NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The accompanying condensed unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. 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, 2011.

Organization

WNC California Housing Tax Credits, L.P., (the "Partnership"), is a California Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California on September 15, 1988. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership interests in other limited partnerships (“Local Limited Partnerships”) which own multi-family housing complexes (“Housing Complexes”) that are eligible for Federal low income housing tax credits (“Low Income Housing Tax Credits”). The local general partners (the “Local General Partners”) of each Local Limited Partnership retain responsibility for maintaining, operating and managing the Housing Complexes. Each Local Limited Partnership is governed by its agreement of limited partnership (the “Local Limited Partnership Agreement”).

WNC & Associates, Inc., a California corporation (“Associates”), and Wilfred N. Cooper, Sr., are general partners of the Partnership (collectively, the ~~"General Partner" or~~ “General Partners”). The chairman and president of Associates 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.

The Partnership shall continue in full force and effect until December 31, 2037 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 10,000 units of Limited Partnership interests (“Partnership Units”) at $1,000 per Partnership Unit. The offering of Partnership Units concluded in October 1990 at which time 7,450 Partnership Units representing subscriptions in the amount of $7,450,000, had been accepted. The General Partners have a 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, cash available for distribution from the Partnership and Low Income Housing Tax Credits of the Partnership. The investors (the “Limited Partners”) will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in proportion to their respective investments.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

The proceeds from the disposition of any of the Local Limited Partnership Housing Complexes will be used first to pay debts and other obligations per the respective Local Limited Partnership Agreement. Any remaining proceeds will then be paid to the Partnership. The sale of a Housing Complex may be subject to other restrictions and obligations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that a Local Limited Partnership will be able to sell its Housing Complex. Even if it does so, there can be no assurance that any significant amounts of cash will be distributed to the Partnership. Should such distributions occur, the Limited Partners will be entitled to receive distributions equal to their capital contributions and their return on investment (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) and the General Partners would then be entitled to receive proceeds equal to their capital contributions from the remainder. Any additional sale or refinancing proceeds will be distributed 99% to the Limited Partners (in proportion to their respective investments) and 1% to the General Partners.

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 Tax Credits rules are extremely complicated. Noncompliance with these rules results in the loss of future Low Income Housing Tax Credits and the fractional recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits already taken. In most cases the annual amount of Low Income Housing Tax 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 price which would result in the Partnership realizing cash distributions or proceeds from the transaction. Accordingly, the Partnership may be unable to distribute any cash to its Limited Partners. Low Income Housing Tax 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 ~~operations~~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 “Compliance Period”), the loss of any remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits, a fractional recapture of prior Low Income Housing Tax Credits, and a loss of the Partnership’s investment in the Housing Complex would occur. The Partnership is a limited partner or a 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 Tax Credits and recapture of Low Income Housing Tax 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 Housing Complexes, and neighborhood conditions, among others.

Changes in tax laws could also impact the ~~Local~~tax ~~Limited~~benefits ~~Partnerships~~from an investment in the ~~future~~Partnership and/or the value of the Housing Complexes.

All of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits anticipated to be realized from the Local Limited Partnerships have been realized. The Partnership does not anticipate being allocated any Low Income Housing Tax Credits from the Local Limited Partnerships in the future.

No trading market for the Partnership Units exists or is expected to develop. Limited Partners may be unable to sell their Partnership Units except at a discount and should consider their Partnership Units to be a long-term investment. Individual Limited Partners will have no recourse if they disagree with actions authorized by a vote of the majority of Limited Partners.

The Partnership currently has insufficient working capital to fund its operations. Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through ~~August~~November 3130, 2012.

Anticipated future and existing cash resources of the Partnership are not sufficient to pay existing liabilities of the Partnership. However, substantially all of the existing liabilities of the Partnership are payable to the General Partner and/or its affiliates. Though the amounts payable to the General ~~Partner~~Partners and/or ~~its~~their affiliates are contractually currently payable, the Partnership anticipates that the General ~~Partner~~Partners and/or ~~its~~their affiliates will not require the payment of these contractual obligations until capital reserves are in excess of the aggregate of then existing contractual obligations and then anticipated future foreseeable obligations of the Partnership. The Partnership would be adversely affected should the General ~~Partner~~Partners and/or ~~its~~their affiliates demand current payment of the existing contractual obligations and or suspend services for this or any other reason.

Exit Strategy

The Compliance Period for a Housing Complex is generally 15 years following construction or rehabilitation completion. Associates ~~were~~was one of the first in the industry to offer syndicated investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The initial programs have completed their Compliance Periods.

Upon the sale of a Local Limited Partnership ~~Interest~~ or Housing Complex after the end of the Compliance Period, there would be no recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. All Local Limited Partnerships have completed their 15-year Compliance Period.

With that in mind, the General ~~Partner~~Partners isare continuing ~~its~~their review of the Housing Complexes. The review considers many factors, including extended use requirements (such as those due to mortgage restrictions or state compliance agreements), the condition of the Housing Complexes, and the tax consequences to the Limited Partners from the sale of the Housing Complexes. See below for the status of the remaining Housing Complexes.

Upon identifying those Housing Complexes with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or re-syndication, the Partnership expects to proceed with efforts to liquidate them. The objective is to wind down the Partnership as Low Income Housing Tax Credits are no longer available. Local Limited Partnership interests may be disposed of any time by the General Partner in its discretion. While liquidation of the Housing Complexes continues to be evaluated, the dissolution of the Partnership was not imminent as of June 30, 2011.

The total sales price including replacement reserves was $1,692,000, which was disbursed as follows: the General Partner of Alta Vista was paid $66,000 in sales preparation fees, $1,362,580 was used to pay off the outstanding mortgages and $2,347 of selling costs were paid, which left $261,073 of cash proceeds to be distributed to the Partnership. The Partnership’s investment balance was zero as of June 30, 2011. Accordingly, a gain of $256,001 was recorded at the time of the sale since the Partnership incurred legal and appraisal expenses of $5,072. The cash proceeds were used to pay $221,073 in accrued asset management fees and the remaining $40,000 was placed in the Partnership’s reserves for future operating expenses. An additional distribution of $1,584 was made to the Partnership during the three months ended September 30, 2011, which was included in gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships on the statements of operations.

On July 15, 2011, the Partnership sold its Local Limited Partnership Interest in Knights Landing LTD. (“Knights Landing”) to an unrelated third party. Knights Landing was appraised with a value of $675,000 and the outstanding mortgage as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $934,000. The Limited Partnership Interest was sold for $30,000 which was paid to the Partnership. The Partnership used the cash proceeds to pay $26,303 in accrued asset management fees and $3,697 to reimburse the General Partner or an affiliate for expense paid on its behalf. No cash distribution was made to the Limited Partners. The Partnership incurred appraisal expenses of $2,600 and legal expenses of $644 related to the sale. The Partnership’s investment balance was zero at the time of the sale, therefore, a gain of $26,756 was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. The Compliance Period has expired so there is no risk of tax credit recapture.

The last Local Limited Partnership, Midland Manor Associates (“Midland”), has been identified for disposition. Midland was appraised with a value of $785,000 and the outstanding mortgage as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $1,357,000. The Local General Partner has requested to exercise his right to an Option Agreement as outlined in the Limited Partnership Agreement, which was executed by all parties. An offer of $1,420,000 was accepted for the Local Limited Partnership and the sale of the Local Limited Partnership is scheduled to close on November 16, 2011 for $34,371. The Partnership will use the cash proceeds to pay $17,186 of debts and obligations of the Partnership, with $17,186 to remain in reserve for future expenses. The Compliance Period has expired and no further credits are being generated by Midland.

The Partnership will convert to the liquidation basis of accounting as of the last day of the quarter in which the final Local Limited Partnership is sold. This date is anticipated to be December 31, 2011.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The Partnership accounts for its investments in Local 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 at least annually or 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 the estimated value derived by management, generally consisting of the sum of the remaining future Low Income Housing Tax Credits estimated to be allocable to the Partnership and the estimated residual value to the Partnership. If an investment is considered to be impaired, the Partnership reduces the carrying value of its investment in any such Local Limited Partnership. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships, generally, are expected to be consistent with those of the Partnership. Costs incurred by the Partnership in acquiring the investments are capitalized as part of the investment account and were being amortized over 27.5 years (see Note 2).

“Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships” for the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 have been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three and six-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 of Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below zero. 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 (see Note 2).

“Equity in losses of Local Limited Partnerships” for the periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 have been recorded by 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 of Local Limited Partnerships allocated to the Partnership are not recognized to the extent that the investment balance would be adjusted below zero. 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 (see Note 2).

In accordance with the accounting guidance for the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Partnership determines when it should include the assets, liabilities, and activities of a variable interest entity (VIE) in its financial statements, and when it should disclose information about its relationship with a VIE. The analysis that must be performed to determine which entity should consolidate a VIE focuses on control and economic factors. A VIE is a legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets, which must be consolidated by a company if it is the primary beneficiary because it has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

Based on this guidance, the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests meet the definition of a VIE because the owners of the equity at risk in these entities do not have the power to direct their operations. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership's interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities that are considered most significant to the economic performance of these entities. The Partnership currently records the amount of its investment in these Local Limited Partnerships as an asset on its balance sheets, recognizes its share of partnership income or losses in the statements of operations, and discloses how it accounts for material types of these investments in its financial statements. The Partnership's balance in investment in Local Limited Partnerships, plus the risk of recapture of tax credits previously recognized on these investments, represents its maximum exposure to loss. The Partnership's exposure to loss on these Local Limited Partnerships is mitigated by the condition and financial performance of the underlying Housing Complexes as well as the strength of the Local General Partners and their guarantee against credit recapture to the investors in the Partnership.

Distributions received by the Partnership 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, 2011 all of the investment balances had reached zero.

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.

Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of ~~both~~September ~~June~~ 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Partnership had $0 and $5,291 in cash equivalents, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Partnership has elected to be treated as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes and, as such, is not subject to income taxes. Rather, all items of taxable income, deductions and tax credits are passed through to and are reported by its owners on their respective income tax returns. The Partnership’s federal tax status as a pass-through entity is based on its legal status as a partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership is not required to take any tax positions in order to qualify as a pass-through entity. The Partnership is required to file and does file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Accordingly, these financial statements do not reflect a provision for income taxes and the Partnership has no other tax positions which must be considered for disclosure.

Net Loss Per Partnership Unit

Net loss per Partnership Unit includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss allocated to Limited Partners by the weighted average number of Partnership Units outstanding during the period. Calculation of diluted net loss per Partnership Unit is not required.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership is entitled to receive reporting fees from the Local Limited Partnerships. The intent of the reporting fees is to offset (in part) administrative costs incurred by the Partnership in corresponding with the Local Limited Partnerships. Due to the uncertainty of the collection of these fees, the Partnership recognizes reporting fees as collections are made.

NOTE 2 - INVESTMENTS IN LOCAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS

As of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Partnership owns Local Limited Partnership interests in one and three Local Limited Partnerships, respectively.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

With the exception of the discussion regarding historical information, this “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, the Partnership’s 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 the Partnership or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements in this Form 10-Q and in other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The following discussion and analysis compares the results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, and should be read in conjunction with the condensed unaudited financial statements and accompanying notes included within this report.

Financial Condition

The Partnership’s assets at ~~June~~September 30, 2011 consisted of $5932,000 in cash and ~~cash equivalents and 5~~$3,000 of other assets. Liabilities at ~~June~~September 30, 2011 consisted of $1,~~603~~567,000 of accrued fees and expenses due to the General ~~Partner~~Partners and ~~its~~their affiliates ~~and accrued expenses of $10,000~~.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The Partnership’s net income for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 was $~~223~~17,000, reflecting an increase of approximately $9642,000 from the $~~127~~(25,000) net ~~income~~loss experienced for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The ~~increase~~change ~~in net income~~ was primarily due to a $~~116~~28,000 increase in gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2010. The gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships will vary from period to period depending on the values and sales prices of the Housing Complexes that have been identified for disposition and the closing dates of such transactions. There was also a $121,000 decrease in legal and accounting fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to the timing of the work performed for the Partnership. There was also a $4,000 decrease in asset management fees for the three months ended September 30, 2011. These fees are calculated based on the ~~invested~~Invested ~~assets~~Assets of the Partnership. As Local Limited Partnerships are sold, the ~~invested~~Invested ~~assets~~Assets ~~decrease,~~decreases thereby decreasing the asset management fees that are incurred. There was also ana ~~increase~~decrease of approximately $~~(21~~5,000) in ~~legal~~reporting ~~and~~fees ~~accounting~~for ~~fees~~the ~~due~~three tomonths ~~the~~ended ~~timing~~September 30, 2011. All but one of the ~~accounting~~Local ~~work~~Limited ~~performed~~Partnerships has been sold, therefore fewer entities are paying reporting fees to the Partnership.

~~Liquidity and Capital Resources~~16

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010. Net increase in cash during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $14,000 compared to a net increase in cash for the three months ended June 30, 2010 of $48,000. The change is due primarily to the fact that during the three months ended June 30, 2011 the Partnership paid $(226,000) and $(21,000) to the General Partner or an affiliate for accrued asset management fees and reimbursement of operating expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership, respectively, compared to $(93,000) and $(2,000) paid for accrued asset management fees and reimbursements due to the General Partner or affiliate, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Each quarter, the Partnership evaluates its cash position and determines if payments are going to be made to the General Partner and/or affiliates. During the three months ended June 30, 2011 the Partnership received $256,000 in net proceeds from the sale of a Local Limited Partnership compared to $140,000 of net sales proceeds received during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended September 30, 2010. The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended September 30, 2011 was $(13,000) compared to a net increase in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended September 30, 2010 of $17,000. The change is due primarily to the fact that during the six months ended September 30, 2011 the Partnership paid $(269,000) and $(37,000) to the General Partner or an affiliate for accrued asset management fees and reimbursement of operating expenses paid on behalf of the Partnership, respectively, compared to $(103,000) and $(28,000) paid for accrued asset management fees and reimbursements due to the General Partner or affiliate, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Each quarter, the Partnership evaluates its cash position and determines if payments are going to be made to the General Partner and/or affiliates. During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Partnership received $284,000 in proceeds from sales of Local Limited Partnerships compared to $140,000 received from sales during the six months ended September 30, 2010.

During the six months ended September 30, 2011, accrued payables, which consist primarily of related party asset management fees and advances due to the General Partners, decreased by $259,000. The General Partners do not anticipate that these accrued fees and advances will be paid until such time as capital reserves are in excess of foreseeable working capital requirements of the Partnership.

The Partnership expects its future cash flows, together with its net available assets as of September 30, 2011, to be insufficient to meet all currently foreseeable future cash requirements. Associates has agreed to continue providing advances sufficient enough to fund the operations and working capital requirements of the Partnership through November 30, 2012.

Recent Accounting Changes

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance for Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and shall be applied prospectively except for very limited transactions. In February 2008, the FASB delayed for one year implementation of the guidance as it pertains to certain non-financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership adopted GAAP for Fair Value Measurements effective April 1, 2008, except as it applies to those non-financial assets and liabilities, for which the effective date was April 1, 2009. The Partnership has determined that adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements.

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

In November 2008, the FASB issued accounting guidance on Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations that addresses how the initial carrying value of an equity method investment should be determined, how an impairment assessment of an underlying indefinite-lived intangible asset of an equity method investment should be performed, how an equity method investee’s issuance of shares should be accounted for, and how to account for a change in an investment from the equity method to the cost method. This guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Partnership adopted the guidance for the interim quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. The impact of adopting it did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance for Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. It became effective for as of and for the interim period ended June 30, 2009 and had no impact on the Partnership’s financial condition or results of ~~operations~~operation.

In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which was subsequently updated in February 2010. This guidance established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this guidance sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This guidance was effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, and was therefore adopted by the Partnership for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the subsequent events that the Partnership reports, either through recognition or disclosure, in the financial statements. In February 2010, the FASB amended its guidance on subsequent events to remove the requirement to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, alleviating conflicts with current SEC guidance. This amendment was effective immediately and therefore the Partnership did not include the disclosure in this Form 10-Q.

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

In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting and disclosure requirements for the consolidation of VIEs. The amended guidance modified the consolidation model to one based on control and economics, and replaced quantitative primary beneficiary analysis with a qualitative analysis. The primary beneficiary of a VIE will be the entity that has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If multiple unrelated parties share such power, as defined, no party will be required to consolidate the VIE. Further, the amended guidance requires continual reconsideration of the primary beneficiary of a VIE and adds an additional reconsideration event for determination of whether an entity is a VIE. Additionally, the amendment requires enhanced and expanded disclosures around VIEs. This amendment was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. The adoption of this guidance on April 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued the Accounting Standards Codification (Codification). Effective July 1, 2009, the Codification is the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. The Codification is intended to reorganize, rather than change, existing GAAP. Accordingly, all references to currently existing GAAP have been removed and have been replaced with plain English explanations of the Partnership’s accounting policies. The adoption of the Codification did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

NOT APPLICABLE

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure controls and procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s General Partner, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Associates, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Partnership’s “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, consistent with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Partnership must rely on the Local Limited Partnerships to provide the Partnership with certain information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports. Factors in the accounting at the Local Limited Partnerships have caused delays in the provision of such information during past reporting periods, and resulted in the Partnership’s inability to file its periodic reports in a timely manner.

Once the Partnership has received the necessary information from the Local Limited Partnerships, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Associates believe that the material information required to be disclosed in the Partnership’s periodic report filings with SEC is effectively recorded, processed, summarized and reported, albeit not in a timely manner. Going forward, the Partnership will use the means reasonably within its power to impose procedures designed to obtain from the Local Limited Partnerships the information necessary to the timely filing of the Partnership’s periodic reports.

(b) Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.
