ITEM 1.  BUSINESS:
- ------------------

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

WNC  California  Housing  Tax  Credits  IV,  Series 4 - Series 9 are  California
limited  partnerships  formed  under  the laws of the State of  California.  The
Partnerships  were  formed to acquire  limited  partnership  interests  in local
limited  partnerships  ("Local  Limited  Partnerships")  which  own  multifamily
apartment complexes that are eligible for Federal and (in some cases) California
low-income  housing tax credits (the "Housing Tax  Credit").  As of December 31,
1995 WNC California  Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 4 ("Series 4") and
WNC California  Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P.,  Series 5 ("Series 5") are the
only registrants to have commenced an offering. Series 4 commenced operations on
July 26, 1994 and Series 5 commenced  operations on February 27, 1996.  Series 4
and Series 5 are collectively referred to as the "Partnerships".

Investors  in one Series have no rights,  title or  interest in the  operations,
distributions or tax credits of any other Series.  The general partner of Series
4 is WNC California  Tax Credits IV, L.P. The general  partner of WNC California
Tax Credit  Partners IV, L.P. is WNC & Associates,  Inc. The general  partner of
Series 5 is WNC &  Associates,  Inc.  (The  "General  Partner" will refer to the
respective  general  partner  of  Series 4 or  Series  5.) The  business  of the
Partnerships  is  conducted  primarily  through  WNC &  Associates,  Inc. as the
Partnerships  and WNC California Tax Credits IV, L.P. have no employees of their
own. Holders of Limited Partnership Interests are referred to herein as "Limited
Partners." Series 4 conducted its public offering ("Offering") from July 1994 to
August 1995. 25,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interests ("Limited Partnership
Interests"), at a price of $1,000 per Limited Partnership Interest were offered.
Since  inception a total of 11,500 Limited  Partnership  Interests  representing
approximately  $11,099,000  were sold throughout the offering.  Enova Financial,
Inc., a California  corporation which is not an affiliate of the Partnerships or
either General Partner, has purchased 5,096 Units, which represents 44.3% of the
Units outstanding for Series 4. Enova Financial, Inc. invested $4,712,000 due to
a volume discount of $384,000. Series 5 commenced its offering of 25,000 Limited
Partnership Interests on November 9, 1995. As of December 31, 1995, Series 5 had
received  subscriptions for 1,145 Limited  Partnership  Interests  consisting of
cash of $1,103,000 and $25,000 in promissory notes  receivable.  As of March 31,
1996,  Series  5  had  received  subscriptions  for  1,981  Limited  Partnership
Interests  consisting  of cash of  $1,943,500  and $37,500 in  promissory  notes
receivable.   Sales  of  Limited  Partnership  Interests  are  continuing.   The
Partnerships  have  applied and will apply funds  raised  through  their  public
offerings,   including  the  installment   payments  of  the  Limited  Partners'
promissory  notes as received,  to the purchase price and  acquisition  fees and
costs of Local  Limited  Partnership  Interests,  reserves  and  expenses of the
Offerings.

Description of Business
- -----------------------

The Partnerships'  principal business is to invest 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
federal low-income housing tax credit ("Housing Tax Credit"). The Tax Reform Act
of 1986 (the "1986 Act")  replaced  most  existing  federal tax  incentives  for
low-income  housing with Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides
for the Housing Tax Credit. In general, an owner of a low-income housing project
under (i) federal  law is entitled to receive the Federal  Housing Tax Credit in
each year of a ten-year period (the "Credit  Period") and (ii) under  California
Revenue and Taxation Section 17058 is entitled to receive the California Housing
Tax Credit in each year of a four-year period.  The Apartment Complex is subject
to a fifteen-year compliance period (the "Compliance Period").

The Partnerships'  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  Housing  Tax Credit  could be  recaptured  and  neither  the
Partnerships'  investments  nor the Apartment  Complexes  owned by Local Limited
Partnerships will be readily marketable. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that  the  Partnerships  will be able to  dispose  of their  interests  in Local
Limited  Partnerships  at the end of the  Compliance  Period.  The  value of the
Partnerships'  investments  could 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  Partnerships.  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 each Partnership's  ability to control its operations will
depend on these and other factors beyond the control of the General Partners and
the  general  partners  of  the  Local  Limited  Partnerships,  there  can be no
assurance that either  Partnership's  operations  will be profitable or that the
anticipated Housing Tax Credits will be available to Limited Partners.

The Apartment  Complexes  owned by the Local Limited  Partnerships  in which the
Partnerships have invested or are expected to invest were or are being developed
by the general  partners of the respective  Local Limited  Partnerships  ("Local
General  Partners") who acquired the sites and applied for applicable  mortgages
and  subsidies.  The  Partnerships  became or will become the principal  limited
partner  in  these  Local   Limited   Partnerships   pursuant  to   arm's-length
negotiations  with the  Local  General  Partners.  As a  limited  partner,  each
Partnership's  liability for  obligations  of the Local Limited  Partnership  is
limited  to its  investment.  The Local  General  Partner  of the Local  Limited
Partnership retains  responsibility for developing,  constructing,  maintaining,
operating and managing the Apartment Complex.

Series 4 As of December  31, 1995,  Series 4 had  invested in six Local  Limited
Partnerships.  Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Partnership identified three
additional Local Limited Partnerships (and acquired two of these). Each of these
Local Limited  Partnerships  owns an Apartment Complex that is or is expected to
be  eligible   for  the  Housing  Tax  Credit.   These   investments   represent
approximately 100% of the offering proceeds available for investment.

     fulfilled.

         SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS:
         ------------------------

The Limited  Partnership  Interests are not traded on a public  exchange but are
being sold  through a public  offering.  It is not  anticipated  that any public
market  will  develop  for the  purchase  and  sale of any  Limited  Partnership
Interest.  Limited  Partnership  Interests  can  be  assigned  only  if  certain
requirements in the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership ("Partnership
Agreement")  are  satisfied.  At December  31, 1995,  there were 432  registered
holders of Limited  Partnership  Interests in Series 4. As of December 31, 1995,
Series  5  had  not  raised  the  minimum  offering  amount  of  $1,400,000  and
consequently had not admitted any Limited Partners.

Neither  Partnership  was  designed  to provide  cash  distributions  to Limited
Partners  in  circumstances   other  than  refinancing  or  disposition  of  its
investments  in  Local  Limited  Partnerships.  Notwithstanding  the  preceding,
inasmuch as Series 4 did not generate Tax Credits in 1994,  Series 4 distributed
to each Limited Partner admitted during 1994 an amount equal to 8%,  annualized,
of the purchase price of the Limited  Partner's Units,  calculated from the date
Series 4 received the Limited Partner's  subscription through December 31, 1994.
The distribution,  in an aggregate amount of $18,302,  occurred during the first
quarter  of 1995  and  was  funded  by cash  contributed  to  Series  4 by WNC &
Associates,  Inc. Accordingly,  the distributions had no effect on the amount of
cash  available  to  Series  4 for  investment.  Series 4 did not  generate  any
significant amounts of income for book or tax purposes during 1994. Accordingly,
the  distributions  constitute  a return of , rather than a return on,  capital.
Prospective investors should note that although distributions reduce the capital
accounts of the Limited Partners receiving the distributions,  the distributions
generally will not otherwise affect  subsequent  distributions or allocations of
income or loss because  distributions  and allocations  generally are determined
based on the  number of Units  outstanding  and not as a result of the amount of
invested  capital.  This  was  an  extraordinary  distribution  and  no  further
distributions  from funds of WNC & Associates,  Inc. are  anticipated for either
Series 4 or Series 5.  Limited  Partners in Series 4 received  Federal and state
Housing Tax Credits in 1995 of $12 and $70 per Unit, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

SERIES 4

Series 4's primary  source of capital has been the proceeds from its Offering of
Limited Partnership Interests (called "Units" herein).

Overall,  as  reflected  in its  Statement  of Cash  Flows,  Series  4 had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of  approximately  $3,342,000 and $485,000
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,  respectively.  This increase in
cash was provided by Series 4's  financing  activities,  including  the proceeds
from its Offering and, for 1994, the short term  indebtedness  described  below.
Cash from  financing  activities for the period ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
of approximately $5,295,000 and $4,201,000,  respectively was sufficient to fund
the investing activities of Series 4 (i.e.,  capital  contributions and loans to
Local  Limited   Partnerships)  of  approximately   $1,979,000  and  $3,718,000,
respectively. Cash provided and used by the operating activities of Series 4 was
minimal compared to its other activities.  Cash provided consisted  primarily of
interest  received on cash deposits and Limited Partner  Promissory  Notes,  and
cash used consisted  primarily of payment for operating  fees and expenses.  The
major components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.

As of December 31, 1995 and 1994 Series 4 was indebted to WNC & Associates, Inc.
in the amounts of  approximately  $102,500  and  $1,701,000,  respectively.  The
component items of such indebtedness were as follows:

                                                           1995         1994

WNC &  Associates,  Inc.  obtained the  necessary  funds for the 1994 advance of
$1,264,000  pursuant  to a bank line of  credit.  As  permitted  by  Series  4's
Partnership Agreement,  such funds bore interest at the lender's rate (i.e., the
rate paid by the WNC &  Associates,  Inc.  pursuant to its line of credit) which
ranged from 9.75% to 10.5% per annum. In addition, Series 4 obtained a bank loan
in the amount of $1,200,000.  The loan bore interest at a variable rate equal to
0.75% under the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, which ranged
from 7.0% to 8.25% per annum,  and was payable  interest only on a monthly basis
until April 1995, when the entire principal amount matured and was repaid.

Series 4  terminated  its  offering of Units in August 1995 at which time it had
received and accepted  subscriptions for 11,500 Units. The following information
pertains to Series 4's investments in Local Limited Partnerships:

</TABLE>


Of the loans  outstanding  as of December 31, 1994,  approximately  $147,000 was
loaned to Sycamore  and  $500,000 was loaned to  Maharlika.  These  amounts were
applied to Series 4's purchase  price upon  acquisition  of those Local  Limited
Partnership Interests in 1995. The balance of approximately  $452,000 was loaned
to a Local  Limited  Partnership  in which Series 4 did not make an  investment.
This amount was repaid to Series 4 in August 1995.


SERIES 5

As of December 31, 1995,  Series 5 had not raised the minimum offering amount of
$1,400,000.  Series 5 has made  investments in, or commitments to, Local Limited
Partnerships  prior to the receipt of Offering  proceeds in an amount sufficient
to complete such  investments.  It is possible that Series 5 ultimately will not
receive  sufficient  proceeds to meet all of its obligations with respect to its
investments.  If not,  Series 5 would  attempt to sell one or more Local Limited
Partnership Interests for the best price obtainable.

As of December 31, 1995,  Series 5 had only nominal funds as it is newly formed,
had not yet  commenced  operations  and the  capital  anticipated  to be  raised
through its public Offering of Units had not yet become  available.  Series 5 is
raising  equity  capital from  investors by means of a public  offering and will
apply such funds to the purchase price and  acquisition  fees and costs of Local
Limited Partnership Interests, reserves and expenses of the Offering.

In February 1996,  Series 5 raised the minimum offering amount.  As of March 31,
1996, Series 5 had sold 1,981 Limited Partnership  Interests  consisting of cash
of $1,943,500 and Limited Partner promissory notes of $37,500.

SERIES 4 AND SERIES 5
- ---------------------

Prior to sale of the Apartment  Complexes,  it is not
expected that any of the Local Limited  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.
Distributions to the Partnerships would first be used to meet operating expenses
of the  Partnership,  including the payment of the Asset  Management  Fee to the
General  Partner.  See Item 11 hereof.  As a result,  it is not  anticipated the
Partnerships  will provide  distributions  to the Limited  Partners prior to the
sale of the Apartment Complexes.

Notwithstanding the preceding, inasmuch as Series 4 did not generate Housing Tax
Credits in 1994,  Series 4 distributed to each Limited  Partner  admitted during
1994 an amount equal to 8%,  annualized,  of the  purchase  price of the Limited
Partner's  Limited  Partnership  Interests,  calculated  from the date  Series 4
received the Limited  Partner's  subscription  through  December  31, 1994.  The
distribution,  in an  aggregate  amount of  $18,302,  occurred  during the first
quarter  of 1995  and  was  funded  by cash  contributed  to  Series  4 by WNC &
Associates,  Inc. Accordingly,  the distributions had no effect on the amount of
cash  available  to  Series  4 for  investment.  Series 4 did not  generate  any
significant amounts of income for book or tax purposes during 1994. Accordingly,
the  distributions  constitute  a return of , rather than a return on,  capital.
Prospective investors should note that although distributions reduce the capital
accounts of the Limited Partners receiving the distributions,  the distributions
generally will not otherwise affect  subsequent  distributions or allocations of
income or loss because  distributions  and allocations  generally are determined
based on the number of Limited  Partnership  Interests  outstanding and not as a
result of the amount of invested capital. Prospective investors should also note
that this was an extraordinary  distribution  and that no further  distributions
from WNC &  Associates,  Inc.'s  funds are  anticipated  for either  Series 4 or
Series 5.

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
Limited  Partnerships  and the  Partnerships.  These  problems may result from a
number of factors,  many of which cannot be controlled  by the General  Partner.
Nevertheless,  the General Partner anticipates that capital raised from the sale
of  the  Limited   Partnership   Interests   will  be  sufficient  to  fund  the
Partnerships' investment commitments and proposed operations.

The Partnerships  have or 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  including  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 Limited  Partnerships
for such purposes or to replenish or increase working capital reserves.

Under both Partnership  Agreements,  the Partnerships do not have the ability to
assess their respective partners for additional capital contributions to provide
capital  if needed by the  Partnerships  or their  Local  Limited  Partnerships.
Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause the Local Limited Partnerships to
require  capital in addition to that  contributed by the respective  Partnership
and any equity of the Local General  Partners,  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  because the Apartment  Complexes owned by the Local
Limited  Partnerships  are already  substantially  leveraged),  (ii)  additional
equity  contributions  or advances of the Local  General  Partners,  (iii) other

                                       17


<PAGE>

equity  sources  (which could  adversely  affect the  Partnership's  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  Limited
Partnerships  in question.  If such funds are not  available,  the Local Limited
Partnerships  would risk  foreclosure on their Apartment  Complexes if they were
unable to  renegotiate  the terms of their  first  mortgages  and any other debt
secured by the Apartment Complexes to the extent the capital requirements of the
Local Limited Partnerships relate to such debt.

The  Partnerships'  capital  needs and  resources  are expected to undergo major
changes  during  the  first  several  years of  operations  as a  result  of the
completion  of  their   respective   offerings  of  Units  and   acquisition  of
investments.  Thereafter,  the  Partnerships'  capital  needs and  resources are
expected to be relatively stable over the holding periods of the investments.

SERIES 4 

As  discussed  in Item 1 above,  as of March  28,  1996,  Series 4 had  acquired
interests  in eight Local  Limited  Partnership  Interests  and  identified  for
investment one other Local Limited Partnership  Interest.  Each of the Apartment
Complexes owned by such Local Limited Partnerships has received a reservation or
an allocation for Low Income Housing Tax Credits.

As  of  December  31,  1995,   Series  4  had  invested  in  six  Local  Limited
Partnerships, two of which had not yet commenced operations.

Consistent with Series 4's investment objectives, each Local Limited Partnership
is  generating  or is expected  to generate  Housing Tax Credits for a period of
approximately   ten  years,   commencing  with  completion  of  construction  or
rehabilitation  of its  Apartment  Complex and is  generating  or is expected to
generate losses until sale of the Apartment Complex.

As  reflected  on  its  Statements  of  Operations,   Series  4  had  losses  of
approximately $76,600 and $9,600 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The component items of revenue and expense are discussed below.

Revenue.
- --------
Revenues  consisted  entirely of interest earned on Limited  Partner  Promissory
Notes and cash deposits held in financial  institutions (i) as reserves, or (ii)
pending  investment in Local Limited  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 investor capital.

Expenses.
- ----------
The most significant component of operating expenses is expected to be the Asset
Management  Fee. The Asset  Management Fee is equal to the greater of $2,000 for
each  Apartment  Complex or 0.275 % of investor  capital,  and will be increased
based on  changes in the  Consumer  Price  Index.  The Asset  Management  Fee of
approximately $16,050 was incurred in the year ended December 31, 1995. No Asset
Management Fee was incurred during 1994.

Amortization  expense consists 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.

Office  expense  consists  of  Series  4's  administrative   expenses,  such  as
accounting and legal fees, bank charges and investor reporting expenses.

Equity in Income from Local  Limited  Partnerships.
- ----------------------------------------------------

Series 4's equity in income
from Local Limited  Partnerships is equal to approximately  99% of the aggregate
net income of the Local Limited Partnerships  incurred after admission of Series
4 as a limited partner thereof.

After rent-up,  the 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.

SERIES 5

As of December 31, 1995, Series 5 financial  statements reflect only the initial
capital  contributions  of $100 and $900,  from the General Partner and original
limited partner.

WNC California Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 4


We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of WNC California  Housing Tax
Credits  IV,  L.P.,   Series  4  (a   California   Limited   Partnership)   (the
"Partnership")  as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related  statements of
operations,  partners'  equity  (deficit)  and cash  flows  for the  year  ended
December 31, 1995 and for the period July 26, 1994 (date  operations  commenced)
to December 31, 1994. 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.  We did not  audit  the  financial
statements  of the  limited  partnerships  in which WNC  California  Housing Tax
Credits IV, L.P., Series 4 is a limited partner. These investments, as discussed
in Note 3 to the financial  statements,  are accounted for by the equity method.
The  investments in these limited  partnerships  represented  69% and 65% of the
total  assets of WNC  California  Housing  Tax  Credits  IV,  L.P.,  Series 4 at
December  31,  1995 and 1994,  respectively.  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 to the amounts included
for the  limited  partnerships,  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  other  auditors  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion,  based on our audits and the  reports  of other  auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial  position of WNC California Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 4
(a California  Limited  Partnership)  as of December 31, 1995 and 1994,  and the
results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the year ended  December  31,
1995 and for the period July 26, 1994 (date  operations  commenced)  to December
31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                (Date Operations Commenced) to December 31, 1994


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

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

WNC California  Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 4 (the  "Partnership")  was
formed under the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act on February 16,
1994, and commenced  operations on July 26, 1994. 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 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.

The partnership  agreement  authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units of limited
partnership interest (Units) at $1,000 per Unit. The offering of Units concluded
in August 1995 at which time 11,500  Units  representing  subscriptions,  net of
discounts  of  $400,950  for  purchases  of 100 units or more,  in the amount of
$11,099,050  had  been  accepted.  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  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  a
subordinated disposition fee (as described in Note 4 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.

The Partnership's  investments in limited  partnerships are subject to the risks
incident to the management and ownership of multifamily residential real estate,
and  include  the risks  that  neither  the  Partnership's  investments  nor the
apartment   complexes  owned  by  the  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 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
apartment  complexes  and the  Partnership.  The  apartment  complexes  could be
subject to loss through  foreclosure.  In addition,  each 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 general
partners of the limited partnerships, there can be no assurance that Partnership
operations will be profitable or that the  anticipated  housing tax credits will
be available to limited partners.

Method of Accounting For Investment in Limited Partnership
- ----------------------------------------------------------

The  Partnership  accounts for its investment in limited  partnership  using the
equity method of  accounting,  whereby the  Partnership  adjusts its  investment
balance for its share of the limited partnership's results of operations and for
any distributions  received.  Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the
investment in limited  partnership are capitalized as part of the investment and
amortized over 30 years (see Note 4).

Losses  from  limited  partnership  allocated  to the  Partnership  will  not be
recognized to the extent that the  investment  balance  would be adjusted  below
zero.

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

The  Partnership  consider all  investments  with remaining  maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

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

As of December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  maintained  cash balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by Federal agencies.

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 the
selling of 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.  As of December 31,
1995,   the   Partnership   has   incurred   offering   and   selling   expenses
of $827,363 and $554,470, respectively. As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership
had  incurred   offering  and  selling   expenses  of  $150,862  and   $150,990,
respectively. No organizational expenses were incurred during 1995 or 1994.

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.

Reclassifications
- ------------------

Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made to the 1994
balances to conform to the 1995 presentation.

Net Loss Per Limited Partner Units
- ----------------------------------

Net loss per limited partner unit is computed by dividing the limited  partners'
share of net loss by the weighted  number of limited  partner units  outstanding
during the period.

                (Date Operations Commenced) to December 31, 1994



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

Loans receivable represents 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,  commencing  on the date  funds were
advanced.  Loans receivable were all collected in 1995. These loans were secured
by the general partner's interest in the respective limited partnerships.

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

At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership interests
in six limited partnerships which own and operate apartment complexes consisting
of 246 apartment units. The accounting policies of the limited  partnerships are
consistent with the  Partnership.  The  Partnership,  as a limited  partner,  is
generally  entitled  to 99% of the  operating  profits and losses of the limited
partnership. The Partnership's investment in the limited partnership as shown in
the   accompanying   balance  sheet  as  of  December  31,  1995  and  1994,  is
approximately   $3,410,000   and  $753,000,   respectively,   greater  than  the
Partnership's equity as shown in the limited partnership's financial statements.
This  difference  is due to  acquisition  and  selection  costs  related  to the
acquisition of the investments that have been  capitalized in the  Partnership's
investment account and will be amortized over 30 years and capital contributions
accrued but not paid (Note 6).

Following  is a  summary  of  the  investments  in  limited  partnerships  and a
reconciliation to the limited partnerships  accounts as of December 31, 1995 and
1994:

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

          Acquisition  fees  of 7% of  the  gross  proceeds  from  the  sale  of
          Partnership  units as compensation for services rendered in connection
          with the acquisition of limited partnerships.  As of December 31, 1995
          and 1994,  acquisition  fees of $640,930 and  $150,990,  respectively,
          have been  incurred  and included in limited  partnership  investment.
          Accumulated  amortization amounted to $13,792 as of December 31, 1995.
          No amortization was recorded during 1994.

          Reimbursement of costs incurred by an affiliate of the General Partner
          in connection  with the  acquisition  of limited  partnerships.  These
          reimbursements  will not  exceed  1.0% of the  gross  proceeds.  As of
          December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership  has incurred  acquisition
          costs of $79,606 and $17,711,  respectively,  which have been included

          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 plus its allocable percentage of
          the mortgage debt encumbering the apartment  complexes) of the limited
          partnerships.  Management  fees of $31,625 were  incurred for 1995. No
          management fees were incurred for the period ended December 31, 1994.

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

Accrued fees and advances due the General  Partner and affiliate are  summarized
as follows:

Amounts  advanced  to acquire  limited  partnerships  bore  interest at the rate
incurred by the  affiliate  on its line of credit which has ranged from 9.75% to
10.5% per annum.  Interest  incurred on these  advances  during 1995 amounted to
$38,174.

NOTE 5 - LOAN PAYABLE
- ---------------------

Loan  payable  at  December  31,  1994  consisted  of  borrowings  from  a  bank
collateralized  by assets owned by a general partner of the limited  partnership
in which the  Partnership  has an investment  (see Note 1). The loan matured and
was paid April 18, 1995 and bore  interest at the bank's prime less 0.75% (8.25%
at December 31, 1994).

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

Payable  to limited  partnerships  represents  amounts  which are due at various
times based on conditions specified in the limited partnership agreements. These
contributions are non-interest  bearing, are payable in installments and are due
upon the limited partnership  achieving certain operating benchmarks  (generally
within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------

No provision  for income taxes has been recorded in the  accompanying  financial
statements  since all items of taxable  income and loss will be allocated to the
partners for inclusion in their respective income tax returns.

NOTE 8 - SUBSCRIPTIONS AND INVESTOR NOTES RECEIVABLE
- ----------------------------------------------------

At  December  31, 1995 and 1994,  the  Partnership  had  accepted  $172,500  and
$145,500,  respectively in promissory notes from limited  partners.  During 1995
and 1994,  limited  partners  who  subscribed  for ten or more  units of limited
partnership  interest  ($10,000) could elect to pay 50% of the purchase price in
cash upon  subscription  and the  remaining  50% by the delivery of a promissory
note payable,  together with interest at the rate of 8% per annum,  due no later
than 13

months after the  subscription  date.  Since the  promissory  notes had not been
collected  as of the  date  of  issuance  of  the  financial  statements,  their
aggregate unpaid balance was reflected as a reduction of partners' equity in the
accompanying  financial  statements.  The promissory  notes accepted during 1994
amounting to $145,500  were  collected  during 1995.  At December 31, 1994,  the
Partnership  had received  subscriptions  for Units  totaling  $258,200,  net of
discounts.  Such  receivables  were  reflected as assets as of December 31, 1994
since the amount was collected  subsequent to such date but prior to issuance of
the Partnership's financial statements.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------

Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Partnership  acquired  limited  partnership
interests totaling $211,677 in two additional limited partnerships. Furthermore,
the  Partnership  is negotiating  to acquire a limited  partnership  interest in
another  additional  limited  partnership.  This  investment  would  commit  the
Partnership to additional capital contributions of $482,865.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Partners
WNC California Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 5


     We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheet of WNC California  Housing
Tax  Credits  IV,  L.P.,  Series  5  (a  California  limited  partnership)  (the
"Partnership")  (a  development-stage  enterprise)  as of December 31, 1995. The
balance  sheet  is the  responsibility  of  the  Partnership's  management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the balance sheet based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material  misstatement.  An
audit includes examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures  in  the  balance  sheet.  An  audit  also  includes  assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation.  We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet referred to above,  presents
fairly,  in all material  respects,  the  financial  position of WNC  California
Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P.,  Series 5 (a California  limited  partnership)  (a
development-stage  enterprise)  as of  December  31,  1995  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------

WNC California  Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P.,  Series 5 (the  "Partnership")  (a
development-stage  enterprise)  was formed pursuant to the laws of California on
September  12, 1995 and had not  commenced  operations  as of December 31, 1995.
Accordingly,  no statement of operations,  partners'  equity,  or cash flows has
been presented.  Subsequently,  on February 27, 1996, the Partnership  commenced
operations  (see  Note 4).  The  Partnership  was  formed to invest as a limited
partner in other limited  partnerships  which will own and operate  multi-family
housing complexes that will qualify for low income housing credits.

ORGANIZATION
- ------------

The general partner, 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 is the original  limited partner
of the  Partnership  and owns,  through  the  Lester  Family  Trust,  30% of the
outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc.

In accordance with the Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership is authorized to
sell  25,000  units of the  limited  partnership  interests  at $1,000  per unit
("Units").  Subscriptions of 100 Units or more receive varying volume discounts,
as defined.  The accompanying balance sheet does not include certain Partnership
legal, accounting, and other organization and offering costs paid by the General
Partner or its  affiliates  or fees due the General  Partner or its  affiliates.
Upon  subscription  receipts for the minimum offering amount of $1,400,000,  the
Partnership  will be required to reimburse the General Partner or its affiliates
for such costs and fees out of the  proceeds of the  offering,  up to  specified
limits, as defined (see Note 2).

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership had  subscriptions for 1,145 Units. The
Partnership received cash in escrow of $1,103,000 for such subscriptions, net of
$17,000  in  volume  discounts  and  received   $25,000  in  promissory   notes.
Subsequently,  on February 27, 1996 (date operations commenced), the Partnership
had received subscriptions for 1,544 Units in the amount of $1,420,500 (see Note
4).

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.

their capital  contributions  and their return on investment  (as defined in the
Partnership  Agreement)  and the  General  Partner has  received a  subordinated
disposition  fee (as described in Note 2), 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.

Cash in Escrow
- --------------

Funds  received in connection  with  subscriptions  are deposited into an escrow
account  until  the  Partnership  has  raised  the  minimum  offering  amount of
$1,400,000 in cash (see Note 4).


NOTE 2 - COMMITMEwNTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- ---------------------------------------

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, upon reaching the minimum offering

          Acquisition fees of 7.5% of the gross offering proceeds, before volume
          discounts,  from the sale of  Partnership  Units as  compensation  for
          services  rendered  in  connection  with the  acquisition  of  limited
          partnerships.

          Reimbursement of costs incurred by an affiliate of the General Partner
          in connection with the  acquisition of the limited partner  interests.
          These  reimbursements will not exceed 1.0% of gross offering proceeds,
          before volume discounts.

          An annual  asset  management  fee equal to the  greater  amount of (i)
          $2,000 for each  apartment  complex,  or (ii) 0.275% of gross offering
          proceeds,  before volume  discounts.  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
          plus its allocable  percentage of the mortgage  debt  encumbering  the
          apartment complexes) of the limited  partnerships.  No management fees
          were charged as of December 31, 1995.

          the sales effort.

As of December 31, 1995, the  Partnership  had not been admitted as the majority
limited partner in any limited  partnerships.  The Partnership is negotiating to
acquire a limited  partnership  interest  which would commit the  Partnership to
capital contributions of approximately $3,032,000 (see Note 5).

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------

The Partnership  will not make a provision for income taxes since all income and
losses will be  allocated to the  Partners  for  inclusion  in their  respective
returns.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
- -------------------------

On February 27, 1996 (date  operations  commenced),  the Partnership  raised the
required  minimum  offering amount of $1,400,000,  as defined in the partnership
agreement.  The  Partnership  had  received  subscriptions  for 1,544  units and
received cash from escrow  amounting to $1,420,500,  net of volume  discounts of
$17,000 and  promissory  notes of  $106,500.  Accordingly,  the  Partnership  is
obligated to the General  Partner or its affiliates for specified  costs paid on
behalf of the Partnership and fees for performing  services for the Partnership,
as defined (see Note 2). As of February 27, 1996,  the  Partnership is obligated

respectively.

NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT (unaudited)
- -------------------------------------

Subsequent to February 29, 1996,  the  Partnership  acquired a 99% interest in a
limited  partnership  (see Note 2). This limited  partnership  had no operations
prior  to  the  Partnership's   acquisition  and  had  assets  of  approximately
$1,285,000  at the  time  of  acquisition.  These  assets  consisted  of land of
$768,000 and  pre-development  costs of  $517,000.  The  Partnership  intends to
account for this investment under the equity method of accounting.

          Federal income tax purposes.  Finally, a  majority-in-interest  of the
          Limited  Partners  may at any time remove the  General  Partner of the
