Item 1. Business.
General Development of Business.
Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P., a California limited
partnership (the "Partnership"), was organized on July 9, 1990. The Partnership
was registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission with an effective
date of November 4, 1991 and shall continue to operate until its termination
date unless dissolved sooner due to the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Partnership or a vote of the Limited Partners. The Partnership will
terminate on December 31, 2003. The General Partner is a California limited
partnership, Phoenix Leasing Associates II L.P., the general partner of which is
Phoenix Leasing Associates II, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Phoenix Leasing Incorporated, a California corporation. The
General Partner or its affiliates also is or has been a general partner in
several other limited partnerships formed to invest in capital equipment and
other assets.
The registration was for 5,000,000 units of limited partnership interest
at a price of $20 per unit. The Partnership completed its public offering on
October 28, 1993. As of December 31, 1993, the Partnership sold 2,045,838 units
for a total capitalization of $40,916,760. Of the proceeds received through the
offering, the Partnership has incurred $6,131,000 in organizational and offering
expenses for a net capitalization of $34.8 million.
From the initial formation of the Partnership through December 31, 1997,
the total investments in equipment leases, investments in joint ventures and
financing transactions (loans) approximate $96,012,034. The average initial firm
term of contractual payments from equipment subject to lease was 46.80 months,
and the average initial net monthly payment rate as a percentage of the original
purchase price was 2.70%. The average initial firm term of contractual payments
from loans was 51.29 months.
The Partnership's principal objective is to produce cash flow to the
investors on a continuing basis over the life of the Partnership. To achieve
this objective, the Partnership will invest in various types of capital
equipment and other assets to provide leasing or financing of the same to third
parties, including Fortune 1000 companies and their subsidiaries, middle-market
companies, emerging growth companies, franchised businesses, pay television
system operators and others, on either a long-term or short-term basis. The
types of equipment that the Partnership will invest in will include, but is not
limited to, computer peripherals, small computer systems, communications
equipment, IBM mainframes, IBM-software compatible mainframes, office systems,
CAE/CAD/CAM equipment, telecommunications equipment, cable television equipment,
medical equipment, production and manufacturing equipment and software products.
At least 75% of the net offering proceeds has been allocated for the acquisition
of computer peripherals.
The Partnership has acquired significant amounts of equipment or assets
with the net offering proceeds. In addition, the Partnership has acquired
equipment through the use of debt financing, however, the ratio of the
outstanding debt to net capital contributions less any investment in Leveraged
Joint Ventures at the end of the Partnership's offering period will not exceed
one-to-one. The cash flow generated by such investments in equipment leases or
financing transactions will be used to provide for debt service, to provide cash
distributions to the Partners and the remainder will be reinvested in capital
equipment or other assets.
Narrative Description of Business.
The Partnership has acquired and intends to acquire and lease equipment
pursuant to either "Operating" leases or "Financing" leases. At December 31,
1997, approximately 97% of the equipment owned by the Partnership was classified
as Financing leases. The Partnership has also provided and intends to provide
financing secured by assets in the form of notes receivable. Operating leases
are generally short-term leases under which the lessor will receive aggregate
rental payments in an amount that is less than the purchase price of the
equipment. Financing leases are generally for a longer term under which the
noncancellable rental payments due during the initial term of the lease are at
least sufficient to recover the purchase price of the equipment.
Operating leases represent a greater risk along with a greater potential
return to the Partnership than do Financing leases. In order to recover its
investment in equipment leased pursuant to an Operating lease, the Partnership
will, upon termination of such lease, either have to obtain a renewal from the
original lessee, find a new lessee or sell the equipment. The terms for
Operating leases are for a shorter duration than Financing leases. Consequently,
the revenues derived from the initial term of Operating leases are generally
greater than those of Financing leases. Due to technological, competitive,
market and economic factors, it is anticipated that renewals or remarkets of
leases will be at a lower rental rate than that of the initial lease terms.
3
<PAGE>
In addition to acquiring equipment for lease to third parties, the
Partnership, either directly or through the investment in joint ventures, has
provided financing to certain emerging growth companies, cable television
operators, manufacturers and their lessees with respect to assets leased
directly by such manufacturers to third parties. The Partnership maintains a
security interest in the assets financed and in the receivables due under any
lease or rental agreement relating to such assets. Such security interests
constitute a lien on the equipment and will give the Partnership the right, upon
default, to obtain possession of the assets.
Competition. The General Partner intends to concentrate the
Partnership's activities in the equipment leasing and financing industry, an
area in which the General Partner has developed an expertise. The computer
equipment leasing industry is extremely competitive. The Partnership competes
with many well established companies having substantially greater financial
resources. Competitive factors include pricing, technological innovation and
methods of financing (including use of various short-term and long-term
financing plans, as well as the outright purchase of equipment). Generally, the
impact of these factors to the Partnership would be the realization of increased
equipment remarketing and storage costs, as well as lower residuals received
from the sale or remarketing of such equipment.
Other.
A brief description of the type of assets in which the Partnership has
invested through December 31, 1997, together with information concerning the
uses of assets is set forth in Item 2.
Item 2. Properties.
The Partnership is engaged in the equipment leasing and financing
industry and as such, does not own or operate any principal plants, mines or
real property. The primary assets held by the Partnership are its investments in
leases and loans, either directly or through its investment in joint ventures,
to businesses located throughout the United States.
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owns equipment and has
outstanding loans to borrowers with an aggregate original cost of $47,378,000.
The following table summarizes the type of equipment owned or financed by the
Partnership, including its pro rata interest in joint ventures, at December 31,

of Operations.
Results of Operations
Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership)
reported net income of $3,917,000 and $2,158,000 during the years ended December
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The increase in net income for the year ended
December 31, 1997, compared to 1996, is attributable to a decrease in total
expenses, primarily depreciation expense, which exceeded the decline in total
revenues.
Total revenues decreased by $735,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997, compared to the prior year . The decrease in total revenues in 1997 is due
to decreases in rental income and earned income from financing leases. The
decline in rental income of $1,450,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997,
compared to the previous year, is a result of a reduction in the amount of
equipment owned by the Partnership. At December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned
equipment with an aggregate original cost of $35.4 million, compared to $40.8
million at December 31, 1996.
The decrease in earned income from financing leases of $604,000 for the
year ended December 31, 1997, compared to the prior year, is a result of a
decline in the Partnership's investment in financing leases. At December 31,
1997, the Partnership had a net investment in financing leases of $11 million,
compared to $15.1 million at December 31, 1996. The investment in financing
leases, as well as earned income from financing leases, will decrease over the
lease term as the Partnership amortizes income over the life of the lease using
the interest method. This decrease will be offset in part by a continuous
investment of the excess cash flows of the Partnership in new leasing and
financing transactions over the life of the Partnership. During 1997, the
Partnership made new investments in financing leases of $3.8 million, compared
to $4.4 million during 1996.
The decline in rental income and earned income from financing leases for
the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 1996, is in part offset by an
increase in gain on sale of securities and an increase in interest income from
notes receivable. The Partnership reported a gain on sale of securities of
$1,255,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $390,000 in 1996.
The securities sold for both 1996 and 1997 consisted of common stock received
through the exercise of stock warrants granted to the Partnership as part of
financing agreements with emerging growth companies that are publicly traded.
The Partnership received proceeds of $1,255,000 and $403,000 from the sale of
these securities during the year ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
In addition, at December 31, 1997, the Partnership owns shares of stock and
stock warrants in emerging growth companies that are publicly traded with an
unrealized gain of approximately $4,000 compared to $369,000 at December 31,
1996. These stock warrants contain certain restrictions, but are generally
exercisable within one year.
The increase in interest income from notes receivable of $342,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 1996, is attributable to new
investments made in notes receivable during 1996 and 1997. The Partnership made
new investments in notes receivable of $5.2 million and $2.7 million for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Total expenses decreased by $2,494,000 for the year ended December 31,
1997, compared to the prior year. The decrease in total expenses for 1997,
compared to 1996, is primarily due to a reduction in depreciation expense of
$2,458,000. The decrease in depreciation expense is attributable to a decline in
the amount of equipment owned, as well as, a portion of the equipment portfolio
having become fully depreciated. Additionally, depreciation was higher during
1996 than 1997 due to the Partnership providing additional depreciation on
various leases that had come to the end of their initial term, where the
estimated fair market value was not expected to exceed the net book value of
such leases. Included in depreciation expense for the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996 was additional depreciation expense of $4,000 and $758,000,
respectively.
Inflation affects the Partnership in relation to the current cost of
equipment placed on lease and the residual values realized when the equipment
comes off-lease and is sold. During the last several years inflation has been
low, thereby having very little impact upon the investments of the Partnership.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership's primary source of liquidity comes from contractual
obligations with lessees and borrowers for fixed terms at fixed payment amounts.
The future liquidity of the Partnership is dependent upon the payment of the
Partnership's contractual obligations from its lessees and borrowers. As the
initial lease terms of the Partnership's short term operating leases expire, the
Partnership will re-lease or sell the equipment as it becomes available. The
6
<PAGE>
future liquidity of the Partnership in excess of the contractual obligations
will depend upon the General Partner's success in re-leasing and selling the
Partnership's equipment when the lease terms expire.
The cash generated from leasing and financing activities during the year
ended December 31, 1997 was $12,374,000, as compared to $13,665,000 during the
year ended December 31, 1996. The reduction in cash generated is attributable to
a decline in rental income, as previously discussed. During the year ended
December 31, 1996, the net cash generated from leasing and financing activities,
combined with the cash on hand, were used for the repayment of debt and for the
payment of cash distributions to the partners. During the year ended December
31, 1996, the Partnership paid off its outstanding debt of $3,594,000.
The Partnership will continue to reinvest the cash generated by
operating and financing activities in new leasing and financing transactions
over the life of the Partnership. During the year ended December 31, 1997, the
Partnership invested $3,774,000 in equipment leases and $5,222,000 in notes
receivable, as compared to investments of $4,421,000 in equipment leases and
$2,676,000 in notes receivable in 1996.
As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership owned equipment being held for
lease with an original cost of $4,347,000 and a net book value of $233,000,
compared to $3,945,000 and $278,000, respectively, at December 31, 1996. The
General Partner is actively engaged, on behalf of the Partnership, in
remarketing and selling the Partnership's equipment as it becomes available.
The Partnership received proceeds from the sale of equipment of $337,000
for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to $1,255,000 for 1996. The
decrease in proceeds for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 1996, is
a result of less sales activity during 1997 compared to 1996. The Partnership
sold equipment with an aggregate original cost of $9.2 million during 1997,
compared to $14.1 million during 1996.
Distributions from joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 1997
were $1,402,000 compared to $436,000 for 1996. The increase in distributions
from joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to 1996, is
due to one equipment joint venture's outstanding debt being repaid in full in
November of 1996. As a result, this joint venture began making distributions in
1997.
The cash distributed to partners for the year ended December 31, 1997
was $3,996,000, as compared to $4,064,000 during the year ended December 31,
1996. In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the limited partners are
entitled to 97% of the cash available for distribution and the General Partner
is entitled to 3%. As a result, the limited partners received $3,876,000 and
$3,941,000 in distributions during the year ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. The cumulative distributions to the Limited Partners were
$20,225,000 and $16,349,000 as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
General Partner received $120,000 and $123,000 in cash distributions for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Partnership plans to
make quarterly distributions to partners during 1998 at the same rate as the
current distributions.
The cash to be generated from leasing and financing operations is
anticipated to be sufficient to meet the Partnership's continuing operational
expenses and distributions.
Forward-looking statements in this report are made pursuant to the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Actual results could differ from those anticipated by some of the statements
made above. Limited Partners are cautioned that such forward-looking statements

PHOENIX LEASING CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997
Note 1. Organization and Partnership Matters.
Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P., a California limited
partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed on July 9, 1990, to invest in
capital equipment of various types and to lease such equipment to third parties
on either a long-term or short-term basis, and to provide financing to emerging
growth companies and cable television system operators. The Partnership met
minimum investment requirements on January 7, 1992. The Partnership's
termination date is December 31, 2003.
The Partnership has also made investments in joint ventures with
affiliated partnerships managed by the General Partner for the purpose of
reducing the risks of financing or acquiring certain capital equipment leased to
third parties (see Note 6).
For financial reporting purposes, Partnership net income and net losses
will be allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. In
addition, the General Partner will be allocated gross rental and interest income
in amounts equal to the distributions that it receives from the Partnership.
Syndication costs will be allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the
Limited Partners.
The General Partner is entitled to receive 3% of all distributions until
the Limited Partners have recovered their initial capital contributions plus a
cumulative return of 10% per annum. Thereafter, the General Partner will receive
15% of all cash distributions. From inception of the Partnership until September
30, 1998, the General Partner's interest in Cash Available for Distribution is
subordinated in any calendar quarter until the Limited Partners receive
quarterly distributions equal to 2.50% of their capital contributions (i.e., 10%
per annum), prorated for any partial period.
In the event the General Partner has a deficit balance in its capital
account at the time of Partnership liquidation, it will be required to
contribute the amount of such deficit to the Partnership.
As compensation for management services, the General Partner receives a
fee, payable quarterly, subject to certain limitations, in an amount equal to 3%
of the Partnership's gross revenues for the quarter from which such payment is
being made, which revenues shall include, but are not limited to, rental
receipts, maintenance fees, proceeds from the sale of equipment and interest
income.
The General Partner will be compensated for services performed in
connection with the analysis of assets available to the Partnership, the
selection of such assets and the acquisition thereof, including obtaining
lessees for the equipment, negotiating and concluding master lease agreements
with certain lessees. As compensation for such acquisition services, the General
Partner will receive a fee equal to 3%, subject to certain limitations, of (a)
the purchase price of equipment acquired by the Partnership or equipment leased
to customers by manufacturers, the financing for which is provided by the
Partnership, or (b) financing provided to businesses such as cable operators,
emerging growth companies, or security monitoring system companies, payable upon
such acquisition or financing, as the case may be. Acquisition fees are
amortized over the life of the assets principally on a straight-line basis.
A schedule of compensation paid and distributions made to the General
Partner for the years ended December 31, follows:
1997 1996
---- ----
(Amounts in Thousands)
Management fees $ 459 $ 486
Acquisition fees 270 213
Cash distributions 120 123

<PAGE>
Redemptions of Limited Partner units will only be made to the extent
permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Partnership Agreement and if,
in the opinion of the General Partner, it is in the best interest of the
Partnership. In addition, redemptions will not be made if such redemptions would
cause the Partnership to be categorized as a publicly traded partnership for
federal income tax purposes.
The Partnership will acquire such limited partnership units for an amount
equal to 85% of the "accrual basis capital account" relating to the redeemed
units. The Partnership will retain the remaining 15% of the "accrual basis
capital account" relating to the redeemed units. Redemptions retained by the
Partnership were $34,000 and $99,000 during the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. "Accrual basis capital account" is computed in
accordance with the books and records regularly maintained by the Partnership
for financial reporting purposes, utilizing the accrual method of accounting.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include deposits at
banks, investments in money market funds and other highly liquid short-term
investments with original maturities of less than 90 days.
Credit and Collateral. The Partnership's activities have been concentrated
in the equipment leasing and financing industry. A credit evaluation is
performed by the General Partner for all leases and loans made, with the
collateral requirements determined on a case-by-case basis. The Partnership's
loans are generally secured by the equipment or assets financed and, in some
cases, other collateral of the borrower. In the event of default, the
Partnership has the right to foreclose upon the collateral used to secure such
loans.
Notes Receivable. Notes receivable generally are stated at their
outstanding unpaid principal balances, which includes accrued interest. Interest
income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.
Impaired Notes Receivable. Generally, notes receivable are classified as
impaired and the accrual of interest on such notes is discontinued when the
contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or
management has serious doubts about further collectibility of the contractual
payments, even though the loan may currently be performing. When a note
receivable is classified as impaired, income recognition is discontinued. Any
payments received subsequent to the placement of the note receivable on to
impaired status will generally be applied towards the reduction of the
outstanding note receivable balance, which may include previously accrued
interest as well as principal. Once the principal and accrued interest balance
has been reduced to zero, the remaining payments will be applied to interest
income. Generally, notes receivable are restored to accrual status when the
obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual
terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectibility of the
total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.
Allowance for Losses. An allowance for losses is established through
provisions for losses charged against income. Notes receivable deemed to be
uncollectible are charged against the allowance for losses, and subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
Leasing Operations. The Partnership's leasing operations consist of both
financing and operating leases. The financing method of accounting for leases
records as unearned income at the inception of the lease, the excess of net
rentals receivable and estimated residual value at the end of the lease term,
over the cost of equipment leased. Unearned income is credited to income monthly
over the term of the lease on a declining basis to provide an approximate level
rate of return on the unrecovered cost of the investment. Initial direct costs
of consummating new leases are capitalized and included in the cost of
equipment. The Partnership reviews its estimates of residual value at least
annually. If a decline in value has occurred which is other than temporary, a
reduction in the investment is recognized currently.
Under the operating method of accounting for leases, the leased equipment
is recorded as an asset at cost and depreciated. The Partnership's leased
equipment is depreciated primarily using an accelerated depreciation method over
the estimated useful life of six years.
The Partnership's policy is to review periodically the remaining expected
economic life of its rental equipment in order to determine the probability of
recovering its undepreciated cost. Such reviews address, among other things,
recent and anticipated technological developments affecting computer equipment
and competitive factors within the computer marketplace. Where reviews of the
equipment portfolio indicate that rentals plus anticipated sales proceeds will
15
<PAGE>
not exceed expenses in any future period, the Partnership revises its
depreciation policy and will provide additional depreciation as appropriate. As
a result of such periodic reviews, the Partnership provided additional
depreciation expense of $4,000 and $758,000 ($0 and $.39 per limited partnership
unit) for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Rental income for the year is determined on the basis of rental payments
due for the period under the terms of the lease. Maintenance, repairs and minor
renewals of the leased equipment are charged to expense.
Portfolio Valuation Methodology. The Partnership uses the portfolio method
of accounting for the net realizable value of the Partnership's equipment
portfolio.
Investments in Joint Ventures. Minority investments in net assets of the
equipment and financing joint ventures reflect the Partnership's equity basis in
the ventures. Under the equity method of accounting, the original investment is
recorded at cost and is adjusted periodically to recognize the Partnership's
share of earnings, losses, cash contributions and cash distributions after the
date of acquisition.
Investment in Available-for-Sale Securities. The Partnership has
investments in stock and stock warrants in public companies that have been
determined to be available for sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at
their fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in a
separate component of partners' capital.
Reclassification. Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the 1997 presentation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Note 3. Accounts Receivable.

Note 5. Equipment on Operating Leases and Investment in Financing Leases.
Equipment on lease consists primarily of computer peripheral equipment
and other capital equipment.
The Partnership's operating leases are for initial lease terms of
approximately 19 to 36 months. During the remaining terms of existing operating
leases, the Partnership will not recover all of the undepreciated cost and
related expenses of its rental equipment, and therefore must remarket a portion
of its equipment in future years.
The Partnership has also entered into direct lease arrangements with
businesses in different industries located throughout the United States.
Generally, it is the responsibility of the lessee to provide maintenance on
leased equipment. The General Partner administers the equipment portfolio of
leases acquired through the direct leasing program. Administration includes the
collection of rents from the lessees and remarketing of the equipment.
The net investment in financing leases consists of the following at

Note 6. Investment in Joint Ventures.
Equipment Joint Venture.
On August 1, 1994, the Partnership entered into an agreement along with
two other affiliated partnerships to contribute certain leased assets and notes
receivable (the "Assets") to Phoenix Acceptance Limited Liability Company, a
Delaware limited liability company (the "Joint Venture") in exchange for a
32.48% equity interest in the Joint Venture. The interest received in the Joint
Venture was accounted for at the historical cost basis of the Assets
transferred. The Partnership has accounted for its net investment in this Joint
Venture using the equity method of accounting. The Joint Venture was organized
to hold title to the assets and subsequently transfer such assets to a trust for
the purpose of the trust issuing two classes of lease backed certificates to
third parties in exchange for cash proceeds. The transaction between the Joint
Venture and the trust has been accounted for as a financing. The Joint Venture
retains a residual interest in the assets transferred through the ownership of a
third class of subordinated trust certificates. The lease backed certificates
are recourse only to the assets used to collateralize the obligation.
The net carrying value of such assets contributed by the Partnership to
the Joint Venture was approximately $7.9 million and the total carrying value of
all of the assets contributed by all three partnerships approximated $24.7
million. The net proceeds from the issuance of the lease backed certificates
were distributed back to the partnerships who contributed to the Joint Venture.
On August 5, 1994, the Joint Venture received proceeds from the issuance of the
7.1% Class A lease backed certificates in the principal amount of $18.5 million.
On August 12, 1994, the Joint Venture received proceeds from the issuance of the
8.25% Class B lease backed certificates in the principal amount of $5.3 million.
In November 1996, the lease backed certificates were paid in full.
The Manager of the Joint Venture is Phoenix Leasing Incorporated. The
manager is responsible for the daily management of the operations of the Joint
Venture. Phoenix Leasing Incorporated also acts as Servicer and Administrator to
the trust. As Servicer, Phoenix Leasing Incorporated is responsible for
servicing, managing and administering the Assets, as well as enforcing and
making collections on the Assets.

standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheets are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheets. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the balance sheets referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Phoenix Leasing Associates II, Inc.

PHOENIX LEASING ASSOCIATES II, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
JUNE 30, 1997
Note 1. Organization:
Phoenix Leasing Associates II, Inc. (the Company), was formed under the laws
of Nevada on June 14, 1990. The Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end. The
Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Phoenix Leasing Incorporated (PLI), a
California corporation, and was originally formed to serve as the general
partner of Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (CDF V), a California
limited partnership.
On August 17, 1990, the Company organized Phoenix Leasing Associates II
L.P., a California limited partnership (PLAIILP) to replace the Company as the
general partner in CDF V. The limited partner of PLAIILP is Lease Management
Associates, Inc., a Nevada corporation controlled by an officer of the Company,
who also owns the parent company of PLI. As the general partner of CDF V,
PLAIILP earns acquisition and management fees and receives the profits, losses
and distributions which are to be allocated to the Company (Note 6). The Company
is the general partner of PLAIILP and, as of June 30, 1997 and 1996 has a 50%
ownership interest. This ownership interest is subject to change in accordance
with the PLAIILP Partnership Agreement. Profits, losses and distributions
attributable to acquisition fees paid to PLAIILP by CDF V are allocated in
proportion to the partners' ownership interests. All other profits, losses and
distributions are allocated to the Company. The financial statements as of June
30, 1997 and 1996 are presented on a consolidated basis as discussed in Note 2.
Note 2. Principles of Consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, include
the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, PLAIILP, over which the company
exerts significant control and influence. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The minority interest
represents the limited partner's interest in PLAIILP.
The Company records its investment in CDF V under the equity method of
accounting. As general partner, the Company has complete authority in, and
responsibility for, the overall management and control of CDF V, which includes
responsibility for supervising CDF V's acquisition, leasing, remarketing
activities and its sale of equipment.
Note 3. Use of Estimates:
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 4. Notes Receivable from Affiliate:
PLI, the sole shareholder of the Company, as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, has
issued demand promissory notes to the Company totaling $4,000,000. There are no
restrictions or covenants associated with this note which would preclude the
Company from receiving the principal or interest amounts under the terms of the
notes. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 10% or prime
rate plus 1%, as determined by Citibank, N.A., New York, New York. Interest is
payable by PLI on the first business day of each calendar quarter. The principal
amount is due and payable upon demand by the Company.
Note 5. Income Taxes:
The Company's income or loss for tax reporting purposes is included in the
consolidated and combined tax returns filed by Phoenix American Incorporated
(PAI), an affiliated Nevada corporation. These returns are prepared on the
accrual basis of accounting.
Under "Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 - Accounting for
Income Taxes," the Company computes taxes as if it was a stand alone company.
The resulting tax provisions of $160,448 and $234,305 as of June 30, 1997 and
3
<PAGE>
and 1996, respectively, were transferred to PAI in accordance with a Tax Sharing
Agreement between the Company and PAI.
Note 6. Compensation and Fees:
PLAIILP receives acquisition fees equal to three percent of the purchase
price of assets acquired or financed by CDF V in connection with the analysis,
selection and acquisition or financing of assets, and the continuing analysis of
the overall portfolio of the CDF V's assets, and management fees equal to three
percent of CDF V's gross revenues in connection with managing the operations of
CDF V. In addition, PLAIILP receives an interest in CDF V's profits, losses and
distributions. Management fees of $32,599 and $76,521 and acquisition fees of
$36,626 and $309 are included in Due from CDF V as of June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Note 7. Related Parties:
Phoenix Securities, Inc., an affiliate of the Company, receives a fee for
wholesaling activities performed in connection with the offering of the limited
partnership units of CDF V.
The Company has entered into an agreement with PLI, whereby PLI will provide
management services to PLAIILP in connection with the operations and
administration of CDF V. In consideration for the services and activities to be
performed by PLI pursuant to this agreement, the Company pays PLI fees in an
amount equal to: Three percent of CDF V's cumulative gross revenues plus the
lesser of three percent of the purchase price of equipment acquired by and
financing provided to businesses by CDF V or 100% of the net cash attributable
to the acquisition fee which has been distributed to the Company plus 100% of
all other net cash from operations of PLAIILP. Management fees paid to PLI equal
$704,067 and $759,627 for the year ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
