WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006, SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 AND DECEMBER 31, 2006 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 nine months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. 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, 2007. Organization ------------ 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. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership interests in other limited partnerships ("Local Limited Partnerships") which owns multi-family housing complexes ("Housing Complexes") that are eligible for Federal low income housing tax credits ("Low Income Housing Tax Credits"). The local general partners (the "Local General Partners") of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complex. Each Local Limited Partnership is governed by its agreement of limited partnership (the "Local Limited Partnership Agreement"). The general partner of the Partnership is WNC Tax Credit Partners IV, L.P. (the "General Partner"). The general partner of the General Partner is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates"). The chairman and president of Associates own substantially all of the outstanding stock of Associates. The business of the Partnership is conducted primarily through the General Partner, as the Partnership has no employees of its own. The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2050, unless terminated prior to that date, pursuant to the partnership agreement or law. The financial statements include only activity relating to the business of the Partnership, and do not give effect to any assets that the partners may have outside of their interests in the Partnership, or to any obligations, including income taxes, of the partners. The Partnership Agreement authorized the sale of 20,000 units of limited partnership interest ("Partnership Units") at $1,000 per Partnership Unit. The offering of Partnership Units concluded in July 1995 at which time 15,600 Partnership 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 investors (the "Limited Partners") will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in proportion to their respective investments. The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Local Limited Partnership properties will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement. Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the Partnership. The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex. Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership. Should such distributions occur, the Limited Partners will be entitled to receive distributions from the proceeds remaining after payment of Partnership obligations and funding reserves equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement). The General Partner would then be entitled to receive proceeds equal to their capital contributions 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. 7 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Risks and Uncertainties ----------------------- An investment in the Partnership and the Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships and their Housing Complexes are subject to risks. These risks may impact the tax benefits of an investment in the Partnership, and the amount of proceeds available for distribution to the Limited Partners, if any, on liquidation of the Partnership's investments. Some of those risks include the following: The Low Income Housing Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits that an individual can use is limited to the tax liability due on the person's last $25,000 of taxable income. The Local Limited Partnerships may be unable to sell the Housing Complexes at a price which would result in the Partnership realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute any cash to its limited partners. Low Income Housing Tax Credits may be the only benefit from an investment in the Partnership. The Partnership has invested in a limited number of Local Limited Partnerships. Such limited diversity means that the results of operation of each single Housing Complex will have a greater impact on the Partnership. With limited diversity, poor performance of one Housing Complex could impair the Partnership's ability to satisfy its investment objectives. Each Housing Complex is subject to mortgage indebtedness. If a Local Limited Partnership failed to pay its mortgage, it could lose its Housing Complex in foreclosure. If foreclosure were to occur during the first 15 years, the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or a non-managing member of each Local Limited Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership will have very limited rights with respect to management of the Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership will rely totally on the Local General Partners. Neither the Partnership's investments in Local Limited Partnerships, nor the Local Limited Partnerships' investments in Housing Complexes, are 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 interests in Local Limited Partnerships; limitations on removal of Local General Partners; limitations on subsidy programs; and possible changes in applicable regulations. Uninsured casualties could result in loss of property and Low Income Housing Tax Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits previously taken. The value of real estate is subject to risks from fluctuating economic conditions, including employment rates, inflation, tax, environmental, land use and zoning policies, supply and demand of similar properties, and neighborhood conditions, among others. The ability of Limited Partners to claim tax losses from the Partnership is limited. The IRS may audit the Partnership or a Local Limited Partnership and challenge the tax treatment of tax items. The amount of Low Income Housing Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to the limited partners could be reduced if the IRS were successful in such a challenge. The alternative minimum tax could reduce tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership. Changes in tax laws could also impact the tax benefits from an investment in the Partnership and/or the value of the Housing Complexes. Substantially all of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits anticipated to be realized from the Local Limited Partnerships have been realized. The Partnership does not anticipate being allocated any Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Local Limited Partnerships in the future. Until the Local Limited Partnerships have completed the 15 year Low Income Housing Tax Credit compliance period, risks exist for potential recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits. 8 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED No trading market for the Partnership Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited Partners may be unable to sell their Partnership Units except at a discount and should consider their Partnership Units to be a long-term investment. Individual Limited Partners will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited Partners. The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund its operations. Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through March 31, 2009. Anticipated future and existing cash resources of the Partnership are not sufficient to pay existing liabilities of the Partnership. However, substantially all of the existing liabilities of the Partnership are payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates are contractually currently payable, the Partnership anticipates that the General Partner and/or its affiliates will not require the payment of these contractual obligations until capital reserves are in excess of the aggregate of then existing contractual obligations and then anticipated future foreseeable obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership would be adversely affected should the General Partner and/or its affiliates demand current payment of the existing contractual obligations and or suspend services for this or any other reason. Exit Strategy ------------- The IRS compliance period for Low-Income Housing Tax Credit properties is generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associates was one of the first in the industry to offer syndicated investments using the Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The initial programs are completing their compliance periods. As of December 31, 2007, none of the Local Limited Partnerships had completed the 15 year compliance period. With that in mind, the Partnership is continuing to review the Housing Complexes, with special emphasis on the more mature Housing Complexes such as any that have satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. The review considers many factors, including extended use requirements (such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the Housing Complexes, and the tax consequences to the Limited Partners from the sale of the Housing Complexes. Upon identifying those Housing Complexes with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with efforts to liquidate them. The objective is to maximize the Limited Partners' return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down the Partnership. Local Limited Partnership interests may be disposed of any time by the General Partner in its discretion. While liquidation of the Housing Complexes continues to be evaluated, the dissolution of the Partnership was not imminent as of December 31, 2007. As of December 31, 2007 one Housing Complex had been sold, EW, a California Limited Partnership. During the quarter ended December 31, 2007 the Partnership identified the Housing Complex of one Local Limited Partnership (Crossings II Limited Dividend Housing Association, Limited Partnership) for disposition. This Local Limited Partnership started to experience operational issues during the year ended March 31, 2005 and continues to have operation issues primarily due to cash flow issues. The Partnership received all of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits from Crossings II, with the final credits being taken in 2007. The Local Limited Partnership's General Partner is looking to purchase the Partnership's limited partnership interest in Crossings II. The General Partner is going to post the surety bond to protect the Partnership from recapture. The anticipated closing date of this transaction is April of 2008. Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership adjusts its investment balance for its share of the Local Limited Partnerships' results of operations and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a 9 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Local Limited Partnership for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such investment may not be recoverable. Recoverability of such investment is measured by the estimated value derived by management, generally consisting of the sum of the remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits estimated to be allocated to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership. If an investment is considered to be impaired, the Partnership reduces the carrying value of its investment in any such Local Limited Partnership. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships, generally, are expected to be consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments are capitalized as part of the investment and are being amortized over 30 years. (See Note 2) "Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships" for the periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 have been recorded by the Partnership. Management's estimate for the three-month period is based on either actual unaudited results reported by the Local Limited Partnerships or historical trends in the operations of the Local Limited Partnerships. In subsequent annual financial statements, upon receiving the actual annual results reported by the Local Limited Partnerships, management reverses its prior estimate and records the actual results reported by the Local Limited Partnerships. Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below zero. As soon as the investment balance reaches zero, amortization of the related costs of acquiring the investment is accelerated to the extent of losses available (see Note 2). If the Local Limited Partnerships reported 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 (see Note 2). The Partnership does not consolidate the accounts and activities of the Local Limited Partnerships, which are considered Variable Interest Entities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46-Revised, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", because the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Partnership's balance in investments in Local Limited Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on such investments, represents the maximum exposure to loss in connection with such investments. The Partnership's exposure to loss on the Local Limited Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the Local General Partners and their guarantees against Low Income Housing Tax Credit recapture. Distributions received from the Local Limited Partnerships are accounted for as a reduction of the investment balance. Distributions received after the investment has reached zero are recognized as distribution income. As of December 31, 2007 nineteen investment accounts in Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance. Use of Estimates ---------------- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. For all periods presented, the Partnership had no cash equivalents. 10 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED Reporting Comprehensive Income ------------------------------ The STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ("SFAS") NO. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME established standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. The Partnership had no items of other comprehensive income for all periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130. Income Taxes ------------ No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements as any liability and or benefits for income taxes flows to the partners of the Partnership and is their obligation and/or benefit. For income tax purposes the Partnership reports on a calendar year basis. Net Loss Per Partnership Unit ----------------------------- Net loss per Partnership Unit is calculated pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net loss per Partnership Unit includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss allocated to Limited Partners by the weighted average number of Partnership Units outstanding during the period. Calculation of diluted net loss per Partnership Unit is not required. Revenue Recognition ------------------- The Partnership is entitled to receive reporting fees from the Local Limited Partnerships. The intent of the reporting fees is to offset (in part) administrative costs incurred by the Partnership in corresponding with the Local Limited Partnerships. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of these fees, the Partnership recognizes reporting fees as collections are made. Amortization ------------ Acquisition fees and costs are being amortized over 30 years using the straight-line method. Amortization expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $3,840 and $14,937, respectively. Impairment ---------- A loss in value from a Local Limited Partnership other than a temporary decline is recorded as an impairment loss. Impairment is measured by comparing the investment carrying amount to the sum of the total of the remaining Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocate to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership. NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS As of December 31, 2007, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership interests in twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate of 876 apartment units. The respective Local General Partners of the Local Limited Partnerships manage the day to day operations of the entities. Significant Local Limited Partnership business decisions, as defined, 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 Low Income Housing Tax Credits of the Local Limited Partnerships. A loss in value from a Local Limited Partnership other than a temporary decline is recorded as an impairment loss. Impairment is measured by comparing the investment carrying amount to the sum of the total amount of the remaining Low Income Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership recorded an impairment loss of $113,285 and $450,003, during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. 11 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS The following is a summary of the equity method activity of the investments in Local Limited Partnerships for the periods presented below: FOR THE NINE FOR THE YEAR MONTHS ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 MARCH 31, 2007 ----------------- ---------------- Investments per balance sheet, beginning of period $ 970,319 $ 1,750,403 Impairment loss (113,285) (450,003) Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships (79,311) (310,379) Amortization of capitalized acquisition fees and costs (3,840) (19,702) ----------------- ---------------- Investments per balance sheet, end of period $ 773,883 $ 970,319 ================= ================ FOR THE NINE FOR THE YEAR MONTHS ENDED ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 MARCH 31, 2007 ----------------- ---------------- Investments in Local Limited Partnerships, net $ 555,410 $ 748,006 Acquisition fees and costs, net of accumulated amortization of $1,009,580 and $1,005,740 218,473 222,313 ----------------- ---------------- Investments per balance sheet, end of period $ 773,883 $ 970,319 ================= ================

In the event these Local Limited Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partners may be required to sustain the operations of such Local Limited Partnerships. If additional capital contributions are not made when they are required, the Partnership's investment in certain of such Local Limited Partnerships could be impaired, and the loss and recapture of the related tax credits could occur. 13 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND IV, L.P., SERIES 2 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, CONTINUED Troubled Properties ------------------- One Local Limited Partnership, Crossing II Limited Dividend Housing Association LP ("Crossings II") started to experience operational issues during the year ended March 31, 2005. As interest rates were falling, this particular market saw an increasing number of people purchasing first time homes, thereby, causing high vacancy rates. This particular area of Michigan is experiencing an overall low occupancy issue. The low occupancy was the primary reason for the properties' cash flow issues. The Local General Partner continues to make advances to the property to help fund its operations. The Partnership received all the Low Income Housing Tax Credits from Crossings II. The final Low Income Housing Tax Credits were taken in 2007. The Local Limited Partnership's General Partner is looking to purchase the Partnership's limited partnership interest in Crossings II. The General Partner is going to post a surety bond to protect the Partnership from tax credit recapture. The anticipated closing date of this transaction is April of 2008. The Partnership has two investments, consisting of 99% limited partnership interests in each of Broken Bow Apartments I, Limited Partnership ("Broken Bow") and Sidney Apartments I, Limited Partnership ("Sidney"). Due to operational difficulties and negative cash flows in 2000, foreclosure procedures were commenced by the lender of these two Local Limited Partnerships. As a result, the Partnerships , Broken Bow and Sidney, in addition to a WNC subsidiary executed a work-out agreement with the lender (the "Agreement"), which was effective December 14, 2001. Broken Bow was required to pay to the lender $165,000 as a partial settlement of the indebtedness due and owed by Broken Bow due to the fact that their loan was a construction loan. The Partnership advanced the aforementioned monies to Broken Bow and fully reserved the amount as of March 31, 2002. The balance of the indebtedness owed to the lender by Broken Bow was satisfied by the execution of two promissory notes. Simultaneously, the balance of the indebtedness owed to the lender by Sidney was also satisfied by the execution of two promissory notes. The Partnership and a WNC subsidiary had executed a guarantee for the payment of both notes of Broken Bow and Sidney. In addition, several other commitments were made. Broken Bow and Sidney had also executed a grant deed to the lender in the event that any of the entities defaulted under the terms and provisions of the notes. The deeds were held in escrow, and if Broken Bow or Sidney defaults on either note, the lender may, at its option, record the respective deed. In addition, the Partnership had under the promissory notes assigned the lender as additional collateral all of its residual value interests, as defined, in all of the Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership and the Local Limited Partnerships were prohibited from selling, assigning, transferring or further encumbering the Housing Complexes retained by each Local Limited Partnership without the lenders acknowledgement. On March 24, 2006 Broken Bow and Sidney had the promissory notes refinanced and as a result the Partnership and a subsidiary of WNC were relieved of their obligations as guarantors for these two Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership was also released of pledging additional collateral in the form of its residual value interests.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information, this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and other discussions elsewhere in this Form 10-Q contain forward looking statements. Such statements are based on current expectations subject to uncertainties and other factors which may involve known and unknown risks that could cause actual results of operations to differ materially from those projected or implied. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions about future events which may not prove to be accurate. Risks and uncertainties inherent in forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, our future cash flows and ability to obtain sufficient financing, level of operating expenses, conditions in the Low Income Housing Tax Credit property market and the economy in general, as well as legal proceedings. Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for any future period. Subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Partnership or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing. The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and should be read in conjunction with the combined condensed financial statements and accompanying notes included within this report. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Partnership's assets at December 31, 2007 consisted primarily of $28,000 in cash and aggregate investments in the twenty-one Local Limited Partnerships of $774,000. Liabilities at December 31, 2007 primarily consisted of $655,000 of accrued annual asset management fees and reimbursement for expenses paid by the General Partner and/or its affiliates and accrued expenses of $11,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $(41,000), reflecting a decrease of approximately $22,000 from the net loss of $(63,000) for the three months ended December 31, 2006. That primary factor for the decrease is due to a $15,000 decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships for the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is due to the Partnership not recognizing losses of additional Local Limited Partnerships, which investment balances had reached zero. Since the Partnership's liability with respect to its investments is limited, losses in excess of investment are not recognized. Additionally, there was a $3,000 decrease in bad debt expense due to the Partnership making $3,000 more advances for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007 and the amounts were reserved for in the same quarter. There was also a $3,000 decrease in amortization expense. Other expenses also increased by $(2,000). Reporting fees increased by $4,000 offset by a decrease in distribution income of $(2,000) due to the fact that Local Limited Partnerships pay distributions and reporting fees to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnership's cash flow will allow for the payment. NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 The Partnership's net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $(236,000), reflecting a decrease of approximately $439,000 from the net loss of $(675,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to the $371,000 decrease in loss from operations. That decrease consisted of a decrease in impairment loss of $337,000. The impairment loss can vary each year depending on the annual decrease in Low Income Housing Tax Credits allocated to the Partnership and the current estimated residual value to the Partnership compared to the current carrying value to the 16 Partnership. The accounting and legal expenses decreased by $8,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2006 due to the timing issue of accounting work being performed. Additionally, a decrease of $11,000 in amortization, which is due to several properties reaching a zero investment balance and as such the acquisition costs and fees associated with those particular investments have been written down to zero, thus reducing amortization expense. Bad debt expense decreased by $11,000 due to the Partnership making $11,000 more in advances to Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2006 and the advances being reserved for in the same nine months. The reporting fee income increased by $6,000 offset by a decrease of $(2,000) in distribution income for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2006 due to the fact that Local Limited Partnerships pay reporting fees and distributions to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnership's cash flow will allow for the payment. Along with the decrease in loss from operations, there was a decrease of equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships by $68,000 to $(79,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 from $(147,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships is due to the Partnership not recognizing losses of additional Local Limited Partnerships, which investment balances had reached zero. Since the Partnership's liability with respect to its investments is limited, losses in excess of investment are not recognized. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 Net cash provided during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 was $8,000, compared to net cash used during the nine months ended December 31, 2006 of $(7,000), reflecting a change of $15,000. The change was due to the fact that the Partnership made advances to a Local Limited Partnership of $4,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 compared to $15,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2006. Also during the nine months ended December 31, 2007 the Partnership increased accrued expenses by $11,000. The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund its operations. WNC and Associates, Inc., the general partner of the General Partner of the Partnership, has agreed to provide advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through March 31, 2009.
