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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward Looking Statements With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and other discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-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. Item 7A.

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. /s/ BDO SEIDMAN, LLP Orange County, California BDO SEIDMAN, LLP June 26, 2001 12 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 1 (A California Limited Partnership) BALANCE SHEETS March 31 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- 2001 2000 -------------- -------------- ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 312,214 $ 310,214 Investments in limited partnerships (Notes 2 and 3) 2,823,846 3,538,899 Other assets -

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. 17 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 1 (A California Limited Partnership) 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 - -------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 18 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 1 (A California Limited Partnership) 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. 19 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 1 (A California Limited Partnership) 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: For the Years Ended For the Three For the Year Months Ended Ended March 31 March 31 December 31 ---------------------------------- --------------- -------------- 2001 2000 1999 1998 --------------- ----------------- --------------- -------------- Investments per balance sheet, beginning of period $ 3,538,899 $ 4,298,485 $ 4,495,621 $ 4,976,247 Capital contributions paid, net (28) (5,864) - 276,057 Distributions received (20,141) (31,390) (4,000) (6,025) Capitalized acquisition fees and costs - - - 5,789 Equity in losses of limited partnerships (666,388) (693,836) (186,012) (728,078) Amortization of paid acquisition fees and costs (28,496) (28,496) (7,124) (28,369) --------------- ----------------- --------------- -------------- Investments per balance sheet, end of period $ 2,823,846 $ 3,538,899 $ 4,298,485 $ 4,495,621 =============== ================= =============== ============== 20 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 1 (A California Limited Partnership) 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 financial information from the individual financial statements of the Local Limited Partnerships include rental and interest subsidies.

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. 22 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 1 (A California Limited Partnership) 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 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS - ----------------------------------- Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership is obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for the following items: 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 presented, the Partnership incurred acquisition costs of $54,949, which have been included in investments in limited partnerships. Accumulated amortization amounted to $54,949 and $8,861 as of March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Of the accumulated amortization recorded on the balance sheet at March 31, 2001, $44,256 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 cost component of investments in local limited partnerships to zero for those Local Limited Partnerships which would otherwise be below a zero balance.
