Item 1. Business
PART I.
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, V, L.P., Series 4 (the "Partnership") or ("Series
4") was formed under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on July 26,
1995 and commenced operations on July 1, 1996. The Partnership was formed to
invest primarily in other limited partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships")
which will own and operate multi-family housing complexes that will qualify for
low income housing credits (the "Low Income Housing Credit").
The general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. (the "General
Partner".) Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 70%
of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. John B. Lester, Jr. is the
original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester Family
Trust, 30% of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. The business of
the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partner as the
Partnership has no employees of its own.
On July 1, 1996, the Partnership commenced a public offering of 25,000 Units of
Limited Partnership Interest ("Units"), at a price of $1,000 per Unit. As of
December 31, 1996, the Partnership has received and accepted subscriptions in
the amount of $8,386,805 (8,413 Units), of which $187,000 currently is
represented by Promissory Notes. Holders of Units are referred to herein as
"Limited Partners."
Description of Business
The Partnership's principal business objective is to provide its Limited
Partners with Low Income Housing Credits. The Partnership's principal business
therefore consists of investing as a limited partner in Local Limited
Partnerships each of which will own and operate an apartment complex ("Apartment
Complex") which will qualify for the Low Income Housing Credit. In general,
under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, an owner of low-income housing
can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used against Federal taxes
otherwise due in each year of a ten-year period. The Apartment Complex is
subject to a 15-year compliance period (the "Compliance Period").
In general, in order to avoid recapture of Low Income Housing Credits, the
Partnership does not expect that it will dispose of its interests in Local
Limited Partnerships ("Local Limited Partnership Interests") or approve the sale
by a Local Limited Partnership of any Apartment Complex prior to the end of the
applicable Compliance Period. Because of (i) the nature of the Apartment
Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income
housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the inability of the
Partnership to directly cause the sale of Apartment Complexes by the general
partners of the respective Local Limited Partnerships ("Local General
Partners"), but generally only to require such Local General Partners to use
their respective best efforts to find a purchaser for the Apartment Complexes,
it is not possible at this time to predict whether the liquidation of
substantially all of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the
proceeds, if any, in accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited
Partnership ("Partnership Agreement") will be able to be accomplished promptly
at the end of the 15-year period. If a Local Limited Partnership is unable to
sell an Apartment Complex, it is anticipated that the Local General Partner will
either continue to operate such Apartment Complex or take such other actions as
the Local General Partner believes to be in the best interest of the Local
Limited Partnership. In addition, circumstances beyond the control of the
General Partner may occur during the Compliance Period which would require the
Partnership to approve the disposition of an Apartment Complex prior to the end
thereof.
2
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has invested in three Local Limited
Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships own an Apartment Complex
that is or is expected to be eligible for the Low Income Housing Credit. All of
the Local Limited Partnerships also benefit from government programs promoting
low- or moderate-income housing.
The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income housing and to the
management and ownership of multifamily residential real estate. Some of these
risks are that the Low Income Housing Credit could be recaptured and that
neither the Partnership's investments nor the Apartment Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. Additionally, there can
be no assurance that the Partnership will be able to dispose of its interest in
the Local Limited Partnerships at the end of the Compliance Period. The value of
the Partnership's investments will be subject to changes in national and local
economic conditions, including unemployment conditions, which could adversely
impact vacancy levels, rental payment defaults and operating expenses. This, in
turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the
Apartment Complexes and the Partnership. The Apartment Complexes could be
subject to loss through foreclosure. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership
is subject to risks relating to environmental hazards which might be
uninsurable. Because the Partnership's ability to control its operations will
depend on these and other factors beyond the control of the General Partner and
the Local General Partners, there can be no assurance that Partnership
operations will be profitable or that the anticipated Low Income Housing Credits
will be available to Limited Partners.
As of December 31, 1996, one of the Apartment Complexes acquired by the
Partnership was completed and in operation. Two of the Apartment Complexes are
still under construction. The Apartment Complexes were developed by the
respective Local General Partners who acquired the sites and applied for
applicable mortgages and subsidies. The Partnership and WNC Housing Tax Credit
Fund V, L.P., Series 3 ("Series 3") each acquired equal limited partnership
interests in Blessed Rock. (The General Partner of the Partnership is also the
general partner of Series 3). The Partnership became the principal limited
partner in the remaining Local Limited Partnerships pursuant to arm's-length
negotiations with the Local General Partner. As a limited partner, the
Partnership's liability for obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is
limited to its investment. The Local General Partners of the Local Limited
Partnership retain responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining,
operating and managing the Apartment Complex.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,916,700 for the period
ended December 31, 1996. This increase in cash was provided by the Partnership's
financing activities, including the proceeds from the offering. Cash from
financing activities for the period ended December 31, 1996 of approximately
$6,457,000 was sufficient to fund the investing activities of the Partnership in
the aggregate amount of approximately $2,544,000 which consisted of capital
contributions to Local Limited Partnerships, loans to Local Limited Partnerships
and acquisition fees of approximately $1,822,900 $100,200 and $621,300,
respectively. Cash provided and used by the operating activities of the
Partnership was minimal compared to its other activities. Cash provided
consisted primarily of interest received on cash deposits, and cash used
consisted primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses. The major
components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.
The Partnership is indebted to WNC & Associates, Inc. in the amount of
approximately $291,400. The component items of such indebtedness are as follows:
Acquisition fees $21,300
Advances made for acquisition costs,
organizational, offering and
selling expenses $221,800
Advance from affiliate for property deposit 26,100
Asset management fees $23,200
As of April 14, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Partnership had received and
accepted subscription funds in the amount of approximately $14,206,000 and
8,318,000, respectively of which $217,000 and 187,000 is represented by Limited
Partner promissory notes. The following information pertains to the
Partnership's investments in to Local Limited Partnerships:

Approximately Approximately
Capital contributions made to
Local Limited Partnerships $7,152,410 $1,822,911
Commitments for additional Capital
contributions made to Local Limited Partnerships 6,462,866 4,267,232
Loans outstanding to Local Limited Partnerships 51,900 126,381
10
Prior to sale of the Apartment Complexes, it is not expected that any of the
Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested or will invest
will generate cash from operations sufficient to provide distributions to the
Limited Partners in any material amount. Such cash from operations, if any,
would first be used to meet operating expenses of the Partnership, including
payment of the asset management fee to the General Partner. As a result, it is
not anticipated that the Partnership will provide distributions to the Limited
Partners prior to the sale of the Apartment Complexes ,if ever.
The Partnership's investments will not be readily marketable and may be affected
by adverse general economic conditions which, in turn, could substantially
increase the risk of operating losses for the Apartment Complexes, the Local
Limited Partnerships and the Partnership. These problems may result from a
number of factors, many of which cannot be controlled by the General Partner.
Nevertheless, the General Partner anticipates that capital raised from the sale
of the Units will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's investment commitments
and proposed operations.
The Partnership will establish working capital reserves of at least 3% of
capital contributions, an amount which is anticipated to be sufficient to
satisfy general working capital and administrative expense requirements of the
Partnership excluding payment of the asset management fee as well as expenses
attendant to the preparation of tax returns and reports to the Limited Partners
and other investor servicing obligations of the Partnership. Liquidity would,
however, be adversely affected by unanticipated or greater than anticipated
operating costs. The Partnership's liquidity could also be affected by defaults
or delays in payment of the Limited Partners' promissory notes, from which a
portion of the working capital reserves is expected to be funded. To the extent
that working capital reserves are insufficient to satisfy the cash requirements
of the Partnership, it is anticipated that additional funds would be sought
through bank loans or other institutional financing. The General Partner may
also apply any cash distributions received
11
from the Local Limited Partnerships for such purposes or to replenish or
increase working capital reserves.
Under its Partnership Agreement the Partnership does not have the ability to
assess the Limited Partners for additional capital contributions to provide
capital if needed by the Partnership or Local Limited Partnerships. Accordingly,
if circumstances arise that cause the Local Limited Partnerships to require
capital in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any equity
contributed by the general partners of the Local Limited Partnerships, the only
sources from which such capital needs will be able to be satisfied (other than
the limited reserves available at the Partnership level) will be (i) third-party
debt financing (which may not be available, if, as expected, the Apartment
Complexes owned by the Local Limited Partnerships are already substantially
leveraged), (ii) additional equity contributions or advances of the general
partners of the Local Limited Partnerships, (iii) other equity sources (which
could adversely affect the Partnership's interest in Housing Tax Credits, cash
flow and/or proceeds of sale or refinancing of the Apartment Complexes and
result in adverse tax consequences to the Limited Partners), or (iv) the sale or
disposition of the Apartment Complexes (which could have the same adverse
effects as discussed in (iii) above). There can be no assurance that funds from
any of such sources would be readily available in sufficient amounts to fund the
capital requirement of the Local Limited Partnerships in question. If such funds
are not available, the Local Limited Partnerships would risk foreclosure on
their Apartment Complexes if they were unable to renegotiate the terms of their
first mortgages and any other debt secured by the Apartment Complexes to the
extent the capital requirements of the Local Limited Partnerships relate to such
debt.
The Partnership's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo major
changes during their first several years of operations as a result of the
completion of its offering of Units and its acquisition of investments.
Thereafter, the Partnership's capital needs and resources are expected to be
relatively stable over the holding periods of the investments except to the
extent of proceeds received in payment of Local Limited Partnership promissory
notes and disbursed to fund the deferred obligations of the Partnership.
Results of Operations
As reflected on its Statements of Operations, the Partnership had a loss of
$46,834 for the period ended December 31, 1996. The component items of revenue
and expense are discussed below.
Revenue. The Partnership's revenue consists entirely of interest earned on
Limited Partner promissory notes and cash deposits held in financial
institutions (i) as reserves, or (ii) pending investment in Local Limited
Partnerships. Interest revenue in future years will be a function of prevailing
interest rates and the amount of cash balances. It is anticipated that the
Partnership will maintain cash reserves in an amount not materially in excess of
the minimum amount required by its Partnership Agreement, which is 3% of capital
contributions.
Expenses. The most significant component of operating expenses is expected to be
the asset management fee. The asset management fees is equal to the greater of
(i) $2,000 for each Apartment Complex or (ii) 0.275% of gross proceeds, and will
be decreased or increased annually based on changes to the Consumer Price Index.
Management fees of $23,139 were incurred for the period ended December 31, 1996.
Amortization expense consist of the amortization over a period of 30 years of
acquisition fees and other expenses attributable to the acquisition of Local
Limited Partnership investments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT THEREON
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V,
L.P., Series 4 (a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1996, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the period July 1, 1996 (date operations commenced)
to December 31, 1996. 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 audit. We did not audit the financial
statements of one of the three limited partnerships in which WNC Housing Tax
Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4 is a limited partner. This investment, as
discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, is accounted for by the equity
method. The investment in this limited partnership represented 10% of the total
assets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4 at December 31, 1996.
The financial statements of this limited partnership was audited by other
auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for this limited partnership, is based solely on
the report of the other auditors.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
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 and the report of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of the other auditors, the
1996 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Period From July 1, 1996 (Date Operations
Commenced) To December 31, 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4 (the "Partnership") was formed
under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on July 26, 1995, and
commenced operations on July 1, 1996. Prior to July 1, 1996, the Partnership was
considered a development-stage enterprise. The Partnership was formed to invest
primarily in other limited partnerships which will own and operate multi-family
housing complexes that will qualify for low income housing credits.
The general partner is WNC Tax Credit Partners, V, L.P. (the "General
Partner"), a California limited partnership. WNC & Associates, Inc. is the
general partner of the WNC Tax Credit Partners V, L.P. Wilfred N. Cooper,
Sr., through the Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 70% of the outstanding stock of
WNC & Associates, Inc. John B. Lester, Jr. is the original limited partner of
the Partnership and owns, through the Lester Family Trust, 30% of the
outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is authorized to sell
25,000 Units at $1,000 per Unit (the "Units") of which 8,413 Units in the amount
of $8,413,000, net of $26,195 of discounts for volume purchases, had been sold
as of December 31, 1996. The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating
profits and losses, taxable income and loss and in cash available for
distribution from the Partnership. The limited partners will be allocated the
remaining 99% of these items in proportion to their respective investments.
After the limited partners have received proceeds from a sale or refinancing
equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) and the General Partner has received a
subordinated disposition fee (as described in Note 4), any additional sale or
refinancing proceeds will be distributed 90% to the limited partners (in
proportion to their respective investments) and 10% to the General Partner.
The Partnership's investments in limited partnerships are subject to the risks
incident to the management and ownership of multifamily residential real estate,
and include the risks that neither the Partnership's investments nor the
apartment complexes owned by the limited partnerships will be readily
marketable. Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be
able to dispose of its interest in the limited partnerships. The value of the
Partnership's investments will be subject to changes in national and local
economic conditions, including unemployment conditions, which could adversely
impact vacancy levels, rental payment defaults and operating expenses. This, in
turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the
apartment complexes and the Partnership. The apartment complexes could be
subject to loss through foreclosure. In addition, each limited partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards which might be uninsurable.
Because the Partnership's ability to control its operations will depend on these
and other factors beyond the control of the General Partner and the general
partners of the limited partnerships, there can be no assurance that Partnership
operations will be profitable or that the anticipated housing tax credits will
be available to limited partners.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Method of Accounting For Investments in Limited Partnerships
The Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment
balance for its share of the limited partnership's results of operations and for
any distributions received. The accounting policies of the limited partnerships
are consistent with the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in
acquiring the investments in limited partnerships are capitalized as part of the
investment and amortized over 30 years (see Note 4).
Losses from limited partnerships allocated to the Partnership will not be
recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below
zero.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The partnership considers highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 1996, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.
Offering Expenses
Offering expenses consist of underwriting commissions, dealer-management fees,
legal fees, printing, filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in
connection with the selling of limited partnership interests in the Partnership.
The General Partner is obligated to pay all offering and organization costs in
excess of 14.5% (including sales commissions) of the total offering proceeds.
Offering expenses are reflected as a reduction of limited partners' capital and
for the period ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership incurred offering
expenses and selling expenses of $490,805 and $612,460, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Net loss per limited partner unit is computed by dividing the limited partners'
share of net loss by the weighted number of limited partner units outstanding
during the period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
For The Period From July 1, 1996 (Date Operations

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
Loans receivable represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain limited
partnerships in which the Partnership may invest. These loans will be applied
against the first capital contribution due if the Partnership ultimately
acquires a limited partnership interest. In the event that the Partnership does
not acquire a limited partnership interest, the loans are to be repaid with
interest at a rate which is equal to the rate charged to the holder (10.25% at
December 31, 1996). Loans receivable with a balance of $126,381 at December 31,
1996 were collectible from two limited partnerships acquired in 1997 (see Note
8).
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in three limited partnerships, each of which owns one apartment
complex. As of December 31, 1996, construction and rehabilitation of two of the
apartment complexes had been partially completed and the other had begun
operations. The respective general partners of the limited partnerships manage
the day to day operations of the limited partnerships. Significant limited
partnership business decisions require the approval of the Partnership. The
Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to 99%, as specified in the
partnership agreements, of the operating profits and losses of the limited
partnerships upon its acquisition of its limited partnership interests.
The Partnership investments in the limited partnerships as shown in the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 are approximately $4,908,000
greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the limited partnerships'
financial statements. This difference is primarily due to acquisition costs
related to the acquisition of the investments that have been capitalized in the
Partnership's investment account and are being amortized over 30 years (see Note
4) and certain capital contributions accrued but not paid (see Note 5).
Following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
limited partnerships for the year ended December 31, 1996:
Investments per balance sheet, beginning of period $ ---
Capital contributions to limited partnerships 1,822,912
Capital contributions payable to limited

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to
the General Partner or its affiliates for the following items:
Acquisition fees of up to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of
Partnership units as compensation for services rendered in connection
with the acquisition of limited partnerships. As of December 31, 1996,
the Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $582,690. Accumulated
amortization was insignificant for 1996.
Reimbursement of costs incurred by an affiliate of the General Partner
in connection with the acquisition of limited partnerships. These
reimbursements will not exceed 1% of the gross proceeds. As of December
31, 1996, the Partnership incurred acquisition costs of $59,916 which
have been included in limited partnership investment. Accumulated
amortization was insignificant for 1996.
An annual asset management fee equal to the greater amount of (i)
$2,000 for each apartment complex, or (ii) 0.275% of gross proceeds. In
either case, the fee will be decreased or increased annually based on
changes to the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the
maximum amount exceed 0.2% of the invested assets (defined as the
Partnership's capital contributions plus its allocable percentage of
the mortgage debt encumbering the apartment complexes) of the limited
partnerships. The Partnership incurred asset management fees of $23,139
for the period ended December 31, 1996.
A subordinated disposition fee in an amount equal to 1% of the sales
price of real estate sold. Payment of this fee is subordinated to the
limited partners receiving a return on investment (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) and is payable only if services are rendered in
the sales effort.
Due to General Partner and affiliates on the accompanying balance sheet consists
of the following at December 31, 1996:
Acquisition fees $ (21,271)
Advances made for acquisition costs, and
organizational, offering and selling
expenses (220,831)
Advance from affiliate for property deposit (26,155)

NOTE 5 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
Payables to limited partnerships represent amounts which are due at various
times based on conditions specified in the limited partnership agreements. These
contributions are non-interest bearing, are payable in installments and are due
upon the limited partnerships achieving certain development and operating
benchmarks (generally within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements as any liability for income taxes is the obligation of the partners
of the Partnership.
NOTE 7 - SUBSCRIPTIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had received subscriptions for 1,049
units consisting of receivables of $861,250, net of discounts of $750, and
promissory notes of $187,000. Limited partners who subscribed for ten or more
units of limited partnership interest ($10,000) could elect to pay 50% of the
purchase price in cash upon subscription and the remaining 50% by the delivery
of a promissory note payable, with interest at the rate of 9.75% per annum and
due no later than 13 months after the subscription date. Since the subscription
receivables were collected subsequent to year-end, the Partnership has reflected
such amounts as capital contributions and an asset in the accompanying financial
statements as of December 31, 1996. Since the promissory notes had not been
collected prior to issuance of the financial statements, the unpaid balance has
been reflected as a reduction of limited partners' equity in the accompanying
financial statements.
NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Partnership acquired five limited
partnership interests which required capital contributions totaling
approximately $6,607,000, of which $126,381 has been advanced as of December 31,
1996. (see Note 2). The Partnership is negotiating to acquire two additional
limited partnership interests which would commit the Partnership to additional
capital contributions of approximately $970,000.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company has received subscriptions for an additional 5,793 units.
