NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General

The ~~accompanying~~ 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 ~~nine~~three months ended ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2013~~2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, ~~2014~~2015. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes ~~thereto included~~ included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, ~~2013~~2014.

Organization

WNC California Housing Tax Credits III, L.P. , (the “Partnership”), is a California Limited Partnership formed under the laws of the State of California on October 5, 1992 and began operations on July 19, 1993. The Partnership was formed to acquire limited partnership interests in other limited partnerships (“Local Limited Partnerships”) which own multi-family or senior 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”).

The general partner of the Partnership is WNC California ~~Housing~~ Tax ~~Credit~~Credits Partners III, L.P. (the “General Partner”). WNC & Associates, Inc. (“Associates”) and Wilfred N. Cooper Sr. are the general partners of the General Partner. The chairman ~~and~~ and president of Associates own 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, 2050 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.

Pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on February 17, 1993, the Partnership commenced a public offering of 30,000 units of limited partnership interest (“Partnership Units”) at a price of $1,000 per Partnership Unit. As of the close of the public offering on July 22, 1994, a total of 17,990 Partnership Units representing $17,990,000 had been sold. During 1995, an additional 10 Partnership Units amounting to $10,000 was collected on subscriptions accepted and previously deemed uncollectible. The General Partner has a 1% interest in operating profits and losses, taxable income and losses, in cash available for distribution from the Partnership and Low Income Housing Tax Credits of the Partnership. The investors in the Partnership (“Limited Partners”) will be allocated the remaining 99% of these items in proportion to their respective investments. As of ~~December~~June 3130, ~~2013~~2014, a total of 17,917 Partnership Units remain outstanding.

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 Partner would then be entitled to receive proceeds equal to ~~their~~its capital contributions 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.

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 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.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

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 Tax Credits and tax losses allocable to Limited Partners 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.

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.

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 and/or its affiliates are contractually currently payable, the Partnership anticipates that the General Partner and/or its 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 and/or its affiliates demand current payment of the existing contractual obligations and or suspend services for this or any other reason.

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 ~~February~~September 2830, 2015.

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~~ interest or Housing Complex after the end of the Compliance Period, there would be no recapture of Low Income Housing Tax Credits. A sale prior to the end of the Compliance Period could result in recapture if certain conditions are not met. All remaining Local Limited Partnerships have completed their Compliance Periods.

With that in mind, the General Partner is continuing its 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.

FUpon identifying those Housing Complexes with the highest potential for a successful sale, refinancing or re-7syndication, 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, 2014.

Method of Accounting for Investments in Local Limited Partnerships

The Partnership ~~following~~accounts ~~table~~for ~~represents~~its investments in Local Limited Partnerships using the ~~use~~equity method of accounting, whereby the Partnership ~~cash~~adjusts ~~proceeds~~its ~~from~~investment ~~the~~balance ~~disposition~~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 ~~were~~the ~~disposed~~carrying amount of ~~during~~such investment may not be recoverable. Recoverability of such investment is measured by the ~~nine~~estimated ~~months~~value ~~ended~~derived ~~December~~by management, generally consisting 31of 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, ~~2013:~~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 June 30, 2014 and 2013 has not been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three-month periods 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).

~~F-8~~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.

~~NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued~~(Unaudited)

~~As of December 31, 2013, the Local Limited~~NOTE ~~Partnership Interest in Colonial Village Roseville was identified to be sold. Colonial Village Roseville was appraised for $2,655,000 and had a mortgage note balance of $~~1~~,485,033~~ as- ofSUMMARY ~~December~~OF ~~31,~~SIGNIFICANT ~~2012.~~ACCOUNTING The Partnership’s investment balance is zero. The Compliance Period has been completed therefore there is no risk of recapture and investor approval is not required. The sale of the Local Limited Partnership is expected to close by June 30POLICIES, ~~2014.~~continued

~~Method~~Based on this guidance, the Local Limited Partnerships in which the Partnership invests meet the definition of ~~Accounting~~a VIE. However, management does not consolidate the Partnership’s interests in these VIEs, as it is not considered to be the primary beneficiary. 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 ~~Investments~~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 to 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.

~~The Partnership accounts for its investments~~Distributions inreceived ~~Local~~by ~~Limited Partnerships using~~ the ~~equity method of accounting, whereby the~~ Partnership ~~adjusts~~are ~~its~~accounted ~~investment balance~~ for ~~its~~ ~~share~~as ofa ~~the~~reduction ~~Local Limited Partnerships’ results~~ of ~~operations and for any contributions made and distributions received.

IfAs ~~an investment is considered to be impaired, the Partnership reduces the carrying value~~ of ~~its~~June ~~investment in any such Local Limited Partnership. The accounting policies of the Local Limited Partnerships~~30, ~~generally~~2014, ~~are~~all ~~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~~balances ~~and~~had ~~were~~reached ~~amortized over 27~~zero.~~5 years (see Note 2).~~

~~“Equity~~Use ~~in losses~~ of Local Limited Partnerships” for the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 has been recorded by the Partnership. Management’s estimate for the three and nine-month periods 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).Estimates

Results of Operations

(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 30, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2012. The Partnership’s net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was $(15,000), reflecting a decrease of $3,000 from the $(18,000) net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012. There was a $6,000 decrease in asset management fees for the three months ended December 31, 2013. These fees are calculated based on the invested assets, which decreased due to the dispositions of Local Limited Partnerships.

~~Nine Months Ended December 31, 2013 Compared~~Part ~~to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012~~II. Other The Partnership’s net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2013 was $(42,000), reflecting a decrease of $(80,000) from the $38,000 net income for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in net income was partially due to a $(113,000) decrease in gain on sale of Local Limited Partnerships for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The gains recorded vary from period to period depending on the sale prices and values of the Local Limited Partnerships sold. There was also a $17,000 decrease in asset management fees for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. These fees are calculated based on the invested assets, which decreased due to the dispositions of Local Limited Partnerships in the prior year. There was a $2,000 decrease in legal and accounting fees due to the timing of the accounting work performed. The distribution income increased by $13,000 and reporting fees decreased $(1,000) for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. Local Limited Partnerships pay distribution income and reporting fees to the Partnership when the Local Limited Partnerships’ cash flows will allow for the payment.Information

~~Item~~The Partnership 2is a limited partner in Colonial Village Roseville, a California limited partnership (“Colonial Roseville”). Colonial ~~Management’s~~Roseville ~~Discussion~~owns and ~~Analysis~~operates ofan ~~Financial~~apartment ~~Condition~~complex. ~~and~~Project ~~Results~~GO, Incorporated (“Project GO”) is the general partner of ~~Operations,~~Colonial ~~continued~~Roseville.

~~Liquidity~~Notwithstanding its prior indications to the contrary, Project GO refused to accept an offer to buy its general partner interest in Colonial Roseville, and ~~Capital~~in ~~Resources~~Colonial Village Auburn, a California limited partnership (“Colonial Auburn”), the limited partnership interest in which is owned by another investment fund sponsored by Associates. Rather, Project GO engaged counsel to issue threatening letters to the Partnership. Consequently, the Partnership and the WNC investment fund that owns the limited partner interest in Colonial Auburn have commenced litigation against Project GO.

4In light of the foregoing statute, the following alternative courses of action could result. The Partnership has been informed by counsel that these are the most likely alternatives. The actual result will depend on the court and on actions taken by Project GO and the Partnership as the court action progresses.

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 December 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

	●	Following the appraisal process, Project GO purchases the Partnership’s Colonial Roseville LP Interest for its appraised value established by court order.

	●	Following the appraisal process, Project GO does not purchase the interest of the Partnership. Funds from the bond are paid to the Partnership to cover all or part of its legal costs. The court enters an order requiring the dissolution of Colonial Roseville. Colonial Roseville winds up its affairs under California law by selling its apartment complex.

	●	The court action is resolved by settlement.

5Accordingly, the ultimate resolution is at present uncertain, and the resolution may be some time in coming. No estimate of a timetable can be provided at this time.
