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 six months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017. 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, 2016.
 
Organization
 
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 9 (the “Partnership”) is a California Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California on July 17, 2001 and commenced operations on August 3, 2001. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership interests in other limited partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships") which own multi-family housing complexes (“Housing Complexes”) that are eligible for Federal low income housing tax credits (“Low Income Housing Tax Credits”). The local general partners (the “Local General Partners”) of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complex. Each Local Limited Partnership is governed by its agreement of limited partnership (the “Local Limited Partnership Agreement”).
 
The general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. (“Associates” or the “General Partner”). The chairman and the president of Associates own all of the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partner, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.
 
The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2062, 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 of limited partnership interest (“Partnership Units”) at $1,000 per Partnership Unit. The offering of Partnership Units concluded in July 1994, at which time 15,325 Partnership Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $15,316,125, net of dealer discounts of $7,350 and volume discount of $1,525, had been sold. 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 Low Income Housing Tax Credits of the Partnership. The investors (the “Limited Partners”) in the Partnership will be allocated the remaining 99.9% of these items in proportion to their respective investments. As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, a total of 15,302 Partnership Units remain outstanding.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
 
The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Housing Complexes will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement. Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the Partnership. The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex. Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership. Should such distributions occur, the Limited Partners will be entitled to receive distributions from the proceeds remaining after payment of Partnership obligations and funding reserves, equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The General Partner would then be entitled to receive proceeds equal to its capital contributions 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.
 
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 Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax 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 transaction. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute any cash to its Limited Partners. Low Income Housing Tax 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 “Compliance Period”), the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of the Partnership’s investment in the Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or a 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 Tax Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Tax 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
 
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 Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to the limited partners 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.
 
The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund its operations. Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through November 30, 2017.
 
Anticipated future and existing cash resources of the Partnership are not sufficient to pay existing liabilities of the Partnership. However, substantially all of the existing liabilities of the Partnership are payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates are contractually currently payable, the Partnership anticipates that the General Partner and/or its affiliates will not require the payment of these contractual obligations until capital reserves are in excess of the aggregate of then existing contractual obligations and then anticipated future foreseeable obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership would be adversely affected should the General Partner and/or its affiliates demand current payment of the existing contractual obligations and or suspend services for this or any other reason.
 
No trading market for the Partnership Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited Partners may be unable to sell their Partnership Units except at a discount and should consider their Partnership Units to be a long-term investment. Individual Limited Partners will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited Partners.
 
Exit Strategy
 
The Compliance Period for a Housing Complex is generally 15 years following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associates was one of the first in the industry to offer syndicated investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The initial programs have completed their Compliance Periods.
 
Upon the sale of a Local Limited Partnership interest or Housing Complex after the end of the Compliance Period, there would be no recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. A sale prior to the end of the Compliance Period could result in recapture if certain conditions are not met. None of the remaining Housing Complexes have completed their 15-year Compliance Period.
 
With that in mind, the General Partner is continuing its review of the Housing Complexes. The review considers many factors, including extended use requirements (such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the Housing Complexes, and the tax consequences to the Limited Partners from the sale of the Housing Complexes.
 
Upon identifying those Housing Complexes with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or re-syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with efforts to liquidate them. The objective is to maximize the Limited Partners’ return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down the Partnership as Low Income Housing Tax Credits are no longer available. Local Limited Partnership interests may be disposed of any time by the General Partner in its discretion. While liquidation of the Housing Complexes continues to be evaluated, the dissolution of the Partnership was not imminent as of September 30, 2016.
 
As of March 31, 2016, the Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership interests in Mendota I, L.P. (“Mendota”), Villas of Palm, L.P. (“Villas of Palm”), Preservation Partners III Limited Partnership (“Preservation”), and Calico Terrace Limited Partnership (“Calico Terrace”). The Compliance Period for Mendota, Preservation, and Calico Terrace expire in 2016, 2016, and 2017, respectively. The respective purchasers have guaranteed that the LLP will stay in compliance with the Low Income Housing Tax Credit code, therefore there is no risk of recapture to the investors of the Partnership.

The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Housing Complexes will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement. Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the partners of the Local Limited Partnership, including the Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the particular Local Limited Partnership Agreement. The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex. Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership, as the proceeds first would be used to pay Local Limited Partnership obligations and funding of reserves.
 
Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships
 
The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local 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 amount of such investment may not be recoverable. Recoverability of such investment is measured by the estimated value derived by management, generally consisting of the sum of the remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits estimated to be allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership. If an investment is considered to be impaired, the Partnership reduces the carrying value of its investment in any such Local Limited Partnership. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships, generally, are expected to be consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments were capitalized as part of the investment and were being amortized over 30 years.
 
“Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships” for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 has been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three and six-month periods 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 is not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below zero. 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 (see Note 2).
 
In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Partnership determines when it 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. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors. 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 has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
 
Based on this guidance, the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities. The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these Local Limited Partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Partnership's balance in investment in Local Limited Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership's exposure to loss on these Local Limited Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the Local General Partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors in the Partnership.
 
Distributions received by the Partnership are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance. Distributions received after the investment has reached zero are recognized as distribution income. As of all periods presented, all investment balances in Local Limited Partnerships had reached zero.
 
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 original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively, the Partnership had $126,123 and $160,310 in cash equivalents.
 
Reporting Comprehensive Income
 
The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income for all periods presented.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure. Income tax returns filed by the Partnership are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years. While no income tax returns are currently being examined by the Internal Revenue Service, tax years since 2013 remain open.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
 
Net Income (Loss) Per Partnership Unit
 
Net income (loss) per Partnership Unit includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) available to Limited Partners by the weighted average number of Partnership Units outstanding during the period. Calculation of diluted net income (loss) per Partnership Unit is not required.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Partnership is entitled to receive reporting fees from the Local Limited Partnerships. The intent of the reporting fees is to offset (in part) administrative costs incurred by the Partnership in corresponding with the Local Limited Partnerships. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of these fees, the Partnership recognizes reporting fees as collections are made.
 
Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for investments in qualified affordable housing projects. The amendments provide guidance on accounting for investments by a reporting entity in flow-through limited liability entities that manage or invest in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The amendments permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received, and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of this update did not materially affect the Partnership's financial statements.
 
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”. This will improve certain areas of consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether to consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations and securitization structures. ASU  2015-02 simplifies and improves GAAP by: eliminating the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, eliminating the indefinite deferral of FASB Statement No. 167, thereby reducing the number of Variable Interest Entity (VIE) consolidation models from four to two (including the limited partnership consolidation model) and clarifying when fees paid to a decision maker should be a factor to include in the consolidation of VIEs. ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this update did not materially affect the Partnership's financial statements.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
 
As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Partnership had owned limited partnership interests in 9 Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing Complex, consisting of an aggregate of 349 apartment units. The respective Local General Partners of the Local Limited Partnerships manage the day to day operations of the entities. Significant Local Limited Partnership business decisions, as defined, require approval from the Partnership. The Partnership, as a Limited Partner, is generally entitled to 99.9%, 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.
 
Selected financial information for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 from the unaudited combined condensed financial statements of the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested is as follows:

Certain Local Limited Partnerships incurred operating losses and/or 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 Low Income Housing Tax Credits could occur.

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has paid or is obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for the following fees:
 
(a)
An annual asset management fee not to exceed 0.5% of the invested assets of the Partnership, as defined. “Invested Assets” means the sum of the Partnership’s investment in Local Limited Partnership interests and the Partnership’s allocable share of mortgage loans on and other debts related to the Housing Complexes owned by such Local Limited Partnerships. Asset management fees of $51,500 and $56,612 were incurred during the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which $0 and $21,970 were paid during the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

A subordinated disposition fee in an amount equal to 1% of the sale price of real estate sold by the Local Limited Partnerships. Payment of this fee is subordinated to the Limited Partners receiving distributions equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and is payable only if services are rendered in the sales effort. No such fee was incurred for all periods presented.
 
(c)

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, this “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, the Partnership’s 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 the Partnership or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 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, 2016 consisted of $126,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $8,000 in other assets. Liabilities at September 30, 2016 consisted of $1,728,000 of accrued fees and expenses due to General Partner and affiliates and $40,000 of payables to Local Limited Partnerships.
 
Results of Operations
 
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $25,000, reflecting a decrease of approximately $15,000 from the net loss of $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Reporting fees increased by $4,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015. Local Limited Partnerships pay reporting fees to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment. There was no gain (loss) on sale of Local Limited Partnerships during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $3,000 loss on sale of Local Limited Partnerships during the three months ended September 30, 2015. The losses or gains recorded vary from period to period depending on sale prices and values of Local Limited Partnerships sold. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, legal and accounting fees decreased by $4,000 due to timing of the work performed. Other expenses decreased by $2,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, mainly due to the reduction in outsourcing of data input and site inspection of the Local Limited Partnership.
 
Six Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2015 The Partnership's net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2016 was $55,000, reflecting a decrease of approximately $174,000 from the net income of $119,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly due to $189,000 in gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships during the six months ended September 30, 2015 compared to no gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships during the six months ended September 30, 2016. The gains recorded vary from period to period depending on sale prices and values of Local Limited Partnerships sold. Reporting fees increased by $2,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2015. Local Limited Partnerships pay reporting fees to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment. For the six months ended September 30, 2016, asset management fees decreased by $5,000 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2015. These fees are calculated based on the Invested Assets. As Local Limited Partnerships are sold, the Invested Assets decreased, thereby decreasing the asset management fees that are incurred. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, legal and accounting fees decreased by $4,000 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2015 due to timing of the work performed. Other expenses decreased by $4,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016, mainly due to the reduction in outsourcing of data input and site inspection of the Local Limited Partnership.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Capital Resources and Liquidity
 
Six Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2015 Net cash and cash equivalents used during the six months ended September 30, 2016 was $34,000, compared to net cash and cash equivalents provided during the six months ended September 30, 2015 of $129,000. The Partnership received $189,000 of disposition proceeds from the sale of four Local Limited Partnerships during the six months ended September 30, 2015 compared to no disposition proceeds received during the six months ended September 30, 2016. Proceeds received from disposition vary from period to period, as discussed above. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Partnership paid $60,000 to the General partner or an affiliate for reimbursement of operating expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership compared to $80,000 paid during the six months ended September 30, 2015. The Partnership made no payments to the general partner for accrued asset management fees during the six months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $22,000 paid during the six months ended September 30, 2015. The reimbursement of operating expenses and asset management fees are paid after management reviews the cash position of the Partnership. The Partnership also received $2,000 more in reporting fees during the six months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2015. Reporting fees are paid to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment.
 
During the six months ended September 30, 2016, accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party asset management fees and advances due to the General Partner and affiliates, increased by $28,000 as compared to March 31, 2016. The General Partner does not anticipate that these 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 expects its future cash flows, together with its net available assets as of September 30, 2016, to be insufficient to meet all currently foreseeable future cash requirements. Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through November 30, 2017.

NOT APPLICABLE
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
(a)            
Disclosure controls and procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s General Partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Associates, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, consistent with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
 
The Partnership must rely on the Local Limited Partnerships to provide the Partnership with certain information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. Factors in the accounting at the Local Limited Partnerships have caused delays in the provision of such information during past reporting periods, and resulted in the Partnership’s inability to file its periodic reports in a timely manner.
 
Once the Partnership has received the necessary information from the Local Limited Partnerships, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Associates believe that the material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported, albeit not in a timely manner. Going forward, the Partnership will use the means reasonably within its power to impose procedures designed to obtain from the Local Limited Partnerships the information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports.
 
(b)            
Changes in internal controls
 
There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
