MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year ended December 31, 1998 compared to the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1997
compared to the year ended December 31, 1996
Certain statements in this annual 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, the collection of all rents due under the Partnership's
lease agreements and the remarketing of the Partnership's equipment.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 Issue generally refers to the capacity of computer
programming logic to correctly identify the calendar year. Many companies
utilize computer programs or hardware with date sensitive software or embedded
chips that could interpret dates ending in "00" as the year 1900 rather than the
year 2000. In certain cases, such errors could result in system failures or
miscalculations that disrupt the operations of the affected businesses. The
Partnership uses information systems provided by EFG and has no information
systems of its own. EFG has adopted a plan to address the Year 2000 Issue that
consists of four phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation
and has elected to utilize principally internal resources to perform all phases.
EFG completed substantially all of its Year 2000 project by December 31, 1998 at
an aggregate cost of less than $50,000 and at a di minimus cost to the
Partnership. Remaining items are expected to be minor and be completed by March
31, 1999. All costs incurred in connection with EFG's Year 2000 project have
been expensed as incurred.
EFG's primary information software was coded by IBM at the point of
original design to use a four-digit field to identify calendar year. All of the
Partnership's lease billings, cash receipts and equipment remarketing processes
are performed using this proprietary software. In addition, EFG has gathered
information about the Year 2000 readiness of significant vendors and third-party
servicers and continues to monitor developments in this area. All of EFG's
peripheral computer technologies, such as its network operating system and
third-party software applications, including payroll, depreciation processing,
and electronic banking, have been evaluated for potential programming changes
and have required only minor modifications to function properly with respect to
dates in the year 2000 and thereafter. EFG understands that each of its and the
Partnership's significant vendors and third-party servicers are in the process,
or have completed the process, of making their systems Year 2000 compliant.
Substantially all parties queried have indicated that their systems would be
Year 2000 compliant by the end of 1998.
Presently, EFG is not aware of any outside customer with a Year 2000 Issue
that would have a material effect on the Partnership's results of operations,
liquidity, or financial position. The Partnership's equipment leases were
structured as triple net leases, meaning that the lessees are responsible for,
among other things, (i) maintaining and servicing all equipment during the lease
term, (ii) ensuring that all equipment functions properly and is returned in
good condition, normal wear and tear excepted, and (iii) insuring the assets
against casualty and other events of loss. Non-compliance with lease terms on
the part of a lessee, including failure to address Year 2000 Issues, could
result in lost revenues and impairment of residual values of the Partnership's
equipment assets under a worst-case scenario.
EFG believes that its Year 2000 compliance plan will be effective in
resolving all material Year 2000 risks in a timely manner and that the Year 2000
Issue will not pose significant operational problems with respect to its
computer systems or result in a system failure or disruption of its or the
Partnership's business operations. However, EFG has no means of ensuring that
all customers, vendors and third-party servicers will conform ultimately to Year
2000 standards. The effect of this risk to the Partnership is not determinable.
3
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 of business. 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 accompanying financial statements.
Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as amended, the Partnership is scheduled to
be dissolved by December 31, 2001.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership recognized lease
revenue of $321,107 compared to $653,111 and $1,816,273 for the years ended
December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in lease revenue from
1996 to 1998 resulted principally from lease term expirations and the sale of
equipment. Lease revenue in 1996 includes the receipt of $516,712 of lease
termination rents in connection with the sale of the Partnership's interest in
two Boeing 727-251 Advanced aircraft in July 1996 (see 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 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 report, in proportion
to their respective ownership interests, their respective shares of assets,
liabilities, revenues, and expenses associated with the equipment.
In 1998, the Partnership sold equipment having a net book value of $272,578
to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for
financial statement purposes, of $672,899 compared to a net gain $389,295 in
1997 on equipment having a net book value of $709,387 and a net gain of $703,591
in 1996 on equipment having a net book value of $858,150. The 1996 equipment
sales included the sale of the Partnership's interest in two Boeing 727-251
Advanced aircraft with an original cost and net book value of $4,536,732 and
$740,021, respectively. In connection with this sale, the Partnership realized
sale proceeds of $1,195,994 which resulted in a net gain, for financial
statement purposes, of $455,973. 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.
During July 1996, the Partnership transferred its ownership interest in
certain trailers to a third party for cash consideration of $60,170. The
trailers had a net book value of $22,808 at the time of the transfer, resulting
in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $37,362. In September 1996,
the Partnership replaced these trailers with comparable trailers and leased them
to a new lessee. The transaction was structured as a like-kind exchange for
income tax reporting purposes. The net carrying value of the new trailers,
$357,884, was net of $36,574, representing the proportionate amount of gain
deferred on the original trailers. The Partnership funded this transaction with
$58,901 of the cash consideration and long-term financing of $335,557. The
unused cash consideration of $1,269 was recognized as proceeds from equipment
sales. The associated deferred gain of $788 was recognized as Gain on Sale of
Equipment on the Statement of Operations in 1996.
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
4
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 $115,523, $261,657 and $753,448 for the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 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 $18,835 or 2.9% of lease revenue in 1997 and $15,362
or less than 1% of lease revenue in 1996. Interest expense in both 1997 and 1996
resulted from financing obtained from a third-party lender in connection with
the like-kind exchange transaction which occurred during the third quarter of
1996, described above. The Partnership's notes payable were fully amortized
during the year ending December 31, 1997.
Management fees were 4.2%, 4.6% and 4.9% of lease revenue during the years
ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Management fees during the
year ended December 31, 1996 included $4,617, 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.
Operating expenses were $451,793, $142,702 and $102,919 for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. During the year ended December
31, 1998, the Partnership incurred or accrued approximately $296,700 for certain
legal and administrative expenses related to the Class Action Lawsuit described
in Note 6 to the financial statements. The increase in operating expenses from
1996 to 1997 resulted primarily from increases in administrative charges and
professional service fees. Operating expenses consist principally of
administrative charges, professional service costs, such as audit and other
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.
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 and prior
to 1998, also were used to satisfy debt service obligations associated with
leveraged leases. Operating activities generated net cash inflows of $270,559,
$611,077 and $1,772,557 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Future renewal,
re-lease and equipment sale activities will continue to 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.
Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing
activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During 1998, the
Partnership realized $945,477 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $904,590
and $1,563,010 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. 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.
5
At December 31, 1998, the Partnership had aggregate future minimum lease
payments of $237,600 from contractual lease agreements (see Note 2 to the
financial statements). At the expiration of the individual primary and renewal
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.
Accordingly, as the terms of the currently existing contractual lease agreements
expire, the cash flows of the Partnership will become less predictable. In
addition, the Partnership will have cash needs to pay management fees and
operating expenses.
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.
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.
In addition, the Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action
Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the accompanying financial statements. A
preliminary settlement agreement will allow the Partnership to invest in new
equipment or other activities, subject to certain limitations, effective March
22, 1999. Until the Class Action Lawsuit is adjudicated, the General Partner
does not expect that the level of future quarterly cash distributions paid by
the Partnership will be increased above amounts paid in the fourth quarter of
1998. In addition, the proposed settlement, if effected, will materially change
the future organizational structure and business interests of the Partnership,
as well as its cash distribution policies. See Note 6 to the accompanying
financial statements.
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 year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership
declared total cash distributions of $227,476. In accordance with the Restated
Agreement, as amended, the Recognized Owners were allocated 95% of these
distributions, or $216,102, and the General Partner was allocated 5%, or
$11,374. The fourth quarter 1998 cash distribution was paid on January 15, 1999.
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). 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
6
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 December 31, 1998. 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 Amended and Restated
Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership 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, 1998, the
General Partner had a positive tax capital account balance.
The future liquidity of the Partnership will be influenced by, among other
factors, prospective market conditions, technological changes, the ability of
EFG to manage and remarket the assets, and many other events and circumstances,
that could enhance or detract from individual asset yields and the collective
performance of the Partnership's equipment portfolio. However, the outcome of
the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 6 to the accompanying financial
statements will be the principal factor in determining the future of the
Partnership's operations.

AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
organized as a limited partnership under the Massachusetts Uniform Limited
Partnership Act (the "Uniform Act") on May 21, 1990 for the purpose of acquiring
and leasing to third parties a diversified portfolio of capital equipment.
Partners' capital initially consisted of contributions of $1,000 from the
General Partner (AFG Leasing IV Incorporated) and $100 from the Initial Limited
Partner (AFG Assignor Corporation). On September 27, 1990, the Partnership
issued 480,227 units, representing assignments of limited partnership interests
(the "Units"), to 806 investors. Unitholders and Limited Partners (other than
the Initial Limited Partner) are collectively referred to as Recognized Owners.
The Partnership has one General Partner, AFG Leasing IV Incorporated, a
Massachusetts corporation and an affiliate of Equis Financial Group Limited
Partnership (formerly known as American Finance Group) a Massachusetts limited
partnership ("EFG"). The common stock of the General Partner is owned by AF/AIP
Programs Limited Partnership, of which AFG and a wholly-owned subsidiary are the
99% limited partners and AFG Programs, Inc., which is wholly-owned by Geoffrey
A. MacDonald, is the 1% General Partner. The General Partner is not required to
make any other capital contributions except as may be required under the Uniform
Act and Section 6.1(b) of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Certificate of
Limited Partnership (the "Restated Agreement, as amended").
Significant operations commenced September 28, 1990 when the Partnership
made its initial equipment purchase. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as
amended, Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or
Refinancings will be allocated 95% to the Recognized Owners and 5% to the
General Partner.
Under the terms of a management agreement between the Partnership and
AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership and the terms of an identical management
agreement between AF/AIP Programs Limited Partnership and EFG (collectively, the
"Management Agreement"), management services are provided by EFG to the
Partnership at fees which the General Partner believes to be competitive for
similar services (see Note 4).
EFG is a Massachusetts limited partnership formerly known as American
Finance Group ("AFG"). AFG was established in 1988 as a Massachusetts general
partnership and succeeded American Finance Group, Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation organized in 1980. EFG and its subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Company") are engaged in various aspects of the equipment leasing business,
including EFG's role as Manager or Advisor to the Partnership and several other
direct-participation equipment leasing programs sponsored or co-sponsored by EFG
(the "Other Investment Programs"). The Company arranges to broker or originate
equipment leases, acts as remarketing agent and asset manager, and provides
leasing support services, such as billing, collecting, and asset tracking.
The general partner of EFG, with a 1% controlling interest, is Equis
Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation owned and controlled entirely by Gary
D. Engle, its President, Chief Executive Officer and sole Director. Equis
Corporation also owns a controlling 1% general partner interest in EFG's 99%
limited partner, GDE Acquisition Limited Partnership ("GDE LP"). Equis
Corporation and GDE LP were established in December 1994 by Mr. Engle for the
sole purpose of acquiring the business of AFG.
In January 1996, the Company sold certain assets of AFG relating primarily
to the business of originating new leases, and the name "American Finance
Group", and its acronym, to a third party. AFG changed its name to Equis
Financial Group Limited Partnership after the sale was concluded. Pursuant to
terms of the sale agreements, EFG specifically reserved the rights to continue
using the name American Finance Group and its acronym in connection with the
Partnership and the Other Investment Programs and to continue managing all
assets owned by the Partnership and the Other Investment Programs.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
The Partnership considers liquid investment instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the
Partnership invests excess cash with large institutional banks in federal agency
discount notes and reverse repurchase agreements with overnight maturities.
Under the terms of the agreements, title to the underlying securities passes to
the Partnership. The securities underlying the agreements are book entry
securities. At December 31, 1998, the Partnership had $3,650,250 invested in
federal agency discount notes and in reverse repurchase agreements secured by
U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S. Government securities.
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. Future minimum rents of $237,600
are due as follows:
For the year ending December 31, 1999 $ 103,808
2000 87,728
2001 46,064
----------
Total $ 237,600
----------
----------
Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of
lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 is as
follows:
1998 1997 1996

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
EQUIPMENT ON LEASE
All equipment was acquired from EFG, one of its Affiliates or from
third-party sellers. Equipment Cost means the actual cost paid by the
Partnership to acquire the equipment, including acquisition fees. Where
equipment was acquired from EFG or an Affiliate, Equipment Cost reflects the
actual price paid for the equipment by EFG or the Affiliate plus all actual
costs incurred by EFG or the Affiliate while carrying the equipment, including
all liens
14
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
and encumbrances, less the amount of all primary term rents earned by EFG or the
Affiliate prior to selling the equipment. Where the seller of the equipment was
a third party, Equipment Cost reflects the seller's invoice price.
DEPRECIATION
The Partnership's depreciation policy is intended to allocate the cost of
equipment over the period during which it produces economic benefit. The
principal period of economic benefit is considered to correspond to each asset's
primary lease term, which term generally represents the period of greatest
revenue potential for each asset. Accordingly, 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.
Periodically, the General Partner evaluates the net carrying value of equipment
to determine whether it exceeds estimated net realizable value. Adjustments to
reduce the net carrying value of equipment are recorded in those instances where
estimated net realizable value is considered to be less than net carrying value.
To the extent that such adjustments have been recorded, they are reflected
separately on the accompanying Statement of Operations as Write-Down of
Equipment.
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.
ACCRUED LIABILITIES - AFFILIATE
Unpaid operating expenses paid by EFG on behalf of the Partnership and
accrued but unpaid administrative charges and management fees are reported as
Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate (see Note 4).
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
For financial statement purposes, net income or loss is allocated to each
Partner according to their respective ownership percentages (95% to the
Recognized Owners and 5% to the General Partner). See Note 5 concerning
allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes.
NET INCOME AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS PER UNIT
Net income and cash distributions per Unit are based on 480,227 Units
outstanding during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998
and computed after allocation of the General Partner's 5% share of net income
and cash distributions.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
No provision or benefit from income taxes is included in the accompanying
financial statements. The Partners are responsible for reporting their
proportionate shares of the Partnership's taxable income or loss and other tax
attributes on their tax returns.

NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT
The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at
December 31, 1998. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the
number of months remaining from December 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.

Total equipment cost 1,877,294
Accumulated depreciation (1,670,057)
-----------------
Equipment, net of accumulated depreciation $ 207,237
-----------------
-----------------
During July 1996, the Partnership transferred its ownership interest in
certain trailers to a third party for cash consideration of $60,170. The
trailers had a net book value of $22,808 at the time of the transfer, which
resulted in a net gain, for financial statement purposes, of $37,362. In
September 1996, the Partnership replaced these trailers with comparable trailers
and leased such to a new lessee. The transaction was structured as a like-kind
exchange for income tax reporting purposes. The net carrying value of the new
trailers, $357,884, was net of $36,574, representing the proportionate amount of
gain deferred on the original trailers. The Partnership funded this transaction
with $58,901 of the cash consideration and long-term financing of $335,557. The
unused cash consideration of $1,269 was recognized as proceeds from equipment
sales. The associated deferred gain of $788 was recognized as Gain on Sale of
Equipment in 1996.
In certain cases, the cost of the Partnership's equipment represents a
proportionate ownership interest. The remaining interests are owned by EFG or an
affiliated equipment leasing program sponsored by EFG. 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. 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. At December 31, 1998, the
Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment having a proportionate
original cost of $171,719, representing approximately 9% of total equipment
cost.
16
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
Generally, the costs associated with maintaining, insuring and operating the
Partnership's equipment are incurred by the respective lessees pursuant to terms
specified in their individual lease agreements with the Partnership .As
equipment is sold to third parties, or otherwise disposed of, the Partnership
recognizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the net book value of
the equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds realized upon
sale or disposition. The ultimate realization of estimated residual value in the
equipment is dependent upon, among other things, EFG's ability to maximize
proceeds from selling or re-leasing the equipment upon the expiration of the
primary lease terms. The summary above includes fully depreciated equipment held
for sale or re-lease with an original cost of approximately $17,700 at December
31, 1998. The General Partner is actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all
equipment not on lease. In addition, the summary above also includes equipment
being leased on a month-to-month basis.
NOTE 4 - 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 the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997 and 1996, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to EFG or its
Affiliates, are as follows:
1998 1997 1996
------------------ ------------------ ------------------
Equipment management fees $ 13,512 $ 30,066 $ 89,296
Administrative charges 61,764 58,303 37,037
Reimbursable operating expenses
due to third parties 390,029 84,399 65,882
------------------ ------------------ ------------------
Total $ 465,305 $ 172,768 $ 192,215
------------------ ------------------ ------------------
------------------ ------------------ ------------------
As provided under the terms of the Management Agreement, EFG is compensated
for its services to the Partnership. Such services include acquisition and
management of equipment. For acquisition services, EFG is compensated by an
amount equal to 2.23% of Equipment Base Price paid by the Partnership. For
management services, EFG is compensated by an amount equal to 5% of gross
operating lease rental revenue and 2% of gross full payout lease rental revenue
received by the Partnership. Both acquisition and management fees are subject to
certain limitations defined in the Management Agreement.
Administrative charges represent amounts owed to EFG, pursuant to Section
10.4 of the Restated Agreement, as amended, for persons employed by EFG who are
engaged in providing administrative services to the Partnership. Reimbursable
operating expenses due to third parties represent costs paid by EFG on behalf of
the Partnership which are reimbursed to EFG at actual cost.
All equipment was acquired from EFG, one of its affiliates, including other
equipment leasing programs sponsored by EFG, or from third-party sellers. The
Partnership's Purchase Price was determined by the method described in Note 2
Equipment on Lease.
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 December 31, 1998, the Partnership was owed $25,840 by EFG for such funds and
the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in January
1999.

controlled by Gary D. Engle. In addition, the limited partnership interests
of ONC are owned by Semele Group, Inc. ("Semele"). Gary D. Engle is Chairman
and CEO of Semele.
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The Partnership is not a taxable entity for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accounts of
the Partnership.
For financial statement purposes, the Partnership allocates net income or
loss to each class of partner according to their respective ownership
percentages (95% to the Recognized Owners and 5% to the General Partner). This
convention differs from the income or loss allocation requirements for income
tax and Dissolution Event purposes as delineated in the Restated Agreement, as
amended. For income tax purposes, the Partnership allocates net income or net
loss in accordance with the provisions of such agreement. The Restated
Agreement, as amended, requires that upon 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, 1998, the General Partner had a positive tax
capital account balance.
The following is a reconciliation between net income reported for financial
statement and federal income tax reporting purposes for the years ended December
31, 1998, 1997 and 1996:
1998 1997 1996

NOTE 6 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In January 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 July 16, 1998, counsel for the Defendants and the Plaintiffs executed a
Stipulation of Settlement setting forth 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 Stipulation of Settlement was based upon and superseded a
Memorandum of Understanding between the parties dated March 9, 1998 which
outlined the terms of a possible settlement. The Stipulation of Settlement was
filed with the Court on July 23, 1998 and was preliminarily approved by the
Court on August 20, 1998 when the Court issued its "Order Preliminarily
Approving Settlement, Conditionally Certifying Settlement Class and Providing
for Notice of, and Hearing on, the Proposed Settlement" (the "August 20 Order").
Prior to issuing a final order, the
19
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
Court will hold a fairness hearing that will be open to all interested parties
and permit any party to object to the settlement. The investors of the
Partnership and all other plaintiff class members in the Class Action Lawsuit
will receive a Notice of Settlement and other information pertinent to the
settlement of their claims that will be mailed to them in advance of the
fairness hearing. Since first executing the Stipulation of Settlement, the Court
has scheduled two fairness hearings, the first on December 11, 1998 and the
second on March 19, 1999, each of which was postponed because of delays in
finalizing certain information materials that are subject to regulatory review
prior to being distributed to investors.
On March 15, 1999, counsel for the Plaintiffs and the Defendants entered
into an amended stipulation of settlement (the "Amended Stipulation") which was
filed with the Court on March 15, 1999. The Amended Stipulation was
preliminarily approved by the Court by its "Modified Order Preliminarily
Approving Settlement, Conditionally Certifying Settlement Class and Providing
For Notice of, and Hearing On, the Proposed Settlement" dated March 22, 1999
(the "March 22 Order"). The Amended Stipulation, among other things, divides the
Class Action Lawsuit into two separate sub-classes that can be settled
individually. This revision is expected to expedite the settlement of one
sub-class by the middle of 1999. However, the second sub-class, involving the
Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (collectively referred to as the
"Exchange Partnerships"), is expected to remain pending for a longer period due,
in part, to the complexity of the proposed settlement pertaining to this class.
Specifically, the settlement of the second sub-class is premised on the
consolidation of the Exchange Partnerships' net assets (the "Consolidation"),
subject to certain conditions, into a single successor company ("Newco"). Under
the proposed Consolidation, the partners of the Exchange Partnerships would
receive both common stock in Newco and a cash distribution; and thereupon the
Exchange Partnerships would be dissolved. In addition, EFG would contribute
certain management contracts, operations personnel, and business opportunities
to Newco and cancel its current management contracts with all of the Exchange
Partnerships. Newco would operate as a finance company specializing in the
acquisition, financing and servicing of equipment leases for its own account and
for the account of others on a contract basis. Newco also would use its best
efforts to list its shares on the Nasdaq National Market or another national
exchange or market as soon after the Consolidation as Newco deems that market
conditions and its business operations are suitable for listing its shares and
Newco has satisfied all necessary regulatory and listing requirements. The
potential benefits and risks of the Consolidation will be presented in a
Solicitation Statement that will be mailed to all of the partners of the
Exchange Partnerships as soon as the associated regulatory review process is
completed and at least 60 days prior to the fairness hearing. A preliminary
Solicitation Statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
August 24, 1998 and remains pending. Class members will be notified of the
actual fairness hearing date when it is confirmed.
One of the principal objectives of the Consolidation is to create a company
that would have the potential to generate more value for the benefit of existing
limited partners than other alternatives, including continuing the Partnership's
customary business operations until all of its assets are disposed in the
ordinary course of business. To facilitate the realization of this objective,
the Amended Stipulation provides, among other things, that commencing March 22,
1999, the Exchange Partnerships may collectively invest up to 40% of the total
aggregate net asset values of all of the Exchange Partnerships in any
investment, including additional equipment and other business activities that
the general partners of the Exchange Partnerships and EFG reasonably believe to
be consistent with the anticipated business interests and objectives of Newco,
subject to certain limitations, including that the Exchange Partnerships retain
sufficient cash balances to pay their respective shares of the cash distribution
referenced above in connection with the proposed Consolidation.
In the absence of the Court's authorization to enter into such activities,
the Partnership's Restated Agreement, as amended, would not permit new
investment activities without the approval of limited partners owning a majority
of the Partnership's outstanding Units. Accordingly, to the extent that the
Partnership invests in new equipment, the Manager (being EFG) will (i) defer,
until the earlier of the effective date of the Consolidation or December 31,
20
AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
Notes to the Financial Statements
(Continued)
1999, any acquisition fees resulting therefrom and (ii) limit its management
fees on all such assets to 2% of rental income. In the event that the
Consolidation is consummated, all such acquisition and management fees will be
paid to Newco. To the extent that the Partnership invests in other business
activities not consisting of equipment acquisitions, the Manager will forego any
acquisition fees and management fees related to such investments. In the event
that the Partnership has acquired new investments, but the Partnership does not
participate in the Consolidation, Newco will acquire such new investments for an
amount equal to the Partnership's net equity investment plus an annualized
return thereon of 7.5%. Finally, in the event that the Partnership has acquired
new investments and the Consolidation is not effected, the General Partner will
use its best efforts to divest all such new investments in an orderly and timely
fashion and the Manager will cancel or return to the Partnership any acquisition
or management fees resulting from such new investments.
The Amended Stipulation and previous Stipulation of Settlement prescribe
certain conditions necessary to effecting final settlements, including providing
the partners of the Exchange Partnerships with the opportunity to object to the
participation of their partnership in the Consolidation. Assuming the proposed
settlement is effected according to present terms, the Partnership's share of
legal fees and expenses related to the Class Action Lawsuit is estimated to be
approximately $81,700, all of which was accrued and expensed by the Partnership
in 1998. In addition, the Partnership's share of fees and expenses related to
the proposed Consolidation is estimated to be approximately $215,000, all of
which was accrued and expensed by the Partnership in 1998.
While the Court's August 20 Order enjoined certain class members, including
all of the partners of the Partnership, from transferring, selling, assigning,
giving, pledging, hypothecating, or otherwise disposing of any Units pending the
Court's final determination of whether the settlement should be approved, the
March 22 Order permits the partners to transfer Units to family members or as a
result of the divorce, disability or death of the partner. No other transfers
are permitted pending the Court's final determination of whether the settlement
should be approved. The provision of the August 20 Order which enjoined the
General Partners of the Exchange Partnerships from, among other things,
recording any transfers not in accordance with the Court's order remains
effective.
There can be no assurance that settlement of either sub-class of the Class
Action Lawsuit will receive final Court approval and be effected. There also can
be no assurance that all or any of the Exchange Partnerships will participate in
the Consolidation because if limited partners owning more than one-third of the
outstanding Units of a partnership object to the Consolidation, then that
partnership will be excluded from the Consolidation. The General Partner and its
affiliates, in consultation with counsel, concur that there is a reasonable
basis to believe that final settlements of each sub-class will be achieved.
However, in the absence of final settlements approved by the Court, the
Defendants intend to defend vigorously against the claims asserted in the Class
Action Lawsuit. Neither the General Partner nor its affiliates can predict with
any degree of certainty the cost of continuing litigation to the Partnership or
the ultimate outcome.

AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
SCHEDULE OF EXCESS (DEFICIENCY) OF TOTAL CASH GENERATED TO COST
OF EQUIPMENT DISPOSED
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
The Partnership classifies all rents from leasing equipment as lease
revenue. Upon expiration of the primary lease terms, equipment may be sold,
rented on a month-to-month basis or re-leased for a defined period under a new
or extended lease agreement. The proceeds generated from selling or re-leasing
the equipment, in addition to any month-to-month revenue, represent the total
residual value realized for each item of equipment. Therefore, the financial
statement gain or loss, which reflects the difference between the net book value
of the equipment at the time of sale or disposition and the proceeds realized
upon sale or disposition, may not reflect the aggregate residual proceeds
realized by the Partnership for such equipment.
The following is a summary of cash excess associated with equipment
