                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1998

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
--------------------------------------------------

Organization
------------
WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 6 (the  "Partnership")  was formed
under  the  California  Revised  Limited  Partnership  Act on March 3,  1997 and
commenced  operations on August 20, 1998. The  Partnership  was formed to invest
primarily in other limited  partnerships which will own and operate multi-family
housing complexes that will qualify for low income housing credits.

The information  contained in the following notes to the financial statements is
condensed from that which would appear in the annual financial  statements.  The
Partnership  commenced  operations  August 20,  1998,  consequently  there is no
Annual Report for prior years.

In  the  opinion  of  the  management,   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,
1998 and the  results  of  operations  and  changes in cash flows for the period
August 20, 1998 (date  operations  commenced) to September 30, 1998.  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.

The general partner of the  Partnership is WNC & Associates,  Inc. (the "General
Partner"). Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., through the Cooper Revocable Trust, owns just
less than 70% of the outstanding stock of WNC & Associates, Inc. John B. Lester,
Jr. is the original  limited partner of the  Partnership  and owns,  through the
Lester  Family  Trust,  just  less  than 30% of the  outstanding  stock of WNC &
Associates, Inc.

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  99.9% of  these  items in
proportion  to the  number  of their  respective  units of  limited  partnership
interest in the Partnership ("Units").

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's  Agreement  of Limited  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

General Partner.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------

Method of Accounting For Investment 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 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.

Losses from the limited  partnerships  will not be recognized to the extent that
the individual investment balance would be adjusted below zero.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The  Partnership  considers all bank  certificates of deposit with a maturity of
less than three months to be cash equivalents.

Offering Expenses
-----------------
Offering  expenses consist of underwriting  commissions,  legal fees,  printing,
filing and  recordation  fees, and other costs incurred with selling Units.  The
General  Partner is  obligated to pay all  offering  and  organization  costs in
excess of 14.5%  (including sales  commissions) of the total offering  proceeds.
Offering expenses are reflected as a reduction of partners' capital.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

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 up to 7% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Units.
     Acquisition  fees of $204,575  were  incurred  during the period August 20,
     1998 (date operations commenced) to September 30, 1998.

         An annual management fee not exceed .2% of the  Partnership's  invested

     the Partnership's  capital  contributions to limited  partnerships plus its
     allocable   percentage   of  the   permanent   financing   of  the  limited
     partnerships).  The Partnership has incurred no such fees during the period
     August 20, 1998 (date operations commenced) to September 30, 1998.

         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

NOTE 4 - SUBSCRIPTION AND INVESTOR NOTES RECEIVABLE
---------------------------------------------------

During the period August 20, 1998 (date  operations  commenced) to September 30,
1998,  the  Partnership  accepted  $107,500  in  promissory  notes from  limited
partners.  Limited partners who subscribe for ten or more Units may elect to pay
50% of the purchase price therefore in cash upon  subscription and the remaining
50% by the delivery of a promissory  note bearing fixed  interest at the rate of
5.10%  per  annum.  Interest  rates are  established  quarterly.  Principal  and
interest  are due (i) January 31, 1999 if the investor  subscribes  on or before
June 30,  1998,  (ii) June 30, 1999 if the investor  subscribes  between July 1,
1998 and December 31, 1998 or (iii) January 31, 2000 if the investor  subscribes
after  December 31,  1998.  This amount is presented as a reduction in partners'
equity.

Subscriptions  receivable of $278,000 has been received  subsequent to September
30, 1998 and accordingly have been classified as an asset.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
---------------------

The Partnership  will not make a provision for income taxes since all income and
losses will be  allocated to the  Partners  for  inclusion  in their  respective
returns.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

The  Partnership  is  raising  equity  capital  from  investors  by means of its
Offering,  and is applying such capital,  including the installment  payments on
the Promissory Notes as received, to the purchase price and acquisition fees and
costs of Local  Limited  Partnership  Interests,  Reserves and  expenses.  As of
August  20,  1998 the  Partnership  had  received  cash  subscriptions  funds of
$1,424,500,  thereby satisfying the minimum offering condition.  As of September
30, 1998, the Partnership had received and accepted  subscriptions in the amount
of $3,030,000  (3,030  Units),  of which  $107,500  currently is  represented by
Promissory Notes.

As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership was indebted to WNC & Associates, Inc.
in the amount of approximately $44,000. The component items of such indebtedness
were as follows:  advances to pay front-end fees of approximately $82,000 offset
by approximately $39,000 accrued acquisition fees paid in advance.

As of November  1,1998 and as of September 30, 1998,  the  Partnership  had made
capital   contributions   to  Local  Limited   Partnerships  in  the  amount  of
approximately  $1,769,000 and $769,000,  respectively,  and had  commitments for
additional  capital  contributions  of  approximately  $2,069,000 and $3,069,000
respectively.

Overall,  as reflected in its Statement of Cash Flows, the Partnership had a net
increase in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1,290,400 for the period
August 20, 1998 (date operations commenced) to September 30, 1998. This increase
in cash consisted of cash provided by (used in) operating activities,  investing
activities and financing activities,  of approximately  $(2,100),  ($1,033,200),
and $2,325,700,  respectively. Cash provided from financing activities consisted
of capital contributions from limited partners of approximately  $2,645,600 less
offering expenses of approximately  $319,900.  Cash used by investing activities
consisted  of  payment  for  purchase  of   partnership   interests  in  limited
partnerships and capitalized  acquisitions  costs of approximately  $768,600 and
$264,600,  respectively.  Cash provided and used by the operating  activities of
the Partnership was minimal compared to its other activities. 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.


It is not  expected  that any of the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  in which the
Partnership will invest will generate cash from operations sufficient to provide
distributions  to the  Unitholders  in any  significant  amount,  Such cash from
operations,  if any,  would  first  be used to meet  operating  expenses  of the
Partnership, including the payment of the Asset Management Fee.

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 Local
Limited  Partnerships  and the  Partnership.  These  problems  may result from a
number of factors, many of which cannot be controlled. Nevertheless, the General
Partner  anticipates  that  capital  raised  from the sale of the Units  will be
sufficient to fund the Partnership's future investment  commitments and proposed
operations.


                                       12


<PAGE>




 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  including  payment of the Asset  Management Fee as well as expenses
attendant to the  preparation of tax returns and reports to the  Unitholders 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  Promissory  Notes,  from  which a portion  of the
working  capital  Reserves is expected to be funded.  To the extend 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 Partnership may also apply any
cash  distributions  received  from  the  Local  Limited  Partnerships  for such
purposes or to replenish or increase working capital Reserves.

 Under the Partnership  Agreement the  Partnership  does not have the ability to
assess the Unitholders for additional  Capital  Contributions to provide capital
if needed by the  Partnership  or Local Limited  Partnerships.  Accordingly,  if
circumstances arise that cause the Local Limited Partnerships to require capital
in addition to that  contributed by the  Partnership and any equity of the Local
General Partners, 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 Local Limited  Partnerships are
already  substantially  leveraged),  (ii)  additional  equity  contributions  or
advances of the Local General Partners,  (iii) other equity sources (which could
adversely  affect the  Partnership's  interest in Tax Credits,  cash flow and/or
proceeds of sale or refinancing of the Apartment Complexes and result in adverse
tax  consequences  to the  Unitholders),  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
requirements of the Local Limited Partnerships in question. If such Partnerships
are not  available,  the Local Limited  Partnerships  would risk  foreclosure on
their Apartment  Complexes if they were unable to renegotiate the terms of their
first  mortgages  and any other debt secured by the  Apartment  Complexes to the
extent the capital requirements of the Local Limited Partnerships relate to such
debt.

 The  Partnership's  capital  needs and  resources 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'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
Partnership the Partnership's deferred obligations.

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

As reflected on its  Statements of  Operations,  the  Partnership  had a loss of
approximately $2,000 for the period August 20, 1998 (date operations  commenced)
to September 30, 1998. 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 Local 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.

                                       13




<PAGE>





Expenses. The most significant component of operating expenses is expected to be
the Asset  Management  Fee.  The Asset  Management  Fee is equal to 0.2% of that
portion of Invested  Assets (i.e.,  the sum of the  Partnership's  investment in
Local  Limited  Partnerships  plus  the  Partnership's  allocable  share  of the
mortgage loans on and other debts related to, the Apartment  Complexes  owned by
such Local  Limited  Partnerships)  which are  attributable  to apartment  units
receiving government assistance.

Amortization  expense consist of the  amortization  over a period of 30 years of
the Acquisition Fee and other expenses  attributable to the acquisition of Local
Limited Partnership Interests.

Because  the  amounts  of the  Asset  Management  Fee and  amortization  expense
primarily are determined by the gross proceeds from the Offering, and the number
and  size  of  Apartment  Complexes,  until  termination  of  the  Offering  and
investment of the net proceeds therefrom the Partnership cannot predict with any
accuracy what these amounts will be.

Part II.  Other Information

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

As of September 30, 1998 the  Partnership has received  subscriptions  for 3,030
units of limited  partnership  interest  ("Units"),  for an aggregate  amount of
capital  contributions  of $3,030,000 in an offering which  commenced on July 9,
1998. At September 30, 1998, the above capital  contributions  consisted of cash
of  $2,644,500,  subscriptions  receivable  of $278,000 and notes  receivable of
$107,500. At September 30, 1998, approximately $396,000 was paid or due to WNC &
Associates,   Inc.  or  WNC  Capital   Corporation,   affiliates,   for  selling
commissions,  wholesaling  activities and in reimbursement of other organization
and offering expenses. Included therein are selling commissions of approximately
$205,000  and  wholesaling  and other  organization  and  offering  expenses  of
approximately $104,000 which were reallowed to non-affiliates.  At September 30,
1998,  the  Partnership  has committed  funds for the purchase of real estate in
excess of amounts raised;  approximately $4,061,000 is invested in Local Limited
Partnership Interests or Reserves as follows:
