Item 1:  BUSINESS

General Development of Business

ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws
of the State of California in September 1992. The Partnership was formed for the
purpose  of  acquiring  equipment  to  engage  in  equipment  leasing  and sales
activities.

The  Partnership  conducted  a public  offering of  12,500,000  units of Limited
Partnership  interest  (Units),  at a price of $10 per Unit.  As of November 15,
1994, the  Partnership  had received and accepted  subscriptions  for 12,500,000
($125,000,000)  Limited  Partnership  Units in addition  to the Initial  Limited
Partners' Units and the offering was terminated. Of those Units, 12,497,000 were
issued  and  outstanding  as of  December  31,  1999 and 1998.  Of the  proceeds
received,  $11,875,000 was paid to ATEL Securities  Corporation,  a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ATEL Financial  Corporation (ATEL) (the General Partner), as sales
commissions,  $5,738,415 was paid to the General  Partner as  reimbursements  of
organization  and  other   syndication   costs,   $1,875,000  was  reserved  for
repurchases  of Units and  working  capital  and  $105,511,585  has been used to
acquire leased equipment,  including  acquisition fees paid or to be paid to the
General Partner.

The Partnership's  principal objectives are to invest in a diversified portfolio
of  equipment  which will (i)  preserve,  protect  and return the  Partnership's
invested  capital;  (ii) generate  substantial  distributions to the partners of
cash  from  operations  and cash from  sales or  refinancing,  with any  balance
remaining after certain minimum  distributions to be used to purchase additional
equipment  during the  reinvestment  period,  ending December 31, 2000 and (iii)
provide  significant  distributions  following the reinvestment period and until
all  equipment  has been  sold.  The  Partnership  is  governed  by its  Limited
Partnership Agreement.


Narrative Description of Business

The  Partnership  has acquired and intends to acquire various types of equipment
and to lease such  equipment  pursuant to  "Operating"  leases and "Full Payout"
leases,  where  "Operating"  leases  are  defined  as being  leases in which the
minimum  lease  payments  during the initial  lease term do not recover the full
cost of the  equipment  and "Full  Payout"  leases  recover such cost. It is the
intention of the General Partner that no more than 25% of the aggregate purchase
price of equipment will be subject to "Operating"  leases upon final  investment
of the Net Proceeds of the  Offering and that no more than 20% of the  aggregate
purchase price of equipment will be invested in equipment acquired from a single
manufacturer.

The Partnership only purchases equipment for which a lease exists or for which a
lease will be entered  into at the time of the  purchase.  The  Partnership  has
completed its initial  acquisition stage with the investment of the net proceeds
from the  public  offering  of Units.  As noted  above,  however,  it intends to
continue  to invest any cash flow in excess of certain  amounts  required  to be
distributed  to the Limited  Partners in  additional  items of leased  equipment
through December 31, 2000.

As of December 31, 1999, the  Partnership  had purchased  equipment with a total
acquisition price of $186,995,157.



                                       2
<PAGE>

The  Partnership's  objective  is to  lease a  minimum  of 75% of the  equipment
acquired  with the net  proceeds of the  offering  to lessees  which (i) have an
aggregate credit rating by Moody's Investor  Service,  Inc. of Baa or better, or
the credit  equivalent as determined by the General Partner,  with the aggregate
rating weighted to account for the original  equipment cost for each item leased
or  (ii)  are  established   hospitals  with  histories  of   profitability   or
municipalities.  The balance of the  original  equipment  portfolio  may include
equipment leased to lessees which,  although deemed  creditworthy by the General
Partner, would not satisfy the general credit rating criteria for the portfolio.
In excess of 75% of the equipment acquired with the net proceeds of the offering
(based on original  purchase  cost) had been leased to lessees with an aggregate
credit rating of Baa or better or to such  hospitals or  municipalities.  During
1999, no single lessee generated 10% of the Partnership's lease revenues. During
1998  and  1997,   certain  lessees  generated   significant   portions  of  the
Partnership's total lease revenues as follows:

                                                    Percentage of Total Lease
                                                            Revenues
         Lessee                Type of Equipment      1998            1997
         ------                -----------------      ----            ----
Burlington Northern Railroad   Locomotives             14%             19%
The Pittston Company           Mining                  11%             14%

These percentages are not expected to be comparable in future periods.

The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive.  Equipment  manufacturers,
corporations, partnerships and others offer users an alternative to the purchase
of most types of equipment with payment terms which vary widely depending on the
lease term and type of  equipment.  The ability of the  Partnership  to keep the
equipment leased and/or operating and the terms of the acquisitions,  leases and
dispositions  of equipment  depends on various factors (many of which are not in
the control of the General Partner or the Partnership), such as general economic
conditions, including the effects of inflation or recession, and fluctuations in
supply and demand for various  types of equipment  resulting  from,  among other
things, technological and economic obsolescence.

The General  Partner will seek to limit the amount  invested in equipment to any
single lessee to not more than 20% of the aggregate  purchase price of equipment
owned at any time during the reinvestment period.

The business of the Partnership is not seasonal.

The Partnership has no full time employees.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

No material legal  proceedings are currently  pending against the Partnership or
against any of its assets.

In October  1997,  Schwegmann's  Giant  Supermarkets,  one of the  Partnership's
lessees, defaulted on two of five locations of retail grocery store fixtures and
equipment,  the lease payments,  and certain other  obligations under the lease,
with a receivable  balance currently totaling  approximately  $1.7 million.  The
remaining portion of the lease payments with respect to three of five stores was
assumed by SGSM  Acquisition  Company  ("SGSM").  Payments with respect to these
leases remained  current until February 1999;  however,  on March 26, 1999, SGSM
filed  for  protection  under  Chapter  11 of  the  U.S.  Bankruptcy  Code.  The
Partnership  is  currently  pursuing  damages  in the  amount  of $2.8  million,
representing  amounts  due  under  the  lease.  The  lessee  claims  that it has
sufficient  assets to satisfy the claims of all secured creditors of the lessee;
however, as the lessee's assets are primarily  relatively illiquid real property
investments,  the timing of the  liquidation  of such  assets  have  resulted in
delays in the payments to the lessee's  creditors.  As of this date, the General
Partner  believes  that it has a reasonable  basis for asserting a likelihood of
recovering most or all of the amounts claimed.

On January 16, 1998, Pegasus Gold Corporation filed for protection under Chapter
11. The initial  meeting of creditors  established by the  Bankruptcy  Court was
held on March 9, 1998.  The lessee's lease with the  Partnership  had previously
been leveraged on a non-recourse basis with The CIT  Group/Equipment  Financing,
Inc. ("CIT"), and all lease receivables  (estimated at $6,032,460) were assigned
to the lender.  Consequently,  the Partnership's exposure is no greater than the
fair  market  residual  value  of  the  equipment  under  lease,   estimated  at
$1,101,803. The reorganized lessee/debtor has assumed the Partnership's lease in
the  Bankruptcy  Court and,  made all past due  payments.  The  Partnership  has
entered  into an  Escrow  Agreement  with CIT,  wherein  CIT has  agreed  not to
foreclose  on the  Partnership's  interest  so long as the lessee  continues  to
perform  under the  lease.  At this  time,  the  lessee is  current in its lease
obligations. The ultimate recovery under this lease is dependent on the price of
gold remaining

On December  31,  1997,  Quaker Coal  Company  requested a  moratorium  on lease
payments from January  through  March 1998. No lease  payments were made through
June of 1998. As a result,  the General  Partner  declared the lease in default.
Subsequently,  the lessee made the outstanding  payments,  however,  the General
Partner  refused to waive the default and insisted on additional  damages in the
range of $993,000 to $1,370,000. The General Partner sued the lessee for damages
and is currently awaiting judgement from the court. The General Partner believes
that an adverse ruling would not have a material impact on the operations of the
Partnership.  The  amounts  of  these  damages  have not  been  included  in the
financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.

Item 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS
              AND RELATED MATTERS

Market Information

The Units are transferable  subject to restrictions on transfers which have been
imposed under the securities  laws of certain  states.  However,  as a result of
such restrictions, the size of the Partnership and its investment objectives, to
the General Partner's knowledge,  no established public secondary trading market
has developed and it is unlikely  that a public  trading  market will develop in
the future.



                                       5

Holders

As of December 31, 1999, a total of 7,364 investors were record holders of Units
in the Partnership.

Dividends

The  Partnership  does not make  dividend  distributions.  However,  the Limited
Partners of the  Partnership are entitled to certain  distributions  as provided
under the Limited Partnership Agreement.

The General  Partner  shall have sole  discretion in  determining  the amount of
distributions;  provided, however, that the General Partner will not reinvest in
equipment,  but will  distribute,  subject to payment of any  obligations of the
Partnership,  such  available  cash  from  operations  and  cash  from  sales or
refinancing  as may be  necessary  to cause total  distributions  to the Limited
Partners  for each year during the  reinvestment  period to equal the  following
amounts per unit:  $1.05 in 1995 and 1996;  $1.10 in 1997 and 1998; and $1.20 in
1999 and 2000.

The rate for monthly  distributions  from 1997 operations was $0.09166 per Unit.
The  distributions  were made in  February  1997  through  December  1997 and in
January 1998. For each quarterly  distribution  (made in April, July and October
1997 and in January 1998) the rate was $0.275 per Unit.  Distributions were from
1997 cash  flows  from  operations.  The  amounts  paid to holders of Units were
adjusted  based on the length of time  within  the  previous  calendar  month or
quarter that the Units were outstanding.

The rate for monthly  distributions from 1998 operations was $0.10 per Unit. The
distributions  were made in February  1998 through  December 1998 and in January
1999. For each quarterly  distribution (made in April, July and October 1998 and
in January 1999) the rate was $0.30 per Unit.  Distributions were from 1998 cash
flows from operations.  The amounts paid to holders of Units were adjusted based
on the length of time within the  previous  calendar  month or quarter  that the
Units were outstanding.

The rate for monthly  distributions from 1999 operations was $0.10 per Unit. The
distributions  were made in February  1999 through  December 1999 and in January
2000. For each quarterly  distribution (made in April, July and October 1999 and
in January 2000) the rate was $0.30 per Unit.  Distributions were from 1999 cash
flows from operations.  The amounts paid to holders of Units were adjusted based
on the length of time within the  previous  calendar  month or quarter  that the
Units were outstanding.

The following table presents summarized  information regarding  distributions to
Limited Partners:

Item 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
             CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Partnership's public offering provided for a total maximum capitalization of
$125,000,000.

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 asset sales.

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  $95,000,000   revolving  line  of  credit  with  a  financial
institution  that  includes  certain  financial  covenants.  The line of  credit
expires on April 30,  2000.  As of December  31, 1999,  the  Partnership  had no
borrowings  under  this  line of  credit  and  the  remaining  availability  was
$21,857,103.

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.  At December 31,
1999, there were no commitments to purchase lease assets.



                                       7
<PAGE>

As of December 31, 1999, cash balances  consisted of working capital and amounts
reserved for distributions in January 2000, generated from operations in 1999.

The Partnership  currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate
cash requirements,  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  December  31,  1999,  the  Partnership   had  borrowed   $58,317,911  of
non-recourse debt. The remaining unpaid balance as of that date was $22,138,639.

The Partnership's long-term borrowings are non-recourse to the Partnership, that
is, the only recourse of the lender is to the equipment or  corresponding  lease
acquired with the loan proceeds.  The Partnership may only incur additional debt
to the extent that the then outstanding balance of all such debt,  including the
additional  debt,  does not exceed 40% of the original  cost of the lease assets
then owned by the  Partnership,  including  any such assets  purchased  with the
proceeds of such additional debt.

The  Partnership  commenced  regular  distributions,  based on cash  flows  from
operations, beginning with the second quarter of 1993. See Items 5 and 6 of this
report for additional information regarding the distributions.

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 future  periods,  cash flows from  operating  leases are  expected  to be the
Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operations.

Cash Flows

           1999 vs. 1998:

In 1999,  operating  lease rents were the  Partnership's  primary source of cash
flows from  operating  activities.  Cash flows from  operations  decreased  from
$15,715,879  in 1998 to  $10,478,968  in 1999,  a decrease of  $5,236,911.  This
decrease resulted from decreases in operating lease revenues from $18,651,503 in
1998 to $13,469,113 in 1999, a decrease of $5,182,390.

Sources  of cash  from  investing  activities  consisted  of rents  from  direct
financing  leases and proceeds from sales of lease assets.  Such financing lease
rents  decreased  from  $3,019,154  in 1998 to $2,160,238 in 1999, a decrease of
$858,916.  Proceeds from sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent
from one year to another and decreased from $13,675,178 in 1998 to $5,186,472 in
1999, a decrease of $8,488,706.

There were no financing sources of cash in 1999. Repayments of debt decreased as
a result of scheduled debt payments.

           1998 vs. 1997:

Cash flows from operations decreased by $830,594 compared to 1997. This decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in operating  lease rents of $1,501,869.  Direct
financing lease revenues decreased by $643,234 compared to 1997.



                                       8
<PAGE>

In 1998, cash flows from investing activities consisted of the proceeds of lease
asset sales  ($13,675,178) and rents from direct financing leases  ($3,019,154).
Proceeds from sales of lease assets  increased by $10,538,252  compared to 1997.
This reflects  primarily  the increased  sales of assets coming off of operating
leases.  The  cost of such  assets  sold in 1998  was  $19,583,222  compared  to
$1,983,077 in 1997.  Proceeds from these sales are not expected to be comparable
from one year to another.

In 1998,  the only source of cash from  financing  activities was the $1,000,000
borrowed on the line of credit.  Cash was used in financing  activities to repay
non-recourse debt and to make distributions to the limited partners.

Results of Operations

As of March 19,  1993,  subscriptions  for the  minimum  amount of the  offering
($1,200,000) had been received and accepted by the Partnership. As of that date,
the  Partnership   commenced   operations  in  its  primary  business   (leasing
activities).

As of  December  31,  1999,  26% of total  equipment  at cost  (21% at  December
31,1998)  was  leased to  lessees  in the rail  transportation  industry.  As of
December 31, 1999, 14% of total equipment at cost (less than 10% at December 31,
1998) was leased to lessees in the petroleum and coal products  industry.  As of
December 31, 1999, 13% of total equipment at cost (14% at December 31, 1998) was
leased to lessees in the mining  industry.  Leases are subject to ATEL's  credit
committee  review.  The  leases  provide  for the return of the  equipment  upon
default.  The concentration of the  Partnership's  assets in these industries is
not known to have had any effect on the Partnership's  results of operations nor
is there any known  trend  regarding  these  industries  that  would  effect its
operations in future periods.

           1999 vs. 1998:

Overall, net income increased from $4,861,233 in 1998 to $5,198,570 in 1999. The
increase of $337,337 was the result of a number of largely  offsetting  factors.
Operating  lease  revenues  declined  by  $5,182,390  ($18,651,503  in 1998  and
$13,469,113 in 1999),  but the related  depreciation  on operating  lease assets
decreased  by  $3,655,354  ($11,145,876  in 1998  and  $7,490,522  in  1999),  a
difference of  $1,527,036.  Both of these  decreases are related to the sales of
lease  assets  at the end of the  lease  terms  in both  1998 and  1999.  Direct
financing lease revenues declined from $2,139,981 in 1998 to $1,905,218 in 1999,
a decrease of  $234,763.  This  decrease is also the result of lease asset sales
over the last two years.

Gains on sales of assets in 1999 increased from $1,050,907 in 1998 to $1,291,920
in 1999, an increase of $241,013.  Such gains are not,  however,  expected to be
consistent from one year to another.

Interest  expense has  decreased as a result of scheduled  debt payments and the
consequent reductions of the outstanding balances.

Equipment management fees are based on the revenues of the Partnership. As those
revenues have declined, the management fees have decreased as well.

           1998 vs. 1997:

Operations in 1998  resulted in net income of $4,861,233  compared to $1,813,431
in 1997.

Operating lease revenues and  depreciation  expense  decreased by $1,501,869 and
$1,463,181,  respectively,  as a result of the asset sales noted above under the
caption  "Cash  Flows".  Revenues  from direct  financing  leases  decreased  by
$643,234 in 1998, as compared to 1997 as a result of asset sales.  The decreases
in operating and direct  financing  lease revenues were  partially  offset by an
increase in the gain recognized on sales of assets of $705,567 during 1998. Such
gains are not expected to be consistent from one year to another.



                                       9
<PAGE>

Interest expense  decreased by $861,031  compared to 1997. The decrease resulted
from scheduled debt payments and the resulting decreases in debt balances.

The provision  for losses and  impairments  decreased by $1,645,693  compared to
1997. The 1997 expense included a provision directly related to the Pegasus Gold
lease  (see  Note  10 to the  financial  statements  included  in item 8 of this
report). There were no similar defaults in 1998.


Impact of the Year 2000

To date, the Partnership  has experienced no significant  year 2000 problems and
the General  Partner  believes it does not have  continued  exposure to the year
2000 problem.


Item 7a.  QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Partnership,  like most other companies, is exposed to certain market risks,
including  primarily  changes in interest rates.  The  Partnership  believes its
exposure to other market risks including  foreign  currency  exchange rate risk,
commodity  risk and equity price risk are  insignificant  to both its  financial
position and results of operations.

In  general,  the  Partnership  manages its  exposure  to interest  rate risk by
obtaining  fixed rate debt. The fixed rate debt is structured so as to match the
cash flows required to service the debt to the payment  streams under fixed rate
lease receivables.  The payments under the leases are assigned to the lenders in
satisfaction of the debt.  Furthermore,  the Partnership has  historically  been
able to maintain a stable  spread  between its cost of funds and lease yields in
both  periods  of  rising  and  falling  rates.  Nevertheless,  the  Partnership
frequently  funds leases with its floating  rate line of credit and is therefore
exposed to interest  rate risk until fixed rate  financing is  arranged,  or the
floating  rate line of credit is repaid.  As of December 31, 1999,  there was no
outstanding balance on the floating rate line of credit.

To hedge  its  interest  rate risk  related  to this  variable  rate  debt,  the
Partnership  may enter into  interest  rate swaps.  As of December 31, 1999,  no
swaps or other  derivative  financial  instruments were held by the Partnership.
The  Partnership  does not hold or issue  derivative  financial  instruments for
speculative purposes.

The Partners
ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P.


We have audited the accompanying  balance sheets of ATEL Cash  Distribution Fund
V, L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related  statements of income,
changes in partners' capital,  and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period  ended   December  31,  1999.   These   financial   statements   are  the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  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 financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V,
L.P. at December 31, 1999 and 1998,  and the results of its  operations  and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1999


1.  Organization and Partnership matters:

ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws
of the State of  California  in  September  1992,  for the purpose of  acquiring
equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities.

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 General Partner of the Partnership is ATEL Financial Corporation (ATEL).

The  Partnership or the General Partner on behalf of the  Partnership,  incurred
costs in  connection  with the  organization,  registration  and issuance of the
Units.  The amount of such costs to be borne by the  Partnership  was limited to
15% of Gross Proceeds of up to  $25,000,000  and 14% of Gross Proceeds in excess
of $25,000,000.

The Partnership's business consists of leasing various types of equipment. As of
December 31, 1999,  the original  terms of the leases  ranged from two months to
twenty years.

Pursuant to the Limited  Partnership  Agreement,  the General  Partner  receives
compensation  and   reimbursements  for  services  rendered  on  behalf  of  the
Partnership  (Note 5).  The  General  Partner is  required  to  maintain  in the
Partnership  reasonable  cash reserves for working  capital,  the  repurchase of
Units and contingencies.


2.  Summary of significant accounting policies:

Equipment on operating leases:

Equipment on operating leases is stated at cost.  Depreciation is being provided
by use of the  straight-line  method over the terms of the related leases to the
equipment's estimated residual values at the end of the leases.

Revenues  from  operating  leases  are  recognized  evenly  over the life of the
related leases.

Direct financing leases:

Income from direct  financing  lease  transactions  is reported on the financing
method  of  accounting,  in which the  Partnership's  investment  in the  leased
property is reported as a  receivable  from the lessee to be  recovered  through
future rentals. The income portion of each rental payment is calculated so as to
generate a constant rate of return on the net receivable outstanding.

Investment in leveraged leases:

Leases which are financed  principally with non-recourse debt at lease inception
and which meet certain other  criteria are  accounted  for as leveraged  leases.
Leveraged lease contracts  receivable are stated net of the related non-recourse
debt service (which  includes  unpaid  principal and aggregate  interest on such
debt) plus estimated  residual values.  Unearned income represents the excess of
anticipated  cash flows (after  taking into account the related debt service and
residual  values)  over the  investment  in the lease and is  amortized  using a
constant rate of return  applied to the net investment  when such  investment is
positive.

                                DECEMBER 31, 1999


2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

Reserve for losses and impairments:

The  Partnership  maintains a reserve on its investments in equipment and leases
for losses and impairments which are inherent in the portfolio as of the balance
sheet date. The General Partner's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is
a judgmental  estimate that is based on a review of individual leases, past loss
experience and other factors.  While the General Partner  believes the allowance
is adequate to cover known losses, it is reasonably  possible that the allowance
may change in the near term.  However,  such  change is not  expected  to have a
material  effect on the financial  position or future  operating  results of the
Partnership.  It is the Partnership's policy to charge off amounts which, in the
opinion  of the  General  Partner,  are  not  recoverable  from  lessees  or the
disposition of the collateral.

Statements of cash flows:

For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes
cash in banks and cash equivalent investments with original maturities of ninety
days or less.

Income taxes:

The  Partnership  does not provide for income  taxes since all income and losses
are the liability of the  individual  partners and are allocated to the partners
for inclusion in their individual tax returns.

The tax basis of the  Partnership's  net assets and liabilities  varies from the
amounts presented in these financial statements (unaudited):

                                                   1999             1998

                                              ================ ================

The  primary  differences  between  the tax basis of net assets and the  amounts
recorded in the financial statements are the result of differences in accounting
for syndication costs and differences  between the depreciation  methods used in
the financial statements and the Partnership's tax returns.

The following  reconciles the net income reported in these financial  statements
to the loss reported on the Partnership's federal tax return (unaudited):

2.  Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):

Credit Risk:

Financial   instruments   which   potentially   subject   the   Partnership   to
concentrations  of  credit  risk  include  cash and cash  equivalents,  accounts
receivable and other  receivables.  The Partnership places its cash deposits and
temporary  cash   investments   with   creditworthy,   high  quality   financial
institutions.  The concentration of such deposits and temporary cash investments
is not  deemed  to  create  a  significant  risk  to the  Partnership.  Accounts
receivable represent amounts due from lessees in various industries,  related to
equipment on operating and direct financing leases. See Note 7 for a description
of lessees by industry as of December 31, 1999. See Note 10 for a description of
the Partnership's other receivables as of December 31, 1999.

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  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent  assets and  liabilities at the date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual  results  could differ from those  estimates.  Such  estimates  primarily
relate to the determination of residual values at the end of the lease term.

Per unit data:

Net income and distributions per unit are based upon the weighted average number
of units outstanding during the period.

Reclassifications:

Certain  1998   balances  have  been   reclassified   to  conform  to  the  1999
presentation.


3.  Investments in equipment and leases:

As of December 31, 1999, the  Partnership's  investments in equipment and leases

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
disposition 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.

                                        1999            1998             1997
                                        ----            ----             ----

    Mining                               13%             14%              15%

14% of the Partnership's revenues from leases.


8.  Line of credit:

The  Partnership  participates  with the  General  Partner  and  certain  of its
Affiliates in a $95,000,000 revolving credit agreement with a group of financial
institutions  which  expires  on April  30,  2000.  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.

During 1998, the Partnership borrowed $1,000,000 under the line of credit. There
were no repayments on the line of credit during 1998.  The balance was repaid in
January  1999.  Interest on the line of credit is based on either the thirty day
LIBOR rate or the bank's prime rate.

The credit agreement  includes certain  financial  covenants  applicable to each
borrower.  The  Partnership  was in compliance with its covenants as of December
31, 1999. At December 31, 1999, $21,857,103 was available under this agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1999


9.  Fair value of financial instruments:

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial  instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that
value.

Cash and cash equivalents:

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because
of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Non-recourse debt:

The  fair  value  of the  Partnership's  non-recourse  debt is  estimated  using
discounted cash flow analyses,  based on the Partnership's  current  incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.  The estimated fair
value  of  the   Partnership's   non-recourse  debt  at  December  31,  1999  is
$20,711,452.

Line of credit:

The  carrying  amount  of  the  Partnership's   variable  rate  line  of  credit
approximates fair value.


10.  Provision for losses and impairments:

In January  1998,  Pegasus Gold,  one of the  Partnership's  lessees,  filed for
reorganization  under  Chapter  11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code.  The
Partnership  determined  that certain of the assets under this direct  financing
lease  (with a total net book value of  $5,826,418)  were  impaired  at December
31,1997.  The  Partnership's  provision  for  losses  and  impairments  for 1997
includes a reserve for the estimated  credit  exposure  related to the remaining
lease assets.

In  October  1997  and  1999,  Schwegmann's  Giant  Supermarkets,   one  of  the
Partnership's lessees,  defaulted on its lease obligations.  The Partnership has
sold the assets  relating to the defaulted lease  obligation.  Subsequent to the
sales  of  the  assets,   the  Partnership   reclassified  the  remaining  lease
investments to other  receivables.  The book value of the other  receivables was
$1,410,388 at December 31, 1999  ($1,095,780 at December 31, 1998).  The General
Partner  has  provided  for a reserve of $100,605  on the other  receivables  at
December 31, 1999 and 1998.

The net book value of the  Partnership's  defaulted lease obligation  related to
Schwegmann's  Giant  Supermarkets which is classified as an investment in direct
finance lease was $603,976 at December 31, 1998 (none at December 31, 1999). The
Partnership's  provision for losses and  impairments for 1997 includes a reserve
for the estimated credit exposure related to the remaining lease assets.

Uncertainties  surrounding the lessees'  workout  proceedings,  their credit and
collateral and the related bankruptcy court adjudications,  among other factors,
all affect the  Partnership's  ability to  estimate  its future  cash flows from
lease  payments and equipment  residual  values.  As a result,  it is reasonably
possible  that a change in estimate will occur in the near term.  However,  such
change is not expected to have a material  effect on the  financial  position or
future operating results of the Partnership.
