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 September 30,
1998 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the nine months
then 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

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  September  30, 1998 seven 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 September 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for an annual  management fee
equal to .5% of the invested assets of the limited  partnerships,  including the
Partnership's  allocable  share of the mortgages.  A fee of $108,676 was accrued

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
decrease  in cash and cash  equivalents  of  approximately  $7,600  for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1998. Cash of  approximately  $5,900 was provided by
investing  activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 consisting
entirely of  distributions  from  limited  partnerships.  Cash of  approximately
$13,500  was  used by  operating  activities  consisted  primarily  of  interest
received  on cash  deposits,  and cash  used  consisted  primarily  of  payments
operating  fees  and  expenses.   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   $174,700  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.

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

                                       10

<PAGE>

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 $347,000 and $364,800 the nine months ended September 30, 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.

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 nine  months  ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to the 1998
period reflecting lower interest expense and suspended recognition of losses for
those limited  partnerships  reaching  zero balance in their related  investment
account.
