         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").

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.

On July 18, 1994, the Partnership commenced a public offering of 20,000 units of
limited partnership interests ("Units"). As of the close of the public offering,
January 21, 1996 a total of 18,000 Limited  Partnership  Interests  representing
$17,558,985,  net of discounts of $441,015,  had been sold. Holders of Units are
referred to herein as "Limited Partners."

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  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 the general
partners  of  the  respective   Local  Limited   Partnerships   ("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 Compliance 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.

As of December  31,  1997,  the  Partnership  had  invested in 18 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 promoting
low- or moderate-income housing.

                                       3
<PAGE>

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  interests  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,  1997,  17 of the 18  Apartment  Complexes  acquired by the
Partnership were completed and in operation and one was under construction.  The
Apartment  Complexes  owned by the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  in  which  the
Partnership  has  invested  were or are being  developed  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 by the Partnership:

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


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Since inception the  Partnership has received  $17,558,985 in cash from the sale
of  Units.  Substantially  all of the  $17,558,985  has  been  committed  to the
purchase  price and  acquisition  fees and cost of  investments in Local Limited
Partnerships,  reserves and expenses of the offering. Although not presently the
case, the  Partnership  previously had identified its  investments in advance of
receipt of sufficient cash capital to fund the  investments.  As of December 31,
1997, the Partnership had made capital  contribution to Limited  Partnerships in
the  amount  of  approximately   $12,546,000  and  had  further  obligations  of
approximately $1,290,000.

As of December 31, 1997,  the  Partnership  was  indebted to  Associates  in the
amount of  approximately  $4,600.  The  component of such  indebtedness  were as
follows:  advances  to pay  front-end  fees of  approximately  $3,300 and assets
management fees of approximately, $1,300.

                                       20
<PAGE>

Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately  $548,600. for the period
ended  December  31,  1997.  This  decrease  in cash  consisted  of cash used in
investing  activities  offset  by  cash  provided  by  financing  and  operating
activities for the  Partnership of  approximately  $(2,888,600),  $2,237,800 and
$102,200,  respectively.  Cash used in investing activities consisted of capital
contributions  made to Local Limited  Partnerships of approximately  $3,432,700,
acquisitions  fees paid to Associates of  approximately  $29,000,  offset by the
collection of loans receivable totaling  approximately  $522,200,  the return of
acquisition  fees  of  approximately  $42,600  and  distributions   received  of
approximately  $8,300. Cash flows provided by financing  activities consisted of
capital contributions from partners offset by offering expenses of approximately
$2,250,000 and $(12,200),  respectively.  Cash provided by operating  activities
consisted  of  interest  income.  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.

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
period ended December 31, 1996. This increase in cash consisted of cash provided
by financing,  offset by cash used in investing and operating  activities of the
Partnership  of   approximately   $9,817,000,   $(7,704,800)   and   $(206,000),
respectively.   Cash  flows  from  financing  activities  consisted  of  capital
contributions  from  partners,  offset by  offering  expenses  of  approximately
$11,334,000 and $(1,517,000),  respectively.  Cash used in investing  activities
consisted  of  capital   contributions   to  Local   Limited   Partnerships   of
approximately $8,693,200,  acquisitions fees paid to Associates of approximately
$1,024,000,  offset by escrow cash applied of approximately $1,873,300 and loans
collected of  approximately  $139,100.  Cash  provided by  operating  activities
consisted  of primarily of interest  income.  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.

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 same of the Apartment Complexes.

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 Limited  Partnership  Interests is sufficient  to fund the  Partnership's
operations.

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  Limited   Partnership   Interests   will  be  sufficient  to  fund  the
Partnership's investment commitments and proposed operations.

Subsequent  to the close of its  public  offering  the  Partnership  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 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 Partnership.  Liquidity would, however, be adversely affected
by unanticipated  or greater than anticipated  operating costs. The Partnership'
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  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  Partnership for such purposes or
to replenish or increase working capital reserves.

                                       21
<PAGE>

Under the Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership  does not have the ability to
assess their respective partners for additional capital contributions to provide
capital  if  needed  by the  Partnership  or their  Local  Limited  Partnership.
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
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'  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  Partnership'  capital  needs and  resources  are
expected to be relatively stable over the holding periods of the investments.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

As discussed  in Item 1 above,  as of December 31,  1997,  the  Partnership  had
acquired  eighteen Local Limited  Partnership  Interests.  Each of the Apartment
Complexes owned by such Local Limited Partnerships has received a reservation or
an  allocation  for Low Income  Low Income  Housing  Credits.  Seventeen  of the
eighteen Apartment Complexes are completed and in operation.

Consistent  with The  Partnership's  investment  objectives,  each Local Limited
Partnership is generating or is expected to generate Low Income Housing  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,  the  Partnership  had losses of
approximately  $769,500  and $67,700 for the years ended  December  31, 1997 and
1996,  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 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 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 $49,500 was  incurred in each of the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 1996.
The  Partnership  paid the General  Partner or its affiliates  $110,000 of those
fees in 1997. No asset management fees were paid in 1996.

                                       22
<PAGE>

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 The Partnership's  administrative  expenses,  such as
accounting and legal fees, bank charges and investor reporting expenses.

Equity in Income from Local Limited  Partnerships.  The Partnership'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 The Partnership 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.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



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


We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
V, L.P., Series 3 (a California Limited  Partnership) (the  "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements of operations,  partners'
equity  (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended  December 31, 1997 and 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 audits. 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 87% and 70% of the total assets of WNC Housing
Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, 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 those  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 the other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  based on our audits 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,  1997 and 1996,  and the
results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the years ended  December 31,
1997 and 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 Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
            And For The Period From October 25, 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  through  January  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 interests 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 Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996
            And For The Period From October 25, 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,
1997,  the  Partnership  had cash  equivalents  of  $978,453  representing  U.S.
Treasury Bills.

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

At December  31,  1997,  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,
1997 and 1996, the Partnership had recorded  offering expenses of $1,073,742 and
$1,061,530 and selling expenses of $1,058,705 and $1,058,705, respectively.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

            And For The Period From October 25, 1995 (Date Operations
                         Commenced) To December 31, 1995


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

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.

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.  Loans  receivable  with a
balance of $522,190 as of December 31, 1996 were collectible from two additional
limited partnerships which were acquired in 1997 (see Note 3).

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

As of December 31,  1997,  the  Partnership  had  acquired  limited  partnership
interests in eighteen  limited  partnerships,  each of which owns one  apartment
complex.  As of December 31, 1997,  construction  had not been  completed on one
complex.  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, 1997 and 1996 are  approximately
$2,206,000 and $3,454,000 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 4) and capital contributions accrued but not paid.

                         Commenced) To December 31, 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,
         the Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $1,008,550 which have been
         included  in   investments  in  limited   partnerships.   During  1997,
         acquisition  fees of $42,551  were  returned to the  Partnership  by an
         affiliate,  as  allowed  by the  terms  of the  Partnership  Agreement,
         resulting  in  acquisition  fees of $965,999 as of December  31,  1997.
         Accumulated amortization was $54,714 and $22,514 for 1997 and 1996.
         Amortization was 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,  1997 and  1996,  the  Partnership  incurred  acquisition  costs of
         $99,011  and  $70,036,  respectively,   which  have  been  included  in
         investments  in  limited  partnerships.  Accumulated  amortization  was
         insignificant for 1997, 1996 and 1995.

         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. The Partnership incurred asset management fees of $49,500
         for the years  ended  December  31,  1997 and 1996,  respectively,  and
         $12,367 for the period ended December 31, 1995.  Asset  management fees
         of $110,000 were paid during 1997. No asset  management  fees were paid

         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.

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,
all of which were  collected in 1997. 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.
