NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999
(unaudited)
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 WNC California Housing Tax Credits, L.P. (the "Partnership") Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1999. 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 unaudited financial statements contain
all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to
present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1999 and the results of
operations and changes in cash flows for the three months then ended.
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. Wilfred N. Cooper Sr., through the Cooper
Revocable Trust owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of WNC. 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 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 Partnership Agreement authorized the sale of up to 20,000 units 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, taxable income and losses, cash available for distribution from the
Partnership and tax credits of 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 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 proceeds
equal to its capital contribution and a subordinated disposition fee from the
remainder, 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.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS, continued
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
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 on 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.
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 at the end
of all periods presented.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS, continued
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.
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. As of
June 30, 1999 and March 31, 1999, the Partnership had cash equivalents of
$370,620 and $364,853, respectively.
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 loss 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.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
As of the periods presented, 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, taxable income and
losses and tax credits of the Limited Partnerships.
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.

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:
(a) Annual Asset Management Fee. An annual asset management fee in an amount
equal to 0.5% of the Invested Assets of the Partnership, as defined.
"Invested Assets" means the sum of the Partnership's Investment in Local
Limited Partnership Interests and the Partnership's allocable share of the
amount of the mortgage loans on and other debts related to, the Housing
Complexes owned by such Local Limited Partnerships. Fees of $52,521 were
incurred during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. The Partnership paid the General Partner or its affiliates $0
of those fees during the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
(b) Subordinated Disposition Fee. A subordinated disposition fee in an amount
equal to 1% of the sale price received in connection with the sale or
disposition of a Housing Complex or Local Limited Partnership Interest.
Subordinated disposition fees will be subordinated to the prior return of
the Limited Partners' capital contributions and payment of the Preferred
Return on investment to the Limited Partners. "Preferred Return" means an
annual, cumulative but not compounded, "return" to the Limited Partners
(including Low Income Housing Credits) as a class on their adjusted capital
contributions commencing for each Limited Partner on the last day of the
calendar quarter during which the Limited Partner's capital contribution is
received by the Partnership, calculated at the following rates: (i) 16%
through December 31, 2001, and (ii) 6% for the balance of the Partnerships
term. No disposition fees have been paid.
(c) Interest in Partnership. The General Partners receive 1% of the
Partnership's allocated Low Income Tax Housing Credits, which approximated
$22,000 for the General Partner for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
General Partners are also entitled to receive 1% of cash distributions.
There were no distributions of cash to the General Partners during the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
The "accrued fees and expenses due to general partner and affiliates" presented
on the balance sheets consists of the following:
June 30, 1999 March 31, 1999
------------- --------------
Asset management fee payable $ 1,130,589 $ 1,078,068
Reimbursement for expenses paid
by an affiliate 6,916 (683)
--------- ---------
$ 1,137,505 $ 1,077,385

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES
No provision for income taxes has been made as the liability for income taxes is
an obligation of the partners of the Partnership.

<PAGE>
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at June 30, 1999 consisted primarily of $371,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the eleven Local Limited Partnerships of
$6,046,000. Liabilities at June 30, 1999 primarily consisted of $1,141,000 of
accrued annual management fees due to the General Partners.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$(249,000), reflecting a decrease of $19,000 from the net loss experienced for
the three months ended June 30, 1998. The decline in net loss is primarily due
to equity in losses from limited partnerships which declined by $10,000 to
$(178,000) for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $(188,000) for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. This decrease was a result of the Partnership
not recognizing certain losses of the Local Limited Partnerships. The
investments in such Local Limited Partnerships had reached $0 at June 30, 1999.
Since the Partnership's liability with respect to its investments is limited,
losses in excess of investment are not recognized. Along with the decrease in
equity in losses from limited partnerships there was a decrease in loss from
operations of $9,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $(70,000), from
$(79,000) for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to a comparable increase
in operating expense allocations.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1998.
Net cash provided during the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $6,000
compared to a net decrease in cash for the three months ended June 30, 1998 of
$(12,000). The change was due primarily to a decrease in operating expenses of
$14,000, a decrease in cash paid to third parties of $7,000, and an increase in
distributions from limited partnerships of $1,000, offset by a decrease in
income of $5,000.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999 and the year ended March 31, 1999,
accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party management fees due
to the General Partner, increased by $53,000 and $53,000, respectively. The
General Partner does not anticipate that these accrued fees will be paid until
such time as capital reserves are in excess of future foreseeable working
capital requirements of the partnership.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at June 30, 1999, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
Impact of Year 2000
WNC & Associates, Inc.
Status of Readiness
Information Technology (IT) Systems. The Partnership relies on the IT systems of
WNC, its general partner. IT systems include computer hardware and software used
to produce financial reports and tax return information. This information is
then used to generate reports to investors and regulatory agencies, including
the Internal Revenue Service and the Securities and Exchange Commission. The IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.
Non-IT Systems. The Partnership also relies on the non-IT systems of WNC. Non-IT
systems include machinery and equipment such as telephones, voice mail and
electronic postage equipment. Except for one telephone system, the non-IT
systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant. The one telephone system will require
the replacement of one computer and one software application, both of which will
be completed on or before October 1, 1999.
11
<PAGE>
Service Providers. WNC also relies on the IT and non-IT systems of service
providers. Service providers include utility companies, financial institutions,
telecommunications carriers, municipalities, and other outside vendors. WNC has
obtained verbal assurances from its material service providers (electrical power
provider, financial institutions and telecommunications carriers) that their IT
and non-IT systems are year 2000 compliant. There can be no assurance that this
compliance information is correct. There also can be no assurance that the
systems of other, less-important service providers and outside vendors will be
year 2000 compliant.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues
The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $20,000. The
cost to replace the telephone system noted above will be less than $5,000. The
cost to deal with potential year 2000 issues of other outside vendors cannot be
estimated at this time.
Risk of Year 2000 Issues
The most reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance of systems
of the service providers noted above will be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption would, in turn, lead to delays in performing
reporting and fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst
case scenario would be the replacement of a service provider. These delays would
likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on the
Partnership or WNC.
Local Limited Partnerships
Status of Readiness
WNC is in the process of obtaining year 2000 certifications from each Local
General Partner of each Local Limited Partnership. Those certifications will
represent to the Partnership that the IT and non-IT systems critical to the
operation of the Housing Complexes and investor reporting to the Partnership are
year 2000 compliant. These certifications will also represent to the Partnership
that the IT and non-IT systems of property management companies, independent
accountants, electrical power providers, financial institutions and
telecommunications carriers used by the Local Limited Partnership are year 2000
compliant.
There can be no assurance that the representations in the certifications will be
correct. There also can be no assurance that the systems of other,
less-important service providers and outside vendors, upon which the Local
Limited Partnerships rely, will be year 2000 compliant.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues
There will be no cost to the Partnership as a result of assessing year 2000
issues for the Local Limited Partnerships. The cost to deal with potential year
2000 issues of the Local Limited Partnerships cannot be estimated at this time.
Risk of Year 2000 Issues
There may be Local General Partners who indicate that they or their property
management company are not year 2000 compliant and do not have plans to become
year 2000 compliant before the end of 1999. There may be other Local General
Partners who are unwilling to respond to the certification request. The most
likely result of either non-compliance or failure to respond will be the removal
and replacement of the property management company and/or the Local General
Partner with year 2000 compliant operators.
Despite the efforts to obtain certifications, there can be no assurance that the
Partnership will be unaffected by year 2000 issues. The most reasonable and
likely result from non-year 2000 compliance will be the disruption of normal
business operations for the Local Limited Partnerships, including but not
limited to the possible failure to properly collect rents and meet their
obligations in a timely manner. This disruption would, in turn, lead to delays
by the Local Limited Partnerships in performing reporting and fiduciary
responsibilities on behalf of the Partnership. The worst-case scenario would
include the initiation of foreclosure proceedings on the property by mortgage
debt holders. Under these circumstances, WNC or its affiliates will take actions
necessary to minimize the risk of foreclosure, including the removal and
replacement of a Local General Partner by the Partnership. These delays would
likely be temporary and would likely not have a material effect on the
Partnership or WNC.
