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

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, 1996 (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 March 31,
1997 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
Allocations Under the Terms of the Partnership Agreement

proportion to their respective investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
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.
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.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
WNC California Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 4 - is a 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 ("the Partnership")
As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership has received subscriptions for 11,500
Units at $1,000 per Unit consisting of cash of $11,099,050 and discounts
$400,950. The offering terminated in August, 1995 at which time the
subscriptions for 11,500 units were accepted.
The Partnership raised funds from investors through its 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
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $795,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Cash of approximately $30,000 was provided by
operating activities during three months ended March 31, 1997. Cash of
approximately $825,000 used by investing activities and consisted primarily of
capital contributions to limited partnerships. Cash provided by operating
activities consisted primarily of interest received on cash deposits, 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, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $523,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997. Cash of approximately $52,000 and 26,000 was
provided by operating activities and financing activities, respectively during
three months ended March 31, 1997. Cash of approximately $601,000 used by
investing activities and consisted of capital contributions to limited
partnerships and acquisition fees and expenses of approximately $592,000 and
$9,000, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily
of collection of notes receivable and cash used consisted of payments to
affiliates of cash advanced. 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.
As of March 31, 1997,the Partnership was indebted to WNC & Associates, Inc. for
approximately $54,000. The component items of such indebtedness were as follows:
accrued Acquisition Fees of approximately $24,000, advances to pay front-end
fees and for payment of operating fees and expenses of approximately $4,000 and
Asset Management Fees of $26,000. As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership 4 was
indebted to WNC & Associates for approximately $44,000 consisting of accrued
Acquisition Fees of approximately $24,000, advances to pay front-end fees of
$2,000, and Asset Management Fees of $18,000.
As of March 31, 1997 the The Partnership 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 through Series 9. The
Partnership is due approximately $96,000 from the other issuer, WNC California
Housing Tax Credits IV, L.P., Series 5.
14
<PAGE>
As of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the Partnership has received and
accepted subscriptions funds in the amount of $11,099,000. As of March 31, 1997
and December 31, 1996, the Partnership had made capital contributions to Local
Limited Partnerships in the amount of approximately $7,268,000, and $6,443,000,
respectively, and had commitments for additional capital contributions of
approximately $1,107,000 and $1,930,000, respectively.
It is not expected that any of the local limited partnerships in which the
Partnership will invest will generate cash from operations sufficient to provide
distributions to the limited partners in any significant amount. Such cash from
operations, if any, would first be used to meet operating expenses of the
Partnership, including the payment of the asset management fee to the General
Partner.
The Partnership's 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 Partnership. 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 Units will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's future 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 its partnership agreement the Partnership does not have the ability to
assess its partners for additional capital contributions to provide capital if
needed by the Partnership or local limited partnerships. Accordingly, if
circumstances arise that cause the local limited partnerships to require capital
in addition to that contributed by the 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, if,
as expected, 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 equity sources (which could
adversely affect the Partnership's interest in 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).
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.

Results of Operations
As of March 31, 1997 and 1996, The Partnership had acquired nine and eight Local
Limited Partnership Interests, respectively. Each of the nine 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 March 31, 1997
and 1996, only seven and five, respectively, of the Apartment Complexes in the
Partnership had commenced operations. Accordingly, the "Equity in losses from
limited partnerships" for the period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 reflected in
the Statement of Operations of the Partnership is not indicative of the amounts
to be reported in future years.
As reflected on its Statements of Operations, The Partnership had a loss of
approximately $157,000 and $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996 respectively. The component items of revenue and expense are discussed
below.
Revenue. The Partnership'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 The Partnership 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 is and is
expected to be the Asset Management Fee. 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 $8,000 was accrued
for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 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 1996. Office expense consist of the Partnership's administrative expenses,
such as legal fees, bank charges and investor reporting expenses.
Office expenses and legal and accounting consists of the Partnership's
administrative expenses, such as accounting and legal fees, bank charges and
investor reporting expenses.
The Partnership's equity in losses from limited partnerships is equal to 99% of
the aggregate net loss of the limited partnerships. After rent-up, the 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 limited
partnerships are expected to exceed net rental income.
