PART I
Item 1: BUSINESS
General Development of Business
ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws
of the State of California in September 1992. The Partnership was formed for the
purpose of acquiring equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales
activities.
The Partnership conducted a public offering of 12,500,000 units of Limited
Partnership interest (Units), at a price of $10 per Unit. As of November 15,
1994, the Partnership had received and accepted subscriptions for 12,500,000
($125,000,000) Limited Partnership Units in addition to the Initial Limited
Partners' Units and the offering was terminated. Of those Units, 12,497,000 were
issued and outstanding as of December 31, 1996. Of the proceeds received,
$11,875,000 was paid to ATEL Securities Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary
of ATEL Financial Corporation (the General Partner), as sales commissions,
$5,738,415 was paid to the General Partner as reimbursements of organization and
other syndication costs, $1,875,000 was reserved for repurchases of Units and
working capital and $105,511,585 has been used to acquire leased equipment,
including acquisition fees paid or to be paid to the General Partner.
The Partnership's principal objectives are to invest in a diversified portfolio
of equipment which will (i) preserve, protect and return the Partnership's
invested capital; (ii) generate substantial distributions to the partners of
cash from operations and cash from sales or refinancing, with any balance
remaining after certain minimum distributions to be used to purchase additional
equipment during the reinvestment period, ending December 31, 2000; and (iii)
provide significant distributions following the reinvestment period and until
all equipment has been sold. The Partnership is governed by its Limited
Partnership Agreement.
Narrative Description of Business
The Partnership has acquired and intends to acquire various types of equipment
and to lease such equipment pursuant to "Operating" leases and "Full Payout"
leases, where "Operating" leases are defined as being leases in which the
minimum lease payments during the initial lease term do not recover the full
cost of the equipment and "Full Payout" leases recover such cost. It is the
intention of the General Partner that no more than 25% of the aggregate purchase
price of equipment will be subject to "Operating" leases upon final investment
of the Net Proceeds of the Offering and that no more than 20% of the aggregate
purchase price of equipment will be invested in equipment acquired from a single
manufacturer.
The Partnership only purchases equipment for which a lease exists or for which a
lease will be entered into at the time of the purchase. The Partnership has
completed its initial acquisition stage with the investment of the net proceeds
from the public offering of Units. As noted above, however, it intends to
continue to invest any cash flow in excess of certain amounts required to be
distributed to the Limited Partners in additional items of leased equipment
through December 31, 2000.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had purchased equipment with a total
acquisition price of $186,962,134.
The Partnership's objective is to lease a minimum of 75% of the equipment
acquired with the net proceeds of the offering to lessees which (i) have an
aggregate credit rating by Moody's Investor Service, Inc. of Baa or better, or
the credit equivalent as determined by the General Partners, with the aggregate
rating weighted to account for the original equipment cost for each item leased;
or (ii) are established hospitals with histories of profitability or
municipalities. The balance of the original equipment portfolio may include
equipment leased to lessees which, although deemed creditworthy by the General
Partners, would not satisfy the general credit rating criteria for the
portfolio. At December 31, 1996, in excess of 75% of the equipment acquired had
been leased to lessees with an aggregate credit rating of Baa or better or to
such hospitals or municipalities.
During 1996, 1995 and 1994, certain lessees generated significant portions of
the Partnership's total lease revenues as follows:
Percentage of Total Lease
Revenues
Lessee Type of Equipment 1996 1995 1994
------ ----------------- ---- ---- ----
Burlington Northern Railroad Locomotives 16% 14% *
The Pittston Company Mining 11% 12% 14%
Tyson Foods, Inc. Tractors / Trailers * * 10%
* Less than 10%.
These percentages are not expected to be comparable in future periods.
The equipment leasing industry is highly competitive. Equipment manufacturers,
corporations, Partnerships and others offer users an alternative to the purchase
of most types of equipment with payment terms which vary widely depending on the
lease term and type of equipment. The ability of the Partnership to keep the
equipment leased and/or operating and the terms of the acquisitions, leases and
dispositions of equipment depends on various factors (many of which are not in
the control of the General Partner or the Partnership), such as general economic
conditions, including the effects of inflation or recession, and fluctuations in
supply and demand for various types of equipment resulting from, among other
things, technological and economic obsolescence.
The General Partner will seek to limit the amount invested in equipment to any
single lessee to not more than 20% of the aggregate purchase price of equipment
owned at any time during the reinvestment period.
The business of the Partnership is not seasonal.
The Partnership has no full time employees.

Item 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS
AND RELATED MATTERS
Market Information
The Units are transferable subject to restrictions on transfers which have been
imposed under the securities laws of certain states. However, as a result of
such restrictions, the size of the Partnership and its investment objectives, to
the General Partner's knowledge, no established public secondary trading market
has developed and it is unlikely that a public trading market will develop in
the future.
Holders
As of December 31, 1996, a total of 7,188 investors were record holders of Units
in the Partnership.
Dividends
The Partnership does not make dividend distributions. However, the Limited
Partners of the Partnership are entitled to certain distributions as provided
under the Limited Partnership Agreement.
The General Partner shall have sole discretion in determining the amount of
distributions; provided, however, that the General Partner will not reinvest in
equipment, but will distribute, subject to payment of any obligations of the
Partnership, such available cash from operations and cash from sales or
refinancing as may be necessary to cause total distributions to the Limited
Partners for each year during the reinvestment period to equal the following
amounts per unit: $1.05 in 1995 and 1996; $1.10 in 1997 and 1998; $1.20 in 1999
and 2000.
The rate for monthly distributions from 1994 operations was $0.0875 per Unit.
The distributions were made in February 1994 through December 1994 and in
January 1995. For each quarterly distribution (made in April, July and October
1994 and in January 1995) the rate was $0.2625 per Unit. Distributions were from
1994 cash flows from operations. The amounts paid to holders of Units were
adjusted based on the length of time within the previous calendar month or
quarter that the Units were outstanding.
The rate for monthly distributions from 1995 operations was $0.0875 per Unit.
The distributions were made in February 1995 through December 1995 and in
January 1996. For each quarterly distribution (made in April, July and October
1995 and in January 1996) the rate was $0.2625 per Unit. Distributions were from
1995 cash flows from operations. The amounts paid to holders of Units were
adjusted based on the length of time within the previous calendar month or
quarter that the Units were outstanding.
The rate for monthly distributions from 1996 operations was $0.09166 per Unit.
The distributions were made in February 1996 through December 1996 and in
January 1997. For each quarterly distribution (made in April, July and October
1996 and in January 1997) the rate was $0.275 per Unit. Distributions were from
1996 cash flows from operations. The amounts paid to holders of Units were
adjusted based on the length of time within the previous calendar month or
quarter that the Units were outstanding.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Capital Resources and Liquidity
For the Partnership, 1996 was an active investment year. Funds which have been
received, but which have not yet been invested in leased equipment, are invested
in interest-bearing accounts or high-quality/short-term commercial paper. The
Partnership's public offering provided for a total maximum capitalization of
$125,000,000.
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 lease assets are acquired, as distributions are made to the
limited partners and to the extent expenses exceed cash flows from leases and
proceeds from asset sales.
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 $90,000,000 revolving line of credit with a financial
institution that includes certain financial covenants. The line of credit
expires on October 28, 1997. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had
$9,921,190 of borrowings under this line of credit and the remaining
availability was $38,857,117.
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. At December 31,
1996, commitments to purchase lease assets totaled $1,964,818.
As of December 31, 1996, cash balances consisted of amounts reserved for
distributions in January 1997, generated from operations in 1996 ($1,585,776)
and working capital reserves.
The Partnership currently has available adequate reserves to meet its immediate
cash requirements, 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 December 31, 1996, the Partnership had borrowed $51,500,460. The remaining
unpaid balance as of that date was $41,496,203. As of that date, the Partnership
also had outstanding balances of $9,921,190 on a line of credit.
The Partnership's expected long-term borrowings are to be non-recourse to the
Partnership, that is, the only recourse of the lender will be to the equipment
or corresponding lease acquired with the loan proceeds. The Partnership may only
incur additional debt to the extent that the then outstanding balance of all
such debt, including the additional debt, does not exceed 40% of the original
cost of the lease assets then owned by the Partnership, including any such
assets purchased with the proceeds of such additional debt.
The Partnership commenced regular distributions, based on cash flows from
operations, beginning with the second quarter of 1993. See Items 5 and 6 of this
report for additional information regarding the distributions.
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.
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.
In future periods, cash flows from operating leases are expected to be the
Partnership's primary source of cash flows from operations.
Cash Flows:
1996 vs. 1995:
In 1996, the Partnership's primary source of cash from operations was rents from
operating leases. Revenues from operating and direct financing leases increased
by $3,786,126 and interest expense increased by $2,740,810. The net effect of
these increases was offset by fluctuations in the Partnership's operating assets
and liabilities.
Sources of cash from investing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from
sales of lease assets ($5,900,451) and cash flows from direct financing leases
($4,396,705). Cash flows from those leases increased by $1,792,188 compared to
1995 as a result of acquisitions of assets placed on financing leases in 1995
and in 1996. The primary investing uses of cash were purchases of operating and
direct financing lease assets.
In 1996, the only sources of cash from financing activities were proceeds from
non-recourse debt ($30,770,985) and borrowings under the line of credit
($18,098,333). Most, if not all, of the borrowings under the line of credit are
expected to be repaid with the proceeds of non-recourse debt in 1997. The
primary financing uses of cash were scheduled payments of non-recourse debt,
repayments on the line of credit and distributions to the limited partners.
1995 vs. 1994:
In 1995, the Partnership's primary source of cash from operating activities was
rents from operating leases. Such lease rents are expected to remain the
Partnership's primary source of cash from operating activities in future
periods.
Sources of cash flows from investing activities consisted of direct financing
lease rents accounted for as reductions of the Partnership's net investment in
direct financing leases and proceeds from sales of lease assets. A smaller
amount of cash was received from leveraged leases. The primary use of cash in
investing activities was the purchase of assets on operating, direct financing
and leveraged leases and related initial direct costs.
In 1995, the Partnership's sources of cash from financing activities consisted
of non-recourse debt borrowings and borrowings on lines of credit. The primary
uses of cash in financing activities were repayments of such borrowings and to
make distributions to the Limited Partners.
Results of Operations
As of March 19, 1993, subscriptions for the minimum amount of the offering
($1,200,000) had been received and accepted by the Partnership. As of that date,
the Partnership commenced operations in its primary business (leasing
activities). Because of the timing of the commencement of operations, the fact
that the offering continued through November 15, 1994 and the fact that the
initial portfolio acquisitions were not completed until 1996, the results of
operations in 1994 and 1995 are not comparable and are not expected to be
comparable to future periods.
As of December 31, 1996, 24% of total equipment at cost (19% at December 31,1995
and 26% at December 31, 1994) was leased to lessees in the rail transportation
industry. As of December 31, 1996, 16% of total equipment at cost (20% at
December 31, 1995 and 17% at December 31, 1994) was leased to lessees in the
mining industry. As of December 31, 1996, 11% of total equipment cost (13% at
December 31, 1995 and less than 10% at December 31, 1994) was leased to lessees
in the oil and gas industry. Leases are subject to the general partners' credit
committee review. The leases provide for the return of the equipment upon
default. The concentration of the Partnership's assets in these industries is
not known to have had any effect on the Partnership's results of operations nor
is there any known trend regarding these industries that would effect its
operations in future periods.
1996 vs. 1995:
Operations in 1996 resulted in net income of $2,851,885 compared to $1,627,911
in 1995. Total revenues increased by $4,103,253 while expenses increased by
$3,040,234.
Operating lease revenues and direct financing lease revenues increased by
$2,281,557 and $1,504,569, respectively. Both of these increases were the result
of lease asset acquisitions in 1995 and in 1996.
Gains on sales of assets increased by $391,843. The 1996 gains included $689,237
realized on the sale of assets leased to Barney's, Inc. (Barney's). See
additional discussion below relating to this transaction.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $751,100 due to the asset
acquisitions in 1995 and 1996 noted above.
Equipment management fees are related to the Partnership's gross lease rents and
incentive management fees are related to the amounts distributed to the Limited
Partners from "Operations", as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.
Both gross rents and such distributions increased in 1996 compared to 1995.
These underlying increases gave rise to the increase in management fees.
The increase in interest expense is directly related to increased debt balances
in 1996 compared to 1995.
The Partnership's provision for losses and impairments declined $731,719
compared to 1995. In 1995, a specific provision was made relating to the
Barney's lease assets in the amount of $778,169. There were no similar defaults
in 1996 for which specific reserves were considered necessary.
1995 vs. 1994:
Operations in 1995 resulted in net income of $1,627,911 compared to $679,530 in
1994. As in 1994, the Partnership's main source of revenues was rents from
operating leases. These rents increased from $9,773,188 in 1994 to $18,195,191
in 1995, an increase of 86%. The increase from 1994 to 1995 is due to the
acquisition of operating lease assets during 1994 and 1995.
Direct financing lease revenues also increased compared to 1994. This increase
was also due to 1994 and 1995 asset acquisitions.
For the first time, in 1995, the Partnership started to have significant amounts
of assets come off lease due to scheduled lease terminations. The amount of
assets sold was significant in 1995 whereas it had not been in 1994. Asset sales
are expected to become more significant over the years as more of the
Partnership's leases mature. In 1995, sales of such assets resulted in net gains
of $933,289 compared to $2,564 in 1994. Gains or losses on such sales are not
expected to be comparable from one year to another.
Depreciation of operating lease assets is the Partnership's largest expense and
is expected to remain so in the future. Depreciation and amortization increased
from $8,135,951 in 1994 to $14,600,474 in 1995, a 79% increase. The increase is
comparable to the increase noted above relating to operating lease revenues and
is due to the same acquisitions of operating lease assets in 1994 and 1995.
Interest expense has increased dramatically from $61,036 in 1994 to $1,222,050
in 1995. In 1995, the Partnership borrowed $14,593,242 on a non-recourse basis
and borrowed $33,994,956 on lines of credit. In 1994, the Partnership had
borrowed only $6,136,233, most of which was borrowed in the fourth quarter of
that year. The timing of the borrowings and the increased amounts outstanding in
1995 compared to 1994 gave rise to the increase in interest expense noted in
1995.
Equipment management fees are related to the Partnership's gross lease rents and
incentive management fees are related to the amounts distributed to the Limited
Partners from "Operations", as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership.
Both gross rents and such distributions increased in 1995 compared to 1994.
These underlying increases gave rise to the increase in management fees.
The administrative costs of the Partnership tend to be the greatest during its
initial years of operations. The offering was completed in late 1994 and these
costs have declined somewhat since that time.
In January 1996, Barney's, Inc. (Barney's), one of the Partnership's lessees,
filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The
Partnership's lease transaction had been financed primarily with non-recourse
debt. In addition, the Partnership held certain deposits which it ultimately
retained.
The following table summarizes the cash flows relating to the lease transaction
with Barney's through December 31, 1995:
Purchase of lease assets, at cost ($3,365,947)
Rents received and retained by the Partnership 1,241,443
Non-recourse debt proceeds received by the Partnership 2,021,084
----------------
(103,420)
Deposits received from lessee which were retained by
the Partnership 124,235
----------------
Net cash flows $20,815
================
Effective January 1, 1995, the Partnership adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement Number 121 (FAS 121). As a result, the Partnership
established a reserve for the impairment of the value of assets leased to
Barney's in the amount of $778,169. Of this amount, $557,563 related to the
adoption of FAS 121. See Note 9 to the financial statements included as Item 8
of Part I of this report for additional information regarding the reserve.
The Partnership's provision for losses and impairments increased by $952,855.
The reserve related to Barney's constitutes the majority of the Partnership's
provision for losses and impairments. The remainder was a general reserve.
Reserves for losses were first established in the fourth quarter of 1994. The
amounts provided, exclusive of the amounts related to Barney's, increased over
1994. Provisions for losses and impairments were made in one quarter in 1994 and
were made in all four quarters in 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
1. Organization and Partnership matters:
ATEL Cash Distribution Fund V, L.P. (the Partnership), was formed under the laws
of the State of California in September 1992, for the purpose of acquiring
equipment to engage in equipment leasing and sales activities. Contributions in
the amount of $600 were received as of October 6, 1992, $100 of which
represented the General Partner's continuing interest, and $500 of which
represented the Initial Limited Partners' capital investment (no other financial
activity occurred in 1992).
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 or the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, incurred
costs in connection with the organization, registration and issuance of the
Units. The amount of such costs to be born by the Partnership was limited to 15%
of Gross Proceeds of up to $25,000,000 and 14% of Gross Proceeds in excess of
$25,000,000.
The Partnership's business consists of leasing various types of equipment. As of
December 31, 1996, the original terms of the leases ranged from one to twenty
years.
Pursuant to the Limited Partnership Agreement, the General Partner receives
compensation and reimbursements for services rendered on behalf of the
Partnership (Note 5). The General Partner is required to maintain in the
Partnership reasonable cash reserves for working capital, the repurchase of
Units and contingencies.
2. Summary of significant accounting policies:
Equipment on operating leases:
Revenues from operating leases are recognized evenly over the life of the
related leases.
Equipment on operating leases is stated at cost. Depreciation is being provided
by use of the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases to the
equipment's estimated residual values at the end of the leases.
Direct financing leases:
Income from direct financing lease transactions is reported on the financing
method of accounting, in which the Partnership's investment in the leased
property is reported as a receivable from the lessee to be recovered through
future rentals. The income portion of each rental payment is calculated so as to
generate a constant rate of return on the net receivable outstanding.
Investment in leveraged leases:
Leases which are financed principally with non-recourse debt at lease inception
and which meet certain other criteria are accounted for as leveraged leases.
Leveraged lease contracts receivable are stated net of the related
ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
non-recourse debt service (which includes unpaid principal and aggregate
interest on such debt) plus estimated residual values. Unearned income
represents the excess of anticipated cash flows (after taking into account the
related debt service and residual values) over the investment in the lease and
is amortized using a constant rate of return applied to the net investment when
such investment is positive.
Statements of cash flows:
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents includes
cash in banks and cash equivalent investments with original maturities of ninety
days or less.
Income taxes:
The Partnership does not provide for income taxes since all income and losses
are the liability of the individual partners and are allocated to the partners
for inclusion in their individual tax returns.
The tax basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities varies from the
amounts presented in these financial statements.

Credit Risk:
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Partnership to
concentrations of credit risk include cash and cash equivalents. The Partnership
places its cash deposits and temporary cash investments with creditworthy, high
quality financial institutions. The concentration of such deposits and temporary
cash investments is not deemed to create a significant risk to the Partnership.
ATEL CASH DISTRIBUTION FUND V, L.P.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1996
2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued):
Use of estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Per unit data:
Net income and distributions per unit are based upon the weighted average number
of units outstanding during the period.
3. Investments in equipment and leases:
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership's investments in equipment and leases

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 administrative services to the Partnership.
Administrative 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
disposition 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 administrative 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 administrative services in the same geographic location and are
reimbursable in accordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement.

9. Extraordinary gain on extinguishment of debt:
In January 1996, Barney's, Inc., one of the Partnership's lessees filed for
reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 121 (FAS 121)
the Partnership determined that the assets under an operating lease to this
particular lessee were impaired as of December 31, 1995. The Partnership
estimated that only a portion of the contractual cash flows would be received
under the lease. Under FAS 121, the estimated cash flows were discounted at the
effective rate of the non-recourse debt related to the lease and the assets were
written down to the present value of those cash flows.
Assets and liabilities related to the lease transaction were as follows as of
December 31, 1995:
Assets at cost $3,365,947
Accumulated depreciation (1,287,475)
----------------
Book value of lease assets 2,078,472
Deposits from lessee (124,235)
Non-recourse debt (1,733,741)
----------------
Net assets included in the Partnership's balance sheet as of
December 31, 1995 before provision for impairment 220,496
Reserve for impairment (778,169)
----------------
Excess of non-recourse debt over net assets ($557,673)
================
On July 19, 1996, the assets subject to the lease were purchased by a third
party. As part of the purchase and transaction restructure, the related
non-recourse debt was extinguished by the lender and the Partnership received a
small amount of cash proceeds. The sale resulted in a gain on the sale of the
assets and a gain on the extinguishment of the related non-recourse debt. The
following summarizes this transaction:
Assets at cost $3,365,947
Accumulated depreciation at June 30, 1996 (1,573,580)

10. Fair value of financial instruments:
The Partnership has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
"Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," which requires
disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate fair value. The following methods and assumptions were
used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which
it is practicable to estimate that value.
Cash and cash equivalents:
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments.
Accounts payable, accrued interest and customer deposits:
The carrying amounts of accounts payable, accrued interest and customer deposits
approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
Non-recourse debt:
The fair value of the Partnership's non-recourse debt is estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Partnership's current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair
value of the Partnership's non-recourse debt at December 31, 1996 is
$39,629,318.
Line of credit:
The carrying amount of the Partnership's variable rate line of credit
approximates fair value.
