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 and six
months ended September 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 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 of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates").
The chairman and president own substantially all 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.

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 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 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
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 2).

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
$3,357,441 as of September 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002.

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. As of
September 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002, the Partnership had $0 cash equivalents.

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

At September 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002, the Partnership maintained cash
balances at certain financial institutions in excess of the federally insured
maximum.

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

Net loss per weighted 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 loss 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 Pronouncements
- -----------------------------

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.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. SFAS 146 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.

Reclassification
- ----------------

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation for the six months ended September 30, 2002.

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

As of September 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002, the Partnership had acquired
limited partnership interests in 15 Local Limited Partnerships, each of which
owns one Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate of 624 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.

As of December 4, 2002, the Partnership had not obtained audited financial
statements for one of its investments, Mansur Wood Living Center, L.P. ("Mansur
Wood"), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001. As a result, the
Partnership has not included the financial information of Mansur Wood in the
combined condensed statement of operations presented herein. The Partnership's
investment in Mansur Wood totaled $5,229,000 (unaudited) at September 30, 2002.
The Partnership's estimate of its interest in the results of operations of
Mansur Wood totaled $(250,000) (unaudited) for the period ended September 30,
2002. The combined condensed statement of operations presented herein for
September 30, 2001 previously included a net loss of $222,000 for Mansur Wood.
The combined condensed financial information presented in this footnote for 2001
has been restated to exclude the accounts of Mansur Wood.

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 September 30, 2002, 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 as of:

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

The Partnership has no officers, employees, or directors. However, under the
terms of the Partnership Agreement the Partnership is obligated to the General
Partner or its affiliates for the following fees:

(a) An annual asset management fee not to exceed 0.2% of the invested assets
(defined as the Partnership's capital contributions plus reserves of the
Partnership of up to 5% of gross proceeds plus its allocable percentage of
the mortgage debt encumbering the housing complexes) of the Local Limited
Partnerships. Management fees of $35,034 were incurred for each of the six
months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, of which $0 and $16,795 was paid
during the six months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

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

(b) 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 12% through December 31, 2008 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.


Accrued fees and expenses due to the General Partner and affiliates consisted of
the following:

Total $ 257,846 $ 169,478
======================= ==================



The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund operations.
WNC & Associates, Inc. has agreed to provide advances sufficient enough to fund
the operations and working capital requirements of the partnership through at
least November 30, 2003.

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

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

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

No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements, as
any liability for income taxes is the obligation of the partners of the
Partnership.

NOTE 6 - WRITE OFF OF ADVANCES TO A LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
- -------------------------------------------------------------

During the six months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership advanced $34,000
to a local limited partnership in which it has an interest. During the six
months ended September 30, 2002, the Partnership wrote off $25,000 of the above
advance and received $9,000 as settlement of a lawsuit against the former local
general partner of this local limited partnership. The payments ceased after
three months, the settlement is in default and further legal action is being
pursued.

The Partnership has a 99% limited partnership investment in Mansur Wood Living
Center, L.P. ("Mansur Wood"). The Partnership has identified a potential problem
with the Mansur Wood in regards to unpaid bills, mortgage, and taxes which might
require an infusion of cash. The Partnership does not have the reserves to fund
the infusion and therefore it will be funded by Associates.

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

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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.

The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
fiscal quarters ended September 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 September 30, 2002 consisted primarily of $21,000 in
cash, $207,000 in restricted cash, aggregate investments in the fifteen Local
Limited Partnerships of $15,446,000 and $11,000 in other assets. Liabilities at
September 30, 2002 primarily consisted of $229,000 due to Local Limited
Partnerships, $112,000 in annual asset management fees, and $148,000 in advances
and other payables due to the General Partner or affiliates.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 2001. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was $(420,000), reflecting a decrease of $(79,000) from the $(499,000) net
loss for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The change was primarily due
to a decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships of $(54,000)
from $(409,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $(355,000) for
the three months ended September 30, 2002. Along with the decrease in equity in
losses of Local Limited Partnerships, loss from operations decreased by
$(25,000) from $(90,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to
$(65,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2002 due to a decrease in
legal and accounting fees and other operating expenses.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30,
2001. The Partnership's net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2002 was
$(822,000), reflecting a decrease of $(133,000) from the $(955,000) net loss for
the six months ended September 30, 2001. The change was primarily due to a
decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships of $(109,000) from
$(819,000) for the six months ended September 30, 2001 to $(710,000) for the six
months ended September 30, 2002. Along with the decrease in equity in losses of
Local Limited Partnerships, loss from operations decreased by $(24,000) from
$(136,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $(112,000) for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 due to a decrease in legal and accounting
fees and other operating expenses.

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

Cash Flows

Six Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30,
2001. Net increase in cash during the six months ended September 30, 2002 was
$22,000 compared to net cash decrease for the six months ended September 30,
2001 of $(90,000) reflecting an increase of $112,000. The increase in net cash
is due primarily to $86,000 increase in net cash provided by investing
activities, to $11,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2002 from
$(75,000) of cash used by investing activities to fund investments in local
limited partnerships for the six months ended September 30, 2001. In addition,
there was an increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $26,000
from $(15,000) of cash used in operations for the six months ended September 30,
2001 to $11,000 of cash provided by operations for the six months ended
September 30, 2002.

During the six months ended September 30, 2002 accrued fees and expenses
increased by $91,000 and consist primarily of related party management fees and
advances due to the General Partner. The General Partner does not anticipate
that the accrued 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 does not expect its future cash flows, together with its net
available assets at September 30, 2002, to be sufficient to meet all currently
foreseeable future cash requirements. Accordingly, WNC & Associates, Inc. has
agreed to provide advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working
capital requirements of the partnership through at least November 30, 2003.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

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.

In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting and
reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain
Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including
Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized
and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred. SFAS No.
146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. SFAS 146 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of
operations.
