AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-C LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements presented herein are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions for preparing Form 10-Q under Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and are unaudited. As such, these
financial statements do not include all information and footnote disclosures
required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the footnotes presented in the 1999 Annual Report.
Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change to the
information presented in the footnotes to the 1999 Annual Report.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and
recurring adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the financial
position at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 and results of operations for
the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 have been made and are
reflected.
The Partnership's March 31, 2000 financial statements included herein have
been adusted to reflect the correction of errors included in the original
filing of the Partnership's March 31, 2000Form 10-Q. The correction of the
errors in the Partnership's Amended March 31, 2000 Form 10-Q includes the
reversal of an overstatement of lease revenues and management fee expense and
the application of the appropriate accounting treatment of a loan made by the
Partnership in March 2000. See further discussion of the loan included in Note
5 herein. The effect of the correction of the errors on the Partnership's
Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was to
decrease total revenue by $109,307 and decrease total expenses by $2,011,
resulting in a decrease to net income of $107,296 and a decrease to net income
per limited partnership unit of $.11 per unit.
NOTE 2--CASH
At March 31, 2000, American Income Partners V-C Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") had $929,651 invested in federal agency discount notes,
repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S.
Government securities, or other highly liquid overnight investments.
NOTE 3--REVENUE RECOGNITION
Rents are payable to the Partnership monthly or quarterly and no significant
amounts are calculated on factors other than the passage of time. The leases
are accounted for as operating leases and are noncancellable. Rents received
prior to their due dates are deferred. In certain instances, the Partnership
may enter renewal or re-lease agreements which expire beyond the Partnership's
anticipated dissolution date. This circumstance is not expected to prevent the
orderly wind-up of the Partnership's business activities as the General Partner
and Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("EFG") would seek to sell the
then-remaining equipment assets either to the lessee or to a third party,
taking into consideration the amount of future noncancellable rental payments
associated with the attendant lease agreements. See also Note 6 to the
financial statements presented in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report
regarding the Class Action Lawsuit. Future minimum rents of $412,798 are due as
follows:
For the year ending March 31, 2001............................ $224,248
2002.......................................................... 188,550
--------
Total......................................................... $412,798

NOTE 4--EQUIPMENT
The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at March
31, 2000. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the number
of months remaining from March 31, 2000 under contracted lease terms and is
presented as a range when more than one lease agreement is contained in the
stated equipment category. A Remaining Lease Term equal to zero reflects
equipment either held for sale or re-lease or being leased on a month-to-month
basis. In the opinion of EFG, the acquisition cost of the equipment did not
exceed its fair market value.

At March 31, 2000, all of the Partnership's equipment was subject to
contracted leases or being leased on a month-to-month basis.
NOTE 5--INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE VENTURE
On March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the
"Exchange Partnerships") collectively loaned $32.0 million to Echelon
Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings"), a newly formed real
estate development company. Echelon Residential Holdings is owned by several
investors, including James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. Mr.
Coyne, in his individual capacity, is the only equity investor in Echelon
Residential Holdings related to EFG.
The Partnership's participation in the loan is $2,390,000. Echelon
Residential Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential
LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon
International Corporation, a Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a
term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual interest rate
of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest
accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with
the transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest
in all of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in
Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral.
Using the guidance set forth in the Third Notice to Practitioners by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") in February 1986
entitled "ADC Arrangements" (the "Third Notice"), the Partnership has evaluated
this investment to determine whether loan, joint venture or real estate
accounting is appropriate. Such determination affects the Partnership's balance
sheet classification of the investment and the recognition of revenues derived
therefrom. The Third Notice was issued to address those real estate
acquisition, development and construction arrangements where a lender has
virtually the same risk and potential awards as those of owners or joint
ventures. Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 86-21, "Application of the AICPA
Notice to Practitioners regarding Acquisition, Development and Construction
Arrangements to Acquisition of an Operating Property" expanded the
applicability of the Third Notice to entities other than financial
institutions.
7
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-C LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued)
Based on the applicability of the Third Notice, EITF 86-21 and consideration
of the economic substance of the transaction, the loan is considered to be an
investment in a real estate venture for accounting purposes. In accordance with
the provisions of Statement of Position No. 78-9, "Accounting for Investments
in Real Estate Ventures", the Partnership reports its share of income or loss
of Echelon Residential Holdings under the equity method of accounting.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses
in Echelon Residential Holdings is $2,339 and is reflected on the Statement of
Operations as "Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's
loss".
NOTE 6--RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
All operating expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by EFG on behalf
of the Partnership and EFG is reimbursed at its actual cost for such
expenditures. Fees and other costs incurred during each of the three month
periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, which were paid or accrued by the
Partnership to EFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:
2000 1999
------- -------
Equipment management fees................................... $ 3,976 $ 6,830
Administrative charges...................................... 10,014 13,923
Reimbursable operating expenses due to third parties........ 23,214 38,942
------- -------
Total................................................... $37,204 $59,695
======= =======
All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to EFG.
EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow
account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At March 31, 2000, the
Partnership was owed $31,264 by EFG for such funds and the interest thereon.
These funds were remitted to the Partnership in April 2000.
NOTE 7--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
As described more fully in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a
Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly alter the nature
of the Partnership's organization and its future business operations. In
addition, the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report describes certain other pending
litigation that has arisen out of the conduct of the Partnership's business,
principally involving disputes or disagreements with lessees over lease terms
and conditions.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
Certain statements in this quarterly report of American Income Partners V-C
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") that are not historical fact constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to a variety of risks and
uncertainties. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made
herein. These factors include, but are not limited to, the outcome of the Class
Action Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report, the remarketing of the Partnership's
equipment, and the performance of the Partnership's non-equipment assets.
Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1999
The Partnership was organized in 1989 as a direct-participation equipment
leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject
to lease agreements with third parties. Presently, the Partnership is a Nominal
Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit, the outcome of which could significantly
alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and its future business
operations. See Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated
Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as
amended"), the Partnership is scheduled to be dissolved by December 31, 2001.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership recognized lease
revenue of $84,318 compared to $141,341 for the same period in 1999. The
decrease in lease revenue from 1999 to 2000 resulted primarily from lease term
expirations and sales of equipment. In the future, lease revenue will decline
due to lease term expirations and equipment sales.
Prior to the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Partnership's equipment
portfolio included certain assets in which the Partnership held a proportionate
ownership interest. In such cases, the remaining interests were owned by an
affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership ("EFG"). Proportionate equipment ownership enabled the Partnership
to further diversify its equipment portfolio at inception by participating in
the ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk
which could have resulted from a concentration in any single equipment type,
industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate individually reported,
in proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective shares
of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $39,806
compared to $35,613 for the same period in 1999. Interest income is typically
generated from temporary investment of rental receipts and equipment sale
proceeds in short-term instruments. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership utilized
$2,390,000 of available cash for a loan to Echelon Residential Holdings LLC
("Echelon Residential Holdings") (See Note 5 to the financial statements
herein). The amount of future interest income is expected to fluctuate as a
result of changing interest rates and the amount of cash available for
investment, among other factors.
9
There were no equipment sales during either of the three month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. It cannot be determined whether future sales of
equipment will result in a net gain or a net loss to the Partnership, as such
transactions will be dependent upon the condition and type of equipment being
sold and its marketability at the time of sale. In addition, the amount of gain
or loss reported for financial statement purposes is partly a function of the
amount of accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment being sold.
The ultimate realization of residual value for any type of equipment is
dependent upon many factors, including EFG's ability to sell and re-lease
equipment. Changing market conditions, industry trends, technological advances,
and many other events can converge to enhance or detract from asset values at
any given time. EFG attempts to monitor these changes in order to identify
opportunities which may be advantageous to the Partnership and which will
maximize total cash returns for each asset.
The total economic value realized upon final disposition of each asset is
comprised of all primary lease term revenue generated from that asset, together
with its residual value. The latter consists of cash proceeds realized upon the
asset's sale in addition to all other cash receipts obtained from renting the
asset on a re-lease, renewal or month-to-month basis. The Partnership
classifies such residual rental payments as lease revenue. Consequently, the
amount of any future gain or loss reported in the financial statements may not
necessarily be indicative of the total residual value the Partnership achieved
from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense was $6,559 for each of the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999. For financial reporting purposes, to the extent that an asset is
held on primary lease term, the Partnership depreciates the difference between
(i) the cost of the asset and (ii) the estimated residual value of the asset on
a straight-line basis over such term. For purposes of this policy, estimated
residual values represent estimates of equipment values at the date of primary
lease expiration. To the extent that an asset is held beyond its primary lease
term, the Partnership continues to depreciate the remaining net book value of
the asset on a straight-line basis over the asset's remaining economic life.
Management fees were $3,976 and $6,830 for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Management fees are based on 5% of gross lease
revenue generated by operating leases and 2% of gross lease revenue generated
by full payout leases.
Operating expenses were $33,228 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
compared to $52,865 for the same period in 1999. In 1999, operating expenses
included approximately $5,000 related to the refurbishment of an aircraft
engine. Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as printing,
distribution and other remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment
storage or repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with
equipment being remarketed.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses
in Echelon Residential Holdings is $2,339 and is reflected on the Statement of
Operations as "Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's
loss". See further discussion below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources and Discussion of Cash Flows
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity. As an equipment
leasing program, the Partnership's principal operating activities derive from
asset rental transactions. Accordingly, the Partnership's principal source of
cash from operations is generally provided by the collection of periodic rents.
These cash inflows are used to pay management fees and operating costs.
Operating activities generated net cash inflows of $128,140 and $91,672
(excluding the receipt of proceeds of
10
$287,941 related to the deferred aircraft sales, discussed below) for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease
and equipment sale activities will cause a decline in the Partnership's lease
revenue and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses
associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow
from operating activities also will decline as the Partnership experiences a
higher frequency of remarketing events. See additional discussion below
regarding the loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings in
March 2000.
There were no equipment sales during either of the three month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. Future inflows of cash from asset disposals will vary
in timing and amount and will be influenced by many factors including, but not
limited to, the frequency and timing of lease expirations, the type of
equipment being sold, its condition and age, and future market conditions.
During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership received
$86,941, representing a portion of the sale proceeds from its interest in an
aircraft that was sold by the Partnership and certain affiliated investment
programs (collectively, the "Programs"). The remainder of the Partnership's
sale proceeds was received in the second quarter of 1999. The sale was treated
as a deferred sale due to certain contingencies that were not satisfied until
the second quarter of 1999. The proceeds received during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 were recorded as other liabilities prior to the recognition of
the sale. See the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report for further discussion.
In December 1998, the Partnership sold its interest in a second aircraft for
proceeds of $261,000, of which $201,000 was deposited into EFG's customary
escrow account and transferred to the Partnership in January 1999. Due to
certain associated contingencies, the Partnership deferred recognition of the
sale until the second quarter of 1999. In connection with this sale, the
Partnership accrued costs of approximately $5,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 to refurbish an engine damaged while the aircraft was leased to
Transmeridian Airlines ("Transmeridian"). See Note 6 to the financial
statements presented in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report regarding legal
action undertaken by the Programs related to Transmeridian and the damaged
engine. See the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report for further discussion of this
deferred sale.
At March 31, 2000, the Partnership was due aggregate future minimum lease
payments of $412,798 from contractual lease agreements. At the expiration of
the individual lease terms underlying the Partnership's future minimum lease
payments, the Partnership will sell the equipment or enter re-lease or renewal
agreements when considered advantageous by the General Partner and EFG. Such
future remarketing activities will result in the realization of additional cash
inflows in the form of equipment sale proceeds or rents from renewals and re-
leases, the timing and extent of which cannot be predicted with certainty. This
is because the timing and extent of remarketing events often is dependent upon
the needs and interests of the existing lessees. Some lessees may choose to
renew their lease contracts, while others may elect to return the equipment. In
the latter instances, the equipment could be re-leased to another lessee or
sold to a third-party.
In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for the Class Action
Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report, the Partnership is permitted to invest in new
equipment or other business activities, subject to certain limitations. On
March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the "Exchange
Partnerships") collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential Holdings,
a newly-formed real estate development company owned by several investors,
including James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. Mr. Coyne, in his
individual capacity, is the only equity investor in Echelon Residential
Holdings related to EFG.
The Partnership's participation in the loan is $2,390,000. Echelon
Residential Holdings, through a subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the
loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets
11
from Echelon International Corporation, a Florida based real estate company.
The loan has a term of 30 months maturing on September 8, 2002 and bears
interest at the annual rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the
final six months. Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at
maturity. In connection with the transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has
pledged a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to
its membership interests in Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange
Partnerships as collateral.
As discussed in Note 5 in the Partnership's financial statements, the loan
is considered to be an investment in a real estate venture for accounting
purposes. In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Position No. 78-9,
"Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures", the Partnership reports
its share of income or loss in Echelon Residential Holdings under the equity
method of accounting.
There are no formal restrictions under the Restated Agreement, as amended,
that materially limit the Partnership's ability to pay cash distributions,
except that the General Partner may suspend or limit cash distributions to
ensure that the Partnership maintains sufficient working capital reserves to
cover, among other things, operating costs and potential expenditures, such as
refurbishment costs to remarket equipment upon lease expiration. Liquidity is
especially important as the Partnership matures and sells equipment, because
the remaining equipment base consists of fewer revenue-producing assets that
are available to cover prospective cash disbursements. Insufficient liquidity
could inhibit the Partnership's ability to sustain its operations or maximize
the realization of proceeds from remarketing its remaining assets.
Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners had been
declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each
calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is reported under financing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. No cash distributions
were declared for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
Cash distributions paid to the Recognized Owners consist of both a return of
and a return on capital. Cash distributions do not represent and are not
indicative of yield on investment. Actual yield on investment cannot be
determined with any certainty until conclusion of the Partnership and will be
dependent upon the collection of all future contracted rents, the generation of
renewal and/or re-lease rents, and the residual value realized for each asset
at its disposal date.
The Partnership's capital account balances for federal income tax and for
financial reporting purposes are different primarily due to differing
treatments of income and expense items for income tax purposes in comparison to
financial reporting purposes, generally referred to as permanent or timing
differences. See Note 5 to the financial statements presented in the
Partnership's 1999 Annual Report. For instance, selling commissions and
organization and offering costs pertaining to syndication of the Partnership's
limited partnership units are not deductible for federal income tax purposes,
but are recorded as a reduction of partners' capital for financial reporting
purposes. Therefore, such differences are permanent differences between capital
accounts for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Other
differences between the bases of capital accounts for federal income tax and
financial reporting purposes occur due to timing differences. Such items
consist of the cumulative difference between income or loss for tax purposes
and financial statement income or loss and the difference between distributions
(declared vs. paid) for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The
principal component of the cumulative difference between financial statement
income or loss and tax income or loss results from different depreciation
policies for book and tax purposes.
For financial reporting purposes, the General Partner has accumulated a
capital deficit at March 31, 2000. This is the result of aggregate cash
distributions to the General Partner being in excess of its capital
contribution of $1,000 and its allocation of financial statement net income or
loss.

Ultimately, the existence of a capital deficit for the General Partner for
financial reporting purposes is not indicative of any further capital
obligations to the Partnership by the General Partner. The Restated Agreement,
as amended, requires that upon the dissolution of the Partnership, the General
Partner will be required to contribute to the Partnership an amount equal to
any negative balance which may exist in the General Partner's tax capital
account. At December 31, 1999, the General Partner had a positive tax capital
account balance.
The outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the financial
statements presented in the Partnership's 1999 Annual Report will be the
principal factor in determining the future of the Partnership's operations. The
proposed settlement to that lawsuit, if effected, will materially change the
future organizational structure and business interests of the Partnership, as
well as its cash distribution policies. In addition, commencing with the first
quarter of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash
distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit.
Accordingly, future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the
Class Action Lawsuit is adjudicated.
