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
acquire limited partnership interests in limited partnerships or limited
liability companies ("Local Limited Partnerships") which own multi-family
housing complexes that are eligible for low-income housing federal and, in
certain cases, California income tax credits ("Low Income Housing Credit").

The general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. (the "General
Partner" or "Associates".) The chairman and president own substantially all of
the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of the Partnership is
conducted primarily through the General Partner as the Partnership has no
employees of its own.

Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, on July 26, 1995, on July 1, 1996 the Partnership commenced a public
offering of 25,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interests ("Units"), at a price
of $1,000 per Unit. The Partnership's offering terminated on July 11, 1997.
Since inception a total of 22,000 Units representing approximately $21,915,000
were sold throughout the offering.

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 or non-managing member in
Local Limited Partnerships each of which will own and operate a multi-family
housing complex (the "Housing 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
to reduce Federal taxes otherwise due in each year of a ten-year period. In
general, under Section 17058 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
against California taxes otherwise due in each year of a four-year period. The
Housing Complex is subject to a fifteen-year compliance period (the "Compliance
Period"), and under state law may have to be maintained as low income housing
for 30 or more years.

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 any Local Limited Partnership of its Housing Complex prior to the end of the
applicable Compliance Period. Because of (i) the nature of the Housing
Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income
housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the ability of government
lenders to disapprove of transfer, it is not possible at this time to predict
whether the liquidation of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the
proceeds, if any, in accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited
Partnership, dated May 5, 1996 (the "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 its Housing Complex, it is anticipated that the
local general partner ("Local General Partner") will either continue to operate
such Housing Complex or take such other actions as the Local General Partner
believes to be in the best interest of the Local Limited Partnership.
Notwithstanding the preceding, circumstances beyond the control of the General
Partner or the Local General Partners may occur during the Compliance Period,
which would require the Partnership to approve the disposition of an Housing
Complex prior to the end thereof, possibly resulting in recapture of Low Income
Housing Credits.

As of March 31, 2003 the Partnership had invested in fourteen Local Limited
Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships owns a Housing Complex
that is eligible for the federal Low Income Housing Credit. Certain Local
Limited Partnerships may also benefit from government programs promoting low- or
moderate-income housing.


Certain Risks and Uncertainties



3


An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local
Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the
amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any,
on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the
following:

The Low Income Housing Credit rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance
with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Credit s and
the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Credits already taken. In most
cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Credits that an individual can use
is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last $25,000 of taxable
income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing
Complexes at a profit. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute
any cash to its investors. Low Income Housing Credits may be the only benefit
from an investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships.
Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single
Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited
diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to
pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If
foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining
future Low Income Housing Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income
Housing Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing
Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or non-managing member
of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very
limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the
Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited
Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes, are readily marketable. To the
extent the Housing Complexes receive government financing or operating
subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
difficulties in obtaining tenants for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in
obtaining rent increases; limitations on cash distributions; limitations on
sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes; limitations on transfers of interests
in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners;
limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations.
Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low Income Housing
Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Credits previously taken. The value
of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions,
including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning
policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions,
among others.

The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is
limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and
challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing
Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS
were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce
tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could
also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the
value of the Housing Complexes.

No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Investors may
be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should consider their
Units to be a long-term investment. Individual investors will have no recourse
if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited
Partners.

Exit Strategy

The IRS compliance period for low-income housing tax credit properties is
generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation
completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance
period.

With that in mind, we are continuing our review of the Partnership's holdings,
with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those that have
satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. Our review will consider many factors
including extended use requirements on the property (such as those due to
mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the
property, and the tax consequences to the investors from the sale of the
property.





4


Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, we expect to proceed with efforts to liquidate
those properties. Our objective is to maximize the investors' return wherever
possible and, ultimately, to wind down those funds that no longer provide tax
benefits to investors. To date no properties in the Partnership have been
selected.

Item 2. Properties

Through its investment in Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership holds
limited partnership interests in the Housing Complexes. The following table
reflects the status of the fourteen Housing Complexes as of the dates and for
the periods indicated.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and other discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-K contain forward
looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations subject to
uncertainties and other factors which may involve known and unknown risks that
could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from those
projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon
assumptions about future events which may not prove to be accurate.

Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward looking statements include, but are
not limited to, our future cash flows and ability to obtain sufficient
financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the low income housing tax
credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings.
Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
any future period.

Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by
cautionary statements in this Form 10-K and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included
elsewhere in this filing.

Critical Accounting Policies and Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Partnership's
most significant accounting policies, which are the most critical to aid in
fully understanding and evaluating the Company's reported financial results, and
certain of the Partnership's risks and uncertainties.

Use of 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 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.

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 Local Limited Partnerships' results of operations
and for any contributions made or distributions received. The Partnership
reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a Local Limited
Partnership for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of such investment is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If an
investment is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds
fair value. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships are
generally consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the
Partnership in acquiring the investments are capitalized as part of the
investment account and are being amortized over 30 years.

Equity in losses of the Local Limited Partnerships for each year ended March 31
have been recorded by the Partnership based on nine months of reported results
provided by the Local Limited Partnerships for each year ended December 31 and
on three months of results estimated by management of the Partnership for each
three-month period ended March 31. Management's estimate for the three-month
period is based on either actual unaudited results reported by the Local Limited
Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the Local Limited
Partnerships. Equity in losses of the Local Limited Partnerships are recognized
in the financial statements until the related investment account is reduced to a
zero balance. Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero
are not recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in
future years, the Partnership will


11


resume applying the equity method only after its share of such net income equals
the share of net losses not recognized during the period(s) the equity method
was suspended.

Distributions received from the Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for as
a reduction of the investment balance. Distributions received after the
investment has reached zero are recognized as income.

Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements as
any liability for income taxes is the obligation of the partners of the
Partnership.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local
Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the
amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any,
on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the
following:

The Low Income Housing Credit rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance
with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Credit s and
the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Credits already taken. In most
cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Credits that an individual can use
is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last $25,000 of taxable
income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing
Complexes at a profit. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute
any cash to its investors. Low Income Housing Credits may be the only benefit
from an investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships.
Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single
Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited
diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to
pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If
foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining
future Low Income Housing Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income
Housing Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing
Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or non-managing member
of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very
limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the
Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited
Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes, are readily marketable. To the
extent the Housing Complexes receive government financing or operating
subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
difficulties in obtaining tenants for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in
obtaining rent increases; limitations on cash distributions; limitations on
sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes; limitations on transfers of interests
in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners;
limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations.
Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low Income Housing
Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Credits previously taken. The value
of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions,
including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning
policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions,
among others.

The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is
limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and
challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing
Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS
were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce
tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could
also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the
value of the Housing Complexes.

No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Investors may
be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should consider their
Units to be a long-term investment. Individual investors will have no recourse
if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited
Partners.


12


To date, certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating
losses and have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partner may be
required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If
additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the
Partnership's investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be
impaired, and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.


Financial Condition

The Partnership's assets at March 31, 2003 consisted primarily of $1,006,000 in
cash and cash equivalents and investments in the fourteen Local Limited
Partnerships of $12,237,000. Liabilities at March 31, 2003 were $155,000 due to
limited partnerships, $18,000 of accrued annual management fees and expenses
paid by an affiliate of the General Partner or due to the General Partner or
affiliate.

Results of Operations

Year Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended March 31 2002. The
Partnership's net loss for the year ended March 31, 2003 was $(1,240,000),
reflecting an increase of $(409,000) from the net loss experienced for the year
ended March 31, 2002. The increase in net loss is primarily due to equity in
losses of limited partnerships which increased by $(212,000) to $(957,000) for
the year ended March 31, 2003 from $(745,000) for the year ended March 31, 2002,
along with an increase in loss from operations of $(197,000). The increase in
equity in losses of limited partnerships was mainly due to the decrease in
occupancy rate in certain Local Limited Partnerships. The increase in loss from
operations was due primarily to the write-off of advances to a limited
partnership and a decrease in interest income.

Year Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2001. The
Partnership's net loss for the year ended March 31, 2002 was $(831,000),
reflecting a decrease of $333,000 from the net loss experienced for the year
ended March 31, 2001. The decline in net loss is primarily due to equity in
losses of limited partnerships which decreased by $358,000 to $(745,000) for the
year ended March 31, 2002 from $(1,103,000) for the year ended March 31, 2001,
offset by an increase in loss from operations of $26,000. The decrease in equity
in losses of limited partnerships was mainly due to the increase in occupancy
rate in certain Local Limited Partnerships.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Year Ended March 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2002. Net cash used
during the year ended March 31, 2003 was $(216,000), compared to net cash used
for the year ended March 31, 2002 of $(94,000). Net cash flows used in investing
activities decreased by $81,000 to $(3,000) for the year ended March 31, 2003
from $(84,000) due primarily to a decrease in capital contributions paid to
Local Limited Partnerships of $83,000. Net cash flows used in operating
activities increased by $(203,000) to net cash used in operating activities of
$(213,000) for the year ended March 31, 2003 from net cash used in operating
activities of $(10,000) for the year ended March 31, 2002 as a result of certain
advances to a Local Limited Partnership that were expensed. No cash was provided
by or used in financing activities for the years ended March 31, 2003 or 2002.

Year Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2001. Net cash used
during the year ended March 31, 2002 was $(94,000), compared to net cash used
for the year ended March 31, 2001 of $(409,000). Net cash flows used in
investing activities decreased by $326,000 to $(84,000) for the year ended March
31, 2002 from $(410,000) due primarily to a decrease in capital contributions
paid to Local Limited Partnerships of $324,000. Net cash flows from operating
activities decreased by $11,000 to net cash used in operating activities of
$(10,000) for the year ended March 31, 2001 from net cash provided by operating
activities of $1,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001. No cash was provided by
or used in financing activities for the years ended March 31, 2002 or 2001.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the Partnership advanced
approximately $168,000 to one Local Limited Partnership, Ashford Place, LP, in
which the Partnership is a limited partner. These advances were used to pay for
repairs and fund certain recurring and nonrecurring operating expenses. The
Partnership determined the recoverability of these advances to be doubtful and,
accordingly, has fully reserved the amounts due from the affiliate as of March
31, 2003.

13


The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at March 31, 2003, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements. This excludes amounts owed to Associates by the
Partnership disclosed below.

Future Contractual Cash Obligations





The following table summarizes our future contractual cash obligations as of March 31, 2003:

(1) Asset Management Fees are payable annually until termination of the
Partnership, which is to occur no later than 2050. The estimate of the fees
payable included herein assumes the retention of the Partnership's interest
in all Housing Complexes until 2050. Amounts due to the General Partners as
of March 31, 2003 have been included in the 2004 column.

For additional information on our Asset Management Fees and Capital
Contributions Payable to Lower Tier Partnerships, see Notes 3 and 5 to the
financial statements included elsewhere herein.

Exit Strategy

The IRS compliance period for low-income housing tax credit properties is
generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation
completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance
period.

With that in mind, we are continuing our review of the Partnership's holdings,
with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those that have
satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. Our review will consider many factors
including extended use requirements on the property (such as those due to
mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the
property, and the tax consequences to the investors from the sale of the
property.

Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, we expect to proceed with efforts to liquidate
those properties. Our objective is to maximize the investors' return wherever
possible and, ultimately, to wind down those funds that no longer provide tax
benefits to investors. To date no properties in the Partnership have been
selected.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations", which requires that the fair value of a liability for
an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is
incurred with the associated asset retirement costs being capitalized as a part
of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 also includes
disclosure requirements that provide a description of asset retirement
obligations and reconciliation of changes in the components of those
obligations. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This standard was effective for the


14


Partnership's financial statements beginning January 1, 2002. The implementation
of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position or results of operations.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 rescinded three previously issued statements and amended SFAS No.
13, "Accounting for Leases." The statement provides reporting standards for debt
extinguishments and provides accounting standards for certain lease
modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions.
The statement is effective for certain lease transactions occurring after May
15, 2002 and all other provisions of the statement shall be effective for
financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The implementation of SFAS
No. 145 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position
or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which updates accounting and reporting
standards for personnel and operational restructurings. The Partnership adopted
SFAS No. 146 for exit, disposal or other restructuring activities initiated
after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material
effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a
material impact on the Partnership's finacial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment to SFAS No. 123." SFAS
No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the
fair value based method on accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The
adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The adoption of FIN 46 did not
have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
V, L.P., Series 4 (a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related statements of operations, partners'
equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001. 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. A significant portion of the financial
statements of the limited partnerships in which the Partnership is a limited
partner were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership accounts for
its investments in limited partnerships using the equity method. The portion of
the Partnership's investment in limited partnerships audited by other auditors
represented 79% and 80% of the total assets of the Partnership at March 31, 2003
and 2002, respectively, and 97%, 98% and 100% of the Partnership's equity in
losses of limited partnerships for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and
2001, respectively. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
in the financial statements for the limited partnerships which were audited by
others, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits 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 audits and the reports of
the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4 (a
California Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002
and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Years Ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------

Organization
- ------------

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on July 26, 1995 under the laws of the state of
California, and commenced operations on July 1, 1996. The Partnership was formed
to invest primarily in other limited partnerships and limited liability
companies (the "Local Limited Partnerships") which own and operate multi-family
housing complexes (the "Housing Complexes") that are eligible for low income
housing credits. The local general partners (the "Local General Partners") of
each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for maintaining, operating
and managing the Housing Complex.

The general partner is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") (the "General Partner"), a
California limited partnership. The chairman and president own substantially all
of the outstanding stock of WNC. The business of the Partnership is conducted
primarily through WNC, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2050,
unless terminated prior to that date, pursuant to the partnership agreement or
law.

The financial statements include only activity relating to the business of the
Partnership, and do not give effect to any assets that the partners may have
outside of their interests in the Partnership, or to any obligations, including
income taxes, of the partners.

The partnership agreement authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). The offering of Units concluded on July 11, 1997 at which
time 22,000 Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $21,914,830, net
of discounts of $79,550 for volume purchases and $5,620 for dealer discounts,
had been accepted. The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits
and losses, taxable income and losses and in cash available for distribution
from the Partnership and tax credits. 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 proceeds
equal to its capital contribution and a subordinated disposition fee (as
described in Note 3) from the remainder, 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Risks and Uncertainties
- -----------------------

An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local
Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the
amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any,
on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the
following:

The Low Income Housing Credit rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance
with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Credit s and
the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Credits already taken. In most
cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Credits that an individual can use
is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last $25,000 of taxable
income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing
Complexes at a profit. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute
any cash to its investors. Low Income Housing Credits may be the only benefit
from an investment in the Partnership.

The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships.
Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single
Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited
diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to
pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If
foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining
future Low Income Housing Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income
Housing Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing
Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or non-managing member
of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very
limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the
Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited
Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes, are readily marketable. To the
extent the Housing Complexes receive government financing or operating
subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
difficulties in obtaining tenants for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in
obtaining rent increases; limitations on cash distributions; limitations on
sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes; limitations on transfers of interests
in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners;
limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations.
Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low Income Housing
Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Credits previously taken. The value
of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions,
including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning
policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions,
among others.

The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is
limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and
challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing
Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS
were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce
tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could
also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the
value of the Housing Complexes.

No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Investors may
be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should consider their
Units to be a long-term investment. Individual investors will have no recourse
if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited
Partners.

WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND V, L.P., SERIES 4
(A California Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Years Ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Exit Strategy
- -------------

The IRS compliance period for low-income housing tax credit properties is
generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation
completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance
period.

With that in mind, the Partnership is continuing to review the Partnership's
holdings, with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those
that have satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. The Partnership's review
will consider many factors including extended use requirements on the property
(such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the
condition of the property, and the tax consequences to the investors from the
sale of the property.

Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with
efforts to liquidate those properties. The Partnership's objective is to
maximize the investors' return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down
those funds that no longer provide tax benefits to investors. To date no
properties in the Partnership have been selected.

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 Local Limited Partnerships' results of operations
and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership
reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a Local Limited
Partnership for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of such investment is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If an
investment is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds
fair value. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships are
generally consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the
Partnership in acquiring the investments are capitalized as part of the
investment account and are being amortized over 30 years (see Note 2).

Losses from Local Limited Partnerships for the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002
and 2001 have been recorded by the Partnership based on nine months of reported
results provided by the Local Limited Partnerships and on three months of
results estimated by management of the Partnership. Management's estimate for
the three-month period is based on either actual unaudited results reported by
the Local Limited Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the
Local Limited Partnerships. Losses from Local Limited Partnerships allocated to
the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance
would be adjusted below zero. As soon as the investment balance reaches zero,
amortization of the related costs of acquiring the investment are accelerated to
the extent of losses available.

Offering Expenses
- -----------------

Offering expenses consist of underwriting commissions, legal fees, printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in connection with selling
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 amounted to
$2,960,328 at the end of all periods presented.

For The Years Ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------

Use of 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 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of
March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------

At March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership maintained cash balances at a
certain financial institution in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit
- ---------------------------------

Net loss per limited partner unit is calculated pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per unit
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.
Calculation of diluted net loss per unit is not required.

Reporting Comprehensive Income
- ------------------------------

The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income established standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income
during the years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, as defined by SFAS No.
130.

New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations", which requires that the fair value of a liability for
an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is
incurred with the associated asset retirement costs being capitalized as a part
of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 also includes
disclosure requirements that provide a description of asset retirement
obligations and reconciliation of changes in the components of those
obligations. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June
15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the
Partnerhip's financial position or results of operations.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets," which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the
impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This standard was effective for the
Partnership's financial statements beginning January 1, 2002. The implementation
of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position or results of operations.

- --------------------------------------------------------------

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No.
4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections."
SFAS No. 145 rescinded three previously issued statements and amended SFAS No.
13, "Accounting for Leases." The statement provides reporting standards for debt
extinguishments and provides accounting standards for certain lease
modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions.
The statement is effective for certain lease transactions occurring after May
15, 2002 and all other provisions of the statement shall be effective for
financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The implementation of SFAS
No. 145 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position
or results of operations.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," which updates accounting and reporting
standards for personnel and operational restructurings. The Partnership adopted
SFAS No. 146 for exit, disposal or other restructuring activities initiated
after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material
effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a
material impact on the Partnership's finacial position or results of operations.

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment to SFAS No. 123." SFAS
No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the
fair value based method on accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The
adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's
financial position or results of operations.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"),
"Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The adoption of FIN 46 did not
have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

For The Years Ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------

As of the periods presented, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership
interests in fourteen Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing
Complex consisting of an aggregate of 785 apartment units. As of March 31, 2003,
construction or rehabilitation of all of the Housing Complexes was complete. The
respective general partners of the Local Limited Partnerships manage the
day-to-day operations of the entities. Significant Local Limited Partnership
business decisions require approval from the Partnership. The Partnership, as a
limited partner, is generally entitled to approximately 99%, as specified in the
Local Limited Partnership agreements, of the operating profits and losses,
taxable income and losses and tax credits of the Local Limited Partnerships,
except for one of the investments in which it is entitled to 49.5% of such
amounts.

The Partnership's investments in limited partnerships as reflected in the
balance sheets at March 31, 2003 and 2002 are approximately $1,564,000 and
$1,653,000, respectively, greater than the Partnership's equity at the preceding
December 31 as shown in the Local Limited Partnerships' combined financial
statements presented below. This difference is primarily due to acquisition,
selection, and other costs related to the acquisition of the investments which
have been capitalized in the Partnership's investment account and to capital
contributions payable to the limited partnerships which were netted against
partner capital in the Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements (see
Note 5). The Partnership's investment is also lower than the Partnership's
equity as shown in the Local Limited Partnership's combined financial statements
due to the estimated losses recorded by the Partnership for the three month
period ended March 31.

Equity in losses of the Local Limited Partnerships is recognized in the
financial statements until the related investment account is reduced to a zero
balance. Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not
recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years,
the Partnership will resume applying the equity method only after its share of
such net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the
period(s) the equity method was suspended.

Distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for as a
reduction of the investment balance. Distributions received after the investment
has reached zero are recognized as income.

At March 31, 2003, the investment account in one certain Local Limited
Partnership had reached a zero balance. Consequently, a portion of the
Partnership's estimate of its share of losses for the year ended March 31, 2003
amounted to approximately $13,000, has not been recognized.

The following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
limited partnerships for the periods presented:

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses
and have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partner may be
required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If
additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the
Partnership's investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be
impaired, and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has paid or is
obligated to the General Partner or their affiliates for the following items:

Acquisition fees of up to 7.5% of the gross proceeds from the sale of
Units as compensation for services rendered in connection with the
acquisition of interests in Local Limited Partnerships. As of March
31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership incurred acquisition fees of
$1,630,375. Accumulated amortization of these capitalized costs was
$338,249 and $270,605 as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Of
the accumulated amortization recorded on the balance sheet at March
31, 2003, $13,298, $0 and $0 of the related expense was reflected as
equity in losses of limited partnerships during the years ended March
31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, to reduce the respective net
acquisition fee component of investments in Local Limited Partnerships
to zero for those Local Limited Partnerships which would otherwise be
below a zero balance.

Reimbursement of costs incurred by the General Partner in connection
with the acquisition of interests in Local Limited Partnerships. These
reimbursements have not exceeded 1% of the gross proceeds. As of March
31, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership incurred acquisition costs of
$156,589, which have been included in investments in limited
partnerships. Accumulated amortization was $29,780 and $24,560 as of

on changes in 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 reserves of the Partnership
of up to 5% of gross proceeds plus its allocable percentage of the
mortgage debt encumbering the housing complexes) of the Local Limited
Partnerships. Management fees of $60,500 were incurred for each of the
years ended March 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, of which $60,500, $45,375

partnerships achieving certain development and operating benchmarks (generally
within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, the Partnership advanced
approximately $168,000 to one Local Limited Partnership, Ashford Place, LP, in
which the Partnership is a limited partner. These advances were used to pay for
repairs and fund certain recurring and nonrecurring operating expenses. The
Partnership determined the recoverability of these advances to be doubtful and,
accordingly, has fully reserved the amounts due from the affiliate as of March
31, 2003.

consolidation or otherwise, acquired substantially all of its assets,
stock or other evidence of equity interest and continued its business,

Item 14. Controls and Procedures

Associates, on behalf of the Partnership, maintains disclosure controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management as appropriate to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the
disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls
and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management
necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit
relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on their most recent evaluation, which was completed within 90 days of the
filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) are effective. There were no significant changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal
controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.
