NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 audited  financial  statements  and related  notes thereto
contained in the Partnership's  Annual Report 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  General  Partner,  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.

Organization

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 1, a California Limited Partnership
(the  "Partnership"),  was  formed on May 4, 1993 under the laws of the state of
California,  and commenced  operations on October 20, 1993. 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 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,  IV,  L.P.  (the  "General
Partner"), a California limited partnership.  WNC & Associates,  Inc. ("WNC") is
the general partner of the General Partner.  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  Agreement  authorized the sale of up to 10,000 units at $1,000
per Unit  ("Units").  The offering of Units concluded in July 1994 at which time
10,000 Units in the amount of $10,000,000 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.  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 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 subordinated  disposition fee (as described in Note
3) 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.

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 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 $1,356,705 at the end
of all periods presented.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, 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.  There
were no cash equivalents as of June 30, 1999

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 had acquired limited  partnership
interests  in  twenty-one  Local  Limited  Partnerships,  each of which owns one
housing  complex,  consisting  of an aggregate  of 812  apartment  units.  As of
December 31, 1998,  construction on all multifamily complexes was complete.  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 Local Limited Partnerships.

Equity in losses of 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.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has no officers,  employees,  or directors.  However,  under the
terms of the  Partnership  Agreement the Partnership is obligated to the General
Partner or its  affiliates  during the current or future years for the following
fees:

(a)  Annual Asset  Management Fee. An annual asset management fee the greater of
     (i)  $2,000  per  multi-family  housing  complex,  or (ii)  0.275% of Gross
     Proceeds. The base fee amount will be adjusted annually based on the change
     in the  Consumer  Price Index.  However,  in no event will the annual asset
     management fee exceed 0.2% of Invested Assets.  "Invested Assets" means the
     sum of the Partnership's  investment in Local Limited  Partnerships and the
     Partnership's  allocable share of the amount of the indebtedness related to
     the Housing Complexes. Fees of $10,500 and $10,000 were incurred during the
     three  months  ended  June 30,  1999 and the year  ended  March  31,  1999,
     respectively. The Partnership paid the General Partner or its affiliates $0
     and $33,690 of those fees during the three  months  ended June 30, 1999 and
     the year ended March 30, 1999, respectively.

(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.  Subordinated  disposition  fees will be
     subordinated  to  the  prior  return  of  the  Limited   Partners'  capital
     contributions  and  payment  of the  return on  investment  to the  Limited
     Partners.  "Return  on  Investment"  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, 2003, and
     (ii) 6% for the balance of the Partnership's term. No disposition fees have
     been paid.

(c)  Interest  in  Partnership.   The  General   Partner   receives  1%  of  the
     Partnership's  allocated Low Income  Housing  Credits,  which  approximated
     $14,000 for the General  Partner for the year ended  December 31, 1998. The
     General Partner is also entitled to receive 1% of cash distributions. There
     were no  distributions  of cash to the  General  Partner  during  the three
     months ended June 30, 1999 or the year ended March 31, 1999.

The accrued fees and advances 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               $     88,477          $       77,977
Reimbursement for expenses paid by and
  affiliate of the General Partner.               7,884                   2,963
                                               --------                --------

                                           $     96,361          $       80,940
                                               ========                ========
NOTE 4 - PAYABLE TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

Payable  to limited  partnerships  represents  amounts  which are due at various
times  based on  conditions  specified  in the  respective  limited  partnership
agreements.  These contributions are payable in installments,  are generally due
upon the limited  partnerships  achieving certain  operating  benchmarks and are
generally  expected  to be paid  within two years of the  Partnership's  initial
investment.

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 $348,000 in
cash and aggregate  investments in the twenty-one Local Limited  Partnerships of
$4,092,000.  Liabilities  at June 30, 1999 were  $122,000  of which  $88,000 was
accrued annual  management fees, $8,000 was for expenses paid by an affiliate of
the  General  Partner due to the General  Partner or  affiliate  and $25,000 was
payable to limited partnerships.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998.
The  Partnership's  net loss  for the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1999 was
$(215,000),  reflecting a decrease of $10,000 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  decline  by $9,000 to
$(196,000) for the three months ended June30, 1999 from $(205,000) for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.  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.

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  $7,000
compared to a net  decrease in cash for the three  months ended June 31, 1998 of
$(79,000).  The change was due to a  decrease  in net cash used in by  operating
activities  of $3,000,  offset by an  $82,000  decline  in  investments  made to
limited partnerships.

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 ultimate  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.

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.

                                       13

<PAGE>
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.

                                       14

<PAGE>


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.
