                 PHOENIX LEASING CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.    General.
           -------

     The  accompanying   unaudited  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
prepared by the  Partnership in accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. In the opinion of Management,  all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring  accruals)  considered  necessary  for a fair  presentation  have been
included. Although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make
the information  presented not misleading,  it is suggested that these condensed
financial  statements be read in conjunction  with the financial  statements and
the notes included in the Partnership's  Financial Statement,  as filed with the
SEC in the latest annual report on Form 10-K.

     The  Partnership  Agreement  stipulates the methods by which income will be
allocated to the General Partner and the limited partners. Such allocations will
be made using income or loss  calculated  under  Generally  Accepted  Accounting
Principles  for book purposes,  which varies from income or loss  calculated for
tax purposes.

     The  calculation  of items of income and loss for book and tax purposes may
result in book  basis  capital  accounts  that  vary from the tax basis  capital
accounts. The requirement to restore any deficit capital balances by the General
Partner  will  be  determined  based  on the  tax  basis  capital  accounts.  At
liquidation  of the  Partnership,  the General  Partner's  remaining  book basis
capital  account  will be reduced to zero  through the  allocation  of income or
loss.

Note 2.    Reclassification.
           ----------------

     Reclassification  - Certain 1999 amounts have been  reclassified to conform
to the 2000 presentation.

Note 3.    Income Taxes.
           ------------

     Federal and state income tax  regulations  provide that taxes on the income
or loss of the  Partnership  are reportable by the partners in their  individual
income tax returns.  Accordingly,  no provision  for such taxes has been made in
the financial statements of the Partnership.

Note 4.    Notes Receivable.
           ----------------

     Impaired  Notes  Receivable.  At September 30, 2000,  the  Partnership  has
investments in notes  receivable,  before allowance for losses, of $7,028,000 of
which $389,000 is considered to be impaired.  The impaired loans of $389,000 are
net of specific  write-downs of $948,000.  The  Partnership has an allowance for
losses of $66,000 as of September 30, 2000. The average  recorded  investment in
impaired  loans  during the nine months  ended  September  30, 2000 and 1999 was
approximately $349,000 and $812,000, respectively.

Note 5.  Net Income (Loss) and Distributions per Limited Partnership Unit.
         ----------------------------------------------------------------

         Net income and distributions per limited partnership unit were based on
the limited  partners'  share of net income and  distributions  and the weighted
average  number of units  outstanding  of 1,875,771  and  1,897,307 for the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999  respectively.  For  purposes  of
allocating income (loss) to each individual partner,  the Partnership  allocates
net income  (loss)  based upon each  respective  limited  partner's  net capital
contributions.

Note 7.      Legal Proceedings.
             -----------------

         On October 28, 1997, a Class Action  Complaint  (the  "Complaint")  was
filed against Phoenix Leasing Inc., Phoenix Leasing Associates, II and III L.P.,
Phoenix   Securities  Inc.  and  Phoenix  American  Inc.  (the  "Companies")  in
California  Superior Court for the County of Sacramento by eleven individuals on
behalf of investors in Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution  Funds I through V (the
"Partnerships").  The  Companies  were served with the  Complaint on December 9,
1997. The Complaint sought  declaratory and other relief  including  accounting,
receivership,  imposition of  constructive  trust and judicial  dissolution  and
winding up of the Partnerships,  and damages based on fraud, breach of fiduciary
duty and  breach  of  contract  by the  Companies  as  general  partners  of the
Partnerships.

         Plaintiffs  severed  one cause of action  from the  Complaint,  a claim
related to the marketing and sale of CDF V, and  transferred  it to Marin County
Superior Court (the "Berger  Action").  Plaintiffs  then dismissed the remaining
claims in  Sacramento  Superior  Court and re-filed  them in a separate  lawsuit
making similar allegations (the "Ash Action").

         The Ash  complaint  includes six causes of action:  breach of fiduciary
duty,  constructive  fraud,  judicial  dissolution of Cash Distribution Fund IV,
judicial  dissolution  of Cash  Distribution  Fund V,  accounting and alter ego.
Defendants  recently  answered the complaint and  discovery has  commenced.  The
plaintiffs'   depositions  have  been  taken,   and  plaintiffs   recently  took
depositions of defendants.

         The Berger  complaint  relates to  alleged  misrepresentations  made in
connection  with the offering of Cash  Distribution  V. Defendants have answered
the  complaint  and discovery has  commenced.  A class has been  certified.  The
plaintiffs'   depositions  have  been  taken,   and  plaintiffs   recently  took
depositions of defendants.

         On August 28, 2000, the Ash and Berger actions were  consolidated  (the
"Consolidated  Action")  pursuant to  stipulation  by both  parties.  Plaintiffs
recently  served a first  request for  production  in the  Consolidated  Action;
defendants  will  respond to the first  request for  production  on November 22,
2000.

         The Companies intend to vigorously defend the Consolidated Action.

         During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000  and  1999,  the
Partnership   recorded   legal  expenses  of   approximately   $0  and  $32,000,
respectively,  in connection with the above litigation as indemnification to the
General Partner.

         The Partnership is not a party to any pending legal  proceedings  which
would have a material adverse impact on its financial position.

                 PHOENIX LEASING CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.

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

Results of Operations

         Phoenix  Leasing Cash  Distribution  Fund V, L.P.  (the  "Partnership")
reported net income of $522,000 and $2,592,000  during the three and nine months
ended  September 30, 2000, as compared to net income of $659,000 and  $1,842,000
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999.

         Total  revenues  increased by $70,000 and  $1,055,000 for the three and
nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to the same period in 1999,
primarily  as a result of an  increase in gain on sale of  securities.  However,
this increase was offset by the decline in rental income from operating  leases,
earned income from finance leases and interest income from notes  receivable for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000,  compared to the same period
in 1999.

         The  Partnership  reported a gain on sale of securities of $304,000 and
$1,862,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively,
compared to $14,000 and $249,000 for the same periods in the previous  year. The
securities  sold,  for both 2000 and 1999,  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 $1,862,000 and $249,000 from the sale of
these  securities  during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and September
30, 1999, respectively. In addition, at September 30, 2000, the Partnership owns
shares  of stock  and stock  warrants  in  emerging  growth  companies  that are
publicly traded with an unrealized gain of approximately  $850,000.  These stock
warrants contain certain restrictions,  but are generally exercisable within one
year.

         Rental  income  decreased  $3,000 and  $205,000  for the three and nine
months  ended  September  30, 2000  compared to the same period in the  previous
year. The decrease in rental income is  attributable to a decrease in the amount
of equipment owned. At September 30, 2000, the Partnership  owned equipment with
an aggregate original cost of approximately  $13.3 million, as compared to $18.3
million at September 30, 1999.  Another factor  contributing  to the decrease in
rental income is the equipment being held for lease. Until new lessees or buyers
of equipment can be found, the equipment will continue to generate  depreciation
expense without any  corresponding  rental income.  The effect of this will be a
reduction of the Partnership earnings during this remarketing period.

         Earned income from financing  leases  decreased by $98,000 and $187,000
during the three and nine months ended  September  30, 2000,  as compared to the
same  period in 1999,  due to a  decrease  in the  Partnership's  investment  in
financing leases. The investment in financing leases was $5 million at September
30, 2000,  as compared to $7 million at September  30, 1999.  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 the
investment  of  the  excess  cash  flows  of  the  Partnership  in  new  leasing
transactions.  During 2000, the  Partnership  made new  investments in financing
leases of $2,453,000, compared to $2,143,000 during 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>


         Interest  income  from  notes  receivable  decreased  by  $137,000  and
$197,000 for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2000,  respectively,
compared  to 1999.  The  decrease in interest  income from notes  receivable  is
attributable  to the  decline in net  investment  in notes  receivable.  The net
investment in notes receivable was $6,962,000 at September 30, 2000, compared to
$10,315,000  at September  30, 1999.  The decrease will be offset in part by the
investment of the excess cash flows of the Partnership in new loan transactions.
During  2000,  the  Partnership  made new  investments  in notes  receivable  of
$2,118,000, compared to $3,322,000 during 1999.

         Total  expenses for the three and nine months ended  September 30, 2000
increased  by  $207,000  and  $305,000,  respectively,  as  compared to the same
periods  in the  previous  year.  These  increases  are  due to an  increase  in
management fees to the General Partner,  reimbursed  administrative costs to the
General  Partner,  amortization of acquisition  fees and provision for losses on
receivables.  The increase in the provision for losses on receivables was due to
the recognition of additional loss reserves for impaired leases. These increases
were offset by  decreases in most other  expenses.  These  decreases  correspond
directly to the reduction in the amount of equipment owned by 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
future  liquidity  of the  Partnership  will depend  upon the General  Partner's
success in collecting  the  contractual  amounts owed, as well as re-leasing and
selling the Partnership's equipment when the lease terms expire.

         The cash  generated  from leasing and financing  activities  during the
nine months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999 was  $7,913,000  and  $7,274,000,
respectively.  The increase in cash generated is  attributable to an increase in
payments from notes  receivable  offset by a decline in payments from  financing
leases.   Payments  from  notes  receivable   increased  due  to  the  continued
acquisition of notes  receivable  during the years 1999 and 2000.  Payments from
financing  leases  decreased  during 2000,  compared to 1999, as a result of the
Partnership's declining investment in financing leases.

         The  Partnership  may  reinvest the cash  generated  by  operating  and
financing activities in new leasing and financing  transactions over the life of
the  Partnership.   During  the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  2000,  the
Partnership acquired new equipment leases of $2.5 million and new investments in
notes receivable of $2.1 million, as compared to $2.1 million in new investments
in equipment leases and $3.3 million in notes receivable  during the same period
in 1999.

         As of September 30, 2000, the  Partnership  owned  equipment being held
for lease with an original cost of $1,716,000  and a net book value of $113,000,
compared to $1,941,000  and $251,000,  respectively,  at September 30, 1999. The
General  Partner  is  actively  engaged,  on  behalf  of  the  Partnership,   in
remarketing and selling the Partnership's equipment as it becomes available.

                                       10

         Distributions from joint ventures decreased by $149,000 during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  2000,  compared to the same  period in 1999.  The
decrease was due to one joint venture  closing  during the third quarter of 1999
and another joint venture closing during the first quarter of 2000.

         The cash  distributed  to partners for the nine months ended  September
30, 2000 was $3,484,000,  as compared to $3,421,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. 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
$3,379,000  and  $3,321,000  in  distributions  during  the  nine  months  ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The cumulative distributions to the
Limited  Partners are  $31,891,000  and $27,380,000 as of September 30, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  The General Partner received $105,000 and $100,000 in cash
distributions   for  the  nine  months  ended   September  30,  2000  and  1999,
respectively.  The  Partnership  anticipates  making  distributions  to partners
during 2000 at the same rate as 1999.

         The cash to be  generated  from  leasing and  financing  operations  is
anticipated to be sufficient to meet the  Partnership's  continuing  operational
expenses.

winding up of the Partnerships,  and damages based on fraud, breach of fiduciary
duty and  breach  of  contract  by the  Companies  as  general  partners  of the
Partnerships.

         Plaintiffs  severed  one cause of action  from the  Complaint,  a claim
related to the marketing and sale of CDF V, and  transferred  it to Marin County
Superior Court (the "Berger  Action").  Plaintiffs  then dismissed the remaining
claims in  Sacramento  Superior  Court and re-filed  them in a separate  lawsuit
making similar allegations (the "Ash Action").

         The Ash  complaint  includes six causes of action:  breach of fiduciary
duty,  constructive  fraud,  judicial  dissolution of Cash Distribution Fund IV,
judicial  dissolution  of Cash  Distribution  Fund V,  accounting and alter ego.
Defendants  recently  answered the complaint and  discovery has  commenced.  The
plaintiffs'   depositions  have  been  taken,   and  plaintiffs   recently  took
depositions of defendants.

         The Berger  complaint  relates to  alleged  misrepresentations  made in
connection  with the offering of Cash  Distribution  V. Defendants have answered
the  complaint  and discovery has  commenced.  A class has been  certified.  The
plaintiffs'   depositions  have  been  taken,   and  plaintiffs   recently  took
depositions of defendants.

         On August 28, 2000, the Ash and Berger actions were  consolidated  (the
"Consolidated  Action")  pursuant to  stipulation  by both  parties.  Plaintiffs
recently  served a first  request for  production  in the  Consolidated  Action;
defendants  will  respond to the first  request for  production  on November 22,
2000.

         The Companies intend to vigorously defend the Consolidated Action.
