NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND OTHER MATTERS
General
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly
reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March
31, 2001. For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.
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, 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 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. Wilfred
N. Cooper, Jr., President of WNC, owns 2.1% of the outstanding stock of WNC. The
business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through WNC, as the
Partnership has no employees of its own.
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 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 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 the 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, 2000 and March 31, 2000, the Partnership had cash equivalents of
$292,203 and $314,630, 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 - INVESTMENTS 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 Investments in Local
Limited Partnerships 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 each of the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. The
Partnership paid the General Partner or its affiliates $0 of those fees
during each of the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
(b) Subordinated Disposition Fee. 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

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements concerning the
Partnership's anticipated future revenues and earnings, adequacy of future cash
flow and related matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements containing the words "expect", "believe", "will", "may",
"should", "project", "estimate", and like expressions, and the negative thereof.
These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the statements, including competition, as well
as those risks described in the Partnership's SEC reports, including the
Partnership's Form 10-K filed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934 on June 29, 2000.
The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, and should be read in conjunction
with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes
included within this report.
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at June 30, 2000 consisted primarily of $292,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the fifteenLocal Limited Partnerships of
$5,246,000. Liabilities at June 30, 2000 primarily consisted of $1,331,000 of
accrued annual management fees due to the General Partner.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999.
The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$(250,000), reflecting an increase of $1,000 from the net loss of $(249,000)
experienced for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net loss
is primarily due to equity in losses of limited partnerships which increased by
$5,000 to $(183,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $(178,000)
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Along with the increase in equity in
losses of limited partnerships, there was a decrease in loss from operations of
$3,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $(67,000) from $(70,000) for
the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Cash Flows
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 1999.
Net cash used during the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $(22,000) compared
to a net increase in cash for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of $6,000.
The change was due primarily to an increase in funds advanced to one local
limited partnership of $18,000, an increase in expenses paid to the General
Partner and affiliates of $8,000, an increase in other assets of $3,000, and a
decrease in distribution income of $3,000, offset by a decrease in expenses paid
to third parties of $3,000.
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, accrued payables, which consist
primarily of related party management fees due to the General Partner, increased
by $53,000. The General Partner does not anticipate that these accrued fees will
be paid until such time as capital reserves are in excess of future foreseeable
working capital requirements of the Partnership.
The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available
assets at June 30, 2000, 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 ultimate general partner. IT systems include computer hardware and
11
<PAGE>
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. The non-IT systems of WNC are year 2000 compliant.
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. To date, WNC has not encountered
significant year 2000 issues or business disruptions from its service providers.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues
The cost to address year 2000 issues for WNC has been less than $25,000.
Risk of Year 2000 Issues
Although WNC has encountered no significant year 2000 issues to date, the most
reasonable and likely result from non-year 2000 compliance of systems of the
service providers noted above would be the disruption of normal business
operations for WNC. This disruption could, 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
To date, WNC and the Partnership have encountered no significant year 2000
issues with respect to the Local Limited Partnerships.
Costs to Address Year 2000 Issues
There has been and will be no cost to the Partnership as a result of assessing
year 2000 issues for the Local Limited Partnerships. Although no significant
year 2000 issues have been encountered to date, 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
Although no significant year 2000 issues have been encountered to date, 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.
