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, 2008, six months ended September 30, 2008 and nine months ended December 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2009.  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, 2008.

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 ("Local Limited Partnerships") which own multi-family housing complexes (“Housing Complexes”) that are eligible for Federal low income housing tax credits (“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. Each Local Limited Partnership is governed by its agreement of limited partnership (the “Local Limited Partnership Agreement”).

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”).  The chairman and the president of Associates own all of the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partner, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2050, 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 20,000 units of limited partnership interest (“Partnership Units”) at $1,000 per Partnership Unit.  The offering of Partnership Units has concluded, and 15,600 Partnership Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $15,241,000, net of volume discounts of $359,000, 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 Low Income Housing Tax Credits of the Partnership.  The investors (the “Limited Partners”) in the Partnership will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in proportion to their respective investments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Housing Complexes will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement.  Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the Partnership.  The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex.  Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership.  Should such distributions occur, the Limited Partners will be entitled to receive distributions from the proceeds remaining after payment of Partnership obligations and funding reserves, equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement).  The General Partner would then be entitled to receive proceeds equal to its capital contributions 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.

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 Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax 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 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 Tax 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 “Compliance Period”), the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of the Partnership’s investment in the Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or a 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 Tax Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Tax 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Substantially all of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits anticipated to be realized from the Local Limited Partnerships have been realized. The Partnership does not anticipate being allocated any Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Local Limited Partnerships in the future.

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 Tax 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 Partnership Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited Partners may be unable to sell their Partnership Units except at a discount and should consider their Partnership Units to be a long-term investment. Individual Limited Partners will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited Partners.

The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund its operations.  Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through November 30, 2012.

Anticipated future and existing cash resources of the Partnership are not sufficient to pay existing liabilities of the Partnership.  However, substantially all of the existing liabilities of the Partnership are payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates.  Though the amounts payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates are contractually currently payable, the Partnership anticipates that the General Partner and/or its affiliates will not require the payment of these contractual obligations until capital reserves are in excess of the aggregate of then existing contractual obligations and then anticipated future foreseeable obligations of the Partnership.  The Partnership would be adversely affected should the General Partner and/or its affiliates demand current payment of the existing contractual obligations and or suspend services for this or any other reason.

Exit Strategy

The Compliance Period for a Housing Complex is generally 15 years following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associates was one of the first in the industry to offer syndicated investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits.  The initial programs have completed their Compliance Periods.

Upon the sale of a Local Limited Partnership Interest or Housing Complex after the end of the Compliance Period, there would be no recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits.  A sale prior to the end of the Compliance Period could result in recapture if certain conditions are not met.  None of the Housing Complexes have completed their 15-year Compliance Period as of December 31, 2008.

With that in mind, the General Partner is continuing its review of the Housing Complexes. The review considers many factors, including extended use requirements (such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the Housing Complexes, and the tax consequences to the Limited Partners from the sale of the Housing Complexes.

Upon identifying those Housing Complexes with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or re-syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with efforts to liquidate them. The objective is to maximize the Limited Partners’ return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down the Partnership as Low Income Housing Tax Credits are no longer available. Local Limited Partnership interests may be disposed of any time by the General Partner in its discretion.  While liquidation of the Housing Complexes continues to be evaluated, the dissolution of the Partnership was not imminent as of December 31, 2008.

As of March 31, 2008, the Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership Interest in E. W.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

During the three months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership Interest in one Local Limited Partnership, Crossing II Limited Dividend Housing Association LP (“Crossings II”) to the respective Local Limited Partnership’s General Partner.  Crossings II started to experience operational issues during the year ended March 31, 2005 and continued to have operational issues.  The low occupancy was the primary reason for the cash flow issues.  The Partnership received all of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits from Crossings II.  The final credits were taken in 2007.  The General Partner posted the surety bond to protect the Partnership from recapture.  Crossings II was appraised with a value of $5,045,000 and the outstanding mortgage debt was $5,142,675 as of December 31, 2007. The Limited Partnership interest in Crossings II was sold on May 15, 2008.  Although the appraised value was less than the outstanding mortgage debt the Partnership received $2 for its Local Limited Partnership Interest which was recorded as a gain on the sale as the investment balance had reached zero in a prior period.

Subsequent to December 31, 2008 the Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership interest in five Local Limited Partnerships.

On March 18, 2009, Comanche Retirement Village, Ltd. ("Comanche") was sold.  Comanche was appraised with a value of $260,000 and the outstanding mortgage debt was $571,130 as of December 31, 2008.  The Housing Complex was 15 years old and the maintenance and administrative expenses associated with the aging Housing Complex are expected to increase.   The Compliance Period expired in 2009, therefore a surety bond was no longer required and the buyer indemnified against any potential tax credit recapture.   Although the appraised value was less than the outstanding mortgage debt the Partnership received $10,000 for its Local Limited Partnership Interest which was placed in reserves to pay for the future operating expenses of the Partnership.  The Partnership’s investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $10,000 will be recorded during the year ended March 31, 2009.

On September 30, 2010, Candleridge Apartment of Waukee L. P. II (“Candleridge”) was sold to the respective Local Limited Partnership's General Partner.  Candleridge was appraised at $589,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $644,685 as of December 31, 2010.  The Local Limited Partnership Interest was sold for $25,000 which was paid to the Partnership.  The Partnership had incurred $363 in expenses related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale.  The Partnership's investment balance was zero at the time of disposition; therefore a gain of $24,637 will be recorded in the respective period.  No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale. The Compliance Period has expired so there is no risk of tax credit recapture.
 
On June 30, 2011, Chadwick Limited Partners (“Chadwick”) was also sold to the respective Local Limited Partnership's General Partner.  Chadwick was appraised at $850,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $1,401,188 as of December 31, 2010.  The Local Limited Partnership Interest was sold for $78,261 which was paid to the Partnership.  The Partnership had incurred $3,628 in expenses related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale. The Partnership's investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $74,633 will be recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011. No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale. The Compliance Period has expired so there is no risk of tax credit recapture.

On October 26, 2011, Broken Bow Apartments I, L.P. (“Broken Bow”) was sold to an affiliate of the Local Limited Partnership for $26,189.  Broken Bow was appraised for $20,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $67,322 as of September 30, 2011.  The Partnership incurred $3,000 in appraisal expenses and approximately $5,000 in legal fees related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale.  The Partnership’s investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $18,189 will be recorded during the respective period.  In addition, the replacement reserves held by the bank were released.  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership received the reserve proceeds in the amount of $2,390 which will be recorded as an additional gain on sale during the respective period.   No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale.  Broken Bow will complete its Compliance Period in 2012; therefore there is a risk of tax credit recapture.  The last year in which Low Income Housing Tax Credits was generated by this Local Limited Partnership was 2007.   The executed Purchase Agreement states that Broken Bow must remain in compliance with Section 42 of the IRS code. Until the completion of the Compliance Period, the purchaser must furnish the Partnership with certain reports proving that the Housing Complex is still in compliance with the IRS code.

On October 26, 2011, Sidney Apartment I, L.P. (“Sidney”) was sold to an affiliate of the Local Limited Partnership for $26,189.  Sidney was appraised for $200,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $251,667 as of September 30, 2011.  The Partnership incurred $3,000 in appraisal expenses and approximately $5,000 in legal fees related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale.  The Partnership’s investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $18,189 will be recorded during the respective period.  In addition, the replacement reserves held by the bank were released.  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership received the reserve proceeds in the amount of $725 which will be recorded as an additional gain on sale during the respective period.  No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale.  Sidney will complete its Compliance Period in 2011; therefore there is a risk of tax credit recapture.  The last year in which Low Income Housing Tax Credits was generated by this Local Limited Partnership was 2006.   The executed Purchase Agreement states that Sidney must remain in compliance with Section 42 of the IRS code. Until the completion of the Compliance Period, the purchaser must furnish the Partnership with certain reports proving that the Housing Complex is still in compliance with the IRS code.
 
Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local 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 at least annually or 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 Tax 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 Partnership reduces the carrying value of its investment in any such Local Limited Partnership.  The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships, generally, are expected to be consistent with those of the Partnership.  Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments were capitalized as part of the investment and are being amortized over 30 years (see Note 2).

“Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships” for each of the periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, September 30, 2008 and 2007 and December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively has been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three, six and nine-month periods is based on actual audited results reported by the Local Limited Partnerships.  Equity in losses from the Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below zero.  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 (see Note 2).

In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Partnership determines when it 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. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors. 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 has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Based on this guidance, the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities. The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these Local Limited Partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Partnership's balance in investment in Local Limited Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership's exposure to loss on these Local Limited Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the Local General Partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors in the Partnership.

Distributions received by the Partnership are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance.  Distributions received after the investment has reached zero are recognized as distribution income. As of June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, all but one of the investment accounts in Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance.

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.  For all periods presented there were no cash equivalents.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income for all periods presented.

Income Taxes

The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns.  The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Net Loss Per Partnership Unit

Net loss per Partnership Unit includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to Limited Partners by the weighted average number of Partnership Units outstanding during the period.  Calculation of diluted net loss per Partnership Unit is not required.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership is entitled to receive reporting fees from the Local Limited Partnerships.  The intent of the reporting fees is to offset (in part) administrative costs incurred by the Partnership in corresponding with the Local Limited Partnerships.  Due to the uncertainty of the collection of these fees, the Partnership recognizes reporting fees as collections are made.

Amortization

Acquisition fees and costs were being amortized over 30 years using the straight-line method. Amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $3,087 and $1,280, respectively.  For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense was $3,087 and $2,560, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense was $3,087 and $3,840, respectively.

Impairment

The Partnership reviews its investments in Local Limited Partnerships for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such investments may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the investment to the sum of the total amount of the remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and any estimated residual value of the investment.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the impairment loss related to investments in Local Limited Partnerships was $514,879 and $113,285, respectively.  For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 the impairment loss related to investments in Local Limited Partnerships was $514,879 and $113,285, respectively and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, impairment loss related to investments in Local Limited Partnerships was $514,879 and $113,285, respectively.

The Partnership also evaluates its intangibles for impairment in connection with its investments in Local Limited Partnerships. Impairment on the intangibles is measured by comparing the Partnership’s total investment balance after impairment of investments in Local Limited Partnerships to the sum of the total of the remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and any estimated residual value of the investments.  For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the impairment loss was $206,878 and $0, respectively.  For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 the impairment loss was $206,878 and $0, respectively and for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, impairment loss was $206,878 and $0, respectively.

Certain Local Limited Partnerships incurred 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 Low Income Housing Tax Credits could occur.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of the partnership agreement, the Partnership has paid or is obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for the following fees:

(a)  
Acquisition fees of 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Partnership Units as compensation for services rendered in connection with the acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships.  As of all periods presented, the Partnership incurred cumulative acquisition fees of $1,058,950 which have been included in investments in Local Limited Partnerships.  Accumulated amortization of these capitalized costs was $0, $0, $0 and $848,985 as of June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. Impairment on the intangibles is measured by comparing the Partnership’s total investment balance after impairment of investments in Local Limited Partnerships to the sum of the total of remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and the estimated residual value of the investments. If an impairment loss related to the acquisition expenses is recorded, the accumulated amortization is reduced to zero at that time.

(b)  
Acquisition costs of 1.2% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Partnership Units as reimbursement of costs incurred by of the General Partner or by an affiliate of Associates in connection with the acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships.  As of all periods presented, the Partnership incurred cumulative acquisition costs of $169,103, which have been included in investments in Local Limited Partnerships. The costs were fully amortized for all periods presented.
 
(c)  
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.  In either case, the fee will be decreased or increased annually based on changes to the Consumer Price Index.  However, in no event will the maximum amount exceed 0.2% of the Invested Assets of the Partnership, as defined.  “Invested Assets” means the sum of the Partnership’s investment in Local Limited Partnership interests and the Partnership’s allocable share of mortgage loans on and other debt related to the Housing Complexes owned by such Local Limited Partnerships. Asset management fees of $10,725 and $11,000 were incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership incurred asset management fees of $21,450 and $22,000, respectively. Asset management fees of $32,175 and $33,000 were incurred during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Partnership paid the General Partner or its affiliates $0 of those fees during each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, each of the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and each of the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
(d)   
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 December 31, 2003 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.
 
(e)   
The Partnership reimburses the General Partner or its affiliates for operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership. Operating expense reimbursements were $0 during each of the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, $10,000 and $0 during the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $10,000 and $0 during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The General Partner and/or its affiliates do not anticipate that these accrued fees will be paid in full until such time as capital reserves are in excess of future foreseeable working capital requirements of the Partnership.

NOTE 4 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

During the nine months ended December 31, 2008, the Partnership was relieved of debt owed to the General Partner totaling $156,874. In previous years the Partnership’s expenses were paid by the General Partner or affiliates on its behalf.  The advances were deemed to be uncollectible by the General Partner, and as such, the debt was forgiven. The cancellation of debt was recorded by the Partnership as a capital contribution from the General Partner to the Partnership and as such it is reflected in the statement of partners’ equity (deficit) in the Partnership’s financial statements.

NOTE 5 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to December 31, 2008 the Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership interest in five Local Limited Partnerships.

On March 18, 2009, Comanche Retirement Village, Ltd. ("Comanche") was sold.  Comanche was appraised with a value of $260,000 and the outstanding mortgage debt was $571,130 as of December 31, 2008.  The Housing Complex was 15 years old and the maintenance and administrative expenses associated with the aging Housing Complex are expected to increase.   The Compliance Period expired in 2009, therefore a surety bond was no longer required and the buyer indemnified against any potential tax credit recapture.   Although the appraised value was less than the outstanding mortgage debt the Partnership received $10,000 for its Local Limited Partnership Interest which was placed in reserves to pay for the future operating expenses of the Partnership.

On September 30, 2010, Candleridge Apartment of Waukee L. P. II (“Candleridge”) was sold to the respective Local Limited Partnership's General Partner.  Candleridge was appraised at $589,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $644,685 as of December 31, 2010.  The Local Limited Partnership Interest was sold for $25,000 which was paid to the Partnership.  The Partnership had incurred $363 in expenses related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale.  The Partnership's investment balance was zero at the time of disposition; therefore a gain of $24,637 will be recorded in the respective period.  No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale. The Compliance Period has expired so there is no risk of tax credit recapture.

On June 30, 2011, Chadwick Limited Partners (“Chadwick”) was also sold to the respective Local Limited Partnership's General Partner.  Chadwick was appraised at $850,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $1,401,188 as of December 31, 2010.  The Local Limited Partnership Interest was sold for $78,261 which was paid to the Partnership.  The Partnership had incurred $3,628 in expenses related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale. The Partnership's investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $74,633 will be recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2011. No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale. The Compliance Period has expired so there is no risk of tax credit recapture.

On October 26, 2011, Broken Bow Apartments I, L.P. (“Broken Bow”) was sold to an affiliate of the Local Limited Partnership for $26,189.  Broken Bow was appraised for $20,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $67,322 as of September 30, 2011.  The Partnership incurred $3,000 in appraisal expenses and approximately $5,000 in legal fees related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale.  The Partnership’s investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $18,189 will be recorded during the respective period.  In addition, the replacement reserves held by the bank were released.  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership received the reserve proceeds in the amount of $2,390 which will be recorded as an additional gain on sale during the respective period.   No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale.  Broken Bow will complete its Compliance Period in 2012; therefore there is a risk of tax credit recapture.  The last year in which Low Income Housing Tax Credits was generated by this Local Limited Partnership was 2007.   The executed Purchase Agreement states that Broken Bow must remain in compliance with Section 42 of the IRS code. Until the completion of the Compliance Period, the purchaser must furnish the Partnership with certain reports proving that the Housing Complex is still in compliance with the IRS code.

(“Sidney”) was sold to an affiliate of the Local Limited Partnership for $26,189.  Sidney was appraised for $200,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $251,667 as of September 30, 2011.  The Partnership incurred $3,000 in appraisal expenses and approximately $5,000 in legal fees related to the disposition which will be netted against the proceeds from the sale in calculating the gain on the sale.  The Partnership’s investment balance was zero at the time of sale; therefore a gain of $18,189 will be recorded during the respective period.  In addition, the replacement reserves held by the bank were released.  In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership received the reserve proceeds in the amount of $725 which will be recorded as an additional gain on sale during the respective period.  No cash distribution will be made to the Limited Partners as a result of this sale.  Sidney will complete its Compliance Period in 2011; therefore there is a risk of tax credit recapture.  The last year in which Low Income Housing Tax Credits was generated by this Local Limited Partnership was 2006.   The executed Purchase Agreement states that Sidney must remain in compliance with Section 42 of the IRS code. Until the completion of the Compliance Period, the purchaser must furnish the Partnership with certain reports proving that the Housing Complex is still in compliance with the IRS code.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2007  Net cash used during the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $(1,000) compared to net cash provided during the six months ended September 30, 2007 of $9,000.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Partnership paid $(10,000) in operating expense reimbursements to the General Partner or an affiliate compared to no reimbursements being paid during the six months ended September 30, 2007.  Each quarter the Partnership evaluates the cash position and determines how much of the operating expense reimbursements will be paid to the General Partner or affiliate. The reporting fees decreased by $(2,000) and the distribution income increased by $11,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended September 30, 2007. Local Limited Partnerships pay the reporting fees and distribution income to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flow will allow for the payment.

Nine Months Ended December 31, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2007  Net cash used during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was $(7,000) compared to net cash provided during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 of $8,000.  The Partnership reimbursed $(10,000) of operating advances to the General Partner or an affiliate during the nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared to no reimbursements made during the nine months ended December 31, 2007. Each quarter the Partnership evaluates the cash position and determines how much of the operating expense reimbursements will be paid to the General Partner or affiliate. The reporting fees decreased by $(5,000) and the distribution income increased by $14,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007. Local Limited Partnerships pay the reporting fees and distribution income to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flow will allow for the payment.

During the three, six and nine months ended June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008, accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party asset management fees and advances due to the General Partner or affiliates, increased (decreased) by $22,000, $23,000 and $(122,000), respectively, as compared to March 31, 2008. The General Partner does not anticipate that these accrued fees and advances will be paid until such time as capital reserves are in excess of foreseeable working capital requirements of the Partnership.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available assets as of December 31, 2008, to be insufficient to meet all currently foreseeable future cash requirements. Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through November 30, 2012.

Recent Accounting Changes

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions. In February 2008, the FASB delayed for one year implementation of the guidance as it pertains to certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership adopted U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for Fair Value Measurements effective April 1, 2008, except as it applies to those non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective date was April 1, 2009. The Partnership has determined that adoption of this guidance has no material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

In November 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations that addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted the guidance for the interim quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. The impact of adopting it does not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance for Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. It became effective for as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and has no impact on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which was subsequently updated in February 2010. This guidance established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was therefore adopted by the Partnership for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption will not have a significant impact on the subsequent events that the Partnership reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in the financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, alleviating conflicts with SEC guidance. This amendment was effective immediately and therefore the Partnership did not include the disclosure in this Form 10-Q.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs).  The amended guidance modified the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaced quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE.  Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs.  This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009.  The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2010 is not expected to have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing GAAP. Accordingly, all references to currently existing GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Partnership’s accounting policies. The adoption of the Codification will not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

NOT APPLICABLE

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)           Disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the periods covered by this report, the Partnership’s General Partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Associates, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the periods covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, consistent with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Partnership must rely on the Local Limited Partnerships to provide the Partnership with certain information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. Factors in the accounting at the Local Limited Partnerships have caused delays in the provision of such information during past reporting periods, and resulted in the Partnership’s inability to file its periodic reports in a timely manner.

Once the Partnership has received the necessary information from the Local Limited Partnerships, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Associates believe that the material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported, albeit not in a timely manner. Going forward, the Partnership will use the means reasonably within its power to impose procedures designed to obtain from the Local Limited Partnerships the information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports.

(b)           Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarters ended June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
