At December 31, 1995, the Partnership agreed to repurchase  approximately  7,900
Depositary  Units for an  aggregate  purchase  price of $90,000.  As of June 30,
1996, the Partnership repurchased 6,925 Depositary Units for $79,000 The General
Partner anticipates that the remaining Units will be repurchased during the next
three months.

3.   Investments in Unconsolidated Special Purpose Entities

During the second half of 1995, the  Partnership  began to increase the level of
its participation in the ownership of large-ticket  transportation  assets to be
owned and operated  jointly with affiliated  programs.  This trend has continued
during 1996.

Prior to 1996, the  Partnership  accounted for operating  activities  associated
with  joint  ownership  of  transportation  equipment  as  undivided  interests,
including its proportionate share of each asset with similar wholly-owned assets
in its financial statements. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the
effects of such  activities,  if material,  should be reported  using the equity
method of accounting.  Therefore,  effective  January 1, 1996,  the  Partnership
adopted the equity  method to account for its  investment  in such  jointly-held
assets.

The principle  differences between the previous accounting method and the equity
method relate to the presentation of activities  relating to these assets in the
statement of operations.  Whereas,  under equity  accounting  the  Partnership's
proportionate  share is presented  as a single net amount,  equity in net income
(loss) of unconsolidated  special purpose  entities,  under the previous method,
the Partnership's  statement of operations  reflected its proportionate share of
each individual item of revenue and expense. Accordingly, the effect of adopting
the equity method of accounting has no cumulative effect on previously  reported
partner's  capital or on the  Partnership's  net income (loss) for the period of
adoption.  Because the effects on  previously  issued  financial  statements  of
applying the equity method of accounting to investments in jointly-owned  assets
are not considered to be material to such financial statements taken as a whole,
previously issued financial statements have not been restated.  However, certain
items have been  reclassified in the previously  issued balance sheet to conform
to the current period presentation.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the  Partnership  purchased a partial
beneficial  interest in a trust of five commercial aircraft for $5.6 million and
incurred  acquisition  and  lease  negotiation  fees  of  $0.3  million  to  PLM
Transportation Equipment Corporation (TEC), an affiliate of the General Partner.

4.   Cash Distributions

     Cash distributions are recorded when paid and totaled $4.8 million and $9.7
million for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1996,  respectively.  Cash
distributions  to Unit  holders  in  excess  of net  income  are  considered  to
represent  a return of  capital on a  Generally  Accepted  Accounting  Principle
(GAAP) basis. None of the cash  distributions to the Limited Partners during the
six  months  ended June 30,  1996 were  deemed to be a return of  capital.  Cash
distributions  to the Limited Partners of $7.2 million for six months ended June
30, 1995, were deemed to be a return of capital.  Cash distributions  related to
the second quarter  results of $3.2 million were paid or are payable during July
and August 1996,  depending  on whether the  individual  unit holder  elected to
receive a monthly or quarterly distribution check.

     5.  Equipment

     Owned equipment held for operating leases is stated at cost. Equipment held
for sale is  stated  at the  lower of the  equipment's  depreciated  cost or net

     5.  Equipment (continued)

During the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  the  Partnership  disposed  of 541
marine  containers  and 4 railcars  with an aggregate net book value of $823,000
for proceeds of $991,000.  The Partnership also sold a mobile offshore  drilling
unit with a net book value of $10.7 million for proceeds of $21.3 million.

At June 30, 1996, two aircraft  engines,  which are currently on lease, are held
for  sale.  This  equipment  was sold on July 31,  1996,  for  proceeds  of $6.0
million.

During the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  the  Partnership  disposed  of 804
marine containers,  one railcar,  and one marine vessel with a net book value of
$5.0  million  for  proceeds  of $4.7  million.  The  Partnership  also  sold 97
railcars,  which were held for sale as of  December  31,  1994,  with a net book
value of  $1,870,000  at the date of sale for  proceeds  of  $2,631,000  and one
marine vessel, which was also held for sale, with a net book value of $3,990,000
at the date of sale for proceeds of $5,122,000.  Included in the gain on sale of
the marine vessels, is the unused portion of accrued dry docking and commissions
related to the sale, a net of $1,170,000.

6.   Debt

The General  Partner has entered into a joint $35 million  credit  facility (the
"Committed Bridge Facility") on behalf of the Partnership,  PLM Equipment Growth
Fund III,  PLM  Equipment  Growth  Fund IV, PLM  Equipment  Growth  Fund VI, PLM
Equipment Growth & Income Fund VII and Professional Lease Management Income Fund
I ("Fund I"), all affiliated investment programs, TEC Acquisub,  Inc. ("TECAI"),
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Partner, and American Finance
Group, Inc. (AFG), a subsidiary of PLM International  Inc., which may be used to
provide interim financing of up to (i) 70% of the aggregate book value or 50% of
the  aggregate  net  fair  market  value  of  eligible  equipment  owned  by the
Partnership or Fund I, plus (ii) 50% of unrestricted  cash held by the borrower.
The Committed  Bridge  Facility  became  available on December 20, 1993, and was
amended and restated on May 31, 1996,  to expire on May 23, 1997.  The Committed
Bridge Facility also provides for a $5 million Letter of Credit Facility for the
eligible  borrowers.  Outstanding  borrowings  by  Fund  I,  TECAI,  AFG  or PLM
Equipment Growth Funds III through VII reduce the amount available to each other
under the Committed  Bridge Facility.  Individual  borrowings may be outstanding
for no more than 179 days, with all advances due no later than May 23, 1997. The
Committed   Bridge  Facility   prohibits  the  Partnership  from  incurring  any
additional  indebtedness.  Interest accrues at either the prime rate or adjusted
LIBOR plus 2.5% at the borrowers  option and is set at the time of an advance of
funds.  Borrowings by the Partnership are guaranteed by the General Partner.  As
of  August  9,  1996,  the  PLM  Equipment  Growth  Fund  VI had  $9,000,000  in
outstanding   borrowings  under  the  Committed   Bridge  Facility,   TECAI  had
$23,911,000 in outstanding borrowings and neither the Partnership nor any of the
other programs had any outstanding borrowings.

7.   Subsequent Event

The Partnership's  loan agreement requires the Partnership to maintain specified
ratios of aggregate  market value of certain  assets over the  outstanding  loan
balance. As a result of the sale of the mobile offshore drilling unit on May 30,
1996, the Partnership  deposited $10.8 million into a cash collateral account to
maintain compliance with this covenant.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS.

(I)  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Partnership's Operating Results for the Three Months Ended 
June 30, 1996 and 1995

(A)  Owned equipment operations

Lease revenues less direct expenses (defined as repairs and maintenance,  marine
equipment  operating,  and asset specific insurance expenses) on owned equipment
decreased during the second quarter of 1996 when compared to the same quarter of
1995. The following  table presents lease revenues less direct expenses by owned
equipment type (in thousands):

</TABLE>

Aircraft:  Aircraft  lease  revenues and direct  expenses  were $1.3 million and
$10,000,  respectively,  for the three months  ended June 30, 1996,  compared to
$1.1  million  and $4,000,  respectively  during the same  quarter of 1995.  The
increase in aircraft contribution was due to the purchase of six aircraft during
the later half of the second  quarter of 1995.  This  equipment was on lease for
the entire  quarter  during 1996 compared to being on lease for only part of the
second quarter of 1995;

Marine  vessels:  Marine  vessel lease  revenues and direct  expenses  were $3.6
million  and $2.2  million,  respectively,  for the  three  months  ended  1996,
compared to $3.4 and $2.5 million, respectively during the same quarter of 1995.
The  increase in marine  vessel  contribution  was due  primarily  to one marine
vessel  which is  operating  under a voyage  charter  during  1996  compared  to
operating under a time charter during 1995. The increase was offset, in part, by
the sale of one of the Partnership's marine vessels during the later part of the
second quarter of 1995;

Trailers:  Trailer  lease  revenues  and direct  expenses  were $0.5 million and
$65,000, respectively, for the three months ended 1996, compared to $0.4 million
and $20,000,  respectively  during the same quarter of 1995.  The trailer  fleet
remained  virtually  the same for both  periods,  however,  over the past twelve
months the number of trailers in the PLM affiliated  short-term rental yards has
increased  due to term leases which  expired.  These  trailers are now earning a
higher  utilization  rate while in the rental  yards  compared to the fixed term
leases. Due to the increase of trailers in the PLM affiliated  short-term rental
yards,  repairs  to  maintain  these  trailers  in  running  condition  has also
increased;

Rail equipment:  Rail equipment lease revenues and direct expenses were $566,000
and 224,000, respectively, for the three months ended 1996, compared to $599,000
and $110,000, respectively during the same quarter of 1995. Although the railcar
fleet  remained  relatively  the same size for both  quarters,  the  decrease in
railcar  contribution  resulted from running repairs  required on certain of the
railcars in the fleet during 1996 which were not needed during 1995;

Marine containers: Marine container lease revenues and direct expenses were $0.8
million and $8,000,  respectively,  for the three months ended 1996, compared to
$1.1 million and  $13,000,  respectively  during the same  quarter of 1995.  The
number of marine containers owned by the Partnership has been declining over the
past twelve months due to sales and  dispositions.  The result of this declining
fleet has resulted in a decrease in marine container net contribution.

Mobile  offshore  drilling  unit:  Mobile  offshore  drilling  unit (MODU) lease
revenues and direct  expenses  were $0.4 million and $0,  respectively,  for the
three  months  ended  1996,  compared to $0.6  million and $1,000,  respectively
during the same quarter of 1995. The decrease in the MODU  contribution  was due
to the sale of this  equipment  during the later  part of the second  quarter of
1996;

(B)  Indirect expenses related to owned equipment operations

Total  indirect  expenses of $4.6  million for the quarter  ended June 30, 1996,
decreased  from $5.2  million for the same period in 1995 due to a $0.7  million
decrease in depreciation and amortization  expenses from 1995 levels  reflecting
the sale of  certain  assets  during  1996 and 1995,  and the  double  declining
balance method of depreciation;

(C)  Net gain on disposition of owned equipment

Net gain on  disposition  of  equipment  for the second  quarter of 1996 totaled
$10.6  million  which  resulted  mainly  from the sale of a MODU with a net book
value of $10.7  million,  for  proceeds of $21.3  million.  The  remaining  gain
resulted  from the sale or disposal of 299 marine  containers  and one  railcar,
with an aggregate net book value of $0.4 million for aggregate  proceeds of $0.6
million.  For  the  second  quarter  of  1995,  the  $0.4  million  net  gain on
disposition  of  equipment  resulted  from the sale or  disposal  of 574  marine
containers,  one marine vessel, and one railcar with an aggregate net book value
of $4.7  million for proceeds of $4.4  million.  Included in the gain on sale of
the marine vessel,  is the unused portion of dry docking  reserves in the amount
of $0.7 million.

(D)  Interest and other income

Interest and other income  increased  $148,000 during the second quarter of 1996
due primarily to a business  interruption claim of $0.2 million which was earned
during 1996 and  interest  earned from the finance  lease which was not in place
during 1995. This increase was offset by a decrease in interest income earned on
cash investments during 1996 due to lower cash available for investment.

(E) Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special purpose entities represents net
loss generated from the operation of  jointly-owned  assets  accounted for under
the equity method (see Note 2 to the financial statements).

</TABLE>

Aircraft,  rotable  components,  and aircraft  engines:  As of June 30 1996, the
Partnership  has a  partial  beneficial  interest  in four  trusts  which own 15
commercial  aircraft,  2 aircraft engines and a portfolio of aircraft  rotables.
Revenues earned by these trusts of $1.1 million were offset by depreciation  and
amortization expense,  management fees and administrative costs of $1.2 million.
This equipment was purchased during the later half of 1995 and the first quarter
of 1996.

Marine vessels:  As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership owns a 50%-interest in two
marine vessels.  The revenues generated by this equipment decreased $0.3 million
when  compared  to the  same  period  of 1995 due to one of the  marine  vessels
switching to a time charter  during 1996 from a voyage  charter  during the same
period of 1995.  Marine operating  expenses  remained the same for both periods.
Depreciation expense decreased $0.1 million due to the double-declining  balance
method of depreciation.

(F)  Net Income

As a result of the foregoing,  the Partnership's net income of $10.9 million for
the second quarter of 1996, increased from net income of $0.2 million during the
same period in 1995. The Partnership's  ability to operate and liquidate assets,
secure leases, and re-lease those assets whose leases expire during the duration
of the Partnership is subject to many factors and the Partnership's  performance
in the second quarter 1996 is not necessarily  indicative of future periods.  In
the  second  quarter  1996,  the  Partnership  distributed  $4.6  million to the
Unitholders, or $0.50 per Depositary Unit.

</TABLE>

Aircraft:  Aircraft  lease  revenues and direct  expenses  were $2.7 million and
$22,000,  respectively,  for the six months ended 1996, compared to $1.9 million
and $15,000,  respectively  during the same period of 1995. The increase was due
to the  purchase  of six  aircraft  during the later half of the second  quarter
1995.  This equipment was on lease for the entire six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to being on lease for only one month during 1995;

Marine  vessels:  Marine  vessel lease  revenues and direct  expenses  were $7.6
million and $5.3 million,  respectively, for the six months ended 1996, compared
to $7.0 and $5.1  million,  respectively  during  the same  period of 1995.  The
increase in marine  vessel  contribution  was due primarily to one marine vessel
which is  operating  under a voyage  charter  during 1996  compared to operating
under a time charter during 1995. The increase was offset,  in part, by the sale
of one of the  Partnership's  marine vessels during the later part of the second
quarter of 1995;

Trailers:  Trailer lease revenues and direct expenses were $0.9 million and $0.1
million,  respectively,  for the six months  ended  1996,  compared  to $0.8 and
$43.000, respectively during the same period of 1995. The trailer fleet remained
virtually  the same for both periods,  however,  over the past twelve months the
number of trailers in the PLM affiliated  short-term  rental yards has increased
due to term  leases  which  expired.  These  trailers  are now  earning a higher
utilization  rate while in the rental  yards  compared to the fixed term leases.
Due to the increase of trailers in the PLM affiliated  short-term  rental yards,
repairs to maintain these trailers in running condition has also increased;

Rail  equipment:  Rail equipment  lease  revenues and direct  expenses were $1.2
million and $339,000,  respectively,  for the six months ended 1996, compared to
$1.3  million and  $269,000,  respectively  during the same period of 1995.  The
decrease in railcar  contribution  is due to the sale of 98 railcars  during the
later  month of the second  quarter of 1995,  and  running  repairs  required on
certain of the  railcars in the fleet  during 1996 which were not needed  during
1995;

Marine containers: Marine container lease revenues and direct expenses were $1.8
million and $15,000,  respectively,  for the six months ended 1996,  compared to
$2.1  million and  $26,000,  respectively  during the same  period of 1995.  The
number of marine containers owned by the Partnership has been declining over the
past twelve months due to sales and  dispositions.  The result of this declining
fleet has resulted in a decrease in marine container net contribution.

Mobile  offshore  drilling  unit:  Mobile  offshore  drilling  unit (MODU) lease
revenues and direct expenses were $1.1 million and $1,000, respectively, for the
six months ended 1996, compared to $1.2 million and $2,000,  respectively during
the same quarter of 1995. The decrease in the MODU  contribution  was due to the
sale of this equipment during the later part of the second quarter of 1996;

(B)  Indirect expenses related to owned equipment operations

Total indirect  expenses of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
decreased  from $10.4  million for the same period in 1995 due to a $1.2 million
decrease in depreciation and amortization  expenses from 1995 levels  reflecting
the sale of certain  assets during 1996 and 1995. The double  declining  balance
method of  depreciation  was offset,  in part,  by the  purchase of six aircraft
during the later half of the second quarter 1995.

(C)  Net gain on disposition of owned equipment

Net gain on  disposition  of  equipment  for the six months  ended June 30, 1996
totaled  $10.7  million  which  resulted from the sale of a MODU with a net book
value of $10.7 million for proceeds of $21.3 million,  541 marine containers and
4  railcars  with an  aggregate  net book  value of  $823,000  for  proceeds  of
$991,000.  Net gain on disposition of equipment during the six months ended June
30,  1995,  was realized on the  disposal of 804 marine  containers,  two marine
vessels,  and 98 railcars  with an aggregate net book value of $10.9 million for
proceeds  of $12.5  million.  Included  in the gain on sale of one of the marine
vessels,  is the unused portion of dry docking  reserves and  commissions in the
net amount of $1.2 million.

(D)  Interest and other income

Interest and other income increased $25,000 during the six months ended June 30,
1996 due  primarily to a business  interruption  claim of $0.2 million which was
earned  during 1996 and interest  earned from the finance lease which was not in
place during  1995.  This  increase was offset by a decrease in interest  income
earned  on  cash  investments  during  1996  due to  lower  cash  available  for
investment.

(E) Equity in net loss of unconsolidated special purpose entities represents net
loss generated from the operation of  jointly-owned  assets  accounted for under
the equity method (see Note 2 to the financial statements).

</TABLE>

Aircraft,  rotable  components,  and aircraft  engines:  As of June 30 1996, the
Partnership  has a  partial  beneficial  interest  in four  trusts  which own 15
commercial  aircraft,  2 aircraft engines and a portfolio of aircraft  rotables.
Revenues earned by these trusts of $1.8 million were offset by depreciation  and
amortization expense,  management fees and administrative costs of $2.0 million.
This equipment was purchased during the later half of 1995 and the first quarter
of 1996.

Marine vessels:  As of June 30, 1996, the Partnership owns a 50%-interest in two
marine vessels.  The revenues generated by this equipment decreased $1.0 million
when  compared  to the  same  period  of 1995 due to one of the  marine  vessels
switching to a time charter  during 1996 from a voyage  charter  during the same
period of 1995.  Marine  operating  expenses  decreased $0.2 when compare to the
same period of 1995 also due to the one marine  vessel which  switched to a time
charter  during  1996  from a voyage  charter  during  the same  period of 1995.
Depreciation expense decreased $0.1 million due to the double-declining  balance
method of depreciation..

(F)  Net Income

As a result of the foregoing,  the Partnership's net income of $11.0 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 1996,  increased  from net income of $2.5 million
during  the same  period in 1995.  The  Partnership's  ability  to  operate  and
liquidate assets,  secure leases,  and re-lease those assets whose leases expire
during the  duration  of the  Partnership  is subject  to many  factors  and the
Partnership's  performance  in  the  six  months  ended  June  30.  1996  is not
necessarily indicative of future periods. In the six months ended June 30, 1996,
the  Partnership  distributed  $9.2  million  to the  Unitholders,  or $1.00 per
Depositary Unit.


(II) FINANCIAL CONDITION - CAPITAL RESOURCES, LIQUIDITY, DISTRIBUTIONS, AND 
UNIT REDEMPTION PLAN

The Partnership  purchased its initial  equipment  portfolio with capital raised
from its initial equity  offering,  and permanent debt financing of $38 million.
No further capital  contributions from original partners are permitted under the
terms of the  Partnership's  Limited  Partnership  Agreement.  The Partnership's
total  outstanding  debt,  currently  $38.0 million,  can only be increased by a
maximum of $7.0  million  subject to specific  covenants  in the  existing  debt
agreement.  The Partnership  relies on operating cash flow to meet its operating
obligations, make cash distributions to partners, and increase the Partnership's
equipment portfolio with any remaining available surplus cash.

The General  Partner has entered into a joint $35 million  credit  facility (the
"Committed Bridge Facility") on behalf of the Partnership,  PLM Equipment Growth
Fund III,  PLM  Equipment  Growth  Fund IV, PLM  Equipment  Growth  Fund VI, PLM
Equipment Growth & Income Fund VII and Professional Lease Management Income Fund
I ("Fund I"), all affiliated investment programs, TEC Acquisub,  Inc. ("TECAI"),
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Partner, and American Finance
Group, Inc. (AFG), a subsidiary of PLM International  Inc., which may be used to
provide interim financing of up to (i) 70% of the aggregate book value or 50% of
the  aggregate  net  fair  market  value  of  eligible  equipment  owned  by the
Partnership or Fund I, plus (ii) 50% of unrestricted  cash held by the borrower.
The Committed  Bridge  Facility  became  available on December 20, 1993, and was
amended and restated on May 31, 1996,  to expire on May 23, 1997.  The Committed
Bridge Facility also provides for a $5 million Letter of Credit Facility for the
eligible  borrowers.  Outstanding  borrowings  by  Fund  I,  TECAI,  AFG  or PLM
Equipment Growth Funds III through VII reduce the amount available to each other
under the Committed  Bridge Facility.  Individual  borrowings may be outstanding
for no more than 179 days, with all advances due no later than May 23, 1997. The
Committed   Bridge  Facility   prohibits  the  Partnership  from  incurring  any
additional  indebtedness.  Interest accrues at either the prime rate or adjusted
LIBOR plus 2.5% at the borrowers  option and is set at the time of an advance of
funds.  Borrowings by the Partnership are guaranteed by the General Partner.  As
of  August  9,  1996,  the  PLM  Equipment  Growth  Fund  VI had  $9,000,000  in
outstanding  borrowings under the Committed  Bridge Facility,  TECAI had $23,911
,000 in outstanding  borrowings and neither the Partnership nor any of the other
programs had any outstanding borrowings.

For the six months ended June 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  generated  sufficient
operating cash to meet its operating obligations, and maintain the current level
of  distributions  (total for six months  ending June 30, 1996 of  approximately
$9.7  million) to the partners.  During the six months ended June 30, 1996,  the
General Partner sold equipment for $22.2 million while reinvesting approximately
$5.7 million (including  capital  improvements and fees) in 100% owned equipment
and $5.9 million in jointly-owned assets.

Beginning  January 1, 1994,  the  Partnership  became  obligated,  under certain
conditions,  to redeem up to 2% of the outstanding  Depositary  Units each year.
The  purchase  price to be offered for such  outstanding  Units will be equal to
110% of the unrecovered  principal  attributed to the Units - where  unrecovered
principal is defined as the excess of the capital contribution attributable to a
Unit over the  distributions  from any source paid with respect to that Unit. At
December 31, 1995, the Partnership agreed to purchase  approximately 7,900 Units
for an  aggregate  price  of  approximately  $90,000.  At  June  30,  1996,  the
Partnership  repurchased 6,925 Depositary Units for $79,000. The General Partner
anticipates  that the remaining Units will be repurchased  during the next three
months with funds generated from operations.

The Partnership's  loan agreement requires the Partnership to maintain specified
ratios of aggregate  market value of certain  assets over the  outstanding  loan
balance. As a result of the sale of the mobile offshore drilling unit on May 30,
1996, the Partnership  deposited $10.8 million into a cash collateral account to
maintain compliance with this covenant.

(III)    TRENDS

The Partnership's operation of a diversified equipment portfolio in a broad base
of markets is  intended  to reduce its  exposure  to  volatility  in  individual
equipment  sectors.  Throughout  1995,  and  the  first  part  of  1996,  market
conditions,  supply and demand equilibrium,  and other factors varied in several
markets.  In the  container  and  refrigerated  over-the-road  trailer  markets,
oversupply conditions,  industry  consolidations,  and other factors resulted in
falling  rates and lower  returns.  In the dry  over-the-road  trailer  markets,
strong  demand  and  a  backlog  of  new  equipment   deliveries  produced  high
utilization and returns.  The marine vessel,  rail, and mobile offshore drilling
unit markets could be generally  categorized  by increasing  rates as the demand
for  equipment  is  increasing  faster than new  additions  net of  retirements.
Finally,  demand for  narrowbody  Stage II aircraft,  such as those owned by the
Partnership,  has increased as expected savings from newer  narrowbody  aircraft
have not  materialized  and  deliveries of the newer  aircraft have slowed down.
These trends are expected to continue for the near term. These different markets
have had individual effects on the performance of Partnership  equipment in some
cases  resulting  in  declining   performance,   and  in  others,   in  improved
performance.

The  ability  of the  Partnership  to  realize  acceptable  lease  rates  on its
equipment in the different equipment markets is contingent on many factors, such
as specific market conditions and economic activity, technological obsolescence,
governmental or other regulations,  and others. The  unpredictability of some of
these  factors,  or of their  occurrence,  makes it  difficult  for the  General
Partner to clearly define trends or influences  that may impact the  performance
of the Partnership's  equipment.  The General Partner continuously monitors both
the equipment  markets and the  performance  of the  Partnership's  equipment in
these  markets.  The  General  Partner  may make an  evaluation  to  reduce  the
Partnership's  exposure  to  equipment  markets in which it  determines  that it
cannot operate equipment and achieve acceptable rates of return.  Alternatively,
the General Partner may make a determination to enter equipment markets in which
it perceives  opportunities to profit from supply-demand  instabilities or other
market imperfections.

The  Partnership  intends to use  excess  cash flow,  if any,  after  payment of
expenses, loan principal, and cash distributions to acquire additional equipment
during the first  seven years of  Partnership  operations.  The General  Partner
believes these  acquisitions  may cause the  Partnership to generate  additional
earnings and cash flow for the Partnership.
