NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL
The information contained in the following notes to the financial
statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual
audited financial statements; accordingly, the financial statements
included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial
statements and related notes thereto contained in the annual report for
the year ended December 31, 2000 prepared by Real Estate Associates
Limited V (the "Partnership"). Accounting measurements at interim dates
inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year end. The
results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.
In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of September 30, 2001, and the results of operations and changes in cash
flows for the nine and three months then ended.
The general partners have a 1 percent interest in profits and losses of
the Partnership. The limited partners have the remaining 99 percent
interest which is allocated in proportion to their respective individual
investments. National Partnership Investments Corp. (NAPICO) is the
managing general partner of the Partnership. Casden Properties Inc. owns
a 95.25% economic interest in NAPICO, with the balance owned by Casden
Investment Corporation ("CIC"). CIC, which is wholly owned by Alan I.
Casden, owns 95% of the voting common stock of NAPICO.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
141, "Business Combinations" and SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141 was effective immediately and SFAS 142
will be effective January 2002. The new standards are not expected to
have a significant impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
The investment in limited partnerships is accounted for on the equity
method. Acquisition, selection and other costs related to the acquisition
of the projects are capitalized as part of the investment balance and are
being amortized on a straight line basis over the estimated lives of the
underlying assets, which is generally 30 years.
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest was computed by
dividing the limited partners' share of net income (loss) by the number
of limited partnership interests outstanding during the period. The
number of limited partnership interests was 7,808 for the periods
presented.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank certificates of
deposit with an original maturity of three months or less. The
Partnership has its cash and cash equivalents on deposit with high credit
quality financial institutions. Such cash and cash equivalents are in
excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
INCOME TAXES
No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying financial
statements since such taxes, if any, are the liability of the individual
partners.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Partnership reviews long-lived assets to determine if there has been
any permanent impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If
the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
amount of the assets, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss.
The Partnership holds limited partnership interests in 3 limited
partnerships, located in 3 different states. The limited partnerships
owned as of September 30, 2001, residential low income rental projects
consisting of 228 apartment units. The mortgage loans of these projects
are payable to or insured by various governmental agencies.
The Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to 75 percent to 99
percent of the profits and losses in these limited partnerships.
Equity in losses of limited partnerships is recognized in the financial
statements until the limited partnership investment account is reduced to
a zero balance. Losses incurred after the limited partnership investment
account is reduced to zero are not recognized.
Distributions from the limited partnerships are accounted for as a return
of capital until the investment balance is reduced to zero or to a
negative amount equal to further capital contributions required.
Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.
The following is a summary of the investment in limited partnerships for
the nine months ended September 30, 2001:
Balance, beginning of period $ 611,617
Equity in income of limited partnerships 199,118
Amortization of acquisition costs (4,671)

========== ========== ========== ==========
Under recently adopted law and policy, the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the
Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the
existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP Contracts under
such new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance payments under
renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals instead of above
market rentals, which may be the case under existing HAP Contracts. The
payments under the renewed HAP Contracts may not be in an amount that
would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of properties subject
to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements of existing loans
insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD ("FHA") unless such
mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address the reduction in
payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new policy, the
Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of 1997
("MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for
8
REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATES LIMITED V
(A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2001
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (CONTINUED)
the restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to
properties subject to mortgage loan can be restructured into a first
mortgage loan the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured which
will be amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage
loan payable to FHA which will only be payable on maturity of the first
mortgage loan. This restructuring results in a reduction in annual debt
service payable by the owner of the FHA-insured mortgage loan and is
expected to result in an insurance payment from FHA to the holder of the
FHA-insured loan due to the reduction in the principal amount. MAHRAA
also phases out project-based subsidies on selected properties serving
families not located in rental markets with limited supply, converting
such subsidies to a tenant-based subsidy.
When the HAP Contracts are subject to renewal, there can be no assurance
that the local limited partnerships in which the Partnership has an
investment will be permitted to restructure its mortgage indebtedness
under MAHRAA. In addition, the economic impact on the Partnership of the
combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the
restructuring of the existing FHA-insured mortgage loans under MAHRAA is
uncertain.
On December 30, 1998, after obtaining consents of the limited partners,
the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 16 local
limited partnerships to subsidiaries of Casden Properties Inc. The sale
resulted in cash proceeds to the Partnership of $1,063,235 which was
collected in 1999. In March 1999, the Partnership made cash distributions
of $2,042,603 to the limited partners and $20,632 to the general
partners, which included using proceeds from the sale of the partnership
interests.
NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER
Under the terms of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
Partners, the Partnership is obligated to NAPICO for an annual management
fee equal to .4 percent of the invested assets of the limited
partnerships. Invested assets are defined as the costs of acquiring
project interests, including the proportionate amount of the mortgage
loans related to the Partnership's interests in the capital accounts of
the respective partnerships. The fee was approximately $31,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000.

NOTE 3 - MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES DUE TO GENERAL PARTNER (CONTINUED)
The Partnership reimburses NAPICO for certain expenses. The expense
incurred to NAPICO was approximately $3,500 and $3,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and is included
in administrative expenses.
NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES
In April 2001, a lawsuit was filed against the Partnership by a limited
partner. The lawsuit seeks equitable relief for access to the
Partnership's books and records and unspecified damages for breach of
fiduciary duty. The Partnership has provided the plaintiff access to the
requested books and records and the matter is schedule for trial on May
15, 2002.
On August 27, 1998, two investors holding an aggregate of eight units of
limited partnership interests in Real Estate Associates Limited III (an
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
and two investors holding an aggregate of five units of limited
partnership interest in Real Estate Associates Limited VI (another
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
commenced an action in the United States District Court for the Central
District of California against the Partnership, NAPICO and certain other
affiliated entities. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached
their fiduciary duty to the limited partners of certain NAPICO managed
partnerships and made materially false and misleading statements in the
consent solicitation statements sent to the limited partners of such
partnerships relating to approval of the transfer of partnership
interests in limited partnerships, owning certain of the properties, to
Casden Properties Inc., which was organized by an affiliate of NAPICO.
The plaintiffs seek equitable relief, as well as compensatory damages and
litigation related costs. On August 4, 1999, one investor holding one
unit of limited partnership interest in Housing Programs Limited (another
affiliated partnership in which NAPICO is the managing general partner)
commenced a virtually identical action in the United States District
Court for the Central District of California against the Partnership,
NAPICO and certain other affiliated entities. The second action has been
subsumed in the first action, which has been certified as a class action.
NAPICO, the managing general partner of such partnerships, and the other
defendants believe that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit and are
to contesting the actions vigorously.
The managing general partner of the Partnership is involved in various
lawsuits arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business.

NOTE 4 - CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
In the opinion of management and the corporate general partner, the above
claims will not result in any material liability to the Partnership.
NOTE 5 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value
information about financial instruments. The carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities reported on the balance sheets that require such
disclosure approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership's primary sources of funds include interest income earned
from investing available cash and distributions from limited partnerships
in which the Partnership has invested. The Partnership made a
distribution to investors in March 1999, which included using proceeds
from the disposition of its investments in certain partnerships.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Partnership revenues consist primarily of interest income earned on
certificates of deposit and other temporary investment of funds not
required for investment in local partnerships.
Operating expenses consist primarily of recurring general and
administrative expenses and professional fees for services rendered to
the Partnership. In addition, an annual Partnership management fee in an
amount equal to .4 percent of invested assets is payable to the corporate
general partner.
The Partnership accounts for its investments in the local limited
partnerships on the equity method, thereby adjusting its investment
balance by its proportionate share of the income or loss of the local
limited partnerships. Losses incurred after the limited partnership
investment account is reduced to zero are not recognized in accordance
with the equity accounting method.
Distributions received from limited partnerships are recognized as return
of capital until the investment balance has been reduced to zero or to a
negative amount equal to future capital contributions required.
Subsequent distributions received are recognized as income.
Except for certificates of deposit and money market funds, the
Partnership's investments are entirely interests in other limited
partnerships primarily owning government assisted projects. Available
cash is invested in these funds earning interest income as reflected in
the statement of operations. These funds can be converted to cash to meet
obligations as they arise. The Partnership intends to continue investing
available funds in this manner.
Under recent adopted law and policy, the United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") has determined not to renew the
Housing Assistance Payment ("HAP") Contracts on a long term basis on the
existing terms. In connection with renewals of the HAP

Contracts under such new law and policy, the amount of rental assistance
payments under renewed HAP Contracts will be based on market rentals
instead of above market rentals, which may be the case under existing HAP
Contracts. The payments under the renewed AP Contracts may not be in an
amount that would provide sufficient cash flow to permit owners of
properties subject to HAP Contracts to meet the debt service requirements
of existing loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration of HUD
("FHA") unless such mortgage loans are restructured. In order to address
the reduction in payments under HAP Contracts as a result of this new
policy, the Multi-family Assisted Housing Reform and Affordability Act of
1997 ("MAHRAA"), which was adopted in October 1997, provides for the
restructuring of mortgage loans insured by the FHA with respect to
properties subject to the Section 8 program. Under MAHRAA, an FHA-insured
mortgage loan can be restructured into a first mortgage loan which will
be amortized on a current basis and a low interest second mortgage loan

combination of the reduced payments under the HAP Contracts and the

uncertain.
On December 30, 1998, after obtaining consents of the limited partners,
the Partnership sold its limited partnership interests in 16 local
