NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 and six months ended September 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 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. Wilfred
N. Cooper,  Jr., President of Associates,  owns 2.1% of the outstanding stock of
Associates.  The  business of the  Partnership  is conducted  primarily  through
Associates as neither TCP IV nor the Partnership have employees of their own.

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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, 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 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 (see Note 2).

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.  The
Partnership had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2000 and March 31, 2000.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At September 30, 2000,  the  Partnership  maintained a cash balance at a certain
financial institution in excess of the maximum federally insured amounts.

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.

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 periods
presented,  the Partnership has no elements of other  comprehensive  income,  as
defined by SFAS No. 130.

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.  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

Partnerships  could be impaired  and the loss and  recapture  of the related tax
credits could occur.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement the Partnership is obligated to the
General Partner or its affiliates for the following items:

(a)  Annual Asset  Management  Fee. An annual asset  management fee equal to the
     greater amount of (i) $2,000 for each apartment complex,  or (ii) 0.275% of
     Gross  Proceeds.  The base fee amount  will be adjusted  annually  based on
     changes to the Consumer Price Index.  However,  in no event will the annual
     asset  management  fee  exceed  0.2% of the  invested  assets  of the Local
     Limited  Partnerships,  including the Partnership's  allocable share of the
     mortgages.  Asset  management fees of $21,000 were incurred for each of the
     six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The Partnership  paid $12,500
     and $0 of those asset management fees during the six months ended September
     30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

(b)  A subordinated  disposition fee in an amount equal to 1% of the sales price
     of real estate  sold.  Payment of this fee is  subordinated  to the limited
     partners  receiving a preferred return of 16% through December 31, 2003 and
     6% thereafter (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and is payable only
     if the  General  Partner or its  affiliates  render  services  in the sales
     effort.

The accrued fees and advances due to General Partner and affiliates  consists of

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

The  Partnership  will not make a provision  for income taxes since all items of
taxable income and loss will be allocated to the partners for inclusion in their
respective income tax returns.

NOTE 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

One of the Local Limited  Partnerships is currently undergoing an audit with the
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").  The Partnership's  original investment in the
Local Limited  Partnership  was $271,544.  The outcome of the audit is currently
unknown;  however,  should the IRS's  conclusions  be less than  favorable,  the
Partnership  could be subject to the  disallowance  of certain  expenses and tax
credits, and the recapture of a portion of the tax credits previously taken

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
three and six months ended  September  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 September 30, 2000 consisted  primarily of $326,000
in cash and aggregate  investments in the twenty-one Local Limited  Partnerships
of $3,150,000. Liabilities at September 30, 2000 consisted primarily of $112,000
in accrued asset management fees.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended  September 30, 2000 Compared to Three Months Ended  September
30, 1999. The  Partnership's  net loss for the three months ended  September 30,
2000  was  $(205,000),  reflecting  a  decrease  of  $9,000  from  the net  loss
experienced  for the three months ended  September 30, 1999 of  $(214,000).  The
decline in net loss is primarily due to a decrease of $11,000 in certain  losses
of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  not  recognized  by the  Partnership.  The
investments in such Local Limited  Partnerships  had reached $0 at September 30,
2000.  Since the  Partnership's  liability  with respect to its  investments  is
limited, losses in excess of investment are not recognized.

Six Months Ended  September 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended  September 30,
1999. The Partnership's net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was
$(402,000),  reflecting a decrease of $27,000 from the net loss  experienced for
the six months ended  September 30, 1999 of $(429,000).  The decline in net loss
is primarily due to equity in losses from limited  partnerships  which decreased
by $27,000  to  $(360,000)  for the six months  ended  September  30,  2000 from
$(387,000)  for the six months ended  September  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 September 30, 2000.  Since the  partnership's  liability  with respect to its
investments is limited, losses in excess of investment are not recognized.

Cash Flows

Six Months Ended  September 30, 2000 Compared to Six Months Ended  September 30,
1999.  Net increase in cash during the six months ended  September  30, 2000 was
$16,000  compared to a net decrease in cash for the six months  ended  September
30, 1999 of $3,000.  The $19,000  increase  was due  primarily to an increase in
distributions  received from certain Local Limited  Partnerships of $8,000 and a
collection of a receivable of $18,000  offset by an increase in accrued fees and
expenses paid to the General Partner and affiliates of $7,000.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at September 30, 2000, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.
