PART I.
Item 1. Business
Organization
WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P. ("CHTC" or the "Partnership") is a
California Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California
on September 13, 1990. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership
interests in other limited partnerships or limited liability companies ("Local
Limited Partnerships") which own multifamily housing complexes that are eligible
for low-income housing federal and in certain cases, California income tax
credits ("Low Income Housing Credit").
The general partner of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credit Partners, L.P. (the
"General Partner"). WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates") and Wilfred N. Cooper,
Sr. are the general partners of WNC Tax Credit Partners, L.P. 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 January 22, 1991, the Partnership commenced a public offering of
20,000 units of limited partnership interest ("Units") at a price of $1,000 per
Unit. As of the close of the public offering on January 21, 1993, a total of
17,726 Units representing $17,726,000 had been sold. 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 the 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 fifteen Local Limited
Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships owns a Housing Complex
that is eligible for the federal Low Income Housing Credit and twelve of them
were eligible for the California 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 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 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 fifteen Housing Complexes as of December 31, 1998 and

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 $380,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the fifteen Local Limited Partnerships of
$6,440,000. Liabilities at December 31, 1998 primarily consisted of $1,044,000
of accrued annual management fees due to the General Partners.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. The
Partnership's net loss for 1998 was $(1,057,000), reflecting a decrease of
$384,000 from the net loss experienced in 1997. The decline in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses from limited partnerships which declined to
$(783,000) in 1998 from $(1,156,000) in 1997. This decrease was a result of the
Partnership not recognizing certain losses of the Local Limited Partnerships.
The investments in such Local Limited Partnerships reached $0 during 1998. Since
the Partnership's liability with respect to its investments is limited, losses
in excess of investment are not recognized. Other operating expenses also
fluctuate $(8,000) to $(10,000) per year, depending on the needs of the
Partnership.
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996. The
Partnership's net loss for 1997 was $(1,441,000), reflecting an increase of
$(47,000) from the net loss experienced in 1996. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to a $(27,000) increase in recognized losses from limited
partnerships and an $(11,000) decline in interest income commensurate with a
decline in cash available for investment. Other operating expenses also
fluctuate $(8,000) to $(10,000) per year, depending on the needs of the
Partnership.
Cash Flows
Year Ended December 31, 1998 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1997. The net
decrease in cash used in operating activities of $82,000 was primarily due to an
increase in the deferral of fees and expenses due to the General Partner and
affiliates. Net cash provided by investing activities increased to $16,000 in
1998 compared to a use of $(45,000) in 1997 primarily as a result of the
Partnership making its final, scheduled capital contributions to Local Limited
Partnerships in 1997.
Year Ended December 31, 1997 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1996. The net
change in cash and cash equivalents declined to a net use of cash of $(140,000)
in 1997 compared to $(596,000) in 1996. The decline in cash uses is primarily as
a result of the Partnership making its final, scheduled capital contributions to
Local Limited Partnerships in 1997, net of recovery of certain loans made to the
Local Limited Partnerships.
During 1998 accrued payables, which consist of related party management fees due
to the General Partner, increased by $208,000. The General Partner does not
anticipate that these accrued fees will be paid until such time as capital
reserves are in excess of future forseeable working capital requirements of the
partnership.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at December 31, 1998, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
Impact of Year 2000 Issue
The General Partner has assessed the Partnership's exposure to date sensitive
computer systems that may not be operative subsequent to 1999. As a result of
this assessment, the General Partner has executed a plan to minimize the
Partnership's exposure to financial loss and/or disruption of normal business
operations that may occur as a result of Year 2000 non-compliant computer
systems.
Business Computer Systems
These systems include both computer hardware and software applications relating
to operations such as financial reporting. The Partnership does not maintain its
own systems and thus utilizes the computer systems of the General Partner. The
General Partner developed a compliance plan for each of its business computer
systems, with particular attention given to critical systems. The General
Partner contracted with an outside vendor to evaluate, test and repair such
systems. The assessment consisted of determining the compliance with Year 2000
of critical computer hardware and software. Incidences of non-compliance were
found with respect to computer software applications and were corrected. The
vendor found no instances of non-compliance with respect to computer hardware.
The amount expended and to be expended by the General Partner is nominal.
10
<PAGE>
The Local General Partners or property managers maintain the business computer
systems that relate to the operations of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
General Partner is in the process of obtaining completed questionnaires from
such Local General Partners and property management companies to assess their
respective Year 2000 readiness. The General Partner intends to identify those
Local General Partners and property management companies that have systems
critical to the operations of the Local Limited Partnerships that are not Year
2000 compliant. For those Local General Partners and property management
companies which have business computer systems which will not be Year 2000
compliant prior to the Year 2000 and where the lack of such compliance is
determined to have a potential material effect on the Partnership's financial
condition and results of operations, the General Partner intends to develop
contingency plans which may include changing property management companies.
Outside Vendors
The General Partner has obtained assurances from its suppliers of electrical
power and banking and telecommunication services that their critical systems are
all Year 2000 compliant. There exists, however, inherent uncertainty that all
systems of outside vendors or other third parties on which the General Partner,
and thus the Partnership, and the Local General Partners and property management
companies, and thus the Local Limited Partnerships rely will be Year 2000
compliant. Therefore, the Partnership remains susceptible to the consequences of
third party critical computer systems being non-compliant.
Personal Computers
The General Partner has determined that its personal computers and related
software critical to the operations of the Partnership are Year 2000 compliant.

Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Partners
WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC California Housing Tax
Credits II, L.P. (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. We did not
audit the financial statements of the limited partnerships in which WNC
California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P. is a limited partner. These investments,
as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, are accounted for by the
equity method. The investments in these limited partnerships represented 94% of
the total assets of WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P., at December 31,
1998. 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

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners
WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of WNC California Housing Tax
Credits II, L.P. ( a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1997, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
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 California Housing Tax
Credits II, L.P. is a limited partner. These investments, as discussed in Note 2
to the financial statements, are accounted for by the equity method. The
investments in these limited partnerships represented 95% of the total assets of
WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P. 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 audits 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 audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of the other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P. (a
California Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1997, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
WNC California Housing Tax Credits II, L.P. a California Limited Partnership
(the "Partnership"), was formed on September 13, 1990 under the laws of the
State of California. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other
limited partnerships (the "Local Limited Partnerships") which own and operate
multi-family housing complexes (the "Housing Complex") that are eligible for low
income housing tax 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 Tax Credit Partners, L.P. (the "General Partner").
WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") and Wilfred N. Cooper are the general partners of
WNC Tax Credit Partners, L.P. and Wilfred N. Cooper Sr., through the Cooper
Revocable Trust owns just less then 66.8% of the outstanding stock of WNC.
The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2045
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 20,000 units of Limited
Partnership Interests at $1,000 per Unit ("Units"). The offering of Units
concluded in January 1993 at which time 17,726 Units, representing subscriptions
in the amount of $17,726,000, had been accepted. 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.
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 a
subordinated disposition fee (as described in Note 3), 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
Complexes receive government financing or operating subsidies, they may be
subject to one or more of the following risks: difficulties in obtaining tenants

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
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 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 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
Partnerships 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 2).
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 with selling limited
partnership interests in the Partnership. The General Partner is obligated to
pay all offering and organization costs in excess of 15% (including sales
commissions) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are reflected as
a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $2,389,519 as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997.
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.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk
At 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 income 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.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership
interests in fifteen Local Limited Partnerships each of which owns one Housing
Complex consisting of an aggregate of 786 apartment units. 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 Limited
Partnerships.
The Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships as shown in the
balance sheets as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 are approximately $1,835,000 and
$1,328,000, respectively, greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the
Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements. This difference is primarily
due to unrecorded losses, as discussed below, and acquisition, selection and
other costs related to the acquisition of the investments which have been
capitalized in the Partnership's investment account (see Note 3).
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.
At December 31, 1998, the investment accounts in certain Local Limited
Partnerships have reached a zero balance. Consequently, the Partnership's share
of losses during the year ended December 31, 1998 amounting to approximately
$567,892 have not been recognized. As of December 31, 1998, the aggregate share
of net losses not recognized by the Partnership amounted to $720,667.

Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses
and have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited
Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital
contributions by the Partnership may be required to sustain the operations of
such Local Limited Partnerships. If additional capital contributions are not
made when they are required, the Partnership's investment in certain of such
Local Limited Partnerships could be impaired.
NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership has paid or is
obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for the following items:
Acquisition fees equal to 9% of the gross proceeds from the sale of
Units as compensation for services rendered in connection with the
acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships. As of December 31, 1998 and
1997, the Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $1,595,340.
Accumulated amortization of these capitalized costs was $351,380 and
$298,204 at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Reimbursement of costs incurred by an affiliate of the General Partner
in connection with the acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships. These
reimbursements have not exceeded 1.7% of the gross proceeds. As of
December 31, 1998 and 1997, the Partnership incurred acquisition costs
of $1,520 which have been included in investments in limited
partnerships. Accumulated amortization was insignificant for 1998 and
1997.
An annual management fee equal to 0.5% of the invested assets of the
Local Limited Partnerships, including the Partnership's allocable share
of the mortgages. Management fees of $210,084, $210,084 and $209,807
were incurred for 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of which $0,
$75,000 and $75,000 were paid in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
A subordinated disposition fee in an amount equal to 1% of the sales
price of real estate sold. Payment of this fee to the General Partner is
subordinated to the limited partners who receive a 6% preferred return
(as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and is payable only if the
General Partner or its affiliates render services in the sales effort.

accounting principles.
(iii) The decision to change accountants was approved by the board of
directors of WNC & Associates, Inc., the general partner of the
Partnership.
(iv) During the last two fiscal years and subsequent interim period of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For The Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The partnership was organized to develop and operate low-income housing in the
City of Mecca, California. The property included in the financial statements
consists of sixty units of rental housing. The partnership has entered into an
agreement with the State of California Tax Credit Allowance Committee; under the
terms of which the partnership will be allocated federal low-income housing
credits which will be passed through to the partners for the ten year period
following initial occupancy of the housing. The credits are to be 8.72% of the
eligible basis up to a maximum credit of $387,873 per year. Agreements with the
Tax Credit Allocation Committee and the lender place substantial restrictions on
the use and operation of the housing, including restrictions on rents,
expenditures and withdrawals and requirements that various restricted cash
deposits be maintained.
NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The partnership uses the accrual basis, in that income is recorded as earned and
expenses as they are incurred.
Income from rents is recorded at the gross potential amount, with losses due to
vacancy of bad debts shown as reductions of income and free or reduced-rate
occupancy by on-site employees is shown as an expense. Losses from bad debts are
recorded at the time a tenant vacates a unit owing more than the amount of the
security deposit.
Expenses incurred that expire over a period of time are pro-rated over the time
period.
Property and equipment is recorded at cost; depreciation is provided using the
straight-line method over estimated lives of 40 years for the building and 5 to
7 years for furnishings. Repairs and routine replacement of assets will be
recorded as a current expense. Major renovations or replacements of a
significant part of a group of assets are recorded as additions to property and
disposal of the assets being replaced.
Estimates are used to determine amounts in financial statements. Actual results
may vary from those estimates.
Expenses being incurred during the construction period related to the
organization or to financing have been deferred. These costs will be amortized
over a thirty-year period on the straight-line method for $219,053 of financing
costs, and a five-year period for $135,099 of organization costs.
During 1996 the developer, formerly a general partner, was required to pay
certain costs and expenses under the terms of a completion guarantee. Of the
amount so paid, $494,597, $144,920 has been applied as a reduction of 1996
interest expense, $137,291 as reimbursement of 1995 interest expense, $91,378 as
reimbursement of financing costs, and the balance $121,006, as a reduction of
the developer's fee.
