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".) Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable
Trust, owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of Associates. John B. Lester, Jr.
was the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester
Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of Associates. Wilfred N. Cooper,
Jr., President of Associates, owns 2.1% 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, as amended by Supplements to the Prospectus thereto (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.

3

As of March 31, 2000 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.

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 multi-unit 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 Housing Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be 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 Local Limited Partnership Interests; limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are subject to mortgage
indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership does not make its mortgage
payments, the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing Complex
and Low Income Housing Credits. As a limited partner or non-managing member of
the Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights
with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships, and will rely
totally on the general partners or managing members of the Local Limited
Partnerships for management of the Local 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 Housing
Complexes and the Partnership. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters, which
might be uninsurable. Because the Partnership's 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 the anticipated Low Income
Housing Credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition, Limited Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the Low Income Housing Credit are complicated, and the use of credits can be
limited. The only material benefit from an investment in Units may be the Low
Income Housing Credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop. All Partnership management
decisions are made by the General Partner.

As a limited partner or non-managing member, the Partnership's liability for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment. The
Local General Partners of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility
for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Housing
Complexes.

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 Operation

Financial Condition

The Partnership's assets at March 31, 2000 consisted primarily of $1,725,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the fourteen Local Limited Partnerships of
$15,243,000. Liabilities at March 31, 2000 were $673,000 due to limited
partnerships, $2,000 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, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998. The
Partnership's net loss for the year ended March 31, 2000 was $(1,201,000),
reflecting an increase of $286,000 from the net loss experienced for the year
ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net loss is primarily due to equity in
losses from limited partnerships which increased by $136,000 to $(1,146,000) for
the year ended march 31, 2000 from $(1,010,000) for the year ended December 31,
1998. The increase in equity in losses from limited partnerships is due to the
acquisition of certain Local Limited Partnerships in 1998. The losses from these
Local Limited Partnerships were significantly less during 1998 as only a partial
year of operations was allocable to the Partnership. As a result, losses
recognized by the Partnership from these Local Limited Partnerships increased
for the year ended March 31, 2000. In addition, the Partnership experienced a
decrease in interest income of $123,000 resulting from a decrease in cash due to
capital contributions paid to Local Limited Partnerships of $1,619,000. The
Partnership also experienced an increase in operating expenses paid to third
parties of $30,000.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$(249,000), reflecting an increase of $114,000 from the net loss experienced for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The change is primarily due to an
increase in equity in losses from limited partnerships of $95,000, an increase
in operating expenses of $7,000 offset by a decrease in interest income of
$10,000.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. The
Partnership's net loss for 1998 was $(915,000), reflecting an increase of
$678,000 from the net loss experienced in 1997. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to an increase in equity in losses from limited partnerships of
$675,000, an increase in operating expenses of $8,000, offset by an increase in
interest income of $5,000.

Cash Flows

Year Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998. Net cash
used during the year ended March 31, 2000 was $(1,736,000), compared to net cash
used for the year ended December 31, 1998 of $(2,089,000). Net cash flows from
operating activities decreased by $420,000 to net cash used in operating
activities of $(122,000) for the year ended March 31, 2000 compared to net cash
provided by operating activities of $298,000 for the year ended December 31,
1998. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in cash paid to the General
Partner for management fees and other accrued fees and costs of $248,000, a
decrease in interest income of $123,000, a decrease in collections of interest
receivable of $77,000 and an increase in cash paid to third parties for
operating expenses of $30,000, offset by receivables collected from affiliates
of $53,000. Net cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $921,000 to
$(1,614,000) for the year ended March 31, 2000 from $(2,535,000) due primarily
to a decrease in capital contributions paid to Local Limited Partnerships of
$1,105,000 and a decrease in cash paid for capitalized acquisition fees and
costs of $38,000, offset by a decrease in receivables collected from affiliates
of $224,000. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $147,000 to
$0 for the year ended March 31, 2000 from $147,000 for the year ended December
31, 1998 primarily due to a decrease in notes receivable from investors of
$175,000 offset by a decrease in cash paid for offering costs of $28,000

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
Net decrease in cash during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$(357,000), compared to a net decrease in cash for the three months ended March
31, 1998 of $(588,000). The change was due primarily to a decrease in cash used
for investing activities of $301,000, an increase in cash provided by repayments
of loans receivable of $79,000 offset by a decrease in capital contributions of
$150,000.

10

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997.
Net cash used in 1998 was $(2,089,000), compared to net cash provided in 1997 of
$1,990,000. The change was primarily due to a decrease in capital contributions
of $14,214,000, a decrease in cash collected on notes receivable of $12,000.
These decreases in cash collected were offset by a decrease in offering costs of
$1,801,000, a decrease in advances from the General Partner or affiliate of
$267,000, a decrease in cash expended on investing activities of $7,874,000, an
increase in distributions from limited partnerships of $4,000, an increase in
accrued fees and expenses due to the General Partner and affiliate of $41,000, a
decrease in operating costs paid to third parties of $8,000, an increase in
interest income of $6,000, and an increase in interest received of $149,000.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at March 31, 2000, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.

then used to generate reports to investors and regulatory agencies, including
the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.

Non-IT Systems. The Partnership also relies on the non-IT systems of WNC. Non-IT
systems include machinery and equipment such as telephones, voice mail and
electronic postage equipment. The non-IT systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.

Service Providers. WNC also relies on the IT and non-IT systems of service
providers. Service providers include utility companies, financial institutions,
telecommunications carriers, municipalities, and other outside vendors. WNC has
obtained verbal assurances from its material service providers (electrical power
provider, financial institutions and telecommunications carriers) that their IT
and non-IT systems are year 2000 compliant. To date, WNC has not encountered
significant year 2000 issues or business disruptions from its service providers.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $25,000.

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

Although WNC has encountered no significant year 2000 issues to date, the most
reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance of systems of the
service providers noted above would be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption could, in turn, lead to delays in performing
reporting and fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst
case scenario would be the replacement of a service provider. These delays would
likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on the
Partnership or WNC.

Local Limited Partnerships

Status of Readiness

To date, WNC and the Partnership have encountered no significant year 2000
issues with respect to the Local Limited Partnerships.

11




Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

There has been and will be no cost to the Partnership as a result of assessing
year 2000 issues for the Local Limited Partnerships. Although no significant
year 2000 issues have been encountered to date, the cost to deal with potential
year 2000 issues of the Local Limited Partnerships cannot be estimated at this
time.

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

Although no significant year 2000 issues have been encountered to date, there
can be no assurance that the Partnership will be unaffected by year 2000 issues.
The most reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance will be the
disruption of normal business operations for the Local Limited Partnerships,
including but not limited to the possible failure to properly collect rents and
meet their obligations in a timely manner. This disruption would, in turn, lead
to delays by the Local Limited Partnerships in performing reporting and
fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst-case scenario
would include the initiation of foreclosure proceedings on the property by
mortgage debt holders. Under these circumstances, WNC or its affiliates will
take actions necessary to minimize the risk of foreclosure, including the
removal and replacement of a Local General Partner by the Partnership. These
delays would likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on
the Partnership or WNC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



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, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1998, and the related statements of
operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended March
31, 2000, the three months ended March 31, 1999, and the year ended December 31,
1998. 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 3 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 63%, 63% and 60% of the total assets of the Partnership at March 31,
2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1998, 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 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 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, 2000 and 1999, and December 31,
1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended
March 31, 2000, three months ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended December
31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

statements, are accounted for by the equity method. The investment in these
limited partnerships represented 69% of the total assets of WNC Housing Tax
Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 4 at December 31, 1997. A substantial portion of the
financial statements of the limited partnerships were audited by other auditors
whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

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 Complex") 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. Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper
Revocable Trust, owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of WNC. John B. Lester was
the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester
Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of WNC. Wilfred N. Cooper, Jr.,
President of WNC, owns 2.1% of the outstanding stock of WNC.

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 discount 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 4) 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.

Change in Reporting Year End

In 1999, the Partnership has elected to change its year end for financial
reporting purposes from December 31 to March 31. All financial information
reflected in the financial statements and related footnotes has been adjusted
for this change in year end except for the combined condensed financial
information relating to the Local Limited Partnerships included in Note 3.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Risks and Uncertainties

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 multi-unit 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 Housing Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be 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 Local Limited Partnership Interests; limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are or will be subject
to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership does not make its
mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing
Complex and low-income housing credits. As a limited partner of the Local
Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect
to management of the Local Limited Partnerships, and will rely totally on the
Local General Partners of the Local Limited Partnerships for management of the
Local 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 Housing Complexes and the
Partnership. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership is subject to risks
relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters, which might be
uninsurable. Because the Partnership's 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 the anticipated low income housing
credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition, Limited Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the low income housing credit are complicated, and the use of credits can be
limited. The only material benefit from an investment in Units may be the low
income housing credits. There are limits in the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop. All management decisions will
be made by the General Partner.

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 Partnership's results of operations
and for any distributions received. The accounting policies of the Local Limited
Partnerships are 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 3).

Losses from limited partnerships for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
have been recorded by the Partnership based on reported results provided by the
Local Limited Partnerships. Losses from limited partnerships for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 have been estimated by the management of the
Partnership. Losses from Local Limited Partnerships for the year ended March 31,
2000 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. Losses from Local Limited
Partnerships allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that
the investment balance would be adjusted below zero.

For The Year Ended March 31, 2000,
For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

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.

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.

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, 2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1998, the Partnership had no cash
equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 2000, the Partnership maintained cash balances at a certain
financial institution in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Loss Per Limited Partnership Unit

Net loss per limited partnership 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

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes
standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be included in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive
income includes net income as well as certain items that are reported directly
within a separate component of partners' equity and bypass net income. The
Partnership adopted the provisions of this statement in 1998. For the years
presented, the Partnership has no elements of other comprehensive income, as
defined by SFAS No. 130.

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain Local
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership may invest. These loans are
generally applied against the first capital contribution due if the Partnership
ultimately invests in such entities. In the event that the Partnership does not
invest in such entities, the loans are to be repaid with interest at a rate
which is equal to the rate charged to the holder. A loan receivable with a
balance of $91,000 at December 31, 1998, was collectible from one Local Limited
Partnership and has been partially repaid to the Partnership as of March 31,
2000 and 1999.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of the periods presented, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership
interests in 14 Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing
Complex consisting of an aggregate of 784 apartment units. As of March 31, 2000
construction or rehabilitation of one of the Housing Complexes was still in
process. 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, 2000 and 1999 are approximately $2,143,000 and
$2,611,000, 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 by limited partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance. Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are recognized as income. As of March 31, 2000, no investment accounts in
Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance.

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.
