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 financial statements for the period ended
December 31, 1996 (audited).
In the opinion of the General Partner, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30,
1997 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.
Allocations Under the Terms of the Partnership Agreement
- --------------------------------------------------------
The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable
income and loss and in cash available for distribution from 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 sale or refinancing proceeds equal to
their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the

Partnership) and the General Partner has received a subordinated disposition fee
(as described in Note 3 below), 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.
Method of Accounting For Investment in Limited Partnerships
- -----------------------------------------------------------
The investment in limited partnerships is accounted for on the equity method of
accounting whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment balance for its share
of each limited partnership's results of operations and for any distributions
received. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments in
limited partnerships are capitalized as part of the investment account.
Losses from the limited partnerships will not be recognized to the extent that
the individual investment balance would be adjusted below zero.
Offering Expenses
- -----------------
Offering expenses will 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.
Organization Costs
- ------------------
Organization costs will be amortized on the straight-line method over 60 months.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------
The Partnership considers investments with an original maturity of three months
or less as cash equivalents.

NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
- -----------------------------------
Under the terms of its Agreement of Limited Partnership, the Partnership is
obligated to the General Partner or its affiliates for the following items:
Acquisition fees of up to 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of
Partnership units. Through September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 the
Partnership has incurred acquisition fees of $1,058,950.
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. In
either case, the fee will be decreased or increased annually based on
changes to the Consumer Price Index. However, in no event will the
maximum amount exceed 0.2 % of the invested assets (defined as the
Partnership's capital contributions to the limited partnerships plus
its allocable percentage of the permanent financing) of the limited
partnerships which are subsidized under one or more Federal, state or
local government programs. The Partnership incurred management fees of
$32,175, $42,900, $42,900, and $16,000 for the periods ended September
30, 1997, December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The
Partnership paid $161,000 of such fees to the General Partner. Such
over payment resulted in amounts due from the General Partner totaling
$27,025 as of September 30, 1997.

nine months ended September 30, 1996 of $22,713.
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 return on investment (as defined in the
Agreement of Limited Partnership) and is payable only if services are
rendered in the sales effort.
Advances and fees payable due to general partner of $14,491 and $9,339 at

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 (the Partnership) is a California
Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California on
September 27, 1993, and commenced operations on July 18, 1995 to acquire limited
partnership interests in limited partnerships ("Limited Partnerships") which own
multifamily apartment complexes that are eligible for low-income housing federal
income tax credits (the "Housing Tax Credit").
The Partnership's offering of units terminated on July 26, 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $612,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease in cash consists of cash used by
investing and cash provided by investing and operating activities. Cash was used
by the investing activities of the Partnership during such period in the
aggregate amount of approximately $656,000, which consisted of cash used in
capital contributions to Limited Partnerships and acquisition fees and expense
of approximately $654,000 and $8,000, respectively and cash provided by
distributions of approximately $6,000. Cash provided from operations consisted
primarily of interest received on cash deposits, and cash used in operations
consisted primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses. The major
components of all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.
Overall, as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2,719,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. This decrease in cash consists of cash used by
investing and financing activities and cash provided by operating activities.
Cash was used by the investing activities of the Partnership during such period
in the aggregate amount of approximately $2,751,000, which consisted of capital
contributions to Limited Partnerships and acquisition costs and fees of
approximately $2,651,000 and $103,000, respectively and cash provided by
distributions from local limited partnerships of approximately $4,000. Cash used
by financing activities consisted of payments for offering costs of
approximately $23,000. Cash provided from operations consisted primarily of
interest received on cash deposits, and cash used in operations consisted
primarily of payments for operating fees and expenses. The major components of
all these activities are discussed in greater detail below.
As of December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997 the Partnership was indebted to
WNC & Associates, Inc. in the amount of approximately $9,000 and $14,000. The
component items of such indebtedness were as follows: advances to pay front-end
fees of approximately $9,000 and $9,000, respectively, and advances for
operating expenses of $0 and $5,000, respectively.
As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership has received and accepted
subscriptions funds in the amount of $15,600,000. As of September 30, 1997 and
as of December 31, 1996, the Partnership had made capital contributions to
Limited Partnerships in the amount of approximately $10,432,000 and $9,778,000,
respectively, and had commitments for additional capital contributions of
approximately $439,000 and $667,000, respectively.
Prior to sale of the Apartment Complexes, it is not expected that any of the
Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership has invested or will invest will
generate cash from operations sufficient to provide distributions to the Limited
Partners in any material amount. Such cash from operations, if any, would first
be used to meet operating expenses of the Partnership, including payment of the
asset management fee to the General Partner. As a result, it is not anticipated
that the Partnership will provide distributions to the Limited Partners prior to
the sale of the Apartment Complexes.
13
<PAGE>
The Partnership's investments will not be readily marketable and may be affected
by adverse general economic conditions which, in turn, could substantially
increase the risk of operating losses for the Apartment Complexes, the Limited
Partnerships and the Partnership. These problems may result from a number of
factors, many of which cannot be controlled by the General Partner.
Nevertheless, the General Partner anticipates that capital raised from the sale
of the Units will be sufficient to fund the Partnership's investment commitments
and proposed operations.
The Partnership will establish working capital reserves of at least 3% of
capital contributions, an amount which is anticipated to be sufficient to
satisfy general working capital and administrative expense requirements of the
Partnership excluding payment of the asset management fee as well as expenses
attendant to the preparation of tax returns and reports to the Limited Partners
and other investor servicing obligations of the Partnership. Liquidity would,
however, be adversely affected by unanticipated or greater than anticipated
operating costs. The Partnership's liquidity could also be affected by defaults
or delays in payment of the Limited Partners' promissory notes, from which a
portion of the working capital reserves is expected to be funded. To the extent
that working capital reserves are insufficient to satisfy the cash requirements
of the Partnership, it is anticipated that additional funds would be sought
through bank loans or other institutional financing. The General Partner may
also apply any cash distributions received from the Limited Partnerships for
such purposes or to replenish or increase working capital reserves.
Under the Partnership Agreements the Partnership does not have the ability to
assess the Limited Partners for additional capital contributions to provide
capital if needed by the Partnership or Limited Partnerships. Accordingly, if
circumstances arise that cause the Limited Partnerships to require capital in
addition to that contributed by the Partnership and any equity contributed by
the general partners of the Limited Partnerships, the only sources from which
such capital needs will be able to be satisfied (other than the limited reserves
available at the Partnership level) will be (i) third-party debt financing
(which may not be available, if, as expected, the Apartment Complexes owned by
the Limited Partnerships are already substantially leveraged), (ii) additional
equity contributions or advances of the general partners of the Limited
Partnerships (in this regard, each local general partner is required to fund
operating deficits, but only for a period of two years following construction
completion), (iii) other equity sources (which could adversely affect the
Partnership's interest in Housing Tax Credits, cash flow and/or proceeds of sale
or refinancing of the Apartment Complexes and result in adverse tax consequences
to the Limited Partners), or (iv) the sale or disposition of the Apartment
Complexes (which could have the same adverse effects as discussed in (iii)
above). There can be no assurance that funds from any of such sources would be
readily available in sufficient amounts to fund the capital requirement of the
Limited Partnerships in question. If such funds are not available, the Limited
Partnerships would risk foreclosure on their Apartment Complexes if they were
unable to re-negotiate the terms of their first mortgages and any other debt
secured by the Apartment Complexes to the extent the capital requirements of the
Limited Partnerships relate to such debt.
The Partnership's capital needs and resources are expected to undergo major
changes during their first several years of operations as a result of the
completion of their offerings of Units and their acquisition of investments.
Thereafter, the Partnership's capital needs and resources are expected to be
relatively stable over the holding periods of the investments except to the
extent of proceeds received in payment of promissory notes and disbursed to fund
the deferred obligations of the Partnership.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
As of December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1997 the Partnership had acquired 20
and 21 Limited Partnership Interests, respectively. Each of the 21 Limited
Partnerships receives or is expected to receive government assistance and each
of them has received a reservation for Housing Tax Credits. As of September 30,
1997, twenty of the Apartment Complexes in the Partnership had commenced
operations.
14
<PAGE>
Accordingly, the "Equity in losses from limited partnerships" for the periods
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 reflected in the Statement of Operations of
the Partnership is not indicative of the amounts to be reported in future years.
As reflected on its Statements of Operations, the Partnership had a loss of
approximately $626,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
component items of revenue and expense are discussed below.
Revenue. The Partnership's revenues consisted entirely of interest earned on
promissory notes and cash deposits held in financial institutions (i) as
reserves, or (ii) pending investment in Limited Partnerships. Interest revenue
in future years will be a function of prevailing interest rates and the amount
of cash balances. It is anticipated that the Partnership will maintain cash
Reserves in an amount not materially in excess of the minimum amount required by
its Partnership Agreement, which is 3% of capital contributions.
Expenses. The most significant component of operating expenses was and is
expected to be the Asset Management Fee. The Asset Management Fee is equal to
the greater of (i) $2,000 for each Apartment Complex or (ii) 0.275% of gross
proceeds, and will be decreased or increased annually based on changes to the
Consumer Price Index.
Amortization expense consist of the amortization over a period of 30 years of
the Acquisition Fee and other expenses attributable to the acquisition of
Limited Partnership Interests.
Because of the amounts of the Asset Management Fee and amortization expense
primarily are determined by the gross proceeds from the offering, the number and
size of Apartment Complexes and the number of investors, until termination of
the Offering and investment of the net proceeds therefrom the Partnership cannot
predict with any accuracy what these amounts will be.
Equity in Losses from Limited Partnership. The Partnership's equity in losses
from Limited Partnerships is equal to 96%-99% of the aggregate net losses of
each Limited Partnership incurred after admission of the Partnership as a
limited partner thereof.
After rent-up all Limited Partnerships are expected to generate losses during
each year of operations; this is so because, although rental income is expected
to exceed cash operating expenses, depreciation and amortization deductions
claimed by the Limited Partnerships are expected to exceed net rental income.
The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Partnerships using the
equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership reduces its investment
balance for its share of Local Partnerships' losses and distributions. Losses
are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted
below zero.
