                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1996

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS

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  Partnership's  Annual  Report for the year ended  December 31,
1995  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,

Organization
     WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P. (the  "Partnership") was formed
on September 13, 1990 under the California Revised Limited  Partnership Act. The
Partnership was formed to invest in other local limited  partnerships which will
own and operate apartment complexes that qualify for low income housing credits.

     The  general  partner  is WNC  Tax  Credit  Partners,  L.P.  (the  "General
Partner"), a California limited partnership.  WNC & Associates, Inc. and Wilfred
N. Cooper are the general partners of WNC Tax Credit  Partners,  L.P. 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,
taxable  income  and  loss  and in cash  available  for  distribution  from  the
Partnership.  The limited  partners will be allocated the remaining 99% of these
items in proportion to their respective investments.

     After the limited partners have received sale or refinancing proceeds equal
to their capital  contributions  and their  preferred  return (as defined in the
Partnership's  Agreement  of Limited  Partnership)  and the general  partner has
received a  subordinated  disposition  fee 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.

     The  Partnership  considers  all  certificates  of deposit with an original
maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

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

         The Partnership's  primary source of capital has been the proceeds from
its  sale  of  limited  partnership  units  (the  "Offering").  The  Partnership
completed  raising funds from investors  through its public offering of units of
limited  partnership  interest  ("Units")  on  January  21,  1993 at which  time
$17,726,000  was received from the sale of units.  Such funds were, and will be,
applied to the acquisition of investments in partnerships, acquisition fees, the
establishment of reserves,  the payment of operating expenses and the payment of
expenses of this offering.  The  Partnership  has acquired  limited  partnership
interests  that  require  approximately  $12,845,000  of capital  (or 72% of the
proceeds realized from the sale of units).

Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $564,000 and $562,000 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 and 1995. The decreases in cash in was
due to the Partnership's investing activities,  primarily the payment of capital
contributions payable on investments in limited partnerships.  The cash reserves
are sufficient to fund the Partnership's  remaining capital contributions.  Cash
used by the  Partnership's  operating  activities  was  minimal  compared to the
Partnership's other activities and consisted primarily of payments for operating
fees and expenses. Cash provided from operations consisted primarily of interest
received.  The major components of all these activities are discussed in greater
detail below.

As of September 30, 1996,  the  Partnership  had made capital  contributions  to
local limited partnerships in the amount of approximately $12,840,000.

The Partnership's investments will not be 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.
Nevertheless,  the General Partner anticipates that capital raised from the sale
of  the  Units  is  sufficient  to  fund  the  Partnership's  future  investment
commitments and proposed operations.

The Partnership has established  working capital reserves of approximately  4.3%
of capital  contributions,  an amount which is  anticipated  to be sufficient to
satisfy general working capital and administrative  expense  requirements of the
Partnership  including  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 the  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
because 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 re-negotiate 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 undergo major
changes at least  through 1995 as a result of the  completion of its offering of
units and its acquisition of investments.  Thereafter, the Partnership's capital
needs and  resources  are  expected  to be  relatively  stable  over the holding
periods of the investments.

  As of  September  30,  1996 the  Partnership  has  acquired  15 local  limited
partnership  interests.  Each of the 15 apartment  complexes owned by such local
limited  partnerships  received or is expected to receive government  assistance
and each of them has  received a  reservation  for  federal  low income  housing
credits.  All of these had completed  construction of their apartment complex as
of September 30, 1996.

Consistent  with the  Partnership's  investment  objectives,  each local limited
partnership is generating or is expected to generate  federal low income housing
credits for a period of approximately  ten years,  commencing with completion of
construction or rehabilitation of its apartment  complex(es),  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 a loss of
approximately $1,365,000 and $1,056,000 the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and  1995,  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  (i) as  reserves,  or  (ii)  pending
investment in local limited partnerships.  Interest revenue in future years will
be a function of prevailing  interest rates and the amount of cash balances.  It
is anticipated that the Partnership will maintain cash reserves in an amount not
materially  in  excess  of  the  minimum  amount  required  by  its  partnership
agreement, which is 3% of capital contributions.

Expenses - The most  significant  component  of  operating  expenses  is, and is
expected to be, the asset management fee (called "Partnership management fee" in
the  Statements of  Operations).  The asset  management  fee is equal to 0.5% of
invested  assets in local limited  partnerships;  accordingly,  the amount to be
incurred in the future is a function of the level of such invested assets (i.e.,
the  sum  of the  Partnership's  capital  contributions  to  the  local  limited
partnerships plus the Partnership's  share of the debts related to the apartment
complexes owned by such local limited partnerships).

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 local
limited partnership interests.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>


Office  expenses  and  legal  and  accounting   consists  of  the  Partnership's
administrative  expenses,  such as accounting  and legal fees,  bank charges and
investor reporting expenses.

Equity in losses from local limited  partnerships - The Partnership's  equity in
losses from local limited partnerships is equal to 99% of the aggregate net loss
of the local limited partnerships. After rent-up, the local 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  local  limited
partnerships are expected to exceed net rental income.


As of September 30, 1996, the  Partnership had invested in fifteen local limited
partnerships.  All of which completed construction of their respective apartment
complex as of December 31, 1996.

As of  September  30, 1995,  the  Partnership  had  invested in fifteen  limited
partnerships.  All of these  had  completed  construction  of  their  respective
apartment complex as of September 30, 1995 the final Apartment Complex completed
construction  in May 1995,  consequently,  the 1995  operating  results  are not
comparable to future periods.
