Item 1. Business
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 (the "Partnership") is a
California limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of California
on September 27, 1993 to acquire limited partnership interests in local limited
partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships") which own multifamily apartment
complexes that are eligible for low-income housing federal income tax credits
(the "Low Income Housing Credit")
The general partner of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credits Partner IV, L.P. ("The
General Partner"). The general partner of the General Partner is WNC &
Associates, Inc. ("Associates"). The business of the Partnerships is conducted
primarily through Associates as neither the General Partner nor the Partnership
have employees of their own.
The Partnership conducted its public offering ("Offering") from July 1994 to
July 1995. 20,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interests ("Units"), at a price
of $1,000 per Unit were offered. Since inception a total of 15,600 Units
representing approximately $15,241,000 were sold throughout the offering. Enova
Financial, Inc. a California corporation, which is not an affiliate of the
Partnership or General Partner, has purchased 4,000 Units, which represents
25.6% of the Units outstanding for the Partnership. Enova Financial, Inc.
invested $3,641,000. A discounts of $359,000 was allowed due to a volume
discount. See Item 12(a) in this 10-K.
Holders of Limited Partnership Interests are referred to herein as "Limited
Partners."
The Partnership has applied and will apply funds raised through its public
offerings, including the installment payments of the Limited Partners'
promissory notes as received, to the purchase price and acquisition fees and
costs of Local Limited Partnership Interests, reserves, and expenses of this
Offering.
Description of Business
The Partnership's principal business is to provide its Limited Partners with Low
Income Housing Credits. The Partnership's principal business therefore consists
of investing as a limited partner in Local Limited Partnerships each of which
will own and operate an apartment complex ("Apartment Complex") which will
qualify for the federal Low Income Housing Credit. In general, under Section 42,
an owner of a low-income housing project is entitled to receive the Low Income
Housing Credit in each year of a ten-year period (the "Credit Period"). The
Apartment Complex is subject to a 15-year compliance period (the "Compliance
Period").
2
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 a Local Limited Partnership of any Apartment Complex prior to the end of the
applicable Compliance Period. Because of (i) the nature of the Apartment
Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income
housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the inability of the
Partnership to directly cause the sale of Apartment Complexes by Local General
Partners, but generally only to require such Local General Partners to use their
respective best efforts to find a purchaser for the Apartment Complexes, it is
not possible at this time to predict whether the liquidation of substantially
all of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the proceeds, if any, in
accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership ("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 an Apartment Complex,
it is anticipated that the Local General Partner will either continue to operate
such Apartment Complex or take such other actions as the Local General Partner
believes to be in the best interest of the Local Limited Partnership. In
addition, circumstances beyond the control of the General Partner may occur
during the Compliance Period which would require the Partnership to approve the
disposition of an Apartment Complex prior to the end thereof.
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had invested in twenty Local Limited
Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships owns an Apartment Complex
that is or is expected to be eligible for the Low Income Housing Credit. All of
the Local Limited Partnerships 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 multifamily residential real estate. Some of these
risks are that the Low Income Housing Credit could be recaptured and neither the
Partnership's investments nor the Apartment Complexes owned by Local Limited
Partnerships will be readily marketable. Additionally, there can be no assurance
that the Partnership will be able to dispose of its interest in the Local
Limited Partnerships at the end of the Compliance Period. The value of the
Partnership's investments could 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
Apartment Complexes and the Partnership. The Apartment Complexes will be subject
to loss through foreclosure. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards which might be uninsurable.
Because the Partnership's ability to control its 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 Partnership operations will be
profitable or that the anticipated Low Income Housing Credits will be available
to Limited Partners.
3
As of December 31, 1996, 19 of the 20 Apartment Complexes acquired by the
Partnership were completed and in operation and one was under construction. The
Apartment Complexes owned by the Local Limited Partnerships in which the
Partnership has invested were or are being developed by the Local General
Partners who acquired the sites and applied for applicable mortgages and
subsidies. The Partnership became the principal limited partner in these Local
Limited Partnerships pursuant to arm's-length negotiations with the Local
General Partners. As a limited partner, the Partnership's liability for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment. The
Local General Partner of the Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for
developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Apartment
Complex.

twenty Limited Partnerships invested in or identified by the Partnership:

(1) Low Income Housing Credits are available over a 10-year period. For the
year in which the credit first becomes available with respect to an
Apartment Complex, The Partnership will receive only that percentage of
the annual credit which corresponds to the number of months during
which The Partnership was a limited partner of the Local Limited
Partnership, and during which the Apartment Complex was completed and
in service.
(2) Rehabilitation property.
(3) The Rural Economic and Community Development Services (formerly the
Farmers Home Administration) of the United States Department of
Agriculture ("RECDS") provides mortgage loans under the RECDS Section
515 Mortgage Loan Program. Each of these mortgage loans is or will be a
50-year loan and bears or will bear annual interest at a market rate
prior to reduction of the interest rate by a mortgage interest subsidy
to an annual rate of 1%, with principal and interest payable monthly
based on a 50-year amortization schedule.
(4) Senior citizen housing.
(5) The Wisconsin Housing & Economic Development Authority ("WHEDA") will
provide the mortgage loan for a term of 30 years at an interest rate of
6.65% per annum, with principal and interest payable monthly based on a
30-year amortization schedule.
(6) The California Housing and Finance Agency ("CHFA") will provide the
mortgage loan for a term of 40 years at an interest rate of 9% per
annum, with principal and interest payable monthly based on a 40-year
amortization schedule.
(7) Margaret N. Chaffee, one of the Local General Partners, will provide a
second loan for a term of 40 years at an interest rate of 9.25% per
annum, with principal and interest payable monthly based on a 40-year
amortization schedule.
(8) The California Community Reinvestment Corporation ("CCRC") is providing
the mortgage loan at an annual interest rate of 8.75%, with principal

9
(9) California has established the Rental Housing Construction Program
("RHCP") to provide low interest loans directly to project sponsors for
the construction of new rental housing for occupancy by very low-income
households, lower-income households and other households. RHCP funding
is provided through a combination of interim construction and permanent
loans or through permanent loans only. The standard interest rate is 3%
per annum, calculated on a simple (non-compounded) basis. The minimum
term to maturity is 40 years, with longer original terms and 10-year
extensions available. The repayment schedule is based on a formula
generally related to the project's ability to pay. During the first 30
years of the loan term, no principal payments are required. Interest is
payable from, and only to the extent of, net cash flow. Accrued
interest for any year which cannot be paid is deferred until such time
as net cash flow is sufficient for payment thereof. Commencing with the
30th year of the loan term, principal and interest are payable out of
net cash flow. The amount of the required payments depends, in part, on
the remaining duration of the loan term. In each project, 30% or more
of all units must be assisted units, and at least 2/3 of all assisted
units must be very low-income units.
(10) California Community Reinvestment Corp. will provide the mortgage loan
at a fixed interest rate of 9% per annum. The loan will be for a
30-year term, with principal and interest payable monthly based on a
30-year amortization schedule.

for a term of 22 years at a variable interest rate. The interest rate
will be adjusted every 36 months to an annual rate of 9% per annum and
a maximum rate of 11.5% per annum. Principal and interest will be
payable monthly based on a 22-year amortization schedule.
(12) Rural Economic and Community Development Services (formerly, the
Farmers Home Administration) of the United States Department of
Agriculture ("RECDS") provides mortgage loans under the RECDS Section
515 Mortgage Loan Program. The mortgage loan will bear annual interest
at a market rate prior to reduction of the interest rate by a mortgage
interest subsidy to an annual rate of 1%, with principal and interest
payable monthly. The term and amortization schedule will be 40 years.
(13) First National Bank of Omaha ("FNBO") will provide the mortgage loan
for a term of 15 years at a variable interest rate. The interest rate
will be adjusted every 36 months to an annual rate of 25 basis points
over the three-year Treasury Constant Maturities. The note will have a
minimum rate of 9% and a maximum rate of 11.5%. Principal and interest
will be payable monthly based on a 22-year amortization schedule.

interests in Apartment Complexes. See Item 1 for information pertaining to the
Apartment Complexes.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,914,300 for the period
ended December 31, 1996. This decrease in cash consists of cash (used in) and
provided by the Partnership's operating, investing activities and financing
activities of approximately $60,900, $(2,837,900) and $(137,300), respectively.
Cash used by investing activities consisted primarily of capital contributions
to Local Limited Partnerships of approximately $2,793,700, and payment of
capitalized costs and offering expenses totaling $25,300 and 22,700,
respectively. Cash used by financing activities consisted of advances to General
Partner and affiliates. Cash provided by operating activities consisted of
interest earned on cash balances. Cash used in operating activites consisted
primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses. The major components of
all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,565,600 for the period
ended December 31, 1995. Cash from financing activities of approximately
$9,826,200 was sufficient to fund the investing activities of the Partnership in
the aggregate amount of approximately $5,315,600, which consisted primarily of
capital contributions to Local Limited Partnerships and offering expenses of
approximately $4,241,400 and $1,217,500, respectively. In addition, acquisition
costs and fees of $737,500 were paid during 1995. Cash provided by and used in
the operating activities of the Partnership was minimal compared to its other
activities. Cash provided by operating activities consisted primarily of
interest received on cash deposits, and cash used in operating activities
consisted primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses. The major
components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.
The Partnership is indebted to WNC & Associates, Inc., at December 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 in the amount of approximately $9,300 and $146,700,
respectively. The component items of such indebtedness are as follows:
December 31, 1996 December 31, 1995
----------------- -----------------
Advances to make loans and
capital contributions to
Local Limited Partnerships
Advances to pay front end fees $9,300 $(2,500)
Asset management fees payable -- 58,900
Accrued acquisition fees -- 90,300
------ ------
$9,300 $146,700
====== ========
19
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has received approximately $15,241,000
from the sale of Units. Approximately $11,655,200 (76%) of which has been
committed to the purchase price and acquisition fees and costs of investments in
20 Local Limited Partnership Interests.
The Partnership had made capital contributions to Local Limited Partnerships in
the amount of approximately $9,778,000 as of December 31, 1996.
Prior to sale of the Apartment Complexes, it is not expected that any of the
Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested or will invest
will generate cash sufficient to provide distributions to the Partnership of any
material amount. Distributions to the Partnership would first by used to meet
operating expenses of the Partnership, including the payment of the asset
management fee to the General Partner. See Item 11 hereof. As a result, it is
not anticipated that the Partnership will provide distributions to the Limited
Partners prior to the sale of the Apartment Complexes, if ever.
The Partnership's investments are not readily marketable and may be affected by
adverse general economic conditions which, in turn, could substantially increase
the risk of operating losses for the Apartment Complexes, the Local Limited
Partnerships and the Partnership. These problems may result from a number of
factors, many of which cannot be controlled by the General Partner.
Nevertheless, the General Partner anticipates that capital raised from the sale
of the Units is sufficient to fund the Partnership's operations.
The Partnership has established working capital reserves of at least 3% of
capital contributions, an amount which is anticipated to be sufficient to
satisfy general working capital and administrative expense requirements of the
Partnership excluding payment of the asset management fee as well as expenses
attendant to the preparation of tax returns and reports to the Limited Partners
and other investor servicing obligations of the Partnership. Liquidity would,
however, be adversely affected by unanticipated or greater than anticipated
operating costs. To the extent that working capital reserves are insufficient to
satisfy the cash requirements of the Partnership, it is anticipated that
additional funds would be sought through bank loans or other institutional
financing. The General Partner may also apply any cash distributions received
from the Local Limited Partnerships for such purposes or to replenish or
increase working capital reserves.
20
Under its Partnership Agreement the Partnership does not have the ability to
assess its partners for additional capital contributions to provide capital if
needed by the Partnership or Local Limited Partnerships. Accordingly, if
circumstances arise that cause the Local Limited Partnerships to require capital
in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any equity of the Local
General Partners, the only sources from which such capital needs will be able to
be satisfied (other than the limited reserves available at the Partnership
level) will be (i) third-party debt financing (which may not be available, if,
as expected, the Apartment Complexes owned by the Local Limited Partnerships are
already substantially leveraged), (ii) additional equity contributions or
advances of the Local General Partners, (iii) other equity sources (which could
adversely affect the Partnership's interest in Low Income Housing Credits, cash
flow and/or proceeds of sale or refinancing of the Apartment Complexes and
result in adverse tax consequences to the Limited Partners), or (iv) the sale or
disposition of the Apartment Complexes (which could have the same adverse
effects as discussed in (iii) above). There can be no assurance that funds from
any of such sources would be readily available in sufficient amounts to fund the
capital requirement of the Local Limited Partnerships in question. If such funds
are not available, the Local Limited Partnerships would risk foreclosure on
their Apartment Complexes if they were unable to renegotiate the terms of their
first mortgages and any other debt secured by the Apartment Complexes to the
extent the capital requirements of the Local Limited Partnerships relate to such
debt.
The Partnership's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo major
changes during their first several years of operations as a result of the
completion of their offerings of Units and their acquisition of investments.
Thereafter, the Partnership's capital needs and resources are expected to be
relatively stable over the holding periods of the investments except to the
extent of proceeds received in payment of Promissory Notes and disbursed to fund
the deferred obligations of the Partnerships.
Results of Operations
As reflected on its Statements of Operations, the Partnership had losses of
approximately $573,300 $572,000, and $264,500 for the year ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The component items of revenue and expense
are discussed below.
21
Revenue. The Partnership's revenues consisted entirely of interest earned on
Promissory Notes and cash deposits held in financial institutions (i) as
Reserves, or (ii) pending investment in Local Limited Partnerships. Interest
revenue in future years will be a function of prevailing interest rates and the
amount of cash balances. It is anticipated that the Partnership will maintain
cash Reserves in an amount not materially in excess of the minimum amount
required by its Partnership Agreement, which is 3% of Capital Contributions.
Expenses. The most significant component of operating expenses is expected to be
the Asset Management Fee. The Asset Management Fees is equal to the greater of
(i) $2,000 for each Apartment Complex or (ii) 0.275% of gross proceeds, and will
be decreased or increased annually based on changes to the Consumer Price Index.
The annual management fee incurred was $42,900, $42,900 and $16,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and period July 18, 1994 (date operations
commenced) to December 31, 1994, respectively.
Amortization expense consist of the amortization over a period of 30 years of
the Acquisition Fee and other expenses attributable to the acquisition of Local
Limited Partnership Interests.
Interest Expense consisted of payments on a loan from a bank paid at the bank's
prime rate plus 1% (10.25% at December 31, 1995 and 9.75% at June 17, 1996.)
Office expense consist of the Partnership's administrative expenses, such as
accounting and legal fees, bank charges and investor reporting expenses.
Equity in losses from Limited Partnerships. The Partnership's equity in losses
from Limited Partnerships is equal to approximately 99% of the aggregate net
loss of the Limited Partnerships. After rent-up, the Limited Partnerships are
expected to generate losses during each year of operations; this is so because,
although rental income is expected to exceed cash operating expenses,
depreciation and amortization deductions claimed by the Limited Partnerships are
expected to exceed net rental income.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
IV, L.P., Series 2 (a California Limited Partnership) (the Partnership) as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, partners'
equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for the
period July 18, 1994 (date operations commenced) to December 31, 1994. 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. We did not audit the financial statements of the limited
partnerships in which WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 is a
limited partner. These investments, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, are accounted for by the equity method. The investments in these
limited partnerships represented 81% and 64% of the total assets of WNC Housing
Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Substantially all of the financial statements of the limited partnerships were
audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our
opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those limited
partnerships, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 (a
California Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995 and for the period July 18, 1994 (date operations commenced) to
December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Year Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and
For The Period From July 18, 1994 (Date Operations
Commenced) To December 31, 1994
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
Organization
- ------------
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 (the "Partnership") was formed
under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on September 27, 1993, and
commenced operations on July 18, 1994. Prior to October 1, 1994, the Partnership
was considered a development-stage enterprise. The Partnership was formed to
invest primarily in other limited partnerships which will own and operate
multi-family housing complexes that will qualify for low income housing credits.
The general partner is WNC Tax Credit Partners, IV, L.P.(the "General Partner"),
a California limited partnership. WNC & Associates, Inc. is the general partner
of the General Partner. Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable
Trust, owns 70% of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. John B.
Lester, Jr. is the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through
the Lester Family Trust, 30% of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc.
The Partnership agreement authorized the sale of 20,000 Units at $1,000 per Unit
("Units"). The offering of units concluded July 1995 at which time 15,600 units,
representing subscriptions, net of discounts for volume purchases of more than
100 units, of $15,241,000 had been accepted.
The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable
income and loss and in cash available for distribution from the Partnership. 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 a
subordinated disposition fee (as described in Note 4), 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.
The Partnership's investments in limited partnerships are subject to the risks
incident to the management and ownership of multifamily residential real estate,
and include the risks that neither the Partnership's investments nor the
apartment complexes owned by the limited partnerships will be readily
marketable. Additionally there can be no assurance that the Partnership will be
able to dispose of its interest in the 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
apartment complexes and the Partnership. The apartment complexes could be
subject to loss through foreclosure. In addition, each limited partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards which might be uninsurable.
Because the Partnership's ability to control its operations will depend on these
and other factors beyond the control of the General Partner and the general
partners of the limited partnerships, there can be no assurance that Partnership
operations will be profitable or that the anticipated housing tax credits will
be available to limited partners.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
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 limited partnership's results of operations and for
any distributions received. The accounting policies of the limited partnership
are consistent with the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in
acquiring the investments in limited partnerships are capitalized as part of the
investment and amortized over 30 years (see Note 3).
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 in connection with the
selling of 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. Through December 31,
1996, the Partnership incurred offering expenses and selling expenses of
$975,333 and $1,000,455, respectively.
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 investments with maturities of three months or
less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents totaled $2,134,000
at December 31, 1996 and represented investments in U.S. Treasury Bills.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.
Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit
- ---------------------------------
Net loss per limited partner unit is computed by dividing the limited partners'
share of net loss by the weighted number of limited partner units outstanding
during the period.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in twenty limited partnerships each of which owns one apartment
complex consisting of an aggregate of 737 apartment units. As of December 31,
1996, construction or rehabilitation of all of the apartment complexes had been
completed. The respective general partners of the limited partnerships manage
the day to day operations of the limited partnerships. Significant limited
partnership business decisions require approval from the Partnership. The
Partnership, as a limited partner, is entitled to 96% to 99%, as specified in
the partnership agreements, of the operating profits and losses of the limited
partnerships upon its acquisition of its limited partnership interests.
The Partnership's investments in limited partnerships as shown in the
accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are approximately
$1,446,000 and $2,589,000 greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the
limited partnerships' financial statements. This difference is primarily due to
acquisition costs related to the acquisition of the investments that have been
capitalized in the Partnership's investment account and are being amortized over
30 years (see Note 3) and certain capital contributions accrued but not paid
(see Note 4).
Following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
limited partnerships for the years ended December 31:
1996 1995

Investments, beginning of period $ 9,417,744 $ 6,235,586

Certain limited partnerships have incurred operating losses and have working
capital deficiencies. In the event these limited partnerships continue to incur
operating losses, additional capital contributions by the Partnership may be
required to sustain the operations of such limited partnerships. If additional
capital contributions are not made when they are required, the Partnership's
investment in certain of such limited partnerships could be impaired.
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 limited partnerships. Through December 31,
1996, the Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $1,058,950.
Accumulated amortization amounted to $61,031 and $25,748 as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Reimbursement of costs incurred by an affiliate of the General Partner
in connection with the acquisition of limited partnerships. These
reimbursements will not exceed 1.2% of the gross proceeds. As of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Partnership incurred acquisition costs
of $160,360 and $135,898, respectively, which have been included in

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 (defined as the
Partnership's capital contributions plus its allocable percentage of
the mortgage debt encumbering the apartment complexes) of the limited
partnerships. The Partnership incurred asset management fees of
$42,900, $42,900 and $16,000 for the periods ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively. During 1996, the Partnership paid $155,000
of such fees to the General Partner. Such over payment resulted in
amounts due from the General Partner totaling $53,200 as of December
31, 1996.
A subordinated disposition fee in 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 return on investment (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) and is payable only if services are rendered in
the sales effort.
Accrued fees and advances due the General Partner and affiliate consist of the
following at December 31, 1996 and 1995:

Amounts advanced to acquire limited partnerships bore interest at the rate
incurred by the affiliate on its line of credit which ranged from 9.75% to 10.5%
per annum during the period of acquisition. Interest expense related to such
borrowings totaled $5,350, $39,148 and $11,173 for the periods ended December
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
NOTE 4 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- -----------------------------------------
Payables to limited partnerships represent amounts which are due at various
times based on conditions specified in the limited partnership agreements. These
contributions are non-interest bearing, are payable in installments and are due
upon the limited partnerships achieving certain development and operating
benchmarks (generally within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership had received subscriptions for
approximately 782 units which included promissory notes of $184,500. Limited
partners who subscribed for ten or more units of limited partnership interest
($10,000) could elect to pay 50% of the purchase price in cash upon subscription
and the remaining 50% by the delivery of a promissory note payable, together
with interest at the rate of 11% per annum, due no later than 13 months after
the subscription date. Since the promissory notes had not been collected prior
to the issuance of the financial statements, the unpaid balance was reflected as
a reduction of partners' equity in the accompanying financial statements as of
December 31, 1994. All such amounts were collected during 1995.
