Geometric Killing spinors which exist on AdS{sub p+2}{times}S{sup d{minus}p{minus}2} sometimes may be identified with supersymmetric Killing spinors. This explains the enhancement of unbroken supersymmetry near the p-brane horizon in d dimensions. The corresponding p-brane interpolates between two maximally supersymmetric vacua, at infinity and at the horizon. A new case is studied here: p=0, d=5. The details of the supersymmetric version of the very special geometry are presented. We find the area-entropy formula of the supersymmetric 5D black holes via the volume of S{sup 3} which depends on charges and the intersection matrix. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
