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, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's amended annual report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2003.
Organization
- ------------
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 7, (a California Limited
Partnership) (the "Partnership") was formed on June 16, 1997 under the laws of
the state of California. The Partnership began operations on September 3, 1999,
the effective date of its public offering pursuant to Security and Exchange
approval of the Partnership's Pre-Effective Amendment No. 3 to Form S-11 filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 1999. 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 Complexes") that are eligible for low-income housing tax credits. The
local general partners (the "Local General Partners") of each Local Limited
Partnership will 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. The chairman and president own substantially all
of the outstanding stock of WNC. The business of the Partnership is conducted
primarily through WNC, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.
The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2060,
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"). As of June 30, 2003, 18,850 Units representing subscriptions
in the amount of $18,828,745 had been sold, net of volume discounts of $45 and
$21,210 of dealer discounts. The General Partner has a 0.1% interest in
operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, cash available for
distribution from the Partnership and tax credits of the Partnership. The
limited partners will be allocated the remaining 99.9% of these items in
proportion to their respective investments.
After the limited partners have received proceeds from a sale or refinancing
equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) and the General Partner has received proceeds
equal to its capital contribution and a subordinated disposition fee (as
described in Note 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
- -------------------------------
An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local
Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the
amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any,
on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the
following:
The Low-Income Housing Credit rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance
with these rules results in the loss of future Low-Income Housing Credit s and
the fractional recapture of Low-Income Housing Credits already taken. In most
cases the annual amount of Low-Income Housing Credits that an individual can use
is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last $25,000 of taxable
income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing
Complexes at a price which would result in the Partnership realizing cash
distributions or proceeds from the tranaction. Accordingly, the Partnership may
be unable to distribute any cash to its investors. Low-Income Housing Credits
may be the only benefit from an investment in the Partnership.
The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships.
Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single
Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited
diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to
pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If
foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining
future Low-Income Housing Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low-Income
Housing Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing
Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or non-managing member
of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very
limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the
Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited
Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes, are 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 interests
in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners;
limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations.
Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low-Income Housing
Credits and recapture of Low-Income Housing Credits previously taken. The value
of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions,
including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning
policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions,
among others.
The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is
limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and
challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low-Income Housing
Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS
were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce
tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could
also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the
value of the Housing Complexes.
No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Investors may
be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should consider their
Units to be a long-term investment. Individual investors will have no recourse
if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited
Partners.
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 Partnerships' results of operations
and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership
reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a Local Limited
Partnership for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2003

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
amount of such investment may not be recoverable. Recoverability of such
investment is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to future
undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If an investment is
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds fair value. 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 Notes 3 and 4).
Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships for the periods ended September
30, 2003 and 2002 have been recorded by the Partnership based on six months of
results estimated by management of the Partnership. Management's estimate for
the six-month period is based on either actual unaudited results reported by the
Local Limited Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the Local
Limited Partnerships. Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships allocated
to the Partnership will not be recognized to the extent that the investment
balance would be adjusted below zero. As soon as the investment balance reaches
zero, the related costs of acquiring the investment are accelerated to the
extent of losses available (see Note 3). 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.
Offering Expenses
- -----------------
Offering expenses are expected to consist of underwriting commissions, legal
fees, printing, filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in
connection with the selling of limited partnership interests in the Partnership.
The General Partner is obligated to pay all offering and organization costs
inclusive of selling commissions and dealer manager fees, in excess of 4% of the
total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are reflected as a reduction of
limited partners' capital and amounted to $2,429,245 as of September 30, 2003
and March 31, 2003.
Exit Strategy
- -------------
The IRS compliance period for low-income housing tax credit properties is
generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation
completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance
period.
With that in mind, we are continuing our review of the Partnership's holdings,
with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those that have
satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. Our review will consider many factors
including extended use requirements on the property (such as those due to
mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the
property, and the tax consequences to the investors from the sale of the
property.
Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, we expect to proceed with efforts to liquidate
those properties. Our objective is to maximize the investors' return wherever
possible and, ultimately, to wind down those funds that no longer provide tax
benefits to investors. To date no properties in the Partnership have been
selected.
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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------
Income Taxes
- ------------
No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements as
any liability and/or benefits for income taxes flows to the partners of the
Partnership and is their obligation and/or benefit. For income tax purposes the
Partnership reports on a calendar year basis.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September
30, 2003 and March 31, 2003 the Partnership had cash equivalents of $1,490,000
and $2,247,000, respectively. These amounts consist primarily of tax exempt
instruments collateralized by tax exempt municipal bonds from various
municipalities throughout the United States. These instruments generate tax
exempt yields and generally have 35 days or less maturities.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
At September 30, 2003, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.
Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit
- -----------------------------------
Net income per limited partnership unit is calculated pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net income per unit
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income 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 the periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN46"), "Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on when a company
should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest
entity ("VIE") in its financial statements and when it should disclose
information about its relationship with a VIE. A VIE is a legal structure used
to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if
it is the primary beneficiary because it absorbs the majority of the entity's
expected losses, the majority of the expected returns, or both.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of FIN 46 ("FIN 46R") to clarify
some of its provisions. The revision results in multiple effective dates based
on the nature as well as the creation date of the VIE. VIEs created after
January 31, 2003, but prior to January 1, 2004, may be accounted for either
based on the original interpretations or the revised interpretations. However,
all VIEs must be accounted for under the revised interpretations as of March 31,
2004, when FIN 46R is effective for the Partnership.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
For the Quarter Ended September 30, 2003
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
This Interpretation would require consolidation by the Partnership of certain
Local Limited Partnerships' assets and liabilities and results of operations if
the Partnership determined that the Local Limited Partnership was a VIE and that
the Partnership was the "Primary Beneficiary." Minority interests may be
recorded for the Local Limited Partnerships' ownership share attributable to
other Limited Partners. Where consolidation of Local Limited Partnerships is not
required, additional financial information disclosures of Local Limited
Partnerships may be required. The Partnership has assessed the potential
consolidation effects of the Interpretation and preliminarily concluded that the
adoption of the Interpretation will not have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Partnerships.
NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
- -------------------------
Loans receivable represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain Local
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership may invest or has already
invested. 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. At September 30, 2003, loans receivable and accrued interest thereon of
$85,982 were due from two Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership
owns a 99.98% interest (See Note 7). One of the loans in the amount of $78,000,
is in the form of a 20 year promissory note, is subordinate to the first
mortgage on the respective property, due in full on August 30, 2022 and earns
interest at a rate of 8% per annum.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------
As of the period presented, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in thirteen Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing
Complex consisting of an aggregate of 452 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 99.98%, 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 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 from the Local 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, 2003, no investment
accounts in Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance.

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/or the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.

NOTE 5 - 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 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- --------------------------------------
One Local Limited Partnership, ACN Southern Hills II, L.P. ("Southern Hills"),
in which the Partnership owns a 99.98% interest, had a construction loan payable
aggregating approximately $1,100,000 as of December 31, 2001. Such construction
loan was due in March 2002 and was not repaid at that time. In September 2002
the loan was successfully refinanced with a first mortgage of $463,000 and a 20
year loan of $80,000 from the Partnership to Southern Hills. The balance of the
construction loan was paid off by the Local Limited Partnership. The
Partnership's loan is subordinate to the first mortgage and requires payments to
be made monthly and at the end of the year from available cash flow. The
Partnership expects this loan to be collectible in full. Southern Hills has been
making all payments on a timely manner and as of September 30, 2004 is current
on the loan owing to the Partnership.
During the year ended March 31, 2002, WNC, the General Partner of the
Partnership, was advised that Lake Village Apartments, a Local Limited
Partnership, was in default of covenants relating to certain loans advanced to
it for the construction of apartments. The defaults were primarily caused by the
general contractor failing to complete the construction of the development
according to the terms of the loans. As a result of the foregoing, at June 30,
2002, Lake Village Apartments and the Shelter Resource Corporation ("SRC")
executed a workout agreement with their lender (the "Agreement"), whereby the
Local General Partner of Lake Village Apartments was replaced by the
aforementioned SRC. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the new Local
General Partner would cause additional equity to be contributed to the Local
Limited Partnership, a new general contractor would complete the construction of
the development, and the lender, upon satisfaction of certain conditions of the
Agreement, as defined, would continue to fund the completion of the
construction, among other costs. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, the
Partnership Agreement was amended, and the Partnership committed to additional
capital contributions of $855,628 as a result of obtaining additional tax
credits, and $387,877 was disbursed to an escrow account and further disbursed
to Lake Village Apartments. A net amount of $522,997 had been advanced to Lake
Village by March 31, 2003. An amount of $467,751 from this advance was applied
to capital contributions along with $49,587 that was applied towards the
interest payable owing to Lake Village resulting from an escrow account as of
March 31, 2003, resulting in a balance of $5,660. The Partnership entered into a
loan receivable agreement in the amount of this balance, which is included in
loans receivable. Construction of the development is completed and is 100% tax
credit qualified. The property will be switching management companies in January
2005 to improve the quality of tenant communications, stablize occupancy and
reduce operating expenses. The current occupancy rate is 90% as of September 30,
2004.

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
three and six months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and should be read in
conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes included within this report.
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at September 30, 2003 consisted primarily of $1,490,000
in cash and cash equivalents, aggregate investments in the thirteen Local
Limited Partnerships of $13,184,000 and $85,000 in loans receivable. Liabilities
at September 30, 2003 primarily consisted of $330,000 due to limited
partnerships, $54,000 of accrued asset management fees, commissions payable, and
reimbursements due to the General Partner or affiliates and $21,000 in interest
and insurance proceeds payable to affiliates.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 2002. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended September 30,
2003 was $(252,000), reflecting an increase in loss of $(122,000) from the
$(130,000) net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase
in net loss was primarily due to an increase of approximately $(103,000) in
equity in losses of limited partnerships, which increased to $(222,000) for the
three months ended September 30, 2003 from $(119,000) for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, due to the completion of construction and lease-up of
additional properties. In addition to the increase in equity in losses from
limited partnerships, loss from operations increased by $(19,000) to a loss of
$(29,000), for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from a loss of
$(10,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in loss
from operations was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $(22,000)
due to lower interest rates and balance of cash on hand, offset by an increase
of reporting fee of $12,000, an increase in asset management fees of $(6,000),
along with an increase in legal and accounting fees of $(7,000) offset by a
decrease in other operating expenses of approximately $4,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2003.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30,
2002. The Partnership's net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2003 was
$(502,000), reflecting an increase in loss of $(254,000) from the $(248,000) net
loss for the six months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in net loss was
primarily due to an increase of approximately $(233,000) in equity in losses of
limited partnerships, which increased to
15
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
$(445,000) for the six months ended September 30, 2003 from $(212,000) for the
six months ended September 30, 2002, due to the completion of construction and
lease-up of additional properties. In addition to the increase in equity in
losses from limited partnerships, loss from operations increased by $(21,000) to
a loss of $(57,000), for the six months ended September 30, 2003 from a loss of
$(36,000) for the six months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in loss from
operations was primarily due to a decrease in interest income of $(28,000) due
to lower interest rates and balance of cash on hand, which was offset by an
increase in reporting fee of $12,000, an increase in asset management fees of
$(11,000), which was offset by a decrease in other operating expenses of $6,000
for the six months ended September 30, 2003.
Cash Flows
Six Months Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30,
2002. Net cash used during the six months ended September 30, 2003 was
$(757,000), compared to the net cash used in the six months ended September 30,
2002 of $(138,000) reflecting an increase of $(619,000) net cash used. The
increase is primarily due to a $(410,000) increase in cash used in operating
activities, which is due to a $(184,000) decrease in accrued interest payable, a
$(205,000) decrease in accrued fees and expense due to General Partner and
affiliates along with a $ (21,000) increase in loss from operations largely due
to the $(16,000) decrease in operating income. In addition to the increase in
net cash used in operating activities, there is also an increase of $(209,000)
in cash used in investing activities. The increase in cash used in investing
activities is due to a $590,000 decrease in cash used for investments in limited
partnerships, a $(592,000) decrease in funds held in escrow disbursement
account, a $(202,000) decrease in loans receivable, along with a $(5,000)
decrease in distributions received from limited partnerships.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at September 30, 2003, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
Other Matters
During the year ended March 31, 2002, WNC, the General Partner of the
Partnership was advised that Lake Village Apartments, a local limited
partnership, was in default of covenants relating to certain loans advanced to
it for the construction of apartments. The defaults were primarily caused by the
general contractor failing to complete the construction of the development
according to the terms of the loans. As a result of the foregoing, at June 30,
2002, Lake Village Apartments and a WNC affiliate executed a workout agreement
with their lender (the "Agreement"), whereby the General Partner of Lake Village
Apartments was replaced by the aforementioned WNC affiliate. Pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement, the new general partner would cause additional equity to
be contributed to the local limited partnership, a new general contractor would
complete the construction of the development, and the lender, upon satisfaction
of certain conditions of the Agreement as defined, would continue to fund the
completion of the construction, among other costs. In addition, pursuant to the
Agreement, the Partnership Agreement was amended, and the partnership committed
to additional capital contributions of $855,628 as a result of obtaining
additional tax credits, and $387,877 was disbursed to an escrow account and
further disbursed to Lake Village Apartments. A net amount of $522,997 had been
advanced to Lake Village by March 31, 2003. An amount of $467,751 from this
advance was applied to capital contributions along with $49,587 that was applied
towards the interest payable owing to Lake Village resulting from an escrow
account as of March 31, 2003, resulting in a balance of $5,660. The Partnership
entered into a loan receivable agreement in the amount of this balance, which is
included in loans receivable. Construction of the development is completed and
is 100% tax credit qualified. The property will be switching management
companies in January 2005 to improve the quality of tenant communications,
stablize occupancy and reduce operating expenses. The current occupancy rate is
90% as of September 30, 2004.
One Local Limited Partnership, ACN Southern Hills II, L.P. ("Southern Hills"),
in which the Partnership owns a 99.98% interest, had a construction loan payable
aggregating approximately $1,100,000 as of December 31, 2001. Such construction
loan was due in March 2002 and was not repaid at that time. In September 2002
the loan was successfully refinanced with a first mortgage of $463,000 and a
20-year loan of $80,000 from the Partnership to Southern Hills. The Partnerships
loan is subordinate to the first mortgage and requires payments to be made
monthly and at the end of the year from available cash flow. The Partnership
expects this loan to be collectible in full. Southern Hills has been making all
payments on a timely manner and as of September 30, 2004 is current on the loan
owing to the Partnership.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at September 30, 2003, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
