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, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004. 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, 2003. Organization ------------ WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund, VI, L.P., Series 8 (the "Partnership") was formed under the California Revised Limited Partnership Act on September 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, 2003, 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. 7 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003 (unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND 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 Credit rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low-Income Housing Credits and the fractional recapture of Low-Income Housing Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low-Income Housing 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 profit. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute any cash to its investors. Low-Income Housing 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 Low-Income Housing Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low-Income Housing Credits, and a loss of the Partnership's investment in the Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or 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 Credits and recapture of Low-Income Housing 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 Credits and tax losses allocable to the investors 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. No trading market for the Units exists or is expected to develop. Investors may be unable to sell their Units except at a discount and should consider their Units to be a long-term investment. Individual investors will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited Partners. 8 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003 (unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exit Strategy ------------- The IRS compliance period for low-income housing tax credit properties is generally 15 years from occupancy following construction or rehabilitation completion. WNC was one of the first in the industry to offer investments using the tax credit. Now these very first programs are completing their compliance period. With that in mind, the Partnership is continuing to review the Partnership's holdings, with special emphasis on the more mature properties including those that have satisfied the IRS compliance requirements. The Partnership's review will consider many factors including extended use requirements on the property (such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the property, and the tax consequences to the investors from the sale of the property. Upon identifying those properties with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with efforts to liquidate those properties. The Partnership's objective is to maximize the investors' return wherever possible and, ultimately, to wind down those funds that no longer provide tax benefits to investors. To date no properties in the Partnership have been selected. 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 Partnerships' results of operations and for any contributions made and distributions received. The Partnership reviews the carrying amount of an individual investment in a 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 a comparison of the carrying amount to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated. If an investment is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the investment exceeds fair value. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnership's are generally 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 2 and 3). Equity in income and equity in losses of limited partnerships for the periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 have been recorded by the Partnership based on three months of results estimated by management of 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. Equity in losses from the Local 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 (see Note 2 ). 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, 2003 and March 31, 2003. 9 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003 (unaudited) 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, 2003, the Partnership had no cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk ---------------------------- At June 30, 2003, 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 Pronouncements ----------------------------- In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations", which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred with the associated asset retirement costs being capitalized as a part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 also includes disclosure requirements that provide a description of asset retirement obligations and reconciliation of changes in the components of those obligations. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on the Partnerhip's financial position or results of operations. In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which addresses accounting and financial reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This standard was effective for the Partnership's financial statements beginning January 1, 2002. The implementation of SFAS No. 144 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. 10 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003 (unaudited) NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED -------------------------------------------------------------- New Accounting Pronouncements, continued ---------------------------------------- In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 145 rescinded three previously issued statements and amended SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases." The statement provides reporting standards for debt extinguishments and provides accounting standards for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions. The statement is effective for certain lease transactions occurring after May 15, 2002 and all other provisions of the statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The implementation of SFAS No. 145 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which updates accounting and reporting standards for personnel and operational restructurings. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 146 for exit, disposal or other restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 ("FIN 45"), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." The adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's finacial position or results of operations. In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment to SFAS No. 123." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method on accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The adoption of SFAS No. 148 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." The adoption of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS -------------------------------------------- As of the periods presented, the Partnership has acquired limited partnership interests in six Local Limited Partnerships, each of which owns one Housing Complex consisting of an aggregate of 216 apartment units. As of June 30, 2003, construction or rehabilitation of the Housing Complexes has been completed. 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. 11 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003 (unaudited) NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS, CONTINUED ------------------------------------------------------- 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, 2003, 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 officer, 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, 2003 and March 31, 2003, the Partnership incurred acquisition fees of $686,980. Accumulated amortization of these capitalized costs was $46,079 and $40,352 as of June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. (b) Acquisition costs of 2% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Units as full reimbursement of costs incurred by the General Partner in connection with the acquisition of Local Limited Partnerships. As of June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, the Partnership incurred acquisition costs of $196,280. Accumulated amortization of these capitalized costs was $13,344 and $11,707 as of June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003, respectively. (c) An annual asset management fee not to exceed 0.2% of the invested assets (defined as the Partnership's capital contributions plus reserves of the Partnership of up to 5% of gross proceeds plus its allocable percentage of the mortgage debt encumbering the housing complexes) of the Local Limited Partnerships. Management fees of $5,871 were incurred in each of the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Partnership paid the General Partner or its affiliates $5,871 and $0 of these fees during the three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. 13 WNC HOUSING TAX CREDIT FUND VI, L.P., SERIES 8 (A California Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED For the Quarterly Period June 30, 2003 (unaudited) NOTE 3 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, CONTINUED ---------------------------------------------- (d) 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 Partnership Agreement) and is payable only if the General Partner or its affiliates render services in the sales effort. Accrued fees and expenses due to the General Partner and affiliates consisted of the following as of:

NOTE 4 - PAYABLES TO LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS ----------------------------------------- Payables to limited partnerships amounting to $197,347 at June 30, 2003 and March 31, 2003 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. 14 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, 2003 and 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, 2003 consisted primarily of $661,000 in cash and aggregate investments in the six Local Limited Partnerships of $7,712,000. Liabilities at June 30, 2003 primarily consisted of $197,000 of notes payable to limited partnerships and $26,000 in accrued expenses and management fees due to the General Partner or affiliates. Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2002. The Partnership's net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $(81,000) reflecting an increase of $(82,000) from the net income of $1,000 experienced for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The increase in net loss is primarily due to an increase of equity in losses from limited partnerships of $(80,000) from $16,000 of income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 to $(64,000) of losses for the three months ended June 30, 2003 as properties became fully operational. Along with the increase of equity in losses from limited partnerships, loss from operations increased by $(2,000) due to a decrease in interest income of $4,000 and a decrease in other operating expenses of approximately $(2,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Cash Flows Year Ended June 30, 2003 Compared to Year Ended June 30, 2002. Net decrease in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $(2,000), compared to a net decrease in cash for the three months ended June 30, 2002 of $(123,000) reflecting a decrease in cash used of $121,000. The change in net cash used is due primarily to a decrease of $(119,000) in cash used in investing activities, due to the decrease in capital contributions to Local Limited Partnerships as their balances were paid down, and a decrease in net cash used by financing activities by $(3,000) due to the completion of syndication process. The decrease in cash used by financing activities was offset by an increase of $1,000 in cash used in operating activities for the three months June 30, 2003. The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available assets at June 30, 2003, to be sufficient to meet all currently foreseeable future cash requirements. 15 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk NOT APPLICABLE Item 4. Controls and Procedures Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a- 14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. Part II.

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report; 4. The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the registrant and we have: (a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared; (b) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and (c) presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date; 5. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function): (a) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls; and (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal controls; and 6. The registrant's other certifying officer and I have indicated in this quarterly report whether or not there were significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of our most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
