PART I.

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. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership
interests in other limited partnerships or limited liability companies ("Local
Limited Partnerships") which own multifamily housing complexes that are eligible
for low-income housing federal and, in some cases, California income tax credits
(the "Low Income Housing Credit").

The general partner of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credit Partners IV, L.P. (the
"General Partner"). The general partner of the General Partner is WNC &
Associates, Inc. ("Associates"). Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper
Revocable Trust, owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of Associates. John B.
Lester, Jr. was the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns,
through the Lester Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of Associates.
The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through Associates, as
the Partnership has no employees of its own.

Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on October 20, 1993, in July 1994 the Partnership commenced a public
offering of 20,000 Units of Limited Partnership Interests ("Units"), at a price
of $1,000 per Unit. As of the close of the public offering in July 1995, a total
of 15,600 Units representing approximately $15,241,000 had been sold. Holders of
Limited Partnership Interests are referred to herein as "Limited Partners."

Sempra Energy Financial, 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. Sempra Energy Financial
invested $3,641,000. A discount of $359,000 was allowed due to a volume
discount. See Item 12(a) in this 10-K.

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 to the Prospectus thereto (the
"Partnership Agreement"), will be able to be accomplished promptly at the end of
the 15-year period. If a Local Limited Partnership is unable to sell its Housing
Complex, it is anticipated that the local general partner ("Local General
Partner") will either continue to operate such Housing Complex or take such
other actions as the Local General Partner believes to be in the best interest
of the Local Limited Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding, circumstances
beyond the control of the General Partner or the Local General Partners may
occur during the Compliance Period, which would require the Partnership to
approve the disposition of a Housing Complex prior to the end thereof, possibly
resulting in recapture of Low Income Housing Credits.

3

As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership had invested in twenty-two 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 makes 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 investment in Local Limited Partnerships the Partnership holds
limited partnership interests in Housing Complexes. The following table reflects
the status of the twenty-two Housing Complexes as of the dates and for the
periods indicated.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Financial Condition

The Partnership's assets at March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of $552,348 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-two Local Limited Partnerships of
$10,092,782. Liabilities at March 31, 1999 primarily consisted of $421,025 in
payables to limited partnerships and $26,759 of accrued annual management fees
due to the General Partner.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
$187,000 reflecting a decrease of $6,000 from the net loss experienced for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The decline in net loss is primarily due to
equity in losses of limited partnerships which declined by $27,000 to $(165,000)
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $(192,000) for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The reduction in equity losses recognized was partially
offset by an increase in loss from operations of $21,000 to $(22,000) for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 from $(1,000) for the three months ended March
31, 1998, due to a comparable increase in operating expense allocations and a
decrease in interest income.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. The
Partnership's net loss for 1998 was $(709,000), reflecting a decrease of $60,000
from the net loss experienced in 1997. The decline in net loss is primarily due
to equity in losses from limited partnerships which declined to $(659,000) in
1998 from $(737,000) in 1997 and a decrease in amortization expense of $9,000,
partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $27,000.

Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996. The
Partnership's net loss for 1997 was $(769,000), reflecting an increase of
$196,000 from the net loss experienced in 1996. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses from limited partnerships which increased to
$(737,000) in 1997 from $(629,000) in 1996 and a decrease in interest income of
$88,000.

Cash Flows

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
Net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $(186,000),
compared to net cash used during the three months ended March 31, 1998 of
$(98,000). The change was due primarily to an increase in investments in limited
partnerships of $72,000 and an increase in cash used for operating activities of
$20,000, partially offset by an increase in distributions from limited
partnerships of $4,000.

Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. Net cash
used in 1998 was $(742,000), compared to net cash used in 1997 of $(891,000).
The change was due primarily to a decrease in cash used for investments in
limited partnerships of $164,000, a refund of offering expenses received in 1998
of $5,000, and a decrease in cash paid to the General Partner and or affiliates
of $17,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest income received of
$35,000, and a decline in distributions from Local Limited Partnerships of
$2,000.

12


Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996. Net cash
used in 1997 was $(891,000), compared to $(2,914,000) in 1996. The change was
due primarily to a decrease in cash used for investments in limited partnerships
of $1,876,000, a decrease in cash paid to the General Partner and or affiliates
of $215,000, a decrease in offering expenses of $23,000 and a decrease in
interest paid of $5,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest income
received of $96,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31,
1998 accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party management fees
due to the General Partner, increased by $2,000 and $27,000, respectively. The
General Partner does not anticipate that these accrued fees will be paid in full
until such time as capital reserves are in excess of future forseeable working
capital requirements of the Partnership.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at March 31, 1999, to be sufficient to meet all currently forseeable
future cash requirements.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

WNC & Associates, Inc.

Status of Readiness

Information Technology (IT) Systems. The Partnership relies on the IT systems of
WNC, its ultimate general partner. IT systems include computer hardware and
software used to produce financial reports and tax return information. This
information is then used to generate reports to investors and regulatory
agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The IT systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.

Non-IT Systems. The Partnership also relies on the non-IT systems of WNC. Non-IT
systems include machinery and equipment such as telephones, voice mail and
electronic postage equipment. Except for one telephone system, the non-IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant. The one telephone system will require
the replacement of one computer and one software application, both of which will
be completed on or before October 1, 1999.

Service Providers. WNC also relies on the IT and non-IT systems of service
providers. Service providers include utility companies, financial institutions,
telecommunications carriers, municipalities, and other outside vendors. WNC has
obtained verbal assurances from its material service providers (electrical power
provider, financial institutions and telecommunications carriers) that their IT
and non-IT systems are year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance that this
compliance information is correct. There also can be no assurance that the
systems of other, less-important service providers and outside vendors will be
year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $20,000. The
cost to replace the telephone system noted above will be less than $5,000. The
cost to deal with potential year 2000 issues of other outside vendors cannot be
estimated at this time.

13

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

The most reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance of systems
of the service providers noted above will be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption would, in turn, lead to delays in performing
reporting and fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst
case scenario would be the replacement of a service provider. These delays would
likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on the
Partnership or WNC.

Local Limited Partnerships

Status of Readiness

WNC is in the process of obtaining year 2000 certifications from each Local
General Partner of each Local Limited Partnership. Those certifications will
represent to the Partnership that the IT and non-IT systems critical to the
operation of the Housing Complexes and investor reporting to the Partnership are
year 2000 compliant. These certifications will also represent to the Partnership
that the IT and non-IT systems of property management companies, independent
accountants, electrical power providers, financial institutions and
telecommunications carriers used by the Local Limited Partnership are year 2000
compliant.

There can be no assurance that the representations in the certifications will be
correct. There also can be no assurance that the systems of other,
less-important service providers and outside vendors, upon which the Local
Limited Partnerships rely, will be year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

There will be no cost to the Partnership as a result of assessing year 2000
issues for the Local Limited Partnerships. The cost to deal with potential year
2000 issues of the Local Limited Partnerships cannot be estimated at this time.

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

There may be Local General Partners who indicate that they or their property
management company are not year 2000 compliant and do not have plans to become
year 2000 compliant before the end of 1999. There may be other Local General
Partners who are unwilling to respond to the certification request. The most
likely result of either non-compliance or failure to respond will be the removal
and replacement of the property management company and/or the Local General
Partner with year 2000 compliant operators.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants


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
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related statements of operations,
partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. A significant
portion of the financial statements of the limited partnerships in which the
Partnership is a limited partner were audited by other auditors whose reports
have been furnished to us. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements,
the Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method. The portion of the Partnership's investments in limited
partnerships audited by other auditors represented 75% and 72% of the total
assets of the Partnership at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial
statements for the limited partnerships which were audited by others, is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits and the reports of 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 March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (Unaudited) and
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 (the "Partnership") was formed on
September 27, 1993 under the laws of the state of California and commenced
operations on July 18, 1994. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in
other limited partnerships (the "Local Limited Partnerships") which own and
operate multi-family housing complexes (the "Housing Complex") that are eligible
for low income housing credits. The local general partners (the "Local General
Partners") of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for
maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complex.

The general partner is WNC Tax Credit Partners, IV, L.P. (the "General
Partner"), a California limited partnership. WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") is
the general partner of the General Partner. Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the
Cooper Revocable Trust, owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of WNC. John B.
Lester, Jr. was the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns,
through the Lester Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of WNC.

The financial statements include only activity relating to the business of the
Partnership, and do not give effect to any assets that the partners may have
outside of their interests in the Partnership, or to any obligations, including
income taxes, of the partners.

The Partnership Agreement authorized the sale of 20,000 units at $1,000 per unit
("Units"). The offering of Units concluded in July 1995 at which time 15,600
Units representing subscriptions, net of discounts for volume purchases of more
than 100 units, in the amount of $15,241,000 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 contributions and a subordinated disposition fee (as described in
Note 4) from the remainder, any additional sale or refinancing proceeds will be
distributed 90% to the limited partners (in proportion to their respective
investments) and 10% to the General Partner.

Change in Reporting Year End

The Partnership has elected to change its year end for financial reporting
purposes from December 31 to March 31. All financial information reflected in
the financial statements and related footnotes has been adjusted for this change
in year end except for the combined condensed financial information relating to
the Local Limited Partnerships included in Note 3.

Due to the change in year end, unaudited financial information as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 is included in the financial statements for
comparative purposes only. The financial statements as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 are unaudited but include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of
operations of the Partnership for the interim period.

For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Risks and Uncertainties

The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income housing and to the
management and ownership of multi-unit residential real estate. Some of these
risks are that the low income housing credit could be recaptured and that
neither the Partnership's investments nor the Housing Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests; limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are or will be subject
to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership does not make its
mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing
Complex and low income housing credits. As a limited partner of the Local
Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect
to management of the Local Limited Partnerships, and will rely totally on the
Local General Partners of the Local Limited Partnerships for management of the
Local Limited Partnerships. The value of the Partnership's investments will be
subject to changes in national and local economic conditions, including
unemployment conditions, which could adversely impact vacancy levels, rental
payment defaults and operating expenses. This, in turn, could substantially
increase the risk of operating losses for the Housing Complexes and the
Partnership. In addition, each Local Limited Partnership is subject to risks
relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters which might be
uninsurable. Because the Partnership's operations will depend on these and other
factors beyond the control of the General Partner and the Local General
Partners, there can be no assurance that the anticipated low income housing
credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition, Limited Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the low income housing credit are complicated, and the use of credits can be
limited. The only material benefit from an investment in Units may be the low
income housing credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop. All management decisions will
be made by the General Partner.

Method of Accounting For Investments in Limited Partnerships

The Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment
balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnership's results of operations
and for any distributions received. The accounting policies of the Local Limited
Partnership are consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the

(A California Limited Partnership)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED

For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (Unaudited) and
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

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 partners' capital and amounted to $970,717 as of March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, and $975,333 as of December 30, 1997.

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 highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership had cash equivalents of $0, $0 and
$893,070, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 1999, the Partnership maintained a cash balance at a certain
financial institution in excess of the maximum federally insured amounts.

Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit

Net loss per limited partnership unit is calculated pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per unit
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period.
Calculation of diluted net income per unit is not required.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement establishes
standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that
all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as
components of comprehensive income be included in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive
income includes net income as well as certain items that are reported directly
within a separate component of Partners' equity and bypass net income. The
Partnership adopted the provisions of this statement in 1998. For the periods
presented, the Partnership has no elements of other comprehensive income, as
defined by SFAS No. 130.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans receivable represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain limited
partnerships in which the Partnership may invest. Loans receivable consisted of
one loan with a balance of $259,496 as of December 31, 1997 which was fully
collected in 1998 upon finalization of its acquisition of an interest in a new
limited partnership.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of the periods presented, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in twenty-two Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one
Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate of 892 apartment units. As of March
31, 1999, construction or rehabilitation of all but one of the apartment
complexes had been completed. 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 entitled to 96% to
99%, as specified in the partnership agreements, of the operating profits and
losses, taxable income and losses and tax credits of the Limited Partnerships.

The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships as shown in the
balance sheets at December 31, 1998 and 1997 are approximately $1,493,000 and
$1,555,000, respectively, greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the
Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements. This difference is primarily
due to unrecorded losses, as discussed below, acquisition, selection and other
costs related to the acquisition of the investments which have been capitalized
in the Partnership's investment account and to capital contributions payable to
the limited partnerships which were netted against partner capital in the Local
Limited Partnership's financial statements.

Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is recognized in the financial
statements until the related investment account is reduced to a zero balance.
Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not
recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years,
the Partnership will resume applying the equity method only after its share of
such net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the
period(s) the equity method was suspended.

Distributions received by limited partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance. Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are recognized as income. During the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
the year ended December 31, 1998, no investment accounts in Local Limited
Partnerships reached a zero balance.

Following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
limited partnerships for the periods presented:

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses
and have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partner 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.
