                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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

Organization
- ------------
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, V, L.P.,  Series 4 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under  the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act on July 26,  1994 and
commenced  operations  on July 1,  1996.  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 information  contained in the following notes to the financial statements is
condensed  from that  which  would  appear in the annual  financial  statements;
accordingly,  the  financial  statements  included  herein should be reviewed in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto contained in
the  Partnership's  financial  statements for the period ended December 31, 1997
(audited).

In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1998
and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.  Accounting  measurements  at interim  dates  inherently  involve
greater  reliance on estimates  than at year end. The results of operations  for
the interim period  presented are not necessarily  indicative of the results for
the entire year.

The general partner of the  Partnership is WNC & Associates,  Inc. (the "General
Partner".) Wilfred N. Cooper,  Sr., through the Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 70%
of the outstanding  stock of WNC & Associates,  Inc. John B. Lester,  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.

Allocations Under the Terms of the Partnership Agreement
- --------------------------------------------------------
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 sale or refinancing  proceeds equal to
their capital  contributions  and their return on investment  (as defined in the
Partnership's  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership)  and the general  partner has
received a  subordinated  disposition  fee 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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------


Method of Accounting For Investment 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 each limited  partnership's  results of operations  and
for any distributions  received.  Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring
the  investments  in  limited  partnerships  are  capitalized  as  part  of  the
investment.

Losses from the limited  partnerships  will not be recognized to the extent that
the individual investment balance would be adjusted below zero.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The  Partnership  considers all bank  certificates of deposit with a maturity of
less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Offering Expenses
- -----------------
Offering  expenses consist of underwriting  commissions,  legal fees,  printing,
filing and  recordation  fees,  and other costs  incurred  with selling  limited
partnership  interests in the  Partnership.  The General Partner is obligated to
pay all  offering and  organization  costs in excess of 14.5%  (including  sales
commissions) of the total offering proceeds.  Offering expenses are reflected as
a reduction of partners' capital.

Organization Costs
- ------------------
Organization costs will be amortized on the straight-line method over 60 months.


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

Loans receivable  represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain limited
partnerships in which the  Partnership  may invest.  These loans will be applied
against  the  first  capital  contribution  due  if the  Partnership  ultimately
acquires a limited partnership  interest. In the event that the Partnership does
not  acquire a limited  partnership  interest,  the loans are to be repaid  with
interest at a rate which is equal to the rate charged to the holder.

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

     Acquisition  fees  up to  7.5%  of the  gross  proceeds  from  the  sale of
     Partnership  units.  Through  June  30,  1998  and  December  31,  1997 the

     the permanent financing) of the local limited partnerships. The Partnership

NOTE 5 - PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

- ---------------------------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Partnership collected payments of
$175,000 for those  promissory  notes  previously  issued.  Limited partners who
subscribe for ten or more units of limited  partnership  interest  ($10,000) may
elect  to pay 50% of such  purchase  price  in cash  upon  subscription  and the
remaining 50% by the delivery of a promissory note payable  bearing  interest at
the  rate of  9.75%  per  annum,  and  are due no  later  than 13  months  after
subscription. All such notes have been collected.

returns.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P.,  Series 4 (the Partnership) is a California
Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California on July 26,
1994  to  acquire  limited  partnership  interests  (Local  Limited  Partnership
Interests) in local limited  partnerships  ("Local Limited  Partnerships") which
own multifamily  apartment complexes (Apartment Complexes) that are eligible for
low-income housing federal income tax credits (the "Low Income Housing Credit").


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

Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash  equivalents of  approximately  $1,622,000 for the six
months  ended June 30,  1998.  This  decrease in cash  consisted of cash used by
investing  activities and financing  activities of approximately  $1,705,000 and
$34,000,  respectively,  offset by cash  provided  by  operating  activities  of
approximately $117,000. Cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of
capital contributions to Local Limited Partnerships,  and payment of capitalized
acquisitions  costs of approximately  $1,709,000 offset by approximately  $4,000
cash provided by distributions of limited  partnerships.  Cash used by financing
activities  consisted of offering expenses of approximately  $209,000 less notes
collected  from limited  partners of $175,000.  Cash  provided  from  operations
consisted  primarily  of interest  received on cash  deposits,  and cash used in
operations consisted primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses.  The
major components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.

As of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the  Partnership was indebted to WNC &
Associates,   Inc.  in  the  amount  of   approximately   $68,300  and  $52,200,
respectively. The component items of such indebtedness were as follows: advances
to pay  front-end  fees of  approximately  $(12,500)  and $1,100,  respectively,
accrued   asset   management   fees  of   approximately   $80,800  and  $51,100,
respectively.

As of June 30, 1998, the Partnership had received subscriptions for 22,000 units
of limited partnership interests ("Units"), consisting of cash $21,914,830.

As of  September  30,  1998,  June 30, 1998 and as of  December  31,  1997,  the
Partnership had made capital  contributions to Local Limited Partnerships in the
amount of approximately $12,620,500, $12,551,700 and $10,733,100,  respectively,
and had  commitments  for  additional  capital  contributions  of  approximately
$2,009,200,  $1,525,600 and $2,880,800,  respectively.  Further, the Partnership
had loans  outstanding to Local Limited  Partnerships  as of September 30, as of
June 30, 1998 and as of December 31, 1997, of  approximately  $91,000,  $191,200
and $301,200,  respectively.  Of the amount outstanding as of December 31, 1997,
approximately   $110,000   was  loaned  to  WYNWOOD   and  was  applied  to  the
Partnership's  purchase price upon acquisition of that Local Limited Partnership
Interest in May,  1998 and the amount of  approximately  $100,200  was repaid by
OGALLALA  subsequent to June 30, 1998. The amount  remaining of the December 31,
1997  balance  and  outstanding  as of  March  31,  and  September  31,  1997 of
approximately $91,000 was loaned to COLONIAL PINES.

Prior to sale of the  Apartment  Complexes,  it is not expected  that any of the
Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership have invested or will invest
will generate cash from operations  sufficient to provide  distributions  to the
Limited Partners in any material amount. Such cash from operations, if any,


                                       13


<PAGE>


would first be used to meet  operating  expenses of the  Partnership,  including
payment of the asset management fee to the General Partner.  As a result,  it is
not anticipated that the Partnerships will provide  distributions to the Limited
Partners prior to the sale of the Apartment Complexes.

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

The  Partnership  will  establish  working  capital  reserves  of at least 3% of
capital  contributions,  an amount  which is  anticipated  to be  sufficient  to
satisfy general working capital and administrative  expense  requirements of the
Partnerships  excluding  payment of the asset management fee as well as expenses
attendant to the preparation of tax returns and reports to the Limited  Partners
and other investor servicing  obligations of the Partnerships.  Liquidity would,
however,  be adversely  affected by  unanticipated  or greater than  anticipated
operating costs. The Partnerships'  liquidity could also be affected by defaults
or delays in payment of the Limited  Partners'  promissory  notes,  from which a
portion of the working capital reserves is expected to be funded.  To the extent
that working capital reserves are insufficient to satisfy the cash  requirements
of the  Partnerships,  it is anticipated  that additional  funds would be sought
through bank loans or other  institutional  financing.  The General  Partner may
also apply any cash distributions  received from the Local Limited  Partnerships
for such purposes or to replenish or increase working capital reserves.

Under the Partnership  Agreements the  Partnership  does not have the ability to
assess the Limited  Partners for  additional  capital  contributions  to provide
capital  if  needed  by  the   Partnerships   or  Local  Limited   Partnerships.
Accordingly, if circumstances arise that cause the Local Limited Partnerships to
require  capital in addition to that  contributed  by the  Partnerships  and any
equity  contributed by the general  partners of the Local Limited  Partnerships,
the only  sources  from which such  capital  needs will be able to be  satisfied
(other than the limited reserves  available at The  Partnerships  level) will be
(i) third-party debt financing (which may not be available, if, as expected, the
Apartment  Complexes  owned  by  the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  are  already
substantially  leveraged),  (ii) additional equity  contributions or advances of
the general  partners of the Local Limited  Partnerships  (in this regard,  each
local general  partner is required to fund  operating  deficits,  but only for a
period of two years  following  construction  completion),  (iii)  other  equity
sources (which could adversely affect the Partnerships'  interest in Housing Tax
Credits,  cash flow and/or  proceeds  of sale or  refinancing  of the  Apartment
Complexes and result in adverse tax  consequences to the Limited  Partners),  or
(iv) the sale or  disposition of the Apartment  Complexes  (which could have the
same adverse  effects as discussed  in (iii)  above).  There can be no assurance
that funds from any of such sources  would be readily  available  in  sufficient
amounts to fund the capital  requirement  of the Local Limited  Partnerships  in
question. If such funds are not available,  the Local Limited Partnerships would
risk   foreclosure  on  their  Apartment   Complexes  if  they  were  unable  to
re-negotiate  the terms of their first  mortgages  and any other debt secured by
the  Apartment  Complexes  to the extent the capital  requirements  of the Local
Limited Partnerships relate to such debt.

The  Partnership's  capital  needs and  resources  are expected to undergo major
changes  during  their  first  several  years of  operations  as a result of the
completion of their  offerings of Units and their  acquisition  of  investments.
Thereafter,  the  Partnerships'  capital  needs and resources are expected to be
relatively  stable over the  holding  periods of the  investments  except to the
extent of proceeds received in payment of promissory notes and disbursed to fund
the deferred obligations of the Partnership.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
As of December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 the  Partnership  had acquired ten and
eleven Local Limited  Partnership  Interests,  respectively.  Each of the eleven
Local  Limited  Partnerships  receives  or is  expected  to  receive  government
assistance and each of them has received a reservation  for Housing Tax Credits.
As of June 30,  1998,  ten of the  Apartment  Complexes in the  Partnership  had
commenced  operations,  eight  of  them  for a  period  less  than a full  year.
Accordingly,  the "Equity in losses  from Local  Limited  Partnerships"  for the
periods ended December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 reflected in the Partnership's
Statement  of  Operations  is not  indicative  of the  amounts to be reported in
future years.

As reflected on its Statements of Operations,  The  Partnership  had a losses of
approximately  $288,000  and $8,000 for the six months  ended June 30,  1998 and
1997. The component items of revenue and expense are discussed below.

Revenue.  The Partnership's  revenues  consisted  entirely of interest earned on
promissory  notes  and  cash  deposits  held in  financial  institutions  (i) as
reserves,  or (ii) pending  investment in Local 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 capital contributions.

Expenses.  The most  significant  component  of  operating  expenses  was and is
expected to be the Asset  Management  Fee. The Asset  Management Fee is equal to
the  greater of (i) $2,000 for each  Apartment  Complex or (ii)  0.275% of gross
proceeds,  and will be decreased or increased  annually  based on changes to the
Consumer Price Index.

Amortization  expense consist of the  amortization  over a period of 30 years of
the Acquisition Fee and other expenses  attributable to the acquisition of Local
Limited Partnership Interests.

Because of the  amounts of the Asset  Management  Fee and  amortization  expense
primarily are determined by the gross proceeds from the offering, the number and
size of Apartment  Complexes and the number of investors,  until  termination of
the Offering and investment of the net proceeds therefrom The Partnership cannot
predict with any accuracy what these amounts will be.

Equity in Losses  from Local  Limited  Partnership.  Series 3's equity in losses
from Local Limited  Partnerships  is equal to 99% of the aggregate net losses of
each Local Limited Partnership  incurred after admission of The Partnership as a
limited partner thereof.

After rent-up all 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.

The  Partnership  accounts for its investments in Local  Partnerships  using the
equity method of  accounting,  whereby The  Partnership  reduces its  investment
balance for its share of Local  Partnerships'  losses and distributions.  Losses
are not recognized to the extent that the  investment  balance would be adjusted
below zero.
