(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, 2002. Of the proceeds received, $11,875,000 was paid to ATEL Securities Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATEL Financial Services LLC (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. Prior to converting to a limited liability company structure, the General Partner was formerly known as ATEL Financial Corporation. The Partnership's principal objectives are to invest in a diversified portfolio of equipment that 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, which ended 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, whereby "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 purchased equipment for which a lease existed or for which a lease would 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 of December 31, 2002, the Partnership had purchased equipment with a total acquisition price of $186,995,157. The Partnership's objective is to lease a minimum of 75% of the equipment acquired with the net proceeds of the offering to lessees that (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. The General Partner sought 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. As set forth below, during 2002, 2001 and 2000, certain lessees generated significant portions of the Partnership's total lease revenues as follows: Percentage of Total Lease Revenues Lessee Type of Equipment 2002 2001 2000 - ------ ----------------- ---- ---- ---- Burlington Northern Railroad Locomotives 19% 13% 11% Florida Canyon Mining Mining 18% 13% 11% Tarmac America Construction 14% 16% * Union Carbide Corporation Rail tank cars 10% * * * Less than 10% These percentages are not expected to be comparable in future periods. 2 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 that 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 business of the Partnership is not seasonal. The Partnership has no full time employees. Equipment Leasing Activities Through December 31, 2002, the Partnership has disposed of certain leased assets as set forth below: Original Equipment Cost, Excess of Type of Excluding Rents Over Equipment Acquisition Fees Sales Price Expenses * - --------- ---------------- ----------- ---------- Transportation $58,505,231 $32,139,280 $ 44,988,131 Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 22,209,670 8,314,618 18,925,245 Mining equipment 20,108,685 7,735,973 15,842,296 Materials handling 13,108,989 2,570,725 13,977,788 Office automation 4,593,822 970,163 4,813,683 Other 18,022,102 6,773,390 19,430,999 --------------- --------------- --------------- $136,548,499 $58,504,149 $ 117,978,142 =============== =============== =============== * Includes only those expenses directly related to the production of the related rents.

Item 2. PROPERTIES The Partnership does not own or lease any real property, plant or material physical properties other than the equipment held for lease as set forth in Item 1. Item 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The following is a discussion of legal matters involving the Partnership but which do not represent claims against the Partnership or its assets. No other material legal proceedings are currently pending against the Partnership or against any of its assets. Quaker Coal Company: On December 31, 1997, Quaker Coal Company (the Debtor), one of the Partnership's lessees, requested a moratorium on lease payments from January through March 1998. No lease payments were made by the lessee through June 1998, and as a result, the General Partner declared the lease in default. Subsequently, the lessee cured the outstanding payments and eventually satisfied substantially all lease payments due under the lease; however, the General Partner refused to waive the default and insisted on contractual damages. The General Partner filed a suit against the lessee for its contractual damages in the U.S. District Court of Northern California (the "Court"). On June 16, 2000, the lessee filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The amounts of these damages have not been included in the financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report. The Partnership obtained a stipulation for relief from the automatic bankruptcy stay to allow the Court to issue its ruling, and filed a request to participate on the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings. The Partnership succeeded upon securing the return of its equipment, which has been liquidated. The Court issued a ruling on March 4, 2001, denying the Partnership's claim for damages. The Debtor subsequently filed a claim against the Partnership, for reimbursement of its legal expenses. The General Partner believes the Court's decision is erroneous as a matter law, and has filed an appeal of the decision in the U.S. District Court of Appeals. (See discussion below). The Debtor filed a plan of reorganization, which was objected to by several large creditors, including the General Partner. These creditors were also seeking a formal role on the creditors committee or formation of their own committee. Upon the termination of the Debtor's exclusivity period, competing plans were filed by other creditors to the plan, and voting on the competing plans occurred October 8, 2001. The results of the vote were that another of the creditor's, (i.e. American Electric Power's ("AEP"), Plan of Reorganization ("AEP Plan") was successful. Under the AEP Plan, the claim of the Partnership has been assigned to a liquidating trustee for resolution and satisfaction from the Debtor's estate. In January 2002, the Partnership attended an appellate settlement conference seeking to resolve the outstanding disputed claim. A reserve has been set aside by the Debtor's liquidating trustee in the amount of $1.2 million in partial satisfaction of the Partnership's claim, although this claim amount remains in dispute. In January 2003, the Federal Appellate Court in San Francisco heard an appeal of the lower Court's decision. The results of that appellate decision was handed down in March of 2003 and was adverse to the Partnership's position. The Partnership is currently considering requesting a rehearing of that decision. Currently, the likelihood of recovery of amounts above the payment of the lease rent and the liquidation of the equipment already received remains speculative and highly uncertain. Ingersoll International: At December 31, 2002 the Partnership had commenced action against Ingersoll International (the "Lessee") as the Partnership had declared them in default for making an unauthorized assignment of part of the leased equipment. Subsequent to December 31, 2002, the Partnership, the Lessee and the unauthorized party reached an agreement in principal to have the unauthorized party assume a portion of the lease. Documents have been prepared by the Partnership and sent to the other parties for signature and the Partnership expects all documents to be signed and this matter to be resolved by March 31, 2003. Item 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. 4 PART II Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED MATTERS Market Information The Units are transferable subject to restrictions on transfers that 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. As a result, there is no currently ascertainable market value for the Units. Holders As of December 31, 2002, a total of 7,154 investors were record holders of Units in the Partnership. ERISA Valuation In order to permit ERISA fiduciaries who hold Units to satisfy their annual reporting requirements, the General Partner estimated the value per Unit of the Partnership's assets as of September 30, 2002. The General Partner calculated the estimated liquidation proceeds that would be realized by the Partnership, assuming an orderly disposition of all of the Partnership's assets as of January 1, 2003. The estimates were based on the amount of remaining lease payments on existing Partnership leases, and the estimated residual values of the equipment held by the Partnership upon the termination of those leases. This valuation was based solely on the General Partner's perception of market conditions and the types and amounts of the Partnership's assets. No independent valuation was sought. After calculating the aggregate estimated disposition proceeds, the General Partner then calculated the portion of the aggregate estimated value of the Partnership assets that would be distributed to Unit holders on liquidation of the Partnership, and divided the total so distributable by the number of outstanding Units. As of September 30, 2002, the value of the Partnership's assets, calculated on this basis, was approximately $1.71 per Unit. The foregoing valuation was performed solely for the ERISA purposes described above. There is no market for the Units, and, accordingly, this value does not represent an estimate of the amount a Unit holder would receive if he were to seek to sell his Units. Furthermore, there can be no assurance as to the amount the Partnership may actually receive if and when it seeks to liquidate its assets, or the amount of lease payments and equipment disposition proceeds it will actually receive over the remaining term of 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 has 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. A single distribution was paid from 2002 operations. The distribution was paid in January 2003 and the rate was $0.15 per Unit. The rate for monthly distributions from 2001 operations was $0.10 per Unit for distributions paid in February through July 2001 and $0.0667 for distributions paid in August through December 2001 and in January 2002. For quarterly distributions, the rate was $0.30 per Unit for distributions paid in April and July 2001 and $0.20 per Unit for distributions paid in October 2001 and in January 2002. Distributions were from 2001 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 2000 operations was $0.10 per Unit. The distributions were paid in February 2000 through December 2000 and in January 2001. For each quarterly distribution (paid in April, July and October 2000 and in January 2001) the rate was $0.30 per Unit. Distributions were from 2000 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. 5 The following table presents summarized information regarding distributions to Limited Partners: 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Distributions of net income $ 0.09 $ 0.01 $ 0.13 $ 0.41 $ 0.39 Return of investment - 1.03 1.08 0.79 0.80 --------------- ---------------- -------------------------------- ---------------- Distributions per unit 0.09 1.04 1.21 1.20 1.19 Differences due to timing of distributions 0.06 (0.04) (0.01) - 0.01 --------------- ---------------- -------------------------------- ---------------- Nominal distribution rates from above $ 0.15 $ 1.00 $ 1.20 $ 1.20 $ 1.20 =============== ================ ================================ ================ Owners of 1,000 or more units may make the election without charge to receive distributions on a monthly basis. Owners of less than 1,000 units may make the election upon payment of a $20.00 annual fee. Item 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table presents selected financial data of the Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and for the years then ended. This financial data should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included under Part II, Item 8. 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Gross Revenues $ 7,541,282 $ 7,939,473 $11,138,639 $17,064,600 $ 22,011,168 Net income $ 1,455,267 $ 170,758 $ 1,682,730 $ 5,198,570 $ 4,861,233 Weighted average Units 12,478,700 12,497,000 12,497,000 12,497,000 12,497,000 Net income per Unit, based on weighted average Units outstanding $ 0.12 $ 0.01 $ 0.13 $ 0.41 $ 0.39 Distributions per Unit, based on weighted average Units outstanding $ 0.09 $ 1.04 $ 1.21 $ 1.20 $ 1.19 Total Assets $19,875,015 $37,160,843 $50,000,894 $67,961,144 $ 86,671,855 Non-recourse Debt $ 667,460 $11,663,273 $16,389,312 $22,138,639 $ 29,331,123 Total Partners' Capital $18,865,005 $18,546,425 $31,416,576 $44,820,397 $ 54,621,053 Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Statements contained in this Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Investors are cautioned not to attribute undue certainty to these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Form 10-K or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, other than as required by law. 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 distributions are made to the limited partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and proceeds from asset sales. 6 The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its affiliates in a $55,645,837 revolving line of credit (comprised of an acquisition facility and a warehouse facility) with a financial institution that includes certain financial covenants. The line of credit expires on June 28, 2004. As of December 31, 2002, borrowings under the facility were as follows: Amount borrowed by the Partnership under the acquisition facility $ - Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies under the acquisition facility 29,000,000 ---------------- Total borrowings under the acquisition facility 29,000,000 Amounts borrowed by the General Partner and its sister corporation under the warehouse facility - ---------------- Total outstanding balance $ 29,000,000 ================ Total available under the line of credit $ 55,645,837 Total outstanding balance (29,000,000) ---------------- Remaining availability $ 26,645,837 ================ 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 affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies, the Partnership and the General Partner. Through December 31, 2000, the Partnership anticipated reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment would 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. As of December 31, 2002, cash balances consisted of working capital and amounts reserved for distributions in January 2003, generated from operations in 2002. The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate cash requirements and those of the next twelve months, 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. Through the term of the Partnership, the Partnership had borrowed $58,317,911 of non-recourse debt. As of December 31, 2002, the remaining unpaid balance as of that date was $667,460. 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. See Note 4 to the financial statements, Non-recourse debt, as set forth in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information regarding non-recourse debt. The Partnership commenced regular distributions, based on cash flows from operations, beginning with the second quarter of 1993. See Items 5 and 6 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 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. In future periods, cash flows from operating leases are expected to be the Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operations. Cash Flows 2002 vs. 2001: In 2002 and 2001, operating lease rents were the Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from operations decreased from $5,779,190 in 2001 to $5,133,621 in 2002, a decrease of $645,569. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in operating lease revenues from $5,850,367 in 2001 to $4,254,501 in 2002, a decrease of $1,595,866. Sources of cash from investing activities consisted of rents from direct financing leases and proceeds from sales of lease assets. Financing lease rents decreased from $1,625,595 in 2001 to $1,402,177 in 2002, a decrease of $223,418. Proceeds from the sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one period to another as the sales of lease assets is subject to various factors such as the timing of lease terminations, the timing of market demand and the condition and uniqueness of the assets subject to sale. Proceeds from sales of lease assets increased from $3,733,992 in 2001 to $15,519,490 in 2002, an increase of $11,785,498. Approximately $8,300,000 of the sales proceeds was used to repay non-recourse debt associated with assets that were sold in 2002. 7 In 2002 and 2001, the only source of cash flows from financing activities was the amounts borrowed on the line of credit. Repayments of debt increased as a result of additional debt payments noted above. 2001 vs. 2000: In 2001 and 2000, operating lease rents were the Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from operations decreased from $8,302,775 in 2000 to $5,779,190 in 2001, a decrease of $2,523,585. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in operating lease revenues from $9,296,456 in 2000 to $5,850,367 in 2001, a decrease of $3,446,089. Sources of cash from investing activities consisted of rents from direct financing leases and proceeds from sales of lease assets. Financing lease rents decreased from $2,243,051 in 2000 to $1,625,595 in 2001, a decrease of $617,456. Proceeds from the sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one period to another as the sales of lease assets is subject to various factors such as the timing of lease terminations, the timing of market demand and the condition and uniqueness of the assets subject to sale. Proceeds from sales of lease assets decreased from $7,531,930 in 2000 to $3,733,992 in 2001, a decrease of $3,797,938. In 2001 and 2000, the only source of cash flows from financing activities was the amounts borrowed on the line of credit. Repayments of debt decreased as a result of scheduled debt payments. 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, 2002, 2001 and 2000, significant amounts of the Partnership's assets were leased to lessees in certain industries as follows. 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Rail transportation 53% 41% 35% Mining 21% 10% * Manufacturing, other 15% 26% 29% Construction * 13% 11% * Less than 10%. 2002 vs. 2001: Operations in 2002 resulted in net income of $1,455,267 compared to $170,758 in 2001. The increase is primarily due to an increase in other revenues related to the amounts received from the settlement of the bankruptcy of Schwegmann's Giant Supermarkets (a former lessee of the partnership). Such amounts increased from $1,234,542 in 2001 to $1,954,952 in 2002. Operating lease revenues decreased as a result of the maturing of operating leases, the subsequent sales of the related lease assets and lower lease rates realized on lease renewals. This resulted in decreased operating lease rents in 2002 compared to 2001. Such rents decreased from $5,850,367 in 2001 to $4,254,501 in 2002. Assets sales also resulted in decreased depreciation expense in 2002. Depreciation decreased by $1,113,516 compared to 2001. Proceeds from the sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one period to another as the sales of lease assets is subject to various factors such as the timing of lease terminations, the timing of market demand and the condition and uniqueness of the assets subject to sale. As a result, gains and losses recognized on the sales of these lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one year to another, however, such gains increased by $551,961 compared to 2001. This also contributed to the increase in net income. Interest expense has decreased as a result of scheduled debt payments and the early repayments of non-recourse debt noted above and the related 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. Management periodically reviews the carrying values of its assets on leases and assets held for lease or sale. As a result of that review, management determined that the value of a fleet of jumbo covered hopper cars had declined in value to the extent that the carrying values had become impaired. This decline is the result of decreased long-term demand for these types of assets and a corresponding reduction in the amounts of rental payments that these assets currently command. Management has recorded a provision for the decline in value of those assets in the amount of $397,872 for the year ended December 31, 2002. 8 2001 vs. 2000: Operations in 2001 resulted in net income of $170,758 compared to $1,682,730 in 2000. The decrease is primarily due to the maturing of operating leases and the subsequent sales of the related lease assets. This resulted in decreased operating lease rents in 2001 compared to 2000. Such rents decreased from $9,296,456 in 2000 to $5,850,367 in 2001. Assets sales also resulted in decreased depreciation expense in 2001. Depreciation decreased by $1,852,011 compared to 2000. Proceeds from the sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one period to another as the sales of lease assets is subject to various factors such as the timing of lease terminations, the timing of market demand and the condition and uniqueness of the assets subject to sale. As a result, gains and losses recognized on the sales of lease assets are not expected to be consistent from one year to another, however, such gains increased by $59,302 compared to 2000. 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. Cost reimbursements to the General Partner increased as a result of a revised analysis of the costs incurred by the General Partners and allocated to the Partnership. Recent Accounting Pronouncement In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, for a disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Partnership adopted SFAS 144 as of January 1, 2002. The adoption of the Statement did not have a significant impact on the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. Internal Controls As of December 31, 2002, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Partnership's management, including the CEO and CFO of the General Partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Partnership's management, including the CEO and CFO of the General Partner, concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2002. There have been no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to December 31, 2002. Critical Accounting Policies The policies discussed below are considered by management of the Partnership to be critical to an understanding of the Partnership's financial statements because their application requires significant complex or subjective judgments, decisions, or assessments, with financial reporting results relying on estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in the following paragraphs. The Partnership also states these accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements and in relevant sections in this discussion and analysis. For all of these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. 9 Asset Valuation: Recorded values of the Company's asset portfolio are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss is measured and recognized only if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the asset's expected holding period and estimates of undiscounted future rents. The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset is utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the market place are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value (as determined by the discounted estimated future cash flows) of the assets and its carrying value on the measurement date. 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, 2002, the outstanding balance on the floating rate line of credit was zero. To hedge its interest rate risk related to this variable rate debt, the Partnership may enter into interest rate swaps. As of December 31, 2002, 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. Item 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See the Report of Independent Auditors, Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements attached hereto at pages 10 through 24. 10 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Partners ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (Partnership) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2002. 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, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP San Francisco, California February 7, 2003 11 ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 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, primarily in the United States. 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 Services LLC (ATEL). Prior to converting to a limited liability company structure, the General Partner was formerly known as ATEL Financial Corporation. The Partnership's business consists of leasing various types of equipment. As of December 31, 2002, 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 (See Notes 5 and 6). 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 lives of the related leases. Direct financing leases: Income from direct financing lease transactions is reported using 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 that are financed principally with non-recourse debt at lease inception and that 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. 16 ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued): Asset valuation: Recorded values of the Company's asset portfolio are periodically reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. An impairment loss is measured and recognized only if the estimated undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than their net book value. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows are the sum of the estimated residual value of the asset at the end of the asset's expected holding period and estimates of undiscounted future rents. The residual value assumes, among other things, that the asset is utilized normally in an open, unrestricted and stable market. Short-term fluctuations in the market place are disregarded and it is assumed that there is no necessity either to dispose of a significant number of the assets, if held in quantity, simultaneously or to dispose of the asset quickly. Impairment is measured as the difference between the fair value (as determined by the discounted estimated future cash flows) of the assets and its carrying value on the measurement date. Statements of cash flows: For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents include 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): 2002 2001 ---- ---- Financial statement basis of net assets $18,865,005 $ 18,546,425 Tax basis of net assets 23,293,593 16,617,377 ---------------- ---------------- Difference $ 4,428,588 $ 1,929,048 ================ ================ 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): 2002 2001 2000 ---- ---- ---- Net income per financial statements $ 1,455,267 $ 170,758 $ 1,682,730 Adjustment to depreciation expense 2,160,483 (379,786) (491,694) Provisions for losses and doubtful accounts 487,872 64,680 - Adjustments to revenues 3,631,306 4,963,156 8,201,164 ---------------- --------------- ---------------- Net income per federal tax return $ 7,734,928 $ 4,818,808 $ 9,392,200 ================ =============== ================ 17 ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued): Credit risk: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, direct finance lease receivables 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, 2002. Basis of presentation: The accompanying financial statements as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the three years ended December 31, 2002 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Derivative financial instruments: In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which established new accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. SFAS No. 133 has been amended by SFAS No. 137, issued in June 1999, and by SFAS No. 138, issued in June 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, requires the Partnership to recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. It further provides criteria for derivative instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow, or foreign currency hedges, and establishes accounting standards for reporting changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments. The Partnership does not utilize derivative financial instruments. ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued): Recent accounting pronouncement: In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets and supersedes SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations, for a disposal of a segment of a business. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001, with earlier application encouraged. The Partnership adopted SFAS 144 as of January 1, 2002. The adoption of the Statement did not have a significant impact on the Partnership's financial position and results of operations. Initial direct costs: The Partnership capitalizes initial direct costs associated with the acquisition of lease assets. The costs are amortized over a five year period using a straight line method. Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable represent the amounts billed under lease contracts and currently due to the Partnership. Allowances for doubtful accounts are typically established based on historical charge offs and collection experience and are usually determined by specifically identified lessees and invoiced amounts. 3. Investments in equipment and leases: As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership's investments in equipment and leases consist of the following: Depreciation Expense or Reclass- December 31, Amortization ifications or December 31, 2001 of Leases Dispositions 2002 ---- --------- -------------- ---- Net investment in operating leases $26,533,841 $(3,114,722) $(9,934,670) $13,484,449 Net investment in direct financing leases 8,094,439 (1,402,177) (5,512,181) 1,180,081 Net investment in leveraged leases 1,073,050 11,387 (944,425) 140,012 Assets held for sale or lease 725,609 - 2,798,018 3,523,627 Residual value interests 835,759 - (835,759) - Reserve for losses and impairments (2,224,816) (487,872) - (2,712,688) Initial direct costs, net of accumulated amortization of $544,354 in 2002 and $1,115,605 in 2001 429,786 (397,549) - 32,237 ---------------- ----------------- -------------- ---------------- $35,467,668 $(5,390,933) $(14,429,017) $15,647,718 ================ ================= ============== ================ 18 ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 3. Investments in equipment and leases (continued): Management periodically reviews the carrying values of its assets on leases and assets held for lease or sale. As a result of that review, management determined that the value of a fleet of jumbo covered hopper cars had declined in value to the extent that the carrying values had become impaired. This decline is the result of decreased long-term demand for these types of assets and a corresponding reduction in the amounts of rental payments that these assets currently command. Management has recorded a provision for the decline in value of those assets in the amount of $487,872 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Operating leases: Property on operating leases consists of the following: Reclass- December 31, ifications or December 31, 2001 Additions Dispositions 2002 ---- --------- -------------- ---- Transportation $36,606,091 $ - $(16,012,920) $ 20,593,171 Manufacturing 2,666,354 - - 2,666,354 Construction 11,425,007 - (9,252,200) 2,172,807 Materials handling 248,749 - (199,199) 49,550 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- 50,946,201 - (25,464,319) 25,481,882 Less accumulated depreciation (24,412,360) (3,114,722) 15,529,649 (11,997,433) ---------------- ---------------- --------------- ---------------- $26,533,841 $(3,114,722) $(9,934,670) $ 13,484,449 ================ ================ =============== ================ Direct financing leases: As of December 31, 2002, investment in direct financing leases consists of railroad auto racks, railroad tank cars and retail store fixtures.

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 whereby 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. Each of ATEL Leasing Corporation ("ALC"), ATEL Equipment Corporation ("AEC"), ATEL Investor Services ("AIS") and ATEL Financial Services LLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATEL Capital Group and performs services for the Partnership. Acquisition services are performed for the Partnership by ALC, equipment management, lease administration and asset disposition services are performed by AEC, investor relations and communications services are performed by AIS and general administrative services for the Partnership are performed by ATEL Financial Services LLC. 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.

The line of credit expires on June 28, 2004. As of December 31, 2002, borrowings under the facility were as follows: Amount borrowed by the Partnership under the acquisition facility $ - Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited liability companies under the acquisition facility 29,000,000 ---------------- Total borrowings under the acquisition facility 29,000,000 Amounts borrowed by the General Partner and its sister corporation under the warehouse facility - ---------------- Total outstanding balance $ 29,000,000 ================ Total available under the line of credit $ 55,645,837 Total outstanding balance (29,000,000) ---------------- Remaining availability $ 26,645,837 ================ Draws on the acquisition facility by any individual borrower are secured only by that borrower's assets, including equipment and related leases.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 8. Line of credit (continued): During 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership borrowed $500,000, $8,200,000 and $1,000,000, respectively, under the line of credit. The Partnership repaid $7,000,000 and $2,700,000 under the line of credit in 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no repayments on the line of credit during 2000. 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, 2002. 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, 2002 is $626,340. 10. Contingencies: On September 11, 2000, Republic Transportation Finance, Inc. and its parent, Republic Financial Corporation (collectively, "Republic"), filed suit against the Partnership, claiming relief in the amount of $1,110,770, representing Republic's interpretation of their share of the proceeds to a residual sharing arrangement. The Partnership did not dispute that sums were owed to Republic, merely the amount. The Partnership believed that Republic was only entitled to $587,317 (which amount was included in accounts payable in the Partnership's financial statements at December 31, 2000), based upon the Partnership's interpretation of the underlying contract. Although the Partnership believed it had a reasonable basis for prevailing, it settled this matter for a total of $750,000 in 2001. The additional $162,683 is included in other expenses in 2001. 23 ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 11.
