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 and nine
months ended December 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005. 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 VI, L.P., Series 9, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on July 17, 2001 under the laws of the state of
California, and commenced operations on August 3, 2001, the effective date of
its public offering pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's
approval of the Partnership's Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-11
initially filed on August 16, 2001. Prior to August 3, 2001, the Partnership was
considered a development-stage enterprise. The Partnership was formed to invest
primarily in other limited partnerships and limited liability companies (the
"Local Limited Partnerships") which own and operate multi-family housing
complexes (the "Housing Complex") that are eligible for low income housing tax
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 & 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 and General Partner have no employees
of their own.
The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2062,
unless terminated prior to that date, pursuant to the partnership agreement or
law.
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 up to 25,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). As of March 31, 2004, 15,323 Units, representing
subscriptions in the amount of $15,316,125, net of dealer discounts of $7,350
and volume discounts of $1,525, had been accepted. The General Partner has a
0.1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, in
cash available for distribution from the Partnership and tax credits. The
limited partners will be allocated the remaining 99.9% interest 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 (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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
- --------------------------------------------------------------
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 price which would result in the Partnership realizing cash
distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, the Partnership may
be unable to distribute any cash to its Limited Partners. 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
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 Limited Partners 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.
No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited
Partners 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.

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, the Partnership is continuing to review the Partnership's
holdings, with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those
that have satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. The Partnership's 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 Limited Partners from
the sale of the property.
Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful
sale, refinancing or syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with
efforts to liquidate those properties. The Partnership's objective is to
maximize the Limited Partners' return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind
down those funds that no longer provide tax benefits to Limited Partners. To
date no properties in the Partnership have been selected.
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 the estimated value derived by
management, generally consisting of the sum of the remaining future Low-Income
Housing Credits estimated to be allocable to the Partnership and the estimated
residual value to the Partnership. 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 Partnership's 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 (Notes 2 and 3).
Equity in losses of limited partnerships for the periods presented is based on
nine months of results estimated by management of the Partnership. Management's
estimate for the nine-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 Local
Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership will not be 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.
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 13% (excluding
sales commissions and the dealer manager fee) of the total offering proceeds.
Offering expenses are reflected as a reduction of partners' capital and amounted
to $1,983,375 as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004.
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.

NOTE 1 - 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 original maturities
of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December
31, 2004, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
- ----------------------------
At December 31, 2004, 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 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 concluded that the adoption of
the Interpretation does 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 has acquired limited partnership
interests in thirteen Local Limited Partnerships each of which owns one Housing
Complex except for one that owns three Housing Complexes. Collectively, the
Housing Complexes consist of an aggregate of 506 apartment units. The respective
Local 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.
The following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in
Local Limited Partnerships for the periods presented below:

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

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

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

included elsewhere in this filing.
The following discussion and analysis discusses the results of operations for
the three and nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2004 consisted primarily of $696,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the thirteen Local Limited Partnerships of
$11,221,000. Liabilities at December 31, 2004 primarily consisted of $492,000 of
notes payable to limited partnerships and $266,000 in accrued expenses and
management fees due to the General Partner or affiliates.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to the Three Months Ended December
31, 2003. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended December 31,
2004 was $(238,000), reflecting a decrease of approximately $114,000 from the
net loss of $(352,000) experienced for the three months ended December 31, 2003.
The decrease in net loss is primarily due to a decrease of equity in losses from
limited partnerships of $110,000 due to losses of $(295,000) for the three
months ended December 31, 2003 compared to losses of $(185,000) for the three
months ended December 31, 2004. During 2004, properties were stabilizing as such
losses decreased compared to 2003. Along with the decrease of equity in losses
from limited partnerships, the loss from operations decreased by $4,000 due to a
decrease of $6,000 for other operating expenses offset by an increase of
$(2,000) for legal and accounting expenses.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31,
2003. The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was
$(709,000), reflecting a decrease of $167,000 from the net loss of $(876,000)
experienced for the nine months ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in net
loss is primarily due to a decrease of equity in losses from limited
partnerships of $163,000 due to losses of $(717,000) for the nine months ended
December 31, 2003 compared to losses of $(554,000) for the nine months ended
December 31, 2004. During 2004, properties were stabilizing as such losses
decreased compared to 2003. Along with the decrease of equity in losses from
limited partnerships, the loss from operations decreased by $4,000 for the nine
months ended December 31, 2004 compared to the nine months ended December 31,
2003. The decrease was due to a $11,000 decrease in other operating expenses, a
$5,000 decrease in legal and accounting expenses offset by an increase of
$(11,000) for asset management fees and $(1,000) increase in amortization.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations, continued
Cash Flows
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31,
2003. Net decrease in cash during the nine months ended December 31, 2004 was
$(1,014,000), compared to a net decrease in cash for the nine months ended
December 31, 2003 of $(2,811,000) resulting in a net change of $1,797,000. The
change in net cash is due to a decrease of cash used in investing activities of
$2,168,000 primarily due to a decrease of payments on notes payable to limited
partnerships of $2,055,000, a decrease of $110,000 for payments of acquisition
fees and costs along with a $3,000 increase of distributions from limited
partnerships. There was also a decrease in cash provided by financing activities
of $(386,000) primarily due to the completion of the syndication process. There
was also a decrease of $15,000 in cash used in operating activities largely due
to the $12,000 increase in accrued fees and expenses due to the General Partner
and affiliates.
