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.  Wilfred N.  Cooper,  Jr.,  President of
Associates,  owns 2.1% 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, 2001, 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
reflects the status of the twenty-one Housing Complexes as the dates and for the
periods indicated:

Forward Looking Statements

With  the  exception  of  the  discussion  regarding   historical   information,
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations"  and other  discussions  elsewhere in this Form 10-K 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.

                                       9




Risks and uncertainties  inherent in forward looking statements include, but are
not  limited  to,  our  future  cash  flows and  ability  to  obtain  sufficient
financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the low income housing tax
credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings.
Historical  results are not necessarily  indicative of the operating results for
any future period.

Subsequent  written and oral forward  looking  statements  attributable to us or
persons  acting on our behalf  are  expressly  qualified  in their  entirety  by
cautionary  statements  in this Form 10-K 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.

Financial Condition

The  Partnership's  assets at March 31, 2001 consisted  primarily of $312,000 in
cash and aggregate  investments in the twenty-one Local Limited  Partnerships of
$2,824,000.  Liabilities at March 31, 2001 were $118,000,  of which $116,000 was
accrued annual management fees, and $2,000 was payables to limited partnerships.

Results of Operations

Year  Ended  March  31,  2001   Compared  to  Year  Ended  March  31,  2000  The
Partnership's  net  loss for the  year  ended  March  31,  2001 was  $(743,000),
reflecting  a decrease  of $30,000  from the net loss  experienced  for the year
ended  March 31,  2000.  The decline in net loss is  primarily  due to equity in
losses of limited  partnerships  which declined by $28,000 to $(666,000) for the
year ended March 31,  2001 from  $(694,000)  for the year ended March 31,  2000.
Equity in losses of limited  partnerships  increased due to the reduction of the
respective  net  acquisition  fee  component  of  investments  in Local  Limited
Partnerships to zero for those Local Limited  Partnerships which would otherwise
be below a zero  balance.  This  decrease  was a result of the  Partnership  not
recognizing certain losses of the Local Limited Partnerships. The investments in
such Local  Limited  Partnerships  had reached $0 at March 31,  2000.  Since the
Partnership's  liability with respect to its  investments is limited,  losses in
excess of investments are not recognized.

Year  Ended  March 31,  2000  Compared  to Year Ended  December  31,  1998.  The
Partnership's  net  loss for the  year  ended  March  31,  2000 was  $(773,000),
reflecting  a decrease  of $82,000  from the net loss  experienced  for the year
ended  December 31, 1998.  The decline in net loss is primarily due to equity in
losses from limited partnerships which declined by $34,000 to $(694,000) for the
year ended March 31, 2000 from  $(728,000) for the year ended December 31, 1998.
This decrease was a result of the Partnership not recognizing  certain losses of
the  Local  Limited   Partnerships.   The  investments  in  such  Local  Limited
Partnerships had reached $0 at March 31, 2000. Since the Partnership's liability
with respect to its  investments is limited,  losses in excess of investment are
not recognized. In addition, the Partnership experienced a decrease in operating
expenses  paid to third  parties of $59,000  partially  offset by a decrease  in
interest income of $12,000.

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.


                                       10




Cash Flows

Year Ended  March 31,  2001  Compared  to Year Ended  March 31,  2000.  Net cash
provided  during the year ended March 31, 2001 was $2,000,  compared to net cash
used for the year ended March 31, 2000 of  $(31,000).  The change was  primarily
due to the  collection  of $18,000 of amounts due from an affiliate and due to a
$13,000  decrease in amounts  reimbursed to the General  Partner or  affiliates.
This was offset by a $17,000  decrease of cash used for  investments  in limited
partnerships  and by a $11,000  decrease in  distributions  received  from Local
Limited Partnerships.

Year Ended March 31, 2000  Compared to Year Ended  December 31,  1998.  Net cash
used during the year ended March 31,  2000 was  $(31,000),  compared to net cash
used  for the year  ended  December  31,  1998 of  $(389,000).  The  change  was
primarily due to a decrease in cash used for investments in limited partnerships
and  capitalized  acquisition  fees  and  costs  of  $324,000,  an  increase  in
distributions received from Local Limited Partnerships of $25,000 and a decrease
in cash used in operating  activities,  resulting  primarily  from a decrease in
interest  income  received  and a  decrease  in cash paid to third  parties  for
operating expenses.

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.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at March 31, 2001, to be  sufficient  to meet all  currently  foreseeable
future cash requirements.

               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, 2001 and 2000,  and the related  statements of  operations,  partners'
equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, 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 69% and
63% of the  total  assets  of the  Partnership  at  March  31,  2001  and  2000,
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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the  United  States of  America.  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, 2001 and 2000, and the results
of its  operations  and its cash flows for the years  ended  March 31,  2001 and
2000,  the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended  December  31,
1998, in conformity with accounting  principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

                  For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and
                      For The Year Ended December 31, 1998


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. Wilfred
N. Cooper, Jr., President of WNC, owns 2.1% 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
- ----------------------------

In 1999, the Partnership  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.

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 year ended December 31, 1998 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 have been  estimated  by  management  of the  Partnership.
Losses from Local  Limited  Partnerships  for the years ended March 31, 2001 and
2000 have been  recorded  by the  Partnership  based on nine  months of reported
results  provided  by the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  and on three  months of
results  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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                  For The Years Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
                  For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and
                      For The Year Ended December 31, 1998

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, 2001 and 2000.

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

At March 31,  2001,  the  Partnership  maintained  a cash  balance  at a certain
financial institution in excess of the maximum federally insured amounts.

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

Net loss per  limited  partner  unit is  calculated  pursuant  to  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share. Net loss per unit
includes no dilution  and is computed  by  dividing  loss  available  to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding  during the period.
Calculation of diluted net loss 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.

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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

                  For The Years Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000,
                  For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and
                      For The Year Ended December 31, 1998


NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, continued
- -------------------------------------------------------

The  Partnership's  investments  in Local Limited  Partnerships  as shown in the
balance  sheets  at March 31,  2001 and 2000,  are  approximately  $692,000  and
$618,000,  respectively,  greater than the Partnership's equity at the preceding
December  31 as shown in the  Local  Limited  Partnerships'  combined  financial
statements  presented  below.  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. The Partnership's investment is also
lower than the Partnership's equity as shown in the Local Limited  Partnership's
combined  financial  statements  due to the  estimated  losses  recorded  by the
Partnership for the three month period ended March 31.

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, 2001 and 2000,  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 years ended March 31, 2001
and  2000  and the  three  month  period  ended  March  31,  1999  amounting  to
approximately  $97,000,  $75,000  and  $16,000,  respectively,   have  not  been
recognized. The Partnership's share of losses during the year ended December 31,
1998 amounting to approximately $59,000 has not been recognized. As of March 31,
2001,  the  aggregate  share of net losses  not  recognized  by the  Partnership
amounted to $247,000.

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, and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.

The financial statements of one Local Limited Partnership were prepared assuming
the limited partnership will continue as a going concern.  The Partnership had a
$441,770,  $427,978,  $644,019 and $699,602  remaining  investment in such Local
Limited  Partnership  at March 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  and December 31, 1998,
respectively.  The  Partnership's  original  investment  in  the  Local  Limited
Partnership  approximated  $1,691,585.  Through  December  31,  2000,  the Local
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, 2000 and 1999, the carrying value of such
property  on the books and  records  of the Local  Limited  Partnership  totaled
$6,703,761  and  $6,849,598.   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.

Under the terms of the  Partnership  Agreement,  the Partnership is obligated to

     Acquisition  fees  of up to 8% of the  gross  proceeds  from  the  sale  of
     Partnership  units as compensation for services rendered in connection with
     the  acquisition of Local Limited  Partnerships.  At the end of all periods
     presented,   the  Partnership   incurred   acquisition  fees  of  $800,000.
     Accumulated  amortization  of these  capitalized  costs  was  $243,289  and
     $157,298 as of March 31, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  Of the  accumulated
     amortization recorded on the balance sheet at March 31, 2001 $59,327 of the
     related  expense was reflected as equity in losses of limited  partnerships
     on the statement of operations  during the fourth quarter of the year ended
     March 31, 2001 to reduce the  respective net  acquisition  fee component of
     investments in local limited  partnerships  to zero for those Local Limited
     Partnerships which would otherwise be below a zero balance.

     Reimbursement  of costs incurred by the General  Partner in connection with
     the acquisition of Local Limited  Partnerships.  These  reimbursements have
     not  exceeded  1.2%  of  the  gross  proceeds.  At the  end of all  periods

     respectively. Of the accumulated amortization recorded on the balance sheet

     in losses of limited partnerships on the statement of operations during the
     fourth  quarter of the year ended March 31,  2001 to reduce the  respective
     net acquisition cost component of investments in local limited partnerships
     to zero for those Local Limited Partnerships which would otherwise be below
     a zero balance.

     An annual asset  management  fee equal to the greater  amount of (i) $2,000
     for each apartment  complex,  or (ii) 0.275% of gross  proceeds.  In either
     case,  the fee will be decreased or increased  annually based on changes to
     the Consumer  Price  Index.  However,  in no event will the maximum  amount
     exceed  0.2% of the  invested  assets  of the Local  Limited  Partnerships,
     including the  Partnership's  allocable share of the mortgages.  Management
     fees of $42,000  were  incurred  during the years  ended March 31, 2001 and
     2000, $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1999, and $40,000 was

     partners  receiving a preferred return of 16% through December 31, 2003 and
     6% thereafter (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and is payable only
     if the  General  Partner or its  affiliates  render  services  in the sales
     effort.

     An affiliate of the General Partner provides management services for one of
     the properties in the limited partnerships.  Management fees were earned by
     the  affiliate  in the amount of $53,276  and  $50,259  for the years ended

Item 11.  Executive Compensation:

The Partnership has no officers,  employees,  or directors.  However,  under the

     sum of the Partnership's  investment in Local Limited  Partnerships and the

     the Housing Complexes.  Fees of $42,000,  $42,000, $10,000 and $40,000 were

     subordinated  to  the  prior  return  of  the  Limited   Partners'  capital
     contributions  and  payment  of the  return on  investment  to the  Limited
     Partners.  "Return  on  Investment"  means an  annual,  cumulative  but not
     compounded,  "return" to the Limited Partners (including Low Income Housing
     Credits) as a class, on their adjusted capital contributions commencing for
     each Limited  Partner on the last day of the calendar  quarter during which
     the Limited Partner's capital  contribution is received by the Partnership,

     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

     General Partner of the Partnership and elect a successor General Partner.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



To the Board of Directors
Laurel Creek Apartments
San Luis Obispo, California

We have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheet of Laurel Creek  Apartments (A
California  Limited  Partnership)  as of  December  31,  2000  and  the  related
statements of income, expenses, and changes in partners' capital, and cash flows
for the year then ended.  These financial  statements are the  responsibility of
the  Partnerships'  management.  Our  responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the financial position of Laurel Creek Apartments as of
December 31, 2000,  and the results of its operations for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                DECEMBER 31, 2000


Note   1 - DEFINITION OF REPORTING ENTITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING
       POLICIES

       The Laurel Creek Apartments is a California Limited Partnership which was
       formed on May 17, 1994. The partnership was formed to construct, acquire,
       own,  operate,  maintain,  manage,  lease,  sell,  mortgage or  otherwise
       dispose of a 24 unit  apartment  complex  located in the City of San Luis
       Obispo, California.

       As of the  report  date  there  are  two  partners  in  the  partnership,
       consisting of one general and one limited partner.

       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

       a.     Basis of accounting

              The   partnership  is  accounted  for  on  the  accrual  basis  of
              accounting.  Under this method  revenues are recognized  when they
              are earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred.

              b. Fixed assets and depreciation

              Fixed  assets  are  carried  at cost.  Expenditures  for the fixed
              assets are  capitalized.  Maintenance  and  repairs are charged to
              operations.  Depreciation  is calculated  using the  straight-line
              basis over the estimated useful lives.

              c. Income taxes

              Taxable  income  or  expenses  and  related  tax  credits  are not
              reflected as expenses or credits of the  partnership.  These items
              are the responsibilities of the individual partners.

Note 8 - LAND DONATION AND LEASE

       The land upon which the Laurel Creek Apartments were built was originally
       leased  from the  City of San  Luis  Obispo  (the  City)  by the  Housing
       Authority  of the City of San Luis  Obispo  (the  Authority).  This lease
       agreement  was later  assigned  from the Authority to the San Luis Obispo
       Nonprofit  Housing  Corporation  (the  Corporation).  The lease was later
       assigned to the Laurel Creek  Apartments  Partnership.  Each of the above
       mentioned agencies have common board members or in some other manner have
       oversight  responsibilities  over the other  organizations;  which  would
       qualify them as related parties.

       The lease  expires on April 29, 2046.  The  provisions  for  extending or
       renewing the lease term are not  specified  and are  contingent  upon the
       continuation of the project being used to provide  affordable  housing to
       lower income families. The annual lease payments are $1 per year.

       The land was recorded on the Agency's  books of accounts at the appraised
       value on the date  the  land  lease  was  assigned  to the  Agency.  This
       appraised value was $275,000.  The value of the land was also recorded as
       a capital contribution from the general partner on that date.
