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

General
- -------

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine
months ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2002.

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

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3 ("the Partnership") is a
California Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California
on March 28, 1995, and commenced operations on October 24, 1995. The Partnership
was formed to acquire limited partnership interests in other limited
partnerships or limited liability companies ("Local Limited Partnerships") which
own multifamily apartment complexes that are eligible for low-income housing
federal and, in some cases, California income tax credits (the "Low-income
Housing Credit").

WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates") is the general partner of the Partnership
(the "General Partner"). 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.

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 activities relating to the business of the
Partnership, and do not give effect to the assets that the partners may have
outside of their interests in the Partnerships, 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 in January 1996, at which
time 18,000 Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $17,558,985, net
of $441,015 of discounts for volume purchases, had been accepted. The General
Partner has 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and
losses, 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
- -----------------------

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 on 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 (Note 3).

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 15% (including
sales commissions) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are
reflected as a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $2,132,000
at the end of all periods presented.

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 highly liquid investments with remaining maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31
and March 31, 2002, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.

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 income 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
for all the periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

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

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001, and generally, is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 144
is not expected to 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." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. SFAS 146 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

NOTE 2 - UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS IN ALLIANCE, EVERGREEN AND
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HASTINGS: IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENTS
------------------------------------

The Partnership had investments accounted for under the equity method,
consisting of 99% limited partnership interests in each of Alliance Apartments
I, Limited Partnership ("Alliance"), Evergreen Apartments I, Limited Partnership
("Evergreen") and Hastings Apartments I, Limited Partnership ("Hastings").

During the year ended March 31, 2000, Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings were
experiencing operational difficulties and negative cash flows from operations,
and ceased paying their lenders. Foreclosure procedures were commenced by two of
these Local Limited Partnerships' lenders. Management performed an evaluation of
the Partnership's remaining investment balances in Alliance, Evergreen and
Hastings, including the cash advances noted above and other anticipated costs
and determined that an impairment adjustment was necessary. An impairment loss
of $995,804 was recognized at March 31, 2000. This impairment loss included
$644,589 in remaining book value of the Partnership's investments in Alliance,
Evergreen and Hastings, $205,080 and $74,631 of cash advances, a $50,000 accrual
for anticipated legal costs, and $21,504 of estimated accounting and other
related costs.

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership, Alliance, Hastings, and a WNC
subsidiary executed a work-out agreement with their lender (the "Agreement"),
which was effective December 14, 2001. The balance of the indebtedness due and
owing to the lender by Alliance was satisfied by the execution of two promissory
notes. The first note totals $116,000, bears interest at 7% per annum, and
requires principal and interest payments totaling $800 per month through
February 2011, at which date the unpaid principal balance is due. The second
note totals $328,000, bears interest at 1% per annum, and has payments due
monthly out of available cash flow, as defined, with the unpaid principal
balance due February 2011. The balance of the indebtedness due and owing to the
lender by Hastings was also satisfied by the execution of two promissory notes.
The first note totals $165,000, bears interest at 7% per annum, and requires
principal and interest payments totaling $1,100 per month through September
2011, at which date the unpaid principal is due. The second note totals
$261,000, bears interest at 1% per annum, and has payments due monthly out of
available cash flow, as defined, with the unpaid principal balance due September
2011. The Partnership and a WNC subsidiary have executed a guarantee for the
payment of both notes of Alliance and Hastings. In addition, several other
commitments were made. Alliance and Hastings executed a grant deed to the lender
in the event that either entity defaults under the terms and provisions of the
notes. The deeds are held in escrow, and if Alliance or Hastings defaults on
either note, the lender may, at its option, record the respective deed. In
addition, the Partnership has assigned the lender as additional collateral its
residual value interests, as defined, in all of the Local Limited Partnerships.
The Partnership and the Local Limited Partnerships are prohibited from selling,
assigning, transferring or further encumbering the Housing Complexes retained by
each Local Limited Partnership.

As a result of the operating difficulties mentioned above, there is uncertainty
as to additional costs, if any, that the Partnership may incur in connection
with its investment in Alliance and Hastings and as to whether the Partnership
will ultimately retain its interest in these Local Limited Partnerships. In the
event the Partnership does not successfully retain its interest in Alliance and
Hastings, the Partnership would be exposed to the cessation and recapture of the
related tax credits. The Partnership's financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On July 19, 2001, Evergreen's Housing Complex was sold for a gross sales price
of $1,300,000, which after payment of its outstanding loans and closing costs,
yielded net proceeds to the Partnership of approximately $170,000 in the form of
a return of advances. As the investment in Evergreen together with cash advances
had been previously impaired, the entire proceeds were reflected as a gain on
sale of investments in Limited Partnerships of $169,691, for the period ended
March 31, 2002. Due to the sale of the property, approximately $428,000
(unaudited) of tax credits are no longer available to the Partnership's
investors ($23.80 per Limited Partner Unit). In addition, there can be no
assurance that tax credits and loss deductions previously taken will not be
subject to recapture in the future.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership has limited partnership interests in 17
Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing Complex consisting of
an aggregate of 1,120 apartment units. 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
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 49.49% of such amounts.

Equity in losses of 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.

Following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in Local
Limited Partnerships for the periods presented below:

Investments in limited partnerships - beginning of period $ 8,970,406 $ 10,245,015

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 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------

The Partnership has no officers, employees, or directors. However, under the
terms of the Partnership Agreement the Partnership is obligated to the General
Partner or Associates for the following fees:

(a) Annual Asset Management Fee. An annual asset management fee of the greater
of (i) $2,000 per multi-family housing complex or (ii) 0.275% of Gross
Proceeds. The base fee amount will be adjusted annually based on changes in
the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the annual asset
management fee exceed 0.2% of Invested Assets. "Invested Assets" means the
sum of the Partnership's Investments in Local Limited Partnerships and the
Partnership's allocable share of the amount of mortgages on and other
indebtedness related to the Housing Complexes. Asset management fees of
$37,125 were incurred during each of the nine months ended December 31,
2002 and 2001. The Partnership paid the General Partner or its affiliates
$0 of these fees during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001.

(b) A subordinated disposition fee in an amount equal to 1% of the sales price
of real estate sold. Payment of this fee is subordinated to the limited
partners receiving a preferred return of 14% through December 31, 2006 and
6% thereafter (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and is payable only
if the General Partner or its affiliates render services in the sales
effort.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------

During 2000, WNC identified a potential problem with a developer who, at the
time, was the local general partner in nine Local Limited Partnerships. The
Partnership has 99% limited partnership investments in nine of those nine Local
Limited Partnerships. Those investments are Alliance Apartments I, Evergreen
Apartments I and Hastings Apartments I. All the properties continue to
experience operating deficits. The local general partner ceased funding the
operating deficits, which placed the Local Limited Partnerships in jeopardy of
foreclosure. Consequently, WNC voted to remove the local general partner and the
management company from the Local Limited Partnerships. After the local general
partner contested its removal, WNC commenced legal action on behalf of the Local
Limited Partnerships and was successful in getting a receiver appointed to
manage the Local Limited Partnerships and an unaffiliated entity appointed as
property manager. WNC was subsequently successful in attaining a summary
judgment to confirm the removal of the local general partner, the receiver was
discharged and WNC now controls all nine of the Local Limited Partnerships.

The nine Local Limited Partnerships (hereinafter referred to as "Defendants")
were defendants in a separate lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by eight other
partnerships in which the local general partner of the Local Limited
Partnerships is or was involved (the "Plaintiffs"). The Plaintiffs allege that
the local general partner accepted funds from the Plaintiffs and improperly
loaned these funds to the Defendants. In July 2001, this lawsuit was settled for
an aggregate amount of $35,000. The Partnerships allocated share of $17,500 had
been accrued in full at March 31, 2001 and paid in full at March 31, 2002. The
Partnership has a lawsuit against the old general partner.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Cascade Pines, L.P.
II ("Cascade"). Cascade is a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit and related
injury lawsuits. Cascade carries general liability and extended liability
insurance. The wrongful death claim has been compromised, released and
dismissed. Liability insurance covered the settlement. In the related injury
lawsuits, the insurers for both the general liability, limited to $2 million,
and extended liability insurance, limited to a further $15 million, have
acknowledged coverage for the potential loss, should the outcome be unfavorable.
Discovery for the related injury lawsuits is ongoing; management of Cascade

and WNC are unable to determine the outcome of these lawsuits at this time or
their impact, if any, on the Partnership's financial statements. Should Cascade
be unsuccessful in its defense and the insurance coverage proves to be
inadequate, Cascade's assets could be subject to an adverse judgment. This could
result in the loss of the Cascade investment, which could result in the
recapture of tax credits and certain prior tax deductions. As a result, there is
an uncertainty as to the Partnership's ability to ultimately realize the
carrying value of its investment in Cascade, which totaled $284,857 at December
31, 2002. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments
that may result from any unfavorable outcome that may occur upon the ultimate
resolution of this uncertainty.

One Local Limited Partnership, Patten Towers L.P. II ("Patten Towers"), in which
the Partnership owns a 99% interest, has a promissory note payable aggregating
approximately $6,025,000 as of December 31, 2002 which was funded with proceeds
from the issuance of Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds as of December 31, 2001.
Patten Towers failed to make timely principal payments of approximately $233,000
for the year ended December 31, 2001 in accordance with the note payable.
Consequently, the Local Limited Partnership is in default of its bond covenants
and the property could be foreclosed on by the Bond Trustee to satisfy its
obligations under the bonds. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the
Local Limited Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Patten
Towers is working to refinance the property and to payoff the bonds, but as of
December 4, 2002 the past due principal payments owed have not been paid, and
the bonds are fully payable under the event of default. The lender is working
with Patten Towers to assist in improving property operations and has held off
pursuing foreclosure action against the property. There can be no assurances
that Patten Towers will be successful in its refinancing. Accordingly, Patten
Towers is subject to the risk of foreclosure and sale of the property by the
lender, which would result in the loss and potential recapture of certain tax
losses and the tax credits. As a result, there is an uncertainty as to the
Partnership's ability to ultimately realize the carrying value of its investment
in Patten Towers, which totaled $1,496,337 at December 31, 2002. The
accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that may result
from any unfavorable outcome that may occur upon the ultimate resolution of this
uncertainty. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership had advanced $132,473 to
Patten Towers to facilitate a workout plan. A promissory note was executed by
the Partnership and Patten Towers for the aforementioned advances totaling
$132,473 plus interest equal to 10% per annum, payable by Patten Towers on
demand or by August 9, 2012.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Heritage Apartments,
L.P. ("Heritage"). Heritage is a defendant in several wrongful death lawsuits
and related injury lawsuits. Heritage carries general liability and extended
liability insurance. Discovery for these lawsuits is ongoing, but the management
of Heritage and WNC are unable to determine the outcome of these lawsuits at
this time or their impact, if any, on the Partnership's financial statements.
Should Heritage be unsuccessful in its defense and the insurer denies coverage
or the insurance coverage proves to be inadequate, the Partnership may be
required to sell its investment or may otherwise lose its investment in
Heritage. Loss of the Heritage investment could result in the cessation and
recapture of tax credits and certain prior tax deductions.

One Local Limited Partnership, Hastings Apartments I, L.P. ("Hastings"),
received a default notice on a loan to the City of Hastings (the "City"). An
affiliate of the sponser has been named the successor general partner of
Hastings. WNC is negotiating with the City to re-amortize the loan.

The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund its
operations. WNC & Associates, Inc. has agreed to provide advances sufficient
enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the
Partnership through January 1, 2004.

Item 2. 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-Q 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-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the condensed Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.

The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
nine months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, and should be read in conjunction
with the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included within
this report.

Uncertainty and Commitments with Respect to Investments in Alliance, Evergreen
and Hastings

The Partnership has nine investments accounted for under the equity method,
consisting of 99% limited partnership interests in each of Alliance Apartments
I, Limited Partnership ("Alliance"), Evergreen Apartments I, Limited Partnership
("Evergreen") and Hastings Apartments I, Limited Partnership ("Hastings").

During the year ended March 31, 2000, Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings were
experiencing operational difficulties and negative cash flows from operations,
and ceased paying their lenders. Foreclosure procedures were commenced by these
nine Local Limited Partnerships' lenders. Management performed an evaluation of
the Partnership's remaining investment balances in Alliance, Evergreen and
Hastings, including any anticipated costs and determined that an impairment
adjustment was necessary. An impairment loss of $995,804 was recognized at March
31, 2000. This impairment loss included $644,589 in remaining book value of the
Partnership's investments in Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings, $205,080 and
$74,631 of cash advances, a $50,000 accrual for anticipated legal costs, and
$21,504 of estimated accounting and other related costs.

As a result of the foregoing, the Partnership, Alliance, Hastings, and a WNC
subsidiary executed a work-out agreement with their lender (the "Agreement"),
which was effective December 14, 2001. The balance of the indebtedness due and
owing to the lender by Alliance was satisfied by the execution of two promissory
notes. The first note totals $116,000, bears interest at 7% per annum, and
requires principal and interest payments totaling $800 per month through
February 2011, at which date the unpaid principal balance is due. The second
note totals $328,000, bears interest at 1% per annum, and has payments due
monthly out of available cash flow, as defined, with the unpaid principal
balance due February 2011. The balance of the indebtedness due and owing to the
lender by Hastings was also satisfied by the execution of two promissory notes.
The first note totals $165,000, bears interest at 7% per annum, and requires
principal and interest payments totaling $1,100 per month through September
2011, at which date the unpaid principal is due. The second note totals
$261,000, bears interest at 1% per annum, and has payments due monthly out of
available cash flow, as defined, with the unpaid principal balance due September
2011. The Partnership and a WNC subsidiary have executed a guarantee for the
payment of both notes of Alliance and Hastings. In addition, several other
commitments were made. Alliance and Hastings executed a grant deed to the lender
in the event that either entity defaults under the terms and provisions of the
notes. The deeds are held in escrow, and if Alliance or Hastings defaults on
either note, the lender may, at its option, record the respective deed. In
addition, the Partnership has given the lender as additional collateral all of
its residual value interests, as defined, in all of the Local Limited
Partnerships. The Partnership and the Local Limited Partnerships are prohibited
from selling, assigning, transferring or further encumbering the Housing
Complexes retained by each Local Limited Partnership.

15



Uncertainty and Commitments with Respect to Investments in Alliance, Evergreen
and Hastings, continued

As a result of the operating difficulties mentioned above, there is uncertainty
as to additional costs, if any, that the Partnership may incur in connection
with its investment in Alliance and Hastings and as to whether the Partnership
will ultimately retain its interest in these Local Limited Partnerships. In the
event the Partnership does not successfully retain its interest in Alliance and
Hastings, the Partnership would be exposed to the cessation and recapture of the
related tax credits. The Partnership's financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On July 19, 2001, Evergreen's Housing Complex was sold for a gross sales price
of $1,300,000, which after payment of its outstanding loans and closing costs,
yielded net proceeds to the Partnership of approximately $170,000 in the form of
a return of advances. As the investment in Evergreen together with cash advances
had been previously impaired, the entire proceeds were reflected as a gain on
sale of investments in Local Limited Partnerships of $169,691, for the period
ended March 31, 2002. Due to the sale of the property, approximately $428,000
(unaudited) of tax credits are no longer available to the Partnership's
investors ($23.80 per Limited Partner Unit). In addition, there can be no
assurance that tax credits and loss deductions previously taken will not be
subject to recapture in the future.

Uncertainty with Respect to Investments in Cascade, Patten Towers and Heritage

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Cascade Pines, L.P.
II ("Cascade"). Cascade is a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit and related
injury lawsuits. Cascade carries general liability and extended liability
insurance. The wrongful death claim has been compromised, released and
dismissed. Liability insurance covered the settlement. In the related injury
lawsuits, the insurers for both the general liability, limited to $2 million,
and extended liability insurance, limited to a further $15 million, have
acknowledged coverage for the potential loss, should the outcome be unfavorable.
Discovery for the related injury lawsuits is ongoing; management of Cascade and
WNC are unable to determine the outcome of these lawsuits at this time or their
impact, if any, on the Partnership's financial statements. Should Cascade be
unsuccessful in its defense and the insurance coverage proves to be inadequate,
Cascade's assets could be subject to an adverse judgment. This could result in
the loss of the Cascade investment, which could result in the recapture of tax
credits and certain prior tax deductions. As a result, there is an uncertainty
as to the Partnership's ability to ultimately realize the carrying value of its
investment in Cascade, which totaled $284,857 at December 31, 2002. The
Partnership's financial statements, presented elsewhere herein, do not reflect
any adjustments that may result from any unfavorable outcome that may occur upon
the ultimate resolution of this uncertainty.

One Local Limited Partnership, Patten Towers L.P. II ("Patten Towers"), in which
the Partnership owns a 99% interest, has a promissory note payable aggregating
approximately $6,025,000 which was funded with proceeds from the issuance of
Multifamily Housing Revenue Bonds as of December 31, 2001. Patten Towers failed
to make timely principal payments of approximately $233,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2001 in accordance with the note payable. Consequently, the Local
Limited Partnership is in default of its bond covenants and the property could
be foreclosed on by the Bond Trustee to satisfy its obligations under the bonds.
These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Local Limited Partnership's
ability to continue as a going concern. Patten Towers is working to refinance
the property and to payoff the bonds, but as of December 4, 2002 the past due
principal payments owed have not been paid, and the bonds are fully payable
under the event of default. The lender is working with Patten Towers to assist
in improving property operations and has held off pursuing foreclosure action
against the property. There can be no assurances that Patten Towers will be
successful in its refinancing. Accordingly, Patten Towers is subject to the risk
of foreclosure and sale of the property by the lender, which would result in the
loss and potential recapture of certain tax losses and the tax credits. As a
result, there is an uncertainty as to the Partnership's ability to ultimately
realize the carrying value of its investment in Patten Towers, which totaled
$1,496,337 at December 31, 2002. The Partnership's financial statements,
presented elsewhere herein, do not reflect any adjustments that may result from
any unfavorable outcome that may occur upon the ultimate resolution of this
uncertainty. At December 31, 2002, the Partnership had advanced $133,268 to
Patten Towers to facilitate a workout plan. A promissory note was executed by
the Partnership and Patten Towers for the aforementioned advance totaling
$132,473 plus interest equal to 10% per annum, payable by Patten Towers on
demand or by August 9, 2012.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Heritage Apartments,
L.P. ("Heritage"). Heritage is a defendant in several wrongful death lawsuits
and related injury lawsuits. Heritage carries general liability and extended
liability insurance. Discovery for these lawsuits is ongoing, but the management
of Heritage and WNC are unable to determine the outcome of these lawsuits at
this time or their impact, if any, on the Partnership's financial statements.
Should Heritage be unsuccessful in its defense and the insurer denies coverage
or the insurance coverage proves to be inadequate, the Partnership may be
required to sell its investment or may otherwise lose its investment in
Heritage. Loss of the Heritage investment could result in the cessation and
recapture of tax credits and certain prior tax deductions.

Financial Condition

The Partnership's assets at December 31, 2002 consisted primarily of $21,000 in
cash, a receivable of $133,000 and aggregate investments in the seventeen Local
Limited Partnerships of $8,123,000. Liabilities at December 31, 2002 primarily
consisted of $4,000 of accrued expenses and $267,000 of accrued asset management
fees and expenses payable to the General Partner and affiliates.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Three months Ended December 31,
2001. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2002
was $(297,000), reflecting an increase of $80,000 from the net loss experienced
for the three months ended December 31, 2001 of $(217,000). The $80,000 increase
in net loss is primarily due to an increase in equity in losses of Local Limited
Partnerships of $130,000 to $(269,000) for the three months ended December 31,
2002 from $(139,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The increase
in equity in losses of limited partnerships was offset by a decrease in loss
from operations of $50,000 to $(28,000) for the three months ended December 31,
2002 from $(78,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2001 due to
decreases in legal and accounting fees of $23,000 and other expenses of $28,000
for the three months ended December 31, 2002.

Nine months ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Nine months Ended December 31,
2001. The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 was
$(948,000), reflecting an increase of $540,000 from the net loss experienced for
the nine months ended December 31, 2001 of $(408,000). The $540,000 increase in
net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 is primarily due to the
gain on disposal of an investment of $168,000 in 2001 along with an increase of
$389,000 in equity in losses of limited partnerships to $(807,000) for the nine
month period ended December 31, 2001 from $(418,000) for the nine month period
ended December 31, 2001. The increase in equity in losses of limited
partnerships was offset by a decrease in loss from operations of $17,000 to
$(141,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2002 from $(158,000) for the
nine months ended December 31, 2001 due to a decrease in legal and accounting
fees of $30,000, which was offset by an increase in other expenses of
approximately $11,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2002.


Cash Flows

Nine months ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Nine months Ended December 31,
2001. Net decrease in cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2002 was
$(57,000) compared to a net increase in cash for the nine months ended December
31, 2001 of $57,000. The $(114,000) decrease was due largely to proceeds
received on disposal of an investment in 2001 of $168,000, which did not recur
in 2002, and a decrease in distributions of $16,000, which was offset by a
decrease in cash used in operating activities of $70,000 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2002 .


During the nine months ended December 31, 2002, accrued payables, which consist
of related party management fees and reimbursements due to the General Partner
and accrued expenses, increased by $179,000. The General Partner does not
anticipate that the accrued fees and reimbursements will be paid until such time
as capital reserves are in excess of foreseeable working capital requirements of
the partnership.

The Partnership does not expect its future cash flows, together with its
available net assets at December 31, 2002 to be sufficient to meet all currently
foreseeable future cash requirements. Accordingly the General Partner has agreed
to provide advances sufficient to fund the operations and working capital
requirements of the Partnership through January 1, 2004.

17




Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001, and generally, is to be applied prospectively. The
Partnership does not expect SFAS 144 to 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." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Partnership does not
expect SFAS 146 to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures Above Market Risks

NONE

Item 4. Procedures and Controls

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the General
Partner of the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of the General Partnership's
management, including the General Partner's Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a- 14. Based upon that evaluation, the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There
were no significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or
in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

During 2000, Associates identified a potential problem with a
developer who, at the time, was the local general partner in nine
Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership has a 99% limited
partnership interest in nine of those nine Local Limited Partnerships.
Those investments are Alliance Apartments I, Evergreen Apartments I
and Hastings Apartments I. All the properties continue to experience
operating deficits. The local general partner ceased funding the
operating deficits, which placed the Local Limited Partnerships in
jeopardy of foreclosure. Consequently, Associates voted to remove the
local general partner and the management company from the Local
Limited Partnerships. After the local general partner contested its
removal, Associates commenced legal action on behalf of the Local
Limited Partnerships and was successful in getting a receiver
appointed to manage the Local Limited Partnerships and an unaffiliated
entity appointed as property manager. Associates was subsequently
successful in attaining a summary judgment to confirm the removal of
the local general partner, the receiver was discharged and Associates
now controls all nine of the Local Limited Partnerships.

The nine Local Limited Partnerships (hereinafter referred to as
"Defendants") were defendants in a separate lawsuit. The lawsuit was
filed by eight other partnerships in which the local general partner
of the Local Limited Partnerships is or was involved (the
"Plaintiffs"). The Plaintiffs allege that the local general partner
accepted funds from the Plaintiffs and improperly loaned these funds
to the Defendants. In July 2001, this lawsuit was settled for an
aggregate amount of $35,000 of which the Partnership's share was
approximately $17,500.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Cascade
Pines, L.P. II ("Cascade"). Cascade is a defendant in a wrongful death
lawsuit and related injury lawsuits. Cascade carries general liability
and extended liability insurance. The wrongful death claim has been
compromised, released and dismissed. Liability insurance covered the
settlement. In the related injury lawsuits, the insurers for both the
general liability, limited to $2 million, and extended liability
insurance, limited to a further $15 million, have acknowledged
coverage for the potential loss, should the outcome be unfavorable.
Discovery for the related injury lawsuits is ongoing, but the
management of Cascade and WNC are unable to determine the outcome of
these lawsuits at this time or their impact, if any, on the
Partnership's financial statements.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Heritage
Apartments, L.P. ("Heritage"). Heritage is a defendant in several
wrongful death lawsuits and related injury lawsuits. Heritage carries
general liability and extended liability insurance. Discovery for
these lawsuits is ongoing, but the management of Heritage and WNC are
unable to determine the outcome of these lawsuits at this time or
their impact, if any, on the Partnership's financial statements.
Should Heritage be unsuccessful in its defense and the insurer denies
coverage or the insurance coverage proves to be inadequate, the
Partnership may be required to sell its investment or may otherwise
lose its investment in Heritage. Loss of the Heritage investment could
result in the cessation and recapture of tax credits and certain prior
tax deductions.

for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14)
for the registrant and we have:

persons performing the equivalent function):

or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrant's internal controls; and

6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated
in this quarterly report whether or not there were significant
