All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to
either EFG or to a lender. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a
separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the
Partnership. At September 30, 1997, the Partnership was owed $187,430 by EFG
for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the
Partnership in October 1997.
NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
On June 24, 1997, four plaintiffs (the "Plaintiffs") owning limited
partner units or beneficiary interests in eight investment programs sponsored
by EFG filed a lawsuit, as a derivative action, on behalf of the Partnership
and 27 other investment programs (collectively, the "Nominal Defendants") in
the Superior Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the County of
Suffolk against EFG and certain of EFG's affiliates, including the General
Partner of the Partnership and four other wholly-owned subsidiaries of EFG
which are general partner or managing trustee of one or more of the
investment programs, (collectively, the "Managing Defendants"), and certain
other entities and individuals that have control of the Managing Defendants
and the Nominal Defendants (the "Controlling Defendants"). The Plaintiffs
assert claims of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, unjust
enrichment, and equitable relief and seek various remedies, including
compensatory and punitive damages to be determined at trial.
The General Partner and EFG are in the early stages of evaluating the
nature and extent of the claims asserted in this lawsuit and cannot predict
its outcome with any degree of certainty. However, based upon all of the
facts presently being considered by management, the General Partner and EFG
do not believe that any likely outcome will have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership. The General Partner, EFG and their affiliates intend to
vigorously defend against the lawsuit.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
------------------------------------
Certain statements in this quarterly report 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 important 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 ability of EFG to collect all rents due under the attendant
lease agreements and successfully remarket the Partnership's equipment upon
the expiration of such leases.
Three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three and

- -------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
- --------
The Partnership was organized in 1990 as a direct-participation equipment
leasing program to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment
subject to lease agreements with third parties. The Partnership's stated
investment objectives and policies contemplated that the Partnership would
wind-up its operations within approximately seven years of its inception.
Accordingly, the General Partner is pursuing the remarketing of all of the
Partnership's remaining equipment. Currently, the General Partner anticipates
that it will wind-up the operations of the Partnership and make a liquidating
distribution to the Partners, net of any cash reserves which the General
Partner may consider appropriate, possibly by December 31, 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership
recognized lease revenue of $240,513 and $818,458, respectively, compared to
$1,366,710 and $2,767,075 for the same periods in 1996. The decrease in lease
revenue from 1996 to 1997 was expected and resulted principally from renewal
lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. Lease revenue during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 included the receipt of
$872,305 of lease termination rents received in connection with the sale of
the Partnership's interest in two Boeing 727-Advanced aircraft in July 1996
(see discussion below). The Partnership also earns interest income from
temporary investments of rental receipts and equipment sales proceeds in
short-term instruments.
The Partnership's equipment portfolio includes certain assets in which
the Partnership holds a proportionate ownership interest. In such cases, the
remaining interests are owned by an affiliated equipment leasing program
sponsored by EFG. Proportionate equipment ownership enables the Partnership
to further diversify its equipment portfolio by participating in the
ownership of selected assets, thereby reducing the general levels of risk
which could result from a concentration in any single equipment type,
industry or lessee. The Partnership and each affiliate individually report,
in proportion to their respective ownership interests, their respective
shares of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the
equipment.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership
sold equipment having net book values of $146 and $78,990, respectively, to
existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in net gains, for
financial statement purposes, of $2,854 and $56,576, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership
sold equipment having a net book value of $2,478,497 and $2,516,783,
respectively, to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in
net gains for financial statement purposes of $505,872 and $595,116,
respectively. These equipment sales
9
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-C LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
included the sale of the Partnership's interest in two Boeing 727-Advanced
jet aircraft with an original cost and net book value of $7,779,992 and
$1,238,414, respectively, which the Partnership sold to the existing lessee
in July 1996. In connection with this aircraft sale, the Partnership realized
sale proceeds of $2,019,055, which resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement purposes, of $780,641. This equipment was sold prior to the
expiration of the related lease term, resulting in the receipt by the
Partnership of lease termination rents, described above. In addition,
equipment sales in 1996 included the Partnership's interest in a vessel with
an original cost and net book value of $2,782,137 and $1,230,287,
respectively, which the Partnership sold to a third party in September 1996.
In connection with this sale, the Partnership realized net sale proceeds of
$944,213, which resulted in a net loss, for financial statement purposes, of
$286,074. This equipment was sold prior to the expiration of the related
lease term. This sale was effected in connection with a joint remarketing
effort involving 15 individual leasing programs sponsored by EFG, consisting
of the Partnership and 14 affiliates.
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 gain or loss reported in the financial
statements is not necessarily indicative of the total residual value the
Partnership achieved from leasing the equipment.
Depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997 was $124,071 and $400,895, respectively, compared to $232,101 and
$936,326 for the same periods in 1996. 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.
Interest expense was $4,587 or less than 1% of lease revenue for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $12,313 and $42,749, or 1% and
1.5% of lease revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
respectively. The Partnership's notes payable were fully amortized during the
first quarter of 1997.
Management fees were 3.8% and 3.9% of lease revenue for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared to 4.8% and 4.9%
of lease revenue for the same periods in 1996. Management fees during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 included $7,731, resulting from an underaccrual
in 1995. 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.
10
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-C LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
FORM 10-Q
PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Operating expenses consist principally of administrative charges,
professional service costs, such as audit and legal fees, as well as
printing, distribution and remarketing expenses. In certain cases, equipment
storage or repairs and maintenance costs may be incurred in connection with
equipment being remarketed. Significant operating expenses were incurred
during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 due to heavy
maintenance and airframe overhaul costs incurred or accrued in connection
with the Partnership's interests in two Boeing 727 aircraft. Certain of the
costs incurred in the first quarter of 1996 were subsequently reimbursed by
the former lessee of the related aircraft during the third quarter of 1996.
In 1996, the Partnership entered into a new 36-month lease agreement with
Sunworld International Airlines, Inc. to re-lease one of the aircraft. The
second aircraft was re-leased to Transmeridian Airlines beginning April 1997
at a base rent to the Partnership of $4,800 per month for 8 months and $4,200
per month for 10 months. The amount of future operating expenses cannot be
predicted with certainty; however, such expenses are usually higher during
the acquisition and liquidation phases of a partnership. Other fluctuations
typically occur in relation to the volume and timing of remarketing
activities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DISCUSSION OF CASH FLOW
- -----------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership by its nature is a limited life entity which was
established for specific purposes described in the preceding "Overview". 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 satisfy
debt service obligations associated with leveraged leases, and to pay
management fees and operating costs. Operating activities generated net cash
inflows of $583,503 and $2,617,909 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996, respectively. Net cash from operating activities in 1996
included lease termination rents of $872,305 received in connection with the
aircraft sale discussed above. 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 will also continue to decline as the Partnership experiences a
higher frequency of remarketing events.
Ultimately, the Partnership will dispose of all assets under lease. This
will occur principally through sale transactions whereby each asset will be
sold to the existing lessee or to a third party. Generally, this will occur
upon expiration of each asset's primary or renewal/re-lease term. In certain
instances, casualty or early termination events may result in the disposal of
an asset. Such circumstances are infrequent and usually result in the
collection of stipulated cash settlements pursuant to terms and conditions
contained in the underlying lease agreements.
Cash expended for equipment acquisitions and cash realized from asset
disposal transactions are reported under investing activities on the
accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the nine months ended September
30, 1997, the Partnership realized $114,000 in equipment sale proceeds
compared to $2,167,686 for the same period in 1996. In addition, the
Partnership received $21,566 from a lessee prior to 1997 representing an
equipment purchase option. These funds were classified as deferred rental
income on the Statement of Financial Position at December 31, 1996. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership sold the equipment
and such funds were recognized as equipment sale proceeds. At September 30,
1996, cash in the amount of $841,395, representing the net sales proceeds
resulting from the Partnership's sale of its interest in a vessel less an
associated debt repayment, were escrowed and transferred to the Partnership
on October 3, 1996. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1996, the

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Partnership expended $65,700 to replace certain aircraft engines to
facilitate the re-lease of an aircraft to Transmeridian Airlines, discussed
above. There were no equipment acquisitions during the same period in 1997.
The Partnership obtained long-term financing in connection with certain
equipment leases. The repayments of principal related to such indebtedness are
reported as a component of financing activities. The Partnership's notes payable
were fully amortized during the first quarter of 1997.
Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners are
declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each
calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is presented as a
component of financing activities. For the nine months ended September 30,
1997, the Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash
From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of
$330,552. In accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and
Certificate of Limited Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 95%
of these distributions, or $314,024, and the General Partner was allocated
5%, or $16,528. The third quarter 1997 cash distribution was paid on October
14, 1997.
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. Future market conditions, technological changes,
the ability of EFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events
and circumstances, could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and
the collective performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by the
foregoing and will be greatly dependent upon the collection of contractual
rents and the outcome of residual activities. The General Partner anticipates
that cash proceeds resulting from these sources will satisfy the
Partnership's future expense obligations. However, the amount of cash
available for distribution in future periods will fluctuate. Equipment lease
expirations and asset disposals will cause the Partnership's net cash from
operating activities to diminish over time; and equipment sale proceeds will
vary in amount and period of realization. In addition, the Partnership may be
required to incur asset refurbishment or upgrade costs in connection with
future remarketing activities. Accordingly, fluctuations in the level of
future quarterly cash distributions are anticipated.
