                 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  June  30,  2000,  the  Partnership  has
investments in notes  receivable,  before allowance for losses, of $8,309,000 of
which $315,000 is considered to be impaired.  The impaired loans of $315,000 are
net of specific  write-downs of $862,000.  The  Partnership has an allowance for
losses of  $65,000 as of June 30,  2000.  The  average  recorded  investment  in
impaired  loans  during  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999  was
approximately $329,000 and $861,000, 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 1,878,223  and  1,899,901  for the six
months ended June 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").

         In the Ash action,  Plaintiffs  have filed a fourth  amended  complaint
which  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.  Plaintiffs  have served four requests for production on
July 25,  2000.  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  Fund V.  Defendants  have
answered the complaint and discovery has commenced.  A class has been certified.
Plaintiffs  have served three requests for production;  defendants  responded to
the third request for production on July 25, 2000. The plaintiffs deposition has
been taken and plaintiffs recently took depositions of defendants.

         The Companies intend to vigorously defend both actions.

         During the six months  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999,  the  Partnership
recorded  legal  expenses of  approximately  $0 and  $19,000,  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.

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 $600,000 and  $2,070,000  during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2000, as compared to net income of $718,000 and $1,183,000 during
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999.

         Total revenues  increased by $985,000 for the six months ended June 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 and earned income from finance
leases for the six months  ended June 30,  2000,  compared to the same period in
1999.  Total revenues  decreased by $302,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2000, as compared to the same period in 1999, primarily as a result of a decline
in rental income from operating leases and earned income from finance leases.

         The  Partnership  reported a gain on sale of securities of $317,000 and
$1,558,000  for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  2000,  respectively,
compared to $222,000 and $235,000 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 $1,558,000 and $235,000 from the sale of
these  securities  during the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999,
respectively.  In addition,  at June 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 $718,000.  These stock warrants contain
certain restrictions, but are generally exercisable within one year.

              Rental  income  decreased  $198,000 and $203,000 for the three and
six months ended June 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 June 30, 2000,  the  Partnership  owned  equipment with an
aggregate  original cost of  approximately  $13.6 million,  as compared to $21.8
million at June 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 $30,000 and $91,000
during the three and six months  ended June 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 June 30, 2000, as
compared to $7 million at June 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 $1,160,000, compared
to $771,000 during 1999.

                                       9
<PAGE>


         Total  expenses  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000  increased  by
$98,000,  as compared to the same period in the previous year.  This increase is
due to an increase of $50,000 in  management  fees to the General  Partner and a
$41,000  increase in  reimbursed  administrative  costs to the General  Partner.
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.  Total expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000, decreased
by $184,000,  as compared to the same period in the previous year. This decrease
was due to the  decrease in the  recognition  of  additional  loss  reserves for
impaired notes receivable.

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 six
months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $5,636,000 and $4,801,000, 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 six months  ended June 30, 2000,  the  Partnership
acquired  new  equipment  leases  of  $1,160,000  and new  investments  in notes
receivable  of $1.8  million,  as compared to  $771,000  in new  investments  in
equipment leases and $2.7 million in notes receivable  during the same period in
1999.

         As of June 30, 2000, the  Partnership  owned  equipment  being held for
lease with an  original  cost of  $1,798,000  and a net book  value of  $15,000,
compared to $4,197,000 and $71,000,  respectively, at June 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.

         Distributions  from joint ventures  decreased by $61,000 during the six
months  ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2000
was $2,325,000,  as compared to $2,249,000  during the six months ended June 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  $2,255,000 and
$2,184,000 in distributions  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.   The  cumulative   distributions  to  the  Limited  Partners  are
$30,767,000  and  $26,245,000  as of June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The
General Partner received $70,000 and $65,000 in cash  distributions  for the six

                                       10
<PAGE>

months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  The Partnership anticipates
making distributions to partners during 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.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

         The  General  Partner  has  appointed  ResourcePhoenix.com.  (RPC),  an
affiliate of the General Partner, to manage its Year 2000 project.

         RPC has a Year 2000 project plan in place and a "Y2K Project  Team" has
been appointed.  The team has identified risks, and has implemented  remediation
procedures for its Year 2000 issues. RPC has budgeted for the necessary changes,
built  contingency  plans,  and has  progressed  along the  scheduled  timeline.
Installation  of all remediation  changes to critical  software and hardware was
completed on November 5, 1999. As of July 31, 2000, RPC has not  encountered any
material year 2000  problems with the hardware and software  systems used in our
operations.  In  addition,  none of RPC's  critical  vendors  have  reported any
material  year 2000  problems nor have they  experienced  any decline in service
levels from such vendors.

         RPC will continue to monitor  internal and external  issues  related to
year 2000.

         Costs incurred by the Partnership  will be expensed as incurred and are
not currently anticipated to be material to the Partnership's financial position

                 PHOENIX LEASING CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.

                                  June 30, 2000

                           Part II. Other Information.
                                    -----------------


Item 1.  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").

         In the Ash action,  Plaintiffs  have filed a fourth  amended  complaint
which  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.  Plaintiffs  have served four requests for production on
July 25,  2000.  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  Fund V.  Defendants  have
answered the complaint and discovery has commenced.  A class has been certified.
Plaintiffs  have served three requests for production;  defendants  responded to
the third request for production on July 25, 2000. The plaintiffs deposition has
been taken and plaintiffs recently took depositions of defendants.

         The Companies intend to vigorously defend both actions.
