Item 1.  Business

         PART I.


Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3 ("the  Partnership" or "Series 3")
is a  California  Limited  Partnership  formed  under  the laws of the  State of
California on March 28, 1995,  and  commenced  operations on October 24, 1995 to
acquire limited partnership  interests in limited  partnerships  ("Local Limited
Partnerships")  which own multifamily  apartment complexes that are eligible for
low-income housing federal income tax credits (the "Low Income Housing Credit").
As of the  close of the  public  offering,  January  21,  1996 a total of 18,000
Limited Partnership Interests representing $17,558,985 had been sold.


The general partner of the  Partnership is WNC & Associates,  Inc. (the "General
Partner").  The business of the Partnership is conducted  primarily  through the
General Partner as Series 3 has no employees of its own.


         Description of Business

The Partnership's principal business is to provide its Limited Partners with Low
Income Housing Credits. The Partnership's  principal business therefore consists
of investing as a limited  partner in Local Limited  Partnerships  each of which
will own and  operate an  apartment  complex  ("Apartment  Complex")  which will
qualify for the federal Low Income Housing Credit. In general, under Section 42,
an owner of a low-income  housing  project is entitled to receive the Low Income
Housing  Credit in each year of a ten-year  period (the  "Credit  Period").  The
Apartment  Complex is subject to a 15-year  compliance  period (the  "Compliance
Period").

In general,  in order to avoid  recapture  of Low Income  Housing  Credits,  the
Partnership  does not  expect  that it will  dispose of its  interests  in Local
Limited Partnerships ("Local Limited Partnership Interests") or approve the sale
by a Local Limited  Partnership of any Apartment Complex prior to the end of the
applicable  Compliance  Period.  Because  of (i)  the  nature  of the  Apartment
Complexes,  (ii) the  difficulty of predicting  the resale market for low-income
housing  15 or  more  years  in the  future,  and  (iii)  the  inability  of the
Partnership to directly  cause the sale of Apartment  Complexes by Local General
Partners, but generally only to require such Local General Partners to use their
respective best efforts to find a purchaser for the Apartment  Complexes,  it is
not possible at this time to predict  whether the  liquidation of  substantially
all of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the proceeds,  if any, in
accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership ("Partnership
Agreement")  will be able to be accomplished  promptly at the end of the 15-year
period. If a Local Limited  Partnership is unable to sell an Apartment  Complex,
it is anticipated that the Local General Partner will either continue to operate
such Apartment  Complex or take such other actions as the Local General  Partner
believes  to be in the  best  interest  of the  Local  Limited  Partnership.  In
addition,  circumstances  beyond the  control of the  General  Partner may occur
during the Compliance  Period which would require the Partnership to approve the
disposition of an Apartment Complex prior to the end thereof.


<PAGE>


As of December 31, 1996, the  Partnership  had invested in 16 and identified for
investment  two  Local  Limited  Partnerships.   Each  of  these  Local  Limited
Partnerships owns an Apartment Complex that is or is expected to be eligible for
the Low  Income  Housing  Credit.  All of the Local  Limited  Partnerships  also
benefit from government programs promotinglow- or moderate-income housing.

The Partnership's  investments in Local Limited  Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income  housing and to the
management  and ownership  multifamily  residential  real estate.  Some of these
risks are that the Low Income Housing Credit could be recaptured and neither the
Partnership's  investments  nor the Apartment  Complexes  owned by Local Limited
Partnerships will be readily marketable. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that the  Partnership  will be able to  dispose  of its  interest  in the  Local
Limited  Partnerships  at the end of the  Compliance  Period.  The  value of the
Partnership's  investments  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 Partnership. The Apartment Complexes will be subject
to loss through  foreclosure.  In addition,  each Local Limited  Partnership  is
subject to risks relating to  environmental  hazards which might be uninsurable.
Because the Partnership's ability to control its operations will depend on these
and other  factors  beyond the  control  of the  General  Partner  and the Local
General Partners,  there can be no assurance that Partnership operations will be
profitable or that the  anticipated Low Income Housing Credits will be available
to Limited Partners.

As of  December  31,  1996,  11 of the 16  Apartment  Complexes  acquired by the
Partnership  were  completed and in operation and five were under  construction.
The Apartment  Complexes  owned by the Local Limited  Partnerships  in which the
Partnership  has  invested  were or are  being  eveloped  by the  Local  General
Partners  who  acquired  the sites and  applied  for  applicable  mortgages  and
subsidies.  The Partnership  became the principal limited partner in these Local
Limited  Partnerships  pursuant  to  arm's-length  negotiations  with the  Local
General  Partners.  As  a  limited  partner,  the  Partnership's  liability  for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment.  The
Local General Partner of the Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for
developing,  constructing,  maintaining,  operating  and managing the  Apartment
Complex.

Following is recap of the status of the 18 Apartment  Complexes  owned by the 18
Limited Partnerships invested in or identified by the Partnership:

Item 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of  approximately  $1,906,200 for the year
ended  December 31, 1996.  This  increase in cash consists of cash (used in) and
provided by the  Partnership's  operating,  investing  activities  and financing
activities   of   approximately   $(206,000),   $(7,705,000)   and   $9,817,000,
respectively.  Cash provided by investing activities consisted of application of
cash in escrow and loan  receivable of  approximately  $1,873,300  and $139,000,
respectively.  Cash used by investing  activities consisted primarily of capital
contributions  to Local Limited  Partnerships  and payment of capitalized  costs
totaling approximately $8,693,200 and $1,024,000, respectively. Cash provided by
financing  activities  consisted of capital  contributions from limited partners
from the Partnership's offering of approximately $11,334,000 less the payment of
offering  expenses of  approximately  $1,517,000.  Cash  provided  by  operating
activities consisted of interest earned on cash balances. Cash used in operating
activites consisted  primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses.  The
major components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.


<PAGE>


Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of  approximately  $661,000 for the period
ended December 31, 1995. This increase in cash was provided by the Partnership's
financing  activities,  including  the  proceeds  from the  offering.  Cash from
financing  activities for the period of approximately  $3,601,600 was sufficient
to fund the investing  activities of the Partnership in the aggregate  amount of
approximately $2,944,000,  which consisted primarily of capital contributions to
Local Limited Partnerships, cash deposited to excrow account, and loans to Local
Limited  Partnerships  of  approximately  $397,400,   $1,873,300  and  $661,300,
respectively.  Cash  provided  by and used in the  operating  activities  of the
Partnership  was minimal  compared  to its other  activities.  Cash  provided by
operating  activities consisted primarily of interest received on cash deposits,
and cash used in  operating  activities  consisted  primarily  of  payments  for
operating fees and expenses.  The major  components of all these  activities are
discussed in greater detail below.

The Partnership is indebted to WNC & Associates,  Inc., at December 31, 1996 and
December  31,  1995  in  the  amount  of  approximately  $43,800  and  $570,000,
respectively. The component items of such indebtedness are as follows:

</TABLE>

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has received approximately  $15,309,000
in cash and $2,195,000 in  subscriptions  receivable  (aggragating  $17,504,000)
from the  sale of  Units.  Approximately  $13,012,600  (74%)  of which  has been
committed to the purchase price and acquisition fees and costs of investments in
16 Local  Limited  Partnership  Interests.  The  Partnership  had  made  capital
contributions  to Local  Limited  Partnerships  in the  amount of  approximately
$9,090,600 as of December 31, 1996.

Prior to sale of the  Apartment  Complexes,  it is not expected  that any of the
Local Limited  Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested or will invest
will generate cash sufficient to provide distributions to the Partnership of any
material amount.  Distributions  to the Partnership  would first by 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 that the Partnership  will provide  distributions to the Limited
Partners prior to the sale of the Apartment Complexes, if ever.

The Partnership's  investments are not 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 is sufficient to fund the Partnership's operations.

The  Partnership  has  established  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
Partnership  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 Partnership.  Liquidity would,
however,  be adversely  affected by  unanticipated  or greater than  anticipated
operating costs. To the extent that working capital reserves are insufficient to
satisfy  the  cash  requirements  of the  Partnership,  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.

<PAGE>


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 Low Income Housing 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  Partnership's  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  Partnership's  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 reflected on its  Statements of  Operations,  the  Partnership  had losses of
approximately $117,400 and $9,700 for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995,
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

To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V,
L.P.,  Series 3 (a California  Limited  Partnership)  (the  "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations,  partners'
equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1996 and for the
period October 24, 1995 (date operations  commenced) to December 31, 1995. 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 audit. We did not audit the financial statements of the limited partnerships
in which WNC  Housing Tax Credit  Fund V, L.P.,  Series 3 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  70% and 22% of the total  assets of WNC  Housing  Tax
Credit Fund V, L.P.,  Series 3 at December  31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  A
substantial portion of 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 these  limited
partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.

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  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 audit and the  reports  of the  other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  based on our audit and the reports of the other  auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the  financial  position of WNC  Housing  Tax Credit  Fund V, L.P.,  Series 3 (a
California  Limited  Partnership)  as of  December  31,  1996 and 1995,  and the
results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the year ended  December  31,
1996 and for the period October 24, 1995 (date operations commenced) to December
31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    For The Year Ended December 31, 1996 and
                For The Period October 24, 1995 (Date Operations
                         Commenced) To December 31, 1995



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

Organization
- ------------
WNC  Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P.,  Series 3 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act on March 28, 1995, and
commenced  operations  on October  24,  1995.  Prior to October  24,  1995,  the
Partnership was considered a development-stage  enterprise.  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 Tax Credit Partners, V, L.P. (the "General Partner"),
a California limited partnership.  WNC & Associates, Inc. is the general partner
of the WNC Tax Credit  Partners  V, L.P.  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.

Pursuant to the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership is authorized to sell
25,000  Units at $1,000  per Unit (the  "Units")  of which  18,000  Units in the
amount of $17,558,985,  net of $441,015 of discounts for volume  purchases,  had
been sold as of December  31,  1996.  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), 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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                    For The Year Ended December 31, 1996 and
                For The Period October 24, 1995 (Date Operations
                         Commenced) To December 31, 1995



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

Method of Accounting For Investments in Limited Partnerships
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership  accounts for its investments in limited  partnerships using the
equity method of  accounting,  whereby the  Partnership  adjusts its  investment
balance for its share of the limited partnership's results of operations and for
any distributions  received. The accounting policies of the limited partnerships
are  consistent  with the  Partnership.  Costs  incurred by the  Partnership  in
acquiring the investments in limited partnerships are capitalized as part of the
investment and amortized over 30 years (see Notes 3 and 4).

Losses  from  limited  partnerships  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 considers highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of
three  months or less when  purchased  to be cash  equivalents.  At December 31,
1996, the Partnership had cash equivalents of $1,976,263 representing U.S.
Treasury Bills.

Cash in Escrow
- --------------
The Partnership  establishes escrow accounts for funds restricted to be invested
in certain limited partnerships upon completion of specified phases, as defined,
in the partnership agreements.

Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
At December  31,  1996,  the  Partnership  maintained  cash  balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

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,
1996 and 1995 the Partnership had recorded  offering  expenses of $1,061,530 and
$268,823 and selling expenses of $1,058,705 and $334,405, respectively.

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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                    For The Year Ended December 31, 1996 and
                For The Period October 24, 1995 (Date Operations
                         Commenced) To December 31, 1995



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

Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit
- ---------------------------------
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.

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 at a rate which is equal to the rate  charged to the holder  (10.25% at
December 31, 1996). Loans receivable with a balance of $522,190 were collectible
from two additional  limited  partnerships  acquired in 1997 (see Note 8). Loans
receivable  with a balance of $661,306 at December 31, 1995 were  collected from
two limited partnerships acquired in 1996.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------
As of December 31,  1996,  the  Partnership  had  acquired  limited  partnership
interests  in sixteen  limited  partnerships,  each of which owns one  apartment
complex.  As of December 31, 1996,  construction  had not been  completed on six
complexes.  The respective general partners of the limited  partnerships  manage
the day to day  operations  of the  limited  partnerships.  Significant  limited
partnership  business  decisions  require the approval of the  Partnership.  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
partnerships upon its acquisition of its limited partnership interests.

The  Partnership  investments  in  the  limited  partnerships  as  shown  in the
accompanying  balance  sheet as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are  approximately
$3,454,000 and $430,000  greater than the  Partnership's  equity as shown in the
limited partnerships' financial statements.  This difference is primarily due to
acquisition  costs related to the acquisition of the investments  that have been
capitalized in the Partnership's investment account and are being amortized over
30 years (see Note 5) and certain capital contributions accrued but not paid.

Following  is a summary of the equity  method  activity  of the  investments  in
limited partnerships for the period ended December 31:

                                                       1996             1995

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
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 up to 7.5% 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, 1996
         and December 31, 1995, the  Partnership  incurred  acquisition  fees of
         $1,008,550  and $327,997,  which have been included in  investments  in
         limited partnerships. Accumulated amortization was $22,514 for 1996 and
         insignificant for 1995.

         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% of the gross proceeds. As of December
         31,  1996 and  1995,  the  Partnership  incurred  acquisition  costs of
         $70,036 and $12,085 which have been included in  investments in limited
         partnerships.  Accumulated  amortization was insignificant for 1996 and
         1995.

                  WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND V, L.P., SERIES 3
                       (A California Limited Partnership)
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                    For The Year Ended December 31, 1996 and
                For The Period October 24, 1995 (Date Operations
                         Commenced) To December 31, 1995



NOTE 5 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- -----------------------------------------
Payables  to limited  partnerships  represent  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  partnerships  achieving  certain  operating  and  development
benchmarks (generally within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------
No provision  for income taxes has been recorded in the  accompanying  financial
statements as any  liability for income taxes is the  obligation of the partners
of the Partnership.

NOTE 7 - SUBSCRIPTIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
- -------------------------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the  Partnership had received  subscriptions  for 2,250
Units  consisting of receivables of $2,195,000 and promissory  notes of $55,000.
As of December 31, 1995,  the  Partnership  had received  subscriptions  for 519
Units consisting of receivables of $484,000 and promissory notes of $35,000, all
of which were collected in 1996. 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 10.25% per
annum,  due  no  later  than  13  months  after  the  subscription  date.  Since
subscription  receivables were collected subsequent to year-end, the Company has
reflected  such  amounts  as  a  capital  contributions  and  an  asset  in  the
accompanying  financial  statements as of December 31, 1996 and 1995.  Since the
promissory  notes had not been collected  prior to issuance of the 1996 and 1995
financial statements,  respectively,  the unpaid balance has been reflected as a
reduction of partners' equity in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS  AND  CONTINGENCIES  
- --------------------------------------
Subsequent  to  December  31,  1996,  the   Partnership   acquired  two  limited
partnership   interests   which   required   capital   contributions    totaling
approximately  $2,272,000,  of which $522,190 had been paid.  Such had been made
and are reflected as loans  receivable in the  accompanying  balance sheet as of
December 31, 1996. (See Note 2)
