2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     The  interim financial information as of March 31, 2001, and  for  the
     three  months ended March 31, 2001, is unaudited.  Certain information
     and  footnote  disclosures normally included in  financial  statements
     prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
     have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules

     in  the  opinion  of  management, these interim  financial  statements
     include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of
     the interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
     nature.  The interim consolidated financial statements should be  read
     in  conjunction  with the audited financial statements  for  the  year
     ended December 31, 2000.



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

General

Southwest  Royalties,  Inc.  Income Fund V was  organized  as  a  Tennessee
limited  partnership  on  May  1, 1986, after  receipt  from  investors  of
$1,000,000  in  limited  partner capital contributions.   The  offering  of
limited  partnership interests began on January 22, 1986 and  concluded  on
July 22, 1986, with total limited partner contributions of $7,500,000.

The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits interests  in
producing  oil  and  gas properties, to produce and market  crude  oil  and
natural  gas  produced  from  such properties and  to  distribute  the  net
proceeds from operations to the limited and general partners.  Net revenues
from  producing oil and gas properties are not reinvested in other  revenue
producing assets except to the extent that production facilities and  wells
are improved or reworked or where methods are employed to improve or enable
more efficient recovery of oil and gas reserves.

Increases   or   decreases   in  Partnership   revenues   and,   therefore,
distributions  to partners will depend primarily on changes in  the  prices
received  for production, changes in volumes of production sold,  increases
and  decreases  in  lease operating expenses, enhanced  recovery  projects,
offset  drilling  activities pursuant to farm-out  arrangements,  sales  of
properties,  and  the depletion of wells.  Since wells deplete  over  time,
production can generally be expected to decline from year to year.

Well  operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with   production   declines;  however,  these  costs  may   not   decrease
proportionately.  Net income available for distribution to the partners  is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

Development drilling and workovers may be performed to increase  production
in the year 2001.  The partnership may have a slight increase in production
volumes  for the year 2001, but thereafter, the partnership could  possibly
experience the historical production decline of 11% per year.

Oil and Gas Properties

Oil  and  gas  properties  are accounted for at cost  under  the  full-cost
method.  Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred
in  connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas  reserves  are capitalized.  Gain or loss on the sale of  oil  and  gas
properties  is not recognized unless significant oil and gas  reserves  are
involved.

The  Partnership's policy for depreciation, depletion and  amortization  of
oil  and  gas  properties is computed under the units  of  revenue  method.
Under the units of revenue method, depreciation, depletion and amortization
is  computed  on  the  basis of current gross revenues from  production  in
relation  to future gross revenues, based on current prices, from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves.

Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of  oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged  to
current  expense.  As of March 31, 2001, the net capitalized costs did  not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.

Revenues

The  Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to  $169,479
from $111,553 for the quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
an  increase of 52%.  The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:

1.  The  average  price  for a barrel of oil received  by  the  Partnership
    decreased  during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared  to  the
    quarter ended March 31, 2000 by 3%, or $.92 per barrel, resulting in  a
    decrease  of approximately $4,000 in income from net profits interests.
    Oil sales represented 42% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
    ended  March 31, 2001 as compared to 62% during the quarter ended March
    31, 2000.

    The  average  price  for  an  mcf of gas received  by  the  Partnership
    increased  during the same period by 119%, or $3.76 per mcf,  resulting
    in  an  increase  of approximately $88,000 in income from  net  profits
    interests.

    The  net total increase in income from net profits interests due to the
    change  in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
    $84,000.   The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile
    over  the  past  decade, and management expects  a  certain  amount  of
    volatility to continue in the foreseeable future.


2.  Oil  production decreased approximately 600 barrels or 12%  during  the
    quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
    2000,  resulting in a decrease of approximately $16,400 in income  from
    net profits interests.

    Gas production decreased approximately 2,800 mcf or 11% during the same
    period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $8,900 in income  from
    net profits interests.

    The  total  decrease in income from net profits interests  due  to  the
    change in production is approximately $25,300.

3.  Lease  operating  costs  and  production  taxes  were  1%  higher,   or
    approximately  $700 more during the quarter ended  March  31,  2001  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses increased to $40,531 from $39,770 for the quarters
ended  March  31,  2001 and 2000, respectively, an  increase  of  2%.   The
increase  is the result of higher depletion, partially offset by a decrease
in general and administrative expense.

1.  General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
    engineering  fees,  computer services, postage,  and  Managing  General
    Partner personnel costs.  General and administrative costs decreased 1%
    or  approximately  $200  during the quarter ended  March  31,  2001  as
    compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

2.  Depletion expense increased to $12,000 for the quarter ended March  31,
    2001  from  $11,000  for the same period in 2000.  This  represents  an
    increase  of  9%.  Depletion is calculated using the units  of  revenue
    method  of  amortization based on a percentage of current period  gross
    revenues  to  total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated  by
    the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income  from
interests in oil and gas properties.  The Partnership knows of no  material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $133,000  in
the  quarter ended March 31, 2001 as compared to approximately  $67,500  in
the  quarter ended March 31, 2000. The primary source of the 2001 cash flow
from operating activities was profitable operations.

Cash flows used by financing activities were approximately $125,200 in  the
quarter  ended  March 31, 2001 as compared to approximately 50,000  in  the
quarter ended March 31, 2000. The only use in financing activities was  the
distributions to partners.

Total  distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2001 were  $125,000
of  which  $112,500 was distributed to the limited partners and $12,500  to
the general partners.  The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the  quarter  ended March 31, 2001 was $15.00.  Total distributions  during
the  quarter  ended  March  31,  2000 were $50,000  of  which  $45,000  was
distributed  to  the limited partners and $5,000 to the  general  partners.
The  per  unit  distribution to limited partners during the  quarter  ended
March 31, 2000 was $6.00.

The  source  for  the  2001  distributions of  $125,000  was  oil  and  gas
operations  of  approximately  $133,000,  resulting  in  excess  cash   for
contingencies  or  subsequent  distributions.   The  source  for  the  2000
distributions  of  $50,000  was  oil and gas  operations  of  approximately
$67,500,   resulting  in  excess  cash  for  contingencies  or   subsequent
distributions.

Since  inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash  distributions
of  $7,763,543  have  been made to the partners.  As  of  March  31,  2001,
$6,970,820 or $929.57 per limited partner unit has been distributed to  the
limited partners, representing an 93% return of the capital contributed.

As of March 31, 2001, the Partnership had approximately $175,200 in working
capital.   The  Managing  General Partner knows of no  unusual  contractual
commitments.
