conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto contained in
the WNC California Housing Tax Credits,  L.P. (the "Partnership")  Annual Report
for the year ended December 31, 1996.  Accounting  measurements at interim dates
inherently  involve greater  reliance on estimates than at year end. The results
of operations for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of
the results for the entire year.

In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain  all  adjustments   (consisting  of  only  normal  recurring
accruals)  necessary to present  fairly the  financial  position as of March 31,
1997 and the  results  of  operations  and  changes  in cash flows for the three
months ended.

Organization

The  Partnership was formed on September 15, 1988 under the laws of the State of
California. The Partnership was formed to invest, as a limited partner, in other
limited partnerships which will acquire, develop,  rehabilitate, own and operate
apartment  complexes.  All eleven of the apartment complexes qualify for federal
low income housing tax credits and eight of the apartment  complexes qualify for
California low income housing tax credits.

WNC & Associates,  Inc., a California corporation and Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr. are
the general partners  (collectively  the "General  Partner") of the Partnership.
The Cooper  Revocable  Trust is the principal  shareholder  of WNC & Associates,
Inc.

The General  Partner has a 1%  interest in  operating  profits and losses of the
Partnership.  The limited  partners will be allocated the remaining 99% interest
in proportion to their respective investments.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS, continued

Method of Accounting For Investment 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 each limited  partnership's  results of operations  and
for any distributions  received.  Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring
the  investments  in  limited  partnerships  are  capitalized  as  part  of  the
investment.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  Partnership  considers all bank  certificates of deposit with a maturity of
less than six months to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had acquired limited partnership interests
in eleven limited partnerships which own and operate eleven apartment complexes.
The Partnership,  as a limited partner, is a 99% owner and is entitled to 99% of
the operating profits and losses of the limited partnerships.

The  following  is a summary  of the  investment  in  limited  partnerships  and
reconciliation  to the  limited  partnership  accounts  as of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996:

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The Partnership's  primary source of capital was the proceeds from its offering.
The Partnership  completed raising funds in July 1990 from investors by means of
a public offering. These funds were applied to the acquisition of investments in
eleven limited  partnerships,  acquisition  fees, the establishment of reserves,
the payment of operating  expenses and the payment of expenses of this offering.
The  Partnership has paid all capital  contributions  due for its investments in
Limited   Partnerships   and  has  no  further   obligations  for  its  property
investments.

Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows,  the  Partnership had net
increases/(decreases)  in cash and cash equivalents of $2,822 and $(464) for the
three  months  ended  March 31,  1997 and  1996.  The  increase  in cash in 1997
resulted as cash  provided by  operating  activities  and  investing  activities
exceeded  cash  used  in  investing  activities.  The  decrease  in cash in 1996
resulted  as  cash  used in  operating  activities  exceeded  cash  provided  by
operating  activities.,  Cash  used by the  Partnership's  operating  activities
consisted  primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses.  Cash provided
by investing  activities  consisted of distributions from limited  partnerships;
cash  provided  operations  consisted  primarily  of  interest  received on cash
deposits.  The major components of all these activities are discussed in greater
detail below.

The Partnership's  investments are not readily marketable and may be affected by
adverse general economic conditions which, in turn, could substantially increase
the  risk  of  operating  losses  for  the  apartment  complexes,   the  limited
partnerships  and the  Partnership.  These  problems may result from a number of
factors, many of which cannot be controlled by the General Partner.

The Partnership's  current working capital reserves of approximately  $87,000 is
anticipated   to  be  sufficient  to  satisfy   general   working   capital  and
administrative  expense requirements of the Partnership excluding payment of the
asset  management  fee as well as expenses  attendant to the  preparation of tax
returns  and  reports  to the  limited  partners  and other  investor  servicing
obligations of the Partnership.  Liquidity would, however, be adversely affected
by unanticipated or greater than anticipated operating costs. To the extent that
working capital  reserves are  insufficient to satisfy the cash  requirements of
the Partnership, it is anticipated that additional funds would be sought through
bank loans or other institutional  financing. The General Partner may also apply
any cash distributions  received from the limited partnerships for such purposes
or to replenish or increase working capital reserves.

It is not expected that any of the limited partnerships in which the Partnership
will  invest  will   generate  cash  from   operations   sufficient  to  provide
distributions to the limited partners in any significant  amount. Such cash from
operations,  if any,  would  first  be used to meet  operating  expenses  of the
Partnership,  including the payment of the asset  management  fee to the General
Partner.

Under its partnership  agreement,  the Partnership  does not have the ability to
assess its partners for additional  capital  contributions to provide capital if
needed by the Partnership or limited partnerships. Accordingly, if circumstances
arise that cause the limited partnerships to require capital in addition to that
contributed  by the  Partnership  and any equity of the general  partners of the
limited  partnerships,  the only sources  from which such capital  needs will be
able  to be  satisfied  (other  than  the  limited  reserves  available  at  the
Partnership  level) will be (i)  third-party  debt  financing  (which may not be
available,  as the apartment  complexes  owned by the limited  partnerships  are
already  substantially  leveraged),  (ii)  additional  equity  contributions  or
advances of the general partners of the limited partnerships, (iii) other equity
source (which could adversely affect the Partnership's  interest in tax credits,
cash flow and/or proceeds of sale or refinancing of the apartment  complexes and
result in adverse tax consequences to the limited partners), or (iv) the sale or
disposition of the apartment complexes (which could have the same

                                       10

<PAGE>


adverse  effects as discussed in (iii)  above).  There can be no assurance  that
funds from any of such sources would be readily available in sufficient  amounts
to fund the capital requirement of the limited  partnershipin  question. If such
funds are not  available,  the limited  partnerships  would risk  foreclosure on
their apartment  complexes if they were unable to renegotiate the terms of their
first  mortgages  and any other debt secured by the  apartment  complexes to the
extent the capital requirements of the limited partnerships relate to such debt.

The  Partnership's  capital  needs and  resources  are expected to be relatively
stable over the holding periods of the investments.

Results of Operations

Consistent  with  the   Partnership's   investment   objectives,   each  limited
partnership  is generating  federal low income  housing  credits for a period of
approximately  ten years,  and (as discussed  below) is generating  losses until
sale  of  the  apartment  complex(es).   Additionally,   eight  of  the  limited
partnerships  generated  California low income  housing  credits for a period of
four years.

As reflected on its  Statements of  Operations,  the  Partnership  has a loss of
approximately  $152,000  and  $125,000 the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
1996. The components items of revenue and expense are discussed below.

Revenue - Partnership  revenues  consisted  entirely of interest  earned on cash
deposits held in financial institutions as reserves.  Interest revenue in future
years will be a function  of  prevailing  interest  rates and the amount of cash
balances.

Expenses - The most  significant  component  of  operating  expenses  is, and is
expected to be, the asset  management fee. The asset  management fee is equal to
0.5% of invested assets in limited  partnerships  (the sum of the  Partnership's
capital  contributions to the limited  partnerships plus the Partnership's share
of  the  debts  related  to  the  apartment  complexes  owned  by  such  limited
partnerships). The amount of the asset management fee is expected to be the same
in future periods as the amount of invested  assets is expected to remain stable
until disposition of the underlying apartment complexes.

Amortization  expense consists of the amortization  over a period of 30 years of
the 9% selection  fee and other  expenses  attributable  to the  acquisition  of
limited partnership interests.

Office expenses consists of the Partnership's  administrative  expenses, such as
bank  charges  and  investor  reporting  expenses.  Although  these  amounts are
expected  to remain  consistent  on an  annual  basis,  there may be  variations
between  quarters  depending on the timing of preparing  and mailing  reports to
investors.

Equity in losses from limited  partnerships - The Partnership's equity in losses
from  limited  partnerships  is  equal to 99% of the  aggregate  net loss of the
limited  partnerships.  After rent-up,  the limited partnerships are expected to
generate  losses during each year of  operations;  this is so because,  although
rental income is expected to exceed cash operating  expenses,  depreciation  and
amortization  deductions  claimed by the limited  partnerships  are  expected to
exceed net rental income.
