PART I.

Item 1.  Business

Organization

WNC  Housing  Tax  Credit  Fund  V,  L.P.,  Series  3 ("the  Partnership")  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. The Partnership
was  formed  to  acquire   limited   partnership   interests  in  other  limited
partnerships or limited liability companies ("Local Limited Partnerships") which
own  multifamily  apartment  complexes that are eligible for low-income  housing
federal  and, in some  cases,  California  income tax  credits  (the "Low Income
Housing Credit").

The general partner of the  Partnership is WNC & Associates,  Inc. (the "General
Partner" or "Associates").  Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable
Trust,  owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of Associates.  John B. Lester,  Jr.
was the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester
Family Trust,  28.6% of the outstanding stock of Associates.  Wilfred N. Cooper,
Jr., President of Associates,  owns 2.1% of the outstanding stock of Associates.
The  business of the  Partnership  is  conducted  primarily  through the General
Partner as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

Pursuant to a  registration  statement  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  on July 26, 1995,  the  Partnership  commenced a public  offering of
25,000 Units of Limited Partnership  Interest ("Units") at a price of $1,000 per
Unit. 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.

Sempra Energy Financial, a California corporation,  which is not an affiliate of
the Partnership or General Partner,  has purchased 4,560 Units, which represents
25.3% of the Units  outstanding  for the  Partnership.  Sempra Energy  Financial
invested  $4,282,600.  A  discount  of  $277,400  was  allowed  due to a  volume
discount.  Western  Financial  Savings  Bank,  which is not an  affiliate of the
Partnership or General Partner,  has purchased 1,068 units, which represent 5.9%
of the Units  outstanding for the Partnership.  Western  Financial  Savings Bank
invested $1,000,000. A discount of $68,000 was allowed due to a volume discount.
See Item 12(a) in this 10-K.

Description of Business

The  Partnership's  principal  business  objective  is to  provide  its  Limited
Partners with Low Income Housing Credits.  The Partnership's  principal business
therefore  consists of investing as a limited partner or non-managing  member in
Local  Limited  Partnerships  each of which will own and operate a  multi-family
housing  complex (the "Housing  Complex")  which will qualify for the Low Income
Housing Credit.  In general,  under Section 42 of the Internal  Revenue Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
to reduce  Federal  taxes  otherwise due in each year of a ten-year  period.  In
general,  under Section 17058 of the  California  Revenue and Taxation  Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
against  California taxes otherwise due in each year of a four-year period.  The
Housing Complex is subject to a fifteen-year  compliance period (the "Compliance
Period"),  and under state law may have to be maintained  as low income  housing
for 30 or more years.

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 any Local Limited  Partnership of its Housing Complex prior to the end of the
applicable  Compliance  Period.  Because  of  (i)  the  nature  of  the  Housing
Complexes,  (ii) the  difficulty of predicting  the resale market for low-income
housing  15 or more years in the  future,  and (iii) the  ability of  government
lenders to  disapprove  of transfer,  it is not possible at this time to predict
whether the liquidation of the  Partnership's  assets and the disposition of the
proceeds,  if any, in  accordance  with the  Partnership's  Agreement of Limited
Partnership,  as amended "by Supplements thereto" (the "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  its  Housing  Complex,  it is

                                       3

<PAGE>
anticipated that the local general partner ("Local General Partner") will either
continue to operate such Housing Complex or take such other actions as the Local
General  Partner  believes  to be in the  best  interest  of the  Local  Limited
Partnership.  Notwithstanding the preceding, circumstances beyond the control of
the  General  Partner  or the  Local  General  Partners  may  occur  during  the
Compliance   Period,   which  would  require  the  Partnership  to  approve  the
disposition of a Housing Complex prior to the end thereof, possibly resulting in
recapture of Low Income Housing Credits.

As of March 31, 2000,  the  Partnership  had invested in eighteen  Local Limited
Partnerships.  Each of these Local Limited  Partnerships  owns a Housing Complex
that is eligible  for the  federal  Low Income  Housing  Credit.  Certain  Local
Limited Partnerships may also benefit from government programs promoting low- 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 of multi-unit  residential  real estate.  Some of these
risks  are that the Low  Income  Housing  Credit  could be  recaptured  and that
neither the  Partnership's  investments  nor the Housing  Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes  receive  government  financing  or operating  subsidies,  they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests;  limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are subject to mortgage
indebtedness.  If a  Local  Limited  Partnership  does  not  make  its  mortgage
payments,  the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing Complex
and Low Income Housing Credits.  As a limited partner or non-managing  member of
the Local Limited  Partnerships,  the Partnership  will have very limited rights
with respect to  management  of the Local  Limited  Partnerships,  and will rely
totally  on the  general  partners  or  managing  members  of the Local  Limited
Partnerships for management of the Local 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 Housing
Complexes and the Partnership.  In addition,  each Local Limited  Partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters,  which
might be uninsurable.  Because the Partnership's 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 the  anticipated  Low Income
Housing Credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition,  Limited  Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the Low Income  Housing  Credit are  complicated,  and the use of credits can be
limited.  The only  material  benefit from an investment in Units may be the Low
Income Housing Credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will  develop.  All  Partnership  management
decisions are made by the General Partner.

As a limited partner or non-managing  member,  the  Partnership's  liability for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment.  The
Local General Partners of each Local Limited  Partnership retain  responsibility
for developing,  constructing,  maintaining,  operating and managing the Housing
Complexes.

Item 2.  Properties

Through its investments in Local Limited  Partnerships,  the  Partnership  holds
limited  partnership  interests in the Housing  Complexes.  The following  table
reflects  the status of the eighteen  Housing  Complexes as of the dates and for
the periods indicated:

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

During the year, Associates identified a potential problem with a developer who,
at the time,  was the local general  partner in six Local Limited  Partnerships.
The  Partnership  has a 99% limited  partnership  interest in three of those six
Local  Limited  Partnerships.  Those  investments  are  Alliance  Apartments  I,
Evergreen Apartments I and Hastings Apartments I. All the properties continue to
experience  operating  deficits.  The local general  partner  ceased funding the
operating deficits,  which placed the Local Limited  Partnerships in jeopardy of
foreclosure.  Consequently, Associates voted to remove the local general partner
and the management company from the Local Limited Partnerships.  After the local
general  partner  contested its removal,  Associates  commenced  legal action on
behalf  of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  and was  successful  in  getting a
receiver appointed to manage the Local Limited  Partnerships and an unaffiliated
entity appointed as property manager.  Associates was subsequently successful in
attaining  a summary  judgment  to  confirm  the  removal  of the local  general
partner,  the receiver was discharged and Associates now controls all six of the
Local Limited Partnerships.

The six Local Limited Partnerships (hereinafter referred to as "Defendants") are
now defendants in a separate lawsuit.  The lawsuit has been filed by eight other
partnerships   in  which  the  local  general   partner  of  the  Local  Limited
Partnerships is or was involved (the  "Plaintiffs").  The Plaintiffs allege that
the local general  partner  accepted  funds from the  Plaintiffs  and improperly
loaned these funds to the  Defendants.  Discovery in this lawsuit is ongoing and
Associates  will  continue  to pursue  an  aggressive  defense  on behalf of the
Defendants.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership  investment in Cascade Pines, L.P.
II ("Cascade"). Cascade is a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit and a related
injury  lawsuit.  Cascade  carries  general  liability  and  extended  liability
insurance.  Discovery  for these  lawsuits is  ongoing,  but the  management  of
Cascade and  Associates are unable to determine the outcome of these lawsuits at
this time or their impact,  if any, on the Partnership's  financial  statements.
Should Cascade be unsuccessful  in its defense and the insurer denies  coverage,
which they have indicated that they might,  or the insurance  coverage proves to
be  inadequate,  the  Partnership  may be required to sell its investment or may
otherwise lose its investment in Cascade.  Loss of the Cascade  investment could
result in recapture of tax credits and certain prior tax deductions.

Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

NONE.

PART II.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Item 5a.

(a)  The  Units  are not  traded on a public  exchange  but were sold  through a
     public offering.  It is not anticipated that any public market will develop
     for the  purchase  and  sale of any  Unit and  none  exists.  Units  can be
     assigned  only if certain  requirements  in the  Partnership  Agreement are
     satisfied.

(b)  At March 31, 2000, there were 863 Limited Partners.

(c)  The Partnership was not designed to provide cash  distributions  to Limited
     Partners in  circumstances  other than  refinancing  or  disposition of its
     investments in Local Limited Partnerships.

(d)  No unregistered  securities  were sold by the  Partnership  during the year
     ended March 31, 2000.

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

Forward Looking Statements

With  the  exception  of  the  discussion  regarding   historical   information,
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations"  and other  discussions  elsewhere in this Form 10-K contain forward
looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations subject to
uncertainties  and other  factors which may involve known and unknown risks that
could  cause  actual  results  of  operations  to differ  materially  from those
projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon
assumptions about future events which may not prove to be accurate.

Risks and uncertainties  inherent in forward looking statements include, but are
not  limited  to,  our  future  cash  flows and  ability  to  obtain  sufficient
financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the low income housing tax
credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings.
Historical  results are not necessarily  indicative of the operating results for
any future period.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Subsequent  written and oral forward  looking  statements  attributable to us or
persons  acting on our behalf  are  expressly  qualified  in their  entirety  by
cautionary  statements  in this Form 10-K and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The following discussion should be read in
conjunction  with the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and the Notes thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.

Uncertainty with Respect to Investment in Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings

The  Partnership  has three  investments  accounted for under the equity method,
consisting of 99% limited  partnership  interests in each of Alliance Apartments
I, Limited Partnership ("Alliance"), Evergreen Apartments I, Limited Partnership
("Evergreen"), and Hastings Apartments I, Limited Partnership ("Hastings").

The independent auditors engaged to perform an audit of Alliance, Evergreen, and
Hastings'  financial  statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999,
were unable to form an opinion on those  financial  statements.  This was due to
the inability to obtain from the former local general  partner  certain  general
ledger  information  for a period of  approximately  three  months and  reliable
confirmations  of advances  to/notes  receivable  from the former local  general
partner.  Further,  the  independent  auditors were unable to obtain  management
representation  letters from the former property management company, which is an
affiliate of the former local general partner.  As a result, the Partnership has
not included the financial  information  of Alliance,  Evergreen and Hastings in
the combined condensed financial statements presented in Note 3 to the financial
statements. The combined condensed financial information presented in Note 3 for
prior periods has been  restated to exclude the accounts of Alliance,  Evergreen
and  Hastings.  The  Partnership  has  reflected  equity  in the net  losses  of
Alliance,   Evergreen  and  Hastings  totaling  $167,793  ($(9.32)  per  limited
partnership  unit) for the year ended  March 31,  2000,  based on nine months of
reported  results  provided by  Alliance,  Evergreen  and  Hastings and on three
months of results  estimated by  Associates.  Such  estimates  may be materially
misstated due to the lack of corroborative financial information.

Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings continue to experience negative cash flows from
operations.  During the year ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership  advanced
$205,080 in cash to Alliance,  Evergreen  and Hastings for  operating  expenses,
including  legal fees relating to certain  litigation  involving these and other
properties as outlined in Note 8, as well as another  $74,631 in cash since year
end. Associates is currently negotiating for a restructuring of the related bank
loans,  which would  increase cash flow from  operations.  Associates may not be
successful  in  the   restructuring  of  these  loans.  If  the  loans  are  not
restructured,  the  Partnership  may be  unable  to  support  these  properties.
Consequently,  the  Partnership  may be forced  to sell all or a portion  of its
interests in these properties.  Further,  the lender may attempt to foreclose on
the Alliance, Hastings and Evergreen properties.

As a result of the  foregoing,  Associates  has  performed an  evaluation of the
Partnership's remaining investment balances in Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings,
including the cash advances noted above and other anticipated costs. It has been
determined that an impairment  adjustment is necessary and an impairment loss of
$995,804 has been  recognized at March 31, 2000.  This  impairment loss includes
$644,589 in remaining book value of the  Partnership's  investments in Alliance,
Evergreen  and  Hastings,  the  $205,080 and $74,631  cash  advances,  a $50,000
accrual for  anticipated  legal costs,  and $21,504 of estimated  accounting and
other related costs.

As a result of the aforementioned  operating  difficulties and the litigation as
discussed in Item 3, Legal  Proceedings,  there is uncertainty as to whether the
Partnership  will  ultimately  retain its  interests in Alliance,  Evergreen and

                                       11
<PAGE>
Hastings. If the investments are sold or otherwise not retained, the Partnership
could be subject to recapture of tax credits and certain  prior tax  deductions.
There is further  uncertainty  as to costs that the  Partnership  may ultimately
incur in connection  with its  investments in Alliance,  Evergreen and Hastings.
The Partnership's financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Financial Condition

The  Partnership's  assets at March 31, 2000 consisted  primarily of $366,000 in
cash and aggregate  investments  in the eighteen Local Limited  Partnerships  of
$10,968,078. Liabilities at March 31, 2000 primarily consisted of $73,000 due to
limited  partnerships,  $150,000 of accrued  expenses and $27,000 due to general
partner or affiliates for advances.

Results of Operations

Year  Ended  March 31,  2000  Compared  to Year Ended  December  31,  1998.  The
Partnerships  net loss for the  year  ended  March  31,  2000 was  $(1,953,000),
reflecting an increase of $(726,000) from the net loss  experienced for the year
ended December 31, 1998 of $(1,227,000).  The increase in net loss is due to the
impairment  loss  recorded in connection  with three of the limited  partnership
investments totaling $(996,000), a reduction in income of $(19,000), offset by a
reduction  in the equity in losses of limited  partnerships  which  decreased by
$321,000.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
The  Partnership's  net loss for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999 was
$(314,000), reflecting an increase of $133,000 from the net loss experienced for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in net loss is due to equity
in losses of limited  partnerships which increased by $123,000 to $(294,000) for
the three month period ended March 31, 1999 from  $(171,000) for the three month
period ended March 31, 1998.  In addition to the increase in equity in losses of
limited partnerships,  the Partnership  experienced an increase in net loss from
operations  of $10,000 to  $(20,000)  for the three month period ended March 31,
1999 from  $(10,000)  for the three month  period  ended March 31, 1998 due to a
decrease in interest  income of $7,000 and an increase in operating  expenses of
$3,000.

Year Ended  December 31, 1998  Compared to Year Ended  December  31,  1997.  The
Partnership's  net loss for 1998 was  $(1,227,000),  reflecting  an  increase of
$458,000  from the net loss  experienced  in 1997.  The  increase in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses from limited  partnerships  which increased to
$(1,175,000)  in 1998 from  $(790,000)  in 1997,  in  addition  to a decrease in
interest income of $67,000 and an increase in operating expenses of $6,000.

Cash Flows

Year Ended March 31, 2000 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1998. Net decrease
in cash for the year  ended  March 31,  2000 was  $(545,000)  compared  to a net
decrease  in cash for the year ended  December  31,  1998 of  $(1,068,000).  The
change was due primarily to a decrease in investments in limited partnerships of
$1,073,000  offset by an increase of $(205,000) in cash advances paid to limited
partnerships and an increase of $(191,000) in capitalized  acquisition costs and
fees.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
Net decrease in cash during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was  $(39,000)
compared to a net  decrease in cash for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$(488,000). The change was due primarily to a decrease in investments in limited
partnerships  of  $523,000  offset by an  increase  in cash paid to the  General
Partner or affiliates of $48,000 and a decrease in interest received of $22,000.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Year Ended  December 31, 1998  Compared to Year Ended  December  31,  1997.  Net
decrease in cash in 1998 was $(1,068,000), compared to a net decrease in cash in
1997 of $(549,000).  The decrease in cash was higher in 1998 as compared to 1997
due primarily to a decrease in capital contributions from partners of $2,250,000
and a decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $41,000,  offset by a
decrease in offering  expenses of $12,000,  a decrease in investments in Limited
Partnerships  of  $1,745,000  and an  increase  in  distributions  from  Limited
Partnerships of $15,000.

During the year ended March 31, 2000 and the three  months ended March 31, 1999,
accrued  payables,  which consist primarily of related party management fees due
to the General Partner,  decreased by $2,000 and $34,000,  respectively.  During
the year ended December 31, 1998,  accrued  payables  increased by $58,000.  The
General Partner does not anticipate that these accrued fees will be paid in full
until such time as capital reserves are in excess of future foreseeable  working
capital requirements of the Partnership.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at March 31, 2000, to be  sufficient  to meet all  currently  foreseeable
future cash requirements.

Impact of Year 2000

WNC & Associates, Inc.

Status of Readiness

Information Technology (IT) Systems. The Partnership relies on the IT systems of
WNC, its general partner. IT systems include computer hardware and software used
to produce  financial  reports and tax return  information.  This information is
then used to generate  reports to investors and regulatory  agencies,  including
the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.

Non-IT Systems. The Partnership also relies on the non-IT systems of WNC. Non-IT
systems  include  machinery and  equipment  such as  telephones,  voice mail and
electronic postage equipment. The non-IT systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.

Service  Providers.  WNC also  relies on the IT and  non-IT  systems  of service
providers. Service providers include utility companies,  financial institutions,
telecommunications carriers,  municipalities, and other outside vendors. WNC has
obtained verbal assurances from its material service providers (electrical power
provider,  financial institutions and telecommunications carriers) that their IT
and non-IT systems are year 2000  compliant.  To date,  WNC has not  encountered
significant year 2000 issues or business disruptions from its service providers.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $25,000.

                                       13
<PAGE>
Risk of Year 2000 Issues

Although WNC has  encountered no significant  year 2000 issues to date, the most
reasonable  and likely result from  non-year  2000  compliance of systems of the
service  providers  noted  above  would be the  disruption  of  normal  business
operations for WNC. This disruption could, in turn, lead to delays in performing
reporting and fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst
case scenario would be the replacement of a service provider. These delays would
likely  be  temporary  and  would  likely  not  have a  material  effect  on the
Partnership or WNC.

Local Limited Partnerships

Status of Readiness

To date, WNC and the  Partnership  have  encountered  no  significant  year 2000
issues with respect to the Local Limited Partnerships.


Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

There has been and will be no cost to the  Partnership  as a result of assessing
year 2000 issues for the Local  Limited  Partnerships.  Although no  significant
year 2000 issues have been  encountered to date, the cost to deal with potential
year 2000 issues of the Local Limited  Partnerships  cannot be estimated at this
time.

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

Although no significant  year 2000 issues have been  encountered to date,  there
can be no assurance that the Partnership will be unaffected by year 2000 issues.
The most  reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance will be the
disruption of normal  business  operations  for the Local Limited  Partnerships,
including but not limited to the possible  failure to properly collect rents and
meet their obligations in a timely manner.  This disruption would, in turn, lead
to  delays  by the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  in  performing  reporting  and
fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst-case scenario
would  include the  initiation  of  foreclosure  proceedings  on the property by
mortgage debt holders.  Under these  circumstances,  WNC or its affiliates  will
take  actions  necessary  to minimize  the risk of  foreclosure,  including  the
removal and  replacement of a Local General  Partner by the  Partnership.  These
delays would likely be temporary and would likely not have a material  effect on
the Partnership or WNC.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


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
March 31, 2000 and 1999,  and December 31, 1998,  and the related  statements of
operations,  partners'  equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended March
31, 2000,  the three months ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31,
1998. 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.  A  significant  portion  of  the  financial
statements of the limited  partnerships  in which the  Partnership  is a limited
partner were audited by other  auditors whose reports have been furnished to us.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Partnership accounts for
its investments in limited  partnerships using the equity method. The portion of
the Partnership's  investment in limited  partnerships audited by other auditors
represented 65%, 83% and 83% of the total assets of the Partnership at March 31,
2000 and 1999, and December 31, 1998,  respectively.  Our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts  included  in the  financial  statements  for the limited
partnerships which were audited by others, is based solely on the reports of the
other auditors.

Except as  discussed in the  following  paragraph,  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.

As  more  thoroughly  discussed  in  Note 2 to  the  financial  statements,  the
independent  auditors engaged to perform the audits of the financial  statements
as of and for the year ended  December 31, 1999 for Alliance  Apartments I, L.P.
("Alliance"), Evergreen Apartments I, L.P. ("Evergreen") and Hastings Apartments
I, L.P.  ("Hastings"),  were  unable to express  an  opinion on those  financial
statements.  The Partnership has reflected equity in the net losses of Alliance,
Evergreen and Hastings totaling $167,793 ($(9.32) per limited  partnership unit)
for the year  ended  March  31,  2000.  The  Partnership  has also  recorded  an
impairment of its investment in all three limited partnerships totaling $995,804
($(55.32) per limited partnership unit) for the year ended March 31, 2000.

In our  opinion,  except for the effects of such  adjustments,  if any, as might
have been determined to be necessary had the  independent  auditors been able to
form an opinion on Alliance,  Evergreen and Hastings' financial statements,  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 March 31, 2000 and 1999, and December 31,
1998,  and the results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the year ended
March 31,  2000,  the three  months  ended  March  31,  1999 and the year  ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


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


We have audited the statements of  operations,  partners'  equity  (deficit) and
cash flows of WNC  Housing  Tax  Credit  Fund V,  L.P.,  Series 3 (a  California
Limited  Partnership) (the  "Partnership") for the year ended December 31, 1997.
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  investment in these
limited  partnerships  represented  87% of the total  assets of WNC  Housing Tax
Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3 at December 31, 1997. 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,
and the results of its  operations  and its cash flows of WNC Housing Tax Credit
Fund V, L.P.,  Series 3 (a California  Limited  Partnership)  for the year ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 3, a California Limited  Partnership
(the  "Partnership"),  was formed on March 28, 1995, under the laws of the state
of California.  The Partnership was formed to invest  primarily in other limited
partnerships   (the  "Local  Limited   Partnerships")   which  own  and  operate
multi-family housing complexes (the "Housing Complex") that are eligible for low
income  housing  credits.   The  local  general  partners  (the  "Local  General
Partners")  of  each  Local  Limited   Partnership  retain   responsibility  for
maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complex.

The general partner is WNC & Associates,  Inc. ("WNC").  Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr.,
through the Cooper  Revocable Trust owns 66.8% of the outstanding  stock of WNC.
John B. Lester was the  original  limited  partner of the  Partnership  and owns
28.6% of the outstanding stock of WNC. Wilfred N. Cooper, Jr., President of WNC,
owns 2.1% of the outstanding stock of WNC.

The Partnership  shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2050
unless terminated prior to that date pursuant to the partnership agreement or
law.

The financial  statements  include only activity relating to the business of the
Partnership,  and do not give  effect to any assets that the  partners  may have
outside of their interests in the Partnership, or to any obligations,  including
income taxes, of the partners.

The  partnership  agreement  authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units at $1,000
per Unit  ("Units").  The offering of Units  concluded in January 1996, at which
time 18,000 Units representing  subscriptions in the amount of $17,558,985,  net
of $441,015 of discounts for volume  purchases,  had been accepted.  The General
Partner has a 1% interest in operating  profits and losses,  taxable  income and
losses,  cash available for  distribution  from the Partnership and tax credits.
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  proceeds
equal  to its  capital  contribution  and a  subordinated  disposition  fee  (as
described in Note 3) from the  remainder,  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.

Change in Reporting Year End

In 1999, the Partnership  elected to change its year end for financial reporting
purposes from December 31 to March 31. All  financial  information  reflected in
the financial statements and related footnotes has been adjusted for this change
in year end except for the combined condensed financial  information relating to
the Local Limited Partnerships included in Note 3.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Risks and Uncertainties

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 of multi-unit  residential  real estate.  Some of these
risks  are that the low  income  housing  credit  could be  recaptured  and that
neither the  Partnership's  investments  nor the Housing  Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes  receive  government  financing  or operating  subsidies,  they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests;  limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations.  The Housing Complexes are or will be subject
to  mortgage  indebtedness.  If a Local  Limited  Partnership  does not make its
mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing
Complex  and low  income  housing  credits.  As a limited  partner  of the Local
Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect
to management of the Local  Limited  Partnerships,  and will rely totally on the
Local General  Partners of the Local Limited  Partnerships for management of the
Local 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  Housing  Complexes  and the
Partnership.  In addition,  each Local Limited  Partnership  is subject to risks
relating  to  environmental   hazards  and  natural  disasters  which  might  be
uninsurable. Because the Partnership's 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 the  anticipated  low income  housing
credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition,  Limited  Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the low income  housing  credit are  complicated,  and the use of credits can be
limited.  The only  material  benefit from an investment in Units may be the low
income housing credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop.  All management decisions will
be made by the General Partner.

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 Local Limited  Partnership's  results of operations
and for any distributions received. The accounting policies of the Local Limited
Partnerships are consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the
Partnership  in  acquiring  the  investments  are  capitalized  as  part  of the
investment account and are being amortized over 30 years (see Note 3).

Losses from limited  partnerships for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
have been recorded by the Partnership  based on reported results provided by the
Local  Limited  Partnerships.  Losses from  limited  partnerships  for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1999  have  been   estimated  by  management  of  the
Partnership.  Losses from limited partnerships for the year ended March 31, 2000
have been recorded by the Partnership  based on nine months of reported  results
provided  by the Local  Limited  Partnerships  and on three  months  of  results
estimated by management of the Partnership. Losses from the limited partnerships
allocated  to the  Partnership  will not be  recognized  to the extent  that the
investment balance would be adjusted below zero.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Offering Expenses

Offering  expenses consist of underwriting  commissions,  legal fees,  printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in connection 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 limited partners' capital and amounted to $2,132,000
at the end of all periods presented.

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2000
and 1999, and December 31, 1998, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 2000, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain financial
institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit

Net loss per limited  partnership  unit is  calculated  pursuant to Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share. Net loss per unit
includes no dilution  and is computed  by  dividing  loss  available  to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.
Calculation of diluted net income per unit is not required.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

In June 1997,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  This statement  establishes
standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that
all items that are  required to be  recognized  under  accounting  standards  as
components of comprehensive  income be included in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Comprehensive
income  includes net income as well as certain items that are reported  directly
within a separate  component  of  partners'  equity and bypass net  income.  The
Partnership  adopted the  provisions of this  statement in 1998. For the periods
presented,  the Partnership has no elements of other  comprehensive  income,  as
defined by SFAS No. 130.

Reclassifications

Certain  prior  year  balances  have been  reclassified  to  conform to the 2000
presentation.

NOTE 2 -  UNCERTAINTY  WITH RESPECT TO  INVESTMENTS  IN ALLIANCE,  EVERGREEN AND
          HASTINGS: IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENTS

The  Partnership  has three  investments  accounted for under the equity method,
consisting of a 99% limited partnership  interest in each of Alliance Apartments
I, Limited Partnership ("Alliance"), Evergreen Apartments I, Limited Partnership
("Evergreen"), and Hastings Apartments I, Limited Partnership ("Hastings").

The independent auditors engaged to perform an audit of Alliance, Evergreen, and
Hastings'  financial  statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999,
were unable to form an opinion on those  financial  statements.  This was due to
the inability to obtain from the former local general  partner  certain  general
ledger  information  for a period of  approximately  three  months and  reliable
confirmations  of advances  to/notes  receivable  from the former local  general
partner.  Further,  the  independent  auditors were unable to obtain  management
representation  letters from the former property management company, which is an
affiliate of the former local general partner.  As a result, the Partnership has
not included the financial  information  of Alliance,  Evergreen and Hastings in
the combined condensed  financial  statements  presented in Note 3. The combined
condensed financial  information  presented in Note 3 for prior periods has been
restated to exclude the  accounts  of  Alliance,  Evergreen  and  Hastings.  The
Partnership  has reflected  equity in the net losses of Alliance,  Evergreen and
Hastings totaling  $167,793 ($(9.32) per limited  partnership unit) for the year
ended  March 31,  2000,  based on nine months of  reported  results  provided by
Alliance,  Evergreen  and Hastings  and on three months of results  estimated by
WNC. Such estimates may be materially misstated due to the lack of corroborative
financial information.

Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings continue to experience negative cash flows from
operations.  During the year ended  March 31,  2000,  the  Partnership  advanced
$205,080 in cash to Alliance,  Evergreen  and Hastings for  operating  expenses,
including  legal fees relating to certain  litigation  involving these and other
properties as outlined in Note 8, as well as another  $74,631 in cash since year
end. WNC is currently negotiating for a restructuring of the related bank loans,
which would increase cash flow from operations. WNC may not be successful in the
restructuring of these loans. If the loans are not restructured, the Partnership
may be unable to support these properties.  Consequently, the Partnership may be
forced to sell all or a portion of its interests in these  properties.  Further,
the lender may attempt to foreclose  on the  Alliance,  Hastings  and  Evergreen
properties.

As  a  result  of  the  foregoing,  WNC  has  performed  an  evaluation  of  the
Partnership's remaining investment balances in Alliance, Evergreen and Hastings,
including the cash advances noted above and other anticipated costs. It has been
determined that an impairment  adjustment is necessary and an impairment loss of
$995,804 has been  recognized at March 31, 2000.  This  impairment loss includes
$644,589 in remaining book value of the  Partnership's  investments in Alliance,
Evergreen  and  Hastings,  the  $205,080 and $74,631  cash  advances,  a $50,000
accrual for  anticipated  legal costs,  and $21,504 of estimated  accounting and
other related costs.

As a result of the aforementioned  operating  difficulties and the litigation as
discussed in Note 8, there is  uncertainty  as to whether the  Partnership  will
ultimately  retain its interests in Alliance,  Evergreen  and  Hastings.  If the
investments are sold or otherwise not retained, the Partnership could be subject
to recapture of tax credits and certain prior tax  deductions.  There is further
uncertainty as to costs that the Partnership may ultimately  incur in connection
with its  investments  in Alliance,  Evergreen and Hastings.  The  Partnership's
financial  statements do not include any adjustments  that might result from the
outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of the periods  presented,  the Partnership has acquired limited  partnership
interests  in 18 Local  Limited  Partnerships,  each of which  owns one  Housing
Complex  consisting of an aggregate of 1,196  apartment  units.  The  respective
general  partners  of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  manage  the  day to day
operations  of the entities.  Significant  Local  Limited  Partnership  business
decisions require approval from the Partnership.  The Partnership,  as a limited
partner,  is  generally  entitled  to 99%,  as  specified  in the Local  Limited
Partnership agreements,  of the operating profits and losses, taxable income and
losses and tax credits of the Local Limited Partnerships,  except for one of the
investments in which it is entitled to 49.49% of such amounts.

The Partnership's  investments in Local Limited Partnerships as reflected in the
balance  sheet at March 31, 2000 and at the  preceding  December 31,  1999,  are
approximately  $1,137,000  and  $1,729,000,   respectively,   greater  than  the
Partnership's  equity  as  shown in the  Local  Limited  Partnerships'  combined
financial  statements  presented  below.  This  difference  is partially  due to
acquisition  costs related to the acquisition of the investments  that have been
capitalized  in the  Partnership's  investment  account,  unrecorded  losses and
capital  contributions  payable to the  limited  partnerships  which were netted
against partner capital in the Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements.
The  Partnership's  investment  is also lower than the  Partnership's  equity as
shown in the Local Limited  Partnership's  combined financial  statements due to
the losses  recorded by the  Partnership  for the three month period ended March
31. Lastly,  the difference is due to the exclusion of the financial  statements
of  Alliance,  Hastings and  Evergreen  from the  combined  condensed  financial
information presented below. See Note 2 for discussion.

Equity in losses of Local  Limited  Partnerships  is recognized in the financial
statements  until the related  investment  account is reduced to a zero balance.
Losses  incurred  after  the  investment  account  is  reduced  to zero  are not
recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years,
the  Partnership  will resume applying the equity method only after its share of
such net  income  equals  the share of net  losses  not  recognized  during  the
period(s) the equity method was suspended.

Distributions  received by limited  partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance.  Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are recognized as income.  During the year ended March 31, 2000, one of the
investment  accounts  reached a zero balance.  Losses related to that investment
totaled $123,000.

Certain Local Limited  Partnerships have incurred  significant  operating losses
and  have  working  capital  deficiencies.  In the  event  these  Local  Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses,  additional capital
contributions  by the  Partnership  and/or  the  Local  General  Partner  may be
required  to sustain  the  operations  of such Local  Limited  Partnerships.  If
additional  capital  contributions  are not made  when  they are  required,  the
Partnership's  investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be
impaired and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of the  Partnership  Agreement,  the  Partnership has paid or 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
         Units as  compensation  for services  rendered in  connection  with the
         acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships. As of December 31, 1996, the
         Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $1,008,550 which were 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, 1998 and March 31, 1999. Additional

various  times  based  on  conditions   specified  in  the  respective   limited
partnership agreements.  These contributions are payable in installments and are
generally due upon the Local Limited Partnerships  achieving certain development
and  operating  benchmarks  (generally  within  two  years of the  Partnership's

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                       For the Year Ended March 31, 2000,
                  For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and
                 For The Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997

NOTE 7 - SUBSCRIPTIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

During 1996, the Partnership  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.  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 but before the issuance of the
respective  financial  statements,  the  Partnership  reflected  such amounts as
capital  contributions  and an  asset in the  financial  statements.  Since  the
promissory  notes had not been  collected  prior to issuance  of the  respective
financial  statements,  the unpaid  balance  was  reflected  as a  reduction  of
partners' equity in the financial statements.  Upon collection of the promissory
notes,  such  amounts  were  reflected  as  capital  contributions  in the  year
collected.

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

During the year, WNC identified a potential problem with a developer who, at the
time,  was the local  general  partner in six Local  Limited  Partnerships.  The
Partnership has 99% limited partnership  investments in three of those six Local
Limited  Partnerships.  Those  investments are Alliance  Apartments I, Evergreen
Apartments  I  and  Hastings  Apartments  I.  All  the  properties  continue  to
experience  operating  deficits.  The local general  partner  ceased funding the
operating deficits,  which placed the Local Limited  Partnerships in jeopardy of
foreclosure. Consequently, WNC voted to remove the local general partner and the
management company from the Local Limited Partnerships.  After the local general
partner contested its removal, WNC commenced legal action on behalf of the Local
Limited  Partnerships  and was  successful  in getting a receiver  appointed  to
manage the Local Limited  Partnerships  and an unaffiliated  entity appointed as
property  manager.  WNC was  subsequently  successful  in  attaining  a  summary
judgment to confirm the removal of the local general  partner,  the receiver was
discharged and WNC now controls all six of the Local Limited Partnerships.

The six Local Limited Partnerships (hereinafter referred to as "Defendants") are
now defendants in a separate lawsuit.  The lawsuit has been filed by eight other
partnerships   in  which  the  local  general   partner  of  the  Local  Limited
Partnerships is or was involved (the  "Plaintiffs").  The Plaintiffs allege that
the local general  partner  accepted  funds from the  Plaintiffs  and improperly
loaned these funds to the  Defendants.  Discovery in this lawsuit is ongoing and
WNC will continue to pursue an aggressive defense on behalf of the Defendants.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership  investment in Cascade Pines, L.P.
II ("Cascade"). Cascade is a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit and a related
injury  lawsuit.  Cascade  carries  general  liability  and  extended  liability
insurance.  Discovery  for these  lawsuits is  ongoing,  but the  management  of
Cascade and WNC are unable to  determine  the outcome of these  lawsuits at this
time or their impact, if any, on the Partnership's financial statements.  Should
Cascade be  unsuccessful in its defense and the insurer denies  coverage,  which
they have  indicated  that they might,  or the insurance  coverage  proves to be
inadequate,  the  Partnership  may be  required  to sell its  investment  or may
otherwise lose its investment in Cascade.  Loss of the Cascade  investment could
result in recapture of tax credits and certain prior tax deductions.

         consent  or  approval  of  the  Limited  Partners.  In  addition,   the
         Partnership  Agreement  provides  for  the  admission  of one  or  more
         additional and successor General Partners in certain circumstances.

         First,   with  the  consent  of  any  other  General   Partners  and  a
         majority-in-interest  of the Limited Partners,  any General Partner may
         designate  one or more persons to be successor  or  additional  General
         Partners. In addition,  any General Partner may, without the consent of
         any other General  Partner or the Limited  Partners,  (i) substitute in
         its  stead  as  General  Partner  any  entity  which  has,  by  merger,
         consolidation or otherwise,  acquired  substantially all of its assets,
         stock or other evidence of equity  interest and continued its business,
         or (ii) cause to be admitted to the  Partnership an additional  General
         Partner or  Partners  if it deems such  admission  to be  necessary  or
         desirable so that the Partnership  will be classified a partnership for
         Federal income tax purposes.  Finally,  a  majority-in-interest  of the
         Limited  Partners  may at any time  remove the  General  Partner of the
         Partnership and elect a successor General Partner.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The General Partner manages all of the Partnership's  affairs.  The transactions
with  the  General  Partner  are  primarily  in the  form  of  fees  paid by the
Partnership for services  rendered to the Partnership and the General  Partner's
interest in the  Partnership,  as  discussed  in Item 11 and in the notes to the
Partnership's financial statements.

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


The audits  referred to in our report dated July 3, 2000,  relating to the 2000,
1999 and 1998  financial  statements  of WNC  Housing  Tax Credit  Fund V, L.P.,
Series 3 (the  "Partnership"),  which is  contained in Item 8 of this Form 10-K,
included  the  audit of the  accompanying  financial  statement  schedules.  The
financial  statement  schedules  are  the  responsibility  of the  Partnership's
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statement  schedules  based  upon  our  audits.  The  opinion  to the  financial
statements contains an audit scope limitation paragraph describing the inability
of other  auditors to express an opinion on the  financial  statements  of three
limited partnerships.

In our opinion,  such  financial  statement  schedules  present  fairly,  in all
material respects, the financial information set forth therein.
