PART 1.

Item 1.  Business

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 5 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under  the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act on March 3,  1997 and
commenced  operations on August 29, 1997. The  Partnership  was formed to invest
primarily in other limited  partnerships  or limited  liability  companies which
will  own and  operate  multifamily  housing  complexes  that are  eligible  for
low-income housing federal and, in certain cases,  California income tax credits
("Low Income Housing Credit").

The general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates,  Inc.  ("Associates"
or the "General  Partner".) Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable
Trust,  owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of Associates.  John B. Lester,  Jr.
was the original limited partner of the Partnership and owns, through the Lester
Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of Associates.  The business of the
Partnership is conducted primarily through Associates, as the Partnership has no
employees of its own.

Pursuant to a  registration  statement  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission  on June 23, 1997,  the  Partnership  commenced a public  offering of
25,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units"), at a price of $1,000 per
Unit. As of the close of the public  offering on July 9, 1998,  the  Partnership
had  received  and  accepted  subscriptions  for  25,000  Units in the amount of
$24,918,175 net of volume and dealer discounts of $81,825.  Holders of Units are
referred to herein as "Limited Partners."

Description of Business

The  Partnership's  principal  business  objective  is to  provide  its  Limited
Partners with Low Income Housing Credits.  The Partnership's  principal business
therefore  consists of investing as a limited partner or non-managing  member in
Local  Limited  Partnerships  each of which will own and operate a  multi-family
housing  complex (the "Housing  Complex")  which will qualify for the Low Income
Housing Credit.  In general,  under Section 42 of the Internal  Revenue Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
to reduce  Federal  taxes  otherwise due in each year of a ten-year  period.  In
general,  under Section 17058 of the  California  Revenue and Taxation  Code, an
owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used
against  California taxes otherwise due in each year of a four-year period.  The
Housing Complex is subject to a fifteen-year  compliance period (the "Compliance
Period"),  and under state law may have to be maintained  as low income  housing
for 30 or more years.

In general,  in order to avoid  recapture  of Low Income  Housing  Credits,  the
Partnership  does not  expect  that it will  dispose of its  interests  in Local
Limited Partnerships ("Local Limited Partnership Interests") or approve the sale
by any Local Limited  Partnership of its Housing Complex prior to the end of the
applicable  Compliance  Period.  Because  of  (i)  the  nature  of  the  Housing
Complexes,  (ii) the  difficulty of predicting  the resale market for low-income
housing  15 or more years in the  future,  and (iii) the  ability of  government
lenders to  disapprove  of transfer,  it is not possible at this time to predict
whether the liquidation of the  Partnership's  assets and the disposition of the
proceeds,  if any, in  accordance  with the  Partnership's  Agreement of Limited
Partnership,  as amended "by Supplements thereto" (the "Partnership Agreement"),
will be able to be accomplished  promptly at the end of the 15-year period. If a
Local  Limited  Partnership  is  unable  to  sell  its  Housing  Complex,  it is
anticipated that the local general partner ("Local General Partner") will either
continue to operate such Housing Complex or take such other actions as the Local
General  Partner  believes  to be in the  best  interest  of the  Local  Limited
Partnership.  Notwithstanding the preceding, circumstances beyond the control of
the  General  Partner  or the  Local  General  Partners  may  occur  during  the
Compliance   Period,   which  would  require  the  Partnership  to  approve  the
disposition of a Housing Complex prior to the end thereof, possibly resulting in
recapture of Low Income Housing Credits.

                                       3
<PAGE>
As of March 31, 1999,  the  Partnership  had invested in thirteen  Local Limited
Partnerships.  Each of these Local Limited  Partnerships  owns a Housing Complex
that is eligible  for the  federal  Low Income  Housing  Credit.  Certain  Local
Limited Partnerships may also benefit from government programs promoting low- or
moderate-income housing.

The Partnership's  investments in Local Limited  Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income  housing and to the
management and ownership of multi-unit  residential  real estate.  Some of these
risks  are that the Low  Income  Housing  Credit  could be  recaptured  and that
neither the  Partnership's  investments  nor the Housing  Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes  receive  government  financing  or operating  subsidies,  they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests;  limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations. The Housing Complexes are subject to mortgage
indebtedness.  If a Local  Limited  Partnership  does  not  makes  its  mortgage
payments,  the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing Complex
and Low Income Housing Credits.  As a limited partner or non-managing  member of
the Local Limited  Partnerships,  the Partnership  will have very limited rights
with respect to  management  of the Local  Limited  Partnerships,  and will rely
totally  on the  general  partners  or  managing  members  of the Local  Limited
Partnerships for management of the Local Limited Partnerships.  The value of the
Partnership's  investments  will be subject to  changes  in  national  and local
economic conditions,  including unemployment  conditions,  which could adversely
impact vacancy levels, rental payment defaults and operating expenses.  This, in
turn, could substantially  increase the risk of operating losses for the Housing
Complexes and the Partnership.  In addition,  each Local Limited  Partnership is
subject to risks relating to environmental hazards and natural disasters,  which
might be uninsurable.  Because the Partnership's operations will depend on these
and other  factors  beyond the  control  of the  General  Partner  and the Local
General  Partners,  there can be no assurance  that the  anticipated  Low Income
Housing Credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition,  Limited  Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the Low Income  Housing  Credit are  complicated,  and the use of credits can be
limited.  The only  material  benefit from an investment in Units may be the Low
Income Housing Credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will  develop.  All  Partnership  management
decisions are made by the General Partner.

As a limited partner or non-managing  member,  the  Partnership's  liability for
obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment.  The
Local General Partners of each Local Limited  Partnership retain  responsibility
for developing,  constructing,  maintaining,  operating and managing the Housing
Complexes.

Item 2. Properties

Through its investments in Local Limited  Partnerships,  the  Partnership  holds
limited  partnership  interests in the Housing  Complexes.  The following  table
reflects  the status of the thirteen  Housing  Complexes as of the dates and for
the periods indicated:

         will  develop  for the  purchase  and sale of any  Unit.  Units  can be
         assigned only if certain requirements in the Partnership  Agreement are
         satisfied.

(b)      At March 31, 1999, there were 1,378 Limited Partners.

(c)      The  Partnership  was not  designed to provide  cash  distributions  to
         Limited Partners in circumstances other than refinancing or disposition
         of its investments in Local Limited Partnerships.

(d)      No unregistered  securities  were sold by the  Partnership  during  the

Item 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

Financial Condition

The Partnership's  assets at March 31, 1999 consisted primarily of $3,103,000 in
cash,  $4,835,000 in cash in escrow,  $39,000 in  subscriptions  receivable  and
aggregate investments in the thirteen Local Limited Partnerships of $19,968,000.
Liabilities at March 31, 1999  primarily  consisted of $6,131,000 due to limited
partnerships,  $47,000 in annual asset  management fees and $113,000 in advances
and other payables due to the General Partner or affiliates.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
The  Partnership's  net loss for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999 was
$(43,000),  reflecting a decrease of $75,000 from the net income experienced for
the three months ended March 31, 1998. The change is primarily due to a decrease
in interest  income of $39,000 to $14,000 for the three  months  ended March 31,
1999 from  $53,000 for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and an increase in
equity in losses of limited  partnerships  of $8,000 to $(22,000)  for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from  $(14,000) for the three months ended March 31,
1998. In addition,  amortization  expense increased by $8,000,  asset management
fees increased by $16,000 and other operating expenses increased by $3,000.

Year Ended  December 31, 1998  Compared to Period Ended  December 31, 1997.  The
Partnership's net income for 1998 was $55,000, reflecting an increase of $53,000
from the net income experienced in 1997. The increase in net income is primarily
due to interest  income,  which  increased  to $286,000 in 1998 from  $10,000 in
1997,  offset by an  increase  in equity in losses of  limited  partnerships  of
$112,000,  an increase of $66,000 in annual asset management fees, and a $45,000
increase in amortization expense.

Cash Flows

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
Net  decrease  in cash  during  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1999  was
$(419,000),  compared to a net increase in cash for the three months ended March
31, 1998 of  $2,723,000.  The change was due  primarily to a decrease in capital
contributions  of $5,411,000 and an increase in cash paid to the General Partner
or  affiliates  of  $18,000,  offset  by an  increase  in  collections  of notes
receivable  due from  limited  partners  of  $880,000,  a decrease  in  offering
expenses paid of $533,000,  a decrease in investments in limited partnerships of
$608,000 and a decrease in acquisition fees and costs of $266,000.

Year Ended  December 31, 1998  Compared to Period Ended  December 31, 1997.  Net
decrease in cash in 1998 was $(1,368,000), compared to a net increase in cash in
1997 of  $4,890,000.  The change was due primarily to an increase in investments
in limited  partnerships  of  $6,763,000,  an  increase  in funds held in escrow
disbursement  accounts of  $4,288,000,  an increase in  capitalized  acquisition
costs of  $500,000,  and an increase  in cash used in  operating  activities  of
$118,000.  These increases are offset by an increase in capital contributions of
$5,742,000  and an increase in  collections  on notes  receivable  of  $632,000,
reduced by $962,000 for increases in offering costs.

During the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 and the year ended  December  31,
1998,  accrued  payables,  which  consist of related party  management  fees and
advances  due to the General  Partner,  increased  by $63,000 and  decreased  by
$265,000, respectively.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at March 31, 1999,  to be  sufficient  to meet all  currently  forseeable
future cash requirements.

Subsequent to March 31, 1999, the  Partnership is in negotiations to acquire one
additional Local Limited Partnership interest which would commit the Partnership
to additional capital  contributions of $670,000,  of which $0 has been advanced
as of March 31, 1999.

Impact of Year 2000

WNC & Associates, Inc.

Status of Readiness

Information Technology (IT) Systems. The Partnership relies on the IT systems of
WNC, its general partner. IT systems include computer hardware and software used
to produce  financial  reports and tax return  information.  This information is
then used to generate  reports to investors and regulatory  agencies,  including
the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.

Non-IT Systems. The Partnership also relies on the non-IT systems of WNC. Non-IT
systems  include  machinery and  equipment  such as  telephones,  voice mail and
electronic  postage  equipment.  Except  for one  telephone  system,  the non-IT
systems of WNC are year 2000  compliant.  The one telephone  system will require
the replacement of one computer and one software application, both of which will
be completed on or before October 1, 1999.

Service  Providers.  WNC also  relies on the IT and  non-IT  systems  of service
providers. Service providers include utility companies,  financial institutions,
telecommunications carriers,  municipalities, and other outside vendors. WNC has
obtained verbal assurances from its material service providers (electrical power
provider,  financial institutions and telecommunications carriers) that their IT
and non-IT systems are year 2000 compliant.  There can be no assurance that this
compliance  information  is  correct.  There also can be no  assurance  that the
systems of other,  less-important  service providers and outside vendors will be
year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

The cost to address  year 2000  issues for WNC has been less than  $20,000.  The
cost to replace the telephone  system noted above will be less than $5,000.  The
cost to deal with potential year 2000 issues of other outside  vendors cannot be
estimated at this time.

                                       11
<PAGE>
Risk of Year 2000 Issues

The most  reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000  compliance of systems
of the service  providers  noted above will be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption would, in turn, lead to delays in performing
reporting and fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst
case scenario would be the replacement of a service provider. These delays would
likely  be  temporary  and  would  likely  not  have a  material  effect  on the
Partnership or WNC.

Local Limited Partnerships

Status of Readiness

WNC is in the  process of  obtaining  year 2000  certifications  from each Local
General Partner of each Local Limited  Partnership.  Those  certifications  will
represent  to the  Partnership  that the IT and non-IT  systems  critical to the
operation of the Housing Complexes and investor reporting to the Partnership are
year 2000 compliant. These certifications will also represent to the Partnership
that the IT and non-IT  systems of property  management  companies,  independent
accountants,    electrical   power   providers,   financial   institutions   and
telecommunications  carriers used by the Local Limited Partnership are year 2000
compliant.

There can be no assurance that the representations in the certifications will be
correct.   There  also  can  be  no   assurance   that  the  systems  of  other,
less-important  service  providers  and  outside  vendors,  upon which the Local
Limited Partnerships rely, will be year 2000 compliant.

Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues

There  will be no cost to the  Partnership  as a result of  assessing  year 2000
issues for the Local Limited Partnerships.  The cost to deal with potential year
2000 issues of the Local Limited Partnerships cannot be estimated at this time.

Risk of Year 2000 Issues

There may be Local  General  Partners who indicate  that they or their  property
management  company are not year 2000  compliant and do not have plans to become
year 2000  compliant  before the end of 1999.  There may be other Local  General
Partners who are  unwilling to respond to the  certification  request.  The most
likely result of either non-compliance or failure to respond will be the removal
and  replacement  of the property  management  company  and/or the Local General
Partner with year 2000 compliant operators.

Despite the efforts to obtain certifications, there can be no assurance that the
Partnership  will be unaffected  by year 2000 issues.  The most  reasonable  and
likely  result from non-year 2000  compliance  will be the  disruption of normal
business  operations  for the  Local  Limited  Partnerships,  including  but not
limited  to the  possible  failure  to  properly  collect  rents and meet  their
obligations in a timely manner.  This disruption  would, in turn, lead to delays
by  the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  in  performing  reporting  and  fiduciary
responsibilities  on behalf of the  Partnership.  The worst-case  scenario would
include the  initiation of  foreclosure  proceedings on the property by mortgage
debt holders. Under these circumstances, WNC or its affiliates will take actions
necessary  to  minimize  the risk of  foreclosure,  including  the  removal  and
replacement of a Local General  Partner by the  Partnership.  These delays would
likely  be  temporary  and  would  likely  not  have a  material  effect  on the
Partnership or WNC.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Partners
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 5


We have audited the  accompanying  balance sheets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
VI, L.P., Series 5 (a California Limited  Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the related  statements of operations,
partners'  equity  (deficit) and cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1999 and the year ended December 31, 1998.  These  financial  statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  A  significant
portion of the  financial  statements of the limited  partnerships  in which the
Partnership  is a limited  partner were audited by other  auditors whose reports
have been  furnished to us. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial  statements,
the Partnership  accounts for its investments in limited  partnerships using the
equity  method.   The  portion  of  the  Partnership's   investment  in  limited
partnerships  audited  by other  auditors  represented  37% and 33% of the total
assets of the Partnership at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
Our  opinion,  insofar as it relates to the amounts  included  in the  financial
statements for the limited  partnerships  which were audited by others, is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We  believe  that our audits and the  reports  of the other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors,  the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the  financial  position of WNC Housing  Tax Credit Fund VI,  L.P.,  Series 5 (a
California Limited  Partnership) as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and
the  results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the three  months  ended
March  31,  1999 and the year  ended  December  31,  1998,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 5


We have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
VI, L.P., Series 5 (a California Limited  Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1997, and the related  statements of operations,  partners'  equity
(deficit)  and cash  flows for the  period  August  29,  1997  (date  operations
commenced)  through  December  31,  1997.  These  financial  statements  are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audit. We did not audit
the financial  statements of the limited  partnerships  in which WNC Housing Tax
Credit Fund VI,  L.P.,  Series 5 is a limited  partner.  These  investments,  as
discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, are accounted for by the equity
method.  The  investment in these limited  partnerships  represented  25% of the
total  assets of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund V, L.P.,  Series 5 at December  31,
1997. The financial statements of the limited partnerships were audited by other
auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it
relates to the amounts included for these limited partnerships,  is based solely
on the reports of the other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting

financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the  financial  position of WNC  Housing  Tax Credit  Fund V, L.P.,  Series 5 (a

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       For The Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 (Unaudited) and
     For The Year Ended December 31, 1998 and For The Period August 29, 1997
              (Date Operations Commenced) Through December 31, 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 5, a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"),  was formed on March 3, 1997 under the laws of the state of
California,  and commenced  operations on August 29, 1997. 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 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.  Wilfred N.  Cooper,  Sr.,  through the Cooper
Revocable Trust,  owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of WNC. John B. Lester was
the original  limited partner of the  Partnership  and owns,  through the Lester
Family Trust, 28.6% of the outstanding stock of WNC.

The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2052,
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").  The  offering of Units  concluded on July 9, 1998 at which
time 25,000 Units representing  subscriptions in the amount of $24,918,175,  net
of discount of $54,595 for volume  purchases  and $27,230 for dealer  discounts,
had been accepted.  The General  Partner has a 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% 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.

Change in Reporting Year End

The  Partnership  has  elected  to change its year end for  financial  reporting
purposes from December 31 to March 31. All  financial  information  reflected in
the financial statements and related footnotes has been adjusted for this change
in year end except for the combined condensed financial  information relating to
the Local Limited Partnerships included in Note 3.

Due to the change in year end, unaudited financial information as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 is included in the  financial  statements  for
comparative  purposes  only.  The  financial  statements as of and for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1998  are  unaudited  but  include  all   adjustments
(consisting  of normal  recurring  adjustments)  which  are,  in the  opinion of
management,  necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of
operations of the Partnership for the interim period.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Partnership's  investments in Local Limited  Partnerships are subject to the
risks incident to the management and ownership of low-income  housing and to the
management and ownership of multi-unit  residential  real estate.  Some of these
risks  are that the low  income  housing  credit  could be  recaptured  and that
neither the  Partnership's  investments  nor the Housing  Complexes owned by the
Local Limited Partnerships will be readily marketable. To the extent the Housing
Complexes  receive  government  financing  or operating  subsidies,  they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants
for the Housing Complexes; difficulties in obtaining rent increases; limitations
on cash distributions; limitations on sales or refinancing of Housing Complexes;
limitations on transfers of Local Limited Partnership Interests;  limitations on
removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible
changes in applicable regulations.  The Housing Complexes are or will be subject
to  mortgage  indebtedness.  If a Local  Limited  Partnership  does not make its
mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose resulting in a loss of the Housing
Complex  and  low-income  housing  credits.  As a limited  partner  of the Local
Limited Partnerships, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect
to management of the Local  Limited  Partnerships,  and will rely totally on the
Local General  Partners of the Local Limited  Partnerships for management of the
Local Limited Partnerships.  The value of the Partnership's  investments will be
subject  to  changes  in  national  and  local  economic  conditions,  including
unemployment  conditions,  which could adversely  impact vacancy levels,  rental
payment  defaults and operating  expenses.  This, in turn,  could  substantially
increase  the  risk of  operating  losses  for  the  Housing  Complexes  and the
Partnership.  In addition,  each Local Limited  Partnership  is subject to risks
relating  to  environmental  hazards  and  natural  disasters,  which  might  be
uninsurable. Because the Partnership's operations will depend on these and other
factors  beyond  the  control  of the  General  Partner  and the  Local  General
Partners,  there can be no assurance  that the  anticipated  low income  housing
credits will be available to Limited Partners.

In addition,  Limited  Partners are subject to risks in that the rules governing
the low income  housing  credit are  complicated,  and the use of credits can be
limited.  The only  material  benefit from an investment in Units may be the low
income housing credits. There are limits on the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop.  All management decisions will
be made by the General Partner.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Limited Partnerships

The Partnership  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  Partnership's  results of operations
and for any distributions received. The accounting policies of the Local Limited
Partnership's  are 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 3).

Losses from limited  partnerships for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
have been recorded by the Partnership  based on reported results provided by the
Local  Limited  Partnerships.  Losses from  limited  partnerships  for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 have been  estimated by  management  of the
Partnership. Losses from Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership
are not recognized to the extent that the  investment  balance would be adjusted
below zero.

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  14.5%
(including sales commissions) of the total offering proceeds.  Offering expenses
are  reflected  as a reduction  of limited  partners'  capital  and  amounted to
$3,248,440, $3,183,115 and $1,257,504 as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998
and 1997, respectively.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosure  of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial  statements,  and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Partnership   considers  all  highly  liquid   investments  with  remaining
maturities of three months or less when  purchased to be cash  equivalents.  The
Partnerships  cash  equivalents  consisted  of  investments  in tax exempt bonds
totaling  $2,730,675  and $3,400,000 as of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At March 31, 1999, the Partnership maintained cash balances at certain financial
institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Income (Loss) Per Limited Partner Unit

Net  income  (loss) per  limited  partnership  unit is  calculated  pursuant  to
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share.  Net
income  (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

In June 1997,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  This statement  establishes
standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that
all items that are  required to be  recognized  under  accounting  standards  as
components of comprehensive  income be included in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Comprehensive
income  includes net income as well as certain items that are reported  directly
within a separate  component  of  partners'  equity and bypass net  income.  The
Partnership  adopted the  provisions of this  statement in 1998. For the periods
presented,  the Partnership has no elements of other  comprehensive  income,  as
defined by SFAS No. 130.

Reclassifications

Certain  prior  year  balances  have been  reclassified  to  conform to the 1999
presentation.

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans  receivable  represent  amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain Local
Limited  Partnerships  in which the  Partnership  may  invest.  These  loans are
generally applied against the first capital  contribution due if the Partnership
ultimately invests in such entities.  In the event that the Partnership does not
invest in such  entities,  the loans are to be repaid  with  interest  at a rate
which is equal  to the rate  charged  to the  holder.  Loans  receivable  with a
balance of  $758,894  at December  31,  1997 were  collectible  from two limited
partnerships,  both of which were  acquired  in 1998.  Loans  receivable  with a
balance of  $100,000  at December  31,  1997 were  collectible  from one limited
partnership and were repaid to the Partnership in 1998.

     For The Year Ended December 31, 1998 and For The Period August 29, 1997
              (Date Operations Commenced) Through December 31, 1997

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of March 31,  1999 and  December  31,  1998 and  1997,  the  Partnership  has
acquired limited partnership interests in 13 Local Limited Partnerships, each of
which owns one Housing  Complex  consisting  of an  aggregate  of 591  apartment
units. As of March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 construction or rehabilitation
of 5 of the Housing  Complexes  were still in process.  The  respective  general
partners of the Local Limited  Partnerships manage the day-to-day  operations of
the entities.  Significant Local Limited Partnership  business decisions require
approval  from the  Partnership.  The  Partnership,  as a  limited  partner,  is
generally  entitled  to 99%,  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.

The  Partnership's  investments  in limited  partnerships  as  reflected  in the
balance sheets at December 31, 1998 and 1997, are approximately  $10,382,000 and
$1,559,000,  respectively, greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the
Local Limited Partnerships'  financial statements.  This difference is primarily
due to acquisition, selection, and other costs related to the acquisition of the
investments which have been capitalized in the Partnership's  investment account
and to capital  contributions  payable to the  limited  partnerships  which were
netted  against  partner  capital in the Local Limited  Partnerships'  financial
statements (see Notes 4 and 5).

Equity  in  losses  of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  is  recognized  in the
financial  statements until the related  investment account is reduced to a zero
balance. Losses incurred after the investment account is reduced to zero are not
recognized. If the Local Limited Partnerships report net income in future years,
the  Partnership  will resume applying the equity method only after its share of
such net  income  equals  the share of net  losses  not  recognized  during  the
period(s) the equity method was suspended.

Distributions  received by limited  partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance.  Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are recognized as income.  As of March 31, 1999, no investment  accounts in
Local Limited Partnerships reached a zero balance.

The following is a summary of the equity method  activity of the  investments in
limited partnerships for the periods presented:

NOTE 5 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

Payables  to limited  partnerships  represent  amounts  which are due at various
times  based on  conditions  specified  in the  respective  limited  partnership
agreements.  These  contributions  are payable in installments and are generally
due upon the limited  partnerships  achieving certain  development and operating
benchmarks (generally within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

No provision  for income taxes has been recorded in the  accompanying  financial
statements as any  liability for income taxes is the  obligation of the partners
of the Partnership.

NOTE 7 - SUBSCRIPTIONS AND NOTES RECEIVABLE

During  1998,  the  Partnership  received  subscriptions  for 15,166 Units which
included promissory notes of $615,250,  of which $576,650 were collected in 1999
prior to the issuance of the December 31, 1998 financial statements,  leaving an
unpaid balance of $38,600. As this balance was paid in 1999 prior to issuance of
the March 31, 1999 financial  statements it is reflected as capital  contributed
during the three months ended March 31, 1999.

In 1997, the Partnership had received  promissory  notes of $351,150  related to
the sale of Units,  of which  $48,000 was  collected  in 1998 and  $303,150  was
collected in 1999.  Promissory notes collected  subsequent to year end and prior
to  the  issuance  of  the  financial  statements  are  recorded  as  a  capital
contribution and an asset in the financial statements.  Any unpaid balance as of
the issuance of the 1998  financial  statements  was reflected as a reduction of
partners' equity in the financial statements.

subscribed  for ten or more units of  limited  partnerships  interest  ($10,000)
could elect to pay 50% of the purchase price in cash upon  subscription  and the
remaining  50% by the  delivery of a  promissory  note  payable,  together  with
interest  at the rate of 5.5% per annum,  due no later than 13 months  after the
subscription date.  Subscriptions and notes receivable  collected  subsequent to
year-end prior to the issuance of the 1997 financial statements were recorded as
a  capital  contribution  and an  asset.  Any  unpaid  balance  at that date was
reflected  as a reduction  of  partners'  equity in the  accompanying  financial
statements.

additional Local Limited Partnership interest which would commit the Partnership

         subordinated  to the prior  return  of the  Limited  Partners'  capital
         contributions  and payment of the Return on  Investment  to the Limited
         Partners.  "Return on Investment"  means an annual,  cumulative but not
         compounded,  "return" to the  Limited  Partners  (including  Low Income
         Housing  Credits) as a class on their  adjusted  capital  contributions
         commencing  for each  Limited  Partner on the last day of the  calendar

         1997.  The  General  Partners  are also  entitled to receive 1% of cash
         distributions.  There  were no  distributions  of  cash to the  General
         Partner  during the three months ended March 31, 1999 or the year ended
         December 31, 1998.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

         outstanding Units.

(b)      Security Ownership of Management

         Neither the General Partner, its affiliates, nor any of the officers or
         directors  of the General  Partner or its  affiliates  own  directly or

(c)      Changes in Control

         The management and control of the General Partner may be changed at any
         time in  accordance  with its  organizational  documents,  without  the
         consent  or  approval  of  the  Limited  Partners.  In  addition,   the
         Partnership  Agreement  provides  for  the  admission  of one  or  more
         additional and successor General Partners in certain circumstances.

                                       29

<PAGE>


         First,   with  the  consent  of  any  other  General   Partners  and  a
         majority-in-interest  of the Limited Partners,  any General Partner may
         designate  one or more persons to be successor  or  additional  General
         Partners. In addition,  any General Partner may, without the consent of
         any other General  Partner or the Limited  Partners,  (i) substitute in
         its  stead  as  General  Partner  any  entity  which  has,  by  merger,
         consolidation or otherwise,  acquired  substantially all of its assets,
         stock or other evidence of equity  interest and continued its business,
         or (ii) cause to be admitted to the  Partnership an additional  General
         Partner or  Partners  if it deems such  admission  to be  necessary  or
         desirable so that the Partnership  will be classified a partnership for
         Federal income tax purposes.  Finally,  a  majority-in-interest  of the
         Limited  Partners  may at any time  remove the  General  Partner of the
         Partnership and elect a successor General Partner.

Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The General Partner manages all of the Partnership's  affairs.  The transactions
with  the  General  Partner  are  primarily  in the  form  of  fees  paid by the
Partnership for services  rendered to the Partnership and the General  Partner's
interest in the  Partnership,  as  discussed  in Item 11 and in the notes to the
Partnership's financial statements.
