Item 1. Business

PART I.

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, V, L.P., Series 4 (the "Partnership") or ("Series
4") was formed under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on July 26,
1995 and commenced operations on July 1, 1996. The Partnership was formed to
invest primarily in other limited partnerships which will own and operate
multi-family housing complexes that will qualify for low income housing credits
(the "Low Income Housing Credit").

The general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. (the "General
Partner".) Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 70%
of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. John B. Lester, Jr. is the
original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester Family
Trust, 30% of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. The business of
the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partner as the
Partnership has no employees of its own.

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
at the end of the 15-year period. If a Local Limited Partnership is unable to
sell an Apartment Complex, it is anticipated that the Local General Partner will
either continue to operate such Apartment Complex or take such other actions as
the Local General Partner believes to be in the best interest of the Local
Limited Partnership. In addition, circumstances beyond the control of the
General Partner may occur during the Compliance Period which would require the
Partnership to approve the disposition of an Apartment Complex prior to the end
thereof.

2


As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership has invested in 11 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, 1997, eight of the Apartment Complexes acquired by the
Partnership were completed and in operation. Two of the Apartment Complexes are
still under construction. One apartment complex (Ogallala) has not started
construction. The Apartment Complexes were developed by the respective Local
General Partners who acquired the sites and applied for applicable mortgages and
subsidies. The Partnership and WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3
("Series 3") each acquired equal limited partnership interests in Blessed Rock.
(The General Partner of the Partnership is also the general partner of Series
3). The Partnership became the principal limited partner in the remaining Local
Limited Partnerships pursuant to arm's-length negotiations with the Local
General Partner. As a limited partner, the Partnership's liability for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment. The
Local General Partners of the Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility
for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Apartment
Complex.

The following is a schedule of the status as of December 31, 1997, of the
Apartment Complexes owned by Local Limited Partnerships in which Series 4 was a
limited partner as of December 31, 1997.
