NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Partnership's
financial position as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the changes of
net assets in liquidation and the results of its operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and its cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 2001. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

     See notes to financial statements included in the Partnership's 2001 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 had disposed
of all of its real estate investments as of December 31, 2001. The Partnership
sold its last remaining asset in March 2001. On December 31, 2001, the
Partnership adopted a plan of liquidation and intends to liquidate and dissolve
in 2002.

     In connection with its adoption of a plan of liquidation on December 31,
2001, the Partnership also adopted the liquidation basis of accounting which,
among other things, requires that assets and liabilities be stated at their
estimated net realizable value and that estimated costs of liquidating the
Partnership be provided to the extent that they are reasonably determinable.

NOTE 2 - PROPERTY
- -----------------

     On March 27, 2001, the Partnership sold the Santa Rita Plaza property for
$8,850,000. The Partnership received net proceeds of $8,311,296 and recognized a
gain of $1,614,745 ($19.44 per limited partnership unit). Subsequent to the sale
date, the note receivable and accrued interest related to this property in the
amount of $1,338,797 was paid in full to the Partnership on April 10, 2001. On
April 26, 2001 the Partnership made a capital distribution of $9,373,992
($114.00 per limited partnership unit) consisting of the sale proceeds as well
as the note receivable and accrued interest.

NOTE 3 - Accrued Expenses for liquidation
- -------------------------

     Accrued expenses for liquidation as of March 31, 2002 include estimates of
costs to be incurred in carrying out the dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership. These costs include estimates of legal fees, accounting fees, tax
preparation and filing fees and other professional services. During the three
months ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership incurred $21,790 of such expenses.

     The actual costs could vary from the related provisions due to the
uncertainty related to the length of time required to complete the liquidation
and dissolution of the Partnership. The accrued expenses do not take into
consideration possible litigation arising from the customary representations and
warranties made as part of each sale. Such costs are unknown and are not
estimable at this time.

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

Accounting Policies
- -------------------

     Revenue Recognition

     The Partnership recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the
lease terms.

     The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the
equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the net
equity investment of the Partnership is reflected on the balance sheets, and the
Partnership's share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included in
the statements of operations.

     The Partnership records real estate sales at the time a sale is
consummated. A sale is consummated when the parties are bound by the terms of a
contract, all consideration has been exchanged, all conditions precedent to
closing have been met, and title has passed from seller to buyer.

     Liquidation Basis of Accounting

     The Partnership adopted a plan of liquidation on December 31, 2001, and, as
a result, the Partnership also adopted the liquidation basis of accounting
which, among other things, requires that assets and liabilities be stated at
their estimated net realizable value and that estimated costs of liquidating the
Partnership be provided to the extent that they are reasonably determinable.
Accrued expenses for liquidation as of December 31, 2001 include estimates of
costs to be incurred in carrying out the dissolution and liquidation of the
Partnership. These costs include estimates of legal fees, accounting fees, tax
preparation and filing fees and other professional services. The actual costs
could vary from the related provisions due to the uncertainty related to the
length of time required to complete the liquidation and dissolution of the
Partnership. The accrued expenses do not take into consideration possible
litigation arising from the customary representations and warranties made as
part of each sale. Such costs, if any, are unknown and are not estimable at this
time. Similarly, there can be no assurance as to the timing of a distribution of
the Partnership's assets or the amount of assets that will be distributed to the
Partnership's Unit holders.

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

real estate investments, all of which have been sold: two in 1994, two in 1997,
three in 1999, one in 2000 and one in 2001. As a result of the sales and other
capital transactions, capital of $74,404,636 has been returned to the limited
partners through March 31, 2002. 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 to $229 in 2000 and to $96 in 2001.

     At March 31, 2002, the Partnership had $788,158 in cash and cash
equivalents, which is being retained as a reserve in connection with the
liquidation of the Partnership. Distributions of cash from operations and
operational cash previously held in reserves relating to the first quarter of
2001 were made at an annualized rate of 9% on the adjusted capital contribution
of $229.00 per unit. At the time of the first quarter distribution, the
Partnership made two capital distributions: one consisting of original working
capital previously held in reserves in the amount of $1,562,332 and the other
consisting of the Santa Rita Plaza sales proceeds in the amount of $9,373,992.
The sale distribution also included the note receivable and accrued interest
proceeds received subsequent to quarter end in the amount of $1,338,797.

A REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP


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

     Form of Real Estate Investment

     Santa Rita Plaza was a wholly-owned property. Santa Rita Plaza was sold on
March 27, 2001.

     Operating Factors

     As mentioned above, the Santa Rita Plaza property was sold on March 27,
2001 and the Partnership recognized a gain of $1,614,745. At the time of the
sale, Santa Rita Plaza was 100% occupied.

     Investment Results

     The operating results for the three month periods ended March 31, 2002 and
2001 are not comparable due to the sale of the Partnership's last remaining
property in March 2001, as discussed above.

     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. Management fees were not incurred
during the first quarter of 2002 due to the discontinuance of operating cash
distributions as a result of the sale of the Partnership's last remaining
property in 2001, discussed above.

     General and administrative expenses consist primarily of real estate
appraisal, printing, legal, accounting and investor servicing fees. General and
administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 were
$60,512.

     Costs to dissolve and liquidate the Partnership include legal fees,
accounting fees, tax preparation fees, filing fees and other professional
services. During the three months ended March 31, 2002, the Partnership incurred
$21,790 of expenses.
