1. Summary of significant accounting policies:

Basis of presentation:

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The
unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of the General Partner, necessary to a fair statement of financial
position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These unaudited interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto contained in the report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. Organization and partnership matters:

ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership) was formed under the laws
of the state of California on September 23, 1992, for the purpose of acquiring
equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities.

Upon the sale of the minimum amount of Units of Limited Partnership interest
(Units) of $1,200,000 and the receipt of the proceeds thereof on March 19, 1993,
the Partnership commenced operations.

The Partnership does not make a provision for income taxes since all income and
losses will be allocated to the Partners for inclusion in their individual tax
returns.

ATEL Financial Services, LLC, an affiliated entity, acts as the General Partner
of the Partnership.

4. Non-recourse debt:

Notes payable to financial institutions are due in varying monthly, quarterly
and semi-annual installments of principal and interest. The notes are secured by
assignments of lease payments and pledges of the assets which were purchased

5. Related party transactions:

The terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement provide that the General Partner
and/or Affiliates are entitled to receive certain fees for equipment
acquisition, management and resale and for management of the Partnership.

The Limited Partnership Agreement allows for the reimbursement of costs incurred
by the General Partner in providing services to the Partnership. Services
provided include Partnership accounting, investor relations, legal counsel and
lease and equipment documentation. The General Partner is not reimbursed for
services where it is entitled to receive a separate fee as compensation for such
services, such as acquisition and management of equipment. Reimbursable costs
incurred by the General Partner are allocated to the Partnership based upon
actual time incurred by employees working on Partnership business and an
allocation of rent and other costs based on utilization studies.

Substantially all employees of the General Partner record time incurred in
performing services on behalf of all of the Partnerships serviced by the General
Partner. The General Partner believes that the costs reimbursed are the lower of
(i) actual costs incurred on behalf of the Partnership or (ii) the amount the
Partnership would be required to pay independent parties for comparable services
in the same geographic location and are reimbursable in accordance with the
Limited Partnership Agreement.

acquisition facility and a warehouse facility) with a financial institution that
includes certain financial covenants. The line of credit expires on June 28,
2004. As of March 31, 2003, borrowings under the facility were as follows:

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

Statements contained in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q,
which are not historical facts, may be forward-looking statements. Such
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those projected. Investors are cautioned not
to attribute undue certainty to these forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to publicly
release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date of this Form 10-Q or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events, other than as required by law.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

In the first quarters of 2003 and 2002, the Partnership's primary source of cash
was operating lease rents. The liquidity of the Partnership will vary in the
future, increasing to the extent cash flows from leases and proceeds from asset
sales exceed expenses, and decreasing as distributions are made to the limited
partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and proceeds
from sales of assets.

As another source of liquidity, the Partnership has contractual obligations with
a diversified group of lessees for fixed lease terms at fixed rental amounts. As
the initial lease terms expire, the Partnership will re-lease or sell the
equipment. The future liquidity beyond the contractual minimum rentals will
depend on the General Partner's success in re-leasing or selling the equipment
as it comes off lease.

The Partnership participates with the General Partner and certain of its
affiliates in a $56,191,292 revolving line of credit comprised of an acquisition
facility and a warehouse facility) with a financial institution that includes
certain financial covenants. The line of credit expires on June 28, 2004. As of
March 31, 2003, borrowing 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 17,200,000
-----------------
Total borrowings under the acquisition facility 17,200,000
Amounts borrowed by the General Partner and its sister corporation under the
warehouse facility -
-----------------
Total outstanding balance $ 17,200,000
=================

Total available under the line of credit $ 56,191,292
Total outstanding balance (17,200,000)
-----------------
Remaining availability $ 38,991,292
=================


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.

The Partnership anticipates reinvesting a portion of lease payments from assets
owned in new leasing transactions. Such reinvestment will occur only after the
payment of all obligations, including debt service (both principal and
interest), the payment of management and acquisition fees to the General Partner
and providing for cash distributions to the Limited Partners.

The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet contingencies,
but in the event those reserves were found to be inadequate, the Partnership
would likely be in a position to borrow against its current portfolio to meet
such requirements. The General Partner envisions no such requirements for
operating purposes.

As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had borrowed $59,077,347 on a non-recourse
basis with remaining unpaid balances of $493,376. Borrowings are to be generally
non-recourse to the Partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender upon a
default by the lessee on the underlying lease will be to the equipment or
corresponding lease acquired with the loan proceeds. The General Partner does
not anticipate any future non-recourse borrowings.

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



10


If interest rates increase significantly, the lease rates that the Partnership
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. Leases already in
place, for the most part, would not be affected by changes in interest rates.


Cash Flows

In the first quarter of 2003, the Partnership's primary operating source of cash
was sales proceeds, whereas in the first quarter of 2002 it was from revenues
from operating leases. Operating lease revenues decreased by $808,524, primarily
as a result of sales of operating lease assets over the last year. In addition,
off lease inventory increased from $700,516 in the first quarter of 2002 to
$1,336,320 in the first quarter of 2003 resulting in decreased rental income.

In the first quarter of 2003, the Partnership's primary source of cash flows
from investing activities was proceeds from sales of lease assets. Such sales
proceeds are not expected to be consistent from one period to another. In the
first quarter of 2002, the primary source of cash flows from investing
activities was direct finance lease rents.

In the first quarters of 2003 and 2002, the single largest financing use of cash
was distributions to limited partners. The amount of such distributions
increased to $1,875,004 in the first quarter of 2003 from $1,088,393 in the
first quarter of 2002. As a result of scheduled debt payments, certain notes
have been paid off. This led to an overall reduction in the amounts of cash used
to repay debt in the current period compared to the same period in 2002.

Results of operations

First quarter operations resulted in a net loss of $635,616 in 2003, compared to
a net loss of $98,057 in 2002.

Operating lease revenues (and the related depreciation expense) have decreased
as a result of sales of assets over the last year. The original cost of assets
on operating leases has declined from $50,630,296 at March 31, 2002 to
$29,906,440 at March 31, 2003. Direct financing lease revenues have decreased
due to the same cause.

As scheduled debt payments have been made, debt balances have been reduced. This
decrease in indebtedness caused interest expense to decrease by $254,297 in the
current period compared to the same period in 2002.

Sales of lease assets decreased in the first quarter of 2003 compared to the
same period in 2002. Gains recognized on these sales decreased from $85,435 in
2002 to $64,135 in 2003.

In 2003, there were charges to net income for impairments of operating lease
assets in the amount of $553,426. The charges related to covered grain hopper
cars on lease to various lessees. The impairment resulted from decreased
estimated cash flows expected to be generated by the assets over their remaining
lives.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures of Market Risk.

The Partnership, like most other companies, is exposed to certain market risks,
including primarily changes in interest rates. The Partnership believes its
exposure to other market risks including foreign currency exchange rate risk,
commodity risk and equity price risk are insignificant to both its financial
position and results of operations.

In general, the Partnership manages its exposure to interest rate risk by
obtaining fixed rate debt. The fixed rate debt is structured so as to match the
cash flows required to service the debt to the payment streams under fixed rate
lease receivables. The payments under the leases are assigned to the lenders in
satisfaction of the debt. Furthermore, the Partnership has historically been
able to maintain a stable spread between its cost of funds and lease yields in
both periods of rising and falling rates.

Item 4. Controls and procedures.

Internal Controls

As of March 31, 2003, 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 March 31, 2003. There have been no significant changes in the
Partnership's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly
affect internal controls subsequent to March 31, 2003.

Changes in internal controls

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect our disclosure controls and procedures
subsequent to the evaluation date, nor were there any significant deficiencies
or material weaknesses in our internal controls.



11


Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including
the CEO and CFO, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules
240.13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was
performed as of a date within ninety days before the filing date of this
quarterly report. Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO of the General
Partner concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing
and timely reporting information required to be disclosed by us in the reports
that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to our management in order to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

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 Debtor in default.
Subsequently, the Debtor 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 Debtor for its contractual damages in
the U.S. District Court of Northern California (the "Court"). On June 16, 2000,
the Debtor 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
since 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. (See discussion
below).

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.

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
(i.e., 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, the Partnership 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. In January 2003, the Federal Appellate Court in San Francisco heard an
appeal of the lower Court's decision. The results of that appellate decision was
handed down in March of 2003 and was adverse to the Partnership's position. The
Partnership is currently considering requesting a rehearing of that decision.
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.

Ingersoll International:

At December 31, 2002, the Partnership had commenced action against Ingersoll
International (the "Lessee") as the Partnership had declared them in default for
making an unauthorized assignment of part of the leased equipment. Subsequent to
December 31, 2002, the Partnership, the Lessee and the unauthorized party
reached an agreement in principal to have the unauthorized party assume a
portion of the lease. This matter was resolved by March 31, 2003.
