                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 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.

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  were  issued  and
outstanding as of June 30, 1998.

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.

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 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 June 30, 1998, the Partnership  had $500,000 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 June 30,
1998.











<PAGE>

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

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Funds which have been  received,  but which have not yet been invested in leased
equipment, are invested in interest-bearing accounts or  high-quality/short-term
commercial paper.

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 June 30, 1998, the  Partnership  had borrowed  $58,317,911.  The remaining
unpaid balance at that date was  $35,259,618.  Borrowings are to be non-recourse
to the Partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender is 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.

No  commitments  of capital  have been or are expected to be made other than for
the acquisition of additional equipment. As of June 30, 1998, 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.


Cash flows

For both the three and six month  periods  in 1998 and 1997,  the  Partnership's
primary source of cash flows from operations was rents from operating leases.

In 1998,  the most  significant  source of cash from  investing  activities  was
proceeds  from sales of lease  assets  ($1,929,976  for the six month period and
$1,385,616 for the three month period).  Rents from direct financing leases were
also significant in both the three and six month periods.

In 1998, the only source of cash from financing activities was $500,000 borrowed
on the line of credit in the second  quarter.  In 1997, the  Partnership's  only
source of cash from financing  activities was proceeds from  non-recourse  debt.
The debt proceeds were used to pay down the line of credit.



<PAGE>

Results of operations

The primary source of revenues is operating  leases and is expected to remain so
in future periods. As leases reach their scheduled terminations, the Partnership
expects to either sell the assets or to re-lease them.  Revenues from succeeding
leases are usually  lower than the  amounts  received  on earlier  leases.  As a
result,  lease rents are expected to decline in future  periods until all of the
assets are sold. Operating lease revenues declined by $667,601 (from $10,117,592
in 1997 to  $9,449,991  in 1998) for the six month  periods and  $344,392  (from
$5,018,125 in 1997 to $4,673,753 in 1998) for the three month periods.

Depreciation is the  Partnership's  largest  expense and is related  directly to
operating  lease assets and revenues.  Depreciation  also decreased for both the
three and six month periods as a result of these lease terminations.

In 1998,  sales of assets resulted in losses  ($546,070 for the six month period
and $623,159 for the three month  period)  compared to gains in 1997 of $187,102
(six months) and $113,685 (three months).

Interest  expense has  declined  for both the six and three  month  periods as a
result of decreased total debt balances compared to 1997.

Management fees are related to lease revenues  (equipment  management  fees) and
the  amounts of cash  generated  from  operations  which is  distributed  to the
limited partners  (incentive  management fees). Lease revenues declined compared
to 1997 as noted above.  More of the  distributions to the limited partners came
from the  proceeds of asset sales (on which no  management  fees are being paid)
rather  than  from  cash  generated  from  operations.  These  gave  rise to the
decreases in management fees compared to 1997.


OTHER

Year 2000 Issues

The year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits rather than four to define the  applicable  year.  Any computer  programs
that have time  sensitive  software may  recognize a date using "00" as the year
1900  rather  than the year  2000.  This  could  result in a system  failure  or
miscalculation causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things,
a  temporary  inability  to process  transactions  or engage in  similar  normal
business activities.

The Partnership  uses primarily third party software and is  communicating  with
key vendors to ensure that the  Partnership's  systems are year 2000  compliant.
Based on these  discussions,  the  Partnership  does not  expect  that the costs
related to the year 2000 issue will be  significant.  Ultimately,  the potential
impact  of the year  2000  issue  will  depend on the way in which the year 2000
issue is addressed by businesses and other entities whose financial condition or
operational capability is important to the Partnership.
