NOTE 4 - EQUIPMENT

      The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at March
31, 1998. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the number of
months remaining from March 31, 1998 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, 1998, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included
equipment having a proportionate original cost of $1,332,708, representing
approximately 40% of total equipment cost.

      The summary above includes equipment held for sale or re-lease with an
original cost and net book value of approximately $1,239,000 and $293,000,
respectively, at March 31, 1998. This equipment includes the Partnership's
proportionate interest in a Pratt & Whitney JT9D-7J jet engine, formerly leased
to Southern Air Transport, Inc. The General Partner is currently holding
discussions with a third party related to the sale of the JT9D-7J engine and is
actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all other equipment not on lease. In
addition, the summary above includes equipment being leased on a month-to-month
basis.

                                   (Continued)


     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 March 31, 1998, the Partnership was owed $48,744 by EFG for such funds and
the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in April
1998.

NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      On or about January 15, 1998, certain plaintiffs (the "Plaintiffs") filed
a class and derivative action, captioned Leonard Rosenblum, et al. v. Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership, et al., in the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida (the "Court") on behalf of a proposed class
of investors in 28 equipment leasing programs sponsored by EFG, including the
Partnership (collectively, the "Nominal Defendants"), against EFG and a number
of its affiliates, including the General Partner, as defendants (collectively,
the "Defendants"). Certain of the Plaintiffs, on or about June 24, 1997, had
filed an earlier derivative action, captioned Leonard Rosenblum, et al. v. Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership, et al., in the Superior Court of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts on behalf of the Nominal Defendants against the
Defendants. Both actions are referred to herein collectively as the "Class
Action Lawsuit."

      The Plaintiffs have asserted, among other things, claims against the
Defendants on behalf of the Nominal Defendants for violations of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, common law fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary
duty, and violations of the partnership or trust agreements that govern each of
the Nominal Defendants. The Defendants have denied, and continue to deny, that
any of them have committed or threatened to commit any violations of law or
breached any fiduciary duties to the Plaintiffs or the Nominal Defendants.

      On March 9, 1998, counsel for the Defendants and the Plaintiffs entered
into a Memorandum of Understanding setting forth the terms pursuant to which a
settlement of the Class Action Lawsuit is intended to be achieved and which,
among other things, is expected to reduce the burdens and expenses attendant to
continuing litigation. The Memorandum of Understanding represents a preliminary
step towards a comprehensive Stipulation of Settlement between the parties that
must be presented to and approved by the Court as a condition precedent to
effecting a settlement. The Memorandum of Understanding (i) prescribes a number
of conditions necessary to achieving a settlement, including providing the
partners (or beneficiaries, as applicable) of the Nominal Defendants with the
opportunity to vote on any settlement and (ii) contemplates various changes
that, if effected, would alter the future operations of the Nominal Defendants.
With respect to the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (hereafter
referred to as the "Exchange Partnerships"), the Memorandum of Understanding
provides for the restructuring of their respective business operations into a
single successor company whose securities would be listed and traded on a
national stock exchange. The partners of the Exchange Partnerships would receive
both common stock in the new company and a cash distribution in exchange for
their existing partnership interests. Such a transaction would, among other
things, allow for the consolidation of the Partnership's operating expenses with
other similarly-organized equipment leasing programs. To the extent that the
parties agree upon a Stipulation of Settlement that is approved by the Court,
the complete terms thereof will be communicated to all of the partners (or
beneficiaries) of the Nominal Defendants to enable them to vote thereon.

      There can be no assurance that the parties will agree upon a Stipulation
of Settlement, or that it will be approved by the Court, or that the outcome of
the voting by the partners (or beneficiaries) of the Nominal Defendants,
including the Partnership, will result in a settlement finally being effected or
in the Partnership being included in any such settlement. The General Partner
and its affiliates, in consultation with counsel, concur that there is a
reasonable basis to believe that a Stipulation of Settlement will be agreed upon
by the parties and approved by the Court. In the absence of a Stipulation of
Settlement approved by the Court, the Defendants intend to defend vigorously
against the claims asserted in the Class Action Lawsuit. The General Partner and
its affiliates cannot predict with any degree of certainty the ultimate outcome
of such litigation.

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-D 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 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
outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the accompanying
financial statements and the ability of Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership (formerly American Finance Group), a Massachusetts limited
partnership ("EFG"), to collect all rents due under the attendant lease
agreements and successfully remarket the Partnership's equipment upon the
expiration of such leases.

      The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using
two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable year. EFG's computer
programs were designed and written using four digits to define the applicable
year. As a result, EFG does not anticipate system failure or miscalculations
causing disruptions of operations. Based on recent assessments, EFG determined
that minimal modification of software is required so that its network operating
system will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and
thereafter. EFG believes that with these modifications to the existing operating
system, the Year 2000 Issue will not pose significant operational problems for
its computer systems. EFG will utilize internal resources to upgrade software
for Year 2000 modifications and anticipates completing the Year 2000 project by
December 31, 1998, which is prior to any anticipated impact on its operating
system. The total cost of the Year 2000 project is expected to be insignificant
and have no effect on the results of operations of the Partnership.

Three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1997:

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 value of the Partnership's equipment
portfolio decreases over time due to depreciation resulting from age and usage
of the equipment, as well as technological changes and other market factors. In
addition, the Partnership does not replace equipment as it is sold; therefore,
its aggregate investment value in equipment declines from asset disposals
occurring in the normal course. The Partnership's stated investment objectives
and policies contemplated that the Partnership would wind-up its operations
within approximately seven years of its inception. Presently, the Partnership is
a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit. The outcome of the Class Action
Lawsuit could alter the nature of the Partnership's organization and its future
business operations. See Note 6 to the accompanying financial statements.

Results of Operations

   For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership recognized lease
revenue of $93,500 compared to $183,782 for the same period in 1997. The
decrease in lease revenue from 1997 to 1998 was expected and resulted
principally from renewal lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. 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 months ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership sold equipment
that had been fully depreciated to existing lessees and third parties. These
sales resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $8,600
compared to a net gain of $193,175 on equipment having a net book value of
$702,817 for the same period in 1997

      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 was $46,910 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
compared to $76,373 for the same period in 1997. 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 equipment 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 $7,386 or 4% of lease revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. There was no interest expense during the same period in
1998 as the Partnership's notes payable were fully amortized during the year
ending December 31, 1997.

      Management fees were approximately 4.3% and 4.7% of lease revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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 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. Operating expenses were $32,221 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 compared to $24,401 for the same period in 1997. The increase in operating
expenses from 1997 to 1998 resulted primarily from an increase in administrative
charges. 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 Flows

      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 pay management fees and operating
costs. In addition, in 1997 such cash inflows were used to satisfy debt service
obligations associated with leveraged leases. Operating activities generated net
cash inflows of $73,960 and $158,630 during the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, 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 will also 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 realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the three months
ended March 31, 1998, the Partnership realized $8,600 in equipment sale proceeds
compared to $701,900 for the same period in 1997. In addition, the Partnership
received $194,092 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 three months
ended March 31, 1997, the Partnership sold the equipment and recognized these
funds as sale proceeds. 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.

      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 year ended December 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1998, the
Partnership declared total cash distributions of Distributable Cash From
Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales and Refinancings of $56,869. In
accordance with the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of Limited
Partnership, the Recognized Owners were allocated 95% of these distributions, or
$54,026, and the General Partner was allocated 5%, or $2,843. The first quarter
1998 cash distribution was paid on April 14, 1998.

      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, as well as the outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note
6 to the accompanying financial statements. The General Partner anticipates that
cash proceeds resulting from the collection of contractual rents and the outcome
of residual activities 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.
