                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization
WNC CALIFORNIA  TAX CREDITS IV, L.P.,  Series 4 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under the California  Revised Limited  Partnership Act on February 16, 1995, and
commenced  operations  on July 26, 1995.  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  general  partner  of the  Partnership  is WNC  California  Tax  Credit
Partners IV, L.P. (the "General Partner"), a California limited partnership. WNC
& Associates,  Inc. is the general  partner of 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.

General
The information  contained in the following notes to the financial statements is
condensed  from that  which  would  appear in the annual  financial  statements;
accordingly,  the  financial  statements  included  herein should be reviewed in
conjunction  with the audited  financial  statements  and related  notes thereto
contained  in the  Partnership's  financial  statements  for  the  period  ended
December 31, 1995 (audited).

In the opinion of the General  Partner,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1996
and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995.

Allocations Under the Terms of the Partnership Agreement
The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating  profits and losses,  taxable
income and loss and in cash available for distribution from the Partnership. The
limited  partners  will  be  allocated  the  remaining  99% of  these  items  in
proportion to their respective investments.

After the limited  partners have received sale or refinancing  proceeds equal to
their capital  contributions  and their return on investment  (as defined in the
Partnership's  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership)  and the General  Partner has
received a  subordinated  disposition  fee (as  described in Note 3 below),  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.

Method of Accounting For Investment in Limited Partnerships
The investment in limited  partnerships is accounted for on the equity method of
accounting whereby the Partnership  adjusts its investment balance for its share
of each limited  partnership's  results of operations and for any  distributions
received.  Costs  incurred by the  Partnership  in acquiring the  investments in
limited partnerships are capitalized as part of the investment account.

Losses from the limited  partnerships  will not be recognized to the extent that
the individual investment balance would be adjusted below zero.

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  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 partners' capital.

Organization Costs
Organization costs will be amortized on the straight-line method over 60 months.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership  considers investments with an original maturity of three months
or less as cash equivalents.


NOTE 2 - O & O REIMBURSEMENTS DUE FROM AFFILIATE

O & O  Reimbursements  Due  Form  Affiliate  represents  amounts  due  from  WNC
California  Housing Tax Credits IV, Series 5 for reimbursement of Organizational
and  Offering  Expenses.  Section  5.3.1.  (iii)  of the  partnership  agreement
provides that if  Organizational  and Offering  Expenses on a per-Unit basis are
higher for one series than for another (excluding certain discounts),  the total
of  Organizational  and Offering  Expenses  incurred by all such series shall be
allocated  among  them  so that  the  per-Unit  amount  is the  same  (excluding
discounts).  Consequently,  offering  expenses of $142,141  already  paid by the
Partnership was allocated to WNC California  Housing Tax Credits IV, Series 5 in
regards to equalizing offering expenses on a per-Unit basis.

limited  partnerships  achieving certain operating  benchmarks and are generally
expected to be paid within two years of the Partnership's initial investment.

                                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization
WNC California  Tax Credits IV, L.P.,  Series 5 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under the California Revised Limited  Partnership Act on September 12, 1995, and
commenced  operations on February 26, 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 information  contained in the following notes to the financial statements is
condensed  from that  which  would  appear in the annual  financial  statements;
accordingly,  the  financial  statements  included  herein should be reviewed in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto contained in
the Partnership's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1995.

In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1996
and  changes  in  cash  flows  for  the  three  months  then  ended.  Accounting
measurements at interim dates  inherently  involve greater reliance on estimates
than at year end. The results of operations for the interim period presented are
not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year.

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.

Allocations Under the Terms of the Partnership Agreement
The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating  profits and losses,  taxable
income and loss and in cash available for distribution from the Partnership. The
limited  partners  will  be  allocated  the  remaining  99% of  these  items  in
proportion to their respective investments.

                        (A Development Stage-Enterprise)


                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS (CONTINUED)

After the limited  partners have received sale or refinancing  proceeds equal to
their  capital  contributions  and their  preferred  return  (as  defined in the
Partnership's  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership)  and the general  partner has
received a  subordinated  disposition  fee 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.

Method of Accounting For Investment 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 each limited  partnership's  results of operations  and
for any distributions  received.  Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring
the  investments  in  limited  partnerships  are  capitalized  as  part  of  the
investment.

Losses from the limited  partnerships  will not be recognized to the extent that
the individual investment balance would be adjusted below zero.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The  Partnership  considers all bank  certificates of deposit with a maturity of
less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Offering Expenses
- -----------------
Offering  expenses consist of underwriting  commissions,  legal fees,  printing,
filing and  recordation  fees,  and other costs  incurred  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 partners' capital.

Organization Costs
- ------------------
Organization  costs are being  amortized  on the  straight-line  method  over 60
months.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
- -------------------------

Loans receivable  represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain limited
partnerships in which the  Partnership  may invest.  These loans will be applied
against  the  first  capital  contribution  due  if the  Partnership  ultimately
acquires a limited partnership  interest. In the event that the Partnership does
not  acquire a limited  partnership  interest,  the loans are to be repaid  with
interest with at a rate of prime plus 1% per annum.  Loans  receivable have been
incurred in the amount of $60,456 and $0 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- -------------------------------------------

As of June 30, 1996 the Partnership had acquired limited  partnership  interests
in two limited partnerships which each own one Apartment Complex. As of June 30,
1996, one Apartment had started construction and the other had not.

The Partnership,  as a limited partner,  is entitled to 99%, as specified in the
partnership  agreements,  of the  operating  profits  and losses of the  limited
partnership upon the acquisition of its limited partnership interest.  Following
is a summary of the components of investment in limited  partnerships as of June

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS (Continued)

No operations were incurred by limited partnerships for the period from February
26, 1996 (Date Operations Commenced) to June 30, 1996.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of its  Agreement of Limited  Partnership,  the  Partnership  is
obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for the following items:

     Acquisition  fees  of up to 7% of the  gross  proceeds  from  the  sale  of
     Partnership  units.  Acquisition fees of $293,360 were incurred for the six
     months ended June 30, 1996.  An annual  asset  management  fee equal to the
     greater amount of (i) $2,000
     for each Apartment  Complex,  or (ii) 0.275% of Gross  Proceeds.  In either
     case,  the fee will be decreased or increased  annually based on changes to
     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 to the limited  partnerships plus its allocable percentage of
     the permanent  financing) of the limited  partnerships which are subsidized
     under  one or  more  Federal,  state  or  local  government  programs.  The
     Partnership incurred no fees for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

     Reimbursement for organizational, offering and selling expenses advanced by
     an affiliate  of the General  Partner on behalf of the  Partnership.  These
     reimbursements   plus  all  other   organizational  and  offering  expenses
     inclusive of sales  commissions  will not exceed 15% of the gross proceeds.
     During  the six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  the  Partnership  incurred
     organizational,  offering  and  selling  expenses  of  $-0-,  $249,541  and
     $297,590, respectively.

     A subordinated  disposition fee in an amount equal to 1% of the sales price

     partners  receiving a return on investment  (as defined in the Agreement of
     Limited  Partnership)  and is payable  only if services are rendered in the
     sales effort.

NOTE 5 - O & O REIMBURSEMENTS DUE TO AFFILIATE
- ----------------------------------------------

O & O Reimbursements  Due To Affiliate  represents amounts due to WNC California
Housing  Tax  Credits  IV,  Series 4 for  reimbursement  of  Organizational  and
Offering Expenses.  Section 5.3.1.  (iii) of the partnership  agreement provides
that if Organizational  and Offering Expenses on a per-Unit basis are higher for
one  series  than  for  another  (excluding  certain  discounts),  the  total of
Organizational  and  Offering  Expenses  incurred  by all such  series  shall be
allocated  among  them  so that  the  per-Unit  amount  is the  same  (excluding
discounts).  Consequently,  offering  expenses of $142,141  already  paid by WNC
California  Housing Tax Credits IV, Series 4 was allocated to the Partnership in
regards to equalizing offering expenses on a per-Unit basis.

NOTE 6 - PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- ----------------------------------------

Payable to limited partnerships represent amounts which are due at various times
based on conditions specified in the respective limited partnership  agreements.
These  contributions  are payable in  installments,  are  generally due upon the
limited  partnerships  achieving certain operating  benchmarks and are generally
expected to be paid within two years of the Partnership's initial investment.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------

The  Partnership  will not make a provision  for income taxes since all items of
taxable income and loss will be allocated to the partners for inclusion in their
respective income tax returns.

such  purchase  price in cash upon  subscription  and the  remaining  50% by the
delivery of a  promissory  note payable  bearing  interest at the rate of 8% per
annum.  Principal  and  interest  are due (i) January  31, 1997 if the  investor
subscribes  between  January  1,  1996 and June 1, 1996 or (ii) the later of the
date of subscription or June 30, 1997 if the investor  subscribes  after June 1,

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

WNC California  Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 4 - Series 9 are California
Limited  Partnerships formed under the laws of the State of California on May 4,
1993 to acquire limited partnership interests in limited partnerships  ("Limited
Partnerships")  which own multifamily  apartment complexes that are eligible for
low-income  housing  federal income tax credits (the "Housing Tax Credit").  WNC
California  Housing  Tax Credits IV,  L.P.,  Series 4 ("Series  4") and Series 5
("Series 5") are the only  registrants to have  commenced an offering.  Series 4
and Series 5 are referred together as the Partnerships".

The partnerships are raising funds from investors  through their public offering
of units of limited  partnership  interest  ("Units")  and intends to apply such
funds,  including the installment  payments of the limited partners'  promissory
notes as received,  to the  acquisition of investments in Limited  Partnerships,
acquisition  fees,  the  establishment  of  reserves,  the payment of  operating
expenses and the payment of expenses of this offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources-Series 4
- ----------------------------------------

Overall,  as  reflected  in its  Statement  of Cash  Flows,  Series  4 had a net
decrease in cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately  $552,000  for the six
months  ended June 30,  1996.  Cash of  approximately  $26,000  and  $90,000 was
provided by financing  activities  and  operating  activities  during six months
ended June 30, 1996. Cash of approximately $704,000 used by investing activities
and consisted of capital  contributions to limited  partnerships and acquisition
fees and expenses of  approximately  $690,000 and  $14,000,  respectively.  Cash
provided by operating  activities  consisted  primarily of interest  received on
cash deposits and investors notes receivable,  and cash used consisted primarily
of payments  operating  fees and  expenses.  The major  components  of all these
activities are discussed in greater detail below.

Overall,  as  reflected  in its  Statement  of Cash  Flows,  Series  4 had a net
increase in cash and cash  equivalents of  approximately  $2,617,000 for the six
months  ended June 30,  1995.  This  increase in cash was  provided by financing
activities, including the proceeds from the Offering and short term indebtedness
described  below.  Cash from financing  activities for the period ended June 30,
1995 was sufficient to fund the investing  activities of the Partnership  during
such periods in the amount of  approximately  $2,124,  0000,  which consisted of
investments  in limited  partnerships  and  acquisition  fees and  costs..  Cash
provided by operating  activities  consisted  primarily of interest  received on
cash  deposits,  and cash used  consisted  primarily  of payments  for  interest
expense of approximately  $29,000.  The major components of all these activities
are discussed in greater detail below.

As of June 30,  1996,  Series  4 was  indebted  to WNC &  Associates,  Inc.  for
approximately $93,000. The component items of such indebtedness were as follows:
accrued  Acquisition  Fees of approximately  $27,000,  advances to pay front-end
fees of approximately  $13,000, Asset Management Fees of $47,000 and advances to
for payment of  operating  fees and  expenses  $6,000.  As of December  31, 1995
Series 4 was indebted to WNC & Associates for approximately  $103,000 consisting
of accrued Acquisition Fees of approximately $14,000,  advances to pay front-end
fees of $57,000,  and Asset Management Fees of $32,000.  Associates obtained the
necessary  funds for its 1995  advances  to Series 4 for  capital  contributions
pursuant to a bank line of credit.  As  permitted  by Series 4  Agreement,  such
funds bore  interest at the  lender's  rate (i.e.,  the rate paid by  Associates
pursuant  to its line of  credit,  which is equal to 1% per annum over the prime
rate  published  in The Wall Street  Journal from time to time) which has ranged
from 9.75 to 10.5% per cent per annum.  Associates' loan is payable upon demand.
and  amounts  lent in 1995 were  repaid in May 1995.  In  addition,  during 1995
Series 4  obtained  a bank  loan in the  amount  of  $1,200,000.  The loan  bore
interest  at a  variable  rate equal to the  lender's  prime rate less 0.75% per
annum and was payable interest only on a monthly basis until April 1996 when the
entire principal amount was repaid.

As of June 30,  1996 the  Series 4 has made  offering  costs  reimbursements  in
excess of the amount  allocated  on a per-Unit  basis  among the  issuers of WNC
California  Housing  Tax  Credits  IV,  L.P.,  Series 4  through  Series  9. The
Partnership is due approximately $142,000 from the other issuer, Series 5.

As of June 30, 1996 and December  31,  1995,  Series 4 has received and accepted
subscriptions funds in the amount of $11,099,000, of which $60,000 and $172,500,
respectively  were  represented  by  Promissory  Notes.  As of June 30, 1996 and
December 31,  1995,  Series 4 had made capital  contributions  to Local  Limited
Partnerships  in  the  amount  of  approximately  $5,791,000,   and  $5,102,000,
respectively,  and had  commitments  for  additional  capital  contributions  of
approximately $2,101,000 and $2,786,000, respectively.

Series 4 and 5
- --------------
Prior to sale of the  Apartment  Complexes,  it is not expected  that any of the
Local  Partnerships in which the Partnerships  have invested or will invest will
generate cash from operations sufficient to provide distributions to the Limited
Partners in any material amount except possibly in the  circumstances  discussed
in  the  Prospectus  under  "Investment  Objectives  and  Policies  -  Principal
Investment  Objectives." Such cash from operations,  if any, would first be used
to meet operating  expenses of the Partnerships,  including payment of the asset
management fee to CTCP IV. See "Management Compensation" in the Prospectus. As a
result, it is not anticipated that the Partnerships  will provide  distributions
to the Limited Partners prior to the sale of the Apartment Complexes.

The Partnerships' investments will not be readily marketable and may be affected
by adverse  general  economic  conditions  which, in turn,  could  substantially
increase the risk of operating  losses for the  Apartment  Complexes,  the Local
Partnerships  and the  Partnerships.  These problems may result from a number of
factors,  many of which cannot be controlled by the General  Partner.  See "Risk
Factors - Investment Risks" in the Prospectus. Nevertheless, the General Partner
anticipates that capital raised from the sale of the Units will be sufficient to
fund the Partnerships' investment commitments and proposed operations.

The  Partnerships  will  establish  working  capital  reserves of at least 3% of
capital  contributions,  an amount  which is  anticipated  to be  sufficient  to
satisfy general working capital and administrative  expense  requirements of the
Partnerships  excluding  payment of the asset management fee as well as expenses
attendant to the preparation of tax returns and reports to the Limited  Partners
and other investor servicing  obligations of the Partnerships.  Liquidity would,
however,  be adversely  affected by  unanticipated  or greater than  anticipated
operating costs. The Partnerships'  liquidity could also be affected by defaults
or delays in payment of the Limited  Partners'  promissory  notes,  from which a
portion of the working capital reserves is expected to be funded.  To the extent
that working capital reserves are insufficient to satisfy the cash  requirements
of the  Partnerships,  it is anticipated  that additional  funds would be sought
through bank loans or other  institutional  financing.  The General  Partner may
also apply any cash distributions  received from the Local Partnerships for such
purposes or to replenish or increase working capital reserves.

Under the  Partnership  Agreements the  Partnerships  do not have the ability to
assess the Limited  Partners for  additional  capital  contributions  to provide
capital if needed by the  Partnerships or Local  Partnerships.  Accordingly,  if
circumstances  arise that  cause the Local  Partnerships  to require  capital in
addition to that contributed by the  Partnerships and any equity  contributed by
the general partners of the Local Partnerships, the only sources from which such
capital  needs will be able to be  satisfied  (other than the  limited  reserves
available  at the  Partnership  level) will be (i)  third-party  debt  financing
(which may not be available,  if, as expected,  the Apartment Complexes owned by
the Local  Partnerships are already  substantially  leveraged),  (ii) additional
equity   contributions  or  advances  of  the  general  partners  of  the  Local
Partnerships,  (iii) other  equity  sources  (which could  adversely  affect the
Partnerships' interest in Housing Tax Credits, cash flow and/or proceeds of sale
or refinancing of the Apartment Complexes and result in adverse tax consequences
to the  Limited  Partners),  or (iv) the sale or  disposition  of the  Apartment
Complexes  (which  could have the same  adverse  effects as  discussed  in (iii)
above).  There can be no assurance  that funds from any of such sources would be
readily available in sufficient  amounts to fund the capital  requirement of the
Local  Partnerships  in  question.  If such funds are not  available,  the Local
Partnerships  would risk  foreclosure on their Apartment  Complexes if they were
unable to  re-negotiate  the terms of their first  mortgages  and any other debt
secured by the Apartment Complexes to the extent the capital requirements of the
Local  Partnerships  relate to such debt. See "Risk Factors - Investment Risks -
Risks Associated With Use of Leverage" and "Investment Objectives and Policies -
Use of Leverage" in the Prospectus.

The  Partnerships'  capital  needs and  resources  are expected to undergo major
changes  during  their  first  several  years of  operations  as a result of the
completion of their  offerings of Units and their  acquisition  of  investments.
Thereafter,  the  Partnerships'  capital  needs and resources are expected to be
relatively  stable over the  holding  periods of the  investments  except to the
extent of proceeds received in payment of Promissory Notes and disbursed to fund
the deferred  obligations of the  Partnerships.  See,  however,  "Risk Factors -
Investment Risks - Risks of Real Estate Ownership" in the Prospectus.

Liquidity and Capital Resources-Series 5
- ----------------------------------------

Overall,  as  reflected  in its  Statement  of Cash  Flows,  Series  5 had a net
increase in cash and cash  equivalents of  approximately  $3,104,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. Cash from financing  activities for the period ended
June 30, 1996 of  approximately  $5,679,000 was sufficient to fund the investing
activities  of Series 5 during  such  periods  in the  amount  of  approximately
$2,593,000,  which consisted of capital  contributions to limited  partnerships,
loan to limited  partnership  and  acquisition  fees and costs of  approximately
$2,319,000, $60,000 and $214,000,  respectively.  Cash used by the Partnership's
operating  activities was minimal compared to the Partnership's other activities
and  consisted  primarily  of payments for  operating  fees and  expenses.  Cash
provided from operations  consisted  primarily of interest  received.  The major
components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.

As of June  30,  1996  Series  5 was  indebted  to WNC &  Associates,  Inc.  for
approximately  $139,000.  The  component  items  of  such  indebtedness  were as
follows:  accrued Acquisition Fees of approximately  $87,000 and advances to pay
front-end fees of approximately $51,000.

As of June 30, 1996 the Series 5 has made  offering  costs  reimbursements  less
than  the  amount  allocated  on a  per-Unit  basis  among  the  issuers  of WNC
California   Housing  Tax  Credits  IV,  L.P.,   Series  4  through   Series  9.
Approximately $142,000 is due to the other issuer, Series 4.


As  of  August  1  and  June  30,  1996,  Series  5 has  received  and  accepted
subscriptions  funds in the amount of  $6,254,000 , of which $27,500 and $37,500
was  represented  by Promissory  Notes.  As of August 1 1996,  June 30, 1996 and
December 31,  1995,  Series 5 had made capital  contributions  to Local  Limited
Partnerships  in the  amount of  approximately  $2,319,000,  $2,319,000  and $0,
respectively,  and had  commitments  for  additional  capital  contributions  of
approximately $1,370,000, $1,370,000 and $0, respectively.

Results of Operations - Series 4
- --------------------------------

As of June  30,  1996 and  1995,  Series 4 had  acquired  8 and 3 Local  Limited
Partnership   Interests,   respectively.   Each  of  the  eight  Local   Limited
Partnerships  receives or is expected to receive government  assistance and each
of them has received a reservation for Housing Tax Credits.  As of June 30, 1996
and 1995, only six and one, respectively, of the Apartment Complexes in Series 4
had  commenced  operations.  Accordingly,  the  "Equity in losses  from  limited
partnerships"  for the period  ended  June 30,  1996 and 1995  reflected  in the
Statement  of  Operations  of Series 4 is not  indicative  of the  amounts to be
reported in future years.

As  reflected  on  its  Statements  of  Operations,  Series  4  had  a  loss  of
approximately  $129,000  and $42,000 for the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and
1995  respectively.  The  component  items of revenue and expense are  discussed
below.

Revenue. Series 4's revenues consisted entirely of interest earned on Promissory
Notes and cash deposits held in financial  institutions (i) as Reserves, or (ii)
pending investment in Local Partnerships.  Interest revenue in future years will
be a function of prevailing  interest rates and the amount of cash balances.  It
is  anticipated  that  Series 4 will  maintain  cash  Reserves  in an amount not
materially  in  excess  of  the  minimum  amount  required  by  its  Partnership
Agreement, which is 3% of Capital Contributions.

Expenses.  The most  significant  component of  operating  expenses was interest
expense on  borrowings of  approximately  $29,000 for the six months ended March
31,  1995;  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and in the future the Asset
Management  Fee was and is expected to be the most  significant  component.  The
Asset  Management  Fees is equal to the greater of (i) $2,000 for each Apartment
Complex or (ii) 0.275% of gross  proceeds,  and will be  decreased  or increased
annually based on changes to the Consumer Price Index.  Asset  management fee of
approximately $16,000 was accrued for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

Amortization  expense consist of the  amortization  over a period of 30 years of
the Acquisition Fee and other expenses  attributable to the acquisition of Local
Limited Partnership Interests.  Interest expense was incurred as described above
under "Liquidity and Capital Resources." Interest expense is expected to minimal
after 1995. Office expense consist of Series 4's administrative  expenses,  such
as legal fees, bank charges and investor reporting expenses.

Because of the  amounts of the Asset  Management  Fee and  amortization  expense
primarily are determined by the Gross Proceeds from the Offering, the number and
size of Apartment  Complexes and the number of investors,  until  termination of
the  Offering and  investment  of the net  proceeds  therefrom,  Series 4 cannot
predict with any accuracy what these amounts will be.

Results of Operations - Series 5
- --------------------------------

As of June 30, 1996 and December  31, 1995,  Series 5 had acquired 2 and 0 Local
Limited Partnership Interest,  respectively.  The Local Limited Partnerships are
expected to receive  government  assistance and have received a reservation  for
Housing Tax Credits.  As of June 30, 1996,  the Apartment  Complexes in Series 5
had not commenced operations. Accordingly, the Statement of Operations of Series
5 for the period  ended June 30,  1996 is not  indicative  of the  amounts to be
reported in future years.

As  reflected  on  its  Statements  of  Operations,   Series  5  had  income  of
approximately  $9,000  for  the  period  ended  June  30,  1996.  There  were no
operations as of June 30, 1995.  The component  items of revenue and expense are
discussed below.

Revenue. Series 5's revenues consisted entirely of interest earned on Promissory
Notes and cash deposits held in financial  institutions (i) as Reserves, or (ii)
pending investment in Local Partnerships.  Interest revenue in future years will
be a function of prevailing  interest rates and the amount of cash balances.  It
is  anticipated  that  Series 5 will  maintain  cash  Reserves  in an amount not
materially  in  excess  of  the  minimum  amount  required  by  its  Partnership
Agreement, which is 3% of Capital Contributions.

Expenses.  The  components of operating  expenses were not  significant;  in the
future  the  Asset  Management  Fee  is  expected  to be  the  most  significant
component.  The Asset  Management Fees is equal to the greater of (i) $2,000 for
each Apartment  Complex or (ii) 0.275% of gross proceeds,  and will be decreased
or increased annually based on changes to the Consumer Price Index.

Amortization  expense consist of the  amortization  over a period of 30 years of
the Acquisition Fee and other expenses  attributable to the acquisition of Local
Limited Partnership Interests.  Interest expense was incurred as described above
under "Liquidity and Capital Resources." Interest expense is expected to minimal
after 1995. Office expense consist of Series 5's administrative  expenses,  such
as legal fees, bank charges and investor reporting expenses.

Because of the  amounts of the Asset  Management  Fee and  amortization  expense
primarily are determined by the Gross Proceeds from the Offering, the number and
size of Apartment  Complexes and the number of investors,  until  termination of
the  Offering and  investment  of the net  proceeds  therefrom,  Series 5 cannot
predict with any accuracy what these amounts will be.


Equity in Losses  from Local  Limited  Partnership.  Series 5's equity in losses
from Local Limited  Partnerships  is equal to 99% of the aggregate net losses of
each Local Limited Partnership incurred after admission of Series 5 as a limited
Partner thereof.

After rent-up all Local  Limited  Partnerships  are expected to generate  losses
during each year of operations;  this is so because,  although  rental income is
expected  to exceed  cash  operating  expenses,  depreciation  and  amortization
deductions claimed by the Local Limited  Partnerships are expected to exceed net
rental income.
