1.  Summary of significant accounting policies:

Interim financial statements:

The unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of the general partners,  necessary to a fair statement of financial
position and results of operations for the interim periods  presented.  All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These unaudited interim financial
statements  should be read in  conjunction  with the most recent  report on Form
10K.


2.  Organization and partnership matters:

ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws
of the State of California  on September 23, 1992,  for the purpose of acquiring
equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities.  Contributions in
the  aggregate  of $600 were  received  as of  October  6,  1992,  $100 of which
represented  the  General  Partner's  continuing  interest,  and  $500 of  which
represented the Initial Limited Partners' capital investment.

Upon the sale of the  minimum  amount of Units of Limited  Partnership  interest
(Units) of $1,200,000 and the receipt of the proceeds thereof on March 19, 1993,
the Partnership commenced operations.  The Fund or the General Partner on behalf
of the Fund, will incur costs in connection with the organization,  registration
and  issuance  of the Units.  The amount of such costs to be born by the Fund is
limited by certain provisions in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.

As of  November  15,  1994,  the  Partnership  had  received  subscriptions  for
12,500,000 Limited  Partnership Units  ($125,000,000) in addition to the Initial
Limited  Partners'  50  Units.  Of  those  Units,  12,498,300  were  issued  and
outstanding as of June 30, 1996.

The Fund does not make a provision  for income taxes since all income and losses
will be allocated to the Partners for inclusion in their individual tax returns.

7.  Line of credit:

The  Partnership  participates  with ATEL and  certain  of its  Affiliates  in a
$70,000,000  revolving line of credit with a financial institution that includes
certain financial covenants. The line of credit expires on July 18, 1997.

The current line of credit,  when used, is  collateralized by (i) specific lease
assets assigned or (ii) all lease  receivables and other lease related  proceeds
owned by the Partnership,  all equipment subject to leases and related insurance
policies and  maintenance  contracts  owned by the  Partnership  and all deposit
accounts with the lender and all cash on deposit.


8.  Subsequent event:

On July 19, 1996, the Partnership's interest in the bankruptcy of Barney's, Inc.
(Barney's),  a former lessee of the  Partnership  was settled.  The terms of the
settlement  provided  for the  sale of the  assets  which  had  been  leased  to
Barney's,  for the repayment of the non-recourse debt used by the Partnership to
finance the assets and for net cash proceeds to the Partnership.  The settlement
resulted  in a gain on the sale of the assets of $689,235  and an  extraordinary
gain on the extinguishment of the debt of $160,955.

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

Capital Resources and Liquidity

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

The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies,
but in the event those  reserves were found to be  inadequate,  the  Partnership
would  likely be in a position to borrow  against its current  portfolio to meet
such  requirements.  The General  Partner  envisions  no such  requirements  for
operating purposes.

As of June 30, 1996, the  Partnership  had borrowed  $45,043,566.  The remaining
unpaid balance at that date was  $40,203,229.  Borrowings are to be non-recourse
to the Partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender is to the equipment
or corresponding  lease acquired or secured with the loan proceeds.  The General
Partner  expects that aggregate  borrowings in the future will be  approximately
40% of  aggregate  equipment  cost.  In any  event,  the  Agreement  of  Limited
Partnership  limits such  borrowings to 40% of the total cost of  equipment,  in
aggregate.

No  commitments  of capital  have been or are expected to be made other than for
the acquisition of additional  equipment.  As of June 30, 1996, such commitments
totaled approximately $6,261,000.

If  inflation  in the general  economy  becomes  significant,  it may affect the
Partnership  inasmuch as the residual  (resale) values and rates on re-leases of
the  Partnership's  leased  assets may  increase as the costs of similar  assets
increase.  However,  the  Partnership's  revenues from existing leases would not
increase,  as such rates are generally fixed for the terms of the leases without
adjustment for inflation.

If interest rates increase  significantly,  the lease rates that the Partnership
can obtain on future  leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital
is a significant  factor in the pricing of lease  financing.  Leases  already in
place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.

During the first six months of 1995 and 1996, the  Partnership's  primary source
of cash was rents from operating leases.

Cash flows

For both the three and six month  periods  in 1995 and 1996,  the  Partnership's
primary source of cash flows from operations was rents from operating leases.

In 1996,  the  largest  source of cash fro  investing  activities  was rents fro
direct  financing  leases  which were  accounted  for as  reductions  in the net
investment in such leases. Direct financing lease rents were also significant in
1995, but in that year,  proceeds from the sales of lease assets was the largest
source of cash flows from investing activities.

For the six month period in 1996,  proceeds of non-recourse  debt and borrowings
under the line of credit were the Partnership's  only sources of cash flows from
financing activities.  For the three month periods in both 1995 and 1996 and for
the  six  month  period  in  1995,  proceeds  from  non-recourse  debt  was  the
Partnership's only financing source of cash flows.

                                       13



Results of operations

For both the  three and six  month  periods,  revenues  from  operating,  direct
financing and leveraged  leases has increased  compared to 1995. These increases
are the result of equipment  acquisitions over the last year, in excess of asset
dispositions.

Gains on the sales of assets has  decreased  significantly  compared to 1995. In
1995, a single large sale accounted for most of the recognized gain and for most
of the sales proceeds received. There were no similar sales in 1996.

Depreciation  and  amortization  have  increased as a  consequence  of equipment
acquisitions over the last year.

Since June 30, 1995, the  Partnership's  non-recourse debt balance has increased
from  $10,282,644 to $40,203,229  and amounts  outstanding on the line of credit
have  increased to  $19,686,881  at June 30, 1996 from  nothing a year  earlier.
These increased  borrowings have led to the increase of interest expense for the
six month period from $287,553 in 1995 to $1,924,366 in 1996.  Interest  expense
for the three month periods has increased from $141,520 in 1995 to $1,079,810 in
1996.
