PART 1.

Item 1. Business

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 5 (the "Partnership") was formed
under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on March 3, 1997 and
commenced operations on August 29, 1997. The Partnership was formed to invest
primarily in other limited partnerships or limited liability companies which
will own and operate multifamily housing complexes that are eligible for
low-income housing federal and, in certain cases, California income tax credits
("Low Income Housing Credit").

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

Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 23, 1997, 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 on July 9, 1998, the Partnership
had received and accepted subscriptions for 25,000 Units in the amount of
$24,918,175 net of volume and dealer discounts of $81,825. Holders of Units are
referred to herein as "Limited Partners."

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
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.

3

As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership had invested in thirteen 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 makes 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 thirteen Housing Complexes as of the dates and for
the periods indicated:

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

Financial Condition

The Partnership's assets at March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of $3,103,000 in
cash, $4,835,000 in cash in escrow, $39,000 in subscriptions receivable and
aggregate investments in the thirteen Local Limited Partnerships of $19,968,000.
Liabilities at March 31, 1999 primarily consisted of $6,131,000 due to limited
partnerships, $47,000 in annual asset management fees and $113,000 in advances
and other payables due to the General Partner or affiliates.

Results of Operations

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
$(43,000), reflecting a decrease of $75,000 from the net income experienced for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The change is primarily due to a decrease
in interest income of $39,000 to $14,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 from $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and an increase in
equity in losses of limited partnerships of $8,000 to $(22,000) for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from $(14,000) for the three months ended March 31,
1998. In addition, amortization expense increased by $8,000, asset management
fees increased by $16,000 and other operating expenses increased by $3,000.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Period Ended December 31, 1997. The
Partnership's net income for 1998 was $55,000, reflecting an increase of $53,000
from the net income experienced in 1997. The increase in net income is primarily
due to interest income, which increased to $286,000 in 1998 from $10,000 in
1997, offset by an increase in equity in losses of limited partnerships of
$112,000, an increase of $66,000 in annual asset management fees, and a $45,000
increase in amortization expense.

10

Cash Flows

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
$(419,000), compared to a net increase in cash for the three months ended March
31, 1998 of $2,723,000. The change was due primarily to a decrease in capital
contributions of $5,411,000 and an increase in cash paid to the General Partner
or affiliates of $18,000, offset by an increase in collections of notes
receivable due from limited partners of $880,000, a decrease in offering
expenses paid of $533,000, a decrease in investments in limited partnerships of
$608,000 and a decrease in acquisition fees and costs of $266,000.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Period Ended December 31, 1997. Net
decrease in cash in 1998 was $(1,368,000), compared to a net increase in cash in
1997 of $4,890,000. The change was due primarily to an increase in investments
in limited partnerships of $6,763,000, an increase in funds held in escrow
disbursement accounts of $4,288,000, an increase in capitalized acquisition
costs of $500,000, and an increase in cash used in operating activities of
$118,000. These increases are offset by an increase in capital contributions of
$5,742,000 and an increase in collections on notes receivable of $632,000,
reduced by $962,000 for increases in offering costs.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31,
1998, accrued payables, which consist of related party management fees and
advances due to the General Partner, increased by $63,000 and decreased by
$265,000, respectively.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at March 31, 1999, to be sufficient to meet all currently forseeable
future cash requirements.

Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the Partnership is in negotiations to acquire one
additional Local Limited Partnership interest which would commit the Partnership
to additional capital contributions of $670,000, of which $0 has been advanced
as of March 31, 1999.

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. Except for one telephone system, the non-IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant. The one telephone system will require
the replacement of one computer and one software application, both of which will
be completed on or before October 1, 1999.

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. There can be no assurance that this
compliance information is correct. There also can be no assurance that the
systems of other, less-important service providers and outside vendors will be
year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $20,000. The
cost to replace the telephone system noted above will be less than $5,000. The
cost to deal with potential year 2000 issues of other outside vendors cannot be
estimated at this time.

11

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

The most reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance of systems
of the service providers noted above will be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption would, 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

WNC is in the process of obtaining year 2000 certifications from each Local
General Partner of each Local Limited Partnership. Those certifications will
represent to the Partnership that the IT and non-IT systems critical to the
operation of the Housing Complexes and investor reporting to the Partnership are
year 2000 compliant. These certifications will also represent to the Partnership
that the IT and non-IT systems of property management companies, independent
accountants, electrical power providers, financial institutions and
telecommunications carriers used by the Local Limited Partnership are year 2000
compliant.

There can be no assurance that the representations in the certifications will be
correct. There also can be no assurance that the systems of other,
less-important service providers and outside vendors, upon which the Local
Limited Partnerships rely, will be year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

There will be no cost to the Partnership as a result of assessing year 2000
issues for the Local Limited Partnerships. 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

There may be Local General Partners who indicate that they or their property
management company are not year 2000 compliant and do not have plans to become
year 2000 compliant before the end of 1999. There may be other Local General
Partners who are unwilling to respond to the certification request. The most
likely result of either non-compliance or failure to respond will be the removal
and replacement of the property management company and/or the Local General
Partner with year 2000 compliant operators.

Despite the efforts to obtain certifications, 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 VI, L.P., Series 5


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
VI, L.P., Series 5 (a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations,
partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for 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 37% and 33% of the total
assets of the Partnership at March 31, 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.

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 VI, L.P., Series 5 (a
California Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 5


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
VI, L.P., Series 5 (a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of

commenced) through 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 VI, L.P., Series 5 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 25% of the
total assets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P., Series 5 at December 31,
1997. 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (Unaudited) and
For The Year Ended December 31, 1998 and For The Period August 29, 1997
(Date Operations Commenced) Through December 31, 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 5, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on March 3, 1997 under the laws of the state of
California, and commenced operations on August 29, 1997. The Partnership was
formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships and limited liability
companies (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") (the "General Partner"), a
California limited partnership. 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, through the Lester
Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of WNC.

The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2052,
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 on July 9, 1998 at which
time 25,000 Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $24,918,175, net
of discount of $54,595 for volume purchases and $27,230 for dealer discounts,
had been accepted. The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits
and losses, taxable income and losses, in cash available for distribution from
the Partnership and tax credits. The limited partners will be allocated the
remaining 99% interest 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 4) 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

The Partnership has 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.

Due to the change in year end, unaudited financial information as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 is included in the financial statements for
comparative purposes only. The financial statements as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 are unaudited but include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of
operations of the Partnership for the interim period.

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
Partnership's 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 and 1998 have been estimated by management of the
Partnership. Losses from Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership
are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted
below zero.

Offering Expenses

Offering expenses consist of underwriting commissions, legal fees, printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred 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 14.5%
(including sales commissions) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses
are reflected as a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to
$3,248,440, $3,183,115 and $1,257,504 as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

For The Year Ended December 31, 1998 and For The Period August 29, 1997
(Date Operations Commenced) Through December 31, 1997

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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The
Partnerships cash equivalents consisted of investments in tax exempt bonds
totaling $2,730,675 and $3,400,000 as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 1999, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain financial
institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partner Unit

Net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated pursuant to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net
income (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 1999
presentation.

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain Local
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership may invest. These loans are
generally applied against the first capital contribution due if the Partnership
ultimately invests in such entities. In the event that the Partnership does not
invest in such entities, the loans are to be repaid with interest at a rate
which is equal to the rate charged to the holder. Loans receivable with a

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership has
acquired limited partnership interests in 13 Local Limited Partnerships, each of
which owns one Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate of 591 apartment
units. As of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 construction or rehabilitation
of 5 of the Housing Complexes were still in process. 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.

The Partnership's investments in limited partnerships as reflected in the
balance sheets at December 31, 1998 and 1997, are approximately $10,382,000 and
$1,559,000, respectively, greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the
Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements. This difference is primarily
due to acquisition, selection, and other costs related to the acquisition of the
investments which have been capitalized in the Partnership's investment account
and to capital contributions payable to the limited partnerships which were
netted against partner capital in the Local Limited Partnerships' financial
statements (see Notes 4 and 5).

Equity in losses of the 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. As of March 31, 1999, no investment accounts in
Local Limited Partnerships reached a zero balance.

The following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
limited partnerships for the periods presented:

Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
