PART I.
Item 1. Business
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1 (the "Partnership") is a
California Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California
on May 4, 1993. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership
interests in limited partnerships or limited liability companies ("Local Limited
Partnerships") which own multifamily housing complexes that are eligible for
low-income housing federal and, in certain cases, California income tax credits
("Low Income Housing Credits").
The general partner of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credit Partners IV, L.P. ("TCP
IV"). The general partner of TCP IV is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates").
Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 66.8% of the
outstanding stock of Associates. John B. Lester, Jr. was the original limited
partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester Family Trust, 28.6% of
the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of the Partnership is
conducted primarily through Associates as neither TCP IV nor the Partnership
have employees of their own.
Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, on October 20, 1993, the Partnership commenced a public offering of
10,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units"), at a price of $1,000 per
Unit. The Partnership's offering terminated on July 19, 1994. A total of 10,000
Limited Partnership Interests representing $10,000,000 had been sold. Holders of
Limited Partnership Interests are referred to herein as "Limited Partners."
Description of Business
The Partnership's principal business objective is to provide its Limited
Partners with Low Income Housing Credits. The Partnership's principal business
therefore consists of investing as a limited partner or non-managing member in
Local Limited Partnerships each of which will own and operate a multi-family
housing complex (the "Housing Complex") which will qualify for the Low Income
Housing Credit. In general, under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
to reduce Federal taxes otherwise due in each year of a ten-year period. In
general, under Section 17058 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
against California taxes otherwise due in each year of a four-year period. The
Housing Complex is subject to a fifteen-year compliance period (the "Compliance
Period"), and under state law may have to be maintained as low income housing
for 30 or more years.
In general, in order to avoid recapture of Low Income Housing Credits, the
Partnership does not expect that it will dispose of its interests in Local
Limited Partnerships ("Local Limited Partnership Interests") or approve the sale
by any Local Limited Partnership of its Housing Complex prior to the end of the
applicable Compliance Period. Because of (i) the nature of the Housing
Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income
housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the ability of government
lenders to disapprove of transfer, it is not possible at this time to predict
whether the liquidation of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the
proceeds, if any, in accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited
Partnership, as amended by Supplements thereto (the "Partnership Agreement"),
will be able to be accomplished promptly at the end of the 15-year period. If a
Local Limited Partnership is unable to sell its Housing Complex, it is
anticipated that the local general partner ("Local General Partner") will either
continue to operate such Housing Complex or take such other actions as the Local
General Partner believes to be in the best interest of the Local Limited
Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding, circumstances beyond the control of
the General Partner or the Local General Partners may occur during the
Compliance Period, which would require the Partnership to approve the
disposition of a Housing Complex prior to the end thereof, possibly resulting in
recapture of Low Income Housing Credits.
3
As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership had invested in twenty-one Local Limited
Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships owns a Housing Complex
that is eligible for the federal Low Income Housing Credit. Certain Local
Limited Partnerships may also benefit from government programs promoting low- or
moderate-income housing.
The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income housing and to the
management and ownership of multi-unit residential real estate. Some of these
risks are that the Low Income Housing Credit could be recaptured and that
neither the Partnership's investments nor the Housing Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests; limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are subject to mortgage
indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership does not 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 or non-managing member of
the Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights
with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships, and will rely
totally on the general partners or managing members of the Local Limited
Partnerships for management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The value of the
Partnership's investments will be subject to changes in national and local
economic conditions, including unemployment conditions, which could adversely
impact vacancy levels, rental payment defaults and operating expenses. This, in
turn, could substantially increase the risk of operating losses for the Housing
Complexes and the Partnership. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters, which
might be uninsurable. Because the Partnership's operations will depend on these
and other factors beyond the control of the General Partner and the Local
General Partners, there can be no assurance that the anticipated Low Income
Housing Credits will be available to Limited Partners.
In addition, Limited Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the Low Income Housing Credit are complicated, and the use of credits can be
limited. The only material benefit from an investment in Units may be the Low
Income Housing Credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop. All Partnership management
decisions are made by the General Partner.
As a limited partner or non-managing member, the Partnership's liability for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment. The
Local General Partners of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility
for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Housing
Complexes.
Item 2. Properties
Through its investments in Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership holds
limited partnership interests in the Housing Complexes. The following table

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of $341,350 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships of
$4,298,485. Liabilities at March 31, 1999 were $106,241, of which $77,977 was
accrued annual management fees, $2,963 was for expenses paid by an affiliate of
the General Partner due to the General Partner or affiliate and $25,301 was
payables to limited partnerships.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$(220,000), reflecting an increase of $17,000 from the net loss experienced for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in net loss is due to loss
from operations which increased by $17,000 to $(34,000) for the three month
period ended March 31, 1999 from $(17,000) for the three month period ended
March 31, 1998 due to an increase in other operating expenses of $15,000 and a
decrease in interest income of $2,000.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. The
Partnership's net loss for 1998 was $(855,000), reflecting an increase of
$28,000 from the net loss experienced in 1997. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to operating expenses which increased to $(83,000) in 1998 from
$(17,000) in 1997, partially offset by a decrease in equity in losses from
limited partnerships of $36,000, because the investments in certain Local
Limited Partnerships reached $0 during 1998.
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996. The
Partnership's net loss for 1997 was $(827,000), reflecting a decrease of
$227,000 from the net loss experienced in 1996. The decrease in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses from limited partnerships which decreased to
$(764,000) in 1997 from $(1,024,000) in 1996 was partially offset by a decrease
in interest income of $26,000 and an increase in operating expenses of $6,000 in
1998.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
Net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $(48,000)
compared to a net increase in cash for the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$100. The change was due to an increase in cash paid to the General Partner of
affiliates of $32,000 and an increase in cash paid to third parties for
operating expenses of $15,000.
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. Net cash
used in 1998 was $(389,000), compared to net cash used in 1997 of $(219,000).
The change was due primarily to an increase in cash used for investments in
limited partnerships of $163,000, an increase in operating costs paid to third
parties of $65,000, a decrease in distributions from Local Limited Partnerships
of $2,000, partially offset by a decrease in cash paid to the General Partner
and affiliates of $60,000.
10
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996. Net cash
used in 1997 was $(219,000), compared to $(414,000) in 1996. The change was due
primarily to a decrease in cash used for investments in limited partnerships of
$270,000, partially offset by an increase in cash paid to the General Partner
and affiliates of $36,000, a decrease in interest income of $26,000, a decrease
in interest receivable collected of $5,000, an increase in operating costs paid
to third parties of $6,000, and a decrease in distributions from Local Limited
Partnerships of $2,000.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at March 31, 1999, to be sufficient to meet all currently forseeable
future cash requirements.
Impact of Year 2000
WNC & Associates, Inc.
Status of Readiness
Information Technology (IT) Systems. The Partnership relies on the IT systems of
WNC, its ultimate general partner. IT systems include computer hardware and
software used to produce financial reports and tax return information. This
information is then used to generate reports to investors and regulatory
agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The IT systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.
Non-IT Systems. The Partnership also relies on the non-IT systems of WNC. Non-IT
systems include machinery and equipment such as telephones, voice mail and
electronic postage equipment. Except for one telephone system, the non-IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant. The one telephone system will require
the replacement of one computer and one software application, both of which will
be completed on or before October 1, 1999.
Service Providers. WNC also relies on the IT and non-IT systems of service
providers. Service providers include utility companies, financial institutions,
telecommunications carriers, municipalities, and other outside vendors. WNC has
obtained verbal assurances from its material service providers (electrical power
provider, financial institutions and telecommunications carriers) that their IT
and non-IT systems are year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance that this
compliance information is correct. There also can be no assurance that the
systems of other, less-important service providers and outside vendors will be
year 2000 compliant.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues
The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $20,000. The
cost to replace the telephone system noted above will be less than $5,000. The
cost to deal with potential year 2000 issues of other outside vendors cannot be
estimated at this time.
Risk of Year 2000 Issues
The most reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance of systems
of the service providers noted above will be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption would, in turn, lead to delays in performing
reporting and fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst
case scenario would be the replacement of a service provider. These delays would
likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on the
Partnership or WNC.
11
Local Limited Partnerships
Status of Readiness
WNC is in the process of obtaining year 2000 certifications from each Local
General Partner of each Local Limited Partnership. Those certifications will
represent to the Partnership that the IT and non-IT systems critical to the
operation of the Housing Complexes and investor reporting to the Partnership are
year 2000 compliant. These certifications will also represent to the Partnership
that the IT and non-IT systems of property management companies, independent
accountants, electrical power providers, financial institutions and
telecommunications carriers used by the Local Limited Partnership are year 2000
compliant.
There can be no assurance that the representations in the certifications will be
correct. There also can be no assurance that the systems of other,
less-important service providers and outside vendors, upon which the Local
Limited Partnerships rely, will be year 2000 compliant.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues
There will be no cost to the Partnership as a result of assessing year 2000
issues for the Local Limited Partnerships. The cost to deal with potential year
2000 issues of the Local Limited Partnerships cannot be estimated at this time.
Risk of Year 2000 Issues
There may be Local General Partners who indicate that they or their property
management company are not year 2000 compliant and do not have plans to become
year 2000 compliant before the end of 1999. There may be other Local General
Partners who are unwilling to respond to the certification request. The most
likely result of either non-compliance or failure to respond will be the removal
and replacement of the property management company and/or the Local General
Partner with year 2000 compliant operators.
Despite the efforts to obtain certifications, there can be no assurance that the
Partnership will be unaffected by year 2000 issues. The most reasonable and
likely result from non-year 2000 compliance will be the disruption of normal
business operations for the Local Limited Partnerships, including but not
limited to the possible failure to properly collect rents and meet their
obligations in a timely manner. This disruption would, in turn, lead to delays
by the Local Limited Partnerships in performing reporting and fiduciary
responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst-case scenario would
include the initiation of foreclosure proceedings on the property by mortgage
debt holders. Under these circumstances, WNC or its affiliates will take actions
necessary to minimize the risk of foreclosure, including the removal and
replacement of a Local General Partner by the Partnership. These delays would
likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on the
Partnership or WNC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
IV, L.P., Series 1 (a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations,
partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. A significant
portion of the financial statements of the limited partnerships in which the
Partnership is a limited partner were audited by other auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements,
the Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method. The portion of the Partnership's investment in limited
partnerships audited by other auditors represented 62% and 61% of the total
assets of the Partnership at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial
statements for the limited partnerships which were audited by others, is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1 (a
California Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
IV, L.P., Series 1 ( a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of

(deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the financial
statements of the limited partnerships in which WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV,
L.P., Series 1 is a limited partner. These investments, as discussed in Note 3
to the financial statements, are accounted for by the equity method. The
financial statements of substantially all of the limited partnerships,
representing 87% of the total assets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P.,
Series 1 at December 31, 1997, were audited by other auditors whose reports have
been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts
included for these limited partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the
other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (Unaudited) and
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on May 4, 1993 under the laws of the state of
California, and commenced operations on October 20, 1993. The Partnership was
formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships (the "Local Limited
Partnerships") which own and operate multi-family housing complexes (the
"Housing Complex") that are eligible for low income housing credits. The local
general partners (the "Local General Partners") of each Local Limited
Partnership retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the
Housing Complex.
The general partner is WNC Tax Credit Partners, IV, L.P. (the "General
Partner"), a California limited partnership. WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") is
the general partner of the General Partner. Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the
Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of WNC. John B.
Lester, Jr. was the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns,
through the Lester Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of WNC.
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 10,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). The offering of Units concluded in July 1994 at which time
10,000 Units in the amount of $10,000,000 had been accepted. The General Partner
has a 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses,
cash available for distribution from the Partnership and tax credits. The
limited partners will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in
proportion to their respective investments.
After the limited partners have received proceeds from sale or refinancing equal
to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) and the General Partner has received proceeds equal to
its capital contribution and subordinated disposition fee (as described in Note
3) from the remainder, any additional sale or refinancing proceeds will be
distributed 90% to the limited partners (in proportion to their respective
investments) and 10% to the General Partner.
Change in Reporting Year End
The Partnership has elected to change its year end for financial reporting
purposes from December 31 to March 31. All financial information reflected in
the financial statements and related footnotes has been adjusted for this change
in year end except for the combined condensed financial information relating to
the Local Limited Partnerships included in Note 2.
Due to the change in year end, unaudited financial information as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 is included in the financial statements for
comparative purposes only. The financial statements as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 are unaudited but include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of
operations of the Partnership for the interim period.

For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Risks and Uncertainties
The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income housing and to the
management and ownership of multi-unit residential real estate. Some of these
risks are that the low income housing credit could be recaptured and that
neither the Partnership's investments nor the Housing Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests; limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are or will be subject
to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership does not make its
mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing
Complex and low-income housing credits. As a limited partner of the Local
Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect
to management of the Local Limited Partnerships, and will rely totally on the
Local General Partners of the Local Limited Partnerships for management of the
Local Limited Partnerships. The value of the Partnership's investments will be
subject to changes in national and local economic conditions, including
unemployment conditions, which could adversely impact vacancy levels, rental
payment defaults and operating expenses. This, in turn, could substantially
increase the risk of operating losses for the Housing Complexes and the
Partnership. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership is subject to risks
relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters, which might be
uninsurable. Because the Partnership's operations will depend on these and other
factors beyond the control of the General Partner and the Local General
Partners, there can be no assurance that the anticipated low income housing
credits will be available to Limited Partners.
In addition, Limited Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the low income housing credit are complicated, and the use of credits can be
limited. The only material benefit from an investment in Units may be the low
income housing credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop. All management decisions will
be made by the General Partner.
Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships
The Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment
balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnership's results of operations
and for any distributions received. The accounting policies of the Local Limited
Partnerships are consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the
Partnership in acquiring the investments are capitalized as part of the
investment account and are being amortized over 30 years (see Note 2).
Losses from limited partnerships for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and
1996 have been recorded by the Partnership based on reported results provided by
the Local Limited Partnerships. Losses from limited partnerships for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 have been estimated by management of the
Partnership. Losses from limited partnerships allocated to the Partnership will
not be recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted
below zero.
Offering Expenses
Offering expenses consist of underwriting commissions, legal fees, printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred with selling limited
partnership interests in the Partnership. The General Partner is obligated to
pay all offering and organization costs in excess of 15% (including sales
commissions) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are reflected as
a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $1,356,705 at the end
of all periods presented.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There
were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 and 1997.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At March 31, 1999, the Partnership maintained a cash balance at a certain
financial institution in excess of the maximum federally insured amounts.
Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit
Net loss per limited partnership unit is calculated pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per unit
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.
Calculation of diluted net income per unit is not required.
Reporting Comprehensive Income
In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes
standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be included in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive
income includes net income as well as certain items that are reported directly
within a separate component of Partners' equity and bypass net income. The
Partnership adopted the provisions of this statement in 1998. For the periods
presented, the Partnership has no elements of other comprehensive income, as
defined by SFAS No. 130.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
As of the periods presented, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one
housing complex consisting of an aggregate of 812 apartment units. As of
December 31, 1998, construction on all multifamily complexes was complete. The
respective general partners of the Local Limited Partnerships manage the day to
day operations of the entities. Significant Local Limited Partnership business
decisions require approval from the Partnership. The Partnership, as a limited
partner, is generally entitled to 99%, as specified in the Local Limited
Partnership agreements, of the operating profits and losses, taxable income and
losses and tax credits of the Local Limited Partnerships.
The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships as shown in the
balance sheets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are approximately $776,000 and
$817,000, respectively, greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the
Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements. This difference is primarily
due to unrecorded losses, as discussed below, acquisition, selection and other
costs related to the acquisition of the investments which have been capitalized
in the Partnership's investment account and to capital contributions payable to
the limited partnerships which were netted against partner capital in the Local
Limited Partnership's financial statements.
Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is recognized in the financial
statements until the related investment account is reduced to a zero balance.
Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not
recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years,
the Partnership will resume applying the equity method only after its share of
such net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the
period(s) the equity method was suspended.
Distributions received by limited partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance. Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are recognized as income.
At March 31, 1999, the investment accounts in certain Local Limited Partnerships
have reached a zero balance. Consequently, a portion of the Partnership's
estimate of its share of losses for the three month period ended March 31, 1999
amounting to approximately $16,000 have not been recognized. The Partnership's
share of losses during the year ended December 31, 1998 amounting to
approximately $59,000, have not been recognized. As of March 31, 1999, the
aggregate share of net losses not recognized by the Partnership amounted to
$75,000.
Following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in Local
Limited Partnerships for the periods presented:

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses
and have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partners may be
required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If
additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the
Partnership's investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be
impaired.
The financial statements of one Local Limited Partnership were prepared assuming
the limited partnership will continue as a going concern. The Partnership had a
$699,602 remaining investment in such Lower Tier Partnership at December 31,
1998. The Partnership's original investment in the Lower Tier Partnership
approximated $1,691,585. Through December 31, 1998, the limited partnership has
had recurring losses, working capital deficiencies and has not been billed for
certain property tax expenses due since 1994. The Local Limited Partnership is
seeking abatement or an extended payment plan to pay down certain of these
liabilities; however, if the Local Limited Partnership is unsuccessful,
additional funding may be requested from the Partnership. In the event the Local
Limited Partnership is required to liquidate or sell its property, the net
proceeds could be significantly less than the carrying value of such property.
As of December 31, 1998 and 1997, the carrying value of such property on the
books and records of the Lower Tier Partnership totaled $7,041,056 and
$7,232,514. The auditors for this entity have expressed substantial doubt as to
this entity's ability to continue as a going concern as a result of the property
tax issue.
In September 1996, the original general partners of this limited partnership
were removed. The Los Angeles County Housing Development Corporation ("LACHDC")
was named as the sole general partner. In September 1997, Community Housing
Assistance Program, Inc., a California nonprofit corporation replaced LACHDC as
the sole general partner.

if the General Partner or its affiliates render services in the sales
effort.

the management fees related to 1998 and 1997, respectively, in accordance
with the terms of the Partnership's prospectus.

management fee exceed 0.2% of Invested Assets. "Invested Assets" means the
sum of the Partnership's investment in Local Limited Partnerships and the
Partnership's allocable share of the amount of the indebtedness related to
the Housing Complexes. Fees of $10,000 and $40,000 were incurred during the

compounded, "return" to the Limited Partners (including Low Income Housing
Credits) as a class, on their adjusted capital contributions commencing for

the Limited Partner's capital contribution is received by the Partnership,
calculated at the following rates: (i) 16% through December 31, 2003, and
(ii) 6% for the balance of the Partnership's term. No disposition fees have
been paid.
(c) Operating Expenses. The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner or its
affiliates for operating expenses of approximately $21,000 and $1,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended December

months ended March 31, 1999 or the year ended December 31, 1998.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
(a) Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
No person is known to the General Partner to own beneficially in excess of
5% of the outstanding units.
(b) Security Ownership of Management
Neither the General Partner, its affiliates, nor any of the officers or

The management and control of the General Partner may be changed at any

and successor General Partners in certain circumstances.
First, with the consent of any other General Partners and a
majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners, any General Partner may
designate one or more persons to be successor or additional General
Partners. In addition, any General Partner may, without the consent of any
other General Partner or the Limited Partners, (i) substitute in its stead
as General Partner any entity which has, by merger, consolidation or
otherwise, acquired substantially all of its assets, stock or other
evidence of equity interest and continued its business, or (ii) cause to be
admitted to the Partnership an additional General Partner or Partners if it
deems such admission to be necessary or desirable so that the Partnership
will be classified a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Finally,
a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners may at any time remove the
General Partner of the Partnership and elect a successor General Partner.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
The General Partner manages all of the Partnership's affairs. The transactions
