                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


1.  Interim financial statements:

The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of the general partners,  necessary to a fair statement of financial
position and results of operations for the interim periods  presented.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These unaudited interim financial
statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the most recent  report on Form
10K.


2. Organization and partnership matters:

ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws
of the State of California  on September 23, 1992,  for the purpose of acquiring
equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities.  Contributions in
the  aggregate  of $600 were  received  as of  October  6,  1992,  $100 of which
represented  the  General  Partner's  continuing  interest,  and  $500 of  which
represented the Initial Limited Partners' capital investment.

Upon the sale of the  minimum  amount of Units of Limited  Partnership  interest
(Units) of $1,200,000 and the receipt of the proceeds thereof on March 19, 1993,
the Partnership commenced operations.  The Fund or the General Partner on behalf
of the Fund, will incur costs in connection with the organization,  registration
and  issuance  of the Units.  The amount of such costs to be born by the Fund is
limited by certain provisions in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

The Fund does not make a provision  for income taxes since all income and losses
will be allocated to the Partners for inclusion in their individual tax returns.


3. Investment in leases:

The Partnership's investment in leases consists of the following:

6. Partner's capital:

The Fund is authorized to issue up to  12,500,000  Units of Limited  Partnership
interest in addition to the Initial Limited Partners.

The Fund's Net Profits,  Net Losses and Tax Credits are to be  allocated  99% to
the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.

As more fully described in the Agreement of Limited Partnership,  available Cash
from  Operations  and Cash from Sales or  Refinancing  shall be  distributed  as
follows:

     First, 5% of  Distributions  of Cash from Operations to the General Partner
as Incentive Management Fees.

     Second, the balance to the Limited Partners until the Limited Partners have
          received aggregate  Distributions,  as defined,  in an amount equal to
          their  Original  Invested  Capital,  as defined,  plus a 10% per annum
          cumulative  (compounded  daily)  return  on  their  Adjusted  Invested
          Capital, as defined.

     Third,  the General Partner will receive as Incentive  Management Fees, the
following:

           (A) 10% of remaining Cash from Operations, as defined,

           (B) 15% of remaining Cash from Sales or Refinancing, as defined.

     Fourth, the balance to the Limited Partners.


7.  Line of credit:

The  Partnership  participates  with the  General  Partner  and  certain  of its
Affiliates in a $90,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of financial
institutions  which  expires on October  28,  1998.  The  agreement  includes an
acquisition  facility to be used by the  Partnership  and  Affiliates to provide
bridge financing for assets on leases.  Draws on the acquisition facility by any
individual  borrower  are  secured  only by that  borrower's  assets,  including
equipment and related leases.

At September 30, 1997, the  Partnership  had $2,000,000 of borrowings  under the
line of credit.

The credit agreement  includes certain  financial  covenants  applicable to each
borrower.  The  Partnership was in compliance with its covenants as of September
30, 1997.

<PAGE>

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

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies,
but in the event those  reserves were found to be  inadequate,  the  Partnership
would  likely be in a position to borrow  against its current  portfolio to meet
such  requirements.  The General  Partner  envisions  no such  requirements  for
operating purposes.

As of  September  30,  1997,  the  Partnership  had  borrowed  $56,593,183.  The
remaining unpaid balance as of that date was $40,800,146.  Long-term  borrowings
are to be  non-recourse  to the  Partnership,  that is, the only recourse of the
lender will be to the equipment or corresponding  lease acquired or secured with
the loan proceeds.  The General Partner expects that aggregate borrowings in the
future will be approximately 40% of aggregate  equipment cost. In any event, the
Agreement of Limited Partnership limits such borrowings to 40% of the total cost
of equipment, in aggregate.

The  Partnership  participates  with the  General  Partner  and  certain  of its
affiliates  in  a  $90,000,000   revolving  line  of  credit  with  a  financial
institution. The line of credit expires on October 28, 1998.

No  commitments  of capital  have been or are expected to be made other than for
the acquisition of additional equipment. As of September 30, 1997, there were no
such commitments.

If  inflation  in the general  economy  becomes  significant,  it may affect the
Partnership  inasmuch as the residual  (resale) values and rates on re-leases of
the  Partnership's  leased  assets may  increase as the costs of similar  assets
increase.  However,  the  Partnership's  revenues from existing leases would not
increase,  as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without
adjustment for inflation.

If interest rates increase  significantly,  the lease rates that the Partnership
can obtain on future  leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital
is a significant  factor in the pricing of lease  financing.  Leases  already in
place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.

In 1997, the Partnership's most significant source of cash was lease rents.

Cash flows - 1997 vs. 1996:

In both 1997 and 1996, the Partnership's  primary source of operating cash flows
was  operating  lease rents.  Lease rents have  decreased by $563,356  (3%) as a
result of asset sales over the last year.

In 1997,  the largest  source of cash from  investing  activities was rents from
direct  financing  leases.  In 1996 the  largest  source of cash from  investing
activities  was the proceeds  from sales of lease assets.  In 1996,  lease rents
from  direct  financing  and  leveraged  lease   transactions  also  provided  a
significant amount of cash flows.

In 1997 and 1996, the only financing sources of cash were borrowings,  either as
the proceeds of  non-recourse  debt (1997 and 1996) or as borrowings on the line
of credit (1996).



<PAGE>

Results of operations - 1997 vs. 1996

Operating leases are the Partnership's primary source of revenues. Such revenues
decreased by $373,379  (2%) compared to 1996.  The decrease  resulted from asset
sales over the last year.  Depreciation expense is directly related to operating
lease assets and has also decreased  compared to 1996 as a result of these asset
sales.  Management  fees  are  based  on  the  Partnership's  revenues  and  its
distributions  to the  Limited  Partners.  As a result of the  decrease in lease
revenues,  management  fees have declined  compared to 1996.  Debt balances have
been reduced by scheduled debt payments and this has resulted in the decrease of
$165,421 in interest expense compared to 1996.
