Exhibit 21


                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of
Phoenix Leasing Associates II, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Phoenix
Leasing  Associates  II,  Inc.  (a  Nevada  corporation)  and  subsidiary  as of
September 30, 2000 and 1999. These financial  statements are the  responsibility
of the  Company'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 balance sheets referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Phoenix Leasing Associates II,
Inc.  and  subsidiary  as of September  30, 2000 and 1999,  in  conformity  with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.



                                                                 ARTHUR ANDERSEN

               PHOENIX LEASING ASSOCIATES II, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

                    NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS

                               September 30, 2000



Note 1.  Organization:

         Phoenix Leasing  Associates II, Inc.,  (the Company),  was formed under
the laws of Nevada on June 14, 1990. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Phoenix Leasing Incorporated (PLI), a California corporation, and was originally
formed to serve as the general partner of Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund
V, L.P. (CDF V), a California limited partnership.

         On August 17, 1990, the Company organized Phoenix Leasing Associates II
L.P., a California limited partnership (PLAIILP),  to replace the Company as the
general  partner in CDF V. The  limited  partner of PLAIILP is Lease  Management
Associates,  Inc., a Nevada corporation controlled by an officer of the Company,
who also owns the  parent  company  of PLI.  As the  general  partner  of CDF V,
PLAIILP earns  acquisition and management fees and receives the profits,  losses
and distributions which are to be allocated to the Company (Note 6). The Company
is the general  partner of PLAIILP and, as of September  30, 2000 and 1999 has a
50%  ownership  interest.  This  ownership  interest  is  subject  to  change in
accordance  with  the  PLAIILP  Partnership  Agreement.   Profits,   losses  and
distributions  attributable  to  acquisition  fees paid to  PLAIILP by CDF V are
allocated in proportion to the partners' ownership interests. All other profits,
losses and distributions are allocated to the Company.

Note 2.  Principles of Consolidation:

         The  consolidated  balance  sheets as of  September  30, 2000 and 1999,
include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary,  PLAIILP, over which the
Company exerts significant control and influence.  All significant  intercompany
accounts and transactions  have been eliminated in  consolidation.  The minority
interest represents the limited partner's interest in PLAIILP.

         The Company  records its investment in CDF V under the equity method of
accounting.  As general  partner,  the Company has  complete  authority  in, and
responsibility   for,  the  overall   management   of  CDF  V,  which   includes
responsibility  for  supervising  CDF  V's  acquisition,   leasing,  remarketing
activities and its sale of equipment.

Note 3.  Use of Estimates:

         The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated
financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 4.  Notes Receivable from Affiliate:

         PLI, the sole shareholder of the Company,  as of September 30, 2000 and
1999, has issued demand  promissory  notes to the Company  totaling  $4,000,000.
There are no  restrictions  or covenants  associated  with this note which would
preclude the Company from receiving the principal or interest  amounts under the
terms of the notes. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 10%
or prime rate plus 1%, as  determined  by Citibank,  N.A.,  New York,  New York.
Interest is payable by PLI on the first  business day of each calendar  quarter.
The principal amount is due and payable upon demand by the Company.

                               September 30, 2000


Note 5.  Income Taxes:

         Effective  July 1, 1998, the Company and all its  subsidiaries  adopted
treatment as an "S"  Corporation  pursuant to the Federal Income Tax Regulations
for tax reporting  purposes.  Federal and state income tax  regulations  provide
that  taxes  on  the  income  or  loss  of the  Company  are  reportable  on the
shareholder's individual return.

Note 6.  Compensation and Fees:

         PLAIILP  receives  acquisition  fees  equal  to  three  percent  of the
purchase  price of assets  acquired or financed by CDF V in connection  with the
analysis,  selection and acquisition or financing of assets,  and the continuing
analysis of the overall  portfolio of the CDF V's assets,  and  management  fees
equal to three percent of CDF V's gross revenues in connection with managing the
operations  of CDF V. In  addition,  PLAIILP  receives  an  interest  in CDF V's
profits,  losses and  distributions.  Management fees of $24,330 and $55,771 and
acquisition  fees of $160,256  and $90,397,  as of September  30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, are included in Due from Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund V,
L.P. on the consolidated balance sheets.

Note 7.  Related Parties:

         The Company has entered  into an agreement  with PLI,  whereby PLI will
provide  management  services to PLAIILP in connection  with the  operations and
administration  of CDF V. In consideration for the services and activities to be
performed  by PLI  pursuant to this  agreement,  the Company pays PLI fees in an
amount equal to: three  percent of CDF V's  cumulative  gross  revenues plus the
lesser of three  percent of the  purchase  price of  equipment  acquired  by and
financing  provided to businesses by CDF V or 100% of the net cash  attributable
to the  acquisition  fee which has been  distributed to the Company plus 100% of
all other net cash from operations of PLAIILP. Management fees paid to PLI equal
$606,730 and $606,367 for the twelve  months ended  September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

Note 8.  Commitments and Contingencies:

         On October 28, 1997, a Class Action Complaint was filed against Phoenix
Leasing  Incorporated,  Phoenix  Leasing  Associates,  II and III  LP.,  Phoenix
Securities  Inc.  and  Phoenix  American   Incorporated   (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 a 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").

analysis,  selection and acquisition or financing of assets,  and the continuing
analysis of the overall  portfolio of CDF V's assets,  and management fees equal
to three  percent of CDF V's gross  revenues in  connection  with  managing  the
operations of CDF V. In addition,  the  Partnership  receives an interest in CDF
V's profits,  losses and  distributions.  Management fees of $24,330 and $55,771
and acquisition  fees of $160,256 and $90,397 as of September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, are included in Due from Phoenix Leasing Cash Distribution Fund V,
L.P. on the balance sheets.
