Business 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 general partner of the Partnership is WNC & Associates, Inc. ("Associates" or the "General Partner".) The chairman and president own substantially all 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. Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 23, 1997, the Partnership commenced a public offering of 25,000 units of Limited Partnership Interest ("Units"), at a price of $1,000 per Unit. Such offering is closed. As of March 31, 2002, the Partnership had received and accepted subscriptions for 9,814 Units in the amount of $9,807,585, net of volume and dealer discounts of $6,415. Holders of Units are referred to herein as "Limited Partners." Description of Business The Partnership's principal business objective is to provide its Limited Partners with Low Income Housing Credits. The Partnership's principal business therefore consists of investing as a limited partner or non-managing member in Local Limited Partnerships each of which will own and operate a multi-family housing complex (the "Housing Complex") which will qualify for the Low Income Housing Credit. In general, under Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code, an owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used to reduce Federal taxes otherwise due in each year of a ten-year period. In general, under Section 17058 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, an owner of low-income housing can receive the Low Income Housing Credit to be used against California taxes otherwise due in each year of a four-year period. The Housing Complex is subject to a fifteen-year compliance period (the "Compliance Period"), and under state law may have to be maintained as low income housing for 30 or more years. In general, in order to avoid recapture of Low Income Housing Credits, the Partnership does not expect that it will dispose of its interests in Local Limited Partnerships ("Local Limited Partnership Interests") or approve the sale by any Local Limited Partnership of its Housing Complex prior to the end of the applicable Compliance Period. Because of (i) the nature of the Housing Complexes, (ii) the difficulty of predicting the resale market for low-income housing 15 or more years in the future, and (iii) the ability of government lenders to disapprove of transfer, it is not possible at this time to predict whether the liquidation of the Partnership's assets and the disposition of the proceeds, if any, in accordance with the Partnership's Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended "by Supplements thereto" (the "Partnership Agreement"), will be able to be accomplished promptly at the end of the 15-year period. If a Local Limited Partnership is unable to sell its Housing Complex, it is anticipated that the local general partner ("Local General Partner") will either continue to operate such Housing Complex or take such other actions as the Local General Partner believes to be in the best interest of the Local Limited Partnership. Notwithstanding the preceding, circumstances beyond the control of the General Partner or the Local General Partners may occur during the Compliance Period, which would require the Partnership to approve the disposition of a Housing Complex prior to the end thereof, possibly resulting in recapture of Low Income Housing Credits. 3 As of March 31, 2002, the Partnership had invested in six Local Limited Partnerships. Each of these Local Limited Partnerships owns a Housing Complex that is eligible for the federal Low Income Housing Credit. Certain Local Limited Partnerships may also benefit from government programs promoting low- or moderate-income housing. 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 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 or non-managing member 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 general partners or managing members 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 Partnership management decisions are made by the General Partner. As a limited partner or non-managing member, the Partnership's liability for obligations of each Local Limited Partnership is limited to its investment. The Local General Partners of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for developing, constructing, maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complexes. Item 2. Properties Through its investments in Local Limited Partnerships, the Partnership holds limited partnership interests in the Housing Complexes. The following table reflects the status of the six Housing Complexes as of the dates and for the periods indicated: 4

Item 7. 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-K 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-K 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. 9 Financial Condition The Partnership's assets at March 31, 2002 consisted primarily of $1,128,000 in cash, $8,173,000 in subscriptions receivable, and loans receivable of $100,000. Liabilities at March 31, 2002 consisted of $753,000 in payables to limited partnerships and $13,000 in advances and other payables due to the General Partner or affiliates. Results of Operations Year Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2001. The Partnership's net income for the year ended March 31, 2002 was $93,000 reflecting an increase of $90,000 from the net income of $3,000 experienced for the year ended March 31, 2001. The increase in net income is primarily due to equity in income of limited partnerships of $98,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 compared to zero for the year ended March 31, 2001, offset with a change in income(loss) from operations of $8,000. The increase in equity in income of limited partnerships was mainly due to the addition of six Local Limited Partnerships. The Partnership commenced operations on November 17, 2000. As a result, there are no comparative results of operations or financial condition from prior periods to report. Net income for the period ended March 31, 2001 was principally composed of interest income, offset by amortization and other operating expenses. Accordingly, there were no Low Income Housing Credits available for allocation to the partners. Cash Flows Year Ended March 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2001. Net cash used during the year ended March 31, 2002 was $(981,000), compared to net cash provided for the year ended March 31, 2001 of $2,109,000. Net cash flows used in investing activities increased by $(6,951,000) to $(7,198,000) for the year ended March 31, 2002 from $(247,000), due primarily to an increase in capital contributions paid to Local Limited Partnerships of $6,732,000. Net cash flows from financing activities increased by $3,833,000 to net cash provided from financing activities of $6,186,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 from net cash provided by financing activities of $2,353,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001 as a result of the sale of Units during the year ended March 31, 2002. Net cash flows from operating activities increased by $29,000 to net cash provided from operating activities of $31,000 for the year ended March 31, 2002 from net cash provided by operating activities of $2,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the period ended March 31, 2001 included interest income from cash investments less miscellaneous costs of operations. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the period ended March 31, 2001, primarily consisted of proceeds from the sale of Units of $2,714,350, net of promissory notes of $45,000, subscriptions receivable of $333,000 and dealer and volume discounts of $1,750, less offering expenses paid of $360,910. Cash flows used in investing activities consisted of capitalized acquisition fees and costs totaling $247,050. Other Matters Certain Local Limited Partnerships have incurred significant operating losses and have working capital deficiencies. In the event these Local Limited Partnerships continue to incur significant operating losses, additional capital contributions by the Partnership and/or the Local General Partner 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. Since March 31, 2001, the Partnership has raised equity capital sufficient to satisfy all of its identified obligations. In this regard, the Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available assets at March 31, 2002, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable future cash requirements. Impact of 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 has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of SFAS 144 on its financial position or results of operations. 10 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk NONE. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data 11 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS -------------------------------------------------- To the Partners WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 8 We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 8 (a California Limited Partnership) (the "Partnership") as of March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2002 and for the period November 17, 2000 (date operations commenced) through March 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. A significant portion of the financial statements of the limited partnerships in which the Partnership is a limited partner were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Partnership accounts for its investments in limited partnerships using the equity method. The portion of the Partnership's investment in limited partnerships audited by other auditors represented 69% of the total assets of the Partnership at March 31, 2002. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the financial statements for the limited partnerships which were audited by others, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of the other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI, L.P., Series 8 (a California Limited Partnership) as of March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2002 and for the period November 17, 2000 (date operations commenced) through March 31, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/BDO SEIDMAN, LLP BDO SEIDMAN, LLP Orange County, California July 17, 2002 12 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) BALANCE SHEETS

Prior to November 17, 2000, the Partnership was considered a development-stage enterprise. The Partnership was formed to invest primarily in other limited partnerships and limited liability companies (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 & Associates, Inc. ("WNC") (the "General Partner"), a California limited partnership. The chairman and president own substantially all of the outstanding stock of WNC. 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 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 up to 25,000 units at $1,000 per Unit ("Units"). As of March 31, 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 a 0.1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, in cash available for distribution from the Partnership and tax credits. The limited partners will be allocated the remaining 99.9% interest 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 (as described in Note 3) 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. 17 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Year Ended March 31, 2002, and For The Period November 17, 2000 (Date Operations Commenced) through March 31, 2001 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's 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 (Notes 3 and 4). Equity in income of limited partnerships for the year ended March 31, 2002 have been recorded by the Partnership based on nine months of reported results provided by the Local Limited Partnerships and on three months of results estimated by management of the Partnership. Equity in losses of the limited partnerships allocated to the Partnership will not be 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 are accelerated to the extent of losses available. 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 and the dealer manager fee) of the total offering proceeds. Offering expenses are reflected as a reduction of partners' capital and amounted to $1,269,405 and $397,190 as of March 31, 2002 and 2001. 18 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Year Ended March 31, 2002, and For The Period November 17, 2000 (Date Operations Commenced) through March 31, 2001 NOTE 1 - 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 March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Partnership had no cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- At March 31, 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 during the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, 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 has not yet completed its evaluation of the impact of SFAS 144 on its financial position or results of operations. 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.

As of March 31, 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. The Partnership's investments in limited partnerships as reflected in the balance sheets at March 31, 2002, are approximately $1,899,000 greater than the Partnership's equity as shown in the Local Limited Partnerships' combined financial statements. This difference is primarily due to acquisition, selection, and other costs related to the acquisition of the investments which have been capitalized in the Partnership's investment account and to capital contributions payable to the limited partnerships which were netted against partner capital in the Local Limited Partnerships' financial statements (see Note 4). 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 March 31, 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 limited partnerships for the periods presented:
