NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Quarter Ended June 30, 2002
(unaudited)



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

General
- -------

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. For further information,
refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2002.

Organization
- ------------

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on May 4, 1993 under the laws of the state of
California, and commenced operations on October 20, 1993. 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.

WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates") and Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr. are the general
partners of the Partnership (the "General Partners"). The chairman and president
own substantially all of the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of
the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partners as the
Partnership has no employees of its own.

The Partnership Agreement authorized the sale of up to 10,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). The offering of Units concluded in July 1994 at which time
10,000 Units in the amount of $10,000,000 had been accepted. The General Partner
has 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 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 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.

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 2).

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 15% (including sales
commissions) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are reflected as
a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $1,356,705 at the end
of all periods presented.

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

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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
Partnership had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002.

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

At June 30, 2002, the Partnership maintained a cash balance at a certain
financial institution in excess of the maximum federally insured amounts.

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

Net loss per limited partner 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
- ------------------------------

The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income established standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income
for all periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

New Accounting Pronouncement
- ----------------------------

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001, and generally, is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 144
is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------

As of the periods presented, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one
housing complex, consisting of an aggregate of 812 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.

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 would be recognized as income.

Following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in Local
Limited Partnerships for the periods presented below:

Selected financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
from the unaudited combined condensed financial statements of the limited
partnership in which the Partnership has invested is as follows:

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

Expenses:
Interest expense 205,000 210,000

=================== ===================

Net loss recorded by the Partnership $ (70,000) $ (121,000)
=================== ===================


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 Partners 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 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------

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

(a) Annual Asset Management Fee. An annual asset management fee equal to the
greater amount of (i) $2,000 for each apartment complex, or (ii) 0.275% of
gross proceeds. The base fee amount will be adjusted annually based on
changes to the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the annual
asset management fee exceed 0.2% of the invested assets of the Local
Limited Partnerships, including the Partnership's allocable share of the
mortgages. Asset management fees of $10,500 were incurred for each of the
three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. The Partnership paid $15,000 and
$7,500 of those asset management fees during the three months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

(b) Subordinated Disposition Fee. A subordinated disposition fee in an amount
equal to 1% of the sales price of real estate sold. Payment of this fee is
subordinated to the limited partners receiving a preferred return of 16%
through December 31, 2003 and 6% thereafter (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) and is payable only if the General Partner or its affiliates
render services in the sales effort.

NOTE 4 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- -----------------------------------------

Payables to limited partnerships represent amounts, which are due at various
times based on conditions specified in the limited partnership agreement. These
contributions are payable in installments and are due upon the limited
partnership achieving certain operating and development benchmarks (generally
within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------

The Partnership will not make a provision for income taxes since all items of
taxable income and loss will be allocated to the partners for inclusion in their
respective income tax returns.

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

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-Q 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.

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-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the condensed unaudited Financial Statements and the Notes
thereto included elsewhere in this filing.

The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and should be read in conjunction
with the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included within
this report.

Financial Condition

The Partnership's assets at June 30, 2002 consisted primarily of $263,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships of
$2,156,000. Liabilities at June 30, 2002 consisted primarily of $129,000 in
accrued asset management fees payable to the General Partner.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was
$(92,000), reflecting a decrease of $47,000 from the net loss experienced for
the three months ended June 30, 2001 of $(139,000). The decrease in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships which decreased
by $51,000 to $(70,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $(121,000)
for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The decrease in equity in losses of
Local Limited Partnerships is due to the Partnership not recognizing certain
losses of the Local Limited Partnerships. The investments in such Local Limited
Partnerships had reached $0 at June 30, 2002. Since the Partnership's liability
with respect to its investments is limited, losses in excess of investment are
not recognized. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships
was offset by the reduction of interest income by $2,000 to $1,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 from $3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001
and an increase in accounting expense by $2,000 to $4,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 from $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001.

13





Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued

Cash Flows

Three months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three months Ended June 30, 2001.
Net decrease in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2002 was ($15,000)
compared to a net decrease in cash for the three months ended June 30, 2001 of
($12,000). The $3,000 decrease was due to an increase in investments in limited
partnerships of ($16,000), which was offset by a reduction in distributions from
limited partnerships of $7,000, and a decrease from operating activities of
$12,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2002.

During the three months ended June 30, 2002, accrued payables, which consist
primarily of related party management fees and advances due to the General
Partner, decreased by $1,000. The General Partner does not anticipate that these
accrual fees and advances will be paid until such time as capital reserves are
in excess of foreseeable working capital requirements of the partnership.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at June 30, 2002, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
