PART I.

Item 1. Business

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 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" or "Associates".) Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable
Trust, owns just less than 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, just less than 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.

The Partnership conducted its public offering ("Offering") from July 1,1996 to
July 11, 1997. 25,000 units of limited partnership interests ("Units"), at a
price of $1,000 per Unit were offered. Since inception a total of 22,000 Units
representing approximately $21,915,000 were sold throughout the offering of
which $175,000 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 ("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

1


at the end of the Compliance 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.


As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership has invested in 13 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, 1998, ten of the Apartment Complexes acquired by the
Partnership were completed and in operation. Two of the Apartment Complexes were
still under construction. One apartment complex (North Central) had not started
construction. The Apartment Complexes have been and were being 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 6. Selected Financial Data

OMITTED
Note to Reader. Some of the limited partnerships in which the
Partnership has investments have yet to provide final audited financial
statements and other information as required under the terms of the
respective partnership agreements. That information is critical to the
completion of the Partnership's required disclosures in this Annual
Report on Form 10K, including information on the underlying property
investments, the Partnership's financial statements and required
supplementary schedules. Every effort is being made to obtain this
information and the registrant will file an amended Form 10K as quickly
as possible.

Impact of Year 2000

The General Partner has assessed the Partnership's exposure to date sensitive
computer systems that may not be operative subsequent to 1999. As a result of
this assessment, the General Partner has executed a plan to minimize the
Partnership's exposure to financial loss and/or disruption of normal business
operations that may occur as a result of Year 2000 non-compliant computer
systems.

Business Computer Systems

These systems include both computer hardware and software applications relating
to operations such as financial reporting. The Partnership does not maintain its
own systems and thus utilizes the computer systems of the General Partner. The
General Partner developed a compliance plan for each of its business computer
systems, with particular attention given to critical systems. The General
Partner contracted with an outside vendor to evaluate, test and repair such
systems. The assessment consisted of determining the compliance with Year 2000
of critical computer hardware and software. Incidences of non-compliance were
found with respect to computer software applications and were corrected. The
vendor found no instances of non-compliance with respect to computer hardware.

The Local General Partners and/or property management companies maintain the
business computer systems that relate to the operations of the Local Limited
Partnerships. The General Partner is in the process of obtaining completed
questionnaires from such Local General Partners and property management
companies to assess their respective Year 2000 readiness. The General Partner
intends to identify those Local General Partners and property management
companies that have systems critical to the operations of the Local Limited
Partnerships that are not Year 2000 compliant. For those Local General Partners
and property management companies which have business computer systems which
will not be Year 2000 compliant prior to December 31, 1999 and where the lack of
such compliance is determined to have a potential material effect on the
Partnership's financial condition and results of operations, the General Partner
intends to develop contingency plans which may include changing property
management companies.

Outside Vendors

The General Partner has obtained assurances from its suppliers of electrical
power and banking and telecommunication services that their critical systems are
all Year 2000 compliant. There exists, however, inherent uncertainty that all
systems of outside vendors or other third parties on which the General Partner,
and thus the Partnership, and the Local General Partners and property management
companies, and thus the Local Limited Partnerships, rely will be Year 2000
compliant. Therefore, the Partnership remains susceptible to the consequences of
third party critical computer systems being non-compliant.

Personal Computers

The General Partner has determined that its personal computers and related
software critical to the operations of the Partnership are Year 2000 compliant.

regarding (i) either, the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction; or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on the Partnership's financial statements, or (ii) any matter
that was the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item
