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  multi-family  housing  complexes that will qualify for low
income housing credits (the "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 December  31,  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,  of which  $918,400 was  represented by promissory
notes of the  subscribers.  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 an Housing Complex prior to the end thereof,  possibly  resulting
in recapture of Low Income Housing Credits.

                                       3
<PAGE>


As of December 31, 1998, 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 December 31, 1998
and for the periods indicated:

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

Item 5a.

(a)  The Units are not traded on a public  exchange but are being sold through a
     public offering.  It is not anticipated that any public market 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 December 31, 1998, there were 1,375 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.  The  Limited  Partners,  who
     invested in the Partnership  received Housing Tax Credits of $21 to $12 per
     Unit  depending on the month of  investment in 1998.  The limited  partners
     received no Housing Tax Credits in 1997.

Item 5b.

The  Partnership  conducted  an offering  pursuant to a  registration  statement
(Commission File No.  333-24111) which was declared  effective on June 23, 1997.
As of December 31, 1998 the  Partnership had received  subscriptions  for 25,000
Units, for an aggregate amount of capital  contributions of $24,918,175,  net of
volume and dealer discounts of $81,825.  At December 31, 1998, the above capital
contributions consisted of cash of $23,999,775 and notes receivable of $918,400.
At December 31, 1998,  approximately $3,183,115 was paid or due to Associates or
WNC  Capital  Corporation,  the  dealer-manager  for the  offering,  for selling
commissions,  wholesaling  activities and in reimbursement of other organization
and offering expenses. Included therein are selling commissions of approximately
$1,683,115  and  wholesaling  and other  organization  and offering  expenses of
approximately  $750,000 which were paid or to be paid to to  non-affiliates.  At
December  31,  1998,  approximately  $21,735,000  is invested or available to be
invested in Local Limited Partnership Interests or Reserves as follows:

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

Financial Condition

The Partnership's  assets at December 31, 1998 consisted primarily of $3,522,000
in cash, $5,506,000 in cash in escrow, $880,000 in subscriptions  receivable and
aggregate investments in the thirteen Local Limited Partnerships of $19,928,000.
Liabilities  at December  31, 1998  primarily  consisted  of  $8,052,000  due to
limited  partnerships,  $66,000 in annual asset  management  fees and $26,000 in
advances form the General Partner.

Results of Operations

Year Ended  December 31, 1998  Compared to Year 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

Year Ended  December 31, 1998  Compared to Year 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 1998 accrued payables, which consist of related party management fees and
advances due to the General Partner, decreased by $265,000.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at December 31, 1998, to be  sufficient to meet all currently  forseeable
future cash requirements.

Impact of Year 2000

WNC & Associates, Inc.

Status of Readiness

Information Technology (IT) Systems. The Partnership relies on the IT systems of
WNC, its ultimate  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.

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.

                                       11
<PAGE>
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  sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund
VI, L.P., Series 5 (a California Limited  Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1998, and the related  statements of operations,  partners'  equity
(deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. 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.  A
significant portion of the financial  statements of the limited  partnerships in
which the  Partnership is a limited partner and investor  member,  respectively,
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 38% of the total assets of the Partnership at December 31, 1998. 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 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
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 audit and the  reports  of the  other  auditors  provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  based on our audit 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 December 31, 1998, and the results of its
operations  and its cash  flows  for the year then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

To the Partners
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
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by

financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                    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 is
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 loss and in cash available for distribution from
the  Partnership.  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.

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

                      Commenced) Through December 31, 1997

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

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 in 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 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
$3,183,115 and $1,257,504 as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

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 $3,400,000 at December 31, 1998.

Concentration of Credit Risk

As of December 31, 1998,  the  Partnership  maintained  cash balances at certain
financial institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Loss Per Limited Partner Unit

Net loss per limited  partnership  unit is  calculated  pursuant to Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 128,  Earnings Per Share. Net loss per unit
includes no dilution  and is computed  by  dividing  loss  available  to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding  during the period.
Calculation of diluted net income per unit is not required.

Reporting Comprehensive Income

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 years
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 1998
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.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of December 31,  1998,  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 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 of
the Local Limited Partnerships.

                      Commenced) Through December 31, 1997

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, continued

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 Note 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.  During 1998,  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 years ended December 31:

         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

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT


To The Partners
  MANSUR WOOD ELDERLY LIVING CENTER, L.P.
  (An Illinois Limited Partnership)



We have audited the  accompanying  balance  sheet of MANSUR WOOD ELDERLY  LIVING
CENTER, L.P. (An Illinois Limited  Partnership) for the initial period beginning
September  19, 1998  through  December 31,  1998,  and the related  statement of
operations,  partners'  equity  and cash  flows for the year then  ended.  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 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
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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the  financial  position of MANSUR WOOD ELDERLY  LIVING
CENTER,  L.P. as of December 31, 1998, and the results of its operations and its
cash  flows for the year then  ended,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                        NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                DECEMBER 31, 1998



NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

     The Partnership was formed as a limited  partnership  under the laws of the
     State of Illinois on September  19, 1998,  for the purpose of  constructing
     and operating a rental housing  project.  The project consists of 115 units
     located in Carbon Cliff,  Illinois,  and is currently  operating  under the
     name of MANSUR WOOD ELDERLY LIVING CENTER.

     The project is expected  to qualify for the  Low-Income  Housing Tax Credit
     established by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 when it is completed.



NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies consistently
     applied  in  the  preparation  of  the  accompanying  financial  statements
     follows:

     CAPITALIZATION AND DEPRECIATION

     Land,  building and  improvements  are recorded at cost.  Improvements  are
     capitalized,  while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
     expense as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate
     property  accounts  are  reduced  by  the  related  costs  and  accumulated
     depreciation.

     Depreciation  is provided for in amounts  sufficient  to relate the cost of
     depreciable  assets to operations over their estimated  service lives.  The
     estimated  service  life of the assets  for  depreciation  purposes  may be
     different than their actual economic useful lives.

                                         Estimated Life          Method
                                         --------------          ------
     Land                                -                       None
     Building and Improvements           27.5 Years              Straight-Line
     Furniture and Fixtures              Various                 MACRS


     INCOME TAXES

     No  provision  or  benefit  for  income  taxes has been  included  in these
     financial  statements  since  taxable  income  passes  through  to,  and is
     reportable by, the partners individually.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (Continued)

     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  differ  from those
     estimates.


NOTE 3 - CASH

     The  Partnership  maintains  its cash in bank deposit  accounts  which,  at
     times,  may  exceed  federally  insured  limits.  The  Partnership  has not
     experienced any losses in such accounts. The Partnership believes it is not
     exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.


NOTE 4 - PARTNERS' CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

     The Partnership has one General Partner, Elderly Living Development,  Inc.,
     which has a 1% interest  and one Limited  Partner,  WNC Tax Credit Fund VI,
     L.P.  and one  Special  Limited  Partner,  WNC  Housing  L.P.  The  Limited
     Partners' interests are 98.99% and .01%, respectively.


NOTE 5 - LONG-TERM DEBT

     The construction loan is for the maximum amount of $4,300,000 and
     bears   interest  at  2.10%  over  the  Federal  Home  Loan  Bank
     Construction  Note rates.  As of December 31, 1998, no funds have
     been  drawn on this  note.  The  loan is due  December  9,  2000.
     Collateralized by investment in real estate held for lease.       $     -

          disbursements from the construction  escrow in order to determine that
          construction is in accordance with plans and specifications.  Material
          modifications to the plans and specifications that are not agreed upon
          by the Limited  Partners may cause the Limited Partners to request the
          return of the remaining escrow funds.
