NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND 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 and six
months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003. 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,
2002.
Organization
- ------------
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 8 (the "Partnership") was formed
under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on September 16, 1997 and
commenced operations on November 17, 2000, the effective date of its public
offering pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the
Partnership's Pre-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Form S-11 initially filed on July
16, 1999. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited
partnerships or limited liability companies which will own and operate
multifamily housing complexes that are eligible for low-income housing federal
and, in certain cases, California income tax credits ("Low-income Housing
Credit").
The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2060
unless terminated prior to that date, pursuant to the partnership agreement or
law.
The general partner is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") (the "General Partner"), a
California limited partnership. The chairman and president own substantially all
of the outstanding stock of WNC. The business of the Partnership is conducted
primarily through WNC, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.
The partnership agreement authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). As of September 30, 2002, 9,814 Units, representing
subscriptions in the amount of $9,807,585, net of dealer discounts of $6,370 and
volume discounts of $45, had been accepted. The General Partner has 0.1%
interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, cash
available for distribution from the Partnership and tax credits of the
Partnership. The limited partners will be allocated the remaining 99.9% 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 a subordinated disposition fee 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.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND 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 intends to account for its investments in limited partnerships
using the equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership will adjust its
investment balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnership's results of
operations and for any distributions received. The accounting policies of the
Local Limited Partnerships are expected to be consistent with those of the
Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments will
be capitalized as part of the investment and amortized over 30 years (Note 3).
Offering Expenses
- -----------------
Offering expenses consist of underwriting commissions, legal fees, printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in connection with selling
limited partnership interests in the Partnership. The General Partner is
obligated to pay all offering and organization costs in excess of 4% (excluding
sales commissions) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are
reflected as a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $1,269,405
as of September 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of
September 30, 2002, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
At September 30, 2002, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.
Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit
- -----------------------------------
Net income per limited partner unit is calculated pursuant to Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net income per unit
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income 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
- ------------------------------
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 the periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2001, and generally, is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 144
is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial
position or results of operations.
In September 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses accounting
and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and
nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for
Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity
(Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires
that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized and measured initially at fair value when the liability is incurred.
SFAS No. 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated
after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. SFAS 146 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or
results of operations.
Reclassification.
- -----------------
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform to the
presentation for the six months ended September 30, 2002.

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
- -------------------------
Loans receivable represent amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain Local
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership may invest. These loans are
generally applied against the first capital contribution due if the Partnership
ultimately invests in such entities. In the event that the Partnership does not
invest in such entities, the loans are to be repaid with interest at a rate
which is equal to the rate charged to the holder. At March 31, 2002, loan
receivable of $100,000 was due from one Local Limited Partnership which has been
paid in full.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------
As of September 30, 2002, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership
interests in six Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing
Complex consisting of an aggregate of 215 apartment units. As of September 30,
2002, construction or rehabilitation of four of the Housing Complexes was still
in process. 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 99.98%, 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.
Equity in losses of the 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. As of September 30, 2002, no investment accounts
in Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance.
The following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
local limited partnerships as of:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and other discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-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 Financial Statements and the Notes thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.
The following discussion and analysis discusses the results of operations for
the six months ended September 30, 2002, 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 September 30, 2002 consisted primarily of $841,000
in cash and aggregate investments in the six Local Limited Partnerships of
$8,047,000. Liabilities at September 30, 2002 primarily consisted of $365,000 of
notes payable to limited partnerships and $17,000 in accrued expenses and
management fees due to the General Partner or affiliates.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended September
30, 2001. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was $(129,000) reflecting an increase of $(112,000) from the net loss of
$(17,000) experienced for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The
increase in net loss is primarily due to an increase of equity in losses from
limited partnerships by an approximate $(98,000) from $(16,000) for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 to $(114,000) for the three months ended
September 30, 2002. Along with equity in losses from limited partnerships, loss
from operating activities increased by $(14,000) from $(1,000) for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 to $(15,000) for the three months ended
September 30, 2002. The increase in loss from operating activities is due to a
decrease in interest income of $16,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2002, offset by a decrease in operating expenses of $2,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2002.
Six Months Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30,
2001. The Partnership's net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2002 was
$(128,000) reflecting an increase of $(116,000) from the net loss of $(12,000)
experienced for the six months ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net
loss is primarily due to an increase of equity in losses from limited
partnerships by an approximate $(81,000) from $(17,000) for the six months ended
September 30, 2001 to $(98,000) for the six months ended September 30, 2002.
Along with equity in losses from limited partnerships, income (loss) from
operations increased by $(35,000) from $5,000 income for the six months ended
September 30, 2001 to $(30,000) loss for the six months ended September 30,
2002. The change in income/(loss) from operations is due to a decrease in
interest income of $23,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2002 and an
increase in operating expenses of $12,000 due to an increase in amortization
expense of $8,000 and an increase in asset management fees of $12,000, which
were offset by decrease in legal and accounting fees of $7,000 and a decrease in
other expenses of $1,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2002.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Cash Flows
Year Ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Year Ended September 30, 2001. Net
decrease in cash during the six months ended September 30, 2002 was $(287,000),
compared to a net increase in cash for the six months ended September 30, 2001
of $1,280,000 reflecting a change of $(1,567,000). The change in net cash used
is due primarily to $5,945,000 decrease in net cash provided by financing
activities due to the completion of syndication process. The decrease in cash
provided by financing activities was offset by the decrease of $4,394,000 of
cash used in investing activities, due to the decrease in capital contributions
to Local Limited Partnerships, and was offset by a change in cash used and
provided by operating activities of $(16,000) to approximately $(8,000) used
during the six months ended September 30, 2002 compared to $8,000 provided for
the six months September 30, 2001.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at September 30, 2002, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
