NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
(Unaudited)
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 December 31, 1999 and the results
of operations and changes in cash flows for the nine 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.

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.
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 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.
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 $32,000 and $30,000 were incurred during the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. No management fees have been
paid during the nine months ended December 31, 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. 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 nine months
ended December 31, 1999 or 1998.
The accrued fees and expenses due to General Partner and affiliates presented on
the balance sheets consists of the following:
December 31, 1999 March 31, 1999
----------------- --------------
Reimbursement due on expenses
paid by affiliate $ 5,710 $ 2,963
Asset management fees 109,977 77,977
-------------- -------------

============== =============
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.
NOTE 5 - 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 December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of $326,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships of
$3,694,000. Liabilities at December 31, 1999 were $124,000 of which $110,000 was
accrued annual management fees, $6,000 was for expenses paid by an affiliate of
the General Partner due to the General Partner or affiliate and $8,000 was
payable to limited partnerships.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31,
1998. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended December 31, 1999
was $(209,000), reflecting an increase of $1,000 from the net loss experienced
for the three months ended September 30, 1998. There was a decrease in operating
expenses of $36,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998, offset by
equity in losses from limited partnerships which increase by $36,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1999, and a decrease in interest income of $
1,000.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31,
1998. The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 was
$(638,000), reflecting a decrease of $14,000 from the net loss experienced for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The decline in net loss is primarily
due to a decrease of $57,000 in operating expenses, offset by an increase in
equity in loss from limited partnerships of $33,000, and a decrease in interest
income of $10,000.
Cash Flows
Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31,
1998. Net cash used in during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 was
$(16,000) reflecting a decrease in cash used of $373,000 compared to a net
decrease in cash for the nine months ended December 31, 1998 of $(389,000). The
change was primarily due to a decrease in payments to investment in limited
partnerships of $318,000, along with a decrease in operating expenses paid of
$57,000, a decrease in payment of acquisition costs and fees paid of $6,000, and
an increase in distributions of $6,000. These decreases in cash used were offset
primarily by a decrease in interest income received of $10,000.
During the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and the nine months ended
December 31, 1998, accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party
management fees due to the General Partner, increased by $35,000. The General
Partner does not anticipate that these accrued fees will be paid in full 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 December 31, 1999, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable
future cash requirements.

<PAGE>
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 December 15, 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.
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.
13
<PAGE>
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.
