(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2012

1. Organization and Nature of Operations

Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V, LP (the “Partnership”), a Delaware Limited Partnership, is registered as a nondiversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The Partnership has elected to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on September 29, 2006, and the Partnership commenced operations on December 15, 2006. The Partnership was formed to acquire a portfolio of investments consisting primarily of bank loans, distressed debt, stressed high yield debt, mezzanine investments and public equities. The stated objective of the Partnership is to achieve high total returns while minimizing losses. Tennenbaum Opportunities Fund V, LLC (“TOF V” or the “Common Limited Partner”) owns the entire common limited partnership interest in the Partnership.

The General Partner of the Partnership is SVOF/MM, LLC (“SVOF/MM”). The managing member of SVOF/MM is Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”), which serves as the Investment Manager of the Partnership. Babson Capital Management LLC serves as Co-Manager. Substantially all of the equity interests in the General Partner are owned directly or indirectly by TCP, Babson Capital Management LLC and employees of TCP.

Partnership management consists of the General Partner and the Board of Directors. The General Partner directs and executes the day-to-day operations of the Partnership, subject to oversight from the Board of Directors, which performs certain functions required by the 1940 Act. The Board of Directors has delegated investment management of the Partnership’s assets to the Investment Manager and the Co-Manager. The Board of Directors consists of four persons, three of whom are independent. If the Partnership has preferred limited partner interests outstanding, as it currently does, the holders of the preferred limited partner interests voting separately as a class will be entitled to elect two of the Partnership’s Directors. The remaining directors of the Partnership will be subject to election by holders of the common limited partner interests and preferred limited partner interests voting together as a single class.

Partnership Structure

Total maximum capitalization of the Partnership is approximately $1.91 billion, consisting of $1.105 billion of common limited partner interests (the “Common Limited Interests”) from the Common Limited Partner, $369 million of preferred limited partner interests (the “Preferred Limited Interests”) and $436 million under a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Facility”). The Common Limited Interests, Preferred Limited Interests and the amount drawn under the Senior Facility are used to purchase Partnership investments and to pay certain fees and expenses of the Partnership. Most of the cash and investments of the Partnership are included in the collateral for the Senior Facility.

1. Organization and Nature of Operations (continued)

The Partnership will liquidate and distribute its assets and will be dissolved on October 10, 2016, subject to up to two one-year extensions if requested by the General Partner and approved by TOF V as the holder of the Common Limited Interests. However, the Partnership Agreement will prohibit liquidation of the Partnership prior to October 10, 2016 if the Preferred Limited Interests are not redeemed in full prior to such liquidation.

Preferred Equity Facility

At June 30, 2012, the Partnership had 18,450 Preferred Limited Interests issued and outstanding with a liquidation preference of $20,000 per interest. The Preferred Limited Interests are redeemable at the option of the Partnership, subject to certain conditions. Additionally, under certain conditions, the Partnership may be required to either redeem certain of the Preferred Limited Interests or repay indebtedness, at the Partnership’s option. Such conditions would include a failure by the Partnership to maintain adequate collateral as required by its credit facility agreement or by the Statement of Preferences of the Preferred Limited Interests, or a failure by the Partnership to maintain sufficient asset coverage as required by the 1940 Act. At June 30, 2012, the Partnership was in full compliance with such requirements.

The Preferred Limited Interests accrue dividends at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.65%, or in the case of any holders of Preferred Limited Interests that are CP Conduits (as defined in the leveraging documents), the higher of LIBOR plus 0.65% or the CP Conduit’s cost of funds rate plus 0.65%, subject to certain limitations and adjustments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Partnership.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Although management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment Valuation

Management values investments held by the Partnership at fair value based upon the principles and methods of valuation set forth in policies adopted by the Partnership’s Board of Directors and in conformity with procedures set forth in the Senior Facility and Statement of Preferences for the Preferred Limited Interests. Fair value is generally defined as the amount for which an investment would be sold in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Investments listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system, whether U.S. or foreign, are valued for financial reporting purposes as of the last business day of the reporting period using the closing price on the date of valuation. Liquid investments not listed on a recognized exchange or market quotation system are priced by a nationally recognized pricing service or by using quotations from broker-dealers. Investments not priced by a pricing service or for which market quotations are either not readily available or are determined to be unreliable are valued by independent valuation services or, for investments aggregating less than 5% of the total capitalization of the Partnership, by the Investment Manager.

Fair valuations of investments are determined under guidelines adopted by the Partnership’s Board of Directors, and are subject to their approval. Generally, to increase objectivity in valuing the Partnership’s investments, the Investment Manager will utilize external measures of value, such as public markets or third-party transactions, whenever possible. The Investment Manager’s valuation is not based on long-term work-out value, immediate liquidation value, nor incremental value for potential changes that may take place in the future. The values assigned to investments that are valued by the Investment Manager are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, as these amounts depend on future circumstances and cannot reasonably be determined until the individual investments are actually liquidated. The foregoing policies apply to all investments, including those in companies and groups of affiliated companies aggregating more than 5% of the Partnership’s assets.

Fair valuations of investments in each asset class are determined using one or more methodologies including the market approach, income approach, or, in the case of recent investments, the cost approach, as appropriate. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. In following these approaches, the types of factors that may be taken into account include, as relevant: available

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

current market data, including relevant and applicable market trading and transaction comparables, applicable market yields and multiples, security covenants, call protection provisions, information rights, the nature and realizable value of any collateral, the portfolio company’s ability to make payments, its earnings and discounted cash flows, the markets in which the portfolio company does business, comparisons of financial ratios of peer companies that are public, M&A comparables, our principal market and enterprise values, among other factors.

The ranges of unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s Level 3 investments as of June 30, 2012 were as follows:

EBITDA Multiples			3.5x to 9.5x
Market Yields			5.2% to 18.8%

Significant increases or decreases in any of the above inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

Investments of the Partnership may be categorized based on the types of inputs used in valuing such investments. The level in the GAAP valuation hierarchy in which an investment falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation of the investment in its entirety. Transfers between levels are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

At June 30, 2012, the investments of the Partnership were categorized as follows:

Level	Basis for Determining Fair Value	Bank Debt		Other Corporate Debt		Equity Securities
1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets	$	-	$	44,071,530	$	17,404,345

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment Transactions

The Partnership records investment transactions on the trade date, except for private transactions that have conditions to closing, which are recorded on the closing date. The cost of investments purchased is based upon the purchase price plus those professional fees which are specifically identifiable to the investment transaction. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded based on the specific identification method, which typically allocates the highest cost inventory to the basis of investments sold.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Partnership and other holders of Real Mex Restaurants, Inc. (“Real Mex”) notes were approved as the winning bidders for Real Mex’s assets pursuant to a sale under Chapter 11, which included the Partnership’s funding of approximately $26.0 million of newly issued senior secured loans. Due to expenses and significant working capital requirements that occurred during bankruptcy, the amount of Real Mex’s debt at exit increased, resulting in a decline in the value of the Partnership’s holdings of approximately $14.6 million as our existing notes were converted into new notes and equity. This exchange was treated as a taxable event and the associated charge is included in net realized gain in the Statement of Operations. Excluding this charge, net realized gains were approximately $18.5 million.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of amounts held in accounts with brokerage firms and the custodian bank. Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

Repurchase Agreements

In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Partnership’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral, the fair value of which is required to exceed the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Partnership may be delayed or limited.

Restricted Investments

The Partnership may invest without limitation in instruments that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These instruments generally may be resold to institutional investors in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these investments may involve time-consuming negotiations and additional expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted investments is included at the end of the Statement of Investments. Restricted investments, including any restricted investments in affiliates, are valued in accordance with the investment valuation policies discussed above.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Foreign Investments

The Partnership may invest in instruments traded in foreign countries and denominated in foreign currencies. At June 30, 2012, the Partnership held foreign currency denominated investments comprising approximately 7.58% of the Partnership’s total investments by fair value. Such positions were converted at the closing rate in effect at June 30, 2012, and reported in U.S dollars. Purchases and sales of investments and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, when they occur, are translated into U.S dollars on the respective dates of such transactions. The Partnership reports that portion of the results of operations resulting from foreign exchange rates on investments separately from the gains or losses arising from changes in market prices of investments held.

Investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include, among other things, revaluation of currencies, less reliable information about issuers, different transactions clearance and settlement practices, and potential future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, investments in foreign companies and securities of foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Derivatives

In order to mitigate certain currency exchange risks associated with foreign currency denominated investments, the Partnership has entered into certain forward exchange transactions. The Partnership recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The transactions entered into are accounted for using the mark-to-market method with the resulting change in fair value recognized in earnings for the current period. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Gains and losses from derivative transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were included in net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations as follows:

Instrument		Realized				Unrealized

Valuations of foreign currency forward exchange contracts at June 30, 2012 were determined as follows:

Level				Basis for Determining Fair Value		Aggregate Value
	1			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets		$	(14,520	)

Debt Issuance Costs

Costs of approximately $8.5 million were incurred in connection with placing the Partnership’s Senior Facility. These costs were deferred and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years, the estimated life of the Senior Facility. The impact of utilizing the straight-line amortization method versus the effective-interest method is not material to the Partnership’s operations.

Purchase Discounts

The majority of the Partnership’s high yield and distressed debt investments are purchased at a considerable discount to par as a result of the underlying credit risks and financial results of the issuer, as well as general market factors that influence the financial markets as a whole. GAAP generally requires that discounts on the acquisition of corporate (investment grade) bonds, municipal bonds and treasury bonds be amortized using the effective-interest or constant-yield method. However, GAAP also requires the Partnership to consider the collectability of interest when making accruals. Accordingly, when accounting for purchase discounts, the Partnership recognizes discount accretion income when it is probable that such amounts will be collected and when such amounts can be estimated.

Income Taxes

The Partnership’s income or loss is reported in the partners’ income tax returns. Consequently, no income taxes are paid at the Partnership level or reflected in the Partnership’s financial statements. As of June 30, 2012, the tax returns, the qualification of the Partnership, and the amount of allocable Partnership income or loss for all tax years since January 1, 2008 are subject to examination by federal taxing authorities. No such examinations are currently pending.

New Accounting Guidance

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 was issued to converge guidance from the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board on measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The changes include a consistent definition of the term “fair value” and enhanced disclosure requirements for investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, such as additional quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in the unobservable inputs. The provisions of ASU 2011-04 were effective for the Partnership on January 1, 2012. The Partnership’s adoption of ASU 2011-04 resulted in increased disclosures around fair value but did not impact the measurement of fair value of the Partnership’s investments.

3. Allocations and Distributions

Net income and gains of the Partnership are distributed first to the Common Limited Partner until it has received an 8% annual weighted-average return on its undistributed contributed equity, and then to the General Partner until it has received 20% of all cumulative income and gain distributions. 80% of all remaining net income and gain distributions are allocated to the Common Limited Partner, with the remaining 20% allocated to the General Partner. For purposes of determining whether the 8% return to the Common Limited Partner has been exceeded and whether the General Partner has received the catch-up amount, the performance of the Partnership includes the performance of the Common Limited Partner for periods prior to the inception of the Partnership. Net investment income or loss, realized gain or loss on investments, and appreciation or depreciation on investments for the period are allocated to the Common Limited Partner and the General Partner in a manner consistent with that used to determine distributions.

Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V, LP

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2012

3. Allocations and Distributions (continued)

Distributions to the Common Limited Partner are generally based on the Common Limited Partner’s estimated taxable earnings from its interest in the Partnership, and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The timing of distributions is determined by the General Partner, which has provided the Investment Manager with certain criteria for such distributions. Any net long-term capital gains are distributed at least annually. As of June 30, 2012, the Partnership had distributed $435,264,799 to the Common Limited Partner since inception.

4. Management and Advisory Fees and Other Expenses

The Partnership incurs an annual management and advisory fee, payable to the Investment Manager monthly in arrears, equal to 1.5% of the sum of the Common Limited Interest commitments (reduced after the ramp-up period by returns of contributed capital) and the Preferred Limited Interests and debt potentially issuable in respect of such Common Limited Interest commitments, subject to reduction by the amount of the Senior Facility commitment when the Senior Facility is no longer outstanding and the amount of the Preferred Limited Interests when less than $1 million in liquidation preference of Preferred Limited Interests remains outstanding. In addition to the management fee, the General Partner is entitled to a performance allocation as discussed in Note 3, above. As compensation for its services, the Co-Manager receives a portion of the management fees paid to the Investment Manager. The Co-Manager also receives a portion of any performance allocation paid to the General Partner.

The Partnership pays all expenses incurred in connection with the business of the Partnership, including fees and expenses of outside contracted services, such as custodian, administrative, legal, audit and tax preparation fees, costs of valuing investments, insurance costs, brokers’ and finders’ fees relating to investments, and any other transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of investments of the Partnership.

5. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

The Partnership has entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders, which provides for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Senior Facility”) pursuant to which amounts may be drawn up to $436 million. The Senior Facility matures December 15, 2014, subject to extension by the lenders at the request of the Partnership for one 364-day period.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

June 30, 2012

5. Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (continued)

Advances under the Senior Facility bear interest at LIBOR or EURIBOR plus 0.35% per annum, except in the case of loans from CP Conduits, which bear interest at the higher of (i) LIBOR or EURIBOR (as applicable) plus 0.35% or (ii) the CP Conduit’s cost of funds plus 0.35%, subject to certain limitations. Short-term advances under the swingline facility bear interest at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 0.35% per annum or the main refinancing rate as set by the European Central Bank for such period, plus 0.85% per annum. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2012 was 0.73%. In addition to amounts due on outstanding debt, the Senior Facility accrues commitment fees of 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the Senior Facility, or 0.20% per annum when less than $87,200,000 in borrowings are outstanding. The Senior Facility may be terminated, and any outstanding amounts thereunder may become due and payable, should the Partnership fail to satisfy certain financial or other covenants. As of June 30, 2012, the Partnership was in full compliance with such covenants.

Foreign currency advances are reported in US dollars using the closing rate in effect on the date of valuation. At June 30, 2012, outstanding borrowings included €70,000,000 (US $88,673,400), and interest payable included €2,823 (US $3,576).

6. Commitments, Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Partnership conducts business with brokers and dealers that are primarily headquartered in New York and Los Angeles and are members of the major securities exchanges. Banking activities are conducted with a firm headquartered in the New York area.

In the normal course of business, the Partnership’s investment activities involve executions, settlement and financing of various investment transactions resulting in receivables from, and payables to, brokers, dealers and the Partnership’s custodian. These activities may expose the Partnership to risk in the event such parties are unable to fulfill contractual obligations. Management does not anticipate any material losses from counterparties with whom it conducts business.

The Statement of Investments includes certain revolving loan facilities held by the Partnership with aggregate unfunded balances of approximately $29.5 million.

Consistent with standard business practice, the Partnership enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications, and is engaged from time to time in various legal actions. The Partnership’s maximum exposure under these arrangements and activities is unknown. However, the Partnership expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

7. Related Parties

The Partnership, the Common Limited Partner, the Investment Manager, the General Partner and their members and affiliates may be considered related parties. From time to time, the Partnership makes payments to third parties on behalf of the Common Limited Partner which are funded by or reimbursable through contributions from or deductions from distributions to the Common Limited Partner. At June 30, 2012, the Partnership had a liability to the Common Limited Partner in the amount of $603,086, as reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. From time to time, the Investment Manager advances payments to third parties on behalf of the Partnership and receives reimbursement from the Partnership. At June 30, 2012, such reimbursable amounts totaled $366,537, as reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Return on invested assets ⁽¹⁾		4.9	%
Internal rate of return ⁽⁴⁾		3.5	%

⁽¹⁾

Not annualized for periods of less than one year.

⁽²⁾

Return on invested assets is a time-weighted, geometrically linked rate of return and excludes cash and cash equivalents.

⁽³⁾

Returns (net of dividends on the preferred equity facility, allocations to the General Partner, and partnership expenses, including financing costs and management fees) are calculated on a monthly geometrically linked, time-weighted basis.

⁽⁴⁾

Annualized for periods of less than one year, except for allocations to the General Partner.

⁽⁵⁾

These ratios include interest expense but do not reflect the effect of dividends on the preferred equity facility. The ratio of expenses to average common limited equity is higher in earlier periods, and net investment income to common limited equity assets is reduced, due to the Partnership’s relatively smaller capital base while the Partnership was ramping up.

⁽⁶⁾

Net of dividends on the preferred equity facility, allocations to the General Partner, and partnership expenses, including financing costs and management fees.Internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the imputed annual return over an investment period and, mathematically, is the rate of return at which the discounted cash flows equal the initial cash outlays. The IRR presented assumes liquidation of the Partnership at net asset value as of the balance sheet date.

Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V, LP

(A Delaware Limited Partnership)

Approval of Investment Management Agreements

(Unaudited)

On April 27, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Partnership, including the “non-interested” Directors (the “Independent Directors”), voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and Co-Management Agreement (each a “Management Agreement” and collectively, the “Management Agreements”) for an additional one-year term.

In considering whether to recommend re-approval of the Management Agreements, the Independent Directors reviewed materials provided by the Investment Manager, the Co-Manager, fund counsel and independent counsel. The Directors also met with senior personnel of the Investment Manager and discussed a number of topics affecting their determination, including the following.

(i) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Manager and Co-Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the services that the Investment Manager and Co-Manager provide to the Partnership. The Independent Directors noted the comprehensive range of such services and that the Investment Manager had developed reporting, valuation and other procedures that were customized to the specialized nature of the Partnership, and that the Investment Manager had expertise in administering such procedures. In addition, the Independent Directors considered the size, education, background and experience of the Investment Manager’s and Co-Manager’s staff. They also took into consideration the Investment Manager’s and Co-Manager’s quality of service and noted their longevity in the industry. Lastly, the Independent Directors reviewed the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain quality and experienced personnel. The Independent Directors concluded that the scope of services expected to be provided by the Investment Manager and Co-Manager to the Partnership and the experience and expertise of the personnel performing such services was consistent with the nature, extent and quality expected of an Investment Manager of an investment vehicle such as the Partnership.

(ii) Investment performance of the Partnership and the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors reviewed the past investment performance of the Partnership and other funds for which the Investment Manager provides investment advisory services, both on an absolute basis and as compared to other funds that had invested in similar investments, as well as general market indices, and the Independent Directors noted that the Partnership had performed satisfactorily.

(iii) Cost of the services provided and profits realized by the Investment Manager from the relationship with the Partnership. The Independent Directors considered the cost of the services provided by the Investment Manager. As part of their analysis, the Independent Directors gave substantial consideration to the compensation payable to the Investment Manager, the terms of which are summarized in the footnotes to the financial statements included in this report. The Independent Directors also noted the types of expenses for which the Partnership or the Investment Manager and Co-Manager are responsible. In reviewing the management compensation, the Independent Directors considered the management fees and operating expense ratios of other registered and non-registered funds managed by the Investment Manager and by other managers that had somewhat comparable investment programs. The Independent Directors also noted that the compensation provisions had been subject to extensive discussion with several of the large institutional investors in the Partnership.

The Independent Directors also reviewed information regarding the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Partnership and information on the financial condition of the Investment Manager. The Independent Directors noted that the Investment Manager and Co-Manager and their affiliates did not receive revenues from any other source, such as brokerage commissions or origination fees, in relation to the Partnership. The Independent Directors found that the profits realized by the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Partnership were reasonable and consistent with the Investment Manager’s fiduciary duties. The Independent Directors noted that the Co-Manager was unable to provide the Directors with the information requested on the profitability to the Co-Manager of its relationship with the Partnership. The Independent Directors also found that the Investment Manager and Co-Manager each had the financial resources necessary to continue to carry out their respective functions.

The Independent Directors concluded that the management and performance fees for the Investment Manager and Co-Manager were reasonable.

(iv) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Partnership grows and whether fee levels would reflect such economies of scale. In light of the Partnership’s predetermined size and policy of distributing all realized income, the Independent Directors determined that the possibility of economies of scale was not relevant with respect to the current structure of the Partnership and accordingly did not consider whether fee levels would reflect any economies of scale.

In considering the Partnership’s Management Agreements, no single factor was determinative to the decision of the Directors. Rather, after weighing all of the reasons discussed above, the Independent Directors unanimously recommended re-approval of each of the Management Agreements.
