NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accompanying  condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles 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 generally accepted
accounting  principles  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, 2001 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
that may be  expected  for the fiscal year ending  March 31,  2002.  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,
2001.

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 of the Partnership is WNC & Associates,  Inc.  ("Associates"
or the "General  Partner".) Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable
Trust,  owns 66.8% of the outstanding stock of Associates.  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 Associates.  Wilfred N. Cooper,
Jr., President of Associates,  owns 3.6% of the outstanding stock of Associates.
The business of the Partnership is conducted  primarily through  Associates,  as
the Partnership has no employees of its own.

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 makes 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 in the transferability of Units, and it
is unlikely that a market for Units will develop.  The General Partner will make
all management decisions.

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.

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 $770,036
as of June 30, 2001.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND 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. As of
June 30, 2001, the Partnership had no cash equivalents.

Concentration of Credit Risk

At June 30, 2001, 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  partnership 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

In June 1997,  the FASB  issued  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards
("SFAS") No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive  Income.  This statement  establishes
standards for reporting the components of comprehensive income and requires that
all items that are  required to be  recognized  under  accounting  standards  as
components of comprehensive  income be included in a financial statement that is
displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.  Comprehensive
income  includes net income as well as certain items that are reported  directly
within a separate  component of partners' equity and bypass net income.  For the
periods  presented,  the  Partnership  has no  elements  of other  comprehensive
income, as defined by SFAS No. 130.

Reclassification.

Certain  reclassifications  have been made to prior period to be consistent with
2001 presentation.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of June 30, 2001, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership  interests
in 4 Local  Limited  Partnerships,  each  of  which  owns  one  Housing  Complex
consisting  of an  aggregate  of 175  apartment  units.  As of  June  30,  2001,
construction  or  rehabilitation  of one 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 99.9%, 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.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, continued

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, 2001, 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 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 for the following fees:

a)     Acquisition  fees of 7% of the gross  proceeds  from the sale of Units as

NOTE 4 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

Payables to limited partnerships amounting to $3,338,534 at June 30, 2001 and $0
at March 31, 2001  represent  amounts,  which are due at various  times based on
conditions  specified in the respective limited  partnership  agreements.  These
contributions are payable in installments and are generally due upon the limited
partnerships  achieving certain development and operating benchmarks  (generally
within two years of the Partnership's initial investment).

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

No provision for income taxes will be recorded in the financial  statements,  as
any  liability  for  income  taxes  is the  obligation  of the  partners  of the
Partnership.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

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  Consolidated  Financial  Statements and the Notes thereto
included elsewhere in this filing.

The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the
fiscal  quarter ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  and should be read in conjunction
with the condensed  consolidated  financial  statements and  accompanying  notes
included within this report.

Financial Condition

The  Partnership's  assets at June 30, 2001  consisted  primarily of $707,000 in
cash,  $570,000 in subscriptions  receivable,  and aggregate  investments in the
four Local Limited  Partnerships  of  $7,284,000.  Liabilities  at June 30, 2001
primarily  consisted of $3,339,000 due to limited  partnerships  and $119,000 in
advances and other payables due to the General Partner or affiliates.


Results of Operations

It is not expected that any of the local limited partnerships will generate cash
from  operations  sufficient  to  provide  distributions  to  investors  in  any
significant  amount.  Cash from operations,  if any, would first be used to meet
operating  expenses of the  Partnerships.  Operating  expenses include the asset
management fee.

Investments  in local  limited  partnerships  are not readily  marketable.  Such
investments may be affected by adverse  general  economic  conditions,  which in
turn,  could  substantially  increase  the  risk  of  operating  losses  for the
apartment complexes,  the local limited partnerships and the Partnership.  These
problems  may  result  from a  number  of  factors,  many  of  which  cannot  be
controlled. Nevertheless, WNC & Associates, Inc. anticipates that capital raised
from the sale of the Units will be sufficient to fund the  Partnership's  future
investment commitments and proposed operations.

The capital needs and resources of the Partnership are expected to undergo major
changes  during  its  first  several  years of  operations  as a  result  of the
completion  of its  offering  of  Units  and  its  acquisition  of  investments.
Thereafter,  The  Partnership'  capital  needs and  resources are expected to be
relatively stable.
