NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1999
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 WNC California Housing Tax Credits, L.P. (the "Partnership")
Annual Report for the year end March 31, 1999 (audited). 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 accompanying 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
ended.
Organization
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund IV, L.P., Series 2 (the "Partnership") was formed on
September 27, 1993 under the laws of the state of California and commenced
operations on July 18, 1994. 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 20,000 units at $1,000 per unit
("Units"). The offering of Units concluded in July 1995 at which time 15,600
Units representing subscriptions, net of discounts for volume purchases of more
than 100 units, in the amount of $15,241,000 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 contributions 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 - 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
Partnership 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 $1,071,172 as of December 31,
1999 and March 31, 1999.

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 highly liquid investments with maturities of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 1999
and March 31, 1999, the Partnership had cash equivalents of $0 and $0
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 had acquired limited partnership
interests in twenty-two Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one
Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate of 892 apartment units. As of
December 31, 1999, construction or rehabilitation of all of the apartment
complexes had been completed. 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 entitled to 96% to
99%, as specified in the partnership agreements, of the operating profits and
losses, taxable income and losses and tax credits of the 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
(a) Annual Asset Management Fee. An annual asset management fee of 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 changes 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 indebtedness related to the
Housing Complexes. Fees of $32,175 and $32,175 were incurred during the
nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Partnership
paid the General Partner or its affiliates $0 and $4,616 of those fees
during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
(a) 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 Partners receive 1% of the
Partnership's allocated Low Income Housing Credits, which approximated
$20,000 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 and 1998.
Accrued fees and expenses due to general partner and affiliates included in the
balance sheet consist of the following at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999:

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Financial Condition
The Partnership's assets at December 31, 1999 consisted primarily of $269,000 in
cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-two Local Limited Partnerships of
$9,530,000. Liabilities at December 31, 1999 primarily consisted of $212,000 of
payables to limited partnerships and $82,000 of accrued annual management fees
due to the General Partners.
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 $(226,000), reflecting an increase of $101,000 from the net loss experienced
for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net loss is
primarily due to equity in losses from limited partnerships which increased by
$85,000 to $(199,000) for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from
$(114,000) for the three months ended December 31, 1998. This increase was a
result of construction and rehabilitation of apartment complexes been completed,
therefore commencing operations which are expected to generate losses during
each year of operations. This is so because, although rental income is expected
to exceed operating expenses, depreciation and amortization deductions claimed
by the Limited Partnerships are expected to exceed net rental income. Along with
the increase in equity in losses from limited partnerships there was an increase
in loss from operations of $16,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999
to $(28,000), from $(11,000) for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
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
$(594,000), reflecting an increased of $78,000 from the net loss experienced for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998. The increase in net loss is primarily
due to equity in losses from limited partnerships which increase by $45,000 to
$(512,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 from $(467,000) for the
nine months ended December 31, 1998. This increase was a result of construction
and rehabilitation of apartment complexes been completed, therefore commencing
operations which are expected to generate losses during each year of operations.
This is so because, although rental income is expected to exceed operating
expenses, depreciation and amortization deductions claimed by the Limited
Partnerships are expected to exceed net rental income. Along with the increase
in equity in losses from limited partnerships there was a increase in loss from
operations of $33,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 to $(82,000),
from $(49,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.
Cash Flows
Nine Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31,
1998. Net cash used during the nine months ended December 31, 1999 was
$(284,000) reflect in a decrease of $361,000 compared to a net use of cash for
the nine months ended December 31, 1998 of $(645,000). The change was due
primarily to a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $469,000 offset
by an increase in cash used in operating activities of $108,000. The decrease in
cash used in investing activities consisted of a decrease of $716,000 in
payments for investments in limited partnerships, an increase in distributions
from limited partnerships of $17,000, offset by a decrease in loans receivable
of $259,000, and a decrease in offering expenses of $5,000.
During the nine months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, accrued payables, which
consist primarily of related party management fees due to the General Partner,
increased by $32,000 and $11,000 respectively. 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 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 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.

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.
