adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the most recent report on Form

2. Organization and partnership matters:

ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations

Capital Resources and Liquidity

We currently have available adequate reserves to meet contingencies, but in the
event those reserves were found to be inadequate, we would likely be in a
position to borrow against our current portfolio to meet such requirements. We
envision no such requirements for operating purposes.

As of September 30, 2002, we had borrowed $58,317,911. The remaining unpaid
balance as of that date was $781,844. Long-term borrowings are to be
non-recourse to us, that is, the only recourse of the lender will be to the
equipment or corresponding lease acquired or secured with the loan proceeds. We
expect that aggregate borrowings in the future will not exceed 40% of aggregate
equipment cost. In any event, the Agreement of Limited Partnership limits such
borrowings to 40% of the total cost of equipment, in aggregate.

The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its
affiliates in a $43,654,928 revolving line of credit with a financial
institution that includes certain financial covenants. The line of credit
expires on June 28, 2004. As of September 30, 2002, borrowings under the
facility were as follows:

Amount borrowed by the Partnership under the acquisition facility $ -
Amounts borrowed by affiliated partnerships and limited
liability companies under the acquisition facility 21,900,000
--------------
Total borrowings under the acquisition facility 21,900,000
Amounts borrowed by the General Partner and its sister
corporation under the warehouse facility -
--------------
Total outstanding balance $ 21,900,000
==============

Total available under the line of credit $ 43,654,928
Total outstanding balance (21,900,000)
--------------
Remaining availability $ 21,754,928
==============

Draws on the acquisition facility by any individual borrower are secured only by
that borrower's assets, including equipment and related leases. Borrowings on
the warehouse facility are recourse jointly to certain of the affiliated
partnerships and limited liability companies, the Partnership and the General
Partner.

We have made no commitments of capital, nor do we expect to make any, other than
for the acquisition of additional equipment. As of September 30, 2002, we had
made no such commitments.

If inflation in the general economy becomes significant, it may affect us in
that the residual (resale) values and rates on re-leases of our leased assets
may increase as the costs of similar assets increase. However, the our revenues
from existing leases would not increase, as such rates are generally fixed for
the terms of the leases without adjustment for inflation.

If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that we can obtain on
future leases will be expected to increase as the cost of capital is a
significant factor in the pricing of lease financing. Our leases already in
place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.

In 2002 and in 2001, our most significant source of cash was lease rents.

Cash flows - 2002 vs. 2001:

In both 2002 and 2001, our primary source of operating cash flows was operating
lease rents. Our operating lease rents decreased by $1,105,882 (25%) as a result
of asset sales over the last year.

In 2002 and 2001 our largest source of cash from investing activities was the
proceeds from sales of lease assets. In both years, lease rents from direct
financing lease transactions also provided a significant amount of cash flows.
In 2001, we received payments on notes receivable from a former lessee, which
also provided a significant amount of cash.

In 2002 and 2001, our only financing source of cash flows was borrowings under
the line of credit. In the third quarter of 2002, we sold a large lease
transaction and the related assets to a third party. We used approximately
$8,200,000 of the sales proceeds to repay non-recourse debt that had been used
to finance the original purchase of the assets. The amounts of other repayments
of non-recourse debt decreased as a result of scheduled debt payments.

We changed the frequency of our distributions to the Limited Partners effective
January 1, 2002. Previously, most of the Limited Partners received distributions
on a monthly basis. The rest of the Limited Partners received distributions on a
quarterly basis. We are now making distributions on an annual basis based on the
amount of cash which becomes available for that purpose. As a result, the
amounts of cash distributed to the Limited Partners has decreased in 2002
compared to the amount in 2001.



12


Results of operations - 2002 vs. 2001:

In 2001, our operations resulted in net income of $355,809 for the nine month
period and a net loss of $363,187 for the three month period. In 2002,
operations resulted in net income of $2,073,799 for the nine month period and
$410,056 for the three month period.

Operating leases are our primary source of revenues. These revenues decreased by
$1,105,882 (25%) compared to 2001. The decrease resulted from asset sales over
the last year. Depreciation expense is directly related to our operating lease
assets and has also decreased compared to 2001 as a result of these asset sales.
Management fees are based on our revenues and our distributions to the Limited
Partners. As a result of the decrease in our lease revenues and the amounts
distributed to the Limited Partners, management fees have declined compared to
2001. Our debt balances have been reduced by both scheduled and unscheduled debt
payments. This has resulted in a decrease of $296,761 in interest expense
compared to 2001.

Internal Controls

As of September 30, 2002, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and
with the participation of the Partnership's management, including the CEO and
CFO of the General Partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation,
the Partnership's management, including the CEO and CFO of the General Partner,
concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of September 30, 2002. There have been no significant changes in
the Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2002.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

No material legal proceedings are currently pending against the Partnership or
against any of its assets.

Pegasus Gold Corporation:

On January 16, 1998, Pegasus Gold Corporation filed for protection under Chapter
11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The initial meeting of creditors established by
the U.S. Trustee's Office was held on March 9, 1998. The lessee's lease with the
Partnership had previously been leveraged on a non-recourse basis with The CIT
Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. ("CIT"), and all lease receivables (currently
estimated at $2,211,902 as of February 14, 2001) were assigned to CIT.
Consequently, the Partnership's exposure is no greater than the fair market
residual value of the equipment under lease. The reorganized lessee/debtor has
assumed the Partnership's lease in the Bankruptcy Court and cured all past due
payments. All payments are now current. The Partnership entered into an Escrow
Agreement with CIT, wherein CIT has agreed not to foreclose on the Partnership's
interest so long as the lessee continues to perform under the lease.

At this time, the reorganized lessee is current in its lease obligations. The
Partnership has commenced negotiations with the lessee for the purchase or
renewal of the equipment. The original seven-year lease term expires on December
31, 2002. Consequently, this lease has an expected outcome of being fully
performed by the lessee, notwithstanding the prior bankruptcy and default.

Quaker Coal Company:

On December 31, 1997, Quaker Coal Company (the Debtor), one of the Partnership's
lessees, requested a moratorium on lease payments from January through March
1998. No lease payments were made by the lessee through June 1998, and as a
result, the General Partner declared the lease in default. Subsequently, the
lessee cured the outstanding payments and eventually satisfied substantially all
lease payments due under the lease; however, the General Partner refused to
waive the default and insisted on contractual damages. The General Partner filed
a suit against the lessee for its contractual damages in the U.S. District Court
of Northern California (the "Court"). On June 16, 2000, the lessee filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The amounts of these
damages have not been included in the financial statements included in Part I,
Item 1 of this report.

The Partnership obtained a stipulation for relief from the automatic bankruptcy
stay to allow the Court to issue its ruling, and filed a request to participate
on the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the bankruptcy proceedings.
The Partnership succeeded upon securing the return of its equipment, which has
been liquidated. The Court issued a ruling on March 4, 2001, denying the
Partnership's claim for damages. The Debtor subsequently filed a claim against
the Partnership, for reimbursement of its legal expenses. The General Partner
believes the Court's decision is erroneous as a matter law, and has filed an
appeal of the decision in the U.S. District Court of Appeals.

The Debtor filed a plan of reorganization, which was objected to by several
large creditors, including the General Partner. These creditors were also
seeking a formal role on the creditors committee or formation of their own
committee.



13


Upon the termination of the Debtor's exclusivity period, competing plans were
filed by other creditors to the plan, and voting on the competing plans occurred
October 8, 2001. The results of the vote were that, another of the creditor's,
American Electric Power's ("AEP") Plan of Reorganization ("AEP Plan") was
successful. Under the AEP Plan, the claim of the Partnership has been assigned
to a liquidating trustee for resolution and satisfaction from the Debtor's
estate.

In January 2002, ATEL attended an appellate settlement conference seeking to
resolve the outstanding disputed claim. A reserve has been set aside by the
Debtor's liquidating trustee in the amount of $1.2 million in partial
satisfaction of the Partnership's claim, although this claim amount remains in
dispute. Currently, the likelihood of recovery of amounts above the payment of
the lease rent and the liquidation of the equipment already received remains
speculative and highly uncertain.
