NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months
ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004. 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,
2004.
Organization
- ------------
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on May 4, 1993 under the laws of the state of
California, and commenced operations on October 20, 1993. The Partnership was
formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships (the "Local Limited
Partnerships") which own and operate multi-family housing complexes (the
"Housing Complex") that 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 of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credit Partners IV, L.P. ("TCP
IV"). The general partner of TCP IV is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates").
The chairman and president own substantially all of the outstanding stock of
Associates. The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through
Associates as neither TCP IV nor the Partnership have employees of their own.
The Partnership Agreement authorized the sale of up to 10,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). The offering of Units concluded in July 1994 at which time
10,000 Units in the amount of $10,000,000 had been accepted. The General Partner
has 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, cash
available for distribution from the Partnership and tax credits. The limited
partners will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in proportion to
their respective investments.
After the limited partners have received proceeds from sale or refinancing equal
to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the
Partnership Agreement) and the General Partner has received proceeds equal to
its capital contribution and subordinated disposition fee (as described in Note
3) from the remainder, any additional sale or refinancing proceeds will be
distributed 90% to the limited partners (in proportion to their respective
investments) and 10% to the General Partner.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Certain Risks and Uncertainties
- -------------------------------
An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local
Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These
risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the
amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any,
on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the
following:
The Low-Income Housing Credit rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance
with these rules results in the loss of future Low-Income Housing Credit s and
the fractional recapture of Low-Income Housing Credits already taken. In most
cases the annual amount of Low-Income Housing Credits that an individual can use
is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last $25,000 of taxable
income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing
Complexes at a profit. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute
any cash to its investors. Low-Income Housing Credits may be the only benefit
from an investment in the Partnership.
The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships.
Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single
Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited
diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the
Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex
is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to
pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If
foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining
future Low-Income Housing Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low-Income
Housing Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing
Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or non-managing member
of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very
limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the
Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited
Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes, are readily marketable. To the
extent the Housing Complexes receive government financing or operating
subsidies, they may be subject to one or more of the following risks:
difficulties in obtaining tenants for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in
obtaining rent increases; limitations on cash distributions; limitations on
sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes; limitations on transfers of interests
in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners;
limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations.
Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low-Income Housing
Credits and recapture of Low-Income Housing Credits previously taken. The value
of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions,
including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning
policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions,
among others.
The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is
limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and
challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low-Income Housing
Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors could be reduced if the IRS
were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce
tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could
also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the
value of the Housing Complexes.
Substantially all of the Low Income Housing Credits anticipated to be realized
from the Local Limited Partnerships have been realized. The Partnership does not
anticipate being allocated a significant amount of Low Income Housing Credits
from the Local Limited Partnerships in the future. Until the Local Limited
Partnerships have completed the 15 year Low Income Housing Credit compliance
period risks exist for potential recapture of prior low Income Housing Credits.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Investors may
be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should consider their
Units to be a long-term investment. Individual investors will have no recourse
if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited
Partners.
Anticipated future and existing cash resources of the Partnership are not
sufficient to meet existing contractual cash obligations. Substantially all of
the future contractual cash obligations of the Partnership are payable to the
General Partner. Though a substantial portion of the amounts contractually
obligated to the General Partner are contractually currently payable, the
Partnership anticipates that the General Partner will not acquire the payment of
these contractual obligations until capital reserves are in excess of the future
foreseeable working capital requirements of the Partnership. However, the
Partnership is contractually required to pay these obligations to the General
Partner and/or its affiliates on a current basis. The Partnership would be
adversely affected should the General Partner and /or its affiliates demand
current payment of these contractual obligations and/or suspend services for
this or any other reason.
Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships
- ------------------------------------------------------------
The Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment
balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnerships' results of operations
and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership
reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a Local Limited
Partnership for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of such investment is measured by a comparison of the carrying
amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If an
investment is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds
fair value. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships are
generally consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the
Partnership in acquiring the investments are capitalized as part of the
investment account and are being amortized over 30 years (see Note 2).
Equity in losses of limited partnerships for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and
2003 have been recorded by the Partnership based on three months of reported
results estimated by management of the Partnership. Management's estimate for
the three-month period is based on either actual unaudited results reported by
the Local Limited Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the
Local Limited Partnerships. Equity in losses from the Limited Partnerships
allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that the
investment balance would be adjusted below zero. As soon as the investment
balance reaches zero, amortization of the related costs of acquiring the
investment are accelerated to the extent of losses available (see Note 2). If
the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years, the
Partnership will resume applying the equity method only after its share of such
net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period(s)
the equity method was suspend.
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 limited partners' capital and amounted to $1,356,705 at the end
of all periods presented.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
Exit Strategy
- -------------
The IRS compliance period for low-income housing tax credit properties is
generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation
completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using
the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance
period.
With that in mind, we are continuing our review of the Partnership's holdings,
with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those that have
satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. Our review will consider many factors
including extended use requirements on the property (such as those due to
mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the
property, and the tax consequences to the investors from the sale of the
property.
Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, we expect to proceed with efforts to liquidate
those properties. Our objective is to maximize the investors' return wherever
possible and, ultimately, to wind down those funds that no longer provide tax
benefits to investors. To date no properties in the Partnership have been
selected.
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 original maturities
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Partnership
had no cash equivalents as of June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2004.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
At June 30, 2004, 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 partner 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
- ------------------------------
The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting
Comprehensive Income established standards for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose
financial statements. The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income
for all periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

- --------------------------------------------------------------
New Accounting Pronouncements
- -----------------------------
In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN46"), "Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 provides guidance on when a company
should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest
entity ("VIE") in its financial statements and when it should disclose
information about its relationship with a VIE. A VIE is a legal structure used
to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if
it is the primary beneficiary because it absorbs the majority of the entity's
expected losses, the majority of the expected returns, or both.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of FIN 46 ("FIN 46R") to clarify
some of its provisions. The revision results in multiple effective dates based
on the nature as well as the creation date of the VIE. VIEs created after
January 31, 2003, but prior to January 1, 2004, may be accounted for either
based on the original interpretations or the revised interpretations. However,
all VIEs must be accounted for under the revised interpretations as of March 31,
2004, when FIN 46R is effective for the Partnership.
This Interpretation would require consolidation by the Partnership of certain
Local Limited Partnerships' assets and liabilities and results of operations if
the Partnership determined that the Local Limited Partnership was a VIE and that
the Partnership was the "Primary Beneficiary." Minority interests may be
recorded for the Local Limited Partnerships' ownership share attributable to
other Limited Partners. Where consolidation of Local Limited Partnerships is not
required, additional financial information disclosures of Local Limited
Partnerships may be required. The Partnership has assessed the potential
consolidation effects of the Interpretation and preliminarily concluded that the
adoption of the Interpretation will not have a material impact on the financial
statements of the Partnerships.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- --------------------------------------------
As of the periods presented, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership
interests in twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one
housing complex, consisting of an aggregate of 812 apartment units. The
respective general partners of the Local Limited Partnerships manage the day to
day operations of the entities. Significant Local Limited Partnership business
decisions require approval from the Partnership. The Partnership, as a limited
partner, is generally entitled to 99%, as specified in the Local Limited
Partnership agreements, of the operating profits and losses, taxable income and
losses and tax credits of the Local Limited Partnerships.
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.

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses
and/or have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partners may be
required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If
additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the
Partnership's investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be
impaired, and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement the Partnership is obligated to the
General Partner or its affiliates for the following items:
(a) Annual Asset Management Fee. An annual asset management fee equal to the
greater amount of (i) $2,000 for each apartment complex, or (ii) 0.275% of
gross proceeds. The base fee amount will be adjusted annually based on
changes to the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the annual
asset management fee exceed 0.2% of the invested assets of the Local
Limited Partnerships, including the Partnership's allocable share of the
mortgages. Asset management fees of $10,500 were incurred for each of the
three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The Partnership paid $7,500 of
those asset management fees for each of the three months ended June 30,
2004 and 2003 respectively.
(b) Subordinated Disposition Fee. 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 preferred return of 16%
through June 30, 2004 and 6% thereafter (as defined in the Partnership
Agreement) and is payable only if the General Partner or its affiliates
render services in the sales effort.
(c) The Partnership reimburses the General Partner or its affiliates for
operating expenses incurred in behalf of the Partnership. Operating expense
reimbursements are approximately $5,140 and $0 during the three months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
The accrued fees and advances due to General Partner and affiliates consisted of
the following:

====================== ====================
NOTE 4 - PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
- ---------------------------------------
Payables to limited partnerships represent amounts, which are due at various
times based on conditions specified in the limited partnership agreement. These
contributions are payable in installments and are due upon the limited
partnership achieving certain operating and development benchmarks (generally
within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).
NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
- ---------------------
No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements as
any liability and/or benefits for income taxes flows to the partners of the
Partnership and is their obligation and/or benefit. For income tax purposes the
Partnership reports on a calendar year basis.

Forward-Looking Statements
With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and other discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-Q contain
forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations
subject to uncertainties and other factors, which may involve known and unknown
risks that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from
those, projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are
based upon assumptions about future events, which may not prove to be accurate.
Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, our future cash flows and ability to obtain sufficient
financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the low-income housing tax
credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings.
Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
any future period.
Subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or
persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by
cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in
conjunction with the condensed unaudited Financial Statements and the Notes
thereto included elsewhere in this filing.
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and should be read in conjunction
with the condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included within
this report.
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at June 30, 2004 consisted primarily of $214,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships of
$1,372,000. Liabilities at June 30, 2004 consisted primarily of $160,000 in
accrued asset management fees and expenses payable to the General Partner.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three Months June 30, 2003. The
Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $(33,000),
reflecting a decrease of $35,000 from the net loss experienced for the three
months ended June 30, 2003 of $(68,000). The decrease in net loss is primarily
due to equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships which decreased by $30,000
to $(18,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from $(48,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited
Partnerships is due to the Partnership not recognizing certain losses of the
Local Limited Partnerships. The investments in such Local Limited Partnerships
had reached $0 at June 30, 2004. Since the Partnership's liability with respect
to its investments is limited, losses in excess of investment are not
recognized. Along with the decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited
Partnerships, loss from operations decreased by approximately $6,000 to
$(14,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2004 from $(20,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 2003, which was contributed by a $3,000 decrease in legal
and accounting along with a $3,000 decrease in amortization for the three months
ended June 30, 2004.
Cash Flows
Three months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three months Ended June 30, 2003.
Net cash used during the three months ended June 30, 2004 was $(8,000) compared
to net cash provided by the three months ended June 30, 2003 of $7,000. The
$(15,000) increase in cash used was primarily due to a decrease in cash provided
by investing activities of approximately $(8,000) in distributions, and an
increase in cash used in operating activities of $(7,000) for the three months
ended June 30, 2004.
During the three months ended June 30, 2004, accrued payables, which consist
primarily of related party management fees and advances due to the General
Partner, increased by approximately $1,000.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at June 30, 2004, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
