The paper contains four tables which summarise the duplicity status of the 34 M dwarf primaries within 5.0pc. Table 1 gives the basic data for the sample: designation, coordinates, V,J,H,K photometry, parallax Table 2 gives, for the nine southern sources, magnitude limits for possible undetected companions. These limits are given for assumed projected separations of 1AU, 2AU, 5AU, and 10AU. In addition, the circumstances of the observation are given: date, telescope, and observational technique. Table 3 repeats, in updated form, the same information (except for the date) for the 25 northern sources. Table 4 lists the nine M dwarf primaries within 5pc which do have one or more companions.
