1.  Summary of significant accounting policies:

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 Partnership or the General Partner on
behalf of the Partnership, will incur costs in connection with the organization,
registration  and issuance of the Units.  The amount of such costs to be born by
the Partnership is limited by certain provisions in the Partnership Agreement.

As of  November  15,  1994,  the  Partnership  had  received  subscriptions  for
12,500,000 Limited  Partnership Units  ($125,000,000) in addition to the Initial
Limited  Partners' 50 Units.  Of those  Units,  12,497,000  ($124,970,000)  were
issued and outstanding as of March 31, 1997.

The Partnership  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.

assignments  of lease  payments and pledges of the assets  which were  purchased
with the proceeds of the particular notes. Interest rates on the notes vary from
6.5% to 10.53%.


Future minimum principal payments of non-recourse debt are as follows:

5.  Related party transactions:

The terms of the Limited Partnership  Agreement provide that the General Partner
and/or   Affiliates   are  entitled  to  receive   certain  fees  for  equipment
acquisition, management and resale and for management of the Partnership.

The Limited Partnership Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs incurred
by the General Partner in providing  administrative services to the Partnership.
Administrative  services  provided  include  Partnership  accounting,   investor
relations,  legal  counsel and lease and  equipment  documentation.  The General
Partner  is not  reimbursed  for  services  where it is  entitled  to  receive a
separate  fee as  compensation  for  such  services,  such  as  acquisition  and
management of equipment.  Reimbursable costs incurred by the General Partner are
allocated  to the  Partnership  based upon  actual time  incurred  by  employees
working on Partnership  business and an allocation of rent and other costs based
on utilization studies.

Substantially  all  employees  of the General  Partner  record time  incurred in
performing administrative services on behalf of all of the Partnerships serviced
by the General  Partner.  The General Partner believes that the costs reimbursed
are the lower of (i) actual costs incurred on behalf of the  Partnership or (ii)
the amount the  Partnership  would be  required to pay  independent  parties for
comparable  administrative  services  in the same  geographic  location  and are
reimbursable in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement.

The  General   Partner   and/or   Affiliates   earned  fees,   commissions   and
reimbursements, pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement as follows:

6. Partner's capital:

As of March 31, 1995,  12,500,000 Units of Limited  Partnership (Units) interest
were issued and  outstanding  (in addition to the 50 Units issued to the initial
Limited Partners). The Partnership is authorized to issue up to 12,500,000 Units
in addition to those issued to the initial Limited Partners.

The  Partnership'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  Partnership  Agreement,  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,  1997.  The  agreement  includes an
acquisition  facility and a warehouse  facility which are used 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.  Borrowings on the warehouse facility are recourse
jointly to certain of the Affiliates, the Partnership and the General Partner.

At March 31, 1997, the Partnership  had $7,200,000 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 March 31,
1997.






<PAGE>

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

Capital Resources and Liquidity

In 1997, the Partnership's  primary source of cash was operating lease rents. In
1996, the  Partnership's  primary sources of liquidity were borrowings under the
line of credit,  proceeds of non-recourse  debt and rents from operating leases.
The  liquidity of the  Partnership  will vary in the future,  increasing  to the
extent cash flows from leases and proceeds from asset sales exceed expenses, and
decreasing  as lease  assets  are  acquired,  as  distributions  are made to the
limited  partners and to the extent  expenses  exceed cash flows from leases and
proceeds from sales of assets.

As another source of liquidity, the Partnership has contractual obligations with
a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As
the  initial  lease  terms  expire the  Partnership  will  re-lease  or sell the
equipment.  The future  liquidity  beyond the  contractual  minimum rentals will
depend on the General  Partner's  success in re-leasing or selling the equipment
as it comes off lease.

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, 1997.

The Partnership  anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets
owned in new leasing  transactions.  Such reinvestment will occur only after the
payment  of  all  obligations,   including  debt  service  (both  principal  and
interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to the General Partner
and providing for cash distributions to the Limited Partners.

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 March 31, 1997, the Partnership had borrowed $52,621,825 on a non-recourse
basis with  remaining  unpaid  balances  of  $40,887,413.  Borrowings  are to be
generally  non-recourse  to the  Partnership,  that is, the only recourse of the
lender  upon a default  by the  lessee on the  underlying  lease  will be to the
equipment or  corresponding  lease acquired with the loan  proceeds.  As of that
date, the Partnership also had outstanding balances of $7,200,000 on its line of
credit. The General Partner expects that aggregate borrowings in the future will
not exceed 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.

No  commitments  of capital  have been or are expected to be made other than for
the acquisition of additional equipment.  Such commitments totaled approximately
$1,965,000 as of May 1, 1997.

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.


<PAGE>

                 1997 vs. 1996:

In both 1997 and 1996, the  Partnership's  primary  operating source of cash was
revenues from operating  leases.  Operating lease revenues were almost unchanged
from 1996.

In 1997, the  Partnership's  primary  sources of cash from investing  activities
were rents on direct financing and leveraged leases (accounted for as reductions
in the net  investment  in such  leases)  and  proceeds  from the sales of lease
assets.  Cash was used in  investing  activities  for the  purchase of operating
lease assets and direct financing lease assets. Cash flows from direct financing
increased from 1996 due to  acquisitions of direct finance lease assets over the
prior twelve months.

In 1996, the  Partnership's  primary  sources of cash from financing  activities
were  non-recourse  debt proceeds and  borrowings  under the line of credit.  In
1997,  the single  largest  financing use of cash was  distributions  to limited
partners.  The amount of such  distributions did not change  significantly  from
1996 to 1997.  In  1996,  the  largest  uses of this  cash  were  repayments  of
borrowings  under the line of credit and for the  purchase  of  operating  lease
assets as noted above.


Results of operations

                 1996 vs. 1995:

Operations  resulted in net income of  $718,604 in 1997  compared to $746,818 in
1996. The  Partnership's  primary  source of revenues is from operating  leases.
This is expected to remain true in future periods.  Depreciation  expense is the
single largest expense of the Partnership and is expected to remain so in future
periods.  Operating lease revenues and depreciation  expense have both decreased
as a result of sales of operating  lease assets over the previous twelve months.
Equipment management fees are based on the Partnership's rental revenues and are
expected to decrease in  relation  to expected  decreases  in the  Partnership's
revenues  from  leases.  Incentive  management  fees are based on the  levels of
distributions   to  limited   partners.   Management   fees  have  not   changed
significantly  compared  to 1996.  Interest  expense  is  expected  to  decrease
significantly  in future periods as scheduled debt payments  reduce the balances
of non-recourse debt.
