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 three months
ended June 30, 2002 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected  for the fiscal year ending March 31,  2003.  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,
2002.

Organization
------------

WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 8 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under  the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act on June 16,  1997 and
commenced  operations  on November 17, 2000,  the  effective  date of its public
offering  pursuant to the Securities and Exchange  Commission's  approval of the
Partnership's Pre-Effective Amendment No. 5 to Form S-11 initially filed on July
16,  1999.  The  Partnership  was formed to invest  primarily  in other  limited
partnerships  or  limited  liability   companies  which  will  own  and  operate
multifamily  housing complexes that are eligible for low-income  housing federal
and, in certain  cases,  California  income tax  credits  ("Low  Income  Housing
Credit").

The Partnership  shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2060
unless terminated prior to that date,  pursuant to the partnership  agreement or
law.

The general partner is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") (the "General Partner"), a
California limited partnership. The chairman and president own substantially all
of the  outstanding  stock of WNC. The business of the  Partnership is conducted
primarily through WNC, as the Partnership has no employees of its own.

The  partnership  agreement  authorized the sale of up to 25,000 units at $1,000
per Unit ("Units"). As of June 30, 2002, 9,814 Units, representing subscriptions
in the  amount of  $9,807,585,  net of dealer  discounts  of $6,370  and  volume
discounts of $45, had been  accepted.  The General  Partner has 0.1% interest in
operating  profits and losses,  taxable  income and losses,  cash  available for
distribution  from the  Partnership  and tax  credits  of the  Partnership.  The
limited  partners  will be  allocated  the  remaining  99.9% of  these  items in
proportion to their respective investments.

After the limited  partners  have received  proceeds from a 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 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 - ORGANIZATION AND 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  intends to account for its investments in limited  partnerships
using the equity method of accounting,  whereby the Partnership  will adjust 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  expected to be  consistent  with those of the
Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments will
be capitalized as part of the investment and amortized over 30 years (Note 3).

Offering Expenses
-----------------

Offering  expenses consist of underwriting  commissions,  legal fees,  printing,
filing and recordation fees, and other costs incurred in connection with selling
limited  partnership  interests  in the  Partnership.  The  General  Partner  is
obligated to pay all offering and organization  costs in excess of 4% (excluding
sales  commissions)  of the  total  offering  proceeds.  Offering  expenses  are
reflected as a reduction of limited partners' capital and amounted to $1,269,405
as of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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  remaining
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  As of
June 30, 2002, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------

At June 30, 2002, the Partnership  maintained cash balances at certain financial
institutions in excess of the federally insured maximum.

Net Income Per Limited Partner Unit
-----------------------------------

Net income per limited  partner  unit is  calculated  pursuant to  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Net income per unit
includes no dilution  and is computed by dividing  income  available  to limited
partners by the weighted average number of units outstanding  during the period.
Calculation of diluted net income per unit is not required.

Reporting Comprehensive Income
------------------------------

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 the periods presented, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

New Accounting Pronouncement
----------------------------

In October 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets" ("SFAS
144"), which addresses  accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets.  SFAS 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after  December 15, 2001,  and generally,  is to be applied  prospectively.  The
Partnership  does  not  expect  SFAS  144  to  have  a  material  impact  on the
Partnership's financial position or results of operations

Reclassification.
-----------------

Certain  prior  period  balances  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  to  the
presentation for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE
-------------------------

Loans  receivable  represent  amounts loaned by the Partnership to certain Local
Limited  Partnerships  in which the  Partnership  may  invest.  These  loans are
generally applied against the first capital  contribution due if the Partnership
ultimately invests in such entities.  In the event that the Partnership does not
invest in such  entities,  the loans are to be repaid  with  interest  at a rate
which is equal to the rate  charged  to the  holder.  At June 30,  2002,  a loan
receivable of $100,000 was due from one Local Limited Partnership.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS
--------------------------------------------

As of June 30, 2002, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership  interests
in six  Local  Limited  Partnerships,  each of which  owns one  Housing  Complex
consisting  of an  aggregate  of 215  apartment  units.  As of  June  30,  2002,
construction  or  rehabilitation  of four of the Housing  Complexes was still in
process.  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 99.98%, 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 the  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.

Distributions  received by limited  partners are accounted for as a reduction of
the investment balance.  Distributions received after the investment has reached
zero are  recognized as income.  As of June 30, 2002, no investment  accounts in
Local Limited Partnerships had reached a zero balance.

The following is a summary of the equity method  activity of the  investments in
local limited partnerships as of:

NOTE 4 - 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 for the following fees:

(a)  Acquisition  fees of 7% of the  gross  proceeds  from  the sale of Units as
     compensation  for services  rendered in connection  with the acquisition of
     Local  Limited  Partnerships.  As of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002,  the
     Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $686,980. Accumulated amortization
     of these  capitalized costs was $23,171 and $17,444 as of June 30, 2002 and
     March 31, 2002, respectively.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Forward Looking Statements
--------------------------

With  the  exception  of  the  discussion  regarding   historical   information,
"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 us or
persons  acting on our behalf  are  expressly  qualified  in their  entirety  by
cautionary  statements  in this Form 10-Q and in other reports we filed with the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The following discussion should be read in
conjunction  with the  condensed  Financial  Statements  and the  Notes  thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.

The following  discussion  and analysis  discusses the results of operations for
the three months ended June 30, 2002, and should be read in conjunction with the
condensed  financial  statements and  accompanying  notes  included  within this
report.

Financial Condition
-------------------

The Partnership's  assets at June 30, 2002 consisted  primarily of $1,004,000 in
cash,  loans  receivable of $100,000 and aggregate  investments in the six Local
Limited  Partnerships  of  $8,182,000.  Liabilities  at June 30, 2002  primarily
consisted of $637,000 of payables to limited partnerships and $13,000 in accrued
expenses and management fees due to the General Partner or affiliates.

Results of Operations
---------------------

Three Months  Ended June 30, 2002  Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001.
The Partnership's net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $1,000
reflecting  a decrease of $5,000 from the net income of $6,000  experienced  for
the three months  ended June 30,  2001.  The decrease in net income is primarily
due to the increase in loss from  operating  activities by $(21,000) from $6,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $(15,000) for the three months ended
June 30,  2002.  The  increase  in loss from  operating  activities  is due to a
decrease in interest income of $(7,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2002
and an increase in loss in operating  expenses of $14,000,  which  consist of an
increase in amortization expense by $5,000, an increase in asset management fees
by $5,000,  an increase in legal and accounting fees by $2,000,  and an increase
in other  expenses  by $2,000  for the three  month  ended  June 30,  2002.  The
increase in loss from operating activities is offset by an increase of equity in
income by $16,000  from $0 for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 to $16,000
for the three months ended June 30, 2002.

Cash Flows
----------

Year Ended June 30, 2002  Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2001.  Net decrease in
cash during the three months ended June 30, 2002 was  $(123,000),  compared to a
net decrease in cash for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 of  $(1,401,000)
reflecting  a decrease  of  $(1,278,000).  The  decrease in net cash used is due
primarily to $(2,240,000)  decrease in net cash provided by financing activities
due to the completion of syndication  process.  The decrease in cash provided by
financing  activities  was offset by the decrease by  $3,533,000 of cash used in
investing activities, due to capital contributing to Local Limited Partnerships,
and a decrease in cash provided by operating activities of $(16,000) to $(4,000)
during the three  months  ended June 30, 2002 from  $12,000 for the three months
June 30, 2001.

The Partnership  expects its future cash flows,  together with its net available
assets at June 30, 2002,  to be  sufficient  to meet all  currently  foreseeable
future cash requirements.
