its operations, its cash flows and partners' capital (deficit) for the three

recurring nature.

     See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 1999 Annual
Report on Form 10-K for additional information relating to the Partnership's
financial statements.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
- ----------------------------------

     New England Pension Properties V; A Real Estate Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") is a Massachusetts limited partnership organized for the purpose
of investing primarily in newly constructed and existing income producing real
properties. It primarily serves as an investment for qualified pension and
profit sharing plans and other entities intended to be exempt from federal
income tax. The Partnership commenced operations in May, 1987 and acquired its
real estate investments prior to the end of 1989. The Partnership intends to
dispose of its investments within eight to twelve years of their acquisition,
and then liquidate. The Partnership has engaged AEW Real Estate Advisors, Inc.
(the "Advisor") to provide asset management services.

NOTE 2 - REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES
- -----------------------------------

     On December 20, 1999, the Columbia Gateway Corporate Park joint venture
investment in which the Partnership and an affiliate are entitled to 30.5% and
69.5%, respectively, of the operating activity, sold its property to an
unaffiliated third party for gross proceeds of $19,850,000, of which the
Partnership's share was $6,054,250. The Partnership received its 30.5% share of
the net proceeds, $5,891,032 after closing costs, and recognized a gain of
$957,057 ($11.52 per limited partnership unit) on the sale. On January 27, 2000,
the Partnership made a capital distribution of $5,755,960 ($70 per limited
partnership unit) from the proceeds of the sale. In addition, a portion of the
proceeds was used to pay previously accrued but deferred management fees to the
Advisor of $23,617. At December 31, 1999, $500,000 remained in the joint
venture, of which the Partnership's 30.5% share, $152,500, was distributed to
the Partnership in February 2000.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Partnership completed its offering of limited partnership units in
December 1988. A total of 83,291 units were sold. The Partnership received
proceeds of $74,895,253, net of selling commissions and other offering costs,
which have been used for investment in real estate, for the payment of related
acquisition costs and for working capital reserves. The Partnership made nine
real estate investments, eight of which have been sold: two in 1994, two in
1997, three in 1999, and one in 2000. As a result of the sales, capital of
$59,850,280 has been returned to the limited partners through March 31, 2000.
The adjusted capital contribution was reduced to $952 from $1,000 per unit in
1994, to $924 in 1995, to $616 in 1997, to $367 in 1999 and then to $273 in
2000.

     At March 31, 2000, the Partnership had $6,415,646 in cash and cash
equivalents, of which $357,152 was used for cash distributions to partners on
April 27, 2000; the remainder will be used to complete the funding of real
estate investments or be retained as working capital reserves. The source of
future liquidity and cash distributions to partners will be cash generated by
the Partnership's invested cash and cash equivalents and real estate
investments. Distributions of cash from operations relating to the first quarter
of 2000 were made at an annualized rate of 5.5% on the weighted average adjusted
capital contribution of $312.52. Distributions of cash from operations relating
to the first quarter of 1999 were made at the annualized rate of 6.50% on the
adjusted capital contribution of $616. The distribution rate decreased between
the first quarter of 1999 and 2000 due to the decrease in operational cash flow
as a result of the four property sales between the two respective periods.

     The carrying value of real estate investments in the financial statements
is at depreciated cost, or if the investment's carrying value is determined not
to be recoverable through expected undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying
value is reduced to estimated fair market value. The fair market value of such
investments is further reduced by the estimated cost of sale for properties held
for sale. Carrying value may be greater or less than current appraised value. At
March 31, 2000, the appraised value of the remaining investment exceeded its
related carrying value by an aggregate of $39,000. The current appraised value
of the real estate investment has been estimated by the managing general partner
and is generally based on a combination of traditional appraisal approaches
performed by the Partnership's Advisor and independent appraisers. Because of
the subjectivity inherent in the valuation process, the estimated current
appraised value may differ significantly from that which could be realized if
the real estate were actually offered for sale in the marketplace.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

     Santa Rita Plaza is a wholly-owned property. Waters Landing II, Puente
Street and Dahlia, which were sold in February 2000, June 1999 and August 1999,
respectively, were also wholly-owned properties. Columbia Gateway Corporate Park
was structured as a joint venture with a real estate development/management firm
and an affiliate of the Partnership. Columbia Gateway was sold on December 20,
1999.

Operating Factors

     As mentioned above, the Columbia Gateway Corporate Park joint venture
investment in which the Partnership and an affiliate were entitled to 30.5% and
69.5% of the operating activity, respectively, sold its property on December
20,1999. The Partnership recognized its 30.5% share of the gain of $957,057. The
property was 100% leased at the time of sale.

     As mentioned above, the Puente Street property was sold on June 25, 1999
and the Partnership recognized a gain of $104,974. The property was 100% leased
at the time of sale.

     As mentioned above, the Dahlia property was sold on August 27, 1999 and the
Partnership recognized a gain of $3,367,359. The property was 100% leased at the
time of sale.

     As mentioned above, the Waters Landing II property was sold on December 20,
1999 and the Partnership recognized a gain of $556,268.

     Occupancy at Santa Rita Plaza during the first quarter of 2000 was 100%
compared with 91% at March 31, 1999.

Investment Activity

     Interest on cash equivalents for the first quarter of 2000 increased
approximately $21,000 compared to the same period of 1999. This was primarily
due to higher investment balances as a result of the temporary investment of
proceeds from the sales of Columbia Gateway and Waters Landing II on December
20, 1999 and February 17, 2000, respectively, prior to distribution to the
partners.

     Real estate operations decreased $212,389 between the first quarter of 2000
and the comparable quarter of 1999. This decrease is the result of the sales of
Puente Street, Dahlia and Columbia Gateway in June 1999, August 1999 and
December 1999, respectively.

     Cash flow from operations decreased approximately $411,000 between the
first quarter of 2000 and 1999. This decrease is primarily due to the sales of
Puente Street, Dahlia and Columbia Gateway in June 1999, August 1999 and
December 1999, respectively.

Portfolio Expenses

     The Partnership management fee is 9% of distributable cash flow from
operations after any increase or decrease in working capital reserves as
determined by the managing general partner. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of real estate appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and
investor servicing fees.

     The Partnership management fee decreased between the first quarter of 2000
and 1999 due to a decrease in distributable cash flow. General and
administrative expenses remained relatively stable between the first quarter of
1999 and 2000.
