PART I

Item 1. Business

a. General Development of Business

Diversified Historic Investors V ("Registrant") is a
limited partnership formed in 1987 under Pennsylvania law. As of
December 31, 2002, Registrant had outstanding 11,142 units of limited
partnership interest (the "Units").

Registrant is currently in its operating stage. It
originally owned three properties or interests therein. In October
1996, its interest in one property was sold and effective as of
January 1999, its interest in another was foreclosed. It currently
owns one property. See Item 2. Properties, for a description thereof.
For a discussion of the operations of the Registrant, See Part II.
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

b. Financial Information about Industry Segments

The Registrant operates in one industry segment.

c. Narrative Description of the Business

Registrant is in the business of operating, holding,
selling, exchanging and otherwise dealing in and with real properties
containing improvements which are "Certified Historic Structures," as
such term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), for
use as apartments, offices, hotels and commercial spaces, or any
combination thereof, or low income housing eligible for the investment
tax credit provided by Section 42 of the Code, and such other uses as
the Registrant's general partner may deem appropriate.

Since the Registrant's inception, all the properties
acquired either by the Registrant, or the subsidiary partnership in
which it has an interest, have been rehabilitated and certified as
historic structures and have received the related investment tax
credit. The Registrant's remaining property is being held for rental
operations. At this time it is anticipated that this property will
continue to be held for that purpose. At such time as real property
values in the area in which the property is located begin to increase,
the Registrant will re-evaluate its investment strategy regarding the
property.

On October 1, 2002, the mortgage note secured by the
Lofts at Red Hill matured and was declared in default by the lender.

On September 10, 2003, the Lofts at Red Hill was sold.
The net proceeds of the sale were used to pay the mortgage note
secured by the property and accrued expenses of the Registrant. No
funds remained for distribution to unit holders. The Registrant
liquidated thereafter.


As of December 31, 2002, Registrant owned one property,
located in Pennsylvania. The property contains 21 apartment units.
As of December 31, 2002, 16 of the apartment units were under lease at
monthly rental rates ranging from $485 to $695. For a further
discussion of the property, see Item 2, Properties.

The Registrant is affected by and subject to the
general competitive conditions of the residential real estate
industry. As a result of the overbuilding that occurred in the
1980's, the competition for residential tenants in the local market
where the Registrant's residential property is located is generally
strong. As a result, the Registrant is forced to keep its rent levels
competitively low in order to maintain moderate to high occupancy
levels. The residential property currently owned by the Registrant is
located in a suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in which there are
several similar historically certified rehabilitated buildings. The
Registrant's main competitors in this market are organizations that
own similar residential buildings. In this area, the apartment market
remains stable and new construction remains virtually nonexistent
although the availability of favorable home financing has placed
pressure on the rental tenant base.

Registrant has no employees. Registrant's activities
are overseen by Brandywine Construction & Management, Inc. ("BCMI"), a
real estate management firm.

d. Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic
Operations and Export Sales.

See Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data.

Item 2. Properties

As of the date hereof, Registrant owned one property.
A summary description of that property is given below.

The Lofts at Red Hill is a historically certified, four-
story former factory located at 350 Main Street, Red Hill Borough,
Pennsylvania. In December 1987, the Registrant acquired the building
and is the 100% equity owner of this property. The property was
rehabilitated as a 21-unit rental residential complex. The
acquisition and rehabilitation price of this property was
approximately $1,350,000 ($81 per square foot) ("sf"). In September
1997, a mortgage was placed on the property in the amount of $400,000
(principal balance of $482,328 at December 31, 2002). The proceeds
from the mortgage were utilized to satisfy certain outstanding
liabilities of the Registrant. The note matured on October 1, 2002, at
which time it was declared in default by the lender.

The property is managed by BCMI. As of December 31,
2002, 16 apartment units were under lease (76%) at monthly rental
rates ranging from $485 to $695. All leases are renewable, one-year
leases. The occupancy as of year end for the previous four years was
85% for 2001, 85% for 2000, 86% for 1999, and 76% for 1998. The
monthly rental range has been approximately the same since 1998. For
federal income tax purposes, the land and the building have a basis of
$1,533,322, and the building is depreciated using the straight-line
method with a useful life of 27.5 years. The annual real estate taxes
are $15,861 based on an assessed value of $803,520 taxed at a rate of
$20.11 per $1,000 of assessed value. No one tenant occupies ten
percent or more of the building. It is the opinion of the management
of the Registrant that the property is adequately covered by
insurance.

On September 10, 2003, the Lofts at Red Hill was sold.
The net proceeds of the sale were used to pay the mortgage note
secured by the property and accrued expenses of the Registrant.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

To the best of its knowledge, as of December 31, 2002,
Registrant was not a party to, nor was its property the subject of,
any pending material legal proceedings.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted during the fiscal years covered by
this report to a vote of security holders.



PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related
Stockholder Matters

a. There is no established public trading market for the
Units. Registrant does not anticipate any such market will develop.
Trading in the Units occurs solely through private transactions. The
Registrant is not aware of the prices at which trades occur.
Registrant's records indicate that 84 units were sold or exchanged of
record in 2002.

b. As of December 31, 2002, there were 1,354 record
holders of Units.

c. Registrant did not declare any cash dividends in 2002
or 2001.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

The following selected financial data are for the five years
ended December 31, 2002. The data should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. This
data is not covered by the independent auditors' report.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

(1) Liquidity

As of December 31, 2002, Registrant had cash of $4,623.
Such funds are expected to be used to pay liabilities and general and
administrative expenses of Registrant, and to fund cash deficits of
the property. Cash generated from operations is used primarily to
fund operating expenses and debt service. If cash flow proves to be
insufficient, the Registrant will attempt to negotiate loan
modifications with the lender in order to remain current on all
obligations. The Registrant is not aware of any additional sources of
liquidity.

As of December 31, 2002, Registrant had restricted cash
of $124,401 consisting primarily of funds held as security deposits
and escrows for real estate taxes. As a consequence of these
restrictions as to use, Registrant does not deem these funds to be a
source of liquidity.

On October 1, 2002, the mortgage note secured by the
Lofts at Red Hill matured and was declared in default by the lender.

On September 10, 2003, the Lofts at Red Hill was sold.
The net proceeds of the sale were used to pay the mortgage note
secured by the property and accrued expenses of the Registrant. No
funds remained for distribution to unit holders. The Registrant
liquidated thereafter.

(2) Capital Resources

Any capital expenditures needed are generally
replacement items and are funded out of cash from operations or
replacement reserves, if any. The Registrant is not aware of any
factors which would cause historical capital expenditure levels not to
be indicative of capital requirements in the future and accordingly,
does not believe that it will have to commit material resources to
capital investment for the foreseeable future.

(3) Results of Operations

During 2002, Registrant incurred a net loss of $132,943
($11.81 per limited partnership unit) compared to a loss of $135,310
($12.02 per limited partnership unit) in 2001, and a net loss of
$132,797 ($11.80 per limited partnership unit) in 2000.

Rental income was $127,463 in 2002, $133,688 in 2001,
and $133,925 in 2000. The increase in rental income from 2001 to 2002
is due to a decrease in average occupancy (86% to 82%). Rental income
has remained approximately the same from 2000 to 2001 due to the
consistency of average rental rates and average occupancy.

Other income of $7,500 recognized in 2002 was mainly
due to the return of real estate taxes from previous periods due to a
successful tax appeal.

Rental operations expense was $91,398 in 2002, $87,042
in 2001, and $83,724 in 2000. The increase in rental operations
expense from 2001 to 2002 is due to an increase in maintenance expense
and insurance expense, partially offset by a decrease in leasing
commission expense. The increase in maintenance expense is due to an
increase in apartment painting and maintenance. The increase in
insurance expense is due to insurance market conditions. The decrease
in leasing commission expense is due to a decrease in the turnover of
apartment units. The increase from 2000 to 2001 is due to an increase
in leasing commission expense, partially offset by a decrease in
maintenance expense. The increase in leasing commission expense is due
to an increase in the turnover of apartment units. The decrease in
maintenance expense is due to a decrease in painting expense and
cleaning service expense.

Interest expense was $66,829 in 2002, $63,854 in 2001,
and $60,246 in 2000. The increase in interest expense from 2000 to
2002 is due to the increase in the principal balance upon which the
interest is calculated.

Depreciation and amortization expense was $107,903 in
2002, $123,580 in 2001, and $123,057 in 2000. The decrease to 2002
from 2001 is due to a decrease in amortization expense. A deferred
expense incurred in a prior year became fully amortized during 2002.

During the year, a net loss of approximately $87,000
was incurred at the Registrant's remaining property compared to net
loss of approximately $72,000 in 2001, and a loss of $71,000 in 2000.
A discussion of property operations/activities follows.

In 2002, Registrant incurred a net loss of $87,000 at
the Lofts at Red Hill including $62,000 of depreciation and
amortization expense compared to a net loss of $72,000 including
$62,000 of depreciation and amortization expense in 2001, and a net
loss of $71,000 including $61,000 of depreciation and amortization
expense in 2000. The increase in net loss from 2001 to 2002 is due to
a decrease in rental income, combined with an increase in rental
operations expense, interest expense and bad debt expense, partially
offset by an increase in other income. The decrease in rental income
is due to a decrease in average occupancy (86% to 82%). The increase
in rental operations expense is due to an increase in maintenance
expense, partially offset by a decrease in leasing commission expense.
The increase in maintenance expense is due to an increase in apartment
painting and maintenance and the decrease in leasing commission
expense is due to a decrease in the turnover of apartment units. The
increase in interest expense is due to an increase in the principal
balance upon which the interest is calculated. The bad debt expense is
due to the write off of tenant accounts receivable that were deemed
uncollectible. The increase in other income is due to the return of
real estate taxes from previous periods due to a successful tax
appeal. The increase in net loss from 2000 to 2001 is due to the
increase in leasing commission expense and interest expense, partially
offset by a decrease in maintenance expense. The increase in leasing
commission expense is due to the increase in the turnover of apartment
units and the increase in interest expense is due to an increase in
the principal balance of the loan on which the interest is calculated.
The decrease in maintenance expense is due to a decrease in painting
expense and cleaning service expense.

On October 1, 2002, the mortgage note secured by the
Lofts at Red Hill matured and was declared in default by the lender.

On September 10, 2003, the Lofts at Red Hill was sold.
The net proceeds of the sale were used to pay the mortgage note
secured by the property and accrued expenses of the Registrant. No
funds remained for distribution to unit holders. The Registrant
liquidated thereafter.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 8. Financial Statement and Supplementary Data

Registrant is not required to furnish the supplementary
financial information referred to in Item 302 of Regulations S-K.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our managing partner's principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate,
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures,
our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our
management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in
evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and
procedures.

Under the supervision of our managing partner's principal executive
officer and principal financial officer we have carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our adopted disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based upon that evaluation, our managing partner's president and
treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are
effective.

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls
over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter.





Independent Auditor's Report

To the Partners
Diversified Historic Investors V

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Diversified Historic Investors V (a Pennsylvania Limited Partnership)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related
statements of operations and changes in partners' equity and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position
of Diversified Historic Investors V as of December 31, 2002 and 2001,
and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended
December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The Schedule of Real
Estate and Accumulated Depreciation on page 20 is presented for the
purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to
the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the partnership will continue as a going concern. In recent years,
the partnership has incurred significant losses from operations, which
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going
concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that
might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(a limited partnership)

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - ORGANIZATION
Diversified Historic Investors V (the "Partnership") is a Pennsylvania
limited partnership formed in July 1987 to acquire, rehabilitate,
renovate, manage, operate, hold, sell, exchange, and otherwise deal in
and with real properties containing improvements which are certified
historic structures, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), or which were eligible for designation as such, and to engage
in any and all activities related or incidental thereto. Any
rehabilitations undertaken by the Partnership were done with a view to
obtaining certification of expenditures as "qualified rehabilitation
expenditures" as defined in the Code.

NOTE B - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the
preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements
follows:

1. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and a subsidiary partnership, with appropriate elimination
of inter-partnership transactions and balances. These financial
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of the General Partner,
are necessary for a fair statement of the results for those years.

2. Depreciation

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings and improvements are
depreciated over 25 years and furniture and fixtures over five years.

3. Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

The net loss per limited partnership unit is based on the weighted
average number of limited partnership units outstanding (11,142 in
2002, 2001, and 2000).

4. Income Taxes
Income taxes or credits resulting from earnings or losses are payable
by or accrue to the benefit of the partners; accordingly, no provision
has been made for income taxes in these financial statements.

5. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with
a maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.

6. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes amounts held for tenant security deposits and
real estate tax reserves.

7. Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when rental payments are due on a straight-
line basis. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until
earned.

8. Deferred Expenses

Loan fees have been incurred with respect to certain loans. Such fees
were deferred and are being amortized over the term of the related
loans.

9. Rental Properties

Rental properties are stated at cost. A provision for impairment of
value is recorded when a decline in value of a property is determined
to be other than temporary as a result of one or more of the
following: (1) a property is offered for sale at a price below its
current carrying value, (2) a property has significant balloon
payments due within the foreseeable future, which the Partnership does
not have the resources to meet, and anticipates it will be unable to
obtain replacement financing or debt modification sufficient to allow
it to continue to hold the property over a reasonable period of time,
(3) a property has been, and is expected to continue, generating
significant operating deficits and the Partnership is unable, or
unwilling, to sustain such deficits, and has been unable, or
anticipates it will be unable, to obtain debt modification, financing
or refinancing sufficient to allow it to continue to hold the property
for a reasonable period of time or (4) a property's value has declined
based on management's expectations with respect to projected future
operational cash flows and prevailing economic conditions. An
impairment loss is indicated when the undiscounted sum of estimated
future cash flows from an asset, including estimated sales proceeds,
and assuming a reasonable period of ownership up to 5 years, is less
than the carrying amount of the asset. The impairment loss is
measured as the difference between the estimated fair value and the
carrying amount of the asset. In the absence of the above
circumstances, properties and improvements are stated at cost. An
analysis is done on an annual basis at December 31 of each year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

NOTE C - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

1. Capital Contributions

The Partnership offered investors limited partnership units at $1,000
per unit; the minimum purchase per investor was three units. A total
of 11,142 limited partnership units were sold. After payment of costs
of issuance as provided for in the Agreement and the withdrawal of the
initial limited partner, initial Partnership capital was $9,722,760
from limited partners and $9,900 from the General Partner.

2. Distributions from Operations

The Agreement provides that, beginning with the date of the admission
of the additional limited partners, all distributable cash from
operations (as defined) will be distributed 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the General Partner. The General Partner also
receives an incentive management fee equal to 4% of available cash (as
defined).

All distributable cash from sales or dispositions will be distributed
to the limited partners in an amount equal to their adjusted invested
capital plus an amount equal to the greater of an 8.5% cumulative, non-
compounded annual return on the average after-credit invested capital
or a 6% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on average adjusted
invested capital, less amounts previously distributed. Thereafter,
after receipt by the General Partner or its affiliates of any accrued
but unpaid real estate brokerage commissions, the balance will be
distributed 15% to the General Partner and 85% to the limited
partners.

3. Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses from Operations

Net income and net loss (as defined) will be allocated 99% to the
limited partners and 1% to the General Partner with certain exceptions
as defined in the Agreement.

The Agreement provides that the fiscal year of the Partnership will be
the calendar year and that the partnership shall continue until
December 31, 2037, unless sooner terminated upon the occurrence of
certain events.
