NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Period Ended March 31, 1998
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ---------------------------------------------------
General
- -------
The information contained in the following notes to the financial statements is
condensed from that which would appear in the annual financial statements;
accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto contained in
the WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund II, L.P. (the "Partnership") Annual Report for
the year ended December 31, 1997. 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,
1998 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the three
months ended.
Organization
- ------------
The Partnership was formed on January 19, 1990, under the laws of the State of
California. The Partnership was formed to invest in other limited partnerships,
which will acquire, develop, rehabilitate, own and operate multi-family
residential apartment complexes. All of the complexes qualify for low income
housing tax credits.
WNC Financial Group, L.P., a California partnership, is the general partner (the
"General Partner") of the partnership. WNC & Associates, Inc. is the general
partner of WNC Financial Group, L.P. Other officers and key employees of WNC &
Associates, Inc. are limited partners. The Cooper Revocable Trust owns 70% of
the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. John B. Lester, Jr. is the
original limited partner of the Partnership and, through the Lester Family
Trust, owns 30% of the outstanding stock 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.
Method of Accounting For Investment in Limited Partnerships
- -----------------------------------------------------------
The investment in limited partnerships is accounted for on the equity method of
accounting. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments in
limited partnerships were capitalized as part of the investment account

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all bank certificates of deposit with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
- -------------------------------------------
The Partnership has acquired limited partnership interests in twenty-seven
limited partnerships which own and operate multi-family residential rental
complexes. The Partnership, as a limited partner, is generally entitled to 99%
of the operating profits and losses of the local limited partnerships.
Equity in losses of 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 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. At March 31, 1998, eight of the limited
partnership investment accounts have reached a zero balance and losses for those
partnerships are not recognized.
Following is a summary of the components of the Partnership's investment in
local limited partnerships as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Partnership completed raising funds in December 1991 from investors by means
of a public offering. $7,000,000 was raised from investors from this offering.
These funds were applied to the acquisition of investments in local
partnerships, acquisition fees, the establishment of reserves, the payment of
operating expenses and the payment of expenses of this offering. The
Partnership's primary source of capital was the proceeds from its offering.
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6,400 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. This increase in cash resulted as cash provided by
the Partnership's investing and operating activities. Cash provided by investing
activities consisted entirely of distributions from limited partnerships. Cash
used by the Partnership's operating activities consisted primarily of payments
for operating fees and expenses.
Cash provided by operations consisted primarily of interest received on cash
deposits.
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $800 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. This increase in cash resulted as cash provided by the
Partnership's operating activities. Cash used by the Partnership's operating
activities consisted primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses. Cash
provided by operations consisted primarily of interest received on cash
deposits. The Partnership has no further financial obligations from its real
estate investments. 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 local 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 has working capital of approximately $188,000 which 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 local limited partnerships for such
purposes or to replenish or increase working capital reserves.
It is not expected that any of the local 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.
10
<PAGE>
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 local limited partnerships. Accordingly, if
circumstances arise that cause the local limited partnerships to require capital
in addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any equity of the local
general partners, 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 local limited partnerships are already
substantially leveraged), (ii) additional equity contributions or advances of
the local general partners, (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 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 local limited partnerships in question. If such funds are not available,
the local 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 local 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 or is expected
to generate losses until sale of the apartment complex(es).
As reflected on its Statements of Operations, the Partnership has losses of
approximately $111,000 and $185,000 the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
1997, respectively. 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
legal, accounting, 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.
11
<PAGE>
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 have, and 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.
The Partnership's operations for both periods reflect losses from the
Partnership's investments in limited partnerships. These losses arise primarily
from depreciation of the underlying apartment complexes. These losses were
greater for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the 1998
period.
