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 fifteen-year compliance period (the
"Compliance Period").

3


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 the general
partners of the respective Local Limited Partnerships ("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.

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.

4


The Apartment Complexes owned by the Local Limited Partnerships in which the
Partnership has invested or is expected to invest were or are being developed by
the Local General Partners who acquired the sites and applied for applicable
mortgages and subsidies. The Partnership became or will become 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 the Local Limited Partnership is
limited to its investment. The Local General Partner of the Local Limited
Partnership retains responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining,
operating and managing the Apartment Complex.

As of December 31, 1997, the Partnership had invested in twenty one 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 twenty one 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. See the discussion under "The Low Income Housing Credit" in
the Prospectus.

(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
and interest payable monthly based on a 30-year amortization schedule.

(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


(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
