NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2006. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2005.
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 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 of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credit Partners IV, L.P.("TCP
IV"). The general partner of TCP IV is WNC & Associates, Inc.("Associates"). The
chairman and president own substantially all 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.
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 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 a sale or refinancing
equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined
in the Partnership Agreement) and the General Partner has received proceeds
equal to its capital contribution and subordinated disposition fee (as described
in Note 3) from the remainder, any additional sale or refinancing 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.
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
- -------------------------------
An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local
Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the amount of proceeds
available for distribution to Partnership, and the Partners, if any, on
liquidation of the Partnerships investments. Some of those risks include the
following:
The Low Income Housing Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated.
Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing
Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits
already taken. In

- --------------------------------------------------------------
most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that an
individual can use is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last
$25,000 of taxable income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to
sell the Housing Complexes at a price which would result in the Partnership
realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly,
the Partnership may be unable to distribute any cash to its limited partners.
Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the only benefit from an investment in the
Partnership.
The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships.
Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single
Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited
diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to
pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If
foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining
future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low
Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the
Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or a non-
managing member of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership
will have very limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited
Partnerships. The Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners.
Neither the Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships nor the
Local Limited Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes are readily
marketable. To the extent the Housing Complexes receive government financing or
operating subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
difficulties in obtaining tenants for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in
obtaining rent increases; limitations on cash distributions; limitations on
sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes; limitations on transfers of interests
in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners;
limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations.
Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low Income Housing Tax
Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits previously taken. The
value of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions,
including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning
policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions,
among others.
The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is
limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and
challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing Tax
Credits and tax losses allocable to the limited partners could be reduced if the
IRS were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could
reduce tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws
could also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or
the value of the Housing Complexes.
Substantially all of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits anticipated to be
realized from the Local Limited Partnerships have been realized. The Partnership
does not anticipate being allocated a significant amount of Low Income Housing
Tax Credits from the Local Limited Partnerships in the future. Until the Local
Limited Partnerships have completed the 15 year Low Income Housing Tax Credit
compliance period, risks exist for potential recapture of prior Low Income
Housing Tax Credits.
No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited
Partners may be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should
consider their Units to be a long-term investment. Individual limited partners
will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the
majority of Limited Partners.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Anticipated future and existing cash resources of the Partnership are not
sufficient to pay existing liabilities of the Partnership. However,
substantially all of the existing liabilities of the Partnership are payable to
the General Partner and/or its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the
General Partner and/or its affiliates are contractually currently payable, the
Partnership anticipates that the General Partner and/or its affiliates will not
require the payment of these contractual obligations until capital reserves are
in excess of the aggregate of then existing contractual obligations and then
anticipated future foreseeable obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership
would be adversely affected should the General Partner and/or its affiliates
demand current payment of the existing contractual obligations and or suspend
services for this or any other reason.
Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment
balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnerships' results of operations
and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership
reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a Local Limited
Partnership for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of such investment is measured by the estimated value derived by
management, generally consisting of the sum of the remaining future Low Income
Housing Tax Credits estimated to be allocated to the Partnership and the
estimated residual value to the Partnership. If an investment is considered to
be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the investment exceeds fair value. The accounting
policies of the Local Limited Partnerships are generally 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).
Equity in losses of Limited Partnerships for the periods ended June 30, 2005 and
2004 have been recorded by the Partnership based on three months of reported
results estimated by management of the Partnership. Management's estimate for
the three-month period is based on either actual unaudited results reported by
the Local Limited Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the
Local Limited Partnerships. In subsequent annual financial statements, upon
receiving the actual annual results reported by the Local Limited Partnerships,
management reverses its prior estimate and records the actual results reported
by the Local Limited Partnerships. Equity in losses from the Limited
Partnerships allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that
the investment balance would be adjusted below zero. As soon as the investment
balance reaches zero, amortization of the related costs of acquiring the
investment are accelerated to the extent of losses available (see Note 2). 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.
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. WNC 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 $946,704 at the end of all periods
presented.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Exit Strategy
- -------------
The IRS compliance period for Low Income Housing Tax Credit properties is
generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation
completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance
period.
With that in mind, we are continuing our review of the Partnership's holdings,
with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those that have
satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. Our review will consider many factors
including extended use requirements on the property (such as those due to
mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the
property, and the tax consequences to the limited partners from the sale of the
property.
Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, we expect to proceed with efforts to liquidate
those properties. Our objective is to maximize the Limited Partners' return
wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down those funds that no longer
provide tax benefits to Limited Partners. However, Local Limited Partnership
interests may be disposed at any time by Associates in its discretion. To date
no properties in the Partnership have been selected for disposition.
Use of Estimates
- ----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
At June 30, 2005, 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 loss per unit is not required.
Income Taxes
- ------------
No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements as any liability and/or benefits for income taxes as income taxes
flows to the partners of the Partnership and is their obligation and/or benefit.
For income tax purposes the Partnership reports on a calendar year basis.
Reporting Comprehensive Income
- ------------------------------
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income established standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income
for all periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

- --------------------------------------------------------------
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
As of March 31, 2004, the Partnership adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 -
Revised, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("FIN46R"). FIN 46R
provides guidance as to when a company should include the assets, liabilities,
and activities of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in its financial
statements, and when a company should disclose information about its
relationship with a VIE. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities
or hold assets, and a VIE must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary
beneficiary because a primary beneficiary absorbs the majority of the entity's
expected losses, the majority of the expected residual returns, or both.
Under FIN 46R, the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests
are VIEs. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership's interests
in these VIE's under FIN46R, as the Partnership is not considered the primary
beneficiary. Rather, the Partnership currently records the amount of the
investment in the Local Limited Partnerships as an asset in the balance sheet,
and recognizes its share of Local Limited Partnership income or loss in the
statement of operations.
The Partnership's balance in its investment in Local Limited Partnerships, plus
the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments,
represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership's exposure to loss is
mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying
properties, as well as the strength of the Local General Partners and their
guarantee against credit recapture.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154
(SFAS 154), "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" which provides guidance
on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and correction of
errors. This statement changes the requirements for the accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle and applies to all voluntary
changes in accounting principle. It also applies to changes required by an
accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not
include specific transition provisions. This statement is effective for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2005. The Partnership does not anticipate a material effect
upon the adoption of this statement.
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. 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.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, continued
- -------------------------------------------------------
Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses
and/or have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partners may be
required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If
additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the
Partnership's investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be
impaired, and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
The Partnership has no officers, employees, or directors. However, under the
terms of the Partnership Agreement the Partnership is obligated to the General
Partner or its affiliates for the following items:
(a) Annual Asset Management Fee. 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. The base fee amount will be adjusted annually based on
changes to the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the annual
asset management fee exceed 0.2% of the invested assets of the Local
Limited Partnerships, including the Partnership's allocable share of the
mortgages. Asset management fees of $10,500 were incurred for each of the
three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The Partnership paid $18,750 and
$7,500 of those asset management fees for the three months ended June 30,
2005 and 2004, respectively.
(b) Subordinated Disposition Fee. A subordinated disposition fee is an amount
equal to 1% of the sales price of real estate sold. Payment of this fee is
subordinated to the Limited Partners receiving a preferred return of 16%
through December 31, 2004 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
(c) The Partnership reimburses the General Partner or its affiliates for
operating expenses incurred in behalf of the Partnership. Operating expense
reimbursements are approximately $7,900 and $0 during the three months
ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The accrued fees and advances due to General Partner and/or its affiliates
consisted of the following:
June 30, 2005 March 31, 2005
---------------------- --------------------
Reimbursement for expenses paid by the General
Partner and/or its affiliate $ 1,470 $ 7,902
Asset management fee payable 160,917 169,167
---------------------- --------------------
$ 162,387 $ 177,069
====================== ====================
NOTE 4 - PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
- ---------------------------------------
Payables to Limited Partnerships represent amounts, which are due at various
times based on conditions specified in the Limited Partnership Agreement. These
contributions are payable in installments and are due upon the Limited
Partnership achieving certain operating and development benchmarks (generally
within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

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-Q contain
forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations
subject to uncertainties and other factors, which may involve known and unknown
risks that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from
those, projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are
based upon assumptions about future events, which may not prove to be accurate.
Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, 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-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the condensed unaudited Financial Statements and the Notes
thereto included elsewhere in this filing.
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and should be read in conjunction
with the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included within
this report.
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at June 30, 2005 consisted primarily of $170,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships of
$1,111,000. Liabilities at June 30, 2005 consisted primarily of $162,000 in
accrued asset annual management fees and reimbursement for expenses paid by the
General Partner and its affiliates.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was
$(17,000), reflecting a decrease of $16,000 from the net loss experienced for
the three months ended June 30, 2004 of $(33,000). The decrease in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships which decreased
by $10,000 to $(9,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $(19,000)
for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease in equity in losses of
Local Limited Partnerships is due to the Partnership not recognizing certain
losses of the Local Limited Partnerships. The investments in such Local Limited
Partnerships had reached $0 at June 30, 2005. Since the Partnership's liability
with respect to its investments is limited, losses in excess of investment are
not recognized. Along with the decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited
Partnerships, the loss from operations decreased by approximately $6,000 to
$(8,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2005 from $(14,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 2004, which was contributed to a $1,000 increase in
distribution income, $2,000 increase in reporting fee income, along with a
$1,000 decrease in amortization and a $2,000 decrease in other operating
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

Cash Flows
Three months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three months Ended June 30, 2004.
Net cash used during the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $(21,000) compared
to net cash used by the three months ended June 30, 2004 of $(8,000). The
increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in cash used by operating
activities of approximately $(10,000) which included a $16,000 decrease in
accrued fees and expense due to General Partner and its affiliates, and a
decrease in cash provided by investing activities of $(3,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 2005.
During the three months ended June 30, 2005, accrued payables, which consist
primarily of related party management fees and advances due to the General
Partner, increased by approximately $15,000.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at June 30, 2005, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.

NOT APPLICABLE
Item 4. Procedures and Controls

concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to the Partnership
required to be included in the Partnership's periodic SEC filings.
