EXPLANATORY NOTE After American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership ("the Partnership") filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (the "2000 10-K") for the year ended December 31, 2000 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Partnership determined that the accounting treatment for the loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings") required revision, as explained below. As reported in the 2000 10-K, on March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the ''Exchange Partnerships'') collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential Holdings, a newly formed real estate company. The Partnership's loan to Echelon Residential Holdings is $2,730,000. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, an unrelated Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002 and an annual interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with the transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral. The loan receivable was previously accounted for and reported in accordance with the guidance for Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements ("ADC arrangements") in the Partnership's financial statements as of and for the year December 31, 2000. The loan was presented as an investment in a real estate venture and was presented net of the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings. The Partnership was allocated its proportionate share of the unconsolidated real estate venture's net loss, excluding the interest expense on the loan, based on the balance of its loan receivable in relation to the real estate venture's total equity and notes payable, including the ADC arrangements. For the period ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings was $202,217 and was reflected on the Statement of Operations as ''Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's loss''. Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership determined that the loan receivable should be accounted for consistent with its legal form and the Partnership should recognize the interest income, as calculated per the contractual terms of the loan agreement to the extent such interest income was evaluated as likely to be collected. The loan receivable and related interest should be evaluated for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Accordingly, the Partnership reversed the proportionate share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings of $202,217 previously recorded and recognized interest income of $334,565, resulting in a decrease in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000 of $541,782, or $1.06 per limited partnership unit. As a result, the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated from the amounts previously reported. In addition, during the second quarter of 2001 the General Partner determined that recoverability of the loan receivable had been impaired and at June 30, 2001 recorded an impairment of $238,875, reflecting the General Partner's current assessment of the amount of loss that is likely to be incurred by the Partnership. In addition to the write-down recorded at June 30, 2001, the Partnership reserved all accrued interest of $443,080 recorded on the loan receivable through March 31, 2001 and has ceased accruing interest on its loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings, effective April 1, 2001. A summary of the significant effects of the restatement is as follows: As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2000:

AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP FORM 10-K/A AMENDMENT NO. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I Item 1. Business. ------------------- (a) General Development of Business 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 EFG. 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", or the "Partnership Agreement"). (b) Financial Information About Industry Segments The Partnership is engaged in only one operating industry segment: financial services. Historically, the Partnership has acquired capital equipment and leased the equipment to creditworthy lessees on a full payout or operating lease basis. Full payout leases are those in which aggregate undiscounted noncancellable rents equal or exceed the acquisition cost of the leased equipment. Operating leases are those in which the aggregate undiscounted noncancellable rental payments are less than the acquisition cost of the leased equipment. Industry segment data is not applicable. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in Item 7 herein. In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for a Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 8 to the financial statements, included in Item 8 herein, the court permitted the Partnership to invest in any new investment, including but not limited to new equipment or other business activities, subject to certain limitations. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership loaned $2,730,000 to a newly formed real estate company, Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings") to finance the acquisition of real estate assets by that company. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32 million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, an unrelated Florida-based real estate company. Echelon Residential Holding's interest in Echelon Residential LLC is pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement to the partnerships as collateral for the loans. (c) Narrative Description of Business The Partnership was organized to acquire a diversified portfolio of capital equipment subject to various full payout and operating leases and to lease the equipment to third parties as income-producing investments. More specifically, the Partnership's primary investment objectives were to acquire and lease equipment that would: 1. Generate quarterly cash distributions; 2. Preserve and protect invested capital; and 3. Maintain substantial residual value for ultimate sale. The Partnership has the additional objective of providing certain federal income tax benefits. The Closing Date of the Offering of Units of the Partnership was September 27, 1990. The initial purchase of equipment and the associated lease commitments occurred on September 28, 1990. The acquisition of the equipment and its associated leases is described in Note 4 to the financial statements included in Item 8, herein. The Restated Agreement, as amended, provides that the Partnership would terminate no later than December 31, 2000. However, 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. The General Partner does not expect that the Partnership will be dissolved until such time that the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated. The Partnership has no employees; however, it is managed pursuant to a Management Agreement with EFG or one of its affiliates (the "Manager"). The Manager's role, among other things, is to (i) evaluate, select, negotiate, and consummate the acquisition of equipment, (ii) manage the leasing, re-leasing, financing, and refinancing of equipment, and (iii) arrange the resale of equipment. The Manager is compensated for such services as provided for in the Restated Agreement, as amended, described in Item 13 herein, and in Note 6 to the financial statements included in Item 8, herein. The Partnership's investment in equipment is, and will continue to be, subject to various risks, including physical deterioration, technological obsolescence, credit quality and defaults by lessees. A principal business risk of owning and leasing equipment is the possibility that aggregate lease revenues and equipment sale proceeds will be insufficient to provide an acceptable rate of return on invested capital after payment of all debt service costs and operating expenses. Another risk is that the credit quality of the lease may deteriorate after a lease is made. In addition, the leasing industry is very competitive. The Partnership is subject to considerable competition when re-leasing or selling equipment at the expiration of its lease terms. The Partnership must compete with lease programs offered directly by manufacturers and other equipment leasing companies, many of which have greater resources, including limited partnerships and trusts organized and managed similarly to the Partnership and including other EFG sponsored partnerships and trusts, which may seek to re-lease or sell equipment within their own portfolios to the same customers as the Partnership. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and the commencement of hostilities thereafter may adversely affect the Partnership's ability to re-lease or sell equipment. In addition, default by a lessee under a lease may cause equipment to be returned to the Partnership at a time when the General Partner or the Manager is unable to arrange for the re-lease or sale of such equipment. This could result in the loss of anticipated revenue. The loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings is, and will continue to be, subject to various risks, including the risk of default by Echelon Residential Holdings, which could require the Partnership to foreclose under the pledge agreement on its interests in Echelon Residential LLC. The ability of Echelon Residential Holdings to make loan payments and the amount the Partnership may realize after a default would be dependent upon the risks generally associated with the real estate lending business including, without limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties, general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties, interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations, rent control laws and other governmental rules. A default by Echelon Residential Holdings could have a material adverse effect on the future cash flow and operating results of the Partnership. The Restated Agreement, as amended, prohibits the Partnership from making loans to the General Partner or its affiliates. Since the acquisition of the several parcels of real estate from the owner had to occur prior to the admission of certain independent third parties as equity owners, Echelon Residential Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Echelon Residential LLC, were formed in anticipation of their admission. The General Partner agreed to an officer of the Manager serving as the initial equity holder of Echelon Residential Holdings and as an unpaid manager of Echelon Residential Holdings. The officer made a $185,465 equity investment in Echelon Residential Holdings. His return on his equity investment is restricted to the same rate of return as the partnerships realize on their loans. There is a risk that the court may object to the General Partner's action in structuring the loan in this way since the officer may be deemed an affiliate and the loans in violation of the prohibition against loans to affiliates and the court's statement in its order permitting New Investments that all other provisions of the Partnership Agreements governing the investment objectives and policies of the Partnership shall remain in full force and effect. The court may require the partnerships to restructure or divest the loan. The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services industry, including equipment leasing and the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings. The Partnership does not intend to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, it is possible that the Partnership may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the 1940 Act. The General Partner is engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding whether or not the Partnership may be an inadvertent investment company as a consequence of the above-referenced loan. If the Partnership were determined to be an unregistered investment company, its business would be adversely affected.The 1940 Act, among other things, prohibits an unregistered investment company from offering securities for sale or engaging in any business in interstate commerce and, consequently, leases and contracts entered into by partnerships that are unregistered investment companies may be voidable. The General Partner has consulted counsel and believes that the Partnership is not an investment company. The General Partner has determined to take action to resolve the Partnership's status under the 1940 Act by means that may include disposing or acquiring certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose or acquire. On May 11, 2001, the general partners of the Partnerships that are nominal defendants in the Class Action Lawsuit received a letter dated May 10, 2001 from the Associate Director and Chief Counsel of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC informing the general partners that the staff of the Division believes that American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-C Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership, American Income Fund I-A, American Income Fund I-B, American Income Fund I-E and AIRFUND II International Limited Partnership (the "Designated Partnerships") are investment companies as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act. The SEC staff noted that Section 7 of the 1940 Act makes it unlawful for an unregistered investment company, among other things, to offer, sell, purchase or acquire any security or engage in any business in interstate commerce. Accordingly, Section 7 would prohibit any partnership that is an unregistered investment company from engaging in any business in interstate commerce, except transactions that are merely incidental to its dissolution. The SEC staff asked that the general partners advise them within the next 30 days as to what steps the Designated Partnerships will take to address their status under the 1940 Act. The SEC staff asserts that the notes evidencing the loans to Echelon Residential Holdings are investment securities and the ownership of the notes by said partnerships cause them to be investment companies and that, in the case of American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership and V-B Limited Partnership, they may have become investment companies when they received the Semele Group Inc. ("Semele") securities as part of the compensation for the sale of a vessel to Semele in 1997. The general partners have consulted with counsel who specializes in the 1940 Act and, based on counsel's advice, do not believe that the Designated Partnerships are investment companies. The letter also stated that the Division is considering whether to commence an enforcement action with respect to this matter. Noting that the parties to the Class Action Lawsuit were scheduled to appear before the court in the near future to consider a proposed settlement, and that the SEC staff believed that its views, as expressed in the letter, would be relevant to the specific matters that will be considered by the court at the hearing, the SEC staff submitted the letter to the court for its consideration. On May 15, 2001, Defendants' Counsel filed with the court Defendants' Status Report pursuant to the court's March 12, 2001 Order. Defendants reported that, notwithstanding the parties' best efforts, the staff of the SEC has not completed its review of the solicitation statement in connection with the proposed settlement of the Class Action Lawsuit. Nonetheless, the Defendants stated their belief that the parties should continue to pursue the court's final approval of the proposed settlement. In this regard, the Defendants also have maintained, on the advice of special 1940 Act counsel that, even if the 1940 Act applies to the Designated Partnerships, the 1940 Act does not prohibit going forward with the proposed settlement, as that transaction is merely incidental to a dissolution of the Partnerships and therefore is not subject to the prohibitions of Section 7 of the 1940 Act. The Defendants also referred to the SEC staff's letter of May 10, 2001 asserting that certain of the partnerships are investment companies and to special 1940 Act counsel's submissions to the SEC staff setting forth the reasons why the 1940 Act does not apply to the Designated Partnerships, noting that counsel had informed the staff of the Division of Investment Management that, based upon counsel's understanding of the surrounding circumstances and after an in-depth analysis of the applicable law, if asked, counsel would be willing to issue an opinion of the firm that none of the partnerships is an investment company under the 1940 Act. The Defendants stated their belief that the proposed settlement is still viable and in the best interests of the parties and that final approval should be pursued. The Defendants advised the court that they believe that if the court were to address the issue of whether or not the 1940 Act applies to the partnerships and the proposed consolidation, it could remove the major obstacle to the settlement being finally consummated. The Defendants also requested that the court schedule a hearing to address on a preliminary basis the objection to the proposed settlement raised in the SEC staff's May 10, 2001 letter. Plaintiffs' Counsel also submitted a Plaintiffs' Status Report to the court on May 15, 2001 in which they reported that the SEC review has not been concluded and that they notified the Defendants that they would not agree to continue to stay the further prosecution of the litigation in favor of the settlement and that they intend to seek court approval to immediately resume active prosecution of the claims of the Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' Counsel stated in the Report that the "[p]laintiffs continue to believe that the settlement is in the best interests of the Operating Partnership Sub-class. However, since the SEC has yet to complete its review of the proxy, the Plaintiffs do not believe that the litigation should continue to be stayed so that the SEC may continue its regulatory review for an indefinite period of time." Plaintiffs requested a pre-trial conference to schedule filing of Plaintiffs' motion for class certification on or before May 29, 2001 and resumption of merits discovery and discovery related to the class certification motion. Subsequently, after the May 31, 2001 status conference, on June 4, 2001 the court ordered a March 4, 2002 trial date and referred the case to mediation and to discovery before a magistrate judge. Subsequently, after the May 31, 2001 status conference, on June 4, 2001 the court ordered a March 4, 2002 trial date and referred the case to mediation and to discovery before a magistrate judge. The Defendants and Plaintiffs' Counsel have continued to negotiate toward a settlement and have reached agreement as to its principal business terms. As part of the settlement terms, EFG has agreed to buy the loans made by the Partnerships to Echelon Residential Holdings for an aggregate $32 million plus interest at 7.5% per annum, if they are not repaid prior to or at their maturity date. Upon completion of a stipulation of settlement, the parties will submit the settlement to the court for approval. Revenue from individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is incorporated herein by reference to Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 8, herein. Refer to Item 14(a)(3) for lease agreements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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"). Mr. Engle established Equis Corporation and GDE LP in December 1994 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.

Legal Proceedings. ----------------------------- Incorporated herein by reference to Note 8 to the financial statements in Item 8. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- None. PART II Item 5. Market for the Partnership's Securities and Related Security Holder -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matters. -------- (a) Market Information There is no public market for the resale of the Units and it is not anticipated that a public market for resale of the Units will develop. (b) Approximate Number of Security Holders At December 31, 2000, there were 758 record holders of Units in the Partnership. (c) Dividend History and Restrictions Historically, the amount of cash distributions to be paid to the Partners has been determined on a quarterly basis. Each quarter's distribution may have varied in amount and was made 95% to the Limited Partners and 5% to the General Partner. Generally, cash distributions have been paid within 15 days after the completion of each calendar quarter. The Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 8 to the accompanying Annual Report. Commencing with the first quarter of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly, future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated. In any given year, it is possible that Recognized Owners will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be available for distribution to the Recognized Owners adequate to cover any tax obligation. Distributions declared in 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

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. In addition to the need for funds in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, 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. Cash distributions consist of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings. "Distributable Cash From Operations" means the net cash provided by the Partnership's normal operations after general expenses and current liabilities of the Partnership are paid, reduced by any reserves for working capital and contingent liabilities to be funded from such cash, to the extent deemed reasonable by the General Partner, and increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations and reduced by all accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout, further reduced by all accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees. Distributable Cash From Operations does not include any Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings. "Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means Cash From Sales or Refinancings as reduced by (i)(a) amounts realized from any loss or destruction of equipment which the General Partner determines shall be reinvested in similar equipment for the remainder of the original lease term of the lost or destroyed equipment, or in isolated instances, in other equipment, if the General Partner determines that investment of such proceeds will significantly improve the diversity of the Partnership's equipment portfolio, and subject in either case to satisfaction of all existing indebtedness secured by such equipment to the extent deemed necessary or appropriate by the General Partner, or (b) the proceeds from the sale of an interest in equipment pursuant to any agreement governing a joint venture which the General Partner determines will be invested in additional equipment or interests in equipment and which ultimately are so reinvested and (ii) any accrued and unpaid Equipment Management Fees and, after Payout, any accrued and unpaid Subordinated Remarketing Fees. "Cash From Sales or Refinancings" means cash received by the Partnership from sale or refinancing transactions, as reduced by (i)(a) all debts and liabilities of the Partnership required to be paid as a result of sale or refinancing transactions, whether or not then due and payable (including any liabilities on an item of equipment sold which are not assumed by the buyer and any remarketing fees required to be paid to persons not affiliated with the General Partner, but not including any Subordinated Remarketing Fees whether or not then due and payable) and (b) any reserves for working capital and contingent liabilities funded from such cash to the extent deemed reasonable by the General Partner and (ii) increased by any portion of such reserves deemed by the General Partner not to be required for Partnership operations. In the event the Partnership accepts a note in connection with any sale or refinancing transaction, all payments subsequently received in cash by the Partnership with respect to such note shall be included in Cash From Sales or Refinancings, regardless of the treatment of such payments by the Partnership for tax or accounting purposes. If the Partnership receives purchase money obligations in payment for equipment sold, which are secured by liens on such equipment, the amount of such obligations shall not be included in Cash From Sales or Refinancings until the obligations are fully satisfied. "Payout" is defined as the first time when the aggregate amount of all distributions to the Recognized Owners of Distributable Cash From Operations and Distributable Cash From Sales or Refinancings equals the aggregate amount of the Recognized Owners' original capital contributions plus a cumulative annual return of 11% (compounded quarterly and calculated beginning with the last day of the month of the Partnership's Closing Date) on their aggregate unreturned capital contributions. For purposes of this definition, capital contributions shall be deemed to have been returned only to the extent that distributions of cash to the Recognized Owners exceed the amount required to satisfy the cumulative annual return of 11% (compounded quarterly) on the Recognized Owners' aggregate unreturned capital contributions, such calculation to be based on the aggregate unreturned capital contributions outstanding on the first day of each fiscal quarter. Item 6. Selected Financial Data. ------------------------------------ The following data should be read in conjunction with Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements included in Item 8 herein. For each of the five years in the period ended December 31, 2000:

(1) See Note 1 to the financial statements, included in Item 8 herein, regarding the restatement of the Partnership's 2000 financial statements. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations. --------------- Year ended December 31, 2000 compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1999 compared to the year ended December 31, 1998 Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership revised its method of accounting for the loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings. As a result, the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated from amounts previously reported. The effects of the restatement are presented in Note 1 to the financial statements, included in Item 8 and have been reflected herein. The following should be read in conjunction with the restated Financial Statements, including notes thereto. The following discussion compares the restated financial condition and results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000 to the year ended December 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1999 to the year ended December 31, 1998. Certain statements in this Form 10-K/A Amendment No. 2 of 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 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 8 to the financial statements included in Item 8 herein, the remarketing of the Partnership's equipment and the performance of the partnership's non-equipment assets. 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. 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 8 to the financial statements included in Item 8 herein. Pursuant to the Restated Agreement, as amended, the Partnership is scheduled to be dissolved by December 31, 2001. However, the General Partner does not expect that the Partnership will be dissolved until such time that the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated. The 1940 Act places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services industry, including equipment leasing and the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings. The Partnership does not intend to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, it is possible that the Partnership may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the 1940 Act. The General Partner is engaged in discussions with the staff of the SEC regarding whether or not the Partnership may be an inadvertent investment company as a consequence of the above-referenced loan. If the Partnership were determined to be an unregistered investment company, its business would be adversely affected.The 1940 Act, among other things, prohibits an unregistered investment company from offering securities for sale or engaging in any business in interstate commerce and, consequently, leases and contracts entered into by partnerships that are unregistered investment companies may be voidable. The General Partner has consulted counsel and believes that the Partnership is not an investment company. The General Partner has determined to take action to resolve the Partnership's status under the 1940 Act by means that may include disposing or acquiring certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose or acquire. On May 11, 2001, the general partners of the Partnerships that are nominal defendants in the Class Action Lawsuit received a letter dated May 10, 2001 from the Associate Director and Chief Counsel of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC informing the general partners that the staff of the Division believes that American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-C Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership, American Income Fund I-A, American Income Fund I-B, American Income Fund I-E and AIRFUND II International Limited Partnership (the "Designated Partnerships") are investment companies as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act. The SEC staff noted that Section 7 of the 1940 Act makes it unlawful for an unregistered investment company, among other things, to offer, sell, purchase or acquire any security or engage in any business in interstate commerce. Accordingly, Section 7 would prohibit any partnership that is an unregistered investment company from engaging in any business in interstate commerce, except transactions that are merely incidental to its dissolution. The SEC staff asked that the general partners advise them within the next 30 days as to what steps the Designated Partnerships will take to address their status under the 1940 Act. The SEC staff asserts that the notes evidencing the loans to Echelon Residential Holdings are investment securities and the ownership of the notes by said partnerships cause them to be investment companies and that, in the case of American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership and V-B Limited Partnership, they may have become investment companies when they received the Semele securities as part of the compensation for the sale of a vessel to Semele in 1997. The general partners have consulted with counsel who specializes in the 1940 Act and, based on counsel's advice, do not believe that the Designated Partnerships are investment companies. The letter also stated that the Division is considering whether to commence an enforcement action with respect to this matter. Noting that the parties to the Class Action Lawsuit were scheduled to appear before the court in the near future to consider a proposed settlement, and that the SEC staff believed that its views, as expressed in the letter, would be relevant to the specific matters that will be considered by the court at the hearing, the SEC staff submitted the letter to the court for its consideration. On May 15, 2001, Defendants' Counsel filed with the court Defendants' Status Report pursuant to the court's March 12, 2001 Order. Defendants reported that, notwithstanding the parties' best efforts, the staff of the SEC has not completed its review of the solicitation statement in connection with the proposed settlement of the Class Action Lawsuit. Nonetheless, the Defendants stated their belief that the parties should continue to pursue the court's final approval of the proposed settlement. In this regard, the Defendants also have maintained, on the advice of special 1940 Act counsel that, even if the 1940 Act applies to Designated Partnerships, the 1940 Act does not prohibit going forward with the proposed settlement, as that transaction is merely incidental to a dissolution of the Partnerships and therefore is not subject to the prohibitions of Section 7 of the 1940 Act. The Defendants also referred to the SEC staff's letter of May 10, 2001 asserting that certain of the partnerships are investment companies and to special 1940 Act counsel's submissions to the SEC staff setting forth the reasons why the 1940 Act does not apply to the Designated Partnerships, noting that counsel had informed the staff of the Division of Investment Management that, based upon counsel's understanding of the surrounding circumstances and after an in-depth analysis of the applicable law, if asked, counsel would be willing to issue an opinion of the firm that none of the partnerships is an investment company under the 1940 Act. The Defendants stated their belief that the proposed settlement is still viable and in the best interests of the parties and that final approval should be pursued. The Defendants advised the court that they believe that if the court were to address the issue of whether or not the 1940 Act applies to the partnerships and the proposed consolidation, it could remove the major obstacle to the settlement being finally consummated. The Defendants also requested that the court schedule a hearing to address on a preliminary basis the objection to the proposed settlement raised in the SEC staff's May 10, 2001 letter. Plaintiffs' Counsel also submitted a Plaintiffs' Status Report to the court on May 15, 2001 in which they reported that the SEC review has not been concluded and that they notified the Defendants that they would not agree to continue to stay the further prosecution of the litigation in favor of the settlement and that they intend to seek court approval to immediately resume active prosecution of the claims of the Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' Counsel stated in the Report that the "[p]laintiffs continue to believe that the settlement is in the best interests of the Operating Partnership Sub-class. However, since the SEC has yet to complete its review of the proxy, the Plaintiffs do not believe that the litigation should continue to be stayed so that the SEC may continue its regulatory review for an indefinite period of time." Plaintiffs requested a pre-trial conference to schedule filing of Plaintiffs' motion for class certification on or before May 29, 2001 and resumption of merits discovery and discovery related to the class certification motion. Subsequently, after the May 31, 2001 status conference, on June 4, 2001 the court ordered a March 4, 2002 trial date and referred the case to mediation and to discovery before a magistrate judge. The Defendants and Plaintiffs' Counsel have continued to negotiate toward a settlement and have reached agreement as to its principal business terms. As part of the settlement terms, EFG has agreed to buy the loans made by the Partnerships to Echelon Residential Holdings for an aggregate $32 million plus interest at 7.5% per annum, if they are not repaid prior to or at their maturity date. Upon completion of a stipulation of settlement, the parties will submit the settlement to the court for approval. Results of Operations ----------------------- For the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recognized lease revenue of $199,293, compared to $247,818 and $321,107 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in lease revenue from 1998 to 2000 resulted principally from lease term expirations and the sale of equipment. In the future, lease revenue will continue to decline due to lease term expirations and equipment sales. 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 Equis Financial Group Limited Partnership ("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. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $436,825 compared to $191,695 and $161,990 for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income is generated principally from temporary investment of rental receipts, equipment sale proceeds in short-term investments and interest earned on the loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings. The amount of future interest income from the short-term instruments is expected to fluctuate as a result of changing interest rates and the amount of cash available for investment, among other factors. Interest income also included $334,565 for the year ended December 31, 2000 earned on the loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership utilized $2,730,000 of available cash for the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings. The entire principal and all accrued interest on the loan is due at the loan's maturity on September 8, 2002. (See further discussion included in Note 5 to the financial statements included in Item 8 herein). The loan receivable was previously accounted for and reported in accordance with the guidance for Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements ("ADC arrangements") in the Partnership's financial statements as of and for the year December 31, 2000. The loan was presented as an investment in a real estate venture and was presented net of the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings. The Partnership was allocated its proportionate share of the unconsolidated real estate venture's net loss, excluding the interest expense on the loan, based on the balance of its loan receivable in relation to the real estate venture's total equity and notes payable, including the ADC arrangements. For the period ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings was $207,217 and was reflected on the Statement of Operations as ''Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's loss''. Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership determined that the loan receivable should be accounted for consistent with its legal form and the Partnership should recognize the interest income, as calculated per the contractual terms of the loan agreement to the extent such interest income was evaluated as likely to be collected. The loan receivable and related interest income should be evaluated for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Accordingly, the Partnership reversed the proportionate share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings of $207,217 previously recorded and recognized interest income of $334,565, resulting in a decrease in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000 of $541,782, or $1.06 per limited partnership unit. As a result, the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated from the amounts previously reported. In addition, during the second quarter of 2001 the General Partner determined that recoverability of the loan receivable had been impaired and at June 30, 2001 recorded an impairment of $238,875, reflecting the General Partner's current assessment of the amount of loss that is likely to be incurred by the Partnership. In addition to the write-down recorded at June 30, 2001, the Partnership reserved all accrued interest of $443,080 recorded on the loan receivable through March 31, 2001 and has ceased accruing interest on its loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings, effective April 1, 2001. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership sold equipment with a net book value of $9,199 to existing lessees and third parties. The sales resulted in a net gain, for financial reporting purposes, of $10,534, $191,523, and $672,899. In 1999, the Partnership sold fully depreciated equipment to existing lessees and third parties. These sales resulted in a net gain, for financials statement purposes, of $191,523 compared to a net gain in 1998 of $775,111 on equipment having a net book value of $272,578. 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 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 for 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 $62,467, $64,562, and $115,523 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 equipment 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. Management fees were $7,482, $9,848, and $13,512 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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 $202,962, $260,161, and $451,793 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 operating expenses includes approximately $41,000, $50,000 and $297,000, respectively, related to the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 8 to the financial statements included in Item 8. Other operating expenses consist principally of 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. 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. Operating activities generated net cash inflows of $114,671, $153,455, and $270,559, in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Future renewal, re-lease and equipment sale activities will cause a decline in the Partnership's lease revenues and corresponding sources of operating cash. Overall, expenses associated with rental activities, such as management fees, and net cash flow from operating activities will also decline as the Partnership remarkets its equipment. The amount of future cash from interest income is expected to fluctuate as a result of changing interest rates and the level of cash available for investment, among other factors. The loan to Echelon Residential Holdings and accrued interest thereon is due in full at maturity on September 8, 2002. Cash realized from asset disposal transactions is reported under investing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership realized $19,733 in equipment sale proceeds compared to $191,523 and $945,477 in 1999 and 1998, 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. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had aggregate future minimum lease payments of $85,896 from contractual lease agreements (see Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 8). At the expiration of the individual 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. In connection with a preliminary settlement agreement for a Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 8 to the financial statements included in Item 8, the court permitted the Partnership to invest in any new investment, including but not limited to new equipment or other business activities, subject to certain limitations. On March 8, 2000, the Partnership loaned $2,730,000 to a newly formed real estate company, Echelon Residential Holdings to finance the acquisition of real estate assets by that company. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32 million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, an unrelated Florida-based real estate company. Echelon Residential Holding's interest in Echelon Residential LLC is pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement to the partnerships as collateral for the loans. The loan has a term of 30 months maturing on September 8, 2002, and an annual interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. The loan made by the Partnership to Echelon Residential Holdings is, and will continue to be, subject to various risks, including the risk of default by Echelon Residential Holdings, which could require the Partnership to foreclose under the pledge agreement on its interests in Echelon Residential LLC. The ability of Echelon Residential Holdings to make loan payments and the amount the Partnership may realize after a default would be dependent upon the risks generally associated with the real estate lending business including, without limitation, the existence of senior financing or other liens on the properties, general or local economic conditions, property values, the sale of properties, interest rates, real estate taxes, other operating expenses, the supply and demand for properties involved, zoning and environmental laws and regulations, rent control laws and other governmental rules. A default by Echelon Residential Holdings could have a material adverse effect on the future cash flow and operating results of the Partnership. The Partnership periodically evaluates the collectibility of the loan's contractual principal and interest and the existence of loan impairment indicators. The Restated Agreement, as amended, prohibits the Partnership from making loans to the General Partner or its affiliates. Since the acquisition of the several parcels of real estate from the owner had to occur prior to the admission of certain independent third parties as equity owners, Echelon Residential Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Echelon Residential LLC, were formed in anticipation of their admission. The General Partner agreed to an officer of the Manager serving as the initial equity holder of Echelon Residential Holdings and as an unpaid manager of Echelon Residential Holdings. The officer made a $185,465 equity investment in Echelon Residential Holdings. His return on his equity investment is restricted to the same rate of return as the partnerships realize on their loans. There is a risk that the court may object to the General Partner's action in structuring the loan in this way since the officer may be deemed an affiliate and the loans in violation of the prohibition against loans to affiliates and the court's statement in its order permitting New Investments that all other provisions of the Partnership Agreements governing the investment objectives and policies of the Partnership shall remain in full force and effect. The court may require the partnerships to restructure or divest the loan. 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. In addition to the need for funds in connection with the Class Action Lawsuit, 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. Cash distributions to the General Partner and Recognized Owners had been declared and generally paid within fifteen days following the end of each calendar quarter. The payment of such distributions is reported under financing activities on the accompanying Statement of Cash Flows. No distributions were declared for the year ended December 31, 2000, however, the 1999 fourth quarter cash distribution of $56,869 was paid in January 2000. In any given year, it is possible that Recognized Owners will be allocated taxable income in excess of distributed cash. This discrepancy between tax obligations and cash distributions may or may not continue in the future, and cash may or may not be available for distribution to the Recognized Owners adequate to cover any tax obligation. 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, the residual value realized for each asset at its disposal date and the performance of the Partnership's non-equipment assets. 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 7 to the accompanying financial statements included in Item 8). 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 include the cumulative difference between income or loss for tax purposes and financial statement income or loss. The principal components of the cumulative difference between financial statement income or loss and tax income or loss result from different depreciation policies for book and tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the General Partner has accumulated a capital deficit at December 31, 2000. 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 Restated Agreement, as amended, 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, 2000, the General Partner had a positive tax capital account balance. The outcome of the Class Action Lawsuit described in Note 8 to the financial statements included in Item 8 included in Item 8 herein will be the principal factor in determining the future of the Partnership's operations. Commencing with the first quarter of 2000, the General Partner suspended the payment of quarterly cash distributions pending final resolution of the Class Action Lawsuit. Accordingly, future cash distributions are not expected to be paid until the Class Action Lawsuit is settled or adjudicated. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Partnership's financial statements include financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risks. The Partnership's loan to Echelon Residential Holdings matures on September 8, 2002 and earns interest at a fixed annual rate of 14% for the first 24 months and a fixed annual rate of 18% for the last 6 months of the loan, with interest due at maturity. Investments earning a fixed rate of interest may have their fair market value adversely impacted due to a rise in interest rates. The effect of interest rate fluctuations on the Partnership in 2000 was not material. ------ Item 8.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS ------------------------------ To the Partners of American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership: We have audited the accompanying statements of financial position of American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership at December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated as discussed in Note 1. /S/ ERNST & YOUNG LLP Tampa, Florida March 30, 2001, except for Notes 1 and 10, as to which the date is November 7, 2001 AMERICAN INCOME PARTNERS V-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999

On March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the ''Exchange Partnerships'') collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential Holdings, a newly formed real estate company. The Partnership's loan to Echelon Residential Holdings is $2,730,000. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, a Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002 and an annual interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. In connection with the transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral. The loan receivable was previously accounted for and reported in accordance with the guidance for Acquisition, Development and Construction Arrangements ("ADC arrangements") in the Partnership's financial statements as of and for the year December 31, 2000. The loan was presented as an investment in a real estate venture and was presented net of the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings. The Partnership was allocated its proportionate share of the unconsolidated real estate venture's net loss, excluding the interest expense on the loan, based on the balance of its loan receivable in relation to the real estate venture's total equity and notes payable, including the ADC arrangements. For the period ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership's share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings was $207,217 and was reflected on the Statement of Operations as ''Partnership's share of unconsolidated real estate venture's loss''. Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership determined that the loan receivable and related interest should be accounted for consistent with its legal form and the Partnership should recognize the interest income, as calculated per the contractual terms of the agreement to the extent such interest income was evaluated as likely to be collected. The loan receivable and related interest should be evaluated for impairment under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan". Accordingly, the Partnership reversed the proportionate share of losses in Echelon Residential Holdings of $207,217 previously recorded and recognized interest income of $334,565, resulting in a decrease in the net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000 of $541,782, or $1.06 per limited partnership unit. As a result, the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2000 have been restated from the amounts previously reported. In addition, during the second quarter of 2001 the General Partner determined that recoverability of the loan receivable had been impaired and at June 30, 2001 recorded an impairment of $238,875, reflecting the General Partner's current assessment of the amount of loss that is likely to be incurred by the Partnership. In addition to the write-down recorded at June 30, 2001, the Partnership reserved all accrued interest of $443,080 recorded on the loan receivable through March 31, 2001 and has ceased accruing interest on its loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings, effective April 1, 2001. NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND PARTNERSHIP MATTERS --------------------------------------------------- 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 EFG. 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 6). 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 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------------------------------------- Cash ---- 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 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, 2000, the Partnership had $1,107,252 invested in federal agency discount notes, repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Treasury Bills or interests in U.S. Government securities, or other highly liquid overnight investments. Revenue Recognition -------------------- Effective January 1, 2000, the Partnership adopted the provisions of Securities Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB No. 101"). SAB No. 101 provides guidance for the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 101 had no impact on the Partnership's financial statements. 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. In certain instances, the Partnership may enter renewal or re-lease agreements which expire beyond the Partnership's anticipated dissolution date. This circumstance is not expected to prevent the orderly wind-up of the Partnership's business activities as the General Partner and EFG would seek to sell the then-remaining equipment assets either to the lessee or to a third party, taking into consideration the amount of future noncancellable rental payments associated with the attendant lease agreements. See also Note 8 regarding the Class Action Lawsuit. Future minimum rents of $85,896 are due as follows:

Revenue from major individual lessees which accounted for 10% or more of lease revenue during the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows:

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 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. 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. Remarketing and Maintenance Expenses --------------------------------------- The Partnership expenses storage and remarketing costs associated with equipment under lease as incurred. Generally, the costs of scheduled inspections and repairs and routine maintenance for equipment under lease are the responsibility of the lessee. In certain situations, the Partnership may be responsible for reimbursing the lessee for a portion of such costs paid by the lessee prior to the redelivery date (i.e., the expiration of the lease term) or may be entitled to receive additional payments from the lessee based on the terms and conditions set forth in the lease arrangement which considers, among other things, the amount of time remaining until the next scheduled maintenance event. The Partnership records the amount payable or receivable, with a corresponding charge or credit to operations. Allowance for Loan Losses ---------------------------- In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"), the Partnership periodically evaluates the collectibility of the its loans' contractual principal and interest and the existence of loan impairment indicators, including contemporaneous economic conditions, situations which could affect the borrower's ability to repay its obligation, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, and other relevant factors. Real estate values are discounted using a present value methodology over the period between the financial reporting date and the estimated disposition date of each property. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, which includes both principal and interest. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings based on the judgment of the Partnership's management of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to absorb probable losses. Accrued Liabilities - Affiliate ---------------------------------- In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS No. 114"), the Partnership periodically evaluates the collectibility of its loan's contractual principal and interest and the existence of loan impairment indicators, including contemporaneous economic conditions, situations which could affect the borrower's ability to repay its obligation, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, and other relevant factors. Real estate values are discounted using a present value methodology over the period between the financial reporting date and the estimated disposition date of each property. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement, which includes both principal and interest. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings based on the judgment of the Partnership's management of the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to absorb probable losses. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets ---------------------------------- The carrying value of long-lived assets, including equipment and the real estate loan, will be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value cannot be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows. Contingencies ------------- It is the Partnership's policy to recognize a liability for goods and services during the period when the goods or services are received. To the extent that the Partnership has a contingent liability, meaning generally a liability the payment of which is subject to the outcome of a future event, the Partnership recognizes a liability in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 "Accounting for Contingencies" ("SFAS No. 5"). SFAS No. 5 requires the recognition of contingent liabilities when the amount of liability can be reasonably estimated and the liability is probable. The Partnership is a Nominal Defendant in a Class Action Lawsuit. In 1998, a settlement proposal to resolve that litigation was negotiated. After a status conference, on June 4, 2001 the court set a trial date of March 4, 2002 and referred the case to mediation and to a magistrate judge (See Note 8). The Defendant's and Plaintiff's Counsel have continued to negotiate toward a settlement and have reached agreement as to its principal business terms. As part of the settlement, EFG has agreed to buy the loans made by the Exchange Partnerships to Echelon Residential Holdings for an aggregate of $32 million plus interest at 7.5% per annum, if they are not repaid prior to or at their scheduled maturity date. Upon completion of a stipulation of settlement, the parties will submit the settlement to the court for approval. The Partnership's estimated exposure for costs anticipated to be incurred in pursuing the settlement proposal is approximately $388,000 consisting principally of legal fees and other professional service costs. These costs are expected to be incurred regardless of whether the proposed settlement ultimately is effected and, therefore, the Partnership expensed approximately $297,000 for these costs in 1998 following the Court's approval of the settlement plan. The cost estimate is subject to change and is monitored by the General Partner based upon the progress of the litigation and other pertinent information. As a result, the Partnership expensed additional amounts of approximately $41,000 and $50,000 for such costs in 2000 and 1999, respectively. See notes 8 and 10 for additional discussions. The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") places restrictions on the capital structure and business activities of companies registered thereunder. The Partnership has active business operations in the financial services industry, including equipment leasing, the loan to Echelon Residential Holdings and its ownership of securities of Semele. The Partnership does not intend to engage in investment activities in a manner or to an extent that would require the Partnership to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act. However, it is possible that the Partnership may unintentionally engage in an activity or activities that may be construed to fall within the scope of the 1940 Act. The General Partner is engaged in discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding whether or not the Partnership may be an inadvertent investment company as a consequence of the above-referenced loan. If the Partnership were determined to be an unregistered investment company, its business would be adversely affected.The 1940 Act, among other things, prohibits an unregistered investment company from offering securities for sale or engaging in any business in interstate commerce and, consequently, leases and contracts entered into by partnerships that are unregistered investment companies may be voidable. The General Partner has consulted counsel and believes that the Partnership is not an investment company. The General Partner has determined to take action to resolve the Partnership's status under the 1940 Act by means that may include disposing or acquiring certain assets that it might not otherwise dispose or acquire. 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 7 concerning allocation of income or loss for income tax purposes. Net Income (Loss) and Cash Distributions Per Unit -------------------------------------------------------- Net income (loss) and cash distributions per Unit are based on 480,227 Units outstanding during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000 and computed after allocation of the General Partner's 5% share of net income (loss) 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 separate tax returns. NOTE 3 - EQUIPMENT --------------------- The following is a summary of equipment owned by the Partnership at December 31, 2000. Remaining Lease Term (Months), as used below, represents the number of months remaining from December 31, 2000 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.

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, 2000, the Partnership's equipment portfolio included equipment having a proportionate original cost of approximately $106,000, representing approximately 10% of total equipment cost. 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 lease terms. The summary above includes fully depreciated equipment held for re-lease or sale with an original cost of approximately $158,000 at December 31, 2000. The General Partner is actively seeking the sale or re-lease of all equipment not on lease. NOTE 5 - LOAN RECEIVABLE ---------------------------- On March 8, 2000, the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (the ''Exchange Partnerships'') collectively loaned $32 million to Echelon Residential Holdings, a newly formed real estate company. Echelon Residential Holdings is owned by several investors, including James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. Mr. Coyne, in his individual capacity, is the only equity investor in Echelon Residential Holdings related to EFG. In addition, certain affiliates of the General Partner made loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their individual capacities. Echelon Residential Holdings, through its wholly-owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan proceeds from the other Exchange Partnerships, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, an unrelated Florida-based real estate company. In the Class Action Lawsuit, there is a risk that the court may object to the General Partner's action in structuring the loan in this way since the EFG officer may be deemed an affiliate and the loans in violation of the prohibition against loans to affiliates and the court's statement in its order permitting New Investments that all other provisions of the Partnership Agreements governing the investment objectives and policies of the Partnership shall remain in full force and effect. The court may require the partnerships to restructure or divest the loan. The Partnership's loan is $2,730,000. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly owned subsidiary (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, a Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a term of 30 months, maturing on September 8, 2002 and an annual interest rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months. Interest accrues and compounds monthly and is payable at maturity. During the year ended December 31, 2000, the Partnership recognized $334,565 of interest income related to this loan. In connection with the transaction, Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to its membership interests in Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral. Echelon Residential Holdings has no material business interests other than those connected with the real estate properties owned by Echelon Residential LLC. The summarized financial information for Echelon Residential Holdings as of December 31, 2000 and for the period March 8, 2000 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2000 is as follows:

See Note 10, Subsequent Events, for discussion of an impairment recorded by the Partnership of the loan receivable and related interest receivable during the second quarter of 2001. NOTE 6 - 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, 2000, 1999 and 1998, which were paid or accrued by the Partnership to EFG or its Affiliates, are as follows:

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 was 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 3, Equipment on Lease. All rents and proceeds from the sale of equipment are paid directly to EFG. EFG temporarily deposits collected funds in a separate interest-bearing escrow account prior to remittance to the Partnership. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership was owed $12,809 by EFG for such funds and the interest thereon. These funds were remitted to the Partnership in January 2001. Certain affiliates of the General Partner own Units in the Partnership as follows:

The principal component of "Other" consists of the differences between the tax and financial statement gain or loss on equipment disposals. The following is a reconciliation between Partners' Capital reported for financial statement and federal income tax reporting purposes for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999:

Cumulative difference between federal income tax and financial statement (loss) income represent timing differences. NOTE 8 - 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 was intended to be achieved and which, among other things, was at the time expected to reduce the burdens and expenses attendant to continuing litigation. The Stipulation of Settlement 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"). On March 12, 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 12, 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, divided the Class Action Lawsuit into two separate sub-classes that could be settled individually. On May 26, 1999, the Court issued an Order and Final Judgment approving settlement of one of the sub-classes. Settlement of the second sub-class, involving the Partnership and 10 affiliated partnerships (collectively referred to as the "Exchange Partnerships"), remained pending due, in part, to the complexity of the proposed settlement pertaining to this class. In February 2000, counsel for the Plaintiffs and the Defendants entered into a second amended stipulation of settlement (the "Second Amended Stipulation") which modified certain of the settlement terms contained in the Amended Stipulation. The Second Amended Stipulation was preliminarily approved by the Court by its "Second Modified Order Preliminarily Approving Settlement, Conditionally Certifying Settlement Class and Providing For Notice of, and Hearing On, the Proposed Settlement" dated March 6, 2000 (the "March 2000 Order"). Prior to issuing a final order approving the settlement of the second sub-class involving the Partnership, the 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 sub-class members 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. The settlement of the second sub-class was 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 principally as a finance company and 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 were to be presented in a Solicitation Statement that would be mailed to all of the partners of the Exchange Partnerships as soon as the associated regulatory review process was 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. One of the principal objectives of the Consolidation was 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 provided, among other things, that commencing March 22, 1999, the Exchange Partnerships could 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 believed to be consistent with the anticipated business interests and objectives of Newco, subject to certain limitations. The Second Amended Stipulation, among other things, quantified the 40% limitation using a whole dollar amount of $32 million in the aggregate. On March 8, 2000, the Exchange Partnerships collectively made a $32 million loan as permitted by the Second Amended Stipulation approved by the Court. The Partnership's portion of the aggregate loan is $2,730,000. The loan consists of a term loan to Echelon Residential Holdings, a newly-formed real estate company that is owned by several independent investors and, in his individual capacity, James A. Coyne, Executive Vice President of EFG. In addition, certain affiliates of the General Partner made loans to Echelon Residential Holdings in their individual capacities. Echelon Residential Holdings, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, (Echelon Residential LLC), used the loan proceeds, along with the loan proceeds from similar loans by ten affiliated partnerships representing $32 million in the aggregate, to acquire various real estate assets from Echelon International Corporation, an unrelated Florida-based real estate company. The loan has a term of 30 months maturing on September 8, 2002 and bears interest at the annual rate of 14% for the first 24 months and 18% for the final six months of the term. Interest accrues and compounds monthly but is not payable until maturity. Echelon Residential Holdings has pledged its membership interests in Echelon Residential LLC to the Exchange Partnerships as collateral for the loan. In the absence of the Court's authorization to enter into new investment activities, the Partnership's Restated Agreement, as amended, would not permit such activities without the approval of limited partners owning a majority of the Partnership's outstanding Units. Consistent with the Amended Stipulation, the Second Amended Stipulation provides terms for unwinding any new investment transactions in the event that the Consolidation is not effected or the Partnership objects to its participation in the Consolidation. The Second Amended Stipulation, as well as the Amended Stipulation and the original Stipulation of Settlement, prescribe certain conditions necessary to effect a final settlement, 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 were effected according to its terms, the Partnership's share of legal fees and expenses related to the Class Action Lawsuit and the Consolidation was estimated to be approximately $388,000, of which approximately $41,000, $50,000 and $297,000 was expensed by the Partnership in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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 permitted 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. On March 12, 2001, after a status conference and hearing, the Court issued an order that required the parties, no later than May 15, 2001, to advise the Court on (a) whether the SEC has completed its review of the solicitation statement and related materials submitted to the SEC in connection with the proposed settlement, and (b) whether parties request the Court to schedule a hearing for final approval of the proposed settlement or are withdrawing the proposed settlement from judicial consideration and resuming the litigation of the Plaintiffs' claims. The Court also directed the parties to use their best efforts to assist the SEC so that its regulatory review may be completed on or before May 15, 2001. The Court continued the Final Approval Settlement Hearing until a date to be scheduled in July 2001 after receipt from the parties of a request to schedule a hearing. Subsequently, after the parties had responded to the court's order and had participated in a status conference on May 31, 2001, the court issued an order on June 4, 2001 setting a trial date of March 4, 2002, referring the case to mediation and referring discovery to a magistrate judge. The Defendant's and Plaintiff's Counsel have continued to negotiate toward a settlement and have reached agreement as to its principal business terms. As part of the settlement, EFG has agreed to buy the loans made by the Exchange Partnerships to Echelon Residential Holdings for an aggregate of $32 million plus interest at 7.5% per annum, if they are not repaid prior to or at their scheduled maturity date. Upon completion of a stipulation of settlement, the parties will submit the settlement to the court for approval. See Note 10, Subsequent Events, for an update of the status of proceedings. NOTE 9 - QUARTERLY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Unaudited) ----------------------------------------------------------- The following is a summary of the quarterly results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999: Three Months Ended

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS ------------------------------- Legal Proceedings ------------------ On May 11, 2001, the general partners of the Partnerships that are nominal defendants in the Class Action Lawsuit received a letter dated May 10, 2001 from the Associate Director and Chief Counsel of the Division of Investment Management of the SEC informing the general partners that the staff of the Division believes that American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-B Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-C Limited Partnership, American Income Partners V-D Limited Partnership, American Income Fund I-A, American Income Fund I-B, American Income Fund I-E and AIRFUND II International Limited Partnership (the "Designated Partnerships") are investment companies as defined in Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the 1940 Act. The SEC staff noted that Section 7 of the 1940 Act makes it unlawful for an unregistered investment company, among other things, to offer, sell, purchase, or acquire any security or engage in any business in interstate commerce. Accordingly, Section 7 would prohibit any partnership that is an unregistered investment company from engaging in any business in interstate commerce, except transactions that are merely incidental to its dissolution. The SEC staff asked that the general partners advise them within the next 30 days as to what steps the Designated Partnerships will take to address their status under the 1940 Act. The SEC staff asserts that the notes evidencing the loans to Echelon Residential Holdings are investment securities and the ownership of the notes by said partnerships cause them to be investment companies and that, in the case of American Income Partners V-A Limited Partnership and V-B Limited Partnership, they may have become investment companies when they received the Semele securities as part of the compensation for the sale of a vessel to Semele in 1997. The general partners have consulted with counsel who specializes in the 1940 Act and, based on counsel's advice, do not believe that the Designated Partnerships are investment companies. The letter also stated that the Division is considering whether to commence enforcement action with respect to this matter. Noting that the parties to the Class Action Lawsuit were scheduled to appear before the court in the near future to consider a proposed settlement, and that the SEC staff believed that its views, as expressed in the letter, would be relevant to the specific matters that will be considered by the court at the hearing, the SEC staff submitted the letter to the court for its consideration. On May 15, 2001, Defendants' Counsel filed with the court Defendants' Status Report pursuant to the court's March 12, 2001 Order. Defendants reported that, notwithstanding the parties' best efforts, the staff of the SEC has not completed its review of the solicitation statement in connection with the proposed settlement of the Class Action Lawsuit. Nonetheless, the Defendants stated their belief that the parties should continue to pursue the court's final approval of the proposed settlement. In this regard, the Defendants also have maintained, on the advice of special 1940 Act counsel that, even if the 1940 Act applies to the Designated Partnerships, the 1940 Act does not prohibit going forward with the proposed settlement, as that transaction is merely incidental to a dissolution of the Partnerships and therefore is not subject to the prohibitions of Section 7 of the 1940 Act. The Defendants also referred to the SEC staff's letter of May 10, 2001 asserting that certain of the partnerships are investment companies and to special 1940 Act counsel's submissions to the SEC staff setting forth the reasons why the 1940 Act does not apply to the Designated Partnerships, noting that counsel had informed the staff of the Division of Investment Management that, based upon counsel's understanding of the surrounding circumstances and after an in-depth analysis of the applicable law, if asked, counsel would be willing to issue an opinion of the firm that none of the partnerships is an investment company under the 1940 Act. The Defendants stated their belief that the proposed settlement is still viable and in the best interests of the parties and that final approval should be pursued. The Defendants advised the court that they believe that if the court were to address the issue of whether or not the 1940 Act applies to the partnerships and the proposed consolidation, it could remove the major obstacle to the settlement being finally consummated. The Defendants also requested that the court schedule a hearing to address on a preliminary basis the objection to the proposed settlement raised in the staff's May 10, 2001 letter. Plaintiffs' Counsel also submitted a Plaintiffs' Status Report to the court on May 15, 2001 in which they reported that the SEC review has not been concluded and that they notified the Defendants that they would not agree to continue to stay the further prosecution of the litigation in favor of the settlement and that they intend to seek court approval to immediately resume active prosecution of the claims of the Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs' Counsel stated in the Report that the "[p]laintiffs continue to believe that the settlement is in the best interests of the Operating Partnership Sub-class. However, since the SEC has yet to complete its review of the proxy, the Plaintiffs do not believe that the litigation should continue to be stayed so that the SEC may continue its regulatory review for an indefinite period of time." Plaintiffs requested a pre-trial conference to schedule filing of Plaintiffs' motion for class certification on or before May 29, 2001 and resumption of merits discovery and discovery related to the class certification motion. Subsequently, after a status conference on May 31, 2001, the court issued an order on June 4, 2001 setting a trial date of March 4, 2002, referred the case to mediation and referred discovery to a magistrate judge. The Defendant's and Plaintiff's Counsel have continued to negotiate toward a settlement and have reached agreement as to its principal business terms. As part of the settlement, EFG has agreed to buy the loans made by the Exchange Partnerships to Echelon Residential Holdings for an aggregate of $32 million plus interest at 7.5% per annum, if they are not repaid prior to or at their scheduled maturity date. Upon completion of a stipulation of settlement, the parties will submit the settlement to the court for approval. There can be no assurance that a settlement of the sub-class involving the Exchange Partnerships will receive final Court approval and be effected. Notwithstanding the failure to conclude the proposed settlement and the court's order setting a trial date, the General Partner and its affiliates, in consultation with counsel, continue to strive for the settlement of the lawsuit on a reasonable basis. However, in the absence of a final settlement 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. Impairment of Loan Receivable -------------------------------- The General Partner has determined that recoverability of the Partnership's loan receivable from Echelon Residential Holdings, including accrued interest, became impaired during the second quarter of 2001. As a result, the Partnership recorded an impairment of $238,875 at June 30, 2001, reflecting the General Partner's assessment of the amount of loss that is likely to be incurred by the Partnership. In addition to the write-down recorded at June 30, 2001, the Partnership reserved all accrued interest recorded on the loan through March 31, 2001, or $443,080, and has ceased the accrual of future interest, effective April 1, 2001. The write-down was precipitated principally by a slowing U.S. economy and its effects on the real estate development industry. The economic outlook for the properties that existed when the loan was funded has deteriorated and inhibited the ability of Echelon Residential Holdings' management to secure low-cost sources of development capital, including but not limited to joint-venture or equity partners. In response to these developments and lower risk tolerances in the credit markets, the management of Echelon Residential Holdings decided in the second quarter of 2001 to concentrate its prospective development activities within the southeastern United States and, therefore, to dispose of development sites located elsewhere. In May 2001, Echelon Residential Holdings closed its Texas-based development office; and since the beginning of 2001, the company has sold three of nine properties (two in July 2001 and one in October 2001). As of November 2001, one additional property is under contract to be sold, subject to due diligence that remains pending. As a result of these developments, the General Partner does not believe that Echelon Residential Holdings will realize the profit levels originally believed to be achievable from either selling these properties as a group or developing all of them as multi-family residential communities. 37 Item 9.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company'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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2000, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BACKGROUND - On March 7, 2000, EIN Acquisition Corporation ("EIN Acquisition") closed on a Tender Offer ("Tender Offer") for all of the outstanding shares of Echelon International Corporation ("Echelon") for a cash price of $34.00 per share. Immediately after the close of the Tender Offer, EIN Acquisition merged into Echelon (the "Merger"), with Echelon being the surviving entity. In conjunction with the Tender Offer, Echelon had entered into various contracts to sell or convey various real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint ventures to third parties. Subsequent to the Merger on March 8, 2000, Echelon closed on existing contracts to sell or convey its real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint ventures. Specific real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint ventures were sold to Echelon Residential LLC ("Echelon Residential"), a wholly owned limited liability subsidiary of Echelon Residential Holdings LLC ("Echelon Residential Holdings" or the "Company"). Echelon Residential will own, manage, and develop or sell these purchased multi-family residential properties. The acquisition of the assets by Echelon Residential was accounted for as an asset purchase under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 ("APB No. 16"). In accordance with APB No. 16, Echelon Residential allocated the total purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market values at the date of acquisition. Since the purchase price of the business was less than the fair market value of the net assets acquired, the credit excess was allocated on a pro-rata basis to the real estate, corporate equipment and the investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. There are no contingencies or other matters that could materially affect the allocation of the purchase cost. The results of operations of the acquired real estate assets and investments in two real estate joint ventures are included in the consolidated results of Echelon Residential Holdings from the acquisition date. The Company's summarized consolidated balance sheet, reflecting the above acquisition of assets, as of March 8, 2000 is as follows:

The Company's fiscal year end is December 31. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS - Echelon Residential Holdings was formed on February 29, 2000, under the laws of the state of Delaware and operates in one industry segment: owning, leasing, developing, and managing real estate. There were no activities of Echelon Residential Holdings from February 29, 2000 through March 8, 2000. The Company is governed by its Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement ("the Agreement") dated June 23, 2000. At March 8, 2000, members' equity included capital contributions from the initial members of the Company, James A. Coyne and Charles E. Cobb, Jr. ("Initial Members"), who made collective capital contributions of $195,226. On June 23, 2000, the participating members, Darryl A. LeClair and Susan G. Johnson ("Participating Members") made capital contributions totaling $2,651,162. The collective Participating Members' capital contributions are comprised of Participating A Capital of $2,591,093, Participating B Capital of $45,052 and additional capital contributions of $15,017. Subsequent to the initial capital contributions above, the Agreement was executed and includes a provision whereby the members have no further obligation to contribute additional amounts of capital to the Company. If the Company requires additional funds, the Board of Managers is to notify the members. Each member has the right to contribute a pro rata share of such additional funds, based on the relative equity contributions made by each member. In addition, the liability of the members of the Company is limited to the members' total capital contributions. In accordance with the Agreement, the Participating Members earn a cumulative compounding annual return on their unreturned capital (as defined), at a per annum rate equal to 14% for Participating A capital and 15% for Participating B capital, commencing on June 23, 2000. Preferred returns will be paid to the Participating Members in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Payout of preferred returns (if any) is contingent upon the cumulative performance of the Company. See Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies. Per the Agreement, the Company is to distribute its cash flow (if any) periodically, but not less frequently than quarterly. The losses and profits of the Company are generally allocated to the members as follows: a) losses are generally allocable 77.9% to members other than Participating Members and 22.1% to Participating Members, and b) profits are generally allocated the same way except for a priority income allocation to the Participating Members to cover priority cash distributions made on their Participating Capital. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Echelon Residential Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiary and a 60% interest in a joint venture. All intercompany balances have been eliminated. Investments for which the Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest are accounted for using the equity method. The Company has recorded a minority interest in the Company's consolidated financial statements to reflect the ownership of its partner in the joint venture. ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the recoverability of real estate held for sale. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. RESTRICTED CASH - Restricted cash represents security deposits at multi-family residential communities held in separate noninterest-bearing depository accounts. RESTRICTED INVESTMENTS - Restricted investments represents certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months. These investments are held by financial institutions that require such deposits in support of standby letters of credit. REAL ESTATE - Real estate additions are recorded at cost. Interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated on the same basis as the related assets. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development or improvement of real estate, and certain indirect development costs have also been capitalized. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated lives of the assets as follows:

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The carrying value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, will be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the recorded value cannot be recovered from undiscounted future cash flows. REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company recognizes revenue on the sale of real estate properties when title has passed to the buyer and all contingencies have been removed. Rental revenues, management fees, and developer fees are recognized when earned. INCOME TAXES - Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws, the Company is not directly subject to income taxes; the results of its operations are included in the tax returns of its members. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS No. 133, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Under SFAS No. 133, certain contracts that were not formerly considered derivatives may now meet the definition of a derivative. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 effective January 1, 2001. There was no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or liquidity resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 133. Effective March 8, 2000 (date of inception), the Company adopted the provisions of Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB No. 101"). SAB No. 101 provides guidance for the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. The adoption of SAB No. 101 had no impact on the Company's financial statements. RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain amounts previously reported in the March 8, 2000 consolidated balance sheet have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2000 presentation. 2. REAL ESTATE - NET As of December 31, 2000, real estate consists of the following:

For the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2000, the Company recorded a write-down of land held for development or sale of $635,437 in the consolidated statement of operations. Land held for development or sale was determined to have been impaired because the estimated cash flows are less than the carrying value of the two parcels of land. The estimated fair value of these two parcels of land was based on letters of intent from third-party purchasers, dated October 2000 and December 2000, to purchase the two parcels of land. As of December 31, 2000, the Company's land and land improvements held for development or sale includes five parcels of improved and unimproved land for the development of multi-family residential communities. The land is located in urban areas in Memphis, Tennessee; Dallas, Texas; Denver, Colorado; and Colorado Springs, Colorado. As of December 31, 2000, real estate under development includes the following three multi-family residential communities:

As discussed in Note 6, Investment in Consolidated Joint Venture Partnership, ECHELON AT LAKESIDE commenced operations during the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 1, 2000 and portions of the project remained under construction as of December 31, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, real estate includes $606,990 of interest capitalized during the period March 8, 2000 (date of inception) through December 31, 2000. 3. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURE In July 1999, Fannie Mae's American Communities Fund agreed to invest with a wholly owned subsidiary of Echelon in the development of ECHELON AT CHENEY PLACE, a 303-unit multi-family residential community currently under construction in downtown Orlando, Florida. Echelon's 20% interest in the joint venture was purchased by Echelon Residential, in conjunction with the real estate assets purchased as discussed in Note 1, Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method.

As of December 31, 2000, the preferred return balances for Participating A and B Capital were $198,597 and $3,709, respectively.

The joint venture formed for the development of ECHELON AT LAKESIDE maintains preferred return accounts for the limited partners, Echelon LP, a wholly owned limited liability subsidiary of Echelon Residential, and Turner. The payment of any preferred returns to Echelon LP would be eliminated upon consolidation. As of December 31, 2000, the preferred return balance for Turner was $312,069. This amount has not been paid and, therefore, has not been reflected as a reduction of member's equity in the December 31, 2000 consolidated financial statements. 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In February 2001, the Company closed on a $18,600,000 loan from SouthTrust Bank for the construction financing of ECHELON AT UPTOWN, a 244-unit multi-family residential community to be developed in downtown Orlando, Florida.

12. MANAGEMENT'S BUSINESS PLAN (UNAUDITED) As of the fourth quarter of 2001, the Company's management is pursuing three principal business strategies to maximize the value of the Company's real estate assets, including the continued development of the Company's real estate portfolio, retaining other joint venture equity partners for real estate projects and selling of certain real estate assets. In addition, as part of a litigation settlement unrelated to the Company that must be approved by the court, EFG has agreed in principle to buy the notes payable from the 11 partnerships for an aggregate of $32,000,000 plus interest at 7.5% per annum, if they are not repaid prior to or at the scheduled maturity date. If the litigation settlement is approved, the interest rate on the notes payable would be retroactively adjusted to 7.5% simple interest as of March 8, 2000. EFG has also agreed in principle to forbear any foreclosure action against the Company and will evaluate the characterization of the notes payable, which may include converting the notes payable to long-term debt or equity.
